[forbidding-souda]

Mod Souda!~ I have never requested fic before, this is entirely new territory so please forgive me if I misstep. ^_^; Could I please request HC's regarding Korekiyo x autistic S/O? I tried finding similar in the master list, alas I could not which is completely on me if I wasn't thorough enough.

A little afterword of gratitude also for your masterful works on Korekiyo in particular, the way you HC him is beautiful. He is my ultimate comfort character and your content is poignant for me. I also wish you the absolute best on finals and in life in general! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)♡ I hope you are faring well. Thank you for all that you do here

Shinguuji Korekiyo with Autistic S/O

I've had this blog since quarantine so I can't even remember if I've written anything like this so I'm happy to write one for you regardless or not if it's a repeat.

Hai guys I don't have my edited sprites anymore bc I deleted them awhile ago so here's normal souda. Also if this is ass then my bad

hashtag actually autistic btw for anyone reading, i think it's right to share that when I write these ofc

okay mod souda behavior here where I say random stuff before each story but I'm watching impractical jokers rn and I don't know how some people watch this because the secondhand embarrassment is insane I literaly have to look away PLZZZ. This took an hour to write because half way through I started watching impractical joker clips on youtube (while the show is playing on the tv)

-Mod Souda

♥ He isn't a stickler about your interests. A good thing about being with him is that he won't make fun of you for anything you enjoy, no matter if he enjoys it himself or not. He'll never ask you to turn a movie off or to stop talking about something. He knows more than anybody else how isolating it can feel when somebody refuses to try and tolerate other people's passions; he would never put you down.

♥ He's naturally off-putting. If you experience people considering you off-putting then don't feel alone because Shinguuji is considered off-putting as well. He brushes off the negative things people thinks when it comes to himself, but when it comes to you and the negativity you face, it's hard for him to conceal how irritated he gets.

♥ I know some people have hyperfixations of like medieval torture methods so imagine how much he'd love that.

♥ ^ You also have the chance to teach him about really niche things, that's pretty sweet.

♥ ^ But I imagine that with some topics, he's gonna try and teach you about your own hyperfixation and it's gonna get annoying.

♥ He loves ur reactions to things. He gets so gushy-gushy and poetic. He likes finding what words make you smile, which ones make you laugh and which ones make you want to roll your eyes.

You stared back at him for a few seconds. He held an intense, filling gaze. The two of you were sitting on a park bench, facing the trees and enjoying the sounds of the birds. In between the conversation, there were moments of silence. Usually, he'd break them with small, unrelated sentences, but he's been quiet. "Korekiyo," you said quietly, a bit worried to startle him. To you, he was either in deep thought or, more humorously, sleeping with his eyes open. It took you to say it louder before he turned away. "My apologies," he smiled with a tilt of his head. His hair cascaded down his shoulder. His eyes went to the green leaves dancing in the wind. "We sit here in such a beautiful place, so lively. Most people would give their life away to view a sight like this." With no response, you just stared at him more, already knowing what he was going to say. He looked at you. "I've been all around the world and so I do not wish to waste my time looking at something I've seen before. You, however, do not come close to any of the beauties our world gives to us." "You love me so much, don't you?" You gave him a smile while his yellow eyes developed a look of interest: "You say that but do not realize that jests can be true words, too."

♥ If you need your alone time, he isn't going to stop you because he likes his, too. He knows that obviously you can be infatuated with somebody while also finding comfort in solitude.

♥ ^ And with that, he also has his own boundaries when it comes to where he goes whenever he wants solitude. He likes reading his books and analyzing his artifacts, all of which takes place in his study.

♥ ^ Yeah and don't touch his stuff because he is very protective of his collections. Therefore, he'd also never mess with something you own.

♥ If you're the type of person to have stuffed animals, and especially make them talk, he isn't going to pick up on that very quickly as means of a thing people still do. He'll give a history lesson as to 'ah yes, i've learned about this form of imagination within cultures of story telling, oral adventures'.

♥ Most of the time, he'll put your comfort over his.

♥ He'll stay up with you whenever you have trouble sleeping and are fully awake at 2am, no matter the cost. He is going to make sure that you know he is always there for you. He always has things to do.

♥ If you need help falling asleep, he'll do things like sing to you and let you watch videos in bed, whatever will make you most comfortable.

♥ He got some crazy eye contact btw I just want to put that out there.

Hi. So I’ve been enjoying your blog for a few days now and I just want to say ‘thank you’ for giving King Magnifico fans the safe space they deserve. Thank you for giving King Magnifico the safe space he deserves.

I tried to find other blogs that defend him the way you do but I couldn’t. I agree with you 100% on Magnifico and honestly think he was the only good part of the movie.

You’ve inspired me to create an OC of my own to ship with him. I’m remaining anonymous and don’t want to tell you about them because I don’t want to offend you, due to your faith. But I will dedicate the OC side blog to you once it’s open.

