do you write nsfw now? your blog says 18+ and you follow nsfw writers. last i check yuo were a sfw blog so thought might as well check before i send spicy requests

18+ because I am an adult and big into gore. Nsfw would go into a side blog but I'm incapable of writing smut no matter how hard I try so like, sorry to disappoint you broski lol

Velvet di you like coffee

???? How did you find me what

I do like coffee when it's sweet and creamy though... I don't drink much but I hope that makes sense

[flowerdustedstars]

Going to reply to your ask properly Vil anon but unfortunately my friend's Vil fics are all private and in dms </3

I have their permission to write stuff based off of things we've talked about and they shared with me though!

[flowerdustedstars]

soft yanderes as a concept does not make sense to me..... like so you want the salad bowl with no salad? just the bowl?.. what makes up a yandere is their violent tendencies for the lengths they'd go for their darling whom they love vvvv much, so for them to remove an essentially very important trait? that's not even a yandere anymore </3 it's just a partner who's clingy and very in-love w their s/o -vil anon

Yeah! Yeah exactly!!! They're not even yanderes why are we calling them yanderes??? I think being a yandere would show up differently for every character which might make them not have certain traits that comes with being a yandere, but removing the yandere part entirely is something else I swear.

If the yandere isn't throwing a huge fit because I did something wrong or someone else did something wrong when it came to me then I don't want them and don't think they're a real yandere

[flowerdustedstars]

Rant about soft yandere I want to hear your thoughts. Esspecially since I’m going to be writing yandere stuff myself. I beg thee rant

Okay listen carefully now, my first exposure to soft yanderes was through Vil twisted wonderland. One of my friends had a really good grasp on his characters and they'd write him as abusive regardless of him being yandere or not. And like, I was so so spoiled by them that when I finally checked the Vil x reader posts on here I got slapped in the face by how ooc they all felt

This was exactly around when I came across a bit of soft yandere Vil posts and they were worse somehow??? Like people at least wrote yandere Vil as being shitty but now with soft yandere Vil they took away that shittiness and made him all nice and kind and the only "yandere" thing about him was him being overprotective now which???? Why are we even calling that a soft yandere be real.

Bonus thing I want to complain about real quick as well but in one of the soft yandere Vil fics I read, it said that Vil would refuse to kiss anyone during a movie and that he'd only ever kiss you and like no??? Wrong??? Vil wouldn't consider that a real kiss so why should he care and normal Vil wouldn't care about you kissing someone for a movie either because it's not a real kiss, but yandere Vil would be seething if you kissed anyone else for a movie while being okay with kissing someone else instead.

I... really need to write for twst and Vil especially bc he's so fun but edkjfdkjf anyway back to my rant about soft yanderes

I think it's one thing if you write a character as a full on yandere first then slowly turn them into a soft yandere as part of the yandere's redemption, but every soft yandere post I've read so far is just people romanticizing yanderes but wanting to come across as morally right by not wanting to make the yandere too bad

In general, over the time I spent online as a writer, I've come to believe that the whole yandere romanticization thing is bullshit made up by losers with lots of followers who want to bully anyone who doesn't write what they want to write. Some of the most horrific and realistic depiction of yanderes that left me anxious were written by people who romanticize yanderes. Not to mention that everyone I've seen who says shit like "don't romanticize yanderes" are either ableist losers who you'll find make out yanderes to be a mental health issue and thus demonize those who are mentally ill, or those who fetishize/romanticize yanderes but want to make themselves look like a good person.

Ever notice how most of the authors saying "I don't condone yanderes/Don't romanticize yanderes" only ever write for male yanderes? You know, the gender that they're attracted to? I'm sorry but the "exploring abuse" excuse doesn't hold up to me when there's plenty of abuse to be explored between familial/platonic relationships but these authors only ever seem interested in exploring domestic violence with male partners specifically. I don't think everyone who does it is doing it because they secretly romanticize yanderes but it sure is suspicious when that's what a majority of yandere x reader authors seem to be doing.

But yeah that's why I hate soft yanderes. They can be done right but most of the time they're a symptom of pretentious people who think they get to dictate what's right and what's wrong to do in fucking fiction of all places. If you have to tell your audience to not romanticize yanderes, chances are that all your readers are kids who are going to be influenced by how you wrote the yanderes anyway because they're kids. As a kid reading those yandere fics I can assure you that I rolled my eyes whenever I saw those "warnings" and they didn't do shit to stop me from romanticizing yanderes back then. Any author who does that is just virtue signalling or saying it just to make themselves feel good about being a ""good"" person without actually taking the steps to be one and it's so skjdmgksdgs

[flowerdustedstars]

nouuuu woobifying "evil" characters is like ?!???!?!? it kills them 😭😭 like yea sometimes slight oocness is necessary to come up with something, but to round an abuser's edges (it sounds so apathetic, im sorry, im trying to find a way to describe it with my poor english) so they're able to HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP?!!!! that's a whole different character atp 😭 or an au 😭

Depends on the woobification honestly, sometimes the evil character is turned completely nice to everyone and sometimes the evil character is still mean and abusive to everyone except the reader.

