A/N: I'm not sure if I wrote this correctly but I had to read the wiki for the personality, so I hope I got it right 😪 also thank you, anon! I appreciate and take care of yourself too!! 🤭🫶💖🤧

Aventurine had always prided himself on his ability to read people, but you? You were a mystery wrapped in rose-colored laughter and mischief, and he couldn’t help but be drawn to it.

One evening, as the city lights painted your silhouettes with a glow, Aventurine watched you twirl in the warm night air, a contented smile on your face. “You know, every time I look at you, I can’t help but wonder what you’re hiding.” he murmured, amused but curious.

You laughed, your voice like chimes in the quiet. “Now, why would I hide anything from you, Mr. Big Shot Investor?” you teased, leaning into his shoulder with a playful grin. “Unless, of course, you’re willing to wager a bit more of your time to find out?”

He smirked, placing his hand on your waist, leading you into a gentle sway. “With you, everything’s a gamble,” he said, “but for once, I don’t mind risking it all.” You laughed softly, eyes sparkling with a hidden depth, drawing him in like the cards he played so expertly.

As you leaned closer, whispering sweet nothings and absurd promises, Aventurine found himself unable to focus on anything but you. You were a mystery he would never fully unravel, yet it was in your lighthearted laughter and gentle teasing that he found something he’d never bet on—a sense of peace.

“Stay with me tonight?” he asked, a rare softness crossing his face. You gazed up at him, smiling as if you already knew the answer long before he’d asked. "Only if you promise we’ll make it interesting.” you replied, leaving a trail of laughter as you pulled him into the unknown.

Sunday was used to people who followed his vision, who sought comfort in his promises of a painless dream, but you… you were a delightful anomaly, never quite fitting into any category he’d known.

“You look so serious, Sunday,” you cooed, nudging him playfully. “Why all the gloomy thoughts when you’re with me?” Your smile was radiant, as if the world’s sorrow never even grazed your spirit, and he found himself taken aback.

“Not everyone views the world with such… resilience,” he replied, his tone softer than usual. “Most seek peace, an escape from suffering.”

You chuckled, twirling a strand of his hair as if you’d known him forever. “Ah, but what is life without a little excitement? You don’t think your ‘Sweetdream Paradise’ would get boring after a while?” You raised an eyebrow, your tone teasing, yet sincere.

Sunday’s gaze softened, his golden eyes reflecting an unspoken conflict. “Perhaps. But there’s a kindness in sparing people from pain, is there not?”

You tilted your head, pressing a gentle hand to his cheek. “Kindness, yes, but people need a spark too. Just think, Sunday—if we never knew pain, how could we ever appreciate happiness?” You flashed a cheeky smile and continued, “Even you, my noble dreamer, wouldn’t want to miss out on a bit of thrill, right?”

He chuckled, an uncommon sound for him, but one that felt entirely natural in your presence. “Perhaps there’s merit in your way of thinking,” he admitted, his hand resting atop yours. He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your knuckles. “But tonight, I’d like to learn from your world, where joy mingles with challenge. Show me how you see it.”

You beamed up at him, slipping your arm through his. “It’s a date, then! Let’s make this world unforgettable together.” With you, even Sunday’s unwavering dream began to flicker with shades of something new, something alive.

Hiiiiii similar to the first person who requested for HI3 can I also have some romantic Otto Apocalypse crumbs pls my Liege 🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️

I also want this man so down horrendously it's unbelievable he doesn't get much × Reader if we decide to look at the things he's done and then the Kevin Kaslana × Reader tags and what THEY'VE done (both man were pathetic loser boys wanting their hot GF back to life and committing multiple crimes yet Kevin gets away bc he has Kaslana privilege‼️‼️)

Otto Apocalypse x reader

thanks for the request, i hope you like it <3

Otto Apocalypse was many things—an immortal, a schemer, and, most notably, a man with the patience of a saint. But even the saintliest of men have their breaking point. And that breaking point, it seemed, was you.

