warnings — sugar daddy!hongjoong, readers in her 20s, hongjoong’s in his 40s, pet names, oral (m. receiving), f.ingering, cowgirl,choking, fluff at the end.
Tumblr media
sugar daddy!hongjoong who takes you to buy a new dress any time he takes you out for dinner or when you have to attend events with him. you have at least 40 different dresses you could choose from at this point but it doesn’t matter to hongjoong.
when he can’t accompany you to shop for a dress because he has business to attend to, he simply gives you his card and tells you to pick the prettiest one and treat yourself to whatever else you want to that day.
but more often than not, he flies you out to italy to have your dresses custom made. sometimes he’ll send a sketch ahead of you of what he wants to see you in and let you talk with the designer about changing any details that you don’t like.
he wants you to have the best of the best, something other people can’t get their hands on.
sugar daddy!hongjoong who has no shame about renting out the entire floor of a restaurant for just the two of you. when you ask him his reason, he says that he just “prefers it this way.”
sugar daddy!hongjoong that lets you pick out your own penthouse.
he brings you along with him while he goes around looking at different places, citing the reason being that he’s “expanding his real estate portfolio”.
he’s constantly asking you what you think of each place, whether you could see yourself living there, how you would decorate the place, etc. you think it’s silly when he writes a check to buy the one that you liked the most but you don’t pay it too much mind.
that is until later that day when he hands you the keys.
“it’s all yours baby. i’ve already got movers packing up your old place, they should be here in an hour or two. is that alright with you?”
sugar daddy!hongjoong who loves surprising you with random shopping sprees. he likes surprising you with gifts and all, but he’d rather have you pick exactly what you like.
he could sit watch you try on outfits all day if it means he gets to see the way your eyes sparkle.
sugar daddy!hongjoong that was a bit of tsundere especially when you first met.
he has trouble expressing his love and admiration for you but he actively works to try to get better.
sugar daddy!hongjoong that enjoys sharing his hobbies with you, one of them being customizing clothes and shoes, giving them a personal touch.
you tend to make a mess whenever you work with the art supplies, accidentally getting paint and marker stains all over yourself. you find it bothersome but hongjoong finds it cute. to him, your clumsiness just adds to your charming qualities.
sugar daddy!hongjoong who gets excited whenever you let him choose your next hairstyle. if you’re hesitant about trying a certain style or color, he encourages you to do so, as long as you’re comfortable with it. he’s always complimenting you and praising you.
despite his love of picking your hairstyles, he loves when you decide to just wear your beautiful natural hair as well.
the same thing goes for your nails too. oh, and he always makes sure you get your toes done too so don’t even try to argue with him. if you’re out of the country and need a new set or a fill in, he’ll fly out your chosen nail tech.
sugar daddy!hongjoong that’s like putty in your hands whenever you flutter those pretty lashes of yours at him.
sugar daddy!hongjoong that not only likes to have custom dresses made for you but also have custom lingerie pieces made for you as well.
one of his favorites is an emerald green set with a garter belt and matching lacy stockings that have his initials ‘KHJ’ on the center gore of the bra.
sugar daddy!hongjoong wouldn’t call himself an exhibitionist but he will touch and tease you (discretely) in public settings or where others are present.
like while his chauffeur is driving you home, he’ll let his hand rest on your thigh, letting it slip under your dress and inch closer to your core until his fingers are hovering right in front of your soaked panties.
“don’t make a sound and i’ll fuck you to sleep when we get home.” he whispers in your ear as his fingers move your underwear to the side, finally making contact with your clit.
sugar daddy!hongjoong who possessiveness makes itself known in the bedroom. he wants to hear you tell him that you’re his and that he’s the only one who can make you feel good.
tell him what he wants to hear or he will slow down and eventually stop what he’s doing all together until he gets what he wants. no amount of squirming around on the bed or whining will help you.
“didn’t i ask you a question? tell me whose pussy this is.. or would you rather be left high and dry? your choice baby.”
sugar daddy!hongjoong who thinks you look so pretty when your mouth is full of his dick. he likes to hold your head in place while he fucks your pretty mouth.
“such a good girl for me. gonna stay like that and let me cum down your throat?”
sugar daddy!hongjoong who wraps his hand around your neck while you’re bouncing on his cock and it makes you see stars.
he likes the feeling of your walls clenching around him while you try to focus on riding him, the lack of oxygen slowly getting to you.
sugar daddy!hongjoong that likes it rough but makes sure he takes his time with you often, giving you good old fashioned love-making to remind you of how much he loves and cares for you.
sugar daddy!hongjoong that can be having a terrible day but once he sets eyes on you, his worries and frustration fade away.
sugar daddy!hongjoong who falls in love with you more and more every time he looks into your big, gorgeous eyes.
it’s been more than just a business relationship to him and he’s been feeling that way for a long time now.
he hopes to one day he’ll be lucky enough to be able to call you his wife.

