hii! I'm ok, thanks for asking, hbu?

I'm having so much fun seeing the messages from all of you and the reactions to the drivers x reader imagines, so a huge thank you is mandatory :)

arvid lindblad x reader, established relationship

~ "are you home?"

2024 had been an emotional rollercoaster for the Brit, who had found himself thrust into the sister formulas of the queen and had triumphed so many times that he had established himself as one of the strongest drivers.

And Campos had noticed. They offered him a contract for the following season alongside the Spaniard Pepe Martí.

Success, however, came with a slew of commitments, which had him traveling much more than he expected, spending less time in one place than he’d have liked.

He’d created so many beautiful memories, had a lot of fun with his teammates and the other drivers, and met incredible fans during race weekends. Yet, deep down, he was always on a plane—often delayed—with a meal deal dinner in hand and a hoodie keeping him warm.

And in moments like that, he felt the absence of his girlfriend more than ever.

Because maybe if she were there, she’d be so anxious about the takeoff that he’d be laughing, teasing her, and maybe even trying to calm her down through tears of amusement.

But instead, he was alone. Next to him sat a businessman with a briefcase who could easily have been a lawyer—or, for all he knew, something more sinister.

“Love💫”—that’s how he had saved her name in his contacts, adding a splash of color to an otherwise monotonous list of names and surnames.

He thought for a second before pressing her name, gazing outside where the wing of the plane merged with the dark Spanish night. In the distance, he could just make out the control tower’s lights.

Maybe he felt a bit foolish admitting he needed to hear her voice, but what was the point in keeping up the façade everyone else loved when she knew him like the back of her hand?

“Hey,” she answered, her voice carrying a smile he could easily imagine.

“Hey.”

“I thought you’d be flying by now.”

“Delayed. They took forever checking boarding passes,” the driver sighed.

“A good forever, it seems,” she teased.

In the background, Arvid heard a familiar sound: the steady chime of bells he knew well but couldn’t quite place.

“How are you doing?” he asked her.

“Happy. I took a break from studying. I was going crazy with exams.”

“It was about time,” he said, fiddling with his passport and settling deeper into the airplane seat.

“And what about you? Did you try those churros I told you about?”

“Yeah, I went with Pepe. They were fantastic.”

He pictured her sitting at a desk, laptop open, writing something she’d likely keep to herself, while her playlist played some classic in the background.

“I wanted to try them with you, though.”

She smiled softly, her heart tightening at the change in his tone. He wasn’t his usual sarcastic self; he sounded a little lonely.

“When you come home, I could try making them.”

“And burn down the kitchen? Not a chance,” he chuckled.

Someone laughed in the background, making him strain his ears to figure out where she was. Her surroundings didn’t sound like the quiet living room of her house in Italy.

“Are you home?” he asked.

“Actually, I wanted to tell you, but I guess I forgot,” she said, switching to speakerphone.

“Say hi!” she said, looking at Arvid’s family, seated around the dining table at his parents’ house just outside London.

Everyone erupted into warm greetings for the driver. When he heard the unmistakable voices of his dad and brother, Arvid let himself relax, closing his eyes to soak in the atmosphere.

“Hi, everyone,” he smiled, imagining how they’d probably invited her over for his mom’s famous lentils and some conversation.

“I’m really sorry. I must have forgotten to tell you.”

“Don’t be, ____. Don’t apologize,” he said, a little emotional, as his mom moved closer to his girlfriend. He could almost picture her resting her hands on her shoulders, trying to figure out if it was a video call or not.

“Hey, my darling, how are you?” his mom asked in her ever-so-sweet voice.

“I’m alive and well, Mom,” he laughed, running a hand through his curls before adjusting his headphones.

“Can I turn this into a video call, or will I bother you?”

“I’m literally having dinner with your family, Arvid,” his girlfriend grinned, switching to video and rotating her phone to landscape mode so he could see her face.

Instead, he saw a piece of home.

There she was, wearing a V-neck long-sleeve shirt, his mom standing just behind her, and the rest of his family at the table with a pot of fondue in the middle.

“You’re treating yourselves, huh?” he joked, waving at his brother, who was devouring a piece of bread.

“We can’t help it when she’s with us,” his dad quipped, making Arvid smile.

“I totally get it,” Arvid said, knowing full well the effect his girlfriend had on anyone she met—and how his family probably loved her even more than they loved him.

“When will you be home?” his mom asked, peering into the camera.

“Two weeks. Just a quick stop at Prema’s.”

They all nodded, chatting a little longer until the flight attendants announced the plane was about to take off.

His family returned to the table, diving back into the fondue with the joy seeing Arvid always brought, while ____ stepped outside into the garden, sitting in the cold with only her shirt to keep her warm.

“You’re going to catch a cold,” he said.

“It’s fine,” she shrugged.

“Are you mad that I’m here?” she asked, the Surrey evening breeze ruffling her hair as she hugged her knees to her chest.

“I could never be mad. At least you’re spending time with them, and they with you.”

She caught the tone in Arvid’s voice and rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him.

“And you’re jealous of that.”

“Not in a bad way.”

“I know, Ar,” she said, wishing she could hug him in that moment.

The bells chimed again, the unmistakable melody making them both smile.

“I could always catch a train when you’re in Grisignano,” she suggested, watching as he tried to avoid being caught by the flight attendants, who were doing their final checks.

“You have school, and you’re already tired.”

“And?” she smiled. “I miss you.”

“You’ve got my mom. She loves you more than she loves me.”

“Can you blame her?” she teased, just as his brother called her back inside to help with dessert.

Arvid blew her a kiss, showing her the view from the plane window.

“You’re being pouty,” she teased.

“Which seat were you sitting in?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.

She didn’t answer, trying to stifle a laugh, knowing exactly whose seat she had taken at the table.

“My seat? Are you serious?”

“I love you,” she laughed, as a flight attendant told him to switch his phone to airplane mode.

“When I catch you…”

And so the plane took off from a Spain that had brought Arvid so much joy, heading toward an Italy he loved.

Meanwhile, she spent time with his family, falling for the place he’d always called home. They just needed to hold on a little longer. Then they’d go back to being the paddock’s weirdest but sweetest couple—though she might not survive the fight for his seat at the table.

OC Questionnaire

I was tagged by @stargazer-sims, @drawing-way-outside-the-lines, @bool-prop, and @happy-lemon. Hehehehehe now I get to do more than one! 😈

Aiden Ayy 👽

Name: Aiden Ayy

Nickname: He was definitely that kid who tried to nickname himself and then got frustrated when nothing stuck. Despite his best childhood efforts, Aiden has no nicknames. 😭

Gender: Male

Star sign: Gemini ♊

Height: 5'8"

Orientation: Pansexual

Nationality/Ethnicity: 100% Sixamite

Favorite Fruit: On Earth, pineapple. On Sixam, grarglefroot. It's basically a pineapple except blue.

Favorite Season: Spring.

Favorite Flower: I think I answered this before in a different post with some wild ass flower that looks like it belongs on an alien planet which is great worldbuilding and all but I literally forgot what it was so let's go with basic bitch roses. 😅

Favorite Scent: Cinnamon.

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Aiden is up for any of these as long as they're spiked. He hasn't yet learned that not everyone does that all the time and that it makes you look like you have a problem if you do.

Average Hours of Sleep: Aiden doesn't actually need sleep! He meditates to restore his brain power but sleep isn't necessary for him. He's a lot like D&D elves in that way. He can choose to sleep if he wants to, though, because dreams are fun and he looks cute when he's eepy. 🥺

Dogs or Cats: Yes. Any animal at all, really. Aiden is fascinated with them.

Dream Trip: Sixam. Poor baby wants to go home. 😭

Number of Blankets: "I'm worried what you just heard was 'give me a lot of blankets'. What I said was 'give me all the blankets you have.' Do you understand?"

