Yandere! Streamer x Streamer! Reader

A/N : I'm taking a break from the bullet point format and decided to try making a drabble instead. Huuge thanks to @bloozz for giving streamer his name🌷

T/W : Streamer reader, yandere behaviour, obsessive behaviour, etc

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

"Damnit..! I lost again" He let out a defeated sigh as he watches the 'GAME OVER' screen blinking at him in an almost mocking way.

The chat of his live stream went wild upon his fifth time losing on a game that he had been playing for hours by now and yet he still hasn't been able to beat it.

"Yeahhh, thanks a lot chat! those 'L's you're spamming are definitely helpful" Micha rolled his eyes at the countless mockery his viewer was sending him. He knew it was all jokes- or at least he hope it is.

Deciding that he needed a break from the game, he cracked open a can of soda and laid back against his chair, opting to interact more with his viewers.

He had only been streaming for a few months and had gained a pretty sizeable amount of viewer and fanbase.

Bloozzclues : You should check (insert your streamer name) out! They've beaten this game multiple time and have some useful tips you can use.

"(Y/S/Name)? I've heard of them before, saw a few of their speedruns. I never understand how they manage to get that luck based glitch to work! But thanks bloozz! i'll be sure to check them out after stream" Micha replied to one of the chat and moved on to the others.

Soupispretty :(Y/S/Name) is actually watching your stream rn lol

Micha choked on his drink as he tries to contain his coughs. He almost spat out the soda onto his keyboard and it would've been a nightmare to clean it up.

Scrolling through the main page of the streaming website on his other monitor, lo and behold, the (Y/S/Name) was indeed watching his stream. Specifically, the parts where he lose to the same boss every. single. time.

He felt his cheeks reddened everytime he heard (Name) laughed or giggled at him. They wouldn't just laugh at him though, they would also insert in some advices for him to improve on which made him incredibly jittery with excitement.

(Y/S/Name) also known as (Name) has always been an inspirational figure of his when he first started streaming. To be acknowledged by his idol causes him to be so overwhelmed, he almost fainted from how fast his heart is beating.

The chimes of his subscription's notif brought him back to his senses, Micha's chats were going crazy from the streamer's trance like reaction to (Y/S/Name) stream.

Kafkaismywife : is he okay??

Peachesandcrem : bro looks possessed💀

Collecting what little composure he has anymore, Micha decided to end the stream under the guises of him being exhausted.

"Ahem.. er sorry about that guys, i think the sleep deprivation is getting to me. So, thank you all for being in this stream but I have to log off now!" He smoothly blurted out, getting back into his streaming persona.

After saying goodbyes to his viewers, he clicked the end stream button. Alone with his thoughts, Micha switches the screen back onto your stream.

He knew from then on, his adoration for you had grown into something more. Something deadly and dangerous.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

(Name) let out an exhausted sigh as they had just finished another successful stream. They played horror games for hours and ended the stream by reacting to random clips their viewer sent via mediashare.

"I should probably take a shower and take a long nap right after.." (Name) thought.

Ping!

It was the sound of their notifications, (Name) picked their phone up and clicked on it. They were directed to their twitter where the person had messages them.

Michatwt

Hey! Thanks a lot for the advice you gave me when you reacted to my live

"Oh it's that streamer i watched earlier on stream" (Name) spoke outloud as they quickly typed out a reply.

(Name)ishere

No prob! Thought you needed some tips to beat the game haha

(Name) sent out the reply and Micha replied immediately. 'He sure is a fast typer' they thought.

Michatwt

This might sounds odd but would you be down to make a collab with me? I think it'll be more fun if you teach me on stream

They paused for a moment, thinking over their decision. (Name) have been wanting to make a collab stream before but never got to it. This would be a great opportunity to produce some new content!

(Name)ishere

Sounds good! We'll discuss about this collab later, I got something to do right now

Michatwt

Of course! See you later haha

Somewhere else, Micha was jumping out of joy and practically on his knees thanking the higher beings for this opportunity he's been given to be close to his idol, his (Name).

FWB prompt with Idia: "You did a good job... so i thought you deserved a balloon. "

I thought that would be hilarious, just gifting him a balloon for finally losing his V-card.

(fwb dialogues)

Idia opens the door expecting the usual rigmarole. You'll shuffle inside, tease him until his hair is burning pink, and then together you'll make a mess out of already messy sheets. Much to his dismay, that doesn't happen right away. Instead you offer a balloon with the words Congratulations! You did it! scrawled in swirling script. He blinks at it, bewildered.

"Uh... What's up with this?"

"It's a little overdue, but it's for you. You did a good job, so I thought you deserved a balloon."

Idia blinks owlishly at it, sorting through the week's events in an effort to determine what may have earned him this sudden gift. He recently beat his own speedrun record, but that's nothing new. He's always making and breaking records. He recently finished his first play-through of a new action RPG, but is that anything to write home about? He lost his virginity and casually fell into the friends with benefits route. He managed to get all endings on a dating sim.

