SFTH FAQ and Info Masterpost
This is kinda long so
sfth info:
General info
Sam and Tom’s last names being different sometimes
Shark Friend, Mr Wompa and Squidboi terms origins
the boys degrees
information about what you get with patreon
navigating patreon
roll from the hip
wing it
All sfth youtube videos have been subtitled in English by the amazing subtitle team, as well as many other languages too!! The people who have done them are credited in the video descriptions. Patreon subtitles are being worked on, currently all the Patreon improvised plays are subtitled and some of the fringe shows :)
Unfortunately some sfth videos (especially on tiktok) have been stolen and uploaded as an attempt to impersonate sfth’s account. Please try to report these accounts!! Sfth are verified now, so it’s easier to see which is the real them.
Obviously there’s no rules on tumblr but as a general courtesy to the guys, consider keeping in mind:
Don’t share patreon links (which is probably a patreon rule anyway) and keep clips of patreon things under 2 minutes. Screenshots and discussions are fine!! (As some people have been wondering) Personally, I use the “#sfth patreon” tag so anyone who wants to filter it out can
Don’t share old sfth content around, such as videos and photos of them from years ago from accounts that aren’t theirs. They’ve stated they don’t want this done.
[again, tumblr doesn’t have rules- I’m just making some things known that respect the guy’s wishes]
links to stuff:
The Current fanfiction masterlist and also the Fanfiction masterlist- no longer updated (both lists are mine, fics are of many different authors all credited through the ao3 links) and also an ao3 page with mostly all sfth fics by @bbatcat-09
ao3 guide a relationships ao3 tagging guide and a revised ao3 tagging guide (specific for the sfth fandom) (all by the incredible @youling-the-ghost)
List of games that sfth have posted (by @letsbesharkfriends)
sfth fan wiki (by @youling-the-ghost, I and others have also contributed a little but it’s mostly him :))

tier list maker for all the longforms including patreon by @ardenofthegarden
sfth discord info by me
sfth videos youtube game playlists by @goingroundincircles-ontrack
info about sfth’s youtube membership “The Beetroot Brigade” by me:
How to join if it’s not working for you
what exactly it is
search “#sfth asks” on my blog to find any asks about or relating to sfth- it’s not just questions, but there is a great deal of questions that you might find yours answered by :) I’m always happy to get asks and to help out with any questions!!! I’ve also started tagging “#sfth faq’s” recently for things that I think others might want to know
You should check out all the amazing fanart too under “#sfth fanart”!!! (also sneaky self promotion that I make fanart sometimes lol “#emu draws” is my art tag :))
feel free to @, dm me or send asks anytime if you have any sfth related questions or wanna obsess over it with me :)

Are introductions still a thing?
Honestly, I don’t know. I’m not on social media enough to know, because I tend to try and stay out of many fandom spaces requiring social interaction these days. As the years have gone by, experience has just taught me that I’m not all that comfortable being a person on the internet. I do best in small conversations with one or two people, social media overwhelms me quickly and I don’t like being forced to choose sides, which unfortunately can happen in fandom.
I am very happy though for anyone who wants to to contact me via DM or send me asks – since Soundwave/Optimus Prime is such a small ship I figured I could give it a try, because well, there’s not that much content and people who engage with it anyway, so it might work for me.
For those who are interested, the Soundwave/Optimus Prime content I’ve written so far:
Duty, Nothing More
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35667928/chapters/88931266
Optimus Sex for Soundwave series
https://archiveofourown.org/series/3001815
Also, for the record: I’m fine with constructive criticism on my fics or people critically discussing my fics in their own spaces and blogs. I don’t subscribe to the notion that just because someone read my fic and liked it, they are now required to absolutely adore it and speak of it only in the most glowing terms. Tastes differ. Preferences differ. My decisions on what I’m going to lean into vary between fics, my own opinion on fics I’ve written changes over time. It’s perfectly fine to like something and still dislike some aspects of it, and to discuss either in a respectful way.
If you want to give constructive criticism, however, please comment on the fic itself or DM me so I know you actually want me to read what you have to say. Ultimately, the only thing I’ll take personally are personal attacks.
