it is time for me to remind ppl yet again that looking at top/bottom culture (which is mostly adjacent to kink culture) and deciding that everyone participating in it is trying to emulate straight sex/gender roles is heteronormative as fuck & ignorant to how kink culture generally Is and you should Not Do That, Actually

Playing tricks with the trickster
Summary: Failed escape attempt from yandere Childe. He lets you play your cards, even playing along, just for his own amusement.
Notes: My first genshin piece yay... I had a sweet and terrible dream of me running from Childe in the woods. Also some inspiration was drawn from @cinnamonest‘s this post, one big virtual hug to her! I hope I did Childe justice, what can I say I love manipulative smiling boys. It has become a pattern as I dash from one fandom to another. This is had turned out to be longer then I expected...Ginger boy demands my time and energy too much omg. Mind the warnings, although there is nothing extreme in this.
Fun fact, I was looping to Nintendo game by Alessia Cara when writing this down. I believe it fits the theme of this fic quite well.
Tagging: @akutaguagua a great friend who patiently beta-read this mess of a horror dream and gave me lots of kind praises! 
(Offical art belongs to miHoYo! This is a cover page of this video, if there is any issues, contact me and I will remove it at once)
Tumblr media
Warnings: Implied past abduction,dub-con touching, mild degradation, drugging(not on reader), implied non-con/dub-con at the end, this is not healthy love and I do not condone this irl.
It has been nearly a month since the youngest Fatui Harbinger had “taken you in”. After a few tries, you were too horrified by the punishments to continuously fight him. You learned on the first day that Childe’s smiling, the friendly mask would come off towards you. Your behaviour would decide if that is a curse or a “blessing”.
So you had quieted down, struggling to restrain yourself from yelling or screaming, carefully not to provoke his anger. Despite being compliant to his orders, you never truly showed him any affection either. Sure, you would sit on his lap if he asked, but you never initiated anything intimate with him. No matter how much Tartaglia spoiled you with clothes, books, jewelry or other luxuries, he is still the one who holds the commanding end of your shackles. It’s the best not to get used to all of that when your sight is set on the door.
Although he has taken your freedom away, you are not kept in a windowless room. On the contrary, you have too many outings now. Wherever he goes, you have to be present in a 2m radius, including meetings. Being a Harbinger is no easy job, so he prefers not having to worry about your safetly during buisness hours. The best way to do that is never let you out of his sight.
“Love, no one should witness our little problems. Well, no one alive that is.” Of course you wouldn’t want to put innocent people's lives at stake. You never dared to act out when you two are in public, and no one would bat an eye if a Fatui had taken a lover. 
You had taken an emotionless approach towards him. If Childe wants a kiss on the cheek, you’ll give him a quick light peck. If he wants breakfast, you’ll go make some pancakes with the topping he likes. Luckily, Childe had not done anything too extreme yet. If cuddling to sleep does not count as extreme that is. The only time you slipped up is when he suddenly hugs you from behind when you’re cooking.  
You thought maybe, just maybe, by being as boring and dull as you could, this bastard might just get tired of you and let you go. Childe only loves the fun of it right? Or maybe it could lower his guard.
Oh, how naive you are. You should have known better than to underestimate a Fatui harbinger. See, this is exactly why he needs to keep you around. Yes, unfortunately for you, Childe loves you, so very much. Speaking to him with a monotone voice isn’t going to alter that fact.
You have been devoid of emotions as of late. While Childe does appreciate fewer screams for the sake of his eardrums, this schemer can sense you are up to something. Perhaps this is the peace before your “storm”(he thought of it more like a drizzle)
You want to play a game? Okay, why not? Childe cannot wait to see what tricks you got on those sleeves. Are you ever getting away? Does an amateur ever win when they play a game with a professional trickster? Never.
Still, nothing bites like a cornered rat. You are no airhead, and he is fully aware of that. Just not as cunning and observent as him, that’s all.
The way you just kept your emotions sealed up is impressive, even to someone like him. Even when he got hansy, you did not flinch and just stared at the corner. Childe can only catch faint glimpses of anger when you thought he wasn’t looking.
Hm, when are you pulling your trigger? Tonight, or tomorrow night? Not that Childe is impatient, anything from you is worth waiting. But he would need to dismiss his patrolling underlings in the nearby woods beforehand. No extras would be allowed to disturb this game.
There is no chance during the day, a somewhat mutual understanding for you two. Night time in comparison, is a different story. 
Anyone’s sleeping hours is their most vulnerable time of the day, Childe is no exception. You do not plan to harm him, not that you don’t want to. But you are willing to swallow the pent up frustration towards him if you would never see his face again after this. Maybe beating up some slimes would help with the release?
You somehow managed to slip a mixture of herbs into his tea. Since he would buy cooking ingredients for you from time to time, you had requested a bunch of herbs along with the ingredients of a sleep inducing medicine you remembered. Although Childe does all he can to keep you near him, there are inevitable hours that he needs to be somewhere without you. He cannot jeopardize your safety with troublesome monsters. On a side note, he loves showing you off to anyone, his colleagues, acquaintances, business partners, anyone he does not deem a threat.
Enough time for you to make those herbs into powder and cover it up with a few spoons of milk. Tea with milk has become quite popular in Liyue as of late. Childe has grown to love them, so you have learned how to mix it up. He always let you handle his food and drinks, saying that he “trusts you”. What you do not know is this is one of the openings he exposed on purpose. It’s not like you can aquire anything deadly under his suffocating supervision.
