I just love when someone is misusing and misexplaining psychology and neurodivergent terminology because they’ve learnt it off of TikTok and I have to sit there like I wasn’t raised by a psychotherapist who specialises in traumatised and neurodivergent children
#like this one time someone was completely misexplaining DID in an attempt at calling someone a faker#and honestly being quite ableist as well#and they were saying things that were completely untrue#but thing is my mum had talked to me about DID before when practicing one of her lectures#and I had read a couple books on it for funsies#so I sent the person an ask like ‘hey you probably didn’t realise but when you said xyz it was actually wrong and it’s actual lmnop’#and they ignored me lmao#also people irl in random classes that I don’t know very well#Cyberr speaks#psychology#neurodivergence#neurodiversity#neurodivergent#autistic#adhd#audhd

Do you have a family tree for DOTC and the ancient tribes around the lake with Hollyleaf/Fallenleaf?
I don't yet. When I finish up my re-read, I'm going to gather ALL of the DOTC cats and start dividing them up into the three cultural groups. After getting them all in bundles, I'm going to whip them up into proper family trees.
If you're asking about canon's family tree... I can make it if you'd like, but I'd just be showing you the ticking timebomb of genetic diversity they set up for themselves. It's all Quiet Rainkin and random forest cats, most introduced after book 3. None of the other settlers had grandchildren and the living children have no mates.
Sun Shadow died.
Lightning Tail died and Acorn Fur was forced into a vow of chastity
None of Turtle Tail's kits have kits; one is in a vow of chastity
There's nothing to "preserve" about the canon tree, unfortunately. It's not really a "tree," it's more like a couple of bubbles with a ton of dead women floating around outside.
For funsies, let me try and remember all the "bubbles" off the top of my head, plus when the characters were introduced
Ravenstar x Juniper Branch (Book 6)
Milkweed x Leaf (Book 5, Book 2, plus existing kits with an unknown mate)
Misty (Book 2; kits have no kits.)
Shadowkin: Tall, Moon, Sun (1, 1, 5, extinct)
Jackdaw's Cry x Hawk Swoop (extinct)
Turtle Tail x Tom the Wifebeater (endangered)
Riverstar x Finch Song (Book 1, super edition)
Wind Runner x Gorse Fur (Moth Flight and Dust Muzzle are born in book 3)
Willow Tail (introduced with a sibling in book 4; extinct)
Shaded Moss was the father of Rainswept Flower (extinct)
Fox and Petal were siblings (Petal raised Misty's children)
I forgot the name of Drizzle's mom and sibling (book 6)
I think there's also a cat called Apple Bottom Jeans or something in Thunderstar's Echo who has a litter, but I can't remember her mate without google. There were also some litters born in Riverstar's Home I can't remember. I barely remember the side books, were there any others born in Shadowstar's Life...?
Here's all the pairings in the Quiet Rainkin family, as contrast;
Quiet Rain x Unknown (4 kits)
Clear Sky x Bright Stream (Died pregnant; gave birth to 2 dead angel fetus children in heaven)
Clear Sky x Storm (Thunder was the only survivor of 3)
Clear Sky x Star Flower (two litters; the first was 3 iirc, the second unknown)
Jagged Peak x Holly (3 kits)
Gray Wing x Slate (3 kits iirc)
Thunder x Violet Dawn (4 kits)
So... bottom line is, something like 50% of births were coming out of the Quiet Rainkin family, and they account for something like 30% of cats with existing family at all.
Personally, I think that's awful in a prequel arc that's supposed to be about ancestors. So I'm going to be making whole families for BB.
#bone babble#Re: this is all from memory#Did I miss any?#Also this is a large reason i think theyre just bad at handling family trees.#It was a completely clean slate and they are still barelling towards a pretzel in a couple generations#Unless they continue to summon fresh bodies from the bushes#MY excuse is that I don't work with OCs and have to handle the small population sizes.#I work with limits theyve set and even I can still think more carefully about family trees#They do not care at all about them or consider them outside of superficial references#And I dislike that. The whole draw of the series imo is following them through their lives and subsequent generations#But hey. My kitchen my spices.#If BB ever had its serial numbers sanded off I'd keep the BB!DOTC families into the modern era too lmaoo#But that's neither here nor there

Out of curiosity, what does the psychic cat fam exactly do out there? (This doesn’t have to be exclusive to just now, also could have been just Meau, Noe, and Mew) Aside from vibing. They live in a paradise where food isn’t a concern and nothing with a brain would try to hurt them. Do they play fight? Teach the youngin’s their future jobs? Have games? Maybe some swipped books to read? Explore the world outside of their tree for funsies? See who can steal as many goodies from human society without getting caught?
I know it’s silly but I like the “filler” of things. To think about what characters are doing when the “plot” isn’t being progressed. It’s part of why I like the slice-of-life genre from time to time. Life isn’t always an adventure or fight against some opposing force, but it can still be fun!
I agree, I’m honestly a bit upset with myself, given how long each update takes I never noticed I wasn’t adding in enough filler. Something I plan to fix once we’re in Noe’s arc, as we are sadly, or luckily? Way too close to beginning it to shove any sudden filler in. For now I’m blaming it on first time story telling and having to do art school on the side X3
As for the gang, Meau did fly a little bit off the handle due to not having a lot of stimulation when she was younger before Noe showed up. As for what they did/do, for reasons that’ll become clear later; they mostly talked in the early days!
She would show off her creations, abilities, transformations, and forming ecosystems to him. He would ask about as many questions as one would with a new world and she thrived off it. They would watch other Pokémon’s life in secret like it was a soap opera, sometimes intervening to make it more interesting or admittedly have it lean towards the ending they wanted. Usually betting and taking opposing sides as to what would happen.
Battling is a particular big one for Meau, she loves to get down and dirty with other legendaries and mythicals even if she has the power advantage. Most often fighting with her brothers, she wouldn’t be above transforming into the Pokémon she was fighting to even out the playing field, or even change her type so she was inherently weaker to it. It’s why she’s never been against human with their Pokémon battles, battling is an innate part of her creations and herself.
Missingno. on the other hand loves to explore, even with his age, he knows the world is in a constant state or change and ventures off on his own to explore it. He’s not nearly as against humans as Meau and has explored their cities and settlements. Most intrigue by their computers/technology nowadays and how he’s able to to interact with them. Meau has explored with him on occasion, but prefers to stay away.
I’d also imagine they like to race in very difficult conditions. High up in the atmosphere or just outside in the actual vacuum of space. Deep in the ocean, forcing them to make their own path through rock and stone. Which probably pisses off the weather trio invading all 3 of their areas, but that leads perfectly into the next one.
They love to piss off the other legendaries, because… well, what can they do?
There has been more then on tropical storm, tsunami, volcanic eruption, and general disaster caused by the Ancients pestering another powerful legend. Lastly, they sleep, if the current time is too boring, peaceful, or simply there is nothing to do that interests them… they’ll sleep for a couple thousand years.
As for more current day stuff, it’s much tamer since Bucket was taken, Meau woke up from a much needed thousands years nap to a very different world. Humans had well established themselves even further, technology exists, and they can clone/create pokemon. So she is staying in the tree with her suddenly growing family, just to watch. She wants to know what everything’s up too from a distance given they’ve somehow managed to trap and almost kill another mew, make a Mewtwo, and possibly a second one.
So she’s just always watching human society from the tree, whilst also teaching and nurturing Odysseus. He spends more of his time exploring the tree and occasional testing out powers. With Meau’s assistance. The trees massive and filled with Pokémon, so he’s got quite the endless bit of entertainment. Decamark is the newest edition and thus follows a lot of what Ody does! Though Noe has been poking them, figuratively, with a stick to figure out what he’s capable of.

