Hiii, are you accepting requests? If the answer is yes then...
Would you consider writting a ticci toby x m! reader where cannibalism is their way of showing love? I dont mean full on k1lling and eating, perhaps biting and lick1ng blood...small bits but nothing too risky for anyone to die.
I'd love to see this, have a nice day/night :3333
Yes! oskgjrifjwi. You don't know how happy this makes me because what better way to get through hard times and back into writing than writing mild to heavy cannibalism. In this one mild, as you requested no death. :) Oh this one is going to get a bit saucy I already know, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. Nothing too explicit but, I mean, it's basically impossible to write cannibalism in a way that isn't saucy, it's inherently an intimate act, and even more impossible when writing it between consenting parties.... *acting bewildered* who said that...anyways... I hope you like it, and I did a good job! -///-'' (after writing edit: I feel the need to mention I'm 18...so I guess I'm technically "allowed" to write/read stuff like this or more 'extreme' but hhhhh)
Ticci-Toby x cannibal! Male Reader - Eat Me~
Tw- Mild/Light Cannibalism, biting, drawing blood, gnawing on skin you know cannabilistic behaviors. Making out, neck action, praise.
It's not a secret that you bite, a many of your partners in your past were less than pleased when you'd give them a "love bite" that drew blood and even less pleased when you licked the wound clean instead of cleaning it with soap and water so you learned your lesson to let people know upfront that you're a biter and you bite hard.
It's become almost a joke to your current boyfriend and his odd character housemates. "Watch out he's a biter, it's his love language.~" A few scattered tics or whistles in his speech as he introduced you for the first time. It was a 'joke', you had been very good about not biting this far, scared that Toby was just another person who was 'into biting' that was only okay with it until you broke skin in which case they're cursing your name as they force you to drive them to the ER and never call you back.
"We'll believe it when we see it," was the general consensus, a certain blue hoodied individual raising his eyebrow at you, you had laughed awkwardly before Toby took you to his room.
It started out as a movie date, holed up in his room watching a movie he'd seen a thousand times and you'd never seen so he insisted that you watch it with him. You guys have been dating for a while, and you had successfully avoided biting him despite his protests and reassurance that it'd be okay, and he might not even feel it. You like Toby, love him even, and didn't want to wig him out.
Halfway through the movie Toby begins kissing your neck slowly moving up to your lips as he begins to make out with you. As things further heat up he begins kissing your neck again, you bury your head into his shoulder and as he riles you up further you find your teeth grazing against his neck at increasingly hard pressures. Tongue pressing against his skin as you taste him, wanting to taste more. You're breathing shakily and about to pull away when you feel his fingers entangled in your hair, "That's it sweetheart, you can do it, it's okay." Toby encourages softly as he pushes your head closer to his neck again, tilting his head slightly to give you better access, biting into your neck first, hard enough to draw blood and to show you it's okay. An action that throws your self control out the window as you bite hard enough to not only draw blood but leaves a small chunk of his skin in your mouth as well. "Attaboy.... there you go..." Toby hissed softly as you chewed and swallowed his skin. Still caressing the back of your head as you lean back in to lick the wound his blood dripping down your chin as you consume the sweet liquid.
"More?" You asked softly after pulling away. You had been so good holding back up till this point but all the times you held back were rushing to you and as you thought of all the times you didn't you craved more.
"Good boy for asking." Toby replied lifting your chin to look at him before kissing you, gently blood and saliva mixing as you made out for a little while more. Toby then shifted his shirt to expose the opposite shoulder as he began kissing your neck again. "Go for it."
With the green light you bit him again, this time only enough to draw prickles of blood as you lapped up the crimson liquid that beaded through a perfect impression of your teeth in his skin. Eternally pleased as Toby held you close as you trailed kisses up his neck before biting down again a little deeper for a more solid blood flow but still only enough to draw blood, licking the wounds and once you pulled back Toby was still there. Gazing lovingly at you before kissing you again.
A little while later once both of you had cooled down, were patched up, and rewatched the movie seeing as Toby got distracted by "The prettiest boy he's ever seen" and couldn't resist his urges and distracted you from it entirely the first time. The two of you had a conversation.
