okay but imagine subby dazai who loves to be called Princess …🙏🙏🙏
admin ( posted for the first time in a while ) but like, ur so right nonnie omg. he'd be so cute! imagine him being his brat like self, pulling a couple of pranks, pushing buttons he knows he's not supposed to push, the usual. he'd play fight you, knowing damn well he can't win. he's a bit too frail, too thin and small compared to you. there's no way he'd win, but he tries regardless, whimpering when you pin him to the wall.
his right side his pressed firmly to the wall, one leg is keeping him afoot while the other is in your hold. his left side his folded due to your arms caging his leg to his head between your arms. he's completely trapped and under your control, his arms and legs of no use, just like he wanted of course. imagine slowly pushing into him, sighing at the way his walls feel. "you just have to be irritating, hm?" you grit your teeth, buck up into his hole, smiling at the way his dick slumps downwards due to gravity. "i thought you wanted to be my princess? well—then again, princesses tend to be bratty," you whisper, pressing sloppy kisses to his neck, "guess the slipper fits."
dazai whines at the nickname, his cheeks are reddend with blush as he takes your cock like a champ. his hazel eyes catch the way your cock bulges beneath his belly button, and he almost cums from the sight. "come on, princess. be as bratty as you need to," you coo in his ear, "'m right here."
a chuckle leaves your lips when dazai practically yells your name, muttering "mhm"s and "yesyesyes," over and over again. he's a cutie!

Idea in retired rock star Iceman:
Iceman has retirement ceremony and party, when he retires from navy as admiral. There are in first/last lane of seats bunch of wierd people in black with tattoos and laugting very laud, when admiral steps on podium. And everybody is like “What the hell they are doing here?”.
AHHHH!!!! Nonny, I love this!!!
Absolutely! You just know the greater rock community kept tabs on Kairo Jett and of course his close rock buddies all know where he went. He still goes to concerts under the guise of taking Bradley or one of the flyboys. Of course a bunch of them are going to show up to the big hoity toity admiral events — especially his retirement party! 🎈 That after party is going to be wild 😜

Hey Steph!! Hope life is treating you well ❤️🩹 I'm a sucker for music playlist (love yours!) and i was wondering if you know fanfictions with playlist made for them.
Hi Nonny!!!!!
AHHHH Thank you!! I'm happy still have fans of the playlist (which, shameless promo, you can listen to on Spotify (not managed by me) or YouTube (my YouTube channel)!) and that you enjoy it!
Sadly life isn't treating me well, but I'm trying my best to make it through, LOL.
AHHHH what a great concept... severely miss my early fandom days when Song Fics were popular!!! UGGGH!!
One that I know FOR SURE has a Playlist of sorts is this fic:
Sunday Evening 6 p.m. by Silvergirl (E, 30,712 w., 6 Ch. || Post-TRF / TEH Divergence, Grief / Mourning / Stages of Grief, Mutual Pining, Dreams, Reunion, Love Confessions, First Kiss / Time, Alternating First Person POV, Smart John, BAMF Boys, Emotional Love Making, Song Fic, Referenced Suicide, First Kiss / Time, Touching, Sleepy Sherlock, Blow Job, Villain Mary) – Six months after Sherlock jumped, he learns that John is dedicating songs to him on a requests-only radio programme. Is John just working through grief? Or is he—communicating? Fixes the hell out of S3 by pre-empting it altogether. Remember, as TAB told us, John is Pretty Damn Smart.
====
AND HAPPILY, I think I can recommend my Song Fics (MFLs) list I made a while ago that you will enjoy as well! It has some suggestions from other Lovelies for fics based on songs, but I don't recall for sure if any of the others have a full playlist for them.
If you have a fic with a playlist, or are an author that has a playlist for their fic, PLEASE suggest it to us!!! I would love to add it!!!