Alastor - Historical Trivia And Headcanons
Tumblr media
Alastor was a mixed-race Creole man living in New Orleans, and was in his 30's/40's when he died in 1933. We don't know much else about him, but historical context can provide us with possible additional details:
The population of New Orleans in 1930 was 458,762, more than it is now. 27.2% of the people were black, 3.1% were foreign-born, and roughly half of America's bipoc population was unemployed thanks to the Great Depression. New Orleans' original Francophonication was still strong, and it was common to run into locals who only spoke French dialects (Cajun French, Louisiana Creole). The city has had a huge Chinatown, a small Little Italy, and multiple other districts known for their immigrant African/colonized French cultures.
Tumblr media
The Jim Crow laws were heavily enforced, as was the 'One Drop' rule. If Alastor was a mixed race black man, he would not have been able to attend a white school, use the same public transport, and would have shopped at black-local stores and restaurants under threat of violence. If he was mixed with any other race, some Jim Crow laws didn't apply, but state or city laws might specify differently.
Just because Alastor wears a suit, it doesn't mean he was rich in life. Radio personalities often didn't earn a fortune. Unless he owned his own broadcast, he was paid by a private company for long shifts of hosting music, news, and radio plays. In 1930, 40% of households owned at least one radio, which means that a popular radio host would have been easily recognized.
If he was in his late 30's in 1933, he might have fought in WW1, so long as he was over the age of 21. Some cities gave veterans small benefits, or encouraged the community to give them jobs. This often did not include veterans of color.
New Orleans was famous for being one of the least Christian cities in America, thanks to its unique immigrant and slave population. Haitian-based faiths and practices (such as voudo), indigenous cultures, Asian Buddhism, and atheism were common. But Christianity was still the official, law-enforced religion. Schooling involved reading the Bible, laws were sworn to Jesus, etc.
Tumblr media
Alastor's outfit in Hazbin Hotel isn't very accurate to real-life American men's fashions of the time. Back then, deviating from the norm with the smallest detail would have stuck out like a sore thumb - like his white-lined lapels. Men always wore a hat. They were allowed to go without a waistcoat, but not a jacket. Belts were becoming more popular than suspenders. The silhouette was bulkier than the slimmer, Italian cuts of our modern times, especially the pants. Hair was kept short, and oiled down in a side part. Americans preferred the clean shaven look. Ties were essential unless you were a blue-collar laborer. Colors were almost universally muted neutral tones for everyday wear. The most colorful textiles for men were sporting outfits, like a tennis jacket.
If Alastor was a middle-class single man, he likely would have lived in an inner-city apartment, in an ethnic neighborhood. He probably didn't own a car, and took public transit like the streetcars. If he owned a house, it would likely have been an inheritance, and even the more opulent houses of the time would have looked small and plain to our eyes.
Because of the Great Depression, unmarried men were becoming the norm, rather than the exception. Men of the community who were sought after but remained single were suspect to gossip, but less ire than you might think; in the '30s, American queer culture was going through a very sharp revival, escaping the rigid Victorian era and before the puritan 40's/50's. But as a mixed-race man, it may have been illegal for a white woman to marry him, as the Jim Crow laws forbade the marriage of white people and Black/Asian people.
A middle class city household would have had electricity, gas heating, indoor plumbing, but may not have had running taps or a gas stove. Even with decent means, Alastor might have been using a potbelly woodburning stove, a dry sink/washbasin, wooden bathtub, and did his own laundry instead of sending it to the neighborhood laundresses. He may or may not have bothered with an icebox. Fresh groceries needed to be cooked and eaten soon, as things like pasteurized milk or store refrigeration wasn't a thing.
If he had enough money, then he almost certainly hired maids or other servants. Whether the maid came over just once a week, or did the shopping and laundry every other day, hired help was much more common back then, especially if he had no wife.
The most popular musicians in 1933 were Bing Crosby, George Olsen, and Leo Reisman. As you might have noticed, it was trendy for the lead singer to be backed by an orchestra, not a 'band' of just four other people like today. The most popular radio shows were Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, and Doc Savage. They were recordings the radio station would buy and then broadcast, or sometimes the actors were live on the air. The radio host was usually not the journalist - the production team was responsible for writing his script.

Jokes aside, people don’t actually appreciate the fact how difficult it is for an artist like Louis who had no radioplay or festival support to be able to manage and put on a successful first tour. It required a lot of grit and determination. It’s not easy, three of his other bandmates have much better sales and streaming numbers than him but they aren’t touring right now. Niall had the best openers one can imagine for his first tour. He had radioplay and industry support. He still didn’t reschedule his second tour after covid. He is doing everything possible now, going on the voice, playing European festivals etc. to ensure that he sells out. You can bet his tour shows won’t be as cheap as Louis. So many artists have cancelled their tours because it is challenging. Harry was always set up for success, didn’t he have all the celebrities turn up to his shows right from the beginning to show how cool it was to be at a Harry show. Weren’t all the media and influencers there to make it the most talked about thing right from the get go? He didn’t have to put it all together like Louis had to, you can bet any money on the fact that he wasn’t going on every detail like how far the audience would be from the stage and what the production would look like? He wasn’t reworking his songs with his musical director to just have the right kind energy for the live shows. He was instead working out in the gym and doing fittings for his customised wardrobe stolen from Juan Gabriel. Everything else was done for him, a multi Grammy winner was his opener, I have never understood why would Kacey Musgraves open for Harry Styles on his first album. To me that is misogynistic within itself but everyone does what the Azoffs want I guess. Anyway I am getting side tracked, what I am trying to say is that although Louis makes it look like it’s all fun and games, all he is doing is drinking, smoking and partying, there is a lot of work that goes into it. The attention to detail at his shows cannot be matched even by big huge production values the big artists have. His crew is so well looked after. A person who doesn’t care is not going to put in all that effort to bring in that kind of quality.
When I read stupid opinions which are passed around by the Larries like gospel without using any sort of critical thinking it makes my blood boil. Louis has put a lot of effort into putting on a successful tour despite all odds, I wish people wouldn’t minimise his achievements just because they see him having a good time and not sulking in a darkened corner.
Louis wrote an entire album with the focus on the tour shows. His co-writers understood that the production would have to reflect a live show.
You can also see the attention to production design in the live shows— the pyro, the special effects, the way that lighting syncs up with the music.
The 20 x 8 light grids in the LTWT backdrop. DN4. The way Fearless has its own video graphics. The black and white graphics for Only The Brave to contrast the rainbow flags and lights in the audience (🏳️‍🌈 which Oli knew about).
The way Louis listened to soundchecks from various parts of the venues to gauge how they sounded.
The way Louis gives opportunities to smaller / unsigned artists to open for him.
The meticulous post-show playlist. Louis’ outfits acknowledging the colors of regional football teams and sometimes the rivalries (Amsterdam, Latam, Italy).
The low ticket prices, meeting the audiences where they live, instead of the audiences having to trek to NYC. Never using dynamic pricing, even though it’s an option. Offering audiences full refunds on the pre-Covid concert tickets we had bought, and then carrying through with the scheduled tour.
Taking precautions during Omicron to switch out band members so they could quarantine and stay safe. Never having to cancel a show as a result.
Spending money on crew comforts during the tour— not only providing housing, travel, and meals, but a floating cocktail bar, parties, outings, business class tickets, five-star hotels, celebrations of milestones (Matt D’s stag party), time off to pursue their own music (Isaac’s gigs), spending money for group tattoos.
And then on top of all of this thoughtfulness and consideration, to finish recording and mastering a 20-track album, plan promo, shoot for promo articles and gigs, plan and play a festival in another country.
All this for a man who supposedly wants to stay home and “watch his husband become a mega star.” Stupidity doesn’t even begin to describe this attitude.