"Why do you look so annoyed, Otto?" You leaned over the balcony, gazing out at the sun-kissed gardens below. A teasing smile played on your lips as you twirled a daisy in your fingers. "You're usually so composed. Did something go wrong with your latest 'genius' plan?"

Otto, ever elegant in his refined attire, stood beside you, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I wouldn’t call it annoyance," he replied, a strained smile appearing on his lips. "Just… recalibrating my expectations."

"Recalibrating?" You let out a soft chuckle, your eyes sparkling with mischief. "That’s just your way of saying I ruined your plans again, isn’t it?"

Otto's smile twitched. You had ruined his plans, though 'ruined' might be too strong a word. More like... creatively altered. He had spent centuries orchestrating complex schemes, manipulating time, and people, for his mysterious goals. Yet, ever since you’d come into his life, it seemed that things hadn’t quite gone according to plan. In fact, most of his plans now revolved around you, though he’d never admit it out loud.

"You could’ve at least warned me before single-handedly stopping that Honkai outbreak," he muttered, watching as you casually spun the daisy, completely unbothered by the events of earlier that day. "You’ve made it rather difficult to maintain a certain level of… mystique."

You raised an eyebrow at him. "Mystique? Otto, you’re like a walking historical museum. I think your ‘mystique’ ran out about 500 years ago."

"Is that so?" Otto said, leaning in slightly, his golden eyes locking with yours. There was a dangerous gleam there, one you recognized well. It was the look of a man who was just a little too used to getting his way, and who found it endlessly amusing when you didn’t bend to his whims.

But instead of backing down, you grinned wider. "Yep. All gone. You’re like an open book now. Super predictable."

"Predictable?" Otto echoed, raising an eyebrow. His voice took on a smooth, teasing lilt. "Then you wouldn’t mind if I did this?" And with one swift motion, he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on your forehead.

Your breath hitched—just a tiny bit—and you felt your cheeks heat up. But you weren’t about to let Otto have the last word. Oh no.

Feigning nonchalance, you shrugged. "See? Totally predictable. I knew you were going to do that."

Otto let out a soft chuckle, his golden eyes twinkling with amusement. "Is that so? Then tell me," he said, his voice dropping to a near-whisper as he tilted your chin up with a single finger, "what am I going to do next?"

Your heart skipped a beat, but you kept your cool. Mostly.

"Probably something overly dramatic, knowing you," you teased, but the words felt a little breathless as they left your lips. You stared into his eyes, the weight of centuries behind them, and for a moment, you could see the layers of his mind shifting, calculating, as if trying to decide his next move.

But then, the tension broke as Otto straightened, letting out a genuine laugh. "Dramatic? Me? I believe you’re mistaking me for someone else."

"Oh, please." You crossed your arms, leaning back against the balcony rail. "You’re literally the definition of dramatic. Don’t think I haven’t noticed how you always make an entrance with some cryptic line about destiny."

"That’s part of my charm," Otto quipped smoothly, brushing an imaginary speck of dust from his pristine coat. "You should appreciate it more."

"Yeah, yeah," you sighed, though you couldn’t help but smile. "Well, I guess I don’t mind too much. Someone’s gotta keep you from turning into a complete drama queen."

Otto chuckled again, his voice softening. "And that’s why I enjoy having you around. You’re not afraid to challenge me. In fact, you make things… interesting."

"Interesting?" You raised an eyebrow. "Is that your way of saying I’m unpredictable?"

"Perhaps," Otto admitted, his eyes softening as he regarded you. "In all my centuries, I’ve never met anyone quite like you."

You blinked, surprised by the sincerity in his tone. Otto wasn’t exactly known for being sentimental, but there was something different about this moment. Something... vulnerable.

"Well," you said, your voice suddenly quieter, "I guess that makes two of us."

For a moment, the world seemed to slow, the laughter and teasing fading into something softer, more intimate. You both stood there, the gentle breeze rustling the leaves in the garden below, and for once, neither of you had a witty comeback. It was just… you and Otto.

But, of course, Otto couldn’t resist breaking the silence.