He lost his virginity.

Wait. He lost his virginity. Idia did. Idia never-touched-grass Shroud lost his virginity, and it wasn't in some 2D porn game.

And now here you are, gallantly presenting him with a balloon to celebrate the occasion. Realizing this, he flushes vibrantly pink up to his ears and all the way to the ends of his hair.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! T-Time out!"

"What? Is the color not to your liking? I got a blue one because that's kinda your whole aesthetic. Or should I have gotten pink to match your—"

"J-Just what kind of achievement is that?!"

"A rare one for you."

Idia's not sure if he should feel humiliated, irritated, or a mix of both. But on some levels you're right. He's never actively pursued this sort of route. It was much too daunting even for an ambitious gamer like him. Despite that, you're here and you're sticking around. He feels bad for you. Are you doing this out of pity? Did someone put you up to this? Sleep with the gloomy Ignihyde Housewarden and I'll buy you a lunch for the rest of the month. That was totally the side quest, right?

"Well... W-Well, I... I did it, so leave me alone." He swipes the balloon from you, winding the ribbon around his hands. "S-See ya..."

He wasn't prepared for this event! Not at all! Dialogue with your fuck buddy is impossible! What is he even supposed to say? 'Thanks for tolerating me enough to let me sleep with you'? No way. That's mega cringe!

Your giggle is muffled through the door, but he hears it anyway.

"If you're not busy, can I see you next week?"

Idia freezes. You, someone sculpted by the gods and goddesses alike, want to see him? Again?! He's not dreaming, is he? This isn't a sleep-deprived delusion either, right? He fumbles with his phone, still gripping the balloon in his other hand, and types a cursory reply: yea sure wutevr.

He hears the chime from your phone next, and it nearly shakes him from his skin. This is actually happening...

"It's a date then. See ya, Idia! Enjoy your balloon!"

He almost can't believe it.

Hold on. Did you say date?

Overly long staircase scene acting analysis because I'm autistic

Watched the staircase scene again, because this is my life now. But I just cannot get over how incredible Joey Richter is in this scene. Every beat is absolutely heartbreaking. The anger and hurt in his voice as he yells "I'm going to single-handedly dismantle everything you've ever believed in," the way his voice breaks.

During the reprise he does a stunning job of "guy trying to be cold and intimidating but is actually incredibly sad and unbelievably angry." The way Owen says "a world without agencies, a world without spies, a world without secrets" with so much quiet contempt for the thing that ruined his life.

Maybe the best piece of acting in the entire show is when Curt steps up into Owen's gun and says "the feelings we had for each other." And Owen looks pained, he looks wistful for a second. His gun lowers to Curt's heart and his hand repositions like he's really struggling with what he believes he has to do. The thing he's been wanting to do for four years. But he just can't manage to pull the trigger, despite having ample opportunity to do so.

When Curt finally shoots his gun out of his hand and aims the gun at his head, the way Joey Richter plays Owen just feels incredibly sad. To me it reads as Owen, not being able to kill Curt, thinking Curt wouldn't be able to kill him either, and realizing too late that he was wrong about that. There's a kind of incredulous disappointment in his voice as he says "so what are you doing?"

I know I get ridiculous with my Owen Carvour headcanon, but this one scene just gives SO much insight into his character and motivations, without outright telling you pretty much anything. That's partially clever writing, but its also just Joey Richter absolutely killing this role, making Owen feel like a real person with real anguish and doubt and anger. Its spectacular.

And it's wild because Curt Mega is also really fucking good in this scene, but kind of in different ways? His delivery doesn't subvert what we know about Agent Mega, it reinforces it. Curt has been grieving for four years. He fell apart after Owen's "death," his alcohol use turning into a full-on disorder, making him incapable of doing the one thing he loves, the thing he feels he does best. And actor Curt Mega does an incredible job at conveying all of that without even saying a word. Curt's stance, the way he braces against the staircase just kind of numb with the realization that Owen is alive, the anger and resentment that he mourned Owen for so long only for him to be out there doing evil schemes. It's all played perfectly.

As an Owen Carvour defender I have issues with what agent Mega does here that are mostly subtextual, so I'm gonna stick to the acting choices within the actual text of the show:

The thing that stands out the most about Joey Richter's performance to me is the little vocal breaks and how raw the line deliveries are, but what stands out to me about Curt Mega's performance is his body language and facial expressions, which are just pitch perfect from start to finish.

Our guy is speedrunning the five stages of grief on that staircase.

First is denial and anger, kinda wrapped up in one package- denying that Owen has the upper hand, there's something about the stance here that feels like he's planting himself with a false confidence, like he doesn't want Owen to know how scared and overwhelmed and sad he is about this. How angry he is that his life fell apart mourning someone who isn't even dead.

