Thanks for including me! I had to use the word "biscuit" which was admittedly pretty hard for U lol but it was still a lot of fun! I just used WIPs I'm working on rn. This definitely reminded me I have so much to do... ;v;/ I'll keep doing my best! The wips are from a sunren/sunblade/bladeday/renday fic that's super indulgent, my bingyuan vampire au, the double twins au, and my jshk ghost hotel fic. Tagging will be at the end!
“Bladieeee!” Stelle calls, and Sunday has to shut his mouth immediately. He downs his coffee, the scorching heat doing little to temper the ugly hellfire in his chest. Stelle just waves without a care. “Over heeeeere!”
They were the only ones present, so where else would Mr. Blade go?! Oh, but, Sunday was starting to wish that Blade would go elsewhere, because he was in such a horrific, shameful state…!
But no. No. He needed to be proper. He needed to be perfect.
It makes sense why she’s so jaded, Nene thought. Shijima-san’s struggling because of Hanako-kun as well…
It would be easy to hate him. To resent him and despise him for everything, but… She was still having trouble doing just that.
Perhaps because if it were Aoi... I’m willing to go through all of this in the first place for her. If I was pushed even further, I don’t know what I’d make myself do...
Sometimes, it was just the master who visited. After all, he did not know that Luo Binghe could not die and for all his malice, did not wish to test it. He would come by with plates of food, normally scrounged up mushy piles of eggs and tofu. When it came to liquids, it was usually beef broth or different juices, such as apple, prune, or tomato.
The food was largely flavorless. Even eating slop would have felt more dignified, but Luo Binghe ate the mush like any starved dog, and he drank down what he was given. Somehow, the saltiness of the broth or the sweetness of the juices just made the process more offputting and miserable.
These foods… They’re high in iron.
“Come back sometime,” Silver Wolf tells him, and her expression is impossible to read, but the words… “Bladie would like that a lot.”
Sunday nearly gets smacked by the door on his way out. Shamefully, he never responds to that.
“Uwah! You really know how to flatter me, Hajime-kun! I think you’re really cute, too!”
Yeah. Yeah.
Meshi will understand. He’ll be happy that I understand, too, that we don’t need Ultimates. We have each other. I don’t need her or Izuru or Hope’s Peak or—
“Hajime-kun?” Meshi repeats, more worried now. “Are you sure everything’s alright?”
It is not just vampires that are monsters.
“What about you, Gege?” Luo Binghe had to ask, even as he bitterly knew the answer.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Gege hesitated for a moment, and Luo Binghe wondered what it would take, what would be needed, to carve that master from his undead heart. But Gege, ever indulgent, asked a question that brought Binghe a little bit of hope. “Can I at least have your name?”
“Luo Binghe.” Still, he wondered why the other asked. “Why…?”
“It’s just selfishness,” Shen Yuan said quickly, flustered. “Please, do not concern yourself with me anymore, Luo Binghe.”
There had been a story, after all, about a young woman who was dragged to the Underworld by its ruler. How he had tricked her into consuming pomegranate seeds so that she would be bound to that realm.
There had also been a story about a musician who sought his lover in the Underworld... Truth be told, Nene had always wondered how he was able to go on living after failing to rescue said love.
How is this going to end for me? In other stories, there is no happy ending... Even so...
If the hotel could be toppled, if the seal could be broken, if Aoi could be freed...
As for tagging anyone else... It's only if you want to! But I'll go ahead and tag @subarusakurazuka with the word "smile".

Current obsession
This may be a surprise because I just wrote three PHM fics, but I don't actively have a huge obsession lol. Just several slow-simmering topics of interest bouncing around my skull, I guess.

@thelordofgifs tagged me yesterday to share a bit of WIP, and @whatisleftofmybrainworms tagged me likewise last month. Unfortunately, I straight-up have not written anything in like. months. But what I HAVE done is move to a new house! Behold the view from my new bedroom, and Candi settling into her new domain.
Tagging @vesperaevis for actual writing—how did those 100-word bursts go yesterday?
Tagged by @readbythestarlight (who caught me at the perfect time for a short ask meme—apologies to everyone who's tagged me in something recently, The Stars Were Not In Position)!
Last song: “Harvest of Sorrow” by Blind Guardian bc I'm in a Túrin mood today, but I'll also shout out Eivør's new single “Drekafljóð”
Currently watching: The Rose of Versailles and The Vampire Lestat (+ rewatching DS9) by myself; House of the Dragon, IWTV, and Dark Shadows with @widowshill <3 (also get tagged!)
Current obsession: The Elves™ are back on the front burner
Currently reading: The Power Broker by Robert A. Caro (nonfiction, via audiobook) has me by the throat and I'm only on chapter 9. I also cracked open The Children of Húrin this evening bc of the aforementioned Túrin mood. Said mood was brought on by this excellent fic by @tolkienrulez54321 (incidentally, feel free to do this meme if you want!).
Currently working on: I'm neither crafty nor a writer so nothing in particular, but lord knows I should start packing for my upcoming move 😔
Last web search: Gravitation (the manga) bc it was tagged in a goofy post and I remembered Karina Drawfee mentioning it at some point. I haven't read it but since I'm checking out iconic yuri (The Rose of Versailles) maybe I'll check out this iconic yaoi too. OR I could just rewatch Becket (1964).
Thank you @imwritesometimes ! Sorry it took me so long lol
🔹Last song: She’s in Love With The Boy by Trisha Yearwood (yes I listen to country and also it’s a cute song!!)
🔸Currently watching: I haven’t watched an episode in about a week but, Pursuit of Jade (c-drama), and Critical Role
🔹Current obsession: Critical Role and shadowgast pretty much own me rn lol
🔸Currently reading: The Romanov Sisters by Helen Rappaport (non-fiction), debating on my next fiction read (leaning towards rereading the Silmarillion but also my TBR list is so long….)
🔹Currently working on: a 1/4 finished semi-custom amigurumi, a fic I can only hope becomes something, and I’ve got a monster miniature on my desk waiting to be painted.
🔸Last Google search: how to spell amigurumi xD
