#bc im in love with ryland

[eepyjay]

Finally getting back into reading project Hail Mary annnnd it’s getting good

#liiiiike im very very interested Andy you had me worried for a little bit I shouldnt have doubted you king im sorry #like I was interested in the story but idk the first little bit was just like not super pulling me in but chapters four and five have me #ready and seated and has me wanting to know more #I think I was feeling that way about the beginning bc in the Martian it like starts from the get go like immediately you’re like holy shit #what’s this guy gonna do? and it kinda is like that with Hail Mary but also not??? idk how to explain it my brain is stupid #like the vibes of it were different cause you knew the peril mark was in but don’t exactly know the peril/plight of Ryland #there’s a lot of mystery in Hail Mary and I really like finding it out as the character does #but I’m very much enjoying the book and am excited to keep reading it!!! going swimming tomorrow and will probably bring my book so I can #just chill and read a bit #also first time annotating my book and I kinda love it and the app I use makes it way easier so I dont have to stop every time to pull out #my pens and sticky notes I just add a pick note in the app that tracks my read time and I can go back and add it which I love cause I was #getting somewhat annoyed in the stopping and starting of my reading to add my annotations like that it’s much quicker this way

neurodivergency is cool and all but when can i just be Normal about something

#like if i didnt consume a piece of media as a young kid/teen i might as well ignore it bc it will not have the same chokehold on me #like all my old interests that i expressed at my start on this site have come back #but getting into new stuff? nah #like a couple newer things broke in but they had ties to stuff i liked before #dunking on twilight was the best as a kid #it only made sense to actually read and watch it later in life and then develop encyclopedic knowledge #so i can dunk on it more #phm is kinda a curveball but not bc ryland and rocky are exactly the bff duo i love in media #alas #it’s so annoying too bc like. i dont get to choose what i obsess over #and im stuck with hs rn #which is. ok whatever #but wtf am i supposed to do with it #idk like it’s exhausting to be so entrenched in a fixation #like i cant do anything else #even if i want to #ugh

masterlist of all my fics!

im notaleks on ao3. but here's all my fics in goddamned order (best to worst in my opinion)! also with so, so many links so you can get to the places :))

PROJECT HAIL MARY (16 fics)

The Elimination Project -- Rocky's POV of the trip to Tau Ceti (then his arrival back on Erid)

5 times people thought Grace and Stratt were "engaged in sexual congress" + 1 time they didn't! -- 5x fic, just what it sound slik e(but really 4x bc we saw one in the book

off-brand trolley problem -- the unseen meeting wherein The Scientists have to decide whether or not to kill grace

untitled stratt fic (or, stratt slaying) -- after grace has been kidnapped off to launch, stratt goes through some of grace's items

You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? -- good ol ryland grace has a mental breakdown after having had published his paper on water & life (and getting fired)

Just The Two of Us: You and I -- one-shot collection of grace & rocky being The Best Duo

Eva Stratt, Praetor Maximus -- scientists and stratt being a little silly. really just self-indulgent because i wanted to write about the earth crew :)

a dream of water -- grace has a lil breakdown on erid 'cause he's lonely and sad and has scurvy

Get Back to Where You Once Belonged -- AU wherein grace was able to ge tback to earth. i wrote this a LONG time ago so it's not very good.

all-nighting -- grace works too much, for his lack of having a life. stratt, concerned for the safety of everyone on stratt's vat (and grace's, tbh), intervenes

it's hot and we rot in this oven... -- a day in the life of a worker on the sahara, assembling/laying down blackpanels

Rocky T. Cowboy (I AM SO SORRY) -- (deep breath...) rocky as a cowboy. i'm not sure either. it's crack, ok?

i’m going absolutely FERAL over project hail mary (the book i got for christmas and read in two days and just finished and it’s now my favorite book ever) 

CALLISTO DONT LOOK BENEATH THE CUT THERES SPOILERS 

AGHHHH i need to know if this book has a fandom but i currently don’t have service im just writing this in my notes app. i want to search it up on tumblr i NEED more of this content 

THE FREAKING BETRAYAL. i understand why she did it but JESUS that’s SUCH A DECISION TO HAVE TO LIVE WITH. it was like an absolute PUNCH TO THE GUT. and the fact that the audience gets the pieces at the same time as ryland does… it’s SO FREAKING GOOD. 

