OMG HELLO

I almost forgot to read this one!!! But no worries, I am here, ready to read and comment. Hehehehe

I can see how “Cruel” was the inspiration for this, the video is so “chef’s kiss”

Wow, they do hate each other, and I love it already

I am not ashamed to say i had to google hellion, not a word i have heard before, lol

She is indeed special, you got a thing for eyes, I might say

I love it how he is a sex demon and he is attracted to her so much, even knowing that she is one, too. I mean he might see sex as food, but I dont think succubus/incubus can feed from each other. In any case his thoughts betray him. 

“You’ve never been worth my notice, Andromeda,” he says.

THAT WAS REALLY CRUEL

I love it that they have history together

Sure, battles get you hard, suuuuuure

A forked tongue, you say?

I love the little glimpse at all the rules the demons have.

Ooooooooh, her chambers

I am gonna guess that neither of them have done this before, she confirmed it, but then he did not. 

So they can’t feed from each other, then this leaves sex only for fun

She is so sexy I am flustered

He loves her, dark desires of not, he can’t resist her and he wants more

He is just curious because it is her

oooooooh, chains

And he is jealous, he wants to be special

Breathlessly, Changkyun asks, “What do you taste like?”

Her smile is as wicked as she is. “Wouldn’t you like to know.”

He does. More than anything, he does.

I AM SCREAMING

The description of his cock is… maaaan…… i can't take it

He is so cocky I can’t, she is putting in on his place and that pleases me

Andromeda is demon heroin. With one lick, he knows he will never be able to stop searching for the next one, and he realizes in one fell swoop that she has done to him exactly what he has planned to do to her.

OH HOW THE TURNTABLES

Oh, then it’s like lions not eating other lions….

I can tell already this encounter will kill me

I love that duality on her

And they’re kISSIng. Why is that soooo erotic???

I also liked that “role reversal” at the beginning, the succubus on top and the incubus on the bottom. Lol

Is he gonna fuck her tits????

Yesssssssssssssssss

Changkyun pinches her chin between his fingers and ensures her eyes meet his before his voice drops perilously low. “I don’t give them everything. You? You’re going to get it all, absolutely every last bit I can bury in you.”

Dsmvadmf’pdmfbp

Changkyun is just like any other demon—selfish, self-absorbed, and possessive—but he’s never actually owned anything. Even his room is a mere waystation between his last feeding and his next round of chaos. But now the only other creature he’s thought about in ages has given herself to him. He doesn’t know what to do with that.

This obliterated me

My god, there’s so many feelings in my porn this morning. I loooove that “demons who fall in love” trope, but I have never seen it happen between 2 of them

NO KIDDING SHARING THE HUMAN WAS THE THOUGHT THAT FIRST CAME TO MIND

So gooood, oh my, it was so good!!!! And the ending, yessss, yess!!!

Ok, choosing a favourite…..

Vixen - I really liked it, but I was truly afraid for Hyungwon’s wellbeing! Definitely the scariest of them all. The ambiance was simply perfection. Gothic feeling in a modern setting? Ticks box.

The voodoo that you do: I LOVE witches, the thought of magic being inherent in humans is something I relish and this was indeed just a glimpse of a much broader and rich Au with so many possibilities to explore. Also Gray is the woman of my dreams and I love her.

The heat of the night: I love my porn with a hefty side of feels and this delivers, it is shameless and also tender, the perfect balance that satisfies my soul.

Bad dog: I guess you can tell this was my favorite, cause werewolves, then we have stubborn people, chains, mentions of other monsta x members AND desperate fucking, primal needs, animalistic sex plus lots of feels, everything the Dr. ordered

In any case I will be very happy to read whatever comes next, but in the meantime I think I will read bad dog again….

I. SUCK. SO. BAD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. Wow. :(

Girl, yes, I have a thing for eyes! That's where all secrets are held. My favorite thing in the world is unlocking those secrets and exposing them. :D

Your stream of consciousness reactions are just always my favorite, friendo. <3 You processing the storylines as it comes--what you get right and what you don't see coming. It's fun.

Omg, I legit forgot how fucking smutty I made this story. What the hell was I on? *thinking emoji*

Yeah, I don't know if I ever remember demon x demon in any of the fandoms I've ever read, but it was fun as shit to write. I love exploring the idea of traditional villains experiencing feelings for the first time. Kind of a ho for that shit, tbh (if it isn't obvious). Kyun also felt like the right choice for the role--he's such a real-life demon. How I love world-building around these boys, too. *sigh*

Aw, your recap of all the fics at the end here. So worried for our Wonnie! But, come on, you know I would NEVER.

