AO3 Etiquette -UPDATED

Based on both decent and not so decent replies, I have made some changes to my original post below.

It would seem a whole new kind of AO3 reader/writer is emerging and it is becoming clear not everyone quite understands how the website community works. Here is some basic guidance on how most people expect you to go about using AO3 to keep this a fun community archive that funtions correctly:

As well as likes, kudos is for when the story was interesting enough to make you finish reading. If it sucked or was badly written, you probably left. If you finished it, you liked it - so kudos.

If you really liked it, you should try to comment. It can be long and detailed or a literal keysmash. Writers don't care, we just love comments.

No critisism unless the author has specifically asked or agreed to hear it (so use your notes to say if you want some constructive feedback). Even constructive critisism is a no-no unless an author note tells you it's okay. No, posting it online is not an open invitation for that. Many people write as a fun hobby or a way to cope with, among other things, insecurity and just want to share. Don't ruin that for them. I've seen so many authors just stop writing coz they can't handle the negative emotions the critism brings, and it's only meant to be a fun thing shared for free (pointing out tagging errors is not included in this).

Do not comment to ask the author to write/update something else. It's tacky and off-putting and will probably have the opposite effect than the one you want.

There is no algorithm, it's an archive. Use the search and filter function to add/remove the pairings/characters/tropes etc. you want to read about and it will find you the fics that fit the bill.

For this to work, writers must tag and rate stories. This avoids readers finding the wrong things and missing the stuff they want. I don't care how cringy that trope is in your eyes - it gets tagged.

The tag exception is if you don't want to tag a million things or spoil your story, you can rate it as "chose not to use warnings," and maybe tag the bare minimum.

Don't censor tags. How can someone exclude a tag if the word isn't typed out correctly? There are no content bans for terms so don't censor them.

If the tags are mostly content/trigger warnings, especially if they are things considered very fucked up or graphic, you might want to use "dead dove - do not eat" to ensure people know that you're not messing around with tags and what they get is exactly what you've warned them about.

Character A/Character B means a ROMANTIC or SEXUAL relationship of some kind. Character A&Character B is PLATONIC, like friendship or family.

Nothing is banned. This is an rule because banning one thing is a slipperly slope to banning another and another, until nothing is allowed anymore. Do not expect anyone to censor for you. Because of the tags system, you are responsible for your own reading experience.

People can create new chapters and sequels/fic series any time after they "complete" a story. So it's considered perfectly normal to subscribe, even to a finished story. You can even subscribe to the author instead just to cover your bases.

Do not repost stories or change the publishing date without an extremely good reason (like a complete top to bottom rewrite or an exchange youve written for going public). It's an archive, not social media. No one cares what's the most recent, only what fits their tag needs.

Instead of deleting a story you wrote if you hate it - consider making it anonymous or orphaning it so others can still enjoy it, without it being connected to your name anymore. If you still want to delete it, fair enough.

It's come to my attention that metaworks ARE allowed on AO3, which is something I wasn't aware of. So if you do post an essay or theory, please tag it as such so others can choose to search for it or exclude it. Art is also allowed.

The only reason this archive works is because NON ONE PROFITS. Do not link to your ko-fi or patreon or mention monetary gain in any way or you violate the terms and risk having your account removed. If anyone does link, it leaves the archive open to people claiming it's for profit and having the whole thing removed.

I KNOW there's plenty more I missed but I'm trying to cover most of the basics that people seem to be struggling with.

I invite anyone to add to this, but please explain, don't berate.

"you are my witch"

lilia calderu x reader • pure smut • 3.2k w/c

summary: you've been friends with lilia calderu for years. drunken from the poison of wine, you confess your love for the woman. although reluctant to admit her feelings, because she harbors a secret you don't know, you learn that lilia feels the same way. years of yearning come to an end, and you find yourself falling into your desires, unable to control what has been kept away for so long.

taglist: @setsuna1415 @honeypiperpizza123 @valarmorghuli @allseingeye @im-a-carnivorous-plant @worstendingever @ramblininsomnia @wandamaximoff-simp @mrsines @onlyv4use @kenzie-floops @screamsin-gay @numenamortenia @valkyrierain @babythere @inlovewithalcinadimitrescu @astrophilliaxx @giona45-5 @evilregal2002 @crescendoofstars @yourbasicqueerie @primalnight @darkangelchronicles @sapphic-girlss @thegoddamnfeels @doctormaviatorres @i-hate-most-insects @brisgayshit97 @iheartmilfzzsposts @redrouge7e7as @novavala @finnza @wandringlightsaber @romanoffsho @kingpreciouswrld @emilyprentitss @elobv10 @wandasreallover @kaypastore38 @thegayassbit-ch @marinalunaestrella @gryffindor-forlife @lorrainemylove @anais-casablanca @girlwithissuesworld @ofgoldandbraid @justgaygirlthings @beachhausu @deathly777 @confuseuniverse @eepyvampy @whyilovewomen @r-3-becca @roksana6448 @bugcolector @etw12 @heartsfromelle @zyguard118 @thelesbianapollokid4 @opossum-in-disguise @snoopyaah @amberwhale @marisacoulterswife @ionlylikefictionalpeople @derry-n @evie-101 @ganyulover123

content includes: fingering, oral stimulation, biting, praise, hair pulling, pet name usage

you noticed the difference in her eyes like it was bolded in bright red ink. her smile fell, like an angel to descend from heaven. 'this is it' you thought, 'she’ll hate me.' you turned away in shame, your heart dropped. words flooded out, stupid, careless words. "i love you, lilia." 

you couldn't bear to look, you feared the disagreement would show on her face. your body tenses, and you scrunch the bridge of your nose with your fingers. you expect her to tell you to get out, or leave.. but you hear nothing. 

but you feel, oh, you feel. 

you feel her behind you, closer than when you had muttered those stupid, damning words. her fingers gently traced your neck, and you closed your eyes, the yearning in your soul up to its brink of expression. each breath you take is shaky, is heavy. you tilt your head aside, desperate to feel her warmth on your skin forever. 

you open your eyes when you feel her breath on your neck. she must've noticed your body's reaction, because she paused, and remained still. lilia traces her fingers down your body, to your hips. she stops here, her lips close to your ears, as her body presses into your back. 

you lean into her, your head slightly leaning back, at the pure and utter pleasure you feel being so close to her. her lips part, and with such composure, yet so little solidity, she delivers a line that would come to send shivers down your spine. "i have loved you since i saw you the first time, long ago. i am consumed and rattled by you at every waking second.." her hands pull you in, and you hum at the gesture. your eyes are closed, not because you hate this, or don't want to be there, but because the way you long for her in this moment now is too painful for you to bear. a lump forms in your throat when you feel her wet cheek graze your neck. she was in tears, and you needed to console her; but how? how should you console her now? you did not have much time to think. her lips, warm, soft, and gentle, were on your neck. the kiss she blessed your skin with felt like one that existed prior to the world, and forever past the present. it was torture, it was devastation, when she pulled away. it hurt, it was brutal.. so brutal, your lips parted, and you gasped quietly. your hand reached back for her head, and you enveloped your fingers in the curly, silver locks of her hair. you held her head close to yours, as her thumbs rubbed gently upon your hips. her voice broke as she completed her confession, and your heart broke with it; you'd do anything to protect her, to keep her from harm. "i'm a witch, y/n.. how could you ever love a witch?" 

your eyes opened, and you stopped breathing, for just a moment. you were sure you'd heard wrong. with a furrowed brow, and a worrisome expression, you broke away from her touch, from her hold. you turned to her, and your head tilted to the side, as tears began to form in your waterline. the sight of her, so weak, so doubtful of herself, so ashamed.. your heart shattered like a broken mirror. 

her face was lined with streaks of wet. she had cried for this, she suffered for it. she couldn't even look at you, her eyes were avert. 

your hands raced to cup her cheeks, and you gently wipe away her tears. her lips part, in astonishment, followed by her eyes meeting your gaze. finally, you saw those beautiful eyes again. your heart skipped a thousand beats at the sight of those irises. you smile, and your face softens. "lilia.." you whisper, your forehead pressed against hers now, "i've loved you since the sun rose opposite the moon. i've chased you in all of my wildest dreams. i've loved you in every moment and i would not stop because of what you are or are not." at your notation, her lips fold into a smile. she grabs your wrists softly, holding them. once more you spoke, "you are my witch, my little piece of divinity. you are mine, and my heart is yours." you watch as her eyes move from your eyes to your lips, and you wish for nothing but her to kiss you. 

after all these years, of being her "friend", you have never wanted anything more than for her to kiss you. it's like an insatiable hunger you cannot destroy. 

lilia bites her lip, and she grabs your chin with her pointer finger and her thumb. you start to breath heavy, and your heart begins to race. she brings your face to hers, so close that your lips graze against one another’s. you ache for her, you long for her. you need to taste her, to merge your body, your soul, your heart, with hers. you need her to kiss you. 

and she does. her lips mesh with yours in perfect harmony, like the melody of heaven’s sea. your mind is adrift, clouded. you cannot form a thought, you do not desire to form a thought. her unaccompanied hand caresses the small of your back, and you pull her closer with the hands you hold on her face. 

she slips her tongue along your bottom lip, and you moan softly into the kiss. her grip on your chin releases, and she holds your jaw instead. she guides you through the long, heart-felt kisses. her lips control your body, your mind. 

warmth builds between your thighs, and your head is still covered by nothing but a blanket of emptiness. lilia is the first to pull away, her lack of oxygen in her lungs being the culprit. you curse the living necessity of air. 

you yourself breathe heavy, panting almost. lilia’s lipstick is smudged, and you smirk at the notion that you've just kissed this marvel of a woman. she notices your cocky smile, and a single eyebrow lifts. she now wore a smirk herself. 

