#you don't need the <p> those are just paragraph breaks

[ivy-loves-chocolate]

I saw you wanted some ideas for Leon so here’s mine: you’re hiding with him in the RPD from Mr.X in the stars office, and the more you talk the more you realize you’re into each other. A small make-out session turns into something more and Mr.X becomes your last worry.

Btw, I loved your recent Leon fic :3

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ N o t e ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆ I found this in my drafts with a few paragraphs written and decided to finish it. I'll start the year with a smut, haha. Thank you, anon for the idea, and I'm sorry I made you wait 🙏❤️. I hope you like this 😊. I wanna write more about him, so keep the requests coming! Also, your feedback is appreciated ❤️.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ P a i r ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆ Leon S. Kennedy x F!Reader

I take commissions so if you're interested check my Ko-Fi. ❤️

You were both panting as you barely escaped the monster that was chasing you relentlessly all night. He was tall and strong, and bullets didn't kill him. From the distance, it looked like a normal person given the simple outfit; he was wearing a hat and a trenchcoat, both black, but from up close, he was rather scary due to his grey skin and dead eyes. The height also added to the intimidating factor.

How did he end up dressed that way? You asked yourself as you saw him kneeling on the ground. Leon just emptied a clip by shooting his head. Apparently, bullets stop him for a bit, giving you a chance to run. Still, you couldn't help but be amused by his attire.

"Who the fuck gave this thing a fedora?" You asked quietly as you passed near him. "Like, it has to be custom made or something? Look at the size of its head…"

"Probably, but I think we have more important things to worry about right now."

You hurried outside the library and never stopped running. They just kept coming… from all directions. You tried blocking some windows, but it was useless.

All this time, you followed Leon's command, as he seemed more collected, even if he was just a rookie. You had a hunch that he was trying to impress you, and you had two reasons. One, you heard him curse like a sailor around the station before meeting him—something that didn't happen when he was with you—and two, you caught him staring at you a few times. He'd looked away every time you turned your attention to him, but he couldn't hide that smirk.

"This way," he whispered as he gently closed the door behind him.

"Where to-"

"Shh," he said, pointing to the ceiling. Your face turned pale at the sight of the horrendous creature that was crawling. Its sharp, long claws tapped on the surface as he walked on all fours; its brain was popping out, and he didn't appear to have any eyes. Terrified, you froze in place, but Leon grabbed your hand and guided you into the corridor.

"Just watch your steps, ok?" he whispered again in a soft voice, trying to soothen you. "Don't look at it; you'll be fine. Just stick with me."

With steady steps, you made your way to the STARS office and closed the door behind you. Leon pressed his ear on the door, and once he heard the licker crawling away, he told you that you were safe.

You let out a sigh of relief. You hadn't realised you were holding your breath until now.

"Good. Listen, do you mind if we rest a bit here? It's too much cardio for me," you joked.

"Sure, I could use some rest too."

The STARS office was clear, and you found supplies too. Some medicine, ammo, food, and water felt like a gift sent from God. There was also an armory, but it needed to be unlocked from the computer. A reminder that your work is far from done. Still, you tried to enjoy your small break. Leon was sitting at one desk from the edge, and you were sitting next to him. Behind you was a nice brown leather jacket, which you considered taking, but it was too big to fit you. The team's belongings were intact, making you wonder why they closed the unit so suddenly.

"Where do you think they are? Do you think they are safe?" you asked Leon, who was busy starring in the blank.

"They are probably doing better than we are. Those guys were elite."

"I think we're holding up pretty well, considering you're a rookie and I never touched a gun."

"Yeah…you almost blasted my brains back then," he chuckled.

"I'm sorry about that." You said it soflty and gently squeezed his forearm as a sign of comfort. "But you burst through that door, and I panicked."

"It's alright," he said, smiling. He smoothly slid his arm to the edge so he could grab your hand. Your fingers intertwined quickly.

"Thanks for the quick lesson, tho…it came in handy."

"No problem, you're a natural," he winked, which made you blush.

"Yeah, but I kinda had a great teacher."

"What can I say? I work best under stress."

You both chuckled. A short pause followed, in which both of you just stared at each other. Leon wanted to say so many things to you. He wanted to praise you for being so brave and for taking care of him; he wanted to tell you how lucky he feels to have found you in this mess, but he didn't know where to start.

"You ok?" you asked, seeing that he got lost in his thoughts again.

"Yeah, I'm fine… I was grateful for having you with me; that's all."

"Really? For a moment, I thought I slowed you down."

"Me slowing you down? You're faster than me. You actually left me behind a couple of times."

"Oh, that? I thought you did that on purpose...just trying to get rid of me."

He chuckled.

"Nah...I never wished to get rid of you. I really like having you around." He said.

"Me too..."

Neither of you let go of the other's hand.

You both stopped talking. Your smiles dropped and your eyes closed as you leaned forward towards each other. Soon, your lips touched over and over again, filling the room with faint sounds of kissing. You were both shy at first, but Leon got more courageous and came closer to you. His hands found your waist, and you cupped his face, prolonging the kiss. Soon, you felt Leon's tongue trying to find yours, and the kiss got a lot more intense.

Not carrying about Mr.X and other threats, you climbed onto Leon's lap and continued to kiss him with the same passion. Now you were closer to each other as you wrapped your arms around his neck, and he wrapped his big arms around your waist, hugging you and keeping you close.

It shows that Leon craved this kind of affection and intimacy from the sweet whimpers that came out occasionally.

"Wait…" he said as he broke the kiss. "I know a more comfortable chair…"

You didn't know what he meant until he suddenly stood up while managing to carry you and went to Wesker's office. He was a strong fella.

On his way, he never ceased to kiss you, becoming even more eager.

He sat on Wesker's chair, which was more comfortable and much bigger than the previous one. Since your legs had more room to rest, you had the strength to roll your hips over his crotch, letting out small, deep whimpers as you felt his bulge growing between your legs.

His hands squeezed your flesh as they ran along your waist. His muscles relaxed under your precise movements. His needy whines filled the room as you kept moving faster.

"Y/N…" He whispered shyly, breaking the kiss for a few seconds before coming to taste your lips again. He felt his cock throbbing in his pants. He wanted you; he craved you. It was unbearable.

You felt the same way, and your cunt was throbbing with excitement as you thought about him inside you…he felt…big…

With fast movements, you took your pants off, and then you proceeded to strip him off. His cock jumped in the air once his boxers slipped past those big thighs of his, and oh, what a sigh it was. He was long, thick, and leaked heavily in front of your eyes. You watched how a droplet of his precum glided along his length, making you drool. His tip glistered as it was basically drenched in his own juices.

You teasingly tapped his tip with one of your fingers, which made him whine loudly.

"Y/N…" he said, his attempt to maintain his composure being obvious.

"Shh. Just stick with me." You said this, looking at him with siren eyes.

You climbed back, one leg slidding next to him, and the other followed slowly. You raised a bit and aligned yourself above his tip. You wrapped your arms around his neck as you began to descend slowly and gasped when you felt his cock entering inside you. When he felt himself inside you, he pulled you again in a passionate, eager kiss.