Then bargaining- when Curt is pleading with Owen, telling him that he's sure the agencies can pull some strings and get him pardoned if he agrees to give up Chimera. It's hard to describe the expressions & body language in a way that doesn't sound kinda weird, but there's a flash on Curt's face that reads to me like "if you give up Chimera maybe there's a chance for us," which is of course cut off by Owen's anger. There's a desperation, and even a little hint of optimism- it isn't too late to fix this.

Then depression- the expressions here are just heartbreaking, as Owen pontificates Curt is just slowly unraveling, leaning back into the staircase his face just crumbles. Like every word Owen says is physically hurting him. Like he's realizing slowly that there is no going back, that the time they shared & the feelings they had aren't going to be enough. Actor Curt Mega makes so many interesting acting choices here that say so much more than you could say through dialogue alone. The way Curt steps into the gun very much feels like he is accepting that baring his heart to Owen could get him killed, and that it's worth the risk to try (damn, just gave myself more empathy for agent mega here)

And then- acceptance. After Curt has his big moment of vulnerability, appealing to Owen's memories of their time together, and Owen rejects him by telling him to move on, Curt accepts that he has to kill Owen. It reads to me like he isn't doing it to save the world (or at least not exclusively for that) he's doing it to save himself. To remove the spectre of Owen that has been haunting him for the last four years. That as long as Owen is alive he will be haunting Curt.

(As an Owen Carvour defender I have to point out that Owen is *disarmed* at this point, so I personally have a whole big rant I could make but this shit is too long already)

Again it's weird to describe someone's facial expressions and body language, but all of the emotions you can infer from this scene are down to just great acting. Two really good actors doing a well-written scene spectacularly. As good as the rest of the show is- and its very good- this scene is why there's still an active fanbase for a comedy spy parody musical, still making art and writing fanfiction and doing edits and memes about the relationship between Owen Carvour and Agent Curt Mega nearly eight years later.

I love watching videos about speedrun skips in p5 royal bc it's so fun to imagine how angry akechi would get about them

like. imagine: you're akechi. you've just managed to blackmail your way into being a phantom thief. your plan is going perfectly. all you need to do now is finish sae's palace with them and set up your betrayal. however, you're also finding out that they knew a lot more about some parts of the metaverse than you did, a fact that is simultaneously interesting and completely infuriating. how dare this piece of attic trash know more about the metaverse than you do?? you've been doing this shit for years!!

so you're in sae's palace with them one day, and say there's a problem with a locked door or something. it's fine, not a big deal! you'll find a way around it eventually. but then joker's like "no no, don't worry guys, I've got this one." and everyone else gets super excited and you don't know why.

and then joker. this asshole. just. charges straight at a random shadow. no warning, no explanation. and you shout to him in confusion but he keeps going. and he jumps straight into the spot where the shadow is, but instead of getting ambushed like a normal person, he's suddenly just pushed halfway into the ground. his legs have disappeared into the floor, and somehow he's fine with that. everyone's acting like this is normal. you are losing your goddamn mind.

and then he just starts running around in a circle and slowly sinking deeper into the ground like he's getting pulled down a drain, until suddenly he's on the other side and you and the thieves are being pulled down there too. and you're all just. in the void. and joker is running around and gets to the other side of the door and everyone is following him and you are LIVID.

you cannot tell me akechi wouldn't lose his mind about this for days. he would be so unbelievably pissed. no one ever told him you could just clip through walls in the metaverse!! how the fuck could joker have just figured that shit out!! he asks morgana about it later, to see if that's just another thing he taught them at the beginning, but nope, joker figured it out all by himself, and that just makes it worse. but he can't let his anger about that slip until later bc no one's supposed to know about his experience with the metaverse, so he just spends weeks and weeks silently seething and wondering what other bullshit metaverse secrets joker has. joker is fully aware of akechi's fury and thinks it's hilarious

since i'm a day late i am speedrunning writing day 2 so i don't fall behind HAHA so this is @steddie-week day 2: bittersweet

<- day one

--

steve tapes shut a cardboard box of belongings, and takes a deep breath. he is determined to keep it together until eddie's gone. he has to.

"stevie, be honest with me. should i take the guitar covered in upside down goo with me to college?" eddie asks him from the doorway, holding up said guitar and frowning at it intensely.

steve lets out a little giggle, and smiles fondly at his boyfriend.

"eds, be honest with me. would you be able to let yourself leave it here?" he retorts, and eddie mutters something to himself, then realises steve's words and points at him accusingly.

"don't call her an it!"

and with that eddie is off down the hall and yelling at wayne to leave space in the van for his guitar, and steve lets his smile fall as he's alone with eddie's box of clothes.

he's happy for eddie, he really is. he finally managed to graduate, and got into a music programme at a college an hour and a half away. steve has been so proud of eddie ever since he admitted to him in a hushed whisper at 3am that he had let himself hope this time, had applied to some college courses. and that pride had only grown since eddie got the letter saying he got in.

but with that pride and happiness, he's also feeling sad. he and eddie have only been together for a few months. it took them a bit after the fourth coming of the apocalypse to get their shit together and start dating, but steve can't remember what life looks like without eddie by his side every day.

admittedly, they're a little codependent, but steve's scared. they're not breaking up or anything, and have committed already to a weekend schedule where one week steve drives to see eddie, and the next week eddie drives to see steve, but steve's still feeling things about the whole thing.

he just doesn't want to bring eddie down. he's so happy today, steve's never seen his boyfriend so full of self-pride. he can't be the one to ruin that.

steve hears a gentle knocking sound, and looks up to see eddie giving him a meaningful look. he's leaning against his door frame, all his weight on one foot, so steve figures he's been there for at least ten seconds, watching him look all wistful and pathetic.

