Hiii! Have a great day!

How about Ghost, Valeria, and Price with a close friend who is a professional boxer? Imagine asking them to practice/train with you n stuff

Unrelated, what's your favorite color?

Hello! Thank you! I hope you have a great day as well! My favorite color would be either a nice purple or a nice pink! I just really love both colors, so it's hard for me to choose!

Price, Ghost and Valeria with a Boxer!Friend

Price: He’s not a boxer per se himself, but he can bust out a few moves if he needs to. He’s had his own boxing matches with the enemy from time to time, so he can definitely pack a very mean punch if he wanted to. Thinks it’s very cool that you’re a professional boxer and definitely supports you however he can. As he knows plenty of people, he can probably arrange a friendly match between you and someone he knows so you can get some practice in with all kinds of people. However, you’re more than welcome to ask him for some sparring as well, he’ll laugh but won’t turn you down. But beware, he won’t go down easily either. He’s a captain, he has his pride and wants you to know that he’s not just some goon you can pick off and defeat just like that. And he will give it his all. He’s fairly bulky and, due to his profession, can take quite a lot. Might fake mock you from time to time, asking you if that’s really all that you’ve got. Doesn’t hold back in the slightest, the fact that you’re his good friend doesn’t matter too much to him at that moment. While he sort of does hope that you’ll win, he won’t make it easy for you. Price has very quick reflexes and could dodge you somewhat easily, but you will be able to get a good hit or two in as well. Very proud of you when you do beat him, regardless of whether you’re able to do so on your first try or if it took you several times. After every match with him he’ll take you out for a drink, one that is on him, and gives you pointers on how he thinks you could do better. He just really wants you to thrive and do well as a boxer so you can rise almost effortlessly. He knows it’s hard, but he’s with you all the way and will support you however he can.

Ghost: He used to box for fun when he was a bit younger. It definitely wasn’t too long ago, so he still knows how to box somewhat well. Ghost is a bit stronger than Price physically, so taking a punch from him would definitely hurt, but that’s just him showing you that he loves and appreciates you: By not holding back in the slightest. He can take a lot, so I’m wishing you good luck as you train with him, it’s definitely not easy taking him down. You can train with him just about whenever he has the time, though, he really doesn’t mind. In fact, he quite likes it when you ask him to train with you, it makes him feel as though he’s a trusted friend of yours. He may not be as quick as Price, but his reflexes are still cat-like. Sometimes, he has to spar like that with Soap still, so he still knows what he’s doing since the sergeant is very persistent in matters like those. Ghost is quick, focused and his punches are very calculated, he can take down and defeat just about anyone crossing his path. Besides, you’re a professional, surely you won’t go down so easily when it comes to someone who shouldn’t be on your level, right? Gives you pointers as well during your matches. He means well, but he also just wants to piss you off and break your concentration like that a bit. However, a fight with him is entirely fair. Ghost knows the rules and knows them well, so he won’t do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, he’ll check up on you after the match, regardless of who won out of the two of you. You are a good friend of his, you should be doing well at all times, Ghost can take care of himself too, after all. Like Price, he’ll take you out for a drink or two afterwards. However, if he’s not on deployment, he’ll try to go to some of your matches as well, when he can. He’d love to see you in action against a proper opponent.

Valeria: She’s probably tried to hire you since you’re very good at what you do, but you said no every time, so she gave up eventually. While she will still hint at wanting you to work for her, she can understand why you’d say no, your job is much more honest than hers, after all. Valeria has a certain appreciation for your boxing, thinking it to be rather cool. You can defend yourself in close combat, if it comes down to it, so she really doesn’t have to worry about you as much as other people. Like Price, she knows plenty of people. In fact, if you want to go up against some celebrities, she could probably pull some strings and have something arranged. It’s amusing to her, watching two people beat each other up in the name of sports. Will watch your matches as well when she can, you are her dear friend, after all. You can ask her, too, to fight you, and she likely won’t say no to that. If she has the time, that is, and is in the right mood for it as well. She doesn’t have nearly as much experience boxing as Ghost or Price do, but she can hold her own if it comes down to it. While she may not be as powerful as the other two, she will turn a match of regular boxing into kickboxing. She knows she shouldn’t, but as soon as it looks like you’re about to win she’ll do whatever she can to turn the tides. Her kicks are very powerful, so it’s not like she doesn’t know what she’s doing either. You need to nag a lot at her for the both of you to have a proper match without kicking on her behalf. If you’re having a regular match then it’s not that unlikely for her to just lose. She doesn’t have a lot of experience in the field of boxing since she prefers ranged weapons over melee. She’ll sulk a bit if you do beat her, but won’t hold it against you. If anything, she might challenge you out of her own will again just so she can beat you at some point. Such a thing is important to her.

made a template page for writing in the script from Tunic :) it's sized for 8.5x11 paper, if you print with no margins it should take up the whole page!

