god i just love fangans so much man. seeing people coming together to create something inspired by something they're all passionate about, seeing everyone have different takes and ideas on a similar concept is just so cool and amazing and i hope people never stop making fangans or if they are in the middle of making one they don't give up, because i love them and i know thousands of other people love them too :D

[over-fen-and-field]

The religion section of my bookshelf has been growing more quickly as of late (something about the spring and autumn always gets me, I don't quite know why), and I am growing so tired of the incredible condescension toward anyone who leaves the faith community of their upbringing or heritage, either to join another tradition or to seek a secular life.

Most often, the 'failure' (and it's always framed as a failure) seems to be pinned on the individual as a sort of shallowness -- that they don't adequately understand their own tradition and if they'd delved deeper into such-and-such or so-and-so, they would have inevitably found renewed interest and commitment, or that they're too enmeshed in their day-to-day life and comforts to accept the inconveniences, discomforts, etc. that arise from maintaining a practice and/or holding the mental and spiritual space their tradition requires, or that they're merely giving into social pressure. In other cases, the authors gesture toward institutional failures -- inadequate outreach and programming (particularly for young adults or families without children), lack of support for struggling members, refusal to change with the times and address the anxieties and joys of their members, etc.

Certainly, both of these things can be true, and I don't mean to say that they aren't, but I wish the authors of the books I've been reading would leave some space for the simple fact that different things work for different people. If, after serious consideration of their own innermost desires and their relationship to their faith and associated community, someone finds themselves seeking a better fit for their values, sense of community, or other priorities, that seems like something that should be congratulated. Maybe they'll find that what they wanted was there all along and reaffirm their commitment to their tradition, maybe they'll find something else fits them, maybe they'll find that they need to step outside of faith communities to meet a certain need, in whatever degree each of these might entail -- regardless, good on them for being willing to explore themselves and the richness of the world around them!

Inevitably, questions of faith, belonging, and seeking are complicated and bring up a lot of difficult feelings and history, especially in marginalized or persecuted communities who've had to fight to maintain their faith and traditions, but that means you need a complicated and compassionate answer to them, stemming from a place that seeks to understand the range of individuals' experiences and desires rather than to immediately condemn them. No one tradition is going to work for everyone, and in any tradition, there's beauty and love to be found and nurtured.

Have You Read This MCYT Fic?

Inspired by @haveyoureadthisfanfic! Banner art by @wassup-its-e

Submission Form | MCYT Fanfic List | Example Post

Any MCYT Fandom is allowed. This blog intends to be Non-RPF, so remember that the fics are about the characters not the creators. If you don't like something about the fics or polls, just keep scrolling. You are not required to interact with content that you don't wish to see.

This blog also doesn't care about what the content of the fic is, meaning fics can range from general audiences to explicit, and from fluff to graphic violence, and more. It is the creator's responsibility to tag correctly and it is your responsibility to heed the tags as warnings. Stay safe the best you can, and avoid/block/filter out topics and/or tags that you don't want to engage in.

Reblogs and the like will not be monitored closely, and this blog is not responsible for the actions of others. That being said, please do not put down (say negative things about) a fic, that fic's author, or fans of that fic. I do not care to see it, nor does anyone else, so only comment and/or interact if what you have to contribute is positive.

The posts will also include the author's Tumblr @ and a tag with their username if it is known. If the fic author's Tumblr is unknown, or if the fanfiction doesn't have a username attached, the post will be tagged with "author unknown". If you know the @ of an author, please share in the ask box or dm me, and I will update the fanfic list and the associated Tumblr post.

If you’re the author of a submitted fic, you have been pinged to 1) remind you that people like your fics 2) give you creator credit 3) promote your blog! If you don’t want to have your @ on a post, tell me which one you would like your @ removed from, and I’ll remove it. Remember that the majority of the votes are probably going to say they haven’t read the fic, but that’s okay! Focus on the facts that someone liked the fic enough to submit it and that there are people that have/plan to now.

