#and if you are going to send hate anon related to this: cry about it

[playawner]

Here's a reminder because I've seen discourse regarding queer identities a lot lately, both here and in other apps.

I don't fuck with 3xcluz1onists (e, s, i) nor tr4nzm4dicalists (a, s, e). If you are that please block me. I do not tolerate them as I see it as a way to harass and infight other queer invididuals without getting called out; I've seen a LOT of them harassing, sending d3ath threaths, even DOXXING, which is something I do not accept no matter what.

Yeah, I may not get some labels, but I don't do that! You shouldn't too , you shouldn't go in your way and call people invalid or telling them to d1e what the fuck?

Focus your anger and confusion at the right places, at the amount of conservatives threatening the lives of many trans kids, at how some countries are now calling lgbtq+ rights a "terrorist group". Someone being demi or a masc/fem nonbinary isn't worse than that. If you think it is then there's something up with you

"SAY NO MORE SIR!"

*grabs my leather bag and pulls out a comically long chain of handkerchiefs tied together and a lamp*

"erm one sec it's here somewhere....."

*my hand inside the bag starts glowing and a kitty of light with the gigachad face is in my arms in the simba™ pose*

"alas. Sonic you must bow before the ultimate kitty because you arent ultimate sry chat..😿😞"

"AHA NOW KITH!"

(YAYAYYAAYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYSAYATAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAAYATATATTAATATATTTATATTATATAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYY)

[shadow's inner monologue at that moment went something like this:

Ugh... the... kitty- NO, MUST RESIST- but... the kitty...- NO, SHADOW. IT'S NOT WORTH IT, YOU'LL DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET WHEN YOU'RE OLDER. PEOPLE WILL COME UP TO YOU IN THE FUTURE, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT YOU AND SONIC AREN'T IN A RELATIONSHIP, AND THEY WON'T STOP BOTHERING YOU. IT'S NOT WORTH IT- but the kitty... it's... all of it... the ultimate kitty.... -that does sound pretty cool but you CAN'T SHADOW. REPULSED, REMEMBER? YOU'LL DO IT AND THEN YOU'LL FEEL THAT ANXIOUS FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH THAT GROWS AND GROWS AND YOU JUST FEEL SO OVERWHELMED AND UNCOMFORTABLE AND OH GOD-]

I... I- I- I-

[Sonic gets up from where he's been bowing, expression morphing from a playful flirt to a worried, faltering grin. His eyes train, briefly, on Shadow's chest; it's started to rise and fall at a quicker pace, faster than he's ever seen it- even during all of their races and petty fights.]

Hey, are- are you feeling alright?

[He steps closer to Shadow, but Shadow's expression only morphs further into something closely resembling horror before masking itself quickly with anger.]

GET AWAY FROM ME. I JUST- I just want- ARGH!

[He backs into a 'corner' of the space, curling into a ball.]

You're all the same. You'll force me to do such a thing... when I...

... I think maybe that was a boundary we shouldn't have crossed. Sorry guys, no kisses for Shadow in the near future. Or, uh, judging by that reaction, probably ever. Sooooooo if you don't mind, I'll justttttttt... yep that cat's ours now OK BYE

[EXPLANATION IN THE TAGS -💀]

[meanbossart]

Short hair hater here, I was going to send a message but I jokingly read it out loud (it said something about how I hate it because of my tiny arms) and in the echoes of my own voice I had a rare moment of self realization and ended up in a rabbit hole about saying "my arms are too short" vs "that hair is too short/far away" and how framing things as a deficit with myself vs a problem I can solve subconsciously affects how I view myself in relation to my problems, so I didn't.

Anyway, here's some token hate mail, on anon, as is the tradition. Peace and love ♥️

Ah! Thank goodness. To keep up with tradition, insert some kind of cheap dunk here that took me 4 real-like hours to come up with, but that will seem quirky and snappy to my followers who will mass-reply to this with things such as "lol get his ass" and multiple cry-laughing emojis.

Jokes aside, thank you for the laugh. Take care!

Could you please write something to do with hazel x an autistic reader? (Sorry if this is a strange request)

HAZEL X AUTISTIC!READER

--------------------------------------------------

warnings: nothing! fluff, idk if this is a warning but hazel is also a little autistic coded!

word count: 0.4k

notes: hii tysm for this request anon!! I'm autistic myself so I was already planning on doing this so ty for giving me an excuse to post it! I did this in the form of hc's! if you want a full fic tell me and I'll write it:)

--------------------------------------------------

-so I think that hazel wouldn't know that much about autism, I think she didn't really think she would have to be informed about it

-but when you stared dating she would do sooo much research about it, like she had no idea what a "safe food" was when you told her. then the next day she bought all of your safe foods and just came knocking on your door.

-if your overstimulated in public she obviously has something in her tote bag that could help, whether it's a pair of headphones, a sensory toy or anything that could help she's got it

-she loves hearing about your special interest, like she'll listen to you talk about them for hoursss, like if your special interest is a saga of movies, she'll lay down with you and watch all of them or she'll watch them all by herself so then she can surprise you with information

-she'll bring you small little gifts related to your interest, like pins or necklaces maybe socks, just small cute stuff!!

-if you don't understand sarcasm she's fine with that because neither does she😭 the girl is clueless, a lot of times if you go out in a group and someone says smth sarcastic and neither of y'all get it and you just kinda look at each other confused on why they would say that

-if you only like certain fabrics and she happens to have clothes with that fabric, it's yours now!! whenever she buys you something she makes sure it's not any of your sensory issues, like scratchy shirts? she doesn't even look at them, or shirts that are to tight? she wouldn't even think of buying it for you

-if anyone made fun of you she's defending you hard, like either making them feel embarrassed or just yelling at them😭

-if your burnt out and don't wanna hang out she's giving you all the space you need!! like she'll just wait for you to text her when your feeling energized again

-okay so if you have a meltdown she would try her best to calm you down, if you just need to cry she'll hug you and just let you get it out, or if maybe breathing calms you down she'll do special breathing with you

-she will send you stuff like "you call it autism I call it having that dawg in me" she finds it sooo funny

-if you don't like physical touch she'll only give physical affection if it's like asked for😭 she would hate to make you uncomfortable so she tries to make you the most comfortable person ever, her ways of showing affection if of course gifts but also words of affection, she always tell you how much she loves or how much she's proud of you.

