My Top Ten Favorite Bumbleby Moments (My Opinion Obviously)

10. All Fight Scenes

I know I'm technically cheating on this one but whenever these two fight, I know I'm in for a good time. And all of them have been superb. These two are in sync without even communicating with each other. They know each other's abilities and know how to work together well in combat.

9. We're Protecting Each Other

This was a 'you had to be there' moment. It was insane. Even knowing these two would eventually confront Adam, the way they did it blew my mind. I loved seeing these two stand up together to confront Adam and become each other's strength's. They had each other's backs in this moment and were going to do it together.

8. We Were There For Each Other

This moment lived in my head rent free for months after the episode came out. They held hands before this to comfort each other during stressful times. Like Blake reaching out to apologize to Yang when she lost her arm and Blake reaching out when Yang's hand started to shake because of Adam. But this time, Yang reached for Blake in a moment of peace. After everything that happened, she forgave Blake and accepted her after everything they went through together. And all she wanted to do was just hold her hand again.

7. Volume 8 Reunion

The amount of gushing I and many others did during this moment was crazy. We were starved for Bumbleby interactions in Volume 8, especially after Volume 7 did so many with them both. After 24 hours of craziness, the two are at peace once again. Blake at first is worried since they did separate missions Yang might be mad that they didn't work together. But all Yang did to reassure her was smile and the two touched foreheads and later embraced each other. It was such a sweet moment.

6. Date Night

Volume 7 had so many good little bee moments that were adorable and I'm a sucker for fluff. Blake getting her new hair and Yang struggling to compliment it, the selfie, Blake falling asleep on Yang's lap with Yang holding her etc. But the two going to a club and off handedly mentioning they're gonna ignore Team FNKI just to have their own fun. You two can just call it a date, we won't judge lol. With Yang trying to teach Blake how to dance and Blake struggling to learn while laughing. I love how whenever Yang cracks a joke, she looks at Blake because she wants to make sure she see's Blake laughing. Not to mention Nora's comments later in the episode.

"Blake and Yang are off doing they're own thing again."

"Friends huh? Just friends?"

"Two people who have gone through that much? I think there's more going on."

And I will forever be mad RT didn't show us them at their date.

5. The Burning Candle

Ya'll this was the spark that ignited the ship. Not only is the Burning Candle just a great episode but it's an amazing moment for Blake and Yang. We get to see these two open up and communicate their wants and desires. With Yang telling Blake about her past and trying to help Blake so she doesn't push herself too far. And then of course at the end Yang gives her that wink and says 'I'll save you a dance'. Then we later see the two dancing. It was also the first time we saw Blake laughing and happy and it was all because of Yang. Yang who just asked for a dance in return for helping Blake and opening up about her past. I was sold on this ship when this episode came out.

4. How Disarming ~

The gay in my brain would not stop buzzing at this moment. It's amazing seeing how much Blake was the one openly flirting and initiating playful touch. There's a great post by @wixhing0nastar going over Blake's body language throughout the volumes. How a lot of the times Blake is more closed off in her posture, like how she holds herself. But here, she's leaning into to Yang's space and just playfully nudging her. She's not holding back. Also I swear I could hear Blake purr when she said 'How disarming'. Like my breath got caught in my throat. And then when Weiss said 'About time'. I knew this volume had to be the one where they finally get together.

3. Volume 9 Reunion

This is my favorite reunion of Bumbleby. Especially since we had to wait for so long for these two to be reunited. Blake was distraught last volume as she failed to save Yang and thought Yang died in front of her. Yang who had always been there to help her and fight by her side. And the first thing Blake does when she gets a free chance is to tackle hug Yang and hug her tightly. Softly whispering Yang in both disbelief and joy. And Yang simply holds her to reassure her like she did in Volume 8. Honestly, if Weiss and Ruby weren't there they would have probably stayed like that for hours lol.

2. I'm Not Gonna Break My Promise

This used to be my favorite Bumbleby moment of all time and for good reason. Blake and Yang had killed Adam. The first thing Blake does is weep and fall to her knees. She's gone through so much and much of it had to do with him. Her torment of him is over and the person she once knew was dead. And Yang wordlessly just holds her and lets Blake cry. Blake finally gets out that she won't break her promise and swears it. Earlier Adam had mockingly told Yang that Blake made a promise to him once and that she didn't follow through with it. And even earlier in the volume Blake had promised to be there if they faced him. Yang has seen Blake stood by her words with her actions. And just reassures Blake she knows Blake won't break her promise. No more words are exchanged as the two just hold each other and Blake just cries more.

The Confession and Kiss

Was anyone really surprised? I know I wasn't. I loved the number 2 moment on my list so much. But I knew as soon as we got the confession and kiss scene it would more than likely take my top spot. It was all a matter of how it was executed and it was done spectacularly. There's many essays and write ups on why this scene was so good so I apologize if I don't add much to the conversation.

But Blake and Yang are stuck in a punderstorm and are trying to figure out how to get out. With them eventually figuring out they need to say things about each other they've never said before. At this point the two have only really said cute things to each other and then Blake comes out with.

'I think....you're an extraordinary person.'

Honest to god I was already getting emotional from just that as Blake goes in some more. Talking about how Yang does what she says, she brightens others around her and is always brave even when she's scared. The looks and the song Worthy playing in the background only add to how monumental this moment was for me. With Yang talking about how she liked how Blake wasn't intimidated by her even back when they didn't get along. She also talks about how Blake doesn't give up on people even when other people hurt her and she never gives up because she knows what matters to her. Blake has tried to help others and has sometimes failed but she has tried to push through despite labeling herself as a coward. But Yang see's a person always trying to do what's best for the people she loves.

Then we get this moment.

These are my favorite expressions of the whole scene. It's so wholesome, pure and full of love in every detail. At this point the two know what needs to be said but Yang is at first hesitant and the bridge between them widens. Blake asks if Yang thought of something then didn't say it and Yang is so bashful as she is realizing she needs to say those three words. But Yang is scared, she compares it to a cliff and if she goes through with it she'll fall. I've always headcannoed that Yang's greatest fear is letting those she loves down. And that ties into how she fell at Beacon and fell in Volume 8. It can also tie to her with the aftermath of Mercury and feeling she let her team down. She's scared she won't be good enough and will lose it all. It also similarly ties into her abandonment issues.

But Blake points out, they're already falling. Their emotions aren't going to go away just because they're scared. They're already worried for each other when they're fighting to save the world and two thought they were dead last volume. With Blake thinking Yang died and she failed to save her. So Blake encourages Yang gently by telling her to say it.

And after a heavy sigh, Yang confesses with Blake jumping in before she can finish as the two say I love you. The bridge that separated them is gone and they're together. They look at each other with blushing cheeks with Worthy playing in the background. They pull into each other, Blake slowly smiling as they get closer and kiss each other. White lilies sprout from under them as the while lily symbolizes rebirth and rejuvenation of the soul. The flowers are also used at weddings and can also mean purity. It's such a perfect flower to fit this perfect this scene.

And there you have it, my top ten Bumbleby moments. There were lots of moments to choose from and so many of the ones I love unfortunately didn't make it on this list. So here are some honorable mentions down below.

Remember Me? (Part 12)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11

Summary: Under the Mountain, Y/n met the High Lord of the Night Court, Rhysand. She was scared of him, but soon she found out that he wasn't who he pretended to be. Despite her efforts at not falling in love with him, she fails. It's not that bad as he loves her back.

But now he's gone, and she's left alone with nothing.

Except for a very adorable reminder of him.

•○●⛦●○•

Tw: secret pregnancy, none more that I can think of, so let me know if I need to add anything.

A/n: heh

thats all i got to say lol

enjoy!

•○🌑○•

Y/n rose her eyebrows at Eris, waiting for him to begin speaking.

Sometime ago, a servant working in the Autumn Court's palace had informed Y/n that Eris was looking for her, and Y/n had rushed to meet him. Now she stood facing him, just like that night a month ago, the gentle evening breeze curling in the air, making the leaves outside the large window rustle softly.

It also didn't go unnoticed by Y/n that this was the same window that she and Eris had stood in front of that night Feyre had arrived in autumn court.

"You know how each year we have a high lord's meeting since the war with Hybern?"

Y/n nodded. It had become common knowledge that to prevent any more disputes between the courts, the High lords had decided to meet every year.

