WALL
Baizhu, Kaeya, Kazuha, Chongyun, Capitano, Translate or reblog is alright, but only if you remember, that I may ask you to delete if I would not alright with your blog. Thank you. The place I live most of all.
Tumblr media
✦ Baizhu
The soft touch on your cheek was offset by a rough press against the cold wall. It was a curious feeling, a strange one - seeing him so aroused was rare, so you didn't mind savouring it. He whispers in your ear, "You're as beautiful as the day I met you," a frank and soft confession that bared its soul in a breath. You run your hand down his back, reaching under his shirt and feeling the hot skin. It's gentle. Pleasant. "And you're also stubborn - I want to sleep," you scoff. Baizhu doesn't let go.
✦ Kaeya
Keia ran his fingertips along your thighs, slowly stepping on you. You didn't even know why you were pivoting - maybe he was too close, maybe he was too insistent, but you jammed your back into the wall, and it was only then that Kaeya's froze. "I love it when a mouse has nowhere to run," he hummed, kissing your neck passionately. There was something subtle about that kiss, hard to understand, and one could only wonder what Keia meant: lust, pleasure, recognition, or… sadness?
✦ Kazuha
You pulled the young man towards you yourself, not calculating the distance and pressing your back against the wall. Kazuha, oddly enough, liked it. He smiled, examined his immobilised victim, then hummed and kissed his forehead: "Not afraid?" - he asked affectionately. "Of what?" - You're perplexed. "Of not being able to leave. I don't want you to be… well… afraid of me." A smile. He's a very neat boy, even in such a ridiculous situation thinking about being safe.
✦ Chongyun
He gave in to the heat, ardently and freely - kissing you until you felt sick, stepping on you and touching you until your mind was overcome with fleeting embarrassment, but the heat rushing to your cheeks was just begging to come out. Chongyun greedily pressed you into the wall, resting his hands on either side of your shoulders, and lowered his lips to your neck, to your collarbones, sometimes sucking and licking his lips greedily. It seems that if he started to speak, only one confession would come out of his lips: "I want you."
✦ Venti
"Well how funny you are," you casually fell down, stumbling and banging your head ridiculously against the wall. Venti put up a hand, seeing that you were ready to cry, and smiled. No, that won't do. - Turn around and face the wall. Come on. Good girl! Now…" he brushed your hair away with a light, slow touch of his hand to make it more comfortable to kiss your neck vertebrae, "now relax. You're in good hands - God's hands."
✦ Capitano
He touched you where you didn't seem to think to touch yourself - exploring your body, hovering over you or raising you to his level, examining it without removing the heavy mask. You were nervous, being too embarrassed - the Capitano did it all on his own, on a regular basis attacking like this, sometimes being that selfish, most striking creature, focused only on your sensations. It gave… a sense of pleasure and love.

whats your opinion on caleb and evelyn (at least from what very little we know of them-)
imo the whole caleb clawthorne thing is like. one of the most pointless things in the show ever
I have called them and their connection to Belos "TOH's final trick". TOH has a single trick up its sleeve that is great for fanfic writers and TERRIBLE for a narrative. They introduce really compelling relationships and ideas and then they never do anything with them. It happens with Amity and Luz, Amity and Willow, the Hexide Squad and the Coven System, Hunter and Belos, etc. etc. All of these concepts present tantalizing issues that one could really delve in deep to and find a lot of meaning... But TOH isn't interested. It is more interested in a blog about how deep Amity's character is implied to be rather than doing anything with that depth, hence why so many people hooked onto how awful the confrontation with her parents would eventually be and then the show itself just... Has her in like three minutes of that episode and her confrontation doesn't feel like the main point of it even if it's the climax. And then it's effectively over and any issue between Lumity is never brought up again.
Caleb and Evelyn are the same but with a bit of FNAF storytelling thrown in. The pictures are vague after all so people can interpret them in different ways for what they mean. The cast has been coy as to the actual events. It's a multiple choice backstory for your villain that ranges from irredeemable monster to sympathetic villain. That way the show can claim to have a complex villain that doesn't technically invalidate the fact that they have no interest in writing a complex villain, nor do they want to need to.
But it was also one straw too many. Lumity getting together paid off in some way that old narrative baggage of Amity's, even if less powerfully than it could have. Hunter being possessed and fighting off Belos doesn't have the weight it should and I have problems with how selfish the reasoning is rather than ideological but it is a payoff to that relationship. However, a genuinely real amount of time is spent in S3, and S2, building up that Belos is something more than a genocidal, egotistical asshole. Caleb and Evelyn are a LOT of this. So what's the payoff?
There is none. Beating him isn't an ideological victory. They don't come up like Lief did for beating Andrias to pay that off. In fact, they come up less in the final fight than they do during the fight in King's Tide where the heroes LOSE. So they spent some of the very limited time they had to wrap up their story on a subplot about Belos' backstory that doesn't actually inform us of anything, doesn't affect anything and has no payoff except the most obvious one.
It's literally Willow's story except for your PRIMARY ANTAGONIST'S BACKSTORY.
The fact that the majority of the meat of it is done in a really just AWFULLY animated set piece who's literal writing is boilerplate at best does not help it at all. The best parts of this mechanically are the portraits in Hollow Mind and they're vague and that's IT. Otherwise, it's clunky for the most part. I'll give the moment when monster Belos sees Caleb as he tries to take on a new form is neat but it tells us nothing and feels out of character in the end that he'd give enough of a shit to be haunted by his brother, especially after he's killed his brother so many times. Honestly, the Golden Guards looking like Caleb even NOW just makes me think the Collector is right: He likes hurting his brother. Why else would he not finally stop after the hundredth betrayal? Unless he gets off on the moment of their betrayal I guess.
It's just not good and a casual fan is going to like it even less because they won't really absorb and think the portraits so to them, it's just one really awkward sequence in the first special, an eerie sequence that doesn't add to anything in the second and then is sir not appearing in the third. That's not engaging.
Since little of it is engaging, it fails to function as a trick. After all, any magician will tell you that everything is about misdirection in their craft. Without it, a trick becomes nothing but smoke and mirrors instead of magic.
======+++++======
Btw, mentioned FNAF so may as well say here: Saw it and really liked it. I keep considering making a blog about it and then just... not.
I have a public Discord for any and all who want to join!
I also have an Amazon page for all of my original works in various forms of character focused romances from cute, teenage romance to erotica series of my past. I have an Ao3 for my fanfiction projects as well if that catches your fancy instead. If you want to hang out with me, I stream from time to time and love to chat with chat.
A Twitter you can follow too
And a Kofi if you like what I do and want to help out with the fact that disability doesn’t pay much.

