aight you found the blog, congrats, were you looking?
Ao3 | Discord | Main Blog | Reblog Blog
I'm Apple, you may call me DK if you wish, I write silly shenanigans or Murder and that's about it.
"oh but some of the fandoms you write for were created by bad people" I know that and they can rot, they get none of my money and in theory my attention would scar them.
I am not the best at tagging but I'm getting better and as such here are some relevant blog tags!
Jaymeow Speaks, Jaymeow Writes, Jaymeow Reads, Jaymeow Watches, Jaymeow Draws, Ask Box Things > Me tags! These are consistent through all of my blogs!
And We Are Children Of Empty Graves is for the inherent trauma of being improperly dead or alive, Outline Snippets is a great insight into what my writing looks like on the inside and also just fun fic teasers, the DK stand for Doo Knowledge is my fun facts about the IP tag, DK Watches JCA is for my rewatch of Jackie Chan Adventures.
Equals Theory is a term I coined for a well known phenomenon, and it is my favorite relationship dynamic. Link to the explanation post.
Rabbit Hole Essays is a tentative project for compiling fic research into easy to use essays and source lists.
Project: MESOSA stands for Make Everyone Sick Of Seeing Apple In Their Inboxes and it means I'm going to spam update. You cannot escape. (you can, actually, but let me pretend to be foreboding)
The first iteration of MESOSA came in 2022 under the title 12UpDays, and the official iteration came on August 1st, 2024. That's also the first time it was called MESOSA! There was an unofficial MESOSA in January of 2025 to announce three months worth of fest fics, and the second official MESOSA took place over the month of July, 2025.
Jaymeow Watches and Jaymeow Reads are just general 'I'm getting into a new thing and/or an old thing and have thoughts' tags, Writes has writing updates and some old writing from the days I posted directly on tumblr, Speaks is just rambles.
Okay, and now the hard part - if you want to read my works the best place really is Ao3, especially after tumblr's ai issues, but I have a couple short Miraculous stories that are here to stay (until I give in and start a, shudder, short story fic on ao3), Ghost Fic, Outfit fic, The Salt Fic, and The One Where Everyone Knows, as well as The Paper Lanterns Round Robin.
If you don't want to go to ao3 for whatever reason - first off you're lowkey doomed, second off congrats I put in so much work for you specifically.
This is the 2024 master post, it's not current but it is a good list for wips. This is the official 2025 WIP List, it was eight pages long in google docs.
If for some reason finding me on tumblr isn't enough, I moderate the Nino Lahiffe Appreciation Squad Discord, the Ethereal Grimoire Discord, and the Magpie's Hoard Discord Server. I don't mod Maribat Insanity II but I do have rights to links on request.
Ā In any other situation you can be a wild Apple may be spotted (probably in fic writer specific discords, I thrive in a very specific ecosystem) and you're always welcome to say hello.

Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a project you already completed. Sometimes ideas really are just that good and deserve to be used more than once.
Imagine you're a big wrestling fan. You follow this one really dominant wrestler and you absolutely love her. You keep up with all the drama and you're super invested until one week there's just Bomb after Bomb.
First your fave dominates an event - duh, obviously, she's the best. Then during the part of the show where the announcer is like "anybody in the audience want to challenge her for a fat stack of cash", somebody actually does. (Obviously a tourist.) It's some kid wearing like a beginner outfit from a McDojo... and he actually wins?And gets the cash! And then the event just ends!?
You're buzzing. It's clear that this is like a storyline or something. You can't wait for next week's show. Except that there isn't one, because - as you find out through the gossip mill - your fave was actually the local billionaires' daughter who was competing in secret. And also kayfabe might not exist. And now she's gone and the billionaire is blaming a demigod (who's back from the dead? I guess?) for kidnapping her.
So, how come that means no show this week or possibly ever? Well, the billionaire hired the promoter (and a random McDojo sensei) to go after the demigod to get back his daughter (your fave wrestler!) and the guy just... packed up his entire promotion and left.
Some months later the war that's been going on since your great-grandfathers days ends. You go to a peace parade. And there she is: Toph Beifong, the Blind Bandit, giving the new Fire Lord a noogie.

my dad just exploded into laughter out of nowhere and told me āimagine the lion king but with sea lionsā
he has been chuckling about it for 5 straight minutes now
apparently it doesnāt matter that iāve told him 10 times itās the monkey who raises the newborn and not the lion himself, this is the scene he has been imagining
Soft tagging @blockcat-safari, @jackdraw-spwrite, @cityofangeisislying, @audioeidolon, @venusplantt, @bardicc-inspo and @voidindite in case they would like to play along :)

