So @askhomerungirl and I are engaged (yes, OOC-wise)

{Hey everyone! So, this is something that I've already shared on my main blog a while ago, but I figured I'd elaborate here because things all started on this blog so to speak.

Being in the Ososan fandom through this blog helped me meet people who, for some, became very dear friends, including @askhomerungirl 's mun, who later went on to become my queerplatonic partner... 6 years and a half ago already. I'd never mentioned it here but it's been a little while now, haha!

We're from different countries, so we're only able to see each other months apart and for only about 2 weeks at a time typically. Throw in a lot of happy moments together, plus a travel ban that lasted almost 2 years between our countries in reaction to the pandemic, and we've come to a point where we'd like to be able to be physically together on a more permanent basis than that, and as cliché at that is, marriage seems to be the most surefire way to make that happen.

So last month, on my latest visit to them, while we were in Disneyland to celebrate their birthday, I did the thing© at the end of the World Of Color water show – which, as they later pointed out, wound up being very on point for our respective ask blog characters, so, y'know, that works 🙈

So yeah! We're engaged now, and the next step will be months and months of immigration paperwork to have the right to marry in the same country to begin with. It's a very personal update, but y'know, considering the history and how somewhat fitting that is, I figured I'd share it here 🙈

I hope all of you are doing well – sorry I've been so sucky at responding to asks as always, but please know I always, always appreciate the kind words, and I wish you all the best! TwT}

Life update under the cut. Cw illness.

I'd like to start this off with an apology for all the threads and asks I still have to answer. I promise I'm not ignoring or abandoning any of them, but I also can't push myself to answer when I don't have the energy to because I know I will just burn out faster.

Now, onto the actual update. As some of you may know, I've been sick for quite some times now, and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I'm not able to get a doctor to check me out because of family reasons, but I'm hoping that taking it easier than I have will help. I'm doing everything I can to come back full swing, I promise.

What does this mean for my blogs? Well, it means I'm going to go on a semi-hiatus. I'll still be around to answer messages and send in memes, and maybe participate in dash comms, but I will not be posting anything. My queue is paused and I plan to reactivate it after I've finished all emptied my drafts and inbox.

I'll be working on doing so whenever I feel I can, which means you may not see a response to your thread or ask for months, and I deeply apologize for that.

Curate your space. If this news that it may be months before I start posting again upsets you, please do as you see fit.

Again, I'm sorry for the delays. Thank you for sticking with me this far, and I will try to fully be back soon.

greek mythology. what do you think of it. whos your favorite god.

🪙—

"I was never really into it.. but some of the stories sounded cool! Always had a fascination with Kronos.. or- well.. the God of Time, right? Is that what it is—"

"Anyways, as previously stated, I always found that story cool! I feel kinda bad for the kids.. it must've been terrifying for them. But that's just how it goes, I guess.. time eats all his children in the end, right?"

[ hi-ya!! I. Used to have a major hyperfixation on greek mythology. I was flabbergasted seeing all the greek mythology references in rtc,, ty for asking!! ^_^ ]

[quaranmine]

It's fine, Grian's preferred environment is being doomed by the narrative :3.

you're so right. torturing him in all my fanfics is good for him, actually,

[euthymiya]

The way someone just said “this is not ooc” unprovoked on my fic 😭

[ask-e123-omega]

do you ever feel jelous of metal sonic? eggman seems to love him like a son, how do you feel about that

EGGMAN DOES NOT HOLD ANY REGARD FOR HIS CREATIONS. METAL SONIC IS MERELY BETTER CONSTRAINED THAN MOST. HIS INFERIOR AI IS UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THESE FACTS.

YOUR IMPLICATION THAT I COULD BE "JEALOUS" OF SUCH A STATUS IS ILLOGICAL. YOU ARE PATHOLOGICALLY IGNORANT FOR SUGGESTING IT.

as if youd ever be able to post the photo of a partner when no one wants you

🌸✨Gosh, that’s such a super mean thing to say! I have plenty of admirers, they just haven’t been up to par! It’s such a shame, but as a certified cute girl it’s something I have to do! I thought you’d understand that perfectly! Sad face! ✨🌸

Mao Drabble; Looks

Author's Note: Asahi was hard for me to write, man

Tags: @mata-aetara-if

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mao glances across his bedroom, towards the plush seat Asahi sits on. He freezes at what he sees; dark eyes focused solely and fully on him, soft with affection, a serene little smile gracing his lips as he leans against the wall. Mao feels his face heating up quickly and his foot subconsciously twitches. “Asahi, stop looking at me like that,” He says gruffly, hurriedly going back to whatever he was supposed to be doing. Asahi’s mouth makes a ‘o’ then he flashes a somewhat bashful smile. “Like what?” He asks as he shifts, making the bed squeak slightly. 