"hey! finished taping up this box." he decides to try and ignore the look on eddie's face, but eddie's not having it at all.

he pushes off the doorframe and comes to sit next to steve on the edge of his stripped-bare bed.

"what's with the face, sweetheart?" eddie asks him, voice softer than usual. steve just shakes his head.

"nothing, just.. you know. you're leaving?" he stops talking for a second, lets out a long sigh, and then continues, "i don't know, it suddenly hit me you're not gonna be here a lot of the time."

eddie hums at his words, lets the confession sit there in the silence for a moment, and then shuffles closer to steve and wraps both arms around him, pushing the box of clothes onto the floor.

"now i know my boyfriend didn't just dismiss his very valid feelings as 'nothing', because that would be obscene." eddie murmurs into steve's ear from where he's settled his chin on his shoulder.

"okay, i know it's not nothing. i just don't want to bring the mood down. you're so happy, i can't ruin that."

"you having feelings doesn't ruin my day. if anything, i'm kind of glad you're sad about me leaving. does that make me an asshole?" eddie confesses, and steve gently nudges eddie off his shoulder so he can lean back and look at him in the eyes, confused.

"what do you mean?"

"you being sad means you're gonna miss me. and i sure as hell am gonna miss you, so much. so.. i don't know. it's validating?" eddie tries to explain, and then starts tripping over his words as steve doesn't say anything in response, "not that i want you to be sad! i don't know! feelings are weird and they don't make sense i just know that i'm gonna miss you like hell and-"

steve cuts eddie off with a searing kiss, and then lets their gentle hug continue.

"i'm kinda glad you're gonna miss me, too." he admits, and then they start chuckling to themselves at the slight absurdity of their conversation. they both knew they're going to miss each other, but it was nice to hear it out loud.

"that better not have been my goodbye kiss." eddie says after a few seconds, and steve makes a noise like he's not sure if he should be offended.

"i'm literally driving with you to help you unpack in your dorm."

"i'm just saying! if that was my goodbye kiss i want a refund and a redo because i know you can do better, harrington."

steve lets his forehead fall onto eddie's shoulder as he giggles to himself.

"you're so weird, munson."

"i know." they let the silence sit again for a minute, and then eddie dramatically gets up and puts both his hands on his hips, "right, these boxes aren't gonna walk themselves to the car. let's go, mister jock."

why Du Cheng can't hold a grudge: a little  猎罪图鉴 | Under the Skin meta

When Shen Yi first joins the Beijiang City precinct, Du Cheng can't stand him. Not only is he still pissed off about Tragic Backstory, but he doesn't believe a sketch artist can hold any real value, especially not in our era of policing via surveillance. In another drama, he might have continued to nurse his animosity for the duration of the season. But there's one moment very early on which expresses Du Cheng's whole character so succinctly that you know he'll very soon give it up, and quite quickly succumb to Shen Yi's charms usefulness.

First, though, he stomps into Bureau Chief Zhang's office pitching a fit about Shen Yi, of all people, occupying the late Captain Lei's office. But Zhang-ju is not a woman to be messed with. She promptly calls his bluff.

Du Cheng, still hacked off, doubles down. He throws his badge on her desk. Fine! Fuck being a cop! He'll deliver pizzas! Anything, not to have to work with THAT VERY PRETTY GUY.

But then Jiang Feng comes to the door to announce that a body's dropped. Try to sound a little less thrilled, please, Jiang Feng.

A murder you say??? This is Du Cheng catnip. Can he hold out?

Look at his big dumb head swiveling around helplessly, like someone's just announced there's free cake in the break room.

Zhang-ju is canny as fuck, though. She looks down at his badge and idly wonders aloud who's going to catch this one. No idea really. Who could it possibly be.

At this point, Du Cheng has managed not to be a police officer for a whole fifteen seconds.

UGH FINE GIVE ME MY BADGE BACK YOU WIN. But Zhang-ju has not finished winning.

(This woman is a mother of four or I will eat my laptop.)

Du Cheng has to pretend to think about this for another whole three seconds or so.

UGH FINE JUST GIVE IT BACK I'LL TAKE HIM WITH ME OKAY? OKAY???

(And then they proceed to drive off without him anyway, so that our little hero must ride to the crime scene alone on his bicycle. But the ways in which Shen Yi returns everyone's cold shoulder with this kind of serene tai-chi-like nonresistance is another meta entirely.)

