For once, Luceris refrains from a witty comeback. Instead, he frowns and averts his gaze, looking away from you.
Did he actually get sad I can't believe this.
MC said one too many "kys" jokes 😔😔💔💔💔 /j

sits down at the jeanharry table with my lunch tray. so like here’s how i see it. kinda iffy on whether it’d ever work out after martinaise but before martinaise there is Something going on. they’re not GOOD for each other (in fact harry actively ends up making jean worse but jean was already bad so it’s not like he was innocent) but at the same time they are extremely crucial in supporting each other since neither of them really are close to anyone else which is how it spirals into codependency so fast. yes they frequently fight and rip each other to shreds etc but also they are always hanging out and sometimes they genuinely are just having a good time with each other. and it’s definitely Something that goes beyond simple friendship, but harry definitely holds a lot of internalized homophobia & toxic masculinity and i’m 100% sure that jean does too, so like. the only way that their Arrangement works is if they don’t put a name to it. they KNOW that what they have is more than just two guys being dudes but they just call themselves friends (or partners in the context of work) and it works out fine as long as they both stick to that and refuse to put any more thought to it. yes they do things together that would definitely be considered dates if they were a het couple but they’re NOT a couple and they’re NOT dates because they are two MEN being DUDES. don’t you know harry dated a woman once? he’s STRAIGHT. they’re HETEROSEXUAL LIFE PARTNERS. the feminists hate to see two manly men supporting each other in today’s world. if they support each other by going home and fucking drunk that’s literally none of your business. you will never understand a warrior’s bond.

Okay this is so corny but bare with me
There’s this beautiful wonderful angel of a cat that lives down my road called Spidey, and you guys I’m being so serious IT LOVES ME and I am physically incapable of being normal about this fact.
I don’t know who owns it, I don’t know where it lives, and most importantly I have never in my whole life given it food. And yet ever since I first met it 2 or so years ago, it comes to me.
I’m walking, and it sees me, and it pricks up its ears and sprints towards me, and rubs itself all over my legs and feet and walks around me letting me stroke it (she’s an energetic gal lol spidey never stays still). And when I move to go wherever it was that I’m going, it either sprints after me, following behind, or herds me from the front, trying to stay ahead of me and keep me from leaving it. It always follows me home, and because I have a dog I often just sit outside of my house stroking it for ages until it eventually goes away. There have been many times on sunnier days when I’ve just sat with it laying next to me on the green patch in the middle of my road, giving it ear scratches and just hanging out.
And I’m sure this is a pretty normal experience if you have pet cats or strays living near you, but I just…. this creature chose me. I don’t have to coax it towards me, I don’t have to bribe it with food. I’ve never even given it food before, never given it anything at all other than attention and strokes, and yet it still chooses me. It actively chooses, day after day, to come to me, and say “hi friend, let’s spend time together”.
This little animal loves me, for no reason other than because it just does, and I just think that’s the most beautiful thing in the whole entire world ever actually and now I’m crying again

"It wasn't a bomb, Jes, it was a minor contact explosion. I think you're being a bit dramatic."
"Me?" said Jesper, clearly affronted. "Me?" he repeated, waving his arms at Wylan, who could do little more than lean slightly away from him in the narrow space. "I'm being dramatic?" He scoffed, then shifted a step back to gesture at the shattered porcelain, cracked tiles, and scorched wall in the tight corner at his right. "You blew up our toilet over a spider..."
Wylan crossed his arms and turned away, cheeks red. "It was self-defence," he mumbled. "It bit me in the—" He stopped abruptly, cheeks impossibly redder as his eyes dropped to the floor. "Never mind. I just needed to make sure it was..."
Jesper raised an eyebrow. "Dead?" he suggested, but Wylan didn't answer. He was staring at something in the rubble, breathing starting to quicken. Jesper followed his gaze and saw it just as Wylan all but tackled him into the wall in a bid to reach the door: there was a large brown spider emerging, seemingly unscathed, from between a pile of broken floor tiles.
"Saints, all that and you didn't even manage to kill it?" Jesper called after Wylan, who'd gone scrambling down the hallway. He rolled his eyes to the ceiling, then regarded the spider with a tilt of his head. "Doesn't seem fair that I'd kill you now after what you've survived, so come on, hurry up..." Jesper got down on his knees and reached a hand out for the spider to climb on. "Let's get you outside before my dearly beloved can get his hands on more explosives..."

