The Art of Etiquette Part 4 | Jeon Jungkook
Tumblr media
Summary: You and Jungkook get to know each other a bit better Pairing: f!reader x Etiquette instructor Jungkook Word Count: 4.6k~ a/n: Took me a while to get back to this story so I made this chapter a bit longer. Hope you like it! Read from the beginning
"Again" Jungkook says in a commanding tone, watching as I pick up the book I had balanced on top of my head while he had me running through the steps for a waltz on my own. (yes, like you see in those cheesy princess movies)
"Why am I doing this again?" I ask, stopping for a second to prevent the book from wobbling so much. "It's to help with your posture and balance. Once you've learned how to maintain proper posture then we can fine tune it to make it seem more natural" he says an eyebrow raised as he watches me trying to regain balance of the book as well as myself. 
"How much longer do I have to do this?" I ask as I finally am able to regain my composure. "As long as I tell you to. Now please stop talking and focus on what you're trying to achieve" he says and I roll my eyes since luckily I have my back facing him this time, leaving me able to blow off a little bit of steam without him noticing. 
Ten or fifteen minutes later he finally lets me take a break. "Here" he says while handing me a glass of water. I look up at him with a confused expression, wondering what's gotten into him. He's hot one minute and the cold the next and I really don't know where things stand between us most days. "Are you going to take it or not?" he asks, clearly getting impatient. 
"Yes, sorry. Thank you" I say quickly reach for it, our hands subtly brushing up against each other and neither of us pulling away right away. "Um, Mr. Jeon?" I say, questioning why he hasn't let go. 
"Oh" he says and pulls his hand back, acting as if he had touched a hot stove. "Rest for ten minutes and then be ready to begin again" he says, clearing his throat and walking out of the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. 
Pulling out my phone I open Jesse's message thread and send him a text immediately.
'Bitch' I simply send, knowing that that kind of message will get his attention right away. 
'Bitch' is all he sends back, showing that he's listening. 
'Jungkook is acting weird again' I send, not really knowing how else to explain it. 
'Isn't he always though? What happened this time?' he sends, making a point but also wanting to know more.  
'He has me dancing around the room with a book on top of my head, you know very princess in training kind of situation' I send, annoyed at the fact that I've already been doing this for an hour. 
'Okay, doesn't sound too crazy to me'  he replies, not really sure where I'm going with this. 
'He's been doing stuff like this for weeks right? But today he's been leaning up against the wall and watching me, but I feel like this time he's checking me out more than anything. I don't know it just feels different. And he said I could take a break (hence why I'm able to talk to you now) and he gave me a glass of water' I send off, trying to get it all out before he gets back. 
'Okay and? Sounds like he's just being nice'  he sends back, not really getting the full picture yet.
'But the thing is, once he handed it to me he wouldn't let go of it. Like it took me a second to grab it because I was confused as to why he was being so nice to me but then when I finally did take it it was like he wanted to keep our hands touching. I don't know but it felt kind of weird' I send, hoping to get some validation for my feelings about this. 
'Oooo sounds like lover boy might be into you'  he teases and I can't help but smile and roll my eyes when I see the message. I of course told him about the dress incident and he's been teasing me about it ever since. 
'No he's not' I send, wondering though if he might be right. 
'Okay but what happened after that?'  he asks, pressing for more details since things have gotten a bit more juicy (how he would describe it, not me).
'Well I called out his name since he seemed to be in a bit of a daze and when he realized what he was doing he ripped his hand away and looked flustered? Nervous? I don't know but he definitely was more surprised by his actions than I was. And then he just kinda left and said to be ready to continue in ten minutes' I send, not really knowing how to describe his reaction. 
"Let's get started" Jungkook says, walking into the practice room again and I send Jesse a quick message telling him I have to go and lock the screen and throw it in my bag before I'm able to see his response. 
I stand up and smooth out my skirt and walk back towards where I had placed the book down and reach for it again but before I'm able to touch it Jungkook grabs my wrist and pulls it away and places my hand on his shoulder, and pulls me in by the waist. I take in a sharp breath at the sudden proximity and I'm left staring at him with a wide eyed look. "I thought I needed more practice with my posture" I say, confused as to why he's done this so suddenly. 
"You seem to be progressing faster than I had anticipated so I figured we should move on" He says, leaning towards me, leaving me having to close my eyes, not really sure what to do but I'm startled by the sound of music suddenly playing through the speakers again. Now just realizing he was leaning in closer so he could press play on the sound system. 
"Are you alright?" he ask with a smug look on his face after standing upright and seeing the blush that had started to form on my cheeks. "I'm fine" I say, clearing my throat and looking off to the side so I can avoid his playful gaze. I hear him chuckle under his breath and say something that I just can't catch which leaves me turning back to face him. 
"What was that?" I ask with my brows pinched together in confusion. "Nothing, now focus and try not to step on my feet like last time" he taunts and I grace him with a sarcastic smile in return before he starts to lead me in this waltz that we've gone through a million times at this point. 
"Head up, back straight, wrists relaxed" he lists off, fixing the small details to make everything look seamless and I can't help but agree. With these minor changes it feels more natural and comfortable with each and every turn. 
Once the song finally ends we both part and I do a slight curtsy to him and he bows back. "That wasn't horrible, wasn't the best, but better" he says, trying his hardest not to make his compliment go to my head. "Umm thanks?" I say with a questioning tone, thinking that I did a lot better this time but I guess he's someone who is never truly satisfied.
"Grab you things, we're leaving" he says and puts on his suit jacket and looks in the mirror, fixing the collar and making sure everything is in place. "What do you mean?" I question, quickly grabbing my jacket and purse off the table in the corner of the room. 
"Did your father not inform you? We're going out to dinner tonight, I need to asses your table manners and this would be the best way to go about it. We'll work on fine tuning the small details tomorrow if need be" he says and walks down the hall, rushing me out of his home. 
"I've made reservations for us so we need to make sure to be punctual, which you have gotten a bit better at so well done" he says and holds the front door open for me to head out first so he can lock up. 
For some reason that small bit of praise has a nervous feeling start to bubble in my stomach and I get slightly nervous at the thought of being with him like this. It's not a date or anything but it just feels weird, like it's uncharted territory for us. 
"We'll take my car. You father has already sent someone to pick yours up" he says, never bothering to give me a choice in the matter. I might as well not have a car at this rate, seeing as he always seems to make the decision to drive the both of us. "You know you don't have to drive me around right? I really don't mind taking my car and meeting you there" I say as I walk towards him where he's holding the passenger side door open for me. 
"I am well aware. It's more convenient this way. I have another meeting in the city again so I'll be dropping you off at home as well" he informs me and closes the door once I've gotten in. "You're really controlling did you know that?" I say, finally voicing my opinions since I'm tired of him making choices for me. 
"I believe I make decisions that would be the most advantageous for the both of us so if that's seen as controlling then yes I am. Are you done now?" he asks as he gets into the driver's side and puts on his seatbelt before starting the car. "Whatever" I mumble, crossing my arms over my chest and angling my body away from him. He decides to let this one go, honestly not seeing the error in his ways until I spoke up and makes it a point to discuss this later when I'm not already upset with him.
~~~~
The drive to the restaurant is painfully silent and he doesn't bother to put any sort of music on leaving the tension that had built between us still thick with animosity (at least from my side). As we get closer though I start to realize that some of that anger and frustration might just be from the fact that I'm actually starving so I decide to make a note to give him a bit of a break, trying to be a bit more reasonable. 
Once we've pulled up I see that we're eating at one of the high rise restaurants that I've always wanted to go to and I can feel myself already start to salivate. "Close your mouth or you'll start drooling again" Jungkook says as he unbuckles his belt and gets out of the car, handing the keys to the valet, exchanging it for a ticket. 
I close my mouth and frown at him before going to do the same but before I'm able to open the car door on my own I see that he has yet again opened it for me and is now offering his hand to help me out. I have half a mind to brush it off and get out on my own but then I remember that we're in public and this is one of those times that I need to be showing off the skills that he has been teaching me, so I graciously accept it and step out of the car. 
"Good girl" he whispers to me and I turn towards him with a startled look on my face. "I could tell what was going on in that pretty little head of yours but you accepted my hand nonetheless so good job" he says and takes my hand, placing it on his arm to lead me inside. 
Being this close to him and especially in public feels different, he seems a bit more relaxed and isn't as short with me. It's nice but it feels weird, I just never know what version of Jungkook I'm going to get these days and it's making me dizzy. 
"Table for two?" the host asks us when we walk up to the podium. "Yes it should be under the name Jeon" Jungkook answers and I'm thankful that he does. I'm not a shy person so to say but I definitely feel out of my element so as the minutes go by he seems to bring me a sense of comfort and familiarity. 
"Ah yes Mr. Jeon, if you will follow me please" the host replies and leads us to our table that seems to be set up in a nice almost intimate corner of the restaurant. Safe from the pressure of the masses that are seated all around. 
I could've sworn I saw a senator or governor around here before we sat down as well as a CEO or two so it's nice to not have to worry about perfectly keeping up appearances as of yet. That's just what our family needs, a scandal because of me spilling a drink on someone important or not chewing my food properly and being called a slob. 
Okay that last one was probably a stretch but still it's not something that needs to be added to the list since our family is already under fire for my stepfather marrying beneath his social status. I want to do everything I can to keep from adding something else to his plate so I guess I should still be on my best behavior. 
"Good evening" our waiter says when he comes around to no doubt take our orders. "Oh Mr. Jeon, how lovely to see you again. Is this another one of your students?" he asks, looking over at me with a friendly smile. "Yes this is Miss y/n, my newest pupil" Jungkook replies, matching the same warmth the waiter has offered to us both.
Looking at him as he exchanges pleasantries with this man I can see almost a hint of a smile, a genuine one at that. They must know each other well since he recognizes him and already knows what Jungkook does for a living. "We'll have the set menu please with a glass of merlot for the both of us" Jungkook finishes and I'm startled out of my train of thought at the fact that again he didn't give me a chance to make a choice for myself. 
He notices the slightly narrowed gaze I'm giving him and he has the audacity to smile, clearly enjoying my reaction. "Why didn't yo-" "At the various events you shall be attending this fall you won't have much of a choice in the menu so it's better to get used to eating food that you wouldn't necessarily order on your own" he says placing his napkin on his lap. 
"At least you ordered the kind of wine I like" I mumble, mirroring him with my napkin at well. "What was that?" he asks, clearly using it to subtly scold me and ask me to speak properly or not speak at all. Or that's what he's told me in the past. 
"I said you have an excellent taste in wine" I respond with a pained smile, hating that I'm complimenting him, no matter how small it might be. "I asked Matthew what kind you tend to prefer and he gave me a few options" he says and takes a sip of the water that had already been placed here for us. 
"You asked what my favorite type of wine is?" I question, confused again by this constant push and pull between us. "Did I not just say that?" he says and before I'm able to respond the wine in question is brought to our table. "Your first course will be out in just a moment" the waiter from before says and he leaves us again as quickly as he had come.
"Try it" Jungkook says and waits for me to take a sip before he does the same. I do as he says and let the subtly sweet flavor envelop my tastebuds leaving me letting out an almost inaudible moan, surprised that wine could even taste this good. 
"Needless to say it is to your liking?" Jungkook asks, clearly amused with my reaction and I can't help but nod feeling embarrased. "Yes I guess you could say that" I respond awkwardly before taking another sip, trying to hide my reaction to it a bit more this time. 
~~~~~
The dinner goes on without a hitch. Jungkook and I actually engage in pleasant conversation and I end up learning a bit more about him. "So what you're saying is that because you hated how bratty and rude rich kids around you were when you were growing up that it made you want to become an etiquette teacher to fix the future generation of rich kids" I summaries, the thought of it almost laughable. 
"In so many words yes, I guess you could say that" he says, smiling at my simplified version. "So you've been a control freak from day one. I mean-" I say, my eyes wide while covering my mouth after I've realized what I had just said. "I think this wine has gone to your head y/n" he teases, this time using my name without any sort of formal title attached to it, somehow causing butterflies to stir in my stomach. 
"Yes you're probably right" I say, just now noticing the fact that he only had one glass at the beginning of our meal where as I am on my third. I set my glass down and start drinking water to hopefully clear up my head a bit but I guess the damage has been done. 
~~~~ 
As we walk out of the restaurant with my arm linked with his just as it had been before we went inside I turn to face him while we wait for the valet to bring the car around. "I'm sorry Mr. Jeon, what I had said in there was completely uncalled for" I say, admitting to my fault. "It's fine, I guess I have been quite harsh with you from the very start and that hasn't been very fair to you" he says, again surprising me with the walls that seem to be breaking down showing me what a kind and considerate person he can be. 
Before I can say anything else our car has stopped right in front of us and Jungkook leads me over to it and opens the door to help me inside, trying his best to maintain some sense of subtly at the fact that I might be a bit tipsy. Wanting to hopefully keep both of our images in tact. He closes the door after he's made sure that I'm all set and exchanges the keys with the ticket and gives the valet a tip before going to the drivers side and closing it behind him. 
He looks over at me and leans over towards me, leaving me confused and closing my eyes again just as I had done before in the practice room today and before I'm able to say anything I hear him pulling the seatbelt over and buckling it around me. I open my eyes and see that he's still close even though he had already fastened it and we both just sit there for what feels like hours studying each other's features. 
"Thank you" I say barely above a whisper which seems to break him out of the momentary trance he had been in for a few moments and sits back up straight mumbling a quick "You're welcome" before pulling out of the parking lot and back onto the road. 
Again the ride is silent but this one is filled with more of an awkward air to it with some sort of tension as well. What kind of tension is something I'm not sure of but he's definitely gotten close enough to kiss me on multiple occasions today alone but I'm not exactly sure if that's just the kind of guy he is or if there's something else going on in his head. 
~~~~~~
As we round the corner to my house I see Jesse's car parked outside with him sitting inside of it while on his phone. "Jesse?" I say aloud, perplexed as to why he would show up unannounced but I'm happy about it nonetheless. "Who's that?" Jungkook asks, his clear curiosity a surprise to me. "Just a friend" I say casually, trying to gauge his reaction and to my surprise I see the muscle in his jaw tense as he clenches his teeth a bit before tonguing his cheek soon after. 
When Jesse finally notices the car he looks up and smiles when he sees me and then looks over to the driver's side and sees Jungkook for the first time and gives him an unreadable expression. Unreadable if you're not familiar with him but with how close the two of us are I can tell that he's trying his hardest not to freak out after finally seeing him in person. 
As Jungkook moves his car further up the driveway Jesse makes his way up towards the house as well on foot, meeting us when Jungkook parks his car right outside the front door. "Jesse hey! Were we supposed to meet tonight?" I ask, still confused as to why he's here. "Yeah we were gonna watch a movie, remember?" he says in a voice much deeper than usual, throwing me off guard and checking out Jungkook who is standing right behind me. 
"Oh sorry Jesse this is Mr. Jeon, he's my teacher I had talked to you about. Jungkook, this is one of my friends from college Jesse" I say introducing the two, kind of catching on to the reason for Jesse's change in behavior. Jungkook comes closer and goes to shake Jesse's outstretched hand but still stands behind me, making him press up against my back, our bodies flush together for only a moment before he let's go and take's a few steps back to his previous spot. 
"Thank you for dinner Jungkook, I really enjoyed myself" I say turning to face him while Jesse makes his way over to the door waiting for us to say our goodbyes. "Jungkook?" Jungkook says, raising a brow at me, this being the first time I've used his first name. "I-I mean Mr. Jeon" I say, feeling flustered by my need for correction. 
"It's okay, you can call me that if you'd like" he say before reaching back into his car to grab my jacket and purse that I've left sitting in the passenger seat. "Oh, thank you" I say taking both of them and taking note of how he again brushes his hand up against mine. "Goodnight y/n" he says, placing his hand almost protectively on my waist before glancing over and giving Jesse a quick nod which he returns. 
"Goodnight" I say and quickly scurry off before I try to do something stupid and make matters worse and what I don't notice is how Jungkook closes the passenger side door and leans up against his car watching as I go and takes in the small interaction that Jesse and I have while I'm pulling out my keys to go inside. 
I only notice when I turn back around to close the door where we make eye contact for only a second before he pushes himself off of the side of the car and walks over to the drivers side and drives off. 
As I watch his car slowly disappear I don't take notice into the fact that I've slowly leaned further and further out of the doorway to watch him go until I hear Jesse's deep voice scare me half to death behind me. 
"Girl you got it bad" he says, laughing while I almost fall on my face from the precarious position I had put myself in. "I do not!" I say and turn around to close and lock the door before running up the steps to my room with Jesse hot on my heels. 
"Did you see the way he was looking at you? At me?" he laughs, seeing how defensive and flustered I am. "No" I continue and shush him so he doesn't wake up the whole house. "If looks could kill I would be six feet under" he says once we've gotten to my room. "Why were you acting all masculine out there? I mean not to say that you aren't masculine but you know what I mean" I say, pretty much knowing but wanting to make sure. 
"I wanted to see how he would react to another guy being around you. One that he thought was straight and close to you" he teases while throwing himself on my bed. "Why would you want to do that?" I question, taking off my heels and grabbing some clothes to go change in in my bathroom. "Because I wanted to see if he would get jealous and if jealous was a person his name would be Jeon Jungkook" he says, wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"Why would he get jealous? He hates me" I say, not even believing the words that are coming out of my own mouth. "Please, he was practically green" he says laying on his back and picking up one of the books that I still haven't finished and thumbing through it. "He was not!" I say finding his observations ridiculous. 
"Did you see how possessive he got with you? How he purposefully leaned against you to shake my hand instead of going around. How he held your waist when he said goodnight. I'm pretty sure I heard him say that you could call him Jungkook now instead of Mr. Jeon right?" he lists, showing me what Jungkook's behaviors added all together really showed.
I groan after I come out of my bathroom, throwing myself on the bed next to him and staring up at the ceiling trying to process everything that happened today. "What am I supposed to think about all of this? What am I going to say when I see him tomorrow? What is he going to say?" I ask aloud, dreading the answers to these questions even though I know I won't be getting any answers tonight.
"Just go in tomorrow and act like everything is fine. Try out that more casual approach by calling him Jungkook like he told you you could. I don't know just take it easy and follow his lead and see where things go from there" he suggests and I take a deep breath, taking in everything he's saying and deciding the best thing I could do right now is try to distract myself. 
"Why are you here anyways?" I question, turning towards him now realizing that we never talked about him coming over tonight. "I wanted to hear about what happened after what you told me earlier today but I think I saw all that I needed to see" he says turning over to face me with a teasing smirk and I push him a little in response. 
"Do you wanna watch a movie?" he suggests. "Please" I groan out and he laughs at my response. While he turns on my tv I send Jungkook a quick message just trying to hopefully clear the air after what happened tonight. 
'Drive safe :)' I send before I can second guess myself. 
'Always x'  he responds almost immediately, leaving me smiling. Who knew that one little 'x' could make me so flustered.

