Snaaaiiiil!!!!! You fiend, you devil, you madwoman, you!
I love feral characters. I love wolf-coded characters. Not in the way that they're noble creatures of battle (but yes that too) but when they're specifically wolves that Aren't dogs.
Mind if I get poetic in your inbox for a sec?
(Disclaimer: this is exaggerated for the point of poetry. My family breeds, shows, trains, and sells dogs and we have respect for them as individuals and a species based off of the knowledge we purposefully learnt to give them the best care possible. This is angsty on purpose.)
Dogs were bred from wolves for obedience and companionship through years of selective breeding and compassion. Offering scraps of meat, scratching where they can't reach when they let you close enough, giving them shelter and names and soft voices.
But a wolf can never be a dog.
Because dogs become dogs through generations of evolution until they rely on humans.
Their sharp edges softened until they rely on protection.
Their hunting instinct numbed until they rely on food.
Their adapted bodies changed for cuteness until they would no longer survive in the wild.
The one thing humans rely on is their pack nature. They need dogs to want to be around them, whether it's for loyalty, or obedience, or companionship. The one most common thread between all dogs and any wolf is their need for a pack.
The evolution of dogs is fine tuned only by the successive breeding and death of each generation.
A wolf can never be a dog. It's instincts are too prevalent. It's nature is too wild. It still knows the taste of blood.
A wolf has to die for it's descendants to be dogs. But it will never know the comfort of a human as friend and family - as pack. It only knows the instinct of survival, the one that tells it to run from or kill the predator and competition.
(Again: wolves are perfectly happy in the wild, they have flourishing hierarchies and pack structures, they integrate well into conservation efforts. It's for the angst)
So the idea of a character that is all knuckles and teeth and claw? Licking my plate clean, sending compliments to the chef, asking for seconds, leaving a six star review.
I just love a feral woman with blood dripping from her teeth who could be compared to a cage fighting dog. And how did you know hyenas were one of my favourite animals you oracle you!
And the writing? Ooh! The way you described the spear sinking the ship then running along as it sunk, then blowing up another ship in an explosion that returns the spear to your hand??? The perfect type of flavor that fits in with the absurdity and extravagance of anime (and particularly one piece and the live action) fighting and I Loved it.
Garp and Bogard giggling and eating popcorn while watching with opera binoculars is the best though.
Also, the enemies stopping in confusion and disgust when they hear the bet with Mihawk?
Holding up a hand like ☝️"Hold please."
I love how she is entirely wild and untamed, even when using some femininity in flirting it's clear she's still brash and not poised in any way beyond poised to strike. I love how you commit to the characters you write!!! And the characters you write have such a wide variety of flavours!!! Delicious.
I love you, Snail. Your inboxes always brighten my day. You are amazing, and I appreciate your many thoughts.
I very much leant into the absurd cinematography of anime on this one a little bit. Lots of fighting, lots of violence - usually the bane of my existence.
Garp and Bogard being little watchers, their binoculars focussing on the two warlords as opposed to, you know, doing their jobs.
I love committing to a variety of "reader" inserts, so we can all experience everything the way we want to. It's part of fandom magic that has always held me absolutely hostage: you are what you are, you add what you add. You have your own name, but it's not directly ever spoken. Enjoy the ride!
She was fun to write for. I may need to write another like her in the future.
She was just fun. Not a whisper or crumb of an enemy remaining once she consumes them.

Happy Fanniversary, Ali, @nv-md I love you so so much! You are a wonderful bright spirit who writes amazing stories and let’s lil ol’ me scream at you for your brilliance. I’d quite happily like to keep you forever if that’s alright with you? I mean, of course, I’ll share you with everyone else (because I’ll cause a riot if I don’t) but please know that you’re a complete delight to know!
The below silliness is for you. Please don’t judge to harshly, it’s been a mad day at work but I couldn’t resist putting a little something onto your dash!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
“Iㅡ” Harry shuffles from one foot to the other, both hands hidden behind his back.