I have just been extremely chatty lately so anyway yapping to a character prompt part 3
1. How do they celebrate their birthday?
he usually just treats himself by shopping at red street. he would invite people but he doesn't really have friends
2. Who is the most important person in their life?
himself if I'm honest but whatever partner he may get definitely becomes the most important person to him
3. What to they wear when they're just at home hanging out?
it swings wildly between "he wears the most expensive outfit he owns just for funsies" and "he wears basically nothing because of texture issues"
4. What is their house like?
you've seen the shop! it's that. with a cozy upstairs with lots of pillows. very Howl's Moving Castle esque decor going on in there too
5. Any pets?
eventually Faunus, yeah! he tries very unsuccessfully to lure pigeons and stuff to him with pumpkin bread. he's definitely an animal lover and tries to pet anything
6. What will always make them smile?
things that bring him comfort. warm bread, little trinkets, and eventually, his friends
7. What will always make them cry?
if you ever make him feel like you don't like him he will get mad and then cry about it later
8. What's their favorite movie (presuming they life in a world with movies, if not, what would be their favorite movie)?
I watch the same 5 movies on loop so I'm not sure 😭 I'll say he's a ghibli kind of guy
9. Favorite book?
erm I don't read so idk but he loves reading up on mythology and magic and things like that
10. Do they get along with their parents?
despite feeling hurt by Mercurio they're definitely close. that's the reason WHY he's so mad at his dad for leaving- he loves being around him. his relationship with his mom is negative but nearly nonexistent, they hardly see each other
11. If you could put them into a different fictional universe, where would they go?
in my universe GET OVER HERE (I have fallen in love with him)
12. Favorite holiday?
he freaking loves the Winter Solstice bro, like he hates the cold but he loves the closeness that comes with it and the over the top decorations
13. Tattoos?
nope!
14. What was their first kiss like?
awkward 😭 but passionate. buddy tried his best but he is painfully socially awkward
15. Have they ever lost somebody they loved?
yes, his aunt Capra. it destroyed him
16. They find a genie and are granted three wishes, what do they wish for, and why?
1) he wishes for someone to be obsessed with him. he is extremely lonely and feels so much love that has nowhere to go, and his heart is so empty he needs something to fill it. 2) he would probably want his aunt back and 3) he wishes to be rich for personal reasons but also so his dad will quit his job and stay home with him (that's not how that works 😭 he loves what he does)
17. They're stranded on an island and can only have 4 items and one companion, who and what do they bring?
he brings Asra and doesn't have to worry about the other 4 items because Asra will portal through the water and get them to safety. er cheeky answer erm Asra brings a wand, a cup, a sword, and a pentacle
18. What's a quote (not from their universe), that you associate them with?
I had to google "quotes" to get this 💀 I think this one's fitting "be so good they can't ignore you" -Steve Martin
19. Any romantic interests?
too many
20. What kind of accent do they have?
it's hard to say because they would all be speaking a language I do not speak. (of course the devs say they're all fantasy languages but we can assume they would at least be similar to real life areas and languages) he would sound like a native Italian speaker for sure, where Nadia, Julian, and Lucio, might not
21. What is their most prized possession?
he has a couple... his rings are probably up there. he never takes them off
22. Have they ever stolen anything?
only a body!

Hey, so kind of a general writing/not been on tumblr much update (because apparently I'm so perpetually online people will ask me if I'm ok after a few days of me not posting as much lmao): I have been having some health issues. I haven’t really mentioned them aside from updating a couple people I talk to daily on why I've been so quiet because a.) I felt too poorly to do anything other than marathon sitcoms I've seen a bazillion times, and b.) I didn't know what was going on.
The tl; dr is that, after getting diagnosed with strep throat a few weeks ago, and feeling mostly normal aside from some minor irritation in my throat, I started feeling horribly weak and overall just fucking terrible, and I was having bad tachycardia. Like a heart rate in the high 130s just standing, and a sitting heart rate of like 110 (my normal resting heart rate is in the low 70s). Three trips to the ER later, a bunch of normal labs and cardiac tests, and my boss (ER nurse for 20 years) pushing for an echo, and I finally got a diagnosis of pericarditis, which is inflammation of the sac around your heart. It's most commonly caused by viruses. The ER doc suspects my strep throat was misdiagnosed and I had a virus that caused the inflammation of my heart, although I think bacterial infections can sometimes cause it as well. I've been put on high dose ibuprofen and some acid reflux meds to protect my stomach while I'm on such a high dose of ibuprofen, and I have to take it easy for at least the next week and then be careful and play it by ear. I have been too weak to even sit up much for the past several days and cannot stand for very long, which is infuriating as someone who does one-armed push-ups for funsies.
Anyway, all this is to say, I'm still alive, the next chapter of Book of Merthur (for any of you following it) was coming along just fine but for obvious reasons is a bit postponed now. I'll probably be off work all next week again and hopefully will feel strong enough to get in a bit of writing. (And for any readers about to say, 'Oh my God, don't worry about that, take care of yourself!!' I am literally gnashing my teeth to go back to writing and am furious that my last week or so has consisted of me being too exhausted even to read. I've been marathoning sitcoms I've seen a bazillion times, I'm not even much of a TV watcher, and I'm going crazy. Yesterday I lifted two books to get to the one I wanted underneath them, and was so exhausted I went straight back to bed. THEY WERE PAPERBACKS. AND NOT WAR AND PEACE PAPERBACKS.)