"So," he said, a sly smile curling his lips, "about that Honkai outbreak you conveniently stopped without informing me…"

You rolled your eyes, but you couldn’t help but laugh. "Seriously, Otto? We’re back to that?"

Otto grinned, clearly enjoying himself. "It’s a matter of principle. I can’t let you have all the glory, now can I?"

"Fine, fine," you said, throwing your hands up in mock surrender. "Next time, I’ll let you handle it. Just don’t come crying to me when things get out of hand."

"Deal," Otto said, his voice warm with affection. He stepped closer again, his hand brushing against yours. "But in the meantime… perhaps we could enjoy a quiet evening together? Without any world-saving interruptions?"

You looked up at him, surprised by the gentle tone in his voice. "Are you asking me out, Otto Apocalypse?"

"Is that so shocking?" he teased, though his golden eyes were soft. "I’m capable of being a romantic, you know."

"Really?" You grinned, stepping closer to him. "Prove it."

Otto’s smile widened, and without another word, he took your hand in his, guiding you away from the balcony and toward the garden, where the sun was setting in a golden glow. And for once, in all his centuries of scheming, plotting, and manipulating, Otto Apocalypse allowed himself to simply be in the moment—with you.

And maybe, just maybe, you realized that behind all the drama and theatrics, there was something genuine between you and Otto. Something that, against all odds, made you both smile.

kaslana privilege is so real. i'm also super elysia brained when it comes to hi3 so i didn’t have much of an opinion on kevin 🧍‍♂️ and i'm ngl i only like otto because of his jp va

I wanted to look at the boothill tag and somehow came across voidhill which has very much piqued my interest 👁👁

Can I pleaaaaaaaaase have an explanation bc this voidhill thing now has me on a chokehold 🙏🙏

Yayyy I’m glad you’re interested in them!!! They mean a lot to me… I’m happy to answer any and all questions

So if this means you don’t know who VA is (apologies if I’m assuming), I’ll say they’re a HI3 character with HSR cameos who’s most likely around there somewhere. I treat them as my OC by this point though so that’s not really all that relevant. They’re a supercomputer in a human body, their purpose is archiving humanity’s knowledge. As an archive, they remember everything they’ve learnt in perfect detail, which aid their powers that allow them to recreate things they’ve learnt the composition of.

To put it shortly: I made it up as a crack ship but I ended up making an entire story for them. Cyborg who surpassed his body’s human limits, Supercomputer who keeps trying to make their human body surpass its human limits. They both have their particular relationships with their humanity, or lack of.

To put it unfiltered, here’s how I put it last month. Some little things I’d change now, but this is a good idea of it still:

(Transcript of the first paragraph is in ALT text. It won’t let me add the others)

It’s kind of about them both conditioning each other to change. Void Archives becomes more interested in relationships and intimacy, more willing to participate in them; Boothill realises he’s really into this freak apparently.

My friend wrote the dialogue for this comic a few months ago that describes how they experience their attraction for each other basically:

I need to reformat this into a vertical comic real bad

Boothill is the first cyborg’ed human they get to meet so personally so they’re particularly interested in him. Their possessiveness doesn’t come from a place of “we’re in a relationship, so you’re mine”—they’re not really in a relationship, it’s complicated—but “I know more than anyone, I remember every nook and cranny, so I am objectively the best qualified one to handle modifying/repairing your body”. Here’s a little doodle I haven’t posted here yet of them doing exactly that

They’re very focused on the task at hand!

This is a basic rundown of their dynamic, I won’t delve too much into their story unless you’re interested in hearing that too. I really appreciate you asking. I usually express myself through my drawings and comics without saying much else about them, so thank you for giving me the chance to ramble a bit about them :)

(Intro post)

