(Hoping this gets in time for the end of your sleepover) Does little raven ever draw on her arms with markers and show her parents her 'tattoos'? I love The Sweetest Pain series💙💙
My darling Nonnie,
Thank you for coming to say hello and for participating in my sleepover. And thank you for reading and loving The Sweetest Pain series.
So of course Little Raven loves to draw on her arms to show her parents her “tattoos!” This was SUCH a good ask and I hope you like what I did here and know that you can stop by my inbox anytime you’d like. ♥️
A Work of Art
Tumblr media
Photos are not mine except middle picture in the left hand column. My daughter painted that one. The rest are courtesy of Pinterest/Google.
Pairing: Tattoo Artist Billy Russo x F! Reader
Warnings: Pure fluff
Word Count: 1.6K-ish
Summary: Little Raven draws a LOT just like her father and she’s also a talented little artist. She has a special picture for Billy when he picks her up from daycare.
Part of The Sweetest Pain Series
As always, thank you for reading!  I appreciate it so much and comments, reblogs are welcome and encouraged. Don’t be shy to tell me your favorite part. 💕💕 💕
She was just a toddler but you could tell that she loved to draw.
Sure, give a child pieces of paper and some crayons and they’ll draw pictures for hours if you let them.
But Anna Raven was different.
She concentrated very hard on what she wanted to draw and if it didn’t come out the way she wanted it to, she became very frustrated. She was a perfectionist…like her father. And like you too, to some extent, but Billy was certainly, a perfectionist.
A trait that he definitely passed on to your little miss.
“Hi, Mommy!” Exclaimed Anna as she looked up from the table where she was drawing.
You had left work earlier than usual so you decided to surprise Little Raven and pick her up early from daycare. Sneaking up on her was tough; that little girl had very acute hearing, yet another trait she inherited from her father.
You’d always try and catch her playing with the other kids or drawing at the table. All you had wanted to do was sit and watch her for a minute without her noticing but she always did.
She dropped the blue crayon she was holding and ran over to you. Scooping her up in your arms, you placed her firmly on your hip and kissed her cheek.
“Hi, baby girl! You drawing again?” You asked her.
Anna pointed at the table she was sitting at before you came in.
“I show you!” She said, full of excitement.
Wiggling in your arms to be put down, you set her down on the floor and she took off to pick up the paper she was coloring when you walked in. The paper she handed over to you had a picture of a bird, more accurately, a blue jay.
“You drew this?!” You asked her with raised eyebrows and a wide smile.
Little Raven was swinging her arms back and forth with a big smile on her face when she answered you.
“Uh huh! I give it to Shortcake.” She said.
Shortcake was another artist that worked at Billy’s studio and she was also Anna’s favorite babysitter. Her nickname for Anna was “Little Bird.”
“Well, I think Shortcake will love that, baby.” You said, giving her a kiss on the forehead. “You ready to go home? Go see, Daddy?”
There was another picture on the table that she gave to you. It was a picture of a flower but when you looked closely at it, you realized it was a rose…like the tattoo you have on your hand.
“You keep, Mommy.” Said Little Raven.
“For me? Thank you, Anna! You’re so thoughtful.” You said. “I’ll hang it up on the board when we get home, ok?”
“Ok, Mommy. Let’s go!” And she grabbed your hand to head toward the door.
**********
Very few things on earth are more adorable than a three-year-old, fist pumping and singing along with Cherry Bomb from her car seat. The two of you loved to sing along to music in the car while on the way home from daycare.
You had started to cook dinner, when you heard keys in the door. Billy was home.
“Hey beautiful.” He said, walking through the door.
“Hi handsome, hey can you put some soap on my hands? I was just touching raw meat.” You said.
“Can I put my stuff down, first?” Billy asked sarcastically.
“Can you bite me? How long does it take you to put your backpack down, lieutenant?” You said, returning the sarcasm with a smile. “Come kiss me, while you’re at it.”
“Alright, alright. Keep your shirt on, my little firecracker.” He said with a warm smile.
Billy walked over to the kitchen sink, picked up the soap bottle and dispensed a few drops onto your hand. He gently tugged on the back of your hair to tilt your chin up so he could kiss you. Billy always kissed you like he hadn’t seen you in a week.
You definitely didn’t mind.
Billy smiled against your lips while he kissed them; he cupped your cheeks and peppered kisses all over your face.
He was so happy to see you.
“You have a good day, sweet girl?” He asked.
You replied, “Mmmm hmmm. How ‘bout you, my love?”
“Oh, I gotta show you the tattoo I did today, baby.” Said Billy, excitedly.
He pulled out his phone and showed you all of the pictures he took.
“Hey, where’s our mini firecracker? Anna?!” Billy called out.
The two of you heard little footsteps running down the hallway.
“Daddy!!!” Yelled Little Raven.
Billy tossed Anna in the air; her wild dark brown hair blew back away from her face as she fell back into Billy’s arms. With their matching smiles, they greeted each other like they did on any other day.
They were adorable together.
Anna picked up her pictures to show Billy.
“You did this today?” Asked Billy.
Little Raven nodded.
“This one for Shortcake.” She pointed to the bird picture. “And dis one for Mommy.” Anna said, pointing to the picture of the rose.
“Well, where’s my picture?” Billy asked her.
Little Raven shrugged, then said, “I make you one tomorrow.”
You covered your mouth to try and contain your laughter.
Billy narrowed his eyes and playfully said to Anna, “Uh huh, I see. Pictures for Mommy and Shortcake but no pictures for Daddy.”
“You get one tomorrow, Daddy.” She said.
And she toddled off into the other room.
You could see Billy was slightly bothered that he didn’t get a picture.
“Awww, handsome. She said she’d make you one tomorrow. And I did give birth to her, I should get a picture before you.” You said, starting to chuckle.
“Ok, well if I go pick her up tomorrow and she didn’t draw a picture for me, I’m leavin’ her there for the night.” He said, jokingly.
The two of you had a good laugh at that one.
*********
The Next Day
It was Billy’s turn to pick Anna up from daycare and when he pulled into the parking lot, he watched as other parents held their kids’ hands walking down the ramp toward their cars. They asked how their day was before strapping them into their car seats and driving home for the day.
When he walked inside, he didn’t see Anna right away. One of her teachers, Sally, noticed him looking around for Little Raven.
“Hi, Mr. Russo! Sooooo Anna was a little sneak today, got a hold of some markers and well…” Said Sally.
Just as she made mention of the markers, Anna emerged from around the corner where the bathrooms were. She was followed by another one of her teachers, one corner of Little Raven’s mouth curled into a sly smile like she knew she wasn’t supposed to smiling but she did anyway. The exposed skin on her arm was covered in what appeared to be every color of the rainbow and then some.
Anna had done her best to give herself a tattoo sleeve just like you and Billy have. She colored in the flower on her hand and drew more flowers up and down her arm.
Anna saw her father waiting for her. Biting down on his lower lip, Billy tried to keep a straight face and not laugh but it was almost impossible. They should know better not to leave markers out where a toddler could get a hold of them.
Billy bent down as she ran toward him. Covering his mouth so she wouldn’t see him laughing, he asked her, “Anna Raven, what did you do?”
She was laughing a little when she answered him. “I drew a picture for you, Daddy! I want it better but I messed up a little.” She said.
“It’s ok, baby girl. You did a really good job. You made your tattoos look a little like Mommy’s.” Said Billy.
Sally interrupted.
“I’m VERY sorry, Mr. Russo. We should have been paying closer attention.” She said.
Billy wasn’t upset. How could he be? Anna Raven, at almost four years old, was showing an interest in what he did for a living and she really liked it which made his heart swell.
He never thought being a father would make him so happy, so complete, but it did and also made him think about how easily his mother tossed him aside. He was a piece of her and she gave him away like he was an item of clothing that didn’t fit anymore. He didn’t fit in her life and got in the way of what she wanted most.
He couldn’t imagine doing that. Anna was a part of him, he could never outgrow her, and his love for her would always be the perfect fit.
Billy replied. “Oh don’t apologize, please. It will wash off eventually. She didn’t draw on the walls or anything, did she?” He asked.
Anna’s other teacher replied, “Nope, just on herself. She is quite the little artist.”
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and snapped some pictures of his little work of art to send to you.
Your response was,
Well she did say she was going to draw a picture for you today.
And you followed it up with a few shocked face emoji’s.
Laughing at your response, he turned to Anna and said, “Come on, little miss. Let’s go show Mommy the picture you drew for me today.”
“She like it, Daddy?” Asked Anna.
Billy kissed her forehead.
“Oh yeah…Mommy will love it.”