❦~ hello! ~❦
if you don’t mind, would you be accepting of writing about Idia Shroud and Floyd Leech(separately, or you may just choose one if you’d prefer not to do both! i’m not picky!) with a female s/o who’s in Pomefiore? she’s very clean and thinks highly of herself, but is also very kind and is a soft dom who’s slightly scared of sex…she wont admit it though until the last second! i’d just like to see how the shy shut-in and sinuster eel would react to someone like that!
❀- so sorry if that was too specific or too strange- you may do whatever you’d like for this! -❀
~Thank you for your request!
Tumblr media
Pomefiore Softy
MINORS/BLANK BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT
Idia Shroud + Floyd Leech x fem!reader (all separate)
Tw: afab reader, NSFW mentions, I think that's it?
Wordcount: 433 + 370
Side Note: Don't apologize! It's def not strange and honestly I prefer more specific requests! It's easier to write them. I apologize if this isn't good I was struggling a lot with writing but I hope this is at least okay!
Tumblr media
~Idia Shroud~
Tumblr media
Idia's not surprised that you're from Pomefiore. The way you hold your head up high and with how neat and tidy you are, easily give it away. However, he is surprised that someone from Pomefiore fell in love with him of all people.
Idia would typically distance himself from someone from Pomefiore. Believing them to be like Vil, extroverted and simply incapable of understanding a gamer like him.
Though for some reason you gained an interest in this introverted gamer. He considered you quite annoying at first, comparing you to Cater.
It was only when Ortho became friends with you that Idia started to care about you in any way. Hearing Ortho talk about how nice you were piqued Idia's interest.
Soon enough, that simple interest would grow as you and Idia hung out together more. Whether it be playing board games or simply texting each other online, Idia grew more fond of you.
And then, with a growing adoration for you and a few helpful nudges from Ortho, you two became a couple. While he was still terribly awkward, he was glad to have you around.
When it comes to getting intimate with you, Idia is as eager as he is terrified. He gets so overwhelmed by his own thoughts he believes that if he does try to get you in his bed, he'll end up doing something super embarrassing and then he'll be cursed to think about how badly he fumbled before he goes to sleep every night.
So, you'll more than likely be the one to make the first move.
When you tell him that you are a soft dom, he is nothing short of relieved. With you being the one in control, it saves him from the stress and anxiety of somehow fucking up and embarrassing himself. He really doesn't mind, especially if it's the first couple of times you two have sex.
Honestly, he really likes that you're soft. He loves the praise and how kind you are to him. He won't admit it, but he does have quite the big ego.
When you two finally go to have sex, Idia is a bit surprised when you suddenly tell him that you're a little afraid to continue.
He understands how you feel. It's definitely quite the nerve-wracking experience. But trying his best to comfort you, he'll reassure you that at any time you two can stop. After all, you always try to make sure he's comfortable and you never force him to do anything he doesn't want to, so it's only fair that he does the same for you.
Tumblr media
~Floyd Leech~
Tumblr media
Floyd doesn't really care much about where you're from but he really likes your confidence! You talk to him so casually and even when there's times when he makes subtle threats towards you, you just shrug and walk away.
He enjoys your reactions to his teasing. You're flustered expression is always super funny, but there are times where you get back at him and make him flustered too. It's nice to hang around someone who doesn't shy away from him.
Floyd is truly a fun and amazing person when he wants to be. He may not be everyone's first choice for a boyfriend but he's yours.
When you two decide to pursue a romantic relationship you'll more than likely have been friends with Floyd for awhile and by then you'll have figured out how to deal with his chaotic personality and his ever changing moods.
Whenever you both decide to become more intimate, he's very interested when you tell him you're a soft dom. Floyd doesn't care that much about giving up the dominant role to you. He may complain a little bit though.
The first time you two decide to have sex Floyd's excitability can get the better of him. He may end up going a bit too fast and that's when he finds out your a bit scared of sex.
Floyd can't help but laugh a bit. He's not trying to be mean, it's just funny to him. He tells you how cute you are, gettin' all shy, and that there's nothing to worry about. He won't bite~
Not yet anyway.
But, he'll try to comfort you. He'll tell you that your silly and there's nothing to be afraid of. You can do whatever you want with him, just don't make it boring, 'kay? So go on and show him what ya got!
Of course, you can decide that your just not ready for it and he'll be fine with it. Sure, he may be slightly disappointed but it's not fun if you're gonna be upset the whole time. Either way, he's just excited to be with you.

This may or may not have asked more than once but I wanted to ask— what is your favorite alternate universe or stories of jttw in Tumblr? I've seen the glorious works of Kaijufluffs and kiri with her monkey business (may be some lmk here and there), but so far that's the only things in my list. There was also that one jttw artist and their au but like, it was from the 2015 movie (I think) and somehow integrated w the west pantheon too (their name might've been sun or something)
If you do and can, can you list down ur fav AUS and what you think of them? I've been following ur blog for a while and wanted to ask (but I've just been too shy)
Thanks for the question anon! And yes! There are definitely some fun JTTW aus out there; people on this site are incredibly creative.
So to begin, are you talking about the aus made by @sunny-days-and-warm-mournings? Because I know that they've come up with a number of AUs, and that from what I've seen they're all bangers with all sorts of interesting takes and flavors, from making everyone's favorite monkey more a god of food to a terrifying death deity! As you can imagine this has led to many a stellar design from the whimsical to the horrific for all of these monkey kings, each of which is fully worth checking out. tbh I feel like you should just scroll through their gallery to find them all & will promise that you won't be disappointed.
If you're looking for something a little more lego show flavored, then you should check out @digitaldoeslmk's "by the book au!" Its Monkey King is extremely fun sized, and it's really neat for the way it explores heartfelt sides to MK and friend's stories in a Monkie Kid scenario where JTTW happened according to Wu Cheng'en's story and where reality isn't constantly in danger so we see fun stuff like lion dancing and putting on plays and the warm interactions that come with it (& also where everyone isn't routinely yelling about how awful & incompetent SWK is fsgreafw).
I also have to give a shout-out to @violetvirus for their JTTW cyberpunk au! It's got a very fun and bouncy cartoon vibe to it, and I love how SWK, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing look as robots <3. There's hints of some interesting ways the JTTW scenario works with a cyberpunk setting, as well as some moments of silliness like this banger:
Last but certainly not least, and while its been awhile since he posted, I would definitely recommend checking out @antidotefortheawkward and @antidotefortheawkward-art's blogs for his JTTW AUs! Seriously, his blogs are cornucopias of wonderful JTTW aus, from an actors AU to a triad AU to a Lotus Lantern AU to a post-JTTW JTTW au! Each of these really shows a lot of attention and care for the characters and the details of the world they inhabit from clothing to religion to history, which as you can imagine opens up multiple opportunities for some really lovely, heartfelt, and overall great interactions. A few personal favorites include this comic of an conversation between Sun Wukong and Liu Chenxiang of Lotus Lantern fame:
A comic about Sun Wukong's reactions after first learning that Xiyouji included details about his time as Puti Zushi's tudi:
And to end on something a little darker, a comic for his JTTW-ish/Macbeth au.
So those are the JTTW aus I can think of at the top of my head, but I sincerely hope you find them as fun and interesting as I do anon! And needless to say if anyone has a JTTW au that they think worth sharing, please do so.