"You aren't angry at me? You liked it?" You ask him gently looking down into your lap half-expecting him to chew you up and kick you out.
"What? Oh you're talking about the biting. Oh you sweet stupid boy, yes, obviously I like it. In all honesty I've been waiting for it since our first 'I love you' because you described it as how you showed love. I was worried you didn't actually love me since you hadn't bit me yet." He pulls you close to him, your head resting on his chest. Allowing you to feel his sincerity through his heartbeat. "Part of the reason I made a move on you today to begin with... the thoughts kept jumbling around you and if you actually loved me until I physically couldn't think of anything but you."
"I swear I do! I just didn't want you to leave me or be scared off by my... odd acquired taste.." You muttered in response listening to his heartbeat contently as he laughs wholeheartedly.
"I know, you were gnawing on my fingers all movie, I know you love me. Also you don't need to hold back with me, just to say it plainly incase you were thinking of putting the lid back on that box because I'd prefer if you didn't." He said sincerely before letting the laugh and teasing consume his voice. "Yeah, mhm... You mean your cannabilistic tendencies?"
"Oh my god, shut up Tobes!" You laughed embarrassed before hiding your face in his chest again finding comfort in the hiccups and heaves as laughs as well as his heartbeat and breathing. "I'm not a full cannibal anyways, I'd never fully consume you."
"Liar you already have, at least five of my thoughts at all times include you and 5/10 times they all swirl to you anyways." He laughs as he kisses the top of your head. "Also eat me, if you want me to shut up that bad you're going to have to make me." He teased pulling away from you slightly as he smirks at you.
"Oh really, tough shot?" You lean up and start to kiss him again. The progression starts as short sweet kisses before you take his bottom lip in-between your teeth biting down until your canines break licking the blood that drips down his chin kissing him repeatedly and softly afterwards.

FLEABAG MENTION IM UP. TELL ME E V E R Y T H I N G ABOUT THAT WIP. Im all ears (and eyes to read)
Tumblr media
hhhhh it's definitely the most out there out of all of my current wips, thank you for asking<3
to clarify it isn't a fleabag au, but i have seen fleabag, infact i watch it religiously around september every year, and i think the show tackles some topics that are too nuanced to try and replicate in any other format. at least for me. anyway. that out of the way it is definitely inspired and it's extremely messy and with uh. messy family dynamics. possibly a priest somewhere. that's all for now.
okay fine you've twisted my arm.. here have this
”Am I ugly,” Dazai asks. ”That’s what you’re thinking about right now,” Kunikida asks, half-amused, half-despaired.   ”I think my nose might be on the wrong side of my face, Kunikida,” he says, whispers, really. And Dazai sighs, tipping forward until his head rests on his shoulder and then snorts. And he grins, too, even though his face hurts. Because people like him should be laughing, always. His hand is shaking where it rests between his collarbones. ”Idiot,” Kunikida says, after a moment, and there’s something so unbearably sad about the way he says it. ”Let me see.” He lifts his hand and lets Kunikida inspect the bloody mess under his nose, and watches him wince in sympathy, but his thumb sweeps under his cheekbone, gentle. ”Jesus christ,” Kunikida breathes. Which, objectively, is hilarious, first of all, and second of all, ”Not quite,” Dazai smiles, then grimaces instantly. ”My face hurts.”

I've been watching something and oops- I have a new f/o. I'm working on art of us currently because I want that art to be my reveal of who it is.
I didn't really feel to much for him the first watch but then I watched it again because I just genuinely enjoyed the movies and then he showed up on screen and it felt like my heart skipped a beat and I whispered
"Oh..? Really?.."
I just thought 'hey maybe my heart is racing because the scene was intense!' but then it cut to him again and I felt my face grow warm and that same heart race/skip... If he's anywhere on screen even if he isn't the main focal point my eyes are always drawn to him and ...
oh gosh... ⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄
I already have a ship name too-
You pull me in; I don't resist. (<- mainly because with a lot of my f/o when I first discover my feelings I usually go into denial and I didn't do that this time. Hhhhh)
So be sure to blacklist it if:
A) you don't like vague posts about an f/o (like me so it's totally understandable that you blacklist!)
