[melonisopod]

NO WAY NO WAY THEY ARE ACTUALLY DIONG IT THIS IS EVERYTHING

MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Joyful tidings on my private twitter

[bomber-grl]

Shun Kaidou x Reader who appears to be cold but is actually soft ❤︎₊ ⊹

Pairing(s): Shun Kaidou x Gn!Reader

LOLOL this guys is so silly

He’s terrified and so intimidated by you, just as he initially was with Aren 😭

He’s so hesitant to approach you especially since he’s over here shivering and timbering in his boots but of course nendo approaches you

That’s what leads you to the group because Saiki couldn’t care less and Kaidou is this close 🤏 to shitting himself when he’s around you

Atleast at first

I mean you’d usually tag along with them but never really let go of your coldness

That’s what made it difficult for him to even connect with you- I mean how could he at this rate?

You’re always straight faced and seem to not care about, well, anything

Of course he’d be hesitant to even talk to you

But eventually you’re at school and it happens to just be the two of you

He approaches you just expecting to have some awkward small talk and when you compliment his “powers” he immediately perks up

He lightens up and immediately starts chatting away while you listen

After that you usually egg him on while he’s talking about his jet black wings alter ego and he likes it

A lot actually

But eventually he realizes he’s never talked to you fr

I mean most times he’s clinging to talking your ear off but it’s only when you’re about to get mugged does he realize how he had the completely wrong idea

Not only do you defend him but you’re so nice to him afterwards

Literally the beginning of his crush

And now let’s timeskip to when you’re dating

He’s so shocked about how kind and loving you really are

I mean one second you’re gaze is as cold as ice while telling off people for making fun of him then you’re gazing at him so warmly

Like he’s everything to you and he just doesn’t know how to feel about

You guys are so sappy and again, he doesn’t know how to handle it

I mean the moment he started dating you was almost an instant switch and honestly? He loves it

Not to mention how you aren’t actually even cold at all 😭

It’s all in Kaidous head and when he realizes it because someone tells him he’s sorta bummed (??)

I mean in actuality you’re always willing to talk to people just that you don’t look like you want to be there

Which Kaidou takes advantage of 😭

He’s pretty possessive in his own right

I mean after dating you how could he?

You’re so sweet and genuinely so funny and actually listen to him and treat his dark reunion thing seriously

Also helps when he doesn’t want to socialize while you’re out and when you run into thief’s or punks

A win is a win

Well anyway, he’d be nervous to introduce you to his mom

I mean at first she probably mistakes you for a thug or something 😭

Rightfully so but eventually even she eases up (if u meet her criteria 😒) and even congratulates Kaidou for finding someone as sweet as you

He probably uses you as a body guard to keep people away but you love him so it’s fine

Honestly you guys are just the cutest

fic writer meme!

[RISES FROM THE DEPTHS] I'm here!! Thank you so much @uhuraisgay and @englishsub for the tags, and also for reminding me that I've missed Tumblr

1. how many works do you have on ao3? 50 even - which was more than I thought!

2. what's your total ao3 wordcount? 187,448

3. what fandoms do you write for?

My fic-writing impulses come along like cicada seasons, except without any regularity whatsoever: I do a lot of dabbling in a lot of fandoms, I can never really tell if something's going to light my brain on fire. Most of my fic output came from Yuletide for a long while (I loved the grab bag aspect and writing little treats for small fandoms, but then my holidays got busier), and then Yuri on Ice and MDZS were my biggest fandoms by far, especially MDZS. I've written Yuwu recently, and I'd love to write some Trigun, LoZ, or Mysterious Lotus Casebook one of these days.

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

grow

the only way out

The Guests of Cloud Recesses

detente

bespoke

And the soft animal is our runner-up at #6!

5. do you respond to comments?

I usually don't unless it's a request or a question, but I read and treasure every one.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I am too tender for Bad Endings for the most part, but my canon-verse Nie Huaisang fic after me comes the flood does not end in a particularly good place for anyone involved. (But even then, we know it gets better for him eventually... albeit at the expense of several bystanders)

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I tend to write pretty gentle, occasionally LIGHTLY bittersweet happy endings (that's the cafecliche guarantee baby) but part of me wants to say 'the only way out' (and probably 'the yunmeng accords' series in general) here. I tend to write fic when I want to play around with the emotions or relationship dynamics that can already be found in canon, so 'the yunmeng accords' is probably as close to a fix-it as I'm going to get.

