RRR (2022, dir S. S. Rajamouli)

things i am not now and likely never will get over from RRR

DRIFT COMPATIBLE BATTLE COUPLE DETECTED

queer? platonic? queerplatonic? who gives a shit no matter what it was it was AWESOME

Colonialism Is Bad Actually: The Musical

the symbolism. holy shit. every BIT of it was absolutely amazing.

wow all the mains in this movie are just, really hot? my poor lil pan heart had a rough time with this one ngl

the fact that someone (likely many someones) watched this movie about Colonialism Is Bad Actually and said 'you know what let's dub this whole thing into Hindi and English and then not give an option to watch it with the original Telugu dialogue' sure was,,,,,,,,, A Choice

THE MUSIC

by which i mean the actual song-and-dance numbers as well as the like story soundtrack all of it is going on my playlist asap

listen the spirk-behind-glass scene is awful. spock and kirk can't even touch. they can hear. they can see. but they cannot touch. and i in my sweet ignorant bliss thought that was as bad as it could get.

tonight i learned that holding someone in your arms through the bars of their cell is so much worse

I watched it on Netflix but i looked it up on a few other ahem websites and on EVERY SINGLE ONE Telugu audio wasn't even an option.

there was not one single chance to tie things together or make a connection or do a setup/payoff or callback that was not taken. not a single one.

everything about this movie is 100% Extra

in short: this movie is a masterclass

aaaaaand the rest below a cut because WOW i have a lot to say actually

which brings me to the dancing oh my gods. not sure i've ever seen such enthusiastic dancing in anything in my entire life. seriously by the final number i was exhausted just watching them

in general, this movie is: stunning

"RAM." "BHEEM." "SEETHA." IT'S ABOUT THE SYMBOLISM.

also this was kinda hilarious because i watched it in hindi [the least disorienting option] and they kept SAYING "ram" but in the subs it was always fuckin RAJU so like. again with the Choices. like seriously what was the thought process there. WAS there a thought process.

FIRE. WATER. STORY. I JUST. I. HELP ME.

i ADORED jenny. with my whole entire heart. she is one of the very BEST examples of Ignorance Is A Privilege and also At What Point Does Ignorance Become Malicious that i have ever ever seen. i loooooooooved it. i mean i hated it a whole lot while it was happening but also i am SO GLAD that now rather than trying to explain all of this to people i can just tell them to watch this movie and then sit them down and be like, so what are your thoughts on jenny's culpability in literally everything?

oh and how you can be a kind person and still do atrocities! like jenny is so sweet and so kind and you just like her so much and yet. and yet.

t h e s y m b o l i s m

i cannot remember the last time i saw a movie so visually stunning. the cinematography is breathtaking. pause on just about any random frame and it could be a movie poster or hanging in an art gallery or what have you.

they also dubbed all the lines that were actually in english? i mean i get it for the characters who spent most of the movie speaking Telugu because you'd need their voices to stay the same through the whole movie yeah fine whatever. but like. they dubbed all the ENGLISH characters, too? like literally dubbed them from english into english??? the dialogue matched their mouths except the timing was veeeery sliiiiiiiightly off but it SOUNDED really obviously dubbed??? Y THO???

HOLY SHIT THE FIGHT SCENES OH MY GODS

Malli. Malli honey i love you. i'm just realizing i don't know if that's your actual name gods damn it. but whatever your name is child i love you.

and did i mention that everyone in this movie is beautiful? like. seriously. Ram and Bheem especially holy SHIT.

Physics Does Not Work Like That And I Do Not Care Because That Was AWESOME: The Musical

oooohhhhh they re-recorded and dubbed the fucking SONGS too. i am so pissed about this y'all i can't even tell you.

oh i want to do a whole entire post that's even longer than this one about the symbolism. hell i could probably do a whole entire post just on the fire/water symbolism even without everything else. It was AMAZING.

okay ram is fire and bheem is water and ram's people go to a valley on the shores of a river and the river is in literally every shot of the village and just ram BEING fire but water being a place of HOME and SAFETY for ram

i'm not crying shut up

MALLI AND HER MOTHER TRY TO REACH EACH OTHER BUT THEY CANNOT TOUCH THROUGH THE GLASS

BHEEM AND MALLI HOLD EACH OTHER THROUGH THE BARS OF HER CONFINEMENT AND HE HAS TO LET GO AND LEAVE HER

BHEEM AND RAM HOLD EACH OTHER THROUGH THE BARS OF HIS CONFINEMENT AND BHEEM RIPS THE DOOR RIGHT OFF

ooooooohhhhhhh and people holding hands right before they part. oh that hurts. all of those hurt so bad.

how every single time people held hands when they parted they always held on till the last possible second EXCEPT FOR RAM'S MOM.

she lifts her hand away from him and then pulls back and it was devastating

Predators Do Not Work Like That But I Do Not Care Because That Was Awesome And Also They Ate A Bunch Of Colonizing Cops: Queercoded Edition (ACAB)

bheem with his arms spread and rope or chains around his wrists or in his hands. i just. the way it flipped back and forth from 'he has the power' to 'he is helpless' to 'he should be helpless and isn't' was just. breathtaking.