-overall she's the sweetest:')

[ailurophile-rebecca]

Anon who sent the long ask earlier :) hope ur doing ok rn and that you have a good day

Help why are people still hating on you? fuck them it's your blog, you're allowed to dislike people and do what you want, ESPECIALLY because it's fucking jirai kei a community where we should be allowed to be petty and shallow and jealous

"there's a reason why jiraiblr hates you" and then it's just normal fucking jirai behavior :/

I am (or used to be) friends with someone you hate but when they complained about your behavior I was like "...uh??? me too? isn't that just normal jirai things?" like, I understand getting defensive when someone dislikes you but... they were the one who reached out? and you weren't rude about it either you were just saying you disliked them, you didn't tell them to die or anything like that??? I'm sensitive AF to criticism/dislike, so I would probably be unhappy too, but considering your reasons (which are all relatable jirai-culture reasons!!! idk if I'm phrasing this right but ahhh it's just fucking. jirai reasons?!!!) hating you for jirai behavior is stupid... ugh can you tell I've been pissed over this for a while lol

you're literally staying on your own page and venting there and not harassing others, idk why people are complaining when THEY reach out and ask for an explanation... and get one LIKE BITCH YOU ASKED?!!! on your own blog you should be allowed to post "problematic" + "mean" thoughts (AGAIN, GETTING HATE FOR THIS IN THE FUCKING JIRAI COMMUNITY IS CRAZY) and when other people reach out to you, KNOWING YOU DISLIKE THEM, what the fuck do they expect? "oh thanks for asking me why I hate you, I suddenly love everyone now!!!"

people that don't like this blog, GET THE FUCK OUT instead of sending rude asks, those are the people going out of their way to send rude things. they should do what you're doing and vent on their own fucking pages instead of reaching out to you just to send rude things.

stick to your own fucking circles, rude anons!!!

(❄ anon)

So I’m thinking ❄️anon, we should get like married and then like I wear a pretty dress, but it’s not legal marriage, we just have a wedding.

Now you pretty much explained it very well so I’ll put this in the landmine tag..

This is pretty much what I thought too when I got that anon

I’m not really respected anywhere or have a place to vent to people.

Like I never went and bothered others, they can just scroll past my account.

I don’t like anyone, and they are proving why. They don’t listen to me and they don’t care to understand anything about me.

I just said an opinion and they despise me and send me hate for it

I get this isn’t a safe space, but why so mad? It’s not like I went to their accounts and complained.

I’m doing like…pretty good. I didn’t cry in school today so yay!

[boltonbritreads]

I am at the point of truly begging anons to stop sending hate to writers and ruining the ability for people to share their writing and others to get to read and engage with it. It literally just ruins everything for everyone and taints a space that’s supposed to be anything from comfort, escapism, a creative outlet, to hanging out with friends.

truly- what is the goal? what do you get out of pushing writers off the platform and making a fandom have even less engagement? I wish there was a “stop, are you really sure you want to send that message” screen before you could send anons sometimes so bc of that…..

🖤🖤 Eddie Munson Fic Rec List! 🖤🖤

as a reader who gets so much comfort and vital escapism from fanfic I want to just shout out some incredible stories I’ve been following/read lately:

*totally non exhaustive and just what I could remember at work!!* I’m hoping to add more & eventually made a proper list

@munson-blurbs’s “Trapped Under Ice” - truly lovely single dad eddie story that has so much heart and fluff and getting to see Eddie and Ms Sweetheart build their relationship and grow together has been so satisfying and lovely to read

@corroded-hellfire “As You Wish” I can’t even put into words 😩 I’m so down bad for this eddie and this fic and every single time reader gets to gets to spend time with Luke and Ryan and eddie gets even more smitten I melt

@upsidedownwithsteve’s “Simmer”!! I am truly losing my mind over simmer and as a fellow crybaby who just needs that extra comfort sometime, I yearn for Simmer!Eddie. Truly this fic means so much to me and I relate so so much to reader it makes me cry

@pinkrelish “The Yes Policy” - I mean, do I even have to say anything? It’s everything you could ever want and more in an eddie fic and the descriptions and imagery in every chapter my god ♥️🐭

@abibliophobiaa “Daylight” - holy shit I can’t express the itch this fic scratches it’s just the best and an absolute fluffy comfort fest. Lovesick Eddie, Unplanned Pregnancy reader, strangers to friends to lovers, cuddling in bed?? what more can you ask for?? I really love how *spoilers* eddie has accepted his feelings for reader and is just waiting for if/when she decides to go further with him, ball in her court

@sunflowergirl522 - “M’Lady, M’Lord” oh my this was so good and fun to read!! I’m such a sucker for goofy eddie and seeing reader meet him where he is and be playful back is just *chefs kiss*

@ghost-proofbaby - ok so basically anything Ghost has ever written is incredible but my highlights are “24 hours” because of course it is like ?? such a cool concept and the execution was perfection. I haven’t felt like I’m on the edge of my seat week-to-week for a fic in a while and seeing everyone react to each chapter and collectively lose our minds was so fun and something I love about fanfic!! After you’ve read “24 hours,” head on over to “So Scarlet (It was Maroon)” for some angst and pain and then chase it with “Coffee Shop Blues” for cute slice of life at a coffee shop with barista!eddie 🥰