Bitter breakup rivalry (Patreon)
#Doodles#Wander Over Yonder#Emperor Awesome#Commander Peepers#I dunno lol I just wanted to draw Awesome being pathetic and insulting Peepers and maybe immediately regretting it :)#As much as I think their relationship dynamic could go very well I also think it could go very poorly >:3c They have a lot of potential!#Awesome trying to get too close too fast to manipulate him before he's proven a useful asset would basically be a death sentence hehe#Especially if he tried to flex about it - he definitely has physical might over Peepers but honestly I think that'd just piss him off furthe#Like ''You think you can just sling your weight around and intimidate me? Hah! Who do you think I work for?''#Even with the equivalent of a peashooter I think Peepers could take him on ♪ I mean heck he beat the Potted Plant with just his hat#He's very resourceful! Out of necessity but hey it just means he's practiced! I think he could MacGyver his way out of most confrontations#Plus y'know - Awesome is already kinda pathetic haha ♪ He gets a bruised /ego/ and he goes home what would a smack to his face do#That said he was there for the Battle Royale - I think he's aware of his intimidation factor :) Intimidation is also charisma! Haha#I think a fight between them would be interesting Especially if they brought feelings into it but even just a slugout haha#Awesome's really fun to pose I definitely would've drawn more of him being dramatic if I hadn't run out of room#But I mean so is Peepers! They're so fun to draw ahh <3 Look at his shoe/knee contact! Flat foot on the ground! I'm so pleased!#Only took a very cartoony style to finally get me to work on contact points haha ♪

Snippet Sunday
...so I resisted doing a somewhat angsty scene yesterday!
I did not today.
I want to put a VERY clear trigger warning here for HOSPITALS and MEDICAL EMERGENCIES stay safe thank you I love you
-
Ice always ends up in the same part of the ICU when he has to come in--down an L-shaped hallway in the back, with two solid fire doors blocking it off. Usually there aren’t guards per se, but there are generally concerned doctors and nurses and medical students, who may or may not know who Maverick is and as a result may make the mistake of trying to order him out of the more secure area of the hospital.
Maverick walks right in as though they aren’t even there, barely gives them a glance as he arrows straight back towards the doors into the exam room. It’s not like they’re gonna call security on him without verifying his identity first--he’s wearing captain’s bars on his khakis.
“Sir,” says a nurse Maverick’s never seen before, taking their life in their goddamn hands by getting in Maverick’s way, “I’m sorry, but this area is off-limits--”
“The COMPACFLT’s in residence,” Maverick growls, and keeps walking. The nurse skitters out of his way rather than being run over. “I’m his emergency contact and power of attorney.”
“I--okay but I--can you prove--”
“This is Captain Mitchell,” says Ice--younger Ice, fuck, guess the mini-mes are still following--it doesn’t matter. “And this is… Lieutenant Mitchell. I’m Lieutenant Kazansky--”
“They’re with me,” Maverick says, and doesn’t bother to look back. He rounds the corner and walks straight at the room with some service members in uniform milling in front. 
“Sir,” says the nurse, sounding despairing. “We’re--he’s not allowed visitors--”
One of the servicemen is Silenski--one of Ice’s staff. Maverick nods as he slams the door open and walks right in. “Ice!”
Ice’s head snaps to Maverick, before his shoulders slump--a mix of resignation and relief. He’s sitting upright on the bed, white as a fucking sheet and hooked up to an IV, an oxygen cannula, a heartrate monitor, which is spiking. His eyes are very wide, he’s clearly trying to control his breathing.
He looks scared.
He’s alive. Maverick stands in the doorway, shifting to block the view of the kids behind him. “Someone tell me what the fuck is going on,” he snaps out.

I really like that Yuuji was a well adjusted and popular kid. He's highly athletic with good social skills, high EQ, perceptive, and has an overall good personality. His physical prowess doesn't dictate how he acts or treats others in his daily life.
But then he got in way over his head.
What an unusual shonen hero! He's by far the most normal shonen protagonist I've ever seen. He's not maladjusted, a weirdo, eccentric, gloomy, an idiot, a genius. He doesn't have some grand ideal or dream. He's just. A decent guy.
He's likable and brave and kind. He's not a pushover. He can get annoyed and mad like anyone else, but it's not exaggerated or overblown.
But then life shits on him constantly.
The most "heroic" characteristic you can say of Yuuji is his determination— that he's constantly pushing forward. And even that wasn't especially excessive.
At first, it was because of his positivity; his naivete that let him get past desperate situation after situation. Until it got to the point where even he couldn't ignore the unrelenting traumatic horror his life's become. Then, it's because this is life. This is it. What else is there to do but live? (The alternative is to stop. And it's not like that option wasn't constantly hovering over him anyway.)
Tumblr media
Resigned? Kind of. Acceptance... may be closer. He went from optimist to realist. His realization that he's a cog in the machine... it's based on the fact he was that normal guy.
He already was a normie cog, even if he hadn't consciously thought of it. Then he got exposed to this idea that he was part of this grand destiny; that there was something only he could do.
Tumblr media
(And he kind of was. Kind of wasn't. *hand wavy* Because it was all deliberated by Kenjaku. Not that Yuuji's entirely aware of that yet.)
But he was disillusioned, those thoughts bitterly crushed.
So, he pushes forward, step by step now, as part of this... existence. This world.
It's really entertaining.