Random Fact: Aiden is based on a Sim I created in the Sims 2 when I was 18 for a Bachelorette Challenge. It was, predictably, a disaster, and the poor baby kept having mental breakdowns. I decided it was because he was new to Earth and the stress of all the unfamiliarity wore heavily on him, but it was definitely because I didn't know how to cheat needs at the time. He got a visit from the invisible psychiatrist more than once, you know? It became a character trait! Aiden, the nervous alien who just wants love. 👽💚

Roman Gallan 🧜‍♂️

Name: Roman Gallan

Nickname: "Hey Asshole". Guess who gave him that one. Go on, guess. (It was his little sister)

Gender: Male

Star sign: Leo ♌

Height: 5'11"

Orientation: Gay

Nationality/Ethnicity: Icthyan

Favorite Fruit: He's super fond of this obscure Earth fruit called a "lemon". He eats them whole, peel and all. Somebody please teach him not to do this. 😐

Favorite Season: Summer

Favorite Flower: Any and all wildflowers.

Favorite Scent: Cedar. Beating the moth accusations for sure.

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Coffee. He likes it bitter and strong enough to crawl out of the cup under its own power.

Average Hours of Sleep: 5 or 6. He should probably sleep more but it's kind of hard when the distorted whispers of the primordial god that created your planet are emanating from your eye sockets. Most Icthyans learn to accept it as kind of a cursed ASMR, but Roman tends to sleep light anyway.

Dogs or Cats: Cats.

Dream Trip: It says here in my notes that he's always wanted to visit Uranu--ROMAN, SERIOUSLY?!

Number of Blankets: Roman's a hot sleeper, so no blankets for him, thanks.

Random Fact: Like all Icthyans, Roman is amphibious. He has lungs and can breathe on dry land like any Earth Sim, but he's also able to breathe underwater for an extended period of time.

I think everybody and their dog has done this one by now considering ol' Professional Crastinator Laura's stellar time management skills. 🙄 Let's throw a few names out, though. @miss-may-i, @treason-and-plot, @llamabees, @bellakenobi, @kimmiessimmies, @rebelangelsims, @moyokeansimblr, @id-element0. As always, ignore if you've already done it or just don't want to.

[plutos134340]

hiii pluto :3 you wanna tell me about ur ocs sooo bad /nf (also is calling you pluto ok ?)

Ooooooh i feel like i wanna tell u about them soooo badly (and yes im ok with being called pluto, it technically isnt my name- that which is natalie, but i am chill with pluto as well)

Long text under the paragraph bc i dont feel like subjecting the random viewer to a long post:

Ok so some background for the way my aus work: i suck at making my own characters, but i can like give traits and personalities to existing characters that dont have much in canon, or just replacing a pre-existing characters personality, so thats what i do time and time again. Then i make random characters for funsies

First au concept and darias place in it: So basically i had made some cliche fnaf au where like none of the kids ever died- ig i wanted some happiness in life. And i then made Daria to go along with them and she was Henry's kid and an older sister to Charlie. They also had another younger brother but he is irrelevant. She is best friends with michael afton, and was also closest to fritz and jeremy (foxy and bonnie) She is like a random oc but does has a lot of my traits bc i found it easier to cope with myself through a character with fake friendships rather than actually think about myself and the people i know.

Traits (physical and personality-wise): She is white and has pale-ish skin, and shes got shoulder-length, curly, brown hair (like 2C); she is white, and she is pretty tall. She has hazel eyes (the green and brown being separate kind of hazel because i have that eye color and i like my eyes 💀). Shes queer, specifically being bisexual and ace-spec, and is a cis girl. She is pretty down-to-earth, and is mostly a realist. One thing that has stayed true throughout her many forms is that she often forms intimate relationships with people quickly but can end up starting fights with the same people quickly. Idk where that came from but thats her.

😰😰😰😰😰😰

😰😰😰😰😰😰

And now the second au and all that jazz. I know you dont know much at all about cccc but basically there are these characters Heart, Mind and Soul, who are all technically personified parts of the singer's (chonny jash) brain. In this au they are all human and like half related to their original identities. They go by the names Juno, Keene and Atlas, respectively, with the collection of their names just coming from random sources in the songs (juno and atlas) and then i just picked a random name i saw for the last bc i didnt want to pick two similar names (it would have been Apollo if i did). Bc i love music oh so much, they are all basically in a band. I loooove cliche little tropes it just soothes my mind ig, idc how basic it is and its also just easier for me to imagine. Anywho, this brings Max and Lily into the picture, along with another girl i forgot originally bc i forgot that i created her (that being Terra). Terra is the creator of this band, and Max and Lily originally come from their school's regular band.

Max: He is mixed white/southeast asian, and has tan, freckled skin and short black hair. He is around 5'11. He has a pretty chill and kind personality, and can come off either quiet or loud/intense depending on where he is. He often pokes fun at people but never really crosses the line. In their little band he plays most woodwind instruments, mainly the saxophone. He is bisexual and a cis guy.

Lily (full name being Liliana): She is a Latina and is 5'2. She has long, wavy, black hair, tan skin, and dark brown eyes. She is very sweet and is very in-tune with her own and others' emotions, just overall very emotionally intelligent. She can be the life of the party and lively, but is often the first person to realize if someone else is having a bad time, but also wont jeopardize her own mental health in sake of someone else's just to please them. As said before she came from a general concert band before, and plays the trumpet and the flute mainly. She is straight and cis, but doesnt really put too much thought into her identity anyways.

Terra, who i somehow forgot when answering the ask: She is 5'11 as well, and is a Black woman. She has curly hair, which she keeps at around chin length, and it is black with dyed brown highlights. She was originally more reserved than the others, but has opened up to all of the group members and is pretty talkative. As mentioned before, she is the creator of this little band, and plays the drums. She is a trans girl.

Ok so yeah those are them. I kinda just picked a few categories (that being how they look and basic identity things, some personality stuff, and any sexual or gender orientations) to talk about for each and i hope i stuck to that setup well enough. The other three from the second one are like technically not ocs but i like hijacked their actual personalities and gave them new ones but i did not talk about them bc i do not need to ramble THAT much.

‧₊˚ daydreaming | 성훈

p: popular!Sunghoon x shy!fem reader g: classmates to lovers, fluff

warnings! kinda slowburn? Also reader loves chem (sorry not sorry y'all LMAO), long writing!

a/n: based off the song Daydreaming by Ariana Grande<3 last post before indefinite hiatus..

The first day I arrived to school, my attention was caught by a pretty boy of dark black hair and a face perfectly painted by multiple moles in different areas of, not only his face but, his body too. I could never talk to him, he was hella popular and I don't think he'd like to talk to someone like me, a random girl who came this year.

I wasn't completely lonely, I had a friend named Mi-Ju, she told me a bit more about Sunghoon. Things like he had a younger sister, he used to be an ice skater and a lot more things that just made me admire and feel more interested in him.

"You're going to create a hole in his back if you continue staring at him like that" I heard Mi-Ju say and I just rolled my eyes, I was looking at Sunghoon from our table at lunch with my chin on top of my hand "It's not like that..." I said and looked away from him after 5 minutes of staring at him to start eating "Have you heard about the History project?" "History project?! What?!" I looked at Mi-Ju, almost as if something tragic had happened "Yeah... Mrs Kim told us about it last class, we don't have to bring anything she just told us about it to... I don't know, be ready?" She said and I let out a sigh, feeling less worried about it "The thing is that it's in pairs but we won't be able to choose our partners... She'll choose them" "Really? Mrs Kim is always like that... it's no fun literally..." I said and went back to eating before going to our history class.

"Okay class, I'll start naming your partners for this project. When I finish naming all of you, then you can see how you'll organize to do this" the teacher said and everyone stayed silent "So, the pairs will be Areum and Haerin" "Yeonhan and Mi-Ju" "Sunghoon and ___" "Jeonmi and..." wait... I was paired with Sunghoon?! I turned around to look at Mi-Ju but instead of finding her eyes, I found Sunghoon's which were already looking at me beforehand "Alright, those are the pairings for this project. Good luck and remember to bring it in two weeks".

I sighed nervously as I stood up and walked to Sunghoon's desk, thinking on how I was going to deal with him and having to talk to him for two weeks, was this good or bad? "Hey Sunghoon..." I said and swallowed nervously, looking at him before looking to the ground "Hey.. ___" I heard him say and I didn't know what else to say "Do you wanna sit down?" Sunghoon asked me and I nodded, sitting next to him feeling pretty awkward. "So... how do we start this project?" He asked as he looked through his notebook "Uhm I think the teacher said that we should choose a chapter from the book and make a poster about it and the main topics" I said as I grabbed my history book and started to flip through the pages "Do you have any chapter in mind? Also, sorry. Today I forgot my history book so if you don't mind, can we share your book?" "Oh? Yeah no problem about that. Honestly I have one chapter in mind but we can decide which one together, does that sound right?" I asked softly, not believing the way I started to talk to him so normally and confidently "Yeah I'm okay with that" Sunghoon said and we started the project.

