Work title:
Those eyes add insult to injury ( and it hurt’s so much)
Summary:
It seemed that Kronos, essentially, was a sore loser.
This conclusion became evident to Percy as he regained consciousness in the what seemed to be Greece. There stood an elegant woman, around his mother's age, in garments that were unfamiliar to Percy. She gazed down at him with concern and care. A man stood beside her, sharing her concern but with an air of wariness. His hand rested on what Percy presumed was his wife's shoulder, and his eyes seemed fixated on Percy's sword, which laying by him.
Percy's day turned worse as soon as the woman began to speak, "Young man, are you well? It appears you might be injured. Has there been another clash with the Trojans? Shall we get you to Lord Apollo's temple and to the healer within? The woman's gaze darted from Percy to her husband, whose brows creased in response.
At that moment, Percy yearned to obliterate Kronos once more.

What is your ideal Kakasaku (scenario/dynamic)? For example, for me it’s a comfort ship, so: post-war, Hokage Kakashi, (best)friends-to-lovers, drama-free (aka no scandals, no age gap woes, no jealousy, no dragged out misunderstandings, etc), BAMF/competent Sakura. The closest thing is probably Gravity by LindtLuirae (highly recommend it btw!)
Thank you for the rec, gotta check it!
For me it's definitely a decade into post-war. Sakura is either a single workaholic, or unhappily married (in this case, she was mistreated in her marriage, her attachments are finally completely gone and she's is hurt, angry and ready to break free from this traumatic experience). I like drama, so def need some aspect of this, I need my angst dose in every fic (:
I want Sakura to re-evaluate her life and find peace with Kakashi, making mistakes and sacrifices along the way. And same goes for Kakashi - he's troubled man and needs to accept his feels (but like an adult, not a teenager).

The Case Of The Mistaken Model by Ticklesivory
(Words: 21,516 Chapters: 14/14) Murder Mysteries, Film Noir Vibes, AU
There's been a murder and it's up to Private Investigator Ben Noble to figure out who killed a beautiful young fashion model.

An unfortunate woman named Padmé Amidala, who lives an overall hopeless life, comes across 9.9 million dollars and does whatever she can to keep it. Obi-Wan Kenobi, a former detective, tries to uncover the truth behind his brother's death. When they find themselves thrown together by the circumstances, the two of them will have to fight the monsters and darkness around them and inside them- as well as managing the building tension between them.
she sits comfortably in her beauty's summit in her garden by @wrennette
(Words:3870 Chapters:1/1) Arthurian Style AU, Knight!Obi, QueenConsort!Padmé, Mutual Pining, Courtly Love turns Romatic Love, HEA
When she comes to court to marry Prince Anakin, Padmé is at first certain that the King’s Sword does not like her. Ser Kenobi is cool and aloof from the start, his pale eyes flat as he looks her over. She is surprisingly stung by his lack of reaction. While she has long been lauded as a beauty, she had not thought herself vain.
Stick and Poke by @wickedscribbles (Words:7858 Chapters:1/1) Modern AU, TattooArtist!Padmé, Dominant!Padmé, slight D/s, Orgasm Denial, Begging, PiV Sex
Obi-Wan takes an interest in his artist after she helps him through a tough patch on his first tattoo. He doubts such a confident, good-looking young woman is single -- and if she is -- would she even be into him? Through a series of not-quite-orthodox events, he gets his answer.

Padmé Amidala is still trying to get over her breakup with Maul (two years ago now!) by distracting herself by dreaming about meeting her online gaming buddy in real life. He's shy, though, and the new guy at work has caught her eye...
Obi-Wan Kenobi just started a new job at a tech startup. He's busy at work and with trying not to let his raging crush on his coworker Padmé get the best of him, especially when he's been getting to know a girl online for months while gaming together. Padmé could never actually fall for him, though, because he's fat. Right?
tl;dr everyone finally figures out that they're all the same people online as in person and Ahsoka plays matchmaker. Padmé definitely doesn't mind that Obi-Wan is fat. (Personal Favorite!)

