kiss? 👀😘💖

AIGHT. From the fic at the top of my WIP pile

"He could think of many, many places to kiss on your body that would elicit the same reaction, the many things outside of your imagination that he'd revel in doing to you."

I'm Writing Again

I want to say thank you right off the bat to the people who reached out (either through DM or comments on my post) about my TDK stories - it's been genuinely lovely to hear from you. 💖

After literal years of writer's block, I'm happy to say I'm writing again! I thought I'd mention it here, just in case there's interest in keeping up with my writing even if it's for a different fandom now.

I’m currently writing a modern Jujutsu Kaisen AU with Japanese folklore, Gothic horror, and dark romance themes/vibes. It doesn't require in-depth canon knowledge at all - you might miss some references, but that's it. I’ll be posting about it (writing notes, moodboards, excerpts, etc.) on my side blog, Night_After_Rain, here.

Then you might like what I'm working on!

My fic is here, for the curious and interested: AO3: Cleave (4/20~ chapters posted, ongoing)

Below the cut is my fic summary, a moodboard, and excerpt from chapter 3, if you want to check that out instead.

Otherwise — hello and thank you again. I've missed doing this. 💖

Summary: Amaya Kitagawa learns too late that one should never make a promise to a god.

Edit for image credits, top to left and right (links go to twitter, fyi): @a2BBy8EHgh1, @acyantree, could not find og link, but this is the artist signature line:

It’s dusk. The sky’s clear and endless. Distant cicadas hum in the summer heat. Amaya is lying down in a familiar clearing, tall green grass dancing above her head. The earth is cool and damp under her fingers, the sun’s warmth slowly fading as it sinks towards the horizon. Cedar, fresh-cut and close, light in her lungs. Water rushes over river rocks, babbling as it follows the winding slope down the hillside. Dragonfly wings hum, unhurried. She closes her eyes. 

This is what Amaya hopes death will feel like—stillness without tomorrow, where the hollow in her chest is calm water instead of ache. When having a body no longer matters. 

Amaya enjoys the stillness until there’s a shift—an increase in pressure, like the air itself is now leaning towards her. The cicadas sound further away, the river’s flow more muted and dull. The hair on the back of her neck stands on end. 

She sits up. At first, she’s alone in the clearing, close to the riverbank. A cluster of boulders rests on the other side of the river, separating the clearing from the dense forest and surrounded by red spider lilies she doesn’t remember. Upstream lies her hometown, the rooftops of the local shokudo restaurant and convenience store barely visible. Five minutes from here is her family’s house. This is a place she knows well; her favourite spot to hide and imagine a different world, a different life. 

She blinks and is no longer alone. A man is across the narrow river, sitting cross-legged on the largest boulder. His head is propped up on a closed fist, posture leisurely. He’s staring downstream, watching the water flow with a bored expression. His white kimono is bright even under the setting sun, his hair matching the warm pink of dusk. Amaya rubs her eyes, but his shape remains faintly undefined in the way the halo of a lit paper lantern softens and blurs its edges. She can’t make out his features clearly. 

“Oh, um—hello. I don’t think we’ve met before,” Amaya says before she can stop herself. 

He regards Amaya slowly, eyes appraising but his expression otherwise unchanged. The air changes when their eyes meet, dense and settling over Amaya’s shoulders like hands resting there, waiting. 

“If you like,” he says after a pause. 

Amaya is surprised at the sound of his voice, the low timbre of it, its odd resonating quality. She isn’t sure what to make of him, or why her vision hasn’t fully cleared. She feels a pull, something that keeps dragging her eyes back to him when she tries to look away. 

He looks traditional to Amaya, at first—kimono, geometric-patterned obi, water-like fabric—but his clothes don’t seem to match. The sleeves are long and loose, trousers a strange pairing with the kimono—not hakama like she’s ever seen it—and his black scarf doesn’t belong, either, too modern for the rest. 

“It’s nice here, isn’t it?” Amaya finds herself smiling at him. She’s never had someone to enjoy the clearing with before. An odd feeling builds in her chest, almost like a child eager at the prospect of making their first friend. “It’s my favourite place. The water’s just too deep and cold to play in, and the crayfish are all downstream, so no one likes coming this way. This time of year is the best, too.” 