“Hello everyone, I am Albedo. I’m attempting to use this platform to engage with people from all across the universe, though I’m not too used to it.”

~~~~~

Info

Essentially, this is a (non-canon) alternate Albedo who exists in Star Rail, kinda like all the HSR copies of HI3 characters.

In this AU, he follows the path of Erudition and is Imaginary type. He lives alone somewhere in the Jarilo-VI snow plains (I’d have made him part of the Intelligentsia Guild but I’m not good with HSR lore). He’s pretending to be human but is…well, not quite a human.

For those who don’t play Genshin/don’t know Albedo’s personality, he’s a nice person and quite chill but sometimes a little bit morally grey. He’s pretty intelligent in general and good at taking care of kids. He’s kinda bad at socialising though. He also likes painting and sketching :)

Mod notice

You can call me Wolfe, she/they pronouns please. This is honestly something I made out of boredom but I’ll check in fairly often :)

As previously mentioned, I’m not too familiar with HSR lore even though I play the game, so apologies for mistakes. This is also my first RP blog so yeah.

On another note, this blog is not affiliated with miHoYo and please don’t involve me in any of the drama.

My main blog is @st4rrl1ghtwastaken if you wanna chill there

Rules

Anons, OCs and canon characters (both from Genshin and HSR) are welcome. Ask first for ships and characters from other fandoms.

Please try to interact only with muse, not mod, unless stated otherwise.

No NSFW, suggestive/flirting is fine.

I hc Albedo as autistic + panromantic + asexual. Ableists and queerphobes DNI.

Apart from that, I will block anyone who makes me feel uncomfortable.

[aria0fgold]

Getting dragged into Mahoyaku 3-4 days ago and being pulled by 2 characters that are supposedly mortal enemies while I procrastinate the main story of it is an experience, and quite frankly a good way of deflecting the horrors.

I don't mind not so detailed spoilers but like WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE STORY GETS DARKER??!?!???!? I'm seeing red flags, death flags, FULL ON AGONY FLAGS, and like gurl, I got here 4 days ago, I'm vibing, losing my mind with one of the insane pairs of the game wdym the story gets worse, I'm at chapter 10 of main story 1.

MS1 has 21 chapters, MS2 is ongoing and it's also speeding through a landslide of angst WHY

I'm going through the tags of mahoyaku and sprinkled in between the funny memes and pretty drawings and translated stories are the horrors leaking out and like GURL I DONT THINK ILL BE PREPARED?!?!???!?

Pls im part of 2 other games with agonizingly painful stories (2nd is a maybe cuz its still early on but the SIGNS are there), i have ptsd from honkai impact 3rd's angst filled story and im keeping close watch of honkai star rail cuz i aint about to see someone die a 2nd time and the death flags are rising for a different character in it and MAHOYAKU IS SPEEDING THROUGH AN ANGST FILLED STORY TOO AM I CURSED WHY AM I PLAYING GAMES WITH THE MOST HEARTWRENCHINGLY PAINFUL ANGST

Me, a person too sensitive and way too weak for angst and yet here I am... obssessing over a game with angst. OH BOOOOIIII I'm preparing my heart, im preparing my heart, im going to procrastinate the main story the same way im doing with hi3 i aint ready yet for the angst train yall.

LIKE! i get attached easily! And right now I'm attached with everyone in mahoyaku! (esp cain and owen, mostly cain and owen) I. Am. Not. Ready. to see them hurt! Pls theres like character stories and event stories including cain and owens past and i saw bits and pieces of it and its like, mmm, painful. im reading that when im better prepared.

[phoenix-is-the-hottest-thing]

oh nono i wholeheartedly agree with you actually, like i said honkai story can be overglorified and the overglorification of literature can have horrible impact to its reader and others who feel like the story can be too heavy. it can also bait others if you dont have proper understanding of the lore, you can end up getting into it and well, feel empty. Honkai has triggering theme, you can love it but you can also set aside the themes that are too heavy and overglorified, like you have to admit the start of honkai is very messy and confusing, this can lead a lot of people astray so i defo wont recommend others to read honkai if they cant handle the topic or dont have enough time to read the full lore, cause without getting its theme and getting to the end you can take it as a very heavy story. its very context dependant and heavy on its triggering theme to amplify the end. which is why i sent the ask to you anonymously, it was more to me screaming to the void on my personal take and i never expected it to be replied, and it was also twisted to be seen in the perspective of elly headspace and eden romantical art philosophy, a deepdive to what they think about their story and end. they are very very mentally stable for people