Part 1
Part 2 -
The vine momentarily went slack around Tintin's neck, as if not for a respite, but to patronisingly offer an opportunity for his spiteful remarks in response. As much as this man did love the sound of his own voice, his demands to hear the words of especially his enemies would far often outweigh that need in pursuit of exactly what he wanted and desired.
His throat burned, voice cracking in pain as he could somewhat exhale from his lungs, chest aflame with tightness and panic. His mouth was set in a line, as set as it could be with the proximity of this man to him. The eyes were unmoving in their direct eye contact, brow tired yet furrowed in bitter concentration.
"Perhaps before we met...or after we got rid of you," the reporter spoke with hoarse spite, regardless of the fear in his eyes and gut. He didn't really have much to lose, it seems, if a world like this was molded to his victims' psyche. He'd already seen too much, but it was a privilege at this point. Sakharine would not allow him to have such peace.
Those eyes in front of him appeared red and seemed to shine with some sadistic playfulness and hunger as the reporter spoke. The action of one of his hands into a slow fist as he felt the familiar feeling of his arms being pulled and now twisted back at an unnatural and agonising angle and pace to the point he began to panic, fearing he felt imminent dislocation. It took every ounce of Tintin's will to not cry out in pain, though the evidence of this manifested as tears spilled from the corners of his wide, unflinching eyes. The vines around his ankles wrapped around them tighter, more possessively, threatening to break them, and the one around his neck fell back, his privilege to offer responses finally silenced and denied.
One thing he couldn't deny though, was how much he was shaking with his breath coming out in chokes of pain and exhaustion and actions of trying to swallow it all back down. Even if the man wasn't right in front of him, his whole mind was a landscape that could be seen into and exploited. For once in his life, his real feelings were put on display in their true colours that he had never shown to anyone, not even the captain. He wondered if he could see or hear anything that he would come running. He didn't even know where he'd even ended up passing out, for crying out loud. He could be ANYWHERE.
Sakharine reached up with a hand up against his head and this time he flinched, feeling the vine press tighter against his throat and mouth emitting almost silent screams. His hand crawled up towards his head through his hair, those eyes filled with vile admiration and head tilted slightly in observation. He felt the familiar ache envelop his brain, a reminder of all his headaches that plagued him for days up until this point. A symbol of this psychological pain that now flooded the inside of his skull. Everything that was happening now just felt like blinding pain where all he wanted to do was scream, but this man reveled in not even letting him have that.
"Oh, what a shame," Sakharine drawled with mock pity, watching his prey endure this with not a single way out, "Your mind is showing something far better. You're in far too deep for any kind of cry of help for anyone. Not like the captain could even help you if he wanted to. He's most likely too drunk to even realise."
His voice turned cold, his grin not as wide but still showing those teeth. His eyes burned into him icily. "Not like you'd let anyone help you. There's a reason you hide from people. You've been a lonely boy ever since you were born and thrown into that orphanage. You don't want anyone to get hurt but you'd let a thousand men beat and drug you into unconsciousness before you tell anyone your real feelings. There's running away and then there's that."
"You can't fool me. Tintin," he spoke maliciously, grin arriving back again as clearly as it had gone away, "it was fate that you happened to hold that dear ship I needed. You wouldn't swap it for anything else. This wasn't just about mystery and adventure. You couldn't get rid of me that easily, not with that ghastly poor effort. You knew it. You belong right here with me. To me. I could give you so much more than anyone else ever could."
The boy's head was beginning to arch against the pillar, unable to tear himself away from it. His endurance with torture was a sight to behold, but Sakharine was more than willing to test his limits. A cruel excitement lit up in his eyes as he watched the tears running down the boy's face. There was that shark-like grin again, breathing against his face now. "It's too early for me to break you so physically. You're far too fun. We've got all the time in the world, so perhaps...a slideshow. Why not relive so many of your fondest memories instead?"
#the adventures of tintin#i feel like i'm reading myself too much here lmaoooo#this inspiration is the perfect opportunity for something like this#favourite films#stranger things#fanfiction#writing#tintin#favourite characters#whump#vecna#sakharine#ivan ivanovitch sakharine#fictional crushes#once again i get inspiration when i can't sleep and i need to binge write#been so restless recently#i hope moving offers more refreshing opportunities to write like this again#i'm having way too much fun with this i swear to god#captain haddock

"somebody call 911, shawty fiyah burnin' on da dance floor." -sean kingston
Pile 1 -
Pile 2 -
Pile 3 -
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pile 1: Show Stunnah 🌻
Overall Tarot Card: The Devil 😈
Channelled Song: Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson
⛽ The gasssss on you is....⛽
🚨🚨ALARMS GOING OFF. YOU SHUTTING THIS SHIT DOWNNNN. LESSSGOOOO 🚨🚨
First of all, you muthafucka's is FINE as hell! I'm talking about FOIIINNEEEE as hell. Body on fleek, face card never declines. As soon as you walk into the room, all eyes are on you and all your competition starts to die a little inside 😂 You are the talk of the town, the talk of every circle, babbyyy 🤤 But y'all been knew dat, 😏
"BEEN that bitch, still that bitch" - Megan The Stallion
Natural beauty with the confidence to match
Confidence of a lion(ess)
Honestly, physically, you got it muthafuckin' going on dawg, what the fuckkkkk. Out of all the piles, this one wins in the Looks Department LOL sorry to the other piles
I'm seeing a face that is so fucking beautiful and angelic. Forever youthful.
Your beauty never dies and it never ages.
I have this huge urge to gasp in awe! You make people gasp with your beauty, ermagerrrdddd this is too cute! I feel like I'm melting in your presence 🫠. It's like everytime people see you in person, you take their breathe away and all they can do is gasp in awe at your undeniable beauty 😂😂😂 it's so fucking corny bro, but damn. That was a channelled message for someone's fine ass out there. You got it like that Mami/Papi, *snap snap snap*
A literal fucking goddess/god. Like you make men want to turn all romantic and old school, writing poems and singing outside your window in the middle of a full moon & shiiit. Or for my men, you make a girl wanna break all her rules and go buck wild for you!!! Like this shit crazzzyyy!! But this is what you be doing to these people lmaoooo!
I'm sure you're a great person on the inside and all, but there is so much emphasis on your physique that I apologize if you feel exploited right now 😂😂 and tbh, you might know the effects your body causes on people so you might be a person with strong boundaries. But damn Papi, what dat body do? 😏
With the devil card crowning your reading, people are OBSESSED WITH YOU!!! Bitch, who tf are you? Why is everyone so fucking obsessed with yo ass!? Lmao
"I can do bad all by myself." You're very independent but you may have many friends too.
Imma just say it flat out: YOU GOT THAT GOOD WAP BABYYYYYY. THAT GOOD WOOD, ya know what I'm sayin' 😂 rumor has it, you can fucking werkkkk it. You got people THIRSTY AF out here, mayneee. Chilllllllll.
You got this hella chill vibe to you though. Like laid-back. Relaxed. Not about the shits or the drama. People can try to ruffle your feathers to get any type of reaction out of you but you stay unbothered AF and that's what draws them nearer to you.
You have a gift for social interactions. Most people have social anxiety but you maneuver and work the room with ease and calmness. It's very admirable.
So many people want to marry you dude, I'm not even kidding. But I'm sensing that you are just focused on yourself and your goals. Relationship isn't a priority in your life right now. But that also is what turns the thirst factor UP when it comes to you.
SEXY, SEXY, SEXY, SEXY, SEXXXXX-Y.
Rich girl, city girl, material gworl vibes
"You always got dem eyes on you" - people love to watch you and stare at you. Sometimes people zone out in conversation with you because your beauty distracts them 😂 you could be talking to them in perfect pronunciation and speed but they won't hear a damn thing you said lol I guess your beauty is deafening too 😂
As beautiful and as sexy as you are, you also have a tender kindness when you interact with anybody. Your beauty shines both inside and out and that's why you are the mf GOAT.
You turn heads every where you go. You got bitches jealous wishing they was you. Ermahgerrrddd, I'm getting a rush of energy from tons of people who fantasize about what it would be like if they had your life. Honestly, that sounds like I'm over hyping y'all, but it's the truth lol. Maybe knowing this information will help you see the beauty of your own life and appreciate it for what it is. Because from folks looking on the outside into your life, they would literally trade spots with you in a heartbeat. Heck, they are already doing it in their daydreams. Recognize that YOU ARE THAT BITCH.
You may come from a great family life. Or people think you come from a super good looking family judging based off of your looks alone lol
A lot of people want to be tied to you in some way. People feel that being connected to you gives them "brownie points" in popularity 😂😂 some people may try to befriend you for clout. I'm not even getting social media vibes, although y'all may be big on social media too. But I'm sensing like real life clout, which is ten times better than social media clout, ya feel me. It's almost like knowing you in real life makes people feel more important in real life.
Y'all are the IT GIRL/ IT BOY. Everyone wanna be you, do the things you do, talk like you, walk like you, fucking everyfannnggg!!! I cannot with y'all. You guys are unreal but thats why we are so fucking obsessed with you, booo. Keep doing you and keep being you 🌻
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pile 2 - Cutie Pie 🥧
Overall Tarot Card: Ace of Cups
Channelled Song: My Bestie by Lloyd ft Sevyn
⛽ The gasssss on you is.....⛽
🍯🍯CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE CUTEST FUCKING THING EVER 🍯🍯
Everyone wants to hug you, squeeze you, love on you. Stick you in their pocket and take you home. This vibe is so mushy and gooey!
Everybody's little sister. You provoke a very protective spirit in those around you and those close to you. You are looked at as something that needs to be protected at all costs.
I dunno what it is about you but people will go to bat for you no matter the situation or the time. If ever you are in trouble, you have a whole gang of people who you can count on to drop what they are doing and prioritize you. Even if they are pissed off at you, they would lay their differences to the side and come to your rescue.
You make people feel very emotional when it comes to even just the thought of you. You are so special to people I don't think you realize that!
You are that person in people's lives that they cannot imagine ever losing. Like an angel in disguise who needs to be protected from this cruel world.
You attract friends like flies!!!!! This pile is SOOOOOOO popular and you don't even have to try. You could actually be a more introverted and reserved person but constantly have a crowd of people with you.
Sooooo warm and soft. Feels like I'm sinking in an ocean of really warm honey. That's how you make people feel.
People LOVE hugging you, cuddling you, and feeling you. Your presence is very calming and motherly.
You have great motherly instincts and people trust you with their children and animals. Kids might naturally flock to you and easily trust you because of your kind nature.
You may only consider a small group of people as friends but there are so many people who consider you as one of their best friends. You may make some friends jealous because they envisioned some type of exclusive friendship with you. However, a lot of people need you in their life and so that's something they need to come to terms with.
A lot of people feel like they can confide in you with confidential matters, knowing it will be kept safe. You also give really great advice that helps people progress further on their life path.
You are a very necessary presence in many peoples life stories. If every human soul had a book about their life, there would be at least one chapter about you in multiple life books. While most people are only focused on writing their own book, they are scarcely mentioned in other stories. But you, you are very necessary in the development of other people's life journeys. Like you make an impact on their story for the better. Wowwwww. I can only imagine that this role comes with a lot of positive karma for you and your generations to come.
You beautify every place you enter, every floor you walk on, and every person you meet. You are a contagious ray of light that shines everywhere you go even in the darkest of places.
You very rarely compete or get jealous of people and that's why many consider you to be their best friend. They feel completely free to be themselves around you with no judgement, guilt or shame.
You are unapologetically yourself and it's a big turn on for the opposite sex.
Many people wish they could possess your unapologetic nature but they are realizing it is a lot harder to mimic than they thought.
"I walk like this cuz I can back it up. I got a big ego" -Beyonce
You been through a lot and it shows through how sweet and caring you are. And because you put out that energy, people wanna love you the same way in return.
You really tug at people's heart strings when they think of you. I'm hearing "a heart of gold and titanium". So valuable and indestructible.
You have been placed on this throne by a lot of people. Very very respected and admired. I'm hearing you proved yourself. Your true colors shown and they worked in your favor.
An example for others to follow
A true royal
SELF-CONTROL, SELF-CONTROL, SELF-CONTROL. You have so much self control and people are both envious and admiring that trait of yours. "The one with the most control over themselves is the one with the most power in the room."
You might be a very adaptable person. You literally can chop it up with anybody you want! No personality is too hard for you to adapt to.
You have such a knack for resolving conflict. You can de-escalate any situation with your soft spoken voice and level-headedness. Things always run smoother when you are around.
People take you seriously and really listen when you speak. You may not vocalize your opinions as often as others, but when you finally do, it shocks people, so they listen.
A deep well of wisdom.
Honorable. Highly respected. Highly trusted.

