#I’m a multi fandom artist all my life lol

[kamigui]

🐰💜JAX💜🐇

Finally! It took me so long to finish this one, I’m too busy these days…

I have no time to draw my haunted house AU ;-; I’m so sorry… It’s supposed to be their moment in this month…

Too many assignments… I don’t have much time to sleep too… anyway, thank you for you guys supporting!

[rp-partnerfinder]

🫡💗🎉🕊️

Let’s live it up y’all I got some canon/OC and canon/canon pairings for a slew of fandoms I’m looking for, as well as some non fandom plots! All M/F pairings.

Here’s my general info: 26, she/her, multiple responses a week, but I can’t ever promise daily. Sometimes it happens though SOMETIMES. Real life comes first and I have jobs and blah blah blah. I prefer discord, multi para, past tense, 3rd person format.

I love smut, love dark themes, I love intensity, drama, romance, all of it baby. My limits are few but most be respected, and I’ll do the same for you.

20 and up please, I don’t care about your IRL gender, as long as you play a male against my female! All characters over 18 as well, please.

Okay, starting with fandoms:

SUCCESSION: Looking for a Kendall Roy (or Roman Roy, or Matteson, or Stewy) against my starving artist/anti-Waystar female OC, for a Romeo and Juliet inspired RP, info available on request. I’m BEGGING for this one. (happy to double up as Shiv in a pairing for you).

HANNIBAL: looking for a Hannibal Lecter AND/OR Will Graham, or Dolarhyde or Male OC against my updated/Fullerverse Clarice Starling (FC: Holliday Grainger), full google doc avail on request!

STRANGER THINGS: Looking for an Eddie, Billy or Steve against my female OC, info available on request.

FALLOUT: Looking for a Nick Valentine or MacCready against my Sole Survivor or female OC. Also open to hearing about your male OCs!

THE BEAR: Looking for a Carmy against my female OC, info available on request.

MARVEL: Looking for a Loki to my Sigyn, AUs and mischief are all welcome!

AND NOW FOR NON FANDOM PLOT WANTS:

PIRATES: give me a plot of a girl encountering a pirate (kidnapping? Friends from youth? Figured out some kind of mutually beneficial situation/deal?) and their unexpected relationship.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA: Inspired by the book and musical, a theatre "ghost" is enchanted with a young new muse - actress, singer, whatever. Could be fun to do this in the traditional time period, or try something in like.. the Italian Renaissance, or 1910s-20s burlesque.

CULT: any time period at all, but give me a cult leader lead to obsession by one of his brand new young members, making her the object of his affection and a prize to be won/toy to be played with.

Also interested in anything along the lines of WILD WEST, TITANIC, WWI/WWII, or ANYTHING HISTORICAL with a romance focus! Be that noir, fantasy, paranormal, some 90s rom-com vibes, whatever. Just… not of this current time period, lol

You got any ideas that go along these general lines? I’d absolutely love to hear them.

Go ahead and like this and I’ll reach out! I’m HUNGRY y’all, come play!!

2022 by astronautjin

it’s been a year since i got into kpop and created this sideblog and wow, it's been quite the journey. i'm just grateful for the wonderful artists i've discovered in the past months, the new fandoms and specially the wonderful people.

i will mention some specific people, but i shoutout to:

the armys who started following me when i was an exclusively bts blog and stuck around after i became a multi

caratblr for welcoming me into the fandom that i've enjoyed the most in my entire life

content creator, for all your hard work and talent, you're a constant inspiration

now i will mention some mutuals who i enjoy seeing in my dash:

@tomlinsun @eggjinnie @userjungkook97 @userjiminie @literalsunhobi @jinstronaut @leesjieuns @rkivedfiles @nosfelixculpa @lovehui @seunievrse @lesbianlovestay @hansolz @jeongtokkie @raplinenthusiasts @jeonwonwoo @junranghae @hoeranghae @moon-jun @kookjinnies @lgtbz @vampirehannie @kimsmingyu @isdokyeom @coupsnim @akhire @scoups @minghao-s @8junhao @pjmsdior @grvywaren @lovejoshua @usershua @joanwtsn @shuaseok @onewaylover @wonuj @kveom @mingyudk @y2kjungkook (i hope i’m not forgetting anyone, i’m bad with remembering urls 😭)

finally, i want to say that i really appreciate all of you and i hope this new year brings only good things to you. know that my inbox/messages are always open and i love to chat, but i'm shy. you can also follow me on ig where i post a bunch of kpop stuff that my irls are tired of seeing lol 

note: my main is @matchingbees in case you see that blog in your notifications/replies, that’s me lol

[hughgrants]

this is the only thing i’ll say about this

but omfg i’ve been distancing myself from involvement in t*s stuff for ages, i didn’t ever really get INVOLVED involved with the fandom, i follow/ed quite a few wonderful, lovely blogs, enjoy/ed their posts and content + little tidbits about ts’ life and the life of her fans, but i never went to a show. i had a chance to go to rep but the nosebleeds were insane (by my standards, not era tour standards lol) and i’m not the kind to get a subpar view for $200. anyway

i did witness the growing fandom criticism of her over silence on blm, possibly appropriative insertion of herself in lgbt issues (not debating if she did/didn’t, if she is/isn’t lgbt, it was just a conversation i was aware of), all of that. i saw black fans say hey she needs to harness her platform to address absolutely crisis levels of racism/police brutality. and i was listening. then crawdads happened, holy shit, and even if she didn’t condone the behavior of the author it seemed like a big misstep not to vet the project more carefully. working with david o. russell also seemed like a bungle. but i still read mistakes into these actions instead of intentional harm. the jet use blow up sucked but again it was unverified from what i understand even though it absolutely made sense based on her multi-city schedule.

the culture of misogyny that criticizes women for being open about hurts or feelings is bullshit and earned her 1000+ points from me on the basis that she is unfairly judged for behavior that men might get mildly ribbed for, if that. notice how the styles/wilde/pugh thing focused on embittered women, not the man. that atmosphere exists and deserves to be challenged by me and everyone who wants actual progress. so i admit i was predisposed to see the good.