ALSO THE EPILOGUE. the ending scene where he teaches the young eridians i almost cried he loves kids so much he did this FOR his students on earth and now he gets to teach kids again 😭😭😭

the whole suicide mission thing. oh man. and the fact that he thought he had volunteered bc of the amnesia and then gets the memory back that he was literally forced to do this and he had no choice…. realizing that he wasn’t the selfless hero he thought he was…. ough. 

RYLAND AND ROCKYS BOND. OHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. AND THE ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT ACCURATE COMMINICATION BETWEEN THEM. THE BASICS OF USING ATOMIC STRUCTURES TO COMMUNCIATE AND AHHHHHHHH. 

i am SO AUTISTIC ABOUT THIS BOOK I SWEAR

(updated 3/8/23)

BYF

im not a super strict person, but i block harry potter fans, chire members, and dedicated nsfw blogs (only if y'all try to follow me here)

a lot of my regression is involuntary, and it's something i post/talk about fairly often. if you talk to me and call my involuntary regression "impure" or "negative", you'll be blocked.

sometimes i swear or talk about more negative stuff here! i try and tag it when i remember, but if that really bothers you, this blog probably isn't where you wanna be

don't be afraid to spam like/reblog!! i love to see people go through my blog, have fun with it :D

EXTRA INFO

[fabulouslygaybean]

1. i tried to look you up to send you this ask and was so confused why tumblr didn't show me your blog when i just straight up looked up "ryland"

2. i'm making the character design month challenge ehehehe i have some ideas so far but bc you're the one who inspired me to make it i was wondering if you had any ideas for simple themes that could be used in different creative ways to design a character!!

im so so sorry this took as long as it did to answer, it's been sitting in my drafts for days and i feel kinda bad. my brain has been awful lately :')

first off. i love that, and oh my god, ive literally done the exact same for your blog before. i tried looking up clementine once and got pissed wondering why i couldn't find your blog before i Realized

second. hell yeah!! im glad you're going through with it dude, can't wait to see that whenever it's finished :]

im afraid i don't have many ideas, though. i don't really know what kind of thing you're going for as far as like... how general each theme should be, how much detail they should have, etc, so im not sure what to recommend

if you're looking for super super general ones, ive had "bioluminescent" on the mind for a few days, so maybe that could work? i just think glowing character designs are cool as hell and it would be neat seeing how people work with that

#asks #this is kinda jumbled but im struggling to think properly rn #again. ben i am so sorry this took so long to answer #i need to get better at answering asks much quicker

i didn't think andy weir could do it again but he did it again. project hail mary is a fucking masterpiece

sauveur

pairing(?): Danny Johnson (Ghostface) x Reader

Notes: This was originally part of that Danny x reader x frank story I told y'all that Im working on, but I changed my outline so I cut it, which is why it starts and ends weird and is short. I was going through some of my old writings I've done and found it and decided to post (ik Im lazy ) bc we love Danny and it satisfies me . 

TW: SA attempt, very gross pervy character, depictions of the murder of said character tho, blood. It’s Ghostface duh there will be murder  

You should have known allowing one of the school jocks to take you out on a date, which took a lot of convincing on his part, would have ended terribly..

“You fucking bitch!” Ryland yelled, his hand holding onto the bleeding nose. His eyes followed your movements as you quickly stepped back after his release on your arm, hand falling by your side in shock by your own action.

At seeing the blood coating his fingers, his eyes rapidly changed from shock to fury as he continued to step towards you, his fist clenching.

“I told you to get your hands off me !” You panicked as you felt like your option to simply walk away from the boy diminished with the way he was stalking towards you. Eyes darted around the isolated area. You felt like an idiot for letting him drive you out here but you didn’t know the boy was going to try to force himself on you .

Ryland only wiped at his nose roughly before grabbing you by the shoulder and shoving you backwards harshly, a pained yelped echoing through the woods once your back collided with the grassed floor. You felt the breath forced out of you by the impact, groaning as you felt him tower over you.

“What-what are you doing!” His hands gripped your legs after an attempt to scoot away, pulling you towards him as he sat on them. His hands reaching towards your shirt, successful pushing it halfway up your stomach.

You felt sick at feeling his hands touch the side of your stomach, palms pushing against his chest as hard as you could. “What the fuck! Get off me!!”