Please try not to submit a fic someone else has already submitted! If there are repeats, I apologize, but there is no way I'm going to catch them all, or remember that the name is on the list people have so kindly made, so oh well; it's not the end of the world. I will try though. That being said, I have set this blog up with a queue, so there should be ~5 polls/recs posted a day, give or take.

If you have positive things to say about the fic, feel free to reblog the poll with its link as a recommendation, but I highly suggest leaving a comment on the author's work if you like it! Fanfic authors write these masterpieces for free, so the least we as readers can do is comment and/or kudos/like/etc!

MCYTblr Fanwork Ramble event: share the link to a mcyt creation either you or someone else made, mention the creator, and ramble about the fanwork in this blog's ask box!

[jilyawards]

I think people have legitimate concerns about the awards since every year there seems to be some kind of drama that often results in people leaving the fandom.

The responses to these anons have been passive aggressive and defensive and have only fuelled the flames without taking into account the history of these awards and the ways people have been hurt by them before. You might be new to running the awards, but the awards have a long history that honestly hasn't always been good.

As mods you're hiding behind anonymity, which I understand considering the hate that the mods have received in the past, but it does add to the level of distrust around the awards and if you're so scared of getting hate about a project that you won't put your name to it, isn't that a sign that maybe it's time to let that project go?

It also means I don't feel like I can send you a message that's not anon because I don't know who I'm speaking with and there's no opportunity for open discourse.

We understand people have had issues with how the awards were run in the past - that is an unfortunate fact we inherited when we took ownership of the blog. We can not change the past. We can only operate in the present so we did all we could within our power to make it as fair and fun a process as we possibly could:

We turned the awards blog into a year round thing, we accepted any fic that came in so long as it was Jily. We posted those recs every single month without fail.

We offered the ability to opt out - something that has been used historically - so anyone who wanted to opt out for whatever reason could. We said we didn’t need a reason, we didn’t ask for one because we respect peoples opinions and want to opt out. We even extended the branch to those who opted out last year but hadn’t messaged in this year to say they wanted to opt out again just in case someone forgot.

We offered even more categories for the chance at more opportunities to be named - so that those who write long vs short fics weren’t overshadowed. I will stand and name myself as one of the people running this year if it puts and end to this unnecessary back and forth with an anonymous person or persons. You are welcome to come and DM me.

I Ray, @charmsandtealeaves have been doing my best for this fandom for the better part of the past two years.

I’m sorry if you read our response as passive aggressive. I’ve stated that we wanted to be firm on our stance so you can interpret that as defensive if you want - because of course as one of the people behind the scenes doing all the admin hours I obviously think this venture is worthwhile. I haven’t won an award but I did enjoy the experience of seeing nominations and hyping up my friends. Which is why I stepped up when Ava left. I haven’t been around long enough to know the years of fandom drama and history behind a silly little awards thing, or who has apparent beef with whom - and frankly I don’t care. I’m here to read, write and share Jily fic.

The anon expressed concerns about people’s mental health over not winning. Mental health is a genuine concern and I am a massive advocate for it. However, I still believe if you only exist to create to win one of these awards then you’re creating for the wrong reason. And if you are upset because you weren’t nominated for an award - there is the option to nominate yourself and always has been because nominations are anonymous we don’t release how many times someone was nominated because that doesn’t matter it only takes one - if not being nominated is enough to leave the fandom over it… then I’m sorry but that’s something you personally need to work on and maybe you should start seeing this (being writing fic) for what it is - a hobby done for free and for fun.

I continued the anonymity left by Ava for this exact reason. Because no matter if I say so publicly or not there are going to be people who have strong opinions against the awards and they are entitled to them, and they are entitled not to participate. They are not however, entitled to keep sending messages that we shouldn’t exist because of something that happened years ago and because some don’t think they should exist at all. And I didn’t want that in my personal inbox but also understood that anonymous asks let people ask questions they might be too shy to ask public facing so they stayed on over here.

I’ve been the public face behind a lot of events over the last two years and that hasn’t stopped me getting anonymous messages about how I’m doing it all wrong. Or quite frankly worse ones that were derogatory and personal.

