i think the "nick can visit boston in the us" ideas are cute, but - correct me if i'm wrong - it can be both expensive and difficult to get a tourist visa for thai people. nick's dad runs a mobile repair shop. i'm pretty certain that if boston decides to go, these 4 months are actually what they can spend together.

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why don’t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?

not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.

i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.

which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.

and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.

i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!

It's my birthday today so made a lil edit inspired by some retro trek party invites i saw on ebay :]

[chibitorra]

There should be a website like "Rate my Professor" for jobs. Something like "Rate my Boss/Company" that doesn't have the ability to have company pay out for good reviews, or punish bad ones, perhaps completely anonymous reviews or something... just honest opinions of the company from the workers so people know what they're getting into...

Please click Azem's crystal to listen to Ki'to's finished personal playlist.

Finally, a project older than my Tumblr account is finished. orz

This playlist is an in-depth look at Ki'to's emotional journey through the MSQ (up to 6.0)

I didn't hit on every single story beat, but part of that is because certain things absorbed his focus more than others. For example, all of the Heavensward section is darker and more self-centered as that was when he was first inducted into his Dark Knighthood and where a lot of initial wounds began or were prodded and put under a microscope.

Thus, why this is labeled his emotional journey.

I genuinely hope you all enjoy this. It took me months to curate everything since I wanted the lyrics to do him justice.

I started this in October of last year iirc, just when I had finished ARR and made it past the bloody banquet cutscenes. I had been listening to another playlist and Revenge, And a Little More happened to play. It fit very well with how he had been feeling, and I decided I wanted to put together a playlist for him from there.

As I played through his story, I added songs that fit what he felt, and after a while the playlist hit 50+ songs. It simply needed to be sorted through and put in chronological order. A daunting task that I hadn't taken up until a couple days ago. And thus I'm finally able to release it.

Enjoy this look into my pride and joy of a Main, as well as my ever-shifting music taste. You have my thanks if you decide to listen to even a few songs. <3

I also have a little game for those who listen and get curious!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, instead of writing little blurbs about each song and its meaning, I want to know what you want to hear about!

Send me an ask with one of the songs off of his playlist, and I will give you a snapshot of his journey from where that song represents.

These will be much like the playlist drabbles I did a while ago. Writing's not my focus, but I do like to do it from time to time. :3c

I will always take these by the way, so even if you stumble upon this way down the line and don't see the specific song under the tag #playlist drabbles, send it in and I'll be happy to do it until every last song's been covered. <3

Fuuuuuuck why did I make each individual AST post have all the links to the others at the bottom. Why’d I do that man. Now I gotta edit every single one, every single time I make another

It’s only gonna get longer oh god

Link Click s1e5 has distressed me so bad that I'm resorting to a comfort ship I haven't been able to interact with in months since someone ruined it for me

(but that's a lore drop for another day)

[theredquilt]

i think we're all dealing with this very maturely, actually 😩

We literally are though. I know I'm certainly feeling So Normal about everything.

Whumptober Day 22: Toxic (Four)

Read here or on AO3. Trigger warnings: poisoning, ambiguous ending.

“There you go!” Sky said as he tied the wrapping around Four’s upper arm. 

It had been a pretty easy battle, all things considered. The worst injuries sustained had been the arrow in Four’s arm, and there were a few shallow sword slices. They weren’t even bad enough to warrant Hyrule’s magic, so he had been banned from healing. He was pouting about it, and Legend was sitting next to him triumphantly. Four smiled fondly. 

“Thanks, Sky,” Four said. 

Sky smiled brightly. “No problem!” 

Sky shifted so that he was reclining on the log next to Four. He glanced around the camp and the smiling and laughing faces, then leaned in closer to Four.

“I know the old man said no potions, but I’m sure he won’t mind if you really need one,” Sky said, voice lowered. Four frowned, cleared his throat, and turned to meet Sky’s eyes.

“I’m fine, really,” Four said. 

Sky shrugged and reclined, resting his head on crossed arms. “You look a bit flushed, is all. But if you say you’re fine, I believe you.”

Four brought a self-conscious hand up to his cheek. He hadn’t noticed before, but his face did feel a bit warm. He shook his head to clear the doubts from his mind. It was just leftover adrenaline from the battle, probably. 

The next few hours passed relatively without incident. Wild and Twilight were cooking dinner, and most of the others were engaged in some sort of card game. Four declined their offer to join, as he was feeling a bit lethargic from the battle and his wound. Four chuckled as he saw the extra deck of cards the old man was hiding in his lap; it would have been futile, anyway. 

“Are you sure?” Wind asked, holding out some extra cards. Four nodded, waving away his concern. 

But as Four sat on the log, the sounds of his brothers ringing sharply in his ears, his leg shaking restlessly, his heartbeat steadily increasing, he began to suspect something wasn’t quite right. 

“Uh, guys?” Four called out. His voice was shaking, and it was far too soft to be heard over the others’ game. Four’s pounding head began to spin, and he tried to swallow down his panic. He braced his uninjured arm on the log beside him. 

Four blinked rapidly, then took a deep breath and called out again, louder this time. “Guys?” 

“Yeah, Four?” Sky replied, glancing up from his cards. 

“Something’s wrong,” Four muttered. His vision blurred, and the next thing he knew Sky was beside him with a strong hand braced on his shoulder. Sky was frowning deeply, and his eyes were blown wide. He maneuvered Four down into the dirt and leaned him up against the log. Four felt like he was spinning, falling, and took solace in the hard log against his back.

“His pupils are dilated, and his breathing is shallow,” Sky said loudly. It didn’t sound like it was meant for him, but Four couldn’t make out anyone else around. Sky’s hand grasped his wrist.

“Rapid heartbeat, too,” Sky relayed. 

“The arrow must have been poisoned,” someone said. 

Four wasn’t exactly sure who. He could make out the panic in their voice, though. His vision began to darken around the edges, and the sounds blended together into a rushing river in his ears. The light changed, and Four could barely make out blurs of color moving rapidly in front of him as his vision went dark and he fell to the side.

just fixed my age in my abt and also the link to my icon art credit ✌️

[musicrunsthroughmysoul]

I just opened my document of my women of classic rock playlist and seeing it again is like...ah, yes, the project I will literally never finish because there is no way possible that I will become aware of every single woman who ever contributed to rock music history. But it's a great idea! Just one that can never be fully realized.

Obviously that doesn't mean I'll ever give up on it, though, hence why I opened it for the first time in over a year to add new artists/bands I just learned of today.

Say what you will, but the perfectionist in me says 'If I put out a playlist that's "unfinished," no one will notice or give a shit if I add more songs/bands/artists later on.' So it has to be "finished" before I ever officially share it because I don't expect anyone to ever give it more than one, singular glance, if that. The point, anyway, isn't even really to make a playlist that people will listen to frequently, anyway - the point is to compile a thorough resource to introduce people to new-to-them bands and artists (or re-introduce them to ones they haven't heard or heard of in a long time), but the playlist only defines these artists and bands by a singular song, so if they catch listener's attention, then they have to go and find more music by these bands and artists. It's only meant to be an introduction! But a meticulous thoughtful one. That's what I'm trying for, anyway.