Time Raiders: Or, And Here You Were Thinking The Lost Tomb’s Wu Xie Was The Worst Case Scenario Gay Disaster
Coping with stress and deadlines=comfort shows…not 100% sure how this universe became my comfort shows but here we are.
We open with your usual “What the fuck” background wherein there’s a snake empress and her bae something something scheme and we meet our Zhang Qiling—we actually get to see the qilin that is contained?represented? In his sweetass tattoo before we get a brief history of Wu Xie as a prepubescent house-breaking disaster who achieves one (1) coin that Will Be Significant.
Zhang Qiling is a grumpy little fucker, not yet in his hoodie noir aesthetic stage but slightly more sociable here! if by sociable we mean he gets into fights during the usual Wu family “this will be easy peasy haha nothing to worry abt” pre-tomb raiding get-together, where he finally encounters bebe Wu Xie! Who is being an adorable pain in the ass getting in everyone’s way because after all it’s a day ending in y.
The precious deer himself, Lu Han, is our Wu Xie. I actually found myself really enjoying his portrayal—he just looks incredibly innocent and sweet, nonstop 🥺, with a mischievous little smile. Also, we get facets of Wu Xie’s personality established here that foreshadow how he will grow into the mess we all adore and facepalm over: his intelligence and curiosity outweigh silly things like “basic self preservation” and “not dangerous shit” and we get a glimpse of that dark humor. On the pingxie front, we see the origins of his immediate and relentless insistence on Getting To Know Zhang Qiling, aka the beginners guide to stalking someone.
Normal people: nice to meet you, how are you doing?
Wu Xie: *assigns Zhang Qiling a name, aims gun at his own face to test Zhang Qiling’s niceness, takes pictures of him every five minutes*
Zhang Qiling: hope this doesn’t awaken something in me—
Xiao Ge is thus clearly in crisis from the beginning where he is first to flirt (?????) by…cutting off Wu Xie’s necklace and then handing it back to him? Idk maybe this is second base for the Zhangs. Anyway it’s clear that he’s already like “isn’t there a cutie pie moppet club meeting that’s missing its president oh god I think he’s cute fuck fuck fuck”. The rest of Wu squad isn’t as fleshed out; Wu San Xing seems borderline competent, which is weird for the wine uncle, although Pan Zi is his usual perky BAMF self. We get Pangzi yayyy!! Albeit at first not on the pals side. Currently working for Hendrix, an old white man kinda explorer who watches from his high tech little lab. Also Pangzi def brought a microwave burrito to the tomb raid and he’s right—and frankly Ah Ning can do whatever she wants, she’s sexy and badass.
There’s also a strange moment where Zhang Qiling asks Wu Xie the question everyone in the audience, his entire family, god, tomb zombies etc have wondered: why are you, with your dark academia outfit and chipmunk charm, here on this trip? And we actually get a straight answer!! From WU XIE OF ALL PEOPLE. He’s trying to figure himself out as a person, he is incredibly curious, and he has peak bebe of the family energy in admitting that the more people tell him not to go, he wants to go. Although to begin with, his main role is nerding out and snapping pictures of everything while flirting with Zhang Qiling. Love that for him.
Meanwhile, Wu Xie is like 🥺what if…our first date was in this tomb?? And Zhang Qiling is like, I have no choice but to kiss you, I mean protect you, …and we get these big smiles and outright laughs from him??? Which isn’t the Xiao Ge I know, but for some reason I think it fits here with sheltered lil Doe-Eyes McDimple.
And then there are spontaneous tornadoes and something happening in outer space. Sure. Tbh at this point in this universe I’m not even surprised. Something something snake empress, something something key, etc. The tomb-raiding plot unfortunately interferes with what was shaping up to be a great first date for pingxie, and Wu Xie sets off a cool lighting system for what is undoubtedly the first and last time he will ever make a good decision in a tomb raid.
Sure enough, like two minutes later he plays with some little puppet musical instrument and the puppet’s eyes MOVE. Upsetting. And then the tomb trap fuckery commences—hallucinations, choreographed dance/escapes from swords, pingxie’s first dramatic “catch you in my arms” and Wu Xie participates in the long tradition of “twink plays the flute to ward off bad shit” Good times. I do like that we get a glimpse of how selfless Wu Xie is capable of being—he ends up on a collapsing floor and is all #pingxiepriorities and wants to get Zhang Qiling’s memories for him via camera instead of worrying abt his life. Classic xiaoge 🙁 and Wu Xie 💀 😍 situation
A summary of the peak action scene:
Time Raiders: there aren’t any snakes in this one
Me: oh whew what a nice break
Time Raiders: there are extremely aggressive worms
Me: what
Time Raiders: also a Venus fly trap woman
Me: …
Time Raiders: how about some steampunk type inventions? We got those too.

‘kay so for A Fable, Agreed Upon, I have done but not yet posted;
- Daphne piece
- Aftermath of the Trix getting illegally incarcerated, In Which A Thing Happens
- Selina being a good girl doing ritualistic animal sacrifice for Science (Magic)!
Which means the next chronological piece I want to work on is FUCKING FINALLY THE PIECE WHERE AISHA COMES IN OH MY FUCKING GOD
Which will also be the piece Valtor comes in at but as i have said before he is but a footnote and I’m def worried y’all have gotten your hopes up about him. Most canon villains are not gonna be big in this AU though looking back I think i mention all the like. moderately cool ones.
I’m just. Aisha, my darling. I have had PLANS for her introduction. Because she’s a BAMF! and deserves to be treated as such. She will bring up the “total number of heirs to the throne committing actual fucking treason against said thrones” count to a whopping three. Bloom isn’t counted bc her birth parents would actively encourage her committing treason and her adoptive parents do actively encourage her committing treason.
What I also want to do (still) that would take place prior to this shit is;
- Stormy learning about the witch trials
- everyone goes to earth for Halloween
- Helia + the boys
- Helia + Flora
- Flora + Mirta bonding
- Stella doing Princess Treason Shit (this will extend past Field Trip)
- Diaspro doing Princess Treason Shit (this will extend past Field Trip)
so. We’ll see what I can pump out.

