#and then again it's my blog and I can post whatever the heck I want right?

[sysig]

An ask! Idk what to talk abt though. How are you? What you want more asks abt? Characters? Life? Some other obscure interest?

(In reference to this I think hehe)

I'm doing well, thank you! I hope the same for you!

As for asks I'd like, I'm up for pretty much anything! If there's something that piques your interest - a take I put out but didn't elaborate on, "Defend that argument!" Lol ♪ I've also had people ask how I do certain things which is always fun to explain :D

Emoji gifts/silly back-and-forths are always fun to doodle to as well! ♫

Or if there's a fandom I haven't posted in a while and you miss it - I have no idea how many fandom transitions people here have hung with! Even if it's been a while, I still love my blorbos hehe ♥

Becoming a psuedo-ask blog with my characters answering directly is still totallly on the table btw :) Something remind you of me/them? Interest!

And while it's not quite Requestober-time-of-year again, next month is the start of when you should be thinking up what you might want 👀

I'd just like to chat! :) Asks are such a casual way of interacting, I like them :D

[dont-leafmealone]

some etiquette tips for quotev migrants

If you enjoy a post (piece of art, text post, writing, gifset, etc) interact however you would have on quotev!

Reblogging is like reposting an activity, but with a permanent link to op, and you can add your own thoughts in the tags or on the post itself. Very nifty. It's that little 🔄 symbol at the bottom.

Likes are a good short-form validation, and also a way to save posts so you can find them again later.

Comments are good for sharing your thoughts without having the post on your account for whatever reason.

Tags are optional, but useful for both organization and extra commentary that will stay on your blog (unless someone likes your tags. Then they may copy/screenshot and add to the post, or copy them in their own tags.)

if you trigger tag something, don't censor the trigger. That will only make it harder for people who have that tag blocked to avoid it.

"Copying is ok" rules for tags don't apply to art; art is to be reblogged, not copy-pasted, unless given permission from the artist. It's also polite to credit an artist if you use their art for a header/pfp, and/or ask beforehand!

That said, gifs are free game pretty much, since they have built-in credit to whoever uploaded them.

When posting images it's helpful to use the alt text feature to add a description, or add one in the body of the post below or above the picture, since A; it's helpful for those who use screen readers, and B; sometimes pictures don't load and the description is sometimes vital to tell what the heck's going on, screenreader or no.

Ask boxes are for things you don't mind being publicly viewed; messages are for private discussions.

Anonymous asks are optional, meaning some people may have them turned off. Anon hate is unfortunately common and many people opt to avoid it.

Block and report bots on sight. Report for spam/bot violations; even if they're an nsfw bot, reporting for sexual content won't do anything to get rid of them. Bots are pretty recognizable when you know what to look for, as their blog will either be blank/have a insta model pfp and generic URL, or...be full of untagged porn.

Bots come in waves; there'll be a lot at once, then they'll die off to a handful, then eventually come back. It's a neverending battle!

You can block tags to avoid seeing content you don't like. To do this you go into "account" in the settings menu, and type whatever you wanna block in the content filters section.

Turn on timestamps! That way you can know if info is outdated, or just in general have a time frame for when something was made.

Block rather than argue. You'll be happier in the long run. Hell, even if someone just kinda gets on your nerves or yucks your yum, but especially if it's serious, since reporting does next to nothing and arguing just won't change someone who's stuck in their ways, and it's not your job to fix everyone who's wrong. Block their account and if you want, block their name on the filtered content. Chances are they won't even know or care so don't worry that it's rude.

Most of all, have fun!

That's all I can think of for now. My askbox is open if there are any questions!

[cinnbar-bun]

hi hi this has to be my favorite one piece writing blog, seriously ur writing makes me so happy 😭🖤

not sure if i can request multiple characters but do you mind if i can get general sfw/nsfw headcanons for jinbe and brook?

sorry i really like weird old men (again love your writing and i hope you have a very nice day!!!!!)

A/n: Aw thank you sweetheart. Please enjoy this~! Also, sorry for not posting for a bit, I’ve been exhausted from work and lost some motivation to write oneshots :( but I just love Brook so much so I had to do this.

Brook + Jinbei General SFW + NSFW HCs

Note: separate relationships, reader is GN, smut headcanons inside. Fluffy mmm.

Word Count: 874

Brook

Brook, ever the performer, loves waking you up or lulling you to sleep with his music. Heck, he’ll even burst out into song throughout the day for you if you wish. He’s your 24/7 skeletal radio.

Sometimes he also does freestyle music and makes up lyrics and beats on the spot about whatever you’re doing or how he feels. They’re usually cheesy and not all that serious, but they never fail to lift your spirits up.

Brook likes to be dramatic in your presence to get some attention from you. Sometimes he’s like a spoiled baby but he can’t help it- you’re too amazing!! And he loves you so much!!

If you’re ever feeling too hot, Brook will always put a hand to your head or elsewhere to help you cool down with his devil fruit powers. He’s your not so little walking ice pack.

Brook, while eccentric, is still an old man at heart so he often likes to treat you and spoil you the old-fashioned way. Kneeling on the main deck as you’re on the top deck while he performs you sweet sonnets and ballads he made just for you. Always wanting to keep an arm around your waist. Walking on the street side of the sidewalk. Buying you flowers at any given moment.

He’s a charming gentleman, and it’s very clear when it comes to you.

That being said, he can still be a pervert and it’s full force for you.

