[OOC: hello! Paiko here! I just have a few things I'd like to discuss. Now, I do have to make a few disclaimers before I go on. I absolutely do not condone the harassment of anyone regardless of what I may discuss and how it may apply to anyone. I also want to make it known that this doesn't mean anything for my ask blog. I'm not abandoning it. Iceland is here to stay! I also would like to clarify that this doesn't apply to most of the people I've interacted with on this ask blog. Most of you are absolutely wonderful, and (contrarily to my portrayal of Iceland) I am a huge extrovert, so I absolutely love interacting with everyone.

That being said, I've noticed that some of us aren't too familiar with some common unspoken rules of having an ask blog, so I'll try to bring a few up, shall I?

Let's start with something simple.

1)You are not entitled to anyone's character. I'll try to say this as nicely as possible, but you're not playing dolls with your siblings where you can make demands as to how the story should go. Your version of a character is not absolute and people should not have to alter their character to fit your own mold. It is also very sucky to try and force your headcanons onto someone else. If you really dislike someone's character so much, you're more than welcome to find another ask blog.

2) your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose. This one is slightly related to the last one, so it'll be a bit shorter. Do not try to force your chosen course of events onto someone else. Yes, we all love having our characters in strange little scenarios, but if someone isn't cool with that, that's a shame, but it never gives you the right to try and force them into it. Creating an arc in an ask blog community is... Hard. It's hard to get everyone on board. A great example of an arc well done is the meeting arc we had for a bit. That was funny, super sweet and it was actually quite immersive. Everyone had fun, we all caused chaos, it was great. When someone isn't entirely on board, then it gets a little unfortunate. If you want to have a full arc with a fellow ask blog you can communicate over PMs. I know not all of us care to use them, but it can be very helpful in coordinating something like this so there are no issues later on. Especially if said arc deals with any form of rivalry or conflict. Otherwise, you're just attacking someone for no apparent reason.

3) your fellow ask bloggers are not therapists. A bit of character angst can be nice when done right. It can help explore these kinds of issues in a digestible way, but when it's essentially just using mental health issues as a plot point to get the story where you want it, that's when we start having problems. I mentioned this before on my main blog, but trivializing mental health under the guise of representation really does not sit quite right with me and nor should it anyone else. My interpretation of Iceland is a really insecure teen. It plays a lot into his character and he has this self-deprecating humour that can come across as concerning at times. The difference here is that Iceland's character is not seeking help here. His character is meant to be relatable. A lot of us make this sort of joke. When it's just 'oh, this arc isn't going how I wanted it to? That's fine, let me just have the character have some serious mental problems as a result of that!' then I have a huge issue with it. If your character is the type to always complain about their life and walk around with a half empty bottle of booze belligerently yelling about their happenings, it's important that this character is treated as a punchline. Even as someone who has never and will never drink, I can recognise how funny and tension breaking a character like that can be.

4) please respect other people's personal rules. Some of us dislike shipping and whatnot for various reasons. Keep in mind that a lot of the people you interact with are minors. This isn't a dating simulator. I, for example, forbid shipping as Iceland is a minor and I am personally not comfortable with shipping him even if the other character is also a minor. If you're cool with that, fantastic! But not on my blog. This plays into the whole not forcing your storyline on someone else point, but it's important to me that people understand that when someone says they're uncomfortable with something, stay away from that something while interacting with them. I've stated wanting to keep this blog mostly PG. That is a boundary, not a request. I can and will ban anyone who disregards mine or anyone else's rules.

I'm sorry if this post came across as a little harsh. I don't mean to attack anyone. I'm just trying to ensure everyone's safety here. If you see a problem with anything I've said don't be scared to bring anything up. It never hurts to discuss.

Once again, thank you for coming to my yap session.]

[lihyot-am-chofshi-beartzeinu]

This was sent to my main but I didn't want this putrid shit on my aesthetic blog. @trudgemank99, I'm going to try to explain this as best I can without insulting you.

Zionism is not a fascist ideology, and it is not responsible for an "ongoing genocide".

You don't even know what Zionism is. Seriously, you and others like you straight up don't even know what it means. You don't know its history, you don't know its cultural and religious significance, you don't know its politics, you don't know how it has saved so many Jewish peoples' lives over the 20th century. How dare you apply your own made-up interpretation of it to give you an excuse to go around harassing Jewish people on the internet?

You know how I see you? I see you as a Nazi. Because you have replaced "Jew" with "Zionist" in your vocabulary, so that you can get away with the same hatred of Jews that has festered within society for thousands of years.

