#I love yapping thanks for enabling me lol

[hero-of-the-wolf]

Hello!

Is there anything you'd like to yap about with your Hyrule Ruins AU? If so, I'd love to hear it!

Hello!!

I have to let you know Faith when I saw this ask I got so excited my brain shut down skavaksbksbsna here’s to hoping I sound coherent lol

Link has the Master Sword, right? but since he got yeeted into the future with it, that means that there is no Master Sword in the future

same with Zelda, since she got yeeted into the future the bloodline of the goddess has been discontinued and the royal family has fallen into obscurity

speaking of Zelda, she’s an aspiring anthropologist!!!!! she's absolutely obsessed with history and her favorite thing to do in the world is to grab Link and drag him out into expeditions around Hyrule to explore old ruins and find cool artifacts. my girl’s a field scientist, she gets really depressed when she’s stuck in the castle for a long time :(

(her father doesn’t know about the expeditions btw)

Link’s not all that interested in history himself but he loves to listen to Zelda infodump bc he loves to see her so happy ���� he has all this secondary knowledge through osmosis lol

her book!!!! it’s an old research journal she found in the castle’s library and she’s repurposed it to be her research journal. she’s basically got the whole thing memorized, and she’s always adding her own notes and drawings about the stuff she finds with Link

(she’d also go out to explore on her own, but it’s more fun with a friend, and Link is always so willing to come so they go out together way more often than not)

Link considers it his highest honor that it’s literally his job to make sure his best friend is safe lol

also yeah to me they are best friends 💙 but I don’t really mind if people wanna ship them ik Zelink is a popular ship lol

this is basically me rambling about Zelda and Link now lol but I love themmmm sm they are so special to me holding them gently

oh also the other Link is hiding a secret—

thanks for your tags on that nowhere boy post! I'm so curious what your thoughts are on the movie. When did you first see it? Are you a John girl? What are your thoughts on Mimi and Julia?

aww thank you for this ask 🥰🥰 (and i'm terribly sorry, i'm gonna leave a wall of text here, cuz I just can't resist the opportunity to yap about my Beatles-related experiences and opinions xd)

first of all, i don't really get why this movie tends to get so much hate (aside from the part where John hits Paui, and i really liked your insight that it was necessary to make the subsequent hugging and crying on each other's shoulders less gay - god i hate you late 2000's), because tbh this is my favourite Beatles biopic. Aaron Taylor-Johnson captures John's whimsical spirit quite well imo and even though Thomas Brodie-Sangster wouldn't have been my first choice for Paul, he's really good at being a charming motherfucker and a lil shit at the same time :D

i think i saw it for the first time in my late teens/early 20s with my mom and her husband, but i didn't pay much attention to the details then (given that i only had a very surface level of Betales-knowledge back then). I rewatched it last November though (in the midst of a full-blown Beatles brainrot).

Am i a John girl? Huh, i guess i'm something that people around here would call a John-coded Paul girlie xd nevertheless I aspire to be a Ringo in the lives of my loved ones

And omg your last question led me very far, but I'll try to be brief (edit: i failed lol) :D so, as i read your notes, i was very surprised that it's considered an anti-Julia and pro-Mimi film (and seeing the points you have raised, now i can totally understand why). For me (even on my first viewing) it was never a Julia vs. Mimi thing. I've read it as a John vs John conflict (and this is the point where i start talking bullshit and/or total banalities. Feel free to correct me or argue with my points :D i always fancy a good argument). I've always seen him as a man with two conflicting sides: one is the whimsical, creative, free but overly emotional (consequently kinda unintegrable (i'm not sure if it's a real word lmao i hope it is :D) into modern western society) side (enabled by Julia), and the other one is the abandoned little boy who only wants to be loved, and is therefore ready (or even needs) to be controlled and steered in "the right direction" by others, hoping that they would not abandon him this way (and this side of him is fed by Mimi in a way in my opinion).

