[trikruismybitch]

This is a prompt i found in my drafts kinda like a really bad put together fic but enjoy lol

Wanda x Reader where they grew up together and went to struckers experience both thankfully surviving, Y/n has shapeshifting abilities like beast-boy & Martian manhunter so she can heal faster then a normal human, that’s why Pietro's alive bc she jumped infront of him.

Anyways, after Ultron Y/n kinda closes in on herself after almost dying (Wanda & Y/n are dating have been for awhile) She’s not smiling as bright or making jokes or pulling pranks like usual. Wanda drifts away from her thinking Y/n needed time by herself and she gets closer to Vision. Y/n sees this and pulls away even more bc she sees the way Wanda looks at him and it breaks her heart.

Pietro notices Y/n pulling away and takes her out to an arcade where they can just mess around and have fun. They’re eating pizza when he brings up that he has been noticing her pulling away from him and when he mentions Wanda she stiffens.

Pietro notices and asks if something happened between them and she says no but that’s the problem.

She tells him how she knows Wanda isn’t in love with her anymore how whenever she has free time she spends it with Vision.

How she does all the things she used to do with Y/n with Vision instead. Pietro’s heart breaks seeing Y/n cry and break down in his arms.

She’s always been like a big sister to him and it makes him angry at Wanda for treating her this way.

Even with Hydra Y/n kept her nonchalant dorky upbeat attitude always trying to bring light on such a dark time in their life’s and to see her break bc of Wanda hurt him.

When they get home Wanda and vision are cooking with them really close to each other Y/n leaves saying she needs to work off steam and Pietro walks toward them and tells Vision he needs to talk to Wanda (is totally rude to him too)

Wanda gets upset at the way he talks to him but pietro just speeds them away to his room confronts her about how she’s been acting with/ Y/n

Wanda realizes it but when Pietro asks Wanda if she still loves Y/n she realizes she doesn’t not in that way anymore.

Pietro looks disappointed in his sister and just leaves Wanda goes to find Y/n cuz they needs talk and she finds her in the gym sparring with Nat (them totaling getting their asses handed to them but Nats teaching her how to fight) she asks if she can talk to her and Nat leaves them.

They talk and Wanda spills how she’s feeling. “Yeah, I kinda figured it out a few weeks ago” she shrugs but inside her hearts shredding into pieces

“Does he make you happy?” Wanda says yes

“That’s all I want Wanda, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. If he makes you happy and treats you right who am I to stand in your way of happiness?”

Wanda tears up and hugs Y/n “Go get him!” y/n says with a strained smile but Wanda doesn't notice

Wanda leaves to tell Vision not noticing how Y/n’s world has just collapsed on top of itself. Pietro finds her that night chugging a bottle of whiskey. With another already empty.

“She doesn’t love me anymore” and then she breaks down, “I can’t stay here Pietro. I got an offer about a month ago from a man named Charles Xavier. They want me to go down and live with them at a mutant school says he can help me with my powers. At first I wasn’t going to take it because of you and Wanda but I don’t think I can be here Peet...I love you like my own brother and if you need me to stay here I will but-"

“No. If you need to leave I support you. You’ve always been here and protected us—me. Now it’s time you do something for yourself.”

Y/n talks to Natasha, Tony, and Steve about it and they agree that the Mutant schools the best.

As Y/n’s getting packed to leave Wanda barges in “You can’t leave!”

“I have to, it’s what’s best for me.”

“Is this because of me? You told me you wanted me to be happy! You leaving isn’t making me happy!”

“It’s not because of you” okay that’s a lie but it also wasn’t fully because of Wanda just mostly “The mutant school is what’s best for me. I have so much I have to learn with my powers and they can help. I do want you to be happy Wanda but what about my happiness?”

“Your right. I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do without you.”

“Pietros here and you’ll have Vision you’ll be alright.” Wanda internally flinches but knows you're right

She hugs Y/n “Don’t forget to call me”

“I will.” She never does.

i think it’s kind of interesting with the hexside tracks convo. i actually think construction magic is the only coven-specific type of magic we’ve ever seen hunter do? with that big earth fist he whacked amity with in eclipse lake. i don’t know if that would be an argument for or against him taking it as a class, but i feel like everything else we’ve ever seen him do is like,, not tied to a coven besides that one spell

(this is related to this old post but i put the answer in my drafts and the option of posting it vanished from my memory lmao)

tbh that IS true, i forgor it can be technically considered construction magic kxjsjks

i feel like there are so many spells and different "sub magic types" and magic courses that are kinda unclear which track they'd be taught at or where they fall under, especially since there are some tracks/magic types that we've only seen used in a very general way; like construction or oracle. we've seen manyyyy possibilities for some tracks, like abomination (like what darius vs alador vs amity can do, how differently it can be used) or bard (how at first glance it just feels like a "yeah we use instruments to fight and do spells" but then we also find out how much you can truly do with it and how much actually falls under bard magic through raine) or illusions (everything that gus, and graye, have been shown to do) etc. but some tracks/covens we have really just been kinda... shown from a very surface level lol

hell, i still wonder why anyone would ever choose a potion coven in a world during belos' reign, where you have to choose to only have one magic type, because... from all we've seen it seems like in order to make potions you don't really need any magic (having magic can help but it's not necessarily needed) so what magic DO you get??? you have to get something (maybe magic that can assist you in making potions?) but we have no clear idea what. also considering how oftentimes potion-making is also tied in with other magic types (like plants or healing or beast-keeping) it almost feels like it should be a sub-type of each magic or an addition rather than its own thing. BUT KXJSHSK YEAH like, we don't know! i wish it was more clearly fleshed out in the show.

there's also the fact that now that belos is gone, the society is able to take back their culture and history and practices that were lost to time and as we can see in the epilogue they're actively working on making the boiling isles less... belos-influenced. they're working on that process of decolonization and it's going to be a long LOOONG while until traces of belos' impact completely disappear, but there are already clear changes. the sky is clear again (just like it was in the "savage ages" - a contrast to the pollution we see in the emperor's coven era), palismen are being carved again and palistroms are coming back from being endangered, selkidomus is doing good, the once a police precinct in latissa is now a hospital and the hostile architecture around it (the spikes) is gone, there's now a way to remove sigils and everyone is free to pursue whatever they want. the society is healing. etc.

and covens, magic being split into these clear subtypes- was not ever really something natural. like yeah, there ARE magic types that seem very clearly "thematic" like you can very clearly separate bard magic from plant magic, and a witch can be naturally skilled in a particular thing (like willow or gus) but there are also some spells that overlap and some that seemingly don't fit into any covens at all. belos made up covens in order to limit witches' bodily autonomy and control their abilities, in order to seem more powerful and to create this structure of power. so i imagine that if you are in a coven, in any coven, there are spells that don't quite fit any of them, or some that fit all.

i. ngl i completely derailed the ask and forgot where i was going with this LMAO but yeah

#but yeah i feel like technically even if hunter had 'done' a construction-type spell it's not sth he's like Specifically interested in #BUT he's also interested in magic in general so i'm guessing it still Would be interesting to him to a degree #just not his main interest but some interest nonetheless! he'd be excited to try and learn what he can #nicole answers #Anonymous #my toh talk

trick or treat 👻🎃❤️

thank you @whinlatter 💕

you get a snippet of my shitty first draft of the Beasts tribute fic i started. for non-whinlatters, Beasts is her absolutely astonishing Ginny & the Weasley family fic that follows her postwar seventh year at Hogwarts, intertwined with glimpses of her development as a child & teenager, and there's a brief mention of a care facility where recipients of the Dementor's kiss live out the rest of their lives. Highly recommend this fic - it's just such a rich portrayal of the whole Weasley family, the fraught rebuilding process after the war, and Ginny's emotional & intellectual life.

tw: illness, death, and very unpleasant hospital stuff

this idea of what happens to people after they've been kissed by a dementor really spoke to me for a few reasons - i couldn't help but think about some of the things i've seen in my professional life. i work in a healthcare specialty i can't really name without potentially doxing myself (it's a small world) and early in my career i occasionally participated in testing to determine death by neurologic criteria - essentially, flat lines on an eeg, which is a really terrible thing to see if you know what you're looking at. it's a difficult thing to even comprehend, especially for a parent - that a child who was splashing in the pool a few hours ago, now seemingly asleep, will not wake up, is damaged so profoundly that they they will never take another unassisted breath. i also regularly worked with people who were incarcerated in the state prison system. it taught me a lot about - let's keep it short and just say inhumanity: in the american healthcare system and especially where it intersects with the criminal justice system, and, unfortunately, in some of my colleagues and the way they cared for their incarcerated patients.

in my current role i work with a lot of patients who just aren't going to get better, who are entirely dependent on caregivers to keep them alive and maintain their quality of life. and it is - i hope you'll understand when i say this i say it as someone who is devoted and privileged to do it - often difficult and demoralizing work. for families and for staff.