All of this underscores two things: 1) Du Cheng's compulsive need to clear cases himself, and 2) his imminent practicality about so doing. When it turns out that Shen Yi is actually incredibly useful, Du Cheng stows his shit with remarkable rapidity and they do an enemies-to-friends speedrun in like three episodes, because nothing else matters to Du Cheng like solving crimes. It's truly the way to his heart. And when Shen Yi gets captured by Cai Dong in episode 3, what does Du Cheng say? "He's got one of our own." It's not just blind loyalty to the force; Shen Yi has already proven to Du Cheng that he really is a cop.

(And, ACAB; and China suffers from massive police corruption. So this procedural, like all the others, isn't reality, isn't a valorization of police work, but is probably some secret third thing.)

I have an idea

And I need to write fast cause the call of sleep urges me

Naruto fanfic, Founders Era, Izuna Lives, Tobirama-centric

Instead of Tobirama being half Hatake, he's half Kaguya

And he does have the bone kekkai genkai

Always love to play with the AU of Tobirama being an extremely overworked workaholic that's trying his best to hold Konoha together and no one seems to notice. Tobi locking himself at his desk, endlessly pouring over admit istration work, project reports, damn near everything in their little fledgingly village of Konoha cause Hashirama isn't exactly helping.

Have tobi work so much that most of Konoha is built with his blood, sweat, and tears (figuratively)

Have it not be enough. Let the coffers run dry and resources suddenly skyrocket in price. Tobirama foresees the ruination of his brother's village before it even begun, a half built city destined for abandonment

So Tobi provides the resource needed to finish off construction. No one knows where the Senju Heir managed to get incredibly fine "white concrete" powder to mix with the chakra resistant foundational concrete blocks but whatever it is, it's quality stuff.

Tobi provide more "white concrete" powder, all the while his skin turns sallow as he continues laboring over administration. He turns guant, his terrible eating habits finally catching up to him as he "mysteriously" starts being excessive calories.

People who work down in the basement with him grow more and more worried but they're nobodies. Hokage-sama isn't going to listen to the concerns of errand runners and Tobirama doesn't seem to have any friends.

Where's the rest of the gang?

Madara has been given the task of securing Konoha's immediate future by earning the approval of the Daimyo to build a village and have several civilian noble lords invest in a shinobi village as a tax write off. He's been gone for years. He comes back home victorious from the warfront of the Courts to receive a warm welcome from his best friend and Izuna.

Hashirama is super eager to give Madara a tour of their childhood dream. Look at all the buildings! The public parks! The fountains! The academy! It's all coming together so well!

And Madara does look around. Sees the roads so carefully laid, the proper communities, the wealth of diversity and people thriving. He turns to Hashirama:

"Who built this village? This is more than the work or either you or I."

It comes out rather easily that Tobirama has been slaving away keeping the bare bones of this village together and...

Well Tobirama's 'unwellness' grew gradually over time so while Hashi knows his little brother is sick, it's just from too much caffeine don't worry!

Except Madara's last memories of the pale Senju were of one healthy, and hale. He knows immediately that something is desperately wrong and speedruns figuring out why.

It will later be revealed:

Tobirama did more than hold together the bare bones of their fledgling village.

His literal bones were used to make the village.

Hope!Hob and Dream have a baby AU

Yesterday I was Thinking Thoughts(TM) on the discord server and I came up with this AU so…. Here it goes!

Dream and Hob have been in a relationship for a few years now. They are very good for each other, but still haven’t completely opened up about some things. That leaves a few subjects completely untouched, one of them being children.

Hob starts having dreams about raising a child with Dream. He knows Dream can see his… well, dreams, but also knows that he likes to give Hob his privacy.

The dreams become more and more frequent, and Dream doesn’t know what to think about it. They don’t touch on the subject during waking hours, and Dream watches Hob’s dreams from the outside.

They can’t ignore it anymore. The dreams are a daily occurrence. Hob is starting to get attached to their dream baby.

Dream wants Hob to be happy and knows this is something they both want deep down. He decides, because he’s a self sacrificing suicidal dense fuck, to visit Mother Night and trade in his own immortality for an immortal child.

Death saves him last minute because damn bro you’re fucking stupid did you forget I’m right here?????

Hob is livid that Dream would decide to trade in his own life to give him a baby. He only wants to have a kid if Dream wants it too, but the both of them have a lot to work through if they ever want to consider it.

Death gathers the rest of the siblings. This is getting messy, they need to do something about it. Surprisingly, Desire actually does feel for Dream, and suggest the unthinkable: Dream and Hob need to go to therapy.

No human therapist could possibly help them! Except, Desire knows one. Dr Linda Martin to the rescue!

Dream and Hob start working through their child related issues. Death and Desire team up to find a way that an immortal child could be a possibility without them breaking any cosmic rules.

Hob and Dream decide to take matters into their own hands. Dream takes Hob into the Dreaming, where they decide to make their child out of dreamstuff mixed with Hob’s blood.