Souvenirs from Stitch
_____________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐
Characters: Lilia Vanrouge, Stitch, Malleus Draconia, Silver, Sebek Zigvolt
Notes: Loved this event a ton, then seeing Lilia’s liongarb where he enjoys gifting souvenirs and I couldn’t resist. I know this doesn’t follow the event strictly, but it’s for funsies. Let a girlie be silly <3
Enjoy ! Any feedback / suggestions are appreciated ! I really want to write more on here ˚ ༘♡ ⋆。˚
˚ · .
Waves slowly crashed on the white sand of the beach as Lilia looked out into the view of the unexpected vacation he was granted. It hadn’t been planned, yet he was having a blast despite their uncertainty of when they’d be home. Everyone else that were also transported here also seemed to be having a blast. Floyd, Azul, and Jack were out surfing on the ocean blue while Ace, Riddle, the Ramshackle Prefect, and Grim were making sandcastles. Well, three of them were. Grim had become the sandcastle. A warm smile was stuck on his face to see everyone having so much fun compared to the panic they all experienced first arriving.
His eyes continued to scan the beach for their newest friend until hearing the rustling of tropical leaves behind him. He turned and smiled as Stitch emerged from the greenery. “Usually I’m the one sneaking up on others.” He’d comment as Stitch climbed up his body to rest on his shoulder. “Not interested in what the others are up to?” He’d ask while crossing his arms and leaning on a nearby palm tree. Stitch gave a brief shake of his head while Lilia softly tapped his chin. “Maybe you can help me with a little dilemma.. Usually when I go on a trip, I like to bring back gifts for my friends. I’d also like to erase their doubts that I even got stranded on a beach magically after reading a book in the library.” He’d smile while Stitch tilted his head. “Ohana?”
Lilia would get up and begin to walk into the forest with Stitch still comfortably resting on his shoulder. “The question is what kind of gift could I even bring? Something unique that you can’t get off just any beach. Any ideas?” Lilia would shift his gaze to Stitch while he walked. Eventually emerging onto the crash site. “I was hoping I could make something with the scrap we can’t use.” He’d admit as Stitch hopped off his shoulder and into the wreckage.
Bending down, Lilia began to rummage through with Stitch for anything that could possibly be used to make something nice for his friends back in Diasomnia. A soft sigh of defeat escaped his lips while standing back up after several minutes of looking to no avail. Stitch noticed and crawled over to him while Lilia looked around the area some more. “Oh!” He suddenly exclaimed as an idea came to mind. He quickly whipped around to Stitch, who tilted his head as Lilia bent down to his level with a smile. “You can make things, right? There’s a couple knocked down trees.. how about we make a little wood carving?” He’d suggest and Stitch would smile with an approving sound. Crawling back onto Lilia’s shoulder as he made his way out of all the piles of scrap metal they piled up to use for Stitch’s ship, keeping a hold to not slip off. Lilia stood before a giant piece of wood that split off from a tree when Stitch crashed. “Will this work?” The small male would question as Stitch slid off his shoulder.
The alien got onto the wood and began to claw away at it rapidly until left with several little figures of himself. They were about as tall as the palm of your hand. The shapes were a little abstract in style, but smoothly shaved to not cause splinters. Lilia’s eyes lit up at the sight of them. He quickly scooped them up as Stitch hugged his leg. “They’re perfect! I’ll paint them when we get back to the bungalow!” He’d exclaim joyously. “You’re very handy, Stitch.” He’d compliment, earning a smile from him. He’d let Stitch back onto his shoulder, glowing as he made his way back to the bungalow to paint the gifts and keep them close so when they went back home he’d have them.
_
When back in Diasomnia, he could still feel the little figures in his pocket while entering. Malleus, Silver, and Sebek all came over to him when seeing him arrive. “You were in the library quite a while, fa— Lilia.” Silver would quickly correct himself, slightly rubbing the back of his head. “Indeed.” Malleus would agree while Sebek spoke up, making the other two slightly sigh. “What took so long?!” He’d ask, his voice booming like normal while Silver politely shushed him a little. Lilia could only smile at the familiar behaviors of them. “I ran into some unexpected travels!” He’d exclaim, beckoning them all to sit back on the couch. “Allow me to enlighten you with my adventure.” He’d say cheerfully, leaving the other three confused and looking at each other as they followed him.
Once Lilia finished recounting all the details of his sudden vacation, they all sat in silence before Sebek interrupted it. “I cant even imagine how such a thing could occur!” He’d sigh loudly while Silver slowly nodded. “Me too..” He’d agree while Malleus thoughtfully held his chin. Lilia would only giggle while finally bringing out the figures he and Stitch made. “How do you explain these then?” He’d ask while the other three stared in amazement, and also shock. “Incredible..” Silver would mutter as they all took one. They all carefully studied the intricate carving while Lilia stared at his own with a fond smile.
“I couldn’t leave without a gift per my tradition.. and this time, I had a friend to help!”

