i really do think that till cared for ivan in a way that ivan just couldnt see ya know?? how to say this
till loves ivan in a way that isnt romantic, isnt selfless, isnt selfish, isnt holy, and isnt sinful. its something so simple and nonchalant that ivan would never never able to see it
till loves ivan in the way he lets him follow. and how he trusts that he will even if he doesnt look back.
i hesitate to call it love, but theres something so simply romantic in that constant expectation of his presence that im not sure what else to call it
tills love for ivan is so wonderfully normal that it can be misconstrued you know?
its like till doesnt give ivan an invitation to his party cause hes like "why would i need to tell him to come, hes gonna be there anyways"
while ivan is like "till doesnt want me there he didnt give me an invitation :( (im going to go anyways)"
and then till is like "ivan is there, glad he got the memo"
and ivan is like "i am an intruder in a place i wasnt and will never be invited to or welcomed"
the tragedy of the commonplace if you will
[Toon x Mobster] A Toon's nature to break into musicals
[Info Below:]
In the Toon Genre, it's socially acceptable to start singing without warning. Many would even join in and they'd go about their days afterwards since it's just that normal to them. Though, there's a few rules regarding this like no musicals during working hours or on the road (since it could be dangerous if the driver/road crosser got distracted), etc.
Not all Toons like musicals - some social circles don't even do them entirely - but it's widely accepted by most of their society.
Hey so i'm curious about mcs height, as in is it set or can we headcanon/choose the height?
Cause when meeting Amon the first time, it is said that the mc has to crane their neck to look at him, which kinda suggests that mc is like freakin short(around 5'3-5'5 and shorter) at least i think that this is short, and i know that he is like giant, but with an character who is maybe 6' feet and over it wouldn't make that much sense having to crane the neck.
Also this i just my personal feelings, but i am personally a bit uncomfortable to play a short mc, cause of trauma etc. so it would be appreatiated if you could clarify it, thx.
So River is written to be as "average" as possible so it's easier for people to both self-insert or create their own oc. Amon is characteristically tall in the sense that an MC of his height / close to his height / taller than him would be rare. Not that it's impossible or not encouraged! It's just that not being his height would be the most common scenario.
The "craning your neck to look at Amon" was mainly written for emphasis, not to establish a canonical height for the MC. Perhaps it was too exaggerated and I can find a better way to describe it.
You can even think about it as not strictly literal—he's huge not just physically speaking. There's not much more thought behind it, really!
Also, whether you'll be able to specify things as your height etc., is something we're not sure about yet. LiL is not a strictly self-insertsy, customize everything kind of story, but we'll see how it goes :^)

[Toon x Mobster] Yay, found family beloved. (This video references this post!)
Sir Kingsman is not upset or ashamed at the Huffman siblings dating the same sex (-and from a different genre at that..), rather, he's just pondering whether the partners they've chosen are good or bad for them. Basically, he's looking after his children. Always.
For a man his age, he's pretty tolerant to whatever shenanigans it is these two get up to.
Is the TRY NOT TO DIE in your demo announcement just for dramatic effect or can we actually die in the demo 🥲
Oh you can absolutely die in the demo. I made sure of it.
how do you think cecile would react to you falling for him instead of one of the main characters? would he push you away? or do you think he’d try to pursue you as well?
i honestly think he'd just look at you funny and beat the shit out of you. then spit on your dead body and leave. unfortunately for him, id just moan
seriously, though? i guess it really depends on how close you are to him. if he's still untrusting of you (which will last for a long time because he's not easy to romance, i imagine), then he'd curl his lip at the idea... and maybe almost pity you. like, seriously. of all people. you want the one man who wants to strangle you like a raggedy ann doll. pick your standards and your deadbeat body off the floor lest he trip on you. where the fuck are the palace maids when you need them?
if he's more accepting of you, then i think it'd send him into a big dilemma. he's not interested in the why's and when's and how's.
he just knows that it's wrong.
you just had to ruin it all, didn't you? and what a fucking shame, at that, because he was just starting to trust you. your interest in him is legitimately a betrayal to him because he can't have people burdening him. yes, this love is a burden. the moment you care is the moment you tether others, and that's not very convenient for his job.
he can't believe it.
all this time, through out everything that you two have gone through, you've been harbouring this dirty desire, haven't you? it sickens him. (love sickens him, it always does. he was not made for it.) he can't even stand to look at you.
so he doesn't.
he's not above abandoning you high and dry; remember first and foremost that he has a duty. he can't be troubling himself with such matters, and really - he's doing you a favour. no good comes of loving men like him. he flinches in the face of intimacy, he snarls at vulnerability. he won't do it, he can't.
he can't put himself through the painful ordeal that knowing; yes, he is, in his own way, starting to care for you too. just leave him alone. please.
but you never do. you never fucking listen, don't you? this one time, he tries to be nice, and you spit in his face by chasing after him. you better not regret what comes next - when cécile finally decides that you aren't too bad to hunt down.
alas... one never knows how well a prey animal can fight back, much less if they are prey at all and not another predator disguising themself under sweet wool. because let's face it; the way you torture him? by making him want you back? you're no innocent lamb. you are another foreign wolf, and now... he can't tell if he wants to kill you, or make you his, or both.
atleast that's what i think! :p cécile realising that mc likes him and then realising he likes mc is just gonna be a shit show of push and pull like a tag of war and honestly, im here for it. it's gonna be a LOT of push, kinda like a constant warning. but once he finally decides to give in, there is no going back. he's not gonna push you away anymore - he's gonna pull you in like a black hole consumes all. WAITERRRRRR WAITERRRRR ONE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE MAN NEOWWWWW
Nothing to say, just feel
That one tweet that’s like “oh that’s gore… that’s gore of my comfort character” but in the absolutely most positive sense u can imagine, with rainbows and dolphins in the sky etc.
Watching Luffy scream his voice hoarse as Zoro gets eaten by that flower thing in the Baron Omatsuri movie was my ZoLu Roman Empire.
And then canon events duplicated that desperate scream with Kizaru v. Zoro at Sabaody.
Honestly, both events were traumatizing, but bless your ZoLu biases, Oda-sensei.
Also, I just LOVE that while Zoro is the crew’s strong, fierce protector, Luffy is also SO PROTECTIVE OF ZORO! We need more protective Luffy fics where he saves/spoils Zoro. Get to work, writers!!!
