fic writer twenty questions!!!

tagged by the lovely @timelesslords <33 (that's kind of alliteration if you think hard enough hehe) aka an incredible writer who i admire greatly (for which reason i'm linking her version of the post here) <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

28

2. What's your AO3 word count?

103,418

3. What fandoms do you write for?

very primarily percy jackson (i.e. pjo/hoo/toa) and the shadowhunter chronicles

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. Percy to the Rescue (69)

2. A Different Kind of Adventure (54)

3. Napkins and Notebooks (54)

4. Mistletoe (52)

5. The Holiday Market (51)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i do! it may take some time (if i get in my head about something lol) but i will always get to them if they elicit a response. i appreciate comments and the people who make them so incredibly much

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

probably Acceptance. it's <900 words but it's the only fic i have flagged with "main character death" so..

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

this is so hard.. prospecitvely i want to say it will be The Shape of the Tide just because of how much of a journey it will take to get us there. but as of right now it might be You, Me, and Nick just because of how damn cozy it is.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

i get a lot of "why would you do this" but so far *knocks on wood* no real hate.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

yes. and i have no idea how to answer the second question.. um ig pretty straightforward explicit hetero smut? (so far.. if anything else i could def see myself writing sapphic smut in the future)

10. Do you write cross overs? What's the craziest one you've written?

i have written one (1) crossover. it was a percy jackson/harry potter next gen where the percabeth fam move to the uk and their son gets a letter from hogwarts. i was like 14/15 and gave up two chapters in because i couldn't figure out the conversion rates of american dollars to pounds to wizard money o7 (ftr i would totally write more. it can be so fun to play with characters like that and see how they interact etc.)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i am far to unknown for that lol

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no sirr

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

no, but i would love to

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

es a tie between percabeth (pjo) and sizzy (tsc). (some might determine from observing my blog (or sideblog) that it's actually just sizzy. but (a) i love them in different ways, (b) i don't recieve asks about percabeth, and (c) the scarcity of sizzy fan-content makes my heart act out the economic principle of supply and demand lol)

15. What's a WIP you'd like to finish but doubt you ever wilI?

ivy.. i would love to see this story completed but unfortunately i no longer ship ghostwriter and even with reshaping the plot to change the endgame, i just don't feel like writing that much about jesse anymore.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i feel like i'm pretty okay at tackling complex emotions? i've also gotten comments on my imagery, voice, and characterizations.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

endings; it's the biggest critique i remember receiving in my college writing classes. i also feel like i have a tendency to get lost in the weeds sometimes, which results in too much narration. also just general confidence.. i get spooked really easily.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

it's fun if it's spanish! but so far that's the only other language i've written dialogue in.. (thank you, leo)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

i actually think it may have been ella enchanted ? it was back on figment.com when i was 13-14 and was for some sort of challenge and i thought like ooh i can connect this with ella! (i was prob in my reading and rereading the book era) but it was super short and barely connected lol

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

gonna take a page out of lexi's book and split this between fandoms hehe

for tsc: Trying. i have found myself sitting at the top of my stairs ready to leave just rereading the first like 5k of this fic way too often. (it's also horribly the longest piece of writing i think i've ever finished. so it holds a special piece of proof to myself in it.. even if its only like 8k)

for pjo: Here Without You. there's an entire fraction of my soul tied up in this fic i swear. i'm never not thinking about it. it's been incredibly cathartic for me to write, both for myself and the characters (incl. calypso who i was not expecting to learn to appreciate/understand as much as i have)

leaving the tag open bc i can't think to save my life rn but! if you write fic and wish to do this, consider this your designated tag <3

[infernothechaosgod]

you know it truly amazes me how you can't do practicly anything on tiktok or search the thing you like without getting absolutley shat on

Like I'm feeling a little in the mood for rottmnt angst A lil bit of that kick in the gut, and I can't go 3 minutes without one of those made in 5 minutes max videos that's just background video and text over it Saying shit like "Yall need to stop with the rottmnt angst it's getting annoying" or "the rottmnt angst artist need to chill out" or even better "The rottmnt fandom needs to stop the angst it's just a show for kids"

First off, if angst isn't your thing, you can block it or just scroll pass it OR you know what if youre feeling like a little shit you can hate read it or whatever but keep the comments TO YOURSELF

Second off I checked what the content of most of these people is And it's always goddamn always those 10 second background videos with text over it

nothing more

I dare these people to even try to draw the shape of leo's head, or write out something more than 40 words I accualy dare them. do it.

Also the same goes for shipping over there

Let's say you see a legal completly normal ship you don't like Example let's say leo x usagi or raph x mona

What you wanna do is scroll or block it

NOT make up info to make others stop shipping it, I'm sick and tired of people non stop saying that usagi or mona are adults or that their entire characters are being love intrest in the fandom's eyes Because if you look at any of the fanfic's or fan content of those Yeah it's easy to find content where there love intrest's but it is hard to find content where there ONLY love intrest

People love mona so much for the fact that she's a badass warrior who loves her planet and people they often give her more backstory focused stories that explore how she would feel depending on where the writers story will go or already went, I have never seen anyone maker her just a typical love intrest (witch honestly suprised me)

Usagi? People have more free will with his interpretation's so he has many many diffrent faces backstories, personalities but often people make him focused on something in their stories, examples being, getting back home, protecting others, getting over something, fighting in battle nexus and exploring how it would be Etc. Etc. That mixed with being a love intrest

The only times when these two can be seen as just love intrest and nothing more is in

Edit's/tiktok content where everything is short af (and even then sometimes people give em backstories and their own lore it really amazes me sometimes lmao)

short (usualy) tagged as fluff without plot fics on ao3 (witch you can litellary tag out SO easily)

Little comics/some art pices That HAVE VERY STORT LIMITS

also this might suprise you it really might but DRAWING IS HARD AND TAKES ALOT OF TIME SAME GOES FOR MAKING THE IDEA UP

And when it comes to their ages we all know there not adults, littelary where did anyone mention mona being an aduly ever, and the only times when usagi and leo accualy interact is when there in similiar if not the same ages

(in 2003 usagi and leo are close friends and Both teens, in the early comics there both adults when they first meet, even in 1987 version there both shown to be close if not the same age, the ONLY TIME where leo and usagi have very diffrent ages is in 2012 and honestly i have a little theory on why specificly that version had them be you know that but that's for another post)

Seriously what the fuck is tiktok's problem with any form of fanon content? You want the fandom to die? It aint gonna happen, you either get used to some bad stuff existing there and there and ignoring it (reporting then ignoring it if it's really bad) OR you keep quiet OR you will get banned by alot of creators after crying in their comments, then cry when you can't find something they made anymore

Tiktok man, good for daydreaming to the sounds, looking at edits and for some art trends but litellary can't let anything else exist on there or else you'll explode

(Also I bet if some of the fanon angst made it to the accual show they would deepthroat that shit right up and call it writing of ceuntry)

1, 3 and 34 for the writer ask game!