but this healy shit? good lord in heaven. if a tenth of what i’ve read about him is true, and some of it from his own lips, that would be a total non-starter for me as a date or friend. just, really sick behavior. and it’s just the final “yeah ok this phase of my fandom life might be over kind of thing.” i’ve lost any connection to artists before over stuff like that, m*lanie m*rtinez, musicians/actors who were part of my childhood but have been linked to abusive behavior. for me there’s a line where i can no longer support and still feel good about myself. and that is no draconian value judgment on the celeb (it’s their life, they owe me nothing) or the fans (still lovely if you’re on my follow list!). the line is different for everyone, i just know when i get a nauseous feeling i’m out. and there is no perfectly pure celeb or artist or brand or project, but it’s just a lot and i’m a little nauseous just thinking about it

anyway i’m gonna be on some 90s witchy nostalgia bullshit for a while. and no i won’t be buying the third re-issue of an album with no conflicted licensing rights, i thought that was worth a chuckle even before the healy horrors lol. i enjoyed my early 2000s b-sides but largely consider that an up and coming band thing, or enjoyed one time release bonus tracks on a target press or something. not hating just thought it was a choice lol

[i-revolve-around-you]

I think it's about time I wrote a proper introduction post

Hey y'all, welcome to my blog! I'm a tumblr veteran but decided to start over on a new account recently. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

🎵 the basics 🎵

nick ~ 28 ~ he/him ~ bi ~ white author ~ musician ~ gamer ~ nerd multi-fandom/shitposting this blog will be (mostly) SFW, but i still would rather not have minors following me. i just prefer interacting with adults, sorry. it's not personal. my likes, however, will be N/SFW, so be warned

my messages and ask box are always open! feel free to hit me up!

more info (including other links, and a list of fandoms/things i like) under the cut

tags: my ramblings | my face

🤩 a bit more about me 🤩

heya! the name's nick. i've been on tumblr since like...2011 or so? i was really big into it in my college years (2012-2017) but after The Great Tumblr Porn Ban of 2017 I've sorta been drifting in an out. When The Great Twitter Debacle of 2022 happened, I decided to migrate back on a new account so I could start fresh.

this account was immediately suspended because of my side-blog. which was a bit too unsafe for work for tumblr's guidelines ig 🙄 not mentioning that they had just recently updated their policy and everything i was posting was PERFECTLY FINE under them but w/e

so i started another one lmao and that's the one that you're looking at right now! my other account has since been restored but at that point I was already situated over here so like. whatever i guess. lol

i'm currently 28, and bisexual. semi-recently out of the closed as bi, actually. for years i identified as gay, but over time i started realizing "actually...i do kinda like girls?" i still identified as "gay" cuz it was easier than saying "so like i'm bi-sexual but mostly homo-romantic but also maybe potentially demi-sexual but only when it comes to real people?" then around 2020 it just kinda clicked with me, and the label of "bisexual" just felt right

anywho you didn't come here for my full life story. here's just a little bit more about me:

i'm a total nerd. i love video games, playing Yugioh, DND (just starting to get into that one), etc. i'm a writer. i've written several fanfics (some of which i'm really proud of, some of which i'm...less), and have a goal of one day publishing a novel (my main genre is YA contemporary with queer themes and characters). i'm a musician. i actually got my bachelor's degree in music (BA in Music). my main instrument is drums/percussion, but i'm learning a bit of guitar and can play a little bit of piano. i'm also a composer/songwriter, though haven't been writing as much these days. if i write anything cool i'll be sure to post it here!

Musicians!Humphreys my beloved!!! So you alluded to them working with some of Lincoln Hawk’s old material, but apart from that, what genre(s?) of music do you see them working in? For Jenny I definitely picture rock, but also that’s probably because of Taylor Momsen more than anything else lol. For Dan I’m actually not sure - for someone with as many opinions on art and film and literature as he had, I can’t actually remember if he ever talked about music? I mean, with his upbringing and personality you have to imagine the guy would have some strong opinions, but I’m not entirely sure what they would be!

(Also this is an incredibly minor nitpick, but unless there was fraud, deception, or coercion involved in their marriage (or physical incapacity that was unknown at the time of marriage), Dan and Serena would be getting a divorce, not an annulment. The reason Rufus and Lily got their marriage annulled was because they were technically married under false pretenses i.e. an undissolved previous marriage. The whole short marriage = easy annulment thing is a misconception and, at least in New York, the rules are quite specific and pretty strict. Anyway I love literally everything else you wrote sjskfjfjdkd that is just one of those tropes for me lol)

Yesssss my kind of question! This is multi-pronged, so come on this journey through my thought process with me.

I’ll be honest, all these hcs are based off my own personal music tastes, but hey, my fic my blorbos my rules. Which is just to say, Momsen’s work with TPR isn’t really my cup of tea, nor is Badgley’s musical moonlighting, so that’s kind of…separate from how I’ve painted this all in my brain.

Music tastes-wise (I actually wrote meta for Ivy about this but it was sooooooo long ago, but I could probs hunt it down if you’re interested) I think both Dan and Jenny are the type whose taste is shaped SO much by their parents, and then as they became their own people, those tastes diverged and converged and evolved. One thing I think about a lot is a passing comment from Jen in s2 when she’s like…sorting the record collection? and she mentions Muddy Waters and when I first heard that my heart went !!!! bc I listened to Muddy Waters growing up too bc my dad LOVES that artist (self recognition through the other, etc.) so I think, in addition to the Lincoln Hawk 90s rock of it all, Dan and Jenny were brought up on a diet of blues, classic rock, and folk—think Laurel Canyon. (Some artists: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Nina Simone, Mavis Staples, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Pat Benatar, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley—Rufus and Alison actually would have been settling into the Brooklyn artist scene in the late 80s/early 90s when he was there too, right?—Simon & Garfunkel, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, I should probs stop now…)And another pet hc of mine is that Alison was into some country music, but like, the good kind—not this bullshit stadium country, but what my friends and I call ~Lady Country~: like Brandi Carlile and The Chicks formerly known as Dixie. Dan and Jenny both know “Cowboy Take Me Away” by heart. now I’m tempted to share my lady country playlist…