Draco raises an eyebrow and stares him down until Harry shrinks back half a step, looking positively horrified. It takes Draco every ounce of self-control to keep his signature cocky smirk off his face, and he presses his lips tightly together to ensure he doesn’t accidentally chuckle. There’s just something about Harry, acting and looking anything but the confident young man that he isㅡ, not that Draco is in any rush to tell Harry that this is how he thinks of him.
Truth be told, there is a nearly endless list of things Harry has said, frequently says, has done, and frequently does that turn Draco’s legs to jelly, but he keeps those safe in his diary, the one he’s had since he first started Hogwarts. It’s been fifteen years, and he keeps a close guard on it, keeps it locked with a multitude of spells, but there’s an entire page thatㅡif unrolledㅡis about fifteen feet long, and it lists all the million and twelve tiny things Draco has noticed about Harry.
“Will you be mad?”
Harry’s question drags Draco out of his thoughts, and he’s momentarily torn between drawing his brows together to frown at Harry or rolling his eyes. Either option is acceptable, really, because Harry’s question is utterly imbecilic. In the end, Draco settles for a derisive snort.
“To be mad, Potter, one actually needs a reason. Since I don’t know what you’re so positively terrified about, I can hardly fix you with a skin-flaying glare now, can I?”
Harry looks like he actually considers this for a moment, then he nods slowly, silently conveying that Draco’s rhetorical question does seem to make sense. Draco just about manages to bite back a scathing remark. Old habits die hard, even if a lot has changed since Hogwarts and his and Harry’s petty rivalry.
“Well, just promise me you won’t blow up or mock me.”
This time Draco does actually roll his eyes.
“I can promise you the former, Potter, but I can’t promise you the latter.”
For some inexplicable reason, that makes Harry smile. Although Draco has every intention to remain serious, he can’t resist giving in to the insistent tugs at the corners of his mouth.
“Fair,” Harry says with a lopsided grin that makes his green eyes sparkle with the Potter-typical mirth.
Draco watches as Harry produces an ivory-coloured envelope from behind his back. It’s sealed with the official Potter family crest, and as Harry hesitantly offers it, part of Draco wants to make him sweat and simply stare at the gift, but he can’t bring himself to do that. And so, he takes the proffered envelope and breaks the seal as gently as possible. It still breaks in half, just as it’s supposed to do.
“Uhm, I really didn’t know what to get you; I thought about a card because you know paper, but it somehow seemed not enough, and well, you know me, I’ve never been the best at words.”
Draco nods in agreement because it’s true. Harry’s strong suit is his heart, his righteousness, his unwavering belief in the good in people, and his desire to protect and save, and although Draco often mocks him for it, he also loves him for these very reasons…among others.
Opening the letter properly, Draco pulls out a thick stack of neatly folded papers. Upon closer expectation, the papers are a deed, and upon even more immediate expectation, Draco’s throat dries up, and a thick lump wedges itself somewhere between his voice box and Adam’s apple. He tries to swallow around it, but it’s almost impossible to do so. Blinking hard, really hard, Draco stares at his own name and the property address, Grimmauld Place, and before he can even begin to process the meaning of this, Harry starts babbling.
“It used to belong to the Black family, and I know Sirius left it to me, but the house loves you, and in honour of your mother, well, I thought we could own it togetherㅡ Uhm, only if you want to, course. I signed at the bottom; you’d have to sign as well to make it official.”
Harry doesn’t get further than this because Draco tosses the envelope and the deed onto the coffee table, takes Harry’s face between his hands and pulls him into a fiercely possessive kiss. He claims Harry’s mouth, swiping his tongue into the warm, wet cavern that tastes of coffee, oranges and chocolate. Draco is suddenly heady with desire and unwilling to draw away; he walks Harry backwards until he’s got him backed up against the nearest wall. Harry lets out an oomph, and Dracoㅡstill cupping Harry’s faceㅡbriefly breaks away from the kiss and stares at him, eyes almost black with desire. Harry’s eyes mirror his own, and Draco can’t help but smile. It’s a goofy grin. He’s about to dive in for another kiss when two of Harry’s fingers land on his lips, effectively stopping him. He glowers but says nothing.
“Is that a yes?”
Draco inhales sharply.
“What do you think?”
Harry shrugs.
“I don’t know.”