Avatar and banner art made by my favourite beta.
ETA: I follow people the old-fashioned way – by having a browser bookmark for their blog. The Tumblr dash confuses me …

I know this is a couple weeks late but I was fortunate enough to attend the Sundance Film Festival again this year (I live in Utah so that makes it leagues more accessible/affordable) and I loved all of the films that I was able to see. If anyone wants to know about any of them feel free to reblog/comment/send me an ask/dm. I would recommend all of the films/shorts I saw (with a few caveats/trigger warnings/etc which I can elaborate on if anyone is curious).
Sundance 2025 films I saw (bold are directed by women, * featured a q&a with filmmakers):
Folktales*
Cutting Through Rocks*
Deaf President Now!
Rains Over Babel*
Atropia
The Wedding Banquet
Short films:
Flower Show
Inkwo For When The Starving Return*
Luz Diabla*
Caries
Field Recording
Como Si La Tierra Se Las Hubiera Tragado
Paradise Man (ii)*
Hurikán*
The Things We Keep
Swollen
Bunnyhood
Em & Selma Go Griffin Hunting
Jesus 2
Platanero
I am going to specifically recommend the documentary "Cutting Through Rocks" as it is very explicitly a feminist story. It follows a woman named Sara who lives in a small village in rural Iran as she runs for her local council/regional government, advocates for better material conditions for the women in her village, encourages women and girls to be bold, pursue education, and not accept child marriage, and generally behaved in a gender non-conforming way. Obviously, this upsets and angers a lot of men and Sara receives a lot of pushback for the change she is trying to make. One of the most impactful moments of the film for me
(spoilers below, idk if they're even spoilers for a documentary bc this is an actual woman's life not a story but anyway)
Someone in town essentially accuses her of being a lesbian, not in those exact terms, but reports that she meets with women alone in her home at night and she has taken in a teen girl whose parents agreed to let her stay with Sara while the girl tries to get a divorce from her 30-something husband (and oh my god watching even 2 minutes of the legal process for a CHILD to get a divorce in Iran is absolutely infuriating).
The documentary does not confirm whether or not Sara is a lesbian and her sexuality is never a topic of discussion for Sara, but the fact that she is an independent unmarried (divorced) midwife in her 40s who will not be silenced by men is an indicator that something is fundamentally wrong with her in the eyes of the patriarchal system. This is made explicit when she is told to appear before a judge (alone, though that seems to be the normal procedure) who explains these accusations to Sara and tells her she may have to get sex reassignment surgery. Essentially, her unwillingness to participate in her own subjugation means she must not be a real woman because to be a woman is to be subordinate to men and if women's inferiority is just their natural role why would a woman feel like she deserves more?
It just put into such stark clarity that gender is not a game, not a quirk, not a fun set of personality traits to mix and match: men created gender to oppress women and then use it to justify their violence and tyranny.
I hope that everyone gets to see this film and especially the women who live in rural Iran whose stories need room to grow and flourish.

Hi Miss Jade 🎀
Please could I ask some questions about my soft limits/ things that make me a little more anxious than anything I’ve ever tried before?
I feel kinda nervous asking these questions and it’s taken me a few days to pluck up the courage to send them so as soon as I do I’ll probably throw my phone across the room! I wanted to ask about some questions about my soft limits of thats okay? I’ve never discussed these with anyone and it makes me nervous wanting to start to explore them alone / with someone when the time is right. I have a really open friend group, we actually formed through the LGBTQIA+ clubbing scene in my current city so conversations with them are incredibly inclusive, open and judgement free - so I can talk to them about anything without being scared. And what makes me feel even luckier is the LGBTQIA+ scene in my current city is extremely kink friendly and so are my friends. Anyway here we go 🫣 (I’d say most of these are pretty standard sex acts, from other things I’ve been into before, but they terrify me all the same.)