I’ve done what was asked. I addressed the concerns that came in the form of an anonymous ask politely and respectfully given this year’s history. I offered a poll as requested. If you read that response as passive aggressive well… that’s down to your interpretation. I’ve had enough of drama. And from all I’ve seen the drama stems from something I wasn’t even around for and has nothing to do with me, or how the awards have run this year. It has nothing to do with our current existence and the effort I’ve put in this year - both to the Jily awards all year, the gift exchange, Jilytoberfest, every Jilychallenge, Mystery Microfic May, jilymicrofics and the discord.

At the end of the day I’m here writing because I love Jily and I love all the people who come to read and enjoy what I put out too. But I will admit I’m tried of whatever this is.

If you want to, as you say have open discorse, my inbox is there, but I’ve said my piece and I respect their are different opinions but that’s not gonna change the awards being held this year. All posts are tagged so you can block them or this blog if you like. ~ Ray

about me

join the dead dove batfamily discord server!

hi, i'm luciferos. i'm 22, disabled, Deaf, queer, and a general menace. my pronouns are they/them. this is an 18+ batcest blog. i'm pro-fandom and pro-kink. I avidly support SALS, YKINMKATO, and DLDR. most of what i write is of the darkfic, dead dove variety. i'm a fan of the comics, mainly the pre-Flashpoint era of the Batfam. some of my favorite comics are: Red Robin (2009), Batman/Huntress: Cry For Blood, Birds of Prey (2010), Young Justice (1998), Huntress (1989), Sword of Azrael (2022), Grayson (2014), Robin War, and the Question (1986). i can be a comics purist, but i just tend to leave alone fandom content i dislike and i think everyone should have fun with their blorbos, whether they've read the comics or not.

my DMs are open for anyone who wants to chat, make friends, or just yell. my (mostly unused) main blog is @devilbonesofmetal, so that's where follows and likes come from. i don't do DNIs, your internet experience is your job to curate, so feel free to block me if you're uncomfortable with what i post. some important things to note are

my ask box is open for any headcanons, prompts, or questions you want to send my way! you can ask for comic recs or my opinions on canon, or whatever suits your fancy. however *please* understand there are usually at least 50 asks in my inbox and i don't answer them in order. if i haven't answered your ask yet, i will, i promise. it may take a while though. please don't resend it, we'll just both end up confused.

if you ever want to create a translation/podfic/fanart/etc or write something inspired by one of my fics or posts, you have complete permission to do so! just tag me bc i'd love to see it too!

a lot of content on this blog will be dark in nature. i try to tag and warn, but do treat this blog with a blanket Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings tag for your own safety if dark content may upset you.

as a comics purist, i tend not to like a lot of fanon tropes. if you send a prompt that uses a fanon-ish type of trope, i may take liberties with it to write it the way i prefer. that's never shade to fanon, it's just what makes me comfortable!

some of my favorite ships are: Tim/Jason, Tim/Dick, Tim/Damian, Dick/Bruce, Jason/Bruce, Ra's/Tim, Slade/Tim, Slade/Dick, Tim/Bruce, Jean-Paul/Tim, Cass/Tim, and Robin Pile.

and some of my favorite characters are: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Cass Cain, Helena Bertinelli, Luke Fox, Jean-Paul Valley, Bette Kane, Kara Zor-L, Zinda Blake, and Slade Wilson.

i write fanfiction, but i write anonymously on ao3 (for reasons explained here) so if you'd like to see all my stuff, here's a link to my tumblr masterlist and here's a link to my ao3 series, both of which contain all the fics i've written. aside from the typical ship and character tags, my vague tagging system on this blog is:

necrotic festerings - any ship/fandom metas i've written

necrotic answerings - answering any asks

necrotic writings - my fics

necrotic works in progress - rambling about fics i'm working on

divine and necrotic - tag for my partner @divine-dominion and i being gay on main

necrotic apcryopha - tag for my other partner @eebuckley and i also being gay on main

necrotic nuisance - my shitposting/low effort/non-serious tag

and, just for fun, some of the more interesting metas i've written:

why DC x DP crossovers are so popular

why the Batfamily fandom doesn't interact with canon & related thoughts

JayTim in the New-52 Deep Dive

"why aren't ships involving the women in the Batfam considered Batcest?"

advice for getting into pre-Flashpoint comics

Hi everyone! As the Queer Jewish Pride event is in the last stages of planning, I can already give more solid info about the events.