Your plan will work, or so you think. Childe will not wake up when you wiggle out of his grasp, because dreamland will keep him occupied. All you need is a glider and a usable sword from Liyue and you’ll get your life back. Bottling up extreme emotions has certainly taken a toll on your mind, but it will be worth it if that is the prerequisite of being free.
Something about this being so easy sits ill with you. Have you really been with the youngest Fatui Harbinger this whole time? But that was brushed off your shoulders by the sheer excitement of regaining your long lost freedom. You know Liyue is in walking distance, all you need to do is cross these woods and-
The moment you dive into the forest, you think you heard an amused chuckle. 
That smooth voice terrifies you to no end, the same voice you took orders from for the past month.
Oh, how Childe loves seeing you happy. It’s priceless, both literally and figuratively. No matter how many things he buys you, you had not shown him even one small smile. Enjoy your sweet freedom, because it ain’t going to last. You certainly will know your place after this right? If not you are just dumber then he give you credit for.
That glow of relief in your eyes is worth every last bit of this intense dizzying feeling to Childe. To make sure your plan go through, he had drunk the tea without hesitation, quick enough to catch the momentarily excitement you expressed. He knows the game is on, therefore he had given the night patrol guards the entire evening off. Forcing himself to stay concious by digging his nails into his palms, Childe followed you into the woods.
Your potion is quite strong. Excellent, you’ll have to give him the recipe for informational purposes later. Especially how you managed to achieve such effects with a few herbs you had. He never took you to be anything less than a smart girl, but this has exceeded his expectations. Where’s the fun in a game without challenges?
How you storm through the forest wearing that cute terrified expression looks so endearing, it’s surely not his fault if he wants to enjoy this sight to be longer right.
So, each time you feel the slightest at ease due to whatever reason, expect Childe to make some sound to send you running like your life depends on it again. The sadistic man is hunting you down playfully, like a cat chasing a stray mouse to the inevitable corner.
You know he is toying with you. There is nothing you can do to make him shut up though.
“Love, you had scratched your leg. Must hurts by the looks of it.”
“Liyue is that way, you know.”
“Are you tired? If you want to jog in the middle of the night, you should have called me to come along!”
How can he say those things nonchalantly while you are trying to escape from him?  Here he is, daunting you with that signature smile he wears so very often. That is when reality slaps you right in the face. No matter how hard you plan, no matter how fast you run, there is no getting rid of him.
When your stamina runs out, a simple pull and push on your left wrist is enough to let you fall onto the ground panting. Even now, you still refuse to beg for mercy. You would take the cold grounds to the warmth of Childe’s embrace anyday. 
“Aw, burnt out already? Pathetic. Looks like we need to work on your stamina more. But this is not the place for exercise.”
“Look at me.” His slender but forceful fingers tilt your head up, making you look into those ocean blue orbs. There is anger present in his eyes, but those emotions are more a mixture of delight and that. His smile had also been replaced by a mocking smirk. “You, trying to leave me? Your sense of humor is...well, let’s just call it unique. Lucky for you, you amused me nonetheless.”
“I know what you’re thinking. How I’m a selfish jerk and you hate me. Why be so ungrateful? You get to live in luxury thanks to me, you know. I am selfish, yes, but look how stupid you are. I know you added something extra in my evening tea, my beloved.”
“Come now, we are going to do some exercises suited for a night like this once we’re back home. It is our one month milestone, after all. You had already given me your gift, it is only fair for you that I do the same.”
Childe is not making a sarcastic remark. The thrill of that chase was the best fun he had in months. And you are going to love his gift too, maybe not right away, but surely sometimes after. 
You have to mentally prepare yourself for the worst as he dragged you back to the prison, hopefully you’ll still be able to walk properly after whatever Childe got in store.

@eliteimperialism​​​​
My opinion on;
character in general: ...Okay, I’m just going to be completely honest here - when I first followed them, I was honestly under the belief that he was a canon character because every detail of the blog just felt so well thought out and carefully crafted - like the aesthetic, the icons - that’s not even getting into the character himself and how much detail and depth went into each of their headcanons, their backstory for him and their RP responses! From the beginning, my first impression was that this was just someone who put a lot of dedication and care into shaping this character, into writing him and from the very start, he always felt really authentic and genuine to me - it was just amazing to me, how much must have went into this whole blog and into constructing this character.
how they play them: With my slightly embarrassing admission aside, I can honestly say that what caused that mix up on my part was just seeing how much of a strong sense of personality that Shigemasa radiated - he has a snarky side to him, he has a flustered side to him, he has a brutally honest side to him - while of course it is always a bonus when the mun writes body language to better convey the tone of what their muse is saying or feeling, I feel like with him, I don’t even need that context because he just feels like so many people I know in real life - he says the sort of things that I could see myself saying, or feelings that I have felt before.  He just feels like someone very earnest and someone I could easily mix up with an IRL friend or even just someone I know.  When someone is able to make you feel that through their portrayal - to almost make you feel as though the muse could actually be a real
the mun: They’ve always been someone I’ve been stupidly shy to approach and talk to more, but I do have all of the admiration and respect for them for all of the aforementioned reasons and that post only solidified it.  They’re someone who’s really attentive to other blogs, not just their own and they’re someone with a lot of great insights and details - you can tell that they actually pay attention to their dash and observe other blogs and how they written/how the mun behaves and I think that’s a great sign of genuine attentiveness and interest! Honestly, I just think that they’re an amazing writer and one hell of a person - I had always felt before that they were a positive presence on the dash but I admire any mun who can give positivity to others and uplift them as well - I’m sure it makes a lot of people very happy to hear it/read it.