🍓Period Sex (it’s something I’ve done once or twice, but honestly makes me so nervous each time. It always feels great but I think it could feel better if I wasn’t so in my head and embarrassed about something so natural. Logically, I know I have no problem giving when someone else is on their period, it doesn’t bother me at all, but when it comes to myself it makes me anxious and feel all weird about my body. Do you have any recommendations of things to try or to help with that?)
🍓Plugs (I’ll be honest I’ve never explored anything in the past, I’ve been asked by partners but I’ve always maintained firm boundaries here. I’ve read a lot about certain scenarios and I think in someways I can see the benefits of say wearing a plug whilst having sex or masturbating because I like feeling full (omg I’m cringing at myself already) Even exploring it on my own makes me nervous but I know it’s something I’ll have to try and then put aside if I realise it’s not for me. I don’t think I would ever try more than a plug. (if you have any ideas of easing me into this sort of exploration I’d be all ears. And if there’s anything you’d recommend, if this worked for me, to start testing my limits, I’d love to try and understand that more.)
🍓Gags (okay so gags have always been a hard limit of mine, the sensory idea of them makes my body feel all weird. I think there still incredibly hot and I was wondering if you had any ideas to introduce that sort of thing? I hope it doesn’t sound silly but the idea of breaking my teeth and not being able to breathe completely freaks me out, and though I know this logically and I can reinforce to myself this is not going to be the case - my brain still wants to send me for a loop each time 😂 even knowing they are safe)
Thank you for talking your time to listen to my awkward rambling. I really appreciate everything you do and the safe space you create for our community. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself, have a lovely weekend! My DM’s will also be forever open to you & my other mutuals if that is easier. Sending you forehead kisses and so many cuddles!
~🍓soph <3
My precious Soph,
First of all, let me say how proud I am of you, my sweet darling.
You’ve clearly spent time thinking about your needs, your curiosities, and your limits, and that alone tells me you’re already on the right path. The courage it took to write this, to share something so personal and tender? It absolutely deserves to be honored. And sweetheart, you did so beautifully.
Now, let’s unwrap these one at a time together, shall we? No pressure, no shame, just two minds meeting gently in the middle.
Period Sex: Oh, my sweet one, I hear you. Period sex can be such a vulnerable topic, and even if you know logically it’s natural and fine, it doesn’t always quiet those little insecurities inside, does it? One soft way to help ease yourself into feeling more comfortable is by starting in the bath or shower. Whether you’re alone or with a partner, the warm water can feel soothing against your skin and help wash away some of the mental noise you’re battling. The shower head in particular can be a lovely way to play, both for solo exploration and with a partner. It can feel indulgent, a little luxurious, and very intimate without putting you on full visual display if that's something that makes you tense. Plus, some very delicious scenes can unfold there if you let yourself relax into it.
Other things that can help ease this is control and environment.
Use darker sheets or towels, something plush and cozy that feels intentional rather than "covering up."
Start slowly. Let yourself be touched and worshipped without rushing toward penetration if it makes you nervous at first.
And remember, your partner is there because they want all of you, not in spite of your body’s natural cycles.
Please remember that period sex is not dirty. Your body is not shameful. It is, in fact, another beautiful layer of your sensuality, and it deserves to be treated that way. With softness. With reverence.
Plugs: Mmm, now you’re speaking my language, sweet one. I adore plugs because they can look so pretty. And the key to introduce plugs is to start smaller and slower than you think you need to.
Begin simply by becoming comfortable with gentle, external touch, tracing, massaging, exploring.
Introduce a finger first, with plenty of lubricant and no pressure to go further than feels good.
Only once you’re relaxed and feeling curious, you can try a very small, beginner plug, think soft, flexible, and not too long. Remember, fullness is earned over time. It’s not a race. I love working a submissive up gradually, letting their body become attuned to the sensations, learning to crave the stretch because it feels good, not because it’s rushed.
It can help knowing there is Domme's out there that loves this act. I for one would have been thrilled if I was your Domme and got the pleasure of introducing you to this.
And just so you know, you’re not cringing. You’re being brave. And it’s beautiful to witness. Including another ask I answered about plugs: here
Gags: Oh darling heart, not silly at all. Not even a little. Hard limits exist for a reason, and even softening a hard limit into a "maybe one day" curiosity deserves immense respect and caution.
