another day, another ask game
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 or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
@cheesenames tagged me :) first ever time I've done one of these haha. I am cheating a little bit because these are a) just fan fiction ones, and b) just the ones I've actually started work on...otherwise this list would go on forever
ah yes my beautiful wips (please for the love of god do not look at my ao3 it’s three crackfics and a bunch of some of the most atrociously written stuff out there). these range from 'I've written 2k and just need to rewatch some stuff before finishing' to 'literally a few sentences'
stalking his god
lessons in pedagogy/a good teacher
such men are dangerous
mon mothma is alive
untitled document - silm
tagging time I guess. also with no pressure: @midnight-melancholiaaa, @ozvezdja, @e-the-village-cryptid, @batshape, @cycas, @husborth
sorry for pinging people haha. largely just people I know or whose work I love :)
#original ani thought#I have literally never done this before so sorry if I've broken some Tumblr rule or something#I have been on this webbedsite since around 2018 and I still don't know how it works.#I am a professional lurker#the untitled document one is honestly kind of finished? its very bare bones conversation but I think it kinda works stylistically#writing (fic)

I have one sorta like this, if one were to replace the extra arms with a long tail.

preface: i have had a tumblr since ~2010
back in the old days we just followed people with the same fandom interests as us from searching tags
i am too old to hyperfixate like i used to so i am content to search tags and reblog from there without following
i follow a good number of blogs but a lot of them are themed specifically and aren't personal blogs
but i would like to see activity on my dash again so how in the hell do i find blogs that are:
active
more general posting/shitposting (not specifically fandom-based)
not run by literal children
am i cursed to use this weird "for you" page to find content?
am i just really asking how do you make friends on the internet?
#tumblr#meta#posting into the void hoping it shouts back#i am a professional lurker who just wants decent content to come up on refresh every now and again#i miss the days when i could look at a blog and recognize them as a person even if we never really talked or anything#i don't need best friend mutuals but idk reblogging from a person and not a bot would be cool?#help

Just to think...he possibly kudo'd the fics
There's like, knowing Jeff reads and writes fic based on hints and context clues. Which is kinda like. Deducing there is probably a coyote under your bed, and not checking because you're at least reasonably sure that if there actually is a coyote hangin out down there, it won't kill you, worst case scenario it chews up a couple socks.
And then there's Jeff Saying he reads SPECIFICALLY KINNPORSCHE FICS in a way that implies he's probably read most of the popular ones. And that's the coyote poking it's head out from under the bed and MAKING SURE you see it before ducking back under and audibly starting to eat all of your dirty laundry, which you know for a fact it took. And that laundry is dirty
#jeff can read whatever he wants#just dont tell me which url is his#and here i am side eyeing both my current and future fics#while laughing at everyone else#professional lurker jeff

