#and also bc i don't trust anyone on tumblr to not be fucking weird about trans women on this post if it breaks containment

[bidokja]

i know the translation is partially at fault but y'all cannot look at jang hayoung and think she is not a trans woman like. of course they aren't good about handling her identity. of course they aren't explicit about it. do you really expect the "men in dresses are predators that deserve to be killed" web novel to have well handled trans women in it?? she "doesn't care about gender" but basically goes by she/they, doesn't want anyone referring to her as a man, and literally learns from ngmy who only teaches the skybreaking sword art to women. like. Hello.

[shesmore-shoebill]

since you mentioned an angel in neon blue as one of your faves…..your top 5 amangela fics perhaps? some honorary mentions too if there’s too many? 👀

Sorry for the delay on this, life got busy and then more busy instead of less busy and I wanted to give this ask its deserved amount of consideration.

anyway. Five is HARD. I will do my best. Order is not indicative of anything bc I've agonized long enough as it is. I've tagged folks + linked directly to their posts where I could find their associated tumblr post, and links to AO3 where I couldn't.

Also I cheated and made a separate list for NSFW ones. Partly because I know some people don't want to read NSFW. and to cheat a little on the 5 restriction.

As always, RPF with F as in fiction. From what I recall, none of these are attempting to speculate or make any actual statements about real people, they're all just works of fiction I like.

if anyone wants me to remove a link to their fic or a tag for any reason, let me know.

close my eyes (and fantasize) by @baflegacy

listen. I am a fucking sucker for well intentioned and realistic miscommunication that stems from care and then goes wrong. I love a thing where someone cares about someone and thats why they're worried and the worry also means they are a little mad and a little hurt bc fuck, i want to help you, why arent you talking to me about this, did i do something, crossed with the other person doing everything in their power to do the exact thing driving them up the wall, because they genuinely care so much about the other person that its skewing their judgement. People who care and people who fuck up. I'll eat it up every time, and this one is written in a way that feels so real. 👌👌👌👌

the devil is in the details by @skiespeaches

this is a newer fic and its still in progress atm and so theres a chance it gets bumped into NSFW territory 😅 but im really enjoying it!!! The dynamic between Amanda and Angela takes the competitive edge we can see in videos and makes it into something phenomenal. Its got such strong tension and pacing, and its also got. REALLY GOOD COMMUNICATION. People react realistically and have reasonable fears and doubts but everyone also talks about them and trusts each other and its just so satisfying to read as a result. And it STILL does the tension and the 👀👀👀👀👀 so well. Guess its kind of funny to put this and the prior recc right next to each other but I genuinely love both of these. Communication and humans are weird.

not strong enough by @moviemandy

i love a disaster angela fic as much as anyone but because I feel like that trope is established among smosh rpf, I love having that get subverted even more. More Amanda getting comforted!!! yeah!!!!!And the way the dynamic and emotions are written in this one is especially satisfying to me, they all feel very real, and sweet. :') Also, Im always a sucker for the trope where someone tries to deflect from their issues by taking care of someone else and then gets CALLED OUT FOR IT. also, double bonus, this fic can be read completely platonically. :]

a field of yellow flowers by @unknownteapot

gah this one has so many layers and elements to it, its such a damn delight to reread. the bittersweetness of it all really 👌👌👌👌. Grudging respect and admiration in an awful space, magnetism of people who both deeply want to love each other and really don't (but they do). The world feels very realized and that's so important bc the fic clearly sets up the interplay as like. The two of them and also the world they are in as a distinct three players in the story. This fic has so many emotions!!! gut punch of an end! you feel for both of them so deeply by the end.

i've been having revelations by @poppyfamily

slight cheating bc this is courtmangela but it should still count imo!!! It contains another classic trope of people who care about each other deeply and it being percieved by other people before they clock it themselves. Its something I like specifically as a writing trope and only executed in specific ways- caring deeply and being affectionate does not HAVE to mean you want to sleep with or are in love with someone, and IRL assumptions about that can be. Infuriating. But love how this fic does it. :) Also its funny and it feels very genuine and the voices all sound. right. I love fics with lots of cuts where so much is said in tiny details and tiny moments, it makes the world feel very fleshed out. Also, Courtmangela as a band is just a blessed concept.

NSFW fics:

lets make this bed get squeaky by baflegacy

This rewrote my goddamn brain chemistry actually. Like yes, this one is hot, but the parts that really hooked into my brain are not exclusively the spicy bits. Pining RPF Amanda is SO important to my brain, and that dynamic of an Amanda silently losing her mind and Angela also silently losing her mind but slightly more at peace about it, combined with their very genuine friendship keeping things fine and then. and THEN. well.

personal leisure by unknownteapot

hey this fic is hot as hell. Its extremely well written. But also besides the nsfw parts the banter and the sort of instant connection all feel very real and unforced and i love that the end of the fic feels so open ended but also so light and hopeful and sweet. choosing to believe they meet for coffee the next day and it all goes swimmingly.

like she wants to try me on by baflegacy

this fic is about amanda in the submissive and breedable outfit and angela. It accomplishes eveeything you could want from that. Its Very nsfw. its VERY good. Writing smut is difficult on multiple levels- keeping it logistically and emotionally sound while keeping it spicy. It does all three really well. also the aftercare moment is really sweet. :]

bonus: its the subject of this ask so i didnt include it but shout out to an angel in neon blue- the tension is INCREDIBLE and the way the ending recontextualizes everything and leaves you unsure who was really in control the whole time is like. really impressive. The characterization is SO strong and feels so true to the Sarah Christ we know and creates an equally strong Creekside Killer characterization to juxtapose it. 👌

[npcgrian]