The man’s features become more distinct. She doesn’t think she’s seen anyone like him before. 

I wonder if he’s new here? Pretty old-fashioned with that kimono, even for the countryside. 

“So,” he speaks slowly, eyes narrowing, “you can see me.” 

The man’s expression finally changes from boredom to something close to interest. 

“Unexpected.”

“Of course, I can,” she laughs. “I don’t think I know you, do I?” She tries asking again, her smile encouraging. 

“That’s unlikely.” 

He offers nothing else. Amaya sits up straighter, ignoring how the pressure intensifies as his attention focuses on her, how it makes his outline sharper. She can make out more details now—faint shadows along his jaw and cheeks like a tiger’s stripes, the deep red irises of his eyes burning with a cold heat.

There’s something about him Amaya has trouble naming. The sensation of the hair standing on the back of her neck hasn’t gone away. She feels compelled to look at him, can’t shake the instinct she’s felt echoes of this pressure somewhere else. 

“I’m Amaya Kitagawa. What’s your name?” 

The man pauses again for a long moment. 

“Tell me, Amaya—“ her name hits like a splash of cold water to her face, and he smiles in a way that doesn’t reach his eyes, “—do you always accept strange things that appear in front of you?” 

He drops his arm down to fully rest on top of his thigh. He’s still slouched, at ease as his smile widens, the sharp canines just visible.

Amaya falters for a moment. The casual familiarity of using her first name, the insertion of something that pushes against the boundary of reality—it forms a crack at the back of her head. She rubs the base of her skull, worried it might break. 

“I’m not…sure what you mean?”

“You can see me clearly,” he says. “That usually doesn’t happen.” 

The boundary cracks a little more. It hurts. 

“This is just a dream.” Her laugh is forced this time, some unseen hold constricting around her ribs. 

Wait, is this a dream? It has to be, right? 

Unease builds within her as the pressure bears down. Her eyes grow heavy. 

The ambient sounds surge back all at once as the man watches her, gaze and smile unwavering. Amaya can barely hear him when he says, “We’ll see.”

@ladyoftheseastuff

Hi sweet lady💖💖 How are you? I hope you're doing alright, dear💕 I was going to send these as asks, but I didn't want to overflow your inbox with 10 obnoxious asks. I'd feel bad for having you try to sort through all of those. You already work so hard🥺 By the way, I hope this is okay.

I had finally got around to reading Incantare (took me too long, I know I'm sorry😭) and I just have to tell you that I am absolutely HOOKED! Everything I have to express at the moment is under the cut!!

I had the weekend to sit down and take my time with it as I didn't want to rush through. While reading, it felt as if I was watching a well produced network series, only better. Like a hundred times better! Transitioning from one chapter to the next was much like starting a new episode. Anticipating on what's going to happen next? Except it's like I'm not even reading it, rather I get sucked in. Into the setting, I can clearly visualize everything that's happening, feel every emotion and I just, I- how do you do it?? oml you are so talented😭

The characters! You put so much thought and effort into them, it shows. And please, feel free to correct me on anything if I'm wrong but-

Lena- My heart aches for her.. poor sweet angel. I have the strong need to give her a hug. She deserves so much better. It hurts that she wants better and feels guilty thinking about it sometimes💔 Oh my, and despite everything, she's so kind with such a huge heart. Worrying about others, wanting everyone to be happy. I admire her strong love for photography and how passionate she is about it. The one true thing she has that would never let her down, never hurt her. Her escape, in a way. P.S. I would chew out ANYONE that makes fun of her body and eyebrows!

Rose- She seems like she's on a very good track in school, focused on her future. Knows what she wants for herself and extremely determined to achieve those goals. I find that great. I'm not quite sure how I feel about her yet. Seeing how close friends her and Lena are, how much they care for each other, there are certain things Rose does that make me question that sometimes. But I'm not one to quickly jump to conclusions, so looks like we'll have to wait and see where you take them.

