Hello! I have been wondering, if you were not asked before: what was the inspiration for the Mirage's dimension worldbuilding? It was truly peculiar and original look into TF au worldbuilding as whole, I was mesmerized.
>peculiar and original yessssss this is a huge compliment to me >D thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!
If you mean specifically the fate of his Cybertron, I talked about it in the Afterword (last chapter of the fic) so I'm gonna yank the answer from there :D
...the original plan for 2938 Cybertron. Originally it was going to be an insecticon-riddled wasteland. The video game that Rodimus plays with Soundwave, Hostile Planet II, had his game character running away from insecticons as foreshadowing for this original idea. But as I got closer to the Firelove arc, I thought it would be more interesting to go the “stark wasteland” route, instead of the “insecticons are eating everything” route. I did a twitter poll and “stark wasteland” won, so I thought… let's try it.
here's a screenshot of the poll!
Tumblr media
in terms of how did I get to "sterilized world"? I... don't remember :'D I might have the train of thought written down somewhere in my hundreds of pages of notes. I think I was trying to think of 1) something that hadn't been done before, but was 2) still really horrific despite being "clean."
Now if you meant the whole "crystals determine everything about their society, including their language," that grew out of thinking A LOT and really hard about what it would mean for that to be so. Crystals were a huge part of the fic, so I just... leaned super hard into it, haha.
2938 Megatron shows the reader what Soundwave could become. That grotesque hunger for knowledge... idk, it just feels natural that it could come from a society bound up in layers and layers of meaning and expression.
I hope that answered the question. Was there a specific part of the dimension you wanted to know about? If I didn't cover it, feel free to shoot another ask :)
Thanks for the ask!

Nyoomer I’m thinking of starting my own Fic, what tips do you have for me? 💪🫶🫶
do whatever you want forever 🫵 💥 ‼
and i mean it!! i say this every time y'all ask me for fic writing tips, but you're doing this for fun! the number one most important thing is that you make whatever you personally want; if any of my writing tips - or the tips you see from others online - don't vibe with you, then just ignore them, even if it means writing in a way that other people call "wrong" or whatever. it isn't wrong if it makes you happy!
that being said, here's some tips that work for me personally, put under the cut since it's a bit of a text heavy post -
if you want to put a character in a Situation but feel like it might be unrealistic or OOC for that character to act in that way, you don't necessarily have to give up on the situation or think about how to change the situation to match the character's personality. instead, think about what might have to happen to the character in order for them to change to match the situation. example: normally Character A would not risk their life for Character B. but what if Character A owed Character B their life? what if Character A had just suffered a massive loss that made them take on some self destructive tendencies? what kind of mental state would Character A have to be in to risk their life when they normally wouldn't?
if something isn't fun for you to write, don't bother writing it, because chances are it won't be fun to read either. think about how you can communicate the same information without writing out the full scene, or if you even need to communicate the information at all. example: if you're slogging through a scene describing how a character gets from Point A to Point B, step back and consider if it's important that the readers know exactly how it happened, or only that it did happen. if you're trying to communicate that the journey was difficult, would it be effective to skip to Point B and then focus on how worn out or emotionally distraught your character is now that they're there?
when you plan out a scene, keep in mind what the characters should be getting out of it, whether that's information, a problem to solve, or a change in the character's world view/relationships. this will help keep the scene focused and character driven, which - personally - i find most enjoyable. example: if this is a scene that is meant to simply deliver information to the characters, then you can figure out the specifics of your scene by asking: who would this character trust to deliver the information? if it's not information that would normally incite an emotional response, can you change that based on context?
i hope those help a bit!! i also wrote some more general writing tips here in the past, and some tips on getting the motivation to finish/post fics here. i'm also happy to give tips on specific things if you ask!
i'm always excited to see another cook in the kitchen, so GOOD LUCK AND KICK BUTT !! 💥💥

Hello! I was wondering if you’d be willing to take commissions someday 👀. No pressure tho! I just love your art so much
The short answer: "not at the moment, but it is very possible in the future'!
The slightly longer answer: I would have to figure out a good pricing and payment system! PD-MDZS is also where most of my free time goes, so until my life settles down a bit, I would be on the slow side to complete them.