So for Dan, he grows into a pretentious music lover: we see him talk about Eliot Smith & Morrissey, and I think growing up he and Vanessa get each other more entrenched in their own pretentious tastes—he’s a classics and rock and punk and indie and folk guy. He sticks to the genres he deems as “Good” and it’s not really until Serena and Nate come into his life that he takes off his blinders. In his 20s, he doesn’t really have a set framework for what constitutes as “good music” in terms of genre, if it’s well-written, it’s well-written. He becomes a lowkey swiftie, not in a like, internet girl kinda way—he just respects her game, and he LOVES the geniuses behind boygenius, and, as we’ve established in this corner of the fandom, Hozier is His. Some other artists for him: Paramore (Jimmy Stewart was his first celeb crush but Haley Williams was his second), Frank Turner, Bleachers, Andrew McMahon and Brian Fallon (and all their associated acts), Lord Huron

Jenny has always just liked everything in the way that girls are allowed to/have to like everything. Her tastes range from the artists she learned from her parents, the poppunk overlap between her & Dan & Vanessa, her riot grrl rock, plus pop music, plus the indie finds she loves to sniff out. My Jenny playlist jumps from genre to genre like nothing else—actually, my blorbo playlists, I don’t really put something on there unless I think it is something that suita the character’s taste, so Jenny’s has Range, darling, and Dan’s keeps to his hipster-light taste, and Blair’s leans towards vintage sound, and Serena’s is poppier…anyways… Some artists that I keep in mind for Jen: Kesha, Halsey, Panic! at the Disco, Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks (and Fleetwood Mac), Amy Winehouse

Which brings us back to: what kind of musicians would this make them? In the post-canon fic-let that you responded to with this ask, I have a particular album in mind: In the Game, by Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill. It’s a collab between two very excellent artists—whose lyrics just scream dan & jenny to me. O’Neill just—she sounds like Jenny to me. She has this captivating, bluesy, raw kind of voice, she can be so tender, but wail when she has to. (and I think, if you were to strip her voice of the hard rock affectation she sings with—bc that’s her genre, no shade—Momsen would sound the same). And genre-wise, the more I think about it the more it fits. Bc this album is an interesting blend of blues & folk with a little bit of rock, and I think that suits, bc neither Dan nor Jenny would want to write music that sounds too much like Lincoln Hawk and their dad, they’d want to create their own thing, and what happens is a gelling of their tastes, starting in the overlap of their venn diagram, and stretching the other into branching out. In the way that Jenny loves listening to anything and everything, she is also down for trying any genre, but I think Dan—whose not a frontman like his sister and father are—would stick to his comfort zone, but his comfort zone is like, fantastic.

And there’s this note I made for this au—which will maybe someday become a fic?—that sort of defines how I hear them as performers. Jenny sings like she’s trying to pull the emotion out of the listener, to make them feel what she’s feeling. Dan sings like it’s the very words that are being pulled out of him. They’re both emotive, but in different ways; one is more…in your face, while the other is more turned inward. Artists that I think are like Jenny in this sense (it’s not genre-based, it’s more a vibe): tswift, Kesha, Hayley Williams, Brendan Urie, Mick Jagger, Brandi Carlile. Artists that remind me of Dan with this kind of emotive, lyrics led vibe are: Phoebe Bridgers, Hozier, Sara Bareilles, Jeff Buckley. Also important notes: Jenny can WAIL, okay? Like she has so much voice in such a little body. And Dan is really, really good at hooking into his falsetto at all the right moments that can make a person just— he’s not a belter like Jen is—her voice is undoubtedly bigger—but he has that command over his instrument. Like the way Hozier and Jeff Buckley and Brendan Urie can just — hook into their head voice and make a Moment? yeah.

I could go on about musician!Humphreys forever, so if you have more to ask, by all means 💜💜💜💜

And bestie. listen. I so appreciate everyone who has their pet centers of knowledge and information and is very into sharing them (see above) music is mine, but marriage law is not, so please, when a girl says she posted a thing after writing it in mostly one sitting and without any proofing, please give her a little bit of grace. ♥️

[palmett-hoes]

Do you have any fan casts or strong takes/feelings on the foxes’ appearances? Fandom tends to use the same Pinterest models, which feels wrong to me.

i do in fact! i've actually been meaning to make a post about how i choose to write all of the foxes' ethnicities anyway

but yes i absolutely agree that the typical pinterest model types u generally see on edits is not how i see any of them. nor is reece king or froy gutierrez or lucky blue smith one of my FCs for anyone

for a lot of them i don't necessarily have a single specific FC so much as i have like,, a general impression of features that i will see on various different people, who all may look wildly different from each other or who may not even look how i see the character as a whole but do have a specific feature i associate with them. mostly it boils down to the Energy i get tbh and that's just a Feeling i cant even explain

fun fact im a tiny bit face blind so that might account for some of why i'm so all-over about this

may as well go chronologically. some of them i definitely have more thoughts on than others

1. Dan

ethnicity: Afro Native (Sioux)

features: medium dark skin. buzzcut, killer fade. she often styles it in waves. she's very butch, wears a lot of basketball and cargo shorts, tank tops and flannels and jerseys, hiking boots. skinny but muscular, with a very rectangular body shape. defined jaw. probably like 5'4 or 5'5

FC/Energy: sometimes i get some dan energy out of janelle monae but more butch. lotta dan energy out of samira wiley. lashana lynch

2. Kevin

ethnicity: a lot of things tbd, but he's pretty multi-ethnic. i like the idea of kayleigh being half- or a quarter-japanese in addition to irish because it gives her more of a reason to go to japan for her undergrad. wymack is from d.c. which is a majority black city for its actual residents, but i also like the idea of him being Pasifika/Hawaiian. HOWEVER - and this is pretty important to my read of kevin's character - he's white passing, and has been mostly treated as a white guy who tans his whole life, like occasionally asked if he's italian maybe. learning that his father was a Distinctly Not White Man was a big shock to him.