"This year Autumn is supposed to host the meeting, and the meeting is in a week's time."

Y/n blinked. "And?"

He rose a brow. "All the court's officials will be present."

Dread spread through Y/n when she realised. "Is Rhys going to be there too?"

His eyes flared with something like rage before his expression smoothed out. "No, because I have barred him from the court, but some of the members of his inner circle will be present."

Y/n heaved a sigh of relief. "And why are you telling me this?"

"So you can warn Feyre of it. The members are going to question if they find Nyx running around the corridors. Tamlin is also going to be present, and I don't know if you know of their history, but it was a messy situation she left him in."

Y/n nodded. "I'll let her know. Anything else?"

He nodded slowly, his eyes travelling leisurely to her feet and back to her eyes, making her heart start racing when he stepped forward

Only when she could feel his breath on her face did he stop advancing and speak, and Y/n ignored the urge to take a step back.

"One thing. Keep that bastard's name out of your mouth."

Y/n suppressed a shiver, instead lifting her chin and meeting his gaze head on.

"And what if I don't?"

"He will find himself incinerated." He murmured, the embers of a fire beginning to form in his eyes.

"Who do you think you are to tell me whose name to keep out of my mouth?" Y/n had no problem in not speaking her former lover's name, but an opportunity to get Eris riled up was too good to pass up.

There was an inferno raging in his eyes as he pushed the words out with gritted teeth.

"No one."

Though Y/n was disappointed, she wondered why she even expected a different answer.

"I will speak whomever's name I wish, then."

He looked away, his jaw clenched.

A muscle began feathering in his jaw, and Y/n blamed what she did next all on her distracted mind, but she reached up, gently running her fingers on that muscle in his jaw.

He stiffened instantly, and despite wanting to pull back her hand, her mind wouldn't let her.

He turned his head to her again, a different type of fire in his eyes now.

His eyes dropped to her lips, and Y/n held still as he leaned closer.

The air between them changed, becoming charged. Y/n waited with baited breath, not daring to take in necessary air in fear it would prompt him to turn away.

His hot breath washed over her face, and her eyes fluttered closed. Anticipation coursing through her very veins alongside her blood, she waited for that first caress of his lips.

Only it never came.

What did come, though, was the sound of screaming children, and Y/n and Eris barely had any time to jump apart before the kids came into view.

Y/n sighed, caressing the wall, pretending that she hadn't been about to kiss the high lord.

When the pattering feet came closer, she turned, flashing the little kids a dazzling smile as they came to a stop next to her feet.

"Auntie Y/n! Do you want to play with us?" Nyx asked, his eyes glittering.

There was obviously nothing else Y/n had to do, she agreed. Especially with what almost happened occupying her mind, she was sure she would not be able to focus on anything.

"Come, we have a few hours before dinner time, so we can play."

The children grabbed her hands, beginning to drag her away.

Y/n felt eyes on her all the way until she turned a corner and disappeared from his view, which did nothing to cool the warmth on her skin.

Feyre spoke up when she caught up to the Fin and Nyx, who were debating on what to play while Y/n watched.

"How about we play hide and seek?"

Y/n knew Feyre had questions, and so she didn't argue when she decided that Y/n and She would seek the kids.

"Y/n?" Feyre said as soon as the kids were out of earshot.

"Yes?"

"We need to talk."

Y/n sighed, nodding.

[lolitakirstein]

a/n: ooof this turned into a damn text thread i'm sorry.and mostly eren POV, shitty editing this is going to have to be in multiple parts. I'll get part 2 up ASAP. :)

Eren reached for his phone, brows furrowing. It was odd for him to ever hear an alert from it, let alone a text notification. He had made it that way. Cutting off communication to most, keeping conversations to a bare minimum with those who were close...well...more at arm's length...maybe further than that.

If I keep people out, they can't hurt me. they won't know I'm such a fucked up person.

He flipped his phone over, reading the text.

You: hey eren :)

His heartbeat kicked up seeing your name on his phone. You seemed to be the only person who would reach out without being talked to first. Of all the people in his "friends" group, it was you who seemed the less likely to judge...if he ever got that vulnerable with you. Which he doubted he would, you deserved better than someone as fucked up at him. But when you looked at him, he sometimes felt that you saw past his flaws.

His fingers hovered over the screen unsure what to write, finally settling for a simple "Hey."

You: How are you? I haven't seen you in a while.

It was true, you hadn't seen each other in weeks. The last time being a get together for the end of summer.

Eren: I'm fine..just minding my own business as usual."

You: well you can mind your business and still not be a stranger :)

the lighterheardness of your message made him actually smile. The thought that you are wanting him to be closer though...that makes him nervous. He doesn't want you to look at him differently if he got any closer.

Eren: I wouldn't mind that

You: Well lets plan a hang out or something :)

Eren paced his living room. Were you being flirty? or just friendly? or maybe even pitying him? How was he supposed to go about this...play along? he wanted to. Fuck he wanted to get closer to you. But that voice in his head told him it would end in disaster.

"Fuck it," he said aloud to the room

Eren: Maybe we could go for ice cream, yeah?

You: that sounds fun!

Eren waited to respond, not wanting to seem to eager, but he had come this far he might as well go for it...

Eren: would you like to later today?

the minute he sent it, he regretted it. Too soon, too desperate, too overbearing.

You: I can't today. Me jean and connie are going downtown to the bar. I've already backed out twice ugh

His heart dropped at that fucking name

JEAN

He knew you and jean were friends, closer than you and him were, but it still boiled his blood that you were going out with him...even just as friends. He knew how jean got when he was drunk. Hell he knew how jean acted sober especially around you. Hanging around, shameless flirting, playfully tugging your hair as he'd pass behind you.

Eren:Why the fuck are you going with horseface. Hes a creep, he just wants to use you I hate how he touches you Alright, have fun.

He breathed deeply. Calming himself before he could get any angrier at the situation. Yes, he knew it was wrong to get mad at you for going out. But why did it have to be with Jean. He hoped Connie would keep an eye on you and him at least.

*4 hours later*

Eren was lying on his couch, the tv going, but honestly his thoughts were constantly on you being out there at some cheap bar with Jean. No doubt his fucking horse hooves all over you. What were you doing? what was he doing? what were you wearing?

Is she thinking of me?

His resolve to not text you the rest of the night crumbled at last. Reaching for his phone he thumbed to your name and typed

Eren: Hope you are having a fun night.

After what seemed like an eternity but was really only 10 minutes, he saw you begin to reply. His heart kicked up.

you: Heyyyy. I'm a bit buzzed but im havn fun. connie and jean are doing karaoke save me lol

He smirked at your jumbled reply and the thought of jackass jean doing karaoke thinking he's hot shit.

Eren: i'm sure that's a sight. What those dipshits singing...or attempting to sing

you: connies in his missy elliot era rn. Jean just serenaded me with some taylor swift.

Eren clenched his jaw. He knew you were a secret swiftie as much as you tried to act like you werent, he'd catch you humming it. Now it seems Jean is also aware of your little secret.

Playing cool he replies, "Never took that asshole to be a swiftie."

you: me neither, it's definitely the booze

Eren: How much more drinking do you guys plan on doing?

You: I'm tapping out after this one

An attached photo came along with your text. It was dimly lit but he could make out the shape of a dozen or so shot glasses empty on the table and your hand holding your last one up for the camera. And there, blurry but still visible, right in the corner was Jean...his hand on your leg.

DAMN HIM

He feels every emotion rush through him: anger, jealousy, possessiveness, sadness. He heartbeat pounded in his ear.

Eren: What's with Jean being all handsy?

He hoped that sounded subtle and not like a psychopath...with yes he was probably acting like one. Even going so far as to zoom in on the photo to see how far up your leg jeans hands were.

you: Probably to keep from falling over.

You were playing it off like it was no big deal?!

Eren: That doesn't look like the ideal place to put his hand to keep from falling over."

you: Lol. you know how he is when he is drunk...all...lovey

At this point, red is all Eren sees. He doesn't care if he comes off like an asshole or possessive anymore. How could you be so oblivious and naive that Jean was doing this intentionally.

Eren: Doesn't that piss you off that he gets all handsy like that? He shouldn't be allowed to touch you, even if he's drunk.

