am i any less of a lesbian if i like trans girls w a dick? i mean they are obviously real women no question just is it ok to like a dick but still be a lesbian?

Trans women are women, and no it doesn't make you any "less" of a lesbian to love having sex with a trans woman. Someone's genitalia shouldn't make you question your queerness. (In the context of this conversation).

Can't comment on Ao3 as a guest but reread your E33 x StP fic tonight and now that I know your Tumblr figured I'd let you know how much I enjoy it as an ask instead.

Love all the interactions (truly felt like it was in line with how E33 characters are kind of mirrors of each other in some form or another. For both their good and bad).

Sciel and Aline's section truly was peak. The grief of a mother who lost a child ahuehfh... Aline grabbing her so her last moments are warm and not alone (thinking about the last time she tried to kill herself, it was cold and lonely in the vast sea and maybe I'm screaming a little inside for Sciel; maybe I'm wondering how Aline feels knowing there's someone who understands her specific grief).

Also delighted in Lune and Clea's parts. Of course the two "on a warpath", fueled-by-anger daughters run into each other and resort to violence until one of them finally gets tired of it. I think you captured how a hypothetical meeting between the two of them would go very well lol (side note: "Now I also find myself helpless at the whim of an enigmatic god and it. Fucking. Sucks." has me cackling still)

Aline with her children aaaaa. Her love winning out when she realizes it's Alicia who's trapped, only to be faced with the consequences of her avoidance from before. She and pVerso saying *adieu* specifically to each other, after she acknowledges that he may not be *that Verso*, but he's still her son. A brick would have been less painful.

Love the imagery in the ending too. Literally pouring her life and love into the Canvas. "Do you love it enough to live for it?" is always the best shit ever. Living for it and bearing the burdens of life is so difficult. And the callbacks to the parts of her that make her an Expeditioner and the parts that make her a Paintress--or Maelle and Alicia--delightful, because you can't separate one from the other anymore. Which, combined with how Sciel points it out earlier that she's running away from "Alicia", hhhhfhf good stuff.

This got longer than I intended but I wanted to gush about it a bit since it's one of my fav E33 fics despite not having played StP before! Tq so much for writing and sharing it!

Awww, thank you so much! T_T I unfortunately have anon comments off because of the bot problem happening on AO3. Not that it always fixes it... perhaps I should just open the floodgates anyhow.

Sciel and Aline was a last-minute addition and I'm SO glad I did because aaaagh. They just. It's such a pity that we never got to see them interact in canon. Thinking about it makes me want to write more of them.

Clea and Lune... I'm definitely thinking of doing more with them, because there's so much we didn't get to see here. Their dynamic has so much potential.

Aline and pVerso... I listened to that piano piece from Your Lie in April while writing it (IYKYK). Don't recommend. I might have cried.

And the last scene. I've been wanting to do a "Alicia replaces her brother's soul in the Canvas" AU ending for awhile, but I had no clue how to get to it before attempting this. And StP's visual themes around body horror gave me an excuse to do it in a much more. Visceral way.

If you get the chance to play StP, you should give it a go! It's such a great narrative game. If you can't play, for whatever reason, the devs have done several livestreams you could go watch instead. Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm happy you enjoyed the fic!

So i read the ask you got about a mortal au and it got me thinking in a mortal au, what job would the seven plus nico and will have as adults in your opinion?

hm, the seven (+ nico & will) with jobs...inch resting

annabeth: the most obvious one, but architect. between designing olympus and going to that school mentioned in cotg, it seems like she's farther along in her career at 17 than i am at 21 (it's fine it's fine)

percy: i think percy would jump job to job, maybe working at a skate shop through college, then an aquarium tour guide, and then ultimately as a social worker. i've seen a lot of sweet headcanons on how he would want to help kids in rough situations that remind him of himself, and i whole-heartedly agree. (in the canon-verse, i also think he'd want to work close to camp, perhaps as a sword instructor part-time during the summer or something)

will: i can't emphasize enough how much i don't interact with will content...i have nothing against the guy lol (other than not being a solangelo fan, though that's not the fault of a fictional character), i just happen to not get into his character. that being said, i'm choosing the boring answer: doctor. specifically, a pediatric doctor, as i think he'd be really good with kids :-)

nico: this guy's unpredictable...either unemployed/Don't Ask Where He Got His Money From, a medium (guy that can commune with the dead, usually for grieving families), a freelance artist (in this economy??), or an english teacher who is every-now-&-then possesed to talk about The Nuances (just like me fr) (and again, in this economy??)

frank: zoologist... or archery coach?? [gunshots]

hazel: archeologist. depending on the mortal au's alteration of The Whole Being Dead Thing + her abilities aside, i think she would take an interest in studying history on site & through the earth

piper: why can i potentially see her as like an influencer lmaoo...but like a normal one, one that makes 45 minute long commentaries on some movie from 2004 that no one remembers, but it's so funny that people can't help but love it. i could also see her dabbling in fashion depending on her stances given the Not Like Other Girls of it all.

leo: again with the obvious, but a mechanic like his mom. i could see him making some new invention that rockets him into fame & fortune, or i could see him maintaining a comfortable living fixing things for his community. i also think he'd feature on piper's youtube channel lmao

jason: nepo baby [gunshots] uhh...this one is difficult. it's hard to say i think in part because richard himself didn't have a future planned for him. i think that he was primed for leadership for so long (whatever that may mean in a mortal au compared to that of canon), that in the event that he steps out of that space, he would feel like a fish out of water. that being said, i'm just thinking about those posts about how his fighting was underutilized in canon. i could see him being like a martial arts instructor, though he would work to approach his instructor role with kindness rather than the brutality of wolves his mortal upbringers

You give off "don't fuck with me" vibes

I know I should have anticipated it but this throws me off 🥺🥺🥺 I really do give off that vibe don't I 😅😅😅

hi came upon this blog and we are meant to be ! you want to be strapped down and I want to strap you down. Everyone’s happy baby!!

You're funny

[signedmissrose]

this isn’t necessarily an ask, but if you were a species of shark, you would be an epaulette shark because they have a unique pattern and that reminds me of you

also they can “walk” on land for short periods of time

Hello lovely,

Thank you so much! I actually have a deep love for sharks, definitely one of my autistic special interests. Thank you so so much for the comparison!
