Some mornings don't go as planned. This was definitely the case for Shade. All she wanted was to get a cup of coffee and start her day, but thanks to her roommate... she doesn't get that. What she does get is to deal with the annoyingly hot owner of the local coffeeshop.

After changing in his private quarters, Miguel headed to Dr Jekyll’s new office to see Miss Fothergill storming out of it, flashing him a steely glare as she passed. The sort of glare that made him shiver like a carcass’s muscles contracting.
He stepped inside, the strong scent of dust and earth filling his nostrils. He dragged his eyes over the walls of leatherbound books and scrolls before settling on Dr Jekyll seated behind an oak desk. He gestured to a wooden chair opposite and Miguel sat down.
‘How are things?’ he asked.
Miguel stiffened: What “things”? The weather? Dag-mal? Nox? The fact that his psychiatrist was now staying at the palace. The state of Simsland? The state of the world? And what about these “things” was he referring to?
‘Let me rephrase, how are you feeling?’
Feeling? A wave of question marks hit him. How was he feeling? Right now? Was this a trick question? ‘I don’t know.’ His left leg twitched, but he forced it still as Dr Jekyll’s grey eyes followed.
‘I hear you had dag-mál with the other senior courtiers this morning. How did that go?’
The image of Nox’s smirk plastered itself to his brain and he shuddered. ‘It was ok –’ A chain of “k”s escaped his mouth. He fixed his gaze on the stone floor, concerned about what he’d find in the eyes of Dr Jekyll.
‘Your father mentioned you had a tough day at Britechester. Want to talk about that?’
Miguel shook his head. He tensed at the thought of his papá discussing anything with his psychiatrist. “Miguel is distressed.” “Miguel is anxious.” “Miguel had another bad day.” For once, could his papá talk about something else with Dr Jekyll? Such as why his papá had developed a permanent frown, or why even his genuine smiles looked strained.
‘To struggle isn’t to be weak, Miguel. We all struggle, some more than others. It means we’re alive. That we feel.’
If that was true, then why had Dorothy run off at the first sign of his struggles? Why had it felt like she’d developed cold feet after his public meltdown? If struggling wasn’t a weakness, why did it feel like it was?
His phone beeped. Dorothy’s name appeared on the screen. His heart pounded. Gingerly he checked the message.
She called him handsome? After what had happened? What did this mean?
A small smile crept up the side of Dr Jekyll’s face. Almost as if he knew who that message had come from. Did papá tell him about Dorothy too? Was there anything papá hadn’t told him?
‘For now, I think we should keep the medication as is,’ he said. ‘I’ll mark a date for the next session to be in a couple of months. How does that sound?’ Miguel mumbled an affirmative, although his thoughts were firmly in the land of Dorothy. Did that mean she still liked him? He hoped it did. But if so, why had she run away? Whatever was going on, he would solve it.

i don’t know how many people on tumblr know about “verticals” - they’re cheaply made soap operas that are filmed vertically so you can watch them on your phone. they’re infamous in the acting world because of the poor writing and nonsensical plots - almost always has something to do with a mafia boss or a vampire or a werewolf - and they always have insane titles like “pregnant with the ceo’s baby” or “forced to marry the alpha king.” i come across tons of them on casting websites and they all have wild titles and descriptions but none of them, None of Them, have truly grabbed me like the title i saw today:
A kingdom ruled by a deadly siren. A court overrun with enemies. If Melody wants to keep her throne, she’ll have to rely on the one human who doesn’t die at the sound of her singing.
GENRE: Action, Fantasy, Romance.
Warnings: contains violence, death and mild sexual themes.

ᝰ.ᐟSoft Dominant things they do that just make you melt.
⋆.✏ ̊Based on an anonymous ask i had gotten previously about a reader who only responds to soft and gentle commands. (sorry i probably lost the orginal question)
He always phrases his words in a way that isn't demanding, never a "eat lunch" always a "let's eat lunch, yeah?".
Knows when your spine goes rigid and your speech stutters when someone around you is demanding and you refuse to function or act accordingly.
Your stubbornness doesn't anger him. He knows why it happens.
Instead of snapping, he simply gives a patient, steady look.
"Talk to me. Don't hide from me".
Lowers your walls and grounds you with slow breathing, warm hands, and quiet words—"I'm right here,".
someone talks to you sharply, he steps between you and them—not aggressively, but with a quiet force that shuts the other person up. Then he turns to you, voice always soft and grounding.
“You alright, sweetheart?”
When you’re overwhelmed, he tilts your chin up with two fingers to check in on you, to make sure you're okay.
"Too much?" he asks softly.
Never forces you to hurry up, let's you take your own pace with things. Gives you a task and walks away expecting and knowing you'd finish it at your own pace.
Always praises you and rewards you when you're done.
A head pat followed by, "good job, love" and a forehead kiss.
And when you feel patronized and babied, when you refuse to do something and accuse him of treating and talking to you like a child.
He simply shrugs, shoulders relaxed and says “I’m not," brushes your hair behind your ear. "I'm talking to you like someone who matters to me."

Idk if this deserves to be a 1k special (〒﹏〒) but I just finished my exams and I needed to post this.
My friend found my Tumblr so say heyy everyone (つ✧ω✧)つ
Bit of a PSA from your fandom big sister that I wish didn't need to be spelled out. I promise I'm not hating and I'm saying this with love.
I've seen a concerning trend in ficlets on Tumblr claiming copyright or IP on derivative works, and even linking donation pages directly on these ficlets asking for money for them.
Bestie that's copyright infringement.
You have every right to ask people not to repost. It's valid to not want your work copied.
You do not have the right to claim copyright on something that isn't your intellectual property. If you didn't create the characters or the world you are writing about, that is a derivative work you have no claim to.
Back in the not-so-old days of the internet, we used to have to spell this out each time we posted a fic. You'd see disclaimers like "I do not own these characters, copyright belongs to X" or clarifying that the post was protected under fair use and we were not making money from it. Any money you make in direct relation to posting derivative work can be claimed by the actual IP holder in court, and claiming you have copyright when you don't is just asking to be investigated or sent a cease and desist.
Please do not put yourself or the community at risk.

One question but why you leave your queen of the otherworld story be unfinished?
Hello Anon and to anyone else who stumbles across this post! <3
I've been struggling to come up with what to reply to this message, so I've decided on simple honesty.
Last year was a really tough year for me and I thought no one was reading my story so I quit. It feels really nice to hear that someone out there did read and enjoy Empress of the Otherside.
I don't know if I'll come back to Empress or my other comic, Star Brite, but I'm happy to know that someone out there remembers they exist. Thanks Anon.
To anyone else that stumbles upon this post, please remember that even when things are at their worst for ya, someone out there is reading and connecting with the stories you're telling, the art you're drawing, and the worlds you are building. Keep your head up.
P.S.: Empress and Star Brite are both still available to read on NamiComi for preservation's sake.