More Fan!Izuku because it’s sO good-
Imagine Fan!izu x Streamer!Reader..basing this off of myself shamelessly🤭 basically reader is like a singer or something…like does choir(me🤭)and sings in bands(also me🤞) and musical theater(surprise, me‼️)..also plays an instrument…but something fancy like harp yk?(I Play the harp💅) And they do like cosy lil streams of just singing and playing their instrument and Izu as the busy lil hero he is just likes their voice it somehow enchants him??? Helps him relax and calm down and he just loves hearing it and rewinding to it after a long day and reader ofcourse a loyal Deku fan but because reader is ✨shy✨ they don’t show their face while streaming (I just love any kind of reveals of identity idk) and they also keep their background minimal to not give away anything about them but one das they just have a little fangirling moment showing off their new favorite Deku Figurine and hearing praise from them drives Izu insane(in a good way) and yeah idk hope that gives you a good baseeee
#𖢥 izuku anon
omg choir twinsies !!
(also i love the harp??? i have NO CLUE how to play but it’s just so!!!! ahhh!!!! it’s so pretty look and sound wise)
Tumblr media
so yk that one artist that does the omnichord songs?? so like— that’s what you do EXCEPT!!
it’s not the omnichord!! it’s the harp!!!
rn i’m a teensy bit obsessed with lana del ray and mitski so!!! you mainly perform their songs <3
i wholeheartedly believe izuku is ‘i bet on losing dogs’ by mitski and ‘dark paradise’ by lana del ray personified!!! (lowkey projecting?)
our dear boy loves when you perform their songs. he’s tried listening to the original artists but— your covers just hit different yk?? your covers are just so pretty!!
he found you thanks to ochako and mina!! one day they were talking about streamers and youtubers they watch (because mina games obvi) and ochako talked about your streams and your channel!! she talked about how your musical talent was amazing and how soft your voice was!! izuku loves trying out things his friends like so he decided to give you a shot!!!
and he just fell in love— the moment you said ‘hi’, he felt like fainting.
from then on, he started falling asleep to your videos, and tuning into your streams when he had the free time.
from time to time you’ll do asmr streams. like whispering and talking about your day!! talking about some of the new things you’ve gotten or some of your favorite heroes!!
when you do these asmr streams they always somehow lead to you ranting about pro hero deku!!
izuku usually isn’t around when you do these asmr streams but today??? this night??? right now??? he can!! and he most definitely will!! he was lucky enough to have today off and spent the majority of the day binging your videos while catching up on sleep.
anyways
he was cooking dinner (i like to think that he cooks dinner for his mom when he visits) when he heard a ‘ting’ (he keeps his sound notifs on for work!!)
he went to check it andddd it was a twitch notif from your channel!! the title being:
asmr chat pt.15 ; p.o. box
he’s quick to open the app, immediately pressing on your streaming clip.
“hello everyone!” you whispered. only your desk showed. it had various bags and wrapped boxes on top. “i was sent gifts through my p.o. box and i’ve decided to open them on stream.” you ran your hands over a box. “we’ll open this one first!”
as you sifted through each gift, you grew increasingly excited. your fans knew you well— as they all had gotten you some form of pro hero deku merch!!
when it came to your last box, it was a sweatshirt. the fabric was soft and the perfect texture. the design— the design was your favorite. it was black with small, thin green writing of his hero name on the forearms. the upper left front of the jacket had a green outline of his hero helmet. the sweatshirt also had green accents— his signature green on all of this, of course.
“i really appreciate all of these! you all know me so well! ah! i’m seriously in awe of all of these!!” you smiled behind the camera. “i love deku, he’s my favorite hero. ever since he started out, i knew he’d be the best. he’s always saving everyone with a smile, and god— it’s amazing! he’s amazing! i don’t know him personally but i’m sure that he’s just as kind on tv as he is in real life.” you ran your hand over the outline on the sweatshirt. “i bet he’s just as cute too,” you laughed along with the chat. they knew about your big crush on the pro hero and would tease you about it during small talks like this. izuku’s face flushed and it grew hotter as he read through the comments.
oilspill.in.a.cup : manifesting the love of ur life for you bae!!!
veianna.sausagezzz : ur in love w/ him atp just find him nd kiss him
nylie.kei : VEIANNA THATS ASSAULT??
pinky✔︎ : wiggles eyebrows
you laughed as you read through these. “i’ll have to agree with nylie, here. no matter how pretty his lips are, i wouldn’t do that.”
izuku typed out a comment— not sure whether to send it or not. you two have developed a sort of parasocial relationship with one another, a one-sided admiration. though, now it isn’t exactly one-sided.
he decides to send it though. ignoring the absolute anxiety he’s feeling as he waits for your reaction.
midoriya.izuku✔︎ : i dunno, i wouldn’t mind one!
carpool.toenail : AYO!?
vieanna.sausagezzz : SEEEEEEE SEEEEE @/nylie.kei
oilspill.in.a.cup : MANIFESTED 😩🤌
nylie.kei : OHMYGODBSLEVSLDB
pinky✔︎ : IZUKU??????
“oh— uhm. oh.” you were flustered. honestly, you couldn’t speak. you were both extremely embarrassed and very flattered. and very happy that he watches your streams. “uhm i gotta go clean up— see you all later!”
Tumblr media
edit;
omg i forgot to add an end note????
ANYWAYS!! had fun writing this heheheh

After having a long think...
Even though I keep saying I'm going to go rest and stop obsessing about this, I guess I can't. I just suck at sitting still and being chill. My thoughts are under the cut out of respect for folks in the tags who don't want to engage in any drama around Seven.
Here is a list of all the push for Seven that has been noticed in the first two days (the thread is currently 30-posts deep but please do take a look):
Tumblr media
Note: I haven't vetted any of those comments. I just scrolled through them and felt so overwhelmed. It just doesn't look good, but I bow to any industry experts who have real data and experience.
Update: Artie has a good post here about Jimin's debut numbers and playlists. Also here about how Seven being promoted to radio isn't necessarily proof that it was payola and they have the numbers from credible sources to back that possibility up:
I'm just going to come right out and say it: I find payola dishonorable. It's not just advertising; it's basically bribes. And ads should never replace real people's streams.
I deeply respected that BTS and ARMY found such success without that stuff. It used to be about passionate artists, making their own music, which resonated with real people, who worked hard to promote it. It was about mutual respect.
JK's numbers don't look completely organic to me, but I don't think he had a hand in that.
I have such serious misgivings if this the direction Hybe is going in for JJK1, and have no clue how the group survives if the company picks and chooses their favorites for that kind of push. If this is the strategy for all BTS projects now, I have no idea how they can afford it. I'd really appreciate if they could come to us and try to explain how it could ever be on the up-and-up because I don't think it can.
I confess I will not be working hard at all for anything that seems inorganic. This project just looks like Scooter weaponizing Jungkook to win a dick-measuring contest with Taylor and others. I hate it.
That said, I've always been very clear that Jimin is my guide.
Jimin adores Jungkook. Jimin is working with and hanging out with Jungkook even as I type this. Jimin is choosing for now to stay with Hybe. Jimin is flying all over the world on Hybe's time and dime to work on even more projects. Jimin has more music to share with us, that Hybe is investing in. Jimin seems happy for the most part.
I will support Jimin and never move against the people Jimin loves.
I trust Jimin and give the benefit of the doubt to the people Jimin trusts.
When planning his first album, I do not believe that Jimin was told about decisions to split tracks, or skip play-listings, or what would get restocked, or if they'd buy ads for smoother streams on YouTube and Spotify or not, or what kind of articles would be written about him.
I believe Jimin had plenty of input on the design, look, feel, sound, tracks, cast, choreo, performances--all the creative aspects of his album. I think he was able to say what he needed to say and get Letter hidden on his album for Jungkook. But I don't think he was roped into strategic plans and profit and loss statements and marketing roll-outs in any great detail. I arrive at this idea based on my own experience in the entertainment industry--I could be wrong.
And so I think the same for Jungkook. I think Jungkook had input on some of the creative aspects of this single (and likely had suspicions of what working under Hybe America and Scooter might entail). I have no idea the conversations and pressures he faced around this topic, or if he simply trusted Bang PD to handle it. I don't know what all he talked about with Jimin and the hyungs.
I do know there was a time this year when he came to us on lives deeply depressed and almost lost, despondent. I know there was a group dinner where many things were discussed. And then there were many times he came to us on lives, inspired by and enamored with Jimin, memorizing and hyping up his work with such pure adoration, even as their own company refused to even mention Jimin's successes.
So I ask myself: does Jeon Jungkook really have it in him to steal Jimin's ideas or push himself out ahead of his hyungs, embracing unequal treatment and unfair advantages, just so he can be the one to make it big in the West?
And in looking for that answer, I'm reminded of this clip:
No. I don't think that's who Jeon Jungkook is. At least, it isn't the Jeon Jungkook I knew.
I am sad to say I think that is exactly who Scooter Braun is and who Bang PD has become. That is what the company would do. But not our Jungkook. Not unless everyone in the group was on board with it, somehow.
Jimin is standing by Jungkook. So I am standing by Jungkook--as a person.
But I've bought Seven once and I've added it to my night playlist and that's all the moves I'm making on that project. I will not be setting alarms to vote or using extra accounts to buy or hash-tagging anything, nor getting any merch, nor requesting local spins, none of that. It's a catchy song but as the thread I linked to above shows, it is a guaranteed "success" even without me. So I'm using my energy to support Jimin and other BTS projects that resonate with me and need me.
My stance on this might offend you, and I respect your feelings. I do not identify as a solo or anti. I still think of myself as aJimin-biased Jikooker who loves the members. I am probably toeing the line of being a manti, as I feel this company has broken faith with me. Not the creative or administrative staff, but the executives. I feel like they've ended our ten-year legacy in shame.
If it gets much worse, I may just dip out of the fandom after Jimin goes into service. I don't know. Probably I will have to see how things work out for the other solo works and plans for the group for 2025. At the moment, I have far bigger things to worry about, like colitis.
I can't lie, what I've seen so far with this rollout really shocked me, gave me a bit of an identity crisis, as ARMY. I don't want to assume the worst; neither do I want to bury my head in the sand for the sake of my ship or my favorite songs.
I will always act in accordance with my own conscience, based on the limited information I have. If I get better information, I will of course update my viewpoints. If at any point that causes anyone who is friended with me distress, I will understand completely if we need to part ways. I never, EVER wish to cause anyone harm.
But I'm too sick to argue and debate too much, too long. Boraland was supposed to be a place to unwind and feel inspired, not get more stressed. These past few 1.5 years months as ARMY has been exhausting in every sense of the word. So I'm choosing to put my energy into the things that bring some joy in my life.
I'm choosing to trust and follow Jimin's lead, for now.

