Bearhugsandshrugs Update – April '24: Discord, beta reader match ups, WIPs, book writing!

Hey all, it's been a while since I shared an update!

TL;DR: Updates on fics, community things, and my life!

Last time I told you about the book proposal I wrote for my agent, and I managed to complete that and submit it! Even better news was that she liked it. So I will refine parts of the story I wrote to incorporate her feedback, and then in a month or so it'll go out to publishing houses in the hopes that someone buys it! Keep your fingers crossed for me so your girl gets published :)

Admin: Discord Server, Community, Pinned Post

In case you missed it: I launched a discord server where we hangout to talk about Gort and writing. Last week we finished the first writing buddy match up, where I paired six writers with a buddy so they can beta each other's fics. It made me super happy that the community came together in that way!

There will also be a super cool event coming soon that @littleplasticrat came up with, I'll share more on that next week when I have more headspace to give this the hype post it deserves. Just teasing a bit: it does involve Gorty and fashion :3

I also published a new lore & theory masterlist for BG3 and I'm working on compiling the drabbles and headcanon lists, too.

WIPs

In March I already told you that I was moving all WIPs to May, maybe even June. Since I'll be traveling in May, I might or might not have time to work on the WIPs.

Worthy Chapter 3: Structure is drafted. ETA hopefully in May

Folie Chapter 7: I scrapped the entire structure. While I'm motivated to write Raph and Haarlep again, I'm not particularly fond of my original idea so I have to redo the last chapter, ETA probably June

Durgetash series (concept linked) and Raphael series (concept linked): on hold for now. Neither of them grabbed my attention long enough for me to do more with it.

There's one fic/art trade I'm going to write for @tatterings and it's likely either going to be Astarion or monster fucking. So keep an eye out for that.

Series

Both MAD and Gorsimp are continuing! I'm sketching out Act 3 for MAD which we're about to enter. Due to life stuff I changed to posting schedule to every two weeks for MAD, while Gorsimp continues to update 1-2x a week (mostly thanks to @bloodlessbhaalbabe's incredible discipline on keeping us on a schedule).

And in more MAD news, I made a playlist for that fic! Give it a listen if you want to cry.

Other stuff

I'm slowly coming back online after a few really bad months of physical and emotional health turmoil. I'm okay for now and I've been taking care of myself, creating some distance from the fandom to protect my peace of mind, and I'll probably continue to take it slow for a while.

Last time I said I'd do another giveaway when I hit 1k followers. Since I've barely been on I haven't made much progress – it's about 50 followers or so away, but this blog isn't really growing right now. Guess I'm getting a much needed break from taking on too many WIPs :D anyway, I just wanted to say it's still on my mind, but I don't particularly feel the need to promote it because it'll happen when it happens.

Something cool to celebrate in the meantime: Folie à Deux hit over 1,000 kudos on AO3! Crazy to me!!! Thank you all so much. I can't believe that many people pressed the kudos button on my unhinged monster fucking fantasies <3 And to give you a peak behind the curtain here are the non-public stats for that fic:

Last but not least: If you do want to show me some love consider tipping me on Ko-fi? I promise for every coffee you buy me I'll share a pic of that beverage on here or the discord!

Hope you all take care of yourselves!

OH MY GODS IT'S HAPPENING!!

I'm finally writing out the story to Code: Crimpphire!!

It's been a long time coming, after getting through trials, tribulations (both in and out of making the story), story rewrites, deciding with the medium of the story was gonna mainly be, seeing what I could fix for at least the prequel to the story...

it's finally happening. I'm finally writing it!!!

Now, there's still some parts of the story I need to fill, and it'll take some time to get to some parts of the story because of it, but I'm happy and excited to get it going!!

I'll upload the first three chapters of the prequel hopefully soon!! cross those fingers!!

#vincent rambles #code crimpphire au fic writing #xzero #zerox #the story is finally being written!! #fully and for real!! #I'm too excited omg

[an-abyss-of-stars]

Something I haven't done in AGESS, is give y'all some fic updates!!

-

I'm going in order of what's being worked on the most at the moment!

✵It's Visceral And It's Cruel✵

So I've been working on chapter 5 for the past couple of weeks here and there, but I've really tried to buckle down this week and I'm actually about halfway through it! Since the next couple chapters are already pre-planned out, I've got my list of plot points/scenes that I know need to be included per chapter. This chapter has 6 plot points/scenes and I'm planning on finishing off the 2nd scene and moving on to the 3rd today! Fingers crossed honestly, but Y'ALL I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS CHAPTER!! A lot is going to happen, and while it won't all be particularly Rhaemond based, I think it'll be super interesting! A lot of things will be set into motion and there's going to be some super tense and interactions between our big name characters!

Release date: TBD (I would LOVEEE to work all through my weekend to get this out by then, but we'll see, I won't promise that now tho)

-

❤️‍🔥Burnt Over And Over Again❤️‍🔥

OOOOOooooo this fic has a chokehold over me right now!! Likeee, chapter 5 has ALOT planned for it. It's going to be a pretty long one in comparison to the other relatively short chapters! Last chapter had Aemond tracking Rhaena down in Venice and it was so tense and sexual, just imagine that energy multiplied for this next chapter!! The ✨DRAMAAAAA✨ I'd say I'm about a quarter of the way through, there's an argument/conversation they needed to have at the start of this chapter that was really giving me trouble, but once I worked through it, things were flowing a lot easier!