Hello my friend! 💜

Do you prefer writing one-shots or mulit-chaptered fics?

Well... I think right now I prefer writing multi-chaptered fics, but I have a few one-shots in the works.

I like a long story, and I like the way the physical break between chapters changes how I read and write stories. As much as I hate a cliffhanger, I love the way a page break adds to the tension of a story.

I also like multi-chaptered fics as a writer because it lets readers interact with me and influence the story. The Gaz and Soap interludes in Slasher Handler came from asks, and they helped me flesh out their characters in my head and decide where the story is going. @mi-i-zori had a huge hand in helping me decide how I want Simon and Bambi to interact in Transferrable Skills.

3. Describe the creative process of writing a chapter/fic

Whoo. This will be long!

First, I do an "Okay So...!" summary. Basically, I ramble in the discord or write in a physical notebook anywhere between a sentence and (checks notes) 1500+ words. It's a bit unorganized. Some of it is quotes, a lot of it is "script" format dialogue, most of it is rushed transitions. There's a lot of placeholder text that represents its own couple of paragraphs.

(For example: I'm working on making the idea from this post into a one shot. That bit of ramble is 222 words. That part of the story that I'm actually writing became 1931 words. It's gonna be a long-ass project.)

From there, I workshop with friends and my partner. If I'm rambling directly in discord, I'm rolling with some of what my friends are telling me. My partner asks me the really annoying necessary questions, like "why this scene?" and "does that help get you to the smut?" and "are you letting your blorbo be a blorbo or are you trying to force a story you don't want to tell?"

Then I write a first draft. Sometimes the first draft is the only draft, but that's not the case very often anymore. I try to let myself be wordy and imperfect. Get the more detailed idea out in chunks of a few paragraphs, then reread and put in more details.

If there are multiple people in a scene, then I start with dialogue and inner thoughts, then physical actions. In this chapter of Autumn Embers, I wrote the dialogue between Gaz an Wildfire without any direction, then added in the handshakes, Wildfire arching an eyebrow, stepping to the side of the walkway, etc.

Then I let my partner read it! And he points out all of my typos.

Then I shuffle paragraphs around, and fill in spots that become a bit awkward, and then I show my partner again. And then I share it in the discord. Then I unashamedly BASK in the endorphins I get from my friends interacting with the story.

Then I rinse and repeat! Eventually, I identify where the chapter breaks are going to be, if I haven't already.

I do most of my writing in Scrivener, which allows you to write documents within documents and move them around. Sometimes I have chapters already separated. Sometimes I keep a long "working document" and then break it into chapters.

Tagging the people who I riff with often: @sentientcave, @gemmahale, @mortuarywriting, @mi-i-zori, @cordeliawhohung, @cosmicpro, and I'm missing so many other people who's blogs I can't recall off the top of my head or don't know if they'd be okay being tagged.

34. Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?

Five years from now I'll still be writing fanfiction, though I'll probably have moved to other fandoms by then. I think I'll probably still write CoD, since I still love all of my past blorbos.

I think that by 2029, I will also be finishing up editing an original novel that I want to publish, if I'm not already publishing the second one. I've already written most of 3 novels, and plan to do another one next month.

I do not see myself writing full time, or relying on it as a source of income. I wouldn't be opposed, but I want my writing to be for me, first and foremost. When it's a job, it becomes about what other people want, and I don't think I'd be ready for that by then. Still, it would be fun to get the original stuff out there.

Ask Game

[meowmeowriley]

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! Tag as many people as you have WIPS!

If you saw the original, no you didn't. Lol sorry, had to do some housekeeping here on my blog, and had to redo this post.

Right well, here's the thing, I have way more WIPs than I do moots 😅 butttttt I'll drop what I've got. Please please please ask me about any of them! I'm begging for interaction!

1) Little Meow Meow - my first fic, it's not abandoned, catboy!Ghost is also unkillable and emo.

2) Poké-Pandemonium - Pokémon and secrets. Here soon I aim to make people cry with it ❤ (soon as in within the next couple of chapters, whenever I put them out)

3) More Than Just Loose Ends - 09 Ghost has been watching over and mentoring 22 Ghost his whole life

4) Oh, Brother - my most popular fic, told through the eyes of Erin MacTavish (John's sister) and Tommy Riley. Baby's first realistic and in character AU.

5) I Don't Think We're in Space Anymore - Ghost is a shape-shifting alien and also chaotic as fuck. And horny. Whoops.

6) Was tHat thE BiTe oF 22 - FNAF but all the characters are replaced with COD characters. It's my little abomination.

7) Be Kind, Rewind - Ghost is suddenly 10 years younger. Young dumb and full of cum. Seriously, being 19 means he's got that teenager horndog thing goin on.

On to the ones that haven't been posted yet

8) Duo Fatui - Unus Annus, but make it Soap and Ghost

9) Is That Gonna be a Problem? - Ghost and Soap met before the events of MW2, and were secretly together during the game. This is the story of their relationship.

10) Cohabitation - ghost!Ghost and Zombie!Ghost share one body. They're the same person, so it's not difficult. They banter like siblings.

11) Lost a Bet - Ghost lost a bet with Gaz, so Gaz gets to design his next mask. Gaz designs a cat skull mask, and Ghost bonds with a bunch of stray cats on base.

12) Outlaw Outta Time - some of the COD boys get sent back in time and meet up with a certain outlaw. COD RDR2 crossover. It's a fix it for Arthur ❤

13) unnamed fic about trans Ghost dropping hints that he's trans and Soap who thought he was straight being really confused by the boners he gets around Ghost.

14) unnamed fic about Soap thinking Ghost has a girlfriend, that they're on their way to rescue, when it is in fact a dog. Ghost is fully aware of the miscommunication and thinks it's funny, so he doesn't clarify

15) unnamed fic about Ghost and Soap getting sucked into our world a la Supernatural's The French Mistake. They have to pretend to be Samuel and Neil until they figure out how to get home

WHOO BOY! I think that's all of them. And they're all Ghost/Soap except the FNAF one, because they're children.

