#fic: a certain type

[wellthatjusthappend]

i love your story: a certain type™️

the cliffhanger with midnighter makes me feral lol i love the thought of him and apollo lowkey propositioning him while dick is wrapped in gauze and crawling out of the medbay to glare at them

Thank you!

That's 100% what happens. Jason getting shamelessly doted on- and he gets all sweetly flustered and defensive, it has Dick nearly tearing his hair out- and Dick getting teased at every opportunity. Dick has a lot more difficulty justifying why he hates the thought of this match up, but he really really does.

#replies #fic: a certain type #dick is 100% a hypocrite here #might be even funnier if they've had dick before

plsssss can we talk about bucky getting his revenge and edging gale

gale edging john post | yes we cannnnn !! eta: ykw. i need to just turn this into a proper oneshot since this ended up being over 1k words. new wip created </3

john may be a man of little self control, but after that incident, he decides he can be at least a tiny bit patient so he can catch gale off guard with it when he gets his revenge. because the next few times they're fooling around, gale's expecting a retaliation, john can see it in the way he tenses up and glances at his face before he comes like he's waiting for it, but john never follows through with it. he wants gale to let his guard down, and that he does.

so a week or so later when john's kissing him and feeling him up and asks ever so sweetly if he can tie gale's wrists behind his back, gale doesn't think anything of it. john likes to take control occasionally and gale sometimes likes the feeling of not having to worry about making decisions, getting to let john call the shots, and john always puts extra time and effort into the way he touches gale when he's restrained because he likes to watch his darling blondie squirm.

john has him sit in his lap facing him, letting gale lean against his shoulder to take the pressure off his legs while john works him open on his fingers, already riled up from the pretty gasps gale's making against his neck but reigning himself in because he's gonna need to have some self control for once.

he sweet–talks gale through it, telling him how good he sounds, how well he's doing as he sinks down on his cock, guiding him with hands on his hips so he doesn't unbalance himself without the use of his own hands where they're tied behind his back with a belt. he stays still at first, letting gale ride him slowly, keeping his hands loosely on his waist while praising him and talking him into that foggy needy headspace until gale's thighs are trembling and john takes pity on him (and frankly is so hard he doesn't have the patience to keep his own hips still anymore).

so he runs his hands down from gale's waist to his ass to hold him in place while he rolls his hips up into him, watching the way gale's eyebrows pinch and his pretty lips fall open in a silent oh as john angles himself in a way gale couldn't with his own movements. lets his mouth run as he slowly picks up his pace, all the coos of "so pretty", "you're taking me so well", "you feel so fucking good", loving how reactive gale is to every word and every thrust.

he moves his hands to gale's hips to get a better grip, can tell gale's getting close because he gets noisier, losing his filter and letting out breathy little "fuck"s and "john"s, head rolling back on his shoulders to bare his neck, rocking his hips down to meet john every time he fucks up into him. and then just as he gets the warning of "close", he pulls gale down by his hips to bury himself deep in him and stops moving completely.

the whine of desperation that tears out of gale's throat when he lifts his head has john knocking his skull back against the wall, cock twitching hard enough inside gale that he's sure the blond can feel it. he watches gale's biceps flex when he instinctively tries to get his hands free, feels his hips try to squirm out of his hands to keep moving, but he keeps him pinned firmly down, dizzy at the way he clenches down around him.

a plaintive "john" pulls a groan from him, but he composes himself, lifts his gaze back up to gale's face and lets the corners of his lips quirk up, purrs out a "yeah, sweetheart? something wrong?"

laughs at the way gale cusses him out, a rare sight of his little spitfire with a mouth on him, though the effect is a lot closer to being hissed at by a kitty than actually being convinced to move. john lets him run his mouth, murmurs a "cute" once gale's done, and then promptly hammers his hips up into him just once, swearing under his breath at the way it punches an open–mouthed moan from gale. rocks his hips up into him a few times before going back to a quick and rough pace, the sound of skin on skin getting both of them flushed.

it only takes a minute before gale's hips are twitching into his hands and whispered pleas are falling from his mouth and john thinks he's never had to use as much self restraint in his life as he does when he forces himself to stop moving again, once again yanking gale down against him, holding him still in his lap.

gale really fights it this time, enough so that it's a merciful distraction for john from how close he himself is (trust his idea to backfire as he ends up edging himself along with gale, he thinks) when he has to use proper strength to keep him in place. any blood that might've still been lurking around his brain rushes south the moment he sees gale's eyes getting shiny with frustration, cheeks all pink and lips red and flushed from biting down on them.