Hi!! I have been a lurker for a while and now I am feeling brave enough to request!
Can you do a headcanon for the reader being Hannibal’s assistant? Will and Hannibal both are interested in the reader 👀
shout out for all the silent lurkers and avid likers, all inspiring asks and lovely followers! we’ve hit 500 likes! thanks a lot, you can expect so much more pieces in the coming time. this is an excellent idea, i got to work as soon as i read your message, hope you enjoy it as much as i did, have a great day! <3
pairing: hannibal x gn!reader, will graham x gn!reader
warnings: mention of mental illness, obsessive behaviour
you came to know hannibal while working night shifts at baltimore hospital
you were supporting your family through a rough time and nights just payed better
it was rather depressing: nurses were catching naps and doctors counting minutes to the end of work day (or rather work night)
and there was you: giving out coffees and words of encouragement, always happy to help
it would take a keen observer to notice how miserable in fact you were
abnormal amount of pills and concealer in your desk, the faces you made when seemingly no one was watching
towards him you were perfectly professional yet warm, greeting him with smiling eyes and polite nod
he wanted to help you get out of here, find a place for you to get better
so when months later hannibal was setting up his own practice, he immediately thought of you
you seemed like a perfect candidate for an assistant: organised, punctual and your presence was warm and comforting
this was the quickest job interview
when you picked up the phone and heard lecter’s voice, surprised would be an understatement
he was a man of a few words and you could count the times you spoke to him on the fingers of one hand
yet you were touched by the offer and accepted it the same day
the hours were much better and wage way beyond your qualifications, but you were just happy to quit your crappy job at the hospital
this time hannibal was the one greeting you with hot coffee in the morning and if the sessions extended into the evening, you would drink tea together
of course, the job had also its downsides
offering smiles to troubled souls, often comforting them after an especially rough meeting
one time a guy stormed off from the office, yelling insults left and right
you tried calming him down, it wasn’t the first time it happened, but all efforts seemed to angry him even more
he was getting dangerously close, threatening to kill you, when hannibal punched him in the face and shut the door in his face
“i assure you, he won’t step his foot here ever again”
still shaky, you hugged him tightly
that’s when he promised himself to keep you safe
soon many patients started to disappear, filling your days with long conversations with hannibal
the only person he paid attention to besides you was will graham, a detective and hannibal’s patient
not long after you three became inseparable
eating meals together became a daily routine, hannibal insisted on gifting you dresses every time he was having guests
when the host was entertaining the crowd, will kept you company
you were both outsiders and having him by your side was warm, comforting
he would always joke about running away from the party together
eventually hannibal would break you away, scolding will for denying others the pleasure of your company
by “others” he meant himself
he hated the way you looked at the other man, how he clasped your hand sneaking off from the party
the soirées always ended with an elaborate toast, during which he never broke eye contact with you, making you feel like the star of the evening
will was fuming inside but kept smiling till it was time to walk you home
they insisted you needed both of them just in case something would happen
they never let you out of their sight
just in case, you know
#hannibal imagine#hannibal x reader#bedelia du maurier#nbc hannibal#will graham#hannibal lecter#hannibal reactions#murder husbands#yandere hannibal#reader insert#silence of the lambs#hannibal headcanons#send asks#send me asks#mads mikkelsen#mads mikkleson

Hi all! Wanted to make a super quick lil obligatory “thank you so much” post /j. Content warning for me getting emotional
So, I want to preface this by saying I’ve been a lurker in many communities for a long time, and even a participant in many.
This community is, without a doubt, literally the kindest community I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting to be in. You guys are honestly so unbelievably kind and funny and creative and talented.
I’ve met so so many amazing people over the past month, and have made so many friends in this awesome community. I’ve stayed up late playing games with some of you, have drawn with some of you, spoken to you guys, seen your participations in my events, or even just admired your art. I feel so lucky to have found such an incredible group of people.
I am almost at 200 followers now (yes I know what that means), and all jokes aside, I just cannot believe it. Never in a million years did I think I’d get to 200 followers in a month of being an active tumblr user- that’s crazy. Like that’s genuinely insane to me. The kind comments and notes and reblogs I’ve gotten are so heartwarming, and I want you to know I read all of them, and I love all of them, even if I don’t respond.
The idea that this many people connect with or enjoy my art is… wild. It’s completely wild. What’s even more wild is, as of right now, my comic is more than halfway to getting monetized. Again, that’s fucking crazy dude. I’m not a professional artist, nor am I an English major who can express my thoughts on all this, but from the bottom of my heart…
Thank you.
(August bulletin board featuring the works of the amazing artists @narikill and @ghostofa-spacenerd, both super talented artists and you 100% should check them out and show them some love!)

