#I was inspired by an ask I saw on tumblr 👀

[iznsfw]

Still remember me?

On this day three years ago, I wrote and posted my first ever fic on Tumblr.

Since then, I've improved (I'm proud to say that), took breaks, met beautiful people, and most importantly: I had fun. Although it's just brainrot I was writing, I found joy in it and the people here <3

Things haven't been easy ever since my mother died and I got effectively admitted to a ward—I thought I should be honest with you guys. I'll be spending my birthday in a few days still in a facility where it gets too lonely at times. But I've only found so many things to be thankful for.

I'm grateful. Readers, writers, hate asks lol. I thought I should mention some people who've made my stay here happy, which of course is not an exclusive or ordered list:

@prael , thank you for always understanding and helping me out. When I was panicking and trying not to cry, you were the one who reached out. Saw your Kinktember and it was aaaawesome!! How are you so good?!? Thank you so much for being a good friend, a great writer, and a sweet guy overall. I owe you a lot, I love you!

@sinswithpleasure, thank you for being so sweet, so kind, and so precious. You're so easy to talk to and I love you more than you know.

@firagaarmor, my fellow Gaeul ult 👀 I always love how wise you are with your words. Thank you for giving me advice, offering new perspectives, and supporting me. I love you!

Kaede <3: not here on Tumblr, I think. But I thought you should know your welcoming words and overall cuteness helped bring me out of my shell. I love you, I love you, I love you! Please keep being my friend.

@friskyriskywhisky — your detailed and sweet feedback message was one of the last things I read before getting admitted. It's always in my thoughts and motivate me to get better. I love you and your asks and your creativity. Basically, I love everything about you!

@majorblinks, understand me sooo well. You're adorable and one of my inspirations. My twin, my bestie, and fellow Sophia stan, I love you!

@capslocked, the first thing I did after being given phone access was reread your fics. They're as good as I remember them. Thank you for giving honest feedback, being kind to me, and just getting me going. Love you!

And of course, to everyone! Everyone on Tumblr, everyone on Discord, everyone who's everything to me <3 Love you and thank you.

I'm sorry for going silent and leaving you in the dark. I'm just asking for a little more time. I'm getting healthier and trying harder. I've got some releases in the drafts and stuff I'm working on. I'll come back, but I hope you wait for me. You don't have to, but it's always nice to see you and know you're there <3

Mwah mwah chup chup! Mahal ko kayo, and I'm always thankful :')

I'm Kinda Terrified to Ask, But... Questions I NEED to Ask After You Read My Writing

I understand that many writers feel hesitant about sharing their work. It can be unnerving to think about others critiquing your writing. However, sharing your writing is crucial, especially if you're seeking feedback or thinking about publishing your work for a wider audience. Personally, I've only shared my work with a select few friends.

If you're thinking about doing the same, or if your friend has already read your entire piece, it might be helpful to ask them some questions to get their feedback and opinion on your writing. Here are a few questions you can consider asking them.

(Disclaimer: This is not my original concept; rather, it was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. However, I did ask several friends who had read my work these exact questions, so I thought I'd share them with you all as well. Please let me know if you are able to locate the original creator of the concept on Pinterest.)

 Now That You've Read It, I Have Some Burning Questions

"So, uh, you finished reading my story... 👀"

• What was your overall impression? Did you enjoy it? Was it...you know, good? 😅

• Which character did you like the most? The least? And why?

• Was the pacing okay? Did the story drag at any point or move too quickly?

• Did the dialogue feel natural and authentic? Or did it sound a bit forced?

• Were there any plot points that confused you or didn't make sense?

• What was your favorite scene or moment? The one that really stood out to you.

• If you could change one thing about the story, what would it be?

• On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate it overall?

And the big one... 😨 Would you actually read more of my writing in the future?

anxiously awaits response

Sweetie, get up! Star dropped some more fankids!! ✨️

Also, here's the voiceclaim for Rory becuz it's rare that I find voices to match characters!!!! BUT THIS IS PERFECT ✨️

ALSO BEFORE I FORGET TO ASK

Lore drop under the cut! ^^

Let me start with Revulsion, aka Rory! 🤎

Rory is very particular about how certain things should be : clean, proper and... literally the opposite of whatever tf bugs have going on XD He HATES those things. He takes much more after his mom in terms of personality, he's very judgemental and will make those judgements known. In fact, he'll make sure you follow his requests, they aren't negotiable, unless you're fine with him puking? But that'll just make him more grossed out- Just let him clean things, it'll be OK XD After his dad, he takes the twink-ness for sure, a little but of a failure covered up by his ocd like behavior.

