#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

[heffrondriving]

random life update no one the fuck asked for, yet again: got extremely burnt-out from btr mostly bc of general messy/dead online fandom vibes and that stupid shady fumking app but aye whatever let's not go there *cough* and accidentally started stanning an entirely different defunct boyband instead, oops. anyway idc oscar enestad best boy and stream fo&o for self-care, love and peace <3

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. 

[thebibliosphere]

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.

'Secret In Your Heart' Collection Event: Roger

I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by playing their games and buying stories. Not 100% accurate, expect mistakes.

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.

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! 🍾🥂

I’m so glad you liked what I sent in again for the Three Wishes part 2 (genie yandere)! I really like that I was able to help you cause your writing talent is way too good. (And as a fellow artist…I get what it’s like to be in a roadblock and the frustration that comes with it).

I actually really love reading more unusual or less well known fairy tales and mythology, so I could always send some more your way so you don’t have to do any research. (You can be lazy! Yay!) Though if you’re up for that, I think it’d be easier if I just messaged you privately instead of going back and forth with anon asks (if that’s comfortable with you of course).

I also like Reader’s “suffering” too in yandere stories. I always like stereotypical HEA, but my version of “suffering” is more so that the yandere wins (and Reader doesn’t die either or is heavily abused to the point where death is the better option. I hate where there is no heavy “dere” in yanderes, cause if it’s just “yan,” it’s just an abusive piece of shit).

That’s absolutely understandably about not wanting to focus on the Prince, I was just throwing it out there in case you wanted to make him a new important OC. And changing the Prince into a different profession also is perfectly fine. (Heck in the original story, pretty much the main reason the Prince was out and about was because he was scholarly-like. Having a deep and wide fascination with all the world had to offer. The dude really just wanted to go on an adventure and learn more).

And I’m glad 6.e. made your heart explode with delight! (I also have a guilty pleasure of thinking about all the fucked up things yanderes can do to their lover/others).

Do whatever you feel comfortable ask if you wanna stay anon or dms~ If you are thinking about spam this blog doesn't get many to to be fair. But yeah it is probably more comfortable in dms.

But just a heads up I personally don't know when I would actually start posting here again just yet. While I am slowly getting back to writing rn but I am taking the chance to write some longer stuff or more personal (deranged really) without pressuring myself to post like one or two fics every week. (also started another hobby of journalling soo) If you don't mind just exchanging ideas and stories then yeah~ ^^

Another reason why I dont want to deal with tags, hashtags and proofreading

But yeahhh hmm I deff placed a few readers in a "better death than this" while also adding to it that the reader in my head still has a fear of death but no real bad abuse???? I THINK- lmao Ehh I guess it is more so I love the idea of yanderes having control over where the reader is I guess, so controlling the area where they are, or maybe the controlling the mind or movements, or arranged marriages :p All my wips that i am working on currently is just that right now. Either one or a mix of them.

Imagine being the one that hurt someone else’s feelings

and then promptly blocking them when they said they’ve already forgiven you?? Im??

???

alright im gonna be real frank with you guys. and i’m setting this boundary now for the future. i am a yandere blog writer. not a therapist. at most you can be my acquaintance unless you actively try to approach me in discord or dms (i’m a high maintenance friend i’m afraid).

honestly speaking i’d rather you don’t vent to me (im pretty sure i have this in my rules) because i’m not in the correct headspace to be helping you.

you. dont. know. me.

i. dont. know. you.

seriously, think before you send stuff through asks.

is it necessary? is it kind? are you willing to show that to whoever might view that post? cause whatever that is out in the internet stays there.

you know what would be better to send through my asks? actual asks about my works or ocs, requests, ideas, maybe even your own works. cause guess what? it’s what this blog is about. heck even just some praise or critiques.

i don’t mean to be condescending or anything with this post, just read all this with the tone of a disappointed parent. cause that’s just today’d mood rn istg.

cause fr i understand it, ive been there. it’s why i try to entertain asks that mention depression, thoughts of unalive, or whatnot is because i’ve experience that. but there comes a point where i have to wave the white flag and say i cant deal with that anymore.

