INTRODUCTION MASTERPOST!!!!!

(ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ɴᴏ ᴀᴜᴅɪᴏ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ, ɪᴛ ᴡᴀs sᴜᴘᴘᴏsᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴀ ɢɪꜰ ʙᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰɪʟᴇ ᴡᴀs ᴛᴏᴏ ʙɪɢ ᴏᴏᴘs)

This is an askblog for @lunozapp 's Indigo Park OCs! This post contains everything you need to know about this ask blog/AU and its characters! Context, boundaries, references etc. Asks are contextualised a little differently here, so check the blog description for the tl;dr on the context.

Check out issue 1 here!

CONTEXT:

This is DappleTilez24, also known as Tilez. He's a relatively small streamer in his universe's indigo park community, and is known for tirelessly completeing run after run, trying to beat his personal records (with.... varying sucess).

One day, he tries to speedrun a build of the game that he's never seen before...

...and stumbles across 2 MORE Rambleys than usual, much to the surprise - and confusion - of the Rambley we know and love!

Naturally, our hero Tilez is pretty damn confuddled... so he (mistakenly) asks his live chat for an explaination.

This is where YOU fantastic askers come in!

You act as Tilez's live chat. This means you don't even have to answer his queries, just say whatever you want to this interdimentional triplet of trash pandas, just like a REAL insufferable livechat would!

...within reason, of course (jokes aside, please read the boundaries)

[updated as of 04/07/24] CHARACTER REFERENCES: (in the animation i forgot twimbly's GT badges lol)

CHARACTER BOUNDARIES:

I want to make it entirely clear that i see the raccoon trio as brothers, especially with their very similar origins.

This is to say that I would not feel comfortable with any of them being shipped with eachother and I forbid the public sharing of that kind of content. If you see that kind of stuff around, please just mention this to the OP and block them if they refuse to respect it.

FURTHERMORE, please keep in mind that I ( @lunozapp ) am a MINOR. SO DON'T PUBLICLY POST NSFW/FETISH ART OF MY CHARACTERS, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

However, shipping Twimbly, Ranglore, Rambley and Tilez with other characters that aren't related to them is fine by me (e.g. any of the original indigo characters x any of them, since they're not related)!

Again, please just keep it sfw.

ASK BOUNDARIES:

Pretty basic criteria, really. Just please don't spam the same ask over and over, I will guaranteed see them all unless this thing gets an explosion of attention out of nowhere lol

if i don't answer, its probably because either the question doesn't really fit the kind of story i have in mind for these characters or i just don't feel comfortable answering it. please respect that.

If you have a question for me specifically, start your ask with '[OOC]' (Out Of Character) or just ask me directly: @lunozapp

FURTHER INFO:

Asks are moreso used here as a prompt for conversation rather than the basis of an entire issue. More often than not there will be more than 1 ask in an issue, so going forward I'll make sure to tag everyone who asks without annonymity.

Also, please TRY to keep them as actual questions and not goofy 1-word sentences, the asks help me actually formulate a coherent premise for an issue

I don't OWN the concept of making ocs based off lore.mp4 and the GT thumbnail. if u see someone doing the same, try not to be all like 'OMG TWIMBLY/RANGLORE!!!! THEY ALREADY EXIST THIS IS PLAGARISM YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!!11!!11' unless it is blatant plagarism. Just use ur common sense ig

In terms of fanart/other fanworks, A MILLION THANKS IF YOU FEEL CALLED TO MAKE THAT!! The stuff i've gotten so far is genuinely so awesome, make it all you want if you feel called to do so. I'll try to reblog any fanart I find on here. If you want to go straight to asks, just click on the tag '#train trio asks'

alright, that's everything. Now what are you still doing here? Throw 'em a question! Or a compliment!! Or an insult.

or don't idrc just have fun here haha

fun fact!! putting everything together for this took a WEEK

Chat Clip That

Shawn Michaels/Scott Hall

Warnings: levels of himbo that are off the charts, very brief mention of homophobia

A/N: the main inspiration for Shawn’s hijinks are from Jerma, from the bone thing (meat grinder bit) to the son thing to the general chaos of the chat. There are far too many character that show up to tag, so if you think you know who the chatters are, feel free to point it out! I haven’t enjoyed writing this much in a long time, and I’d love to write some more for this! (Fun fact: the original name for Shawn’s fans were the clique, so I included that in here.)

Shawn screeched as his chair fell back, taking him with it. Well, him and the unused monitor beside him that just so happened to get caught in his foot. The monitor landed directly on his head with a bonk worthy of Looney Tunes, and Shawn let out an exaggerated groan of pain. He put up one finger and pointed in the general direction of his webcam. “Chat…” he moaned, “clip that right now.”

His Twitch chat did as it was told, spamming both the clips and a picture of Shawn recreating the soyjak meme.

BigSexy94: ur an idiot

HitmanHart: You belong in bottom jail.

Motorheadfan: *soyjak*

Shawn slowly made his way to his feet, pulling his chair up with him and sitting back down. “Fuck,” he said, “that hurt.” He squinted at the messages left by his chat. “Alright, y’all clipped it, thank you.” He squinted closer. “What the fuck is a ‘bottom jail’? HitmanHart, I think you belong in bottom jail.”

#1Queerbaiter: @HeartBreakKid HOLY SHIT ITS THE CRYPTID

Shawn highlighted the chat message then turned around. His husband, Scott, was in the doorway, his brows furrowed in confusion and his head tilted. Shawn could see the question on his face, and he mouthed “I’m fine” and gave a thumbs up where the camera couldn’t see. Scott quickly corrected his head and stepped into the room.

Shawn turned around. “Chat I don’t see anything.”

Scott stifled a laugh and grabbed the water bottle that Shawn had been drinking out of. Shawn went to grab it, only to be met with air.

123-Lightning: yo this is insane

Dboysmith: this dude isn’t funny

MachoSavage: hbk is the cream of the crop! Oh yeah!

Scott took off his shirt in an attempt to make Shawn break the character spent so long building up, and when that didn’t work, he took off his pants. He leaned towards Shawn, making the younger man look to the other side of the room. Scott picked up a piece of Shawn’s hair and began to fiddle with it, making him blush.

123-Lightning: I want to floss my teeth with The Cryptids chest hair

Shawn highlighted the chat message and his eyes almost bugged out of his skull. He read it out loud, partly for the rest of the stream and partly for Scott, who had to turn his head away to keep from laughing.

“This…” Shawn gestured with his hands to the wrong side of the room, “…cryptid, has chest hair? At least someone’s giving me a description! Is this a collective hallucination or something?”

DrThugonomics: nah bro it’s real

professional_edger: he’s tall with dark hair @ HeartBreakKid

Shawn read the messages out loud, making sure to deliberately look everywhere except where Scott was. He always enjoyed trying to convince his viewers that Scott wasn’t real, and this was no exception.

Shawn finally looked over, directly at Scott, who looked down at him. “Chat, I don’t see anything.”

Iloveunionbusting: I used to work with that guy! I can’t remember his name now.

BigSexy94: no u didn’t shut up

Shawn turned back just as a message lit up his screen. “Oh, Motorheadfan, thanks for the 500 bits! Let’s see…” Shawn mumbled as he leaned in to read the message that came with. “‘HBK, my son loves your streams. Can you give him a shoutout?’ Uh, yeah man!” Shawn leaned back in his chair as Scott stopped playing with his hair and decided to sit in a chair that Shawn had put up for him before he started streaming. “Motorheadfan’s son, what’s up! Make sure to eat your veggies so you can become big and strong like me!” Shawn flexed his biceps for emphasis, and Scott couldn’t help the smile that tugged on his lips. “Now how about we play some more Call of Duty, guys?”

Motorheadfan: my son is 30

Shawn guffawed at the message. “He’s 30?!”

Shawn muted his mic as he and Scott laughed, the latter doing so out of the camera view. “Oh my god!” Scott managed to squeak out. “He couldn’t have said that earlier?”

