#I have a bunch more that I might post later

[puppysloves]

oh finally this post showed up again i had something to say but i lost it to the cruel tumblr gods.

this might sound a little weird but i think it's because of yaoi and fujobait. like you mention alhaitham and neuvilette and wriothesley and sure this region has male characters like kinichi and capitano but there's nothing in terms of like fujobait.

say what you will about the ships themselves and the genshin fandom's ability to take two men standing near each other and be like "they're deeply in love". when it first came out there was the new game hype and a bunch of potential ships to feed it. as updates started to roll in with liyue we got zhongli and childe and the fujoshis ate good and made it huge.

then inazuma started coming out and it had thoma and kazuha to slap into relationships and as updates continued you got gorou/itto and ayato/thoma and more about scaramouche to slap him into any old relationship!

and then sumeru comes out and once again in the beginning you get tighnari/cyno and as you continue you get alhaitham/kaveh and those 4 ships make the fandom truly explode in the same way zhongli and childe did. so when the next nation comes out you have lyney and freminet to slap into any old relationship. and even before the main story had come out people were shoving neuvilette and wriothesley together but later updates only gave more content.

the reason that natlan isn't getting this same treatment is because it didn't give fujoshis really anything to work with. kinichi is fine but who do you see him shipped with? usually female characters unless it's someone getting silly with it. capitano will get slapped into ships but the passion is lacking. there's nothing for fujoshis to sink into and so fan content sits stagnant.

yaoi changes the world. without yaoi fandom burns out and withers.

save us pantalone and dottore we cry. /lh

but legitimately I do think the severe lack of yaoi is why natlan feels that way

would it be problematic of me to say that i get this feeling that genshin used to be more popular in terms of fics and fanarts like a year or two ago? something about alhaitham, and then neuvillette and wriothesley just made people absolutely positively feral after they became playable

"Oh my God, I'm back again!" *coughs* to ask you:

Do you wanna write a fanfic? As they say in the film, "The sky's awake, so I'm awake, so we have to play!" It's that brilliant time of year again where we all feel festive (or have festive feelings foist upon us). Fairy lights, foil decorations, foliage inside the house; it's all there waiting for us.

So, do you like writing fic? Do you like reading fic? Do you like going to various places and saying to other fandom peeps, "Omg I love your work!"*

Then this is the fic exchange for you! Today's post is the sign up post. Under the cut will be a list of questions. All you have to do is send me either a DM or an ask with your completed questionnaire then wait for your match!

Last year was a really good laugh. We all had fun, and there was a lovely bunch of new fics available to read (which is always a good thing in that dead time between Christmas and New Year's).

Schedule!

This is open to anyone in the Sanctuary fandom, regardless of character/shipping preferences. When it comes to fic length, the minimum is 300 words. I don't really wanna give a max (because I know how the muse can get sometimes), but if we cap it around the 2k words mark that should be cool.***

I'll be posting a link to this around the place (and reblogging again this evening for the later crew), and you are more than welcome to message/contact me with any questions, queries or concerns.

Under the cut: the questions!

What I would not like to receive: (All the things that you do not vibe with, or squick you. Please please please again with any trigger warnings - I don't want a gift to upset you. 😊)

Any other info that doesn't fit in the other questions: (General vibes, could you be a pinch hitter, any thoughts, questions, etc)

--

And that's that. 😊 Thank you for joining in, and see you December 7th with your matches!

*I love when this happens. If this is something you do, keep doing it you sparkling diamond!

**If you find you can't finish, or something comes up that means you have to pull out, please let me know so I can arrange a pinch hitter. I won't be angry or disappointed or anything because this is for fun, and your health (mental and/or physical) is more important.

**Obviously, if you find you go over a bit, don't freak out or anything. This is just for fun, after all.

And that's it! I hope you'll message and join the fun, cause just think - more Sanctuary fanfic is never ever a bad thing!

Hi, so I started watching Gem's Wild Life POV after reading some of your Gempearl posts and I got curious of what was happening on the other neighbourhood (as a Martyn and Grian main watcher) and can I just say that I'm now just so intrigued/enamored about their whole dynamic.

Like, now I see how much Pearl stumbles upon her words when she's in a conversation with Gem in comparison to when she talks with anyone else and I'm left thinking- why does that happen. How is she such a (for lack of better words) sad wet puppy when she is with Gem? Is that like just their regular thing?

And Gem, despite the things about hating Pearl and stuff, is both at the same time more demanding and softer with Pearl than she is with other players? Or at least that’s the feeling I got. It’s like she wants to forgive Pearl but she also loves having Pearl's attention on her more than anyone else's, I think that if Pearl stops following her around she will explode and then pretend she doesn’t care.

