“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.”
— Emmi Itäranta. Kuunpäivän kirjeet
“Mom cried. Dad left the room. Vivian sat in the corner and listened quietly. Our cat Minni jumped on the bed and curled up on my legs and purred, for through purring the sick are healed.”

putting your fist through a thick sheet of glass (i know you don't want to) on AO3
Written for The Big Resurrection Event (@tlt-big-resurrection), including artwork from @the-purple-duck
Harrowhark Nonagesimus and Gideon Nav have always been at each other’s throats, and the animosity has only intensified since the death of Harrow’s parents. But when a car accident leaves Gideon without any memories of her past, Harrow sees a chance at the clean slate she’s wanted for years. Becoming involved in Gideon’s recovery assuages some of the guilt, but as she and Gideon become closer and increasingly involved in each other's lives, Harrow worries that some of her secrets may be more than she can atone for.

“It’s wrong to decide you don’t like this place just because it’s the Devildom, or that you don’t like someone just because they’re a demon. You can’t pass judgment on someone before you know them. You have to take the time to discover what they’re like on the inside. And once I started doing that… Before I knew it, I suddenly found that I’d made a lot of friends here.”
— Luke (Chapter 72-4)

allow me to gush for a minnie, my bf just did the cutest thing 🥺
there's this japanese bakery by his gym that we buy bread from whenever we're craving something late at night (it's usually a mix of the last few stocks but we’ve been doing this thing since 2019 where we taste test whatever’s left).
and today, just when he got home from the gym, he messaged me one after the other: "i have smth for you" -> "but i wanted to—" -> "nvm i'll just call" then called and showed me the bread he got for me 😭 he got us one each of our fave one 🥺
and he was doing this face 🥺 saying: "i can never hide anything from you ☹️ i meant for it to be a surprise but i really wanted to show you 🥺" and then after a while, "how come i can't keep things from my *insert petname* ☹️🥺?"
i am so 🥺🥲

So earlier today I introduced some of my WIPs to some new people, and I realised that many people might not be familiar with those two WIPs.
Kriya Petri: fantasy (with body horror & dystopian elements). Setting: A country called Fillor on a planet called Thuluke.
In Fillor, to bind yourself to the one you love, you require a trinamate potion to seal the bond. 'Trinamate' is marriage (though that is a rather crude translation of the word). But to get a trinamate potion legally, the couple needs to be… acceptable. A man and a woman who plan to have at least one child. Yes, it's been 1000 years since the global apocalypse, but 'sufficient reproduction' is still a concern among the Filore people (plus it's a moral virtue for the Divine Monarchy, who reside on the cloudlands, with an iron grip on the institutes of Fillor).
A potioneer wants to elope with their lover, but the pair is, let's just say, not acceptable. So what are they to do? The potioneer brews a trinamate potion on their own, finding the closely guarded methods & ingredients for the potion through who-knows-who, bunch of shady people.
The potion explodes.
The potioneer knows the punishment for something like this. They'll be condemned to Kaewoe (so will their lover, if anyone finds out), a realm so deep below the ground that it's close to the core of the planet. Kaewoe, where the mind & body are destroyed by the horribly high concentration of magic. Kaewoe, the names & lives & loves of all who enter it, all slowly turned to unknowledge.
Good thing stealing identities is absurdly easy in Fillor! The potioneer wipes all memory of their crimes & love (or else the Thought magicians would know), flees to the city of Naebo. Their name is now Kriya Petri,
.
Welcome To The Real World: scifi, fantasy, surrealism, horror, tragedy
This one's in very early stages
Inspired by Frankenstein
Setting: The Great South Asian Rip in Reality, where physics (time & space both) is just completely twisted. The year is sometime in the 2070s. Sometimes it's the 2040s outside the Rip. Depends when/where you step out. Moh-maya, reality's very fabric & everything that keeps up the illusions that comprise reality, are very malleable in here.
Main character: Kabir aka Moksh. A closeted Indian trans man who lives a double life, perhaps even a triple life.
One in which he's a cis woman & a regular bright STEM student (STEM studies also include study of moh-maya).
Another in which he's just some guy with good friends (the most authentic of his lives), where he goes by the name Kabir & uses moh-maya to present as his true self. If only temporarily. (it's painful, mentally & physically, whenever he has to revert to the female form).
The third is some mad scientist bullshit, he's going by the name of Moksh among his fellow mad scientists & his main project is a moh-maya Frankenstein's monster that others can share their consciousness with, such that they can experience shape-shifting more easily & go where they physically aren't, do things they physically can't. Let's simply call it the 'entity'.
Due to many reasons, creating this entity is pretty illegal. Hence the new name & collaboration with fellow shady people.
the plot, put shortly: he starts doing vigilante justice w/the entity & then goes far & gets more & more consumed w/work & things go verrrrrrryyyyyy wrong despite starting with (dubious but) good intentions.
in this second one i neglected to mention the fact that you, as the reader, get front row tickets to the main character's spiral into madness & justifying murders thru the entity + the entity is a whole person & has opinions + a whole lot of other stuff, I DID mention that this WIP is in very early stages but holy fuck i could go on & on about it (just not in a way that can be packaged in a structured & sensible introduction)

as of now i just realized that i haven’t shared this theory/au of mine on tumblr before, and since the stone ocean anime has wrapped up i feel it would be fun for me to share it out to even more people!
the au i developed has been centered around this one simple theory:
(my own proper explanation and reasonings will be under the cut if you’re interested)
the foot bone that was being used during stone ocean is technically and most certainly jonathan’s with his own dna. after examining the timeline, dio had given this to pucci before he fully took over jonathan’s body around the end of sdc. i’m not 100% sure though since it’s been a while - even if his body was taken over during dio’s process the metatarsal bone still has parts of jonathan inside of its structure, extracting from skeletons is a common practice for identifying remains in plenty of scientific fields due to this fact (plus with the baby having that birthmark... come on now). another aspect which ties this entire concept together is during most of it’s duration shown the green baby is incredibly fond of jolyne, taking a liking to her in an instant with anasui even commenting it’s as if it knows her (maybe even for a long time as he states in the anime).
i have been pondering about the idea that if this baby were to properly grow up and thrive instead of ultimately fusing with pucci it could have become a near copy of jonathan joestar in terms of looks. of course this baby is a plant creature so its anatomy and certain visuals aren’t fully jonathan, however the dna/genes involved are a major part of how it could grow and take shape if given the chance.
from now on i will be reblogging this and adding on explaining how the story i have developed goes - it isn’t fully planned out but i have many ideas which build upon it. as for now thank you for reading my wacky concepts. :)