He goes gaga over your body! Literally loses his soul when he even gets a peek of you because ??? Hello??? You’re beautiful??

Beyond just sexually, he adores your body. It’s hard for him to explain the feeling but ever since he’s become just a pile of bones, he’s found a greater appreciation for the human body.

When he’s in bed with you, he wants to explore every inch and crevice of your body. Don’t get shy on him now, it’s not like he even has eyes to stare at you, YOHOHOHO!

Kidding, but really, when you two are getting intimate, he focuses on you and your reactions a great deal. He can’t have sex with you the way a human would, so most of his pleasure is derived from your enjoyment- yeah, he’s still got it.

His phalanges are god tier, argue with the wall!!!

Jinbei

Local dad-friend to the crew, loyal husband to you. You might not even be married but you might as well be, that’s just how sweet he is.

He really likes trying new things with you. Even something as small as a new ice cream flavor makes him happy. It’s rather silly and mundane, but something about doing it with you makes it feel wonderful.

“‘Cereal milk’…? There’s really a flavor for that?!”

And alongside new things, he likes to make traditions for the two of you. He’s a very sentimental man, so it can end up being something like eating that one specific dish you two had on your first date, or having a spot on the ship to sit and cuddle.

Jinbei makes sure you get a healthy amount of fruit in you. He will be casually leaving you a plate of freshly cut fruits and a glass of water beside you. He’s not letting you devoid yourself of essential nutrients and hydration. Will force feed you if necessary.

Okay this is just my headcanon but he’s got old man eyes so if something is in smaller fonts he squints and holds the page up to his face to try and read it. It isn’t until you offer to just read it for him that he FINALLY gives in and has you read it for him.

He’s got a great laugh. A hearty, jovial laugh that anyone in the crew can hear from miles away. Honestly, your jokes might not even be that good, but to him, it’s hilarious. Just being so carefree and funny like this is special to him. Your jokes and funny faces seriously make his day, so please never feel embarrassed to tell him one.

I don’t have a segue for this. He is just a big boy.

And yeah, he knows that he’s huge, which is why he takes extra care to make sure you’re properly stretched and ready to take him.

He never really put too much thought into his body beyond his strength, but he has to admit, he loves when you shower attention and compliment his body. Especially in the bedroom, his face just warms up and he gets a bit prideful. It gets him going knowing his body turns you on so much.

Gentle giant. He’s not going to go feral on you, especially not during the first few times you two lay together. He may consider that sort of thing later, alongside many safety measures.

He does enjoy doggy, but also, he finds it so sexy when you ride him. Forward or reverse, it doesn’t matter. It’s also a pretty good compromise because he can let you set a pace while joining with you to get it “rougher” if you so wish.

Lots and lots of praise from Jinbei, all whispered lovingly into your ear as he’s pounding into you <3

[stillness-in-green]

First of all, thank you for Bring It All Back. Gave me chills. Second, what do you think about the newest chapters? It seems like Izuku took Gran Torino's 'killing to save' ideology to heart. Personally, I gave up somewhere around the Nagant arc.

Belatedly, thank you very much, @kermitthekrog-blog!  I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’m particularly always happy to hear people say it was chilling, upsetting, enraging, or other such disruptive adjectives.  It’s a rabble-rouser of an art project, to be sure, quite intentionally so.

As to the rest, I’ve made a few posts here and there since I got this ask which probably make my opinions pretty clear, and I’ve got a new ask in the queue which wants to know my thoughts on the epilogue material thus far, so I’ll have more to say there!  But in the meantime, yeah, it’s pretty appalling to think back to all Deku’s talk about “saving” Shigaraki and realize that all of it predates the Gran Torino scene?

Like, he thinks he wants to save Shigaraki when they part ways at the end of the first war arc, sure!  And he tells the vestiges he wants to save Shigaraki!  But does that specific word choice endure once he wakes up?  Well, @codenamesazanka did some hunting recently (you can find two posts about her rereads here and here) and, it turns out, no; it doesn't.

After Deku wakes up and talks to Gran Torino, the focus switches to Deku understanding Shigaraki, choosing not to ignore him, finding out the nature of the Crying Child, all that stuff.  That word completely stops coming out of Deku's mouth, and very shortly after stops coming from any of the OFA vestiges as well.

It really does read, in retrospect, like, yeah, he sincerely took Gran Torino’s words at face value and to heart. “Killing can be a way of saving, so I can save him by killing him.”

Heck, if anything, given how little he focuses after that on saving, it almost feels like that’s the moment he resolves to kill Shigaraki—rather conveniently, it allows him a way to make peace with extrajudicial murder and avenge himself for all the people Shigaraki’s hurt that Deku can’t forgive him for.

The only thing that’s different from just killing him outright is that Deku wants to understand him first, as if he has to verify for himself that Shigaraki is secretly unhappy and why so he can justify that save-by-killing—putting Shigaraki out of whatever misery Deku can make himself believe Shigaraki is in—with a clean conscience.  But he absolutely does not make any further promises about not killing him afterward.

Grim fucking stuff, but it lines up.  One wonders what he would have done if the Shigaraki in the mindscape had changed to Sweet Innocent Tenko and never reverted back to Shigaraki Tomura at any point.  Would Deku have tried not to punch him to death?  Tried to call for Eri or Recovery Girl after AFO’s vestige faded out?  Felt like more of a failure because the “person” VFO devoured would have been that cute kid, meaning Deku failed to save the “child”?