@neonghostlights - “To the Moon & Back” alien eddie!!! I’m loving this series so far and how much fun and tension can be built into the dynamic of alien eddie and reader who have some language/cultural barriers but also like…..eddie gets it 👀👅

@harrywavycurly - there’s truly so much to choose from!! their master list has so much and there’s all kinds of text fics to dip into and a whole universe of Eddie’s! I personally love and am following “Trouble Next Door,” “It Was Just One Night,” and “Eddie’s Wish.” I desperately want TND eddie and reader to just get to smooch and cuddle but uh….I think getting over being cheated on and getting a divorce takes longer than I’d like 🫤

@carolmunson “Orange Coloured Sky” the older!eddie of dreeeeeeams my god 😍 from start to current this story has been so fun to follow and I’m loving the characterisation of this older eddie who is confident and hot but also….such a dork like immediately texting Steve “she said I’m the best she’s ever had 😎” I can’t

@luveline - ok anything and everything Jade has ever written, literally an entire treasure trove of a master list and the obviously heavy hitters are “June Baby!” and the “Eddie and Roan” series for all of the baby fever of reading about eddie and a cute baby but I also wanted to shout out the fic “A Quest for Bed” because it was so gosh darn sweet and fluffy and I love seeing eddie take care of reader once in a while

@trashmouth-richie - again another obvious incredible gorgeous fic “Honey I’m Home,” it’s so so beautiful and heart wrenching and funny and I’m in awe of the compassion and tenderness show towards the characters in this story. I adore HIH with everything but also “Do You Like How the Water Tastes” has been such a fun new story to dig into! I feel like I truly can’t predict what each chapter will be like and I keep being surprised by how Eddie interacts with reader and it makes each new chapter so exciting to read bc I think it’ll go one way and then I’m totally surprised!!

[pearlescentparade]

HI HEY HELLOOO just got here!!! A little late to the party aaghahaha^^"

Firstly I really want to say your works are AMMAAZZIIINNNG like CHEFS KISS MWAH I'm eating EVERY word UP THANK YOU FOR FEEDING US!!!! Also I want to nom nom Winged staff's cheeks why does he look so SQUISHYYYY

Second off all, every anon that keeps sending medkit/subreaderkit hanahaki,,, I really hope you guys know that all of your asks related to hanahaki have shattered my heart into million pieces and I'm crying a river rn BECAUSE I LOVE THE HANAHAKI TROPE AND BOTH SUBSPACE AND MEDKIT ARE MY FAVORITES!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!! AND THAT INCLUDES YOU TOO PARADE YOUR DRABBLES ARE ALSO GUILTY OF THAT!!!!!

That being said!! A fic where reader has the disease because of Subspace! Medkit has to watch them slowly die because his beloved fell in love with someone who destroyed his whole life!! Not only that, but they're also dying!! Of course, he could do the surgery, but I don't think he would do it without their consent. Or maybe he would if he was desperate enough? I don't see him the type to. . . but if he really loved reader? Maybe? He would totally use their memory loss of Subspace and make them hate him, which wouldn't be that hard considering it's Subspace we're talking about. Then Medkit and reader get together and marry and have 5839937483 million children and live happily ever after!!!! Trust!!!

YOURE NEVER TOO LATE FOR THE PARTY!!!

UEUEUE THANK UUU its been a bit since ive gotten a message about my works bc ive been lowk starving u fellas #1 WORST BLOG TO HAVE AS A PARENT AWARD GOES TO PEARLESCENTPARADE!!!! but with how a lot of asks i end up writing a little smth in response ig i still am writing awuagah

anon u would ABSOLUTELY fall for winged staff's trickery IM SORRY,,, the squishy cheeks are how he gets u to come closer so he can snatch u😈😈😈

ALL THE HANAHAKI ASKS HAVE JUST MADE ME DEPRESSED. I SEE AN ASK START WITH "smth smth hanahaki" AND IK IM GONNA HBE TO LOOK AT IT WHEN I GET HOME. but its okay when i do it bc its fun to write it!!! hehe!!! 😁

ohhohooh and HANAHAKI SUBREADERKIT,,,, HEH,,, DONT MIND IF I DO 😈😈😈🙏 i could honestly see medkit going either way! he could either let you his beloved have your decision, and respect it and let you have your autonomy (unlike what he had in blackrock, so naturally he wants it for you) in your last moments but not without harshly accosting you for your attachment,,,, or he could decide that a life like yours shouldnt be given up for a demon like subspace: he's already taken enough lives as it stands,,, and besides it's not so bad if you don't remember subspace anyway, right? it's the job of a medic to cure their patient, isn't it?? it's what he tells himself, poor and immoral and pathetic justifications, when he stares at your sleeping expression in your shared bed at night

hey isnt it funny how no matter what medkit does, he's still a complete coward?? either not being strong enough to convince you to live on your own accord or chanting arguments for why performing surgery on you against your knowledge was okay and not totally selfish of him to take you for his..... atp i think i sound like a medkit hater with how much i dog on him BUT TRUST. I LOVE HIM

word count -> 1k/1164! I didnt write as much on this post sorry!! im pretty tired rn its 1:15 am where im at rn LMAOOO

"Are you alright?"