You claimed in that other thread that you cared about the Palestinians. But you don't, because instead of, oh, I don't know, donating to charities or uplifting Palestinian voices, or even supporting joint Israeli-Palestinian peace movements like Standing Together, Women Wage Peace and A Land For All, you chose to desecrate the images of dead and grieving Palestinians who are victims of the tragedy of the conflict to "prove" it was a genocide (it's not; the ICJ ruled that Israel must take steps to prevent actions that could be considered genocidal. War and civilian death is horrific enough on its own; you gain nothing by misrepresenting what it is.)

You couldn't even name a single person in those pictures when I pressed you. I don't even know if those photos were of the conflict, because you didn't link to any reputable sources or date the images or name the photographer. For all I know they could have been pictures of the devastating war in Syria, which have taken on a second life with people attributing them to Gaza. Either way: how dare you use the dead as props. They were real people with real families and friends left behind to suffer - they are not your "gotcha" gore card to play on the internet.

Despite all of that, I don't hate you. I don't hate anyone. I don't want anyone to die. I want the conflict to end but I am realistic about why it occurred and why there is no ceasefire yet (hint: it's because Hamas keeps refusing ceasefires, because they want to send as many Gazan civilians to their deaths as they can). There is nothing I can say or do on my blog that will work towards an end to the conflict, and nothing I can do or say in my real life that will end the conflict - because I don't have a direct line to Netanyahu's office, and calling my local politicians here in Australia will accomplish fuck all. Because Australia doesn't influence Israel, just as Israel doesn't influence Australia.

So how does ranting incoherently at Jewish people on Tumblr save Palestinians? Go on, answer how screaming at me demanding I call it a genocide helps anyone.

I'm not defending Israel. I don't need to. What I do talk about is fighting Antisemitism and anti-Zionism - because there is no difference between them anymore. You and people like you might keep using the word "anti-Zionist" (something that I consider to be grossly inappropriate and culturally appropriative, actually) but we all know that, deep down, you're just Jew-haters.

If you can't admit to yourself that you are operating on a basis of incoherent hatred for Zionists (aka Jewish people who believe in the existence of a Jewish homeland in our ancestral land of Judea; something, by the way, that is fully compatible with the existence of a Palestinian state) then I'll do it for you: you are a Jew-hater.

Oh, wait! You did admit it:

Thank you for this mask-off moment. Truly.

[neptunescore]

Literally started this blog just to say how hypocritical F1 – both the people working in it, and the sport itself – is becoming. The main 3 things I want to address is: no.1 women in motorsport, no2 the ongoing genocide in palestine and no3 F1's disallowance of anything political, yet enabling the absolute political shitshow that was the 2024 miami gp.

Numéro 1: I just think its absolute bullshit that the FIA genuinely created a whole ‘Women in Motorsport Commission’, assigned SIX STRONG ambassadors to it, and THEN proceeded (come 2023) to launch a wholeass unfair investigation onto one of them, based on the MOST groundless claims?? Like wtf?? (Talking abt Susie Wolff here). Also, the whole Cristian Horner situation really showed just how much they care about women working under them, bc tell me why the possible victim in his situation was the one getting SUSPENDED, while this possible filth of a man is still parading shamelessly around the paddock?? Like??? AND SOME OF THE DRIVERS COMMENTS ON THE SIRUATION?? pissed me off so much u dont even understand. Anyway, my last point on this convo is how women should ALSO be taken accountable of their actions, and not just glossed over because they’re ‘women’, over here im specifically talking abt Bianca Bustamante and her liked tweet which calls lance stroll autistic… girl :| and her apology was so atrocious as well. T-T

Numéro 2: The fact that not ONE driver (excluding Lewis Hamilton — that man is so much more than a driver) has spoken up/ posted about the situation pisses me off SO much bc?? THOUSANDS of people are dying, and with the platform you have, the fans you have, you could have such a positive effect! This is ESPECIALLY targeted on the drivers so I FULLY KNOW have control of their accounts (Charles Leclerec, Esteban Ocon, Lando Norris [GOD DO I HAVE ALOT TO SAY ABT HIM], Pierre Gasly, etc) bc tell me why drivers are fully capable of uploading a post 2 years ago stating how the WHOLE of F1 stands with Ukraine (which i do applaud them for) but cant say SHIT abt the same situation occuring in Gaza, but SO much worse?? Lando can genuinely go f himself, bc as much as i used to adore him there’s no way he did NOT know abt the atrocities happening in Palestine, no way he did not know abt the company boycott when he decided to fully display that Starbucks logo on his little reel. And IF (literally a 0.0000001% chance, bc by then a 1000 articles were already written on it and the WHOLE world was aware) he genuinely didn’t know, then that is just ignorant as fuck. Icel. Anyway, literally all drivers should be held accountable, no matter if they’re ur favs or not; I like Carlos a lot but that doesn’t mean i dont get the ick every time i think abt the fact he’s stayed completely silent on the matter. OH MY GOD, DONT get me started on lance stroll and his confirmed (yes, i DO fact check) Zionist girlfriend, like?? Ew.

