[crystallizsch]

Hi...I'm new to the twst fandom, and i saw you help out someone else with recommendations so i was hoping you could help me tooo? 🥺 I'm worried about bothering people with asks and stuff, so i was wondering if you had any recommendations for blogs of nice/welcoming people in the fandom? 👉👈 It would be nice to make some friends...

You seem really friendly and welcoming, which is why I managed to send this...I just don't want to annoy anyone...💔💀 Thanks!!!!!!!!

AWHH HELLO HI WHAT THANK YOU SO MUCH??

i sometimes worry that i may be too overwhelming (if that’s the right word for it???) to even approach so that means so much to hear 😭💖💕

also i MAY have rambled too much,,, i ended up giving (unsolicited) advice as well im so sorry but i just wanted to say some additional things too about making friends in the fandom in general 🤧

anyways anon it’s all right under the cut 💖

AAGH FIRSTLY welcome to the twst fandom!! so glad to see you joining in!

i’ve only been in the fandom since the beginning of this year actually! and so far as my experience goes it’s been so fun!! people create amazing things and share amazing ideas with one another so i hope you enjoy your stay!

ALSO it makes me happy that you even think i’m approachable enough for recs 😭💖

i'm admittedly very biased though because a lot of the blogs i consider nice/welcoming are already mutuals/friends of mine 🤧

and i’m lowkey highkey kind of shy mentioning them again ahglsjdlsalk so i’d like to point you back to that original post here even though im assuming that you literally just came from there 😭

im so sorry i couldnt be more helpful with recs 😭💔 but all of them i do consider pretty nice blogs!!

ANYWAYS PLEASE DONT WORRY ABOUT “ANNOYING” ANYONE YOU ARE NOT A BOTHER most people love receiving asks/interactions!!

i really understand the feeling though!! it’s hard making that first move sometimes,,, and honestly (i know it sounds incredibly cliche but) you’ll never really know if you’ll click with someone here until you try!!

and i'm not sure if you post or not but! it's definitely how I've met the people i’m mutuals/friends with here!

i’ve made friends with others who regularly/every now and then reblog with nice tags or comments on my posts ;;; and i do the same on my main blog! i tend to leave a lot of tags when i reblog posts that i like

and sometimes it just,,, happens??? especially if you and the other person have a shared interest in the fandom!

anyways,,,

send people asks!! reblog with nice tags!! comment!! just let other people that you're there!! the right people for you will reciprocate 💖💖💖 (also this is in no way being against people who just prefer to silently lurk/interact btw i still appreciate you guys 🫶 this is just for if you want to interact more and make friends in the process!!)

but that's just me!!

similar to what i said on the original post i encourage you to find and interact with other people that you think you would vibe with!!

there's a lot of different corners in this fandom that are into way different things about the game than me. and the people that i vibe with might not necessarily vibe with you which is not anyone's fault!! it’s just the way it is 💖

(also i forgot to mention this in my original post --- i'm not sure if you're a minor or not so make sure if you decide to check out some blogs allow minors to interact 🙏 ) (and a lot of blogs outline their boundaries and rules on their intro posts that are pinned so keep that in mind!)

i have no idea how to end this hsjshsjs but generally just find others who like the same twst things as you and interact with them!! it’s okay to do little by little until you’re comfortable, there is never any rush 🫶

AGAIN i hope you have fun here and i wish you the best!! 💖💖💕

[twiceland]

[yukikorogashi]

I followed you because I was very interested in your character & was excited to see someone new - especially from a series I had personally never seen before ! It gave me Guilty Gear vibes & I was willing to take a chance learning. Stayed because, well, what can I say ? I found an amazing friend in you & over the years, we only became closer ! You're such a wonderfully kind person & I am so grateful to call you my friend. I support you in every way ! Not only that, but I found myself invested in the world Itsuki was from & was happy to learn of the others, which only interested me more & more! I'm always learning something new about her, her friends & her origins. I ALSO LOOK UP THE SERIES YOU TALK ABOUT & will one day cry over youtube compilations of anime portrayals of your muses to you. I stay because you are simply wonderful & Itsuki is ALSO wonderful ( her friends, too, of course !!! )

tell  me  why  you  followed  my  blog  and  tell  me  what  made  you  stay.

Oh @hamadaxfighter... 🥺 You are always going above and beyond, I swear. 😭 You really are just the sweetest, most loving gem I have ever had the honour of knowing in this lifetime. But oh gosh... that's the first time I have had Itsuki compared to that? And honestly it's kind of a crime that I have never checked out the Guilty Gear series, save for some cool fanworks I have seen of their really fun character designs! But thank you! I'm so glad that you gave her a chance all those years back, and followed me back! ;u;

And oh man, I should be the one saying all of this to you! I am the lucky fool that found such an amazing friend, and I still wish I could properly express just how grateful I am and how much I love you, gir. ;; And I'm so happy when people are interested to learn more about Itsuki and the world of Basara! It's funny, because what also appealed to me about her was how she was one of the odd ones out in that series? Like yes, I love my battle loving, samurai boys who take the center stage in nearly every piece of Basara media... but characters like Itsuki need more attention too! Especially since she represents the forces that go AGAINST the corrupted samurai folks!

But okay OKAY PFT!!! I hope you have fun checking out Gakuen Basara when you can! Again, I'm just so happy that she's actually in a Basara anime series LOL (And no, her appearing in the credits of one of the older ones DOES NOT COUNT)! Thank you again for all the love and support that you have given her, my other muses, and me! ;.; And know how much Itsuki adores you and most of your muses AWUEHAWU!!! (Side eyes them demon boys... WHICH BTW THOSE INTERACTIONS ARE ALSO GIVING ME LIFE HAHA--) You know that your son is also welcome in the homes of so many of my muses-- looks at Douma AUHEAUWHEUH!!! God I'm so sorry...

