#dai vc why can't we be friends

[dnangelic]

i don't think daisuke even hates krad. i think the same way he feels that he doesn't properly understand or fully know dark, he likewise struggles to grasp even the first aspect of krad as well. the few times he's ever had an interaction with krad in canon, they've always been immensely antagonizing instances. physically painful and emotionally terrifying. satoshi, his friend, vanishes, and the wings take over. there's always a fight and so much unpleasant tension. krad endlessly obsesses, while satoshi painfully suffers over and over. a part of daisuke wishes he could reach out and try to somehow reason with dark's second half, but dark himself insists that it's naive and impossible. whatever line of thought krad's on, it's completely parallel. there's no way any of the hikari tamers would ever willingly give themselves up to their curse, nor would krad ever seek a thing like coexistence.

#every once in a while i think of th post hiatus chapters where daisuke gets mANHANDLED #and he looks so MISERABLEEE #and calls it scary. it sure is #dai vc why can't we be friends #dark vc the power of friendship isnt working here i think we need to use a gun #fear's legitimately his first response but the same way that satoshi would only dark mostly as a nuisance #as the niwa's curse #that's how daisuke is with krad too. he's aware there's so much to it + w satoshi the way it is with dark and himself #but he just has no idea #*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.

I feel so abandoned lately.. it's like I'm a little girl and today is my first day of school and I know no one once again. sigh

#vent in tags? #so aheem. yeah it happens that my friends and i always play together #but when one of us can't make it none of us play because we want to be together yknow #but it happens that today I wasn't going to be able to join. and one of my friends just went- #”oh nevermind. the two of us can join to advance and you can come another day when you're able” #and i just ? idk it kinda freaked me a bit because it's the first time they say that? #but well i agreed because idk. my first thought was that they were very excited to play or something. but it did make me feel a bit. uneasy? #and yeah i tell them that i may be able to join around 11 but they just. ignored my messages #and i waited for them to reply but the reply never came #and i still opened our disc server to see if they're there and yeah. they're talking. they were projecting something a while ago too #and idk it's not that deep but i do feel a bit bad. if it had been any of the other two we would've agreed not to play till another day #but the very first time this happens it had to be with me as the subject #I've always had a rooted social anxiety that i thought i had overcome in the past but i don't think i have #my thoughts are spinning and i feel bad and the recent friendship paranoia i got is not helping #if i was normal i would probably join the vc and ask them directly why they aren't answering my messages but I'm not brave enough #so i guess I'll play alone tonight and tomorrow we'll see #but i feel very sad and lonely right now #:( #vent #rant

piggybacking off @eleilinnrallin's idea, in no particular order and if I missed you it's probably because my brain is a sieve. I still love you. if you want me to ramble about why I love you just ask me

@eleilinnrallin I'm so glad you're in my life. Your perspective on so many things has helped to deepen my understanding of myself, others, and the different ways faith can manifest. I'm so glad I have the chance to know you. Keep on being yourself, my friend. <3

@graycedelfin I love knowing you. I love the passion with which you approach the things you do and talk about, your faith, and the way you express things that makes them uniquely you. You're so gentle and sweet. <3

@raspberryzingaaa I'm glad you're around. Your honesty is refreshing and helps making things clear in this muddled old head of mine. The way you won't hesitate to tell me off or simply say "BOOOOO" to an unhelpful thought helps so much. <3

@starsaroundsaturn I wish I talked to you more! You brighten my days, and your sweetness is reassuring and genuine. I sometimes can't believe a single human being can hold the amount of sheer love I see you hand out everywhere. Thanks for being my friend. <3

@sunshineandrosesnoraincamemyway You are overall one of the all-around nicest people I have the pleasure to know. I'm so so glad you're around. You're an inspiration to me and I hope we can meet up someday because I want to hug you so tight. I wish we could vc more often, because it's so nice to talk to you. <3

@stealingmyplaceinthesun My beloved. I love you. I love the way you've revolutionised my emoji use, phrase use and literally everything. We have a familect. Have we ever by choice ended a vc before it hits six hours? 😂 I dunno what I'd do without you. Hope we have plenty more time to spend together. We are not beating the allegations, and we will persist. 😤

@dirt-apple-productions I appreciate you a lot. I probably haven't said it enough. Also thanks for kinda saving my life back in October, and all that. I'm so glad you're around, and so glad I have the chance to spend time with you. I love your writing and, for want of a phrase that sounds less stalkerish, will observe your career with interest. xD Thanks for all the things. <3

@get-loved-nerd Get loved, nerd.

@ all of chrumblr: get loved, nerds.

#personal #gratitude #and there's gratitude all mixed up in here to COUNTLESS other people and mutuals and- #I LOVE Y'ALL #OH AND ALSO IN CASE I SCARE ANYONE NO THIS IS NOT A SUICIDE NOTE OR ANYTHING IT'S JUST GRATITUDE

[leslutdepointedulac]

*crashes through your door like big bird*

🗿 give us the rundown on how you got here! which was the first vc book you ever read? what made you decide to seek out vc fandom on tumblr?

Okay, buckle up ya'll because this is a decently long story.

So I would argue it actually started waaaayy back when I was a wee child, say about 6-7ish maybe. I would see the IWTV film on TV all the time and me being obsessed with vampires, I really wanted to watch it. Idk how I knew but somehow I had the knowledge that it was a very famous vampire story with queer characters and that it was supposed to be really good, so naturally I was like "I wanna watch that!" But my parents wouldn't let me because it's an 18 and I was a child (not that this stopped me fr begging them though lmao). This happened several times throughout my childhood and each time my parents would be like "No you're too young, you can watch it when you're older."