Without you, I would’ve felt like a silly 37 yr old caring so much about a Disney character. Especially while I’m going through a hard time. Now I will preserve my endangered mental health by spending time on developing my character and my Magnifico fan blog.

Please keep it up. You’ve given me a Magnifico safe space and have inspired others to celebrate their love of this character.

Oh my goodness!!! *emotional noises*

I'm so immensly moved I'm struggling to find the right words. Thank you doesn't even feel enough! I feel beyond happy and honored that I've managed to help, inspire, motivate and comfort people. That's what I want to do and if I manage to, it fills my heart with so much gratitude and joy!

But really, without you guys, I wouldn't be standing where I'm standing with my blog at this point.

I loved Magnifico from the moment I first saw him on screen and as soon as I understood enough of his story, it was more than clear to me, that I had to not only create a safe space for fans who - just like me - realized that he isn't a villain but also a place where I can fight against the very toxic stance against traumatized people and mental disorders.

And no! Never feel bad or silly for loving something because of your age! Age doesn't matter. I'm in my late 20s and one of my friends is already 30 so 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who's to tell us we cannot love certain things anymore just because we aren't kids/teenagers anymore? People who spread such information aren't better than all those other bullies and they're obviously wrong. You can be a 100 years old and still love plushies and dolls, or Legos, or disney - it's not just for kids!

Also, while I'm more than pleased to see that more and more people start siding with Magnifico and becoming vocal that he's not a villain but a traumatized protagonist, I'm also greatly concerned by people still shaming, ridiculing, belittling and villainizing trauma.

The fact that Disney itself has pushed those toxic stigmas is beyond me! Just like one of my greatest fellow defenders stated : When did bullying a traumatized person into uncontrollable rage become acceptable? When did it become acceptable to villainize traumatized people? Since when does the message "true love breaks every curse" matter no more?

When did people lose so much compassion and became ok with pushing hate and unforgiveness?

Standing up for trauma and defending those people is not justifying wrong actions! It's calling awareness! Compassion and love! It's explaining and drawing a big difference!

There are so many toxic statements I hear people make toward traumatized people and people with mental disorders. And I think it's one of the cruelest, most disgusting and heartless things!

Magnifico has become a symbol for so many and a beacon to rise awareness to trauma and the toxic stance of disney and some people out there.

Btw, Japan has even created a hashtag that celebrates Magnifico. The japanese have been stressing from the start that Magnifico isn't a villain. The japanese amazing! ✨️

So, I thank you for being a part of this incredible supportive, growing defender squad! I'll keep doing my best to fight for what's right and keep this blog growing ✨️

I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart! ❤️ And again, thank you so very much!

Isn't it disrespectful to LGBT people that a group who shows their support to LGBTQ and always said big things about equality, equal love...a member of that group performed in Qatar where LGBTQ is a sin?? Isn't it disrespectful to LGBT community? What's the point of their support then?? Does money matter that much to the world's superstars?? Or their support was just a drama? Especially if we consider that jk is the part of LGBT himself becz we think he's with jimin?? If jikook is true...then what support is he giving to the community as a world super star?? Or may be he's not queer, not a part of LGBT.. that is why he agreed to perform there at the first place. Or maybe he's greedy enough to make history for himself without giving any care for the community which they say they support?? You can't just say this and then perform in a country where LGBTQ is literally called a sin. That's double standards.

Or maybe the company is making our fool for years by throwing Jikooks interactions at us to make us think that they're a real couple and that.. the company and members support LGBT but in reality... thats not the case. I saw video and photos of jk with the staff in Qatar. Jkkrs thinks from years that he's shy in front of girls..but he clearly looks very comfortable with the female staff then the male staff there even if he met them for the first time. Or maybe that's the main reason he was chosen to perform there not other member becz he's not queer. I don't think it's fair to LGBTQ people.

Are you queer? Because I'm part of the community and I don't feel slighted. My opinions are my own and you are entitled to yours. Also JK putting his arm around women for photos is the exact same thing as he does for men and again, holds no barring on his sexuality at all. And he could like both genders or more too.

I've posted my thoughts about the ciritisms he has faced for performing in Qatar here too

And I posted about how ridiculous it is to assume he is straight because of this performance here too

And if you click on the hashtags or just search Qatar on my blog, you'll find even more. Hope you feel better after getting that rant off your chest.

Been here, covered that. Don't wanna do it again. Anyways, hope everyone who can is streaming Dreamers to support our Jungkookie!

[tea-with-evan-and-me]

"i can certainly understand why you would think the concept of tons of people knowing your amazon reviews would be embarrassing, but quite frankly, almost all of the topics we discuss here would make us uncomfortable if it was about us."