“Cmon, don’t be a prude. I promise you’ll enjoy it.” He placed his hand over you mouth at a weak attempt to shush you as he began to kiss your beck neck. Each contact from his lips burned on your skin, breath quickening once you realized he was really set out on what he wanted to do.

Feeling his hand slightly loosen around your mouth, you took the opportunity to sink your teeth into the side of his palm and pinkie. The metallic taste falling on your tongue before the sound of his pained yell entered your ears and the hand was pulled away.

Ryland gripped his hand in shock before bringing his other hand up and quickly slapping your across the face. The force causing your head to snap to the side , banging onto the ground for the second time.

Your swore your vision blackedned for a second, the pounding against your skull making it hard for you to focus fully on fighting back. You really were helpless. His hands grabbed onto the waist of your jeans , causing for you to weakly move your heads towards him.

The pathetic attempt of saying ‘stop’ died on your lips at the sight of a cloaked figure behind the brunette that was too busy concentrating on the zipper of the pants. Your eyes widened in horror focusing on the white mask stuck on that frightening expression that you’ve seen before.

Ghost face simply tilted its head, a sharp knife appearing in a wave.

Ryland finally noticed the look on your face, eyes brows furrowing in confusion before turning to look at what you caught your attention. He didn’t get a chance to process before the hand with the knife was brought in one quick motion, slitting the boy’s throat.

You watched in shock as the boy hands came up to hold his throat, blood slipping between his fingers as the force in the swing turned him towards you once again. His eyes nearly bulging out of his head as he looked towards you helplessly

His body convulsed as he coughed, blood splattered from his lips onto your face. You merely only flinched at the contact, body frozen in terror. Your body began to feel numb as you watched him attempt to stand up but only was successful in stumbling towards the side, his knees digging into the grass as he tried crawling away.

ghostface simply walked slowly behind , shaking his head slightly. The boy’s gargling and attempts at breathing was the only source of sound surrounded them, any life in the woods hiding themselves, as though watching the whole exchange.

He didn’t notice any of this in his struggle to reach his truck only a few feet away. One hand not holding his wound reaching towards it. A foot collided to his side, forcing him on his back. A strangled cry vibrated from his chest when the masked killer finally plunged the knife in his chest, pulling it out and bringing back down with more force.

You finally managed to tear your eyes away, body gaining back its senses. You flinched at every sound that the knife made slicing the boys skin. It felt like a life time before it finally stopped and Ryland body went limp. His glazed over eyes stuck on the sky.

Your ears caught on your own heavy breathing, whole body shaking as you stared a spot in the grass. The sound of footsteps surrounded the still night before Ghostface knelt in front of you, his gloved fingers sliding across the sharp metal, wiping the blood away. You finally looked up at him, eyes looking right at the blackened eyes on the mask.

“Are you going to kill me?” A whisper , not daring to break eye contact. Ghostface stayed silent for a few moments, before a hand reached up, ignoring the flinching, and placed on you cheek.

“We’re going to have fun.”

I know Jeffree did some shit, but didn’t Shane just make bad jokes in the past and then apologize and grow from them? Genuinely asking

yes, shane has grown and changed. he personally apologized to everyone he hurt, and accepted the fact that some people will never forgive him. i’m a little wary of him rn just because garrett and andrew haven’t forgiven him, and i trust those two with my damn life. but yeah, jeffree is just a straight up piece of shit. his apology video was literally “i’m sorry for what i’ve done, but here’s my new makeup i’m releasing soon” like WTF WAS THAT SIR 😂😂 if i do watch shane’s vids, it’s always ones w garrett and andrew (and morgan) bc i love them the most.

now, i understand garrett and andrew may have forgiven shane, but they are not currently (atleast publicly) friends, so until that point, i won’t give him any money lol

i should also mention that i support morgan 100%, but ryland im a little 50/50 on, he seems spoiled and snooty imo

Reflections From The Eye of The North

Find it on Ao3

Summary: The Commander reflects on the shift in the relationship between themselves and their close friends

A/N: im reposting this bc i hated the format it was in before lol

It was hard staying away from home for so long, I never really get to see my family, my friends back home, but it's been manageable. Creating, being a part of Dragon’s Watch, has maybe been my greatest accomplishment to date. Ok, raising a dragon is pretty cool, saving Tyria from certain destruction is something most adventurers and warriors only dream about, but along with that came a roller coaster of emotions. Losing good soldiers, people I had seen as friends, that was hard, making me wonder if this campaign against the dragons was even worth it. But on these adventures I met my closest friends, people that are now my family.