Hi! I am usually a lurker, but I have been following you for about a year or so (found from r/MM_Romance AO3 recs search) and my first read was Deeper into the Woods. -- Do you have any recommendations for "realistic" portrayals of sadists? (AO3 stories or MM romance but also open to non-fiction recs/other) -- I do not have any real-life experience with people who identify as sadists or the kink community in general, so I wonder how exaggerated the fiction is sometimes. Thank you for your time!
Hi anon!
I'm going to rec two of my own fics - Spoils of the Spoiled (especially tracing a young sadist who has to figure out where the lines are between reality and fiction in his own life), and Falling Falling Stars (which depicts an experienced genuine sadist who is quite frank/open about talking about it and is comfortable in himself about it).
You probably have a lot more experience with real life sadists than you know, since most of us are just regular people! (And quite a few of us are also masochists as well). Honestly it's possible to see people with sadistic tendencies in every walk of life. From massage therapists who enjoy working the knots out of their clients (including the 'good pain' it results in), to the professional manufacturers of boutique hot sauce, who like nothing more than watching someone suffer through what they created.
(And same with masochists - you need only look at the people who enjoy that hot sauce and the pain it causes them, lmao.)
You might also like the published m/m romance series by Lisa Henry and JA Rock known as the 'Boy series.' It starts with The Good Boy and the sequel is The Boy Who Belonged. It is, imho, a great and realistic depiction of an experienced sadist and a newbie masochist, as well as a trauma recovery story with an age gap, which realistically addresses the age gap, the sadism, lateral ways of being sadistic with someone who finds impact play triggery, and more. For me it's still one of the gold star versions of published m/m which shows the perspective of both characters, so we get to see what they're both thinking, and - imho - it's pretty realistic!
I'm also gonna rec one of my fanfics, The Beast that Chose Its Own Bridle, since a lot of the chapters are from the sadist's perspective, and while the setting is fantasy, the actual thought processes behind setting up scenes, the intention, riding the line between too much hurt and the right amount, what kind of pain is sexy and what isn't, etc. is - I feel - quite realistic. It's one of the things that fellow sadists have praised my work for (that the sadists feel like real sadists, and not just wish fulfillment sadists, who are otherwise apologetic for enjoying someone's pain), and while I still have a lot to learn re: writing in general, it's one of the reasons I write what I do!
#asks and answers#inadvertent recs#falling falling stars#spoils of the spoiled#the beast that chose its own bridle#self recs because i can#pia on writing#pia on fanfiction#folks can add more in the replies#there are other good representations i just#am tired and need to feed my dog lunch aslkfjsa#but also frankly#i feel like most sadists read like service tops#instead of genuine sadists#so i'd caution folks to be aware of if you're reccing just a good service top character#or a genuine sadistic character#who is a good representation of what it's like to be sadistic *in reality*#administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

Can Molten still feel negative emotions or not? I’m unsure since at first I assumed this goop was liquid positivity but now I’m doubting myself- also do you use discord by any chance? :3
i think i first established this in "what i never told you." But yes, he can feel negative emotions! In fact he has a whole complex about it. He was raised to believe he wasn't supposed to feel or express negative emotions. Molt feels there is something wrong with him, something spoiled from the start, because he can feel those things. Molt feels “morally obligated” to not act on those feelings. But he slips up more than he realizes.
Like the way I handle Molt, the way I interpret Classic!Nightmare goes a bit against the grain. I don’t like the idea that goop prevents him from feeling positive emotions, because that makes telling a story kind of hard and makes him feel flat as a character. Instead I think goop works better as symbolic denial of personal growth. Nightmare gives in to his darker impulses because he refuses to believe things COULD get better, for himself and others. Or some sort of character arc like that. It doesn’t have to be that specific arc. TLDR: humans want their characters to be complex and relatable, and I reject the idea that Nightmare can only feel negative emotions.
I do have a discord! But… *leans in close to whisper* I’m a professional lurker. I am a shadow in the server. A glitch of a user name in the corner of your screen, I hardly say anything! I’m not fun to know on discord at all, I’m afraid.

@beltiel, thank you so much! I gave these all a listen: I totally see where they're all coming from. Crying over Flaws and Just The Way You Are :')
I'm curious if anyone has any songs that make them think about Kirk and Spock. If so, I'd love to hear about them! I'm trying to build a Spirk playlist and I'm coming up a little short.
#i am (used to be) a professional lurker#so if i committed a communication sin by replying/tagging this way i am sorry

wow love how u completely disregarded my ask for help with mora...bet you're proud of your decision...but I'm connecting one & one together... remember that show Keiko from like 2013 where she stormed off from the crowd bc they kept chanting her name? Now look at her digital single... キライ。it translates to I hate you. Coincidence? I think not. I mean look at the way she poses...I'll definitely stop following her...I'm surprised Hikaru & wakana arent like her...yeah I'll definitely be leaving her fanbase. I don't fw with artists who despise their fans like her.
Okay....?
For the longest time I was debating whether to write a reply to this or not but ultimately I decided that I would use this opportunity to post a few reminders for my followers and lurkers.
In my PINNED POST you'll find this little section here👇
Everyone should click on the link and read what I have to say about asks and messages.
Please be aware that it is a mere courtesy on my part that I am using so many of my resources to help fellow fans with their questions and problems. I am not obliged to do anything on this blog and you are not owed any answers from me. If I can help you, fine, that's great, if I can't help you, tough luck...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The original ask was not explicitly related to Kalafina, it was merely an inquiry asking for tech-support on an issue I literally know nothing about. My knowledge regarding the music platform "mora" does not extend beyond what I have included in my tutorial which quite frankly, I doubt you have even read in its entirety.
As for the rest of your lovely message, all I can say is, good riddance👋 I hope you are serious about leaving the fandom because no one wants or needs toxic people like you around. Also, please get off the internet and seek professional help(¬_¬)
#kalafina#reply#personal#wtf#the shit I have to deal with#mora#also I feel old bc I had to look up “fw” XD