His design is inspired, aside from Disgust and Fear, by Éclair and Espresso Cookies from CRK, as well as the concept of Tumblr sexy men, yk having the suit XD

Excitement! 🧡

Is an odd choice of fankid for me, because I don't actually like joyxiety as a romantic pair ^^" For personal reasons tho, I don't have anything against you if you do ship it! But I saw a design with similar hair as hers! And it sparked the idea so I HAD to draw her. She's very excitable and happy! Duh XD Her personality (and design) is similar to Spinel from Steven Universe ^^ What else is there to say? A little cartoon clown on roller-skates~☆

Excitement lowkey bullies Panic because they don't want to participate in any of her activities and they tend to be a creepy downer who puts down her mood, so those two don't get along very well ^^" Revulsion has to protect Panic from her, he hates how she treats Panic as yk, they can't really help but be freaked out all the time! It's kinda in their nature! He finds her behavior repulsive, and so he intervenes between them, keeping the peace 😌

“Now I know what you’re thinking— I don’t want a career in fast food! I want to be a comic artist! And eventually launch my own manga-inspired webcomic! And it’s cool to have dreams, but you also need to remember that they’re completely unrealistic, and YOU need to stop trying.” -Gangle

I don’t think a community has ever related to a character more than this, myself included. I think about this line constantly, and I have seen posts of other TADC fans posting about Gangle and how relatable she is when it comes to her art career. Which made me think about how many of us as a community are struggling as a majority of artists to find a crowd who cares and supports you. But can’t because of an algorithm or not being able to find your crowd or for whatever other reason you may have.

So I want you to put a link to the art you want me to follow and interact with. Heck! It doesn’t have to be your own! You might know somebody and their art that you want to give attention to. It doesn’t even have to be drawings, it can be writings, it can be music, it can be whatever. I may be one person, but I want this community to flourish. It’s funny whenever I accidentally stumble upon the author of a fanfic I read months ago. It’s fun finding the artists to works I saw on Pinterest (who didn’t bother to give credit 😤), or even just knowing who made the art by username just from the art style alone. It’s entertaining just talking to people who are passionate about their theories!

Maybe I am just rambling on for a bit about something you guys are too shy or too caught off-guard to do. But I DO want to get to know you guys! I joined Tumblr because I wanted to see more art between Kinger and Queenie, now I want to stay for the only part of the community that actually feels alive. So I ask you, please, send me a link to your work and I’ll follow you. I want to see more of TADC on my feed than anything else.

Sending Virtual Hugs to all 🫂

(I also encourage you to take a look at everyone who gives their link 👀 Support each other, that’s what will strengthen our community and others)

Enjoy!

The moon shone bright through the heavy clouds as you wondered where your spider was. 

Fighting crime, defeating evil, saving lives, all nothing you could complain about. Another universe, another day, another “business trip.” He used that phrase to try and make you feel better but it couldn’t take away from the fact that one day he may not return. Perhaps if things went bad enough you wouldn’t ever be able to know what happened to him, just spending the rest of your life waiting for someone who would never return. You tried your best to shove the thought away as you fiddled with the window latch.

You pushed open the window widely to get whatever cool night air you could in your little city apartment. As the hot summer days neared closer you took solace in the cold rainy night. The sound of the rain and the city traffic was oddly comforting.

You turned and walked toward the kitchen sink opposite of the room figuring you'd at least try to get some chores done. It was a small-ish apartment the size of a hotel room really. The biggest room was the merged kitchen and living room. Still, it was familiar enough space for you to sense the presence behind you.

The moment you turned your back you heard the window blinds gently tap against the window pane; anyone else would’ve thought that had been the wind. Anyone else without a spider person lover anyways.

“Do spiders ever use the door?” You spoke without turning around, instead you turned the faucet on to do the dishes.

“You should start locking that window at night,�� his gruff voice was directly behind you.

“Miguel,” you sighed, twisting the tap off before turning around.

It had been a week since his last visit, the longest ever since you started “seeing” each other. You hadn’t put a label on anything yet, what could you call a lover from another dimension that could never stay with you?

Every time you saw him after a prolonged period you were intimidated by how he stood over you. He hadn’t meant to be intimidating as his mask was already removed, yet it was hard to ignore his height and size of his build especially when he had to look down at you.

“Nobody can enter a 4th story window,” you smiled. “Just you.”

Despite that you were angry he was gone for so long your heart melted at the sight of his brown locks falling gracefully over his forehead. He wore his blue and red spider suit as he always did when traveling.

He wrapped his large arms around your waist, pulling you close into his hot embrace. He planted a kiss on your forehead.

“Te extrañé…” He trailed off as he pulled back to look into your eyes. 

He held his hands against your face when you eyed his bracelet; the thing that let him stay here with you without “glitching out.” It was a grim reminder of what could never be. Despite the comfort you got from his rough hands against your soft face, it made you sad. 

“I missed you too,” you sighed, overlapping his hand with your smaller one.

The bracelet was cool to the touch as you frowned. “Where have you been?” You scolded, “You told me you’d be back by Monday. It’s Friday!”

“I’m sorry,” he sighed furrowing his brows. “It’s work.”

“It always is,” You turn around putting your hands on the smooth countertop.

“I’ll make it up to you,” he offered, sounding sad and hopeful.