Skip to when I was around 15 I think, and I had this friend in school whose house I went to quite often. I was round for a sleepover one time and they told me there was this film with a banging soundtrack they wanted to show me. That film was QOTD. We watched it and I thought it was pretty decent (fyi I can't stand that film now, but the soundtrack still slaps. And Akasha! Aaliyah absolutely killed it!). When I went home the next day I told my parents what I had done at my friend's house, and that we had watched QOTD and they were like "Oh, the sequal to IWTV". Now bear in mind, I'd forgotten all about IWTV by this point and then it all came back to me and I was like "Omg no way!"

However, I still didn't watch IWTV and I forgot about it all over again. Until 2 years ago. I for the life of me cannot remember how or why I suddenly remembered it at the time, but I was chilling in bed and it came to me. So I found IWTV and watched it for the first time in my life (I was 19 at this point) and lemme tell you. It was worth waiting 19 years of my life. I loved it and thought how it was insane I'd only just now seen it, but better late than never.

Then I forgot about it again lmao. Until the 3rd November 2022. I remembered (again, idk how or why) that I had heard about an IWTV TV show so I found it and watched it and I thought "huh, that was pretty good. I like this!" And so I became obsessed.

Then I decided I wanted to read the books so in December of 2022 I bought IWTV, TVL and QOTD (it's all three in one book) and I started reading the series from the very beginning. I got even more obsessed and kept buying the series until I had them all and read through the whole thing.

In February on 2023 I joined tumblr for the VC fandom, because I had seen VCblr posts on Pinterest and thought it looked fun, so naturally I joined in.

And that more or less takes us up to now really lol. I'm still here and even more obsessed than ever. My obsession is primarily on the books since I read them. I kinda moved from the show to the books but I still have a deep appreciation for the show because that's what brought me here to the fandom in the first place. (And I still love the film too.)

I also recently, in the past couple of months, made friends with a group of people here in the fandom and I'm so glad to know them and be friends with them (including you, of course @hekateinhell 💖). I've been in many fandoms before this one, but this is the first one I've been so active in and the first one I've made friends in. I love ya'll, and I love talking to you all 🥰💕💕

Anyway, it's a long story as to how I got here 😅 It's like these vampires have always been in my life in one way or another.

Sorry this was such a ramble but yeah. There's practically my whole VC life story 😂

#thank you for the ask! #vampire chronicles #tvc #ask game #ask and you will be answered

LUNDInium Outskirts /but it's her insane doodles/ PART IV

Me: *Casually watching my operators work on ZT-7 farming* Me: *Looks away for a second* Lessing: "Du kannst rennen, aber ich werde weiter jagen." Me:

I forgot I set all the Leithanien characters to German the day before...

--- Me: *In the base* Poz: "Doctor, if you insist on spending time together, how about we talk about your favourite books?" Me: *Pushes everything off my desk to clear space* "You just need to ask!"

--- There is no doodle for this one, but since it's HorseUncleTM merch, I wanted to show it off because the last part didn't actually feature what I was shown and how insane it looks knowing she has her entire desk COVERED with them.

---

How is RI-13 not broke yet living in holes, who knows...? Perhaps the rumours are correct and Dr. Lundi really dealing secretly with firearms on the black market of Sargon. ---

The event of Dr. Lundi half-crying on the bus back home because she couldn't stream to us BUYING the SKIN will be a core memory created based on eternal friendship. I will never be happier to wake up than I am when I see an 'Eve, can I be soggy again?' before being bombarded with Mlynar details and ramblings regardless of what I say.

There's a lot to unpack but I can't possibly ever talk about Mlynar the same way Lundi does in VC. She pulls up receipts proof of her words as well every time she mentions something.

--- We also have a new Pinkie sticker! Wahoo team!!!

Based on this --- Based on this post about our Arknights Yumeship's kid being bullied, I had a little spiral and was just thinking about different scenarios. Out of all the answers given, Kryo's is most direct and... very in character towards his sarkaz/draco child.

Lundi's also leaning towards physical aggression, instant retaliation for their little baba horse.

And then I just... imploded... (This was on the basis of the parents trying to justify their child's behaviour)

While Pinkie is not too interested on the aspect of children we've been trying to involve them more in the Yumeship questions just because their relationship with Swire/Chen is SO wholesome but they're shy to actually indulge. It's alright, we will always be there for the sugarbaby ultramind that is our friend.

You can see this conversation was very important to me.

Which is why this ART IS SO CUTE IM CRYING I LOVE THEM

---

Vigorously searched for the video, but basically, me and the Team were watching Unusual Memes from this one channel and one of them was of a guy who walked up to his neighbour/friend's home camera and said 'Well, you DON'T get to decide when to party, I want you around now.' And well... if that isn't Lundi pulling Dr. Eve out of bed during some of her emotional episodes.

In reference to this, Dr. Pinkie was upset Lundi wasn't just breaking down my door because she usually does that without asking. So some edits were applied and a part 2 has been added:

We all loved everything about this. Thank you Pinkie for always being some of the best designers and always editing things in the funniest way possible.

Me: "It looks like I'm getting kidnapped." Lundi: "Child napper."

... ... ... I JUST NOTICED THIS GIF WAS CREATED??!?!?!?!?!?!?

