Every thousand notes I get on this post I’ll try to come out to one person I know

7,8,15 from WIP ask game!

HIIII Thank you so much for the ask! Sorry it's taken me so long to get to it :p Had to crack open the ol WIP notebook for this one

7. WIP that is my "no one understands him/her/them the way I do"

I have very strong feelings about Kugisaki Nobara. NO ONE GETS HER THE WAY I GET HER (I yell as they drag me back into the psych ward) I really wanted more Kugisaki-centric content in the main jjk storyline so I took it upon myself to plan out a whole extra filler arc for my girl (with some side nobamaki ofc)

The plot: The Kamo clan hosts a tournament every five years (like jujutsu Olympics on steroids) where the winners get to claim a cursed tool from their warehouse. Kugisaki wants to win a pair of cursed gauntlets for Maki for a grand love confession, so she enters the tournament to compete- And she drags itafushi with her too, obviously. There's also some mystery and political intrigue involved. I started the story with the goal of expanding Nobara's fighting style, technique, development and just to write cool battle moments for my girl, but I also ended up using it as an excuse to write pining nobamaki, add more jjk worldbuilding/clan politics, and to give some characterization to background characters (ie: Kyoto Kids!) I also have some very specific ideas about Nobara's personality, inner pathos, technique origin/family history and her relationship with other characters in the series that I NEED to get out into the world. As you can see this really got away from me lol but I do want to write it in full some day!

8. WIP I started because someone else's fic inspired me:

hhjshjkhsjhfk okay two of @uriekukistan's fics have inspired some itafushi ideas for me:

Their fic koi no yokan really sold me on band/bassist/lyricist megumi but also yuuji as a film writer -> lead me to the idea of ex-Child Actor Yuuji making his directorial debut and he gets Megumi who is the front man of a popular band to help him produce the score and they fall in love while making art together :)

They also wrote summer lovin', and I really liked their inclusion of yuuji being a line cook/being passionate about cooking SO -> Sitcom style Restaurant AU where Megumi is a perpetually pissed-off waiter and Yuuji is a line cook who always gives Megumi free food and is the one reason Megumi hasn't quit yet. Rest of the cast is there too and everyone gets up to weird shit together.

OH also @kentuckyfriedmegumi has a really good fic Hot Off the Press that features journalist Megumi and Athlete/trainer Yuuji and that really encouraged me to flesh out a similar WIP I had -> Photojournalist Megumi who works at his school's failing newspaper and College Baseball Recruit Yuuji who's team has a bad reputation so they strike a deal to get both of their extracurriculars off the ground and (you guessed it) they fall for each other in the process. There's a mystery involved in this one as well what can I say I love a good mystery :)

(ALL THREE OF THOSE FICS ARE AMAZING GO READ THEM RN)

15. WIP that is just all my favorite tropes bound together with the power of love

ANOTHER ITAFUSHI ONE! Okay I LOVE anything that has Megumi's shikigami's interacting with Yuuji but none of the fics have enough content for me (or only focus on the dogs/bunnies) SO I want to write a multi-chap fic that is just Yuuji befriending all of Megumi's shikigami and pining HARD in the process. I adore all of Megumi's shikigami, especially the creepier ones like Nue and the snake. Also going to use it as a chance to find some creative uses for The 10S technique because it's so cool and I want to show Megumi being clever with the way he uses it. Lots of mutual pining, feelings denial/development/realization, slight miscomm, hurt/comfort, healthy heartache and Itafushi spending quality time together :)

I just noticed that allura's color scheme is the same colors of the trans flag. Coincidence?

[rocket-amongst-the-stars]

The fact that so many people consider Jax trans is making me feel less insane

Goddamit I wanna cry because I just realized Rocky will never see grace like grace sees rocky

maturing is realizing it doesn’t get worse and it doesn’t get better you just get old and it lasts forever

I’m just saying there is very little left of me and like it’s never coming back. Yeah there will be certain things you’ll ask of me and there’ll be certain things I lack. It’s just like in the beginning we were winning but now I’m just making up facts if you even care