[castlebyersafterdark]

you are never too sappy! (congrats btw! + big love to the mike to your will... i see that blue heart and height difference mention 😉) the balance works so well so far. like a little glimmer of you. especially as its always relevant through a byler prism, so youre not making it all about you at all. i cant believe how cosy it is here. i genuinely await your writing like i would a new published novel hahaa. i also was going through my likes and saw an anon post on spicybylerpolls from february. it mentioned the sears catalogue and byler's fantasies and i had adored it at the time. rereading now, i'm like... VINNY?!?!? hahaha maybe it's not you but it's textbook and the style of writing and openminded humbleness felt very you. love.

especially love the self-acceptance journey you seem to be on here, allowing yourself nerdery, allowing yourself spice in byler forums, keeping a healthy eye on your online habits! + growing to love yourself more through will perhaps, keeping up with your writing, learning you kind of love cringe roleplay sex in fic?!?!? hehehehehe and also realisations that you may or may not want to share! its all gold dust - and honestly, this feels like blogs as i knew them growing up, like wordpress, blogspot, etc. proper old blogs where it's just right mix of artistic and personal.

x

Thanks, I feel so happy being here, everyone is so sweet 😘 Saving the dash from my personal rambles:

I didn't want to ruin it by changing things up too much. But, I do kinda want to talk about whatever here and post the occasional non-Byler stuff, still mostly the normal fandoming and spicy posting like I've been doing. Keeping the chill vibes. This does feel very much like a different type of blogging than I'm used to. It's cool. Even if people get sick of me or lose interest, I'll pretend that's not the case hahaha. Corny as hell, but it feels safe here.

Incredibly flattered that you look forward to my writing! I've always wrote fic and original pieces and scripts and loved it but had zero confidence. Did it anyway. I still have a lot of growth to work through with my writing when I decide to post polished fics, but that's fun now, feels different. I have so much in the wheelhouse. It'll fuel me to season 5 and beyond, I'm pretty sure.

That's funny you mention the spicypolls account, because I HAD to go searching through their archive and I found that post - wow, I see what you mean. The typing style certainly could make you think it's me, and it was an excellent post but full disclosure - I've never sent anything into that blog before! I only started this blog in May (whoa! 2 months?? Feels a lot longer!) and I genuinely only lurked and never interacted anywhere on the spicy corner before I converted this account, even on anon.

And I never thought I'd learn things about myself through something as genuinely kind of silly as what is, at its core, an explicit head-canon and writing blog for a fictional fandom ship. Hahahaha. But here I am. Feeling a little more confident in embracing my vulnerabilities and weirdness. Weirdness isn't bad! It's stuff I've known but it's different when you just live your life, instead of actually talking about it outside of your brain. Helps me feel less embarrassed after posting here sometimes - I look back over what I post and just cringe on occasion but power through a little easier lately!!

And ohhh it always comes back to the cringe roleplay, doesn't it 😏 Which has been a fun exercise in letting myself play around and try new things in general, with writing. With real life. Be a little weirdo. Find your people. Stay authentic.

Thanks for this one, it's a little self-indulgent, rambling about myself, but it made me smile. ❤️ Incredibly corny, but this is the kind of environment I think I've always been searching for online, but looked in all the wrong places. So, ughhhh. Finally.

[aruanimess]

This is luca’s main blog! Apparently u can’t do asks with a side blog? Anyways, what do u like to do when ur not writing/working? 😊 (Sending healing vibes btw! ☀️)

Hi, Luca!!

Yeah, you can't send asks from a sideblog 😕 which is why you'll see my main @myrtlesandasphodels when I'll eventually drop by your askbox ☺️. Also, thank you for your well wishes, I'm feeling better every day!

Okay, this might sound boring, but I really like walking. Getting a coffee to go and strolling around the city for hours and hours is my typical weekend routine. We usually end up at some cool place to eat too because my boyfriend is Sasha Braus come to life, so that's fun as well.

Other than that, I enjoy art a lot, in all of its facets, so if the opportunity presents itself for me to visit a gallery or a museum or a performance, I'll take it for sure. I also have many actor friends so I watch a lot of plays as well, which is honestly one of my favourite things to do. There's something so raw and powerful about theater that you just don't get while watching a film or a show.

In general, I like thought-provoking things. Video essays are a big one for me. I just love it when people explain complex matters or niche interests to me in more or less layman terms. I'm not trying to pretend that I'm some sort of intellectual type, I just like thought experiments and pondering issues that are not clear-cut. I obviously read a lot too. Anything I can get my hands on, really, whether literature or nonfiction or fanfic.

That's pretty much it! I'd like to pick up some sort of hands-on hobby in the future, but every time I try to do that I end up giving it up after a few weeks xD. But, oh well, maybe the next one will stick 😉

Thank you for the ask! I hope you're having a nice day 💖

[quinnick]

The end of the year is near! Give a shoutout to your favorite blogs and tag them to spread positivity before the year ends! (from: a secret anon)

Okay, here goes nothing. Sorry if I miss anyone because I am speed running this with 28 minutes exactly until 2023 !!!

Without further a-do (yes? no? yes? no?), in no particular order, my list

@kidovna - just like... They make art on a different level. I love all their art and may have felt super cool when they followed me back. I love all her art an unrealistic amount and just follow for some cool art and a nice person <3

@nnilkyway - Like, he's just so cool and sweet and truly has a unique art style. I think all their art is super squishable. (Sorry, I want to pick it up and squish it all that one gif of someone petting a cat). I love seeing his art so much and also, every time I see one of their outfits I get a little jealous honestly. Love ya mwah /p

@sleepymrshmllow - cuddly art. Seriously, I wanted to squish yvie's art but Kas' art is just cuddle up with 40 blankets with hot coco and just stare at their art for eternity. I love it all and by far my favorite drawings of Mike in a skirt. Love to see it.