The whole process nearly gets them killed (only doesn’t because it is technically impossible).

Death and Desire go to their aid.

The Hecate show up. Everyone is terrified the worst will happen.

Actually… Hob’s blood had more than just man made immortal stuff. It had so much hope into it that when fused with the dreamstuff, it managed to create a whole new thing.

Hob ascends into Hope. Having now unlocked his powers, he can finish the process, giving birth to Defiance of The Endless. Because Hopes and Dreams aligned are able to defy the laws of the universes to foster life.

Dream and Hob decide to raise their baby both in the Dreaming and in the Waking. Hob is now Lord of the Waking World, and Defiance is the bridge between realms.

They name the baby Diana, because Hob likes the whole “D” names thing, and after Lady Di, his favourite royal.

So this is it! Fanfic Speedrun I guess lol

Genshin Characters Playing FNAF

characters: itto, xiao, shenhe, hu tao

an: i was thinking about this a lot so i wrote it down! this might be ooc because i had too much fun writing this and i’ve written this at school. i haven’t really caught up with fnaf games so i relied on my personal knowledge, i apologize if anything doesn’t seem accurate [sob]

pronouns: you/your

genre: headcanons, pure crack

Arataki Itto

he’s all for it for games

video games? alright!

though it took you a while to explain how the game works because he’s like: “waitwaitwaitwait— what’s the button to shut the doors? OHHHH okay, okay, i got you. and what about the cameras?”

we love our himbo oni

expect him to scream at anything that pops up

like when bonnie/chica appears on either door

he SCREECHES and then brushes it off like “oh, that’s nothing. just a warmup.”

alright man

when he passed the first night he’s flexing real hard. “YEAAAHHHH YOU SEE THAT Y/N??? i passed the first night!”

“yeah good job, just four more nights to go.”

his laughing dies down like: “haha… im sorry what?”

i can picture the look on his face. pure shock.

and then when he saw foxy run up to the door he goes: “uhhh isn’t he supposed to chill at his little cave-“ MANS SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS FROM THE JUMPSCARE AND YOU COULD SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE

you’re just laughing at him, laughing even more that you see him immediately hide behind you after that

“we.. are NOT playing that again.”

“come onnnnn you’re backing out already?”

“UHHH UH YEAH no YES? NO? YEAH??? NO— YEAH? NAHHH”

i love itto sm

Xiao

tbh once you told him of the game he’s like: “you mortals and your amusement towards virtual-related matters.”

like bro we know we need to go outside more often

anyways, after tons of persuasion and pestering he gave in seeing there’s no way to avoid this topic

sitting down with your snacks, you see him being a total tryhard. checking cameras, the doors, all that stuff. he’s multitasking at this rate

you didn’t explain anything to him??? how does he know this??? and this is all new to him???

it’s kinda impressive but it’s eerie how he manages to learn all of that as he goes

you didn’t ask though because if you ever ask he’ll go “you have no respect for the-“ yeah we get it you’re built different

i can imagine him muttering “mortals find this terrifying? i don’t see what’s sinister in this virtual game. this is nothing.”

typical xiao

when he beats a night he’s so unbothered like “okay i won now moving on”

mans speedrunning the game with a straight face, he’s focused as you can tell

he could be a professional gamer if he ever tries to be one imo

he’s just so good it’s unreal

he knows what he’s doing

there’s times where he ALMOST dies and mans clutched it every time almost giving you a heart attack

not a single jumpscare appeared on screen

when he finishes the game he says: “there. i’ve completed your game.” and walks away leaving you flabbergasted and slightly traumatized from the many times he almost dies

what a pro gamer move from xiao

Shenhe

okay well when you asked her if she’ll be willing to play it she literally said yes no questions asked

when you mentioned it to be a scary game she assumed she needs to be involved since there’s “scary monsters”

so that’s probably why she took up the offer so fast

she’s sat, in front of the game screen, staring at it in silence

you’re there like “..okay so, these are the controls—“

“why’s this bear malfunctioning?”

“ah, so that’s—“

“is it a robotic creature?”

“yeah and—“

“huh, that’s interesting.. i’ve never seen something like that before.”

shenhe let us finish

but that’s alright because she has pretty privilege

she’d be the type to ask too many questions, sometimes questions you’ve never expected to be asked from her

“the cameras are used to watch over these creatures? the doors are used to protect the player from them? the battery percentage drains overtime by how much you use it for the functions around us?” “am i supposed to harm them?”

listen she needs this for scientific purposes

after a lot of explaining, she’s got it. she’s a fast learner

same with xiao, she’s speedrunning the game with a straight face. she may have gotten a few jumpscares but when she does she’s unphased.

“i know i’ve failed to surpass this night but is this supposed to scare me?”