As it is, he mostly just seems vaguely discouraged and unhappy about Shigaraki staying “the leader of the League” until the end—would he have preferred that his hands were ashen and flaking with the powdered remains of the crying child instead?

As to me giving up, the Nagant fight is one of two places I'd put that pin.  I was discouraged by the first war arc, when so many of the advantages Shigaraki had gained over the course of MVA were stripped away from him again.  I was dissatisfied with the second encounter with Muscular, when Deku's "victory" was framed in such a heroic, triumphant light despite being a categorical failure based on the standard Deku seemed to have set for himself.  But Deku’s fight with Lady Nagant was so bad for so many reasons that it served as the first true hammer blow to my belief that Horikoshi would be willing or able to seriously grapple with the societal problems the manga had been building up to at that point.

My patience with the manga, and the enjoyment I derived from it, continued to deteriorate throughout the rest of that arc and the following war arc, but the hospital attack is the other place I would point to as the sequence that completely destroyed my engagement with the series.

Just—the naked contrivances of it, the excruciating treatment of Spinner, the howling tone-deafness, the monumental unfairness of the demands it laid at the feet of its oppressed minority. The series presents a backstory like Shouji’s alongside current story elements like heteromorphs being turned away from shelters in the supposedly accepting and quirk-blind big cities and still somehow comes out valorizing passive endurance so hard it starts to look like willful self-subjugation.

It is the most comprehensively noxious moral in the entire endgame, rivaled only by Deku’s murder of Shigaraki under the guise of “saving” him, and frankly? I would still put that one in second place. At least you can point to Shouto (and possibly Ochaco, though that remains to be seen) as an indication that save-by-killing is not a story-wide moral about villains who have “gone too far.”

Conversely, pretty much everything the hospital attack mini-arc winds up preaching can be read outward onto the rest of the story's antagonists as well, including Lady Nagant. What else to make of her exchange with Hawks The Optimist, after all, than that the conclusion is that she should have just kept murdering whoever the government told her to until some outside player solved her problem for her?

A Hero is someone who is willing to suffer in silence. A Villain, then, must be someone who refuses to.

Truly, the hospital attack is the poisoned well that wipes out the entire village.

[midnightstar16]

I am done with this show.

I came into season 2 with hope and excitement. Season 1 ended so shockingly, and I was curious how it would play out in the next season with all these complex characters. Would Rhaenyra finally become the book Rhaenyra who fought her brother and kin for the throne? Would Aegon finally embrace his role as king? Would Aemond work with his brother to plot and defeat the blacks?

It is safe to say I was disappointed. As the show progressed, I felt my enthusiasm falter and destroy. From the top of my head, I can only remember episodes 2 and 7 living up to their expectations. Why is this? If they couldn't make a book-accurate show, they should never have thought to make one in the first place.

They've omitted characters (nettles) and ruined others. Somehow sheepstealer is in the vale?

The above picture is from Martin's blog posted this month. It is obvious that the writers think that they can do whatever they want.

Rhaenyra who was supposed to be ready for war, is suddenly against war again. Alicent, who wanted her son on the throne and hated Rhaenyra, is suddenly yearning for her. Daemon is in his "haunting of Harrenhal" era. Criston Cole, who was named Kingmaker is such a useless shit in the show. He sits around, has s*x with alicent and then sulks.

I will not say that they butchered everyone. Aemond and Aegon's writing was done nicely. Leaving the rook's rest part. That didn't make sense in many ways.

This show has just become men bad, women good. It is obvious. Aemond, Aegon, Cole, Daemon, heck- even Jace; they're all portrayed as insecure, abusive and bad.

It was jace who came up with the idea to get Targaryen bastards to claim Dragons but they made him insecure and gave his plot to Mysaria. Oh and talking about Mysaria... She was talking about her abusive father and how he r*****d her and Rhaenyra became horny and kissed her? That scene was actually suggested by Emma Darcy, Rhaenyra's actor and it shows. But the fact that the writers actually allowed it shows their naivety.

Criston was a GOATed character in the book, he was a father figure to Aegon and Aemond but he acts and looks younger than them.

Daemon is in his haunted movies era. After laena showing up in s2, I predicted we'd get Viserys all rotten up and we did.

The set is amazing, the dragons are amazing, the characters are supposed to be amazing and so is the writing, but it is not. Season 8's cinematography, music, set, everything was groundbreaking but its writing was bad. This is exactly the same.

From what I've seen so far, episodes 2 and 7 were amazing, I can't lie, episodes 1, 3 and 4 were on the average side. For episode 4, many might criticise me because it was rook's rest, but this was a huge battle that shook the ground. It was downplayed to what? 10-15 minutes? As for episodes 5 and 6, I don't even remember what happened in them, because there was nothing to remember.

Episode 7 was good indeed. I thought they finally redeemed themselves. Until episode 8 leaked. Indeed. Last time, about 2-3 episodes leaked and this time was no different. The finale leaked.

While I will not talk about it until Monday, I will say this: I, who watched season 8 twice, who is a huge a song of ice and fire fan, will most probably not watch this show from now onward.

[matrixsss]

So I have some thoughts about the Elaingate thing and I am letting these thoughts loose. You are free to disagree with my opinions. 

