Self insert Fandom

I've come to realise that most of the toxicity within the acotar fandom is often rooted in a ridiculous amount of self insert. They see a character as them, therefore their actions are absolved. They see another character in their abuser, or worse, 'as' their abusers and so they can never be impartial towards them, thinking the worst because in real life they've dealt with a lot.

I get it. Art can sometimes mimic reality, but they are indeed forgetting that this is a whole fantasy fiction book about human women turned fae getting dicked down with a hint of war and political intrigue. These characters are not, in fact, you or your abusers. Making the series so personal to themselves can then lead to a lack of introspection of the work as a whole made to be enjoyed and critiqued to the readers' preference, whether shallow or in depth.

But because this fandom in particular seem to make these books so personal than reading it as a piece of fiction, they're inflicting real world scenarios onto fictional characters and if their characters face any backlash or reasonable questioning, they take it as a personal attack which for some reason leads to insults and wild assumptions of very REAL people.

"No, no one is saying you should forgive your abuser mum, boyfriend, sister, because this literally isn't about you. I dont know you or your situation. Im talking about *insert character*."

"No, I don't think reactive abuse is OK, though I also don't believe lying about SA is OK either, let alone condoning SA."

"What do you mean it's abusive to lock someone up and then make an excuse to say it's not abuse to lock someone else up?"

The mental gymnastics is truly outstanding. If they're so called morally grey, let them be just that.

Speaking for myself, it's easy to find some commonality in a characters personality. It's written by a whole human who has a personality too, after all. But I do not attach myself to these characters as if they are my family members or those dear to me. They are, in fact, not real, and I will talk about them in the context of a fantasy text, generally.

Now the moment you take their actions out of a fantasy text, every character, and I mean, every character, needs to be dealt with the same scrutiny. Your faves will be called out and dragged. You cannot call real people names, but then think highly of yourself when your faves have done worse. What does that then make you? A racist? A misogynist? An AS denier? An abuse apologist? Someone who endorses apartheid? Someone who's OK with controlling the female body? A war criminal?

You see how absurd that all is?

Honestly, it's not that deep. But again, it's not bad to see yourself in character. Just realise that when people have some reservations about them, they are not calling YOU out. They are strictly talking about that character and that character alone. But maybe if you find so much offence, perhaps you should think about why that is. Look deep and figure out why it troubles you so much. Perhaps they're holding up a mirror, and you simply can not bear to look into it, seeming that that character represents you so much.

I think this is the only fandom I've been involved in where simply daring to disagree with the main MC and side characters can lead to online prosecution and just so much hostility. I've seen some truly nasty comments, and it's boggling. I can imagine how off-putting it may seem to newer readers.

I long for the days when people can talk about the characters and narrative alone without feeling the need to make disclosures about what they support in real life because it's truly unnecessary. I thought reading fiction was meant to be a form of escapism, not defending my moral standpoint.

If I said I enjoyed Katherine Pierce, Klaus Mikaelson and Kai Parker from TVD, what then? They're despicable, but fucking enjoyable. Don't get me started on Game of Thrones characters.

Alright, I'm done now 😅

[idkwhatimdoingherehonestlyy]

If your taking requests and are comfortable with it could you write World 42 Miles Morales x fem! reader

Reader has a neice that can't sleep so she puts some music on and dances around the kitchen with her neice in her arms and maybe Miles joining in until the little girl falls asleep

(if it isn't too much to ask but for the song to be rechazame and for skin colour to not be mentioned {I'm Slavic tho💕})

LATE-NIGHT DANCING - MILES 42

A/N: I meant to start writing this a while ago bestie! I'm sorry for the wait, mental health hasn't been treating me the best <3!

Song lyrics will be in blue!

BE PREPARED FOR: SUPER FLUFFY STUFF, SONG LYRICS, DANCING, AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF

It was 11:00 PM.

You agreed to babysit your little niece to snag a little extra cash from your sister.

This leaves you stuck in this predicament, her screaming refusing chants as you try to get her to go to bed. So you just give up.

Sitting her down on the couch, you reach for your phone to make a call to your boyfriend.

It only rings twice before he picks up.

"Yo wassup ma" He says over the phone with a smile on his face.

'I need your help" You groan in frustration. "I have been trying to get *niece's name* to sleep FOREVEERRR, and I can't!!" You start screaming, random rage hitting you.

"Damn, chill girl. I'll be over dere in about 15 minutes, you think you can survive that long?" He taunts, slightly chuckling at his own joke.

He think he so funny...

"Ok. Thanks, baby, see you soon" You say as relief washes over your body, knowing you were gonna have a pair of extra hands.

**TIME SKIP**

You hear a knock on the door and immediately rush to it, smile beaming on your face.

"MILES" you scream jumping on him. you knew he was coming you just missed him so much.

"Woahhhh, hey. Te extrañé demasiado ma, eres tan linda." He chuckles hugging you back

"Wheres *nieces name*?" He says looking around

"On the couch watching her tv" You direct to him with a stressed tone.

He walks into the living room and immediately she's jumping up and down.

"m-miless your hereeeee i miss you!" Even though shes very young shes very literate for her age.

"Yes princesa, im here. So now I need you to explain to me why you keep avoiding your bedtime when Auntie Y/N is trying to put you to bed..hm? He crouches down to her level, tilting his head to the side, with a little pout.

"jus not tired" she whispers pouting a little.

"I got an idea!" He stands up quickly, grabbing his backpack and pulling out his JBL speaker and his phone.

"You up for some dancing *nieces name*. He asks her with a huge grin on his face.

"dance!" She screams excitingly.

His head whips over to Y/n with a smug look on his face as Recházame by Prince Royce sounds throughout the house.

He picks up your niece and walks toward you "Trynna dance wit us ma?" He furrows his eyebrows in question

"Why not?" You say as you start giggling.

Ay, recházame Es que no puedo aceptar tu amor Ay, olvídame Aunque nos duela, hay que aceptar ese dolor

You start laughing when Miles grabs your hands and yall start to salsa, Its so hard to believe, A boy who kills people for a living is in your living room dancing with you and your niece.

Nuestro amor Tiene que terminar aquí Yo no quiero, pero es así Aunque me duele el corazón, oh

You gasp as he dips you real quick and spins you around. Your niece just jumping up and down, happy to be there.

"Damn Miles I didn't know you were the type to salsa" You tease

"Don't put me in a box" He replies chuckling.

Y entiende Entiende, corazón Y, ay, entiende Entiende por favor No, no, no, no

You pause when you don't feel the little presence of your niece.

"Where is-" Your words cut short when you see your little niece snuggled on the couch.

"Guess she couldn't take the heat" Miles jokes walking behind you to look at her.

You pick her up gently and walk her to her room, so she can be settled in her bed.

You shut her door behind you once you finish putting her to bed and step out of the room."

You sneak up behind Miles and hug him from behind "Thanks so much I really needed that" You say softly.

"You good, no need to thank me I'll do anything for you." He says resting his chin ontop of your head.

You can't help but crack a smile. You love Miles Morales.

THE END

[regular-gnome]

I adore your Archivists and the lore you make for them and their personalities and relationships between each other and Collector! You don't paint them as Good but misunderstood or cartoonishly evil.