Though the "evidence" is in the family tree, nothing is confirmed yet. Luca & her parents moved to America when she was 13 to live closer to their living relatives, which she didn't take too kindly to but adapted in time. At some point during his precollege years, he joined in on the "hood wars" as an independent makeshift arms supplier, balancing his studies with maintaining good relations with clients. Born out of one of those relations was their thing with a woman of a higher rank, who abused them to make sure they achieved their quota. Luca decided enough was enough, & in a fit of fury she killed the woman. Fae thought fae was safe, until faer ass was dragged to a place called The Oasis, where fae met Gabriel & 6 other fellow fugitives. The gang escaped The Oasis, evaded the authorities until they were forced to drop all charges, & now lead somewhat normal lives.
PRESENT LIFE — Working as a color technologist for a clothing company + living with Gabriel!

【ME & 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗜'𝗗 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥】
Tumblr media
- ALIAS / NAME: Rae
- BIRTHDAY: August 22
- ZODIAC SIGN: Leo/Virgo cusp and I absolutely live up to it. I have never felt like I'm solely a Leo or solely a Virgo. I'm a combination of both.
- HEIGHT: 5'8"
- HOBBIES: Writing, reading, watching a lot of TV and movies (sometimes for work, sometimes not), cosplay and fan conventions, fashion (especially luxury accessories and classic cuts and patterns. Though much of my style inspo comes from France and Italy! I love a timeless look with a nod to retro fashions, especially from the 50s-70s), visiting cafes, and dreaming of travel.
- FAVORITE COLOR: Sapphire blue! Both my engagement and wedding rings have sapphires for this reason.
- FAVORITE BOOK: This is an absolutely rude and cruel question how dare you expect me to choose-
- LAST SONG: This Is Taylor Swift playlist on Spotify, but mostly going through Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights tracks for RP reply inspo.
- LAST FILM / SHOW: I'm currently watching Only Murders in the Building with my husband and we're loving it! A few of my family members grew up and/or lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan so seeing all of the familiar architecture is entertaining. As well as the murders, the character personalities, etc. I still don't believe Steve Martin and Martin Short's characters are heterosexual in this show and it should be 'Selena Gomez and her two gay adoptive uncles' but I digress.
- RECENT READS: I finished House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas at the very beginning of February and I've had a book hangover since then! Not that I was 100% satisfied with the ending of Crescent City but it's been hard to get into something new. I've started book 1 in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, but I haven't managed to finish it or its sequel yet. After that, I'll probably go back to finishing the Letters of Enchantment duology by Rebecca Ross, The Cruel Prince series by Holly Black, or the Hades and Persephone saga by Scarlett St. Clair. I'm tempted to finally dive into some Leigh Bardugo works, some V.E. Schwab, or start Katee Robert's Neon Gods series.
I have 166 books on my Kindle and I've finished maybe 50 of those so far, if it's any indication on how long my TBR list is. And I haven't even mentioned my historical, contemporary, and/or gothic romance picks on that list...
I really love books, y'all.
- STORY BEHIND URL: It's how Sonia wants to be seen by everyone she meets.
- FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I got married in November 2022 but I'm finally taking my honeymoon next month in April 2024. My job takes most of the blame for this, but I'm very close to securing a promotion soon (which means I'll be able to assign some of my work to others!).
That said, a lot of April will be a long hiatus from this blog. I'll be coming back to write when I've returned, but leading up to the trip, two weeks on the trip, and coming back and catching up with everything means much of April will be queued aesthetic posts around here.
That said, I'm so ready for London, Paris, and Disneyland Paris!
TAGGED BY: @mechatiqe (thank you!)
TAGGING: @quickdeaths, @hxpelessnurse, @dcviated, @tacitusauxilium, and you!

