This changed me

I’ve read/ am reading fic that are upwards to 150,000 – 200,000. You’re telling me that authors that write for fun are writing a full-length book for the fun of it? They have earned my respect 10 fold.

A friendly reminder.

Adding on to this by reminding everyone to leave feedback on fics. Seriously, y’all, fic writers put their heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears, and time into their writing. The least that you could do is let them know you enjoyed their works. 

Reblogging this for a comparison (・_・ヾ My estimate for the Sub Au fic is 600,000 words. Minimum. This thing is a monstrosity, and is probably going to take me ages to write. So, um, yeah. Feedback on it is very very encouraging. 

I was wondering with the Child AU, how would Kanato react once he grew close to the reader and she gave him a stuffed animal? Would he treasure it like Teddy? Would he carry the new stuffed animal around more than Teddy? Would he snuggle it if reader had to leave for a while and couldn’t take him? How would his brothers react? (sorry if its long, but this has been on my mind awhile now.)

(⌒▽⌒)☆

-Considering that Kanato has been horribly neglected for the majority of his lifetime, a present from someone who genuinely cares about him is staggering. Cordelia only gave him Teddy as something that she had to use for, and having something given to him that wasn’t just thrown away because you didn’t want it would be, in all honesty, the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him. 

-He would absolutely keep that stuffed animal with him at all times. While he’ll always love Teddy, there’s something extra special about a toy that was given to him by someone who actually cares. There’s a chance he’ll stick to just carrying the one from you, but it’s equally likely that he’ll take turns with both of them. The one you gave him reminds him of you enough that snuggling it while you’re gone is almost guaranteed, since it makes him feel a little less alone.

-As for how his brothers would react, well, Kanato having a stuffed toy with him at all times is definitely nothing unusual, and that part wouldn’t get much of a reaction. However, the fact that the toy is from you makes a much bigger difference. Since the rest of them are similar degrees of neglected, the idea of a gift meant just for them is hard to imagine. (Yes, they’re at least a little bit jealous.)

When you wanna support but are deathly afraid of dolls

It’s okay, anon!!! I appreciate the thought 😀 The dolls I have for sale are mostly Barbies, though. They’re very cute and very very non-frightening! One who will be listed soon has the FLOOFIEST hair, a super sweet face, and a bow permanently attached to her head. She’s precious. I’ll put a picture of her under the cut in case you really don’t want to see it, but I swear she’s adorable.

She still needs an outfit before I can put her up for sale, and what I’m planning to make is a very fluffy floral dress! 😀

So

I’m moving in like 2 weeks

And I have a lot of dolls up for sale. 

If anyone could buy even one, just getting them out of the house so I don’t have to worry about what to do with them would be great. My Etsy is here, and I have super cute vintage Barbies for as cheap as $10 USD, and one of a kind reroots for as cheap as $15. I have three more dolls that I’ll be listing soon, and that makes 11 that could hopefully get sold! 

I’d be super super grateful if anyone can give one a home!! The less I have to worry about while I’m moving, the better, and a custom doll made by me might be a pretty cool thing to have, right? 😀

I used the word husbando jokingly like you would use waifu or so, the meaner is closer to “best boy” than to real life husband~~ sorry if there were any misunderstandings! I guess both Komaeda and Alois are similar to the diaboys because they’re young but very broken and lonely already, maybe you feel that kind of caregiver, motherly instinct you get with the boys as well? :3

I feel like “husbando” is one of those words that can mean different things to different people, maybe? 😀 I get what you’re saying though!! And yep… I do indeed have a type >3> I just want to mother all the “broken and lonely” characters

An Announcement

Notice how there’s no “Admin Mawile” tag this time? Yep, Skitty has officially left the blog. Considering that she’s been too busy to post here for over a year, we both decided it was time for her to leave the blog to me. I’m now the only admin who will be writing here and handling posts. I can receive messages on this blog now too!!