AND THEN. AND THEN RAM. CHAINED UP THE SAME WAY. DOING THE SAME GODDAMN THING AND USING THE FACT THAT HE'S CHAINED UP FOR HIS OWN FUCKING PURPOSES BECAUSE HE SAW BHEEM DO IT FIRST DON'T TOUCH ME

okay listen this movie would've been good no matter what but like. they really are just SO beautiful. and. when ram. with like the long hair. and. beard. and like. you know? like. his. his hair. his general. everything. um.

literally at the most emotionally inappropriate moment i literally thought about that whole 'i saw a man so beautiful i started crying' thing and like that almost literally happened literally

Why There Can't Be Any Such Thing As Good Cops: The Romance (ACAB)

and like here's the thing i'm not sure i would've even NOTICED this had it not been for the linguistic chauvinism with the audio and everything but like both of them were hindu and a lot of the symbolism though awesome was also really strongly hindu and i just i don't know nearly enough about hindutva to have any kind of opinion BUT i also feel like maaaaaaaybe there was something a little uncomfy about some of this

oh no wait the suspenders dance. that might've actually been the best part. yeah.

oh all the british actors did SUCH a good job being so eminently punchable

throw cheetahs at each other! and snakes! somehow have upper body strength greater than the force exerted by a 800+ lb tiger lunging! throw those motorcycles! punch through those walls without breaking your fingers! use herbal paste to heal broken bones in a matter of a minutes! break solid stone with nothing but the strength of your shoulders and gay love! i am so here for all of this!!!

Throw Rocks Marble Pillars Live Tigers Cops At Cops: The Movie (ACAB)

i love that jenny felt bad for the poor little girl who got kidnapped enslaved and imprisoned so she. bought her a dress and a toy.

you know, to make her feel better about the whole 'being kidnapped enslaved and imprisoned' thing.

instead of doing, i don't know know, literally anything else. like even just saying to her aunt 'hey this makes me sad' or something. #solidarity.

the violence was violent and the romance was sweet

okay so during the fight at the midpoint like i know that by the end of it ram and bheem are literal fire and water BUT ALSO. Ram enters the scene in a flaming carriage and from that point forward the fountain is in pretty much every shot of bheem. just sayin.

love that lachu (or whatever his name really is) told ram that there was no cure. like yes! you go man! ram may be so beautiful that in forty minutes i'm going to be in tears but that's no reason to tell a cop the truth about anything! you lie to that cop man!

A BRITISH SOLDIER HIT LOKI IN THE HEAD WITH A BRANCH AND THEN STOLE MALLI AWAY

BHEEM HIT RAM IN THE HEAD WITH A BRANCH AND THEN STOLE MALLI AWAY

i know other people got hit in the head with tree branches too but STILL

honestly i really like that ram and bheem were, well, ram and bheem. but i mean im glad they weren't like ram and lakshman or bheem and arjun or something. not even just because that would've been brotherly like i'm glad they weren't arjun and krishna or something either. i liked that their names weren't from the same story. i liked it better this way and i can't even articulate why.

i am never ever ever going to get over the progression of part of bheem's introduction being something going wrong and him holding two ropes (he has all the power) with his arms spread and that being used to show us how incredibly strong he is -> something going wrong and bheem with ropes around his wrists (he shouldn't have any power at all) holding his arms spread and that being used to show how incredibly strong he is in a completely different way

like every time there were ropes or chains in bheem's hands or around his wrists it meant something, and it was a beat in the rhythm of a discernable arc, but now i can't remember all of them gdi

oooohhhhh there was SO much more symbolism i wanted to talk about but it's so late that i have a headache and this post is so long my computer's lagging like two sentences behind so i should stop and go to bed. sigh.

just go watch this movie, okay? pleae? I cannot IMAGINE who would've read this whole thing,m but if you did, just watch it, all rigth? (and if you happen to know of any site - ANY site - where i can watch it in FUKIN TELUGU kindly drop a link please and thank)

DAILY HEADPATS ! ☆

featuring !! — aster arcadia x gn reader.

synopsis !! — aster being the good boyfriend he is by fulfilling your daily needs <3

format !! — imagine.

warnings !! — kinda cheesy ngl.

kyori's note !! — rewrote this like fifteen times 💀 help gfhf-

"aster?"