I so agree with your post about JYL!! People can't have actually complex (and realistic! I as an older sister def relate more to JYL than WQ) women characters! I've found for a long time that the fandom already mischaracterizes her as being a Strong Badass in order to justify that she has a lot of I guess, stereotypical female traits (such as mediating conflict). And I think what's happening with the rise of JC critical fics is people realizing that JYL is not like.. WQ or black widow and then they need to find a reason to hate her. Idk if this makes a ton of sense to be perfectly honest I have had a few beers tonight T_T point is I love JYL with mt whole heart
progressive types ignoring the lack of complexity and narrative agency of female characters to instead obsess over whether they're physically capable and superficially 'badass' enough to be relevant is the bane of my existence, and also what i'm choosing to blame for the overabundance of women in media who have no inner lives but get hyped up as role models because they fight a bunch of dudes and do a power walk. jiang yanli being physically weak and mild mannered isn't inherently bad! it's her exclusion from the narrative and the lack of insight into her interior that make her a weak character, and a bamf!yanli is worthless if she's still relegated to Making Plot Happen.
but then some of these jiang critical fics try to fix that by just like... fabricating character flaws and interpersonal failings that weren't there before? and acting like we're supposed to hate her for it?? like yeah she made mistakes and ofc you're going to have to acknowledge them when examining wei wuxian's relationships w the jiangs but you can't act like she wasn't a net positive in wei wuxian's life and a consistent bright spot for him. she's the person he adored most beside lan wangji and that's for a good reason!

An interesting thing about reading nothing but approx 4000 Drarry fanfics is that there are really interesting patterns you notice that the fandom falls into beyond the normal Sectumsempra scar discussions or handshake reduxes. I’ve talked about it before, it’s my favorite part of binging a fandom’s offerings tbh, but I’ve added to my observations in the re-start:
-A LOT of people think Draco smells like citrus or bergamot. Harry usually smells like grass or broom polish but that varies so much there isn’t a real consensus for him but if I was to chart it (and oh boy was I tempted) the fandom is def on the same page in regards to Draco’s scent.
-For some reason a lot of fics mention how nice Draco’s feet are? Like, a huge amount. It just stood out to me because in my experience unless there is a canon related event or mention regarding an individual body part it’s rare for that to be a trend. I don’t know if this is just because he’s a Pureblood and people assume he’d have nicer feet or what? But there is a def feet related privilege at play.
-Another body part that seems to have consensus is that Draco has a lush and perky bum. Like, Harry gets a mention for the niceness of his derrière on occasion when it’s Draco POV but NOWHERE near the love that Draco’s ass does.
-Harry is almost always much shorter than Draco due to childhood malnutrition which totally tracks canonically, but this is SO prevalent that I only ran into <20 stories where they were of a height or Harry was taller (and a few were special creature fics)
-Is it really a Drarry fic if Draco isn’t in a waistcoat and Harry isn’t in a hoodie or ratty tshirt at some point?
-According to the fandom Draco has a severe oral fixation. He is always sucking or chewing on quills where Harry rarely is.
-This one is more of a comparison between another popular MLM ship (Victurri) but as far as smut goes ya’ll really love rimming.
-If Harry has read a book it’s probably The Once and Future King.
-As far as dicks go (what a phrase), Harry is almost always shorter and thicker whilst Draco is longer and thinner. Exceptions include specially Hung!Character fics where obviously there is an intentional discrepancy. I really appreciate the fairness and balance at play with this one.
-Aurors and Teachers are the standard professions unless the fic is specifically centered around a specialized profession.
-Harry will never own another owl again for like 98% of you. This might as well be canon.
-Why did we all decide Blaise is a total slut (no shame, get it you sexy side character)? I have no idea where this comes from as I don’t remember him being significantly oversexed in the text. But Blaise has fictionally banged more than any other character.
-There is a lot more love for Theo in the Dramione fandom than the Drarry one. Theo is hardly ever mentioned as a Slytherin sidekick for the Drarry side unless he’s weird or deranged/the antagonist. I find that fascinating for some reason.
-What did Dennis Creevey do to you all that he is always batshit murderous?
-We all agree that while Draco is a redeemable dick, Zacharias Smith cannot be salvaged. The fucker.
-Harry usually takes his tea without adulteration, Draco likes his sweet with milk. This is almost always true and they both def always know how the other takes it due to years of constant low key stalking on both sides. I do not make the rules you guys did.
-Harry either loves cooking because of his childhood or he fucking hates it. There is no inbetween.
-Lucius Malfoy has a 70% chance of going insane if he’s not revenge murdered at some point.
-Narcissa Malfoy is a BAMF and she will fucking end you if you look at her boys wrong. Politely.
-Albus Dumbledore is a piece of shit but you better believe he shipped the fuck out of Drarry.
-Luna doesn’t give a shit what year she’s canonically in she’s gonna be with the 8th years.
-Millicent names a current cat after Lord Voldemort.