About treebark ooh trust me we are still active, but sadly we suffer from a lack of interactions nowadays so we don't get lot of fuel :( which is very funny, bc both ren and martyn have talked about missing playing together and having a lore buddy, and from time to time either of them say the most unhinged stuff about each other. And when they do interact, like when Martyn got invited into hermitcraft to play decked out, they are WEIRD. Like "roleplaying as demons inside a burning box for 40 minutes straight and Ren saying Martyn has a nice neck for kissing" kind of weird. But yh, one day hopefully they will be in a series or play smth together and the fandom will be more active, bc those 2 CAN'T be normal around each other. Just check Martyn's tumblr blog (if you didn't know he's here, lol have fun looking at THAT)

Anon i appreciate you so much...yeah I've seen a little bit of them acting insane about each other but i get most of my perception of them via people posting about them on tumblr and to be honest i don't pay much attention to it because i don't really follow ren or martyn anywhere so maybe that's on me. I do follow martyns tumblr though but i don't pay much attention to that either lol. But I'm really talking about fan content anyway. And yeah maybe ren being missing from the two recent life series is a reason why they're not talked about as much but man, scarian enjoyers can't shut up about the cactus ring so why isn't anyone shutting up about renchanting. Like man. I didn't even watch them but they seemed insane from afar. Martyn killing ren to make him red was metal as fuck and also very homoerotic. I loved the sort of king/knight thing they had going on. I need more people talking about them and drawing them immediately

[faithofgods]

if i may ask (i tried to look if this was already answered but tumblr is a broken website, so im sorry if im asking something that has been answered), does the way that Sol deal with jealousy change once they're in a realtionship with MC?? bc i believe all the asks you linked are pre-relationship, no?? or, at the very least, that is the implication i picked up.. bc, i will fully admit, the idea of deep romance!Sol being jealous and possessive and like.. not repressing those emotions, is something i am very intrigued to learn more about lmao (esp if its healthy and moderated jealousy/possessiveness, which like.. considering how Sol has dealt with unwanted emotions in the past, is not something i assume will happen lmao-- i am fully predicting that someday, maybe even not with jealousy, think funky lil repressed bean will just have their feelings fully blow the fuck up lmao rip)

The short answer: Sol getting 'jealous' / 'possessive' (in their way, not entirely in what is typical / traditional) does not happen once at the point of being in an actual relationship

The much longer answer (+a clarification first):

By 'possessive', I mean a very childish version of it. It's something that Sol recognizes is a ridiculous way to feel in the first place, and outside the meta character talks here on the blog, it's unlikely MC would ever know about Sol's little 'flare-ups' of it

It was something that was a lot stronger / happened more often when they were both much younger (especially when new people entered MC's life), and was a bit like, they're my friend, why are you talking to them / what do you want from them ?? 😒 It was (and still is) a knee-jerk reaction manifesting from Sol's fear of getting abandoned / left behind, and is something that's lessened considerably as they've both gotten older (and even more after the events of eight years ago). Now all Sol wants is for MC to have some semblance of normalcy again, even if that's not 'with' them / 'because' of them

What Sol really struggles with is—in their eyes—being a 'burden'. They don't want to bother anyone (especially MC) with something they perceive as 'trivial' as their emotions when others are already dealing with their own things

You might see it in the update depending on choices (though with a different emotion than jealousy), but when Sol gets to the point where they can't fully ignore something / push it away, they will leave the situation causing those feelings entirely before they even have that chance to 'blow up', as these kinds of strong emotions that they can't fully control give them a deep, deep anxiety

((In Sol's case, they're also not the type to 'blow up' at all; it'd be more 'spilling over into anxious and nonsensical rambling' or 'getting very sharp and snippy with their words as a defense mechanism' (though a much rarer reaction and not as mean or pointed as someone like Cían would be; it'd be something like a very sharp, very flat, "I don't wanna talk about this anymore.")))

Jealousy itself has a lot of strong connotations, and with Sol, it's something that's way more abstract of an emotion in them. They recognize it, understand that they feel it, but don't have a name for it as it's not something they really let themself acknowledge in the first place, and thus is not something that fully forms. To them, it's a vague sense of, seeing you with this person / hearing you talk about them stings and makes me deeply uncomfortable, and I don't know how to handle that so I'm just going to pretend this weird feeling doesn't exist.

As for why that jealousy disappears once in a relationship: they're both with the person they want to be with, have both chosen the other person, so there's nothing for them to be jealous over / feel weird about. Sol trusts MC, completely and unconditionally, and that will never change !

As a smaller, related note: Sol would never agree to being in a relationship if at any point they thought MC was either settling for them or would fall out of love with them/leave them. This contributes to that implicit trust and nonexistent jealousy

[doodlebloo]

ur take on whether or not u can trust someone ab not shipping real folks is based as always dude. one way i try to avoid real bitch shippers is blocking anyone who makes a headcanon or sum that seems even the slightest bit out of character and more like the cc's. what r they gonna do? dm you? cry? you gonna cry? oh also by blocking anyone who makes dnf or karlnap truthing posts.

real shit being a part of the cbeeduo side of tumblr has been stressful as fuck n its why ive distanced myself a bit bc im fucking tired of seeing shit in the tags thats just fucking disrespectful and gross. major respect for being a cbeeduo main in this day in age o7

(Do not reblog this ask)

You'd think in a fandom that has a shitty reputation based on a few weird people making everyone look bad you'd see less of people thinking a whole community is weird just because a few weird people are making them look bad.

And like once a community (like beeduo enjoyers) gets a bad reputation from a few weird people it makes everything look that much worse. Like for example if a community not notorious for having to deal with truthers posted something like "Omg x streamer said hanging out with y streamer was the hilight of their week!" It would be fine, but if a beeduo main posted it everyone would be suspicious. Which is kind of deserved! Because for some reason beeduo specifically attract irl shippers like a moth to a flame!

And it's really uncomfortable because as much as you can SAY over and over that you're not an irl shipper, there's no way to prove it. You can SAY that you don't have an alternate Tumblr acct for truthing under a different name, but even if you let someone comb through all your files you still may be able to hide it! It's entirely based on the honors system, and I don't know about any of you but I wouldn't accuse someone of truthing without genuine, solid PROOF that they're doing something fucked up.

