how are you meg? 🤗🤗🤗
today I noticed I have exams in two weeks and I freaked out over everything I have to do till then, but my partner sat down with me and helped me set priorities and allocate time periods for everything so I don't get paralyzed by how much I have to get done 🥹🥰 I didn't even have to ask him for help he could tell I needed it so he offered to 🥺 so I'm gonna be stressed but I will survive! hope you're doing well!! 💌
I'm okay!! Woke up to my headache finally gone so all's better, but then remembered I was supposed to do some pre class reading which I completely forgot about so sort of anxious (bc i really like this prof and wanna do good in their class) but woot!! Prioritizing for the win, I'm so glad your partner helped you allocate time to things in an organized manner, that's so important especially bc exams seem so overwhelming that figuring out how to deal w them wins you half the contest haha!! You'll do great, don't worry about it, good luck!! 💖

WiP Wednesday - Meaner Cleaner Crew
Turns out I’m still in love with the Catra is a window washer and Glimmer is some sort of corporate executive story that’s a meet cute. And also hilarious imo. Whole ass scene below the cut!
Glimmer had waited all day, the shirt ordered months before and stashed in her office ready to take her shot. Mid month, like clockwork, she saw the window washer’s van and scurried to her office to quickly change into the shirt. For one moment she imagined them swinging down while she was changing, which was hot but also only hot in fantasy land. So off came the blouse, on went the tee with shocking speed, and within an hour she was rewarded.
For a moment Glimmer worried she’d gone too far when their ears went limp and tail fluffed out, but then they got back into their usual routine with a few additional dick drawings before vanishing.
She had a laugh, a hearty chuckle, and got back to work.
Forgetting about the shirt until she was washing her hands in the bathroom where a large woman with massive red claws saw her and gasped. Or. Well. Shouted- “OH MY GOSH! Meaner Cleaner crew- what up!!!”
“Wha!?” Glimmer yelped, scared by the shouting before looking down, realizing she’d worn the tee shirt all day. Like, at all her meetings and everything all day. That kind of literal all day. Oh her mom was gonna kill her. “Y-yeah! Love the videos! And the work here too, a-ha!”
Could she be more awkward?
“Nice, nice, nice! I’m Scorpia, I designed that lil guy.” She pointed a claw out, accidentally poking one of Glimmer’s boobs and apparently unaware of having done so. Probably the price one pays for claws. “Wow, Catra’s gonna be thrilled when I tell them I saw Mucket in the wild! You know, mucket ‘cause he’s a mean bucket and it sounds almost like muppet.”
Was Glimmer about to be a big jerk? Probably. But if Scorpia had claws and, now that she’d squeezed into the small restroom Glimmer could see a giant stinger, then Catra might be- “Is that the magicat? I see them every time! Highlight of the day.”
Scorpia nodded enthusiastically, “Yup, that’s our Catra alright!” and then she smiled wickedly, in a manner Glimmer would not have suspected the excitable woman to be capable of. “I’m guessing your the reason they always take that side of the building?”
“Y-yeah? I mean, I don’t know why they always do my side, but I’m really glad!”
“Mmmhmm, so I think-”
“Czar Scorpia, please heed my humble plebeian pleading and stop blocking the door. I gotta piss super bad!” The voice was high pitched and when they spoke louder it was a little rough, but it was jovial and Glimmer felt herself blushing to her roots as Scorpia’s wicked smile went pure evil.
Her mother had always warned her to be careful with first impressions as you can never take them back. There was no taking this train wreck back.
“Sure thing Catra, I was just chatting with a lovely lady who’s MEANER CLEANER CREW FOR LIFE!! Woot woot!”
Scorpia then delicately, apologizing profusely, maneuvered her way around Glimmer to the largest stall, squishing her against the sink a tiny bit in her quest to both use the bathroom and make space. Catra ducked out of the way of her swinging stinger and then Glimmer was real life face to face with her long-time crush.
Oh no.
Her brain unhelpfully added, “Don’t forget the dorky shirt you bought as a gag.”
Oh no!
“Hi!” She chirped right as Catra started laughing. Oh it was as endearing and annoying and captivating and obnoxious as she’d always known. Glimmer was fucked. “Rude.”
“You look like a bad meme!” Was Catra’s half gasped contribution between cackling.
Her time had come. All those hours sunk into vine were finally paying off. “Okay, first of all? I look good in this shirt. And second of all I look good in this shirt! Third of all, I look good in this shirt. So don’t tell me I don’t look good in this shirt!”
“Oh fuck, I gotta pee.” Catra moaned skittering into the nearest stall.
“Just admit you couldn’t come up with anything great in response!” Glimmer called out right as what sounded like a rain gutter after a heavy downpour started up. “Okay, I stand corrected.”
“Catra, don’t be gross!” Scorpia tried to whisper.
“She laughed at my dick earlier, I’m in the clear.”
“UhM!?”
Glimmer could not salvage this, but by god she was gonna try anyways, “Nononono! Not their literal dick, like, dick drawings, I laughed at their dick drawings!”
“Am I interrupting something?” Angella asked, half in the bathroom and looking somehow both offended and delighted.
“Mom! NO!”
It was too late, Catra was howling with laughter again as Scorpia frantically called out, “Be cool Wild Cat, that’s our boss out there!”
“What in the world- what are you wearing?” Angella’s face was going red, eyes wild as she looked at the tee shirt that Glimmer forgot she was wearing again.
Scorpia was (of course) the one who called back, “Meaner Cleaner Crew! Woot woot!”
“I’M LEAVING!” Glimmer shrieked, fleeing the bathroom back to her office. “Bye mom, talk to you later orneveragainwhichevercomesfirstbye!”
“Glimma!”
But she was out in a flash and locked her office door before calling her assistant. “Frosta, if anyone asks, I’m dead today, chance of resurrection tomorrow.”
“Whatever.”
God she was so unbelievably fucked!

for @elphabaoftheopera
WOOT WOOOOOT!!! TO CELEBRATE THE FINAL CHAPTER BEING RELEASED, ME AND MYSTIC THOUGHT OF A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS TO ANSWER IN REGARDS TO LFAY!!!!!!!!!!! TO SHOW OUR GRATITUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What was your overall experience / journey reading the fic?
esper / melop-sia: when i started reading, i was instantly hooked. i genuinely don't think i have liked a fic this much as this one. i loved it so much that id actively check my gmail inbox every hour or so to see if a new chapter was posted 🥲 the most chapters i read in a row was 6, and that was when i first discovered the fic!!! after, i became a slow reader and soaked up every little description you wrote because i didn't wanna miss anything– thats probably why i noticed so many parallels 😁!! doing that also let me take it your writing and it's awesome! even awesome enough to get me back into reading stuff! hell, this fic was a reason why i bought gregory maguire's wicked novel 😅 it lit back a love for reading that i hadn't seen for a few years at least! and back to parallels, they were undoubtedly a key part of enjoyment in my journey with lfay! i always got so excited when i found one and wouldn't hesitate to kick around all energised 🥳🥳 im so glad that you went the extra mile by adding the parallels, it vastly improved my reading experience!
mystic / mystic-oni: Okay I've gotta admit I'm not usually the romantic type but they r so cute omgggggg 🥺
I think if i could change anything about the story or my experience reading it i would leave everything the same. It was just something fun, exciting and immersive i could go to after a rough day and although I am guilty of sometimes having one or two chapters stacked up after forgetting to read 😅, I was never finding myself not wanting to read it unless I was trying to savour it for a time when I would need it most. Plus gave me something extra to talk about with esper/melop-sia 😁😁😁
Especially if we were both reading a chapter at the same time. O ye and the characters are so well done and like the ones we all know so sometimes i just forget i'm reading something fan made because it's that good. I actually sometimes finding myself just melding the two together on accident (i mean thats probably expected considering i'm still somewhat new to the wicked fandom but still it wouldnt be possible if the characters weren't portrayed accurately)!
What about the AU stood out to you (in comparison to the adapted material)?
esper: i think what really stood out to me was how much more you fleshed out each character in comparison to the musical. i loved how you gave everyone another layer of personality along with the ones already set by the musical, yet keeping dialogue and interactions so on point 💓! one thing that is so important to me is a character's personality being accurate. i have so much less enjoyment with a fic when characters are written completely different to their "source", so it was a relief and delight to see the consistent characterisation ⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! a bit off topic but i also really liked how you included some references from the book!
mystic: Well, i've only seen one of the musicals on yt (so far, might read the book cuz esper has it and she said she could lend it to me after they had finished it 😁😁). I really felt though from my experience with wicked (not much but anyways 😅) it really fleshed out more of the characters, like how elphaba has nyctophobia cuz it just added another like, obstacle and really added to her character and existing challenges. Also like the letters were a crucial part of moving this fic away from the original material, im rlly proud of myself because while it was in the part of the story where letters were most important, i noticed a lot of familiarity with something but i couldn't figure out what. Then i remembered i had seen the movie "You've got mail" and it was one of the inspirations which i love and made me enjoy the story even more just because it felt familiar in a way.