In my reading, both mother figures embodied and enabled one side of John, while actively trying to suppress or outright hurt the other side -- as, I think, John did in his own mind, constantly berating and hurting himself in the process. I thought Julia was so antagonistic (and i guess i was waaay more forgiving of her than i think an average person would be, because unfortunately in many ways her behaviour reminded me of myself), because imo society tends to frown upon overly emotional, somewhat detached and destructive, but free-spirited and creativity-enhancing behaviour, while supporting Mimi's "behave according to unspoken social rules and expectation, don't change the status quo, and suppress your emotions"-mindset, that she represented in the movie and tried to instil in John. (Seeing Mimi handle (and making John handle!!) Uncle George's death with coldness and complete suppression of emotions was just as painful and infuriating for me as the scene where Julia sent John away after all the (sometimes creepily inappropriate) lovebombing.) I have a theory that Paul was so important to John because he not only accepted but straight-up embraced (dare i say served) both sides of him. But probably i just see too much into all this xd

Sorry for the long, messy (and probably borderline meaningless) reply 🫣 i happened to have waaaaaay too many thoughts 😭😭

NEWS UPDATE: If Only You Believe in Miracles So Would I

Man oh man! Am I excited for this next update! Thank the gods my job is chill enough and enables me to lock in to get some writing done! It feels good to get ahead of my self imposed writing schedule, haha!

So, Nizar, when is the next update? Well, I’m glad you asked! It is almost guaranteed to be uploaded on Halloween! I have to do some cursory editing because me and tenses have big beef with each other, for some reason…

My friends might believe I love English, which for the most part that was true, but man sometimes past vs present tenses escape my unfortunate mortal comprehension! I… may need to study up 😔…

Other news! Besides editing and peer review (thank u bestie, if u see this lol, I know u busy), I’ve already got chapter 5 written up! Just a matter of deciding when I feel like posting it after it gets a good editing gander!

Now random complaints not work related! Creating a new aspect of Blood Magic is annoying and I learned more about human blood cells then I probably needed because sometimes my brain wants to be specific instead of blah blah blah magic bs blah blah blah. But hey! On the other hand, I actually know what my characters are capable of and how magic influences the human body! Amazing!

… I LOVE WRITING 😃 researching, organizing, headache-ing, and ranting to my bestie about my babies (OCs) and how much I have yet to reveal to everyone else! Yayyy!

Another link in case anyone is interested in reading Miracles —> Chapter 1

Also random, but maybe will be making another Spotify playlist for this story that’s more cohesive and time-period accurate cause… I love music lmao. And sometimes modern music throws the groove off on occasion. Thoughts and recommendations?

Current nonsense playlist —> If Only You Believe In Miracles So Would I

Alright well, thanks for the mini yap session! Have a great day, and maybe check out the story if it’s for your first time seeing this post! Take care everyone!

[calfrxca]

whoops, somehow i got dragged into this /silly, love yapping about my ocs, thank you for enabling me @gemsbokk

that being said, WHY WOULD YOU PLACE THIS PRESSURE ONTO ME, HALF OF THE SONGS ON HERE COULDVE BEEN FLOWERFACE !!!

1. An event that describes your character's past

Blood In The Wine, "i was given a name before i was given blood / like you were given your faith, / before there was made a God / young rivers in your hands and / glass burning in promised lands / you can drink, you can feast / there's beauty in your beast"

aughhh, he was created before the idolization of megatron as a religious figure/"God" even existed to the deceptions *bashing my skull into the wall and eating drywall*

2. How your character sees themselves

Скованные Одной Цепью, had to add at least one russian song to this list, i had a couple more but alas, they didnt fit as well as this one 💔

3. How others view them

Digital Silence, smth smth religious hysteria and zealotry affecting everyone around him and how it's not even bordering on dangerous for him anymore, it just is dangerous for everyone involved

4. Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic)

The Bog Bodies - Dorm Demo, "someone teach me to love / without it swallowing me whole / if love is to be changed, im only worsenin' / mosquito larvae in my ribs / he only loves me when i rot with him"

LIKE SORRY, BUT IT'S SO. THE ITCH IS BEING SCRATCHED !!! if you know you know LMFAO, shout out old man yaoi, it was between this one and maybe by flowerface, but ive been brainrotting this one more

5. A major fight scene

The Death of God's Will, i know this is like. the most obvious choice i could've put but COME ON, the song is so good, and my ultrakill brainrot is eating me alive, thanks hakita for making this banger

6. End credits song

Heaven's Gate, there's something here to be said about the religious trauma that appears in all my OCs but that's fine; anyways, i think he deserves to have The Realization just before he dies lol, i was feeling a bit, Goofy Silly

was fighting for my LIFE on this one, good lord; too many damn songs, not enough spots

i tag @chownkiies, @fanfricksion, and @chubitheshroom for this one! anyone else who wants to do this is free to as well 🫡

shoutout to this bastard for being my tf brainrot for like. a year

Good Morning! Happy start of the week!