That second one is usually how soft yanderes are handled (and honestly I hate the entire concept of soft yanderes but I digress) and is also the way I'd be going about it

[flowerdustedstars]

I see your point on woobifying lol. Part of the reason I woobify Shiomi is because she reminds me of my mother at times. And how she was jealous of me when I was younger and took it out on me. But I really like your writing and part of how you don’t woobify the characters but also don’t make them too dark like some works I’ve read. Keep up the good work

I think having headcanons and treating characters according to those headcanons is fine! I personally make Lordlu switch back and forth being flirty with a loved one vs being particularly exasperated by his loved one, and to be honest I'm not above writing full on fanservice where the character is ooc and gives full special treatment to the reader <- hypocrite9000

The problem is more so like, if someone wants a scenario of their favourite terrible character comforting them then they should mention in their requests ahead of time if the character should be woobified or softer with the reader.

I think every character is flexible enough that you can put them in any scenario and make it work but I am going to try to make them accurate to canon if you don't tell me otherwise

[flowerdustedstars]

YOU'RE SO RIGHT?? no bcs sometimes it's difficult to write for overall terrible characters, because as you write for a specific prompt/plot it's just "They Would Not Do That" repeating in your head.. i feel it'd be better if you write them as they are in canon, that's in my opinion because the true appeal to these characters for me is how unforgivable they are or even how cruel they can be even if it can also be redirected to their hypothetical s/o,, it's part of them&their character and it just doesn't feel right to make them softer,, just my two cents -vil anon

I prefer them as they are in canon as well. Like if I went looking for fics of a verbally abusive character and no one wrote them as verbally abusive I'd be disappointed, but also depending on the context it might make more sense for them not to be verbally abusive ?????

Nothing is black and white and I think woobification has its place sometimes but I do agree with you fjgdsfsgjv making terrible characters be soft feels off putting

[flowerdustedstars]

can I ragebait you?? ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Kindly get out of my house before I throw you out a window

[flowerdustedstars]

wait do you do requests??

Some of you really need to check my pinned post 😭 but yes I do requests, I just prefer to write what I want to write and I'm a slow writer so you don't see me posting many requests

[flowerdustedstars]

hi velvet hope youve been well !! i impusively got limbus battle pass sigh... the rewards were SO worth it though, also picked up a middle heathcliff from the guaranteed extraction 🤞 (and like 600 outis egoshards.. she's my favourite haha...)

the recent s corp hong lu fics u've been writing too 😍😍 we're being fed well

-🍚

600 Outis shards... I'd think you were a friend of mine who's also insane for Outis but I don't think they're the type to send asks.

I've been procrastinating on writing a bit but I'm glad you like the S Corp Hong Lu stuff!!

[flowerdustedstars]

Personally I see Shiomi as softie (in shiomi terms) because if say it’s like a relationship or her comforting someone. You’ve already gone through the hurdle of her being her and her being abrasive to everything and everyone. But that’s just me lol.

That question is terrible in the sense that it's heavily context dependent and even the worst person can be a bit of a softie if the situation called for it, but like, they're still going to be horrible for the most part.

IMO if you went to Shiomi for comfort because you were sad at something she'd snap at you and tell you to get over it, and only try to comfort you way later after she starts feeling guilty. If she feels guilty.

Some people are very much into the "snap at you and tell you to get over it" and find it comforting, but others would find it discouraging and upsetting. I don't want to woobify terrible characters but I put more importance on the well-being of real people, so while my go to would be to write about Shiomi snapping at you, writing her a bit ooc so the person who sent the request isn't a problem for me

But like, I am side eyeing everyone who chooses the softer option a bit LOL

[flowerdustedstars]

Real quick but when you send me requests with a character known for being terrible, do you expect me to write them as being softer or as terrible as they are in canon?

?

I prefer them a bit softer

I prefer them to be terrible

Remaining time: 1 hour 56 minutes

This won't like, make me woobify the character when I'm writing for them on my own but I am curious

On that note I might also include this in the request guidelines moving forward because it might be awkward if you come to me seeking fluff to comfort you only for me to hit you with "no that character wouldn't love you or support you lmfao"

[flowerdustedstars]

I don't know if anyone here follows hsr leaks but I do and I'm glad that people are finally catching onto the fact that mortis leaks is a fraud when I've known from the get go.

Admittedly they did have reliable leaks but they've stated the obvious so many times only for people to still worship them and call out anyone who doesn't like or trust mortis as being a snowflake like ?????? hello

[flowerdustedstars]

Slicing down rows upon rows of enemies felt so easy for Bamboo-hatted Kim in that moment, but why?

Was it because of his anger? Anger at the fact that these people dared to take you away from him when he wasn’t looking?

Was it because he was anxious? Anxious of what they might’ve done to you and how they might’ve hurt you within the time period that he wasn’t around?

Or was it because of his hatred? The one that he can’t seem to get rid of, not when he failed to protect you and got you kidnapped. Not when all he did was leave your side for a few minutes, but those few minutes provided the perfect chance for the enemy to strike.

