i was getting ready for court, putting my long brown hair into two spikes. as i looked at my brown eyes in the mirror, my boss came in. “i sold you to pay our debts” he said. “come meet your new master.” i went downstairs and there he was...klavier gavin
2 gays and 8 little hecklers
Reads a fanfic: that was good, I'll leave a kudos
AO3: You have already left kudos here
Me:
and one night shi qingxuan takes one of that bitter spiritual power candies and lies in bed… he doesn’t utter in his mind that password he and the earth master had chosen together out of a book of poetry for his private communication array because he thinks it will work, he utters it because if he knows it will not work… but it works
there is only silence on both sides, but the connection is open… if he speaks, black water will hear it… if black water speaks, he will hear it…
neither speaks, both know… both lie in their bed, on their back, rigid as sticks… the minutes pass
why doesn’t he kick me out of his communication array? shi qingxuan thinks
why did he reach for me? he xuan thinks
they are hopeful and they are terrified
an hour passes and it’s almost as if they were lying next to each other… and they know how it feels to lie next to each other
doesn’t he hate me? does he still care about me?
their hearts are agitated by a myriad of question
the hours pass and eventually shi qingxuan’s spiritual energy terminates… the exhaustion puts him to sleep, the shock keeps he xuan awake
i ain't never seen two pretty best friends. it's always one of them gotta be plotting the downfall and demise of the other's brother because of a tragic scheme involving the swapping of their fates centuries prior.
If I were to be in charge of creating a Murderbot film or TV series, I would start with an introduction from Murderbot speaking directly to the audience going something like, “So, you wanted my account of these events for your documentary, but rather than just using my internal memory, I’ve pieced this together using drone footage, the habitat security cameras, and the helmet cams of the team. I’ve cut out all the boring bits and all your messy, human, biological processes. Where I thought it would be helpful to explain my thought process at the time, I’ve added my own commentary to the events. I also thought it needed a bit of ambience, so I’ve used audio clips from the soundtracks of these shows,” list of names like Adventures Through Space and Time, and Pirates of the Sixth Dimension go scrolling up the screen, “to enhance the mood. Overall, I’m pretty proud of it and I think it’s got a much better narrative coherence than a lot of serials I’ve watched but I can give you the raw footage if you really insist.”
Then the entire thing would be filmed as if on in-universe cameras, making use of having drones flying around everywhere constantly to justify wide shots and the like.
We get Murderbot’s sarcastic inner monologue like a commentary track on the whole film.
Anytime we see footage from Murderbot’s perspective, there are text overlays of feeds like IM chat in one corner, and hub alerts in another. There’s also picture-in-picture so that it can see what different groups of people are doing when they’re spread out in the habitat or whatever, and what it’s seeing can be pushed off to one side while it’s paying attention to stuff that’s going on somewhere else (or watching Sanctuary Moon). There should be several moments when a soap opera is taking up basically the entire screen, with some tiny thumbnails down in one corner showing the research crew working or talking or whatever.
Any time someone mentions the company, there’s a blur over that person’s mouth like when footage censors swearing, and the audio has been obviously dubbed over with a slightly different sound quality, or maybe the tone is slightly different. It’s really obvious that something else was said originally and “the company” has been spliced in over the top of whatever was said originally. The only exception is Murderbot’s commentary monologue which just uses “the company” in perfectly normal audio.
Any logos/written text with the name of the company is also obviously censored throughout.
Dazai and Chuuya’s relationship across alternate universes
basically me doing coloring and style exploration with soukoku as my muses
In a universe they are…
Young demigods, each carrying unwanted burdens and expectations—unfavored by the Fates. (the song of achilles kind of angst and hades game kind of comfort)
In another,
They are the most wanted criminals of the sea, yet no one seems to have information on the real names of the notorious “Demon Pirate” and the legendary “Stormbringer”……aside from ‘mackerel’ and ‘slug’…(the only universe where dazai gets the fancy hat title)
In one universe,
They are the most feared detective duo of Yokohama. Despite their violent history, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya now set their hearts and abilities on saving people and protecting orphans. (and are father figures to several of them including the wanted weretiger)
In yet another universe,
They are world class figure skaters, known to be bitter rivals by the media. Famous for their own record breaking programs and titles, their rivalry would always be the main attraction of every competition. (only for them to announce something completely unexpected during their last olympic gala performance: their engagement)
And perhaps in another one, or in a timeline they’ve live through in the past…
They are warriors of the sword in their ancient homeland. A fearsome duo—powerful enough to defeat armies; cunning enough to end dynasties of schemes. (yet a tragic time they lived in, a tragic ending they got)

Stay?
First off, I am mildly frustrated by Tumblr’s tagging/search system because there is absolutely no hope for finding content related to a work with a name like “Stay?”
I played through E Jade Lomax’s Choose-Your-Own-Adventure fiction “Stay?” and it is absolutely wonderful. I think the author’s description sums it up best:
WHAT IS “STAY? ” ?
An interactive fiction story.
A dating sim wrapped up in a fantasy adventure puzzle.
A quest to find your own happy ending in a world where you always get a second chance.
The absolute depth here to discover, the little glimpses you get into all of these character’s hearts through loop after loop. I think the most transformative moment for me was realizing that the ultimate goal isn’t to find a way to stop the loops; it’s to build a life that you’re happy to leave the loop with.
TW⚠️: suicide, blood, angst, bsd beast spoilers :,)
this is how i’ll be coping from beast au
edit: awt the beast tags aren’t working so I’m sorry if this caused any damage other than intended angst for intended audience 🤡

I wish at the part in Death Note where L and Light have their tennis match and the teacher wants them to join the tennis team that he successfully convinced them and the whole story just abruptly pivoted to a sports manga