Pride call - we are having a call on Sunday, 16th of June, where we will have a queer religious service (religious as in Jewish obviously), and we will have some time to just socialize with each other, have discussions, etc. The time will still need to be confirmed, as we're trying to accomodate as many timezones as we can.

Queer Jewish Zine - we are trying to put together a Zine, and if you'd like to be a part of it, you absolutely can! There is more info on this in our discord server but to summarize, anyone who is queer and Jewish (or converting) can submit a piece of art in any medium they'd like, centered on the topic of Queer Jewish identity. The Zine will be made available online at the end of Pride month for free. If you want more info and/or want to participate, just DM me and I can give you the sign up sheet.

Book Recs - we are compiling a list of books that feature Queer Jewish characters/themes, and we'll be posting those recommendations sometime this month.

If anyone still wants to join the discord server, you can, just DM me. If you would like to participate in any event without being in the server, that is also possible. And if anyone has any ideas, questions, or suggestions, feel free to reach out!

Lookin for Moots <3

Hiya lovelies! ^-^

My name's Ally/Meebo, it's nice to meet you all! I'm coming back to the site after a few years, so I decided to start back at step one. That means I need to find some new mutuals! Here's some stuff you might wanna know about me:

I'm 26, She/They, stoner from the US. I've been practicing witchcraft for about 8 years, but I practice my own way at my own speed. I also used to be big into writing, reading, and photography which I would love to get back into. I have a tough time staying focused on my areas of interest (I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD but it wouldn't surprise anyone), so I have plenty of things I like to talk about.

I like being creative when I have the energy, but my interest pretty much changes daily. Some of my recent creations have been crochet, paintings/collages, clay trinkets, sewing, marker/colored pencil art/doodles, etc. Crochet and painting/doodling/drawing are my usuals, but it's everchanging

I am a treasure trove of various interests but I also like learning about new stuff! Just a small handful of general topics I like:

Music - EDM, Pop Punk, Nu Metal, 80s/90s new wave/alt, uhhhhh idk man I like a lot of stuff haha I LOVE suggestions!!

Fleetwood Mac, Tool, Chevelle, Hail the Sun, Perfect Circle, SoaD, Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Evanescence, Disturbed, Emarosa, Set it Off, San Holo, Jonathan Coulton…

Games -

LOZ (OoT and Windwaker mostly), Animal Crossing, Elden Ring, Cult of the Lamb, Baulder's Gate 3, WoW, Chibi Robo, Metroid, Sky: Children of Light, Cthulu Saves the World

Shows/Movies - Sci-fi, Fantasy, Historical, Musical, Theater, Horror, Drama, Animated, Cartoons, Anime

Firefly (/Serenity), Always Sunny, Parks and Rec, Buffy, Invader Zim, JoJo, Avatar, old adult swim cartoons (Venture Bros., Metalocolypse, Harvey Birdman, etc.), Star Trek (DS9 specifically so far!)…

Things I want to get into (or Back into, in some cases haha)-

D&D, MtG, playing guitar, tattoos, divination, cooking/baking, gardening, HP Lovecraft, Shakespear…

The list goes on! I'm sure you can tell I'm a weird one, but if any of the above strikes your fancy, please feel free to dm me. I'm also looking for pen pals and Discord groups, so please let me know if you think I'd fit in anywhere!

Tyty byyyye

Got any good fics to rec? Finished or unfinished, I do not discriminate. Need to get my bookmarks up! 😁

Hey hey, thanks for the ask!

You can have a look at my bookmarks if you like. I only bookmark fics I want to reread later. (My TBR list lives in 80 separate tabs in my browser. This is the way.)