my youngest sister was one of these people: she suffered a hemorrhage in infancy which resulted in serious damage to her brain. she never spoke, walked, fed or bathed herself. it was difficult to know what she understood, perceived, felt, wanted. she was a beautiful, calm, sweet-natured child who was easy to love; not every family in our position is so fortunate. it was also easy for us to project on her an interior life that may or may not have really been there, which was a great comfort to my mother. but her daily care needs were enormous, taxing, frustrating, and her inevitable deterioration and death were devastating to witness.

obviously i don't really want to equate people with brain injuries and whatever other special needs with people in the hp universe who no longer have souls - that's part of the reason i've struggled with this fic. there are a lot of potentially-unanswerable questions about the humanity and interiority of victims of soul-removal in this fictional context, but i think the only responsible practice for a clinician working with such patients would be to assume that they still feel, experience, and need what any other person who cannot care for themselves would. including not just nutrition, hygiene, etc. but also company and touch and positive regard. and that whatever crime, even atrocity, they might have committed is irrelevant to my duty to them as a caregiver. but that is easier to say than to do, consistently, every day, at home or in a medical facility, and i know from experience that it won't always happen that way.

anyway, if for some reason you have read this far, here's an excerpt from the story, complete with first-draft placeholders where i decided to rethink some dumb on-the-nose character names, lol. it needs to be rewritten from scratch, honestly. it's set at the end of GoF, when Madame Pomfrey is tasked with removing the house-elf Winky from Barty Crouch, Jr.'s side after he has received the kiss, and I've decided for the purposes of this silly little fic that she has experience in the care facility where he'll end up.

working title is My Beautiful Dead Friends.

Minerva saw the whole horrible thing and it was all over her face, what it had done to her. Poppy has never seen it happen, and neither had [supervisor], which seemed to irritate him; he'd read about it in books. The soul emits a colourless glow as it exits, he said, visible for an instant before it is consumed. For some time in the eighteenth century the Kiss was performed in public, on a platform raised above Diagon Alley. People would bring their children. There were woodcuts depicting the moment, dementors in swirling curlicues, the bound hands and dark mouth of the convicted, and the soul, represented as a star or sometimes a tiny naked man, caught in the moment of transit. It was striking how carefully, how delicately, the little soul was etched, with lines of light coming off it. Even the soul of a murderer, a beautiful shining thing. Minerva had marched Barty to the infirmary dozens of times in his schooldays. Sometimes because Horace wasn't fond of the long walk, nor of standing up to his own students, but often because it was one of her Gryffindors who'd done it to him. He was there all the time, hexed, cursed, punched in the face. It seemed, at first, simply the lot of the delicate-featured son of the head of law enforcement to be regularly trounced. He gave at least as good as he got and sometimes there'd be an entire queue of students behind him covered in boils, missing or extra limbs, pinching their nostrils to stop the bats from flapping out. Barty might chuckle through a mouth of blood while she saw to him, or he might writhe and moan as if in agony; Poppy had a suspicion that it depended on whether there was a Hogmeade weekend or an exam coming up. It wasn't only the usual interhouse skirmishes with Barty—Once, he limped to the hospital wing on his own, so badly beaten she had to put him out for a while and repair his perforated intestines with dozens of tiny movements of the tip of her wand. When he came to, she asked him what had happened, who had done this. He grinned at her with half his teeth gone. "Jusht the cosht of doing businesh, Madame," he said. Bubbles of red on his lips as he spoke. She found out later from Filius that he'd scammed a bunch of Ravenclaws into a sort of pyramid scheme, buying and reselling junk from Zonko's to each other. She was sure he didn't need the money: his robes were clasped with real-silver fasteners in the shapes of snakes. His mother came to take him home for the weekend after that one. He pressed the side of his face into the bosom of her robes and sobbed pitifully while Poppy left them to it behind a screen. On his way out the door, later, he waved to her, like, see you soon! Now he looks content, drowsy, like he's just had a meal. It was always hard to square the faces of the Kissed with what they'd done. Barty could almost be his seventh-year self, resting in the lull of a potion—though he might have already been a murderer by then, she realised. His hands, which had once aimed waves of pain so brutal they'd evicted poor Alice and Frank Longbottom from their own minds, are laced together at rest on his stomach. His thumbnail picks occasionally at the wand-callus on his forefinger. Some unlucky trainee healer will be alarmed by that one day. The Kissed do those little things. Their eyes follow you, sometimes, across the room. They smack their lips when they swallow the bubblemint-flavoured nutrition potion. They sit up in bed. "Look—he's doing it—I've told you—" Llanzo's mother had once cried, summoning the whole staff to come and see. She was tickling Llanzo's ribs with her fingers, and his lips had pulled back, his chest was jerking with spasms of laughter, no sound but a sort of clicking in his throat. "It's a reflex," [supervisor] told her. Llanzo's younger brother slumped in his bedside chair and stared sourly at his mother. She got angry, understandably, and shouted a bit before storming out.

"A rat will make a rhythmic sound if you tickle its belly," [supervisor] told Poppy in private. "You can call it laughter, if you like."

Llanzo was the only one who ever got visitors. He'd been accused of leading a nine-year-old witch away from her parents at Gray's beach and leaving her face-down, strangled, in the shallow mud of the Thames. His mother had given an alibi, which wasn't enough to keep him from being arrested, and he'd been shipped off to Azkaban to be held pending trial. As they'd approached the jagged rocks of the island he'd broken his bonds somehow and heaved himself over the side of the boat. Escape, suicide, or just some motiveless panic, it wasn't clear, but when they'd caught him and hauled him onshore the Dementors had fallen on him at once. He was seventeen, on his summer holidays. Lying in bed on the ward a year later he still looked like a child. Poppy wasn't sentimental, as a rule, but at the end of shift after those visits she'd sometimes have to have a little cry in the car park before she apparated home. "If you ask me I think she's on to something," Catherine told her once, in low tones, eyes on [supervisor]'s office door. "I've seen things. The way they look up at you. You can leave them on the pot for an hour, they won't do a thing, then as soon as they're back on the bed, haven't even had time to get a nappy out—" she made a squelching sound in her cheek. "Pure spite, I swear."

His mother came back the following week, brother in tow, and sat with him reading from Quidditch Through the Ages, turning the book to show him the moving illustrations. Sometimes his gaze moved to land on them and sometimes it didn't. "He was a Chaser," she told Catherine, who'd come to give him a bath. "Fast as anything. His Dad and I were both hopeless on a broom, but he's—" She swallowed hard. Llanzo was smiling faintly, as he often did when he got his bath. His breath came in soft vocal sounds that were almost sighs. "—he's my superstar," she finished. When they left, she made his brother say goodbye to him. Poppy was scrubbing up at the bedside sink to do his skin integrity assessment. Llanzo's brother gripped his hand, and leaned down as if to kiss him on the cheek. "Fucking die," he whispered, lips almost touching Llanzo's motionless face.

EVERYTIME, kjw ♡︎

♡︎ pairing | kim jungwoo x male reader

♡︎ summary | having a toxic relationship with jungwoo was exhausting because even if you tried to forget him by doing everything, you were always found running around his hand. now that you've decided that you've had enough, the same scenario still happened, but this time, it's much rougher.

♡︎ author's note | this was on my drafts like for the past few months and i just decided to continue it now lol. i based this fic heavily on ariana grande's "everytime", and i enjoyed writing this a lot. reblogs are highly appreciated ♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎

It was a night full of crying and arguments for you and your boyfriend, Jungwoo, and it wasn't completely a new thing for you — this argument wasn't the first time that you've fought with Jungwoo for disregarding you to flirt with other people, and this wasn't the only time you've tried to break things off with him.

Tears heavily streamed down your face as you cried, packing your things up as you wiped off all the tears. "Don't you dare fucking try to show up on me again after this. I don't want to see your face, you goddamn dickhead."

"Tsk. As if you won't come back to me again," Jungwoo sneered, and that's the thing, he's right — you keep on coming back to him despite how toxic your relationship is. You never cared about how stupid you look for trying to salvage a falling relationship, you just can't help it — you love him so much, deeply at that, that you just can't stop yourself from holding onto his words everytime, however the same couldn't be said for your, now, ex-boyfriend.

You completely despise that fact, you just keep on falling weak on your knees the moment he tells you to come back, and that's the complete scenario tonight. Trying to take Jungwoo out of your mind, you went to a party with Haechan, a man secretly having feelings for you but can't do anything to act on his infatuation for the fear of getting beaten up by your boyfriend.

Although having the alcohol you've been drinking take a toll on you, you still managed to walk towards your best friend finely. "HYUCKIE!" you chirped, sobered. Haechan turned around to face you, smiling brightly as he pulled and hugged you by your waist. He then leaned down to your ear before nibbling it, "you look so goddamn handsome tonight," murmured the man, his voice was soft and silent as he was heedful of Jungwoo hearing his advances despite the two of you breaking up.

Your eyes lingered around the whole area, trying to figure out if Jungwoo was there, prior to concluding that he wasn't anywhere near you — for you at least. Culminating the thought of Jungwoo's absence around the area, you leaned your head closer to Haechan, your forehead touching against his as you looked at him deeply in the eyes before placing your lips against his plump ones. Haechan's hold on your waist firmed up as he deepened the kiss.