Here's an extra chapter from the artist.

Kaiba: What is your purpose? (何のつもりだ貴様)
Bakura: I brought mine too. So how about it? (僕も 持ってるんだ どうかな?)
Kaiba: …… I’m asking just to make sure, but are you challenging me to a duel? (…… 一応聞くが 貴様、もしやこのオレに決闘を申し込んでいるのか?)
Bakura: So it’s no good? (ダメかな?)
Kaiba: Wasn’t your deck occult-themed? (貴様のデッキ オカルトデッキだったか)
Bakura: Oh, yeah. At that time (Battle City Tournament), you must have seen his……the Millenium Ring’s spirit’s duel, but this will be the first one you’ll have with me, right? (そっか 海馬くんはアイツの… …リングの人格の時の決闘を見てるんだよね でも 僕の決闘は初めてだよね!)
Page 12 Bakura: Come to think of it, I wonder if my favorite card had been in his deck as well… …Maybe he liked that card as well… He may had been Bakura too, but now, I’m the one who chooses and draws my cards, who decides what to do beyond this point. My way of doing things differs from his. *school bell* Woah. The first bell has rung. *to Kaiba* Please let us have another opportunity to duel in the future! (そういえば 僕の好きなカードがアイツのデッキに入ってたりもしたっけ… …同じカードが好きだったり… アイツも バクラだったけど いま カードを選んで 引いて この先を決めるのは 僕だ 技とは違う わ 予鈴 鳴っちゃったね! 決闘はまた今度お願いするね!)
Page 13 Kaiba: … (⸻…)
Kisara: … Duels are amazing. Just looking at one makes your heart race. (… 決闘ってすごいですね 見てるだけでドキドキしまして)
Kaiba: …… ……A duel with the use of a Duel Disk is not the same. (⸻…… ……デュエルディスクを使った決闘は そんなものではないぞ)
Page 14 Kisara: You’re the one who made it, right…!? Amazing…! (瀬人さまがお作りになられたのですよね…!? すごいです…!)
Kaiba: That resurging vision (of past memories)…doesn’t belong to me. What happened 3000 years ago has nothing to do with me… It’s just… (蘇る記憶(ビジョン)は オレのものではない 三千年前のことなど オレには何の関係もない ⸻ただ、) …Next time… (⸻…今度)
Page 15 Kaiba: …I’ll show it to you: my company’s finest technology and my best Monster, both of which I am most proud of. (⸻… 見せてやろう 我が社の誇る最高の技術と オレの誇る最高のモンスターをな) It’s just… (ただ、)
Kisara: Yes…! (はいっ…!)
Page 16 Kaiba: …seeing this (smiling) face isn’t so bad. That’s all. (この笑顔(かお)を見るのは悪くない それだけだ。)
Page 17 *in the Underworld (in 冥界)* Priest Seto: You’re saying that arrogant and domineering fellow looks like me!!? Where (are the similarities)!? (あの様な傲慢で高飛車な男が私に似ているだと!!? どこが!!)

hiii :] favorite nin songs? i'm curious what others we might share
Hello! :) It's going to be hard not to include everything on The Fragile and Broken, but I will try!
La Mer -> The Great Below -> The Way Out Is Through -> Into The Void. I feel like these four are one continuous work and and they are their strongest together. So I will count them as "one song." Anyway, they impacted me harder than The Downward Spiral (the album) did, which I didn't think was possible. Together, they are one of my favourite works of art of all time. And as someone who went to art school I've seen a lot of incredible art in all kinds of mediums.
Please. I mentioned this in my response to your post but IT KEEPS REPEATING! WILL YOU PLEASE COMPLETE ME?! [Clears throat] I don't know what came over me just then. So basically I wasn't the same man after hearing this for the first time. In my brain, being the writer and composer of Please is one of Trent's highest accomplishments. It's that good to me.
Pilgrimage. I think this one also altered my brain chemistry. It's such a weird track and I can't stop thinking about it. Also the auditory textures are immaculate.
The Becoming. This song is everything to me. Odd time signatures that never feel steady, sounds meant to make you feel very uncomfortable, long verses that never seem to end, extremely deliberate but strange sounding emphasis on syllables, I could go on forever.
Reptile. I don't know how to explain it but this song puts me on a new plane of existence. It feels like an emotional state that is both everything at once and nothing at all. Not to mention it being an incredible work of sound design.
Sin. I wouldn't be reposting the PHM fancam every Monday if I didn't absolutely LOVE this song. It was one of the first NIN songs I heard, and I said to myself "I don't care if the rest of what this guy made is crap, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard."
Ringfinger. A track so underrated sometimes even I forget how good it is. Just generally a really good song that I love, not a lot more to say.
Happiness in Slavery. I love this one because in the intense parts it feels like the song itself is attacking me (positive) but in the quieter moments it feels like a cry for help.
Suck. I really like the balance of intensity, rage, and heavy textures mixed with quiet, sensual, and regretful moments. It's like Closer and The Big Come Down put into a blender.
Only. Immensely catchy with very relatable lyrics, this is one of Trent's best for sure. Actually, it has helped me with social anxiety. If I get really anxious that no one actually likes me, I start singing "I just made (that version of) you UP, to HURT myself" until I convince myself no one actually feels that way about me.
Sunspots. The bass in this one is just incredible, I can almost feel the airwaves vibrate through my body. Combined with Trent's gentle and quiet voice it's a very pleasant sensory experience. Great for decompression after sensory overload.
The Line Begins to Blur. I really, really love the balance of noisiness and texture contrasted with smooth gentle sounds. It's very Fragile-esque but it feels more in control, focused, and significantly less "I'm dead inside." It's truly beautiful in every way.
Discipline. To be honest, Discipline > Head Like a Hole and The Hand That Feeds. Of all the very pop and mainstream songs Trent has made (that I've heard so far), this one is absolutely the strongest for me. It's so undoubtedly Nine Inch Nails, yet fits so perfectly amongst much less alternative/industrial artists. I'm 100% recommending it to anyone who wants to get into NIN. (My Mom also loves this song, it's her favourite NIN song I think.)
1,000,000. This one is kind of amazing to me because it's like every angry depression song Trent made up to that point rolled into one. Like actually just playing them all at the same time, I feel like I'm under psychic attack (positive). It's also... Unfortunately catchy. I have to be careful not to sing it out loud.
Thank you for the ask and for coming to my TED Talk! :)

Meet Salamander!
Hi everyone! Crystal here. Every now and then I’ll be posting little updates talking about different aspects of the VN. Today I’d like to talk about one of the two protagonists of Side Future. Here’s Salamander!
Tumblr media
Salamander’s the second character we came up with for the game. The first is… the other protagonist of Side Future. You’ll have to learn about that character later, though you’ve already gotten a glimpse… anyhow, Salamander is, as you can tell, a very reckless and impulsive girl. She gets in over her head easily and has to improvise her way out of bad situations. I felt she was a good perspective to start the story from because of this. It’s just not as fun if your protagonist never makes mistakes! Her attitude also ties into her powers. Of course I had to give a hot-headed character like her a heat related power. I didn’t want to go the route of having her shoot fireballs or anything, in part because I was so set on the image of someone fighting using a baseball bat. So that became, “what if she could make the bat burning hot?”, and then, “what if she could heat ANYTHING she touches?” It was a lot of fun writing different ways she can use her power in combat. You’ve already gotten a glimpse of that, with her shattering the window, and one Slipperman’s explosive end. She’s got more tricks up her sleeve than that!
Tumblr media
She’s relatively new to the underground resistance; her teammates Meteor and Starlight have been there longer than her. I feel like she plays very well off of both their characters; Meteor’s much more precise and serious, while Starlight is more sensitive and forgiving. I hope you look forward to seeing how their relationships develop as the story goes on! 
Of course you’ve already seen another side of Sally. Underneath her confident veneer, she’s actually quite anxious and unsure when it comes to the missions her team runs. She’s a bit like a wavering flame, in that sense! This part of Salamander is probably the most personal to me. The introduction of the game, where Sally walks through a crowd of people, is taken from my own anxieties of being out in public as a trans woman. Like, of course things have been fine most of the time. Where I live people generally mind their business. But there’s always been that fear of someone ill-intentioned clocking me and deciding that today’s the day they’re going to fuck someone up in one way or another. I wish that wasn’t there, but it sticks with you, and so it’s something that sticks with Salamander. Powers aside, she’s a character who’s lived the reality of being trans in a place extremely unwelcoming to her, and those experiences are really important to the character she is.
Tumblr media
To lighten things up, let’s talk about names! Why Salamander? Well, salamanders have always been associated with fire. It’s said that people used to believe that salamanders were born from fire… though actually, they had just tossed logs that already had salamanders in them into their fire without realizing. That’s what I heard, at least! So there’s that old sort of association, but there’s also something bigger than that. And that is… I’m a big retro game fan. Can you guess my favorite Konami game? From Salamander, it makes sense to shorten it to Sally, and it’s pretty cute, too! On top of that, she has her real name, Samantha. Why all these names? I guess it’s because I know a lot of people who go by a lot of names; names used online, names used in real life, names used only with certain people… I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into the story in a way. If you ever get confused about who’s who, you can always check out their profile!
And now, a word from our sprite artist @alexidv on designing Sally!
"Hello! I'm Alexandra, and I'm the character designer and artist on All the Creeps of the Cosmos! Salamander was the first character design I worked on after joining the project, which also meant that her design would be what defined the look for Side Future, and the standard that future designs would be created to work well with. Crystal and Sadie were great at making the process as smooth as possible, though, discussing what they were envisioning for the game and answering questions, and providing reference material including photos, descriptions, and a draft of the script. The dream situation for anyone doing art commissions! 
Tumblr media
In large part due to their excellent communication, the design only had to go through a few revisions before we had settled on what she should look like, primarily involving some minor changes to her hairstyle. The first draft left her ears uncovered, which was pretty cute (you can see a doodle I made of this on the design sheet) - but at this point I'm so used to her final design that it honestly feels weird to consider anything else. 
For the in-game sprites, we went for pixel art with an aesthetic influenced by adventure games like Snatcher and the GBA/DS Ace Attorney games. As I started working on them, I did end up tweaking the proportions a bit to focus more on her face and to make the patches on her jacket read better, and did a sketch in the intended resolution that I then pixeled over, to make sure that everything would be legible even when the game camera is zoomed out. 
I'm really glad to be part of this project, and I love these characters so much... I was about to end this little write-up by talking about how Sally is one of my favorites, but as I went through the cast in my head, I'm realizing that I like all of them and that it's difficult to say that any aren't among my favorites...... Crystal and Sadie are just doing too good of a job at writing them, I guess!!" That’s all for now! Thanks for reading! Next time I’ll be talking about our inspirations for Cosmos. See you!
- Crystal