That is true. But i think there is a difference between discussing things within a circle of people that won't really leave the platform, like the anon discussions on your blog, and people sharing stuff on tiktok to go viral. We know that most things discussed here probably will never reach Evan unless he or his friends chooses to search his hashtag on Tumblr, which i doubt they do. It's different however when there is certain information circulating on every social media platform and private info boiling up to the surface. I think the likelihood of his sister, family friends or Haley seeing it is much bigger and idk... i would feel mortified. I feel like we are too comfortable seeing Evan as a celebrity and expecting him to endure privacy invasions because of that. He is a celebrity but he is a human first of all, who enjoys acting and sadly his profession comes along with being a public figure. However he isn't like most celebrities, he hates the public part of it and he values his privacy very much. He just wants to be a normal guy and is doing everything so he can continue living his life as a normal guy. I'd like to say again that I'm not blaming anybody for posting the information. He should have been more careful in the first place and not share his Spotify name with Frances, but sadly it's too late and he wasn't taking that into account. The thing that gives me the most discomfort is that this information is floating around uncontrollably and will likely find its way to Evan one way or another (if it hasnt already) and i just know it's going to give him the biggest freak out and my heart can't take it.

a couple of things:

1. i’m not really sure what you mean when you say you believe certain things stay within this platform. most people who have tumblr also have other social media, so it stands to reason that things will circulate from time to time. i genuinely wonder how evan or his friends and family would know about anyone discussing his spotify or his amazon profile, or really anything about him without searching for fan discussions. if i asked someone outside of fandom, who never visited any fan pages, about evan peters spotify profile they would be clueless. i think you're viewing this like evan and his social media burner accounts are somehow just outside of the circle of his fandom, and it would be easy for him to accidentally stumble onto this stuff; in reality, if he does not engage, that would be like saying because i have a twitter account i know what happens in pedro pascal's fandom. i have no fucking clue what anyone knows or doesn't know about him because i am not in any way affiliated. unless evan, his friends or his family purposely interact with fandom this information is not on anyone else's radar besides those of us who are super interested in evan peters. but if they seek it out, then it stands to reason that they will see things that are likely to make them uncomfortable. i'm sure it would not be pleasant for anyone near him to view the conversations we have about the domestic violence situation, but that doesn't mean i'm not going to broach that topic. if anything, i do wonder why are you not more bothered by that than evan's amazon reviews? not attacking you, i'm genuinely curious because to me, one is so much more sensitive than the other

2. evan's spotify being discovered precedes frances. i don't place any blame on evan for sharing it with anybody, it's reasonable to share your spotify with friends or family or your girlfriend.

3. i understand and find it respectable how much evan lives his life like a normal dude. however, he is not you or i. we live average, normal lives with jobs that do not make us of interest to the public. no matter how humble, evan’s career as an actor has made him a multi-millionaire and given him the many wonderful life perks that come with that. the downside is that you will not enjoy the privacy that a normie like myself gets. fans finding your amazon reviews might be embarrassing or weird, but i don’t think it should cause any deep emotional turmoil. especially because there is nothing literally tying it to evan, neither is his spotify account. he could easily deny it and just say this is a weird fan theory, because we have no literal proof it’s his.

finally, i totally get that your comments are just coming from a place of concern that evan would be made uncomfortable to see us discussing these things, i am not taking it as a condemnation or you trying to shame folks. and i am not in the business of policing anyone's feelings. if that's what you feel, it's valid. the premise of this blog is, by nature, intrusive. as respectful as we may aim to be, discussing a stranger's personal life is still an intrusion in most peoples' eyes. i am of the opinion that when you become a celebrity, interest in your personal life is a part of the fame package that you do not get to opt out of. there's always positives and negatives in anything you do. i hate getting up early, but my job requires that i am available in the morning most days. i have a fruitful career that affords me financial freedom and a lifestyle i enjoy; so i will get my butt up in the AM despite not enjoying that part, because i feel the good far outweighs the bad. i know there's plenty of aspects to evan's career he probably doesn't love, but the good outweighs the bad for him.

and ultimately.. this is a gossip blog. i have utmost respect for evan and a deep fondness for him as a person and an actor, but at the end of the day, i do not know him personally and i can't really say what he would or wouldn't feel. but i have a feeling he wouldn't love the premise of a gossip blog dedicated to him.

Ari Motel Shares the Role of Social Media in Hotel Visibility

In today’s digital age, social media has become a powerful tool for businesses across all industries, and the hospitality sector is no exception. Ari Motel, a charming two-story hotel conveniently located just off Interstate 20 with easy access to Dallas’s top attractions, understands the impact social media can have on a hotel's visibility. As travelers increasingly turn to platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to discover accommodations, social media presence has become more crucial than ever for hotels looking to attract new guests.

Why Social Media Matters for Hotels

With the rise of travel blogging, influencers, and online reviews, social media is often where potential guests first encounter a hotel. In fact, many people now rely on photos and videos from real travelers to decide where they’ll stay. This is why it’s vital for hotels, including Ari Motel, to maintain an active and engaging presence on social platforms.

Social media provides a way to showcase what makes Ari Motel unique. Whether it’s the convenience of being minutes away from downtown Dallas, or the cozy, family-friendly atmosphere that sets it apart from larger chain hotels, platforms like Instagram and Facebook offer an opportunity to share these highlights with a broader audience. By posting images of the clean, comfortable rooms, the lush courtyard, and the welcoming service, Ari Motel can create a positive impression on potential guests.

