Today's @wolfstarmicrofic prompt is suitor!

(773 words.)

Sirius stares at his own reflection in the mirror, wishing, for once, that he could switch his emotions off like the rest of his family. He doesn't really want to look at himself in his dress robes. It just reminds him of what he's about to do, the life laid out in front of him, which he really doesn't want to think about. Every time he remembers the suitor at the end of the aisle, the marriage his parents have decided he needs, their desperation to 'fix him', he feels nauseous.

That thought just sends him down a rabbit hole, the ghost of a memory of amber eyes, a slightly crooked smile, and an embrace that felt like home being all he has left. Well, that and the knowledge that the only man he's ever loved probably hates him. Sometimes he wonders what his life could have been if he'd just... run. Gotten away from the hellish life that the Black family have left him with.

"Sirius." Regulus' voice drags him out of his thoughts, turning to face his little brother.

"Oh. Hi." He doesn't mean for his voice to sound so... hollow, so dejected. Still, he does his best to offer Regulus a smile. "How come you're not in your seat? We're starting soon. Mum'll flip her shit."

He expected Regulus to roll his eyes, maybe smile slightly if he's in a decent mood, but his expression doesn't falter. There's a slight furrow in his brow, the only sign that he's concerned.

"Sirius, you can't do this," He says slowly, stepping inside the small room and shutting the door behind him. The words stun Sirius, freezing him for a moment.

"What? Reggie, what d'you mean-"

"You're not getting married today. You shouldn't," He insists, which does nothing but confuse Sirius.

"Reg, I don't really think I have a choice, here. Where's this coming from?"

"...I ran into Remus." The admission sends Sirius' heart into overdrive, a wave of dizziness hitting him. It's like someone has stolen the breath from his lungs, memories attacking him from every angle.

"What?" The word comes out slightly breathless, shock overwhelming him.

"He asked about you. He loves you, Sirius, it was obvious."

"But I- I abandoned-"

"No, you didn't, and he knows you didn't. He was just happy to hear that you were alive. Sirius, you can't keep living like this. We both know it."

Realistically, Sirius knows this. He knows that he won't be able to take it much longer in his family, but he's been able to shove it to the back of his mind. He made it his goal to distract his family from Regulus, and it's been enough to keep him going.

Hearing his little brother telling him he's making a mistake makes everything feel much more real.

"Reg, what are you saying?" He asks carefully.

"I'm saying you need to leave. Today. Now, if you can." Just as Sirius opens his mouth to ask where the fuck he would go, Regulus stops him. "Here," He pulls a scrap of parchment out of the pocket of his dress robes, surging forward and shoving it into Sirius' hand. "James and Remus' addresses are both on here, I got them off Remus. He should know you're coming. You need to go."

"Reggie, I can't-"

"Yes, you can! You have to!" His tone leaves minimal room for argument, but Regulus isn't even going to let him try. "I know why you've stayed as long as you have, and you're a bloody idiot for it. I'll be okay, Sirius."

"Then you can leave with me," He says desperately, reaching out to grasp his brother's hand. Regulus just shakes his head.

"I can't. One of us needs to stay here, and it sure to fuck isn't going to be you. Just... go and find Remus, okay? Please."

Sirius meets his brother's eyes, startled to find that his face is softened, almost pleading with Sirius. He's giving Sirius a way out. One that he's not going to find again, and he's not taking no for an answer.

Remus' face comes full force back to the front of his mind. Vaguely, he wonders if he looks the same. If he's gotten any new scars, if he would still look at Sirius in that same way that made him weak at the knees, that he conjures when he can't sleep, when he needs comfort.

"Go, Sirius. You deserve to be happy," Regulus' voice urges him. It's the one that cracks his resolve. The desperation in his brother's voice is breaking him.

He needs to go.

Remus is waiting for him.