You see instead of banning only certain characters, you could just properly tag submissions and reblogs. It is on the individual to curate their own safe space. When I came to the Acotar tumblr world, I realised that I do not vibe with Eriel or Eriels at all, you know what I did? I filtered the tags and blocked certain blogs that I did not enjoy seeing on my timeline. I created what I wanted to see on my dashboard. To protect myself from seeing things I do not enjoy. 

If you as an admin of an event cannot be bothered to properly tag reblogs, then perhaps you should not be running an event that is supposed to be enjoyed by everyone who loves said character. And from what I have seen from last years event is that you did not tag things properly. It is seriously super duper flooper easy to tag things, heck you can reuse tags that the other person used, because you just have to click on said tags. Mindblowing right? 

It is not even about censorship at this point, it is about how one group of abused/survivors of abuse is above another group. I know my triggers and other people know their triggers as well, I am sorry to say but it is on you to protect yourself and your own peace. If you do not wish to see something, filter the tags you do not wish to see. 

And if you cannot be unbiased and your triggers are too much for you, then again perhaps running an event where creators should be appreciated and uplifted is just not a job for you. 

To be honest if the rule just stated that no abusive things would be accepted or whatever, everyone would be fine and Elaingate would not have happened. And lets all be honest I highly doubt any Tamlains would even post anything for this event, even if they did who cares? because if you have shit tagged as it is supposed to be then you can idk simply ignore it and look at what brings you joy. 

As an event admin, it is on you to tag things and be unbiased to all. But it is clear to me and the majority that you just are not unbiased. 

Again you are free to disagree with my points, but keep it respectful.

INTRODUCTION

Hmm, where do I start?

Okay, ever since the pilot trailer for kidnap was released, I have been really excited for this series. Most of the excitement was from seeing Ohm in a bl again but I really liked the plot too. So, I have been following ohmleng and their events from then. When the official trailer was released, I was way too excited. I still remember rewatching it so many times. Ahh, good times. Anyways I think that was in august and the series started airing in september. This is one of the few series that I have followed from the very beginning and I don't think I'll be dropping it either. This series has really become such an important part of my routine. I never really expected it be that significant to me. I look forward to the new episode every week. They really put a huge smile on my face every Friday after a very tiring week. I also wasn't expecting to get so connected to the characters. But man am I gonna miss them when the series ends. I'm starting this after ep 10, but I really felt like I need to keep my thoughts somewhere. I have some great memories with these characters that I want to cherish. So, that is the background to why I'm writing this blog. I will be writing it episode wise. This is mostly for myself and my memories.

Also, I really want to read the novel. Considering the fact that MinQ are peak romance-novel coded, I think the novel would be good. It also gives more insight on the inner thoughts of the characters from what I've seen on X. So, I NEED that english translation.

Another thing about this series is the amount of tropes they have included. Love at first sight, slight enemies to lovers, sick family member, sleepwalking, trauma, ptsd, towel bath, breakup, and what not at this point. But the main thing is it doesn't feel too forced. You can go with the flow without it being disrupted by the tropes.

I'm just rambling at this point but whatever.

Most of the complaints I have seen about this series is how its not more action based and more rom-com-ish. Honestly, I always felt like it was a love story with an action subplot. Atleast that's what I gathered from the trailer. But again, I am someone who prefers rom-coms with some sappy romance, family drama and stuff like that, so I am enjoying the heck out of this show.

Anways, I'll continue the rest in the episode posts.

quick question, if I may: what model of noise-canceling headphones do you have, and would you recommend them to others for sensory issues? I've been meaning to get a pair of them myself for a while now but I keep getting overwhelmed by the process of finding and deciding on a specific pair

(apologies if you've answered this before; while I did search your blog before sending this in and it only returned the post from today, I'm also under no illusions about how functional of a website this is)

I got a pair of over-the-ear Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones on sale last year. They were the same ones my neuro-ophthalmologist recommended and uses in his office.

They are very spendy (at least for me), and I was glad I got them on sale.

That said, I would probably buy them again at full price if I had to just because they've made such a difference to my overall stress levels, not to mention whatever the heck is going on with my inner ear.

They hold a charge really well, they fit my small head without being too heavy with plenty of room to expand, and I can usually slot my glasses in at such an angle they don't press against my temples.

The mic is also decent enough to make calls, but I'm told it's staticy when I'm playing games so I use my other mic.

There's also a "listening" function for when you want to be able to hear people talk or a "block" function to block out more noise. I honestly leave mine on the block function all the time, and if I'm struggling to hear someone, I shift the positioning on my ear enough to let outside noise in juuust a smidge. I find it less distressing than suddenly being able to hear the entire electronic hum of the world in both ears instead of just partially out of one.

I tried some Apple ones, too, and preferred the fit and sound of the Bose. The Apple ones I tried might have been faulty, but the "noise canceling" effect had a weird popping hiss every so often that I didn't like.

The backup brand my neuro-ophthalmologist keeps in his office was a pair of Sony WH-CH720N Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones. Those were good, too, though I found the ambient setting "nosier." They are cheaper, though, and I think lighter too, and I was again able to wear my glasses in a way that they didn't press too hard.

I don't know about any other cheaper models; this was my first set of noise-canceling headphones, and I was so determined to experience the stillness I'd experienced in the eye clinic I went straight for them in the store😅 But hopefully, someone else will have more info for you in the notes.

[jkl-fff]

what was your inspo for the daily asks? i love them btw

Thanks for the ask and the interest! I'm delighted to hear you and others enjoy them so much. Makes me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile.