Wot ep 7 thoughts (spoilers)
I knew we’d get less of Moiraine after last week’s episode but I def wanted more of her.  Rosemund Pike is a phenomenal actress and she brings such a calibre to the acting, so any episode with less of her is poorer for it imo. While the rest of the cast are great, no complaints, she honestly shines and - look - perhaps I’m biased, but I don’t think so.  I believe Rosemund Pike said this was her fave episode which I find perplexing because she’s off screen half the time but perhaps it’s because the core cast were back together again.   
I’m very curious to see how the Amyrlin Seat will be Moiraine’s downfall.  I immediately jumped to it meaning Siuan but that might not be the case given they’ve teased that Siuan and not the Amyrlin seat is who Moiraine bound her oath to.
While I’d hate it if she masked her bond and abandoned me if I were Lan, I get why she did it which shows how important he is to her, not just as a warder but a friend.  Her saying that she felt like she’d taken so much from Lan was both a goodbye and an explanation for her abandoning him. I liked that she made a point of saying that she likes Nynaeve.  It was calculated and manipulative, as we have seen her be many times already, because while he was having sexy times, she was legitimately able to mask their bond (because I’m sure she didn’t want to be a third wheel) and slip away with Rand.  Which was another calculated move on her behalf - to tell them exactly what the deal was, that those not the Dragon Reborn would die in an effort to shock the Dragon Reborn into figuring it out.  It worked. 
Between her savage mic drop moments in the last episode and her manipulations, she makes for an interesting character - she’s clearly doing the ‘right’ thing by being on this quest and we’ve seen that she is sacrificing everything to save the world, she’s ready to give up her very life, and she’ll use every available method at her disposable even if it’ not honourable.  She  even set the Red Ahja on Mat because, I’m assuming, that given the darkness in him, Dragon or not, he needs to be gentled. I honestly should dislike Moraine after listing all this out, but just like Rosemund managed to  make me like her in I Care Alot, she’s doing the same here again.  I think it’s her ability to emote with just a fleeting emotion across her face, to humanize her with her connections to Lan and Siuan. I appreciate her acting so much.
While I’m not all that invested in the other three, Nynaeve is growing on me as a character.  I found her so combative at first and I get she’s doing it to protect her friends (her channeling in the Ways was damn epic, she is bamf) but I appreciated seeing a softer side with her and Lan in this ep.  I knew they were going to happen both from the foreshadowing and getting a bit spoiled from the books and I felt more chemistry for them than in other episodes.  I really like Lan too, so I appreciated getting to hear his backstory.  He honestly handled Nynaeve so well, with her jealousy for Moiraine and their bond, so respect for him. 
Looking forward to the final episode next week (the season went by way too fast, this whole 10 eps in a season is not my fave)

WYRATE INCRDIBLE. Now I'm just thinking of when soc starts everyone's like "lil uselss merchers boy" nd wylans like ''BOAT BOAT BOAT!!!!!!" nd they're ll kind confused bout how competent he is sfdsfdzsf
inej is low key jealous when she finds out WYLAN was a pirate before her. they trade tips.
wylan becomes grishaverse trilogies charas honorary lil brother. the trumivate will fight for role of 2n best big sibling. nikolai watches on as chaos erupts firm in his role as best big sibling. for now
his hair will be ruffled
This is just so cute n such a concept!!! and image the reunion hed have with em all during ck.
Hell he may even know nina/ know of her.
and hed def be a better liar even more knowledgeable bout science. more knowledgeable bout grisha n how they're treated.
BAMF WYLAN!! Great snippet n concept love to read it!
ur writings n ideas re incredible as always!
Listen, Anon, you have a lot of excellent ideas here so I'm going to come back to this one, but let's get started...
It happened first on the Ferolind. Kaz needed a word with one of the men they’d brought along to help sail, since none of the six knew anything about it. He had some questions about approaching the shore—Kaz knew the canal boats. These were another matter.
“I understand, Kaz. I just need to finish splicing the line and—”
“I can do that.”
Kaz knew the kid was there, but hadn’t thought much about him. In general, Wylan wasn’t much use, but he knew how to stay out of the way. Kaz could appreciate that. Plenty of people should do more staying out of the way.
Scowling, Kaz turned to him. “It would take even longer to teach you.”
Wylan’s jaw set.
“No one needs to teach me. I can splice a line. How big is the eye?”
“Two feet, give or take,” said the one man here who knew what he was talking about.
“Give it here.”
He spoke with enough authority that the experienced sailor did. Or maybe he was just done with the argument. 
The first step in splicing a line appeared to be unraveling it, but Kaz wasn’t giving any points for destroying their transport. Still, he kept an eye on Wylan as he moved from unraveling to weaving, working the strands individually through the weave of the rope.
Kaz prolonged the conversation to keep watching. Finally, Wylan stopped weaving and rolled the rope under his foot.
“You better check his work,” Kaz said. Wylan gave him an indignant look, but Kaz only glared and he looked away again.
The sailor took the rope from Wylan, looked it over, gave the loop at the end a tug.
“Well done.”
Wylan looked almost delirious.
To Kaz, it was one more mystery. How did Jan Van Eck’s son come to learn a nautical skill? That wasn’t something university tutors generally specialized in. There was more to him than Kaz had previously expected.
Kaz frowned.
He didn’t like surprises.
***
It happened again in the prison laundry.
When they were planning their escape, Kaz had told Jesper, “Wylan may need help up the rope.”
Indignant, Wylan had replied, “I can climb a rope!”
“Climbing a rope is more than hauling your own weight, merchling,” Jesper replied. “It’s about balance and grip. If you aren’t careful—”
“I can climb,” Wylan repeated. Kaz thought he was stubborn, but remembered the spliced line and decided he might not be wrong.
Nonetheless, “Just be ready,” Kaz said, not taking anyone’s side.
But he arrived in the laundry room to find that Wylan had been right. He could climb a rope after all. He was turning from a surprise into a puzzle.
Kaz was starting to find him downright interesting.

