DESPITE EVERYTHING DESPITE MY CHRONICALLY CURSED INTERNATIONAL MAIL PROBLEM I AM STILL THE ZONE RPG
#bakuspeech#and I guess this counts as#bakuspecial#ouuuuuu#my art! on cards! characters I kinda got to build with my visuals!!#also upon getting this which I had mailed to the senpai's place instead of mine in an effort to break the curse we immediately#ran a game. that was supposed to be short. but ended up extending past midnigt#AND had to stop for the night before act 2 even begins#but. its SO fun. the game pieces do just the right amount of heavy lifting for u that it frees u up to make up Real out there stuff#like. we ran a game on the browser version. and while it was also Really fun it got stressful to make stuff up#now if we're stuck we just pick up cards#and like. idk for kinda the first time really? I get the appeal of roleplaying with someone else#I'm usually such a control freak about the stories I tell lmao#with the visual aids in this set I get to imagine the character dynamics so much more easily#like this time around the senpai picked the scientist archetype#and he made that guy a white guy with some means who has been sending people to death to serve his science#and my character's an asian guy who was with a pest control service (yes I picked the trevor henderson character lmao)#who got drafted into the bureau and works as like cleanup/fodder#so immediately I got to go like oh so I hate your guts. and you condescend at me#which turned out to be a Very fun dynamic to roleplay lmao#throughout act 1 we've made this dynamic steadily Worse. one of them envies the other into oblivion#while the other can now communicate with No one except his mission partner#and we're gonna craft the second act as chase. a predator and a prey. gods. it was SO fun#its so funny both of them were touting to be smart or good at their job. and then they went into the zone and Immediately got fucked up#this game really gives u that satisfaction and fascination with like. when things go wrong in way too thematically fitting and messy ways#lmao my contract's fulfilled I do not have to talk this game up. its just really fun. man I enjoy that so much#sadly my pool of english speakers who can play this game with me is not big#I'll try and find time to run a few small games in the near future... maybe during lunar new year#I was over at the senpai's today to toast out birthdays lol. to get that out of the way we've been planning something like that for weeks#weve been both way too busy. with different sliding scales of uh. how pleasant that busy's been

Lmao, it always goes back to those Prohero Arc connections and clarity I swear. And people wonder why I’m so obsessed with that arc for this single reason. I think one of my favorite things is the character development you’ve been going through. Perhaps the real iconic narrative arc all along was Rani turning into a passionate AfoHawks spokesperson. *chefs kiss* the pOETRY 🎶
LISTEN. YOU DONT GET HOW FUCKING WEIRD THIS IS????? 2020-21 I was off roleplaying my dhampir!keigo, infiltrating AFO's coven and stupidly falling in love with his ward sacrifice Fae/Werewolf!Tomura and failing in killing him (Tomura cursed him to hell and back and Jin didn't help with his curse, fucking fae :/), but like WE NOTICED when we roleplayed Keigo FINALLY meeting AFO that like....the whole dynamic changed. There wasn't anything non-platonic (except keigo whining in the local monster support chat that the vampire lord of the area was boring af because real vampires throw massive masquerade balls that turn into orgies) but just....Hawks was at once at extremely high alert but also far more honest than he'd ever been. The pleasant and quirky local surfshop clerk/ditzy halfvamp schtick melted. This was a weapon. And not just a weapon; this was a vampire who could see the world just like All For One could, if he'd just flee the coop his human raisers had stuffed him into. Like the similarities in thinking jumped out. Of course Keigo wasn't exactly like AFO but I still remember that our tomura RPer had Tomura specifically mention (once they got all the files from Hawks's treachery/spy chats) how much Keigo sounds like sensei. It was fun! And it made it stick in my mind that surprisingly, Keigo and AFO could interact interestingly. This was bolstered by that chapter in 2021 where Keigo begins psychoanalyzing him, too. It was so interesting seeing him try to think like him. But you know, it's not like I expected canon to explore this. Even in the beginning of the war, I didn't. Something to note is that for the majority of the fight, All For One's own hubris and bias towards very flashy destructive quirks has blind-sided him to Hawks and his role in this war, by which I mean (and I can back up) is that most of the hero effort has indeed been carried on Keigo's back or orchestrated. It took until AFO got rewound to realize how much Horikoshi was setting them up. Endeavor barely mattered between them. And then...well, they started talking. Focusing on each other more. What am I supposed to do, ignore it????? It got heavier and heavier, the panels mirroring each other, converging at times, etc. Just Horikoshi doing excellently for a pair of people I never imagined would interact. And now we have Keigo laying on the ground, defeated, stripped of all that he believes he is, as All For One asks him if he's tired and then leaves with his wings, saying in the end he couldn't protect anyone. Too fast for his own good. Hubris.
LIKE??? HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE SPOKESPERSON?????? i am a simple man, I like rich dynamics and cool framing and horikoshi feeds me regularly.
EDIT: was about to publish this but got a similar ask
Tumblr media
Oh yes I absolutely loved the quietness of this. First he tells him to get out of his way and then, like, "Haven't you done your best?" It's a solemn moment, surprisingly, and I hope the anime does it justice in a year or two. And the god imagery! Ugh! i have SO MUCH to say on this but you have to wait because im doing a Big Meta again lol.
As for HPSC prez Keigo, part of me thinks that would be a Bad End. Or bittersweet at most. I remember misinterpreting one of the vol extras to mean that the HPSC was essentially grooming him to eventually replace her and there's something very fucked in that thought. I do however think he might do something with kids!

man. it's weird, because there's a lot of things about me that are Very Badger Primary, to the point where i would probably pick it with a strong bird model over anything else at this point... except that i hate dehumanization. i saw primaries described recently as 'things you wouldn't be you anymore if you went against,' and more than just about anything else that's it. even when i think people are monsters, i can't see them as not human; i'd be hard put to define exactly what i consider a 'monster,' but it's more about like. good faith than personhood, i suppose?
it's not necessarily a permanent status to be one--people can change--but my deeply held instinct is that once you have done something monstrous you will always be a person who has been a monster by your own choices, and that it's your duty to learn how to accept that while still living your life, and act accordingly from thereon out. you have to reconcile that you are a person with the fact that some doors are closed to you now, and it's up to you to decide what you do from there.
just. like. even when i hate someone and as far as i'm concerned they can go fuck themself, even in the multiple Heavily Badger social environments i've been in over the course of my life--church, progressive circles, the way the structure of the internet kind of just affects you in general--even on occasions where i've gotten swept away and given in to the pressure to dehumanize (or perform it) for a minute, there's always, always been a voice in the back of my head saying this is a person. this is a person. this is a person. this isn't right.
unintentional dehumanization sets off my '...should we really be doing this? we are getting into not good territory here, it's time to pull up and start questioning' alarms. explicit, intentional, purposeful dehumanization sets off the whole ass tornado sirens. if people on my side are doing it it's enough to throw me into a system-destabilizing crisis, because NO NO NO I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RIDE, I WANT NO PART OF THESE PEOPLE'S MORAL SYSTEM, I FEEL UNCLEAN. it's a good way to make sure i will never, ever, ever trust someone again.
things that are Really Really Badger, off the top of my head (after the cut because Long and trauma talk):
[[MORE]]
---
-i've always loved playing adoptable games, pet simulators, etc? any game with randomly generated characters that are Yours Now and a Community, in a deeply badgery way. including games where they can die (the satisfying part is making sure they don't). except that, no matter how much fun the gameplay is, if it gets to the point where they start feeling disposable, and the only way to really keep playing is to stop humanizing them, i lose interest. it's super fucking depressing. it feels like part of me dying inside a little. i don't like it at all.
-i've always been drawn to fandoms and roleplaying communities. i was fiercely loyal to, and proud of, my first rp community on dragoncave as a 13-year-old. when my abusive mom found out about it and completely isolated me for half a year, the promise of being able to make it back to them--just sneakier this time--kept me going; when i finally got back and the group had drifted apart in my absence, it.... was absolutely devastating. i never really recovered from it. even then, i spent years trying to get the group back together every now and then, until i finally gave up.
-i am always keenly, painfully aware of the life cycle of a community. every time i hear the sentiment 'you guys are all great and i love this group' my stomach drops, because i know it's only a matter of time before things go sour or the group dissolves. rp groups, skype chats/discord servers, fandoms, you name it, i am always bracing myself or staying away entirely to avoid the inevitable and it hurts. and it hurts to see people taking part in a community i don't dare be part of, which makes lurking in fandoms... really rough. frankly, it takes me a lot of courage every time i express my appreciation for the shc community because i've been burned so many times.
-on that note: i went through some really traumatic stuff at the end of 2020 that completely turned my life upside down, and i was doing bad until i stumbled across the shc community. the moment i started engaging, it was a huge boost to my mental health, and my ability to cope with circumstances under which i was about to break down spectacularly. and it has been ever since! contributing to The Group Project and seeing other folks being friendly with each other gives me the happy feelings.
-i used to go out of my way to build and run spaces, mainly fandom and rp spaces, and took a lot of pride in engineering them so that they Functioned Well. unfortunately it wore me the hell down over the years for Burnt Badger Reasons, and now i'm too jaded, bitter, and exhausted to give a shit about being a mod/community leader anymore because of it lmao
-among those burnt badger things i relate HARD to the Red Ledger narrative. hoo boy.
-i wish i could find it again, but there was an mlp comic i saw once which went into luna's observations of what each element of harmony Means. with the element of friendship, she says that twilight has a massive amount of love to give; right now it's all focused on celestia, but when she learns to expand it outward she'll have grown into her full potential as a person, and she'll change the world. that struck a chord with how i used to feel, hard, and it's really stuck with me ever since. (hello, unhealthy snake model)
-emphasis on 'used to feel,' lmao
-got super invested in a really toxic '''mental health''' community at a low point in my life; exploded HARD trying to help everyone i could; got into vicious, protracted fights with the shitty mods for years about the harmful way they ran their community until i finally managed to go 'fuck this it's not getting better' and leave.
-had to numb myself emotionally to the people around me for a long time once i really started learning about mental health and trauma stuff, because now i was seeing signs of their pain and baggage everywhere i looked, and i couldn't handle not being able to help.
-the imagery with which i think about my bird primary is overwhelmingly negative. whether it's my actual primary or a model, i uh. i feel like a healthy relationship to one's primary doesn't involve associating it with gore.
-i saw a conversation recently about how birds think of morality in terms of 'if you can, you should,' and how that's scary for badgers because their definition of 'can' involves destroying yourself for the sake of that 'should,' and... yeah, that's a mood. that's a BIG mood. thinking about bird primary stuff is hard--and i had to pick up my lion model to deal with it--because it's so easy for me to spiral into a self-shredding spiral of other people are counting on you to do the right thing, how dare you pull back for your own health and sanity. how dare you turn your back for even a minute. how dare you rest. the work is never done.
which is... a very exploded badger approach to exploded bird morality. whoops.
-fix-it and time travel fiction in which Everything Went Right This Time and It's Going to Be Okay are one of my very favorite self-indulgent fantasies. i will enjoy putting characters through the wringer in all kinds of creatively horrific ways which may or may not end on a downer note, certainly, i love that shit, but i will also 90% of the time have a backup version of the arc or dynamic that's softer and lighter and Actually Healthy This Time. it's the dichotomy there that really gets me tbh, a story where Everything Ends Happily by default will mmmaybe pull me in? but stories where there's the constant shadow of this could end horribly, it's supposed to end horribly, and we got a happy fucking ending anyway are just... that shit will make me cry, man.
it's also why i kind of really hate stable time loop stories where it initially looks like this is going to be The Good Timeline this time around, but OOPSIE everything went to shit anyway! we're right back where we started, just like it was meant to be all along! it's a tired cliche by this point and an unsatisfying one for me, and it makes me roll my eyes every time.
-this is relevant to the bird vs. badger because like... my gut instinct is to prioritize people over systems. when shit hits the fan, when someone's fallen into the machinery and is about to get hurt, i don't feel right about it if i just let it happen. i'll break the machinery if i have to to keep it away from them; i won't feel great about that, and it might cause problems, but fuck it, we'll figure it out later. throwing people into the gears of a system when i'm convinced it's the only option makes me feel Awful.
-related to the above, another trope that really speaks to me in fiction is when a character defies the rules of reality through sheer force of will. no, this is not happening, i don't give a shit what the limits are supposed to be. i refuse to let this be the way things are. (there's that lion model.)
-i've just kind of... always wanted to be an Everyone Badger. it makes me sad how much of that i've lost over the years as i've gotten more cynical, but it's what i wish i could be.
---
doubtless i'll think of more the moment i hit send, and there are just as many things about me that are Super Bird Primary, but like... mamma mia that's some spicy badger. the main thing stopping me is the Can't and Refuse to Dehumanize bit. i also... hm. i think i can function okay without a community? they just help a lot, and it sucks when i'm confronted with one i don't have a (stable) place in. any thoughts? is it possible for a bird system's foundation to run so deep that eventually it overrides the bird?

