Happy Birthday Ela!!!

thanks 💖💖💖💖💖💖

you guys are so sweet 🥺

[majjiktricks]

Metal Gear!!

YIPPEEE TY FOR SENDING IT IN

Favorite character:

kazuhira miller my beloved

Least Favorite character:

oh man. i think most of the characters are pretty cool, or im at least neutral on. hm. even the awful evil villains i find really interesting. i guess i can collectively say the b&b corps? i thought they were just boring, overdramatic fanservice.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):

❤️vkaz❤️ (venom snake/kaz miller)

otasune (solid snake/otacon)

solimiller (solid snake/kaz miller)

strangeboss (dr strangelove/the boss)

the insane mess that is bbvocelhira (big boss/venom snake/ocelot/kaz miller)

Character I find most attractive:

KAZ MILLER 😳 fucking. gender goals.

Character I would marry:

venom snake. or solid snake. both prime husband material ❤️

Character I would be best friends with:

otacon or mei-ling. i think we would get along very well :3 two very big nerds and also probably two of the sanest ppl in the series 😂

A random thought:

if you like mgs youll probably like no more heroes. begging more people to play them.

An unpopular opinion:

im not even sure this is an unpopular opinion but. i dont give a shit about the good queer rep/bad queer rep arguments. its a 30+ year old series with the majority of the games coming out before 2010. none of these characters are gonna be handled well. i still think the canon/subtextually queer characters are really interesting, even if they fall prey to stereotypes or the whole "queer-coded villain" thing (or in the case of metal gear where a not insignificant amount of the villains are explicitly queer)

or the ppl who get upset that ocelot HAS to be gay. why do you care. if someone wants to make him bi, let them. it doesnt hurt you. hes still queer either way.

My canon OTP:

i would argue otasune is basically canon. they adopted a daughter together.

if thats not good enough, then bbkaz 👍 awful awful couple and theyre so funny about it. they even had sex under a box on the beach.

Non-canon OTP:

vkaz. insane premise for a ship and i love it so much. what if i thought you were my lost love and you look and sound and act just like him but when i realize ive been tricked i vow to kill him (not you, just him). i love him and therefore i love you (i do.), i hate him and therefore i hate you (do i?).

Most badass character:

jetstream sam. guy does all that with no cybernetic enhancements (aside from the one arm he had to have replaced). (he wears a sort of power suit instead, whereas all his teammates are full on insane robot bodies. underneath his suit is mostly flesh and bone.)

Pairing I am not a fan of:

rairose. i just dont get it.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):

ROSE AND NAOMI AND MERYL. they really dont know how to handle women 😭

Favourite friendship:

SUNNY AND RAIDEN 🥺🥺🥺

also raiden and blade wolf. very funny banter.

if the formatting is fucked up. im on mobile rn im sorry 💔

B5 Ryunosuke Waves

a beloved little man

25, 17, 4

25. Can you share one to five favourites of the works you made last year?

The Dragon Prince (literally the most ambitious creative project I've ever done) This is Not My Beautiful House (Susato horror fic that I'm really proud of) Hold Them Close (asoryuu family fic where I finally introduced the world to my fankids) this asoryuu painting (monster cuddles <3 that's all I have to say about it) and this Ryuunosuke pic (I really like the colors and all the sparkles also drawing sexy Ryuu is fun)

17. What is the biggest creative hurdle you had to overcome last year? What helped you through it?

oh my god the last few chapters of tdp for sure. good lord they were so fucking difficult to get through but I think what helped me finally figure them out was actually talking through what I planned/wanted to do with someone else

4. Which wips are you taking into the new year?

so I super recently picked up a faerie court au for dgs again but I also have a postcanon fic that I don't quite want to give up on, an epilogue for tdp, and a few different art ideas that I'd like to get to

Trick or Treat!

Ooo, sorry bud! You get a trick! 👻

[aawlwminibang]

Today we would like to spotlight another mod, @thelocalmuffin! They have been passionate about helping fandoms create more sapphic content for a long time. Ellory has created multiple events surrounding sapphic content and they're delighted to help with another one!

We are still running our interest check to 10/22! If you'd like to take it, we'd love to hear your thoughts here.

16?

16 -you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

I've done this for DGS and TGAA so you're getting a general one - characters being completely ooc for a ship. I really encourage ppl to get more into rare pairs and making OCs because at a certain point that is what you're doing.

asoryuu 18 or 23 for the kiss ask?

I went with 23: In Relief from this list!

Have some forbidden hospital scene via our neo-noir au

CW: mentions of injury

Did this hospital room really need to have a clock in it?

Did its blank, white face and incessant ticking serve any other purpose than driving patients and visitors completely fucking insane?

It really wasn’t necessary. It could be a digital clock or one with more quiet gears that didn’t echo through a too-silent room or it could just not be there at all. Most people had their phones on them all the time anyway. There was no need to check a wall clock for the time.

Kazuma wanted to break it.

He’d been nothing but terrified for the past couple of days, he was still scared, but he wanted to break something. He wanted to rip the clock off the wall and smash it into the ground; he wanted to shatter its glass face with his foot and tear out its mechanical insides with his bare hands.

But if he did that then he would get kicked out, and the worst possible thing he could do was get himself kicked out of this room.

Kazuma glanced back at Ryuunosuke’s passive, sleeping face. He looked… fine.

He would be fine, the doctors had told him after he practically begged on his knees for them to let him see his love even if he wasn’t family. Mikotoba, the one who found Ryuunosuke, told him he was lucky; that if he had gotten to him any later then they likely wouldn’t have been able to save him. Even being told this, Kazuma still sobbed in relief when he saw Ryuunosuke lying peacefully in his hospital bed.

He tightened his grip on his partner’s hand and tried to chase away the image of him bleeding out on his office floor with a bullet in his stomach. He wished he would wake up so he could stop either replaying that horrible moment in his mind or staring at that fucking clock.

Hours or maybe only minutes ticked by, but it felt like an eternity before Kazuma finally heard Ryuunosuke groan and felt his hand tighten in his.

“Kazuma,” Ryuunosuke murmured as he groggily focused on him, “you’re here…”

“Of course I am,” he responded just as quietly even as he struggled through his tears and the thickness in his throat, “I promised you that I wouldn’t leave you ever again. I thought I lost you…”

“Hey, shh, I’m alright. It’s okay.”

Ryuunosuke winced as he tried to sit up so Kazuma quickly moved to help him, adjusting his pillows and ensuring that he didn’t overexert himself.

Once he was comfortable, Ryuunosuke spoke again, reaching out and lightly tracing his fingers over the bruises around Kazuma’s eye and the cut on his lip, “What happened after I passed out? Are you alright? What happened to your face?”

“It’s… It’s nothing you need to worry about. I’m fine. I got the evidence we needed.”

“You did?!”

“Yeah, I’ve already taken care of it. That detective friend of yours said it was enough for her to make sure that bastard will be rotting in prison for the rest of his life.”

A heart-stopping grin lit up Ryuunosuke’s face and he wrapped his arms around Kazuma’s neck, pulling him in for a kiss.

“Ow!” The kiss stung against his split lip, but he didn’t actually care, not with Ryuunosuke here, safe and happy.

“Sorry, sorry.” He pulled back a little but kept his hands on Kazuma’s neck. “I’m just so relieved it’s over. You’re safe now. We can finally get back to our lives a-and have a family,” he stuttered and looked away like he was still unsure about that.

Kazuma just smiled, pressed his forehead against Ryuunosuke’s, and whispered back, “Yeah, we can.”