I'M GETTING TURNED INTO SOURDOUGH HELP ME --- Pinkie stealing Dr. Lundi's food.

--- God forbid I ever sneeze in call

--- And as some of the final doodles there's for this part, allow me a little TW about bugs because I am absolutely terrified of this thing and I am afraid that its arms are longer than mine so I can't even come into reach to kill it.

It's not my fault people make shelves so high up.

#arknights #doctor of ri shenanigans #arknights event #doctor arknights #friendship #friendship banter #memes #arknights gacha #doodles by Lundi #I do not draw any of this #mlynar arknights #arknights pozemka #arknights yumeships #arknights executor #Dr. Lundi #Dr. Eve #Dr. Pinkie #Dr. Kryo

Maybe I should rest, take it easy y'know

Just kinda stop everything for a bit

I wish my brain could be turned off and on again

Would probably fix a lot

Wish I could convey how I am feeling. Or more like, why am I feeling a certain way. People say I can talk to them about it, but what do I say

I wish seeing people or certain things didn't make me upset, I was actively thinking the other day "I wish I didn't have to see notifications from this person but I don't want to block them because they are a friend, I wish there was like, a one sided block that just hides them from you but not you from them"

Who even thinks that about their friends

I can't even talk to them about it because what do I say, they have probably been through stuff already, I don't want to make their day bad by going "hey friend, I feel like garbage when I see you. I keep trying to get better but I feel like I am moving backwards and now I am starting to go quiet when you are around."

I am scared to talk to them, maybe another day, or time. Or maybe the feeling will just go away.

Someone yelled at me today, I am not mad at them, I think they just had a bad day. But it was something I am kinda vulnerable about. They said sorry but I still feel off.

I feel like I am slow with things. I type slow, I move slow, I react slow. I feel like I slow others down. I am scared to play games with others unless I know the game well because I feel like I am just gonna slow them down or get left behind. And that sucks

I feel like I am out of the loop with a lot of stuff my friends do. And I feel like I can never get back into the loop because I will just get out of loop again. I am always a step behind. I am excluded from the silly inside joke. I am not a part of the fun exclusive group that I couldn't join because I was sleeping. And when I try to act chill and ask for more info or playful beg to join the group. They either ignore it or say that I had to be there. Or they explain why the group was made and "oh if you join next time then we can add you"

And "next time" sucks. Because when is next time, I live on the other side of the planet from a lot of friends. And the ones I don't have timezone differences with are the ones with the strangest sleep schedules or they are busy, or our schedules just don't align. And it hurts when I go to bed and I see friends all playing games together. And I wake up the next morning and people are laughing over all the fun that was had, all the silly jokes I missed, all the chaos. And when I talk about how I am sad I missed it "next time" they say.

As if they aren't gonna do another VC at 10pm my time. As if maybe I could join their game and not be left behind because they move too fast. As if I could be a part of their little groups.

I feel lonely, I feel like I am left out. Once I go back to school I will have no time at all to hang out with friends. But oh don't worry, this weekend we could hang out except no, because everyone is busy. And the cycle repeats.

And when I finally get to hang out with friends and have fun. I feel happy for a while. I feel loved and appreciated. But then I get weighed down, by seeing friends talking about stuff that I can never be a part of, because that stuff already happened, but hey always next time.

I am tired. I wish I could see some of my friends. I wish I could know them better. I wish I could be there for all the next times. I wish I could be happy hearing my friends happily talk about this dumb bit for the fifth time and trying to explain it to me over and over again. I wish I didn't have to cover parts of group artworks because seeing a certain design makes me feel like I am dying.

I want a hug, I need a nap. I have spent an hour writing this dumb ramble that nobody is going to read. It feels a bit cathartic though. Maybe this is how to show my feelings, but it feels too mean and raw.

I think screaming this into the void of the internet is fine, maybe everyone is right, maybe I do need therapy.

This post was just meant to be the first 2 lines, how did it become this mess

Anyways look at this cool dog, isn't he neat

#vent #i am just going to curl up and cry now because that might help

a special spark [georgenotfound]

it was an ongoing joke that george had a massive crush on you. he would take you out on minecraft dates, or donate to your streams just to get a reaction from you.

nobody could tell if it was real, or if it was just an act for internet fame. well, nobody except dream and sapnap.

they knew george’s feelings were as real as real could get, and they would play a “wingman” figure as part of the so called joke. often times they would encourage him to just spit it all out, but george being george, it never really happened.

you never looked at george as more than a friend. yes, the joke was funny, but it was all you took it as. something scandalous to feed the fans. but you werent complaining, because at the end of the day, you earned viewers too.

i guess you could say it was like love of host, except one person thinks its love and the other thinks its host.

another part of this joke was that you never reciprocated these feelings. even on the streamed minecraft dates you would deny his flowers, reject every sappy pick up line he made.

something you didnt know, was that your funny bits affected george. it would break his heart piece by piece whether he liked it or not.

only dream caught on to the way his face would fall for a split second when your minecraft character walked away when he approached you, or how he would get quiet when he heard you and sapnap talking in the vc.

this never ending cycle repeated with no end, over and over again until one facetime. one special facetime that changed the way you started looking at george.

"hey george!" your voice rung through his phone, face soon popping up in full screen. george smiled, waving at the camera excitedly.

this was the first time you called him first.

you guys talked for hours, about the dumbest things that came to mind.

"If the ocean could be another color, what would it be?" you asked george, only to be instantly followed by a "shit youre colorblind im so sorry"

"you know y/n, we never stop clapping, the time between our claps just get longer."