Oh Becca. Rant anon coming at you fresh after reading "choices" so my tears haven't dried yet. If this is even less coherent than my usual rambling, that's my excuse.
I know I always talk about how you understamd characterisation so, SO well (I mean "That’s what he does, tries to do anyway, make sure everyone and everything is okay. He did that, too, even when she didn’t know it. Made sure she came home and got enough and listened with pride when people said she was doing well" HELLO??? Ok queen of characterisation nobody is taking your throne that's for damn sure) but what I want to focus on this time around is the way you understand emotion. In particular, with this fic, I will be talking about grief but I really think you have a talent for exploring the DEPTH with which human beings can feel. Looking back on it now I think a huge reason I was so drawn to your writing is that it feels like you are uniquely capable of describing the profundity with which we can feel love, or sadness, or uncertainty, or shame, or loss, or joy. Emotions can reveal layers to us that we didn't even know we had and I personally find it really difficult to put all that into words, but that is something you do with incredible beauty and care. Like "Where had he put it all before, he wonders, all that love? His body isn’t big enough for it. And it certainly ain’t big enough for this much grief" I HAVE WONDERED THIS EXACT THING. I have FELT this exact thing. I have CARRIED this exact thing. To see it reflected this way in writing??? It means so much. I think this was the exact point I started crying. In Farsi we have a saying that I always struggle to translate, I guess the most literal translation is "hearts have ways to other hearts" but maybe the more correct phrasing is "hearts have paths to each other". I always think about that when I read something you wrote, bc you make me feel so deeply understood.
Then there's "It will bend over backwards just to look you in the eyes. Denial of its gaze will break even the best of them" this is a really gorgeous blend of your characterisation and emotion skills. Like this rang so true for me when it comes to my own experiences with grief, but it also made me feel like I understand Joel on a whole new level.
"He wondered, after, when they got back to Jackson and she stopped talking to him, if all that love had only ever gone one way, choked in an artery that spilled out onto the wrong avenue, like everything inside him had been built backward" OH THE IMAGERY. Really really wish I had any skill when it came to drawing bc this is the exact part I'd want to make fanart of for this fic. I don't even know what to say other than the fact that I think you are an amazing artist.
"Joel never got enough time with anyone." And also "He’s sorry that she has to see. Sorry that it takes him so long to die" made it my turn to howl. As I've been writing this to you my tears have dried and I am now just sitting with the weight of these words. Hugging you very tight over this. 💜
Rant anonnnn this mean everything to me <3 thank you for taking the time to read choices! It's honestly one of my favorite things that I've written. I'm glad you liked it too, even if it was a bit of a sad read. Thank you for always being so kind, but a particular thanks for being nice about this one. I'm actually struggling a little to find the words to tell you how much I appreciate it and that you feel so strongly about my characterization and the way emotions are described.
I'm hugging you back very very tightly over this. <3

yoo could i ask for a playlist for a tallulah qsmp fictive mayhaps? she has an insatiable hunger for music it's frightening (/silly) ,, she likes soundtracks (child of light is her current fav), stuff like the oh hellos/cavetown/bears in trees, and generally cozy sorta feeling songs, plus anything lullaby-ey if that makes sense :] hope u guys are well! sorry this is a tad long or vague hhaha -–🔉🌠
hello! Admittedly I rushed this a bit I’m not as sure about these as I was about 🌾🪶 Phil’s but I took a swing we’ll see if I missed later I guess. I tried to include as many artists as possible so you have plenty of people to look through since you said she was a bit insatiable when it came to music! I did phone in the last few songs like the lullaby-eque ones. yeah again this was a bit of a mess on my end. Though I have been writing down songs for this for a while I didn't have an easy time narrowing down things as to what I wanted to include so at this point I've just thrown my hands in the air and declared it done now. Sorry if the playlist is messy or unsatisfactory.
Art used is by @/sallomezz on tumblr and can be found here!
Hope you find something to enjoy on the playlist or in my bonus ramblings below! -phil
okay so I kinda cheated my self imposed rule of one song per artist but in my defense I couldn’t choose between Moonlight and Paperwork… They’re my two favorite Fish in a Birdcage songs and I thought both were kinda fitting so oh well both of them are there.
Anywho I could go on and on and on about how I was this close to fighting myself to the death (<- hyperbolic) over this. Let's just get to other recommendations I didn't put on for one reason or another.
Starting with musicians I put on there but didn't include a song from for whatever reason:
Myxrite! My personal favorite song Now and Again doesn't look like its on Spotify at all so uh yeah I'm linking it here because I like it a lot.
Bug Hunter is on there too but he's currently in the top ten of my favorite musicians so yeah here's more suggestions! Go With The Flow and Listen to Your Mom pretty high up there in terms of my favorite songs. Making Up Words is one of my favorites lyrically (though I must say that Disco in the Panic Room is up there too), and of course I have to mention Try My Best and Slow Burn because I keep using lyrics from them to inspire drawings (that I'll never post anywhere online). Okay fuck I need to move on before I link literally every single one of his songs lol
Same as Bug Hunter, The Narcissist Cookbook is up there in terms of my favorite musician + he put the MOTH album (one of his old ones that wasn't on on youtube yet) on youtube recently so he's been in my head a lot. Ghost Stories and UNWELCOME GUESTS (warning: unwelcome guests starts with a phone ringing noise idk my friends always get surprised by it so I'm just gonna mention it in case) are rahgjagh they are so good they exist in my head rent free
Madilyn Mei has been on loop in my head cause a friend of mine. Anyway Six Legs (tippy tappy toes) and Sleeping in the Kitchen. just live in my brain now because of them lol
The actual recommendations that aren't just more songs from folk on the playlist already:
I Fight Dragons! I fucking love them! Their music tends to have techy/8-bit noises and they're a bit more on the rock side of things but their stuff is really good! Good Morning Sunlight and Oh The Places You'll Go... They are the most <3 to me forever... Sunny Afternoon too... God I love IFD I need to make my friends listen to them with me more
If you like IFD you may also like Jonathan Coulton or the portal song guy as my friends know him lol. Nobody Loves You Like Me or Now I Am an Arsonist or really anything from the Artificial Heart Album is always my go to for showing people besides the songs from Portal (Still Alive and Want You Gone) that my friends know.
Similar to IFD, a lot of Going Spaceward's songs have techy noise in the like proper releases, but his youtube has a lot of acoustic versions of his songs that don't have those. His covers are good but really most of his music is just funky. Uh since I will absolutely not narrow this down in any timely fashion I'm just going to link the entire Can You Hear It Album and uh Count Past 23.
Joseph Dubay is a musician I only got into like a few months ago but I really like his stuff, kinda similar vibes to what i was going for with this playlist but a lot of his songs just didnt fit the vibe so I didn't feel like adding them. That being said I am obliged to tell absolutely everyone I talk about music with to listen to Pastel Goth and 4evr so yeah.
Completely different vibe but San Fermin may be of interest to y'all! Astronaut and The Woods are the ones I listen to most from them but everything about their music just scratches the brain itch for me. Their stuff is indie rock which is kinda in the genres of the bands you mentioned!
A bit of a different suggestion but since you mentioned her liking soundtracks AZALI might be a cool youtube channel to check out! They make short songs in FL Studio and idk I'll be honest I don't listen to soundtracks or things like you mentioned in that part of your ask but I do listen to every upload AZALI makes and I think they're all pretty neat. The songs are all like a minute or two long but I like to just put them on loop when I'm writing. Truth, Violence, Warmth is my go to for writing for this specific project, but Mechanical God was how I found their channel and I'm just fond of City of Shattered Glass so there those three are my suggestions.

