    Is there someone you admire on here?

[ It’s very funny, in a good way! That you’re the one asking this question:

I admire everyone that I’ve come to write with ( seriously you all are such talents I’m in damn awe ), but, first and foremost, you and Steph, inspire me Rarity.

Rarity. You put so much effort into talking with others, into making things for others, into assuring things for others! I’m so proud of you. In the same breath, I do worry for you, because I don’t want you to stretch yourself thin. So long as it’s making you happy, but please know you don’t have to do any of these things: no one expects you to! We all love that you do, but please, remember to care for yourself too. We’d all be worse off without you in our lives, you’re such a -- a gem. An amazing, wonderful human being, so thank you for existing Rarity. I’m forever honoured, happy and inspired to be able to call you my friend.

Steph ; god, you’re so much fun to talk with! We’ve had so many conversations, and just like Rarity, you listen and you talk and you inspire. It’s so amazing to work together with you to write a story, and thank you so much for constantly being willing to listen to my honestly bonkers ass ideas! You’ve helped me to craft Mamoru and you’re helping me to develop Inuyasha too! I can only hope that I can return that favour to you, and that I’m able to be there for you whenever you need me. I’m always down to listen to your thoughts, feelings and ideas.

Special shoutouts to Shadow ( @slayerled / @aphrcdite ) for being amazing with graphics and inspiring me to get better at my own! Special shoutouts to Vicki ( @curseled / @anchoredstowaways ) for putting so much depth into Miroku and all her other muses that I am inspired to strive better with Inuyasha!  ]

    What is it you prefer: angst, fluff, or smut? Why?

[ Ohohoho, you’re curious, are you? That makes me happy!!  Honestly, I prefer angst mixed with fluff. As in, I know that dark things happen in life, and it’s the adversity and the struggle that helps to build us into who we are. We all have to stumble in order to walk. We all have to break metaphorical plates before we’re good at spinning them on sticks. You know?

It’s why I’m writing out my Inuyasha the way I do: yes, he’s going to go through hardships. Plenty, in fact. But there is a happy ending in sight! He is going to have softer, gentler moments. There will be reprieve. He just has to make it there first!!

I’m down for smut, but I get very shy about that kind of thing! I’d prefer it done privately and not for all of the dashboard to see. I’m not opposed to writing it out, but it’s not something I’m chomping for everyone to read. Plus it takes a lot of time for my muses to be comfortable with another character to get to that point!! ]

        If you could recommend at least five blogs to your followers, who would they be?

[ Oh gosh, only five?! Okay well, everyone I’ve mentioned above, obivously, buut:

@tcnseigad -- honestly the way Amber write Sesshomaru is such a joy to read!! I’m very very excited to be able to write alongside them & am looking forward to seeing where they take Sesshomaru!

@akuumo / @hanchinooji -- Just a powerhouse : a force in both writing and in how she carries herself through life. We have plans for Naraku & Inuyasha and I am beyond stoked! I’m always reading Azu’s things and am beside myself with how talented she is!!

@swordsmithtotosai -- Laney writes Toto wonderfully, and she’s so funny! Talking to her never fails to make me smile! I’m really excited to see where our thread leads us! Inuyasha & Totosai going on a journey for materials is so great!!

@ironreaversoulstealer --  Temar and I have plans in the works. But she’s been a treat to talk with each time we have! It’s great seeing her write Inuyasha!! I look forward to reading more from her!!

☆ﾟSentences → Affection

Kunzite couldn’t help but retract his body at the sudden and unexpected touch. ❝ V-Venus, what are you doing..?! ❞ he looked at her with widened grey-blue eyes, why was she poking his belly out of nowhere??

A soft blush made its way to his cheeks upon hearing her words. Sensitive? Him? Sensitive...??

Christmas Music Starters

His hands traveled along the curves of her body, exploring every area that he was already so familiar with but never got tired of touching. Lips first locked on those of her moved then towards her neck. His shirt was slightly open and his chest exposed enough for Minako to touch if she wished for. She could have all she wanted from him.

Too long, too many years away from her. Away from her lips. Away from her touch.

Her sweet, gentle voice reached his ears ‘Be my fire in the cold’

Kunzite chuckled, fingers running up and down the valley of her breasts. Teasing.

❝ Aino-san. ❞ there was no need to call her by her surname anymore but he liked to do so to play ❝ You shouldn’t use such words to tease me. ❞ 

Free hand grabs her slender one, moving it slowly towards his pants. Grey-blue eyes never leaving her ocean colored ones, paying attention to every single of her expressions.  