Pile 3 - LEGEND ⚜️
Overall Tarot Card: 8 of Pentacles
Channelled Song: One Call Away by Bina Butta
⛽ The gasssss on you is.....⛽
🥶🥶 YOU OUT HERE GIVING US THE SHIVERS WITH YO ICY FINE ASS 🥶🥶
BOSS BITCHHHHH. I see you focused on that bag and getting that bag!!! If you chose this pile, YOU LOOK LIKE MONEY, HUNNY 🤑
"came through drippin *drip drip*"
You are a hard ass worker. I'm getting strong energy coming from the workplace you work at. You got a lot of people dumbfounded at your work ethic. For some reason, I'm getting that they didn't think you were going to be the type of worker that you are.
You may be known as someone who bosses up every time you experience a hardship in life. It's actually pretty phenomenal to watch.
Phoenix rising from the ashes.
You are that one character in a movie story that never dies 😂 it's like no matter how many battles you fight, you never fucking die lol it's annoying to your haters but so inspiring to those who witness this inner strength of yours.
You are a LEGEND! Some people think that your life experiences are too good to be true. But they just ain't ever met nobody like you before thats why. I'm hearing that behind your back people try to investigate the validity of your story just to be humbled when they find witnesses who retell the same story.
People want to know the depths of your life experience. I'm getting that people view you kind of like Indiana Jones who is well travelled with many stories and adventures to tell for many days.
You inspire people to think outside of the box. To want more for themselves and be open to newer opportunities that can make them feel free and alive again. You make them want to explore life again.
You walk around like a large ball of life force energy. Anything within a 5 foot radius of you starts to be influenced by your vibration.
A lot of people speak about you!!! A lot of people have your name in their mouth. It's very positive though. I'm hearing a lot of praise, chanting your name. Celebrating you!
I sense you might be hermit mode or really just focusing on yourself. People can see the changes that are happening through your physical appearance . Your hardwork and focus shines through your countenance.
You have a lot more people who support and love you. Im feeling that for this pile, the support isn't as apparent as it was for Group 2. I'm feeling like this pile stands alone with lots of silent supporters. Something about you being very intimidating or being closed off to a connection is what's blocking people from showing their support but it's like they understand why you are closed off and respect your boundaries.
People feel like you are going very far in life and will hit it big in the future. They want to see you win and are silently watching until then.
The way you carry yourself is top notch alpha type vibes. Specifically for my feminines, this is so sexy about you. You carry this masculine energy in such a sexy feminine way it intimidates and submits even the strongest of men. Very BAWS BOSS like.
RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 🦁
BOSS, BOSS, BOSS, BAWSSSYYYYYY
"Dat ass, dat ass, dat ass, dat ass" 🤨🤨okaaayyyy, someone clearly has a nice juicy ass that needs to be pointed out 🤷🏾♀️
You must have a very strong presence in your work place because the energy keeps taking me to a work environment. Either that or you think about work all the time 😂 you really are such an independent woman. Some may call it hyper independent but do you honey. Set the standard as high as you want. Don't let their intimidated ass opinion shrink you 😉
Maybe you own a lot of businesses or aspire to own your own business. People see the potential for you. But I'm getting indecisive energy. You are probably really talented at SOOO many things and are weighing out your options. However, you know that once you have made your decision, there is no stopping you from reaching the top. Everyone else knows it too and that's why they are silently watching you.
You are a rare human. You have an imagination that is so active. Anything you imagine, you create in this world. You were probably a very imaginative kid and highly active. With how hard you work coupled with your crazy active imagination, you actually have the power to manifest whatever you want into existence. Maybe you are aware of that. Maybe you aren't. But channelling this energy feels very magnetic and strong. Keep your imaginations alive. Keep your dreams alive. Chase them.
People wonder how you gained such a bright imagination. They wish they could have that light that you have. You heal a lot of people's inner child by giving them experiences to exercise their imagination. Maybe you enjoy conversations about the trendy things from people's childhoods or you like to talk about the future a lot. You spark creativity and imagination for people and it gives them motivation for life again.
You lead by example. Lots of people are out here running they mouth but you stay steady on your grind proving your worth through your life.
You have silent supporters because you are a silent leader. You don't do much talking. You just do the damn thing and later on people find out what you did and are completely shocked.
You are a bombshell. Not only do you look great but you're like a ticking time bomb in people's minds. You constantly have people stewing over you and then boom, you do something that blows everybody's minds lol. I like this vibe. Very spontaneous and fun to be around