Shelby Sister- Opium
Tumblr media
This was another request from Wattpad
⚠️Warning this imagine talks about depression, unkind/derogatory words, attempted suicide, mentions making themselves sick and someone else making them sick (not in detail)
YN Shelby has always been the quietest of all her siblings. She keeps to herself, typically reading a book alone in her room. Because she's so quiet she doesn't have many friends and at school is often bullied. This is why her brothers have always felt the need to protect her.
Recently YN has been acting more quiet than usual, so much so that Ada her elder sister voiced her concern during a family meeting where YN wasn't present.
For YN life sucked. She was smart, good with words and numbers, but a push over. Finally the words her classmates tell her, she starts to believe, 'your ugly' 'fat' 'gypsy scum' and so much more.
One gloomy evening YN was walking home from school by the cut when some of the boys in her class run up to her
"Look here she is" one of them laugh "so when will you get married off?"
"Naaa no one will want her. Tommy will have to pay thousands to get someone to marry that" YN tries to ignore the comments, hugging her arms closer to her body
"At this point you may as well just kill yourself. Hey why don't I help you?" the boy takes YNs arms and starts pushing her
"What are you doing?" YN panics
"Oooo she speaks, thought you were a mute" the other boy says before pushing the young girl into the cut.
This became a daily thing until the day she snapped. YN had had enough. So she bunked off school pretending to be sick, of course Aunt Polly wasn't having any of it until after YN ate her breakfast and pretended she was going to throw up so ran to the bathroom, knowing her aunt will be behind her, YN made herself throw up. Polly kept her off school and when the house went quiet YN snuck out of her room and into Tommys looking for one thing in particular. Opium.
YN had heard about some people passing away after taking it and so she decided to try.
Tommy is the first to arrive home from a long day
"YN?" he shouts knowing his little sister is unwell. Not hearing a response Tommy makes his way up the stairs and into YNs room. But when she isn't in bed panic starts to set in, he know YN wouldn't have just pretend to be sick for no reason. Exiting her room he sees his bedroom door open. Frowning he makes his way into his room. Looking around nothing seems to be missing, that is until he notices the draw at his bedside table is slightly ajar
"Shit" he shouts opening up the draw and seeing that his opium is missing. Getting up he starts running around the house trying to find his sister. Finally he finds her pale, clammy and passed out in the bathroom "YN? YN I need you to wake up" Tommy shakes his sister "please love" he checks her heart rate, it's slow but there. Her lips have a slight blue tinge to them. Tommy has seen this before. After the war many soldiers used opium to kill themselves, but because of this  he knew how to help. He needs to make her throw up. Bracing himself he sticks his pointer finger and middle finger down her throat to make her throw up.
YN wakes up feeling comfortable and warm. Confused YN opens her eyes and sees a very stressed looking Tommy and Polly
"What...?" YN coughs. Her throat feeling sore
"Shhh" Polly rushes over and sits on the sofa next to where YN is lying with blankets covering her "thank god your alright YN"
"What we're you thinking?" Tommy scolds
"Thomas"
"Why? Why feel the need to go take my opium and hurt yourself"
"I'm sorry Tommy"
"Tommy why don't you go and get YN a drink eh?" without a word Tommy walks to the kitchen
"He's mad"
"He was scared YN. We all were, but Tommy has got a point. Why?" YN just shrugs her shoulders. Tommy walks back over to YN and helps sit her up. She takes a sip of water which helps sooth her throat a little
"I thought I'd lost you YN. Your upset, I understand but no mater what war that's going on in that head of yours means you do what you did"
"But you use opium every night to sleep" shocked Tommys eyes widen. He didn't realise that she knew that, if he did he would have been more carful
"I'll make you a deal. I'll stop if you promise to never to something like that again. You talk to me if somethings wrong"
"Ok"
"So you going to give me the names of the kids who've been bullying you?"
"How do you?"
"Finn heard some kids laughing about pushing you in the cut"
"I..."
"You don't have to tell us anything yet. When your ready" Polly takes YNs hand in hers and gives it a little squeeze. For the first time in a long time YN doesn't feel alone. She's never been alone and never will with her family around her.