kristin kreuk, lindsay price, phoebe cates, and marie digby are all half-asian actresses i base kayleigh on

i suppose i base his story partially on broadway actress carol channing, who revealed publically that she was a quarter black when she was like 80 years old. though maybe wentworth miller, a biracial actor who knows his father is black but also doesn't know him, is more accurate to kevin's story. then keanu reeves is a white passing actor with asian ancestry

also none of these people look anything like how i picture kevin lol. kevin is just like,, a guy. handsome ig. but kind of in a CW character kind of way

actually

kevin looks exactly like young jason momoa

3. Andrew

ethnicity: kayin/karen from myanmar

features: fat and muscular, very wide and heavy. this blog is basically all andrew body type refs. medium-olive skin, has a bit of a greyish tinge that makes him look a bit eerie or unhealthy. deep set, droopy eyes; looks so tired. flat face with a low-bridged nose. crooked teeth, especially his canines. natural hair black-ish but he bleaches it light blond. has the beginnings of martial artist punching callouses in his knuckles

FC/Energy: holy shit the characters i feel have Andrew Energy are all over the place. pedro pascal. babe ruth (yes fr). oddjob (harold sakata) from goldfinger. the jinn (mousa kraish) from american gods. gaear grimsrud (peter stormare) from fargo. takeshi kovacs (joel kinnaman) from altered carbon. and i wanna be clear, it's these characters specifically, and generally NOT the actors outside of that specific role. except pedro ❤️

4. Matt

ethnicity: cuban

appearance: matt has more of an Energy than specific features to me rn. that energy is Warm. he has that Warm bro jock dude energy. kind of a marvel hero build, hunky and muscular. very rectangular face. has this haircut:

5. Aaron

i get to cut myself some slack and not go AS in depth about aaron because he and andrew are identical twins

ethnicity: kayin/karen from myanmar

appearance: similar build to andrew, less confident and casual posture and body language. less apathetically murderous and more emotive expressions. better teeth bc his mom took him to the dentist. yes also bleaches his hair

celebrities: probably a lot like the difference between the characters and the actors. andrew is the characters and aaron is how the actors actually look. idk ive never looked at someone and thought 'hey! looks like aaron!'

6. Seth

ethnicity: have been going with half-vietnamese. considering looking into various south asian possibilities like pakistani

appearance: string bean build. that's all i have to offer

7. Allison

ethnicity: allison's very up in the air for me. she and seth are the two foxes i feel fine with being white, but im committing to having no white foxes sooo. i would say i generally see her as either half-middle eastern or chinese

appearance: plus sized and hourglass shaped. heart shaped face. taller, like 5'8 or 5'9. she has a pretty fraught history with her appearance and her parents payed for/pressured her into getting a nose job to have a 'prettier' nose. she also bleaches her hair blonde. she gets it done at a salon tho the twinyards do it in their bathroom

FC/Energy: elle king and nadia aboulhosn are my main inspos for her, esp body type but nadia esp in Vibes

8. Nicky

ethnicity: multi-ethnic. his mother is southern mexican Indigenous, possibly oaxacan. his father is mixed white/kayin

appearance: definitely takes after his mother while his father is white passing. dark brown skin, warm undertones. slightly stocky build. tall ovular head and thin aquiline nose. he's kind of just,, the opposite of the twins ig, so like their facial features look very different, which is a big part of why people don't make the connection between him and the twins alongside the difference in their skin tones, heights, and builds. nicky's build and features are very vertically-oriented, with a tall head, narrow-set eyes, thin nose with a high bridge, etc. the twins are horizontally-orienged, with broad, flat faces, wide-set eyes, wide noses with a low bridge, etc.

FC/Energy: yalitza aparicio, not a guy but one of the few Mexican Indigenous stars in the film industry and i really like her features for nicky. she's oaxacan

9. Renee

ethnicity: Black. african american

appearance: plus sized, circular/apple body shape. round face. dark skin. microlocs to a bit past her chin, bleached white and dyed at the ends. she and allison go to the salon together. femme but plain style, a lot of blouses and long skirts, practical shoes. knuckle callouses. about 5'6

FC/Energy: dominique fishback. tracie thoms, esp in RENT. gabourey sidibe. nicole byer, but not in Energy. brandy, for some reason, probably bc i think she has very serene Energy and is a little bit otherworldly. like if brandy played arwen or galadriel from lotr it would make perfect sense to me, and that's the Renee Energy™️

10. Neil

ethnicity: mixed. Black/Jewish on both sides. his father is polish ashkenazi and afro-brazilian. his mother is Black British and algerian jewish

appearance: very... sharp. like sharp all over. does that make sense? sharp features, sharp face shape, sharp angles to his body. he's got what i vaguely think of as a 'basketball build' not meaning tall but meaning very rangy and angular and lean. all limbs. seth has a similar build. lighter brown skin. he has waardenburg syndrome which is actually where he gets he gets his eye color, and his eyes are very large and widely spaced as well. freckles freckles freckles. freckles everywhere. 4a hair but at least during canon it's not very healthy and thus the curls aren't well-defined. he grows it out long enough to tie back and starts taking better care of it in post-canon. wonky, slightly crooked teeth, with a gap between the fronts

FC/Energy: now neil i actually have a ton for. mostly models which im a lil ashamed of bc i do try to draw more from athletes. alton mason is a main body type ref. mugsy bogues is good to see what i mean about the basketball build without the height. here're the boys: cykeem white, luka sabbat, désiré mia, Leo Hoyte-Egan, dylan hasselbaink, this beautiful stock photo model i've never been able to track down

i think about him every. goddamn. day.

in terms of like,, real ppl and not models: corbin bleu, especially during Jump In. figure skater elladj balde. rayan "ray ray" lopez from mindless behavior. A$AP Rocky a lil bit, maybe i just like his hairstyle idk

two more models i think are important: carissa pinkston and ralph souffrant

Somewhere Down the Line - 153k, 36 chapters

This story will always be the one closest to my heart. I wrote it over the course of two years and learned so much about writing (and myself) in the process. Not to mention that it’s also the first story that I had @lightofevolution as my beta! After working on it for so long, it felt like such a major accomplishment to hit “post” that final time 😊 (Yes, champagne was involved.) My heart still gets so happy whenever I see people read it because I really can’t imagine ever loving a fic more than I do this one.

Signed and Sealed -  26k, 6 chapters

Ahh, my accidental multi-chapter of the year 🙈 This story was intended to be a one shot, but I loved it too much that I never wanted to stop writing it. Single Dad Draco has always been one of my favorite tropes, and after four years writing in the fandom (which like, how has it already been four years??), it was about time I finally wrote a story that fell in that category! Plus, it felt good to finally cross off “You’ve Got Mail” AU from my plunny list after it sat there waiting for far too long. 