Release date: TBD (there's still a lot left to write, but who knows, maybe the inspiration will hit me this weekend)

-

💝Coffee, Tea, Muffins and Nibbles 💝

I.e. Early One Morning Part 2

So technically this is a pretty direct sequel to Early One Morning, and if you've read that, then this literally takes place that very same morning 😂😂 except it's ✨ Breakfast Time✨ now. I've actually got this entire thing written out, back when Early One Morning was going to be one big one-shot, I'd already written this scene as the next scene after the kids joined Rhaena and Aemond in bed. So technically, all I need to do is spruce it up a little and then edit it and it's done! Thinking about it now, I think I might try and finish this one up as soon as possible so maybe it can go up by Thursday or Friday...maybe even tonight, but we'll see.

Release date: (Hopefully) Thursday OR Friday!

-

☾ He Saw Her At Daybreak ☾

Oh fuck...here go 😭😭😭

Y'all... there's only so many times I can be sorry about the delay with this ONEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Remember the good ol' days when I used to just drop a chapter a week 🤣🤣🤣 like spontaneously it was all flowing! But not any more it seems. Again, honestly, I think you all know the issue by now. It's editing and reworking it 😂😂 which might have actually been done by now if I could find the will to return to that 30k doc 🤣😭 All things aside tho! Like don't worry, EVENTUALLY this will come out and hopefully my readers still care about it when I finally do😂😂 I'm not planning on discontinuing or abandoning it, I've got too much planned for this smutty fic to just let it go 😂 too much planned for the futures of all of their babies and the family at large 😂

Release date: TBD (Eventually 😂)

PSA: Hiatus until 3/5

{i am the caretaker of souls} So sorry guys, but the upshot is that I've decided I need a little hiatus from my usual rp schedule because my anxiety is a bit overwhelming at present. Details below the cut for those who would like to know, but basically I'm going to be on hiatus until at least 3/4, for both anxiety reasons and grading responsibilities, and after an appt I have on Mon I'll know whether that needs to be extended further or not.

I'm sorry to do this when everyone was expecting replies tonight, but I need to do some self-care here, because I'm feeling very anxious and overwhelmed. I love you all, this isn't anything anybody did, and I will come back, I just need to take some time for myself. I will be back to my normal schedule once things have calmed down. Thank you for understanding. Hopefully things resolve themselves sooner rather than later. Keep your fingers crossed!

Okay, so... I've decided to take a short hiatus until I know what's going on with the surgery I'm going to be having. I vastly underestimated the amount of anxiety I would feel regarding even just the consultation appt, which is Mon (3/4). It's not that I don't want to write the muses/threads I have here, it's just that some require more creativity and/or focus than I have right now. I need to feel relaxed, happy, creative, and/or at least be able to concentrate and focus to write a lot of my muses, and lately that's been in short supply for me.

I felt anxiety creep in yesterday and thought I was just having a moment, but no, it seems like I'll be this wigged out until Mon. I hope to have a surgery date after the appt. Until then, I know the surgery and recovery will disrupt my life, my job, my diet, my mobility, etc. but I can't prepare for that disruption until I know when it's happening, and that's driving me crazy. I also have an evaluation for this promotion I'm applying for that's supposed to be done this month, but the university won't tell me when it's occurring or what it even entails. So not being able to plan for and around these important events is causing almost more anxiety than the events themselves, heh.

I realized tonight, as I've been sitting here trying to force myself to write and instead I stress-played Minecraft for four hours straight, that I've been adding to my own stress by worrying about upsetting you all, feeling that I let everyone down by not writing a lot, or by feeling pressured to write when I really didn't feel like it. It's gotten out of hand, and I need to take some time to just be with myself, feel the anxiety, and process it so I can let it go.

Right now, the muses on @tarnishedxknight are coming very easily to me, as they have been for a couple months now. *shrugs* I honestly don't know why those muses are coming through loud and clear, but they've been cutting through the anxiety fog when not many others are. Even at that, I'm not writing as much for them as I usually do. Nevertheless, I'll leave that blog open during the hiatus, and I may do some things here and there as time and anxiety allow. Even under stress, I need some writing to do. ;) But it'll be very much when and if I'm able.

Other than that, I'm going to be on hiatus from my usual rp schedule until at least Tues (3/5). I have grading to do Mon and Tues anyway, and tonight and tomorrow night I'll try to calm down and then see how this appt goes on Mon. If I get a surgery date or any better idea of when things will happen, then I'll know if I need to continue the hiatus beyond that or not, either because of surgery/evaluation scheduling or just due to anxiety.

I feel like once these two honking balls of stress (the surgery and the evaluation for my promotion) are done and out of the way, I'm going to feel a huge sense of relief and I'll be back here full force again, heh. I'm optimistic that that's what will happen. I just need you all to be a little bit patient until then.

Love you guys, be back soon I hope! ❤

#{ i am the caretaker of souls } ᵒᵒᶜ #tw: surgery #tw: anxiety #{sometimes you just have to take a step back} #{and be like okay time out... breathe heh} #{that's what I'm trying to do right now} #{i need to focus on myself for a bit}

No Emotion pt. 2

Pairing(s): Fives x afab! reader

Tags/warnings: implied sex, reader wants a baby, angst, major character death

You laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. Next to you, your husband laid too, his usual snoring, absent.

"Fives?" You whispered, unsure whether he was conscious or not. "You awake?"