What was your favourite chapter? Why?
esper: wooof that is a hard questionn 😯😯 i have a few favourites, but ill try to limit it to one or two...... after a bit of thinking, i think i have to say 11 and 19: each for pretty different reasons admittedly 😅. for one, i loved 19 particularly because of how sweet the fiyeraba date was!!! it was the [infodumping gf] and [polite listening bf] dynamic that i lovee so much 🥺🥺🥺 it was so cuteee!!!! the angst was saddening to say the least, but i really enjoyed how you wrote their dialogue and how they finally came to an agreement.
and. onto 11. that chapter was just insane /pos. it was so good i reread it multiple times and thought about it for a while and, at the same time was utterly speechless. i can say one thing though: the yearning. THE YEARNING!!!!!!!! the yearning was so good dudee!!!!!! i usually don't even like yearning but it was just wild how caught up they were both getting and the suspense was palpable. it was so impactful and therefore one of my favourites. close runner up for most favourites is 9 i loved how it finally broke down the established initial barrier and tension between elphaba and fiyero in an engaging way!! another runner up is 21 for an awesome sequence of scenes that made me feeeellll 🥺 soon to be elaborated on!
mystic: Oke im gonna be honest, in order to answer this question i found myself skimming over a lot of chapters that i had remembered i liked and i cant decide on one because they were all so great or had an important event that i couldn't compare to other chapters. I was planning on going into specifics but since i'm so torn im gonna save it for the moments question 😭
Tysm for the indecisiveness cuz all ur chapters are soo good u should be proud. Also it gave me a reason to look back to try and find my favourite and although i didnt get a clear result it was really refreshing reading the older chapters again.
What was your favourite scene or moment? Why?
esper: I HAVE A FEW FOR THIS ONE TOO!!! the first one that comes to mind is fiyero getting to kick jozsef's ass 😁 i absolutely loved how he got back at him after so long and im just a sucker for people getting what they deserve 🥳!!! it was an awesome inclusion and i was so satisfyed with how that turned out. alsooo i loved fiyeraba's bickering pre-museum break in, it definitely wasnt the first or last time i audibly laughed at something in this fic! and elphaba playing go fish with dorothy was hilarious and not near anything i expected for the last chapter of the main story 😅😅😅 that as well as her warming up to dorothy was simply amazing to me!
onto a more wholesome moment, i loved the dance between fiyero and elphie in the empty ozdust, it was such an intimate and romantic moment between them and i couldn't help but love them more after 🥺 following that, the scene of glinda and elphaba making up with each other and becoming friends again! it was just amazing and all around so pleasant to read!!! another few follow ups, glinda confronting fiyero and forgiving him, as well as starting the party! it was a nice flow of funny to touching and then hopeful!
mystic: oke for me its gotta be those bits where elphie does something cool or funny, like in chapter five when Jozsef was tryna splash her with water and she just dumped it all back on him, like that was pretty badass. Also the petition bit in chapter 7 had me dyinggggggg 💀💀💀 (especially the intimidation and fear, i found it pretty funny and also smart how they used that to get people to support their cause). Also the closet bit in chapter nine was really memorable, and exciting to read and I think most people really liked that part. Just the awkwardness and tensionnnnnn aaaaaaah!!! 😁🥲👏👏👏
Okay, and im sure the Ozdust in chapter 13 had everyone on the edge of their seats (Depending on whether u were sitting 😅) when all the secrets were revealed and the truth was spilled everywhere. Ending with quick escape and a great cliffhanger that kept everyone wondering about the chapters to come. There are so, so, so many more but I end up forgetting where after I try to reread (maybe i should have written notes or something idk 😆). Once again thank you so much for making these truly ✨magical✨ moments for people to enjoy.
Thoughts on the ending / last chapter?
esper: i know i already wrote my thoughts in a comment before, but now we have the epilogue so i can talk about that too!! for one, i don't think i would've had the ending any other way. 34 just had a great balance between presented aspects: it was heart-warming but bittersweet. not to mention such a satisfactory read after keeping up for the last month or two!
honestly im so happy about 35!!! honestly after the roller coaster of the "act 2 chapters" im glad we got a tonn of fluff. it was a wonderful peek into fiyeraba's new life and it was sooo cute 🥺🥺 genuinely loved it so much, another one of my favourite chapters❣️ im glad their story got to continue on into a fulfilling lifestyle for both of them 💗💗💗
mystic: Perfect. I didn't think too much about the last chapter before I read it because i didn't really want to go in with a predetermined idea of what I thought would happen because I just knew it might ruin the experience although I was very excited for it and did ponder for... maybe a minute or two 👀, and I came to the conclusion that I wasn't really sure where they would be next, but the fact they got to be together in the end without disturbance was good enough for me. I feel like the mood and especially the dialogue at the end of the chapter and just everything was more than I could have wanted, it was really good and never did I expect she would still be able to help the animals even after she moved and decided to try and just live a quiet, worry-free and normal life with Fiyero. Also just about the chapters before the epilogue, which i also really enjoyed, like how well Elphie got along with Dorothy, how she ultimately beat her final obstacle - her enemy since the beginning, the dark. Also Glinda in charge and Morrible in prison 😈✨🥳 yayyyyy 🎊
Final thoughts
esper: i thank you so much for this fic, it has really helped me through these few weeks and i commend you for making a fic worth all the praise given and more!!!!! im a little sad to see this journey over now, but im glad i was able to be part of it and get my friend into it too! ill likely be rereading as well as consuming some of your past content in waiting for your next project!! i really hope to experience that too 💖 sending much love and support
mystic: One of the only times that I can't help myself from writing "also" way too much because there are so many things I loved about this. Love, Fae & Yero was an adventure that I really felt apart of, and I hope I'm not too attached to let go of it now 😭😭😭
Me and esper spent a while writing this and they and I really want to thank you for your hard work, we tried to have this finished by a certain time and spent a while thinking of our questions as well as the most important things we should say. Hope we weren't too late 😅
AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WRITING!!!!!
FROM ESPER AND MYSTIC 💚❤💖

100/100 WOOT!
5/5
I am not changing the goal again- so any more after this are just bonuses.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am so glad I was finally able to finish this series. I absolutely loved it. I want to get my hands on the novellas that are apart of this series.
With this and The Murderbot Diaries done I am ready to start a new Sci-Fi series. I already have the first book of The Expanse and want to start that one next.

17 and 27 for end of year fandom asks?
Hi Bee! Thank you so much sending me an ask 🤗
17. WIP you hope gets updated next year
@zairaalbereo The Miracle of Love
I'm biased because I got to beta this one, but I'm sort of just desperate to know how it ends lol
27. Best fandom moment of the year
YOU WANT ME TO PICK ONE??? Beeeeeee please don't do this to me, how can I possibly contain my excitement enough to narrow it down to one thing over any other?? How can I even begin to apply any sort of ranking system to the pure joy of fandom things??? AHHHHHHH -
Okay, uh, let me share my most recent answered ask about happy things because that definitely covers it, too (so that's like four between the PH server, IWTV, the IWTV bigbang and the LMZine) but alsoplusalso uh:
ofmd, and the mod book, Nav’s return, participating in my first zine via the @ofmdzine and also helping raise money via the @fandomtrumpshate event, OH and of course getting to draw (and write) for the @oldguardbigbang (and I received my first fanart for something I've done, like ever! Thanks to the lovely @angels-and-aliens ). Getting to beta more and nurturing more friendships (including you!), and (though it's never about the numbers) one of my art pieces went over 200 notes! Last year I had one that went over 100 and I almost went into the puddle on the floor lol. So woot woot, I'm glad it brought joy to whoever stumbled across it ❤️ And then of course, wrapping up some WIPs and launching an important story to me with my dark fic, and OOOHHH just knowing we'll be getting more of OFMD, Good Omens, and IWTV soooonish (I mean, I was around for the whole ass year it took them to announce a TOG sequel so I'm desensitized lol, what's waiting a few months between production?? Lol). And oooh! Finally getting to devour Stranger Things (mom life with Littles lol), and EDDIE MUNSON but also Stede and Louis and gahhhhhh -
SEE I COULD NEVER HAVE NARROWED IT THIS DOWN lol . . . And I just know that after I hit post, I'll think of five more lol.
But thank you Bee for sending me this one, put a smile on my face ❤️

5D's Episode 27... with an “Uncut” Dub?! (Re-Edited 4Kids Dub/Japanese OST - Revised)
“A World Without Light -- The Dark Synchro Frozen Fitzgerald!”/”A Web of Deceit (Part 1)″
Everybody listen!
Took long enough to finish up and polish (partly because of work and activism life actually picking up a bit), but here’s a brand-new “dub-uncut” episode! With my first few takes in episodes 23-26 newly revised, I was looking forward to working on 27 and starting fresh again, lol. In case this is the first you’re hearing about my mini-project here, let’s get you up to speed:
So, the official Spanish YGO channel on YouTube flubbed a few uploads of the 5D’s dub such that they ended up uploading a few episodes of the English dub instead of the Latin American dub (21-29)–but with none of 4Kids’s background music! Which meant that I could swoop in and re-insert the original Japanese soundtrack (which I did by matching each track to how it was looped in the episode), but I wanted to do more by also tweaking the dub itself so that not only was it matching the original footage, but the dialogue was more in line with the original dialogue timing-wise (since I couldn’t salvage much of what they changed).  Hence, the “dubbed uncut” gimmick here.  To this end, I’ve also used dialogue from Duel Links where applicable, or even borrowed audio from other episodes with the vocals isolated to lend to that effect.
Check out the masterpost of episodes I’ve done here!