They are god-like entities and their morality system and values are way to different for mortals to easily relate and understand. And good luck for them to not grow up with an issue or two and then proceed to raise a young collector with no problems =3

Also a question if you don't mind👉👈(sorry if you already answered it, my memory is bad TT) So all five of them are collectors(and they are the only ones of their kind), the siblings have a different name for their group why? And our Collector's name is the same as species or will he have something his own later like others when he is older?

The empty, uncaring void filled with extinction and destruction is not a place where kids grow happily without any lasting issues and from a mortal point of view - a weird perception of good but they are trying

I don't think anyone has asked about this one yet! Their names are related to their identity and that connects to their history; they don't really use individual ones, but rather what describes who they are.

I've put the reasoning and my stab at the lore under the cut since I thought it might be a bit long and not everyone into it (and I just figured out how to add the read more cut so im gonna use it)

They are not the only ones in existence; they are just in this part of the galaxy we see. In the beginning, when the universe wasn't as expanded, the Children of the Stars were closer to each other, exploring the young galaxy together and living among other living creatures - mortals.

After the extinction event that left the children alone on the barren world, they decided not to let it ever happen again. They began collecting life from the surroundings and spread it to uninhabited systems, later establishing the first archive to help with it. Thats when they started call each others collectors, and after creating archive those collectors connected to it that cared for and used it were archivists. It didn't go fantastic, they were young figuring things out on the way, the lessons they learned got contained in the Guidebook everyone took. At this point, they also realized that everything they were doing was not enough. The galaxy was too vast, with too many worlds facing their ends too far apart. They separated making own archives, now too far away to ever really meet and find each other.

On how it realates to names. Collie is a kid, they are a collector so The Collector, they live around the archive but it's not their responsibility at this point -it's The Archivists. As Collector grows up and becomes an Archivist they can take a specific set of tasks and be associated with them taking on a title. However, this also means that titles can change.

The first sibling in the story, after establishing their archive, was just named The Archivist. When another collector grew up to help, they divided roles, with Curator handling organization inside the archive and Naturalist handling "ground work". Later, the tasks of the Naturalists were divided, now becoming Anatomist and dealing with the living environment and Architects handling the unliving aspects . Following Archivist became The Wayfarer, responsible for keeping track of every collected place and noting any changes they undergo. They scout out planets that are to be added to the archive.

I'm not certain what Collie would want to do in the future. I think they might be inclined towards tasks related to being around mortals as they are pretty social, so they could probably take on some responsibilities from Anatomist and Wayfarer. But, I can't say for sure what title they might take

And here's a fun little aspect: the universe didn't stop expanding. The places their archive reaches keep getting further away and more advanced systems, so planets that are more than basic fauna and flora are more prone to collapsing. At some point, probably when Collie is an Archivist, the archive might have to split, and the names will shift again

[bidisaster-peanut-romano]

soo hi everyone!! i'm back on my bully essay/meta/something writing!! sort of. i did this.

anyways anyone who's been on this page for some time know how from time to time i have insistently mentioned the parallels between lola and peanut, right?

welp! that was a joke but the time has finally come!! a super-pretentious essay just for the fun of it!! (and also bc i haven't been writing actually argumentative texts in like months perhaps a year, so. yikes, i really need to practice again)

word count: 2.2k WOAH. IM SORRY

i, in my corner, with my monstrous needs. — susan sontag, as consciousness is harnessed to flesh

take this quote both as a title and an anticipation of what is to come. the essay will be distributed analyzing first the dependence of each of them on johnny, to then draw comparisons. i'll make sure to steer as away from headcanons as possible, sticking closely to the source text. obviously, some things' interpretation might be ambiguous, but, you know. your usual occupation hazard.

also, a disclaimer before we start: while they are psychologically complex and there is always a mimetic intention in developing them, these are fictional characters, and, as such, their primary function is to be vessels for different themes, questions and so forth. therefore, i will prioritize meaning and themes over moral implications and similar elements.

i. peanut

for how much i can adore talking about him, the way peanut depends on johnny is very much on the nose; worn on his sleeve, even. in 11:11 minutes of voice lines, he mentions johnny 30 times.

many interpret this as the caricature of a boy crush, but i have reasons to believe it is much less cute than that.

the problem is that, really, more than trying to identify specific situations... peanut seems to rely on johnny for a significant part of what he does. when he does good at dodgeball:

Look at me, Johnny, look at me!

almost like a child calling for his parent's attention to be praised. he calls johnny's name when he's going through hardships, when he's scared or when he's sad.

more than someone he just loves, johnny is a point of reference. whenever there's something going on, whenever he does or has to do something, his first thought goes to johnny; vice versa, what johnny asks of him is his priority.

I gotta tell Johnny! No time. I gotta see Johnny now. Gotta help Johnny. What can I do next to please Johnny? I mean Lola! I mean…

(this also goes in a "negative" direction, envy being the other side of the medal to adoration. especially because, in some way, this reliance on johnny might be felt by him as emasculating, and, being johnny his model of masculinity, adding it to the napoleon complex thing, it's not hard to guess why it can be so unpleasant. we can see this manifest through some of the things he expresses in regards to lola- not as much an interest he has towards her, but the interest he wishes to have from her- which are a bit more different than it might seem at a first glance. but this is a mouseketool we'll need later. still:

Last time I saw her, Lola made eyes at me, not Johnny!

do we really need this part? heh. i'm not sure, but it's always good to point out)

(also, just because, for the purpose of this analysis, it might be useful to specify: while these sentiments are very much implied in peanut's canon quotes, we have no evidence in canon in what measure they are reciprocated by johnny. the fandom has universally agreed that johnny also views peanut as his Best Friend In The World; while in some measure, they must be at least a bit close, i think it is even safe to say, given the caricaturist nature of bully's characterizations, that johnny holds peanut in less consideration that peanut deludes himself into believing. quoting another post of mine, the kids who show some level of obsession towards their leader mention him on average ten or less times (gord mentions derby eight times, parker six times, kirby mentions ted five times). the leaders don't usually make names at all, that much is true; however, peanut mentions johnny 30 times, and, even in front of this proportion, johnny mentions peanut 0 times. just to make that clear)

overall, what undeniably shines through his voice lines is a feeling of general inadequacy, whether about his height, or his strength in front of a bigger adversary. the audios in which he tries to show off range from being disingenuous, to straight up improbable.

crossing what we have until now said, it is not hard to come to the conclusion that he really tries to make up, to fill this empty feeling of inadequacy by taking pride in his role as johnny's second in command.

while i am a big fan of bully's characteristic of having left much content out of the main game, leaving the gamers to dig it up for themselves, i do believe that scrapping some of the stuff that was prepared for peanut is a loss. we have a number of voice lines coming from chapter 3, in which it was heavily implied how important peanut's role as johnny's right hand man was.

for example, much like... all other seconds in command, really, he was to be followed and then fought in the rumble, before you could get to johnny, with the specific duty to cover his back. even his very first scene, the opening cutscene of chapter 3, i believe, is not to be underestimated. most of the other people, as far as i recall, call you when they need it in person; johnny, however, sends peanut. making him, de facto, an extension of himself, almost.

again, you choose the motivation. what is important, from a narrative point of view, is that peanut clings to johnny through these acts of service, almost making it the foundation of his personhood.

basically, he makes it so that, if he can't be of help to johnny, his whole self is fundamentally annihilated, giving himself completely to johnny.