"hmm?"

"my love. my darling. my sunshine. my pretty boy. my dearest-"

"y/n what's wrong?" aster giggles as your long list of petnames tries to get his attention from the book he had been reading for quite a while now.

"babyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and your whining continues until aster finally decides to put the book away and hop on the bed with you, his hands immediately find your waist under the comfy blanket and pull you close, before kissing your head.

"mwah, i'm sorry love. i didn't mean to ignore you, the chapters always ended on a cliffhanger so i had to read more." aster explains, but he only gets a pout as an answer.

"awww you look so cyuute heh" he giggles shyly once you hide your face in the crook of his neck.

"will. mwah. you. mwah. forgive. mwah. me?"

he gives you sweet short but loving pecks on the forehead in between his sentence, knowing you can't say no to your boyfriend.

looking up with doe eyes, your eyes meet aster's. "you're forgetting something bub" you start, still looking up at him like a lost puppy.

"i'm forgetting something?" aster questions, head tilting to the side. you nod, and oh boy does it take him a long time to realize you haven't had your daily headpats yet !

once the realization hits him, he holds himself back from laughing and places his right hand on your head.

seeing you sigh in comfort made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. "rough day?"

you nodded, snuggling yourself further into his warm sweater.

aster then starts stroking and patting your head lovingly, whispers sweet nothings in your ear to calm you down. occasionally throwing in a few kisses.

"thank you aster" you smile looking up at him, after a few minutes.

"no problem y/n, i need my star to recharge so they could shine"

"aster that was so cheesy-"

"I KNOW ! REN TOLD ME TO DO IT I'M SORRY AAAA-"

you shut his pretty little mouth with a kiss <3

It seems I never posted this here, so…

You may, or may have not, stumbled across this video, but yeah… My Tumblr is kinda dead, so I thought it isn't that bad of an idea to drop this one here as well.

There are some notes in the description, so before you go attack me because I haven't added XX role to YY seiyuu, please read the description 👊😔

Some Tumblr exclusive notes under the cut ✨

youtube

Why Paradox Live?

Yeah, I know I said I was not posting about Paradox Live anymore and considering the fact that the video was posted in October 2023, it seems pretty recent. However, I have been working on this video for AGES. I think that I will end up in somewhere in 2022(?) starting this video. I was still into Paradox Live and I had dreams to introduce people to it. Too bad that I'm a procrastinator… I mean, I could have chosen IDOLiSH7 as starting point as well, but Paradox Live had a bigger cast :)

My motivation to work on it

Guys, I'm not even kidding. I was planning to use Paradox Live to (hopefully) get some people into Argopro. The project had some difficulties and I wanted to pull people into it, so I did it in a very roundabout way. After all, not a lot of Paradox Live seiyuus are in Argopro like bro what am I even doing!? When starting with the roles of Kajiwara Gakuto (Allen's VA), there were barely any solos for Haruka (his role in Argopro). I remember downloading/ripping the audio of Orthros, because that song was barely introduced. Good old times.

What did I want to achieve with this video?

Guys, I'm just a girl who really likes sharing her interests and I'm a big fan of listening to music of several music projects because I think they are nice and they are different from other music if that makes any sense + you can listen to your favourite seiyuus!!! This was a video for my close friends because I always try to get them to listen to songs or to check out projects. This was merely a tool I used, I guess. My friends love me and I love them. In the end, it wasn't even needed because I post plenty enough on my insta story.

How I made the video

Bros, let me tell you. This was one hell of a dumpster fire of making this video. I'm not kidding. If you think you you can do it, go for it. I will never do it again.

I made the video on my phone. My phone has seen better days, y'all. I first made the template in Ibispaintx and after that I went into YouCut to put the audio over it. I absolutely hated it because you couldn't delete the files if you had the videos in draft (otherwise it will get corrupted which makes sense), but it took a lot of storage. I ended up saving them seperately per character, but the pain I had to go through everytime I made a mistake was painful.

This video is like 22 minutes long, but it took me nearly 2 years to finish it ( •̥ࡇ•̥ )

A little extra for you all <3

I still have the very first version of this video, so I thought, I might as well upload it for others to check out how ewww it kinda is, lmao. It was such a rough draft, but you can't have it all, right? Here is the link (the video is still unlisted, so you won't find it online if you don't have the link).