And, yeah, I still think I might be in love with Gray (and also Denarii). My girls living my dreams <3

You're right, I was SO surprised about you liking my werewolf fic the best (read: NOT).

Okay, so I was an asshole who didn't answer this in a timely manner, but I will say it was fun to relive these fics, especially now when I'm so far gone in a new AU. But I really went off the deep end in October. It's probably really embarrassing to admit that I already have four fics outlined for this years October vibes. >.> Something to look forward to, I guess.

Love you, girlie! You the best for always supporting me so much! A million finger hearts for you!!!

#gee thanks #heat of the night #new bestie! #october vibes #i'm so very late in replying #again #i said i would answer this soon #i failed #love me anyway! #because i love you

Do you have any art tips for beginner artists?

hi! i'll do my best to list the most useful ones for me from the top of my head! but if you're asking about something specific, lmk too!

always use references! this is 100% the fastest way to improve quickly! and don't forget if you're posting artworks using references, to always ask for permission if needed and to credit the reference! here's a very good post with links to various art tutorials and references :) try to do things out of your comfort zone!

i remember my sister drilling this into my head as a kid lmao: if you're going to draw people, make it a habit to draw the whole body, not just a face or bust. this way you can improve drawing the face and body at the same rate, rather than perfect the face and have like. a shoddy body HAHAHA (<- speaking from experience - my sister warned me but i still did not listen) here's an example from when i was 12 lol i went so hard on the eyes but my anatomy wasn't great so the drawing looks kind of goofy

if i'm being honest nothing has really changed even now HAHAHA you can still tell i spend too much time on the faces and neglect my anatomy studies a lot 🥲

3. don't worry too much about building a signature art style if you're a beginner! experiment and imitate art styles that you like, and it'll eventually develop into something you're comfortable with

4. speaking of art styles, Naoki Saito-sensei does very in-depth art videos for people looking to develop and improve their art, and he covers a variety of different topics! the link i provided is for his new YouTube account, since his first one was unrightfully terminated :( since it's new, there aren't a lot of videos up yet but he'll be re-uploading all his old ones soon

5. this video by tppo is also a useful tutorial/explanation for style breakdowns, using Mika Pikazo-sensei's artworks! also another good reference for building art and colouring styles

6. unless you're going for a specific art style, try not to use black colours for shading. Instead, try using a darker version of your base colour with the hue slightly adjusted. it's a little difficult to explain so i made a tiny diagram underneath:

it makes the colours pop a lot! Kurahana Chinatsu-sensei and Akiakane-sensei are really good at doing this 😭💖 that can also apply to lineart! but again, only if you're going for this kind of colourful art style :') do what feels right to you!

7. lastly try to enjoy drawing! if you do what you enjoy, learning and improving will come so much easier to you :) i can understand the urgency to improve (it's like my default state of mind 🥲) but if you keep focusing on that, drawing will eventually just start to overwhelm and frustrate you. try to combat it by doing something self-indulgent! i like to draw my ocs whenever i start getting burnt out :')

8. actually i lied this is the last one!! never give up!! it's so easy to feel bad or frustrated about your art no matter where you are in your art journey, so what i like to do to try and fight that is to look at my old art and compare the improvements! here's one of the earliest oc drawings i could find from my childhood vs my most recent oc drawing :pensive:

#this is a tiny psa to please dont bully me for my incredibly early 2000s core naruto oc i was a victim of the times #/lh #i hope this helps a bit! i'm really bad at making these lists im so sorry 😭 #but from the top of my head these are the most helpful tips that have rlly stuck with me since i first started drawing #also confession #i'm actually very guilty of rarely using references bc im lazy #thats why my art sucks!!!!!!! dont be like me #also i'm so sorry for this incredibly late reply #! #ive been thinking for the longest time on how to answer it and this is the best i could come up with 🥲 #za answers #Anonymous

i feel like i'm failing so hard at keeping interactions up and answering asks i'm so sorry ;;;;