hello, what’s this about awake craniotomies and clone chip removal? (I don’t follow you, I just saw your note in the reblogs and went “oooo this seems interesting!”)
Heyo! Of all the things I've commented on a post, I think this is exactly the one I expected to hear about the least lolol. I'm warning you, this is... a long post. It got away from me, I'm so sorry T-T (It's heckin long. I'm really sorry. I'll summarize at the top and you can read more beneath the break if you want.)
Long story short, I hyper fixated on this tiny little detail that really doesn't actually affect anything within the SW universe lmao.
TL;DR: The clones should be awake for their chip removal procedures with the exception of extenuating circumstances. Also, disclaimer, I'm not in the medical field, I just love research. If I get anything wrong, anyone is free to correct me :)
If you have any questions, please ask, I'm not very good at explaining things in way others understand at first. So it all makes sense to me, but you might not follow my leaps in logic 😅
Longer story: I was reading a fic this morning, and the clones involved got their chip removed. The text said something about 'waiting for them to wake up from the surgery', and it just kinda... idk, hit me that I have never ever read any fic where the clone doesn't have to wake up from being completely sedated for brain surgery.
Now, look. Write what you wanna write, like I said, it's not a big thing. But one of my neurodivergent quirks is that inaccuracy/misinformation/ignorance (willful or innocent) kinda bugs me? I like knowing that other people know things - know correct things. It brings me satisfaction and helps me sleep at night. So I kinda notice trends in what people seem to not/know.
My first thought when I realized the trend of complete sedation for brain surgery/chip removal led to me to draw two conclusions: a) As happens in fandom, most everyone just writes clones completely sedated for this procedure bc everyone else does. No biggie. It's easier, and again, doesn't really matter. b) Most everyone is working off misinformation pulled from inaccurate medical dramas and the assumptions made by the average fic writer. Again, not an issue. It's fiction. I just like... accuracy. So my brain took this and went ham.
Kay. So, there's this really cool thing about the brain that I'm starting to think isn't common knowledge? I'm kinda a nerd for weird medical things, and it's been a long time since my high school biology class where I first learned about this, so maybe it's just me. The brain doesn't have any pain receptors. None. Like, if you had just a living brain in the palm of your hand and you stabbed it or punched it or whatever, it wouldn't feel pain. Pressure maybe, since it still has touch receptors, but no pain whatsoever. The only pain receptors present around the vicinity of the brain are the ones around the brain.
This little fact led to a really cool and helpful medical advancement several years ago: this thing called awake craniotomies, or brain surgery where the patient is still conscious. The benefit is that it allows the surgical team to engage the patient and actively monitor cognitive function; this is a far step from waiting for the patient to wake up in order to determine if the surgeon done effed up and turned the patient into a vegetable - if they woke up at all, that is.
Originally this was practiced on epileptic patients bc, yanno, epilepsy. It's a really finicky condition, after all. Since then however we've managed to find other treatment options for epilepsy and other related conditions, so awake craniotomies (or conscious craniotomies as I call them, since it alliterates lol), so we've moved away from brain surgery there. Instead, awake craniotomies are now most often performed when removing or recessing a brain tumor. Again, it's a really finicky process, and the surgeon and their team really like being able to check on the patient during the whole process.
Before anyone freaks out about the pain receptors around the brain, there's an answer for that, too. A local anesthetic is used to completely numb the skull and scalp. Think of an epidural; it's the same idea.
Now, you may ask, how this all relates back to SW? Well, that's a great question lmaoooo. Now, in all of canon SW, there are only... seven (maybe eight) instances of a clone getting their chip removed. Tup, Fives, Rex, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Omega (and Crosshair if his chip actually was removed like he said, I haven't watched TBBS2 yet). Actually, did Kix? I don't remember. Anyway.
I'm operating off the assumption that SW medical knowledge/tech is about equal to our own - i.e. that they still use many of the same procedures/practices/techniques for most things bar canonical exceptions. My friend in the server however pointed out that they weren't sure any clone medic could perform a complex brain surgery. Now, that's a fair point. The Kaminoans wouldn't care to teach the medics how to perform those surgeries on each other; they're products, they can be replaced, so what's the point?
But. Here are my counterpoints to that.
First. In the event of an emergency, it would only make sense that a clone medic be prepared to perform any sort of necessary procedure on a natborn officer or even their Jedi general/commander in the event they could not make it to a medical station or a proper surgeon in time. If there were natborn medics trained in complicated procedures and stationed on the ships, then there's always the chance there would be far more clone medics than them, and thus if they die, the clone medics would need to be able to step up in their place. So. Clone medics can probably perform brain surgery.
Second. With Fives, Rex, and CF99 (minus Crosshair), they remove their chips via surgical droid/machine. In fact, both Rex and CF99 do so on a GAR class ship. This shows that not only did the clones have access to the necessary technology, but it could also be easily operated. And not only that, but the only thing they needed was a program to locate and remove the chip. I think the importance of the program is that the machine itself can't perform a Level 5 Atomic Scan, so the program is needed to triangulate the position of the chip for the surgical machine itself.
Now. As to why an awake craniotomy is the way to go. Again, it allows the team to actively monitor cognitive function. Only in extenuating circumstances will the patient be completely sedated. This could be preference on the patient's part or due to certain circumstances.
Look at Tup, for example. His chip was rotting in his skull, and it's treated like a tumor (technically it is). Keeping him awake risked damage to himself and others. In light of this, it was safer for him to remain fully sedated. Additionally, he probably couldn't be revived completely either due to the already existent brain damage. This is an extenuating circumstance. Note however that there was still a qualified individual present for the surgery: the AZI droid maybe Nale Se, maybe Fives, I legit don't remember I'm so sorry). Now, there is another side to Tup's case: the Kaminoans. Nale Se wouldn't have cared for Tup's continued functionality; she only wanted his chip. She would have kept him sedated out of convenience, because the intent was always to have him decommissioned anyway.
Now for Fives. Fives learned about the chips. He had his removed. Who helped him? AZI. However, my theory here is that it isn't actually AZI performing the surgeries. I think he just... holds the programs for various surgeries and programs the surgical machine. We don't see anything of Fives' actual chip removal procedure, only the aftermath. I hypothesize that Fives was awake in the machine however, just properly anesthetized by AZI - who, as a medical assistant droid, would most likely be programmed as an anesthesiologist - and also observed by AZI. What I'm saying is that AZI probably was monitoring Fives' cognitive functions while he underwent an awake craniotomy to remove the chip in his head.
Rex. We know nothing about that procedure, just that it happened (unless we do, idk). Either another clone medic helped him and was there to monitor cognitive function, or Rex involved the help of another droid in order to be properly anesthetized for the process. Given the intense nature of the circumstances, he wouldn't have wanted to be fully sedated for the process in case he had to respond quickly to the chaos - which he did, leading ultimately to him and Ahsoka escaping with their lives. So, he wouldn't have been monitored (except maybe by a droid), but he definitely wouldn't have been fully sedated, either.
Then for CF99. For these procedures, we see Tech program the machine and then stand watch as they go in. They aren't sedated, with the technical exception of Wrecker (iirc, he was stunned unconscious). It's not just caution or paranoia that makes him observe, and not even just his knowledge of what's happening: it's procedure. He's there, as the only one who would know how to check, monitoring the cognitive function of his family.
Now, the conclusion, lol.
I mentioned my two hypotheses earlier about why fandom as a whole writes the clones being completely sedated. After going through all of this, I'm leaning more towards a simple abundance of misinformation. It's technically and tactically safer and more correct for the clones to be awake for their chip removals, and in fact seems to be subtly portrayed in canon (though it's really written in a way that can be interpreted either way).
The moral of this story is that TV medical dramas are shit and should never be taken at face value. Honestly. No one wakes up after CPR. They remain unconscious for a while. Defibrillation doesn't wake a person up, either. If you're hit hard enough to be knocked unconscious, you have a concussion. It takes seven minutes to kill a person by choking them, not seven seconds, but you can make them pass out in seven seconds if you apply pressure to the write spots on their neck in order to cut blood flow to the brain. Stuff like that. Oh, and yeah: awake craniotomies are a thing and are the safe way to remove a clone's chip.

