Good pulls today on HSR

I've won the 50/50 on Huohuo's banner.

And look who came on the perma banner....

Bailu my vidhyarian child, I'm so happy to see you. Don't worry you'll get all the sweets you want.

Natasha will soon stay on Belobog forever.

(Early) good luck to those pulling for Huohuo and Argenti and for those who are in the 1.6 banner waiting room as I am skipping the 1.6 banners because Penacony is not far away.

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

part 1 (on VA and being better than humans)

part 2 (on welt and being just a human)

i just watched the truman show, and i am feeling many things- shoutout to narratives within narratives as a metaphor for how sick our concept of entertainment is, and the concept of free will shout out to 4th wall breaking, shout out to metaliberation, shout out to alternate timelines. characters trapped in the narrative i love youuuuuuuuu <3

[mementoasts]

somewhere else?

some ramblings below:

something something, jon landed in erebus and was healed from the stab wound by the time he woke up. he's still connected to the eye and has been able to manage on his own more or less, but he's generally been nerfed and is also struggling to concentrate as an effect of erebus being a place the eye can't really see.

he meets melinoe in the fountain chamber, where he's been able to catch his breathe and try to think about what to do next, and how to reach martin, who he's been separated from. the chamber has the added benefit of being spider free, probably thanks to the cat that frequents the area.

martin is in the fields of mourning, however jon isn't able to see that far deep into the underworld, much less be able to go down there himself. he can, at the very least, sense that he IS there somewhere. martin probably assumes that jon is dead, and some mix of of the lonely and being in the fields has him doing not so well :( can eventually be found by melinoe, sitting alone in a chamber next to one of those statues that watch you

uhh something something, eventually they're reunited and get a happy ending xD

voidwelt x DBH au bc i love mixing my hyperfixations

[prringlecan]

Guys do you think welt will ever get his silly man arc in hsr. He’s just a silly old man. let him rip off someone’s limbs with nothing but pure gravity thanks

like will we get to hear more about VA. Will he SHOW UP. No not you luocha I want the minecraft cube in the flesh (????). What if something happens to himeko. WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIMEKO.

Please,,,, I need the old man to break a leg. And no I don’t mean his own but it is also very likely

This is a cry for help welt fans pspspspspspspsps

Finally, the Otto Apocolypse-Luocha-Void Archives encounters I've been waiting for

I waited so long for them to remember that Void is still in the game. Welt arrived at the express with a blonde companion (no seriously, where is VA in the game? He gets mentioned early on vaguely and then in the Welt flashbacks. He's even in Welt's splash art)

and then there's these two

I love Otto's narrations here. He's such a guy

You know, out of all the way I thought Void Archives would be introduced to HSR it wasn't "Welt uses their corpse as a snow board in a collab teaser"

[ezziemagpie]

Fanfic authors, please, I implore you, from one writer to another, DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS. Change the account ownership, make a different pseud to put it under, anonymise or orphan them, it doesn't matter, just please, please, PLEASE, do not delete them. Please. Even if you think they're badly written, or out of character, or a decade old, or 'cringe', or whatever, there will be some poor schmuck out there who loves what you've written and will cry over its deletion because they forgot to download it. - Sincerely, some poor schmuck who loves what someone wrote and has spent the last ten hours trying to track it down because he forgot to download it.

[queenie-ofthe-void]

Team Archive leave their last statements

Basira: Fuck off, Jon

Melanie: Fuck you, Jon

Tim: Fuck this place but especially Jon

Martin: I'm the only one here who's fuck-

someday I WILL give in to the demons and buy a red string border and by then I will be able to do much more than pace and mumble to myself about the sheer insanity of the lore

[buqbite]

i dont know how often i wanted to draw a specific character and doodled this bitch instead

[devilledeggz]

when the dynamic is "I'll be here for you, I'll leave you to rot. i'll hug you, i'll choke you. i'll smile for you and make sure you never smile again. i'll be hurt and make sure you know how it feels. i'll make you, i'll break you. i'll love you, i'll kill you. i'll never forgive you."