Hey anon, high school bully behavior is anonymously bullying someone, something that YOU are doing.
This type of behavior is what drives people off of tumblr. Why more and more people pack it up and move to ao3 only or quit writing entirely. Keep it up, anon. Watch what happens, what’s already happening.
If you have an issue with someone, handle it like an adult. Not whatever this crap is. What did you think would happen, sending that rude message? That everyone would say oh yeah, this dumbass coward hiding behind an anonymous message is right. What a hero! They’re braver than all of us, bullying Vee online. Christ reincarnated. But you won’t do that, will you?
In the time it took to decide to send a rude message to someone, decide what that message would be, search for Vee’s tumblr, go into her inbox and type it up and press send, you could have done anything else and it would’ve been better. You could’ve said something nice to a friend (assuming you have any. I suppose imaginary ones count, as sad as that is) , you could have taken a few deep breaths. Perhaps made yourself a snack and calmed down. I think best of all, you could have (and should have) shut the fuck up. Never underestimate the value of shutting your mouth, anon. It’s a precious gift.
I hope someone does this shit to you and you can know how it feels. You’re clearly lacking empathy and it’d do you well to learn some. I’ll start you off with two pieces advice - If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Treat others how you want to be treated.
Vee, you are invaluable to this community and you’re worth so much more than you could ever ever know. I hope you know the positive impact you’ve had on me as an individual and countless fucking others, as well as tumblr as a whole. This flaming asshole will only ever be that - a flaming, electrified asshole. A pimple on the ass of the universe. You are a brilliant creator, friend, and member of this community. So much more than whoever this troglodyte is. I know you’re hurting, and I’m hurting for you. I hope you can heal soon. Do something nice for yourself tonight because you deserve it. You deserve it every night.
...i may or may not have had to google the term troglodyte
nonnie, thank you for your kindness, first of all. my emoji tab on my laptop decided she wanted to stop working, so here is this heart for you <33
it's kind of too late to tell you not to waste your own energy in regards to that anon, but really, let's just let them be. i've already wasted enough energy for all of us, and i really, really wish that i had been in a better headspace when that dumb ask was dropped into my inbox. if i had been, i would have just kept sipping my smoothie and writing my silly little story, which is what i had been doing when the notification came in lmao.
they caught me on a night i was already hurting, so naturally, their opinion of me did indeed hurt my feelings, and it sucks, but all the love i have gotten has certainly kept me from crawling into a hole and for that i am grateful. i think i shall take your advice and do something nice for myself tonight. <3

hope the night is treating you well! saw you mentioned kurtis conner in your latest post re: cody ko and wanted to take my moment to bring up the thing He is currently rather successfully sweeping under the rug. his (former?) best friend dean hebscher was pictured in blackface early this year, next to his other best friend jacob andrew sharp, at a halloween party where he was allegedly present. his statement about this came in the form of a community tab note where he claimed ignorance, and deleting all his videos with dean (but not jacob, as far as i am aware). this is the third separate controvery dean has been involved in since his time online including a seperate racist incident and instances of homophobic hate speech as well. to reiterate kurtis was also allegedly present at this party, though as far as i know there is no substantial evidence of this. this controvery was more widely talked about than the last two and kurtis is bigger than he was then, so he has publicly cut ties with the guy, but he clearly didn't have a problem the last time his friend was exposed as a racist and i don't know that he really cares now, given the lack of accountability he's shown.
i hope the night is treat you well as well, nonnie!
and wow, this is actually very interesting. truth be told, i was never a huge kurtis fan, so any and all controversies surrounding him are virtually unknown to me.
but you're right in saying that if these things are true, it seems like he doesn't truly care if his friends are caught up in deplorable situations. and it sucks to see because, from my understanding and the few videos i've watched/tweets of his i've read, he tends to call this stuff out when it's other people.
and your point about the statement being a comment on a community tab is also interesting. while he can claim ignorance, and as you said, his presence at the party is alleged, i personally believe that if, in the case of content creators, you've made videos or content with the guilty party, and have had them displayed on your channel for your fans to see, that's where your statement/apology/acknowledgement should also be presented, in video format.
comments can get buried, and things don't remain pinned forever. it's kind of how i believe that an apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect, not hidden away from the public eye.
#sam answers#kurtis conner#i know i've seen kurtis be another one of those 'dunking on blank' commentators but this presents a pattern in a way