@strangeswift - Mwah mwah mwah (I am obsessed with mwahing right now ignore me). Obsessed with her writing forever and ever and ever and ever and -[gunshot] She's official now with her AO3 and has the most perfect Byler fluff fic up like.... shut up forever politely. Super sweet and I always love chatting with her. Everyone send her extra love because she is sick right now, btw. Always super supportive and sends me free pics of animals. I just... mwah mwah. My 2022 would have been a little lonelier without her

@elekinetic - firing all other script writers. They are the most script writer ever. They are also super nice and supportive and mwah mwah. Like, seriously. I said I wanted to try script writing and she helped me at least get some good places to start and honestly they are just so passionate about their craft and I love that. I love ya Ella /p. And yeah, super sweet as always also does some bomb edits and mood boards. I am seriously obsessed and like can't believe we are moots and friends because she is built better then me

@untitled-byler-blog - my fav fr. Love chatting with her and just got the cozy vibes. Has a lot of killer fic that makes for great bed time stories (sorry, I always say your fics are bed time story material because I love them). Forever stuck enjoying all her fics. Truly the only one who should be allowed on AO3 ever /j. A super nice person tho who I think deserves a hug. Mwah love ya /p

@ratt-duffer - RATT, sadly Ratt is in prison. Next /j /inside joke (forgot the / for that). Seriously tho!! Everyone follow them and watch their edits and read his analyses NOW. And also the track mood board?? only acceptable Will sports hc I accept forever and ever and ever. Such a sweet person and deserves all the hugs, highfives, or whatever they would prefer. thank you. Good day

Speed run because 5 minutes until midnight

@crazycoven - hasn't been super byler active at the moment but I think it the inventor of MIWI? i am not making that up? Either way, the best person forever and ever and he makes me want to watch breaking bad. I do not like breaking bad akjfhgkfhkjf <3333

@frodohaven - the coolest blog ever forever and ever. I mean?? The name??? MUST I SAY MORE???? So sweet so sweet

@finalgirlbyers - has the best url choices ever. Funny, cool, correct, and most importantly, the best ever. So a fun person. Love seeing her random posts and how many names can get said to her. Always a treat to see her on my dash. much love forever and ever mwah <3 /p

@mlchaelwheeler - We haven't talked in a minute but always love your posts hope you know you can never change your pfp. I connect you to it forever. Seriously love seeing them on my dash. Forever and ever love ya <33333 /p

[thesweetestdevotion]

hi it’s 💋💌🍸 I’m here for the feedback. Wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the readings and appreciate your time. The insights are helpful and so interesting.

1st reading: the comparison to the movie is endearing. I do feel a certain connection to this person and what you got do resonate with me but it’s just questionable sometimes with him. what’s up with the hispanic reference, this literally appears in my second ask about my future spouse too.

I asked if this person is my future spouse and it seems to be the case since you clarified. does it then mean this person is the same person from my 2nd reading about my fs?

also could you give me additional hints/insights on the future energy that you picked up on us "working together"? You mentioned in an institution or study/work from home and such. It’d be lovely to know!

2nd reading: the messages here are for real a bit random which I can’t seem to resonate with, at least for the first part but that’s alright because it doesn’t have to sometimes. Though thanks for the heads-up about the news. I do feel like I’m attracting new things to me, anticipating the best!! btw are the channeled songs/lyrics and images from the pov of my future spouse? Like that’s what they might be feeling about me or telling me when we’re together?

all in one thank you so so much! It’s fun and worth asking. Your blog is so cute btw. I love the vibe <3

have a beautiful day!

Hi!!! Im so glad you liked your reading! Honestly I didn’t even realize those two readings were connected, but the Hispanic vibes were there!! Now that o read back I definitely was channeling the same person, just wasn’t aware of it hehe. I honestly just felt an energy of you two collaborating in something related to work! and I did keep seeing a person working from home on a laptop pretty significantly! I honestly don’t know much more than what I said about that sorry 😅.

As for your second reading, I literally just kept hearing random unconnected thoughts, like someone kept switching the channel/station on a radio or tv. I’m not sure if they’re even connected or if they are relevant to your future spouse specifically. But I was guided to tell you about them! maybe they’ll become relevant later, maybe not!! The lyrics could be their feelings but honestly idk 😭😭 sorry your second reading was so random and all over the place!! I hope you liked them though

[rexplusahsoka]

Favorite Rexsoka fan fiction? Or any recommendations? And just thanks in general for having a rexsoka blog to follow. My fangirl heart needed this 🤍💙🧡🤍

Hello!! First of all, I'm terribly sorry for the late reply! ಥ_ಥ Secondly, thank you so much! 💕 I, personally, can't get enough of Rexsoka, it's like my most hardcore otp for life :D Always glad to meet new friends, all aboard our beloved ship ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

There are many wonderful Rexsoka fics both on ao3 and good ol' ff.net, and in the future I'm planning to make a big rec post, but for now, here is a very short list of some of my fave rexsoka stories:

(also, plz plz keep in mind that English is not my native language and I'm far from perfect in it, esp in grammatical things)

1) Mind Space by warriorgramma (Rated E)

Absolutely favorite one 💖 Warriorgramma is a genius of a writer, and btw all works of this author are brilliant, I honestly could sing praises to them all days and nights, just...gorgeous stuff. READ IT.

2) Something New series by imnewintown

I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm a HUGE sucker for domestic rexsoka family trope and this series fulfills all my wishes so, naturally, I love it to death. If you share my enthusiasm in this topic, you should really check it out. Includes both steamy and fluffy works. Out of all fics with similar trope, imnewintown's series forever will be my most beloved version ❤

3) There's Nothing Holding Us Back by distantdaylight (Rated E)

This fic seriosly needs more attention, it's so good 🙏 Written perfectly on all aspects, from plot to characterization, a great read that I highly recommend. But beware, not finished yet.

4) Something More by Abel_VaLore (Rated M)

A good, decent fic. Written from Rex perspective, often angsty, but with a happy end.

5) Stronger than Fate series by hrtiu (Rated from G to T)

Another wonderful, fun series that I love very much, worth every second of your time to read it.

6) War Bonds series by ArcticMatter_77 (Rated M for violence)

Who doesn't know War Bonds? Great series from start to...not finished yet xD If you like "rewrite" fics and slow burn, I think you'll enjoy this work.