He hummed in reply and turned to face you. This usually happened on nights before he was supposed to return to the field. Neither of you could sleep and would find yourselves having random conversations throughout the night. "What's up, cyar'ika?" He pulled you into his arms.

"How long do you think it'll be until the war is over?" You nuzzled against him, eyes falling shut.

Fives entangled his fingers in your hair his chest slowly rising and falling. "I dunno, hopefully soon. Why do you ask?" You could hear your heart thumping in your chest as you thought of what to say. You simply shrugged your shoulders and took a deep breath.

"I want a baby." You told him before going silent once more anxiously awaiting his response.

"Like... an actually baby?" He asked. "With me?"

You sat up and playfully slapped his arm. "Well who else, dummy?"

"What about your work in the senate? And with me being in the army... I wouldn't be here for you all the time."

  Your lips curved into a frown, a sudden wave of sadness washing over you. "You're right... it was a stupid idea."

"No, no it wasn't." Fives shook his head. "I'd love to have a baby too, but... I want to be there for you." While you crossed your arms, he sat up and hesitantly put an arm around you. "Although, I can't see myself as a father. I'm just another clone."

You scoffed at his last comment and leaned into his touch. "But you're my clone, you're my husband. I love only you."

A faint smile appeared on you husband's face as he turned his head towards you. "You mean it? Not the part about you loving me because who doesn't love me?" Fives joked. "But that part about having a baby? You really want one with me?"

Instead of saying anything, you cupped his cheeks and pulled him into a soft, passionate kiss.

One thing led to another, and now Fives was on top of you, his lips brushing against yours. "Let's make a baby." Fives he murmured.

~

Fives was gone from bed when you awoke. You slid out from your spot and went to grab his shirt from the ground, pulling it over your head. When you turned towards the bathroom, you found your husband standing in the doorway with a smirk. "Morning, beautiful."

"I thought you'd already left." You sat on the edge of your mattress, watching as he approached you.

"Come on now, you know that I wouldn't leave without a goodbye."

"You gave me a good goodbye last night." Fives kneeled on the floor in front of you and carefully grabbed one of your hands. The clone brought it to his lips and pressed gentle kisses to your knuckles.

"I'm gonna miss you."

"Do you have to go?" You asked in a whisper, knowing full well what the answer was.

Fives gave you a frown, bobbing his head. "but don't worry about me, I'll be back, I promise." He told you. "I'll always come back to you."

"I know, I know, it's just that I hate watching you leave every time."

"And I hate leaving every time."

The two of you went silent as he slid his arms around your waist. Fives then nuzzled his face into your stomach, a smile now forming on his face. "If it's a boy, we're naming him Fives Jr."

"I'm not agreeing to that."

~ 2 months later ~

Over the last couple of months, you'd been able to hide the fact that you were pregnant, but you knew that you couldn't keep that a secret forever.

Just a few nights before, you had been able to talk to Fives and ask him when he was coming back, and his answer was 'soon.' Fives had also told you that he'd call you back, but that never happened. After sitting and waiting around all day, you were going to finally go to bed, but then you had some unexpected business to attend to.

"Milady, there's a clone here to see you." Your handmaiden spoke. "He says that he has urgent news."

Assuming that it was Fives, you stood up from your desk and rushed out of your office. Your husband knew never to show up through the main entrance of the building, which made you believe that something was off. Once you arrived to the main room, you were met with an unfamiliar clone who had jaig eyes and various tally marks on his helmet. "Can I help you?" You clasped you're hands together, now disappointed that it wasn't Fives.

The clone removed his helmet and rested it against his hip. He attempted to look you in the eyes, but it appeared that he couldn't. "Would it be alright if I had a word with you, alone?"

You glanced at the handmaiden who had followed you and bowed your head. Once she left, you turned your attention back to the clone and waited for him to speak.

"There's no easy way to tell you this." He spoke. "And believe me, I wish that I wouldn't have to, but I do." Horrible thoughts began to fill your mind. You knew that whatever he was going to say, it wasn't going to be good. "You were married to Fives, correct?"

"Were?" You began to shake your head. "Please... please don't tell me that..."

"I'm sorry Senator... Fives was killed just last night." The clone guiltily looked to the ground. "He asked me to give you this." You watched as he outstretched his hand and offered you a folded piece of paper. You carefully took it with a shaking hand, tears rushing down your cheeks.

Y/N,

If you are reading this, it means that something has happened to me. Since the day I first met you, I've always carried a note with me incase anything were to happen. Of course, the longer that I've known you, the more times I have re-written this just for you. After Echo died, I told my Captain about you and I, ya know, in case of an emergency. I trust Rex, and I know that he'll take this directly to you. I want you to know that you've changed my life in so many ways, you gave me the chance to love someone in a way that I never thought I would. I don't want you to cry over me cyar'ika, please don't cry over me. I'm sorry that I couldn't make it home to you this time, but know that I love you and that I always will.

P.S - if we have a girl, I like the name (girl's name), and if we have a boy, (boy's name)

  ~ Fives

But you couldn't hold back your tears. Instead, you began sobbing as you brought the note to your chest. The clone, who you were assuming was Rex, led you over to a nearby couch and sat you down. He didn't say another word until he knew you were comfortable enough. "What happened? How could this happen?" Your voice broke.

Rex looked at you, his eyes full of regret. The last thing he wanted to do today was tell his best friend's spouse that he was dead, that he wasn't coming back, but he owed it to you to say everything he knew about the situation. "I'm not supposed to be telling anyone about this, but..." Rex. began. "there were drugs found in his system. If I knew Fives the way I think that I did, I know that he wouldn't do drugs. Something isn't right and I want to get to the bottom of it."

