"Sirius black x Kingsley shacklebolt(daddy figure)" <- elaborate

no <3

KIDDING LMAO IVE BEEN WAITING 500 YEARS FOR SOMEOJE TO ASK ME ABT THIS ILY ILY

There are 2 versions on how this could go

Way 1: Sirius joins the order he is imm determined to make it ahead bc in the order there's a sort of hierarchy where new members don't go on "serious" missions and that makes sirius even more mad bc the ministry already rejected his auror job application bc of his last name and he can't fathom not being the best at everything and so he finds the highest ranking person and its kingsley (and madeye and kinerva, minervas too old alastors insane (kinda hot but suirisu alr has enough inquiries into his own mental health soooo)) kingsely wins!!!! And he so he begins flirting approaching w kingsley and also I feel like even if he didn't wanna go ahead kingsely has an aura that makes him soo approachable which is why he's in charge of training the new members and he treats all the members kindly but Sirius thinks it's just him so when he finds out kingsley treats every1 like that he's MAD and also kingsley is the polar opposite of siriuss dad so that's also a factor. I feel like the relationship itself would be healthy(ish??) Bc while kingsley does love Sirius and recognize Sirius is pretty he isn't OBSESSED (yet 😼) and so that sort of grounds sirius bc kingsley doenst do let him whatever the fuck he wants and engage in self destructiveactivities (which is kinda annoying but its like daddy core?? Canyouseethevision) and kingsley while he isn't a virgin, isn't rlly secually experienced so sirius defo gets a power trip by the knowledge that one of the most influential order members is whining and writhing under (or above) him. So it's like, kingsley controls/takes care of sirius enough that sirius Stull finds a "challange" (and daddy) but still in love with (not obsessed) w him enough that sirius still feels in control (bc thats one of the best feelings in ghe world for him) also i do feel like kingsley has a savior complex xo when he dates sirius alot of ppl jokingly tell him to watch out and he's like "i can fix him" not in a cock hungry way (remus) but bc that'd just what he does and sirius is no df and he insists sirius won't ruin his life and that he's going to help sirius get better (but he isnt sick??) and then siirius gets imprisoned and kingsley does get sad but he wasn't obsessed w sirius so this doesn't destroy him (yet 😼) and he ev gets married then in ootp he's still married and tells Sirius this and him and sirius maint a healthy distance but after Azkaban Sirius doenst want need a "daddy figure" he needs someone that let's him self destrcut (kike james) so he can feel like it's still before Oct 31 so him and kingsely don't rlly get together and if they fuck after some meetings and if Sirius cries into kingsley shoulder sometimes and if Sirius told kingsley he got better at fucking and if the day before the battle at the depth of mysteries they fought and if the the order for Sirius to stay was given by kingsley and if sirius didn't want to listen so he left and now he's dead and kingsely a cheater and if he ev divorces his wife for "other rzns"(his wifes a muggle and if he tells her its bc of the war and not bc of the fact that she doenst have black hair or moles or a laugh like a dog and ane) and so if in the end sirius DID destroy his life well that's neither here not there!!

Way 2: Sirius doesn't really like Kingsley BUT remus has a crush on kingsley and that makes sirius mad bc even tho he doenst like or even want to date remus. remus isn't allowed to have a crush on anyone but HIM (but obviously sirius deosnt reciprocate i mean remus is such a loser with his stupid overbite and stupid freckles and stupid goldy brown curly hair and stupid smile and stupid moral compass and and) so anyways remus having a crush on kingsley is a big no no so sirius decides a good solution would be to stea date kingsley !! And just like in the last version, Sirius flirts to the max w kingsley who doesn't notice bc he's busy and he's never rlly had much experience in the romance department (he isnt a loser like remus but he spent most of his hogwarts yrs working towards his future unware 98% of the hogwarts population had a crush on him) so he just thinks Sirius is being friendly and this makes sirius mad bc he isnt supp to chase after ppl theyre supp to come to HIM but eventually Sirius bags him !! And it goes pretty much the same except Remus can't help but feel hurt and angry at Sirius (but why would he be angry ? Sirius didnt promise him nkt to go after kingsley in fact he lrobably didnt wven know remus liked him) but siiruss plan worked girlboss (kind of) bc now remus thinks abt sirius more

top 5 fics you've written!!

