Fancomic from @littlefiendwaaaaaaaaaaaah!
On the Discord server, @littlefiendwaaaaaaaaaaaah suggested that an array of Febreze scents could be used to communicate with macrovolutes, and I pointed out that would be like trying to communicate via a soundboard of miscellaneous sounds...and so, this was born.
Btw, you can access the Discord server by subscribing to the Patreon for at least $1:

Introducing my chat mascot, Jorbo, and his favorite vocal stim 👽✨
Jorbos are alien creatures that have infested the moonbase and represent my commoonity! They have a ton of neurodivergent traits that represent auDHD folks like myself and many members of chat.
One of these traits is an upcoming feature from VTS P.O.G. that allows the model to make soundboard noises! Chat can use channel points to redeem "vocal stim" and play a random sound.
They have a ton of species lore which I presented on stream but will be posted soon in the discord for reference! There's also a template for making your own jorbosonas and it's been so fun seeing everyone's creations.
Fun fact: I drew and rigged Jorbo's model myself, he's actually just a live2D item with my arms attached to give the illusion that he's part of my base model!

hello..👋👋
as someone who wants to get into arthurian legends.. where do you think I should start? is there a precise canon to follow? oh and.. this might be a stupid question but.. how would you describe guinevere's and lancelot's relationship...? i personally really like them because of what I've heard online, but i got shamed for liking it a while ago from people who really hated guinevere and said gawain or galehaut(not sure if i spelled it right) would be better for lancelot..
Hello anon!
I have a Beginner’s Guide to Medieval Arthuriana pinned on my blog. There’s no precise canon to follow, but you’ll get the most bang for your buck reading the works of Chrétien de Troyes and the Vulgate Cycle. Much of what Chrétien developed ended up in the Vulgate, like Lancelot rescuing Guinevere from kidnapping, but there are more elements added from other stories, such as Lancelot’s upbringing in the lake which originated from Lanzelet by Ulrich von Zatzikoven. On the other hand, Yvain’s journey as Knight with the Lion doesn’t make it into the Vulgate, so that’s worth reading on its own.
Regarding the part about people shaming you: block them if you haven’t already and anyone else who does so in future. I’m terribly sorry those people were unwelcoming as you begin to read and learn about Arthurian Legend. Let that not reflect on the community as a whole—there’s many lovely people here that’ll be happy to help you along. I hope you’re able to cultivate a positive online experience to the best of your ability and start enjoying the legends with us! :^D
But back to the fun stuff—I also really like Guinevere/Lancelot! My favorite dynamic is when Arthur is included too, but Guin is my number one pick for Lancey. ;^) It’s hard to describe them in so few words but I think it’s important to establish that they’re friends. This is an oft overlooked aspect that really deserves attention. They care for each other deeply. She helps him out of his madness and he helps her out of danger. This is something Arthur couldn’t do for either of them, much as he wanted to. That’s what makes the pair special, to me.
As for shipping wars about medieval characters….kinda ridiculous! And shaming other people over it is just abhorrent. I’m sorry you had to deal with that! Personally I enjoy Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot and Galehaut/Lancelot. I think it’s obvious I favor Gawain with his wife Ragnelle lol but Gawain/Lancelot is fine too. Gawain can have a little Lancelot. As a treat. I even enjoy “crackship” type pairings, like Bedivere/Lancelot or Kay/Lancelot or maybe a little [unrequited] Agravaine/Lancelot, and if the author or filmmaker chooses to write her in a positive light, Elaine/Lancelot as well. But that’s just it—there’s certainly no such thing as a “better” person(s) to couple with Lancelot. It’s literally fake. It’s fiction. It’s for fun! Doesn’t sound like the people you’ve encountered were having very much fun and put that on you, which was wrong.
Here I’d like to mention I run a discord server called the Arthurian Theater Server. Every weekend I stream TV shows and movies, mostly Arthurian, sometimes random fantasy. But it’s more than visual media—my friends and I share resources, character playlists, art we made, stories we wrote, we’ll liveblog retellings or newly discovered medlit translations, and discuss anything else Arthurian! We have custom made emojis for all the knights and ladies, a variety of original art stickers of the characters provided by several members, and an array of sounds bites ripped from films and TV for the soundboard to be played while streaming. Tumblr can be a little hard to navigate with the unreliable tag system, so this server is dedicated to an organized and moderated exchange of ideas and content. You’re welcome to join us!
Let me know if you have any other questions, it’s never a bother. Take care!

