Cardan is confident in his love for Jude and he knows she loves him just as much.

Aaron got to marry Ella.

Nikolai and Zoya are happy together.

Matthias died.

Dick loves his family and his friends so fucking much.

Sabrina gets her parents back, and she marries Puck.

Meg and Charles Wallace will always be connected.

Kaz found people who-more or less- care about him.

Klance is not canon.

Holly changed Artemis and he hates loves her for it.

Apollo loves his kids way more than zeus thinks he should.

Jason Grace didn't deserve that.

Eight died and Seven couldn't kill Five.

Fitz will never be the same.

Enola isn't alone.

Christian Dean and literally everyone he knows.

Itachi and Sasuke.

Vincent and Rody.

Syaoran and Sakura.

Henry and Alex.

Damen and Laurent.

Mychael.

Nimona.

Blossick.

...

Then I started sobbing cuz I'm crying over fictional people while listening to music, but the feels are really strong- I'm drowning, guys.

F.A.Q./Tags

Why do you go by Scum?

It’s just a nickname that I like! I don’t like my real name and would rather not go by it online. If calling me straight up 'Scum' is uncomfortable, you can call me 'Scummy'.

Do you write for ships?

If I like the ships in question, sure! Sometimes I might not if I think one character is too hard to write for, though.

Why don’t you write fantasy themes?

I am, not that creative, to be blunt HAHA. I get that Ikevamp is fantasy technically, but hard fantasy is something I can’t do. 'Realistic' fiction is my strong suit.

Why do you screenshot replies?

Sometimes I'd like to open more discussion on what is being talked about if it's game related, with tumblr's new feature of being able to change which of your blogs can reply to a comment now, I don't need to screenshot replies as often as I used to.

This is a side blog?

Yeah, I don't talk about my 'main' blog often since I'll occasionally reblog horror art or similar uncomfy things, and I honestly don't use it much.

My main is @strawberry-scum, and my likes/follows come from that blog. If you want to block me properly, you'll need to block that blog (and this one!). If you only block my writing blog, I can still interact with your posts from main and I won't be able to realize you have me blocked!

I tagged you in something and you didn't respond...

Sometimes I don't get notifs for tags! I have realized Tumblr has added a feature to where if OP has me blocked, or if I have OP blocked, I don't seem to get notifs when I am tagged on their post and I can't reblog them!

But also, I tend to forget to respond to tags at times. I enjoy them!! I am happy to be tagged! I am just a scatter brain and forget to respond later.

Tags for folks who may wanna blacklist them:

‘Replies’- This is for the posts where I reblog/ screenshot replies to my posts.

‘Comms’- For any discussion about me taking commissions/commission posts. I know it bothers some folks so to avoid folks gettin grumpy, there is that tag to use.

‘Spoilers’- On the off chance I reblog anything containing some spoilers, I’ll be using this tag. It also applies to any recent routes/events that are either ongoing or relatively new, and jp spoilers.

Typically, if it is smth specific, like concerning a brand new route to a game, I will tag it as [game] spoilers or similar. Concerning routes, I like to have a monthlong grace period from the route release to keep tagging spoilers about that route. Otherwise, after that month, I won't tag it as spoilers any longer.

'q' - Is my queue tag! I am too lazy to type out the full word on the rare occasions I load it up.

'Srb' - Means Self ReBlog! For when my q is reblogging older works of mine that you've maybe already seen!

'Scum Simps' - When I am going Feral over any character I am gonna try to tag it as this. 'Scum plays' tag will be paired with this often.

'Scum Plays' - When I post screenies of ikemen games or talk about ongoing game events/routes.

'Scum Talks' - I am trying to tag any talking that is writing updates and similar with this. I forget often and I apologize in advance.

'Gil Posting' - For when I'm talking about Gilbert. I've gotten messages in the past from people who dislike him Greatly, and since I don't want every post I make about him going in official tags, I'll try to use this tag.