Mooties who aren't already on this list, no pressure though! @myriadblvck @27potatochips @resident-idiot-simp @tacticaltaxonomist @ratpiss0

[transryanguzman]

i'm sorry. this post is very discourse-heavy i guess. i'll tag it as discourse and not as any pairings or fandoms because i don't want it to end up in the main tags. you don't need to read. i just want to get this out.

the problem is i actually DO enjoy tommy for what he is in the show - just like i enjoy Taylor or Shannon (actually no, sorry, shannon is my beloved and actually is on another level and taylor is kind of pushing that line) or Ana or anyone they've dated, or really ANY character. I think this show has a lot of characters that on the base level are really great at existing within the canon of the show and, even though some of them need to be mentally fleshed out a little, that's fine. they aren't mains and that's pretty typical.

and, like, i initially DID shy away from the buddie part of fandom because i felt a lot of pressure NOT to like him or to not follow people who hated him by those very same people or to shut my mouth and not have an opinion bc i am not a woman (and these words were spoken and made me feel very very gross about myself and my place in fandom and actually trigger a lot of feelings for me re: being trans and feeling guilty for not being a cis woman but that's another post). and so i found a space that felt a little bit better for that and just kind of had fun there for a while. i made friends there, like people i really really thought could be friends and not just Fandom Friends.

but it did become increasingly hard to interact, especially after the bt break up, because so many of the posts were just...negative. the negativity was a bummer, and it made everything feel terrible. it made it feel like actually enjoying the show that i spend the majority of my time in an online fandom for is wrong. and then 8b started and i found that excitement again because i just stopped caring about looking stupid and expecting buddie to happen (or even just wanting it to so badly that i'll scream about it happening until the very end). i realized that part of fandom just wasn't fun for me anymore because that pairing wasn't the one that truly spoke to and inspired me and made me want to spend my time in fandom.

after the last episode the actual aggressive hatefulness i've felt has been tenfold, too. like it was pretty bad after 9 and 10, but 11 has been on another level, and i realized that as long as i'm following those blogs and reading what they have to say, i am just gonna feel shitty about myself. (and tbh i'm having a hard time not doing that anyway because being called delusional and being told the show runner and actors hate buddie fans is actually really hurtful! who would have thought!!!!!!) i'm going to feel, to a certain extent, like i have to act a certain way and like the show a certain way, so i'm really sad i've lost friends. i'm sad that people unfollowed me that i really really liked on a personal level, but at the end of the day they didn't like me or what i bring to the table and i'm too old to be sad about it, i guess. you have to curate your own space. we all do. so i hope they actually do find they enjoy their time more without me clogging up their feeds with my buddie nonsense or whatever.

and really, this is just my personal feelings. no one should feel A Way about that fandom because of how i'm perceiving my own experience because i'm also very mentally ill and sometimes my perception and reality don't necessarily mesh and i assume intent where there is none. i don't hate everyone i met there or resent them. but some of them did make me feel bad about myself and that doesn't feel mean to say. i hope the ones still around don't feel targeted by this because i do still like the friends i made through that part of fandom.

anyway, the point is, i struggle with the part of fandom that feels very 'choose your side or else', and i think that's what this whole mess with everything in the last 3 episodes has been. its started to feel very pick a side or else and at the end of the day i choose the side where i find the most joy, and i find the most joy in buddie. they are my true loves of the 911 universe and i would die for them, so that is where i will be spending the majority of my time.

and it all probably made me a bit overly aggressive in the way i've spoken about it, probably made me come across as angry or mean, and that was never my intent. i just want to curate my space like anyone, and right now that space is going to be filled with buddie (and my beautiful wonderful friends who love a multitude of pairings who i would die for and don't want to lose.)

Fic Writer Tag Game

I'm a bit late doing this, but thank you @olenskas for tagging me in this lil game!

Anyone who wants to participate, go on ahead!

How many works do you have on AO3?

Five... for now...

What's your total AO3 word count?

136,475. I'll hopefully hit over 140k after I drop this next chapter of Half-Life.

Your top 5 stories by kudos?

Well, considering I only have five fics, I'll just put them in descending order:

Half-Life - Resident Evil 4, 36.9k, Plaga!Leon Kennedy/F!Reader, Unfinished Chapter Fic

The Betrayer - Dead by Daylight & Resident Evil, 72.6k, Chris Redfield/F!Reader/Albert Wesker, Unfinished Chapter Fic

Madness is the Color Green - Marvel Cinematic Universe, 13.3k, Thor Odinson/F!Reader/Dark!Loki Laufeyson, Unfinished Chapter Fic

More - Dead by Daylight & Resident Evil, 4.1k, Leon Kennedy/F!Reader, Finished One-Shot

Tend The Light - Dead by Daylight & Alan Wake, 9.4k, Alan Wake/F!Reader, Finished One-Shot

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Oh, baby, do I. I love the interaction! I love seeing people's opinions on my work! I get so excited when someone says something nice to me, especially if they put a lot of thought into their comment or asked questions. I eat that shit UP.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Lmao, all my current fics have smut or will have smut in them. I'm a freak like that. As for the type... I mean, I explore all sorts. Some of them are soft and romantic, some of them are dark and rough. I just love putting some kind of emotion into them. Though I suppose I haven't posted the darker smut scenes just yet, but they're coming (ba dum tsh).

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, thank god. But with the rise of AI fics, there's always a possibility lol. A reminder to please not steal my fics or use them for AI fodder, thanks.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope. Would be cool though!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, way back in high school, me and two of my friends wrote a BBC Sherlock fic together with self-insert OCs. It got mildly popular on Wattpad lmfao, but it was never finished and that account was deleted so it doesn't exist online anymore. I still have the files for it in my docs though, for the nostalgia. I doubt I'll ever revisit it, but it was my first real foray into fanfic writing and without it, I wouldn't be the writer I am now. <3

What's your all time favorite ship?

I'm gonna be so real with you, I almost exclusively read reader insert fics. I enjoy some ships in passing, but it's not something I really care about or obsess over. That being said, there's something compelling about Roman Roy and Gerri Kellman in Succession. But I guess my real answer is currently my reader insert with Logan Howlett. I need him bad.

What's a WIP that you want to finish but probably never will?

Oh boy, there's many, sadly. I try to tell myself I'll come back to those stories eventually though. And hell, I might. Never say never. In particular, I have a Moon Knight/F!Reader fic idea in my docs that I'm not sure how to actually write. Maybe someday.

What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm really good at capturing a character's essence, mostly because I study them like a critter under a microscope until I understand them in my own terms. I also think I write pretty decent prose, and I feel like I inject emotion into my stories well.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Ugh. Obsessing over minute details that really don't matter. It hinders my progress, but in my mind, it has to be perfect. Despite that mindset, you wouldn't believe how often I go back and edit my work retroactively lmao. Oh, and over-explaining or over-describing things. I have that quirk where if I believe if I go into enough detail, I'll make more sense, but later realize I made it more confusing lmao. My biggest writing flaw though? Taking approximately 800 years to write literally anything. God, do I wish I was more prolific. Alas.

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet, but want to?

God, so many. The amount of little fic concepts I have in my docs is crazy. Currently, I'd love to dive into a COD fic. Specifically a Poly!141/F!Reader one. I had this pirates AU idea, but there's no real plot there lmao.

What's your favorite fic that you've written?

This is difficult because I put my heart and soul into my fics, but right now, I have to say Tend The Light. I honestly think it's my best writing yet. The irony that it's my most niche work is not lost on me lol.