Fuck your life, you just came back to the house after a long, grueling, shitty shift. You were so tired you almost collapsed onto the snow before you even made it home. You just wished it was peaceful for once, that you didn't feel burnt out, overwhelmed all the time, you just wanted to sleep and never wake up, maybe then you wouldn't feel so tired. As you opened the door you placed your bag on the couch and made your way to San's room, who was not only your best friend but your boyfriend as well. He always helped you, even though you didn't particularly enjoy talking about your feelings to him especially on nights like this he was always there for you, always making sure you were okay and took care of yourself and had a good rest after these long days. You mumbled to yourself as you opened the door to his room until you realized. "Fuck he's not here." You grumbled. You rubbed your temple as you sat on his bed, you were stressed and you needed him. Why can't he just be there for you? Why does he always have to be off somewhere else and then appear late whenever you need him. It pissed you off even more, you knew you were thinking irrationally, he was always there for you it's only a few times where he can't be and is busy, you were just too stressed to think properly though, too stressed to even think about anything else besides how badly you just need someone to help you out right now. You crawled on top of his bed, covering yourself with the blanket. The shift was honestly terrible, many customers were overly rude at Grilby's today, mostly newcomers, and it was so damn busy you couldn't really do much about those people/monsters, you were so frustrated by all the orders and all the insults thrown your way, in fact you got way less tips than usual which caused you to be even more upset, money wasn't much of a problem but come on! Tears swelled up in your eyes from all the built up frustration from not just this shift, but all the past shifts that were almost the exact same situation, you hated working on those days and how underemployed that place was because you had to work twice as hard due to that as well.

After a good 10 minutes of you laying on the bed, muttering to yourself about all the stuff that happened and about how much you just needed someone for once and crying silently, you heard the door creak open. You wiped away your tears quickly with the blanket, shifting slightly and pretending to fall asleep. You knew it was sans and if he sees you like this he'd ask, and you don't want to bother him with any of your problems. "I know you're not asleep." Sans said walking up to you, he sat on the bed near you. "What happened?" he asked. You let out a sigh as you hugged the blanket tighter. "I don't want to talk about it." You grumbled, your tone annoyed with a hint of sadness. Sans stared at you for a bit before fixing your hair. "Are you sure? I mean you've been coming home more upset than usual, is work alright? Anything happening?" Sans questioned, his tone of voice growing more concerned. You furrowed your brows as you could feel the corners of your eyes sweet up with tears once more. You covered yourself with the blanket, not even daring to look at Sans. "Stop it, just STOP. I told you I'm fine! You don't have to pry into every little detail of my life I just want you here with me I don't want you digging into this I told you I'm fine, I just wanted you here with me, fuck." you yelled at first, calming your voice down as to not wake up Papyrus and to try to calm yourself down. Your voice cracks, you didn't really mean to come off as rude, you're just tired, you don't want him to get worried or to try and fix your problems, you just want him there with you, to give you a hug or just give you comforting words, you don't want him prying too much into this, you don't want him getting worried.

Sans seemed taken aback by your remark. He stayed quiet for a bit before nodding, he understood how you felt. Everyone has different ways they deal with this situation and how they want others to react, some want others to pry into their life and try to help solve their problems, others just want them to be there with them during this but not get too involved in the situation and many other things, everyone reacts differently to this much stress. Of course he was a bit shocked and to be honest a little hurt by your words but he knows you're just stressed and don't mean to be rude. He truly does understand, he knows how you feel, so he will be there for you. "You're obviously not fine, but I understand you don't want me to be involved in the situation, you just want me to be there for you, I understand." Sans replied, he gave you a comforting pat on the shoulder before laying with you on the bed. He let out a long sigh as he crossed his arms behind his head. "Take some deep breathes, that usually helps with stress, and make sure to sleep well." Sans said, you nodded. "Come on, let's take a few deep breathes." Sans said, you rolled your eyes but it does usually help. You did as he said and took a few small and quick deep breathes, trying to make the tension in your body disappear and just try to relax. "Feeling any better?" Sans asked, you shook your head no which caused him to chuckle a bit. "Yeah I kinda thought so. Deep breathes won't immediately make you feel bette but it helps with tension, for now just rest, cry if you want, I'm here for you alright... I won't judge you for being emotional okay. I love you too much for that." Sans said giving a reassuring hand on your shoulder. You nodded, you turned your head to face him and give him a small smile. "I appreciate that.." you muttered, he gives you a quick nod. "No need to do that, just rest, I'm here for you. No matter what happens remember that okay, I'll always be here for you." Sans replied, he wrapped an arms around you, pulling you closer. You let out a soft sigh as you moved closer to him, you closed your tired eyes and felt yourself slowly start to fall asleep in his arms. He kept his arm wrapped around you and watched you slowly fall asleep.

"Sleep well, I'm here, okay."

[deepdeanvsweston]

oh thanks for answering my George/Hazel ask (and wow those are great)! if you’re still answering for the mmu ask game, what would ur answers be for 17 and/or 18? also, for 30, there was a post about the dss ending, is there anything in particular you don’t like about it?

That's perfectly alright! I had so much fun answering idk if you could tell I'm really into the ship /j

I am ALWAYS answering the MMU ask game!

17. Least favourite canon ship (including past ones)

Hmmm I did have to think for this one! There's nothing I particularly hate with every fibre of my being sort of thing, but I'm saying Daisy x Amina. She was in 2 books max, and I felt I didn't really get to know her very well and also that the fandom was forced to make things up about her as opposed to simply doing it for fun. Additionally, it felt to me that Daisy was written as needing to have a girlfriend by the end of the series to consolidate her being a lesbian, which I also didn't like. In essence, their relationship moved too fast for me.

However, I can very well see the potential and think if Amina had been introduced earlier and they'd been academic rivals to lovers (NOT enemies to lovers mind you I despise that trope) I could well get on board with it.

18. Least favourite noncanon ship

Again, I don't hold particularly strong negative feelings for ships I don't like, apparently just really strong positive feelings for the ones I do! But if I had to pick one, probably Kitty/Beanie. I just find them as a ship a bit boring, though if someone were to write a passionate post being like "HERES WHY THEY WOULD WORK!!!" I might be swayed.