It's really difficult because like the line between character and cc is THERE. It is. Tubbo is not a half goat ex president with burn scars nukes and a son. Like there is a line. But with this fandom it's really hard to make like AUs and such unless it's like still a fantasy setting like medieval setting or space or something. Bc if you're like "High school au!" Then like ok... How is your version of c!Tubbo who has never fought in wars wasn't found in a box has no scars doesn't have a son etc really THAT much different from just normal Tubbo? It's very complicated and hard to do in a way that's not weird

It's just a slippery slope. Which is why I AGREE with Ranboo's phrasing! He kind of HAS to be that vague, because the more vague he is the more leeway it gives him later to call out anything specific he thinks is gross. I get that and also He Especially has every right to be wary of IRL shippers and truthers, considering his chat's recent obsession with "jokingly" calling him gay/saying he came out. (Which, by the way, INCREDIBLY hypocritical to make gay jokes abt a streamer and then accuse other people of irl shipping/truthing but I digress.)

Also I don't even know that I'd consider myself that much of a CBeeduo main! I literally have just written a handful of fics about them (2/3 of my bigger ones are mostly c! benchtrio) but for some reason these two characters have the most like complicated and vague set of boundaries for writing them literally ever. Like I don't want to write anything that makes anyone uncomfortable at all, but I also don't want to say that everything cBeeduo has ever done in canon is platonic, bc I don't know what Ranboo and Tubbo's intentions were. And as time goes on it only seems to get more and more complicated and people seem a lot less willing to tolerate other interpretations (ppl who see them as /r being called truthers, ppl who see them as /p being told they're wrong or getting made fun of).

The way I see it there are only two correct ways to handle things like this: either BLOCK the person who made the content just like you said, or try and TALK to them - y'know, like in a civil way? Tell them what part of their thing you think might be breaking boundaries, if they agree they'll change it and if they don't you can block each other? No callouts no death threats no nothing? That sure would be nice huh.

TW: Drugs, substance abuse, murder, violence, the Punisher

Another potentially unpopular opinion I've seen on here (and one that I'll actually rant about) is that, Jason is the only good vigilante in the Batfam because he kills people (think the direct quote is "unlike those other feckless bitches" and something like "when you get saved by Red Hood, you know that you'll never have to worry about getting attacked by the same person again". I don't know how to explain to people that killing the type of criminals Jason killed in canon is wrong and harmful (thinking about the 80 Blackgate prisoners he poisoned - hmm you know the American prison system is pretty fucked up i'm sure they all totally belonged there /s). Like. Jason killing the Joker is one thing, but he literally hasn't killed the Joker - Dick did that, Bruce tried to, but Jason hasn't. But like some people make it out like oh, Jason being a killer is fine because he only kills people that deserve it - who, tell me who he's killing? Sex offenders and drug dealers seems to be the most common reply. And I won't touch the sex offenders but drug dealers? Have you heard of the War on Drugs? Have you seen what happens when people in power decide it's okay to openly promote the killing of drug dealers? I don't understand why people think it's fine for Jason Todd to go around killing drug dealers, as if they don't have families, don't have other things that put them in a bad situation. There's a reason why cops in the US (idk if they do this elsewhere) use the Punisher skull as their emblem - and if you advocate for a Jason Todd that punishes criminals, don't be surprised when the right wing weaponizes him against minorities and the red hood helmet starts to get painted on cop cars.

I wrote a paper on the Norwegian prison system which rehabilitates and releases even the "worst" of criminals and just... I live in the US and it seems like we (specifically white people) have such little compassion for anyone who commits crime. Even after the War on Drugs, even after we learned it was a scam, people fall for the crime and punishment rhetoric time after time. Like I live in a suburb where people are so scared of drug dealers my mom literally called our neighbor because someone cut through our yard (and she thought he looked high or something idk). Which I get it, my cousin died from a fentanyl overdose, I understand you don't want that near your kids. But incarcerating or killing drug dealers is not the answer, and I can't stand it when people take that stance on Jason. You can try to explain the 8 drug dealer heads in a duffle bag any way you want, but at the end of the day, I think the batfamily fandom needs to be more careful addressing this issue because demonizing drugs/drug dealers/drug users is literally one of the ways the American government destroys black communities.

And to think, the Jason Todd stan that this opinion came from replied to me because I commented on how Jason likes to run around in Dick's old clothes - something that has absolutely no bearing on his morals, other than he's thrifty which is a good thing actually, something like 85% of clothes ends up in landfills. Sorry for the rant, you asked for it. Sorry if anyone who sees this likes Jason Todd and is offended, you're not bad for liking him, he has an interesting story, just please don't advocate for murdering common criminals, specifically drug dealers.

AAAHHH NOO BUT IVE SEEN SOME OF MY MOOTS DISCUSS THIS BEFORE

sorry it's late and fucking hot I don't have the most comprehensive reply dbdnhd and I do acknowledge that at the end of the day this is fiction but opinions real people hold come from SOMEWHERE - and I think we have a very ingrained belief that crime/bad deed has to be punished and that there are good and evil people and good people only do bad things when influenced by evil people which is exactly the core of jason's belief - and that's interesting for a batfam character, a former robin!! I like when him and bruce are contrasted based on ethics but I don't like when it's meant to show that jason is right and bruce is wrong

batman is an extremely popular and fascinating character because at his core lies the idea that systems that are in place to 'protect' people are corrupt and it's down to individuals who can do something to go against them and look out for others - that's something that will resonate with people even if irl solution can't be to dress up as a bat and beat tf outta people shdhhshs