Do i;
follow them: Yep!
rp with them: I don’t think we have anything currently.
want to rp with them: Hell yes, I do!
ship their character with mine: They mentioned that Shigemasa and Ryuji would make good friends and I honestly agree with that! I feel like Shigemasa wouldn’t judge Ryuji by his reputation or treat him any worse because of it.  I think they could both be loyal friends to each other.
What is my;
overall opinion: Umm, I just can’t say enough great things about them?? I would highly highly recommend checking them out and following them - they’re someone who absolutely gives it their all and does one hell of a job with their blog.  Honestly just seeing their blog on the dash is such a delight and they’re a delight as a person too!

YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes hello, hi!! YOU!! I love you. I love how much passion you put into Molly. I don't even know the character but you make her one of my favorite characters on the dash. ♥ You seem really cool, too, and like you'd be fun to hang out with. Basically, I'm glad to have you on my dash, you're a delight. c:
Tumblr media
Good gosh my dear! You are such a never ending stream of positivity and sweetness, aren’t you!
You are always such a treat on the dash both IC with Nathan, your meta posts on him and also just the genuine kindness you spread to everyone. It’s so rare to meet someone so invested with everyone so openly like you are! It’s genuinely endearing.
It makes me so honored to hear how much you care about Molly considering iirc you don’t even know anything about the source material! It makes me beam very happily!
And I’m glad you see me in such a light, haha! I have to warn you I’m not as glamorous and cool irl like I am on my blog pfff. Nah, but, for real, thank you, dear!! You are just always such a treat and I appreciate it all immensely!

                                        NEW YEARS APPRECIATION.
it isn’t unknown that 2019 was a difficult year for me, be it irl, or especially, in fandom. there were many hardships brought to light and thanks to the people on this list, be it support or be it genuine friendship, i’ve managed to come out on top. i truly appreciate you all, and i wish only the best for you in the years to come. remember to take time for yourselves, do something you enjoy, and treat yourselves often. you deserve the best.
DEAR FRIENDS:
@quecksilvereyes.
‘friends’ isn’t exactly the most applicable word here, is it. i’d like to put a ‘best’ before it, really, and use other more suitable titles altogether. but this isn’t a post to confess undying love or anything. i’ll save that for later. i’d like to thank you for sticking by me through the events of the past year and for making my 2019 something full of love despite the hardships. it was a truly difficult year for me, and you were there through all of it. just the thought that we were able to help each other and come out stronger for it warms me. you’re truly a skilled person, from crafting physically to with words, and everything you create is a delight. i hope 2020 is another good year for us, my love, and that we can continue to grow together.
@taintedcalamity
moh! dearest moh, you’re such a guiding light in this fandom. i’ve awed at your worldbuilding and character correction, and i’ve been warmed by how passionate and compassionate you get about matters that mean so much to you. without you and your support, i doubt i’d still be around here creating content. you’re a pleasure to have on my dash, and moreso to call a friend. thank you for all you do, i hope 2020 is a year where you gain the recognition for your creativity you deserve.
@danvers-carols
charl! i’d like to start off by saying i’m so proud of you. i’m proud of the content you create, you’re so dedicated! but more than anything, i’m proud that you took the time you needed away from tumblr and did what you needed. you’re such a strong person, and so creative too! i can only say things i’ve said before, as they remain as true as you do. thank you for your rationality, your patience, and how you took the time to listen and understand me. you’re a dear friend.
FURTHER UP  &  FURTHER IN:
hello all! i’m so happy you joined the server, and just knowing you are there makes me happy. you’re all such loving, creative people, and i am happy to know each and every one of you. in 2020, i hope we’re able to have activity, events, and general good times filled with fun and support. thank you for all you do. <3   |||  @lighofthewest @historyofnarnia @professorkirke @revirag @queerpevensies @myaekingheart @miraestrellxs @athomeinnarnia @taintedcalamity @flexhealer @supposewehaveonlydreamed .
BELOVED MUTUALS:
and here, finally, is the obligatory list of mutuals i don’t see myself unfollowing. you may have been mentioned above-- consider this a double down of my love! thank you for all you do, be it reblog, create, or chat! i find you all wonderful, and i’m glad we’re in the same space!  |||  @starkhavn @artemis-devotee @hotlinemojave @lighofthewest @abbotts @literaetures @bilbos @luxaofhesperides @taintedcalamity @cptn-brie @thequills @flexhealer @professorkirke @danvers-carols @ghcstxbcy @narniadreams @aravvis @telmarines @dirtycomputermp3 @quecksilvereyes @merlinn @alwaysinnarnia @jillpcle

A “Quick” History
I’m gonna put a “keep reading” thing so I don’t clog anyone’s dash or anything, depending on how long this gets. This is basically just a quick background info on my history regarding my gender and related topics.