As a general project, Silly Game Time was inspired by a few things.

First, for a while before I started it, I would see a certain kind of post lamenting deteriorations in Tumblr's culture over the years. In particular, how there used to be a much more vibrant and fun practice of sending asks to each other (whether it was numbers or symbols based on a list of questions someone reblogged, participating with someone's fandom-based and roleplay-driven ask blog, copy-pasted bits of positivity and encouragement, and so on). These posts always made me feel a bit nostalgic. I would think, "Yeah, I miss those days, too. Wish they would come back ..."

Second, was a desire to find something I can actually do to make the world a little bit better. You may have noticed that things aren't particularly fantastic on this planet right now (what with several active genocides, extreme weather disasters driven by manmade climate change, pollution and extermination and deforestation ravaging nature, a rise in rightwing ideologies across the globe leading to a resurgence in violent prejudices, mega-corporate exploitation causing the quality and length of life to decrease, AND studios keep canceling all the good shows while streaming services delete them). But I am only one man living below the poverty line. Which begged the question of what I really could actually do.

Third, numerous people in my life remark fairly frequently that I'm a funny, thought-provoking guy (why, yes, I shall toot my own horn, thank you kindly for the invitation to go off on an extended, jazz solo). That I've a talent for making others laugh and giving them something interesting or creative or even profound to consider.

Then one day (186 days ago, to be precise--I know with precision because I've kept a list of all the SGTs I've posed, and have managed to keep SGT running consecutively since then), all these synapses fired at the same time. And the ideas clicked together:

Tumblr wasn't going to change back on its own, and as they say, "Change starts with me." I had to be the change I wanted to see in the Tumblr world by sending asks myself (a bit like if you want to see more people reblogging art and commenting on fics and all that, you have to make sure you're doing it, too). Something I could actually do in the face of so much doom and gloom in the world was to use my talent for humor and profundity to spread some light-hearted, mind-engaging fun. At least in my own little corner of the world, as far out as I can reach. Like a single ray sunshine on a cloudy day, it might not change the overall weather, but at least it might make things a bit more bearable emotionally in the meantime for those who see it. It's a little thing, perhaps inconsequential ... but then again, perhaps not so inconsequential for the people who feel they have nothing. After all, we're a species that uses little things to survive hard times.

What is hope if not a little thing?

ANYWHO! For specific asks, inspiration comes from anything and everything. Whatever sparks an idea, I'll immediately try to make note of it to use later. It certainly helps that I not only can be silly with it, but am indeed striving to be silly with it. For silliness has infinite variety. That's why it might just save humankind.

Thanks again for the ask! And if you like the idea, feel free to take part in it. Copy-paste the question and ask others who you think might enjoy it, too. I certainly won't object to this rippling outward. Or send ones that you think up yourself. Why the heck not? Everybody could use some more light-hearted fun, right?

[jumpywhumpywriter]

I don’t know how to start messages at all, so I’ll just get to the point: you’re writing is hecking amazing. I literally only just discovered your blog and I’m already hooked and invested in like 5 different stories. As people say, I want to consume your writing the way a wolf tears apart the innards of its prey (hope that’s not too weird of a compliment; I mean that the writing is very good. I’m not good at expressing extreme amazement and stuff through writing at all and general social awkwardness so sorry if I’m coming off as weird, I don’t mean to).

I have more things to say/ask (like how you write so fast cause the heck? That’s a compliment by the way), but I don’t want to be rude or annoying. Anyways, I hope you’re having a good day/night and are staying hydrated and enjoying some cookies (or whatever your favorite food is) while you do writing stuff (or school or whatever. Idk anything about your life. I’ll stop talking now before I go on another tangent like right now) :)

This is literally one of the sweetest compliments I've EVER gotten! I love the analogy with the wolf tearing out the insides of its prey, that gave me a good laugh and made me smile LOL. It's not weird at all! (At least, not in MY world, because 'weird' is my version of 'normal'. You can't out-weird me haha) and I'm super socially awkward too so I totally understand how you feel!

I absolutely adore the fact that you took the time to send this to me! It really helps motivate me to keep writing! I honestly wouldn't post here very often without comments like yours to keep me going.

On to answering your questions now. This is going to be a long one.

Firstly, I have a terrible relationship with sleep. Sleep hates me. So my solution? Stay up to 3am writing giant novels! Some nights the inspiration hits out of nowhere, and I'll write like a crazy person on their 10th cup of coffee, doing five whole pages in Google Docs. Like I don't know what sleep is anymore LOL. Then I break the large chunk of writing I did up into several smaller sections I can put into separate posts on this app that I can post slowly over time to keep people entertained for a longer time instead of posting everything all at once and running out of content.

For example, I might literally have 13 posts in my drafts section ALL from a single batch of writing I did all at once the night before that took me 5 whole hours to write and edit.

In all honestly I am NOT a fast writer at all. I just happen to be able to write giant sections at a time and then split them up so I can post frequently which gives the ILLUSION that I am fast writer because of how often I post content. But in reality it's just been prepared in advance on my sleepless nights where I power through and complete whole pages at a time. (I'm actually a slower snail when it comes to writing because I try to go for quality not quantity -- I take my time to make stories interesting vs just writing as long as I can)

It's convenient too because some days I don't have the inspiration at all/experience writer's block so I can just post content I made over the previous few nights instead to make up for not writing anything new that day.