"not so fun, is it?" john taunts, but his voice comes out a bit more raspy than he would've liked, evident how much the stop and start is getting to him too. it's probably karma, because he knows he's being more mean than gale was to him, but he can't help it; those blue eyes look so pretty when tears are threatening to spill over when he's desperate and needy like this.

gale wriggles in his lap the best he can, still furiously chasing his orgasm, head finally falling back in frustration before he lifts it again, looking john in the eyes, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth and letting it go. he whines quietly and whimpers out the sweetest "please, johnny," almost crying in his impatience, and fuck.

john doesn't mean for his hips to twitch up at that, but they do, hard. gale sobs out a broken sound at the way john's cock hits just where he needs it to in his accidental movement, and gale spills over his stomach completely untouched, just like that. john swears and drives his hips up into him in an attempt to quickly amend his slip up, moaning loud at the wrecked noises that immediately start bubbling up out of gale as he fucks him through his orgasm.

he tips over the edge himself from the desperate sounds the blond starts to make as he crosses the line into overstimulation, feeling gale's hips jerk frantically in his hands, fighting to get away from the incessant rhythm of his cock inside him as john shudders through his own orgasm, fingers digging into gale's sides.

he slows down to a gentle grind of his hips when gale collapses against his chest, face pressed to his neck, shivering at the slow drag inside him and whining pitifully when john eventually pulls out, settling him down on his thighs while he reaches around to undo the belt and free his hands. his heart bursts at the way gale instantly wraps his arms around him, clinging to him as they both catch their breath, john petting his hair and showering him with praise.

he eventually huffs out a laugh, murmuring a "sorry buck. payback's a bitch, but that was an accident, i swear." gale groans against him in complaint, lightly nipping at his shoulder in retaliation, too tired to fight back, but john's sure he'll pay for it eventually.

it's confirmed with the "better watch your back, darling" that he gets when they're both pulling their clothes back on, but to john, that sounds less like a threat and more like a good time, and he shoots gale a crooked grin to let him know as much.

#bruh this was 1.3k i did not mean to get into so much detail #the keep reading button has never been more necessary #i wish i could crank out long drabbles like this for all the asks #but they take sooo long for me to write i am NOT a fast writer lol hence why i post a fic like once a month #but sometimes certain asks just itch my brain some type of way and then boom i've thrown up onto a tumblr post #anyway dacryphilia my beloved <3 #in any other scenario john hates to see gale cry. but i think in bed he would have an affinity for making him feel so good that he cries #have i thought about this extensively? perhaps. #i just think that pretty boys with pretty eyes and pink lips deserve to cry during sex sometimes. as a treat #johnslittlespoon asks #johnslittlespoon brainrot #johnslittlespoon spicy #buck x bucky #buckbucky

[lucabyte]

i am looking at nohats au 👀 please share more

So! NoHats! I'm going to grab you and use this to ramble. A Lot.

The NoHats AU is @samhainian's it's just that I'm the strange little freak who takes the words said unto me and executes on them. But I can still do a little explainer on what our overall thoughts and vibes are. (And, that we are in fact propping up a little box with some cheese under it here. 🪤 Please (PLEASE) feel free to pick up what we're putting down.)

We're far from the only ones exploring a "what if siffrin fucking died" AU, though the main difference with NoHats is the placement of the death in the timeline. Instead of being 'Mal Du Pays Wins' or 'Act 6 encounter goes horribly wrong', the death is… Just after the (literal) falling action.

(This placement is because Sam is a comic book fan who thus has become used to characters being ripped away at the cruelest times by shitty writers. THANK FUCKING GOD adrienne is not that and isat is delightful yippieee, but, back on topic.)

