hello I'm August domino, a sad, lonely, schizophrenic millionaire. I gained alot in my life and lost way more but my life was terrible not because of the circumstances life put me through but because of the way I perceived things.
from being an unwanted kid to being adopted by one of the richest families in the world you would think my life took a good path but no it didn't infact the path began to crumble in my hands.
that's why I say "Maybe if I had used different paint the picture would have been different".

RF Wally Darling x Reader || "Inside the Factory"
! Wally AU credits: @Xscapee ! Go support their work ! "Why do you need me here, Dr. Darling? Tell me the truth." "Because I could never imagine my life without you in it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You had everything you could've needed. Two loving fathers, a happy home, a job harvesting crops for your small village, everything was fine until you were taken into captivity as a test subject for the Rainbow Factory, a company that secretly used living and nonliving beings and drained the color out of them to create rainbows. All for the best, all hidden deep in a forest. After being in captivity for a few days, having seen enough, you decided to take a new route. You faced the head scientist himself, Dr. Walden Darling, and demanded life. "Join me, and you'll never have to worry about death again." You were given the chance to become the head scientist's assistant, and you immediately took the job if it meant saving your life. Working with Wally was no walk in the park, and just being in the factory drained you and killed you inside. So with hidden help, you decided to escape. And perhaps, one day, destroy the factory for good. ! TW: human test subjects, employee x boss relationship, moderate swearing, moderate intimacy, trauma, gore, violence, child death, suicide !

Megamind X Child!Reader
Sometimes all it takes is one inconceivable choice to change the course of another person's life, the way your story begins is a prime example. Metro City... it was just that, a city named after its own hero, Metro Man. You live there as well, but not in the same way regular kids do. You were all alone. Just you, your skateboard, and several cans of paint, that was really all you needed. Every day was mostly the same, living your life as a young graffiti artist on the run, but it wasn't without reason, your inspiration for everything was centered on one individual; The blue-brained super-villain that went by the name Megamind. He was your idol, your role-model, heck, your entire world. You'd give anything to have a chance at being recognized for your work. To be in his presence, even if it was just for a few moments... But unbeknownst to you, that opportunity was fast approaching, and the events to come would change your life for the better, rather than worse. -Welcome to my second X Reader! :) Happy reading!-Complete
Volcano Meets Tonardo (gxg)
We are told that if it's not perfect it's not enough. We are called insane for breaking every rule. We are told that we should change and only then we'll be happy. We are convinced that there is no going back and hell is our final destination. They have a blueprint of how our lives will end and never a solution to better the plan. I say there is a way out every mess, an alley to heaven. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to accept defeat and let her lead. She thought I was perfect when everybody else didn't. I fell in love with a soul like mine. My Tonardo... ______________________________________ This is not some holy holy book, It's not rated PG nor Family friendly.

The Loving Silence
It's never easy being an artist. No matter what, you have to create. But Rue wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. The world didn't understand him. He didn't belong anywhere. But art? In the world of art, he was free and he was happy. Nothing felt better than to set his emotions free and simply create, without rules or restraints. He was fine, even alone, as long as he had art. Or at least he was, until he met him. Best ranking: #3 mentalhealth out of 56.4K stories #13 society out of 17.1K storiesComplete
My Thoughts ♡
Just a random girl who has a shattered life 🫂 I post almost daily and if not I'm sorry for not being so active. Just keep a little patience and I'll be back with some awesome content ✧ About me: A girl who has picture perfect love but somehow ends up getting her heart broken ♛ What made me want to write? Wanted to make other people feel that they're not alone with all these messed up feelings ✿
Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