I have two points to make here:

a) I'm straight up a fucking anarchist who lives in the woods, thinks aliens are listening, and doesn't trust the government but I don't believe systems are corrupt, I believe they operate the way they are meant to operate to punish and control the populations that the system needs to be controlled to keep up the status quo - war on drugs is such a good example for that. drug dealer also exists as this boogeyman, this idea of an evil person waiting to corrupt and destroy the good people but the fact is: people don't get addicted to drugs bc drug dealers exist, people get addicted to drugs because something, not someone, compels them to do drugs, because something (literal us gov) introduced drugs to their communities and drug dealers are just tiny pawns in that game. additionally, many dealers are addicts themselves who got roped into selling to pay for their own use or who got pushed into the margins of society so much that drug trade is the only way to survive they can find

there are like, whole papers and books and thesis done on this so I'm not gonna act like I can analyse it in a tumblr post dhshsjsj but yeah people who think jason is right usually show this weird superiority of 'oh batman doesnt get how to fix gotham like jason does' and like... no, jason gets played like a fiddle by the system the way people he kills do, and whatever he does will always just hit the other pawns and never reach those actually at the top, those who are profitting from finding scapegoats

and like, batman comics don't have to address that bc it's comics, you can write small lmao but don't argue that jason is somehow more enlightened than bruce for killing

b) this brings a question of, if we decide that there has to be punishment for every crime, who gets to decide what punishment is right for what crime? cause there's not a single person who's infallible enough to dictate what the best approach is in every situation

and batman works best as a traumatised man who's loves his city sm he tries to work however he can to protect people from corrupt systems and offer them second chances wherever he can bc that's who batman is at his core - batman is not a punisher he is a protector and he should never be pushed into a role of the punisher bc he's not edgy enough

also bitches are so hard acting like they would kill every villain cause rip to batman but I'm different, y'all are too scared to tell the waitress your order is wrong shut the fuck up lmao the closest any of y'all have been to being batman is getting your ass beat behind the club on a saturday by brenda in her boohoo jumpsuit

[bakujho]

bon jour madam hope u don't mind may i ask your thoughts ab rook my love? ik he's kinda french but it's why he's great spare some details pls? and hey I like your thread it's bizarre how ppl would gloss over official info but say headcanons like autism and sexuality def are bc it's easier to swallow, but ig that's tumblr for you oct's my 2nd fav dorm too but they're def not the first people u should ever trust your life with lol

I fucking adore Rook. he is SO weird.

I used to really dislike him because every time I see him with his dumbass haircut I see lime cat and I can't unsee it, BUT his dorm card with Floyd is one of my favourites cause anyone that can out-weird Floyd is great. (Somehow Pomefiore are the octa tamers and I am HERE for it).

^Limecat for reference, since it' well predates most people on tumblr's online memory I think.

I think Rook is probably the second most mysterious characters, after Crowley. (Jade is up there, but Floyd gives away his game way too often). Like... we know that he was in Savanaclaw and changed dorms for Vil, we know that he strives to find beauty in every way due to his love of theatre, and that he has 5 siblings that he doesn't see often.

But like... what the fuck is he hiding in his room, how, if not related to his UM is he able to gauge everyone so accurately with a glance? Why does he have light magic instead of dark? And why, with that, is he at NRC instead of RSA?

Anyways, he's an over the top weirdo and I have SO many questions about him, and I would 100% trust him to protect me BUUUUUUUUUUT i would also 100% suspect there's something going on cause WHY ALL THE SECRETS, ROOK HUNT? HUH!? HUUUUUH!?!?!?

Also, Pomefiore is a family, do not separate.

Edit: the resolution was awful. Sorry about that. Updated version now! :)

Now the text answers my beloved <3

Here are some of my favourites!

Mumza. On accident.

How do you cosplay on accident? 👁️👁️

Phil and say it's Urahara

200 IQ play right here

cc!Ranboo basically. now it just sounds weird. I mean who dresses up as irl celebrities and not the roles they play? man. it just sounds cringe now

I'm gonna throw on a green hoodie, say I'm dream and call it a day B)

Put a plastic plate on it too and it's complete

I have a half-made Ranboo cosplay, but I'm also too old lol

DO IT. I don't care. Even if it's just for you to wear at home. Do it. Nobody it's too old to dress as things they like!

tubbo :D (not 2 self promo but ill be posting pics @starbug.png on insta 👀)

Check them out! :)

There's a bunch of Wilbur/Ghostbur cosplayers. I love you and the Grisn cosplayer very parasocially.

Also the Mumza cosplayers

I got my ex into mcyt a day or so before we broke up because he started to ignore me > - >

Well... That's.

Figured out one of my besties is into it bc I saw a sketch of the Llama Line by L'Targay

One of my irl friends is an OG dsmp fan, she was there the very first stream. It’s just fun to talk to her about stuff.

A group of 17 year old boys called me cringe at the publix selfcheckout bc of my quackity shirt and i laughed so hard that they got confused like. its not bullying if theyre right

This one. This one has to be my favourite. That's the spirit.

There is a girl in my class who I talked to very little. We were supposed to do an assignment based on a hobby we liked, so I chose MINECRFAT. After I presented this, she approached me after class and said she liked my presentation. She showed me some of her dsmp drawings, like the realistic ones based off photos. She fucking amazing at it and they’re incredible

i was having a rlly bad day at school and in maths class(my last hour of the day)my teacher started playing jump in the cadillac and i just started crying

I really don't want to laugh at your suffering but damn that's hilarious from the outside. I hope you're doing better now tho 💜

i showed my mom a ranboo video and accidentally reviled that i stole almost his every one of his speech patterns

In class, a guy compliments my Ranboo hoodie. I look at his hoodie and he’s wearing a Wilbur one. I compliment his as well. A girl nearby stands up and looks at us. She is wearing a Quackity hoodie. Somehow the universe has placed three Dream SMP fans together in the same class. The best part is you would never know we were fans without our merch. We could be anyone. We walk amongst the living

That makes me want to buy merch so bad

last night I wrote penis smp fanfic while sitting right next to my mom who doesn't think I swear. she could have looked at my screen at any time.

Asked “does a historical speech from a minecraft roleplay count?” For a kinetic typography assignment

Wrote a lyrical analysis on the l’manburg theme for a school project

o7

the reason i didn't answer "mumbo jumbo" to the philza's wife question is because mumbo jumbo is too busy being a gay whore in last life. he's gay married but also flirts with every man he comes across

True. Absolutely true.