“I look like a dumbass!” Shawn said, hunched over with tears in his eyes from laughing so hard. “Okay, okay,” he wheezed, waving his hands animatedly in front of his face and unmuting his mic, “I am so sorry.”

UncleHello: 30 is diabolical

Thee-TylerBlack: dad how could you

Herecmsthmny: @ Motorheadfan NOT YOUR SON IN THE CHAT WITH US

Shawn pursed his lips, deciding to ignore the family argument in his chat and instead loading a game of Black Ops 3. “Alright chat, should I do campaign, zombies, or multiplayer?” He paused for a minute, letting everyone give their opinion before deciding. “Everyone is saying campaign, and I’m a man of the people, so multiplayer it is!”

HitmanHart: dictator

sunny_dayz: post hole pls

Motorheadfan: @ sunny_dayz ur so right

Thee-TylerBlack: @ Motorheadfan ewwwwww

BigSexy94: @ HeartBreakKid $50 if u take ur shirt off

Shawn glanced absentmindedly at his second screen before glancing back and throwing a grenade at the opposing team’s spawn, then dramatically turned his head back. “Post hole? What the fuck does that mean?” Scott once again turned his head to laugh as Shawn mumbled “post hole?” under his breath. “Oh! Fifty bucks if I take my shirt off? Don’t mind if I do!”

Shawn stood up, toying with the hem of his shirt and giving a sultry look to the camera.

HitmanHart: I need him carnally.

kingofhearts: stop gooning @ HitmanHart

ChickKick!: why he kinda…

Iloveunionbusting: Oh no, is he one of those queers?

Litaranna: @ Iloveunionbusting he’s literally bi dumbfuck

Shawn fully took off his shirt, making sure to flex for the camera (and Scott, who was leaned back in his chair and enjoying the stripping).

BigPoppaPump: I think The Cryptid likes the show

Shawn looked back at the screen. “Aw fuck, I died? That’s bullshit!” He scrolled up through the messages. “Litaranna is right, I’m bisexual. Been that way since I saw The Mummy. We don’t tolerate homophobia here, folks.”

BigSexy94 sent a $50 donation

Bigsexy94: god I love gay people I wish they were real

“Thanks for the money, BigSexy94, ‘preciate it!” Shawn said, a radiant smile on his face as he loaded another game.

Thinblueline: Question because you seem generally unintelligent, @ HeartBreakKid If you were to replace one piece of wood on a ship with another one every year, by the time you replace all of the pieces, would it be the same ship?

Shawn read the message then fully exited the game. “Alright buddy,” he started, making Scott give him a look that said ‘there’s no way in fuck you know what this is’, “I’ll have you know I graduated from high school and attended college, as in I was physically there for a year before I dropped out and became a stripper because I was too smart, so I know all about your riddles.”

It took all of Scott’s willpower not to laugh as Shawn prepared to answer the paradox, a look of 100% seriousness etched across his normally goofy face.

“See, if I were to, like, rip one of your bones out and replace it with someone else’s, it’s still you but with someone else’s bone, right? Well, if you kept doing that gradually, then it’s still, y’know, you, right? And I can see your chats now, like ‘well it’s still your brain’ but even if you ripped that out and replaced it, it’s still your skin and muscles, and that remembers shit. So I think it’s still the same ship, yeah.” Shawn crossed his arms, confident that he’d shown up the random member of his chat.

Alas, he did not.

Dirtysub35: omg is he gonna rip my bones out

Doggystyle: WHAT THE FUCK

123-Lightning: the poor Cryptid :(

9thWonder: UNHINGED STREAMER WANTS TO RIP OUR BONES OUT AND REPLACE THEM

Homelanderfan: is that what he’s doing to the Cryptid?

Billiondollarprincess: someone needs to arrest him!

6(1)9: don’t touch my brain cabron

BulldogBrit: I’d fuck spongbob lowkey

Shawn put his arms out in a ‘what’ motion while staring into the camera. “Why are you guys so scared? I’m completely incapable of violence!” Scott bit his lip to keep from laughing. “And why do you want to fuck Spongebob? What did he do?”

Scott got out of his chair and started to leave the room before remembering the bit that they’d planned. He grabbed Shawn by his ankles and turned him upside down, suspending him in midair as he gently shook him.

“I think Larry is the most fuckable character in the show,” Shawn continued, completely serious in order to keep character and pretending not to notice Scott holding him upside down. Several coins that Shawn had placed there earlier in preparation for the bit started to fall out.

Motorheadfan: *soyjak*

ILoveWelfareFraud: look at my lawyer dawggg I’m goin to jail

Goldustin: I agree but that doesn’t mean that ur not gonna steal my rib cage

HitmanHart: And just when I think I’ve hit rock bottom, I want to fuck a blond guy.

kingofhearts: @ HitmanHart SIMP

Several loud clangs were heard as more pennies fell out of Shawn’s pockets. “I can’t explain it, I just think he’d take care of me.” Shawn tapped Scott’s leg, and Scott lowered him down so he could put his arms on the ground, then dropped him. Shawn quickly scrambled back up to his chair as Scott walked away. “Chat, should I play Minecraft? I think I’m gonna kill everything in it though, that sounds more fun than being normal.”

Stylin&Profilin: slaves

Goldustin: build a nonbinary flag when ur done HBK

9thWonder: Don’t hurt the dogs!

Jeff_the_enigma: are we just going to ignore the fact that HBK not only said he’d rip our bones and brains out but also was shook upside down like a fuckin cartoon character

Shawn read the messages. “For you 9thWonder, I’ll tame all of the dogs so they can help me. No slaves, I’ll just kill them when I’m done trading. And the flag? Genius. The enbies love me and I love them right back. And for the record Jeff, I wasn’t shook upside down by the Cryptid, I just tend to do that from time to time. No biggie.”

Shawn loaded a new world and began to chop down trees. “I’m going to make the tools first, then find a village, then…” Shawn grinned evilly, “…then, we start killing.”

fightsteenfight: psychopath

LaPrimera: este hombre debería estar en prisión

bitw-punk: let’s get freaky!! kill some people!!

SlaygentD: @ bitw-punk I hate you so much. Words cannot describe how much I hate you. We should fuck about it.

Shawn continued to play the game, occasionally giving commentary and swearing whenever he died (which was a lot). “Chat, that was bullshit! I didn’t even look at the enderman! I have to go back and get my stuff! I can’t even-” Shawn cut himself off as a jockey started to attack him. “Ah! Why is it in full diamond armor? I hate this game!”

Jamaicanmecrazy07: not to be a nerd but that’s one of the rarest things that can happen in the game @ HeartBreakKid

Shawn read the message. “I don’t care if it’s the rarest thing in the game, I don’t want it to be anywhere near me!”

MinnGovOfficial: How the hell does the rarest thing in the game happen to this buffoon? Also fuck you @ Iloveunionbusting

ErraticHater: @ HeartBreakKid you said you were a stripper? What happened? I NEED the lore!!!

Shawn read the message out loud. “Yeah, when I turned nineteen I needed a job, and the strip club was hiring for a cook at first, so I applied, and the dude who was doing the interview thought I was hot, so I was hired as a stripper. I had to learn how to use the pole though!” Shawn laughed at the memory as he traded some iron for emeralds in Minecraft. “I worked there for almost ten years, which is kinda crazy considering how much I fucking hated it. I met my ex-boyfriend there, and things…” Shawn took a deep breath, a rare frown etching its way into his face. “…things didn’t go well with him. He was fired, but I realized I needed something else, so I started streaming, and now this is my full-time job thanks to you guys!” Shawn smiled again, running over to kill a pig.

420RVD420: lowkey the Cryptid looks like he could be a stripper

Goldustin: @ 420RVD420 LITERALLY I WOULD PAY SO MUCH MONEY

Shawn smiled as he read the chats. They were close; Scott was a bouncer at the club (even though the owner had asked him to dance numerous times) and also hated his job, so when Shawn started to earn money streaming, he asked Scott if he wanted to move in with him and quit his job. Scott agreed, and the rest is history.