8. do you get hate on fics?

Not usually! I was part of the Great MDZS Anon Hate Train of 2021, but that was the worst I've ever gotten by several magnitudes - the vast majority of commenters are fabulous.

9. do you write smut?

Not yet! It's not off the table, though.

10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you have written?

I actually don't think I've ever written a crossover! The closest I've ever gotten was when I look over my shoulder, but even that's 'Wangxian in a Conjuring-esque ghosthunters in love situation' and not really a formal Conjuring AU.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

I've had plagiarism brought to my attention a couple times, but truly just a handful. I still remember getting a message on FF.net that someone had ripped off a line from my Black Lagoon fic. The SCANDAL of it all.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

MDZS is the first fandom where I've gotten translation requests, which is always so cool! To my knowledge, I've had fics translated into Russian, Spanish, and Ukranian.

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but brainstorming fic concepts with my brilliant friends is one of my favorite thing in the world.

14. what's your all time favorite ship?

omg ever? Well Victuuri and Wangxian have been the ones that really lit my brain on fire (if I own the Nendos, it's serious) but let me also throw it back to Fakir and Ahiru in Princess Tutu. That is ROMANCE.

15. what is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I would have really liked to have one more entry to 'the yunmeng accords!' I had a couple of ideas that I really liked, but nothing that caught fire quite enough to dive into it. That said, I am currently working on something short and Yunmeng Shuangjie-related, at the very least...

16. what are your writing strengths?

Emotional through-lines, pacing, and that sweet, sweet catharsis. I'm drawn to particular fandoms when they leave me with an emotion that I need to break down over the course of several thousand words, and I know that shows through in my writing.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Choreography! I'm not a very visual thinker, so sometimes it takes me a while just to figure out how to block the characters in a given scene. I also have a lot of trouble getting into a draft until I figure out the voice, which, when it comes to fanfic, will either come to me extremely easily or not at all.

18. thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?

Yeah, absolutely! (But if you don't speak the language, do your research!)

19. first fandom you wrote for?

[rubs my temples] an X-Men crackfic.

20. favorite fic you have written?

Oh my god. WELL. 'grow' and 'the only way out' I think are the best fics I've written, and 'when I look over my shoulder' and 'the soft animal' are also extremely close to my heart. But 'detente' might be the favorite child. It just gushed out of me.

I think a great many of you have been tagged at this point, so sorry for any double-tags, but: @bluecrystalrainingdaggers @tigerjpg @floofyfluff @vinelark and anyone else who'd like to go for it!

[yellowheartz]

Damn, hold let me help you there. (Hcs in tags)

Guys my tummy hurts

Send me your saiki k hcs so I can recover

Nendo: Hahaha! You've forgotten how to play table hockey, huh, little man?

Kaido: Grrrr, shut up!! I'm just off my game today because keeping my Darksoul Hellbeam power suppressed is using up all of my strength!

Akechi: Hehehe, unless you decide to finally unleash your supposed hidden powers, Kaido, your reaction time is simply too lengthy to compete with Nendo's incredible speed. Your, ahem, "strategies" also leave something to be desired, particularly in considerations of "ethics" and "rules". As comical as it may be to witness your crushing defeat the first dozen times, this gag is becoming quite stale. I would suggest collaborating with Kuboyasu, should you wish to challenge Nendo again. It would certainly make for a much more even matchup!

Kuboyasu: Hell yeah, that sounds like fun!

Nendo: Oh, they're a team now? But I'm already bored.

Kuboyasu: Damn, that sucks! What if we... I dunno, switch the hockey puck with something else?

Kaido: Yeah, I saw that in a manga once! Let's do it!

Kuboyasu: Okay! But what should we use...?

Hii: Oh, I always have some stuff in my purse, let me see if I have something the right size... Ummm, how about this?

Kaido: That looks perfect! Thanks Hii-san!

Akechi: What is that? What did she give you?

Kuboyasu: No clue, some kinda bottle or something?

Akechi: There are clear warning labels on that bottle that indicate—

Nendo: Whatever, let's play!