2021 Fics!!!
woah. the writing was accomplished. I stopped posting them on here, but here they are, in all their glory, less than 2 hours before 2022, ft. my commentary!
(I had some user name difficulties so some of these are under the psuedo name skeltontown while others are under beartown)
happy new year <|:)
I will survive, keep on surviving
Niki knows war. She has seen what it has done to Wilbur, to Tommy, to Tubbo. To her home
Niki knows what government has done. She sees how it corrupts people and destroys happy endings.
Niki watches war. Again, and again, and again until finally, she can't watch anymore. She picks up a blade and she learns to fight. She watches over L'Manburg and wishes she could set it on fire.
Or: The one where Niki teams with Tommy and Techno in the new plot to destroy L'Manburg
One of my favorite things I've written this year, I wrote it in one sitting fueled my nothing but spite and post-lore stream adrenaline. Also, I totally called the Niki + Techno Team up
Midnight Campfires
Lots of people think they knew Wilbur Soot. They knew the revolutionary, the president, the terrorist, the dead man. But only 2 people knew the real Wilbur Soot, the man who was a mix of all his titles and so much more. Nihachu and Tommyinnit. And now Wilbur was gone and Tommy and Niki are left to pick up the pieces.
(this isn’t “canon” but “canon” can pry Tommy, Niki, and Techno found family from my cold dead hands)
Sequel to I will Survive, Keep on Surviving.
Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman
"Why don't you just stick to being friendly neighborhood spiderman?"
People say that like it's easy. Like Peter doesn't deal with the darkest things on the street. When there are no aliens, just people who are hurt. The Avengers have movie nights in their tower and come out every 2 years for the next Alien threat. Peter talks people down from jumping off buildings. Peter works twice as hard and is always told he's not working hard enough Peter's tired, he's burned out and more than anything else he just wants some fucking respect
OR: the one where Tony realizes what a BAMF Peter is and Peter learns to tell the adults in his life what he needs
I have so many thoughts about Peter Peter Parker and have had them for years and IT SHOWS in this fics. One of my favorite things I've written. I swear I will get around to writing the second part but the first chapter def stands on it's own as a one-shot
Eyes to The Sky
Tommy wakes up and he knows it's going to be a bad day. His scars sting and Tommy feels a million blocks away. He wants to do anything but visit Dream. He has to though because he told Dream he would and if Tommy doesn't show up Dream will know just how weak he is. Dream will have won if Tommy can't face him. Sam and Puffy help him realize that he's already beaten Dream.
OR: the one where Tommy finally gets some decent adults in his life
Another post lore writing binge that somehow blew up. Humor + Angst is my favorite combo
Montgomery forever
And a long time ago, I promised that if you were happy, then I was happy. Nothing else to talk about.
Niki should kill Tommy.
She's planned it for weeks, she's standing over Tommy's sleeping body with a knife, this is her chance.
“Nice night for a murder,” Wilbur says.
Niki has no idea how he got in here. She thinks she might be going insane.
OR: on the night Niki plans to kill Tommy, Wilbur shows up too. It's complicated
I am forever thinking about C!Niki's relationship and C!Wilbur's relationship and forever angry at the shippers for making them feel uncomfortable streaming together
there is very little left of me and it's never coming back
“Could you stop that?” Dream snapped.
“No,” Tommy snarled, “No I don’t think I will,”
Tommy tapped the wall harder. Dream might have all of the control-Tommy was resigned to that. He knew that Dream’s secrets were stronger than he was, he wasn’t naive. But he could still make Dream angry. Show Dream, shows Wilbur, he wasn’t completely beaten down. (Even if every time he closed his eyes he could feel Dream hitting and hitting until everything felt like it was on fire)
“That’s it,” Dream said. Tommy braces himself for the hit. It doesn’t come. Instead, Dream says, “I’m getting Sam, I can’t fucking take this anymore,”
OR: after Dream brings Tommy back to life, Tommy finally gets to leave Pandora's box. It's not the happy ending Sam hoped it would be
Yet another post stream adrenaline fic and yet another fic titled after a front bottom's song. Dream SMP lore streams had me in a motivation chokehold like nothing else
once you looked at me the same way you're looking at him
Tommy hates a lot.
He hates the way Tubbo looks at him like he's not real. He hates the way Tubbo stands by Ranboo's side instead of his and he hates how Tubbo got married while Tommy was going through hell. He hates Ranboo for taking his best friend away and he hates himself for not being there to stop it. He hates the fact that he never gets a break and he hates the way his hands won't stop shaking.
Tommy gets out of prison. It's time he and Tubbo talked.
yeah, this one was fun to write. friendship is so fun to write. cathartic screaming is so fun to write
you were only seventeen
“You remember when we went to the movies?” She whispers, “And those guys from school, complete jerks who stole your lunch came up to us. And you stood in front of me, ready to protect me,”
“The kids were twice your size, and you were ready to fight all three of them. Just for me. They ran away pretty quick when I started scolding them. We got way too much popcorn and you covered my eyes when the characters started kissing, Mark, it was ridiculous.”
No reply.
“I wish your dad was like those bullies,” She says, knees pulled around her chest, “I wish I could tell him to leave you alone and he would,”
She wants to kill him. It’s a horrible, awful thought. Debbie’s never wanted to murder anyone. But Nolan fooled her. He was her best friend, her husband, he was Omni-man and she was his pet. He tried to kill her son. She can’t even do anything about it. It never bothered her that Nolan could snap her right in half. She didn't think Nolan would snap anyone in half. Until he did.
The heart monitor keeps beeping.
OR: Debbie and Mark, after Nolan leaves
IMO this is one of my most underrated fics(probably b/c of the fandom size) but seriously I am so proud of this one. Invincible was such a fun universe to play in.
I still wanna be your favorite boy
“Let’s say,” Kaz said, looking Jesper dead in the eyes. He would not show weakness. “Hypothetically. If I wanted to take Inej on a date...what would I do?”
A wide grin broke across Jesper’s face and suddenly, Kaz realized his mistake.
“Wylan are you hearing this?” Jesper whispered, “Kaz Brekker is asking me for love advice.”
“It’s hypothetical love advice.”
“Sure,” Jesper said.
OR: Kaz asks Inej out on a date. It doesn't go quite as expected.
Kanej is such a good ship. Pining, lovesick Kaz is the most fun to write.