reading the posts of your rewatch of the double (or so i assume), and being Vastly Entertained XD would you ever consider making a post on your top 5 favorite outfits from the show?
ahaha this is a funny thing to be asked because i pay almost no attention to costumes...really wish i did but it's one of those things that my brain totally glosses over. other people will write insanely thoughtful costume meta practically off the cuff (no pun intended) and i'm like, i'm...pretty sure they were wearing clothes?? i WILL however tell you the top three moments in which i noticed an outfit and you can make of that what you will!
three. wanning's outfit that she's wearing when she kills her dad, SPECIFICALLY because of the sleeve flip she does as she's walking away. CHILLING. obviously i didn't notice her outfit before that, and i still could not tell you anything about it such as what color it was or, like, fabric or idk pattern? embroidery?? i know it had sleeves though.
two. shen yurong's robe (again i don't know what it looks like) that time that wanning collapses to the floor and tells him not to touch her after he tells her to marry li jin. the way he stands over her shaking out his sleeves in slomo!!!! goosebumps.
one. xiao heng's fuckoff cape ensemble at the guqin exam. THE STRUT MAKES THE MAN. he's 100% channeling the party don't start till i walk in and everybody knows it including me. even if i had had no self-awareness about my own lack of attention to costumes before watching this, seeing gifsets of his outfits on tumblr is what would have made me realize, because apparently he wears this outfit at earlier points in the show but i didn't make any note of it until this scene (and even then, i thought it was a brand new outfit and didn't recognize it from earlier scenes). the whole buildup with him getting dressed in slomo with layers billowing artistically and his bodyguards commenting on how long it was taking, then the dramatic entrance...i sat up in my chair. you got my attention. it's all about the attitude for me. i knew he was wearing clothes in his earlier scenes but that's the one scene where he's wearing Clothes. hope that makes sense!
honorable mention goes to the cloak that xiao heng wraps around xue fangfei's shoulders that one time she's drunk in the rain because i've not been able to stop thinking about it even after finishing my rewatch. facts: 1) he has also been standing in the rain. 2) that cloak is soaking wet. 3) fabric saturated in water is heavy. 4) he puts this heavy wet thing on her and thinks that he's helping but this is the best part: 5) he then picks her, wearing the sodden cloak, up in a bridal carry, thus adding to the weight that he has to carry in his arms instead of distributing it more sensibly across his shoulders. and again it is not actually keeping her dry. congratulations little buddy that's the worst you could have done it 👍

Hiiii not sure if anyone's asked this yet but any advice on how to improve on art & anatomy? I use to draw a lot wayyyy back in high school but then stopped because of life getting in the way but now I really wanted to get back into art but realized my art isn't as good as it use to be & I never really cared too much about studying anatomy so all my anatomy/proportions are really wack & I'd like to get better at it. Hope you're having a good day!!! 💞💞💞
HI!!! i dont have any formal training in anatomy nor have i really done any studies, so unfortunately i think i can only offer general advice, but hopefully you can still find it helpful! here's what i'd recommend based on my own experience...
focus on proportions BEFORE anatomy! nailing down the size/length of each body part in relation to each other will give you a good foundation before getting into the specifics of anatomy, since you can practice this with simple shapes (circles, boxes, tubes, etc.). then practice anatomy/build on top of that, rather than trying to figure them out in parallel
practice from real life observation/references (ex. figure drawing)! even if you want to draw stylized, it'll be much more helpful in the long run if you study from real life. you'll be a lot more informed in how body parts actually connect to each other or how they move. observe observe observe! take pics of yourself/watch how your body moves--you can be your own most accessible resource, and a mirror and camera can be your best friends
find a way to keep yourself motivated to practice anatomy! everyone says that you only get better with practice and time... and it's true! but i can understand that sometimes it's hard to motivate yourself. if you ask me, draw your favorite characters :) it's literally all i do HAHA. my mentality is that... if i'm drawing something that i like then the practice feels less of a chore lol