Akechi: NO, you are NOT playing nitroglycerin ice hockey!!! This isn't that kind of series!!

Kaido: N-nitroglycerin?!

Kuboyasu: Oh shit, isn't that explosive or something⁉️

Hii: Ahaha, whoops!

PLM Diorama Mansion

#010: Skating Rink and #024: Kiss and Cry

Recently had these imported from Japan to display my Yuri!! On Ice Nendos.

[cherrraty]

in wake of the announcement of 2024's snow miku design winner, i realized that nothing was stopping me from entering the whole time so im (being incredibly excessive) making my own passes at all the previous snow miku competition prompts to get a hang of designing nendos around a theme. rabbit yukine actually wasnt part of the snow miku competition until a few years later but im including her in these since future years will include her.

this was the 2012 prompt which was snow miku with a jewel resembling snow/ice. decided to go a ballerina route. if i had to change anything id avoid changing her eye spacing and in hindsight im not sure if shes quite wintery enough?

My gadgets collection: My two Shouto Omanjuu and Round and Tiny Shouto and Dabi

My two Shouto Omanjuu are here! But since I've kind of talked already about what Omanjuu are, I'm also talking about the Round and Tiny plush series...

So, the Shouto Omanjuu first, who now keep company to my Dabi Omanjuu (we need a Dabi Omanjuu with Touya with white hair! We need it!).

One is from the first series of “My Hero Academia Omanjuu Squishy Mascot” (僕のヒーローアカデミア おまんじゅうにぎにぎマスコット ‘Boku no Hero Academia Omajuu Niginigi MASCOT’).

The other is from the second series of “My Hero Academia Omanjuu Squishy Mascot 2” (僕のヒーローアカデミア おまんじゅうにぎにぎマスコット2 ‘Boku no Hero Academia Omajuu Niginigi MASCOT 2’).

Here they are without the Dabi Omanjuu

And here you can see them from behind. Note how, in the one in which Shouto is using his ice Quirk, he has ice also behind himself.

The structure is more or less the same of the Dabi Omajuu as for the size here they are in comparison with my Nendo who're 10 cm tall.

They're cute little things, aren't they? And they're also so soft it' so nice to touch them...

For who's a Shouto love I'll tell you there are more Shouto Omanjuu, two with Shouto with fire instead than ice on his face and one of him smiling.

Sadly I don't have those.

Also there's an Endeavor Omanjuu.

Now the other thing I'm going to talk about are those two cute things from the series "My Hero Academia Round and Tiny Plush Toy vol. 2" (僕のヒーローアカデミア まるっとちんまりぬいぐるみvol.2 'Boku no HERO ACADEMIA marutto chinmari nuigurumi vol. 2).

Here in their commercial close up.

The name is self explanatory, they've round head, they're tiny and they're plushies.

And here it's the real deal.

As you can see their bodies are a little more elongated than what it seems in the official image. For me a charm point is their cute tiny feet... by the way, Shoto's feet for some reason seems longer than Touya.

As for the size here there's a Nendoroid comparison.

As you can see, despite the larger heads, their bodies are shorter than the ones of Nendoroids.

They're very nice to the touch, though not particularly soft.

I love how they tried to keep them detailed, look at Shouto's belt or at how Touya has his own tiny pouch... by the way, in case you're wondering, this is the Touya/Dabi of season 2, the one who didn't have yet his coat.

If you're European and want to buy them, I got them from ebay's konbi-store. they've no more Dabi but they still have 1 Shouto.

They've an odd shape but I still think they're cute and so nice to pet!

For Todoroki family fans it's worth to mention the first series contained a Shouto in U.A. uniform and an Enji in civilian clothes, while the third series contains an Enji dressed up as Endeavor.