Moans and whimpers filled Wesker's office quickly. You let out sharp, deep exhales as you took more and more of him. You struggled a bit at first, but both of you were so wet that after a few thrusts, you slid up and down with ease. Leon moved his hands to your ass, squeezing your cheeks hard with every throb of his cock. Not only did you feel him leak inside you, but you also felt how he rubbed that sweet spot inside you. It was pure bliss, which turned your mind foggy.

He also thrust his hips from beneath you, matching your own rhythm. You allowed yourselves to sink deeper into each other's touch without being bothered by what was happening out there. The kiss became messier, the touching more intense, and the thrusts more erratic as you chased your own release.

However, Leon felt that his time would come sooner, so he lifted you spontaneously and placed you on the desk, knocking down everything that would make you uncomfortable. Was that too loud? He didn't care.

"You are so strong, officer." You teased him and gave him the same dirty look, enjoying how that made him visibly weaker. He rolled his eyes and lowered his head a bit to the side, trying to hide his blushing cheeks.

His cock was halfway inside you now, and his arm rested near your head. With a deep breath, he began to thrust inside you, and he maintained eye contact this time. His face was still red, but not because of embarrassment, but because of how good your cunt made him feel. You wrapped your legs around his waist so you could feel him deeper.

His pace was slow at first, and he didn't go all in. It was pleasant, of course, but you wanted more, so you gently pulled him closer with your legs.

Understanding your intentions, he went all in, his balls constantly slapping your skin with each thrust. His breathing became faster, and your moans became louder as he finally hit that spot inside you again. When he picked up the pace, he placed his big thumb at your clit and stroked it fast. You felt a familiar pressure in your lower belly, and your throbbing cunt gave him a clue that you were about to cum.

"Leon…don't stop…" You said it between whimpers.

With his final strength, he went even faster with both his thrusts and strokes, and finally, he felt your wall clenching around his cock. With rolled eyes and curled toes, you grabbed his forearms as the orgasm hit you hard. A few seconds after your climax, you heard his moans getting louder. Then you felt hot spurts of his cum filling you up fast.

Both of you were trying to catch your breath now. Leon collapsed on top of you and allowed himself to indugle with your gentle touch for a few moments. Your arms were tightly wrapped around his tired body, with one hand playing with some strands of his blonde, smooth hair. The other caressed his back.

His nose was buried in your neck, enjoying the warmth and comfort that your body provided.

"I never thought I'd get laid on my first day as a police officer," he muffled, making you chuckle.

"Well, I bet you never expected a zombie apocalypse either."

"To be honest, if you would've asked me a few days ago which was more likely to happen, I'd go for the zombie apocalypse."

You chuckle again.

"You need to be more confident, Leon." Your fingers moved to his nape. "You're a great guy."

Once he felt your feather-like touch, he sighed with satisfaction.

"Oh yeah, just like that."

You began to massage gently. All this time, he remained inside you, and neither of you protested.

"You like that?"

He let out an affirmative hum.

"I'll tell you what," you began in a soft, calming voice. "When this is over, we keep in touch and go on a normal date. To get to know each other, you know?"

"Sounds good, but we need to get out of here in one piece…"

"Hmm…yeah…let's do that then."

He pulled out eventually and helped you get dressed.

You slowly made your way out of the STARS office, then made your way further into the station, looking for a way out. Now you look at the situation with a little more hope. Maybe it's because of the sex, or maybe you realised you have someone to count on. Who knows, but one thing is sure: you lived to go on your first date.

💞for the ask game (*'▽'*)

This is for this ask game!

💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

Ohhhh! This is a very nice question!

For me, it would be a tie between characterization and worldbuilding, with either needing to be good to hook me to a fic. If a fic does characterization very well (everyone is completely in character) then I don't mind the worldbuilding being pretty basic. And if the worldbuilding is incredible I don't care if the characterization is very OOC. But give me both of those and you have my little reader heart at your feet... figuratively speaking :P

The rest (plot, grammar...) I of course appreciate a lot as well but they aren't my first pick.

One exception is lack of paragraphs. If the fic is just one wall of text without breaks in lines I'm out before any of the other stuff even has a chance to shine cause my poor brain just goes *bzzzzt* and I forget how to read >.>

Thank you for the ask!

New AO3 Script / Screenplay Tutorial

Some time back I posted a tutorial for how to format CSS and HTML for a screenplay on AO3, but since then I have improved upon it and I wish to now share with you all the (hopefully somewhat better) new version.

I previously had a significant problem with the spacing of certain elements, which would end up breaking the formatting. So recently I spent two days studying and trying code after code until I got it right.

Note that though this formatting makes the screenplay look authentic enough on a computer monitor or on mobile in landscape mode, it does not (in my experience) tend to show up well in portrait mode. This version is at least readable in portrait mode, however, whereas the old version was not. Still, you might like to make an author’s note mentioning that readers in portrait mode may need to use the “hide creator’s style” button, which will take away the formatting:

Okay, let's get to work! First you are going to have to create a new AO3 work skin. Name it whatever you like, then insert this code:

#workskin p { font-family: "Courier Prime", Courier, monospace; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word; }

#workskin p { margin-left: 5%; }

#workskin p { margin-right: 15%; }

#workskin .indented { padding-left: 15%; padding-right: 25%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word; }

#workskin .par { display: block; padding-left: 15%; padding-right: 25%; }

#workskin .character { display: block; padding-left: 25%; }

You can adjust things like the margin and padding percentages to fit your own style, of course!

Now comes the fun part. After you have written your script, make a new draft using your screenplay skin. Then get onto the HTML editor.

The SHOT, SCENE HEADING, and ACTION elements will be left alone. The only tagging necessary for them is < p > (close up the < and >, of course... Tumblr is giving me a hard time about showing it as it really should be) for paragraph transitions. But do be sure to use the < p > tag, or it will break the formatting.

Next are the CHARACTER, PARENTHETICAL, and DIALOGUE elements... which are a bit more involved.

Before blocks of character/parenthetical/dialogue, you need to put the following tag (with closed up < & >): < div class="indented" align="left" > . Note that if there is more than one Character involved with no action breaks in between (in other words, if there is a conversation going on), you do not need to put the tag between each character, just before the first one. Like so:

And be sure to close it back up after the blocks of conversation with < /div >

Next up is CHARACTER, which, as you can see above, is tagged: < p >< span class="character" > CHARACTER NAME< /span >

Notice that there are no line breaks between the < /span > and the dialogue. Due to the nature of < span > if you try to put a line break in there it will turn it into a paragraph break, which doesn't work well for the screenwriting thing. I am sure there is a workaround, but that's what I got for the time being!

Now we come to PARENTHETICALS, which are the bits of action within dialogue:

To tag those, once again do not make a line break, but simply insert this: < span class="par" > then close it after inserting the parenthetical with < /span >

It might be easier to simply visualize, but note that as a personal preference I tend to italicize my parenthetical elements with < em >... you don't have to, that's just my style:

And that is basically it! If you would rather just look at the code than to try and figure out what I was trying to explain (I am not sure I did a good job of that!), here is a basic visual:

This:

Should get you this:

Or something similar, anyway. It may vary on your screen. If you would like to see a live example of how it will look on your monitor or with your device, you can click below to get to a small fic I have formatted this way (it isn't the story sampled above, however, since that is a WIP I have not posted anywhere yet!)

If I have made any mistakes or anything is in need of clarification, let me know! I will do my best to fix it!