Grace and Rocky, giving a tour of the Hail Mary to fascinated Eridian scientists and diplomats.
Pointing at things and explaining what they are and how the ship works, lots of awed and appreciative noises are made.
Until one of the visiting Eridians points out a specific item. āAnd that?ā
Itās a strange, circular thing, a xenonite disk mounted upright on some sort of pivot so it can spin freely, but around the edges it hasā¦ spokes? Pegs? Sticking out of it, that hit against a stiff flap that would slow down the spinning.
It is also separated into sections decorated with crude etchings of a human and an Eridian.
āAh,ā Grace says.
āThat,ā Rocky says.
āThatās. Um.ā Grace seems somewhat embarrassed. āThatās the sacrifice wheel.ā
The Eridian visitors clearly do not know what to make of that. āWe think we misunderstood Savior Graceās word,ā they say, apparently hoping this is a vocabulary mix-up. āExplain (question, polite)?ā
āDidnāt misunderstand,ā says Rocky, sounding very sheepish. āThat is sacrifice wheel.ā
āSo. While we were on our way to Erid, we might have gottenā¦ anxious about each otherās well-being,ā Grace says, which everyone is already very aware is a wild understatement. āAnd, well, you heard what happened at Tau Ceti, and after. There were a lot of unexpected dangers for the whole trip that required a lot of, at least, attempted self-sacrifice to solve. We ended up almost dying for each other several times. And we had an argument about what weād do if another crisis like that came up. And we couldn't agree.ā
āGrace argued that Grace already was unlikely to survive long-term on Erid, so he should be the one to do any potential deadly but necessary maneuvers to make sure I was able to bring taumoeba back,ā Rocky says.
āWhich made sense.ā
āDid not make sense! Grace already sacrificed so much for me and for Erid, wouldnāt be fair to make you do it againāā Rocky cuts himself off with a huff. They have obviously had this conversation before. āSo sacrifice wheel was compromise.ā
āYeah,ā Grace says. He spins it to demonstrate; it whirls around in a blur and a rattle of the flap hitting the pegs, then eventually slows down, and stopsāpointing at the segment depicting a very bad but very clear image of an Eridian. āRocky made the wheel, I spin the wheel, and whoever it lands on, thatās who gets to sacrifice themself to save the other and the other person does not get to argue. This way, we wouldnāt waste time debating who does the self-sacrifice and who survives, itās just a plain fifty-fifty chance. Or, eighteen-eighteen chance in base six. But the point is it could be either of us and we would have to accept the outcome.ā
Rocky started fidgeting while Grace was explaining. When Grace finishes, proud of the equitable solution they came up with to allow them to die for each other fairly, Rocky says, āNow that we are back and we donāt need sacrifice wheel anymoreā¦ I have confession to make. About the wheel.ā
āWhat about the wheel?ā
Rocky doesnāt answer. Grace frowns, first confused, then suspicious, and spins the wheel again.
It lands on Rocky again.
He spins the wheel again, and again, and again, and it lands on Rocky every single time.
āRocky!ā
āI weighted the wheel,ā Rocky admits.
āRocky the whole point was that it was equal, that was why we even made itāā
āNever was necessary so doesnāt matter anymore!ā
āBut you WOULD have!ā
āAnd you never noticed because you were hungry and cranky and distracted and so would have done bad job on heroic self-sacrifice anyway!ā
āI would not! I would have done fine!ā
(The Eridian scientists and diplomats are still here watching this btw. Slowly dawning on them that 1) these two are extremely not normal about each other 2) if Erid ever does another space mission they NEED to send a therapist aboard because this is what happens when they donāt)
I just want my OTP to derrive meaning from each other in a way that would be incredibly unhealthy and codependent if two people did that in real life but is profoundly poetic and romantic within the context of a fictional piece of media in consuming.
Do you think that, if the ship wasn't always recording at all times, when Stratt got those videos twenty years later, it slowly dawned on her that it was only Grace in recordings?
Do you think she felt a pitching, gut-wrenching horror when she realized that he was alone?
Do you think she thought back to that day that she forced him to go, soothing herself with the reminder that he at least wouldn't be alone, and realized that, no, she not only sent him to his death but she sent him utterly alone with two corpses?
Do you think that she remembered the fact that Grace had always been forcibly alone: ostracized from his communities, humiliated into silence, and realized she was only compounding on that?
Do you think that, upon hearing about Rocky for the first time, she felt a wash of relief rather than wonder or awe or surprise?
Do you think that, upon seeing Rocky in the ship for the first time, she felt pure joy not at the fact that she was looking at an alien but knowing that Grace wasn't alone anymore?