Can i also just say, that if any of u are gonna msg me saying ‘oH bUt NeP, thE FIA BanNeD AnY anD aLl PoliTiCaL StAtEmEnTS’ Shut up. If you guys could just READ the rest of the statement, you'd know that this rule only applies to when the drivers are ACTIVELY in the paddock. The FIA has literally included the fact that driver can do WHATEVER the want, stand up for WHOEVER they want in their personal lives – which brings me to my next point,

Numéro 3: The FIA bans any and all political statements in the paddock, (without their written consent) YET INVITES TRUMP (a man who has been charged with EIGHTY EIGHT criminal offenses) to the race, is the most disgusting and hypocritical thing ive seen in all my years of watching F1. And don't even get me started on all the shit lando said abt him, like bro?? What are you saying?? Why are you saying these things?? I get u cant speak bad abt him, but that does NOT mean u need to praise him to the sun and back. T-T

That's my rant! Additional reminder abt ppl bringing up how '*retired driver (insert name)* would NOT stand for this, and would post and talk ALL abt palestine if they were still racing,' this is a reminder that those drivers are still alive and well, with WORKING platforms and can STILL do all those things now if thry CHOOSE to :]

Intro post! (Finally)

Hey there! My name's Ragatha! I'd love to meet all the lovely people here, so please don't hesitate to drop by!

Though.. I gotta set some ground rules, so here.

TWs: This blog often contains knives, gory descriptions, self-destruction, and mentions of suicide. If these topics trigger you, please look with caution. Posts are tagged with TWs.

Rules:

- Please don't send me sexual stuff!

-(Don't argue over shipping. It's kind of stupid. Pomni x Ragatha is the main ship here, but other ships may be implied.)

-(For any out of character questions or concerns, go to @modwalnut.)

- Please be nice to others! (This does not apply to Ragatha. Make her cry.)

(More rules may be added in the future.)

Working on a tagging system!

Requests!

∗ ࣪ ˖༺ ♡ ༻˖ ࣪ ∗ ∗ ࣪ ˖༺ ♡ ༻˖ ࣪ ∗ ∗ ࣪ ˖༺ ♡ ༻˖ ࣪ ∗

Hello, hello all! I am officially opening my requests on this account and will be going over little fine details, blah blah blah, you know the drill.

If you came from my old blog—perfect! You already know!

Anywho, here is the info for new people!

Fandoms:

My Hero Acadamia

Bungou Stray Dogs

Haikyuu

Genshin Impact

Honkai: StarRail

Tears of Themis

HunterXHunter

Jujutsu Kaisen

Baldur’s Gate 3

Persona (3, 4, 5)

Tokyo Revengers

Length:

Anything from 100-1000 will probably take me less than a week to write, so I will likely post it within seven days of me accepting the request

1k+ MAY take me more than a week to post since I am still a humble college student🙂‍↕️

If it is multiple people, it will likely take me at least a week to post (it really depends idk)

If it’s from my main fandoms (ie. BSD, MHA, GI) I will likely post it quicker!

Type’s:

SMAU’s are open to multiple characters from multiple fandoms for a request. (ex. pranking them ft. Dazai, Fyodor, Kaeya, Choso…)

Written short scenarios will be the same as the previous.

I may write 18+ content on the occasion, but it really depends on if I am comfortable with it or not. For now, 18+ WRITTEN requests will be closed. SMAU’s are not, for now. (None of this applies to Persona 5 as they will always be closed off. Persona 3 + 4 would open since they are over age in the Persona 5 timeline) (A/N: P5 takes place about a decade after P3)

Lengthy requests are usually for a few characters, but I am willing to write for more than 4! This does not include full-length fanfics!!! I do not accept them, as they take quite a long time to complete. (Ex. 5+ chapters with 1k+ words in each)

Character x Character depends on which ship it is, but I write for basically anything (except pro ships and weird ships)

Rules:

Just don’t request anything weird or illegal bro😭

Alright go crazy people #lovey’all #will do almost anything for y’all since ur the reason I’m still motivated

[blueharborhq]

Hello, Blue Harbor! Happy Monday, and more importantly, happy ( almost ) fall! As you may have already noticed, with the changing of the seasons, us admins have decided to do some housekeeping on the main. Over the weekend, we installed a brand new theme with matching graphics to better represent the time of year! We think this is a wonderful idea to keep things fresh, not only for us but for you all as well, so do expect similar updates every few months or so moving forward. For now, have a look around the new blog! If there's any questions about where a specific page is located, don't hesitate to reach out and we'll point you in the right direction! That's not all, though! Alongside this housekeeping, we also figured that it was an excellent time to do some general maintenance, including but not limited to: updating our guidelines, reorganizing the news blog, adding fresh locations, and more! We ask that you please continue to read through this post in its entirety to familiarize yourself with all that may have changed.

