Ness, a mess of distress

They/Them. 23. I am bad at updating fanfics.

[not-the-loch]

Long overdue intro post

(Seriously, I've been on this website for like a decade, it's been a long time coming)

Hi there, I'm Ness! (Hence the username)

(Not my real name for obvious reasons but we vibe. I'm also Scottish in case you couldn't tell.)

They/Them pronouns, that occasionally changes but tbh it's rare enough that I'll just say they/them. Genderfluid bisexual.

I'm a writer, and on AO3 at not_the_loch.

(To clarify, this is fanfic only. I choose not to share my original works under this online identity, separation of church and state people)

I also beta read! DM for requests.

Header pic is of a dwarf hawkfish! Which if you know anything about them, you can probably guess why that is lmao.

Profile pic is of Arachnida, the human spider from a 20s silent film called The Show. Never actually seen the film but I felt a kinship.

#ness' messes is the tag I use to signify my personal posts (ie not reblogs or posts that are not, or somewhat not fandom related)

Asks are open!

Reading the kindle version of the AFTG series is honestly hilarious bc the 'popular highlights' are sometimes just profound character work but more often than not it's. Just the gayest bits. I respect that so much.

POV: you've just relilised you've put your fave (and expensive) lipstick in the washing machine and there's no way to get it out for another 30 mins 🙃

Update: She survived! 😀

The tomodachi life demo is so fun guys

Several weeks later, we got a Yuta now! (I was procrastinating drawing their jewellery)

And now a Trucy! Polly's got both his siblings now :) (may add a Rayfa later but she's more a sibling by proxy). Not quite as happy with her as the other two — her features are weirdly hard to translate to mii-self. I had to re-adjust a few times.

ALSO THE GAME KNOWS.

Making this post in case I never write that fanfic I've been planning for months.

Anyway, I think we need to point out the fact that Nahyuta has some great weird girl potential. Like, I like the angst and the despair and the older sibling complex as much as the next person but they're such a weird ass motherfucker and I think we should embrace that more. They spent an hour in line for a burger. They memorised what I'm guessing is the Wikipedia page for Rakugo, presumably just so they could fuck with anyone who asked them about it. They have stupid ass insulting nicknames. They're a weird ass bitch. Have fun with that.

If you want to know how my mental health is doing atm, my brain took 'my mum was more upset than normal at me heading back off to uni' as 'she's had a magical motherly premonition that one of us is gonna die soon and this is the last time we'll say goodbye in person'

In other news, I might need to look into upping my ssri dose.

Ace Attorney Best Kid Tournament | Round 1, Part 13

Kay Faraday, age 10 and age 17

Nahyuta Sahdmadhi, age unclear

Voting ended onMar 26

Kay debuts in AAI1-3 The Kidnapped Turnabout, and appeared as a 10-year-old in the flashback case AAI1-4 Turnabout Reminiscence. 

Nahyuta appears as a child in flashbacks in Spirit of Justice. 

[not-the-loch]

Look I say this as a Nahyuta fan but they have like a couple lines as a kid and 10 Yr old Kay kicks Edgeworth in the balls. The choice is pretty clear here.

#These were their canon sleeping positions as kids you can't change my mind

Oh absolutely. Nahyuta and Apollo have the same energy as this scene from My Neighbour Totoro (actually baby Yuty and Polly probably have some Satsuki and Mei energy in general just with a smaller age gap)

Thinking abt that time when I was like 12 and a girl in the year above me who I'd never met before came up to me and went 'I like your shoelaces' and I, unknowing of Tumblr culture at this point, just said 'Thank you? I like yours too' and I could visibly see her die of embarrassment lmaooo

Y'all want to know the funniest and best side effect of being on anxiety meds now? Cats fucking love me now. Like, before they would let me give them my hand to sniff but they would usually scamper away past that. Guess they could smell the anxiety and it wasn't good vibes. But nowadays they're so down to cuddle. My aunt's cat laid on my lap for a good 10 minutes the other day. Today I had a random cat cross the garden it was laying in just to nuzzle against me. Genuinely can't recommend this shit enough (for so many reasons, it's been great for me personally)

In the bathroom and cascada every time we touch just came on and the girl in the stall next to me was like oh my god this is my song and started peeing harder