“Harry James Potter, you are an idiot.”
Harry guffaws at that.
“An idiot in love. Now, is that a yes?”
Draco rolls his eyes.
“Circe’s tits, Potter, of course, it’s a fucking yes.”
Harry grins.
“Great, can we continue makingㅡ”
He doesn’t get to finish that sentence because Draco is on him, kissing him and groping him and just generallyㅡand quite desperately soㅡtrying to find a way to show Harry somehow just how much he means to him. He fails, of course, though he doesn’t admit that to himself, and he’ll never admit it to Harry either. Because that’s just not how Draco Malfoy does things.
I like in AUs when characters use the same lines from the show, but I feel like it is even better when it’s reversed and the other character uses the line instead.
And yes, I’m just saying this because I want to have Michael call Alex a miserable liar for the same exact reason.
okay okay but you’re so fucking precious and cute omg and i love sending memes because if i don’t i feel like in gonna sound like an old man with zero rizz-😭
not me fuckinf falljn asleep i’m sorry BABY!!!
MOCKINGJAY?!?:!,$,)2&;&3 avvi OMG OMG OMGGG. you are the best with your nicknames…. i love you so fucking much i love it i love it 🥹🥰😝🤭
HAAGSGHAHAHAHAHA an old man with zero rizz please 🤣 HAHXUDHE you’re so funny
Where should I even start. Every emotion was covered in this. The fun, the excitement, the jealousy, the insecurities, the frustration, the anger, the sadness, the guilt, the regret, the assurance, the love, the care, the angst, the lust, the happiness, the silliness, the fear. Every. Fucking. Emotion is there. And you took us all through them on this wonderful rollercoaster ride. The shift from one emotion to other was so smooth & effortless. And I fucking loved every single thing in this.
I feel so connected to them now, that when I am reading a part, sometimes I imagine the response when yoongi says or does something, which I read next from oc, is exactly the same.
This angry dominating yet caring Yoongi is so hot. Please bring him back again if possible in next part. Where OC and Yoongi both can explore this side, without any care in the world.
Oh I can't wait to see them openly showing there relationship to the world. Oh but reader's brother! Please be nice & supportive when they tell you about them. 🤞🏻
You are an awesome writer Ryen!! Lots of hugs and love to you.. 💜😍😘

strawberry oh my goodness.. this is so damn sweet of you!
all the emotions were present in here and tbh it was quite the challenge figuring out how to navigate everything. bc i knew there was gonna be angst and spice and fluff, but it was getting from one to the other that took some time to think about. i had to rearrange multiple parts and switch up plots a bit here. but once things started slotting into place, it legitimately felt like a puzzle was being built and i could see how to finish it. i'm glad it seems to pay off!
also, wow. you feeling that connected that you're already anticipating dialogue and getting it right? that's cool! like yes i'm all about plot twists and unpredictable events, but if the characters are consistent while evolving? amazing feedback.
this yoongi... hell yeah lol i loved writing him. he'll most likely make a return, and in the canon line, as well<3 just don't know when that will be yet. and we'll see what happens as far as the bro situation, too!
thank you so much for your wonderful commentary, babe! this was fun to read and i will cherish it💜
Hana!!!! I’m so sorry I haven’t been active. I was, and still am, going through a tough time atm, but I wouldn’t want to miss the chance to wish you happy birthday!! I’m so sorry I couldn’t write/make you anything, but I hope you do realize how much you truly mean to me. You’re, hands down, one of the sweetest people I’ve met on this website, and I hope we stay sisters forever! You’re truly an angel with how adorable and amazing you’ve been. I’m so blessed to have you as my little sis, I want nothing more than to give you the biggest hug! Please remember there’s some 25-26 year old emo lawyer in New York that’s always wondering how lucky I got with such a talented artist and wonderful person as my sis. I always wonder if we would’ve crossed paths either way through my old writing blog. It’s been what? Over two years already? Time sure flies by, huh? Anyways, I’m sending you so much love ❤️ I love you more than you can ever fathom, Hana! Keep being that stunning angel you are. Hope you have a a great day filled with lots of your favorite food and gifts. 💙♥️💕