I literally saw an anti vaxxer on tumblr talking about how it's bad that Tommy and tubbo have to get vaccinated just to see each other irl

!! i have a VERY IMPORTANT FACT: niki nihachu <3 also dsmp women in general,, hannah niki puffy tina collab when pls give it to me its all i want in life,,,,,, also unrelated but im in a musicy mood listen to romance by yoasobi and watch the video trust me its stunning :]

Watched it! Really cool visuals! The music just brings me back to my VOCALOID fandom fase (not that is possible to love the VOCALOID fandom completly though. I definitely haven't.)

I’m making a Wilbur soot animatic based on The Fall by lovejoy and I hope I can get it finished by the 16th !!

Good luck!!! That's awesome!

im in this hellhole more than 1 year how am i still alive akpqpqlajwhoq give money

Why must life give its hardest battles to its weakest warriors

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Please help okay so the problem is "Let P be the set of all people who have ever lived and define a relation R on P as follows: for every r and s that are elements or P, rRs <-> r is an ancestor of s or r =s. Is R a partial order relation? Prove or give a counter example." It's definitely reflexive ince when s=r then s=r which is true. It isn't symmetrical since that would be weird as hell, I mean a grandparent cannot be the grandchild of their own grandchild that would fuck up the family tree even more than the DSMPs but like, how do I prove that mathematically? Like, if rRs and sRr then r = s but "if person A is either a grandparent or the same person as person B and person B is either the grandparent or the same person as person A then person A is person B" just feels like a weird sentence.

Catch me dual-wielding Hermitcraft and the Dream SMP… call me Hannah Montana cause I’m the best of both worlds

Same. Same. Call me Ariana Griande because I'm a-grian with you.

i just saw a post. soon, we will have enough tommy father figures for a mamma mia! au.

Months before I got into DSMP I had an internet friend interested in it and I was like "lol, nice, but could never be me" because I had gotten out of my 2016-2018 MCYT phase not that long ago at that point and didn't think I'd go back... Well...

ldshadowlady is a goddess amongst us all and we should recognize her as such.

I always talk about wanting to bake bread again but I keep procrastinating. Same goes for writing fanfiction and stuff too. I have countless abandoned fics across all of the platforms I'm on, plus about ten that never made it out of Google docs or pure writer. I think I have a bit of a problem lol

I can assure you're not the only one. 👁️👄👁️

We all suffer from the procrastination problem. Don't put yourself down too much ok? You're doing that for yourself and if you don't feel like doing it then you don't feel like doing it. 💜

Wilbur with wings is unappreciated especially when you consider all the cool headcanons you can have for what they'd be like after his revival like skeleton wings or phantom wings or only wings DreamXD can see. Also ghostbur w/ blue melting/ evaporating wings *longing sigh*

That's pretty cool!

I figured out I was fine with any pronouns by brainstorming self insert dream smp fanfic

I have a huge crush on quackity

This one broke me and I don't know why. Every time I look at it I start laughing my ass off.

I got into it because of Woe to the People of Order

Oh, woe to thee, ye people of order

I hope your homes continue to smolder

And that you never rise again

And woe to those that called me a friend~

That's a badass way to join a fandom

I just miss Ghostbur man

Don't we all? (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ Have some blue

[diaryofafictive]

if glee were still going now and instead of every season being one school year, they were just stuck in this unending timeless void of being in highschool forever, you know they would've done an episode of sexual liberation by now.

Quinn would have a field day with it and whatever her number is it'd go down in glee history as a super fucking weird moment that you only remember during odd hours of the night years after you stop watching. not unlike that song where she got like 6 other pregnant teenagers to dance backup for her while she sang a song about women being oppressed.

also because this is my alternate universe where glee still exists to terrorize us all im deciding that they never stopped writing plotlines for Quinn, and because I'm writing this tumblr post I'm deciding that a recent plot line she had was that she went on a sexual liberation quest and at some point ended up fucking Santana, and oh my god Santana wants to tell people about it soooooooo bad but Quinn made her swear to secrecy so she just has to drop hints around Quinn's boyfriend (ig Finn since I don't like him) about having fucked his girlfriend. she has fun.

anyways Santana would sing Scotty doesn't know and it'd go down in both glee and lesbian history as an absolutely earth shattering life changing event that forced millions of little queer girls all across the planet to suddenly become very aware of their sexual orientations.

I think in general I just like the idea of Santana fucking everyone's partners and holding it over their heads, like when Rachel found out Finn slept with Santana and Santana kept walking over to Rachel and saying shit like "by the way, he bought me dinner afterwards😌✨" and Rachel proceeded to like lose her absolute mind for the rest of the episode. I just love that for her yknow? I like that this is a power she has, she should get to use it more often.

also I like the idea of Quinn being kind of a mentally unstable unpredictable mess, because although a lot of the reason she has that image us bc Ryan Murphy would ignore her all season and then realize oh shit we haven't done anything with Quinn in a while uhh make her get a haircut I guess, I just think it fits for Quinn to be kind of a disaster. so in my heart in this darker timeline where glee still exists, Quinn would get a couple of storylines every season, and the writers would just sort of pull things out of a hat to make her do for the next 10 episodes or so.

whenever she runs for prom queen, and since time doesn't exist here she's ran like 7 times by now, she gets way too invested in winning and the writers use that as an opportunity to give her a good old crazy girl ballad, but they'll still do the glee writer thing where they'll make her have a psychotic break in the school bathroom one episode and then no one ever brings it up, except to make one liners about her mental state and the fact that we probably shouldn't trust her to drive the car when the uht carpool but she refuses to let anyone else take the wheel so we're just going to have to let Santana and Brittany pray for their safety. anyways. that was a lot longer than I thought it'd be thank you for coming to my ted talk

[alliterative-albatross]

So, I sent you (@disgruntledspacedad) a pretty long ask a while ago (back when you had anon on) and I'm decently sure Tumblr ate it (or maybe you ignored it, in which case, feel free to ignore this one as well). But then I saw one of those "writers appreciate feedback no matter how long" posts, so I'm back here. Here is my mediocre attempt to rewrite my original review of your work. Bear in mind that English is not my first language, so if at any point my phrasing sounds weird to you, you know why. Mandatory disclaimer/apology: this might get a little too long 😅

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

I remember being SO mad at myself for not finding this sooner. I binge read it one afternoon with no thoughts for any real life responsibilities I might have had (and no regrets). Javiears is one hell of an unconventional relationship in the beginning, and I really love what you did with them. The whole premise of your story is quite refreshing, and you somehow manage to convey the trust and mutual respect there two feel for one another without explicitly showing us the beginning of their "entanglement".