Sooo, yesterday I went thrift store hunting and found four lovely vintage Barbies. Three of them were in great condition, had their outfits, and one of them was even still in her box. 

The last one, not so much. 

I felt bad for this doll. She was stuffed in a bag, left in a hideous outfit, covered in dirt and grime, and with nasty, sticky, matted hair. Of course, I bought her. 

She’s cleaned up now, looks much nicer, and is actually really cute! I’ve listed her on my Etsy for a pretty low price, and I really just want to see her get into a home. She’s a 1990′s vintage Barbie, and while I don’t have any of her original accessories, she’s clean and in much better shape now!

Here she is!!

Can you do one for human au where the reader bites the boys in their thighs, chest, etc like sometimes in canon? Thank you!

Admin Mawile: (ノ*゜▽゜*)

Shuu:

-He’s not too fond of being bitten in the first place (at least, not that he’ll admit to), and when you do it like that, it’s just plain embarrassing. Somehow, you always manage to find sensitive places to bite, and that makes it all the worse when he starts to enjoy the feeling of your fangs in him. 

Reiji:

-He squirms and complains when you try to bite him somewhere inappropriate, pathetically attempting to scold you for being indecent. His red face gives away that he enjoys it more than he lets on, though, as does the way his voice breaks when you sink your fangs into soft, tender skin. 

Ayato:

-It hurts his ego horribly when you so much as pin him down to feed, and, until he learns that it just gets him hurt worse, he argues with you every time you try to bite him somewhere so sensitive. There’s no real reason for you to stop, though, especially when he blushes all pretty at each touch. 

Kanato:

-Any kind of bite makes him whine and fuss, and trying to sink your fangs into somewhere so tender is just asking for a crying fit. The very thought of being bitten on skin so soft has him whimpering a steady stream of no, but the pained little noises he makes are so cute it’s hard not to torment him. 

Laito:

-He moans like a whore the first time you bite into his thigh, flushing red and squirming in pained pleasure. It hurts, yes, but your cool mouth on sensitive skin has him horribly aroused… and he’s more than willing to admit to that. It’s beyond easy to have him loud enough that the whole house will hear. 

Subaru:

-Having your head near any of those areas has him bright red and stuttering, and even if his pain tolerance is fairly high, the very sight of what you’re doing gets to him fast. His thighs are especially sensitive, and biting him there might even earn a choked, embarrassed little moan from him. 

Ruki:

-As much as he tries to keep his dignity through your torment, a bite to somewhere sensitive enough has him downright whimpering. However, his scars are the most tender area on him by far, and the idea of being bitten there will terrify him even more than somewhere more sexual. 

Kou:

-Being bitten in such places is embarrassing already, but threatening to take pictures of the faces he makes is worse. Not only does showing him how lewd he gets embarrass him horribly, the very idea that you could let those pictures out into the world is much, much more frightening than any bite. 

Yuuma:

-He’s pretty good at withstanding the pain, but the humiliation of being made to whimper and moan with your fangs somewhere tender is the actual worst. You can break down his ego like nothing else by making him ask for it, and watch him struggle over the words when, deep down, he’s starting to want it. 

Azusa:

-He openly adores being hurt in all kinds of creative ways, and does nothing to hold back his moans when you bite him somewhere tender. Pain feels as good as pleasure to him, and it’s not hard at all to work him up to a flustered mess, begging for more and practically offering himself up to you. 

Carla:

-Despite being determined not to give you the satisfaction of breaking him down, the soft, vulnerable noises that come out of him when you sink your fangs into where it hurts give him away in an instant. He’s nowhere near as above it all as he likes to pretend, as you’ll quickly find out. 

Shin:

-He’ll probably try to kick you if you bite him anywhere like that… but that just makes pinning him and watching him struggle all the more fun. When you finally do bite somewhere sensitive, he’ll make the sweetest little noises, face red as he struggles not to give away how much he likes it.