Ooo, that's a tricky one! I'm only gonna consider finished Ao3 autonomous fics - there's so many WIPs in my folders, so many enticing ideas that haven't turned into real fics (yet)... I've also written quite a bit for the Magic: Expanded Multiverse project (Magic the Gathering fics, but keeping the worldbuilding roots and giving a wide berth to canon) and permutations of my own OCs there, but calling most of them - and especially my fave to write - fully autonomous fics would be a bit disingenuous, I feel. I'm still pretty proud of those, though.

So, without further ado and in no particular order, these are the 5 fics that come to mind right now when I think of being the best for me, in combined terms of quality and importance for myself and my growth as a writer:

Dragon's Blood: a classic fairy tale about princes, dragons and maidens fair... with a twist. I've had a lot of fun, experimenting with the narrative tone! The connection with the original media is practically nonexistent - a wink to a certain character of the aforementioned MtG fan project.

The Antlion's Den: A Naruto recursive fanfic. I have an undying appreciation for what @jumpingjacktrash did for me just by existing and posting his stories, so when I had the inspiration to make recursive fics of his work I jumped at the chance to... return the favor, in a sense? The Antlion's Den is the meatier of the two fic, featuring his OC being cute, my OC being a bastard and a bigass fight at the end... when he said it was the best recursive fic he had ever received it easily made my week - I still smile at the thought.

Farewell gifts: This is a shared spot with Breaking Point and Woven In, really - they are my first steps in the Miraculous "fanficdom", but while Breaking Point features one of my best tropes ever and it's my very first ML (and Loveybug!) fic, Farewell Gifts features the Mariwalker post-reveal scene I wrote in THREE DIFFERENT FICS (wtf) and most importantly it was the first time I tried to engage a sweet, adorable teenage romance on its terms - I'm way more used to write gritty fights, bitchy dialogue and angst.

Undercover: the first smut I publicly shared! It was so exciting, to explore this whole new genre, weaving fluff and smut with no further goal than indulging my writing itch! And the response was incredible, it gave me so much confidence to continue and eventually write Augmentation and its continuation, which I'm pretty sure I'll finish writing at some point. Speaking of long-awaited conclusions...

Are Hexagon Square Dances a Thing?: if you had asked me a few weeks ago, this wouldn't have made the cut. I was so excited to join in @asukiess's Valentine Week celebration of Loveybug, figuring out a way to use all the LoveyWeek prompts to build some sort of plot (with @mostmagical's amazing help) and daily posting was so much fun! ...until it came to a jarring stop. The very last chapter got stuck in my brain sideways, and it took me EIGHT MONTHS to get through it. It soured the whole memory of that delightful week for me, so I'm glad I was able to finish it. To keep with the First Times theme, this was the first fandom event I joined in my life! And except for that snag at the end, I had a grand time.

Thank you for the ask! It was cool, to look back at my work this way 💜

[mhaynoot]

you can always employ the tried and true ‘ramble about the story idea without actually writing it down’!

thank you for your encouraging words hehe!! it's been a while since you sent this in (sorry!) but i'm pretty sure I wrote this idolja idea around the same time and took your advice actually HAHAH ramble story idea always coming in clutch

can't find where i posted this so i'll just shove it underneath the page break cause i do really like this idea and might come back to it later

... but imagine idolja did an action drama one day and everyone goes: he doesn't look powerful at all, in fact isn't he just getting beat up by the male lead? but why is he so captivating still? ... maybe cause he looks really good in pai-

he's an unpopular idol and he's only acting a side character in the drama and everyone thinks he's gonna flop but surprisingly... he's pretty good? he can match the seasoned actors around him and ... his mouth has always been very charming 

his singing is okay but his talking skills are wow he's unmatched in variety shows fr, he’s really good at speaking and riling up the audience in a way an idol really really shouldn’t

by extra character I really do mean extra character role, like kdj is not introduced until like the last quarter of episode 1 as a part of the male lead's background entourage and the hijinks with the female lead are already underway or something (don't worry about it, the drama's plot is not important). It’s like he’s there to like make up numbers of pretty faces on a show.