#rin rambles #i've been busy and so scatterbrained lately i promise i'm not ignoring anyone it's just. Ough. idk how to describe it. #i would just sit there trying to answer asks and i just can't → is the literal description but it's not very descriptive i know #idk why it's so hard to just. talk. ;;;;;; #tldr i want to answer them but i can't somehow. and replying to posts feels like i'm bothering someone. #i'm not sure where this fear came from and i don't like it 😞

Is it wrong that im shipping alex the lion with my oc

it's not wrong. in fact it's important, and even essential, to ship alex the lion with your oc. if it inspires you then you're on the right path

#i ship clover with my oc if it makes you feel better #i'm sure alex would love yours #lately i've needed to remind myself when writing stories to not shut down what interests me #and i've been learning about an accepting and nonjudgmental approach to our own imagination #ocs may not have as broad fandom appeal as canon ships but it's no different from liking a rarepair #and in the madafandom every ship is going to feel like a rarepair anyway bc the fandom is small #so you might as well live your absolute best life #personally i loved my fandom days on deviantart where ppl would make ocs to ship with EVERY canon character #where i'm from it's very normal #and i'm sorry for whatever has you worried. whatever it is - it's not the authority on what's best for you #replies #jungkook124

....so hey what exactly is a queerplatonic relationship, anyway

(this is a genuine request for information) (if I get anyone hating on the concept you will be summarily blocked flambeed and executed)

#I am into So Many People in such a Deep Way but like. not in a relationship way yknow #like I'm still uncertain if I'm aro I'll figure that out eventually but the idea of a qpp is sticking in my head lately #the problem is I don't actually know what differentiates it from....like... Just a normal relationship #googling this concept is very difficult and I am coming up very empty but I know a ton of my followers are extremely queer #so I'm hoping someone has the verbosity and willingness to help me learn what this is and whether it's something I wanna explore for myself #feel free to DM me if you prefer or reply here or reblog I don't mind mountains of information at once or even just a single sentence #genuinely anything is helpful to me rn #original #probably should have done that tag way sooner #Oh well #ty in advance to whoever finds this and finds time and energy for it

i had been hyped for the mannequin pussy album from the second they released the first single but the ai thing put me off so bad that now that the album comes out in 2 days i almost couldnt care less

#its so sad they were/are? my favourite band #if they just went ''oh shit we didnt know it was this unethical'' or something #and said sorry #but no they went ''see you in the real world'' and didnt look back #theyve been fully ignoring the criticism except for a few instagram replies #its honestly quite pathetic for a band who claims to b e political #and i get you become very defensive when you've always had to defend your band and maybe they couldn't see criticism from hate #but still most of their most loyal fans (which includes me) are very upset and the fact that not even we are being listened to sucks #i even thought about cancelling my preorder of their album but i couldnt get myself to #its too late to cancel now i'm sure they will ship today or tomorrow let me not inconvenience the ppl working at the label

People tend to say that Hannibal only wants Will to be his true self, not an image of himself. But I disagree. His imago of Will was only broken because he learnt Freddie was alive. That means his ideal of Will is someone who kills innocent people. Wdyt

Well, first of all, I think it bears mentioning that Freddie Lounds is not an "innocent" by Hannibal's calculus at all, and only arguably might be by Will's own - while she's not a serial killer, Will definitely despises her, and I don't think it's a stretch to say he probably wanted to kill her when he pretended to do so (but knew he couldn't get away with actually doing it at that time). She may not commit murders, but she feeds on (and in turn, feeds) the worst humanity has to offer, and that impresses Will possibly even less than it does Hannibal.

And with regard to how realizing she's still alive changes Hannibal's perception of Will.... I really, really do not think it's actually about Freddie being alive or dead. It's about Hannibal's trust in Will, and how the fact that Will deliberately deceived him re: killing Freddie means that Will has been intentionally acting to harm/betray him.

The degree to which Hannibal ultimately gives up control over the relationship in s3b is what clinches it for me, that he really is in love with Will, however Will is going to be on any given day, and that's what matters. Yeah, he likes watching Will be violent, but that's the cherry on top. He says it in TWOTL: "You'd feel much better if you relaxed with yourself." That's what he wants. He really does want Will to be authentic. Yes, he'll probably enjoy it more when that authenticity involves violence, but he turned himself in right after Will scathingly repudiated his whole "you're sexy when you're violent" thing ("You delight. I tolerate. I don't have your appetite.").