I also have ADHD which makes it so I can hyperfocus on writing for several hours at a time without a break. Sometimes I'll get really deep into a story where I just can't put down my phone and stop writing to go to sleep.

Thanks again for your WONDERFUL ask! It made my whole day (or night in this case, ironically because that's what it is right now for me as I'm answering this LOL -- proving my point about no sleep 😅😅)

Keep being awesome my new fan!! 🥰 And hope you enjoy more of my stories!

I was looking through my blog, saw my reblogs of your gifs, and realized I hadn't stalked scrolled through your blog in DAYS. All the Eve stuff I see in your blog always makes me do a happy, little dance. Also, I may or may not fill up your notifs again 😁

And that Daemon and Rhaenys scene?? I may or may not have ended up shipping them because of it and exploring the possibilities of their dynamic from the one or two interactions between them that was shown has certainly consumed my thoughts. All the what-ifs! But I do keep it low-key in my main blog because I usually see a lot of Daemon hate and I just wanna be in my own little corner, enjoying my thing 🙈

Awww, bless you, that's so lovely. You're very kind, I do appreciate it. It's always nice to see your username crop up in my activity. Go nuts! What more can someone ask for but engagement on their posts?

You ship Daemon and Rhaenys? How interesting! I don't, and I don't think I could really do so even for funsies, there are just too many obstacles in the way for me to do that. Fussy, I know. But I certainly do agree that they have one heck of an interesting dynamic and I would have loved to have seen more of that.

I've not seen Matt discuss those interactions very much but I have seen Eve, discuss both the look she gives Daemon after the news about Jaehaerys, and then the one scene that we have of them alone, together. And how she sees that dynamic and how she thinks Rhaenys sees Daemon, and Daemon, particularly, in that moment and within the context of that scene.

It's one of the relationships where we don't get much but there's so much history and so much inferred, even in just the first season, that you can feel fairly confident in the dynamic. You can feel it. And, for me, it's interesting just looking at how they are positioned in the world and how they pivot around the Iron Throne. The similarities and differences between them, and in how that Targaryen spirit is in them both and is expressed and presented.

The fact that they are, or were, or whatever tense you want to use, the last pillar of a bygone age, as Jaehaerys's grandchildren. There's a shared history known only to them as they go over death after death. They are part of an era now gone. There are no dragon riders as experienced as them, by a fairly decent margin, also.

Something that I wish they'd made more of an effort to represent would be that they could have been said to be the angel and devil on Rhaenyra's shoulder: they're opposites in that way, with Daemon doing damage to and Rhaenys trying to enforce Rhaenyra's authority. The aggressive vs the thoughtful. They're profoundly different people but still passionate, loyal, and fierce. Displaced, proud, independent.

I think Eve described that scene of them together as them being like a panther vs a rattlesnake, and I like what that implies: profoundly different beasts but, at the end of the day, both deadly - both predators.

read this before interacting with my posts

— My task for tonight was to personally witness Crown destroy a criminal syndicate.

However, I found out that it was a large organisation.

And so I hid myself in the shadows to avoid getting in Crown’s way—

Evil Looking Man: Hey. Isn’t this the woman that guy was with?

Scar Face Man: Let’s take her hostage. We might gain an advantage over him.

The men in front of me, likely breathless from trying to outrun Crown, looked at me with evil eyes as if they had found themselves a trump card.

(What should I do…)

(I don’t want to be weak and become a burden to them. I absolutely can’t…)

I put on a brave smile, trying hard to hide that I was trembling in fear.

Kate: Taking me hostage won’t affect them in the slightest.

Scar Face Man: Haha, you look quite lovable even with tears in your eyes. — Take her.

(...!)

The moment they reached out to grab me, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.

Roger: It’s not a private conversation if you speak that loudly. I heard everything, you know?

Kate: … Roger.

Scar Face Man: … Oi, you’re lying. You couldn't have heard us…

Evil Looking Man: What the heck is going on…

In an instant, I couldn't control myself any longer and tears fell from my eyes.

Roger: …

Roger: Pfft, hahaha! You were acting tough, and yet you’re actually scared to tears.

Roger: Haha, that’s a good sight.

(... What?)

Seeing Roger’s satisfied smile, the two men and I were dumbfounded.

Evil Looking Man: What are you laughing at!?

Roger: It has nothing to do with the two of you.

Evil Looking Man: Huh?

Roger: Just as the young lady said earlier, taking her hostage won’t change a thing.

Roger: Whatever happens to this young lady doesn’t matter to us.

Kate: …!

Roger: However— due to personal reasons, it’s my job to rescue her.

Roger: I mean, I never intended to leave you two alive in the first place.

Roger glanced at me with an invincible smile.

Roger: Close your eyes and cover your ears, young lady.

(W-What?)

In confusion, I did as I was told. As soon as I closed my eyes—

— BANG! The sound of gunfire rattled my eardrums.

Roger: You can open your eyes now.

When I opened my eyes, there was no one in sight.

The seawater was shaking unnaturally, as if “something” had been tossed into it.

Roger: If your eardrums were to be damaged, they might not ever recover fully.

I suppressed the uneasy feeling in my heart and looked at Roger.

Kate: … Why… why did you save me?

Roger: I’ve already said it. “Personal reasons”.

Roger crouched down in front of me and held my chin with his large hand.

Kate: !?

Roger: Crying faces are my most favourite thing.