B) it turns out you self ship with him also and aren't comfortable with the idea of sharing (also like me lol)
Hence why I have a ship name ready to go so I don't unintentionally make anyone uncomfortable! 💜
His media is movies.

No proper closure between Bang and Garou. In Bang’s eyes Garou has only hunted heroes but I hope Bomb tells him that he saved his life as well. “I won’t let you throw your life away!” Oh please as if those a class weaklings could actually kill him.
Bang did the same mistake with Garou which he did earlier with Charanko. When Genos assaulted Charanko, the latter’s master did nothing. The A Class heroes ganged up on him and he again did…nothing? Maybe perhaps he internally knew that those heroes couldn’t really kill him even if they tried their hardest.
Hhhhh ;.; considering all the high-hopes I’d been anticipating for Bang to prove himself to his boy, for their long overdue heart-to-heart beyond fists, where Garou can finally be HEARD - to participate in the conversation and be understood for once, to make progress towards their reconciliation and for Bang to show him how much he actually cares in front of everyone (like Tareo), now this is just.....oh dear, tragically inadequate (or narratively cut short) to repair things or give their broken relationship proper closure. ;o; That honestly yes, I’m feeling rather disappointed in Bang for his inaction here...
See, because he basically stood there and watched Garou get beaten by the hero mob per their satisfaction even Metal Bat interjected to say something in disapproval without intervening (guh;;; once again, only affirming Garou's expectations vs what 'god' tried to bait him with Bang’s ‘soft’ behavior otherwise) And for Garou....he let the onslaught happen, fully tanking the punishment (and purposely goading them to deliver more under the ‘act’) while fully expecting the heroes to make the killing blow... Because, as Saitama, Bang, and Zombieman finally realized how odd that is...Garou was accepting the beating with a (suicidal/repentant) death-wish; ‘this guy doesn’t want to live anymore.’
Tumblr media
That it was only AFTER Tareo ran in to stop everyone, followed by KING who dispersed everyone's hostility, that Bang bothered to step forth.
And...that is all you have to say to him? (I mean, I’m glad Bang didn’t join in to fruitlessly beat on him too like the wc but) After everything, just a single line to YOUR BOY - practically your own son, even!
Tumblr media
[You know, I’m honestly feeling Garou’s expression here, weary of everyone coming in to judge or decide what to make of his life for him, and speaking over him about things he likely already knows] Because maybe Bang is speaking from a place of personal experience - as his reason for his wayward younger self choosing to be a reformed hero, but....(that would still be Bang projecting on Garou without hearing anything he has to say - Garou is still fully silent!! or understanding how he feels ;o;) So how distant and impersonal that line feels, cause honestly it could be said by anyone, from any mentor or authority figure after the fact (rather than Garou’s own surrogate parental figure.)
But it also rings particularly hollow...because ironically that’s what Future Garou already did. :’) He already gave up his life to undo all the harm and save everyone. So even subconsciously, this sentiment doesn’t really tell or inform Garou of anything new that he needs to hear. “I won’t let you” - ok but why though. Because you care for him as a ‘father’? (Make THAT part clear to him! So Garou doesn’t misunderstand!) Or because it’s only part of ‘duty’ and ‘justice’ decided by the current hero value system? Because I tell ya, Garou’s already been prepared to use/throw his life away to ‘save others’ like Tareo and change the world in his own way. :’) So honestly, Bang telling him this feels like it doesn’t tread any new ground, to challenge what Garou’s already come to know & expect, nor does it really resolve or change anything between them to fix their relationship. ;o; Ahhh, it’s been left tragically (purposely?) hanging and incomplete.

Hhhhh Jeff has been rotting holes in my brain for the past week so please Jeff hcs plsplspls
Jeff HC’s for the heart and the soul (gets angsty though)
Incredibly ancient. ‘Has watched the first few support beams rise from the void to form the Hotel’ kind of ancient.