Check out this episode’s WIP videos! WIP #1     WIP #2     WIP #3   WIP #4   WIP #5
So, this one was fun to do particularly because overall, save for the, er... butchering that happened on explaining the Dark Synchro mechanic (4Kids wut) and the rewrite of Carly’s interaction with her Editor-in-Chief (and making Carly a “blogger” lol), the dialogue was already more or less in line with the Japanese version, which meant that I was more or less just removing a lot of the fluff as I added back the OST.  As I did in 22, 24, and 26, I added subs for the scenes where 4Kids rewrote things a bit too much for my taste (so, the scenes I mentioned above, but also the occasional line or a few), but of course these subs will be optional in the MKV I release on NAC for this.  I also added back some SFX and tried to remove the dub’s replacement SFX in most cases, though I had to swap out the SFX as Speed Warrior was tuning with Junk Synchron since 4Kids had a tendency to add some new one over the original SFX and made it too loud to work with the Yusei chant I put there.  And I translated the OP/ED credits in Last Train and CROSS GAME, revamping my singable lyrics a bit for Last Train while drafting new ones for CROSS GAME which I’ll post soon; you can see my Last Train translation in the second WIP video and CROSS GAME’s here. Full process breakdown below the cut.
Also, major thanks to yugidmx5 for providing A+ rips of the “The Day Begins/Tenpei” theme in the Carly/Angela scene, the “Vision of Tragedy” theme as Yusei and Ruka talk about the Satellite’s future, and the alternate “Dark Signers” tune which plays as we first see them and then again between the Dark Signer drones recruiting and Yusei chasing Dark-Signer!Dick down (before it transitions to the OST-released version once Yusei gets to the building under construction); I know that since these came out well, he’s working on better rips for some or most of the unreleased OST, so stay tuned there (I also drafted up a full version of the alternate DS theme, but had to get creative since they didn’t play all of it in this alternate style; will post soon).  And thanks to Tiny Spider Productions, who provided the “shock” SFX playing as Carly sees Yusei’s arm actually glowing in her car, some inspo here/there for dialogue fixes, and provided CurtisH from CastingCallClub’s recording he did voicing a line from Tanner translating the original line about the four Signers they know which 4Kids cut short.
I hope folks enjoy! Just breezing through 28 often for lines to use here, I can tell it’s going to be a headache because they did throw in a lot more jankiness in the dialogue... So, fun. 🙃 Once I handle finalizing my subs for GX 56 (and possibly 57 due to how long this took), I’ll start drafting it out; stay tuned~ 
(And if you're able to reblog for visibility, it’d be appreciated given Tumblr’s suckage with links 🙏🏽)
Breakdown, breakdown~
So, I used Duel Links audio for the twins to handle the Noteworthy/Showcased Cards bit (we’ll see if I still can in 28... And as the twins are voiced by Eileen Stevens in Duel Links but not yet in 5D’s [that happens in 65], bear with me lol), and I also translated the sign for this hardsub in Photoshop, masking in the Fitzgerald card and Rua and Ruka’s heads over it in Sony Vegas.  
Moving to the episode proper, a second was trimmed from the shot of the stadium in the TV Rally/co are using once it tunes in, and I couldn’t properly loop the “Yusei!” shouts to cover it, so I just filled in the audio with the crowd just cheering.  In the Carly/Angela scene, I removed Angela’s extra lines about her makeup and hair while Carly was getting ready, then tweaked Angela’s line on camera to remove her last name (which we never learn originally) and move her lines about “Fusei Yudo” winning to play sooner while removing Carly’s “one journalist to another” as she walks up to correct her (as this scene was rewritten, there are subs to show the original dialogue).  Looped chants of “Yusei!” to remove his internal “pointing out the obvious” monologue before the OP.
After the OP, I used the JP audio to keep the doctors moving Jack quiet (hopefully you don’t notice the chants changing lol), then as Yanagi runs over, I replaced his bit about Yusei having “a brand new enemy” in the media with “we should all get going” from 26.  The Godwin/Lazar scene stays the same since it was accurate, but I did have to put the end of Rex’s “that’s the only thing that matters” line on another track so Lazar’s gasp would play when it should (they added a second to his talking in the dub).  The Yusei/co scene in the tunnel stays mostly the same, just switched to the JP audio as the flashback to the Satellite vision happened, then as Yusei had a quick one before gasping, I recycled a gasp and a “hmm” from elsewhere to cover the commercial-inducing monologue they gave him in the dub.  For the press conference scene, I thought about removing the one “That’s right, Ted” reporter’s line since he’s quiet originally, but thought “whatever,” and then I spaced out Carly’s line as she reads her fortune to match her Japanese line’s pace and remove some of the fluff.  I switched to the JP audio after Carly asked about Yusei’s arm glowing to remove Rex’s comment over it, then stitched up a “Perhaps; still, I didn’t see that” mixing his line there with a “still” from 23.  Carly’s line as she’s excited about Goodwin dodging her question (originally just “I’ll keep moving forward too!” [she references her fortune a lot more]) was longer in the dub, so I cut out the “which means I’m onto something” for use later.  For Carly’s chat with her Editor-in-Chief, I included subs because of the rewrite, but I did shorten Carly’s line just before “bring some dirt and you might still have a job” which was lengthened by 4Kids.  Removed a lot of Carly’s fluff as she began to watch the Yusei duel footage via the JP audio, then stitched together “Goodwin tried to give me that bit but [the whole world will know what Goodwin’s trying to hide]”, the latter bit coming from Carly’s monologue as she’s running at the end of the ep, then switched to the JP audio to remove Carly’s fluff about living in her car.  Then, as we see the Dark Signers looming, because 4Kids removed the commercial break here, I kept only Demak and Kalin’s chuckling and Roman’s “lower the curtains” line over the desk shot, then looped some of his laughing from after the eyecatch to lead into it.
After the eyecatch, I made use of his “Goodwin assembled his Signers” bit, recycled a little chuckling, then cut Roman’s reference to Shakespeare to just the “tangled web” line (thanks to yugidmx5 also providing the SFX for this scene, I was able to move Roman’s laughing to play where it should after he releases his spiders).  Moving to Yanagi drawing the Crimson Dragon, I only kept his “saw it the once” line while using Japanese Rua and Ruka’s interested gasps to fill a fluff gap, then combined two bits of audio to get a [slightly] awkward “t[ail]” to fix 4Kids’s dumb error claiming he had the Head birthmark; accordingly, made Leo say “What about it?” instead of “What about the Head?”.  CurtisH’s line for Tanner comes in here, with a slight tweak or two to match the lip-flaps more, then JP audio as we see all the Signers so far to remove Leo’s dialogue.  Meanwhile, for Jack’s hospital scene, I translated the “No Visitors” sign Mikage walks past (along with fixing “Atlus” to “Atlas”).  The Dark Signer recruitment scene also gets some subs, then I used the JP audio from when we see Dark Signer!Dick walking to Yusei’s birthmark beginning to glow; yugidmx5 providing the SFX was a big help here, too.  Yusei runs out to chase Dick down, and then when he sees him inside the under-construction building, I took “Who are you” from later in the episode, but added a more question-ending “u?” to flesh the sound out a bit (since the line was “Who are you and what’s going on”).  I took “Fine, then” and “What are you planning to do to the Satellite” from 28 (which I’ll likely cut as it was added offscreen dialogue), and TSP provided a vocal-isolated cut of Dick’s line about his master (because 4Kids cut his shot short by a second or two and played it as the SFX for the zoomout as his Disk activated played).  
They begin the duel, and here I just kept “What’s going on?” from the line I noted earlier, recycled some laughing from Dick to match the JP script, then shortened his line about their being offered up “by the light” to work with the new timing.  Dick begins his turn, but I recycled an “It’s my turn now” line from later for accuracy, then his setting-a-card line is cut short at his ending his turn as Yusei looks on.  Carly, driving nearby and seeing lights from the duel off in the distance, gets her reference to the Goodwin “sheen from Yusei’s Runner got in your eye” line that I cut replaced with the “I’m onto something” I noted before.  Yusei gets a recycled “It’s my move!” line from 24 to start his turn, tweaked to remove the drawing SFX that happens in it, then to remove a dub SFX I used a Duel Links line to fill out “I activate the Tuning [Spell Card]”.  “I summon Junk Synchron” comes from 24 (and “Level-2-or-below Monster from my Graveyard” comes from his Graceful Revival explanation in episode 3), then--thanks to Arian over on NAC reuploading some HQ dub episodes--a better-quality vocal rip of his “Level-3 Junk Synchron, tune with Level-2 Speed Warrior!” line from 87, along with a better-quality rip of his “From two come one” chant and “Form the road of light!” from Duel Links.  Yusei shouts “Battle!” from Duel Links, then I slowed down his line at “[Attack his Blizzard Li]zard” to end it there (and remove the “warm Satellite welcome” fluff).  As Blizzard Lizard’s effect activates, I combined an “I activate,” “Blizzard Lizard’s special ability,” and “now” for a better line than “Blizzard Lizard’s special ability is going on.” Yusei’s lines after being damaged and realizing he damaged Dick too are spaced out to match the JP script, then I borrowed Yusei’s line on setting two cards from episode 3.  Then, when Dick plays Ice Mirror, I stitched up an explanation (since the Card Interruption does it for him) combining Call of the Haunted’s explanation with a few other pieces of dialogue (thanks to TSP for the inspo).  I cut Dick’s “Now I’ll play” line there to remove the dub’s zooming-in SFX, and then made Dick’s line about his third Blizzard Lizard end right before the split-screen with all three of them to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX.  I thought about replacing Yusei’s “three’s a crowd” line with “What’s that all about” from later, but couldn’t figure out a way to fill the line in before that, so I left it, but didn’t let Dick acknowledge it by just recycling “With that done” to replace “Well, how about [I release]”, then after Yusei reacts to his Dark Tuner, I recycled some chuckling to match the JP script and trimmed his line about its “power to extinguish;” the Dark Synchro “explanation” gets some subs to actually explain it, then I looped Carly’s panting as she runs to cover the “Goodwin’s trying to hide” line I moved to earlier, and recycled/amplified Dick’s laughing at various points through the ep to remove Yusei’s episode-ending monologue.