"How's it going with Sunghoon?" Mi-Ju asked me, nudging my shoulder playfully before we sat down for lunch. It has been a week since the history project started and my little conversations with Sunghoon, about the project, started too. "What do you mean? It's going good, we're always working on the project so..." I said smiling as I started to eat. I was talking to Mi-Ju when I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around I couldn't believe that Sunghoon was there looking at me "Yes?" I mumbled softly "Uhm... Would you like to.. meet me after school to grab something?" He asked me and I was speechless "To continue the project! Yeah..." Sunghoon added and I chuckled as he sounded nervous, something new for me to see "Sure" I said smiling at him before he walked away.

"What was that?!" Mi-Ju asked and I giggled to myself, burying my face in my arms "I don't know but I'm so happy right now" "Yeah of course you are, your crush asked you out after school.." Mi-Ju said as she ate her lunch "He didn't ask me out! He said it was to finish the project!" I said, looking over at her before she eyed me "You know very well that it's more like a date rather a study session or whatever... He even said it himself but added the project part to sound more subtle" "Whatever.." I said and looked down at my food, smiling to myself.

"Why did I say that?! Oh my god I'm so dumb" Sunghoon said and bumped his head on the table as Jake patted his shoulder "It wasn't that bad by the way you say you did it... a study session? It's not that bad" Jungwon said, eating his lunch as he looked over at Sunghoon "I could've just gone and asked her on a proper date instead of a "study session"! I don't know why I was so nervous..." Sunghoon groaned "Maybe because you like her?" Ni-ki butted in, playing some games in his phone while he listened to Sunghoon's rambling "I don't-" "Yes you do, Sunghoon" everyone in the table said in unison, glancing at him before he bumped his head on the table again.

Sitting down next to Sunghoon in one of the cafe's table I started to take out all my books and things we were going to need to complete the project "Did you bring your book today?" I asked Sunghoon jokingly as I looked over at him "Yeah I did..." he said before chuckling lightly, cute.

"Let me walk you home, ___" I heard Sunghoon say as we walked out from the café after finishing the history project, a week before the day we had to hand it in "What?" I couldn't believe my ears in that moment "Yeah... Would you be comfortable with me walking you home?" He asked again and I smiled softly, nodding at his words "Yes..". We were walking together when suddenly little drops started to fall, slowly turning into a light rain "Oh.." I said as we realized it had started to rain "It's okay, I have an umbrella in my backpack" I said before taking out a small umbrella, it was more likely to be an individual umbrella due to the size but Sunghoon didn't mind about that as we shared it. It was awkward, definitely. But gladly my apartment wasn't far away from where we were and minutes after we arrived there "Thank you for walking me home, Sunghoon" I said smiling at him "No problem" he said and he was about to walk away under the rain when I stopped him, grabbing his arm softly "You can have my umbrella, I can't let you walk home under the rain" "Really?" "Yeah" I said chuckling "How can I repay you?" Sunghoon asked me and I shrugged, smiling "Giving it back?" I said and we both laughed "I don't know, but don't worry. Make sure to arrive safely and then we'll talk about that" I said and Sunghoon nodded, he waved before he started to walk away with my umbrella.

"And so I gave it to him!" I told Mi-Ju as we were on a phone call "Oh my god, I swear you're making smoother moves than him!" She said and I laughed "It's okay, I don't think he even likes me" I said and laid down on my bed, talking to Mi-Ju for a while more.

The next day I was in my locker when I saw my umbrella with a note and candies beside it, how did it end up inside my locker? I don't remember giving Sunghoon my locker keys. I grabbed the note and read it, smiling to myself as I grabbed the umbrella and put it inside my backpack again. I noticed that the candies were also one of my favorites, how did he know? Maybe it was a consequence and I was just overthinking about it, but how did he manage to put the umbrella and the candies inside my locker?

"Did you pass the chemistry exam?" Mi-Ju was talking with Ni-ki when I walked to her, she smiled and introduced Ni-ki to me as one of Sunghoon's friend "No I didn't" Ni-ki said, chuckling to himself "But the subject is so boring!" He added and I gasped, as a person who loved chemistry "What? Chemistry? Boring? Oh my god-" I said and Mi-Ju only laughed as I argued with Ni-ki. "Ni-ki? ___? What are you doing here?" A voice asked and Mi-Ju gasped "You forgot about me!" "Oh yeah sorry" I looked up and saw Sunghoon, it was weird to see him talk to Mi-Ju so confidently? "Hey" I said and Sunghoon turned to me, smiling "What were you talking about?" He asked again and Ni-ki told him about how he failed his chemistry exam. "___?" Sunghoon asked quietly and I looked at him, Mi-Ju and Ni-ki were busy arguing about something else so they weren't paying attention "Yeah?" I replied simply, waiting for him to talk "Would you like to go out after school to discuss about the project?" He asked me and I almost bursted out laughing, but I got the idea of his suggestion "Okay... even if we already finished the project?" I asked smiling playfully at him as he chuckled to himself, nodding "Yeah, even if we already finished it".

And that's how it was the last week before handing in the project. Sunghoon would ask me to go out after school to talk about the project, when we just went out to eat or walk around. It was sweet, indeed, but it left me confused. Did he want something else with me? If not then why was he doing this?

"Sunghoon?" I asked softly, as we walked together back to my apartment after spending another afternoon together "Yeah?" He replied "Why are you doing this?" "Asking you out after school?" And I was surprised by the way he already knew the point of my question "Yes.." I waited for his reply, but instead heard him chuckle "Because I like you" "What?" I asked again, not believing what he had said. We stopped walking and stood looking at each other "I like you, ___" Sunghoon said, looking down "But I didn't know a better way of asking you out apart from saying it was to study.." he said and I chuckled softly, I looked up at him "I like you too, Sunghoon... I've liked you for a long time" I admitted and he sighed before grabbing my hand "I'm sorry for making you wait" "It's okay, we're ending up together anyways?" I chuckled and he nodded, bringing me closer "We are" Sunghoon said and brought his hand to hold my cheek before connecting our lips together in a soft kiss.

[aphfanficwriters]

Every month we will pose a question and collate responses as a fun and informal little exercise in getting to know each other and spark discussion.

For Hetalia's 18th anniversary, we asked our writers:

“How did you first get into Hetalia?”

Beetroot / @council-of-beetroot: People had recommended it to me prior since I'm a geography nerd but I heard it was offensive. At one point I read a fanfic about Hetalia Lithuania and that piqued my interest. But then like six months, around March of 2022, later I recalled my sister talking about a funny scene from Hetalia. So I decided to look up Hetalia out of context on YouTube. I decided nothing could be more offensive than I was at 13 so I watched that and then knew I had to watch the show. I watched the show in a weekend. It was particularly funny to watch at the time because my best friends that year in highs were foreign exchange students from Germany and Japan. Anyway here I am now.

Angel / @billowingangel: I got into Hetalia around 2015 by reading x Reader fanfiction and I stumbled upon a Germany x Reader on DeviantArt and then I went down a rabbit hole of the Hetalia countries x readers. The x reader fanfiction comforted me immensely as I was struggling greatly at the time and that was probably the worst time of my life. Then I found other Hetalia fanfiction and fanart, and I then watched some of the episodes on YouTube. Since then Hetalia has been something of great comfort and nostalgia to me. Hetalia honestly means so much to me and there's been so many lovely people in this fandom that I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with 💗

Didi / @teaedon: Searched my country on deviantart, found Hetalia OCs comics. Watched the anime when it had just 1 or 2 seasons out (both 2009), and began to keep up with blog and page translations on Livejournal (did I understand English at the time? Barely lmao). Then jumped from Livejournal to Tumblr but because a funny-unrelated-to-Heta blog, but soon more than later I started following Hetalia blogs... Made my sideblog in 2015; I should have done that sooner, it's around that time that my actual main fandom was another for a while. Even with the manga hiatus ending in 2021 (also new anime season), I only fully returned in 2022. No fics until... 2023, omg (the deleted ff.net one from when I was in school doesn't count).

