Love Rumi for bringing flowers to ask a favor of a neighbor that she has met like, twice. What a woman <3

Anyway, go read @kayr0ss fic, it's really well written !

Like for real look at this

Reblog this so people can see this AMAZING artist who has done me the absolutely mind-blowing honor of asking to use my likeness to inspire this amazing looking character

Like for real this is a something I never would have even known or thought of as a possibility and here she is, (both the artist and the character) right in front of us!

Amazing, amazing, AMAZING

Welp, a new "the worst thing that could happen" has happened for me:

I received a letter YESTERDAY that my medical debt from 2018-2022 has hit a point where the creditor is no longer allowing "min payments" & I have til June 6th to pay it IN FULL... "or else."

If you can help, I'd appreciate it.

Seeing the GoFundMe hit 33% in a day has been… amazing.

The weight isn't fully gone, but it is lighter!

wordle in 2: misleading. you may think that this is the highest achievement, but it suffers from the same disappointment of a lucky guess that wordle in 1 causes. your second guess is a strategic choice, but ending the game this early just isn't interesting

wordle in 3: the peak. your starting word gave you some information and then your second guess contextualized that information into a solvable position. your sharp intuition and restraint is what truly separates you as above average.

wordle in 4: statistically average, par for the course, the baseline against which all other wordles are compared.

wordle in 5: you're sweating. you made a mistake at some point, or your starting word was effectively useless, and it took an extra guess above average to close things out. wordle in 5 comes as a relief.

wordle in 6: crushing humiliation. you have technically succeeded but at what cost. your thirty square grid will stare back at you like barrels of a firing squad. a failure in all but name.

Time will do the talking, years will do the walking I'll just find a comfy spot and I'll wait it out Yes, your time will do the talking, years will do the walking Time will tell you, baby, what you can't hear now

club escapade scene from chapter 3 of love can't make you strong (until love can make you weak) , co-written by @barrhorn and me. If you like the idea of an AU where married singer/songwriter duo zoerumi have their eyes set on supermodel mira (with some plot creeping into the mix), do come by :)

The higher the setting on the blender, the better

you've got a lot of the fics i'd have recommended already! (check out the collection, it's full of bangers) but i do have a few more that fit the vibes here! only one i haven't already recommended somewhere else but

No, I Don't Belong to You or Anyone Else by @ollieseastone

Rumi is captured by a group of scientists hellbent on discovering how a half-demon came to be. Mira and Zoey spend months figuring out what happened to her. When they eventually do they all have a long road to recovery ahead of them.

you've already got one of Ollie's fics in your collection, so you'll almost certainly enjoy this one, too!

the blender is on HIGH, and be mindful of the tags. a fantastic look into lasting trauma, specifically around human experimentation.

Comeback (How to Tame Your Rumi) by @ramblingarachnid

After they turn the Honmoon gold, Rumi's patterns don't disappear. Instead, she does, leaving Zoey and Mira to grapple with her presumed death. Until she crash lands back into their lives, feral, bloodied, and broken, forcing them to confront not just new threats to their world, but the trauma she left behind.

now with 100% more Rumi, as per the tags. it takes a bit to get to the Rumi blending but when it gets there jesus christ is she a fine purée. the author is not kidding about Rumi being feral.

not to be ignored is how hard Mira and Zoey also get blended here, since they think Rumi is dead for the majority of the fic

let me be a little less liminal by geekchic64 (@whatwordsmiss)

Set after the IDOL awards, the Honmoon decides to give Rumi another shot at a perfect world. No matter how many times it takes to get it right. What could possibly go wrong?

ooooh my god. listen i could recommend this fic every day and not run out of things to say about it, but in terms of Rumi being blended? this is a very unique version of that. this is Rumi getting to be happy and having it snatched away from her at the last minute again and again and again

rainstorm by @eyexsight

Rumi has spent four years away from her hometown. Now that she's graduated, she's ready to visit her family again. But time has left her behind and things have changed—and someone else has taken her place.

Rumi is absolutely going through it here. the entire village fucking hates her and we still don't really know why. like everything about this fic, the blending is low and slow, but it's ramping up and i am deeply concerned for her emotional and physical wellbeing

Let It Burn Slow by @isufferfromyd

Rumi finally says yes to Zoey’s nth offer to join them in bed. Realising Rumi’s inexperience, they start slow, exploring in shared safety. Gay panic and actual panic ensue.

i knew this was gonna blend Rumi from the outset cos i had some insider knowledge however i did not expect the speed or severity of the blender being turned on. like i was already sad for her but she's about to go through it so much worse than i anticipated

faultlines by ovenglovee

faultline (noun) a line on a rock surface or the ground that traces a geological fault. an area of a system that seems weak and likely to cause problems or failure. a divisive issue or difference of opinion that is likely to have serious consequences.

i did not go into this fic expecting it to make me cry, but it had me in floods of tears. it's the first fic i've seen to really look into the impact of how many people died during the train scene in the movie.

naturally, Rumi takes far more responsibility than is reasonable, and ovenglovee's beautiful writing and metaphors really take the concept to a brand new place.

adrenaline rush