BIOGRAPHY
arthur had pretty normal and healthy upbringing. both of his parents were yale graduates who encouraged a young arthur to persue his studies. his father was a high profile lawyer and his mother was a celebrated journalist who traveled the world. although arthur spent most of his formative years being looked after by a nanny, his parents still made an effort to be there for their son.
when arthur was sixteen and on vacation in italy with his parents, something unusual happened and the trip was cut short. his parents became paranoid after the trip and constantly looking over their shoulder, though they never told arthur what happened or why.
shortly after his nineteenth birthday and just as he was starting a new semester at yale, arthur got a call that his parents were found in a terrible accident. rushing off campus and across town, their home had been caught on fire and his parents bodies couldn't be identified nor autopsied. this left arthur orphaned and alone, he was wrecked and could hardly finish the remainder of the semester.
deciding to take a break for the spring semester, arthur was able to live off the hefty inheritance his parents left for him though he was a ghost of his former self who simply locked himself away in an apartment near where his old home was. by that summer when he was re-evaluating what he wanted to do next, he got a surprise visit from someone he hadn't seen in nearly a decade. his uncle archer.
the man had always been a mystery to arthur, he seemed to always be traveling and never visited for more than two or three days at a time until he stopped showing up. archer stayed with him for several months, encouraging arthur to start over somewhere new. he mentioned that he had a place down in louisiana that arthur could stay at until he figured out where he wanted to go.
and so he did, arthur packed up his belongings and said goodbye to connecticut. alexandria is unlike anywhere arthur has ever been to before and he's still not adjusted to the humidity or the strange aura that the town has. he's taken a job at his uncle's book store in the mean time.

THE BASICS:
FULL NAME: Elias Brian Wyler
NICKNAMES: Ellie, to close friends
AGE & BIRTHDAY: 36 & May 11, 1987
BIRTHDAY PLACE: Honolulu, HI
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
MARITAL STATUS: Married, but separated
ZODIAC: ☼ Taurus
+ TRAITS: Empathetic, Spontaneous, Sensual, Practical
- TRAITS: Pretentious, Stubborn, Cynical, Unreliable
NEIGHBORHOOD: The Suburbs
OCCUPATION: Fisherman & Charter Guide @ The Marina
PERSONALITY:
His good days are good and his bad days are the worst -- Elias leads a life with no middle ground. He tends to exist on a high frequency, abundant energy transformed into a tunnel vision focus for errant hobbies, often shirking basic responsibilities and bailing on those closest to him. He's little talk and all action, impulsivity and passion creating a colorful reputation in his wake. Even when he's deemed pretentious and cynical, he still takes pride in the fact that no one could ever call him lukewarm.
BIOGRAPHY:
Elias would tell you that he was born on the run (most likely while sitting in a nondescript bar, fishing cherries out of a Dirty Shirley), but that's not quite the truth. It sounds like it, on the first telling, when he carries on to list everywhere he lived between the ages of zero and eighteen; Hawaii, Georgia, Italy, Japan, Washington, Maine, etc. It's a lot, sure, but there was never any urgency to it. No fear or rush as the Wyler family packed up for the umpteenth time and moved across the country again. The excitement of getting a fresh start in a new neighborhood and new school district wore off somewhere around the sixth grade for Elias. It had become routine. After all, that's just the hand you're dealt as a military brat, huh?
For being a Marine, Elias never viewed his father as a particularly strict figure in his life. He was absent, mostly, sometimes even missing holidays at home. And his mother, overburdened with five children and a part-time job as a school nurse, never became a fully-formed individual in his mind, either. As he grew up, he became thankful for their habitual moving, frequently acting out and never facing consequences because of it. It wasn't until they moved to Maine just before the start of his senior year that Elias felt like anything would ever be permanent -- and even then, it still wasn't. He made sure of it.
With stars in his eyes, he graduated from Merrock High in a rush, desperate to start his life in every conceivable way. The first thing he did was get married, impulsively (AKA stupidly) tying the knot with his then high school girlfriend. They ushered in a rocky relationship that had no chance at lasting. Elias stuck it out for a few years, determined to believe that he'd put down roots for good, but after a few summers working at The Marina, he cashed out. He left without warning, not telling a soul when he booked a one-way ticket to Australia and just went.
Elias would argue that it's his upbringing that's kept him on the move for all these years. After a paradoxically sheltered yet cultured life experience, he wanted to explore the world in his own way. To literally broaden his horizons. Somewhere along the way, Elias picked up photography, becoming half-decent at it and garnering a few minor publications, but it's mostly odd jobs and mooching off his siblings that's continued to fund his world travels. Being back in Merrock for the first time since his early twenties, Elias only considers it a pitstop to tie up loose ends. Funny how he's found himself signing a lease and working a steady job... Surely it doesn't mean anything.
HEADCANONS & EXTRAS:
one of the least judgmental people you'll ever meet! considers life to be one big joke of an experiment and maintains that nothing is ever set in stone.
that being said, elias has his bouts of pretention -- catch him on a Sad Drunk night and he'll for sure lament the death of print media.
very much a failed photographer (emphasis on failed), but he still enjoys the rare silence of a darkroom now and then.
has several scattered tattoos that lack any sort of meaning. his oldest ink is the marine corps emblem on his upper arm, which he got to match his brother who'd just enlisted -- jake didn't find it as funny as elias thought it was.
partied hard in his 20s, dabbling in all sorts of substances, but he's since pulled back. he won't turn down a good offer if it comes his way, buuuut... yeah, he's feeling his age more often than not.
unironically could still describe his nights out tho
for as flighty as he is, elias is exceptional at his job. he's always loved the ocean, often extending his visits to more tropical locales, so he's right at home on the docks. the only drawback? charters. he gets reprimanded a lot for rolling his eyes at people who don't know how to bait a hook.
never had any pets growing up, so he's one of those freaks that sort of treats animals like independent human beings themselves.