“you're looking at me like you've just seen me naked, y/n.” you chuckle when she says this. “while i wouldn't be opposed to that, i'm just a little satisfied with the fact that in the midst of kissing me, you forgot about your lipstick.”  

her smirk faded and her lips parted again, she pop looked offended, but you could tell it was just her beautiful sense of sarcasm. 

“fix it for me?” she asked this with a lower tone and a wink, and you felt your core throb at the sound of her voice. she wanted you to kiss her again. 

you ran your tongue across your bottom lip, and you couldn't help your smile. her hands guided your face close, and you pushed a curl behind her ear. she grew desperate, unable to wait. her lips caught yours, and you shut your eyes at the contact. in your head you pictured her eyes, beautiful and brown, like the rock embedded and shaded on the side of a mountain. your grip on her hair tightened as she pushed you back softly, making sure not to break the kiss. her lips were soft, so soft it felt like the comfort a pillow brings in the hour of sleep. you moan as your lower back makes contact with her counter, and your head leans back, which breaks the embrace. 

the wetness between your thighs grows, and you figure your underwear must be utterly ruined. lilia's fingers stroked your hair, and she shook her head slightly, a whisper following shortly. "let me taste you.. every inch of you.." you bite your lip, and hold her gaze, nodding hesitantly; even though you don't feel hesitant on your answer at all. her smirk returns, and her hands descend, down from your hair to your neck. she drags them further down, past your shoulders. she stops at where the unbuttoned cardigan opens, pushing the material off of your arms and body. her warmth intoxicates you when her skin brushes against yours. she plants hot kisses on your upper arms, which are exposed because of the camisole top you wore. 

her hands found the straps to your shirt, and she pulled them down slowly, kissing the empty place they used to cover. you tense, and your eyes shut as your lips purse together while you try to conceal the soft hum of pleasure you make.

lilia's fingers pull away the top, leaving you completely naked and exposed from your waist up. she smiles at the sight, her hands cupping your breasts. you feel the slick between your legs, it seems the inner part of your thighs had gotten soaked by extension.

her thumbs grazed over your nipples, and the sensation was enough to drive you wild. you pulled her head into the curve of your neck, your lips parted as soft moans escaped. she chuckles and her lips start to kiss your neck. 

your knees go weak, simply from the ecstasy her lips brings you. her thumbs lose the feel of your sensitive buds, and she begins to creep down your throat. she leaves sloppy kisses down your collarbone, and down to your nipples. her eyes close as she takes one into her mouth, suckling on the sweet spot. your eyes fall back, and you inhale, biting down onto your lip to stop yourself from being loud. her fingers play with your lone nipple, and you feel as though you will not be able to take much more of this before becoming pathetic for her. 

the witch releases your areola from her mouth and takes in the other, her tongue lapping around the bundle of nerves. her hands trace the curves of your body. they pause when she's reached your hips, and she digs her nails into your skin. the pain blends with the pleasure beautifully, and it's as if they are interchangeable. 

you breathe heavily, your stomach twitching when she starts to drag her lips down your stomach. your pussy was so wet that she could smell the scent of arousal from your waistline. her fingers pulled up the black skirt you wore, and it revealed your soaked nude panties. she chuckled, looking up at you with eyes that were darkened and overwhelmed with lust. she bit her lip and furrowed her brow, which made you roll your eyes. 

“you're so wet, darling. i could just devour you.” you gently pull her hair, forcing her head back a little. she smirks, and you pout. “please, i need you” you say, pleading for her tongue, for her fingers, for her to be the one to shape you into a mess of a woman. 

she winks, bringing her mouth to your inner thigh. she leaves kisses along your skin, and it seems as though she’s teasing you. her eyes stay locked onto yours with each touch of her lips, she wants to see your face as she tortures you.

your hands release her hair, and grab onto the counter behind you, your nails scratch the surface with each new touch. her eyes look so dark, and it turns you on even more. 

but your view of them is gone as she bites into your other thigh. her teeth are sharp, and your jaw drops, you whimper. her teeth release, and she kisses the bite mark. you open your eyes to see it, to see the mark she had left. it was dark red, and your expression changed, you felt your core throb uncontrollably, and you grabbed her head by her hair, guiding her to your cunt. your eyes pleaded with her. 

lilia opened her mouth and licked the wet slick on your panties, all while looking you dead in the eyes. the touch was faint, but it was all your body needed to jerk up. it was so cruel, the way she left you needy and desperate for her. you couldn't think beyond her tongue on your clit, or her fingers buried in your warm folds. 

she bit the material of your under garment, pulling it slowly down your legs. her eyes were stolen away by the sight of you completely naked and in front of her, soaked, ruined. you were such a slut for her. you wonder if she would tease you about how soiled you got for her later down the line. 

the witch sighed, and her lips kissed the very inside of your thighs, right beside where you writhed for her. you thought you might faint. 

using your hand, you rubbed her cheek, shaking your head at the sight of her, down on her knees, ready to please you.  

she turned her face, kissing your gentle fingers. you smiled, and you took a deep breath as she brought her face as close as possible to your core. her eyes were focused on your face, you could tell she wanted to watch your face as she ate you out. so typical of her. 

her face buried between your legs, her tongue circling your clit. your hands shot behind you to the counter once more, desperate to hold yourself up. your eyes closed, and your back arched. the moan that echoed through the room was inevitable. she took her time, finding the nerves that were more sensitive and paying more attention to them. you thought she must've found you stupid to be so wet and needy for her. 

her tongue sped up, and she took your clit into her mouth, suckling the bud. you couldn't control the way your hips bucked, or the way your knees fell wobbly and weak. her hands grabbed your hips to stabilize her, and she pulled her mouth away in a flash. 

you were worrisome, you thought maybe you'd messed up, or maybe she'd realized she didn't want you like this. it was almost heartbreaking to feel her pull away. 

she had never stopped looking at you, though. you of course couldn't tell because your eyes had closed before out of the extremity of what you were feeling. 

she looked serious, determined, but her eyes were still as dark as before. you blush at the sight of her face covered in your taste, your slick. her mouth opened, and you heard every word with such a heavy impact. “do not close your eyes again. i want to see your eyes, your face, at every moment. do you understand?”

your heart starts to race again, there was just something so inexplicable about the way her words made you feel. you nod your head, scared that if you spoke your words would be jumbled. she didn't accept it though, her voice changed, from demanding to mischievous. “you understand..? what do you understand, dear? how does it make you feel..? tell me how i make you feel.” 

you bite your lip, looking up at the ceiling. maybe you were throwing up a prayer that you wouldn't mess up, or maybe you were just trying to prepare yourself for what she wanted from you. her right hand slipped from your hip, and you didn't notice, so fixated on her request. you went to start speaking, but as you did, you felt her fingers inside of you. 

your head leaned back, and you closed your eyes. a hushed “fuck!”, was followed by a loud humming. she smirked, “what did i say about closing your eyes, baby?” 

you forced them open, forced them to lock their gaze down onto her own. you wanted to make her happy. you needed to please her just as badly as you needed her to make you cum. 

“i'm sorry, darling—” as you began again, her fingers started to pump inside of your pussy, and your mouth lay agape. she didn't stop, even as you took a moment to continue, and you took a deep breath. 

“you want me to look— oh, fuck.. god.” it was like she went faster with each word you spoke. you took note of her devilish grin, thinking that you'd someday get your revenge. “you want me to look at you, you want to see me when— shit!” your body flinches as she curls her digits inside you, her speed still gradually increasing. “come on, princess, you're doing so good” she whispered this against your clit, right before sucking it into her mouth again. 

you bit your lip and your hands pulled her by the hair, just giving you something to hold onto. “when i cum for you, when i'm just a puddle for you.. you want to see me when i take your fingers!” 

the words came out shaky, spaced between your moans and whimpers. her fingers started to go as fast as they could, and lilia lapped her tongue around your wet clit, stimulating every single part of your cunt. she was still looking at you. you held her gaze as you started to tremble, your body shaking as it came to the brink of an orgasm. 

you finished your thought, giving her what she asked of you. “it makes me feel like abandoning everything for you, to have you like this, every second, every moment.”

her eyes closed, and you watched her remain between your thighs. your body hit a climax, and your hips bucked up, your back arching. you yelled for her, her name. your eyes rolled to the back of your head and you bit your lip to muffle any further sounds as she fucked you through your orgasm. 

when you had came, your white fluid casing over her fingers, she pulled her mouth away from your clitoris. 

you, with your head still fuzzy, had managed to pull her back up to you by her hair. her lips were so wet because of you. you immediately pull her in to kiss you, tasting yourself on her tongue and lips. she pulled away, breaking the contact. her teeth captured your bottom lip and you sighed when she pulled it back. 

lilia’s lips started kissing your neck, and she brought them to your ear, whispering hushedly, “clean your pretty little mess, my love.” 

you whimper, and you open your lips, as she slips her two cum-covered fingers inside of your mouth. you suck off your fluid, and the growing wetness between your legs returns.

the older witch laughs, kissing your neck again. her lips find yours once more, and she kisses you like there is no other action in this world. her tongue invades your mouth, as she tastes the sweetness that remains.