Unlike your boyfriend, Haechan's taste was sweet, something similar to the tang of strawberries, different from Jungwoo who customarily tasted like inebriant liquors and cigarettes. The make out session was gentle, soft and loving, unlike the ones you've had with Jungwoo, who did nothing but to be a hungry beast for your lips. The session was going smoothly, your tongues intertwining and swirling with each other while you danced your lips together, when you felt a strong grip on your arm that made you break the kiss.

Your mouth hung agape the moment you saw who grabbed you. "J-jungwoo?" you stuttered as your eyes met his angered ones. At this point, you don't know what to feel, a lot of emotions are coming inside your stomach, but the arising fear that you felt dominated all the feelings running through your nerves that you started quivering right in your position.He grabbed you harshly by your wrists, pulling you away from Haechan as he shot a burning glare at the said man. By complete fear, you were left with no choice but to get along with his rough actions — mainly to avoid getting hurt, but the constant fright remained intact within your body that you were not able to look at him properly throughout the whole time.

A loud wince escaped your mouth caused by Jungwoo forcefully slamming you against the wall, fury washed through his eyes as he growled in anger, "Why the fuck are you with that brat? Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?!" This is one thing about Jungwoo when he's jealous, he becomes so intimidating that no one dares to speak up when he's speaking, but that doesn't stop you from attempting to stand up for yourself. "Why the hell do you care?! We're fucking over, didn't I make that clear enough for your stupid brain to understand?" You took all the courage inside your body to speak up, but the discomfort of Jungwoo's deep look at you is starting to eat you up alive, making you feel small as he released a dark chuckle.

"I don't remember agreeing to break up with you, baby boy," your boyfriend sterned before throwing you harshly on his bed. It wasn't that Jungwoo was a complete abuser, he never put his hands on you nor did he tried to hurt you physically, but he's manipulative — never did he gave any thoughts or care about trying to listen up to you every time you're having an argument, so it's a big surprise to anyone how are you able to keep this relationship going.

Sitting down beside you, Jungwoo began to softly attack your neck with kisses. "Will you leave me alone too, baby? Are you just like my exes who left me alone after loving me, hm?" He was playing mind games again to gaslight you, and that's another toxic trait from your boyfriend that you couldn't help but fall for; the way he always use his bad past in relationships to break and get through your emotional walls is so frustrating, but you can't help but pity the man, and get back to him immediately as soon as he asks you to. You were helplessly wrapped around his fingers.

"I'm not like them— I promise! I won't leave you alone—" you were about to finish what you were saying when Jungwoo grabbed your face by the jaw before kissing you, eagerness dominating his advances as he easily took control of the make out session. Your boyfriend grabbed your ass before holding you tightly as he carried you to bring you further onto the bed, straddling you on his lap. You wrapped your limbs around his body while grinding needily, your mouth occasionally letting out moans as Jungwoo inserted his hands inside your pants and started palming your cock.

Jungwoo smirked into the kiss, seeing how needy he instantly made you just by kissing you. He pulled away from you before latching his lips onto your skin. He palmed you harder, gripping and stroking your cock faster as he sunk his teeth on your shoulders, leaving love bites on the areas anyone could see easily. You moaned into the feeling, this is the first time that he's bitten you during sex, sure he has been quite possessive of you all these times but you had never seen him this way that he's starting to bite you out of jealousy — has Haechan kissing you really took a toll on him?

As he continued to bite and suck on your neck and shoulders, he simultaneously began taking all of the clothing articles covering your bare skin — he started by taking off your shirt, then pants before your boxers prior to him doing the same thing to himself. He stopped leaving marks on you to take a look at the art he's made, glaring at you with a hateful yet lustful gaze. Throughout your relationship, Jungwoo has already seen your bare body, but the way he looked at you was still somehow able to make you feel little and helpless under him. Planting a trail of kisses from your jawline down to your abdomen, Jungwoo made sure that he will leave very obvious marks all over your body, murmuring very possessive phrases as he does so, "You're fucking mine, boy. Not Haechan's nor anyone's~ I own you as much as you own me~" you felt butterflies as soon as you heard those words from him, his hot breath hitting your skin, causing you to feel needier than you ever were.

"So needy just for me~" he remarked again as he seductively swirled his thumb around the slit of your leaking cock. You squirmed as you grew desperate, "Jungwoo~ stop teasing and just touch me~!"

"Tsk. It's daddy to you, my bitch. Are you that dumb of a whore to forget my name in bed? I haven't fucked you yet, yet you're already growing stupid. How fucking pathetic." The degradation turned you on even more. Oh, how sexy it was to be degraded by him. "But since you fucking asked, be thankful that I'm touching you tonight," he continued, which made you glad that your needs will be soon replaced by pleasure.

Wordlessly, Jungwoo plunges his fingers into your hole as he leaned his way down to your cock before wrapping his lips around your dripping cock, causing you to hitch out a breathless moan. You gripped the bedsheets tightly as he began swirling his tongue around your shaft while taking your cock deeper, the pace of his digits fucking your hole getting faster from time to time, making you a dumb moaning mess. The pleasure you've been feeling right now is so intense that drool has started seeping through the corners of your lips, everytime he hits your prostate repeatedly while playing with your dick using his mouth makes you squirm with no contact to your control.

As you felt your climax building up, an abrupt action from Jungwoo of stopping his actions made you whine due to the delay of your orgasm, resulting in you whimpering helplessly.

"I'll let you cum soon, puppy, but for now, make daddy feel good, hm?" he said before pushing you roughly to lay you down on the bed.

"Spread your legs open, dear~" you heard a stern command from him, to which you immediately complied. Gushes of wind are what you felt before Jungwoo aligned his cock on the entrance of your hole, teasing the tip of his cock on your rim, causing you to clench over nothing.

Incoherent moans were being heard from you as you clenched your walls tightly around his cock due to the ecstasy of getting your prostate hit on repeatedly. "Fucking pleasured as you should be~ no one can make you feel like I make you, slut. No. One." He was right, for the umpteenth time, again, out of all the relationships you've been into, only Jungwoo has made you feel like this, made you feel the sensations you've never felt before in your life, and you love every single piece of those sensations.

Unexpectedly, Jungwoo shoved all his length inside you. It wasn't as painful as you thought it'd be due to him fingering you earlier as a prep, but you still couldn't help but squeal in pleasure as you arched your back. He stretched and hit all of the sensory nerves on your walls way too perfect that your vision began to get blurry as you blabbered random phrases while moaning his name out loud.

"You keep leaving me for that bastard Haechan. Hating and cursing at me repeatedly, yet there you are right now, coming back to me everytime… moaning and thirsting nastily like a cheap slut for my cock." he degraded, and he's just as right as it sounds to you, you've grown attached to him that he could easily manipulate and control you in a matter of words. "But that's right, moan for me like the little bitch you are for my cock, baby boy. Let them hear who makes you feel good," he continued with a cackle while pounding into you.

Repeated arches of your back, your legs trembling as you clutched the sheets tightly, it was clear that you were nearing your much awaited orgasm, and it didn't take too much time for you to ride your orgasm as your cock spurted out your load on your stomach. The peak of your orgasm sending you to cloud nine as you screamed in so much ecstasy, but Jungwoo wasn't having any of this, and in no time, Jungwoo was fucking you against the glass walls of the condominium, pressing your back hardly against it as he places you like a display for anyone to watch you as he ruins you like a toy.

Having the thought of the thrill of being watched had you moaning both in arousal and in overstimulation — never had you thought that you'd like the kinks that Jungwoo possesses, but there's no complaint to it. "Who can fuck you this good?" He asked.

"YOU, ONLY YOU!" you yelled in response but your boyfriend wasn't satisfied, causing you to receive a harsh slap on your thighs. "Say my fucking name, slut." He added.

"ONLY KIM JUNGWOO CAN FUCK ME THIS GREAT— FUCK! NO ONE ELSE CAN MAKE ME SCREAM BUT HIM AND HIS COCK," you screamed so loud that it wouldn't be a complete surprise if anyone had been hearing you right now.

Jungwoo fucked you harder, watching sternly on how his cock goes in and out of your hole. Your hole gaping to the girth of his cock fueled his ego more as he thrusted deeply, disregarding everything but his chase to his own orgasm. You could feel his cock twitch inside you as he inches closer to his climax, and so you were.

Loud, sinful noises filled the room up along with the rough skin slapping, and soon enough, the two of you took on your own releases. You tightened your walls around him and it made him spill more cum as he hugged you tightly. The heavy orgasm that the two of you had just rode made you panting hard, breathlessly. You fall weak against each other's bodies as you try to compose yourselves.

Jungwoo carefully laid you down on the mattress before pulling out. A smirk carved his lips as he watched his load flow out of your hole. 'Perfect,' he thought.

He then laid beside you before pulling you into a loving cuddle. He was about to talk things out with you when he saw you peacefully snoring out of exhaustion.