While I definitely see how this feels out of nowhere to how qTubbo was feeling, I feel like assuming it was all done to "calm down twitter" and "appease to chat" takes away agency from ccTubbo. He could've just turn down Fred's attempts at reconnecting based on how his character felt, but he didn't. The admin and him noticed a communication issued that wasn't supposed to happen and altered it (doesn't work well with the rp but oh well)
Sure they could've gone about it in a different and more natural way, all your criticisms are really valid. I just don't get why you're mad at twitter/chat as if this isn't a Tubbo choice, he could've just not done it, he wasn't obligated to.
Sorry this isn't supposed to be mean or anything I'm just confused cause this is very clearly something the cc wants, isn't wasn't executed in the best way but at the end of the day it was his choice
Hope you're doing well thought !! English isn't my first language hopefully this sounds fine
No worries nonnie! I always appreciate it and I totally see where you are coming from.
The reason I say the main reason they did this because of chat/twitter is because of how Twitter/chat treated ccTubbo both last night and today. There were a LOT of people that convinced Tubbo that he read the book wrong and then forgot his own lore because he's dyslexic and forgetful. They called him dumb and blamed the whole thing on him when it was a mutual miscommunication.
The thing is that we ALL read the letter the same exact way and we ALL came to the same conclusions so dogpiling Tubbo into thinking HE messed up is absolutely unacceptable.
Now this goes into how the lore played out today. ccTubbo is a grown man who can make decisions himself, that is 100% true. The problem lies in Tubbo making decisions that he wants to make if that makes sense. He has a history of putting his own wants aside to play games that chat enjoys over something he would enjoy more. He's said as much on his alt streams. So for basically all of Twitter and his chat to say that he fucked up, bully him, and straight up call him dumb and that the whole thing was his fault, its not impossible for him to feel like its easier to just go with what chat wants or do smth to fix it and make up for "causing this problem" in the first place.
Also, even though they can fix the miscommunication issue through rp, there's no reason to do it NOW and there's no reason to do it how they did it today. This is a main reason I think it's a "fix-it" for Twitter.
Everything was rushed, OOC, and the whole thing with Ramon knowing Fred was at Tubchunk, Sunny immediately having the tea part reason and tubbo checking the tab list the second Fred logged on makes me think it was planned and planned quickly. There was no reason for Fred to visit or even hear rumors of Tubbo misunderstanding his letter because qtubbo didn't even know he misunderstood it!
At the end of the day, lore and rp and what goes on behind the scenes are more subjective to people than objective. I've just been watching Tubbo for a while and the treatment he's received paired with his past comments brought me to this result.
#i aso think that people always try and fit everything into an rp box#when sometimes there are meta reasosns for lore as well#we have to aknowledge what else was going on at the time and we cant just pretend it isn't happening#anon asks#qsmp crit#qsmp neg#not sure about that one but tagging jic

I AM SO SORRY I accidentally clicked "missing community label" when I tried to open your post in a new tab. I hope it doesn't cause any issues.
Hi nonny! I haven't noticed any trouble nor gotten any notifications about it from Tumblr, so I think we're good! Accidents happen 😊

just general vent, but.
Spork is hurting the RP community more than just being a thief and a general asshole.
People will block all the people he interacts with and even if they cut ties with Spork, they will still be blocked. He and other asshole RPers are just separating everyone and making the community feel so small or non existent.
Help me understand here: you're upset that people are blocking those who interact with Spork as they're presumably within his friend circle? (/NM)
If that's what you mean? Then I get where you're coming from but if people don't want to be anywhere near Spork or the people he associates with and interacts with? They shouldn't have to be. It's not a secret he keeps tabs on people through other rpers like Boogey and makes them his mouthpiece. So like if you get your ass blocked for interacting with him then that's a risk you take by interacting with him. Sorry, but that's the truth, nonnie. 🤷 When I block a bitch I'm not going to keep tabs on who they are and aren't friends with in the future. IDGAF cuz I don't have that kind of time.
Guilty by association isn't cool but it's the approach the people hurt by people like Spork sometimes need to take to avoid getting hurt in a similar way in the future. Or getting stalked by the person and their group of asskissers. Cuz that's what people like Spork have as "friends". Asskissers.