If The Omori Fandom Played Homestuck... [Pt 1]
Okay... so um... y’all know how I love assigning hero titles/classpects to characters and how I love the potential of Fandomstuck, right? Yeah, lmao so I decided to assign a hero title to my Fandomstuck interperetation of this psychological horror RPG game called OMORI! It’s a really good game and I had an idea for a hero title for them! And cuz I have a feeling this post is gonna be pretty long, I’ll go through what I think their lunar sway would be, as well as other things such as chumhandles, typing quirks, planets, sprites, strife kinds, and fetch modi in the next post uwu
Though please keep in mind that this is purely my opinion, and if you disagree with it, then that’s cool, you don’t have to listen to my conclusions! They’re merely suggestions uwu Additionally, all this speculation is based off of OptimisticDuelist’s own research and that this post will contain a lot of spoilers for OMORI, so be warned, and remember; this is all just for fun and to satisfy my Fandomstuck obsession :33
For the sake of not confusing the actual game from the character, I will refer to the game’s personification as ORI.
After playing the game, I strongly believe that ORI’S hero title is the Prince of Hope.
The aspect of hope relates to faith, possibilities, positive emotions, and all things imaginary, idealistic, and as my friend would say, all about “Faking it until you make it”. Additionaly, as quoted by optimisticDuelist, hope also “describes our faith in the narrative’s coherence, our excitement for building plot threads and our ability to immerse ourselves in the fictional world”. Majority of the game takes place in WHITE SPACE, a DREAM WORLD created by SUNNY after MARI’s death as a sort of coping mechanism to handle the guilt of the truth. Many things about the DREAM WORLD relates to hope, such as how SUNNY hopes to forget what really happened to his sister by immersing himself in the DREAM WORLD for the price of isolation in the real world (for FOUR years!) where, in the DREAM WORLD, everything is better because MARI is still alive there and all his friends are together and happy. The aspect of hope, however, is not just restricted to SUNNY/OMORI and WHITE SPACE, but also to the characters outside in the real world which is why I think the aspect of hope relates to ORI beyond the game’s protagonist. BASIL believes in SUNNY and that there was no way he could have killed MARI or vandilised all the photos, no matter how clear it was, and instead blames SOMETHING for all of it. Additionally, the rest of the cast believed in the lie SUNNY and BASIL created regarding MARI’S death and don’t even find out until the very end of the game if you get the true ending. We can also go a few steps further by bringing up the group’s hopes and dreams for a brighter future, SUNNY’s hope for forgivness and the fact that happy (And its other stages) are all positive emotions that play a role in battles.
Although I’m pretty set in stone about hope, you do see traits of other aspects throughout the game.
Time, since the aspect is linked to music, narrative pacing, decay, and is associated with photographs through the canon Knight of Time, Dave Strider. Right off the bat, we can link the whole photography thing to ORI since the truth is revealed to the player through a series of photos, and also that BASIL loves taking them. Additionally when the game brings us to the real world for the second time, we get to learn how the world SUNNY used to know changed in the last four years. Additionally, MARI and SUNNY played the piano and violin (respectively) and MARI died the day of their recital. If we wanted to go above and beyond, we could probably bring up how BASIL’S mental state takes a quick turn south when he finds out SUNNY’s gonna move, and on the last day, if left alone, will kill himself, which will either lead SUNNY to lock that memory away, or kill himself by stabbing or jumping off the hospital’s roof if the player gives up during OMORI’s battle. So yeah... lot’s of death.
Void and how it can represent secrets, lies, misfortune, and the unknowable alongside nothingness/meaninglessness and the physical world. This applies to ORI and how the whole reason WHITESPACE exists was due to MARI’s death and how it was covered up with a lie and how hard OMORI tries to stop SUNNY from discovering the truth.
Light, which represents imagination and true information, good fortune, and what’s important. Imagination also applies to WHITESPACE and how as the game goes one, we begin to learn the truth behind MARI’s death. 
Blood, which represents connection, responsibility, commitment to a collective, an attachment to the world and character dynamic. This applies to ORI and how despite the fact the characters had drifted apart ever since MARI’s death, they were all able to fall back together due to their friendship. Heck, the whole thing about them all being close friends is often seen and mentioned throught the game! In addition to that, the lack of connections ended up making everyone miserable and eventually, SUNNY owns up and tells the others how MARI really died in the end of the true end.
Heart, which reflects the soul, inner feelings, love and attraction, and platonic ideals of both people and objects. Additionally, canon heart players are known for roleplaying and personality splinters, which if you count OMORI (SUNNY’S dream alter ego) going around and protecting the truth by pretending everything is alright, then that kinda fits the heart bill as well. We could additionally go a little deeper by bringing up Sweetheart and the fact that the dreamworld is personal and important to SUNNY, since everyone in that world was either people in real life when they were still young or mascots from games and comics SUNNY knows of.
Kind of breath, since a part of the aspect includes detachment from the world... since... y’know, SUNNY HASN’T LEFT HIS HOUSE IN FOUR YEARS.
And kind of rage, since anger is one of the emotions the play a role in battles, and that a part of rage is that its contrivance is meant to make us see through the illusion of the fiction and focus on its flaws instead. This can be applied to how quickly the dreamworld falls apart as the game progresses, breaking the harmony time and time again, and constantly reminding us that everything is not as it seems.
Although these aspects could all be used to describe ORI, I still kinda see hope as the main aspect.
Now for the next point, why in the world would I think ORI to be a prince of all classes (Especially considering Homsestuck’s canon Prince of Hope)??? Well, I’ve already describes what hope is and how it relates to the dreamworld and its purpose, and then I’m gonna bring up what a prince (Alongside its passive counterpart, the bard) does; they destroy.
Princes are ones who destroys their aspect, or destroys through their aspect for themselves. As one of the most active classes, it can be stressfull for them to adopt passive roles, and tend to dominate the plot with the sheer impact of their actions.  Royals (princes and bards) are those concerned with aristocracy, nobility, and the great figures who shape society, and due to that, share a focus on birth-rights and legacies. Royals are often intensly devout to the cause they believe in and the people they love and are not afraid to fight for what they believe is right.  They tear down what’s old and stagnant to allow the flourishing of the new and are often formidable attackers, but also effective debuffers, as they remove their aspect from reality or wear down their enemy through its use. However, their reverence for high-class court society can make them judgmental or arrogant, and their greatest challenge is to resist the ego that would convince them that they’re above others.
The main reason I chose the Prince class for ORI is because they can destroy their aspect, and in this case, I will their aspect, being WHITE SPACE/the DREAM WORLD. As mentioned countless times earlier, WHITE SPACE is SUNNY’S safe place and their protection from the truth or what really happened, but as the game progresses, the player’s actions and OMORI’s reaction to anything that would reveal the truth breaks the illusion of the DREAM WORLD, before eventually, destroying it althogether in the end and (if you managed to figure out the hangman’s game) uncover the truth in the form of a broken realm known as BLACK SPACE. Additionally, the entirety of HEAD SPACE (WHITE and BLACK) was created by the game’s protagonist, which would already put them (SUNNY/OMORI) in an important position. If we want to expand on the whole aristocracy-nobility thing, we could bring up the fact that SWEETHEART is... I don’t really know what she is, but she’s super popular, rich, and owns a castle in the DREAM WORLD, and that CAPTAIN SPACEBOY/FRIEND is a well-known space pirate, and MR JAWSUM who is the owner of this hotel-resort thing. The fighting part of the Royals’ description easily fits ORI, since it is an RPG game. I could keep giving reasons as to why I think ORI would be a prince, and several other alternatives I thought would fit, but this post is already really long :’DD So the last thing I wanted to say about this was that the reason I thought ORI would be a prince, and not a bard, was mainly because of the prince’s activness and how as the game goes on, OMORI grows stronger before the final battle of the game turns into a struggle for power between SUNNY and OMORI.
Anywho, this is my really long explenation of why I would think ORI (My Fandomstuck interperetation of OMORI) would be a Prince of Hope! At one point, I did contemplate the idea of them being a witch, but then I felt as if that would have suited SUNNY more as an individual.
So yeah, that’s basically it and I’m gonna make another post later about all the other stuff afterwards, and to finish this post off, here is a picture I made of ORI using Gacha Club uwu (Cuz I have no drawings prepared ;w;)

Rank: 10/10
Tumblr media
PREMISE
flashback to 6-8 years ago (because the OP here can’t remember lol): it’s desk selection day in qiao yi’s classroom! a very dramatic moment for all high schoolers, qia yi has to select who she sits next to. because she’s at the bottom of the class ranking, she gets last pick, which essentially narrows down her choices to that creepy kid who writes love poetry to every female student in the class and yan mo, the scary genius student who has placed 1st in their class since...forever.
taking a gamble, qiao yi goes with yan mo. yan mo eventually agrees to tutoring qiao yi outside of class and they become friends. then...friends? if you know what i mean. it’s very sweet and cute. only problem is that yan mo is both a genius and from a Family of Means, and so is already planning on attending cambridge (yeah, fucking cambridge) after graduation. not wanting to separate, yan mo asks qiao yi to come with him and she agrees to study hard so she can get accepted to a university in the UK, too.
but then, well, bad shit happened. 
qiao yi ended up staying in their home town, yan mo left for cambridge, and we got two v heartbroken teenagers on our hands.
4 years later, yan mo returns after studying in the uk, and by chance they end up bumping into each other. angry because qiao yi hurt him, yan mo puts up an ALOOF AND COLD AND I DONT CARE AT ALL front that she sadly buys. but after he leaves for the big city to pursue a business opportunity, qiao yi harnesses some amazing big dick energy to go after him, in a sort of inverse DONT LET HER GET ON THAT PLANE! move. very abba. 
the plot bounces between their (and their friends’) high school years, their lives as reunited adults, and their future lives as married folks. i love it very, very much.
MAIN CHARACTERS
zhao qiao yi
Tumblr media
as a high schooler, qiao yi was a quiet girl with low self-esteem, who consistently ranked at the bottom of her class and was always attempting to retreat into her school tracksuit like a turtle. despite this, qiao yi has some solid friends and is always kind if somewhat shy or uncomfortable in certain situations. as a adult, qiao yi works as a television producer and is clearly more confident. 
she buys truly awful graphic t-shirts as thank you gifts that one feels obligated to wear. falls for scams easily. will help you fold 1000 paper stars for your boyfriend even if she hates your boyfriend because she’s ride or die like that. look at how cute she is no one is allowed to be mean to someone as cute as this.
yan mo / “frank”
Tumblr media
if you liked se hee in because this is my first life, you’re in luck because here is a 10% angrier version. at first, yan mo seems cold, aloof, snobbish, pretentious, arrogant...
okay, but he’s ALSO got a lot of feelings and will help people out. well, at the start of the show, he’ll help two people out. but that expands to like 10. so, progress! in high school, he falls for qiao yi in the typical Cannot Spit It Out fashion, buying her sentimental cans of coke, PUTTING IN ONE EARBUD SO SHE CAN LISTEN TO THE BEATLES WITH HIM, feeling Weird about her tying his tie, and single-handedly ruining a for-profit afterschool tutoring business in about 30 seconds, because they weren’t teaching qiao yi anything, and he knew he could do it better. tbh he completely fucking destroys a lot of things and people in under a minute. #ruthless
he’s very protective of qiao yi and rather than explain it, here is a clip from the special episode where yan mo confronts another student who left a love confession meant for qiao yi in his desk by mistake (subtitles have to be selected under settings, but it’s subbed in english):
youtube
zhao guan chao
Tumblr media
zhao qiao yi’s twin brother, who has always placed 2nd in their classes after yan mo. despite his high grades, he comes off as a laidback teen heartthrob and has a reputation for being a flake and a playboy. BUT he’s legit a chill dude and clearly popular for a reason--he gets along with (almost) everyone. he loves his sister and is extremely protective of her, especially since she’s so shy and has low self-esteem for Reasons That Will Be Explained in the Tragic Backstory. he’s such a good brother. the best brother. also looks out for qiao yi’s best friend, wu yi. understands the value of shoes.
hao wu yi
Tumblr media
qiao yi’s best friend, and another classmate of The Crew. i say this with so, so much love, but she’s got a lot of chaotic dumbass energy. struggling along the bottom ranks with qiao yi during high school. she has the worst taste in men as a teenager, falling for the guy who literally bullied her in like. ep 2. thankfully she’s got qiao yi and guanchao.
the trio are close, and that doesn’t change as they grow up. wu yi ends up becoming a novelist who writes pop and steamy romance novels and has a significant teenage girl fanbase. it’s amazing. 
fei da chuan
Tumblr media
my boy. another classmate, he, qiao yi, and wu yi make up the official Dumbass Trio of their high school class and have adorable adventures + solidarity in it. he’s also yan mo’s uncle. somehow. because rich people families are wild. while he’s got a place to live, he more often than not crashes at yan mo’s, who Does Not Like It. but da chuan does not notice or care. 
abrasive but 100% sincere about everything and toward everyone. people will think he’s an asshole or a gangster but then he’s secretly feeding abandoned kittens in the corner or something. as an adult, has the best business casual outfits. serves as a big brother figure to a lot of people, but qiao yi in particular. cannot, cannot fucking do math.