Another extra, which are the Paradox Live edits (this is a link to my Amino post, so yeah, it's a hell hole ngl) I did 4 years ago. I wanted to use one of them as my thumbnail actually, but I decided not too because people may not be used to that and thus may consider it over the top…

General project and also life update

Hey guys, remember this pic? If not, well hello to this pic by @xxkoichiixx because it's an excellent pic.

I don't do this often, but it occurs to me that y'all have something of a stake in my general affairs, and I have an update about them under the cut.

Tl;dr is that I did not swindle you guys but

God, I hate this fecking interface. Anyway.

You all know how I raised funds a little over a year ago to go on an anniversary trip with my husband, and promised to write a certain quantity of smut? I fully intend to do so, and it will probably be soon, taking place immediately after the end of chapter 27.

The reason I feel icky about it has nothing to do with smut in itself, and only somewhat to do with it being so gosh-darn late. The thing is, when I pitched the whole thing as "husband desperately needs and deserves this trip please help make it happen," I wasn't fibbing whatsoever. He did, and we had an absolutely wonderful time, the memory of which I will genuinely cherish for the rest of my life.

Does that sound alarming? It should. We're getting a divorce.

There are several reasons, and the ones I feel comfortable sharing are that I realized I cannot help him become a better or happier person, despite 15+ years of my absolute best efforts, and I do not owe myself or our daughter any more of the heartache of living with someone so bitter that he barely tolerates his loved ones.

He's also wanted to explore his gender and sexual identities for a long while, but it's a terrible time to be LGBT+ in America and he's genuinely frightened to do so. I fully support him in whatever he needs to do to be happy, and anyone trying to taunt me for "making him gay" will receive a head pat and a kick in the dick (said dick will be provided first if necessary)...but ngl, it does kinda sting that he has to ditch us for everything to be just right.

Actually, it stings a lot. 2022 was one of the worst years of my entire life. I thank all my fandom friends for their love and support, without which I low-key don't know what the fuck I would have done. Shout-out to @dale-the-human in particular. You know what u did >_> <3

(I'm logged into this account on my laptop and my God, the computers I used at college 12 years ago had better emojis than this)

Speaking of Dale, it's been a rough time all around, but we're still slogging along on the videos. I don't remember who I told that it'd be about a month, but that is probably not correct, for which I apologize.

Songfell itself is coming along too, but as you can imagine, in addition to the stress of existing in general, I have had tremendous difficulty writing about a broken family trying to heal. It's even worse for Beauty & the Bones, as "husband who does not give a shit about his wife's feelings/expresses it badly enough to really hurt her" could not be a sorer subject for me and all I want is to make that Sans suffer. Aggre: Seeing Red should hopefully get updated by the end of the month, but we know me, so we'll just have to wait and see.

In conclusion, I hate to provide that cap-off to the smutraiser, but the money generated was not wasted, and the trip was crucial in helping me see that while the man I married is in there somewhere, all it takes is a molecule of reality to crush him, and he will no longer accept my love or friendship to help him through it. (And a giant part of the heartache is that we emotionally split in September, but he's still living here because he can't afford to move out. Cute, eh?)

You guys have been unrelentingly patient with me, and it means more to me than I can express without dissolving into weepy gifs. I will try to get better about responding to reviews and posting literally anything on Patreon shiiiit I knew I was forgetting something argh and life in general. Peace out for now <3

#songfell #life update desu #and it was shark week the whole time the end

From May 24-28 2022 - Eburnean Tommy AU sketches:

[Transcript of text in drawing is below my rambling]

This was the first drawing/series of drawings I drew that could count as actual drawings that I was actually proud of(we don't talk about my first sketchbook :/)

Also, the anatomy thing to the left of the top right drawing and the eyes below the same drawing was art advice by a very artistic friend of mine :D

So, this was around the time I was first getting into Dream SMP and I found Bludoby's Eburnean Tommy AU and loved it! I think it was the first original AU I got invested in. This was as I was developing my art style and figuring things out so it's rough around the edges but way better than past drawings.

The reference for the top right drawing came from Bludoby's second Eburnean Tommy video called "Killed and revived over and over again". The reference of the left middle drawing was from Bludoby's "Accident" video. The reference for the bottom middle drawing is from their Twitter but idk when they posted it.