Giving the party the full understanding of What Happened that you get by putting the death after black hole siffrin, but before the A6 encounter leaves an interesting gap to be filled. See, making Siffrin's death very much not Loop's fault means that… this once again reads (when not read as simply a tragedy...) as the universe doing what it sees fit to fulfull Loop's wish… Thus making Siffrin's death Loop's fault again, but only in their eyes. And only in a way they could express if they were honest about who they were…

And this is where having had excuse to waffle about my general Postcanon Loop thoughts the other day comes in handy, because Sam and I have that as our canon-compliant reading to begin with, NoHats plays off of a lot of the same readings of Loop's character. Namely: Uh Oh Somebody's Lying By Fucking Omission Again. (BECAUSE TO BE FAIR THIS TIME… HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU HANDLE THAT?)

Now, neither Sam nor I are fanfic writers, so this has been a little bit trapped in our heads and DMs (and my unfinished art but,)

But our thoughts on how NoHats like… Goes.

Siffrin's death is peaceful, but that does not mean the aftermath of it is. I can't imagine the party takes it well, especially after understanding the circumstances of the Loops. (And, of note, in A5 where nobody had the discussion on what to do with each other's bodies should something happen…) But I'd imagine it traumabonds them somewhat (understatement of the century) and now knowing how the rest of the party feels, they resolve to travel together for the forseeable future.

The party track down Loop to deliver the terrible news, since they were clearly Siffrin's friend too, and invite Loop along to travel at least long enough to (let them grieve) get the burial over with. Loop, here, can be helpful in knowing what Siffrin would've wanted where the party would be at a loss. Loop, I think, takes a bit of a lead on the funerary aspects of it all, because, um. (Performing rites on your own body, huh?)

Then, as things are after a death, life just… Kind of has to continue on as normal. The party travel, pick up Nille, and get to know Loop as this mysterious new person. Maybe in this situation they might stay in Bambouche for a while to give Bonnie more stability since. They are probably taking it the worst. It would've come out of absolutely nowhere for everyone in the party obviously but god, for a kid? For A Kid?

It should be stated NoHats is not intended to be grimdark, just y'know. An exploration of grief. This is also why it's got a bit of a lopsided focus on Bonnie vs the rest of the party because hhrrhghghhghghhhghhghhh <- incoherent

Now, a crossroads.

How does the party discover Loop to be Siffrin? How long does it take. How much have the party embraced them as part of the family (especially with something as intense to bond over as this)?

There's the Odile option. Have her put it together and have to bring it up somehow. This could also be done by Isabeau, perhaps. He's smart. (which. God. If anything's the real Isabeau Torment Nexus it's this)

Then there's the other option batted around by Sam and I. The: The Universe Dislikes Duplicates option.

The items in the house that fzzt away when inspected. The Universe doesn't like there to be two of something, at least not when they're acknowledged. But one of something is just fine…?

Which is to say. I'm not a personal proponent of 'Loop getting their body back'. EXCEPT …… except this one time.

There's only one Siffrin now, so they don't need to be obfuscated to exist.

Consider, if you will. Loop swallowing their guilt for long enough to be comfortable. Falling back into old habits. Without another Siffrin around to compete for the niche of, they actually begin to act like Siffrin again. Not intentionally, it's just… The party is as welcoming as they've always been. And the party swears they keep catching glimpses of a face under all the light.

Then, one day, while still not fully human again, the resemblence becomes undeniable. Loop having not even noticed until everyone looks at them like they've seen a ghost.

Has it been months? How long have they kept up this lie? Is it even a lie, to them? They're Loop. But they were, once, Siffrin.

Even after explaining it, does that make it better or worse?

Bonnie cuts through the betrayed, struck-nerve reactions with a sobering "I missed you."

… Anyway !

Yeah so that's the vibe for NoHats. As for LoopLoops? That's more nebulous. I think it can go anywhere really in the NoHats timeline. I err personally toward the "Loop continuously replays the last 10 minutes before Siffrin's death almost immediately after they find out and have to parkour their ass up the House in the most distressing situation possible to try and get them to hold on, just please hold on." (Remember! Siffrin can remember the contents of Loop's loop backs in the A6 fight!)

But there is the possibility that this happens months, or worse years down the road. One last Loop back. Throw it all away for the chance to just get that one thing you didn't know you even wanted but now know you NEED.

Misc:

Okay miscellaneous time.