Blind Affairs of the Heart - 5k, one-shot

After binging Love is Blind during early quarantine, I was all too eager to write a Dramione story with a similar concept. (Sans the getting married part. I wasn’t going to make them go *that* far.) I’m not a very smutty writer, but I went for it with that fic, making it my first rated E fic in around two years. It was also really cool when @finepairingspodcast reached out to do an episode on this fic 🥰Though hearing someone else read your smut out loud can be a very interesting experience lol

one, two. - 9k, 4 chapters

This was another story that had been sitting in my plunny file for around a year and a half, which I actually started writing the original outline for while begrudgingly on my way to a first date 🙈(Fun fact: That failed first date dude gets a shoutout as one of the bad dates Hermione complains about in this fic 😉) I put a lot of story ideas on hold while life got hectic and I channeled my writing efforts on finishing Somewhere Down the Line, so I was really happy when one, two. was the first story I wrote as soon as SDTL was complete.

The Heart of Healing - 5k, one-shot

Oh, you mean another story crossed off my plunny list that was over a year old? (I’m sensing a major trend in the stories I wrote the second half of 2020.) Usually, when writing a story, I tend to hone in on a few specific moments and write in detail, but with The Heart of Healing, I took more of the vignette approach to span several months in the course of a one shot. It was a bit of a challenge at the start because my mind likes to fill in all those gaps, so I was really proud of how the end result turned out. (And a major shoutout to @mightbewriting who beta-kicked my butt on this one!)

Thank you so much to everyone who read any of my stories last year 💕

Five favorite works in 2020

I wasn’t tagged, but it looked fun, so I’m gonna do it.

Rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favourite works you created in the past year and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought to the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want.

1 - this Malex gif set with a quote from The Old Guard

2 - this edit of a Vlamburn pic Jeanine shared (the edit is even used as the profile pic of the official Malex playlist on Spotify, so that’s pretty cool!)

3 - A Kiss a Decade in the Making, 5K Malex fic. Alex and Michael are actors. They’re cast for the pilot of a TV show about aliens. They’ll play lovers on the show and have to figure out how to create chemistry in a kissing scene that implies they’ve loved each other for a decade (if this set-up sounds vaguely familiar, you’ve guessed correctly 🙃)

4 - Sweatpants Dick, 3K Malex fic. Ngl, I still think this is the best title for a fic I’ll ever come up with, you can’t imagine how much joy it gives me to receive AO3 notifications stating that XY left kudos on Sweatpants Dick. Yep, I’m 12 years old and this delights me. 

5 - The World will be Different and New, 7.6K Malex fic. My contribution for the Malex Secret Santa exchange. I really struggled writing this (note to self:  don’t sign up for fandom events with a deadline in the middle of a pandemic, your stress levels will be Through. The. Roof 😳) bc my muse is a fickle thing, but I finished it and I’m actually really rather happy with how it turned out. With Vlamis so adamant about making Dads!Malex happen, I even felt inspired to write more in this verse (Just a Couple of Dads Catching a Buzz, 1.2K), and depending on how things go, I might add more in the future.

I wrote a couple more Tumblr ficlets in 2020 (which I will move over to AO3 eventually, sorry that hasn’t happened yet, I’m old and slow and I forgot 🙈), they are all tagged my fic, so I’m not gonna list them separately. There’s some Belmanes in there, also a Michael Sanders ficlet (bc it’s truly the best of Malex AUs, thanks, Lynne!)

~*~

As you can see, I wasn’t overly creative this year. Roughly 20K of Malex is something others post in a month, but like I said, my muse is fickle and writing is hard.

I got recently inspired to write a new fic tho. That one would be longer and probably multi-chaptered (aaaah, why I doing this to myself???). I’m currently mapping the whole thing out - which I’ve never done before for any of my fics, I’m very much a *sits down and writes the damn thing in one go* kinda gal, but since this would be a. more complex story, planning is required to figure out what happens when. Exciting, I hope I’ll get to writing the fic eventually. 🤞

Regardless of my creative shortcomings in 2020, I’d like to thank everyone who’s supported any of my “original” (LOL, if you can call them that) works. Be it by liking/reblogging here on Tumblr, or leaving Kudos or a comment on AO3. I appreciate all the support so much, especially when it comes to my writing. 

As a non native English speaker, I tend to struggle with my writing (A Lot™, on top of the usual “omg this sucks, I can’t write a sentence to save my life 😩” woes comes the added pressure of writing in a language that’s not really my own, very much an imposter syndrome situation tbh), it means the world to me when I get positive feedback. 🥺❤️

Not tagging anyone bc I’m pretty sure everyone else already did this, but if you want to do it and haven’t been tagged yet, I’m tagging YOU specifically.

You Should Still Take Me Home

bellarke | modern au | friends with benefits/exes

Clarke and Bellamy fall into the "friends with benefits" dynamic in college, but when Clarke starts falling for Bellamy and stops their arrangement, it makes their interactions at a New Year’s Eve party a little painful - especially when Bellamy shows up with another girl.

This fic was part of the @bellarkejanuaryjoy series and I never expected it to reach this much popularity. it’s full of delicious angst (big surprise there) with a happy ending.

Most popular multi-chapter (by kudos)?

Lose You Too

bellarke | modern au | partners to lovers

Clarke and Bellamy, FBI agents - both too emotional to be level-headed in the dangerous situations they face together. Slow burn, mutual pining, angst, sex and these two idiots caring about one another. All the greatest hits.

This was my first ever published fic and again, did not expect it to take off like it did. I still have people reading it for the first time and screaming in the comment section about it.

Favourite story you’ve written so far?

Devil Side

bellarke | post apocalyptic au | strangers to lovers

Bellamy and Clarke face the end of the world but with their fears just at the other side of the door, they need to close their eyes and trust one another to make it out - together.

I literally can’t even explain why I love this so much. Post-apocalyptic au’s are my absolute favourite and I love how two people are forced together in a dystopian circumstance and the love grows out of fear/care for the other person. Bellamy falls over himself trying to protect Clarke and that is just something in a fic that GETS ME. This fic has an element of everything - co-parenting, angst, smut, found family, loss. I wish I could write it again, lol.

