🕷️ Miles Morales As a Caregiver (Into the spider verse)

🎀 : A/N , He's my comfort fr 😭 he's my favorite spiderman, I'm not sorry (might make a pravitr agere hc post ? 👀 ✨)

🎀 : Edit , I saw the first movie for the first time in a few years, so I updated a few things to make it a little more accurate to Miles himself. So, enjoy!

⚠️ : TW/Mentions : spiders, petnames, physical touch, overprotection mention

🕷️ : When you told him you were an age regressor he would reply rather calmly and chill. Something maybe along the lines of: "oh cool!:) I'm glad you told me”

🕷️ : he doesn't know what age regression meant.

🕷️ : "I know what age regression is.. buut can you explain it to me again?":}"

🕷️ : once you actually explained it to him he might have made a small "awh"

🕷️ : BIG BROTHER CAREGIVER 100%

☕ : he won't admit it but he can be overprotective of you at times.

☕ : he doesn't let you cross the street on your own if you regress under 10. So he mostly holds your hand in public

🕷️ : “Cmon bubba, hold my hand for me, okay?”

🎒 : remember when I mention he can be overprotective? Yeah. Baby carrier 90% of the time. Though he tries to avoid it if you don't like it or don't use it alot

🎒 : though, he WILL use a baby carrier if he took you out on a 'mission'. He just cant really carry you while in the air, and he doesn't want you to fall.

☕ : if you don't like heights he'll literally just run on the ground. He doesn't like scaring you, so he'd just do his spiderman jobs on the ground if he can help it.

🍼 : he loves to play games with you. Wether that be virtual games like Minecraft, or physical games like hide and seek or tag. If it's a physical game, he would play "peek a boo" with you

🍼 : "where did Miles go..? There he is!” *He takes his hands off his eyes*

☀️ : Gwen literally adores you. She loves playing pretend with you, and will drag miles into her shenanigans. If you like dress up, she'd usually play knights and dragons.

🎧 : if you're noise sensitive, he'd make sure to keep his music down or personally buy noise canceling headphones (he designed it himself)

☁️ : If you stim, he stims too. He has a swaying stim, a dancing stim and a leg tap stim. change my mind

💤 : not a super strict caregiver, but you have a bedtime. He can usually be convinced for a longer bedtime schedule for that night with some puppy eyes

💤 : he lives for physical affection. He loves to have you sit in his lap or keep his arm around your shoulder. He was awkward at first when it came to physical affection, but came around rather quickly

🖍️ : if you like to draw he'll let you draw in his notebooks. He'd always end up putting them up on his walls. Ganke thinks it's a nice change of colour

🖍️ : the only person he trusts to babysit you is Ganke. Ganke is one of the most chilled babysitters out there. Semi-verbal caregiver but usually gives you things you might need and letting you do your thing

🖍️ : if grown close overtime, Ganke would Share his comic books with you

🎨 : Miles might've took you to spray paint a wall that one time—

🧃 : his usual petnames/nicknames are between "bubba/bud/little one/prince(ess)"

🕷️ : I headcanon he has a pet jumping spider named "Charlotte" (Charlotte's web reference heh)

🕷️ : if you don't like spiders, he usually doesn't let Charlotte out when you're at his apartment

☁️ Small fic time:D! ☁️

Miles held your hand gently, with a hint of firmness and protection with it. You regressed during school about 2/3 through it and he found out about it. You felt embarrassed since this was the second time this week, but truthfully he didn't really mind. In fact it just made his 'big brother' side come out more. He smiled gently, nudging your shoulder slightly with his. trying to gain your attention as you spaced out. "You okay there, bubba? You seem to be more spaced out than usual.. are you okay?" He seemed to be concerned for you. But kept a gentle tone for you, so he wouldn't scare you accidentally. You shook your head, pouting your lip slightly. You raised your arms up, doing the small Grabby hands to catch his full attention. And unsurprisingly it worked pretty well. He stopped walking and turned to you. "Yeah? You want me to pick you up, little one?” he asked, tilting head slowly before his small neutral smile turned into a goofy grin. "Aw, well, alright then.. c'mon bud” he smiled, picking you up without a struggle. He rested you carefully on his shoulders before walking again.

Fluff alphabet w/ knubbler (remake)

Remaking this because skimming through the old version some of my hcs have changed + I wanna get back into writing for mtl while the rot is here... maybe I'll do some other characters (winks)

No queue we die like men (I'm inpatient and wanna post mtl NOW!!!!(.. quickly realizing why I dont do long posts like this on mobile anymore. Not proof read we die like dethklok fans

Bonus prompt ♡ is PDA

Notes: reader is GN though this is mostly focused on general knubbler hcs

CWs: edit

Attraction

I would say hes a bit shallow but I'm a dickface shipper/j, serious note I think depending on circumstance he can overlook surface level stuff if you're charming enough! I mention in the original post that I think he enjoys feistier folk; outspoken and ready to dish it back if its tossed at them. It keeps things interesting even if it can get frustrating at times. Needs someone with humor, though

Bonding

He tries to make time for you when hes not working, he usually takes you out somewhere. Usually dinner or to the mall- hes bit materialistic and he doesn't mind spoiling you. Music fanatic, listens to everything and looooves listening to some of the stuff you're into, most definitely dissecting it too thanks to his career

Cuddling

Average older person body type, a bit on the cooler side temperature wise. VERY handsy when cuddling most of the time. Prefers to be big spoon but would not object if you turn the tables

Dates

As mentioned he spoils you, so going somewhere nice (and a bit pricy) is a common date experience. Flirting and innuendos aside, dates also double as a catch up thing for you. Again due to him working hard a lot of the time to keep up with his career

Emotion

Hes pretty level headed, though seeing him getting frustrated or annoyed isnt an uncommon occurrence. He has a pretty normal threshold when it comes to bullshit in the day to day- does get a little more emotional if hes under the influence, its just hard to guess which emotion it'll be until hes drunk

Family

Hes not interested in having children, for the most part. Hes had those fleeting "what if" thoughts, but anything more than that? No. That being said I do personally headcanon that he has siblings, who might have children of their own. Rich aunt knubbler supremacy/j

Gift giving

Again, he spoils you. A lot. He can afford it thanks to working with dethklok, and that's assuming hes not also producing for others. Even if hes not giving you something significant, hes sending you roses to remind you you're his

Harsh

He can get short when hes angry but he does try his best to reel himself in and try to find a solution, and depending on the context willing to compromise so both sides are satisfied. Naturally hes easier to work up if hes stressing out. Prefers to go to the side to cool off if things get too intense

Injury

Very similar to the old post, he reacts accordingly based on the nature of your injury. He can be a little insensitive to it, though, but like.. in. a "oh we have different pain thresholds and I kind of forget that" kind of way

Jealousy

Oh this man gets jealousy with a capital J. Want a quick way to get him worked up? Make him jealous. I mean don't becahse that's kind of shitty but. You know. Depending on the context and how the relationship as a whole is going hes either going to toss you to the side or play your game- has the "I didnt lose you you lost me" mentality, kind of gets nasty with it if you really fuck things up

Kiss

Lots of kisses- quick and light, or deep any passionate. Any kiss is a good kiss- tends to favor your mouth of course! Loves being kisses on the cheek

Love language

Guys I don't think I said this yet but he likes buying stuff for you/j

No serious notes, he listens to you. You're someone he can just talk to, no having to worry about your job or your reputation. Just talking. Hes a good listener, actually. Physical touch is another way he shows his love. Not even just sexually; reassuring and innocent hands on the shoulder or a hand steadying you on your back when you're faltering. Things like that

Marriage

Similar to having children hes never really thought about it. He doesnt strike me as the type to settle and commit to something long term, even just having you long term as a non-spouse is a change for him. He might warm up to it one day, he might not

No

A quick dealbreaker is if you put his career in jeopardy. Hes worked way too hard for this and hes not going to let it get wiped just like that. Not even necessarily getting him fired, just interfering in any negative way can put in a lot of tension

Oddity

Goofy ass laugh. Laughs at his own jokes, most of which being bad or corny. That's not even touching on his sexual innuendos. Horrid. Tomato tomato tomato

Petnames

Naturally he calls you babe and baby. Hon and honey are thrown in there every now and then. Oh he would definitely use dumber names in passing, partly because he unironically thinks they're cute and because he likes seeing your reaction

Quiet time

Well I guess it defeats the purpose of this segment being called "quiet" time but that idea earlier of the two of you just sitting and enjoying music together and analyzing it sounds nice. Outside of that the two of you can sit in silence doing something on your own. Life can get hectic, especially when one or even both of you work for dethklok

Risk

He takes risks, calculated ones though. He thinks about the pros and cons of everything before acting, and if it would be better to do it than do nothing if the outcome doesnt look too good. But that's in the context of himself and his work. But with you? Unless you're dying or in danger he tends to play it safe even if he can still come off as a douche every once in a while

Shh

He has his healthy share of secrets. Nothing wrong with that, privacy is important. If he needs to tell you something that he thinks you should know, he will tell you when its appropriate

