HEY I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A DUMB ASK BUT LIKE IS THE IMAGE AT THE TOP OF YOUR BLOG A REFRENCE TO "Lower ones eyes" ?!!!!!?

Yes it is! I designed outfits for them based on the MV but I haven't figured out what to do with them juust yet

[apathetik12]

Made a doodle for @maybemoltenlava ‘s ask btw

Would’ve done this earlier, but I was busy :P srsly tho, I LOVE drawing characters right out of bed. It’s one of my guilty pleasures to give them a bed head and headcannon what they’d wear to sleep. It’s so fun

[pheracy]

If it helps (re Bucktommy) it’s not fully over! I don’t want to assure you they will reconcile but rn the show has hinted at a reconciliation and there are possibilities to actually see one! Fingers crossed for that one

Oooh that's good news! In Spain, Season 8 hasn't aired yet so I had no idea since they ended in a good note. So far out of all the characters (and the little I've seen), I'm interested the most in Evan's bi path. I think Tommy and him make such a cute couple, and like I said, their kiss scene and acting blew me away, I got deeply invested so quickly JAJAJ

Thank you so much for sending the message and letting me know I gotta keep my hopes up for them! I'm new to the fandom but you guys are the cutest 💙 Thanks for taking the time to tell me!

[anonymous-asexual]

Hello! I haven't been on your blog long but I poked around and saw you answered some questions, so if you could please make this public so others can see that would be appreciated, I am fine without anonymity :)

I'm a writer and I'm trying to improve my skills, and I was wondering what are some annoying tropes portrayed in fiction with asexual characters? Mostly so I can avoid them, but also so when I write ace characters, I write then accurately. And also, what variance would you like to see within characters of any sexuality/gender?

Thank you for hosting a safe space and sharing your stories!

Hi there! So sorry I didn't get around to this sooner. I wanted to make sure that I had a few good ideas before I sent them off to you.

One big issue with asexual characters in the media is that they can be shown as heartless or unaffectionate towards others, especially in regards to romance. Asexual individuals can be very affectionate depending on the individual, and many still seek out romantic relationships. Aromantic individuals may also desire affection and closeness without a romantic relationship.

A lot of asexual representation will also state that the reasoning behind the ace's identity is due to previous trauma, especially sexual trauma. However, while this can be true on occasion, it is most often not the case. If you do go the route of their identity being trauma-driven, make sure you take personal experiences of those who have experienced trauma into account. And please don't make the fix to trauma being to have sex in spite of their orientation. I doubt that you would, of course, but just thought I'd mention it.

Another big one is that asexuals tend to be played as underdeveloped or undeveloped side characters with little influence to the plot. This isn't to say that the asexual has to be a main character or protagonist, just that you should flesh out the character so that they are more than just asexual. It shouldn't be their only trait or their driving force in the storyline.

As far as gender/sexuality variance, having a few characters that have shifting genders or sexualities throughout the story would be great to see! Gender and sexuality are a spectrum, so showing how those identities can fluctuate and change given the character's experiences would be a great way to show character development.

Those are a few of the big ones that I could think of! There are more, of course, but I thought I'd keep this as short as I could. I hope that these help! If you have further questions in the future, feel free to reach out through the ask box or through DM's, and I'll be happy to help as much as I can. Also, if any followers think of anything they'd like to add, reblog with your own additions! Thanks for the awesome question!

Dipper and Stan snuggles? :)

Such a wholesome request how could I not

[abdalsalam2000]

Tumblr has stopped sending a large number of Asks to people. This is hurting Palestinian fundraisers, making it almost impossible to reach people who can donate. This is horrible. I have tried over and over again and I can only send 10 Asks per hour. Please share and donate.

[ashensamurai]

i've left this ask in my inbox for so long cause i'm really mad at it but i'm answering it now because THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS

Official ominous ask

[ayviedoesthings]

I have to ask, when you say “feral”, what do you mean exactly? To me it implies mental degradation, but I feel you mean it mostly with physical form.

I went feral on a pizza once

[captainsquiddd]

As someone who doesn't watch arcane, what is your blogs Background about? It's Viktor, right? (I read a bit about it on wiki and I got slammed with TikTok edits, but I don't know much)

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Dira, thanks for reaching out! You're correct, my blog's background picture is from the Neflix show Arcane. The characters in it are Viktor as you said, and Jayce Talis. The image is from the last episode of Season 2. I edited it and I added some of my favorite characters to the picture. Lemme name them cuz this question makes me so happy <3 From left to right:

Aomine Daiki from Kuroko No Basket.

Freddie McClair from Skins.

Javier García from The Walking Dead Telltale videogames.

Komasan from Yo-kai Watch.

Piplup from Pokemon.

Douglas "Ca$h" Piggott from Heartbreak High.

Luka Couffaine from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.

Kuroo Tetsurou from Haikyuu!!

Viktor and Jayce are also my favorite characters in Arcane, so the banner pretty much sums up my fictional crushes lmao.

I 100% recommend the series to you if you still haven't watch it, it's a masterpiece in every aspect, music-wise, story-wise, the animation is stunning... And Jayce and Viktor got one of the most beautiful ending scenes I have ever seen. From November when S2 came out until pretty much the beginning of March I've been thinking about it non-stop. Thankfully the brainrot is gradually leaving me alone. This show changes you're perception about everything and leaves a mark in the heart. You won't regret watching it.

Thank you so much for asking about it, you're super sweet 💜 I hope you have the best of days!