September is almost over! But also spookiest month is coming! :D I was always sad as a kid that my country wasn't celebrating Halloween. Now kids do it more often while boomer parents yap how this isn't Bulgarian/Orthodox Christian holiday or something... Ya all need to leave the kids have fun and do kids things and enjoy being spooky and getting candy! I love preparing candy for trick or treaters!

I'm glad kids are having more fun and my generation seems more chill about these things.

October, october, october~!! I look forward to binge watching spooky movies, spooky series, bake cinnamon rolls, start inktober and agonize as I fall behind it ... :D;;; Speaking of, with how October tends to be, I may skip a chapter update at some point of my "The Snake, The Firebrand and The King of All" comic (update later today btw! Please look forward to it!). I think I'm keeping a good pace so far. I just know October gets crazy at work and between that and attempting Inktober, on top of... attempting to juggle FanFyria updates too... it may get crazy! But if it does, I will drop something instead of trying to be a hero and juggle everything xD;;

Sun Haven, Sun Haven~ That game is seriously enabling some kinda fang/claws aesthetic I'm super into and never realized until now lol We tried multiplayer with friends yesterday and it was pretty fun! Nothing broke (too much) yet :D;; We accidentally got ... God and his 3 angels (or Ary's whole family as we joke now!) I hope I get to draw them too eventually! Thank you for all who followed me for my Aryllin x Claude arts, I may do more in the future as I have ideas™ but also October may be too busy for that... but I hope you will enjoy other arts I show here too! :D;;;

Sun Haven Art Trades? I love art trades! Doing one with a friend now but if anyone is interested, hit me up ~ :D But it will have to wait for November at this point lol;;;;

Original Character (don't steal) ™ I've been scribbling Reciferius a lot lately, you guys remember him? :D;; he won the OC poll way back! I drew him recently, kinda keep scribbling him again on the side. Still not sure what to do with him, or in what world setting I can stuff him but... well anyway he has fangs now cause apparently it's "fangs n claws season" in my head!

I hope I get to finish this WIP eventually this week, I'm really happy at the vibe I got :D

And that's all~! I hope you have a great start of the week, dear reader! I hope the month of September was kind to you and brought you new dear memories for your life's album. I hope October brings you warm fuzzies and inspiration for everything you pick to do!

Hi Waru! I’m an a sentimental mood so wanted to drop by and say I rlly love your blog! You astound me with the amount of information you have on seemingly everything in motogp or bikes in general and you’re my tumblr version of checking if aleix is alright with the safety features. I’m not that well versed in the intricacies of it so you’re someone whose posts I look towards for guidance in that.

ps thanks for enabling my bridgerton yapping and putting catalan content on my dash it’s so interesting

Hi Em 👋👋👋👋

Honestly, i don't know how to answer this. I didn't know I have such a high place in the comunity.

To be honest, one of the best places to start learning about safety is Aleix himself. If he says something, he's always right. My man can act careless and like an idiot, but he's the only one that despite being in the front, still goes to the back of the grid to ask about visibility. if he could, he would fistfight Ezpeleta, DORNA, IRTA and the whole safety commission and race control to improve safety.

I you want to learn more, probably try to search for Box Cero from DAZN. They have an ex-MotoGP/500cc engineer with them and he talks about the whole bike. and the mechanics, I also learnt a lot (like to the 50th anniversary he brough and old suspension to compare with the current ones). I just happened to learn a lot passively and have very good teachers (best money invested ever in DAZN).

Lol, don't worry I'll always enable people to talk and yap about what they want. I do love a regency story, but I can't make myself write one (unfortunately), so hearing about others peoples ideas makes me happy

[drivingsideways]

ALL of them for TMTTAL? Pretty please?