But his viewers, his ‘clique’, they didn’t have to know. It was good to have secrets.

Shawn placed some obsidian blocks and used the flint and steel, and the nether portal filled with purple swirls. “Alright, we need to get some netherite chat, what should my game plan be?”

Cinnamon_Roll_Sami: trade with the piglins!

Mox: kill the piglins

“How about I not touch the piglins and just get to a bastion?” Shawn asked. “That makes more sense.”

Pollydangerously subscribed for a year!

BigSexy94: build a stripper pole in your room and do a stream where you show us your moves

Shawn snorted at Kevin’s message. “That would be a disaster. It's perfect!”

Shawn fell right into the lava after being hit by a hoglin. “If I die one more time I’m ending the stream,” he said, right before a lightning strike hit him and killed him instantly. Shawn sighed and logged off of the game. “Fucking goddamnit.”

Shawn leaned back and faced his camera. “Well, I guess I have to end the stream.” Shawn smiled. “Thank you for watching the stream, thank you for being part of the clique, and peace out,” Shawn said, throwing up a peace sign before closing out of the stream.

[iz-rarepair-tournament]

Rarepair Nominations are Now Open!

Alright everyone, it is time! I realize I'm posting this at what is likely an inopportune time, as it's the middle of the week and my posts aren't even showing up in tags yet, but that's okay! I just wanna go ahead and make this form available. I will leave this open until Sunday (May 5th) so get your choices in there.

Invader Zim Rarepair Nominations

Rules:

Do not nominate ZaDR (Zim/Dib), ZaGR (Zim/Gaz), ZaTR (Zim/Tak), ZaSR (Zim/Skoodge), DaTR (Dib/Tak), TaGR (Tak/Gaz), or RaPR (Red/Purple). These are all big ships in the fandom, whether we take into account past or present shipping trends, and so they are the ones I am disqualifying. Everything else, I will take.

What is considered a "rarepair" is totally at your discretion! It could be two characters who literally only showed up once, or it could be two major characters who nonetheless don't have near as many fanworks as one of the big ships I listed above. I will not be policing what ships are nominated. If it's not one of the above, I'll take it!

Only nominate pairings (two characters), no OT3s or more, please! Perhaps if this goes well we can do a special OT3 bracket later on.

When writing in a pairing, please actually write their names, for example Zim/Keef instead of just ZaKR. This is so I can know for sure exactly which pairing is getting nominated. If you just say ZaZR, I have no way of knowing if you mean Zim/Zim or Zim/Zita, as a random example. So just use the names, please.

You have to nominate at least one pairing, but you can send in up to five different pairs! One pairing per line.

Do not spam the form! I won't be requiring logins because I want people to have their anonymity, so I am requesting that you be reasonable, please. Only fill it out once, and if you happen to have more pairs you want to send, then I can't stop anyone from sending in a new form with those different pairings. But please don't use it as a way to duplicate ones you've already sent in. I intend to seed the bracket so I want the numbers to be accurate to what's actually being nominated.

No ships are off limits! If it's two Invader Zim characters who have appeared at some point in the show, movie, or comics, you can send it in! I understand this may mean some unpleasant or disturbing ships could be nominated and become part of the bracket. It comes with the territory. But Invader Zim is a dark show and the fandom has always embraced more twisted, grotesque themes. I will embrace it as well. So please do not send me requests that (insert badwrong pairing) be disqualified. If the presence of problematic ships in this bracket will bother you, please do not take part in the tournament.

You're more than welcome to start a good clean wholesome rarepair tournament of your own if you like :)

But yes, I think that's it! Go ahead and send in your nominations, and please share this far and wide. We can get wild but ultimately I want us to have fun here.

ROCKERSCENTRAL MASTERPOST🎸

(A rockers-related Rhythm Heaven ask blog!)

Info can be found under the line break.

___________________

The Basics: (or the General Info)

This blog serves to be a more creative way for me to share all of the ideas that I had planned out for the Rockers, along with some other guys, mainly following a story-esque format that follows their "backstory" and how they had originally met up to become the well known rock duo they are now!

Following up on the text above, just to clarify and put it straight, the blog will not start out with the both of them right away, and will likely follow the perspective of one or the other.

While there will be art for a bunch of the asks, especially for standard posts that are needed to progress the story, I cannot guarantee that there will be something drawn for each ask, though I do wish to try and do so. That applies to whether it's a colored sketch, actual drawing, a simple doodle, etc.

Some characters may have different names than some that may be commonly used as a fan-name from the fandom, the main case of this going to Student (name being Jamie.)

This whole blog's going to be a headcanon fest, considering how a majority of this is me making shit up for the most part, so please keep that in mind if you see different portrayals for one thing or another.

Additional Notes:

If you are running another character-based blog, it is completely alright to interact with this account! Just keep in mind that this is technically taking place in the past, which means that any asks that are sent that mention anything that could be in regards to any present matters /foreshadows anything about the Rockers will likely be ignored.

While it may not be prevalent for the long run start of this blog, I do ship the Rockers together, and would probably come up at some point very later on when the time comes, so be weary of that if you don't like the ship and such.

This blog is only being run by me, myself and I ( @submaskudari ), so things might be a bit slow depending on the situation.

I will also answer asks that are out of character for those who wish to know anything from me specifically ^_^

Unless there is only one character that's available for asks, please specify who you are sending an ask towards, otherwise it may be pushed back out of confusion.

___________________

Blog Rules:

Don't be a weirdo in the asks LOL

NO METAGAMING.. I have no idea how that'd play out anyways, but this still applies :sob:

Try not to spam the ask box, or be repetitive with asks.. I'm just one guy, and sometimes it might take a moment to spot it.

Transphobia, Homophobia, Racism, Proship, and all of the other bad shit is not welcome here, so please see yourself out if you fall under said criteria.

Please be kind!! I am just a little guy, again.

___________________

Tags:

# (insert character name) + ask: Asks that are directed to said character #main art reblog: main blog posts that either feature Rockers/ Blog-related content. #refs: Simply the refs I work off of for the characters I draw here. # (insert tumblr user here): Asks sent by said user/blog. #asks: Ask posts in general. #ooc ask: Asks that are related to the blog, but are directed to the blog owner (me) rather than an ic ask for the characters. #masterpost: what do you think LOL #sillyart: probably gonna be labled under shitposts or verrry bad doodles, just goofing around! #rockerscentral: tag for chrono-order posts, asks or non asks

This will be updated time from time as the blog progresses, rather it'd be for rule additions or something else. If anything, I'm probably going to add a blog Q&A for any additional questions that anyone may have, so feel free to ask!

[exterminator-of-bots]

to all blank blogs

Hey there! Chances are if you’re a new tumblr user or a lurker who doesn’t post, your blog will be blank with absolutely no posts, no bio and maybe the default tumblr icon as your profile picture.

However, I’d like to share some tips because tumblr currently has a rampant spam / porn bot problem which is only getting worse.

Most of the time, at least 20 something of this bots are made every day. They post inappropriate / spammy links to dodgy websites with malware in completely unrelated tags such as #asexual, clogging up other users’ dashboards and causing more trouble for others.

Many of these bots, when they start out, are blank.

Which is why, if you are a blank blog, you may find yourself getting removed from other people’s follow lists, blocked and even reported! That’s terrible right? But why do they do this? The answer is because they think that you’re one of these annoying bots.

So, I’d like to share some tips in distinguishing yourself from these bots and making your blog seem more like a real person behind the screen.

Firstly, what’s a blank blog look like?

Most blank blogs look like this.

take this profile as an example. It has 0 posts, a default tumblr avatar and no bio or banner. However, it’s likes and following are exposed and they are all follows or likes on pornographic spam bot accounts, which makes me think that this is yet another new bot in the spam bot army.

Profiles like this are likely to get your tumblr taken down and reported. Many people purge their follow lists of these bots, so if you’re following any other people, they might block you.

So, to prevent this from happening, here are the tips.