In the preview, I just recycled Yusei’s “No way...” and “A Dark Synchro Summon?!” while borrowing Carly’s lines about the Dark Tuner from 28, then Yusei’s line about getting his answers to end it.  I had to speed up the OST version of the preview tune to match the pace here, then trimmed it and ended it with the JP audio for the quick fade-out.

Let It Snow
Title: Let It Snow (AO3 Link)
Pairing: Ignis/F!Reader
Warnings: none
Word Count: 1084
Summary: In which it’s your and Ignis’ anniversary and you two decide the revisit the place where it all began. (For Ignis Fluff Week. Day 4: Canon? What canon? + “Happy (Holiday), Ignis.”)
[First] [Previous] [Next]
Tagging: @ignisfluff @amicitonia @nemo-ne-impune-lacessit @kerrtrash @roses-and-oceans @alicemoonwonderland @for-lack-of-a-better-world @kawaiinekorose @themissimmortal @misssarahdoll @tales-of-a-fallen-star @ponkita @crazykruemel @bluebell-lucy
“Ignis, do you remember the day we met?”
He looked to you, taking you in. You were bundled to the nines, your outfit made up of a fashionable winter trench coat, mittens, a red scarf (one that he was sure belonged to him), and a well-worn Santa hat upon your head. The fallen snowflakes rested on your eyelashes and in the hair that was uncovered by your hat and on your shoulders, shimmering, but their brightness was naught compared to the brightness in your smile as you stared up at him.
He wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you close and staring into those love-filled eyes of yours. “For the most part.” As if he could ever forget the day he met you. “If I remember correctly, this is the exact park we met in, as well.”
You nodded and hummed, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. “It is. I helped you build a snowcastle, and you taught me the word beholden.” You kissed him again, giggling. “Still my favorite word.”
He went to reply, but you wriggled out of his arms before he could, a dazzling smile upon your lips as you twirled around in the gently drifting snow. “Come on, Ignis,” you sang, kneeling and gathering snow into a pile. “For old time’s sake?”
Ignis smiled fondly, moving to kneel at your side. “Of course.” He pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead, then began gathering snow along with you.
You instructed each other as you tried your best to make a replica of the snowcastle from your childhood. Even with more experienced hands and more snow to work with, between all the giggling and distracted building and the snowball fight you’d accidentally (purposely) started, the structure ended up looking more like a lump than a castle.
You dodged the snowball he threw at you, sticking your tongue out at him as you gathered snow to prepare a projectile of your own. “You’re gonna have to throw faster than that to catch me, Scientia!”
“Then perhaps I should change tactics!” He called. He charged forward at you and got a snowball directly to the chest for his efforts. It didn’t slow him down, and he captured your squealing form in his arms, smushing the snow from his jacket between the two of you. “Gotcha,” he said, laughing and spinning you around before nuzzling into your hat, almost making it slide off of your head.
“Ignis, you egg!” You managed to free your arms from his embrace, fixing your hat with a small pout before wrapping your arms around his shoulders, pulling him close and pressing your foreheads together.
“Egg?” He questioned, watching bemusedly as the corners of your eyes crinkled from a smile and mirth sparkled within. his lips quirked. “Did you just call me an egg?”
“Yessir!” You wriggled from his grasp once more, skipping away from him and to a more pristine patch of snow, where you again knelt and began gathering snow. “Wanna build a snowman?”
Ignis stood speechless for a moment, simply taking in your radiance -- he’d swear up and down that you were a goddess of snow, that your beauty surpassed even that of Shiva herself, that he was the luckiest man alive to be called yours -- before smiling and shaking his head at your antics, joining you with a chuckle.
The snowman turned out significantly better than the snowcastle, the little being coming up to about his waist level, formed by three nearly perfectly round snowballs. You shooed Ignis away, sending him off to gather exactly ten small rocks while you left in search of the two sticks for the arms.
When he returned, he couldn’t stop his eyebrows from raising as you put the finishing touches on the head of the snowman. “He looks like… me.”
“Yep!” And you looked so proud of yourself, your joy was infectious. You turned to him, taking the rocks from his arms and placing them in their appropriate positions, the snowman soon decked out with a smiling face and three buttons down his middle. “And for the finishing touches…” you trailed, unraveling your scarf and wrapping it around the neck of the snowman. You then approached Ignis with a mischievous glint in your eye and a smirk on your face, and he only got as far as a single backward step before you made your move, taking his glasses right off of his face and instead putting them on that of the snowman.
You turned round with a grin, gesturing to the wintry being. “Ignis, meet Eggnis.” Ignis could only stare, jaw dropped, as you moved behind the snowman, grabbing its arms and waving them around. “That’s it! I’ve come up with a new recipe!” you said, mimicking his voice in an exaggerated tone.
Ignis chuckled, correcting you gently. “Recipeh, my dear.”
“Recipeh!” you sang, then continued, “Goodness, the cupboard, it’s completely empty!” The snowman threw his arms up, and Ignis could only imagine it falling into a rather dramatic pose. “Oh, woe is me, the market is closed and we’ve run out of Ebony! Oh, my beloved Ebony, I love thee more than anything else on this star, even more than chiffon cake--”
Ignis stepped forward, shaking his head fondly and plucking his glasses off of the snowman’s nose and placing them back onto his own. “That’s simply not true, my dear. There is something that I love much more than Ebony.”
You stood, dusting the snow off of your scarf and pulling it back on. “And what would that be?”
“You.” With that, he pulled you into his arms, cupping your face with one hand and pulling you in for a slow, chaste kiss. He could feel you smile into the kiss and his own lips tilted up as well. You were the one that pulled away, pressing your foreheads together and wrapping your arms around his waist.
“Gosh…” you muttered, unable to keep the smile off of your face. “You’ve got me all kinds of scrambled, you egg.” You kissed him again, your next words drifting to his ears just as the snow drifted through the air. “I love you more than my favorite tea. Happy anniversary, Ignis.”
He chuckled into the kiss, pulling you tighter against him. Happy anniversary. Ignis couldn’t remember a happier moment in time than this one, celebrating his first anniversary with you underneath the same fallen snow as the day you met. Doubtlessly, he’d cherish this moment forever.

I wrapped up all of the assignment grading I needed to do for the end of the semester over the weekend. I am so happy to have that weight off my shoulders. All that is left for me are computer graded final quizzes and then calculating final grades (mostly done by computer as well). I’m hoping to submit final grades by the end of the week.
We are leaving for Florida over the weekend. We are driving down together (minus DD), and hoping to get to the airport in time for DH to catch his flight home Sunday night so he can work on Monday. He’ll fly back down to Florida late mid-week to join us after his work week is done for the holidays. It’s all sort of stressful but the best we could do under the circumstances.
DS has a band concert this week. I’m knee deep in wrapping gifts and trying to complete the holiday shopping. It feels like a ton of work but now that I’m done with the bulk of my actual job for the semester, it feels more manageable.
I got out for a walk alone today which felt amazing. I also see my new endocrinologist this week and am hopeful she’ll set a plan in place for me in terms of what’s next. I’m nervous about it all—not gonna lie. I wish it felt easier and less serious but I can’t get ahead of myself. One step at a time.
I’m so glad that DH and I started marriage counseling. It feels good to do something for our relationship even if it’s hard and a little embarrassing to talk about some of the stuff. We are only three sessions in but it feels like it is helping. We see the counselor again this week and then will break until the New Year.
Baby started on ADHD meds. We tried them when he was three and it made things worse. Now that he’s five, we have more options. He started one last week and it seems like it’s doing something. Not a miracle cure by any means, but something. We’ll see how it plays out long term.
NB is p*tty training. Our last kid! Woot! Here’s to hoping we can have some success with it before our 800 hour road trip.
That’s my stream of consciousness for the day.

So yesterday I was at the ER from 1400 to 2200. that's like eight hours in an ER wheelchair. I wasn't a priority (thank god) so I didn't mind waiting as much. but it st but yesterday sucked and I'm not going into work today.
read more if you wanna know? (but its kinda graphic because I'm mostly writing it so i can understand and accept what happened)
So I've been doing keto for about 3 weeks. It's been bad. For more than one reason.
I don't have the mindset for it, and it's hard for me to not feel guilty over wanting/craving other things, and I resent other things for existing. So it's harder for me to make things. I'm recovering from burnout so bad that I managed to force it into cooking rather than, you know, my job. So making food is hard for me. And my husband is dealing with depression and executive dysfunction. We hadn't gone to the store in a few days; there was a little food in the house.
LTDR: if I don't have everything in front of me, sometimes I don't eat or eat enough. burn out with a new diet is a bitch.
