btw, this is the line of dialogue, for folks who haven’t seen it yet

Caleb from the game Love and Deepspace saying, “You want me to decide? You’re a lucky duck. I can make decisions all day, every day.”

rachel | LaDS fanfiction 📌 | MDNI 🔞 @cardinalwrites.bsky.social · May 17

been brainrotting over caleb's one café line about making decisions, and this is what came of it

🏷️: fem!reader, soft-dom!caleb, implied D/s relationship, use of pet names (pip-squeak, good girl), don’t get too excited this is a fade-to-black (but still includes 🔞 themes)

the prompt was: #sylus reassures a stressed mc about their fear of failure

🏷️: gender-neutral!reader, hurt/comfort, use of pet names (kitten, sweetie), overt mentions of job-related stress, reader is being too hard on themselves and sylus is not having it

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

stealing this from tumblr.. it's about community!!!

screenshot of a tumblr post + reblog

OP (rooksunday):
okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

fandom is a potluck. you can come and eat the food even if you didn't bring anything, but if you just take food and leave and don't interact with anyone that's kind of weird. the point of the potluck is to hang out.

in lieu of a signature, there’s a burner phone, and you piece together that he expects you to call him.

what on earth does he have planned?

a smile tugs at the corner of your mouth as you gather up the phone and dial the singular saved number.

only one way to find out.

it’s a note, scrawled in sylus’s elegant, flowing script: “if you wake before i return, there’s a change of clothes in the bathroom and a pot of coffee in the kitchen. eat if you must, but don’t spoil your appetite.“

rachel | LaDS fanfiction 📌 | MDNI 🔞 @cardinalwrites.bsky.social · Apr 6

first, a shower. and then? well, you’ll cross that bridge when you get to it.

as you make to get up, a scrap of paper sitting on the nightstand catches your eye.

rachel | LaDS fanfiction 📌 | MDNI 🔞 @cardinalwrites.bsky.social · Apr 6

the knowledge has heat creeping into your cheeks. since when is he so considerate?

flustered, you toss off the covers and stretch to chase away some of the soreness that collected in your muscles overnight. damned couch.

rachel | LaDS fanfiction 📌 | MDNI 🔞 @cardinalwrites.bsky.social · Apr 6

sylus must’ve moved you after you passed out. nothing else makes sense.

as you take in your surroundings, your thoughts stray to the idea of him carrying you through his halls while you slept, cradled against his broad chest. but then he also must’ve unlaced your boots and tucked you into bed.