Your secret identity AU has plagued my mind so harshly-
I want so many details on it (also your art is fucking GORGEOUS and yummy)
~A-Anon
THANK YOU!!!!! OOOO okay okay umm hmmm
I haven’t drawn it in a while, admittedly but lemme try and write down the general timeline. It’ll get a bit long so I’ll do a read more PLUS there will be spoilers for the whole au down under :)
So it’s like pilots/season 1 era, after saving Nya, her and Kai go back to their shop, Jay lives with his parents, Zane stays at the monastery, and Cole probably camps around nearby since he can’t go home.
Zane is the first to reveal his identity, figuring he doesn’t remember anyone from his life, so he can’t put anyone in danger. Wu is a little annoyed his student disobeyed, but he sees Zane’s logic and knows he meant well. Things continue on, feelings start to develop, and the timeline starts to move.
The ninja will occasionally interact while in civvies, but again, they don’t know who is who so they interact differently than when under the mask. Kai thinks jay is annoying and doesn’t like him spending so much time around Nya but he LOVES blue and thinks his same jokes and mannerisms are silly. After the reveal of Zane, he starts tutoring Nya which Kai feels soooooo normal about. Jay goes from having a crush on Nya to becoming her best friend, as they have late night talks and both discover maybe they don’t feel romance in the typical way, and definitely not for each other. Poor Cole is just hanging out in the woods :(
Things skip to around Home and Snakebit, Zane finding the bounty is just as angsty but more so bc it’s stretched over a few days, and he misses his tutoring sessions with Nya which worries THE HELL out of all of them. Wu likely stays with Kai and Nya, Kai telling her his home burned down and he needs a place to stay for the moment. I imagine they see the falcon flying around and follow him to the bounty, where Zane is waiting with a meal for them :]
Jay is revealed next in snakebit! He’s a mamas boy and tells his parents everything, and they’re supportive!! So they don their most clever disguises and go for a visit!! They’re so excited to see their boy they call him by name, so oops!! They get to meet Jay AND his parents!! Kai breaks for a while bc the guy he likes is also the guy he dislikes, and he’s weird for a while until he notices Jay doing the same cute things he did as Blue and
When Jay visits Kai and Nya next, Kai is a lot more civil if not a little embarrassed.
In the snake king, Kai learns Nya is Samurai X, and she ALSO learns Kai is one of the ninja. He keeps the others’ identities secret because it’s not his place to tell her.
We eventually get to tick tock, Zane regains his memory and unlocks his true potential, but he’s a little more sad after, because now he knows theres no one out there looking for him. He falls into the comforting embrace of his teammates. In once bitten twice shy, instead of confessing to Nya, Jay confesses to Cole, Kai, and Zane. This is when they start dating!!
Cole is next!! He’s revealed during his true potential episode. Instead of having his teammates help him win the cup, he decides to go at it alone but in some way or another, the others decide to join in and help him win. Cole reveals himself backstage after the concert when he confronts his dad, and Pythor, seeing that one of the ninja’s parents is in the open and vulnerable, takes his chance to drop all of the equipment onto Cole and Lou. They’re okay of course, but it ended up being quite the scare.
Kai is last to his potential AND his reveal. He knows Nya is capable and that she can handle herself in danger, but the incident with Cole and his dad has him afraid for what Pythor could do to her, his only baby sister. He’s also nervous that if they knew the true him, they wouldn’t like him as much as they do now. All his fear causes him to distance himself from his boyfriends, he loves them deeply, but the danger of it all makes him question whether he should keep being a ninja. All the fear and doubt and his rush to reach his true potential is a very bad combo of feelings that culminate in the volcano with Lloyd.
He feels that he can prove himself worthy of being green ninja and that he’s good enough for his bf’s by getting the fangblade, bc if not for him being special, what the point of keeping him around? Idk it’s a lotta self doubt like in the actual show but gayer.
He hears Lloyd call out to him, realizes what’s truly important, and reaches his true potential. Everyone is waiting on the ship with bated breath as the volcano explodes, too shocked to feel any emotion at the moment. And then they emerge!! In a ball of fire, Kai and Lloyd land on the deck. Maybe the lava caught his mask, maybe his fire subconsciously burned it away, but Kai is revealed in all his blazing glory to the shock and awe of his boyfriends.
Lloyd runs to his dad, and Kai is dog piled by his boys, green ninja stuff happens, and that’s basically the end!! I’m sure I didn’t include every little detail but this is basically the gist!! :]

An older doodle for u too <3

reply roundup!
I've done basically nothing but lay down and be exhausted since kirb2k over 2 months ago, but I did at least get the kirbox orders fulfilled. I have an immunology appointment in another 2 1/2 months and maybe they might do something to help me feel better. (it's a bad time. I know it seems to be most of what I talk about, but it is kind of all-consuming. even this roundup wore me out.)
also there are sometimes comments that make me smile but I don't have anything to add to them so I just read them and smile and don't put them in the roundups, but I promise I do see them all, like the many yeehaws (and yes haws and heehaws) for [cowboy kirb] <3
on [the last roundup] @hive-heart said: Hope things get better, kirby guy 💕 thanks for the reply :) also yeah! Sitting by the window during a storm is quite nice
they haven't lol, but thank you!

Oooo can we get the same yandere master thing with sieg but with Mauser, Springfield and ghost?
I... can't find the original ask, but I'll do my best here! :`D
. . .
Mauser
He doesn't quite notice that your behavior isn't normal. In Mauser's mind, it makes perfect sense for you to be possessive over him, and to want to control his behavior down to the smallest details. You're his Master, after all, and you decide how he's best used. Even once he figures out that you're being strange, it really doesn't bother him. If anything, the obsessive tendencies make Mauser feel wonderfully owned— and he's grateful for that.
Springfield
He's a little scared of the way you're acting, but... he should probably be grateful that you're being so kind to him at all. Springfield knows that he's not worth much. His Master going out of their way to dote on him is a blessing he doesn't deserve. Even though he's starting to get very, very afraid of what you might do to him (or others), that same fear makes Springfield unable to say anything against you. He just quietly, obediently accepts it.
Ghost
At the same time that he knows something is wrong here, he's getting so much attention from you that it's hard to make himself question it. You're so doting— what does it matter if you're equally possessive and eerily fixated on him? Even if other people get hurt, when he gets to be spoiled like this, don't they deserve to all be cursed? Ghost starts to get weird about the whole thing pretty quickly in an attempt to rationalize what you're doing.