Connecting with Guests Before They Even Arrive

One of the greatest advantages of social media is that it allows hotels to interact with future guests before they even book a room. This is especially true for Ari Motel, which prides itself on customer service and offering a comfortable, home-away-from-home experience. Through platforms like Instagram and Facebook, potential guests can send inquiries, read reviews, and get a glimpse of what to expect during their stay.

Additionally, through engaging posts and stories, Ari Motel can keep followers updated on special offers, room availability, and nearby attractions. For example, posts showcasing the local dining options or highlighting fun activities in Dallas can be a great way to appeal to tourists and help them imagine their stay at the motel.

Leveraging User-Generated Content

One of the best forms of social proof for any business is user-generated content, and hotels are no exception. When guests share their experiences on social media by tagging Ari Motel or using a specific hashtag, it creates an authentic and trustworthy form of advertising. Positive photos and reviews from real guests can make a significant impact on those who are researching where to stay.

By encouraging guests to share their experiences, whether it’s a snapshot of the hotel’s amenities or a quick review of their stay, Ari Motel can amplify its online presence without the need for extensive paid advertising. Plus, these real-life stories often resonate more with potential guests than traditional marketing.

Engaging with Local Influencers

Finally, partnering with local influencers is a smart way to boost visibility. Influencers with a strong following in the Dallas area can help introduce Ari Motel to a wider audience by sharing their personal experiences. These influencers can highlight the hotel’s prime location near major attractions or talk about how it offers affordable, comfortable accommodations perfect for weekend getaways.

Conclusion

For Ari Motel, social media is more than just a marketing tool; it’s a way to connect with guests, build trust, and showcase the unique charm that the hotel offers. By staying active on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, Ari Motel can continue to boost its visibility, attract new guests, and maintain a competitive edge in the hospitality industry.

[Week 3] Digital Community: Tumblr Case Study

These days, the development of digital technology is becoming more and more explosive. They are widespread and popular everywhere, making anyone of any age want to become "more digital". 

With the rapid development of digital technology, a series of social networking platforms have appeared to help people connect, share, or serve various personal purposes such as Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, etc.. Among the social networking platforms that many people are interested in, Tumblr impresses with its differences.

What is Tumblr? What makes Tumblr unique?

"Tumblr is whatever you want it to be."

Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking platform founded in 2007 by David Karp. This is an interesting platform to develop an online community where users can create personal blogs or microblogs and post content in many different formats like posts, videos, images, GIFs, or even music without the length limit of the post. Through many years of development, Tumblr has had up to 519 million Tumblr Blogs by 2024 and hundreds of billions of posts on it.

Tumblr not only attracts users with its ability to support multimedia through posts, but it also attracts users with many unique features that not every platform has

Absolute privacy

Just using one email, users can create many different blog pages. Different from other platforms like Facebook, these block pages can be given any name depending on the user. It can be a name, nickname, or anonymous. Tumblr provides a high level of anonymity and allows users complete freedom to share without providing any information.

Moreover, when in "safe mode", Tumblr allows users to set up their accounts to only display valid accounts (not minors), allowing users to choose the content considered safe or sensitive content.

Interaction

Tumblr allows everyone to see public posts without having to log in. At the same time, Tumblr allows users to follow other accounts without requiring a mutual connection, promoting a non-reciprocal social network. In particular, online status is not provided to others. Therefore, this is a great feature for "stalkers" who want to search for anyone's information.

Users who log in to their accounts can like, follow, or repost content on their blogs. At the same time, users also can add or delete blogs they follow, as well as block others from accessing their blogs.

Hashtags space

Tumblr provides a large space dedicated to hashtags, facilitating the discovery of content with similar topics, and making it easier for users to search. At the same time, users' self-created hashtags can also make them have a unique impression.

Tumblr - a potential online brand community

According to Mousavi, Roper, and Keeling (2017), an online brand community (OBC) provides an opportunity for people to transform their identities through active participation in communities and the adoption of shared norms and values.

Tumblr fits perfectly with the concept of OBC. With incognito mode and no distinction between regular and verified accounts, all users on Tumblr are equal. They can share personal opinions and connect with people who share their ideals. Users can live true to themselves, comfortably and freely without fear of anyone's judgment. These features help users connect through common interests and personalities, and help them bond into a community. One of the typical examples is the strong growth of the LGBTQ+ community on Tumblr.

In conclusion, Tumblr is a unique social networking platform with special features, that help users interact, connect and post posts publicly or anonymously. The uniqueness of Tumblr has created an equal digital community where everyone can feel free to share and connect.

[gothreigen]

submitting to the mortifying ordeal of being known, like only partially though x

[female-malice]

Radblr constantly talks about how woman should raise boys right and teach them to respect women.

Radblr also talks constantly about how women should support and work with other women.

But I never see radblr talking about how women should uplift, encourage, and support girls 🤔

Girls are the most vulnerable group of people on earth, and also the most powerful force of social change.