If gags fascinate you but still set off alarm bells, start with symbolic gagging before introducing any physical object:
Covering your mouth with a hand can be just as exciting without the panic.
A soft scarf or ribbon loosely held can let you feel "restrained" without cutting off breath or causing fear.
Even simply being told “stay silent” can evoke that same submissive sensation of being gagged, without ever placing anything in your mouth.
Later, if you wish to try a physical gag, start with something soft and adjustable like a bit gag (like what’s used for pony play) or even just placing a finger across your lips as a symbolic gesture. You don’t have to rush it. You don’t have to do it at all. Your body’s instincts deserve to be honored, and no kink is worth your peace of mind.
Now to end this I want you to know how deeply I admire your heart. You’ve done something brave and I hope you feel held in that. You deserve exploration without fear. You deserve partners (and spaces) who meet your uncertainty with patience, not pressure. Curiosity is not consent, it’s an invitation to learn. And you've already begun.
And yes… you may absolutely come to me anytime. No more phone throwing, okay. Let’s talk. Let’s explore. Let’s honor you exactly as you are.
Sending you the gentlest kisses on your forehead, and warm arms to hold all the questions you carry.
xo Miss Jade

[ENG sub/translation] Bojan Cvjetićanin: "Slovenia is too small for Tinder" (podcast)
Tumblr media
Bojan Cvjetićanin on Cosmopolitan podcast, originally published on the 15th of September 2020 here. Podcast host: Anamarija Lukovec. Translation by @varianestoroff, native English proofreading by TWT @/klámstrákur.
This is an audio-only podcast, but you can listen and read the subtitles along with it here:
youtube
or you can read the full transcript in this post!
Teaser:
Bojan: I don't want to be available... available with a click. I want to be available in that if I am sitting in a bar, anyone can come up to me, that any girl can come up to me and ask me, I don't know, “Would you like to have a drink with me?”, “Can I have your number?”, whatever. Which doesn't happen anymore anyway, but...
Full transcript under the cut!
Host: Hi, believe it or not, the Cosmo Podcast is back. And it's back for a new, changed second season. Some things will stay the same, some things will change a little. And the very first thing that remains the same is that ... it remains the same that I will still be in front of the microphone. My name is Anamarija Lukovec and I'm the executive editor of Cosmopolitan.
In fact, I was thinking that we don't even know each other. We don't even know each other, actually. Even if you've heard all the episodes from last season, you probably don't know anything about me. I don't know anything about you. So I will introduce myself with one piece of information, which has somehow defined the new season. I notice in myself that I have many opinions that are not widely held. And also that, [while we] as a society are promoting ourselves as increasingly open-minded, free-thinking, accepting, we often act very hypocritically and are even Hostile to opinions that are not in line with ours, or with some opinions that are accepted by the majority.
So I want every guest of mine who comes to the new season of the podcast to present their unpopular opinion as a starting point for our discussion. To break taboos, to talk about things that may often go unheard to educate ourselves, and perhaps to anger or soothe our souls. Okay. Yes, and I'd really like to get to know you too, I'd like to know who you are, who's basically a Cosmo Podcast listener, so I'm inviting you, to send me your ideas, your secrets, your compliments, your complaints. Or you can just write, "Hi". I suggest Instagram for that. You can DM me at lunaticpoetry. It's L-U-N-A-T-I-C-P-O-E-T-R-Y. And yes, I don't use my real name, more on that another time.
So yeah, if you're up for it, we can get started and kick off a new season of the podcast. My first guest, yes, it's a male guest, not a female guest, I can't believe it, a round of applause... he's a musician, singer, frontman of the band Joker Out, Bojan Cvjetićanin. I'm sure you know him. I am sure you have a very good reason for knowing him. Bojan came to talk to me about relationships, dating, girls...
Before that, before we did the podcast, he also made a video. We invited him for a blind date in front of the camera because Bojan is single, wink wink. So yeah, I invite you, after you're done listening to the podcast, to click over to youtube.com/cosmopolitanslovenija where you can watch the blind date with Bojan¹.