Jack- (oh boy, here we go) Where do I even begin with him? Damn, what an asshole. Well that's a start. Although he's an asshole, he's very interesting and I have loads of questions about him. It was really fascinating when you wrote from his perspective. Granting us with a glimpse of what's going through his mind at the time being. You do an amazing job at dipping into and capturing his morbid and confusing thoughts! He's definitely not a good person, far from(lol), but he's not the absolute worst kind of human being. I'm referring to certain boundaries he chooses not to cross. And then there are the little extra things he does just for Lena that make me go awee. But then you know he has these hidden motives, so then it's just a total mind-fuck (excuse my language) with him. Can't wait to find out more about him!

I really appreciate the diversity of the characters in your series. Main characters and even just the background characters in general. Thank you, it's not something I commonly see or read a lot in fanfiction and I found it very endearing.

Ahh, there were some parts where I would internally(once out loud- whoops) scream I KNEW IT! Not because your story is predictable, no. Not even close to that. But because I had an itch, an inkling, that something was wrong or off. Come to find out later on that what I had thought, turned out to be true! There's actually one specific incident in chapter 3 this heavily applies to.

Ah geez, I can go on and on about your series.. but I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't had the chance to read it yet. Though I am just super tempted to continue rambling on.. You have master skills and your writing is absolutely phenomenal!! I very much look forward to reading the next installments😌💕

I do apologize, I don't have a username/account on AO3. Which is why I wrote it all here. I might make one, I'm not sure yet. But as for now, I will definitely send you asks with questions I might have and comments expressing how much I love your work❤

[jasminau]

🌺🌼🌷Send this to 10 other bloggers you think are awesome 🌺🌷❤️ 🥰 thank you for being such a great and steadfast friend, I appreciate the absolute hell out of you! 😭💖

[jasminau]

m, n, p, r, s! 💖

thank you sm for sending me this ask, Jen <3

M - If I forgive betrayal.

oo ok it honestly depends, but usually i don’t. the only time i’ve rly forgiven someone is if i’m rly close w them and the apology matched what happened. but other things are unforgivable so theres that lol!

N - If you want to know how I treat my friends.

my friends literally mean the world to me, and it takes me a while to get close with ppl bc of issues but i try to make them as happy as i can. and most of the times its their needs over mine, which i gotta work on just for my sake lmao

P - What kind of music I like.

lord ok so i like psychedelic, indie, popular.. honestly just anything tbh just as long as it has a good beat or sick electric guitar 

R - For me to tell 10 of my curiosities.

this just means odd little details about me, right?? who knows lol!

i have a bow and arrow bc i wanted to be Katniss Everdeen when i was like 12, one day my cousin was playing w it and i ran in front of the target bc i didnt even realise and i nearly got shot in the leg w the arrow asghdfgshfg

i can’t eat stuff that has like a slimey texture, or specific noodles idek why

i cannot stand minimalist aesthetics lmao, like give us some flavour, put some patterns everywhere

i feel like my personality is always changing bc every time i get a new favourite character my brain is like oh we must be that now lol, but thats also probably to do w my personality disorder ajhdsfgd

i become obsessive pretty quickly and i go in deeeppp. ive been obsessed w ledger joker since november now and i started writing fics and i think about him constantly, its a whole mess but its fun lmao

the first time i was taken to a psychiatrist was when i was maybe 11 bc one time all i would do is come home from school and go straight to bed to daydream asdhfdg like granted i have problems but back then i was truly just doing it bc it was fun

this one is also weird but i love watching pimple popping videos on youtube lol

i got my dogs when i was probably at my worst mentally so they know when i’m not doing well and they come over and lie on my lap its so freaking cute

ever since i read percy jackson when i was 14, ive been in love w greek mythology (yes im that kind of person lmao)

english was my favourite class bc i genuinely enjoyed writing essays and ‘deep diving’ on all the hidden meanings and metaphors in books/movies

S - 2 habits.

i pick my nails and the skin around the nail bed constantly, so its truly no surprise whenever they start bleeding

i’m alwayyysss daydreaming, i can’t stop i swear lmao

[jasminau]