No going back now. Whatever progress eren had thought he had made with you would certainly be gone after this show of anger. His true self. Fuck it he didn't care. This is why he stayed to himself. In one evening, you had stabbed him in the heart...

Part 2 sneaky peak:

"You know i can't be like him right?" "I don't want you to be like him...I want you to be like you."

thanks for reading :)

[hiddencityhijinksau]

I'm totally gonna create art for this - already have - but in the meantime I should probably explain this concept lol.

So basically, in one way or another, the turtles each stumble upon the Hidden City at around age 8 to 10, and decide to keep it a secret from their bros >:3

Leo is the first one, technically, when he goes out to explore NYC when he's eight, and discovers Run of the Mill Pizza, because I'm obsessed with the Uncle Hueso idea, but he doesn't go to the actual city until much later, though he knows of it's existence.

I actually kinda started writing this starting bit? It's totally unedited and missing bits but whatever, I'll include it under the cut.

Leo peered up at the manhole cover from the bottom of the ladder, imagining what he would see if he climbed up and lifted it. The young turtle mutant didn't get long to think about it, hearing his brothers call for him.

"I'm coming!" The 8 year old ran to catch up with his family, sending one last considering look at the rungs of the ladder.

Later that night, after his brothers were asleep and his father was dozing in front of the TV, the red-eared slider crept out of bed, utilizing all the stealth skills he'd learned from the lessons Splinter thought he hadn't been paying attention to. Once safely out of the Lair, Leo practically sprinted down the route to the manhole cover he'd spotted earlier. There were entrances closer to the Lair, of course, but this way, if he got caught sneaking back in he could say he was just wandering around the sewers.

Reaching the top of the ladder, the slider paused for a moment, savoring the adrenaline of what he was about to do. Splinter never even let them explore the sewers without him, nevermind letting Leo venture out on his own. And now he was about to go Topside!

Shoving at the metal disc with all his strength, Leo cautiously poked his head out, eyes wide to take it all in. Of course, this wasn't his first time on the surface – Splinter had taken all the boys with him once or twice for scavenging trips, especially when they were younger. But now, Leo was here on his own! This was so exciting!!

The slider climbed out of the manhole, tugging the cover almost back into place, but leaving a small gap so he could get in later, as he wasn't sure how to lift it from the top side.

Bouncing in place, Leo looked around the alley he'd surfaced in with a wide grin, wondering what he might find.

Hmm. There wasn't much in this alleyway. In fact, it was pretty much empty. Nothing but a few scraps of cardboard and a colourful graffiti tag decorated the concrete.

Well, Leo didn't come here just to hang out in one measly alleyway! Full of confidence, the eight-year-old marched to the end of the alley, pulling up the hood of his sweater as he rounded the corner.

Even with the late hour, there were still people on the streets, eyes focused on getting to their destination. No one paid attention to the small figure in a battered green hoodie hurrying along, sticking close to the wall.

Leo ducked into the next alley, heart pounding. Okay, so that was a lot more nerve-wracking without Dad or Raph than he'd thought it would be.

Luckily, he realized as he took in his surroundings, this alleyway was much more interesting than the one he'd come out of. There was a huge dumpster on one side, and the walls were covered in graffiti. Even better, the far end of the alley was actually a corner, meaning there was more to explore!

Leo started poking around, kicking at the small piles of trash and inspecting the locked dumpster. Not finding anything cool, he moved on, admiring the graffiti.

He ended up turning two more corners while following the trail of graffiti, and found himself facing the street again. The constant something of spray paint broke off at the corner, meaning the skull painting in this alley stood out sharply.

Bla blah blah some yokai open the door to run of the Mill while Leo watches from behind a dumpster or smth

Leo's eyes sparkled. Was that actual magic?! Donnie said magic was impossible, but Donnie also said it was impossible for the two of them to be twins, and Leo knew that wasn't true. The turtle bounced forward with glee, eager to see where those people had gone, only to stop short when the portal closed in his face.

Leo frowned. Clearly, he just hadn't been fast enough. Wait, what was that gesture they used to open it? Leo lifted his hand, trying to mimic the pose he'd seen, and wiggled it with great concentration.

Nothing happened.

Huffing, the boy tried again. And again. And was glaring at the wall, ready to shout at it to let him in, when he heard someone approaching the alleyway. Eyes lighting up with an idea, Leo darted behind the nearest dumpster and peeked out, watching carefully.

Sure enough, another mutant-like person entered the alley, heading for the graffiti tag. Leo stared hard at the gesture they made, but instead of waiting and trying to copy it, he darted in behind them as soon as the portal opened.

As soon as he was inside, Leo stopped. And stared.

There were so many people! And none of them were human.

"This is the coolest place I've ever seen," Leo whispered to himself in awe. He slowly started walking further in, craning his neck to stare at every little detail.

So entranced was he, that he didn't see the bony figure approaching until he nearly face-planted into their suit.

"Where are your parents, little pepino?"

Leo froze and looked up at the sound of the voice. Towering over him, arms crossed, was a frowning... skeleton?!

Instantly forgetting to feel guilty at being caught, Leo blurted out, "are you dead?!" His eyes were wider than they'd been all evening, he was sure. Because, come on, that was a walking, talking, skeleton man!!!

The aforementioned skeleton man, somehow, raised an eyebrow. "No, I am not dead. Have you never seen a skeleton yokai before?"

"No," Leo responded, eyes still wide. "What's a yokai?"

"Que pasa con este niño," the yokai muttered under his breath, then continued in a normal tone, "Yokai is what we are. You, me, and everyone in this restaurant is a yokai."

"Oh. Hey, what was that language you were talking in?"

The yokai looked at him weirdly, but Leo really did want to know! He'd only said one sentence but it sounded so cool! Leo already knew he wanted to learn it.

"Spanish. Why are you here, niño?"

"Uhhhhhh... Dad... sent me?" Leo cringed a little at the blatant lie, and decided to distract him with another question. "Can you say something in Spanish?!"

The yokai sighed. "Tell me your name and I'll consider it."

He beamed. "I'm Leo! What's your name?"

"You can call me Señor Hueso."

"Whoa, is your name in Spanish?! Wait wait wait you gotta say something in Spanish now! I told you my name!"

"Deberías estar en le cama, tortuguita."

"Coooool! What does that mean?"

"It means 'you should be in bed, little turtle'. Let's go, out, time for you to go home." Hueso began pushing at Leo's shoulders, nudging him towards the door.

"Whaaaat? Come on, you can't kick me out! I just got here!" Leo dug his heels in, refusing to be pushed.

"This is a restaurant, not a daycare. I do not have time to be babysitting lost children. Out!" With one final shove, Señor Hueso let go of Leo and prepared to shut the portal.

The turtle mutant stumbled and whirled around as soon he was free. "Wait! You're just gonna let a child wander around New York alone? At night? Isn't that illegal?"

"Well, since you won't tell me where your parents are..." Hueso trailed off with a raise of his eyebrow, waiting to see if Leo would offer any more information.

Leo huffed in defeat. He didn't want to admit it, but he was getting tired, as it was already far past his usual bedtime. "Fine, fine, I'm going! But I'll be back tomorrow!"

----------------

Leo did in fact come back the next day. Hueso wasn't there when Leo scampered in behind a weird frog yokai, so the slider was quick to scurry off into the restaurant, hoping he could hang out for a little while before Hueso found him and kicked him out again.

What Are You So Afraid Of? - Jason Grace

Midnight. There's a crash downstairs.

You jolt up in your bed, heart pounding. It's silent for a moment, and you start to think that you might just be hearing things, but then there's another. Louder, closer. Heavy. With your heart racing, you grab the nearest thing you could use as a weapon - a stuffed teddy, for heaven's sake - and stand on tired legs.

There's a bang on your door, and you jump. You should call the police, but your bones feel locked with terror. You can't bring yourself to reach for your phone. This is perhaps the worst time for your parents to be away.

Another bang, and a rattle of your door handle, and the intruder stumbles in. All at once, they fall into your wardrobe with a series of curses and shouts, and you launch the teddy bear at them. It gets the expected result, simply bouncing off the intruder's header, and it's then that you notice who it is.

"Jason?"

"Yours truly," the intruder groans.

"What -?"

He makes a gasping sound as he steps forward, and you can only see his shadowed form as it stumbles. Immediately, you rush over, catching him under the arms and dragging him over to your bed, laying him over top of your dishevelled covers.