[aristre]

bbg pls assign mitski songs to jjk characters (gojo, geto, nanami, yuji, megumi, nobara) 🫶🏻 and write 5 paragraphs explaining why

always. ur wish is my command. i say be the change u wish to see in the world and ur words are my change. and wish. i lost track of my metaphor. anyways see u on the other side.

dude i don't even wanna tag this anymore. this isn't even going in the masterlist. i'm tired

mitski songs and jjk characters

satoru gojo:

last wish of a shooting star

everyone knows gojo is your best american girl but that would be too easy wouldn't it be aaesuki. much too easy to say and analyze and you don't want easy from me. you want a challenge. i'll give you a challenge

to me gojo has always been a shooting star kind of existence, bright and brief and he orbits the lives of everyone who he does not touch and becomes something larger than life. this song in particular is a reflection before death and i'd like to think it's gojo before him and that box. you know

[i always wanted to die clean and pretty / but i'd be too busy on working days / so i am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted / i couldn't have changed anyways] dude's the poster child of the jujutsu world of course he's always going this way and that doing whatever he needs to do. the only way he's gonna get a real break is thru getting put out of commission. aka the box.

suguru geto:

pearl diver

i was thinking about it and don't you think it kind of fits? pearl diver as a song about seeking something up until death. geto always having searched for a world that rewards the unfortunate jujutsu sorcerers and punishes those that beat them down, wanting for his own idea of justice. up until his death that is.

[the creatures of your woken mind / don't fear them or their hunger / forgive the sea, follow the tide / with the monsters on your shoulder] him and those mf curses. if you can't see it i fear there's nothing more i can say

[oh, hunter, if you didn't want / the beautiful so badly / perhaps you would've found it / in your spirit singing softly / but hunter, you were human / don't forget it and go safely] him wanting this perfect world SO badly deriding the humans and emphasizing the sorcerers when they're really the same thing in the end. humans and sorcerers. YOU were descended from monkeys idiot. instead he goes off on genocide quest

kento nanami:

working for the knife

dude this is my go to mitski jjk song. but specifically it fits nanami so well bc it's about working for the knife; the knife is a killing implement at times, a helpful tool otherwise, just like exorcism saves some lives and dooms the sorcerers to death

[i used to think i'd be done by twenty / now at twenty-nine the road ahead appears the same] he's been a jujutsu sorcerer through school and through adulthood, and even if he took a break to become a capitalist cog you don't ever stop being a jujutsu sorcerer

[i start the day lying and end with the truth / that i'm dying for the knife] you see?!?! you see?!?!? you see that aaesuki?!

yuuji itadori:

a burning hill

this one i can relate to both sukuna's possession of his body but also the impending execution he has to face. once you see it you'll see it.

[and i am the fire, and i am the forest / and i am a witness watching it / i stand in a valley watching it] him being the fire or the destructive force under the control of sukuna, him being the forest or the victim of those acts, and him being the witness or the possessed man with no choice but to let them happen.

[so today, i will wear my white button-down / i can at least be neat walk out and be seen as clean / and i'll go to work, and i'll go to sleep / and i'll love the littler things] this part being yuuji's reflection on his impending execution and having to live life as normal anyways. white button down and being neat could be what he wears to his execution, but it can also be his uniform as he goes to school (work) and ends his day (sleep) as normal, acting as if he won't be put to death once all the fingers are found. loving the littler things is him trying to enjoy his life to the fullest and making those dang friends before his inevitable execution

megumi fushiguro:

everyone

i think i hit a stroke of genius w this one. two specific lines rlly stand out to me as megumi-y but overall, the song being abt mitski and her music career harkens to megumi and the jujutsu world w me. in another world he would not have had to become a sorcerer, but in another another world he'd have grown up in the zenin clan. this song is about mitski's leap of faith and success in her music career but it's also about megumi going into a place of no return

[and i opened my arms wide to the dark / i said, "take it all, whatever you want" / i didn't know that i was young] the dark on the surface is his jujutsu technique w shadows and him giving himself to the technique, but it's also the jujutsu world and how he's been working for the knife (teehee) since young. boy never had a chance to be a child w daddy neglect and jujutsu sorcery and tsumiki. ya

[sometimes i think i am free / until i find i'm back in line again] this reminds me of the culling game arc and tsumiki. yeah. if you know you know

nobara kugisaki:

townie

honestly i can totally see this. nobara as a hotheaded teen who does exactly what she wants to, consequences be damned. in this song i see it as her willingness to follow her own path regardless of what the world tells her to, whether it be society or jujutsu higher ups.

[and i want a love that falls as fast / as a body from the balcony, and / i want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground / i'm holding my breath with a baseball bat] this part in particular speaks to me as her willingness to engage in self destruction for her goals (her technique being something that often requires immolation of her own body) but also her aggressive nature. i still love you girl <3

[though i don't know what i'm waiting for / i am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be] these lines being about how she doesn't care about conforming to or subverting societal expectations; rather, she is whatever she decides she'll be a la her conversation with the witch broom girl i forgot.

[fluffyprettykitty]

First off, congratulations baby!!! 💛💛💛

Second, ♔ king questionnaire:

How the heck did you even write “Lesson in Love” without turning into moosh? I read it so many time, and I can’t comprehend how you’re not a puddle! Honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it 😮‍💨

thank you very much angel baby!!!

and this got disgustingly long

I don't know!!! Honestly once I started laying out I kept thinking how I am to go about it. I decided that what needed to be done was to describe the rules, the sentiments, how everyone feels around each other, keeping the reader as a blank canvas of course and establishing a rock hard relationship between the men so there wouldn't be feelings of jealousy, or more accurately incompetency.

In my mind Frank was supposed to be in a mechanic au, and they knew each other since they were kids and they were the smart and street guy childhood friendship kind of thing.

Now as for the reader it's based on mine and my friend's experiences with college. I don't know how it works for where you are but here basically college teachers are paid by the hour and they don't work in just once university, rather they get paid by the ministry and they go to different unis and colleges, some foreign language teachers also go to high schools too.

So the gist is that I went back to college at 25, many teachers were in their thirties and we were freely hanging out and to this day we are still friends with some! So I figured that Marc's and reader relationship started from a strong friendship like this (so much background info for something so minuscule honestly). Now the sub/dom dynamics are my favorites so I figured they had a very strong 'game' hierarchy going on.

They have discussed it before, many times i believe. Maybe it was her fantasy, maybe Marc and Frank had done it before with another woman or something but it has been done before thus how Frank knows how to work Marc like that. But it was the first time reader show him,

I made them do it at the office precisely for the obscenity of the situation to do in his working hours you know.

And finally for the smut it was that. I knew I had to describe just how the dynamics would start for the foreplay to happen and then added the movements and all that till I summed what happened the rest of the day in the last 2 paragraphs. I got a friend here who always advised me to make sure reader finishes at least twice in each story cause what the audience likes so I lowkey keep it as a principal.

And yeah at the last hour of writing the fic I had to take so many breaks but again the fic almost wrote itself. I lowkey wanted to write that double penetration scene but I couldn't do it ahahahahha. It got too much after a while. But yeah I think it's one of those rare times when writing wrote itself and the story just flew and flew.