"no clapping is supposed to be short so therefore you can't call that a clap."

"whatever, so what music do you listen to?"

"why do i feel like throwing up"

"wanna meet my cat soot?"

"no unless you change his name. what about goggles?"

the bickering went back and forth like this for a while until george became awfully quiet.

"george? you there?" you ask gently.

in response, you heard slow breathing, and shuffling here and there.

you smiled as you took a glimpse of the screen, where you found george sleeping, his hair messy and a blanket draped across his shoulders where his clothes were slightly wrinkled for remaining in the same spot for so long.

his cheeks were flushed, probably because they were in contact with his pillow. his lips were somewhat pouting, as his chest went up and down every so often.

you admired him for a second, taking a look at his facial features carefully. it felt so wrong yet so powerful to catch him in such a vulnerable state. something anyone else in the world would die to see.

little did george know, this moment caused a spark. a special spark that meant you finally started reciprocating his feelings.

dropping more tsukasa kanade lore guys >>>

i think that after kanade has the initial tsukasa jumpscare they start to get along well but like. kanade talks to think man because even though she goes to the same school as mizuki GUESS WHO NEVER FUCKING ATTENDS !!! and once she talks to tsukasa long enough she's introduced to rui and nene by being invited to ★★★ SUPER COOL EAT-LUNCH-ON-THE-ROOF TIME [kool kats only ★★] ★★★ and kanade sits down like "okay. these people seem calm. theyre probably normal. i think. i can do this :]" and then emu. climbs onto the roof. and kanade thinks "OHFUCKOHSHIT NEVERMIND NEVERMINDNEVERMIND"

so they eat lunch and kanade is introduced to tsukasa's not boyfriend, tsukasa's not girlfriend and tsukasa's not girlfriend. and they have a good time !!! kanade gets along well with nene, but also doesn't because i think the two of them are the equivalent of the "shy people vs introverts" meme. rui is fun but kanade cannot understand that man for the life of herself. and. emu. so ironically tsukasa is the one she gets along with most.

so they hang out and also i think that kanade has tsukasa look over her compositions and has probably gotten him to play an actual piano bit for one of nightcord's songs. idk which you just gotta trust me. and one day kanade comes to their daily meet up thing which happens in the park because silly and tsukasa isn't doing his usual thing. bc when she usually comes tsukasa is happy and smiling like :D :D :D and helping out little kids on the playground equipment but this time nobody's here and he's just. off. and kanade can feel The Vibes but she goes over anyways. and she sees him and he sees her and suddenly he's happy again but this time it's all wrong. and she leaves and goes back home and she thinks back and realizes how Wrong all their interactions had felt. but at the same time it didn't. and she's trying to make sense of all this and talks to nightcord about it because who else would she talk to ??? and general consensus is "make discord server with him" so that's what she does. yes this results in silly tsukasa uses discord for the first time shenanigans. and they all start talking !!! ofc she introduces mizuki as mizuki but mafuyu and ena are left as "my online friends enanan and yuki"

tsukasa ends up inviting rui nene and emu because WHO ELSE ??? and rui dms kanade like "okay i know why you did this but we. are getting nothing out of this. also is yuki mafuyu from the all girls school that emu goes to ???" also SIDE PLOT with emu not feeling creeped out around yuki like she is mafuyu. just wanted to mention. anyways rui is like "i know who you are" and kanade is like "help me help you help your bf (boy best friend)" and idk how but eventually tsukasa just. breaks down.

it's not even anything special he's just in a discord vc w everyone and they start talking about fun things they did as children and tsukasa realizes he can't even remember talking to his parents unless it was over the phone and he just. goes quiet !!! and that's not normal because tsukasa is never quiet so everyone is just a teeny weeny bit worried. and then they hear this man. CRYING ???

so of COURSIES they all meet up in the empty sekai bc we love sekai mashups !!! and idk from there tbh im just bein silly atp

#ran thoughts :thumbs up: #project sekai #pjsekai #wonderlands x showtime #rant #vocaloid #nene kusanagi #tsukasa tenma #emu otori #rui kamishiro #mafuyu asahina #kanade yoisaki #ena shinonome #mizuki akiyama

Enemies to Lovers with Tommy

CC!Tommy x Gn!Reader

Enemies to Lovers scenarios with Tommy, but you decide if you two ever become lovers or not

>Arguing all the Time

Neither of you are quite sure when your little enemies thing began, but it was still going strong. That meant that literally anytime you were in a VC together, it was just arguing.

Today he was doing a calmer stream, mining while chilling in an empty call. Obviously you existed to ruin his day, so you hopped in and started causing some chaos.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He had immediately groaned, giving his camera an annoyed look.

"Wow, I didn't realize you missed me so much!" You responded quickly. His retort is quick too, probably because you do this every day. "You're delusional."

The bantering continues for hours, tone changing from annoyance to more of a teasing one before settling into the familiar anger. It wasn't serious anger, but it was definitely more aggressive than teasing or annoyance.

"Oh my God- Just fuck off already!" He exclaims, throwing his hands into the air wildly. You laugh, shaking your head although he can't see it. "No thanks."

"Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you." "You wish. I have better standards though."

Even if there's someone else in the call, it still manages to become an argument. You've been banned from playing Among Us together for that exact reason.