So all of that means that yesterday I did not eat breakfast. two days ago, I ate dinner Really Early. So it was about seventeen or eighteen hours before I ate again. When I did eat, it was some cheese and a hard-boiled egg, and I drank some tea.
About five minutes after sitting down to do some paperwork for the move, I noticed I felt weird. So I looked at my Fitbit and saw my heart rate was jacked the fuck up to 120 beats. So I told my husband my heart rate was up.
I ended up fainting less than a minute after that. I threw up on myself, and when my husband got to me, he turned me over to make sure I was on my side. I was choking on what I was throwing up, what I had eaten that morning.
He says I fainted with my eyes open, and I got into the recovery position on my own. I believe him on the first bit, but I think he forgets how much he did.
He's the real MVP. I don't know what I would have done without him.
This was when I woke up. I don't remember what happened after telling him I felt weird, So my husband is terrified, I'm still not feeling anything (the panic and mild pain would come later), and there is blood on the carpet. I hit my face on a marble plaque on the rug because of the move I'm doing soon. So I'm bleeding from that cut. It's small, but face wounds bleed a fuckton
husband feeds me a banana and some goldfish crackers.
So my husband takes me to the nearest ER. It's not military, but hey, Tricare. Unfortunately, he's not allowed in because of covid reasons. So he waits in the parking lot the whole time. I do not like this and do NOT want to repeat this experience EVER. I have anxiety, and not having him with me was terrible.
There I wait. and wait. they take my blood. Leave the tubes in my harm in case I need them later. Thank god for Tricare because I won't have to pay for any of it.
Blood work comes back that my sugar is low, just barely in normal ranges. But everything else looks good.
after eight hours of waiting, seeing many more in-danger patients go in (\there was a baby with a high fever and an awake car crash victim! see them first, please!) I finally get seen.
The ER doc says my cut to my face is small and won't need stitches (woot! - it was on my nose). And that my labs were good.
The ER doc gives me an EKG and tells me my heart looks fine. He's glad that I saw what my Fitbit said for my heart rate; it rules out one of the possible issues. The EKG is good, my blood looks good now, so it was probably a sudden change in blood pressure and low blood sugar combination. They aren't afraid of a concussion, seizure, or any other issues. They think it was a one-off, and I just need to watch myself for a few days.
So I'm not going to work today. My husband is understandably terrified for me and is watching me like a hawk, and I'm just tired.

Speechless
Anddd this officially marks the ending of Ladrien June!! Woot woot!! I hope you guys enjoyed this little series of chapters from me!! If you did, as always lemme know what you though! Also, this chapter does contain a spoiler for Optigami but it’s very brief so it shouldn’t be too bad :)
AO3
Ladybug was struck speechless. Her eyes widened considerably and she stumbled back a few steps, almost falling off the rooftop they were on top of. Shaking slightly, she brought her hand up to cover her mouth. Standing in front of her was Adrien when, only minutes ago, Chat Noir had been standing in her place. She would never have even believed it possible if she hadn’t witnessed him detransform herself. 
They had decided that with Ladybug as the guardian it only made sense for her to know Chat’s identity. At the time, she had thought it through with a clear, level head. After all, it only made sense for her to know. What if Plagg got sick or there was another situation like Optigami where Chat got stuck outside? But she had never even imagined that her partner would be Adrien, the love of her life. Adrien who she had been turning down from the very beginning. It took everything in her to not slap a palm to her forehead.
“L-Ladybug?” Adrien asked hesitantly, his hand coming up to scratch the back of his neck. “A-are you okay? Y-you’re not mad that it’s me... are you?”
She frowned almost immediately, shaking her head so quickly she was surprised that it didn’t fly off. “No, no! Of course not, Adrien. I-I’m mad at myself for not figuring out that it was you sooner. I should have known or at least noticed!” 
He exhaled with relief, his tense shoulders immediately relaxing as he chuckled. Twirling with the ring on his finger, Adrien murmured, “Well, that’s good. I suppose that means I did a good job at hiding my secret identity.”
Ladybug’s gaze softened as she stared at him happily. Nodding her head slowly, she spoke up, “Yes, you did a very good job, Adrien. Especially considering that you’re a celebrity in both forms.”
His mouth popped open in surprise as he blinked at her. She wondered if she said something before he shook it off. “Yeah, I honestly hadn’t realized that you were going to look so shocked when I detransformed. I really thought I had done something wrong.”
“No, never,” she shook her head again, hoping to reassure him. “You did everything right. So right, in fact, that I even chose you to be my partner again. Do you remember Aspik?”
Adrien flushed, a shy smile on his face as he glanced away from her. “I remember. I-I didn’t want to let you down.”
Butterflies swarmed in her chest and she needed to remind herself that she couldn’t freak out here. She was Ladybug, not Marinette. So what if the boy she had been crushing on for ages turned out to be the same boy who flirted with her any chance he got? If she started stuttering and stammering now, he’d know for sure who she was.
Clearing her throat, Ladybug shifted on her feet, placing a hand on his shoulder. He snapped his head back to hers, his glimmering, green eyes meeting her blue ones. Her face warmed but she still squeezed his shoulder. “And you didn’t. We never would have won that fight without Chat Noir and that wasn’t your fault.”
“Thanks, Ladybug.”
It got quiet after that. The two of them simply stared into each other’s eyes, as though they expected the other to step back first. She didn’t want to let him go, though. Her hand tingled pleasantly on his shoulder and she almost wished that she could detransform so that they could be even closer.
Unfortunately, however, their moment was interrupted by a scoff. Immediately, Ladybug scrambled back and away, her eyes wide as she tried to figure out how a civilian got on a rooftop. The sound of someone clearing their throat broke her out of her panic and her gaze shot up to stare at Plagg. There was a knowing smirk on his face as he looked at her before he turned to whine at Adrien, “Now that you two have finally snapped out of your little love-fest can I please have my cheese now?”
Adrien turned a deep shade of red, glaring up at the kwami as he snapped, “It wasn’t a... nevermind.” 
He sighed, reaching into his jacket to grab a piece of cheese. He quickly threw it up into the air and she watched with both awe and horror as Plagg devoured the whole piece of cheese in one bite. Quietly, she murmured, “Wow.”
Adrien turned back to her, his cheeks still bright red as he gestured up at his kwami. “I’m sorry about him. He can be a little demanding.”
Ladybug’s lips stretched into a smile as she giggled loudly. Nodding her head at his jacket, she asked amusedly, “Do you usually keep cheese in your pocket like that?”
“Most of the time, yes. Plagg can get pretty hungry.” He lifted a finger up, scratching the kwami’s chin as Plagg purred. She cooed with awe, watching the two adoringly. 
Of course it was Adrien who was able to keep Plagg’s chaotic tendencies somewhat under control. She couldn’t think of anyone better for the job. God, how had she never figured it out before? It just seemed so obvious now that she knew. 
With a small chuckle, Ladybug nodded her head at the two of them. “You know, I was pretty nervous before but I’m really glad we did this. I think this information is really going to help us in the future. Especially now that I can help you transform in peace.”
“Yeah?” Adrien asked, beaming at her happily.
“Mhm,” she hummed, giving him her own smile in return. “And I’m really glad it’s you, Adrien. I couldn’t imagine anyone better for the job.”
He puffed his chest out with pride before bowing low and deep as he winked at her. “I’m glad that you still trust me with this, m’lady.”
Flushing adorably, Ladybug giggled happily. He was so sweet. And maybe, maybe after everything was over, and if Adrien still had feelings for her... maybe then they really could finally be together. Leaning forward, she brushed a small kiss on his cheek. Then, with a devilish smirk, she whispered, “First one to the Eiffel Tower wins.”
With a mischievous chuckle, Ladybug swung her yo-yo, already on her way to the landmark. She heard an indignant shout behind her but she kept going, ready to win once again.

Wasting All These Tears on You (Jurdan Modern Au)
So, I did a thing. This is my first time trying to write fanfiction, and I hope that it isn’t horrible. If you like it, and want more, I would be willing to give it another go. I actually, kinda, had fun. Also, I left room in this fic for their to definitely be a part 2.
This is based off of the song Wasting All These Tears by Cassadee Pope. I couldn’t get it out of my head, so I tried to write it out instead. I really hope you guys enjoy. 1770 words.
Of all the days for Jude Duarte’s car to break down, of course it had to be the one with the downpouring rain. Fortunately, her office was only a ten minute walk from the home she shared with her fiance, Cardan. Unfortunately, she didn’t even have an umbrella, assuming she would have a working car to protect her from the rain. Maybe she could run into the coffee shop five minutes from their house, with the chocolate crullers that Cardan liked so much, a little treat for them both. Jude had been cutting down on carbs since the proposal, when she realized that she would have to wear a wedding dress, and wanting one scandalous enough to offend Madoc and Oriana. 
Just as she was about to duck into the coffee shop, Jude saw something through the glass that made her heart stop. Cardan sitting in a corner booth. He was supposed to be at work until six, he said. Something about an important meeting at the firm, a new client. Maybe that’s who he was meeting, although it doesn’t explain the expression on his face, like a love sick puppy. Or the glimpse she caught of the mysterious person, a girl really, who also happened to look extremely familiar. Nope, not a business meeting, Jude thought as she saw Cardan lean forward and kiss his “client” on the lips. 