7) I'm Glad You're Still Alive by Eekapizza (Rated T)

Stunning ✨✨✨The build up, the angst, the character development done perfectly and natural, 10/10, how this is not canon again? =D

8) Douse The Flames AU series by armchairaloof (Rated from T to E)

All hail armchairaloof, queen of beautiful rexsoka AUs ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

But this one is still my fave, gorgeously done modern firefighter AU with rom com vibes, CHECK CHECK CHECK

9) After the Order by Sunflower_Bundle331 (Rated M)

Highly underrated, like, wtf, wish I could leave 93723 kudos to it, cos' its honestly one of the best rexsoka fic I've read in my life with this awfully low amount of feedback. (┬┬﹏┬┬) Technically not finished, but in a sense of rexsoka it came to some sort of conclusion ;-)

10) Subterfuge by WildHoneyProse (Rated T)

I LOVE this one. Adorably tender, spot on characterization and beautiful relationship growth ❤

That's it for now 😶 more is definitely to come cos' I mentioned, like, only 10%, the ones that immediately came to mind right now =D

[tearsasmascara]

ok but i see all the 'what trope wld u associate' or 'character u wld ship them w' with moots all over my dash. so i thought of smthing different

what mutuals remind u of what characters (can be inside genshin or not, anyth honestly) it can be whether if u ship them w the character / they act like the character / their blog theme is of that character / they talk abt the character a lot etc etc anything when u look @ ur mutual like "oh they kinda talk/like/remind me of this character'

if u dont wanna do this its alr!! have a good day quinn :"")

one of ur moots (not the 'clogging up my dash' moot btw ! <3

omg hey! HI MOOT <33 how are you?? hope you’re doing well.

YES THIS SEEMS SO FUN, i’ll do the moots that pop up into my head so if i forget you ITS NOT PERSONAL I REPEAT ITS NOT PERSONAL MY MEMORY IS TRASH </3

@calyxcore def associate you with like,,, almost albedo and like,, mona? maybe it’s cause we both simp over him but the way you hold up intelligent convos with me while being passionate reminds me of albedo, but also the way your perosnality is so chaotic and distinct (in a good way) just sends MONA

@heademptynoideas EULA EULA EULA EULA, idk if it’s cause you main her or because of your blog theme but you’re so kind and sweet while also being super ‘girlbossy’ (is that the term im a granny) but yeah <3 also like you remind me of the colors blue and purple and eula just gives off those colors yeah?

@k4tsukissi BAKUGO??? like again, idk if it’s cause your blog is anlot about him but your vibes radiate major bakugo energy, the way you deal with life in such a powerful (to me it seems powerful) way and your vibes are immaculate and radiate just ‘don’t get in my way’ yk yk?

@seveninchesfrominsanity heizou. it’s not even that you simp over him from what i heard he’s a funny workaholic and that just reminds me of you in a way like,,,, and like yeah your blog is entirely heizou but sometimes in my head i say heizou instead of yuki because i associate him with you so much

@telemi we don’t interact that much butttt sucrose! you seem so sweet and shy but also a little chaotic (kind of like sucrose to me) so yeah ahdkhs

@dawndelion-winery diluc or scara, idk you all intimidate me but also you seem super chill and go with the flow-y and mainly you seem very just, in control? if that makes sense

@kazuesque probably like,,, amber maybe? you seem super energetic and so sweet and just a little bundle of joy to everyone around you

@kazu-sun KAZUHA idk if it’s cause your blog or irl but mainly cause of your writing and the way you give compliments that really touch my heart and just make me tear up but you’re so sweet like him

@yinyinggie probably like,,, hm. you’re a really sweet and kind person who seems like they can put their foot down when needed. so i’d probably say like,, maybe jean? yep yep jean!!

Hiiiii!

How's your job like usually? and when you getting off?? it's starting to get lateee. I'm starting my first job ever on monday and i'm a little nervous about it ngl :] omg the graveyard book! how do you like it? I've been meaning to start it for ages now but since the pandemic started it never really seemed to be the right time to do it. maybe i'll manage to listen to it on the commute to work :) i'm really pumped up about the new sandman tv show btw. AND the new good omens season ofc :)) what plans you having this summer? going anywhere nice? i'm honestly planning on doing as many things as possible this summer. i wanna learn how to rollerblade and i just signed up on a game dev (including VR!!) summer school and that should be nice, although i might need to buy a new computer and that's not as exciting :( also, just wanted to add that i love your blog and your journal entries even though you don't see me in your notes that much. (what's your main one? -- ofc, you don't have to answer to that if you don't want to) it always makes me happy to read about your day and Goddamn you're so organized and so so productive!! hope you're having a calm and rewarding evening. sending you hugs and all za good vibes i've got at my disposal!!

Hello! I work in my family's store on certain days and it depends a lot on days. In the mornings we have more people coming in to get newspapers and all, and afternoons can sometimes get a bit boring depemding on the day, it's really unpredictable. Good luck with your job! I am sure you'll do great and it's totally fine to be nervous about it you will learn with time,everyone has had a first day.

I had read the graveyard book as a kid and loved it but I didn't remember a single thing pther than the first scene tbh. And for this reread I've had the same experience until I found the audio version. There's one on spotify, and if I am not wrong there should also be videos of Neil Gaiman reading it himself on youtube! It's a really nice gothic-ish story for kids, I totally get why I liked it so much back then! I hope you'll enjoy once you read it! I am also super excited for the shows!!! I love the sandman so so much and I cannot wait to see it take life.

My plans for the summer are not as organized as I would like I will for certain be going to the seaside with my parents for a couple of weeks. I have always called them my "hermit weeks" cause I use them to recharge my batteries and just do nothing, hear from no one and read as much as I can. For the rest I have to work on my thesis, I have to visit the archives at least once more, so I'll be pretty busy. I hope I'll get to have some trips and visit places. I love your plans for the summeryou sound super excited about it and I really really hope you'll have fun!! I get that buying a new computer is not the best but if you really need to try to do your reaseach so that your investment will last for a good while and will support all your future projects!

Thank you so much 💜🌿 that's really sweet! My main blog is @cri080799 it's a mess of a blog but it's where my tumblr experience™ started. Amd thank you so much again, your message really brightened my day you seem super energetic my friend! I send you all the love and hope you'll have a good day/night 💜🌿

[the-girl-who-cried-wolf]

Hi emma!! How have you been? It's been so long since we last talked and I've wanted to send you an ask for a while, I just never seemed to find something to talk about lol!!! Anyway, I hope you're doing well <333 Personally I'm excited for October to start and to change my blog into a halloween theme, also really looking forward autumn and wearing sweaters and boots and just cold weather in particular!!! I hope you get to enjoy spring where you are. I know we aren't the biggest fans of warm weather but it can be good!!!! And spring is a great season (compared to summer. -not to be a hater or anything- ). Sending lots of hugs and iced coffee your way, have fun!!!!!!

