YO it's been so long but I just want to say i still really adore your writing style. Sometimes I'll remember your KOTM fics exist and re-read every fic in the master list again in like a day. Idk, there something intriguing about how you write language and culture differences, between humans, titans, and the different extraterrestrials.
(Honestly sometimes these fics remind me of alter-human experiences, which might explain my attachment for ur fics lol.)
Anyway, I was wondering what your plan was for the series? (And if u were just waiting for prompts, I got ideas. just wanted to make sure first lol)
Anyway thanks for tolerating my rambling 😅
Oh, thanks so much!! I'm glad you still enjoy them! :) I think that's some of my best work to date on writing inhuman/alien cultures.
Okay so, here's how writing works for me: I pour brain gasoline into my writing engine and then the words go brrr.
A huge, long-term writing project is like an SUV. I have to pour a whole lot of gasoline into the engine, but then it can go very far.
I get brain gasoline from things that mentally energize me. These things include going out to restaurants, cafes, and libraries to write; going to movie theaters and concerts; doing other art projects (like leatherworking or sewing) that require going out to craft stores or classes; getting furniture & decor to improve my home; going to festivals, conventions, or other fun events; and even just getting to walk around malls and downtown areas.
I ain't done shit since early 2020! Any writing energy I had toward the start of quarantine has gradually depleted. I know most of the planet has gone back to treating covid like it's no big deal because it's not as fatal anymore, but long covid is still a thing and my household has health conditions that would make gallivanting around in public actively self-destructive, so I still ain't doing shit.
So it's not a matter of not having ideas. I actually have a list of—let me check—twelve fics on my to-write list for the Rodorah plotline, and that's just to finish the current plot arc before launching the next phase of the plot.
But I'm just not getting the kind of brain gasoline I need to run the SUV-sized engine of a project like No Kings Only Monsters. I'm getting enough gasoline to power a moped. Right now my moped is a writing/art roleplay blog in another fandom where I'm working on an ongoing plot. For me a roleplay blog takes a lot less sustained mental energy than writing whole fics, much less a running series of fics.
So, the technical term for what I'm doing right now is "biding my time." I kind of just have to wait until I reach a more energizing period of my life, and look for opportunities to make that happen.
Within a couple months I'm going to be finishing up the most writing-intensive part of my current RP blog plot, and (fingers crossed) I'm going to be moving into a house. (I bought a house.) The new house is over twice as big as my apartment, and I actually OWN it, which means I can do a LOT to make it my own. I'm hopeful that the process of moving will energize me enough to start working on the place (painting walls, getting furniture, etc), and then the ongoing progress of fixing up my place will further energize me enough to return to fic writing.
That doesn't mean I'll immediately hop back on No Kings Only Monsters. I first want to do some more recent fic ideas that have been percolating in the back of my head. But No Kings Only Monsters is on my "by god, I'm gonna finish this" writing to-do list, so after I've gotten back in the swing of writing things I may revisit a writing strategy that served me well in 2018-2019: "write X amount of words on this project and as a reward you can spend the rest of the day writing whatever you want."
I'm hopeful for the future! But for now, I just can't focus on something that big.
(Hold on to your ideas though; flinging them at me now when I don't have any brain gasoline wouldn't do much good, but I'm not opposed to someday taking reader requests again.)

It really is fucked up that traditional dating sites died out and all that's left are these dogshit apps cloning each other or the bigger product.
You used to, y'know, make a profile, answer some generated questions, and then...you message people.
That was it. Ya just messaged someone. It was simple. It was easy. It was basically a dating Tumblr blog without reblogs. Sure, it was shit, it hardly was worth navigating, but it worked? You message them, they may message ya back, ya ask each other some questions and decide to continue to hang or not.
I met several people off PoF, mostly good experiences. I tried Tinder and genuinely got frustrated that this was what PoF turned into at some point. Bro...what the fuck is this... Why would anyone use this? It's not effective, you'll never find people on there swiping one at a time barely registering the person as a person, and ya can't message people? Without them accepting a friend invite? Tf is this, the Nintendo Wii?