You knew he didn’t mean to make you worry or make you sad. You both wished things were different. It would make it so much easier. You knew though that if he could change things he would and you didn’t want to hold what was out of his control against him. It wasn’t his fault you were born in different worlds, different universes. It didn’t help that you weren’t a spider person either.

You felt his hands gently against your waist as he moved closer to you.

“I'm sorry." He sighed. "Mi pequeña colibrí…” he whispered into your ear. His breath was hot and heavy against your neck sending shivers down your body.

“Oh stop, you can’t use the español to make me feel better! No fair!” You laughed. 

He placed a kiss on your ear that tickled before you spun back around, wrapping your arms over his shoulders.

“My spiderman,” You giggled as his look of concern melted into happiness. "I'm not mad at you. Just try to let me know if you'll be late next time."

The corner of his lips turned upward ever so slightly in relief. "I promise."

Another thing that was likely yours only; Miguel’s smile. When Jessica met you she was surprised you were even real. She warned you to not mention much of Miguel’s personal life activities to the other spider people but it was hard to remember. Once you accidentally mentioned the flowers on your table were from Miguel to Gwen she nearly fainted. You adored the way he treated you special even if you weren’t sure why he chose you. You could never be mad at him for something he couldn't control.

He brushed his thumbs in a circular motion against your waist as he held you. His dark eyes were full of love as he looked down at you. 

You ran your fingers back through his brown hair. He seemed to sigh beneath your touch, it was thrilling in a way to know he was comfortable enough around you to let his guard down. Nobody else could see Miguel the way you did.

“You need to stop being so stressed. Relax more.” You sighed bringing your fingers to his forehead. “Grumpy wrinkles.”

He chuckled low as he held you tightly. He brought his face down into your neck to inhale the sweet scent of your perfume that he loved so much.

“I know what helps with that,” his voice was deep and silky and fuck it made your body melt. 

You giggled as his sweet kisses turned into loving nibbles. He was careful to not hurt you with his fangs but he knew how much you loved his gentle biting. You had a hunch he loved it as much as you did. On top of that it’s been a week without it and damn you missed him.

You let his touch overwhelm you as he held you, softly biting against your delicate skin. His body tensed against you the moment you let out a small pleasurable gasp.

“Hm,” He huffed deeply as he pulled back. “I forgot my strength. I’m sorry, mi colibrí.”

He brought his fingers up to your neck, wiping away the wetness before examining the hickie left behind.

“That’s what makeup is for,” you reassured. “Now, you have a week to make up for…”

“No better time to start than now,” he knocked off the stack of papers that were laying on the countertop.

Before you could react he grabbed your hips, lifting you into the air. You let out a faint gasp as you wrapped your legs around him.

“Miguel!” You scolded as he smirked at you, placing you on the empty countertop space. “Naughty, what has become of you?” You teased him.

“You have become of me,” he pressed his hot lips against yours hungrily. 

He brought his hands around to the back of your head holding you close so he could kiss you deeply. It wasn’t long before you could feel his cool tongue against your lips. You opened your mouth letting him in, his cold mouth meeting your warm one.

You brought your hands to his shoulders feeling the fabric of his suit. Eagerly you moved your fingers to his back, grasping for the zipper. You rotated between feeling the muscles of his back and fumbling with the damn zipper making your kisses turn sloppy.

“Eager aren’t we?” He laughed low and deep in his throat, it wasn’t a mocking tone. In fact you knew he loved it. 

He shimmied his shoulders out of the suit and it took all of your power not to basically drool over him. You wasted no time bringing your hands to feel his hot skin, tracing your fingers lovingly over the scars on his chest.

You buried your fingers in his hair as your lips met again. The man loves to kiss you, almost as much as he loves to bite you. He took the opportunity to switch to biting your neck whenever you pulled back to breathe. 

He slowly brought his fingers underneath the hem of your shirt, running his calloused fingers along your silky smooth torso. You separated from him only long enough to remove the pesky fabric of your top before diving back into him again.

You could feel the bulge in his underwear against your leg as he leaned forward to undo the clasp of your bra. He brought his large hands to your breasts lovingly cupping and massaging them. Goosebumps rose against his skin at the sound of your soft, lustful moans.

“More baby,” you whispered.

He brought his lips to your nipple, his hair tickling your chest. You tilted your head down letting yourself get lost in the scent of his shampoo while he planted wet kisses against your stiff nipple. His grabs on your body slowly turned more rough as you felt his teeth against your skin.

“More,” you demand. It’s been a week and damn you wanted him more than anything. 

He hooked his fingers underneath the soft fabric of your leggings and panties as you shimmied to help. Your body shivered as the fabric pooled to the floor. Miguel looked at your body with a mixture of awe and hunger- a deep lust filled hunger.

He brought his index and middle finger to your entrance, smiling when he felt how wet you were.

“You really did miss me huh, mi pequeña colibrí?” 