Roger: You looked so cute when you cried despite not wanting to, I couldn't help myself.

Kate: Wha…!

Roger: Keep it a secret from the others that I saved you because of your crying face.

With an unreserved gaze, Roger glided his tongue across my wet cheeks.

(...!)

Kate: … Hey, what do you think you’re doing?

Roger: Hm? I’m just being affectionate.

Roger: Haha, your crying face is so darn adorable.

Roger: If you ever want my help again, show me another adorable crying face, yeah?

Alola Rotomblr!

Rotomblr. I am Hapu, Kahuna of Poni Island. It has been suggested to me that I try to socialize with others online; while I initially assumed this impossible due to my various errands–tending to the farm and also my duties as Kahuna–both of my parents agreed the idea had merit, even if it would use some work. My Trainer Card is below, since I am not sure how many people outside of Alola will know me.

Also apparently they have technology that translates text to speech and my father was able to get an earpiece for me to use, so I can talk while things are slow in the fields too! Speaking of, both of my parents will be on this account as well; I will let them introduce themselves while I take care of some of the more laborious work here with Mudsy.

Oh wait we’re on here too–Hi there! My name is Gerbera, or just ‘Bera. I’m Hapu’s father, and a botanical researcher on Akala Island! Which does sadly mean I’m not at home too often, but I drop by when I can!

Alola everyone! I am Leilani, or Leila for short. I’m Hapu’s mother and handle some of the bigger political matters of Poni Island, and Alola with the other Kahunas, as Hapu’s representative. Even though she is Kahuna now, the three of us agreed it would be wise to give her some help with matters outside of battling or tending to the gardens here.

Bera and I will just mostly be keeping an eye on things and only pop up if Hapu needs something clarified.

((OOC under the read more))

((Overall unreality warning for this blog))

Guess who fell face first down that slippery slope again, it's me!! Unlike the other two, this one has been sitting in the back of my brain for a while and was a little slower to come about, hence why I didn't put up a poll.

… that and once I saw the Alola muses crawling out of the woodwork I knew who I wanted to be once I gave into peer pressure.

But anyway! Name is Lyra, age 29, she/they. I will be following from @batscrem since this is a sideblog; anything said OOC will be tagged as such and in double parentheses ((like so.)) 

This will be a low-stakes blog; I don't have the time or emotional capacity to put characters in high stakes, so please respect that.

Should also say that since I haven't played USUM, this account will be set after the events of Sun and Moon. Meaning no recon squad or… whatever the heck happened in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

In-character posts from Hapu will be under the tag "Hapu Speaks". Her parents speaking up will be tagged "Gerbera Speaks" and "Leila Speaks" respectively.

And yes, Hapu's parents are characters on here as well because Hapu is a Minor and they are here to remind you of that. No NSFW will be tolerated on this blog.

Like Hassel, this won't be a super busy blog and I'll most likely be on @underground-boss-clay, but I will answer questions when I have the time and/or energy for them.

Ryu’s Intro!!! ⟡ ݁₊ .

Yahoo! ~ ⭑.ᐟ

Hi I’m Ryu and I’m just here.. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

I’m a writer (not rlly) and I’m currently working on an Eustass Kid X Reader fic but in the meantime I thought I should make some one shots and dabbles(of any kind doesn’t need to be nsfw or sum just wtv) and I have no one in mind other then…Eustass Kid…so if you have anyone in mind that you’d like, my asks are open! ദ്ദി๑>؂•̀๑)

Don’t let the Hu Tao vibe fool you. I am a devotee to one piece. It’s just that Hu Tao is me and I’m Hu Tao! (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

idk if I should introduce myself properly, but I will cuz why not? I’m quite a ‘loud person’ I’m quite approachable cuz I love talking to people! I’m clumsy as heck (I fell down the stairs again a few days ago matter of fact) English is not my first language and grammar just doesn’t wanna be friends with me cuz even in my own language I mess up. I hyperfixate on the most random things and I will go feral. I will. I’m Non binary! I mainly use they/them but I won’t jump at anyone’s throat if god forbid you missgender me I personally don’t mind! I’m also Demisexual and Omnisexual!

The type of works I will do on this blog will be most types! But under no circumstance will I accept any asks for anything nsfw including a minor or a child looking character for example like Itadori or Nahida. Any character that is canonically a minor or looks like one will not be acceptable. The only exception will be for teenage characters like Itadori where I will allow romantic stuff but nothing nsfw. And childlike characters will NOT be acceptable at all‼️

Also I may post some yaps or other random stuff cuz…well it’s my blog I can do whatever I want ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ)

Bye bye! ~

Linzi’s 2023 Thank You Post!

I feel like every year I get here and wonder how the heck it got to December 31st! And yet, here we are again!

Funnily enough, as I read back my 2022 thank you's I told you this blog would be changing a little... and guess what? I never really got that done! Maybe I will in 2024! (I suppose you can watch this space!)

I did however, actually write so much more this year, and posted a lot of it too, so I can say that goal was accomplished! And I hope 2024 brings more of that inspiration! To my fellow writers also! 🤗

 I would like to say thank you to everyone for being here! For still enjoying the fics I wrote years ago, and my new work too!  For those of you that have commented or DM'd me! Or for those of you that I have messaged (one of you for the first time, despite being moots for 11 years!🤯)

I would like to thank @sagitariusrising and @sufferthesea for their continued support in everything! You two always push me to write better than I ever have before, and I value your friendship and encoragement

@alotofrandomfangirling - I mean, I don't have the words to express how much the past few months has meant to me - it's been so fun idea swapping and curating with you and just getting out all the ✨FEELINGS✨ towards some of these idiot swordsmen we are catching feelings for (and their actors, too!) Thank you for being there any time I've thought "Wait, but does this even work!?" 🤣 Doubtless, there will be more times like that!