Yeah, he'll just settle things up for tomorrow, but for now, he still has a bastard to beat up.

I was tagged by @cruulsummer

The rules are simple - find a sentence, or excerpt, that includes the words you’re given and paste it in, and include a link to the finished story if you want. But honestly, these are guidelines at best - do what you want.

I’m tagging: @lunarmoment @scorpioaqua @laestrellapanda @raevenlywrites @blushroomx @fiora-miriel

My words to find: Red - Sleep - Writhe - Shallow - Bet - Safe - Look - Anger - Help

Your words are: Intention - Suit - Dark - Smirk - Heavy - Spread - Music - Stop - Alcohol

Red and Help (double whammy because it’s a long bit!) from The Invention of Gravity (a Gravity Falls 1800’s AU that will probably never be finished…):

“What’s your name?” Mabel asked.

“Wendy Corduroy!” Grunkle Stan shouted from the ground. The three looked down. “Get in here!”

Wendy descended from the tree in a series of exact movements that told the twins she’d been slowing down for them before. The twins observed as she ran into the house after their uncle, long red hair mostly out of its cap flowing freely behind her.

The two looked at each other, finding themselves higher up the tree than they’d ever intended, and now alone.

“…How do we get down?” asked Dipper.

Inside, Wendy Corduroy was telling Stan, “I can chop wood, make pegs, I can empty up a mattress and fill it up and sew it back up again with help, I can almost cook on the spit without burning it, and I can clean and shoot a rifle.”

“You’re already hired, Miss Corduroy, I spoke with your papa,” Stan told her.

Sleep from There’s Probably a Moral at the End Somewhere (my Teen titans play-format Fairytale AU, posted here)

STARFIRE: She is floating two feet above the ground. You who know her best, is this how she sleeps?

ROBIN: I don’t even know if she sleeps. I don’t know anything about her. And everything I thought I knew about her was wrong.

I’ve got nothing for Writhe, or Squirm, or Thrash, so I offer you Struggle lol, from a roooough draft of my original story Surot (found absolutely nowhere):

“But if the bathrooms are closed, you can get the key from the hut over there, just ask for Laura…”

I stopped myself. Stella looked kind of jittery and nervous. When I’d motioned to the bathroom she’d dove forth, and now that I’d presented her with a challenge, her eyebrows arched, like she was slightly shocked she’d have to struggle in this way—or like she was calculating she’d spent too long talking to the class freak and was panicking about it.

“Hold on,” I say, and I hold my camera to my chest as I go to the hut myself, all the while wondering why I insist on doing things for pretty girls. It made me feel like a boy. Or like a rough maid from a period drama doing stuff for her delicate ladies.

Shallow from The Club of Unauthorized Heroes Year 3 (yet unpublished):

Dick’s breaths were shallow. His mind was stuck on the here and now. He felt like he should be reviewing the mission—searching for where they went so wrong. But really all he could think about was how much Gar hated hospitals. How annoyed he’d be when he woke up.

Bet from Feral (an entry for BBRae Week 2022, found here):

“That was cool. Quick and clean. Bit sloppy at the end, though. Anyone could see what you were doing.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” The girl’s voice was a grave whisper. Nearly a hiss.

“You chose a good area, too,” Gar went on regardless. “Lots of distracted loaded pockets around. I bet there’s even some left for me.”

Safe from Over Again (my Teen Titans-Miraculous Ladybug AU, first two chapters found here):

He took in her sarcasm and decided to one-up her. “Hm. You tell your crush you like them yet?”

She groaned, all her coolness gone. “I never should have told you about that.”

“But you did,” he reminded her with a big grin.

And she still didn’t know why. How had she told Beast Boy when she hadn’t even told Kori? She guessed she felt he was safe. Kori might try to set her up with Gar if she knew; it wouldn’t take her long to figure out who her crush was. But Beast Boy was detached from her world—he went to her school, but he couldn’t let her know that.

Look from The tide is full, the moon lies fair (my only She Ra fanfic, a Seamista oneshot, posted here):

He laughed, and it rumbled through his chest. “Really. A small fire. Without me needing to be there?”

“Maybe the venue missed you,” she returned, moving away to look at his face—his handsome face with the jaw and the ridiculously sharp moustache and the hyper-expressive eyes. She’d missed the chance to really look at it, before.

She tilted her head up to kiss him, and the whole world fell into place. To come back into his arms after a long time was a feeling she wouldn’t trade for anything.

And finally, Anger from The Club of Unauthorized Heroes Year 2 (which is published here, but not this bit yet!):

Gar looked back and forth between the faces in the car windows. “Jen?” He turned to Terra, whose face turned from anger to panic when he did.

“You haven’t figured it out yet, slug-face?” taunted Mikron. “Are we gonna have to spell it out for you?”

“Figure out what?” Gar returned. “That you’re Hive? We knew that for ages.”

“Do you wanna tell him?” Baran asked Terra. He was clearly having the time of his life.

#again. sorry I’m over a month late to this tag! #The very sad circumstance that I had writer’s block on a week off work of all times is the only reason I got to this #that also means I hate every line of this ha😭. anyway #tag games #writing tag game #fanfiction tag #writing

[silvercap]

Do you have any tips for new writers?

Also is there a way to not get too caught up in engagement and stats? I'm kinda having this problem and it is taking the motivation out of things a bit 😭

That's a good question! This post got a little long, so I'm implementing a break lol

I don't exactly have specific rules, but I think my biggest tip for someone writing for the first time is to go easy on yourself and give yourself time to get better. I struggle a lot with perfectionism and the nasty habit of being harder on myself than anyone else ever will be, but it's important to acknowledge that we are our own worst critics and that improvement is only measurable by practicing through the early stuff. I encourage a lot of experimenting, especially when you're starting out--try new things and ways of writing and slowly collect the ones that work for you. I've taken plenty of classes on the logistics of writing and technical tips, but those aren't necessarily helpful for everyone to focus on when they're starting out. I think in first drafts and initial writing, it's better to write from whatever urge possesses you to do so and not get caught up in the technicalities. Those are often more helpful when editing, but it really depends on the way your brain works!

Over time, you'll start to build up a sense of flow and style and the general rhythm of writing engaging paragraphs, which brings me to my next point--reading. It's been said before, but I'll say it again: Reading is one of the best ways to develop a sense of rhythm and effective imagery/idiom/etc. I've also spent plenty of classes analyzing the effectiveness of (I forget the exact word) elements like metaphor or allegory or symbolism or anaphora or any other technical term you can think of that is commonly used to convey specific literary concepts. Reading, on its own, is a great tool for subconsciously noticing the flow of writing and getting a sense for it, but sometimes just taking notice of certain paragraphs that feel right to you or just hit in the right way can allow you to analyze them more deeply and find out what exactly it is about the words that works. Everyone has their own preferences! That might seem daunting, but often the best resources we as writers have is each other, and everyone is inspired by someone else at some point. I'm totally here to take asks and answer any questions I may have brought up because I'm rambling a little bit and like I said: technical aspects aren't necessarily helpful to focus on all at once, and I recommend trying one out at a time to see how it works for you. If that makes sense!

My biggest piece of advice is to have fun with it! Experiment. Put in that weird little thing you think nobody else will like, because often those are the best parts of writing. Do what you feel sounds right! Not to Wayne Gretzky you, but you can only get better or 'succeed' by trying it out and seeing where it takes you. We write because we have ideas we want to share or explore for ourselves, and trying to force yourself to write something you're not passionate about is rarely lucrative.

As for engagement and stats--now, that's a whole other beast. We all want to be noticed and appreciated and commented on, and it's hard sometimes to post a fic and have less engagement than you hoped, but I have a couple things I like to keep in mind for this. It's discouraging, for sure, but people on ao3 or similar sites don't always show their appreciation even if they read and liked your fic. The only way we can fix this as a collective community is to lead by example and comment/kudos/share the fics we read in the hopes that it will catch on and to spread the love to everyone else. I also find it helpful to think about the people who do leave kudos--even if there are only one or two of them--as not just random usernames, but actual living, breathing people who read your fic and enjoyed it. There's that post somewhere about ten likes not seeming like much in the scheme of social media and the influence that virality has had on the internet in recent years, but to have ten people standing in a room with you giving you a thumbs up? That's a lot of people. Even if you get very little engagement, that is not a reflection of you as a person or even necessarily your skill. I know that this can be draining, but the only way to try and build an audience is to post. Sometimes it takes a long time for fics to be noticed. Sometimes things fail. It's up to you how you want to take that, and I can't tell you any of this for certain. I just know from my personal experience that finding a community is only accomplishable by interacting and posting and sharing and existing, and often someone will come along when you don't expect it.