who lived in the end of the world and has personal struggle, they look at the world through rose colored lenses, partially as a way of acceptance. so i would never ever recommend people to read this take if they are in a bad headspace, or cant handle heavy and triggering topics. elysia eden rose colored view of their heavy story can be triggering to many and it also cant be overglorified too much, you dont have to honor someone else take on literature you like if its too heavy, you should always stop, your headspace and mental health is the utmost priority. personally I've been through many things which i wouldn't elaborate on since it can be TW heavy, but ive found people who loved, understood and accepted me, ive healed through them and im eternally grateful to them, which is why i could look at its theme and accept it as it is. i am very privileged in this way since not a lot can find this opportunity, fuhua character writting is especially moving to me because of this.

really sorry for the misunderstanding, sincerely much love from anon <333

hey hey anon— first you’re absolutely right about their rose colored glasses over the situation— but most importantly, I assure you the way I replied was healthy for me. You don’t have to worry or teach me about what I should or shouldn’t drop, I’m not a child and I’m decent at managing these topic in regards to what they do to me, the way I ended up answering you was the way that worked with my mental health.

I also answer all my good faith asks, if I haven’t replied to yours yet they’re in drafts (or didn’t get sent but I wouldn’t be aware of that). I’m okay! If I’d forced myself to engage in the way you intended I would’ve been hurt, so I didn’t do that, that’s all.

I think it’s important to acknowledge that different people have different needs when it comes to stories. I do love heavy topics, I don’t shy away from tragedy, zero problem with all the messed up stuff in this game’s lore, I just have this specific little broken thing in my brain that makes it so I can’t appreciate certain approaches, even if they’re in character.

Every human you’ll ever meet has been through some degree of bull and probably has a few little broken bits too, that’s just how life is.

That said I would not call Eden mentally stable?? She’s a chronic alcoholic who probably has ptsd and she was suicidal from months to years before her death. Like that is not what mentally stable is. Her circumstances are understandable but the way she acted was absolutely not “stable”.

Elysia is debatable, she’s got a pretty good handle on herself but she’s also prone to putting up a happy front to mask her grief and not expressing her negative emotions. This isn’t healthy at all, for all that she remains positive, acknowledgment of negative emotions is vital to remaining a healthy individual, you’ll run yourself ragged forcing happiness all the time. In ch31 when she tells Eden Dr.MEI is probably right and she’s most likely a Herrscher, she chokes up and almost cries before forcing it down with determination and her happy front. Like. That’s not healthy behavior. I need to wrap her in a blanket and let her cry her heart out

Basically I hate the message of “don’t be sad that we part” because it IS sad. Not acknowledging this means you’ll just repress your sadness and that’s just not healthy. It’s okay to be sad. It’s healthy to be sad. Sadness exists to help your brain process loss and grief. Unexpressed, they simply fester and cause you pain… so this is a PSA to let yourself feel sad and cry, you’ll feel better afterwards.

about me tag game thing

i was tagged by the wonderful @nothingunrealistic! thank you very much ily <3

under read more bc i was not capable of keeping my answers brief this time around

why did you choose your url?

this...was supposed to be a short explanation but it turned into quite a tale so strap in i guess because we are going on a ride. back in 2017 i was just getting into musical theatre rp and i was still feeling too shy to really talk to anyone ooc so i would just wait for people i wanted to interact with to post starter calls so i could just do things in character with them the easy way. So i did this with my friend cam, who posted a starter for me using a lyric from If I Could Tell Her. she linked the song so i could listen to it, so i did and i went ‘wait a minute, is that Ben Platt from Pitch Perfect?? (and other things too, but i only recognized his voice at the time bc of the acappella girl movies)’ and yes it certainly was.

i had zero idea what the plot of Dear Evan Hansen was about at that point, and for some reason based off Just That One Song and the poster art of who i assumed was Some Guy in a Polo Shirt i started to think it was about some jock guy who broke his arm and had an emo/goth friend who had either died or gone missing under mysterious circumstances. also i intuited that Evan had a crush on his friend’s sister but he couldn’t tell her that directly or his emo friend would kick his ass. so i was like mostly wrong, but a little bit right.