Millenial girls grew up to embrace liberal choice feminism and spread it through pop culture. Where was radical feminism during 1995-2010 when millenial women were just girls? What were radical feminists doing when we were all playing with bratz dolls and watching totally spies? I’ll always have nostalgia about the 00s pop culture I grew up with. But, that culture was the breeding ground for the choice feminism self exploitation hell we live in now. Spice Girls, Cheetah Girls, Destiny’s Child, Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears were all marketed to millennial girls age 6-10. How is there any doubt about why millenial women are teaching gen-z girls to exploit themselves? It’s tempting to think of libfems as malicious narcissists or shallow idiots, but they aren’t. They were girls groomed for ‘sex positivity’ through 00s pop culture. They were girls radical feminists failed. 

Radical feminism is always defined and organized around the root of subjugation women face–sex and reproduction.

Why not organize radical feminism around the root of female future, power, and success–girls?

Feminism is called a women’s movement. Occasionally, it’s referred to as a movement for women and girls. I think prioritizing women over girls in our concept of feminism is one of the greatest mistakes feminists ever made.

Feminism should be a movement for girls, supported by women. 

If you are 20+, you are no longer, by any stretch of the imagination, a girl. I know girlhood is hell. I know it leaves us scarred and wounded. I know we feel the universe cheated us out of a girlhood brimming with carefree adventure and exploration. But it wasn’t the universe cheating us. It was adult women failing us. Adult women who were too focused on the damage their own girlhood did to them. This cycle of girlhood trauma has left women’s movements chasing their own tails for a century.

Patriarchy is passed through generations by men socializing boys and women socializing girls. If men are initiating boys into the fraternity of sexual subjugators, women are initiating girls into the sorority of victimhood. Radical feminism was built within that sorority, and it shows. 

All feminist writing I’ve read delineates women’s historical trauma and ties it to the subjugation of women in contemporary society. Through feminism, we find other women and discuss our shared past traumas with each other. In the internet age, we do this on a personal level through blogs and forums, or on a societal level through hashtags like #metoo and #yesallwomen. Feminist discourse builds up to a model of women’s universal suffering. And through that we identify males as the bastards behind it all. Radical feminism calls class recognition through shared trauma ‘consciousness raising’. They cite consciousness raising and solidarity between women as the greatest sources of female power. In other words, radical feminism elevates the sorority of victimhood as the key to female liberation. 

But the more I piece this out, the more it looks like a damn crab trap. The shared trauma, the model of women’s universal suffering, it only leads us to perpetuate our subjugation. There’s comfort in thinking what happened to you happened because you’re a woman. There’s comfort in seeing traumatic events as predestined. But predestination is the oldest crab trap in the book. Through predestination, we see victimhood as a right of passage and a key to wisdom. We overlook naive girls until they’ve been victimized enough to trauma bond with women. 

I’m not saying we should throw out radical feminism and start from scratch. Women coming to terms with trauma is a step towards female liberation, but it’s a step that will take a lifetime. That, unfortunately, is the nature of trauma and PTSD. There is no way to resolve past trauma. You can read all the feminist discourse ever written, and you may find some comfort in it, but the trauma will not heal. 

I know a lot of us take comfort in that catchphrase about women not being responsible for our own oppression. We need to start recognizing this as a thought terminating cliche and blackpill feminist idea. Saying we have no hand in our own oppression means women’s liberation depends entirely on men. This, of course, renders women’s liberation impossible.

If we’re looking for more than comfort, we’re going to need more than radical feminism is currently offering. If we’re looking for liberation, we must do the most uncomfortable thing possible. We must dismantle the victimhood sorority. We need to stop saying our trauma happened because we are women. We need to stop being complicit in patriarchy by holding up victimhood as a right of passage to womanhood.

Women do not have to suffer. Women do not have to be victimized. Girlhood does not have to be characterized by neglect. If we use all the power of women’s class solidarity to protect and celebrate girls, we will escape the cycle we are in. We need to stop prioritizing the lives of women over the lives of girls. We need to make girls’ liberation the primary goal of feminism, even if we have to sacrifice personal freedoms to do so. That is the true right of passage. Being an adult doesn’t mean perpetuating the past into the present. It means passing up on your needs in the present to secure a better future for the next generation. 

Your inner girl will never heal until you become the woman that should’ve been there protecting you as a girl. So, become that women, and do everything in your power to lift up girls. Do everything in your power to give them the carefree adventurous girlhood you were denied. Don’t do it because they’re your daughters or surrogate daughters. Do it because they’re the future, and they are more important than we are.

Two weeks.

It’s been two weeks since you joined Sean’s Among Us stream.

While that was your first public appearance, you had joined three others after that and already you were blowing up on almost every social media platform you had. The attention was kind of nice, you had to admit, but sometimes the anxiety of becoming a public figure weighed heavily on your shoulders.

During that time, you turned to your friends who were used to such scrutiny: Sean, Felix, and now Corpse, who you’ve been talking to every day for those two weeks.