Thanks for reading!

Here's my Tumblr fic masterlist:

Sapphires And Silver Linings Catalogue

[rinwellisathing]

I was tagged by @picathartidae anyone who wants to can do this, if you've wanted to but haven't been tagged, consider this your tag: 1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

I have six so far, one day I will post more.

2. What is your Ao3 word count?

Apparently 312,706

3.What are your top five fics by kudos?

You're Awful, I Love You which, fair, I love that one too. Sentry really made a splash with his debut. Then Paint The Lines, Cut The Flesh, which makes sense as it's the sequel. After that one, Hellbound Hearts, which is brand new so that's nice it's got so many so quick, though I do wish I was better liked lol..and since I only have six fics, I'll just do top three for now.

4. What Fandoms Do You Write For? Kind of a loaded question, I've only been posting for BG3 lately, however I used to write a lot of World of Warcraft fics as well as Thir13en Ghosts before that.

5.Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Of course I do, they're really important to me and mean a lot. I appreciate every single one and I need my readers to know that they are appreciated.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Again, a loaded question because technically I've only finished two fics so far that I've posted lately, but so far it's You're Awful, I Love You, because it ends on Orin's attack on Sentry. That being said, if I ever finish A Crimson Lover, then by its very nature as a Fatal Frame inspired story, it's gonna be that one.

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I wouldn't call any of them really happy in particular lol. When I was writing my Warcraft highschool AU, however, I never posted this, but there was a really cute epilogue with Jaina and Aggra because that is my beloved crackship.

8. Do you get hate on fics? On my Warcraft fics I did, which is why I don't really post them anymore. I had an OC who was really popular when I was a kid but then after Mists of Pandaria, people really started bullying me about her.

9.Do you write smut? Yes :)

10. Do you write crossovers? Kind of. More like AUs using universes I like, thus BG3 Bioshock, BG3 Fatal Frame, etc.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I can't prove it and I'm probably paranoid, but I legit feel like Blizzard's writing team stole the entire Calia Menethil/Derek Proudmoore ship from an old fic I have that's no longer accessible but like...their entire interaction in Battle For Azeroth was so close to a big interaction I had for them in this Sylvaina fic I wrote ages ago, like literally back during Wrath of The Lich King or Burning Crusade.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I don't know honestly.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

When I was little I cowrote a Saiyuki fic with my at the time girlfriend and then in my late teens another girlfriend and I cowrote a Repo! one, and then all of my partners currently have contributed at least something to the Warcraft highschool AU and my fiancee and one of our boyfriends sometimes edit my Gortash writing because they super relate to him.

14. What is your all time favorite ship: Loaded question, so I'll give you my top two of all time: Durgetash- BG3, specifically male durge (trans or cis doesn't matter), I don't enjoy it as much if Durge is female.

Sylvaina- World of Warcraft, any kind. Genderbend, trans headcanons, canon femslash

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? A Crimson Lover I'm just way too picky about Fatal Frame inspired writing, especially my own, but it's such a niche concept that I am in love with, but even then that means it's also not likely to earn many comments or kudos and I really do thrive on acknowledgement.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Probably character interactions, I'd say.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Consistency and stringing things together.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in your fic? Sentry's adoptive mother's family is originally from Maztical so I do include some small spanish words and phrases etc. as well as including a few from other languages and cultures for Ilya (from Rasheman), and Jaina Thalassia (whose culture is inspired partially by some Celtic groups).

19. First fandom you wrote for? Legend of Zelda, but I was really really little.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

I think honestly any of my Sentry fics in all honesty.

[project-sekai-facts]

2nd year event?! I saw the announcement and am now very curious and excited, especially since this is happening before Mafuyu’s coming up. Have the 2nd years ever had an event about them? What are your thoughts about this group? I know you have some because I saw your tags 👀

Below cut

It's SO gonna be a WxS key story like no way out of it. Given that they're both lims that probably means that it's gonna have a lot of screentime for the boys (well, Rui is a given, it's his event), so there's no way they won't bring up the current WxS plot. Honestly making this a Rui event was an amazing idea because it connects so much with his arc with his fear of growing up and having to leave what he has now behind. And by the looks of the card he made new friends!! Which actually makes it all the more gut punching because he's never really had friends and he only gets a whopping one whole in-universe year with them now.

It's also really cool to see that the Miyajo girls are there. I reckon Shizuku (and Airi, but to a much lesser extent) will get like a mini version of STEP by STEP! with Mafuyu. Because think about it, if Shizuku and Airi leave formal education, that makes Mafuyu the only MC Miyajou 3rd year. I think it'll be really neat to see all the second years interact more because they've never been given much of a chance before outside of a few short scenes, and I think Rui and Mafuyu's dynamic in particular is really interesting. I don't know how much they'll interact in this event, if at all, but I'd like to see more there. Rui is very emotionally intelligent - so long as it doesn't apply to himself - and he's also very very observant, so although having him notice where Mafuyu's issues was unexpected, it wasn't necessarily surprising, and I'd like that to be followed up on even if it is arguably more effective as a passing encounter moment.

I'm guessing there'll be a sweet making and tea ceremony part, because those are the event teams and also Airi's favourite food/club so I think that would be a nice laid-back bonding moment from the 2nd years and who knows, if that does happen then maybe they'll ruin the 3 seconds of peace we get from by reminding us that Airi is moving to credit course and won't be doing clubs anymore.

I'm assuming they'll throw in the excuse for the two schools interacting is that they both happened to be on the same school trip at the exact same time.

Also, the event description. I have thoughts.

from @/pjsekai_eng on twitter

I'm guessing the reason Rui has little interest is because 1. aforementioned fear of getting growing up and moving on and doesn't want to face it, and 2. doesn't have many friends at school, let alone any in his class (it's outlined in KAMIKOU FESTIVAL! that he has never particularly been one for school events because everyone would push him away. We've had Cheerfes since then but you get my point). But it looks like maybe his classmates are actually more willing to be friends with him now?

And then the event name

same source as above

Hey look that sounds like a Wonderlands x Showtime inevitable disbandment reference. Atp I'm starting to think the reason I'm so invested in their current arc is because of how much it resembles a Love Live plot (mod makes shameless LL reference #3 billion what else is new?). Enjoying your youth while you can because there's so much fun stuff you can do and you're surrounded by people and it truly is an experience that you won't be able to quite match later on. It's simple but incredibly effective and emotionally driven. Especially since the age high school is in Japan really is like that bridging period between childhood and adulthood. And linking this to Rui and Tsukasa's event cards specifically...

They seem to have tied the folklore theme with a school uniform theme. And I'm going to pick this apart because I'm already 643 words in so why stop now? I feel bad for excluding Shizuku from this but we've never had too much on her school-related past. The most we got was Draw Your Bow In This White World which was only set 1 year pre-canon so not counting it.