ONE. Change your avatars, please! Even a simple silly cat photo or anime character, or a random piece of paper with a face works. Like the default avatar? There are actually picrews out there to alter your avatar! They’re really cute, you can give the circles and squares moustaches, monocles, hats and bows. Usually these little things help to distinguish a bot account from a human account. Also, why not change your banner while you’re at it?

HOWEVER! Be warned that you should not use a picture of yourself or a human girl / boy as most of the time, porn bots use these pictures. Others may think you’re another one of them, block and move on.

TWO. Add your description. Even a simple [ name | interests | age (optional, but some people don’t like ageless blogs) ]. This will help others to see that you’re a real person. Another thing is that you may end up getting blocked by others, especially if you’re a minor, but it’s alright, do not worry and don’t take it personally.

These people who block you most likely post 18+ content and are wary and don’t want to expose their content to minors.

THREE. Posts. Some people may still think you’re a bot, so if you don’t really want to customise your blog, at least leave a simple post saying that you’re not a bot on your profile and pin it. Even a simple “hey! I’m a real person, I just lurk / don’t post” or “im not a bot, just don’t like posting” is fine. But if you really are new and want to become part of tumblr culture, the thing to do is reblog.

Why? Because reblogs are mainly how tumblr users support others. Instead of a like / comment, which is only viewed by others, a reblog can help to spread someone’s post and help them to get more popular, for instance an underrated artist who doesn’t get much attention. If you’re shy you can also comment in the tags, which are the little hashtags at the bottom of a post. You can put something like #omg this is so cute! or #love this in the tags, or you can simply reblog without tagging, either way is fine.

the point is, people can tell you’re real if you’re actively reblogging others’ posts. You don’t even need to reblog every day, just one or two on posts you like / posts that catch your eye.

Some blogs reblog others’ things and post web hooks to their malware scam sites in it. However, it’s nothing much to worry about, people will not think you’re a bot as these bots tend to reblog things by other bots. Reblogging things by other human users is completely fine.

In conclusion, I hope this helps! To all new blank blogs and old, thanks for reading :]

Since I'm sure there will be a lot of new people from Twitter, I want to personally say welcome, but also please don't make the shipping wars any worse. Lol

You can do that by tagging correctly, blocking people you don't like, and muting tags that upset you. Tags are like folders. When people tag correctly, it's like opening a book with only the things you like on an endless school. Very handy.

Are you making a post about your favorite ship? Excellent! Tag it correctly. Do not tag a bunch of irrelevant tags as that's considered spamming. Your tags should look like:

#shipname #charactera #characterb #whatever else you want that is actually related to the post

By the way, this isn't twitter. Tags can have spaces in them. You can write a whole ass paragraph almost. It's enouraged to do so!

Also, this isn't TikTok. "Unalive" and other censored words for the "algorithm" are dumb and pointless. There is no algorithm. Use the right words so that people can filter what they don't want to see.

Are you writing a negative post about a ship you don't like? Well that's a waste of time but you do you, just tag it correctly. Your tag should like like:

#anti-ship #dont mention the ship in any other way! It could pop up in their tags when those shippers are trying to do their own thing

Don't cross post KNOWING your post can upset someone. Don't play coy. Don't play dumb. Don't start drama on purpose. If you're bored and want some action, why not get a real hobby instead of fighting on the internet?

If a tag is meant for a platonic ship, then you should find the proper romantic ship version of that name. If another character or pairing has nothing to do with your post, then keep it in your pants and don't tag them. It's rude and could earn you some blocks.

That is the proper tagging etiquette for tumblr.com. You can mute any tag you want by visiting your settings and adding a tag to filtered tags and/or filtered content.

Anon hate is a thing of the past. Grow up. You can send anonymous or faced questions to almost any blog you want. You can also turn off that feature entirely if you don't like it.

If you don't like someone, you can select the three dots on top of their posts and block them. You can save yourself a headache if you learn to curate your experience~

Here in Tumblr, there is no reliable algorithm. More than likely, Tumblr won't be showing everyone posts that are relevant to them automatically. You'll have to visit the tags yourself to see what you want to see.

If YOU LOVE SOMETHING, REBLOG IT. Likes work like bookmarks here on tumblr.com. Everyone appreciates likes on their posts, but sadly, that's all it is. A post can die in the sea of irrelevance if no one reblogs it.

You know all those cool popular posts you see with thousands of notes? They only got like that because thousands of people reblogged it.

Do your artist friends, writer friends, and normal friends a favor by reblogging their posts and spreading the good word~. If you consistently reblog good posts on a consistent basis, you'll likely find yourself some cool followers as well who have the same interests as you.

By the way, while you can be a little well known here in Tumblr, you'll never have any clout. Give up now before you even begin. Everyone is an equal here. We're all just fans being fans of whatever content we're consuming that day alright? There are famous people on here, but unless they're chill and breezy, people will tend to chase them away anyway.

Do you want separate your personal blog from your fan blog? Well no need to make a new account, you can just add a sideblog and it's practically the same thing. You only have to log in once. I have at least a dozen active side blogs for every new interest I get very invested in. Great for organization and keeping your main blog for your personal rambles and posts.

By the way, there's no need to tell everyone your name, your phone number, your address etc. This site is anonymous. Enjoy the anonymity! Let yourself be a faceless fan among other faceless fans, keep your personal details safe and private.

And finally, don't be a creepy weirdo. That's pretty self explanatory. If your are a creepy weirdo, stop while you're ahead. You know you're gonna get caught and ousted. You aren't slick, you're just a weirdo.

That is all. This is meant for the Stranger Things fandom but it can be applied to any fandom. Hope this helps.

@yallemagne Saw your tags and wanted to say that interpretations that incorporate the sexualities are totally fine! Thanks for being so interested in the game and thank you for asking, I appreciate it- Personally, when writing for Vince his queerness was apart of his character but just wasn't a defining aspect of his arc. I don't mind people shipping them or writing about them being romantic or exploring that at all, I think it's a cool thing that blooms from fandom and exploring those character dynamics are what I find most engaging making the games in the first place. Don't feel anxious to post your thoughts on our games, even in the off-chance its not something I would agree with it's still enlightening to hear peoples interpretations of the stories I work on.

The thing with queerbaiting I wanted to address [spoilers ahead] was specifically people feeling cheated out of an ending where they get together.

I've seen people say that they were expecting a possible ending where Rody and Vince become romantic partners and that it felt like the story was pushing in that direction with the implication that they were queerbaited. I think it's alright to feel upset by an ending of a story and a lot of the criticism towards Dead Plate has been things I think I should take into account with future projects- but to expect an ending where two queer characters ultimately get together purely because the story explores ideas of queerness with the characters doesn't mean you were queerbaited when you didn't get that ending.

Because any ending where Rody and Vince got together wouldn't be indicative of the story we were trying to write. If Rody and Vince were to be romantic with eachother by the end it would undo all of the build up and kind of erase the entire point of their dynamic- Rody's entire issue was that he only knew how to live for others while Vince's issue was that he only knew how to live for himself. Their dynamic allowed each of them to see things from the other perspective, giving Rody the chance to change and grow by living for himself and ultimately punishing Vince due to his inability to change despite wanting to.

But yes- To answer your concern, it's fine to explore different interpretations of the game. I don't want people to be scared off from expressing their feelings on a story because they're worried its not what the authors were going for- Stories arent some secret problem to be solved, theyre an ongoing discussion with the media and the audience. Even with what I've written here I still think if people disagree it's a net positive for them to explore that opinion. And also a discussion on Rodys internalized biphobia contributing to how he treats Vince and Manon sounds sick as hell

edit: I wrote this in like january and realized it was still in my drafts, sorry about that. Currently cleaning out all my asks/drafts so apologies if I start spamming for a bit

Since you confirmed Rody and Vince as both queer, I was wondering: did you write them with the idea of them being queer in your head, or was this an afterthought bc of the fan’s reactions?