You nodded “mmm’, yes I did. Need you, Miguel.” You whined feeling him circle your entrance.

He wasn’t cruel to make you wait as he plunged his fingers in. Your back arched as you gasped, spreading your legs desperate for him deeper. Feeling his fingers arch against your walls and watching the movements of his wrist as he pleased you was intoxicating.

Still you wanted more.

“Please, baby,” you whimpered.

Your body whined when he stopped and pulled his fingers out. 

“What is it, cariño?” His voice purred. He brought his fingers to his lips, rolling his tongue over your sweetness.

“You,” your lip quivered as you shuddered from the cool apartment air. “Please.”

You knew this was a game he could normally play for a long time. Not today though, neither of you could handle it. Instead your heart raced as he nodded to the kitchen drawer where you kept the condoms since counter sex had become a more regular activity.

He brought his large, hard cock out of his boxers, stroking lightly. You swallowed at the sight wondering how you could ever take him.

He smirked at your expression “are you afraid?”

You shook your head, reaching your hands out to his broad shoulders trying to bring him closer. You fumbled with the condom, bringing your hands to his hot cock. He gasped lightly as your hands held him him, rolling the condom down over him.

He lined his tip against your entrance, soaking himself in your juices and teasing you just a little. 

“Are you ready?” He whispered and for the first time tonight you heard his voice start to shake.

You bit your lip as you nodded “I am.”

He slowly slid himself in as you let out a moan of tight, firey pressure. The moment he was fully inside you both let out a gasp; you both waited so long for this moment. You wrapped your arms around him as he buried his face in the crook of your neck while you got used to the feeling of all of him inside. 

He waited for you to nod and give him the okay to continue. He planted a kiss on your cheek as he pulled out slightly before thrusting in again. You spread your legs further apart, moaning at the next deeper thrust. You grasped at the muscles of his back for an anchor.

“Just like that, cariño,” He whispered, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.

He thrusted against, harder and faster as you felt your pleasure start to build. He kept a lovely, steady pace and you knew it wouldn’t be long until you reached your climax.

“Oh Miguel,” you moaned, making him shiver. “Baby, I’m close.”

You grasped at his back desperate to have more of him. His heavy breaths and grunts sent electricity through you while his cock pressed lovingly against that sweet spot.

“Don’t move,” his voice was a quiet whimper while you held him.

Fuck, hearing him whimper always sent you feral but you did your best to keep still while he pounded into your tight cunt. Your back arched as the waves of pleasure crashed down into a lovely orgasm. 

“You feel so good,” he whispered in your ear. 

You knew he was close and you wrapped your legs around him not letting him go. 

“I’m, I’m-“ his voice broke off as you felt his cock twitch inside of you.

His arms held you tightly to him as you were wrapped around him lovingly. The heat of your bodies, the feeling of his heart beating and the rise and fall of his chest as he heavily breathed through the pleasure… Despite that soon he’d have to leave again these moments are what make it worth it.

"Te amo," his voice was a husky whisper as he held you.

For now, you got to enjoy the warm embrace of your spider.

Thanks so much for reading, let me know if you enjoyed with any comments/reblogs, I appreciate them all!

So sorry I’m late 😭 but, Happy Birthday Enden!!!

I hope you had a great birthday! I’m sorry I’m sending this late. I’ve somewhat recently found your stuff and it’s taken a hold of my life lol. I got back into Jesskas because my bf and I were replaying MCSM and I was curious what stuff I could find on Tumblr, and oh boy I was not disappointed. Especially your work, it’s just plain amazing. Your artwork is so great and your fanfics just fill me with so much joy! You and your bf are so talented and it really has given me so much motivation and inspiration to keep working on my stuff. Your humor is so funny and the way you write has so much thought and passion into it. I wish both you and your bf only the best and hope you have a great day!

(I know you like Mario and Jesskas so I made a piece of Jesse and Lukas playing Mario together but gave it my 80s twist, hope you enjoy!)

OH MY GOSH.. Hold on bro I LOOOOOVE the way you draw Jesse 🤩 The first one put the biggest smile on my face it's so cute!! The second one, however 👀, had me staring an inch away from my phone. This is like eye candy to me. This is... This is PEAK. I LOVE the 80's twist, and to imagine Jesse being a little retro gamer is something I am extremely fond of. It's one of my own personal very self indulgent things I like to hc him as. Also Lukas looking perfect in pink as always. I also love the outfits (especially Jesse's I kinda want to draw him in it) and the framed mountain dew picture cracked me up. xD

Also random thing but it totally reminds me of this retro set up I saw at Nintendo LIVE last year so you kinda nailed it (ignore the bears on the chair they are mine and Andy's ☠️ maybe both wearing Mario shirts.. Don't ask.)

Anyways. Thank you so much for the art and the kind words 🥹 Warmed my wee lil heart. I appreciate it so so much dude. Also I showed Andy (bf) and he said he loved the art too!!

