When This Broke And Healed You At The Same Time

hey, i read your rec list and fell in love with dust in your pocket. do you know any other fics like it?

by ‘other fics like it’ i’m going to assume you mean femslash tomarry fics, not vaguely steampunk tomarry aus (which would also be incredibly valid.) however, i will grab at any excuse to talk about fem tomarry

femslash tomarry/harrymort recs

at first and fierce affirming sight by @being-luminous is probably my favorite on this list. it’s a one-shot featuring Giant Immortal Snake Queen Tom Riddle and Tiny And Incredibly Smitten Harry Potter: Life Companions. i just adore tom’s characterization in this one

til death do us part (i know that you are mine) by @artsy-death is a short, smutty one-shot featuring a master of death, universe-hopping harry who harbors a minor obsession with tom riddle (across most universes) and of course a deliciously possessive and sadistic tom to top it off.

if you like dark themed tomarry, tag, you’re it by @whotooklortan is perfect. obsessive tom, kidnapped harry, and a wonderful case of stockholm syndrome. i personally like my toms as sociopathic as possible, and i adore this fic

for the well loved Tomarry As Academic Rivals That Also Occasionally Have Hate-Sex trope i offer you favourite pastime by @hookedonthesky

and finally, wolf_of_lilacs has written a ton of great fem tomarry/harrymort fics. here is the link to their collection

go forth and read fanfiction !

ah yes, trying a new way to render with skk

Apparently asshole cannot be removed from anywhere

Greek Mythology: Unfortunately, Zeus was horny.

Norse Mythology: Unfortunately, Loki was bored.

Egyptian Mythology: Unfortunately, Set was envious.

Japanese Mythology: Unfortunately, Susanoo was rude.

I should just post all of the pages in one, but I mostly use this acc. to archive my works anyways. Best to make sure that no fanwork becomes a corrupt file (⭑•͈ 𓎟 •͈ )

Also, enjoy.

Ladies, gentle men, and everything in between I present to you yet another idea born from the depths of my mind an extremely tiring day. This one has been bouncing around my poor head for a little over a week and at long last I know how to word it in a way that makes sense. Hopefully.

So we all know that Dazai doesn't particularly like dogs. Some people think it is do to some kind of trauma. I am not one of those people. Not everything to do with a person or character is linked to a past experience sometimes that's just how they are. Personally I don't think Dazai has any experience with a dog that traumatized and made him hate them. I just think he has never liked them.

Now sometimes people who don't like dogs will accidentally and to their shock come across a dog that completely steals their heart and they absolutely love. They won't like any other dog. They aren't suddenly a dog person but they would gladly kill for that one specific dog. This idea stems from that.

I'm thinking this would most likely happen a few weeks to about 2-3 months after Dazai leaves the Port Mafia. So he's alone and in hiding. One day he goes out for groceries, because food and bandages, and there's this group of kids in an ally, they're maybe a year or two younger than Dazai would be at the time, and are surrounded a small creature. Dazai doesn't think much off it till he hears whining from the animals followed by what sounds like someone intentionally harming it.

Dazai, against his better judgment, decided to get involved. He scares these kids off and finds a small red nosed pitbull puppy that is a few months old. She is easily less than a year old. She's banged up but not hurt so bad that he need to take her to the vet. Once more against his better judgement he brings this puppy back to where ever he is staying at the time. He plans to only keep her around till she is finished healing then take her to an animal shelter.

It takes him less than a week to decide to keep the puppy. He then proceeds to name her Ember. Ember becomes the only exception to his hatred for dogs. Fat forward to him joining the agency and Ember now has separation anxiety because he barely left her alone for the last two years. He bring Ember with him to the agency every day. Ember, being the sweetheart she is, learns rather quickly how to do things that protect Dazai while in the field.

Throughout the time he is with Ember he starts to do better mental at least marginally because she is reliant on him being alive to survive and he doesn't want his puppy to die. Essentially Ember is his unofficial emotional support animal.

Due to that him meeting Atsushi would probably go different. Possibly him walking Ember or something like that.

Later on when he reunites with Chuuya officially during the Guild arc he naturally brought Ember and that would be the first time Chuuya meets her. Ember instantly loves him which is good because Chuuya also adores her.

Dazai uses that as an excuse to spend time with Chuuya because "Obviously I can't deprive my sweet Ember of time with her second favorite person". Somewhere along the line they start unofficially dating and about a week after dead apple would have taken place they make things official and Dazai moves into Chuuya's place.

Ember is very happy with that development because that means more time with her favorite humans.

Also Ember has a wonky ear due to what happened when Dazai found her. It's nothing bad it's just wonky and makes her look like an adorable little dork.