but he does have plot relevance enough to have actual scenes and while they're written like throwaway scenes that wouldn't mean much, when netizens watch them they can't help thinking "oh? these two characters have a surprising lot of chemistry together!" or "wow I can't stop replaying this scene!" and then type away gushing about the cool FL and handsome ML.

But behind the scenes, it's noticed and his energy with the other way more seasoned actors is surprisingly on par. but he doesn't overshine them or anything, in fact he eerily seems to match them exactly where they need him to make sure they grow. unlike with the male lead who's aggressive methods and outstanding capabilities blows others to either match him or get dusted. screenwriter hsy, revises the script a little, some extra scenes until KDJ slowly becomes a side character and then a secondary character.

so yeah in a cast of famous actors, kdj was expected to fade into the background especially as an unpopular idol who had a "controversial" past (canon events) but the scene that made him and the show blow up was the pivotal fight with the ML where hmm

well when his voice goes a little low and he's breathing is strained as he gets beat up by the ml heh well some netizens point out that he sound really really submissive hehehehe

 well like i said his mouth is very charming

(some extra bg i wrote: the show is already predicted to be a hit before it aired because of the star power and production behind it. Yoo Joonghyuk and Lee Seolhwa as the main leads and their guaranteed chemistry from other dramas they've starred in has already racked in the CP fans. Not to mention award winning, most marketable and highest-selling author and screenwriter, Han Sooyoung.)

Let's talk about my body. I'm a muscle head...sort of, depending on who you ask. If you ask Timothy Chalamet, I'm a god. If you ask a 1990s Arnold Schwarzeneggar, I'm a puny little man. I look at myself in the mirror and feel pretty content with where my body is for the most part, which is a far cry from where I was. I have spent years--actual decades, I won't name how many, but we'll say more than one--in the gym. I have spent those years addicted to the pump and lamenting its ultimate deflation and return to my body's baseline. But I'd always go back, because I wanted to look like the John Cenas and the Rocks. "If I just keep going..." "If I just eat more protein..." "If I just try this supplement..." "If I just try this different routine..."

I kept going and I kept going, very few breaks if any. Consistently, every week. On vacation. During my years at school. On summer breaks. After work. In the mornings, in the afternoons, in the late night after my shifts in food service. I prioritized it so very much. This is still so today. Six days a week, now. In all that time, up until around my mid-30s, I never looked how I truly wanted. I still looked like a twinky boy. I looked like a boy who walked like he was supposed to be a man of a different physique, because, some part of me sometimes believed it. At one point I discovered weight gainer supplement; I became stronger within a few weeks and became addicted to throwing up more weight than I'd ever lifted before. It was a game changer. Unfortunately, I'd hit a plateau and got pretty plump. Boy, was my ass phat though. I had black men and older daddies trying to get in my butt. My butt was powerful, it was my power.

You think I wanted to lose my new flat bench max? And my phat fuckable butt? Hell no. So I held that 40-50 extra pounds of weight...I tolerated that windedness, the tight clothes, the elevated heart rates after a short walk, that sweating for no god-damn reason, for upwards of three years, all out of fear I'd lose my only perceived source of love: my fuckability and my ability to lift.

I'd intermittently get plump and "bulk," and lean out, on repeat for close to another 8 years, never quite seeing the man I wanted to see in the mirror. Sure I'd take a pic and be like, "not bad," but for the most part, I looked soft, sometimes bulky depending on what "phase" of body I was in. Generally, I'd say looking back, I probably looked my best when I was little more slim. If I'm being honest, at the time, having a fuckable butt was something I was scared to lose. Doesn't that sound crazy? Or does it sound common? I can't imagine feeling that way now.