I’ve never really liked being feminine. Hated dresses, hated makeup, hated showing any amount of my skin, overall just... the entire idea was not my thing. The most feminine thing about me for a long time was my long hair - before I cut it, it had grown down to being an inch or two past my hips. I felt kind of... pressured, to be more feminine at times. I can only recall 2 times I wore a dress - and both times were for other people, and not me, and both times I was intensely uncomfortable and wanted to get out of it immediately. Not that everything about me is intensely anti-feminine - more recently, sometime during the time I was genderfluid (I’ll get to that in a bit), I got black lipstick. I wanted it for the aesthetic - and I only wore it once, and, again, for another person. It’s just sitting around my desk area now, waiting to be used, but never will again as far as I’m concerned. I’ve always been more of a tomboy.
When I was younger, I used to do these kind of IRL roleplay things with one of my best friends at the time. It was edgy shit, where we’d both pretend to be creepy pasta characters and the like and had this whole storyline going on and all sorts of made up drama with the characters. An... overwhelming majority of the characters I chose to act out and represent at the time were all males. I’ve always loved writing males and acting like a male - females were just... hard, for some reason. Always have been, really, even though I am biologically female. One of my favorites to do was the Jeff the Killer, obviously. He was my default, and it just felt natural, almost. It was more fun to do male characters. Hell, my first OC I ever made was a male. It makes a lot more sense now to me, looking back on it. In some cases, in more recent years, I’ve felt like I needed to go with making the character female. And I do have a lot of female OCs, don’t get me wrong. Anyway, with characters such as Coral (one of my sonas; used her often in an IRL roleplay after the former friend moved away and I moved on with another best friend) I felt like I needed to make her female, to... match my friend’s sona, Frost. I wish I hadn’t, now, but whatever. The past is in the past.
Speaking of the past, I’m a believer of past lives. And 99.9% of them are all male. Out of all of my past lives, I can only recall 2 humanoid (saying this because one was an anthro rat) lives that had female genders, and one more that was female though I don’t count because it was the life of a bengal tiger and bengal tigers don’t exactly go by pronouns so there wasn’t a whole lot of gender identity going on there in the first place. It feels natural to have male past lives, and a little... off, to have female ones. Every time I trigger a memory of a male past life, think about it, or talk about it, I used to only subconsciously refer to myself as male - though it felt great. It felt normal. My dumb fucking ass didn’t get a clue that this meant anything about my current gender identity until recently.
Sometime during my phase where I played Transformice more often, I made a separate account where I listed my gender as “male”, as an... experiment, of sorts. Wanted to see what it was like when other people thought I was a guy. I only really used the account for a single day, the day I made it, though that was enough time for me to meet people and interact. I absolutely loved it, though it didn’t occur to me afterwards for a long, long time to even think about what that meant. An embarrassing amount of time, honestly. I found my gender identity and it smacked me in the face and my response had been just “Cool, I’mma go back to being called she/her now”. Big dumbass energy, right here
Sometime in the summer/no later than early autumn of 2019 (my sense of time is... not the best, honestly) I considered becoming genderfluid. After all, I’d started to realize maybe it wasn’t so bad to go by male pronouns. Considered it a test run, of sorts. It was still primarily she/her, but online I gave people the option to call me he/him. Not many people did, but I liked the idea. It made the whole ‘internal male pronouns and identity during past lives shit’ make more sense to me at the time. In early December of 2019, I had the realization. The realization that I actually preferred male pronouns, and the idea of being male was... a lot better, than being female, or even a mix of both. It felt like me. Like it fit. My dumb ass finally figured it out, and luckily the genderfluid thing didn’t drag on for years. Since the switch to male pronouns its still a rare occurrence anybody’s actually used my new pronouns and I’ve heard it (I’ve come out to everyone I know online, though only friends in real life), though one time I was called ‘he’ irl in front of me and it made me feel great. Like a small “yeah... yeah, that’s me.” Not everyone has been completely accepting (like the person I consider my best friend - she’d responded kind of... oddly, when I came out, and said she’d been confused, and openly said that biological sex and gender are the same thing today) but I don’t really care all that much. They’ll learn to accept it if they want to keep me as a friend - or at least tolerate it. If they can’t, then I can’t go through the trouble of keeping them as a friend. One of my friends has been so supportive and it’s been delightful.
Backtracking a little, I realize I forgot to mention the fact that I hate my body. It’s not mine - or at least, it’s not one I want. Every time I think about my past lives I want to go back and have that body again. I want to be a skeleton monster again. I want to be a dragon again. I don’t want to be a weak, pathetic, human female who’s body won’t even gain weight no matter how much I eat or try, and whose throat is actively trying to tear holes in itself. And I’ve never been satisfied with the fact that its female. On a related note, I have the fear of penetration - it’s just... wrong, for anything to go inside of me down there. It should be the opposite. I miss having a cock - I wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore. Wouldn’t have to worry about something going inside of me, or having to be expected to push a fucking disgusting baby out of me. It’s frustrating.
I also feel like I realized I was transgender too late to be valid. I’ve seen so many stories (like Sam Collins) where they realized when they were tiny kids, and... what if that’s what it should be like? What if I’m wrong? What if you’re supposed to know before you’re even a teenager? So many people have realized before then, though some have realized later, and some say you can realize at any age. I just... don’t know. Anyway, that’s about it, I think - if I forgot anything, I’ll make another thing to tack onto this. Feel free to ask me questions.

Dear Author Letter!
Dear Author,
Happy (upcoming) holidays, and thank you for writing for me as a part of this exchange! I hope that one or several of the things I’ve written down here sparks some ideas that we’ll both enjoy! As in my request through the AO3 exchange, I’m putting some general likes and dislikes, followed by some prompts for each of the requested ships I put down. Feel free to run with anything that calls to you - I can only hope that writing this will be as fun for you as I know that reading it will be for me!
