Okay! How about a Lucifer x male (or gn if you’re more comfortable) reader in a platonic fic? Reader is like a servant who helps Lucifer through depresso days

A/N: This sounds like a really nice friendship dynamic, I’m rlly happy I get to write it!

Also btw you’re an imp for the sake of not knowing what a duck is

Coping Methods

Summary: It’s been a few months since Lilith left Lucifer and he’s been taking it about as well as you think he would. He can barely get out of bed until you manage to coax him into a fun activity to ease his mind.

Platonic Lucifer x Male!Reader

Nobody expected Lilith to leave. Maybe that’s what made it worse when she did.

She didn’t leave anything behind either, not her clothes, not her shoes, not even a single letter.

Every being in that castle fell into a deep depression, it just felt so gloomy without her there. Though, it hit the Morningstar’s the hardest.

Charlie had moved out nearly a month after Lilith’s disappearance, claiming she wanted to find herself and have her own independence rather than rely on her father for the rest of her life.

Lucifer, however, barely even left the castle, let alone his own room. Very few people were allowed near him at the time, only his personal servants, and you just happened to be one of them.

Today was one of those days where Lucifer couldn’t even bring himself to get out of bed, so you found yourself outside his door, hesitating to knock.

You couldn’t deny that you were terrified, but you had to make sure the king was okay, it was your duty as one of his personal servants.

You took a moment to collect yourself before knocking a few times.

It took a moment before he answered, “Who is it..?” The way he sounded so fragile almost broke apart of you, not once in your thousands of years of working for him have you heard him sound so vulnerable.

“It’s me, sir.” You replied, twiddling with your thumbs.

The door creaked open with a blur of golden magic, no doubt his own.

You stepped in and closed the door behind you, knowing that he’d prefer if nobody saw him in this state.

“Why are you here?” He asked, not looking at you as he curled into a ball on his humongous bed.

“Nobody has seen or heard from you all day, sir,” You started, making your way over to the edge of his bed but not daring to step any closer, both out of respect for him and fear for your safety, “We needed to know that you were still alive.”

“Alright, well, you’ve seen it now, haven’t you?” He asked rhetorically, “Just leave and take the day off for all I care, I-I just want to sit here for a little bit.”

“Sir..” You started, keeping your voice firm, “As your servant, I respect all your wishes, but as your friend… I will have to deny you this one.”

Before he could respond, you continued going, “In fact, I’m going to have to request that you stand up for me” you knew you were definitely going to get in trouble for this, whether by him or by one of your superiors.

“A-Are you trying to command the king of hell?” He asked, “You are nothing but my servant, I.. I don’t have many friends right now..”

You weren’t going to stop so soon though, your persistence was what got you this job in the first place, “Sir, I’m not trying to command you, I am just asking that you at least sit up and look at me”

It took him a second but he groaned in defeat as if he was a small child. He sat up, letting you see just how much he’d been crying. His hair which was usually neat was now a mess of curls and his face seemed redder than usual.

“I’ve done what you asked.. Is this all you wanted?” He asked.

“No, I actually wanted to request that you.. Uhm…” You had to think of an excuse for what you wanted to do first, “Could you accompany me to your workshop for a moment..? This is the only time I’ll ask you to do this, I just… N-Need to know where you’d like everything to go so I can clean!”

You commended yourself for being quick to think of an excuse, you knew how much the king liked his neatness.

“…There’s no need to clean it” Well, that stunned you.

“S-Sir?” You stuttered, “It definitely needs to be cleaned, just.. please?”

“I already know where everything is, just leave it be” Lucifer waved his hand dismissively before flopping back onto his bed, gripping a nearby pillow.

Well this won’t do. You needed him to get out of his bed. You needed him to actually do something.

“Sir, please, just accompany me to the workshop and I’ll leave you alone” You pleaded.

He sat still for a moment before shifting his head towards you, “…You’ll leave me alone for the rest of the week if I accompany you, do you hear me..?”

You nodded enthusiastically, “Yes sir! I-I can totally do that!” Not only did it give you an excuse to just do nothing for the rest of the week, your plan might actually work.

“Alright, just let me get ready first” He yawned as he sat up and threw his legs over the edge of the bed.

You quickly left the room for his privacy, as much as you loved your gracious king, you didn’t love him that much.

He left the room almost immediately, not having bothered to clean up his hair or the bags under his eyes. He knew that nobody in their right mind would point it out anyway.

“Just so you know.. I’m going to leave as soon as you’re done in there” Lucifer said.

“That’s alright with me, sir,” You flash a grin, “I’m just glad you got out of that messy room of yours”

“Watch it.” He rolls his eyes.

You chuckle softly as you approach his workshop, but you’re surprised once you open its doors.

The workshop that was usually a mess with his inventions and dreams and even dioramas of his theme park was now barren, only holding the pictures on the walls and his work bench.

“Wow, would you look at that..” Lucifer started, “Guess you don’t need me anymore, I mean, no mess to clean up!”

But you’re not gonna let him off the hook so easily.

“Uh, sir?” You smirked, “Could you at least spare me one request before I stop bothering you for the week?”

Lucifer groaned childishly, obviously not wanting to spend another moment out of the bed that he once shared with his love.

“Fine, fine, I guess it’s the least I could do since you so desperately wanted me over here” He conceded, walking with you to his workbench.

“So, what do you want?” He asked.

You grinned before pulling out some supplies from your pockets, “So, you know how made that thing on Earth before you fell? What was it called… Cuck..? I-I don’t know, but it made that quacking noise”

“A duck?” Lucifer cut you off.

“Ah, precisely!” You nodded.

“What.. What does that have anything to do with this?” He asked.

“Well, Mr. Lucifer, my request is that..” You paused for dramatic effect, “You recreate that! I wanna see what it looks like, and you seem to have pride in the fact that you made them, so maybe it’ll make you feel better!”

Lucifer paused for a moment before laughing. It might’ve been aimed at you rather than with you, but you’d gotten him to laugh at least.

“A-I’m sorry- Is that really all that you want me to do? Make a duck?” He said as the laughter died down.

“Yup! That’s what I want!” You nodded, making him chuckle once more.

“Alright, alright, fine” He sighed, “I’ll make you a duck, but then you let me wallow in self-pity, mkay?”

“Sounds fair!” You responded.

He didn’t say anything back to you as he started to work. You could see sparks flying as he melded metal together, shaping it into the form of a small creature.

“Pass me my yellow paint, would you?” He asked, pointing in the direction of his paints.

You hummed, grabbing his yellow paint for him and setting it down next to him on the table.

“Oh, and the black paint too” He said.

You huffed, “Couldn’t have told me that while I was getting the yellow?” But you got it for him regardless, wrapping your tail around it and ignoring the cold paint as it splashed on you when you brought it over.

He didn’t respond, too focused on painting it perfectly.

Then, the sparks and painting stopped, he smiled softly at his little creation.

“Here it is,” He said, picking it up with gentle hands, “This is what a duck looks like”

You looked at it in awe. It looked so.. cute. It looked so different from all the life in Hell, like it didn’t pose any threats at all.

You took a moment before nodding, “Alright, that’s uh… All I wanted” you smiled before standing up.

“I’ll lead you back to your room and you won’t have to worry about me for the rest of the week” You continued to speak before he cut you off.