None of this is guaranteed. Hell, take everything I say with a critical eye and more than a few grains of salt, because this is only my experience and god am I still learning. These are things that help me, and I hope some of this is helpful to you, too! What I can tell you for certain is that I encourage you to write and pursue it as far as you want to, and even farther than that. It takes hard work. It can feel like nobody is listening. And ughhhhh the writer's block suuuuuucks. But, you're not alone in this. Anything you've felt is something another writer has felt before, and I think, at least, that there's comfort in knowing you're following in the footsteps of even the writers we consider to be great in both their success and flaws. Maybe I'm being a little lofty ahaha, but it comes down to whether or not you want to write. You can only decide how this goes, and it takes time to work through the barriers of both skill and the anxious fear of not being seen. I see you! And I'm here in the asks anytime you want :)

And even if you fail and give up--you're no less of a writer for it, because you tried, and I think that matters. The lovely thing about being alive and being writers is that we can change and grow, and there will always be a place for you among creators if you choose to join them, no matter how amateur you feel or how long you do it for.

#idk if this answers your question lmao #asks #I could also maybe find more practical resources for physically writing if that's what you were hoping for ahaha

[ficlet] unconventionally, ever after

Series: Genshin Impact Characters/Pairing: Kavetham Rating: T Summary: Al-Haitham and Kaveh cogitate over the benefits of a consensual staged union. No strings attached, of course—they're divorced, not married, thank you very much. A/N: Based on Liz's tweet-prompt "Al-Haitham stages a Fake Relationship AU with Kaveh ('for the tax benefits') because he'd read it in a novel once" + my own self-challenge to write an entire scene just using dialogues alone, with little to no action tag or descriptive prose. Each dialogue line needs to be distinctive enough so that it's obvious who the speaker is, even without being named. This was a pretty fun challenge and I think I sort of managed? I love writing dialogues for these two lol. Can also be read on AO3. ※※※ “For ‘tax benefits’...? Huh! Bold of you to desecrate the sanctity of marriage for your own convenience with such frivolity. Wouldn’t this just be considered illegal anyway?” “It’s not illegal if it’s willingly consensual between appropriately informed adults. What a married pair—or a married polycule, in some cases—does within the confines of their home and with each other is no one’s business but their own. You’ve already told everyone we live together, after all.” There's a drumming of fingers, a wearisome sigh after a tensed pause; and then— “All right, fair enough… N-No, wait, wait! That’s not the same thing! Did you really think I would agree to fake-marry you just for the benefits?! What do you take me for!” “Well, I still do retain the additional staff benefits that I received while I was the Acting Grand Sage. Benefits which, coincidentally, extend to the spouse and immediate family members, and which also provides a stipend for travel and meal allowances, even for personal matters outside the purview of the Akademiya.” “You mean… I would be able to claim allowances for all the desert expeditions and work assignments I take on?” “Within the approved budget limit, of course.” “Huh, that would be convenient. Ugh! I loathe that I’m even considering this. I’m appalled, Haitham—how dare you dangle all these enticing benefits to my face like one would dangle Harra fruits before a famished Sumpter Beast! At least have the decency to offer it with a proper fake-proposal! Even if this is doomed to remain a false relationship, did you think I would be as uncouth about romance as you? Hmph…. W-Wait, stop, what are you doing? W-Why are you kneeling down right now?!” A tilt of the head, a questioning but unwavering teal gaze.  “Hm? You said you wanted a fake-proposal. So, would it feel more authentic to you if I propose everything I said earlier while being down on one knee now? Frankly, I don’t really see the point since my intent remains true and the same regardless, whether I’m standing or kneeling. But if you still insist…” “……..” “?? Kaveh, why are you dragging me out the door? I haven’t finished proposing yet.” “We’re going to the Sanctuary of Surasthana to find Lesser Lord Kusanali, and we’re going to request her assistance to officiate this marriage right this instance.” “I see.” “For the record, you’re still the least romantic person I know. It’s almost disgusting how much I put up with you.” “Ohh? But I’ve never strived to be perceived as such. So, really, that’s more on you.” “S-Shut up. Stop talking already!” Kaveh doesn’t glance back as he continues to drag his roommate down the street after him, missing the ghost of a smile, the hint of unvoiced affection that flits across Al-Haitham’s expression now. —End— _______ End notes: - This was first drafted in early December in script-form. But I decided it reads better as proper dialogues and editing the scene for posting here.

- In the original script-form, the final line is basically just written as " Al-Haitham: :) " lmao.

OC Name Meanings

Rules: Put down an OC or more and tell what their name means.

Thanks for the tag, Anna! 💜 @starlit-hopes-and-dreams

you know what time it is. time for an open tag.

When I was a kid, my parents had these physical books of baby names and their meanings. I've always liked to write and create characters, so you know I was obsessed with those books. There was one in particular I more or less just kept (at that point it was clear they were done having kids, lol). I mean, that thing was tattered. The cover came clean off. Sometimes I was using it for the stories I was writing; sometimes, I was literally just reading it like a book.

So, as you might expect, I always take great care when naming my characters. I like to choose names with deep symbolic meanings that fit their characterization.

Nope lol I literally just pick names that sound cool or that come into my head at that moment.

Let's see how I did with the crew from The Prince of Thieves / The Queen of Lies.

Sources: Baby Names | Baby Center | Nameberry, aka the first three websites that came up in my search

Breanna: noble | strong, hill | virtuous, honourable

I wanted to make her full name her something else that looks similar, but when I searched up the pronunciation, it wouldn't abbreviate to Bree, which I had very randomly decided on, so she became Breanna instead. Someone should tell TQOL Breanna that her name means "strong" — I'm sure she'll be astonished.

From TPOT: Bree saw hope and fucking grabbed it. She heard Gysborne tell her she was going to her death, and she hurled herself toward her chance at life. Bree Cooper is still clinging to that hope, and it is beautiful.

This is probably NOT going to be in the final draft of TQOL so have it here: ...but she had a voice, and she could kick her legs, and being quiet and demure and the good wife had served her well for so long, and it had worked, more or less, but today, this was a different beast, a different foe, and if she didn’t fight, then there was no one else to fight for her, was there?

William: will, desire, helmet, protection | resolute protection

Honestly, he was invented on the spot and I probably named him after Will Turner, because pirates will never not be sexy? Anyway. Can't believe one of these names is actually spot on. Yay!

No, I vow. I have already decided, long known, in fact, that I will not betray the others. Baden Hatchett will never hear the names James Wardrew, Colette Haris, or Geoffrey Marks. I will take their names and the location to whatever unmarked grave they dig for me. I will take my own name into death with me if it means it will protect the others.

James: supplanter | heel

Another generic dude name I sort of picked out of nowhere... or, more likely, I probably saw one of the countless Outlander gifs that go around and stole Jamie Fraser's name. Jamie W. does act like a heel sometimes so that works. Jk Jamie we love you!

If you want IA, then you want me. If the man you arrested goes free, unharmed, I will turn myself in, and Iustitia aecum will be no more.

Colette: victory of the people | people of victory

Her name just happened! No rhyme or reason. Glad this is what it means though, who knows what would've happened to IA if it meant the opposite.

"And then Spider… She… When the chance to do something good for people who had nothing, when that opportunity finally presented itself… That little wooden coin… It changed my life.”

Geoffrey: God peace | peace, territory, pledge | pledge of peace

No idea why I picked this name—or why, around the same time, I also had a character called Jeff (Jeffersen) in Fen & Freddie. But hey! Geoff doesn't talk much, so the whole "peace" thing kind of tracks.

Geoff wraps his arms around me, presses his face against my neck, the unkempt, wiry hairs of his beard digging into my skin, a sublime sort of torment, innocent yet lethal. “Jamie. You are my family."

Allan: little rock | handsome | cheerful

He gets the honour of being the only character to have the same name as someone from the Robin Hood stories. (Will doesn't count.) He isn't particularly cheerful and I suspect he doesn't believe he's that handsome, but at least I got to name him Allan-a-Dale.

I scrabble on the muddy ground, finding a rock the size of my fist. Although my grip is weak from the cold, I hold it up.  ... I hurl it at him, trying to hit his head and falling embarrassingly short. “You’re one of them.” I feel around for another stone, find a smaller one, throw that, too.

Baden: bather | son of bade [other websites also gave me "battle" and "humble, confident"... idk 🤔]

Honestly? “Baden Hatchett” sounded really cool and villainous. I burst into laughter when I saw that the one site said "bather." This guy…he wants to cleanse the world of crime. 😂 But really, I just named him after the place in Germany (it’s also a small community in Ontario) for no other reason than that it sounds cool.

The delinquent rat before me, though, will never wash away the stain of his crimes—the years stealing riches from the pockets of hardworking men, of luring impressionable innocents into his gang of thieves. Nor can he brush away the bruise blossoming across his jaw, nor the blood dripping down his chin from his nose.

Curtis: courteous, courtly | polite

His name just happened. Constable Lenton needed a first name for TQOL and this was it. But it makes sense—guess this is why he's always so pissed off about someone using rude language about Breanna. 🙃 Swearing’s not very courteous at all, is it?

“Enough of your miserable attitude and your filthy tongue.” Curt’s voice was sharp enough to cut. Slick with disgust. Harsh with rage. “You want to mouth off to me or Constable Hatchett or any of us and take your licks for acting like a wild animal? Fine. But there’s a lady present, and you’ll behave accordingly. Do you understand?”