(Also I'm thinking about buying some books so if you have any rec don't hesitate, love you 🤍🤍🤍🤍)

HEY MAIS!!!! i keep thinking that i should talk to you more often too, so thank you for dropping in!! i appreciate it <3

btw i LOVE your current theme!!! the vibes are so nice. and you're right, it will be fun to get to october and see the halloween aesthetics kicking in !!! i love that you get to have some lovely autumn weather atm, i hope you enjoy wearing all the comfy sweaters and boots. i get to enjoy some mild spring weather for now, as well as all the blossoming trees! so it's not all bad. (even if the threat of summer is looming in the air, which i am NOT looking forward to. not even going to try to pretend that i like summer jkfdhjbvf)

thank you for the hugs and iced coffee, much appreciated! i'm sending some hugs back, and perhaps some tea. oh and coffee as well. i love you!! <3

(as for book recs, i honestly haven't been reading much other than fanfics recently soooo i'll just give you some recs off the top of my head?? i may have already mentioned these to you but anyways- Eliza and Her Monsters, Eleanor & Park, Radio Silence (i only bought this the other day when i saw it in the store, bc i remember jo talking abt it a lot so i'm very excited to get started on it soon!). okay i am running out of ideas here. um. how do you feel abt reading plays? i started Hamlet a while ago and i've been steadily chewing through it, would probably recommend most of shakespeare's plays ?? they're interesting for sure. OH how abt The Devil Wears Prada!! that's a good read, it goes a lot deeper into the story than the movie did, which was kinda cool. )

(WAIT I ALSO HAVE A SONG REC FOR YOU !!! it's called shut up by Greyson Chance. i've had it on repeat for a few days now, the vibes and the lyrics are really cool so i think you'll like it! okay im gonna stop talking now but THANK YOU for dropping in this was lovely <3)

[storge]

thanks for replying! yeah, i was curious about your fav dramas, and to see if maybe i could find new favs. i have already bookmarked few, based on your gifsets and tags (creepy af, i know, i'm desperate). + i'm new to j-dramas, have only watched two, and you seem to watch a lot. i love your blog and your gifs, i was thirst trapped and am thriving since. you always deliver, be that gifs or tags, or both... so thank you for that. you're having fun and passing the vibe along, and i'm here for it✌

Hello again!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm just glad i can expose you to some jdramas!! I don't think its creepy or desperate at alll!!!! YES WATCH THE JDRAMAS get new FAVESSS 🙌🙌🙌🙌! And thank you so muchh your too kinddd to meeeee 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. I woudn’t be here if I wasn’t having fun soo yesss that’s all you will ever get from me. Easy breezy listen to me scream about some Dramaeezy???? idk friend i can’t rhyme 😂😂😂😂. And the fact that i thirst trapped you ahahahahaha I’m cacklinggggg. I meannnnnn thats necessary all the time sometimes.

Now i should say that after your previous ask i found out I actually do have a mdl account i made in 2020 (looool i was really motivated one day i guess). Anywayssss last night i went on an adding drama and movie spree. But honestly friend... I don't think it will help you much tho cause i rarelyyyy use the rating scale thingie. I just donttttt judge dramas like that 😌😌😌

If you want the link to just the list of stuff i have seen then I can happily share it, but if you want my fave dramas just tell me what your feeling for and from there i can list a couple i love. OR you know what... if you just want 1 random drama/movie cause you wanna play my made up Jraulette (jdrama+ roulette), I can give you that too LOL. I gotta warn you tho... my taste is not highbrow. 2/3 dramas I watch are cheesy and pretty boiis/sunshine women and messiness... only 1/3 are level of quality. I don’t wanna hear no regrets afterwards 😂😂😂😂

And BTW im curious... Which 2 jdramas have you seen??? 👀👀👀👀👀

[incorrect-dishonored-quotes]

Do you have a favorite level within each game or even one out of all games / is there a specific level that stuck in your mind since you first played it?

Mine would be the second to last I think in DH1. The one, where you walk over a bridge and it's all orange light on one side and deep shadows on the other. In daud's dlcs it would be the boyle mansion, because I love the flooded building. I've loved the edge of the world in DH2 because Karnaca's atmosphere is such a breath of fresh air and the trail of whale blood through the bright and sunny district reveals very much about the game's world. For DOTO it would either be the bank job or the royal conservatory. It may sound pretty weird but the atmosphere within the bank job gives me vacation vibes lol. Also the moment you take the twin bladed knife feels amazing every time. I also really like the hidden features in the royal conservatory.

Thank you for running this blog, it really means a lot to me. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Honestly all the levels in the DH series has a lot of personality in them, and so much visual storytelling. Each one has a different feeling to it while all matching up to eachother perfectly. Never do I feel like one doesn't belong with the others, they all feel part of the same world, and they feel so lived in too.

Everyone has their favorites, and you picked some good ones. I think youre refering to Kaldwin's Bridge which is a very well done level and is certainly pretty to look at, but its rather big with a lot of loading points, and it's a bit choppy and tedious for me. I do like the area around Sokolov's house though. The test subjects imprisoned in the streets and the crumbling buildings around his perfect apartment is great environmental storytelling. Personally my favorite in Dh1 is The Flooded District. The reflection it paints for Corvo, that after everything, things can still get worse and there's still a light at the end and he can't give up. That even after hating Hiram Burrows and wishing death on him, Daud hides there, in the mass grave Burrows made, protected by the rats, flood waters, rivercrusts, and weepers. It's just *chef's kiss*.

I think the one in Daud's dlc's is actually Brigmore Manor, which is one hell of a level. We learn that Daud and Delilah have a lot in common just by the way they work. They both have large followings they share their power with, hidden under everyone's nose. Dispite this, the difference in atmosphere tells the player that Daud is trespassing here. He's met someone who can match him, maybe even best him, and he has to be careful not to lose what little he has left. Brigmore is probably my fave too, but The Surge comes very close. Being in Daud's base, cutting up Overseers, and freeing his Whaler kids is very satisfying.