Because of this, he would absolutely freak out if you brought a pineapple into the hotel. Because pineapples are status symbols for the wealthy in ancient times.
So incredibly lonely. El-Goblino is literally Jeff’s only friend. (Other then Hide! Who still visits but just in private.)
Despite being…a bit angry at Jeff it needs the presence of its dad sometimes. It still loves him.
Seek reluctantly lets Screech/Mystery entity see Jeff. It’s not like it can really stop it’s children from doing so. But don’t expect it to show up.
However Seek has yet to allow him near Snare as Figure is already really REALLY uncomfortable around Jeff.
So Jeff visits in secrecy or not at all.
Listen, Figure is really sweet and gentle but if it even smells Jeff in the library it immediately thinks of crucifixes and starts to trill louder and audibly growl.
In spite of their currently …strained… relationship. Jeff still deep down cherishes Seek, Hide and Eyes.
He often has dreams of a younger Seek and Hide playing in hotel corridors.
Or little Eyes singing and whistling while it ricochets around the garden pavilion.
Wakes up crying usually after that.
He often wonders if he did the right thing allowing the guiding light to supply him crucifixes to sell people. Especially given how it practically ruined his reputation and relationships among the hotel’s denizens.
Earned the trust and respect of Gobby though. Absolute best friend moment.
Would definitely stress eat if he could and probably does.
Has.. -CONSIDERED- more so entertained the idea of splitting a piece of himself off to asexually make a child. Would never go through with it though because A: He doesn’t know if he could bring himself to raise another child. B: It hurts. C: He doesn’t want his still living children to think he’s replaced them.
I cannot emphasize the considered enough. He wouldn’t do it now.

I’m having so many feelings about Little My right now.
Tumblr media
From the outside, she’s just another one of the Mymble’s many kids; the smallest member of a huge family, who’s never had her own space, shuffled from place to place and raised by an absent guardian who really doesn’t seem to care much about her at all. Of course she’s turned out loud and abrasive; she had to be, to make herself big and take up space and force people to pay attention, because otherwise she’d get lost in the shuffle.
And then she comes to Moominvalley, and meets Moomin and his parents, and she forms a real friendship and chooses to stay and ends up adopted. And sure, she’s still loud and abrasive and a troublemaker, but she’s a neglected child (her mum didn’t even realise she’d stayed behind) and for the first time she has a real family and friends in the bargain and it’s just really getting to me right now.
I haven’t seen the whole show yet (I don’t mind spoilers) or read the books (I know she’s not the same in those I don’t think she has this side of her), but do you think she ever worries about her place in the home? Do you think she’s afraid on some level, deep down, that they’ll want to get rid of her, just like how they wanted to get rid of the rest of her old family? Do you think she pushes the boundaries sometimes, just to make sure she’s really loved?
IDK, I just have a lot of feelings.

Asking about fixing S2 of Hilda! :D
(I watched it, but my brain is very much like a sponge, so there may or may not be some holes in my memories of it. But I'd love to hear your opinions on that!)
Okie, so, I've talked about my problems with Season 2 before, but I'm going to go over them in the most detail I can here, before I explain how I'd fix them. Sorry in advance, but this is going to be long.
My Problems:
Fundamentally, Hilda is still my favourite show, and more of my favourite episodes are in S2 than in S1, but there's one big thing that ruined the season for me, and that's what it did to the relationship between Hilda and Johanna. Season 2 wanted to have an arc where Hilda makes mistakes and needs to learn not to lie to her mum, but instead, in the narrative presented, Johanna is the one in the wrong to me.
It's absolutely a cycle. Hilda lying about her adventures makes Johanna worry, which makes her more protective, so Hilda needs to lie even more. But The Troll Circle establishes pretty plainly that this cycle started with Johanna; when Hilda runs outside the wall by accident, her immediate reaction is "Mum would kill me if she knew."