Their sexualities were already a part of the characters back in February 2023 long before the game was developed and released. For example Rody being bisexual was always there as a fact as shown in the screenshot below which is from my private discord server where I store character infos/drafts:

Their sexualities weren't brought up in the game because it wasn't relevant to the story + they are characters who just happens to be queer and regardless of their sexuality the events in the game would still happen/remain the same, one doesn't effect the other. Instead of heavily highlighting it we wanted to treat it as another piece of fun fact since their sexualities doesn't define their character/personality.

We will never change or add anything to our characters or narratives just because of fan's reactions or suggestions, we only tell stories we want to tell!

hold me like you understand

(in other words, you have a parent like mafuyu's mom )

characters: akito x gn!reader

tags: hurt/comfort, not proofread, vent post, ooc, established relationship, kissing, one curse word

a/n: hi sorry for the amount of vent posts i make, im just not living laughing loving a lot anymore so um yea sorry this is really ooc

- you let a dry laugh out at your mom's joke. you didn't quite understand it, but you think it was about grades?

- you forced the corners of your mouths to turn upwards. you mom finally stopped laughing at her joke.

- "ahh, [name] how are your studies going?"

- you fought the urge to roll your eyes. of course, the only thing you want to talk to me about is grades.

- "it's fine, mama! i have a quiz tomorrow."

- she let out a hum. "make sure you study for it. i do all the work for you just so you can peacefully study, you know?"

- you clenched your jaw. "mhm!"

- silence. you don't know if your mom felt it, but the tension in the air made you feel on edge.

- "you plan on going into the field you set your classes for, right?"

- "yea, why?"

- "nothing, nothing. i just don't want you making poor choices. i was just worried because you've been doing your little hobbies, can't have you running off to them."

- your hands started to shake and grip onto itself. why was she so.... so..

- you tested the waters of her “unconditional love”. “hypothetically, if i were.... to pursue them...?"

- a confused "huh?" came from your mom. "what do you mean?"

- "what if i wanted a different career...? what then-"

- your mother let out a scoff, procceding to laugh at you as if you said something funny. you don't think you said anything funny, so why...

- "absolutely not."

- "huh? i just said-"

- "and i'm saying no. your hobbies are just hobbies. nothing more. you will spend all your life struggling when you could just have gone the better route. i know what's best for you. you are taking this career."

- "mama, i just said it as a joke-"

- "good. it will stay as a joke."

- her words latched to your mind like pests.

- it will stay as a joke. it will stay as a joke. was your true personality a joke to her?

- were you a joke to her?

- "alright mama, i'm going to my room now."

- "alright. make sure you study on your quiz or exam. i don't want to see you doing anything else."

- you rushed up the stairs and into the bathroom closest to you. tears fell from your eyes as you tried to silence your cries.

- you were an idiot, such a dumb, hopeful, idiot. you knew. you knew your mother, of course she wouldn't ever accept that!

- you hugged yourself and sat on the cold, hard tiles. you wanted to disappear, away from everything, away from everyone....

- akito.

- akito. you whispered his name in realization. quickly pulling out your phone hidden in your pocket, you typed in akito's contact and opened his messages. you checked the time. he most likely would be leaving practice.

you:

akito

akito

akito

kito <3:

wtf u want

you:

akito code red

- there was a pause in messages, before he made up for it, spamming you relentlessly.

kito <3:

what happened?

who did this to you?

do you need me to beat up anyone?

do u need me to come over? anything i should bring?

you'll be ok, just tell me what you need right now.

you:

just need you here with me

no need to beat anyone up

if you do come over, please just try to make as little conversation with her. like, smile whatever just give her a good impression of you. she's home today

- hoping he got the hint, you washed your face, quietly walked to your room and waited paitently.

- soon enough, you heard a knock downstairs. akito's polite voice (you would usually snicker everytime he used it) chimed through the house, and your mother called you downstairs. "[name], someone's here for you!"

- you wemt downstairs to find your mother and akito, who's customer service smile turned a little softer seeing you.

"this is your boyfriend, correct?"

"...yes mama."

"it's wonderful to see you! i would've loved to chat more, but i'm quite busy nowadays. surely you must be a good choice if [name] chose you."

- "mama..."

- akito smiled. "i'm very lucky to be with [name], mrs. [last name]. now, if you'll excuse us."

- your mother chuckled. "alright, alright. make sure you study for the test. you don't want to ruin your future, do you?"

- you laughed uncomfortably at her remark. she sure knows how to rub in wounds.

- “[name], i have to head off to do some errands, so make sure everything is ok while i'm gone."

- eager to leave, you nodded in response. you finally walked akito to your room and closed the door a little. keys jingled downstairs before a door closed and the lock clicked. you finally took a chance to sigh in relief.

- he sat on the bed and observed your mannerisms, worry in his face. "what happened? was it your mom?"

- tears started flowing down your cheeks and you gripped at your hair, fingers etching itself into your skin. everything turned blurry. your throat felt like the tears were closing it up. your breath was fast, deep, desperate.

- akito abruptly stood up and gently plied your hands off your hair, gently intertwining his fingers with yours. "hey, hey. [name]."

- he guided you to both sit on your bed, as he leaned his face closer to you. his olive green eyes looked into yours, and his whisper felt soft in your eardrums.

- "[name]. breathe. in and out."

- you hiccup and your words tripped over another. "my mom.... dammit! it's always my mom! i'm always trying to please her...but...she's always sets me up to be just her little trophy kid! my whole personality is just a stupid little joke to her! it hurts...akito...it hurts so much..."

- your outburst turned into a desperate, hoarse cry of hopelessness. "this isn't even the first time, 'kito. i'm so done. i put on a happy face for everyone and always pleasing others but when i want something suddenly i'm the bad guy. is this what selfishness is...?"

- akito pulled you closer to him and tightened his arms around you, one hand on your back and one on your head. your cries were the only thing heard as akito rocked you back and forth. a repeated plea of "i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm so sorry" was muffled as your head rested on the crook of akito's neck.

- "be as selfish as you want, [name]. we'll both be selfish. never apologize for being selfish with me."

- your cries slowly quieted down to hiccups, as akito let his lips linger on the top of your head. for the first time this night, you didn't feel so tense.

- "feeling better?"

- you lifted your head for a moment. "a little bit.......!!!!" you noticed your tears landed on his hoodie, and you apologized repeatedly. "oh crap, akito i'm so sorry why didn't you tell me-"

- he placed his hand on your forearm and pulled you in. his lips found their place to yours, and your eyes widened before you finally melted.

- you both slowly leaned back for air and stared into the other's eyes.

- akito took your hand and gently kissed it, leaving no part of your skin without his love.

"we'll have our own little apartment." a kiss to your index knuckle.

- "and we'll have it filled with my equipment and your supplies." a kiss to your middle knuckle.

- "and we'll have little dates in the house, where we just do our own thing, but we know the other person is there and enjoying the other's company. and i'll make sure you never feel unappreciated ever again. and if someone has a problem with that, they're gonna have to go through me first." a kiss to your ring finger. you notice how his lips lingered, almost as if he was sealing a promise.

- "could we have a dog in the apartment?"

- he glared at you and almost let your hand go in disbelief. "absolutely not."

- "whyy?"

- "do you even want me in the apartment??"

- you laughed loudly, and akito eyes softened looking at you. he was finally satisfied with your smile back on your face. but, there’s one thing he forgot.

- you pointed to your last knuckle and watched as akito’s eyes furrowed in confusion before soon realizing what you wanted. he sighed, yet his smile only grew as he kissed the last one.

- “happy?”

- “very. very happy.”

- “you know what i said is true, right? i’m not one to give empty words. you know that out of all people, ya know?”

- you eyes crinkled in genuine joy as you whisper, “i know.”

- he took your hand and stood up, urging you to as well. “well, time to study then. i know damn well i’m not gonna pass this one anyways…”

- you snicker at your lover being hopeless with studying. “you complete idiot, we had so much time to study…”

- the future was always so intimidating to you, the choices of your life so dependent on what you did today. the future where your mother’s dissapointment held. you never wanted the future to come.