Tunes

Maybe its because I'm going insane over these songs, and I hope you can forgive me for not linking them but:

Modern day cane and mx sinister

Both by IDKHBTFM. Less of a "you guys listen to these together/it reminds me of knubbler x reader stuff " but because the songs kind of remind me of him in general/I feel hed listen to these

Upset

He tries to work through things when hes upset, but he does separate himself from the situation if it gets too much- whether it be to keep him from saying or doing something hes really going to regret later or because he just can't deal with it in that moment

He offers to listen to you when you're upset, he tends to be unbiased so he can offer a good solution if that's what you need. He does try to spare your feelings but get ready to sometimes hear what you dont want

Wedding

Valentine

Roses, candies, and a reservation to some fancy place- something higher quality than the usual. Definitely the type to try to initiate intimacy on Valentine's

If it DOES happen, hes going all out. Maybe it's the fact hes rich and famous and he can overindulge a bit, but an expensive wedding is likely. It may not be huge, in terms of attendants though. Just friends and family

Xray

Hes gotten very good at reading people over the years so good luck trying to act normal around him if something is going on. If you seem avoidant about talking, he does try to drop hints that you can talk to him

Yearn

Oh this man yearns, both innocently and not so. He copes well enough between the times you are apart or see each other less

Zzz

Snores in his sleep. Has a long routine. Sleeps like a sickly Victorian person; on his back, head tilted backwards, arms sprawled across his torso. Primarily sleeps on his back, though, maybe you can cuddle into his side

Bonus prompt ♡

Looooves PDA, always holding you in some way. If the setting is professional he will keep his hands to himself. Does not mind showing you off, either

oh, mb!! may i have [r]omantic yandere!mizuki hcs?? sorry for the trouble </3

My first headcanons post in months, and it's only right to do this, haha. I'm sorry this took so long, but I did enjoy these! Although they might not be what you expect...

{YANDERE!Mizuki general headcanons!} [R]

꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦

>—-×-—*~.୨୧.~*—-×-—<

WARNING: YANDERE CONTENT BELOW!

Oof, now this is extremely tough, for both Mizuki. Their entire secret revolves around keeping a secret that they fear would ruin their friendships, so them suddenly gaining feelings for someone? Yeah...

At first Mizuki tries to deny their own feelings. You are just their friend, nothing else! They shouldn't try to push it or make something deeper with you! Everything should be fine so long as you two remain friends, right?

Unluckily, love isn't so easy to just shrug off, and once they realize just how bad they have fallen for you, they start to get nervous about their feelings all over again, much like when they had the choice to join Niigo.

They hide their struggles from you, like always, but slowly, they start to drift away. They can't afford to become so attached, to show just how vulnerable they truly are, to rely on you with their darkest, deepest secrets. Unfortunately for them, it's not that easy.

"... Huh? Ah, sorry, I was just soooo caught up in my editing yesterday that I missed our shopping trip! Sorry, but can we put it on hold until this next song is released?... Huh?? What do you mean this isn't like me, just trust me, come on! I'm not THAT lazy..."

As time passes, it's not only harder to lie to you, but to themselves as well. Each day they spend away from you they think of you more, and more. Not only more, but they thoughts start to grow intense.

When they previously just thought about being happy with you, and being the best friend for you, now they wanted to watch over you so that you were always well, and safe.

So, still riddled with guilt and now even more so, they start to stalk you. First, it's just online, making sure you make the right friends, then it's more social, as they apologize for their behavior and resume hanging out with you, and slowly they start peering more and more into your personal life.

However, it wasn't of a desire to market you all theirs, they couldn't bear to take you away from what makes you happy, which they understood was socializing and being free, much like them. However, they wouldn't allow anyone to ruin your happiness.

Mizuki couldn't lie to themselves, they were completely and absolutely in love with you now, but someone like them, riddled with insecurities, lies, and identity issues, wouldn't be enough to make you happy, much less as a lover.

However, that doesn't mean they would remain just a friend... In fact, while they looked at you and felt such conflicting emotions in their heart, whenever they looked at others behind their backs, they didn't even notice their suspicions, paranoia, and wariness rising.

"Hey, you remember that girl that asked for help to study two days ago? How do I know about her- that doesn't matter! What's important, is that she's hanging out way too much with the popular girls! Yeah, you know what that means, be careful!"

If they could only be friends, that means they'll be the best friend they can be: Protecting you from people with bad intentions, helping you make your decisions, making your life brighter each day they possibly could. It doesn't matter whether their need for love hurts even worse every time they're called a friend...

It's not long before every single one of your days is influenced by them, be it getting new friends and letting go of others, changing your daily routines, and spending almost every single hour of the day in constant contact with them.

However, it doesn't matter how many times you chat with them now, as opposed to their earlier behavior, you can't help but feel like something's off... Their movements are more intense, their voice as well, yet they only want to talk about you, and shrug off any other friends they mention quickly...

This isn't easy for Mizuki, they love you so much, so much it hurts to be far from you. But they can't love you like you deserve, they shouldn't be the only one. They'll just keep an eye over you, lead you down the right path, keep you safe.

Oh well the Four and Wind fanfic was well received for a starter, thank you! Anyways, something that has been weighing heavy on my mind is Legend headcanons. I feel like y'all get him wrong and label him as a softie for you and only you, etc. I am a huge Legend fangirl, so here are my hcs.

Legend Headcanons

- He has OCD. I don't care what you say, he does. He has the organization side of OCD. Like anything in his house that is misplaced almost gives him a panic attack. He has to use a map, go down the path or he'll make you restart if you take a single wrong step.

- Yandere. I said it. Not in the like super cliche way but he will steal your stuff. You'll think they are lost and after about three days or when you ask him, he returns it and acts like he found it for you. He wants you to like him for finding your prized possessions. The only thing he'll keep is like a shirt that you don't like. Not going to elaborate.

- No matter what y'all say, what you do, HE DOESN'T BLUSH. Impossible. He cannot blush even if he wanted to. His skin will get very hot and he'll sweat in embarrassment but he doesn't blush.

- Back to the yandere kind of, he's still mean. You don't "change" him. He's the same as he was before you met him. He's definitely somewhat nicer to you, but his teasing is much different. He downright lies to you. Especially when it comes to Warriors or competition. Example: You - "Oh I really like Warriors, he is so kind to me and has been welcoming since the start. I..I think he might like me, he gets all red when I talk to him." Legend - "Actually, don't tell anyone I said this, but he was groaning to himself about how you are such a headache, how annoying you are. It's hard for him to fake liking you and that's why he gets all red. He's angry. He hates you. You're a pest to him, a pawn. But don't worry, I'll always be here for you. Don't trust the others, trust me." He manipulates you into false security and that you can only trust him. "They don't love you, no one does. Except me. I love you. Stay, don't leave. You'll regret it"

- He isn't romantic at all. He never plans dates. You're dates are just doing missions together, reading together, traveling, stuff of that sort.

- Pet names. He isn't big on them. He'll either call you your name or your nickname for the most part. The only other ones he uses are love (maybe my love?) and doll. Really depends on the situation. Casually, your name or nickname. Without others around, love or my love. In a more like idk, private situation (get your head out the mud I'm a PG writer) he'll call you doll. In like a yandere, possessive way.

Okay that's it for now, if I think of more I'll edit this post and add more. I like how when writing this I was thinking to myself "Why is he my favorite..." Haha. *Sigh* anyways I hope y'all Legend girlies liked this er whatever. Have a good day or night💗

[thesherrinfordfacility]

it's high time that i redid the ✨masterpost✨ of all the shit floating around this blog where i say anything arguably insightful, existential/philosophical, or even just teetering on the cusp of being vaguely intelligent, so voila here you go and fucking enjoy:

worth having a looksie through this: longwinded anon (LWA)✨ masterpost

and then because i am actually so proud of these i did video edits to lewis capaldi (he's my hozier fight me) and im sorry but my beat matching is insane, godlike even:

season 2 (forget me)

season 1 (heavenly kind of state of mind)

also:

did i get emotional over crowley's fall and having to leave behind his creations and aziraphale's various conflicts in faith? you're goddamn right i did (credit to hillywood for the fall scenes that sent me into a frenzy)

stuff that is potentially relevant to s3 or is essentially my safe space to shit on these two incompetent-ass characters for being the most ridiculous beings god ever conceived:

(be warned, all of these will conflict each other bc im a loose cannon, a wildcard, and can't settle on a single thing)

(no seriously my opinion changes over time so interpretations that i once held might no longer be the interpretation that i have now, ya feel me)

you wanted a s3 plot prediction, right?

aziraphale brought an ak-47 to a fist fight and ohooo boy did it have Consequences

god i really ought to work out a tagging system in here, huh - this is my ramble on what i think could have happened during the fall

just a small one on the 1967 scene and the holy water thing (tw: suicide)

crowley found the book of life and tbh it was very james bond of him

saraqael rapidly slotting into my top 5 GO characters based on a singular hc wahoo

fuckin ✨1941✨ (this also upsets ALL of my interpretations of the Final Fifteen which... well what can u do)

a fucking rug just put shivers down my spine

more on raphael/azazel/scapegoat/fall theory, glorious smart anons are feeding me yummy soup

perhaps a more comprehensive rambling on omelas, scapegoats, and Those Promo Photos

an updated maggie rambling why not, she's still giving me a headache (and this ask neatly summarises some stuff too!)