[cacodaemonia]

May I ask about Time Was Away and Somewhere Else (and/or de-stress) for the WIP game? 👀

Hiiiii :D Thanks for the ask!

This is the only fic I'm actively (and slowly) working on atm and will probably be the source of every last line challenge I do for quite a while.

It was inspired by this Tumblr post, and though it has very little to do with marriage aside from a few lines in chapter 2, I wanted to go for the 'lighthouse' vibes. The lighthouse became a Deep Core space station where Waxer and Boil get jobs after the war (*waves hands in general direction of fix-its*).

In this AU, they became friends early on, but after becoming officers, they were assigned to different units and saw each other less and less. This fic is going to focus on them reconnecting now, with a 'present scene -> past scene -> present scene' format for each chapter. So I'm trying to sort of mirror themes or events they went through together in the past with their present-day situation/challenges/etc.

They had some friendly, casual sex in the past, so I'll get to play around with 'physical intimacy before emotional intimacy' in some ways.

Oh, and I'm trying to make the station a character—though not like an AI or droids or whatever, but more like how settings can play active roles in stories.

So it's a lot for me to try and tie together 😅 It may be a total disaster, haha, but I always love 'isolated together' fics, and the 'reconnecting' angle is something very different for me.

Okay that was long. Thanks again!! <3

👀 A fic that you love a normal amount

Holy shit. This one is a masterpiece. I'm trying to write a full essay-length comment for this fic because it is that good. It's the style and level of storytelling I wish to achieve and learn. It's so achingly beautiful.

👌🏼 A fic someone else recommended to you

I'm so entirely sure because I uh, tend to scouring for fics on my own but I think I saw this one floating around on Tumblr or Twitter three chapters in but I checked it out and I was so damn hooked until the very end

💌 A fic that inspired you to create something for it

Haven't gotten around to doing it yet but oh, my God, this series is just so beautifully written and the depiction of everyone is just so gorgeous??? I just want to draw something for it so much

Ask List

[caernua]

re: your arcana post - i literally don't even go here but i live for drama.... if you were ever to do a video essay or even just a write up in a post about the situation.... i want to know what happened, can't resist 👀👀

oh my goodd it's so eerie to explain it to someone who wasn't involved but this silly little mobile dating sim was just an initial passion project from a small team of employees of an indie game developer that was basically given six weeks to turn in something completely self-indulgent and it quickly got a backing on kickstarter around 2016-2017? beyond that it was quite a classic case of a project becoming more famous than its creators expected and it turns into a bit of a mess bc of their lack of experience. and by that i mean they got very close to the fans, and that's bound to open a can of worms. they used to make weekly q&as and you can't imagine what an exciting event that was, oh my god literally everyone was in a discord server losing their shit bc the devs had opened the askbox and we could ask the stupidest questions in the world about their characters and they would answer bc frankly they were very funny and the characters were all like... established in a funny enough way that it was so easy to make good jokes about them.

and i think what makes it very interesting is that the fandom was actually pretty small, but it felt HUGE. those q&as seemed like the most viral posts you could run into when you logged on tumblr but really most of them had a couple thousand notes at best, even when the arcana was at its most popular. it was literally like living in a small village where everybody knew EVERYBODY. if you posted something, high chance everyone in the fandom would see and reblog. it was like a hive mind.

also part of the reason why it felt so huge was bc everyone was churning out fan content like CRAZY, i don't think there was ever any fandom i've personally been in where i've seen so many people create so much damn stuff and frankly i think it's one of its strongest features. idk what it is about this game but everytime i revisit it inspires me so much, suddenly i wanna pick up my tablet after months, i wanna try writing again, etc. it's just wonderful at urging you to create and i have no idea how one even achieves that.

but yea the fandom slowly disappeared partly due to controversies, some of the creators were found to have been into some questionable stuff back in their not so olden days and they stepped away from the limelight, afterwards i believe a lot of the team stepped away from the game altogether. but it was weird because the controversies were constant, not just towards the creators but also within the fandom itself 💀 and given the huge volume of them they of course ranged from reasonable criticism especially regarding the representation of the characters of color, or the absurd microtransaction to stuff like 'his eyes are drawn bigger in this cg so the artists wanted to make him look like a child so this game caters to pedos actually' dkjgdkfj i saw some CRAZY takes and the bad faith criticism definitely overshadowed the reasonable voices in my opinion, it was not balanced at all. they stopped doing the q&as, the posts they made on their official tumblr became way more sanitized, and actually in a way so did some aspects of the game, and little by little it grew quieter.

and now it's... silent. but it's so near and dear to my heart, i think it's an absolutely wonderful game and what i love about it the most is how much it inspires people to create. and i think the reason why is bc unlike in many games like this (at least i think, i'm not sure cause i haven't played many) your character doesn't just suddenly meet every love interests. they have a connection to some of the love interests and a past they don't remember so it's very interesting to peel those layers back, BUT because it's your character the story stays quite vague about the past. so it's incredibly fun to speculate, to create a backstory, etc! that's i think one of my favorite things about it and it's not a coincidence that arcana went on to inspire some fans to venture into the visual novel genre as creators themselves.