“Actually…” He said, “Stay, I think I might need your help grabbing supplies for me while I make some more of these”

You took a moment to process what he said before your eyes lit up with excitement, “Really?!” You had actually been successful in getting the king to enjoy something!

“Really” He chuckled.

A/N: I hope this lived up to your expectations. I noticed too late that the reader doesn’t really have a gender specified but I guess that just means you can depict them however you want to!

Look at him :)

So, I know you don’t think there was much to Sam and Monika Clarke after those photos showed up in March of 2022. This ask isn’t about them,btw. Whatever those photos were it was 18+ months ago. Since you usually try to be as logical as you can, have you seen any evidence that you think is credible of anyone he has actually dated since then? Like more than one date here or there. It’s like those photos dropped, then supposedly the photographer said around Easter of ‘22 that they “ broke up so he could go back to an ex.” But we haven’t seen any ex that he’s actually dated. Have we?

Since those photos there’s been innuendo about Katrina K, Karina E, Chloe M, Georgia E, Susie E and probably a couple names I forgot . Have you seen any logical proof that makes you think he ACTUALLY dated any of them?

I’m starting to think he’s pretty happy on his own and very tired himself of all the innuendo. Most of us settle a little more as we get into our 40’s- whether that means a relationship or just being content on our own. Maybe he’s decided that he won’t seriously try to date again unless it’s someone he really wants to be with. It’s got to be difficult to get someone to date him if she knows about this fandom and honestly, about his dating record of the past 10 years. (We don’t know much about what he was like before OL.) I kind of hope he’s doing some serious reflection on where he wants to be professionally and personally post Outlander and whether that includes a relationship or not. I also hope he’s getting some counseling, if he wants it, to help him figure out who he wants to be in the next phase of his life and to help him with his own self-proclaimed personal issues.

Just wondering if you have seen signs of real dates, or if these patterns of assuming he is dating any woman even thought to be connected to him are just the same old stuff that’s been happening for years in this fandom.

Ugh... where to start...

In general, I can only say, a pattern of speculations and innuendos about rumors/dating/affairs connecting women to him are most of the time kept alive by the fandom, or should I say certain parts of the fandom itself that thrive by it, or desperately wants to connect him with a woman.

After the MC pics, which actually ended the speculation about AM, with whom he was seen a number of times. A video in London as well as pics and videos in Paris. Especially the Paris videos surely implied an affair with AM. Shortly after the Paris trip (and rumored skitrip after Paris) he went to LA and NZ. People tried to keep the affair alive, telling he would be in SA with her, and she would come with him to NZ. They certainly would be together for Valentine's Day. Needless to say, nothing of the kind happened and AM became old news when the MC pics surfaced beginning of March 2022.

Beyond the infamous cafe kiss nothing ever could connect her in anyway to him. Nevertheless, innuendo was created on the fly by the usual ones. Even when he was spotted in a YT video with KK end of April 2022. The vibe wasn't one of a date or affair though, and couldn't stop the MC speculations.

Summer came with the usual flood of names sent to inboxes. KE was one of them, and became a bit more interesting when he appeared to be on a roadtrip. Even after he posted some pics from it by himself, and after posting the video of his 48 hours in LV, speculation about MC was still kept alive. All the pics that could be found from the John L concert in LV were analyzed and yes, he was spotted in some with 'a woman'. Though that far away that it was merely impossible to positively identify the woman. The queen of innuendo even identified her as MC in the beginning. Until someone spotted the infamous dog in the cowboy pics of his roadtrip... that's when KE became speculation number one so to say.

A pic with her has never been seen, never was there anything else than the rumored dog. Despite many attempts to connect her or even put her in the same place as him, all proof of that is circumstantial and most of it even far fetched. So much that up to today she hasn't been out of the speculations and innuendo.

Do you see the pattern, and how it is created by certain parts of this fandom? I bet, with an open mind, you can all confirm we've seen exactly the same the past months.

GE, nothing else but spotted at the athletic games in Ratingen, Germany on a Sunday. Based on some history, someone kept sending the most fantastic innuendo to my inbox all summer. Cinderella and Kristina S, Emily S, nothing but innuendo, not even the slightest shred of suspicion.

Susie E. People take it for granted she's the woman on the booze boat, I'm sorry, I'm waiting patiently for the white Prada sunnies or the blue bikini on her IG. A video in the suite at Shutters where he recorded an interview is somewhat questionable, but doesn't make an affair nor a romantic weekend. Telling me she was not posting on IG isn't evidence she was on a romantic trip to Nevis with him. All innuendo created by the fandom.

I'm pretty much with you Anon 1, about the last part of your message and your conclusions. We know some of his dating life before OL, he was described being a flirt in a very old article. He mentioned about dating an actress he worked with during his theater days during Waypoints interviews as well as mentioning some other stories about dating. Nothing new, he said himself he had dates, he's not living the life of a monk. Being single doesn't mean you have all kind of issues, though he mentioned some things from his youth.

Anyway, more and more people live a single life or only find their partner later on in life. We all make our own choices based on our own priorities, opportunities and challenges we see before us.

Too Tired to Move

Characters: Steve McGarrett X Reader

Word Count: 1270

Warnings: Fluff, I think that’s it.

A/n: Thank you for the request & the kind words darling. I’m sorry it took me FOREVER to write it, but I finally had some time, and I needed some fluff.

Requested By: @NattyAssasian (it won’t let me tag you/ it says you don’t exist)

Could you do where it’s like 2:00 on the morning and Steve wakes the reader up because he is too tired to get something to drink and it’s just a lot of fluff please? I love your work btw! :)

Feedback is always welcome. The Good and The Bad, it helps me as a writer.

Tumblr Masterlist

If you want to be Tagged in future Fics- Tag Yourself Here

Requests are always Open (fair warning I am a SLOW writer)

After a long day at work, you and Steve are finally getting home at around midnight. This last case had been hard on everyone. All of you were working day and night for the last few days, which translates into not much sleep for anyone. Once the two of you were in bed, you felt sleep taking over your senses. Unfortunately, it was taken from you almost as fast as it had come.

“Y/n, are you awake? Y/n?” You felt a hand nudging you. You tried to ignore him with all your might, but if he is anything, he is persistent. “Sweetheart?”

“Steve. I love you but leave me alone please.” You reached your hand up to where his hand is on your shoulder, and you just put your hand on top of his.

“Y/n…” he moved his head to your shoulder and whispered into your ear. “Y/nn…”

You turn your head to the side to look at him. “Whaaaat?” you whined like a child.

“Can you please go get me water?”

“Are you serious right now?” you rubbed your eyes, before looking to the clock on your nightstand, to see it was 1:55 a.m. “It is almost 2 in the morning Steve.”

“I know but I am too tired to move, I feel like if I try to get up, I will just fall to the ground.”

“You are so dramatic.” You fully turn to look at him, only to see a pout on his face. “Ugh, fine.”

You move to get out of bed, but before you actually get up you sit on the edge of the bed. You rub your eyes before getting up and heading downstairs. When you were halfway down the stairs you hear Steve yell “I LOVE YOU!”

“Yeah, yeah.” You mumbled to yourself.

You walked down the rest of the stairs to the kitchen, going to the fridge to grab a few water bottles. The thing is that once you opened that door… Your stomach was starting to growl. That’s when you realize that you and Steve didn’t eat dinner. So, you decided to get a small snack. You grabbed some crackers out of the pantry. Then you made your way towards the doorway. Only to be stop once you saw the cookies on the counter, you grabbed one on your way back up the stairs.