Okay so I've just GOTTA know... how the hell do you write the way you do?? I haven't been able to get sucked into any written work since high school, trauma brain and all. I used to live in books so it's been hell, but your writing got me back into reading, and makes it so I can get lost into that little world again, which I've craved but been able to have for like... so long. Writing is something I've always been into, but I let my fear of failure and need for perfection stop me. Just... do you have any advice for beginners?? It would mean the world to me, but I understand if it's an annoying ask! Thanks for reading no matter what!
Well I am just a mess reading this (in the best way possible).
First of all, thank you so much omfg. And of COURSE it isn't annoying! This is so flattering I'm about to cry my dude.
As far as tips on writing, I feel like I am not the person to ask because I'm just this little weirdo on the internet who likes turtles lol. But!! In an attempt to try and give real advice here is my response... and it got a little wordy so it's all under the break lmaoooo.
~Gin's rambling attempt to give writing advice~
Practice! Literally the only reason I can string coherent words together is because I've been doing this as a hobby for like two whole decades.
Also!! Read! Consuming other fics and books really helps. Sometimes you find a way of saying something that sticks with you. Sometimes you sit and think "I would have done it this way/said it this way." Sometimes you come out on the other end and go "Wow I am a hack that was amazing." Sometimes you finish something and go "Wow that was fucking terrible I'm amazing." Sometimes you read something and it fires off your brain, and you are left itching to write your own story. But however you feel, it's all GOOD FOR WRITING. It helps you grow! It literally helps you find your voice!
Other little things; When I write, I truly immerse myself. I am playing out in cinema format what is happening in the "scene." How is this person reacting? How do they look- down to facial expressions. How are they feeling? Is this something they would say? (would they fucking say that??? is something I think to myself every time I open a doc) And when I write it all down, I try my very best to convey that "scene" that played out in my head. I try to capture that character's voice, their mannerisms, their habits.
Does this even make sense? I sure hope so.
Also, flow. Make sure we're moving right along. Keep track of where hands, legs, and torsos are. If they were sitting when the scene started, and you need them standing to kiss or fight or do a thumb war, at some point you need to make sure you say they stood up. If a hand was on a cheek, it can't suddenly be on an ankle without telling the reader what happened.
I also just think adding little details helps with immersion. When we talk to people, we don't just stand around. We fidget. We pick our nails or scratch our arms or shuffle our feet. All those little details can add to that immersion (or I think so, I'm no expert). "He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck before saying..." - Wow, what an awkward little shit. "They scrunched their nose and gave a near-violent eye-roll" - Oh ok they are annoyed! "She shifted her feet and replied"- cool she's being a person, I shift my feet too, neato.
Anyway, nothing I wrote 20 years ago is as good as it is now. I'm highly convinced that I'll think the same thing in another 10 years, about anything I've published recently. But it is getting better, and it's because I keep at it. Having friends in the fandom and beta readers really helps. Make sure you find someone who you know will be positive but honest. And remember, YOU are always going to be your own worst critic.
God why did anyone ever let me have access to a computer. Why the FUCK is this so long? Does it even make sense? Jfc, I'm going to post it and eat a fucking cookie.
I believe in you anon. Also, I love you and thank you so much for making my whole week. I'm going to be so obnoxious about this shit, everyone expect to hear from my ass an annoying amount (kidding, but seriously I'm so fucking flattered thank you so much. This kind of shit makes me wonder what the fuck you're all reading because I swear I am just a silly gal with seasonal depression who needs a haircut).
((Also, anon, I wish you nothing but the best. Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, and know that I am sending you like a million hugs))
#anon ask#oh also!#write what you want#like- don't write what you think the fandom wants#write what YOU want to see#What YOU like#You're never going to please everyone#So just please yourself#wait that sounds bad#fuck it#sure please yourself whatever I said what I said

3 (also feel free to just rank the robins)
3. Who’s your third-favorite Robin? Tell us one thing you like or dislike about them.
Lmaoooo okay. Well! A preface is in order because I know people like to take things too seriously and when I say Damian is my least favorite I know someone somewhere is going to get upset so- I do not DISLIKE any of these characters. I find all of them enjoyable in some ways. There's just characters I like more than others. I don't hate your blorbo.
1) Tim is my favorite. He's confident and very sure of himself but has a more mild disposition and opts to play a mediator role when he isn't busy making the most bonkers too much plan you've ever seen. His comics are the most entertaining to me because he usually gets paired with someone who's doing something ridiculous and his personality tends to let people go "Yes and" right up to the point of being too much. Also he likes sports and I get to draw him in hockey jerseys. He's good support for other characters to bounce off of and I like him for that. What I dislike is that because of his more mild disposition he can very easily be written out of narratives or forgotten about.
2) dick for nearly the exact opposite reason. If dick is in a comic he is almost always the star of the show. The story revolves around him. It's dick and friends. He should get to be meaner. I haven't read much of the current nightwing run but my wife keeps up with it and dick is her favorite. She loves him. I have to rank him high for her. What I dislike about dick is that I NEED him to leave those women alone. Stop dating. Stop it.
2.5 not a robin but Cass goes here I think she's great
3) Jason. I like some of Jason's stuff and I dislike a lot of Jason's stuff. He's weird but also somehow I think he's the most normal one of them. I get frustrated because he has a lot of potential in character arcs but he's written so deeply inconsistently that it's difficult to nail down who Jason todd is and what he wants. (Gotham knights video game Jason is everything to me.)
4) steph. As spoiler and Batgirl she's great I love her but also wow holy shit she got some of the worst writing of any of these people. She constantly gets thrown under the bus and shafted. She's not very enjoyable to read because of that and also some deep inconsistencies in writing quality just simply depending on if the writer respects women or not. And that's not her fault but it does impact reading experience.
5) Damian. I simply don't find tsundere characters enjoyable. I don't like this personality type. Again- i don't hate him. I'm glad he's here he's a fun character. But I don't ever find myself actively looking for Damian centric comics. He's a good sidekick character when he gets to play that role. I hate the way some writers will write Talia because of him. I think it puts Talia in a very bad light and i dislike that she spent so long in the comics trying to distance herself from her upbringing only to turn around and basically just through bad writing do the same thing to Damian. I think it's poorly thought out and written by people who don't like her and don't respect her. (And again! I don't hate him! I've drawn more fanart of him than I have of dick and Jason combined!)

I saw the words If, Joffrey and Girl, in your previous ask and immidietly thought of And bless the daughter but fuck the family by dwellingondreams on ao32 that I read recently. And it was CRAZY GOOD??! The Joanna-Cersei interactions goes so hard. Especially with the whole younger more beautiful queen thing taking all she holds dear thing I just know internally Cersei’s probaly like ‘That’s Oomf but I low-key hate her 😭😭’
And I have yet to find a good genderbend Jon fic myself 1) Most of them are not my taste writing wise and 2) Those that I think ARE well written have Jon like you said act like a feisty she-dragon-wolf hot maiden who is hot or she’s just an object of desires for the men around her and by around her I mean any living man in Planetos ( i once remember reading a story where 14 years old girl!Jon was getting married to Oberyn and girl!Jon was thinking about how she didn’t need to shave because she had found or made a salve that dissolved all her body hair?? FORVER!!! and I was like ???? Then I continued reading of course ) And I have nothing against exploring incest in fiction ESPECIALLY in asoiaf like bear found on bear island…. But the girl!Jon/Robb thing doesn’t really hit because I think gay incest will always be better than straight incest,,,,Exemples : Aegon and Orys. Aenys and Maegor. Aemon and Baelon. Rhaena and Baela. The maiden vault girlies during the later years #keepingitlegal. Aemon The Dragonknight and Aeg-[GUNSHOT]. Umm what was i talking about again??
I totally agree that for a genderbend to stick the character should still have at least trace of what their original gender counterpart has like why is Fem!Jon not sulking , throwing little tantrums, being conflicted and feeling guilty every waking hour of the day :( like please make her a little bit emo please please please-
For ME! for a genderbend story to HIT, the character getting bended must have a 1) An Interesting and Very Fucked connection to BOTH parents that the gender thing can only worsen and 2) Also a Also Very Fucked Not Good Kinda Bad What’s Wrong With You relation to their gender and patriarchal norms in Westeros. Again, it’s asoiaf so it doesn’t really narrow it down that much( Mommy/ Daddy issues + not seeing women as people? That’s every bitch like ??) but I’m going on the basis that u understand my vision of like : Jon = decent/good. Theon,Joffrey,Maegor = GO CRAZY GO STUPID€/&/@1@
(Also genderbends only work on way for me because why would I turn a woman 🥰 into a man 😐)
Just read "And bless the daughter but fuck the family" and uhhh... 😵💫 Okay okay okay. Perfectly insane genderbend. Give it a read, y'all (and tbh all of dwellordreams' fics go crazy, so check 'em out!)
Warning: mean opinions incoming. I'm a nice person usually I swear, I just also enjoy hating sometimes. Firstly, I agree that most Jon genderbends blow ass. Oftentimes, "Jon" just seems like a female author self-insert for someone who thinks Sansa is too girly/lame. Which I wouldn't generally have a problem with (we're all just here for a good time, and one man's unbearable cringe is another man's life-changing magnum opus), but it makes it hard to find genderbends that do interesting things with the actual character, rather than just inventing a female OC and calling it Jon.
"i once remember reading a story where 14 years old girl!Jon was getting married to Oberyn and girl!Jon was thinking about how she didn’t need to shave because she had found or made a salve that dissolved all her body hair?? FORVER!!! and I was like ????"
Oh my god lmaoooo. Beyond the ridiculousness of that, modern values in ASOIAF fics is more than a pet peeve to me, it's like a... man-eating tiger peeve. For instance, I quite like "Adjust For The Wind", as it's what inspired me to write Sow the Tide, but it also has a bizarre bit about women shaving their legs & genitals. Like:
Southern ladies are expected to remove all hair from between their legs.
&
“If you decide to groom between your legs using a razor or a knife, practice on your legs first. You can also use walnut oil, or bandages soaked in ammonia in a pinch.”
Theon frowned. “I… see,” he parroted Mordane’s words. “And what do I use to keep myself clean… um, down there?”
Like literally what the fuck are you talking about lmao. To say that this took me out of the fic would be an understatement. I was so bothered by this that I tried to find actual published sources, but there didn't seem to be any particularly strong answers (besides that shaved genitals were more common among prostitutes). Also, for anyone reading, you do NOT need to clean inside your vagina, and your vulva (outside your vagina) should only be cleaned with warm water and a gentle soap if necessary. A strange place for me to make this point, but I'm making it.
I also tried a Jon genderbend fic recently, except fem!Jon had purple eyes and didn't look like Ned at all??? Despite that being a critical aspect of Jon's appearance??? I was just so completely flabbergasted because this author changed almost everything about Jon's appearance and personality, but somehow it's still supposedly Jon??? Like that's literally just an OC. Worse, of all things to keep, they stuck with Jon's canon age of 14 in a fic based around a romance with a 22-year-old man (Willas Tyrell). Maybe it's just because I'm 22 myself, but my immediate reaction was literally: "hm. I think Willas should be beaten to death." Like the fic itself felt tantamount to character assassination of Willas 😭 I was even bitching about this (wildly popular) fic on Discord:
I just hope to god the fic writer was a teenager, otherwise it seems like they just took GRRM's creepy handling of young characters like Dany at face value. Westeros obviously has different values, but it's concerning when the author themself seems to buy into those pedophilic standards.
GAY INCEST WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN STRAIGHT INCEST!!!!!!!!! 🗣️
lmaooooo. Also: "genderbends only work on way for me because why would I turn a woman 🥰 into a man 😐" <- REAL SHIT!!!!!!! You had me cracking up with that one.
Also also: "Aemon The Dragonknight and Aegon" SAY THAT!!!!!!!
Seriously. Let fem!Jon be a sulky, prickly, angry, kind, self-important little emo. Let fem!Theon be an ambitious, vain, insecure, proud, also self-important little bitch. A complicated relationship with one's parents is a plus, and a complicated relationship with Gender is a MUST! Bonus points if they're a crazy bitch in canon (Theon, Joffrey, Maegor, as you point out)!!! I've currently been thinking about fem!Maegor ngl... 👀
Anyway, thank you for dropping in. I'm probably gonna end up making a fun haterism server with goddcoward and some other homies, in addition to the more chill Quen sever. If that comes to fruition, join us in the silly complaint circle!