SUPPORTING
“alicia” / cheng youmei. an old family friend of yan mo’s who is very posh and rich and dignified. studied abroad with him at cambridge, and is cold toward qiao yi after arriving back in china. cosplays B)
teacher gao. everyone’s high school teacher who later owns a bar that seems to be there only for dispensing advice. seriously. there is no way this bar is economically sound as the only customers you ever see are gao’s students coming in one at a time for Wisdom and you never see them pay for anything. also the bar has no fucking roof and is directly above traintracks. i have hang-ups about this bar
lin shu. yan mo’s mother. very sweet and pretty and a ballernia turned program director. is almost never home but clearly loves her son. du chaun’s sister. somehow.
zhao suyin. qiao yi and guan chao’s mother. one of her kinks is roleplaying condor heroes characters? okay okay okay
tian weimin. qiao yi and guan chao’s stepfather who works as police officer. best dad award. he’s so sweet and corny and peak dad humor. he loves them kids & they love him back
grandpa. yan mo’s dog in high school. a very old basset hound with sad eyes:
Tumblr media
dollar or d. i cant tell you anything about him, other than he used to be a stray and yan mo says he’s ugly, which, rude.
Tumblr media
DRAWBACKS
plot...hm. there’s SOME plot, but this is about characters + romance + friendship + family. if you’re looking for scheming mothers-in-law or tragic car accidents or secret destinies this isn’t the one for you. similar in vibe to Reply 1988 (they even watch the show in the show :’D / make references to it)
OKAY SO every plot summary i’ve seen says that yan mo is in a relationship with someone else when he gets back to china. no he is not. i say this because it was a huge turn off for me/initially put me off watching the series. he is definitely a one-and-only type. there’s no cheating in this show. lmao, hell, neither of the mains are even interested in anyone else but each other
i liked du chuan and his love interest a lot, but they definitely didn’t get as much screen time as the others
while it’s clear qiao yi + yan mo are the mains, another couple gets a lot of screen time as well. this might be a skip if you don’t like multiple couples/secondary relationships in a show
i surprisingly enjoyed the high school storyline a lot more than the adult one? which is super weird for me, but idk i was sad when it was over because it was so cute.
some...weird technical decisions. every once in a while, the camera will have like a nostalgia filter and then it disappears and then the edges get a bit blurry and idk it feels very film school 101 to show that what’s on screen is a ~memory. the soundtrack/music is sometimes also too loud--to the point where it can drown out the actors (particularly janice wu in the high school arc, since qiao yi is soft-spoken)
REASONS TO WATCH
the lead actors (janice wu + zhang yujian) are legit two of my favorites and they have great/easy chemistry. all the actors are amazing. everyone’s loveable
SIBLING GOALS the zhao twins are amazing and they’re both each other’s biggest fans. gaunchao had some really heartwarming brother moments
i love love lmao. this spoke to a lot of my favorite dynamics: exes reunited/having to work together, childhood sweethearts reuniting as adults, “gangster” and princess, childhood friends turned lovers, bickering couples, cold man who actually has a lot of feelings, lots of people being overprotective, idk. everything was just great. 0 complaints on any of the ships.
i genuinely liked every character other than that one piece of shit poppa zhao. even alicia, who’s put into the stereotypical rich bitch role, was actually really fun and subverted a lot of expectations for this trope
it’s just. real cute y’all. probably my favorite cdrama and definitely in my top 10 (maybe 5?) dramas overall.
FINAL THOUGHTS
i love them ;;

———  BASICS! ♡
(PEN)NAME! ♡     lou
PRONOUNS! ♡     he / they
ZODIAC SIGN! ♡     virgo moon, taurus moon, leo rising.
TAKEN OR SINGLE! ♡     single 😼
———  THREE  FACTS! ♡
1! ♡    i am SUPER into making lists. i don’t know if it’s because i’m autistic, have ADHD, or because i’m a virgo – probably all three? – but i literally love making lists and spreadsheets. i also love organizing and sorting stuff. i will find a reason to make a list for literally just about anything. right now, i’m working on tackling this list of the shows i want to watch.
2! ♡     i can make my tongue form into a clover (three-sided) which is probably gross and i won’t embed a picture here, but showing it off has gotten me past at least 2 different forms of hazing so i feel like it’s worth mentioning at the very least.
3! ♡    most of you likely know that one of my special interests is history, specifically working class interpretations/tellings of history. i’m always looking to learn and educate myself more, but i can spew off a bunch of obscure facts about most points of american history which is... a lot. i spent 3 years in uni for history and almost got my certificate in queer studies before i dropped out and i might change my course of study now that i’m back in uni, but i now consequently own an obscene amount of books on imperial america. i may not shut up if asked about post/911 history or anything having to do with the bush presidency, or the war in vietnam/cambodia/laos. i’m sorry to anyone whose dm’s ive unleashed in before, lmfao. because of all of this, i feel like i enjoy writing essays and am better at academic writing than prose, which gives me a complex about my prose being too dry and not poetic enough so, fun times.
———  EXPERIENCE! ♡
PLATFORMS USED! ♡   at the moment, i use tumblr and discord, and i sparsely use dreamwidth. before, i’ve used facebook and livejournal, and occasionally youtube, which is how i got into roleplay about 10 years ago.
———  MUSE  PREFERENCE! ♡
GENDER! ♡  i’ve always gravitated toward writing men and i was not self-aware enough to know my discomfort in writing women has always had to do with projecting my personal Butch Gender Envy and my own discomfort with societal notions of womanhood – however, now i can write any gender. at this point, i tend to be drawn toward nb/trans muses. 
LEAST FAVOURITE FACE(S)! ♡    i don’t HATE any faces i guess, but i dislike fc’s that are super popular or obviously the very problematic ones. the rpc tends to cycle through a favorite face 1-2 times a year. like semi-related, i guess, but: never forget the 2016-2017 e/iza g/onzales fixation, and the amber heard fixation that i feel like only recently ended but began circa 2012. and yes, ive been on this website for WAY too long.
MULTI OR SINGLE! ♡    i’m fine with interacting with either! for myself, i have frank and a multi-muse, which is how i tend to operate. i cannot operate more than 1-2 blogs at once, especially single muse blogs.
———  FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡    
FLUFF:    i love fluff! but it’s not all i enjoy. a big issue i’ve had is constantly perpetuating slice-of-life content with little plot. i love slice-of-life and fluff a whole lot but i need plot and dynamic building to back it up (more so dynamics, as i care more about character relationships than plot, usually, but point stil applies). i feel like a lot of people misconceive frank to be an overly soft, fluffy person – which frank definitely can be, but i’m kind of uncomfortable with the way he’s constantly written in fanfic to be a mindlessly loyal himbo (namely to karen bc k.astle fans are Like That) and the way his old-fashioned (and subsequently hypermasculine and condescending lmfao) nature is constantly lauded instead of questioned. he's not a great person lmao. also, i feel like this plays into people writing and portraying frank as straight in so much of the fic i read, which i dislike. 
ANGST:    i LOVE angst, but i don’t like trauma/torture porn. i like angst when it also props up plot and dynamics, but trauma porn? hate it. i feel like an issue that i have with angsty plots is that it tends to occasionally turn into a dynamic revolving my muse taking care of another person’s, or vice-versa (which ive ... tried to work, but still, i can be guilty of it!). i also specifically fucking hate (usually very graphic) immediate post-sexual assault/rape plots that have no basis in canon, which is such a specific thing to rip on but i’ve seen it more than once lmao and it makes me so uncomfortable. please stop torturing your muses for no reason. i feel like i’ve worked on doing that myself, and yes i am aware that the punisher is the hugest example of an edgelord, but uh.... please, i’m begging. 
SMUT:    ii feel like i enjoy writing smut but not just for smut’s sake. not too into pwp, but sometimes i can be. like what i’ve said about fluff and angst, it just depends! 
PLOT / MEMES! ♡    i LOVE both. i feel like memes at this point work better than starters for me. i also enjoy plotting a lot, which for me includes going back and forth about our muses, sending quotes/pictures/etc as inspo, etc. i enjoy that a lot about writing and it’s a huge reason why i love roleplaying - i just love collaborative storytelling. i have a very bad habit of dropping dm’s because my executive dysfunction is Bad and also i can get easily overwhelmed if too many people talk to me but just know i love both.
tagged by :  @vylingas thank you ♡ tagging :  @transforms, @bulletballet, @hammurabicomplex, @streetknown, @errorware, anyone who wants to do it!

I've been out of this life for a while, so I need to catch up. 1) ask with 35 questions 13, 26, and, of course, 35. I am glad that you meet the questions with answer options like the last one. And a huge thank to the restriction of words in ask, so I have to send everything separately.
Welcome back! I hope you’ve been doing okay, I’m happy to see you in my inbox again.
Let’s get right to it! For this ask meme!
13. First fandom you ever wrote for?
That would be Durarara! I started writing for it when I was like 13 lmaooo, that was still back when FanFiction was main fic hub and not AO3. All my fics back then were SO EDGY like classic 13yr old stuff. But I do have fond memories of it. I mostly did Izaya/shizaya related stuff but I also did some self-insert/oc fics too and everyone there was so nice. I even made a friend there who’s responsible for getting me into roleplaying, lmao I met them through a wish fulfilment/self-insert fic. I always think about how grateful I am to people on fanfiction, I got a lot of reviews on my fics even tho they weren’t that good and I never once got a negative comment only nice ones. So it’s really them I have to thank for gaining confidence in my writing and continuing to do it to this day, hopefully a little better then back then. I still have my old fanfiction account but I’m never going to share with anyone because….it’s super embarrassing I was so young (⊙_⊙). But I do have very fond memories of it, I’m glad I was in that fandom in that time, humble beginnings but lots of nice memories.
26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?
 Hmmm I don’t think there’s anything I’ve been scared to try but, and this is gonna sound weird, I really wanna write an omegaverse fic one day. And it’s not even for the sex like I don’t mind sex but I’m not super into writing it and I almost never write it in plot focused fics cuz….it just aint my thing. There’s sex in Ignite me which I wrote with a friend who wanted to include it but most I’ve ever done in my fics is kinda implied in Red String of Death. I’m…..getting way off topic. Anyway while I get omegaverse is like born for kink, that’s not what I’m really interested in. What I’m interested in is the world building and primarily pack dynamics. Think about it! There’s alphas n betas n omegas but most ppl just use A and O like :/ the fuck are betas there for. Like I know this is cuz most ppl are using it for sex and most ppl are monogamous and most ppl are just using it as shorthand for dom n sub but :///// my poly ass is asking for betas. You don’t just have three genders without a reason, betas would have a role in society and more importantly a role in family structure. In our society the most common pair structure is male x female but in theirs it wouldn’t be alpha x omega it would be alpha x beta x omega. So what does that mean for other pairings. Is alpha x omega considered unbalanced, deviant? Who takes what role in the household, wouldn’t people challenge those roles? Would there be trans alpha/betas/omegas, what the fuck is gender even in this society? Would having multiple secondary genders of the same kind in one relationship be considered weird, if so which would be more accepted and which less? I wanna know! So yeah not really scared of it as much as trying to figure out the right fandom and the right characters to do this on. I wanna write a sexless omegaverse fics focused on pack structure :3
35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!
 I feel like I talked a lot already lmaooo I needed to get a good rant out of my system apparently. Here’s another fun thing I’ve been thinking about recently. Winter is my favorite season to write atmosphere wise. The entire plot of Call of the Wild happens in winter while in Red String of Death not only does dabihawks die in winter for the first time there is also a moment later where I use incoming cold to set atmosphere for a quieter scene. Winter is so useful! It can be turned into so many things think about it! Like if you want an angry, frenzied atmosphere, snowstorms are right there, biting chill, completely unable to see from snow flying everywhere. Happy atmosphere? Think about children going out to play in the snow, the pure white fluffy one early in the morning, still fresh and easy to play with. Somber, quiet, longing atmosphere? There will never be anything more quiet then a winter night, when the snow is muffling all sound, dark sky above and endless fields of white bellow. I love winter atmospheres!