my fictional romeguys introductory post to contextualise the posting!!!!!
this is my little guys from my novel project which is currently in its Infancy very much. the story is set... somewhere roundabout the 80s-70s bce probably. it's broadly about two guys who make a jointly beneficial political alliance (and also become friends in the process) their psychosexual joint consulship and its consequences
main guys:
lucius furius m. f. sp. n. camillus: 45 years old, semi down on his luck patrician. he spends most of his time when he isn't trying to enhance his dignitas in the political sphere being a weird shutin and not leaving the house if he can avoid it. was injured very badly when he was young during a brief military career, preventing him from doing war stuff again... for now. (he also had a hugely comical and deeply formative crush on his commanding officer during said military career). ambitious beyond both his physical and monetary means. has been in a sexless arranged failmarriage for like 25 or so years with his wife, caecilia, whom he was married to because his family desperately needed money (but he does love her in his own weird way i think). also loves gardening, stoic philosophy, being maybe slightly addicted to opium wine, books in general, and being inside and in his house reading his scrolls (despite being in politics, having to shake all those sticky plebs' hands makes him want to kill himself fr. the price he pays for his rightful place in society as he sees it...). he is a huuuge sullan also. to him sulla did nothing wrong ever in his life. most famous for being a bit eccentric and reclusive, but still quite respected by most of the senate for his modest lifestyle and his refined and learned tendencies.
gaius martinus: our biggest handsomest general... a couple years older than lucius furius, wealthy plebeian senator. he's a bit of a new man; his family has only been in the senate for a couple generations and never attained the consulship. he's a simple type of guy really; he's a squarely competent (though not really that astounding) military commander, not very book-smart, and has an impressive appetite for all of life's pleasures. most people who don't instinctively look down on him for these traits tend to like him tremendously; he's easy to talk to, friendly, generous, and cheerful. he has a wife, poppaea, who he loves very much, and 6 horribly behaved sons to whom he is a beautifully absent father. his favorite things to do are hang out at the baths or the gymnasium, throw big dinner parties or go out partying with his friends, and do his thang commanding his troops and chopping people up with his sword in The Wars. he doesn't have very strong political leanings, and mostly just wants to be paid attention to, adored, etc. most famous for accidentally unleashing a pack of tigers intended for his games into the streets of rome while he was plebeian aedile, and for throwing big knock your socks off parties (and not getting mad at the guests for taking a little of the food home)
heres a main guys image (coin of them i drew):
others:
caecilia: lucius furius' wife in their arranged failmarriage. for her this relationship is constituted of a mix of resentment and love; they get along very well mostly, and in another life they could have been good friends, maybe, but in this one they're married and he's wasted her life. she helped him tremendously with everything he's done in politics, both with her advice and with her money, and in return she's mostly just been taken for granted. she wanted kids. there never were any. she thought he might die from one of his many ailments (he is the worlds sickliest man) soon enough; he never did. who's to say you can't love someone while also wondering if you could get away with killing them every now and then? she mostly passes her time by weaving, and writing vulgar epigrams which she publishes under a pseudonym for funsies...
poppaea: gaius martinus' wife. there isn't too much to say about her; she really is gaius' other half. like him, she's cheerful, easygoing, and enjoys the finer things in life. she loves gaius dearly, despite the fact that he's far from faithful; poppaea isn't the jealous type, or else, knows she can't really afford to be. she is also a wonderfully absent mother to their children, mostly preferring to leave the child raising to the nannies and take pleasant strolls around the gardens and go shopping in the big markets with her friends. she has a close relationship with her father, and often visits him.
quintus poppaeus: gaius martinus' father in law. a thoroughly slay old man. businessman who was never involved in politics (made his money from the mines), loads of money and mostly spends it on building hanging baths in his baiae villa, installing the latest garden fountains to flex on the neighbors, ridiculously swagfully effeminate outfits, and so. so many beautiful pet fish. his only child is his daughter, poppaea, and he adores her. he also has a very friendly relationship with gaius.
furia: lucius furius' younger sister and only living sibling. she's a bit like him if he were more mentally stable and normal. she's in a barely tolerable marriage with another aristocrat. her and lucius furius don't speak very often; she resents him a bit for having power over her i think (their father died when they were young) and he probably made her marry whatever crappy guy shes married to now (have i mentioned this is a work in progress)
theres other of my own characters but these are like. the ones who will Matter the most and that i will post about tbh
none of the stuff mentioned in here are things which would like. spoil any Plot so i wont say any more... im not too precious about spoiling things cause its such early days (plus i think if i write well enough it will be interesting to read even if you know what happens hopefully?) but i just dont want to make the post any fucking longer lol...

Hi! I've been reading things from your blog for a couple months now, and I've always wanted to request a certain scenario that tickles my brain just right. But, I don't know if you're comfortable with it or not. I just went through your rules and I'm not for sure, but if you want to decline this request then that's okay! I understand :)
I've been wondering how BTS would react of they spontaneously just decided to adopt a kid, around 14 years old but looks much older. Like, she looks 17. She has an attitude that's a little too firey and she curses worse than a sailor. She had a rough past and she can act mature and nice when she wants to, but she usually chooses not to. She's more reserved and maybe some of her violent wants are a little questionable, but she never acts on them? (She low-key needs therapy but refuses to go cause she's stubborn)
Sorry if this is super personalized and specific but I had some things happen when I was 14 and that's how I acted afterwards, and I just want to know how your amazing mind would put this together!
Again, you don't have to do this so please don't hesitate to tell me if you're uncomfortable with it! I love your work and your sexy brain for making these! ❤️
Hello! 🫶🏻 I’m not sure if you saw in the “rules/about the blog” post, but I mentioned that this account was just for funsies and that I wouldn’t be taking requests. If you happened to overlook it, please let me know so I can try and make it more noticeable for anyone who comes along in the future! <3 I’ve actually had a post drafted for a month that I’ve been meaning to post where I reiterate that I don’t take requests and explain why, but I keep forgetting to do it.
Even if I was accepting requests, I don’t really feel comfortable writing something like what you’ve described. I don’t write things about pregnancy, adoption, having kids, trauma, mental disorders, swearing etc. (I don’t swear, so my works reflect that)
I know you said it was okay if I said no (and you were so sweet too aaaa) but I’m sorry 😭 I also just kinda wanted to explain why I’m saying no. Thank you for taking the time to leave this ask though, and thank you for reading my stuff and enjoy it!! 🖤💜 I wanna share more of my BTS stuff here, as I’ve got 3 books worth of imagines over on Wattpad that I hope to go through and share here in the future

