Replying to my last question before hehe! I have watched some eps of rottmnt and they are so cool wahhh!!! And thank you tumblr user duckwithablog I’m really enjoying your silly little writings :D I’m a precure brainrot in my case LOL

AAHH TYTY!! I'm planning to write the requests for ROTTMNT soon, it's just that this week has been very busy lmao

the lego to turtle pipeline brainrot is so real bro,, i am constantly rotating all of them in my head at maximum speed

the sonic the hedgehog posts that i reblogged are getting more notes than my actual writing..... is this a sign i should write for the sonic franchise

this might be weird to ask, but how do I critically look at another person's writing and implement what I like in their writing in my own writing? I've been having trouble improving in my writing, and frankly Im not sure how to go about doing that, even. It's easy to see what I like about another person's writing, but hard to pinpoint exactly why...

THIS IS NOT WEIRD TO ASK. It is, in fact, the most important question EVER.

How to Read Like a Writer

Re-read. If you get halfway into a chapter and think, Wow this chapter is super creepy–I wonder how they did that. Or get to the end of a book and think, I feel the poignancy of the fragility of human life in an inherently volatile economic system–I wonder how the writer made me feel that way… Go back and re-read that shit.

Read slowly. When you read like a reader, you read pretty fast. When you go in for your second, or third, or fourth re-read of a passage, chapter, or book that you want to know more about, read it slowly. Really. Slowly.

Read for technique, not content. Readers read for content (”In this paragraph, Damien gave Harold a classified envelope.”). Writers read for technique. (”In this paragraph, the writer made me feel curious about the contents of the envelope by giving sensory details about its appearance and weight.”)

Ask the right questions. They usually start with HOW: How did the writer make me feel? How did they accomplish that?

Read small. Did a chapter make you feel sad? Find out WHERE EXACTLY. What paragraph, sentence, or WORD did it for you? Was it a physical detail? A line of dialogue? A well-placed piece of punctuation? Stories are made of words and sentences. Narrow it down.

Practice. Reading like a writer is a skill that takes time to develop. Over time, you’ll get better at it!

How about y’all? Anything to add to this list? I made it off the top of my head so I’m sure I’m forgetting something. What have been your experiences with learning to read like a writer?

Hope this helps!

LMAO YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE PUT YOUR HEIGHT AT 1.55 M SHORT ASS GOBLIN

SHUT THE HELL UP IM GOING TO RUN YOU OVER-

Hey duck! Little update! I’m feeling better. Thank you for the kind words! The good vibes were very much appreciated. <333

As a follow-up to your response, I also liked happy wheels back in the day! I never played it myself, but I loved watching happy wheels on YouTube. Furthermore, I too enjoy the Sonic franchise… despite how terrible I am at playing the games heh… I’m starting to realize that we have a lot of the same interests. 🙃😅

Anyways, I’ll leave you with a few questions as always. <33

What’s your favorite sonic character? As edgy as he is, Shadow is my favorite. (I’m sorry, but like- guy actually has a good backstory with Maria.)

Also, have you seen Sonic Prime, or Sonic X? 👀

-🍑 anon

Man, it's like we're the same person frfr,, Insert spiderman pointing meme here

Honestly, valid!! I can see why Shadow is such a fan favorite, he's such a silly and traumatized little blorbo. His backstory with Maria is so tragic, like.... Bro sees his sister figure get gunned down in front of him, and not only that, ever since waking up from the pod he is literally alone. Everyone on the ark that he knew, the only family he's ever had, they're all gone. RAHH HES SO TRAGIC!!! BUT HE ALSO OWNS A GUN IN HIS OWN GAME AND THATS FUCKING HILARIOUS

I can't believe u got me thinking about Shadow the Hedgehog at one in the morning LMAOOO

Anyways!! You are NOT ready for my fav sonic character. He is literally peak blorbo to me. I love him with all my heart.

Are you ready. Are you ready to be fucking blown away with how AMAZING my blorbo is. (/lh)

THATS HIM. THAT IS MY BOY. HIS NAME IS IAN JR AND BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, HE IS AN OFFICIAL (YET VERY MINOR) SONIC CHARACTER AND I LOVE HIM HE IS SO FUCKING SILLY RAAHGHHG

His lore and how he became official is honestly very simple, but it's like 1am so I'll just link a video if you want to know more abt him!! (The Sonic OC That Became Official - YouTubewww.youtube.com › watch)

But aside from Ian Jr, my other favorites has GOT to be Knuckles (he is my babygirl) and Chaos Sonic from Sonic Prime (my fav beepo ever)!!!