Anyway. I've seen several people point out on Twitter that Rui's limited hair is the same hairstyle that he had as a child. That stuck out to me because we know from flashbacks that that was when people started to steer clear of him at school and he lost a lot of friends, and I wonder if that's going to be brought up in the event, especially since it seems that he's going to be making new friends.

In a similar vein, Tsukasa. I'm sure most people noticed that he's basically wearing his middle school uniform except with glasses. Like Rui's lim linking to when he was most lonely, Tsukasa's does as well. It's established in On the stage of dazzling light that he was pretty lonely during middle school because it was when Saki got moved to a hospital out of the prefecture.

I don't know if this was intentional because Shizuku's doesn't visibly follow that theme, but prsk does like some good symbolism and lim sets quite often have one that sticks out from the others for whatever reason. If it wasn't intentional then good on them for somehow doing this. But it does make a lot of sense, y'know? Cherishing the high school memories because the ones before now were a bit shit?

1 2 (heh)

Being frank I don't entirely know how Japanese school trips work but judging by the card it looks like Rui and Tsukasa got put in a group together? I hope their friendship gets some depth and development added to it with this event because they actually have an interesting dynamic underneath the Oddball 1-2 comic relief that has a lot of underutilised potential. Like what I said in those screenshots - Rui wants to know more about the SEKAI, but since it's entirely derived from Tsukasa's psyche, it means he has to get to know Tsukasa better, and they still aren't on much of a more personal level of friendship almost 3 years after that card story. The fact that both of their lims seem to reference the points when they were most lonely... I think that could be a good starting point for them to bond over. Obviously the circumstances were completely different and Rui was driven into depression by it, but what I'm saying is that it's a start.

Also like the very intentional parallels between Rui and Mizuki and their loneliness and their connection with the rooftop Wonderlands x Showtime main story chapter 5 My Footprints, Your Destination chapter 8 Tsukasa and Ena and the personal impact they had on those two respectively something or other and the fact that one side of that parallel has surprisingly little depth to their relationship idk

Oh and this part from the very end of A Canary Sings In A Quagmire. Though they might stall on it for a bit longer since it's a plot thread that was only just introduced. I reckon if it does get brought up it will just be in internal monologue or Rui just mentioning the concept in passing or being vague about it rather than actually addressing it (Emu and Nene aren't here and I think they will probably be around when it gets fully unpacked). If they do decide to face it directly then I wouldn't mind but it seems too soon to me.

Finally, I reckon we might get some more Shizuku and Tsukasa interactions. It's kind of guaranteed to be fair but you never know. Their dynamic isn't hugely deep or anything but it doesn't need to be, like they only know each other because their sisters were friends. Anyway I don't really mind if all they do in the event is talk about their sisters and what they've been up to themselves - it's pretty cute.

I'll be reading the event in my lunch break tomorrow so long as it is on sekai.best by then, so if anyone wants to ask me more about it then feel free. Watch literally none of what I just wrote happen in the event.

If I said that almost all of the 2nd years are in my top 10 would that justify the word vomit?

new p1ssslut here x any tips? I don't know anyone irl who shares this so I feel pretty alone

hi lovely <3 this has been sitting in my asks for well over two months so you're probably not as new anymore (very sorry 😭) but i'd still be happy to share some stuff! ofc the first thing i'm gonna tell you is to stay safe; holding your pee for over ten hours can put you at risk of a UTI and other health problems (though i think the time amount varies from person to person), don't drink too much water (CDC reccomends no more than six cups in one sitting), make sure to clean yourself after holds if you wet your clothes/bare skin, all that jazz. but assuming you already know the basics, i guess the biggest tip i can give you is to be kind to yourself. which i know sounds like so basic and corny buuuut this kink can be super isolating especially offline and a lot of shame can surround it. personally i've been lucky enough to not feel weird or "gross" about liking piss but i do experience a lot of shame about just like... being sexual in general, yk? so i want you and everyone else who's either new to the kink or struggles with that kind of thing to remember that if you aren't harming anyone else then there isn't anything wrong with what you're doing. the best way for me to look at it is, even if it is "weird" or "gross", it's literally no one's business but mine (and the people i post it to lmfao) so that's important to keep in mind. you're not bad or wrong for having this kink, no one is entitled to know if you don't feel comfortable with it, and, if there's some circumstance where someone does take issue with it, that's their own problem because they're the ones inserting themselves into your personal business. that's the real weirdo behavior.

anywayyy most of my advice is just based around what i do personally so take the rest with a grain of salt because everyone has different yucks and yums when it comes to omo. if you like holding but get grossed out by actual piss itself (like me, unfortunately) and/or don't like the cleanup, i'd reccomend holding in the shower. that way you can just clean up in there, plus the warm water makes it sooo much more of a challenge. when it comes to navigating kind tumblr i've found that blocking tags + accounts that are related to your limits is your best friend; don't ever feel guilty or bad about not interacting with content you don't want to see. or people in general. no one on or off this app is owed your time or energy if you don't want to give it simply because you happen to share a kink. also if you're afab (idk if it's the same for amab), having an orgasm with a full bladder is TOP TIERRRR, would 100% reccomend. i myself am more into the desperation/wetting side of omo so i don't rlly have anything to add for other aspects of the kink. everything i've read (yes i did research for you anon 🥰) says that it's unlikely for urine to do bodily harm if you like getting pissed on/into or pissing on/into someone else; i assume it's the same for oral consumption but i'd suggest you read up on that yourself to make sure. honestly just do that in general; make sure you do proper research and figure out the safety of things before you try them yourself.

that's basically all i've got and i'm sorry it was so many words for a whole lot of nothing 😭 i'm bad at advice. but i wish you the best and i hope you have found/can find some sense of community or at least feel less "othered" on here. i've had this account for almost a year now (which is wild) and even though i still get really anxious whenever i actually interact with people on here, it's helped me a lot to know that there ARE people who like the same things i do. you're not alone, and if you ever feel weird or gross or bad for liking the things that you like, take a scroll through my page. if there's one thing i want from my page (other than a place to be horny), it's to let other people know that liking (harmless) "gross" things is okay and there's at least one person out there who's just as "gross", if not worse, as they are 💕💕 big fan of making people feel less alone, especially when it comes to omo/kink stuff in general.

Hello!

I'm gonna try to keep this short because I could easily turn this into a hundred-page rant if I let myself, and I can't bring myself to do that to you. 😅

I've been a silent lurker on Bucktommyblr since season 8 started. I started watching the show live at 8x05 and immediately stopped watching it after 8x06 because the breakup made me sick to my stomach. Right now, I'm sticking to my plan of not watching anything in full until I know their direction 'cause I don't feel like getting burned again. 😅

Before 8x06, I followed the Bucktommy tag and interacted with pretty much any post. After 8x06, I became more of a silent lurker, specifically for your blog. And I wanted to thank you for your Bucktommy content regarding the break-up.