ii. lola

with lola, reading between the lines gets a bit more difficult; first of all, because lola is much less transparent than peanut, her insincerity being a supporting beam of the whole chapter 3. secondly, whether she was done dirty by the creators or not, it is undoubted that being the perspective that of a teenage boy (namely, jimmy, but we certainly, as viewers, are brought to sympathize more with johnny than with lola) with all the prejudices it can bring with itself.

however, it doesn't mean that there isn't anything to work with- quite the contrary, actually. the issue with lola is that there is a certain amount of layers to get through before gaining a satisfying perception of her as a character. still, we're here to try our best, aren't we!

even behind the muddiness of her intentions and the manipulation she shows herself a master at, it is clear from the second we first meet her that what she does is in function of johnny.

to get through this mess with order, we'll start from an easy, measurable numeric information: lola mentions johnny in her audio files 19 times. which, we're assessed, IS a considerable amount.

we have extensively talked about the way her cheating patterns are a strategy not to succumb to the passive role of the girl in the heteronormative, patriarchal prototypical couple (there's a post here breaking down a lot of this stuff, if any of you is interested!!), so, instead of this, i want to focus on what lies beneath that behavior.

ultimately, the whole point is that lola expects and wants johnny to fight for her. whether is it because she feels taken for granted, or just because he can't perceive it if not through grandiose gestures like the rumble- your interpretation will work; she wants to see johnny fighting nail and teeth not to lose her, she wants him to show her that he wants her.

she's all about that attention, and she knows exactly what and how to do to get it. and i think this is especially clear when you compare the moments in which she knows there's no advantage she could go for; when she has understood that jimmy won't fall for her manipulation, when algie and chad leave her unsatisfied, when norton openly accuses her and antagonizes her - she loses her temper, lets go of that sweetened and/or flirtatious voice tone, abandons that specific kind of gesturing. she doesn't care anymore about obtaining something. she was actually angry, and she was actually upset that johnny had disappeared.

in some of her audios, she references johnny with some amount of fondness, as well:

Johnny and I were on the best date ever.

(there is also a voice line in which she says "He told me he likes me because of my personality. Isn't that sweet?"; due to it being a general chatter and not exclusive to one chapter, i assume it is relatively safe to assume she is quoting johnny. however, as i said at the beginning, we're trying to stay as close to canon material as possible, so, do your thing- and i'm open to arguments!!)

a considerable amount of audio files, however (which will lead us to our final point) is about her... calling for help for johnny, or stating, confidently, that he will come save her, or avenge her later.

Someone get Johnny! Johnny's gonna get you for this. Johnny is gonna kill you!

but wait... i have some sense of déjà vu...

You're gonna be sorry when Johnny finds out!

iii. two faces of the same medal

if i had to pick an effective image for a metaphor, i'd say that the thing about lola and peanut is that they are both dogs looking for someone to take their leash; we’re talking here about an exclusive relationship with someone they can rely totally on, someone we’ll call the Other (with a capital o, distinguished from just other. yes it is unnecessarily complicated i’m sorry).

for what my professor would call accidents of history, it happened that both of them found that Other in johnny.

each of them attempts at creating an exclusive relationship with the Other, one foolproof and fundamentally… perfect. perfect in the way that everything works like oiled gears, in the way that every next move is predictable, in the way that any accident will not break the created equilibrium. (even if, in the general sense of the term, lola and johnny's relationship is everything but perfect, it is in the connotation that we have established here. lola is aware that, no matter what she does, johnny will come back around. hell, the very thing that she does is aimed at keeping that balance; specifically, keeping him a bit on the edge, pushing him into a corner where he has to actively make an effort to keep her close.)

they both hide something they are ashamed of, regulating not only their actions and reactions but their very way of existing in the world, in order to keep that gear working, in order to remain in johnny's hand. lola hides that craving for a genuine and stable affection, dissimulating it with the cheating and the fatuous physical demonstrations of closeness; peanut hides his sense of inadequacy and complex of inferiority, by being the tough and reliable second in command.

basically, what they mean to achieve is a sense of security, the safety of not really being the one to lead but, at the same time, finding a purpose, other than a shield from the outside world that they are not willing to concede themselves to. like a... symbiotic relationship?? i was going to say parasitic, but, yknow. the Other does get some advantages, which are, respectively, peanut's acts of service and lola's capacity to boost johnny's pride.

now, of course, johnny is not aware of either of their play. which makes it even better, since, as we already said, both of their approach to the relationship needs some degree of insincerity.

like, i don't deny that johnny might be a good friend, or a loyal one. but he is an oblivious, prideful fuck who can't see past his own nose; he's got a tendency to make it all about himself - which of course goes perfectly with what we said about both peanut and lola making the Other their center, taking up, in a certain way, a passive role in the relationship.

this way, both of them aim at creating with johnny a relationship that is, in a way, codependant and conditional, in which the do ut des (their respective "service" ↔ johnny's guarantee of stability) creates the foundation of the very relationship.

this, of course, brings up the problem of exclusivity; on which, however, i prefer not to delve into too much, as this would bring us to the topic of their antagonism which... isn't really what i wanted to go for, at least not here. (it would risk bringing us a bit too close to my subjective interpretation and too far away from the canon, which i PROMISED i wouldn't do. however, someday i might elaborate on that??? idk , please do lmk if someone's interested around here)

i will, however, show you a diagram (it looks like a triangle- i guess it is, but it is VERY important that it is a pyramid, with a top and a larger foundation) and a quote, to wrap this up bc i think it is already WAY too long and ramble-y lmao. let me know what you think anyway, my ask box is always open <3

it almost feels like a joke to play out a part when you are not the starring role in someone else's heart you know i'd rather walk alone (i'd rather walk alone) than play a supporting role if i can't get the starring role -- starring role, marina and the diamonds

[the-cookie-of-doom]

hello~~~ i'm your secret saturn for the jeffffffffest event!

i have a couple of ideas for your gift, but first i want to ask a couple of clarifying questions so i can be sure we're on the same page:

In the Ghost MV, the Jeff we see as the soldier - in my head i've always called him the General, and have him marked as such in my notes. Is there a name you prefer for him, or will i stick with the General?

I know you left the DNW section blank, has anything come up that you think you would *not* want in it? if you do think of anything even after this, feel free to just sort of throw a post on the dash and i'll keep an eye out for it 😆

(btw in the middle of writing this i had a sudden lightbulb moment and now im so freaking excited to write this!!!!!!!!)

-🪐

ANON DARLING IM SO SORRY I FORGOT!!! I got this while I was in class and I kept trying to answer, but I was afraid of someone looking over my shoulder :' ) It got eaten by my drafts

I don't have any particular name for that character; I think I tend to call him Commander bc I like the sound of it, but honestly? I have no idea what his actual position is supposed to be?? I've also used Scientist, Officer, and straight up just Husband lmao, so whatever works for you, works for me!

I have no idea what to put for a broad DNW @_@ Honestly, I can be into anything if the writing is convincing enough/makes sense within the universe! I know that's not particularly helpful, but if you had specific concerns you could always ask about those? I also haven't formed too strong of opinions about the characters yet, the way I do for ships like KimChay. So I would say skim my ao3 for the kinds of things I tend to write, and that might give you a better idea? I will say I don't love first person PoV, unless it's an epistolary-style sections, like a letter or a diary.