Fic you were nervous to post?

I Found Peace in Your Violence

bellarke | modern au | strangers to lovers

Clarke Griffin has it all. She’s popular, an artistic prodigy and has a wealthy family to boot. So when her perfect world comes crashing down around her, it’s time to sink or swim.

She tests positive for the Homicidal Tendency Syndrome gene, also known as the kill gene. Clarke is plucked from her comfortable life and placed into a school with people just like her - carriers, delinquents.

When she meets Bellamy Blake there, he looks like everything they say HTS carriers are. A monster, a criminal. Yet, he’s the one who protects her.

Clarke thinks existing in this school is the hardest thing they’ll have to do, but as the outside world falls into chaos, she soon learns that things can always get worse. At Mount Weather training camp, they’re made perform certain tasks that make them question who they are - make them wonder if they really are as evil as the world accuses them of being.

At least she has Bellamy. Clarke isn’t sure how they are supposed to be these violent monsters when they can do something so human, like fall in love with one another.

I am going to be screamed at for this because it’s quickly becoming my most popular fic, but I HATED it for so long. My fandom friends who had to endure me complaining about it will tell you, before I posted it, I actually considered scrapping the entire thing. If you’ve ever written a fic where it made you ask yourself if you can write at all, you’ll know what I mean! yet somehow, it won Best Alternate Universe Fic (WIP) in the @bellarkeficawards. the world works in mysterious ways.

How do you choose your titles?

mostly song lyrics. I listen to a lot of music and it usually strikes inspiration for a particular scene. even if it’s just one line in that song, it could inspire an entire fic.

Do you outline?

sometimes. if it’s a WIP or a difficult fic, I will. for nothing else only to help me keep track of a timeline or not to forget certain aspects. I tend to work better ironing out ideas with Ciara. She’s my favourite soundboard, lol.

Complete works?

16 on AO3, all bellarke.

In-progress works?

Two on AO3, bellarke again.

I Found Peace in Your Violence - I work on this whenever I get time. there isn’t many chapters left.

I Am Lost This Time - I will finish this eventually but I started it when I still had hope for canon.

Coming soon/not yet started?

I have a post apocalyptic au in the works that will be posted one day. I've also signed up for @bellarkebigbang again next year so I’m excited to start that. Then there’s about 15 drafts in my documents that maybe I'll finish one day.

Prompts?

not right now. I hit a milestone following on Tumblr a while ago (thank you all so much) and I was gonna write some epic fic requests from my best friends in the fandom but I literally can never find time to sit down lately so I’m thinking they may not be written (I am the worst ever.)

Well, I have only got back to creating for a fandom late this year, but here are the ones I love best among the few I've made.

there you are, and I run (WIP | 4/? | 27k words)

summary: The Steo Hogwarts!AU no one asked for.

(Lol, is that seriously what I put as a summary? 😆 Anyway, this is the only multi-chapter fic I have risked writing again since 2018, so this is pretty special to me. 🥺 Although I have been slacking again *sighs*. So to give a clearer picture, the fic is centered around the Triwizard Tournament and features Slytherin!Stiles, Durmstrang!Theo and Beauxbatons!Allison. I guess I pretty much gave away the champions for each school, huh.)

cardinal sins (complete | 7/7 | 4,345 words)

summary: Stiles, Theo, and the vices to end all vices.

(Okay, I suck at summaries because I just realized how bad that was 😆. Anyway, so this is not a multi-chapter fic, not really, because I could have just put this up as a one-shot, but well. So, this is a Seven Deadly Sins AU - is all I can say.)

demigod au (ficlet series)

summary: teen wolf characters as demigods...? This mini-series is steo with sterek because why not? 😆

(Anyway, I've only posted the ficlets here on Tumblr because I'm not sure if I'll write this with an actual plot yet. Although I've started to write things that are in chronology, I still do ficlets that are all over the timeline. So far, there are four ficlets in chronological order, three companion things, and seven profile stuff. Is this cheating because this is technically more than one? Haha. Also, for some reason, the link for this doesn't work on my mobile 🥺.)

command me to be well (ficlet | 1, 692 words)

summary: “What happens if I turn out to be the wrong kind?” Stiles asks Kira one night, in the middle of video game night at her house.

Kira is focused on the screen, but she echoes Stiles. “The wrong kind?”

“A dark fox,”

(Yes. There is no actual summary. I just copied this from the ficlet. 😆 But this has stira brotp in it, so this is an easy pick. 🖤)

witching hour entry (ficlet | 717 words)

summary: “My heart ceased beating with him in it,” Theo tells him. “He breathes life for me, and I survive only to wait for him. I assure you, it will endure a thousand more if it has to.”

(This is what I like the most of all my spooktober entries because it's inspired by a favorite poem 🥺.)

Tagging: @iwritesinsnotstraightlines, @thominho-incorrectquotes, @cescalr, @hidanilein, and everyone else willing to do this 😊

HI, I’M DOK!

WHO AM I? Hey, i'm doktor! i like long walks on the beach, money, and everything pink

WHAT’S MY JOB? i'm an artist for the monster prom team, so my tasks can include any draw that needs drawin. but i'd say my usual work consists of models/outfits, illustrations, and other sundry art. i think my favorite bit of art that i've done to date is also my least favorite, the multi-Damien model. my favorite because i got to draw Damien (or parts of him) like 6 or 7 times and pack the model full of fandom jokes! my least favorite because although i, like frankenstein, lovingly stitched this sullied abomination together and brought it into the world, i also loathe and fear it!