I think the basis of his attachment to Will ultimately has much less to do with what exactly Will does than it does just, Will's capacity to meet Hannibal where he's at, understanding and accepting him. Will's own capacity for violence is a lever Hannibal can use, and it's a form of kinship, but it's not actually an essential ingredient to what Hannibal wants from their relationship, I think.

HELLOOOOOO

I am back!! And ready to read this story before the next one drops! So exciting

Also I do not like this “angst” word in the mood,  I appreciate the “hopeful” part but still. 

I will deal with you later.

So, he visits often, mhmhmh, yesss

I LOVE THE COTTAGE, i wanna live there

She’s living my dream life, I WANT IT

Also I love how painful this situation is for him, obv he wants to obey the law and do his job but also he likes her so much. The fact that he feels at home with her is delicious

“The day will come, Hyunwoo, all too quickly when you’ll have to make that choice for real, and all the calculations and recalculations and misdirections and cloaking spells won’t be able to stop it. One day, you’ll have to decide what you care about more: your antiquated laws drafted by crusty misogynists and cowards, or me.” I LOVE HER SO MUCH

He is so stubborn, as she is, they both have a point! Tho of course I am much more willing to lean to her side.

PERVERTED TOWN CRIER!!! I love her more and more

Is he also capable of magic???? Eye emoji

This scene of her getting naked???? GORGEOUS

Like she is clearly calling the shots, but she is also allowing him to have her, to an extent at least and i am here for it

Mhmhmh, suspicious pill is suspicious

The forbidden lover trope. I don’t know if I love it or hate it, mainly because it stresses me a bit, but this is so yummy.

Also it is so hard to reconcile the fact that she lives like that in a modern world. I mean it feels like in the puritans age, like a long time ago, not a very modern world full of computers, trains and gyms.

Oh man, sex magic sound awesome

HE TAKING CONTROL LIKE THAT ;lskfnvl;adnf;landv;lksdn

“Don’t leave.

“I won’t,” he promised.”  THIs WLL MAKE ME CRY LATER ISN’T IT????

Now they’re fighting. Fuck, that’s the angst!!!

SHIT THIS WAS SO INTENSE

ALSO DAMN YOU YOO!!!

I love how you include the rest of them whenever possible

“And he realized one other thing with paralyzing clarity: he was breaking his precious laws, too, because in the end, wasn’t love its own sort of magic, maybe the most universe-altering of all?” THIS IS GORGEOUS

He is in love and I am crying. This ending, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I absolutely adored it!!!!! All my witchy dreams have come true.

Now to wait till next week for the last story, that I will have to read in november when we’re back from the long weekend holidays.

see you soon!

I am made of fail and forgot to answer your lovely asks, my dear friend. Please don't disown me. Let's blame it on all the writing I had to do in October lol. I had PTSD.

Aw, man, and you even took the time to read my Shownu fic before the Kyun one dropped. Double fail on my part. :(

I know you're not an angst lady, but I love that ish. At least you know me well enough to know that hope is a necessity for me. No matter how disconnected I write my characters, I will always balance it out with connection, too. Put your trust in me, beloved!

Yes, this cottage was entirely too real to me, I think. I feel like I lived in it. In fact, I would live in it if I wasn't so concerned about spiders. But then again, if I were I witch, I'd just cast a barrier spell to keep them all out heh heh.

I think this was my first time of writing an established pre-existing sexual relationship, so I wanted their tug-of-war to really come through in the dialogue especially. I tried to let that stuff come through organically rather than exposition, but, yes, “home” was an important theme I really wanted to shine through. You know I can’t help myself on the feelings front.

I realize in writing a hyper-specific AU that not everyone would get into this, but I am really head-over-heels for my OC in this. I enjoy creating OCs for everything, but there was just something about Gray that had me especially in love. Idk

Ooh, girl, I love the inherent spice of the forbidden lover trope. High-anxiety? Definitely. High rewards? Fuck yes.

And, yes! That dichotomy of Gray living a simple life while the world charges forward without her is one of my fave things! She is wild and unpredictable and of the earth, and I wanted that sharp contrast to show Shownu why he feels so othered in the mainstream society.

Sex magic was majorly fun to write. :) But also, I wanted it to show how her magic is drawn from nature and the natural, which was meant again to reinforce the concepts I just mentioned.

Hahaha more connection before the disconnection, yes!