get to know you asks!
If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
What's your favorite color in general? To wear? To use in artwork?
How did you get into writing?
Do you have a favorite book? Favorite author?
If you could take one trait from any animal (tapetum to see in the dark, prehensile tail, claws, etc.) what would it be and why?
What's your favorite type of cuisine?
Do you have a favorite superhero character? Not necessarily the hero themself, anyone from that universe (so you could say Spider-Man or Aunt May, that's what I'm saying)
Do you have a favorite time of day? Why?
Have you ever had pets? What pets would you want in the future?
Thanks for the ask!
1) If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I have a laundry list since I've never left the country. But to name a few... London, England; Scandinavia as a whole; Rome, Georgia to see the Creel House if it ever becomes an AirBNB so I can stay in it for a night; Montepulciano, Italy; and some tropical island, idk which one.
2) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I'm lucky I live in a state that's very... we'll say progressive and it's well known for being so, and I feel very comfortable here. However I've lived here for basically my whole life (wasn't born here, unfortunately) and I keep saying I wanna live somewhere else for a while. Boston's very high on my list since I love the culture and history. But I feel like living in England or even a small Italian town would also be fun.
3) What's your favorite color in general? To wear? To use in artwork?
In General - Sea Foam Green (the color of my walls; I provided the exact paint color name)
To Wear - My favorite clothes are in a Grey-scale
For Artwork - I love shades of blue, but in particular dark blue
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
4) How did you get into writing?
I've always been fascinated by coming up with alternate endings, but my hobby really took off when my middle school best friend and I wrote some... really god awful Star Wars fanfics lmao. We spent soooo long on those, meeting up via Google Docs to write them after school for months. I cherish the memories, not the fics.
I got further into it when I started writing Avengers fics which then just evolved from there... and now I unironically write Twilight fanfiction so you make the call on how this went for me lol.
5) Do you have a favorite book? Favorite author?
I have so many of both.
Authors is a shorter list:
Christopher Paolini
Neil Gaiman
George R.R. Martin (we're waiting, mister)
Rick Riordan
The icons Shakespeare and Marlowe
Mary Shelley
Basically all my Tumblr author friends because you're awesome.
I wish I had more female authors, but unfortunately most of the ones who I've liked reading are ✨️problematic.✨️
Books is a longer list, I'm sorry:
"Wonder" by R.J. Palacio is one of my all time favorites and I recommend everyone to read it who hasn't. Beautiful story and I share a name and a hobby with one of the characters!
"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Musical is absolutely fire, too.
My favorite of Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series is "A Storm of Swords," the third one
Neil Gaiman's works are amazing, but one of his littler known books is "Odd and the Frost Giants" and it's a very funny story. (I have bought a copy of "Good Omens" to read, don't worry, it's just with most of my other books in a box for the summer for apartment move-in. "American Gods" is also on the list after my dad read it.)
I'd be dishonest if I didn't include "Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe because it's such a goofy little play. I'm glad my poor life choices led me to it 👍
I should also mention that my favorite Shakespeare play is "The Scottish Play"
Claudia Gray's Star Wars tie-in, "Bloodline" is a fascinating read as well, about Leia in the New Republic era navigating her political career and personal adventures while trying to hide that she's Darth Vader's daughter.
Similarly, as a kid I was obsessed with the series of short novels, the "Strange Case of Origami Yoda" book series by Tom Angleberger. Just middle school kids balancing their personal weirdness and hard-ass school policies with Star Wars through origami.
Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" was also a really good read.
Another autobiography I'd recommend is Carrie Fisher's "The Princess Diarist." I miss that woman very much.
...Alright I'm just gonna come out and say it, for all its faults, I like "Breaking Dawn" and I'm actually hunting for a thrift store copy as we speak. Garrett's speech is actually pretty dope and, after noticing the frequency that it happened, I tallied how often Aro had to tell someone to chill the fuck out, put it into a pie chart, and you'll never guess who had to be told to shut the fuck up the most...
Tumblr media
Which is hilarious
6) If you could take any trait from any animal, what would it be and why?
I'm basic, I want wings. Bat wings (like Emily tbh) cause bug wings are too fragile and I don't wanna deal with feathers like on bird wings. Why? Cause even if I'd be a flightless creature, it'd look awesome, that's why.
7) What's your favorite type of cuisine?
I'm a whore for noodles. So Italian and Chinese. We've gone to this one family-owned Chinese place for so long and so often the owners know us by name, they have conversations with us when we eat there, and are always commenting on my brother's height since they remember us from when we were tiny little ones (he's over six feet tall now)... and to the point, their chicken lo mein is to DIE for.
8) Do you have a favorite superhero character?
I have a couple, but in particular I like Loki, the Osborns, Wanda Maximov/ff, and, obscure character alert, Verity Willis from the Agent of Asgard comics because one, sans tattoos, she's very cosmetically similar to me with the glasses, dyed purple/red hair, etc. two, she's snarky and just kind of a badass, and three, she's Loki's best friend and how many people can say that they made friends with a guy like that?
(I don't wanna say her tattoos inspired Emily's, but I feel like they'd get along swimmingly)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
9) Do you have a favorite time of day? Why?
I've always liked it when the sun's gone down but the sky's still blue, especially in the summer when here it cools down to perfection... oh dammit, that's technically twilight, isn't it?
10) Have you ever had pets? What pets would you want in the future?
We used to have two kitties a looong time ago, but now we have these two buffons:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At some point I'd like a turtle or a lizard though... maybe a cat of my own further down the line.