✧ @abbacchiosbelt ― hayley has such great ideas that i just want to pick apart their brain to see how they come up with such splendid thoughts! they're honestly such a fun person, i want to give them all of my love and then some!
personal picks : stuck in a wall with genshin men (reader's just like "oh won't someone come save me? wait... not like that!") , glory and gore with toji (funny story, i didn't know they wrote this and posted the link in a server we share and they were like !!! i wrote that! needless to say i was super embarrassed) , yandere kaeya headcanons (i just think he's neat when he's unhinged) , arranged marriage with diluc (oh nooo what a terrible thing to have to deal with...), and someone great with gojo (gods he walks the line of infuriating/bearable every damn day)
Tumblr media
✧ @after-witch ― theo has perfected the art of suspense. her immaculate pacing within her stories always blows my mind, and there has been a few times where i've gone "WHAT!?" while reading some of her works!
personal picks : good as gold (the ending of this! i love the implications sm), wife or death (its always morally correct to make a deal with the devil in one's time of need), alone in the dark with gojo (he's is such a vile pos here... not that i'm complaining!) , a gift with sesshomaru (adore the chance to see sesshy being soft for once), love is the honey with chrollo (honestly reader, same.), welcome home lord scaramouche (the absolute level of bitchiness this man possesses...), glass half full with dazai (him taking advantage of another person's feelings? its more likely than you think!), character development with fyodor (how to gain his approval: read books together), suffrance with chrollo (seeing such a normally calm character snap will never not be satisfying to me), and act of contrition with chrollo (my hand twitched at the end with the physical NEED to slap this man)
Tumblr media
✧ @bye-bye-sunbird ― big sis sunnie!!! sunnie is literally a ray of sunshine, she's so sweet and warm-hearted, she always makes me feel so happy when i chat with her! i swear her smile can melt ice and make flowers bloom!
personal picks : necessity with scaramouche (this absolute menace, i hope a bird poops on his precious hat) , yandere diluc soulmate au (diluc refusing to lose the few things that bring him joy, no matter what the cost is, is so delicious) , waltzing with the harbingers (note to self: do not step on their toes) , blaphemous with pantalone (the gods do not exist here in these snowy lands, but don't fret, for pantalone exists in their stead) , and forced marriage with diluc (fuck there's something so sexy about diluc when he snaps...)
Tumblr media
✧ @cinnamonest ― lena is a dark content creater / momcon enthusiast / CEO of feral razor / raging kurapikasexual that never misses with her works (did i mention she's got a great sense of humor paired with a big brain?) i love her mei mei series and hope to use her profile template in the future!
personal picks : dad kaeya with his daughter (love all of this series tbh) , the genshin boys' reactions to being slapped in the face (her rankings are always spot on) , genshin boys' dick headcanons (all i can say is yes, this is permanently engraved in my brain) , genshin boys' choice of womb tattoos (sex magic go brr) , dad diluc with his daughter (he'd be such an insistent and possessive father for sure) , moribund with childe (i wonder how many people he'd kill in one go while coming after you. surely he can't go after too many... right? right???) , and crepus with his daughter (thank you lena for always indulging my depraved thoughts!)
honestly everything from her is just so good!
Tumblr media
✧ @ddarker-dreams ― lock's mastery of the english language is always a sight to behold! she seamlessly connects minute details from the original work (anime / manga / show / etc. ) or even from some of her own works into her writings, sometimes with no one noticing! scarlet bindings with diluc has a few different references (most of which are obvious) ! she's also a giant sweetheart who i absolutely adore bouncing off ideas with, and wrote cold to the touch with kaeya for me!
personal picks : tempting fate with scaramouche (lil sadistic gremlin will get what's coming for him... eventually) , "your body won't lie to me" with chrollo (he's such a bastard here, i love it) , yandere tartaglia with a fatui recruit darling headcanons (the chilling realization that reader is stuck with him as a superior...) , break a leg with gojo (his insufferableness bleeds through the words here) , the snowstorm with childe (imagining the bloodthirsty look in his eyes as he's coming after reader is just hngh...) , entanglement with kafka (she really is both the unstoppable force and the unmovable object) , smoking gun with johan (the realization johan has after speaking to reader is so good... i could feel the heaviness in the air) , loaded question with arlecchino (i always did believe that she's the type to play with her lover in more way than one...) , aftertaste with kaeya and diluc (never a good time with both of them, that's for sure) , in your eyes with izaya (gaining his attention never ends well, does it?) , exodus with chrollo (ngl, chrollo you're looking real smackable right now) , entrenched with kaeya (the audacity of this man never ceases to astound me) , comfortably numb with chrollo (what is numbness if not acceptance? what is ideation if not desire?) , quid pro quo with chrollo (going to be completely honest this piece lives in my mind rent-free) , and hell within reach (this series has such a special place in my heart, i love lady avalor sm)
not gonna lie, you could probably read any of her works and leave full and happy (or binge them all for a good time!)
(fun fact: lock was the first person i followed, and is one of my biggest inspirations for writing, which is why i like to call her the goddess of yanderes, suspense, and horror)
Tumblr media
✧ @dear-yandere ― vanny (or as i like to call her, the yandere queen or queen of yanderes) is another one of the great yandere writers of tumblr! she's also the owner of a big heart (honestly i think she possesses enough love to fill a few blue whale hearts) and is such a compassionate person, whose writing (and artwork) is top tier!
personal picks : diluc's crush dating kaeya (a jealous yandere diluc is always a good pick! ) , acquiescence with pierro (oh yeah, love this old man so much) , little dove with columbina (she's so hauntingly beautiful and also frighteningly eerie) , vladimir (league of legends) at a bar with his darling (can i bite him back? please???) , shuu sakamaki being slightly tsundere + mean (he says he's not looking out for a walking blood bag, he's just upholding his father's rule (like he ever cared about it in the first place)), hisoka being his usual perverted + creepy self (ugh he's so hot like that though) , mafia boss dazai osamu drugging his darling (mafia dazai just hits different) , memento mori (chillingly ironic since it's starring mori ougai) , and little lover (shared harbinger darling) , honestly another writer where you just can't go wrong with any of her works
Tumblr media
✧ @hypnoswrites ― their way of crafting stories is like a master painter. each line is a brushstroke and every word brings a new color to the piece. by the time i've reached the last sentence, my jaw is on the floor, my eyes are wide, and i have to take a moment to compose myself (in a good way!) after reading.
personal picks : nightly visit with astarion (fuck he's insufferable like this and im all for it) , quality time with shalnark (the only words i have is oh fuck, he's so manipulative with a soulmate) , heard through the grapevine with shalnark (all i can say is holy shit. i love reader's nen in this and the pacing is exquisite!) , spider cave with chrollo (the utter despair of knowing that everything you did was for naught is such a bitter taste and i gulp it down like the sweetest honey) , to prove oneself with hisoka (fuck yeah reader get his ass!) , and dissonance with demiurge (anti-magic runes? engraved in the walls. hidden listening device? secretly planted. hotel? nazarick.)

if you would like to be removed from this list, please let me know!