Hi! I’m interested in writing a realistic teen fiction novel set in high school, focusing on multiple students and their everyday lives both within and outside of school. I want the story to feel like you're reading someone's diary, similar to shows like Freaks and Geeks, Skam, and My Mad Fat Diary. Sooo, any prompts or ideas to help me get started? Or advice? Anything will do! Thank you so much!
The challenge or writing realistic teen fiction when you're not a teenager is quite high. You always run the risk of outdated references, incorrect slang, and overall awkward writing.
DO go for universal experiences. Teenagers throughout the ages deal with the challenges of dating, parental conflict, pressures to get the highest scores or hang out with the right crowd. Kids are going to go through the same experiences no matter how much the world changes. Tap into those emotions and think about what you went through as a teen. How do you project those experiences and emotions onto your character? Could you give them similar challenges? Put them through situations you managed to avoid? Lean on what you know.
DO treat your characters with respect. Yes, even the guy who smokes too much weed has a much richer inner life than you may put to paper. You don't have to give every character a ten-page backstory and a showcasing scene, but do be sure to give depth to both your main characters and antagonists. Don't brush off their concerns or values - even if you think fighting over a prom date is silly in hindsight - as unimportant.
DO focus on setting and specifics. Where your story is based and what's going on in the environment is going to vastly impact what issues your teen characters will face. Some teens may face issues with drugs and environmental violence. Others will have more experience with dealing with online bullying. A lot of teens are far more used to LGBTQ peers and more accepting environments, but that doesn't mean issues of racism, transphobia, and homophobia have gone away. Where you set your story and what's going on in the environment around it are going to be really important when it comes to coming off as genuine.
And a few don'ts...
DON'T chase the latest trends. There are a lot of things that will date your work within the year, if not months. Twitter is nearly as dead as MySpace, no one says 'on fleek' anymore, and the latest iPhone is not going to sound impressive if someone reads your story two years from now. That isn't to say you should social media or cell phones entirely - that would be silly - or that you should try to disguise them by using some made-up name. Neither would really work. If TikTok is going to be in your characters' lives, talking about it even with a casual line is a better option than pretending it doesn't exist. But if you hinge your plot entirely on TikTok drama, and by the time your book or story comes out no one uses TikTok anymore, you'll be shooting yourself in the foot. Play it safe and lean into generics if your story heavily involves online behavior ('some stranger is sending me DMs' versus 'I'm being bullied via my Discord server's soundboard').
DON'T appropriate experiences that aren't yours. It's really tempting to project what you feel about current events into teen characters, and it's not wrong to write really passionately about something that affects both you and your teenage characters, but think it through. Does your white character single-handedly resolve racism in their school? That's just not going to happen. Is your character's heroic moment tackling the school shooter before he kills someone? Take a long step back and think about what these moments mean for the teens that go through them. You run the real risk of making their lives seem trite and meaningless by presenting an easy solution to a complex problem. A teenage hero with a sword may save a kingdom in a fantasy novel, but in the modern world, dealing with bigotry and violence are complicated issues that require solidarity, collective action, and allyship, not savorism.
DON'T cut corners by making your characters 'really into 80s music' or similar anachronistic interests. Listen, I know this is painful, but as popular as Stranger Things is, your teens characters are probably not listening the Best of the 80s on a regular basis when not in the car with their parents (or, uh, grandparents). They're likely not really into TLC, I doubt they can name all the Spice Girls. You may think you're giving them a funny quirk by having them be really into something you know a lot about, but you risk alienating your audience. I've put down more than one YA book because the author couldn't explain why her teen character loved U2, but couldn't name Taylor Swift if she tried. This... doesn't work. You may not listen to Doja Cat or Charli XCX, but you're doing yourself and your characters a disfavor in not considering who the artist or actor they care about is, and why. Figuring out what your characters are into can be really worth the insight it brings. You can, of course, skip pop culture for the most part if your plot doesn't touch it - but don't believe for a second your characters don't know who Ariana Grande is, c'mon.
Angie Thomas's THE HATE THAT U GIVE is a classic for a lot of reasons, but a big part of it is that she's able to juggle all of the above without coming off as insincere or contrite. Her main character knows that dealing with police violence is complicated. Tupac Shakur's music plays an important part of the book because it's relevant to the character and her experiences, not just because it's something the author knew well. And Starr Carter didn't save the world from the problems plaguing her, but she did take a stand against them. Angie Thomas's work is a masterclass in understanding how teenagers think even if you aren't one, and I'd recommend reading them to get a feel for how to handle a teenage voice.