GUIDELINE ADJUSTMENTS —

Starting on Sunday, September 22nd, we will no longer be accepting hiatus requests on the day of activity checks. While generally we have considered ourselves to be pretty lenient with hiatus requests, as we completely understand that this group is a hobby and should come secondary to real life commitments, we also understand that it may be unfair to other members if we continue to allow hiatus requests at the last minute. This is not to say that we will be striking the hammer down completely on this, since sometimes unexpected circumstances lead to dips in our online presence, but we simply ask that you uphold communication with us if you find yourself needing a hiatus, activity extension, etc! We're still here to help, and are more than willing to come to a solution so long as we're kept in the loop!

Additionally, we will no longer be allowing members to take up multiple ( 2+ ) wanted connections for the same mun. This does not apply for connections that currently exist within the game, but rather for character applications moving forward. We absolutely love that everyone is so interested in connections — to be entirely honest, we've never seen a group so eager to snatch them up, and we couldn't be more thankful for it — but in an effort to move forward with our inclusivity expectations, we'd like to implement this rule to further incentivize all members to branch out of their comfort zones!

OPERATION ADJUSTMENTS —

In regards to the Blue News blog, the weekly column will instead shift to the monthly column, posting on the first of every month. This ensures that we as admins can take the time to cook up new ideas and keep things fun and fresh for everyone, quality over quantity! This also gives you guys, our members, more freedom to make submissions of your own. If you have any submissions that you would like to make throughout the month, do not hesitate to fill out the form and it will be included in the next issue!

The weekly radio playlists will return, but biweekly, starting today! No big spiel on this, we simply have regained the time to put them together! The link to the playlist can be found here if you'd like to listen.

MISCELLENIOUS ADJUSTMENTS —

We've added four new locations! Including a lover's lane, country club, an impending multicultural institute and the renovation of one of Blue Harbor's favorites ...

Ahead of the last announcement, we have decided to re-enable the anonymous feature. However, please continue to be mindful. Questions and comments are perfectly acceptable, but outright rude messages will not be tolerated. Both of us continue to be open to kind and constructive conversation, but still withhold the right to disable the feature in the future if need be. We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding!

We have also decided that there will be a temporary ban on two careers: lawyers and writers, due to overabundance. This change will be listed on our application for future reference, and will be announced once it's taken off.

Last, but certainly not least, we will be expanding our mun count to 35! We are so honored and grateful to have kept up with being at full capacity for this long, and thought it'd be best to open a few spots to introduce new players to our lovely little community!

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding, once again, as we implement these updates. Please toss this post a like after you've read it, and as usual, if there are any questions, comments or concerns, you're more than welcome to address them to the main.

Ask Copy Eclipse AU!!

Welcome to my blog! If you want to know about me click here! This is my main blog btw I got nowhere else to be :)

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ──────── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Rules:

Nothing inappropriate

please treat the characters nicely

you may pat and hug and gift things to the characters or smth

basically every other rule to other typical ask blogs/rules apply here too

don’t keep spamming the same ask over and over if I don’t answer it. If you do I will never ever answer it.

Fanart for the boys are allowed! No need to ask!

main info post I have for it rn is this. I’m making a master post. I will infodump on you below the cut tho :)

MASTERPOST

that’s your cue! Let me or Copy or anyone else answer your everlasting questions!

So far only one person has a different look than how they look in the actual show, and it’s Eclipse, or Copy if you’d rather call him that to avoid confusion.

Infodump! Here we go!

Imported from the post linked above

This AU takes place just after Eclipse died and Lunar came back. Sun didn’t kill Bloodmoon either! Killcode’s still alive, too. Also, Solar hasn’t and never will move in in this AU (sorry Solar enjoyers) Long story short, Lunar claimed to want to give Eclipse a second chance before he had died, but since he was dead it was too late for that. Or was it? Moon rebuilt Eclipse, purposely making sure that he would never get his memories back hoping he’d turn out better in the end. To hide his copy’s past, Moon made it clear that nobody could ever mention what Eclipse was like before and thus Copy’s/Eclipse’s life was all a complete lie and he didn’t know it. They lied about everything, and if Eclipse ever found out he’d be Fanart and questions and anything else is appreciated! I’ll most likely post an ‘Ask Copy Eclipse AU’ thing soon bc I’m fixated on this rn if you got questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Comments or in the ask box are good!