As he leaned back, Cardan looked up, out the window and saw Jude standing there, watching him and a look of absolute horror overtook his face. The girl looked over as well. Nicasia. There was a sly smirk on her painted face, and she snuck a kiss on Cardan’s cheek before getting up from the booth and walking out the door. Cardan followed her, and Jude didn’t know if he intended to stop and explain himself or just keep following Nicasia. She turned away at the last second, feeling the tears running down her face, and began to walk towards her home.
“Jude!” She heard Cardan call behind her, but she was not going to wait. “Jude! Please, let me explain.” 
“Explain?” Jude cried, whipping around so fast, her wet hair smacked across her face. “Explain what? That you’re cheating on me? That you’re lying about where you are, so that I think I’m in a loving relationship with a loving fiance.” People were staring,  but it was the least of her concerns. Cardan however, was looking around, trying to find a place where they could talk without all the attention. 
“Please, Jude. Let’s go home, let me talk, let me explain.” 
“No. You can go home. I’m done. I’m going to stay at Vivi’s. I’ll be by tomorrow to pick up my stuff,” Jude turned around again, pulling her phone out of her pocket to call her older sister. Catching sight of the diamond on her finger, Jude ripped it off and threw it at Cardan, shouting “Take this, too. Maybe you can give it to Nicasia, since it seems you care more about her than about me.” 
Cardan let the ring land at his feet, not bothering to pick it up. “Jude, dear…” he said softly, but Jude was done listening to his lies. She didn’t want an explanation. She wanted her sisters, and a dozen bottles of alcohol, preferably the strong stuff. Luckliy, that was Vivi’s specialty, being a bartender at the local gay bar. 
The phone rang once, before Vivienne answered with a “‘Sup.”
“I’m coming over,” was all Jude said. The tears were running down her face, mingling with the rain pouring from the sky. 
There was radio silence, on the other end of the phone, and then “Okay”. No questions, nothing. This was the reason Jude called her older sister first, rather than her twin. She also knew that the second Jude hung up the phone, Vivi would be calling Taryn, and Jude’s best friend Liliver. 
The second Jude walked through the door of Vivi’s apartment, she was bombarded with a hug by Taryn, before being traded off to Vivi, and then Vivi’s wife Heather. After she was released, Jude found a bottle of vodka sitting on the counter, placed there by Vivi only moments before. Without any hesitation, she ripped off the top and began to guzzle it down like it was water, relishing the burn in her throat, hoping that it will make her forget the ache in her heart. 
She was halfway through the bottle when Liliver walked through the door, saw the look of Jude’s face and said, “Viv, you better have more than just that one bottle.”
She shot Lil a look. “What do you take me for? An amature?” 
Liliver just shook her head before coming over to Jude. “Babe, what happened?” she asked, swiping the bottle out of Jude’s hands. Lil took a sip before handing it back to her. 
“Cardan cheated on me. I saw him kissing another girl, and not just any other girl, but Nicasia.”
“Nicasia,” Taryn started, “as in his ex Nicasia.” 
“The one and only.” Jude took another chug of the vodka and wiped her wet eyes with the palm of her free hand. 
“That bastard. Wait until I get my hands on him, he’ll never know what hit him, my baby sister.” Vivi began to pace, until Heather put a hand on her back and handed her a glass of honey whiskey. She had two more glasses, as well as a barely opened bottle. Pouring generous amounts of the alcohol into the cups, she handed them out to Taryn and Liliver. Heather opted for a ginger ale herself, due to the fact that she was 3 months pregnant. 
“I have a better idea,” said Taryn after draining her glass. “Let’s go out and get wasted.”
Jude looked up at her twin, and saw the devilish grin on her face. “For the record, I had already planned on getting wasted, either alone or with you guys, but I’m in. Anything to make me forget, even for a little while.” She turned to Vivi, “You got something I can wear, cause I’m not going to a bar in my slacks.” 
Vivienne ran to her room, returning moments later with a silver mini dress. “The only way you’re wearing this is if you promise no more Cardan tears, cause I don’t need that negative energy polluting my favorite dress.” Jude only wiped her eyes a final time and took the last swig out of the vodka bottle. Rising from the chair, she accepted the dress from her sister and made her way to the bathroom. She splashed water on her face, thanking God for waterproof mascara and proceeded to get dressed. The silver mini was a little tight, thanks to Vivi’s slender figure, but fit nonetheless. 
Jude exited the bathroom, and grabbed her phone from her bag by the door. 13 missed calls, all from Cardan. She shut it off and threw it back into her bag, no inclination to call him back. 
“Let’s go get wildly drunk and make me forget everything,” Jude loudly shouted, followed by a woot from her sisters and friends. She was beginning to slur a little, the effects of an entire bottle of vodka slowly hitting her brain. Heather noticed this, and also knew that it was only going to get worse. 
“As the only person here who can’t drink, I volunteer to be the designated driver and get all of your drunk asses home tonight.” Heather also knew that she would be the only one with a working brain tonight.
The girls piled into Heather and Vivi’s car and made their way to Elfhame, the only bar where ladies get in free at all hours. Even though it was only a ten minute ride, Jude couldn’t hide her delight of the tiny bottles of assorted liquors being handed out from Vivi’s tiny bag. 
“Bottom’s up,” said Lil, before shooting back whatever was in the bottle she had been handed. Jude also drained hers, some cheap tequila. Good enough to get her drunk fast, but not enough to avoid a major hangover in the morning. 
Two more shots later, they arrived at the club, and were ceremoniously allowed inside. Jude would be lying if she said that she hadn’t flirted with the bouncer a bit in her inebriated state, just for a little extra treatment. It was granted, as the group was corralled into the VIP section and handed complimentary margaritas, mostly alcohol from the smell of them. A sip of her’s confirmed Jude’s suspicion, and she began to take bigger sips. As soon, as she finished the first drink, a second was pressed into her hand, another margarita that Jude drank half of immediately before making her way to the dance floor. 
Two hours, and about five drinks later, Jude was having the time of her life. Dancing with her sisters and friends, enjoying herself without the pressure of having a fiance at home who might not be too approving of the dancing she was doing with strangers at the club. 
When Jude and Taryn excused themselves for a quick brush up in the bathroom, she caught a glimpse of a guy watching her with profound interest. She knew him too, and allowed him to see her face, and the enjoyment of the night. Valerian just shot her a grin, in his eyes, a promise for something fun later. 
“How are you feeling?” Taryn asked once they got into the bathroom. 
“Never better,” Jude replied, throwing on another layer of lipstick. “I don’t even remember what I was crying about earlier, or if I was even crying.”
“Good, I’m glad. We haven’t had a good girls night out in a while. I missed this, and I missed you.” 
“I missed you too.” Jude gave her twin a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, leaving a bright red lipstick stain behind. Taryn didn’t even bother to wipe it off, she just laughed and pulled her sister out the door and back onto the dance floor, where they were greeted with another round of tequila shots and margaritas.
At five in the morning, Jude found herself on the bathroom floor of the guest room she was sharing with Taryn and Lil. She was over the toilet, dry-heaving the alcohol left in her system. As the memories returned to her more sober brain, she began to cry in earnest again. She remembered why she wanted to go out drinking, remembered seeing Cardan and Nicasia together, the fight, the ring. Jude felt her heart break a second time.

Secrets- Part 3
Fandom: Harry Potter: Marauders Era
Pairing: Remus x Reader (eventual)
Warnings: Angst but nothing major
Summary: Remus and you have been dancing around the fact that you are both in love with the other. As a new year starts, Remus is determined to tell you about his secret as well as his feelings for you. However, something is off about you, you are keeping a secret that he does not know. A secret that could destroy everything they have.
Y/N/N= your nickname
Tumblr media
“Ready (Y/N)?” Remus asked, he was standing on the first stairs to the girls dormitory looking up in anticipation as you made your way down to meet him. He had borrowed James’s invisibility cloak to sneak around without the possibility of being caught. You were finally ready, after hours of contemplating on turning Remus down and then another hour figuring out what to wear. 
“Yeah, Ray. I’m ready to go,” you say walking down the stairs to meet him. He was dressed casually with a blue button down that complimented his features very well. 
“Don’t you look gorgeous,” he said as he not so subtly checked you out. 
“Well aren’t you subtle,” you respond to his statement effectively shutting him up and making him turn a crimson red. On the way to the astronomy tower Remus had not uttered a word to you, and you didn’t know what to say to him. Remus had grown a couple of inches over the summer and in order for the both of you to be concealed by the cloak he was partially hunched over you. Somewhere along the way Remus was brave enough to tangle his fingers through yours. It felt nice to have a moment of peace with him, usually the week classes started until the first Hogsmeade trip, you tended to get busy with helping your friends, and the marauders with their new schedule and classwork. After a couple more minutes of silent walking, and some awkward moments of trying to figure out a way to walk up the stairs, you arrived at the Astronomy Tower. 
“Ta-da,” Remus weakly stated as he walked you towards what looked to be a picnic blanket on the floor of the balcony. Along with candles that were somehow (magically) still lit despite the wind, there were several of your favorite dessert delicacies, your favorite flowers and two jugs of butterbeer beautifully placed on the blanket. 
“Remus, this is…” you started but you couldn’t explain how you felt. This was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for you in your fifteen years of living on this Earth. 