After the breakup, but before I found your blog, I was starting to think I was going crazy. Almost everywhere I looked, it was people criticizing Buck for the entire episode while never really mentioning anything Tommy could've done better (and the few things I saw criticizing Tommy were clearly meant as hate, not a genuine complaint, so I don't count those).

Frankly, I found it really hard to find a blog that agreed with me that both Buck and Tommy were to blame, and both could've handled things a lot better. Like, I remember when everyone talked about how horrible Buck was at talking to Tommy because he didn't know about Abby six months in. Everywhere I looked, everyone was saying the same things about this.

This situation officially introduced me to your blog. I saw your post on the situation where you essentially said, "Um, guys, you know Tommy also didn't know about the Abby connection six months in, right? Their lack of communication skills comes from both of them." Like, I saw this post, and I literally yelled, "FINALLY!!" Many people came to the conclusion that I was crazy that day. 😂

Like, I do get why people are more willing to criticize Buck. He's the character we've been following for 8 seasons, and it is frustrating to see him act in a way that people don't necessarily agree he'd act (I do have opinions on this as well, but this is already too long 😭). But it got to a point where it felt like people didn't like Buck anymore (and I know that the Oliver situation didn't help), but they were still super in love with Tommy while ignoring the things Tommy should be called out on, specifically regarding 8x06. Some takes started to genuinely make me question whether I should even ship them anymore because it seemed like a lot of people were using Buck to prop Tommy up on a pedestal where he did nothing wrong. I can't stand it when relationships are portrayed like that.

You were one of the few exceptions I found to this. You've called out both Buck and Tommy and respectfully argued your stance to people who disagreed with you, and I've really admired you for this, especially since (just based on post reactions) our thoughts seem to be in the minority. You're part of the reason I haven't given up on Bucktommy and still chance their tags on AO3 and Tumblr, and I really appreciate you for that.

I'm sorry this is so long and that I might've gotten a bit rambly. This is after I promised myself I wouldn't write too much and could've said more. 😭 If you want, I can continue this in other asks, but I think I've taken enough of your time.

Nonny you're basically explained all my feeling too(and id you want you can say more ofc). After the finale of the season it's really hard for me in a fandom too, and recently I'm def less active bc my own problems are not helping feeling good and make my love to the ship sour. But yes, unfortunately i saw kinda the same in buddie fandom, and it happened here. People love Tommy really much, put him on pedestal, and as with Eddie do not love to look at him with critical part. Unfortunately bc of it Buck became just a tool to write Tommy in fics. It's already not so about bucktommy as about buckTOMMY. And partly i understand why. Tommy is a new shining not deep explored character, unlike Buck. But love to character and ship moves to blind love to only one character who "can't do bad"

I maybe might seem critical to Tommy more, but if people look at the post I reblog too, they'll see i agree that Buck was wrong too(I also explore it in my fics too), but yes, unfortunately somehow a lot of people only decided that in the wrong is only Buck

I'm always try to respectful, bc ofc we're all different and have opinions, but I was, is and will talk how Tommy DID wrong with Buck too. Communication problems came from both of them, Tommy's speech that is really biphobic, the way maybe he didn't plan it but what he said basically means "I wanted fun time and it's your problem if you thought we're serious"- this again comes to problem with two street communication, but at least 6 months in Buck, maybe wrong way, but stated his expectations, and actually he stated them in 7x5 too, in the way he could when he only understood he is interested in men. Also, Tommy twice showed himself as a runner. Twice. And if we add Tommy's running from 118 before 1s, it means three times. Remember what is show's stance about 3 times being a pattern?

Rn actually both Buck and Tommy should do a WORK TO BE BETTER. And if smt Buck is doing it. He's not clinging, he is giving Tommy space. Is baking can be seen as clinging? Maybe, but basically show made a point to show that Buck is in love. Eddie is not over Shannon after 6 years, why Buck should be after a week or month?

Partly this is why i still have hope for next part of the season but I'm still not sure if I will watch life or not

tagged by @aldieb! thx for thinking of me, these little questionnaires are like. a cute little blast from tumblr's more interactive past :)

last song: i was going to have to give a sad little answer here about how i don't listen to music nearly enough anymore (never mind sing) and it's very definitely a reflection of my depression, but then i entirely out of nowhere and very urgently was like 'wait actually i have to listen to gordon lightfoot's "song for a winter's night" right now' so then i dashed off and did that and now that's the answer:

if i could know within my heart that you were lonely too i would be happy just to hold the hands i love on this winter night with you…

favorite color: oof so so many!! colors are so important. the signature one has gotta be a really highlighter-vivid chartreuse (🎾), but i do also really love me a good marigold orange? not to mention vermilion, or ochre, or moss green, or really saturated cobalt, or shades of rust or russet…

last movie/show: shetland bbc, which is a quiet well-acted murder mystery series set in a very beautiful very remote landscape. soothing if you like the british isles and can bear to entertain the fantasy of a decent policeman, at least for an hour or so at a time. also i admit to enjoying douglas henshall's face.

sweet/spicy/savory: all the best things are savory and also spicy! like. the jamaican curried chicken i grew up with. indian curries. malaysian laksa my beloved. can you tell i like curry. :D

relationship status: sidebar but this is such an amatonormative question lol. like why are we societally expected to look at 'relationship' and infer 'romantic.' also it seems like a weird outlier given that all the other qs are low-stakes little softballs abt yr tastes. however. extremely single! sometimes i'm sad about it because i miss sexual intimacy and i'm too shy to pursue that with strangers? but honestly most of the time i'm just as glad, because i don't actually know how to love people romantically without making a whole self-abnegating religion of it, so i'm not really convinced that dating was ever really all that good for me, on the whole…

last thing i googled: i use duckduckgo now, and you should too! :) having said that: 'yoal boat.' which is a very beautiful traditional style of shetland boat—apparently descended from a norwegian model?—that the islanders used to use for fishing, and then for storage draw up onto the land into these little prepared hollows called noosts (they have marinas now), which like. obviously i think is the most charming word imaginable. a cozy little noost for a lovely little boat! 🪺

current obsession(s): yoals aside, i guess the thing that best fits this category is that sometime in the last year or so i turned into Merino Guy??? like. even my boxer briefs are merino now (well, a merino-tencel blend) and like. it's so good, guys. comfy in a startlingly wide range of temps, helps me lessen my contribution to the microplastics problem, somehow even makes for reasonable athletic wear in the right weights and cuts: what's not to like. anyway brb, gotta go print out my 'NOT 🐑ISH ABOUT MERINO' bumper sticker. :D

tag 9 people: oof idk, do this if you'd enjoy it and ignore it if you wouldn't? gonna make like west and pull some names from my activity feed: @e-b-reads, @ghostofasecretary, @leatherbookmark, @nathanielthecurious, @obstinatecondolement, @papavera, @quailfang, @tisiphoness, @youcanthandelthetruth

[bonny-kookoo]

hi! i wanted to ask why do you not have a tag list anymore? is it because its annoying for something? generally asking like genuine question no bad intentions :)

its just that i wanted to give my nam and saw ur banner lol

also something older..... whennnn? (again no bad intentions just too much sadness lol XD)

again lol, I AM LOVVING evrything. It might sound unhealthy but i think i have read just about everything you have written 😅😅 but lke yea srsly dude i love youuuuuuu!! <3

also please do share if you need any support from your followers do share be it emotionally or with writing always happy to help! <3

The reason I don't have a taglist anymore might sound a little arrogant maybe? Or like I think I'm 'too good' for that stuff, and I hope everyone reads this till the end because that's not what I think at all.