As a child, Caitlyn's mother always told her she couldn't take no for an answer.

writing women in love is the best thing. Cait and Vi own my gay self and Arcane is incredible

Reasons why I ship Tomione:
1. Intelligence. Yes, okay, this plays a big part in it. I think that if Hermione had been born in the same year as Tom and been in the same year at Hogwarts, she would’ve been too fucking neurotic to let him best her in classes. I think she’d go a little insane to beat him. I could imagine Hermione physically fighting Tom out of sheer frustration because he keeps beating her in classes. And at first, I don’t think Tom would pay too much attention to Hermione. Until she actually beats him. And then i think he’d hate her back. And then we get an enemies to lovers because I truly don’t think Tom could be with anyone who couldn’t at least somewhat match him in intelligence and thirst for knowledge and Hermione is similar in my opinion. 
2. I love the dynamic of Hermione being one of the only students able to keep up with Tom and yet being the opposite of what he thinks a talented witch is. Because Hermione is muggleborn and she breaks through those stereotypes like a bulldozer and I like to see Tom be proven wrong. 
3. Hermione has a dark side and I think when you combine that with her level of intelligence, it would intrigue Tom enough to be curious about her. 
4. While the two would clash in a lot of ways, I could also see them tempering each other too. Tom would teach Hermione to think outside the box and not be so focused on what’s written in books. I think Hermione would remind Tom of practicalities and would help staple him in more...ethical...methods of doing things. (I def don’t think Hermione could make Tom good though.)
5. So I would consider Tom ‘psychopathic’ (though take that with a grain of salt cause remember this is a fictional character) and the interesting thing about psychopaths is they can feel empathy, respect, even love for other people but it’s very exclusive. I don’t think Tom sees people as well, people. They are less than him in his eyes. In order for a psychopathic individual to feel empathy and respect for another person, they have to see them as ‘worthy’ in some form or way. I think under certain circumstances, Hermione could’ve been one of those people. 
6. I like to see a BAMF female character put a psychopathic villain in his place, and I especially love it if there’s sexual tension involved. *shrugs* Sue me. 
7. I like the clashing of good and evil. Hermione is similar to Voldemort in ways that Harry isn’t but is also the antithesis of him too.