I‘m curious :) sooooo you can change one thing for the environment what would you do? Favorits: Film - music - Book - tv Show childhood - Animal - color - weather - flower - food - snack- drink - do you believe in ghost/supernatural things- where are you from- Dream Travel/Holiday ? Are you happy right now? What do find weird or strange? boat or plane? Tropical or the dessert? Fav number? Do you like olives? Social media: mostly good or bad? Take care, lots of love and sun/moonshine to you
Oh wow a lot of questions! Thanks anon 😊
Change one thing for the environment: make nuclear fusion net positive so it’s a viable energy source or something with carbon sequestration.
Favorites: Film is About Time, Music is Dream Pop/Shoegaze, Book: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas, TV Show: Sex and the City, Animal: fox or otter, Color: periwinkle, Weather: sunny with a breeze or a summer thunderstorm, Flower: Hellebore or Peony, Food: anything with pasta or Mediterranean, Snack: I don’t snack much but probably popcorn, Drink: Diet Coke or Sav Blanc
Believe in supernatural: I think I do, it’s complicated but I’m a pretty spiritual person.
I’m originally from Canada but now live in southern Wisconsin.
Dream holiday/travel: start in French Riviera, then off to northern Italy and end in Switzerland
I am very happy right now!
What do I find weird or strange? Hmmmm when someone doesn’t like one particular type of music or just says “all types”.
Boat or plane: plane for travel, boat for fun.
Tropical or Desert: both have their beauty, but I’m drawn more to the desert unless it’s a tropical beach
Favorite number: 8
I do like olives
Social media is mostly bad in my opinion, but it has it’s good parts. It’s a great outlet for creatives (art, cooking, acting, writing, etc). But I’m not a fan of influencer culture.
Thanks again!

FrontierFest [4/20]
👀
Day 4 • Favorite Main Character (Human)
You know, my overall Frontier favorites are the twins (Kouichi mostly) but... The last year rewatch party with friends made me like Takuya the most hehe.
Like, first?? The design for Takuya is cool and simple.
Tumblr media
Unlike the previous protags (Taichi, Daisuke & Takato), Takuya’s hair is less “spikyish” and more like Sora’s, but when he removes his hat in some scenes (like evolution, beach episode, etc) or in recent promo art his hair has a few spiky strands defying gravity.
I love his goggles, but I friggin cannot draw them correctly (yeah... orz) -- they’re suqareish and has purple lenses. The strap is greyish instead of the typical black (used for Taichi,Daisuke and Takato goggles) and it’s not on his hair but on his cap.
The cap gives a cute touch in his design. Since his hair is not that spiky like the other classic era series’ protags, the hat makes a great fit on Takuya’s design.
I love his shirt and this symbol. It’s also on his hat as well. Seems to be a brand of clothes. Anyway, they’re pretty cool and i wonder if Takuya has more outfits with this same symbol 🤔
His pants are the coolest part of the design imo. I love them so much. The color has a good match for a couple of colors besides Red & Yellow. I think i had pants like these before?? Maybe not, but I do remember having something similar but not in this color lol...
The color palette is pretty cool (ironic huh) and i like how the brown- green-ish gloves, hat and pants work with the red, yellow and orange parts of his outfit.
Really. A very good design imo.
ANYWAY, his personality is fiery and he definitely seems like a little trollish dumbass. But he’s also nice and has a good skill with kids (Tomoki) and is quite optimistic. I feel like Takuya’s personality is a mix of both Taichi & Daisuke to give some reference, in which he got the niceness of both, but also the rough part as well. He’s pretty much a leader type for me, despite being a bit of a trainwreck from time-to-time.
He likes soccer! And, according to this Drama CD released recently, he’s aiming to go professional and go play in Italy (Italy... Isn’t this the country another character lived and then returned to Japan in this series, hmmm...?) unlike Taichi and Daisuke, who definitely saw soccer as more of a hobby to entertain them than something they wanted to go pro later hehe.
FUN FACT: The BR dub for Frontier had the same voice actor for Ash (until he gor replaced by another VA in Sun Moon i think?) -- Fábio Lucindo. Takuya’s voice wasn’t like Ash’s of course, but it was quite funny because both wear hats 🤣 He also voiced Jin from Grand Chase’s BR server, and I have a friend who used to love this VA, Frontier (Takuya especially) and was so much in love with Jin and wanted Lucindo to voice him. And... well it happened!! But okay this is quite of changing the subject... 💦
Maybe Takuya became my favorite character now. But I swear I still love Kouichi, Kouji and everyone tbh... haha orz
(Yes, I talked more about his design because I'm an aspiring and amateur character designer oof)