I'm so excited to see whatever it is you've come up with, and again, I'm so sorry for not responding!!

Edit: actually, since you specifically mentioned the Ghost MV - don't make the Wife a jealous harpy? I'm fine with her being cold/morally gray/straight up evil, given she is a seemingly willing participant of the unethical experimentation going on. And I love playing with the dynamics that could exist between all three of them, jealousy included. But I guess I don't want to see her as an obstacle to the ship/made into a caricature. Idk how to explain it, but just. The thing that tends to happen to female characters when they "get in the way" of a ship, y'know? Whatever else happens between them all, she loved them, and they loved her. It was just ComplicatedTM

[rin-and-jade]

heya! wanted to ask a question. how do you front trigger an alter who you don't know much about? we had this one person in our system that went into dormancy for .. well, the longest time between all of us. they just came back after something stressful happened between one of us and the host (call that a coincidence). the host said that he did talk to them for a while before they just... disappeared again. we want to 'wake' her back up in a sense since the host believes she can help us tremendously. thank you! - 🍖

I'm pretty sure this answer will vary from people to people. So i'll try to use the middle ground between my opinions and from what i've heard.

I would say, parts will go dormant when their job is done, or think there's nothing else to work with revolving around its own skillset or something like that. If there is a reason for that same person to be back, by means of waking it up again, i'm not saying its right or wrong to do so because it depends on the situation and how that part (who got woken up) will react.

At first glance, you think waking her up is the only choice (i may be wrong) you knew of, so i will offer some alternatives and then,, the 'tutorial' for this. The rest is up to you to choose.

Finding someone else who is not dormant yet possess similar qualities that suffices your system's needs.

Establish a better teamwork as it also helps tackling problems that does not require a part with specific tasks or skillsets, everyone can do it,, but honestly i admit that some are naturally better.

Take it as a sign that it is no longer her job as it's your chance to be self (or collectively) sufficient. Atleast this is how i felt as people went to sleep, trusting us to continue on and learn.

Now, if you want to attempt the tutorial, i have two ways i could think of;

Calling out: it involves calling it's name or something specific if you don't know about the person (but chances are, it catches) awkwardly to the air and see if there's any response. This needs to be repeated, also check if there's any signs or response from it,, if not from multiple attempts you may want to consider stopping.

Gatekeeper way: im a keeper myself, so if you have one you can use my method as an insight. So, i should first know who is this person,, if its a person i haven't met i am going to rely on the other one who has ever met in forms of feelings and memory. Like touching a new ball and its own designated color, i attempt to get a feel around it,, how heavy is it, what does the texture feel like (basically means getting a feel of this part so i can jolt it awake and not get the wrong person) and i "tug" it awake, as how keepers do that when doing switches. But, one thing, it is harder than you think,, its like pulling a ghosty or semi physical rope.

With your questions addressed, i wish you it works well,, no matter which one you chose.

Disclaimer that this is not one-size-fits-all and that what i said is depending on my morals and priority, it looks different for others.

[cloverwood]

hehe questionnaires >:3c for those curious abt ol' cloverwood here

1/ Which category of alterhumanity do you belong to? I'm otherkin, therian and questioning archetrope

2/ What/who is/are your type(s)? (if you have any) I'm a shapechanger fairy otherkin, a white rabbit therian and im questioning wizard archetrope :>

3/ Do you experience shifts? If so, can you tell us your most common shifts and your strangest cameo shift (if you've ever had a cameo shift)? I do tho theyre often mild/partial. And are 90% phantom limb shifts, very rare i get mental shifts. However I believe that my brain is always in fairy mode so thats kinda why, i only rly get mental shifts for either my therian self OR other forms my fairy self takes (like wolf or deer etc). For phantoms my most common shifts are: pointed ears, fairy wings, fluffy tail (wolf or partial wolf form) or rabbit ears. I've also had hooves and more recently paw and maw shifts bc of more frequently being in wolf form.

as for cameos its hard to tell if any of my shifts are cameos bc as a shapechanger i take many forms but also experience what i call 'mirror shifts' or 'sympathy shifts' where ill take on phantoms or headspace of beings im seeing or watching. My nightfury form is an example as well as i experienced hoof shifts while watching mlp. I don't consider these cameos (im not even sure if i rly believe in the concept for myself) but rather just an aspect of my shapechanger ID.

4/ How do you experience your alterhumanity in everyday life? Um, i find it doesnt rly affect me too much, or at least it doesnt feel much different than how it did before i realised. If anything, mentally, i feel like im returning to the headspace/mind i had as a child. Not necessarily being childlike but being more open and seeing the world with (what i call) secondsight. It's very rare that anyone around me would rly know if im experiencing nonhuman things unless i tell them. And the only times i rly tell ppl if im say around my partners and im experience strong/uncomfortable shifts just so they know for context.

5/ What do you think of the community? nnnnnyeeehggwueureeehhh ok so, i do love having a community of beings who experience these same weird things I do and to have names to put to feelings i've had for a long time. But i've only been in the actual community a few months and im already having to find that i need to carve out smaller, more selective spaces for myself (like discords) because trying to be active in a greater sense of community (tumblr tags mainly) i find quite stressful. But almost entirely for the same reason any internet community is stressful, Especially on tumblr and that is; everyone's obsession with black and white moralized discourse about incredibly nuanced topics that are honestly not-as-big-of-a-deal-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things-as-ppl-here-think-they-are. And it drives me up the wall. but hh i wont go into too much detail ill just leave it at that.

Basically the only issue i have with the wider community is the same issue i have with any community space on tumblr, not just alterhumans. And I'm gonna probably try cut back on how often im in the tags and just stick to posting OC stuff here and reblogging from ppl i follow.

Smaller groups, the irl nonhumans i know tho? great, wonderful, fantastic.

6/ What are the things that make you most comfortable and euphoric in your alterhumanity? hmm, being around my supportive peeps (humans and non humans) esp one of my partners (who has another nh partner) who's very encouraging of me expressing this part of myself! To the point where they do species affirming photography of us as art projects and its v fun (i have no finished photos yet but will post when they happen!) Other things i find v euphoric is wearing outfits that i find align to my fairyself, listening to my fairy music playlists and doing crafts and art things related to my IDs.

7/ Are you experiencing species dysphoria? Sometimes but it's not very strong, and when I do its pretty much only for my fairy self. I feel strong dysphoria toward my ears and my dream is to get their permanently pointed one day. but noone in my country does that procedure u-u

I do get waves of dysphoria for certain things, like not having my wings, or the ability to fly or not being able to shapeshift. But they don't often last long. Ear dysphoria is my sort of only long term thing. Outside of that, because i feel as though im a fairy disguised as a human i feel quite ok in my human body, moreso bc i love humans (and primates) so having a human and primate body can be quite euphoric in a sort of autistic special interest way. And attraction way too as I have a lot of features i find attractive in others.

8/ What advice would you like to say to a young alterhuman who has just awakened? Community is great but don't put your age on the internet!! and dont put your face or location on here either!!! Hell try and use a different name too! You can partake in community just fine anonymously! But please keep urself safe, it's honestly just good practice in general. The only reason i have my face on here is bc i have a huge ego lol.

as for actual n/ahaa stuff uh, idk i also just recently awakened but ill say; you have all the time in the world to figure yourself out, you are likely to go thru lots of different labels and views of urself. Its normal, its ok, it can be exhausting but it's kind of par for the course in being a young person lol.