PLEASE DO NOT HARASS THIS PERSON.

I'm genuinely tired of HB/HH/Vivziepop stans putting words into my mouth.

"You literally hate everything about the show"

Fyi, I didn't hate the premise. I also don't hate: 1) The animation; 2) The voice acting; 3) The potential the show had, and hopefully still has, since it will apparently have at least four seasons.

But ever since HB went from being about the misadventures of assassins in Hell, into a romance drama between two characters who are clearly toxic for each other, that's when I started hating the plot. The third point you made is true, I do hate the plot, and I will continue to do so, unless all this focus on an abusive gay ship (Stolitz) shifts back to what got me and a lot of other people into the show in the first place. And no, I'm not going to stop being vocal about it just because someone else told me to. You're on the internet buddy, learn to accept the fact that not everyone will have the same opinions as you.

And that's really NOT something to get worked up about.

"Just stop watching it if you are this upset about all of this"

Maybe you should stop going into the critical tag if you know that what you're gonna find there will upset you. Just a thought.

And if you've come across my post by searching "blitzo" "moxxie" "millie" or "loona," all you had to do was read the very first sentence I wrote (having to do about my issues with the latest episode) and click off my post because clearly criticism of your beloved show triggers you. And no, I won't stop tagging the characters like this even if I have something negative to say about them. This perfectly explains as to why:

"You hate the main character"

Which one? If you mean Blitzø, then no. I don't hate him. I literally said it in the tags.

But if you mean Stolas, then yeah, I hate him. So what?

"You hate most of the characters in general"

If by most characters you mean Stolas, then yes, I do.

But uh... I don't hate any other character aside from maybe Loona? She's written so inconsistently. There's no real development when it comes to Loona. She acts like a huge bitch and a spoiled brat despite receiving love from her dad for five years straight. She is a grown ass woman who kicked Blitzø in the balls after telling Octavia that Stolas is "trying his best" when he clearly wasn't. She physically abused Blitzø just because he called her out RIGHTFULLY, remind me why she didn't beat the shit out of him again in the latest episode after Blitzø wanted her to overwork herself AND didn't pay her for a month?

Oh and there's also the time Loona cheered for Blitzø, tucked him in and called him dad. Why is she abusive towards him in the very next episode?

That's the inconsistency I'm talking about.

As for the other main characters:

I genuinely relate to Octavia. And I feel sorry for her. Enough said.

I don't care about Millie. It's too little too late for that.

I'm not sure how to feel about Moxxie. Where is his character arc even going? What is his character arc? Learning to stand up for himself for the millionth fucking time?

Stella is a wasted character whose only purpose is making Stolas seem "innocent." I hate what the writers did to her.

Also yes, I dislike Viv for reasons that are 100% valid and available to the public, so I'm not making stuff up.

Imagine V’s pet just starts calling Vox dad and the other two uncle and Auntie, they don’t even do it intentionally it just slips sometimes.

Would Vs pet call Vox dad accidentally?

Warnings: Valentino, mentions of SA and abuse, dehumanising reader

If I’m being honest, I don’t think you’d call Vox dad unless you were trying to manipulate him

He would absolutely do the “please, call me dad” or the “I’m practically your dad” line on you and you’d just look at him with a cringing expression

Because you’d be thinking about why on earth you’d call the man who regularly abuses you, lets others abuse you, exploits you and is actively holding your soul hostage dad?

Like, why couldn’t he just be absent like your real dad?

So i think you’d only ever do it if you wanted to manipulate Vox into giving you something or letting you refuse a request from the others

As for velvette, you call her auntie and she’s beating your ass

Your not a real person to velvette, your an item she obsesses over and a pet that brings her entertainment and fulfils her needs

She doesn’t view you as family because then she’d have to view you as an equal

If she’s in a good mood she’ll allow you to call her a shortened nickname like ‘vel’ but that’s very rare

If you have to call her a nickname she’d want you to just stick to calling her boss

Auntie just doesn’t fit her image of herself, or her image of the relationship you two share

Now I could see Valentino being weird or playful and saying something like “come spend the day with your uncle Val”

But apart from that I doubt he’d like it if you called him uncle

He views you as more of a person than velvette does, but he still also sees you as just something that fulfils his needs and give him entertainment

Calling him uncle would give him a small realisation of how he’s treating you when he’s touching you or sexualising you

And he does not like to be self aware of his actions, he wants to pretend that he is untouchable to judgement or morality

So being reminded that what he’s doing is actually abuse to a person who he finds himself caring about is an unpleasant experience for him, and he doesn’t like to experience negative emotions

If you did call it him, it would be a similar reaction to how he reacted in the breakdown fic

He’d just stop his actions and let you leave while he contemplates what he’s done

He’d probably go to your room or voxs room in the middle of the night and ask to be held

He’d demand to be praised and reassured that his actions are justified

All in all I think the characters you’d accidentally call auntie, uncle, dad or mom would probably be Charlie, vaggie, lucifer, Rosie, alastor, angel, husk and cherri bomb

But that’ll probably become self explanatory in future fics

Tag list so far :)

Rules and other notices

Only send asks on anon, it's how confessions work, but I won't stop you from adding your name. I'll dm you to verify that you did want your name attached if so.

No racism, homophobia, ableism, etc etc any bigotry, this is a place of honor and decency

NSFW asks are fine with me, as long as they aren't overly para-social, this is a place of dishonor and indecency. To clarify, you can be weirder about Dimension 20 or VIP characters than you can be about real people

Keep things focused on the shows. The casts' personal life is a no go unless discussed on camera. Please include where it was mentioned so I don't have to scrub an entire episode to verify it.

Feel free to respond to other asks, this is a community, it exists for discussions.

Tagging System

#important notices - This is where rule updates and other notices will be posted. I will also update the pinned post when relevant.

#not an ask - It's a tumblr gimmick blog, but I will talk sometimes.

#ask - self explanatory

#nsfw - self explanatory

#negative dropout confession - negative ask, check update for more explanation

i will also be tagging relevant characters, shows, and names

[the-fab-fox]

Okay. So Imma just come out and say it.

Y'all who read fanfic. You. Need. To. Start. Commenting. On. Fics.

I have been told I'm a great writer. I've been told I'm spot-on with characterization. I've been told I'm great at making readers feel and experience what the characters are feeling and experiencing. Been told it's like the reader is in the room as everything plays out.

However, when I see that my fics have upwards of 1K hits and maybe 100-300 comments and maybe 40-100 kudos and not even hitting triple digits in the bookmarks/subscriptions to a fic... Well, what would you think in my shoes?

Most likely, if you're like me, you're thinking all kinds of negative things (especially if you have mental illness/ADHD/neurodivergency of some kind). Stuff like... Oh, those other people are just being nice (not fair to them so I try not to think this way but negative self talk doesn't play nice with me).

Or I think... Okay so they checked it out. They had to click on the fic for it to even register the hit, right? So why don't I at the very least have more kudos? That's the easiest option on there (though it's like a like on here; if you are gonna leave kudos please also leave a comment), right? So what was wrong with my fic that I don't have more kudos at least.

But then I get on here and see so many comments and reblogs on FANART (still not enough for them either though lbr). THE POINT IS... If you read a fic. If you read it and liked it, you all really need to start commenting.

It doesn't even have to be long paragraphs or quoting or any of the ✨ big comments ✨ stuff. You could leave an emoji that be showing me what my fic or update got you feeling. You can do keyboard smash. If the author asks for it, you can leave constructive criticism (but only if the author has actively asked for it; if they haven't or given you permission, then don't). You can absolutely do big comment things too.

One of my favorite type of comments to get are the quoting ones. You just copy/paste and then say what you liked about it or what it made you feel or your reaction to it. Things like that. I love when my readers tell me their fave parts in an update. Or quote a line and tell me their thoughts and feels. Just yes.

We are far too advanced in this day and age and fanfiction and fandom are wholly more accepting than it used to be but for some reason, comments and reactions have become almost non-existent compared to when I was 15. And I was... Pretty cringy in my writing back then but I can admit that. But every chapter I'd get at least 8-10 comments. A chapter!

Even earlier in my Twst series I was getting A LOT more comments and with every fic it seems to have dropped significantly.

To me, to my brain, that tells me that my writing is suddenly sucky or I lost my talent or I'm not actually as great a writer as I was told because then why aren't more people commenting.

You might try to argue and say you're shy. Do you comment on order things? Do you tack onto a reblog to put out some addition to the original post? Do you chat with people in the fandom? Do you comment on fanart?

Then what makes a fanfic any different? (This is not including smut fics because I get but necessarily wanting it tied back to you. But if you open ao3 in a browser you aren't logged into ao3 on, you can (as long as the author has allowed it) post a comment anonymously. Yeah!)