ALSO THOSE ASKS THAT KEEP ASKING FOR ANOTHER PART. LOOK I REALLY AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU GUYS LIKING MY WORK AND ANTICIPATING ANOTHER PART BUT IT GETS TIRING SEEING ALL THOSE.

anyways yeah stay safe everyone. no hate at all, i really dont want this to escalate to drama. mwah 💋

I’m most likely going to edit my rules soon as to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

[unladielike]

So since it has been brought to my attention some rumours have been circulating about me, I just wanna make a few things clear.

First off, I did not supposedly stalk anyone's blog for years.

If need be, I can even provide my IP address (aka self-dox myself) to prove any screencaps to be false, but I'm nowhere near obsessive enough to check somebody's blog everyday. Like, sure, I might visit blogs of ex-mutuals every once in a blue moon out of curiosity, but contrary to popular belief, tumblr doesn't take up 90% of my time and at best, I would maybe lurk on COAR to read new confessions or refresh my dash once per day just in case non-active partners of mine have returned.

If anything, my time has been mostly comprised of going to work and grinding mobile gachas; in fact, should I notice I have replies to write, I will log in, throw my replies into the queue/save written replies in my drafts folder to queue later, and then fuck off to do other stuff. Honestly, provided someone has beef with me, it's unlikely I would know why unless my encounter with them on tumblr had been rather recent.

To my knowledge, I haven't harassed anyone off of tumblr.

Now, did I have spats with my own fair share of people over the eight or nine years I have been on this hellsite? Yes. Have I made vague posts about ex-mutuals, unintentionally ghosted others, privately vented to friends about people from the RPC I personally can't stand, and commented on COAR confessions? Also, yes.

But that being said, the only one I've ever sent anon hate to was myself and if I played a part in somebody deactivating their blog or quitting tumblr roleplay altogether, then that's certainly news to me, because I don't like participating in public smear campaigns, to the point where I even avoid name dropping certain users in my rules or PSAs I've made. Heck, the way I see it, I can only ever recall myself being relentlessly harassed/bullied, because when it comes to me for some reason, people on this site sadly don't know how to block and move on like normal people.

I also have never encouraged anyone to delete their blogs or chase them out of the RPC and have only ever reported one person due to the fact they would not stop posting about me/attempt to provoke me into engaging in drama on a site that we both frequent despite having me blocked; therefore, I have no idea where the narrative of me harassing people off of tumblr even comes from. Besides, I'm nowhere near popular enough to influence whatever following I have to dog pile on whoever I have grievances with, let alone have many people who would go to bat for me each time I'm being unfairly criticized. Honestly, the one time someone did call out my harasser, it was something I had no control over and they did so without my permission, to the point where I did privately tell them to stop url-dropping me and engaging with this person on my behalf... because again, I just wanted to be left alone.

Furthermore, I make it very clear to mutuals I've vented to that they don't have to unfollow/block roleplayers I've had bad experiences with... so I'm not sure if this is merely a case of the Mandela Effect rearing it's ugly head, individuals making up bad faith reasons to dislike me, or an issue of mistaken identity (especially since I'm likely not the only one who goes by the mun handle, 'Livi', and it has happened before where somebody had wrongly assumed a blog belonged to another person).

Of course, it's possible I could have forgotten stuff, as I have had more than three blogs over the years, so naturally, I won't remember all the OOC posts I have ever shared, let alone every instance before 2022 where I have been involved in drama... but regardless, I refuse to take accountability for things I have never done unless you personally come to me off anon with screenshots that provide evidence.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON GAMEPLAY

short answer: 🗿

long answer: In my opinion it's one of, if not the most important factor in levels. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but quite a lot of levels have "good enough" gameplay at best. as I've heard you say before - people often forget that PA is a game and for people to enjoy your level in the game it needs to be have enjoyable gameplay. If a level is just for visuals that's totally fine!! I still like levels that are fun to watch, but I'll likely not play them at all, or come back to watch them as often since they don't have much replay value. People shouldn't expect others to play a level with really really bad gameplay, I feel like that much is obvious.