Verity: truth

I just really wanted her name to abbreviate to very so I could associate Colette with Much. That's the whole story there.

Rolling my eyes, nudging her with my elbow, I say, “Pay attention. Help me assuage some of my guilt.”

“Can’t do that,” Verie says gently, and I hate her for being right. “You ought to tell him whatever it is you lied about.”

Thank you so much for this tag! It was really fun. <3

#god this one started with my life story like a food blog #enjoy #tag game #oc name meanings #Geoff and Colette's meanings very really hard to pick quotes for so they're....adequate lol #also Jamie's quote requires a slightly creative interpretation of 'supplant' soooo #lps the prince of thieves #lps the queen of lies

[virtualbunny]

we have headcanons abt the first time goin at it after coming back from the war, but how about the LAST time before they left??

Oh I never thought about that🤭

Miller’s squad: doing it the last time before they got drafted

Gender neutral as always

⚠️NSFW⚠️

John Miller:

Tbh he doesn’t have that high of a sex drive💀

But it’s still… you know.. A need(?)

idk lol but if he’s gonna be away for a while

…Or forever (rip 😔)

He might as well make ~love~ with you for the last time

And oh boy

He didn’t think it was gonna be this hard being away from you

Mike Horvath:

Y’all are at it for a good couple of hours

In the beginning it was mostly foreplay and fooling around

In the middle of it was MAGICAL and very yeehaw let’s go cowgirl (*wink* wink*)

But in the end it was very emotional

Because again, you two didn’t know if it was going to be the last time in a while or forever (rip x2😔)

Daniel Jackson:

Emotional through out the whole time

Not like sobbing and crying about how much you’re gonna miss fucking each other

More like intimate, close body contact, body loving- fucking

With some spicy to it ofc because it’s Jackson

But seriously though

It’s very sweet and intimate

He’ll kiss all over you while telling you how much he’s gonna miss you as a whole person

Your wonderful mind and body both

And he’ll praise the lord and the whole spirits through the whole thing for giving him the most spectacular last time (rip x3😔) before getting drafted

Richard Reiben:

The opposite of Jackson lol

…Kinda

Well, he’s definitely more of a beast than Jackson

And that’s the way of him showing how much he’ll miss you

He won’t talk that much, maybe cuss from time to time because if he did he would start sobbing

He’s rough because his mind is full of soooo many thoughts at once and he has to concern at something else (you obvi) to as I mentioned not start sobbing his eyes out

At the end he’ll hold you close to him and kiss your neck over and over again, telling you how much he loves you and he is gonna miss you

(Thank the odds that he didn’t die)

Irwin Wade:

Mostly it’s missionary

He wants you close like if it was the last time he’ll ever hold you

He wants to look at your face like if it was the last time (rip x4😔)

It’s not much talking

And if it was, it would be whispering

Some tears would shed of course but nothing “dramatic”

Overall it’s wholesome, just like him🤭

Stanley Mellish:

He’s nasty

In a good way

Wants to do every position possible

It’s wholesome in a way

Idk in what way ‘cause he’s really going at it but whatever

It’s dirty, sweat dripping from both of you

Tbh, he wants to do it at every place he can think of

“I’m gonna fuck you as if I was suppose to die tomorrow“ (rip x5😔)

Timothy Upham:

Cries💀 (no it’s not full blown having a break down with snot running down his face)

But so do you

It’s just that he’s not gonna see you for a long while

And he’s afraid that it’s gonna be the last (not rip👍)

You’re probably on top

He’s a bit emotional to do all the work

But so are you

So it ends up in a spooning position

With him hugging you from behind and just thrusting slowly

Adrian Caparzo:

Nasty mf 2.0

Also wants to do it everywhere that he can think of

And the position

Be prepared for a long time

Even though he’s kinda rough it’s still romantic

Dirty talks in a sweet- romantic way if that makes sense

Thrusts like there’s no tomorrow (rip x6😔)

[deafeninggardenerpanda]

if we’ve covered some red flags, what are some of your green flag ships? like of those “fuck yesssssss” ones that you really enjoy

AYO SELF CARE HOURSSSSSS. i do genuinely like talking about the controversial ships but thank you for the positive vibes anon! love that

under the cut, just because the post is a little long:

actually im not super into shipping i think? i definitely value being able to imagine a dynamic for even the nichest pairings and have a lot of fun stretching or emphasizing certain parts of each characters' personalities to get them to work the best while opening up the potential for some development on each characters' side (thats exactly why im doing the ship bingo! its a ton of fun!), but theres very few things i actually like. Ship beyond surface level thoughts tbh. and recently the things i actually do ship have gotten increasingly niche. so enjoy this ramble that mostly pertains to specifically me and only me LMAO /lh

metadede ofc is the big one. not niche obviously. extremely beloved by me hiiiiiiiiii. they just have so much to work with in canon it makes so many varied interpretations which are a blast to see honestly. in general i love seeing how people portray their friendship too. an idiot whos smart to smart guy whos an idiot communication. enemies to friends to lovers..... their personalities bounce off of each other really well and the content the community makes is always a+. actually im going to take the opportunity to share my favorite mtdd fic ever. this is like pretty much peak metadede to me if anyone wants to know what i hope my personal interpretation will live up to [link!]

people might be able to tell ive been getting very into dametaberge. oh my god im so insane. no one look at me. dmk+jambacult found family Real. i have like three comics in my drafts for them. its mostly dametaberge thoughts rn but i like to think susie joins them later to make a poly ship. dmk and susie are a little tense at first but susie is, "like so over her knight phase," as she says, which dmk is extremely conflicted about whether to be offended or relieved at. and then they learn how to relax around each other and are always the two in the relationship to have awful destructive ideas, which flamberge vetos or approves of on a case by case basis. they get very happy and excited when flamberge approves of their awful plans

and of course my beloved gsa ships.............. theres falsgato which i am incredibly insane about thanks to my friend dragging me into it and now its a thing in my animeverse. enemies to friends to lovers I KEEP SAYING IM SO WEAK FOR THAT. dragato was a huge asshole to falspar for Various reasons regarding the nature of the gsa and perhaps dragatos own personal insecurity, but once they lost the war they got to bond since dragato like, realized how little the shit he antagonized falspar for actually mattered in the first place. and falspars a guy who really sees the best in people and ahahahghdjk its a whole thing its a whole thing i wont go into it rn LOL

theres also metarthur which is my very very beloved longtime rarepair. which i um. uh. ahahahah............. i get very slightly nervous talking about on main because a lot of people hc arthur as meta knights dad or parental figure but i shouldnt be nervous about hc differences really....... anyways theyre supposed to be like parallels of each other. people who are opposites thematically (arthur being leader of the gsa; mk being a former deeply infamous demon beast) who find themselves in similar positions in that they both kinda struggle with their sense of purpose vs their sense of self. meta knight sees his past struggles in arthur and so he finds himself drawn to him. he cant really Solve his situation, but (during their war-time relationship specifically) he hopes to offer some solace to him which functions as a form of catharsis to mk himself too. the two get to connect and understand each other in a unique way. i wont get too into this one right now either lol since the dynamic changes a lot depending on if its their during-war relationship or post-war relationship but theres the basics. i have a comic expanding on their general relationship in my drafts too but its at the bottom of my to-do list tbh. maybe someday though

im only into this one casually nowadays but morphogala... you really cant go wrong with "knight of death saves the greatest warrior in the galaxy from their torturous fate". something something the themes of wishing for the release of death being subverted into yes, death itself releasing you but in a way that actually Saves and rescues you instead. the hope and love in spite of all of the hopelessness AHHHHGH the themes of this one make me so weak. theres so much potential...... i really love this one on an aesthetic level too

you know i take my comment on "not super into shipping" back i think my multishipper ass has disillusioned myself into thinking being insane about like 4-5 ships isnt enough or isnt the norm. maybe i am insane about shipping......... oops

ships that make my thumbs up list in that i like them in concept but dont ship myself would be: marxolor; any of wave 3 x each other tbh. i have them as just besties in my hcs but paired up in any way is very fun; i kinda like shadow metadede but im really particular about the dynamic of that one; fransoos gets a very big thumbs up from me for themes and concept+enemies/rivals to lovers; metagala is. i dont super get it myself but the aesthetics alone are absolutely on-point enough to put this one in the thumbs up category. yayyyyyyy. im sure theres more that im missing but i think that covers any that arent too niche

#asks #anonymous #ask to tag #im not tagging all those ships lmao #thank you for the ask!!!

Fanfic Asks for the New Year

I snagged these questions from @jackiebelle73. Thought it would be fun to play.

1. Do you have a word-count goal for the upcoming year?

I have fanfic goals, but not any that have to do with word counts.

2. Will you participate in any fandom exchanges or fic challenges, etc? 

Not this year, sadly. Real life is a beast that rears its head at the most inconvenient times lately.

3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom this year? Which one?

Not this year.