Also, fuck you for what you did to poor Emilio, that man was a saint and he deserved better! I honestly can't believe that I got so attached to a character that appeared so little in the story, but it happened, and his death kind of broke my heart.

But the Javiears reunion + mild confession was lovely, and felt completely deserved. And of course the sex scene. I won't lie, I expected a bit better from Javi there, but I did like how utterly /human/ it was. Capturing that humanity, the imperfections in each character is something you're really good at (more on that later).

AFTERSHOCKS

Ah, my emotionally constipated babies who really need to work out their communication issues. I do love them, though. And this short series did a really good job of delving a bit deeper into Ears's and Javi's psyche. Kudos to you for dealing with the medical "aftershocks" of living through an explosion AND using that experience to move your emotional plot forward. These two need to grow a lot before they can get to a stable point in their relationship, and you really manage to convey their insecurity and fear of commitment/intimacy while making it clear that they're in it for the long run and that theirs is a relationship that WILL work out so help them God.

IF I FALL

Ouch. Punch me in the gut while you're at it, why don't you?

But seriously, "If I Fall" is SO FUCKING GOOD. Don't get me wrong, it's angstier than an image of Jesus on the cross (don't judge me, it's Holy Week and I just got home from accompanying my grandma to church), but it somehow works beautifully. You, my dear, play heartstrings like they're a fucking guitar and I AM HERE FOR IT.

You're doing an amazing job at making me feel everything these characters are feeling, which is both awful (bc pain) and impressive.

Also, if anything happens to Ana I will cry, because she is adorable and wonderful and has suffered way too much already and really deserves a break and some cookies.

Also also, if anything happens to Ears I will cry, because she is badass and wonderful and has suffered way too much already and really deserves a break and some cookies.

Also also also, if anything happens to Javi I will cry, because he is loving and wonderful and has suffered way too much already and really deserves a break and some cookies.

Basically, I am really invested in the well-being of these characters and can't wait until they're happy and safe again (please tell me they will be, my heart can't handle much more pain).

A quick note on the angst complaints: yes, this story is way angstier than most other fics out there and it can be a bit too much at times, especially considering how many chapters of pain it's been. BUT it's obvious that "If I Fall" NEEDS this amount of angst to get where it's going, to send the message it wants to and to properly develop its characters. The pain is as important to this story as flour is to bread. You may not like eating flour on its own (I don't think anyone does), but you love bread (because bread is amazing) and you must recognize that bread NEEDS flour to work. It wouldn't be bread otherwise. And eating the flour as part of the bread even makes you like the flour because the bread is just DELICIOUS.

I fully understand and sympathize with the people who have elected to table "If I Fall" until it's completed so they can binge read it knowing there's a happy ending in sight, but in case you're feeling a bit self conscious about all the angst, please know that your story is beautiful not in spite of the pain, but rather /because of it/.

PS: No, I'm not high/drunk, I just really like bread

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Silly thing to comment on, I know, but I do feel like it's important that you know how useful your ANs have been. There are many details in the story that I simply wouldn't fully get without reading your comments at the end of each chapter, and I appreciate your writing a hell of a lot more knowing how deeply you understand and care for each one of your characters. Plus, it is obvious how much work you've put into researching a country and a time period that are (from what I gather) unfamiliar to you, and I really do believe you've done an amazing job of it.

JAVIER PEÑA

My boy. I love your characterization of this complicated character, and I have eagerly read each and every one of your headcanons about him. I can't really say if your version is fully faithful to the source material because it's been a while since I saw Narcos, but your Javi most definitely reads like a real person. He's fairly consistent as a character, and I feel like everything he does is perfectly natural for him to do as a character. He makes for an unconventional yet deeply interesting romantic lead, and so far I have thoroughly enjoyed all his POV chapters/scenes.

OCs

I know you've gotten some flack for making her into an OC halfway into the story, and while I get why the sudden change may have felt like a disappointment for some, I don't share that sentiment. I firmly believe that this fandom is unfairly harsh towards Original Characters and their creators, and I don't really understand why. Listen, I love Reader fics, and consume many Reader fics. I have read dozens, maybe even hundreds, and I can safely say that I've only ever "inserted" myself in approximately 10% of those stories. Reader characters are not as blank as their writers may want them to be. They can't be. They're characters, and character have personalities and moral values and senses of humor and a bunch of other things. Reader characters may not have a backstory or a physical description attached (and even that's not guaranteed), but they're still characters.

And on a more personal note, pretending they're actual blank slates is naive at best and insensitive at worst. Reader characters are American coded 99% of the time, and white coded 95% of the time. Not every readers is white nor American, even if that's the predominant demographic on Tumblr. When I read a JavixReader fic about a woman who speaks exactly zero Spanish, I know she's not me. The story may be beautifully written and have an amazing plot and character development, but the Reader *isn't me*. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and some of my favorite xReader stories feature a "reader" who couldn't be more different from me, but it's something that enemies of OC fics should take into account. Particularly if they are white and/or American. But I digress.