So I started reading Manhwas after Kdramas, and I wanted to make a list as well.
I absolutely love Isekai themed Manhwas - specially historical, time travel and villainess themed. Most of them are based on a web novel but I could not find the novels per se so I read them as Manhwa at Manganelo Site
So here goes the list, I will input few at a time as I am rereading them again.
Warning: Unedited. I’m sorry if I mispell or has grammar lapses. Unabashed fangirling at times.  ALSO SPOILERS. IMMA GIVE OUT A FEW.
Inso's Law - Ongoing (Chapters: 81)
What made me read it: I found the earphone scene in Instagram and I instantly fell in love with Chunyoung. I mean I have this weakness with Black Haired characters. When I read the plot, I knew my tween heart will absolutely love this. The Main Character (Dan-I) woke up to a romance novel/parallel world where in she was friends with these very popular kids (I still can't believe they were 14 at the start). She did not want to be center of attention or to have any relations with the Female Lead and her reverse harem, but come on no one can resist those guys and their pretty faces and weird colored hair. The storyline may be a bit overused but my teenage self is very happy. 10/10
Is it visually pretty: YES. Everyone is pretty. This manhwa is also memeworthy. May not be as aesthetically pleasing as WMMAP but still 10/10
How much do I love the characters: I love Dan-I's internal monologue but hate how she sees herself as just the minor character, everyone adores her! Yeoryoung is the best friend you'll absolutely adore. Ju-In is adorbs. Chunyoung is LOVE. I love Jiho and Eunhyung too but Chunyoung is my ML. Ruda and Yeodan though *swoon* Other side characters are awesome too, but too much characters makes me forget a lot of em. Haha 10/10
Favorite part of the story: I LOVE their friendship so eveytime they show how much Dan-I is important too, all those text messages (especially Ju-In's HAHAHAHA text), Chunyoung is my fave so everytime he is in it I mean damn him and his beautiful hair, enchanting eyes and that smile *faints*, everytime Dan-I state one of every web novel laws, everytime Dan-I breaks the fourth wall and say how bullshit the story is hahahaha
Am I going to reread it again: Yes will do again and again
How do I describe thee: This was my first Manhwa! I'm a sucker for high school setting kind of stories. I really like it, makes me nostalgic of times I spent reading stories back in high school. I admit I was one of those teenagers who fell for the trope of being normal then every guy suddenly likes you *reverse harem for the win* but seriously this manhwa is one of my personal fave for being close to my tween heart. I really thought Dan-I was on a parallel world rather than a web novel as she did not got isekai'd to another person, she's still herself and it's still her family - it was like fanfiction of her own life. I like all characters eventhough, yes it's bullshit to have those kinds of friends (come on! A chaebol, a model in one group of friends in a normal highschool?) It's typical, it' cliche I know but their friendship is really #goals. When I first read this I was really cheering on Chunyoung to be ML, but when I read spoilers that Jiho will be the ML I thought whaaaat I shipped Jiho with Yeoryeoung. Then when I reread it I did saw how subtle his love was and it's really cute. I was really focused on Chunyoung since he has a lot of screen time showing off his affections but Jiho did too on the littlest of things you will see. Well, I'll wait for his time to shine. I just hope Dan-I finally notice them. And I want to know how she will be explaining to them her situation and how everything will be resolved - will she be going back to reality? *that's gonna suck* Also can I have Yeodan instead? Thanks. 10/10
Who Made Me A Princess - Ongoing (Chapters: 81)
What made me read it: I keep seeing screenshots of Athy's various expressions on the comments in manhwas so I searched for it. The plot is interesting, and as mentioned I absolutely love Isekai theme. But this is not romance (mostly), the story focuses on the dynamics of a father and daughter relationship. The main character was reborn as a character on a novel she was reading, Athanasia - the princess who was executed by her father. Knowing what will happen to her when she turns 18, she plans on saving herself. She changes the course of the story in order to survive. 10/10
Is it visually pretty: YES. JESUS CHRIST HAVE YOU SEEN DADDY CLAUDE. INSANE VISUALS. I mean the way the artist drew everything is pleasing to my eye. BUT ALL CHARACTERS ARE HOT. 100/10
How much do I love the characters: ONE MUST PROTECT ATHY FOREVER. Daddy Claude breaks my heart. LILY AND FELIX ARE THE CAPTAINS OF MY SHIP. Lucas is love. Can't help falling in love with Ijekiel/Ezekiel. I adore Jennette. DIANA AND LP'S ATHANASIA ARE DEAD BUT THEY DESERVE BETTER. Anastacius you evil motherfucker, I like you too. 100/10
Favorite part of the story: Every Athy expression. Tea time with Daddy Claude and Felix. When Lily is overprotective. Athy's debutante ball. All the boat scenes are gold. Everytime Claude shows how much he adores Athy even when he's supposed to hate her. When he picks her up and when he shows emotions. When Claude and Felix bickers. When Lucas teases Athy. Best boi Ijekiel/Ezekiel when he shows how much he likes Athy. Adorable Jennette and how she yearns for family.
Am I going to reread it again: Yes and No. Probably up to Chapter 45, I don't think my heart can take after that. Maybe when the manhwa is finished.
How do I describe thee: I AM EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED. When I first read this I stopped at Chapter 38,  I read another Manhwa and actually forgot about it but decided to reread again after. I thought this will be a funny, heartwarming story of how a daughter earns her father's love. OH BOY GET READY FOR FEELINGS. I love Athy so much, she just wanted to survive the story, but she was loved, she was finally happy. Claude was like fuck feelings but can't help but adore Athy. I love their relationship so much. It physically pained me after Claude loses his memory - BRING BACK THE FUNNY CHAPTERS. I cannot read that scene in Claude's birthday ever again without bawling. I like Jennette, I really do, but I hate how everytime Claude has headaches (especially when with Athy) he calls for Jennette. It hurts me the way it hurts Athy like I was the one being betrayed. I hate how what's happened to LP Athanasia might still happen ro present Athanasia and it will def break me. I hate Anastacius for being an evil bastard that he is but I hope his growing love for Jennette will be his redemption. This was the first time I did not care for the romance or love triangles (Lucas and Ezekiel/Ijekiel are still precious bbys). Still 1000/10 will recommend even if it's not yet finished. I just want everyone to have a happy ending. Also for my LilyxFelix ship to sail. Thanks. If you have spoilers, gimme.