30. Free space!!! Ask anything MMU related :)

And in anon's case they've asked why I don't like the ending of DSS.

Do not get me started I dislike it so much and it makes me slightly uncomfortable??? Listen,,, I LOVE MMU I think everyone who sees my blog can tell this however this grates on me deeply. I HATE HATE HATE how all 4 of the main detectives were paired up at the end. There was no need for it and it felt forced, especially Lavinia (comphet queen in my, and trust me when I say this, professional opinion) and George. Hazel and Alex I can cope with fine. It had been building up and hinted at and so makes logical sense (I don't like the way it was done though as I think what Hazel needed then was not a bf but just friends there to support her). Daisy and Amina felt rushed too, like they had 2 books in which even their interactions were brief. Really felt like it was pushing the fact that Daisy had to have a gf to be verified as a lesbian, as explained above. George imo was soooo ooc to be like "rip Daisy, soz Hazel, but uhhh. Yeah. I wanna wife one of your dormmates up" especially as he usually seems so in tune with what's going on around him, as seen notably in DITS:

"It's not difficult to work out!" George protested, shrugging his shoulders. "Bridget looks rushed. I can smell beef tea boiling. Hazel looks tired, she doesn't have her handkerchief in her pocket and Daisy isn't here. Daisy can't be dead, otherwise Hazel would be crying with her handker chief in her hand. But, if Daisy were simply ill, it would explain the beef tea and Bridget and Hazel would have sat up worrying about Daisy all night, and given Daisy her handkerchief when hers were all used up. See? Elementary."

I suppose it could be blamed on grief but idk.

It also grates on me because of the kind of message it's sending, especially as the book series target demographic is 9-12??? Like 'oh no the book series is ending! All the 15/16 year old teenagers have to be paired up because they can't have satisfying endings otherwise!!!' but also I'm arospec so that is going to give me a biased view, but still.

[brother-lipsmackariah]

Jem Carstairs!

Now, be ready for LONG post, anon. You can't just ask about Jem and expect to be brief

Sexuality headcanon

Definitely Demisexual. With Tessa, I always felt like Jem became attracted to her AFTER they were already close friends and besides that one line in After the Bridge, there's no signs of Jem being attracted to anyone. He also doesn't even think of anyone besides Tessa in that, he's too oblivious.

Also, not a sexuality but I ADORE the idea of Non-binary Jem

OTP

Jem x Himself (literally and metaphorically both). While I love Jessa and until recently, didn't ship Jem with anyone else, I don't believe Tessa loves him as much as she loves W*ll, CC wrote her that way and tid books are proof.

The only person good enough for Jem is HIMSELF.

BROTP

Jem and Church, my soulmates!!!!

And even though I hate W*ll, I love Heronstairs. Well, to be specific, I love how dedicated W*ll is to Jem.

Brother Zachariah and Brother Enoch are also cute.

NOTP

Heronstairs as a romantic ship is a big No. Just no. Let people have close platonic relationships for fuck's sake.

First headcanon that pops into my head

Jem posts violin covers + his original songs on Tiktok, Instagram, and YouTube and his comment section is filled with people trying their best (and failing) to respectfully thirst over him.

Later when Mina does the same, and posts videos with her dad, HER comment section is "can your dad fight"

Oh and he's very kinky

Favorite line from this character

So, SO many to the point he would simply say "hm" and I would cry of happiness.

But the ones that that pop into my head rn are "my apologies" *corset rip* "to antiquity"

"We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss."

"She could be anything she pleased. She was everything already."

"You hurt everyone. Everyone whose life you touch." And "Alone? Whose fault is that?" (DESTROY HIM, JEM)

"Unless there were secret Silent Brother orgies I wasn't invited to. I always worried I might not have been popular"

"If you insist. W-H-O"

One way in which I relate to this character

Our love for cats, our inability to let go of things, our insecurity. While there are some similarities, Jem is the opposite of me in many ways, and that is one of the reasons why I can love him so much. Everything I am not.

The thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Jem. My love, my darling. My Jian Ming.....LOOK IN THE DAMN MIRROR!!

Sometimes, I think someone has put a curse on him to never see his beauty because WHAT THE HELL?? He can recognise everyone's beauty but not his own? I think he might need glasses.

Oh, and sometimes he's so fucking horny, like geez

Cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

The furthest from problematic a character has EVER been

Send me a character and I'll answer these questions

[headmate-aquarium]

Hi there, welcome to the headmate aquarium! We're a pro-endo anti-radqueer blog dedicated to helping you create headmates and providing other things for your system! Here we have:

Headmate packs - Get a name, pronouns, personality, look, etc for a headmate! This is helpful for creating new headmates or helping find identities for already existing headmates. Be sure to specify if there's anything you do or don't want (for example, if you don't want your headmate to use she/her or any related pronouns, tell us that!)

Headmate inspo - Get a moodboard, outfit inspo, etc for your headmate! This can be for headmates you're going to create or for already existing ones. Please be specific with this and at least give a general idea of what kind of aesthetic you want (for example, something like "can I have some masculine or androgynous pink-themed outfits?" or "can I have a red space-themed moodboard for a headmate?")