Lately I'm especially into fics by SheOfBadIdeas, Bellaedythe and HummingbeeoOo.

Akinma and Bandedbulbussnarfblat both have loads of amazing fics as well. (And I do mean LOADS, they both have over 120 IWTV fics.)

And if you're on Bluesky, I do a daily Armandaniel fic rec on there! You can find me here.

ALSO: I basically only read fics that are recommended to me/written by my friends these days, because of the sheer number of new fics we're blessed with every day. I simply can't keep up! If anyone reading this thinks, "Gee, I wish GrayGiantess would read/rec MY fic," please feel free to DM me the link! (I have a strong preference for one-shots under 6k or multi-chapter fics that are just starting out, because long covid fried my energy levels/attention span.)

EDIT: Fucking Tumblr removing all the links to Ao3! 😭 I literally linked to all those people's pages AND to my bookmarks. Anyway, here's the link to my bookmarks: https://archiveofourown.org/users/GrayGiantess/bookmarks

You can find all the authors I mentioned by doing a quick author search on Ao3.

[love-me-a-lotta-whump]

bestie I need recs bcos I love your blog and trust your taste 😔✊🏽

I found LUCA from you & I LOVED IT. It’s the whumpiest kdrama I’ve ever seen and I just need more like it 😭 living weapon Whump has a grip on me rn and I need my fix 😤

Any recs where whumpee has a dark side that makes them dangerous and they struggle with letting that part possess them but loses hope at one point?

My fav examples are Teen Wolf Stiles in s3 pt2 with the nogitsune - his anxious innocent side vs his evil trickster side has a hold on me like no other - or Supernatural Dean with the mark of Cain and micheal and demon dean ugh

Like what’s the point of pretty boys if they’re not struggling with themselves, am I right?

Ilysm okay so I’m gonna give you a few recs and feel free to DM me your thoughts on them, bestie. (There will def be some variety btw bc I feel like I see your vision)

🇨🇳The Untamed - {X} ~~ So basically one of the characters (the one that’s always in black) very much so struggles morally and is incredibly powerful and misunderstood and traumatized but honestly such a sweetheart. He definitely become undone a few times. One of my favorite Chinese dramas ever 🥰

🇰🇷Lovers of the Red Sky - {X} ~~ He spends the entire drama slowly losing control. I’m obsessed.

🇰🇷Love Song for Illusion - {X} ~~ spends damn near every single episode fighting to maintain control

🇰🇷Weak Hero Class 1 - {X} ~~ This one isn’t really super power type losing control but it’s more mental and emotional. You’ll see a slow decline throughout the drama and towards the end you’ll see him just lose it. It’s one of my top favorite dramas from any country ever. (Yes ik I haven’t finished my list for it don’t mind me lol)

🇯🇵Fuujinshi - {X} ~~ Another really good one where he has an ability that’s killing him and making him lose control to a point where he’s isolating himself to try to not hurt anyone and his loved ones have to hunt him down

So I heard how in injustice 2, Superman mind controls Batman. I looked it up and saw it was true. So now as a superbat fan, especially one who loves protective Superman and knowing how that can be twisted with injustice Superman. I was wondering if anyone can recommend me any fics similar and/or based on this concept. If you have any, please feel free to reply to this post, also if you have any general protective superbat fan recs I would like to see them as well. If any author is willing to write these, im willing to pay, feel free to hit me up in my dms.

Also here is the video, so people can know what I’m talking about:

[gendervapor14]

you there! do you like One Piece? do you like Rare-Pairs?

c'mere... come a little closer...

✨ i made a discord server!! ✨

Rare-Pear ~ a One Piece Rare-Pair Server!

after holding several different conversations across a variety of platforms, i decided maybe it was time to try and make my own server! rare-pairs hold a special place in my heart. they don't often get as much love as some of the more popular ships and tropes, which can leave the creators feeling awfully lonely.