A "summary" of Homestuck Act 5: Act 2

by someone who is starting to miss when it was just about getting the SBURB beta from your dad

We can no longer start nice and simple. This is the beefiest act of Homestuck thus far, so it would practically be impossible to summarise it into a singular Tumblr post.

So here are a list of highlights/things that stuck out to me!

This act is mainly about the trolls and humans working together ('working' is a very loose term) in order to stop Jack Noir (who fused with Jade's dog Bec to become Bec Noir, a ultrapowered freak). Karkat has his first interaction with John from his perspective where he screeches insults at him, to which John responds "oh yoooo karkat! what's happenin dawg?"

Speaking of John, he (and I think Rose, not completely sure) manages to reach god tier, the highest tier in the game! Woo-hoo!

Dave isn't so lucky however, as his doomed self is killed by his Alpha Timeline self (do not question this. carry on)

Rose goes "grimdark" with some help from a certain Doc Scratch, who also tells her about summoning his master Lord English, and exactly what the Scratch is, which is a mechanism that can replace an unwinnable session with a new, winnable one.

Vriska kills Tavros (who then comes back, doesn't revive her and therefore making her ascend to godtier), Sollux and Eridan duel with a sick animation (where Sollux gets knocked out and lo2e2 hi2 annoyinng li22p), Gamzee goes haywire from an Insane Clown Posse video, and then Kanaya chainsaws Eridan. Truly the best of friends.

I cannot talk about Cascade because that is another can of worms that I wish not to get into. I think the Scratch happens.

Homestuck is a very unique piece of media. You can experience it fully, but it is impossible to talk about at length. That being said, I am very interested to see what happens in the next act. Hopefully something good.

Hopefully.

Can someone please recommend me some fantasy books that have 0 romance and sex? Bonus points if the found family trope is involved. I’m a poor soul who just wants to read stories without being attacked by stupid romantic drama and graphic smut :(

i think we need to talk abt the sonic movie book more because it's so similar but different from the movie?? like Tails is more sassy, but it also expands upon her feelings more since we get an inside look on her thoughts. Also Sonic??? BRO ☹️☹️ LEMME PULL UP A QUOTE: okay so after he richoes a missle at knuckles, that he dodges and it hits the statue therefore destroying it, it says. "A thousand years of history gone. And it was all his fault." I DON'T KNOW WHY I TOTALLY SLIPPED MY BRAIN THAT OF COURSE HE'D FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THAT IT WAS PROOF OF LONGCLAWS EXISTENCE AND CULTURE.

Also, more on Tails (i haven't really gotten to Knuckles' part yet) lemme show u guys some shit that permanently broke me,,

Literally i cannot shut up enough about how sad Tails Pov chapters make me

#miles tails prower #miles tails wachowski #sonic the hedgehog #tails the fox #sonic movie 2 #sonic #sonic wachowski #these boys are so traumatized oh my god #sonic fandom stop barely acknowledging movie tails' trauma #please #for the sake of my sanity #also Sonics loner thing is so much more expanded upon #(i think i havent watched the movie in a minute) #but JESUS #he constantly thinks about how he needs to do shit alone #so that no one gets hurt because of him #like I know that but SHIT ITS SO SAD READING IT

More demon!Starhawk sketches. He's a lot meaner than most of his alternate selves (shattered glass will always be the worst version) but he's not the meanest demon. A bit snarky at best, but see's killing as natural as breathing, which is typical for any demon. Hawk is a mid-class demon of the hunter variety, frequently hunting and feeding off of low-class demons. Kinda helps out with their out-of-control population, but not by much. The eye on his chest remains closed when he's not hunting.

Hawk is fascinated by humans, spending pretty much all of his time amongst them disguised as them, taking on the human name Rodreguez Hawk. He needs to be careful about getting attached to any humans though, as demons can 'infect' humans with demonic energy if they get too emotionally close.

Doesn't stop him from imagining what Rodimus might look like with wings and horns though...
