Hiiiiii everyone, I'm Gigi (she/her). This blog is basically going to be fic ideas/ story updates for my AO3 account, Caramal_Treats.
Mainly gonna be Lockyle fanfics, may be other fandoms if something catches my eye.
About me: I'm a minor, I love reading, and I love math. Feel free to message me about:
Lockwood & Co fic ideas
Beta'ing any works (I'm game for most genres)
Prompts/ requests
Fangirling
Anything, pretty much
I'm online a lot (Hey, I'm a lazy student, don't judge), so I'd welcome any messages, even if they're meaningless. (Definitely not because I'm addicted to social media, lmao, *why* would you think that?)
Currently addicted to gaming and also stuff with exams so works are on hiatus until further notice
thinking about the difference in how lucy was treated at jacob's company vs. lockwood and co (especially in episode 2)
because jacobs blamed her for a traumatizing event that was entirely his fault, escaped all legal consequences, and led everyone in town to believe that lucy got her team killed. keep in mind that this is after she worked for him for three years straight.
and then with lockwood, on her VERY FIRST CASE (first in the show, and one of the first in the books) she:
burns a house to the ground
illegally steals evidence from a crime scene
jumps out a window
escapes the hospital
accidentally summons a murderous ghost INTO HIS HOUSE and has to wake him up in the middle of the night so they can fight her
gets caught as an illegal worker, getting him into legal trouble
puts them all into immense debt
and lockwood's like "I think you mean WE burned a house downđ€š" "this is my responsibility because my name's on the door" "I'll get us out of this"
insane that a 15 year old boy is winning employer of the month over this grown adult man after knowing lucy for like one day. he saw her angrily eating biscuits and making threats against the health and safety of his best and only friend and went. yeah. she's my responsibility now
You were looking at the burning cigarettes between your fingers. It's funny really, you swore before that you would never smoke but here you were anyway. You took one last puff before throwing it away and stepping on it.
"That's not nice... You're leaving trash everywhere." Tohma's teasing voice rang behind which caused you to leap away a little, before you realized who he was and rolled your eyes at him. With a huff, you walked away, you had no time for his teasing chitchats right now.
You walked along pavements, passing and bumping into other general students. A few whispered words over here and there, people continuously tapping on their phone, some picking up things that have fallen and of course couples who're showing so much affection in public it makes you want to vomit. You walked faster to reach your dorm but then you saw him....
Haku, still him, still teasing and flirting everywhere, not missing a chance to throw a few inappropriate comments... He was so in his element, unlike you⊠How long had it been since you had broken up? 5 months? 6? Had it been long enough for him to forget you? You were still mourning, even though you were the one who broke it up....
A few months ago, you saw him flirting with another woman again. How many had it been that month? More than you can count, and more than you could accept. You confronted him about it and he deflected it, charming you into forgiving him but you were done, you weren't letting it go just like that.
"Come on princess, you know I don't mean-"
"Let's break up Haku⊠If....if it's always going to be like this, it's better if we just end this now, before I fall further and get hurt," you said, tears forming in your eyes⊠You waited for him to say something, but nothing was said, so you walked out, hoping he would come after, tell you no, that he won't do it again, that this time it's real but no one came after you... Only the continuous sounds of raindrops falling kept you company.
Looking at him now, flirting with the honor student, did it even matter to him? You said pulling out a new cigarette and lit it, you looked at the burning cigarettes and you looked at him, he was the one who taught you how to smoke, influenced you yet now he was the one who wasn't smoking anymore, it's funny really....
You looked at the cigarettes between your fingers once more and this time your expression changed, you were disgusted by it. But still, you didn't stop, until you were tired of the smoke filling up your lungs.
You threw the cigarette somewhere before looking at him one last time but this time, he was looking back, his cat-shaped eyes were looking back at you, the fondness and softness it had before for you were now long gone.
You stared at each other for a few seconds before he broke the eye contact and started charming and flirting with them again, and it made you think if you were the one in wrong and not him, if the two of you only broke up because you became a little possessive of what's supposed to be yours...
Even after all this time, you managed to make me doubt myself, you think with a huff. How ironic of you, Haku Kusanagi.
Note: ty again for my friend for helping me with this!! @caramaltreats dw y'all, I made sure to kiss all the bricks I threwđ«¶đ«¶
So I wanna address something that I've noticed recently in fandom spheres in general (this is specifically going to the tkdb fandom bc I'm still hyperfixated on it right now)
I understand a lot of you guys may be younger and haven't interacted in fandom the way some of us older folks have. And that's fine, but I wanna explain how you can do that!
Because right now a lot of the artists and writers are feeling a little underappreciated and that means we don't really wanna work on requests or events bc they aren't getting a lot of interaction.
First, this isn't an influencer/audience relationship. We're all real people with jobs and lives outside of this, we do it for the love of the game. If you think it's weird or parasocial to try to talk to the person making the art you enjoy that's an issue. Nobody is famous, we're all being goofy ass people playing toys together. Make a comment, reach out to that author if they made your day better!