Hellooo!!!
I have a request so what if Eddie and reader go to starcourt to visit Steve and Robin at Scoops but after they get their ice cream reader notices a wedding dress shop and asks if she can try the dresses for fun. When trying on the dresses Eddie gives multiple reactions but when reader puts on “thee” dress he is at a loss of words and begins to tear up because he can only imagine how beautiful she would look on their wedding someday…
(p.s. your writing is so good i love your fics ! 🤍)
Tysm!!!!
It was a lazy boring Saturday. That’s how you had ended up perched in the back booth of Scoops Ahoy, you and Eddie successfully annoying Steve and Robin as you ate your ice cream. It had been a few weeks since you had seen either of your friends, being stuck between college and your job, but it was nice to catch up.
“You two gotta get the hell out of here,” Steve said jokingly, pointing to Eddie who was sitting cross legged ontop of the table as he tossed random ice cream toppings into yours and Robin’s mouth., “You’re scaring all my customers away.”
“We are?” You laughed, “Maybe they’re just too lame.”
“Yeah, well, still.” Steve sighed, “Movie’s tonight?”
“Sure,” the three of you agreed with a nod.
“Great. Now, get out. Robin, there’s toppings to be sorted.” Steve said, automatically back in his manager persona.
“Oooo. King Steve has spoken,” Eddie said mockingly as he slid off the table, wiggling his fingers dramatically as Steve swatted at him with his hand towel.
You laughed at the two of them, fingers linking in with Eddie’s as the two of you walked out of the ice cream parlor.
“We got about three hours to kill.” Eddie said as he glanced at his watch, “No need to drive all the way back home if we’re meeting back here for the movies.”
“Hmmm,” you said, your eyes scanning the surrounding shops.
You grinned to yourself when your eyes settled on the small wedding dress shop. You always had a penchant for playing dress up when you were a kid...what would the difference be as an adult now? Maybe it would even throw a little hint to Eddie…
“C’mon,” you said as you pulled him in the direction of the wedding gown shop.
“Uh...ya getting married?” Eddie asked, “Ya got another boyfriend I don’t know about?”
“Maybe,” you flashed him a smile.
He laughed to himself and followed you in, walking through the rows with you. The dresses were breathtaking. Eddie watched as your hand drifted over the intricate details as you walked, his fingers tracing along after yours.
“I love this dress,” you said, toying with the body of the white dress in front of you, "And this one, too."
“Try 'em on,” Eddie shrugged, “We got time, for sure.”
And so you did, stepping back into the small changing room. You changed out of your clothes and slid the first gown on. It was a big puffy dress with puffy arms. You looked at yourself and giggled before scooping the dress up and walking out, twirling around in front of Eddie, laughing at the shocked look on his face.
"I think the best thing about that dress is you," Eddie snorted, "Are you even in there behind all this fabric?"
You tried on a few more dresses, all of different shape. The ball gown dresses were funny enough. You were just about done when there was a knock on the door and Eddie poked his head in, sliding you a dress.
"Try this one on," Eddie said softly before shutting the door behind him.
The dress was sleek and silk, a creamy white color, with beading and gems along the body. It was beautiful. And as you stared at yourself in the mirror, you even felt beautiful in it.
Stepping out of the dressing room, your eyes locked on Eddie's. The look he gave you was enough to melt you. His mouth hung open slightly and you heard the breath leave his body. The way he looked at you made you feel so beautiful.
Once he snapped out of his awe, he stood up and walked over to you. You could see the tears in his brown eyes as he looked over you, his eyes drinking in the sight.
"You're...holy shit." Eddie said breathlessly, slightly shaking his head in disbelief, "...so beautiful, Y/N. Jesus."
"You really think so?" Your eyes locked on his as he cupped your face in hs hands.
"I know so," he smiled, "And the day we get married...you've already found your dress, babe."

The Master of the Tower, my Rolan story, is finally finished! Here's a semi-nsft passage. The rest is porn. 🤭😉
In the morning, the two of you are sitting in the small dining room, having breakfast. Rolan had repaired and cleaned the garments that he had destroyed the night before, and also conjured water for you and he to bathe. His nimble fingers had smoothed your messy hair, braiding it almost as nicely as Astarion could have done. Then he had dressed himself in a crisp, respectable robe and twisted his own brown locks into his usual fussy knot, covering his large ears. You are currently nibbling at bread and fruit, occasionally trying to feed bits to the protesting tiefling, when a soft, feminine giggle attracts your notice, simultaneously with a deeper male voice.
“Well, thank the gods for that.”
You look up to see Lia and Cal standing in the doorway, grinning. They approach you both and Lia kisses the top of your head. “So, are we sisters yet?” Cal slaps Rolan on the back rather hard, making the bigger man choke on the tea he was sipping to cover his embarrassment. The siblings sit, Lia on your right and Cal on Rolan’s left, and they both put their elbows on the table, propping their chins on their hands and staring at Rolan as he tries to ignore them and finish his breakfast. They do it for so long that a bright flush creeps up the wizard’s cheeks until he’s brick red to his hairline. Eventually he huffs in exasperation.
“What do you two degenerates want, details? Well, you’re not getting them. This is all your fault, you know. Especially yours,” he stabs a finger at Lia. “I know you peeked. That night on the beach. You followed me.”
Lia gasps and then giggles, “how did you know that?”
“Ha!” Rolan narrows his eyes, “you just told me, brat.” Lia reddens further as well but still laughs.
Cal stretches. “I don’t need details. Just confirmation. Tav, my brother has been utterly atrocious to live with these past few weeks. More so than usual, I mean. He’s always been a cranky ass, but the pining, the sighing, the staring into space. Please tell us you’re going to stay so he can go back to being the weird jerk he’s always been. Maybe you could even give him some extra attention so he’ll actually be tolerab… Ow!”
The younger tiefling rubs his side where Rolan had dug his knuckles between Cal’s ribs, and you feel a little tickle on your neck. Lia’s delicate clawed fingers are pulling down the collar of your blouse a little… “Oooo Cal look at this. Here’s your confirmation. I thought I saw a bruise but… oh dear, are these teeth marks? Rolan, you naughty thing, you didn’t have to vandalize the poor girl.” Rolan growls and reaches across you to grab at his sister, nearly falling into your lap, but she dodges away. “Don’t crush her as well, clumsy.”
Cal looks and whistles low, “Marking your territory, brother?”
You blush as well, but you find that you’re enjoying the attention. Cal and Lia are exuberant and a little obscene, but after years of horny sailors trying to reach down your blouse, this seems like adoration to you. They love Rolan and are obviously happy for you both. “I asked him to,” you say quietly, hiding your grin with another sip of tea.
“Did you do it too, Tav? Do you match?” Rolan tries to slap Cal’s hand away when he reaches for the collar of the tasteful robe, but he’s too slow. “Ha, she did, there’s another… wait.” He looks at you, then at his sister, lowering his voice conspiratorially. “There’s only two marks here. Unless Tav became a vampire recently… show me your teeth, Tav.”
Rolan groans and sweeps aside his cup and plate, dropping his forehead onto the table with a clack of horns, “I knew I should have healed those. Now I’ll never hear the end of it.” You giggle and grin at Cal, showing your smooth, even teeth.
“Oooooo really,” Lia leans her chin on her hand again, “well now I have to know more. Did you two tie him down or did he go willingly?” She answers her own question. “Oh, willingly of course, my brother was really interested in Astarion before he started tying himself in knots over you, Tav. He’s always been fascinated with vampire bites. Always wanted to try it for himself.”
“How did you know that?” Rolan glances up from the table, danger in his eyes.
Lia sticks out her tongue. “You just told me. How did he do it, Tav? Lying down like with you?”
“This is not an appropriate topic of conversation,” Rolan says, huffy, straightening up and smoothing his hair.
You giggle, having had engaged in far less appropriate conversations in your life, “Astarion sat in his lap.” Rolan looks at you, horrified.
“Oh gods, not you too.” He leans back and pushes the heels of his hands into his eyes. “I’m never going to survive the three of you.”
Lia starts giggling again, “did you keep your pants on or…” but then the little tiefling shrieks as Rolan shoots to his feet, knocking over his chair and chasing her out of the room, while she yells about a vampire three-way over her shoulder. Your own chair teeters, and you grab at the table before crashing to the floor, laughing hysterically.
Cal is laughing too when he comes to pick you up off the floor as you wipe your streaming eyes. “I’m sorry about that, Tav. But we have to tease him or he starts to get depressed. He does actually like it. It lets him feel superior.”
You compose yourself and nod. “I know. I never had siblings, but I can see what it might be like. Besides, I’m learning tiefling body language, and his tail was swishing like a puppy’s when he ran out of here.”
Cal grins. “Good job, exactly right. But I hope you don’t have to wonder much longer. You didn’t answer Lia’s question. Are you going to be our sister?”
You blush, “well he did ask me if… but he was kind of… having a moment, at the time.”
“Oh, he’ll follow through. My brother tries to act mysterious, but he only says nasty things without meaning them. He wants to marry you. And if he gets cold feet Lia will tie him up and drag him there.”
There is another delighted shriek, followed by a string of high-pitched Infernal curses in the hall as Cal hugs you. “Welcome to the family, sis.”
“Hey, hands off, this one is mine.” Rolan’s smooth voice rumbles from the doorway and you untangle yourself from his brother, failing miserably to look penitent as the bigger tiefling approaches. “Besides, your sister is hanging from a lamp hook ten feet off the ground. You’d better go save her before she burns Tav’s ears with her language.”
“I’ve heard worse,” you giggle, “at least, I think so. I have no idea what she’s saying.”
Rolan grips your chin lightly and shakes his head, “what am I going to do with you?” but he’s smiling and you feel your heart speed up.
“I can think of a few things!” Cal dodges as Rolan picks up a roll from the table without touching it and sends it flying at his brother’s head. But he keeps those glowing eyes on you, lowering his head with a tiny growl. Then he takes your hand and starts pulling you out of the room. “Hey, where are you going? What am I going to do about Lia?”
Rolan snorts, “get a ladder. I have to go teach my incorrigible girlfriend some manners.”
You are trying desperately to hide your mirth as the tall man pushes you through the doorway of his bedroom, “I’m sorry, Rolan. They are just so cute. I was having fun. I can control myself if it bothers you. Probably.” But you are suddenly being lifted off your feet and a hungry mouth is being pressed to yours. He kisses you breathless before finally releasing you, holding you against him when he senses your wobbly knees.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m used to being nagged constantly by those two. It’s how they show love. They’re just as mean to each other, but I’m the more amusing target. They’ll do it to you as well, once they figure out your tolerance for abuse. I’m just wondering how to punish you for spilling about Astarion.”
You chortle, “oh, now don’t tell me you’re upset about that. The bite is visible when you move. You’d have healed it if you wanted to keep it a deep dark secret. One might almost think you were proud to be able to pull such a pretty man.”
“Well, you’re the one who pulled him. Or rather, he decided himself, on your behalf. But I think I have an idea. I hope you don’t like this too much.” Then he’s dragging you towards the bed, ignoring your laughing protests as he sits, and your squeal when he tosses you over his lap. You struggle, but without much determination as he snaps the drawstring of your breeches and slides them down to your thighs. His warm clawed hand rubs your bare bottom for a minute, controlling your squirming body before bringing his palm down with a sharp crack on one cheek.