So what changed? Well, I had broken up with my boyfriend around 2019. It was a horrible relationship but the sex was great (a recurring theme I'll touch on later.) I had badmouthed steroids for years, always said I wanted to be natural or "natty." (If any of this sounds familiar, it's because you've probably heard some little newbie at the gym or commenting on a muscle head's social media post spouting the same nonsense...) But, I had said, almost as if I had planned it, "if we break up I'm *doing* steroids." As fate would have it, a coworker of mine offered me some old vials of unused prescription testosterone right around when that relationship finally ended. He committed a felony by distributing them; I committed one by accepting them. I always pictured the exchange of controlled substances as some dark-alley deal but, no, I had done so right in the comfort of my office. Just before the COVID pandemic picked up steam in the United States, I'll never forget injecting that little fucking 0.25 mL dose into my left buttock, right outside my gym in the parking lot in the front seat of my car. Oh, the excitement.

For those of you who don't know, 0.25 mL of testosterone is nothing. I was basically partially shutting down my testicular function and replacing it with injectable testosterone. It was lol-able to those in the know, because I did this for many weeks. This should signal just how blind I was to what on earth I was doing. But I finally talked around and got the courage to do more. Fuck, I felt great when I bumped my dose to 0.75. I started seeing a pretty good change until I ran out. So I read up on cycling and took the dive. I bought some overseas gear...the big stuff. T cyp and tren. Oh fuck yea, I dove head first. I was ready. And being the black-and-white codependent muscle head FUCK I was, I said "If I'm going to do this, I'm going to just go full tilt" I was injecting around 500 mg T cyp and around 700 mg Tren E on that first cycle. I ate like a pig, because I was so toxically attached to this idea of "holding onto it" after I came off cycle. Fuck I was plump. I was PLUUMMP. I also fucked like a pig, ready to go just about any time, anywhere, and damn near down to do just about whatever nasty masculine activity with another dude you can think of (damn near....not completely lol)

Then, around week 9 or so, I started to feel sick. Just generally sick. But I pushed and I pushed, kept injecting, kept eating, kept lifting. I checked my labs and they were a wreck. An inflammatory marker said I had a 30% chance of a heart attack in the next year. My cholesterol was through the roof. Yup. I can't imagine why! Naturally, I stopped right around week 12. Let me just say, no amount of PCT (post-cycle therapy) could prepare me for the crash 2-3 weeks post cycle. I suddenly was not a god. I was not a sex pig. I was not veined and horned. I was...depressed, sad, emotional, dumpy. But, it bounced back and I felt normal once again.

Then I received my "invitation."

Meet the Butler! Rio Ortiz 🐶

After Sariel, here's the next suitor :

MC's closet friend plus her butler during her time as Belle

Arm of coat : Beagle

First impression of him : he's kinda cute and cheerful ... Wait ... unrequited love? Wow this can be very interesting!

His voice actor is Mineta Hiromu, who is also the host for Ikepri live show and stage actor for Rio

He's the first man to appear in the story, claimed to have just left his new job with the reason "just want to devote his life to MC."

MC say, 3 years ago, he was found by MC lying unconscious on the ground in rainy day. Rio lost his memory, but he is grateful to MC who saved him. Rio really devoted his life to her. And maybe bc they've been together for a long time, Rio fell in love with MC.

Who doesn't fall in love with a girl that kind and beautiful as MC? The Princes who have only known MC for a month already can fall in love with her, then what about Rio who has been with her for 3 years!?

Sadly, Mc only saw Rio as a friend. Rio, who is always outspoken about his feelings, is not taken seriously by MC. Even though it's sad, Rio still stand by her side. He values MC happiness more than anything

When MC become the Belle, Rio also become her personal butler. At first he looks like an ordinary butler, but in some people's views, Rio can be more dangerous than that

The cheerful Rio will be different if someone dare to hurts MC. And he doesn't care who it is, including the princes. Nokto had experienced it😅 Ah, i also remembered there's a group of men who tried to annoy MC then after they run, Rio secretly .... 😌