An early birthday present to me! I'm 31 on the 25th and I'm damned happy to be here. Also, this is yet another stride forward in my ongoing deprogramming journey! The bison on my right side is a BI-SON because I love bison and puns plus now that I'm Free and Out, I want everyone to know what I'm about. The Hello Kitty Gingerbread Cookie is a Memorial tat for my Daddy and for my Sara. When I was born, Daddy said I looked just like a gingerbread cookie which led to the nickname that was just for him: Cookie. Sara Elizabeth was stolen from us by an evil and rare brain tumor (DIPG) and she adored Hello Kitty. The icing and bow are their favorite colors: purple and pink, respectively.
The Cult I escaped from is the Jehovah's Witnesses and two of the main Rules they had was no Ink and no celebrating your birthday.
I SAY FUCK THAT AND FUCK THEM. I have reclaimed my time and my life from them and I'm never going back. I've always wanted tattoos and since my sheet music orchid healed beautifully, I returned to the same parlor and got the same excellent service and fair price.
They also helped me plan my next tattoos after my Caged Bird Free on my right tricep.
My right thigh is going to have a mural of an owl holding Medusa's head because Medusa got fucked over and I always felt bad for her. That and I'm a huge Mythology nerd. After tigers, bison, and cows, the owl is my favorite animal and it's a long time symbol of wisdom. I plan on returning to the artist who did my Orchid, although everyone in the parlor is very good.
My left tricep is going to have Venusaur with its flower in the bisexual flag colors. Bulbasaur has been my favorite Pokemon since I was a kid back in the day when there were only 150 and all its evolutions are awesome. The reason I came up with the idea is because my tattoo parlor is a station for Pokemon GO, adding bonus points to how much I love it. Plus, it's literally down the street from my house. Support your local businesses, folks!
I have some transparent waterproof bandages on the way and I have plenty of Shea butter to tend to them as I heal. I have to go out and get a travel size for when I'm at the gym and I'll probably do that while I get some more extra strength Tylenol and Gatorade for the gym.
My Fibromyalgia has been kicking my ass for the last 2 months but I'm already putting my doctors on the case and 2 new pain management docs are on standby if they can't help me. I have an appointment with my surgeon to talk about more nerve ablations and to get my weight loss supplement refilled or replaced because since I haven't been able to get refills, I gained everything I lost back and then some. Thankfully, I have a consistent gym routine and I've adjusted my diet so I know the weight gain is because of that because before I ran out, I was dropping weight slowly but steadily.
I am LIVING for The Ones Who Live. It's literally a Richonne fanfic novel come to life and it's doing 2016, Pre Negan numbers so hopefully, we'll get a Season 2 and/or a movie. It's literally leaving money on the table if they don't! Plus, Andy and Danai are in the writer's room and it shows on and off camera. They understand and love their characters as much as we do and it's just refreshing! The Walking Dead is exciting AND sensible again, LMAO!
ALSO, I saw that The Admiral has joined the original Law and Order as Jack McCoy's successor. The only actor I love more than Andrew Lincoln is Tony Goldwyn so I might pull up. My main Law and Order has always been SVU and now Organized Crime since their Leads are just as entwined as the shows buuttt, I love Tony. He's a sweetheart and can you guys imagine if they put Kerry on as a guest star linked to him??? I know she's got her own projects going on but an Olitz reunion would be so cool, especially since Elliot and Olivia ARE STILL NOT TOGETHER! Jeez, just let them fuck and love each other fully! God-DAMN!
Anyway, that's what I've been doing. I'm still working on my fanfics, I promise but I gotta take care of IRL business before I can really get back in action. I AM live tweeting The Ones Who Live (my handle is Trumpetnista) so if you wanna hang out and get more updates regularly, that's where I am.
Peace and Chicken Grease, ~*Trump*~