This is where I admit that I have a bunch of unfinished NoHats art that I haven't gotten around to yet because I feel like a right tool being so obviously Loop-Centric with my fancontent (I AM . . I REALISE I AM NOT DOING MUCH TO BEAT THE ALLEGATIONS.) So like if people want to see that please say because euaghghghhfh <- the nervous.

this is like the most fucked up place to do isaloop fr. anyway.

one of Sam's mid-game observations that I'm just going to share for no particular reason is that Bonnie's hair shares a bunch of shapes with Siffrin's. The flick up at the top, the 3 pronged shape of the fringe… just something to think about.

Without 2 Siffrins around to compare each other to it'd likely be a lot harder to notice Loop's similarities. Doesn't mean that those similarities don't sting more in this context though.

If you do NoHats without LoopLoops. The concept of this all fading into memory years down the line while they just have slightly-glowy but otherwise regular Siffrin hanging out is fucked up to think about. Just like real grief. Augh

6. a peek into the original dms as a treat from us

#LONG POST....! #be free our ideas. go forth into the wild. and by that i mean neither of us are fic writers so please HUNT US FOR SPORT #isat spoilers #looploops au #nohats au #isat au #isat loop #isat act 6 spoilers #not giving it more tags than that since feels rude to tag the rest of the party lol #lucabytetalks #but yes! to be extra clear: nohats is a 'please play in the space' invitation. because neither of us are big fanwork people! um! #it feels a little bit neglectful of us to not make more stuff for this AU ourselves but... we aren't practiced at that kind of thing. so. #open invitation! we know we won't make anything MASSIVE with this so.. don't hold your breath. and feel free to take the reigns. #we aren't like. the arbiters of 'sif fuckin dies' aus in general obviously but if you want to play with our specific ideas please do! #think of this post like prompts if you want to. go nuts #and @ a certain someone who said in the tags theyd maybe write something inspired. kisses you so sweetly. thank u for even considering it #also hi kaun i was thinking about your little snippet when typing 'act 6 encounter goes horribly wrong' 👋

I don't know about y'all, but I sometimes prefer bad writing.

Now, I absolutely love poetic writing that hits your emotions and is so well written that you question your position in the world or perspectives you've previously had. That's great.

At the same time, fics with grammar errors and bad flow can be fun to read. It's like a bumpy ride, and the energy I spend consuming the material is different. I've read tons of amazing fics that misspell their words or have run-on sentences. I'm just thankful they posted the fic for free

#currently reading a fic with confusing time skips but that is part of what makes it interesting #writing doesn't need to be “good” to be enjoyed #I'll take spelling errors and plotholes with an interesting concept over a well-written but boring one #idc how the fic looks as long as the concept is cool #therefore it doesnt matter how bad you think your fic is. someone will enjoy it #sometimes well written prose takes a certain type of energy i dont have

people who like tim drake whump WANT what yanqing has.

#reminds me of this very specific type of tim angst that would be in certain fics like #“i may live in your house & you may have adopted me but you didn’t really want me!!! im not really your kid bc i forced this upon you!!!” #which is hilariously close to exactly what yanqing’s got wrong with him right down to the child soldier thing #tim drake to yanqing liker pipeline when #like the whole i may live in ur house & u may be raising me but i’m not ur kid & i have angst w that thing is yanqing’s actually #hsr #yanqing #thoughts

Lily Evans never quite feels like a lily.

[Petunia&Lily growing up - Microfic/fic excerpt - 362 words]

-------------------------

Lily Evans never quite feels like a lily.

Lilies are the flowers that guests sometimes bring to her mother’s dinner parties, stiff stems already cut and pre-arranged in the crinkly wrapper. Her mother slots them into a vase in the middle of their dining table and they linger for a week or two, their white petals never getting to unfurl in the sun or to sway in the wind.

Lily broke that vase once, while trying to make Tuney play the new version of catch that the Blythe boys had taught her. The lilies spilled all over the dining table, the water that soaked into the tablecloth smelling a little like a creek in high summer. Tuney scolded her right away for being careless. Later, their mother got back from the shops and scolded Tuney for the mess.

By the end of the week there is a new vase on the dining table, and by the end of the month it is again filled with lilies, pale and elegant and still like a wax sculpture.

-------------------------

Petunia Evans never quite feels like a petunia.

Petunias are the flowers that tumble down the windowsills of half the neighbourhood, their streaked and striped and spotted trumpets a confetti of every colour available in the newest gardening catalogues. In spring, she helps her mother carry trays of them from the market, little bundles of leaves that seem to know nothing of the tireless display that would soon be expected of them.