If they kept a journal
{Headcannons}
Because I always want to give characters journals for some reason 😅
Taglist: @vvkingofgaybisciutsvv @thequeenofthewinter @thedevilshardy @mollybegger-blog @wandawiccan60 @cameleonhardyfan63 @liliac-dreamer @potter-solomons
Tommy Conlon/Riordan
Tumblr media
Venting. Lots and lots of venting and messy drawings (he's trying to work through trauma, leave him be)
Likes journals that are a little on the small side cause it's easier to carry with him
Writing alone in a coffee shop with his headphones on
"I'll slap you" after Brendan tried to look at what he was writing (aka nosey older sibling syndrome)
Writes after fights to calm himself
Shopping lists, schedule for the week, reminders, things he hears people say in public, his commentary on whatever he's watching/listening to, anything and everything
Self-loathing and cocky confidence all in the same paragraph
Writes backward, in circles, with his non dominant hand, or turns the book upside down to amuse himself
The quietest people have the loudest minds
Spaces out in the middle of a sentence/word, he's trying to think but his thoughts tend to get away from him and are often times uncontrollable
Fidgeting with his pen or whatever he's writing with
Tried to make it neat and tidy once, but it didn't last long
can't stand to write in the presence of people he knows, especially his family, although he knows most of his marine buddies will respect his privacy
Starts every journal with the info on his dog tags (which he refuses to take off 99% of the time)
Eddie Brock
Tumblr media
Is a literal journalist!
Rambling in his notes, doodles when bored (same goes for Vemon), daily records, existential crises in great detail
Got Vemon their own journal on the condition that they wouldn't hijack his hand when he was trying to write
Journals via symbiote, Vemon's memory is far better than his "remind me to write that down later,"
Vemon is a literal five-year old with their journal, "Eddie look!"
Sometimes, their minds blend together enough that they write the same thing in unison with each other
It doesn't matter which journal is whose, they're both just as chaotic as the other!
Vemon has chocolate wrappers plastered over most of the pages, and a list of what they call "Eddie things" (it's a list of stuff Eddie likes)
Vemon occasionally calls journals "decorating books"
Vemon definitely loves "wreck this journal"
Happy host (usually!) Means Happy Symbiote
Alfie Solomons
Tumblr media
The rambling of a madman, that's what Tommy Shelby called it anyway. Alfie prefers "Fuckin' work of art" but to each his own
It's basically a more personal business ledger. Lists of allies, potential businesses and business partners, people he wants to get rid of. Meeting schedules (courtesy of Ollie), talking points for said meetings, and God only knows what else he comes up with
The only person beside Alfie himself to see the inside of that book is Ollie, under Alfie's supervision of course
Keeps it in a lockbox with a gun
"You want to see the book? What the fuck are you on about mate?!"
Mostly writes in larger print instead of cursive because his eyes ain't what they used to be, and looking at cursive gives him an eye strain headache
Definitely had rum spilled on it multiple times
Won't deny (at least not to Ollie) that he's thought about putting it in front of someone's head and shooting it
"Sometimes I think I should've shot you the first time I came here" a note written in the book by Tommy Shelby, who, in his defense, was left unsupervised
Writing for a moment, standing up to pace around the room, sits back down, repeat
Messy drawings of Cyril
Farrier (and Collins!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Farrier just simply enjoys writing, it's peaceful
Collins often steals the book, flips to a random blank page, and writes little notes/inside jokes for his friend to find later
Pressed flowers, fountain pens, and cigarette smoke
Often writes on his smoke breaks
A growth chart for all the garden plants and a map of what's planted where
Ends his entries with mood indicators, ie (: or ):
Tallies up dogfights between him and Collins to see who gets playful teasing/bragging rights
Started keeping a journal when he first joined RAF, after a chat with an older pilot who told him stories that he said he wrote down "so the good memories would last longer"
Likes to write in his cockpit, it's one of the places he's most comfortable
"There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there aren't any old bold pilots, mate!"
Cloud/brid watching and writing about what he sees
Collins likes to chat with Farrier as he writes, Farrier enjoys the company
They have definitely had conversations by writing notes and passing the book to each other
Detailed sketches of planes, especially spitfires!
Wondering through the woods and forests and documenting his adventure and exploration
Writes about how he'd like a pet but doesn't think he could stand to be away from it so much
Forrest Bondurant
Tumblr media
Fountain pens and scuffed leather bound blank pages drowned in the sent of cigar smoke
Has definitely smacked Howard over the head with it
Poems, philosophy, metaphors, drawings and detailed descriptions of plants and what they can be used for, the different moonshine recipes the brothers use, short stories, bank balance cause he couldn't be bothered to find his legder
Craves his initials into the cover with his pocket knife
Howard calls his journals "a wealth of knowledge"
No matter how tempting, neither Jack nor Howard dare to trifle with their brother's journal
Morning stream of consciousness pages as he drinks his coffee
Sitting at his desk late at night, can't sleep, journaling in his office with a cigar between his lips
Documents the odd (lucid) dreams that he has on occasion, attempting to figure out what they are
Depictions of three wolves, each wolf representing one of the three brothers. Wolves are fiercely protective of their family, just like the brothers

writer ask meme: 3, 9, 14?
3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?
there are a lot of tropes I fundamentally dislike. soulmate stuff, for one. anything that would require me to write a sex scene, for another. I'm not really into modern AUs either--I don't really see the appeal of putting the characters into a completely different setting divorced from the canon material. if I wanted to write that I would just write my own book.
9. Which fic has been the hardest to write?
well at this moment, race con, because it's the one I'm currently writing, the plot is insane, and it's still over 200k from finishing and I would like to have it in a form that's ready to start posting by may 4th next year. writing is an endurance sport etc
14. What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?
I'll be real I don't remember most of the bad writing advice I come across because I immediately throw that shit out the window. But I feel like most advice I've gotten about characters and character building has been bad. people who have followed this blog long enough know that I think characterization is a scam and all those "get to know your character" questionnaires of like are they neat or messy or what's their favorite color or drink and whatever is pointless. I don't care what protagonist man (gender neutral) likes to wear on the weekends. I'll come up with that answer if it's relevant to the story. all I care about from the outset is what they're trying to accomplish and what they're willing to do it and like. maybe one or two adjectives to have a starting point for what they do?
I do remember at some point reading an absolute dogshit take on chekhov's gun somewhere on tumblr that was like "having the gun on the mantelpiece and being forced to use it is bad story design it forces you to telegraph what you're going to do" or something (it's been some years since I saw this post) and like. the point of chekhov's gun is that if you have a gun go off in the second act, it had better come from somewhere that was shown in the first act (instead of from out of the character's ass) and also if you make a big deal out of something in the first act, you have some responsibility as a writer to follow through in the second act or you're just wasting everyone's time. the thing is, not everything is chekhov's gun, and readers won't be able to know what's what until the second act.
I also remember at some point reading a tumblr post that was like "all stories need to have a character arc" which is just. wrong. because not all stories are about character growth/devolution. sometimes stories are about things the characters are doing. I'm not going to say that philip marlowe really has much character growth from start to end and he doesn't need it because he's a detective and the problem he's trying to solve is trying to figure out what's everyone else's problem. there's nothing wrong with him being a static character, and saying that all stories need a character arc is kind of misunderstanding the nature of conflicts in a story.