And the way Johanna acts when Hilda comes home proves that she's right; Johanna has become more restrictive and isn't letting Hilda do the things she used to. She wants Hilda to be safe, I accept, but this is after a whole season where Johanna repeatedly says that she loves Hilda for who she is, and explicitly includes her adventures in that (see The Bird Parade and The Troll Rock especially).
Because it is a part of who Hilda is; "such is the life of an adventurer" is her mantra, and even Season 2 itself establishes that she's been allowed to roam freely on her own in the wilderness since she was about 6 years old, the same wilderness that Johanna wants to keep her from in The Troll Circle.
Hilda's choices aren't "lie to her mum" or "be good", they're "lie to her mum" or "give up being who she is". Johanna's the one who changed, and it's not even properly acknowledged; they try and retcon the troll from S1, and just claim that things have always been this way between Hilda and Johanna when that's just not true (I'd argue The Troll Rock implied Johanna knew about it anyway).
The show does try and show Johanna's side, especially in The Fifty-Year Night, but that's one of the reasons it's my least favourite episode. I know she finds it hard, being so harsh on Hilda, but she doesn't have to; she should have been more understanding at the end of The Beast of Cauldron Island, it's her fault things got to that point, and nobody's forcing her to be more protective. She needs to realise she's being unfair and that she hasn't handled this well, and as a result it feels like the narrative is guilt-tripping Hilda for her mum's mistakes.
The Stone Forest hits into the same issues; I'm not going to deny that what Hilda says to her mum in that argument is genuinely hurtful, and that she shouldn't have said it, but she's an upset child. The resolution of that episode is that Hilda needs to stop hiding things, but the conflict was caused by Johanna being restrictive and honestly, more than a little selfish; I'm not trying to bash her, I know why she wants Hilda to stay home and spend time with her, but she should have let her go.
I'm glad that things seem to be back on track in The Mountain King, but when Hilda has to promise not to hide things at the end of The Stone Forest, it doesn't quite work as a resolution for me, because while I do genuinely appreciate Johanna telling Hilda she loves her for who she is, she doesn't promise to let Hilda be herself or make any apologies of her own. It's "you have to talk to me" not "you can talk to me", and for me that's the distinction that really ruined the season.
And all of this comes from one, single place:
Tumblr media
Everything I've just mentioned, including all three of Johanna's worst scenes (the dinner in The Troll Rock, Hilda's first grounding, and the argument over Dungeon Crops in The Stone Forest) and the resolution that I didn't think went far enough, are lifted directly (including a lot of dialogue - although some of it, especially in that final resolution, is said less kindly in the graphic novel) from the graphic novel Hilda and the Stone Forest. And this is the fundamental problem; Season 2 of the show has to adapt this story, which is a problem, because Season 1 of the show made substantial changes from the graphic novels, that honestly made me think that maybe there wasn't a way to do the Stone Forest arc well in the show.
In the graphic novels, Johanna is not a good parent. She's not as bad as the tie-in novels, where she genuinely reads as abusive in all but one, but she starts out as a generic "overprotective parent" stock archetype, and only really breaks out of that a couple of times (she's actually very good in Hilda and the Bird Parade, but in a completely different way from the show version of that plotline). Hilda in turn is a little more selfish and rebellious, so their whole dynamic is different.
And The Stone Forest, in both versions, has Johanna at her absolute worst. It's actually my least favourite graphic novel, specifically because of how awful Johanna gets in the beginning, which is basically just an extended falling-out combining all of her worst moments from Season 2 and making them even worse. And that's where the problem crept in, because in order for the Stone Forest arc to happen, Hilda has to try and sneak out via Nowhere Space, and Johanna has to try and stop her, and the whole thing needs to be precipitated by a mother-daughter falling out.
So the solution the show's crew took was to try making Johanna more like her comic counterpart, and to space the arguments that start The Stone Forest out across the whole season so it doesn't feel abrupt. But the two versions of Johanna are fundamentally different characters, and Comic Johanna is already a bad parent who's flaws aren't acknowledged in this arc, while in the show she's a realistically flawed but genuinely amazing parent and those flaws are addressed in Season 1.