"Watch your eyes," you say before flicking your bedside lamp on.

He curses again when the light switches on, covering his eyes with a bruised and bleeding arm. Already, there's blood on your bed sheets.

"What happened?" you demand.

Jason shifts slightly, getting as comfortable as he can as you check him over for other injuries. Besides his arm and a gash on his leg, he's seemingly all right, but the amount of blood is making you nervous.

"On a quest."

"Yeah, I guessed. But what happened? Haven't you taken some ambrosia?"

His arm moves now, and his eyes slowly adjust to the dim light of your room. Though bloodshot, they still gleam a gorgeous glittering blue that has you almost transfixed. You catch yourself before you get distracted, rifling around in your nightstand for the little first aid kit you keep in there for situations like this.

"Ran out," he says quietly. "You've still got some here, right? I think I left some last time."

You pull it out just as he asks, wordlessly passing him a chunk of the godly food. It's sat in your drawer for a few weeks now - somehow it hasn't gone off - and you're glad that you forgot about it. As a demigod, the ambrosia helps Jason heal, but if you, a mortal, were to eat it, you'd likely combust into flames and die. If it always smells as good as it does now, you're eternally grateful for your bad memory. You probably would've been a pile of burnt ashes had you remembered.

"Fighting some monsters at North Beach, but they got some good hits in." He looks over at you then, noting the horrified expression on your face at how easily he speaks about being almost killed. "Don't worry; it hurts a little less each time."

"That's supposed to make me feel better? Jason! You're bleeding everywhere!"

He waves his hand nonchalantly and plasters on a smile, but you notice the way the pain he's in makes the scar on his lip twitch. "I'm all right, (name). Promise. just needed some ambrosia. I'll be healed up in no time."

You watch carefully as the blood slowly stops flowing, and the skin gradually mends itself back together. Begrudgingly, you shove the first aid kit back into your nightstand.

"I can't stay long," Jason says, closing his eyes for a moment. "I can't put -"

"Me in danger, yes I know. Son of Jupiter and everything." Kneeling beside the bed, you resist the urge to take his hand in yours and squeeze it, more for your own comfort than his. "You can't just walk back to your camp from here in the middle of the night. It's too dangerous. You always say monsters are more dangerous at night."

"I'll be fine."

"Jason."

His eyes open again, locking onto yours. Fifteen years old, and already those eyes hold more than they should have. You've seen your fair share of things in that same amount of time, but you can't even begin to think what life as a demigod could entail. What it could do to a person. Already, they hold more memories and horrors than they really should.

"I can't risk your life, (name)," he insists.

"You and your saviour complex! You're staying here tonight. You can head back in the morning when I can call you a taxi."

"You could call me one now."

"Absolutely not."

"(name) -"

"I won't hear any more about it," you say.

You grab the spare blanket you keep in your wardrobe, wrap it around your shoulders, and pull the duvet on your bed over Jason until it reaches his chin. He could easily move and hinder the process, but he stays still. You've got a feeling that he doesn't mind being taken care of sometimes. Not when he's usually the one taking care of others.

"Get some sleep," you tell him, sitting on top of a pillow beside the bed. "You have to be exhausted."

He shakes his head and rolls onto his side so he can face you. "I want to make sure you're all right."

"I'm not the one that was attacked tonight."

"That could change."

You give him a look. "Jason, I've been fine every other time you've come here. What are you so afraid of? In all the time we've known each other, no monsters have shown up at my door."

He goes quiet then, and you worry that you've pushed too hard. Jason may be in charge of the camp he stays at, but you know how hard it all is for him, what with being the son of the king of the gods. He's lonely, and you're well aware that his coming to see you, whether it be after a quest or just on a whim, allows him to escape that life. But always with the monsters, the warnings. He's never stayed more than an hour, afraid he'll get you killed, but you want more than that. You need more than that. You don't want to spend the rest of your life waiting for him to appear, just for him to leave so soon.

"I'm sorry," you murmur. "I just -"

"I love you," he interrupts, "and it terrifies me."

The rest of your sentence gets stuck in your throat, and for a moment you can't breathe.

He looks away, the lamplight reflecting in the bright blue of his eyes. "I've loved you for months. Ever since we met, really, when you accidentally saved me from a bunch of monsters following me in the Legion of Honor and told me that I needed to brush my teeth if I was going to get so close to you. But I'm - I'm scared of losing you."

Your hands are shaking a little. "You're not going to lose me."

"I don't want to risk that," he says. "I don't remember my family - my mom and sister. I've known nothing but being a demigod all my life. But you help me forget about it all and pretend that I'm a normal kid for a little while. I don't want to lose that or you. But me being here puts you in danger."

"Jason..."

"You don't need to feel the same." He still won't look at you. "I just needed you to know."

"Will you look at me?"

He struggles with himself for a moment, but eventually, he turns his head, fixing his gaze on yours. With a shaky hand, you find his beneath your duvet cover and squeeze gently, offering the best smile you can manage.

"I do feel the same," you say. "And, I've been safe all this time. I'll stay that way regardless if you stay a few more hours, okay?"

He doesn't look entirely convinced, but still, he nods and says, "Okay. But just this once."

"Like hell it'll be just this once."

A soft laugh escapes his lips. "I'll keep you safe."

"Of course, you will, Jase."

Even still, it takes barely ten minutes for him to doze off peacefully, smiling so softly that it makes your heart feel warm. You don't let go of his hand, ensuring that even in sleep he knows you're still there. And you press a soft kiss to his forehead as you switch your lamp off, praying that this wasn't all a dream or some figment of your imagination.

I love you. The words still echo in your mind, even as you eventually fall asleep, head fallen on the pillow his own rests on.

I love you.

[nebulouscoffee]

for the ask game star trek voyager!!

Thank you sm friend! I already answered a couple of these, but the great thing about being very indecisive is I can give different answers each time <3

Favourite character: B'Elanna Torres, although Kathryn Janeway is a close second (I do have a Janeway-themed url, after all😌)

Second favourite character: okay, I'll talk about Janeway here! Gosh what a deeply flawed individual. She's awesome, and yes, incredibly charismatic and badass, but she's also haunted, complex, and scarily capable of hurting those closest to her (which she does. Like, a lot.) She ends up in charge of a seemingly endless mission, and she cannot afford to crack- not in front of her crew, and not even really in secret- so she begins this seven-year process of what basically amounts to dehumanising herself. Her arc is almost like a long-form merging with Voyager the ship- she is Voyager, and Voyager is her! She will protect her crew and bring them home. She will ensure they get to survive. (What happens to her? Well, she knows she can and will never be the same, but she can't and doesn't think about that right now). She made a mistake and her crew paid the price and the guilt of this eats at her every day, but she cannot afford to acknowledge it or she'll go insane. She tries so hard to stick to her principles but once she's violated a few she starts thinking of her soul as this already-corrupted thing- she knows she can live with it, so why not do something else that's a bit messed up! Better me than any of my crew, right! Like- no wonder she couldn't move on with her life once Voyager reached the Alpha Quadrant in the Endgame timeline. No wonder she had to travel back in time to die in the past. She is so changed by the events of this show that the past the only place she can truly belong. Ugh!!!! I have so many feelings about her!!