I don't know I just wrote whatever and whoever came to mind. Also this is not proofread if there are any mistakes there aren't, you're seeing wrong. Btw i moved blogs and deleted the old post teehee written pre-sumeru
Tumblr media
Eula swear vengeance on me hot lady coming from an old noble houshold, didn't know how to cook. I hc that it was after she met amber(lets go lesbians) that she finally learnt the arts of culinary. Definitely practiced alot at Good Hunters with Sara. But but but she already knew how to make desserts (look at her trailer video justice for Eula 2k23) and she decorates them in a manner that's very aesthetically pleasing too. She also has a habit of cooking in a very neat and organised manner. Once again Sara taught her about the necessity of a sanitary kitchen and she had taken it to heart so don't fuck up her kitchen. She will swear vengeance and kick you out(lmaooo skill issue Euladontkickmeoutpls )
The great priestess of Watatsumi Island, Sangonomiya Kokomi unfortunately cannot handle seafood [koko is like half fish so would her having seafood be considered cannibalism???] so don't even think about bringing any living creature that has even been near a water body to your kitchen when shes with you. If you make my wife sad I'm coming to throw hands. Kokomi prefers food with mild flavors like her specialty, bird egg sushi, and foods that are easily portable because she is often (see: always) in a hurry. Although if you don't know how to cook, she will gladly teach you. Cooking with kokomi is very fun and cooking dates are how a great majority of your dates are spent. [oh no, what's this, suddenly I have forgotten how to even chop an onion wha- How unfortunate seems like I'll have to take cooking classes on watatsumi Island now:)]
Adeptus Xiao, the mighty yakha who has defended Liyue for centuries, the Golden Winged King who has served the geo archon as his sole master after being saved from the clutches of the evil god is rendered completely helpless infront of a chopping board. This angsty teen cannot cook anything other than almond tofu so cooking dates are a no-go :( Although he can't cook he'll sit on the kitchen counter and watch while you bake. He won't take a bite if it's anything savoury or spicy but mild tasting desserts that don't come off as strong (like cheesecake or kheer) will definitely not be refused
The ever busy secretary Ganyu (my dear overworked coconut please take a break.) somewhat knows her way around the kitchen. Being an half-qilin eating isn't the same for her as it is for mortals. She can go on for day's without any nutritional intake due to the divinity running through her veins therefore she hasn't had much chances to be in the kitchen. If need be, she could always order something from Wanmin's or perhaps the boquet of qingxin that Yaoyao dropped by for her. Ganyu is as good as any amatuer who can cook basic meals but is very willing to learn, that is if she can get past her busy schedule. (Also pls stop eating glaze lilies, half divine or not, I don't think that's good for your health.) She doesn't cook often because of work but when does take a break forced to by ningguang and Keqing. I also think modern au ganyu would be vegan. And candies Hawthorn or tanghulu would be a guilty pleasure.
When it comes to cooking, it is safe to say that culinary is not the electro archon, Raiden Ei's area of expertise. Sticking to honing her skills in martial arts would do better. (Read: my mother would smack you with her slipper and kick you out of the gouse if you dared enter her kitchen). Say if Ms. Ei does try her hand at cooking... your house burnt down because she tried to thaw the chicken w the musou no hitotachi. Now you're homeless and broke. Later you both agree to order takeout and then freeload off of the budget from Narukami shrine courtesy of the gūji, yae miko, who is just surprised you managed to bring this hikkikomori out of her hole. It's fine ei's the archon anyway it's more or less her property.
The handsome consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli has lived for 9000 years. He has picked up as many skills as the friends he's lost. Maybe this is why the all knowing rex lapis cannot find those who share the memories. However for the sake of your wallet, who already has one foot in the coffin, please keep this man away from the kitchen. Reason being, the groceries you bought for a month have been used in a week. While I am quite proud of how much food i can stuff in my stomach, servings for 8 people might be a little too much even for me. bestie have mercy. Its me and your sugar daddy who has to pay for the groceries and because you so kindly decided to step down as rex lapis and give away your gnosis, the change in minting of mora is going to bring a global financial crisis woohoo. Also nobody can wait 85648 hours for dinner. please be finished before my retirement. Not everybody has the luxury of faking their death and then having a sugar daddy to live rich. (Yes i am bitter.)

This was a repost from my main acc. because i moved blog here. Also genshin has been a little boring (read: cheated on genshin with hsr bc dan heng my beloved) so what better way to return than come back by writing

Tumblr media
💘 Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Who was your first? Who is it now presently?
100% dsjkfjkdf i thiiiink my first like..real crush that i can remember was shego from kim possible LMAO
right now though? that's a tough one because i think i have a few from different fandoms sdfgdsfjk kojiro, kishibe, aki, gojo, dabi...the list is longer but i'll just go with those right now.
👣 How many OCs do you have? Which one is your favorite and why?
I have a lot more than is mentioned on this blog but for the sake of brevity, i'll just go with who's here. so, that number is thirty. 16 of those are d&d ocs, 14 of those are fandom ocs.
this gets long so i'll put my favourites under a cut.
of the fandom ocs, i think my favourites are:
naoyuki fujimura - he was the first OC i made for sk8 and i really adore him. i don't get to use him a whole lot but his personality and vibes are something i'm really proud of
hiromi tanaka - my chainsaw man OC. i still haven't finished her carrd yet but i put a lot of work into her so i'm excited to have her fully fleshed out eventually and hopefully get to use her more!
takashi shindo - my absolute BABY BOY i love the way he's developed and i think he's just a very neat character. there's so much about him that i still need to get out in headcanons posts but aaaaa my boy
kaede chinen - bastard boy. bastard. but god i love him sfdgdjsfjkdg he's so snarky and he toes the line of arrogance at times but he's just unapologetically himself and he doesn't allow anyone to change him drastically.
katsumi kyan - she's a menace but she's so cute and i love her so much. she's going to be the reason reki gets his grey hairs early fkjfdsjk but she's so fun and she's just a little spitfire
for d&d ocs:
mihai keove - my half elf light cleric of lathander. she's been through so so much in her backstory but she's kept her kindness and her heart. a lot of her can sort of be summed up by the saying "there's bravery in being soft". she's never lost that desire to wake up every day and be kind and take care of people. even with the loss she's experienced, she's never once let it turn her bitter. she's an incredibly strong woman and she's absolutely my favourite d&d character.
lark grey - lark is...so much fun fgjksfdjkg they're my exhausted enby human death warlock who can be summed up by "god won't let me die" except it's not god, it's death. basically, in the world lark is originally from, death works sort of like a corporation. you line up, meet death and he sends you through the big ol' doors to the afterlife unless you can bribe him to come back. lark, in life, worked for a coporation as well LMAO and so when he got his turn with death, death (aka harold) was like "ayo? i like your resume? how about you work for me instead?" and lark was like "if it means i don't have to die then yeah."
reno laedridal - screaming crying foaming at the mouth because i can never shut up about reno. reno is the first d&d character i ever made. my half elf brute fighter who can be summed up by "*smacks arm* this bad boy can fit so much trauma into him". he's morally grey, from the undercity and worked as a bouncer for a crime lord. he has some attachment issues and is a bit emotionally stunted but by god he's got a good heart under all the walls.
zikri suhaila - THE ULTIMATE BABY BOY. my half demon archfey warlock entertainer. he gets mistaken for a bard a lot because of his vibes and it absolutely frustrates him to no end but he can't be too mad about it because he definitely gets it. his mom is a former musician turned music teacher and his father is a retired adventurer which is where he got his desire to start adventuring from. he has a little brother named rahim. zikri is very charming and flirty.