Chapter 6: The second entry: Frozen Attitude
Author Note: Hi guys, I hope you are doing good! I don’t know if you do, but I have a Tumblr account named EmpressOfTheSunWriter, there I also post my stories and news like how far I’m with the newest chapter, if I need your opinion, if I can’t write because I don’t have time and other thinks like that. If you want you can even ask me questions about my stories! I just wanted you to know because it will be important in the future. You will know how in the end note, but for now, enjoy the newest chapter. :D
Tumblr media
“There she is!”, you shouted happily and waved Marinette over. “Hello Marinette, it’s so nice to see you again! I love your outfit!”
Indeed she looked super cute in her get-up for the ice ring. She wore a veserity jacket in black with cherry blossom along her sleeves and her pink jeans. Instead of her ballerinas, she wore pink sneakers and her hair was out of her pigtails into a cute ponytail with a little pink bow.
Gosh, you could eat her up!
Marinette blushes cutely and gave you a shy smile.
“Thanks [Y/N], I made this myself.”, she told you and played with one sleeve.
“You are a real artist, Marinette. It looks so awesome!”, told Luka smiling.
Luka still had his ripped jeans, sneakers, and his favorite Jagged Stone T-Shirt on, but he wore today the dark blue college jacket you gifted him for Christmas last year.
“Thank you, Luka…You both look good too.”, said Marinette and blushed adorably.
Could you just kiss her cheeks? That girl was too much for your heart!
Luka rubbed all shy his neck, while you did a little twirl in your outfit to show it off.
You have gone all out to impress Marinette…and Luka you had to admit.
“Thanks, Mari, can I call you that?”, you asked.
Marinette nodded.
“Mari is okay.”
“Awesome, you can call me Harmony then if you like, it’s Luka’s nickname for me.”
The midnight black-haired girl got a curious glimmer in her eyes.
“Harmony? Why Harmony?”, she wondered.
Normally you used a shortened version of the name of the person like you did with her.
Luka answered her: “Because her heartsong is the most harmonic one I ever heard. You won’t find a second person who is so…in balance, in harmony with themselves like [Y/N] over here.”
Playful he gave you a hair ruffle and you pecked his cheek for it.
“Aww, thanks baby, you aren’t bad yourself!”
Maybe you were imagining it/or hoping for it, but you could swear Luka turned a bit red.
“Mmh, I wonder what my heartsong sounds like.”, mumbled Marinette to herself, but you heard her.
“Beautiful I bet with you!”, you said passionately. “I’m a good people connoisseur and you Marinette are beautiful inside and out!”
Under your praise, she turned red like a tomato and you would bet that steam came out from her ears.
“Don’t overstate poor Marinette.”, Luka whispered to you.
“But it’s true, you told me yourself!”, you whispered back.
Before you could turn Marinette even more shy two luxury cars came up.
One silver, one red.
In one was Adrien and the second this girl Kagami.
Like someone gave her a signal Marinette turned with lovestruck eyes to the silver car.
Then that was Adrien.
Dear god, the look in her eyes was creepy you had to admit. It was like all ceased to exist and only the car in which Adrien was in it was important.
You and Luka shared a look. This was going to be a hard mission.
Adrien exit his car and waved cheerfully at you guys.
You grind your teeth and had to use any known force in the universe not to straight up walk to him and give him a punch in his stupid face.
Fucking bastard.
How dare he act like a decent human being, while he let people die?
Didn’t he have any remorse?
A Conscience?
Luka wasn’t any better than you. You saw how rigged he had become and how his hands were now fists.
Yeah, one wrong word and you both would kick Adrien’s ass into next week.
The only one happy to see him was Marinette.
She waved enthusiastically back and nearly fall over herself if you and Luka didn’t grip each one of her arms. She gave you a thankful look for that.
Adrien didn’t see Marinette little flatter, because he had gone up to open the car door for his date Kagami.
As you saw for the first time Kagami your heart stopped.
No, no, no, no!
This was so unfair!
She was a pretty girl, clearly Asiatic, with similar midnight black hair as Marinette, but she had warm brown eyes. Her build was athletic, you could see it even with her wearing a red skirt with black leggins and black boots and a black jacket with golden accents.
She hold herself proud and faced you three heads on without any sign of nervousness.
You gripped Luka’s hand hard and whispered in his ear harshly: “What the fuck?! Why is this beautiful amazon princess interested in fucking Agreste? What the fuck has he that Marinette and her worship his limpy straight-white-ass!”
“You forgot Adrien is a model.”, he whispered back. “He is good-looking.”
You gave him a blank look.
“You are good-looking, no hotter than the sun that’s why nearly everyone at school, boy, girl, whatever wants to jump your bones. That guy over there is just your typical blond boy! I wouldn’t touch that even with a 10-meter pole!”
“And that you know who he really is doesn’t disturb your look, right?”
“Of course not!”
How could Luka think that? People like him, Marinette, and Kagami were your types! 
Damn you really needed to free Kagami also from Adrien’s clutches, you wouldn’t mind going on a date with her!
Mmh…could you four maybe date all of each other…?
Adrien was surprised but happy to see you. He didn’t quite get why Marinette had invented you to their doppel date with Luka and Kagami, something about it been now a three and two date, but he wouldn’t look a gifted horse in the mouth.
This was his chance to clear his name.
Even if he had to do it as Adrien.
Anything to get his lady and Paris back in his good graces.
He still was a bit angry at her that she again denied that they belonged together, but he would make her see, how she needed him!
Anyway, he took Kagami’s hand and lead her over to you, Luka and Marinette.
Marinette stand before you two and each of you was holding one of her arms and if Adrien saw it right you and Luka were holding hands.
Mmh, how strange?
Wasn’t Luka Marinette’s date?
“Hello, Marinette and Luka! And you must be [Y/N]! It’s nice to meet you!”, he greeted you guys.
No one, not even Kagami with her sharp eyes, could see how you have done it but suddenly Marinette was between you and Luka and you were each holding one of her petite hands.
Surprised Marinette looked from Luka’s hand to yours and blushed. She felt strangely safe, being in the middle of two people who were older and taller than her.
Each hold her hand like it was something precious.
She never expired something like this.
“I bet it does, Agreste.”, you said with a fake smile. “Please call me by my last name, if you would, I don’t feel comfortable hearing my name from your lips.”
Not only shocked this Adrien but also Marinette and Kagami. No one ever reacted to Adrien in such a hostile way!
“Do we have a problem here, Miss…?”, started Kagami to defeat her crush and eyed you.
“[L/N].”
Kagami nodded.
“You are the one who made the video about Chat Noir. Thank you for showing us the true colors of this treacherous cat, but it seems you have something against Adrien and you don’t know him.”
Adrien groaned in his mind. Kagami too had now something against his other self. Had you turned everybody crazy or what?
And why did you keep looking at him, like you wanted to skin him alive? Well, not only you, but Luka looked also ready to help you skin him.
What was wrong with his friend and you?
You gave Kagami your best smile and answered nonchalantly: “I only need one look to decide if I like someone and sadly I can’t say that Agreste here is sympathetic to me. But I will be on my best behavior, I just want that Agreste accepts my boundaries…if he can!”
When you said accepts my boundaries…Adrien had the feeling you were challenging him.
But why?
“Of course, he will, right Adrien?”, turned Kagami to him.
He let something out like a yes. He was so confused.
“Then we should enter the ice rink.”, said Luka.
Adrien felt under Luka’s blue cold eyes like a mouse before a cat.
Ready to be eaten.
And normal he was the cat!
What was going on?
Well, you were now in the ice ring and putting on your skates and cloves.
You and Luka watched Adrien’s every move like two hawks, ready to jump in if a problem should arise.
But he behaved like a normal person.
Okay, it was not like you thought he would just stand up and suddenly kiss and touch Kagami or Marinette without their consent, just he couldn’t play his golden boy role the whole time!
You were sure.
No one can hide that well his true self.
Little bits always came up.
You just needed to catch him and show Kagami and Marinette what a piece of shit he really was.
It seems like you would get your chance since you saw how Adrien scoots over to be beside Marinette to talk to her.
Luka and you already moved closer. Better being near her.
“It was really cool of you to bring Luka, Marinette.”, he told her.
“Of course. That's what friends are for.”, she answered.
“Say, how do you know [Y/N]?”
There was his first slip-up. You told him not to use your first name and he just did with Marinette!
You needed to see how Marinette would handle that and if he would come up with an excuse.
She wrinkle her nose cutely and tied the laces of her ice skates.
“She told you to call her by her last name. I don’t know why but it’s better when you do it when you even talk about her, so you don’t slip up.”
Marinette was too good for this world. She actually gives him some advice?
Adrien just nodded.
“She is the one who made the Kickat-Blog too right? So how do you know each other?”, he wanted to know.
“She is Luka’s girlfriend and asked me out on a date too, so we decide to make it a three-way date.”, she explained.
You felt how Kagami looked interested over. She probably didn’t know any polyamorous people so the concept was new for her too, but she seemed only couries about it.
But the blond boy besides Marinette seemed like someone gave him the news that his cat die or something.
“What? Is this allowed? I only thought you can have a wife or a husband!”
“So you are against LGBTQ+ people?”, you said with a voice colder than the ice of the ice ring.
Luka stood beside you and fixed Adrien with his coldest glare.
Even Kagami and Marinette looked shocked at him. Like they couldn’t believe what he just said or like they never thought he could say something like that.
Adrien looked between you all and turned red.
“What?”
It was Kagami who answerd him.
Her voice had a quality that made out the nordpole to be a nice summer vacation spot.
“Adrien…I sincerely hope that I just misheard you or that you never heard about polyamorous relationships, since my mother taught me to respect all genders, all sexuality, and all romantic orientations that exist even if I don’t understand them. I would never say something so…so…”
“Heterosexual and white?”, you helped her.
She gave you a thankful nod.
“Precisely.”
“Adrien…”, nearly whimpered Marinette. “Do you have something against the LGBTQ+ community?”
You don’t know for sure if it was acting or true but the boy gasped and shook his head.
“No of course not I mean I never heard about that you could date multiple people at once, I always thought it was only wife and husband, wife and wife, or husband and husband. I didn’t mean to offend [L/N] and Luka. And you Marinette of course.”
Damn you were so close. Marinette and Kagami seemed to accept what he said.
“Does it mean you are bisexual, Marinette?”, Adrien asked her.
Marinette turned red like a tomato.
“Erm…I’m not sure.”
You decide to help her as fast as you could. So you took her hand and helped her up from her sit.
“Agreste, you should be more sensitive. This is Marinette’s first date of this kind and she doesn’t need to choose a label yet. Hell, she doesn’t need one period if she doesn’t feel like it. Asking people so random about their sexuality is not nice.”, you pointed out.
“I didn’t mean to, sorry.”, he whined like a kicked puppy.
If you didn’t know who he truly was you would fall for his little act, but you know, so you just scoffed and lead Marinette over to Luka. You took with your free hand his and lead them both on the ice.
Kagami watched you, Luka, and Marinette having fun on the ice. You three were cute together, she had to admit. You and Luka treated Marinette like a princess, twirling her around and dipping her, and you and Luka skate together like a well-oiled machine.
She saw how Luka picked you up and throw you in the air, where you made a backflip and landed before an applauding Marinette. You grinned at her flirtatious and the younger girl got all shy and giggled.
The fencer thought Marinette was a rival for Adrien’s affection, but seeing this…you three seemed to fit together.
But still, she had to wonder…
“Did you invite them because you were scared of being alone with me?”, she asked Adrien, with who she held hands and was skating.
“Of course not.”, tried Adrien to resure her. “It's just that I asked Marinette to help me.”
“Help you with what?”
“Uh... to perfect my figure skating skills.”
Unconvinced Kagami let out a little hum. Something was going on, she just felt it.
“What is your deal then with [Y/N]? You keep staring at her.”
Indeed she had caught him looking at you plenty of times. It wasn’t amorous ones, for which she was grateful. Still, what was going on?
“I just…want to talk to her.”
“About what?”
“About her blog.”
Kagami stopped them and stared at Adrien in disbelief.
“Adrien.”, she began. “Aren’t we currently on a date, even if it’s a three and two date? We should enjoy our time together we can talk later with the others.”
Adrien rubbed his neck and didn’t look her in the eyes.
Someone who couldn’t look you in the eyes, always had something to hide from you, had her mother once told her.
“It’s just…don’t you think she was a bit too mean to Chat Noir?”
What did she hear right now?!
“I hope you are joking Adrien.”, hissed Kagami and let go of his hand. “Since my mother drowned in the ocean that Syren created!”
With that, she skated away from him.
She needed time to think.
Currently, you watched how Luka dipped down Marinette and twirled her around, while you followed them laughing.
This date was so much fun!
Spending time with Luka and Marinette…you could get used to it.
It was just wonderful.
In your musings, you didn’t catch how the ice skating instructor Philippe tried to convince Marinette and Luka to join his skating school, but you saw an angry Kagami with crossed arms skating all alone and Agreste who leaned on the ice ring.
Seems like he did slip up and Kagami tried to calm down.
Well, you couldn’t let that happen.
She needed to keep holding on to these feelings or she would never see Adrien as who he was truly.
So you skated up to her with your arms behind your back.
You two skate in silence for two rounds. It was a comfortable silence. Kagami seemed to like or at least tolerate you. She didn’t seem the type to hide her opinion on people.
“Wanna tell me what Agreste said, that made you so angry?”, you offered. “Or we can continue to be still and skate.”
Kagami eyed you. You didn’t seem to ask because you were nosy…it seemed more like you wanted really to lead her an ear.
“Normally Adrien is the perfect gentlemen.”, she began. “But he said something so incredible unsensible that I’m questioning myself what I’m doing here with him.”
“What did he say?”
“He said you were too hard on Chat Noir on your blog and if I agreed. I do not. Not only because my mother died because of the cat’s unwillingness to be a decent hero, but because like you said Chat Noir isn’t a hero and needs to be stripped off his ring.”
Wow, you wonder how stupid Adrien could be. You thought he was the least smart since he know he couldn’t act as Adrien the way he did as Chat Noir because he would face consequences, but this changed your mind.
“Kagami can I ask you a question?”, you started.
She nodded, meaning you could continue.
“Why do you even like Agreste? I needed one look at him to see he his a limply whiny brat who has his own head so far up his ass that he doesn’t care for anybody but himself. So what draw you to him?”
Kagami blinked and frowned. That was a good question. They were good fencing partners, but besides that…?
What was there?
“I…don’t know.”, she admitted aloud. “We fence together, we both come from rich and strict families, I thought we had so much in common. But hearing him defending Chat Noir…what kind of person does that?”
“Someone who is just like him.”, you told her straight forward.
The younger turned her head to you and you could see the storm of emotion in her brown eyes. You patted her shoulder and gave her a little piece of paper with your phone number on it.
“Think about it, Kagami. And if you ever need someone to talk to, you can call me.”, you offered.
With a last pat, you skated towards Luka and Marinette.
You hoped this was enough to kill Kagami’s crush.
Now you needed to take care of Marinette’s one.
Marinette felt bad to decline the offer of the ice skate instructor, but she already had so much to do as Ladybug, and her workload wouldn’t be less in the future.
“Hey, guy’s what did I miss!”, you sang and made a pirouette before Luka and Marinette.
Luka laughed at your happy attitude, it always made him happy when you were happy, while Marinette asked: “Was that a Hamilton reference?”
You and your best friend stared at her with big eyes and you took Marinette’s free hand in yours.
“You know Hamilton?”, Luka and you asked exited.
“Erm, yes!”
“Oh my god, Mari!”, you squealed. “We need to totally watch it together and sing the songs! Me and Luka love Hamilton to death!”
“It’s our favorite musical.”, added Luka.
Marinette got a big smile on her face and squeezed your hands.
“It’s mine too. I wouldn’t mind watching it together.”
“Then it settles, that will be our seconde date!”, you decide and raised your fist in the air. “How about next Saturday?”
Before Luka and Marinette could agree, the ice instructor was before you and practically yelled: “Oh young lady, you have such passion and a beautiful voice and I saw the flawless pirouette you just did. Why don’t you join my ice skating school?”
You blinked and shrugged your shoulder.
“Erm, okay.”
It was like you gave the men back all his hope or something, this happy he was. He hold for you the inscription form and gave you a pen to write your name down. After that, he made a high jump and sing-songed: “Oh Mister Mayor, sir!”
And skated away.
You three looked confused at him.
“That guy is enthusiastic.”, you said finally.
Luka and Marinette could just nod.
Adrien was still leaning all alone on the ice ring and wondering what he was doing wrong.
Kagami ignored him now totally and actually joined you, Luka and Marinette skating.
At first, it seemed Marinette and Kagami didn’t know how to act around each other, but after a few minutes, Adrien saw how both girls laughed over a joke Luka made. You were just grinning and seemed to be really happy about something.
Currently, Marinette and Luka were skating in a pair, while you skated with Kagami.
He never saw Kagami smiling at him like she smiled at you. She seemed to dare you to do something, but you shook your head and seemed to argue back.
Then to his surprise, and also Marinette and Luka, Kagami raised you over her head, you who was a head taller than her, and then dipped you down which turned you into a tomato.
Luka and Marinette laughed and gave a round of applause.
Adrien felt for the first time in his life left out. Normal anybody wanted to be near him and he didn’t like that very much, but now he felt how much he missed that.
It was all your fault, he decide. You created the blog that destroyed his reputation as a hero and now you were taking away his friends and his date. Not that he really was interested in Kagami, his lady hold all his heart, but it's about the principle here.
He saw how you gave Kagami a little kiss on the cheek. She turned a lovely shade of red and touched the place like in a trance. You giggled cutely and Luka and Marinette were cooing at you two.
You said something and shoved Kagami to Luka and took Marinette’s hand. Luka and Kagami looked at each other and shrugged their shoulder. They didn’t hold hands but skated together like they were old friends, talking and laughing.
You twirled Marinette and then gave her cheek a little kiss too. The squawk she made could hear Adrien even from his place. Marinette blushed red like a rose and buried her face in your chest, while you hugged her laughing.
This was his chance!
With Marinette around you surely would hear him out! She probably would agree with him and anything would return to normal.
So he skates up to you guys.
Tumblr media

