In honour of pride month- I wanna shout out my boy papyrus undertale!

Thanks to him I was able to learn what the term ace meant when I was 18 which cleared up a lot of confusion for me lol. Thank you to that fic writer who decided to portray him as such.

While he doesn’t have a cannon sexuality (that I’m aware of) in my heart he’s a fellow ace

“Those two things can exist at the same time. Like you said, it's all—it's all tangled up together, you and me.”

double page spread for one of my favorite luzo fics of all time, poly philtatos (the most beloved by far) by my good friend - @swordsmans!

I knew I wanted to do a double page spread the second I finished this fic and I drafted abt a dozen ideas before landing on what would ultimately become this. There were so many snippets and moments I wanted to illustrate but I ended up doing more of an abstracted version of the fic as opposed to 1:1 drawings of scenes

funnily enough while the fic itself is told in zoros pov this spread is framed mostly through luffy’s eyes - his tears literally frame comp for their reunion, the moment he loses zoro, and the centerpiece of the first page which is this weird abstraction of him on the beach seeing zoros corpse-not-a-corpse in the waves just beyond his reach.

gyro put the crane wives’ never love an anchor on the playlist for this fic which i heavily used as inspiration in picking ornamental things for the spread (the anchor, the fleet of ships by luffy, and the nautical rope splitting the second page). also just like. overall really heartbreaking lyrics guys

there are smaller elements throughout the spread that are 1:1 references though (all i will say for these is if you know, you know hehe) i wish i had more time to do a lengthier piece for fanart for this fic bc it's one of the few luzo fics that have been rattling around in my brain forever now - once again please please please read poly philtatos if you haven't. gyro is a masterful writer and they deserve all the love! ok byeee

#i read this for the first time on a 18 hour flight and all i could do was pace the aisles and obsessively wipe at my eyes when i finished i #so i hope this conveys even 5% of that feeling #my design notes are like only 10% of what i want to say abt this fic. i am very ill #one piece #one piece fanart #luzo #zolu #zolu fic #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #my art #one piece fanfiction #gear 5 luffy

House M.D. but it's when Wilson says House's name

#house md #james wilson #prince's talk tag #finally!!! it's done! this and the house version took almost two weeks to do #first off thank you to the clinic-duty team on livejournal for making the transcripts for these episodes #because this video would be near impossible to make without their clear transcripts. I hope y'all are doing well #ive been reading a lot of fics with these two and i see how the authors have the characters refer to each other in their fics #and that got me wondering how much do they say each other's name in the show and how do they refer to each other #since this is the wilson video ill put his stats here #s1 was 11 times s2 was 18 s3 was 45 s4 was 32 s5 was 41 s6 was 60 s7 was 47 and s8 was 48 #in total he says his name 302 times. Mostly refers to him just by House #the only time I've heard him say his first name its when he's being professional or when he's really angry (and that one time he proposed)#and even then it's always the full name not just the first name #the only instance I've seen him use just his first name was on that note he put on House's xmas gift that we see in season 5 #and as much as I wanted to put that moment in here he never actually says the contents of the note out loud so i had to leave it out #but what surprised me was he says House's name more than House says his name #especially when the earlier seasons didn't have him say his name as much

if the trope works, it ✨works✨ y’know~

#(aka chizuchan manga ch5 is coming out in 18 1/2 hours and im too excited to sleeeeep)#(s o im reading rofan isekai manhwa as a bedtime story☆ but the story is too interesting to lull me to sleep☆ ✨sad times✨)#still thinking about this rofan webnovel i binged over the weekend with a dynamic like this^#the dude pined for over a hundred chapters before going from 0-100 the moment they were in an enclosed space together it was so funny #the fact that his interest in her started bc she gave him tips on tax evasion was iconic tbhhh #m a n i cant forget that dumb biscotti boi no matter what i do… that novel was pretty good and it had reasons™️ for why the fl was so op…#thinking about them and their hilarious dynamic again kinda makes me want to see lxl in a rofan setting tbh #they’d have the pettiest of arguments esp in a ‘formal’ nobles setting #i d o kinda have a draft/stuff for a lxl villainess isekai au fic… but i think it’d be too sad if they dont un-isekai themselves back #so i havent done much with it… hm. maybe some day…#b u t on another note fanart of meoto rofan aus are always fun to see #their costumes are so complex yet the artists always draw them so beautifully… thank you for the food lxl twt #but… demon x human sacrifice is. lowkey. kinda… beauty & the beast-esque… right…?#except for how demon!aizo prolly wasnt cursed into demonhood. but. still.#oh well… maybe that’s enough rofan lxl thoughts for one day… see y’all when chizuchan ch5 drops later~~~~~~