my boy crowley really doesn't like change, does he wee baby (may develop this into a full meta who knows)

you know i think heaven might just be the bad place, i know - shocker

god i hope i was possessed by agnes nutter when i wrote this

a gifset format bc i cba to write, but aziraphale might have been, or might become, raphael

ive lied like a rug in previous theory posts: THIS one, this time travel clusterfuck, is the bottom of the barrel

spent hours studying michael sheens face in utter disbelief that he is capable of portraying every emotion known to man, and wrote about it (ie my take on the kiss)

i think goob might have been more important in the mega miracle than we initially thought (and no - not in the way you're currently thinking)

aziraphale and suffering are pretty well acquainted with each other (warning: i absolutely HATE this meta it's so bad)

um i guess you could term this as god is dead theory? nietzsche strikes again anyway

we REALLY hit rock bottom in the theory stakes with this one, lads (it's about whether crowley does in fact fully remember the fall)

(REWORKED) greasy johnson is the second coming. that's it. that's the post.

finally wrote about the book of life well done me

crowley was offered the same chance as aziraphale, im fairly sure, and as far as ive seen noone noticed??

the motif of lies in job made me come over all poetic

relativity is NOT my milieu especially in GO but giving it my best shot

hahaha is everything aziraphale's fault hahahaha

fuckinnnn BOOOOOOKKKSSSSS

EVERY DETAIL MATTERS? YEAH I SHOULD FUCKING THINK SO (and im still keeping this on here bc if im right in s3 im never going to shut up)

job is crowley and crowley is job except job didn't get sent to sit on the naughty step

never thought id see the day where i analyse richard curtis' 4WAAF but this show has got me whipped, jumping through hoops and over stalls like a fucking show pony

i have the dreadful feeling that we might have been fools by sleeping on aziraphale's own angelic importance all this time

did the costume department just simply go ham in s2 or are the angel costumes Important?

more on outfits

ruminations on the fall, morality and omniscience vs. free will, and making choices as if i have any idea what im talking about

okay this one is a little shitpost-y but the message is sound and im an un-apologetic aziraphale supporter, sue me

a sprinkle of s2 symbology, a dash of ineffable plan speculation, and laure girlbossing on how the two go together mwah

this was sooooo tasty i love talking about nietzsche

honestly this one doesn't even have a theme i just like talking to people

okay so this is the genesis of my aziraphale defence league (population: like 15% of the fandom) but i will not stop until he gets the recognition and empathy he mf deserves

Cancel Metatron 2k23

this was pre-s2 but the concept still stands: something feels icky about crowley's fall narrative and the book of life is ringing alarm bells

the concept of pedestals is one of my juicy favourites in psychology and you will find out just how much if you stick around this blog long enough (aziraphale's critique)

and lastly crowley's narrative of his fall? hm, big issue there and honestly the root of all Crowley discourse on this blog, be duly warned

old stuff if you fancy having a giggle at my expense

come chat to me about things

#good omens #no need to interact if you dont want to but feel free to like #this is honestly so i don't have to scroll through my blog shitpit to find old theoties etc #toodles✨

psa: hcs and portrayals

I feel like I've reached the point where I follow so many people that I can no longer keep everyone's particular portrayals, headcanons and canon-divergences in mind. Generally before I reply to someone and there's a specific thing/topic I'm no longer sure about, I check the person's rules and info again - however, I might not do that if the headcanon or divergence in question is something smaller or more casual within canon (so it doesn't occur to me that you'd be divergent in that aspect).

So at this point I just want to say: I never disregard your headcanons or canon divergences on purpose. I simply might be following 2-3 duplicates of yours and I mix them up in my head because I am terrible with names and URLs. I read everyone's rules before I follow, always. If I write with you and I assume something in a post that is game canon but you changed it in your hcs and I missed it or forgot about it, please just drop me a note and I'll happily edit it in my reply/post if it bothers you. Rest assured it wasn't on purpose.

hi! it's me, nana / koinotame!

if you're wondering why i went inactive and then deleted, my mental health kind of (really) tanked... and i ended up deleting my blog in a fit.

it's getting better bit by bit though! and i've been wanting to get back into writing (and talking abt my unhinged/yan ideas i can't really talk to anyone else abt), so. here i am! for now, at least

as for my previously posted writing, there's some good news and some bad news: the bad news is that everything i wrote directly into tumblr (99% of snippets, a lot of ask answers, most exact content warnings, etc) is gone. the slightly less bad news is that iirc there were very very few posts of mine that weren't reblogged by anyone at all, so they're probably still out there? feel free to send them my way if you find any and i'll rb them. @/midnight-remembrance also has reblogged a couple of them! there's a couple snippets i have saved in some places, so i might repost those on my own as i find them, but there's very few of those. the good news is that anything longer (proper writing — oneshots, hcs, yan alphabet responses and so on, prompt responses, etc) is safely backed up where i originally wrote it! some of it is also on my ao3, which is the same username. feel free to send me asks about any you'd like to see again and i'll repost them! i might not post them if i feel too embarrassed about/wish i hadn't posted them, and i might rewrite/heavily edit some of them, but i think there's only a handful that fall into the former category and none of them were particularly popular. either way, no harm in asking!

as for some other updates: i'm a little divided on whether i want to keep posting explicit nsfw or not so we'll see. i might just keep it out of main tags. idk yet. regardless of what decision i make, this blog is still strictly 18+ and that will not be changing. since we can reply from sideblogs now, this is a sideblog and not my main now. why? sometimes i prefer to check up on a blog frequently instead of following them for a couple of reasons, but this felt very awkward when they were following me. so this being a sideblog relieves a bit of that stress. if this makes it sound like i have severe brain worms, it's because i do. to that effect though, if we interact every so often feel free to consider us mutuals regardless of whether or not i'm actually following you =w=b tbh i.............. am not really into genshin anymore. i might post about it here and there but i just Do Not (really) Care about it anymore. scara aside to some degree i also have no clue what's going on post inazuma lol whatever projects or commitments to writing or etc i had made beforehand. i forgot all of them so just pretend that never happened ok? ok i'll also probably be posting more sparsely, but we'll see! and (this is obviously the most important bit) i have no clue where i put the mika edit so we're back to my og classic pfp. the header scales terribly and is temporary, please ignore that too

all that aside, as a treat for anyone who sees this in time,

*roughly 6/22 done, but fairly quick to write. roughly one paragraph per character (sneak peek line: "it's not too hard to be discreet with his unique magic when someone really deserves to fall face down a flight of stairs. or three. oopsie. odd they don't remember it, huh? well, he had nothing to do with that.") **more realistic isn't quite the right word(s)... probably won't post this one to the main tags regardless. won't be doing all of the characters (only important/relevant ones) and won't be writing more about/expanding on, so this one is just like. a one off experiment sort of thing. overall less violent than most takes on the au + leans a bit (or lot, depending on how you look at it) more on the religious aspect of self aware aus. i wrote a couple paragraphs a while ago, then rewrote them, but i'll only finish/post them if there's interest for it (sneak peek line: "aether has deluded himself and cast You aside entirely on his own—and when You finally grace them with Your real presence, zhongli is certain aether will be the first to fall from Your grace.")

i have one other new thing immediately ready for posting that'll get posted in a couple of days but that one's pretty silly

#koinotame #and hi to the three people that found this blog before i posted this o/ #long post #i ended up writing a lot. ehem. #<- the type to always have trouble getting essays down to the max word limit #if nobody ends up seeing this. well. it'll be here still when i post some actual writing #q

[battlemaiden13]

Ps-

If youre not comfortable writing requests or hcs feel free to ignore that part, i might have misunderstood a bit as i took another glance over your bio thats my bad. Either way love your writing <3

HEEEEY I'm using this ask to answer your question on your request cause I am totally ok writing it! It just might take me a while to get to it.

But you asked if I was still updating House Next Door! Yes, yes I am!! I'm planning on posting the last chapter of Part 1 today actually~ It took me a bit to write because I wanted it to be perfect and had it revised three times.

After that I'm going to re-edit all my chapters. Not add any new information or anything but I'll make sure its all coherent, fix some formatting and make it easier to read.

After that I'm gonna start working on Part 2! I think I'm going to keep it all in one place even though AO3 has a function to make stories a part of a series. And the title might nor work anymore but I don't think I'll change that either.

So yes it's still updating and I'm excited to keep writing it.