Girl, yes, you know I will always include the rest of the guys whenever I can! They’re a package deal. <3

Ended on hope, yay!!! See? Aren’t you glad you trusted me now? lol

Thanks for reading and analyzing as always, my darling. It’s fun to relive the stories with you as though we are watching another show together. <3

#gee thanks #the voodoo that you do #new bestie! #october vibes #i'm so very late in replying #you can yell at me later #and i will answer the other one SOON #love you!

Trick or Treat! Do you have anything featuring Arkhamverse Jason? 👻

@thesandsofelsweyr sorry for the lateness!!! I hope you don't mind second-day candy.

I DO have one very rough premise for Arkhamverse so far, but I haven't developed it much yet! Here's a few of my notes for fun!

Premise: Post Arkham Knight Jason goes back in time. He rebrands himself as the Arkham Knight once he realizes his goal is accessible--to break into Arkham and save his own goddamned self.

"Why didn't Batman come?" "He thought you were dead. Joker sent them a video of him shooting you in the chest, then mailed them the bullet in a box. Then blew up a hospital--your missing teeth implanted into a burned up body. You have a grave." Why was he defending them? Justifying their actions? Their failure to see through the Joker's tricks?

"Are you him?" "What?" The Knight asked--two sudden bad feelings warring in his stomach. "Bruce. Are you so afraid I'd hate you that you've come to me with another face?" "No." he said under what felt like the toxic waters of Gotham Bay. "I'm not him. He couldn't find you."

I really like this premise, definitely want to write it out more eventually. (I've basically decided to practice with some more Batfam character stories before I launch myself into this one--it would be quite intense, I think)

#shitpost #thesandsofelsweyr #my writing #the title of this is SAVEYOURSELF as of rn #in my head its like. Jason runs into Batman and like #just basically evades him during Arkham Asylum. and then grabs himself. #and then sort of just. drops his young self off at wayne manor. its fine #I'm not sure what made the time travel possible but I'm thinking it should be impossible for him to go back so he's just stuck here #so he just starts doing what he does. As the Arkham Knight though. As a part of this I wanted him to reclaim the Knight identity #becoming the Arkham Knight specifically to save Robin!Jason #i dont know theres something poetic in it for me. #so either this Jason drops the Red Hood identity or he goes back before he's adopted it. #This story is VERY malleable so far LOL #also sorry for late reply i think you sent this after i was off my computer for the night LOL

Hi. (Announcement in the tags)

#uhmm...i don't know how to explain this... #so my family has been having a lot of trouble lately #mostly our relationship with our step father #there's been ups and downs..well..more on the downer side. the only main reason my mother married him was because of..well.. #money..as trash as that sounds. i can't deny the fact that I've been able to continue my studies due to his financial support. #i don't want to justify anything that i've probably done wrong to him but emotionally right now—i'm simply scarred to the point where— #I don't think I could heal without professional help. I've been struggling a lot with it ever since of what he did #i felt disgusted. dirty. I felt lost. I didn't want to forgive him. maybe this is the punishment i have to endure because I didn't have it— #—in me to forgive him. I know the principles of my religion and it is stated that one must always find forgiveness towards others. #no matter how big their mistake is. but you see—I'm not God. I am human. my kindness isn't as grand and as big as Him. #my patience is limited and so is my forgiveness #that applies the same to my mother. my mother is a very patient person when it comes to her husband. but yet again she isn't an angel— #nor is she God. she is also human and has limits to what she could handle and what she could forgive and forget. #they argued tonight. and I don't think it'll slide or end well like the past arguments. and I'm sorry to say but— #I won't be able to be active all that much either. #without him now I'll probably have to look for part time jobs. which is gonna limit how active I will be here and on my main account #I will probably go into an indefinite hiatus for some time #maybe I'll come back...maybe I won't. hopefully I will. just...pray for me that I have it in me to continue doing what I love and— #—sharing these little bits of what I do in my free time with you. #I won't have the time to reply to anything for the time being. college tests are on the way and I have to prepare myself for— #—the better or worse. #if things go downhill and you don't hear from me for a long while. then this will probably be my last post here. #I'll still be able to reply to messages on other platforms #but I just don't have the emotional stability to talk right now. No it's gonna be fine. I have faith in me and God. #I know that He doesn't put His children into burdens that none of them could handle. #and if He thinks I could handle this. then I will. and I can. He is with me and so is all of your faith. #that puts me in a sense of reassurance a little hahah... #yeah.. so...I'll see you then..bye.