hey hi i'm buzzing with the need for dreamling fic recs if you would be so kind as to point me in your favorite direction pls pls pls
Oh friend, you asked and I shall ✨ deliver ✨
DREAMLING FIC RECS 🌻✨
of my misery make thy use by @qqueenofhades (Explicit - WIP - 129k so far - In Universe, but with some tweaks, Rescue fic) Dream is Roderick Burgess' prisoner, in all his silent, sullen, naked glory, and has given up on the thought of anyone ever helping him out of there. Even Hob Gadling. Especially Hob Gadling. In fact, he's quite sure the man never wants to speak to him ever again, regardless of his current predicament. A bummer, really, because he also happens to be married to him. (Listen that fic has slain me EVERY WHICH WAY, it has EVERYTHING, it will take you PLACES (literally), it's rewarding as fuck, has OCs to die for, just... just read it, ignore the WIP status, what's there is absolutely chef's kiss)
the unknown and static strange by @qqueenofhades (yes, again, listen, if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more bla bla bla) (Mature - WIP - 69K so far (nice) - Dubious AU status, Memento mets Academia, Modern day with a twist) Professor Robert Gadling, under cut rocking, weird dreams having, and trauma suffering, discovers a strange piece of undocumented art that seems to follow him everywhere he goes. The Regis Somnorum won't leave him alone, and as he tries to follow that thread, a whole mysterious tapestry unfolds, putting everything he knows, or thought he knew, into question. (This fic is a fucking delight, it's just KEEPS feeding you "oh shit" moments and suspense and revelations and the pacing just keeps you on the edge of your SEAT. Again, IGNORE the WIP status I BEG OF YOU, read it, devour it)
This Rough Magic by @avelera (Mature - WIP - 36k so far - Rescue fic with a twist) Hob Gadling never fancied himself a mage or a warlock, but dabbled enough in the occult to pick up a few tricks over the years, all in the hope to communicate with his Stranger. A stranger, he later discovers, who is trapped under Roderick The Fucking Magus Burgess's manor. Now, he may not be the best magic wielder there is.... but Burgess doesn't know that, does he? (There are some VERY clever things in this fic, everyone is written to a T, I love a fic where my loathing of Burgess can burn from the brightest flame and at the same time have him not like a cartoon villain but a full human being! Can't wait to see where that goes!)
if you just let me (have you, love you) by Lost_Elf (Explicit - 25k - Human AU - Adult Film Actors AU (I see you tumblr, restricting words these days, I see you) Both very prominent in their own niches of the Internet, Dom-BDSM-oriented Dream and Vanilla-centered Hob cross paths and plan what could be (or so their managers hope) the collab of the century. And they might learn a thing or two along the way. (Listen, I read this on a whim, I wasn't too into Human AUs at the time, I was up for some smut that day, and this fic is a LOT more wholesome than the subject lets on and really gripped me! Lots of very nice details in there! And also, you know.... smut)
by the minute by @issylra (Explicit - 11K - Human AU, Sex Phone Operator Dream) Dream has a bet with Desire : he has to manage a phone sex line for some time. He's not thrilled by it. Callers are... unimaginative and unoriginal, to say the least. Except one. He has a very nice voice. He's funny. And he sounds just about as lost as he is, in life. (The tags make it sound super raunchy but it's more about developping attraction through someone's voice and getting to know someone through the phone and falling in love and.... it's just lovely, it's very sweet, it's like a little blanket with a warm cup of tea, really)
Now I KNOW this is not what you EXPLICITELY asked for but.... dare I suggest..... something with an OC thrown in the mix? Cause that's just adding a fun player to the game, with added stakes, really!
as heart for heart, for loving me by @kittttycakes (hello darling) (Explicit - WIP but soon to be finished - 151k so far - Canon compliant - OT3 if there ever was one - How to polyamory, a guide for Dream of the Endless, a primordial being who needs to use his goddamn words) When Dream finds Hob at the New Inn, he's ready to open up a little. Be a friend. Be a little more than that, though he can't quite articulate it. The only issue with that is that Hob has a girlfriend. A live-in girlfriend. A very much serious girlfriend. Dream tries his darnest to hate her, and finds he can't quite bring himself to. (It's soft, it's lovely, it has angst, it has smut, it has fluff for days, it has developping relationships GALORE (plural) and it's just a nice read to switch up your rotation, cause the potential for situations is tripled now!)

Your tags for everything are so funny and clever and I love them 😍😂
Tumblr media
That makes me happy to hear, Ray! I'm just a big dork most of the time. 😂 I had a teammate earlier today say they love chatting with me on teams because I'll respond to certain issues with funny gifs or comments. I can't help myself. 🤣
And I will say, some of the tags other blogs use are so hysterical and creative.

Hello again! Willow you HAVE to stream! You would be so good at it! Take it from someone who did it, hated it, and quit lmao. But also from someone who made it through the pandemic with the help of twitch streamers and their awesome communities. Even the chats I didn’t actively talk in which was the majority. You can absolutely create a nice little space on twitch just as you've done here.
We already know you’re excellent at interacting with strangers on the internet and people want to hear your thoughts on the things you love. You’re great at keeping a conversation going and making the quiet ones (like me) feel welcome to the point that we want to participate too (clearly). And you just have great internet etiquette and carry yourself so well when you have to deal with gross anons that I’m sure you’d handle twitch trolls no problem IF it ever came to that. And thaaaat’s coming from someone who mods for a guy who did not handle the trolls well 😬
Was that screenshot you making your account? Lemme go follow
i really can't tell you how important it is to me that you feel welcome in our lil space here 🥺 because you are 🥺 you're so so welcome here and the thought that we've been able to curate this little corner of the internet into something fun !! and enjoyable !! and for everyone !!! means everything to me 🥺 you're so kind 🥺 how special it is that you've formulated such high opinions of me, i'm so 🥺 touched 🥺 blessed 🥺 how wonderful 🥺
i think it could be so fun to chat there !! idk what i would play !! maybe something fun and romance-y, like stardew 😌 idk idk !! the possibilities seem endless !! but it does sound fun 🥺 i am coming up on a milestone very quickly and i briefly wondered if maybe celebration stream would be interesting to do but !!! idk !!! i'm shy !!! i wasn't sure how many people would want to do that 🥺🥺
you sound so experienced with twitch !!! i was wondering if, in the future, if we go through with this, i could ask you some questions if i needed to ?? 🥺 bc i admittedly know nothing about twitch ajfbrjajq and you're like a liddol wizard 😌 idk !!!
how fun 🥺 how sweet 🥺 i'm so touched by all you've said, i can't believe it, how lucky am i 🥺
oh and yes !! hehehe that was my bio but !! this me !!! if you want to follow 🥺

