more things about the livestream experience before i go completely insane.
(warning: this is going to be a long one)
1: why is [bishop] lisden's favorite song mulberry street and why is [bishop] sacarver's favorite (if i remember) the outside or stressed out....i just want to throw that out there
2: i absolutely adore the piano spread whatever thing tyler does before he goes and raps to migrane. i dont know what its called but when he runs his hand across the piano, it was good. how did he make it sound so good and musical...
3: why is the shy away livestream version the only livestream version that is on their official "the story" playlist??? i keep thinking about that (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3roRV3JHZzaU_kQ4-7uv-ahPbFabFmRW)
4: also thinking about how they cut off holding onto you before the outro. basically all there was of holding onto you was the "entertain my faith" part...thinking about the lore THERE. how a "good day dema" ad cut off the ending as well then they talk about how happy they are !! then how it goes to mulberry street after dan LISDEN says its his favorite then how it goes so blurry BEFORE THE AD??? ----"entertain my faith" sounds something like he..wants more from the religion but they cut him off from continuing the rest of holding onto you..like he got in trouble or something? i dont know man
5: "dema is bringing you this music collection that is vibrant with saturation"... "dema wants you to enjoy this collection"..."i just felt trapped before having this collection" ... "contentment"...."now that youve heard some of this collection you must be just like us, completely saturated"..."sometimes i close my eyes to try to escape...you know you cant escape sally...yes i know!" PROPAGANDA
6: why is he holding and grabbing his head so much. past the literal deadpan ass stare hes got through the majority if not all of the experience (like even while doing his little dances you'd think he'd be smiling during...), why does he grip his head so often-- i talked about this before but like what are they doing to him man he like grips his head in almost pain so much
7: also thinking about what the lore implications of jenna and debby being in this...because im pretty sure its shown jenna in levitate is a bandito i only assume debby was one too. why are they there?? were they caught too? or did dema make clones of them to use against josh and tyler?
8: "i cant wait to see you again"
9: ”in a world where this is as good as it gets…we miss you. we really do.”
10: also can we discuss the "CONTROLLED by" dma org and good day dema??? this photo is blurry as hell but CONTROLLED BY! not PRODUCTION OF! specific word choice..also dma org...dmaorg.info...why are clancy's letters posted on a website thats directly correlated with dema...letters from his time inside as well as time outside...can we like talk about that--like other than the obvious showcase that they have his letters and are using them to lie to the people, why are they going through dmaorg?? if clancy isnt directly with dema why are they--why are they going through there???
Tumblr media
11: the whole cutscene before lane boy "there was a wonderful structure to the city that put my cares to rest and the responsibilities of the day seemed to be accomplished with minimal effort. once a task was taught and understood, our obligations timely, and it felt secure knowing tomorrows duties would be accomplished with the same efficiency. we all worked to represent our bishop with honor knew that each inhabitant of our region had a like-minded dedication to consistency....why do i kneel to these concepts? tempted by control, control by temptation. stay low, they say. stay low," then the direct contradiction of the redecorate rap he inserts, “with the bells and the whistles scaled back like an isolated track, and he feels trapped when he's not inebriated fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week. he might have made it if he lived on a different street. i repeat, scaled back and isolated he says he likes an open schedule but he mostly hates it if you're running to his room, take a breath before you break-in put your ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?” using clancy's letters to show praise to dema then clancy (tyler) directly contradicting being like "no i hold zero praise for this city" and saying how hes isolated and sedated when hes not preforming--how he ALMOST made it out. how if he lived A LITTLE closer to the walls he wouldnt be there right now-
12: the way the old songs are "SCALED BACK AND ISOLATED" ???? A SCALED BACK AND ISOLATED TRACK????
13: the way ned is missing in chlorine when he was such a big part of chlorine
14: AGAIN this shy away version. one-why is it so important to the story, two-the 9 chairs for 9 bishops around the table, three-i fucking love the guitarist by josh i love his energy, four-THE WAY HE BREAKS A GLASS WHEN TALKING ABOUT BREAKING THE CYCLE IN HALF???, THE SCREAM !!!! so many things
[so many things you guys]
15: the fucking bishop ass dancers to stressed out....can we discuss that too. ALSO HOW THEY DRAG HIM TO THE NEXT STAGE FOR STRESSED OUT?
16: "but remember you should- *cut off*" YOU SHOULD WHAT SALLY SACARVER????
17: also firstly, how beautiful the ukulele part was...it was so gorgeous, also the transition was amazing. though past that, can we talk about how fucking sad he looked on that little boat with his uke? was that a mock to his escape attempts? to him singing to an empty sky in trench? singing to the banditos as they boat someplace safer? like...
18: THE MOCKING OF THE BANDITOS WITH THE FUCKING JUMPSUIT/HEAVYDIRTYSOULD PART?? why would dema do that? why would the bishops actively make josh and tyler look like the banditos if it wasn't just a mock? they dont like the banditos i thought why would they have them dressed up like that? like torchbearer bringing the torch to the stage and the look josh has on his face-then tyler also being in a bandito outfit. like--it has to be mocking his attempts. mocking the banditos or SOMETHING
19: heathens being in the livestream makes me think a little too but i dont know. "all my friends are heathens take it slow, wait for them to ask you who you know. please dont make any sudden moves you dont know half of the abuse."
20: also first, what was that alarm that was sounded before never take it? what happened there? second, the lore people have posted about never take it and how it was about the bishops? the way it was played while the alarm was going off and it was almost messier filming...
21: HIM ENDING THE LIVESTREAM WITH "nobody's coming for me" and his deadpan look (sobbing)
22: again, bringing up sally sacarver and dan lisden. sacarver and lisden being bishop's names and hosting this livestream. then showing directly how the bodies they are controlling are deteriorating as the show goes on. "The rules are that you can only seize or control a dead body, and only for a short while."
23: also just the heavydirtysoul part. starting to think about the: "I tricked Nico into taking me outside the walls. I created a fiery diversion. I escaped." i just keep thinking about that and:
Tumblr media
24: "we've come for you, we've got people on the way, no chances, none at all" the way this is direct quotes from dan and sally, who are bishops, and it is also direct lyrics (or close to direct lyrics) from no chances. it just keeps cementing itself on everything ive already thought about
25: past just the livestream experience what is with josh and the bucket hat lol. i love it but like.-
26: "you ask me if its real, i see your shifting eyes, you dig in your heels, i dig my hole to die" also wondering why the "live from the outside" version is here rather than the original.-is it important
27: his little dances are my favorite thing-
28: CAR RADIO...car radio. thats it thats the point. just the car radio part is everything to me--its giving old car radio performances and im living for it. though also old car radio performances? did they put it together like that on purpose?
29: NEVER TAKE IT HAVING A BURNING CAR HOLY SHIT FIREY DIVERSION? LMAO just how close he is to the camera during this too...so many thoughts
30: "...you know you cant escape sally...yes i know!" IS THIS LIVESTREAM SHOWING CLANCY AND HOW HE DIDN'T ESCAPE EITHER?? SHOWING THAT HE HAS BEEN CAUGHT AND IF HE CANT ESCAPE, THE NOTORIOUS CLANCY, THEN YOU CANT EITHER???! SO MANY THOUGHT!!
[sorry for how long this is-]
DID THIS SHOW HOW MANY THOUGHTS I HAVE HERE. im going insane like i keep thinking about the lore implications of this goddamn livestream. i have more points (i will make a essay list whatever for it all so i don't go any crazier) but this is already a lot for one post. just wanted to like...throw this out there. i know some might be a stretch but please just hear me out. just hear me out :,)