HANNAH AARONS

Your character is amazing. She's strong, smart, confident, independent and an all-around badass. She gets kidnapped while pregnant and still focuses on problem solving and survival. But she's also overly guarded and mistrustful, and really needs to work on her communication skills. There are times when I absolutely love her and even admire her, and other times when I want to whack her with a slipper. She's no Mary Sue, but remains interesting and likeable throughout the story. She feels wholly human and real, and that's no easy task. I like her, I am invested in her, and I can't wait to see what's next for her. She's a compelling and three dimensional protagonist in a complex story who never fails to draw me in. I love her. She's your baby, and you should be proud of her.

Also, quick question about personality types: I know you've typed Javi as ESFP and Ears as ENTP (100% agree on both, btw), but have you given any thought to their enneagram types? I personally have always seen Ears as being somewhere on the thinking triad, maybe a 7 or even a 6w7, but I'm not too sure about Javi. 9w8 maybe? He could also be a 6w5 🤔

PARTING THOUGHTS

Basically, I love your story, your characters and your writing in general. You are a fantastic storyteller and wordsmith. You get into the heads of incredibly different characters personality-wise (Ears, Javi, Berna...) and manage to capture all of their complexities and quirks every single time. And it doesn't feel like it's something innate for you either. To me, it seems that you have put a lot of work and effort into understanding each and every one of your characters, who they are, why they do what they do and what they want. And let me tell you, all that effort has been more than worth it. "Better Love" is a fanfic, but it wouldn't be out of place in a regular bookstore, if I'm honest. I don't know what you do for a living or if you've ever considered writing professionally, but you clearly have the skills and the drive to create some masterpieces.

You are amazing and your writing is a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us, and have a nice day! ~ 🍪

My friend, I apologize for hoarding your first ask. I’ve been sitting on it because I’m not gonna lie, I enjoy going back and rereading it. It gave me a lot of comfort when I was in a pretty dark place, both personally and in regards to my writing, and I was reluctant to send it out into the the abyss of Tumblr where I might never see it again. 

That’s not fair, though. You put just as much effort into sending me that review as I put into my writing, and I apologize for never responding to you.

Okay, anyway, so twice now, you’ve made me cry. In a good way, I promise! 

I absolutely love your bread/flour metaphor. It made perfect sense. I want the emotional release of Javi and Hannah’s reunion to be earned, and in order to do that, the angst has to come first (there are also a few plot “ingredients” that have yet to make their appearances). Thank you very much for understanding that, and for voicing it so eloquently.

I appreciate your comments on my research and characterization. You’re correct that I’ve put a lot of time and effort into crafting a universe. In a lot of ways, I’m doing my best to stay true to the source material (regarding culture and timelines in particular), and in others, I’m branching into my own territory. 

On that note, I’ve never once regretted fully embracing Hannah Aarons’ identity as an OC. She’s stayed consistent in my mind from the beginning, and it was a relief to finally share my vision of her with the audience. And for the record, I totally agree with you regarding “reader” characters. Every reader insert echoes the perspective of their author, no matter how vague the physical description. I can only imagine how grating that must be from the perspective of a non-white, non-american reader. Thank you so much for sharing your insight! I will certainly keep it in mind the next time I write a “reader insert” fic.

Okay, enneagrams! I am much less familiar with enneagram than I am MBTI, but I agree 110% that Javi is a 9 with a strong 8 wing. I waffled back and forth on Ears a little, but eventually landed on 8w7 for her. It came down to the eight’s deepest fear, which is being controlled. That’s Ears all over, and the fact that she and Javi share that eight willfulness means that they might butt heads a little, which also seems very appropriate for them. Big thanks to @remusstark for her insight into the eight frame of mind - our conversations helped solidify my decision on this. :)

Anyway, I’m just rambling now. The big take-away point that I want you to get is that I am so, so grateful to you, both for your insightful feedback and your dedication in making sure that I actually saw it. You are an absolute gem and a deep thinker, Cookie-Anon, and if you ever feel like sliding into my DM’s, I’d welcome the opportunity to get to know you better.

Mad love and soft hugs, 

~ Jay

Hello hello! :D

I promise you did not make me feel like a poser! Its a me thing that I have to work in bc I get insecure very easily, so don't worry :D You don't have to apologise for hyper fixating, I do that as well lmfao and your opinions are awesome! I love spoiling myself stuff bc im not patient enough :p ig I did get a bit intimidated?? I think its the first convo in which I've talked about jjk more in depth (like character writing and plot lines, etc) compared to "haha Gojo is hot" WHICH IS FINE bc I do find him attractive and I'm not trying to shame anyone who only talks about JJK bc the characters are attractive that bc I do it too, way too often, to be fair 😅

I feel like im being insanely oblivious right now, but leave aot of what controversial classification?? did you mean the Yaoi ship exploitation or...? TT

DEBATING THROUGH DISCORD IS SO SCARY, TEACH ME YOUR SECRETS LMFAO

Yaoi cafes- I- I totally agree w/ what you're saying. I think there's a lot of fetishisation and tokenization (I hope this is an appropiate term) of mlm relationships.

"haikyuu is very much shipped cause the male friendships in there are so strong and healthy" I absolutely agree with this point. I think that's the part that bothered me the most when discussing shipping ig?? I've seen a lot of arguments to defend/explain people's ships and they kinda never made sense to me bc I saw a clear double standard between the friendship perceived between men and women. Like saying people like each other bc they "trust" each other and are honest with each other about their feelings its kinda absurd imo. I do understand that most shippers are pretty chill and most of the time their ships don't hurt anybody!

No, bc now that you mention tuskkishima/yamaguchi pairing I can actually kinda it. Mainly from Yamaguchi's perspective tho, tho I've only watched 7 eps of the first season and im sorry for saying this but I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE HIM IM SO SORRY I CANT- I find him to be annoying and just there during the first part of S1

Its probably bc he reminds me of myself growing up/right now :,) does that imply that I don't like myself?? Maybe! But that's not the point :D The way Yamaguchi was with Tsukki was kinda the same way I acted around my best friend back then and it was,, messy to say the least LMFAO. I have bnha tag blocked on Tumblr TT but I can see where you're coming from, I've heard a bit about the fandom but not much. I hate the way teenage girls are demonised for liking anything lol. It made me weary of the people around me.