You might say oh well I don't have time to comment right now. But you had time to read the fic? You had time to reblog that shit post? You had time to comment on the tags on a fanart you really loved? Thing is, unless you want to write a long one, comments do not take that long to leave. They really don't.

If you're worried the author doesn't want to hear from you—I'll stop you right there. The author ABSOLUTELY wants to hear from you.

So now is the time to stop making excuses to be lazy. You are reading really great fan literature for free. The least you can do as a thank you and to show support is to COMMENT. ON. THE. FIC.

And if you wanna really make an author's day and help support them and their work, REC the fic. REC the Author's work list. You can do that to friends you know would like it or even better, make a post about the fics and link your recs.

It's really not that hard and we should not have to beg. Realize the blessing you have that fics you would enjoy exist for free and do your part. COMMENT.

[oc-aita]

Welcome to oc-aita!

This blog functions exactly like @am-i-the-asshole-official, except it's for the blorbos from your head only. You pick a scenario that happened in your story, and write it in the point of view of your OC of choice (which doesn't specifically means how other OCs view the situation, or what really happened). Then, they will be judged whether or not they're the asshole here.

The questions will come with a poll, and it follows the same categories as these. For easy access (although they are explained a bit more on the link), they are:

YTA = You're the asshole NTA = Not the asshole JAH = Justified asshole NAH = No assholes here ESH = Everyone sucks here INFO = Not enough information to judge.

Please, provide at least a bit of context! Specially if there's magic or other things that aren't from the real world, but also just. The context needed to understand the situation (or what your OC considers important/relevant).

I also accept fan characters, but I don't know every piece of media, so please clarify (in another ask) if they're from a specific media.

NSFW (tagged as "NSFT") is allowed, but don't get too explicit, if possible. I am an adult, so don't worry for me.

This blog runs on a queue! For now, the waiting time can be up to a week I think, but that's more of a guesstimate rather than a hard truth. You can also find your AITA posted the next day you send it, it really depends.

I will be tagging potential triggers as "[thing] tw", and mentions of these as "[thing] ment". If possible and needed, please put trigger warnings on your own at the beginning on your ask! Sometimes I can miss stuff.

I don't accept Alternative Universes AITAs only involving canon characters from media. If your AITA is about a fan character and it involves a canon character from that media (example, if your FC is asking whether they're the asshole in a situation involving a canon character), that's fine, but this only focuses on characters you yourself created (unless you are the creator from that book/comic/series/etc, I'm not going to stop you in that case:p). Sorry about that!

With this, we're nearly done. A few things, though: Unless they're tagged as "my own", the OCs and situations are not mine. So, don't send anything about them directed towards me. I will not post hate or anything negative directed towards the owner themself, and avoid telling bad things to the owner on the notes for what their character did. And please, don't take this too seriously, this is just a silly little blog for silly fictional characters! I will add the corresponding trigger warnings if needed, but these characters don't exist, and real people matter more than fictional characters.

Done? Then get ready for your little guy to be judged!

🔪rogues gallery legacy challenge 🔪

i'm misleading you most of them aren't even criminals

ok!!! so i made this challenge for myself because i can't commit to any save, but i'll definitely want to play with these sims it's got autism sprinkled all over it. some of you might also like it as well so i'll share it!

this is a ten generation legacy challenge, with every generation loosely based on a different batman villain, but you don't have to be a batman fan to do it.

general rules

start with the default amount of money you get straight out of cas. no money cheats!

heirs can be any gender with any appearance. i think it'd be fun to dress them inspired by the character, but you don't have to. you probably don't want to make the actual character, honestly (what, ivy marries harley, then a few generations later there's just another harley? no)

choose your own succession laws

if you don’t have the pack for the requirement, replace it with whatever is a logical replacement. or just do something else instead, i’m not gonna come through your computer

i have provided alternate requirements when necessary for people who don’t want to play with occult sims

when stated that the sim goes to university, i recommend turning off aging until they graduate. sims without a university requirement can still attend!

if you end up doing this, please tag me in your posts 💜 or at least tell me how it's going in an ask lol

1: poison ivy 🌱

people say you’re a bit intense about the environment, but you say people are too stupid to see what’s right in front of them. the world clearly needs your help, but no one understands you. people quickly disappoint you when you get close to them. they voted against the clean energy production n.a.p.—why shouldn’t their spouse find out about that secret date you had?

leave someone at the altar.

eventually end up with your best friend who’s already in a relationship.

have 3 cowplants. if one of them dies, remove 1000 simoleons as punishment and replace it. what you do with them is your business.

2: scarecrow 👻

between moving constantly, being terrified of the man-eating plants outside your window, and your parent's reputation preceding them, you fantasize about the control you’ve lacked your whole life. you loved creating monstrosities with your chemistry set as a child, and when you finally escape your town for college, your mind leads you to dark places. you evade consequences until your scheming backfires, and you’re haunted for the rest of your life by a terrifying specter your family can’t see.

become cursed with the curse of the night wraith (you may cheat for it if you can’t get it). live 3 days with it then you can de-curse yourself, but not before adding the night wraith to your household (requires cheats). obviously you can’t stop your family from interacting with it autonomously, but never initiate an interaction yourself while playing as another family member. non-occult alternative: use a ghost instead and you can pretend it’s just a figment of your sim’s imagination.

3: riddler 🧩

with your parent who hasn’t slept in days claiming your house is cursed, you drown it out with the internet and video games. your social skills might not be up to par because of it, but you’re a genius the likes of which has never been seen before. according to you, at least. you aren’t easy to get along with, but neither is one of your exes, whose path you just can’t stop crossing. try as you might, you can’t stay away from each other for very long.

work a number of odd jobs and part-time careers while your relationship deteriorates.

break up with your partner, move out on your own, and go back to college. do not live on campus this time—continue working a part-time job while living at home. become a doctor.

5: clayface 🎭

your parent never took life very seriously, but you couldn’t be more different. not only are you fiercely competitive, you have to be liked by everyone. you’re a social chameleon who dreams of the stage. you’re only a high-maintenance, jealous, hothead—fame certainly won’t go to your head…

stats:

traits: high-maintenance, hot-headed, jealous aspiration: master actor career: actor max skills: acting, charisma

requirements:

live in del sol valley.

have a good reputation until becoming a proper celebrity, then earn a bad reputation.

marry and divorce (at least) 2 actors.

fist-fight 5 costars.

after completing the master actor aspiration, gradually lose all fame.

6: penguin ☂

there’s a lot you can say about your childhood, but you can’t say it wasn’t comfortable. with all the trust fund and nepotism you could ask for, what’s there to lose? oh. oh, wait, this trust fund isn’t bottomless, actually. uh oh. better pick up a couple side hustles to keep the lights on.

stats:

traits: snob, mean, materialistic aspiration: mansion baron career: business career (investor branch) max skills: nectar making, fishing

never work a job until young adulthood.

spend all or almost all of your inheritance immediately after moving out (have <1500 simoleons).

start selling nectar and fish on the side.

adopt or have 1 solo science baby. be enemies with all of your neighbors but have a max relationship with your child.

have 5 on-and-off woohoo partners but never a real relationship. once you reach mid-adulthood (not young adulthood), you may marry one of your woohoo partners who’s always secretly been in love with you.

7: mr. freeze 🧊

your eccentric parent doted on you, but school was miserable. at least you had one friend, your best friend. as you got older, you got shy about your developing feelings for them—little did you know, they were in love with you too. you got married and everything was perfect. and then they died. you’ll dedicate your entire life to bringing them back, no matter the cost.

stats:

traits: gloomy, perfectionist, family-oriented aspiration: soulmate career: scientist max skills: all skills associated with making ambrosia

requirements:

be disliked by at least 3 classmates as a child/teen and have only 1 friend.

become soulmates with the friend, get married, and move to mt. komorebi. when at least 1 of your children ages up into a child, your spouse dies.

you quit your job to focus solely on making ambrosia to bring your spouse back. you can rejoin the scientist career when this is complete. if you need money, start selling household items.

you become increasingly distant with your child(ren), too focused on your goal. your relationship with them suffers greatly.

you cannot have any romantic relationship with another sim ever. even if your revived spouse can’t forgive you…

8: joker 🤡

when you watch your parent sob while baking ten cakes in a row, saying it’ll bring your other parent back from the dead, the best way to cope is turning it into a stand-up routine, right? you’ve used comedy to mask the darkness in you your whole life. might as well try to profit off it. also, your vampire obsession is kind of off-putting.

stats:

traits: goofball, evil, hates children aspiration: joke star career: entertainer (comedian branch) max skills: comedy, mischief, vampire lore

requirements:

as a child, get a’s in school and be in the drama club. have a forgotten birthday when becoming a teen, the final straw. quit the drama club, become disliked/enemies with all of your friends, and become a d student.

move to san myshuno.

reach a two-star celebrity level from comedy.

never marry and have an accidental child with a fan. all children you have must be accidental. like your parent before you, you cannot connect with your children and have a difficult dynamic with all of them.

have a -100 relationship with a vampire. have a negative interaction at least once a week. non-occult alternative: make it a human goth sim. lmao.