So, adding additional information, Lunar wasn’t told Eclipse was coming back with no memories and was just a mere copy of his body, voice, and a bit of his snotty attitude. Moon lied and said there was no way for him to return with memory.

In hein sight, Moon basically is the most to blame for how Eclipse/Copy is living his life now—memoryless and clueless— but he doesn’t know that nor does anyone else.

Copy has pretty honestly gone about his days pretty normal ever since he “woke up”. Never had problems with a virus or anything like old moon had, but for some reason he has terrible nightmares and fever dreams about him doing terrible things. He’s spoken to Moon about it but every time he brought it up to any of his siblings, they dismissed it quickly saying it was “just a dream”. Strange.

this post will be edited as lore rolls in and as I add to the au

[fantasy-anatomy-analyst]

Do you have any advice on how to go about designing monsters and animals and the like? I like the idea of creating those kinds of things but I always blank on how to go about it, like I know little facts like Allen's Rule but I don't know how to find out about something like that intentionally or even think of it for my thing. (me when I have no idea how to explain that I have no idea how to research smth lol)

first I've heard of Allen's Rule, so that probably says a lot about the fact that I'm mostly self taught lol.

here's the wikipedia page about it for anyone else who didn't know.

to sum up, it is a rule stating that animals in cold climates tend to have shorter/thicker appendages while animals in hot climates tend to have longer/thinner ones. Arctic hare vs desert hare, as an example.

the first thing to do when you want to design anything is to do a lot of studies. just in general. look up images of any animal or insect and draw sketches studying how they're built. do it for people too! you'll always be better at making new designs if you have a basic understanding of how real things are shaped and how they function.

study from videos by sketching fast gesture poses as you watch the creatures in motion! I have also done this while attending sports and dance performances. studying bodies in motion by watching olympic athletes or videos of people trying and failing to do a sport. just study the heck out of everything you can! it's as simple as putting down some lines and shapes to show the main body forms. heavier detail studies are also useful! tracing images in order to study the details is not wrong. I do it all the time, as you can see in a lot of the advice posts I make! I frequently provide traced images of the creature references I've found in order to show my process of breaking down the simplified body shapes.

my actual sketch process often looks like this:

(image description: multiple layers of very loose scribbly sketches in different colors. visible notes on two layers of sketches read "aerial silks dance" and "flying birds". the clearest and topmost layer of sketch is a humanoid figure with wings, performing a dance.

as you might be able to see if you can even begin to parse the mess that is all my study sketching, the final pose sketch I made here for my bird dude Morianon doing a little dance does not even match the poses I sketched from reference videos! This is because gesture sketch studies like these are more based on vibes than accuracy! They're a good way to warm up and practice making really fast gestural doodles that just show the form and motion more than anything well proportioned. It also frees you of the pressure to draw anything perfect! this is messy on purpose! you gotta be messy, it's how learning works.

and then once you're more confident with speed studies, you can get more specific with detail studies. all of this is essential if you want to be able to design creatures. it's all about artistic confidence and developing the skills to notice details. and then you get better at applying those details.

I have two posts on how to study and use references! one over here focused on humans. and another one here about non humans.

this is getting longer than I expected lol. I have other posts on my to-do list that will also be helpful to you I think, and you can explore the links on my pinned post to find more advice on a lot of topics! I might have to make a post on the more general topic of "how do I even get started on designing a creature?" because it is kind of the whole premise of this blog, huh? I have a lot of advice for people who already have a solid idea and just need some advice to overcome a few obstacles along the way, but I don't think I've made a proper advice post for what to do when you don't even have a starting idea.

the tldr version of creature creation is this:

pick a niche (mountain people, flying predator, burrowing creature)

study real life creatures in similar niches

start throwing ideas at your page until something sticks and then take the things that stick and build on them until it feels good

refine your design

My Yoyo Design(s)!!!!

While messing around w/ the Yoyo doodle from my last blog post, I found that adjusting the hue by 25% to the right gets you his jsrf palette. Coincidence or not, I ran with that logic and thought of creating a new Yoyo design with what I got from sliding the hue adjustor all the way to the right : purple and blue.

But before running with purple jacket blue hair Yoyo just like dat, I wanted to try n analyze his canon looks n take note of the constants in both desoigns which are : red ractangular shades, baggy clothing, hanging belt, hooded upper wear, dark-colored bottom wear, bigger (compared to others) round yellow hued skates, and ofc his smug ass grin.