To me the saddest thing about the relationship between dokja and his mother is that both sides are giving so much love/understanding except it wasn’t enough. Dokja kills his father to protect his mother, except it leaves them in an awful position where someone is going to be punished for murder even if that man was an abusive piece of shit. Sookyung takes the fall for him to protect him from a life known as being a killer, except it leaves Dokja all alone, traumatized enough that his mind blocks out the details of that night, and now with no one on his side. Sookyung writes the novel to cement her position as the murderer instead of Dokja, along with raising some money she can give to try and support him. Except she does and it’s the worst thing to ever happen to Dokja, even worse than the murder of his father. The book is a bestseller but Dokja never sees a cent of the money due to his relatives, all he gets is to be harassed day after day from classmates to reporters to his relatives, digging and tearing into a vulnerable teenager. Dokja still goes to see his mother after the novel, after everything, but he has nothing to say to her, nothing he feels he wants to say other than explaining the novel that saved him when Sookyung was unable.

When Dokja meets his mother after the apocalypse starts, the line that always stuck out to me the most was when Sookyung asks if Dokja still considers her his mother. Dokja says yes, but the lie detection marks him as lying. Dokja is just so bitter and resentful and angry- all of it within reason. His mother did her best for him, did what she thought was right, but in writing that novel she effectively ruined his already not so great life. But Sookyung’s book did incredible things, it lead to attention being brought to people in similar situations, it should have set Dokja up to be well funded for years considering it was a best seller, Sookyung was not wrong to write it. She puts herself under the same dehumanizing lens that Dokja is put under by the general public, only she is an adult who made that choice and Dokja was not.

And then you get to the dark castle, where Sookyung has learned of Dokja’s oncoming death and is doing everything she can to save him, throwing her very life on the line to make sure he survives. Only once more it is the choice she is making for him, for his sake but still without his consent.

It’s not even that the gap between them cannot be cleared. Sookyung thinks it is too late to explain why she did what she did and so stays strong in her plans, meanwhile Dokja has already figured out the “secret” to his father’s death, he knows why his mother did what she did, and while he cannot forgive her nor erase his pain, he wants to take that first step to mending their relationship. Only that by the time he sees her again, she’s really and truly thrown her life away, and the only thing Dokja has left of her is the writing on the wall, the fourth wall telling her story in her stead because it knows the part of Dokja that despises Sookyung and cannot fathom Dokja wanting her back. But Dokja knows better, he knows himself better, and that past everything, despite the years of strife between them, that he still loves his mother. Even when he does not consider her his mother he wants Sookyung in his life, to tell him her experiences with her own mouth, her own words, so that maybe they can start something new.

And then they hardly ever get to interact again because the apocalypse is happening in 50 different ways all at the same time so they’ll never get that chance to truly just, sit down, mediate that compromise in between their perspectives and come to an understanding. They just have to know that the other is out there in this dangerous world and that they love each other.

#orv #orv spoilers #kim dokja #lee sookyung #anyways #im just gonna throw myself into a fucking river already #let it carry me away from this pain #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #okay im good #i just #they make me so fucking emo man #for very personal reasons but also just #its excellent fucking writine #writing #neither is right neither is wrong but both are hurting and both care so so deeply

god i cant believe i forgot how much i love writing but because i remember getting nervous about my works now im afraid to stop for even just a minute in case i lose faith in myself and give up

#i've written more for this outline than i've ever written for anything else #but last time i got this into it i couldn't read fic anymore #i just found myself doubting myself and feeling like i was a terrible writer and i'd go back and forth between thinking it was worth writin #and then thinking it wasnt worth it at all #the line is so thin it's not even there and i really wish i could convince myself it's not #bushy rambles

[shameboree]

made a joke about being neurotypical because i did homework but now simply Thinking about the CONCEPT of rewriting my cover letter is sending me nosediving into an 1800s fit of hysteria so turns out i did not in fact solve mental illness

So, I don't actually have that many WIPs lol. I tend to force myself to finish whatever I'm working on, even if I hate it, before I move on to the next thing, and I only get off track if life goes crazy or I need to switch gears for an event or exchange.

Currently, I have four WIPs.

two batch - just finished, but I have been dragging myself kicking and screaming through writing what ended up being a total of 22K words over the past 2 months, so I now hate it x) and will need a break before I go back to edit it and try to find a beta reader

hold on to let go - first four chapters are on AO3, and now that I'm done with two batch, I will crank out five and six so help me god

killing the mood - abandoned earlier this year when rl went crazy, but I do want to go back to it

a room with a view - abandoned last fall because I had to switch tracks to event writing, but I do also want to go back to it

As a bonus (since I have so few wips), here are the fics on AO3 I might someday end up writing a sequel or spinoff to, but have left as standalones for now

the better half - (I'd like to something??? with Matt's POV, but Idk what)

a pound of flesh

variations on a theme

#writin stuff #my philosophy is that if I switch too much I will never finish anything #it's a unique way of making myself suffer

[todayisafridaynight]

I know you feel like your fics aren’t good enough but i genuinely love your works so much!!!