Right Here With Me
Tumblr media
Request: hi! :) i feel like #19 on your recent prompt list would really fit to seventeen’s hhu, specifically to mingyu or seungcheol.. i adore your writing, thank you for putting in so much effort 💌
Prompt:
19) Taking care of your tipsy bias.
Pairing: Seventeen S.Coups x Reader
Genre: Fluff
.
You jumped as Seungcheol slammed his hand on the table. "Sing with me."
You blinked up at him in surprise. He was shimmying from side to side with the karaoke mic in hand.
"Coups," you sighed, crossing your arms. "We really need to get you guys back home."
"Noooo," he pouted, now his turn to cross his arms. "It's so lonely at home. Here is the opposite of whatever lonely is."
You looked across the table to Vernon who seemed to be thinking over the antonym of "lonely." Turning your eyes to Wonwoo for help instead, he gave a small shrug before taking a long sip of his water. To his benefit, he had been about as many drinks in as the rest of the guys but had chosen to hydrate about an hour ago.
"Come oooon, Y/N," Mingyu cooed, swaying behind Coups with the other microphone. "One more song!"
"One more song!" Coups chanted. "One more song!"
It wasn't long before Vernon and Mingyu had joined the chorus. With their shouting still in the background, Seungcheol stepped toward you and reached out to play with a lock of your hair. His eyes were half lidded and his plush lips pulled up at one side. "Come on, baby."
Closing your eyes, you sighed. "Coups."
Plopping on the bench beside you, he coaxed you into his side, and placed a wet kiss on your temple. "Pretty please? I love you soooo much. Why won't you love me?"
"Why is it that he always feels it pertinent to confess to you when he's drunk?" Wonwoo muttered as he watched with lifted brows.
"I don't know," you hissed, fighting your way out of Seungcheol's arms. "And what does me loving you have to do with you singing another song?"
"Everything," he said with a stubborn nod.
Wonwoo wasn't wrong. This was often Seungcheol's MO. You were best friends, even closer than that even. He was like a limb at this point. If you lost him, you wouldn't know how to function. That being said, the two of you had never explored a romantic relationship. You were mostly afraid of ruining your friendship, and he seemed to only think about it when he was intoxicated.
"He's so going to regret this in the morning," Vernon cackled, falling back into his seat.
"If you loved me, you'd let me sing one more song," Coups whined. "I'll even sing OUR song."
"We have a song?" you muttered. "Since when do we have a song?"
"Since," Coups hiccuped. "I heard it and thought of you."
"That's hardly "our" song then." You couldn't help but chuckle, plus, you were very curious to hear what Coups thought of as "your song."
"Pleaaaase," he begged. Sticking out his bottom lip, he gave you puppy dog eyes.
"Fine," you gasped. "One more song and then I walk you home!"
An award-winning smile took over Seungcheol's face as he sprung up and toward the karaoke machine. Flipping feverishly through his options, he finally seemed to find what he was looking for. Spinning around, he pointed a finger at you.
"This is for you, Y/N," he said in a low voice. You weren't sure if he was trying to be sexy or funny.
"Oh, this is going to be good," Wonwoo chuckled, pivoting himself to get a better look at the front of the room. Vernon already had his phone out and set to record.
You took a deep breath as you heard the intro to the song. Surely this wasn't what you thought this was.
"I've been drinking, I've been drinking," he crooned. "I get filthy when that liquor get into me - I've been thinking, I've been thinking..."
"Holy shit," Vernon hissed in between laughs. "This is the best day of my entire life."
You wished you were a turtle. If you had a shell, you would have something to crawl into and die. What was he doing?
"WE BE ALL NIGHT! LOOOOOOVE! LOOOOOOVE!" Seungcheol and Mingyu screeched at the top of their lungs as they began to grind their hips into the air.
"Well," Wonwoo said with a wince as he stood from the table. "That's enough of that."
Taking the few steps to cross the room, he tapped gingerly on the karaoke tablet. Within seconds, the music turned off, and the boys were left screaming in the open air.
"Yah!" Coups gasped, after he realized. "What did you do that for?"
"Everyone, I did that for everyone," Wonwoo muttered, gathering his things. "We have an early schedule tomorrow. Let's get moving."
You never had feelings for Wonwoo, but you could honestly kiss him right now.
"You heard him!" you yelled, pulling yourself to your feet as well. "Let's get moving!"
..
"Why didn't you like my song?" Seungcheol hiccupped. You were easing him up the steps to his apartment, holding nearly all of his body weight in the process.
"I liked your song just fine," you cringed, another flight of stairs behind you.
"You looked miserable," he pouted. "Why don't you ever take my confessions seriously, Y/N?"
"Because you don't take your confessions seriously," you muttered. Furrowing your brow, you counted the numbers on the apartment doors until you found his. "What's your code this week?"
"I can't tell you," he slurred. "It's a se-se-secret."
Pinching the bridge of your nose, you fluttered your hand toward the door. "Type it in then."
Seungcheol hiccupped again before slumping in the direction of the doorframe. Cupping his hand around the keypad, he eyed you suspiciously. "This is for my safety."
"I know, Cheolie," you laughed. "I'm not arguing with you."
Glancing back to the keypad, he stumbled back a bit. Catching him by the shoulders, you waited for the door to unlock.
"Why are there so many numbers?" Coups sighed, leaning against the door again and poking at the lock. "Three two's? Which two is the right two?"
"Let me try," you hummed. "Can you tell me what your code is?"
"My manager said not to tell anyone. Not even my mom."
"And you can change it as soon as I leave," you sighed. "If we can't get in, you're sleeping on the door mat tonight. And that's not very safe, is it?"
"Why can't I stay with you?" he asked, his eyes brightening with the sudden idea.
"Because I am not hauling you downstairs again and then another three blocks," you grumbled. "The code, please Coups."
"I like it when you call me Cheolie," he pouted.
"Cheolie, my sweet bean," you said, trying to contain your exhaustion. "Will you please tell me the code?"
"Mmm," he hummed, wrapping his arms around your waist and nuzzling into your neck. "Is my birthday."
"Shocker," you breathed, rapidly typing in the lock code. The door made a small buzzing sound before chiming that you could enter.
Stumbling into his apartment, you flipped on the lights and popped off your shoes before heading to the kitchen. Seungcheol, on the other hand, toppled to the floor and began yanking at his shoes.
Scanning the cabinets, you found his most spill-proof tumbler and filled it with ice water. Judging by the muffled sounds of frustration in the entryway, he was still taking off his sneakers.
Turning the corner, you could only sigh. He looked like a toddler sorely in need of a nap. "They won't come off," he said quietly before looking up at you.
"Here," you said, handing him the water bottle. "Drink."
Doing as he was told, he gripped the bottle with both hands, and leaned back against the wall. You crouched down, making quick work of his shoelaces before you managed to finally free him.
"Let's get you to bed," you murmured, motioning for him to take your hand. He slid his palm into yours before easing himself up.
"How could I go from feeling so good to feeling so awful?" he muttered.
"Funny how alcohol will do that," you chuckled, walking with him to his bedroom. "Arms up."
Setting his drink on his desk, he lifted his arms into the air and allowed you to pull his hoodie from his torso. Losing balance after the motion, he toppled onto the mattress, pulling you with him.
"Hey!" you groaned, immediately trying to separate yourself.
"Stay with me," he said softly, tangling his arms and legs around you. "Please?"
He was always affectionate when he was drunk, and you knew that. You needed to shut it down now before your heart could coax you into staying a little longer.
"I have to go home," you whispered, still not willing your body to move. You tried not to be amused as Seungcheol began pulling blankets around you and tucking them in.
"You are home," he whispered. "Right here with me."
You felt an unwelcomed warmth spread through your chest. If he wasn't so cute this would be a lot easier.
"Seungcheol..."
"Seungcheol, Seungcheol, Seungcheol," he continued quietly, settling himself in beside you. "Why do you always give me reasons why you can't stay instead of just trying?"
A little voice inside the back of your head repeated the old adage, drunk minds speak sober hearts. Coups was only clingy when he had too much to drink, but he had always been tender with you. Whether sober or inebriated, he was your person. You had never allowed yourself to think past platonic soulmates...but maybe...
"You're drunk," you countered. You felt so small in bed next to him. He was comfort and safety, even with soju on his breath.
"And you're scared."
He couldn't see the code to get into the apartment, but he could sure see right through you.
"It doesn't matter what I am," you whispered. "You'll regret this in the morning."
"No, I won't," he insisted. "Because I'll wake up with you next to me and I'll remember that drunk me did hangover me a solid.
I want you here, Y/N."
"Because you're drunk."
"Because you're mine," he said softly. "You always have been."
"Have I?" you whimpered. At this point, you were scared to break the spell. Scared that he would sober up and kick you out of his bed.
"Mhm," he cooed, pulling you closer. After placing a light kiss on your forehead, he chose to set his cheek there. "And I won't let go. Not even if there's a fire."
Anything that looked blurry now could be settled in the morning. How could you leave after that?

。゚゚・。・゚゚。 ゚。 SOUTHERN CHARM ; SCHLATT
  ゚・。・゚
Tumblr media
genre; tooth rotting fluff
type; headcanons
a/n; ... this is just really self indulgent from last night okay?? it's a southern!reader x schlatt hc list :,) i hope you guys enjoy !
read below!
Whenever Jay moved to Texas, that's when he met you, the little southern firecracker. He thought you were the most interesting person he'd ever met. Your accent, the way you carried yourself, your mannerisms, all of it.
In turn, you also thought he was really interesting. A guy with mutton chops, from New York, moving to Texas, just to keep streaming for people on the internet. It was nothing like you'd seen before, and you loved it.
You two slowly became good friends, and that meant you showing him music you liked. Sure, you didn't like JUST country music, but you did like a lot of country music. You showed him a lot of the basics, like Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, etc.
At first, he really, really hated it. He also hated all the southern lingo you used, mainly because he didn't know what the hell you were saying to him.
"Git! Git!" He smirked, "What the hell are you saying?" "I want the cat to get out of my room!" "Then just say get out!" You tilted your head. "That is what I'm saying!"
Eventually, you two got so close, you started dating. The New Yorker and the Southerner. Who would've thought?
You have an array of nicknames for him, one of them being 'sha'. He doesn't know what it means, and it annoys the piss out of him at first, but it grew on him.
"Why d' you call me that?" You sighed, looking at him from over the kitchen counter. "Who else in your little friend group or, hell, in your LIFE is gonna call you sha?"
He nodded, you had a good point. No one else was gonna call him sha. That was your nickname for him, no one else's. He found it endearing the more you called him sha.
Suddenly, you catch Jay listening to more country music, specifically 'Beautiful Crazy' by Luke Combs. You thought it was really sweet. "Does this song make you think of someone in particular, JJ?" He jumped, not realizing you were sneaking up behind him. "What? No! No. Obviously not. Maybe."
... It was you guys' wedding song. :)