So Rio is sort of yandere boy here with no heterochromia lol. I guess MC doesn't aware since she only sees Rio as a harmless person. Although he really loves MC, Rio always accepts the fact that MC loves someone else. Mc's happiness is his happiness, so he will support their relationship. Man, this is the saddest part :') I can't imagine being in Rio's position, 3 years of having crush and she's/he's right in front of you, but in fact the person you like is someone else's mate ( ；∀；) dude, hang in there, let me hug you (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

This remind me of Inuchiyo or Comte. But Rio is different case since he has repeatedly confessed his love! In comics or dramas, Rio will be said to have 'second male lead syndrome'. Many fans will choose him as a nice person and really loves MC than MLs which is more difficult to reach, but yeah that will never happen :')

At least let me shout to MC "don't you see him!? Don't you see him that is always near you!?" 🤧

Even the townspeople say (this is Clavis when he searching more info about MC) that no one knows MC better than Rio (Rio just like a final boss lol). As a loyal dog, ofc Rio will 'growl' when anyone wants to know about MC through him, moreover is Clavis who asks that

Rio was still shrouded in mystery. Maybe it's because he lost his memory so MC never brought up his origins. What confuses me quite a bit is Rio's skill, one of them he can be MC partner when she learns to dance, Rio have the same knowledge as what MC learn, he's good at fighting and he's also quick at grasped the situation. I mean, he's literally not an ordinary person here 😶

There's a possibility that Rio has got his memory but he doesn't want to tell it. Because on Nokto's route, Rio looks reluctant to be in Benitoite even though he himself wants to accompany MC there. Then now comes the 1st prince of Benitoite, Silvio, who has a dog crest like Rio 👀

Could Rio be the lost prince? The physical resemblance between siblings doesn't seem to apply in this game lol so there's a possibility about this

Rio is not recommended to anyone who doesn't like yanderes type or a chatty one like him. I'm the example 🤣

The person who is closest to Rio is Luke. They immediately became close friends in court (and maybe because of many similarities between them too). In Chevalier's route, they once wanted to break through the opposing army to save MC who've being kidnapped lol. Nokto also has a quite unique relationship with Rio. They feel the same sync as people who cover their true face. Don't forget Rio's boss too, Sariel, who is considered a very nice boss by Rio (Sariel frowns hearing this). Isn't he afraid of Sariel? Oh of course! But surely he's even more scared if he has to imagine his life without MC Ó╭╮Ò

For the others, Rio get along well with them. And they also see Rio as " a loyal dog who can talk about his master all day long" lol Rio respect them too as long as they being nice to mc

And that's the last for now! I'll updated after get more info about the new 3 princes ✨

Then, maybe I'll just back posting memes🤔 I actually wanted to post my art (I'm not sure it can be called as art) but nothing ever finished 😅

Oh yeah i just remembered! After you pick the suitor story, you have to full the romantic&dramatic bar (I forget what it's called, but is clearly similar to the system in ikesen) in order to read the epilogue. So you have to choose the correct answer to get the bar full, unless you have the items!

For now there is only the jp walkthrough, but it's very easy to follow.

Alright, Please enjoy Ikemen Prince wholeheartedly!

[sunfoxfic]

I'm still thinking about the post I made this morning so just to clarify my point further: If you're going to criticize any non-love square ship for cluttering the love square tag on AO3 — including ships that break up the love square, like Adrigami and Lukanette — you have to criticize love square fic writers for cluttering non-love square tags, especially ships that conflict with the love square. I do not care how much it bothers you to find a Lukanette fic in the love square tag — running the numbers very quickly, about 35% of Lukanette fics are currently also tagged with love square, while — get this — 3.5% of love square fics are also tagged Lukanette.

It is infinitely harder to navigate the Lukanette tag than it is to navigate the love square tag, and if you're going to bitch and moan about 3.5% of fics possibly containing content you don't want to see then I need to see you complaining about 35% of fics possibly containing content that someone else doesn't want to see.