thank you !! i haven't posted anything in forever, so i'm happy to hear you enjoyed my stuff 🤧🤧

#snap chats #i dont mEAN to dog on my writing every chance i get to its a force of habit at this point vjaREJEKLRJ #it does mean a lot hearin people like my writing cause i am Ridiculously hard on myself about it velrkjalkj #im trying to stop i promise 1.) it irritatin 2.) i at least wanna TRY improving (in my eyes) instead of complainin all the time #in any case. .. thank you :] #writings just so much harder than drawing . in my opinion . #like with drawing i can SEE if anything's wrong and it's not as effortful for me to adjust but with writing ... #i gotta like. scan the entire thing to see if theres something wrong with a part f the story earlier or it's just phrasing or #like there's just a lot more variables that makes me need more time to look over and thats FINE but #its easy to understand why i stress over writin more and spend more time with it 💀 AND THEN EVEN AFTERWARDS #ILL THINK OF HOW I PHRASED SOMETHING OR SOMETHIGN I LEFT OUT AND IM LKE 'FUCK' #oh well .... im complaining again 💀 ima just go back to my canvas lol ........

How come you dont write anymore?

Now how to answer that doesn't sound extremely depressing lmao

Hmmm well when I was more active in the writing scene in the earlier days of this blog I was not in the best of places, both literally and mentally. Early teens with a sucky home life and school life, yadda yadda you get the picture. Couldn't draw yet so writin was the only decentish escape I had at the time.

Buuuut the kicker is that since this online space I had carved out for myself was my only place of solace which i had made with said writin I essentially doubled down on myself with a lotta pressure to try and keep said online haven safe and normal.

Which led me to start following fandom trends i didnt necessarily agree with but still went along regardless (like using HCs and characterizations i wasn't 100% on), placing myself on a waaaaaay too high of a pedestal when something I wrote didnt turn out how I wanted, slowly losing enjoyment for writing because I was so fearful of losin my lil online space i was writing more for stuff I knew other people would enjoy than what i really wanted to do.

So tl:dr I don't write anymore cause most of my writing was done durin a rlly rough time in my teens and i was so desperate for online validation as a lonely kid that a lot of the stuff i wrote i didn't rlly enjoy and im tryna unwork from off of that 😎👍

#talking to the firebird #look at u got me talkin bout ancient phoenix lore lmao #thats probs a deeper answer than u were expectin huh man #its been hmmmmmmmm #slow as hell tryna work myself to actually write again like for myself rlly n truly #but slow is better than nothin! #and slowly writin for me is better than writn fast for other peeps! #n like #as much as that era of stuff turned me off theres a spare few that still kinda like #*i kinda like #its just that when a hobby gets so deeply intertwined with a bad headspace era of ur life its difficult to snag it back from there yknow? #but anyways anon uhhhhhh srry i dont write anymore but i still got wips in the back i intend to finish sooo uhhhhhhhhhhhhh be patient?

today i learned about lesbian pulp fiction, and the book that popularized it in the west! it was called Women's Barracks, and it was so popular (selling over 4 million copies) and so polarizing (caused a lot of gov't officials to do something about the rampant "problem" of homosexuality) that it's now considered a controversial original bestseller.

and!!!! there was one publishing company that actually made sure their works were being published BY lesbians instead of just for the man viewing pleasure!!!!!!!! thats so cool

#u could argue about the dude thing tho cuz like. anyone can write any romance... and gender means nothing to writin skill #however as a label to do this in the mid 20th century as to actively go against the grain of objectifying... kind of cool!!! #idk why im defending myself Sorry im worried abt bad faith ig?

What if I did another F/O take over event for February? For my birthday? But this time instead of it being every F/O it was only the Ideal Polycule? Would y’all interact with that? Just askin

#Cause like... I want to? #I always draw them as a banner for my birthday #Maybe this year we'll make it the whole thing #And you can ask any one of them any questions or like #Maybe I'll have them make their own posts? #Would that be weird? Would people think that's weird? #Probably... #F/O takeovers are all the way weird because they rely almost entirely on follower participation #and idk I don't wanna make you guys do that #I also don't know where to find Takeover ask games #Proselfship #I dunno I dunno it's a thing I thought of today looking through old asks #Because I like writin' Teru's and Taishi's accent #They're cute... #I dunno lemme know #Tell me it's weird if you think it's weird I can just draw myself some art and what not #I don't wanna make you guys do stuff for me like I already do that all the time with ask games #I don't wanna be TOO annoying #Every once in a while I think Zen should be in the Ideal polycule ya know #But the main thing of the ideal polycule is their real foodie people and they all collectivly cured me of my eating disorder #Well not cured you don't really get cured of things like that do you #but they made me recognize eating as something I should do and something they'd want me to do #Now I'm just trauma dumping this is a weird post sorry #I like the polycule as is... Tho Zen would fit in really well too....... #Hm.... #Anyway. Takeover. Lemme know.