9/ Do you have/want to have gears? YOS!! i haaaave big green fairy wings (which ill post nice photos of soon i prommy), i have sets of hang-on (?) elf ears, i have several kinds of tails, some real some faux (tho i plan on making more faux tails to wear bc id rather my real ones just be wall decor), i have several masks that i have made aaand i think thats it?

technically one of my fursuits is of a (mostly) white (demon) rabbit but i made him long before any of this and idk if i feel particularly species affirming while wearing him lol. But it is fun taking a different form so maybe it appeals to my shapeshifter nature.

10/ Do you know/have any theories about the origin of your alterhumanity? If so, tell us! (all beliefs are legitimate) ooh this one is fun but also long haha, but a good place to elaborate on what i briefly mention in my pinned post:

For my rabbit theriotype i feel its 90% imprinting. It's probably why i don't feel a super strong sense of it or dysphoria. i kinda describe it as like, if ur born in one country and raised in another u tend to identify more with the latter. It feels like i was born human but raised by rabbits. My first ever pet was a rabbit named Ruby and i was v attached to her, looking back it feels almost like a familial connection. Later on (while we still had her), we also gained more rabbits and bred them, so i was very interconnected to their life cycle (birth, life and death. plenty of death. rabbits love dying tbh) and so i've always felt like a large part of my brain or personality is just simply.. rabbit. I've just always been rabbit. I always drew myself as a rabbit furry or a human with rabbit ears and tail, just completely instinctually. It made me happy when i was a kid to think i was born in the year of the rabbit (tho as an adult i learnt i actually wasnt bc chinese new year dates oop) i always had buck teeth and was never embarrassed abt em. Idk i was always just... rabbit.

As for fairies~ well it gets complicated haha. There's def a lot of imprinting in a similar way to rabbits. My mum was big on fairies (had a huge collection of fairy figurines and introduced me to a lot of fairy books and things) and so i kinda grew up around their image as well. An author i read a lot as a kid (and would love a collection of as an adult) is Shirley Barber, she's an australian author and painter so idk if her work is popular outside of oceania but her work was super influential on me and my perfection of fairies. It's also the reason I use the spelling "fairy" over "faery" all are correct but the former is v nostalgic to me and feels familial in a sense.

I do also feel a spiritual origin for fairy too tho, tho i had only realised after awaking as otherkin bc that is what spurred me on to actually explore spirituality finally. And immediately upon doing so I got a sense from the fae i work with of like 'omg finally ur here' XD I get the sense im fae internally in a human body in order to serve myself, humans and faries. Tho my fairy-to-human relationship does shift and change, as fairies tend to do. It's a very fluid existence, some days im just a fairy disguised as a human, other days i feel half n half, sometimes i feel a bit like a human with fairy ancestry. also i use 'serve' loosely, i dont rly feel im put her with a purpose more just a general sense of like, bringing magic to humans and maybe protecting the environment but mostly just learning how to live. idk its v loosey goosey on this side haha. still working it out.

i don't want to reblog the post because im not really in the mood for dealing with tumblr activist. but i want to just put this information out there and hope this helps clear up some weird info thats going on re: steamboat willie

talking about nazis, dog whistles, and anti-nazism work

for those not following because they don't give a shit about the mouse, there is a horror video game coming out about willie currently titled "infestation: origin". it use to be called "infestation 88". a lot of people, including me, upon seeing the original name of the game got a bit of the heebie jeebies (along with some other information about the game i'll discuss at the end). this is because 88 is often times a code number used by neo-nazis. 88 or 8-8 stands for "hail hitler" as h is the 8th letter of the alphabet. the reason why neo-nazis do this is because by itself 8 or 88 is just another innocuous number. if some person points at something that has 88 in it and says "thats nazi bait" a lot of people will say "what the hell are you talking about?". this is on purpose, this is how dog whistles work. they turn something rather innocent or without context into something heavy because it gives them plausible deniability when they get called out for it. and its important to remember they nazis will use that plausible deniability ALWAYS. lots of people were quick to question the developers and pretty immediately the developers changed the name and explained why it was called that. they've disavowed nazis as well. this is not something proud and out neo-nazis would do. their most common tactic is to make out like the people criticizing them are nuts. usually they mock the idea of some silly number holding any meaning. they wouldn't speak down about nazism instead theyd try and turn the moral question onto the asker or they skirt around it in some way. nazis rarely ever risk actually talking down about their ideology because that would make them a target for other nazis or possibly loose support from their peers. nazism is both a dangerous and fragile mindset. (is it possible for the developers to still be nazis and they are just trying to cover their asses? yes. but due to how nazis operate this is very very unlikely to happen. the only people who can do this successfully are usually people with a bigger reach.) i am not at all here to defend the game or tell you to support it. i really do not give a shit about it. i'm here to help people get better at doing anti-nazi work. being anti-nazi doesn't mean just seeing dog whistles and pointing them out. you have dig deeper, you have to get to the truth. you cannot put people on blast because they accidentally used a dog whistle they weren't aware of, if you do that you are doing the heavy lifting of the nazis. you are shunning and isolating someone or some people because your activism stopped at making a quick "heads up" post.

this is all coming from someone who has called out nazis irl and helped deradaclized some folks. i've been mocked by nazis for pointing out their dog whistles and lost friends (liberals.... sigh) for it. it does not help if you call everyone ever who used numbers like 8, 88, 18, 14, 12 and so on (there are A LOT bc nazis try to claim everthing) a nazi. by doing this and going no further into figuring out if someone is actually a nazi you are giving the nazi's power. because if it turns out the person wasn't a nazi but you went on a tirade against them anyways, you are watering down the work of people trying to weed actual nazis out! now of course with this game it wasn't only the title that made people question it. it was the game play of gassing rodents (nazi gas chambers, calling jewish people rats). which is why people went up and questioned the developers. there were some concerning overlaps. but with the name change and the public disavowing of nazism it does really seem these developers were simply ignorant. also using pesticide (either in gas or spray form) is pretty normal when dealing with, well a rodent infestation. to end this off i'll leave an article on what the developers have said about this

as well as a note that if you want to stop nazis or nazism from spreading you have to do more than memorizing dog whistles. you have to learn how they operate, you have to listen to the words of ex-nazis, listen to victims of nazis crimes but also beaware that sometimes seeing through a lens of pain cab lead to false accusations or quick leaps of judgement. in other words, always do your research first. and at the end of the day, if your gut still tells you something is fishy then hold onto that fishy feeling and don't support that person. distance yourself from them. sometimes thats the best you can do.

tehee~ im done. again, don't answer the questions you don't want to. this is just for fun

Okay this is a lot–

Adopted Parents Council is a tag all related to my kiddos and me interacting with fast food parody accounts, basically my character– And also myself! When you see my posts with that tag you notice that easily. On the other hand, the «plinko mori» tag are things that are more personal or actually real life facts lol

SENSITIVITY TO ALMOST EVERYTHING; Bright lights, I can't walk on streets 'cause of the light of the cars; textures, I avoid eating most of nuts, vegetables and fruits because of that; loud noises, wearing headphones that cancel most of the noises around with music, it's complicated because they don't work in specific scenarios that happen a lot at school; temperature, having a big change of temperatures makes me sick or when the temperature is too "a lot" for me I end up with stomachaches, panicking or easy to annoy– If not that I'll say not understanding sarcasm

I would say the blackmail or manipulation but I think my biggest flag is having a lack of empathy and almost 0 morals

Based in the few I know I can actually answer with The British is an ideal partner (maybe platonically?) but the most green flag I know is a user, close friend, called Mumu <3

Not saying a symptom to a doctor, that's my biggest fucking regret

DOGS- I HAVE TRAUMAS WITH THEM HOW THE FUCK I'M STILL ALIVE IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE?