struggling to phrase this concisely but do u have any thoughts on how stephanie and cassandra would relate or struggle to relate to jason given that his death was held over both of their heads and the timing of his return to gotham being RIGHT after steph’s death in war games… i just think it’s such an underutilized dynamic and there’s a lot of interesting stuff there bc i think cass would find jason infuriating whereas steph would find him unnervingly relatable and similar to her… add in the context of jason’s relationships to dick babs and tim (or lack thereof) and i just think there’s a lot of much more interesting storylines and conflicts than the half redeemed uncommitted to anything jason we have now where most of the batfam is like simultaneously disdainful of and indifferent to jason’s presence/choices

disclaimer: i'm moving blogs. still here to go through my askbox, but you will find me at @boyfridged from now on.

i’m sorry but I think this might be a mad disappointing answer… (which is why i’m very curious how you see it! maybe there’s some interesting angle that i am missing – please do tell!)

i think it all depends on what moment in the timeline we are thinking about for jason. utrh doesn't offer much space for anyone other than bruce and jay to interact, and i believe this (and lost days) is the only time when he is truly committed to any particular moral 'code' or a specific cause (like 'controlling crime'). even in comics in which jay is portrayed as a villain, he doesn't really... do anything other than displaying severe mental illness symptoms? no more crime empire, no more fixed agenda, just dogmatic murder and wandering around in some maladaptive state. but since you mentioned that in most scenarios he is “half-redeemed”, i will go with what i think is going on with jay post-utrh: he's not truly committed, but he's also not rehabilitated; nowhere near to it, even. 

now, the question that i always ask myself in terms of what dynamics can arise for characters is what both of them can get out of this relationship (on a meta level). 

which kinda leads me to perhaps a very underwhelming assumption that jay is just such a mess in that period that it's difficult to imagine scenarios where characters like steph or cass actually gain anything from sharing the narrative with him. it's a bit ironic in a sense that jay could get plenty out of it in terms of his storyline: cass' very presence poses a threat to his already very wobbly philosophy, and it would probably unnerve him because of how her personality reflects his own innate compassion. steph, on the other hand, is like a still frame of his worst time as robin, right before his death. (and by *the worst* I mean his emotional turmoil and issues in relationship with bruce rather than an assessment of his skills or even morals), which i think would also terrify him. as such, i reckon he would actually avoid both of them. in terms of cass, I don’t think she would necessarily want to interact with him either, mostly because while *ordinarily* she would fight anyone of his views, and she for sure wouldn't have much sympathy for him, she would be able to see that his philosophy is a result of immense trauma. we could conceive circumstances in which they are forced to work together, and as i once mentioned, if we put them in a box and shook hard enough, a conflict would definitely arise. but at the end of the day, does cass get anything out of it in terms of her own development? at this point she is (for the better part) way past the internal conflicts that jay experiences; she is simply more mature. 

as for steph, i could see steph seeking him out if the comparison to the ‘failed robin’ was fresh in her mind. but I think, to an extent, she would be disappointed – because while they do share a lot of characteristics and background, he is reckless only as much as he is suicidal. it’s definitely not his typical trait and as a child, he never had the same issues with bruce until the very end (starlin’s run). i'm not saying there's no room to still bond over certain things – but jay's self-isolating tendencies definitely would not help here at all. and i think if steph realised how big of a mistmatch there is between all of stories she was fed and his past + current attitude, she would maybe pity him.

so tldr it’s very difficult for me to imagine any particular dynamics nor stories for them within that timeframe. i don't think it's the case for *all* characters btw – i think people who knew him before (dick, donna, perhaps leslie or dana if we want to go in the direction of civilians), people who don't even know who he is and don't really care (kyle), or parental figures/older gen (talia or even some jl members) generally have a better set up to get involved with jay in meaningful ways (for both sides involved.)

but when it comes to characters around his age who only heard of him in a context of his death, it's simply... sad, especially that he *is* still a walking tragedy at this point.

now, on the other hand… the lost days? here, there is some grand potential for cass & jay or even jay & steph content. but that’s a topic for a whole another post.

#i'm sorry that i don't have a more interesting answer... i'm really really curious what possibilities you have in mind though! #replying to this ask very late despite knowing exactly what i want to say #sponsored by tumblr crashing and not even saving a draft.