Text Transcript:

[Top right: "and then I'll kill you again and then I'll revive you" repeated]

[Bottom of top right drawing: "I can't draw natural looking shirt rips or proportional features to save my life TvT"]

[Left of middle bottom drawing: "yellow butterflies :D (Idk what the yellow butterflies represent in this AU, they're just there"]

[Top right of middle bottom drawing: "side profiles kinda suck" (then below that line:) ":) kinda proud of this ngl"]

[Near the badly drawn bird on Tommy's arm: "birb :)"]

My 2022 Fanfic Year in Review!

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but 2022 has been a rough one for me. Between challenges in my offline life and modding for the Drops of Moonlight Zine eating up most of my fandom time and energy, I didn’t write as much as I might have liked in other years.

Anyway, here’s my Ao3 Wrapped!!

Fair warning, spoilers for anything I posted this year abound below the cut!!

1. List of fics completed this year:

Well, I changed some of how I post this year (for example, I stopped posting to FFN entirely and decided to use ‘collections’ on Ao3 instead of chapters going forward for related but standalone shorts/one shots).

That said, I completed 5 fics:

A (Blind) Date with Destiny!

Moving In

then you showed up and I can’t get enough

We Do This Every Time

I Know All About Your Reputation (This is Bound to be a Heartbreak Situation)

I also began a new ongoing multichapter, Close to Home.

2. Number of words written:

61,054 that have been posted - fewer than previous years, but more than I’d thought!

3. Your most popular fic this year:

Of what I posted this year, (Blind) Date got the most hits, but overall The Runner-Up remained quite popular and got a lot of engagement.

4. Your personal favourite this year:

This is always a cruel question, given that everything I write feels like my baby/a part of me. The two I was most actively excited/couldn’t stop while writing were Blind Date and then you showed up… so… coin flip between the two?

5. Your favourite scene:

I *loved* writing the date in Blind Date with Destiny. Their dancing around each other and flirting and playing that ‘but do you remember me and if you don’t do I have to tell you’ game was SO MUCH FUN and basically flowed directly out of my brain and onto the page.

6. A fic or scene that challenged you:

Day six of my UsaMamo week fic (We Do This Every Time) gave me a lot of trouble. Turns out it’s hard to consolidate an entire arc from an anime into a single chapter, who knew 🤣

7. A line of writing you’re proud of:

I feel like this is always the hardest question to answer and the one I put off until the very end, in part because when you write 60k+ words in a year (which comes out to like 2.5k sentences the way I write them), it’s hard to single out one!!

This year, I’m going to highlight this line from Close to Home:

Mamoru took an obnoxiously slow sip from his water glass. “Do you bring a lot of dates home?” he asked in an offhand way that made her want to dump her curry on top of his perfectly coiffed hair.

8. A comment that touched you:

I always feel like I get too many sweet reviews to single out just one; in fact, I now have a designated folder in my email titled “Review Joy” where I file away some of the ones I want to revisit when I’m feeling low. So here is a much-too-short and entirely non-exhaustive roundup of a few snippets from some of my favorite reviews this year:

Just crossed your story today and *had* to go on Ao3 to read the second part!

I can’t picture things clearly or for long in my mind, but this scene was crystal clear, at least Usagi bowing to the little rabbit and talking in a friendly, but quiet and gentle, almost reverential way because Usako was part of Mamoru, vulnerable, almost like part of his soul.

I love all the check-ins for consent - they were so natural!! So good!! Thank you for writing!!

The scene of him putting things together was also suitably spooky and conspiratorial, like the ending of the Usual Suspects kinda.

Ngl I was SHRIEKING AT MY PHONE when I saw she'd written something SO SWEET into the book?! AND THEN DASHED LIKE THE LITTLE ADORABLE IDIOT SHE IS?

I’m always filled with excitement when I see a new story from you and it never disappoints. This is an absolutely wonderful beginning filled with emotions and sweetness and I cannot wait to see where you lead us.

Seeing bisexual rep in usagi meant the world to me as a young, questioning teen, and seeing you showcase that here and have her friends be so knowing & accepting of that really just made my heart feel so whole <3

Impeccable plotline, character depictions, and the fluff was *chef’s kiss*!!! 20/10!!!

I wish I could showcase all of every review I’ve received this year, but sadly I would run out of space way too fast. Just know that if you’ve taken the time to review for me, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻

9. Something that inspired your writing this year:

Okay so I’ve already disclaimed it in the author’s note, but My Ex’s Best Friend by Machine Gun Kelly is the entire reason that then you showed up… exists.

Like honestly the line “I swear to god I never fall in love” just STUCK IN MY BRAIN as a very Mamoru-ish sentiment and I had to explore it. With instalove semi-blind-date hijinks.