Hey, I keep asking you stuff about shc, but here's the thing. I really like how you think and put your thoughts to 'paper'. I never ever want to say your wrong or make a fight. I hope you like asks as well, and if you're tired of them or will ever be, I am happy for your time and effort you put in this community. I just wanted you to know I appreciate it all.
I love asks, all of them! Every time I find one in my Activity tab, my eyes start to shine, and I am like 'Alright, let's see what we got'. I think I might have been the first one wisteria sent asks to, and I was definitely begging her for more because I just love answering them.
It's like, you force me to think about stuff I would never have thought about before, and also make me sort my thoughts and put them in order so other people can understand what I'm talking about. And that in turn makes everything a lot clearer in my head, which makes space for other thoughts, which sometimes leads to really important break-throughs for myself. Discovery writing, gotta love it.
And the best part is that hopefully, I'll do something good for others as well, even if it's just a few minutes of entertainment. Everything beyond that is a bonus, tbh.
And you know what? I like a good fight or debate from time to time, I really do. Sometimes I go trolling on youtube, because it's ridiculously easy to find people to rile up, especially when you know what to look for. And I wouldn't even consider a discussion about shc a fight. Especially when I am making blanket statements about sortings not my own, I expect to get it wrong. Because obviously I have no experience being that sorting, only observations on a very limited pool of people I know.
So I would absolutely love for others to come in and point out that my statements are too general, and that I have not taken into account xyz, etc. It's one way to learn about others, and I love learning new things about the world and my fellow inhabitants.
Thank you very much for your questions, nonny, and also thank you for the compliment of liking the way I talk about things <3. And if you feel like something I say makes no sense to you, feel free to tell me, so we can talk about it and learn together.

i know you're a spoonie witch, so what are your favorite low energy devotional things you've done?
Hello, Nonny!
Thanks so much for this question! So for my practice, I rely heavily on low energy devotional acts or offerings, since I almost never have free energy.
A while back, I dedicated my citrus-scented shampoo & conditioner to Apollo. So whenever I wash my hair, I am performing a small devotional act for him. For Mother Hekate, I braid my hair and chant a small prayer until the braiding process is complete. For Father Hades, I save soda can tabs and all my spare change. Every time I pass my altar, I stop and praise the Theoi.
But the biggest part of my practice is music! I make devotional playlists for my deities! They contain songs that remind me of that deity or my relationship with them. Then I'll either sit or lay down and listen to these playlists with my them. Sometimes I'll sing them a song (praise their tolerance of my voice). I'll even do shufflemancy to communicate with them!
Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey Dani! Why do you think Gemini people are considered bad for relatioships? people always say they're unfaithful and two faced, but I've only met very sweet gemini people!
Hey Nonny! You came to the right blog! * pulls out Gemini moon, Jupiter, and Venus from chart*
Let’s get it!
Disclaimers: please remember that are bad people of all signs. Stereotypes are bad. People are more than one placement.
So... the ever hated sign of the Twins! Why people dislike Geminis? Let’s talk a bit about this, right?
Adittional Disclaimer : I have a Gemini moon, conjunct Jupiter. LOTS of rambling ahead.
I think... there are some things:
Let’s start with the basics, ne?
Gemini is a mutable sign: Mutable signs are... well mutable. They are versatile and adaptable. They are smart. They can do well in many situations.
Gemini is an Air sign: Air signs are all about communication, stimulation, activity. Gemini takes an intellectual or mental approach to life. Gemini needs to communicate. It is an intellectual sign, intelligent and fair-minded. It needs constant stimulus. It needs variety. You know that people who have friends in every social circle possible? That's the Gemini.
Gemini ruler is Mercury, or Hermes, the Messenger God, going places and telling people stuff. This is the perfect Gemini representation.
Now... here’s the thing... Gemini people need stimuli, variety. novelty, lightness.
That’s why Gemini people have so many interests: they need that, or they’ll wilt from the lack of stimuli. They do many things at the same time. They are excellent at multitasking. They absorb information like sponges and grow new knowledge, opinions, and tastes over that.
Gemini lives their life in a rush. They’re everywhere. They are in their heads. They’re in everyone's head, LOL.
A Gemini’s head... never shuts up. There are aways five tabs open, one of them is playing music (today’s kpop, tomorrow’s heavy metal, yesterday was bossa nova). There is intense mental activity: Studying various subjects at the same time, reading 2 books simultaneously, following too many tv shows.
And everything is analyzed, and overanalyzed, again and again. Gemini is a nervous, anxious sign, so overthinking is a must.
However, this is done in the speed of light. Very, very fast. Gemini has forgotten what they said 5 minutes ago. Geminis are scattered, so they jump from subject to subject, from conversation to conversation, too quickly.
I’ve said this many many times here: A Gemini needs stimulation, variety, communication. All of those are natural in friendships, and Geminis are the most adorable friends ever, but relationships... relationships are another matter.
Everything goes too fast: They fall in love fast, they fall out of love fast. And, especially with Gemini Moon and Venus, moving on is fast. They’ll analyze things, see what went wrong, and move on.
And this is why Geminis are ‘bad’ at relationships: They move on too fast. It’s hard to make them stay put. Their partner needs to learn how to run with them, or they’ll be left behind.
A Gemini’s parter will never be boring: they’ll be smart, fun, intelligent, clever, youthful.
There is one thing though: Geminis are charming. They are lovely. They are fun. And they don’t even notice that! It’s natural for them! It’s hard not to fall for these people. They do have flirty ways, and because they make friends to everyone... lots of hearts might be broken along the way!
They’ll be unfaithful, or two-faced of they’re... some people like to say ‘undeveloped’, or immature, but I disagree. Astrology is not here to justify people’s mistakes. It’s to show possibilities and tendencies.
They’ll be unfaithful and two-faced if they’re bad people.
Happy Gemini Season!