And yes, let's start, right. Hi Bojan.
Bojan: Hi.
Host: How was your first blind date on camera?
Bojan: I was a bit nervous because I hadn't been on any blind dates before, and then the first time it was in front of the camera, oh my gosh. The camera catches everything, you can't hide anything. But I think I did a great job. The girl was great too.
Host: Do you think maybe you two have a future together?
Bojan: I don't know. I don't know. I must take a look at the crystal ball at home.
Host: Ah ok. In fact, our topic for today, your unpopular opinion, is also a little bit about love, dating, and so on. Can you just reveal your thoughts?
Bojan: My unpopular opinion, I don't know how unpopular it really is, but it is that Slovenia is too small for Tinder.
Host: Okay. And why do you think so?
Bojan: I feel that way because it seems to me that we all know someone who knows someone, and in Slovenia, this kind of social network very quickly turns into something where in the end everybody knows everybody and Tinder, at least in my experience, is quite, how should I say... funny, because you very quickly come across people you know.
Host: But maybe Slovenia is too small for dating in general? Because sooner or later you find, meet, date someone who someone you know has dated or been in contact with.
Bojan: I think it is. In fact, it is... We have this concept of dating, which I think is very different from the American one. In America, it's normal to go out with someone a couple of times a week and then, if you like them, you go to another one and maybe something develops. I don't think that exists here. Here, if you like someone a lot, you write to them on Instagram and then, if you're lucky, they say you can go out and two days later everyone knows.
Host: Yes, pretty much.
Bojan: Then you are off the list for all her friends.
Host: You close the door.
Bojan: Yes
Host: Do you think that makes us slower to go public with our relationships?
Bojan: Shoot, I don't know. Maybe we are a bit more secretive about it then, because of that, because we want to keep that certain feeling that the whole city doesn't know exactly who you're with but then all your friends are thinking about whether they know someone who was with your girlfriend or for girls if one of them was with her boyfriend.
Host: But perhaps the biggest problem here is that we are somehow closing our options, when we decide too quickly whether to be with someone
Bojan: To close our options with others?
Host: Yeah, let's say, because you know that if you're with a girl, then you probably won't go out with her friends or acquaintances. Well...
Bojan: In fact, that's probably pretty true, yes. Because I already feel that since we tend to introduce our friends to our online followers, and you're usually with them on stories and in photos, it would be a bit strange if one of your acquaintances dated the same person two months later, when you [and that person] were previously in the same pictures.
Host: And everyone would know. And suddenly you have a soap opera in front of the whole world.
Bojan: Right.
Host: Since you said Tinder is too small for Slovenia, you probably have your own experience with Tinder. You mentioned something earlier when we were filming. Would you tell us a little bit about your encounter with this app?
Bojan: I have a rather funny experience with Tinder. I was very interested to see what it was like. And of course I had to download it. And I made a profile, I put like three photos up and so on. And then I started getting screenshots of my Tinder profile in Instagram messages from some followers, “Oh my god, is that you?”, “Hey, is that you?”, and so I was like, “No, it's not me, no. It's a fake profile. It's a fake profile.” And it felt really awkward so I deleted it immediately.
Host: But why did you feel awkward?
Bojan: I actually made one because I was curious...
Host: In what it is like?
Bojan: In what it is like. This user experience. You actually see people and you just swipe them and there are no consequences. Nothing happens if you swipe someone left or if you swipe someone right. And I found that very interesting. But then I realised, yes, okay, but now it can be public opinion that I need to look for a girlfriend through an online service.
Host: Girlfriend. Or a one night stand.
Bojan: Right.
Host: Do you think public opinion is generally negative towards online dating? Because it seems to me there it is a kind of stigma, or something people are hesitant about when going online to look for love or a partner, because it's, I don't know...
