Fandom: Final Fantasy XII
Characters/Pairings: Basch & Penelo, mainly.
Rating: G - Tish
Spoilers/Warnings: In a Post-Canon setting where Basch may or may not have been exonerated, but it doesn't particularly matter here, I think.
Word Count: 1800 (8 Drabbles, 2 Doubles, 2 Triples)
Summary: At an Imperial gala in Archades, Basch escorts the lovely Penelo and...things happen. Stop at Part 3 if you want to keep it innocent, keep reading if you want to intimately scratch my brain.

Creative Progress? CREATIVE PROGRESS!
Aug. 9th, 2025 04:52 pmhaunted_cherriesSo out of curiosity (while I get my drawing skills up, at least), I went looking to see if there were MMD models for Ren and Nagisa b/c I at least know my way around the program from having used it way back in the day. (I also plan to make them in Paralives when that comes in December, but STILL xD)
I FOUND THEM.
escuse me while I relearn the program and POTENTIALLY MAKE 3D RENAGI ART I AM LOSING MY MIND
Also made progress on a bunch of my ReNagi drafts (b/c I have WAY TOO MANY at this point and I need to stop feeding the GAPING MAW of the WIP Demon xD), so I'll hopefully get around to posting those soon! I might stagger it since I don't wanna spam DHJKDHSJKDS but I WILL say I at least appreciate folks for indulging me in my craziness about them!! I just love them so so much!! ; u;
This also leaves it open for me to grab Leona’s and Malleus' MMD models, too... 🤔

Aug. 9th, 2025 11:25 amscifirenegadeSince Alamy deleted the Ida Lupino and Conrad Veidt having a time seperately either before or after their A Woman's Face radio recording, it's now on the Internet Archive :)
chiaroscuros on Pillowfort shouted out the Festival Internacional de Cine Recobrado de Valparaíso. Liebe macht blind has been uncovered, an almost-pristine copy even, and it's going to premiere there. Seems like a fun film. Connie is ridiculous.
During a convo withliadt, I was reminded of something that apparently Connie told Paul Henreid, about only taking the role of Strasser for the money (to give to the Brits, probably). As I tried finding the source, we got this instead.
- Round Up the Usual Suspects: the Making of Casablanca: Bogart, Bergman, and World War II
Files, which are an absolute mess. Bet the "pro-Axis" thing is just plain xenophobia (ya know, ew German), and bet that, had he lived and stayed in America, he would be grey-or-blacklisted like many of his buddies. I'm now scared for Lili (she became an agent in the film industry).

As I tried finding the source, we got this instead.Conrad Veidt's [FBI] files manage to have their cake and eat it too. Veidt is accused of having pro-Axis leanings and of being associated with fervent anti-Fascists.
The day that Veidt finished work on Casablanca, July 20, 1942, he had plans for the evening. According to FBI file No. 100-3514, Veidt was to be a speaker at the Free Peoples' Dinner held at the Beverly Hills Hotel under the auspices of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee and the Council on African Affairs. Guests included the mayor of Los Angeles, the vice-consul of the USSR, Charles Laughton, Major William Wyler, and an FBI agent who detailed the pro-Russian sentiments of the guest of honor, Paul Robeson. Although Veidt's name was on the program, he never showed up. He may have gone out to celebrate the end of his role in Casablanca or simply gone home to bed. But the fact that he was expected to appear is on file forever.

Aug. 8th, 2025 09:48 pmhaunted_cherriesHAPPY FANNISH 50 FRIDAY!! I am fresh from a nap with SPOOKY TIEMS
21. Have you ever had to stop playing a game because it was too scary?
YES, YES, AND YES. I saw this question and IMMEDIATELY went back to my days with the first Resident Evil, and anyone’s whose anyone will probably know EXACTLY what scene I’m getting ready to talk about.

Thought Too Much and Made Myself SAD :D
Aug. 8th, 2025 05:34 pmhaunted_cherriesNot a Reddit post having me feeling self-conscious but anyways please know that you're never obligated to read my stuff, nor am I entitled to your time in such a way. The last thing I want is to share my writing with someone and they didn't like it and didn't know how to tell me/didn't want to tell me out of fear of upsetting me. ; u;

The Heatwave Persists but I STAY SILLY
Aug. 7th, 2025 12:58 pmhaunted_cherriesI think it's INCREDIBLY telling that I was stuck on a boss in Persona 5X yesterday and once I put Ren in the party (and actually leveled my good DPS some more xD) we won...I'M JUST SAYIN I might've won that fight on the wings of ReNagi's love I'M JUST SAYIN....
My ship adoration shenanigans aside, I actually managed to get a bit of writing done this week (aka Trishelle was ABSOLUTELY supposed to be working on finishing up OC side stories and instead started drafting a few more ReNagi WIPs like an absolute CLOWN)!! xD We'll honestly see how this goes since I've been hella low energy the last few days, so if I get another "fuck it, we ball" wave, I'm just gonna see how much I can get done in that phase. xD
Also apparently Blaugust is a thing? I might try and participate for a bit! Not like I don't post almost daily as is, but it would be nice to try it and see if I like it, at least! One of my goals for Sunshine Revival WAS to write more, so I don't wanna do Past Me a disservice. xD
Happy Friday eve, folks!! We're almost there!!

Costco Cookie During Ye Olde ReNagi Hours
Aug. 3rd, 2025 05:43 pmhaunted_cherriesidk what they putting in these Costco cookies but they got my ass HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER 🥰😋🤤
Anyways I’m sorry can I just share a passage from my current ReNagi WIP for a second b/c I wrote this at 3AM and now that I’m re-reading it I’m MELTING (just like Nagisa after Ren said this OSJFIDODJFID xD)
Saw prompt post from a writer I follow on Pillowfort and got inspired by the prompt “You make me feel like I’m home”! The entire fic is still WIP, but I really loved this passage and wanted to share!!
I'm even getting a comm to go alongside this fic I'M CRAZY (I'm sorry I keep going insane over them, I will ABSOLUTELY go crazy about ReNagi again in 1-3 business days HJDKHSJKDS)

“I don’t need an apartment to tell me what I already know.”
Nagisa immediately raised an eyebrow to the air, a smile unfurling on his lips. “Oh yeah? And what’s that?”
“You feel like home. Home to me is wherever you are, and always will be.” The words are immediate, not laced with Ren’s usual hesitation, words from the heart that he couldn’t hide anymore.
He’d always tried running from the truth before—realizing that he could no longer imagine a world that didn’t have Nagisa in it—but being able to bask in that truth like the warm sun after shivering in cold meant so much more.

July 2025 Update
Aug. 3rd, 2025 09:13 amravenousravishingThe writing update I have for today is not the one I wanted to have. I wanted to waltz in and proudly announce I’d met my 10 session goal for several months. Instead, I am here to report I’ve had months where I wrote 0 times at all.
It’s been a rough semester. The accelerated format of Summer has been frustrating. It isn’t an insanely short semester, just x1.5 faster, but that .5 has an impact when you’re me. And being me means you already struggle with keeping up during a full length semester.
I don’t want to wallow in the negativity. Instead, I will proudly announce a new thing in my life: Linux!