Tama / @delgumofics: Back in 2012 my sister suggested I check it out, said it was funny. I watched ep1 subbed and by the end I had a glassy look in my eyes, shut it off, and promptly forgot about it. Later on it was on Netflix so I gave the dub a shot and died laughing. I binged the whole original run in a couple days then started looking at fics.

Eru / @eruverse: I first learned of Hetalia around well 10 years ago, but couldn’t get properly into it. I alrd liked Vanya but that was that [...] I properly got into Hetalia after they released Indonesia, so it was just around 2021. Was immediately thrown into Netherlands/Indonesia, the beloved ship of Indonesian fandom, creating fanarts for them and brainrotting with other Indonesian fans. Good times! Ah, NLID… other Indonesia ships would simply not compare to the weight of history, emotional baggage, and all kinds of other baggage of this one ship. You should check it out, and being Indonesian I have the front seat for accessing juicy historical materials. Nobody in the fandom knows the special side of Netherlands that Indonesians do.

@folightening: Bought and watched the first season a long time ago, I think it was out of curiosity. I remember people talking about it at school and I recognized the name at the store so I got the first season to check out. Didn't do anything more with it until ~2 years ago I think? Watched it again on a whim, bought the series in a collection set, found where I could read it, got my writer's block shattered, and the rest is history.

Yukihitomi / @arthurhonda: This is actually a funny story. So it was back in 2011, and my friend recommended it to me because I like history and was a history kid. It also had nekotalia, and I love cats. Combine the two, and it was a good recomendation. Ironically, she said "don't get into the fandom." Clearly, I didn't listen.

Ash / Lutz: A friend told me the anime was really funny so we watched a few episodes of it when we were in high school. I was hooked and almost immediately started googling amecan fanart lmao

Prush / @proosh: I can't remember exactly but I think my discovery of it was connected to the old DeviantArt series Scandinavia and the World? But it was around 2011, I'm pretty sure, and I got into it via the dubbed parts uploaded to Youtube. It activated me like a sleeper agent, having already had an early interest in history, and I've been trapped in here ever since.

Lacy: I randomly found the series while I was reading some news. (Think it was back in 2013-14). Sort of got very obsessed with it and was joining groups left and right, bought fktons of merch for a lot of characters. (i just love them all crazy at that point of time) One of the groups i was in decided to hold some event and thats where i wrote my first fic. Then theres so much stupid drama i just withdrew eventually and kept to myself with just one ship. (At this point there was this one person who was writing with me). Then came the time when she left as well, so I did question at that point if i still want to stay in this fandom alone (and i did, because i just want to finish up my wips 🫠).

Mossman / @one-more-mossman: I don't remember exactly how I did get into Hetalia , but I checked out the date of my first Hetalia pfp and it's December of 2012. I remember being super into Ivan and putting him on all my pfps and telling my friends about him and being all mushy and stupid. I had pretty limited access to the internet at that time, and didn't speak any English, so I wasn't a part of the Hetalia fandom - neither the English speaking nor Russian. So I didn't know he was an unstoppable rape truck y'know. I was drawing him and just silently vibing with him. I got into the actual fandom about three years ago - was a lurker first, not interacting aside from leaving kudos/comments, then got into fic writing (for English speaking fandom, I thought it was more lively than the Russian one). Found wonderful people here. Happy to be here, glad to have people sharing my interests. (Notice there is not a single mention of liking history. I don't like it. I can't remember a single fact.)

WhiteWings / @smuttyandabsurd: Gosh everyone started so much later than me... Anyway back in 2007, my sister forwarded a random USUK fanart to me on deviantArt simply because "it's BL and you might like it." I binged the first season of the anime and was tickled enough to keep watching as further seasons came out. I was already casually interested in history - it was my second favourite school subject behind English lit - but after Hetalia? Yeah I was reading the densest modern history nonfictions around, hovering in the military history section of the library among random middle-aged men, and writing rapetruck smutfics with a ~historical~ flavour. Anyway, 17 years later, everything from the way I consume Hetalia and tangentially-related topics to my writing has had a dramatic evolution from my humble weeb-y beginnings, but I'm still in this dang ass fandom and I can't find the exit.

Sicily: I was into countryhumans and I came across it, and was like, pft I'm never going to like hetalia.., and now we are here

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

“I was so absorbed in things I couldn’t change, I forgot about the most important thing.”

I read this in Sylhet and I forgot to take a highlighter for this one, I guess. I couldn’t highlight any of the lines that resonated with me or any that I found to be very cool. Which is pretty odd since I will go as far as stop reading if I don’t have a highlighter to highlight an amazing line. Who knows what I did in Sylhet except drown in my thoughts and drown in the flood.

There’s not much to say about this book except that I read the sequel to this one first and I’m glad the writer keeps finding more creative and fun situations for the characters to be in. That’s what fiction is all about I guess. Create some characters and put them in situations and see how they react. That’s how life is too I suppose. Find yourself in situations, react, and repeat until you’ve found a better version of yourself that you can be at peace with.

“If you could go back in time, who would you meet?” I really love this question. It’s right at the start of the book, and it makes you wonder. I’ll just answer it. I’ll go back in time and meet my friend named Hamim. He was my best friend from playgroup to class 2 and I still think about how he is doing. I’ve found most of my friends from my childhood school yet I couldn’t find a glimpse of him no matter how hard I looked. I hope you’re doing well, Hamim. Are you still fat? I miss walking and chatting with our arms on each other’s shoulders. I miss you, man. Hope you’re doing well.

This book is a really good introductory step for our main characters. I loved the short stories with different characters. The first chapter, ‘The Lovers’, was a bit underwhelming in my opinion and I don’t find it to be a good opener for a book like this. But that’s only because I read the sequel first and a lot of people might disagree, those who understand order. The second chapter, ‘Husband and Wife’, is probably my favorite of the book. It’s simply such a heavy subject matter. Dementia is crazy scary and I can’t imagine forgetting the people I love. Even though life gets hazy and you forget people you once would give the world for- there’s always that one corner in your mind that remembers them. It’s like losing that corner. The very corners that are like the pillars of the foundation your mind has made over the years. It’s basically losing yourself. And how dreadful must it be to witness your loved ones go through that. Imagine your mother forgot you

The third chapter on the other hand felt very personal. It was a story about two sisters, one running away to live her life and the other chasing after her, also her dream. Is freedom really in running away? Or maybe it’s in facing what you are running away. You go against the tide known as fear and uncertainty and you choose things for yourself. How beautiful is that? Yeah it hit home because I have a brother of my own. I can never understand him and vice versa. But I think if we did something together, we’d get along despite our differences and maybe he’s always just one car crash away. Anyways, good chapter. Memorable.

‘Mother and Child’ was spoiled for me simply because I read the sequel first. There’s this one part of the book where someone from the future, a teenage girl, is found sitting on the time travel chair. And I could just tell it was Miki. I think that ruined so much of the anticipation and the hope and the beauty of that moment. I can’t imagine how significant this moment would be for me if I had just read the book in order. But as the start of this review or whatever goes, can’t focus on things I can’t change.

If you couldn’t change the present, would you still travel back to it? Would you? I know I wouldn’t. Probably because nostalgia is a double-edged sword, and wallowing in my sorrows makes me an uncivilized human being. I don’t want to live in that state, but I believe my answer would change along with some time. I’ll let myself marinade for the time being.

It’s been so long since I’ve actually written something. Honestly, I enjoy writing. I’m just living an unhealthy life and let’s just say my country isn’t in the best state either. I always use these books to talk about my thoughts and how I’m doing. That’s a little bit self-centered and I think that’s okay. It’ll be a while before I read the next release, I just have so many amazing books to finish. But yeah, I think it’s an amazing read-through-your-journey book. A great travelling companion because I read half of it in a train on my way to Sylhet. A solid 6.5/10. I enjoyed the sequel too, and I think the book will keep getting better over time. I’d like to see how it ends, because the main characters of the book constantly evolve.

Books are amazing. Also, I’m re-reading Oyasumi Punpun. Anticipate a long post for it. Or not, it’ll just be my thoughts.

Thank you.

The Jungle - 10th Episode Review

We are in episode 10 and I had just as much fun today as I had yesterday.