Get to know me tag game!
Exactly what it says on the tin, I was tagged by @samblerambles for this one!
Top 3 Ships: I hope this question means just, like, currently, cause no way could I choose a top 3 of all time 😭. Current Nuclear-Levels-of-Brainrot Blorbo ships are: 1) Jeca (Jesse x Beca, Pitch Perfect); 2) Zelink (Link x Zelda, primarily Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom); and 3) Zekkna (Jaina x Zekk, Star Wars Legends/Young Jedi Knights). Honorable mentions go to the polyam versions of these ships tho (JessexBecaxChloe and Jaina's Mini Harem aka JainaxZekkxJag(xmaybe Kyp but I'm not sold on him). And maybe also YonaxSidonxLinkxZelda, which I just think is neat and fun)
Favorite color: yellow! I love a good golden, sunny yellow I gotta say 😁
Last Song: unintentionally, Cake by Itzy (played on the radio at the boba place I went to today); intentionally, Mr. Perfectly Fine (Fearless Vault Track by Taylor Swift)
Last Book: you know what, it's been 7 months since I last read anything, I think that officially makes this answer None until I get around to reading another book 😅.... Or it's the Little Golden Books baby's first biography on Taylor Swift. Which might actually be cringier 😅 (cringe is dead and it's a cute book etc etc but goddamn does this still say something about my ability to read actual books nowadays rip)
Last Movie: The Eras Tour Movie, preceded by The Barbie Movie
Currently Watching: nothing intentionally. I like watching some of the MeTV block of classic 70's/80's/90's shows tho. I'm always down for classic Macgyver and Emergency!
Current obsession: while you might come to the conclusion, based on this post, that it's Taylor Swift, I'm actually still fairly normal about her I promise 😅 I maintain the distinction that I'm a swiftie, but I'm not a Swiftie™. There's a difference. No, the actual answer is only mentioned once so far: Pitch Perfect, more specifically Jeca (and also SwanSongs aka Jesse/Beca/Chloe), even more specifically the secret good sequel to the third movie where Jeca can still win (and everyone is truly, canonically queer in a myriad of ways) that lives rent-free in my head, multiple pages of my sketchbooks, and as the Big Damn Fic™ I've been posting very slowly to AO3 since last year. Don't believe me? I'm gonna add '#jeca' and '#not to Blorbo on main but' to the tags of this post, look through the reblogs and actual blogs I've tagged over the past couple years and you'll truly understand how deep it all goes.
Currently Working On: allegedly, it's chapter 2 of the Big Damn Fic™ I just mentioned, 'these hands had to let it go free and- (This Love came back to me)', for which i just posted the ending a couple weeks ago as its own fic in the series to show that I'm doing something with it.
Country You Want to Visit: Scotland, Norway, and New Zealand. And also maybe Iceland. Pretty much in that order. I'd take a tour of Europe too tbh but those are the Big 3 (4).

ASMR time in Faerun
This is just the little drabble I wrote to accompany art commission by velnna/MAF from this link, please do check for credit and artist's socials! I wanted to post fic separately not to bother them with my shenanigans :)
! BIG DISCLAIMER, I have not written in many years, English is not my first language, I'm just having fun and being motivated by the amazing fandom of BG3 and a certain red-eyed fellow, don't come at me, pretty please.
So the fic/art premise I had in mind is to finally have someone [someone being Tav] read for Astarion this damn book he can't part with. I added some AMSR sprinkles for funsies and tiny bit of angst.
Setting is somewhat after Act II confession. My Tav has a name and background, but wanted to keep it vague here.
Pairing: Astarion/Fem!Tav
Warnings: None, a bit of angst, Astarion dealing with new feelings and experiences
Mood: fluff + light angst
Words were slowly blurring in front of him. Astarion has been reading the whole time the rest of their companions prepared and ate some awful, without a doubt, dinner. His eyes focused briefly on Tav - when she thought he wouldn’t notice, bard was throwing occasional glances at him through the day. Of course she was, after last night's confession, they both had no fucking idea what..."they" even were anymore. He slowly returned to his reading and decided to call it a day after a few more pages.
"Move, will you?" Mulling over the state of his personal affairs, he was surprised by Tav actually coming over to his tent’s entrance and plucking the book from his hand. She lay beside Astarion on some make-shift blankets.
"Rude. Sneaking up on me, stealing my book and demanding I abandon my very comfortable spot? Where are your manners, darling?"
"I am hardly able to sneak up on you, definitely not able to steal from you, and I'm just setting up a nice evening for us, love." - came the smooth answer.
"Oh?" Astarion felt a familiar twinge of uncertainty. They have discussed...well, sex, or lack thereof from now on, haven't they? Was he misunderstood? Her next words confused him even more.
"You happily indulge in whatever new shitty romance or poetry we find on our way. What do you say for me indulging you this time, hmm? Where did you finish?" Tav was looking at him expectedly, a smirk dancing on her lips.
"I...what?" Astarion's brain short-circuited for a moment, leaving him without his usual witty demeanor.
He heard her sigh in a "I'm not annoyed, but let's pretend I am" manner he knew all too well. "The book, where did you finish, my love?" Tav has finally picked up on his confused expression. "Astarion, I'm just trying to propose reading you aloud this..." - she glanced quickly at the book cover and raised an eyebrow - "Cranial Nerves and other highly specific triggers", if you don't mind, of course. I'm a little surprised at your choice of literature this time though. Anyway, it could be a nice way to spend another night in those wretched lands, hmm?"
So it was not about sleeping together, but reading together? Ah, a cute try on her end to make things, well, normal. Whatever is considered "normal" in their current circumstances. Worry was replaced with relief and curiosity. No harm in a little deflection then, is there?
"This is what you used to do with your past lovers? Playing an old, boring, married couple?". For some reason, it sounded more accusatory and less sarcastic than he intended to. Astarion cringed inwardly at his own words. What was happening to him? When seduction was off the table, he was stumbling over his practiced lines like some damn virgin.
Tav's easy smile faded a bit. Oh shit, did he hurt her?
"This is what I want to do with you, if you let me. If not, just say so and I’ll go back to my tent."
There was no mockery in her words, no play, no humorous retort he'd expect in their usual banter. Faced with simple honesty he had no answer other than being honest himself. And frankly, it could be fun?
"Fine then, I suppose. Start on chapter 3, please." The vampire was not above smiling softly, more to himself than at Tav. He was learning an unknown dance, and for the first time in…well, for the first time, his partner was the one more skillful at it.
Astarion shifted slightly, leaning on his elbow and letting her lay comfortably beside him. Soft candlelight was warming his skin, playing in Tav's hair and on her freckles. She flicked through the pages for a moment and, propped on her forearms, started reading. Bard's voice had a calming cadence to it, quite different to her usual high octave sweet ramblings or singsong spells. If he could fall asleep, he definitely would, as she was reading out passage after passage in that new, almost whispery manner. His own little bard. It had a nice ring to it.
Cazador, tadpoles, Absolute, all of their current troublesomes suddenly seemed far away, if only for this brief moment of respite. Astarion was looking at Tav with something he would recognize as tenderness or, perhaps, even affection, if only he was familiar with how those felt. But for now, the only coherent thought he had was: "This is nice too". And it was just enough for both of them.