Another Million Dollar Idea
So lately I've been doing lots of listed and unlisted streams from the Playstation 5. Mostly unlisted. Previously, when I wanted to stream something to my friends, I'd have to open the Elgato on my desktop and pipe that in through Discord, which works but isn't ideal.
For one, my PC is rapidly showing its age, so I have to dump the Elgato down to 720p30 because Discord chugs when capturing this window. Mostly it's good at auto-cropping to only the gameplay, but sometimes it gets confused and will capture the entire window, where you see the settings and buttons. So it kinda sucks.
The easier way to do that is to start up an unlisted YouTube live stream to my dump channel and link it to my friends on Discord. Whatever resolution I want, 60fps, no muss, no fuss. Quick and painless. Here's a stream from the other day where I showed a friend the new version of Asphalt 9 for PS5. It's just raw gameplay footage, no mic:
And, when I want to do a bigger stream, with all my alerts, pop-ups, sounds and rewards, I can always warm up OBS and stream to Twitch properly.
Recently, I house sat for a cousin for eight days. I treat this like a vacation. I can't really work on videos or games or podcasts very much, so I just kick back and chill out. And since these consoles can stream, I can do very long (like 6+ hour) streams easy-peasy.
But let's be real: streaming to Twitch through the PS5 (and the PS4) sucks. I'd have to go in and turn off all my alerts and buttons and overlays, because none of that works on the console stream. The whole thing feels extremely limited, and it's even worse on PS5, where it will automatically end your broadcast if you try to switch games.
But this time around I tried to get something going where I could still get all of my fancy notifications and graphics and still stream from the PS5. The hope was to use remote play on my laptop with the PS5 in the same room, but remote play is too thirsty on the bandwidth for that. Or my 13 year old laptop just can't hang running both OBS and Remote Play at the same time.
youtube
But it made me wonder: why should it have to be like this? Game consoles now are more like computers than ever before. There's nothing stopping these systems from supporting real streaming features, like overlays and pop-ups.
And it feels like a deeply untapped market, when you think about it. Imagine if, say, Microsoft came out swinging that the Xbox Series X was the one stop box for professional streamers. Full support for customizable Twitch alerts and overlays, a way to set up soundboards, browser sources, trigger ad breaks, run polls, etc. etc. etc.
Like, think about Elgato. Elgato sells streaming hardware for the PC. Capture cards, lights, cameras, shortcut decks, teleprompters, the works. Streaming and video production is a huge business for them.
If Microsoft or Sony cut in on that market a little bit and rebranded their console as The Only Streaming Hardware You'll Ever Need? Imagine branded streams and the loyalty that could generate.
And these systems have USB ports, obviously. They support common headset protocols through the headphone jack. You can plug professional equipment into them already. Why not have built-in hardware support for that?
The answer is that Microsoft and Sony probably only support Twitch begrudgingly, because some bean counter is annoyed they're "giving money away." After all, Microsoft owned and shut down Mixer. For a time they'd much rather you stay off of Twitch. When you see ads and buy subs they want some of that cut going their way, not to Amazon.
Which is ultimately very short sighted. Microsoft in particular has been rolling over and giving up a lot of ground the last three to five years. If they rebranded as the Xbox being the console for streamers to start and maintain a career over the long term, they could lock in a market that only exists on the PC right now.
If anyone at Microsoft or Playstation is reading this and uses this as inspiration I will take a one time payment of $250,000 for being the world's best ideas guy.

filling out my seams.
A while ago, sometime last year, I wrote up a long post about the bliss of feeling plushie, inanimate, synthetic, completely non-human. I never shared it. I've grown into this identity more since then and have digested the feelings as I was still fairly new to embracing it, back then. It didn't have time to fully sink in, my seams were still freshly sewn.
Now that I know myself better and have come to an even greater peace with my various non-human identities, a comfort has settled in. Friends acknowledge me as a plush, paying attention to my seams, the fluff inside of me, the textures my fabric have, knowing that using Discord's soundboard to make squeak toy noises is just inherently correct. It feels good. There used to be a bit more anxiety tied up in this, waves of relief flooding in when I was addressed as the object I know I am but also still feeling shame or embarrassment that I was just trying to ply pretend too hard. I'm not. I'm just a plushie sometimes.
I'm soft, squishy, and the bliss I feel being a comfort item for those I care about is indescribable, but it's good. My owner speaking softly to me before I go to sleep, filling my head with fluff and feeling the textures of my blankets touching me and becoming indiscernible from my own fabric makes me melt every time. The weight of being a plush the size of a person leaves your limbs and body feeling heavy and I feel like I just fit in with the pillows and other plushies that surround me. The feeling of listening to music that causes me to be excessively aware of my seams, how my fabrics are woven, the fluff that fills my body is unlike anything I've ever experienced. But again, it feels correct.
Growing up, pretending to be a person, not knowing I was neurodivergent and feeling like Something Else left me feeling so othered at times. Conversing with people was an awkward balancing act of navigating rules I never knew. Not knowing why certain textures and sounds made me want to claw and bite and cry was embarrassing. But learning that I am autistic, and now knowing the comfort of being perceived as I really am, an animal, a plushie, has brought me more relief than being a person ever did. I still pretend. Its easier to be a human when I need to be now. But now I know the comfort of surrendering all of that.
I am a soft presence to my friends, I am my owner's favorite toy.
I am a plushie. I don't need to be anything more~