Of course I do not love my mom, she doesn't love me either so corresponded hate 🫶🏻

My mom literally screaming when I was an infant «I wish you wasn't even born», «I'll hit you so you can cry for a good reason» and «You don't know how annoying you can be» but at least now just the last thing she says it lol she denies the rest it's annoying

Monster High, I traumatized my dad

When I get angry I confront people a lot– That will sure happen next week at least 3 days. But when I'm not angry I get confronted by almost anything I do

Introvert

I'm popular at school because I wear headphones in all moments, specially at classes, and because I get along with teachers actually so yeah "kinda" would be the right answer

Yeah I do, but then I remember I also manipulate people and I feel better

It would be probably my friends Koku or Barb– Koku would be "traumatized, kind and polite" while Barb would be "pendeja, brilliant and funny"

Manipulate, I'm a fucking Ougai Mori kinnie

Believe my words, believe me when I explained any sickness, take care of me, not having problems with my existence, being patient with me and Idk be a good not abusive dad when coming from an abusive family

Mix Beelzebub and Belphegor from Obey Me!, Sakunosuke Oda and Ryurou Hirotsu from Bungou Stray Dogs and those four together are my dad: Questionable past, can kill people, extremely kind, soft, sleeps, eats and smocks a lot, shares obsessions with me and well I took the autism from him

For you to have an idea of my love for my dad– People thought I was incestuous when I explained

I do not believe but my mother is fucking obsessed with it– She says that cancer is accurate for me but I don't know anything except the crying part. I cry a lot so at least that's accurate

I-I don't fucking know I'm so sorry

Yes I'm the type of person who falls in love because of a tiny kind act THAT'S HOW I STARTED HAVING A CRUSH IN A TEACHER

Just to my dad, I'm almost a copy-paste of him both physically and psychologically. The things I took from my mom is be 148cm/4'10" inches tall and be a tiny bomb

I read, listen to songs, practice a song or play in my cellphone

Not falling in love with toxic people that SOMETIMES are kind with me

I either cry or expect them coming is hilarious– Because this last option happens a lot so I just traumatize those people with anything or just be like "Idc"

Ougai Mori, Kunikida Doppo and Paul Verlaine, all of those from Bungou Stray Dogs

Cat person– I love cats and I'm fucking traumatized with dogs

Publish my works: poems, novels, short stories, etc

No

As a pansexual trans man, yes of course, I have a girl best friend and we'll never be in a romantic relationship

Satanism Of Lavey or the satanism that doesn't believe in the existence of Satan (because there are two types of Satanism lol)

I already got cancelled for loving Ougai Mori but to add something and not explain it further I'll say that defending a dictatorship

Thank you for the questions! I loved answering them 🥰🫶🏻

[ronanceisintheair]

No hate on your opinions just letting you know that I think by tagging posts anti steddie they're still showing up in the steddie tag? I was in there and found one of your posts and since you censor it in the main post I gather you don't want to be posting in the steddie and/or steve tags. Maybe use something like st3ddie?

(Universally across tumblr we use one tagging system that would be #anti whatever, using multiple censored versions of a ship or name doesn't help. If someone follows me and likes st*ddie in conjunction with ronance and they have the anti tag blocked-like they should-than me tagging st@ddie or st&ddie or whatever will risk them seeing the anti stuff)

All this to say yes that's a flaw in the matrix of tumblr, but there is ways to combat that by using tumblr tag blocking system or filtered content blocking system. Where you block 1 universally used tag to negate seeing the posts.

Thank you for your consideration anon and hope this doesn't come off as bitchy, it just is what it is. If someone doesn't have the proper tags blocked it's on them. If they know about the flaw in tumblr matrix and don't take action it's on them.

All in all things are tagged anti and blocked tags exist. Back to the regularly scheduled ronance love

[yandere-romanticaa]

question: you're a big blog and everything so im a bit curious. Is the yandere side of tumblr comparably friendlier than other sides? like I'm always seeing discourse on other blogs and they tend to get into fights, while the yan side is just chilling. But I'm also aware that I don't have that large of a following and I don't really follow many blogs, so I'm kind of sheltered in away? Idk, what's your thoughts on the yandere tumblr community? At least, the genshin one

I noticed this too and now that you put it in words I'd say you're right!!

Something I noticed about dark content creators is how most are incredibly open about everything they do and are always willing to discuss anything and everything, I'm not even sure I can name someone who wouldn't welcome you with open arms. It also needs to be said that we're aware that what we are writing for wouldn't fly irl under any circumstance but that's what makes this so fun, it's literally just pure fantasy and everyone is here to indulge. If yandere or anything similar to that just isn't your thing you just walk away!

The Genshin community heavily depends on the platform. I'm strictly speaking from my PERSONAL experience but the worst one I'd say is on Twitter (come on guys...), Instagram is just chilling, drawing fan art although I've seen some dumb comments that shouldn't even be there despite the creator tagging everything accordingly 🙃 As for Tumblr it gets weird, hear me out on this one and you're more than welcome to tell me if I'm wrong BUT I feel like the Genshin fandom here (at least some people) have these weird unfulfilled desires and they themselves aren't sure what they are. They take comfort in the characters but whenever something goes wrong by THEIR book then it's time to witch hunt and whatnot. Tumblr is also a beehive of assholes who think they're better than you simply because they think they're on the moral high ground thus making them qualified to judge others. I once wrote something for Kaeya who falls for an older woman and in the end it's implied that he assaults her. I tagged it accordingly and most people really liked it but I got an ask calling me an ableist and that I should "grow up" for using the "r word". Considering that this hellsite really IS a hellsite I'm honestly shocked with how positive my experience on here was. I think I received maybe one (1) death threat, that ask I mentioned before and probably some weird stuff I can't be bothered to remember but other than that my entire Tumblr experience has been nothing other than heavenly. People here were so kind and good to me, not to mention friendly and welcoming, just very amazing people in general whom I all wish nothing but the best in their lives, and I mean it. I hope they're healthy, happy, eating good food and drinking well, I want all of their dreams to come true and everything in between. I can't begin to describe just how good people can be and that goodness really does trump all of the nonsense in between. Everything I've said has been highly subjective and just my own personal thoughts, so take it with a grain of salt because it's always different for everyone.

Trigger warnings: mention of death, vore, mouth play

Part 2

--------------------------------------

Tommy was sitting down in the middle of his familiar cage, looking out at all the big people that were walking around and grabbing other cages. He didn't understand why people kept screaming whenever a big person would grab their cage though, the big people were always so nice, giving him free food and water, and sometimes even things to play with- well, until one of the special big people in aprons take his new toy away saying it's bad. He kept watching the big people, listening to their conversations, just like he did everyday… but today nothing interesting was happening, no one was doing any funny things and it was starting to get boring to just sit here.