Ask game answers. I’ll put a below the cut thing because I don’t want to force anyone to read or scroll past my blocks of texts of they’re just scrolling for fun pictures in any of the tags. However if you ARE interested in Lucifer-centric angst fics PLEASE consider giving my Ao3 fanfiction “What Time Is It?” a shot! _______________________
3 - Tell me about one of your fics you think is underrated/underappreciated.
Okay, not a Hazbin Hotel or Luci fic (go figure I’ve only posted two and both are pretty well liked) but a Voltron one (again, go figure, the onky other thing I have publish. At least on Ao3). It’s one of the one-shots I have in my collection fic (probably why it’s under-appreciated). It’s called “Notice Me” and I won’t go into too much detail b/c this is definitely NOT the fanbase for it, but basically it’s just some yummy angst, pining, and just Lance feeling like shit after months of being ragged on. With a delicious little panic attack that I had lots of fun writing (there’s nothing wrong with me I swear—)
16 - Is there a type of fic you would never write?
Hmmm… that’s a good question. Definitely nothing that’s like… the really taboo shit like incest or M!preg (sorry y’all I am NOT in the Lucifer birthed Charlie train). Also will probably not, as of right now, ever write a Lucifer ship fic with any canon characters (expect MAYBE Lilith, but even then it won’t be the focus). It’s just… NONE of his ships appeal to me (maybe b/c I just want him so bad but I didn’t say that). And obviously angst is where I live so I probably wouldn’t write anything super smutty. I’ll read it any day of the week, but I’ll stay in my little bubble of giving Lucifer a million mental breakdowns tyvm!
29 - What's your most popular fic?
Gee. I wonder:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
30 - What do you struggle with most when writing?
Hmmm… this is a good question. I think there are a couple main things.
One, trying to fulfill the wishes of my ducklings while also not taking forever w/ certain plotlines. Obviously I’m not gonna please everyone all the time, but I try to include requests pretty soon after I read them if I don’t have a specific plan for them to show up in the future (B/c otherwise I WILL forget).
Two, sometimes motivation is a real bitch man. I’ll have all these ideas floating around, then open my fic and realize I can do ANY of that yet because I’ve gotta finish writing this specific part that I’m stuck on how to make it flow right. Also this is gonna sound weird but sometimes I think I straight up zone out while writing. Like if I’m bored, I’ll write and convince myself that everything I just put on the page was trash B/c I didn’t absorb any of it.
Three, proof-reading. I love it and hate it. I need to do it B/c if you’d SEEN some of the whack ass typos I’ve made you’d been pointing, laughing, stomping me into the dirt. But it also takes so much time. It’s much better in the tummy angsty chapters where I’m genuinely excited to read through it again. I’m always so worried about my lacing in certain scenes, whether it’s too fast, too slow, etc. Though, I have noticed, I am a LOT easier on myself when I proof-read in the morning or afternoon as opposed to at night. Which is a little strange but whatever.
32 - What's a fic you'd love to write, but probably never will?
Oooo… there are a LOT of like… ‘head fanfictions’ that have been kicking around up here for YEARS that I know I’ll never get around to B/c like… ugh. Here are a few that are Lucifer/Hazbin Hotel based:
Cast of HH reacts to the show fic. Okay, call me cringe but I actually eat those types of fics up and there is NONE out there. I just want people to react to how BAD Lucifer’s living and mental situation is right now and coddle him, is that so bad? But I know I never will because those kinds of fics take SO! MUCH! WORK!
When I’m not thinking of this fic, there’s this other general concept that gets rolled around with Lucifer basically like… sacrificing himself for both Heaven and Hell in front of like… everyone. He lives in the end b/c like they all cliché stand in a circle and sing and their ‘good’ energy comes together to help him. But like it basically gets heaven and everyone to see him in a new light and realize just how much he ISN’T the monster he’s been pained to be. And what rlly hurts is me imagining his ‘last words’ to be something like: “I didn’t fuck it up this time.” Because. You know. Angst.
OOOO and one where like… it’s set somewhere in the future where Heaven is actually being nice and giving the Hazbin Hotel a chance. Multiple sinners have been redeemed at this point and the angels are down in hell having like a celebration at how far things have come. Lucifer feels both jealous that HE will never get that chance, and just absolutely hates himself because like ALL THESE SINNERS got the chance to go back, but he’s too horrible of a person to be able to have that forgiveness. Lots of feels that I actually DON’T wanna say too much about B/c after WTiI is finished I may want to try and make this happen. I’m only putting it under THIS ask because… u know… I have no clue where my headspace will be if/when WTiI does reach its final chapter. ________________
Thank you for sending in the asks! These were so fun to respond to!

for the fanfic writer asks!!
3, 11, 13, 19, 20, 24, 33, 39 (bc your fics drive me insane and i need more of your incredible works), 42, 45, 69 and 74!!!
sorry that i put loads, just choose whatever ones you want to answer out of the ones i’ve asked <3
YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO ANSWER THEM ALL BESTIE
3- ok so my process is basically non-existent, but i'll walk you through it anyway. so i'll have an idea for a scene literally at any point. sometimes it can be a single sentence or sometimes it can be a vague concept, but i always write it down. if i have my phone it's almost always going in my notes app. from there, i just kind of expand on the idea as it develops when i get back to my laptop. i tend to write the exciting and important scenes first in a very rough fashion, and then go back to fill in the blanks. then i go back and polish by combing over it for grammar mistakes and adding a few more details. that's pretty much it!
11- OOO! i'll do three for hamilton and three for jcs to appease both sides
FAV HAMILTON FICS AT THE MOMENT ARE a more perfect union by holograms (thanks to crys for introducing me to THIS), the monticello furlough by michelle_a_emerlind, and death of a nation by cyanspica
THEN HONORABLE MENTIONS!! LITERALLY ANYTHING BY YOU, CECE, AND XEN. I EAT THOSE UP EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.
FAV JCS FICS AT THE MOMENT ARE obviously the incomparable ruined ambition series by @solarflicker (which i literally trip over myself to go read every time i get the email that it's been updated), picking up the palm fronds by onetrueobligation, and the cup that can't be filled by @ohsoldier (literally the good omens/jcs crossover of my dreams)
SO MANY MORE TOO!! BOTH FANDOMS ARE FILLED WITH SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE! GO SUPPORT YOUR FANFIC WRITERS PEOPLE. FANFIC WRITERS AND FANARTISTS ARE THE ONES WHO KEEP FANDOM ALIVE.
13- "write for yourself, your dick, and your six closest friends." SHARED BY @fireballdance
19- my most used rating tag is mature, my most tagged ship is hamilton/laurens, my most tagged character is hamilton (obv lol), and my most used additional tag is hurt/comfort
20- i use a lot of rain imagery i think. actually i use a lot of weather imagery bc i'm annoyinggg. and then ofc i use aspects of my trauma in most of my fics (even ones you wouldn't suspect) but no one really would pick up on that since y'all don't know, but themes of abuse are certainly littered through out. obviously biblical imagery, too. i can't think of any phrases, SO IF YOU KNOW OF SOME THAT YOU NOTICED I'VE USED A LOT LEMME KNOW.
24- the worst advice i've ever gotten is if you're stuck, delete everything and start over. absolutely not. you can start over, but i wouldn't ever delete anything. even if i don't use lines in one fic, i can always recycle and put it somewhere else. NEVER DELETE. YOU'LL REGRET IT. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
33- YES I WANT TO BE PUBLISHED. i have so many original novel ideas and i want to write southern gothic literature so badly. i doubt it will ever happen but that's the dream. i would also really like to write my own plays :))) but for now, i'm sticking to universes and characters i'm already familiar with
39- OOOO I HAVE SO MANY WIPS BC OF WHUMPTOBER (currently have a little bit over 30k words written 👀👀 and that's not even counting the kink stuff BUT I'M NOT GOING INTO THAT WITH YOU BC YOU ARE A MINOR) BUT LEMME PICK ONE I THINK YOU'LL LIKE
Philip’s forehead burned under his hand.  Alexander felt something in his chest and stomach plummet to what seemed like hell. He remembered the feeling of this. He remembered how hot his mother’s flesh had seared as she shivered against him, her arms wrapped tight and secure as she hummed shakily to him. He remembered how she soothed her hand over his hair as she whispered te quiero over and over.   He remembered her going still and cold. 
42- THE LAST FIC I READ WAS calm you and anoint you (envy) by a_trick_or_two_with_lepers AND ABSOLUTELY. I LOVE IT. GO READ IT RIGHT NOW.
45- I OBVIOUSLY WANT TO BREAK MY READERS' HEARTS. IT IS MY LIFE'S MISSION. I NEED Y'ALL ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED WITH MY FICS
69- hmmm i'm always embarrassed when i post smut but i'm not really embarrassed that it exists. and the fics i were embarrassed about have long been deleted from the internet SO NOT REALLY ANY OF THEM I GUESS
74- if it's a fic posted in an obscure musical fandom about trauma and has my long-winded ass writing style, it's probably me :)
THANKS FOR THE ASK I HAD A LOT OF FUN ANSWERING THEMMM. ILYYY MWAH 💙