Girl say it louder FOR THE ONES AT THE BACK!! Azul is not a crybaby and his confidence is NOT faked C'MON!!!
Funny thing, someone told me they'd never seen an azul stan such as me who adored him sm, BUT I'M SORRY YOU NEED TO BE GETTING A CROWN FOR THIS, I am literally an amateur in front of you.
Also, I read that anon ask of yours where you both admitted to almost crying with azul, and now I feel kinda pathetic to say it hyped me up and I was disappointed it ended so quickly 💀 (also I didn't even realize he was crying until I logged onto tumblr wtf) it was more like "he's crying? is he? OMG AZUL IS CRYING?!?! LESSGO LMAO THIS IS INTERESTING" mind you I ADORE azul and I did even before book 1, but I just have this tendency to insult my favourite characters 💀 love-hate relationships <3
SPEAKING OF AZUL, I USED THAT BITCH IN MY ENGLISH DESCRIPTIVE WRITING IN MY EXAM. Yeah I used his personality, and mostro lounge's interior, and an angry client and some contracts bs💀 except I switched the tweels for a blue eyed woman u h. I ALSO NAMED THE AZUL CHARACTER JONES TF 😭 and he also had azuls glasses AND I WANTED TO ADD MORE BUT my English teacher isn't a boomer and there is a HIGH chance she'd played or HEARD of twst, so I didn't wanna embarrass myself. Now I hope azul charms my paper and I get a good grade sksjsjsj
[Reply to this reblog!]
I am so sorry this is so late HAHAHA BUT FKDFKNSDFKLSDF THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT and trust me, this may not be the last time I'll talk about this because who knows, something might inspire me to make a third post. But I won't try to bog this blog down either.
Anyway, onto the main anon, kjfsdnfkjdskjnjksdnjkdskf a lot of people have said that to me as well xDD I think I've gotten a couple of anon asks about it. I can't help but be loud about Azul here, he's my joy and light. But hey, loudness doesn't equate to how much one adores someone, I'm sure you adore Azul a lot as well (and please bug me about it so we can scream together, I need more Zuzu stannies)
As for the anon ask, ok I can't find it right now HDFKFJKSFKSD but noo don't worry too much about it. I know some Azul stans who also reacted the same way xD first impressions are first impressions, after all, plus not everyone will react the same way. Like ,, I love Riddle, but I was laughing when he cried the first time because the sounds sounded funny 💀 What matters more is understanding and the willingness to understand what's happening, why a character acted the way they did, and how they are as a person in general.
LMAOOOO good job anon, hope you got the grade you wanted. I've also used Azul in so many of my school outputs 💀💀💀 like, I used him once in a 17k word fic that I submitted in class HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHA I never got my grade for it but hey . it was worth it. I have a novel now that I could potentially publish if I just revise and edit.