Tommy's boredom was cut off at the sound of a familiar ding. He looked up to the door and saw a new big person wearing a yellow shirt with really fluffy looking brown hair and- they were looking at him!! No one ever looked at him apart from the special big people!!! Tommy smiled brightly and ran to the front of his cage to wave at the person, excited and hopeful that he could finally have a friend! The big person gave him a weird look, and Tommy wasn't sure why they seemed confused- he was just being friendly. For now Tommy didn't think about it, or really, he forgot about it as the big person walked over to him and crouched down in front of his cage.

"Now what do we have here~" The big person smirked, showing off a few of their teeth, and Tommy smiled in return at getting attention.

"Hello! I'm Tommy!!!" He introduced himself, and didn't notice the look of confusion that crossed the person's face.

"Uh, hi Tommy- are you… are you not scared?" The big person asked, and Tommy tilted his head, a bit confused by the question.

"No? Why would I be scared?" It was true that most other people were scared when a big person talked to them, but Tommy still really didn't understand what there was to be scared of.

"O- oh uhm…." The big person's face changed to show several different emotions, and after a few minutes they picked up Tommy's cage.

Tommy immediately started to bounce excitedly. He'd been picked up! That meant they picked him!! Now he'd finally get to see where all the big people took everyone to! Tommy started to think about his mama, she'd been picked once too, but she hadn't been taken out of the store like Tommy was. He zoned out the conversation the big person was having with the special big person as he imagined all the things he'd be able to do with his new friend, like finally having someone to talk to!

Tommy smiled and kept looking everywhere as he was carried out of his home and saw loads of huge walls with square holes. He'd never been out here before, and it was amazing to see the blue blanket above with it's big light (didn't big people call it the "sky and sun"? He couldn't remember-). He winced a bit whenever a loud roaring shiny thing passed them, but was still amazed by all the different colours and how fast all of them were. He let out little gasps as he saw walls with bigger holes that showed loads of amazing items he'd never seen before inside. It was all so amazing! Tommy wished he could go run around and see everything- unfortunately he couldn't as the big person carrying him made a hole appear on one of the big walls and walked inside.

"Wooooaaaahhhhh, where are we?" Tommy asked as he looked around, seeing a very unfamiliar but just as exciting new place he was now.

"This is my home…" The big person answered, and when Tommy looked up at them he was a little confused by the look on their face, he couldn't really tell what emotion it was, but it definitely wasn't the happy look they had earlier. Hmmmmm… maybe they just thought it was a mess? There was a lot of big things sitting around in the middle of the room after all.

"Well it's really really cool!!!" Tommy shouted up, trying his best to cheer up the big person.

"I guess it is…" they let out a small chuckle. They opened the cage door, and Tommy stood up in excitement. He didn't try to leave the cage as much as he wanted to, because he knew he'd just be picked up out of the cage like what was supposed to happen! So he waited, and waited… and waited, for eh big person to pick him up? Why haven't they picked him up yet? It's been a few minutes now, usually he'd be grabbed by now. "You gonna come out?"

"No, I'm waiting!" Tommy smiled up at the big person, still waiting patiently to be taken out. The big person looked at him in confusion, and he just smiled back. They let out a sigh, and Tommy smiled as he watched their huge hand reach in and pick him up. He squirmed with excitement at the feeling of being lifted up high.

"It's just like any other tiny…." They mumbled and licked their lips. Tommy watched as their mouth opened wide and he could see all of their teeth, their huge tongue, and even the dark abyss that was their throat; he didn't fight as he was dropped onto their slimey tongue, only moving to reposition himself to be comfortable. He watched as the mouth slowly closed around him, and all the light left… he wasn't scared though! He knew big people did this to people all the time! Tommy was actually excited to see where people went after being put into mouths!

Tommy started to giggle as the tongue under him began to lick him all over. Throwing him around the small space and tickling him whenever it touched his skin. He whiped some spit out of his hair, then laughed as the tongue pinned him down and got spit all over him once again. He wiggled a little bit once he was moved around and now the tongue pinned him to the top of the mouth, he then soon heard a loud gulp behind him- then he finally thought of something.

"Big person, can I ask you a question?" Tommy asked, then felt himself get pushed into a cheek, he only squirmed a little bit at how tight it was, but was otherwise comfortable already.

"Oh- uh sure…"

"When you swallow me, will I see mama? She got put into a big person's mouth too, is this gonna take me to her or to where your mouth goes?" The child asked, innocently and curiously. He waited a long time for an answer, and started to wonder if the big person didn't know where mouths took people- but then was surprised when he was spit out into the big person's hands.

"Fuuuuu- frick, you… you're actually just a kid…" They said as they held the innocent child- god he'd almost killed a child- in his hands. Wilbur watched the small one look around in confusion then finally up at him.

"Why'd you spit me out?" It- no- they asked, and Wilbur felt nothing but pain and guilt in his chest. Did they not understand? Did nobody tell them? Did they really think…. Did they really believe that humans didn't kill tinoes when they are them? "Wasn't I gonna see mama?" Dammit morals-

"W- well uh, it's not time for you t- to see her yet?" Wilbur lied, he had no idea who this kid's mom had been, just that she was dead now if she'd been eaten.

"Oh… Oh! She told me to wait for her when she was picked! I remember, so I just gotta wait more!!" He smiled up at Wilbur and he felt his heart beat more.

"Y- yeah- yeah… you just gotta.. gotta wait…" Hold it in Wil, don't cry in front of the kid.

"I can't wait to see her again-" The kid (didn't they say their name was Tommy?) said then gasped "and now I can show her my new friend!"

"New friend?" Wilbur couldn't stop himself from asking, a little curious.

"Yeah! You!!!" Tommy smiled and Wilbur felt his heart crush to a pulp.

"You- you think I'm your friend?"

"Yeah!! Your the first person to be nice to me, big person!!"

"Wilbur." He cut in.

"Hm?"

"My name is uh Wilbur…" He was definitely going to keep this kid now and try to make sure nothing bad ever happened to them.

"Okie Wilby! We'll be the bestest friends foreva!!!!" And as Tommy said that, it solidified Wilbur's promise to himself to keep this child safe. He gently ruffled their hair with a finger, and smiled when Tommy laughed.

Yeah… he'd keep them safe...... And hopefully Dream wouldn't find out about them...

"congratulations, you definitely didn't screw up. You truly are the good guys." Deceit said, rising up from who knows where

"not now, Deceit, we need to figure out how to fix this!" Virgil snapped at him

"I'll ignore the aggression because I know it was meant for yourself this time, not for me. And you can't fix this." deceit decided to drop his opposite speech so he could get to the point more easily.

"what do you mean we can't fix it? We need our Patton back!" Roman said desperately.

"calm down Roman, you know he only speaks in lies" Logan tried to assure Roman or himself, maybe both.

"not this time, brainiac. There really is nothing you can do because you failed to see the signs or pay any attention to your precious dad friend, and now it's too late. You're always brushing him off, disrespecting him, calling him names and never wanting him around in any serious conversation. Even you, Virgil, who knows so well the pain of exclusion and rejection, shut him out when he made you uncomfortable and failed to explain what he could do to keep being your friend without being overbearing. You were his last hope to stay a part of the group, and you let him down."