HOW’S WORKING ON MONSTER PROM? being on the team has been great. that's not to say it's never been without its struggles, but every job's got them. it's challenging and always pushes me to improve as an artist. my coworkers are fantastic people who make the stresses of the job much more bearable lol. i had the pleasure of meeting some of them recently and they were all just as cool in person. monster prom has brought me many close friends and fun experiences, and i'm very grateful to be involved in it as both a fan and a dev! it really has changed my life :)

[t100ficrecsblog]

an interview with @queenemori (she/hers)

what are you working on right now? I recently started posting We Don’t Need To Say It, which is a multi-chap Memori actor AU. It’s a slow burn, don’t ask me how I looked at Murphy and Emori and decided to write a slow burn, but it’s what’s happening. I really do mean slow, the chapter I just finished writing is only the beginning of the angst, you’ve been warned. My beta tells me she hates me at least once a chapter if you want an idea of how angsty this is gonna get. I started out writing for Bellarke in this fandom, and I’ll be going back to that later this summer. Anyone who follows me knows I’m obsessed with Emma, and I have an Emma Bellarke AU that’s in the outlining stages currently. I’m hoping to work on it more once I get further into this Memori fic.

what’s something you’d like to write one day? The fic I’m working on now is actually the thing that I was like, “I want to write that one day”. I love actor AUs and I wanted to write one for some fandom at some point, and in January I got this idea, but I was working on other stuff, so I was like, well maybe I’ll write it this summer. And now I am! Though I would like to write something featuring dad!Murphy in the near future.

what is the fanwork you’re most proud of? It’s actually one I haven’t published yet! I participated in Bellarke Big Bang this year, and I wrote a soulmates rom-com fic. I’m excited to share it soon once we get the go-ahead, and the artist I got to work with @clarkeindra has made some amazing art to go with it! For ones that you can actually go physically read, I will say You’re Already Breaking My Heart. It was my first fic I wrote for t100 fandom, and also the first thing I wrote after a really long time of just not writing anything, so I’m proud of it for getting me back into something I love and I’m glad that other people seemed to enjoy it. It’s what got me more into this fandom in the first place and how I made some of my first friends.

why did you first start writing fic? I got more into writing around the time I started college, though I always used to write little stories. There were a few times I almost wrote fanfic before then, like the time I almost wrote a Glee fic in ninth grade, or the time my junior year of high school where I almost wrote a Downton Abbey fic where Sybil and Branson were pen pals while Sybil was on her nurses course in season 2. But the summer before college, I wanted to write, and didn’t have any ideas for characters, but I had just read a really amazing next-gen Harry Potter fic called “Potters, Weasleys, and Misguided Snogging” which made me ship Scorpius Malfoy and Lily Luna Potter, or Scorily. So I started writing a couple stories specifically for that ship, back when I still used FF.net. It was just a one-shot and a multi-chap I never finished, but it was fun to interact with people and get to hear what they liked about the story and that they hoped I continued it, so I guess I caught the fic writing bug then.

what frustrates you most about fic writing? I wish people would leave more kudos. I’ve had this discussion with some friends before where they’re like, “What makes you leave kudos on a fic?” and I leave kudos on most fics I read, so it’s very interesting to hear people say they don’t do that as liberally as I do. If I made it to the end of the story, I’m probably going to leave kudos. The writer kept me engaged long enough to get to the end, which I think is worthy of showing some sort of support, even if I don’t leave a comment. Though I am trying to get better about leaving comments more often. Kudos are a very low stakes way to show you like a story that someone put out. Afraid to comment, but want to show the author you enjoyed reading? Leave kudos. A couple of stories I have out have gotten a fair amount of hits, but the amount of kudos in comparison to the amount of people who have probably opened it is a little disheartening. I’ve also heard people say they don’t want to leave kudos on stories that have been out for a while, but I love to get kudos on my old work! It’s fun to see that people are still reading things I put out in like 2017 or even just last year. Kudos brighten my day just as much as comments do sometimes, especially when I know not everyone feels comfortable leaving a comment!

what are your top five songs right now? The answer to this is 98% always related to what I’m listening to when I’m working on a certain writing project lol.

Sweet by Cigarettes After Sex Heartbreak Weather by Niall Horan I Will Follow You into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie Bye-Bye Darling by Borns Fire for You by Cannons

what are your inspirations? Red, White & Royal Blue, since I read that recently. It honestly just made me want to write a movie, and I kind of hope that whatever TV or movie adaptation it ends up getting in the future I’m able to work on. I want to be a screenwriter, so I tend to get inspired by TV a lot. The Mindy Project, Insecure, and even Never Have I Ever are big inspirations for me. Or more like, anything that Issa Rae or Mindy Kaling are involved in, to be honest. I write a lot of modern AUs, so just anything that shows good relationship progression or has fun with mundane, everyday situations.

what first attracted you to Memori? what attracts you now? So fun fact, I stopped watching the show for a bit. I binged basically two seasons in a weekend while visiting a friend in like 2017, and I enjoyed it, but I wasn’t obsessed? Then I started s3 and a bunch of characters were getting on my nerves so I put it down for a while. Then I was on Tumblr at the beginning of 2019 and saw a gifset from 3x05 of Murphy and Emori kissing and I was kind of like, “That guy’s still alive? And he has a girlfriend?” So I started watching again, legit only because I was shook Murphy had survived lol. So the thing that first attracted me to them was just the fact that they were a couple at all, I guess. I’d say now that I’ve rewatched the show and seen their relationship develop, I love that these are two people who have always had to fend for themselves and kind of had that “me against the world” mentality. And then they find this other person that cares about them and wants to take care of them, and life becomes a lot less lonely. Also now we get to see their relationship after years together, so they’re very domestic, which adds this lovely sense of normalcy on this post-apocalyptic sci-fi show that I absolutely adore. Their interactions especially in s7 just read as a married couple who are very comfortable with each other, but still incredibly devoted to one another and in love.

Besides Memori, what character or pairing do you like best on t100? For ships, I also really like Bellarke. When I was more casually watching the first time around, I didn’t have much of an opinion on them/didn’t really ship it until season 4, but ever since then I’ve been on board. It’s very clear I’m a huge Memori person, but I do ship Murven, though mainly in AU settings. And Memoraven are my OT3!! My other fave character is Bellamy. And I feel like Gabriel has also quickly become a favorite for me. It’s definitely a mixture of his confused, but obsessed with science vibe on the show and the fact that he has been very fun to write in my actor AU when he makes appearances every so often.