LMFAO SHENHE

she’s good at the game, she’s like a casual player but she has a lot of persistence to beat the game and i mean a LOT

that’s cause she wants to you know,, attempt to stop the “evil” by beating the game <3

Hu Tao

this one goes to my upcoming birthday friend

hu tao LOVES scary things, so of course she’s going to play fnaf

she’d be the type to laugh at the slight and actual jumpscares

bonnie appearing? she giggles and shuts the door. chica jumpscares? she goes: “oh! heheheh looks like the chicken’s got me!”

hu tao how-

when you get scared by a jumpscare she’ll look at you and say “oh! y/n! you’re scared? not to worry! i will deal with this game, just watch!”

oh boy

she’ll be smiling the whole time while playing because she hasn’t done something like this before

tbh she’ll be like “this is more fun than taking my nightly strolls! this seems to be more interesting! i believe there’s something up with these creatures as well! and im dying to know!”

she’s having way too much fun

i can imagine when she passed a night she hums with the tune and does a little victory dance

she even took your hands and dance with her too

she really really loves the game, and she’s willing to play more of them <3

heyoo! i just finished speedrunning every last bit of content for your hels to pay au, and oh my GOSH its amaaazinggg!! (expect quiiite a few asks from me, because surprise surprise, binging an entire au in half a day leaves my neurodivergent self insatiably craving more and nowhere to get it! who woulda thunk!)

I absolutely love the way you write Atlas! The way he's a villain, he's terrible, he's an evil person right to the core, and how Tango hates him and you make the reader hate him too. He's a manipulator, an exploiter, a nagging voice that won't ever let up. 

And then, how he's all these horrible things, yet you still manage to get the reader to dredge up even a tiny drop of pity for him, to make them feel bad for him, of all things?? Just. Gosh. To write that way, to make an unredeemable character pitiful, in a sad sense? Unbelievable. Unbelievable writing skills!! Kudos to you!

I'd still drop Atlas in a garbage disposal, though (derogatory)

!!!!!!!!! this is so sweet thank you. i LOVE writing atlas, it’s an interesting challenge to humanize him without trying to make him all ‘misunderstood sympathetic villain.’ he’s a terrible guy, just the worst, but he also has his own hopes and fears and things that he cares about, and a persistence that would be admirable if it wasn’t for such completely horrible reasons 😂 i’m glad you’re enjoying it!!

#hels to pay au #HTP ask

[rubiuscubito]

right. i’ve been busy (read: bad at time management and prioritization) so no progress photos yet but here’s what i’m working on currently:

kings smp mapicc (cape)

baconnwaffles0 (hat)

roshambo competitive piece* (cape)

other notes:

i’m mostly using ksmp mapicc’s cape as a very very rough draft and test run of the pattern i could be using for ro’s

the baconnwaffles0 hat is an absolute NIGHTMAREEEEE i’m either rebuilding the entire thing or trying to make all those rough edges look much less rough by the end. technically this one’s only supposed to be a rough draft as well, but i still want it to look good enough to put on my wall with the rest of the hats i’ve made and also i’m stubborn

i’m procrastinating the ro cape so much i have almost all the materials gathered i’m just not ready to sew or glue or whatever a bunch of keyboard caps into those damn rock paper scissors symbols. basically as soon as i finish the mapicc cape i’ll lock in on the base of this one, and then the more fun intricate details will come

cosplays i’m designing currently:

itzsubz

princezam

leowook (competitive piece)

clownpierce (competitive piece)

notes speedrun:

subz: decent amount of pieces in my closet, just so unwilling to get to pinning fabric in place on one of my coats for that eclipse federation look bc i’m an s4 girlie through and through

zam: finally putting some old fabric i’ve been hoarding for like three years to use, the rest of the stuff is in my closet already. if i’m not feeling confident enough in the cape making once i’ve finished mapicc’s i’ll move to zam’s as extra practice. kinda wanna make a box head for him, kinda also have the wig and crown already in storage, might do both designs

leo: i wanna make the apo armor so so so bad that’s all sorry and the sword?!?! a girl can dream in a perfect world all of this would be lit up with leds

clown: challenging design could be fun to make, may or may not ever be made, all depending on if ro’s fit has crushed my spirit or not

*competitive piece means almost every piece of the costume has to be made by hand, therefore a more time-consuming, long process; with non-competitive pieces, i’m often just pulling pieces from my closet :P

#I speak #may delete this later idk i’ve been mentally ill over the internet attention i’ve gotten recently it’s a little scary

[watatsumiis]

omg ok. who do you think would be a minecraft speedrunner though?

The first person to come to my mind, for some strange reason, was Barbara. It would be something that her fans asked her to do as a joke, but she had a lot of fun with it and does casual speedruns every now and then! I could see her hosting a lot of games and events that everyone always participates in because she's just such a sweet and bubbly person! She does a lot of lockouts, building competitions and hide and seek, just lighthearted things like that! She's had a few very lucky speedruns so is right up the top of the leaderboard! She also finishes most runs, even if they're going poorly, so she's experienced with most aspects of speedrunning!