and here I am again, being a menace in your inbox. 1, 3, 4, 6, 11, 13 for run away (crying to your soul)
Hello again! Fun fact, I fully believe this fic to be my worst fic even though it’s my most popular 🤪
1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
I saw a TikTok about Steve getting Vecna’d and his song being Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears For Fears > I started thinking about Vecna songs > what the fuck would Robin’s be? > oh Robin would be such a good candidate to be Vecna’d actually > looking for Robin gets Vecna’d fics and not finding many > “fine I’ll do it myself” > spontaneously writing my first fanfic fucking ever and proceeding to dive face first into the worst case of brainrot I’ve ever had to date. Hallelujah
3: What’s your favorite line of narration?
Cheating again, this is technically in an unfinished chapter so sneak peek ig hehe
Nancy had revenge tattooed on her heart, black ink that sank deep into the muscle, turning it hard and blackened and cold. Her wrath was all encompassing. A bullet, chilled lead, sat heavy in her pocket, carved with one, singular name: Vecna. She would kill him for what he had done to her hometown, but especially for hurting Robin. And she would survive the encounter on ice cold rage and spite alone.
In conclusion: Nancy Wheeler shoot me please <33
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
Again dialogue is one of my weak points help omfg
“There is a suspicious number of love songs,” she teased.
Nancy hid her face in her hands.
“Robbie—“ she whined, cutting herself off. She seemed to be struggling for words.
“‘Crush On You’ by The Jets? ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ by ABBA? ‘True Blue’ by Madonna?” she listed, wiggling her eyebrows. Nancy dissolved into a flustered mess.
“It really seems like you’re trying to say something, princess.”
She was so certain of it, Robin realized. Their shared moments over the past few days played over and over in her mind, and she came to a pair of conclusions.
She liked Nancy Wheeler. And Nancy Wheeler liked her back.
“Robbie, I’m going to kill you,” Nancy groaned, shoving the other girl away.
Robin smirked, flopping back on the bed.
“I was hoping for another k word,” she teased.
I really like writing these bitches just being soft for each other. Silly gay people. They fill me with cuteness aggression and I’m shaking them violently
6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?
Well for one, this is legitimately the first fic I’ve ever written. I spontaneously hopped on the fic writing train late late late July this year with this fic, and it’s still ongoing. I think it’s messy and the pacing is weird and it’s unbeta’d but it’s kind of charming like that I guess, and I like to think you can kind of see how I fell into the characters and developed my writing style as the story goes on? Idk, it has the same energy as ugly-cute animals, like pugs.
11: What do you like most about this fic?
Stop making me be nice to this flaming piece of garbage 🔫
But in all seriousness, like I said, I think you can track my development as a fic writer over the past several months, and I really enjoy the dynamic between Robin and Nancy through this whole thing. I also think my music choices are very Big Brain and Correct.
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
I have an unofficial fic playlist that I used just for writing vibes, as well as the mixtape Nancy made for Robin in one of the later chapters! Basically a lot of 80’s music and Maya Hawke with a couple other songs sprinkled in because they were favorites at the time or just the vibes were fitting. Specific shoutout to “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat as Robin’s Vecna song, and “Seventeen” by Janis Ian being runner up. I did a bit of research in queer music artists of the 80’s because it was important to me that, whether or not she knew it, Robin’s Vecna song was by a queer person/band! Also special shoutouts to this playlist and this playlist, which are just favorite songs and work really well for me to write to. (I have the best music taste, actually, btw, and I don’t have an ego about it—)

Christmas in July Day 14
Here’s a new style I haven’t really written much in before for chapter 14! Please enjoy today’s feature of It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
AO3 link here!
Tumblr media
December 2
To: Scott Tracy
Hey, this is John. It’s almost Christmas in a month. Virgil and Alan have found the stash of Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. It’s an absolute shitshow of glittery ornaments and candy canes here.
Man, I don’t think I’ve sent a handwritten letter since I was a kid. Sorry for not writing before now. My final studying is going fine, and I toured Stanford and Harvard for a visit day. That’s all I’ve got, I guess. Oh and Gordon signed me up for helping at the elementary Christmas concert because apparently, I don’t have enough Christmas spirit. Whatever that means. Ho ho ho.
From: John
  December 4
To: Scott Tracy
Hi Scooter!! Dad said to write you because you might be lonely. I think he thinks I’m lonely. I’m not though, I’ve got lots of friends in swimming! This is my first Christmas that you won’t help put up lights. Don’t tell Dad but he might break his back. Virge will help. We baked a few cookies but it’s not cookie day and they’re yummy! I should send you one from the recipe I came up with sometime. I’ve heard they’re very good form everybody!
Which base are you at? Johnny said he was going to send this letter for me with his. I don’t know what else to talk about over letter! That one clothes store to us hung up all these pretty candy canes in the window and Alan made us copy it here. I love you!
From: Gordon
  December 9
To: Scott Tracy
John said that you are busy and don’t have lots of time. That’s okay cause I love you anyways! When you get home, we can play space explorer. John’s not as fun as you with it. It’s okay you can’t come home for Christmas. I’ll save you cookies and presents and a stocking in my room.
From: Alan (written by Virgil)