@marscats37 - (in response to this horrific statement I’ve just made🤪)
here’s the thing - everyone in the Elysium palace knows the truth.* to this day no one on Asgard does.
edit after I finished writing this and sat back and looked at what I even said; hi this got way away from me and barely answered your question and turned into an essay about Elysium!Thor. oops! WELL!!!
*actually- I don’t know if Maci knows the specific details? She wasn’t privy to his memories back then and they hated each other up until recently so. hmmm. oh I’ll revisit that thought. Anywayyy
and now I’m putting it behind a cut cause I got lONG AGAIN AAHHHH. cw ofc for child death and abuse mentioned ig and also mentions of past suicide attempts-
So — first of all obviously elysium!Thor does exist if I haven’t made that clear, he’s. there’s no real changes of note except for probably what I’m about to say lmfao so take that information as you will. though he hasn’t been in canon for QUITE some time — do we all know that Thor came with him when Loki ended up in Elysium!? Loki’s Memory Theater had continued all the way from early childhood up through the events of 2011/2012, presented all laid out to Tory, Epi, Thor, and Pasi when Loki had first come, the communal attempt to speedrun-therapy him. Together they all SAW undeniably everything that had happened, including to all the kids. the first half of this was-,, even before the twins were killed,, I mean just such clear insane cruelty that Thor like. first refused to believe it was real?!,
there was a whole nother altercation where Thor approached Loki like this CANNOT actually be things that have happened to you, these gods are planting images in your head, if this was all real I would have noticed I would have stopped it :( to which of course Loki went ballistic like you DIDNT notice and you DIDNT stop it and how dare you accuse my MEMORIES of being lies— Tory found out that this fight had happened when Loki was suddenly moodier than normal and Thor was stomping around outside and Tory was SO FURIOUS at Thor — wait wait I’m scrolling back to 2012 - oooo we get a real quote from the end of this argument, quoth Tory:
“You bring him back, he'll run away again. And next time, he might not end up here. He'd rather die than go back. […] He's already tried to kill himself. Do you want him to die? […] Then you will stay here for him, take his memories as truth, and understand everything that he feels. If you have any objection, get the fuck out of my kingdom.”
hey I love Tory so much. Also worth mentioning that Loki did overhear this entire conversation in the action of moodily eavesdropping of course. one point scored for Elysium wowie
so after being successfully snarled back into his place by Tory who was also on fire by the end of that little chat Thor returned with a slightly more open mind and watched in rising horror as he realized what their father had done to him under his nose. And then Vali and Nari. the death of Vali and Nari was viewed in Memory Theater but cut short - Loki had BEGGED them not to play through it, and when Epi and Tory insisted, since he also refused to talk about it, he’d just shut down. None of them were prepared for how horrible it was, the memory of walking into the scene of death, and it was the only time through all of this sideshow that nightmare god himself Epi shattered the dream in horror, everyone waking back up in hysterics. because of this— and this is crucial — they did not get to SEE Loki finding out how this had happened.
by this point Tory (&co.) had more than proven themselves to Loki. please reread that above paragraph again that Tory had unflinchingly unhesitatingly growled into Thor’s face, when Loki had been living in the palace for like three weeks only. And so Tory & co found out the specific details of how they’d died when Loki, in an actual conversation right after they’d watched ^that, told them.
Loki did not include Thor in that conversation.
After, he was witness to the other bits and pieces surrounding their death, plus what he remembered himself - viewing now the horrifying conversation Loki had with Odin after the fact, to Thor’s own memory of scraping his brother off the throne room floor. Thor’s… a fuckin ditz but he’s not a COMPLETE idiot??? The context clues were very clear that Odin had had.,, somethinG..,, to do with their deaths the way he’d had something to do with everything but Loki had no desire to share the depths of that truth with him. For what purpose???????? especially now??? With every intention of leaving all thoughts of Asgard dead and gone forever, why spur Thor to lay siege upon the whole place on his behalf (this COULD have been the knowledge to do it too.)? Forget it all, Loki’s renounced all parents and birthplaces. There’s no point. Better to keep distance forever in an actual happily ever after. (Plus then he got Vali and Nari back ANYWAY).
so… no, no one really knows, even now - just Thor. A little. Just Thor looking at his father with a touch more disgust, but knowing also that Loki is hidden forever, and defending him could mean exposing him. Odin has.,, experienced no consequences ever for what he’s done. In the eyes of Asgard, the last thing anyone remembers Loki doing was going insane and trying to murder his own family including his own brother and then vanishing only to reappear trying to take over a planet like a wackjob so STILL no one thinks very highly of Loki. He caused endless problems, gave birth to monsters, was moody and dangerous, betrayed everyone he knew, and is now gone forever and hopefully dead. Poor Odin AllFather didn’t deserve the burden of dealing with him. And they all lived happily ever after.
This is how Loki prefers it, though.
Yknow, once the ghosts of the twins were brought to Elysium, Thor and Loki’s Elysium reconciliation did take place - apologies from Thor, Loki’s guard lowering one single time into heaps of tears and clinging in a heap in the hallway, before Loki peeled himself back away from him. Closure, at least. Eventually Thor did leave, around after Fjoer was born, knowing that Loki was in good hands and knowing that Loki was., actually happy?? finally???
Within the context of Current Elysium - Loki considers himself estranged from Thor and has no desire to rekindle a closer relationship, it’s like. First of all he’s fucking annoying to everyone in the palace and to him lmao. Most importantly. but second of all like,, the previous stages of Loki’s life and upbringing and childhood and past were so traumatizing that Thor’s entire existence is?? tangled up in that? like,, it’s Painful, unfortunately, to be with him, as being with him comes with those memories of [GESTURES, SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS]. this… is something that Loki’s sad about if he thinks too hard about it but would never, ever admit. He also would never ever admit that he keeps tabs on where Thor is at all times and has saved every one of the one million letters Thor has sent him, even though hes never once responded. But he keeps them.
The last of his kids Loki allowed Thor to wvwn meet were Eisa and Einmyria - and ONLY because after several years of no contact, he’d ambushed Thor in a panic in one single night to help him get to Fen & Jör and free them to prevent ragnarok. The literal only person he could count on to help him on a QUEST - cause the kids were being born NOW right now!!! and there was no time to waste - and Thor agreed to help him!!! ….in exchange for getting to meet his new nieces pretty please please please please🥺🥺🥺 after that- back to estrangement - lmao I’m pretty sure Libby thinks Loki is an only child 🫣
SO, to answer your question. yes the people Loki is closest to - the residents of the palace - all know the truth. Anyone else - he’s given up on long ago, and his old life is dead and buried to him now. Odin - head high, no regrets, father of the year forever.
PHEW!

oooo part six !!!! ive honestly been having a really rough time all around for the last week-ish and every time i see you updated it makes my day better :)
the fact that garett was able to see through her down to her exact reason so easily🤨🤨i’m a bit nervy !! will this come back to bite her in the ass ? is he gonna figure out it’s lando and blackmail her more ?
the comments on the ig post are suuuuper interesting and i love how they show like every possible reaction fans/people would have to what’s been going on !!!
lando’s radio silence ever since his rude ass phone call🤨he better grovel as FUCK dawg bc he’s sleeping on the couch rn fr
as always, looking forward to the next part !!! and i hope you had a fantastic valentine’s day !🫶
I am actually very glad that my writing can help you feel better! It seriously makes my day knowing that. I'm so sorry that things have been rough for you lately. My inbox is always open if you need a friend to talk to. Hopefully things get better for you soon, but in the meantime I hope that my writing can continue to help!
But yes! Garrett is a bit more perceptive than originally thought 😉. He knows how people work and our dear Y/N is no exception to that. Up until this point I had been portraying Garrett as a bit of a typical schoolyard bully, where he isn't the brightest but he has one or two points of leverage that give him the upper hand. I'm very excited to start flushing out the depths of his character and reveal just how smart and perceptive he really is━ I always love a complex antagonist.
As far the comments, in the beginning, Garrett was the only one who benefitted from the fake relationship, and our dear Y/N was left with the short end of the stick, which I mirrored━ fans praising Garrett but hating on Y/N for no other reason than her association with him. Now, the benefits of the fake relationship are becoming a bit more evenly split, and this is mirrored again with the switch up some of the fans are having in their opinions of Y/N━ defending her a bit more against the negativity, calling her beautiful, etc. It's a small detail that isn't really noticeable (nor important, to be fair) unless it's pointed out, but I was always the kid that used to find symbolism in every detail of a book, and so I like incorporating small details with deeper meaning into my own works. So, little literature geek moment for you there, haha!
And Lando is definitely sleeping on the couch at present 🤭. Lad's got a whole lot of apologizing to do if he wants to get back into our dear Y/N's good graces.
But thank you for your kind words! I'm very glad you enjoyed this part, and I'm similarly very glad that you're looking forward to the next! 🫶 Also, I had a very wonderful Valentine's Day and I hope you did as well!