- but with akito by your side, you knew at least that your future wouldn’t be so bad with him.

- bring it on, future.

See you in my asks :))

[thomaslightwood]

I feel it's time for me to start posting about other stuff than TSC because after years in the fandom it's just due

I read and watch many, many different stuff other than TSC that is just not reflected on my blog. What is reflected here is barely 1% of my interests, even if that much, at this point.

It's not even about followers or likes or any of this - in fact, I know if I start posting anything different than TSC it will get very little attention probably for a very long time because most of my followers are here for TSC content and wouldn't care about this other stuff. And that's perfectly alright. I just want to freely post about random shit I want to post about or to change my profile pic to another aro character for example, without worrying "but my blog isn't about this and wouldn't reflect what is about if it's not TSC related pic"

I will definitely continue to post TSC. I'm not abounding it. I don't think I can even if I wanted to. But I just want to start having more different stuff on my main blog, just for myself if not anything else.

So from now on I'll post about the books I'm reading, shows I'm watching and excited about, ect. I'll try my best to tag properly so everyone to be able to avoid spam.

So, yeah. Expect many random book posts from now. Bye

[applestorms]

alright,

i am well in need of a proper homestuck reread by this point, it's certainly been long enough since i went through the comic as a whole instead of just skipping around to different acts and conversations. to anyone following me rn who would like to avoid possible post spam about this, i'll be tagging everything with "#astronaut reread" so feel free to filter that. dunno if it'll be that spam-y though tbh, i'm trying to be more careful and take my time going through each page and image to really Pay Attention this time round to make sense of all of the theories/analysis i've been reading lately, but that may also make my liveblogging posts longer so. idk we'll see how this goes

initial thoughts: i've always been drawn to the emptiness of early homestuck, the whole aspect of the kids shitting around in their rooms doing basically nothing of real importance (ignoring hs's love of callbacks) feels very true to the experience of being a teenager in the last few decades. it's quite slow story-wise, of course, but it genuinely does set up a lot of the story later on (john's posters all foreshadowing/inspiring later plot points, etc.) and the vibe is just. man idk, i've seen people criticize act 6 for being slow in that nothing really happens since all the characters are just Waiting, but reading through the very beginning again that almost feels more true to the core of homestuck, or at least where it started. and i like it, sometimes it's nice to just slow down, even though i get the frustration w/ that later in the story after the plot has so much more baggage. but more reflection on that later.

john is an interesting character on a meta level in how he represents the most basic entity in homestuck: the first kid, upon which all other kids evolve off of, but what's more interesting about that fact to me is how his original Home plays into that character. maybe i'm biased by nostalgia, but (A1:82) is such an interesting page, it's like the first point where the comic hints at taking itself more seriously by marking just how empty the space surrounding john is, houses all copies of one another and far apart along the streets. not to mention the wind running through the windchime, perhaps another instance of foreshadowing/inspiration? hussie mentions the idea of vriska being tied to the image of the sun that page ends on in the commentary notes, troll gods not yet conceived of but looking down and watching all the same. honestly all i can think of is a section from the start of ch2 of the zhuangzi:

Master Dapple said, “My, isn’t that a good question you’ve asked, Ziyou! Just now I lost myself. Do you know? You’ve heard the pipes of people, but not the pipes of earth. Or if you’ve heard the pipes of earth, you haven’t heard the pipes of Heaven.”

“May I ask what you mean?”

“The Big Lump belches breath and it’s called wind. If only it wouldn’t start! When it starts, the ten thousand holes begin to hiss. Don’t you hear the shsh-shsh? In the mountain vales there are great trees a hundred spans around with knots like noses, like mouths, like ears, like sockets, like rings, like mortars, like ditches, like gullies. Gurgling, humming, hooting, whistling, shouting, shrieking, moaning, gnashing! The leaders sing ‘Eeeeeeh!’ The followers sing ‘Ooooooh!’ In a light breeze it’s a little chorus, but in a gusty wind it’s a huge orchestra. And when the violent winds are over, the ten thousand holes are empty. Haven’t you witnessed the brouhaha?”

Ziyou said, “So the pipes of earth are those holes, and the pipes of people are bamboo flutes. May I ask about the pipes of Heaven?”

Master Dapple said, “Blowing the ten thousand differences, making each be itself and all choose themselves—who provokes it? Does Heaven turn? Does earth stay still? Do the sun and moon vie for position? Who is in charge here? Who pulls the strings? Who sits with nothing to do, gives it a push and sets it in motion? Do you think it’s locked in motion and can’t be stopped? Or do you think it’s spinning out of control and can’t slow itself down? Do the clouds make the rain? Or does the rain make the clouds? Who rumbles all this out? Who sits there with nothing to do and takes perverse delight in egging it on? The wind rises in the north—now west, now east, now dilly-dallying up above. Who huffs and puffs it? Who sits with nothing to do and blows it? May I ask the cause?”

(translation by norden & ivanhoe)

perhaps that's fitting with all the talk of transformation & flexibility/adaptation in that chapter.

you really can't get away from the names "homestuck" and "s(u)burb" with this beginning to the comic. john, as the quintessential homestuck kid, trapped in his house in the empty suburbs, stuck not because of any physical boundaries/walls, but perhaps because of a lack of them. massive roads and sprawling suburbs that make it impossible to get anywhere on foot is a pretty classic image of modern america, so john's desire for breath, for movement, makes sense in that regard. homestuck has always been most appealing to me in how it doesn't shy away from reality, as messy as that engagement often is, and this beginning feels like it gets at some of that emotional core that homestuck started with. it's immediately followed by a joke about pissing/shitting in the mailbox too. classic.

One of those Days | Eren x Reader

“It’s just one of those days where grace feels far away.”

tags: modern!eren, young adult eren, best boyfie eren

synopsis: it’s been a rough day and your boyfriend Eren realised from your messages that you’re not doing alright and decided to swing by.

word count: 1695

warning: brief description of a low moods. other than that, it’s just soft.

author’s note: there’s just something about imagining yourself being comforted by your comfort characters that just feels so warm? idk who needs it, but here’s eren being your source of comfort after you’ve had a rough day. it is NOT how I imagined it in my head but its whatever

YOUR PHONE PINGED, the sound making you groan and roll over in your bed to face the dressing table beside you. You squinted, the light from your phone’s lit-up screen hurting your eyes in the dark room. The curtains were closed and the lights were off, and it had been that way since you woke up late. It’s been 4 hours since then. You contemplated whether or not you checked who the message was from, a deep sigh leaving your lips as you reached an arm out to grab the device from your dressing table.

The first thing you did was lower the brightness, not wanting to ruin your eyesight (as if to say it was healthy, to begin with) and then you checked the notifications centre and gasped at the number of messages you received from one person in the past hour, alone.

40 messages from bun supremacy

You contemplated whether you opened them, he was your boyfriend, after all. You decided to push yourself up until you were seated, leaning back against the many pillows that decorate your bed. “If I don’t open them, I should be fine.” You spoke to yourself, pressing the notification to see what your worried boyfriend had to say. “Ah, shit.” Your eyes nearly fell out of your head upon seeing that he had been checking up on your wellbeing (and probably stressing, too).

I’m on my way, just letting you know, was the last thing he sent you, the sentence sending your brain into a frenzy. You hadn’t showered, you haven’t cleaned your bedroom in a week and you weren’t even sure what the state of your kitchen and lounge area was like. You didn’t bother checking how long ago he sent the message, tossing your phone aside and jumping to your feet, heading straight for the bathroom. The least you could do was wash your face and brush your teeth.

Once you were done, your first task was opening the curtains and the windows, an attempt to bring some life into your room and get rid of the death-like stench. It’s not like your boyfriend hasn’t been over before, but in the year you had been dating him, he had never encountered you on a really rough day. You were always able to pick yourself up enough to have a slightly tidier space or you would go and visit him to change the scenery.