[sir-adamus]

the thing for me about this picture in particular is that they're using the Ruby nendoroid - not like one of the RT licensed dolls or anything, a nendoroid, which is an odd thing to just be carrying about, even for the purpose of teasing stuff (and they've propped the figure on its box for this picture, which, again, weird thing to be carrying about)

which kinda makes me think, we might wanna be looking at goodsmile and the other production companies that were collaborating with RT when it came to Ice Queendom (so like, Goodsmile, Crunchyroll, Bandai Namco), because it makes sense that they'd have a boxed Ruby nendo for this purpose

something to think about, at the very least

oh, they're there

ears on the ground team, "we're back" drop at any time

[thehandwixard]

there is a sora nendo on ebay for literally ony 95 dollars which is insane but he doesnt have the sea salt ice cream. what does that say about me that thats kind of a dealbreaker

[capriciousvisage]

Touken Ranbu is a great series! You can effectively not even play the game. I've been a fan since 2016 and I think the only pairing I actively dislike is one of the only "big" pairs. But otherwise you can do whatever ship-wise, really! If you ever see a figure that's a male character in recent years, too, and not just a Nendo, you have Touken Ranbu to thank because they revolutionized the industry in that regard, and proved figured of male characters do sell lol.

Diluc & Diona is also a pair I'd like to explore a lot, but Klee & Diluc has my heart so bad. But Klee is just the sweetest little girl, it'd be difficult for anyone to not think so I think... haha.

Recently I've made friends that are more "fandom" focused. When I say that, I mean they are more focused on participating in any fandom that fandom has become its own fandom. I think it's a little difficult for me to explain. I think there's nothing wrong with this in particular, but it isn't my preferred method of participating with others (I don't tend to participate at large, and this is like, very at large participation, even for individualized fandoms they wouldn't otherwise be in or for media they wouldn't otherwise consider themselves to be fans of in the first place). Anyway, I bring this up because I think that may also have something to do with the greater division between canon and fanon; while the people I've become friends with are more on-line with "fandom olds" and thus care greatly about being IC and making things that show their love for a series, there's been an uptick in people who make things just because they know they can be "popular" if they stick to a particular fandom, particular tropes, and particular ships. It's similar but different to the friends I've mentioned: These fame-chasing ones are trying to create things that will get popular, and they aren't doing it out of love for the series.

Long have people said statements like, "Canon sucks, so I'm making it my own!" While there's nothing inherently bad about statements like these (fix-it fics are a good example of this pulled off well, as well as canon divergence in some cases), people have begun to extremely diverge from canon in any way possible in order to fit it more to their tastes instead of just... finding something else. Like I said before, I think a lot of people would be way better off if they just made original characters.

Related to the above two points, I have to mention the AUs. Like the college AUs or the florist/tattooist AUs or the coffee shop AUs. Some of these AUs can be extremely well done. Most, however, are just writing the tropes and not the characters. (The Batman thing sounds so dire. Like so, so dire.) Like you said, these people only know these characters from fanfiction (when I was 12 I read Kingdom Hearts fanfiction without playing any of the games, and I roleplayed and wrote a character on DeviantArt who I had just informed myself of entirely through ff.net, and it's always a shock to me to learn people do this today but they're well over twelve). It's like a neverending cycle. A fanfiction ouroboros. And they yell at you if you don't use de-facto "canon" fanon. Also I don't even think half the people writing college AUs have stepped on a college campus. Half the people writing coffee shop AUs have never worked at a coffee shop (as someone who has, I have never met a single customer I would have wanted to bang).

And I love AUs! I've been thinking of reviving a Diluc/Venti AU that I've posted a few chapters of already, because I did love the story for it. But AUs have a different appeal to me than others it seems; I enjoy writing AUs for the challenge of putting these guys in situations that are definitely not canon while still making them the same guys. Some people seem to have different priorities, and that's fine, but I'm not going to read it...

And the fanon gotchas... It reminds me of how people, prior to Ayato even being revealed, had made up a guy and had already begun to ship Thomato. With their fanon based on only a few lines. Then they got mad at MHY when Ayato was actually released and wasn't like that at all. I saw people getting into discourse about Kavetham weeks before Kaveh was officially revealed, like they were trying to speed run being the most annoying subset of fans. (This actually turned me off from Alhaitham and his fans as a whole for an entire year until I was shown how fucking funny he is.) An ex-friend once told me they really like Kavetham and Cynari, but that they're both "kind of toxic in canon", and that they heavily prefer fanon. I don't think you enjoy the ships at all, actually. You enjoy the idea of the ships. (I'm also still struggling to figure out how Cynari is toxic to this day.) I think the Batman situation you explained (which still sounds so dire) is in a similar boat to this. Just so completely divested from the original source.

