I'd rather be reading

[blueisthebestcollour]

So, I have this guy that goes to the same college course as me (different years, but the uni is as small as an egg, so everyone knows everyone) and also works at the local bookshop.

As two bookworms going to the same Literature course as we are, we tend to chat when I go there. Because talking about books with someone like you is nice. And- because I think he's cute, sue me.

So I went there today and he goes to show me his book journal, which does not mean anything, I know. And I finally asked him about the Belle bottom he uses on his approm and I discovered he also loves BatB and we NERD OUT BIG TIME FOR A WHILE. No big deal, right? Nerding out is fun.

BUT THEN HE SNEAKS IN HIS BELLE BOTTOM INTO THE BOOK I BOUGHT AND TOLD ME TO KEEP IT. And yes, it doesn't exactly mean anything, but NOW I'M GIGGLING TO MYSELF BECAUSE THAT'S JUST SO CUTE AKABSBSHAHG I feel like I'm in a meet cute fic

I need to write a fic like this ASAP

The brazilian Portuguese voice actors of Olruggio and Qifrey just dubbed an Orufrey audio and I am literally FROTHING BY THE MOUTH-

I just got out of the Supergirl movie, and something that really stood out to me was that it didn't really sexualize women. Maybe I let something slip while watching, but if I did, it was minimal.

They had the "perfect excuse" to sexualize at least the girls that were trafficked, but they didn't. They didn't sexualize them, or Ruth, or Supergirl.

The bar is on hell, really. This should be the bare minimum, but at least the bare minimum was met.

I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written

is this anything

WHA manga spoilers-

I was thinking about how baby Qifrey probably has no idea what culturally significant terms like "boyfriend" or "marriage" even mean. Like, how could he? his memory was wiped over and over, and it doesn't seem like he's learning this stuff from the witches, right? At least not intentionally. There's a lot of gaps in his understanding of human relationships. SO i wondered, what if someone teases him like, "oooh, is olruggio your boyyyfriend?" and Qifrey is just like. Um??? yeah. he's a boy and he's my friend??

Anyway I wrote a fic about it lol

Have you heard the news?

Summary:

“Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

“Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

-

A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.

So, I went into a Witch Hat Atelier rabit hole and, for me, that means creating the characters in The Sims 4. What could go wrong, right?

(Everything, it seems)

(Spoilers for the manga ahead, BTW)

So. Qifrey was in the middle of cooking a salad. He was feeling rather playfull (I guess that's the emotion?? I play it in Portuguese). He was just cooking before going to work as a teacher.

And, then, he died of playfullness. In the middle of the kitchen, while cooking, in front of the kids.

If it weren't for the fact Olruggio had a death flower or whatever is the name of the flower, Qifrey would be DEAD RIGHT NOW!! BECAUSE HE FELT TOO SILLY!!

Qifrey, my beloved- THE SILVER TREE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW YOU HERE!! WHY??? WHY???

(Also. Olly being the one to have the flower to save Qifrey's life? So cannon!)

[hushtea]

wild to me that Olruggio and Qifrey get to be black/white, sun/moon, fire/water, AND grumpy/sunshine. truly the couple of all time.

Riddle and Floyd at last let me finish chapter ten! *throws confetti*

I know it's not a Florid or a Riddle fic, but I loved how their characterization turned out. They are so chaotic yet adorable!

And the question remains: how are the people at the mansion at Sage Town goint to rescue our dear Belle, Leona, from Vil's deal? Is it possible?

I'm the kind of writer that is used to pull just 4k words in a chapter. There will be plenty, PLENTY of chaps, alright, but I almost always stop at around 4k. Like it's magic or something. Maybe my brain got programmed to do it, IDK.

But then there's chap 10 of Days in the Sun.

I reached 5K and this shit JUST KEEP'S GROWING!! Like???

And it's a Riddle-focused chap, too. In a Leovil fic. With Florid protagonism, by the way.

Those two idiots invaded my story and WON'T LET ME FOCUS ON THE MAIN STORY UNTIL I GIVE THEM THEIR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME!!! UHHH *series of swearwords in Portuguese*

dream where everything goes right for jamil: and all the housewardens leave so i can take over the school. except azul. he'll perpetually stand next to me and call me master

[sunderwight]

TWST AU where Yuu seems to have accidentally time traveled back to the start of their first year at NRC, except they quickly switch to thinking they must be in some kind of alternate universe because everyone is being so nice and comparatively well-adjusted? Even Grim! Ace just shows them around the school grounds and Deuce arrives of his own volition to introduce himself, Jack shows up at Ramshackle house like I heard someone was staying here so I brought food, two minutes later Epel arrives with extra bedding from the Pomefiore dorms, Sebek is like hello if you have any troubles I will assist, Ortho gifts them a phone right away like welcome to school I took the liberty of adding me and my brother to your contacts, it's wild.

Anyway, turns out the other freshmen also just time traveled. Everyone has it figured out by the time Ace doesn't trigger Riddle's overblot (it's still impending but Ace is NOT doing the tart thing again), but for the first couple of days it's a comedy of misunderstandings, with each of them thinking they've somehow butterfly effected events into changing right out of the gate.

Twst au where the scarabia arc happens before octaniville one so jamil and kalim have to help yuu and grim and everyone break out of their deals with azul and Jade and Floyd.(does this mean that leona and the savannahclaw people had to help defeat jamil? Probably and hey thatd influence the ignahyde arc too)(also the ramshackle crowd begging leona for help with the contracts and him being all "I already helped you, go away!! " but being bullied like an older brother to help the lower classmen )

They try to break into the vault by having jamil say he wants to transfer dorms and everything and distracting azul and the tweels(he did not agree to any of this but kalim said they had to help yuu and the others bc they did save all their lives(he might be enjoying himself))

Jamil is judging everyone bc he had no scarbia students sign a deal with azul for the study guides and the fact he has to go be bait for azul(which he didn't think would work but azul is obsessed with him) is irksome

But also azul and Jade and Floyd treat him better than a lot of the other characters do, esp after jamils overblot(is he having a personal crisis about it? Yes he is)

Azul overblotting bc grim or ace or someone blows jamils cover after the contracts get destroyed and azul/jade/floyd are HELLA BETRAYED(jade suspected jamil was up to something and Floyd didn't really care but jamil does feel guilty about it)

Jamil comforting azul after the battle and yeah he doesn't join the octaniville house but he does hang out there more

Also having jamil see azuls overblot form and being flustered about it(also his and the tweels mer forms)

Unofficial dialog

Azul: you want grim and ace and the others free from working here? I'll bet u can't get a specific picture from an undersea museum in 3 days and ill take ransacked as collateral

Yuu, done with everything and not about playing dirty: what about convincing jamil to transfer to ur dorm?

Azul, having a big fat crush on jamil and losing all other trains of thought: wat

Jade and Floyd who know about azuls big fat crush on jamil and seeing how the turn tables have started twisting in the other direction: what

Yuu, smelling blood in the water: yeah what if I convince jamil to come meet with you here and swap dorms instead of all that business with my only shelter in this strange world vs a picture? Jamil must truly need better conditions esp after his lil incident a few weeks ago. He's still suffering and maybe he'll be open to a fresh start

The octatrio having not known the specifics of jamils lil incident but knowing it happened: wat

Who ordered Vil as the beast and being mean to Leona?

... Uh, no one? Ok. I'll just put right about here-