Userboxes - Get userboxes for profiles, intro posts, etc! Just say what you want the userbox to say and what aesthetic/colors you want it to have (examples of our userboxes are at the bottom of this post)

Icons - Get an icon for your headmate! Either provide an image or a character (you can use picrew, and if you don't want to come off anon you can upload the image to catbox.moe and send the link) and whether you want pride flags (please don't ask for more than 8 flags) or just a normal background, and if you want the icon to be a specific shape

NPTs - "NPT" stands for "names, pronouns, titles"! Get name, pronoun, and title ideas for your headmates or your system/collective as a whole. You can also ask for system names and usernames, but we default to just names, pronouns, and titles. Please specify what sort of aesthetic you want and whether you want names to be masculine, feminine, and/or unisex (for example "can I have some NPTs and usernames related to fire? any gender is fine")

[namgyunation]

I'm not the anon who sent the ask abt nam-gyu crying but I did send an ask abt nam-gyu and addiction (so plz feel free to put this with that one if it's easier for you, im just a yapper), and talked abt how we have has some similar experiences and now I saw that other ask and gurrrrlllll not you hitting me in the feelings with the things you think would make him cry being the things that make me cry aka death, abandonment, and insecurity (I had a severe eating disorder growing up and still fight against my inner monologue abt my appearance to this day). Those are the things I could see making him cry too ngl. And I have the same headcanon as you that his childhood was harsh/his family relations are probably strained or they're not in contact. (And that kind of thing can really factor into addictions)

I actually do have a question for you now though lmao sorry to yap moreee but I hc him as bisexual as well, I don't even have a specific reason, it just feels right for me. (I hc thanos this way also tbh) and I see that you do as well and I'm excited because I didn't see anyone else hc him as bo, only gay. My question: do you think he is OK with that or do you think he has a physical attraction to thanos and is aware of it and mad abt that too because he hasn't accepted his sexuality?

<33 hello again!!!!!! plsssplspls yap to me omg i love yappers <3333 :]

ik you sent this back on march 2nd but i hope you're still around to see this reply... pls feel free to hmu again if you do <3

i'm glad that we share a lot of the same headcanons and that you enjoyed that post i made!!!! stick around bc i really wanna write out more headcanons about what i feel like his home life growing up would've been like for him. and completely agree that that kind of thing really factors into addictions. not gonna get into it too much in this post (feel free to dm me / send more asks if you wanna discussm more headcanons), but i totally believe by the time the games roll around, he is no longer talking to any of his family members / is estranged from his family. drug usage is so extremely stigmatized in korea (even just weed), and nam-gyu is out here doing everythingggg. no way dude has a support system or family looking out for him

and omg YAYYYY more bi nam-gyu truthers!!!!! i swear, there's definitely way more people out there that hc nam-gyu as bi. ppl r just more quiet about it bc ik it's rather popular to hc him as gay or say something like "i couldn't possibly see nam-gyu with a woman" or "he hates women so much he wouldn't be attracted to one" etc. etc. anyways.

"My question: do you think he is OK with that or do you think he has a physical attraction to thanos and is aware of it and mad abt that too because he hasn't accepted his sexuality?"

but yes yes to get back to your question, i view him as bi, and if he were to be bi fr, i think he would 100% be closeted. i'm gonna try to not let my own headcanons and bias leak in here while i talk about my rationale lol and just to try to stick to what little information we're given in canon.

so again, in canon, we clearly see that he desperately wants to be perceived in a certain way by others. he wants to fit in, doesn't want to be seen as weak. that's like a reallyyy big thing about him. won't go too deeply into it again bc i think i've done that like 100x in all my other posts where i talk about his character, lmao.

and to clarify, what i'm gonna say here about sexuality and gender is not indicative of my own views, just how i'd feel nam-gyu would view it based on his character.

obligatory acknowledgment to everyone reading that these are all my own interpretations, everyone pls have fun and headcanon what you want. nam-gyu is not real

CW: mentions of internalized homophobia ahead; if that upsets you don't read this

anyway, nam-gyu seems like the perfect image of 'toxic masculinity.' quick reiteration of something i said in another post, but like. he's so overly aggressive for no reason and is always going after and trying to assert himself over min-su, someone he perceives as weak: quiet, shy, timid, nervous. he refuses to let himself cry after watching thanos bleed out, despite that being a very valid reason to, and he gets extremely snappy, sensitive, and defensive the second se-mi makes even the slightest comment that pokes a hole in the confident, strong, tough guy image that he tries to build up in front of the rest of the team during the pentathlon.

with how insecure he is and the fact that this extreme insecurity is such a big, emphasized part of his character, i really do not see him being open and honest with others about his sexuality if he were to be anything other than straight. tbh, i wouldn't even see him wanting to be honest with himself lmao.

he's full of so much resentment and is constantly repressing his true feelings and trying to mold himself to appear a certain way to others. because of this, i think that in the hc of him being bi or gay, realistically, he would be extremely repressed. i could even see him having a lot of internalized homophobia, frustration, and anger towards himself and repressing that part of his sexuality. every time we see him, he's so extremely hateful to everyone around him, even thanos to an extent, as we see the resentment he feels towards him rise bc of the continued disrespect lmao (though he keeps that inside bc he wants thanos to like him). i could see him directing a lot of that hatred at himself, too. he's also sooo hyper-aware of how he's being perceived by others all the time, as well.

with how emotionally constipated and insecure he is, i barely even see him admitting his sexuality to himself, let alone be open about it. i don't think he'd want to accept that part of himself, or at the very least, like you said, be extremely mad and frustrated at himself for it.

also repeating something i've said before, but with how nam-gyu acts, bro likely did not have a warm, supportive, and communicative home life. i think it's a safe assumption to make that someone that acts like that: mean, angry, resentful, with a history of "being disrespected his whole life" likely did not have many people close to him that he could trust or be vulnerable with a topic as sensitive as that, especially considering how extremely stigmatized it is to be lgbt in korea and how normalized it is to be openly hostile towards gay people over there, which is further emphasized in the show itself, seeing how the prejudice hyun-ju faced for being a transwoman was shown repeatedly throughout s2.