Okay longer review for glass ch18 time :DD man what an amazing chapter. Got duped waking up thinking im gonna get crimeboys, and then i got both crimeboys AND sandduo
Im gonna skim reread it as i review
hES USING WILBUR?!?#$ HELP BROO ITS SO SMOOTH AT THIS POINT
There was like one chapter where i caught it and i felt so proud of myself, but after that i just get so invested that i dont even notice until someone points it out lmaooo
I think I did notice when it switched to Pythia, at least subconsciously bc I paused at it and scrolled up a bit to see if it'd always been Pythia but ig I didnt scroll up enough lmaoooo
Ohkygod he switches to Pythia the minute Phil enters the room ohkgyfo u cant be playing around with the narrative like this bee, u are way too smart wtf... I'm still in awe with how flawlessly you play around with the change of name. It's always intentional, and yet it feels so natural when you read it. It doesn't feel like a conscious decision from Wilbur at all, ughh it's so good!!!!
Goddddd I love codependent crimeboys so much bro ohmgydo and u always write it Perfectly ty amen
I think ive said this before but ur just so good at characterization man like helloooo
Each fic!crimeboys are so unique to each other, but you could remove their names and I'd still know they were crimeboys. They still feel like them and ahhh i love them so much
Also bro i totally called Phil waiting for them 😭 it made me so tense LMAOOO
Wilbur fr was like "We're quiet we r chilling!!" Like no sir. No u are not
Its the fact that Phil knew the answer to all his questions, he knew Tommy left him alone aaaaaaaaaaa
I cant do this man theyre all so wheofidbekdhdlkflfek
The fact that neither of them told Phil about the sketchy guy who saw Wilbur is making me so scared tho like noooo guyssss ur already in trouble, just be safe about it and tell the truth noooooo 😭😭😭
Phil is such a dad in this scene ohmygod
Also im laughing, their punishment is they cant talk to each other 😭😭
“Then just close your eyes,” Phil said, almost in the exact same way Tommy had.
Like father, like son [bawls]
Although the Pythia was desperate to know why Phil had paused for so long after seeing his face, he simply nodded, and tried not to flinch when Phil’s free hand grabbed his chin to hold his head still.
Not my dumbass's first thought being "HES HIS SECRET LONG LOST SON" LMFAO FHFJFK
Then i was like "okay no its definitely bc of his age"
Brooo i just want the moment where they see each other without him closing his eyes rahhhhhhhhhssss
Also
I realize i said i was gonna skim reread this chap, but nope im just rereading it properly lmfao 😭😭😭 slow and steady pfff
Its so goood
Now I'll have 2 chapters from glass on speeddial for sure
God every moment of sandduo in this fic is just a parallel of their relationships with their gods im soooo 😭����😭
When i first started this fic i was so certain that the majority of all Clara's things were just misinterpretations from her followers that got passed down century to century but now atp idek. Im skipping ahead and I'll probs talk more about it at the end of the chapter but like Kristin literally touched Wilbur- Clara's never gotten that close to him. Though maybe it's bc she's not as strongly connected? On both ends... Im rambling here as I theorize so I might not phrase this correctly but, like. My first thought was Phil said blood helped her connect better to the living world, so maybe that's why she can be physically here and not Clara, but I also thought about how maybe it does affect the relationship whether it's mutual or not, right? Cause Phil chose to be with her, there's trust on both ends. Wilbur got thrown into it, and maybe that affects the magic of the connection or smth. Or Clara's a bitch lmaoooo. I always appreciate seeing the god of life being the antagonist. I feel like it's not gonna be black and white though, things are not often with you hahahaha.
God that was a large paragraph whoops. I am certain though, that at least a large portion of the traditions they have (cough not being able to see the face cough) (just being treated as not a person lol), are things both misinterpreted or just plain ol made up to be able to better control the Pythia. Because, who wouldn't want to be able to fully control someone who can see the future? Idk how they'll ever find that out for sure but damn yeah, it's sad. Look at what you've done Bee, you've traumatized a perfectly good boy
Lmaoooo
Is there a limit to how long these things can get?? Spruce how do u separate them into diff parts, do u go by vibes or is there a limit LMFAOOO
Anyways
God. The way Phil knows what Wilburs thinking 😭😭😭 im gonna cryyyy theyre sooo ahdjfkfld
The way you describe all the tiny details, god, your writing feels so real. It feels like it breathes. I feel so immersed in it. I can not only see everything happening around me, I can feel it, as if I were there. I dunno, I just really appreciate all the tiny details you mention, and how you take care to remind us that his eyes are closed by describing the sounds around him, and how you mention him feeling odd when he winces bc of his face being numbed, like ik theyre not a big deal, but those details mean so much to me. They make everything feel so much more alive.
And the way you describe people's thoughts, they're so realistic rahhhhhhss. Your characters always feel truly human
I love your writing so much aaahhh
The cheer i let out when i saw the mate at their 2nd meeting when i read this chap for the first time LMFAOOO
It was at that moment vey knew they were getting a truck load of sandduo--
I had also already forgotten that Phil had told Wilbur he was gonna show him smth lmfaooo
I am starting to get tired fr (it's been almost an hour Oops) so i think i will pull a spruce and split this into two parts and continue after some breakfast or smth LMAOO (pst gang ftw 👆)
Dudududus away into the sunset
I was definitely debating whether or not to start the chapter with him using wilbur, but it just felt right so I went with it and I'm very happy with the tone it gave because it provided such a good tone shift when phil showed up and wilbur switched back to using 'the pythia'. it's such a fun narrative tool to use, though it's definitely a bit exhausting to remember every time i refer to wilbur in narration i'm making a choice with how i refer to him. fun, but a lot to keep in my head
ty I'm so glad my crimeboys feel that distinctive <3
lmao phil was so pissed when they got back. he figured a lot out on his own but wanted to hear it from tommy himself. they really should've told phil about the guy wilbur bumped into tho rip :/
yeah no phil is not wilbur's long lost father or anything. I only think those kinds of twists work in very specific stories, otherwise it just feels like a cheap way to be like "look now these two have a biological reason to care about each other!" and really gives off the vibes of found family being less important than blood family
the thing is regarding wilbur's relationship to clara is that when contrasted with phil's relationship to kristin, i want it to be obvious that it's a two-way relationship. you have to put in what you wanna get out.
LMAO spruce pls share with the class how you split up your asks
ldksjfkl aaa that's so sweet. I love including tiny details like those because I try to make my stories as easy to visualize as possible. I know that when I read something, I want to be able to see the scene perfectly in my head, so I try to emphasize the facial expressions and body language and the setting they're in and all that to really immerse the reader in it
tysm i'm so glad you enjoyed!

TGCF SPOILERS
---------------------------------------------------------------
How I'm feeling regarding the entirety of what I have read so far:
THAT IS WHAT THE RUNNING THEME OF THIS BOOK IS T-T LOSING MY MIND RN LIKE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS!! JUST. ONE. PERSON!
Xie Lian said, quite matter-of-factly, “Didn’t you ask me to believe you? I believe you. That’s it.”
ANOTHER THEME AHHHHHH LITERALLY CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF RN
Me saving you is just me following my own principles, that’s all,” Xie Lian replied.
HE SAID IT!!! I saw a lot of art and stuff about this and I finally got to read it! It was so sweet thoo lmao Feng xin is so savage tho
Feng Xin piped up. “You said it yourself, you very much wanted to be His Highness’ f-f-friend!
LMAOOOO MU QING HERE!! My man here really said ya, so plan A is DIE and forgot there are 25 more letters of the alphabet 😂
Mu Qing was so full of spirit earlier, but now his face paled. He raised his palms, closing his eyes, looking as if he was going to smash through his own skull first before he got burnt to death, so he could die more straightforwardly.
Xie Lian hastily cried, “WAITWAITWAITWAIT DON’T YOU BE RASH! I-I-I-I-I’VE GOT A PLAN!”
Mu Qing opened his eyes again. “WHAT PLAN?
CRYING IN THE CLUB!! I MISSED THE IDIOT TRIO SO MUCH!! THEY BONDING AGAIN T-T I can't nobody touch me rn I am SOOOO emotional rn
Loool them going from this:
“Will you both not air out each other’s dirty laundry at a time like this? What’s the point in hurting each other…”
To this:
Sweat rolled down Xie Lian’s forehead and he looked back. “Wait a sec, there’s no need to air mine out either?
Goushi leaves NO survivors lmaooo, def my fave dude ever
“I’m sure there’s at least a million vicious ghosts that have paid a visit to Mount Tong'lu,” Mu Qing said.
“DON’T INTERRUPT!” Guoshi exclaimed.
he ascended??? HUA CHENG ASCENDED?!?!? LOSING MY MIND (again) CUZ HE ASCENDED FOLLOWING XIE LIAN'S PRINCIPLES DJDNFJJF I CANT BELIEVE IT OH MY GOOOD
Literal chills at the whole battle going on but especially....
Since every one of Jun Wu’s strikes were aiming straight for Hua Cheng’s right eye!
NO ROUYE!!!
I WILL CRY NOOO PLEASE IM NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE DEATHS I CAN HANDLE PLZ NO ROUYE COME BACK
I-
“Xianle, did you actually believe that something like being pierced by the sword is something I have less experience in than you? Did you think I would care?”
Damnnnn I have no words
WTF?!?! DUDE JUN WU WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?? OH MY GOD?? I LITERALLY WANT TO PUT MY HAND IN THE BOOK AND MAKE HIM STOP
Jun Wu was expressionless, but his hand was ramming Xie Lian into the rocks like crazy, asking him repeatedly: “Does it hurt? Does it hurt?”
Guoshi exclaimed, “Your Highness!!!”
But, who knows who he was calling for.
AND THEN UGH WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER!! THIS!! IT'S JUST LIKE THE SCENE WITH THE STABBINGBSJDJDJDJF oh my God EXCEPT NOW HE KNOWS WHO HE IS AND IS CONFIDENT IN HIMSELF AND ITS NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE AND I WILL CRY OR SCREAM OR SMT AHHHHHHHHHHGHDHFJ
Xie Lian’s bloody hands pushed against the uneven surface of the rocky wall, gritting his teeth as he roared, “…IT HURTS!!!”
“WILL YOU CHANGE? WILL YOU CHANGE? WILL YOU CHANGE??”
It was as if Xie Lian had gone mad too, and he gripped Jun Wu’s arms, roaring, “I WON’T! I WON’T! I WON’T CHANGE!!!”
Even though the smashing was making him see stars, incomparably painful, he held this breath in stubbornly, refusing to give the desired answer at all, and cried out as he roared. “I JUST WON’T CHANGE! EVEN IF IT’S PAINFUL I WON’T CHANGE, EVEN IF I DIE I WON’T CHANGE, I WILL NEVER CHANGE!!!”
I'm just..... I cant....I love Xie Lian so much..this dude deserves the whole world and I'm just so emotional and proud of how far he's come and who he is as a person and he STILL Goss through trials and tribulations but look at how strong he stays in mind, body, and soul and the-
That!
But Hua Cheng gripped his shoulders. “So what? They’re just millions of fools, they’re all useless trash! But for you, one person is enough!”
One person was enough?
Xie Lian hadn’t yet wrapped his head around it before Hua Cheng pulled him close.
Xie Lian’s eyes widened.
Spiritual power exploded and rushed in.
Those two bands of fetters, that had constrained him for eight hundred years, had burst and shattered!
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING HUA CHENG IT'S JUST ONE PERSON U NEED
Also
IF SMT HAPPENS TO HUA CHENG I PROMISE YOU I WILL ABSOLUTELY BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF JUN WU I SWEAR TO GOD I CANT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED
but the way the power of love is what helped them win lmao
BUT I DONT HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS RN I CANT I AM SO EMOTIONAL FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS SCENE BUT I CANT SEEM TO SAY ANYTHING AAHHH