JUSTICE

What would you do to ensure justice? You know full well I don’t speak of lofty ideals and courts and magistrates, dearest. What would you do to those that hurt you? If I dropped them in your lap, what would you do? What kind of pain could you possibly inflict upon them? You are right to do so. You are right to want to do so. Ignore the screaming, dearest, you are the hand of justice now, and they hurt you. Do not look too closely at their faces, dearest. You are within your rights. You spell out your own rights, now. Are you happy about it? Are you certain that this is the right person you hold by the hair? Does your anger hurt less now?

&&BONUS: ASAHI VERS.

The Hermit

It’s a skill, to look inside yourself, one you have mastered. The endless corridors and shifting thoughts are mapped so very carefully. This all takes time, of course. And those twisting hallways are so very difficult to map. It would be so easy to get lost. You know this space so well. Wouldn’t it be a lovely place to stay? So well-known and comforting. Why go back? How nice, how easy, to dissolve, to hide from the rest of the world and all the people in it. Why bother, when you are so good at looking inside yourself. Like enlightenment, the self. Retreating this far inwards is like retreating just as far out, into the vast ether. So comforting. The thing that was you looks at the thing that was the old woman. There is no you anymore. Goodbye.

Grey-blue eyes moved away from the page of the book, which he had been trying to read for the past five minutes but couldn’t go past the first two lines. He blamed the presence of the blonde woman for his lack of concentration.

Snapping the book closed and then placing it back on his desk, Kanjo removed his reading glasses before standing up and walking towards his...student. He stood just a few steps away from her, not wishing to get too close -her perfume...had always drive him insane...in the good way-

There was determination in her violet-blue eyes, he could observe that much. Minako was so certain of her words, so sure that he almost gave in to tell her the truth. But he couldn’t.

Not yet.

❝ Enlighten me, Aino-san, what is it that I should remember? ❞ he placed the glasses inside the pocket of his white shirt  ❝ Perhaps you mean that I should remember you skipped the test last week...? Or the last three lessons? ❞

        |>We think you're a Burned Gryffindor Primary                 and a Hufflepuff Secondary.

A burned Gryffindor still thinks it’s important to try to do the right thing. They just have some doubts, insecurities, or cynicism around the idea that anyone can know what “right” is. The world would be easier if they could trust their gut, but they know they can’t.

They still strive to do what they can, and often build a constructed morality system (or adopt an external legal, philosophical, or religious code) in order to live as well as possible. But unlike a Ravenclaw Primary, who would be satisfied and righteous using this external system, a burned Gryffindor will always be disappointed and even guilty using this out-sourced moral system.

A Burned Gryffindor has lost confidence in their own internal moral compass. They’d prefer a reality where they could trust their gut and themself, and just do good-- but they live in the real world. Things are too complicated. So they build, find, or invest in an outward morality-- a code, a religion, a philosophy, or another person. This means they can look a lot like the Ravenclaw, relying on an externally constructed morality. However, while Ravenclaws are comfortable and satisfied by this external system, for Gryffindors prioritizing external systems is a pale, disappointing comparison to being able to trust themself.

Hufflepuff Secondaries invest themselves into their world with service and support. When things turn out well for a Puff it often comes as a result of those old investments culminating and giving back. Old debts might raise their head in a time of need. Communities the Puff has supported or built might marshal to their aid without even being asked. Their reputation might precede them, allowing them trust or the allowances that they need. They spend the time and do the work-- while a lot of the time that work may be invested in the people around them, it can also be invested in projects, systems, or organizations-- and that work, too may pay back in time of need.

Often overlooked, Hufflepuff Secondaries may be handed secrets, access, or tasks of monumental importance because they have developed a reputation that they can be trusted with them. This reputation is earned through a slow and steady process of hard work.

Not everyone can see the worth of a Hufflepuff Secondary. Less flashy than a Gryffindor, less smooth than a Slytherin, less jack-of-all-trades than a Ravenclaw, their strength is their dedication. Like all Secondaries, this sorting is about what a Hufflepuff wants to do-- not necessarily what they are able to achieve within the constraints of life, circumstance, and health. But a Hufflepuff wants to show up. They want to work well and fairly. They want to achieve things honestly and stand on solid ground.

This is what makes a Hufflepuff: they show up. They do the work, often for no obvious gain except for the satisfaction of a job well done. This is the source of their power, and it is slowly gathered, not obvious to look at, and rarely spent. Where Gryffindors charge and Slytherins transform, the Hufflepuff seems inconsequential and harmless until the moment when they rise up and call on all their debts, secrets, and trust.