Least favourite character: I dislike voyager!Q so much I actually skip all his episodes on rewatch lmao. And I'm someone who actually quite enjoys him on TNG! He's this all-powerful all-knowing omnipotent being who could literally be off anywhere any time doing anything he wanted, and yet he chooses to keep coming back to this one starship just to flirt with the most boring man alive. He literally got kicked out of the Q Continuum for having too much of a hyperfixation on his blorbo. That's funny! And compelling! Unfortunately the Voyager writers did not understand what made this work and decided his only trait was *irritates everybody* (including the audience lol). What he and Picard had was a funny back and forth, a snarky Quodo-style "these horrible old men deserve each other" rivalry. What he and Janeway have is sexual harassment played for laughs 🙃

The character I'm most like: Kes - I went into more detail here :)

Favourite pairing: B7 if we're talking non-canon ships! From canon, uhhhh I guess whatever was going on between Janeway and Chakotay in 'Resolutions' & Tom/B'Elanna before they got together

Least favourite pairing: I don't know if I have one? C7 is the popular answer but I literally straight up forget it exists because it's such a small part of the show, like it doesn't even show up for reals until the finale. I'm not a fan of the way they wrote Tom/B'Elanna for basically all of S5 and S6, and the damage control they did in S7 wasn't bad imo but also felt too little too late. I also dislike Kes/Neelix, though I do think it had potential to be a really interesting breakup arc lol

Favourite moment: That scene from 'Year of Hell' where Janeway has given the order to abandon ship and everyone else is so reluctant to desert the bridge and it looks soooo banged up but she still won't abandon it.... and then Tuvok gives her that hug goodbye..... and she glances at that little gift Chakotay made for her which she didn't have the heart to recycle..... and she talks about what Voyager means to her, and why she has to go down with the ship...... my heart😭

Rating out of 10: Objectively an 8/10, I think the early seasons are GREAT and around midway through they do sort of run out of ideas thanks to their commitment to being as episodic as possible and sidelining more than half the main cast as well as refusing to let the guest cast build up or develop. The show genuinely suffers for it imo! There's a lot of wasted potential, as well as biases of the time that prevented it from reaching true heights- I also wholeheartedly think this show ruined the Borg lol, now 75% more human and 200% less intimidating! However it's also got so many positives- I adore all the main characters so much, and the premise itself gives me so many feels that in my heart it's an 11/10🥰

#to be clear when I say voyager ruined the Borg I'm not talking about seven's journey learning to reclaim her life #that stuff is great #I'm talking about the instances where the ship would actually come into conflict with the Borg #I think that should've happened two times on the whole show max. Every appearance decreased their mystique and made them more human imo #it's the same with the q continuum! by the end of voy they're basically just another typical species & they don't even have forehead ridges #the more appearances you give a species that's meant to be non-corporeal/deeply alien the more human (and boring) they will become #this 100% would've happened to the prophets too if that show had gone on longer btw. imo at least #anyway that's a tangent lol #thanks again for the ask! :) #ask game

"Gwendy + Peter Pan" nickname origin (excerpt from a scrapped WIP)

Not sure I'll get around to writing the fic, it was a cart before the horse kind of thing for my little AU or whatever that I'm working on but yeah, I still thought the part where Hobie teases Gwen about her crush on Miles was cute lol

wc: 622

"So, where are we going?" Gwen asked from a few paces behind.

"First stop's meeting my bassist."

"Cool... is it, like, near anything I would know...?"

"Oh yeah. She actually lives in Buckingham Palace. Mad, innit?" Hobie snickered at his own sarcasm, "You ask a lot of questions, y'know."

"Sorry, I'm not the best at... conversations."

"How's your storytelling?"

"Umm-"

"Cause I heard you're one of them lot that got into multiverse trouble a while back. What's all that about?"

"You know about that?"

Hobie shrugged. "Spider streets talk. I heard a bit, I know 'bout Kingpin and his machine and whatnot but Count Dracula don't really like us talking about you man too tough. Especially not, uh... was it 16...10?"

"Miles..."

Gwen said the name in such a dreamy voice that Hobie was taken aback. He was no stranger to the feeling, as masterful as he was at hiding it - he knew a nasty case of love sickness when he saw it.

That was the first true aberration from the punk Gwen Stacy he had built up in his head; all he had heard made Spider Gwen seem like a real rebel, just like London's had been, but punk Stacy would never come off so head over heels. It seemed to always be about the fight with her.

"Miles, ay? Well, tell me more."

"Where do I start?" she said, mindlessly pushing a lock of hair behind her ear, "He- oh, right. You mean about the collider thing, don't you?"

"What d'you think I meant?"

Hobie looked back at her, incapable of hiding his smirk. The girl was as red as his mask.

"I'm just pulling your leg, love. Speed through the Kingpin stuff and then tell me about your little what's-his-name if you want. I love a good bit of goss."

There wasn't much speedy about her retelling of the events but Hobie was happy that Gwen seemed to be more comfortable talking. Childishly, he was struck with spikes of disappointment at certain points in her story, a little frustrated that 'Gwen Stacy wouldn't have done that', 'she wouldn't say it like that'. Each time he found himself holding his breath, Hobie actively had to remind himself of Jess' words: this wasn't just an American Gwen Stacy... who was alive. This Gwen was her own person - nobody to him, yet - and that was perfectly okay.

"As for Miles," Gwen continued with a sigh, "I don't know. I haven't really done the whole 'friends' thing for a long time... but Miles was different. We just clicked, it was nice to find someone like me, you know? Well, like us, I guess but, I don't know. We're close in age."

"What about the other girl... Peni, was it?"

"Well, yeah, but... Miles and I are both New Yorkers and we met first, I guess, and our personalities just... mesh. When we talked, I didn't feel like I had to be Spider-Woman, it was just like being a regular kid."

"Annnnd, conveniently, he's just your type," Hobie teased, leading Gwen into a jumbled defence of why, though Miles was not not good-looking, it definitely wasn't like 'that'.

She continued to trip over her words as she followed Hobie across the road without paying much attention until he turned around and stopped her with two firm hands to the shoulder.

"Relax, G. I get it. He's your Peter Pan."

"My Peter Pan?"

"That's right, Gwendy. He flies around all cool like," Hobie explained, gesturing to emphasise his web-shooters, "he makes you feel like a kid again and..."

He trailed off, holding off on his poking as he reached a row of run down lock-up garages, one of which was leaking music despite being closed.

"And what?" Gwen asked, arms folded.

"And... youwannakiss'im,"

As Gwen started to protest, Hobie cleared his throat and couldn't help his grin of amusement. "Right! We're here."

[mimi-cwies]

I've been wanting to go in-depth about Niigokasa's relationships with the rest of the Niigo for a while, so I'm finally doing it, no more procrastination for this lmao

While I rated their relationships from 1-10, no one reaches 10 nor does anyone reach close to 5 or below since naturally, Niigokasa is close to each of the members somewhat. I mainly used this because there are a few more characters with relationships to Niigokasa I wanna touch on in the future which uhh might be in a long time since some of them happen/improve after the Niigokasa events I thought of (yes I did think of two full Niigokasa event stories but I still haven't started writing them yet despite having all the groundwork laid out lmao Go me- Maybe I'll make another post talking about them if people are that curious lol)

Anyways, besides that, also tried making semi-Kizuna ranks for this so that's nice, behold my terrible editing skills and there might be quite a lot of stuff that might contradict canon but ugh whatever lol (these are also kinda long so better viewed on a computer probably lol)

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Tsukasa and Mizuki

Before their first proper meeting in the Empty Sekai, they semi-knew each other from school albeit without Mizuki knowing Tsukasa was Kōu (Tsukasa's online name - Translation: Rainfall) due to his personality at school being extremely different and his tone of voice on Nightcord is much quieter and softer like he'll fall asleep at any moment.

On the other hand, Tsukasa did know that Amia was Mizuki due to recognizing their voice and the accessories Mizuki sometimes wore to school that he made for them himself as Kōu. (He sent them in letters to a post office near Mizuki's house.) Upon their meeting in the Empty Sekai, Mizuki was surprised knowing their senpai at school was Kōu while Tsukasa had to explain why he wasn't surprised about Amia being Mizuki. Despite describing this exhausting aura they feel from Tsukasa, especially with his eye bags and dead-like tired eyes, Mizuki does say that the smile he has feels the same as the ones at school, warm and genuine usually.

After the events of the main story, Mizuki starts going to school more frequently to meet Tsukasa, saying that besides having to go for attendance, they mainly go to hang out with him which warms Tsukasa's heart. Though the first few meetings are a little uneasy since Mizuki knows of Tsukasa's "true" personality, they quickly get along with him and actually start seeing the cracks with Tsukasa at school that must have been there all along. Mizuki starts seeing the work overload Tsukasa burdens himself with especially for the Theatre Club and when learning that Tsukasa is friends with Rui due to them both being in the Theatre club and asking if Rui knows, he says no with a feeling of detachment Mizuki picks up on easily and feels as well themselves personally. They worry for him a lot due to his overworking despite Tsukasa saying he'll be fine.