Edge of the World is a great intro to Karnaca. You get a feel for the atmosphere, learn about smaller power struggles (Howlers vs Overseers), and get a feel for just how bad things are there. I love taking my time in this level, finding the runes and talking to Mindy Blanchard just because it is a very pretty level that's fun to explore. I also like how it ironically leads you to Addemire, which is dark and claustrophobic. My fave in DH2 though is Crack in the Slab. Going between timelines wasn't something I'd done in a videogame before, and it made learning about Aramis Stilton and the rest of Delilah's allies extremely interesting. I love the little details you can mess with in the past to convenience you in the present too. There's a lot to go though twice over in that level, and I always find something new each playthrough. Also, in the ambience music in the present, you can hear a rhythmic banging, and I theorize you can hear the miners being overworked from Aramis' home.

And then there's DOTO... DOTO, my beloved. This game really brought Billie Lurk's character to life and I enjoy every second of it. My fave here would be Follow the Ink, for reasons similar as to why I like Edge of the World. It's nice to explore and there's so much to do story-wise, and even more to just find or interact with. I do wish the story flowed from one point on the map to the other, like how Edge of the World slowly lead you to the black market, wall of light, overseer outpost, then to Addemire Station. I find I'm going back and forth a lot in Follow the Ink, but that's nit-picking. If anything, it gives me time to stumble across things more. I will say though, The Bank Job is probably the strongest level in the game, and the writing is the best there. Billie getting a hold of the knife, pointing a finger in The Outsider's face and telling him she's coiming, no matter what it takes, only for The Outsider to look her in the eyes and tell her that Daud, the closest Billie had ever come to family, is dead?... Heartbreaking. I'm racing back to the ship. I know he's lying, and he has to be, right? But nope, he wasn't. Billie burning her ship called Dreadful Wale, an anagram for Farewell Daud, as his pyre hurts so much. I love the very ending too and how Daud is low chaos option, and to be honest, I shouldn't have been surprised by that. Ironically, mercy and forgiveness were themes in the background of Daud's dlcs.

Some honorable mentions would be:

-Bottle Street/Holger Square: Learning about Overssers, Slackjaw, Granny Rags and you get to see my man Geoff Curnow! Please switch the poison btw.

-Lady Boyle's Last Party: You fuck around with guards and rich ppl bc they think you're one of them and that's quite the critique on the upperclass huh. Don't forget to sign the guestbook as The Empress' alleged assassin!

Return to The Tower: Hiram Burrows is finally his own undoing, and his worst nightmares have come true! What a satisfying downfall. How poetic. Bitch deserved everything he got.

-Light at the End: In high chaos, Martin shoots Pendleton after calling him inbred and that's hilarious to me. Also in low chaos. Emily will scold Havelock and tell him to "sit in the corner and think about what [he's] done!" In honesty, it's a good climax.

-Eminent Domain: Timpsh's downfall in low chaos is one of the most poetic and well written eliminations in the games. Seeing him faint in front of a General of the City Watch always makes me laugh.

-Coldridge Prison: Revisiting the place as Daud and seeing how it's changed since Corvo's escape was very interesting. There's a lot of details to interact with like other prisoners, executions, and doomed escape attempts.

-Addemire Institute: The Crown Killer was an interesting antagonist, and there's a lot of notes and clues to what Addemire was like before The Duke ruined it. The entire situation is very tragic, but not all is lost!

-The Dust District: It's just really fun to explore Karnaca ok? Also Corvo's old house is there.

-Hole in the World: I love how it hints that there's a low chaos option, but you don't realize it until you talk with Daud’s spirit and all the hints come together. I like wandering around the place too since we don't get to see The Void this much anywhere else.

Sorry this was so long, but I really love how well thought out these game are, and I really rambled! Happy pride to you too!

I am a firm believer that Childe is indeed younger than Keqing and has no form of respect for her regardless.

It’s moreso a form of me establishing that the Keqing is a short adult in her mid to early twenties who has to inevitably deal with the constant neck pain she gets from having to look up at her co-workers just to make eye contact. She curses either herself for it for never growing an inch or curses everyone around her or, well, both. Regardless, she can occassionally be found in her office stomping the floor and feeling like the battle is her against the world LMAO

As a side note, I loved the little headcanons of the boys as children you included! It was a different thing that would’ve never came to mind otherwise. While I’m totally ride or die on the “four men accidentally hire themselves a babysitter and a daily slander machine (she does it out of love)” train, I do appreciate different variations to the idea.

Oh and seeing myself on the anon list makes me feel a bit warm, it feels like I’m being acknowledged as family for crashing this wonderful blog with brainworms lmaooo— on a much serious note, I really appreciate hearing me out whenever I have an idea or two to share.

Sincerely, Keqing harem brainrot anon

(I felt like using a dash was too orthodox, and these are basically my mini love letters to you for being an overwhelming amount of seretonin, so I figured why not give it a little twist)

Minor Spoilers for Character Backgrounds

I wrote some more on this here: Genshin: Royalty AU HCs

FUCKING CATCH ME CRYING IN THE CLUB AS I HOLD THIS PRECIOUS ASK IN MY HANDS. I THOUGHT YOU DIED. I WAS SO UPSET. REMEMBER THAT ANON ASK THAT I JUST REPLIED TO WHERE ANON FELT LIKE THEY WERE COMING HOME? THAT. THAT IS HOW I FEEL RN.

Yes. I know anons have lives outside of tumblr. Am I a parent penguin now? Yes. Yes I am. I’m fucking crying, it does feel like I’m seeing my family again.

---

Out of all the “adult” genshin characters, I firmly believe Childe is the youngest. He is just hovering that adult status because of his height. Can I also say how much I love that the “culturally insensitive white boy” idea came from people on twitter getting tired of Chili fanart where Childe calls Zhongli “sensei” even tho the mans Chinese? 

Speaking of short people, and because I will never shut up about this, XIAO IS 5′2. Ty for coming to my ted talk. I can literally astral project and visualize Zhongli being Keqing’s boss or co-worker that’s super respectful - but lowkey a bit slow because he keeps forgetting his wallet and Keqing is too nice to leave him without lunch - but when he’s spitting facts about the ancient art of ink blocks she’s cursing him in her mind. Why is this man so tall?? She can feel the neck muscles in her neck crying out in pain that when she finally relaxes and stares forward rather than upward, she get’s a killer cramp and ends up dying on the floor (I HATE THAT FEELING BTW). She’s out here googling ways to grow taller after puberty and chugs milk cartoons like it’s air. 