Middle school finals suck. Will write more later!
From: Virgil
  December 12
To: Scott Tracy
I hope your first assignment is going well. I put some pictures of the decorated house and Virgil’s handiwork inside. I took Alan to town, and he wanted to stop at an antique store and found an old digital camera to use. Dad didn’t get much say when it came to the lights with Virgil old enough to argue for his artistic visions.
Also, Gordon mentioned he sent you a cookie recipe? Don’t try it. Dear God don’t try it.
From: John
  December 17
To: Scott Tracy
They’re finally done! John said you also had Mrs. Rightinger for English and I feel your pain big brother. Those exams sucked! Anyways, John’s lamenting that you won’t be here for Christmas even if he won’t say it. All of the extended family is coming over to celebrate and he and Dad went at it about him staying in his room the whole time. You would always hide him away with excuses. Maybe I can convince Gordon to fake having one of his migraines and say he needs John to take care of him in the peace and quiet? But then again, that would mean leaving a scheming, perfectly healthy Gordon alone with John…
If you don’t hear back from me World War IV started and it was all Gordon’s fault! Love you bro.
From: Virgil
  December 17
To: Scott Tracy
I love you and I miss you and John took me to the store to buy special Christmas stickers on my card! I put all your favorites on here but kept the gingerbread ones for John cause Gordon said that would be funny.
From: Alan (written by Virgil)
P.S.: I saw Alan and Gordon sticking the gingerbread stickers all over John’s door and he was not amused. It waaaaasss pretty hilarious though! Typical Tracy Christmas. -Virgil

The mailman already took the letter from yesterday but I forgot to say my joke! Why does Santa go through the chimney?
Because it soots him!
From: Alan (written by a very tired Virgil at 7 AM “so the mailman doesn’t steal it early again”)
  December 21
To: Scott Tracy
Hello my dear Scotty. I have not been sent to my room for time out and I am not secret writing this to you in hopes that next time you call you can get me out of trouble. That is not what happened despite what Dad says! You wanna hear a secret? John said that Virgil said I should fake a migraine so he can get out of talking to people. I wasn’t gonna say yes because Adriana and Henry are coming over with Aunt Sarah but then! John said he would give me half his chocolate from his stocking Christmas morning so I said yes. I kinda owe him too for making him help at the Christmas concert but it was sooo fun! We sang The Grinch song, and Here Comes Santa, and Jingle Bells and the My Two Front Teeth! Johnny controlled the lights so he got to be away from people so I don’t know why he’s that upset.
Don’t tell Dad that either. Love you!
From: Gordon
  December 25
To: Scott Tracy
Guess who didn’t get caught yesterday for Christmas Eve dinner. I miss having you have my back though- Gordon is pricey. Half my chocolates! You would have helped me for free, I know. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and they let you have some time off to come home soon. Alan has been guarding your presents from the other cousins like a Rottweiler. We all love you.

hello!! i saw that u did ur very first matchup n it was so sweet, may i request one too for jujutsu kaisen?
pronouns, age, preference, physical description: they/she, 18, male preference, i have an athletic build (used to compete in martial arts tournaments) that's on the meatier side bc i'm a big eater, i have short hair and dress masculine for the most part.
personality: i’m assertive and love taking the lead in just about anything! i enjoy teaching people and used to be an assistant teacher for a summer pre-school and was an assistant teacher in a taekwondo class for around two years!! i’m not quiet but it takes time for me to share personal stuff, i love conversing tho, and i love making decisions on the spot. i’m dead serious about building a career (and tend to overwork) and too ambitious for my own good which gives off the impression that i'm cold but i'm actually pretty clingy and love receiving cuddles and kisses. i often show love through gift-giving and physical touch!! but i value good conversations a lot too!!
interests: business and law (am a business major in uni n wanna be a lawyer someday hshsh), literature (especially: sci-fi, classics, gothic horror, and magical realism.), animal documentaries (i love animals i have three cats!!), colognes.
hobbies: writing, reading, cooking, and organizing stuff hshsh.
ty so much for doing matchups, pls take ur time!!
Aww, thank you anon! And yes, ofc!! These are fun >:3
Also, real quick, we are so similar wtf? Hello, fellow martial artist and law/literature/animal enjoyer ❤️❤️ (me and my boyfriend have three weiner dogs)
Anyways, I match you with...! *drum roll*
Tumblr media
❥Nanami Kento!
YOU TWO ARE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE
He's also an overworker, so he'll tend to realize if you get too overwhelmed or stressed with something
Will always help you before he helps himself tbh
Will interchangably use she and they to refer to you, he knows people with she/they or he/they don't have their 'they/them' option used a lot (I might be projecting here lol) so he'll make an effort to use it to make you feel seen and heard
He likes that you're so serious about a career, especially in the field of business
When you two first met, he was one of many who thought you were cold, which ironically drew him to you
He doesn't need another Gojo in his life
It'd be such a slow burn, too, you both slowly uncovering things about the other and falling in love
I feel like Nanami is pretty indifferent to physical touch at first, but over time he comes to feel like he needs it. He also will show his love through gift giving and also words of affirmation
He's really really good with words, so conversations would be satisfying with him
I think Nanami would be indifferent to animals, really. It's not that he doesn't care about them, he'd gladly help an animal in need. He just doesn't want animals that aren't pets in his house (i.e. raccoons, possums, wild mice, etc.)
If you want a cat or a dog or ferret or whatever, then that's fine. You wanna rescue and foster animals? Absolutely, go for it
I actually headcanon that Nanami's favorite pet is a ferret, just cause I said so (he also seems like the type of man to like ferrets idk)
Nanami is also an avid book reader, so he'll likely recommend you some books, and some evenings he'd be content with some of your cooking (or his, or just takeout would be fine), a glass of wine for each of you, and both of you quietly reading your respective books
If a movie came out about a book you both read, he doesn't care if it's shit, he'll buy tickets for the two of you as a date night
He also loves organization, like you! He likes color coding stuff, or organizing his outfits for the week every Saturday night
All of his papers are in neat piles, his kitchen cabinets are all neatly put away, his spices are even easy to reach/put back in their spots, and he has a system and specific day for cleaning (sunday)
Making choices on the spot is his specialty, and he greatly appreciates that you do the same. It saves a lot of time, unlike "indecisive Gojo" as he lovingly says
He wants to read anything you write. Unless it's personal stuff you haven't told him yet, or if you don't feel like it's good enough to show him, he'll simply respect your boundaries and give you a soft forehead kiss
Mans goes crazy giving you forehead kisses btw, he loves it
Since he also knows martial arts, he'd want to spar with you a bit, just as some sort of bonding experience/workout
Obviously he'd go easy on you, you're his love. But if Gojo found you two and interrupted, he's going to beat the shit out of that annoying albino (I promise I don't abuse Gojo, I say as every time I mention him in another character's thing, I'm always writing him being ignored or beaten)
All in all, you two are the adorable power couple that comes to deeply understand each other with time, that everybody wants to be <3

Fool in Utopia - Blacklight
Good morning! This week's song is called 'Blacklight' from the US artist 'Fool in Utopia' (because of time constraints, the video will be/was published on a different day than this post)
Hello! It has been an amazing, a bit stressing but wonderful week for me, and I hope the same applies for you! My birthday was on Thursday, everyone at worked wished me a happy birthday, as well as my friends and family, and to be honest, I love it. On Sunday, my girlfriend and my friends threw a surprise party for me and I cried internally with joy. It was brutal, they got me a Minecraft cake and Floppa cupcakes, some hot snacks, and LASAGNA. You can see more on my instagram profile.
Also, work has been hard, ngl, I started production this week and it's... a lot; but I've managed, we've all managed. And Kasia, my support coach has been amazing. More so because she's there when I panic.
However, back to what we're here for, the music. This week's song is such a freaking masterpiece. So, what about the artist?
About the artist
'Fool in Utopia' is the pseudonym of Texas (USA) based artist 'Marc Rodriguez' (though he's originally from New Jersey). He started playing cello back when he was in fifth grade, then became drummer for 'The Frites'.
However they eventually started college (Marc is currently studying vision science at UIW), got separate ways, and that's when he really discovered his path with 'Fool in Utopia', singing his poems over his ukelele playing.
He cited twenty øne piløts as his biggest inspo (would you look at that, my favorite band too.)
Because of this desire to move further with the project Marc learnt how to produce his own music. Marc started publishing in 2018, with the release of his debut EP 'Eu'
After that, the release of his self titled debut album came, this in March 2019, and 'Blacklight' was there again. This album was produced in his college dorm room, by himself.
Then came all the other releases up to today, including 4 singles (lemon, isla blue, broken hearted boys and keep my head straight) which would later be featured in the June 2022's album 'Arcadia' (which you should also listen too!)
Marc has said the following about his 'Fool in Utopia' project:
"In this perfect place, in this utopia, we grow and we learn; and we try to understand the world around us; a place with ideas, with lessons, with the truth. The truth behind my name is that I feel as if this path, this lifestyle, isn't the one that is as perfect as it could be."
"This idea of 'Fool in Utopia' expresses how we each have a say in how our future turns out, how we are the fools that turn around to look at what this utopia is supporting and what this utopia wants us to be. We don't have to remain confined in this everlasting cycle of concrete floors and contained greenery."
Marc is on social media, like instagram, twitter, and facebook, and of course soundcloud, spotify and youtube. He also has a website for the project (and you should definitely check it out.)
About the song
'Blacklight has appeared on 2 different releases:
In his first EP, 'Eu', as the first of three tracks.
In his debut album, also named 'Fool in Utopia'; this time as the second track.
If I remember correctly, I found the song thanks to an Instagram ad (and trust me when I say I have discovered amazing music like that, from Dansu to Castlecomer, a lot of amazing stuff.)
It was an instant match. The vocals, the uke, the latinamerican percussions, EVERYTHING. I burnt the song. I played it over and over and then the whole album and then I followed Marc and- you get it.
Meaning
'Blacklight (basically) talks about a breakup (or death of a girlfriend) in a very poetic way. Explaining how people act like they don't care about what others feel, and how they make others feel. Deep lyrics, to be honest. Like them. Feel them.