Do you have like a discord or group you soundboard off of to create your plot ideas? What's your process like?
Oh lovely, the only group I soundboard off of are the voices in my head
Thanks for the ask! see below for my rambling extended answer lol
Wasn’t kidding though, I have no sound board but myself. I’m a hardcore editor so, even though typos get past me, I’m always looking at my writing from a very critical “does this make sense” angle and tweaking until it does. Continuity pleases me. I like for my writing to connect, for things to line up. I’m not against maybe having a beta in the future? I’m unfortunately very bossy when it comes to my writing though, maybe even a little conceited, so maybe I need to save some poor soul from a toxic relationship and just not seek a beta period lol.
Although my process…hm, hard to describe, because I can’t say the process is necessarily consistent. I don’t write linear at all.
See, what happens is: I know my big events. I have hallmarks in the story that are non-negotiable for the progression of the primary plot (Cloud’s story of being in the past, his ultimate mission to save Gaia). Every major event that happens, including the ending, I’ve had marked out for weeks now. Granted, I’ve made some changes as the plot progressed, but knowing my main events allows me more wiggle room for bits of foreshadowing. The parade was one of those hallmarks, because it was sort of the lever for the Firsts really going “Okay what the fuck is wrong with this kid.”
Along with those are subevents, which aren’t as rigid but also need to happen. Those are for the progression of aspects of the plot, such as romantic developments and Cloud’s ‘day to day’ realizations. Scenes like that include Sephiroth and Cloud bumping into each other at night and Angeal tending to Cloud’s wounds.
What happens in between, I freestyle. As ideas come to me, I write them out. So I’m actually writing very often, it’s just that what I’m writing isn’t necessarily for the next chapter so much as a future chapter. I have a document specifically for flashback ideas and a separate one for event ideas, and a ‘scrapbook’ for things I discard in one scene that I sometimes use somewhere else.
MILD SPOILERS FOR 16 IF YOU HAVENT READ YET: As I write a chapter I outline what events I want to happen and what’s the point of those events. I joke about 16 mostly being flashback, but when I choose a flashback to include in a chapter (because trust me, I have a lot) I am always keeping in mind (1) what the next major event is and (2) how that characterization of Cloud will give more depth to his reaction to the event. 16 is very responsibility and community focused for a reason, specifically highlighting how Cloud refuses to abandon things he finds himself responsible for even if it injures him emotionally. And it’s there because that’s going to be important soon ;)
something i get stuck on often (and i bitch abt it in 16’s A/Ns) is dialogue. I love dialogue but hate writing it. I’m the sort of person who needs to describe expressions and movements CONSTANTLY and I’m always struggling to balance keeping immersion in a scene and not writing too damn much. To circumvent my tendency to avoid those scenes, I’ll usually write a bare bones scene with nothing but the dialogue and the speakers’ names, sort of like a play script, and then go back and fill in details once I’ve written in emotional shit and other more crucial scenes.
Overall, when I write I just be Back On My Bullshit™️ and kind of spazz all over the place, deleting what won’t make sense in the long run and keeping what I think can be twisted well around the main events. You probably weren’t looking for an answer this fucking convoluted but uhhh hope you enjoyed anyway! 😆

so the majority of my vegaspete kinnporsche experience has been on twitter—until now. twitter may and well be truly dead, now. for those who don’t know, the whole dang site isn’t loading tweets, and musk is either a) deranged enough to say or b) covering his ass by saying that there are now tweet limits for VIEWING. not posting. viewing.
many tumblr people scoff at twitter. but for a fandom experience, it really does allow for a wonderful group-project-like soundboard for fics, headcanons, and drabbles. unlike tumblr, branching threads can happen all from one post, all viewable at once. that means that one person can post a prompt, and 8 people can come up with different ideas and all contribute without speaking very “loudly” as it were. on tumblr, everything you say is proclaimed quite loudly on your tumblr bc you have to reblog it. and then of course replies can become quite unwieldy and non-chronological.
the twitter vegaspete fandom (specifically the pro-kink, anti-bullying, pro-having fun with fiction corner I had built my twitter experience into showing me) was absolutely lovely. just, wonderful people. if twitter is gone I will treasure the amazing fic threads and vegaspete jokes, ideas, and meta opinions I got to see there, as well as the friends I made! some of them I’ve reached out to on here already, but basically:
if you were twitter mutuals with twitter user weamrights, with the same icon and longer title username as on here, feel free to shoot me a dm here! I’d love to just identify the people I know from twitter. there may be new social media sites we all flock to, or discord groups or whatever. so if staying in friendly fandom contact with me sounds good, yeah, hit me up!