Hi Steph!
How have you been doing? I have the seasonal flu and have been kinda depressed but Johnlock fics helps me keep right sort of.
Can you please rec me some fics based after s4 or post Mary where Sherlock loves Rosie a lot more than he lets on. Like he wants to play with her, hug her and kiss her but refrains himself from doing so infront of John afraid John might not like him being so loving towards Rosie? Like not John being necessarily mean finding out Sherlock loves pampering Rosie , but just Sherlock being afraid to shower his love to Rosie in John's presence?
Thank you 💜
Hey Nonny *HUGS*
I'm SO sorry you're feeling AWFUL, and I really hope you feel better soon! <3
Ah, nothing with Rosie immediately comes to mind, but I know of two fics with "other kids" that Sherlock does this:
Iris by slashscribe (E, 11,948 w., 1 Ch. || Parentlock, Pining Sherlock, Post-S3) – Sherlock does his best to make John happy when John comes back to 221B with his new baby after the events of Season 3, but Sherlock has a track record of getting things wrong in this area. This story is an exploration of their gradual shift from friends to lovers, told from Sherlock's perspective, full of a lot of pining and lack of emotional awareness.
Wars We Fought, Things We're Not by blueink3 (M, 55,204 w., 10 Ch. || Post S3 / Post TAB, Parentlock, Fluff & Angst, Kidnapping, Whump, Post-TAB, UST/URT, 3G, Mild Peril, Slow Burn, Couple for a Case, Protective Mycroft, Infant Death Pre-Story, Friends to Lovers) – Five months after John's world has fallen apart, Mycroft sends the consulting detective and his doctor on a case that neither is prepared for.
But I am CERTAIN I have some on one of my parentlock fic lists:
Parentlock
Parentlock Pt. 2
Parentlock Pt. 3
Adoption
Sherlock Soft With Children
Parentlock with Rosie (Nov. 2022) (COMMUNITY RECS)
If anyone has something they really want to suggest, please do!