I would love to continue it or you know create a universe but boy I am too faint hearted for things like that :P

Why why why why why why why why WHY did I have to get paired with a bad writer to workshop??? WHY

#VENT TIME: #I feel so bad because I kind of know her and I chose to be her partner not knowing how bad her writing is #she's one of those people who's really well meaning but so awkward and talkative and preachy #and she's writing about starting to write when she was a young teenager and how she likes YA novels and that makes it so much worse #because all I can think is 'your writing sounds exactly like what would be considered good for a young teenager #and you writing about that time in your life is making the comparison WORSE' #there's literally nothing good about this and I'm just so shocked at the lack of.........I don't know......voice? Craft? #I'm p sure she's my age and it's like........how can you read and write as much as you say you do and still be on such a basic level #and she wants to start writing weirder and more abstract stuff and it's like.......you're not ready to start experimenting with weird stuff #you're so locked into the most generic high school writing formula #there is no way for me to help you spice up your writing without completely altering it #I feel so so so so so so so bad for saying all this I really don't like being mean but I'm just in shock #and I need to vent on a place that is not her paper #god I feel so bad I was really hoping she would be good because she's got great ideas but they just do Not translate well #hhhhhhhhhhh #don't mind me #again I cannot emphasize how bad I feel for saying all this but I need a place to vent so I don't sound mean when I'm editing #update: there's some sense of humor going here so that's good but the grammar is p bad and there are no paragraph breaks #just different numbered sections which can get p long #NEW UPDATE: SHE'S JUST SAID SHE ENJOYS EDITING. THERE ARE NO GOOD EDITING SKILLS TO BE SEEN HERE #I feel so so so bad she's going to be getting so many papers that are just marked to hell with all her mistakes #UPDATE: SHE'S SO FUCKING COCKY ABOUT HER EDITING ABILITIES BUT THE SENTENCE STARTING THIS RANT IS #'I loved getting other people short stories and papers to read a tear to apart' #I'M IN AGONY I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE NICE ANYMORE SHE'S SOUNDING SO PRETENTIOUS AND SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO BE

when time runs out | ii

⋆ summary:  A young girl has fallen deeply ill with an unknown disease in her, so with all her free time spent in an empty hospital room, she spends it online playing video games. That's until she meets her cousins friends, one spiking her interest with his extremely vulgare language.

pairing: bakugou katsuki x reader

word count: 2.1k

warnings: small mentions of suicide (I’ll put a star ‘⋆’ on top and below the paragraph so you can skip over it if your uncomfortable, you won’t miss anything too important so dont worry!)

"Bro, honestly I still can't believe that you of all people made it into the elite, number one hero school in the country."

"Waahh, I'm telling you! I'm the real deal Y/N!"

"So, how's your summer been? School's gonna be starting soon, are you excited?" Denki could only smile and sigh as his character was finally killed off.

Said girl chuckled as she heard Denki's voice rise through her headphones as they continued killing zombies in front of them. She grimaced as a zombie attacked her from behind her character. Geez, I never get a break in this game.

"Well, to be honest, nothing big really happened besides me getting my acceptance letter from U.A. Just me training and hanging with the fam." He laid back in the comfort of his bed, headphones still on in order to hear his cousin.

"Aah, already training, hero boy? That's why you haven't been visiting me lately." Y/N pouted and crossed her arms as her TV screen turned black, returning her to the main page of the game.

"Man, we suck at this game!" Denki laughed out loud as he saw how long they lasted in the last round. Y/N smiled and let out a small giggle of her own as she placed down her controller.

"Yeah, how long have we had this game for? It still feels like it's our first time playing this." Denki cracked a smile, even though Y/N couldn't see him.

"Hey, sorry for not being able to come to the hospital. Getting ready for U.A. is no joke, haha." Denki rubbed the nape of his neck, eyebrows scrunching up with regret. 

"Nah nah, it's fine! I understand that you have things to do. You have big plans for the future." Y/N brushed a strand of her hair away from her face, looking down at the needles that were plunged into her arms. Her eyes were clouded with an emotion she often felt when talking with Denki. She always felt guilty whenever the feeling came around.

"Must be nice to be able to achieve your dreams." Jealousy. She hated the feeling she got every now and then, but you couldn't really blame her. She lost everything in only a couple of months. Silence passed between the two teenagers, Y/N finally realizing what she said.

"Uh s-sorry about that! I didn't mean to say that alou-" Y/N was cut off by Denki's soft voice.

"Y/N, it's... okay to feel like that. I don't understand what you have been going through, but I know that you shouldn't bring yourself down for something you can't control. You're such an amazing person and to be honest. . ." Denki paused as Y/N's eyes began to glaze over.

"I'm doing this for me and you. You always encouraged me to take any opportunity by, as you like to say, the neck. I-I wanna make you proud, y'know? I wanna make it feel like you're a part of this crazy world, even if you're not really here, walking with me through it all."

Y/N’s lips wobbled as she let out a watery laugh. She hunched over, small tears falling down her face. To someone else, this would've boosted their ego, but to Y/N, those words meant the world to her. No one had ever said that to her before. She felt like she had a purpose in this wretched life of hers. She sniffles were heard by Denki

"H-hey! It's okay, p-please don't cry!" Y/N heard shuffling coming from Denki as he reassured her to not cry.

"I mean it. I only wish you could be there though, it would be so much cooler!" Denki smiled, trying to lighten up the mood. Y/N's sniffles slowly quieted down as she let out a soft laugh that made his heart swell with joy. At least he can make her laugh.

"I'm s-sorry, but no one has ever told me t-that." Small hiccups came from the girl as she calmed down, taking deep breaths to slow her heart rate. Won't want doctors to come rushing in just to see her crying over something so small.

⋆

"I-I'm just really happy you said that." Denki's heart clenched at those words, his chin trembling every now and then. He knew that Y/N wasn't happy with where she was. She had even admitted that she had urges to rip out the needles and slowly lose her life from there. Denki spent the rest of that night talking to her after. To say he was concerned was an understatement. He was terrified when she told him.

⋆

"I think us being able to play games together is already enough!" They both laughed and talked for a couple of minutes before deciding to to hang up. 

"Y/N, I mean it when I say I want you to be happy, okay? I hope you feel better tomorrow. Buh-bye!" Y/N said her goodbye to Denki, hanging up and closing the laptop that sat on a movable table. 

Her smile slowly left her face, leaving her staring blankly at the pure white wall and mirror in front of her. When visitors were gone, her window would turn to a mirror so no one would disturb her. Y/N took a good look at herself and only sighed. Despite being as healthy as she could get, she looked a bit on the thin side, this complimenting her skin. Running a hand through her hair, she untangled the little knots that had formed there.

"Geez, what happened to you girl? You look like a zombie." Y/N looked at the zombie game and cringed.

"Literally."  Just then the door to her room opened and shut quickly, the air filter turning on when a female doctor entered. Y/N watched her carefully as she checked the IV that connected to her arm. The protective suit never made Y/N feel better about her condition.

"Are you alright, Ms. L/N?" The light, stern voice rang through her ears as she looked at the woman in front of her. Y/N gave the doctor a grin.

"Never been better."

It had been an hour since the doctors had turned the lights off, but Y/N didn't feel the slightest bit of exhaustion. She had been sitting in the pitch black room for the time being and was really debating on turning on the TV.

"Ahh, fudge it." Instinctively reaching out for the remote, she turned on the TV and winced as the bright light hit her.