In their free time (or more like Mizuki pulling Tsukasa away from his work so he doesn't overwork himself to death), both at school and in the Empty Sekai, they like to create accessories for each other in person and pick up sewing tips from one another. Mizuki even decorated and braided some of Tsukasa's hair one time while adding cat ears to both of their heads so they can match. Tsukasa enjoyed it a lot though Ena who was there at the time thought it was overkill. Mizuki drags Ena to school during the day sometimes so they can watch Tsukasa's performances which Tsukasa is very grateful for.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Tsukasa and Kanade

They first met online a few months before the events of the main story. When Kanade was losing inspiration for her next song, Mafuyu tried recommending looking at other people's works for inspiration this time around, so while looking at piano covers for melody inspiration, she ran into Tsukasa's piano channel via one of his covers being one of Niigo's songs. Kanade described his covers as bittersweet for some songs and downright depressing for others, sometimes feeling like his covers were cries for help. He even had some original piano songs that enhanced those feelings more along with showing Kanade that he knew how to make ear-catching yet heart-string-pulling melodies.

After being able to get ahold of Tsukasa via Nightcord, they started working together in little sessions that eventually concluded with Kanade getting Tsukasa to join Niigo. Though Tsukasa himself feels like he's not much help with the music writing process, Kanade reassures him that the melodies that he writes and entrusts to Kanade do wonders for their songs.

When first meeting in the Empty Sekai, like Mizuki, Kanade points out Tsukasa's exhausted expression and immediately shows worry for him. Tsukasa brushes it off saying that he's looked like this for years, though he personally can't tell if it's gotten worse lately. She assumes that he overworks himself just like her but due to doing so herself, Kanade felt like she didn't have much say in that regard. Even so, both of them constantly tell each other to sleep more and they only listen to each other about half the time.

After being able to create a piano melody that Mafuyu described as warm, Tsukasa entrusted the melody to Kanade and silently showed he wants to make a song that saves Mafuyu as well.

They mainly meet each other in the Empty Sekai where Kanade sometimes finds Tsukasa sleeping. She at first thought he was trying to disappear like Mafuyu (and later on Ena) but Tsukasa actually states that sometimes it's too painful for him to rest in his own house, so he comes to the Sekai to rest instead. While not fully understanding it at first and becoming worried for him again, she's glad that the Sekai can be sort of a safe haven for him and that he is at least getting some rest outside of their meetings. When meeting in person, Kanade occasionally uses Tsukasa for shade on bright days due to their height difference and is happy he doesn't mind.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Tsukasa and Ena

Before first meeting in the Empty Sekai (and continuing afterward), Tsukasa always compliments Ena's artworks and describes the feelings he gets from them, even if they're different from what Ena had initially intended. Though he apologizes for the misconceptions, Ena says it's alright knowing that art can take many forms in the eyes of a viewer and actually takes this as a visual storytelling critique that she uses to change the drawings to better suit what she had in mind originally.

After meeting in the Empty Sekai, she realizes that Tsukasa looks like someone she saw during the times she would occasionally go to school during the day and properly met him for the first time in person when Mizuki took her to one of his school performances. Ena feels off-put by his louder and hyperactive personality at school, especially since outside of the times they meet at school, he's always his more calm and tired self. She does learn that Tsukasa actually wears some heavy foundation to cover up his otherwise noticeable eye bags and wonders if she should get some of the products he uses herself with all the comments Mizuki keeps making about the eye bags that are supposedly appearing on her face.

They also semi-relate to having troubled sibling relationships though Ena only states that they banter a lot mostly similar to how Ena banters back at Mizuki whenever they try to tease her. Upon receiving the question about how Tsukasa's relationship is with his sibling, he stays silent before saying he doesn't want to talk about it in a pained voice that Ena picks up on. She understands him not wanting to talk about it, which Tsukasa is grateful for.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Tsukasa and Mafuyu

After meeting the "true" Mafuyu in the Empty Sekai, Tsukasa could already feel an emotional connection to Mafuyu, especially after the mentions of wanting to disappear. Though he doesn't mention it, he agrees with Mafuyu's statement and stays silent once Miku sends him and the rest of the members besides Mafuyu herself. Deep inside, he doesn't want Mafuyu to disappear though. This makes him remember the guilt and pain he has gone through for years regarding his feelings of wanting to disappear.

Whenever they meet each other in the Empty Sekai, they usually don't have much to talk about besides music. When asking if anyone knows of the Tsukasa Niigo knows of, Tsukasa does state there is one person who does know this side of him and actively supports him through it. Sometimes Tsukasa feels for the troubled relationship Mafuyu has with mainly her mother, knowing how it feels to try and live up to their expectations to make his own parents happy despite their constant absence.

When Mafuyu got to meet the Tsukasa who acted hyperactively, she felt a connection that Tsukasa first felt when he got to start learning about the real Mafuyu. They both relate to each other by acting for other people and wanting to please others, but unlike Mafuyu, Tsukasa does have passions that he chases after and things he likes to do despite how worn down he is. While respectful of him, this makes Mafuyu feel slightly envious of Tsukasa being able to have a true self outside of his acting compared to her and wonders if she'll ever find her own true self. Whenever Mafuyu goes even through the slightest change, Tsukasa notices it immediately and feels happy for her even if he doesn't state so verbally most of the time.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Andddd I'm done! (for now lmao) I feel like there's so much more stuff I could have written for all the characters, especially taking into consideration one of the Niigokasa events I thought of, but I attempted to keep it out of this post at least lol Sorry if there are lots of spelling/grammar mistakes or some parts are just me going on a ramble, especially for the Mafuyu section. I found myself just trying to put down whatever I thought of at this point knowing how long I spent trying to write each section. I also wanted to allude to Niigokasa's character even more since I honestly haven't done so at all even with my art or the introduction I posted for him a long time ago, so hopefully, this hypes up any future content I decide to make of him lmao

Once again, tysm to everyone who read through all this!

July '23 language goals review

french

finish reading la mystère de la chambre jaune

currently at 12% (page 62/539)

-> didn't finish it, didn't even come close lol - I got to 20% through the book, which is a decent chunk, and I'll keep going with it, hopefully a little more quickly.

800 words on Anki deck

currently 637/800 (79.6%)

-> 655/800 - again, not the biggest success, but I didn't want to add new words until I had re-familiarised myself with the old ones this will be a theme

focus on one topic weekly - learn new words, piece of writing, get corrections

topics to choose from: future plans, books, fashion, health, holidays - this probably sounds like the most gcse list omg

-> not one, not a single one - it's something I'm still relatively interested in, but I don't think it's the most useful thing for me right now.

korean

500 words on Anki deck

currently 351/500 (70.3%)

-> 391/500 - we're getting there

review all talktomeinkorean lessons

-> didn't review any, but now I feel like I should speed up seeing as ttmik is going paid-only :(

go through all beginner level topic vocabulary on naver dict.

currently at 104/1953 (5.3%)

-> I got to 600/1953, so again, a lot more still to do, but still a good shift in it

japanese

currently on level 25

-> I do not know what I was thinking with this one, it was way too ambitious. I got to the end of level 25, but I only just learned that each 10 levels are one jlpt level, so there's definitely no rush, and I'd always rather take my time and actually learn the material.

review all jlpt n5 kanji

not yet started

-> I used kanshudo to do this, and I think I underestimated my base knowledge, because I already knew like 70, and I managed to solidify the whole set by the end of the month.

mandarin

finish hsk2 course on coursera

currently on lesson 12/24

-> I didn't do any...

know 140 hanzi

-> I didn't do any of this, because I still can't quite figure out how to study it, or how to quantify it either.

500 words on Anki deck

currently 202/500 (40.4%)

-> 212/500 - again, a little progress, but I was focused on reviews over new words.

spanish

finish clozemaster essential 100 deck

currently 17.625% seen, 0% mastered

-> 100% seen !!! and around 1.5% mastered, which could be better but I was limited by the daily limit of a basic account :/

currently on lesson 27 (75% of goal, 37% of total)

-> Didn't do any...

333 words on Anki deck

currently 267 (80.1%)

-> 311 - very nearly!! I'm pretty pleased with myself haha

german

finish languages on fire beginner German deck

not yet started (0%)

-> I don't know how to express it as a %, but I did get started, I've gotten through about 120 cards so far.

reach 5% fluency on learnwitholiver.com

currently at 0.18% (this one might be too ambitious I can't tell)

->0.89% - yep, maybe too ambitious... I was on a good trajectory but I got out of the habit early in the month, so I think it will be possible in the near future, but just not quite yet.