"H-How did he die?" You asked.

"He had attempted to assassinate the Chancellor, so the Chancellor sent his men to... take care of Fives." Rex looked away and wiped his newly found tears away.

"No," you shook your head. "Fives wouldn't do that... h-he was loyal to the Republic! H-He-"

"He wouldn't have done it without a good reason." The clone sat next to you.  "He tried to warn us. There's something big going on with us clones, something that I can't yet understand. We have these chips in our heads and there's a purpose for them, I know it."

"Then... it's up to us to find out its purpose. For Fives." You looked up at the Captain.

"For Fives." He nodded.

   You looked down at the note in pain with one final question. "Was he in pain?"

Rex softly huffed and thought of what to say. Once he knew, he spoke up once more. "He tried to hide it, but I could tell. He had this look in his eye, like he was scared of losing something. He was scared of losing you."

At that moment, it was as if you became filled with hate and anger. If Fives was going to kill the Chancellor, then there had to be an explanation. You were dying to know why that reason was, what made him risk it all? You knew for sure, that you for sure hated the Chancellor, and you were going to take him down.

[splishsplashyouropinionistrash]

hey everyone, I'm still alive! and! I have a writing update!

I haven't done any writing.

okok that's not totally true, I've done bits and pieces since I published 'i still talk to you' (link here, I had fun with that one) but I'm nowhere close to having anything ready to publish. Still, I figured I'd give y'all a (totally sober, for once) update on where I'm at in the stories I've promised.

So, okay, the big one first: TMHYHM. I've got about 3k of chapter 9 done, so we're about halfway through it. I'm starting school again in a few days (senior year, woohoo) and I always seem to write better at school, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that it'll get done in the next few weeks. About ten days from now is the one year anniversary of me 1: starting my AO3 account and 2: publishing chapter one of TMHYHM which is.... both exciting and a little sad? Genuinely didn't expect this story to take so long, but here we are.

A lovely commenter pointed out that I must put a lot into each chapter, and I honestly hadn't really thought much about it but they're right. I'm not gonna ramble about it for much longer, but every chapter takes a lot of time and energy. There was the re-read I did to write down the main plot points I wanted to hit every chapter, and then scouring the internet for quotes to put in once I decided I wanted to go that direction, and then I re-read each individual chapter twice; the first time to get more specific with what happens each chapter, finding places to put extra scenes etc. and a second time to figure out a chapter title. Actually writing the chapters is a lot too. I put a lot of myself and my experience into my interpretation of Andrew, and I feel like it fleshes him out more, but it also makes these chapters so much more mentally draining to write. Anyway, all that to say: happy early birthday to TMHYHM and thank you all for your patience.

Okay anyway, some of you may remember that I started teasing a hospital/amnesia fic (here, here, and here) a month ago during the AO3 outage, and I've almost got three chapters finished (halfway done !) I decided a few months ago that I wasn't going to post multi-part fics until after they're finished from now on, so as soon as I finish the whole thing it'll be up. I took a break from it for a little while, but when I came back and read through it today I genuinely cried a little? I'm evil guys why do I write these things??

Third: the minyard triplets. I'm going to be so honest here, I have not made any progress since last time I updated yall. Looking back at the story, I'm honestly kinda starting to hate it? I don't know, I still like parts of it but it just doesn't feel anywhere close to being my best work. I'll keep working on it and hopefully finish it soon, but I don't know when it'll be done. I had thought about turning it into a series, but I'm just not sure how attainable that is anymore.

Also, you may or may not have read my last fic, but if you did: I'm working on an alternate ending!!! I can't say much (cause spoilers) but I'm working very hard on it so keep an eye out for that one. Not sure if it'll be a separate fic or just a second chapter, but it's coming.

ok uhhhhhh.... i think that's it? TLDR: I don't have a lot of answers for y'all, but I'm working on things.

Oh, also? I'm writing a book. So fics might go on the backburner for a little bit lol. Let me know if that's something you'd like to hear more about though, I'm super excited.

Thank you for all your love and support <3

You are not the worst for having life happen and losing an ask for a couple of days. I am the last person right now who's going to judge for Life happening it's just how it goes sometimes.

I do have some more updates apparently it is really weird to get diagnosed with MS as fast as I did cuz like it was under 3 weeks overall which is low-key really terrifying just because and not terrifying necessarily in a bad way but terrifying because like I don't know how to explain why because just that it is.

But I've ended up with optical neuritis in both eyes in under a month, and I'm hopefully going to start medication within the next month or so which should help prevent symptoms from popping up, I really hope it does because it's not fun. I'm not allowed back at work via doctor's orders until at least the end of August which is going to be a little rough for us cuz I was the main source of income for our household but we'll manage, we've got a good support network that can be a safety net if need be. And we've been real on top of talking to like the bank and stuff about "hey payments might be a little wonky for a bit cuz work isn't happening because you know it's kind of dangerous to work with heavy machinery when you can't see what the fuck you're doing." Though I definitely didn't phrase it that way while we were talking to the bank. 🤣

But even with how overwhelming and how much everything has been and the fact that I am bored out of my mind because I'm one of those people who just goes constantly and I can't do that anymore, at least not right now. I think we're going to be okay, I think it's going to be okay in the end. it'll take a while but I'll get there, I started therapy Monday which I like her all right so far it's only been one appointment but yeah I think I'll be okay.