Looking back to the screen, she chose the option of going online and waited for other players to join. While waiting, a new character popped up next to her and she could only smirk at their username. Tapping on her mic, she decided to make conversation with them to see if they also had a mic.

"Now, what to play. What to play..." Y/N had settled for playing OverWatch since she didn't feel like playing any story type games. No cliffhangers tonight, Y/N thought. As the game loaded, she laid back and began thinking about cheesecake. When was the last I ate strawberry cheesecake? Great, now I want some. Thinking about eating cheesecake made her excited about the next day.

"Well hello, dear ol' '​​​​​King Explosion Murder_1.' Nice name you got there." Y/N chuckled as she said the name out loud, seeing another player enter.

"Hello 'Tape Dispenser?' What's with the wack name?" The girl’s eyes crinkled as she smiled at their name, hearing the user chuckle through her headphones. '​​​​​​King Explosion Murder' still had yet to reply, but that didn't bother her. They're either using the bathroom or don't have a mic. 

"The name was inspired by my quirk. But what's up with '_DeathGirl_', huh? You good?"  Y/N could only laugh at what he said. She should really send him a friend request.

"I’m honestly great, a little tired, but great! I just gotta make up a name, y'know? But your quirk has to do with tape? I don't know if that's wicked or useless." The boy laughed while Y/N laughed as well, losing her grip on her controller. That was until a gruff voice interrupted their laughing session.

"Shut the fuck up, your annoying ass voices are giving me a damn headache." Finally, after being silent, 'King Explosion Murder_1' spoke up.

"Aah, so you do talk. I don't know why you didn't say anything sooner Mr. Explosion Murder." The other player could only sneer at what she said, hitting his desk with his fist. Another player had joined, Y/N only noticing.

"Ah, hello 'Sleep Deprived Controller!'" Said player made their character wave, making Y/N chuckle. While they had their interaction, 'King Explosion Murder' was shouting at her, now realizing that she wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

"Hey! Listen to me when I'm fucking talking to you, emo bitch!" Y/N’s eyes widened, soon rolling her eyes, watching the game load as they were placed into a match. What's his damn problem?

"Hey man, no need to go calling people names now." 'Tape Dispenser' nervously chuckled as he heard the other player growl. Y/N sported a shocked face as she heard this. What is he, a dog??? 

"Outta this conversation, extra!" Tape dude could only deadpan at what he was just called. Who calls people extras?? I’m not an extra, in fact I think I’m- 'Sleep Deprived Controller' listened with an annoyed expression on their face, wishing they could shut their shouting teammate up. Damn, wish I actually had a mic.

The game began as all the players separated, going their own way to kill their enemies. Everyone was in the zone, getting items and yelping every now and then if they were attacked. The first to go down was 'Tape Dispenser', then 'Sleep Deprived Controller', leaving both Y/N and 'King Explosion Murder' left on their team. Y/N smirked at their winning team, only one player was left on the other team. Just as the game was going to end, the opposing player shot down 'Explosion Murder', killing him.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" His mic cut off, causing the two players with mics in a cackling mess. Y/N calmed down, remembering she was still playing, trying to hunt down the last player. Finally, after many curses by a certain player and cheering from another, she located her enemy. 

"You better fucking win this or I'll kill you." Knowing he didn't mean that last part, she only focused on the first part. You better win this. Those words echoed through her head as she stopped aiming for the player. She hated being told what to do.

"Ah, so you're one of those people." Not knowing what she meant, they only watched with wide eyes at what she did. Y/N jumped down next to the enemy, shooting them twice with her weakest gun, signaling them that she was there. Quickly, the other player shot her character down, killing her. They lost the game.

"THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?! WE COULD'VE FUCKING WON!" Explosion Murder wasn't taking defeat easily like the other two were. Y/N could only give a grunt of disapproval towards the loud player.

"Ha, why did you just give up right there? You could've easily killed him." Tape Dispenser was just as confused as the other two players, slightly disappointed at the loss. Y/N sighed as she rubbed her forehead.

"Sorry not sorry, but this dude really thought he could get away with telling me what to do. I'll make my move when I'm ready, sorry to disappoint you guys." She sighed as she rubbed her neck, ready to hear the disapprovals of her teammate. But what she heard and saw made her smile.

"Nah, it's fine. It can get a tiny bit annoying with Murder yelling in your ear." Tape Dispenser reassured her, with Sleep Deprived's character giving her a thumbs up. Though, the annoyed sigh caught her attention back to him. Her eyebrow twitched. What is it now?

"I'm done with this fucking sappy shit scene. I'm out." Those were Murder's last words before he disconnected, leaving them in an awkward silence before Y/N stifled a giggle.

"I have a feeling that won't be the last time I'm seeing him." Tape Dispenser chuckled while Sleep Deprived's character shook their head, making Y/N softly laugh. After sending friend requests to both people, she bid them both fair well and left.

Y/N turned off her console and tv, putting the controllers on the table near her. She laid down in the comfort of her bed, thinking about her interactions with the people she met. She smiled, closing her eyes and drifting into a dreamless slumber with only one thought in mind. 

King Explosion Murder is such a weird name.

[trashahime]

Anon, sorry for taking so long and the length. There was a lot to address and I tend to ramble. Due to the length I am going to divide your ask in chunks and respond to each paragraph individually for clarity's sake.

I'm curious as to why you have addressed this to Sesskagu shippers both here and later. TBH, this alone will make many doubt that you are truly neutral because you seem to have fallen for the common but false claim that the anti sentiment has it's roots in bitterness over a lost ship war.

Those supporting the end are made up of a variety of people who are simply united in their dislike/disappointment. Among them are shippers and non-shippers, antis, neutrals and even some SR fans who are bothered by how their ship is portrayed.

Personally, I don't think it takes any kind of mental gymnastics to have a problem with how Sessrin is depicted in Yashahime. There are some antis who probably do purposely make the worst possible interpretations to fuel their disgust/anger. But most are being completely sincere in their belief that Rin was married and pregnant by the time she was 15. You have probably already seen and dismissed all the anti arguments to support this view so it would be pointless to rehash them. You can believe it's just about disliking Sessrin but there were many antis like myself who were willing to accept the relationship even if we found it distasteful had Sunrise gone about things differently.

Each "hater" has their own reason for continuing to watch the show and I can't speak for them. Or as a "hater" either as I enjoyed the show. But I also think it's a trainwreck with many issues and problematic portrayals.

If people are targeting individuals and maliciously interacting with their posts then that is definitely harassment. However, I suspect you also mean the general posts made by antis criticizing those who watch the show.

The belief that watching/supporting Yashahime equals supporting a p*dophilic portrayal of Sessrin and other unsavory stuff is an opinion I disagree with. But I also disagree that expressing that opinion is harassment.

I get why you find it to be extremely harsh and hurtful but I also think you are taking it very personally when you needn't.

Consider my position. I'm an anti that still enjoys Yashahime. Most of those posts are made by my moots, some of which I have very friendly interactions with. I have even more reason to feel personally attacked by them but I don't. Just because I respect someone's right to an opinion that doesn't mean I am obligated to agree with it and make it apply it to myself. Unless you agree that liking Yashahime means condoning p*dophilia, then I'd advise you to take the view that those posts don't pertain to you at all.

As for petitions, bad reviews, being glad Yashahime is almost over... Well that's some of the least offensive actions an anti can take. Two of the three are against corporations, not fellow fandom members and the other is just a celebration amongst themselves.