*hits my sona with addisonification beam* hi

inspired by @tolabia's post abt what color addi you would be and what would you sell!! firewall was technically born that day... nd then i made her cooler by giving her an aux cord tail

sprite edit closeups and more info under the cut :D

i see that everyone makes small and big versions for stuff like this so. me too

Note i am not good at pixles

OK SO first off, the name firewall is entirely unrelated to anything abt them, its just a play on the fact that i go by Torch and Firewalls are a computer thing

multiple design elements are borrowed from my main sona! the hair shape, her eyes being light/dark + 3rd color, and the fact she has sharp teeth and a mask & tail

makes you accept terms and conditions before buying her $1 thought, which legally lets her follow you around until you pay her or she somehow runs out of things to talk abt

carries the speaker everywhere, keeps it in her inventory outside of work hours

the voice that comes out of the speaker is theirs! but changes based on what theyre thinking abt. for example if they have a certain song stuck in their head, youll just hear whatever part theyre thinking abt

her tail is compatible with anything an aux cord can be plugged into!! the broadcast wont stop unless she gets unplugged, the device itself is turned off or muted, or she somehow manages to just Stop Thinking

the Shut Up price varies, but its never below $100 unless you reeaallyy beg for it, she might have mercy on you. youll hear her exact thought process as she decides whether or not to give you a discount

in more personal settings, they talk normally so they can plan their words better. in situations where itd be difficult for them to say something out loud, theyll use the speaker instead

feels more vulnerable without the mask than literally broadcasting their every thought

However. has absolutely embarrassed themself by leaving the speaker on in certain situations. like noting that someone cute walked by only for that person to hear it

extra fluffy under the uniform :3

undecided if other addisons can have tails too or if she gets to be my specialest girl..

theres no real reason she cant keep up the Customer Service face, its just too tiring for her and the facade breaks more often than not. shes better at keeping up the smile so she only wears a masquerade mask

personality wise, theyre just sort of bubbly! gets rlly passionate abt the things they like and are eager to ramble to anyone wholl listen! does try to be genuinely polite and friendly but the addison nature of needing to sell can get in the way at times

im stealing the glowy addisons hc and also addis purring so Yeah firewall does that too. they glow a lot when theyre excited and they also make chirps and trills ^^

can also get Quite Anxious and overthink a lot. if the speaker is on, itll be easy to catch and talk her out of it with some reassurance :)

Pinned Post

Hi there! I'm Stitch. This is sort of the...hq for my brainrot archive? I suppose. I post a lot about Hermitcraft and the Life Series with Empires slowly sprinkling its way in, but I also just post random nonsense sometimes. Pigs? ✅ Portal? ✅Nancy Drew? ✅ Anything my gay little heart desires. I don't really tag things that aren't oc but that might change who knows. Also I DO ship things, so. Not your cup of tea, probably should click away. My writing tag contains both links to my AO3 posts and also snippets that I don't put on AO3. This Pinned Post is probably going to be subject to edits occasionally - keep an eye out for new AUs. Also - I'm physically disabled and I sometimes post about it or reblog posts about disability - I keep them tagged as resources [see below] so that artists and writers and other people can all reference them and learn. If you have any questions about disability stuff, please don't hesitate to send me an ask! I love talking about it!

Also - I happen to be really into Redstone. So much so that I've made a number of resources for beginners/people who are just look for the basics for fics and art. They can be found under Stitch's Redstone Help.

I have two ongoing fanfics - Rift AU [Mumscarian] and The HC X Portal AU [Mumscarian] I share with @made-nondescript

little Diasomnia hcs I have regarding the Valley of Thorns that I need to share bc I based half of a fic on them:

[06/2023 Edit: so, ch7 is reveling a lot of Malleus and Lilia's backstories in general and I'll have to catch later to adapt my own hcs to "fit" the canon. I do plan on keeping this post bc I loved writing this fic and I might still keep a lot of my ideas intact (at least, for the faes of my dear hc'd Valley of Flowers). Just a little disclaimer that this was pre-ch7 and 100% fanon of my part.]

There’s two regions in the country generally known as Briar Valley: the Valley of Thorns (in which the diasomnia crew lives) and the Valley of Flowers (that I’ll use it more in the future for other purposes);

The Great Fairy War was a civil war between the two valleys in the time period when Lilia was the Thorn’s army general with an insatiable lust for blood. Something happened, he got struck by the realization of the state that war brought to both lands and decided to change his ways, included his perceptions about humans and the flower faes;

Lilia was friends with both the King and Queen of Thorns, which lead him to be Mephisto’s (Malleus’ father) tutor and also eventually being Malleus’ tutor as well. Malleus was born ten years after the end of the war, son of Mephisto and Tauribeth;

Tauribeth, Malleus’ mother, is a dragon-fae from another clan. The Queen and Mephisto have Draconia blood, the House that rose to the Thorn’s throne because of their strength and power even among their species. You can say that the few dragon-fae clans are loyal to the Draconia’s as their head-house;

The expressions “sir my father/madam my mother” are irl expressions I’ve heard some colleagues refer to their parents (mostly their mother) in moments where the parent shows authority. Like, yk when you say “yes, madam”? Kinda like that. It’s not like every child says that, but it’s sort of an old expression for these specific moments. 

My use of these expressions here is to establish this sense of formality in the noble families, even if they have close blood-relationships. You can even parallel it with how Silver refers to Lilia as “my old man”, in a completely informal manner;

My addition to it is that, if Lilia has some noble blood or comes from an influential family like the Vanrouge’s, he probably was taught to talk like that but didn’t want Silver to do the same and ended up building this wall between them;

So, between “dad” and “old man”, Lilia was happy with anything as long as Silver knew that he had a dad that loves him. Someone that is his father before being his lord/sir or commander. His family. 

I have so much more of these and there's still some pieces of info that readers won't understand yet but, hey, it's all about the build up

#twisted wonderland #malleus draconia #lilia vanrouge #silver #twst silver #twst headcanons #valley of thorns #cherry's writing #the amount of non-canon lore that i planned #regardless of either not being truth #or not going that way #i'm just having fun with these... #even with the drama parts actually they're the best part #cherry's mumbling about twst

I love your fics sm, do you have any wipes or hcs you'd be willing to share?

aw, thank you friend! i'm very glad you like them! xx <3

and so sorry this took so long-but yes! i have a few things i'm willing to share!!! :>

here's a small snippet of a small stede fic i'm workin on!

->->-> Stede turns around quickly at the sound of his name, still holding onto the {trinket} tightly. At the sight of his friend, he quickly dons a smile that is only the tiniest bit exaggerated. 

“Edward!” he calls back, trying to keep his usual cheery tone but finding it becoming increasingly difficult. “Need something?”

Ed just shakes his head and brings his hand up to scratch at the back of his head where his hair is tied up. “No-no, just wanted to check in.” He chuckles, <-<-<-

i can't think of any particular trinket he might be holding, so excuse the {trinket} bit lmao. maybe someone has an idea? the trinket is sort of an important piece of the fic.

the working title is 'small stede and a very clueless ed' :> it's a canon era fic that i sorta imagine set between ep. 5 and 6? if i had to put it somewhere.

-----

here's another small bit of a fic that i honestly haven't worked on in a while-

->->-> Izzy is sitting on his bed, his back leaning against the wall while he plays with one of the ties that are usually wrapped above his elbow. That Lucius had been so kind to untie when Izzy had fussed about them. 

There hasn’t been much talking from Izzy yet. Just a few short sentences in the beginning, that turned into single words, and eventually evolved to babbles. 

Lucius didn’t mind really. He actually found it quite cute. 

“Look at you,” He finds himself cooing. “having fun?”

Izzy just makes a soft noise that sounds like an affirmation. Quickly returning to chewing on one of the ties. <-<-<-

this is from (what is supposed to be) the next fic in my MIHISHAA series-and i apparently haven't edited the doc since september-whoops

-----

here's a couple ideas i have!

stede pretending to be a doctor and taking care of ed (partially written)

the next part of my little izzy w/ cg lucius series (partially written)

the second chapter for Don't Cry, My Dear (partially written)

ed and little izzy wrapping up presents (which i posted on here as an unfinished fic, but i do plan on finishing it!) (halfway written)

mod au jack and little izzy (because jack is soft for izzy and no one can change my mind)

and i actually have an idea for a new series but i'm still not so sure about it- the working title for it is 'Baby Steps'. i'd love to talk about it more if anyone would like to hear more about it!!! there's still plenty of things i'm still trying to plan out for it :3

-----

i have so many WIPs but i have such a hard time finishing them 😔

i know there is literally no pressure to finish them by a certain time, but it stresses me out nonetheless. i honestly dunno why i've been having such a tough time trying to finish a fic-

but maybe writing for a few other fandoms would help? i had started to write about other fandoms but that quickly stopped lmao-but i think i'll be trying to do more of that!

still, how much i post about these pirates shall go unaffected!!! they're my lil guys <3

i have this like one hc that pro-hero work involves a lot of traveling, especially in the beginning. they move here for six months and then there for four and then here for 14 and so on, just to get experience out in the field.

so it only makes sense you and bakugou end things, right at the start of his career.

and it's okay. it is. bc you both love each other and you know that, know that it's not ending bc of any huge, terrible fight that makes you enemies of one another. all the memories you'll carry can stay gold, not tarnished by anything other than the bittersweet distance.

getting used to it takes a little time, that's all; before he was your boyfriend, he was your friend, first and foremost. someone you had inside jokes with and had similar interests you could talk to about for hours, things that you only did with him and no one else. things only he knew. and not getting to tell him exciting news about college or ask if he saw the limited edition, golden age all might nendoroid they're releasing at the end of the year...sucks. it feels wrong, like these are things he's supposed to know, no matter what. things you're supposed to talk about.

you call him five months into his eight month nagoya contract and he doesn't answer. you think maybe he changed his number and didn't tell you, bc he doesn't actually have to anymore. bakugou has always been good about self control, keeping to himself, and it wouldn't surprise you if he's written you off without a second thought—bc this is how it's supposed to be when you break up with someone.

it's not until the next day that you get a text, late in the evening.