The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion - Ongoing (Chapters: 133)
What made me read it: It was on one of the recommended list and it caught my eye due to the title like pfft how very specific. It's Isekai so I know I'll love it. The Main Character got pushed (literally) into a novel wherein she got the role of Raeliana - a minor character whose death is the catalyst for the story to start. And of course our MC will not follow through the storyline and make her own destiny and survive. She ended up asking for the duke's (Noah, my love) help and became his fiancee, thus starting a butterfly effect for this manhwa's awesome story and twists. 100/10
Is it visually pretty: Definitely, everyone is absolutely pretty and the art is great. Not as insane as WMMAP but I got a lot of meme material. 10/10
How much do I love the characters: Raeliana is def one of top female lead for me, she's bad ass and not as dense as others. Noah, my love, is perfect. Even his brother that I could not remember his name because it's hard to spell. Naomi though is hilarious. Raeliana's family especially her mother. JUSTIN. GRANDPAAAA. SIR ADAM - NUFF SAID. No to Beabitch though but that says something for being villain. 100/10
Favorite part of the story: Chapter 130 hehehehe. Everytime Raeliana is BAMF who saves herself, everytime Noah flirts with her, Sir Adam and his aloofness and chibi self, the emperor's 40% playing pranks, Naomi and the emperor's bickering - which by the way ship it, when Noah confessed, when Raeliana confessed my heart could not take it, ALL THE TWISTS
Am I going to reread it again: YESSSS 100%
How do I describe thee: One of the God-Tier level Manhwa, I read because of Isekai I stayed because of the twist of that Isekai which is freaking mindblowing. Raeliana sets the standard for Female Leads, damn girl needs no man to save her shit. I LOVE HER. I LOVE THIS MANHWA SO MUCH. Noah is just perfect for her like it was really *winks* destined for them to be together. I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING. I love everyone, except that bitch. Also this was a first for me to have the MC admitting they were isekai'd to a novel and realizing her feelings and his feelings and accepting it and I just asdfghjkldfdfse 10000/10 READ THIS AND FALL IN LOVE WITH SIR ADAM WITH ME.
Living As The Tyrant's Older Sister - Ongoing (Chapters: 73)
What made me read it: The meme (you know the one - K.O), if you haven't noticed yet I am a collector of Isekai Manhwa. But this one def made me laugh at all chapters. We have your Main Character being thrown into a web novel (a novel her sister wrote btw) where she play as the Emperor's older sister - Alicia. She knows how the story goes (same old same old where she will eventually die) because she was her sister's consultant regarding the storyline and now regretting how she suggested to change the male lead. As always she devised a plan to stay as a minor character and survive but ended up sleeping with the main lead - Ares. 10/10
Is it visually pretty: Not a masterpiece but definitely meme material, all the screenshots I have stored are all memes from this manhwa 8/10
How much do I love the characters: Alicia is hilarious badmouthing bamf, very pretty very memeworthy. Ares could work on his personality a bit more but when they are together they're comical. Her brother is a typical tsundere and a fanboy. Lancelot is your typical nice guy. THAT BUTLER THOUGH BEST WINGMAN. 9/10
Favorite part of the story: Every meme hahahaha just read it this manhwa is the embodiment of a meme
Am I going to reread it again: Yes whenever I need a laugh ahhahaha
How do I describe thee: I AM WHEEZING. This truly is a comedic manhwa. You can't take it seriously because of the way it was drawn. If you really want a laugh this one's perfect. At times it is cringy when it exag a bit of their reactions but still 100% you will laugh. Not perfect but story is good, I like how it's still given a thought. But read it for the memes you won't regret it. 9/10
Survive as the Hero's Wife - Ongoing (Chapters: 79)
What made me read it: It's on the recommended list and someone mentioned that the art is *immaculate* and it is. IT REALLY IS. Well here comes another Isekai manhwa where the MC is pulled inside a novel where her character will be killed. But this time she was a minor villain character and the Male Lead's wife! 10/10 who are we kidding, I love em all.
Is it visually pretty: this manhwa is a work of art, it is *chefs kiss* visual explosion. Everyone is insanely hot, even the villains. The background, the characters - their hair and wardrobe is truly 1000000/10
How much do I love the characters: I really did fell in love with Canaria and Cesar. Best soft couple. Their luscious hair though so pretty. Noah best boi. Best team of suspicious knights - Miller, Raya, Jax and Ethan are loves. Best friend Ricardo. Even best butler Oscar. 100/10
Favorite part of the story: The visual explosion. Chos. When Canaria is being supportive waifu and Cesar is being an innocent best boy, they are just very soft and loving and I love their scenes so much, that popularity vote in the consort's palace ahhahaha, Jax and his misunderstanding, Ethan everytime he eats (all the time), Cesar's blushing face, everytime we are introduced to a new character because we know they are going to be gorgeous as hell.
Am I going to reread it again: MOST DEF ITS VERY PLEASING TO THE EYE
How do I describe thee: BEAUTIFUL. GORGEOUS. ENCHANTING. Boy, the visual is absolute masterpiece, Canaria's hair alone (love all her hairstyles) and her clothes, I want all of em. Cesar is the embodiment of a perfect male lead - soft boi. Best boi. Pretty boi. I love how he loves Canaria and how they truly support each other since being married at freaking 12 years old. This type of love please.  1000/10 Also, I am a lot curious about that Oscar,I think he is related to the emperor and the lady ghost in Noah's story - a lovechild? *gasps*. Also-Also if you will be reading this at Manganelo, translation at Chapter 76+ is a bit off but still grateful for the translators for what they give
Up next: It’s villain themed time (The villainess lives twice, beware of the villainess the villainess reverses the hour etc)