sf9 as doms or subs;
warnings; nsfw, mentions of multiple kinks 
a/n; this is just a lil something while i use the free time i have to make a bunch of stuff for my drafts so i don’t have to leave u all in a drought like this again ! for this reason, i’m re-opening my requests again for a lil while so i can have more requests to choose from !! 
inseong; 
Tumblr media
overall; 
ah the enigma
honestly? probably a dom
but he has switch tendencies……
so maybe i’m wrong
anyway the worst thing about inseong is that he’d be really confident even before you slept w him for the first time
like he doesn’t really have any worry because he knows he’s good in bed :///
but ur just like “haha ok sure i guess”
then when you first sleep with him you’re like…ok….ok. message received.
i feel like inseong is really in-tune with other people just in general
and as he always likes to remind everyone, hE’s VeRy iNtElLiGeNt
so he’d always pay special attention to what you’re reacting to
having said that he’s probably into experimentation
overall. idk whether he’d even really have a placement on the dom/sub line
he’d kinda just go with whatever both of you was feeling right at the moment
but i think, in conclusion, he’s more inclined to be dominant
kinks; 
honestly? who knows
i know these are My Brand but inseong is just so odd
probably wants to try all of them though
except! i really don’t think he’d be interested in any *extreme* ones
but if you were i think he’d try them out just for the experience
if he had main ones i think it’d probably be
overstimulation (giving)
mocking. n i don’t mean degrading i just mean he’d straight up mock you sometimes
punishments;
if he had any i feel like he’d try and keep it creative
or at least he’d try and keep you on ur toes with them
he honestly just wants to do ones that you’re still gonna get off to
like he would pay such close attention to which kinks you reacted to more
so he’d be like “what if i used one of your favourite kinks as a punishment. haha forget it. unless…”
so if you liked overstimulation. that’s what ur getting!
tbh i feel like any punishment that’s not being done directly for you just wouldn’t do it for him  
aftercare;
he’s definitely gonna wanna snuggle
n maybe give you a couple smooches
but he’s so cute :(( he’d probably wanna go all out if either of you had tried out a new kink
if he’s taking care of you, he gets you food, he gets you a drink, he’d probably wash ur hair for you if you needed him to
(a big thing for him would probably be you both being clean before going to sleep so :// good luck if ur lazy)
if he’s being taken care of, he’d just wanna have a drink n be cuddled. like he is officially baby and just wants to sleep and do nothing else
youngbin; 
Tumblr media
overall; 
you know what it is!
he’s a dom. that’s it. that’s the tweet
he just exudes dom energy
but i think he’d mostly be a soft dom :)
just wants to take care of you n make you feel good !!
i don’t really think he’d be too pressed if you wanted to top him though
as long as he knew he was still the one making you feel good he doesn’t care how it’s happening lmao
always trying to control the pace no matter what
mfing laughs when you push his hands away
even when ‘s trying to be a cool, hard dom he can’t but go ( ̄ε ̄ʃƪ)whenever you do something cute
my main point. even when he is being rougher or more dominant he’s a Soft Boy at heart and you could literally always get around him
kinks;
he loves hand holding bitch that’s his brand
neck kisses (receiving)
lowkey, but marking (giving)
not really a kink but he loves holding you up against a wall just to flex
i think he’d wanna have gentle n sweet vanilla sex sometimes |( ̄3 ̄)|
praise!!!! compliments!!! hyping each other up for literally nothing!!!
light choking (giving)
punishments; 
honestly if you ever actually annoyed him enough for him to feel like he had to
it’d just be something he already knew you liked lol
he just genuinely doesn’t see a point in doing something that won’t get you off?? idk
if you really, really liked spanking he’d do it but honestly?? he doesn’t see it as a punishment
to him it’s just indulging one of ur kinks lmao
but he’d probably use overstimulation most of the time tbh
because then he gets to do his favourite thing ever – get you off multiple times with an easy excuse!!!!!!
doesn’t really like edging or orgasm denial because :// what’s in it for you
aftercare;
mwah you’re his baby!
would tuck you into bed if you wanted him to
gives you lil kisses and praises you
wants you both to just go straight to sleep
but he’d probably wanna go shower so if ur gonna go to sleep it’s gotta be without him until he’s clean again ://
(he doesn’t really like that though because he loves cuddling w you)  
dawon; 
Tumblr media
overall; 
the most chaotic of the switches
says he leans more towards dom but is that really true?
it’d probably be pretty clear cut
but he’s also more lazy so sometimes he’s not into having proper roles
or sometimes he just wants to have giggly sex where he doesn’t need to think abt it too deeply
but when he’s a dom, he’s going for it!
probably more of a crackhead dom than a big tough mean one or even a (✿ヘᴥヘ) soft dom
like that meme of;
sub: does something they’re not supposed to do
dom: when will you learn?????!!!!! that your actions have cOnSeQuEnCeS????!!!!!
yeah that’s just how he’d be
but as a sub he’d just constantly deny that he was, indeed, a sub
you could be all sexy n say something like “who’s in charge here?”
and he’d just be like “me lol”
is crackhead sub a thing bc he’d be that too
kinks; 
body worship (receiving)
mocking (giving)
teasing !!! (giving and receiving)
restraining (giving)
begging (receiving)
biting (giving and receiving)
punishments; 
he’s not really into them too much
wouldn’t really have punishments for you unless you particularly wanted him to
but no punishments would go on for very long because he’s a lil impatient
but if you wanted to punish him it’d have to be something like overstimulation because he’s sEnSiTiVe
aftercare;
just wants 2 sleep
n maybe be the little spoon for once. just for comfort
gives you lil kisses
and mumbles praises that you can’t actually hear
then he would just fall asleep lmao he’s Sleepy
juho; 
Tumblr media
overall;
big dom energy
i’m not too sure he’d ever particularly wanna sub but sometimes he’d be cool with you going on top
as long as he was still in charge of the pace and everything
but overall he’s quite stoic as a dom
mostly because he doesn’t know how to react but that’s not the point
he communicates with you mostly through Looks
and you’ll have to learn the further you get into dating him what each look means
but mostly he has a vague outline of rules for you that you’d kinda pick up pretty quickly
including a big thing for him would be: if u tease him in public he is now, legally, allowed to fist fight you in the parking lot
i think if anyone looked closer to you both they’d probably be able to see the dynamic he’s not subtle
but yeah in general i’d probably say he’s a lazy dom
kinks;
vocal command!!!!!! (giving)
choking (giving)
restraining (giving)
begging (receiving)
degrading (giving)
having his fingers in ur mouth
oral (receiving)
dirty talk (giving)
mocking (giving)
punishments; 
he’s a big fan of the old classics
mostly spanking because idk it indulges the pain kink he doesn’t wanna own up to having
he’d make you count each one
gets soft if you thank him
he thinks orgasm denial’s fun too but mostly just because it makes him feel like a Super Cool dom getting to have that much power
he doesn’t mind overstimulation but he’d rather use it as a reward than a punishment you know? he just doesn’t see how that could be anything other than good for you  
aftercare;
he’d be very organised
has a drink ready for you
probably wants you to shower or something but understands if you don’t want to
really he just wants to make sure you’re feeling good
as much as it flusters him he’d still wanna talk about what you liked/didn’t like especially earlier on in the relationship
will actually tuck you into bed if that’s what you want him to do
he’d probably be quite tired but if you wanted to stay up he would as well
mumbles that he loves you just as you’re starting to fall asleep  
jaeyoon;
Tumblr media
overall;
if he breathes, he’s a thot!
but yes that is his placement on the dom/switch/sub line
he really isn’t too bothered about who’s doing which
he wants to try everything once
and if that means he’s being the sub, that’s fine with him!!!!
if it means he’s being the dom, that’s also fine with him!!!!
i think he’d be more difficult to handle as a sub because he wouldn’t ever necessarily feel like a sub
so he’d kinda just be in the sub position so he gets to have those experiences
which means you can’t expect him to react very much to you attempting to Actually Dom him
i feel like it would be a similar situation if he was being the dom
but he just slips more naturally into a dominant role (see: stage presence) so he’d be more comfortable that way  
kinks;
hm. his top ones would be
biting (giving and receiving)
teasing (giving and receiving)
praise (giving)
body worship (giving and receiving)
roleplay
sensation play (giving and receiving)  
bondage (giving and receiving)
lingerie!! (on you)
punishments;
none for either of you!!
aftercare;
his favourite form of aftercare is talking
not about your day or his day because you both already know that
because he’d get quite clingy after sex
so he’d probably wanna move to the living room where he’d left drinks out for you both
and then you would have to Discuss different topics he’d bring up
and that could go from “do you think the dinosaurs turned into aquatic creatures yes or no” to “i have found an unsolved crime case and today we will be solving it”  
rowoon;
Tumblr media
overall;
i’d say he’s more inclined to be the dom
but honestly if you wanted to be the dom he’s not gonna be against it
his natural reaction is just to try and take care of you lmao
which means if you’ve got a pain kink he’s gonna get into an internal struggle
because on the one hand his biggest goal is to indulge as many of your kinks as possible
but then he’s :// because he’s literally terrified of hurting you
as a dom he’s probably very lenient and lets you get away with practically everything
he just thinks you’re so cute that nothing you do really bothers him lol
you could do something he directly told you not to do and he’d just be like “omg i can’t believe you did that :// anyway which kink am i indulging tonight”  
kinks;
is getting you off a kink? because he has it
praise (giving)
hand holding
love
oral (giving)
overstimulation (giving)
idk you getting whiny and desperate is a big thing for him
he’s probably got a size kink too man have you seen how Big he is
punishments;
he’s the type to say he’s using overstimulation as a punishments when he’s really just doing it because he’s got a kink for it
honestly very rarely punishes you
if you got him mad enough for him to spank you you’d probably have to have been annoying for a long time
aftercare;
you’re baby.
he’d do everything for you
gets you a drink, gets you something to eat, gets you clean clothes
is up to do anything you want to do
whether that’s taking a shower with you, changing the sheets while you took a shower, even if it was just making sure you had a drink and a warm blanket
he’d do it!!!
if you wanted to stay up, he’s prepared to sit up even if he’s falling asleep every time he blinks
if you wanted to go to sleep (he’s grateful) he’d let you lie on his chest and he’d make sure to stay awake until he knew you were asleep first
taeyang;
Tumblr media
overall;
i know everyone sees him as a sub but. he’s a switch
i see him as one of the kinkier/more experimental members so i think it’d come naturally to him
he likes being the sub because he gets to feel cute and do less work
and he likes being the dom because he gets to feel cool and see you look cute
unlike the other switches in sf9, i think he probably gets quite into both positions pretty easily
and he goes all out for both of them
as a sub i think he’d be more on the well-behaved cute side of things
as a dom he’d just do everything he could to look Hot and make you flustered. that’s his brand baby
either way i think it’d be quite intense with taeyang
also i know this is off topic but he’s the best at oral in sf9. i don’t make the rules i just enforce them
kinks; 
choking (receiving)
making out. is that a kink? doesn’t matter he has it
overstimulation (giving)
orgasm denial (receiving)
teasing (giving and receiving)
praise (receiving)
marking (giving)
dirty talk (receiving)
eye contact
sensation play (giving and receiving)
temperature play (giving and receiving)
light pain (receiving)
lingerie (on either of you)
punishments;
if he was punishing you it’d be all about overstimulation
because it’s a big kink of his + technically a punishment so it’s a win-win situation
for himself i think you’d have to go with something like overstimulation as well
because if u spank him it’s just gonna indulge his pain kink and if u deny his orgasms it’s just gonna indulge that kink for him
but! he doesn’t particularly like orgasm denial so you’d have some luck there
aftercare;
would just wanna hold your hand and cling to you if you tried to move around and do stuff for him
if he’d been the dom he’d just be very attentive with you and not leave you alone lmao
depending on what you’d been doing he’d might make you take a shower with him
but if it’d been more chill he’d be happy to just go straight to sleep
if you wanted to stay up, he’d just come to wherever you were and put his head in your lap so he could go to sleep if he wanted to and still be with you
hwiyoung;
Tumblr media
overall;
another switch!