"you think I don't know that?! I'm sorry okay?!? Is there a point to this or are you just here to rub salt in the wound?" Virgil was yelling in anger at first but was halfway to crying by the end of the last question.

"I'm here to tell you that I'll be in Patton's room if you need me to clear up anything else, and that maybe soon you can start to heal your friendship with him, but not right now. Right now he is still angry with you, and he has every right to be. And you need to let him feel these emotions or they're just going to keep piling up."

"what will you be doing in Patton's room?" Logan asks after a long silent pause that was shared by all four of them.

"what Im always doing there after you hurt him. I'll be picking up the pieces and making your job of making amends that much easier. You're welcome by the way." and with that, the lying side sank down into Patton's room for an unscheduled tea party.

"I thought you might need a friend right now." he said to the furious moral side, who's mood seemed to get just a bit better when he saw deceit.

"you have no idea." Patton smiled, a small greatful smile. Deceit couldn't lie in his room and didn't feel the need to. They've had these tea parties for a long time now and they've become more frequent recently, deceit seeming to always know when Patton needed his snarky attitude and sarcastic remarks, but also his wisdom and unusual point of view.

"you wanna talk about it?" deceit asked in a warm tone, which Patton smiled a bit brighter at.

"not quite yet. Let's have some tea first." Patton answered, as he usually did when he needed to let off steam without punching someone in the face. Tea always did help to calm him down from a fighting mood to a ranting mood.

Deceit conjured everything they needed and set the table quickly.

"thought you might say that."

(I honestly don't know what this is I just really like patceit being besties and deceit lecturing the other sides about hurting his boi.)

Staple Your Tongue

Fandom: Sanders Sides Pairing: None Contents: Angry and possibly cruel Patton Summary: Too many times they had shut him out, excluding him. A/N: So, I saw this post and decided I wanted to give it a try. Although it ended up going a different way than I thought. Well for the most part. I do have more ideas to continue this, but I only will if there is enough interest. Otherwise I will work on the several other stories I have in the works. Title is a lyric from Bury a Friend, I’ve been listening to Nate’s cover recently.

Patton glanced at the time and shook his head, lips pulling into a frown. It was the fourth time in the week that they blew him off. Not even telling him they weren’t planning on joining him for the dinner he cooked for them all. He was growing tired of it all.

Then the door opened, revealing the loud Roman as he swept into the room with Virgil in tow. Logan was following them, not far behind as he offered some input to whatever they were discussing. Patton knew better than to ask, they would just brush him off anyway. Regarding him as unable to understand. Their laughter reminded him what happened, how they had walked off and left him with no indication of what was happening. Excluding him.

Keep reading

Well see now I'm morally obligated to write something.

Deceit was walking around the grocery store lost and deperately trying to read the chicken scratch of Patton's writing on the list. He knew the first word was eggs, but the rest was incomprehensible. Resigned to his feet, he picked up his phone and began to write Patton a text.

"Hey mister.." a lost and sad voice called, and he felt a tug on his cap. He turned to see a poor five year old child looking lost and near tears.

"Yes?" He questions, and the little girl sniffs.

"I can't find my mom," she cries, and Deceit nods, reaching down to pick her up and smiling reassuringly at her.

"Okay, I'll help you. Let's go to the desk and have them call for her, okay?"

The girl nods, crying a little more. As he walks, Deceit peppers her with questions. "Do you know her phone number?" No. "What's your name?" Avery. "Do you know how long you've been lost?" No. "Where did you lose her?" By the candy section.

Reaching the customer service desk, he gets the attention of a worker. "Hello," he greets, "This little girl lost her mother. Could you call for her?"

The worker nods, and goes to get the phone. "Her name is Avery," Deceit tells her.

There's a weird sound of surprise followed by a "Dee..?"

Deceit turns his head to find Virgil. "Oh, hello Virgil." He greets. Virgil gives Deceit and the child a look of confusion. Deceit looks at Avery, finally done crying and playing with his hair.

"Oh, she lost her mother." He explains, and before he can keep speaking a woman Deceit assumed was Avery's mother ran over.

"Avery!" The woman called in relief, and Avery cheered. "Mommy!"

Deceit set Avery down and let her run to her mother, who sent him a grateful look. "Oh thank you so much I was so scared and-"

"It's no problem," Deceit intterupts. Smiling. "I'm glad she got to you safely."

Kneeling down, he addressed Avery. "Next time, tell your mom before you go to another isle, okay?"

Avery nods. "Okay!"

Deceit watches them walk off before pulling out the list again. He sighed to himself and Virgil chuckled. "Pat's handwriting, right?"

Deceit nodded. Virgil held his hand out. "I'll read it."

Deceit smiled. "Thank you."

~~~

(Angst, tw abuse but it's all good I promise it's a happy ending)

Deceit is walking down the street at around ten thirty at night and enjoying the night air when a bundle of tears and fear throws themself into his legs. He looks down at the huddled mass. A little boy is holding his legs and shaking in fear.

"Hello," he greets, kneeling down. "What's wrong?"

He notices the bruises and injuries on the chikd, and narrows his eyes. "Who hurt you?"

The little boy sniffles. "Please help me mister, daddy got mad and- and- no one else is around and im scared" he broke into sobs.

"It's alright," Deceit says, "Of course I'll help."

Gently taking the child's arms from his leg and moving to hold one of his hands, he looks over the kid. "Okay, first of all, do you have anyone else living with you who might be gotten hurt to?"

"N-no," the boy stammers out, "It's just me and daddy.."

Deceit can see scars. This is not the first time. "He's done this before, yes?"

The boy nods and looks close to crying again. Deceit stuffs the rage down his throat and kisses the kid's forehead. "How far did you run?"

"I don't know.." the kid cries.

"Okay, what's your name?"

"Tommy.."

"Where else are you hurt?"

"Everywhere.."

Deceit nods. "Can I pick you up?"

"Yeah.."

Deceit scoops the kid onto his arms and stands up. He looks around, and not finding any enraged fathers continues on his way. "I'm going to call the police," Deceit says, "Do you know where you live?"

Tommy nods. "Will you tell me?"

Tommy nods again and recites an address much to Deceit's surpise. He'd thought he'd just get some description of the home or directions.

Calling the police, he explains the situation. He's closer to his home then Tommy's.

"Yes, I'm heading home at the moment. It's about a block away and you can pick him up there. He's hurt and there may be something internal, so please send an ambulance."

A couple minutes later, the police are at his door and ready to take the kid and get the whole process started. He gives his report on what happened and stays in the hospital to make sure the kid is okay.

He's really good with kids.

Okay okay okay

I know I keep pumping out Deceit headcanons BUT

Deceit is AMAZING with kids.

Like- Patton is great with them. They love him. But still, he’s a DAD. Kids don’t always want to play with their Dad.

Deceit is great. He’s good at acting, at pretending. Especially when they need a villain. Kids are just.. Naturally attracted to him.

He could be shopping and some kid who couldn’t find their mom will just cling to his leg.

He always gets dragged away to play games with them if he’s near a playground.

And the weird part is they listen to him, too. For the most part, anyway.

Just a thought.