"Wha- I'm telling you guys, it wasn't me!" Tommy exclaims, making you smirk. "No, no, he did it! I saw it!" "What the fuck?! I saw you hop into the vent!" The worst part about it all was that you both knew damn well neither of you were the imposters.

>Constantly talking about the other

It’s funny. For how much you “dislike” each other, you sure talk about each other A LOT.

Your friends literally know everything about him. He was active in discord? They know. He argued with you over Coke off-stream? They know.

And it’s the exact same for him. Wilbur actually thinks the whole enemy thing is hilarious, but he’s sick and tired of hearing Tommy talk about you.

”Wil, you won’t fucking believe this.” Tommy fumes, staring at Wilbur through his computer. Wilbur sighs, crossing his arms. “If it’s about-" “WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE ABOUT?!”

“I will literally pay you if you don’t talk about your stupid little rivalry today.” Wilbur begs. “It’s not a stupid little rivalry!”

Phil, as patient as he is, just mutes you guys if you ever start talking about each other with him.

”Oh, Phil, that reminds me, Tommy-“ you start, and he immediately reaches forward and mutes you. “Chat, trust me, this is better for all of us.”

You ruined your chances with a guy once because of how much you talked about Tommy which was embarrassing.

Tommy also turned down someone because of you, which he didn’t even mean to do. You just occupy his mind way too much.

”Are you doing anything tonight? Maybe we could catch a movie?” The person asks, and Tommy opens his mouth to accept. “Sorry, I’m doing something tonight.”

He didn’t have a stream planned, so he isn’t quite sure why he said that. Or at least he wasn’t until you streamed that night and he realized he turned the person down because he knew you’d be streaming.

>Secretly Loving to Spend Time Together

The first time Tommy asked you to be in his vlog, you very nearly said no. But after careful consideration, you realized how much fun it would be to fuck with him in real life.

From there he just kept inviting you to the vlogs and you kept coming, both using the excuse of good content.

Really though, he just liked spending time with you in person. Something about being able to see his jests land made it more fun than anything else.

On the other hand, you just kept telling yourself that you were only in it for the content. No fun involved. In fact, you hated him. Mhm. Definitely. Or at least you tried telling yourself that until a friend tried to get you to cancel on him.

"Come on, you'll have way more fun with me anyways. Aren't you always going on about how you hate him?" They laugh. "Well, yeah, but this was scheduled ages in advance." "So? Just tell him you're out. That'll be a good one, really fuck up his plans."

You were surprised to realize you hated the idea of canceling, and for more reasons than one. Firstly, it was a dick move. Even if you did hate him (which you weren't so sure about anymore...) it would ruin the entire vlog and throw off his entire schedule. Secondly, you wanted to film with him.

"No. I can't. Maybe another time."

Your friend just stared at you before a smile grew on their face. "And you still say you hate him."

Tommy goes through the same thing with Wilbur too.

"I can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!" He exclaimed, grinning wildly. "Thought you'd be dreading it because your mortal enemy is there." Wilbur responds with obvious sarcasm. "If anything, I'm more excited! It's gonna be epic!"

Wilbur pauses, looking at Tommy. "Are sure you guys are still enemies?"

>The Realization

Tommy realizes first, because Wilbur knew all along how it would end. Really though, Tommy kind of knows the second he sees you in person because he just can't keep his eyes off you that entire vlog.

"Tommy, come on. Still with the enemy thing?" Wilbur asks. "I thought-" "What? You thought what? Of course we're enemies! We hate each other!" Tommy laughs, but it's entirely fake. Because he isn't quite sure he really does hate you.

"Do you?" Wilbur presses, putting voice to his thoughts. "Or are you just scared of things changing?" Tommy sputters, trying and failing to protest. After a second he just falls silent, thinking about it. "I don't know." He finally says. "Well I do." Wilbur announces. "You do?" "Yeah! You two are so obviously helplessly in love, please for the love of God just fucking kiss!"

"...you think so?"

You don't have Wilbur to help you, so it takes a bit longer, but you end up figuring it out yourself when you catch yourself watching a stream. Not joining, or sending a rude chat message, just laughing at his jokes as a viewer.

From then on, you can't help but notice arguments taking a flirtier turn, which is only egged on by Wilbur.

That doesn't mean you two immediately talk about it though, it's literally the opposite. It's five months before either of you realize you're both hopelessly in love and just pretending to hate each other.

Now that's an awkward conversation...

[thelampisaflashlight]

I went out to see a relative's art show last night and then stayed up pretty late on a VC with my friends, especially for someone who got up at 5am, so I slept in a bit today...

...because I took off so I can rest up and stay out late again tonight for a concert I'm seeing with my friends lol

I did not, however, have the foresight to take off tomorrow, so it's gonna be an interesting morning at the shop on Friday, but as I often say, it is what it is.

My manager, Tree, forgot I had off today, so while we were in the car yesterday, he was really confused about why I wasn't going to be in, and I was like, "Because of the thing I've had marked on the calendar since, like, February?"

I don't blame him though, we were talking about an event we might be doing this weekend, and he was pretty hesitant about the idea -he was pretty quiet while we were talking, and when I asked his opinion he kind of walked around is answer, which I know means he wants to say "no" but can't think of a solid reason not to do the thing- so our heads were both elsewhere at the time.

I took the day off, aside from being able to rest, because the time I need to leave is not set in stone, and I want to have time to shower and change clothes before I go out.

Last time I worked the day of a concert, I had to hustle home and get a bunch of stuff done, and this way my co-worker -who I discussed this arrangement with, and wants the hours- can come in instead and then Tree isn't left by himself last minute on a delivery day either.

