informally answering/replying to @harmonysanreads questions in le reblog. ask and ye shall receive answers

'Tis a good question. First, I insert a load of unicorn farts---

My kneejerk answer is:

But that's also a fucking LIE RAHHHHHHHHH 🔫

but i suppose 'delightfully flavored chaos' is the best way to put it, as you can tell from the above. when it comes to writing stuff, I generally only really use a loose outline, with maybe a box or two that absolutely has to be checked. it's mostly because I sort of like letting my fingers...just kinda go where they want. Letting the story 'write itself', ifykyk. There's no real eloquent way for me to put this, but I think the easiest way to put my thought process while writing waxing moon is:

"ok how do i do the silly haha before traumatizing the shit outta my readers. and the reader. and aventurine."

wait...that's not quite right either (and also my thoughts obviously got a shitload darker than that). Actually, now that I think about it, I should've started with this. if there's a single quote I had to point to that singlehandedly influenced my writing, it's this:

"The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes." - Nikolai Gogol

so...while i of course don't strictly adhere to this (since writing must fit its rhetorical situation), it's something I really love to do and try to do often. even if it's just a single sentence, a single word...to interject something of amusement is to give levity and a smile. but in the right circumstances, amusement becomes twisted, and even used against you. you read of a man's suffering, to which there is a single quip that has you smiling; and then, do you stop? do you stop to think: 'do I smile at this man's misery?' in other words, amusement, or 'funny things' in a story has a wide variety of uses. my favorite way to use it is to place it in a situation where it feels like it just shouldn't be there but is; and at the moment it feels like a relief, but of course, the narrative still continues. and that single moment of normalcy, of levity, it then highlights the absurdity, horror, etc. of the rest of the narrative.

but i also enjoy writing scenes where there's a strong sense of hopelessness and fatality looming over.

with my yan fics, I sort of wanna make my reader feel like both the spectator but also be in the story; I don't think this is a particular novel thing amongst us yan authors, but it's something I try to keep in mind and adhere to. I want them to feel unsettled, happy, amused, etc. But most importantly, with these stories, I want to leave them with a sort of confusion. to read a story so, so twisted, yet with a brutal softness to it...i just love it when fiction gives me complicated feelings about something, and it's something I hope to at least partially emulate lmao

idk. ig that wasn't really talking about my thought process in exact, but that's the closet thing I can come up with. metacognition hard.

(side note: i don't actually read gogol, but I am interested in at least reading the 'overcoat'. it seems to include the themes of mundanity that I just love *mwah* but I'm also too lazy to go ahead and download a pdf or something. Plus. i found a book called legends and lattes where an ogre starts a coffee shop in a fantasy realm. it looks great and I'm getting my hands on it as soon as I can)

physics isn't actually terrible, i just don't understand it. i have no clue how I got an A in physics. but I've also been really good at bullshitting reports while also not actually bullshitting them. and I can't really make fun of people who listen to physics stuff recreationally. i just finished a video about why 37 keeps appearing everywhere, from my refrigerator to my gacha games. and I'm currently chipping away at quinton review's nickelodeon retrospect. and then amateur politic theory and media analysis.

so in a way im making fun of both you and me, and you know what they say: two negatives make a positive.

before i go into symbolism: I would like to say a personal belief of mine:

although the answers i give may be the 'official symbolisms' and 'meanings', still feel free to read this fic with whatever lens of interpretation you want! if anything, it can be said that the 'official' meanings are also just another interpretation of the text. beauty is the in the eye of the beholder. anyway, moving onwards:

mmm, sorta? i originally intended to use the tower throughout, but those scenes got cut for pacing reasons, but I decided to keep the tower metaphor just as a sort of way to characterize reader.

specifically, the tower symbolizes 'stability.' reader wants to live a normal life, a modest but stable one. I've mostly based in on the 'Tower' arcana (but let's make it clear: my understanding of the arcana is a superficial understanding of a superficial understanding lmao)

ripping from the persona wiki because of my laziness:

but yeah, keep in mind that the reader isn't a one-and-one interpretation of the tower arcana. but I think you can definitely see the correlations lmao.