And the result was just making Johanna almost as unsympathetic as her comic counterpart in Season 2. I don't even think that it really cured the abruptness, because it's still an awkward retcon in the first episode, and there are still episodes in S2 where Johanna is firing on all cylinders (The Deerfox and The Yule Lads - which actually handles a mother/daughter dispute caused by Hilda really well), so to me it feels less like a relationship that's having ups and downs, and more like a relationship that's fundamentally changed but only sometimes.
(There are other problems with adapting Hilda and the Stone Forest, namely David and Frida, but I think the show actually handled them well).
So, How Would I Have Done It?
I'm going to rule for this that we have to keep the fundamental plot of The Stone Forest; Hilda gets in trouble with her mum, gets caught when she tries to escape, and has to learn a lesson about being open after she and her mum get out of the Stone Forest. For a while, I genuinely wasn't sure how to make that work within the show in a way I'd be happy with, but in the end, thanks partially to the tie-in novels of all things, I do have a solution: we're actually going to build up the relationship shift, and it's going to have an acknowledged shared responsibility.
The Troll Rock happens almost as it does in canon, but there is no moment where Hilda thinks her mum will 'kill' her for going outside the wall. She still gets home late, and there's still a little awkwardness in the conversation, but Hilda gingerly admits the truth:
"Well, I was going to go to David's... but then I saw this elf getting kidnapped by a dirt clod with legs, and me and Twig kind-of had to go outside the wall to save him."
And Johanna just gives a patient sigh; there is a bit of tension in her voice, she's clearly not 100% happy with this, but she also accepts that this is her daughter:
"That was a good thing to do, sweetheart, but please be careful outside the wall. You know I worry about you."
From there the episode goes on as normal; barring one thing. I'm torn between cutting the "you never told me about that" exchange entirely, and changing the tone of it. In the latter version, instead of suspicion, Johanna is genuinely just surprised, and Hilda's response is something like "Wait, I didn't?", but either way, things go on normally from there; we've established that there's going to be friction between Hilda and her mum, without making things bad immediately.
The next big change is that The Eternal Warriors doesn't happen. It will, eventually, but I'm taking a leaf from the tie-in book Hilda and the White Woff, and saving it for later use. Every other episode gets shunted up by one space, but is otherwise unchanged until we hit The Beast of Cauldron Island, where I'm going to make a major change.
Instead of Hilda just lying, we're going to build on The Old Bells of Trolberg; when Hilda reaches the flat, she's reluctant to cancel their picnic, but she is prepared to explain things and possibly even ask for Johanna's help. But when she gets inside, Johanna is apologetic, and before Hilda can explain, she does:
"I'm really sorry, Hilda, but we can't have our picnic today after all."
"Why not?"

oh thanks :) this is gonna be fun~ (sorry I’m late!!) Thanks @flopsy-art​
favourite colour: purple!!!! kind of clear from the colour of my blog tbh lol
last song you listened to: UrbanAngel1999 by Thomas Headon (the one from heartstopper haha)
last movie you watched: UHHH not sure, haven’t been watching many of late... probably my rewatch of Into the Spiderverse?
last series you watched: Heartstopper (and it shows lol)
sweet, spicy or savoury: I tend to go for sweet (I definitely have a sweet tooth) but I love spicy and savoury just as much !!!
coffee or tea: tea all the way !!! I’m such a slut for tea I did my chemistry project in high school on the caffeine levels in tea (I also adore traditional chinese tea) tho I can drink iced coffee and the occasional caramel latte
three ships: gonna just go ahead and put the main shipping ones for now, otherwise I’ll be here all day (multi-shipper alert)
but uh, dinluke (but like. minus the toxicity y’all I’m in my own little dinluke AU bubble okay), codywan (tho I do ship obitine too, bi obi for the win), wangxian (the danmei pining got to me ok, plus I speak chinese I know exactly what those fuckers saying when they confess and so help me why is chinese such a romantic language y’all fr)
first ever ship: oh boy I’m going to be exposed here HHHHH
ok fine: Jack Frost/Elsa (yes the fucking animated characters okay) (I also now realize Elsa is a bit of a lesbian but case in point, I was like. 11, okay?)