It's set up with more protection than anything for a child. Like nah man, I ain't gonna climb some gorl's fence and pass their minefield to talk to them. It's creepy the way it's set up honestly. Dehumanizes people into a format with barrier of entry, is the best way to put it.
At that point I basically gave up on finding women and moved to Grindr, because guess what! You can message people and occassionally someone sends me their dick. As god intended.
Truly astonishing that technology slid so far back that communicating with people becomes harder and harder when initially it couldn't have been easier. We used to talk to each other. Now we just...don't?
Like in general. Talking seems dead online. I don't believe in dead internet theory, I simply believe people have gotten used to hopping on, expelling some anger, and moving on from all of it, not a care in the world while still being so pissed off. As tho learning would hurt more than staying pissed off your whole life.
Truly think dating statistics went down when dating sites started to fall in line with tindr, and apart of me thinks, it's apart of a bigger problem with the internet and the world that I cannot word yet. Something something "Nobody is cognitive of another life anymore" grumble grumble.
#tindr#dating sites#bro I feel absolutely horrible for straight people#ya'll're just fuuuuuuucked not having a Grindr of any variety#grindr#socializing is dying#Ya hear about people giving up on dating all the time#occassionally I'd hear this reasoning and damn if it doesn't make sense#ya just get bored with the concept of finding someone#like ya want love but companies around the world have made that actively impossible#ya used to just message people#what the fuck happened

Aimed at COAD, PCU all Shitter Degens
I came back just to make this post so i can then dip again. Red Pill time: Yo im gon be real, i ain't played wow/RP'd on AD - wow in a year or two this is coming from somebody yall know i was part of RP Community for 8-9 years and coming back to see COAD/PCU posting makes me thankful I aint thankful because yall shittin on each other, I'm thankful because i ain't apart of that degen shit anymore, yall literally display the core definitition of "Failure to separate Character" and "OOC" you can't keep IC as IC and can't keep Warcraft as Warcraft. Yall literally RPing in a Fantasy game that dosen't exist thinking ur gaining +1 IQ from hunting each other over some nerdy ass online beef in a fantasy RP world that doesn't exist and it's goofy af to watch. Fr Imagine waking up, coming home from work and the first thing that crosses your mind isn't "Ayo, i should probably get some breakfast" or "Ayo I'm gon chill out, maybe hit "X" up to see what they're doing this weekend" it's the compulsive urge to hop online on some discord server or blog and post some degen post about something somebody's done in the past or has done at present on a fictional game. "H3h3h3 tyme to show the wurld haw bad these people awe!!!!" Literally the growing embodiment of late stage Psychosis, an inability to seperate the real world from a fantasy game to real life as to which said seperation contributes nothing to society or has any real life gains, RP gains or in game gains. You all need to touch grass i really feel for your all which is why i'm so thankful, most would argue "You can't say that I'm just passionate about the game and the community!!!" Which i get Wow RP/Lore is something I've always been a fan of and will continue to be a fan of and the community - nothing can compare. but let's be real this ain't passion it goes beyond that cancel me, come after me, report me, take what i say to heart, do what you gotta do i simply could not care - to tell you the truth, i couldn't give a shit, I'll always be real, so let's be real. What this is, is literally borderline obssessive autistic OOC beef that's developed into a full blown obsession in the community and an obssession between two distinct groups of people that simply do not like each other which is ultimately dividing yall and killing of said community which is why a lot of the OG's don't chill around anymore which in turn player after player follow suit. People make mistakes, people do shit things - sometimes those people do shit things intentionally and those mistakes aren't actually mistakes and it's a case of lil homies thinking their Jamal pulling out the 9's or they're "Him" when in real terms their actions gain them nothing in the community, nothing in RP, nothing in game - they're just some random ass goofy ass dude/girl in europe living rent free in somebody's head staring through a computer, rping in a game that dosen't exist as to which they have nothing to show for their actions in real life. The worse thing you can do is give these people attention, be it COAD, be it PCU be it some other shitter degen trying to make a name for themselves. When they realise how irrelevant they are and how less of a shit people give, they'll calm and check themselves. The take away from this if you are indeed a degen and have found this to be insulting, I'm afraid to inform you, you fr need to touch grass lil homie.