It was another one of those nights where, at 1am, you were on Facetime with said man. His screen was dark, as usual. He hadn’t shown his face yet and you respected that. You didn’t need to see him to talk to him, or be his friend, or develop a slight crush on him. All of which you did.

The call was relatively silent on your end. Corpse was on Facetime with you, yes, but he was also on a call in Discord, once again playing Among Us.

You often wondered if playing that game was all your new friends did anymore.

You stayed quiet, letting Corpse play the game and avoiding his fans finding out about your call. You had college work to finish anyways, so the silence was rather helpful.

“We should ask Y/N if she wants to play. I wanna meet her.” Sykkuno’s voice rang out from the Discord call. He was right- you’d never met him. He and Corpse seemed extremely close, though, so you’d love to talk to him. A friend of your crush friend was a friend of yours.

“She’s busy tonight.” Corpse responded.

“Yeah, she’s got an exam coming up- wait, how do you know?” Sean joined in, questioning Corpse.

“Uh, I mean we’re on Facetime right now, I guess.” Your heart sped up- now his fans knew. “She’s studying. We’re just hanging out.”

“Didn’t you guys ‘hang out’ last night as well? It seems like you’re trying to take my best friend away from me.” Sean joked back.

“I mean, I definitely am.”

Your breath caught in your throat. What was that supposed to mean? Sean was obviously kidding, but the tone in Corpse’s voice wasn’t the one he used when he was joking as well.

Felix suddenly butted in. “Ooooh, I think Corpse-y has a little crush.”

“And if I do?”

Y/N.exe has stopped working.

꧁꧂

Three weeks, now, that you’ve been talking to Corpse daily.

One week since Corpse’s crush comment and one week that you’ve endured countless mentions and tags on Instagram and Twitter, constantly talking about #CorpseY/N.

You didn’t really mind the shipping, often losing yourself in daydreams about driving those two hours down from your apartment in Los Angeles down to San Diego and running into his arms. It didn’t help when he mentioned wanting you to come visit one day.

You just worried about how Corpse felt about them. He was still relatively new to blowing up on the internet as well, his fame suddenly skyrocketing in the past few months, so you weren’t sure if he was comfortable with them. You didn’t want to bring it up, either, fearing that the discussion would make things awkward between the two of you.

For now, you were rather content with just scrolling through the #CorpseY/N hashtag, looking at the pictures and nice things people had to say about you both.

“they’re so cute when they talk to each other, you can just tell Corpse meant it when he said he was trying to steal Y/N away.”

“#CorpseY/N is my new favorite thing. Everyone shut up this is all I’ll be talking about from now on.”

“God why can’t they just be together already? #CorpseY/N”

Everyone was so supportive and sweet, it almost made you feel like you already were Corpse’s girlfriend. Although your heart hurt when you were brought back to reality, you couldn’t help but love the comments that everyone left. They were amazing.

Until they weren’t.

There are always two sides of the same coin. Along from the supporters and their loving actions, there were also those who seethed at the idea of you and Corpse.

They scrutinized everything about you to the point that you made your Instagram account- already with 30k followers- private.

Haters talked about you. Your body, your personality, how you weren’t worthy to even talk to Corpse and the rest of the Youtubers, and so much more. You’ve spent many nights with your Facetime mic muted so that Corpse couldn’t hear the small sobs coming from you.

These thoughts were almost always on the back of your mind, but you were sometimes able to push them away.

Like now- as you focused on your exam. Well, tried to focus. There comes to be a time where one can only hear so many negative things about themselves before they can’t ignore it anymore.

But alas, you tried your hardest and finished your exam, before walking out of the room and pulling out your phone. Now, you had a break before your new classes started and you’ve never been more relieved. You pulled up a certain contact and clicked on the message icon, beginning to type.

you:

i’m finished! up next, a break.

corpse:

I hope you did well. How long is your break?

you:

two weeks!

corpse:

Come spend it in San Diego

You stopped in your tracks, taken aback by the offer. You really didn’t think that he’d invite you over, but you weren’t about to complain. Instead, you sent back an ‘I’ll pack tonight :)’ and rushed home to do just that.

Corpse called you as you packed, just like he calls every night. You were used to the routine now, often falling asleep around 3am as he stays on the phone, doing whatever he does with his ruined sleep schedule until you wake up and say good morning.

Tonight, however, you were too jittery to sleep. You stayed up all night with Corpse, talking about anything and everything, like usual.

What wasn’t usual, though, was how distracted he sounded. It made you nervous- was he having second thoughts about inviting you over? Was something wrong?

Your thoughts nearly overwhelmed you, forcing you to say something.

“Are you okay, Corpse?” You tried to hide the small shake in your voice.

“Hm? Uh, yeah, yeah, everything’s good. Why?”

“It doesn’t sound like it. What’s going on? You’re acting off.”

His side of the phone was silent for a moment, before he let out a sigh. “I’m just thinking about what I’ve got to do before you get here tomorrow. Like, cleaning and stuff.”