10. Your proudest accomplishment (that one scene; finally finishing that one fic; posting your first fic; etc):

Probably have to go with finishing day 6 (Reunion) of UsaMamo week this year (We Do This Every Time). I basically knew what I wanted to do with it as soon as the prompts dropped, but actually whipping it into shape and getting it to be near the level I envisioned it took me longer than I hoped it would!! Was very proud to get that monster off my TBW list 🤣

11. Do you have any writing goals for the next year?

I would like to refill my tank, tbh. As I mentioned above, it’s been a rough year and in many ways I’m running on fumes - and I do think that’s been reflected in my writing (or lack thereof) in this back half of the year.

So in an ideal world, I’d like to have the time and bandwidth to feel excited about writing again. And maybe also make some progress on Close to Home.

————

As always, I would love to see some other people do these! I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you see this and want to participate, consider yourself tapped in.

Cheers to the end of 2022!! May 2023 be a gentle and healthy year for you and yours 😘

Tumble and Twizzle with You

Day #8 of 2022 December Event

Fandom: Arcane (Modern AU)

Ship: VI(X/&)OC(Ayce) -- shippy fluff

Warnings: Cute fluffy date, ice skating, and mild references to OCD (compulsive repetitions of five specifically) and abusive family dynamics.

Word Count: 1,426

Btw, for those of you who are unaware, ‘twizzle’ is a real word used in ice skating—yes really. No, I’m not fucking with you (no I didn’t know that before writing this to be perfectly fair). Twizzle refers to a small rotation of the blade/feet while ice skating, sometimes in pairs, as part of a routine.

Let me know if I need to adjust anything! I don't know a lot about ice skating cause I have poor balance and anxiety myself, so parts of this is kinda a shot in the dark ngl.

Ayce took a deep breath and twisted her bracelet around her wrist, eyes fixed on the gentle snowfall outside. The cool metal curled around exactly five times before she stopped and began twisting it the other way. Heel tapping on the floor in sync with the twisting motion as she waited for her drink to be ready.

Another year, another absolutely disastrous family dinner. At some point, she would be better off just not going at all. They all certainly acted like it was the better course of action—not that it stopped them from demanding she show up anyway. Never quite good enough, no of course not.

Tap.

She tried not to be bitter about it, too numb to feel hurt anymore tonight.

Tap.

“Order ready for uh… Ayce!” The barista called out.

Tap.

Ayce stood up and retrieved her drink with a grateful smile. The holiday themed cozy protecting her hand from the hot contents as she returned to her table next to the window. There was a definite chill emanating from the glass but Ayce found it hard to mind. The drink wasn’t quite her regular but she didn’t need the extra caffeine right now. Her nerves were shot enough as it was.

“Hey. Mind if I join you?” Ayce jolted at the soft voice to her left.

The woman was quite tall, dressed in black leather with a red hood dropped onto her shoulders. Hair somewhere between hot pink and a fiery red in an asymmetrical undercut that brushed across the right side of her face. Kind gray eyes as she smiled politely, drink in her hand as she tilted her chin to the empty chair across from Ayce.

“Oh! Uhm, sure…” Ayce stuttered, feeling genuinely surprised that the beautiful woman actually sat down rather than taking the chair to sit somewhere else.

“I’m Violet, but you can call me Vi.” She introduced herself casually, leaning forward on her elbows with a sip of her drink. “What brings you out in the cold like this? Christmas shopping? Oh, or uhm… Hanukkah?” Vi asked.

Ayce shook her head with a slight grimace.

“N-No… family dinner.” She explained, foot tapping away in fives again. Vi nodded in understanding, a strange look in her eyes.

“I’m guessing it didn’t go well?”

Ayce shook her head with a choked laugh.

“Ahah… they never do.” Ayce admitted quietly.

“Oh. I’m sorry… that sounds rough. I can go if you want?” Vi offered.

“No!” Ayce denied quickly. “T-That’s okay—I mean, you can stay… it’s okay… it’s nice to have company right now.” Ayce blushed hard, looking away from Vi to the light dusting of snow outside. Vi chuckled and relaxed in her seat.

“Then I guess I’ll stay and keep you company.” Vi accepted. “I just dropped off presents to my folks myself so I’ve got all the free time in the world… I like your hair. Green looks good on you.” Vi noted, much to Ayce’s embarrassment.

At some point, she’d need to start putting ornaments in her hair to match the glowing blush and pretend like she was just really into Christmas. It would be less mortifying.

“Thanks. Your hair looks nice too… isn’t it a little cold though?” Ayce asked, struggling to find something to say that wasn’t just a string of words approximating how unfairly pretty Vi was. Too pretty to be sitting at her table at least. Vi snorted.