oh and i knew jared and alana were characters from the show bc cam said that they were i think?? but i had no idea what their role was. so after listening to if i could tell her, i listened to good for you and all i really got out of that was that evan the apparently not-jock guy had done...something... that really hurt jared and alana. and at that point i finally decided to go look up a plot synopsis and i found out i was waaay off base. but honestly this is why cast recordings should include scene dialogue in the songs bc otherwise you just get soundtracks like dear evan hansen where the songs have like. zero context. we really just go from waving through a window to for forever to sincerely me without like. any reason as to what is happening huh. It’s honestly not a surprise anymore that all those people on twitter had no idea the plot isn’t about gay teenagers.

anyways. cam was writing jared and she made a post at one point about wishing somebody would write alana and i was like ‘oh i could do that!’ (after i had actually Seen a bootleg and finally knew what the whole story was, of course) so i made a multimuse rp blog featuring alana beck, nabulungi hatimbi, chloe valentine and some other characters, and cam started sharing her headcanons with me that alana is trans, jared and alana were close friends when they were little kids but they sort of drifted apart as they got older and their priorities in life changed, jared was the first person alana came out to when she realized she’s trans, etc.

one night i started talking about wanting to pick a more theatre-relevant url for my blog and trans-[character name] urls were getting pretty popular, and at least 3 of the friends i made through rp had changed theirs to coordinating trans-[character name] and i think it was cam suggested i should make mine be trans-alana so i did. eventually i realized the unhyphenated version was available so i changed it to transalana with no hyphen and i have lived here ever since. sometimes i think about changing it but i feel like transalana has become a part of My Brand and i am not so great with coming up with cool names for things.

any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them

in theory, i have sideblogs... i don’t really use them, but of the ones i do have, there is:

emsbookblog - this was supposed to be where i would post excerpts of the book that i’m working on, but i think i did that maybe one time roughly 2 years ago and then promptly forgot about it/got nervous about my writing and was scared to share anything else. the rest of the stuff that is there is assorted writing tips. i don’t really know what to do with it now. i probably should post all my little thoughts about em and anita and caleb there instead of infodumping on my main from time to time, but if i do that then i have to promo a sideblog and direct people over to it which is always annoying to me when i could just do it on this blog which is much easier

dearnovelhansen - this is basically no longer used, but was a sideblog i made specifically to talk/complain about the novel adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen which was about 3 years ago?? maybe? i can’t be trusted to understand the passage of time. but to summarize: i thought it was an honor just to have the story be made more accessible since many of us couldn’t see the stage performance, but i hated a lot of the creative liberties that were taken. my main grumbles are that everyone who isn’t evan or connor is done so dirty in the novel. connor’s still kind of done dirty in the book, but not as much as like. heidi, alana, jared, and zoe are.

horseisle3 - this one was meant to be a place where i could just enthusiastically post screenshots from hi3, but instead it turned into a blog where i occasionally reblog other players’ hi3 content and bitch about how bad the game admins are bc hi3 is the tumblr famous (infamous?) homophobic horse game. the game where it was once okay to call your club store the gulag bc according to their head of hr, ‘it’s just a russian word for prison’ but you can’t say ‘im gay’ without somebody accusing you of corrupting young children who play the game. unfortunately there aren’t very many good interactive horse games out there, so this one is still about as good as it gets. it’s either that or star stable and i don’t care about star stable.

mlaenie - i’ve had this url saved for i don’t even know how long. way way way back in the day when i wanted to escape from the clutches of the onceler fandom i abandoned my first blog where i basically had an alter ego i guess?? and i decided to just be myself on the new blog. i don’t fully remember who came up with it, but one of my sister’s mutuals suggested that if you scrambled the letters in your name you could come up with aesthetic-looking urls. so lauren’s url became lrauen, and to match with her mine became mlaenie, which i abandoned on tumblr after about a year or so? but have continued to use as my main username on twitter, reddit, youtube, xbox, steam, and discord. i barely ever use any of these accounts aside from twitter, steam, and xbox, but yeah. so i’ve decided to try and turn this empty sideblog into a place for video game thoughts maybe. we’ll see how long it lasts this time around.