This is why I absolutely love sharing ideas with others. There is so much food to be brought to the table so I always try and encourage others to share their ideas. Plus it let’s me get my over-active brainworms out haha. 

I just love the dual personality of younger vs older genshin characters. We got to see a little bit of young Diluc in the manga (pls..I know it’s completed but crumbs. I beg of you) where he was this starry eyed and friendly knight attitude. Actual sweetheart. Your typical childhood boy next door type of vibe that was sweet and polite but was a lot smarter than he looked. He has a pet turtle (or tortoise?) and I find that so cute. I can totally see Diluc being hard working to make his father proud but also slacks hard and watches his turtle awkwardly eat a strawberry most of the time haha. He would both die for his turtle and go to war for it. Honestly, I just love the idea of child Diluc being a bit of a slacker compared to his older self, who is trying to speed run his life.  

As for Kaeya, I’m going to say this now. I fully believe in the art of shy and quiet Kaeya when he was a child. It makes sense in terms of the lore since he was basically shoved into an unknown world and all alone. Poor guy probably has a lot of insecurities and is super standoffish to happy and loud children his age. He might come off as rude but he just doesn’t know how to socially interact. As sad as this may sound, he probably mimics other children as his way of expressing emotions. Since he spent most of his time with Diluc, he probably tried to mimic Diluc’s mannerism to try and fit in but Diluc is smart and caught on. It was actually a really wholesome connection of Diluc trying to help Kaeya express himself rather than copying others. Until well, the incident that separated them. 

Complete side note since I know we’re talking about a modern au but: I know I’m stretching this super thin and this doesn’t hold up in the lore at all but I really like the idea that Kaeya is secretly the Prince of Khaenri’ah and Khaenri’ah is a code word for the Abyss. This is basically me saying I want the Abyss mages and Kaeya to actually get along but due to moving in with Diluc’s family and the world’s view on monsters. He has to talk and play with them in secret. I think it’s kinda cute haha. 

As for Childe, actual angel. Have you seen Teucer? Who is this pure innocent soul and what the FUCK happened to create this Grade A Brat? He got too many vitamin gummies and became a gorilla. I mean, both younger and older Childe would walk an old lady across the street but only older Childe would then try to 1v1 the old lady. I’m actually crippled by the idea that Childe used to be this scrawny kid that decided to bulk up due to deep insecure attitudes towards himself or protection ideas for his younger siblings. Fighting became a need to survive and he hated it at first until he met his Master and found the fun in it because it was his way of having control of a situation. Though of course, while this man has two braincells, he’s still sensible. Childe may be a clown but he’s a good big brother. 

Then there’s Zhongli. In my mind, he was basically like Kaeya. Probably came from royalty as well. He didn’t know how to express himself except his boy was actually hollow. A complete husk of a person that was just doing what he was told to absolute perfection. That was until Guizhong, who I completely headcanon as someone older than Zhongli and acts as a sister figure (fucking fight me), grew concerned for this poor child and tried her best to teach him how to have fun. That there was life outside his studies and duties. While it didn’t work out perfectly and Zhongli is still a bit slow on the uptake, he genuinely is thankful to her and her help. I can see him have a little notebook of all her advice and teachings - heck, drawings of human emotions - that he sometimes has to turn to because he’s lost. (why..do i keep making Zhongli’s part so sad). 

BUT ASIDE FROM MY BRAINWORMS. “Four men accidently hire themselves a babysister and a daily slander machine” IS SUCH A CONCEPT. I want them all to have the worst habits. Childe LICKS the yogurt peel in front of Keqing slowly because he knows it absolutely disgusts her, Zhongli eat’s his sandwiches vertically, Diluc blends coffee with 5 hours energy and doesn’t tell anyone (so everyone has the worst hangover 3 hours later because they all leech off each other), and Kaeya, for the love of god, cover your tit window. It’s too early to get arrested for public indecency.

I’m happy my anon list made you feel fuzzy 💕💕. I’m probably missing a lot of anons on that list because I have the memory of a goldfish so I just listed the ones I could remember. Since you know, you’re some of the few that came back to talk to me which I honestly really appreciate. I know you all have lives outside of this small blog so it does make me really happy seeing you all come back. I’ve mentioned it before but don’t be afraid to chat with me about anything, doesn’t even have to be genshin^^ but I absolutely love the stuff you come up with. 

I never thought of an anon list acting like a family acknowledgement (more as a literal list) but I’m fully on board with that. I went back to my older anon asks to see if I missed anyone (and I probably have since the tumblr search tag is garbage) but I hope they are all still around on this blog and wanna drop by to say hi^^ 

I’m going to go change my anon list to pengu family because holy fuck that’s cute. But with that said, 

Welcome back home keqing harem brainrot anon!

t 2017 playlist analysis

Alright folks, whether you’re newly indoctrinated in the swiftgron faith, or have been here for a while, buckle up because boy is there crack coming your way.  It should be important to note that these are of course reaches and should be taken with a grain/pound of salt.  What you’re about to read is a lyrical analysis of a playlist made by Dianna on her private spotify, titled ‘t 2017.’  Therefore, the only real ‘evidence’ we have to make connections lies in the lyrics, and the general vibe of the playlist.

The following lyrical analyses stems from the idea that Taylor and Dianna may, and I strongly say may have hooked up, possibly around late 2016, or early 2017 (right when this playlist was made).  If you haven’t already, I highly suggest reading Cam’s Swiftgron timeline that she has meticulously and laboriously outlined for all of us, so you have more background knowledge on any reaches/connections made.  Also listen to her pod for extra serotonin cause I know you bitches want it.  Anyway, I digress– I’ll be pointing out only the songs/lyrics that I think are most relevant (and to make this post shorter, I apologize in advance) but I urge y’all to take a look at each songs’ lyrics to see for yourself, because some of these songs seem loud af.  Ok happy reading!

Genesis- Grimes

My heart, I never feel I never see I never know Oh, heart And then it falls And then I fall And then I know

This verse talks about the unpredictable nature of love, you never know when those feelings could come rushing in, and there could be days when you feel like you’re never going to love again– gives me cowboy like me vibes with that particular sentiment.

Home and I know Playing the deck above It’s always different I am the one in love

Ok I don’t think this one needs any explanation other than tis the damn season.