@wexarethewalkingxdead whispered: 🎂 — age and/or birthday ✈️ — ever traveled anywhere interesting? 🐶 — any pets? 🎶 — favorite song at the moment? 🖤 — what was one of the worst/most depressing moments you’ve had in the rpc?
Tumblr media
munday asks!
🎂 → i'm 21, and my birthday is april 24!
✈️ → i went to germany for an international music festival in the summer of 2018, and i had a lot of fun there playing with an orchestra and chamber group and getting to explore there. and in spring 2019 i went to italy with my senior high school latin class, and i did a lot of cool stuff there like tour monuments and saw some other cool historical museums and sites.
🐶 → i have two seven-year old half poodle and half english setter mix dogs, they're brothers from the same litter and they're like a tannish gold in color. their names are austin and biscuit, austin is big but very gentle and relaxed, meanwhile biscuit is littler and is very high strung and is also a massive attention hog.
🎶 → uhhhh i gotta be honest with you i have a ton hahaha. i've been listening to a lot of chung ha lately tho. also other kpop artists like purple kiss & taeyeon. usually i just scroll through the recent releases sections of genres that i'm into like dance/pop/kpop to look for new music.
🖤 → idk i think whenever i lose a mutual to hiatus/personal things/deactivation/change of interests/etc it's pretty sad for me, especially one that i've had close connections with. i can understand the circumstances behind it so i try to live with it, but part of me still misses them and the good times we had together. i also have had people confront me about specific topics that i like to write a lot about and tend to infodump about (cuz neurodivergence n shit) and folks will call me weird n harass me for some of the choices i make like??? go outside or smth ksdjhf lmao.

Alright, tell me about your OCs. I want to know everything. Age, background, gender, sexuality, favourite colour, season, memories, etc. Just rant about them. Please.
Okay so I have been delaying this since I wanted to make a drawing of all 4 of the ocs I planned to rant about, but I didn't have any ideas for it so I will just do this completely unplanned. If you want any more details, please ask, this is a very short summary.
Small bit of lore for the world - It takes place in a fictional fantasy world which takes heavy inspiration from Italy and Greece. The main continent is ruled by one central empire lead by an immortal king, magic comes from bloodlines (mostly). The technology level in it is roughly 1870s but some thing from later do exist like Jukeboxes, cassette tapes, and Walled telephones. This is done purely for atheistic and trains.

Gender: demigirl (she/they)
Sexuality: Lesbian
Favorite color: pink
Background: She affectively controls the undercity of the capital through being head of one of the most influential criminal gangs in the city and taking power during Juno's rebellion.

--------------
Demos
Tumblr media
Age: 21
Sexuality: Demiromantic
Gender: Cis Male (he/they)
Favorite Color: Blue
Background: His parents died during the beginning of Juno's rebellion when he was 10, leading him to run away, during his time on the run during the war he met Eracio and the two became close freinds eventually they arrived at the monastery of "the brotherhood of the empty mind"(its basically a group of assassins who have sworn loyalty to the king). He stayed there for 5 years till when he was 17 he decided to leave due to feeling that he was killing innocent people as an assassin. So now he was on the run again, but now he was a wanted criminal as a result of leaving the brotherhood. For the next 4 years he was alone apart from his traveling companion Iakona, the two of them eventually would fight a battle in the capital against government forces, leaving both seriously injured, forcing them into the care of a kind bookseller.

Hi dear! 💛 It's been ages since I've been in your askbox. I've been meaning to ask you this for ages: is your s/i the same with each f/o or are there certain things that differ i.e. a certain set of skills that's different with each f/o?
Hope this week's started well for you and that the rest of it will be kind on your soul <333 🤍☀️
All the boys are sending their kind regards to you <3 Jack's off to sea again, we had a great time together when he was here 🥺 Things with Cas and Cowboy are good, I've been busy with schoolwork so they've been taking the horses out for rides together, I love seeing them together and I'm so glad they have someting they can bond over like that <3 Things with B are still fresh but we've gotten a lot closer from when we first met <3
All my love, Mags 💌
Hi Magda! 💛
It has been ages since I last received an ask from you, hasn't it? I hope that life has been treating you well & that things are a bit brighter for you lately.
Ooh, this is a phenomenal question! I rarely get asked about my s/i & i would love to talk about her some more:
so, if you don't know, my s/i is named Audrey Benedict & she is essentially me, i.e. there are not really any differences personality-wise or anything like that (as a self-shipper, I want my s/i to resemble myself as closely as possible.) I use her across the board; whenever I write personal fics, if I don't want to use the first tense or 'I, me, my', I will use Audrey & write in third person, even though she is me.
That being said, she is different in each f/os canon because Audrey is essentially a manifestation of each vivid aspect of my personality.
I'll discuss in detail the three most developed f/o canon I've created for Audrey:
The Brothers Grimm: in the brothers grimm canon, she's the strictly creative side of my personality: a writer, poet, gardener, story-teller, adventurer, etc. she has a deep appreciation for music, she's introverted & shy (perhaps more than I am in my real life) and she is the sweeter, more pure & naive/innocent part of my personality who is all good things, sunshine & happiness. the brothers grimm takes place in the late 1700s to early 1800s, therefore Audrey is much different than she would be in canon that takes place in modern times. to fit the times, she wears dresses (think Belle's blue dress in the live action beauty and the beast.) overall, brothers grimm!Audrey represents the part of me that longs for a quiet place of isolation where I can focus solely on creating & living with my loves & all my emotions, where sadness melts away...
Ocean's Eleven: in the ocean's eleven canon, Audrey is the only daughter of billionaire Las Vegas hotel resort owner Terry Benedict, so her overall presence is much different: she wears expensive, glittery dresses, works alongside Terry and helps manage the resorts, curates the museum at the Bellagio & Terry's personal art collection that the two of them share. Her circle of trust is quite small, mainly Terry & a friend of his & her boyfriend Linus Caldwell, whom has begun to grow on Terry now that he's dating his daughter. In spite of growing up in the lap of luxury, Audrey is a very good person & has learned the value of hard work because she has never seen her father not working & handling things himself to the best of his abilities. He's a single father & that has never been an issue for him; that has only made their connection even stronger. Ocean's eleven!Audrey has two homes: The Las Vegas Strip (more often than not it's the Bellagio where she spends the majority of her time) & a villa on Lake Como, Italy (villa erba if you want to search for it), where Terry takes her quite often to visit his friend François Toulour (another f/o from the ocean's trilogy I don't talk about much.)
Scarface: (This one I'm still working on because Tony is still so new to me) Scarface!Audrey is tropical vibes, bright colors, spring/summer, beaches & sunshine. For these two, I love the trope of a morally grey/bad character who falls in love with a pure character who is too good to corrupt. I don't really want to discuss their fanon simply because it takes place after events in the movie that would be spoilers to anyone who hasn't seen it. I will say that I am working on connecting Ocean's Eleven & Scarface, which has been really fun & exciting for me because those two are the most similar f/o films & make for an interesting story when put together.
So, Audrey is essentially the same in each of my f/o's canon, but different aspects of my personality are highlighted in each canon because each movie has a different vibe or aura than each other, which lends itself to this in a way. Thank you so much for asking about Audrey!!
Thank you, dear💛💛 this week has been crazy. I started a workout routine: 1 hour of exercise per day & at least 10,000 steps a day & lemme tell ya, IT IS NOT EASY WHEN YOU'RE FIRST STARTING OUT. And I learned another thing about myself along the way: I AM WILDLY OUT OF SHAPE. so this week's been kind of a struggle with that & juggling work, cleaning, errands, etc. I'm so glad it's the weekend! I hope this week was good to you & that you were able to find some peace in between this crazy schedule we all seem to find ourselves stuck in.
I'm so glad to hear about your f/os!! I hope Jack is staying safe out there; he gets himself into trouble sometimes, but he knows the sea better than anyone, so I'm sure he's right at home (except I bet he feels even more at home when he's with you!) I hope your schoolwork is going well!! It's great to hear that Cas and Cowboy are getting along and going horse riding together; it's such a relief whenever f/os get along like that; they're developing such a special & sweet bond🥺That's fantastic that you and B are growing even closer now that you've known each other for a bit! I'm certain the bond will strengthen & deepen much more with time!
Take care of you, dear, & be kind to yourself. Sending you well wishes, the warmest regards & all my love💛