When you came back into the room Steve was laying on his stomach, facing away from the door. You placed your snack and the extra waters on your night table. You sat down with your back up against the headboard. You started rubbing your hand over Steve’s shoulder to his upper back. He turned his head to you with a smile on his face. You handed him his water, he mumbled out a thank you, then you turned to pick up your crackers.

When you had your crackers open on the bed in front of you, you felt Steve move closer to you.

“What do you have?” He was slowly stretching his neck back to see.

“A snack. I realized when I was down there that we haven’t eaten since lunch, but I didn’t want a full meal since it’s almost two in the morning.”

He reached over to grab at your crackers when you moved your leg to block him.

“Hey.”

“What are you doing?”

“I was going to grab a cracker, my loving wife just denied me.”

“Didn’t they teach you manners in your seal training?”

“Not exactly…”

“Well, I know that your parents must have.”

“I guess…”

“Then use them Mr. Grabby Hands.”

“I’m about to show you grabby hands if you don’t share.”

“What happened to “I’m too tired to move”.” You used your most whiny voice and placed the back of your hand on your forehead as you leaned back for dramatic effect.

What you didn’t expect was him to pull you to him and lay over you, pining you down.

“Get off of me.”

He wasn’t paying attention to you; he was currently pulling crackers out of the box. Once he had a sufficient amount, he rolled off of you.

“You’re a brat you know that.” He looked at you with a smirk on his face, as he chewed on one of the stolen crackers.

“Says the one who went full gorilla to get a few crackers, instead of asking nicely.”

The two of you just laughed at each other for a little bit. Once the laughter died down, you put the crackers on the nightstand and picked up the cookie. Then you looked over to Steve. He was smiling at you.

“What?”

“Can I please have some of your cookie? It looks amazing.” Now he was looking at you with puppy-dog eyes.

“Oh, now you know how to use your manners.”

You took the cookie and tried your best to break it in half. Unfortunately, one side was bigger than the other. You tried to hand the bigger portion to Steve, but he reached for the smaller one. You looked over at him with a smile on your face.

The two of you silently ate your cookie, once you both were done you laid down next to Steve. He pulled you closer to him, resting his head in the crook of you neck.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“Obviously, there’s something.” You start running your hand over his head, causing him to relax.

“I was just thinking.”

“About…” You waved your hand in a prompting motion.

“How lucky I am.”

You just rolled your eyes and giggled at him.

“How so?”

“I have an amazing life. I have a wonderful job, even though sometimes the hours are terrible it’s still great. I have an amazing team that makes it worth going into work. And last but certainly not least, I have a beautiful wife, who even though she denied me crackers, is still willing to share her cookie with me.”

He shifted so that he could look at you.

“You have made my life a hundred times better the day you bumped into me.”

“You bumped into me.”

“No, I’m pretty sure you bumped into me.”

“Nope, you bumped into me. I wasn’t even moving. How can I bump into if I wasn’t moving?”

“Well…” He took a few seconds to think about it. “Huh… you were just standing there.”

“You’re such a dork.” You just laughed at him.

“Yeah, but you still married me anyway.”

“I did… To be completely honest, it was because I knew you were the one after you gave me the biggest piece of cake at your birthday party.”

“Oh, so the cake sealed the deal for you.”

“Yes.” You said it with no hesitation.

“Wow, and here I thought it was my devilish good looks and my charming personality.”

“Nah, I’m more of a cake and sarcasm kind of gal.”

You just smiled at him. He on the other hand had a smirk on his face. He moved his hand to the side of your face.

“You’re lucky I love you.” Then he lowered himself to kiss you.

“I love you too.” You pulled him back into another kiss.

“We should go to bed; we only have a few hours before we need to be back at work.” He was still hovering over you.

“Well then you need to get off of me.”

He wrapped his arms around your waist, rolling over slightly binging you with him.

“Goodnight brat.”

“Goodnight gorilla.”

Not long after this, the both of you were asleep only to be woken up by the annoying noise of your alarm clocks hours later.

do you want to tell us stuff about jakub gierszal's upcoming projects?

hi anon! 💗 are you THAT anon? 👀 of course i’m gonna tell you about them! (I mean at least what I know, this is gonna be a long answer, i’m not even sorry 😂💗)

so the first one that is coming out soon in February: Ultima Thule, it tells the story of young man, Bartek (Kuba’s in main role), who decides to embark on a lonely journey to the most isolated british island to fights off his internal demons. It is directed and written by Klaudiusz Chrostowski and the movie won the award at Polish Film Festival in Gdynia. Kuba even was the producer of this project and I’m so freaking proud of him even tho I haven’t seen this film yet. The whole thing was done by four people (including Kuba) and it’s actually insane and I love it.

another film of his, which sounds interesting is Biała Odwaga (dir. Maciej Koszałka), the title is not translated, I’d say it would be White Bravery???), it already seems to be controversial topic among critics because it pictures the story of a family - two Highlander brothers and their attitude towards Nazis during the war (some Highlanders were rumoured to conspire and cooperate with Nazis, and honestly it’s a really sensitive topic regarding polish history, Kuba said it’s a really interesting and well-written screenplay besides the historic background). Kuba plays there Wolfram von Kamitz (well, he has the looks for it, am I right?).

Simona Kossak (dir. Adrian Panek), another upcoming project (man’s booked and busy!) is about titled character, Simona. She is real life person from 70s, nature and animal lover, scientist and ecologist. Kuba plays her husband, Lech Wilczek, life-long partner and supporter.

The title I’m really excited about is Kolory Zła. Czerwień (Again, not translated but I’d say: Shades/Colours of The Evil. Red, and again dir. by Adrian Panek). It’s a book adaptation under the same title. It’s a crime story where, a Tri-City beach becomes a place of dramatic discovery when the sea washes up the body of a young girl. Kuba plays detective Leopold Bilski, main character. I love crime stories so it’s going to be exciting. It will be out on Netflix btw! ✨

Are you keeping up? Cause I’m not done yet! 🤭

He is working on the another project with Klaudiusz Chrostowski, hasn’t officially announced and named yet. Kuba himself said that it will be about depressive vampire who only can be cured through love 🥹💗🤫 (Here’s the pic shared by Mr Chrostowski, Kuba looks so cute with vampire teeth! 🧛‍♂️)

And finally, just recently there were released some stills from the project titled Podchody (Stealing Up, but still it’s translation for non-polish folks 😄) by Maciej Puczyński. Again, it hasn’t been announced yet or anything. It will be about a toxic family system where mother, three siblings and their partners confront with their lives and its unfulfillment.

Aaaaaand I think, that’s it for now, I will keep you updated if I know anything of course! 🫡💗 Thank you for this ask 🥹✨ I know Kuba did his best in each of these and I can’t wait for them! They all are said to come out this year, the man is crazy! 🤭💚 This year or following one, close enough!

#jakub gierszał #ask #polish actor #cinema #thank you! 💚

MAG 138 Relisten

Activity on my first listen: putting up a new fence.

MARTIN: "You know I don’t care if Jon hears this." ELIAS: "Come on, Martin. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Let’s not start with lies." [MARTIN TAKES A STEADYING BREATH.] MARTIN: (sigh) "Fine." Martin doesn't deny it?