Likes: 
- Rom-com and meet-cute tropes (fake relationships, accidental marriage, sex before feelings) - Magic and magical realism (hockey magic such as curses, superstitions, literal witches in the NHL, actual hockey gods are all FANTASTIC, though I love me a good magic AU where they don’t play hockey as well!) - Soulmate AUs/tropes of pretty much every variety (can you tell I’m a sap yet?) - Mutual pining - Banter between main characters, humor, puns - Alternate Universe fic in general (including but not limited to historical settings, fantasy/mythology, not-a-hockey-player!AUs, omegaverse) - Happy endings!  - Anything wintery/holiday/Christmas related. Dear Author, I’ll say it a billion times: the holiday season is my absolute favorite time of year, so anything you want to work into your story in terms of it being set around the holidays, holiday themes and tropes like getting snowed in, huddling for warmth, sledding, hot chocolate, gift exchanges - I love it all.  (The only thing I'm not as crazy about is bringing home someone to meet the family around the holidays in fake relationship stories.) - Smut (as long as it’s consensual and none of the below - but seriously, no pressure if that’s not the kind of thing you’re comfortable writing!)
Dislikes:
- Character death, violence/gore, body horror, self harm - Rape/Noncon/Dubcon - Mpreg - Underage - Infidelity, jealousy, break-up fic, angst without a happy ending - BDSM and D/s themes - Poly relationships/threesomes - A heavy focus on homophobia or internalized homophobia - High school AUs, Coffeeshop AUs that have no plot direction  - Rule 63/cisswaps - Established relationships - Demonizing IRL wags/spouses/former girlfriends etc.(although I’d really prefer them not present/included very little) - kidfic
My dislikes are pretty clear-cut in that I don't enjoy unresolved angst, scary/dark/horror themes, violence and gore for the sake of gore, and darker fic in general.  Just a small note on the “established relationship” dislike: a lot of the enjoyment I get out of fic is seeing my faves figure out their shit and get together (finally!) or fall in love, so established relationships at the start of the story just don’t do it for me. Also, as much as I like fluff and fun AUs, high school AU and coffeeshop AU have become too saturated to me and I'm not as interested in those tropes!
TL;DR: I'm here for all manner of fun stuff with the above pairings, and as a romantic-at-heart, Christmas-loving hockey fan, any combination of the above likes would be very enjoyable to me!
PROMPTS!
Jamie Benn/Tyler Seguin
- Anything around the resolved contract signing situation finally playing out - maybe Jamie finally making a move now that it’s clear Tyler is staying in Dallas? If set around Christmas, maybe with a gift exchange involved? - Christmas/holiday fic with these two would be my kryptonite! Really, almost any fun wintery/holiday tropes are delightful, maybe some mutual pining/rom-com shenanigans that finally resolve around the holidays. - Accidentally bonded (soul-bonded or anything else magic-related) and then getting together is tried-and-true fantastic trope with these two! - Anything with the rest of the team involved in/very aware of their crushes on each other, trying to help set them up, etc. I love all the Starboys. Background Stars rarepairs also welcome! 
Tyson Barrie/Gabriel Landeskog
- These two were MADE for fun rom-com tropes, if you ask me, Tyson especially. He’s ridiculous and I love him. Any rom-com or meet-cute and lack of communication that results in pining (that finally gets resolved) is just A+ - I don’t think I’ve ever seen a soulmate AU with this pairing, and I would absolutely LOVE one. Maybe not name-on-skin, but any other variation of these two figuring out that they are soulmates would be amazing! - Colorado in winter and Tyson enjoying DQ regardless of the season seems like a really fun match up - maybe some snowed in/cuddle for warmth shenanigans too?
Erik Johnnson/Nathan MacKinnon (There are less than ten fics of these two on Ao3 so I wouldn’t be picky at ALL if this is what you end up going with! I’ll just rain my love down on you forever.)
- Mutual pining with a dash of Tyson and Gabe as exasperated best friends is. SO delightful. - Fitness instructor AU where one of them teaches a class the other ends up attending (yoga? zumba? anything that seems mildly ridiculous for someone over 6ft and built like a hockey player to be teaching and/or taking is fair game) - actually ANY of these pairings would be super fun with this AU - Anything with American EJ/Canadian Nate shenanigans - do they need to get married because Nate needs a green card? Bantering about American vs Canadian Thanksgiving? Is it a rivalry thing? Love it.
Brett Ritchie/Devin Shore (Another pairing that is criminally overlooked and has too few fics! Anything with these two would be amazing.)
- Childhood best friends ending up on the same team together - either finally reunited, or just their long-term friendship getting deeper! Also good: the physical changes that come with being adults now, watching the other going from cute kid to NHL player (insert eye emojis here) - Possessive and/or protective behavior on the ice, maybe coming to a head as a result of one of them getting injured? Brett fighting for Devin would be awesome, but the reverse would also be interesting to see! - Also anything fluffy and holiday-themed for these two!  - Fake dating in which their families get really excited they are together after so long, which makes them realize how perfect for each other they really are
That’s about all I can think of! Again, anything holiday-themed would just be absolutely delightful to me (seriously, lift from the Hallmark holiday movies if you want to - I love wintery/rom-com/holiday tropes!) and overall, I just love seeing my faves get together and find their happy ending. Feel free to mix and match any of the above, regardless of pairing, if you see something that inspires you!