“Is it too much? It’s too much isn’t it? I’ve messed up everything,” Remus rambled worry filled in his tone. The thing is Remus was in love with you, and his friends were helping him in trying to express that to you. For the past year he had been trying in his own way to reveal his feelings for you but every time he opens his mouth worry fills him about his Furry Little Problem getting in the way. 
However, over the summer he finally got up the courage to decide that he wasn’t going to let his problem get in the way of his life. Sure being a werewolf is dangerous, but his parents pointed out that Remus was holding his entire life back because of something that occurs for one night every month. 
Them talking some sense into him kind of opened his eyes. You were an angel, you were kind and smart and beautiful. Even his friends had pointed out that if Remus were to share his problem with you, instead of running for the hills you would try everything in your power to help him. He decided right then that he was going to tell you that he was a werewolf, and was trying to find a good time. Though he knew he didn’t have to bribe you before telling you his secret, Remus felt it was only proper to reveal his feelings for you as well as his darkest secret after doing something nice for you first. The confidence his friends pumped into him before he left the dormitory was starting to leak out of him. 
“Too much?” you exclaimed, “Remus John Lupin this is the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me.” You looked towards him shyly, not exactly sure of what to do next. 
“Well then, on that note, sit down and enjoy m’lady,” he stated while letting you sit down. “The star shower will start soon.” For the next two hours, Remus and you star gazed, ate, drank, talked and laughed. 
“ (Y/N/N) , I have a confession to make,” Remus stated, wiping his sweaty palms on his pants for the fifth time in a minute. 
You could see his anxious energy, of course you could. You knew Remus Lupin better than he knew himself sometimes. 
You knew how nervous he gets before the first day of classes, you knew how he liked to finish big assignments as soon as they were assigned to make sure he had plenty of time to revise them. 
You knew how he bounces his right leg when he’s nervous his latest prank plan failed, and how he tended to bounce his left leg when he overheard people talking about topics he felt strongly about. 
You knew how he bites his lips when trying to concentrate, you knew that once a week every month his mum would get sick that he tended to skip classes out of worry. So of course you knew that he was nervous, for what you couldn’t put your finger on so to ease his tension you stated, “Ray, you can tell me anything, you know that.”
Letting a breath out to calm himself down he looked at you. He noticed the way you were looking at the night sky, there was something different about it. It may sound odd to others but this wasn’t the first time Remus and you snuck to the Astronomy Tower to stargaze. 
Previously you would point out all the different constellations, and talk about the stories muggles have for each of them. Remus would patiently listen watching the excitement in your eyes, even though he had already read about it. You would point out the beauty in the stars and moon, and for a moment Remus would appreciate the beauty behind the controlling crescent he had grown to hate. But tonight you didn’t share any stories of the stars, nor did you point out the beauty of the moon. The more Remus talked to you tonight, the more he recognized that the woebegone energy you tried to mask in the train ride was deeply rooted in you. Still through your gloomy state you tried to be there for him, and he commended you for that.
“(Y/N/N) , well-er- I suppose we should get back to the dormitory. I’ll tell you then,” Remus quickly said while standing up and offering you a clammy hand up. While on your way to the Gryffindor Tower you couldn’t help but think about what Remus wanted to confess. Was it his feelings? Had he finally gotten the courage to tell you that he liked you? The thought made you happy for a second. For a second your mind wandered to holding hands with Remus in public, stealing his jumpers and wearing them proudly around the school, cuddling up with him while he read you a book, graduating together and moving into a home together, waking up to his bedhead and smiling face for the rest of your life. The thoughts filled you with warmth from your toes all the way to your head but sadness washed over you as cold as ice water as you recognized that none of that will come true once Remus finds out about your secret.
You somehow managed to not cry and while you had let your thoughts run amuck you both reached the Gryffindor tower.  
“I had a great time tonight Remus,” you stated turning towards him at the bottom of the girls dormitory staircase. 
“I’m glad I was able to put a smile on that face of yours,” he said while moving a stray hair behind your ear. He hoped to Godric that you didn’t see how his hands shook as he did the action. 
Both of you were blissfully unaware of the sneaky eyes of the marauders that were watching your every movement since your return from the tower.
“Come on Moony, kiss the girl,” Sirius frustratingly whispered out. 
“Shush, they might hear us and we’ll ruin things for him,” Peter let out trying his best to be assertive. 
Remus’s heart was hammering so much that he could hear each beat pumping blood to his head in his ear. He wanted so badly to tell you his feelings and secret but when he opened his mouth no sound was coming out. To add to that you were looking up at him through half droopy eyes making you look absolutely adorable, it made his throat run dry. 
“Well I should get to bed. I’m certain that the boys will be keeping both of us busy with the same start of term drama we’ve been dealing with,” you said while starting your descent up the stairs. 
“Wait,” Remus called out desperately, and grabbed a hold of your elbow pulling you down to him. 
“Oof,” you let out, lightly crashing into Remus’s chest. You opened your mouth to ask him what was wrong when all the words died in your mouth. Remus left a sweet chaste kiss on your cheek, he smiled at your loving, and surprised expression, thinking this to be the perfect time to tell you his secret. Just as he was about to tell you that he loved you, and that he’s a werewolf, the Marauders burst from their hiding spot cheering for their two best friends. 
“Finally!” James screamed while Sirius wooted and pretended to cry. 
“Our babies are all grown up,” Sirius came over and grabbed you both in a bear hug, “Remember to always use protection, babies can’t be having babies.” 
“Alright, that is my cue to go,” you pushed him off you and gave Remus a good night hug before running upstairs. As you closed the door to your dormitory you were blushing but also in tears. Remus Lupin, finally got up the courage to express his feelings for you, but once you tell him about your secret he will leave. The Marauders will leave. Your parents will leave. You’ll be all on your own.

Fanfic Progress Update 74
Hi hi hi!<3 It’s time for the weekly progress update, since it’s Saturday. Stay tuned to the end of this post for a spoiler-y glimpse into the next chapter of Adventure gone Mini.
Current WIPs:
Adventure gone Mini
Fandom: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild / The Minish Cap
Summary: Sidon is given his very own Sheikah Slate, the first replica Purah has managed to make, and sets out to travel with Link with the intention of registering warp points for convenient travel in the future. However, when a malfunction shrinks them down to the size of bugs, and they meet little people called the Minish, they have to change their plans from “fun adventuring” to “getting out of this mess”. Not that those two have to exclude one another. Link/Sidon.
Progress: Chapter 40 is the current latest chapter and was posted on 17th of June. Chapter 41 is 3/4th written and the scheduled posting date is 29th of July. Gotta do more writing before that~
I post a new chapter every three weeks on Wednesdays. These updates always include a sneak-peek for the next chapter, slowly getting longer over the three weeks waiting period.
—–
Experiment in Romance
Fandom: Hazbin Hotel
Summary (temporary): Husk’s afterlife takes an odd turn when a drunk Alastor knocks on his door and has no intention of going to his own room for the night. It only gets weirder from there, leaving Husk with a most unexpected arrangement with the Radio Demon. Either it’ll be the best decision in his afterlife, or he’s simply out to break his own damn heart dealing with the fickle asshole. Radiohusk.
Progress: Chapter 1 has finally been checked and edited and is ready, woot! Chapter 2 hasn’t been looked at yet, but I have a feeling I’ll need to do some heavy cutting and editing there.
—–
Hah! Our afterlife is the most hilarious bushwa, dearest
Fandom: Hazbin Hotel
Summary: This is not a stand-alone story! This is a oneshot/drabble collection in the universe as “Shit, the Radio Demon is a part of my afterlife”. Read the main story before bothering with this one.
I decided to give my readers a chance to throw Radiohusk prompts at me, and had the Afterlife-verse as an option to set the stories in. Everyone liked that, so this fic is now a thing. Enjoy the extra mischief from these two dorks!
Progress: Chapter 22 is the current latest chapter and was posted on 24th of July. Chapter 23 has actually been started for once, and the scheduled posting date is 31st of July. A sneak-peek will be posted the previous Thursday. Peanut, you’re gonna like this one ;)
I have 14 prompts left.
This fic receives a new chapter every Friday.
—–
Other WIPs I’m not currently working on but intend to get back to someday:
PoE Drabbles (Pillars of Eternity)
DC Drabbles (Justice League)
Diaphanous Relations (Forgotten Realms, R.A. Salvatore’s books)
That month of the year (Hazbin Hotel)
—–
That’s it for the WIPs! Here’s the promised sneak-peek into Adventure gone Mini (Note: the text may end up slightly different in the fic itself due to more editing happening before publishing). Enjoy!
Mini
"I give you my tentative blessing to explore the shrine when you return, mister hero", Festari of the Abbey said once the children had been extracted from Link’s person and sent away. Again. This time Link wasn't actually expecting them to be truly gone; he liked to believe he learned from his mistakes most of the time. "However, we will have to have a serious talk about your conduct and carried weaponry when that time comes. I will not allow the shrine to be destroyed because of an unneeded exploration by a hero who isn't doing this for a purpose grander than simple curiosity. Are those acceptable terms for you?" Link nodded eagerly. He didn't care if he had to carry a stick instead of a sword as long as he got to have an adventure. Besides, that was future Link's problem anyway. 'Fine by me. I will look forward to that.' Sidon beamed at Link once he was done translating. "I'm so glad you managed to figure out a solution that works for all of us! Are you sure I shouldn't tell Zelda-" Link shook his head vehemently. No. He wasn't going to become a diplomat of any flavour, thank you very much.