however the 'stability' of that tower is definitely dependent on their mental state which....well...

eh, i'm sure it'll work out....ehehehe......

this is probably something i should've clarified a bit more, but I decided against it at the time since I wrote this assuming the reader read destroyed onset; basically, I've carried over the 'ink' metaphor from it. it's actually pretty simple: ink is just 'fear,' but an especially potent one. thick and slimy, oozing its way down your back and just being nasty in general......a fear that may come to drown and burn you.

again, i probably should've been more clear, esp in this fic, but I when I was writing onset, I made it a bit more vague since I thought it was just. way too obvious and didn't want to feel like I was directly telling my readers and spoonfeeding them symbolize like they're toddlers. i was basically worried that I might've not been trusting y'all enough 😭 I wouldn't say that this series is like some. super duper cryptic puzzle you'll have to study for years to understand, but ofc I don't want to make it too easy, otherwise it's not as fun to pick and prod at the details and think about a fic if it's just too "obvious," at least to me.

Yeah, and i can see why. im not gonna go on a psychoanalysis tangent or anything, but since so many of us fantasize about a yandere for the idea of being wanted or....or just not having to work or pay for rent....it's definitely really easy to indulge in it in a romantic aspect.

i personally sort of love these sort of outcomes though, because the psyche of it all is so interesting! and deliciously messed up. similarly to the great @/jessamine-rose, I too love myself a twisted happy ending (as one can tell from how much I think about that gogol quote lmao)

predicted his twilight looking ass, and also fulfilling my life long dream of telling a stranger some weird twilight book

"da skinn of a keeler" (im sorry)

also i have not read twilight. but my friend also has a gun, so it's only a matter of time before I'm held to gunpoint by her

😏

i have abided by these wise words. i thought I included them, but I didn't. and also the second banner. anyways, moving forward, I defo won't be forgetting to do this. and I've also gone back to onset and added the word count there so as not to spook anyone too badly.

ty! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

(fr tho all of these asks, comments....unparalleled rizz I say)

#speckled answers #unlawfully #yeah the police are at my house sorry guys #looks like i'll just have to type with my hands shackled in chains #destroyed onset #waning moon

Safari Hunt

By Leefloof and SisterPaw125

Summary: The girls want to play Safari with Khan and Nori. Nori thinks that she would play as the beast like every other round, only for the roles to be reversed. (Or in which Khan gets to be it for a change and gets revenge on Nori.)

Ft. Uzi, Doll, Khan, and Nori

Day 27 of Tickletober: Monster (Promptlist by @tickletober!)

Note: Happy tickletober everyone! >:]

Enjoy! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ 💝

Warning(s): None, this is a sfw tickle fic, Don’t like keep scrolling

DNI N$FW/F3T!$H accounts!!! 🚫🔫

Words: 2,624

˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚. ˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚. ˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚. ˚. ✦.˳·˖✶ ⋆.✧̣̇˚.

It was a typical day at the Doorman house. Khan was currently working on blueprints for a new door while Nori was reading on the couch. All was peaceful until two dronelings walked through the front door.

“Mom! Dad! We’re home!” Their daughter, Uzi, shouted

Next to her stood her cousin Doll, who eagerly accompanied Uzi to hang their backpacks by the door. Nori glanced over and noticed them approaching the hooks, where they proceeded to hang their backpacks on the wall. With a smile, she stood up to greet the two.

“Welcome back girls! How was school?” Nori asked

“It was good! We learned about the steam engine today in history!” Doll gushed

“Yeah! But Doll couldn’t stop talking about it all day!” Uzi yawned out of boredom

“I was not!” Doll retorted

Nori couldn't help but smile. Earlier that day, the solver holder had received a call from her sister, who informed her that she and Yuri needed to attend to some important matters to discuss with their leader later on. She asked Nori if she could look after their daughter until they returned, as they didn't have a babysitter. Of course, Nori agreed to take care of Doll for the day. Hence, that's why she was with Uzi.

“Doll, you’re gonna be staying with us for the time being. Your parents have important business to attend.” Nori informed

Doll’s face lit up at the news, no longer upset at Uzi’s comment.