But I have a (in my personal opinion) pretty huge following (15k Followers atm), and the amount of people that interact with my fics, plus the amount of different fics I have make it almost impossible to keep up with all the names I'd have to tag for every different fic. And if I tag one person, or five, then I'll have to tag everyone who wants to be tagged, and if I don't and only choose lets say ten people for each fic, then I'm being unfair again and I favor people I like over others. (all stuff that I've been told in the past.)

TL;DR:

If I tag someone, I have to tag all. If I tag all, it'll be too many names. If I close taglist after a specific count, I'm gonna come off as mean again. So I tag no one.

[snapshot-culture-is]

Hello! Welcome to Snapshot Culture Is! Below I'm gonna list a few things about this blog regarding boundaries and stances and a bit about me but for now I want to talk about the blog itself.

"Snapshot Culture Is" is a blog I was encouraged to make by my partner system since we both always see system blogs about roles or being a system in general but I can never really find one about snapshots. Which brings us to the next point!

What is a snapshot? Snapshot is a role in a system which just essentially means you are a former version of yourself of a person. Think of like if you went to go talk to a past version of yourself, that's like 13. They have the same thoughts, same interests, same personality, same general way they hold themselves that might not apply to you today. That's what we call a snapshot and the most important thing about snapshots is that many of us don't change past that point in time but not like truamaholders do. Many people consider snapshots and traumaholders the same thing but some snapshots, myself included, actually don't have anything to do with truama I'm simply stuck in the past with an attitude some of my headmates don't associate with anymore and beliefs they also don't believe in. Some snapshots are hosts and some hosts become snapshots but its kinda a minor role some people don't have and that's okay but this blog is here for the people that do and people that don't get posts they can relate to.

This includes snapshots with no truama, snapshots who are also truamaholders, snapshots who have truama but not the main truama, and snapshots who are hosts.

I was gonna see if snapshots had a flag but it seems like we don't so maybe in the future I'll make one if I get the change or if someone finds one let me know!

Under the cut I'm gonna be talking about boundaries/DNI/BYI things and a bit about myself

Edit: BTW I'm like dyslexic and autocorrect saves me more then I like to admit but just a warning I will mess up words in spelling and reading and I'm sorry if I read your asks completely wrong

Boundaries:

While I am 19 I don't want NSFW asks on this blog since I'm allowing minors to interact. Please be respectful about that.

If you wanna send in an ask that isn't about snapshot culture but just want to talk about something interesting like a fun fact about yourself go right ahead it just won't be tagged as snapshot culture, we can have fun here.

If you send in asks about general system stuff I probably won't submit it since this is a role specific culture blog but if you are questioning I'm perfectly okay with that too just remember this is a specific subrole blog.

DNI/BYI:

I do not have a dni. Straight up I don't care what you do in your free time as long as it's not on my blog. I'm not going into your house and telling you to take down your decorations because I don't like it. I don't want NSFW, discourse or hate on my blog but if your a heater in your free time I'm happy for you just don't come harassing people through my blog.

I'm EXTREMELY Anti Harassment of all kinds. I don't care you have no right to tell someone to kill themselves. Ever. Again not my house not my problem.

This blog doesn't care for syscourse or shipcourse or anything else discourse in the slightest. Anyone can interact forever. I've done my fair share in discourse and frankly I'm already done I'm a grown adult I got no time for that when I have bills to pay.

About the Owner:

So as you know my name is Rubik collectively and I'm a system myself as well as a snapshot host. As I've said I'm 19 as well as Nonbinary Transfem who's too pamsexual for her own good. My pronouns are She/It and we have a special interest in minecraft! We are specifically in love with Minecraft Story Mode and will talk about it all day if you give us a chance.

Some of our frequent frontiers are as followed

Jasmine - Ageless - Snapshot Host

Rewind - Ageless - Optimist Sponge

Roxy - 24 - Ex host Jack of All Trades

We have more frequent frontiers but these are our main trio. We do not identify with a system origin. System origins are unnecessary to us for many reasons we wish to not get into.

Thank you for reading this far I hope you have a great day and send in some asks! We love you systems of all types and hope you find our blog enjoyable at least!

[korrasamibottles]

Long tag game!! Thanks @nova-leaf @lilrobinbird for tagging me💖

How many tumblr accounts have you had before this one?

Just one! I made it in 2012 to look at Walking Dead and Supernatural gifs and eventually it just turned into a personal blog. I met two of my best friends there!! Unfortunately I'm locked out of it for now because I decided to be a responsible internet enjoyer and changed all my passwords and I uhh. I can't remember what I changed it to. And the email I used to sign up 12 years ago is long dead. So that blog might be gone forever. Life is a highway I'm gonna ride it all night long etc. etc.

How long have you been in fandom?

I had really intense Supernatural and MCU phases back in the day, and binged TLOK and ATLA in 2015 after the Korra finale (I watched Korra first and then atla, and I maintain that's the best way to do it😌) but I never really participated in the fandom, like I never talked to anyone or made anything. So I'm gonna say I've been in fandom since summer 2023 when I made this blog to post my tlok fic (couldn't post it on my old one. My face is/was all over it. You understand.) Everyone I've interacted with here is like. Shockingly nice. Idk why I expected to be beaten with hammers but umm it didn't happen so thank you all for that💖

Your favorite trope in fiction?

AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED!!!!! Also rivals coming together to fight a common enemy and then maybe coming together in a different way.....? That's good too.

Your favorite random fact?

There are vast, delicate fungal networks in the earth beneath our feet right now as we speak :) They wrap around tree roots and spread far and wide, connecting multiple trees with each other and allowing them to share water and nutrients. This is especially helpful for saplings, which often aren't able to get enough sunlight to make their own sugars. The fungal network helps ensure the survival of young trees, and in exchange it gets a share in the nutrients being passed between the trees!!!

Your favourite game or kind of game?

Saw trap.