They don't affect anyone else unless the petitions and bad reviews are substantial enough to put the shows future in jeopardy. IMO, the correct counter action is good reviews and supportive petitions, not telling antis to stop. They have the right to express their opinions.

I have seen many grooming and csa survivors say they also don't view Sessrin as having those aspects. However, there are many survivors on the anti side that strongly disagree. While I think that the opinions of those who have endured similar circumstances have more weight, it also creates kind of a never ending tug of war situation where neither side can really "win" the argument because they are equally balanced. For every survivor saying it is, there is one saying it's not.

Generally, I choose not to use the words p*dophilia or grooming when describing the Sessrin relationship or say that everyone who likes the pairing is a P&G apologist.

Many antis don't agree on this, but I think it's possible to have headcanons and scenarios that result in a version of Sessrin in which those things are not present. Fanonwise anyway. To me, the canon situation can definitely be interpreted to believe that they are present.

Mostly, I tend not to use the terms because they have specific psychological and legal definitions. That makes it very easy for SR fans to completely dismiss the idea that they could apply to Sessrin because it's not a perfect fit. I think if it turns out to be part of actual canon or if it's just part of one's own headcanon that Sesshomaru was "waiting" for Rin to grow up and courting her with gifts like the kimonos then that means he had a romantic interest in her when she was too young for it to be acceptable.

He might not be a technical p*do in that he is attracted to children, but his thoughts and actions are of one with regards to Rin. I agree with those that say Sesshomaru would never intentionally manipulate or pressure Rin to be with him, thus not "technically" grooming.

However, informing her via courting that he wants to be with her when she is older does put a type of manipulative pressure on her. For years, she will have to live with the knowledge that her literal savior, the most important person to her in the world, someone she loves and doesn't want to disappoint, is waiting for her. It will absolutely influence her life choices and who she becomes.

No need to apologise, I don't mind being vented at and am clearly prone to long-ass messages myself.

I think you do have some valid frustrations but I don't think they all are.

It's often forgotten that antis are major fans too. Many wanted to love Yashahime but in their eyes Yashahime "bashes" the OG and it's characters. It's ruined something they held near and dear. And they are highly upset about it.

Think about it, that's probably why you and others are so angry at the criticism. It's bashing something you all enjoy or maybe even love and it's making you highly upset. You all are more alike then you realize.

You can let it all impact your fandom experience or realise there is very little you can do about it because that criticism, even if you find it unfounded, harsh or extreme has the right to exist provided it doesn't break the rules of the website. You won't be able to block it all away.

it's a tired old cliche but it's true that you can't control what others do, only your own reaction to it. And frankly I think some of your reactions are as extreme as to what you ascribe to antis. I mean, you want them to stop celebrating the end of Yashahime. How does that really personally affect you?

A change in perspective as I described earlier goes a long way in not taking anti criticism personally. It even works when you are being personally attacked. I have seen posts about me specifically saying I am a deluded and deranged individual with real life mental health issues just because I think Kagura is the mom. Those people don't know me and I know the truth about myself. So why let someone's unfounded false world view affect me or my fandom experience?

Anyway, you probably just wanted to rant and weren't expecting or wanting this massive response. I hope you find a way to deal with the negativity because it's not completely avoidable but it will die down eventually.

#ask #anti sessrin #antisessrin

[logicgunn]

13, 22, 41 and 54 for the ask games :)

13. How do you deal with writers block?

Well first and foremost I'll have a grumble with @bunny-bopper, who'll tell me to "stop being an idiot and go play a video game" till I'm not a grouch anymore! :P

But more practically I try the following:

Lie down in my bed and daydream about what I've done so far. This often helps me to visualise the next scene/chapter or find a way to rework whatever I've written. This is most useful if I've written myself into a corner and need to unpick something or change it completely to continue the fic.

Go back to my notes and read through it for a while. I have a document for each fic in which I write ideas and scenes in some vaguely coherent order plus character and environmental notes. It's a fluid document that I will open up and scribble things down whenever I get an idea even if I'm not actually writing at the time (usually in the middle of the night as I'm falling asleep - why do all my ideas happen then?!) 9 times out of 10 if I'm stuck (but I'm not at a dead end) this will remind me of something I wanted to add that fits naturally into the next scene.

Ask people for help or inspiration. I'm very lucky to be acquainted with people that I consider to be some of the best current fic writers in my fandom, so occasionally I'll post on Tumblr or Dreamwidth or I'll dm someone for help.

Switch to another fic. Chances are if the above doesn't work then I'm in need of a break from that fic. If I can't write the next fic either then I seriously need to step away from word and do something else. I actually often go for many days without writing anything at all.

22. How many drafts do you need until you’re satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you?

This is a hard one for me to answer because my drafts are very fluid. I review my fics continuously as I write them, and send snippets to @bunny-bopper throughout the writing process to beta rather than just send one long draft at the end. I don't consider a fic finished until both she and I have looked it over and I've sat on it a few days and looked it over again. That said, I always find errors within a few minutes of posting that I need to correct! I have to be strict with myself when I reach that point because I'm a terrible perfectionist and nothing would ever be truly "done" if I had my way. I know a lot of people that write swear by multiple drafts and betas but I like to live on the wild side!

41. How many stories do you work on at one time?

Sigh. When I first started writing I was firm in that I wrote had one, and only one, WIP at a time. Any other story/scene/dialogue that popped into my head were written down in note form only, and I forced all my actual writing focus onto that one fic.

These days I have three long WIPs on the go, as well as numerous smaller ones. But I try to limit myself to thinking about only two or three fics at any one time. It actually helps sometimes to switch fics (see Q13), but it also means that I'm going to end up with three long stories ready to post in the same month if I'm not careful.

54. Any writing advice you want to share?

That excellent idea you had at 2am in bed? If you don't write it down then and there you will forget it.

On that note, keep a journal/document/email-to-yourself dedicated to your random ideas and read it when you need inspiration for a fic or scene.

Stick to a single POV, or use a linebreak to switch to another character. Swapping your POV within a paragraph is really jarring for a reader.

If you get stuck on a word/concept/phrase/scene just put a note in brackets [LIKE THIS] and move on.

Don't get bogged down in the word count.

All those archaic rules you learned in English class are there to be broken. I often start a fic with dialogue, end a sentence with a preposition, or abuse italics/parentheses/ellipses. The only people who care are long dead.

Read for pleasure. Reading makes you a better writer.

Alright, because several people have now asked me how I get the links and images into my

Ao3 works

Ao3 notes & summary

Ao3 comments

and (for links only) Tumblr description

Links first, images further down!

Here's a quick guide on how to get the HTML directly from ao3 when you are (like me) too lazy to learn the code by heart... btw the Code is:

<a href="Http: the url you want to have linked">Your link text</a>

So you could also just save this post somewhere xD

On ao3 though, you'll just open a new work (or do it in the work you've already open, but then be carefull not to destroy anything in HTML mode), go to Rich Text, type in your link text, click the link symbol and type/paste your url as follows:

If you only wanted a link in your fanfic, congrats, you're done! Otherwise you'll now want to go back to HTML mode to copy the finished link code and paste it wherever you want to have it :)

Details under the cut:

Please note that the < p > before and after the link are just paragraph breaks, so delete those if you don't need/want those!

