argenthill as ikutowa is so very dear to me...
You've mentioned to have some knowledge on the matter, but since you're not into slow damage, let me give you a brief explanation 🙂↕️
Towa (associated with Boothill) and Ikuina (associated with Argenti) are both artists whose ways very much differ.
Towa cares very little for his life, body, or health, his scars and malnourished frame prove it, but he is aware of his appeal to others (this could go well in boothill's cyborg case). His only passion is fulfilling the darkest, innermost desires of those he finds interesting, then using the inspiration gained from those interactions for his paintings. After the process is done, he loses all attachment to it and opts to display it at his favourite bar, under the name "Euphoria".
Ikuina, a florist fluent in flower language, turns petals and stems into macabre art resembling wounds and gore and posts them on the same bar's website under "Fraise". He's slowly developing and barely containing a fascination with real wounds, leading him to go on a spree of cutting and patching up passed out people on the streets, earning the title of "Goddess of Whimsey".
Towa also falls victim to Ikuina's doings, all while slowly developing an interest to the unknown artist "Fraise" (which he later on finds out is Ikuina). From the night of the incident, he starts receiving anonymous bouquets, eventually realizing they’re from Ikuina, also catching him as the one behind the rumours.
Ikuina volunteers to be one of Towa's models for his paintings, as he is a huge fan of his work - "When I first laid eyes on your work, I was struck to my core... It was love at first sight. That's how impactful it was to me. I don't know if I can even describe it in words... It pierced right through my heart." (I'M SORRY? FUCK). Towa agrees, deeming him interesting enough to try and they agree to go back to Ikuina's apartment where UGHHH
tehy like. after the hottest foreplay ever like. ikuina is super attracted to towas scars, especially the one on the center of his chest, they REOPEN IT and and towa cuts a mirrored one on ikuina's chest and and they start basically scissoring their scars and holy shit my peanits is Up. I Can't Do This Anymore
do we think sunday’s ever seen gallagher in his dreams post-penacony quests… would he believe it was the “real” gallagher coming to visit him, or would he only deem it something out of his imagination that stems from him missing him (whether he’d admit it or not)
Kou.. I need your super strong brain power.. Do you have any tips on how to start a fic? 😭
-⚔️
Ough very open question, you might have to want to specify pookie...
Okay, I'll try to help as much as I can here, but then if you want a clear response you might want to dm me! I can help you better if I can handle this with you guiding me personally through your problem.
I'll tell you how I personally start a fic.
First things first: prompt/idea.
I always want to have a prompt or a general idea of what I want to write.
Second: structure.
How do I write it? First or third person? I create a list of the various scenes I need to write for the plot to make sense. I write down the general plot for reference of what I'm going to write, I organise the list of scenes that is in direct relation with it and then write down the pace of the story (where does the narration start to pick up velocity or, on the contrary, where it starts to slow down).
Third: draft.
After all of this, I start jotting down anything that comes to mind. I usually want to go from the start scenes, but it hurts nobody to start from a random scene that might be at the end of the fic, or right in the middle of the plot. Just stay consistent with the storyline, and you should be fine.
Fourth: editing.
Lord above I hate this. Mostly because I edit a lot as I write and it takes time and effort to reread everytime what you wrote and then correct it.
So... I don't edit only once... I edit multiple times as I write, and then I edit three last times when I have the end product of the draft, and I still miss some mistakes here and there. Sometimes I need the help of my friends, usually, I have one friend in particular who is almost always available to beta.
I try not to bother them too much though, betaing fics is already a big job by itself, so I either edit by myself or I ask another person for help sometimes... Though I have to admit, I am quite stubborn so I will try my best to write and edit alone (never works out 💀).
That's how I do it, and mind you, my fic writing is slightly more complicated because I need more steps in between so I can prioritise the various scenes and also don't forget the whole thing. Especially with longer plots, I need a whole document of references.
This is mainly why you should dm me, because at that point, I can help you personally.
In the meantime, have a good day!!!
omega tranquilizer anon presents themselves once more in hopes of being tranquilized to celebrate the new year, albeit a bit late. also because i re-read the yuri argenthill vampire fanfic -💉
in my head argenti can drink red wine like water, without as much as even getting tipsy, but the second he downs a shot, be it tequila, vodka or something else, he's in a COMA. down on the floor, hitting the Peter Griffin pose. heck, if he so much as drinks white wine he'll become an incoherent mess
only explanation for this is... something something... 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓘𝓭𝓻𝓲𝓵𝓪
as for boothill, the alcohol is much harder (impossible unless otherwise desired) to get to him since his blood system is not connected to his stomach in the necessary way, but regardless, i do think his drink of choice would be Whiskey or Jaeger (ew)... maybe some types of liquor as well – beer is always a great choice too
as for his tolerance, he would need to actively introduce alcohol into his bloodstream for it to take effect, where it would likely be efficiently cleared out, so the extent of its effect would depend directly on the quantity and concentration of how much he uses, but its duration would be relatively short. this can be both a blessing and a curse... still deciding between the two
PS: Boothill is a sentimental drunk, while Argenti is a sleepy drunk
you mentioned the idea of argenti having a cat that’s so similar to boothill and smug about having his attention, but what about the opposite 😭 boothill somehow ending up with a cat that’s so much like argenti and also not even realizing it
when you asked me for my @ back then i didn't actually think it was genuine, but more like, a rethorical... figure of speech... point of emphasis type thing (• ▽ • ;)
i never really went out of my way to keep it a secret – i just think it’s more fun this way! letting you shape your own idea of Star Anon; someone who shares their thoughts and views with you while selfishly waiting for your responses, all while hidden behind the thin curtain of anonymity.