#Any other shitter Degen

how are you
not gonna lie, I'm having the time of my life right now :) shit's been crazy and I'm learning to enjoy things the way they are while still adding my own flair.
I know you're probably wondering about the future of this blog and if specific posts will have their 2nd or 3rd part, but it's truly TRULY up in the air. I've been busy with my own endeavors, and so has Admin 2.
I am no longer as heavily invested in kpop and its glamour, nor do I take the time to witness my faves' personal growth on Youtube or through social media anymore.
It was a realization that hit me one day, I had my post notifications on for all of my biases (and other celebrities) and I was getting so bothered with my phone vibrating constantly throughout the day. I was asking myself "do I really care or is kpop culture telling me I should care?"
And I will not be taking any slander in how much of a chokehold I was in, this ain't the first time ya'll are going to hear about a K-pop stan finally admitting it was a phase and that yes, we were influenced and pressured into K-pop stan culture as YOUNG AND IMPRESSIONABLE TEENAGERS but that's not the conversation I'm bringing up (and some of yall choose to continue to participate, I'm talking bout the ones who realize this shit is not "fun and playful" anymore the more your mind matures and the deeper you are into Kpop and the culture).
And as a heavily invested BTS ARMY, CHESIRE (rip), NCTZEN, ONCE, REVELUV, BLINK, and many more, I just couldn't keep spending so much time on figures that are literally not adding anything substantial to my current life. K-pop evolved into a form of escapism for me and I was ready to live in the moment.
I got into the world of Korean culture and pop at one of the lowest moments in my life that I can consciously remember and recall. So of course I made this genre, this culture, part of my core happiness during a period of personal devastation.
Post notifications from my faves would come as often as bad news and unfavorable moments. Without even knowing, I waited for the good news from K-pop to put the bandaid over the mental pain I endured from my day-to-day. I eventually became more hopeful and positive BECAUSE I looked forward to something so simple and insignificant as a "Thank you JAKARTA 💜💜💜💜💜💜" I'm not even from that place and I was just as elated (and jealous ofc) for the fans that got to see them.
In the same way Rap/Hip-Hop can be a way of life as well as change your outlook on life, and Metal/Rock can be a way of life, K-pop can also be a way of life and change your outlook on life.
But when I realized I don't need a bandaid or balm anymore, K-pop stopped becoming a focal point. It's my guilty pleasure on Youtube when I'm h*gh and my 500 hr K-pop playlist is now used for the rainy days I rarely have.
The moment was like, "Oh, it's just Haechan that posted," when it used to be "OMG HAECHAN POSTED AISUHDUISGIUE." I used to see one K-pop-related thing, and happily jump into a wormhole of Youtube videos, stan Twitter posts, and heated discussions on album theories.
My love for K-pop turned into appreciation for the good music I liked, not strict devotion to the artist. Because that's the reality of almost all art forms. See it for how it is and it's just like everything else; just attach meaning to it and now it's something special.
I'm just a fan of K-pop nowadays lol. I used to be so annoyed at know-it-all 2nd gen stans as a new K-pop stan, but look at me now. A know-it-all 3rd gen fan who looks at 4th gen with distaste lmao. But it is what it is. And 4th gen is a little... anyways...
BUT NOW I KNOW HOW 2ND GENERATION FANS FELT WHEN 3RD GEN CAME AROUND. And it's just because I grew out of it, K-pop will always be tailored to younger audiences and I'm well past that.