How do you think fyodor would fuck reader ?
Alright buckle up because I have many thoughts about Fyodor.
Tumblr media
Let's tackle the first thing: he has no stamina. Sorry if you want this man to go to town on you for hours but it's not fucking happening. He's anaemic, built like a stickbug and does ZERO cardio. That man gets out of breath just walking up the stairs, he's not going to fuck you into the mattress or go 10 rounds. He prefers to have you sit in his lap and cockwarm him or sit under his desk while he works and suck him off. Not edging per se, he doesn't want to get close. He just likes seeing you there, taking him, devoted to him in a way. Fyodor likes idly using you, focusing more on the mental aspect of your dynamic.
That's if he wants to get himself off. If it's you we're talking about things are different. First off he's worse about denial than Dazai, point blank. This man is MEAN and he loves pulling away when you get close or ruining your orgasms, it's a total power trip. He loves it when you cry and plead with him, when you're so desperate you'd promise him anything he wanted if he'd just let you cum. He likes having that much control over you, and if it's something you're even halfway into he's going to take advantage of it. No touch, having to ask him if you want to touch yourself, a list of things you'd have to do to earn climaxes etc. It's his biggest weakness because it makes you so easy to control, so pliant. If he ever wants to try something new on you he's going to edge you until you'd agree to anything before springing it on you. And then probably make you fall in love with it and laugh at you for being so depraved, convincing you it was your idea in the first place.
That's another thing I think he'd be big on, gaslighting and training. To him you're an asset, a doll he can mold, he wants to know he's got complete control over you by shaping you into anything he wants. If he's into something he's going to make sure you're into it too, maybe even give you a few kinks just to know he did. He'd do stuff like play a specific song whenever you have sex so eventually he can play it randomly and watch you get a little hazy and flustered without really knowing why.
He'd be opposed to toys first, I'd think. He's a pussy and would believe that he should be bringing you pleasure, nothing else. But when he realises that toys shift the focus from how long he can last to how long until your poor brain gives up entirely. And he LOVES it. Always uses vibrators on you, or dildos, clamps your nipples and puts a chain between them to give it little pulls throughout the day. Gags, ropes, anything he can think of to accessorize your body. Making you wear a vibe or stuffing you far too full with a dildo to watch you struggle as you try to go about your day, randomly turning it on or ordering you to bend over so he can fuck into you and then plug you back up, leaving you clenching around the silicone and his cum. He likes you in white and lace, dolled up and pretty when he knows just how depraved you actually are.

Weirdly specific and overly long Critical Role Ask Meme
The annual Thanksgiving Hell Drive tradition that matters only to me!
Character you don't particularly like, but will defend vehemently when people dislike them for the wrong reasons.
Favorite unhinged shopkeeper.
Minor character people in the fandom are obsessed with that makes you go "them? why?"
Minor character you are (correctly) obsessed with.
Meta you would write if you did not fear people would be SUPER weird about it. This is also an invitation to write that meta and block the haters.
NPC you would most like to see as the subject of a Tales of Exandria series.
Alternate outcome in a main campaign that you don't necessarily wish happened, but that you wish you could see played out in an alternate universe before returning to ours.
You may personally require that Liam O'Brien plays a non-core four (ie, not a Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, or Fighter) character for at least 10 episodes - he cannot in any way be one of those classes, even as a multiclass. If you like Orym, assume this has no impact on him. What class or multiclass do you have him play?
Location in Exandria you'd like to see in a possibly canonical one-shot/EXU but with non-main campaign characters (as in Song of the Lorelei/The Darrington Brigade)
Favorite and least favorite Matt Mercer Original Subclass.
A common stance within the fandom you would most like to eliminate on the specific grounds of hypocrisy/self-contradiction.
Best ship of the literal seafaring vessel or skyship variety.
Favorite D&D PC (guests & EXU included but must be a PC) of [class provided by the asker]? Note that as of posting there is only one option each for artificer (Tary) and ranger (Vex), so don't ask those.
Describe the art you would most like to create or commission if talent/money were no object.
Favorite one-on-one conversation (can be between two PCs, or a PC and NPC).
Favorite group (all/most of the party) conversation.
You know that post that's like "I wish you could filter in ao3 on 'attitude towards a canon event'?" In the world of imagination, you can! What's the event or attitude?
Share one unpopular opinion but it must specifically only pertain to Sam's ads.
You can swap one subclass (not class) for any one main campaign main cast PC. Which character, and what's their new subclass?
What non-D&D TTRPG would you most like to see Critical Role run a one shot in?
You can eliminate one ship that did not become a canon, reciprocated relationship from the fandom's consciousness. It is entirely gone - no fics, no posts, no doctored out of context gifsets inexplicably claiming that Travis ships it, no anon hate, no drama. Your blocked tags list becomes several entries shorter. A weight is lifted from your shoulders, and you take the deepest breath you've taken in a long time. Anyway, now that you're feeling relaxed and inspired, what do you think Bertrand Bell's fighter subclass was?
Assume that every single non-multiclassed wizard PC OR significant wizard NPC (includes EXU Calamity) are in a battle royale, and all are level 16. Who would you bet on as the winner?
You can guarantee that Vax lives at the end of Campaign 1. However, you must trade his permadeath for the permadeath of a different PC who was dead for more than a minute. Your options are Percy dying permanently in 1x68; Scanlan dying permanently in 1x83; or Laudna dying permanently in 3x34. Do you choose to do so, why, and whose death do you trade?
You can guarantee that one Evergreen Question you write is pulled on 4-Sided Dive AND that the four cast members you most want to answer it are on that month. What's the question, and which cast members answer it?
What class do you most want to see Matt play if he is in a future EXU campaign as a new (not Dariax) PC?
You must swap one nat 1 die roll with one nat 20 die roll. They must both be from the main campaigns, but can be cross-campaign. Which are they, and why?
Pick one character, ship, or party; and one song you associate most with them, and explain why. This song cannot be on an existing playlist from the main cast. It also cannot be We Have it All by the Pim Stones nor Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford & Sons; I love those AMVs but please think for yourself.
Think back to all weird or bad opinions (pertaining to Critical Role) you've seen but which were not elaborated upon. You get to make one, and only one, person have to provide an honest response about what the fuck they were thinking. Which opinion do you receive the honest explanation for?
You can give any PC a Staff of Birdcalls. Who do you give it to?
What is your favorite theory or headcanon that has absolutely no bearing on the plot and isn't important at all, but which is completely compliant with canon?
A really weird fey entity grants you the following boon: you can magically make it so that whenever people try to draw Imogen with glasses, the glasses magically disappear. All you need to do is hit the DC. The DC begins at 15, it is a simple d20 die roll with no modifiers/additions, and you can reduce it by one for every month you live with canon, pre-episode 2x26 Mollymauk Tealeaf. You do have your own room, but the walls are thin. After 15 months you automatically succeed and Molly disappears as though he had never existed. How many months do you live with Molly?
If the CR main cast were to play the original 7 tombtakers per The Nine Eyes of Lucien (Brevyn, Cree, Jurrell, Lucien, Otis, Tyffial, and Zoren) in a one shot, who should play whom? Assume Matt DMs, but you do not need to have Taliesin play Lucien.
You may ask any member of the cast one, and only one lore clarification question. What do you ask?
You meet an old woman in the grocery store and help her with her bags. In return, she tells you she can guarantee that Campaign 3 will be fantastic, and that there will be a Campaign 4 set in Issylra that is also fantastic. However, she warns you, the price is that Marisha and Laura's characters will never be in a romance together, nor will Taliesin and Liam's, though there will be significant queer romances aplenty, both F/F and M/M, in said campaigns. Do you take her up on her offer?
You can set the time and place of the next EXU series, but it cannot be within 100 years of the Calamity nor Divergence. When and where do you set it?
Every cast member must create a main campaign character loosely based off a character they played in a one-shot not set in Exandria, a la Chetney from Chutney (as a result, Travis is excused from this exercise). Who should they choose? (Please note that Bar Room Blitz is set in Exandria. You cannot pick Jayne and you're boring for thinking it.)
You have to take a 16 hour road trip with one NPC from each campaign (all at once, ie, three other people). The NPCs cannot shorten the road trip in any way and the road trip must be via driving but you can do it in two 8 hour days and share a motel room if you'd like. Who do you pick?
Assuming that your rent and basic living expenses are paid regardless, nothing cataclysmic happens while you're there, and your race and class are perceived as completely average and nothing to comment on, which city in Exandria would you most like to live in for a year? You must spend the vast majority of your time there.
Favorite parental figure NPC?
What named but as of yet unseen character do you most want to see onscreen?