not that he’d ever admit that he’d always just say “i’m a soft dom!!! never have i ever been a sub”
but he’s a liar so who cares
as a sub i don’t think he’d necessarily be extremely submissive i just think he’d find it very Hot when you took charge with him
as a dom i think it would take him quite a while for him to grow into the idea of actually being dominant rather than just being on top
as he gets more confident in your relationship he’ll get more comfortable in both positions
he’d kinda fall into the role of being a dom pretty easily because he’d just view it as taking care of you in a sense
but then again. he just really likes when you top him. he doesn’t really have an explanation for it other than “it’s hot :)”
kinks;
light choking (giving and receiving)
hair pulling (receiving)
finger sucking (giving and receiving)
praise (giving and receiving)  
body worship (giving)
oral (giving and receiving)
overstimulation (giving)
punishments;
he likes spanking but mostly because he thinks it’s hot
he’d use it as a punishment (only when he got more comfortable with being dominant) but honestly. he’s winning here too
i think he’d probably consider bondage a punishment for himself
because then he doesn’t get to touch you which is :///
and being blindfolded for him is a big downer because then he doesn’t get to even see you :///
aftercare;
he kinda. doesn’t really care about it if you made a mess
very much wants to relax
maybe not even sleep but he just wants a little while to recover lol
gets quite clingy
wants a lot of kisses
which would usually turn into a makeout session
and then you’d have round two because he has no self-control
and then maybe after that he’d wanna sleep
i think it would mostly depend on whether he was the dom or sub
if he was the sub he’s gonna want everything done for him lol
if he was the dom he’s gonna want to do everything for you
chani;
Tumblr media
overall;
another enigma
probably more of a dom just because he’s impatient and likes having things happen on his terms
he wouldn’t really mind you being the dom as long as you did what he wanted you to do
by that i mean he has a big no for teasing
and for being mocked?? if you make fun of him even once he’s gonna go crazy go stupid
he’s quite lazy so he’d prefer to have you on top most of the time
but he’d always have his hands on your hips controlling the pace because he likes to know you can’t just stop or slow down to tease him at any point
very quick to get bitter if you try and tease him public or anything along those lines
he doesn’t really get too into the dom/sub thing he just kinda does what he does
only very occasionally would he be rough (see: when he can be bothered) 
kinks;
choking (giving)
oral (receiving)
light degrading (giving)
he likes hand holding but ur not allowed to tell anyone
dry humping
praise (receiving)
light restraining (giving)
punishments;
he’s not too into punishments
sometimes if you annoyed him he’d overstimulate you
or if you’d teased him public he’d probably deny your orgasms for so long you’d think he was never gonna let you get off at all
instead of punishments i see him being more of the type who’s rough with you when he’s annoyed
aftercare;
he clocks out man
he’s falling asleep as soon as you’re done
would pull you to his chest n press a few small kisses to your forehead
if he’d been particularly rough or used any degrading he’d mumble a few quiet praises and a few i love you’s
doesn’t really wanna move at all but he will if you particularly want to
would just lie in your lap and go to sleep if you made him stay up with you

Dear Yuletide Author
hello and thank you for signing up for yuletide, i hope you have fun during the challenge!
i ramble a lot so my letter is under a readmore (i put everything in one post so you don’t have to juggle links around). obviously you don’t have to follow any of the things i put in here, but hopefully this will help you out!
general things i like
PINING. I’M SUCH A SLUT FOR PINING ALL THE PINING ULTRA PINING SUPER PINING. i have SO MUCH FUN reading about idiots in love who aren’t together yet and i far prefer it to fics with already established relationships. this is also applicable to when they know the other is in love with them but they can’t act on it for some reason.
i’m down for either gen or romantic!! what really does it for me is the developing relationship, platonic or otherwise, and the character dynamics and interactions and all the little moments in between. stuff like developing trust and finding kinship and growing respect for the other and subconsciously learning to lean on the other over anyone else is far more important for me than any kissing will ever be (though kissing is also nice if you wanna go down that route lmao)
i love love LOVE enemies/rivals-?to-friends?-to-lovers and bickering pairs in general, as you can probably tell by my choice in character! it’s so much fun and it gives us so many opportunities for character and relationship developments :D
continuing from the above points, nothing kills me as much as characters that bicker all the time but in the end they rely on the other and go to each other before they go to anyone else, whether they realize it or not
i REALLY like the canon and characters for all the fandoms i picked, so sticking at least to their characterizations and the overall “tone” of canon is a huge plus!! “missing scenes” and “what if” canon-divergent situations are excellent, as are continuations from where canon left us! that being said, i also enjoy more conceptual AUs and i’ve put more details about those a little further below. rule of thumb is that i enjoy AUs where the focus remains more on the relationship itself and how it works on such a setting than on the worldbuilding for it.
fun tropes i enjoy (sorry, these are a bit romance-leaning but if you’re not into that they can probably be adapted somehow): fake dating, accidentally got roped into x and shenanigans of all sorts keep happening, misunderstood confessions, groundhog day au, one or both the characters having stupid levels of denial while technically in a relationship and just not realizing it like What Do You Mean We’re Dating??, that sorta thing.
TROPE SUBVERSION ALL THE WAY!
general things i dislike
kidfics. babyfics. next gen fics. pregnancy fics, or even pregnancy discussed in the fic is a major squick of mine. the one exception i make for kidfics is for petshop of horrors when it comes to chris and the pets, as they already belong in canon, but no babies or children otherwise please.
future fics in general, actually. what i enjoy is the relationship development, so huge time skips make me feel like we missed way too much. one exception to this is post-canon petshop of horrors, for obvious reasons.
i usually don’t like most angst stuff since it feels a bit gratuitous to me when it comes to most fandoms and characters. the one exception for this is psoh (see below if you’re picking this fandom - and wow psoh seems to be the exception to everything huh) or when it’s a more introspective sort of fic. as a result of this, i’d pass on most content with major character death, sexual abuse, self-harm, the like, though of course there are always exceptions to the rule and you’re free to write as you wish!
hard AUs are a bit ugh to me. by this i mean AUs that rely heavily on setting, such as high school AUs, harry potter AUs, that sort of thing. i DO however enjoy stuff like siren AUs and soulmate AUs, depending on the concept and on the fandom. more details in their own sections if you enjoy writing those!
i heavily dislike things involving cheating/infidelity, sickfics, and genderbending of any kind is a bit ehhhh for me, as are concepts such as ABO. hard pass on stuff like dysphoria and deep diving into most mental illnesses, too (with a possible exception for depression when it comes to psoh). 
script-based or roleplay fic is not really my preferred format, i really enjoy prose instead of nearly all dialogue!
if you’re going for nsfw
kinks
moderate sadomasochism, uncommon forms of bondage (plants, stuck with strange substance or in awkward position, the shadows from p&tf as restraints, etc), choking/breathplay, xenophilia and tentacles/alien genitals (shadowplay in p&tf, non-human genitals for the staryk lord, etc), moderate degradation, edging/desperation play, ladies topping and calling the shots, bloodplay/knifeplay, long hair/hair pulling (staryk lord, leon orcot), sharp nails/claws (staryk lord, charlotte la bouff, count d; miryem mandelstam having them is actually preferable to the staryk lord now that i think of it), lowkey cannibalism imagery (count d re:leon orcot)
squicks
scat, vomit, praise kink, daddy or baby kink, vore, forced feminization, pet play, gore, abuse, abo, anything involving pregnancy at all
--
PETSHOP OF HORRORS
i’m usually not very partial to angst but GODS does psoh throw that out of the window, so feel more than free to run with it if you wanna go down that route.  psoh is RIPE for angst. we got two people with abandonment and inadequacy issues: leon who decided to leave his whole life behind to chase someone who gave him life and then left and initially didn’t even bother to do it with any sort of goodbyes, and d who is supremely fucked up by his upbringing and had to push leon off the ark to continue his family’s mission and let drop one (1) single tear that he was not supposed to cry over a human. those fuckers. those idiots. i love them so much.
THAT BEING SAID, i also!!!! love slice of life shit for them!!!!!!!! GODS i love how much they bicker but then they turn around and the other is the person they rely on the most and who they trust implicitly above all others and how they keep roping each other into ridiculous shenanigans. neither of them are particularly communicative with a few rare exceptions, so there’s also a lot of room there for introspection and unspoken affection on both sides, which i LOVE. my son leon in particular is also super underestimated when it comes to his intelligence and tolerance for gay shit both in canon and fandom, and he performs ridiculous leaps of logic and instinct that somehow turn out to be right but that are super ???? for everyone else involved, and that’s always fun to see. hell, just another missing scene where leon brings d some cake and they banter fondly over tea is A++++ to me!!
nsfw???? bring it!!! this is the one fandom where you’re more than free to go super dark and kinky if you wanna, or if you wanna write tender loving reunion sex where d cries a little while leon is loving and disbelieving and so very careful that’s also excellent! i don’t have a particular preference on who tops either, it’s fun either way, but i tend to see leon more as a sub/masochist >u> i can also see it going a bit dark with those two, especially considering d and his kind (implied to eat human flesh and being predators more than once) so bloodplay and cannibalistic thoughts could be fun. re: d’s genitals (as are hotly debated in the fandom), i usually prefer either a dick or triple threat d, though some fun plant-man shenanigans also have their place here.
all in all, psoh is the most excellent genre triangle where i’d be super happy to receive anything on the slice-of-life/angst/smut corners! (also, slash is 3249823% acceptable if you couldn’t tell by my ranting, as is a hint of crack)
if you’re thinking going AU on this one, my suggestions are of slight universe alterations instead of major world AUs. examples could be soulmate AUs (trope subversion would be GREAT here, aka foreign script they didn’t initially recognize, or only Ds having soulmates while humans do not, or the same scenario as the last but leon DOES have it on his skin and just keeps it hidden because Normal Humans Don’t Have Birth Tattoos, or d never expected to have one because his kind is dead and yet when he pushes leon from the ark the soulmate bond is forged, etc), a different first meeting, or even missed connections when they did not know each other yet; something like papa being alive and brady bunch-ing it up with them and chris would also be both excellent and hilarious. epistolary form for those two is also fun! if you wanna go full universe AU, something like a vampire hunter leon could be very interesting >u>

SPINNING SILVER
WHERE DO I EVEN START. miryem and the staryk lord were my favourite part of the book; if the book was only their story i would have already been more than satisfied. the rest of the book is also excellent, but those two???? that story was far too great. enemies to allies to lovers is one of my favourite tropes, and this is one of the examples that just keeps proving me right. the slowly growing respect, the wariness when they both know what the other is capable of, the staryk lord getting hit with the hots for his wife when she manages the impossible and then miryem being unable to just let it go when he’s imprisoned and defeated. ACTUALLY lemme just grab that line of thought and bring up that moment when he was sorrowful and resigned when miryem didn’t argue further for the three rooms full of gold and he thought she would not succeed and that she would have to die for it. that, right there? those moments of renewed respect, those moments sudden longing for something they did not know they wanted? those are the things that kill me.
tonally, i love the sort of writing in canon too much to ask for anything different, though you’re by no means obliged to keep to it or to 1st person pov (i have a love-hate relationship with 1st person pov, ngl). missing moments from the novel or moments from the period of time they spent either courting or apart would be GREAT. for those two i actually don’t mind it too much if they’re already established, if it’s early on in the relationship when they’re still learning how to step around one another. the staryk lord flabbergasted or in awe of miryem is always Excellent(TM). bits of worldbuilding and staryk culture would be fun as applied to their relationship (such as the names thing, or courting habits, etc) as are AUs such as soulmates or alternate meetings and the like. if you’re wanting to go full universe AU, keeping some fairytale elements would be great!
if you’re going for nsfw? the name kink, holy shit that would be so goooood. the staryk lord being a bit of a masochist under miryem’s hands would also be great, and inhuman staryk genitals and erogenous zones/acts would be great to play with such as human body heat affecting them in different ways from normal, etc. bringing in his long hair would be a major plus. the build-up for the actual act is the best, so miryem and the staryk lord being super hot for each other while either denying it internally pre-relationship or being unable to go through with it post-relationship due to several factors (busy dealing with their people, no privacy, etc) would be EXCELLENT. so much fun can be had here!

PRINCESS AND THE FROG
i am 100% aware this is a weird-ass pairing but gods, the possibilities. it has so much potential. there are few things i like quite as much as a villain and a good person developing a strange sort of kinship with each other. this doesn’t have to mean in a romantic way, obviously! as i said, for me it’s the building understanding and reluctant respect that i really love, far more than the actual romance. 
ideas, ideas, ideas. i’m aware this is a rare relationship to either portray or ask for, so i’m gonna try to give some more concrete-ish ones for you to build up on if you have no clue as to how to approach this. we could have canonverse with charlotte dealing with the shadowman in some other matter while the main plot is occurring, making him feel somewhat guilty about the whole marriage plot with laurence-turned-naveen; cue introspection or an entirely different outcome. or a post-canon sort of hades&persephone plot, with charlotte curious despite herself and tempted to listen to a shadow/dead/whatever!dr facilier when she’s the only one that can hear him, or her being dragged Beneath as well in a freak accident and then charming him into helping her back to the surface/living world (very, veeeeery reluctantly on his part, at least at the start, he might have even be thinking of tricking her but then change his mind when the time comes to do it). i think dr facilier wouldn’t be sure how to deal with charlotte’s particular brand of personality and good humour, and it’d throw him off his rhythm a lot - that sort of thing is always super fun to write. 
soulmate au in canon would work pretty well, but with this pairing? FULL WORLD AU IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING. keeping to the shadowman sort of thing to her normal bougie self would be a major plus; it’s one of her charms. also, charlotte thinking that she wants one thing (her prince, for example) while keeping getting drawn to him time and time again could work on pretty much any era or setting. vice-versa for him, thinking he wants to be rid of her but coming to realize he’d actually miss her if she were to be gone. OR, charlotte deciding she wants this sullen manipulative bastard and manipulating HIM into taking her out and hanging out with her would be hilarious.
if you wanna do nsfw, i have only one major request: charlotte calling the shots/topping. i think this arrangement would be entirely in character for both of them (dr facilier would prob also enjoy having someone else do all the work lol) considering her go-getter attitude, but keeping in mind his manipulative personality i’d be more comfortable if she had some control over what was happening. ASIDE FROM THAT, dyou know what would be fun? a little darkness, and by that i mean consider dr facilier’s shadow joining in on the fun. shadows would also be an interesting sort of constraint. also i know i said charlotte calling the shots, but she can be constrained by the shadows while being amused by it or being used for it to happen (the latter case implying it’s not the first time that they’ve used it in bed play), or charlotte could team up with Shadow to do it to facilier instead. charlotte using her nails and facilier being a bit of a sub/masochist would also be pretty good!