4. Do you think you’ll stop writing for a fandom this year? Which one?

Yes. Two, in fact: Shadow and Bone and The Rings of Power. I didn't write much for either of these fandoms to begin with and lurked at best. I still will read fic by my fandom friends and reblog all the cool things, but I won't be writing anything new for either (after I finish my SAB fic exchange story).

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

The aforementioned SAB fic exchange story, The Truth in Our Hearts.

“General Kirigan,” the Apparat says, “I worry that the king will be most displeased to be excluded. Perhaps we can postpone until the royal family can attend. A week, maybe two at most. Surely a man of your standing should have a proper ceremony.” Alina looks up, a germ of hope taking root in her chest. “There have been festivities enough,” the Darkling bites out. “I will not delay any longer.” “And if I would delay?” She tries to infuse the question with as much backbone as she can muster, but her trembling voice gives away the truth. She’s afraid. Angry, but terrified. The Darkling looks at her, and she wishes he would take off that abominable mask, bare whatever savage face he’s hidden beneath so she can read his expression. “Begin,” is all he says.

6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list?

None. 2024 is the year of completing several of my already-posted wips.

7. Will you change anything about the way you interact with other writers?

Nope. I will still happily read fandom friends' stories and squee and rave and give all the love.

8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

Not for fanfic. All of the daunting project ideas I have are for original fiction. (And the answer for that would be an idea for a sci-fi epic that spans several worlds. I'm not sure I have the skill set yet to tackle it the way I want to.)

9. Short term goals… what do you hope to complete this week or in January?

Finish The Truth in Our Hearts. It was meant to be a oneshot and it got rudely plotty. My goal is to finish outlining the rest of it this week (nearly done) and finish both the rough and final drafts before the end of the month.

10. Will you keep a record of all the fics you write and/or post this year?

AO3 does that for me already, lol! But yes, I have a couple writing trackers that I use to help keep me motivated. There's enough of a numbers girl in me that I love seeing charts and spreadsheets.

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes this year?

After 20 years in fandom, there really isn't much I've wanted to try that I haven't already.

12. Will you change anything about the way you edit or rewrite this year?

Yes. I started it in November with Nanowrimo. I used to solely be a discovery writer as well as someone who edits as they write the first draft—which is fantastic for short stories (my bread and butter), but hell for writing longfic. I've left readers hanging for 17 multi-chapters (some of them for years) over 5 fandoms, and it's eating at me. That and the fact that I've lost a significant amount of free time in recent years has forced me to change the way I write/edit/etc. As a long time pantser, I never thought I'd be a planner, but the new methods (complete rough outline -> complete first draft -> rewrite for final draft) are working fantastically!

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic? 

Probably not.

14. Have you ever lost large chunks of your work in the past, due to not backing up your work? Will you change your methods this year?

Not recently, but yes I have lost work before and it was devastating. I back up my work all over the place now. I also plan to eventually print out and bind my stories, but that's not this year's project.

15. Do you foresee any personal or professional obstacles this year, that would keep you from creating fanworks? 

Yes. 100%. I have some crazy stuff going on in real life. Writing is part of my self-care program, but I can only do as much as I have time for (which isn't much).

16. Do you have that one fanfic that you wrote a ton for, ages ago, but never posted? Will this be the year, come hell or high water, that it WILL get finished and posted?

Nope. I am weak. If I've written enough for a chapter, I've posted it. This is a habit I'm hoping to change!

17. Do you typically answer all comments/reviews individually? Do you plan to change the way you interact with your readers this year?

I do! Sometimes it takes me a while to reply (thanks to that stupid real life I've talked about). I love interacting with my readers. I have no plans to change that.

18. Do you typically post multi-chapters as you write, or finish it all and then start posting? Would you like to change your posting method? 

Previously, I've posted as I write, but I'm changing that. This year, I'm only posting (or updating, as I'm not posting anything completely new this year) once the story is finished.

19. Would you consider non-fandom writing events, like NaNoWriMo or writing contests? 

Nanowrimo, probably.

20. Any plans to work on original fiction this year?

Yes. My goal for this year is the first draft of an original fiction novel for my firstborn. It's currently in the nebulous world-building stage, missing characters and plot.

21. Will you try writing software, like Scrivener or those programs that won’t let you stop writing?

I will keep using what I've always used: Microsoft Word and Scrivener.

22. Do you plan to take writing classes this year?

Not this year. I've done several before over the years (and even helped teach an online one).

23. Would you like to go on a writing retreat?

I would love to! But I don't think I have either the time or the budget for it this year.

24. By the end of this year, you want your fandom to think of you as “that author who _______.”

F I N I S H E S. That's my sole fic goal for 2024: finishing wips. As many as I can.

25. If you answered questions from this list last year, find your answers and compare your goals to your results. How’d you do?

#fanfic asks for the new year #about me

[scamanderishredmayniac]

heya! hope youve had a nice day when you get this:) i just wanted to ask a few questions if you dont mind? and apologies if the answer to any of these are on your blog, i swear ive looked and only resorted to this because i couldn't find them^^ 1. what are your pronouns? i always like getting to know blogs with this first:)

2. what are your wattpad and ao3 accounts? id love to read your fics!

3. do you mind if i do some of the newt appreciation month prompts a bit late? its been a hell of a month for me but i still wanna touch on some of the earlier ones (granted i get the time lol)

Hiya!

Thanks for sending in your ask, I don’t mind people asking me questions as long as they’re not too personal. Some of the answers to your questions are on the blog, it’s just that they won’t be easy to find. For instance,

1. I have never outright stated what my pronouns are, because I don’t think it’s important for anyone to know really, but I have given clues in tags in the past. Such as little things like ‘a girl can dream can’t she?’ So I guess I go by she/her.

2. My Ai3 account goes by similar name handle as my tumblr, at TheScamanderishRadmayniac. I’ve never mentioned my wattpad account name before, but I have posted links to two of my fanfics from there on here before. The one I mentioned the reader who read it in one sitting is here

Another one I posted the link to in December time you can find here

I don’t have many works posted on either account, although there are quite a few projects I’m working on, so watch this space. They’ll be more stuff coming soon on both accounts. :D @afrenchaugurey I know you were asking for links to my wattpad stories, and someone else too, but I forget who. But anyway for those who want to read my wattpad stuff, those are two of my works on there. I’m working on a few Fantastic beasts stuff too, that are in my drafts. One of them i need book cover for, and to make up my mind as to what I want to call it (keep changing my mind), but will be a book of one shots hopefully, and some other full length stories too. But we shall see.

3. Oh my gosh, yeah by all means do them, do the challenge. Honestly I don’t mind how late people do the Newt appreciation challenge at all. I just want people to enjoy and have fun doing them. Since I don’t know who you are, it would be great if you could tag me on each post as you do the challenge. I’d love to see what you do with them, and how you answer them. I’d really appreciate that.

Thanks so much for taking an interest in my works snd the challenge. I really appreciate it, and for taking the time to send the ask. :) hope that answers your questions and hope you have a nice day too! :))

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

64,757

3. What fandoms do you write for?

hotd, pjo, and otgw (counting wips and tumblr-exclusives)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

i do not have that many lmao — but in order it's 'like the stars that shine' and 'lightning-stained skies' (though the last is really only still up just because i try to avoid deleting fic on principle 🥲)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i try to! especially if it's one i can tell someone put a lot of effort into 💕 i often fall behind on replies though, like right now with my tumblr inbox 🥲

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

what endings?

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

again, what endings?? (my old-ass oneshot that's still on ff.net implying piper and conrad from the girl who could fly get together)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no! i've been very lucky in that realm

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

yes! mostly your basic abo, piv smut, though i also have some softcore typical m/m in my drafts :)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

yes, but it's the only one i'll ever write simply because i couldn't shake the concept of dipper, wirt, bill, and the beast from otgw and gravity falls as the most dysfunctional friend group ever 🥲 (i encountered the fandoms before i watched both shows) otherwise i don't really care for them lol

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

no! tbh i don't think that'd jive well with my writing style 😅

14. What's your all-time favourite ship

hard to say! measuring by longest love, maybe piper and conrad from tgwcf 💕 honestly i'm always cycling between ships though — for a long time i would've said percabeth from pjo and i still have a soft spot for them :)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

my post-canon poetree slowburn for otgw 🥲 i'm thinking of maybe posting scattered oneshots so at least some of it can see the light of day

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

people's physical descriptions 🥲 always has been

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

i usually opt for just italicizing in english for fictional languages because i'm lazy lol, but i think writing it out in the other language looks better. i don't really care when i'm reading as long as there's a translation somewhere in the chapter :)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

percy jackson 🫶🏻

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

i guess lsts!

#ask game #life of wynch #wynch writing

[grewlikefancyflowers]

So sorry!! My previous incomplete ask was my cellphone failing on me. So I have to send it you again.

Thank You for clearing out my query on that translation.

Some questions i have right now

First, If gui dao harms one's mind in long term then why couldnt Xue Yang be affected by it even after using it more years than WWX?? Could it be because of the frequency of his use is less than WWX and the amount of his energy he used at one single time given that XY uses his primordial spirit to control only Song Lan??