They are really interesting and I'm now wondering if they’ve just like- always been that way. Are they like that on Hermitcraft too or it’s just something for the life series? Are they that weird about each other on Hermitcraft too or like- what's their deal. I love them now and need more knowledge

the great thing about them is that, like a lot of other traffic duos, the ccs are good friends, so when you translate this real friendship into a angsty roleplay series, you end up with some interesting results.

so, yeah. cc!gem and cc!pearl have been friends for like 8 years, they’re around the same age, they joined hermitcraft at the same time, just a bunch of coincidences that easily explains their dynamic. so when you see them “flirting” on wild life it’s the way straight girls flirt with their besties (i know gem isn’t straight, it’s just an analogy).

if you ask are they like that on hermitcraft too? yes. they consistently have wholesome and hilarious interactions, dating back to s8 with “if i asked you to catch me if i fall, you have to do it when i fall!” “i could just pick you up a day later :)” moment. i can’t really explain their dynamic they just happen to bounce off each other well.

yes, pearl’s always been Like That with gem. i don’t know that much about gem but i’ve been lurking in pearl’s streams for a year now and she is really wet cat when talking to and about gem. i think it might just be an actual respect that she holds for gem and doesn’t want to like, make gem get the wrong impression of her by answering weirdly, and also because she’s constantly sleep-deprived. as a rule, pearl usually stumbles over her words a lot, regardless of who she’s speaking to (on account of the no-sleep thing), it’s because gem tends to tease more which is the sort of stimulus that results in pearl stuttering. so it’s not necessarily gem-exclusive - pearl makes a lot of gaffes, my favourite’s got to be “they’re not gonna burn down my dog with my house in it!” in DL.

go ahead and watch some shiny duo compilations on youtube. outside of the toxic yuri in WL they’re genuinely an entertaining duo and there’s a reason they’re so popular

medic tf2 doodles?!?!?? in this economy!???!?!? (art from yesterday)

most gentle and sweet middle aged german man in the whole entire world smile vs planning to swap all of your organs with a series of interconnected frogs smile

a doodle i did of Medic and Archimedes.... he looks too round in this drawing, not smug and evil enough..... also Mitzi from the RAE appearance :D

i LOVE the voicelines Medic has with Haunted Archimedes, he's not disturbed or even slightly put off by the fact that his zombified dove is 1. talking and 2. has a violent and constant craving for brains. he's just like. being a slightly irritated pet owner about it. he's just like "ugh yes archimedes vants all zhe brains doesn't he. now shut up". also i think this is the most on-model medic drawing i've ever done wtf

Besides the intense drinking culture of both the Gallaghers and the general south side, the addiction gene from his parents you can never escape. A major, the near sole contributing factor of lips alcoholism is from college. He is almost entirely isolated. He is a first generation college student (high school was easy, it was nothing. He’s never done this before.) He’s from a “low income family”. Everyone else grew up “comfortably” (read: rich). He doesn’t know anyone and doesn’t have a way to connect, it’s near impossible when you’re different, you have these fundamentally different backgrounds and childhood experiences. But parties? Drinking? That’s what he can do, what everyone can do. And so he does. And then he just doesn’t stop. Why would he? It’s normal, it’s comfortable, it’s connecting, everyone loves a good party, that he can do. It feels like the only thing he knows.

So it's a common headcanon (actually idk if its not canon but whatever) that fell bros have a cat Doomfanger and that Red hates it for… some…. reason

but! 

What if Reds s/o also had a cat? So not only he has to deal with Doomfanger at home, but also y/n’s cat when he's at theirs, and you know he can’t say shit he doesn’t want to lose points with them because of such a stupid thing right?

so here I have some ideas of how it could go: 

he tries to avoid the cat as much as he can, but the cat adores him completely

y/n? oh they're so excited! Usually their cat is extremely antisocial, so they're delighted to see that their cat likes Red so much, just literally the best thing!

since you know, they were worried that the cat wouldn’t like their bf, but look! The cat actually loves being around Red

…much to Red’s annoyance, the cat just. Won’t. Leave. Him. A L O N E.

whenever y/n isn’t around Red makes sure to let the cat know how much he hates it, calling the cat names, or you know (gently) pushes it away if its been snuggling up to his legs for too long

but… maybe eventually he stops minding it as much? maybe he even starts to like the cat- not that he would EVER admit to that, especially to Edge, he doesn’t want to become a designated babysitter for Doomfanger

and just maybe he starts playing with the cat or petting it, when no one is looking obviously

or when he thinks no one is, I bet y/n would notice at some point and take couple of sneaky photos, just cause they think it's so cute

…and probably also to send to certain younger brother

[wayfinderships]

[Looks around] Ok I don't think anyone is looking...