I’ve been stalking your page ever since finishing the latest chapter of (why is there) joy in this poison and FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS OBSESSED WITH YR AND AFTG.
It’s funny seeing crossovers between fandoms and I like to keep my blog quiet between my many indulgences and hyperfixations but omg!!! I’ve loved both of these series for so long and to see some one as joyed about them as me is so neat!
in all honesty I came here to gush about your writing, how I really enjoy what you made and continue to make for the aftg universe! the way you write Andrew specifically is so unique and defiently made me re-read his lines and certain chapters because they’re just that GOOD! And to see a relationship between Kevin and Neil that’s so near and dear- is so refreshing- I love how much love they have for each other! And DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE ANDREIL MOMENTS!! Ugh the trust those two already have and continue to show each other in such a short amount of time (truly a feat for sir “walls” Andrew Minyard) has me on the edge of my seat for every and all chapters! And who isn’t a slut for sassy Neil really. That kid could trash talk anyone into the ground and I’d be applauding him the entire time!
Thank you truly for the lovely fic weather you choose to continue it or not, I have been blessed either way and definitely will check out your other fics! I’ve got my eye on I’ve Got You, Brother its seem like such a fantastic concept and you’ve got to love some older brother bonding!
Anyway- sorry for my rambling, just thought I’d come and sing your praises and if you see me lurking in your mentions here and comments on Ao3 from now on, don’t mind me!
hi omg ;;; i hope you know this got neither lost nor ignored, ive just been thinking about it nonstop for the last 2 weeks and have wanted to keep it close and easy to reread so i could cry over it
bc um basically AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ya know?
this is so so so incredibly sweet of you!!!!!! like i said ive reread this so many times in the last 2 weeks bc it's just. i cant form words even now, rereading it to reply.
YES aftg and yr are both SO good and im always glad to find more people who like them both!! (and there are a few of us out there! i am certainly not innocent of convincing more than one of my yr friends to read aftg and i will never apologize 😌) but they are both such big big parts of me now <3
thank you so so much for reading (wit)jitp!!! ;;;;; that fic means so so much to me and i swear to you i have no plans of abandoning it, ive just been kind of hitting walls in writing (though slowly ive been finding cracks, and hopefully i can convince the walls to crumble) but i have too many plans to give up now >:] there's still so much in store. you barely even know Nathaniel's plans 😩
SOBBING AGAIN OVER THE PARAGRAPH HERE BTW i am truly awestruck bc i was so so nervous about writing Andrew bc he's such a hard character for me to understand, and to hear your thoughts on him was so amazing for my self-esteem!! (it is also the easiest way to make me scream and cry, to compliment my characterization, since im almost always worried about it but i digress skdhg)
Kevin and Nathaniel's relationship is also something that i could scream for hours about but let me say it has been AMAZING seeing how many people love their love for each other and i will forever be ecstatic to hear it ;;;; and Andrew and Nathaniel!!! two very traumatized boys finding trust in each other bc they both have the same values and can find common ground (and comfort!) with each other where no one else will. ;;;;
also we stan a sassy Neil, you are SO RIGHT literally who wouldn't be a slut for sassy Neil. he deserves more sass, imho.
also omg thank you for giving my other fics a look, too ;;; I've Got You, Brother is definitely a good choice for some brotherly bonding, that's the main focus of the story after all :] (though im debating some ideas which won't feature Wille at all, we'll see how it goes) i definitely need to work on that one as well >>
you never need to apologize for rambling btw!! i love rambles :D (as you can probably tell bc i also rambled... a lot, whoops) but always feel free to send me asks or messages with any and all of your thoughts <3
thank you so so so so so much for this, and for reading my stories, and for being an amazing person!!

My boi StarShade, star seeker frametype by @dimorphodon-x. He's the smaller assassin type.
Gave up on trying to draw him properly so just went straight for the colors. Had no idea how to choose them so just used this palette generator. Might dull/darken the blue later but for now that's it.
More info below (not all that much, it's the first time I have name+design before story and background), cursed meme for those who manage to get till the end:
For now his story is kinda backwards - I know that eventually he ends up in a dance group Neon Shadows (based on groups like MPLUSPLUS or Light Balance, more on NS hopefully later) but before that happens I need to marinate him in some good 'ol character developing angst.
Ghost, shadow, phantom, cryptid, camo... many terms for just one guy with one neat outlier ability - super stealth. Combine it with being a massive fraggin liar and you get Starshade.
Idk yet who found and onlined him, what they needed him for and how he was trained. But I do know he lies amazingly and casually so much that not even a lie detector can get him. Because of that he gets tied up in the war as a spy. Doesn't matter for which side 'cuz then he becomes a double spy. Then triple and quadruple and and and in the end you don't know who's side he's really on.
He doesn't know either, nor does he care. All he cares about is himself and to steer all trouble away, to confuse others and manipulate the situation in such way that he's never the suspect.
At first he doesn't care how much chaos he causes as long as the consequences don't reach him. But after some decisions that fucked over some peeps he didn't want to get fucked over he does some thinking and decides to de-escalate conflicts instead of escalating them. Basically he figures he just wants the war to end now more than ever.
Because of his job he's a loner, which is a shame 'cuz he's very sociable and loves hanging out with others. And dancing. He loves music and dance. Sadly he can never be completely honest with others and never feels like he truly belongs to any group.
Eventually I want him to have a stealth car bf and also get him adopted by a flock of stealth seekers. And then join the Neon Shadows. Surely they won't regret taking in an ex-spy-but-acc-just-a-liar-coward-traitor. What can possibly go wrong? You can't tell me those golden eyes can lie. Surely his past won't come to bite him in the aft.
Ahem anyway...
His super stealth includes:
engine and ventilation are very quiet
colors can go from mostly gold/magenta to dark mode (pic above) and he prefers it that way
hard to detect by both cameras and radars
can be taken for freshly deceased even by a medic as his spark is harder to detect as well
naturally moves very quietly without even trying, may spook others by accident by just walking into a room without announcement
For now that's all, have a meme now:

Giving this guy his own post because drawing him was the most yolo decision and it even turned out quite decent despite me not even trying much lol
The brush pens were super cheap and the blue one was dying from the start so yeah, idk why I decided to draw him xD First thought was to draw him in his alt, just a flat triangle with some extras. And before I knew it I was drawing this instead.