(actually in general it’d be really fun if there was some complicity between charlotte and facilier’s shadow in general, regardless of nsfw or not. the shadow being wrapped around her little finger is an excellent concept, especially if facilier isn’t too fond of her just yet lmfao.) 
thank you for reading all my rambling, and i hope you have fun!

am i valid for url meme...
Send Me A URL and I’ll Respond With My Opinions… / accepting 
Roleplaying/Writing
My favorite muse(s) of theirs and why: Bamboo Rice will have a special place in my heart because I love big ol’ dorks whO WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE/THINGS THEY LOVE. And Bamboo was really the one I got to know and we were able to somewhat extend conversation about him :’D. 
My favorite interaction/thread of theirs: Any time Xander literally opens his mouth and everyone else has to reply like “NO” and he’s like “YES.” I really just love how your general interactions can literally terrorize multiple blogs/fandoms in one successful swoop, no matter which character it is. I only know so few of your characters but I can tell this is something that has happened frequently with the others.My thoughts on their unique characterization/interpretation of their muse(s): what do you mean tsun isn’t Bamboo’s writer? And Boston Lobster’s? And Xander’s?  Why am I being fed these lies? However, there was one thing I noticed that I adored and that was the fact you really brought in actual and plausible headcanons that make sense in relation to the character’s upbringing and what they have and may not have experienced. IE: I remember Bamboo being mentioned (by you) to be illiterate due to their surroundings and being deep in the forest. As strange as it sounds, people really don’t go that far down into detail and I appreciate it. My thoughts on their writing style as a whole: You know that meme where Gordon Ramsey says “finally, some good fucking food”?  That’s literally me when I see any of Tsun’s posts, IC or OOC. I just like reading their stuff and being intimated by the writing in a way that pushes to me to go back to my more serious writing times. Also don’t get me started on their meme ANSWERS, IM HONESTLY RECOVERING FROM SEVERAL ON XANDER’S BLOGS, DON’T @ ME IT READS LIKE POETRY - Situation(s)/Plot(s) I’d love to see their muse(s) in: HMMM… I would like to see Xander in an AU where he properly is a king of a land, even if it is through questionable means (which may be slightly OOC); I do think your Sengoku M. muses will have a god damn fun time in a deity-based AU. Lmao, and if you have doubles, you can always mimick the Evillous Chronicles series with like twins (Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Regret Message, etc.) because those are fun times :3ccccSomeone else I love seeing them interact with: @box-of-characters and @cirocchio ; no questions about that. No matter which character, it IS THE FUNNIEST THING TO ME. Anything else I want to say about their roleplaying: So how the hell does a gem like you stay hidden for so long? What’s your secret? Why keep hidden?? I’m going to have to hold you high in the air for folks to realize the quality that is you as a writer. 
If We Know Eachother
What I Think Are Their Best Qualities: Can deal with my bullshit, has the shitty sense of humor like me, and doesn’t find me annoying. Tsun just really knows how to get the dash working and chat with others, making a whole group experience that doesn’t exclude anyone. Tsun also takes heavy consideration and stuff when writing for characters and trying not to insert his midwestern twang in otherwise very regal mouths. Seriouly, though, I think his best qualities will alwas be the way they’re able to frame their characters’ emotions and always involve movement with them, making a whole scene play out. It isn’t stagnant, it’s always flowing, like a river.What I Think Are Their Strengths: Can laugh and tolerate my horrible fucking puns. It’s just super easy and comfortable to talk to you and get to know you! I say that not only are you an amiable personality, I really do say that at the end of the day, you care for your fellow roleplayers much more than writing partners and more as friends. This is beyond writing that I’ll consistently gush about but, I get that you’re an all around package who brings your A+ game and only deserves the best. A Memorable OOC Interaction Of Ours: How…how do I choose one?? I usually send him very cursed things over Tumblr IMs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=120HFjKPuJ4) and we’ve explored the realm of what strange things seiyuus sing. Every OOC interaction is memorable! Why Others Should RP With Them: It’s really hard nowadays to find roleplayers that really care for their characters but also know when to mess around and not take them as seriously. With the addition in being dedicated to building their characters and open to new and exciting ways to interact, I don’t why why you aren’t following yet. Also, he helps me cope with the stupid and long novella replies with eveN BETTER ONES SO, YOU GOT THAT BONUS. How Others Should Approach Them: Maybe it’s me and I see that it’s really easy to message people like a moron like “he-hewwo??” But, I always say drop into Tsun’s messages and drop a hello! I always say it’s better to drop in to meet the person first rather than their writing. It helps build bonds! Other Roleplayers I’d Recommend To Them: @vacuitas ; I think both of your multimuse blogs will greatly mesh well together and with Kat’s blog backstory and OCs should really be explored and you got some interesting personalities on both of your blogs that can either get along or hate very much! Anything else I want to say about them: how you haven’t gotten tired of me yet and the weird things I’ve sent you is beyond me– But, Tsun, you’re a real sweetheart and know how to bring a smile to my face without realizing it ;v;
If We Have/Plan To Interact
A plot I’d like to write with them: ANYTHING. ANYTHING. just honestly throw me ideas about AUs and I’m like butter, easy to melt and get into things. *steeples hands* If there’s any way I can make a character suffer at the expense of one of mine getting hurt or being mean, lmk :eyes:. Maybe hm… “Asselin you’re not a demon and those horns are totally fake - what the bloody hell. No I’m not going to stop pulling these horns these are NO way real ” AU. A muse I want to introduce to them: Natsume from Enstars. Just trust me, just trust me you will love that little shit and he’ll fit in with your crowd and he curses people like a fucking moron please I LOVE HIM… Since you like characters in trashbags, but I want you to have a variety, I can also bleed in some of my Mogeko charas like Shirogane (a scaredy cat wolf) and Battler Ushiromiya from Umineko (he’s a man who defies meta to solve the murders of his family that fateful October 4th, 1986). Also Phantom from Maplestory, I …love him to bits, he’s amazing. He’s gorgeous, he’s powerful, tends to not take things seriously is a phantom thief but I …oh god I love him so much : ‘ ) A ship/broship I’d like to propose to them: Xander/Sophie’s dynamic is amazing, I love when the bourgeois and the peasants argue. I’m also glad that their relationship can translate on different levels but there’s always that call-back to bickering yet support. If I can propose another, uhh– I really like Bamboo/Spam as a friendship and Boston/Spam as a mix of plato/romo (not too sure but I really liked their differences, i can see it as a “grey” area).  UHHHH… Asselin/Sophie looks like it could be a god damn trip :tm: bc a servant of satan of a witch sounds all sorts of chaos :3c. A thread with them I’m excited about: CHISANA THREAD, CHISANA THREAD! GIANT ASS DRAGON INDEBT TO WITCH AND HE REGRETS TURNING HUMAN BUT THEN HE REGRETS TURNING BACK AND … YEAH.  Anything else I want to say: God has forsaken you since you’re my friend and I hope you realize the path you’re now down wnjdfksnfdsj/.

Dear Chocolatier
This ended up kind of long. I really hope this doesn’t come across as too picky! While I’ve included prompts and general rambling, I can’t predict everything that I’d be interested in--so as long as your idea doesn’t fall under my DNWs, I’ll be happy to read whatever you come up with! This is mostly geared towards fic, since I’m not very good at talking about art, but I’d also be ecstatic about art fills. Full letter under the cut. (Note that I missed nominations, so I was limited to whatever was in the tagset; not all of my favorite relationships in these works are represented.)
What you need to know about me is that most, if not all, of my favorite pairings include some element of opposites attract. I’m not sure that’s the right phrase to use, since it’s often not literal opposites that attract me to a pairing. What I love is when characters have some sort of large difference(s) between them that is impossible to ignore, requires there to be communication between the members of the pairing, and (this is the big one!!) all the members of the relationship love each other in part because of the differences between them as well as recognizing the similarities they have. It’s a bit hard to explain in words, but I hope that helps. To use examples from the pairings I’ve requested: human/elf, human/alien, alien/different alien, human/robot AI, mage/warrior, warrior/diplomat, witch/fairy, angel/demon...I let out a dreamy sigh just typing those out, which should explain how much I love this trope lmao.
I want happy endings. There’s a place for tragedies, but I need to be in a very specific mood to gain satisfaction from them, and right now in my life I can’t really appreciate them much. I generally prefer a “happily ever after”, but “happy for now” is also acceptable (and is more appropriate for several of the pairings on this list). While I enjoy fluff, I’d also be happy with something more dramatic as long as it ultimately has a HEA/HFN. I’ve enjoyed hurt/comfort, but I usually prefer them to be heavy on the comfort.
Regarding smut: I’m fine with or without it. I’m asexual and porn does nothing for me sexually, but I can enjoy erotica, even PWPs, as an exploration of intimacy between characters. (Not necessarily even romantic intimacy--I’ve enjoyed smut about friends with benefits.) Stuff I enjoy in smut: blindfolds; body worship; bondage; cunnilingus; edging; facesitting; femdom/malesub; gentle domination; intercrural; mirror sex; multiple orgasms; mutual masturbation; pegging; praise kink; service topping; vibrators; wax play. And if the scene goes into BDSM territory, aftercare!
However! I am also a very, very big fan of non-sexual intimacy. Kissing, hugging, cuddling, spooning, literal sleeping together, massages, holding hands, words of affirmation...I could go on and on. Love it all. If you headcanon a character in a requested pairing as asexual, go for it!
Special shoutout to characters bathing together (preferably in a very large bathtub or similar body of water). It can easily lead to sex, and I don’t mind if it does, but I almost prefer if it doesn’t cross that line.
General DNW: 24/7 D/s, A/B/O, abuse between characters in requested pairings, ageplay, amnesia, ass to mouth, BDSM society AU, bestiality, bloodplay in settings without magical healing, breathplay, cancer, canon bi character portrayed as straight or gay, canon gay character portrayed as straight or bi, cheating/infidelity by character in a requested pairing, crossovers, daddy/mommy kink, death of a character's parent(s) as a major plot element (references to canon parent death OK but try not to linger too long on it), describing genitals of any kind as "weeping", dub-con, eating disorders, enemas, explicit underage, fake relationship, feederism, fisting, guro, hatesex, humiliation kink, incest, inflation, kidfic (canon kids OK but I'd rather not have a fic centering around them), lactation kink, love triangles, maledom/femsub, necrophilia, nipple clamps, permanent death of a character in a requested pairing, petplay, plots centered around prejudice or -isms, pregnancy, rape/non-con, rape roleplay/consensual non-consent, reader insert, rimming, scat, school-related AU, self-harm, sex in public places, soulmates AU, sounding, spanking, vore, watersports/omorashi, zombies
Some of these fandoms/pairings have more written about them than others. Please don’t take that as an indication that I’ll be disappointed if you pick a pairing or fandom I’ve written less about here--I really will be happy with any of these pairings!
Cinderella Phenomenon
(Psst...this is a free game...consider playing it?)
Delora/Parfait: I didn’t consider this pairing until I saw it in the tagset and now I 100% ship it. Love me a goth witch and pastel fairy couple. I’d like to see them negotiating around the drastically different perceptions of witches and fairies in Angielle. Or maybe something a bit fluffy, like sharing a stolen moment away from the Marchen, or just taking a break from the trials of everyday life.
Pairing-specific DNW: Work set during/after Rumpel’s, Waltz’s, or Fritz’s routes
Lucette Riella Britton/Karma: While I enjoyed the game as a whole, I think Karma’s route was my favorite. For all his eccentricities, Karma recognizes Lucette’s terrible upbringing and how it affected her before the other characters do, and the fact that he’s a prince means that you can get up to some really nice royal intrigue and politics with this pairing. (Also, I wonder--does Karma continue to wear dresses after his curse is broken, just for the fun of it?)