It was a thrill guessing which of the plug plants would produce the most outrageous colours, until Mrs Blythe mentioned that she finds petunias quite naff. Petunia wasn’t sure then what that meant, but next spring her mother comes back from the market with fuchsias and begonias instead. Petunia had never wanted to vie for the windowsill spot but now she retreats further, to the back bench in school and to the quiet obedience at the dinner table.

She tries to warn Lily, Lily who is still loud and bright and who plays with boys in the creek, but Lily never listens to her. And, as years pass by, Mrs Blythe never mentions that lilies are naff at all.

#this is the opening of that Lily & Petunia shortfic I want to finish someday #the Evans family is so interesting to have perfectly themed names for their children #not unlike a certain other hp family known for messed up sibling relationships #just saying #also I have many Thoughts about the role class dynamics played a role in Petunia's life and worldview #esp as the Dursleys are written like a somewhat resentful Fuck You to a particular type of a British midle class family #harry potter #marauders #marauders era #lily evans #lily potter #lily evans potter #petunia evans #petunia dursley #marauders microfic #harry potter microfic #marauders hc #marauders headcanon #nogenrealldrama fics

I love everyone tagging their dreamling fics with ooc/ out of character because let’s be honest, every fic that has Morpheus in the same room as a healthy relationship is out of character, that man cannot maintain a relationship to save his life

#every time he opens his mouth in a dreamling fic is our of character #he’d rather die than be in a healthy relationship #because healthy relationships take effort and humility and communication and he has NONE of that #he’s sent people to hell for rejecting him #what makes you think he’d actually be able to manage a relationship with someone as stubborn as Hob?? #he literally doesn’t believe in love: ‘love belongs to desire and desire is always cruel’ #and with his track record?? I don’t blame him lmao #even if he IS the problem #but I think that’s what makes it fun #he can have a little non-canon compliant character growth as a treat #it makes my little ‘everything has to be canon compliant and historically accurate’ heart really anxious though #it’s an uncomfy feeling to type out certain dialogue lines and know that it wpuld never actually come out of his mouth #but I’m getting over it #do it for the fic #dream of the endless #morpheus #sandman netflix #the sandman #dreamling

[fruitybashir]

Haven’t stopped thinking all week about Kris’s intentions for what he wants to do to Bojan when he gets him home. Will that part feature in the next chapter (*giggle)?

aaa im afraid ill have to disappoint on that part :D this chapter is very much pure fucking fluff and self growth and realisations etc <3

#buuuuut i cant deny that i desperately want to write a full scene to that sooo. as mentioned in the chapter notes: #later on there will probably be a couple short uploads as extras to the fic like scenes i wanted to include but couldnt find the right place #to fit them in or stuff that just wouldnt progress the story at all but was just in my head etc #aaaand also certain smut scenes :3 #like there is another uhm .... :) important smut scene coming up very soon lol but theres a bit of other stuff that i just dont want to #squeeze into the fic in places where i feel like it wouldnt add very much? so for aaaaallll of that stuff there will be a sort of #uhhhhhh. well. i got distracted before typing this next tag and forgot what i was gonna say. anyways. there will be some shorter uploads #after this fic sjfkjckr including smut. #there we go #inbox #anon #chapter spoilers

10 and 31 for the fanfic author asks?

10. What makes a fic 'successful' in your opinion? - ideally, enjoying what you write, feeling good about it, writing for yourself. for me also, the characters I am depicting being well characterized/represented as well. people enjoying it is obv the goal with sharing it, but i try not to make that the Main Thing about a fic. it is great to see a fic be enjoyed and commented on etc., but even if a fic were to "do well" but I hated the fic, I wouldn't consider that a success imo

31. Do you listen to music while writing? - no, i write in complete silence

send me fanfic author asks <3

#10 was hard to answer bc i am someone that struggles with what they create and feeling like ''it did well'' if that makes sense #working on it though bc its unhealthy lol #i do know certain types of fics do better than others at least in my experience so the ''numbers'' on a fic vary #people liking what i write is a great motivator but if i focus too much on that then i wouldn't be creating as much as I do #bc i would get very stuck on and tied up on 'xyz type wont do as well as abc type so i won't write it' even though i really want to write i #if that makes any sense lol #long answer and lots of rambles sorry #niannianyabao #the curious clown

[goosin-around]

i absolutely hate hate HATE when someone is talking about reginas marrige or its mentioned in a fic that happens to say she was 17 when leopold proposed, and then I go to the comments and people are like, 🤓um actually she was 18.🤓 that does not make it any better my boy hop off.