1.) How many works do you have on AO3

19... it was 39 but I had a major self-loathing moment

2.) What’s your total AO3 count?

word count? 166,516

3.) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

if you mean currently on AO3? just Hetalia. If you mean only on AO3 ever: Kuroshitsuji, Hyouteki no Finder, BotW, and Hetalia

In total through my whole life uhhh >.> a few more than that

4.) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Thief of Spades Season One

Thief of Spades Season Two

Trust

If It's You

Desperate Measures

5.) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

It's gonna be between Last Hurrah and Payback probably... Payback probably wins just because it is incredibly bleak

6.) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Uhhhh hmmm I mean I'd say everything else that's finished they're all about equally happy. I write most fics with the intention of reaching a happy ending that feels earned. From most contrast between the rest of the fic and the ending, I'd say An Impossible Situation

7.) Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

Nah, I'm not interested in crossovers.

8.) Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Oh yeah. What else is there? XD I hope I write *good* smut. After Kuro, I think was really uptight about it and trying to be "clean," but I've loosened up on that a lot and I think it has greatly improved the quality of the smut I write.

I think I have a slight reputation for adding BDSM elements and of course there's my super hardcore kink of writing scenarios where everything is consensual and all parties involved care about and respect each other. It's pretty intense, pretty niche, not a lot of people are into it. LOL As for gender/sexuality >.> who really cares about that kind of thing nowadays?

I also primarily write UKUS, which many people find extremely offensive. 🤣 IT'S A JOKE!

9.) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I used to forget, but I try to do so consistently now because it shows my appreciation because I really like getting comments.

10.) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

EEEEEEYUP.

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge

12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have! :D I consider it to be quite an honor ^-^

13.) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes. A long time ago.

14.) What’s your all time favorite ship?

USUK/UKUS. Nothing else even comes close.

15.) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but you don’t think you ever will?

T_T so many, but mainly Technicolor Heart. I just really like the concept, but that fic would have been soooooooo angsty..... also I don't wanna get ... fuckin.... run off of tumblr.

16.) What are your writing strengths?

Pacing. I know I just have a sense of how a story should progress so that everything feels earned but there's minimal to no dragging. I get told people like my characterizations a lot which is nice ^-^ also my prose is pretty nuanced, but I don't count that as a strength because I think most people don't even notice.

17.) What are your writing weaknesses?

>.> speed. or lack thereof. I can't write action scenes, which dramatically altered the direction of Thief of Spades in particular. I don't have a beta so there's always typos I'm catching months after posting P: I struggle with description/creating atmosphere using sensory info.

18.) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

I agree with Riva that salutations or endearments are fine, but writing whole scenes that way comes across as pretentious and annoying. Not to mention it can just be really confusing. Write in the language of your audience, it's basically just that simple.

19.) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Pffff. As if I'd say it in public smh. I'll spare 11/12 y/o me the indignity

20.) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Uhhhh hmmm

I mean the Thief of Spades series is always going to have a very special place in my heart but writing something that long with that much plot over such a long time, there's a lot of things about it I wish I could change.

In terms of canonverse type stuff, I love The Shape of Modern Imperialism. For shameless self-indulgence I think Three-Part Harmony is best. But I actually worked really hard on Precious Thing and I'm still quite proud of it.

Camp NaNoWriMo Week 3 Progress

The first two weeks went by smoothly, and I reached the halfway point of my goal yesterday, which is awesome! Unfortunately, I didn't finish part 2 yet, as it's shaping up to be a bit longer than I expected it to. Regardless, progress is still progress!

Project Name: The Shifting Tides (side blog is @the-shifting-tides-wip)

Goal: 30k words

Tagline: Sometimes we must fight for a future we ourselves cannot see.

Genres: Fantasy, LGBT+, Romance, Adventure, Young Adult

Week 3 progress under the cut!

Day 15

Words typed: 533

Total words: 15,796

Times updated: 2

Although I updated twice today, I didn't write very much. Regardless, I'm still at my word count goal for today! The voyage has finally brought Saran and co. to the island, and hopefully in a few chapters we'll get to the main plot!

Day 16

Words typed: 1,177

Total words: 16,973

Times updated: 1

Woohoo! I skipped around a little from here (because that's my writing process, lol) and got to one of the more pivotal events of this draft. Specifically, the following line:

And in a single, fluid motion, the lepinl surged forward, skewering Saran with their massive horns.

I'll go back to write part 2 at a later date. Maybe not this month, but I'll have to finish it eventually.

Day 17

Words typed: 999

Total words: 17,972

Times updated: 1

Yo! I typed a pretty cool number today, exactly one away from 1k! I probably could have made it into 1k if I really wanted to, but honestly I was getting tired. I started writing at 10:30pm and finished just before midnight, so I honestly needed the break!

Day 18

Words typed: 181

Total words: 18,153

Times updated: 1

I'm hoping this will be the lowest number I type for this project. I've been really burnt out even though we're so close to being done! I think it has more to do with my recital coming up and the fact that I'm overwhelmed with schoolwork more than my draft, though.

Day 19

Words typed: 1,149

Total words: 19,302

Times updated: 1

I thought yesterday was a fluke, and it looks like I was right! I managed to write over 1k words in one sitting today (and that sitting lasted about an hour), so I feel really good about it. I just finished one of the most heartbreaking scenes in this draft so far, and I'm loving how much I've tortured Saran. This next scene will help move forward his relationship with Viridian, and I'm hoping to get to their first "awkwardly romantic" scene at some point!

Day 20

Words typed: 989

Total words: 20,291

Times updated: 1

Viridian and Saran's relationship is very rocky at the moment. Viridian has discovered that Saran is actually a holindal, and he's not sure how to feel! He thinks Saran is about to kill him, although Saran tries to convince him he won't actually do that. It's going to take a little while before they can learn to trust each other...

Day 21

Words typed: 1,124

Total words: 21,415

Times updated: 2

Although it won't be this way on the NaNo website, I actually updated twice today! Once during class (I know, I should have been focusing!) and once later at night. I did skip around a little because the inspiration for the current chapter wasn't hitting me, but that doesn't matter!

There's only 9 days left, a little over a week! I can't believe I've made it this far, and I hope I can continue updating daily!

First Line Tag Game

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.

first of all thanks to @fantasyinallforms for tagging me in this! it's helping me get a little excited about my endless supply of WIPs lol

that being said- i have almost literally nothing finished at the moment (a lot that is close, though!), so you lot will have to be happy with teasers. if anyone sees anything theyd really like to read more of, drop a comment!

also since i most definitely don't have 10, i'll be dropping the first paragraph of each!

"The first thing Bilbo registered when he woke was that the bed was cold. The second was the gleam of Orcrist in the moonlight, and a close third was the wild look on his husband’s face as he stared down their bedroom door. Naturally, the first thing Bilbo did when he saw these things was grab Sting. The second was to find the danger Thorin was clearly aware of." - A Slight Overreaction, a prompt fill for @fellowshipofthefics march madness!! if you don't know about it check it out!

"In the end, he really couldn't help it. All their hard work, struggling and sacrifice for- Bilbo couldn’t even bring himself to think it, he was too busy choking back laughter. He felt he might've been a bit hysterical as he reached for a piece of the treasure, hand wrapping around its round form." - The Trouble with Meddling Wizards, a crack fic posted on ao3, this is a fic about the kind of shenanigans thirteen dwarves and a hobbit can get into when stoner wizard radaghast the brown decides to help them with their quest

"Bilbo closed the book with an audible snap, groaning as he did. He rubbed at his temples to try to alleviate his headache, but it didn’t seem to be working. Thorin looked up from his own book, studying his husband as he did. He noted the creases on his forehead, the frown on his lips." - all good things must come to an end (but the bad just keep on going), this fic is a bit of an ode to all the books i've read that i couldn't wait to be done with, where bilbo and thorin trade bad books they're reading just for fun

"Bilbo sat up at the sound of the door to the bedroom adjoining his creaking open, a sound he never heard unless he was the one opening the door. Nobody was supposed to enter that room, and anyone who knew anything about him knew that. Unfortunately for Bilbo, that still left fourteen uninvited suspects. Mind made up by that fact, the hobbit crept his way to the connecting door, a haughty speech about the impropriety of a stranger searching his home dying on his lips at the sight behind it." - Bigger Than the Whole Sky, this fic is the absolute pinnacle of my bagginshield fics at the moment, the golden child, my favorite project i'm working on right now. it's about loss, heartbreak, renewal, healing, and moving forward after tragedy. based loosely off of tswift's song by the same name, this fic will likely be launching a series (the various installments of which will be published in due time) about being queer and happy to be so. i could deep dive about this fic, this series, and where i want it to go for ages, but i think i'll save that for another post

and that's all for now, folks! i'll be creating more as i answer things like march madness prompts, and just in general as i have more time to work on what i want to work on

if you got this far, thank you so much for reading, and stay tuned for new works! i'm always open if anyone is interested doing some beta reading, and if you have any prompts you might like to see filled, hmu! as ever, my askbox is open to all of the above and more!