This is going to sound ridiculous but use youtuber logic: like, comment, subscribe follow! Because chances are with how small our fandom is that your comment is going to be seen and possibly inspire someone to keep going!
Likes are nice, but reblogs are better. If you aren't sure if you want it on your main blog that's fine. You think this is my main? Most of us are on side blogs. Make a little side blog for stuff you enjoy. Tag it so you can find it again. Use the character names or pairings or whatever you want. That's a way to bookmark the work you reblogged so you can find it easily.
Not sure what to really say to someone? If you've never interacted before just be polite but casual. It's a lot like making new friends irl but we have a level of anonymity that is comfortable here. Just don't demand things or try to befriend someone just because you want them to write or draw for you. You won't always hit it off with everyone but just be genuine and kind. You might make friends or just become acquainted, like someone you say hey to when they pass by but aren't close to.
As far as the etiquette of tagging and commenting goes-
Commenting is the reply feature. It goes in a separate thing attached to the work you're commenting on, and it has a larger character limit than the tags. Anyone can reply to you there so it's always good to @ who you're addressing.
Tags you add to the post when you reblog it. They aren't an actual edition to the post. But this is where you can add your keywords for searching for it later. When reblogging there's a feature to include some of the previous person's tags. If you do < or <- at the start of your tag that's indicating that you're referring to what that tag is talking about.
Both of these places are great places to talk about what you like about the work! They are public though so keep that in mind. If you want to talk just to the artist then use messages. Seriously don't be afraid to just start a message to someone it's just like going up and starting a conversation with a person.
But Pom, what do I say? I'm so glad you asked. For me, and a lot of the artists I've seen discuss this, it's not the quality of the message that's important. You can literally just say that character is so cute! Or, this is my favorite line! †And that makes me happy! You can literally just use emojis and keysmashes -> (ajshhdjskakfhakskhf) and I'll get that you enjoyed it lol.
If you're unsure you can look at what other people have added! Some of us go off in our reblogs about how much we love it or how that lighting is incredible or the prose is insanely beautiful! You don't have to match that. Just acknowledging that you enjoyed it is good. Say something about how you hope the next piece is gonna be just as good! Or thank the author for the food lmao.
There's a lot of ways to interact with the artists in fandom. I personally reached out and interacted with one of my favorite ones here on Tumblr and now we message daily and have best friend ocs!
Tldr: If you want content to consume <- nah let's call it what it is. If you want art to enjoy and fic to read, interact with the artists and authors. Show some love with reblogs and comments. It makes us feel like we did a good job and gives us the energy to continue! Lurking is a choice and I for one am so glad I stopped watching people play and started playing with every one. So come on! We're waiting on you guys to join us! Come scream with us about blorbos and crazy theories! â€đâ€đ
I actually got inspired to write more with the likes, comments and reblogs, despite being a first time writer and mostly unmotivated person, I am somehow very motivated to writeđ«¶đ«¶ ty everyone
It was already 1:13 am and you were still wide awake, scrolling through your phone. You tried to put it down but you just kept on tossing and turning, you were jealous of your boyfriend who was sleeping so soundly beside you.
You lay down and looked at him. The moonlight through your windows was shining on him, his beautiful pale white skin and lastly his soft white hair. Honestly, how does this man have much healthier hair than you?
You ran your fingers through his soft locks while admiring his beauty, thinking to yourself- how did you get so lucky with him? You gave him a kiss on the forehead before smiling to yourself, you were about to go back to scrolling through your phone when you felt your stomach grumble. Just great!
You groaned as you forced yourself to stand up and find some snacks to eat. You walked through the kitchen, rummaging the cabinets and fridge. "Why does every food in this place need to be cooked?!" You said getting frustrated from hunger.
"Senpai...what are you doing out of bed?" Someone said groggily from behind you.
"Sho! You scared me! I thought you were an intruder," you said, your hand on your chest, eyes wide from the shock.
"So? Whatcha doing here?" Sho said, dragging his feet to get close to you.
"Well I got hungry...and everything else in this damn place needs to be cooked..." You pouted at the last sentence⊠and to break the moment your tummy rumbled again, getting impatient
Sho looked at you teasingly and you rolled your eyes at him.
He then moved towards the fridge, getting the ingredients to prepare you a light snack
"You should've woke me up, y'know I would've cooked for you," Sho said, voice soft and full of warmth.
You walked closer to him and hugged him from behind. "I know....I just...you looked so peaceful sleeping, I'd feel bad if I woke you up."
"Well, you woke me up anyway," Sho says while turning on the stove and placing the pan over. He started throwing in the prepared ingredients while you kept hugging him and giving him a few kisses here and there.
After a few minutes Sho was finally done and you let go of him to get orange juice for the food he prepared, and then sat on the counter while looking at your boyfriend. You opened your mouth.
"Ahhh," you said, looking at him expectantly. "Come on sho, I'm waiting...."
Sho chuckled and took a spoonful of the food before giving it to you. You closed your eyes, savouring the flavors and a smile immediately formed on your lips.
You opened your eyes and said, "Sho! That's very good! So tasty!!" You said taking more.