After quickly making your bed, you put on a pair of sliders and ran out of your room to make a start on cleaning the rest of your apartment. Your journey was cut short by the sight of your boyfriend taking off his shoes at your apartment front door and changing into a pair of sliders that matched yours, a very full duffel bag resting by his feet. He never brought that bag with him unless he was planning to stay over.

You weren’t quite sure why you froze in your steps but it seemed your brain froze, too, unable to form at least a “good afternoon” when he straightened up and locked eyes with you. You couldn’t think of what to do as he walked to your kitchen and set down a bag of what looked like fast food on the counter. You felt like a deer caught in the headlights of a very fast-moving vehicle.

“You didn’t see my messages?” He asked, glancing over at you as if he hadn’t spent all morning spamming your phone to check if you were fine, proceeding to take out the contents of the brown fast-food bag. A wrap, fries, a salad and two canned drinks. One of your favourite go-to depression foods.

“Sorry, I was… busy.” You finally find the words to say, clearing your throat and sliding your feet across the floor as you went to the cupboards to take out two plates, turning around and placing them on the counter. “Why order food? I could have made something.”

“You haven’t eaten, cooking will take too long.” He answered, not even sparing you a glance whilst he took the plates and unwrapped the food, neatly placing them onto the dishes. It always amazed you that he could tell when you haven’t eaten anything, or when you were having a rough time. It made things easier for both of you as you never had to explain because he would support you without a word. It saved the task of having to put your feelings into words, which often made you feel worse.

“Sorry I didn’t answer your messages earlier.” You muttered, watching him shaking his head in response. He looked up at you, green eyes scanning your face before he gave you a half-smile.

“It’s okay. I’m here now.” He said, nodding his head to the space behind him, which was the lounge area. “Come on.” He took his plate and drink and headed to your coffee table, setting his things down and taking a seat on the floor.

“Mhm.” You nod, following after him and taking a seat beside him, turning around to grab the tv remote from your couch so that you weren’t eating in awkward silence. It probably wouldn’t have been an awkward silence, but in your mind, you could see yourself being uncomfortable the whole time.

Sometimes it scared you when he never asked questions. Not because of anything negative, but because you were certain he could read you like an open book. It took one look from those wide eyes of his to read your mind and sometimes it made you feel exposed. You wondered sometimes if when he stared at you, he was trying to read your mind. Like he was doing right now, occasionally stealing glances at you whilst you had your meal. Of course, that was probably because you hadn’t given him an inkling of how you were doing and so he had to rely on his expert body language reading skills to figure out what was going on. How were you supposed to tell him anyway when you didn’t even know what was going on?

You sighed, the feeling you were wallowing in all morning coming back and killing your appetite. At least you ate half of your meal. It was better than nothing.

“Are you okay?” The man beside you finally asked the question that had been on his mind all day, setting his food down and turning his body to give you his undivided attention.

“I don’t know. It’s just one of those days, I guess. I’m just tired.” You answered him honestly, your voice quiet compared to the low volume of the nonsensical show playing from the tv.

“Let’s go sit on the couch, you might be able to take a nap. We can clean up late.” He didn’t give you the option to argue against it, getting to his feet and holding his hands out to help you up. You held back a sigh, taking his slightly rough hands and pulling yourself up. You both headed to the coach and automatically placed yourselves into the spooning position. His long arms wrapping around you and pulling you into his chest. You wrapped your hands around one of his forearms, burying your arm into his bicep so you could breathe him in. He was warm and soft, smelling like pines and cinnamon and detergent. He felt like home.

There was something about this single act of being held by him in this position that seemed to open the floodgates. Your throat was burning, your sight blurring from the sudden onset of tears and you felt your body shake. In one second, you became a sobbing mess, crying loudly whilst your boyfriend unwrapped one of his arms to gently caress your head to comfort you.

You weren’t quite sure how long you had been crying for, but eventually, you felt as if you had managed to pour your entire soul out, so much so that you were now exhausted. Despite the fact that you knew your boyfriend’s jumper was now soaked in your tears and snot and you looked worse for wear, you were grateful for the cathartic experience. What you had been feeling for the past few days had been weighing you down and all it took was half a wrap, a cuddle and a gentle stroke of your head to feel release. Perhaps he knew you needed it.

You felt him shift behind you, your body too tired and weak to find the strength to see what he was doing. You felt his hand at your lower back and before you could ask what he was doing, you see his hand in front of your face with a clean tissue. He wiped your eyes first and then your nose, you tilt your head towards him to help him see you better.

You watched him carry a concentrated look on his face as he made sure he’d cleaned away all the mess from your face (and his sleeve), brows knit together and lips pulled into a small pout. For some reason, it made you laugh, the breathy sound startling him for a moment before he relaxed and tried to fight a smile.

“What are you laughing at?” He muttered, throwing the used tissue so that it landed on the coffee table.

“You’re babying me.”

“Yeah. You’re my baby.” He gave you a gentle smile then leaned down and planted a kiss onto your forehead. You returned the smile because he was absolutely right. You wouldn’t trust yourself with anyone else but Eren Yeager. “You’re my baby.” He repeated, this time allowing his lips to meet yours.

Alright, this might be a bit too early to be saying this, but ever since Rook's 'betrayal' and those who are hating on him now...I'm kind of worried the same thing might happen to Silver. Since each of the stories take parts from the movies, we know that Silver is twisted from the sword that killed Maleficent. And what if he's forced to defeat Malmal? Knowing toxic people are in the fandom, they might start bashing others for still loving him. That's what scares me. ~🍁leaf anon

I was thinking of the same thing a few days ago www. Well, *sigh* time for another analysis I guess:

Considering what we had to go through after Pomefiore chapter...I thought if it was really just because of how the story ended. But I came to realize something important, the drama wasn't simply because a NRC student voted for RSA, it was because Rook did this, a character who already had a considerably dramatic reputation in the fandom way before Pomefiore was released:

Let me give you a better example, Leona. In savanaclaw's arc Leona was this close to seriously killing Ruggie. We all know that it wasn't intentional, his attack was a result of having his magic stone tainted which soon led to Leona's overblot so his actions/ emotions weren't really under his control at the time.

But still, he almost killed Ruggie but no one ever really started a drama or #CancelLeonaKingscholar tag over it, I'd dare say no one even blamed him either.

Well Leona might not be the best example we can use here but I assure you, if Rook does something really bad, and Leoona does the exacf same thing afterwards, Leona would face less punishment and blame because of his current popularity and clout.

According to the statistics, Leona's currently the most popular dorm leader and most likely the most popular character of the game, doing something absolutely horrible may lead to a mild decrease in number of fans, yet, it'll never, never be as dramatic and horrible as what fans did over Rook.

Look, clout is very important, so if a potentionally popular character does something bad a considerble majority of fans might simply ignore and exucse their deeds, note that as students who have souls of greatest of villains none of them were ever supposed to be any pure either; NRC is a school of villains.

What I'm trying to say, is that the drama was also exaggerated because it was with Rook of all people. Both Rook and Vil are characters who have been looked down on and harassed ever since twst was released, so no wonder why the fandom exploded when Rook of all people made NRC lose the VDC.

-Defending your bias- is something quite common in not just twst but rather each and every fandom all over the world! I'm not saying everyone would just ignore everything horrible their bias has done to defend them, but a huge majority of fans would this soooo when dramas like his arrive, more popular characters like Leona and Malleus have a higher chance of survival while Rook just drowned under the pile of hate comments and posts.

Regarding the Diasomnia chapter, I'd give you an example using Malleus; He is a very important character, dare to say the most important character of the game after Yuu. Why am I saying this? Oh God, can't you all see? The one and only character to be on twst's official poster, the only one who got an official artwork aside his concept art and game cards design; the very last character we're going to have a SSR pick up for and the last dorm leader we're going to meet and also the only character who happened to befriend and get to know Yuu without knowing them much or having a specific chance to meet them in school.

Why is his role so important? We don't know. We don't know what makes Malleus special and that's my point, it can even turn out to be something truly evil.