so. nam-gyu hates the idea of being seen as weak, hates the idea of being associated with / being friends with people he views as weak (shown by his bullying of min-su and aggression when min-su tries to "talk to him like they're friends" in that one scene in mingle), likely holds the idea that women are naturally weaker than men (a belief that we see is held by a lot of the men in squid game, including both main and side characters from s1 and s2; such as sang-woo and deok-su when making teams for tug of war and one of extras in s2 gi-hun's huddle before lights out. with nam-gyu specifically, this is shown in his reluctance to recruit se-mi without knowing if the game would require strength).

with all that, i don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that nam-gyu is the type of dude to think of femininity = weakness.

also, quick side tangent, but with the femininity = weakness thing, that's also partly the reason why i'm not the biggest fan of how he gets feminized when put into a relationship with thanos. not that there's anything wrong with having fun and making jokes, and obv the "omg he's my malewife princess cunty diva queen i'm gonna get him pregnant <3" thing is a fandom joke that's been around forever, so i'm acknowledging that. but with nam-gyu it just feel like it straight up just goes against a big part of his character and personality, to the point where i'm like. okk he would not do that, and the character isn't even nam-gyu at that point. i think this is also present in how people treat gi-hun as well, but i will not go there lmao

based on his behavior throughout s2, it's clear to see that he has the constant desire to come off to other people as this big, strong, confident, intimidating dude. i just think it's highly unlikely that he'd wear anything feminine or allow himself to publically do anything that he thinks could make him come off as weak, feminine, or just stand out to others in a way that differs from the norm that puts him in a position to be judged negatively. i could really see him thinking that femininity is synonymous with weakness, and his whole thing is that he HATES being seen as weak.

nam-gyu is a disrespectful, resentful asshole that exhibits toxic / fragile masculinity throughout all of s2. i find it extremely plausible that he'd be the type of dude to hold the problematic view of inherently associating homosexuality with femininity (despite gender expression and sexuality obviously being two completely different things), and thus, weakness, especially considering homosexuality is commonly considered to be a deviation from traditional masculinity. i just can't see him being out and open about that part of himself if he were to experience that kind of attraction. i think he'd hate himself for it.

does all that i said make sense lmfao.... it's midnight and i'm tired, but i'm just gonna post this lol. i honestly think i deviated far from what you asked and just started talking about why i hc him as closeted no matter if he were to be bi or gay.

and just to touch on the thanos part of your ask really quick: i'm acknowledging my bias here real quick, because i personally prefer to see them as bros. however, idk it can be interpreted both ways lol, i think it's just up to the viewer at that point to determine if nam-gyu was physically attracted to thanos or if he was just fanboying and clout-chasing after this cool celebrity that he clearly was a huge fan of.

no matter how it's interpreted, i personally think that if nam-gyu were to be romantically attracted to thanos, he'd be mad at himself for it and try to ignore it.

tdlr: i hc nam-gyu as bi, but 100% closeted. he exhibits a lot of toxic masculinity and fragility through his actions and things he says. he's always trying to maintain a certain strong, confident image of himself to others, and is hyper-aware of how he's perceived by others. because of that, i really don't think he'd allow himself to publically deviate from the 'norm' of what's considered masculine. this, plus taking into account how normalized it is to be openly critical of lgbt people in korea (something that's highlighted in s2), if he were to be bi / gay, i doubt he'd be honest about it to anyone, let alone himself. just look at how angry and repressed he is about everything, how he bullies the living shit out of min-su for being 'weak', for not fitting what he deems as 'masculine'. i think nam-gyu'd be mad at himself for it and refuse to admit it. he's not okay with a lot of things about himself and the people around him. i personally do not see him being accepting of his own sexuality, either.

ANDDD quick disclaimer. this is how i hc him but IN THE SHOW / in my own personal namgyuverse in my head. in a fanon, having fun and writing fics and making art and memes sense, WHO GAFFFFF.

also!!!!! i will answer the first part of your ask separately :) thank you for the kind message and taking the time to send me it, seriously!!!! hopefully i don't take too long again </3

[catb-fics]

I just saw that message anon send you about the bond betweet the band and fans and sometimes I just wonder how can Van not see how shitty this whole behaviour is and I don’t mean delaying the album so much its mostly about the lack of communication and just cancelling shows 10 minutes before the start. Sure a lot of groups do that and then don’t give a shit but as someone who never seemed distant from fans I found it hard to understand. Then again I do imagine he’s been going through some bad stuff and that must be one of the main reasons but still how can you not think “oh people must be getting tired of all this shit”. And I only think about this because I want nothing but the best and it just gets me so sad seeing the hate they receive im just like come do something to bring some peace.

But yeah im not expecting things to be like they were 10 years ago it would be unrealistic just you know a bit better i guess. The one thing that gave me hope was seeing how happy Van was last year when he got into a stage again didnt last much but god i hope this year will turn out different (for all of our sakes)

Oh and yeah honestly just coming here and talk about literally anything catb related definitely helps to stay on board at least it help me this past few months to get involved again after a few years apart so i really appreciate your blog (and your writing haha)

Yeah I feel all this too, it’s really hard seeing all the shitty comments when you think how differently things could have been handled but we have no idea what really went on behind the scenes, I think Van has had to step away to face his demons and work through his own problems. It was so good seeing a glimpse of the old Van back on stage loving performing but it might be a completely different story off stage. I just hope he can come back from it as the band is his literal life and his music brings so many people joy.