FNAF: Enigma (general info)
Enigma is a whump AU I created at the end of either 2020 or 2021, for the life of me I don’t remember. Keep in mind I started it well before Security Breach, and before Vanessa was properly introduced, when Vanny was also very ambiguous so I took what I knew (the mask and rainbow hair, referenced in the AR game) and pulled out my version of Vanny: a lesbian disaster with a rough past.
The premise of this AU is: William has been researching remnant—how it’s made, it’s effects, etc—and has amassed a cult following of various outcasts of society (whether they want to be there or not), and he’s turned his sights on Vanny. She is trying to live her life, but is haunted by a dark past and has a body count, making her a good candidate for William to manipulate into becoming a prolific killer. Vanny doesn’t want to join him, so he, knowing that she and Michael are very close (a sort of father/daughter relationship), takes Michael hostage in order to get her to cooperate. Michael is punished when Vanny doesn’t cooperate, and is sometimes a bit of a punching bag for some of the more sadistic cultists.
The timeline for this is. Convoluted but this is FNAF so. FNAF 4, 2, and the original occur as in the games, in that order, including both the Bite of 83 (victim being Cassidy Afton—yes I’m calling him Cassidy it’s a cute name) and the Bite of 87 (victim being Jeremy Fitzgerald; at the time, Michael’s bf). Michael goes undercover as Mike Schmidt to figure out wtf is going on, figured out his father is responsible for the deaths of the 5 missing children (vengeful spirit Cassidy is different from Crying Child Cassidy), and sets out to bring his father to justice. Shortly after Michael leaves the FNAF 1 location, the restaurant closes and William suffers the springlock failure, but, instead of being left in the supply closet for 30 years, he’s found by the members of his cult and extracted from the spring Bonnie suit. Michael ventures to sister location, where he is scooped, and after ejecting Ennard into the sewers (gross), he circles back to Henry Emily to figure out what to do, where they decided to end the madness once and for all, leading to the events of Pizzeria Simulator. Vanny joins the team a few years in (collecting all of the scrapped animatronics is difficult and takes a while), and is clued in to Michael’s past, as they both are haunted from their own mistakes and the mistakes of their fathers. No, FNAF 3 does not happen
William’s cult started as research into remnant and how it works, discovered shortly after Charlie Emily’s murder in 1987 (a week before the murders of the 5 missing children). Most of the members of the cult are those who were preyed upon at their lowest and have no way to leave, and were tempted by William giving them promises of ways to fix their problems. The others are genuinely sadistic and enjoy causing pain and misery.
Miscellaneous info:
Mrs. Clara Afton was a lesbian when she was alive, marrying William (a gay man) in the late 60’s in order to present as a heterosexual couple. They also had kids in order to keep up that facade. She was murdered by William after Elizabeth’s death, as she planned on leaving him and taking Michael with her
Charlie Emily and Michael Afton were close as children. Even more unfortunate that Charlie saw William as a sort of uncle, leading her to trust him, which is why he was able to kill her (she was 15 at the time)
Michael Afton is trans. Just for funsies. William may be a murderer but he’s not a monster (transphobic)
Sammy Emily is still alive. He and Michael weren’t as close as Michael and Charlie were, but after Charlie’s death they became closer, almost brothers
Vanessa Howard had a younger sister, Lea, who couldn’t pronounce “Vanessa,” and instead called her “Vanny.”
William’s design (half rotted corpse gnarled with twisted, rusted metal) is very much so inspired by his design in The Fourth Closet (keep in mind I haven’t read the books)

the anon who doesnt have aspd and taught myself empathy again here! i've never talked to a psych (self diagnosed autism) and as a teen i was p sure i had aspd (i Knew shit was strange w me and really wanted an explanation and once i figured out my mix of trauma and autism things made sense) coz lack of remorse and shit but i never actually really matched the rest of it -- i dont have substance abuse issues and never have, im p easily entertained, i've had the same three friends basically my entire life. i do though describe myself as the worlds most boring hedonist coz like yeah i sometimes have a hard time controlling my impulses and im motivated by fun but for me thats usually p simple -- easily entertained. read a book, video games, jump around to music. i AM frequently bored though?? like its my most frequent emotion and ive spent a Long time learning to cultivate my joy and really feel it properly. but im also the most easily excitable person i know. i dunno, i have v large emotions that appear then disappear quite quickly. a favourire hobby of mine since i was a kid has been to start arguments between the ppl i care abt and see how large i could make them in a single session then solve the argument w/o the ppl realising i'd manufactured and egged on the argument. which typing that out now seems uh. an interesting hobby. but late last year i told my younger brother and he laughed coz its a v me thing to do and was like "yo thats fucked. pls stop doing it to me" so since then ive mainly tried to just like playfully tease ppl in a normal way coz cognitively i understand its a fucked thing to do and im trynna be like, a decent person who doesnt go outta my way to play w ppl for funsies. which yeah that uh... maybe i Should look into aspd more again, i did a fairly shallow look into it as a teen and relating to azula as much as i did as a kid (and izaya as an older teen/young adult) was deff a sign of smth
i've followed you on this blog for a while (i think you'd only had it for a couple weeks when i first followed u?) so yeah i did know the story abt u and ur fiance! v cute
i feel like maybe we need a different identifier than "the anon who doesnt have aspd" because that might not be, uh. accurate! i have o clue why a lot of people with aspd seem to congregate around my account but i guess this is an aspd helpline now??????? whuh????
like im not complaining its just. how did i get here
also i think ive deadass used the "worlds most boring hedonist" descriptor for myself before and i deal w chronic boredom the same way you do- i have a LOT of hobbies and i plan elaborate projects and that entertains me but only temporarily
and thats the thing about aspd! it- like every other disorder- is a spectrum. you might not have substance abuse issues, and i do. you did.... your interesting hobby, and i find it morally fucked!* i have no idea your relationship with criminality, and i got fired for stealing
*i have done something similar but i have a moral policy of like, only fucking with people who Deserve It. who deserves what varies case by case and what exactly i do... i need to explain weird spiritual stuff to go in depth andyeah im not really itchin to be called crazy on tumblr dot cum
aspd in general is very misunderstood and no literature really focuses on what its like to have the disorder, only the perceived damage being around someone with the disorder will bring- which is why i initially self diagnosed thru tumblr posts from ppl talking about their symptoms in a serious educative way
sometimes i think like, maybe i don't have aspd, maybe i'm just autistic and i'm spreading misinformation- but i never really felt "at home" with other autistic people. its like- yeah i click better with other autistic people, but i'm still masking, i'm still faking, and even in this situation i can drop the mask partially but not fully. growing up with a personality disorder and trauma in communities largely filled with autistic people with trauma, very quickly teaches you that there's something different about you. it's an isolating, traumatizing feeling- my experience with this was mainly symptoms of npd, but like.... knowing you have a problem, wanting it fixed, and knowing nobody around you knows how deep the problem runs, and might even find its existence laughable or dangerous... it's isolating! and its shitty!!
generally i tend to Know if things i'm doing are bad or not, i just tend to not care in the moment, because it's better than being bored! entertainment wins out over everything. it's actually kind of terrible; i'll do stuff just to see a reaction out of people- it's like izaya, honestly, what happens when people are pushed to their breaking points?
thats kind of how i got so much into angst and psychological horror. not only did i want to break the characters, i wanted to break my audience. i'd tell my friends detailed stories about torture partly because i was interested in my story, mostly because i wanted to see their horrified reactions. i wanted to see how far was "too far," and i keep that stuff in my current narratives- i keep the pov extremely tight and do silly little tricks with narrative and formatting to make the audience feel like they're Really There
so yeah look into aspd. do it boy listen to me im the ps5 im speaking to you inside your brain. do it boy do it