I love Malleus, but at the same time I don't fully trust him, his "I've got lovely plans to entertain you here" has been giving me chills for so long and if he turns out to be a total contrast to the silly tamagotchi baby this fandom has made of him I won't be the least surprised; yet, even if we get to face a plot twist that changes our entire perspective towards him ( in bad way) I still won't unstan him, not because I think of him as a misunderstood and isolated young boy who is kind and pure at heart no matter how scary he looks on the outside.

Each and every of our characters (except Silver, I'd later explain why) have a dark side to them whether you like it or not, that's a fact. Expecting guys who are supposedly twisted Villains to behave like a prince on the white horse is nothing but a wild fanon fantasy.

I guess Diasomnia chapter is still going to face less drama since most of Diasomnia characters are considerbly popular among the fans, but Sebek's on think ice I'd say, I'm sure that I won't ever see a #CancelMalleusDraconia tag but a #CancelSebekZigvolt tag? That's not too far from mind considering how Rook got shitted on because of a simple vote. I guess almost all of us have already prepared for Silver's possible betrayal as the sword so if anyone ever dares start a drama over something which we already saw coming long ago, that's a matter of immaturity and obvious stupidity.

Long story short, no matter what happens in the future story line, I expect everyone to be civil. Just a boo is all it takes for some dramtic fans to lose their minds again but let me tell you: Even if Malleus DIES(which is logically impossible) in the very end I'm still mature enough to never start a drama over it no matter how badly it hurts.

But...since I know there's never really a way to prevent drama in this fandom, all I can say is to stay silent whenever you see a wave of drama. Don't support the drama, but don't oppose to it either, just ignore it.

I was watching as the wave of Rook drama washed down the fandom and this is the summary of how posts changed under the tags:

12 hours after the release of Pomefiore's final episodes: Memes clowning Rook, mild spams of hate.

12 hours- 4 days after the release of Pomefiore's final episodes: Posts defending Rook, shoutouts, stuff explaining why Rook's vote for RSA made sense, etc.

You see what I mean? The first 12 hours was the main wave of hate spam but this drama was mainly about the spam of posts defending Rook, not attacking him.

Continuing a drama, whether it's by hating a character or defending them just worsens the chaos even as you're totally right and mean good.

The one and only way to truly prevent a drama from being spread all over the fandom, is by not supporting/atracking any posts, ignoring drama and waiting until no one is talking about it anymore.

Capt. Puffy and BadBoyHalo 25 APR 21

Delayed Liveblogging Red Banquet Part 1/1

I’m not mentally prepared for this

But Eret looks awesome and I’m glad they decided to ride the red armor horse.

We’re nervous too.

Also Fundy casually wearing just plain armor.

I’m dual weilding streams now.

Bads got some good music going.

I’m going to primarily watch Puffy’s POV but I’m also watching Bad because I refuse to miss anything.

Ponk and Ant are there wondering where everyone is. Everyone is watching Eret spin on a horse.

Oh Niki!

Oh Sam!

I love how some went all out and got new skins while others just, threw on some armor.

Oh. Everyone’s finally wandering in.

I’m going to mostly listen to Bad never mind. I feel listening to the most main character ish character would be smart.

Ah water. Sketchy.

This is too hospitable for my liking.

Niki seems impressed.

Everyone claiming to be 6’3” wow.

I’m still in love with the fact that Eret’s and Foolish’s outfits do match those from that one fan art.

Oh look at Fundy all dressed up.

I look away for one second and Sam is in a cauldron.

There is too much funny stuff happening for lore.

Finally making there way to the dance floor. Nice.

Bad’s end is so far behind where I am watching Puffys.

Forget it. I’ll watch Puffy’s uneless something interesting happens.

Everything does look nice.

Foolish. Please don’t make this too cursed. Please.

Thick Cider. Mhm.

*noises of disappointment in cursed lore*

Has no one met Fundy? They are surprised he robbed the outfit.

Eret so proud of her dress.

Oh wait George is here for the Lore and he is on time. Impressive.

Sam isn’t wearing pants... that is a good point. Oh off he goes.

This is just a series of insulting each other in fancy outfits. There is no lore. Only mild chaos.

Are we having a maid bit? Yep we are having a cat maid hbomb bit.

We’re just sitting her insulting one another.

Dinner! I’m also trying to add tags to this with everyone who is here and this is going to be hard.

Puffy also sitting at the head of the table. That’s probably symbolic.

Look at Foolish go... look at that totem go.

Oh look the King is speaking. Oh monarch?

Eret’s skin just looks so good. I can’t get over it.

Everyone taking turns sharing at the banquet like kids introducing themselves at the start of an event.

Oh no. Puffy is going.

Road trip plays in the background.

Oh George. Fundy cheering for being asleep.

Beat flavored soup. Wow. Free range beet. I would say that.

Who is throwing eggs? I recognize that sound effect.

Bad. You are talking yourself into a hole.

I know dramatic speeches and I did not like those pauses.

Whoa Whoa Whoa. Lava Wall.

We leaving the leaf.

HBomb is sizzling.

Oh. They planned for her plan.

This feels like a chaotic show.

WAIT HANNAH! I FORGOT THE EGG GOT HER!

No. No main event.

How many other plans are there?!?! This feels like such a strange episode.

Oh? Attempted egg splosion.

We knew that wouldn’t work after Quackity’s attempt.

Well... it was a good try.

Wait executions! There aren’t enough cannon lives here for executions.

Oh Eret! Speaking up.

You go your majesty.

He might have been the original traitor but he did get to grow.

Oh please don’t sacrifice Eret.

Oh Fundy sounds so distraught.

Oh wow Fundy and Niki saying exactly the same thing.

I do not like this.

Ah the totem has yeeted the Rolex.

Yes Lightning!

Oh they planned for that. he revealed his skills and they planned for it.

*distressed sounds*

Wow Eret is ready to die first so Foolish doesn’t have to.

And they swapped spots.

No. Quit manipulating. We don’t need another manipulation arc.

I’m getting chills from all this.

NOOOOO

Canon Life’s Lose so far: 1

Bop Bop Bop. Another one bites the dust.

Oh. Quackity.

Sup Quackity.

Eret you aren’t streaming quit blocking the view.

Go duck man go.

How did Quackity get in again? I missed that somehow?

The Rolex. Quit with the mild comedy! We’re over here crying and y’all are throwing a Rolex.

Oh no! What army.

FREAKING TECHNOBLADE!

AND THE HOUNDS!

Alright. Waiting for the dogs to come is an acceptable comedic distraction.

Techno is terrifying.

Oh Purpled. And kiddo has a nice suit.

Techno and Quackity’s fans are going to go nuts.

Look at Puffy go.

Good job gal.

Look at that hound army go.

All the cannon lives being lost.

Don’t go for him?

Oh Purpled go. That ok.

Poor Fundy sounds so stressed.

Techno in character going “IDK who that is”

Oh rats. They got out.

Another prison. Why is that our solution to everything.

Ive pulled Bad’s POV up again, but I’ve got ads.

Oh. Bad sounds sad. And his chat is spamming dream...

And he has sad music.

Everyone being an unreliable narrator here.

Oh bad boating away.

While everyone talking about containing the egg.

Oh Bad’s ending on a sad note.

People talking about plot armor. Eret has been here since Early L’manberg and he still has all cannon lives.

Well. Bad ended and everyone else is stressing.

Digging out. Everyone so done with all that.

Aww. No more parties...

Hooray Air!

Oh. Stew.

Oh Puffy honey.

Her child was killed in front of her. Killed her friends. There is a crisis.

The others dinking around just out of and just in frame aren’t helping the moment.

Oh. We lost a doggies. Sadness.

Sorry wait Puffy is doing heart hurting stuff.

Go find your boy honey.

Oh wait we’re ending.

Well... that was something.

Can someone else go live and just kinda chill on the smp out of character please? Just so there is a little less whiplash of streams ending.

Anyway. That was really good and I like all the characters being involved. Didn’t feel like anyone was too out of place between speeches and just the hanging out at the beginning.