9: two-face 🌗

despite absent parenting, you were voted most likely to succeed in high school and graduated at the top of your class. your goals are simple and attainable: become leader of the free world. but your promising political career is nipped in the bud when your entire life is ruined. disgraced, secluded, and battling two sides of yourself, you turn to other career options.

stats:

traits: self-assured, erratic, overachiever aspiration: goal oriented, public enemy career: politics (politician branch), criminal career (boss branch) max skills: charisma, research & debate

requirements:

as a child, receive a future cube as a gift from a parent. every major decision you make besides the requirements have to be made with the future cube. no takesies backsies.

make all a’s in elementary and high school and win prom royalty.

marry your teenage sweetheart straight out of high school. have only 1 child.

reach level 5 of the politics career, then your sim is turned into either a werewolf or vampire (player’s choice—or flip a coin!) against their will (you’ll have to pretend). non-occult alternative: you’re caught in a cheating scandal that ruins your career.

you’re forced to quit your job, get divorced, move to a non-city world with your child, and join the criminal career.

10: catwoman 🐈

your parent was not an easy person to live with. they may have not minded your habit of stealing from school, but you couldn’t take it anymore. you return to the city with a plan to get rich quick, but you’re no crime boss. you’re doing this on your own terms, playing for nobody’s team but your own. even if someone keeps trying to poke their nose in your family’s business.

stats:

traits: kleptomaniac, cat lover, adventurous aspiration: fabulously wealthy career: retail employee, thief max skills: rock climbing, knitting

requirements:

your non-criminal parent dies before you reach teenhood.

have a gloomy childhood friend you lose touch with in your teen years. as young adults, the friend has become a secret agent investigating your family. they are enemies with your criminal parent. you and the friend also become enemies.

you’re working as a retail employee, but where you’re really getting your money is robbery. initiate 2 romantic relationships with rich sims to rob their house.

eventually become lovers with your friend-turned-enemy.

adopt 3 stray cats.

Hi, I'm asking this question because I'm genuinely afraid. I want to post art I did/I commissioned a different artist of Pompous Pep on my blog, but I'm terrified of others attacking me. I've always liked this ship since I was kid and didn't it was considered taboo until I was older. How do you deal with hate? Would it be better to post on a side blog? My main DP AU does have Pompous Pep when Danny is in his early to mid 20s.

I answered a similar ask here, but this one also deserves its own answer. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself from hate:

✦ Turn off anonymous asks. That curbs 99.9999% of abuse, because haters are too chickenshit to send stuff that they can get reported for and possibly have their account terminated. If you do decide to open anonymous asks at some point and receive hate, you can still report it. More on blocking here.

✦ Make sure you tag your post with "pompous pep" so those who love the ship can find it and those who have the tag blocked can avoid it.

✦ As you can see, there are quite a few of us Pompep fans here on Tumblr, and it's good to be part of a community. Being able to laugh off anon hate with one another is a superb morale-booster. (If you spend any amount of time on Discord, DM me. We have a server, and you'd be very welcome there.)

Bottom line: Haters will always find a reason to hate something they don't like. You can never "perform" purely enough to please them, so don't even try. If you age up Danny and Vlad, they'll still bitch about the age gap. If you make them the same age, they'll bitch about the "toxic dynamic" of Enemies to Lovers. If you make an AU where they've always been friends and are the exact same age, they'll still accuse you of Shipping Crimes™ because it's still the same characters—even if all the obstacles that made the ship problematic have been removed. All you'll do is wear yourself out trying to conform to their standards, so just say "fuck em" and do what you want.

Me, personally, I've been in fandom too long to be bothered by anon hate. I report them, block them, and delete the message, and I don't waste any more energy than necessary. I also follow the golden rule of Don't Feed the Trolls. Haters thrive on attention, and if they get no response from you, they'll eventually give up their attack and move on.

I'm sorry that the actions of an idiotic, vocal minority have made you afraid to participate in fandom activities. No one should ever feel that way. Just remember that you're not alone. Almost all of us Pompep fans have dealt with negativity at some point in our lives, but that hasn't stopped us at all. We're still here, and we'll always be here.

✦ As for sideblogs, they're great if you want to keep certain stuff separate from your main blog, but it's totally up to you. Just keep in mind, if you want to block anyone from seeing your sideblog, it must be done from the Blog Settings of that particular sideblog. More on sideblogs here.

I hope this post answered your questions and eased some of your fears. If you have any further comments or questions, you know how to reach me :)

[ask-the-6-souls]

Welcome to Ask the 6 Souls!

Read from the beginning here!

This is an Undertale askblog for the 6 humans the monsters had collected- the ones who fell down before the events of the canon game. There will be spoilers for both Undertale and Undertale Yellow, so if you haven't experienced either game to completion at least once, go do that first!

Content warnings: - Talk of child murder, may or may not be visualized (but not gratuitously or for the hell of it. Will not be overly bloody/gory.) - Potential discussion of genocide - Talk of death, murder - Racism (directed at monsters, not other humans)

I'll add more as I think of it or as it becomes relevant

There's also a Discord server now! Not exclusively for this AU, though- it's a general Undertale/Deltarune/UTMV server! Come say hi!

Join the 6 Souls Vault!

More info about the AU, including ask rules, under the cut. Thanks for stopping by!

Our Main 6 Characters

The Yellow Soul 🤠 - The soul of Justice! - It's Clover! They've just arrived! - Based on the True Pacifist run from UTY - Character tag: #chr sharpshooter

The Green Soul 🍳 - The soul of Kindness! - They have forgotten their name - One of the oldest in the group - Character tag: #chr frying pan

The Purple Soul 📓 - The soul of Perseverance! - They have forgotten their name - One of the youngest in the group - Knew a horse named Hayden...? - Character tag: #chr notebook

The Blue Soul 🩰 - The soul of Integrity! - [REDACTED] - Holds a very negative opinion of monsterkind - Character tag: #chr tutu

The Orange Soul 🥊 - The soul of Bravery! - They have forgotten their name - They came to the Underground on purpose...? - Character tag: #chr tough glove

The Cyan Soul 🎀 - The soul of Patience! - Name: Ivory! - Has been here the longest - Character tag: #chr ribbon

Ask Rules

Anyone can ask the kids anything! Just keep it child-appropriate, these are kids, after all. - No NSFW - Keep it in-universe - No fortune telling ("flowey is going to use you to attack another human one day", ect) - You MAY hint at stuff, just be subtle about it fghsdjk - You MAY use OCs, but your OC may NOT visit the souls in-person. Imagine it like telepathy. No one knows where the kids are aside from two people, not even the kids - Please do not roleplay as an established Undertale/Yellow character - KEEP YOUR BIGOTRY AT HOME. Transphobia, homophobia, racism, ableism, anti-religion/atheism, antisemitism, ect. will NOT be tolerated and will result in an immediate block. - The only "exception" is FICTIONAL racism, that being humans/monsters. Seeing as this is something Integrity grapples with, you are allowed to ask them about that. - (and in case it needs to be said, FREE PALESTINE!)

I'll add more as I think of it fsdhgjk

If I do not answer your ask, don't worry! I may just be holding onto it for later! There may also have been repeat questions, in which case I'll pick and chose which one I answer. And, if I wind up just not answering, you can always send another. No shame, no worries!

This blog is run by @dimonds456 if you wanna come bother me for stuff, I guess, lol.

I think that's it! Enjoy the story!

1. Hi! I'm wondering if there's a fic like this?

(cql) fight where lwj lunges with his sword, and wwx doesn’t move, not thinking lwj would actually hurt, but lwj accidentally hurts him? @karinasnowwwx

Regrets by antebunny (G, 38k, wangxian, miscommunication, misundersandings, time travel fix-it, temporary character death, angst w/ happy ending, fluff, hurt/comfort)

Give Me What I Want by Jo Lasalle (Jo_Lasalle) (E, 60k, WangXian, Bad Guys Made Them Do It, Canon Divergence, Episode Related, Angst with a Happy Ending, Burial Mounds, fuck or die aftermath, Angst) the third fic in the series "Give what you like" has a scene like this

~*~

2. hi!! i'd like to request fics that are similar to rather cruelly used and rather reserved by x_los.

i saw someone mention that they'd like specifics for these types of asks; i don't have something in particular in mind (i'd love to get any recs at all!), but some examples could be: this type of back-and-forth conversational humor; the sort of poetic way the prose is written; wwx grieving a-yuan before finding out he's alive; and/or how the confession/relationship is portrayed.

i especially liked the lines where wwx asks if lwj knew wwx loved him and lwj responds "sometimes, i knew," so fics where lwj or wwx sort of. suspect each other likes them/they sort of fall together naturally are also super welcome!

i know this is a lot but i tried to be as helpful as possible. no rec has to accomplish all of these, i just really liked that fic lol @kisskissgotohell

3. so I've seen a lot of fics with variations of 'Xiao xingchen and song Lan join and/or ally with (while still being rogues) the YilingWei sect'. But what about fics where wwx ends up joining the sect Xiao xingchen and song Lan had planned to found? (And not in a 'wwx raised by another sect' type way, but like a diverging au).