“Pshh, that doesn’t matter to me.” You waved your hand, even though he couldn’t see it in the darkness of your room.

“It’s just that, my apartment isn’t… the best. It’s small and there’s only one bedroom and it’s kind of shitty. I just don’t want it to be even more shitty.”

“Corpse, I’m coming there to spend time with you, not your apartment. I don’t care what any of that shit looks like. I’m going to be looking at you and hanging out with you. Not your apartment.” You didn’t mean to go on a tangent of reassurance, but you truly meant all of your words. “Hell, I might not even see the apartment because I already know I won’t be able to look away from you.”

“I- God, give me a minute. That took me off guard.” He laughed. “But thank you. I may not even be able to clean because I’ll be distracted too.”

“By what?”

“You, standing in front of me, in person.” You could hear the smile in his voice. “That’s a fucking dream come true.”

Hello I have a question but I was also thinking of starting a diablog but do you have any advice or tips on how to get started

hi angel, this is probably long time coming but i made some general things that really helped me so it isn't like just directed at you but something i think would help everyone!

Tips for starting a blog

Or a blog towards a central topic. The short answer is just to start posting content about them, compared to a lot of fandoms, I wouldn't say we are small but we aren’t that big. Content gets around, tag with as many things related to the diaboys as you would like for interactions, always reblog your stuff that also gets more interactions.

Why is reblogging so important? 

A lot of people underestimate the power of reblogging, Tumblr as far as I am aware has no fixed algorithm unlike a lot of social media, liking or following isn’t enough to get things out there reblogging is the best thing to spread your content across Tumblr. It’s also a great way to make mutuals by reblogging their stuff and customising your hashtags and whatnot.

Why are mutuals great?

Seems pretty obvious right? You're out here making friends who love the same things you do, so you have people to talk to, rant to, marvel over their ideas, and have them marvel over yours. But breaking it down it's a lot more useful than people realise. 

Humans are pretty sociable creatures especially when it comes to things they mutually agree on or even better mutually despise; you have picked to make a Diabolik lovers account which is perfect because any perspective you put on it will have people who agree with you due to the morally grey themes.  It’s just great to ping pong ideas with each other, or get consistent feedback. 

However, this isn’t compulsory, it is just something I quite like.

Put yourself first!

I say this a lot but it doesn’t matter what everyone’s posting, even if the ideas are similar to yours POST IT!! Everything within the fandom is superficial, it isn't real, you can put your twist on it, you can absolutely love someone else’s headcanon about it or completely disagree.  You should never feel obligated to change your creative outlet for anybody else.

Also, I only write about the diaboys, but this doesn’t mean I’m not involved in a bunch of other fandoms and forms of media from tv shows to books. You don’t have to always be diaboy centred if you don’t wish to. I encourage exploring many alternative media because often we forget just because we make content for something we aren’t obligated to, it’s something we do for enjoyment. Don’t centre all your energy on your blog, I know it’s hard. I do it a lot, but it’s not healthy. Sometimes it’s okay to sit back and just read content, sometimes  I feel like I’m falling back because I’m not churning out content as fast as everyone else is. Not true this is an old-ass anime, the only reason so many people are still here is probably because of fan-made content. Quality over quantity, enjoy what you make otherwise it will become a chore for you.

Aside from that I guess just enjoy it?

For OCs even though I haven’t publicised mine yet, I suggest starting with a mood board everyone thinks it’s a great way to get your oc out there.

Be nice! Remember it’s fiction but the people behind the blogs are real.

On this note turn off anon asks if you’re getting hate but i find that a lot more people are comfortable sending asks when anon is turned on.

Okay and stay safe internet safety and that.

Hello 👋 So I’m going to be posting my art online for the first time and was wondering if you have some general art advice or things I need to keep in mind. Also I’m not sure which platform I’m going to use. I feel like tumblr and IG are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to exposure. But I have looked into other platforms as well.

Hello!!! first of all i'm very happy for you and also proud that you will show your art to the world :)))

I'd say there's not a perfect platform for artists right now, at least not among the popular ones, so it really depends on what you're focusing on and the audience you want to reach, but ultimately choose the one you're more familiar and comfortable with!

Personally out of the three platforms i have, Tumblr is my favorite, not only it feels like a safer space (crazy i know), but i really like the way you can organize multiple pics in a post and customize your blog etc. Also you get asks, the notifications are classified on type so you can filter them well and it's nice! also if feedback is important for you you are most likely to find it here through reblogs or hashtags! another good thing is that your statistics are personal, so you won't feel stressed to reach certain numbers since nobody except you are going to see them. it may sound stupid but i think on the long run it's important!

Instagram kinda kills the quality of the pictures and sometimes i have problems with the apps and have to retry posting something multiple times, i don't know if it's an issue with Android but it's really bad ://// also i don't know how the algorithm works anymore, they change it all the time and idk if it's a good platform for new artists anymore, but i'd say give it a try. maybe just use it as an archive for all your art and link your ig account on other platforms. i know artists who are very active here or on twitter but run ig accounts too, even though they don't use them much!