For MBB and Abby: 11 & 51
For Natasha and Cecily: 12 & 41
❤️🥰
Hey darling. Thank you so much for asking, so let's talk about our wonderful couples.
MBB & ABBY
11. Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?
Mob Boss Bob is a master at keeping his emotions in check, and he rarely ever lets them show. This applies in professional settings, but also in his relationship with Abby, who finds him hard to read, especially in the early stages. As they get closer and catch feelings, she starts to be able to tell when something's bothering him.
Bob can read Abby like a book. He's so attuned to everything she does and says that he can detect even the slightest change in her mood. He doesn't always know the reason for her being upset, whether it's to do with him or her family, but he always knows.
51. What's a nonverbal way they say I love you?
Answered here.
NATASHA & CECILY
12. Do they have many heated arguments? How do they smooth things over?
Yes. I've mentioned it before, but Nat and Cecily are, by far, the couple who have the most angst in their story. They have a lot of heated arguments before they ever even get together because Natasha gets so frustrated that Cecily won't just take a chance on them, that she won't just break the friendship barrier they've been straddling since they were at Top Gun together. Following wait for me, they'll have a massive blow-up argument, which leads to them getting together. Eventually, they learn to talk about what's bothering them and figure out a way to move forward together. It's not an easy road for them, but they get there. (Let's ignore the fact that this answer had very little to do with the question)
41. Which one would take their jacket it off and drape over the other one because they were visibly shivering?
This obviously has to go to Natasha. She'll ask Cecily repeatedly if she's sure she doesn't want, and she'll refuse until finally Nat's had enough and just places it on Cecily's shoulders. Cecily is terrible at asking for help, which is something her backseater, Beacon, and Nat have bonded over more than once.
Have a Nat gif just for funsies