how long have you been on tumblr?

i made my first tumblr account in december of 2010, but i didn’t understand how to use it at all or how to customize my theme to look cool and unique so i quickly abandoned it. i made a new account in september of 2011 after some kids at school and my sister told me i should and i have been trapped here with varying degrees of activity/inactivity ever since. i have witnessed the rise and fall of the lorax/onceler fandom, hyperfocused on lord of the rings, star wars and back to the future all at the same time, and for the past 4 years i’ve mostly been a musical theatre blog with assorted other fandom stuff mixed in. i feel i have seen everything and nothing, but mostly i’m just tired and bored.

do you have a queue tag?

no bc i don’t use a queue. i’ve tried using it in the past but i irrationally feel pressured to sustain a coherent theme to queued posts and my brain simply does not vibe with that so i just don’t use it at all anymore. Instead i instantly reblog or post several unrelated thoughts in succession and then don’t post again at all for 3 days. the way god intended

why did you start your blog in the first place?

my very first blog was intended to be a place for me to post all of my petz 5 animals’ profile info, but i didn’t have any understanding of how coding worked at all and i don’t think i really wanted to learn, either. so it just sat there, unused. my second attempt at blogging was as a classic rock fandom person, so as you can probably imagine i was pretty pretentious about ‘modern pop’ vs the beatles, the rolling stones, the who, the monkees, and so on. and then i slowly devolved into a lorax fandom blog and everything went to shit so i made a new blog for lord of the rings/the hobbit which later evolved to include star wars and back to the future blogging. and then for the past 4 years i’ve been mainly a musical theatre blog with other random stuff i like thrown haphazardly into the pot. wonderful.

why did you choose your icon/pfp?

because my url is transalana and two of my most prominent lgbt headcanons are that alana beck is trans and a lesbian. i gotta be shouting out @kinqmike though bc she’s the one i adopted the trans alana beck headcanon from in the first place!

why did you choose your header?

in 2017 i was hyperfixating on Dear Evan Hansen (and Be More Chill, but there weren’t many gif-able videos then considering it ran for a month in New Jersey in 2015 and there was only one yet-to-resurface 35 minute bootleg) so i just grabbed a random gif off of google. i really should get to replacing it with a new header of my own though. i just don’t know what i should do for it.

what’s your post with the most notes?

i have lost track of how many notes it has (i think it’s somewhere around 200 now?) but when Will Roland and George Salazar performed Two Player Game on Good Morning America, i posted a screencap of their Jeremy and Michael along with that one quiz answer meme that says stuff like ‘i want to see it grow up healthy’. i didn’t tag it with any ship names or anything because i was anxious about having it show up in the tags, but somebody who reblogged it from me did tag it as boyf riends and i firmly believe it took off because of that. i don’t think i make posts that are relevant enough to amass thousands of notes, even by accident. which is probably a good thing bc if i did i would have to block so many of them.

how many followers do you have?

on this blog? 175 according to the counter. how many of those are still real people and how many are bots and abandoned accounts? i have no idea.

how many people do you follow?

i try to keep it somewhere around 200. i think i’m sitting at 180 right now but i kind of need to go through and clear out the really inactive blogs.

have you made a shitpost?

let’s think about this for a second. i’ve been on tumblr for nearly 10 years. you might even be able to say i’ve made more than one. they’re just not what you would call...popular shitposts.

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ post?

that stuff makes me so incredibly anxious that i have to fight the urge to want to yeet my laptop or mobile device through the closest window whenever i read it, so i try very hard to avoid any sort of ‘if you don’t reblog this, i’m judging you’ posts. i find them very manipulative and not particularly helpful

do you like tag games?

yeah babey!! i just frequently forget to do them, but please know that if you have ever tagged me in a tag game i felt incredibly touched by the gesture and the @mention even if i completely forgot to do the thing afterward