[9:26 PM] did you mean to call me

of course you did, but maybe you shouldn't have. hearing the line ring over and over again—it's cemented the realization that he's not thinking about you anymore. that he's moved on and you should too and he probably doesn't want to hear whatever if is you want to talk about. he'll probably just think you're weird. clingy.

yeah, but it's nothing important [9:32 PM]

he reads it immediately and—nothing happens. and you think that's it. hopefully you didn't come off too passive aggressive and now he thinks you're mad that he didn't answer. maybe you should have put an emoji, the little smiling one with the hands to show no biggie ! maybe you should have just said that, or that you couldn't remember the name of that hiking trail you did together two summers ago, but then you googled it and didn't need him anymore. or something.

he calls at 10:03.

your heart is in your throat when you pick up, beating like crazy bc you haven't heard his voice in a while. "uh, hello?"

and he hesitates too; his drawn out inhale doesn’t go unnoticed. "hey."

there's a brief period of silence on the line, some light shuffling on his end. sounds of cars passing, the rare honk of what traffic lingers this late at night. the wind scratches by, audible, and you shiver despite being in your own bed. you imagine him under a dim streetlight, fully outfitted.

bakugou huffs, "you called me?"

"yeah," you blink and sit up, though you don't know why. maybe because this needs your full attention, or because you don't want your voice to get muffled by your pillow. "i was just, uh—my roommate. she asked me if i've ever been to gekikara gourmet festival—"

"oh my god."

it's the exasperation in his voice that makes you laugh, so vivid, exactly as you remember it, and you can picture the face he must be making. "i know, i was like 'oh boy, have i'."

"d'you tell her you puked—"

"—with my head between my knees while sitting on that kiddie slide, yes i did."

he snorts, just the way he did as he patted the back of your head that night, awkwardly, standing beside you with a fist at his side. "told you not to try those fucking noodles."

you agree. "they were making even you sweat, i don't know what i was thinking."

it had been one of your first official dates, and you think all the spicy food didn't help with your restless nerves. it always felt stupid, looking back on it, to be so afraid; you'd known bakugou forever, and the only difference between that night and the many you'd spent before as friends was that he'd kissed your temple, lips red from spice and all. it was just bakugou, you thought. what was there to be anxious about?

and now the silence is making your stomach turn.

"yeah," you continue lamely, "nothing important, it just—made me think of you."

he doesn't say anything. if it weren't for the distant slam of something—a trash can lid or car door—you would think he hung up. he's always had a hard time with his words and you don't really even understand why he called instead of texting. if there was something he wanted to say to you, you aren't sure he could.

"so, i guess i'll let you—"

"y'got a roommate now?"

"uh, yeah." something ugly in your stomach wants there to be jealousy in his tone, and you shake your head to be rid of the thought. because it shouldn't matter. "she's in a couple of my classes. big fan of, like, kpop and stuff."

he snorts again and you can imagine the roll of his eyes, bright with amusement despite the frown on his lips. you love that look on him; so content that it felt out of his character, something he wanted to hide. being the cause of it has always been so sweet. "different apartment?"

today i am thinking about. like. soulmate/arranged marriage au with bakugou.

it's common to get married once you find your pre-destined other half, bc there isn't anyone else out there for you, anyway, and it takes a little while for you and him to come across one another. late twenties even, and by this time, you're both so sure you're defective and that it will never happen and have given up completely on ever knowing what love is.

(you — a painfully average human being — having to be pried from your car after a minor accident. by pro-hero dynamight. and he touches you and you touch him and an oven timer goes off in your head. some box is checked deep inside your heart. both of you, at the exact same time, think: oh. it's you.

and then you're left standing at an intersection, awkwardly staring at one another as you're swarmed by media and fans and the other driver of the car, who is demanding all your insurance information.)

your wedding night is — boring; you sleep with your back to one another and don't say much beyond half-hearted conversation. he looks angry or deep in thought 99% of the time, frowning, and even though you knew that from seeing him on tv for years, it's more intimidating up close and in your face.

dynamight — bakugou — is gone a lot of the time, with work, leaving you alone in his nice three-bedroom more often than not. it's comforting almost, because you don't particularly feel anything for this man and you're allowed to expand in his space without being under his metallic gaze, making it your own as you please.

it's not unusual for you to fall asleep without him in a big, empty bed, untouched and unbothered — though he doesn't do either even when he's in it. he keeps his distance and you want him to, for now at least; you kissed once during the ceremony and a handful of times after that, when it felt right: after he made you dinner, two weeks into your marriage; when he got in from dubai after being gone for 12 days; you met kirishima and ashido recently — finally, they said — and he'd surprised you in the garage afterwards, leaning a little more into it than he typically does, though you think his two, small glasses of something amber and sweet at dinner might have helped with that.

not this morning though. because you'd been more than half asleep and hadn't even noticed him all night and therefore weren't even prepared to say goodbye. a hand at on your shoulder, maybe, before he left and then —

and then mina called. to tell you what happened. what hospital. how bad it was.

"he's uh—" you're blank, voice lost under the chatter of the emergency room, blinking at the receptionist in surprise. all the beeping and the squeak of shoes across the linoleum, the hurried instruction and calls for clear! are making you — "bakugou, he's uh—katsuki is—"

you're feeling a lot of things, and nothing, all at once. mostly regret, furious with yourself at the simple fact that you didn't even wake up properly to tell him goodbye, to have a nice day, that you never do. it's been almost half a year and you haven't even called him by his first name to his face, haven't given him permission to call you by yours. he's never seen you naked and you've been too scared to know if you even wanted him to.

you've been complacent in the distance and now it's getting further and further, as a machine flatlines just down the hall.

"my wife,"

when you turn, katsuki's standing across the lobby, peeking out from a room that's much quieter, that looks less intense. half of his face is bandaged up and his arm is in a sling, but — he looks —

"she's my wife," he croaks again, and mina appears, too, cringing under the heated glare he gives her. "told you 'm fine."

you feel a lot of things, all at once, but when he fixes you with his sleepy, half-lidded gaze, blinking soft and slow and gentle, you think: oh. of course it's you.

oh me, oh my, the cowboy bakugou brainrot that i have HAD. i've decided he's perfect for it. 100% has it down pat. whew doggy. can you IMAGINE him in his levi's and his soft cotton tee and his square-toed work boots hello??? HELLO???? and a HAT goodbye

he's like. okay so he's this guy from your teeny home town, right. someone you knew in high-school, maybe weren't friends with but had classes together and had friends of friends of each other. and he was always kind of an asshole and had a truck by the time he was like 16 and never could go out on the weekends or stay out late bc he was always helping his dad. and he never left -- but you did.

and you come back on a random night, for whatever reason, and your old friends take you out to some local bar that you can't believe is still up and open and running and. he's there. little drunk and loud and so fucking handsome. tan from working outside, fit from lifting hay and roping horses and his hands are rough and maybe a little dirty and he's just in a shirt and jeans but god. he looks so good.

and he's so smooth too. all "fancy seein' you here" and "looks like someone grew up right", smells like fresh cut grass and sharp aftershave. pats your hips to get your attention. oh yeah, you're going home with him. no doubt. he still drives that fucking truck, single cab, and before he even can get out of the parking lot, he's got a hand up your shirt and his mouth on yours and he's got to physically strap himself in so he can drive back to his house.

and he's great and rough and you can't believe the best sex of your life is from this country boy from back home. wild.

but. he's still kind of an asshole. and by the morning, he's grouchy and not as smooth and leavin' by the crack of dawn bc he's got shit to do. the little chickens in his yard are talking outside his window while you get dressed, maneuvering around his home as carefully as you can. being in there alone, knowing he's probably ready to be rid of you -- makes you feel like you're doing something wrong. so you call your friend to come get you, sitting on his porch -- that he built himself, by the way -- and just. watching him. out in the field, sheepdog running behind him and the horse he's riding. he's got his hat on bc the sun is fully out by now and beating down on the back of his neck and you can tell he's already sweating.

he lives a little further out of town than you or your friend realized, so you're just waiting when he comes back to sit beside you on the porch, all quiet. his dog comes up too, relishing in all the attention you give him until bakugou pushes him away, telling him to get on.

he doesn't smile as much now that he's sober, just frowns at you. "didn't think i'd see you 'round here again."

the dog comes back and you don't care. you scratch at his fluffy ears anyway. "didn't think you'd notice i was even gone."

he snorts, boots scuffing in his gravel drive as he shifts. "don't be dumb, 'course i noticed."

and you two weren't friends in high-school, hardly ever spoke to one another. maybe saw him in the hallway or thanked him when he opened doors for you. sat in front of him in class or next to him on those rare friday night football games he got to go to, when it was starting to get cold and he would give you the carhart off his own back just 'cause you were shivering and he ran hot anyway.

and he still does, beside you on the porch. when you look up from his dog, he's peering at you with all that heat, tipping his hat up a little to see you better.