ELIAS: "For all his… many faults, Peter is legitimately trying to stop the end of the world as we know it." MARTIN: "So why haven’t you helped him?" ELIAS: "My relationship to the apocalypse is more… complicated." Okay, Elias saying this?! In the episode of Smirke's statement, where the sky blinks at him? I just realized how many of those conversations fit the tone of the respective episode (without the obvious, like MAG 125, 128, 131, 133, 134 etc). Of course MAG 122, Jon waking up from the dead with the Zombie statement. MAG 124 Left hanging and Martin left Jon hanging. MAG 127 A letter to Jonah with Jon's door motif talk and Basira visiting Elias. MAG 129 opening with Jon and Martin before THE anchor statement. I don't know, MAG 130 maybe? It was about a ritual and the Web suggested this tape to Jon for further preparation of the Eye's mass ritual. MAG 135 talking Basira into a potential Dark ritual after the statement about the creation of that ritual. And then that mean red herring in MAG 136, Web statement with Melanie's therapy (Jon later worries, that Melanie's therapist could be Web). Also like the way Elias talks about Peter, they really sound like a divorced couple xD

MARTIN: "Yeah, well. I’m still not sure I really believe it. (long exhale) A,And I don’t… I – I’m –" ELIAS: "Worried he might charge off into another coffin." [HE MAKES A SMUG LITTLE SOUND.] ELIAS: "Quite." I love how Elias ships Jon and Martin.

ELIAS: "As for why I’ve done so little about such a looming existential threat, (sigh) to be blunt, I have been rather busy." Martin laughs at him, but it's true. He's still pulling strings from the inside of his prison cell and he's going to be very successful with it.

MARTIN: "What? (small dry laugh) That’s it? No, no monologue, no mind games? You love manipulating people!" ELIAS: "That makes two of us." Iconic lines. Web!Martin! Btw no wonder the Web supports Jonah in his scheme, he's quite talented at manipulation himself.

ELIAS: "I simply have to trust that when the time comes, you’ll – (rattle) – make the right choice." Like not to kill him.

"My dear Jonah," Pffft...

"What we built at Millbank should be left well enough alone, resigned to the nightmares of the reprobates and brigands contained within its walls." This statement is such a tease about what's going to come!

"It is telling, that of those I have brought into my confidence, it is only you and I who have continued this far without falling to one power or another, despite all my instruction and work. This is, of course, assuming you have not taken the path of the Eye that I know has called you, called us both for so long." Was this after the Watcher's Crown? -> “ What we built at Millbank should be left well enough alone, resigned to the nightmares of the reprobates and brigands contained within its walls.” That sentence sounds like it. So that ship has sailed? This probably why they didn't stay in contact? -> “ but I feel I must break the silence that has characterized our acquaintance for these past few decades.”

"I’m sure you recall what happened with the Reform Club" MAG 35!

"but you may be unaware of some of my other experiments below the very streets of London." The tunnels for example?

"Places I have tried to cover with churches, of all things" Was there a church built by Smirke in a statement? I immediately thought about the Oratory from MAG 20, but it's in Oxford, Smirke speaks of London here. Thought about Hither Green (MAG 25) or St Paul’s Church (MAG 63), but nope. He wasn't involved in any of the buildings I just listed. Am I missing something or do we actually never hear about anything connected to a church of his?

"perhaps the site of our Saviour will be enough to contain them." Funny how some people still won't lose their faith even in full knowledge of the Dread Powers. Smirke here. I thiiink, Dekker was also religious, was he?

"I stop, and look up at the sky, that empty black nothing, and I see the edges of the horizon becoming a dull white. I cannot understand what I am looking at. And then the sky blinks." Love that foreshadowing!

"I am not a fool. I know well enough what this dream is likely to mean, and I warn you again, that if you have any remaining ambitions to use our work, to try and wear the Watcher’s Crown, you must abandon them!" I know there's this discussion about what the Watcher's Crown actually was, Jonah's prison soap opera or using the Archivist. And, I think, there was something about Jonny saying the Watcher's Crown was Jonah's prison thing and what we see in MAG 160 could be called, like, the Magnus Archives, ha! But the title "Watcher's Crown" does fit the Eyepocalypse pretty well. Jonah calls himself "king of a ruined world" - king and crown and such. And the Eye ruling over all the other Fears like a... United Kingdom (badum tss!). (Also, Gerry says in MAG 111 "Uh, the Rite of the Watcher’s Crown. It’s what she called the ritual for the Eye. She didn’t tell me much about that one, just that she knew how to take care of it." This sounds like Gertrude called the ritual to come the Watcher's Crown. And she knows how to take care of it, sounds a bit like she already knew that the Archivist is the linchpin to the Eye's ritual. I say "a bit" because in the end there is no confirmation that this was exactly what she knew at this point. Gertrude still believed single Fear rituals could work, or she was at least still trying to stop them just for good measure according to MAG 137, which was in October 2014. And I think we don't know an actual death date of Gerry? Just late 2014...)

"But what is not to be dismissed is when your driver, on the long road from London, takes his eyes from the horses and begins to turn his head, slowly at first, but with a clear determination, inch by inch without ceasing, neck cracking and skin stretching, until his whole head seems as though it were placed atop his shoulders in reverse by some careless sculptor. The others in my carriage seemed not to mark this awful sight, but I could scarce look away" This describes the dream logic the Fears bring with them. How they can bend reality just a bit to their needs. Like Martin being trapped by Prentiss, who spent two weeks in front of his flat knocking at the door without any of his neighbors noticing anything!

MARTIN: "Good luck, Jon; I –" love you. (There, finished it for you, you're welcome <3)

Yet another vent post. Do not read if not in the right mental space. In fact I advise not reading at all I just need to get this out of my head and my notes app is too sacred for this shit

Recently read a post by cryptotheism about Hindutva. I’m a Hindu, by birth and also by choice. I agree with a lot of stuff in it, and question a lot of stuff in it. I know by now that there is nothing on the internet that I can trust immediately.

My dad is probably a more religious guy than me and a lot of my knowledge of the religion comes from him and his readings of actual Hindu scriptures. I like the fact that he can quote the scriptures for me (I can’t read them myself) because it’s not just things he’s making up or misremembering, it’s things that are actually the real thing. And in this way, Hindutva has always been the word that is the name of the religion. Like Christianity, Judaism, Islam. It’s just a name for the religion. I’m a Hindu. I follow Hindutva.

And reading cryptotheism’s post was like a punch to the ribs because “radical Hindu nationalist movement” doesn’t mean anything close to the name of the Hindu religion.

Tomorrow I will do some digging. But tonight I just looked at the Wikipedia page for Hindutva. And some linked pages.

I LIVE in india. I have lived in MANY places in india. When I haven’t been in india, I’ve been pining to be in India because England never treats me like I belong on this earth. And because of that pining I try my best to find ways to connect to India, to know things about what’s going on, so I don’t feel too far away from home.

There’s a subsection on the page titled “Hindutva violence”. Already those two words don’t go together in my brain chemistry but I know that my parents and friends aren’t infallible so I read it. Maybe it’s just that it’s 1am and I’m barely functioning but. The content was just on the ban of cow slaughter. I couldn’t see the parts about the violence. I’ll check again tomorrow when I’m awake but. If it really just is about the ban against cow slaughter, how is that violence.

