about me ❀ | rules+byf | navi | sneak peaks (coming soon!) 🌸

multifandom blog: daiya no ace | hq | demon slayer | jjba | various video games

reading: A Game of Thrones (George R. R. Martin)(still)

watching: nothing yet <3

playing: FFXVI - Final Fantasy 16

drinking: iced tea (southern style) 💙

beta-ing for: no one at the moment <3

scenario:

you have a single vial between you and your f/o. one of you has to drink it.

in the vial is a potent aphrodisiac but also has a curse associated with it. the curse requires a few things:

  1. for the next 30 days, the drinker (cursed person) will need to find a suitor for every day to sleep with, or they will die.
  2. if the person the cursed person sleeps with develops any romantic feelings with them beyond fleeting lust or desire in the moment, that person will die, but you or your f/o (whoever is cursed) will live (granted that you don't break any of the other rules).
  3. if the two of you (you and your f/o) sleep together, you will both die.
  4. successful "sleeping together" involves the cursed person going to orgasm, however that may happen.
  5. if neither of you drink, you will die in three months (as expected from me!).

you may choose to take a chaser with this potion, with the following properties:

chaser 1: whoever takes this chaser will forget every sexual encounter they have within an hour of having it but they'll also forget every sexual encounter they have with you for the first ten times you're intimate

chaser 2: you or your f/o may supervise the "cursed" person and even join in on encounters, but if you do, that person will definitely die.

chaser 3: instead of 30 encounters, it's only 15, but it has to be with the ship you hate the most, you have to watch (but cannot participate), and nobody dies even if they catch feelings.

please give your reasons and what f/o you're picking!

I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.

Know what they want, What they're scared of What/who they love What/who they're willing to sacrifice

Also their breaking point, what shit do they have to be dragged through before they give up everything just for it to stop. And if they regret it or not,

Start with something you do understand about them and branch off from there. Personally, I find it easier to write for characters that have some aspect of my personality, amplified and then manipulated into something new or different. Or maybe we share some aspect of childhood. We don't have to be the same people, but my experiences are something I can understand and use to shape new people.

Knowing your characters’ limits and how to exploit them is essential for creating tension, and for writing excellent fight scenes/final battles.

Under what odds is your character able to win? What is their greatest strength?

Now take that strength away.

How do they account for that? Is it possible to still win, or is that strength all they have?

An acrobatic fighter who is shot through the leg. A knight whose trusty sword shatters. A sorceror who runs out of spells and elixers. A dragonrider whose steed is felled.

Find the limit and push past it! That’s how to raise the stakes!

Hi! Is Haikyuu your favorite sports anime? :3

Haikyuu is one of those things that will forever be near and dear to my heart 🧡 it was actually my first sports anime, and it led me to AO3, then to Tumblr, and then to some of the greatest people i've been blessed to know ;w; forgive the sappy response, but i feel like that alone has placed it in a realm that's all on it's own for me! separate from the others, you know?

a close second, however, would be Ace of the Diamond, or Daiya no Ace. *that* is also a damn good show! if you enjoyed Haikyuu, you'll enjoy Daiya (and maybe even more so)!

i took a deep dive into ancient east, southern, and western Asian imperial structures, specifically surrounding harems and concubines because i initially wanted to write a short "lesbians in the palace" thing for funsies. then i got sucked into the intricacies of the imperial Qing dynasty's imperial harem.

then Ix aggressively shook me through the screen and shoved me towards Apothecary Diaries (it's been on my radar for a good while!) and now I'm four episodes in and completely enamoured.