“Cool! That means we can hang out even longer Uzi!” Doll said excitedly

“Let’s go play in my room!” Uzi grinned as she rushes out of the living room to her room

Doll soon follows her into her room, leaving Nori alone in the room. She chuckles as she walked back to the couch and picked up her book to continue reading. A few seconds later Khan walked out of his office to join Nori, wiping his visor as he plopped down beside her with a tired groan.

“The kids are back?” Khan asked

“Mhm.” Nori responded not looking up from her book

“Best to get as much rest am I right?”

“Yeah…”

-In Uzi’s room-

The two lay on the carpeted floor, looking up at the ceiling, having just finished playing with the purple-clad droneling's toy cars.

"That was fun! What should we play?" Uzi asked, turning to face Doll.

The other droneling sat up, pondering the games they had created to satisfy their boredom.

"Well, we could play police and robbers, heroes and villains. Oh! And tickle bugs!" Doll suggested, but it seemed that Uzi wasn't interested in either of them.

“Eh, we’ve played those games like a quadrillion times already.” Uzi replied turning back to the ceiling

"Then what should we play? We can't just lie down and look at the ceiling forever," Doll said.

Uzi hummed in response as it was now her turn to come up with something for the two of them to play. At first, her thoughts were hazy, but then she recalled the game they used to enjoy. Suddenly, she gasped with excitement, sitting up straight as she remembered the game they had played long ago.

"I got it! How about Safari?" Uzi suggested.

"Oh yeah! I remember that one! But..." Doll hesitated.

"But?" Uzi repeated.

"What if your dad says no? You know how the game goes," Doll remarked.

It was true, Khan didn't really like the game since he gets caught most of the time, but Uzi thought this out. She placed her arm around Doll before smirking.

"Oh, he won't say no this time."

-Back in the living room-

Khan played with Nori's hair as she continued to read her book. It had been a while since Uzi and Doll had gone to her room to play. Normally, they would rush out and greet the couple with a dozen questions about everything that came across their minds within a short amount of time, but it didn't happen, much to Khan's relief.

He sighed contentedly as he lays on Nori's shoulder, gently touching the sleeve of her navy blue shirt before gazing at her shoulder.

"You know, it's been an hour since those rascals came home and didn't bother us," Khan said.

"And?" Nori asked, looking up from her book and at her husband.

"I have a gut feeling that at any moment, they're going to run up here and either ask the most bizarre question or if we could play a game," Khan stated.

"Well, maybe not this time, Khan," Nori replied.

"Trust me, Nori, gut feelings are never wrong."

Just as Khan said that sentence, Uzi and Doll ran out of Uzi's room and towards the couch, excited smiles greeting the two adults as they stopped right in front of them. Khan gave Nori a 'told you so' look before focusing on the girls.

"Hey Dad?" Uzi began.

"Yes, my little machine gun?" Khan asked.

"Can we play Safari?"

The male worker halted abruptly when his daughter brought up that game. Although he liked playing it, Nori always ended up being "it" in the game. The worse part of it was that the kids were the ones who decided who would be the “Beast”. He looks at Nori, who had a wide grin on her face, knowing what’s to come.

"Uh, well sweetie, I don't think we should-" Khan started, but was cut off by Uzi.

"You can be the beast this time." Uzi deadpanned.

"Wait what?" Nori asked.

Nori's grin flattened as Uzi made his statement. Meanwhile, Khan was surprised as he had never been the beast before. Nori looked at her husband, hoping that he would decline, but it seemed that luck was not on her side today.

"Deal," Khan grinned.

"Khan!" Nori exclaimed.

The girls whooped in victory before rushing to Uzi's room to gather the necessary items for the game, giggling as they did so.

"You're with us, Mom! And you already know the rules!" Uzi smiled as she pointed at her, before disappearing into her room once more to get their safari outfits ready.

The adults were once again left alone in the living room. Khan stood up from the couch and went to where the starting position was. As he did so, he smirked at Nori, who still had a dumbfounded expression, and affectionately patted her head.