#regina mills #once upon a time #leopold white #cora mills #snow white #ouat #and sometimes it seems like a genuine correction #which is obviously fine #but its the certain type of comment that gets angry that its diverging from canon #but then its like a swanqueen fic #bro the entire story is not canon #it just is strange to me that its that small factor that people feel the need to comment on #saying at least its legal #doesnt make it humane #it was still wrong and forced

[aussie-roadkill]

thinking about... generation loss again...

“infinite generations, infinite stories” I cannot wait for it, I cannot wait to see how different gen2 is, I cannot wait to see a different universe entirely, I cannot wait

scribbled a little diagram on my whiteboard because i don’t know how else to get across my theory of what The Founder is

I think it’s reaching between realms, between realities, Ranboo loves the infinite alternate universes theory there is no way “infinite generations” isn’t a reference to this

I feel like Showfall Media was a disguise, a puppet, a medium for which this group or entity could work through, rather than the villain itself. Likewise I think Generation 2, and the generations after it, will have different groups as the villains, whether those be prominent and obvious powers like a company or government, or they be a small local cult or simply mysterious tapes.

One thing we know for sure is The Founder is something timeless, I think it’s looking for patrons across the universes, for individuals to do something with. There’s some ability there to manipulate time, and to bestow that to others. Hetch was given the job to look for someone, while he’s a showman, a script writer, he was still answering for someone higher up. He seemed set on keeping his Hero, to cycle through actors until he got bored of them, and maybe that’s all he thought it was, maybe he though when he found someone worthy he got to keep them, I just for some reason don’t see Showfall and this searching for actors being a major component of Generation Loss as a whole, I think it’s something different.

#genloss #generation loss #ranboo #ranboolive #genloss theory #generation loss theory #I do love the speculation #I do love the theory #I'm 100% certain it's a multiverse type thing #I can't explain it #I can't really justify it #but I'm just sure of it #an in that #I think the way it started #is perfect #I think the fanart #I think the false narrative people made #what they thought genloss was #what they expected it to be #all the art and theories and AUs and fics #I think in a sense they're real #it's infinite #infinite generations #infinite stories #and that includes the ones we made up

i do think the entire tog cast could pull off a poirot movie and i will be emailing my good friend kenneth about it

#neon has thoughts #perhaps not all in the same movie but kiki layne ESPECIALLY. #of course this is partially related to my campaign for blue train 2026. etc #i realised as i was typing this. that it DOES track to a certain fic i am writing. oops #ill get back to it someday promise

art vs artist for the year!

despite all the ups and downs i've had with my art this year i've never felt so proud looking at it all. and this doesn't even begin to cover how much i've written this year, and all the other stuff i haven't shown on here - most notably painting two tiny foxes, putting together cosplays, making a plushie from scratch, and slowly chipping away at a very extensive mgs fansite i hope to finally launch in the next year.

so thanks for being here and for being patient with me while my brain pulls me in every direction at once, here's to a year of more art, weirder art, better art, and most importantly: more skull face.

#i'm extremely behind schedule re: those skull face tober fics as you can tell. we get there when we get there type beat #also i am getting back into a certain series involving Stars going to War so. watch out! #anyway mwah mwah love you skull face being tied up is my favourite thing i drew this year #casualtyart

Recently went out to catch up on a certain very well written work I'm currently categorising 'furry fantasy portal isekai military fiction', and damn it's as good as I remembered.

#It's called 'retreat hell' and it's posted across a series of posts on the HFY reddit #Good stuff if you're into the genre with a twist #The magical warfare they've got is quite enjoyable for me #Though that might be down to it being relatively 'grounded' in letting me #Draw easy parallels with irl historical warfare #Not as 'adventurous' as a certain mutuals world... #I mean you Caxy if you see this #None of this is a dig against you BTW I live your stuff #And this fic is an entirely different 'type' of work anyhow