~*~

4. ITMF canonverse fics where Wangxian have to deal with prejudice over their relationship. Hey, I love a good everyone-is-super-supportive-except-for-YZY fic because they deserve it. But MZY's treatment alone makes it clear that homosexuality is looked down on & the lack of any pushback can get boring. I don't want anything that stops them getting together, but I want to read something where they have to deal with negative reactions, whether it's sneers & gossip or having to leave their sects @thispatternismine

ID Bro Saga Series by Bowandtie (T, 39k, WangXian, Modern AU, dating app, Liberal use of emoji, 3zuns as bad friends forever, Slow Burn, super slow it's practically sous vide, Crack) Please read first!: Hey mods I suggested a fic (ID bro series) for no 6 for recent IMTF , I read this series a long time ago and was revisiting it and I found it had some (not much ) humor that is insensitive (like chapter 3 has a joke about Auschwitz). The author is clearly not a native english speaker and might be unaware, though they didn’t correct it though a comment kindly suggested it. I wanted to apologise, I must have overlooked. I don’t want to promote anything that is insensitive or might hurt anyone.

8. #itmf a fic similar to "after all i drifted ashore" by lingering_song, as in wwx does exactly what the cultivation world wants: give up the yin hufu and dissappear with his wen army and heretic powers; when the jins become the next wen sect, reign over all the others just as he said, and they come asking for help once again. i sincerely would prefer if wwx isnt forgiving to the ones that hunted him down after he down and betrayed him buy trying to lead a siege against him.

Alright so Lesslie saw my post

This is more of a letter to Lesslie since I can’t personally contact her because she blocked me but I need to get things out of the way. Lesslie, stop pushing it

All you have ever talked about in this app is your hatred for Nuzi and Uzi, this is the entire reason as to why this fandom doesn’t like you. Yes we are hating on you because of a fictional ship and of a fictional character BUT you as well haven’t exactly been the good guy in this either, you get aggressive with those that don’t agree with you (both sides are bad on this but there were some people genuinely trying to be nice and explain), you constantly bash Nuzi shippers and Uzi likers for not taking an opinion when you yourself can’t take one either, obviously everyone is going to be pissed when every single post of yours is just hating on Nuzi and Uzi with not very good reasons, all of the reasons you hate them for have been old and already used + easily debunked, you clearly didn’t watch the show with your two eyes and even hate the show (obviously the show isn’t immune to criticism but you’re just like Vanitymoth, finding a way to make everything negative)

(There was more but have this very aesthetic collage I made in google slides)

Remember that this all started because of you bringing out your opinion on why Nuzi sucks, but all of your reasoning was just mischaracterising and also just outright wrong, same with Uzi as well, she’s not a pick me, pick me’s constantly bring other women down for male validation, something I didn’t see Uzi doing throughout the series and yes, while her having Autism, ADHD, BPD, etc is just a headcanon, she’s the embodiment of kids that grew up with limited internet access and grew up to be “cringe” (which is mostly Neurodivergent kids). This all started because people wanted to educate you on why your reasons didn’t make sense but instead you got aggressive which is why now everyone has gotten aggressive to you

(This photo is going to be in its 1 year anniversary in 8 days how sweet is that)

I don’t condone death threats in any way, especially over fictional characters and ships, it’s just silly but you keep on pushing it, no one likes you in this fandom because you will just never learn on when to stop, a simple “I don’t like Nuzi or Uzi” would’ve just been ok but you kept on letting everyone know just how much you hate Nuzi like as if we didn’t know already, making art of Uzi getting cucked, calling Uzi a femcel or even tagging Nuzi on your posts about hating it is obviously going to get you pitchforks

I get it, I’ve said stupid shit in the past too, from a year to months and weeks but word of advice, just leave this fandom. It’s clear all of this is taking a mental toll on you and I don’t wish that on you nor do I wish death on you, especially over fictional crap but even after this you might not learn and continue to leave everyone pissed off at the day. Please take a break or be in a better fandom that you’ll actually like, cause the Murder Drones fandom isn’t for you

This stupid drama should have been over since the very beginning but it’s not and the only way for it to stop is if you just left or just took a break, at the end of the day, it’s all on what you do

[neonscandal]

Hello, I'm new to the jujutsu fandom, I've already watched season 1 of the movie and I'm in season 2 of jujutsu, I also follow the jujutsu manga, I liked your tumblr and started following you, I like your analyzes and you make me understand more jujutsu, thank you. I have a question, don't you think Sukuna is a boring villain, sorry, but he's too annoying, even Mahito is more interesting than him and it's impressive that Mahito gave more weight to the work than Sukuna, Sukuna killed Gojo and his death It had no significance in the work, it's something terrible, I think the author got lost.

Anon(s), please still try to be mindful of spoilerssss, even if, mid sentence, you just throw one up so other readers know. I'd appreciate it since, even though I'm not a spoiler free blog, I at least tag. I am no stranger to falling behind and trying to avoid leaks and spoilers, myself and my IRL friends are anime onlys to some of the things I obsess about. All that to say: I'm glad you're here (both in the fandom and in my inbox)! Bear in mind, these are very much just the impassioned rants of a silly little person on the internet so who knows.

One thing that I've realized about JJK villains, especially in most recent chapters, is they're never quite who we assume at face value. In this battle between humans and the negative human emotions that spawn curses... each of the villains has a really striking human quality to them whether we understand it or not. In fact, it makes their whole mission of toppling the current paradigm that much more interesting when you consider their origin. I think it was Jogo who said curses were more human than humans which... when you look at the root cause of Geto's defection... he might be onto something.

To that end, Mahito wasn't really lying when he told Yuji that they were one in the same. Humans and curses are two sides of the same coin.

⚠️ Spoiler warning for chapter 248 of JJK.

If you haven't read the light novels, you'd be interested to find that in a chapter I don't overanalyze, there's a story focused around Mahito. It appears in Jujutsu Kaisen Summer of Ashes, Autumn of Dust.

In the chapter, our typical chaos gremlin who is quick to torture first and question never stumbles upon a vagrant. He finds, in the company of a man who has not and wants not, that he exists harmoniously and curiously. In his soul, he sees an unflappable peace that is not evident in other humans and behaves accordingly around him. Day after day, he causes no harm. They even converse, reasonably and academically to an extent. Uh - Mahito is like an avid reader, by the way. While you can argue this is outside of the realm of what's canon, think of Jogo's affinity to mourn Hanami. Hoping to meet Dagon in the wasteland of souls beyond. Very human hopes which are even echoed by Mahito in canon when Haruta the curse user was sneakily going to kill Hanami. Mahito stopped him with intention because even curses have camaraderie which the humans they consort with apparently lack.

Kenjaku is another villain where, even in his twisted delights and subsequent plans for the future, safely delivers Sasaki outside of the realm of the Culling Games and thanks her for befriending his son... What? This appreciation is so humble and endearing but, of course it is, it is that of a mother. Something he decisively lacks with Choso and the cursed womb paintings but still. It goes against the grain of the rest of his character, you know?

Toji, the man who can't be bothered to remember the name of the kid he sold back to the hell hole he grew up in and yet thinks of him as he breathes his last breaths. When his body was reanimated in Shibuya and was hardwired to find and fight the strongest... that recognition on his face when he realized who he was fighting? The animation did a beautiful job of clearing the black of his eyes, softening his gaze toward Megumi. Knowing that it was Megumi Fushiguro and not Zenin he took himself out, happily. Doesn't really ring true of how a lot of fans interpret him as a character.

Now, we have Sukuna. I agree, he seems to be somewhat flat in characterization so far but.. so was everyone else until we got the effective cowlick that indicated their complexity. Now, 248 chapters in, we're seeing the chip in his facade.

Gojo is no stranger to dying though he is extremely unused to comparison. He's the Strongest Sorcerer of the Modern Era, after all. But I wonder if it makes sense to call Sukuna his foil. Imagine Gojo's unchecked ego had he never met Geto. I imagine a life of isolation carrying the burden of one's own grace and strength would absolutely turn out similar to Sukuna's wherein there is no need for purpose beyond one's own whims.

Subsequently, Gojo dying at Sukuna's hands and earning his respect was the first real human connection we see Sukuna receive positively (he gave Jogo a pretty sweet send off, too). It was done with intention, even Gojo hoped to communicate with his tempered body the fact that he too knew that isolation. In universe, it seems to be a form of love (search for "Of Love and Strength" on this post), this understanding. This lapse in Sukuna's indifference is furthered in facing off against fan favorite lawyer Hiromi Higurama.

Following Gojo's demise, Gege has been comparing a lot of characters to the vacuum of power left in his wake. Yuta, I get, but Higurama is an absolute wild card. However, Sukuna sees something in him that he not only respects in this comparison to Gojo... but also stymies him. Especially as he meaningfully comes to terms with his dismissal and abhorrence of Yuji.

What we're seeing is the blossom of his character playing out amidst an all or nothing fight. Stay strapped in, anon!

[ask-the-silly-critters]

Welcome to the Silly Critters Blog!

[A place where you can ask the side character in the cartoon show of the Smiling Critters! But please do reminded that this is just my silly oc's and not canon in the PPT!]

"What if the Smiling Critters have a side character? I mean, it is possible that there would be other critters in the small town or what we calls it, Crittersville. I'm sure the others are thrilled to chat with all of you!"