Prepare for a long-ass length ask:
Leo
YES. PSYCHIC/NORMAL 100%
"using calm mind 24/7" -> Love this
But also Belly Drum-
Lowkey picturing him as a Lioone for whatever reason-
Ney
Again, 100% agree! What else is there to say haha
BUT (as a gym leader) he has one random Ludicolo-
"Why do you have a Ludicolo when you're an electric type?"
"Because he's just a groovy lil' dude :("
Jordan
My bbg-
I'm so biased towards him it's pathetic-
Imagine: Flareon Jordan <3
Hidden ability Guts and a move pool consisting of Will-O-Wisp, Flare Blitz, Helping Hand, and Double-Edge
Works well with Poison Andy (more below!) and Grass Trent (more below!) to trigger Guts!!
And just like Jordan, this move set is all or nothing. Both Flare Blitz and Double-Edge have so much recoil damage, but Jordan is okay with being Poisoned or Paralyzed by Andy or Trent to boost the damage/recoil further.
And while he could open Helping Hand or WOW for a recovery move, how would he help Virgil?
The Team >>> Him. <- Or that's what he thinks at least...
Virgil
100% agree with the typings again!
"i realize this leaves him quad weak to fighting n fire" -> Which is why he's weak to Jordan haha
In a double battle with Jordan, I'd have him set up an Iron Defense first while Jordan burns with WOW.
Follow that up with a Helping Hand boosted Iron Head and it's over.
Luis
Nothing to say here when it explains itself haha
Andy
Love water type Andy!
But also consider: Water/Poison
Why? Andy is a nasty little bugger who will wear you down slowly over time. A defensive type but is capable of dealing big damage if you let him.
Imagine: Toxapex Andy with the Merciless ability and the move pool consisting of Baneful Bunker, Venoshock, Hydro Pump, and Recover.
I remember using a Toxapex like that in Pokemon Showdown. Always ends in a win or a rage quit by the other player lmao
Trent
Agree with you 100% once more
But consider: Remove Grassy Terrain and add Vine Whip for damage. Plus he does tend the whip the ball into the opponents box!
Him and Andy would be crazy together. It would be a stall-battle.
Sergio
Same as Luis haha
Millie
I raise you Rock/Fighting Millie
"how rock type gym leaders tend to be the first you face in the game as theyre meant to show new trainers the ropes" -> Yes but Millie as a Radical Red/Emerald Kaizo starting Rock gym leader-
AKA: Will shut you down before your nuzlock even begins.
Klopp
Something is telling me to add a secondary Psychic typing.
Too bad this means Dark type Pep beats the shit out of him-
BUT nothing that a little Destiny Bond can't fix!
Alisson
If this is based off of @liverpoolfanfiction's Supernatural AU (I've stumbled across it before!) then...
Imagine: Cutiefly Alisson
OR Mawile Alisson except instead of a big mouth, it's a big glove haha
I really geeked out over this (particularly Jordan/Andy as you can tell haha), so thank you so much for accepting my request!! <3
EHEHEHEHE MORE SOCCER/POKEMON CROSSOVER TO GEEK OUT OVER THIS WAS A FUN READ TY LUV
ohmygosh i cant BELIEVE youre a showdown toxapex user LMAOOOO. i love using toxapex myself but playing AGAINST it??? every time i see that my opponent has one i hafta take a second to think abt whether i have the time for this, cause i KNOW im not going anywhere anytime soon
i actually considered making andy a poison type like real shit!!! but i didnt rlly know to put it into words without making him look like a DICK lmao
N NUZLOCKE KILLER MILLY IS SO ACCURATE LMAOOOO I LAUGHED
im feeling VERY inspired to do a "INSERTPLAYERHERE's pokemon team" series rn,,,
thank you so much for this lovely reaction/ask i am LOVING geeking out over pokemon n football w you <3
#to all my moots who arent into pokemon:#its MY hyperfixation n i get to choose the movie#love you all <3#ty for the ask <3#pokemon#leo messi#neymar#jordan henderson#andy robertson#trent alexander arnold#virgil van djik#liverpool#liverpool fc#lfc#luis suarez#sergio ramos#james milner#jurgen klopp#pep guardiola#alisson becker

13, 14, 18? and i do have an extra question similar to 10—that's allowed—has any of your writing or that of someone else's stuck with you? a sentence or event or feeling?
I just answered all of this and it deleted itself!! AGHHHHH i hate the internet. Lemme try again but sorry, it'll probably be shorter and madder now!
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
I'm not the right person for a like medical mystery hurt/comfort. Too close to home on that one (sorry to all the people who wanted an angsty follow up to Alone, just not my thing). I think a lot of what I write at this point comes pretty easily. Feelings! Longing! Being stuck! All that works well for me these days.
14. Do you lend your books to people? Are people scared to borrow books from you? Do you know exactly where all your “lost” books are and which specific friend from school you haven’t seen in twelve years still possesses them? Will you ever get them back?
I'll only loan ones that I'm not particularly attached to. And yes, Michelle does still have my copy of Finlay Turner is Killing It, thanks for asking!! (BTW please read this book, it's so funny, it's about a mystery writer who gets mistaken for a hitwoman and someone hires her to kill their husband LMAOOOO)
18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage.
Since you didn't pick one for me, here's one from Advice that I think is interesting:
Kate purses her lips, trying to remember. Everything before feels like a dream, like she only woke up to the harsh real world the day the phone rang.
“I was young,” she finally offers. “I think…you never think it’ll happen to you, you know? It’s always someone else—someone else’s brother, someone else’s child. Every time I’d see something in the news, or hear about something happening in Iraq, it didn’t feel real. It was like seeing a car wreck on the freeway; you’re like, ‘oh that’s so sad, I hope they’re okay’ but it never feels like it has anything to do with you, even though you’re driving on the same highway. It was always like, ‘that couldn’t happen to him. He’ll be fine.’”
This is a much bigger block of dialogue than I usually write. I try to never go more than two sentences without a break for an action beat, because people don't tend to talk like that. People tend to talk in shorter bursts, waiting for a listener to chime in or nod, say "oh man," something. Monologues aren't actually that common, and I think they're boring to read. Kate in particular doesn't ramble, doesn't say much. Her lines tend to be short and weighty, all of her words very purposefully chosen ("I just think we need to keep things, you know. Compartmented." That's so short but says SO MUCH.) So here I was pushing myself to the limit of how much she might talk, especially in such a tense and emotionally fraught moment, when she's trying not to cry in front of Jane.
I'm happy with how it turned out because I think it's still one thought strand, not a ramble of several connected thought stands that would need an action tag or break for an emotional beat. She isn't changing beats during the monologue, it's just that this thought strand includes an analogy that she has to explain.
I went back and forth on how to bring that in, if this would be one dialogue chunk or a few, but ultimately this is where I ended up and I'm happy with it.
(If you want to get nerdy with me about thought strands, beat changes, and action beats/dialogue tags, send me an ask and I'd love to get into it)

me, a doc x tommy truther til i die, watching these anons like omg the girls are fightingggg
im just kidding, literary discourse and media analysis is ALWAYS good and i don't think theres enough of it in fic spaces (it's always "it's just fanfic it's not that deep" YES IT IS i love thinking and having thoughts about everything). so here's my opinion that nobody asked for i just can't resist LMAOOOO
the great thing about fiction is that you (both reader and writer) can safely explore and experience things that you otherwise wouldn't be able to, including things that would be dangerous irl. joel and doc's relationship was never perfect (even pre-outbreak), they lose each other for years and both go through insane amounts of life altering, major trauma, and then find each other again. of course the relationship is going to be toxic this time around! the idea that finding doc again would have been enough to make him overcome having his only child murdered in front of him is insane to me and im SOOO glad you didn't go that route when writing.
i get what people are saying when they say it's too much/toxic/bordering on abusive for him to treat doc this way. it is toxic and it is abusive but it's also a very realistic depiction of a toxic relationship ("even though it's bad and he's bad and it won't last i'm choosing joel instead of moving on"). he isn't a good guy and people forget that because he's a walking HOT SINGLE DADS NEAR YOU! porn ad but he's robbed, killed, and tortured people, some of which didn't deserve it. it's never confirmed in canon that he didn't sexually assault people pre-ellie and pre-qz when he was out there. i don't even think it's IMPLIED that he never did these things (other than hating david). point is, he kinda sucks if you think about it too hard. in a different timeline every therapist in the country would tell joel and doc to go 100% no contact and joel would have an abilify prescription.
but alas, this is fiction! these people are not real and these situations exclusively exist as a combination of letters on a screen. i know it's technically a joel x reader series, but am i the only one who doesn't see myself as doc? she's a whole oc at this point (side note: what's everyones doc fc? mine is dianna agron slay). i think that could be another reason people are hesitant with how joel/doc are playing out; they see doc taking him back without him doing much begging and it takes them out of it because it isn't something they would do. which is fair and i have no rebuttal for that! there's no right or wrong way to read. keep doing you besties but plz don't take back a toxic lover just because they grovel omg
tldr joel/doc = toxic but they aren't real and also they live under a fascist regime during the apocalypse where italian 4 cheese cheez its don't exist so cut them some slack alright if i had to live in those conditions i would be worse than both of them
this incomprehensibly long take brought to you by my love for literary discourse, my decade of experience in therapy, and my autism that makes me overanalyze every aspect of everything that exists :D
OMG BABES I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I love all the conversation around this fic and that people have different interpretations and feelings around it (even if sometimes I’m like “wait here’s why!!”)
But yes ultimately, these are two very traumatized, hurt people who are trying to survive and that drives soooo much of their choices.