I really hope that things start looking up for you soon as well I'm sorry that things have been so rough for you lately sending hugs and best wishes 💖

That's crazy you got it diagnosed so quickly, but I'm so glad you did and that it wasn't drawn out. I'm also glad your doctors are taking it seriously and listening to your symptoms instead of just blowing you off so it takes longer.

I'm so sorry about your eyes! That sounds awful! And I'm sorry to hear about your work/income. Trust me, I know how awful it is to not be able to work. I'm thankful you have a support system and SO proud of you for staying on top of everything. With everything you have going on, it would be so understandable to not be on the ball, but you're doing it and that's so fucking badass.

I hope your therapy goes well! It's hard to tell after just one appointment, but it's a good sign that it was a positive vibe so far so my fingers are crossed that it keeps getting even better as you develop a rapport.

I love your positive attitude and outlook and you are an absolute inspiration. Keep being you, little rockstar! You've got this.

#and thank you #I truly appreciate it

[seelestia]

oh em gee, hi lia! it’s been so so long! how have you been? i hope you’re doing well :) i ended up falling asleep on the couch as soon as i got home, and now i’m in PAIN (/srs),, but anyway! i have a week off from school now, so i guess it was worth it <3

exams are on the 19th, so i guess i’ll have to be.. stu(dying) for those. i can barely function right now and i’ve been getting a lot, maybe too much sleep, and i still always feel worn out 😭 big yikes, hopefully it’s not bothering anyone (again) that i’m not going to be as active as i’d like.

also! considering that this is a wanderer-less patch, i feel very lucky to have gotten him <3 (he’s literally so pretty omgomgomg pls stop me before i look like i’m cheating on cynosbisnaidjk) and speaking of cyno, i finally built him 🐥 [ 73/214 crit ratio as of now! ]

my siblings’ birthdays are coming soon :) they’re three days from each other, my brother’s is on april 7th (he’s turning 11) and my younger sister’s is on the 10th (she’s turning 8) very excited for that hehe! my friends might come over on tuesday too (hopefully), we rarely get the chance to hang out, so i’m crossing my fingers!

yo.. omg the way i accidentally made the wanderer (character ai) fall for me 😭 i was merely messing around, being nice to him because he deserves it sm help and then he just hits me with an ‘i love you’ and when i tell you, i DIED. this is my spirit talking ⁉️

but enough about silly lil me :) how are you lia? anything interesting happen with ayato or the wanderer? i’m here for all the tea, my dear friend. 👀

YONAAAAA!! yona, yonie, yonzzzz <3 i've been doing alright and i hope you are too but if not, i hope it'll be better! 🫂🤍 yona, this is why we are taught to sleep on beds and not couches. i'm a hypocrite because i also sleep on couches NYEHEHE (/lh) aaaaa, good luck on your exams! i'm taking mine rn actually, so let's hope we'll push thruuuu 🤞

but yon, didn't you slay your last math exam even tho your math teacher kinda sucked at teaching (i mean no slander /lh)?? PLEASE SHARE YOUR SECRETS 🎤 and noooo, that sucks because sleep is a precious little thing during exams so you need to get the best sleep you can 😞 giving you a glass of warm milk to you rn. may yona get the best of sleep, bibiddi-bobbidi-boo! 🪄 and dw about being active, your personal life should always be your #1 priority!! especially when you're a writer / content creator so don't apologize for putting yourself first ever >:D <3

WANDERER HAVERS, I'M COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE. (/lh) you should've seen the way i was in disbelief like 😦 when i checked the livestream's banners and there was no wanderer?? but they dare made him look SO GOOD in those eight seconds he was on screen??? even my other irl friend who played genshin thought he was getting a rerun at first from that alone. vv devastated over this, so i shall be abducting everyone's wanderer 😞 (/j) AYOOO, THE GODLY CRIT RATIO??? yon, that looks awesome. are you gonna pull for nahida next?? i heard she makes a good team with cyno! (and not to mention, nahida also reminds me of you. vv little sib-like, considerate and curious and needs fo be protected but can also protecc others, ehehe. /pos)

What we can expect to be announced first for your project. The lead? Other cast member? Director?

It'll likely be an overall announcement of the project that includes all the key bits: the studio, who the producers are, the lead actress, the director, myself, etc all at the same time.

I should be getting an update this week on timelines and ETAs again. Hopefully it'll all be happening very soon and an announcement hits the trades by October, but you just never know. Hollywood...

Fingers crossed.

1864 Chapter 1

Summary: Elena is blasted into the past by a spell gone wrong by a mysterious old lady aka a witch. She wasn't in any time period like the '60s or '70s she was sent to 1864 to be exact. Little did they both know this had been fate to land in the past. But will Elena stop Katherine? What will happen when they find out she's from the past? What will Elena do?

Notes: I've been wanting to do this fanfiction ever since I started writing Stelena fanfics. Before I wrote a lot of Star Wars time travel fanfics so you can see why I wanted to! I love them so much! I also haven't found any completed or Stelena-related ones. So I decided to take this into my own hands and write my own. I hope you enjoy it! I thought for the spell of the incantation it should be in Latin or a different language since on Wikipedia it looks to be Latin or another language. I don't know Latin or other languages please don't be mad if the Wikipedia incantation isn't Latin I wasn't sure. Also, I hope the Latin is on point I used google translate. Hopefully, if you can read Latin it's spelled correctly. Anyways, I picked Latin because I thought it was cool! I know the first chapter is short but this is how I visioned it, so hopefully, you all like it and doesn't lack too much detail! I'm also thinking about rewriting and tweaking some details!