If you have any questions about preferences as you write, my inbox is open to anon messages! (Or you can ask @jamiebengal14, who knows my brain very well and will absolutely keep your secrets.)
Thank you again, dear author, for signing up for this exchange and writing something for me! I hope something here is inspirational and excites you for whatever you choose to write! ♥♥

Also, we’re just posting these en-masse, because fuck spamming dashes with compliments. |D From the anon compliment meme, Oct 15th, 2017:
am decidedly late to this meme, but i need to fluff too: you put SO much of your time just into trying to make the environment as nice for everyone as you can that its incredible, & outside of that, i just really love chattering away about stuff in between whenever i can & hearing about your day & your recipe adventures. please get better coworkers, tho. unu
THANKS, NONA, I TOTALLY DID. tuwut
tbh i honestly forget all your characters are written by the same person sometimes bc their voices are ALL SO DIFFERENT its amazing. your writing is always so spot on and perf and i love everything about how you do characterization and voice and its just the best tbh. You're pretty all around amazing and i'm always looking forward to your contributions to like. anything. You got a good brain in a good head and im pleased to be your friend
if i ever meet a saltier bird than you i will fear for my life. also 10/10 one of the best rpers ever.
You're a pigeon nerd with really good people skills and storylines and really good characters and really good worldbuilding. And I love it and it is a PROBLEM >:[
Omgg, you're just THE BEST! I love all your characters to bits, I love your IRL stories, I think you have great taste in media (I've cried over every book you've recced me, I think?), and I'm so delighted to be friends with you. You're an absolute delight.

                             remember my thanksgiving list? this one is gonna be worse. yes you read right, im attempting this and i hope whoever sees this has a nice day and happy holidays. star tr.ek in more ways than i care to admit has shaped my life so to write paul and get back into the fandom felt like a fresh breeze while simultaneously it felt like coming home and i’m incredibly happy to be here again with such cool and kind folks like you all.                             basically, because german’s celebrate christmas on the 24th and we open our presents the same evening this might come as a pre-present to some of you but whatever. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, guys, under the cut is a long ass list from me to you to express just how grateful i am for you all to be here. i tried my best to include as many people as i could but of course, i sadly don't have the capacity to find kind words for all of my beauty followers but please be aware - and i might repeat myself but it doesn't make it less true - i love you all and im thankful you’re here with me.
in no particular order bc fuck me that's too much work (also wow jelly told me it was stupid to keep my conversations in tabs but tbh never really closing them really helped me here)
@infiinitepossibilities : im glad we started talking more. before i just knew you as this amazing multimuse writer who had all their muses down perfectly but now im getting to know you as an amazing person as well and that's just incredibly cool
@hcndlehim : adam, my dear boy adam. i love you. through many fandoms and over the course of many blogs we have stayed together and i can honestly say that is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. you’re such a delight to talk to and your writing has such a nice flow, so having you as my friend and writing partner for so long has just ?? made my a lot happier than you know
@culberr  / @disciipled : i have time and time again told you i love your writing and i have no idea if oyu think im kidding when i say i show it off but some of my friends can confirm i did actually send stuff to them and i do gush about our amazing writing because i cannot get enough of your style (and oyu bc i lub u). your way of telling things just has such a nice and easy flow that it makes me want to never stop reading your things and we’re lvl 5 friends so when i say i hate how much i love everything you do im not lying. you are amazing and talented and such a nice guy like im still stocked to be able to call you that and not weird you out with that. i just ?? adore you
@stamcts : some people say my aesthetic is on point but they obviously have never seen your blog bc arthur? i love every single post you make. i have seen your ic posts, they’re great and your writing is beyond amazing so ?? let it be known i adore you and im jealous of your skills to dig up cool things on the internet. and ur writing skill, fuck you for that.
@lifedeathpeacewar : leo my boi, my friend,i just cannot tell you how easily i fall in love with people who stan the same people i stan and lets be honest i think you love him more than i do but that's okay bc this way i can focus some of my love on you. im one of the people that say i love duplicates but then only follow two idk why im just that weird but i know you’re doing great with my son and i know you’re doing even  better with mark and lets be honest i already know you’re gonna be great with lucas as well bc you’re great with everything that you put your mind to and i envy you for that.
@orbinglight : i tried for your birthday already to express how much i love you but in no language the world has to offer there are enough words to really make it known just how much you really mean to me. im not as poetic as you are when it comes to praising and finding the right way to phrase things for you, so i just have to hope that you know - through all my clumsy attempts of telling you - just how near and dear to my heart you are. at this point you’re truly the person with the most beautiful soul i have ever met online or irl and i just cannot stand the thought of one day maybe not having you anymore because damn you’re gorgeous and amazing and talented and in so many ways the best thing that has happened to me on this blue hellsite
@selflessdoctor : i kinda wanna say see above bc for you too i feel all these things even though i dont always tell them as outright as i list them for artie but you’re important to me, having found you and somehow forced you into talking to me and becoming my friend was one of the best ideas i ever had and ? im so glad you let me - this odd girl you never met before - stick around and harras you. not really you know what i mean but like ?? i love you and i know i don't say that often enough but just let it be known you’re fucking perfect okay.
@turrissomnia  : three god damn blog changes and you know what ? i still love you, im still impressed by your TOS knowledge and im still absolutely adoring your portrayals. now its just even more muses you’re nailing its really cool to watch tbh.