Twitter is also a great option these days, there are a lot of artists who use twt only and i've been using a lot too in the past months! It's not an app made for artists but some recent changes (such as the size of posts) made it more accessible for art! Twitter also allows to filter stuff you don't wanna see, protect your tweets and your art if it contains some kind of sensitive content, which is something instagram hasn't done yet so keep that in mind too!

Now this is more of personal advice, but i think it's better to have a main platform and maybe use the others just to post art and go. This is very bold of me since i now use all three platforms the same amount to talk about different things and it makes me look like i'm going insane (which is probably true) and one of my resolutions is to stick with one of them and keep the others for art only instead of trying to fit into all them equally. i think it's very time consuming and stressing, especially bc in the end tumblr, instagram and twitter have different audiences so it can be very confusing :///

anyways!!!!!!!!! this answer is more of a personal breakdown of the platforms i use based on experience, there are others out there for sure so in the end it's your choice!!! my experience might be different from yours, just. don't stress too much about it (unless you are planning to make a profit from your art, in that case i'd say the more places you showcase your art the better!!!)

good luck <33333

ML Fic Recs - Adrienette

I’m back again with another rec list. I’m going to make this a weekly thing until I run out of recs! (I’ve got 8 more lists started in my drafts so, uh, it may be a while...) As before, I’m trying to rec fics that readers are less likely to have read, generally trying to keep to under 500 kudos on AO3. You can find my other rec lists on my blog under the hashtag #jennarecsml

If you enjoy these, please reblog so more readers can find these awesome fics!

In honour of Adrienette April, today we’ve got my favourite side of the love square!

Where the Heartache Began by @somethingvaguetodo

Marinette isn’t interested in Adrien Agreste. But its not that she isn’t interested in him either.

One-shot. Set just after Origins part 2, this is an amazing imagining of Marinette’s thoughts and behaviour in the short period after the Umbrella Scene, before Marinette realizes and admits her crush on Adrien. It’s spot-on in its characterization and humour and absolutely deserves a read!

at every table, i'll save you a seat by @ladynoirist

unbeknownst to them, adrien and plagg have the same plan for christmas morning: giving their kitten the best christmas he's ever had

PRPR. So freaking sweet it will give you a toothache and you’ll love every second of it. There’s a fic set before this one, but I read them out of order and found I didn’t feel like I’d missed anything.

The Look by @katiechat

In which Adrien kills Marinette with only one look.

One-shot. This is another one of those short but sweet fics. Katiechat absolutely nails the characterizations, especially Marinette’s babbling and backtracking, while showing the amazing romantic tension between them.

Confessions to a Statue by @kasienda

After Marinette bolts from his presence for the hundredth time, Adrien is scared that she doesn't like him. He thinks if he can just make her laugh, she might become more comfortable around him. He is about to instigate the best (worst) prank ever, but then accidentally overhears something that he wasn't meant to that makes him see his friend in a whole new light.

Contains spoilers for Season 3 - Puppeteer 2.

Multi-chapter. So, like many of you, I was traumatized by the statue scene is Puppeteer 2. I can handle a lot, but secondhand embarrassment?? Nope, cannot do it. Kasienda reimagines the scene with Marinette confessing without being humiliated and Adrien gets the insight he needs to be a better friend to her. Also has some really nice interaction between Adrien and Alya.

Follow Your Heart by @inkjackets

Marinette is so confused when Adrien starts using bad pick up lines with her and showering?? her?? with compliments?!?!??? she doesn't understand what is going on, but she's going to figure it out!!!

One-shot. Adrien flirts badly and Marinette is flustered and this is just absolutely adorable.

Venn Diagram by @bridgetinerabbit

Adrien and Marinette are adjusting to their new relationship. Against her better judgement, Marinette worries that she doesn't quite measure up to her super persona in Adrien's eyes. Adrien lays out, in no uncertain terms, why that's just not true.

One-shot. This is super sweet and absolutely hilarious and just amazing. Post-reveal but still very much Adrienette.

Your heart’s desire by plikki

An akuma forces people to look for their heart's desire. Out of Adrien and Marinette, only one is surprised that it leads them to each other. But the surprises don't end there.

One-shot. There’s an eventual reveal and some great ladynoir, but the way Adrien and Marinette are just drawn to each other, how it highlights how they both care about each other so much...beautiful.

The following fic is amazing and absolutely worth reading, but does have some sexual content, so minors beware.

The Pole Kit and Kaboodle by @chatonne-rousse

When Adrien tries to make getting undressed a bit more entertaining for Marinette, he ends up revealing more than just his underwear.

One-shot. Rated M. Established adrienette that features them being sexy and silly and hopelessly in love. I love this fic so damn much!!! Watch Adrien being comfortable being ridiculous with Marinette and do a ridiculous (hilarious) striptease for her. Bonus identity reveal that just makes everything even better.