Despite everything he had gone through, it seemed like he still hasn’t learned anything.

The battlefield turned into a bloodbath before long. Not a single person who could get between you and him stood in his path, but he also didn’t have a single person that he could question to find out where you were currently located.

He should start looking for you now, huh?

igg mael with a reader who likes ragebaiting her whenever they're not being funny or nice to other people even though they act genuinely sweet to her sometimes

old married couple bickering

i wrote and edited the majority of this during various shifts at work so i hope it reads okay orz

ragebaiting as a love language ~ ishmael

<I thought you two couldn’t stand each other.> Dante had commented that morning, before the company set out on yet another distortion hunt. At their suggestion, everyone split up into small groups, and you not-so-accidentally ended up right at Ishmael's side to try to ensure you were together. This hadn't gone unnoticed by your clockheaded manager, who immediately turned to face you both as they were arranging the teams.

You'd looked up from your nails, which you had been inspecting in an effort to appear nonchalant. “What makes you say that?”

<...Yesterday Ishmael said ‘I can't stand you’ and stormed off.>

At the time, you had just shrugged your shoulders and bit back a grin. No one could really figure out your relationship; even the sinners who had a decent idea of your feelings for each other, or who had noticed that you tended to vanish and reappear at the same times, couldn't quite pin it down.

This wasn’t purely because of any need to keep things private, though. While you didn't run around professing your affections in front of the others, you weren't exactly a secret kept under lock and key. You could be plenty sweet with her, though toned down in public, and it wasn't like play fighting made up the majority of your interactions. No, a significant portion of the confusion came from the constant, nonstop bickering between the two of you.

The only thing that kept it from becoming an issue was that you both fought well together. In fact, you tended to gravitate towards each other in a fight no matter where you started out, and your synergy had been notable enough that you were paired up more often than not. And, miraculously, you both never took it too far or let it impact your work. But there were many times that you couldn't help yourself, and you just dug deeper and deeper under her skin. Especially when she was in a mood like this.

“Maybe there was another travel brochure you could've read to prepare for that.”

The glare she shoots you is almost enough to get you to shut up. Almost. It would have been more severe had a glob of mysterious goo not been slowly gliding down from the top of her head, some remnant of the distortion's final few attacks before you'd successfully suppressed it.

“Remember the other day in the Mirror Dungeon when you got turned into a paste on the floor?” She asks, reaching up for one of the more gelatinous of the globs clinging to her.

You tilt your head, eagerly awaiting her retort. For all of her protesting, and acting like you were barely more than a thorn in her side, she teased you back just as ruthlessly. Meaner than she teased the others, that was for sure. “Yeah?”

Ishmael looks almost wistful for a second. “That was a peaceful five minutes.”

“Aw, you were counting down the moments till I came back?” You shoot back right away.

The goo splats on the floor of Mephistopheles, splattering onto your boots in a way that definitely wasn't intentional. You ignore it; there's been all sorts of nasty things on them at this point, and Ishmael's freckled face all screwed up in annoyance is a far nicer sight.

She rolls her eyes, both at your response and the dopey way you're staring at her. “Something like that.”

“Oi. You two are blocking the road. Go fight it out somewhere else.” Heathcliff shoves past you on the way to his room, and you become acutely aware of the fact that you've been going back and forth in the middle of the cabin. Again.

What had once been concern (for you, mostly. You were the agitator, after all.) or confusion at your sudden change in caring disposition from the other sinners had long since turned into apathy and mild amusement. Nothing ever came of the constant back and forth, and to most, it was barely more than background noise now. At the very least, neither of you had ever ended up decapitated as the result of your games.

Nobody understood what the two of you had, and you didn't care to help them.

Rodya, still sitting in her seat and waiting for the others to file past her, props her head up on her hand. “I just can't figure you two out.”

And though you shrug your shoulders at her and let a smile slip, as if to say that you can't either, you follow right behind Ishmael as she makes her way into the corridor.

The moment the door shuts, and just after a cursory glance around, you catch her hand in yours, uncaring of the sticky film that coats her weathered palm. Grimace aside, she makes no move to pull away from you, though you know she'd be happier to hold your hand in any other state than this.

“Do you want help washing your hair, Ish?”

She sighs, but doesn't consider the offer much further. You figured that she wouldn't. For how often she ended up getting covered in various sorts of gunk, you'd think she would tie her mass of hair back. But you were fond of it, so you never considered making that suggestion aloud, just in case she thought you didn't like helping. “...if you're offering.”

With your free hand, you locate a semi-goopless wave of orange, twirling the end in your fingers. “You're still pretty, goop or no goop.”

Her cheeks turn red, her glare focused solely on the repetitive pattern on the floor. “Do you ever shut up?”

“Only if you make me.” Was a reply that came all too easily, thrown out with a smug grin.

Her cheeks burn brighter, and she scoffs like you've pissed her off even further, but she doesn’t let go of your hand.

word count: 974

anyway oneshot brought to you by: i know symbolically why ishmael is always getting covered in goop but i genuinely cannot figure out how she deals w it in her hair afterwards. like i think i'd just be bald