I'm convinced the OP who hates Minthara but loves Gortash and Raphael is just a sexist pos
Because why is Minthara being criticised and hated by OP for being "pro-slavery" but Gortash and Raphael are okay even though Raphael used to OWN Gortash and Gortash is enslaving the Gondians??? Raphael owns a sex slave???
And for the racism part it's always "drow are evil and racist" (and even if they are in fact those), yet no one addresses the racism drow also get? Like it goes in both senses, surface elves hate drow elves as much as drow hate them! That's one of the main issues Drizzt faces on the surface!
If I play a drow, the tieflings who are themselves discriminated by the elven druids, are racist and mean to me. The druids are racist to me if I play a tiefling or a drow too!
Shadowheart spends a lot of time in Arc 1 being racist to Githrankis for no apparent reason! But no one is hating her for her racism like Minthara is getting hated for hers (and on the other part she finds the giths really impressive).
also Minthara, past the meeting commentary, never refers to your surface-elf Tav as faery again. She doesn't say another racist thing, I promise you.
It's not like Drow society was a messy cult society where children are indoctrinated to hate every other species but their own. It's not like it's all she has ever known. LIKE GORTASH.
PS: At no point i am justificating or agreeing with her racist or pro-slavery point of view. I am just saying that you cannot pick who you'll shit on for one thing and then turn around to love another character for that one same thing.

Happy Halloween! Trick or treat?
Hee hoo thanks for the ask, anon! Happy Halloween :3 A silly supernatural jaytim 3 sentence paragraph (lol) fic for you:
"For the last time, I am not getting in the damn coffin with you," Jason huffs.
Tim leans out over the polished wood and satin lining, his fangs flashing as he pouts, winding his arms lazily around Jason's neck and burying his fingertips in Jason's hair-- because he's a dirty cheater and he knows that Jason's willpower is brittle as old bone this close to the full moon. He resolves to stay strong, because if you give Tim an inch then he'll take the whole damn continent.
"You don't have to, I suppose," Tim sighs, red eyes flashing from under his eyelashes. "I'll just be here...cold. Lonely. Wanting." He breathes the words against Jason's lips, and Jason whines. Christ. The things he does for this bloodsucker.

Sometimes I may think that it is not ink that fills my pens but my blood of my heart for I have much more ease to catch my heart's woes and desires should I form them down in ink on paper rather than when I should, quite foolishly, attempt to form those same woes and desires in sounds and words since all the words I have at the disposal on my fingers do not seem to reach my tongue.

hey does anyone wanna bounce bellhands/they all went to pirate school together ideas with me? im trying to figure out the missing pieces of my personal set up and it might be easier with someone else!
#if youve never spoken to me before please be aware i will type a whole paragraph in response to one (1) sentence#but if ur down for that! please.#ive got like. the start and the end and a couple bits in the middle fleshed out but it doesn't f l o w#this is the problem with trying to condense more than a years of ideas into one cohesive narrative. i usually swap and change things as#and when it suits so im like. i don't know what i need in this#its just for my silly little tumblr post but#i would appreciate it <3#i can send you what ive wrote and we can go from there or we can start from scratch bouncing ideas or u can just ask me questions#or something to help fill in gaps idk whatever works for u! what ive got is like. a fuckin mess honestly its ramblings and half finished#thoughts and just. its. a complete state and thats not even touching on whats missing (like. anything that matters in the middle basically)#nyxtalks#ofmd#bellhands#sam bellamy#izzy hands#israel hands#if you're unfamiliar with the concept: its Hornigold era stuff; jack + ed + izzy + sam all sailing under him and learning the ropes togethe#im not trying to go into too many details; just the underlying structure that is what I think of when i think of them#its probably not something anyone else cares about but i think i need it for some of the more fun 'what if Izzy went with sam' posts#i realised if i wanted to say what the divergence point was i Needed to establish all this lol#'oh yeah its when izzy chooses sam after the mutiny despite their argument' NYX WHAT ARGUMENT. you need to tell us what u mean