I haven't watched YoI, are we even surprised TT, but I did watch clips of the skating routines when I was a bit more into ice skating! I really enjoyed them; I have the song of Yuri's routine saved on Spotify lol. I never thought of the concept of something not being openly canon but still canon?? I like the way you said it! but I understand why it is frustrating, specially when you know the people who write/direct/create the story are trying to appeal/please to another demographic so their work is more accepted.

Opening twitter is so dangerous no matter where you are.

One time I remember my phone automatically connected to the bluetooth in my dad's car while I was watching stuff. The sound of the video went off for like 5 seconds until I realised that it automatically connected and freaked out. I was also playing with the volume levels bc why did the video shut up???? I was so stupid TT luckily my dad didn't question me lol

I WANNA WATCH THE MOVIE SO BADLY FUCK. I think the first anime movie release we got was Koe no Katachi/a silent voice a while ago but only one theatre was playing it. It was very far from my house and in a dangerous area so my dad wouldn't have let me go TT I know watching the movie is gonna hurt like a bitch but im so prepared for crying my eyes out. Tho knowing im impatient as shit id probably watch the shaky-camera-poor-quality-cinema recording-thats-filmed-at-a-weird-angle-with-the-audience's-heads-in-frame version. I did that with Spiderman no way home bc I couldn't find tickets FOR WEEKS

Why does Gojo smelling like nothing not surprise me at all?? I imagine it being in the same way cats smell like nothing. Sandalwood and incense <3 watch me spritz that fragrance on all my clothes now. I am, in fact, a delulu fan :)

Junji Ito is gonna be the death of me. There's a book store close to me that sells a huge Junji Ito book and I want it so badly bc I wanna read his stuff but its so expensive TT He's drawings are terrifyingly amazing tho, do you have any recs??

NOT CUM LMFAO I got so excited explaining the meaning of csm ngl

My feed has also been flooded (in a positive way) with Yuzuru again, I missed him :,) I will personally sue the hole on the ice, idc what anyone says. At least his 4 axel got approved by the judges! I think he is the first male skater with a certified 4 axel now :D I WATCHED THAT VIDEO AS WELL!!!! It was very interesting and fairly easy to understand if you don't know a lot of ice skating terminology! (like me :p). I didn't know Yuzuru went to college until I watched that video as well, I don't know why I didn't see that coming. Anyway, he's such a sweetheart </3 I will not leave this earth without watching him live at least once. I refuse TT he skates without so much elegance and passion and his "stage" presence (is it still called stage presence in this case??) is amazing, one of a kind, incomparable, unique, stunning, breath-taking-

Everyone hates mappa <3 Just today I was thinking how Tokyo Revengers would've been better (in general) if it was animated by mappa...even though I've only watched clips and the op ;p I do wanna read the manga at some point, I just have to organise myself :,)

YES!!! You won't regret catching up I swear, its so good so far and the cinematography is beautiful!

BARKING AT THE GETO TIKTOK YOU SENT AAAAA WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MANIFEST IRL HIM TT and no pls bc I fall for Toji thirst traps all the time, and its specifically toji thirsttraps no less LOL I saw one of a girl cosplaying him and Jesus Christ- ✋ I can try to find it but it was a bit a god :,)

Thank you so much, you're gonna make me blush TT I hope you take care of yourself as well!!

Have a good night/day :D

haha yeah i get that too! i used to get that feeling a lot in middle school cause it was popular to call everyone a poser lol glad i got to overcome that. i'm still connected to toxic fandoms and shit but just don't care lmaoo i'm glad i am my own cringe, mainstream self <3

aah you'll love r/jujutsushi then! it's a pretty supporting subreddit where people discuss the manga in depth, it's so fun to read! the haha gojo sexy discussions are fun, i hate how toxic people on tw and shit call those people "cringe" or "posers that read it only to simp" those two can corelate??? thats a whole another vent conversation

aah no i knew i couldn't explain it lol i think i meant it as in your opinions aren't barely there it's just that i support the controversial opinions so mine are just too out there??? i think???

omg let me tell you about this one time, like the day after ch139, a couple people and i tried to explain this dude how eren is finally free and he just... didn't understand it. at all. there we were, 3 people telling the same stuff over and over again, explaining it to him like he was 5, and him being like "okay but why" needless to say, i left the server

i mean i haven't watched much of season 2 yet and i can tell you yamaguchi is still just there lol at least he's cute and he tries <3 man i keep forgetting these are real children lamoo well i mean i kinda relate to tsukki so that means we can be best friends too <3

aah it's so dramatic but so fun kdscflawkvm i don't really like herohei but the bnha videos make me chuckle a lil bit. unsupervised internet at best

yoi is so fun! it's like eating cotton candy. it's pretty short too, 3 episodes are up on youtube! it's so lighthearted. they are VERY canon btw, i would tell you why but it would be a spoiler sooo you should really watch it 👀 but also victor is extremely sexy

bestie..... what were you watching...........

i will absolutely watch the shaky version or maybe even the crunchyroll version if it gets released online before it does here. i want to watch in cinemas too, the action scenes seem incredible

aah it's been such a long time since i got to read manga tbh. i saw uzumaki 3 in a second hand bookstore in my hometown for cheap and got so excited, i couldnt buy it since they didnt have 1 and 2 :(

i taught csm to my spanish speaking friend and she said she had never heard of it before lol so two birds with one stone

yuzuru truly is an artist. wait i found another tiktokwlsaemflswkdmfclsmfr gurl same

i would DIE if mappa reanimates tokyo ghoul like the fans are asking them to, tho i want them to BREATHE for a bit. i enjoy the fast content but cmon man let the animators rest </3

nah cause i don't even feel bad for eating those thirst traps. you should see my fyp. im not even embarrassed anymore. i don't really like cosplays unless hakken does them but man you can't go wrong with toji cosplays (you can but yknow)

have a good one babe, talk to you later <3