Man.... Blorbo, Babygirl, and Beepo.... It's like the Holy Trinity of my brainrot

As you can tell, I've seen Sonic Prime! It's one of my favorite pieces of Sonic media, and one I'm looking forward to the most, bcs I think s3 is coming out somewhere around early 2024. I haven't finished Sonic X, but I've watched a majority of the first season and I loved it! I've been planning to go back to it and watch the sub version instead, because I wanna see any cut scenes the satan of censorship (4Kids) left out in the dub.

That's all from me!! Hope you continue to do well, 🍑 anon!! Until then, do you have a fav piece of sonic media? Are there any games youve played?

Amnesia Rules 2.0

Wukong x Reader x Macaque

Warning: Suggestive Themes, typos because I don't have the energy to proof read, I wrote this in discord like months ago.

Notes: I haven't posted in a while, so have this shot that's been sitting in my drafts for like two months. Amnesia rules Macaque, eh? Has a reference to Sweet n Sour Hearts, too.

~

You were just chilling on the sofa when you heard the chatter.

Wukong had asked you to stay put, needing to leave in the middle of your game sesh. Mk messaged him about something and, though he totally CAN read, he figured it'd be easier to handle in person.

So, alone with the monkies, you were left on the mountain to wait. It wasn't so bad. You even got a little nap in.

Eventually, though, Wukong came back. And he had someone with him.

"Good to be back! When did we leave, anyway?"

Is that..?

"For the last time, you- Don't just go in there!"

You saw the door begin to open, two figures standing just outside of it. It shut again, however, and you heard Wukong try to ramble out some sort of threat, but it fizzled out with a sigh.

You didn't pay much attention to the rest of the conversation, standing up with caution. You stepped towards the door, the wood under your feet creaking. The voices stopped.

You heard a small ~woosh~, followed by Wukong yelling 'NO'.

And then you had arms around your waist and a tail trailing up your leg.

"So, this is why you didn't want me in here,~" Macaque spoke, his sultry voice right next to your ear. You tensed up, flinching as the door slammed back open.

The King seemed rather irritated.

"Wukong-?" You spoke, trying to step away from his counterpart. He let you, watching with a mischievous grin and curious eyes. You looked between them both, "What's going on?"

"First name basis already?" Macaque spoke with a playful scoff. You eyed him with confusion, watching his tail flick as he started matching your gaze intently, "Well, that's not fair.~ You got a head start!"

"What...?" You grumbled, eyebrows furrowing at the dark simian as he plopped himself down on the couch, legs spread with his arms draping over the back of it. You pouted, "Macaque, what are you talking about?"

His ears petked up and his smile grew, his tail swaying in delight. His eyes seemed locked on you.

"Oh, so you do know my name," he cooed, "Good.. you'll need it.~"

...

"Wukong, what in the fuck is happening right now?"

Macaque burst into laughter at your blunt, tired tone. The Monkey King, however, was rubbing his eyes in irritation.

"I- Look, remember when Pigl- Pigsy gave me that pepper? During our little journey?"

You flushed, the memory flashing in your mind.

"No, no, no, that won't do. You belong to the Great Sage now, m'kay?~"

"... Vaguely." You lied, looking away out of the corner of your eye.

You stole a glance at Macaque, who was lounging with his eyes closed. His ears, however, were pointed towards you both. He was listening closely.

"Well-" Wukong tossed his hands in the air in exasperation, huffing in frustration as he motioned to his once sworn brother, "Yeah."

"... So... That's why Mk needed you?"

"Nice kid," Macaque interjected before Wukong could speak, making the King glare at his counterpart, "Enough about all this, though-"

You yelped as you felt yourself being yanked forward, Macaque's tail wrapped around your waist as he placed you unceremoniously into his lap. He placed on hand on your hip, opening his eyes to gaze down at you, his fangs extenuating his grin.

"I'm more interested in you, pretty thing.~"

You blinked owlishly, feeling heat slowly rise up your face and to your ears.