'Scum Rants' - once in a while, I'll rant about fandom issues as a whole (not specifically the fandoms I am in, just generalized fandom behavior), or issues with online spaces in general. These posts are never pointed directly at a single person, since I don't enjoy 'vaguing' people who may follow me and similar, these posts are typically me just getting annoyed at awful behaviors being repeated around various social media or bad writing/fandom takes that friends/I have suffered through.

This is the tag I'll use for those rants! If you think it's about you, it's not! I would have uh. Blocked you to be blunt.

'Qotd' - for when I am replying to Questions of The Day, from @ikemen-daily-questions .

It's likely I'll forget to use these tags occasionally, and while I usually don't mind making specific tags for people to block specific content, at the end of the day this is my blog. I'm gonna ramble and talk about what I want. If you don't want the rambling, I suggest just paying attention to my ao3 for fic updates.

Tag/F.A.Q. list may be subject to change in the future, yeehaw

The likes/reblog ratio issue is real, and as a content consumer on this site I have to admit that even I can be a part of the problem. It's mostly a mood thing, procrastinating like: I'll reblog this later (and I do that often) but sometimes I'm too lazy to go back. The easiest posts to reblog are the ones with fun relatable context, so even the most beautiful edits can be dismissed with just a like 'cause selfish-passive-consumer-me is being selective about what to share on my own blog... (1)

ah, yea i get the whole “liking it and reblogging it later” thing! 

i do that all the time too, when i’m outside or too busy to actually leave proper tags, i’ll leave a like to bookmark it and then maybe a few hours later hop back in and reblog it!

and this isn’t about just,,, everyone reblogging every single post, we all just like stuff sometimes, or we just forget to reblog it later on cause we forget it or we’re busy. 

but those lil things aren’t really the issue - the issue are the people that really just don’t care. they want to see the best content possible all the time, but can’t be bothered to support the creators! 

i had multiple anons in my inbox yelling and throwing fits over me speaking up about the reblog ratio - some with more insults than others.

but those are also the people that cry the loudest when the tag is empty. 

and yea, the easiest posts to reblog are the silly ones, the ones that you can just laugh at - but you can reblog a drawing, writing or an edit without a comment too. 

of course a lil comment in the tags or caption are amazing, but we creators would rather have a silent reblog before we just get a bunch of likes that don’t really help us on here. no one is forcing you to add a comment if you reblog something.

but god yea, like you said - please be as active as you can with your feedback. your creators need it.

also - you are one of the best asks i’ve gotten about this. you shared your point and actually just talked properly, i appreciate that.

[ted-hyung]

So I hear you're a b1a4 supremacist, and I'm here to learn.

 i said on my previous B1A4 post that 2012 was a blessed year for BANA. 3 albums and LOTS OF VARIETY SHOWS asfjksak listen oppa is old and was blessed with gods of variety shows that appeared on sesame player: INFINITE then MBLAQ (if you have time just google it with english sub they’re amazing). B1A4 was considered a super rookie back then, their popularity was still behind both infinite and mblaq yet there they were. it’s like the upgraded version of MTV match up, sans the humiliation lmao.* fun fact: who invented being a lazy scholar slash the original bear? CNU. did grandpa jinyoung make his first appearance on sesame player? YOU FUCKING BET im wheezing at the subway scene PLEASE WATCH THE WHOLE SERIES.

i believe this was a short series like 2 eps? and they were in japan and as they played hide and seek gongchan was locked out of their hotel because he went out to the balcony located in the hallway to hide and the door is locked from the inside. it’s safe to say i was worried af for his fate. spoiler alert: just watch it please lmao.

5. WEEKLY FUCKING IDOL

IT’S SANDEUL. trust me doni said so, unfortunately i couldn’t remember which episode that he said to a rookie boy group that had to do the girl group dance challenge and they showed sandeul’s footage dancing to… GIRL’S DAY SOMETHING JESUS.

anon-sshi, i hope you will have a good time watching all of the videos above. the links should work and you can search the next episodes on each respective youtube channels. i hope you will laugh until you cry or cry until you understand why this oppa is a B1A4 supremacist lmao.