secret notes part 5: same boat
Series Masterlist See my full list of works here!
Summary: The team starts to speculate who The Lonely Avenger could be, and decide to watch a live stream of your first live show.
Pairing: Loki x Reader
Word Count: 1.8k
Warnings: none, this is a fluffy story [if i missed something, let me know and i'll update immediately]
Things to be aware of: idiots in love, mutual pining, reader in denial
Tumblr media
"You all keep assuming that this is some fantasizing teenage girl in her dorm room that has a thing for the dark-haired morally questionable brother. Who would probably have a thing for the Draco Malfoys, the what was that vampire guys' name again? Damon something? Guys like that. We're assuming this is someone we don't know. Someone we've never met. I'm saying we narrow our horizons a bit." 
"What are you saying, Tony? This is someone on the team?" 
"No, Rhodey. I'm saying this could be someone we've worked with in the past. Specifically someone Rock of Ages has worked with before." 
As Wanda walked in to the training room, hearing the men talk, a panic set in inside of her. They were narrowing down the identity of The Lonely Avenger to someone they've worked with? How much longer until they think to look into the team itself? How much longer until they looked at you? 
"Afternoon, gentlemen," she greeted the pair she secretly dubbed the Iron Brothers. "You two up to no good?" 
"Spitballing about who Ms Lonely Avenger on YouTube might be," Rhodes answered. "Tony here thinks that maybe Laufeyson's met her before and she developed some insane emotional attachment to him, which is why she's doing all this." 
"You know what, I second this," Sam announced as he walked in. "There's something about how she sings these songs to Horns. Like there's a personal connection. Like she's confessing, not just declaring, you know?" 
"Who's confessing?" More panic set in to Wanda as she heard your voice echo through the training room. "Should we ready some Congratulations banners and confetti poppers?" 
"Not just yet, jellybean," Tony answered. "We don't know who she is yet." 
"Wait who are we talking about again?" The confusion on your face was obvious; you truly hadn't heard what they were speaking about before you entered the room.
"The lark, darling." Wanda stifled a smile as she watched you stiffen and hold back a blush as Loki walked in and used that endearment with you. "They're trying to figure out who my admirer on the internet is." 
"Oh?" you squeaked. "And where are you all at with this?" 
"We think it's someone that Bambi's met, possibly worked with," Tony answered your question. "Possibly someone we consulted with for a mission? Someone in the tower? Someone he saved?" 
"Someone on the team," Rhodes offered, looking quite suspiciously at you. Could he know? How could he know? All very valid questions that you can't ask without raising his suspicions, Wanda reminded herself. 
"Nah, Rhodes. This one, I don't second. If anyone on the team sounded like that, we would know. Hell if I could sing like that I'd never shut up. You heard her last video? You got a voice that sweet you'd never stop singing. And if she's someone on the team, we would have heard her by now." 
Wanda almost audibly sighed in relief as Sam's logic began to steer suspicion away from you. Much as you were more open with her and Nat about your secret life as a singing YouTuber, and they even cover for you so that you could record on off days and not have to stockpile as much as you used to, she knew that you weren't ready quite yet for the rest of the team to know quite yet. Who knew which one of them would slip up and mention it to Loki on accident? 
"Why don't we just go  to her live show?" Peter asked from the door. "She has one tonight at Groove. 10pm. We could go there and--"
"Scare her off? Think this over, Parker. She performs, she sees an Avenger in the audience, she shuts down her channel and hides until the end of time. The smart move is to wait for people to upload videos of her performing so that we can find out who she is finally." 
"I like the way you think, Wilson," you agreed with him, your casual tone giving nothing away. You sounded so carefree about this entire ordeal that even Nat would be proud if she could hear you, but at the moment she was prepping your outfit for said live show, as well as their disguises so that they could sit among the audience and cheer for you. "Tell us what she looks like when we get back. Girls' night." 
Tumblr media
"Okay I have a question. You're going on this live show and you seem really confident that people won't recognize you. You're an Avenger. Your name and your face is all over the media, the internet. How can you be so sure that nobody will recognize you?" 
You smiled at Nat as her concern made her brows furrow, waving an unsuspecting-looking pair of glasses her way. "Swiped it from Operations this morning, something that Stark's trying out. Basically when you wear this it distorts the light waves that are picked up by any camera pointed at its wearer. So despite all these phones and all these cameras pointed at me, nobody will be able to prove that The Lonely Avenger is really just plain old Y/N Y/L/N." 
"Smart girl," she praised. "I'm proud of you. Now let's go. Try to get some food in you before you go live tonight. We can change our clothes in the car." 
As if right on cue, Wanda appeared at your door. "Ready?" 
"Ready," you and Nat said at the same time, taking each other's hand. 
"To baby's first live show," the spy teased softly. "Thank you for inviting us to it, babes." 
"I was always going to, you know," you answered. "Had you not found out when you did, I would've told you tonight. You bitches just needed to be patient," you finished with a playful shove at both of them. 
You were just about to step into the elevator when a voice stopped you in your tracks. "Y/N?" 
Natasha let go of your hand and kept walking toward the elevator, giving you a subtle signal to "turn around and talk to him", so you did. "Hey, Mischief." You stood still as he walked toward you. "What's up?" 
"You're leaving for the night?" There was a slight motion of his hand, as if he was about to move it toward something but stopped midway. 
"Erm…yeah. Girls night and all."
"You'll be safe?" 
You chuckled at the question. "Loki, I'm with a master assassin and one of the most dangerous practitioners of magic this side of the universe. And even without them I can hold my own. But honestly I'd trust these two with my life even if they're drunk out of their minds. I'll be safe." 
He nodded, as if mulling over your answer, and stepped just the slightest bit closer to you. "If at any point tonight, your situation becomes decidedly…unsafe…" he trailed off.
"I'll call you, I promise," you finished for him, unable to prevent a fond smile forming on your face. He may not return your feelings, but it warmed your heart knowing that he was this concerned for your safety. 
A soft smile graced his features as he reached up to tuck a lock of hair currently forming a slight curtain over your face behind your ear. "Such resplendence shouldn't be hidden away," he said simply, touching your chin before putting his hand back down. "I suppose I will see you in the morning then."
"Suppose you will, Mischief." With an awkward wave as you stepped backwards toward the elevator, he turned around and walked in the direction of his room. When the doors closed on you and your friends, they looked at you with amused looks in their eyes. "Not a word. I don't even know what the fuck just happened." 
Tumblr media
The temptation to seek out this place called 'Groove' as 10 o'clock loomed closer crept up on Loki that night. He knew that whoever The Lonely Avenger was, she would be performing there according to the information acquired by the Spiderling. And he was so morbidly curious as to the true identity behind this voice was as he heard her this week dedicating a song to him about how she pictured him when she would think of home.
He wanted desperately to know who she was. But even more desperately, a pathetic part of him still held on to hope that perhaps Rhodes was right. Perhaps the person behind the voice was someone on the team. Perhaps it was you. 
Perhaps you returned his affection and he had made an error in assuming that you merely thought of him as a friend.
He stood up at the sound of a tentative knock on his door, surprised to find the Spiderling adolescent on the other side with a notably cautious and terrified look on his face. "Uhh hi, Mr Loki, sir. We were going to watch a live stream of The Lonely Avenger and we were wondering if you wanted to watch with us? Because you're the one all her songs are for?" 
The god was taken aback at the invitation, but couldn't in his right faculties find a reason to turn down the offer. "I would, actually. Thank you, Parker." He followed the child to the common area and stood behind the sofa as a video began to play on the large screen in front of the team. 
"Alright, everybody, this is the moment we've all been waiting for, but before we begin, I did get a few instructions from The Lonely Avenger herself. She knows that many of you will have your phones out, but all she requests is that if you do recognize her by chance, do not say her name tonight. That's all she asks." That was strange. The god would think that this woman would request not to have recording devices out all together if she was adamant on keeping her identity a secret.
After a few moments the common room echoed with raucous applause. She had taken the stage. But then the applause was overtaken with questions of "what the hell" and accusations that this Lonely Avenger had tampered with their devices somehow. When he looked at the screen once more, he saw that the stage did in fact have a woman on it, but her face was shrouded in a bright white spiraling halo.
"Stark…" Rogers said in a cautious tone. "Isn't that…" 
"That's my tech," the billionaire finished with wonder in his tone. "She's using one of the image distortion glasses that R&D just put into testing last month." 
"Hold on. Tony, that means--"
"You might be right, Rhodey. This might be someone on the team." 
Y/N? Darling, could it truly be you? Loki thought to himself, indulging in the thought that perhaps you were the woman on stage, and the night you said you would spend with your friends was a ruse. That Romanoff and Maximoff were disguised amongst the audience members. 
"At the very least, now we know it's someone who works in the tower. And has access to R&D," Stark finished. 
Tumblr media
A/N: Keep indulging that thought, Loki, you're on the right track.

Emo RD Rambles 3: Patient Playlist
Welcome back to Emo Cannot Write For Shit So You All Get His Rambles. With an additional thing at the end winkwink. This is really really long so let's get cracking.
Today's concept: Ian and Ada approach the idea of creating a Patient Radio - a playlist made of the long term patient's favourites songs to 'maximise comfort'.
As a beta for the Radio, they leave a sheet of paper in the connecting hallway for patients to list suggestions of their preferred music, around three or four songs maximum. Some already have ideas in mind, while others struggle.
This is just a silly idea I had when wondering what type of music the main RD cast listens to; excluding the songs they're actually involved in. This also created some funny writing prompts that I may use for a small comedic anthology. For example:
Hailey is the first person to write anything down: and she's pretty basic (sorry). Her style is very mainstream, involving those pop songs you'd hear on the radio. From there, a few folks follow, with varying genres and tastes. The next day, however, more folks have added some ideas, including Logan. You can tell Logan has visited - because there is now a messy heart drawn next to Hailey's suggestions.
Also, Logan suggests similar stuff to Hailey, with the addition of maybe an anime opening or two.
Cole... suggests his own music. For the sake of both his ego, and the declining state of the patients, he's given a stern 'no'. Of course, it's Cole, so he angrily scribbles out his suggestions and leaves the paper be. He's surprised when 'Unreachable' comes on via the Patient Radio - and, sure enough, someone's written it down past his scribbling. More specifically, Samurai. He even signed it! (By that, I mean the writing is just "Unreachable- Cole Brew (SAMURAI)". All of Samurai's suggestions are signed this way.)
Insomniac writes down only one suggestion: a traditional Japanese folk song (or 'hōgaku'). This would be fine - if he wrote the song's title in Romaji. Instead, the song is written in pure, specific kanji characters.
Ada returns to Ian come the night with a new version of the paper: "Hey, so, uh- I got the paper back today and there's some new stuff from the swordsmen. Any idea what this is?" Ian turns, "Hah?" before seeing the kanji. There's a slight pause before he just casually goes, "Oh! This is (insert Japanese title here)! That's easy, I'll type it up." Ada learns that Ian learnt how to read kanji entirely just for the songs he listens to that are in Japanese.
Oh yeah: the moment this song plays on the radio, the Insomniac falls asleep. Hell, he sleeps like a baby. Unfortunately, they can't play it on loop, but now they know he appreciates a lil' lullaby.
Speaking of Ian and Ada, they decide to add some of their own songs to the mix (Ian mostly - he felt it was a little unfair that the patients get to listen to banger tunes). Ian adds quite a variety, but we cannot ignore the fact he adds maybe one or two vocaloid songs.
Ada, unfortunately, is a little embarrassed of her status as a former theatre kid, still musical lover. She, instead, uses a few common songs from the radio to add to the list. Ian convinces her, after a little while, to add a really popular song from her favourite musical. I do not know what musical this is.
There's a surprising amount of patients that add jazz to the radio, or at least music from the 1950 to 1980's era. For one, the Stevensons' accidentally add the same song to the list twice, given Mr. Stevenson can't read his wife's handwriting that well anymore (I'll elaborate on why later). This also just so happens to be a song that played in their wedding. They have a ball dancing to it.
Additionally, the Miner also includes a bit of Rock 'n' Roll or otherwise jazz into his suggestions. They're very old for the 30-something nut, but it adds up. He also, thanks to Cole, includes a little chiptune.
Hugh somehow adds the tutorial theme. You know, the tutorial song from Rhythm Doctor. Nobody recognises the title, or the artist, but everyone in the ward has a mutual moment of "I swear I've heard this before". Hugh doesn't comment.
There's a slight cultural shift once Insomniac includes his traditional tune. It's not the only Non-English hit, and Ian/Logan do add a couple of Japanese songs to the pile.
In Nicole's case, she ends up not sure what to suggest, but still wanting to take part. So, she ends up adding a Chinese pop song, quote: "I don't know any Chinese myself, but my mom would put this on a lot, and I didn't have anything else that'd be good for a hospital radio."
Lucky adds two jazz, and a rock song to the radio. The biggest issue is that he originally aimed to add a Spanish song from his childhood, but got caught in his own head, scribbling it out halfway. The good thing? Miner is able to read bits and pieces, writing what he could make out - angering Lucky into writing the full title. He jumps when it plays on the radio days later.
I believe that's everything I had listed. Thanks to RDL for allowing me to compile all of my thoughts before adding them here, as these are now far more conjoined.
Oh, right! The bonus thing! Considering the song suggestions were taken on a piece of lined paper, I thought it would be fun to visualise what I believe the main casts' handwriting would look like:

WAAA MERA I LOVE MONOPS'S REFLECTION SO MUCHHHH
im obsessed with the way you portrayed jade in the story. like its not everyday that i get to see him written in a way that totally doesnt hide his insanity at all. reading monops's reflection was just so <33 aaa tysm for writing smth so amazing!!!
you mentioned before that monops!jade is very "rotten girl grotesque romance", and i totally agree, but i was actually reminded of another old yandere vocaloid song when i read the fic! idk if you know it, but its called "pure love restraint". its a really good song hehe, you should totally check it out if you dont already know it!
oh also speaking of songs, i recently started listening to loveit? by biz since you mentioned it a while ago, and i love the song so much >< do you happen to have any other song recommendations because clearly you have great taste in music~
also as a final note, i cant wait for tmdg hehe 👉👈
-kanata <3
AAAAA THANK YOU!!!!! >w< I'm so happy you enjoyed Monops's Reflection!!!! Jade is so wildly deranged in that fic. He truly is the embodiment of the harsh, brutal depths he hails from. ;;;; seeing Reader in the storage closet with Floyd pushed him over the edge he'd been teetering on for so long now. T^T he's far surpassed the point of no return. I had so much fun finishing this fic and portraying Jade in such a terrifying manner. And poor Reader had no idea what hid behind that seemingly pleasant smile of his until it was too late...
There are so many layers to Monops!Jade. How he gets so disgusted at the sight and thought of you with anyone else. How it's not really sexual gratification he's after; he's just chasing some thrill he's yet to figure out in its entirety, which is why he doesn't touch you at all during the non-con scene. Because it's not your pleasure he cares about; he could care less whether you feel good or not. How his sanity is so thin and threadbare that it's hardly there at all. How he fails to recognize that, despite the similarities he shares with Floyd, he's still his own person, still different, but not different enough for you to look his way, apparently. And then there's the meaning of Monops, which is a "one-eyed creature." >:D aaaaa he's truly the worst.
OOOOO "true love restraint"!!!!!!! I love that song!!! That song definitely has the vibes that Monops!Jade exudes!! And I'm happy you enjoyed listening to "loveit." :D it's a very good song, but then all of biz's songs are amazing!!!
>:) I always have song recommendations to share!! I'll list a few of my favorite (lesser known) Vocaloid songs with dark undertones/stories below, but if there's any specific genre you'd like recs for please let me know!!!
✧ insanity blue (all of kashii moimi's songs are fantastic!!! i recommend them, but this one is my all-time favorite hehe)
✧ wolfism (there's also a jade utau cover of this song. <3 both are very good.)
✧ go to daitokai (the lyrics for this one are very nsfw, but this song is very catchy.)
✧ biohazard (the original is very good, but i love the sonika cover so much!!)
✧ distortion love (this piko cover is everything. <3)
✧ ◇◇ (i love this song and the songs that are similar to [redacted]'s style. i'm not sure if you know of these style of utau songs (the "no title" songs), but in 2020 they became especially popular and a lot of people online began to call it a secret cult of sorts, where you couldn't search these videos normally because they didn't have a title to search for, so instead the videos would find you.)
✧ lamprey hole (i love this song forever!!!!!)
✧ meiro (it's so so good!!!)
✧ no title (this song is a banger!!!!!!!!! it got me through quarantine as did all the other no title songs and tributes. :D)
I will stop here or else the list will go on endlessly, but if you ever wish to hear new music I will be happy to share some recommendations!!! Also, thank you for looking forward to tmdg!!!!! <3 it grows closer to completion with every passing day!!!!

-Challenge-
You have the opportunity to bring 15 items from Earth to Teyvat, when you are isekai’d to Genshin cult au. However, these commodities should be strictly exclusive to Earth, meaning that it cannot be something that can easily be replicated in Teyvat.
Create a list with the top (1) as the highest priority, and the bottom (15) as the least. Then, use a number generator to determine how many are isekai’d with you. For example, if you rolled a 6, then only your first 6 items will be waiting for you in Teyvat.
Pfooo- this was actually harder than I thought! At first I panicked because if it were ImposterAU I'd be in BIG trouble (mainly because I'd be unable to bring weapons. Teyvat has all weapons, and if they don't, it'd be easy to replicate,) but CultAU should give me some slack,,, right??
Anyways, I rlly liked this, I'm tagging other people as well, feel free to join me!! @why-am-i-here-someone-save-me @myxxei0 (< I feel like you'd have the best and craziest answers) @greenteaanon @mayullla @/everyone who wants to join
IF I TAGGED YOU AND U DON'T WANT TO JOIN THAT'S POG AS WELL <3 no worries, :D I just thought it was fun to do!!
Tumblr media
Laptop
I chose a laptop specifically because the Dodocommunication device is a replicated form of a phone, so I wouldn't be able to bring one of those. But laptops are harder to replicate? I'm p certain that there are no TV's or computers in Teyvat yet!!
2. Chicken nuggets
Should this be my priority? No.
3. A different breed of dogs
Maybe a feisty chiwauwa that steals all my affection and time. 10/10 best method to make people jealous. Bonus points if the dog only loves me and barks at the acolytes when they want to try and talk to me
4. A science book.
I know khemia and alchemy exist, but our technology is more advanced(?)/different than Teyvat's. If there is anything special in a thick science book, it might boost Teyvat's knowledge! I would only give it to Albedo though. If it falls into the hands of dottore or marionette I'd have caused the world's end
5. Antibiotics/One of those basic headache pills
They probably don't need to exist due to healers in Teyvat, but perhaps it might boost the medical knowledge of Teyvat? Perhaps it's more accessible? I get pains a lot so it'd be nice
6. Mp3 player
Easy accessible music. Even if there's only one song on it, it will bring comfort.
7. Headphones
Pretty sure these don't exist yet? Not the ones for music at least. I'd need it for the mp3/laptop to fully access it.
8. Any religious books
If the cultAU gets too much for me, I'll use any religious book (from Earth) in my advance! I'll try and make them believe that I'm human instead of some deity. Tbf this could backfire REALLY QUICK but it's worth trying as a plan-B
9. Smoke bombs
This might be cheating because it's easily re-creatable, but I feel like it wouldn't be created unless I'd bring one? And I'd be LMAO when I drop one of them smoke bombs near Jean. She'd get flashbacks to Klee's bombs and I'd like to keep them on edge at times.
10. Bubblegum
P sure it'd scare at least one person when I pop it
11. Merchandise
Specific movies/mascots can't be recreated in Teyvat. I really like the rilakkuma bears so maybe I bring those? It's not to benefit of anyone besides my own comfort
12. Megaphone
Can I bring this one anon? It might be easily replicated but I doubt anyone would-- should they see the chaos it brings
13. One of those furbees
If only to freak them out :)
14. Anything Dinasaur related
Perhaps dinosaur nuggets? I'd convince them that it's a small breed of animals that used to be REALLY big but now we eat them for dinner with ketchup
15. A body pillow of one of the character
This would've been higher on the list if I actually had the guts to walk around with a body pillow. Bonus points if it's Dainsleif (bc he hates gods doesn't he? Would be kinda funny imo)
OKAY NOW RANDOM NUMMER!!!
Tumblr media
I'm so sad I couldn't bring the furbee but at least I'd have some chicken nuggies :) THANKS ANON! This was fun and chaotic