and yea overall it just felt like a close positive community (well. mostly really, we are talking about a fandom on tumblr here so) and a super creative and inspiring one. the jokes were super fun, the art was top notch, the writing was also good. so yea i kinda miss it and it's sad to see how empty it seems now? like i see people from 2020 onward go 'ohh i just discovered this game' and i'm like... MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD... YOU HAVE NO IDEA.... YOU HAD TO BE THERE.... and ig i didn't really answer your question bc i kind of glossed over the drama but i went through the whole phenomenon bc i think it was. really interesting to witness 🫡

[merrycrisis-if]

oh my god, i HAVE to ask….

Was the title inspired by the merry crisis vine???

(im so sorry it was the first thing i thought of when i saw it)

HAHAHA well, I saw the vine on Tumblr, but yes!! It made me crack up. And I was like. Yep. Perfect vibes.

But then I did more research and like, apparently “Merry Crisis” or “Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear” is a slogan that appeared as graffiti in Athens during the 2008 Civil Unrest in Greece. During the 2008 riots, the phrase was spray-painted outside the Bank of Greece in Athens. [extracted from the website]

Way more sombre in tone though.

But 'Happy New Fear' would be... an excellent title for a sequel (Chinese New Year is truly fear-inducing.) 👀

(POV tumblr wont let you choose the right blog to ask question so you use anonymous but still sign 🤣)

Lol Hi!👋😂

Okay so this one is heavily inspired by the legalities of kidnapping a part of I saw it once in a dream series by stainedXglassXmasquerade I love it if you didn't read it you should and my frustration with tye fics where Sabo doesn't run away from his family bc y'all what about Garp!?

So Sabo doesn't run away on that day allowing Ace to actually find him, Sabo wants to run away but doesn't want to endanger his brothers and Ace & Luffy want him to be free, Sabo convinces them to give him time to plan and they agree

In that period Garp returns to the island bc a celestial was just here! He needs to make sure the brats are alright!

The brats aren't alright, they aren't complete too

He gets Luffy and Ace to spill and he's like hmm yeah I can see the problem.

Cue Garp dusting off his uniform telling them wait a bit, he comes back at the end of the day with Monkey D Sabo the newest addition to the Monkey family legally the only grandson

Garp: Hey Tsuru! Can you send me that recruitment paper for Nobels? Oh and some adoption papers

Tsuru:...what are you doing and will I bear the consequences?

Garp: I'm stealing a grandson! I saw him hunt his food and made me nostalgic! What better way to make my holidays entertaining than training the next generation? BWAHAHAHA

Tsuru:... I'm ignoring everything you just said and will send everything, anything happens and I don't know anything about this.

Garp is able to make a plan with Sabo where they make a scene, Sabo does something & Garp is there to say wow this man has the potential to be a great Marine kinda making the Outlooks look bad if they refuse to make their son a marine after The Hero of the Marine just said that in front of all of high town & so Garp slips the adoption papers in the middle of the recruitment paper and ta-da you have Monkey D Sabo the only legal grandson of Garp the fist and an actual reason he could visit more/stay longer without the WG looking more into it :3

Sabo: How did you get here with no one noticing you

Garp: By being a great Marine like you will >:3

-------

Sabo: How do you even know this will work!

Garp: Because I'm a great Marine and I don't play by the nobles roles >:3

-------

Sabo: YOU'RE GARP THE FIST

Garp: Duh it's obvious

Sabo: I have so many questions and yet none

I like to think Sabo really didn't know who Garp is except some strong old marine with horrible taste in fashion, and this will be the first time the brothers will actually notice holy shit he actually is smart

I love Garp and wish more fics really show that he loves his grandkids and that they love him back but alas :')

Hope you liked it 😊

Hi dreamy I'm a big fan of the splatoon ocs could I perhaps hear about them 👀

HIIII IM VERY SORRY FOR TAKING THIS LONG I WAS STRUGGLING WITH UNIVERSITY AND I WANTED TO MAKE SOME SORT OF DECENT THING TO SUMMARIZE ALL OF THEM, BUT AS YOU MIGHT NOTICE THERE'S MANY CHARACTERS.

Idk if i can fully explain the whole plot since that'd take me like way too long of an explanation but! here's a rundown of Almost Every Character involved! (This story/plot is one i have been building up with my gf @/fridaywave (he's not active on tumblr) so all of them are connected in some way!)

The main Main character of them all is Dani, mainly bc we have split the timeline between past and present to the point where Dani and Niki meet! (more in the readmore)

Dani is a very troubled character who came from a not-so-great, middle-high class family in Inkopolis, he always struggled with his identity because he was kind of the shadow of his twin sister (Gender crisis did not help this). After he realized that Art School wasn't the right thing for him, he ran away to Splatsville to start anew and maybe find artistic inspiration again with the "chaotic" nature of the Splatlands.