#fic challenge #bagginshield #the hobbit #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #the hobbit fanfiction #just a smaller author hoping to get a little exposure in this fandom! #also i promise i can and will write more than just hobbit/bagginshield fics #but right now theyre where the good brain chemicals are coming from

Tag game! The wonderful @preux-chevalier tagged me a few days ago, and I've been waiting for the mood to strike to do this. I think I'll also include my favorite lyric from each song, or maybe some relevant commentary, just because.

You can learn a lot about a person from their music, so put a playlist on shuffle and pick the first 10 songs.

1. Saint Honesty - Sara Bareilles

Baptized by truth we will reap what we sow/Build our own higher ground/When the rain's coming down/This is worth it to me

2. Lost Stars - Keira Knightley (from the movie Begin Again)

Please don't see just a girl caught up in dreams and fantasies./Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see.

3. Keep It Close - Seven Lions (feat. Kerli) (from the Sense8 soundtrack)

(gonna be honest, this song is not about the lyrics, it's about the mood)

4. So Far Away - Carole King

If I could only work this life out my way/I'd rather spend it being close to you

5. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!

(oh my goodness, I hadn't seen this video in decades and it's a BOP. I had forgotten how much the music video in Music and Lyrics was actually referencing it, lol--shoutout to @sdwolfpup, who will probably now have "Pop! Goes My Heart" in her head playing on a loop, you're welcome)

6. Starships

this is a Nicki Minaj song but this version is the one performed by Mike Tompkins, the cast of Pitch Perfect, and assorted fans. It makes me smile every time I listen to it, and the video is a lot of fun as well as sort of a time capsule of the internet in 2012.

7. Whistling in the Dark - They Might Be Giants

There's only one thing that I know how to do well/And I've often been told that you only can do/What you know how to do well/And that's be you/Be what you're like/Be Like yourself

8. Do You Believe In Love - Huey Lewis & the News

I used to have you in a photograph/I'm so glad it's changed/But now I've got you and it's gonna last

9. Big Backyard - Barenaked Ladies

I've been living so long with this hole in my heart/I became a drifter and began to roam/Now all I really want is a home

10. Sowing the Seeds of Love - Tears For Fears

I've always been partial to the lyric Everyone read about it, read about it/Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read, but I'm gonna also highlight the lyric Politician granny with your high ideals/Have you no idea how the majority feels because that is a callout specifically of Margaret Thatcher, who was Prime Minister of the UK when this song was released.

Thanks, Sarah! <3 Gonna low-key, no-pressure tag some folks from my recent activity: @onehandedbitch, @acesexualspock, @madfatandhungry, @agentbethanyofshield, @feeisamarshmallow, @seaspiritwrites, @ishipwaytoomuch, @wasdplz, @condescendingbench, @amazingstacey, and @fooferah always.♥︎

My little reviewsie-poo of The Cabin in the Woods

First, I love how it all starts with the guys in what looks like a government facility. I like their snarkyness and how they are so chummy with each other and their co-workers. Kind of on the verge of narcissistic but I mean, these guys seem to know what they're doing. Second, placing those bets... I love that little bit of craziness, how it all seems to be so normal for them. They seem to love and resent what they do.

I really enjoyed how they got our friends together too, for the little vacation. Not the biggest fan of someone being "the fool" because they smoke, and I mean, who was able to survive (ish) because of it? Hmmmm.... but it really did seem to follow the scary movie tropes, and everything the scientists(?) fell into place. It was such a deep story and wasn't all at the same time. I liked the feel of everything having meaning.

As for the cabin itself, I love that they choose everything, that everything had to be done of free will and of their own choices. The whole destiny aspect of it and how they refused up to the very last second to save anyone. I also had a problem with that too. In my own opinion, I wasn't very happy with that, I suppose for selfish reasons because, like, we aren't all so bad that all of humanity had to be taken out... but I guess, once again, it's destiny.

I loved that there were horrors of all kinds, and we love the Merman (who, fun fact, the same actor played both him and the werewolf) and how the monster that was wanting to get used the most, is what eats Mr. Big shot in the end. The sweet irony and with a sick bloody blowhole.

I'm the biggest fan of dark humor and this kind of checked all the boxes, or at least got damn close to checking them all (once I figure out what all the boxes are, I'll let ya know) and every time I watch it, I feel like I see something new or understand something a little better. It's one of those movies that I would never change if it was on, but I don't exactly reach for it every time I want to have something on. In all honesty, I'm going to say that I give it 8/10 stars

There are a handful of really cool deaths in and lots of blood and fun, but I just can't let go of the fact that some buttholes just let us all die (although, that's pretty much the reason for the story) but It's definitely something I think most horror lovers totally understand.

Would I watch it again? I most likely will, but not really any time soon, I got my fix

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! It's something that I think every horror fan should see at least once!

Does it need a sequel? Definitely not lol, I mean, the world ended! But a prequel would be super cool. I did a little research about it though, and nobody is really interested right now in making any so I guess we just have to live with that.

What did you think?

[amagicdoctor]

can only blame the writers for characters not caring about their friends/lovers/family. need to get from point A to point B in the plot pronto and, like u said, that makes everyone seem super arrogant

people here talked about nightcrawler's deal with his friends (real eye opener for me now that folks condensed this mess) so i'll mention mystique and rogue

as u probably know, rogue is mystique's favourite child and someone she really cares about... making it super weird that they barely interacted since krakoa started in 2019 with mystique not even seeming to care about rogue's first death or showing up to her first resurrection

anyway, mystique leaves the island in immortal xmen#10 because of a prophesized great threat up ahead and lo and behold, 5 years later, the start of sos happens and, u know,

every resurrection got super corrupted, every realm/dimension got taken over, chimeras were made with every krakoan mutant's dna, sinister played dollhouse with everyone, ... hell on earth all around

so with that kind of foresight on what was to come and headstart in her hands, surely mystique warned rogue about the threat before leaving? or even brought her along in her escape? or got more discreet by reaching out to her during the timeskip to explain the situation?

no to all of the above: mystique left before manure happens and rogue, as far as we know, stayed on krakoa when sinister's takeover went down

in sos, mystique basically abandoned rogue to fall into sinister's clutches like everyone else, never once thought about her in ixm#10 or during the timeskips of sos, didn't look for revenge against sinister (unlike all the times she went on a big spree for just believing rogue was killed back in the day) and didn't warn her about the dark future ahead (unlike the time the xmen were prophesized to fall and she went past the mansion's security system just to warn her daughter)

in a sad way, the rogue of the sos timeline must have gotten the closest to the feeling of pure parental abandonment nightcrawler has, due to the same person no less

all of this... because the x-office didn't include the excalibur series (rogue's) as part of the comic tie-ins for the event, making sos just feel even more... cut off from everything??? dunno how to explain but yeah

I hear what you're saying, I too hate how there's never enough time to learn each individual story and close each book, but the writer's find priority somewhere ad they devalue others.

I think in the case of Mystique and Rogue it goes somewhat like this:

Mystique's role in SOS was very brief, but it was connected directly to her wife Destiny who played a much bigger part. I don't know a whole deal about Destiny's relationship with Rogue/Kurt but her actions during that event was to make sure only Mystique's well being was taken care of (until it wasn't lol). A whole lot of families got broken up once it hit the first five years and this event was so condensed to the mainline story we would never see individual peoples (outside of the main cast) deal with the fallout. Unfortunately, we have to suspect the worst that Rogue was left behind to fight on her own while Destiny took Mystique away to protect only her.