@bellicaptivus : i honestly dont understand your fascination with strudel but im here for it and im here for your absolute magnificent portrayal of this boi so stay awesome, stay here with us and ?? don’t change bc i absolutely adore you
@adheretologic : i probably mentioned this before but you were the first disco blog i ever followed, like i think you came before adam and i still very much love seeing you on my dash
@kelpiencomplexities : i wish we knew each other better, i wish i would see your writing but man, i just love you in general idk you just are such a delight, like you introduced yourself with a pun thats always a plus in my book im just ?? very happy to have you around friend you’e really cool
@georgiov : im extremely thankful for your patience, you somehow have managed to explain the basics of SW to me without losing your mind and all that while running an amazing disco blog? you’re and im running out of positive words but like you’re the best and i love you okay
@starxbcrn : you are so iconic its unfair, like look at you having all of this creativity and talent and somehow you always come back to your golden boi, i just ?? cannot not tell you how much you inspire me and how much i love seeing you around without having to use the thesaurus
@astromed : you aesthetic: on point. your mccoy: on point. your writing: unfairly amazing. i’ll be honest i like looking at your posts, i like reading your posts, i like just having you on my dash and from the few interactions we had i know you’re a cute bean. i said it before you got recommended to me by a friend and i cannot ever regret following you
@neverarhyme : call me a nerd but i love you and im very grateful we’ve managed to stick together through me ignoring your messages and you being you for two years already but you’ve somehow become one of my best friends on this website and i don't hate you for it. in fact im time and time again amazed at how oyu handle things, at how developed ver is and how you still manage to surprise me even tho so much time ahas passed.
@theharricr : lizzie, lizzie, lizzie, you are my light sometimes, i just ? i just absolutely love you, no strings attached i love talking to you, i love watching things with you just ?? being able to call you a friend is honestly making me so happy time and time again
@jaylahofussfranklin : you’re one of the people who sometimes pop up and sometimes vanish without a trace and honestly every time you  come back to me im very happy about it. like - you’re cool, you’re one of my oldest friends here, probably the only german i want to talk to on this website and idk if i ever told you but your jaylah and your sarah are just fucking perfect.
@friendoftheood : honestly every time we talk you’re just the cutest bean and your grasp on rose is absolutely admirable. i have no idea why you think im worthy of having you follow me but im so grateful to have you around you can’t imagine
@cadetxtilly : you are honestly a bucket of sunshine and your tilly just absolutely makes me happy. she is very on point, she is very adorable and you convey every single aspect of her perfectly. your headcanons and ic posts about her just ?? make it really worth following you
@atomiism : would still 10/10 drop my man for you but real talk? when i rp’ed as ray and saw you and your blog and your writing i was ready to just completely give this boy over to you and what you have done with him since then is magical, i cannot believe someone as talented as you is here and likes me. even after so mayn months im still blown away by having met you, by knowing the face behind the brain that knows all these pretty words and can string them together like damn my darling dear you are perfect in every single way <3
@burnedlegend : you truly are a very special specimen. obv not in a bad way i mean i fucking love you but in a way that you’re so unique even though you’re sometimes a mess i can honestly say im looking forward to seeing you grow and be happy in your life bc already you have a fantastic personality and a kind soul and you’re so refreshing to talk to (when u fucking answer) idk if i have told you lately, probably not bc lets face it i suck as well, but i adore you and i value your friendship and i’ll always be here if you need me. you’re great no matter what anyone says, bc you’re you and i love that man that i have come to know over the course of this year bc he is such a passionate disaster and i wouldn’t want you to stop being you for anything in the world.
@revivedlegend : you’re an absolute dear, you have been there for me in tough times and you’ve given me so many great advice i honestly don't know what i would do without you. i know life is hard and i know people say it gets better but sometimes it doesn’t look that way? listen, you’re perfect and you deserve good things and im absolutely positive that you’ll reach great things, that life will be beautiful for you but until then im here for you and i love you with all of my heart and some that i borrowed from gabe. you are amazingly creative even if you dont see that right know but i have always loved your portrayals, your writing and your devotion to the things you love. christina you’re fantastic, okay. <3
@warsighted  : i love you, i hate your penname but i love everything else about you. listen, from the way you approach characters to the way your characterise them and the way you plot and the way you get excited about things. i love all of that. you’re incredible and so nice on top of being stupidly talented. its honestly unfair thank god you’re balancing that out with a weird penname xD
@outlawiism : how can i make this list and not say something nice about you? kinda not an option tbh bc you’re this amazing ball of positivity even when times are rough its just magical to see you on my dash and now that we talk again its just making me want to be the best version of myself so i can spread just as much positivity and make people happy and honestly? all that aside your love and devotion to peter is one of a kind, your writing is flawless and i just hope ?? one day you’re gonna archive your dreams and do the things you want and tbh you deserve cool things happening to you. so knock on wood for that!