"got eggs 'n shit, if you're hungry. if you wanna --" he lifts the bottom of his shirt to wipe at sweat on his brow and yeah. yes. whatever he's gonna say. yes. "if you wanna stay and eat."

good thing you got no phone signal out there, bc you didn't really wanna leave anyway.

look. i just. want to talk about bakugou after your first big fight. bc i think he eventually becomes the type of person that knows when he's being too mean but he still can't stop. like you say one thing in defense to him and he takes it a step too far and immediately thinks, why the fuck did i say that—and then you get angrier and so he gets angrier and his inner monologue is just like shut up shut up shut up shut up before you say something you don't mean literally stop.

and so maybe he leaves, just to cool off.

not in the middle of the fight, but it's not resolved either. there's a lull between the little back and forth quips, all the "well i'm not saying that you—" and the "no, you're fuckin' saying—", the "don't cuss at me, katsuki—" and the "then don't talk to me like 'm—" and then it's silent. he's got more to say and so do you—but at the same time, he's just. over it. whatever started the argument in the first place has been left behind, anger moreso stemming from what's happened since the first shot was taken (by him, of fucking course), and he doesn't want to fight with you of all people. not you.

and the longer he's gone, the more it just spins around and around in his head. everything he said and the way he said it and why he said it, why the fuck did he say it. bakugou is—he's too used to fighting, too good at it bc that's all anyone has ever done with him. that's all anyone has ever shown him, that irritation, that push-back, that quick judgement and eventual avoidance. fed up with it. with him.

by the time he comes home—if he can call it that anymore—he knows it's over. he knows this is the part with the "i just don't think it's working out—" and the "really can't handle this right now—", the "you're an asshole—" and the—

and the worst of all is just the abandonment. the worst of all is when he'll come back to that apartment and you'll just be gone. you'll come and get your things over time, stuffing it all into cardboard until there aren't any traces left. until all that's there is the walls and the carpet and the frame and just. bakugou. alone. again.

but he walks through the door and you're just—there. washing some dishes, folding the laundry, poking at your phone because you can't sit still. and you frown at him with a little crease between your eyebrows, bc you're still mad and he knows this is it, this is when you look him in the eye and you tell him—

"i can't find the tv remote."

".......y'always lose the—the freakin' thing. did you check under the couch?"

"that's the first place i looked."

and you stand up to prove you're not sitting on it and he shakes out the throw blanket you were using and sticks his hand between the couch cushions and he finds a bunch of coins, a sock, that pair of underwear he took off of you the last time he had a night off—and the f—reakin' tv remote.

and you rest your forehead on his chest and you're pouting and you mumble out a, "thanks," even though you probably don't want to. you probably do a lot of things you don't want to do, with him. because of him. things you probably don't want to do anymore because you're fed up. and this is it. this is it.

"i love you, jerk."

when you wrap your arms limply around him, he doesn't say anything. because he can't. he can't shut up when he wants to, and he can't speak up when he wants to, and it's something you're probably tired of, maybe, he's not actually sure, but you let him bury his face into your hair and you pretend you don't notice that he's trembling just a little and that you can feel his racing heartbeat through his back.

bakugou doesn't say anything, because he can't, so you just lean into him a little more and you say,

"still love you."

and you pretend not to hear the deep inhale that he takes or the little groan he lets out, and you pretend not to feel the clench of his jaw or the barely-there wobble of his chin. and you say,

"still gonna choose to love you."

because you don't love him by accident. even with his irritation and his push-back, his smart-ass quips and his angry language. you see it all and you see him and you still say,

"always gonna love you."

and that's how bakugou knows where his home is. what it is. that's how he knows it's you, of all people.

My #1 post of 2022

i keep going back to this thought of like adult, pro-hero, brick-wall-of-a-man bakugou still being just so insecure. like he works hard for his body and he's not stupid, he knows that it's strong and is what it needs to be for his line of work, for being a pro, for protecting those that he loves—but he's always had an issue with...people.

yeah, as an older man, that's fallen away some and he's learned to let go of all the little battles he wants to start, how to ignore challenges that aren't there, but he's still bakugou, and people have this perception of him and his personality and attitude and he knows it's not unfounded, but...what good is there to say about him, really? that he's got a fit body? big fucking whoop.

a hot body isn't what's gonna keep you around.

and it's frustrating, because you smile at him and laugh at the shitty things he says and you forgive him, even when he can't apologize, and you understand the space he just needs sometimes. there are days when he wants to sleep alone because he'd done it all of his life, until you came around, and there are days he doesn't want to speak—to you or anybody—because every little thing is grating on his nerves, there are days when he wants to get out of the house and fuck off to hike, somewhere far without cell service, and only come back once he's sweaty and tired and in need of a shower.

and that's—he's not stupid. who wants to put up with that? him, and all that he entails? all you have to just accept, because he doesn't know how to change it.

it's not as if he doesn't want to spend time with you; some days that's all he wants. your attention, your touch, your little affections, your approval. a reminder that you do still love him, even after everything, and yeah, you say it every night and every morning and before you hang up the phone, but—what about all the times in between? even when he wants to be alone, he still thinks about you, too much maybe, for how much space he's willingly created for himself.

the face you make when you eat something too soon from the oven or when you pretend not to cry at some stupid movie. the shirt you wore last thursday and how well the color looked against your skin. how warm you are first thing in the morning, when he rolls over to make sure you're still there. what you smell like right out of the shower—do you smell like him, on the days you wear his shirts out of the house? does it make you think about him, too, all day? do you even like the way he smells or the way he dresses? how he cuts his hair or the shoes he wears on casual days, when he doesn't have to go work and he's not having dinner with his witch of a mother?

you're...attracted to him. right? gotta be, because if you aren't then all you have is his personality and that—there's just no fucking way. you've gotta be, because you kiss him and touch him and bother him in the shower and sometimes he looks at you across the table and you're giving him this look that drives him fucking crazy and—he's just bad at asking for things, for anything. 'specially for you.

sometimes you make him feel like a virgin fucking schoolboy, that doesn't know how to touch or be touched and so he does petty shit, little things that are supposed to drive you crazy, too. not like he really knows for sure, because the minute you look too long when he's shirtless, he wants to launch his own embarrassing ass off a cliff. he'll never admit to it, but yeah, he eats strawberries that way on purpose, messy while watching you, and he stands at the edge of your bed in a low-slung towel until he's nearly dry, just furthering some mindless conversation so that you'll stay awake and looking at him. when he's at the gym, he'll send a snapchat he took way too long posing for, just to respond with a "yeah", or he'll pretend he doesn't know why it's a big deal that he decided to forgo boxer briefs under his sweatpants.

bakugou wants to be wanted, but he doesn't know how to make himself worth wanting, and doesn't know how to ask either—but he's learning; placing his face between your shoulderblades when he wants you to turn to him in bed, resting his forehead on your knee when he's sorry and can't say why, drawing a heart on a sticky note, quick and shitty, before he has time to get embarrassed, nipping at the skin under your earlobe when he wants you, the blush on his cheeks probably searing into the skin of your neck.

insecure but trying, trusting. isn't that what love is anyway?

#tumblr2022 #year in review #my 2022 tumblr year in review #your tumblr year in review #did i really refrog from myself that much ?? LOL

[alucarddear]

what's your writing process? how long does it usually take to come up with an idea? what about actually sitting down to write it? love your writing❣

This will get long… apologies in advance. Thank you for taking an interest in my writing! I want to be clear about it and answer any possible question. We do it once and right, since I’ve been asked this twice now but haven’t answered. Haha. Bear with me.

I like having ideas to select from because not every request is interesting for me to write. I pick and choose depending on what jumps out and gives me vision, so the waiting time varies for you too. Don't expect your request fulfilled depending on when you sent it. I don’t do this in order.

As for the process:

I check the ideas you hand me as soon as I can so I can ruminate and toy with them while I cook or do banal things. Later, I pick which ones I’m interested in exploring, and I draft them here on tumblr. Sometimes - and I much prefer this - a request will give me an immediate overall vision. It pretty much gets shortlisted and goes to my drafts right away.

These drafted prompts then become the current subjects for me to then spend time thinking of wherever I’m free so that I may spend less time actually writing them. Makes sense? Basically, I spend more time thinking than writing. They’ll just pour out of my fingers as soon as the overall gist is complete in my head. This is key. It’s a waste of time to sit there and write with no prior thoughts and try to type… nothing.