Bojan: I think that this ‘Frendi in Flirt’ (‘Friends and Flirting’)² started when I was little and then the whole story was that these are services for people who are desperate. Both Tinder and these apps have normalised things a lot, I think, because it's virtually at everyone's fingertips. You sign in with that one click to connect with Facebook or you make a password and that's it. It used to be a process of making a profile and a photo and put the age and blah blah blah. And it was a bit more official, I think, when you decided to take that step. Now it's not a step anymore, now it's just, I download it in my room at home and in three minutes I have Tinder. So I don't think there is that much stigma about online dating anymore, I also know a lot of people who are in some kind of relationship through this, so I'd say there's still a bit of that, okay, LOL, you met on Tinder, there is no stigma of being a sad loner, someone desperate.
Host: By going on Tinder, you are basically admitting to the whole world or to all people who will see you there, that you are looking for something. And that's a bit awkward for us to admit. Yes, I am looking for something.
Bojan: Yes, in fact it is. I also... that was one of the reasons I deleted it. I mean, what is there for me to find now, you know?
Host: I'm cool on my own.
Bojan: Yeah, I mean, no, I'm cool on my own, but that, well, not everyone needs to know, that I am now looking for something, and that I am very available. Do you know what the cool thing is? That... I don't want to be available... available with a click. I want to be available in that if I am sitting in a bar, anyone can come up to me, that any girl can come up to me and ask me, I don't know, “Would you like to have a drink with me?”, “Can I have your number?”, whatever. Which doesn't happen anymore anyway, but... I would like to be available like that. But I don't want to be available for someone who can just swipe on me.
Host: Yes, yes, okay. Now, you said that a couple of girls screenshotted your Tinder and then sent it to you on Instagram. Did those same girls, for example, message you directly on Instagram?
Bojan: You mean directly on Tinder?
Host: Yes. No. Yes. Or directly on Instagram. Let's say, okay, on Tinder, if you didn't swipe them, they couldn't get to you...
Bojan: Yeah, probably then they wouldn't be able to.
Host: But then they wrote to you on Instagram, probably in some, I don't know, wishful thinking to get in touch with you. Why do you think they don't go directly to Instagram? Why... Seeing you on Tinder gave them a green light: "Oh, in fact, he is free, I can write to him."
Bojan: Maybe. But I also think it is a much easier way to just communicate something that already exists, than to start a conversation yourself. That's the same as, I don't know, I think most of the time, if we're sliding into someone's DMs, we're sliding through some story first or something you can reply to. It's much easier to reply back to something they've posted, than starting a conversation from scratch, where you let the person know you've come with the purpose that you want to get to know them and initiate a relationship. Like that looks so innocent: I'm just replying to what you posted.
Host: Can you explain to me this game of sliding in the DMs, because I'm a bit out of the loop?
Bojan: Okay. Honestly, I don't know what can I tell you, because I don't practice it at such a level either. I have two ways to slide into the DMs, I think. One is that if I see something on a story that I actually find interesting or funny, I slide into the DMs and I don't really mean to initiate anything else. And I just comment on what went on there, and sometimes a really interesting conversation starts afterwards. But sometimes you really do just reply, because why not?
Host: Okay. You've camouflaged it so well now that no girl will be able to tell exactly what you want the next time you slide.
Bojan: Yes.
Host: Good. But what do you think happened to the actual old school approach towards a girl or towards a guy in person?
Bojan: I mean, it has changed completely, but now, basically, now that I think about it, I wouldn't dare say which way. I definitely think it is much easier if you see someone outside and you like them, wait until you get home and text them on Instagram, "Hey, saw you in town." Or whatever. "Would you like to go for a coffee with me?" Asking someone out for coffee rather than actually approaching them.
On the other hand, it seems to me that since we are all so exposed on these social networks, giving our followers the impression that they are somehow present in our lives, letting them into all kinds of situations, so that I could say that people feel as if they're already your friends somehow, before they even know you. So maybe in a way... basically, I will say, I think it's much easier for people to get to you at parties now, because they feel that they are somehow already connected, or that they already know something about you and can initiate a conversation based on something you do or post and share on your social networks. In the city, when you see someone, it's easier to wait until you get home and then write to them on Instagram.