Ok so regarding this post:
[click here for context]
(tagging @cirilee @im-a-mint and @curious-sootball, thank for insppiration <3)
I didn't draw people interrupting him 'cuz the doorframe was already too small and doing everything anew would be too much effort so yeah. But anyway:

Sergio asked her, "Ayo, Pari, you got any fancy dresses?"
"I actually do. But that can vary from ridiculous to formal.."
Pari was however very curious, but she'd thankfully humour him.
"Why do you ask?"

"With you around, this is the safest I've ever felt since leaving the temple for my expedition, despite all that's happened to us," said Ajax the next morning. He took the blankets Pari conjured up and made a makeshift coat over his armor. It didn't look neat by any means, but it kept him warm as the two traversed further north.
"I know how it feels to be in a position where one is feeling vulnerable. I like to try and help where I can, Ajax."
Pari replied, doing the same while she tried to catch up.
It may have been a little comical especially as she too was still covered in an additional throw to keep warm.
"Wow, you weren't kidding."

Talos was finishing up his rounds ensuring the hot springs were immensely cleaned and bot dirty along side that he walked back to the house to ensure everything was stocked for the next set of days and if any customer or tourist were to come by to stay or enjoy the hot springs he'd be ready for it, he hums softly enjoying the great altitude and breeze of the wind here. The weather is always great, it's sunny which allows for him to grow lots of plants and fruits up on the mountain. He went to the back gardens checking some herbs and green tea plants and of course the lovely orchid tree that has tasty fruits. They are finally ripe for taking, he'll pick them later as he cleans the entire place daily and went to the otherwise of the house where the food stock are ensuring foods are fresh and contained properly.
He took an break after all is done and sat outside enjoying the day, he ate some very tasty food and drank green tea which helped him alone to focus and relax his mind.
Pari had never seen a hot spring quite like the one's she'd encountered.
And she'd travelled to a lot of hot springs in her time.
Of course, she hadn't planned on just how different the bath house happened to be. After all, it looked perfectly normal. Although she'd have had to go for a more private option as not all of the bath houses were accepting of clients with tattoos.
She'd made her way to the main house first, looking a little windswept and interesting.
"Hello, is there anyone in?"
She called out..

Ode To My Travel Companions
It has been awhile since I have wrote in here, I did write something awhile back but decided not to post it as it was laced with the kind of emotion I don't like putting here all that much. While I know I have broken the internal rule of keeping my demons away from this blog multiple times I still try to abide by it.
Tomorrow marks the 9 year anniversary of my trip to Europe and I know what you are thinking. For fuck sakes Corey enough with talking about Europe 9 years ago. One year from now will be 10 years since maybe celebrate it then, and how about a novel idea of doing another trip. You are right and all in due time.
I wanted to write at least something for August and the idea came when my jacket's zipper broke. For a moment I got really depressed because this jacket is more than just an ordinary jacket this jacket is my travel jacket. After the initial worry of losing my jacket was overtaken with sheesh Corey just replace the zipper but it got me thinking of the 4 items I take with me on just about every trip and how much they mean to me and feel like this August would be a good time to pay homage to them because they all come with a backstory and oddly enough a very similar backstory at least in theme. Of course they are all linked through travel but linked in what they meant to me at the start and how it evolved. Lets start my 2 most obvious companions.
Tumblr media
in 2012 and 2013 I often attended a live podcast called Geeks VS Nerds, during the intermission they had a raffle. I started to notice that they never mixed up the bowl before picking from it so I decided to spend 20 bucks on tickets right before the raffle and I was winning every time. It became a thing till they figured out how I won of course. Most of the stuff I won I gave to my friends at Nerd HQ as a way to level out my karma plus most of the stuff I didn't want anyway. However one of if not the biggest prizes I won was a hand sown version of the Jayne hat, the hat on the left side of the picture.
For those who like me at the time I didn't know what a Jayne hat is it comes from the show FireFly, a show I am not much of a fan of outside of what the meaning of the hat or what it meant for me.
youtube
At first I did not want the hat, what would I do with hat like that that barely keeps my head warm and from a show I didn't care for? I even tried to give it away to a friend of mine, Dani. However Dani didn't feel comfortable taking it. I would like to think she instinctively thought that me and this hat should not be separated and that life had bigger plans for me and it than with her but chances are she probably didn't want the hat either.
Not long after that though I decided to travel to Europe and it didn't take long for me to figure out what I could use this hat for. I love the movie Amelie and always found the gnome around the world thing was a neat thing and thought why not do that but with hat. I was the only one I knew with that hat, everyone knew I had that hat and I hate taking selfies of myself so this was a best of both worlds.
However a few months before the trip I realized that I should buy a back up, just incase I lose the one I had and that is where the Jayne hat not he right side of the picture came from as I bought that one at a comic book store a month or so before the Europe.
The rest is pretty much history with my 2 Jayne hats, they have accompanied me in just about every place I have ever been to except Whitehorse because I for some stupid reason forgot to bring them. They are a staple of my travels and at times what drives my travels. I do not know if travel feels the same without those two with me.