"H-.. huh?"

"So where'd he pick you up, hm?" He teased, his other hand reaching to your neck. He used his finger to trail his claw up your neck to your chin, inspecting you with intrigued eyes, "He hasn't brought anyone home before.. You must be special, princess.~"

"Alright, put them down!" Wukong growled, "That's enough!"

The King rushed forward in an attempt to grab you, but you felt a sudden rush of gravity. You sunk into the couch below you with Macaque-

And then popped up onto the lounge chair instead.

This time, however, you were draped over his lap sideways, your legs hanging over the arm rest and his hand resting on your calf. His tail resting around your shoulders now, holding you up in your sitting position so you wouldn't have your back pressed into the other arm rest. You flailed around a bit when you first emerged, but he didn't seem to mind.

"I was right!" The Puppeteer cackled, eyes wide in wonder and amusement. His tail lightly thumped against your shoulder as your eyes darted back and forth.

"About what?!" Wukong loudly spoke in frustration, throwing his hands up.

"You're courting them!"

Macaque laughed as he spoke, his tail retreating from your shoulders so he could instead place his arm over them, tugging you closer. You could only blink in surprise, in confusion, as it all happened. You looked to Wukong for an answer, but he simply avoided your gaze with red cheeks. You felt your face heat up a bif, too.

"Macaque.. Let. Them. Go," Wukong growled, fur bristling.

The charcoal furred simian let out a deep chuckle, using his newly found grip on your shoulder to turn you around. He wrapped his arm around your chest, pulling back into his own while his tail wrapped around your waist. His other hand, now no longer on your leg, trailed up your arm to your neck.

"Oh, Wukong,~" the macaque purred, his hand gently yet firmly grasping your throat, the tips of his claws grazing your skin. You felt your breath catch as you froze up, feelimg the blood rush to your cheeks, "I don't think they mind. Do you, dollface?~"

"I- uhm.. w-what-?"

"Besides- You finally courting someone? Well.."

Macaque placed his chin on your shoulder, making you look at him out of the corner of your eye. He caught your gaze with a sly grin.

"They have got to be interesting.."

Hello! Can I request this?? The mayor really likes s/o (he's literally a Simp) and although Sun Wukong knows that s/o is completely loyal and trusts them, he doesn't like that the man tries to flirt with s/o or gives compliments even though the mayor knows that s/o is not single

ok so first of all, Wukong is NOT happy

he tries to pretend to be all chill about it, saying that he knows you won't leave him for some mayor because you literally have the Handsome Monkey King as your boyfriend

but internally he's super irritated that the Mayor is trying to woo you, since you're CLEARLY already in a relationship

he trusts you, of course he does! it's that creepy ass mayor he doesn't trust

he can't really go out in public since, you know... he's been MIA for the past 500 years? But the moment he hears about the mayor's 'admiration' for you, he's suddenly SO insistent on going with you whenever you leave the mountain

"Are you sure you wanna go? I know you aren't that good with crowds-"

"Pfft, it's fine! I can handle a few people, no biggie."

sticks to your side 24/7 when yall go out + he's always somehow touching you

mans has his arm around either your waist or shoulders. he'd wrap his tail around you if he could

one part of him hopes that you guys wont run into your admirer and just have fun, while another part wants to get a peek at the mortal that's trying so hard to court his s/o

but since life is never easy and that mayor is a hardcore simp, the Mayor just appears out of nowhere and comes up to you guys to talk

you casually greet the mayor while Wukong just eyes him up and down, not impressed

Wukong's first thought was 'Huh, he doesn't look that bad'

but then when the Mayor opens his mouth and his words were to FLIRT WITH YOU

Wukong immediately goes 'OH WHAT THE HELL?!'

Wukong is so surprised at this mans audacity. which is saying something because Wukong used to be the most audacious guy ever when he was younger

literally when the mayor decides to flirt with you, he gives him the most deadliest stink eye ever and pulls you in closer to him

mayor is not fazed and continues flirting

the way he flirts is.... questionable

"Hello, my dear! You smell delightful tonight!"