Helllaaauur 😌
I have so many question I wanted to ask, but let’s be a little big disturbing before getting deeper in our 👹feelings👹
7. Would you cannibalise a dead body in a life-or-death scenario? Does your answer change depending on whether they're a loved one or not?
15. Is there a song, book, movie, or other piece of media that has drastically altered your life? What was it, are there multiple?
62. What topic(s) have you drastically changed your opinion on?
Ok bye 💕
LOL NOT THE CANNIBALISM ONE MEGGGGG 🙈
7. Would you cannibalise a dead body in a life-or-death scenario? Does your answer change depending on whether they're a loved one or not?
i think.... yes? idk the idea of Eating Human does not intensely bother me any more than eating like, animal flesh which is probably a strange take 🤷♀️ the main concern regardless of who i'm eating would be like.... did this person consent to me eating them lmaoooo. it might be a little weird to eat a loved one but i genuinely don't think it would bug me assuming i wasn't doing it against their will, does that make me a monster, idk throw some garlic salt on there let's eat 👏
15. Is there a song, book, movie, or other piece of media that has drastically altered your life? What was it, are there multiple?
mmmm i would say the books 'the girls' by emma cline and 'my dark vanessa' by kate elizabeth russell both did so much to help me contextualize and better understand certain past traumas at different points in my life. i'm not sure i could re-read either tbh 😵💫 but i am eternally grateful for their existence.
songs, there's too many to name.... we'd be here all night (wait we're going to be here all night anyway....) but quick hits from the boys: people, moonchild, paradise, spring day, answer: love myself, the last, the astronaut, magic shop, trivia: seesaw, 00:00, life goes on, mikrokosmos 🥺
62. What topic(s) have you drastically changed your opinion on?
oh there are so many of these. honestly as i've gotten older i think i've changed my opinion on.... changing my opinion lmao. i am very comfortable now with being called in on things and hearing people out when they tell me i'm doing something harmful, esp regarding things like racism or xenophobia that i don't experience firsthand. my ego has learned to be okay with the fact that i'm gonna get things wrong sometimes, and i'm a lot more open to listening than i used to be when i was younger and thought i knew everything 🤪
HANG ON I'M ONLY 28 WHY AM I TALKING LIKE I'M ANCIENT LOL
deep talk ask game for our indigo sleepover~ 💙

6, 20, 29, 55, 70 & 77 please my love 😘
hiiiii my love 😘💖 thank you for asking! and that GIF 🥺 you know me by heart, as it were! just look at their little SMILES, ahhhh, you are going to make me start the morning already in my piarles feels 🥺😍 but what a great way to start a morning, honestly: piarles and writing. perfection, if you ask me! 👌 <333
6. What’s the last line you wrote?
i see you, boo 😆 i see you. but unfortunately for you, the very last line i wrote was actually just one word, lmaoooo.
"Anything."
i feel like that's a bit, uh... well it could mean ANYTHING, couldn't it? (😆😆😆 sorry couldn't resist that one.) ahem, yeah, but because you gave me such a gorgeous piarles gif this morning, i'm feeling in a nice mood. so i will give you a little bit more context on the "anything." 😘
"If it's for you, my love," Charles says, his voice as warm as the gentle morning sunlight that bathes them both in gold. "Anything."
🥺
20. Do you prefer writing AUs or canon fics?
TOUGH one. currently i've only got canon or canon-adjacent fics published, but a whole lot of my wips are for total au situations. so can i be a true bisexual here and say... both? both is good 👌
29. What’s something about your writing that you’re proud of?
oooohhhh, um, hmm. quite the self-confidence question for so early in the morning 🙈 but, hmm... banter, i think. i make myself laugh a lot with some of the back-and-forths i've written, and there's something just so nice with looking at a line and feeling like "THIS. this is exactly what that character would say in this situation 👌" also, in all honesty? characterisation. i put a lot of thought into the way i write a character - the way their "voice" sounds, how they would react to certain things, what is and isn't realistic for them to say or do - and i think it shows in my writing, too. and yep, i think that's definitely something i'm really proud of. ❤️
55. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?
ohhh, this is a brilliant question! not the easiest to answer with only four published fics, but if i can cheat a little and look into my wips too... HMMMM. 🤔 well the first thing i notice is that they're all piarles 😆 so they all have that in common! haha, no, but to answer this question a bit more seriously... i like the description "dimples pressing deep dents into his cheeks" quite a lot, and i've used it a fair few times. also "eyes crinkled with laughter-lines." OHHH, and another thing i love to do is to show how well characters know each other by having them recognise each other's tones of voice or expression - for example, "that's Charles' bad idea look."
as for themes and common settings... well, does post-race hurt/comfort count? 💀 i think that's more ferrari's fault than a real pattern in my writing, though. jumping into WIPs as well - oh, yeah, i do have one. idiots in love. IDIOTS IN LOVE. oh my god this features way too much in my ideas doc, bahahaha - a quick word search in my ideas doc informs me that i have used it 27 times. "they're in love but they're idiots about it so they don't know it's mutual" etc etc. and you know what? yep, i'll happily take that as a pattern in my writing 👌 i am ALL here for idiots in love, honestly.
70. Are you subscribed to any writers on AO3?
hell yes i am! getting an email when one of my favourite writers posts always makes me 😍 :D very very much - like a little burst of "yay!" to take me by surprise every now and then. for f1, i believe i am currently subscribed to... you 😘 and most of the pss people, then also akirakurosawa, quietrumblings (whisperedwords) and illegalferrari.
77. Why do you enjoy writing fanfiction?
ah, the golden question then! why do i enjoy writing 🤔 i've always loved reading - it's an escape, of sorts, for when life gets a wee bit shitty, or when you just want to pretend to be somewhere else for a little while. also, fanfic makes me FEEL things about them blorbos i love: good things, mostly, which makes grey old life that little bit more fun and bearable. and writing is, at least for me, a natural extension of that. if i can't find the exact thing i'm wanting to read, i usually make a note of it and try and write it myself. it has the same effect as the reading, i think: a brief escape from reality. and it's also a place where i can control everything that happens, you know? one can't always in reality. but in your fanfiction, you are god. you can make them as happy or as sad as you want, and in turn process whatever emotions YOU need. it's the best, honestly.
huh, and that answer got a bit more eloquent than i was expecting for this early in the morning! but good on ❤️ i love fanfiction and i always will.
thank you so much for your questions, my love! you picked all the best ones, as always, and i had an absolute BLAST answering them ❤️😘 love you!!

babes why don't you think you'll ever be in a relationship? ur breaking my heart here reading ur tags
skip to the tags for the short answer lmaooooooo
breaking your heart? secretly in love with me??? 😧😶🌫️ but aaahhhhhhh 😮💨💕
i'm aromantic 😭😭😭 i'm not sure that i've ever felt romantic attraction, nor even know what it is, so it's a bit difficult to say otherwise and i just realized this year. 😔 i mean when i think about it most of the "crushes" i've had are mainly centered around sexual attraction/infatuation/lust or whatever you want to call it lmaooo....i care for the person, it just never dawns on me that i want anything with them in a romantic sense, i'm wayyy too nonchalant for that honestly and everyone deserves the best, which is most definitely not me lmaoo 😭 like i've never even thought about it because for me it's like.....i would only be in a relationship if i know for sure i could be committed to building a future with them for life, or honestly i would probably be down for a relationship if they wanted. like why not i guess which....is also a problem because then it gets considered as settling lmaooo which for me it most definitely is not..
the only thing that i might be inclined to say is slightly close to romantic attraction that i experience is limerence. but it's not like....from a place of love. 😭😭😭 now that i think of it it's probably like, having intrusive thoughts of a person. it's just all the time and as much as i try to stop i can't and it sucks because i do actually care about the person for who they are but obviously that makes it seem otherwise 😭😭😭
it's weird to explain. i do want a relationship and i do want to build a future with someone special where i could support their goals and they are able to be emotionally open with me but i don't have to be emotionally open with them and we can cuddle and watch shitty ass med shows with the worst fucking cpr but, i'm super picky and have extremely high standards lmaooo like is it really realistic.....girl........be real 😭😭😭😭😭😭 i get on my last goddamned NERVE
and then it's like, i already know that i'll be paranoid probably and most likely won't be satisfied because i'm not sure that anyone's love will be enough for me. (quote in my ul tag)
and at the end of the day (finally right? lmaoooo) it's like morally i don't want to play with or hurt anyone's feelings.
like all of this is mine alone to deal with and it's things that i should handle and work through before even considering a relationship but realistically i'm not sure that i can fast enough sooooooooo 😔
i'm sorry my tags probably come off as some edgy loser (which i am mind you ☝️😈) but don't feel bad don't let my tags break your heart omggg 😭😭🥺💖 i'm just some guy that's a son's son daughter. 😭😭 i keep myself in a loop of extreme self-criticism for minimal growth lmaoooo i'm okay (trust me 🫡).
maybe i shouldn't've said never but like....extremely unlikely. like...99% chance that i won't. love really isn't something that happens to people like me which is....ok! it's still a joy to see it happen for other people 😌💕🥰🤍💗💕
anyways fuck it we ball 🥱💯💪😈⏭️⏫🥶
#the simple answer: i'm a loner lmao 😔#if you're secretly in love with me....you've gotta go through a minimum of my 4 ghosting stages first 😔 policy y'know 😮💨#see how i slid that little promotion of my ul tag in 😏 smooth eh? 😌#minimum wait time for a response after sending me an ask is 5 hours lmaoooooo i'm sorry i really be laying it all out 😭😭😭😭#like girl 🙄😮💨 keep it simple and keep it movingggg 😭😭 but i can't 😔#also please this was kinda sweet 💕🤍 you really don't need to concern i'm just overdramatic i promise 😭😭😭😭😭#hope you're well tho thank you for checking on me 🥺 whoever you are 😭😭😭😭💕💕#sorry i kind of hate when people check up on me hopefully this was thorough enough of an answer for you 😔#this really is excessive omg. how to like.....socialize tutorial when....😔😭😭😭#and how the FUCK do i do a read more LMAOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#followers i'm sorry y'all 😔 one day i won't overshare so much on the internet to make up for my lack of speaking irl 😔#💌