I also want to mention Wrio/Neuvi. Even before the last event where they had one (1) singular scene, they had no chemistry or clear dynamic. They had said only a few lines to each other on screen, and not much was implied otherwise, too. But the fans somehow made up two entirely new characters and called it canon, saying they had even more chemistry than nvfr. This isn't even because nvfr is my current OTP either! I love Wriorinde and Furirinde and Neuvia and other combos too! But the insistence on it being canon combined with the utter lack of on screen and implied anything just is so mind boggling to me. And yet somehow it's so popular???!???? (And it's only because they're both guys, I know this deep in my heart. If even just one of them was a woman, it would be a rare pair.) Again I can see the appeal (especially with post-canon), but so many people just don't do it like they actually like and care for the characters. They extrapolate chemistry that wouldn't be there, instead of figuring out what sort of chemistry would be. I had to block someone the other day because they posted something about "we need a tag for Neuvi and Furina that's familial because he's her dad and you can't convince me otherwise" and I am just like WHAT!! Even if you think their relationship is purely platonic in every scenario, there are more types of platonic relationships than just familial!!! Be creative!! I think people really have forgotten what "headcanon" means...sadly. Don't insist it's canon!!

Like, I dunno. If people want to write these sorts of things, then I can't stop them even if I wanted to. But it's just such a sad state of affairs to me, to live like this. Some people are so passionate and creative but they just have a hatred towards the source material, whether they realize or not...and I have to wonder if they're actually having fun at all. I'm truly a fanfic writer who reads only books because the fanfic situation is so fucked up right now. But even debut books are really "fanfictionified" nowadays too.

Anyway. I should be sleeping LOL. This is not even a good quality rant... But I'm glad to know I'm not alone... the true rare pair shippers... we exist!!

(And yeah, I know! But I think it was more so I am still questioning so am in a weird phase where I both ID with aro and not hahaha)

yknow i say im a huge multishipper but i wouldnt actually consider myself much of a shipper at all. just open to the idea of trying everything once. the term has typically romantic connotations and follows the assumption that i think, and want, these characters to be good for eachother.

I'm, personally, less interested in the prexisting chemistry than i am in the puzzle of figuring out what differing circumstances could potentially cause two characters who have seemingly nothing in common to become eachothers everything.

This could explain my favorism towards rarepairs and more convoluted dynamics, and my aversion to popular, fluffy pairings that have already been explored a thousand times over, there's no work for me to do there.

Not to mention that when a ship becomes too popular it starts cannibalising itself, and lots of good, interesting characterisations are lost in the sea of people bending characters into pre-orchestrated, saccharine dynamics. alot of which are usually downright fetishy in nature, particularly in mlm pairings.

I mean i would say being able to get ooc and self indulgent is downright mandatory for making a good fic, but there's only so many times i have to read a fic about a big, overprotective, manly-man top who does all the work and the shy, small, swoony, softhearted femme-wifey-bottom before it starts to just be lazy.

I actively have to go out of my way to search 'switch' tags if i want true-to-the-character, mutual emotional reciprocation. which i really, really shouldn't have to do as an ace person who actively skips through nsfw.

And it's not that popular wlw pairings aren't guilty of these problems aswell, but those tend to lean more into the 'soft lesbians who can do no wrong' stereotype, which always completely (butch)ers all nuisance that makes the ship worth shipping in the first place.

As well as that's if they're even the focus of the story at all and aren't just shoved to the side by the main mlm couple. mlw pairings can be culpable of both these things, with the added risk that you find out the author made a twitter post with the characters in front of the 'super straight' flag.

Though i also wonder if me being aspec plays any part as again; im not as interested in the romantic aspects as i am in the possible hurdles they may face throughout the potential relationship.

Anyone else feel like this?

In case you don’t recognize the tree in this one, it was used in my first comic almost two years ago (one day late, what is wrong with me??).  I was sending some pictures of my new Victor Nendo to a friend when I saw the tree sitting on the counter (it was full of chocolates from a trip to France my parents had taken) and inspiration struck.  And Nendos on Ice was born!  Of course I’ve saved the tree and I pull it out every year.  You can read my series all the way from the beginning down below if you haven’t seen my first comic before.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season!