CHARACTER INFORMATION
face claim: Christopher Abbott
full name: Elias Brian Wyler
nickname(s) / goes by: Elias, Ellie to close friends.
pronouns & gender: Cis man, He/Him
sexuality: Heterosexual
birth date: May 11, 1987
birth place: Honolulu, Hawaii
arrival to merrock: Originally moved to Merrock as a teenager, leaving shortly after high school (2005-2009) and has only recently returned in the summer of 2023.
housing: The Suburbs
occupation: Fisherman and Charter Guide
work place: The Marina
family: Jacob Sr. & Samantha Wyler (parents), four siblings
relationship status: Married, but separated.
PERSONALITY
His good days are good and his bad days are the worst -- Elias leads a life with no middle ground. He tends to exist on a high frequency, abundant energy transformed into a tunnel vision focus for errant hobbies, often shirking basic responsibilities and bailing on those closest to him. He's little talk and all action, impulsivity and passion creating a colorful reputation in his wake. Even when he's deemed pretentious and cynical, he still takes pride in the fact that no one could ever call him lukewarm.
WRITTEN BY: B (she/her), pst.
BACKGROUND / BIO
Elias would tell you that he was born on the run (most likely while sitting in a nondescript bar, fishing cherries out of a Dirty Shirley), but that's not quite the truth. It sounds like it, on the first telling, when he carries on to list everywhere he lived between the ages of zero and eighteen; Hawaii, Georgia, Italy, Japan, Washington, Maine, etc. It's a lot, sure, but there was never any urgency to it. No fear or rush as the Wyler family packed up for the umpteenth time and moved across the country again. The excitement of getting a fresh start in a new neighborhood and new school district wore off somewhere around the sixth grade for Elias. It had become routine. After all, that's just the hand you're dealt as a military brat, huh?
For being a Marine, Elias never viewed his father as a particularly strict figure in his life. He was absent, mostly, sometimes even missing holidays at home. And his mother, overburdened with five children and a part-time job as a school nurse, never became a fully-formed individual in his mind, either. As he grew up, he became thankful for their habitual moving, frequently acting out and never facing consequences because of it. It wasn't until they moved to Maine just before the start of his senior year that Elias felt like anything would ever be permanent -- and even then, it still wasn't. He made sure of it.
With stars in his eyes, he graduated from Merrock High in a rush, desperate to start his life in every conceivable way. The first thing he did was get married, impulsively (AKA stupidly) tying the knot with his then high school girlfriend. They ushered in a rocky relationship that had no chance at lasting. Elias stuck it out for a few years, determined to believe that he'd put down roots for good, but after a few summers working at The Marina, he cashed out. He left without warning, not telling a soul when he booked a one-way ticket to Australia and just went.
Elias would argue that it's his upbringing that's kept him on the move for all these years. After a paradoxically sheltered yet cultured life experience, he wanted to explore the world in his own way. To literally broaden his horizons. Somewhere along the way, Elias picked up photography, becoming half-decent at it and garnering a few minor publications, but it's mostly odd jobs and mooching off his siblings that's continued to fund his world travels. Being back in Merrock for the first time since his early twenties, Elias only considers it a pitstop to tie up loose ends. Funny how he's found himself signing a lease and working a steady job... Surely it doesn't mean anything.