But the last time I went out for ice cream with a friend, a dude actually came along and he was like, "Hi, can I just grab you for a second?" and I thought that some Jehovah's Witness was going to start selling some books there. And the guy actually came and told my friend that he couldn't resist, because he liked her so much that he just came to ask for her contact, to take her out for a drink and I was like "Wow, what a gentleman."
Host: Plus you were there.
Bojan: I was there. The first thing he asked, he was very polite, the first thing he asked was if we were a couple. I said no, go ahead. And he was, indeed, extremely kind. A very polite guy.
Host: And did she give it to him?
Bojan: Hey, she gave him her Facebook, I think. I don't know if they went out after that, I have no idea. But it was pretty impressive for me, he got respect points from me.
Host: Cool. How do you act if you see one girl somewhere and you like her?
Bojan: I usually try to find out who the girl is as quickly as possible, then sneak into some of the places where she's hanging around, you know?
Host: Aha, oh, but that's...
Bojan: I mean, ok, that sounded a little bit creepy now.
Host: No, no, it's fine.
Bojan: I watched two episodes of that show, 'She'...
Host: ‘She'?
Bojan: Isn't 'She' the series?
Host: ‘You'?
Bojan: ‘You'. That, yes, sorry. Yeah, I've just realised that I've been that dude, very creepy.
Host: They're probably people you have something in common with, you don't just...
Bojan: Yes, I didn't mean like sneaking in, just going out somewhere, but I meant more along the lines of, ok, now I see she's going to Kino Šiška for an event and then I will go there on purpose, even if I wasn't planning to otherwise. For example, you just invite a friend for a beer and watch out for where she is.
Host: How would you describe your love life or the current situation?
Bojan: I am extremely single. I don't know what you call it. Single and ready to mingle.
Host: To mingle.
Bojan: But actually, I don't know, I'm not looking for anything. I'm in a period now in which I'm like, trying to devote myself as much as possible to music and all that. So I try to be as creative as possible and not let any unnecessary thoughts distract me from being creative. But if anything ever happens, I'm always open to socialising.
Host: Since we were just talking about Tinder earlier. Tinder is also often associated with certain modern relationships, which often have some negative connotations. Undefined relationships and indecisiveness. Blablabla. Fuckboys, etc. But do you think this is really a new culture?
Bojan: From what I hear from acquaintances who live in slightly bigger countries, Tinder is actually just there as a means to get to non-committal sex very quickly. In Slovenia... given that I've never actually used it properly, I don't know exactly. But I suppose, knowing people who are in serious relationships, that people here take it a bit more as... actually seeing someone, they might like each other and go out and get to know each other. But there are almost certainly a lot of people who are only there for the sex. I mean...
Host: Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Bojan: No, I mean, I don't think it's bad at all, really, because if two people are physically attracted to each other and if they are actually safe in their physical relationship, which is to say, approaching the matter safely, I see absolutely no problem with that, honestly.
Host: Do you have any personal objections, like what you wouldn't do in a relationship or romance? Given that so many things are so okay and acceptable nowadays and things are...
Bojan: What do you mean?
Host: I don't know.
Bojan: Be more specific.
Host: Let's say open relationships, cheating...
Bojan: Aha. Okay, I've practically only been in a serious relationship once and when I was in the serious relationship I would never have thought of an open relationship and I never cheated. It honestly seems to me that if two people date in an open relationship and it works for them or rather, it suits them, then I have no problem. But if two people are in a monogamous relationship, cheating is one thing that's very, very wrong to me, I do not support it at all. So, I have nothing against open unions, I would not practice them myself. At least not for now. I have a very negative attitude towards cheating.
Host: Personally, I think Slovenia is totally too small for cheating in general, we don't approve of it.
Bojan: Absolutely.
Host: But how do you think this even works? People still do it.
Bojan: Hey, in fact, people do it full on. I mean, I have a big circle of people around me and I hear many stories and I, personally, with this anxiety that I have inside, I couldn't even manage these master plans and combine multiple hidden lives. I don't know. But some people actually enjoy it very much.