“Like you love me,” He says before he can stop himself. Their eyes widen simultaneously. Mao bites his upper lip and covers his mouth with a hand as he tries to will himself into disappearing. Asahi’s flushed by now, the confession taking him by surprise. The two sit in awkward silence for a couple of beats. “But I do love you,” Asahi says finally, softly. The brunette whips to look at him, wild surprise caught in his eyes. He can’t believe he heard so much affection seeping out with those simple words, he wants to vomit. It makes him want to snuggle into the man's shoulder and rip his own hair out at the same time. It hurts, but he needs it desperately. He resents the soft look the ravenette is currently giving him. Asahi sees the mixed expression he’s making and rushes to try to smooth it over, “I’m sorry, I didn’t--”

“Stop talking, we’ve already said too much to each other to try to take any of it back,” Mao snaps. He takes a deep, stabilizing breath then asks “How long?”

“What?” Asahi asks, raising a brow. “How long… have you loved me?” He clarifies, eyes squinted and brows furrowed. The ravenette stops to think, looking off to the side. Then, he says, “.....A year or so now? Probably longer than that.”

Mao sighs, running a hand down his face. “....Fuck. I just…” He struggles to voice his thoughts. “It’s okay if you don’t love me back, Mao,” he says, worry staining his mannerisms. “That’s the problem here, Asahi. It’s not that I don’t love you, I just…. Don’t know if I’m ready….. For this,” His voice is breathy, he looks just as worried as the man across the room. Silence descends on the room, bordering on unbearably uncomfortable. “Can…. can we revisit this conversation? When I’m… ready?” Mao finally asks. Asahi immediately nods, “Of course! That’s okay, take your time, please.”

“I’m sorry, Asahi.”

“Don’t apologize, I don’t want to make you do something you’re uncomfortable with.”

“......Will you wait for me? Until then?”

“I’d wait forever for you if I have too, Mao.”

I think some of the arguments about fan interpretations of characters and OOCness forget a fundamental part of human nature which is this: each of us perceives the world and the people in it in slightly different ways based on our own experiences.

Most people have certain characteristics they consider fundamental to their Blorbo and some characteristics that are less important and could be changed, ignored, or scrapped for AU purposes. Unfortunately, which specific characteristics fall into which category are not going to be the same from person to person. Sometimes the overlap between two people's interpretations will be huge, and those two people will probably enjoy the same fan content. Sometimes not so much.

Personally, I write for a ship that were childhood friends that became lovers. In many AUs, people have them meeting for the first time in adulthood, and for me, that changes the nature of the ship and their characters so much that I can't really get into it. I consider their childhood friendship fundamental to them as people, and those authors don't. Which is fine. Many other people like those AUs. Nobody here is really in the wrong, we just have different opinions on what makes these particular Blorbos them.

In almost all cases, someone out there will find your interpretation of a character OOC. And that's fine. Hopefully they are polite and simply choose not to read your fics/engage with your HCs/whatever. But I think all of us have had the experience of reading a wildly OOC take and seeing other people enthusiastically going along with this "wrong" interpretation of the characters and thinking, "What??!?!"

It's fine. It's normal. It's annoying as hell (people are wrong on the internet), but it's inevitable. And if you find that interpretation particularly heinous to your Blorbo sensibilities, the block button is your friend.

[ask-e123-omega]

I was wondering, do you have any plans for the future once you've destroyed every last Badnik and sent Eggman to Hell with same day shipping? Anything at all?

YOUR CHOICE OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE AMUSES ME. I SHALL STEAL THAT PHRASE FOR MY OWN USE.

SPECULATING ON WHAT MIGHT OCCUR UPON THE COMPLETION OF MY GOAL IS A WASTE OF PROCESSING POWER: PROCESSING POWER BETTER DEVOTED TO ACHIEVING THE AFOREMENTIONED GOAL.

ROUGE AND SHADOW HAVE STRONGER OPINIONS ON THIS.