More importantly, his character color palette utilizes red, orange, yellow, green, and blue only which made this redesign thing a little challenging,,,

,,,and challenging it was 😵‍💫 i wanted to try pushing a 7 hue palette on him to sort of break from his usual scheme and make the look more ‘new’ buut obviously it didn’t work out. so i stuck with the usual 5 hue limit and wowers it works!!!

As for the design itself i wanted to go for a layered look. Gave him a cargo vest cus i thought it’d look sick on em + gives off the same tactical look his “bullet sling” looking sash from his future design does. Instead of a hanging belt, I went with a hanging suspender (?) similar to what tripp pants have. Double layer ripped jeans for a way to add color to the usual dark bottom wear, also to have (lime) green stand out in his overall look similarly with his canon designs. As for the skates…they’re not exactly skates. He’s wearing sneakers but with this chunky round skates sole that’s removable so he can wear/show off his counterfeit sneaker collection while being able to skate around town. For the sake of this design, I wanted the sneakers and soles to have a similar yellowish hue to counter the usual yellow skates with black/navy grey design. Similar to future, his hair is exposed but it’s messy and unkempt like what i assume his og hair is. Lastly, the shades are all-red and sport-like in shape.

In the end, I am satisfied with how he looks but I still wanted to make a Yoyo design based on my own tastes and color scheme. So here’s anotha wan!!!!!!!!

Originally just an alt color palette, I turned it into its own design cus why not.

This time I’m following the idea that instead of a hue adjustment, his hair is the color of the previous design’s jacket which is turquoise! 5 hue rule applies here too.

Kept the same idea for the shoes, but now his socks can be seen. His hair roots are grown out (though i personally think it’s just bleached). He’s got a headband keeping his bangs away, orange fingerless arm warmers, and lime ish olive green cargo pants. Jacket is now royal blue going indigo cus i’ve always thought it’s his favorite color n i really just wanted to see it as a main color in his design from just his og skate wheels color. Instead of a belt, the open rings in his jacket have three ribbons hanging made to look like an arrow, in reference to the arrow designs on his og skates as well. Aaand lastly the shades, kinda wanted to stick with all red again but what if red frames and white/transparent lens 🧐 an inversion of his og sunglasses. It’s asymmetrical in shape to form a silly eye expression.

Anyway that iz all, designing these were an inch resting experience. Considering doing other character redesigns as well but not anytime soon, i got other stuff going on.

I’m kind of surprised that the whole heteronormativity BL discourse turned into me hating femme men and wanting every man to be masc. It’s doubly nuts because the story I described that got the brunt of this was one I made because of a certain masculine gay character trope that I really hated, to the point where my idea of fixing it was to basically make him sensitive and soft and a yuri on ice fan, and bullied for his lack of masculinity. If I find myself hating or feeling negatively about any part of a BL story it’s usually because of the actions of the top/seme character.

If a BL is bad, or I don’t know if it’s good or not, or I think there’s any bad writing moments at all, the top is usually the problem. This rule applies even if I think the top is a great character. This applies even if the bottom is a fucking terrorist who crippled an innocent young woman and tortured her for hours and never once grows as a person the whole story. (to be clear I really like the story i’m talking about and would recommend it, halfway across by dracze, but it’s still insane how the top basically NEEDS to be at the more toxic one in the relationship if the story has any flavor whatsoever). I know there are obviously exceptions, I can’t name a single one at the moment.

None of what i’m saying is a criticism of BL or of masc gay characters, i’m just saying that way too many people jumped to one specific conclusion about me based on my words. I really hope this doesn’t turn into discourse about me hating masc gay men and wanting everyone to be femme or some shit. I’d probably rage quit the internet for a week if that happened.

You are the only one who can't let this go. Everyone else forgot about it five minutes after it happened... or would have if your ongoing behavior didn't remind them.

--

As I've explained numerous times, people respond to the subtext and vibe of what a person writes as much as to their literal words. You said a bunch of shit that was laden with buzzwords and dogwhistles from communities with bad attitudes. People picked up on that.

You send lots of lengthy posts that are hard to parse and that come out of nowhere. And no, "you don't have to answer this but..." is not the ass-covering you think it is. I have to at least look at the posts in my inbox to evaluate them before they go in the queue. Normally, I don't mind if the same person sends me lots, and I don't care if they're all super interesting, but yours are particularly self-absorbed, boring, and horribly-written.

They're always phrased like "I think X about media Y". They don't invite discussion. They aren't tied to past conversations on here. They don't show the slightest spark of interest in what others think.

You apparently want eyeballs on your writing, both creative and nonfiction asks, but you're incapable of showing genuine interest in others. If these posts are an attempt to interact rather than to just say words in front of an audience, it sure doesn't show in the final product.