The love square tag is damn near the only relationship tag in ML that's navigatable on AO3, and it is hypocrisy to complain about how 3.5% of your fics are mistagged (when many of those fics are tagged like that because they do feature both Lukanette and LS, and many of them feature Lukadrinette) if you do not give a shit about 35% for someone else.

And yes, I will mention DJWifi here. Because DJWifi is entirely unnavigatable, with a whopping 83% of DJWifi fics being tagged love square. I'll give you a hint: Most of those fics do not focus on DJWifi in the slightest.

[louiseechoes]

I'll preface this with the same thing I ended my ask: You not liking or understanding the significance of a character's relationship does not mean that it is not good lore. Tl;dr at the bottom.

Ship or not, a character's lore revolving around another character and their bond isn't automatically "badly handled." Quite the contrary, Sea Fairy's struggle and battle to break from her bleak fate of staying at the bottom with no one to understand her is inspiring, and it's all because she found mutual ground with someone who literally shone a light on her from the depths. It's not weak, it humanizes Sea Fairy in a way the other legends are not. All the other celestials in Cookie Run are distant from our and their respective world's understanding, but Sea Fairy is not, she is within reach and can interact with other cookies. The existence of a character who is godly but grounded is considerable in and of itself, and it doesn't demean them like you claim Sea Fairy's story does.

She is not a simp, she is not after Moonlight for no reason, and with your self-admitted lack of information on the matter, you shouldn't be so confident to call their relationship bad when you yourself said that you don't understand it. To your knowledge, these questions are not answered; But they are, and Sea Fairy is in fact one of the only legends to have had not one, but two whole stories revolve around her in Ovenbreak (Tower of Frozen Waves + Sugarteara).

Blue LIly is a separate can of worms that I'll tackle in a different post in more detail at a later time.

For now, I agree that her execution was way botched with the way she antagonized only cookies of color (Poison Mushroom, Purple Yam, Pomegranate). However, her distrust of GingerBrave is reasonable, she is a native to the area and she is it's guardian, it's her job to be skeptic and to keep everyone safe to no expense of their own. I have criticisms of my own regarding Blue Lily's characterization, and I do think she is a victim of bad writing, but everything you're criticising her for is simply the character traits and flaws that she's supposed to have. What, are characters no longer allowed to be anything but positive in a story? Even if the conflict Blue Lily brings to the table is contrived and unappealing, it's still a display of character depth and a sign that she is not flat or two-dimensional.

And I don't know how to impress upon you that a woman having flaws in media is nothing new; Blue Lily scrutiny will never be anything but hollow and meaningless to me because people only ever criticise women in media like this.

I'm not personally invested in whether or not you want to ship BlueBell, but if you want a reason to? Lilybell herself; She does not resent or feel wronged by Blue Lily, despite supposedly being the victim in this situation. She understands and forgives her partner because she knows that this behavior came from a place of fear not malice, it's redundant for you to be concerned and wary on behalf of a character who'd disagree with you.

I appreciate further insight into your opinions, and I hope that I am not coming off as too pushy or confrontative. However, my stance still remains: I find you take on Sea Fairy to be rooted in a lack of information, and your criticism of Blue Lily to be moot, given the story resolved that ordeal all on its own. I don't think the exclusive criticism of sapphic-coded characters in media to be appealing or in good faith, even if it's passive and with no ill-intent. So if you want us to further talk about these two, I'd be more than happy to. I'm only sorry to say that this post has done little to reinforce your points about these two.

Tl;dr: -Sea Fairy's love for Moonlight has had two stories written around it, it's not "SF simps for ML just because." You are entirely wrong on that account. -You're criticising Blue Lily for something that was already solved within the story, and for contrived writing that she isn't really guilty of.

I hope you get more asks in the future, for even if I disagree with you right now: I'd genuinely like to read more of your thoughts on the franchise and its characters.

Why is it such an issue for women's characters/lore to be "They have a very important other woman in their life who they appreciate very much"? Blue Lily and Sea Fairy's love for their respective partners is, like it or not, legitimate and interesting lore. You not understanding or liking it doesn't make it bad.