☆ What is the Silly Critters? The Silly Critters is just a title for the side character of the Smiling Critters that i happily created for my own entertainment and joy. It is not quite a creative title for them but i love it anyway!

☆ What would be in the blog? You can ask any kind of questions for them or use your own oc's to interact with them! Pretty much anything! You would also see that some of the reply going to be my art, hehe–

Welcome, Welcome! To the blog of Silly Critters or the side character of the Smiling Critters Show that i happily created for my joy and entertainment! In this blog, you can ask or roleplay any character that will be shown in this blog, you might even lucky to have an art reply from one of them haha!

But before we introduced our dear side characters, Let's go for the rules and lil info of the replies, should we?~

The Rules

Please do not send an overly NSFW (lusty) ask, a light joke about it is fine but please remember that i wanted this blog to be family friendly and not only that, pretty sure it would be uncomfortable of an NSFW in a cartoon show or cartoon version–

Do not spam my inbox, please! I want all of you to be patience with the reply as i have a life on my own outside internet, i am not a robot that always needed to 'satisfy' you.

If i suddenly got uninterested with the roleplay, please respect it and don't force me to roleplay it, if i say stop and don't want to continue then please respect it.

Anon Magic is allowed but don't be too crazy.

You cannot kill them but you can harm them a little, just don't kill them.

No OP character, please– this isn't anime or some crap like that.

Don't be a hater or rude people here, be friendly!

He is 26 years old and probably the youngest.

• CottonFluff and DaisyBloom

Next is the pink cousins, CottonFluff and DaisyBloom! These two are the opposite of eachother but even though CottonFluff is a flying squirrel and DaisyBloom is a skunk, they both love and care eachother dearly. CottonFluff is very sassy, blunt and know how to gossips but DaisyBloom is a sweetheart and a hopeless romantic. DaisyBloom is also owned a flower shop! Know a lot of the meaning of each flowers~

CottonFluff is 29 years old while DaisyBloom is 27 years old

• Spooky HauntSoul

And lastly, our own mischief little ghost, Spooky HauntSoul! A ghost looking-bear that loves to causes mischief or chaos in her way and also owning and living in a creepy train that can be used for her to travels in other universes, so do not be surprised of Spooky visiting your blog, haha! Spooky would sometime appear at night time, fall season or in halloween day! Her age would be unknown but she would be the oldest if she was alive!

Read on AO3 here:

Summary: In a world where loyalty is currency and compromise is weakness, Gavin Reed, a ruthless mobster, lives by his own rules. When an old enemy resurfaces with a deadly demand, his life is thrown into chaos—as his trusted second-in-command, Nines, is put to the ultimate test of allegiance. Will he stay committed to Gavin, or will the loyal guard dog begin to stray? (Human Mob!AU)

Gavin Reed didn't 'do' compromise.

He took everything he wanted from life as he wanted it, doing so on his terms. There was no room for accommodations or deals, as he was the one calling the shots. Anyone stupid enough to question this would find themselves on the business end of a pistol, and that was only if he was feeling generous. For the rest, he would do everything in his power to make them wish they were dead. There were no exceptions to this rule under any circumstances—

"—Stay still, stop moving your hips."

Well. Except for one, of course.

Nolan Anderson had been fiercely loyal to his father, with this commitment extending to his offspring. In another life, he had probably been a Dobermann: Tall and built, the sort of man who could crush a skull with his bare hands if he wanted to. He was imposing and vicious, but at the same time obedient—working in servitude to his master, always understanding his place. 

The perfect guard dog or a ruthless killing machine, depending on how you wanted to look at it. His dad, who had been an IT consultant before establishing the family, always preferred the latter comparison.

The old man had pointed to Nolan's efficiency in completing any task assigned to him, regardless of how implausible or impractical, to an almost inhuman degree of perfection. He was a flawlessly optimised system, with a performance uptime and availability that was damn near endless. 'Nines' all across the board, so that's what he started calling him—

"—Holy fucking shit ." 

He was also a really good lay, which was definitely a bonus. 

Nines angled upright, striking a point deep inside him. Working the sensitive nerves, he rocked in bruising motions against his hips. He was a man who never missed, just as perceptive in the bedroom as anywhere else. Knowing exactly what his partner needed and just how to give it to them. 

" Fuck. Just like that, keep going—" The plea was undercut by a harsh slap across the face, propelling him back into the covers.

"I didn't say you could speak," Nines scolded, tutting under his breath.

Gavin groaned—a sound which transitioned quite neatly into a salacious chuckle. He reeled from the force of the strike, skin prickling long after its impact. The weight of Nines' hand had etched itself into him, formed in a burning imprint. As its sting began to wane, it was replaced by a dull ache radiating the length of his jaw. 

It was the only time he was prepared to relinquish control when they were like this—and damn, it felt fucking  incredible. Nines was far from stupid. He understood that the shift in power started and ended beneath the sheets, and he had never once sought to challenge this.

There were plenty of people who would take advantage of their current position, but he wasn't one of them. He knew Gavin trusted him and wasn't about to take that lightly. It made him a valuable confidante—the closest thing to a friend the mobster cared to have—and the obvious choice for second in command. 

"You like that, don't you?"

"I thought I wasn't supposed to speak," Gavin challenged, a mischievous grin plastered on his reddened face. "Make up your mind, dipshit."

Nines grunted in disapproval before burrowing his face against the crook of his pulsing neck. He began sucking one of the many bruises already dotting the sweat-soaked canvas. It was tender at first, almost affectionate, but Gavin knew better. 

He bit down on the mark, sinking in his teeth with such ferocity he almost breached the skin. As he did so, he grabbed a fistful of his lover's tousled hair, winding it around his fingers and harshly wrenching back.

"You will speak when you are spoken to." He took advantage of the additional leverage, covering more of the abused flesh. "Tell me what you want and how much you want it. Do as you're told, and I might indulge you. Continue to misbehave, and I'll stop entirely."

The warning succeeded in dragging Gavin from his moment of blissful abandon. He looked up, levelling his partner with an accusatory glare. "You wouldn't dare."

"Do you want to risk that?" The purring voice was drizzled like honey as Nines reached between his legs, capturing his aching arousal in a tightened grip. "I could leave you right now if I wanted to. Bound to the bed. Hard and wanting, with no hope of relief..."

Then, he squeezed—hard—almost twisting as he did so.

"You sadistic piece of shit." Gavin reeled back, hissing through gritted teeth as charges of lightning-like pain pulsed through his hardness. "Okay, fine. I love it when you treat me like this. Tie me up, smack me, pull my hair. It drives me fucking insane."

"Keep talking." Nines continued to hold him, his grip excruciating and growing tighter with every passing second. "Being fucked is a reward, and you haven't earned it yet. I won't continue until you have given me precisely what I've asked for." 

Goddammit.  He was almost crying now, tears pricking at his eyes and marbling in the corners. Pulling against the restraints anchoring him to the bed frame, the ropes tore away at his wrists, leaving angry burns. It was torture, but the best possible kind. 

The firm digits continued to constrict him, cutting off any blood flow, and he was in absolute ecstasy. "I want you to ruin me. Mess me up so bad that I can't remember my own fucking name. Please, Nines. I need it. Need  you ."  

His partner hummed, appearing satisfied, before slowly relinquishing his hold on the hardness. "See how easy that was? If only you could always be this obedient." 

Nines eyed him greedily, his focus trained on the junction between his quivering thighs. He wedged a knee between the gap, and forced them firmly apart. "Now, spread your legs so I can give you what you need. I think you've earned it."

"Damn right, I have." Gavin arched his hips as far as his tightly bound restraints would allow. "Now stop talking. I want you to fuck me like you hate me." 

Nines did just that, not wasting any time on care or consideration. He pulled back slowly, methodically, before abruptly thrusting forward, breaching the warmth with brutal force. The shorter man's body constricted eagerly around the intrusion, gripping it like a vice. 

"Oh, fuck  yes —" He flung his head back, toes curling into the duvet as he let out a series of wanton groans. " Faster. Come on. Don't be a pussy." 

The taller man gripped onto his hips, anchoring himself in position before inspiration flickered within his steely gaze. Calloused hands slipped away, finding themselves behind Gavin's knees. Then he pulled up, hooking the legs over his shoulders. 

With the additional access, Nines claimed every inch his generous reach would allow—pounding into him in long, rampant spears. The pace quickened to such an extent that it rattled the wire foundation of the bed, as the headboard smacked repeatedly against the wall. 

" Yes, yes, yes, yes." Gavin could feel his arousal rub against the taut muscles of the other man's abdomen and pushed himself further into it, desperately chasing relief. A heat bubbled in his stomach as his cock pulsed persistently in response to the friction. "I'm so fucking close."

There was a knock on the door, loud enough to break through the chorus of sordid moans. Both men fell silent as Nines' pace began to slow, and their attention drifted towards the source of the unexpected intrusion.

"... Don't you dare stop," Gavin demanded as the pace drew dangerously close to stilling. "Fuck 'em, they can wait." 

Nines dutifully complied with his wishes, continuing to drive into him. They tried their best to drown out the steady raps against the wooden panel until they became increasingly difficult to ignore, a gruff voice accompanying them:

"... Uhhh, boss? Hello? You in there?"