So we first get again this little spinet of wildlife documentary where we learn that flamingos are a symbol of love because they are honest, loyal and faithful with their mate. Wow it's not very promising for you Florence because you are the flamingo of this series. It's going to be hard to make Nathee become your mate. Back to Pine who almost saw Hack with Irin but Hunter came to save the day. He had to clean the restroom. What is this excuse?! Hack and Irin of course stop kissing when they hear them talking. She leaves first and Hunter saw her. She gives him bullshit excuse to explain why she is here but that’s not necessary because he knows the truth! Hunter is the master of this place so nothing gets past him. Hack is not happy because of his meddling. Again Hunter is being the therapist of everyone here.

In the next scene we are at Nathee’s workplace and he is still sleeping. If he was going less to the RV and sleeps more maybe he wouldn’t need have a nap! Florence don't understand him and we neither can. So we also learn that she does really work in this company. She is not only the daughter of the owner. Cool! She create an excuse for Nathee to talk to her at work. He is an IT support worker at the company. She is not subtle checking him out while he has to repair her computer. She is also aggressively flirting with him. Long stares and everything. He definitely knows what she wants. Omg she thought he would do what? He is just going to plug her computer back. Sis you're dreaming! She must get laid quickly xD. I really like her character. She is confident and knows what she wants. It is refreshing.

Irin is with her sister. I forgot that HHack's real name is Tul. I'll keep calling him Hack because it's easier. Well, Baby Sister has a meeting with him. Remember he was her law professor. Why is Irin telling her sister to avoid Hack? He wouldn't be stupid enough to flirt with his students. That would be a very dumb move for any person who is teaching. He may be a playboy but he is supposed to know what to do. Plus he clearly said he wanted Irin... Not her sister. Irin doesn't know what she wants. Take some notes from your friend Florence.

At the next scene we are in the RV where Florence is talking to Irin and Hunter, complaining that Hunter/Nathee is being picky and not seduced by her. Poor Florence she can’t get him. Again we learn that he hates rich people. We knew that already. Why should she be punished for being born rich? She is also working. When Irin asks her why she wants him so badly we get a new flashback from her schooldays. One thing I noticed is that the teachers are so mean to them for no reasons. Florence arrived late in class and the teacher shamed her in front of everyone. This is really crazy because they are teenagers. What the teacher is doing is just going to create insecurities. So because she has a driver she can't be late? This is dumb reasoning. They may get piano lessons in this universe at school but the teachers don't learn to be empathetic. Sorry it really annoys me. Florence has period cramps and that's why she was late. The teacher is a woman she should know better (and even if it was a man, he should know too). In addition, she forgot her book. Nathee saw everything and gave her his, preventing her from another humiliation and basically it explains why she felt for him. However, now she just wanst him for sex. She explains that she had a crush on him and that it should make the sex better. Irin says she could love him more after and she is not wrong but I’m not sure Florence really thought about that. Hunter, still being here, gives her the magic drink again. I don’t know why he calls it this way, does it have aphrodisiac in it? At the same time, Nathee is punishing a bad guy again and Florence is loving it. She really has it hard for him.

She goes to find him and he still rejects her. She is so extra. She wanted several nights with him at first but she is willing to settle for just one night. This girl is so funny! I love her. He has trouble following her because he wasn't expecting that. While they are talking the bad guy is trying to escape. Hunter weren't you next to him two minutes ago? Where did you go? Nathee really doesn't want to be with her. The bad guy escapes and runs after Florence but she is not another damsel in distress and she saved herself. She has moves. She knows how to defend herself. My favorite girl among all the group. Yes I'm raving about her but truly I love this actress and her character. She is just disappointed that she ruined her skirt by saving herself Nathee asks her how she could do what she did and it’s because she did some judo. She really wants him. She is so funny. They should have introduced her before because she makes the show much more entertaining. Hunter is also having fun in the back watching them. We learn that Nathee’s mom died of cancer and of course our sweet girl is compassionate. They have a deep conversation about money and goals in life but he rejects her ideas just because she has money. She is so much better than him... He clearly doesn't deserve her. She tries again to have a one night with him but faced another rejection before he leave.

In the next scene we find again Irin’s baby sister still crushing after her teacher... Basically her sister’ lover too. Don't fancy your teacher! Seriously it's not worth it. He helps her after she strained her ankle and of course Irin caught them at this moment. It’s goind to be a repeated action trhough this episode. Irin and Hack have their misunderstanding number 10000 and they even get Naam as a witness their umpteenth argument. Hack is disappointed about her reaction and the sister saw them. The sisters are in Irin’s car and they are talking about Hack. Irin wants to prevent them to get closer but I think it’s a lost cause.

We leave them to find the Jungle again with only Nathee, Phethai, Naanfah and Hack. Naannam is not here because he is with his girlfriend and Pine is again nowhere to be found. Hack complains about those with girlfriend but it only shows that he is freaking jealous. He would also prefer to be with a girlfriend. Stop pretending you don't! Nathee suddenly stops walking and everyone can see that Florence is sitting at their place. This girl! She is so proactive. He is so down with her. At the same time Naannam saw a girl trying to come in and It's Irin's baby sister. I already can’t stand her anymore. She is getting on my nerves. But anyway we don’t care about those two because we get back to poor Florence. She chose the only one who doesn't want her. She introduce herself to the rest of the group. Everyone feels the tension between her and Nathee. My baby Naanfah is the only one who tries something. They all suggests to play a game. Hack propose a strip bottle game but Nathee is not ready for that. They finally settle for Truth of dare which is not better. Florence is bold. The bottle stops in front of Nathee and she doesn't shy away and asks him what she has to do to have him. Naanfah tries again to help but it's not working with Florence. Since Nathee refuse to answer she asks him to take one piece of his clothes off. Again Naanfah has the best reaction. Nathee takes off his jacket and again she stares hungrily at him.

Can we skip all the scenes between Irin and any character who is not Florence? Because they are so boring. Even Pladao and her idiocy wasn't boring me that much. Pine came to see her and she thought at first that it was Hack. The atmosphere is always so depressing when these two are in the same room. I read somewhere on Tumblr that Off played the boyfriend with all the actresses who are in this series in others shows. I found that funny. Sigh! Their conversation is so boring. They don't even feel like good friends. Girl need a real therapist. Go find Hunter he is doing it as a side job. Back to the funny place where Nathee is losing most of his clothes because the bottle lands on him all the time and he apparently gets the same dare each time. The others have fun. This time, the bottle lands on Florence and she chose to get a dare. Hack dares her to kiss Nathee for one min. It's not a dare! She freaking loves this idea. Nathee is not really thrilled. But… What happened Why did she faint? It was just starting to get interesting. This show never delivers. The boys are panicking. Hack received a text message to go to the jungle room and Irin is there waiting for him. She is drunk and wants to have sex with him but he doesn't want. She hasn't forgotten Pine and wants him to help her. Babt sister witnesses them with Naannam. How to break the heart of two people, a book written by Irin.

In the next scene Florence is at work not feeling well but she received a ginger tea from Nathee. Sweet! He arrives at the meeting and they just exchange glances instead of working. Florence is trying to defend the IT idea in front of her father. Nathee is flirting with her in front of her father, isn’t it? Am I imagining things? Florence’s father is stupid enough not to invest in something reasonable and Nathee is disappointed because Florence hasn't pushed more the idea. Again the father is treating her daughter like a child. This man can't be successful at business with this mentality. He is still pushing his daughter to go to his matchmaking meeting. By the way, Nathee and Florence are really flirting.

We also get a small scene between Irin and her baby sister when where she just gives her the cold shoulder. No one care so back to the real couple of this episode. Nathee and Florence are talking again. She explains she can't choose what she wants and she understands in some ways that her father acts this way because he loves her. His love is a bit toxic if you ask me. Nathee asks her why did she go to RV and she answers that she wants new experiences. Nathee thinks she is not happy with her current life. He gave her the password for tonight but she said she can't come. He is a bit manipulative with her because she explains her reasons for not coming but he knows she also wants him. I have one question, why is Naam helping the little sister? Don't you have a girlfriend to take care of? He is becomming the most annoying between the twins. I called him Nice Naam before but I totally changed my mind. His new name is Annoying Naam now. At least he doesn"t support her idea. He just opens the door for her.