This got long so it’s become its own post.

I explained this to my seven-year-old cousin once when she expressed distaste over anyone possibly enjoying horror movies, and she understood perfectly, so adults have no excuse: 

People read dark fiction for the same reason they ride roller coasters. 

It’s a simulation of danger without anyone actually being under threat. It gets the brain worked up, releases a bunch of adrenaline into your system, you experience a whole rush of emotions and excitement and fear; but a safe kind of fear, where you know the danger isn’t real and there are dozens of measures in place to protect you. And then it’s over and you can get off the ride.

That doesn’t mean everyone is obligated to ride roller coasters. I, for example, am scared of heights, and most coasters are scary for me in a way that isn’t fun. The fear isn’t that I’ll die, the fear is of experiencing more of the ride and thus it’s not a safe fear, because it’s real and I have no control over it. As such, I don’t ride large roller coasters. But the fact that large coasters are not mentally or emotionally safe for me to ride doesn’t mean they should be illegal, or that there’s “something wrong” with anyone who enjoys them.

Similarly, sometimes accidents happen. Sometimes people have conditions they don’t know about until a coaster aggravates them in the worst possible way because they didn’t know to avoid it…and that’s no one’s fault. People have died or been injured in coaster accidents, and those accidents are pretty much always the result of human error, carelessness, laziness, or poor communication. It’s the responsibility of the amusement park to make sure that basic safety features are built-in and maintained–or at the very least (mangling the metaphor somewhat because this would obviously be illegal in real life) to make it clear that those features don’t exist! I feel like most people would avoid a ride clearly labelled “HAS NEVER HAD A SAFETY INSPECTION! NO RESTRAINT BARS! RIDE STAFF HAVE NOT BEEN TRAINED AND THERE ARE NO EMERGENCY SERVICES ON-SITE! OPEN FLAMES!” but if you click on a fic clearly labelled “author chose not to use warnings” you know the risks and they’ve met their obligation to warn you of them. And sometimes the people providing this content don’t perform that basic due diligence, and people get hurt as a result–but that’s on those specific bad actors, and doesn’t mean we ban all roller coasters. It also doesn’t mean every single ride operator on earth should be tarred with that brush, especially when they’ve openly spoken out against such practices! Furthermore, if you KNOW you have a heart condition and willingly get on a ride that says it is not safe for people with heart conditions, you cannot then blame the amusement park!

What makes roller coasters safe for me? Well, for one, the fact that I’m an adult now so my family has finally stopped trying to force me onto them. Pressure was a constant part of interacting with coasters for me for YEARS, and THAT fucked me up. There was “mild” teasing, frustration when I refused, anger if I changed my mind, and a lot of guilt-tripping about how it was my fault that they couldn’t go on the rides they wanted to because of me. That shit was not okay, and anyone trying to force someone to engage with content they don’t want to is obviously in the wrong.

The OTHER thing that helps me is content warnings the heroes who upload on-ride video of coasters I’m interested in trying. Knowing exactly what to expect–being able to see for myself all the drops so I can judge if they’ll be too much for me, and know in advance where they are so I can brace myself–can turn a ride that otherwise would have been a miserable and stressful experience that I chose not to subject myself to into a really good time. These are especially valuable, because what’s safe for ME is not automatically safe for everyone else. The only thing that makes a ride too much for me–my only hard limit–is extremely tall drops. I love inversions, fast twists and turns, I don’t mind rough coasters, it’s just drop height. But I’ve known people with medical conditions that made rough jolts dangerous, and plenty of people like tall drops but find tight turns and high speed overwhelming. Do I wish more coasters were designed to have the elements I enjoy without the ones I don’t? Yes, and not being able to find many frustrates me. But that doesn’t mean I expect everyone to have the same limits, or that I think people who design tall coasters with big drops and lots of airtime are malicious.

By this logic, actually, darkfic is much safer than roller coasters–once you’ve committed to a coaster you have to ride it out even if you change your mind. But the moment a dark fic or horror movie takes a turn you don’t like or becomes suddenly too real, you can turn it off and walk away.

And if you think enjoying roller coasters means someone will conclude that it’s okay to fling people off cliffs without their consent, then, well, in that case you’re just ungodly fucking stupid. Sorry you had to find out this way.

Have fun on those hypercoasters, you crazy bastards. Keep uploading ride videos for me.

coloring is hard. I just want to yeet it away!

btw, this is for days 5 & 6 of Damenfest.

Currently, I am trying to figure out how to color hair but even after, somewhat, finishing this piece, I still have no clue how haha.

The blood never truly washes off. By this time, Voldemort had stopped trying.