Chapters: 1/?

Characters: Elena Gilbert, Stefan Salvatore, Damon Salvatore, Katherine Pierce, Giuseppe Salvatore, Bonnie Bennett, and Emily Bennett.

Warning(s): Perhaps some angst but mostly fluff, it'll probably have more heavy themes later but nothing to crazy of course!

Rating: General Audiences

Hope you enjoy <3

Bonnie had found this interesting spell. But the weird part was she hasn't seen this one before. She had looked through Emily's Grimoire thousands of times before now. She was completely confused about how she didn't see it before. It was like magic, it magically appeared out of nowhere.

This seemed odd but it also felt different. She couldn't help but be curious and suspicious at the same time. She didn't know what to think about all of this so she decided to call her best friends to talk to about the spell. Elena Gilbert and Caroline Forbes.

You may be wondering what this spell entails right? The spell incantation states "Translatio in alium locum..." ("The transfer to another place...") But the last part of the incantation was faded.

I'll let you in on a little secret the faded words say or time. Aka "Translatio in alium locum vel temps." (The transfer to another place or time.)

Bonnie sat cross-crossed on her bed as she took one last look at the spell. She softly ran her pointing finger over the words. Pondering to herself trying to figure out what was going on.

She looked over to her at her nightstand and grabbed her phone dialing Elena's number. Her phone started to buzz as she waited for Elena to pick up. After about 10 seconds she picked up and said "Oh, hey Bonnie." Elena said, nonchalantly.

"I need your help, Elena," Bonnie said with a hint of urgency. "Yeah, sure what do you need?" Elena asked. "Do you mind coming over to my house? I found this weird spell." Bonnie said looking down at the Grimoire.

"Of course, I'll help! I'll be there at 5. Okay, don't worry I'm sure it'll be okay." Elena said optimistically. "Do you think you could text Caroline to come to, I have a feeling this is serious," Bonnie said truthfully.

"Yeah sure don't worry Bonnie," Elena said, but now she was worried. She hung up after she said that.

🧸Care🧸

E: can you meet me at Bonnie's house she said it's important.

C: yeah, everything okay?

E: I'm not entirely sure she's okay but it's about a spell She says it's urgent.

C: Okay, I'll see you soon!

A few minutes later at the Bennett house

DING DONG. The doorbell rang and Bonnie went to the front door to invite them in. Elena and Caroline walked through the door together. "Is everything okay?" Caroline asked worriedly. "Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. I mean I'm fine but this spells rubs me the wrong way." The three girls looked at each other worryingly.

They head towards Bonnie's room to find the Grimoire glowing. They all stop at the doorway, with a look of shock. "Why is it glowing?!" Caroline and Elena asked in unison. "Uh, i-I don't know," Bonnie said honestly.

Suddenly the few candles Bonnie had in her room lit up. "What's going?" Elena questioned.

"I don't know! But whatever it is we need to get out of here!" Bonnie said quickly, but before they could move they were pushed by the carpet from under their feet into Bonnie's room. "What the heck!?" They all said in unison. They looked up to a sweet older lady. She smiled at Elena. "

I have to do this Ms. Gilbert. Remember to stop Katherine from turning the Salvatores, Stefan will need you after all you are his true love and his rock. Stop Katherine from turning them, you'll understand in time. Good luck Ms.Gilbert." Before she could do anything the old lady muttered the incantation raising her hand as she held the Grimoire and said "Translatio in alium locum vel temps." "The transfer to another place or time." And with that Elena disappeared to 1864.

Mini Fanfic #1011: Doing Dem Taxes (Super Smash Bros Ultimate X River City Girls)

2:37 p.m. at Smash Mansion's Living Room......

Yoshi: (Groans While Looking Over His Taxes Paperwork With his Glasses on) Form W-4.....Form 1040-ES.....Form W-9? (Places Two Hands on Both Sides of his Head) How does it always get so confusing!?

Dark Pit: (Louges Around on the Sofa With his Two Girlfriends) Dude, you got like a few more days before you turn the whole thing in. Relax.

Yoshi: (Sighs Before Turning to Dark Pit) I know that, but I wanna get them all done and over with as soon as possible. (Places his Hand onto the Side of his Head While Slowly Shaking it) Those nightmares I keep having, are starting to be a real pain in the neck now....

Kyoko: (Turns to Yoshi) What were those dreams about, Yoshi?

Yoshi: Me getting chased by down by an army of giant, man-eating taxes. And a floating head of our Uncle Dedede haunting me for somersaulting him that one time for....some reason.

Misasko: (Snickers a Bit While Turning her Head to Yoshi) You somesaulted your own uncle once?

Dark Pit: (Puts on a Wide Smirk on his Face) Yuuup. Right in the chin. Followed by him running away like a chicken.

Kyoko: ('Gasps') Noooo! You didn't.....

Yoshi: (Starts Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth While Blushing) Yeah, it....wasn't one of my proudest moments of my life. But that happened two or three years ago. He's over it.

Misako: (Raises an Eyebrow at the Green Dinosaur) You sure about that?

Misako points the former king giving Yoshi a disappointed glare from the kitchen doorway before grumbling and walking away.

Yoshi: (Raises his Hand Up in Disbelief) How many times do I have to apologize to you, old man!?