Hello! I wanted to know what is your process to write your famous comments, do you use a word processor or one of the built-in tools in AO3? I really like to find them when reading a fic and they are so comprehensive that I got curious about the process. Thanks!
Dear Nonny, Goodness what a lovely compliment wrapped up in your question! You made me blush w/that ‘famous comments’ phrase. There’s a short-enough answer to your inquiry about the technical piece and --SURPRISE!-- a longer one about my philosophy + process of crafting comments under Keep reading.
M a n y (!!!) comments have been created on my phone, but it’s hard + easy to lose or get them scrambled up, so I prefer to use a keyboard. (Ummm, please tell me about those tools built into AO3 because I don’t know about them!) I often comment as I go, cutting/pasting bits while I’m reading either because I like the word-craft, imagery or plot point, and then I slap them into the comments section to organise + respond to when I’ve finished the chapter. If it’s a long or complicated chapter/work I open the work up in two side by side tabs + then scroll down while reading in one + type comments in the other.
This isn’t technical, but/and it’s important enough to keep ‘above the fold’: my guiding principle for comments is the same as how I seek to show up in fandom: always encourage others.
Ready for the philosophy + process part? Grab a cuppa tea, cuz --boy howdy!-- once I started thinking about this, I had a lot to say.
STRATEGY The aspects I keep my eye on when reading are: power dynamics between characters, signposts of emotional growth, the many types of intimacy (beyond sexual), beautiful metaphors or phrasing + things which make me laugh out loud. When reading sexy times I look for what we learn about each character in those moments. What makes them blush? Revs them up? Frightens or concerns them? Surprises and/or delights them?
Overall I enjoy the experience of being surprised or learning something new about characters; I love it when authors highlight an idea, trait, motivation or choice I hadn’t previously thought of understood. All of the above are usually what I highlight back to the author.
Hmmmm, why did I blush over the phrase “your famous comments”?
CONFESSION Until I got to know @fuzzballsheltiepants through Back to the Start, I was really embarrassed about them. Why did they have to be so long?!! Why did I feel the need to quote long passages back to the authors? They already knew their work, why repeat it to them?! Why couldn’t I write concise, sassy comments like so many others?! And what about the times I didn’t feel like writing long comments? Was I disappointing the author (or maybe they were relieved)? Honestly, I was afraid people might be laughing behind my back. O O F. The stories we tell our sweet selves until we decide to be who we are, not who we think others want to be.
BACKSTORY When I got quiet to figure out why DO I write such long comments, it came down to what was going on in my life when I got into fandom. Our daughters had both just left for college in two different states + I went back to FT work at a job I thought would be a decent enough match. It was + wasn’t. I learned a ton, but/and my work partner + boss were incredibly challenging. I help people + orgs navigate change. They told me they hired me to help them do such a thing, but it turns out they wanted me to write great emails + make effective slide decks. HO HUM. I haven’t had many jobs I didn’t enjoy; this was one.
It was a disorienting time and I was utterly disoriented.
When our kids were growing up I was a youth minister in my home faith community. (Uh, and yes, ofc it’s a community which supports LGBTQIAP+ justice, among many other justice issues) C+H grew up in a multi-generational village + around a lot of teens. They saw their Mama doing what she loved + was very good at. The girls just finished 6th grade (11 y.o.) when I left ministry. Even though sometimes it was REaL L y challenging (puleez, guiding + mentoring two very different humans who were both the same age?!!! During adolescence?!!!), I enjoyed being P R E S E N T for our daughters in ways I did not experience growing up + I know not many teens get to experience. It was a gift + also a responsibility which I took to heart.
After catching on sleep for almost a year (I’m NOT joking), I went to grad school and learned the formal theories + practices about what I have been doing since I was a teenager: helping people + groups navigate change. Grad school was A KICK! By the time the girls went off to college I had a consulting business. When Mr FSC + I came back to the emptier home, my identity shifted from Mama/Youth Mentor/Household CEO (all jobs I loved + am very good at) to whatever the next chapter was going to be. I decided getting a FT job working for someone else would help pay those tuition bills. I remember feeling so.under.appreciated at work. UGH. It took about 18 mos there before That Whole Experience began to negatively impact my health + I ended up going on medical leave and then quitting. It didn’t help that even during the interview process I KNEW there were a lot of red flags. I own it: I chose to overlook them because HELLO?!!! 2 kids in college! I decided to take the money + deal w/the other stuff as it came up.
THE GIFT OF FANDOM However --thank goodness-- about six months into that job I joined the Tumblr village, the AFTG fandom + dove into AO3 under ZinniaGirl and ZinniaGirl2Woman or something like that. Nearly every day when I went into the office every formatting + word choice was consistently critiqued. I’m a decent writer + this totally threw me off my game. (understatement!)
Ahhhh, but writing for fandom?!! IT WAS + CONTINUES TO BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT + WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!! Here I could stretch my legs + enjoy writing WHENEVER + HOWEVER I wanted to. I decided to make up my own rules. Early on I knew I wasn’t going to be a prolific author, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t work on the craft of writing. Quickly comments + Tumblr posts became my contributions to the fandom. Enough people responded positively that I kept up with both. Over time I’ve gained acquaintances, some really close friends, all while continuing to learn more about the craft of writing from some of the best in our fandom who also happen to be top drawer human beings.
YA YA YA, SO HOW DO I COME UP WITH THOSE “famous” COMMENTS? (I’m still giggling over that word!)
When I start reading a fic, I sink into the author’s world
I start noticing whatever they notice about the charaters we love
Next comes the strategy (above)
Add in having fun
Sprinkle in encouragement, esp for first time writers or writers having a hard time
Sometimes I’m writing a analytical literary essay, other times they’re love letters
Sometimes I’m so moved I can’t combine words into a sentence
No matter the style, early on I decided to E N J O Y the experience of being part of this GLOBAL, NETWORKED, CREATIVE, COLLABORATIVE, SUPPORTIVE village. It has been one of the greatest gifts of my life in the past decade.
WHAT ABOUT YOU DEAR ONE?!!
What do you love about reading + commenting on fics? What thrills you about being part of the fandom? Grab your magic wand + tell me what you wish could change about it. Which guiding principle(s) are the guardrails of your participation?
Thanks for asking such a great question + being patient while I dumped out all of this content, sorted through it + then decided what to share.
Here’s to fandom friends, those we know + those we do not know...yet.
Love,
Cory / foxsoulcourt