Ok so I just wanted to let out some design ideas I have for a C.yberpunk 2077 Panchi and some little facts I've thought up about them! The main thing being that their Design is heavily inspired by C.elty from D.urarara! Mainly just the Blue/Yellow/Black Helmet with cat ears and maybe they use a motorcycle like she does! The outfit itself would probably be quite different but I've yet to decide on the rest of the outfit

Speaking of the helmet, it's a pretty noticeable part of them! Mainly because they rarely take it off. Seeing them without their iconic helmet is a big sign of trust for them! It's not limited to romantic partners, it could also be for close friends as well! Though if you notice that a certain rockstar mentions how they've seen Panchi without the helmet...no you don't- Speaking of that rockstar! If you see Panchi wear a piece of jewelry that they got from that rockstar years ago and still wear it in present day...no you don't-

Oh and also they don't have a lot of cyberware on them, the most noticable (if not the only) piece of cyberware they have is one on their Left Eye. Though I've yet to figure out the details of it ^^

{J.P.N Fan-Made Horror roleplaying (rpg) Game} Hetalia Fox Tales ~ QUOTES + "PERSONIFICATIONS" vs. "HUMANS" + "DEATH" vs. "Disappearance"

"SO, I was thinking, {to BRING 'Gilbert' back...} - SPAIN

(Note: "Rufus" is a 'secret' spoiler character that shows up mid-game. Jia Long = H.K. {Yes others also Cameo if not have scenes}; others are human charas, other main charas etc.)

{Netherlands}

"The 'PERSONIFICATION' does not have to be 'KIKU HONDA' either."

(I'm coming back to this comment, but continue on...)

While the "lore" (and handling of H.W.S's) isn't perfect, all I'm saying here IS, if you like pondering the lore of what "personifications" means along with horror r.p.gs involving time-loops and mythological stuff and which basically acts as a (un-official - these are un-related fan-series) parallel to "HetaOni" except somewhat in reverse; (And Yet Not Completely!)

You all will probably be interested in watching "Hetalia Fox Tales", which is now fully and completely 'subbed'!

(And yes, the game itself, from 2k16, is 'completed'!)

Caps by @aph-japan Credit to DinoSlayer235 who Edited + Subbed from C.N. script {DO NOT re-post / claim as your own without Permission} (Please ASK to Use!) {The play-list is linked below - follow to direct link!}

Warning: It is still a HORROR R.P.G. There will be lots of eventual blood-splatters imagery; "Sound" of blood can also be heard often in later parts, notably well within even the first few parts.

Basic {Starting} Summary: The Nations are all visting (or planning to arrive at) {Kiku}'s location; {Not the 'main house', but Kiku's 'hosting'} Kiku seems to have also "invited" them for something. After a night of telling "scary stories", strange events begin happening. They all (+Kiku) tried retiring to their rooms, but... It would appear the "mansion" of ""Kiku""'s contains the "Spirit" that Kiku talked about from within Kiku's "Tale". Moreover, not much later on, "Romano" suddenly appears. He joins the group inside the mansion, after managing to find the way inside. "Antonio", who was trapped outside trying to join them as well, can't immediately get inside the mansion... (It uses graphics + a turn based battle system very similar to HetaOni. {Down to almost exact same 'attack names' in many cases} Thus, it might look a little outdated there; Please remember this is from around 2k16.)

Nano 2023 Day 17

hey wait a minute! how did you get here? (and where is that large automobile...)

“And I suppose you have special insight into his fate?” said Hermes. “Like where he is now? How to find him?”

“Bold to assume my visions would be helpful,” replied Apollo.

Hermes doubled down. “You found your way here, didn’t you?”

“Several hours late.”

“Sure, but you came.” Hermes pulled to the front, forcing his brother to a stop. “You’d never leave Hyperborea without a reason, come on. You had to have seen something big.”

Apollo stared Hermes down a moment before releasing a puff of white breath and scrubbing his hands through his curls. “I didn’t see much,” he said, eventually, leveling carefully against his brother’s gaze. “Just a crumbling Olympus, a boy with dark hair and grey eyes, and halo of storm clouds above him. I felt motion in the weave, so I let the strings pull me here.”

Hermes frowned. “You’re lying. There’s something else.”

Apollo smiled and shifted past him to continue walking. “Good luck proving that in court.”

“Pretty sure the god of liars can smell a rat,” Hermes called after him.

“And I invented lawyers!” said Apollo. “I like my chances. Now, if you don’t mind, we have bigger fish to fry.”

Hermes huffed and bit back a groan. Despite himself, he asked, “What kind of fish?”

“The kind that keeps father from clocking us as traitors the minute we get home,” replied Apollo cheerily. “Let’s hop to it.”