1998- Chet Faker

We used to be friends We used to be inner circle I don’t understand What have I become to you

This verse is giving me major the 1 vibes– “rosé flowing with your chosen family” kinda thing.  Relationships (yes, even hookups) are hard, especially when you go from knowing someone like the back of your hand, to a being a mere memory.  It’s even harder when you run in the same social circles and are bound to bump into each other.  What are you to do with all those unresolved emotions/lack of closure?  I just find this a bit funny because two years later at SNL, Dianna is actually considered Taylor’s ‘inner circle’ at the afterparty.  

Drops- Jungle

When you’re so high, you When you fall from the sky, you So come down from the clouds Come down on me

I’ve been loving you too long

I’ve been loving you too long

This song sort of encapsulates the feeling of love that is intoxicating, one might even say addicting.  In that sense, I’m getting major Style vibes, in that they keep coming back to each other because of that high and intoxicated love.  More than anything, this verse reminds me of Clean, and of course Dianna’s infamous tweet, “withdrawals…clearly we had fun” (see Cam’s swiftgron masterpost/timeline for receipts).

Ritual Union- Little Dragon

Straight off the bat, this song gives off major infidelity vibes (something Taylor has been obsessed with as evidenced by Evermore, and of course Babe which btw had a lot of social media signalling/shenanginas happening in 2017/2018).  Perhaps Winston was the cuck after all and we did get a swiftgron hookup? 

Ritual union’s got me in trouble again I was wonderin’ of a white dress And the mistress And a spirit holding my hand!

You do the math with that one– ivy anyone?

Daniel- Bat For Lashes

Daniel when I first saw you I knew that you had a flame in your heart And under our blue skies Marble movie skies I found a home in your eyes We’ll never be apart

I only have two words to explain this verse– Begin Again

But in a goodbye bed With my arms around your neck Into our love the tears crept Just catch in the eye of the storm

With this verse in particular, there’s this sense of a heartbreaking parting of ways in a relationship.  It feels eerily similar to This Love– “your kiss, my cheek, I watched you leave.”  There’s also a mention of a storm, and we all love a good old storm in the swiftgron universe (Clean, DBATC, CIWYW).

Can’t Do Without You- Caribou

I swear to god these are the only two lyrics

Can’t do without

I can’t do without you

Make of that what you will.

Touch- Shura

This was the song that had me fully convinced that swiftrgon might’ve hooked up again in the recent past.  It’s so fucking loud and I did audibly gasp when I read these lyrics.  I’m so tempted to post the entire song because honestly every lyric fits their narrative almost to a t, but I’ll try putting the loudest lyrics here.

There’s a love between us still But something’s changed and I don’t know why And all I wanna do is go home with you But I know I’m out of my mind

This love is good, this love is bad.  This slope is treacherous, I like it.  If the hookup did happen, it’s clear that it’s a bit hard to just pick up immediately from where you left off.  Of course there’s still a lot of love there, it just takes time for those years to melt away.

I wanna touch you but I’m too late I wanna touch you but there’s history I can’t believe that it’s been three years Now when I see you, it’s so bittersweet

Ok this is basically swiftgron’s story right here, I mean come on?!?

I’m running down a dream like Tom Petty, I’m a heartbreaker But then you changed up a relationship, I’m mostly bankrupt There’s a new kid on your block, I gotta hang tough

Cowboy like me anyone?

Yeah, the effect of touch hands is like a miracle How is it you’re halfway across the world when I’m still feeling you? Just a touch of my love, just a little bit Ain’t no love without trust, we gotta deal with this

Gives me treacherous and wonderland vibes– “I’ll do anything you say if you say it with your hands” and “you searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had.”

iT- Christine and the Queens

I feel like this song gives off major Reputation vibes– controlling your narrative/ ridiculing what other people thought you were, etc. 

With it I become the death Dickinson feared With it I’m the red admiral on his ship And I raise with infants for my coronation I’ve ruled over my all my dead impersonations

‘Cause I’ve got it I’m a man now

Sunday Love- Bat For Lashes

This is a literal weekend hookup anthem (major tis the damn season vibes) and is also one of the other songs that convinced me of the swiftgron hookup.  Again, please look at all the lyrics and deduce for yourself and freak out like I did, but I’m putting the loudest lyrics down.

See her in blue eyes Numb and shining In the face of strangers In the city lights Where he’s climbing Cupid’s diving And I know that she’s come To spend the night

She is in my bedroom Now I can’t fight 

Blue eyed lady coming to your house to fuck you. Ok Dianna, real subtle with that. I’m joking but I snorted when I saw this lyric.

I see her in every place I go Sunday love is so cold Even though I’m falling apart I want Sunday love in my heart

You could call me babe for the weekend cause it’s the damn season.  Also “I see you everywhere the only thing we share is this small town.”

Sweet Talk- Jessie Ware

There’s never any doubts when i need you It’s just that you can always make me feel like I am slipping in way too deep And let the shadows hope to hide or break the dreaming, dreaming of us

The vibe of this song is that there’s someone who always pulls you in because they know exactly what to say.  They found wonderland and got lost in it. 

Dear To Me- Electric Guest

When it’s bad Feels like I don’t know which way I should go But over time I come back and remember The one thing that I know

You’re dear to me and I know 

I know I’ve tied so many songs to ttds, but I guess it’s all the more reason to claim that one for swiftgron nation?  This verse reminds me of  “the road not taken looks real good now, and it always leads to you and my hometown.”

Got It Bad- Leisure

This song was added much later to the playlist on Taylor’s birthday in 2019. All other songs were added early feb of 2017.  With this song, I don’t get much except cowboy like me vibes.

Got our different ways with the same old payout Had our own dreams with the same old outcome Had a bad extreme and the same old break down Worked it to the bone with the same old habit

Et voila, that’s the end! I know this was super long so thanks for sticking through.  Again please note that these reaches were made because we are a little biased through a swiftgron lens.  It’s very possible that Dianna simply likes these songs and put it on a playlist, but let’s be real, gays practically communicate through spotify.  This is not fact and not proof for anyone to hound Dianna or invade in her or Taylor’s personal life, this is just for swiftgron fun.  That said, I’m personally inclined to believe that something did happen between Taylor and Dianna in 2017 possibly.  That’s all I have to say, thanks!