Aww thank you love I appreciate you all on here too, having somewhere to come and talk and laugh and cry about stuff has been so nice and def been the main thing to keep me so invested in catb and our boy for all these years 💗 xxx

[elderwisp]

Interesting discussion I there’s a fine line between someone copying someone’s original idea/take and two people doing generic ideas. Which can get nuanced but I have noticed just in the times of social media people do seem to confuse the line. Not simblr related but I did see this happen on TikTok. A popular diy tiktoker posted a TikTok diying an expensive wavy mirror for less. A smaller creator and also fan of that TikToker posted her own version of diying the wavy mirror. The popular tiktoker saw the video and immediately made a video blasting the very small creator to her viewers and accused her of copying. With the very small creator having less than 10 times the amount of followers she stood no chance in defending herself and was met with so much harassment and hate from the other girls fans that she couldn’t possible handle as a small account. It wasnt until the small creator posted a video of herself distressed and crying where she stated she was just a fan who saw a creator she like make something and wanted to do it herself people finally realized she did nothing wrong. But like here’s the thing the bigger creator literally did not create the wavy mirror it was made by another company and she literally made a dupe of it neither does she own the diy genre. I think it’s impossible to just accuse someone of copying a basic idea multiple people have had. And the smaller creator was just inspired their videos were very different and the only thing in common was “diying a wavy mirror” so I would say not copying especially when that wasn’t even the popular creators idea either. Also the bigger creators was way bigger with over 500k followers while the other girl only had 10k it just seemed like an organized attack on someone vulnerable. Very much bullying and harassment to blast the smaller creators name and face onto her account. I share this story cause this isn’t unique to TikTok and I’m sure it has happened on simblr at some point too. (Long ah message but I wanted to join in)

actually something similar like this did happen not too long ago. it was basically a compilation of anons attacking a simblr's blog (unfortunately i don't have a name but i did rb the post) talking about how this group talks so much shit about her and that she's a joke just because there are similarities between her blog and another aesthetic-wise and mind you, this is the same as this message, a simple idea. i think to go as far as to consistently send hate in a mob mentality way warrants some serious time away from the internet. i feel like having a platform has given people the desire and easy ability to be heard rather than taking a second to reflect on what you say could do some damage.

[merrycrisis-if]

sorry if this is silly but you have no idea of how emotional this game makes me - like... every update I end up crying rivers and rivers, and I mean this in the best way possible. I love it, your writing is touching and beautiful, and merry crisis is easily one of my favorite ifs/games in general ever.

I am queer, live in an small island and it's one of the most catholic places in the country, so mc and their experiences is so relatable that it hurts.. the family problems and the inability of letting go because they're your family regardless and you still love them. the looming fear of not being accepted and the undeniable truth that perhaps you will never be enough. of loving and hating the place where you live/lived, of not having a home but still feeling like you're a part of that place. The controversy and conflict in general.

And don't even get me started on qiu. Oh my freaking god, Qiu is just. One of the best characters ever?? I love all your characters, but he is just so special to me; perhaps because I can see both my present self and my past one in him, and his relationship with MC is just... the angst. the pain. it's amazing, really. I cry everytime, and I keep replaying this game almost religiously lol. The primal urge of every child to please their parents, regardless of how they are, the thing of taking people for granted just because they're so special that it's unfathomable the idea of you losing them, and god, losing people because of your parents or just because of the seemingly impossibility of losing them. Everything.

The settings are so good as well, you can easily picture the places and the mood, even if you know little to nothing about Singapore or NY.

Even the characters that aren't the main ones are incredibly fleshed out, and they feel like real people.

Sorry for the long ask that isn't even an ask, but I really wanted to say all of this. Thank you for this game, truly!

The family problems and the inability of letting go because they're your family regardless and you still love them. the looming fear of not being accepted and the undeniable truth that perhaps you will never be enough. of loving and hating the place where you live/lived, of not having a home but still feeling like you're a part of that place. The controversy and conflict in general.

The primal urge of every child to please their parents, regardless of how they are, the thing of taking people for granted just because they're so special that it's unfathomable the idea of you losing them

Oh my godddd anon you get it :''))))

I love you, and I love that you love the game. Sending you lots of good vibes! I'll be in my corner on the universe, figuring out my shit, rooting you on as you figure out your shit! :)

P.S. Small island people are the best people. Yeah, I said it :P Fun fact: did you know, everyone I've ever loved has been from a small island? Yep.

[lynne-monstr]

hi it's the anon who's stopping by, I hope you're doing well! I can't really say the same for myself unfortunately, I've been doing pretty badly lately. I'm starting to feel hopeless and like I've ruined my life and that's how it will always be from now on, even though objectively I know that can't be true. surely ten years from now my life will be completely different from how it is now, and I'm only in my mid twenties, I'm only getting started. but yeah although my brain knows that (sometimes), I still feel terrible... although right now I feel stuck and don't know what to do to improve my situation, hopefully things will get better, and hopefully they'll get better soon.

anyway I'm sorry for being a downer in your inbox. I did want to say thank you for your tips on making nice salads. I haven't had much of a chance to give them a try yet, but I will, and what you said about identifying what the problem is really helped me figure out why I don't like salads and potential ways to address it.

as always thank you for being such a nice and positive force on my dashboard, I always enjoy seeing your posts! I hope you have been enjoying the summer and getting to wear your summer wardrobe, I think you mentioned that last time I wrote! have a nice rest of the week!

hi there anon! i'm so sorry to hear everything is crappy right now.

I can definitely relate to experiencing that gap between knowing something and believing in it. it's a frustrating headspace to be in. i hope it's helpful rather than being annoying to hear, but I know many people who didn't start down their current life path until their 30s or 40s. you're so right about life being different in 10+ years. definitely still lots of time for good things to happen. i'm sending lots of happy thoughts your way! i hope things get better soon💙💙

and yes, I'm enjoying the summer, thanks! i love cute skirt weather and balcony weather and flip flops weather. and it's nice to be able to run outside again. i know a lot of people hate the heat but i prefer it to the freezing cold so i'm very happy right now (even if my air conditioning bill makes me want to cry).

thank you for the nice words. it's lovely to hear that my silly ramblings can help brighten someone's day. it's been a rough year and the positivity is hard-won. i'm going to keep taking it one day at a time and, until proven otherwise, will continue to assume/hope that each new day is a good one.