Sho just looked at you fondly while you ate, you tried giving him some but he refused and just watched you eat the whole time with a smile on his face.
After you were done you cleaned everything up and dragged Sho back to bed to cuddle with him.
"Thank you Sho..." you said, kissing him before finally drifting off to sleep.
Note: thank you to my friend who help!!! @caramaltreats love youđ«¶đ«¶đ«¶
gorgeous sho who won't give me his card or his heart...
waah my friends all grinding out fics like it's easy is insane and making me wonder about my own lack of motivation (and also pushing me to look at never ever again -maybe)
Today was your boyfriend's birthday and so you decided to bake him a cake since he liked sweets so much. Honestly, you hadnât expected that when you first met him.
It was already 8 in the morning and you were just starting to bake. "A small cake will do just fine, right?" You asked yourself while preparing the ingredients and equipment.
After a long time spent figuring out the instructions, you finally put the batter in the oven. With a satisfied glance at it, you decided to clean up. By that time it was already 9 am, while cleaning you weren't even sure just how you get flour up on your ceiling or how that broken piece of eggshell ended up in your breakfast. Were you so excited for your boyfriend's birthday that you're becoming a little delirious? That's not possible right?
You decided to take a shower first while the cake was baking and after 30 minutes you were finally done. So was the cake, oh the sweet aroma of the chocolate cake was just right! Youâre sure he'll love it! You decided to start prepping yourself for your date with your boyfriend.....well surprise date, since he didnât know about it.
You decided to wear a yellow puff dress to match the color of his eyes, after you were done fixing yourself up, you packed up the cake and went to Dionysia.
On the way there you bumped into Jo.
"Hello inspector-chan! Here for Shion?"
"Yes, do you know where he is?"
"Yes, he's actually at his tent right now, tell him happy birthday for me."
You smiled and nodded at Jo, he was sweet as usual. On the way to your boyfriend's tent you were starting to imagine how he would react.... And before you know you were in front of his tent and decided to invite yourself in.
"Shion? Are you her- AHHH!"
You were surprised by your boyfriend suddenly sneaking up behind you. What a menace, really!
"Oh? What do you have there? And what are you wearing?"
You smiled at him offering him the cake.
"Happy birthday! I know you like sweets so I baked one for you."
"What is this?" he asked, his voice taking on that soft, melodic, yet deeply unnerving tone he so often used with everyone. He didn't reach for the box right away. Instead, he tilted his head with a dark, teasing smile curving on his lips. "Do you want to be with me forever, sweetheart? Then how about a bite of this flesh? Hmm?â
You gave him an unimpressed look
"Really? I'm trying to be a sweet girlfriend here, canât you appreciate it a bit?"
"You went through all this trouble... for a simple human pastime," he murmured, his eyes flicking up to meet yours.
You put the cake down on a table and walked closer to him and caressed his face.
"Of course Shion.... because this âsimpleâ human loves you," you said fondly before leaning in and giving him a peck.
Note: would ya look at that I wrote another oneđđ ty for my friends who help me wrote this @caramaltreats and the others, love all of youđđ happy birthday shion!!!
no inspo to write, so beta'ing for my friends, go check out her other works too! can u tell that i've been gaming a lot recently, can feel myself losing brain cells hahhaaaha
my lukewarm Lockwood and Co take is that I think Lucy underestimates her appearance but simultaneously overestimates Lockwoodâs, so they actually average out as a perfectly normal, mediocre looking pair of teenagers whose descriptions are greatly filtered through LucyVision.
Hi guys sorry I've been so absent recently. Due to life problems and a drastic increase in the amount of homework I have, I've decided to post a new chapter of Never Ever every month. I'm sorry that it'll be so spaced out, so I've decided to chop the chapter into a few parts and post them weekly or bi-weekly on Instagram, then once I've finished the whole thing put it on AO3. I hope this will work for everyone, hopefully once I get past my competition season I'll have more time and inspo to write <3
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, âwhatâs the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?â and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is âunofficialâ, and we know thatâs not the right word, but itâs the only word we can come up withâŠuntil finally itâs like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is âartificialâ.
Lucy: Sometimes I feel like I'm failing miserably.
Holly: *cheerful* Come now, we should all be positive!
Lucy:
Lucy: Sometimes I feel like I'm failing excitedly.
Holly is their therapist đ she makes sure they grow into a wholesome little family, one encouraging comment at a time.
For those lucky enough to have a valentine, hope you spent a love-filled day with someone who loves you the way Lockwood loves Lucy- with undying devotion <3
For those who don't (like me T_T), we'll always have our book boyfriends, so keep you chin up and dive into your books. Be single, delulu, and proud of it!
Holly: yes, my circus. yes, my monkeys. proud tears forming in my eyes. love sprouting deep in my chest
Kipps: it's not my circus, but... I am a man with a sense of obligation and duty. very well. I will care for these monkeys. I will raise them as if they were my own
Barnes, every single book: just went to someone else's circus and my fucking monkeys were there
Norrie on the Other Side: not my circus but one of their monkeys used to be mine
Donald and Celia on the Other Side: okay it is kind of our circus but we don't know where all those monkeys came from