Probably a bit silly and you’ve likely answered this before, but do you think you’re going to come back to “at the Very least, the Wall will change?” I’m just getting into ORV and I want to read some fanfic! I promise I am patient but I’m hesitant to start reading something that’s abandoned. I hope this doesn’t come off as disrespectful! I completely understand burnout (med student here hehe) and there’s no shame is shelving a project for a time if it no longer speaks to you. I just wanted to check
You're right that I've answered this before but like it's totally fair to ask me again after how long it's been lol. Bc like I think about this a lot too and thus the answer/feelings I have about it kind of changes?
Like my journey with this fic has kind of been tumultuous because I started it before I had access to ADHD medication and a lot of my life can be divided into the Before times and the like Now Times where my baseline happiness/standard of care of myself is vastly improved. I outlined all of wall fic before publishing the first chapter and then the scenes I wanted to include took up a lot more time to create than I initially thought they would and that like frustration was really harmful to like my sense of being a "writer," I guess?
Sorry, getting into this bc I'm trying to articulate my own feelings to myself, but I'll tldr; it at the end probably.
Like when I first started wall fic it had like a strangle hold on my imagination and was a way I was able to articulate feelings about things in life. Truth is, I'm someone who has called 911 for suicide/self-harm of friends/classmates like 4-5 times before turning 18. There is this feeling of helplessness I always had as a minor that the world was always ending around me but even when I was up till 5 am making sure my friend got to the hospital ok without any way of really knowing except waiting for a text back, I still had to just buck up and go to school the next day. The emotions I have towards these times in my life really latched onto omniscient reader, because the way it discusses suicidal ideation and what can help with it rang really true to me. I love KDJ a lot, part of that is, in my interactions with suicidal ideation, his sense of narrative inevitability really describes the emotions behind it well, the feeling of "this is the only Solution that will Actually work" is sewn into the fabric of the universe as "probability." And I've actually been thinking about that term "probability" a lot lately, and how it relates to ideas about Narratives. We're always estimating the likelihood of future events based on past experiences, calling things "realistic" or not. But the function of this system in my own life has often been to convince myself to 'give up' on certain things, conserve the energy it would take to try them. Sure that has helped me when Ive not had any free time/energy in crunch times or big projects, but when something is actually important, giving up feels like shit to be honest. Which is part of why I really love and kind of idealize this character of Yoo Joonghyuk, someone who 'never gives up.' To me KDJ and yjh in wall fic represent these two radical sides of a spectrum where someone becomes unhappy by giving up caring about everything and someone becomes unhappy by never giving up on anything. KDJ is then sort of this love letter to people who give up on themselves, people who could never imagine living past a certain age and yet somehow implausibly remain. YJH is a love letter to people who have been left behind and are So aware of their choices and their power over situations that they blame themselves for things that were actually out of their control in the first place. It's these two different ways of interacting with helplessness and grief and fear, giving up knowing you never could have made a difference in the first place or being convinced you could always have done Something and blaming yourself for failing, constantly stressing about what you could have done and what you ought to do the next time it happens.
Codifying these themes into Characters is originally this fun way of exploring emotions I have about them and sharing the experience of feeling them with others without having to tear too much of my self a part. I feel like when we're young it feels like a sense of self is something like a wall, an image of ourself that we have Built and must put in work to Maintain from erosion. This sense of self and protection makes us feel distinct from other people, the line we draw where we begin and end in the universe, and they become rules dictating How we will Act and Appear towards others. Drawing these walls and lines is pretty important to KDJ's perspective in wall fic, but i now realize I had sort of started doing to myself? Towards the middle of writing it?
Just because I've been on the Internet so long, I know the sort of "narratives" of being different "kinds of authors" online. Because of this, when I started posting wall fic, something that was of a lot of concern to me was how I appeared as an Author to people reading. I honestly think now that the performance of things I associated with like Being an Author were more sort of motivated by a fear of failure and disappointing others than anything else. It's kind of only been recently that I've realized that I have a choice to do things because I enjoy them instead of the fear of not doing them, which sounds a little crazy/obvious to be honest, but forcing myself to be an honor roll student for like more than a third of my adolescence while completely unmedicated kind of made that sort of intrinsic fear of disappointing others the ole'reliable of Task Motivation. Participating in ORV fandom has sort of been this emotional tight rope walk for me of like. Kind of really desperately desiring validation from others but also being afraid of receiving it bc of like the pressure it then puts on to Keep Doing the thing that Works and otherwise feeling like a Failure. But obviously like creative writing isn't going to have the same like Fear/Urgency factor as life stuff and it shouldn't feel that way, anyway, tbh. I'm kind of having to like. Re-invent the idea of writing being Fun and Relaxing for myself. And the idea that talking to other people on the internet (also like. People in general I still do this at uni even) does not actually have to have like any performative elements or factors of like? Disguise? Because like my sense of self doesn't actually have to be a wall I keep building and have to repatch whenever someone comes along with a pickaxe like my sense of self doesn't actually need a metaphor attached to it because it just is what it is lol. Like whatever I am RN is my "self" and that meaning would only suffer under the restraint of comparison, lol.