Aww, thanks, Gin! Tell Me The Truth (About Love) is definitely one of my fave things to have written, so I'm happy to yap about it!

☼: how i came up with the idea

I think it started with just an off-the-cuff tumblr ficlet that I wrote, not very well thought out- but that eventually became the official meet cute in Chapter 7 of the fic, where Hyeon-min confronts his STALKER. But then I got thinking about it, like, not in a very structured way- just trying to figure out how I'd get the characters to that one scene, and then @rain-hat was the best enabler, so I just started writing and then...just didn't stop for a long time.

☄: what the writing process was like

It was delightful and exhausting! I was definitely on a roll- by that time I think I'd been almost continuously writing in one fandom or the other for like five months straight- which was extraordinarily productive by my standards- but! Hot girl summer! I loved the story and I believed in it, but I think I went through all the usual emotions of "why" and "when will this torture end" and "oh my god this is all crap". I really wouldn't have made it through if not for the wonderful and generous Rain, who cheered and cried and was, I think, at some point at least 50% more invested in the fic than I was (because I was a tired rodent by then).

✄: something i deleted before the final draft

Oh man, I realized just now that I deleted all my drafts in one of my rare instances of laptop-housekeeping, so I'm sorry, I don't have anything to show for this! I didn't delete a lot (that I remember- but that's also because I often edit as I go along!) but there was a back story for Sister Lee as a labour rights activist, and there was a longish office-comedy scene at the start where Hyeon-min goes to check about his leave pay with HR, and I think the hardest was cutting out a small scene about Kang Hyeon-min's mom- I cut it for pacing, and couldn't find a place for it later, but I wish I had managed it somehow. Oh, and there was an entire backstory about Hyeon-min's realizing he's bi, and his first boyfriend.

♡: my favorite part

You're going to laugh, but eventually my favourite parts of this story were NOT the scenes between Hyeon-min and Yeong, it was the Koo-Kang family- they were the gift the story gave me- because I honestly had no idea I was going to write them that way until I wrote the first line: "It’s Koo Seo-ryeong who susses him out first, and if Kang Hyeon-min were a little less incensed with her, he might have paid attention."

I just love all the scenes I wrote for them, and I can't particularly choose, but I think this bit stands out as what (I think) is good characterization work? :D

She'd sat up, suddenly, and climbed over him, picking up her clothes from the floor.

Hand propped on the pillow, he'd watched her dress—not hurried, but efficient.

“I think we’re done here, don’t you?” she'd asked, casually, as she'd belted the wide buckle of her dress.

He had wanted to ask her what he'd done wrong—but then, he’d never known what he’d done right either .

and maybe my fave exchange (technically: text) I've ever written:

Gyeongie got me a Kit-Kat today, he writes, so Song & Kim had better get you out soon or I’m going to have a new favourite Koo sister.

As if, comes the reply, within seconds. I made a man of you, baby, never forget.

☠: something i found challenging

This was definitely the "case fic" part of the story- for someone who grew up on a diet of whoddunits, I just couldn't make it work, and a large part of my tension during writing it was the resultant feeling that I'm just plain dumb? Eventually I had to stop stressing about being *clever * about it, because, after all, it was just a plot device for the things I wanted to get at.

☾: how i thought people would respond to the fic

Lol, I thought a handful of people might enjoy it- or so I hoped- but it was a long, slow burn for a niche pairing in a relatively tiny fandom, so I wasn't expecting many readers. (But I'm thrilled so many people enjoyed it and I sometimes go back and read the comments on it when I'm feeling low. Thanks y'all!)

☽: how people *actually* responded

I think it has a small, but devoted fanbase! *blows kisses at you all *

∞: something i wish i’d done differently

Hmm, you know, this is one of the few fics I've written that I'm largely satisfied with? Well, yes, the case fic part was probably something that should have been better, and I always find my prose utilitarian- but on the whole, I think it came together pretty well!

★: something i’m proud to have accomplished

Idk if there's anything I *have * with this particular fic- personally, I'm just happy if I can get a reader to click through to the next chapter. :D