in addition to my usual top 10's the last couple of years i made an extra top 10 list for funsies (2020 list of top 10 wlw medias and 2021 list of top 10 webcomics for posterity) and i wanted to take this year's list as an opportunity to shout out some cool artists/shoprunners out there (and also drag myself for my poor self-control) so this year I present:
Sarah's Top 10 Impulse Purchases of 2022
(notes: links to stores where applicable; also this post features my personal pics so some of them include my face and/or body, don't be jumpscared)
10. Uchuu Summer (feat. Private Caller Hawaiian Shirt and Watermelon Pop Hawaiian shirt)
Shout out to Jacob & Karina Drawfee for wearing their cool shirts from this rad artist-owned store during a livestream which prompted me to buy two of my own shirts as the stream was happening. no model pics bc these shirts just recently came in (these previews are pulled from the website, also just want to say their preview art goes so hard) but when summer comes round again i will have infinite rights
9. Awesome Socks Club
(i don't have any cool pics yet for this one either because the subscription starts at the beginning of 2023 but look at the past designs on this website and tell me they don't absolutely fuck)
I saw a tumblr post from Hank Green about his socks subscription service where each month they get a new indie artist to design a pair of socks and all of their profits go to charity and look. i couldn't not do it. i fucking love weird quirky socks i was doomed from the moment i saw the words "awesome socks club".
8. REGALROSE (feat. Betrayal hoop dagger earrings)
REGALROSE is a UK based company that makes supremely badass jewelry. i picked up these dagger earrings to complement a wedding outfit and i think it worked very well if i do say so myself. Tbh very challenging to get good close ups of these lol so you're just gonna have to take my word for it that they're just as cool and badass in person as you might imagine. Favorite earring purchase of the year hands down!
7. Across a Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti
Became a huge fan of Blue Delliquanti after reading their excellent webcomic O Human Star (HUGELY recommend if you're in the mood for good sci fi with strong queer/trans themes btw!) and was thrilled to find out that they were coming out with a YA sci fi graphic novel with nonbinary protagonists earlier this year. Even more thrilled to discover how tender and heartfelt the story was!! Highly recommend for any graphic novel/sci fi enthusiasts!!
6. An Assortment of Records
My parents got me a record player for my birthday this year so obviously i had to buy the fuck out of some vinyls(there are plenty i bought that aren't pictured here but i was too lazy to scrounge up every single pic i have on hand of my records skdjfnskdnfs)
5. Sleepy Peach (feat. Choose Violence sweater vest, Locals Only bomber jacket, & Bird of Paradise cardigan)
Sleepy Peach is an independent clothing store that makes some bombass clothing, so colorful and fun and eyecatching! a friend sent me a link to their Instagram and i went OOH and never went back. I basically lived in the bomber jacket for most of the year and i have absolutely no regrets
4. Classics but Make it Gay: Volume II (edited by Nova & Mali)
Nova & Mali are a small queer publishing house that puts out some really incredible queer-themed art books and projects. This is part of a series that reimagines classic art through a queer/trans lens and it's absolutely gorgeous from start to finish, featuring so many talented artists it honestly blows my mind. They're planning on putting together a Volume III next year which I'm really looking forward to supporting!! (i also have digital copies of Cover Me Queer, an art book of queer-themed romance novel covers, and their Our Flag Means Death fanzine and they're both fantastic, just some outstanding work from these folks)
3. The Calorum Cookbook (unofficial Dimension 20 inspired fanzine)
Dimension 20's "A Crown of Candy" has an INSANELY talented fandom, it's truly jaw-dropping. The Calorum Cookbook is a charity fanzine cookbook inspired by ACOC's world that collects original recipes and TONS of amazing accompanying fanart and spot art. The layout is so professional and aesthetically pleasing, the recipes look so delicious (can't wait to try my hand at some of them!) and they even all come with little blurbs of in-world fanmade lore that put the recipes in the context of the show's setting in such a fun and creative way! Everything about this zine delights me and I'm so glad i decided to purchase a physical copy so I can hold it in my hands with childish delight and wonder. unfortunately i don't think they're selling physical copies anymore but I still recommend checking out the featured artists and contributors, this is a cool bunch of people!
2. Kinwamonster (feat. Monster Train bag, Big Bad jacket, & Home sweater)
One of my favorite independent clothing brand discoveries of the year! run primarily by one artist, i'm just so in love with the aesthetic and the quality of these products. This sweater is seriously the comfiest thing i own and i use the monster train bag for everything, it fits basically everything i need when I'm out and about. don't even get me started on this jacket, if it were possible to put it on and never take it off I ABSOLUTELY WOULD. I think they're currently on break but I'm really excited to see what they'll release in the new year!!!
1. Original lineart of Princeps Zortch from Dimension 20's A Starstruck Odyssey (by Amy Reeder)
This is undoubtedly one of the coolest purchases i have ever made in my goddamn life. unfortunately i am so hopelessly lazy and haven't gotten a frame for it yet so it's basically just sitting on my bedroom wall right now but MY GOD it is glorious. Thank you Amy Reeder for making such wonderfully compelling character art for dimension 20 and for the amazing opportunity to get my hands on the real actual lineart of my favorite npc of my favorite d20 season!!!!
#sarah.txt#facepics#2022 recap#not sponsored lol#honorable mention to my nail polish obsession#i'm too lazy to take a pic of all the polishes i accumulated this year but rest assured. there are many.

Get To Know Me!! thanks @thecryptkeeperskeeper for the tag dear god why would you do this to meeeeeee
Rules: Answer and tag nine people you want to get to know better and catch up with.
Favorite color(s): I am an absolute sucker, a complete slut, just down horrendous, for a good steel blue/grey blue (think that one tumblr color palate). I know it's probably boring, but a good version of that shade just gives me the good brain scratchies. Other than that, probably dark blue, any green, and black.
Last Song: The Winner Takes It All, while listening to my Better Call Saul playlist. Before that, probably Dead End Kids by Ratbag, it's quickly become one of my go-to's on the drive to work.
Currently reading: The Unbroken, by C.L. Clark, it's been on my recommendations and the fanart is cool, and by golly I need to read more books still. The main mistake is that I got it from the library to read in my downtime at work, and then I went and gave myself a creative project that's been taking up all of that time.
Currently watching: I'm two and a half episodes into EXU: Calamity at the moment, before doing the M9 reunited twoshot and going into Critical Role's 3rd campaign. Also rewatched Scream the other evening, and I think at least I'm going to get to the rest of those since I've never seen them, and we've thus far rather failed at my big long list of movies to watch in October. oh yeah also gotta rewatch Arcane season 1 very soon in prep for the incoming emotional devastation that will be season 2
Currently craving: I could probably go for an oreo or four when I get home from work, life is too short and precious to waste with the single-stuffed ones.
Coffee or Tea: Neither really? I don't know if I've really given tea its fair shake, so I should probably do that in the future, but I just don't care for the way coffee tastes at all. It's a shame, because both of them smell wonderful, but I just cannot abide the taste (of coffee).
Hobby To Try: Also definitely DnD, it had been on the "to learn" list for forever, and then I got into Critical Role, and went straight from that into playing BG3, which was helpful because at least now I should have a decent idea of how things work, my memory willing lmao. There's a couple ideas for characters that I've got rattling around in my head that I really ought to do something with, so help me. But also it requires like, actively seeking out people and talking to them and bothering them, and frankly nothing in the world horrifies me more.
Current Au: I'll be honest I'm not normally much of an AU person a lot of the time? Maybe I'm a filthy coward idk, I just tend to gravitate towards things where the story of the thing itself is what rips me apart, and so I usually try to stick to stuff that keeps that aspect to it. I can do it sometimes for funsies, I'm not that way all the time, just most of it lol, so probably some random caitvi modern au that was in my bookmarks.
Tagging if you want to join! I think I would rather spontaneously combust than actively tag other people tbh

Summer Reading 2024
Growing up, I used to love reading. I would even stay up under the covers with a flashlight in some of my favourite places: Hogwarts, Middle Earth, immersed in the world of VFD. This also led to sleepless nights and persistent headaches, so don't do that, kids!
Ahem. Anyway, I figured I'd get back into reading (particularly, reading for funsies!) So, here's a peek at my spring/summer reading!
Last book I read:
So I guess some people wouldn't count it as a book. I do. Aaanyway, I've been into My Androgynous Boyfriend off and on. It's a slice of life manga series about an office girl and her model boyfriend. I've had to read it in pieces, between uni requirements and the fact the most recent English translation came out a couple weeks ago.
My recommendation: I love it! I would recommend to anyone that enjoys early-20s slice of life stories.
Next up:
It's a classic, one I actually haven't read, but I really want to branch out to include more feminine literature in my life.
Saved for later:
I have the fourth volume of MAB that I haven't started, and I want to tackle some banned books as well, so Handmaid's Tale and A Court of Thorns and Roses are also coming up.