why did you decide to start writing for bellarkefic-for-blm? Ever since I’ve been home due to the pandemic, writing has kind of been my escape. Weirdly enough, I’ve written so much (both fic and some real life stuff), even though I’m still working and everything like that. And when the BLM movement was getting a lot of traction specifically in our fandom spaces, I was immediately skeptical of people’s intentions because as a Black person in America specifically I’ve seen this happen before where all the attention is on this issue for a couple weeks and then everyone goes back to posting what they normally post about. And I guess this time things are a bit different, but the thing that began to frustrate me was seeing people shame others for saying they were going to watch the next episode of the show or for working on their fanfic. Fandom spaces have been my biggest escape from the news since March and while I was glad people were focusing on this sort of thing, I kind of hated the way people were making it out to be like this was a new issue when in reality it’s just my life. When I close my laptop and go out into the world, I’m still Black. I had considered opening my ask box up for prompts in exchange for someone donating to a bail fund or something like that, especially since I had just reached a follower milestone, but when I saw that Sam was organizing this and it was going to be an ongoing thing rather than just for a certain period of time, it was heartening to see someone realizing that this isn’t something we can just stop talking about even when the media moves on. The structure of these prompts makes it so that a person has to do a bit of research on BLM and educate themselves or confront the issue in a way they might not have had to before. And it gives me a chance to write things like my fluffy Memori wedding fic ! It’s a way to have my little fandom escape and also stay aware of what’s going on in the real world.

what’s your writing process like (esp for prompts, chopped!, etc)? I LOVE outlines! The Virgo in me loves to talk about my fic outlining process lol. With some short one-shots, I tend to just go in with a sentence or concept that I write at the top of the document and just write and see where that takes me. I also put at the top of the document all the things I want to tag it as when I go to post to AO3, so I don’t have to spend too much time thinking of those when it’s time to post. With multi-chap fics, I first make an ideas dump document which is just me typing out a bunch of thoughts, things like who’s in it, the premise, stuff like that. My actor AU has three preliminary documents: My ideas dump, the actual outline, and then the outline for what happens on each season of the TV show the characters are all on, since I reference those plot points a lot. For things like Chopped or prompts I receive, I do a mixture of the outline/ideas dump in one document. I put at the top all the information I received (so with prompts I tend to just copy/paste the ask from my inbox, and for Chopped the different tropes and theme), then think about what characters I want to use if it wasn’t specified, then kind of do bullet points on what happens in the story. These have all been really helpful in terms of keeping me on track, but I make sure to remind myself that things can change as I write and take a different direction than I expected. So my outlines are constantly changing, but the general idea is already written somewhere so I don’t get too stuck.

what are your thoughts on dad!murphy? The concept of dad!Murphy has really been living rent-free in my brain since before the beginning of season 7. I just kind of love the idea of Murphy (who is a character at first glance I feel like people don’t picture as much of a father figure) kind of falling into being a dad in an unexpected way, and then realizing how much he loves it. It’s just such a sweet thought, and I talked about it so much with some of my friends, that we started a Dad!Murphy Enthusiast Club server on discord (we’re always accepting members so DM me if you’d like to join us!). We just kind of talk about our dad!Murphy headcanons, share fics featuring dad!Murphy, and then get excited when people make new dad!Murphy content. It’s a fun time and though I am a very large Memori, I’m a multi-shipper at heart, and Murphy is one of those characters that I find easy to ship with a lot of people, so we love dad!Murphy in all forms!

what are some things you’d like to recommend?  This is a mix of Bellarke and Memori stuff, since that’s what I mainly read.

Literally everything @mobi-on-a-mission writes, but if I must get specific, then Revive and The Cockroach.

Steven Universe Gemsonas/OCs!

Hi there! I’m Bennie, 23, and looking for 18+ partners to write Steven Universe OCs with! My time zone is GMT-6/CST and my roleplay medium is email. All my characters/characters involved in romance are adults, so I expect that from you, too!

I’m looking mostly for f/f in terms of romance, but also like writing m/m! And anything with nonbinary characters is good - Gems don’t really have a gender, anyway. Any kind of pairing would be fun, too! Rebel gem x Homeworld gem, Gem x Human, Half-Gem x anyone, whatever the dynamic is I’m all for it. (Except Pearls and their owners or any dynamic like that. Idc how much growth the master/ex-master makes, I really hate slave/master stuff.)

I’ve got a real love-hate relationship with SU, but the main premise with the lore - an alien race of magical Gems - was always interesting to me. I should get this out of the gate, if you’re someone who doesn’t like SU criticism or hole-poking, we probably won’t gel! I really wanna get into the nitty gritty of gem life and that includes the political implications of giant colonizing space tyrants. Don’t get me wrong, I love the series, but I love overanalyzing stuff more, lol.

In terms of settings, I’m open to anything! Just before/on the onset of the Rebellion era or just during it, post-canon on Little Homeworld and dealing with following up on loose ends (c'mon, not everybody is going to be down with just turning a complete 180 on an authoritarian empire), or even writing a canon divergence with our own cast in the shoes of the canon characters.

Or something separate from canon entirely! Maybe the war goes differently. Maybe Rose was just a Rose Quartz and not PD at all. Maybe we have our own half-gem dealing with all this - or just a regular human who got swept along for the ride. We can take as much liberty as we want - the bottom line is I’m really into character arcs and world-building, so I’m bound to go all-out no matter what the case is, lmao.

I’m looking for someone who:

… is 18+. I’m down for writing smut and equally as down for fading to black, my main thing is I just want to write with fellow adults. Open to dark themes (especially during Rebellion era - I mean, it IS war) but we’ll have to discuss specifics.

… writes multi-para or novella. I can do either and am open to either! I like writing and really getting into a character’s head, hehe.

… writes multiple characters. I like writing casts, especially if they all have their own personalities and drives! I can double triple, whatever! The more the merrier in my book. Humans, half-gems, gems, even different Diamonds and courts - anything’ll be fun. I’ve got tons of character ideas, SU is one of those fandoms where it just gets those character creation juices flowing!

… can respond at least once a week. Similarly, someone who won’t get upset if I can’t respond daily - I have a job and a life outside roleplaying! If we’re doing multi-para I’ll probably be able to respond more than once a week, it all depends on the length.

.. is friendly! I loooove talking ooc and getting invested and just spitballing ideas or funny stuff about our ocs together!! I work as a digital artist so I'm for sureee gonna draw our characters, lol. I like shooting off videos or making playlists, too! I want to be friends.

If you’re interested, my emain is grincubous@gmail.com! Also, please don’t just email me with anything like “hey wanna rp?” - tell me about yourself and any ideas you’ve got! Gimme something to work with lol.