“Eh, I can handle it.” Vi shrugged, taking another sip of her drink. “Say… are you planning on doing anything after this?”

Ayce stalled briefly. Truthfully, she didn’t plan on doing much besides decompressing and writing in her journal later.

Her phone let out a chime and she pulled it out, wincing at the notification. A text from her mom… angry as usual. A gentle hand brushed over hers, covering the screen. Callouses rubbing over her knuckles in a soothing gesture.

“Well, that’s not a happy face at all…” Vi murmured with a gentle expression. “I know we just met but… I think they’ve had enough of your time tonight. C’mon, let’s go do something. How about… what do you like doing this time of year?” Vi probed gently.

Ayce knew she was going to get an earful later for ignoring her mother but… was it really any different than if she responded right now? Her therapist did suggest disengaging more often. Family… family is important but not at the cost of her health.

They were both right.

Her family has taken enough of her time tonight. They could manage themselves for a few hours. As talented as they were about listing her many flaws, even they couldn’t work with nothing. So… Ayce looked up at Vi who patiently waited for her response.

“…How does ice skating sound?” Vi lit up with a grin.

“Like I’ve never gone before! What… uhm, what—where do we go?” Vi asked.

Ayce felt her heart flutter a little.

“I know a place.” Ayce finished the last of her drink and stood up, offering her hand. Vi didn’t hesitate to follow her lead, though she towered over Ayce considerably… Ayce just felt warm and safe. Vi’s hand was gentle despite the rough callouses on her hands and knuckles.

The ice skating rink wasn’t exactly empty, but most of the regulars were at home with family. After securing their shoes, Ayce having a pair reserved just for her after years of being a regular, Vi gripped the railing. Only a little tense as Ayce laughed softly, demonstrating her expertise as she rambled about her favorite past time.

“—And loops are really fun, but can make you dizzy so watch out for that— Oh. S-Sorry… I didn’t mean to talk your ear off.” Ayce stopped suddenly, blades digging into the ice as she paused in the middle of a gentle loop a few feet from Vi. Vi laughed, shaking her head as she tried to keep her balance.

“No-No! It’s cool! I can tell you really like this! Makes me feel better knowing I’m in good hands, ya know?” Vi admitted. “I swear I’m usually more well balanced than this…” Ayce skated to Vi slowly, resting her hands on Vi’s arms as they clenched the rail behind her.

“The first step is relaxing. It’s kind of like riding a bike. Balancing is easier in motion than at rest and with your knees bent just a little. All your weight is on the blades after all. Yeah, like that.” Ayce guided Vi quietly, assisting her in moving along the edge so she could still grab the rail if she was nervous. Though Vi’s other hand hovered over the railing, she mostly trusted Ayce, her grip firm but mindful as she wavered less and less. “Now, the trick to going forward after standing is putting your weight ahead of your feet—just a little bit!—and making a ‘V’ shape with your feet. Let it slide a little before going to the other foot. Slowly, deep breaths… and you’ve got it!” Ayce praised Vi as she steadily grew more confident.

Vi laughed, grabbing Ayce’s hand and threading their fingers together as she let go of the railing.

“The real trick is having a cute and capable teacher.” Vi bragged, startling Ayce as she looked up at Vi. There was still some nerves and tension around her eyes, but she was grinning and blushing, not looking away for a second. Vi squeezed her hand and leaned down slowly.

Ayce mechanically skated forward in sync with Vi as her eyes widened.

Soft lips brushed the skin of her hot cheek as she blushed fiercely.

“I-It helps when you have a pretty student that listens…” Ayce mumbled, looking away as she smiled shakily.

Vi laughed boisterously, the sound making Ayce’s heart stutter in her chest.

“If listening gets me a pretty smile like that, I’ll gladly just shut up~” Vi sang.

“Y-You don’t have to do that! I-I like your voice!” Ayce denied quickly before wincing, cursing herself for snapping. But Vi just laughed and nuzzled the side of Ayce’s hair, kissing the corner of her eye.

“Then I guess we’ll both just have to keep talking, won’t we?” Vi asked, presenting Ayce with a slip of paper with a number on it.

Ayce laughed, leaning against Vi’s shoulder as she pocketed the number.

“I guess we will…” Ayce agreed, cheeks aching from smiling.

She couldn’t wait to write about this in her journal… today was a good day after all.

My Top Posts in 2022:

How do you feel about the possibility of Sundrop/Moondrop (FNaF: Security Breach) as being interesting/hot as a yan.? 🤔 yay or nay??