For the tumblr description, you need to go to the Web version and edit your description in 'edit theme', there's a post explaining it in more detail here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To add images to Ao3, you first need an image link - you can get those for example through a tumblr post (or draft, if you don't have the image posted to tumblr or it is nsfw and might be deleted - just make sure not to delete the draft later, best use a less used sideblog):

Then go to Ao3 - New Work - Rich Text same as for the links below, but now you select the 'image' icon and paste your image link into the URL field:

You can also add an image description here and adjust the image size, just make sure the lock symbol on the right is closed, otherwise it will distort the image.

If you want to use the image elsewhere afterwards (notes, summary, existing work), go back to HTML and copy-paste the entire text you find here!

Hope this helps! @jackwolfskid @bookerandy @cryhardanddanceharder

[the-faultofdaedalus]

hello, yes, if you were to write a whole fucking essay about hanahaki being a parasite, I would read it so many times 'til I can remember every paragraph, because f u c k- you're so right, I don't get how we always focus on the "oh no, I'm in love, but I don't know if they love me back"-part, and not the "holy fuck, I have a simbiotic relationship with a p l a n t that is growing inside me!"-part. like dud- cancer is scary as fuck and I don't have any other illness to compare,but parasites- :00

hanahaki IS A PARASITE! that’s what it is! that’s not even just my personal opinion: it’s an organism that grows inside of another organisim that results in the death of the host. it’s deffo not a mutualist, is what i’m saying. i just want hanahaki with A L L the fucked-up ness of it being a pathenogenic plant (and like. how did that happen? is hanahaki even a plant at all? is it a weird fungus disguised as a plant? where in kingdom plantae does this thing reside? what HAPPENED to force a non-motile photosynthetic autotroph into the role of a parasite that preys on primates?)

like, IMHO the closet example we have to hanahaki IRL is cordyceps fungus (aka zombie ant fungus) because.... it gets in the body, and eventually it kills the host in the most dramatic way possible, by erupting out of it’s body. 

maybe whatever specific chemicals or hormones or nerve signals and bodily reactions that come with unrequited love is just the trigger for explosive growth in an otherwise mostly benign infection, maybe those chemicals and hormones are something released by the plant itself. who’s to say which way the cause->effect goes? chemicals could trick you into thinking you’re in love with someone before the plant ever grows enough for you to start expelling parts of it. 

the specificity of the petal-coughing really gets to me, though. like. why petals? why are the flowering parts of this plant (and here’s a clue: either this thing is a mimic or it’s an angiosperm) the first parts of it to be physically exposed? where are these flowers coming from? there’s no way it can get pollinated while it is in a person, so why is it trying?

unless the parasite is just one stage of it, and the petals are the means for it to continue growing outside of a body. a haploid phase inside a host, a diploid phase outside, growing, identical to other plants until you breath in the pollen or the seeds and a week later find that you’re coughing more than you should be?

are the petals actually petals or are they just things that look like petals? what does this thing even look like, when it’s inside a host? i know the romanticized version, what it looks like in all the art: a fully blooming plant, more petals and flowers than anything else, but.... that can’t be right, can it? this thing doesn’t -- can’t -- photosynthesize, not until it’s host is no more then fertilizer (at which point, i’d imagine, that just like cordyceps it erupts out of the body and grows the true structure of the plant) but it’d still need leaves, for respiration, mostly. This thing cannot photosynthesize: it is consuming oxygen, not producing it. it needs nutrients: it has to get those from the host. 

does it even have chlorophyl, if it relies on the host for nutrients? maybe these things are albino, unpigmented. ghostly. the stems are thin, the leaves are small -- they have to be, or they wouldn’t fit in the delicate systems of the human lungs -- and the roots grow deep. 

the roots grow deep and thin enough to weave their way through the gaps between two cells, like the filaments of mycorrhizal fungi, into the host’s blood stream where it can provide itself with precious, precious water. this infection does not break the body until it has to. it weaves itself in deep. 

What percentage of veins and arteries in the hosts have fuzzy root tendrils inside of them? how much of the lung is being taken over by the tiny leaves, stealing the oxygen the host needs? just how much of the host is overtaken by the stems and roots of this plant when it finally starts flowering in the bronchi of the lungs, the only places with enough space to do so? 

how much of the symptoms of hanahaki are a shortness of breath, a lack of blood O2, constant dehydration, nutrient deficiencies as the plant takes more than the body can provide? how much is the coughing of petals a sentence, not because of what the plant will do, but because of what it’s already done? 

and that’s not even getting into the potential of this thing making and secreting chemicals into the host’s blood stream to control and guide behaviour!!!

#im using my year 1 major in biosci for GOOD #god if hanahaki was real id love to see one of those human body exhbits where they show all the viens and arteries and capilaries #but for hanahaki #just how big the plant grows before the host is visibly symptomatic #body horror #you ever see those cracks in sidewalks where the roots of trees have grown too big? because. yeah. yeah. #Anonymous

hi friend <3 12 for the fanfic ask meme, if you'll accept a question from someone very bad at keeping up communication but who still has a lotta love for you?

Wren! Wren, Wren, Wren! Hello! So good to hear from you. =D I'd be honoured to talk about myself because you asked. ;P

12. What’s the hardest thing to write for you?

One: Characters I don't understand. If I don't think I know their motivations and their personality and their way of moving and speaking, then they're incredibly difficult to write. Again, I could think I have a character down pat and be making them incredibly OOC but =D That doesn't change the fact that I think I'm doing a good job and a job that is easy lmao.

Two: Fight scenes. Detailed action of any kind. My brain cannot picture it clearly, and therefore my fingers don't know how to language it clearly. Cutscenes and vagueness are the things I cower behind.

Three: (or 2.5, really, because it's incredibly related to two) things that I cannot see in my mind's eye. This often crops up in the 'linking paragraphs' - the bits that need to take you from one important scene to the next. I often tell myself I'm going to be one of those writers who just line breaks and leaves the boring linking bits up to the imagination of the reader but I'm so damn verbose I just cannot stop myself from having to explain everything. Even when it's like pulling teeth to write. Even more difficult than that is when I have a scene in my head that I know the tone/outcome of, but I'm trying to write it without having done a dry run of it in my head, complete with dialogue. It just... doesn't come.

Sometimes scenes that are incredibly important to me or incredibly specifically plotted in my head are hard to write because they're not translating well from imagination to page. There's a lot of frustrated deleting of huge chunks. But even this is easier - or at least easier to come back to edit until it's polished better another day - than trying to make my fingers language a scene my brain and heart don't intimately know.

Four: Anything short. I've tried so hard in the past - I've even done a prompt call where the aim was to write under 1k. I just. I am incredibly wordy (apologetically ashamed).

🍰Rules🍰

Hello there! So, short story short, I saw that there weren't many FNAF imagine blogs and I decided to make one of my own. I was also inspired by other blogs who do imagines as well. Now, I shall present to you the rules.

I have a limit to how many characters that can be requested; which is 6-7.

I have my own interpretations and views on the genders and personalities of each character, so please respect my interpretations. (I don't really want any fights on this matter, but I respect your views if you see a certain character the way you see them. Let's just keep things civil.)

The characters are automatically humanized when answering requests! But you can see them how ever you like to view them! Just a heads up, I do sometimes give slight human descriptions when I'm writing.