SO! i sought to remedy that! 🥰 together, we can find other niche creations and creators and give them all the hype they deserve! there are channels for bouncing ideas around, sharing fics and art, and plenty of space for general discussion/analyses. we also have an ao3 collection to flaunt all the fruits of our labor! 🍐💕

i will post the detailed rules below the cut, but here's the tl:dr for anyone who's just doing a quick scroll:

writers, artists, and casual consumers are all welcome!

focus on pairings with <100 stories on ao3 using otp:true

must be 20+ to join

no anti/proship discourse

roles to opt in/out of nsfw or dark content

rules and link to join beneath the cut! if/when the link expires, feel free to shoot me a DM or reply and i'll gladly refresh the link 🥰

RULES

this server was created to offer a place for those who enjoy rare pairs in the One Piece fandom. for the sake of this server, a rare pair is defined as a pairing who has less than 100 works on ao3 using "otp:true". (romantic or platonic!) but don’t panic! if your OTP (or one of them) has more than 100 works, that’s okay! you are still welcome here! just be sure to encourage those who are creating for and/or celebrating smaller pairings.

you must be 20+ years old to join this server.

respect is vital. any form of hate speech or bigotry will not be tolerated. if a ship, story, or trope is not your cup of tea, don’t drink it! disagreements are inevitable, but the nature of this server is to support one another, so please be respectful if ideas collide. different interpretations should be encouraged!

no anti/proship discourse.

no underage content.

no AI-generated content.

dark/sensitive works and discussions are to be posted in the “bruised fruits” category so people can easily mute these channels. this includes subjects that may involve non-con, dub-con, incest, gore, suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, and animal abuse. if you encounter an additional subject you’d like to be filtered into this channel, do not hesitate to reach out to a mod.

other nsfw works and discussions should be posted in the “spicy fruits” category so people can easily mute these channels. this includes subjects that may involve nudity or sex. if you encounter an additional subject you’d like to be filtered into this channel, do not hesitate to reach out to a mod.

fanart shared in dark/nsfw channels should still be covered with a spoiler tag and explicitly labeled to ensure maximum comfort for all individuals.

be mindful of the content you consume. do not harass any individuals or creations under any circumstances. a mod will step in if there is a violation of the rules.

this server is focused on rare pairs in the One Piece fandom, but other fandom discourse is welcome, and belongs in the appropriate “#other fruits” channel. feel free to make a thread for your fandom as well, if you find others who share an interest in it!

feel free to create your own threads! whether it be a thread for your pairing, or a thread for your current wip. just be sure to create your thread in the appropriate category/channel.

try to keep conversations relevant per channel. each category has their own channels for general discussion/analyses. off-topic conversations are encouraged in the “#general chat” channel in the “picnic table” category.

you are encouraged to post fanfiction/fanart, but be sure to do so in the correct fanfiction/fanart channels. when posting fic recs or others’ artwork, be sure to include the link to credit the original artist.

any additional questions or concerns can be brought to the “#questions/suggestions” channel under the “welcome!” category, or discussed via DM with a mod :)

hope to see you there! 🍐♥

That time I went to Artnia and ate the Vincent pasta

I’ll be adding more info/tags over time!

日本語版とブログについてこちらです↓

About the Blog/Trivia below the cut ❤️

You can call me Sera (she/her)

I’ve been obsessed with Vincent Valentine since I was about 10 years old. I love him to death.

I don’t officially ship Vincent with anyone and don’t really have any NoTPs (although I do have my preferences)

I probably won’t post any blatantly 18+ content, but I also don’t guarantee this blog is free from it. I post what I like and find interesting.

My birthday is July 1990 (Lucky me I have the same star sign as Lucrecia 🙃)

I’m an art teacher IRL

I’m married to a very patient husband who understands and supports my obsession (Supportive partners do exist!! ❤️)

I love languages and have been learning Japanese for years. It’s been very helpful to to understand Vincent content at its source (I’m at a basic conversational level rn)

P.S. Vincent’s name was the first thing I learned to read/write in katakana 🙃🙃🙃

In day to day life, I’m still not super comfortable talking about Vincent. (For example, I will change the subject very quickly if one of my friends mentions him around my family 😅) but in fandom spaces I feel much safer because we understand each other haha ❤️

I suffer from a chronic condition, which is a big reason I love and relate to Vincent so much.