there's nothing to say that the reveal wouldn't be a letdown as well; after all, who am i to predict if you’d have preferred the mystery in the long run? haha it's not that deep but i do enjoy the immersion sometimes (✯ᴗ✯)
but i guess my artstyle not being consistent did help a bit, for we are mutuals haha >﹏<
I'm definitely making this far more dramatic than it needs to be, but honest to god, it's so much fun this way. everything I've done up to this point has been purely for my own amusement – there's no deeper motive behind it. staying anon keeps the mystery and maintains the fun all the same, but revealing myself would bring its own excitement, by which I mean, seeing your reaction. Did you see it coming? We haven’t talked much, so does it surprise you? Are you disappointed? Would our interactions change now, or would it stay the same?
haha maybe i sounded like a weirdo, but i assure you it's all harmless fun (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
(i did see and greatly enjoy the Very unexpected reaction to my last submission btw it was very funny to see!)
that's many words just to say that if you want my @ just say the word! your wish is my command (。•̀ᴗ-)☆
I remember, a bit ago, I searched around for you in a curious attempt to actually understand who was dropping those masterpieces in my strawpage only to come back bare handed.
Fun fact: I have a horrible eye for artstyles, I continuously swap artists, even without meaning to, and I always end up apologising 100+ times because oh my god, how in the fuck did I not recognise this artstyle (fun fact number two: it happened that I did this two times to my artist friend and again, I had to apologise because jesus christ, how did I manage to not recognise the style. I still get clowned for it, but in a friendly way, which is completely okay in my perspective because it is said jokingly and we all have a laugh out of my blindness for artstyles 😭)
So you know, an idea popped into my brain when you drew that Boothill in a dress, with Argenti right next to her. You qrted, I thought I recognised the style but then again... Horrible eye... I did not trust myself to judge.
After the tension I got from other people in the fandom, I started to trust less and less people, and unfortunately, you did start interacting with me during that period, which was very bad timing 😭 if you found me cold, I assure you, I did not do it on purpose.
I found our interactions under my posts pretty nice, what helped me to pin point you was how you replied to me. The way you express yourself was the same as the inboxes you sent and I already had a target on you, so this didn't really help your case neow did it-
Plus, people recognised you are romanian. You sent calculus stuff on my strawpage as well, so one would just have to look at your profile and the info would match. Let's say that all that combined helped me a lot to just pinpoint you, however I still wasn't sure.
That's why I asked for the @ because it would've broken my heart to actually not be able to see who I was talking to.
I am not disappointed in the least, actually, I'm extremely happy and grateful. We did talk once in dms I remember.
Just now, I wanted to try to scout my moots one last time before actually giving up and asking you the @ and just then I was like "hm... Let's check Zec one last time, before I give in" and my oh my, wasn't I happy to find first the argenthill animals inbox you sent me in reply to Hydro, and then one of the inboxes of fem argenthill with that star right beside it.
So no, to answer you, I am definitely not disappointed nor sad to discover that someone so talented was right beside me the whole time and that I actually had them hanging around me even if I acted awkward because of my trust issues. I found it sweet, if you ask me. And I'd actually like to thank you for it, however, don't let me stop you from having fun, I do understand that me discovering it could take the magic away from it, but I did enjoy this a lot. Maybe for the sake of old times, if we want to be dramatic, I'd love to have this to continue. However! I do have some things to tell you, because you might be happy to know them, so do contact me as soon as you finish reading this 😭
Other than that, don't let me keep you, Star, I'm happy to know that my reactions were actually funny and were not seen as harassment, I thought about it afterwards and I did shit myself a little bit because um. YEAH! ANYWAY!
Would our interaction change? I don't know, we'll have to find out I guess :D I'm happy to discover if you ask me
argenthill are so beautiful as a couple it’s actually crazy. and the concept of a knight and a cowboy in general is so… that’s some good food. such a gorgeous pair, i need to destroy them (affectionately)
these argenthill animations fed me so well and now i need hyv to see how much people love them so they add more canon interactions in-game ohhhh i feel so sick to my stomach. i can’t believe i woke up to them flirting all over my screen
I regrettably didn’t get to send this last night, but Happy New Year, dear. Sending you wishes of endless joy, love, and blessings into the new year, with only good omens guiding your path.
happy happy new year :D thank you for all the laughs, tears, yuri… and sha-
preteen boothill is just soooooo cute he would be bratty to everybody but his big brother

Boothill and argenti ballroom dancing, gliding across the floor, time slows down, the music gets lower, than Argenti takes Boothill’s hand to his mouth, kisses his knuckles, than turns his hand over, gently kissing and licking into the circle indent (whatever it is) on the palm of his hand, and than kisses all the way up his arm until he gets to his shoulder, than pulls him in for a kiss, never breaking their dance (bonus if they’re both wearing dresses - 🧌