I've mentioned in passing that I was slowly putting together moodboards of songs for the SCM Gods. Now none of them are anywhere near finished but seeing as from my quick searches when I first started throwing them together I somehow managed to end up with thirteen songs on Huedhaut's list, maybe I will at least go through why I've associated these songs with him?
Major spoilers for Hue's path under the cut
Let's start in the past then shall we? Yes some of these are clearly a mood for Huedhaut/Clotho not Huedhaut/MC but bear with me...
1. Driftwood (The Moody Blues)
'I don't remember what was said In the confusion that night I only know what's on my mind What's in the future, we will decide
Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew'
This possibly isn't the neatest one on this list but tell me this doesn't at least make you think a little of the night that The Goddess of Fate decided to save the Earth over her life with Hue. I mean this:
'But darling, now I know you Life could never be the same Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore'
This is certainly Hue's feelings isn't it? 😭
Okay continuing on with the Huedhaut/Clotho stuff for now and now we're in that era of Hue being on his own...
This one totally feels like it could be his feelings in the immediate aftermath:
2. Cold Outside of Your Heart (The Moody Blues)
'Then out of the blue, it was over And how did you think I would survive
'Cause it's cold outside Yes, it's cold outside of your heart'
I mean, ouch, but it fits doesn't it?
Okay two more that are specifically pertaining to Huedhaut after losing Clotho, though both of these I feel are nearer to when they go and meet MC for the first time. If you think about how he is in Prelude to Fate (the special story where they show MC what happened just before they got their marks of sin) these two songs feel like his internal thoughts ever since he was on his own.
3. Deeper Shade of Blue (Steps)
'I used to say you were wonderful Now I just wonder where you are It's easy to say memories fade But I'm still missing you, nothing's changed
And I'm a deeper shade of blue And there's nothin' I can do You're so far, far away'
I could quote the entirety of the lyrics to this one but it fits so well because Hue knows that her soul survived due to his interfering but he has no reason to believe he will ever see her again and even if that did happen she's not the same person, just a reincarnation.
On a similar note:
4. Haunted (The Moody Blues)
'I really miss you when the nights are long And only silence is heard in this world of song But life goes on And forever more I'll be haunted by your love'
Do I really need to say more about this one? This absolutely is Hue before his path starts.
And finally in this section, one that totally relates to how Hue feels about the Goddess of Fate leaving him behind:
5. Someone You Loved (Lewis Capaldi)
'Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved'
I mean... do I need to talk about this? It was sudden. And the line let my guard down? I mean Hue can see into the future, The Goddess of Fate could change people's futures. They are absolutely so entwined and I feel like Hue probably would feel like he should have noticed something before it got as far as it did.
Find another option like he and MC did later (twice in fact! The end of his main story where they calm the issues a third way rather than Hue's idea vs Zyglavis' , but also the end of his sequel story where rather than MC stepping through the door on her own, they step through it together. Would that have worked before? (And as that did work there... what was the King worried about in his Promise of Infinity Story? UGH).
Okay let's get out of this part of his path shall we? I want happier Hue... (man that's not exactly easy is it? *hugs him* ). Let's start with something a little more hopeful:
6. I Know You're Out There Somewhere (The Moody Blues)
'And to those who lack the courage And say it's dangerous to try Well they just don't know That love eternal will not be denied I know you're out there somewhere'
Now this one isn't quite a perfect fit I know, but the vibe of this certainly makes me think about how he is in the other Gods' paths: knowing that she is indeed out there somewhere living a new life.
Okay back onto his actual path now and this next one feels like it could be his feelings just after MC calls him Hue for the first time and has clearly remembered at least some of her past life as the Goddess of Fate:
7. Bless The Wings (That Bring You Back) (The Moody Blues)
'I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now, my darling And love you just once more
If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand'
I mean that's what he asks isn't it? Just for that night to indulge him? Of course then he decides it isn't what to do because he doesn't think MC's feelings have returned.
Talking of which, this next one feels like it's absolutely perfect for after they have finally sorted the mess at the end of his main story and are back together without Hue having to do anything drastic and MC not having to be killed and screw you Zyglavis they found another option xD:
8. The Story in Your Eyes (The Moody Blues)
'I've been thinking about our fortune And I've decided that we're really not to blame For the love that's deep inside us now is still the same
And the sounds we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes It's been shining down upon me now, I realize'
Music to the story in your eyes. Like you cannot get much clearer than that when it comes to Hue and MC. There is literally a story in MC's eyes because of Hue sacrificing the stars from one of his in order for her to exist in the first place.
Let's head to a sweeter one now:
9. Perfect (Ed Sheeran)
Okay some of this doesn't quite fit but look me in the eyes and tell me these lines in particular don't fit wonderfully:
'But darling, just kiss me slow Your heart is all I own And in your eyes, you're holding mine'
'Fighting against all odds I know we'll be alright this time Darling, just hold my hand Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes'
Yup, eyes again, but it just is such a clear theme in Hue's route.
Okay let's go a bit more left field here. I guess this one is maybe fitting for Hue's sequel story:
10. One More Time To Live (The Moody Blues)
This starts nice and gently with the following:
'Look out of my window See the world passing by See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes'
But it soon degrades into this:
'Desolation Creation Tell me someone why there's only confusion Evolution
Tell me someone that this is all an illusion Pollution Tell me someone Saturation'
Which to me feels like what it could feel like to Hue in one of his visions, especially during his sequel where the water is literally screaming out in pain at him.
And then right near the end you get this:
'Changes in my life Communication Compassion Solution
Look out on the hedgerow As the world rushes by Hear the birds sign a sigh'
So it goes right round in a circle but the communication, compassion, solution line... that's Hue and MC deciding to fix it by stepping through the door together isn't it?
Apparently you can only have 10 audio tracks per post on Tumblr but this should hopefully have covered the main ones anyway.
The three tracks I didn't get round to including as I tried to order them into this post if anyone is curious are: 'It's A Hard Life' (Queen), 'Will You Sing a Chorus With Me?' (Anthony John Clarke), and 'Between Midnight and Blue' (Anthony John Clarke)

MINI CHARACTER PLAYLIST Share at least five songs that remind you of your muse, or that you associate with your muse's character arc. Including lyrics is optional.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't Remember Me by HalaCG
Why's it so hard to breathe? Chasing down more ways to please. I'll show them all I'm stronger Not like your memories Now that I've broken free You're not someone I need Won't play nice any longer. So don't remember me.
Let's be real: Everybody who has not followed my Jinx since yesterday knew this song was going to be on my list! Back when I first started out writing this muse and looked for fan songs (as I like to do), this song just struck a chord with me. The reason, it is on my list here, is if I had to characterise my Jinx with one song, all the struggles she endured, the difficulties, she has with her sister, but also that reliance and trust she has in Silco, this would be it. Don't Remember Me is Jinx broken down in her purest form.
Start Of Something New by Ely Eira
Take a step, let our moment come We can have our escape, hey We will have all that we wanted We will be touching the sky History can no longer haunt us 'Cause right now This is the start of something new
After the end of Act Three, with Silco dead and Vi having in her mind completely abandoned her for the final time, Jinx should be at her lowest point and utterly broken. However, that is not what happens. Instead, as she blows up the Council building with the Super Mega Death Rocket, it almost seems like she is experiencing a personal moment of triumph. Even though she is grieving so many things at once (both Silco and Vi simultaneously), she also is reshaping herself in this burn-it-all-down moment. For me, Start Of Something New embodies this idea of an older and more mature Jinx. If Don't Remember Me encapsulates Jinx as a whole, then Start Of Something New is Jinx becoming the toymaker.
Shared Eyes by Blixemi
You're not who you think you are And I wish I never knew I don't want to see the irony That you hate me for being you Pushed me to walk 'neath starless skies 'Cause I'll never shine as bright As the light of your eye What good is it to even try? You'll never hear, or see, or face All the parts of you you despise Come to life Standing right 'fore your eyes in spite Reminding both of us have wished on a starless night
Strangely enough, this song in my eyes is not about Jinx and Vi - it is about Jinx and Mylo! Specifically, it is about her wrestling with whom he is post-mortem. I believe that after his death, she spent a lot of time thinking over the fact that it was his voice she could hear and him she could see. I think a lot of her earliest actions are very much motivated by proving him wrong, yet at the same time, I could easily see her feel like she has almost inherited his nature and that there is some kind of truth in his ire. At the same time, Shared Eyes also captures her regarding Mylo's love and approval as being almost unreachable. Because she cannot just purely hate him. He is still her older brother, despite the mockery, despite the insults, despite the cruelty. This contradiction of her love for her older brother with what he has done to her mental state is perfectly shown here.
Voices by Motionless In White/Bad Luck by Aviators/In My Head by NateWantsToBattle
As I walk through this valley of shadows and death I curse not the wicked, I praise not the blessed If I told you the truth you'd beg me to change If fear were a currency you'd own the bank
______
Welcome to the freak show Thought the odds were equal Roulette in my head keeps rolling on Let the bloody streets flow Nothing holds a candle To thе rapid fire of my own gun Maybe psycho Push me and you might go Ovеr in a blaze of arcane blue Stop me if I ramble I'll come take a gamble for you 'Cause you need a little bad luck baby
______
You don't know the half of it (half of it) Hands up while I take the hits (take the hits) It's something that you can't admit I fight for my life, now I'm done with your sh- Say it once, say it twice, now you're in my head Say it all a thousand times, leaving me for dead Say it once, say it twice, now you're in my head Say it at the same time, Jinx, and now you're dead
I am aware that I am cheating a bit here because I am picking three songs instead of one. However, I will count them as one as in my eyes, these songs all depict one element of Jinx extremely well: Her mania. Whereas Shared Eyes showed the complexity of what Jinx is seeing, Voices, Bad Luck and In My Head all show how these hallucinations trigger Jinx's mania and madness and what it feels like to be enraptured by this mental instability. The instrumentals of all these songs are more in the alternative rock direction and they even sound a bit disjointed and overpowering. They do not just cover how frightening living in such episodes is for Jinx, but they also capture what a danger she becomes for other people. How her mania limits her inhibitions, how it gives her an easily excitable trigger finger, how it makes her almost revel and cherish the carnage, she is causing. I have a lot more songs which capture this Jinx is dangerous when a mania episode hits vibe, but those three are probably the most crucial ones.
You're A Jinx/Everyone Else Betrays Us/Is There Anything So Endearing As a Daughter?/You're Perfect from the Arcane soundtrack
When it comes to Silco and Jinx as people, I feel like their dynamic cannot be captured in songs. Mostly because both participants are such layered and complex individuals, which creates such a convoluted dynamic that most songs, dealing with complex (read: toxic) dynamics just do not encompass it completely. Poison from Hazbin Hotel sort of fits the bill, but if we are honest, nothing captures these two better than Arcane's soundtrack, specifically the instrumentals where their leitmotifs intermingle and influence one another. The way these four instrumentals work back to back in my eyes really shows under what extraordinary circumstances, Silco found Powder and how his influence was able to anchor her, even in the most trying and difficult times. At the same time, I love how the latter two songs show that Silco did indeed love Jinx and that he loved her completely unconditionally. Again, I need to reiterate how calming Silco's leitmotif is - especially with Jinx's violin themes, which are often frantic and high-pitched. Just hearing his leitmotif weaving into hers, you can hear Jinx's madness simmer down, you can hear Silco deescalating the situation in the music! And I love how this facette appears even before tracks like Is There Anything So Undoing As A Daughter or You're Perfect. It is like the instrumental is showing that Silco had Jinx's best interest at heart even back then!