The lack of exclusively male reader fics in several fandoms is so depressing actually

#like.#its 80% fem reader 18% “gn but mostly reads fem reader” and 2% male reader #if even that #its probably more 1.5%#what the fuck!!!!#this is some bullshit #i dont want 2 hear “just write it yourself” either bc it shouldn't be so fucking difficult to find just one person who writes it #and im so so so fucking sick of “gn” fics that are HEAVILY fem reader coded #like some of y'all just write fem reader and change she/her to they/them for clicks and it pisses me off #i should be allowed to enjoy fics of my favorite characters too #y'all have no gd problem writing m/m fics of fictional men any other time but when it comes to male reader that's somehow impossible #auuuugh.#elliot rambles #mini rant #rant

The Forest Fic that changed my preteen brain chemistry being kinda cannon in Tøp/Dema lore was not something I was expecting in 2024.

What I also wasn’t expecting was Tyler Fucking Man with Three Children and a Wife Joseph to repost a meme on his instagram about it.

Shout out to the fics you read years and years ago, fics you found on a whim late at night and read and moved on and yet their stories haunt. Pour one out for those fics you stand no chance in hell of finding again and yet even long after you read those words, you still find yourself affected by them. Here’s to the stories that exist without name, author or even words but just the gentle impression they left on you long ago.

#I read so much DP fic back in the day on FF that I'll never see again #I still remember one of the first I read where Danny had his accident became Phantom in front of sam and tuck #and then then fled hid from everyone for years and was in college when he hears of trouble in amity and returns #i read that like 18 years ago like just a random ass fic I read at 2am and yet #I think about it sometimes out of the blue how it made ME feel as a young 13 year old about the idea of abandoning everything to run #idk if the author cares about this story #if anyone else remembers it #it passed in and out of my life in less than a hour and yet a full childhood lifespan later I am making a tumblr post about it #there's something a little bit magical about that I think

ok question come on how does that green anime hair guy (not the one from my hero shsjfhd the other one the buff one) top the pink hair guy that is like a classic contender for the little one tops the pink one is the fandom really so reductive :(

Joe (Green hair) is large and bisexual and cherry (pink hair) is lithe and homosexual and SOMEHOW that's all it takes. it's bullshit tho Joe is so infatuated w cherry and cherry is absolutely a dom and they are both switches. fandom is dumb and silly 2 not understand my beautiful vision.

#mutuwuals #asks #matchablossom #and yea the fandom is EXTREMELY reductive #back when i read fic 4 sk8 i literally couldnt read 4 the main pairing 4 the show (reki n langa)#bcos langa (canonically head empty only simp thoughts) was portrayed as a fucking???? daddy dom????#as if hes not 18 yrs old and a virgin #it gave me such an ick #the larger sk8 fandom was big on stereotypes #which is why i mainly wrote fic and talked abt it w my friends instead <3

ilysm but you literally run a dnp blog you cant respond to that poll with "im not" if youre not over attached to their uploads then idk who would be 😂 /lh

aldhslfhsldbdlfhxlfhi was wondering if someone was going to call me on that tag anon. i'm telling the truth though i'm not overattached to their uploads! i'm normal attached to their uploads. these days i'm here because i love my friends who are here & because i love being right and they're so clearly about to do something.

dnp are a legitimate lifelong special interest so i'm not like.. faking caring on this blog, i'd never do that. but i'm not like, actively hyperfixated? i'm here because it's a place i'm happy and both dnp and the fandom are super active. i absolutely haven't even watched everything posted since the gaming channel return and if i was 5-10% healthier this blog would be mostly inactive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#my active special interest/hyperfixation is my & my friends' original stories #i'm here because this fandom will always be a home when i need it. i'm over attached to dnp yeah!#but i'm completely fine whether or not they post.#jam replies #anon #idk i just know my brain. there's a point where a hyperfixation is active and it IS all i care about and i'm overinvested but there's also #a point at which it is good for my health to be engaging actively with fandom even if i am not as interested as i once was. i need the #enrichment but there's a certain degree of passion missing after a certain point and it's absolutely not in Anything in my life right now.#before i made this blog in 2017/18 i was doing this with the advtr zone balance! before i returned to this blog i was doing it w the ravn #cycle and all fr the game & reading a lot of fic for inception ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this is a better space for me though