"What the fu-"

Wukong then chooses that that was the PERFECT time for him to introduce himself

"Hey there, buddy! Sorry, we didn't really notice you. You know, since we were so focused on our DATE. Nice to meet you, I'm Y/n's BOYFRIEND."

he says this all so passive aggressively while he shakes the Mayor's hand with an intense grip

he is not subtle at all, you gotta nudge him with your elbow so he can tone down his boldness

the Mayor just laughs, as if this random guy just didn't try to break all of his fingers with a handshake

he continues on conversing with you guys, saying things like "I didn't realise you two were together!" and Wukong is thinking "OH REALLY??"

Wukong keeps on interrupting Mayor whenever he speaks during the convo, FULLY intent on annoying him

he goes full asshole to the Mayor. Wukong is channeling his inner JTTW younger self to deal with him

of course, he tries to act mature but sometimes he just slips and says something so rude that you gotta remind him that he's talking to the LITERAL MAYOR OF THE CITY

Wukong doesn't care. he does not give a shit, he's the Monkey King! Why should he be worried about some mortal mayor?

if only he knew who the mayor worked for, maybe he'd be more worried

he also turns up the PDA to 100. Leaning into you so much he's practically cuddling your side, calling you various petnames, gives you random kisses here and there

He keeps on hammering in the idea that 'THEYRE MY PARTNER BACK OFF' to the Mayor the entire conversation

but somehow, the Mayor just doesn't get the hint??? either that, or he KNOWS and just chooses to ignore it

eventually, the Mayor has to leave to do his duties and Wukong is so relieved

"Aww, pssh, no worries man. You should totally go do your mayorly work, you know, since you're such an important figure. Okay, bye bye now!!"

Wukong is shooing this guy away, no shame at all

but apparently, the Mayor REALLY just wanted to piss him off today

so before he left, he takes your hand, kisses it, smiles and leaves. leaving you and Wukong gaping and staring off after him

Wukong is FUMING from next to you. you can see the steam coming out of his ears. he's restraining the urge to clobber the guy right now

"The nerve! Can you believe him?? I was literally right there!"

he then goes on to trash talk the mayor the entire day, insulting him for following you around like a puppy and his terrible flirting skills

"I can flirt so much better than him. You agree with me, right?" "Of course I do, you're my boyfriend after all."

The ego boost he gets after hearing that

"Yeah. Yeah, I am your boyfriend! That guy should really back off before I show him who I really am!"

he jokingly says that he might actually reveal his identity to the mayor just to scare him off, but you convince him not to since he'll get into so much trouble if he does

he won't actually do it, but he just thinks about it sometimes. kind of like a late night thought he thinks about at 3am

you gotta talk to him about the whole situation, because Sun "I have communication issues" Wukong would definitely try to act as if it doesn't bother him when it clearly does

he doesn't really need it, since he knows that you won't leave him, but... reassure him that you won't ditch him. he appreciates it a LOT

you also gotta let him know if he gets too suffocating with his affection, or if he gets a bit too hissy at the Mayor (or else his lawyer is gonna have to send another angry email)

ok being fr though, the Mayor is LUCKY that Wukong has more self control than he had during his journey. if he wasn't as mature as he was, the Mayor would've probably DIED

it's ON SIGHT, mf. not even the lady bone demon can save his ass

he tells you to tell him if any of the mayor's advances make you uncomfy. because if so, he'll hit up his lawyer and file a lawsuit

sometimes he groans about the Mayor being such a simp and makes fun of him for it

"Aren't you technically a simp as well?" "I'm your boyfriend, I'm your #1 simp! That guy is just some rookie compared to me."

anyways, you got 2 powerful beings simping for your ass and they're starting a cat fight with one another. please stop them before the decimate the entire city

This was such a fun request to do- Wukong seeing the mayor simp for his s/o and going "the lion the witch and the AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH" is hilarious to me

IM BACK GIRLIES AND GALS AND FRUITY PAL'S

I switched Tumblr accounts so was absent for a while but I'm back 👁️😘

-🐢 anon

HOLY SHIT 🐢 ANON IS BACK YOU GUYS!!!!

HELLO HELLO WELCOME BACK I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE!!! Good to know you havent died or anything /j LMAOOO

-🍑 anon

GahHh my heart! 🥹 I just finished reading the backstory of your account.

I too have had online friends that disappear, and got busy with life. I can totally relate to that. It’s sad to see their accounts get seemingly abandoned. I hope they are doing well too.