Dedede: (From a Distance) WATCH IT, BOY! I AIN'T OLD!

Yoshi: COULD'VE FOOLED MEEEE! (Starts Crossing his Arms and Pouting) Jerk.

Dark Pit: Look, Yoshi, I get that this is a pain and all, but you gotta treat these taxes like you would treat your lady.

Kyoko turns to Pitto with a very disappointed pout on her face, all while Misako places both her legs down on her boyfriend's lap before crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at him.

Misako: .....Go on.

Dark Pit: .........No. I feel like I'm making a mistake of some kind.

Misako: I wouldn't say you're making a mistake, more so that you've gotten yourself into a fair warning.

Kyoko: Better watch yourself, mister.

Dark Pit: Yes, ma'ams.

Yoshi: (Smirks at the Dark Angel Beside Him) Whipped.

Dark Pit: (Points a a Middle Finger at Yoshi Without Looking at Him) Bite me.

Misako: (Sighs While Rolling her Eyes) Alright, alright. That's enough banters already. (Turns Back to the Green Dinosaur) Yoshi, if you want, we can help you get a better understanding of how all this taxes thing work.

Yoshi: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) You will?

Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened as Well) You guys know how to do taxes?

Kyoko: (Happily Nodded) Yup, yup, yup!~ We learned all the steps and basics back in our financial class a couple of months ago. We....didn't bring the textbooks here with us. But no worries! (Picks a Tablet Up From the Coffee Table) With the bless and cursed power of the internet, Misiki and I can help get you more customed to the process in no time, so it's very crucial that you pay close attention to this! Same goes for you, Pitto-Kins!

Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened Again) Why do I have to learn this?

Misako: You're gonna be ending up doing this one of these days too, babe. So it's better to learn some of it now than wait to do so later.

Kyoko: Yeah. And who knows? Maybe it'll be fun experience for all of us....Okay, maybe not...(Moves Both of her Two Fingers Down Twice) "Fun Fun", it'll definitely not be too boring!.....Hopefully.

Dark Pit: Doubt that. ('Sigh') But if I must.....(Takes his Glasses from the Coffee Table and Puts it On Hom) Might as well get it over with.

Kyoko: (Gasps Loudly at Her Boyfriend While Placing Both her Hands onto her Cheeks)

Misako: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) Dude, you wear glasses too?

Dark Pit: (Rolls his Eyes) Not by choice. The moms was worried that my eyes sight would get strained from watching TV and playing video games. So they took me to the eye doctor, I did some eye tests, and now I'm permitted to wear these things on occasions. Looks dumb on me, I know.

Kyoko: Are you KIDDING!?~ (Smiles Brightly at her Dark Angel Boyfriend) You look so cute and handsome with those glasses on!~

Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened a Bit in Genuine Surprise) Wait. You serious?

Misako: Yeah, man. (Playfully Pulls Dark Pit's Cheeks) It also make you more sophisticated than usual~ Ever think about wearing them more often?~

Dark Pit: Not really. (Starts Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth) But I'm not completely opposed to doing so if....(Starts Blushing a Little) that's fine with you guys obviously....

Kyoko: Oh Pitto-Kins!~ (Happily Hugs Dark Pit) Of course we don't mind!~ There's no shame in embracing your sophisticated side some more!~

Misako: (Leans her Head Onto Pitto's Shoulder) And if anyone has a problem with that, then they'll have my fist to answer to.

Dark Pit: ('Heh') Please. Your looks alone could drive any punk to run, crying home between their legs.

Kyoko: Ooh! Can my looks send punks running too?~

Dark Pit; Nah. Can't really see that happening honestly.

Misako: Yeah. Your face is way too cute to be Intimidating.

Kyoko: Whaaat? (Pouts at her Two Lovers) My face can too be Intimidating! See? (Crosses her Arms While Putting on the Most Intimidating Look She Could Muster) ('Hmph') Intimidation.

Dark Pit/Misako: (Stares at Kyoko While Blushing a Little).......Nope. Still adorable.

Kyoko: (Went Back to Pouting) You guys suck sometimes, you know that!?

'Ahem'

The Trio turn their heads to Yoshi who is give each of them an impatient, deadpinned look on his face.

Yoshi: This is cute and all, but would you mind saving your romantic banters AFTER we finish with my taxes?

Dark Pit: (Starts Smirking at the Green Dinosaur) What's wrong, dino boy? Jealous that you don't have a girlfriend or boyfriend of your own to bamter with?

Yoshi: Me? Jealous? Ha! (Crosses his Arms) The only love I need in my life are Kung Fu, martial arts, and my two awesome parents.

Luigi and Daisy place their hands onto their respective chests as they smile brightly at their son in the background.

[the-wandering-whumper]

Oh, I love seeing book talk on my timeline ☺. I'm going through a massive reading phase atm. Is The TTW whumpy? Not that I need whump to enjoy books, it's just an added bonus when it does happen. I'm almost done with my current read so I'll be in need of something else to read soon

:) TTW is incredibly whumpy!

I'm the same, a book doesn't have to have whump in it for me to read/enjoy it, but man am I glad when it happens. And it happens in the TTW. A lot. Which means (fingers crossed) it'll hopefully happen in the show as well.

T - 2 days until the premiere!