Gotta say at 1st Sundrop was kinda horrifying with his unhinged voice and forever cursed smile and dead eyes

buuut after reading some very convincing *ahem* "literature" some fun cute animatics and animations I've eased up on the dude and think he could make for a great delusional Yandere! Don't think I'd want to be his Y/N personally tho.

As for Moon drop...he's scary with a kick ass voice and would make for a great and terrifying rough Yandere 😱 The rough Yanderes are scary and quite mean so I wouldn't be down for him either :p (not that I'd have a choice tho I guess 😭😭)

Heyy guys ✨

So I never thought I’d be doing this sorry for clogging your dashes with this 😭, but I’m very close to reaching a milestone and my blog’s one year anniversary is right around the corner so I was hoping I could get some promo from my moots 😖 (or anyone, as a matter of fact)

Thank youuu and I hope to put out more content for you guys soon 🥺 I have a couple things in the works ✨

Hii, I’m jas and I write ff for skz (mainly) and occasionally bts. I love writing longer pieces, usually a combination of fluff and angst, and I enjoy writing all sorts of different AU’s. If that sounds interesting to you, maybe you could consider checking out my blog 🥺

A little (not really) message to conclude 2021

First of all, it’s been quite a hectic year, yeah?

Honestly, the start of the year is still kinda blurry for me (including my bday) — But there’s one thing I remember clearly. Starting this blog.

In a week, I’ll be celebrating my first year anniversary of this blog. Honestly, it feels like yesterday. I can’t believe that it’ll soon be one year of crispy-chan 😭 Over the course of these 12 months, I’ve made so many incredible friends here.

To everyone who ever commented, reblogged, or left an ask, thank you! It means the world to me. It truly does.

Writing has become something special for me. I’m not a particularly creative person and I don’t really have any talent or hobbies so the fact that I have this safe little corner, this haven where I can create stuff for you and be proud of it, where I can receive feedback, it truly made my life better. I wasn’t doing too well before (during quarantine) and I was in a pretty rough spot, so the realization that I could create content for my favorite group(s) meant a lot.

Now, I know that my blog has been pretty dry for the past couple of months, but I promise that I have things in the works. There are so many things I want to write for you guys, so so much (about 17 doc pages full of fic ideas) and I hope I’ll be able to do so next year.

I hope that my journey will last a lot longer than one year… perhaps two, three, or maybe even four ❣️

Anyways, I’d like to thank my moots — you guys have been so great to me. I’ve made so many great friends over tumbleweed and you’re all amazing people. I can’t believe that some of you, I used to (and still) admire from the shadows, thinking that I’d never get to talk to you. But as crazy as it sounds, some of you are now my moots and we talk, joke around and laugh together.

I’m simultaneously scared and excited for 2022. it feels almost surreal that today is the last day of the year… I’m so excited for all the amazing things stray kids will do next year — I feel so grateful that I get to call myself a STAY along with many other amazing people.

Even though we may live on opposite ends of the world, there’s one thing that connects us all. And that’s honestly the beauty of music. Fuck, I must sound really lame and sappy here so excuse that 😭

Anyways, I wanted to thank you all. You’ve been so good to me for the past year and you allowed me to feel like I belong, something for which I’m really grateful.

May 2022 be filled with happiness and joy 🎉

Here are some amazing people I’d like to tag (moots, friends, readers, people who sent a memorable ask, people who I look up to a lot):

@taecup-ontrack @freckledwinterfalls @yyxgin @lixesque @jimeanour @aliceu @delicatewerewolfsoul @decembermoonskz @maplecornia @fabulaee @cotccotc @missskzbiased @soulssung @leelysian @strayingdawn @chogiwow @taemin-jaemin @dreamescapeswriting @mxxndreams

@laikaya @blellaa @mythicalamphitrite @eeriikka @cherrychngkyn @chans-baby-girl @hwa-teez

@chaninfused (ngl, really afraid of doing this but ig I’ve fangirled enough to embarrass myself for years ahead lmfao)

I don’t want to bore you guys any longer, but here we go. If you’ve read so far, thank you. I really hope I’ll get to spend the next following years with you guys, sharing my passion for skz (occasionally bts) and writing.

Thank you and I hope you have a lovely year 💗

Let’s stay strong and be there for each other, yeah?

#ahhhhhhh. I’m getting a bit emotional. an hour and a half till midnight ;)#anyways. if you’ve read this far… thank you. I really appreciate #reblogs are appreciated #thank you guys !!!#end of 2021 #jas bambles 🎐#tysm for being there for me guys #for being my friends and my support system #love you all