Hey,
I just wanted to make sure: have you been in the ofmd fandom during s1 coming out? I'm very interested in meta from that time (I'm not asking for any links, I can search myself, don't want to bother you, unless you would like to recommend something, that would be great of course)
(Forgive any spelling errors for now, im in bed on my phone lol)
Hello! Yes I have! I started watching the show a few days after s1ep7&8 came out, and watched eps 9&10 the moment they came out!
During the early days of fandom meta, you had a lot of straight up show analysis. Songs, motifs, symbols and explaining characters actions and the like. Back then I don't think I ever posted, just reblogged some stuff relating to Ed/Stede.
For that, I'd recommend looking up the topics I listed from lighthouse symbolism, music in certain scenes. Bare bones, but fun stuff! The tags 'ofmd meta' 'Edward Teach meta' or character + meta. That or ofmd symbolism, ofmd mental health, Ed's heart(referencing the red cloth), Oranges, Oluwande's earing.
My biggest draw here is I just love characters and analyzing character arcs in stories. So I have always been on the more meta sides of fandom.
I started posting light meta for Ed and Izzy maybe around June ish of 2022? Maybe? Nothing big, but from then on I focused mainly in the Izzy spaces. FOR ME: I was more intrigued by the meta on the cycles of abuse, classism, refrences to historical piracy, and just sheer angst and heart and emotional honesty of the Meta on this side of the fandom. I grew up and still live in a very red very rural US state and cant safely be visibly queer, so i latched onto Izzy's caution around visable queerness/vulnerability and habit to cling onto the established norm vs. Stede and Ed's story on 'The Love Shack' Carribean eddition. (and the fact Izzy's side treated Ed and Stede like characters that COULD still make mistakes.)
Some fans prefer the romance of ofmd while others prefer the story of family/acceptance/angst. We as a fandom split pretty quickly after ep 10. Trust me.
I sadly can't recommend you anyone specific due to essentially texting this post rn (and if any fans at the time comment down below any notable meta writers they can remember, I'd appreciate it-im drawing a blank besides my mutuals-hell give yourself a shout out if youd like). What i can give you are the disagreements that split meta writing in the fandom during the hiatus. Hell some of these even have trickle-down effects to this day as to how the fandom portrays these characters TO THIS DAY. This is where I see the clear line between what ofmd fandom will call the Izzy 'canyon' of meta vs general fan posting.
1.) Did Izzy influence/order Ed to become the Kraken? [Ed meta: (to be a bit uncharitable) Ed felt like he was alone and he'd only be able to keep Izzy in his life is if he became the Kraken (or Izzy is somehow abusing Ed to make that choice to become the monster he feared)] [izzy meta: izzy wanted blackbeard back, his friend and captain, not the Kraken. He cares about Ed being safe, and for them, that means hiding behind the blackbeard shield. Even if it keeps them both stagnant]
2.) Does Ed want to kill? How does he frame killing? How does he moralize it? How does this trauma affect him as a character? How does he value the lives of his crew ('they're pirates, that's their job' s1ep4 vs his dad or the ship he lit on fire for example)
3.) Is izzy homophobic/racist/a colonist/more of a piece of shit beyond just being an antagonist(if i were you I'd also just stick away from a post if it seems like the writer is framing all of Ed's actions like Izzy is his 'puppet master controlling the strings'.)
4.) Why do Stede and Ed seem to struggle to care about anyone else in their lives beyond each other? (Not really popular outside of Izzy spaces unless discussing ADHD/AUTISM. Honestly I don't know how you'd look for this in a Tumblr search bar, but it's some good stuff)
5.) Edward Teach has Adhd/BPD/Depression or the cycle of abuse, Stede Bonnet has Autism/Adhd/emotional childhood neglect including some amazing meta on masking. I think I even wrote something about Izzy and autism actually....
If I were you this is where I'd start. The mental health discussions in this Fandom are intriguing. S2 did basically confirm the ADHD 100% for anyone who was doubting, and healed Ed's btd with stedes dick, but other than that. There's some really good stuff in there. An easy way to find some good writers!
>) ALSO: Does piracy represent masculinity?? (S1 says maybe, it depends. S2 throws that whole meta out the window, but it was fun to talk about equating Izzy and Ed's leather daddy ship and more masculinity presentations of queerness to traditional masc gender roles)
6.) Do you define Ed and his actions as his own or as that under labels? This one is super frustrating to me personally. It does nothing for me to look at s2ep1 and say 'see that's the Kraken, that's a mask, that's not Ed'. But a lot of the general wider fandom do see Ed masking as somehow putting on a role, like in a play, and carrying out his evil actions under a pseudonym. These people usually will also believe the 'Izzy is manipulating a mentally ill man' stuff. As if Izzy isn't also SUPER fucked up.
THIS lack of character direction affected our fandoms fanfic and fanart too. I look at Ed and see a man who is and has fucked up. But hell, go back to S1 fic and you can read a fic where izzy slaughters puppies and Ed stands by with 'sexy cow eyes' unable to stop him. Then the next read 'Ed/Stede slowburn post s1 where Izzy goes to get Stede and learns to be apart of the crew' in 40k words.
7.) Jim's religious trauma, what is up with Buttons, Lucius/Izzy and Polyamory dynamics, or other topics with side characters that are brushed off. I bet right now if you look at people writing S2 Frenchie trauma Meta, they wrote stuff for s1
8.) Also- was izzy turned on by the toe thing/getting slammed into a wall. Yes. This is still debated. As a con oneill fan, those are not his 'I'm hot for this' faces. But No. You will still see that interpretation today that he wanted Ed to do something to him only because he got off on it. Even after s2. (Izzy being a masochist however? Fan theory that was embraced and made into a refrence in s2 which was fun)
I've just rebloged a post with some meta from a writer I enjoy and I will tag you!! But yeah! OFMD mutuals if you can recommend any meta writers, don't be afraid to!! Thanks for the ask!!! ❤️(I will likely add to this post when I think of more lol)

Okay, I just went over the iceberg and I have found or heard of a large majority of the stuff on there. My main question is how did you discover all of this stuff he's been in?
My other question are as follows
What is "why don't we say..."?
Do you have any information on Everything is Fine? I wasn't able to find much at all besides a basic premise.
What is Love NY?
Did you find a video of him singing the national anthem? I read about it and an article from the SoR days, but I didn't find footage.
I know about everything on the third tire except "Megan"? UNLESS IT'S THAT MEGAN!!? In that case, we good 👍😳👀
Is On Your Marc the show he and Drew created that is going to show (I believe) off Broadway starting early next year ? The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers?
Wasn't able to find much on Slow Children either, so if you have any, that'd be awesome!
What is "I could use a drink" BTS? I know about Drew's show, but the BTS I'm not sure about.
BROdway? I searched it up and could find nothing.
Last I guess is how on earth did you find that Collage staging of Hair he did? That's a deep cut!
One thing to suggest be put on there if you want to add anything is Twilight in Manchego. I just found it today. Idk if you've already discovered it, but in case you haven't it's something he did in 2008 I believe. If you Google it, it should pop up. There are a few videos on YouTube and there's a Facebook page.
So happy to answer!! I found most of this just by watching interviews, he's mentioned a lot of the stuff he's done offhandedly, not all of it of course. Others I found just by googling around, theres this site that has extended credits which is helpful. But really a lot of this isn't too difficult to find, I have "I must know everything about this topic" hyperfixations if that gives any more context.
And I'll say right off the bat that I found out about Twilight in Manchego like a few days after I made the ice berg, so I'd definitely put it on there now. Another thing I'd probably add now would be the reading he did for Book of Mormon.
Okay, now onto that list!
- I meant "How come no one says.." the song by Brett Ryback, that's my bad, I consistently get the song name wrong for some reason. I added it to the list because Alex has sung it four times (thats been recorded [1, 2, 3, 4] CW for wildly ableist language) and I'm like 99.9999% sure its the song he references in this interview and I found that a bit amusing.
- For both Everything is Fine and Slow Children, I only know what Alex has said in interviews. I don't have specific links, nor the time to rewatch a bunch of stuff right now, but I believe he talks about both of them briefly in this podcast with Drew if I'm remembering correctly. (I'm super sorry if I'm wrong!!)
- Love, NY was a show he did a reading for at the New World Stages, here's a playlist of the some the performance. He plays a character named Benjamin (Benji).
- No!! I never found a national anthem video, drives me up a damn wall honestly, you'd think something like that would be documented but I've had zero luck finding anything.
- I definitely mean that Megan yes. I thought it'd be funny.
- Kinda! On Your Marc is the documentary they did about the show. It was screened at a few conventions from what I know. It's listed on Alex's imdb.
- There's this fun article about the recording of the album, including a video which is broken in the article (had to check their Flickr to find it) so here's that.
- It's just a YouTube video! But it's a bit hard to search because of the pun, so here's that.
- I found it because F mentioned it in this show, I thought it was hilarious and I immediately had to find it.
Thank you for asking!! I will answer the other one soon, but I'm out right now. ^v^

