“Happy Birthday, Sir!”

"Keenie, my friend, my birthday is in April!" he laughed, embracing the fallen Cherub with a smile.

But he could not resist her cheer and her joy, infectious as it always had been. The girl was without compare, a light that warmed the soul as soon as one drew close. "But thank you.. none the less. Are you doing anything for Sinsmas? I am told it's a popular holiday in Hell."

Hey man take my name off this, it's not cool and I don't want to be associated in any of this anymore. Same goes for Zigg, Nauga, and Draig. Honestly? Same goes for the rest of the people you name dropped, it really just feels like you're trying to drag us back into your shit. If you ignore this or block me, I'll just block evade until you listen to me.

I was asked for an apology. I gave one. I'm not even sure what you guys want anymore. I get told if I make another apology the harrassment will stop. But now here you are telling me that apologizing is the opposite of what you want?

Can you guys make up your minds? Please? I just want to be able to work again. I just want to be left alone. I just want the blogs taken down, for my friends to get left alone. I want the harrassment to stop.

The draculina would be visited, seemingly at random, by a small ball of iridescent but soft light - which passed by one of the windows of her home. It darted around for a while, stopping at the door and seemingly attempting to... crawl underneath the door? It was very much like seeing a cat reach its paw through the impossibly small space before it quickly gave up and wooshed away.

"..?" Her ears perked with interest, feeling a small pull to follow the light. Whatever it was, wherever it was leading.. She couldn't help but need to know.

It wasn't long before she was trying to chase it down, heels clatting on the hardwood floors of her home with every step.

i'm sure i can guess, but. thoughts on the kotlc smut debate? do you think it's appropriate?

I'm not interested in getting into discourse, so I'll try and keep this short and sweet (also, none of this is angry or targeted at anyone and I’m fine talking about it—I’m just not interested in senseless, unproductive arguing!!)

As the subjects are fictional, I don't care. They aren't real people. Smut written about them does not impact or hurt them in any way.

What someone chooses to write about and why is not my business. If it's smut written by teens about teens as a means of exploring sexuality, if its a means of processing experiences or abuse, if its for fun--whatever it is, that's their business. Including for adult authors. They can have just as valid motivations, not that they need to justify themselves. They literally cannot hurt these characters

As for real people, such as fans, no one is forced to read it. If you find yourself in the middle of something that makes you uncomfortable, you can stop reading and walk away. And yes, there may be initial discomfort as you realize--for which I am sympathetic, but it happens and that is on you to manage, not the author.

Authors are also not responsible for rule breakers who access sites they're not old enough for. We're responsible for tagging and adhering to the rules of hosting sites

Also, smut as a whole is a valid form of writing/creation. Sexuality is a normal (note: I am not saying it is the ONLY normal. ace here), widespread part of life, and sexual gratification and enjoyment are morally neutral

Am I personally gonna write any kotlcrew smut? No. Am I gonna read any? Probably no. Not my kind of kotlc fic. I by and large don't enjoy it. But fic writers who chose to engage with the subject here are not writing about real people, and not responsible for real people's comfort with their work beyond tagging.

Smut is always going to exist. It is safer for all parties if it is freely allowed to exist so no one has to disclose potentially very personal justifications (e.g. processing abuse/experiences), and so it can be properly tagged and avoided by those who want/need to--otherwise individuals will not tag appropriately in the interest of not being taken down, and that helps no one.

and since this was brought up last time: this is my stance. I can't tell you how to think, and I don't decide for anyone else what is right from wrong. i can only share my reasonings

Oh also: I don’t hold it against anyone who’s disgusted or uncomfortable with it! That’s fine. I don’t enjoy it either! Valid! But that doesn’t mean we can say it shouldn’t exist or harass people who write it (not saying anyone has, this is just addressing the broad question)

3 and 16 for the costume design asks.

3. What is your favorite era for historical costume?

let’s talk about men’s costumes!

I have so much love for the quintessential Stuart cavalier look, but it rarely gets a mention among some of the more popular eras, and I’m here to fix that! from the hats and cloaks to the boots and especially our beloved open-necked white shirts, the stereotypical dashing romance novel hero owes a LOT to this era— so if the sheer artistry of the lace and velvet and embroidery is enough to make you swoon (understandable!), you’re in luck, because these guys will probably catch you. maybe. watch your purse just in case.

16. Name an actor and a costume you would like to see them wear.

if I saw Emma D’arcy wearing any of the above, I would simply perish from this earth.

Nigel and Alex have their rare moments of intimacy behind closed doors. Lingering touches, and blazing warmth.

Wait you guys actually generate more then one reply at a time???

sure! its helpful. if an ai misses something in your original response, usually asking for a continuation of their reply will hit the missed mark. also helpful when you get a reply that takes you off-guard with the prose or humour or the raunchiness but doesn't forward the plot! continuing the bots response usually shoves things along while letting you include aforementioned thing.

warning though: i don't like doing this for more than two replies, because ai definitely needs continued user input. it cannot carry all by itself. alone, it'll get dull and repetitive fast. its why some people will experience roleplays that are lacking/can't beat the filter. you really do have to take the lead!

"Y'know I still think Adammas has a better ring to it."

"Bring it up to Dad, not me, Adam. He's the one with final say."

He scoffed, biting the tip off a magen david cookie. "It's not even my actual birthday anyhow. I was born in April."

[patchs-muse-hub]

I remember we stopped being friends two years ago due to my own former toxicity and my “immaturity”.

Now I’m grown and you seemed to have regressed, using your disability as a scapegoat to deflect the blame anyone throws your way. I had problems and changed, while you’ve cornered yourself and can only point at others.