It's been easier to like feel normaler/better quicker in like my day to day stuff, but because a lot of the time I spent previously trying to write wall fic lies in that like that brain space where I felt afraid and stressed out etc I think I currently have like an aversion to sitting down with it out of like a fear of returning to that mindset. Because I'm like looking it in the face and such I do have like strategies of getting over it like doing warmups or taking time to make nice writing spaces and having a name to/strategies to access the creative part of my brain, but that stuff takes time and because it's a lot less likely I'll have writing on the brain than go through my every day life like the process of becoming normaler/feeling better goes a lot faster day to day than in my approach to writing.
Because in my brain the progress of wall fic is a sort of gentle curve I've been trying to shape the growth of upwards, I wouldn't say it's abandoned at all. But also like because the next "update" is not really guaranteed and I'm kind of hesitant to force myself to commit to a timeline for finishing/releasing it, I think it makes sense to like hesitate about starting it as a reader? In terms of a sense of completion, the chapters are organized in such a way that each one concerns a sort of complete Section of KDJ's life/relationships, tho. Like, Chapter 1 shows KDJ and YJH's first meeting as kids and establishes the "soulmate" setting. Chapter 2 shows the life KDJ carved himself to thereafter, how he and YJH's paths have diverged, established the stakes of KDJ's current "world" in a way parallel to the first few chapters of wos/orv. Chapter 3 focuses on how the soulmate worldview and KDJ + YJH's characters/past interact with the way they view children/the idea of "childhood/youth." Chapter 4 is meant to show how that worldview encounters adult life/ adult friendships/relationships, but the final part of it is something I'm still working on a bit. The structure is such that I tend to bring the end of the chapter back to a moment of peace/resolution/settling in the "new world" after the events of the chapter and then writing a one sentence cliff hanger about what the next chapter includes. So if you want to give some of it a read but don't want to be left feeling too incomplete, I'd read up till before the last sentence of Chapter 3, tho that's a bit silly, lol.
I will say again and have said before, I don't mind that much getting thoughtful comments/messages like yours at all. Thoughtful in the sense of like, desiring a response from me as a person, I suppose? Towards the start of writing online i really like needed the validation of little comments to feel good about myself/my work, but now I realize that the thing I like actually desire that ao3 comments aren't often a good format for is that I just like talking/discussing these things with other people. Sometimes comments will make me feel more like an unpaid customer service representative getting feedback or a student looking at a quick note on my report card. The kind I like most are messages where people want to ask me questions, argue with me about something, share something of their own interaction with the text that there's room for me to interact back with them as a person. The thing I hate most is feeling like I care too much about something/talk/think too much to the point that people are tired of hearing from me/form a bad opinion of me.
So like typing this all out has actually put myself in the brain space of remembering some of the things I like to write about and feel and how the current part of wall fic explores them. I'm kind of setting up my computer and such to start working on it like rn actually, hopefully the like feelings I'm having towards wall fic won't evaporate when i have to go to my class in 1/2 an hour or when i try to reread some of what I've written so far lol.
TLDR; Wall fic isn't abandoned or on hiatus or anything, but I am super slow about it lol. If you wanna give it a read I recommend stopping before the last sentence of Chapter 3 if you don't want any "cliff hangy" feelings. Questions like yours that ask me to interact with orv/wall fic/related themes do honestly help me start thinking about it again and I'll probably try to work on some of it tonight bc of you so thanks 👍

Whenever Misto gets the line “My manner is vague and aloof” I want to explode like no one who is vague and aloof would describe themself in such a straightforward way, if they really wanted Misto to sing part of his own song (which I find counterintuitive as a whole (see: the vague and aloof line)) it would have been so easy to give Tugger the lines “His manner is vague and aloof, you would think there was nobody shier” and then giving Misto the “But my voice has been heard on to roof!” line it would make so much more sense cause it would prove the point of the lyrics instead of going against it why don’t they do that instead it makes NO sense to have a character describe themself as vague and aloof wHY