I already know there’s a lot of anti-Indian propaganda that I highly doubt literally anyone is aware of, even Indians living in the UK. My own friends and teachers were horrified when I informed them I’m moving back here, which confounded me because I have been ecstatic. Then I’m told what BBC portrays India as. And I can see why they’re scared for me. We were given an assembly on the Ramayan in school in the UK and it was the most horrendous rendition I’ve ever seen of the story and it was - surprise surprise - by the BBC. It was like someone had skimmed through a child version of it, not thought of it for years, recalled it as a fantasy book and rewrote it filling in the gaps with their own imagination. At the end of the assembly people in my form were LITERALLY saying “well that was fucking unbearable” BABES SAME HERE BUT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.

My dad would probably call himself islamophobic but the thing is he literally isn’t. I have plenty of Muslim friends and he 100% does not have a problem with it. He treats them like he treats any of my friends. When he says people would call him islamophobic is when he’s talking about events such as the thing with the Kashmiri Pandits and things. I genuinely do not see how that is islamophobic it is just antiterrorism and anti-massacre-people-because-you-don’t-like-them. He’s the same way with the British colonialists in India 100 years ago. He has plenty of English friends. He does not hate them. He hates the things those colonists inflicted upon so many Indians. Not just Hindus, ALL Indians were affected.

I am perfectly open to discovering that something I thought about my religion is wrong or something I thought about the history of my country is wrong, but all I ask for is the proof for it.

On one of the reblogs of something cryptotheism reblogged on the radical religion stuff was a person with the tags going something like “btw Hindutva is bad. If you see someone on here with an Indian flag in their bio or profile, beware” which. What. Genuinely what. I don’t know how to express just how bamboozled I am by a take like that and I can’t even begin explaining to myself why I have a problem with it. A country’s flag in someone’s bio. Are you fucking kidding me right now.

It’s 2am now maybe I’m just not functioning properly so I’ll look at this again tomorrow morning and see if I’m missing something because I really feel like I’m missing something here. There’s gotta be something I’m not seeing if people are this invigorated against having an Indian flag in your bio. Because if not, seriously, what sort of media are people consuming. It’s depressing. Here I am with my little family and few friends trying to live in the only country that ever treated me like I have the right to exist. There in the distance I hear the local mosque saying their daily prayers on loudspeaker for everyone within a 5 mile radius to hear. So fine with that. But it’s a problem if I want to go to a fucking temple because apparently I need to pay for that privilege.

#tw vent #genuinely don’t read this if you’re going to take my nighttime ramblings seriously #i dont even know if I made much sense and I don’t want to be attacked for saying the wrong thing

asks for you bc i’m bored

fav food?

fav drink?

fav show?

fav subject? (i feel like i already know this one but i might be wrong so)

fav snack?

comfort food?

weirdest food you've ever eaten?

most out of character thing you've ever done?

wallpaper?

if you could have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

any phobias?

is there anything you’d wait in line for a week to do, see, or get?

if you could name your brain, what would you name it?

where do you want to travel the most?

you don’t have to answer all of them or any at all if you don’t want to!! they’re very random lmao

you can answer privately too if you’d like <3

OMG HI i should be sleeping but this is more fun:

(strap in bc it turns out that i cant choose anything for the life of me, and i enjoy oversharing)

fav food: i cant….choose. being a basic bitch id say like chicken curry and rice bc idk 🧍‍♂️it’s good. but uhhh i love chinese food generally, like oh man. duck pancakes w the cucumbers and sauces and uh, the noodles and the pork and chicken and dumplings and bao buns (i am aware this sounds terrible to others, but i am drooling)

fav drink: ooh oreo milkshake, or if we’re talking standard drink from the shop, specifically fanta fruit twist (it’s also the colour i would dye my hair btw). my go-to is always generally water tho 🤭

fav show: i cant choose…. maybe like friday night dinner, she-ra, and strong girl bong soon

fav subject: english <3

fav snack: OH um. i love choc chip muffins or choc chip cookies tbh, also brownies!!!!

comfort food: any type of chicken curry and rice

weirdest food i’ve eaten: i really haven’t eaten anything weird. i don’t eat any red meat very often apart from pork, sooo idk. (i’m thinking meat wise here btw) i guess i’d say pig intestines - look it sounds bad, but if you think abt it, lots of people are eating all the other parts of the pig w/o thinking about it. my bro once ate crocodile at a farm once tho which was pretty wild (apparently it tastes like chicken)

most out of character thing ive ever done: see i cant really answer this because i’m just so different in diff situations or w diff people, but i honest to god think that it’s saying i love you to all my online friends. like. id never ever do that in real life. i find it extremely hard to show my emotions, it’s so awkward and uncomfy.

wallpaper: for a moment there i couldn’t decide whether u were asking abt my literal wallpaper or my phone wallpaper…. i’m still unsure… but my lock screen is reg and sirius, and my home screen is the marauders. and if ur asking abt my bedroom, i got lilac walls 🙈

if i had an unlimited supply of smth, what wld i choose: ohhhhhh oh. fuck idk. ummm money??? lmao 😭😭😭 maybe time with my cousin (she’s my fav person and she doesn’t live in the same city + she’s going to uni after next year so my chances of seeing her are slimming)

phobias: the ocean/any big body of water, death (big big emphasis on this one) and ummm like dolls and clowns- actually i’m scared of so many things, the list could go on and on

smth i’d wait in line to see/do/get: i’d wait in line for a hug from mitski tbh

if i could name my brain, what wld i name it: WHAT SORT OF QUESRIONS ARE THESE 😭😭 good lord. id name it the fucking universe. i had this thing when i was younger where i started this universe and kept building characters upon characters until there were hundreds and i knew each of their intricate storylines and id act them out and it was actually bad bc i couldn’t focus on anything else for literal years (there you go, big moons secret - not rlly a secret, i’ve said it before) so yes. there is an entire universe up in my brain probably.

where do you want to travel the most: i wanna go to the south of france + tokyo + venice, but i heard it’s not all that. my fav places that i’ve been to are vietnam and america which r two very different places and i adored them - vietnam more for the food and culture and surroundings, american more bc of family + tourist attractions + theme parks. so. maybe one of those wins.

#aris tag 💜#i overshared by a mile #but at least u know me better now 🤗🤗🤗#moonbars #might be mistakes in this but shhhh

Anyway since I made the blog I figure I should tell you about MY turtle iteration.

It’s a little hard to explain bc it doesn’t have a theme like gumys superhero one but! I’ll do my best. (I call it the baroque verse)

They end up meeting Bishop, who in this au is not only a cyborg but a woman (#feminism) with a mysterious past. Bishop offers to help them overthrow earth, on the condition they promise to give her a share of land. But in truth, she’s actually manipulating them for her own insane means and will probably kill them once she has what she needs. What does she need? It’s a secret (I haven’t figured it out yet she is the newest character I’ve made)

So, she builds them a vast robot army. And this is where Splinter and Sherdder come in. (In this one, shredder is splinters DAD!!)