The wavered address promptly doused any lingering embers of arousal. His hardness had softened, flopping limply onto the folds of his doubled-up stomach. 

Oh, you fucking  asshole . 

With a loud grunt of aggravation, he bucked his hips, signalling for Nines to get up. "Okay,  okay!  Just give me a damn minute…"

Motioning with his head, he directed his charge to release the binds. As the first of his wrists came loose, he pulled the rumpled sheets over his lap and gruffly readdressed the figure:

"Get in," he ordered, his scathing tone informing them to do so immediately before he changed his mind. 

The passage to the bedroom swung open, and Gavin observed with revulsion as Floyd came into view. A lumbering, snub-nosed brick of a man his father had hired onto the operation for reasons best known to himself. 

His bulbous eyes swelled to comedic proportions as he caught sight of a still very exposed Nines standing by the bedside, removing the final tether. Upon completing the task, he regarded Floyd with a calm nod—before reaching down to the floor to retrieve his dress shirt.

The large man emitted a yelp as if the shapely contours of Nines' ass were the last thing he'd ever wanted to see. A meaty hand was flung to his temple as he spluttered out a clumsy apology. "Ahh, shit, I, uh…sorry for interruptin'..."

Gavin wasn't entirely sure what the Neanderthal had expected; it wasn't like the arrangement with Nines was a recent development. They'd been screwing for years, having started on the night of his twenty-seventh birthday when the taller man presented himself as an unexpected gift. 

It soon developed into a habit, one they initially tried to keep secret, though he suspected Dad's more perceptive cronies had early suspicions. The old man himself remained blissfully unaware, a fact for which he was grateful. If the knife to the throat hadn't killed him, finding out about his son's clandestine activities probably would've. 

After he was gone, there wasn't really the same incentive to hide. It wasn't long until it was common knowledge amongst allies and adversaries alike. They all knew better than to say anything, though—unless they wanted to wake up in a nice pair of cement shoes.

"What the hell do you want?" Gavin spat the words with disdain as he leaned towards the nightstand, searching for his cigarettes.

Floyd lowered his hand once he was certain Nines' modesty had been restored. With the obstruction gone, he cleared his throat before explaining himself. "We've had a package come through in the mail. Unmarked, but we're pretty sure we know who it's from…you might wanna see it." 

"What kind of package?" He removed a smoke from the box, slotting it between his lips. Snagging a nearby lighter, he flicked it open and ignited a flame beneath the tightly wadded tobacco. "You tell me that, and I'll tell  you  if I wanna see it or not." 

"It's—uh—well—" 

The hefty man paused, his lips pinched so tight it looked like he was sucking on a lemon. His eyes darted towards Nines as his perpetually reddened face turned a sickly shade of grey. "Just trust me on this."

Gavin took a drag, staring him down the entire time. He then tilted his head back, exhaling sharply and sending wisps of smoke billowing into the air. The ashy trails were soon disrupted, waning to the force of a long, aggrieved sigh. "Well, seeing as you fuckheads don't know how to use your words, I guess I'll  have  to check it out, won't I?" 

Without warning, he ripped away the sheets, revealing his naked body in all its glory. Floyd hurriedly swivelled away, staring down the opposing corridor as though it led to the gates of Heaven. It was the fastest Gavin had ever seen the hulking mass of flab move, having clearly had his fill of gratuitous nudity for one evening. 

As Nines finished dressing, zipping up the front of his charcoal suit pants, Gavin manoeuvred past him to reach for a nearby bathrobe. After slipping it on, he trudged his way out of the bedroom with his second-in-command trailing closely behind. 

They discovered the rest of the gang sitting in the meeting room, huddled around a small card table. The air around them was thick, heavy with tension, as they all looked noticeably uneasy. 

Their leader was quick to scrutinise, his eyes sweeping across the group, narrowed in accusation. "So, what is it that's so damn important it couldn't wait until morning?"

"Salvatore," one of the men, Vincenzo, chimed up. Of the ragtag group of idiots he had inherited from his father, he was among the few worth the oxygen they breathed. His lips were pulled into a prominent grimace as he folded his arms across his chest.

A swell of bile steadily rose in the back of Gavin's throat as a resentful pit formed in his stomach. Salvatore DeLuca had been one of his dad's closest associates—until he'd turned out to be a lying, double-crossing snake. In charge of handling finances, he'd been skimming profits off their operations for months, cutting and running before he got caught. 

The bastard was lucky Dad croaked when he did, or else he'd be lying six feet under, maggots crawling out of his ass. "The fuck does  he  want?"

Gavin did not receive an answer as the silence in the room grew increasingly disconcerting. His attention shifted to the table, where he noticed a letter lying face down in the centre. Next to it, there was a small parcel wrapped in brown butcher paper, secured with a length of string. 

He stubbed out his cigarette, leaving a prominent scorch mark on the weathered plastic, before flipping over the note:

Son of a bitch. 

His lips twisted into a snarl as his hands tightened around the note, crumpling it into a ball. "I bet he thinks he's so clever. The slimy motherfucker."

"We wanted to wait for you before we opened...well…that." Vincenzo gestured to the unidentified item, a tense knot formed in the crease of his brow. He then paused as his sunken eyes scoped the densely packed room. "We've called around to the rest of the family… there's only one person unaccounted for."

Nines perked up, brow quirked in intrigue before his focused gaze charted a course through the downcast faces. As he searched, his naturally stern features shifted into something more perturbed. Several men averted their sights, refusing to look at him.

Gavin moved to inspect the parcel. He tested its weight in his palm before removing the fastenings, allowing the string to slink to the ground in a coiled pile. The wrapping was next, and as he unfurled the layers of crumpled paper, a glint caught against something polished reflected from the dangling bulb overhead. Holding the object closer to the light, the mobster discovered it was a small black flash drive.

A developing curiosity gripped him, mingled with trepidation. Life came with very few certainties, but if there was one, it was that receiving an unmarked USB with a threatening note couldn't mean anything good.

He turned around, motioning for one of his lackeys to reach beneath the coach they were sitting on. Upon doing so, the man pulled out a laptop—a beaten-up relic from the 2020s with a cracked screen and broken hinge on the left-hand side. Still, he hoped it would serve its purpose. 

Settling down in a nearby chair, Gavin booted it up, ensuring his antivirus was active. He wouldn't have put it past DeLuca to load up the drive with a shit ton of malware. His intrigue grew significantly as a notification popped up, prompting him to open the files on the newly installed device.

There was a single item contained within—an unnamed .MP4 with a blacked-out thumbnail—looming ominously in an otherwise empty window. The man surrounding him leaned forward, arching over his shoulder in order to get a better look. 

He imagined many of them would come to regret this, as without further delay, he clicked on the video:

The scene opened to what appeared to be a dimly lit warehouse filled with towering shelves and wooden crates. In the centre of the room, just barely visible through the grainy footage, a figure sat bound to a chair. Cable ties had been used to bind them, and a burlap sack covered their head.

Initially, there was no movement, with the person appearing either unconscious or dead—but through the continuous haze of visual noise, Gavin was able to detect a few rogue twitches of life. 

Suddenly, a light flickered on, flooding the screen with a harsh white glow before softening into something more tolerable. A burly man, with features obscured by a black ski mask, strode into the frame, clutching a rusted box cutter. 

Approaching the restrained figure, he poised the blade at the brim of the sack, dragging it along the edge. It was then that Gavin noticed the tie around the victim's neck, which the blade had slipped under and was currently whittling away. The masked man sliced the plastic, revealing a shock of dishevelled brown hair as he ripped the sack from the captive's head. Wide eyes stared up at him, brimming with fear. 

0:34 ─●──────── -3:43

Upon the hostage's reveal, he heard a small hitch of breath from the man standing beside him. Nines had grown noticeably tense; his jaw locked tight as he moved his head in slow, repetitive shakes. His grey eyes were vacant and staring, lost in deepening pools of denial.

Gavin studied him, both surprised and disappointed to see his composure shattered so easily, before returning his attention to the screen:

0:42 ──●──────── -3:35

The captive's mouth had been tightly bound with strips of duct tape, muffling any screams that attempted to emerge. He had been beaten at least once, with his jaw blotched in fresh bruises and a crust of dried blood caked to his cheek. 

His captor retracted the blade a second time, moving the switch up slowly in apparent sadistic delight. The brunette struggled against their binds, gangly form sprawling and flailing as much as it possibly could. He looked like a rodent stuck in a glue trap, desperately trying to escape. 

In response to this, the masked man socked him cleanly across the face. He howled against the tape, writhing in agony, to which the hostage took hold of his scalp and firmly yanked back, presenting the full breadth of his neck to the camera.

With the knife, a small line was teased across the pale skin—not hard enough to cause any real damage, but just sufficient to draw a tiny sliver of ruby droplets. The prisoner's features contorted fearfully, and their entire body seized up, trying to keep still. 

0:59 ───●─────── -3:18

Several of Gavin's men turned away, unable to watch any longer. Their boss silently chided their weakness, regarding them as spineless cowards. 

A few stragglers remained, frozen in petrified silence as they continued to watch the video. The only sounds left in the room came in the form of muffled howls from the laptop speakers. Then a whispered voice broke through, laden with ill-suppressed emotion and punctuated by shaky breaths:

"Connor."