I followed you on Twitter several years ago now and recently jumped ship to Tumblr! It's wonderful to see you here!! I hope all is well ❤️
this is a very kind message that i'm sorry i'm months late to! i made this account with the hope i would return to posting and socializing online - unfortunately, i have not yet managed to do so. health issues that severely limit my energy have withheld me from being active on social media, but that will change in the future. (a new medication has me optimistic.) so i'm sorry, kind person, all is not well - but hopefully it will be.

I rly wish i could draw your characters but my hands have a physical aversion to drawing lines, what if i wrote you some sort of short story or something? It probably wouldnt be more than 1000 words since like, i have 18 million things going on, but like, if i were to, what should i know?
OHHHH MY GODDD?? I would absolutely LOVE that ;_; <3 <3
I'm assuming you'd want to make something about Team Fate (my explorers team)? In that case, I don't think there's a ton of information you need to know; all of their personality traits and quirks are implied in the art I've made of them, so I don't think you could go wrong!
Tumblr media
here's a guide I quickly put together!! hopefully it's somewhat helpful
(more rambling below)
So basically, my pmd teams pretty much follow the canon personalities they have in the games: for example, Piper (eevee hero) has a very reserved and quiet personality just like the player character in the games, and doesn't speak or emote much - but she talks and laughs the most around her partner.
Clementine (vulpix partner) is pretty similar to the explorers partner; she's jittery and nervous, but loves to ramble about adventuring to Piper (who loves to listen). She scares easily, but feels stronger with Piper - so in a way, they basically complete each other. They balance out each other's weaknesses, and give each other strength.

Hey Queenie! I just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of your writing, you probably hear this all the time because you’re so talented, but your writing is amazing 🥺🥺I recently read your The Almosts series back in January, and it felt like a real book 🥺🥺if you don’t mind me asking, have you ever considered writing a series for Until Dawn where all the characters are back in high school? I would love that so much 🥺🥺or another series of The Quarry characters of what they get up to while they are camp counsellors 🥺🥺I love your writing please never quit writing❤️❤️
!!!! 🥹 oh my gosh, you're too kind!!!! sldkfjlskdfj you got me hiding my face over here, lest everyone see my girlish blush!!! hehehehe
i can't say that i've thought about writing a high school fic recently - that doesn't mean i never will, though!!! alas, the fact of the matter is...i am quite old these days. i'm a millenial whose back creaks and cracks every time i even attempt to whip, nae nae, or dab (my producers are telling me that the kids don't do these dances anymore, but god help me i don't know what they do do), and for that reason, i'm terrified any attempt at high school writing will come across as very "what's up fellow kids?" on my part asdklfjlskdjfd hahahahaha, but who knows! that could change ;)c
as for the quarry kids, i am FOR SURE always looking for an excuse to write about them getting up to shenanigans at camp, so while i also don't have anything planned-planned for them at this time, it's safe to assume you'll see something like that in the future!!! i just *sniffle* love all these horror movie kids so much
but wahhhhhh, thank you again, seriously - i can't even begin to tell you how much seeing this pop up in my inbox made my day! NAY - my whole WEEKEND!!! <3 thank you a hundred times over for not only taking the time to read my stuff, but to say such nice stuff about it 🥲 it truly, truly keeps the fire lit under my butt to keep throwing words out there!!!!

Might be a little preoccupied with those smash + pass memes for a bit since there's 22 sitting in the inbox right now! In all fairness, a few are doubles but in case anybody isn't interested in seeing them, you can blacklist the tag memes ;; smash or pass to avoid mine (and Roman's nonsense) until the memes are done!

I find it very ironic how the same cultish looser that shuns people based on who they're friends with because she genuinely thinks if you believe something you can't have human interactions or treatment to those who believes otherwise..... will preach hard and proud against harassment for people's headcanons, ships and takes whereas being friends with the person who did harass people's headcanons, ships and takes. But why rules are always only for their victims and never for them? What's so hard about following what you preach? Go ahead, disown this person and be mean to everyone who still likes them and want to give them a chance, you SHOULD by the terms that YOU'VE chosen! But you won't, you'll rather cover their ass and pretend you haven't seen the evidence, to save the face, because should you ever admit a mistake you'll explode from the notion of not being so "holy". PEAK L0garius and Alfred behavior.