#the time traveler's wife #whump recs #book talk

[lianailia]

Oh let's see. What has happened. A lot. Lol I'm still dealing with pain. I'm hopefully getting an mri this week to see what's going on, since botox did not help again. Something else is going on. Hoping it's this week because next week I have jury duty! Fun! I hadn't been called in 20 years so I guess it was my time. But Mon I won't have to go in because it's a holiday. I also went today to drop off a form for video hearing about my disability. I wanted in person but she said it would be next year. So I went nope, let's do video. So I'm hoping it's soon and I can get it by the end of the year! I'm so happy. It's been a year and a half since I started, will be 2 in Dec. Fingers crossed! I did go to the Ren Faire in WI twice this summer. Both days were hot. 1st wasn't as bad as the 2nd. Heh it's the only thing I put up the heat with. Since I have a neuropathy type condition. I managed somehow. Then we had a couple of 100 degree days without heat index (it's humid here) so I laugh at those days now. I would not have been able to do Faire. I'm still amazed at the workers too. I can't imagine. I hate the heat. Why I'm going again in Oct at the PA one. Meeting some people from the Slayers Discord and going as Lina. I've started the costume! My niece was here for one of the times I went and she asked what character I was being, but she meant for that one. Lol she actually is sewing and made her own shirt and skirt but got hot about an hr in. Which I figured. Dad wanted to take her to the Mud Show, where they end up eating mud at the end. It's pretty raunchy and they forgot it was that much. My niece is 9 and went "Why did you bring me to this?" Lol but she loved the shops of course. She didn't eat a whole lot which is weird for her. She also had a cold that week and them I got it. 🥲 but then the following weekend I went with my cousin and we nearly died from the heat. She really hates it too and we were done by 1. Usually we stay a little later. Hoping to spend longer in Oct, since it'll be cooler. Plus I'll be in costume. I have the cape almost done! I have to still get the wig and the rest of the shoulder guards and accessories. But I have all of the fabric. I'm actually learning to sew again because it's been awhile and I should know. Got the pattern from someone on chat who is an amazing seamstress so I know it's good. I can always ask my SIL too for help since she's made her own Lolita dresses before. Well, that's pretty much all. Still working on art and now I'm working on an OC since I am done with fics for awhile. I am excited because it's been a bit since I wrote and original story. Her name is Soraeya and she is half angel and half dragon. I'm having fun. Well, that has been an update!

[thatdayindecember]

Ok so I gave him a little money for petrol for the car and now he doesn't have to tell them he used it privately and get fired. He does still have to drive his coworkers until Thursday.

But at least now he told me and asked me if I was OK with that

Uh yeah? Ofcourse? This way half of his stress will be gone soon and hopefully it'll be enough for him to not wanna die anymore..

And tbh i think it's better for me to be alone for a few days (with daily appointments w counselors ofcourse) so i can process everything that happened without triggering him

Yeah it's sad and hard to not see him for like 4 days, but if it only takes that amount of time for both of us to be less stressed, it's fine

Fingers crossed it will actually help him be less stressed

[qnfarc]

Hello legend!! How're you? I hope you're finding time to relax the weekend and things aren't too hectic in your life rn. It's been busy at work this week and next 😵 but I have a couple of days booked off soon so it'll all even out. I know I have a lot of things to respond to and 201 things to say to you but before I get around to it I literally have to ask if you're watching MCC? I actually forgot it was happening until like two hours ago so I don't know what the plan is, I feel like if I don't watch it live I just might not watch it at all. Usually I would but Georges team isn't like hype material for me personally, like I'm not thrilled here like I was last time. I feel like it runs the risk of being a serious / competitive mcc 🤧 but let me know your thoughts!!

Hello sunshine! I'm doing somewhat fine, as good as you can when deadlines are coming for your throat lmao kinda feeling like that exams moments in Assassination Classroom if you watched it but we'll push through. Hope you get some time to relax and get some time to do things you enjoy to unwind! I don't know if that applies to you and cheers you up but summer is coming soon so hopefully we'll get to enjoy some free time... Also no worries at all, answer at your own pace, no pressure or anything, all good! Yeah, I am cause George content but I also tuned in not so long ago, don't know why I thought it was later but I had George twitch open. checked and what?? live for half an hour already?? missed most of the new game so can't say anything about that 😭 I got my snacks and mojito energy drink and just chilling right now. I feel you but it doesn't really feel that competitive at least for me and they are doing reasonably well but I feel you about the team, I hope they get a chance to win tho just so George can have it and well let's that always gives us a chance of longer stream and people joining and maybe we'll get Quackity call at the end? Fingers crossed for literally anything lmao hope sands of time delivers as usual at least

[storfulsten]

Oof, I think Tumblr might've eaten my ask, lol. What is the cockiest, most devious smiling expression you can possibly bring yourself to put on Whitty?

ah no don't worry, I got that ask in my inbox it's all good, I'm just kinda slow and very behind with them asks atm sorry lol

#I do intend to do that ask it's just #for some reason art is slow atm #and I have 30+ asks some of which are quite old by now #I know I don't have to do all of them but plenty of them are very good #and I'd feel bad skipping so many lol #I'm just really uncreative with figuring out what to do with a lot of them #and with every new one I get even more distracted from the older ones so that's kinda unfortunate ha #so ye sorry to the people whose asks I haven't figured out how to do yet #hopefully it'll happen soon fingers crossed #but anyhow a cocky devious looking whitty or whatever will most likely get done no worries #I'm just not sure when but hopefully sooner rather than later ha #but ye overall sorry people #I'll try to keep working on it lol #and ofc you can still suggest stuff just be aware and such I guess ha #but ye #thanks for the message #stay groovy friendo