"Heh, don't worry, honey. I'll take it easy on you. After all, it is your first time not being the Beast. Rawr," Khan playfully teased, only to receive a smack on his arm.

"Bite me!" Nori shouted.

Later on…

Uzi, Doll, and Nori were sitting inside a cardboard box, using it as a makeshift vehicle to drive into the dense forest and vines. Eventually, they arrived at their destination, as Uzi made a horrible screeching noise to announce that the vehicle “stopped”.

"Okay, we're here. Remember to be quiet around these parts. We don't want to attract any wild animals," Uzi instructed.

"Or the Beast," Doll added.

The trio got out of the cardboard box and started to creep around the furniture, crawling on all fours as they hoped not to attract any attention. Uzi led the group, while Doll took "pictures" with the toy camera she had packed. She sometimes pointed out toy animals that they had placed all over the house, giggling as they did so.

Nori was a bit nervous. She knew how Safari worked, and it didn't end well, according to Khan at least. The "beast" would stalk the trio until it was time to pounce and eat one of them, and the other two would have to stop it. The problem was that she didn't know when or where the attack would happen.

As the group continued their journey, they made their way towards the kitchen, which they fondly called the "Twin water falls" in their small world. They crawled under one of the aisles, and Nori felt grateful for wearing shorts as the floor was damp, likely due to a sink leakage. She made a mental note to tell her husband later.

Thud!

Something was directly above them.

The group froze instantly as they continued to hear the faint taps on the table. Suddenly, it ceased, and the group collectively exhaled a breath they hadn't realized they were holding.

Nori's false sense of security was shattered when a hand abruptly seized her leg and yanked her out from beneath the table. A yelp escaped her lips as she was forcefully dragged away from Uzi and Doll.

"Mom!" Uzi shouted as Nori was being dragged away.

"Doll! We have to go after her!" Uzi exclaimed as she emerged from under the table, accompanied by her cousin.

"Way ahead of you!" Doll replied.

Both girls take out toy guns and run after Nori. The beast took many sharp turns as they pursue it, the worst thing was that it was almost too fast to keep up. Eventually, Uzi and Doll lost their track. The two try to regain their breaths as they stop to rest.

"Dang it! We lost her!" Uzi exclaimed angrily.

"What do we do now?" Doll asked, uncertain.

-In the office den-

The beast had taken its prey back into its cave. It gently threw Nori onto a pile of pillows, causing her to let out an "oof!" as she landed on the soft surface. Once the solver bearer regained her composure, she nervously glanced at Khan, fully aware of what would happen next.

"K-Khan, come on, we don't have to do this," Nori said with a nervous grin, extending her hand to create some distance between herself and Khan, who continued to advance. Each step he took only heightened her anticipation.

"Sorry, Nori, but you know the rules. Besides, you never backed down when you were the beast," Khan stated as he approached.

Nori gulped, knowing that Khan would show her no mercy. She tried to mentally prepare herself for the worst that was about to come. However, deep down, she knew she could never truly be ready.

That was when he suddenly pounced on her, pinning her down and began nibbling at her neck. Nori couldn't help but giggle and shriek as he playfully nuzzled her neck, his mustache making the ticklish sensations ten times worse. Oh, dear robot-god, why did she ever encourage him to get that mustache?

"Nahahahahaha! Kahahahan!" Nori giggled as she attempted to push his head away from the side of her neck.

"Khan isn't here anymore, only the beast! Rawr!" Khan chuckled as he persisted in tickling her neck.

“No! Ahahahahaha! Somebody hehehelp mehehe!” Nori pleaded as she continued to struggle

Meanwhile, Uzi and Doll continued their search for Nori, but despite their efforts, they always found themselves back at square one.

“Where could she be? We looked everywhere for her!” Doll exclaimed

“I dunno, but she couldn’t have gone that far.” Uzi replied

Suddenly, the dronelings heard laughter coming from Khan's office.

“Is that..?”

“I think so, let’s go Doll!”

They follow the sound of laughter and make their way to the beast's cave, peeking inside to see the beast "eating" Nori as she kicks her legs from the tickles.

“Aunt Nori-!” Doll whispered before Uzi covered her mouth, silencing her.