I generally like to plan things for after work, but while this time would have worked last year, we extended our hours and the new time wouldn't work... which is exactly why I took the day off, because even before we changed them, I was like, "If I don't take off, it's gonna come back to bite me."

I think most of the times I've either 1.) left work early or 2.) took the day off, were because I was either sick or someone else was, or we closed for the day because of the weather.

So yeah.

Here we be.

💖 What made you start writing? 🧠 Marius ! And/or Pandora.

💖 What made you start writing?

wow wow make me embarrass myself right out of the gate here lmao

honestly the answer is YOU, and @hekateinhell and @rainbowcarousels. like i inhaled all you guys's fic last fall and read your meta and stuff here on tumblr and it just looked like you were all having so much fun and being creative? and then i thought maybe if i tried writing and liked it, other people would talk to me about armand and i could make VC friends. and look at us now!!

and i've always been a maladaptive daydreamer, whenever i get a new blorbo i end up playing out scenes about them in my head so i thought maybe writing would be a good outlet for those thoughts. and then instead of being a weirdo who stares into space thinking about armand getting fucked dumb i would be ~plotting~ and my adhd symptom would become something productive lmao

i wish i had some deeper, more inspirational reason but 'i wanna make friends and put my weirdo thoughts to good use' is really all there is to it.

🧠 Marius ! And/or Pandora.

okay okay marius head canons, let's go:

cat guy. like cats were highly respected in ancient rome and as a guy who likes to own fine things, he would not have been down to have pests in the house. so he's always been the type to sit out food for local strays and have a favorite or two he lets wander his home. i like to imagine him giving some philosophical monologue to pandora about how vampires are similar to cats, they're both instinctual killers and pandora being like 'are you really trying to mansplain cats to me in order to justify to yourself how much you enjoy petting the stray that lives in your garden?'

i see him being a really thoughtful gift giver. he has such a hard time expressing remorse and admitting he did something wrong, so he became great at picking out presents to compensate. and besides he just has great taste. definitely the guy everyone in auvergne wants to pull their name the year lestat insists on playing the mortal game of 'secret santa'.

i feel like it would be easy to assume he hates modern art because he's such a classicist. and maybe he did at first, he didn't get the purpose of painting with such a seeming 'lack' of technique until he stood in front of a rothko himself. and with his vampire vision he saw all the subtle variations in red that covered the canvas and he got it, he was deeply moved.

definitely went all in on architecture during the egpytian revival period and had home with a facade that replicated an ancient temple. (this didn't make akasha give him any special attention. not that he would admit to hoping for that or anything, he was just keeping up with the times, obviously)

he and daniel briefly terrorized a pub trivia night by sweeping every category every time they showed up until the owner gently requested they not come back since other patrons were tired of losing. he can't help that he's well read and his companion has a great wealth of knowledge on pop culture, okay?? mortals these days are such sore losers.

some guys are into shoes, some are into watches, we know from canon that he loves gloves and so he absolutely has a pair of bespoke leather gloves in every color for every occasion. driving gloves, white lambskin gloves for formal events, fur lined gloves for winter, he has multiple drawers in his closet for his collection. no i don't need smut with him doing obscene things to someone while wearing these gloves for kinktober why do you ask

i could go on but THERE YOU GO, i hope my niche and useless thoughts about him were entertaining at least 🥰

What do you normally do when I'm gone?

Wait for you to come back

I hate thinking in black and white. I hate being borderline, this is fucking awful! Why is it when there's no one around who I know will actively take part and engage in what I like my body literally shuts down and tries to fall back asleep. I hate how if a person isn't interested in what I like and enjoy or doesn't actively participate in it then my brain doesn't want to be friends with them. But the problem is I detestably need friends to interact with. My partners cannot be there 24/7 and it should never fall onto them for me feeling empty when they're gone. All because my interest is in horror so it's super fucking hard to find people who enjoy horror and not total dicks. Yesterday I bought Shipwrecked64 and since loosing Jade and 2D that's the most fun and happiest I've been in a long time. All because Wally and Chii actively engaged in the game with me. And now sitting here next day my body is trying to fall back asleep because Chii and Wally aren't there. God I need friends who will get onto calls with me and watch or play silly video games with. I need friends who I can hop into vc with and laugh at videos with. I need friends who will actively engage with stuff with me because I think in fucking borderlines and if the friend can't/don't do this then I don't actively be around them I don't miss Jade and 2D. I miss the things we would do together

[loveephia]

m'answering this because i'm bored. if my moots wanna do this, go on ahead :D!!

1) taller or shorter

it doesn't really matter that much to me.

2) talkative or quiet

being talkative makes it easier for me to go with the conversation.

3) opposite or same sex

4) short or long hair

both. at first, i found short hair really cute on him, then i saw a picture of my crush with longer hair (it was able to reach his own shoulders and was tie-able. in addition to that, he was wearing glasses! (* >_<)), so he turned out to look really cute, which is why i can't pick.

5) western or asian

because he's asian too, LOL.

6) bad or cute

7) sports or music

MMMUSIC. to be frank, i was never big on guys who were into sports. especially basketball players. no offense, though. 😭😭

8) hot or nerd

nerd all the way >>>

9) older or younger

doesn't matter.

10) go out or stay in

both works! i know that he likes staying in more, even though i'm quite the opposite. i don't really mind doing this or that, as long as i'm with him. AAAAAA-- (´つω＜｡)

11) movies or karaoke

really, i'd just use this as an excuse to hear his singing voice. it's actually very deep and mellow.