There she meets Niki, who also introduces her to her own "gang" of friends who were all part of the low-division competitive team Badlands Wanderers. The team stopped participating in the competitive scene after their own leader, Erika, left them all behind.

During the whole story Dani slowly grows into his own person, meeting more friends, coming to terms with his past, and learning to express himself openly. Also falling in love with the very, very cool Niki who was the one who saw his determination from the start. They all also manage to get rid of the pain in the ass that Rowan is during all of it.

Idk, if you're curious abt the details of a specific OC of mine you can just lmk! You can also ask abt my gf's ocs if ur interested and i'll ask him what to reply :]

Hi bbg I commented a while ago asking(begging actually) if u would consider writing more fics of gorou scara and our lovely kazuha as subs. I am here today asking if u have taken my questions(my begging) into consideration and thought of making some more, if u have but not on this account i will be needing that other account name to view the fics as a volunteer to see if they are any good(they most likely will be and I’ll be drooling) if u wanted to make them but on this account I will still be checking every 2 mins to see if one is out I do recommend u make an acc for subs since by far most of what I’ve seen u have just sub!reader so it will be amazing if u do make one if u feel like u need more motivation I recommend going to my post(you know who I am) to get inspiration by all my thirsty begging. PLEASE DO MAKE SOME FICS FOR THEM THO U SEEM TO HAVE THE TALENT

I’m so sorry I just saw this! Tumblr was hiding this from me. Damn you tumblr *shakes fist angrily*

I did manage to start this, tho it’s unfinished

(I may or may have not hit the delete button and gave myself a heart attack while copy and pasting this here- 👀)

Kinks I think these perverts would have lol

~. ——————————-.~

Kaveh, Tartaglia, Kaeya

~. ——————————-.~

Kaveh -

MAJOR panty stealer! I mean, all of these guys would but he is on ANOTHER LEVEL

Constantly you will be losing panties you literally JUST wore. Like you just took them off before taking a shower and BOOM! They vanish into thin air

After a while of this magic act, you confront your roommate about it. Just as you would suspect, he pleads innocence. Who would ever admit to doing something weird anyways?

But to Kaveh, he just can’t help it. As soon as he walks by your room and catches a glimpse of your dainty panties loosely thrown on the floor, he feels something wash over him.

A need.

He quickly swipes it and returns to his room.

He examines the material, unable to help from biting his lip as he sees the slight dampness in the center.

God, he already feels hot all over.

Before he knew it, he was huffing your panties like a drug, desperately his fist.

You would certainly think he was disgusting for doing something like this, wouldn’t you?

But, the thought of you punishing him only eggs him on.

That’s why whenever he does something like this, he always leaves the door unlocked, in the hopes you will walk in on him being the pathetic pervert he is.

And maybe his fantasy will come true by how many fucking times he does this. It truly is a problem.

Tartaglia-

you can’t tell me he wouldn’t like knife play.

He lives for the adrenaline rush of battle, but the strangely addictive feeling of you towering over him, glaring down at him as you press a knife ever so close to his jugular.

The power dynamic alone is enough to send him over the edge, but when you actively try to make him submit has his face twisting into the most lewd expression you can think of.

Whether it be knives, whips, tasers, or even guns, he’s into it all.

The more his life is actually in danger, the stronger the rush he feels.

And when you tie him up, too.

God, you will have the man pleading. Not for his life, but for you to absolutely RUIN HIM.

Do anything to him. He wouldn’t mind.

Kaeya -

This flirt LOVES to tease you. And what makes it worse is how he will leave you hanging. The bastard-

He will do the most scandalous things out of nowhere, I swear.

You could be on your way to a meet up with some of your friends and he will just pull you into an alley and tease the everliving FUCK out of you and just.

Let you go.

He’s an absolute brat.

One of the reasons he’s a brat is in hope that when you get home you’ll take all that anger out on him.

He is obsessed with hate sex

He wants you to, just like Tartaglia, RUIN HIM.

Yes, some say this relationship is unhealthy.

But

He’s so fucking good in bed you can’t help but just stick around for the sex.

violence ask game ; OPEN

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

that one guy who called slugcat shipping a time paradox is literally so fucking funny, but real answers... does it have to be on tumblr? because i can think of two i hated that i saw on discord. everything ive seen on tumblr i've personally disagreed with but i wouldn't call any of it bad ANYWAYS DISCORD a pre-downpour headcanon i saw in the official server was something like. "moon is only nice to you because she suffered :) her whole experience humbled her. if she was still standing, she'd be as ruthless as pebbles" SUFFERING IS NEVER A POSITIVE FOR ANYONE! i get this is like. not a real person but to imply that suffering somehow makes someone a better person (and not a better character) is sickening. i don't see it now that dp came out but. gross gross gross and take number 2. someone went on a rant in a discord server im in about how pebbles literally did nothing wrong because everything that led up to his situation wasn't really his fault-- moon stopped him or suns gave him the pearl. whats next. it's slivers fault for dying too? YES its information that shouldnt have been given but that doesnt mean pebbles DIDNT use it irresponsibly. he did. he was killing moon. and she was rightfully trying to save herself