This is a drama-free zone, all Vincent fans are welcome here 🩷

Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions or want to chat about Vincent 💕

Regarding the art I post:

i have regency!lark questions!

how is the writing process different from other fics (for example, canon-compliant or in-Panem AUs)? how much research goes into it?

do you feel immersed in the world that their mannerisms, speech patterns, etc come easily to you? or does it take conscious effort to regency-fy these things? (as a non-native English speaker, this is the thing i am always curious about when reading historical AUs!)

what are your non-fan media recs for someone who knows next to nothing about regency era? (sorry if you shared something like this and i missed it!)

thank you!

Hey!!!

Thank you for the ask @thesunpersists!!

Oof! My husband jokes that the only history I know, I learned from American Girl Doll books, which is some what accurate: I absorb history best when it’s the backdrop of fiction (especially a romance)

A few years back I went on a ‘classic’ author binge. I would read/listen to a book and follow along with the shmoop/cliff notes/spark notes, then finish off by watching any screen adaptations I could find. (I wish I had known about tumblr then *stares wistfully off into the distance*)

With that in mind, I’m not sure I have a full grasp of what each time period is… Regency is more a vibe than a historically accurate set of dates in my mind; An amalgamation of the things I read and watched and very light research… Idk I don’t want to take the fun out of storytelling by getting too caught up in that stuff, which I understand may not be for everyone.

Anyways…

I’ve enjoyed a lot of adaptations of old books. If we’re talking specifically Regency - in addition to the novels, Pride and Prejudice 95, Emma 09, Persuasion 95 are my favorites! I also love Lily James and Matt Smith so Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was fun!

I know you said non fandom but I’m going to mention cwmilton because I adore their Emma FanFiction so so much!

I think War and Peace is technically Regency Era though not set in England. I slogged through the novel and there were parts I enjoyed, but not enough to do it again. Again my love for Lily James and James Norton had me watching the 16 BBC adaptation and enjoyed it for them and the costumes.

I’d like to check out and Tom Jones is on my list thanks to @wildwren and Mr. Malcom’s List is another I hope to read/watch!

I went through Dickens, Brontë, Hardy, Gaskell so if anyone wants to talk adaptations!

Okay. So I’m not sure I’ve answered your questions 😳… so I would say: usually my desire to write a historical AU comes from recently consuming a peice of media from that period - So I’ve already got the vibe fresh in my mind. But also yes - I do think it’s difficult to write and stay in that time periods speaking pattern and vocabulary.

Anyways, feel free to send an ask or DM if you want to talk fics or historical fiction, or adaptations or whatever!!!

Y'ALL.

Despite getting like four hours of sleep I just played the most thought-provoking freebie indie visual novel with a simple gothic style to it

-- and last night I played an indie freebie platform with a gorgeous gothic art style --

and since tcoaal is my current hyperfixation ( primary content on my blog, and the reason a lot of folks are here atm ) I thought that as I'm going through my Steam games I've been hoarding forever ( especially freebies ), I'm going to make a collection of games with a similar feel or style and compile a recommendations list here on my blog.

I feel that not only would that be good exposure for those indie developers, but it would also give me the ability to give other people an idea of warnings and whatnot before they click into the game. ( I do not have an major triggers and can play dark fictional content safely without any threat to my mental health. )

Would people like that? A rec list of gothic style games ( some free, some paid ) with content warnings ( but no detailed plot spoilers ) so that people like me who are perhaps impatiently waiting for tcoaal updates can find some similar content or themes in other games in the meantime?

These games may not even fall into the proship or problematic(tm) category but I think it would be nice to share more of what seems to be a niche interest in dark or edgy content for a lot of us, and right now I have the time and means to explore some options available to me.

I'm also open to suggestions if anyone wants to add them! Leave a comment on this post or in the tags if you reblog, send an ask, DM me - whatever makes you most comfortable and I'll check the game out!