The posts people respond better to are just written better, but they are also more obviously part of a dialogue that treats other readers of my blog as peers, not a spigot dispensing free attention.

--

Why should anyone care why you dislike one BL or another? I get that you're trying to prove something about yourself, but why should anyone care about that either?

You are not the main character in other people's lives.

You're treating this like some need to clear your name, but fundamentally, that's assuming any of this matters to other people. It doesn't outside of refuting a given comment on a given post and then, like I said, forgetting about it five minutes later.

--

Every time you ask a new question, it just demonstrates the same lack of clue as before. For example, you recently asked (in part):

"What would changing my behavior look like? I have full plans to write […]"

It does not matter what comes in place of that ellipsis because no one cares what you do in your own art.

No one ever had an issue with your art because nobody has consumed it. And, to be honest, plenty of people have perfectly fine values for things they do. The fact that you do or don't include problematic thing X or proship stance Y in your own art is not proof of anything.

The issue is in how people talk to others about other people's art.

Endlessly trying to bring up your own work just looks like pointless grandstanding. Meanwhile, the vibe when you chat with others here has not really changed. There's still a strong subtext of unexamined assumptions and desire to make everything about yourself.

It's not about swapping out word X or Y. It's about your overall writing ability and command of subtext, which is poor. Really, really poor.

It's also about moronic statements like:

Like would it have made you mad that I said what I said if I removed those words? Because I didn't even mean them I just didn't think long enough to cut them from the post.

"Ooh, I didn't think".

Then don't fucking speak.

Or, if you do run your mouth without thinking, like most of us do sometimes, expect to suffer the consequences and don't cry like a cowardly little weasel when you do.

--

To be perfectly frank, I spend less time trying to promote my own work on here than you do. On my blog.

And I can actually write.

This constant me, me, me, me bullshit is what makes you seem selfish, self-absorbed, and like you're wasting everyone's time on purpose.

“Welcome t’ the gnarliest cinema n’ DT! S’ also the only one..”

second attempt at an intro for this one too! again as i have mentioned before; my main is @themostsanebug and you may refer to me as the fly or whatever other names you know me by

Are asks open?

yep they are!!

✎ᝰ.

Info

oliver goes by he/him pronouns.

he is a trans man, gay and polyamorous!

he is diagnosed with audhd, which i will once again probably be shown through me self projecting my own symptoms.

he wears a stupid little bell on his tail that he got from an anon. he loves it to pieces.

i have given him his own randy exclusive to this universe. this does not mean hes opposed to datin more randys from different ones however.

he may be out of character due to this being a largely self indulgent blog where i get to just. be him. sorry for anyone looking for character accuracy, can i mayhaps suggest you look at @bodacious-ringading? (SO SORRY FOR THE @) their blog is much more accurate than mine!

the cinema is still very much open in this universe and he still runs the counter!

him and billy have a more brotherly relationship as well! as much as he tries to deny it.

✎ᝰ.

Rules

sexual/suggestive asks are still fine, but please dont make them the main focus much like last time.

do not spam aggressive/violent asks on anon. some are fine and will be answered but others will just be responded to with “read the rules.”

same thing applies to romantic asks.

roleplaying is heavily encouraged! other character interactions and ocs are all welcome here!

no nsfw/heavily violent asks, ill simply delete the ask and maybe block you.

basic dni (no zoos/maps/etc.)

no venting in the askbox, i cant handle my own problems let alone someone elses!

no spamming the same ask over and over either!

i am free to delete whatever asks i please. keep that in mind.

[ghost-of-ecruteak]

Good of you to come.

Hello. My name is Morty. I am Ecruteak's Gym Leader, and a Spirit Medium. I figured that this would be a good place to talk about Ghost Pokémon, Johto's history and culture, and myself, if anyone is interested.

You are always welcome to send an ask, and I will try to respond to the best of my abilities!

About!

Hello Hello! This is the mod behind @the-drayster! Morty is one of my favorite characters from Pokemon, as well as being from my favorite region (Sorry Drayton!). So, I've decided to make a ghosty boy blog.

The ask tag is #a whisper on the wind

Pelliper Mail is ON!

Magic Anons are OFF!

Sentient Pokemon may interact, though due to both the nature of the blog and my own headcanons, interactions may be deemed "Noncanon," viewed in-character as a roleplayer, or based on alternate universes. I won't personally seek sentient pokemon interactions, but by no means does that mean don't interact with ME!