It always kinda pissed me off how Rytlock started to dote on me after I died. Ok that's understandable. Coming back from the dead is not something a lot of people do, but Rytlock always seemed to be part of the group just for the fights, never really joining us in meals, always having a snarky reply to whatever someone said. But after the incident, he would suggest taking breaks to rest more often, something he would never do when we were in Maguuma, a time where he would berate us for stopping to catch our breath even for a second. He was reminding me of basic self care. Like eating or sleeping. Which at times was called for, particularly in the days leading up to the fight with Balthazar, or later when we were rescuing Taimi.

Despite all this parental behavior, I didn’t make too much of it until Aurene also… passed. The days following were honestly a blur, sleeping, only being awake long enough to acknowledge the presence of my friends and the food they left nearby my bed. As much as it pissed me off then, Rytlock would wake me up and basically pull me out of bed to make me walk around and take a bath. Sitting on the bathroom floor, listening to the water run into the tub, listening to Rytlock talk at me about what was going on that day, if there were any updates on Kralkatorrik, him checking the temperature of the tub from time to time. Him giving me time to sit in the tub for what felt like hours on end while he tidied up my room, opening the curtains, leaving a peaceful silence between us, other than the occasional, “Hey kid, you still alive in there?” when he would quickly pop his head in the door of the bathroom to make sure I was ok.

I never did thank him for that.

With the other members of Dragon’s Watch, they didn’t really find the best way to express their grief to me. Rox was sweet, leaving me a piece of cake or pie in my room, but mostly left me alone. Braham, who has been through this sort of grief with Eir, really just spent his time hunting, bringing some kind of animal back for that night’s dinner. And Taimi, I didn’t see too much of her, but she would come to my room and talk to me about her research while she thought I was asleep. Caithe basically fell off the face of Tyria until she called everyone together to see Aurene again.

Watching Rytlock interact with Crecia was… to put this.... Interesting. It was like watching an old married couple bicker about the dumbest thing, but also like watching two strangers get to know each other.

It was not a surprise to me that Rytlock was a dad. Yes Charr culture puts more emphasis on your found families in the farhar and warbands, but fathering a child, changes people, changes the way they see and protect their loved ones. Meeting Ryland made the recent shift in behavior make sense. I imagine that when Rytlock was young and rising up, he had a similar view on how to approach a problem (that is to just cut it down and fight until there is no more problems).

The fight with Drakkar, like most big fights, was honestly a blur. When I look back on it, all I really remember is seeing the inky black avatar for the Whisper of Jormag, the incomprehensible yelling from Crecia and Rytlock, and the moment of numbness before the burning in my chest started and wouldn’t stop. This was what dying felt like.

As someone who most would consider to be well versed in the art of passing out from injury. It was hard to stay out. I would think that the pain would keep me sleeping, but all it did was wake me up for just a few seconds of white, hot pain before feeling faint and going limp in whosoevers arms I was in. I vaguely remember furry, soft arms, and bigger, more sturdy ones. I remember Braham whispering to me, “It’s going to be alright Commander, we’re gonna get you to safety.” Although those words seemed more to reassure himself than me. I remember more bickering from Crecia and Rytlock, him berating himself for being distracted while Bangar shot me, and then Crecia reminding him in not the most polite tone that they couldn’t do anything until they got me to safety.

Waking up to see Aurene was one of the greatest feelings ever, only to be struck back down from the exhaustion and the weight in my chest. The following conversations were hard to follow from the pain in my head and chest, the burning had not gone away.

The very first few days of recovery, Rytlock never left my side, helping me in and out of bed, running the bath and even staying in the room to make sure I didn’t reopen any wounds. His claws would delicately lower me down into the bed, petting my head to lull me to sleep through the soreness and tightness in my chest.

I was never left alone, whether I was sleeping, eating, or bathing. It was usually Rytlock or Braham who stayed with me, helping me up out of bed or helping me dress. Which was so terribly embarrassing for everyone involved. I really appreciated the company, but Braham wouldn’t stop talking about how sorry he was, how it was his bow, and how irresponsible he was to lose it in the first place. With Rytlock, we both kept to ourselves, enjoying each other’s company, speaking only when needed.