do you like ask games?

i do! but also rip to literally anyone who has ever sent me an ask meme bc it takes me so long to answer them. i’m still working on a micro fic prompt from a few weeks ago. also, horrified to realized that it has in fact been a few weeks and not 3 days anymore.

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i don’t know that any are tumblr famous as a whole. but probably @neverheardnothing

do you have a crush on a mutual?

in any sort of romantic connotation? no. not that i’m aware of. there are mutuals that i have friend crushes on where i want to be friends with them but i get so anxious when it comes to meeting new people that usually nothing ever comes of it. i’m really not good at small talk or other casual conversation either which, as you may or may not be able to imagine, sucks. i just wanna skip over all of the awkward introductions and ‘hey how are you, how is life, what are you doing with yourself?’ stuff. not because i don’t care about it. i do, but i think most of my friends/the people i want to be my friends are also depressed and anxious so asking these basic questions about life tends to uh. make us all nervous. and i don’t do much with my life so i always have the most boring answers anyways.

i’m not tagging anyone officially bc the @ thing has just completely given up on me at this point, but if you want to do it, go for it. and then say i tagged you so i can read it c:

ok i have been informed new twitter people were showing up so here’s some honkai tumblr fandom stuff:

some people use #hi3 or #honkaiimpact3rd but most i see just use #honkai impact. pick one or two and tag those when you wanna be seen! i recommend you tag characters and ships as well!

tag your hate with something as well so people can block it out (ex: “elysia hate”, “kiamei hate”) and don’t censor words so people’s filters catch them. block the hate tags you don’t like too! if someone didn’t tag you can send a polite ask about it. or just block them lol

if you try to harass someone you are getting blocked. yes this includes sending anon asks while having any “good” reasons to harass someone that you can think of. bad vibes? you don’t like their ships? you don’t like their beliefs? block them. block me! not worth it, no one will intrude on your dash unless you want them to on tumblr (well, besides users paying for Blazed, though you can support the site’s independence and pay for ad removal to get rid of those), as you can turn off recommended posts. mind your own business and be a good neighbor

in the same vein, don’t spread weird rumors about people. there’s been a pissy anti going around who tries to get people to hate me in particular, my running theory is that it’s a crush they’re really angry about having at this point 😊 follows and likes are often private, if you wanna get to know someone you’re gonna have to actually talk to them, or see what they actually say. don’t believe random anons about strangers, and don’t be an ass even if you dislike the stranger. even if shinigami eyes caught a terf— just block them and move on, they’re not worth your energy. (note that nobody vets who they’re reblogging from 99% of the time, unlike twitter reblog chains don’t necessarily link back to the OP. the worst that weird anon could bring up was “in that reblog chain there was a bad person” that i’d never heard about. it’s pathetic. don’t do that. just block. out of sight out of mind)

if you don’t like an ask, or if they’re being rude or spreading rumors, you can just delete it

you can say ass here. and murder. and fuck. go wild. if you don’t like some of these you can filter them as well. (use filter content instead of filter tag).

you can froth at the mouth enthusiastically in the tags of a reblogged post to let the op know how much you’re enjoying their content (they will be delighted)

reblog art! reblog fic links! community needs direct action on here 🥰 fics in particular need love because they’re not eye-catching. you can repost links of fics you love as well!

you don’t have to be brief and you can post many more pics at once. unleash your inner essayist, i’m always down to read some fun rambles

personalize your blog a little bit to let others know you’re not a bot! else you might get blocked by accident

nudes have been made legal on tumblr again. porn has not. that includes drawn depictions of sex acts. you’ll probably have to host on another site and link it here with an ok preview with a community label for sexual themes (think privatter or poipiku). if you’re an adult you can change your settings to filter or not filter community labeled mature content at will, but bear in mind the default is that it will not be seen

if you see a porn bot report and block them, in that order

tag your spoilers something consistent, I use #honkai spoilers. spoilers is anything that hasn’t been published to global yet

hope you enjoy yourself!