The same rules apply for legendary blogs for the most part. The EXCEPTION to that is Ho-Oh, Lugia, Suicune, Entei, or Raikou blogs. Morty will automatically assume it's someone roleplaying, and will be likely to chastise them for assuming such important figures' identities. Ho-Oh and Lugia, and by extension the legendary beasts, are incredibly important to Morty. If you aren't okay with him getting upset with your blog because it's about one of those Pokémon, do not interact, or specify that beforehand.

Some general information:

This blog will be very headcanon heavy, for multiple reasons. The main one being that, Morty, as an older game Gym Leader, didn't get a whole lot of character building.

The other main reason being that I have a lot of headcanons about the Johto Region. It's history, culture, religions, all of it. Morty, as a character who is very invested in a major legendary/deity, gives me a way to talk about the random worldbuilding I've thought up without going out of character.

Another thing is that this blog will contain themes of death. Morty is a ghost type trainer, and one who can speak to ghosts themselves. You can always ask me to tag something with a content or trigger warning, I won't get mad.

So if that isn't your cup of tea, I apologize. This may not be the blog for you. If it is, then great! Always feel free to send an ask about whatever. Those are what keep me going.

Now some less general information:

I already linked the about up in the main part of this post, which has most of the information that you "need" to know about Morty. But, on a more behind the scenes note, here's some stuff.

I personally am a fan of Honorshipping (Morty/Falkner). For the most part, I doubt that I'll make direct comments about Morty being in a relationship with Falkner, but I may hint at it. For an in-character explanation, while Morty isn't against being open about his relationship, Falkner is more reserved, and Morty respects that. Posts about Falkner will be tagged with #little bird

What I will make direct comments about is Morty and Eusine. While Morty isn't in a romantic relationship with Eusine, and has no want for one, the two are very close. They have a sort of queerplatonic relationship going on, and that isn't going anywhere. Morty is always happy to talk about Eusine. Posts about Eusine will be tagged with #an old friend

Both Falkner and Eusine may occasionally appear as characters on the blog. Posts by Falkner will be colored blue and tagged with #the wind blows , while posts by Eusine will be colored purple and tagged with #suicune searcher

All of that being said, I hope you all enjoy this blog as much as I hope I do. Thank you!!

Pinned Post

Owner’s Info: Owner is 18+, uses she/her pronouns. Main blog is @yumiko-shigaraki, ranting blog is @oc-rants I was going to have it just be for Yumiko but I have more ocs that I know I’ll end up ranting about.

Yumiko’s Basic Info: Yumiko/Yūka is 19/20, uses she/her pronouns, pansexual (with a male preference), and is Tomura’s younger sister. She also has a girlfriend named Katsumi up until the League becomes more well known/around the time the bar hideout is raided.

Things To Keep In Mind When Interacting With Yumiko: 

Yumiko is fairly flirty, and not a very loyal partner, so if you want your muse and her to be together, keep in mind that she will most likely not be loyal to your muse unless we are in DMs. 

Yumiko is frightened of AFO, if he is your muse she will not give very long responses.

Yumiko shows favoritism towards Dabi, Toga, Twice, and Spinner.

Yumiko is likely to lash out with certain topics, especially if they are about her/Tomura/AFO/stuff like that.

Yumiko does not want to be touched without warning.

Yumiko/Dabi Stuff

Under the cut is info on her quirk, backstory, and rules

Her Quirk(s) (it makes sense if you read her story):

Her born quirk is hypothermia. When all five of her fingers make skin to skin contact with another creature, she can give it hypothermia. The colder her body temperature is, the more deadly the effects, and it can potentially make frostbite form over and around the contact area. Due to her quirk, her normal body temperature is 96°F, and it is much easier for her to suffer a heatstroke, since her body has a lower threshold until it overheats.

Her Quirks Given To Her By AFO:

Regeneration, the user can regenerate body parts/heal wounds at an increased rate.

Resurrection, she can revive a person within a thirty-minute time frame of death, but she is not aware of this quirk.

Increased Muscle, it makes it easier for the user to increase muscle mass/strength. While a normal person might work out for weeks before seeing results, this quirk would cause them to see results within days. 

Tiger's Bite, this gives the user the bite force of a tiger.

Shock Absorption, y’all know what this is already.

Blog Rules: 

Under no circumstances should minors send suggestive or full nsfw asks or submissions to Yumiko. 

If you are an adult and your muse is under 18, the same applies unless your muse is explicitly aged up. 

Be respectful to the owner. 

AUs are allowed, just specify if that's what you want the RP to be.

Understand Yumiko’s backstory and trauma is not pleasant. Her backstory will be posted with the appropriate content warnings, if they trigger you, do not read her backstory or engage in those topics with her.

If I block you, do not make a new blog to interact with me. This has been an issue on my main, don’t let it be an issue here too.