Furthermore, I can tell you were a wonderful friend to them! It warmed my heart to see how much you care about them. 🤧 gah! I need to find myself friends like you.

I also read fics on every platform possible XD. I started out on wattpad in 2017, and I’ve been reading fics for 6 years now. I actually had written fics on wattpad and tumblr myself. Not for LMK though- for another fandom I’m in. I mostly spend my time drawing and reading, but perhaps I’ll get back into writing again. Who knows 👀.

Ps: You have to try peaches! The monkey man has good taste- Trust the monkey! Well, then again, I grew up canning peaches with my late mother, so perhaps I’m biased 😅. Also, ‘Mooncakes’ as a ship name is adorable, especially for Macaque.

Yeah real life do be like that sometimes,, all we can do is just manifest that everything good happens to them, because thats what they deserve!!

And thank u!! And erm,, we can be friends,, if u want,, looks at u intently

also ayo 6 years?? I forgot how long I've been reading fics, but I think it's somewhere around your count as well. OUGH THAT MAKES ME FEEL A BIT OLD... Oh well. And eyy!! Another (potential) writing buddy!! If you ever want someone to hear abt a premise/concept for a story you got in mind, I'm always free to listen!!

Alr gonna trust the monkey on this one..... Only bcs peaches look SO scrumptious like, zamn- even if I dont end up liking it, itd look so aesthetic that I wont even be mad. Ur mom's pretty based for doing that w u btw, peaches look cool as hell.

AND YEAH I WAS SO PROUD OF THAT NAME WHEN I CAME UP WITH IT HAHSCHF it was like i was struck with knowledge from the gods above, and i used it to create a Macaque x Y/n ship name for my friends fic. The knowledge was put to good use, imo.

heya! is it okay to ask for Wukong and Macaque x a chubby, trans male reader? like the reader is insecure about his body, but Wukong and Macaque helps him feel better?

Hello!! I hope you like this; I'm not really an expert in writing trans readers and dysphoria, but I do want to learn more on how to!!

Wukong and Macaque x chubby! trans! male! reader that's insecure about how he looks

Wukong

Wukong understands why you're insecure. He doesn't agree with it, of course not! You're the most handsome person ever! But he gets why you can feel that way

He tries to make you feel better by cracking some jokes. Anything to see you smile and forget about those bad thoughts

Things like "C'mon, you're amazing! I mean, look at me. I'm a literal stone monkey, and there are people out there that think I'm a smokeshow! I mean, they aren't wrong but..."

Loves your chub. He makes sure you know how much he loves your chub. Always sleeps on top of you and kisses your belly

He offers up to take a ride on his cloud to take your mind off it, or maybe just take a stroll around the mountain

If not, he'll probably get some snacks and cuddle up with you on his couch watching TV shows. Keeps telling you how GREAT you are for cuddling and how amazing you are

You're his boyfriend after all! If you managed to keep this cocky monkey under control, then you're just as amazing as he is!! (Maybe even more amazing)

Macaque

Oh, Mac totally gets where you're coming from. He uses a glamour to hide what he really looks like, so he gets what you're feeling

Tries his best at comforting you. He's not the best with... words. He can tell you what you want to hear, but he doesn't want it to be so empty

So he takes down his glamour in front of you, for the first time ever. This is a really vulnerable moment for him, so bear with him as he tries to muster up the courage to speak

Tells you that he understands your feelings, but for him, you're the most perfect guy he's seen. He's quite the looker and got some attention from some people before, sure, but that was because he got his glamour on. You're the first person to ever see what he really looks like

Him taking his glamour off was his way of comforting you. Saying things like "I don't think I'm all that good looking either. But if you still love me, even if I look like this, then why shouldn't I love you back? You're the most perfect person in the world to me."

Mac doesn't really care about looks all that much. He seriously thinks you're the greatest, regardless of what you look like. He makes sure to tell you that every single day!!

And you know he means it, because his glamour is always off whenever you're around :]]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this was good! Wukong's was more optimistic while Mac was more emotional. That's mostly because I think Wukong would try cheering you up using jokes and reassurances while Mac reveals to you what he looks like in a show of trust and comfort.

Wukong has no problem with being genuine, but Mac does, so the only way I could see him trying to comfort you was basically showing you his own version of "woah you're just like me fr" /j