“Shh, he’ll hear you.” Uzi warned

The girls glanced up to ensure that the Beast hadn't noticed them. Fortunately, he was still occupied with Nori. They exchanged another look.

"Okay, here's the plan..." Uzi started, leaning closer to Doll's audio receptors.

The dronelings move slowly and quietly towards the beast. Nori spots the girls but remains silent to avoid alerting him. However, Khan senses that something isn't right and abruptly stops the tickly attack, allowing Nori to regain composure. Realizing that Khan has stopped, the girls swiftly take cover behind the boxes in the corner. Fortunately, he doesn't turn around in time to spot them.

“Hm, I could’ve sworn I heard something.” Khan says to himself as he looks around

Nori panicked. If he finds the girls they'll all lose the game. She can't let that happen, unless…

"Actually, I wasn't a fan of your designs for the new door," Nori complained.

Khan turned his head back to Nori, surprised by her comment.

Seeing an opportunity, she continued, "Seriously, a plain white door? That's so boring. You can do better than that."

"I'm willing to bet that Heap can come up with a better design," Nori teased.

She waits for his reaction, hoping that he would take the bait. Khan stares at her in disbelief. He never expected her to say something like this, let alone taunt about his door designs.

His surprised expression soon turned into a mischievous one as he pinned Nori’s arms to her sides, earning a surprised yelp from her.

“Oh ho ho that’s it! You have been a pain on my side for quite some time! And speaking of sides, I think it’s time for me to eat those too! Along with your belly!”

…Maybe the taunt worked too well.

“W-wait I didn’t mean it like that. Khan pleHEHEAHEHAHAHA!!” But before she could finish her sentence, she burst into laughter as Khan continued tickling her, this time targeting her stomach.

She squirmed and flailed, caught off guard by his sudden raspberries. She couldn't predict when or where he would strike next.

"AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHO! STAHAHAHA!" Nori's laughter echoed through the room.

Unbeknownst to Khan, Uzi and Doll had silently crept up behind him, seizing the perfect moment to strike.

“Surprise attack!”

“Huh? Ack—!”

The girls both tackled Khan from the side, freeing Nori. She sat back up only to see Uzi and Doll wrestling with Khan before they were finally able to create an opening.

"His back is exposed, Uzi! Shoot him!" Doll shouted.

"Your days of terror are over, beast!" Uzi declared, aiming the toy gun at his target.

And with that, Uzi fired at Khan's back with the toy gun. The projectile bounced off the man, but the impact was immediate as Khan yelped and writhed on the floor in "pain".

"Argh! Nooo! I'm dying! My life is flashing before my eyes! It's over! Aah!" Khan exclaimed, putting on a very overdramatic act before flopping onto the floor. The beast had finally been slain.

Finally recovering from the tickles, Nori sat up and opened her arms to congratulate the girls for saving her.

"You saved me! My little heroines!" Nori praised as she hugged them tightly.

The dronelings giggled and returned the hug.

"All in a day's work," Doll said, tipping her hat.

"Yeah! We saved the day!" Uzi cheered.

Khan got up from the floor and walked towards the group, placing a hand on Uzi's hair and ruffling it.

"Haha, yes you did, my little machine gun! Now, who wants to watch a movie?"

Uzi and Doll both perked up at the question, jumping up and down and raising their hands like the excited children they were.

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!"

"Alright! Go ahead and pick one in the living room! We'll be there in a minute!"

The kids sprinted to the living room, leaving Nori and Khan behind. Just as Nori was about to leave, she suddenly felt a pair of hands gripping her sides.

"And where do you think you're going?" Khan asked.

"T-to the living room where the kids are-" Nori couldn't finish her sentence as Khan pulled her into a hug.

"Oh, I'm not finished with you yet, honey. Not after that comment you made," Khan grinned, tightening the hug so that his wife couldn't escape.

"Wait! Come on, Khan, it was a joke! It was only to distract you from the—Ahahahahaha! Nohohoho nohohot agahahahihin!"

Nori spent the next couple of minutes regretting ever making fun of Khan's doors.

Fin :)