What are some signs that a boyfriend is cheating ??? I suspect mine is
Oof, first and foremost, if it turns out that he is, my apologies. Monogamous or Polyamorous, cheating is a big no-no.
That being said, the case is going to be different for everyone. Take what I say with a grain of salt, and push for communication between the two of you. I know of the times that I was cheated on (mind you, the last time that happened, I was in college) were complete opposites.
The first time I was cheated on, the ex was caught red-handed by friends and told to tell me immediately or they would come and tell me. He called me as soon as he was back from Show Choir Camp and told me. He met a girl at camp, and they were going to get married as soon as they graduated high school. I don’t know how that would have turned out, but I know I dodged a bullet. The second time I was cheated on, I noticed an extreme change in personality. My ex had suddenly become more needy, wanted to spend more time with me, he told me that he loved me... Weird as it sounds, that was the biggest red flag.
The last time I was cheated on, I was ghosted. We went from texting non-stop, calling each other when we were free, to me having to hunt them down. Believe it or not, I am a very non-confrontational person, but when the person I love was suddenly going from constant communication to none, call me paranoid. Okay, sorry. You came to ask for signs, and I went off with my history.
The one thing that the last two have in common is the extreme change in personality. The quiet, aloof boyfriend became loving, loud, and affectionate. Then the loving, talkative SO disappeared and went radio silent. Again - I would push for more communication either way, so don’t assume if there is that significant change that it’s automatically that they’re cheating.
I also don’t want to assume that you are or aren’t sexually active. If you are, and not using barriers, I would go get tested. That’s usually a surefire way to check.
Finally, if you have access to financials, or openly talk about finances, extreme changes in spending can also point to possible cheating. I’m not talking about one-off things either, shit happens. I’m leaning more towards “Hey Babe, can you cover the tab?” more than it had happened before. Two relationships are expensive.
Again, I’m by no means a professional. This is just stuff I’ve noticed from personal experience and friends’ experiences. I highly recommend pushing for more communication. If he has nothing to hide, he’ll be game for it. If he does... well, I’m hoping that’s not the case for you, Nonnie. Sending you all my love. <3

Hey just a quick question: will you post imagines or submitted fics that contain endgame spoilers? And if so will it be tagged accordingly? I want to know if I need to block this blog until I've watched it
Fear not, Nonny, Imagine Loki is a spoiler free zone.
I have made posts on this in the last two weeks but I have no issue with saying it again if it gives you and other followers peace of mind.
For the next two weeks, though Imagine Loki will accept End game posts, there will be none published for 2 weeks to allow people to see the movie. After 2 weeks, there will be a further 2-3 weeks where all spoilers will be published but will be tagged and under "read more" tabs to prevent those who have not seen it from seeing them.
Anyone found putting spoilers in the notes will be blocked immediately. Imagine Loki is a community and those who want to make it negative for others are not welcome.
I hope this puts your mind at ease,
-Wolfpawn.