Pairing-specific DNW: Explicit smut (fade-to-black is fine)
Dragon Age
Fandom-specific DNW: Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor sides with templars, rivalmances for DA2 LIs, Cullen as major character
Alistair/Male Surana: Oh, Alistair, my first DA love. Even though he never actually became a templar, he was still trained as one, and I think that could cause some issues in a relationship with a mage. And being an elf mage? Whew. Even though I don’t want something where Alistair becomes king, I’m fine with something where they discuss the possibility of Alistair becoming king, as long as they ultimately decide not to put him on the throne. You could also do something set after DAO/Awakening, where both are active Wardens--maybe they’ve been separated for a few months for Warden-y reasons and they’ve just reunited?
Pairing-specific DNW: Alistair as king, Loghain recruited into Wardens
Fenris/Hawke: Any gender Hawke is fine (I just have m!Fenhawke tagged because it was in the tagset). My Hawke is female, but feel free to write male or nb Hawke; my Hawke is also a mage, because I like the idea of them falling in love despite the tension that causes between them--but if you’d rather write a warrior/rogue Hawke, that’s also good. (If you want to include specific details about my Hawke: she’s named Samantha, specializes in healing, and is mostly purple/joking with a blue/diplomatic streak. I headcanon her as asexual even if it can’t really be replicated in the game. But I’ll be fine with whatever Hawke you choose to write.)
Zevran Arainai/Warden: Like with Fenris, I’m not picky about which genre or origin you pick and only put in the tags in the set for matching purposes. My Zev-romancing Warden is a f!Brosca, but if you prefer another gender/origin, do whatever you want. These two are my favorite enemies-to-lovers pairing, in part because Zevran never had any hard feelings for the Warden in the first place. (And the Warden telling Nathaniel “Some of my best friends have attempted to kill me” during Awakening gains a whole new level of hilarity with romanced Zev.) Zev comes across as a devil-may-care flirt, but he turns out to be a respectful lover if you actually put the effort to get to know him beyond surface level. (Also, that cool-ass Crow armor from the World of Thedas artbook. A+)
Female Lavellan/Josephine Montilyet: Josie! (。♥‿♥。) And I romance her with a f!Lavellan, so it’s a nice coincidence that this was in the tagset lol. I’ll be good with just about anything you come up with for this pairing. Josephine is one of the few non-Dalish characters who at least tries to be respectful of Lavellan’s Dalish heritage, even if she is a bit clumsy about it sometimes. My Lavellan is a lesbian mage named Ilena if you’re interested in including those details, but I’ll be happy with any f!Lavellan.
Josephine Montilyet/Cassandra Pentaghast: Fun fact--I ship this because of a bondage fic I read lmao. They have a very interesting dynamic--a warrior who kills on a regular basis (even if for a good cause); a diplomat who has renounced violence. I won’t be picky about anything for this pairing, either.
Good Omens
Fandom-specific DNW: Reverse AU (I don’t mind these but I’m not interested in receiving one), Aziraphale falling, smut involving Crowley’s snake form, work set before Crowley’s fall, strict top/bottom dynamics
Note: I’ve read the book and watched the series. I’m fine with stuff set in either canon (hence why I requested both). If you want to combine elements from both, that’s cool too.
Aziraphale/Crowley: My most recent love. I have lots and lots of feelings (at least a billion) about these two. Enough that I have a goddamn LIST.
I’m fine with any combination of genders/presentations/efforts/pronouns for these two. I headcanon Aziraphale as being agender with he/him pronouns and Crowley as genderfluid, but again, anything works. Lately I’ve adored fics and art of butch female-presenting Aziraphale, too.
Chubby Aziraphale!! I love!! So much!! Dovetails very well with my interest in body worship (sexual or otherwise). Crowley loves his soft angel!! So much!! And! So much cuddling potential!! (More serious note: I’m not a huge fan of stuff where Aziraphale is extremely self-conscious about his body. Surely he’d miracle himself a different shape if he hated it so much? And he’s been around for millennia, so he’s witnessed beauty standards change drastically over time. It makes more sense in human AUs, but it’s still something I tolerate more than enjoy.)
I’m a big fan of “Aziraphale and Crowley through history” stuff. Pick a time period you like and go wild. Personally, I have a huge soft spot for the 1920s--Crowley would look amazing in a flapper dress. (Realistic or Hollywood-style, take your pick.) (I know that according to the TV script they didn’t see each other between the fight at St James and the church scene, but...bah. Flapper Crowley!!) Some great opportunities for mutual pining, or if you want to write an AU where they got together before the Notpocalypse, go for it.
I have a big soft spot for stuff where Crowley is in his snake form (no smut, please--if the story turns that way I want him in his human form for sex)
I will never ever get tired of “first love confession” or “first kiss” stories for these two because I am a romantic sap who just wants them to be happy (they’ve spent so long not being able to be close to each other! they deserve it!!)
Outsider POVs: “random normal person weirded out by bizarre relationship between fussy bookseller and his goth husband” is one of my favorite fandom tropes
Praise kink! I mentioned this in my general smut likes but it bears repeating here. The major fanon is Crowley having a praise kink, which is wonderful and valid (tfw your crush calls you nice and it turns you on so much you try to play it cool by shoving him against a wall). I’ve seen some stuff recently with Aziraphale having a praise kink and now that’s an idea. (He’s spent so long just wanting to be good for Heaven! Even though Heaven’s standard for what’s good is kind of terrible and they hate him anyway so he’d never be good enough for them! But Crowley knows that Aziraphale is good and he’s more than willing to tell him every little thing he loves about him! aaaaaaaa) Regardless of who has the kink, I think they’d be a bit embarrassed at first at having it found out (Crowley: “Being turned on by compliments? C’mon, that’s not me” [it’s totally him]/Aziraphale: “It’s...a bit selfish, isn’t it?” [but since when has that stopped him]), but the other would be more than willing to indulge. (And while Aziraphale is naturally suited to provide praise, given how good he is with words, I think Crowley could grow into the role too, in his own way.)
Heart of the Woods
Tara Bryck/Morgan Fischer, Abigail Dalsing/Madison Raines: I put these two together because they’re so intertwined in the original game, but if you want to focus on one pairing over the other, that’s great! Something that really interests me would be seeing how Morgan and especially Abby would react to the...idiosyncrasies of modern-day America. Also, Abby being introduced to the internet could be hilarious. (Also also, Morgan getting to live her best butch life, and Tara being her slightly overly enthusiastic cheerleader.) On a more serious note, how does Maddie move on after leaving Taranormal?
Lake of Voices
(Psst...this is also a free game...consider playing it too?)
Kikka/Margret: I’m less interested in fluff for this pairing thanks to how dark the original material is, but I’d still rather not have something totally grim. Margret’s route isn’t truly romantic, not really, but considering the short period of time the game takes place during, that’s not surprising--so I’d like to see how their relationship progresses after the events of the game.
Mass Effect Trilogy
Fandom-specific DNW: Sabotaging the genophage cure; Control/Synthesis/Refusal endings; synthetics dying in Destroy ending (yes I know this is canon, no I don’t care; please don’t do post-ME3 if you aren’t willing to work around this); dead Wrex; no peace between geth and quarians (for ME3)
Female Shepard/Garrus Vakarian: While Shakarian isn’t my favorite ME pairing, I do still love it. No Shepard without Vakarian, after all. They work so well as a battle couple and have such great chemistry. My Garrus-romancing Shepard is a Paragade Vanguard named Elliott, Earthborn/War Hero if you want those details.
Female Shepard & Mordin Solus: Death DNW doesn’t apply to this one; hit me with all the feels over Mordin’s death (I don’t like what you have to do for him to survive). Or avoid the issue by doing something set during ME2. Alien Sex Ed is always a classic trope, or something more serious regarding Mordin’s past as an STG operative or his work with the genophage.
Grunt & Female Shepard: Shepard is very proud of her strong krogan vat bby.
Kolyat Krios & Female Shepard: With or without Shep/Thane (”YOU’RE NOT MY REAL MOM”), either works. If there’s romance, how does Kolyat react to his missing dad showing up with a human girlfriend? Does Shepard try to become a part of Kolyat’s life or does she try to stay out of it? There’s less reason for Shepard to get involved if there’s no Thanemance, but I think there’s still opportunity there, since Kolyat and Thane keep in contact after the loyalty mission is completed.
Pairing-specific DNW: Thane dying
Thane Krios/Female Shepard: My favorite ME pairing! At least until BW fucked it up in ME3. (I still kind of haven’t forgiven them.) They have a very mature relationship, I think--both of them a bit weary--and they find solace in each other, at least until the inevitable. I would prefer a fic set during ME2, or in the time period between the end of ME2 and Shepard being detained before ME3. If you want to make something set during ME3, I’d like to see him receive treatment (not necessarily a cure, though I won’t complain if you go that route, but preferably something more realistic than “oh I took a pill and now I’m all better!” or similar) for Kepral’s. I also don’t like the defeatist “well, I guess I’m just gonna lay down and die now” attitude he has when you meet him at Huerta in ME3; it clashes so much with his entire ME2 arc, which has him realize that he does still have things to live for (his son, for one, and Shepard if you romance him). If you’re interested in details about my Shepard: her name is Diana; she’s a Paragon Infiltrator, Colonist/War Hero.
Pairing-specific DNW: Excessive focus on his illness (I know it’s a big part of his character, and I don’t expect people to avoid it entirely, but I don’t enjoy stuff that’s centered totally around it); Irikah bashing or trying to portray her as unimportant
Nyreen Kandros/Aria T’Loak: (STILL SCREAMING ABOUT BADASS TURIAN LADY) I want to see something from when these two were still together, or a fix-it where Nyreen doesn’t die and she and Aria enter a (possibly uneasy) truce. Less concerned about happiness for this one as long as neither of them dies; I’m fine if it ends up that their relationship just doesn’t work out.
EDI/Samantha Traynor: Geeky lesbian with a robot kink + sexy fembot = ooh la la. On a serious note, how would a human/AI relationship work? There’s a lot of possibilities here.
Stardew Valley
Fandom-specific DNW: Player siding with Joja-Mart
Abigail/Female Player, Elliott/Player, Leah/Female Player, Maru/Female Player: I’m putting these together not because I think they’re interchangeable (they’re not), but because what I want is basically the same for each of them--slice-of-life about the farmer and their partner (either dating or married...or dating then married; no kids please), with emphasis on how the partner’s personality and lifestyle meshes, or doesn’t mesh, with the player’s farm life. Maybe there’s conflicts that have to be resolved, compromises that have to be made. (But I do want them to eventually work it out and be happy together.) If you pick Elliott/Player, I’m fine with whatever gender farmer you want.
Sweet Fuse: At Your Side
Inafune Saki/Meoshi Kouta: One thing I enjoyed about Meoshi’s route is how he doesn’t have to give up games entirely in order to deserve love and improve as a person, he just develops a healthier relationship with gaming. I like the idea of Kouta participating in a fighting game tournament with Saki cheering him on...or maybe he taught her how to play and she’s a competitor too now? DUN DUN DUN. (but it’s all in good fun)
Pairing-specific DNW: Explicit smut (fade-to-black is fine)
Original Work
Dethroned and Dishonored Queen/Lone Loyal Female Knight
Lady Locked in a Tower/Lady Who Turns Into a Hawk
Female Werewolf Hunter/Her Boyfriend Who Gets Turned Into a Werewolf
Female Tall Muscular Badass/Female Short Chubby Nerd
Hiker/Sporty Girl Who Sprained Her Ankle Miles from Nowhere
Grumpy Lonely Sorceress/Female Courtesan She Hires for a Ritual
Female Witch/Female Werewolf
Female Witch/Female Demon She Accidentally Summons
Female Knight/Female Bath Attendant with a Crush
Female Gamer/Female Bookworm
Female Court Painter/Impatient Princess Sitting for a Painting
Female Armorsmith/Female Warrior Who Needs Frequent Repairs
Female Adventurer Lost in the Snow/Female Fire Spirit
Male Speakeasy Bartender/Male Speakeasy Piano Player
Librarian/Her Monster-Hunting Wife Who Keeps Dragging Her Into Wacky Supernatural Adventures
Sensible Royal Guardswoman/Arrogant but Skilled Court Sorceress
Dark Mage/Light Mage
Beleaguered Playwright/Actress Cursed to Ruin Any Show She’s In
Female Vampire/Female Vampire Hunter
Victorian Lady/Victorian Lady
GO WILD. Just don’t hit my DNWs. For the pairings that don’t specify the genders of both members, I’d prefer f/f works.

Ship meme NSFW Edition: Newtina and Goldgraves!
DAMN. 
I apologise for my lacklustre answers, but I’m soinnocent and pure :’)
NEWTINA:
What was their firsttime like?My personal favourite headcanon is that their first time was on theirwedding night because I’m a total sucker for that kind of thing, but alsobecause I feel like Newt would want to do it “properly” with her. It was veryslow, very loving, but also very passionate; there was a tiny bit ofawkwardness because it was all new, but they overcame it and it was wonderful.Lots of kissing and touching and taking the time to explore each other’sbodies.