Florence is getting bored at her date. She is not into this guy. Why can't he sees it? Besides he is a parasite of the society who thinks money solve everything. Clearly he is not meant for her. The father can't choose them. He should give up. She leaves to go to the RV. Hack sees the little sister and he is shocked. Coincidence, my foot. You knew! Okay baby sister is rebelling because she wants to bang her teacher. He doesn't want you! Hack is clearly uncomfortable. Obviously there would be no drama if Irin didn’t come. It is going to be crazy. She thinks Hack has booked the room for her and him but he is already in it with Baby sister who wants to get a piece of him. Even though he is not interested, she doesn't give a shit. Baby sister is dumb! He said no! Don't you understand the concept of consent? Of course Irin sees them and she is clearly annoyed. She doesn't listen to Hack because yes she has a bad opinion of him and prefers to imagine the worst instead of listening to him. At the bar, Naannam and Nathee are talking about Irin and Hack because they both know but they don't reveal their names and Phethai is between them clearly not following. Florence also is here and wants the room to have a sexy time with Nathee.

In another place in the bar, Baby sister and Irin have a fight about Hack. Baby sister is clearly the jealous one but is trying to manipulate Irin by making her thinks she is the one jealous of her. I don't like Baby sister. Irin is upset and her first answer to everything is slapping the other one. It's her secret signature move. Baby sister is so ungrateful for everything. I can't.

Finally the series end with Hack and Pine on the roof and Hack just reveals to Pine that he slept with Irin. What is going to happen? The answer in the next episode, next week. I saw the preview and I don't understand why Phethai was fighting with Nathee? But on the other hand, Naanam is saying the real truth of this entire series: the Jungle has to much secrets and it’s so weird that they are supposed to be friends! I also feel like Pine is becoming a side character at this point.

[paigemathews]

Is Paige your favourite sister? Your URL made me wonder is all lol

Okay, so full admission, in case anyone hasn't picked up on it yet. @phoebehalliwell almost singlehandedly inspired me into creating a full on Charmed sideblog, and you can absolutely tell bc I 100% based what I was doing on her when I first started. Nowadays, I like to think that I'm being slightly more original but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Part of that was, clearly, the URL bc I looked at the URL box when I was creating the blog and just screeched in unholy panic and doing the most blatant ripoff you've ever seen, complete with b-movie incorrect spelling. (in my defense, the actual spelling was taken!)

but the reason I picked Paige was bc she was definitely my childhood favorite! Admittedly, the reason she was my childhood favorite is bc she was a redhead like me lmao. (look, my first time watching Charmed was when I was an actual child, that was my only requirement for a character to be my favorite.) Nowadays, she probably ties with Prue in regards to my favorite sister!

Admittedly, I'm always a sucker for the untapped potential and Paige has a lot! I'd have to loved to see more storylines focus on her, especially in regards to her past, her powers/heritage, and her forging her path into the magical world.

However, I also just really like her as a character. She's a very creative and compassionate character, and I loved her arc about discovering her inner Whitelighter. She had a very genuine love of magic like Phoebe in the early seasons, but while Pheebs had more of a personal gain thing going on (which I'm not dissing!), Paige had more of that desire to help.

I also liked how Paige, who lost her family and... forgot, for lack of a better term, what it was like to have one, clashed with the sisters initially but also was able to help Piper through her grief over losing Prue and created these relationships with her newfound sisters. I'm also a sucker for how she met Henry, someone who got it in ways that her sisters could never really grasp fully, and they created their own family as well. As rushed as s8 was, I like that Paige's journey on the show was not only joining a family but choosing to invite someone into hers to create another, if that makes sense.

Honestly, I don't really know if I have a super concrete reason for why Paige is my favorite, but just like. the vibes. I definitely named my blog after her bc she was my childhood fave, but I also adore her so I think it works out. She's definitely a fun character to make aesthetics (along with being the next character whenever I get around to my next Warren Witch Project witch) and write for (also known as she's the main character in one of my main four WIPs rn).

Also, redheads still tend to be my favorite characters lmao.

Hazbin Liveblog Episode 6

And here we go! Since Cherri wasn't in the last one she must be in this one. (There was a promo on twitter earlier.)

I forgot Cherri's Australian. Was that a thing in the pilot that I'm just forgetting or is it new? Whoof, poor Angel though.

You know, Charlie, I think your idea of 'fun and relaxation' is a bit different from Cherri's.

"Their rivalry is very important for Pent but he's just Some Guy" to her is funny. Also, he's blushingggg

Ooooo Sera was originally a bird! And Emily looks like she's just sort of a shape...thing?

"You are gifted to be here" and we are starting with this right out the gate, along with how Peter was acting.

Emily and Sera's freckles are adorable.

MOLLY????? LIKE ANGEL'S TWIN SISTER MOLLY????? IN THE BACKGROUND

So the average 'Winner' doesn't know about the exterminations... makes sense, I can't imagine anyone (like, say, Molly) would be happy to know that their loved ones who didn't make it up are at risk of being brutally slaughtered with their afterlives snuffed out instead of just... Living In A Shittier City. If Exterminations are 'entertainment' though, who is that entertainment for? Literally just Adam?

So that's what exterminators look like outside of the actual extermination, huh....... interesting.........

So Adam is outranked by the Seraphim. Makes sense, but good to know he's not the top dog.

HA. FUCKING CALLED ITTTTT.

Deciding to make her named by Adam, the sexist and misogynistic twat is... I can't decide if it's a stupid way to roll with it or fucking hysterical. Get back to me in 3-5 business days. (Does this mean that they're created like machines, if Adam gets to name them? They're not Winners, considering the secret would probably get out if that was the case..)

I wonder how much Heaven will like it if it turned out Adam and Lute are taking judgement of their own into their own hands.

I like the angel designs. They're neat.

Okay, as someone who's had to write Many An Essay and has always disliked the 'dictionary definition' thing, Adam is correct in this one instance. Lame and unoriginal indeed.

Oh god it's gonna show where he is right now and he's gonna be doing something wild with Cherri, isn't he.

Huh. The fact that he's genuinely about to turn it down... even if it doesn't end up that way, it's progress.

Also, Pent giving everybody drinks because Cherri isn't taking it is great.

Charlie growling............. I am, mayhaps, Gay

Charlie, I don't know if this is... the best angle. Honestly, maybe she should have focused on Pent?

Awww, Angel really does care. That's sweet.

TOP FIVE USES OF THE COMEDY RULE OF THREES: I'M HAVING SEX WITH EVERYONE HERE

Oh. Oh no.

I saw somebody saw that Niffty would go after Val as a 'bad boy' and yepppp.

FUCK YEAH, good for Angel! Interesting that the deal specifies that Val owns Angel specifically while he's in the studio, while Alastor's deal seems to tie Husk to him whenever he likes.

Considering Stellaluna likes collecting interesting bits and pieces of targets and other people if she can, she'd absolutely love chatting with Niffty about their respective collections.

Emily seems to be the younger and more empathetic of the two? I wonder what it is that Sera knows that she doesn't though.

OOPS, ADAM.

FUCK YEAH, EMILY.

I wonder if when they cut to Charlie's eyes it showed Vaggie during the extermination itself?

Oh, Emily is absolutely going to try and find a way down there to talk to Charlie- and maybe even talk to Lucifer.

Adam doodled the S on the sheet. Incredible.

For Undertale's eighth anniversary (I know I'm a day late I'm so sorry), I want to know what your experiences are with the game. I'll go first.

Undertale came out when I was 10 years old. I didn't know it existed then, but over the next 2 years, I had heard of it from somewhere. However, I also heard of the fandom and how crazy it was so I avoided Undertale like the plague. It was kind of a trend at the time when lots of people talked about Undertale and memed it to death, and I'm not the type to follow along with trends. Besides, I liked... something else at the time.

When the hype died down, I promptly forgot about the game too, but I still remembered Sans. Who would? He's an icon. That was until around 2020 when my sister was religiously watching these Minecraft music videos of certain fan songs, mostly from Five Nights at Freddy's, Bendy and the Ink Machine... and Undertale. I was interested in the Undertale one. Then I started putting more research into the game, and oh my gosh. I was surprised at how GOOD it was.

I fell in (platonic) love with Papyrus instantly. He was my favourite for a while. Just him. I was obsessed with finding out everything about him. I listened to songs, I looked at fanart and fanfics, I wanted to know EVERYTHING about Papyrus. If it weren't for Papyrus, I wouldn't have gotten into Undertale as much as I am now.