Hi!! I hope you are doing well! I’m a buddie lurker and Painfully Shy so I’m actually a little scared about sending you this, but I wanted to give you an extra extra appreciation to your blog and your posts. It’s been such a breath of fresh air to be able to read level-headed discourse about Tommy’s role in Buck’s story - because it IS Buck’s story (and to an extent Eddie’s, because Buck’s story is always going to be a part of Eddie’s story and vice versa, and that is and always will be canon whether or not buddie happens).
Also, after reading a few of your and your anons’ posts today about how Oliver and Lou don’t get along, I got a little curious and watched that one LFJ/OS interview (never bothered to before) and now I have a lot of Thoughts lol... so I wanted to send you my two cents if that’s okay (otherwise please please ignore me)!
I got a little curious about their chemistry as actors since Buck and Tommy always fell a little flat to me anyway (maybe bc I'm comparing them to Buck with Eddie). And after watching that interview, I am not surprised. I can admit that at face value, I don’t think it was as bad as some people made it out to be, BUT it definitely was not great. Individually, something about Lou’s demeanor just seems so wooden? Robotic? It was extra apparent because Oliver and the interviewers were so much more animated. Regardless, the whole interview felt off and though Oliver did give it a solid shot, they were just NOT in sync with each other.
I suppose someone could argue that they just don’t know each other that well since this is the first (?) and only (??) time they interacted outside of the show. But then I ended up watching an early interview of Ryan and Oliver when they were filming season 2 to compare and… well, there is definitely no comparison. Ryan and Oliver in this interview is SUCH an amazing example of natural chemistry between professional actors. There was a comfortability to their banter and (so much!) teasing, which could have been awkward but they riffed off of each other really really well. And they had just met!
And of course now I'm thinking about the Buddie of it all because I think this is also an example of how platonic chemistry could look like (a la Bobby/Michael and Hen/Chim) and that Ryan and Oliver could be capable of it. But then we get whatever it is that we get whenever Buck and Eddie are on the screen together - which is decidedly much less platonic (“You wanna go for the title?”), much more tender (“I should have been there”), much more sincere (“Because, Evan…”), much more loving (“There is no one I trust more…”), and just so so soft (Buck falling asleep and his permanent spot on Eddie’s couch), etc etc. over the course of YEARS. I have a headcanon that when/if Buck and Eddie get together they will literally be the softest softbois for each other - I’m talking so much (SO MUCH) hand-holding, wearing each others clothes, cuddling, a lot of talking each other up and “that’s MY boyfriend” etc etc etc. they’ll be SO annoying and they deserve it so much after everything. Christopher is constantly embarrassed by his dads which just makes Eddie double-down on the insufferable gooeyness because he lives to embarrass his kid (affectionately) and Buck’s so used to it that he doesn’t even bat an eye - anyway sorry sorry, I completely lost track of this message…
This is the S2 interview I am referencing in case you are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4asUcdU18ns
So much love to you!
Thank you for your lovely post Nonny!
I agree that the interview with Lou and Oliver isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. It's just that there is zero direct interaction between them and Oliver just didn't seem all that happy to be there, while Lou just kept on talking about himself and his father. BT was hardly mentioned. So, it was literally a 'nothing' interview.
Oliver and Ryan have natural chemistry, I agree. Sometimes you get lucky as a showrunner and you get people with natural chemistry. on 911 Tim got very lucky with Jenn and Kenny, Peter and Angela, Aisha en Tracie and of course Oliver and Ryan. The only ones that aren't currently in a romantic relationship are Buck and Eddie, but they have that same chemistry as the other pairing. This isn't just platonic.
I love your soft Buddie headcanon. Let's hope we'll get to see it someday.