Who usually initiatesthings?They both do – what usually happens is innocent kisses will grow lessinnocent and things will progress quickly into that area. I’d say Newtinitiates a tiny bit more often but only because I can see him being slightlymore comfortable and with a “sex is a natural thing” mindset.
How often do theyhave sex?About three or four times a week – they can’t really keep their hands offeach other, let’s be honest.
Who is louder/noisier?They’re both pretty loud, to be honest; Newt tends to make more animalisticnoises than words, like growling and what have you, whilst Tina likes to callout his name and expletives.
Who is moresensitive?Tina – especially pregnant Tina. She loves feeling Newt’s hands/fingers onher skin, loves his calloused fingers especially, and he knows all of the rightspots. (Newt’s also sensitive when she touches his scars – that always makeshim weak)
What’s foreplay oftenlike?Newt is all about the foreplay because foreplay equals Tina being moreturned on, which makes penetrative sex easier for both of them (obviously) Newtis all about lavishing every bit of Tina, making sure she’s completely readyfor it.
Favorite place tohave sex?Two of the best times they’ve had sex out of the bedroom are on desks :’)Firstly Tina’s work desk, secondly the desk in Newt’s shed. Once the childrencome along, it’s a tad more difficult to get amorous outside of the bedroom.
Favorite position tohave sex?Newt loves it when Tina is on topand riding him; there’s something about seeing her on top of him, bringingherself to orgasm as he gazes up at her, that really drives him crazy. (I wouldhave said Tina being bent over Newt’s shed-desk, but then I always imagined themloving it more when they can make eye contact)
Who’s best at oralsex/oral headcanons?Newt likes to pleasure Tina, so he gives oral the most to her becausethat’s the kind of guy he is. Tina’s not bad at it though – quite the opposite.A lot of the time when she does it, he has to tell her to stop before heclimaxes.
Who’s more likely totickle their partner?Well Tina is totally the more ticklish one so Newt would tickle her :’)
Who’s moreromantically sexual?They both are – I just like the idea of them always reaffirming that theylove each other and stuff when they’re having sex because I’m a sap. Maybe Newtmore so, because he’d probably be a little bit more open about his feelings.
Who’s better at dirtytalk/dirty talk headcanon?Probably Newt :’)
Do they have sexualnicknames or titles?Hmm…I never really thought about it. In my smut, it’s always “love” whichisn’t too sexual so…
Who’s more likely tobe caught masturbating?My gut is telling me Tina but it could also be Newt because I can justimagine him wanking in the case when he thinks he’s alone and Tina walking in.
Who looks at pornmore/porn headcanons?Probably Newt (I’m not sure)
Who usually cumsfirst?Newt likes it when Tina cums first – he likes to satisfy her first, andthat usually gets him off too.
How long can they go?At first it’s not very long, but over time they build up a stamina for itand can go maybe like an hour or so?
What are theirsafewords?MERLIN OKAY. I don’t see them being especially kinky, I’m afraid, so if oneof them said “stop” then of course they’d stop.
Any routines?
Do they have adynamic (Dom/sub) or are they versatile?I’d say they’re versatile.
What roleplayscenarios do they have/want?Uhm, how about the roleplay of their first meeting where Tina slammed Newtagainst a wall? ;)
What sextoys do theyuse?…none? (sorry, I don’t see them as being too kinky)
Who, if anyone, wouldthey most likely bring in to join them?GRAVES. GRAVES. GRAVES.
Sharedkinks/fetishes?Uhm…well…perhaps a bit of a semi-public kink?
Something they triedand won’t do again?
What would eachmember say their favorite thing about the other(s) is?Tina’s favourite part of Newt is his eyes – how they light up and show howhe’s feeling, how they brighten at the sight of a creature or one of theirchildren…or her. Newt’s favourite part of Tina is her smile; he thinks that hersmile is radiant and beautiful, and he never grows tired of it.
Any headcanons nottouched on?
*
GOLDGRAVES(the dynamics of both relationships are different, so the answers are of coursedifferent) Goldgraves is my crackship so some of my answers are literally forthe sake of being something a bit different to what I usually write or read.
What was their firsttime like?They were paired together on a top-secret mission and spent an entire monthundercover pretending to be a couple. One night, after a particularly gruellingday of following and taking notes on suspects, Percival decided to break outsome expensive wine to take the edge off; they sat in their shared hotel room(also part of the undercover stuff) drinking. Tina got really tipsy andaccidentally blurted that she was attracted to him; at first he was quiet butthen said that he was attracted to her too. So, with that out in the open, hekissed her hard.
They ended up on the bed, hurriedly tearing at each other’sclothes and not quite getting them all off as they fucked; it was heavy andquick and really quite passionate.
Who usually initiatesthings?Percival – he knows what he wants and he takes it.
How often do theyhave sex?They’re pretty damn horny so it’s usually every two nights or so.
Who islouder/noisier?Tina – Percival has learned over the years how to be quiet, how to keep itto himself, but Tina is totally loud and uninhibited. (she makes it her missionto get noises out of him)
Who is moresensitive?Definitely Tina.
What’s foreplay oftenlike?Look, Percival simply looking atTina in a certain way makes her wet – and he knows it. So sometimes it’s quitequick and there’s little foreplay involved, and other times when they go a bitslower/take some time then there’s more of it.
Favorite place tohave sex?Graves’ office – he gets his own private office, and he really lovesbending Tina over his desk or pushing her up against a wall.
Favorite position tohave sex?They vary their positions a lot, but the best ones are Tina being bent overwith Percival behind, or when Percival is on top and pressing down on her.
Who’s best at oralsex/oral headcanons?Percival is more experienced at first – but Tina picks it up quickly. Onetime, she totally sucked him off underneath his desk – Picquery walked in atone point, completely unaware, and Percival had to keep a straight face whilstSeraphina talked to him despite the fact Tina was sucking his cock and fondlinghis balls. (He got her back after)
Who’s more likely totickle their partner?Just imagine ticklish!Percival and Tina laughing her ass off ataccidentally tickling him and ruining the mood.
Who’s moreromantically sexual?Tina because she’s got less experience and so at first she goes into itwith more of a romantic mindset. Percival is the dirty talker.
Who’s better at dirtytalk/dirty talk headcanon?Oh, totally Percival Graves! He loves to dirty talk Tina and drive hercrazy.
Do they have sexualnicknames or titles?When they get especially kinky, she calls him “Mr Graves” – her superior,her boss.
Who’s more likely tobe caught masturbating?I can just imagine Percival catching Tina masturbating in one of the emptyMACUSA offices or catching her doing it on a stakeout where they have to sharea room or whatever.
Who looks at pornmore/porn headcanons?Graves.
Who usually cumsfirst?Tina, hands down. Percival Graves is just too good.
How long can they go?For his age, Percival Graves has incredible stamina. The longest is acouple of hours, I’d say, because I can imagine him teasing her and denying herfrom cumming to prolong it.
What are theirsafewords?LMAO, imagine their safewords being the Ilvermorny house names: “Thunderbird”,“Wampus”, “Pukwudgie” and “Horned Serpent”.
Any routines?After-care – they have their fun and games, but Percival has a soft sidewhere he makes sure Tina is cared for afterwards. He makes sure she’s not toosore, that she’s cleaned up (it can get messy). If it’s during the day, Tinahelps him straighten his suit out.
Do they have adynamic (Dom/sub) or are they versatile?Percival Graves is a total dom, though on the odd occasion he enjoys beingmore submissive to Tina.
What roleplayscenarios do they have/want?Definitely a boss/employee scenario, even after Percival retires – it givesthem both a thrill and turns them both on.
What sextoys do theyuse?PFFFFFTTTT Percival using vibrating objects on Tina, just imagine. (dobonds/ties count?)
Who, if anyone, wouldthey most likely bring in to join them?NEWT.
Sharedkinks/fetishes?Definitely a Dom/Sub thing going on; Tina being an insubordinate that needsto be punished, for example.
Something they triedand won’t do again?Anal – it hurt and just was not worth it.
What would eachmember say their favorite thing about the other(s) is?Tina obviously thinks Percival is highly attractive in general, but it’shis jawline that drives her crazy – and his eyes, dark eyes that are guarded(not around her later on though). For Percival, he loves Tina’s stubbornnessand determination; he also finds her mouth fascinating.
Any headcanons nottouched on?They do all the kinky stuff, but at the end of the day they do care foreach other and love each other.

Guys... Last night's episode????
Oh man sam riegel
Some of my thoughts:
First off, god damn it Sam
Second, holy shit
 Below is what I think about the whole thing... fair warning: it's really quite long, I just wanted to put it all in one place
Let's just break it down here into events and my thoughts/things I liked about them:
LOVE grog and earthbreaker smack-down - Great fun, grog/travis is continually the best ever you can't convince me otherwise, laughing and eating popcorn, great content love it
Sam must have been just dying waiting for shit to hit the fan
Vex debated flashing grog again
Character development is the best
Ridiculously close fight, legitimately thought grog was not going to win
Shopping - lmao at laura trying to get potions from the guy and grog making friends with him
Shopkeeper immediately tries to turn them away as soon as vex steps in which is amazing because she loves haggling and he just wasn't having it
I love the way Matt ties in these subtlety recurring NPCs its so good
They go home and wake Scanlan up - shit gets real.
Right so Scanlan wakes up and gets upset about VM allowing Kaylie to see him the way he was and also about how he thinks they don't really care about him and oh my goodness my poor heart
I was kind of expecting Scanlan to be upset, but man not to that extent, he must have been bottling it up for so long poor baby
I can't fault him for anything he said, they haven't really done anything super crazy for him like everyone else or know a lot about his past nor did they ask. However, he didn't offer the information and VM probably thought they were respecting his boundaries. He didn't reach out and ask for help when he clearly needed it but I can still understand where he's coming from
They all have a conversation - literal tears the whole time
vax, vex, and percy reacting in anger is somewhat surprising. I could see it coming from vax and percy, but I wasn't expecting it from vex. I don't know but I loved that dynamic
vax spoke to him to try and convince him that they do love and respect him and I don't even know how to respond to that because there were some points where I thought he was making it about himself too much but that's just how vax relates to people by using his own examples so I don't know...
vex was clearly angry just by her body language and was upset that he didn't talk to any of them about it before which I think was justified
percy... percy was just wild. he was angry and yelling and I do think the points he made were good but the delivery made me very nervous because if Scanlan took it the wrong way it could've been really hurtful
keyleth and grog reacted with understanding and compassion
throughout the conversation keyleth was expressing sympathy and apologizing for what she may have done wrong while also trying to reason with him gently. Very much a keyleth response I think.
grog was quiet for most of it, his contributions being asking scanlan's mother's name in the most adorable way possible and saying he understands if he leaves (my heart) and also giving Scanlan his salt lick rock for him to remember them by which was so cute guys I can't.
grog/travis killed me with this it's too much
Ashley wasn't there so Pike didn't respond until later as Matt which I'm a little upset about because this was such a key conflict between the character and I just wished Ashley could've been there to say something because outside of grog, pike is closest with Scanlan
does she feel guilty for not getting to know each other like they promised earlier, after Scanlan rescinded the proposal? Does she understand and is okay with it like grog? is she angry he didn't open up to her? does she have a right to be? I feel like Ashley is the only one who really knows and understands pike's character so I wish I could've seen her reaction because pike is a puzzle I so desperately want to figure out
Scanlan decides to leave with Kaylie - I mean... wow
I actually thought that it would make sense for Scanlan to take a step back from VM because of where I thought he was mentally, but I kind of dismissed it because it wouldn't really work in the timeline of the game... but I didn't expect it to happen like this at all
everyone is very traumatized and goes their separate ways to cope - my heart breaks all over again
vax immediately tries to talk to everyone
vex shuts him down and walks out
percy calls grog his big brother
keyleth goes with vex and vax goes with pike to get a drink
grog goes off into the town probably crying like myself
refocus over breakfast - a couple jokes, everyone is still somber but they're taking it pretty well
later they go to Marquette and meet fucking taryon darrington
holy shit
first, what an ass is this guy?
second, I love it
the reaction to him was amazing, and the character is so ridiculous you can't not laugh
I mean come on sam riegel how are you so brilliant??
another good thing, and possibly the most important: this guy is so out-there and such an ass that I feel like he's temporary? like I feel like they are going to get fed up with him and that's very reassuring because it means that Scanlan could come back maybe possibly god please
Overall: one of the best episodes ever, really threw me for a loop. I was laughing and crying and then laughing and crying; literally amazing. I also feel like this was a really good way to bridge the time gap that Scanlan obviously needed but still needed to be played out. The new character is incredible if absolutely ridiculous but I swear to god if Scanlan doesn't come back at some point I think I might never recover. These people are so good at improv and roleplaying... my life has been changed I'm so excited for everything that comes next. Sorry for the long post, I just have a lot of feelings about critical role and scanlan shorthalt