Scaramouche would be way into speedruns, he's super hardcore about them, like makes one tiny mistake and resets, so he hardly ever actually finishes a run. His best time sits a little below Barbara's, which he's secretly super bitter over. Both of them play together every now and then and they have surprisingly good chemistry - the grouchy hardcore player and the bubbly easy-going player collaborating seems to be a really popular duo!

Childe also does speedruns, but less as a competitive thing (though it definitely is that too) and more of just a way to keep his brain busy, he likes having a set direction to go in and tasks to complete. He livestreams his runs, but doesn't provide much commentary or interest, it's mostly just him staring intently at the screen for upwards of eight hours. He's up near the top of the leaderboard, simply due to the sheer amount of the game that he plays. All the little tips and tricks are like muscle memory to him now, and he sometimes 'trains' other streamers (like Barbara!), teaching them all the corner-cutting tricks he knows!

Bennett also speedruns - he hovers down near the bottom of the leaderboard, the only reason he's on there is because of this hilarious string of upwards-oriented fails that somehow managed to turn out well for him. He's not an amazing player, but his determination makes his runs very fun to watch, because even when everything is falling apart, he's so sweet and optimistic, and always bantering back and forth with his chat! He's still rising in popularity, and it's a well known fact among his chat that he's a huge Barbara fan - he occasionally gets invited along to her events, but he often fails in the first round.

Columbina also speedruns on occasion, but her runs are more like her satirising other players, or very obviously cheating because she thinks it's super funny.

The person who holds the top record, however, is Sandrone! She's a brilliant mathematician, and has a lot of the odds memorised off of the top of her head, and has an uncanny knack for being able to tell whether or not a run is 'a good one' within the first minute and a half. She's quiet and doesn't provide much commentary, because she's just running the odds in her head, concentrating on this mental equation that most people couldn't even begin to parse when written out. She often gets accused of cheating, but she just likes numbers. She's extraordinarily good at calculating where the end portals are, and only ever needs to glance at the coordinates once when she spawns in or teleports between dimensions because she can just track it in the back of her mind.

💙🩷🤎

💙 Blue: What inspires you to finish writing a fanfic, and what makes you quit writing one at any stage in the process?

For Store Playlist, it was the fact that it was part of a big bang and I'd feel gross for not finishing it lol. For Left 2 Chill, it was/is a multi-year labor of love that i wanted to see to the end. And the epilogue will be going up in like 12 days!! So we're nearly there! (Also the deadlines I had in my head of September-October 2023 and April 2024 for a 28 Weeks Later joke/reference kicked my ass into finishing... but good lord i still need to go back and make edits bc spell/grammar check has never been kind to me)

As for what makes me abandon one, the fact of the matter is that I don't seriously start enough fics/story ideas to make them feel.. real?? I've mentioned incomprehensible scribbles in my notes app, which were made either bc I wanted to make a comic for them or just write them down before I forgot them (cough cough royal pains manifesto). So like, it's hard to call them abandoned since they were never really started beyond Vibes (halo au... i can see like three scenes for it and no other story beyond that)

As for actual fics of mine that have been abandoned (one of which has gotten a weird influx of kudos despite not being updated since 2018) were from the era of the infamous Deleted Progress of 2019 from when my old iPod Touch was being a douche about its cloud storage. So many months worth of progress... just gone.. it still makes me sad...

Sooo short answer on reasoning for abandoning fics: not being able to commit or literal outside influence I guess lol

🩷 Pink: Do you find a certain character (or characters) easy to write? More difficult -- and if so, do you avoid writing that character (or those characters) when possible?

Jeremy and Zoe are generally easy bc they're just like me fr (oddly specific familial trauma what whaaat), but it really depends with other characters. I've done very little writing for characters other than the boyfs outside of l2c (which! I! Want! To! Get! Better! About!) so like.. the au versions of the characters are generally easy for me bc. I invented them for the most part lol

I guess it was harder for me to pin down Rich, since he was a "main cast" character whose head I spent about the least time in (next to Jared, but I've already gone on abt the meta reasoning for not getting in his head much, and writing him was less hard and more mentally taxing bc i kept fussing over potential readers Not Seeing The Vision) mainly bc the other characters had more interesting things to going on to pick apart

🤎 Brown: How did you decide to write for (or why are you writing) a certain story? (Asker, feel free to chose a specific story you're curious about. You can also let the answerer choose the story.)

I'm gonna speedrun a few bc I feel like it

Left 2 Chill: started playing Left 4 Dead 2 again. Doodled Jeremy saying one of the most metal lines from the game/trailer. Quarantine happened a month later. "Haha look at me writing an au about a viral outbreak during a viral outbreak I'm sure there's no correlation at all."

Store Playlist: worked at a grocery store and watched over the self checkouts. Fun songs played sometimes that I would dance/lipsync to. Funny customer/manager interactions. ("He's sixteen." "Nuh-uh! I'm fourteen!" — "Want some water? It tastes like roses. [...] Want some roses? They taste like roses." — [The cucumber thing]) "Hmm what if self-indulgent blorbo au?"