I then wondered why Sans was so popular. I looked into him too, and, I kid you not, I cried when I found out what he was going through. He instantly became another favourite, and for a while, I did the exact same thing for him as I did for Papyrus: obsessively find out everything about him. Hyperfixations are crazy.

Anyway, for a while, I was just watching playthroughs and researching the game. I didn't have it myself. I wanted to save up for it on my own. However, after a very bad day at school, my parents surprised me by downloading Undertale onto my Nintendo Switch. I am forever grateful for that.

During my first playthrough, I finally got to know more characters. I already knew about some of them from the comic dubs I watched on YouTube, but I didn't know all their names. I only knew Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Flowey and Frisk. And then I met the others. The characters are my favourite part of ANYTHING I am interested in, and Undertale is no different. I got attached to all the characters: Undyne, Asgore, Alphys, Mettaton, Napstablook, and the ones I already mentioned. My first playthrough was magical, but it was frustrating at the same time.

Undyne was the hardest for me. I had to RESET because of her because I had no money and no items. And then there was Asgore. Photoshop Flowey was my favourite boss fight, and I loved befriending everyone, especially Undyne. She's really fun.

After I did the True Pacifist Route, I vowed never to reset. However, I... broke that promise. I did another Pacifist Route a few months later, but only because I wanted to fight Photoshop Flowey again. After a few more Pacifists, I stopped for good.

Nowadays, I create my own private stories about what the crew would do on the surface, as well as other AUs and stories I came up with. I still read Undertale comics and look at Undertale-related posts on Tumblr, and despite its flaws, I can see how much the fandom loves the game. I surely do.

Happy anniversary, Undertale. 8 years have flown very fast.

I’ve been tagged by @katastronoot @sheirukitriesfandom and @dirty-bosmer (thank you all! 💖) 

This was sitting in my drafts for a while, just forgot to post...

Not tagging anyone ‘cause idk who hasn’t done it yes... Feel free to take if you feel like!

1. are you named after anyone?

Grandma originally named me after her little sister who died in early childhood. She was babysitting and blamed herself for that accident.

But that was too dull, widespread, and didn’t felt mine, so my nomatophobia started progressing. Finally I renamed myself after Fairytopia Barbie. Best friend started calling me Elina in 2008, when I was pretty much into Barbie movies fandom. It stuck, I started telling everyone it was my actual name, even at work. Then finally changed it legally and never regretted. 

Barbie movies is everything, yeah.

2. when was the last time you cried?

One weekend ago.

3. do you have kids?

Nope, and it’s most probable I won’t. Already in my 30s, didn’t start wanting/regretting yet. I like kids, kids are like flowers, but let them bloom in someone else’s garden. 

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

Not really. Being neurodivergent, I have troubles with a sense of humour in general. Many things feel more offensive than funny to me, and if I try it myself, it might be rather insulting than funny... So only with closer friends, I guess.

5. what sports do you play/have you played?

Drinking games, lol.

Not a fan of sports and competitions. I prefer fitness\wellness, where you don’t have to compete or show off. Never liked team games as well. As a kid, I enjoyed tennis or badminton a bit, but again, just for fun.

I do yoga a bit, would like to excercise more though.

6. what's the first thing you notice about other people?

Style, clothing, hair, accessories. Whether they have some fandom\music\etc merch on. This way I might identify them as the ones like me, the ones worth talking to - at first sight.

I can be generally cautious, even hostile, about people, esp males and elders. And in general, I prefer meeting people online or in some safe spaces / meetups where everyone shares some interests/hobbies/fandoms. It’s easier for me.  

7. eye color?

blue gray. and I do wear color lenses - need them to see things anyway, so why not have fun with colors? Last year I had red ones and wore them casually.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

Happy and clever endings that give you food for thought and make you feel feelings - I’ve been a long time Pixar fan, you know.

There was time I’ve been into mystic horrors, some years ago, but now I’m old and tired even for them. LIfe is a dystopia by itself, I need more kind stuff.

(don’t watch movies much these days, I prefer games).

9. any special talents?

Some say I am outstanding and bold,and that I have great creative potential, and that I inspire some people just by being myself... IDK.

10. where were you born?

a city in the mountains

11. what are your hobbies?

I’m a a self-taught seamstress, I’ve been sewing most of my life (because I always loved creating things myself & from my very childhood wanted some unusual clothes that couldn’t be purchased in regular stores). At times, I took comissions, then were 5 years of cosplaying.

I’m into corsetry (waist-training and making corsets myself).

And drawing, of course.

12. do you have any pets?

Nope. Used to have an aquarium in the past.

13. how tall are you?

5’7″ (170 cm) 

14. fave subject in school?

Biology (just in elem and mid, then it became too complex), english. 

I was also one of the best in literature, but I didn’t like it at all. Just figured out how to get exc grades and did it for the sake of being praised. 

15. dream job?

Illustrator, artist.

Ok, unironialy, could you explain/resume to me the basics of homestuck??? I have NO CLUE what is it even about or even WHAT IT IS and I feel like I should know

Also much love ur like one of my favorite people on tumblr <3 🥺💕💕💗

Dnfnnfs yeah ofc! I’ll try to summarise it as best I can!

And thank you so much!! 🥺 dude I wanna hug you rn much love to you too <3 your presence on my dash is always a delight honestly! <3!!

The short and sweet official summary of it is: A tale of a boy and his friends and a game they play together

But if you would like a more detailed, but still summarised, explanation then look under the cut. But beware for it for it is long.

I haven’t read this webcomic in over a year so bear with me lol (I actually went and read a recap of it and. wow)

! Major Story Spoilers Ahead !

Okay so in as simplest terms I can manage is that four kids play a game that ends their world, but them and their homes are transported inside due to certain conditions that were met. They each get planets and if they die on a certain spot on these planets they become gods (aka ascending to god tier). There’s another race that played this game called trolls that also destroyed their world in order to enter, however only one of them became god tier. The trolls playing the game created the kids’ world (they didn’t do it right tho and that lead to one of the ‘npcs’ doing their own thing and.. ruining the course of the game.)

I forget where it happens but there’s an intermission that is super important. (Although it doesn’t appear to be lol it introduces the big bad and all his associates and whatnot)

A lot of shenanigans. We learn about the trolls, about the game and time shenanigans!! Some of the trolls help the kids, most of the trolls die bc they kill each other (and can’t resurrect bc they aren’t god tier). Key part of the killing is that one of the trolls, Vriska (the one god tier troll), is killed due to almost committing a timeline altering act. She doesn’t resurrect as her death was deemed Just. The only ways you can die permanently when god tier is when it’s deemed either Just (justified) or Heroic (being a hero).

(I’m missing a lot but it’s okay lol)

Anyway as the game is nearing its “end” and due to the trolls fucking up the kids’ session they’re forced to do a hard reset. Using their new god given powers they force this reset and the kids split up to escape their session, one group of two going with the trolls and the other two go off on their own together. This split lasts three years, by the way!

In the mean time due to this reset (or scratch as it’s named) the kids’ universe resets itself and basically…. Is reversed. So, instead of the kids we have their ancestors that are now… kids. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, during the shenanigans earlier one of our kids, John, basically made both him and his friends and his nanna and his friends’ guardians in a lab using shenanigans and sent them back in time so that everything can happen. Yeah. So, in this new session we have a new set of kids which I’ll refer to as the Alpha Kids, whereas our set of kids are the Beta Kids. So, we have the alphas now and we see their journey into the game. It’s to note that these kids can’t become god tier traditionally because of their Dream Selves dying beforehand (a needed self in order to become god tier).

So the alphas enter and are met with a dead game, basically. You could say their game is ‘infertile’ as it doesn’t have the means to create a new universe once it’s done. So it’s unwinnable. There’s nothing the alphas can do but wait. There’s some back and forth, we’re met with a new ‘troll’ and get to know her and her ruthless brother who wants to kill everyone his sister loves and stuff. Fun!

We get to know the betas more on their journey and wow one of them is depressed okay back to the alphas who. are high on sugar. Okay. Through their sugar high they get to their Quest Beds (ones that can grant them godhood without having a dream self but it’s buried deep within their planets (iirc)). So. They die on them and become god tier!