That's when I realized it, Rytlock reminded me of my dad, who always reminded me that actions speak louder than words. It’s hard being away from home, where I grew up, but a home is not always a place, it’s where your heart lies. Home is with my friends who I consider my family. We can travel the world, fight with each other, but it’s still home.

A/N: my original title was rytlock be like: i am ur father anyway lmk if u love it or hate it bc i cant get better at writing without feedback also I may or may not do this with other characters depending on what yall think

I just saw your art for your oc's, can you tell us more about them? I understand if you're not comfortable doing so, though!

boy howdy, i would Gladly tell yall abt my babes!!

ok! so! ryland elias and kylee elizabeth. aka the carlton twins. i first made kylee in about 2014, and ryland came into an existence about a year later, so they r my actual gd kids (fun fact, when i First made ryland, he was kylees twin sister named catherine ryland. honestly? ryland the way he is now has only been in existence for nearly a month). born and raised in southern colorado, theyre the youngest siblings of the carlton family, ryland being just a few minutes younger than kylee. they have two older siblings, the oldest being their brother, lucas, and the second oldest being their sister, jennifer. the twins both have mad daddy issues cause their dad? is shit. but between the two, ry’s got Far more issues, mostly stemming from their father constantly comparing him to kylee. growing up, kylee was always the more popular one that, like, Everybody liked and, when they were kids, they looked almost exactly the same, which resulted in ppl mixing them up a LOT and being super disappointed when they realize theyre talking to ry (more often than he’d like to admit, someone would come up to him and start talking to him, and hed get super excited until he turned his head just enough for the person to see his birthmark. when they’d walk away from him, like, right away, the disappointment? crushing)

now. im gonna go into a lil more detail abt each of em individually. kylee? a total bitch. an absolute heathen. shes a bitchy, egotistical jock. shes always been one of those Popular Kids who would make fun of anyone and everyone (basically, just think of like. a slightly more muted regina george). shes been a huge jock ever since she was a little kid. basically, think of a sport that schools have teams for, and i guarantee you that she played them. as a super little kid, she was a huge tomboy—she had short hair, constantly wore sports jerseys, an absolute goddamn rough and tumble bratty kid. as she grew up, tho, she got more in touch with her feminine side. she grew her hair out, dyed it pink, threw out her wardrobe, and started wearing more feminine clothes. she’s far happier now that she’s let herself be more feminine, and its also a nice ego boost when she kicks the ass of some dude who underestimated her for being so feminine. basically, she is the most cutthroat bitch you will ever meet, even if she doesn’t seem like it. she’ll ruin your life if you get on her bad side, or if you fuck with ryland. she straight up cares more about starbucks than most people. but if you crack down her defenses enough, shes secretly a very sensitive sweetheart who would die and kill for the people she loves

now, ryland? completely different than kylee. hes an absolute goddamn angel. a flirty as shit bastard angel, but an angel nonetheless. as a kid, his dad gave him a lot of shit for being “too girly,” when in all actuality, ry was just an emotional kid who just really liked the color pink and playing dolls with his sisters. he absolutely loves love though. the thought of Actually falling in love scares the shit out of him bc hes afraid of being in a relationship similar to the one his parents have (whether he would be his mother or his father in that potential scenario, he doesnt know. and he doesnt know which would be scarier for him). but hes just the biggest sucker for seeing romance. hes the type of guy who, when hearing about someone getting engaged, hes Gotta know all the details—was their a speech? did anyone cry? how romantic was it? hes a complete and utter cheeseball. despite all that, hes got a major fear of intimacy, and ends up flirting and sleeping around just to avoid his Feelings (basically, just picture parts of him as buck 1.0 but like. less of a fuckboy, but same amount of dumbass, yknow?). despite always being second best to kylee, he still loves her with all of his heart and soul. and despite all the heartache and trauma hes gone through, hes still got a soft heart thats full of love for all of his siblings

#i lov my kids!!! #feel free to ask more stuff abt them cause they mean the world to me thanks #oc: kylee carlton #oc: ryland carlton #kendall blabbers #anonymous #long post /