I sometimes listen to the Kpop ON playlist on Spotify, without bias (pun is definitely intended), and occasionally see that stan Twitter is the exact way I left it (they say the game doesn't change, just the players). I still get a little excited to see which new groups are about to debut, groups that i miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight wanna do some light research on just to remember what it felt like to be introduced to the new personality.
Nowadays, my thought's on what I hear or see are like this:
"Are there any new survival shows? I probably won't watch it, but what are yall saying about it now"
"..."
"FUCK I FORGOT JIN'S GOING TO THE MILITARY"
"...Why is (random group) still dropping music..."
"NOT YOU TOO HOBI"
"I wonder if Joy is still with Crush"
"I wonder when Jennie is gonna go solo"
And I don't indulge in these thoughts too much because it isn't as imperative to me as they used to be. I treat those thoughts just like any other thought that doesn't require my immediate attention. I'll always love my k-pop phase, but I'll never forget my roots! 2018 me would probably cuss me the fuck out if she found out I still haven't listened to Jimin's new song or listened to NCT 127's latest repackage (please tell me I didn't miss another release).
In conclusion, I began treating K-pop like any other genre;
I'm gonna keep talking my shit.
If there's good music, I'll listen and might playlist it.
If there's not, I'll keep it pushing.
Any interesting news? Lemme see what it's about.
I am not invested enough to create fanfic anymore.

1st Blog Post: So yesterday marked 5 months for me and my boyfriend. I know its not a super long time but it honestly feels like we've been together for yearsssssss. We have a love for each other that no one will ever be able to get in between. We take care of each other, support each other, motivate each other to do better and keep going. This is literally my Bestfriend. I can't picture life without him at this point. I've honestly only had 3 other actual relationships I haven't had too many boyfriends and they were all situations that ended pretty badly. But this time around ive found something different. Someone who I can be my self with at all times, reminds me how beautiful I am, picks me up when I'm down, is always there for me and always real with me. Like the love is real. I could go on for days! Lmao I remember at one point of time I started to hate the idea of a relationship. I felt like "F**k These niggas. They all ain't sh*t!, They all Lie!" after all I've been through. Tf? Every guy that was coming into my life was honestly just ruining it or just wasting my time and i didn't want that anymore. I've had relationships where I've been BROKEN. Completely lost myself and become an entirely different person. I've been depressed and you should never let a guy or anyone have that affect on you. I left my last relationship and didn't look back. I LOVED being alone. I learned how to love me 100% and take care of me and the way I feel before I try to take on anyone else and everything they have going on. I never could've thought I would find someone so perfect for me but I just remember praying that one day when it is the right time I wanted someone who truly loves me for me. And lets me be ME. See I was so clear on what I wanted from honesty, to being equal, doing right by each other and so many other things god blessed me with exactly what I asked for. I'm not a love guru or relationship expert or anything lol but one thing that I have learned about love and relationships though is that you have to be ready for it. You can't still be stuck on an ex, or living a life hopping from one person to the next all the time, priorities not together..... And expect to get a perfect relationship. And there is no "Perfect Relationship" ..My problem was I was always looking for love in the wrong places. I wanted to be loved and the problem with that is everybody's love isn't the right love for you. Everybody doesn't love and give out the same type of love that you do. I was always accepting people into my life rather than choosing them to be in my life... I was actually ready for a relationship this time around. I became the type of person that I would like to have in my life and that attracted it to my life. We actually chose each other. It gets better and better everyday and now were starting to reach the point where were out of our puppy love stages and we have times where were ready to knock each other out!!!!!! But our love never changes were always able to talk anything out and kiss and make up in the end. :) And that's exactly how it should be. Moral of the story: you don't go looking for love, you let it come to you. It will come! Be patient. Date! Have fun! Live your best life! Be 100% YOU and get comfortable with that. Figure out what makes you happy and trust me you will start to see the more you become content with self, the less bullsh*t you'll put up with from guys. You'll start to exit as soon as you get that first red flag. Live life, the right people will gravitate towards you❤ Hope this helped someone. Ask me any questions if you like!
-XOXO Andy💘
