So I Had A Lot Of Fun Making Megaten (in)correct Quotes So I'm Doing It Again :P

So I had a lot of fun making megaten (in)correct quotes so I'm doing it again :P

This time it's more persona focused but I managed to implement some SMT as well (involving my weird headcanons :P)

Beneath Their Masks Chapter 1 is Up!

I'm about 13 chapters ahead, so hopefully that means I'll be able to put up chapters on time for the whole month...

If chapters are late, then they're late. I'd rather them go up as good as possible than meet a deadline that's only relevant for a month.

So...here we go!

BRB letting the intrusive thoughts win (also happy birthday to me i guess????)

Fear not, I'll properly tag anything that could be too extreme. Don't worry.

It's uh, all a bit extreme. Sorry! I'll try not to make this a habit...

Beneath Their Masks is continuing on schedule (somewhat), but don't be surprised if I do some other stuff in the meantime. Just haven't been in a really fluff-y mood this week. Sorry.

My senpai scrunklies xDDD

Beneath Their Masks Chapter 5 is Up!

Chapter 5! I really like this one and the one that follows this. There are going to be a couple chapters that take place around the same time and/or are continuations of each other. This one was definitely difficult to write without making characters seem OOC. Also, holy shit, I learned more about dresses and dress terms writing this than I have in my entire life. It was definitely...interesting. Well, I hope it's good! (I say, being the person that wrote it...)

Ann made her way to the coffee table, picking up the remote to turn up the TV. As the smooth jazz tune grew louder, Ann heard the bedroom door open out of her sight.

“Hey Makoto, didn’t you see this artist live at that jazz clu-” Ann started, turning towards the bedroom door.

Ann dropped the remote. It clattered to the floor, bouncing under the sofa.

Makoto was standing in the doorway. She wore a dress that held an undeniable aura of authority and sophistication, but with a sharp edge of sensuality. Black like a moonless night, the dress clung to Makoto’s body like a shadow, both complementing and accentuating her statuesque figure.

The bodice was covered in intricate embroidery that formed delicate feathery shapes. The neckline plunged deeply, further sharpening the dress’s sensual nature. The long sleeves cascaded down her arms like inky waterfalls, loose near the wrist, but tight enough near her upper arms to print Makoto’s toned muscle.

As Makoto stepped further into the living room, the hem of the dress trailed behind her. The gold hem stitches caught the low and warm lighting that engulfed the entire room. Ann could distinctly hear the clack of heels with each step.

Makoto’s aura was different. Ann couldn’t place her finger on what exactly was different, but she seemed like a completely new person. She wasn’t just Makoto Niijima, high school student, and younger sister to Sae Niijima, esteemed public prosecutor. She was Makoto Niijima, Ann’s girlfriend. No, Ann’s Queen.

I've been saying this for years, but we (at least in america) live in a society designed around cars. I imagine it was for the sake of freedom for those who desired to go where tracks did not, but now we're just back to predestined locations on roads with the illusion of freedom.

Sure, I can hop on a train and go somewhere, but if I need to go into town to do something, there isn't a train that takes me there. Trains are only viable for longer distances, and that's terrible. I suppose that's what busses are for, but I like the idea of just hopping on a train and going to work, or down to the store, or whatever. But it's just not built that way. Take out two lanes of the freeway and throw a train on there with stops at each exit and then we'll be talking.

God I fucking love trains. I would ditch the ability to drive if I could just take a train everywhere.