This picture has a lot of history behind it and always makes me a little emotional, it looks like just a typical photo and it is but is more I know what I was thinking and feeling at that moment and no one could know it unless I told you. I won't tell you today but I also show this picture because you see the last two items I wish to pay homage to; my travel jacket and my messenger bag.
A month or so before I went on my trip my parents visited me in Vancouver for the last time and decided they wanted to buy me my travel supplies to make sure I was prepared. We went to a store called Atmosphere and I needed a jacket. The thing is I only had a jean jacket which is good for summer but not for winter and I had a winter jacket which is only good for winter obviously. I was going to be traveling in September, October and half of November. I needed a jacket that was light enough to not smother me during the late period of summer but warm enough to get me through all of fall. Of all the jackets the store help shown me it was that jacket that seemed right to me. I can't really remember why but I know the biggest selling point was inner pockets. It's hard to find that in jackets anymore but it is very important to me especially during traveling front pockets are easily pick pocketed however inner jacket pockets lower that risk at least a little bit. I know that was the biggest selling point of the jacket. I am pretty sure I didn't want it because it was too expensive and I didn't like my parents buying this stuff for me but they didn't care. So the jacket was mine and has remained mine ever since. Unlike the other 3 items I use this jacket the most and all through the year or at least when the weather is fine for it and given it is Vancouver this much of the year. Like my hats I can see myself ever not having the jacket in my life though I know of all of my items this jacket will be the first go given how much I have used it and much wear and tear is on it already. When it is no longer useable I will still keep it with me, in fact I may even want to be buried in it if it makes environmental sense. That is how much I love it and how much it means to me.
Lastly is my messenger bag. As I mentioned I was a part of a group called Nerd HQ and during my time there some of us did something called craft exchange where it was nearly a secret Santa. I suck at crafts but I thought it would be a good way to make pies for someone. I made 2 pies for one person but someone ho was my friend Tara's friend made me this messenger's bag. I feel so ashamed of myself now but at first I didn't like it. Like with the hat I thought what the hell would I use this bag for? There is no buttons or anything it looked like it had no real practical use. it took my friend Tara to sit me down and give me a well deserved tongue lashing to realize it is the thought that counts and you should be grateful someone put this much effort into something like this for you. She could not be more right, it did not take long for me to warm up to it and again once it became obvious I was going to Europe this messenger's bag immediately had a use and that bag became absolutely invaluable to me. I had a camping backpack but that is too large and bulky to bring everywhere I needed something compact, light and portable to carry stuff and that bag was absolutely perfect in so many ways. Perfect size to carry vinyl records and it had 2 inner pockets, one for my iPad and another was originally for my phone but over time became became the battery pocket. I cannot stress how much I love this bag now. It is also the most fragile though so I only use for travel.
So those are my four travel companions. 4 that have accompanied me on most if not all of my travels in the past 9 years and I hope for the next 9, 18 or 30 years. Doubtful but I will cross that bridge when I get there. They are and remain important pieces to me and my life.
They are constant reminders that sometimes you need to give something/someone a chance to reveal it's worth or you will miss out on so much. Sometimes what you want is not exactly what you need. I don't know if I will ever learn that lesson fully and it will always wind up hurting me.
So with that what is next. I plan on going to Edmonton and Victoria in October, I know yawn but you can't imagine how hard, expensive and stressful it is to travel right now. I could give you a story as to why but I am waiting till the trip that has given me grief is happening occurs to tell it.
There is of course another trip to Newfoundland but that is nothing new either. I know I have promised to do lots of travel over the years but there are a lot of underlining as well as obvious reasons as to why I haven't. Barring something seriously bad happening to the world and/or me I will be traveling in 2024 and it will be somewhere different, unique and/or fun. The plan is Japan, to burn all of my leave split between Newfoundland in December if I am still in Vancouver next year and Japan in November when I turn 40. If I am living in Newfoundland at that time then I am spending as much of my leave time as I can on Japan and leave a little time off for Christmas.
If not Japan, then Australia if affordable (which the tin of itself is doubtful) and if neither of those places are doable or affordable I am going back to Europe again because even though I have been to many of the places there at least twice I know I will have fun there and it would feel even sweeter to be back there 10 years later but I do want it to be Japan. Japan has always been #1 on my list but I never did. There is no better time than now or next year to finally see that place to cap off what has been period of highs and lows for me in my life that is my 30s. Till the next time shazbot nanu nanu.

Happy New Year!! I know I didn't post a Merry Christmas post. Was feeling under the weather, still am but getting better.
Anyway, Happy 2022! Wishing everyone a great New Year and if 2021 was not so good, hoping 2022 will prove better! Still New Year's Eve here, but thought I'd put this up early.
I wasn't sure how all my Midam reblogs would be received. Sorry for those who are unfamiliar-- It's one of my big interests now in terms of shipping. I still love Sastiel, but I mean-- Episode 15x08 for SPN-- that really set up an intriguing friendship between Michael & Adam. Thanks to those who've liked and reblogged my Midam-related reblogs. Makes me feel better about all the Midam reblogs one after another sometimes. I'm trying to add some non-Midam reblogs to change things up.
I'm excited to post one of my favorite chapters for "Everything Ends Here" in January. It'll be a canon-divergent one for the SPN episode "Faith."
Also hoping to finish a story that's more angsty than shippy, but it has both Sastiel & Midam (not sure if that combo in one story is really done?). It will be titled, "The Christmas Resurrection." Hoping to complete the story before winter is over? *blush*
Here are some gifs I like to celebrate the New Year. *grins*
Mishalecki, of course. 😛

Michael & Adam in SPN 15x08 💙 Interesting to see Michael suggesting Adam be his guide to spending time on Earth. Such a change from Michael in Season 5 who would probably prefer to stay up in Heaven if not for following through with the plan for the Apocalypse.

Title: One Last Time Before We Part
Author: AvalonSilver
Artist: Wonderland
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Ships: Gen, minor Michael/Adam and Jack/non-spn male character
Expected word count: 20K
Major warnings and tags: Thoughts of self-harm (no follow-through), angel possession, discrimination, miserable!Jack, bastard!Chuck, Sam and grief
Summary: In the final days, Jack rushes to cement his plan to insure Chuck's possession of him won't be permanent.
Humanity suffers through half of Earth's population being wiped out and a strange curse. Sam is still determined to save Jack despite Michael’s assertion that Jack must die along with Chuck to fix things.  
Claire has difficulty coping after losing those closest to her -- especially Kaia.
After a troubling encounter with Jack, Claire can't avoid the decision looming over her. She must confront her complicated past with Castiel upon the angel's return.
Also, Claire makes an unexpected friend – the sole survivor of his farming village in Wales after Chuck's attack – whose powerful bloodline can help in the fight against Chuck.
Sam takes his final stand when Michael aims to end Chuck and Jack.
Opening paragraph: Jack entered the room looking tense.
His face was very pale as if he was coming down with something -- a cold or the flu. Which didn't make much sense considering Jack couldn't get sick.
But Cas and Jack were both well aware of the insidious terrible creation that was now growing within Jack.

Just to let you know, I'm not sure how often I'll be reblogging posts due to this weird tagging glitch on the mobile app for the past few days.
I've seen a few other people posting about this on Tumblr. So at least it's not just me. I prefer reblogging via the app and it's becoming frustrating reblogging when I keep needing to fix each tag.
I know the tagging is okay on the regular site -- I checked, but I don't want to go on my laptop or whatever just to fix a tag or add them. I'm one of those who likes to tag to help me find the post later. So not having tags won't work for me. :(
The tagging glitch on the mobile app is basically you type out the tag like you want but some letters come up twice bizarrely (when you only click the letter once)-- like, "Uunnbbeelieevvabblee" -- so I have to fix that mess. You kind of lose the motivation to have more than a tag or two for a post. It really sucks.
So I've been reblogging things I really like right now-- that feel worth the tagging glitch. One of which is gifsets from BBC's Merlin-- been rewatching some episodes recently -- Series/Season 4 right now.
Got to say still love the angst in 4x06 when Arthur is upset at Merlin being missing and possibly dead. Still love that episode upon the rewatch.
I think this is a sign to focus more on my story. Better that than glaring at the messed up tags due to the Tumblr glitch. Hope this gets fixed soon.

My #1 post of 2022
Okay, I know... Another one, but I couldn't resist. Now that it's officially January 1, 2022 for me, Happy New Year!
Someone convince me not to request another Cameo from Jake Abel...
Anyway... 😛 I have two more request ideas but the price... Is it worth it? I think so... if I ask for a gift card for my bday this year. And if he's still on Cameo when I get that gift card.
So yeah, back to the New Year celebration. Sorry for the topic change there. The Cameo thing has been on my mind since my first request turned out pretty well.
More gifs in honor of the New Year!
Some Sastiel and Mishalecki (including the iconic S14 gag reel moment, of course) gifs. 💙💙
I couldn't resist the healing one from 9x10. Love moments like that.