OR Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase but idk which came first, probably Percabeth iirc (thank god)
currently working on: The Starlight Path (my dinluke prince Romeo and Juliet war AU set in the Clone Wars kinda) and possibly a Wangxian one shot who knows
favourite clothing item: uhh probably this purple pair of skirt/pant bottoms I got from Myanmar while I was there doing touristy things when the whole situation ... wasn’t as bad. but they’re flowy and fun and don’t really feel like pants when they are kinda pants? I wish I bought two tbh I only own one
comfort food: too many to count, my first ever one was Mac and cheese, and then it evolved into Laksa, and then it evolved into pineapple tarts and so like. idk currently would say all three
favourite time of year: not sure, autumn seems nice tho but this is coming from someone who had never rlly experienced Seasons until I moved out so still unsure (how do y’all do it like. you have to track the weather everyday, shit sucks y’all tf?)
favorite fic: oh boy I love so many, but this fic in particular has like. impacted my writing style and just my life in general it blew my mind and made me feel like there was so much you could really experiment with in terms of metaphor and pacing and style and like, muah
it’s Spock/Kirk and a Star Trek fic
I will warn y’all tho... TW: it gets pretty intense from around chapter 212 onwards. There are TW openings to chapters that are potentially triggering. Obviously as much as I love the fic it’s not without it’s faults and I’m more than happy to point it out if need be.
it’s: Observations by anon_j_anon on live journal and hoooo boy did I not do anything else but consume this fic for weeks y’all when I picked it up it’s 300 chapters of jaw dropping narration, like to the point that you can see Spock’s character growth from the writing style itself as it changes? just fucking delicious fr
passively tagging @ourpolestar, @merisscatteredbooknook​, @that1libra​ and anyone else who wants to join !

okay, leonardo 2x01 and 2x02
first of all, piero is the biggest mindfucking bastard ever, i don’t remember how bad uther was or if he was worse, but piero is pretty fucking bad (yeah i’m comparing to merlin because the shows are in the same era/age range (lol) and uther is a bastard and lorenzo and arthur are sorta dumbasses)
the final scene in 2x02 where piero explained why he did the things he did, i feel like that explanation could be better/more dark. like, he did it to turn lorenzo back to him, and so that leo would be indebted to him, and he did it because he’s a sadist and he totally got off on seeing leo beg lmao lbr 
(i don’t entirely feel like i’ve got a handle on leo’s character, not enough to write him)
btw OMG his dad showed up, i thought he was forever gonna be a myth lmao. i wonder if he’s gonna be a regular. but oof, harsh that his new girlfriend/fiancee still doesn’t know leo exists 
(as a side note, lately i’ve been obsessed with familial dynamics/relationships/dysfunctional families lol (hi anthonyyyy))
i totally get why leo didn’t let lorenzo back into the fold, although i think he should’ve, because this is just gonna drive the wedge between them further and lorenzo’s gonna side more and more with his dad
okay so i spent like ep 1 missing the original actor for piero, but then the content in ep 2 was like... i don’t think i could see the original actor pulling off some of that. this current piero is darker than s1 piero. i preferred watching s1 piero though because the actor for s2 piero reminds me of motherfucking bates ewwww haha
anyway so what’s the plan for s2? does piero keep fucking them over? honestly the playing field is a bit unfair, we have a rich 40-50 y/o man with a fucktonne of henchmen going up against 3 or 4 kids (they’re supposed to be 15 but lmao they/the actors are clearly not), of COURSE the rich bastard is gonna be like 5 steps ahead and win
i hope there are some lighter eps in this series. hhhhh yep
oh. i liked leo’s ... whatever it was he said after piero decided to save verrocchio (and him). something like ~excuse me if i don’t fall on my knees in gratitude; it had the same energy as ‘while she is an unusually capable woman, she’s not capable of fucking up this severely’ haha (btw the way anthony sits down with the duke in that ep!! so dramatic!!!)
okay, well... that’s all i’m watching for tonight. ep 3-4 (at least!) tomorrow, hehhh