12) looks or personality

i could never really get over how adorkable he was in the 7th grade. there's a video of him dancing to this minecraft parody, and while all my friends cringed, what i did was laugh and kick my feet in giddiness.

13) wears glasses or not

WEARS GLASSES ,, HANDS DOWN. he never wore them to school back in the 7th grade (before i switched schools), so i just assumed he had 20/20 vision. later on, i saw a picture of him in the 9th grade, AND HE WAS WEARING THEM. I LITERALLY COULDN'T GET OVER HOW CUTE HE WAS IN THAT PHOTO.

14) shy or outgoing

he's actually quite outgoing (which i find really cool since he's an introvert), but not to the point where he'd walk up to a stranger and ask them about their day.

15) early bird or night owl

we used to vc until it was late at night. too bad he always had a curfew, so he couldn't go past the 2AM mark. otherwise, i would've stayed up to listen to him talk a while more even though i, myself, have a curfew (can't be awake past 12AM, but stays up anyway).

16) introvert or extrovert

y'know, for him to he an introvert is so hard to believe because he gets so chatty in a vc with like eleven other people. i'm an extrovert, but even i can't handle that.

17) text or call

i'm telling you-- we vced more times than he sent me text messages. 😭

18) flirt or be flirted

neither! i don't like flirting, nor do i see him doing it.

19) hug or kiss

m'too young to be kissing. one on the cheek may be plausible, but any more than that, and i might just explode. 🫡

20) polite or funny

21) drink or nope

i don't really know if they mean alcohol, but since i can see myself NEVER getting into all that, i wouldn't want him to start drinking either (which i doubt will happen anyway).

22) cold or romantic

romantic. and not in a rose-in-mouth, smirky, grand hollywood kind of way because that freaks me out.

23) ex or someone new

i've never dated in my life. :D

24) s/o loves you or you love them

how about loving eachother an equal amount?

#it feels weird to talk about my crush on here #broororor i like him lots (*；д；) #JENFKWJDOWND JUST RE-READ EVERYTHING AND REALIZED HOW STUPID THIS ALL SOUNDS #i like him more than kita shinsuke #what is HAPPENING #this isn't me #chz #it totally is #he's so cute #js realised that my ideal type is based all around him #HDSHWKSHJSHDKSH NO WAY #<3

[codecicle]

whats your problem dude why are you so weird :3

im love posting now to fuck with you.

you thought this was gonna be a sneak attack but it isn't dumbass‼️ everyone point and laugh

i love you man and I mean that I love staying up texting you and altering my whole entire sleep schedule to fit yours i love getting random shit sent to me during the day and seeing your texts or asks in my notifs i love seeing your music taste and everything that comes with it i love hearing about your day and making inside jokes and bits between us that permanently change my vocabulary (ZIPPEE ^_^ sillay :3 and that dreaded Keyboard) I love being the only person who can understand what you've typed because you can't spell for shit but I also love being able to tell when you've gotten used to the keyboard your using because difficult words aren't misspelt like they normally are I love calling you in vc until your phone shuts off and playing baby sensory subway surfers videos with slimecicle gifs so you and your friends pay attention to my "very important" (no it's NOT LMAOOOO) tetris/papa's freezeria/minecraft gameplay that I always have screensharing in the background of the call. I love our shitty little minecraft world and our suicide hole (and stripper pole that Kai doesnt know about please keep it that way or we will never hear the end of it) and your inability to stay alive and our little back to back like a movie fighting and I love that one time I watched a mlp movie (which I have to do again. Btw) for you because you watched Be More Chill for me and we both ending up loving them both and I love our matching phone stickers we have that are torn to shreads and dirty as hell now but they USED to read "#1 ashton swagaythor fan" + "BOYF" with mine matching to read "#1 felix elliot 'is' fruity fan" + "REINDS" and I love how you use all of my pronouns even the unconventional ones (IT/ITS MY FAVORITE FOREVER AND EVERRR MAN) ((not really)) and how you explained how to use certain neopronouns to me without judging me at all and your little d20 rolls in the mornings to decide on what pronouns you're going to use for the day (today was he/they/she btw ^_^) and I love all of your dnd characters and/or ocs that you've shown me and explained the lore of (the dnd one that uses he/she is my favorite btw. the others are neat and all but he's my favorite by a long shot the others can't even touch her dude) and i love your amazing sense of fashion and outfit checks you'll send that just get better each time you do and I love your hair and your glasses (even though I felt VERY betrayed to find out they weren't circular irl how could you slash sillay) and every little detail on how you look and act and im so serious. i love your love of gillion titstrider and seeing you talk about jrwi AND HOW YOU STILLL HAVENT CAUGHT UP YET BUT THATS FINE SMH SMH and seeing you ramble about the play you're currently doing in our texts rn dear god those are lyrics and i love them

anyway point is i love you so much and i hope you have a wonderful rest of your night after reading this o/

#i make yet anothet post just for me 👍 #we have mail :] #my love felix <3 <3 #i have a FEWWWW more things to say but I'm keeping those a secret for later smile #sorry for the random attack bye bye now

[licncourt]