That’s it this time. See you next Saturday!

So I'm offering a Starker (or Spiderio or any combo of the three) fic, min 5k, for the Marvel Trumps Hate charity auction. I know I'm not exactly well known in this fandom, but hey, here's a chance to get some custom made fic! (The auction ends Saturday the 24th!)
I know browsing the auctions for things I want bid on, I've had some moments of 'but what specifically would I want to read?'. Maybe others are having that thought too? So I thought I'd put out some of the ideas sitting around, waiting for me to write them, in case one catches someone's interest enough to donated $10 to charity! (I've got one of these for Spiderio too, if that's appealing.)
I'm kind of grouping these because it got long. (Smut, smut + feels, fluff, oh no the sads)
Just the smut! (Ok some feels):
Continuation of Hang Up – so what does happen the next morning after that phone call? (Sex. Probably more phone sex.)
Peter is dumb online – Peter decides to auction off his virginity online. Of course Tony finds out immediately. Of course Tony buys it to keep Peter from getting hurt. Of course Tony decides to meet up and teach Peter a lesson about being safe – wait. That might have been a mistake. (It's not.)
Actually, Peter doesn't like it rough – miscommunication piled on top of miscommunication because they're both idiots who are desperate for each other, until a tipping point is reached. Happy ending! Fluffy ending!
Gag reflex training – pretty much what it sounds like. Tony having a lot of fun with Peter; messy, noisy, hopefully hot.
Experienced Peter – Peter hasn't been waiting around for Tony to be the first, and he's had time to figure out some of his preferences. Like topping almost exclusively, among other things.
Civil War pick me up – after the airport, Tony goes to check on Peter and is in desperate need of something nice. Peter really, really wants to be that something nice. Could be underage, could be not.
Continuation of Gift Wrapped – (Peter/Tony/Pepper) there's a lot more sex happening for Tony's birthday than I had time to write for kinktober.
But you want me to be safe, don't you? - Peter's hit with sex pollen, but it can be taken care of without outside help. Peter would still really like it if Tony would help. Or would at least keep an eye on him. Or at least stay in hearing range! He won't be able to resist if Peter's noisy and saying his name while he gets off, right???
Armor Kink - I mean, basically what it says on the tin. Peter’s been having fantasies about the armor forever. Tony is absolutely willing to help him with that.
ABO forced presentation – Peter doesn't know what he'll end up being, and that's bad for Reasons. He convinces Tony try forcing a presentation (not noncon type forcing) and things get weird. Playing around with the idea of how non-binary might go in ABO. Possible Tony/Peter/Pepper endship. More than likely somewhat underage.
Avengers orgy – Peter's finally old enough to join in the tradition! While he's having fun with everyone, Peter and Tony keep gravitating to each other, winding up with things getting a little too emotional when Tony finally gets his chance. Potential for Tony/Peter/Rhodey endship.
The spider bite did what?!? - Peter starts having really weird cravings when he's around Tony. Weird as in blood, and Tony is going to help him figure this out. Even when it turns into a craving for sex (and bloodplay). Even when it turns into terrifying (for Peter) egg/medical kink.
*
Smut! Oh wait, where did all these feelings come from?:
Toybox – slightly darker Peter decides if Tony won't fuck him, the least Tony can do is pay for Peter's toys, and watch while Peter enjoys them. No touching allowed since Tony doesn't want him, after all. Which is a rule that gets harder and harder to keep in place; feelings, so many feelings everywhere.
Pain kink Peter – what it says on the tin, lol. “Oh Mr. Stark, maybe you should supervise this slightly dangerous sex thing I like.” I think we can guess where it heads from there.
Call boy Peter – what it sounds like! It's an accident that Tony gets him; good thing Peter was blindfolded! Bad thing that Peter's senses are enhanced and he knows from the start who it is. Good thing that Peter's not going to say anything so he can keep this reliable customer?
Evil Ex D/S verse – Peter's pretty insecure about being a good sub for Tony and it's not helped at all when one of Tony's ex subs tells him he'll never be able to take what Tony wants to dish out. Well, Peter's going to prove him wrong! Tony really doesn't understand why Peter is making himself miserable for something Tony doesn't even want, and things almost break before they get fixed.
*
Fluff! (Crap there's not much):
Follow up to Seiche – mostly fluffy 5 times +1 where the emotion sensing bond causes (minor) problems
Fluffy D/S verse – all the fluff! All the outside POV! Everyone assumes that obviously Tony is a dom; after all, that's how he's always presented himself. Everyone is wroooooong. Tony's never been happier.
Nail polish – little bit of Tony finding it incredibly appealing when Peter wears nail polish
*
Oh No + all the feelings, heavy on the bad ones:
Soulmark AU – Tony finds out first and isn't going to do anything due to the age difference. Peter finds out and thinks that's bullshit + horribly hurt that he's being rejected. Things are forced when Peter gets hit with a drug that messes with that bond and they both have to figure out how things are going to go. Possible bittersweet ending.
Screw soulmates, actually - Post CW and Tony dealing with soulmate rejection (that’s a WHOLE other fic). Peter’s become convinced Tony’s a blank like him, and then doesn’t understand why Tony’s soulmate wouldn’t want him. Peter does! They get their happy ever after without being fated for each other, and Peter gets a chance to tells Tony’s soulmate what a dick they are. All the satisfaction!
Untenable – sequel to Indefensible and … horrible. The ABO underage incest continues, Tony hates himself, Peter is distressingly happy. Mpreg makes everything ten times worse; endgame makes everything 100 times worse. Going beyond that would be spoilery, but uh. Everything becomes 1000 times worse by the end! Yay! Yikes.
ABO accidental bonding – the worst abo version, heads up. Underage Peter, omegas are treated very poorly, Peter and Tony don't know each other beforehand and don't do great getting to know each other afterwards. Biology continues to fuck Peter over, and Tony really doesn't get how desperately Peter wants Tony to like him. Mountains and mountains of angst and sad before the happy ending.
Copy - After IW, Tony makes a Peter clone/android/whatever. Unfortunately, it just makes things worse because it’s just enough off to make it super obvious it’s not Peter. And fake!Peter knows it too. He’s just enough like real Peter to fall in love with Tony too, and he can’t figure out how to make Tony care about him instead of real, dead Peter. Not that it matters when he snap is reversed (Tony lives) and fake!Peter isn’t needed or wanted anymore. (Will probably have a sequel where real Peter finds out about all this, probably happy ending for everyone.)
Nothing sticks around - years after the blip, Peter discovers Tony, alive - only Tony has none of his memories. Tony doesn’t want anything to do with these people Peter tries to reintroduce him to; he trusts Peter and wants to stay with him. And does, for quite some time, things turning into a relationship, and even if Peter feels guilty about it, he’s happy. Right up until Tony suddenly remembers everything ... except what’s been going on the last few years with Peter. Undecided if there’s a happy ending or not.
I hate time travel - once Tony figures out time travel, he decides he needs to find out if this works by hopping forward and seeing if Peter is back. And then maybe he should hop forward a little more just to check on him. Keeps doing this, about once a year, and while Peter is so glad to see him, it’s destroying Peter to basically go through Tony ‘dying’ over and over. Pretty soon it’s fucking up Tony too, after he accidentally shows up when Peter’s in the middle of sex. Very bittersweet ending to maintain the timeline.
Fuck you, Beck - Beck goes about getting the glasses in the worst ways, and Peter finds out a little too late - way too late when it comes to sleeping with him. Not that he’s going to ever tell anyone about that. Not even Tony, when Tony comes back. Not even Tony, when it turns out Tony is interested. Okay, maybe he’ll have to tell Tony when Peter’s reactions to sex become a problem. Happy ending but lots of ouch on the way.
Sequel to Dormant - so what exactly does Tony notice the morning after? And what exactly does Peter do about it? (Spoiler: A lot more than Peter thought he would, and nothing good.)
Don't punish people like that – as much Tony/Obie as Tony/Peter, maybe pre-Tony/Peter. Obie decided to deal with Tony's wild streak by punishing him in an especially awful, painful, dehumanizing, sexual way. Tony's managed to handle how awful that was by pretending it was helpful (nope!). When Peter will not stop misbehaving, the last resort Tony can think of is what was done to him. It helped, right? (He can't bring himself to in the end, which sets off a cascading failure of repressed trauma, woot!)
Sex Pollen Non-Con – Tony's hit with some sort of fuck or die stuff; only problem is that he 100% refuses to let Peter do anything, and there's no one else. Peter, convinced that Tony's going to die, stops giving Tony a choice. What's that, the trauma Tony was hoping to spare him is replaced with way worse trauma from basically raping Tony? WHOOPS. (Probably happy ending!)
Secondhand verse – following after this, things growing steadily worse, hotter, and more complex between Peter, Beck, and Tony. Bad decisions all around! Unexpected feelings all around! General unhappiness at having feelings that can be hurt all around! Probably a series of fics.
12:00 - follow up to 11:59, Tony and Peter finally getting it on and Beck being an ass in the background. Also the prequel that’s primarily Peter/Quentin, and possibly a sequel where Tony decides that maybe it wasn’t the worst thing in the world, watching Beck fuck Peter - and Peter liked it, right? Everyone’s down for a totally uncomplicated round two, right?
(And feel free to talk to me about anything here, I love an excuse to ramble.)