Presumably, if adult humans are weird, then human kids must be weird as well. But of course, since aliens probably wouldnāt interact with human children too much, there might not be much about them in the human guide.
Imagine a human leaving her kid with an alien friend because her SO is sick and none of her human crewmates are able to act as babysitter and sheās got an important meeting. So she goes to the meeting and the alien takes her kid to one of the rooms in the ship that acts as a sort of play area.
Then, when the human comes out of the meeting, she picks her phone up and sees that she has some missed callsā¦
1st call: āHey, Katie, itās me, Grit. I know youāre probably in the meeting by now and canāt answer your phone, but I was just wonderingā¦ Jackieās been chasing the other kids a lot, is she hunting them? Is that part of the whole predatory instincts thing? They all seem to be having funā at least I think so, theyāre all making that weird noise you guys makeā but I just thought Iād let you know. And, um, listenā¦ sheās not going to try and eat the ones she catches, is she?ā
2nd call: āHi, Katie, Grit againā look, I know that you guys are descended from tree climbing mammals and so your offspring need climbing equipment to satisfy those instinctsā but thereās no way sheās supposed to be that high, right? None of the other parents are doing anything and I canāt go up and get her down because my hooves canāt get a grip on the frame. Sheās right on top andā NO!<incomprehensible noises that sound like a cross between the moo of a cow and the bray of a donkey>ā okay, so sheās swinging from the bars. One of the other humans just explained that thatās normal. Heās offered me some coffee, but I said no because Iām pretty sure that stuffās toxic. Iāll try not to call again unless there is an emergency.ā
3rd call: āIām so sorry, Jackieās been injured. She tripped over and seems to have lost a layer of skin from her knee. Sheās making these noises and thereās liquid coming from her eye sockets and I donāt know what to do! Please pick up! Thereās blood and the coffee offering human keeps saying she should suck the blood out or something. Is that a thing? Does your speciesā saliva have healing properties? Shoud I call a medic?! Please pick up!ā
4th call: āSorry for that last message. Jackie seems to be doing fine now. I donāt know howā she should be laid out for weeks after an injury like that! Please, for my sanity, can you get a human babysitter next time?ā
5th call:Ā āKatie, I donāt know how to tell you this, but Jackie just handed me one of her mouth bones. Her eyes were not watering this time, but there was blood in her mouth, and the coffee-drinking human took her to get some water. Iā¦. She will have a gap in her mouth unless you are able to get it fixed. The other humans tell me not to worry, but I know how your species need their mouth bones to begin breaking down your food. My insurance only covers at-fault interspecies accidents, andā<incoherent murmuring> What do you mean, it will grow back? Wonāt it have to be reattached? <more incoherent murmuring, distinct laughter> Iā¦. I didnāt realize this was normal for your species. It wasnāt in my handbook. Iāll try not to call again unless thereās a real emergency.
awhile ago a coworker and i were play arguing whether or not the mystery gang were all romantically a thing/polycule or just really good friends (yknow bored at work things) and knowing my bfs interest in scooby doo i texted him asking him to be the tie breaker and he responded āwell it depends which canon youre going off ofā and just instantly cold sweat knew i was out of my depth

Another few pages done after 40 years! Thank you to the patrons who doodled and decorated on page 2! Thank you to @abananasaurus , @moon-wolfie ,@bloody-hugs, @the-one-teapot, @sp00kybl00ky, Tobi , and CaptainAllBlue!
I feel so many feelings about Rocky during the first contact. He wants to connect SO BADLY. Do Eridians have horror stories about scary aliens? If they do, Rocky doesn't care. He wants this alien to be friendly. He does everything he can to accommodate. Here, a little gift I'm sending your way at the speed you're comfortable with. Please be there. Here, the next gift is going right into your airlock so that it's easier for you to catch. Please don't fly away. You made a strange gesture with your limb, I'll make my robot make that gesture back. Please belive that I'm friendly. Here's a tunnel to connect us, I'll make sure you can breathe in it. Please come meet me. I'll let you choose the material for the wall separating us; I'll rebuild the whole wall if it makes you more comfortable, no trouble, just please let's talk. You're all alone on your ship, I can hear it, please come sleep here where I can watch you, it's unsafe for you to be alone. I'm alone and scared, it's been 46 years since I felt safe while sleeping, please please please watch me sleep too. I'm very vulnerable when I sleep and I trust that you won't use it against me. I want to visit your ship, am allowed, question? I'm moving in with you. Let's save the stars.