@mandy23b - Hard to believe it's going to be 5 years next year [again, you're never getting rid of me!😜] Thank you for always being someone understanding, who I can talk to about the good and bad things in this roller-coaster of a year! (And for sharing yours with me too!) You truly are my best friend, and I can't wait to see what adventures we get up to in 2024!

And - what you're really wanting to see, of course! 😉 - here are my Men of 2023! Either because I spent a lot of time with them in my head... or writing for them... or letting them live rent free in my mind (Looking at you, Serge! Your movie isn't even OUT yet!) or because I supported them this year in there respective sports (or maybe a little of all of those! 😁) What I can say for sure is every single one of them brought me joy in some capacity, and isn't that the main thing?

I'm looking forward to whatever 2024 brings! Here's to a good one! 🍾🥂

[woofs-silly-ships]

🧡Intro!💜

“There’s a million gruesome ways to die! (why stay alive?) And I’m sure your death will be second to none!!”

Ello there! This is my silly little selfship side blog to just share my f/os and gush about em! I follow and like from @woofwoofs14 , so if ya see that, that’s me :D

This post is REALLY FREAKING LONG, so I’m putting it under a cut for convenience!

Please read if you plan on following me or scrolling my blog for a bit!! Contains basic info, my f/o list, boundaries, DNI and thin ice, and my other blogs!

If you don’t want to read it all thennn:

- I’m a minor

- no I do not support Viv or even like non-AU Hazbin/helluva

- doubles are fine

- proship dni

The basics: I’m Woof, she/they/it, and a minor!! Chill with adults interacting but just don’t randomly DM me and don’t be creepy! I have diagnosed Anxiety and am looking to get an ADHD diagnosis (I’m literally certain I have it lol). My main blog is Woofwoofs14, I follow and like from there! Oh and more dni below, but… PROSHIP DNI PLEASE!!!

/imp note about F/Os!!: All but one of my F/Os are adults, and the oc I use to ship with them is an adult as well!! The one that isn’t is Ic-0n, who is canonically ageless but I hc her as being 16 due to her crush on Max, a 15 y/o. Therefore, the oc I use to selfship with her in particular is 16 as well :D! I’m a minor as well so this is fine!

Stance on doubles?: I’m polyamorous and don’t really care about doubles anyway, so I would actually love for you to interact if we share a romantic or platonic f/o!! If you’re not cool with doubles and we share an f/o, you can either block the emoji combo tag found on my f/o list, or just block me entirely. Whatever you feel most comfortable with :D! I do have boundaries when it comes to ships ya bring up around me tho:

Ship boundaries: the vast, vast majority of ships with my f/os I’m totally chill with and some I even ship myself! There are a few that make me really uncomfortable tho, so please just don’t bring these up around me and maybe don’t follow me if your blog purely centers around these ships! VoxV@l aka st@ticmoth is a huge freaking no, idc how much of it is canon or not, I don’t even selfship in canon anyway, it genuinely hurts me seeing my f/o in a relationship with an abuser. Joke or silly/stupid Marware is totally fine, because canon is already stupid enough for that to work lol, plus I love some good enemies to lovers! I’d just rather not see funny Italian plumber smooching tv man if yall get that lol, idk it just feels weird to me due to like personal headcanons and stuff, sorry!! Ribbun is another iffy one, jokes are fine but once again personal hc (gangle is lesbian grrrr) and with how Jax treats her in the show… I’d just prefer not to be bombarded by it ig. Demencia and Flug are adopted siblings to me so I’d say the same goes for that. I’ve got nothing against any of these ships (other than VoxV@l ofc…) but just personal discomfort ig!! If ya wanna talk ships, VorBee is ofc polyamory with me so that’s perfect, same with Applestatic, Radiosilence (one sided Vox x al) is canon in my AU so heck yeah, same with (don’t think it has a name but) one sided Radioapple, one sided Dem x BH is also canon and awesome (I like one sided ships ok lol-)!

F/O list?: Romantic List , working on platonic list!

Hazbin/Helluva…really?: I purely find comfort in the characters and world of the hellaverse, that’s it. I freaking hate vivziepop and will never support her, and I selfship in an AU version of the hellaverse that fixes a lot of the major issues (I’m still working on it but trust me guys). Genuinely speaking, I consider myself a part of the fandom but NOT a fan of either show. I like some fanworks, some characters with a lot of AU adjustments, and the general world. Nothing else.

💜DNI and Thin Ice🧡

Wilbur Soot: Abuser, I don’t know much about him but I’m already not a huge fan of DSMP so yeah please leave if you support him!!!

You may interact, but I will be wary if you if:

- you support Trump at all (hardcore supporters please DNI) (if you just always vote red, you're fine dw!)

- you sexualize object show characters (memes and jokes are fine, so is sfw shipping)

- you just refuse to use tone tags or the correct pronouns for some reason

- you are a big/hardcore Psychocuties fan (show is very proship-esc, Tamakuz is awful. Very very thin ice l'm sorry)

I'll probably add more later as I think of stuff!