Quick! Bonnie is being bullied, how would each of the characters react?!
Roxy: Laugh, unless it's homophobic. If it is, she'll proceed to "destroy the mans whole career" as the kids say
Monty: "Hey, only I'm allowed to make fun of him!!!"
Freddy: Make the perpetrator apologize asap and if they don't he'll make them feel the most amount of guilt they've ever felt in their lives with his Dad Powers™
Chica: Eat that person's food as revenge and act like it was a glitch <3333

Perfectly Capable
Julieta cannot sleep in Agustín's embrace, as she's far too consumed by guilt.
slight tw for vomiting and feeling so in pain that you can't walk and stuff.
Ao3 Link
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5
.o0o.
Julieta felt like a terrible mother.
Luisa was hurt, she had broken a promise to Mirabel, Isa was more than likely upset too, and here Julieta was cuddling with her husband and not wanting to see them. She ought to have been ashamed of herself. She was supposed to be working– she was supposed to be holding everything together.
…She hadn’t told him, but she had heard Bruno’s pleas at her bedside, though she didn’t comment on it.
Her family needed her. They needed her smile, her calm nature, her healing, her gift she couldn’t just lay around being sick and useless.
As if reading her mind, Agustín’s arms tightened around her and he brought her closer to him. His slow and soft breathing was soothing, and Julieta yearned to sleep once more, but the tight pains in her abdomen made that unlikely.
Julieta yearned for her cooking.
She yearned to feel okay again so that she could make everyone else feel okay again. She wanted nothing more than to walk out of this room, give her girls a big hug, apologize for scaring them and telling them that she was okay and it was just a rough morning. All she wanted was–
“Agustín? Are you up? I brought your- Julieta!” Pepa nearly dropped the tray she was carrying. Quickly, she set it on Julieta’s bedside table and kneeled before her.
Julieta wished she had at least thought to pretend she was sleeping.
“Ay, Pepa– the sun,” Agustín mumbled and covered his eyes. At least one of them got some sleep.
“Sorry, sorry, I just- are you okay? How are you feeling?” Pepa asked, placing a hand on Julieta’s forehead before quickly removing it and trying to hide her cringe at the temperature.
“I’m fine, Pepa .I was just resting a bit,” Julieta half-lied.
“Here- have some tea. I made it for myself and Agustín, but you need it much more,” Pepa held a teacup for her. Mustering all her strength, Julieta sat herself up and took it, taking a small sip.
Not particularly strong, and a bit cold but it was still slightly soothing.
“Thank you, Pepa. I would’ve told you but she wanted more time to rest,” Agustín spoke for her.
Pepa’s sunlight dimmed. “Oh, w-well that’s alright, you’re so sick, you should take all the time in private you need,” She smiled softly, but all Julieta could see was the pain behind her eyes.
“Pepa, I-”
“No, no, I should go. I’m sure Camilo is probably missing his afternoon snack, I’ll leave you be,” Pepa gave the couple a quick smile before quickly exiting the room, leaving Julieta feeling even worse than she had before. She set the teacup down.
“Did you get any rest, amor?” Agustín asked, kissing her cheek. She lied with a nod.
“Are you ready for me to tell the girls?” He asked.
Julieta looked down.
“Maybe later…” She said, guilt creating a knot in her throat.
“That’s alright my love, take as long as you need,” He said softly. The guilt tightened in her throat.
“I… I think I want you to get Mamá,” Julieta said. “I think I want to see her.”

All the Medicine
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Julieta awakes very sick one morning and realizes her emergency stash of food is out.
Many years pre-canon, tw for illness and fainting
Ao3 Link
.o0o.
Julieta Madrigal’s gift could heal any physical ailment in the village. No disease or injury was ever too much… if she got there in time, that is to say. But most times if she couldn’t, one of her special extra stocks of arepas or empanadas or hard candies would be sent out. All of this is to say, Julieta Madrigal handled everything thrown at her with grace and a readiness no one else in the family– save for Abuela Alma– had within them.
So the first thing Julieta Madrigal did when she woke up barely able to move from chills, back pain, and extreme nausea, was send Agustín to get her her emergency stash.
To his horror, her emergency stash was empty. He searched everywhere, under the cabinets, in drawers, in her storage baskets, in the icebox, in drawers, everywhere he could possibly think of (all the while trying his best not to injure himself along the way).
“Agustín? What are you searching for? And where is Julieta? She’s usually cooking by now,” Pepa startled the man, causing him to hit his head on a cabinet.
“She’s- uh- under the weather,” He said, rubbing the sore spot.
“And you’re looking for her stash?” She asked. Agustín nodded. Pepa immediately understood and began searching with her brother in law right away, but they quickly reached the same conclusion that her stashes were empty or missing.
“How bad is it, Agustín?” Pepa asked, checking one of the cabinets for the fifth time just to make sure arepas hadn’t appeared since she last checked.
“She hasn’t gotten up from bed yet– she asked me to find one before Alma or the girls woke up,” Agustín checked too, but knew all he’d see were empty baskets. A storm cloud started to form over Pepa’s head as her forehead pressed into worried wrinkles.
“Well… I guess I can start on breakfast for her if you tell her about the empty stash. Maybe she can make her own when she’s ready,” Pepa suggested, clearly not in love with the idea herself. Agustín nodded, going back upstairs as Pepa started to gather pots and pans.
“Julieta, mi amor?” Agustín knocked on the door, finding Julieta still in bed. She only mumbled in response.
“Amor, I think your special stash ran out. Do you think you’ll be able to make anything today?” He asked. Julieta nodded, sitting herself up carefully, trying to ignore the flashing pains down her spine.
“Is Pepa making breakfast?” She asked, hearing the noise from downstairs. Agustín nodded.
“I must’ve slept so late… I thought it was still early,” Julieta swung her legs off the bed, and after ignoring a chill or two, stood, leaning against the bedpost.
“Juli, if you still need to rest, you should,” her husband rushed to her side after seeing her struggle.
“I can handle myself,” She smiled weakly, knowing it was utter bullshit. Whatever this was, she hadn’t had it before because it felt her whole body was melting and yet ice cold with every step she took, her nerves being shot up her spine. It was new, it was painful, and she hated every moment of it thus far.
“Let me help you down the stairs,” He went to take her hand when a pounding at the door stopped his train of thought.
“Papaaaaaaa!!! Isa took my doll!!!!” Luisa pounded against their bedroom door.
“Did not!! It’s probably just lost in that giant room of yours!” Isabella protested down the hall.
Agustín sighed. “Isa-”
“It’s okay, you can solve this. I’ll be fine going on my own,” Julieta told him with a small smile.
“Are you sure?” He wanted to be certain.
“Papa!!!” The eight-year-old banged on the door more.
“Coming, mi hija!” Agustín called out, glancing at Julieta nervously, but knowing he had to address his daughters, left with much remorse.
Julieta was glad. She was determined to cook so that she could feel better, and there was no way she could feign wellness with Agustín right next to her. Frankly, she had no idea how she was even going to make it out of the bedroom, but the family and village needed her– needed her gifts.