As far as engagement with your fics dwindling, I think it’s mainly a result of the ao3 tag naturally being flooded with show verse content and book writers disappearing. There’s also the increasing rhetoric among popular show writers/bloggers that continued art and fic for book Louis and Armand is inherently racist so my guess is no one wants to out themselves as someone who enjoys book fic for fear of being shunned. Which is disappointing but with a large fandom that is mainly centered around a popular show, not surprising (not that there wasn’t gatekeeping preshow but the fandom was significantly smaller). I think most fans of the show think with these new (and improved) incarnations of the characters, there’s no need for their book counterparts. And the belief that people who do still enjoy book Louis and Armand are ignorant and fundamentally don’t understand the vc characters. It sucks because it would’ve been sweet if it could all be enjoyed for the multiverse it’s become since there are fans (like myself) who enjoy both the books and the show but there does seem to be an unspoken rule that you shouldn’t still be interested in producing content for the books. However, I’ve always been a huge fan of your works (and meta/thoughts!!) and the quality of your writing and grasp on the characters is still just as compelling as ever so I selfishly hope you continue writing 🫶 I promise I’ll make an effort to drop comments! lol

Well first of all thank you!! I just want to reiterate that the point of my original post was never to fish for comments or anything, I was just curious about why the engagement was happening on here suddenly vs ao3, but I always appreciate comments, kudos, reblogs, etc, it makes me so happy to know people like my writing because I really love doing it. I have plenty more stuff planned just because I love writing fic and I love the characters, so no worries there!

That also makes a lot of sense actually as far as people wanting to send me anons instead of comment. That's a crazy take though, like the books are forty years old you can't expect them to suddenly not have fans because of a new adaptation...? And I think it's a wild take to say that the original books/fans of them don't understand the characters?? Tumblr discourse is on another level always.

Liking the show better is absolutely fine, everyone can have their own preferences in media, but I don't believe for one second that the show is "less problematic" than the books. They just found a different way to be insensitive and offensive 😭 I think Anne Rice IP is just destined to be a morally bankrupt trainwreck and we all have to accept that. No one has moral high ground here really. And in a way it really feels like people coming into OUR house and saying we suck and aren't welcome.

This might be a selfish way of looking at it too, but I didn't get called literal slurs for months because I was defending the show and diverse casting for people to act like I have a problem with black Louis or brown Armand. Myself and friends of mine were harassed (including racially and sexually) for speaking positively about the casting decisions from day one, before most of these people knew the show or IWTV existed. My issues with it only started after episode 5 and that will always be my reason for jumping ship on the show.

I really wish things could have been different too, I was hoping the show would bring new people into the fold and just generally expand the VC multiverse like the movie did except with a new take on the story, but of course everything has to degenerate into a slap fight on the internet.

**There are absolutely people who don't like the show because they're racist shitheads and that is absolutely not a valid opinion to have btw. Just a blog reminder that I will absolutely never support or tolerate racism surrounding the show/the casting/the actors. It could have been a really great thing, unfortunately I just deeply disagree with how it was handled.**

#sorry that was more of a rant than i intended #but it's been festering for a while because of the things people have said to/about me over the months #as well as the takes on book fans in general #answered

Butter Butter Butter Butter

I got two separate asks about this within the span of five minutes so to the anon who also asked for this, enjoy. Also, this was sent in several days ago but I got really busy and also lost motivation almost instantly. We're gonna make this a short blurb instead of my usual full-length fic descriptions so I can get through more of these asks!

For those of you who don't know the Butter Lore, I originally started shipping Buttons and Elmer because their ship name is kinda funny and I am very easily amused. Then Cam and I were left unsupervised in a VC and managed to come up with "Crunchy Butter", which is when you have both Crutchie/Finch and Buttons/Elmer in the same fic (or I guess if you wanted to you could ship all four of them with each other, I dunno you do you babe) and I found that absolutely hilarious for literally no reason.

And yeah, I love taking an off-handed joke and taking it way too far so I started working out an actual fic for Buttons and Elmer. I have no idea when it'll be able to be posted but enjoy for now:

The backstory I have is that since Elmer and Buttons are both canonically Not Orphans, I think it would be really cute if they live kind of close to each other and so they walk home together every day. They don't usually run into each other in the mornings and they rarely sell together, but they always meet up at the end of the day to walk home. 

For the actual Plot, we see in King of New York that Elmer has some kind of head injury whereas Buttons only has a small bandage on his cheek. So we’re gonna say that Elmer got pretty banged up during the fight and some of the older newsies were worried about him walking all the way home in his condition and had him stay at the lodging house that night. Meaning Buttons had to walk home alone that day and feels real sad about it

So yeah then I think it’s gonna be about Buttons reflecting on the strike and how much it’s costing them to keep fighting. And then he starts thinking about Elmer and being all worried and such but also wondering why it’s bothering him SO MUCH that Elmer isn't with him that day. Like, he knew Elmer was one of his best friends but he really really misses him and it feels like he misses him more than he should be missing a friend. It’s not that he doesn’t like walking alone, he’s walked these streets alone a thousand times, he just doesn’t like walking alone when he should be with Elmer and he can't put his finger on the exact reason why.

And then the next day everyone meets up at Jacobi’s and Elmer and Buttons are gay about it the end

I currently have about 1000 words of this fic and it’s nowhere near done I think I’ve done the “making something fifty times longer than anyone asked for or wanted it to be” thing again but y’all can just deal with it I guess

#thank you my child i adore the butter fic with all my heart #my pride and joy #milk and ilk #butter #buttons newsies #elmer newsies #elmer kasprzak #newsies #newsies live #newsies headcannons #saf writes #thank you thank you for the ask