@srenity & @courtesn : sorry im throwing you both together like this but liten, i’ve loved your inara before and im incredibly happy you’re back and now seeing the both of you play this otp out is something i hadn’t known i needed bc you’re not just beautifully on point but you’re both carrying the fandom with your fantastic writing its just making me love firefly so much more thanks to you two <3
@snowinabottle : you’re cute, your girl is cute, your blog is cute, your aesthetic is cute idk maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't but im not the best with words i just ? don't know how i should tell you but i like having you around and i like seeing you on my dash and i just like you in general okay? okay
@stellaexlacrima : im always weak for ocs even tho sometimes it takes me a while to get to know them and im sorry we didnt start talking sooner bc now that i know you i cannot believe i was so blind to your genius for so long. honestly? i love you, i loved plotting with you, i loved talking to you and im absolutely positive i will love writing with yoou no matter how slow i am. im absolutely excited for our thread, im excited for orange people and weird caves and wicked plant sutff bc i a excited to let paul have this adventure with anika
@multamusae : you are one of the people on this website who somehow manage to be very productive and as much as it sometimes makes me feel funny very often i look at your blog and im just astonished by the sheer amount of work and effort you put into everything. you are incredible, you’re so cool and your ocs give me all the life, i originally followed you for your mycroft and im still here it feels like years have passed and you’re still this amazingly talented writer from so long ago please don't ever change in that way.
@childzerozeronine : we don’t talk often enough and that is partially my fault and partially yours but let it be known im very happy that we did eventually started talking after so long of just loving artie together. nine is one of the best stranger thangs ocs i have ever seen and we both know for a while you couldn't look anywhere without them but she is amazing and i love her and i love you and im sorry im not the best chat partner
@derbefehl : we honestly have never talked but i feel very much drawn towards you for you have shown a great taste in muse, a great taste in ivan and you’re just all around ? really cool to have on my dash? i really like your writing like damn that's some good stuff you have right there
@chosemypain : i know we never talked but jelly is really loving your portrayal and honestly that’s good enough for me, you have shown great taste in show and muse and im all here for your brilliance tbh 
@espressovixen / @brokenspy : vicky my dear, im sorry im not on jayne so it might be confusing but it is i, your local disappointment: dottie. can i just take a moment and tell you: you’re probably one of my favourite writers? like idk if you can tell but i have seen so many people, i’ve seen so many different writings styles and yours is just ? outstanding to me. your love and passion for your girls is magical, your personality is so sweet and kind and i ? cannot believe how lucky i am to call you a friend, i’ve literally been in love with your writing like four blogs ago already.
@fasciinating : you are probably one of the first spocks i EVER found and honestly i can’t believe i got so lucky that you follow me back, i swear whenever i see you on my dash im just blown away by your talent and portrayal 
@methodcop : over different blogs and fandoms neither of us is in im very glad we seem to keep finding each other over and over again. you truly are one of these people that you just ?? don't feel right not having on the dash, skye you’re amazing and i love you okay? okay
@rendczvous : fish, im sorry you’re last on this list and i wasn’t sure if i should even say something but honestly i just kind of have to. you are so cute and jelly loves you so much i sorta have to be thankful that you put up with her when im not around and honestly that in itself is a feat already but then you write and its just like woah you’re not just cute but also talented and honestly i find that unfair and i would like to file a complaint

Hi Emily! Love u and ur blog!
Thank you so much! That’s so nice of you to say :)
There are so many different ways to be a Slytherin, so I can’t really speak to anyone else’s experience! While I absolutely, 100% identify as a Slytherin, I’m a very different one than the Slytherins seen in the books
(This got very long, so I added a cut)
My most defining trait, and my most Slytherin one, is my acute sense of self-preservation. My sense of fight or flight is off the charts. When danger comes, I will flee so fast that I’ll leave a Kool Aid Man-style hole in the wall. Like Slughorn said, I will always chose to save my own neck. I’m also a very guarded, cautious, cynical person, so I tend to keep my distance from people until I really trust them (which comes very gradually). I’ve always considered my Patronus to be a hedgehog (which Pottermore confirmed, much to my delight), because when stressed, I will curl up to protect myself, seem prickly af, but am actually very soft and gentle deep down. 
I’m also resourceful, logical, analytical, shrewd, and rather sneaky. I always see loopholes and know how to talk my way out of difficult situations. I’m also very good at reading people, so I know what they expect from me and how to- curry favor, I suppose, although not in a malicious way. But I can tell people what I know they want to hear and gently twist situations to my favor. I tend not to do this, because I’m also stubborn and believe strongly in being true to myself, but I can do it, if I so choose. Also, because I’m so attuned to other people’s emotions, I often absorb them; this helps me be highly empathetic, but it can also be quite exhausting. I see too much, and perception is, after all, “a tool that's pointed on both ends”
I have very high expectations for myself, which can be a challenge. I’m very perfectionistic and want to be the best, and I tend not to accept anything less than that. I’m not competitive against other people, but I’m very competitive with myself. And while I do love to learn, I tend to focus on grades and how to do as well as possible (sometimes by doing as little work as possible, lol, because I’m also rather lazy). Ravenclaws are all about the process of learning, whereas I’m about the end result.
I’m also very introverted and appreciate quietness, so I find the idea of more polished Slytherins very comforting. Not all of them are like that, of course, but due to the focus on traditionalism, I always imagine they’re more reserved than the other houses, which very much appeals to me. People who are controlled and speak carefully and with a great deal of tact are my kind of people. I love the thought of curling up in the window of the Slytherin Common Room and gazing out at the lake in a relatively quiet space. I’d need dorm mates who respect my boundaries and give me a great deal of personal space, which I think I’d find in Slytherin.
I’m sorry that this is so rambly! And again, this is very specific to me. There are so many different ways to be Slytherin, and you could be extremely different from me and still fit. And ultimately, I think it’s up to each person to pick the house that feels right to them. It doesn’t matter what sorting quizzes say, it matters what’s in your heart