Basically, there was a war between the hamatos and their rival clan, the Foot, in Japan. The hamatos win, ofc but this feud ends up killing sakis wife. (splinters mother). So, saki leaves the hamato clan to his pupil and him and splinter run off to America. However, they end up getting caught up in all the Kraang business, and realize that they kinda don’t want the world to end, actually, so they start their own sort of father-son rebellion against the aliens. Yay, bonding! (They actually have a very healthy relationship)

One night, they hear that the Kraang are planning to experiment more with biological soldiers, and bishop has crafted a special serum (mutagen, what else). Splinter and his father mosey on over to hq to check it out and lo and behold! They’re experimenting on innocent baby turtles! Splinter and Saki that they have to save those baby turtles from what is sure to be their demise (god forbid women do anything) and decide to launch an ambush right then and there. A lot of shit happens. Mutagen vat explodes. Walls crumble and the building comes down. Splinter (a freshly mutated Ryukyu spiny rat) snatches the turtles (who somehow fell into a mutagen puddle that had a live electrical wire in it and lived?? We’ll get to that later) and Saki and Bishop disappear.

Splinter declares his father dead and drags the babies to the sewers to raise them as his own, because what else is he supposed to do? Turns out, surprise, each of the babies have unique super powers. Terrible twos? More like “asleep on your feet fur singed off depressed as hell what did I do to deserve this at least my oldest is somewhat behaved oh wait he’s deaf how am I supposed to accommodate him I don’t know fucking sign language and I can’t look it up I’m a rat I don’t have a goddamn cellphone Jesus Christ Leonardo stop electrocuting your brother” twos!!! hahah am I right!

Fast forward 15 years. The turtles birth order (oldest to youngest) goes Donnie, Leo, Mikey, Raph. Donnie is a spotted pond turtle, Leo is a River cooter, Mikey is a gulf coast box turtle, and Raph is an albino wood turtle. As stated before, Donnie is deaf and uses a modified mix of ASL (finger spelling) and BSL (for everything else) around his brothers, and AAC around his father and certain other people who don’t know his special Frankenstein sign language. All the turtles powers in order of birth order are Foresight (which, for extra angst points, give Donnie seizures if they’re super major visions!) Electricity powers, fire powers, and density manipulation.

Oh btw, remember how Saki was declared dead? HES ALIVE. He’s just been brainwashed by the Kraang for the last 15 years and now his only goal is to kill splinter and his turtle children! Also, in the first few years of his captivity, he was so depressed and lonely that Bishop made him a robot daughter and fitted her with ai for him to talk to and spar with. That robot is Karai, and she eventually gains sentience.

That’s it for now I think. Wasn’t expecting it to get that long lol. Oops

wait holy shit this goes hard.

Might as well post this more comprehensible summary of everybody’s origins in my iteration(this was technically an infodump I made at a mutual, but it works)

I suppose I’ll start with the Kraang. I’m this one there’s only like. 4 of them. They came from the dimension x planet to earth bc on dimension x they were kinda losers bc they couldn’t do anything right, so they were all like “well show them! We’ll go to earth and transform it into a habitable place!” (Dimension x is experiencing a huge overpopulation crisis, so a whole new planet to live on would benefit them massively) They end up meeting Bishop, who in this iteration is not only a cyborg but a woman (#feminism) with a mysterious past. Bishop offers to help them overthrow earth, on the condition they promise to give her a share of land. But in truth, she’s actually manipulating them for her own insane means and will probably kill them once she has what she needs. What does she need? It’s a secret (I haven’t figured it out yet she is the newest character I’ve made)So, she builds them a vast robot army. And this is where Splinter and Shredder come in.

Chapter 10

ayo the pizza here

I guess Dusknoir is a pizza now 😜

I definitely could not keep this to one part unfortunately because there’s a lot going on plot-wise. Click here for Part 2!

It sure is! We’re back from the expedition, rested up, and now we’re as fresh as spring chickens, with no Team Water Meanies in sight. Boy, I sure hope that’s the end of Things Happening for a while-

...Crud.

Clefable is stumped, Andrea argues with Mewtwo over the sentry’s expertise, and then:

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me.

(I’m never gonna get over the character’s saying the wrong name at first btw.)

It’s ACTUALLY GULPIN!!!

Okay no wait a second, I’m legitimately upset about this 😭

A Tragedy in Two Parts:

*Sighs* It was etched into the stars the moment I clicked “Generate.” No use crying over it now.

It’s one thing to lie. It’s another to lie convincingly.

“Didn’t learn a thing about anything” well we learned there’s a forest. And it’s foggy. And that sucks.

He’s going to stay where?

Also I’m sure this will have absolutely no bad consequences at all :)

Well. At least the duplicate Gulpin makes shots like this hilarious. He’s right there!! 🤣

Oh but speaking of Nautical Cottage! The rest of our shops are finally open!

A prehistoric trilobite will take care of any eggs we’re awarded. I haven’t received any yet, but I will post about it if and when I get my first!

Gastly will open our treasure boxes! Kind of fitting for it to be a Ghost, actually.

I actually had a growing pile of treasure boxes, so this was very welcome. Just for funsies, here’s the before and after:

Not a bad haul at all! Also laughing because I have like three Icy Flutes at this point.

I brought my exclusive items to Dodrio, curious to see if there was anything worth bartering for, and-

HELLO?!

I’ve never made a trade so fast in my life! Also idk why Togepi is replaced with Geodude here sdhfgdfdfsjd

Then I went to the cafe real quick to consume my Gummis and-

The abrasive Sneasel is replaced with a freaking Pichu.

On to the jobs. I’m not sure how exactly, but this description finally made the oddities of the Kecleon shop click into place for me. Why could I get a Wonder Gummi for free? Why could I pilfer some Rare Fossils and not get aggro’d for it? Why am I able to just pick up this Golden Mask and walk away?

Because these items aren’t normally offered in shops. I just assumed the “Thief!” script applied to every item taken from a shop without paying. And it does, normally. But it doesn’t cover items not meant for sale! Because why bother?

Hehe, that just means more goodies for me 😈

(This was a few days later but LOL... Buddy, I got some News for you.)

Andrea wanted to learn Helping Hand and I went “Eh, why not? Could be useful sometime.” So I exchanged it for Iron Defense, which hasn’t been super useful so far.

Later that day:

Smh, y’all need to get a life. Just take the L and go.

Sure *hands a shovel* start digging.

Aw, hey little guys! Haven’t seen you in a while.

Just a reminder: these fellas were looking for an item they lost when Drowzee Sandshrew took advantage of them.

Yay!

...Not yay.

I was browsing through my TM’s and noticed I had Octazooka. Line-of-sight range, water-type STAB, decent PP. Quick Attack seemed like a fair trade.

Pro tip: Don’t do this. I ended up regretting it (you’ll see why later). What I should have done was get rid of Helping Hand. Honestly, I’m probably going to the move reminder the moment the opportunity presents itself.

In other news, we’ve been killing it in the rare items department:

I guess these items are worthless since everything is randomized but... hey, it’s a cool keepsake!

Later that night, Tropius delivers the harrowing blow:

Agh. Heart attack narrowly avoided.

o7 Yessir

Oh, I can.

(I also love that the transition here is “I wonder how Bonsly is doing?” / “They told! They told, dammit! F*ck those guys.”)

Actually, if you think about it, he’s known about the Time Gear for negative time. Since the future he comes from hasn’t happened yet? Wibbly wobbly timey whimey stuff.

Team Heavenly has visitors! But they’re not here for a social call...

Hysterical Hospice. Amp Plains... is known as Hysterical Hospice.

Uh, yeah, I’d say so! Like the “Chaw-haw-haw!” at the end wasn’t a dead giveaway.