Personally for me, as a giant shipper, I dislike it when a character's lore is solely "They love an important person in their life." and their lore is handled poorly, or their an important character whose lore should be more than that.

I'm glad you like their lore!  But for me I feel like Bluelily and Sea Fairy's lore is handled poorly and I'll explain why. I'll go over Sea Fairy first, then Bluelily.

[TLDR at the bottom if anyone wants to skip my long explanation.]

[Before I begin with explanations though, I'd like you to know that I've barely played ovenbreak, It's been hard for me to play and enjoy the game without quitting a month later because I don't understand the meta, trophy race being difficult, and the new update being garbage. So I don't know much about ovenbreak lore unless it's the main story or it's from Age of the Dragons and other future updates. (I wasn't around for Feast in the Yakgwa Village though.)]

[If I get anything wrong or miss anything, please let me know so I can correct it! Thank you!]

[With that I'll get into explanations.]

💧Sea Fairy:💧

My first point I wanna make on why I think Sea Fairy's lore is bland, is that she's supposed to be a legendary!

Sea Fairy is supposed to be on the same level as Frost Queen, who died of an illness and became a Nature's Herald and Guardian whose mission is to make sure that frost children become one with the snow and to make sure order is maintained.

The same level as Moonlight, who was created by ancient wizards, knew that Dark Enchantress would be created, knows the secrets of the city of wizards, and is strongest in her sleep.

Yet, we don't know much about Sea Fairy other than she simps for Moonlight and she was frozen by some curse we barely know about. We don't get much about her to think she's really legendary. Especially in kingdom.

We don't know how Sea Fairy came to be, We don't know much about her backstory, etc. And since Sea Fairy is supposed to be a legend, having her lore just be "I'm in love with Moonlight" is a very bad idea. She should feel far more important than the cookie whose a Moonlight simp!

and for my other point, I like Seamoon, I've shipped it for a long time, but Seamoon is handled poorly, if Devsisters is even going for Seamoon being canon. Because when I tried looking for canon Seamoon material I couldn't find anything, I was just left with a lot of questions.

How did Sea Fairy and Moonlight meet?

Why is Sea Fairy so in love with Moonlight?

Why does Moonlight never mention Sea Fairy in her relationship chart?

To my knowledge, none of these questions get answered at all. We haven't gotten the answers to any of these and as a result, Sea Fairy x Moonlight feels bland now that I'm looking back on it.

We never see them interact, we never see how Moonlight views Sea Fairy, All we see is Sea Fairy being a simp, which for me doesn't make a ship look interesting.

I love Sea Fairy's concept. I've always found the connection between the ocean and the moon to be interesting. But I feel like Sea Fairy is poorly written, and I hope we see more Sea Fairy lore in the future. Especially in kingdom since Sea Fairy hasn't appeared in any events at all there.

💙Blue Lily:💙

As for Blue Lily, it's not that I want more lore for her, her amount of lore is fine. It's that I think her lore/relationship with Lilybell is handled poorly and that after the Curse of the sacred forest story, she really comes off as a jerk to me.

She assumed the worst out of Gingerbrave and co from the beginning of the story.

Acted like a jerk to everyone else for the entirety of the story.

Would have left Poison Mushroom behind instead of save them from the deer had it not been for Lilybell.

Threatened to leave Lillybell, the partner she supposedly cares about so much in the middle of a dangerous situation.

Almost ended up leaving Lilybell a different scene had it not been for the deer! All because Lilybell asked Blue Lily if she could do anything about everyone else arguing.

The reason she acted like a giant asswipe was because she saw Lilybell being nice to Gingerbrave and co and was afraid Lilybell would leave her and the village for complete strangers. This leaves me wondering how long they've know each other.

Apologized to Lilybell, but never to Gingerbrave and co for being an asswipe.

I’m supposed to like her but I can’t. The conflict between Blue Lily and Lilybell feels forced, and we only see Blue Lily being a simp for Lilybell and acting cold towards everyone else. We have yet to see Blue Lily acting nice in the story which makes it difficult for me to like Blue Lily or ship Blue Lily and Lilybell.