I’d say wish I never met you, Shiloh, but you introduced me to people who I still care about. Got me interested in things I’d never considered. Hell, you shocked me into maturing and becoming a better person.

You were my hero, Shiloh.

Now, you can’t hurt me anymore.

The fact that you think this is mature at all says more than you think.

If you genuinely were the grown, mature, healthy adult you believe yourself to be, this would not feel necessary to you at all. Healthy adults don;t go around to those who they perceive have hurt them and rub their 'maturity' and 'healing' in their faces. The need to prove yourself as 'better' is inherently childish.

I have left everyone alone. What few people had not yet blocked me were sent my final apologies and goodbyes, and I have departed willingly and moved on. I mention none of the people who wronged me by name anywhere on here because I feel like calling them out would make me a hypocrite.

Why message me? Why send this cruel, scathing, hurtful message if you are so much more 'mature'?

The truth is, you idolizing me as some kind of 'hero' was only ever going to get you hurt. I am a flawed person. I am emotionally fragile, I am mentally and physically ill, I am opinionated and obnoxious, I am provocative and even problematic. You thinking I was some perfect hero and placing me on that pedestal is your problem. Not mine.

I'm sorry I hurt you. I take accountability for that harm. I hope that your life gets better and that one day, the hurt I caused you no longer affects you.

But this message just proves you haven't changed at all.

"You know, I like a girl with a bit of bite~" ♱

from: @martyr-of-paradise-az

"Cute. I bet you think you're the first human to make that joke."

[wormchamp72]

I don't know if you're trolling or not, but it feels that way. Whether you meant harm or not, continuing to post about a ship and even going as far as to putting up a poll about "which ship is the best" isn't something you should do when trying to "apologize".

It especially doesn't look good when you admit the tags of your posts that you haven't seen the anime. Posting about it an anime or the ships you don't know is something you shouldn't done in the first place. From my experience, people who have done that do it to cause trouble.

You could have just deleted the first post and called it a day. And if you were going to put out an apology post, you could have just said "I'm sorry for posting that, it won't happen again" and then nothing else.

I'm not here to preach to you or anything, but just saying going forward, maybe stick to the fandoms you do know and are genuinely interested in. Don't get into the anime or the ship just because of this situation or like a ship because of research.

How do I even begin.

You have clearly misunderstood EVERYTHING I stand for. You are lucky I am good at containing that strange Jeff the Killer feeling (the feeling he feels when he is angry) or else you would be HUMILIATED in front of my followers. Take ONE LOOK at my blog and you will see that I am not trolling.

First off, I did not delete the post because I believe in accountability. I will not scrub my past sins from this earth and act as if I am an angel upon it. I am flawed. I am human. I am Wormchamp72. Look upon me and despair.

My apology post was 100% /SRS. If you had even an OUNCE of reading comprehension, you would understand that my post was embracing ALL ships and fans. I could not simply have said "I'm sorry for posting that, it won't happen again" because that would not have been enough. And it would not have reflected my change of heart.

As for the poll---DID YOU EVEN READ THE BOTTOM TEXT??????????????? Because I'm assuming you didn't, here it is:

Now, take a nice, long look at what you picked and think about why you did. Did you think the other ships were "cringe"? Did you think yours was superior because it isn't "problematic"? Shame. Shame on you.

CLEARLY this is encouraging people 2 reflect on their own biases and baseless hatred towards others based on their shipping preferences.

And yeah. I haven't watched MHA/BNHA (it is not personally interesting 2 me). But I respect the passion that fans put into their art. I respect their grit. Especially I respect the fans who aren't afraid 2 go against the grain...like Bakudekus.

I am not interested in MHA. But I am interested in starting a movement.

SO THIS STOPS NOW. No more shaming others for their interests. No more calling others "cringe" for liking things like Jeff the Killer or Slitherio. No more bullying. This is a promise. And Wormchamp72 never goes back on his word. I will never betray others because I know firsthand the sting of betrayal (RE: Maximus P.).

This is about breaking norms. This is about radical acceptance.

Even if you do not ship Bakudeku, you can BE a Bakudeku. We are ALL Bakudekus.

[bookwyrminspiration]

so we know unicrons and alicorns exist in the kotlc universe but like. are there pegasi??? i feel like logically there should be since an alicorn is a mix of a unicorn and pegasus but we never get any mention of them???? are there just no pegasi???? im losing my mind why are there no pegasi. this feels unbalanced.

victor I need you to stop being wrong it's hurting me </3

anyway there canonically are pegasi! mentioned at the very beginning of Exile in comparison to Silveny:

It wasn't a pegasus--she knew from the books she'd studied at Havenfield that those were smaller and huskier, with deep blue spots and midnight blue manes. (Exile 13)

We just haven't revisted them like ever, which is a shame. We've got Stina as the unicorn girl, Sophie as the alicorn girl. Now we need another girl whose name starts with S to complete the horse girl trifecta.

3 and 4 for the costume design ask game.

3. What is your favorite era for historical costume?

EARLY RENAISSANCE. SPECIFICALLY ITALIAN.

The Borgias is of course le ne plus ultra of this era but Medici the Magnificent isn’t too shabby either. rich colors AND gold AND pearls AND brocade AND slashed sleeves all wrapped up and presented in constant glorious golden sunlight is literally what God invented eyes to see. I’m even willing to overlook all this empire-waisted anti-hourglass propaganda, that’s how down bad I am.

4. What is your least favorite era for historical costume?

Generic Medieval Drab. you know the kind. desaturated af and gray/brown color graded until it’s the sartorial equivalent of a clinical depression diagnosis. I’m not even going to bother posting photos because looking at it upsets my humors.