Kakuna goes on about how the dungeon is filled with electric types and he’s no match for them. First, if that’s the case, then a water/flying duo is screwed lol. Second, I think that’s the least of your problems, buddy. Believe me, I’ve had cocoon Pokémon teammates before, and they don’t even move! It’s a real mood killer.

With that in mind, we naturally answer the call.

Before we left, a Gummi drink gave me a new IQ Skill: Brick-Tough! This is a very welcome addition. As you can see, now Teresa’s and Andrea’s HP is nearly the same!

Alright, the image limit is fast approaching, so read on in part 2!

I’ve been pretty scarce lately, haven’t I? last week this was because uni was demolishing me, but lately, it’s been more about, ehum, the downside of spending like 50% of your social time in Fire Emblem communities when a new game releases, precisely in the middle of the aforementioned demolishment by uni

I’m still probably going to be ignoring non-direct notifications for the next while or so, but now that I’ve finally gotten my hands on the shiny new toy too, I’m eager to become part of the problem for everyone else!

and on that note, I’m here to post my impressions of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes as of the start of ch4

maybe this should go without saying, but goddamn, the DIFFERENCE that it makes to be back to having a protagonist with their very own dialogue as well as a discrete personality. Shez and Arval’s back-and-forths really get the most out of the “gremlin living rent-free in your brain constantly complaining about your dumb ass decisions” by actually having two participants to it. even the none-too-revelant dialogue pick prompts are a lot nicer now that Shez will actually verbalize the option that you pick, which also means you really get the most out of all the funny and/or mean options-

also, Arval is cute and I want to pinch her cheeks no matter how gross the texture there probably is

plus she forced Shez not to call Alois out on telling dad jokes. she gets it

on a related note, I’ve only had this version of Byleth for like three voiced lines, and I’ve already seen more charisma than anything they’ve done in the entirety of Three Houses. y’know, Jeannie Tirado is a phenomenal voice actress -- actually giving her lines to read brings that out all of a sudden, who woulda thunk? (somewhere between this and Xander Mobus complaining about how few actual lines he had as Persona 5 Joker, I’m arriving at the perhaps bygone conclusion that one should maybe not waste highly talented voice actors on silent protagonists-)

anyway, it’s funny as hell to me that they went to all the bother of setting up the whole “hey, you’re a garreg mach student now!” thing, only to shut the academy down and send everyone home in 2 chapters. also I hope Leonie got a refund-

I’m digging the gameplay so far; I was a bit worried that it seemed to be trying to spin too many unique plates at once -- I will, of course, really see yet how all these interlocking systems hold up throughout an entire game, but in this early juncture, it actually feels like everything has a place and nothing is encroaching too hard on anything else.

on the other hand, though, I think I can see what people mean when they said the original Fire Emblem Warriors was surprisingly headache-inducing for a Warriors game. I enjoy the tactical aspect, but it feels like it comes at the detriment of direct gameplay; you decide what everyone’s going to do, it feels awesome, and then you’re like, wait, what am *I* going to do now-

(”I never quite understand which character I’d rather be playing as at a given time” was also a thing that hassled me in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, though, so I guess this is just how Warriors game are designed now. that, or I had it too good with the original Hyrule Warriors)

also, apropos of nothing, but I’d not realized how fucking sweet Ignatz’s new outfit is back at the character trailers. holy fucking hell the man is oozing drip alongside all that paint

(ETA: and how could I forget to mention Holst??? they had me at “ProZD is doing his voice btw” and what can I say, promised and delivered)

if you’ve been beholding my wretched reactions to things so far, though, you know what the thing I’ve REALLY been looking forward to in this game is. and...

just the ch4 basecamp has already hit me with TWO long documents about little details about the Alliance, including new details about the local economy as well as more lords, territories, and details thereof. even Acheron has a household name and even a full name now! and they went and gave him one of the most badass fucking full names of anyone in this verse-- but I digress; I can see I’m going to be eating out of this game’s hand when it comes to worldbuilding. which is to say, I’m high up in the clouds right now, ready for Claude’s first named murdercousin (brother, apparently?) to fly by with his wyvern and kill me instantly.

Dev Blog #26

HEEEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Lol. I have no reason for shouting like that. Maybe I’m trying to compensate for the uh, somber tone of the last update? Y’all, at the risk of being too transparent, being mentally ill is a full-time unpaid job and I am broke 😭

To everyone who reached out in various ways after said last update, thank you. Truly. I know a lot of the community haunts the Twitter and Discords spheres, but it’s nice to find support here on Tumblr. Also also ALSO to the devs who share their struggles on here and get a little personal sometimes??? I read those posts and hug them to my chest and imagine I’m giving you a big hug too because wow you guys are awesome and you give me a little strength to be awesome too. Or fake at being awesome lol.

So. What’s good y’all?? I’m going to try and keep this HSDJY related but sometimes I get off track. As y’all are aware!

I finally through up an updated/cleaned up version of the demo that I believe truly reflects HSDJY’s current state and can now rest easy about not having to touch it again. I threw it up without fanfare, but I guess people noticed because the download number shot up???

I also got another beta build to my testers and I’m hoping to get 2 more before/within early August.** If anything, this process has taught me that Butler and the upload process are not the scary monster under the bed. What an actual relief.

Bonus content/epilogues that I mentioned I’ve been working on? Issa mess guys. I’m still in the same place progress wise I was whenever I last gave y’all an update. And with us shimmying over to August, and with me trying to have all my ducks in a row by September 30th (that is a hard set, self-deadline btw), it’s becoming a game of deciding where to divert my remaining energies. I’ve still got key art I need to straighten out with my artist, credits to finalize (beta testing is FUNNY because do people really not want to be credited for their efforts??? Some of them are scaring me guys, just gimme a fake name 😭 I was actually stressing out over this with my dad and sister, and my dad’s like just do a general thank you and my brain just 🤯 because he’s right.)

I haven’t done any hard work when it comes to marketing my game, partly because of Events, and partly because I’m chicken, but I’d like to start reaching out to streamers. I mean...if I put something in a dev log, now I’m accountable right?????

I think we’ll end things here?

- Gemini 💛

**pretend this is a footnote. GUYSSSS I was so anxious and physically sick about doing testing, that when I got the interest, I thought my crocodile brain had overreacted. again. well jokes on me because many of my fears weren’t unfounded and I had to reach out to others to ask if they had some time on their hands to help me out. I think the next time I enter testing, I will look to do it internally because...people have lives, things happen, and it’s a bit easier (to me) to follow up with people you’re acquainted with over strangers lol.

Hi! I read your faq, and you state you don’t mind printing your fics on A4 paper, but don’t want people to use a service to get your fics made into books (that is completely understandable btw as it could have legal repercussions for you.) How do you feel about people hand-making books for personal use? I’d love a physical copy of your fics, but I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.

Ello. First of all thank you for asking the question. Being totally honest I haven’t worked out how I feel about this yet - I do sometimes come across people who have made my fics into hand-bound books and on the one hand I really want to feel honoured that someone has enjoyed my writing enough to do this, but on the other hand I feel a bit annoyed if it’s been done without my permission. A wise friend of mine said “binding an author’s fic without asking is like getting a tattoo without the artist’s permission” and I think that’s kind of where I sit. It does especially piss me off when I then see people sharing the “books” they’ve made on TikTok, because it’s never about encouraging their followers to read the fic themselves - it’s about using my creative work for their own clout. Maybe it shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does and maybe other authors would just feel really flattered by it and maybe it’s hypocritical of me, given that I’m using someone else’s characters in my stories in the first place (although I do think extreme-AU fanfiction using minor characters sits in a slightly greyer space), but that’s just where I am with it at the moment. Maybe I’ll change my mind on it at some point.