Tag List Cleanup
So yes. This has been a loooong time coming.
Tumblr media
Hi there, so if you're reading this, it is likely you agree that I am quite terrible at maintaining a consistent taglist, so I'm going to scratch it off and start all over again. And I'm also terribly disorganised, so yes, but that's a story for another day.
Okay, let's get to the categories! You're welcome to choose one, two or "n" number of categories from this. Perma counts as everything, so you needn't worry about it.
Perma
All fics. I don't do moodboards or HCs, so it is just all fics, series, one-shots, whatnot.
Crimes of Passion only.
It contains all characters and all pairings, though I mostly write for Nora and Trystan and that's pretty much it. I might also dabble in some platonic pairings in the future, so if you're interested in that as well -- look out for them, I suppose?
Open Heart only.
Jane, Ethan, the whole gang. It's OH but everything. All pairings, even though I only ever write Jane and Ethan but I might have some Aurora x OC fics planned (you'll never know).
I honestly don't want to bother with the sub-categories (Ethan x MC, Aurora x OC, etc) so if you want to just be tagged for one specific ship or pairing, you can specify your requests down below.
Wake the Dead only
WTD started off strong and was propelled further with the likes of zombie/apocalypse media that I watched during the time of the book's release (Last of Us, A Quiet Place, etc) but right now, I doubt I'd work on it as vigorously as I would spend writing Crimes fics. If you are interested in this, let me know!
Guinevere only
I haven't like worked on a lot of Guinevere fics, because I actually.. haven't finished Guinevere yet. I know, I know. I'm a terrible person. I still have 4-5 chapters to go and I'm collecting a lot of diamonds to pay for all the scenes, so apologies lmao. I mostly would write for MC x Artura because Artura is the GOAT. I also haven't prepared a masterlist for that, so maybe I'll do that in the coming days. Either way, let me know if you'd like to be tagged for Guinevere!
Onwards to the future works that I've planned!
Blades of Light and Shadow only
Aroace MC, adventure, song, dance - it's got everything and more. I have already planned my character and I can't wait for you to learn more about her. And also it's almost Bolas season, all the more reason to write Blades fics. I haven't started to work on any Blades-specific fics yet, but if you'd like to be tagged for them, let me know!
And that is all for now!
However, I will be putting out this one-off one shots from other books like MoTY, MaH and other books that have interested me. They're just like.. extra stuff, not exactly strictly restricted to a masterlist but sort of there to diversify my book palette so to speak. The problem with selecting books to write fics for is that, I don't know where to even start. Sometimes I'm sort of in a fix and that's just terrible. So if you want me to write a specific pairing from a specific book or if you'd like me to just explore my MC's story in a book that you enjoy, send me some requests, my asks are always open!
I also don't write explicit stuff, mature scenes or anything of that nature (or even kissing scenes for that matter which explains why half of my MCs are aroace or on the ace-spectrum, but I am trying! It's just hard) so if you're sending requests, do keep that in mind.
And that's it!
If you'd like to be tagged or remain in the same place as you were before, please let me know in the reblogs or in the comments below and make sure you restrict it to just this post! I'd be locking the tag list by June 30th 2023. And the new tag list will come into effect by July 1st.
If you do not wish to be tagged, you don't have to respond to this message at all. There'll be no hard feelings, so you wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Cheers!
Mads.
(yes i apologise for the good omens gif, ik it has been like 3 days since the trailer came out and im still in a permanent state of panic)

I sincerely apologise if you've commented or reblogged anywhere to be tagged and I haven't done that. That's precisely why I even decided to do this cleanup after a while, to sort of reset the whole thing and start afresh. Plus Tumblr for some reason, keeps eating some of my notifications so I have no idea what to make of it at this point.
Thank you so much for your interest! I'll see you soon!
- Mads.

Why I won't answer questions about (most) character headcanons
Hi everyone! I plan to add this stuff to my FAQ after I finish typing up this post, but I wanted to address it here too.
I addressed something similar in my Why I won’t answer questions like “How do you feel about a ship between [Character] x [Character]?” post a little while back, but I figured I should reiterate the same principles here because they apply here too.
If you send me an ask relating to headcanons for characters (especially if the headcanon is in regards to something as nuanced as race, gender, and sexuality , etc) I am most likely not going to answer it because, again, there's no good way to answer these questions.
If I say "Yes, I like that headcanon!" that could be seen as me approving it AS canon and causing confusion onto whether it is or isn't canon. Especially if it's in regard to topics like, again, race/gender/sexuality/etc.
If I say "No, I don't like that headcanon" then YOU the asker will feel bad! Some headcanon asks are okay, but for the most part there's no good or easy or fun way to answer these asks, so I'm probably not going to.
Bonus: And why I'm not interested in answering most "fun fact" asks anymore!
I used to take these kind of requests for characters, where people would ask for Fun Facts about a character and I would provide a short list. For fun or because I had not talked much about them yet, whatever! But now it's become a pattern to receive these kind of questions, and often times I just don't have anything to say, or anything I did want to say was already covered! And repeating myself over and over is no fun and gets tedious! It feels as though I am being put on the spot to just come up with "fun facts" out of the blue and I just...can't do that!
(Y'know when someone asks what your favorite song is and you immediately forget all music you've ever listened to? It's like that.)
So if there's something you'd like to know about a character, please do try to be specific! It'll be easier for me to answer if I'm able to and I'll probably have more fun with it too! (As a reminder, I tag all my posts with the character's names so you can search through my archive or [https://arcadekitten.tumblr.com/tagged/charactername] so you can find stuff relating to the character easier!)
Thanks you guys!! I really like getting asks and being able to answer them to the best of my ability, but some questions I just...can't really do that with, so I thank you for understanding! ♡

Tag 7 People You'd Like to Know Better!
AH catching up on tag games :3 Thank you to @boethiahspillowbook for tagging me in this!! (Here's their answers!) I haven't done a non-writing one in some time now so I figured -- why not? Tagging: @paraparadigm, @changelingsandothernonsense, @thana-topsy, @thequeenofthewinter, @kookaburra1701, @gilgamish, and @archangelsunited and, even though it's more than 7 people, YOU. Yep, tag me back if you do this one. :>
I suppose the rules are just babble about the questions asked herein!
Last song: What the Water Gave Me - the demo version by Florence + The Machine
Florence + The Machine is my favorite band ever, ever. So lots of their music is on pretty much all of my playlists. I was listening to my favorites list while I was writing yesterday and that's the one that cropped up last.
Currently watching: TV? Shows? I don't know her. I actually don't make much time for tv at all. I will catch a couple shows a year but they have to be really compelling for me to want to spend the time on that.
Currently reading: OOh a good time to share a few of the open fanfics I'm in the middle of right now! First four tabs but I have something like 14 or 15 open right now I rotate through. Hollow Men by @thana-topsy Gathering Souls by @paraparadigm and @polypolymorph Serious Mistakes by @changelingsandothernonsense In The Midst of Winter by @thequeenofthewinter I am also still reading The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by SA Chakraborty, which is admittedly fun and excellent, but I'm on a fanfic kick right now. My friends are fricken phenomenal authors, to be perfectly honest. And how often can you jump on discord and keyboard smash with your favorite authors about your favorite stories? This is why fandom can be so much fun when it's not being weird. :>
Current obsession: ...I'm a fanfic writer, what do you think my obsession is?
Okay, fine, TES is obvious. I can share a couple other things I suppose. :>
First is hand binding sketchbooks!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is an older one but still a fave because it turned out super pretty :D It's a watercolor sketchbook I made for my friend.
idk there's just something super relaxing about not having to think once the entire project is set up and it's down to sewing the signatures together. Huge fan of the zen of making these and even though I don't personally need more sketchbooks I will often just make one for the hell of it. I'm also learning how to do case binding but it's messier than this.
The other is fountain pens! I don't do layout posts anymore like I used to, but I can still share some of them -- I use the inks in artwork all the time and anything I write on paper is usually done in fountain pens. My favorite ones to use right now are TWSBI Ecos -- specifically a white and rose gold one :> My favorite ink is LAMY Dark Violet but it's discontinued...so I am sparing with that one lol
Here's some old aesthetic posts I used to do for fun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway yes. That's all I've got for now. This was funnnnn LOL so I mean, yeah feel free to tag yourself if I didn't tag you! I'd love to see everyone else's other hobbies.