A place you’d like to visit? (If carbon emissions, logistics and money weren’t in question)

Oh god literally anywhere. I want to get marinated in every culture and environment I think that would blow my mind in the best way. I do want to make it to Italy specifically at some point in my life because apparently I have cousins there? But then again what if they're weird and I don't actually want to meet them.....

An animal you’re irrationally afraid of?

I can't really think of any? As a kid I was terrified of big dogs, but that fear is like 99% gone now. Sometimes other people have their dogs off leash in the woods and I gotta say. I Do Not Like It when they come running up snarling barking jumping with their hair raised at me. But the vast majority of dogs are I encounter are nice, and when they aren't I just try to ignore them and keep walking lol.

What’s your favourite season?

Autumn 10000% and then winter. Then spring. Then summer. I hate being hot.

A smell that brings you nice memories?

So maybe this is weird but I really like the way horses smell? I was a farm girl growing up and always loved horses....a horse bit the top of my head once...a different horse broke my arm......still love them.

(If you’re ok talking about food. If not, delete this part) What’s your favorite food from where you were born? And what’s your favorite food from some place else?

My mom's Italian so it was all pasta all the time growing up...lasagna😭 Also chicken cacciatore but the pasta isn't the main event there. But yeah. Pasta tomato garlic basil.....I'm there babiee.

I'm also obsessed with Indian food and there's a place near me that has a vegetable korma that makes me cry.

What’s your favorite drink (if you drink alcohol, alcoholic and non-alcoholic)?

I don't drink alcohol anymore but I loooooooved rum & coke. Also hard cider.

As for regular drinks. I am 75% fruit juice by volume at all times.

Do you give your pets random table scraps?

My cat is a huge freak who turns her nose up at human food like she's literally too good for it. Sometimes I'll offer her a piece of cheese and she'll lick it, but that's it.

I don't know who has and hasn't been tagged already so if you want to do this. Do it🫵

fandom/game vent

tw: csa

Uuugghgggh. Idk why but nothing feels right lately.

On one hand, the enstars fixation died down A LOT. Great for my bank account tbh, i don't wanna spend another cent on gacha games. My brain is free🎉🎉🎉

And rather than feeling this pressure of "omg i must grind new events and get new cards" or "omg there are so many event stories i missed out on" or "i must grind every single new song on all difficulty levels for dia" i just. Don't do that anymore lol. I actually just play the songs whenever i actually feel like playing any and i read only the stories that actually interest me. Which definitely aren't a lot tbh. (still waiting on that knights climax tl) but yeah i'm basically reading 0 stuff from engstars.

So if you wanna break free from a gacha game sucking your soul, I think the reason why the enstars fixation died down so much for me is a combination of

burning myself out trying to get cards

getting bluetooth headphones (which basically make it impossible to play the game with headphones)

turning the BP game notification off

Engstars TLs getting worse than fan TLs

Obviously i still have basic but since i can't read japanese, i can't stress myself over reading new stories because i can't read anything at all. Yaaaay. I have evolved into a casual player.

Now. On the other hand. The new fixation. My beloved wizards. Mahoyaku.

I'm gonna be so honest, i kinda hate it here.

Don't get me wrong, i love the game, i love the story, i love the characters. But the fans. The fans man.

Like with enstars fandom, i started out with tumblr, and sure, i had to occasionally block some people and filter out some stuff, but that was it. That was enough for me to be able to chill and actually be comfortable in the enstars fandom space on tumblr.

Now, there are basically no mhyk fans on tumblr. Ok fine. Guess i'll go on twitter instead. So i made a twt account.

I truly cannot explain to you how much i should not have done that.

Like, ok, LOTS MORE fanart which is great. Fantastic. Lovely. However, a lot of proshippers. Many many proshippers. Like i do not have that much experience in fandom spaces in the first place but i swear the amount of proshippers is disproportionately large in mhyk fandom, on twt at least.

Ok another warning for talk about csa if you somehow didn't catch the one above

I think it's obvious from my blog here alone how much i like northfam, especially Snow and White. To be so honest, Snow and White were the biggest hesitation for me to NOT get into mhyk because we all know the "child looking character is actually over 2000 y.o." is NEVER handled well in fiction. Well, i ended up reading mhyk anyways, and to my relief, s&w's child forms do not get sexualized ever. Thank god.

But like mentioned before, this is not the case for the fandom. Not only do i always end up finding people shipping s&w together, but also many other of my faves, like oz and arthur (foster father and son) or mitile and figaro (student and teacher). Which i do not want to see ever, and the thing with twt is, you can't tag and filter stuff like on here. And even after being on twt for...idk how many months, i STILL end up seeing stuff i would like to stay 4869761093 lightyears away from.

I've been trying to do everything, from blocking to muting words to clicking the three dots on each individual post i don't want to see for the "please don't show me stuff like this". AND IT STILL HAPPENS.

Idk man...as a csa survivor myself it feels so hopeless...like is it really worth it here if i'll just keep finding stuff that triggers me? Is it worth meeting new people and constantly being on edge if this new fan thinks being proship is ok?

I really did like making fanart for fandom purposes, it made me draw a lot more, but between my dying interest in enstars and mhyk fandom thinking the stuff that has and will put me in therapy for decades is hot. I don't feel like interacting with fandom that much anymore ngl....and that makes me genuinely sad. Idk maybe this is a depressive episode that will go away but i feel so tired for now....hobbies are supposed to be fun....

Right off the bat I'm just gonna say I don't really interact with Sparklecare that much anymore outside of the crit blogs and the main comics, but I still hold many complaints about Sparklecare anyways. Most of my complaints have already been said by other people and phrased way better than I ever could, but there's still things I need to get off my chest. Something that I disliked when I still followed Sparklecare's main blog was that the AUs were being shoved down my throat (I might be exaggerating here because my memory sucks, but oh well). While I did manage to at least escape some of it by blocking the tags, I wasn't able to avoid the untagged stuff. I don't hate Cometcare, or any of the AUs for that matter (Are there other AUs outside of Cometcare? Idk, but I think there are), but I'm just not interested in them, and would rather not see them on the main blog, or at least, see them untagged. I personally think that Cometcare stuff should be kept to the Cometcare blog, etc etc. This is probably full of errors, contradictions, and horrible wording, as I do tend to get excited rambling and get things incorrect, but this is just my personal take on it. Anyways, I might not post a lot of my opinions, but I would like to be 🎲🎰 anon (You can also refer to me as gamblingnon)!

Half of the aus aren't even good gamblngnon. Like Cometcare is literally just some forced "all's well that ends well" fanfiction full of characters I won't ever care for, plus it feels like it's a forced way for KC to shove herself into a story and be "likable" (if you can even call it that). You know that one loud house fanfiction that's like 15 million words long and half of them are just rewritten episodes with the fanfic creator shoved in somewhere? That's Cometcare