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)

i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise

#fandom culture has made me actively dislike shit i was fixated on a year ago. looking at your ninja turtles #its not even like what they were doing were particularly offensive it was just exhaustingly boring #im sorry i just really dont care about ur 2 million fics about leo being a sadboy. or one million seperated aus.#theres definetly a part of the whole situation in general which has been me coming to terms with my own internalized misogny #actively re-examining my tendencys to gravity towards male characters #idk maybe its making me dislike art more. but idk. ive always analyzed why i react certain ways to certain things. this isnt new for me #anywaays. i had been following a bunch of ninja turtle blogs and they sorta kept messing around with shows like ninjago too #and at some point i was just like. i dont know if these shows are actually that good guys. i think youjust like shows for little boys #and fandoms tend to shaft female chars so it sure helps that their casts are 98% male .#maybe theyre not your blorbo maybe theyre just Guy McAverageMan. thats not inherently bad but you have to consider it.#guys rottmnt is isnt even that good . its not that good ok. its alright/pretty good. and the movie does a few neat things #i feel like ive become one of those people that turn 18 and then immediately go 'minors dni'. im not there yet but i just.#we're watching kids shows. its ok . you can say it.#you may have noticed ive been reblogging a lot of dungeon meshi stuff. i read it all over the past week.#but here's the thing. i thought it was mid/good for like 70% of it.#i think its got some really really cool worldbuilding ideas and stuff #but i think a lot of the writing was sorta. uninteresting to me.#my discord friends have been raving over izutsumi for months.#but i found her presence in the story to be weird and underdeveloped. she felt out of place and her introduction felt clumsy #i felt when the story was ramping up the manga got a lot better. because again theres some rlly cool ideas at play #all the shit with the lion? incredible. the way all the infighting led to more problems bc the elves refuse to explain anything? rlly good.#marcille landing in power? reallly good shit. (i still thought it was a lil undercooked still tho)#i cant stop thinking about laios in that climax scene. i think he shouldve been feral a lot more often #uhh. i got distracted. fandom bad and annoying.#saw a post talking about marcille realizing izutsumi is only 17 and then describing how 'omg shes a mom now' and i wanted to throw up #im done. i swear. im done talking for real. aagh #text

I just got the sweetest comment on a fic I wrote like four years ago and it’s just crazy to me that someone still wants to read it

#I wrote that fic when I was like 18 #i completely forgot what it was about I had to have a look #I loved that fandom but nothing will compare to the metallica fandom #idk you guys are so kind and fun I love it here #but it still baffles me that someone wants to read something I wrote years ago #crazy crazy #jestalks

#I’m on a transatlantic flight this morning #(because when am I not on an airplane?)#I’d love to say I’m going to write a fic or two #but my Jewish history advisor gave me something like 12 books to read for our next orals prep session #and the prof I’m doing my Econ thought and theory field with wants a third of the list done by our meeting on the 31st #plus I still have so much to do on my 2nd year research paper #so no fun writing or movie for me #just 7-8 hours of straight Gerard Nahon or Carla Vieira #and then navigating the Tube at midnight with my suitcase for my sins #all on the 3 hours of sleep I got last night (I can’t sleep on planes too)#when I finish with my big second year obligations (paper is due March 18 and my orals are May 14) I need to hibernate #not the stones #me stuff

sometimes i wish i wasnt a guy who gets so exhausted from writing even 1k words in a day's work bc there are fic ideas up there man,,, theyre not Great ideas but they exist at least....

#contextually from tumblr i have picked up that there might be a naddpod fic renaissance these days #like when i joined the fandom last yr the a o3 was pretty slow-going and mostly c1 based #but i keep seeing posts here with fic links #to c3 stuff (and also still c1)#have i read any of them? unfortunately no #but like. hell yeah love it for the fandom #i think theres a lot of char study stuff on there these days??#which honestly usually i Love but tbh for naddpod i feel like i get more entranced by other things besides pc char study #which!! to be clear i still support and enjoy #but like. not as heavily in this fandom weirdly as i have in previous fandoms #actually? i lied #now that im thinking abt it i need 18 intense zirk character study fics #im one of those fucking 'i was born in the wrong era' girls but instead i mean i shouldve been listening to naddpd when c2 was airing #thats my annoying trait tbh #ineed intense character study. i t just needs to be about stella vervain.#ok clearly im still a little unwell even tho i went to work todya bc these tags are ramblier than usual even for me #idk what this is. sorry if u read thsi btw. usually my long block of tags are actually so woke and cool #i swear. fucking trust me bro pls #my best content is buried in tags usually. this is the exception. pleas come back . i promise i promise