To any new creators out there - please if you're reading this, don't feel obligated to make boss levels just because the community really likes them. You can make normal levels too! I would really like to see some more normal levels that are more fun to play, it would be really nice and refreshing since practically all we get nowadays is boss levels. If you're looking for inspiration for good normal level design, look no further than Jolly Jack's levels, or the Synthwave Trials by DXL44 (yeah we're doing this again). Heck even some of Just Shapes and Beats' normal levels are really fun to play and have good design. Not gonna talk about that on this blog though, this isn't overanalysed-jsab.

But also don't feel obligated to do that either just because of this post. Seriously, do whatever you want and what you find fun.

Fandom Mama! Long time no ask. I am seeing stuff on Twitter about Chloe/Daisy being in Secret Invasion that I thought you would be best to ask you. Is she in it?

Hi Anon,

To my knowledge, NO, Chloe/Daisy will not be in Secret Invasion, she said as much in a recently interview. And before anyone yells at me, yes I know very well Marvel has NDA's, actors have lied, and and hides things all the time. But I still don't think we will see here, there is just no indication that the story or the MCU is going into Inhumans/Secret Warriors right now. And usually there is something, somewhere, that has leaked from set, just a little to hint of that surprise. I have heard none of those rumblings.

I wholly own I could be wrong on this one. I know there are people out there that are very confident she will show up. I've been on that I will die on this hill confident about a theory over the years too. I've hit and missed over the years, but like my overall track record on the whole theorizing and predicting things. For me the fun was in the predicting, research, discussions, asks, and metas.

I am not on the die on this hill with Daisy being in Secret Invasion.

Will I enjoy it if she doesn't show up, you bet! I'm so excited for this one.

Will I enjoy it if she does show up, you bet! I'm so excited for this one.

It will be really nice to watch a who can you trust kind of show and not be petrified about it and its fallout like I was during AOS.

If IF, Daisy does appear in Secret Invasion I can not emphasize enough that IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME DAISY WE KNOW AND LOVE FROM AOS.

I've well established in many asks that thanks to the time loop AOS is off in a whole other branch of the timeline about a forest away from where the MCU is now. And the show was running years behind where Endgame would up. So our, Deke's and whatever many time streams they spun off via the loops and making waves in the Season 7 timeline is off in their own happy little worlds. Fitzsimmons have HEA in Perthshire (they will pry that from my cold dead hands), Robo Coulson is off seeing the world, May is running the Academy, Mack is the Director, Elena is the top Agent with Piper and Robo Davis, and Daisy is an Astro Ambassador with Sousa and Kora (again you will take that from my cold dead hands).

If Daisy shows up she will have a completely new backstory that will fit with what the writers of Secret Invasion needed. No team family, different origin story, no Sousa, different attitude and personality, heck a different take on her powers could happen. We saw in Season 7 how changes to the timeline, big and small, could impact things down the line. Then there was the fresh take we got on Ghost Rider on the show, completely different than the one we'd seen on screen years ago. Robbie's story was adjusted to fit the AOS 4a storyline.

Robbie is also proof AOS is way off in its own timeline thanks to the Darkhold.

At this point I think its best for everyone to just settle in for the ride. Unless we get an ABC intern level of finale photo leak, rip rando intern we love you, we are likely not to get any confirmation either way until the show actually airs.

Its totally cool to hope for it if you want it. While its totally cool to be against it if you don't. And its fine to be in the middle and just be along for the ride like I am. As usual have fun with the theorizing and Manage Expectations. Please...don't make me dig through my blog for that post again.