There’s also the question of how much control I’m allowed to have over my own creative work. When my fics exist solely on AO3 under my own account, I have complete control over them. I can change them, I can update them, I can delete them entirely. As soon as people start taking them and duplicating them in other mediums, I lose that control, and that does make me uncomfortable.

Aside from anything else, the stuff I write isn’t meant to sit on bookshelves alongside published novels - it’s fanfiction and its home is on AO3, and that’s okay. I’d love to write a novel one day and publish it and have that be an actual physical book, but that’s not what A Brief History of Dragons, for example, was ever supposed to be. If people want to print my fics for accessibility reasons then absolutely go for it, but if they want to make hand-bound books from my writing just because they want to “own” a physical copy of it, that feels like a different thing to me.

I’d love to hear thoughts from other fanfic writers on this question as like I say, I’ve still not quite figured out how I feel about it.

hi miss evie!! can i ask u a question? so i’m a virgin and i have been on nsfw twitter for the past two months, anyway i’ve met a lot of cool people, most people i meet tell me that they wanna take my virginity, which i’m cool with! but i have a breeding kink n the guy i’m gonna meet up with next month wants to cum in me, which i’m also cool with!! but i don’t wanna get pregnant, i don’t think i want to take birth control, i don’t want it to mess me up, n this guy reallllly wants to cum in me, any advice u can offer? btw i’m 20, he’s 29

hooo boy nonnie. this is gonna be long, and i apologize in advance

first of all: i’m glad you have made the decision to have vaginal sex for the first time. even though virginity isn’t a social construct and all, it’s still kind of a big deal. so its excellent that you’re taking control of your experience. that’s awesome, and i’m so happy for you 💜

second of all: birth control may mess with your body a little bit (depending on what you get), but a baby will mess with it a whole lot more (and i say this as a woman who has a child)

also, abortions are expensive, and (depending where you are) potentially illegal

whatever you decide to get/use for birth control, you need to decide soon. some of them take a few weeks to a month to actually begin working, so if you’re meeting this guy in a month with the intention of having unprotected sex, you need something on board NOW

there are definitely options for non-invasive/non-hormonal methods of birth control, and this isn’t something you want to leave until the last minute. if you haven’t already, talk to your gyno about it asap. make sure you let them know specifically that you intend to have unprotected sex, and super duper do not want to end up pregnant

now. regarding the guy (and only because you asked for general advice): i am begging you to be sure you’ve vetted this guy. generally speaking 30-something-ish guys who are scouting the internet for sexually inexperienced, barely-out-of-their-teens girls are—generally speaking—not the sort of guys you should trust around your vagina

everyone here knows that people online aren��t always trustworthy, so it’s important for the both of you to specifically state what you expect from this encounter. you don’t want to meet this guy and find out he thinks foreplay is for chumps and he plans on shoving in dry

and make sure this guy has a recent sti test on paper, that he brings to you in person

lastly (and please note this is strictly a mother hen thing—i can’t help it, i’m mom to a teenage girl, and also a sexual assault survivor) i would strongly suggest that this encounter take place somewhere where you can have friends nearby. that way, if things get out of hand, you can shout for help with the assurance that someone will be right there to help. for instance—a hotel room with some friends next door, with a copy of the room key, and instructions to come tearing in like a bat out of hell if you shout pelican (or something like that). i’m not saying he’s definitely going to be an asshole, but you don’t know him. so you should go into this encounter with the peace of mind that you have backup if anything does go wrong. it’s sort of like bringing a designated driver with you if you plan on drinking

i had vaginal sex for the first time when i was 15. and while it was an awkward, uncomfortable experience, it was with someone i knew, and trusted. so i had a reasonable expectation that i’d come out of the experience unscathed. but not everyone is so lucky their first time. so having some common sense precautions in place will help you feel in control of the encounter, so you can let go and enjoy the experience

good luck, and have fun nonnie 💜

honeypie i hope you know you are the only person who can get away with calling me bbg unironically and make me feel all giddy and hair twirly 🤭

but i’ll be patiently waiting for whenever you choose to write me~ 🤭🩷 and yes i know it’s been 2 years but i still haven’t stopped lip biting and i probably never will !!!!!

IM CONSIDERING PLAYING COD JUST FOR THE NEW NICKI MINAJ SKIN LMFAO but i know nothing abt nothing so you let me know what i should do cuz i trust you 😇

also how was your day today?? read: ramble to me right neow 🤬🩷‼️ i hope it was a wonderful one :> we’re currently watching hamilton for english class and tee bee aitch i never really cared for the historical context (not anymore thanks to collegeboard 😍) i just liked the songs lolll

also smoochy poo is so cute oh my gosh I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ACTUALLY BITING YOUR FACE (affectionately <3) MANIFESTING ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN THE WORLD FOR YOU MY LOVABLE DARLING FROOT <3

p.s. i feel kinda bad for clogging your blog w/ my foolishness and obsession for you (🤭😋😍😻😘💕🫶🏽) so feel free to hop into my inbox literally anytime i post like periodically once every month anyway 💀💀

IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS WHAT!!!! THAT'S CRAZY!!!! i lose track of time so quick frfr... UM HAPPY 2 YEARS MILOVE? also i will call you anything you please j 2 make you giddy and hair twirly teehee 🤭

^ me 2 you during every other breath i take in the past 2 years (i think this is the small version of the gif but that's SO fitting)

COD!!! cod mobile i would kiss on the mouth actually. takes up a lot of space on my phone and updates ALL the time but it's great 2 pass time. always has events going and lotta in app purchases, i don't really touch either of those and assume you would havta do smth or another to get ms nicki 😞😞 BUT it is fun, always has new mini game sorta things (prop hunt once, currently doing some kinda zombie game)

MY DAY OML!! uh uh school was ok math was a breeze(4 once!!! we talked abt triangles and i truly did Understand the Assignment), there was one Weird down where my drama teacher got at me for making a trans woman pun??? (she said the boy next door became a mummy what was i SUPPOSED to say besides being proud abt her having a child!!) definitely got my opinion uhhh interestingly changed about her. we've just hung out since i got home, went on a walk and my ✨poor poor directionally challenged self✨ was able to actually lead for once! i got us to a place AND back and i am SO cool for that. currently waiting to get some chinese food bc we got picky eaters(what was available to make wouldn't work for them) and leftovers didn't sound good for some of us(SADGE i wanted to play around with the queso...)

the songs for hamilton are so good! lin manuel miranda, love his songwriting, hate when it like... has guidelines, if that makes sense. i once read a thing about how he should just be left to make music in a garage somewhere and that's how to get his best music (which is real and accurate, btw. source? uhh just trust me)

no need to feel bad abt clogging my blog! it's mostly j reblogs nowadays, getting some personal talk in there is PERFECT frfrfr!! but i will abs take you up on that offer and drop by your inbox whenever!! by the wayyy... do you perhaps have a current favorite fictional character? :3c <3