I will also have drawings of the characters humanized, so those will be out soon when I draw them out.

Reader will always be gender neutral (unless it's smut or spice, just keep reading to see rules for smut). Also, I'd rather not have extremely descriptive readers (traits are good but if it enters OC territory, that's not okay because I want people to be able to insert themselves when reading).

I have the right to delete/reject a request if it doesn't follow the rules or makes me uncomfortable. Please make sure to ask if you feel like you need to in case of anything.

I can write out headcanons (can be romantic (s/o), platonic, or just how a character will react to a situation) and even if this is something of an xreader blog, you can still ask/request stuff such as how some characters would react to others and such.

Do not send in copy and paste requests! Meaning that do not send in the same request you already sent to another blog. It's honestly very discouraging to some writers when they take notice of this. Please don't do that.

If any request breaks one of these rules, I will delete it!

Be creative with your requests! Don't be shy to express an idea that pops into your head. I'm open to what you all can think of for requests. Most importantly, have fun!

What I Will Do:

Headcanons and imagines of course. An imagine in my own definition is just a short paragraph response, so keep that in mind.

Character Asks! Meaning interactions with any of the characters (I will draw them out, and they will be humanized with these requests). You can ask questions or have them react to what you say or do! Ex: "Hello Bonnie! Would you like this flower crown I made?" (Can be romantic, platonic, or yandere and with any of the characters listed in the masterlist). Important: Only one character per character ask!

I know I never stated this, but I am comfortable with writing yandere themes. Just make sure to block the yandere tag if that makes you uncomfortable.

Angst

Fluff

What I Won't Do:

Very heavy topics such as s*icide, r*pe or detailed violence and p*dophilia.

Character x Character (though I'm not against discussions of ships, I just won't do requests for them) or Character x OC requests. This is a purely Reader Insert Blog (that also includes the human au and designs that could make this an ask blog as well).

Just, anything that'll make me uncomfortable. It's alright. I'll let you all know.

I've decided to stop taking match ups due to the stress of them. I'm so sorry for those who requested matchups and that I've decided to delete them because of the pressures of fulfilling them...

Romantic hcs for Balloon Boy, JJ, or DeeDee. Those will stay strictly platonic.

The sudden realization that I don't dislike Tony but I dislike the fans who erase and excuse his decisions, claim he did absolutely nothing wrong and he's the paragon of good behavior always. That's not the morally gray Tony I loved. Bonus points if they villainize Steve and take pleasure in making Tony punish and humiliate him. Neither of their CACW stances were wrong. I agreed with Tony but after Tr**p's admin came, registrations, illegal crackdowns and military acts make my blood run cold.

i mean, that’s great, but i’m not sure why you’re bringing this to me? on anon? congratulations anonymous pal on your realization are u ready for me to actually respond to this in Too Many Words

i’m a big fan of steve’s but i’m v much not a fan of the people who erase any interesting human flaw he could possibly have and put him on some weird unhealthy pedestal while tearing tony down for things that they’re ok with in literally any other character! weird how that works! weird how this is a two-sided thing, huh

especially since a lot of the “tony is a Good Person and i’m going to write 15 paragraphs about why his behaviour was shitty but Human And Understandable Given The Circumstances” meta turning into “fuck you i love tony stark and he’s perfect” has been a direct result of people trying to make their dislike of tony stark into some kind of hyper-aggressive black-and-white-morality argument! by attacking people in their inboxes and on chill positive posts!

I personally am uncomfortable with a heavily-armed american vigilante group led by a guy who wears the fucking american flag thinking they can cause as much destruction and collateral damage around the world as they want with zero repercussions or oversight, just because they think they’re in the right! steve seeing people die because of how his team handled a situation and reacting by saying “i’m doing good enough and those 117 countries around the world and the families of the dead who are afraid of me need to suck it up” personally makes my blood run cold!!

the accords are far from perfect, but the solution is not to reject the concept of oversight as a whole with no real discussion or compromise because you personally think your team of dangerous people are Good Folk, and quite frankly comparing an african nation spearheading these accords (where the concept was “listen to a UN panel similarly to how you used to work under shield/the military or just Please Retire Because You’re Breaking International Law And Getting People Killed”) to keep themselves and 116 other countries safe,,, to Trump,,, in any respect is. bad, friend, it’s a bad call

the accords as they stand only applied to the avengers. they are an entirely different thing from the mutant registration act situation in the comics (because they’re not a registration act and mutants don’t exist in the mcu). the general concept is “please accept a reasonable number of restrictions to your personal group of vigilantes who almost all signed up to get their powers Or Retire because we can’t let you do whatever you want wherever you want whenever you want with zero oversight because it is Dangerous For Civilians”. the majority of the countries in the world are backing this thing out of fear.

i mean, if anything, it’s fairly similar to the conversations we’re having right now about police brutality and imposing more restrictions and oversight on our police forces in response to innocent people being killed, but on a larger scale

also, on an entirely different note, tony isn’t actually a morally-grey character and the best way for you to handle your issues with the tony stark fandom isn’t to come into my inbox with zero prompting to tell me about your personal problems re: tony and his fans, on anon! have a great day

#kayvswords #this is long but also hi you came to me so have this essay i hope u find a way to deal with ur personal bitterness #Anonymous #mcuwhining #tbd

Oh yes, I did download some of your copies of epubs of deleted fics and I've managed to learn one trick. The uri:insert link here thing. Any other niffy simple tricks with calibre you don't mind sharing?

Oops. I just read this part re: downloading epub copies. Tell me if you need more!

Nifty tricks... One thing I particularly like is the ability to send books to your phone/reading device, while being able to see which ones are already there. Calibre should detect your phone or whatever when you plug it in.

The content server! Even if you just use it locally, it can be super handy. This way, even if you don't plug in your phone and as long as your reading app/device has the ability to access online catalogues, you can still browse your library and download stuff to read *without leaving your bed*.

Tag management! I didn't discover this until later but if you right click on the tag browser, you can pull up a context menu with an option to 'manage tags' which lets you bulk edit tags. Super handy when you're dealing with AO3 tags which have a lot of tags you probably don't find useful when browsing your library. The tool allows you to either delete or consolidate tags.

Hmm... updating series numbering! One thing I think I discovered by accident was that if you select books in a series in the order they belong in, then open the dialogue for editing metadata, put in the series title, calibre will number the books in the order you selected. It's super handy for not having to manually put in the series index for each book.

And who can forget the dedrm plugin! This one is very useful if you have books with amazon but want to read them outside of kindle apps (which I always do because I don't like their apps --- but not as much as I hate drm. Plus, as a linux user most drm'd stuff uses apps that I can't install).

Another feature I use a lot, particularly with fanfic, is the ability to directly edit epubs. This one is useful for the fics where the author wasn't careful about pasting and has a bunch of extra blanks between paragraphs (usually created by having <p> tags surrounding a non-breaking space). Calibre lets you do an easy search/replace to remove those. I also tend to use this to replace weird section breaks with a proper <hr> tag but this usually involves regex and that can get complicated.

Calibre actually has a lot of areas where you can use regex to make your life easier but... even I can get iffy on those.

#mtlyfe #birb calls #calibre is pretty awesome #but i wish the api wasn't so messy #don't even get me started about calibredb #that cli tool is *messy*