Oh yeah and during this we get to know one of the trolls’ dead ancestors called Meenah who works to build an army of the dead to tackle the big bad (Lord English) in the dream bubbles where those who die (either in this timeline or another) go to as a sort of afterlife.

The three years are up (only 6 months for our alphas) and everyone’s now in the alphas’ game. Jade (one of the betas) brings over everything from the Beta’s game so now the Alpha’s game is fertilised! Yippee! John sleeps and dreams and finds a treasure whilst everyone else uh. Suffers, basically. Once the betas arrived two of the kids (one alpha one beta) get possessed by Betty Crocker (one of the alphas’ mother but she’s an evil troll who can mind control). Jade (beta) and Jane (alpha) are now possessed.

A lot of stuff happens here. Best way I can explain it is that there’s a lot of glitches, death, and bad drawings. John also gains the power to rewrite canon (retcon), if you can believe it. The evil brother plays his game, kills his sis and gains way too much power for his own good. (Remember I might be getting things wrong here). Now, remember Meenah? Well from her group of trolls we have Aranea and she ruins everything. She brings herself back to life using what’s called the life ring and brings everyone to the same planet (except John who’s running from Jade). So. She fucks everything up, gets a lot of people killed (some people dying Justly and Heroically) and basically creates a GAME OVER timeline. Did I mention that when the betas came to the alphas they also brought along their own game’s bad guys? Yeah. Whilst GAME OVER was happening John was out there battling a kid version of the big bad. He teleports back into canon when everything’s already over.

So, now we’re in game over where basically everyone save for some are dead. Terezi, one of the trolls, tells John to fix it bc of his retcon ability. She gives him a list of what to do because of her own game given powers (she’s a Mind player but. yeah I won’t explain that sorry) and John goes and does it, using the keywords she gave him to find those specific points in time to change and fix. This leads to Vriska not dying when she was supposed to. A lot of shenanigans after this, basically everyone who was dead before is okay in this new timeline bc Vriska is here now. Yay? Anyway, they all go through their dramas and stuff, betas mingling with the alphas yada yada they all talk about defeating the bad guys.

Then there’s this whole animation about it!

Anyway that’s Homestuck as best as I can describe it without going into BIG detail. There’s a LOT of stuff I missed, but it’s very overwhelming lol.

TLDR; Kids play game. Time shenanigans. Death and destruction. Godhood. Vriska. Kids play game. Kids play game. Death. Big fight. They create a new universe where they can all live together and whatever have you. :)

I hope that clears SOME things up and if you have any more questions feel free to ask! Or you can read the webcomic but. I wouldn’t read it from the source bc it’s broken. I’ll tell you what to do if you Do want to read it but with over 9000 pages and god knows how many words….. it’s quite the task. But there is games you can play in it! And cool animations!! But some of it.. didn’t age well, let’s say. Anyway if you’re still reading then colour me impressed! I tried to summarise it as best I can but with limited memory and with so much plot it was difficult lol, ik you said the basics but also. Homestuck ain’t basic nfngnrksmnd sorry

Hello I hope you have fun traveling!!

Can you tell me about your first crush?

thank you 😊😊 i hope i do too! it's a work trip but i know and like all the people i'm gonna be traveling with from other universities so it should be good.

i had lots of crushes as a kid. like, too many? so i don't really remember the first one (there was a little boy from my pre-school in mexico and all i remember is being very sad after we moved away)? but i can tell you about my first Serious Crush™ which happened in third grade.

there was a boy in my class named sam and, somehow, in that way little kids do, he and i became Best Friends. i was a v tomboyish kid and i spent a lot of time playing soccer at recess with the boys and when we played boy-girl tag i'd play on the boy's team etc etc. sam was a little troublemaker—definitely the kid who always got sent to the principal's office and got in trouble with the teacher, etc. he gave off major calvin and hobbes vibes.

there's not much to the story—at some point it developed into a crush but we just stayed friends and i never said anything. but i remember he called my house a few times to talk to me back when landlines were still a thing and one time he left a very cute voicemail that my whole family got to tease me about. the summer after third grade my family moved to germany, but before we left my big sister was the lifeguard at his local pool and she told me after the fact one day that he had confessed his little 9 year old undying love for me and begged her to give me his email address so we could keep in touch. i created my v first email account so we could keep in contact but if memory serves she copied the address down wrong or lost the piece of paper bc it didn't work out.

about...oh, 5 or 6 years later xanga was a big thing. and on xanga there were different public groups or communities or what have you that you could join and be a member of. and i remember during 8th grade i just became OBSESSED with reconnecting with him. i knew the local middle school he would have gone to so i started joining xanga groups associated to the school and just. randomly messaging any member who seemed to be my age and asking if they knew him 😅

eventually i totally forgot about it until!! several months later one random girl replied, explained that he moved away but she DID know him and gave me his email or phone number. i reached out, we reconnected, had a couple lengthy phone calls, and now we're just random facebook friends lol

I met a guy while I was still with my ex, in September. Meeting this new guy felt like fate. I was supposed to go on a date with my ex to the movies (convinced he only wanted to go because I had other plans). My sister invited me to a music video shoot and then she shares the song. She sent a love song with an island vibe, it was beautiful! I had to drive about an hour to get there. I arrive at a beautiful mansion and it’s decorated for a wedding. They have a bunch of food and the energy was light and fun. The is a man in a green suit and I feel inexplicably drawn to him. A girl’s has to trust her intuition, right? Turns out, he was the groom for the shoot.

I must admit, I was jealous of the woman playing the bride. She was stereotypically hot and I felt woefully unable to keep up. She and him argued the whole day and I figured they were flirting. Turns out, the name she was calling him was not his name…he may have been for real. 😂 He was sweet about it either way. People were yelling at him to stop throwing his head back during the shoot when he smiled and I don’t think it was landing well. Intuition told me to try and it worked (see, we work well together). I really thought they liked each other. The arguments could have been seen as the “be mean to someone you like” thing. Like, why did I even care? He is not even my normal type.

Somehow I end up outside without my girls and there he is. I believe I asked if I could sit and he kindly obliged (luckily half of the porch could not be used due to filming). We spoke for a few minutes about some things that could, to some, appear to be conspiracy theories. Everything I mentioned was declassified and factual. (I really just skipped the small talk and went straight to nerd). I went back inside.

We all had a chance to eat amazingly delicious food. He ended up in the room I was in. I overheated and had to stand over one of the air vents on the floor (old and historical home). Why did I sing, ‘Victory is Mine’? I didn’t mean to and everyone in the room was like, “hey, hey, na”. I’m embarrassed now because I don’t sing in public and, for some reason, I find it even more embarrassing for someone to find out that I can actually sing. This song would come up, randomly, for months.

I ended up missing two showings of the movie. My then boyfriend calls me and rips me a new one. I don’t know how to make you believe that I lost track of time. It was about an hour drive back home and my brain was confused. Where did the time go? I looked at my watch all day and still never knew what time it was. I spoke to the groom for over an hour apparently. It felt like a short moment. My ex told me that I wouldn’t have a home because I forgot about him and our date. I didn’t forget, I was lost and I can’t understand, myself, what happened. I was lectured for hours then my ex would bring it up all the time. Instead of crying, per usual, I would daydream about the man that I met. He felt safe while I was speaking to him and he was the catalyst for my leaving abuse. Our conversation made me realize how horribly I was treated daily. He felt safe and like home for me. I’m such a hyper vigilant person but I was completely unaware in his presence. I didn’t have to know what was going on because I knew he had me. I felt safe. My brain no longer had a dialogue and my nervous system was calm for the first time in a year. He, unknowingly, continued to protect me. I continued to think of this beautiful spirit whenever my ex would yell and lecture. The thought of him created peace in a sea of chaos.

I knew I had to find him. I only had the incorrect name given to him by his bride. You bet I found him. Friend request accepted. There has not been a day since I met him that he hasn’t touched my thoughts. He has my number now. I did warn him that I was weird and I didn’t want to scare him. He told me that if I didn’t give him all of my weird then he wouldn’t really know me, so that was not okay. Everything that others finds odd or off-putting, he accepts it. I loved him the moment I met him. My spirit knew he was home. He is giving Twin Flame! I can’t tell him that though, because hearing that the Universe has been sending showing me the synchronicities…is a little odd. My extra-sensory gifts have been up leveling since our meeting. He gets me.