I don’t use any other app to write these things. I do it all here on tumblr using my iPhone. Sometimes, it’s just an idea for a title (somehow that matters a lot to me idk why), sometimes it’s a single passage, a single line. Whatever it is, no matter how little, I write it and save it as a draft. That one title or line becomes a basis, a theme, upon which to expound on later. For example—with “Sol,” the requester wanted s/o to ask to be turned. The first idea came to me as s/o having something to lose just to be with Adrian. So, they became to me the personification of the sun—cause vampires can’t go into the sun. With that, naturally, the title became obvious: “Sol” or Sun. Then from there it was easy to make references to darkness, of vampirism being the opposite of the s/o being a being of light, and that in the end they are willing to lose it for love.

You’ll notice that my stories are posted at around roughly the same window/hour of the day. That’s because that’s the time I usually idle around in bed so I get the chance to check my drafts and edit/proof-read an already completed story/HC, find a gif, then post. So I’m a couple stories ahead of publishing.

For a short one-shot of a request that’s specific and clear, it’s easier and faster for me to finish, hence why I ask that you be as specific as possible so I get to your request faster. Why? You did the thinking. I’m just doing the doing :p (and adding/changing things).

I usually word-vomit the entire request in one sitting. Say, 30 mins to 1 hour max for a longer story. Just a couple minutes for headcanons.

If I actually took longer to write before posting, I might actually be able to give you better writing… but I’m sorry, we live in the fast lane over here :p cause the brainrot might go away. Gotta keep it moving to let it fester. Hah.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions!

Seller Information on Etsy’s Canadian Tax Plans

As some of you now know, Etsy will be forcing Canadian sellers registered to collect GST and HST to roll that tax into their prices as of July 1 2022, instead of calculating it accurately and automatically at checkout. My main post on that is on my website blog: https://www.cindylouwho2.com/blog/2022/6/23/etsy-botches-implementation-of-new-canadian-tax-laws

This post is designed to help sellers strategize their approach to this ridiculous change. 

UPDATE: (August 30, 2022) Etsy has begun charging some sellers GST and HST on the their seller fees, and is doing it retroactive to July 1. I will update this post when I know more; I haven’t even been charged yet. (September 11, 2022): here is my post on GST on fees; not everything is clear yet. 

UPDATE (July 17 2022): For Non-Canadian Sellers and Canadian Buyers

If a customer in Saskatchewan or Manitoba orders a physical item from a non-Canadian seller, Etsy is supposed to charge them provincial sales taxes on their order. 

However, Etsy is also charging provincial taxes on sales to British Columbia from outside of Canada, and the BC government confirms that is not allowed. Buyers are supposed to request a refund from Etsy, but as you can see from that link, Etsy isn't moving quickly on this. [UPDATE (August 7): It appears Etsy has fixed this on at least some BC orders from outside the country, but there are still lots of bugs, so keep an eye open for it.]

For those of you who have been overcharged and have applied to Etsy for a refund, please let me know how long it takes.

Things GST-Registered Sellers Should Know

It’s legal to include GST and HST in the item price; see here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/charge-collect-receipts-invoices.html “...you have to either show the amount paid or payable for the supply separately from the amount of GST/HST payable on the supply or show that the total amount paid or payable for a supply includes the GST/HST.“ As you know, that isn’t very common with products that are purchased online, though; it’s usually seen when buying a drink in the stands at a hockey game. One location makes it easy; different tax rates make it impossible to do accurately.

CRA reps have told people they can’t remove their tax registration numbers on Etsy: https://community.etsy.com/t5/All-Things-Finance/Changes-to-Canadian-GST-collection-remittance/m-p/138775766/highlight/true#M274389 so I strongly recommend talking to an agent or your accountant if you are considering this action. Here’s info on contacting the CRA on this topic: https://community.etsy.com/t5/All-Things-Finance/Changes-to-Canadian-GST-collection-remittance/m-p/138696588/highlight/true#M273726

You don’t have to register for GST/HST unless you are legally required to, or think it might be beneficial to you. Etsy is pushing sellers to register because it saves Etsy some work and makes them more in fees, but no one is required to register until they meet the requirements laid out here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/when-register-charge.html Please consult with an accountant, the Canada Revenue Agency, or another expert in this area if you aren’t sure what you should do, but don’t take advice from Etsy on this question. 

It is against Etsy rules to tell anyone who contacts you on Etsy to buy the items elsewhere; that includes cancelling the order and sending them an email to your website etc. https://www.etsy.com/legal/fees/#avoidance

Options for GST-Registered Sellers

There aren’t a lot of great ones, since we can’t opt not to ship to Canada. We can:

Comply with Etsy’s suggestions to add the tax to our prices. You can edit each listing individually to change the price in Canada only: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403156582039-How-to-Add-Domestic-Global-Pricing-to-Your-Listings?segment=selling or use other tools to raise your prices everywhere.  Note that digital items can’t use the domestic pricing tool, as it was originally designed to accommodate free shipping. [UPDATE (July 10): The tool is also not available for listing with more than 400 variations.]  Remember that GST & HST apply to the shipping cost as well. If you are going to increase your listing prices by the largest amount (15%) and then refund buyers in GST-only provinces, remember that Etsy is collecting fees on the total item price, so you would have to raise all of your prices around 16.5% to come out even.  If you opt to add tax into your prices, here is how to calculate what you must remit to the government: https://legalbeagle.com/7648943-reverse-calculate-gst.html  You will also be required to provide a receipt with the tax broken down if your customers request one. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/charge-collect-receipts-invoices.html

Close our Etsy shops. 

Raise our Canadian shipping fees so high that no Canadian will buy from us. This is what I am planning on doing for the moment. I will mention in my policies that I am unable to fulfill orders to Canada on Etsy at this time. I will then email my Canadian newsletter subscribers and let them know that my website is their only option right now, and that prices are cheaper than my Etsy shop anyway. [UPDATE (July 10): While Etsy’s legal policies state sellers must “Charge an appropriate amount for shipping”, Etsy is itself breaking the law in multiple ways while applying the new tax changes (see below). I argue it is completely appropriate to want to make sure our customers are not overcharged tax and otherwise inconvenienced by Etsy’s illegal activities, and since Etsy doesn’t provide us any other way to stop selling to Canada, we are forced to raise shipping prices to honour Canadian law.] 

If you buy business supplies from Canadian Etsy sellers, try to find their other sites (which will likely give you a proper tax receipt). 

[UPDATE: (July 17) One enterprising seller has submitted an Agent and Principal form to Etsy: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/gst506.html which if completed, allows Etsy to charge and remit GST/HST on the seller’s behalf. This is the same method eBay and Poshmark are using to comply with the new laws. While Etsy will probably reject the request, it is worth trying. Let me know if this works for you! (August 7): It didn’t work out for me]

And of course, complain to Etsy about this, and spread the word everywhere! 

UPDATE: (June 29, 2022) Tracey from MyCorabella has written a great letter to her MP, and has agreed to share it for copying/editing, if you are planning on sending your own and need a good template. Here it is:

Dear [name of MP]

For years, Canadian GST registered small businesses selling via the Etsy platform have been using a tax calculation tool provided on Etsy to charge the appropriate GST/HST by province/territory, and directly remitting taxes to CRA. In response to Canada’s changes to GST/HST legislation regarding collection from online transactions, as of July 1 Etsy is removing the tax tool and forcing Canadian GST registered sellers to instead include taxes in their pricing. This disadvantages Canadian small businesses, it creates confusion for customers as to what taxes they are paying, and Etsy will financially benefit by being able to charge Canadian small businesses additional fees.

The biggest issues are well outlined in the following blog post: https://www.cindylouwho2.com/blog/2022/6/23/etsy-botches-implementation-of-new-canadian-tax-laws

…and in this active discussion among Canadian sellers in the following Etsy forum:

https://community.etsy.com/t5/All-Things-Finance/Canadian-Sellers-who-are-Registered-to-Collect-GST-HST-will-be/td-p/138747667

The massive confusion Etsy is creating will no doubt lead to many Canadian small business owners inadvertently making errors in sales tax collection/remittance. It will also cost us time & resources in added paperwork and fees as we shoulder the burden of Etsy’s laziness in their poorly executed implementation of this new tax law. However, Etsy will clearly benefit financially by shoving workload down the food chain and collecting extra fees.

This is a far cry from the intention stated in the budget “Applying the tax to the consumption of most goods and services helps ensure that the GST/HST system is fair, efficient and simple”, and does not align with the intention ”To improve the collection of the GST/HST and level the playing field between resident and non-resident vendors.”

The demographic of Canadian sellers on Etsy includes a significant cohort of disadvantaged and lower income people, most of which make less than the poverty line. They should not have to shoulder this added burden while paying more fees to Etsy for less services.

Other e-commerce platforms (eBay, Amazon, Airbnb, Poshmark) have each figured out viable solutions. Etsy is treating the implementation of the new tax law as an opportunity to increase their sales (since they are asking us to include taxes in our prices), charge more fees, and push the true cost of implementation squarely on Canadian small businesses.

Ultimately, this issue will cost all Canadians as CRA and small businesses become buried in the minutia of tiny amounts of potentially overcharged or undercharged sales tax. The solution is clearly to force the large companies operating these platforms to follow the intention of the law which was to simplify and create equity for Canadians for businesses. However, by removing an existing simple tax tool that has existed for years yet failing to create an alternative, and by forcing Canadian small businesses to absorb sales tax into their prices at the cost of added workload, Etsy has done the opposite.

I thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

...

UPDATE: (July 2 & 10, 2022) There have been numerous issues since this rolled out on June 30th (yes, Etsy stopped charging taxes with the tool as early as the afternoon before they said they would). I have posted examples on Twitter and in my updated blog post. 

Check your Canadian orders for the following:

Tax not charged on June 30th.

PST charged on top of the GST included in item prices; this is ongoing and the BC government has confirmed it is illegal. BC says buyers should apply to Etsy for refunds on the overcharges, but Etsy Support has not been very competent in figuring this out so far. 

GST and PST charged to the customer despite the seller being GST-registered - then Etsy adds the collected tax to the shop’s payment account! Most examples seem to be sales to BC, and happened July 1.

PST charged at too low a rate (5% instead of the higher provincial percentages).

HST charged on registered seller orders, but not charged on unregistered seller orders.

BC PST charged on orders shipped from outside of Canada - this should only be happening with Manitoba and Saskatchewan buyers. 

Also, Etsy said they would be charging Canadian tax on our seller fees, but hasn’t so far. There reason will likely surprise no one - they just haven’t gotten around to programming that yet. See my tweet on the topic with a screenshot: https://twitter.com/CindyLouWho_2/status/1548808767130816514?s=20&t=lv8nS63SBAtHa8UeXlnZYQ

Moon's Big and the Let's Play as a Roleplay Medium (sorry in advance for this way-too-long post)

okay hermitcraft s8 is still on my brain so can I just say. there's just something that's so interesting about the let's play format as a roleplay medium. and the hermits really got it down to a science and deconstructed it in s8 to make one of the most entertaining mc series I've ever watched.

so here are some of said thoughts compiled in a list of no particular order, because my brain can not formulate a sensible meta yet.

1. the minecraft let's play has basically been around as long as minecraft has been. we know how they work. the youtuber starts out with the same greeting they always use, they lay out some goals, they work on said goals, and then they sign off, all in about twenty or so minutes (give or take). if the cc is on a server, there might be some shenanigans and banter, including whole episodes dedicated to some funny roleplay plot, because playing minecraft with friends is fun and leads to great content; but usually they will still have individual projects which they work on.

2. we knew s8 was breaking the mold when they started and a lot of groups of hermits revealed that they were basing together instead of making individual megabases. throughout the season we've been talking about how hc s8 has been more collaborative than any season that's come before it, that it's incorporating more lore at one time than ever. the cc's have also talked about how they've been breaking out of their comfort zones a bunch.

3. however, the hermits never changed their format through all of this. they still made lets plays—more highly polished and edited lets plays than the lets plays of before, maybe, but that quality increase has been happening for a while now. the let's play format provides an anchor, a throughline from past seasons. it keeps the season grounded in familiar territory, even when weird supernatural stuff started happening.

4. the let's play is a style of content that was never built with a 4th wall in mind. I mean, the cc is basically talking directly to the viewer most of the time. this means that suspending disbelief is way more difficult for the viewers of a let's play than the viewers of a play, movie, or even standard rp. there are already video essays out there talking about how the youtube video as a format is predicated on the youtuber building parasocial relationships by directly talking to an audience. long story short, you aren't supposed to suspend your disbelief when you watch a let's play. the authenticity of the person playing the video game is ingrained in the format itself, to the point where it's expected.

5. of course, this has never stopped let's play series from having lore; but it's usually played more for comedy than in a standard roleplay because, again, the viewer expects they're watching a real live person playing a video game, not a character's journey in said video game. lighthearted lore can give more imaginative viewers something to latch onto while reassuring them that the cc's behind it are still themselves (or the selves they project on screen for the internet). in the viewer-youtuber conversation, lighthearted lore is like an inside joke for fans of a let's play.

(by the way, I'm talking mostly about vanilla survival let's plays right now. I know there was some serious roleplay under the let's play format back in the day, but most of them were with more modded gameplay. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'm talking very generally.)

6. so having done all that rambling about the let's play as a content format, let's return to hermitcraft s8. things start out pretty much as expected. hermits basing next to each other means that the number of shenanigans have been turned up to eleven, but they're still relatively lighthearted, all things considered. other than some plots that are played completely straight from the start (like the hermatrix), we're looking forward to a season that, besides an increase in jokes and collabs and a decrease in the number of megabase projects, seems about right for the hermits.

7. the season continues and the shenanigans just keep escalating. I'll use boatem as an example because it provides an easy one, although I know all the other hermits can also provide excellent examples. things that start out as one-liners ("potato boy") become plot relevant (shapeshifter mumbo). storylines start small ("boatem inc") and then get weirder and weirder (I will never get over the boatem company cars and mumbo's replacement). it's a slow evolution, but there's definitely an evolution. watch an early hc s8 episode and then a later one right next to each other, and you'll see what I mean.

9. and I think that one of the things that obscures the tone shift is the let's play format. even when the moon got big and blocks started floating and earthquakes started happening, the let's play format still tricked my brain into thinking things were normal. (because it's a let's play, right? cc!Scar just built a Star Wars inspired wagon for his sand and gravel shop in Super-Fast-Build-Mode, like in any other Scar let's play! Yeah the blocks are moving and the ground is shaking, but there's always some weird background lore happening these days. Just the Hermitcraft server doing a little cosmic horror like it does every season, right? :D)

(hey, maybe that was just me. but judging from the amount of posts that didn't believe Moon Big would actually end the server, I don't think I'm alone.)

10. well, things didn't just go back to normal. the moon kept getting bigger, the earthquakes more violent. the blocks stop coming down. every weird and wacky solution the hermits employ fails, and instead of it just being a funny "lol funny shenanigans am i right" the tension on the server builds. but the hermits have been taking all the bits pretty far this season. what's to say this isn't one of them— oh no.

I'm going to highlight grian and bdubs' final s8 episodes as videos that employ the let's play format to the fullest as roleplays.

11. grian spends his last episode frantically trying to put the finishing touches on his base. he does timelapses. he talks to the viewers about how happy he is with the base's completion (without ever cutting to the back lmao). trying to finish procrastinated areas of a base last-minute before the hc season ends is a very grian thing to do. and if you cobble nothing but the building segments together, you can almost trick yourself into thinking that it's just another hermitcraft let's play episode. I mean, it follows the established format pretty well: grian greets the viewers, lays out his goal to finish his shop interiors, shows himself working on said interiors, then steps back to show the viewers what he's completed. plus there funny shenanigans on top, as a sweet bonus!

but well. there's the huge moon in the background of it all, providing a sense of urgency to grian's project and disrupting him whenever he tries to go about it normally. there are already a ton of better posts talking about how tragic grian's final hc s8 episode is, but basically what I'm saying is that it wouldn't work so well if it wasn't a let's play. it weaponizes the familiarity of the let's play format to blur the lines between cc and character. the impending physical threat of the moon in the background make it so that things that would normally get read as cc!grian going about doing his normal let's play things are instead read as the final, desperate actions of his character trapped in a dying world.

like, take the cut where he walks around midnight alley and talks about how proud he is of his hc s8 base. that's a normal let's play thing to do for grian. but with the huge moon in the background, it also feels like a hopeless man reminiscing on his progress right before he has to leave it. it reads both ways. it's a let's play convention turned emotional, with nothing about it fundamentally changing.

12. bdubs makes a very different last episode from grian, but he still uses the let's play format to the fullest. first of all, it kind of falls into the category of "world tour" let's play episodes, which are also an established staple of the genre. of course, it's no ordinary world tour—there's a giant moon in the background of it all, and bdubs is acting disconcertedly cheerful in the face of the impending crash.

but that's the thing—let's plays are cheerful! again, it's kind of supposed to feel like they're just talking to you directly (something something everyone projects a certain version of themselves on social media, idk, I'm not a professional psychologist please don't sue me if I get things wrong).

and yet, it feels wrong here. everyone else is panicking about the moon crash, and here's bdubs checking his profits, talking happily to his pets and the viewers, even making a sponsorship cut. through the hints he drops in his episode, it feels like character bdubs is putting the let's play as a facade for the viewers (I mean, see his message to Tango—he is clearly aware of what's going on). It transforms the let's play in itself into a roleplay from within the hermitcraft planet, played by a doomed man trying to stay cheerful as his world ends. whereas grian's use of let's play convention blurs the line between cc and character, bdubs' use of let's play convention makes the character the cc.

13. yeah, it's meta. and you can argue that the hermits have always been doing this—I mean, there's been distinction between the hermits as characters and the hermits as cc's for a while now—but imo hc s8 (as well as 3rd/last life, empires, etc.) has solidified the minecraft let's play as a roleplay medium from a nebulous possibility into a modern mcyt staple. if there was early mcyt that was doing this, i'm sorry for missing this, but as someone who has watched back into older hc seasons and has also watched mcyt since 2013, this is what I've observed.

14. anyways, it's cool as fuck. also moon big.