Second, i just read that part from the original drafts where WWX explains how he uses his primordial spirit to control the corpses. But i have questions- the part where LWJ asks him if he uses his own primordial spirit or someone else's and WWX answers does WWX mean primordial spirit of his "own" and the "corpses" , also is it same scene in which JC gets to know that Gui dao is connected to WWX's mental state or there is any other scene where he specifically mentions it to him??

Third, do you have any ideas ony why exactly he received a backlash from his corpses during the first burial mound siege??

Lastly, wanna say that i completely agree that WWX's emotions and Guidao are interlinked in a way that we cannot draw a line between them. Nor do i think that it was a moral failing from his side.

Thank you once again!! Many things were cleared out for me by your answer.

Hello again! :3

First, Xue Yang

I'm not sure we really see enough of XY throughout the time he uses guidao to draw definitive conclusions about if or how it harmed his mind. Also XY was deranged from the start anyway lol. However, one thing we do know about XY is that he uses tools to control corpses rather than doing it directly himself — the yin hufu, and nails for WN and SL. Actually, I'm not sure we ever see him controlling corpses entirely from his own power as WWX does. As for why this is, it's possible that XY is simply not able to control corpses himself. It requires carefully-controlled emotions, which he certainly doesn't have. It may also be the case that XY uses tools to avoid or limit the harmful effects of guidao (remember that this was the reason WWX forged the yin hufu in the first place). I think both these explanations are plausible, but I lean more towards the first one since XY isn't really the cautious type. But either way, if use of tools reduces or removes risks from guidao, then since XY primarily uses those, it's possible his mind wasn't harmed by it.

Second, the explanation of WWX's cultivation in the original draft. Here is that excerpt in case others are curious.

'Wei WuXian replied, “Fine. I’ll answer – I domesticated them.”

“Domesticated how?”

Wei WuXian blinked. “How did I domesticate them? I can’t explain that in a short amount of time. Let’s put it this way – think, how would you domesticate a ferocious beast? The method’s about the same. First, suppress them with a primordial spirit, then give them whatever they want.”

Lan WangJi immediately questioned, “Did you use someone else’s, or your own?”

“Both.”

Lan WangJi walked around Jiang Cheng and got close to him again. Wei WuXian held out his flute horizontally in front of him, adopting a defensive posture. “Isn’t this excessive? Lan Zhan, I’ve already answered all your questions, but you’re still like this, all insensitive to others’ feelings? Just what do you want?”

Lan WangJi spoke, one word at a time: “Come back to Gusu with me.”'

So, what other primordial spirit does WWX use to control corpses? Tbh, I am not entirely sure, I don't recall it being addressed again, but I'd guess he's either referring to the corpses' or maaaybe the yin hufu since the sword it was made from had cultivated a lot of resentful energy into itself? I'm also not sure how far we can consider WWX's use of a primordial spirit other than his own canon, this was removed during edits. And yes, this is the scene where JC hears exactly how WWX's cultivation works, they don't speak of it again iirc, however I am not suuuper familiar with the original draft so I'm not 100% sure.

Third, backlash during the first siege.

I don't think there is a definitive canonical answer to this, but there are probably two possible reasons. One, WWX lost control due his turbulent emotions just as he'd done at Qiongqi Path and Nightless City, resulting in his corpses attacking him. Two, the loss of control was due to destroying/attempting to destroy the yin hufu, resulting in it sort of turning against him.

I don't think the first theory is impossible, but it's not one I'm particularly inclined towards. As we see at Qiongqi Path, even when WWX loses control, his corpses still follow his base instincts. Eg, WN killed JZX because of WWX's instinctive response to being attacked. So if WWX's loss of control at the siege resulted in his corpses killing him (in a most horrible way), this would imply that WWX was, on some level, suicidal at the time. This doesn't really track with the rest of his actions imo, such as hiding A-Yuan in a tree... he can't have at all expected that LWJ or anyone else would save him, so WWX was probably holding onto some hope he would retrieve A-yuan from his hiding place himself once the siege was over. And WWX has been in plenty of horrible, dangerous situations and he has always been one to fight to the end, so I don't see why his character would so a complete 180 here and subconsciously choose death.

For evidence of the yin hufu being the direct cause, 'Yinhu Fu was way more powerful and frightening than what he had initially expected. Originally, he wanted to use it as a form of support. Who would have known that it started to show signs of overpowering him, its creator.' (tmwx, ch.30) It seems to have some will of its own, so it probably wouldn't be too thrilled about WWX destroying it. Since WWX was already in a bit of a state, perhaps it actually managed to overpower him?

There is very little description of what happened during the siege, but we do have this 'But before he was able to finish disposing of the other, the Siege of the Burial Mounds descended upon him. He had no control over the events that followed.' (fyy, ch.30). So it seems like the siege was the initial cause of him losing control over things.

In Yi City, WWX also recalls not being able to control corpses that the yin hufu was currently controlling. 'A sudden thought crossed his mind and a thin layer of perspiration formed on his back. That’s not true. It wasn’t that “this has never occurred before”. In fact, it had happened before, and it wasn’t just once. There was indeed a type of ghoul that he couldn’t command. That was – ghouls that were already under the control of the Yinhu Fu!' (ch.34)

Another thing to consider is that control over corpses is a first come, first serve basis. Someone else cannot take control over corpses that are already controlled by the yin hufu, and the yin hufu cannot take control over corpses already controlled by someone else (ch.68).

If I had to put together a coherent sequence of event based on what we know, probably... While WWX was destroying the yin hufu, his control over his corpses (which he will have been using to defend the burial mounds) began to slip as the siege came down on him due to him being already mentally and physically hurt and exhausted from Nightless City & the surrounding events. The yin hufu, which wasn't a huge fan of being destroyed, seized control over the corpses WWX had lost his grip on, and set them on him instead.

[blood-bound]

Haha, I like seeing your wall of text about Mark and his adventures! :D

Lanford has been really sheltered in their Chantry (and abusively controlled by their Sire) since their Embrace in the 70s! And they've actually never had an incident of losing control to the Beast. So I think they'd say "Individuals are not monsters, that's simply a way of categorizing things which frighten or confuse us. Clinging to the belief that Kindred are 'monsters' rather than understanding we are a new life form with different needs and behaviors is like drawing 'here be dragons' on every map. It's just ignorance." Lanny is very fun to play because they are analytical and condescending. They HAVE been punched in the face by a Brujah for not knowing when to shut up XD

They know about the history of the Tremere as mages but they consider thaumaturgy to be perfectly consistent with the prior Hermetic practices, or maybe even superior since it's using the capabilities of vitae to power it. They've never met a mage before but they would be super excited about that! :0 Lanford has met fey creatures and gotten super messed up on their blood though.

Can I ask about Mark's relationship with his Sire? You mentioned his Sire has very powerful blood? (Or, is a low generation?)

hi im feeling like more of a human so i cna finally finish this post and resurrect it from my drafts i am so so sorry for the delay.

-

GOOD sometimes tremere nerds have to get punched in the face that's just the way it is. Mark can relate to being abusively controlled by their sire or at least, he would if he really realized it <3

Hehe Lanny you don't know shit if you don't know about how much stronger mages are. Too good.

-

OK yes so Mark's sire is super old idk why the ST lowkey gave special snowflake syndrome but whatever he can have a sire thats over a thousand years old as a treat.

gasp. yes, that means he was around when the tremere went from a mage house to a vampire clan. that's nuts! he was already older than most humans because he was a mage trying to extend his lifespan. thats how he's so GotDamn old.

His name is Julius. I think he's technically 8th gen but he did weird blood sorcery shit to make Mark essentially an 11th gen as far as blood potency is concerned. He uses Mark as a spy/errand boy but Mark doesn't mind because, due to high level blood bond, he thinks Julius helps him a lot (technically does ig) and is really happy when he pleases Julius.

He is starting to recognize that, rationally, the only reason to help him would be out of fear, but the blood bond is still there oc which makes it complicated.

Julius keeps him financially stable, will fulfill basically any minor request Mark makes of him, and due to his high position in the Tremere keeps him safe politically just by being his sire.

In return Mark gives him weekly reports, does various spying things when requested, (largely against Julius's rival, Gaius, which is a whole nother' story), and is basically at his beck and call.

For his part Mark is mostly in awe of Julius, terror in the classical sense; sees him as super powerful, wants to please him; but at the same time recognizes that Julius is fairly like, inhuman and awful, so hides how much he cares abt humans and such, in fact he kinda feels ashamed of it, which is sad :(

Julius had Mark's ex spy on him before his embrace/while they were still dating - he didn't directly do it, but ordered another kindred to get info on Mark and thats how he did it. Basically ruined Sampson's life. So yeah. pretty fucked. A quote that lives in my head rent free is when Mark was concerned about sampson and asked Julius abt him for the first time Julius said "You can have many Sammys" so he clearly doesnt like. get it. lol.

#mark vtm oc #sorry i just NEEDED to get this out of my drafts so i just did stream of consciousness feel free as fuck 2 ask cliarfying quetsions #i hope this made at least a lil sense