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

something my friend also dislikes but. really dont like it when people depict artificer as soft. that is a war criminal perpetuating the cycle of violence that hurt her in the first place. i understand maybe sentimental about children because its a nice thought but other then that. that is someone with cold logic to justify her ruthless violence. YES she is sympathetic. but jegus. that cat sees murder for the sake of murder as an ok thing and the soft interp of her feels wrong

also uh. different thing entirely but. sorry i really dont understand sunx x pebbles. suns is very much a mentor to him and thinking about them getting together is uncomfortable to me. its the power imbalance to me. suns x pebbles isnt problematic to me (as long as you dont like. romanticize the potential abuse! my friend has seen some of that and its gross) but its a bit umcomfy

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

anything i say about spirituality in rain world. im not religious and i honestly don't know the % of buddhists and hindus in this fandom but the inspirations are real and do matter and you cant brush karma and reincarnation off as a "game mechanic" because a lot of it does make sense in universe. all of it? i cannot explain all of it, either because it really doesn't make sense or i don't have the knowledge to yet. but literally being able to die and come back is not just a game mechanic! it's part of the lore!

Me again, oh no, I hope you’re not pushing yourself too hard at work babes!

I’ve been going feral about Sangyeon too, he looks even bigger and stronger this cb it’s so hard to keep the hard thoughts down.

A couple of hours ago they came out with a new video where Sangyeon wore this black knitted cardigan and this thick frame glasses. Could NOT concentrate doing my work afterwards.. 🤦‍♀️

How am I more feral about fully clothed Sangyeon than about those pictures (Oh you know which ones💆‍♀️)..? Imagine having single dad Sangyeon live in the unit right next to you in the same apartment. Everytime you go to work, you would bump into him dropping off his toddler into the daycare. You’d notice the cute little things he’d do from those little interactions in the morning like how he adjusts his glasses, the way he crouches to level and talk to his kid, his cute smile he flashes everytime he sees you. You’d grow closer, and sometimes if Sangyeon had to work overtime he’d ask you to babysit the kid and hear me out.. you invited Tired!Sangyeon who came to pick his kid up in and offered to atleast cook some ramyeon for him and he accepts but he fell asleep waiting in the couch with his kid. You were trying to take a picture of them to show it later when Sangyeon mumbled your name in his sleep. 👀 You woke him up (panicking inside) and had /a moment/ when you were doing the dishes and he traps you between the counter. You look back at him and your lips touched- but suddenly the kid cries in the living room asking to go home, Sangyeon looks at you with a frown and said “Let’s talk tomorrow”.

The next day, you were kind of scared but also very excited to see Sangyeon. When you come home from work, you were greeted by a man standing on your doorstep. It’s not Sangyeon, but your toxic ex trying to get you back AGAIN. He was doing the most, holding your hands and bought you flowers 💐. While he was begging you to come back, the elevator door opens and Sangyeon saw what was happening. “Am I interrupting something?” he asked, you yelled NO so fast, grabbed Sangyeon’s hand, lightly squeezed and whispered “please help me get rid of him”.

Oh he came THROUGH, he put his arms around you, give you a kiss on the cheek and said “Who is this, sweetheart? Is he bothering you?” (!!??) oh your cheeks were so red. Your coward ex huffed and left so you pulled Sangyeon inside and thanked him for saving your life😭

But to your surprise, he had this stern look and he caged you between him and the door. “I dropped Juwon off at my mom’s” he said, “O.. oh really..?” you didn’t know what to say, you’re still processing the situation. “You dated that motherfucker?” his face has gotten so close that his mouth almost touched your ear. He sounds.. possesive. “Uh.. yeah.. i-it was a long time ago” You were scared but also ..turned on? you’ve never seen this side of Sangyeon before. He pressed a kiss on your ear, “Well if he ever comes back..” kiss again, on the neck this time “..you know you can always..” he licks a trail from your neck to your ear “..call me, right?”.

🥵 Please excuse my DILF Sangyeon brainrot. I haven’t been the same this cb and I was inspired by this dream I had during Awake era (trust me when I said I /scrambled/ to get my notes app immediately after I woke up from that dream).

P.S. Is it OK if I take this emoji 🧊?

ofc you can take the 🧊 emoji! hehe but also...

that idea is... wow we haven't had a single dad scenario for sangyeon in ages here on tumblr I havent even gotten the chance to think about it 😮‍💨 DILF sangyeon would definitely be the cause of my death and yes I totally get you on the whole glasses and cardigan fit idk why it was so hot when it shouldn't have been kjsdnfdskjnf

maybe... MAYBE if I play my cards right we COULD get a DILF sangyeon scenario for kinktober... 👀