I want to ship them but because of the way Blue Lily acts, it really rubs me in the wrong way and pushes me away from shipping them or even liking Blue Lily. She was right that you shouldn't trust strangers you just met, but she went too far with it.

I really wish Blue Lily’s lore was handled better.

⌛TLDR:⏳

I find Sea Fairy and Blue Lily's concepts interesting, But their lore is basically "I'm in love with Moonlight/Lilybell." and the actual ships themselves kinda suck in canon because we don't even know how Moonlight views Sea Fairy, and Blue Lily has had very little to no positive interactions with Lilybell. Plus Sea Fairy is a legendary and should have more lore than what we got. Especially in kingdom.

Again, no problem if a part of their lore is "They have a very important other woman in their life who they appreciate very much", it's a problem for me when that's all of their lore when they should be more important, and or it's handled poorly.

I'm glad you like their lore! But personally I disagree. I wish you a wonderful day/night! (Also this was my first ask, thank you so much! Sorry this took long!)

Every few weeks or so I'll receive an ask questioning why I've stopped posting content here, or from someone asking if I could just pretty please repost the original concept draft of MGMF because they don't want to buy the book, and every time I delete them without answering.

Because the answer is, to me at least, pretty obvious.

The people who are actually interested in supporting my writing (and supporting it means I get to write it and they get to read it) have already followed me to my Patreon, if they can afford it, or else they purchase my books when they come out. Some amazing folks do both, some can only afford to do the latter, and I'm insanely grateful to all of them.

The majority of readers who have *not* followed me aren't actually interested in my writing, they're interested in free writing. And that's totally fine. My writing is not a high enough priority for them to seek out, and they are not a high enough priority for me to specifically cater to. And again - that's fine. That's the way of the world, the way of the beast.

What those readers are NOT entitled to is my time. To @momolady's time. To @geekinglikeaboss's time. If you have neither the will nor the means to seek out and support our work, that's fine. But you don't then get to make demands of us.

I have a half-finished post in my drafts that has become part how-to on self pubbing and part essay, started back when I published Girls Weekend. My perspective has changed a lot in a year. I see things differently from the other side of the best-seller's list. I have a lot more insight to offer, but I'm also a bit more jaded.

What I can tell all of you aspiring authors out there is that everyone in the publishing world makes money. Cover designers. Editors. Formatters. The companies that distribute our ARC copies, the companies that send out our mailing lists, the companies who run ML builders and swaps. Amazon ads, FB ads, IG ads. The bookish accounts who sell book tours for publicity. The artists who make art of someone else's characters to prop up their patreons and the professional crafters making a buck off someone else's intellectual property on Etsy. Everyone in publishing makes money . . . everyone except the author, in most cases. We make *literal* pennies per page. Unless one is very, very lucky (and I am forever grateful to be able to say I was) most authors just hope to break even on every book we write. To say nothing about the mental and emotional toughening up one has to do to swallow bad reviews, which you will get. You have to swallow bad reviews that might break your spirit and ruin your day, and you still might not break even. But that's the business.

No one writes a book hoping to get rich.

No one writes commissions on Tumblr - again, for pennies on the dollar per word - hoping to keep a roof over their head. No one is hustling on Patreon with plans to move into penthouse apartments (again, unless one is very, very lucky.)

We don't write because we're running a money-making scheme. We write because we have to. Because if we don't get the words and characters out, they might choke us, and sometimes we love it and sometimes we hate it. It costs us time and effort and tears, and expecting the absolute bare minimum in return - for you all to respect our time, respect that we don't actually owe you shit IS, in fact, the bare minimum.

I don't owe you free content. Momo doesn't owe you free content. No creator on this site or any other owes you anything. And you don't get to ask anything of us that you're not willing to pay for.

I think it's an absolute joke that you're begging for money for your content, while you whine and complain that someone stole one (out of hundreds) of your stories and refuse to make content. I used to love your work, and donated regularly, but no more. I hope others do the same. Make content or stop begging for doing nothing.

This is the joke.