“Munson’s Chariot”
Eddie munson x f!bestie!reader
No warnings, except maybe some swears and smoking
Tumblr media
I’m down bad for the goofy boy and now you have to suffer
“Look here, we’ve got the freaky sisters”
That was the name given to your group. Who’d have thought listening to Mötley crüe and wearing a little eyeliner would have branded your friend group in such a way. In freshmen year you were just the nerds and losers, as sophomores you were branded the coven after they found out you played dnd and With the rise of the satanic panic in your junior year you were called satan’s sisters. Now starting your senior year they chose the “freaky sisters” as Jessica had slept with Brad over summer break- who then told the whole school all the gory details. Granted your friendship with Eddie “the freak” Munson didn’t help your social standing, or the basketball teams ability to think of original insults.
“I wouldn’t mind hitting that, but I might get a curse put on me”
Head buried in your locker, Rummaging for due math homework through the sea of empty chip wrappers, cigarette cartons and detention slips, you nearly didn’t hear Jason’s poor attempt at bullying or the laughs that follows from his meathead friends. “Fuck off Jason” Jessica hurled back whilst your friends shake their hands and chant nonsense at them.
Finally finding the missing homework you slam your locker shut putting an end to their antics. You muster the most innocent voice you could “I don’t know girls, I think he’s kind of pretty”. Met with confused stares from your friends and a shit eating grin from Jason “well why wouldn’t you” he teases switching gears at the prospect of getting his dick wet “you know you’d be hot if you ditched all that goth crap y/n”. You’d noticed a crowd forming, eager to see some drama before first period. Spotting a few familiar faces, a particular metal head who’d walked in on time for once caught your eye. Sending eddie a grin through the sea of students you tried to clue him in to your antics.
Acting coy you press your back to the lockers “yeah his nose is pretty” you say to them whilst looking at the basketball team, earning a confused look from Munson who’d only caught the second half of your interaction. “He used to look like shit… but since I slammed his face into that locker last year he doesn’t look like a knock-off Rob Low anymore”. You punctuated this by slamming your locker again a couple times before adding “guess I did Chrissy a favour”, with a smirk.
Seeing Jason’s face fall back into the glare he reserved for hurling insults was priceless and the Oooo’s and unmistakable chuckle from Eddie swelled your ego. “How much did it set daddy back to have your nose reset?” You quip with your new confidence, but before he could respond the bell rang prompting the mass of students to filter off to their first classes. Seeing a chance to slip away for a cigarette before history you shoot Pamala a look to say ‘same me a seat’ before heading out.
Perched on the bike rack, you slip a camel between your lips, and rummage in your leather bomber for your lighter. Before you could find it a scuffed silver lighter appears in front of you, attached to none other than Eddie munson. Looking pleased with himself he sat next to you lighting his own, dressed in his usual battle vest/jacket combo and a hellfire shirt tucked underneath.
“Not ditching me before ms O’Donnell’s class are we sweetheart?” Asking with a mock pout
“Wouldn’t dream of it munson” you respond with the same false innocence you’d used on Jason
“That was quite a scene you caused, almost putting my dramatics to shame”
“I do have a knack for beating you at your own game” you tease referencing your victory in last years hellfire campaign. “You still owe me ice cream for beating you y’know” you add through puffs of smoke.
“Your right young hero, I must honour my debt to such a pretty lady” he almost bellows in his voice reserved for ‘Eddie the banished’, “Fuck ms O’Donnell we’ll go now, my chariot awaits”

It’s time to have fun and gush over your works! Post up to three scenes from your story/stories that you love and talk about them! :D
Oooo thank you, this should be fun!
They each were reading; Malon had a book on archery and she wasn’t able to make out anything of the foreign Hylian displayed on the spines of the others. She subtly glanced up every now and then to see that while Four and Legend had started out on opposite sides of the couch, they both kept shifting their weight so they had eventually scooted next to each other. By the time their elbows were touching, Malon realized that Four had not turned a page in over five minutes. He kept squeezing his eyes shut with a pained scowl, and finally slipped a bookmark in between his current pages. Malon put her book aside as well, standing when Four did. Legend looked annoyed at the second time his brother had left his side that day but stubbornly kept reading.
“Are you feeling all right, hon?” Malon intercepted Four and reached out to feel his forehead with the back of her hand. Like Wild had the day before, Four flinched slightly at the touch. Unlike Wild, he refused to meet her eyes and pulled back on his own.
“I’m fine. Just a headache is all. I’ll go upstairs and try to rest a bit.” Four explained in a hushed voice, walking past her towards the stairs.
“Okay then, I hope you feel better soon.” Malon called, equally hushed, then returned to her chair. She and Legend spent a few minutes pretending to read, her with increasingly frequent glances at the stairs and him with slowly curling shoulders due to the lack of physical contact.
-Mom of Four
A lot of thought went into every bit of this story, and I had fun hiding tons of little details. At first, Malon had a book about gardening but it just didn't feel right. Then I had a "duh!" moment and switched it to archery to reference that one doodle. And hopefully you noticed Legend in the background: he's very subtle about it but he also spends the day quiet, lonely, and more than a little touch-starved. This may be Four's spotlight but you better believe Legend is standing just behind the curtain.
A flash of lightning illuminated the cabin for a split second, and Legend saw Wind’s wide eyes staring straight back. “Gah! Quit that, you little creep,” Legend grumbled. He shifted until his back was turned to Wind. The roll of distant thunder finally reached them, and Legend groaned. “Yeah, nobody’s coming for us tonight.”
“At least we’ve got each other!” Wind chirped.
Legend heard rustling and suddenly felt a warm weight pressing against his back. “Are you…?”
“Shhh,” Wind giggled. With a contented hum, he wiggled a little closer to Legend. The vet rolled his eyes, but allowed himself a secret smile. It was nice, being close to his brother without Warriors or the others teasing them.
“This reminds me of whenever we have to hide from a hurricane on Outset,” Wind mused. “We all sleep in the same house and tell funny stories and eat cookies by lanternlight and-”
A bolt of lightning struck much closer this time, the resulting thunder making Legend flinch involuntarily.
“And,” Wind continued as if he had never been interrupted, “Sometimes we sing.”
Before Legend could process this information, Wind cleared his throat and began to sing.
“Now the rain is coming down hard and it’s getting dark The thunder is cracking and the lightning’s lighting my yard And the shadows seem to lurk, cause this lantern doesn’t work But don’t you worry when the lights go out.”
-A Storm of Fluff
This is from the fluffiest dang thing I've written, and it still surprises me how I managed to chase all the naughty angsty thoughts away. Legend's scared of the storm? Never mind that, Wind's singing a Doodlebops song! That might be one of the best ideas I've had, it's so cute and a fun way to spread some nostalgia. And of course there's Wind going 👁👁 in the dark lol.
Sky sounded guilty, which immediately put Legend on edge. “Since you’re awake, I wanted to warn you before the nurse got back. You, um.” He bit his lip, reluctant to make himself tell Legend the rest.
“Just spit it out,” Legend mumbled, a hint of his normal snark coming through.
Sky gave Legend a faint smile before continuing. “They’re going to give you some medicine. I’m not sure what triggers you the most about being in the hospital, but I’m betting this is one of them. You’re gonna get a couple of shots, okay?”
Legend’s chest tightened more than he would have thought possible given the circumstances, his heart beginning to pound. His head swirled, past and present combining in a mishmash of fear. “Okay,” he gasped, begging his body to calm down.
He had always had a mild aversion to needles, leading him to seek coping techniques and avoid piercing his ears even though just about every other kid at school had at least one pair of earrings. After the accident, though, they had the added bonus of being associated with the pain and confusion of waking up, the intense discomfort of having something buried inside him that didn’t belong, the helplessness of having to endure while knowing that the same treatment hadn’t been able to save her.
“Whoa, Legend, you have to breathe, come on, please-”
Legend was suddenly aware that he was in fact not breathing, mouth slightly open like a fish on land. He forced his congested lungs back into an uneven rhythm, coughing roughly as soon as he regained enough oxygen.
“There you go. It’ll be over fast, right? At least you don’t need an IV,” Sky said, trying to reassure him.
Legend flinched. “Don’t,” he said through gritted teeth, “talk about that.”
Sky stood from his chair, still keeping Legend’s hand in a firm grip. To Legend’s surprise, he sat on the bed, one leg hanging off the edge.
“Is that even allowed?” Legend asked, not wanting his friend to get in trouble. Would he get reprimanded? Banned from his room? Legend quickly extinguished that last thought.
Sky gave him a confident smile. “It is now. Besides, if I’m going to get sick I think it’s too late to prevent it now.”
Someone loudly knocked on the door, making them both jump. Legend’s head whipped around and he stared at the metal handle, eyes wide.
Sky reached over and gently turned Legend’s head back to face him. “Can you be brave for me?” he asked quietly, and Legend gave a small nod. “Good.” Sky pulled Legend closer until his face rested against Sky’s shoulder, unable to see. “It’s better if you don’t look,” Sky whispered as the door opened.
-Sicktember 2022 Day 11
This was a rollercoaster to write, and it was fun to combine pneumonia, Koholint angst, and a fair bit of projection into one prompt fill. Just as Legend thinks he can stand being in the hospital as long as Sky's by his side, he gets warned about his next treatment and gets a panic attack. Sky may not be the best at knowing what to say, but dang it he's going to keep trying until he gets it right. Legend needs it too, his panic has overtaken common sense and his instinct is to look at the equipment even though that's the last thing he should be doing. If Sky wasn't with him, well. Let's just say this would be a far, far worse experience.

14 16 20 23 for the art asks c:
oooo ok!!
14. Digital or traditional?
I prefer to do a traditional sketch to get the groundwork down, then take a picture and draw over it on my phone. So usually both!
If I just want a quick nasty doodle bc I’m bored I’ll stick to traditional. Examples below bc everyone needs to See The Horse

16. Favourite media to work with when drawing traditionally?
Just a pencil and paper. I have this notebook I got from the theatre downtown and the paper is really thin and cheap but it works well for me :3

23. What’s something you hope people notice when looking at your art?
Honestly I’m just glad when people point out anything that they like! I’m always crossing my fingers hoping they don’t notice things, like weird proportions or half-finished rendering (or how I still can’t shade properly).