Host: You really have to have a lot of time to do that. It must be a hobby for you.
Bojan: It must be, I guess, a hobby for you, but you must really not feel sorry for your partner. Because you always find out in the end, undoubtedly always. Never...
Host: I think you find out before you even cheat. For example, when we were looking for a girl to go on a blind date with you the other day, a colleague contacted a girl. Before she even heard back from her, that girl's brother told her that he already knew she'd been looking for his sister. So within fifteen minutes it got around. So, let's say, one example of how quickly information gets around Slovenia.
Bojan: Well, here we go. Pretty awkward.
Host: Considering you're a young musician and I kind of feel like you musicians have a reputation for certain qualities when it comes to women and relationships. Would you say that you are the usual, stereotypical womaniser, someone who breaks women's hearts? Because I'm sure someone would believe that you are.
Bojan: Yes, I know that too, they are convinced that I am. I think, that at least here, some Casanova style Mick Jagger rock'n'roll version is impossible, because it's one thing to be in Los Angeles one day and New York the next. I would absolutely not call myself a womaniser. I choose the relationships I have very carefully. But I am very flirtatious. I do very much enjoy flirting, actually, not at all because I would have expected any starting point from this, we know what I mean by that. But just for that, because it's actually a lot of fun to give someone some playful signals and receive them back. I think it's a bit like, it gets your adrenaline flowing a bit, it's not harmful at all, I'm sure it releases hormones of happiness and joy along with it, so I think that it's only healthy and that people should be more flirtatious in general.
Host: How do you make yourself more flirtatious? Let's say, it seems to me that it really depends on someone's nature.
Bojan: It's in our natures, but I think people just need to relax and open up a bit. I think most people have feelings inside them, but they don't dare to express them. I mean, if I like... if I like a girl, I have no problem with that, if we look at each other, catch each other's eyes, I'll smile nicely, I don't know, if it's appropriate at the moment, I don't know, I'll wink. Or something. You know what I mean? Not winking like this, "What's up babygirl?", but in a way that is playfully flirtatious. Whatever. I think people need to realise that these things are not a crime and that someone won't hold a grudge against you if you smile at them beautifully, [or] if you initiate a small conversation, because that is just a small part of our lives and [we are just] creating some bonds, so I think showing emotion is a very important thing.
Host: But what if I linked it to, let's say, cheating? How would you feel if your partner or you flirted with others while you were in a relationship? Would you consider that cheating?
Bojan: I wouldn't consider it cheating, but it would probably bother me, so I'd want to talk about it.
Host: How would you defend your generation, to which perhaps the older generations ascribe many prejudices, looking at the way we... what kind of relationships we have, how we socialise?
Bojan: I think it is very easy for each generation to look at the younger generation and... to look down on the younger generation and judge them, because maybe things were a little different in their time. All these things are very much linked to the whole lifestyle we have. It's not just the way young people are in relationships today, or the kind of life as a couple they have, because it's all connected to our whole lifestyle and living on the internet, travelling the world at every moment and blablabla. I find that very hypocritical of them, given that they are a generation, or okay, maybe they're a bit younger than this generation, but they were nevertheless this certain generation of this free love, psychedelia, who used sex and drugs to push back on the war. So it seems to me that this particular delinquency was far from being invented by us but it dates back to ancient times. So I think for all people, who think that young people today have invented some perversions, open relationships, gayness, and so on should read a book from ancient Greece or Rome and see, that Caligula³ lived all this two thousand years ago.
Host: Just a little less hidden, I guess.
Bojan: Yes, maybe.
Host: Would you be up for a challenge? Since you said you're not a womaniser.
Bojan: Yes.
Host: I have a BuzzFeed test here.
Bojan: BuzzFeed test?
Host: Are you a fuckboy? Do you want to take it?
Bojan: Okay, let's go.
Host: Have you ever sent a "You up?" text? "Are you sleeping?"
Yes, once. I promise.
No, never.
Yeah, that's my go-to move.
Bojan: No. I don't think so, really.
Host: Have you ever cheated on someone?
Bojan: No.
Host: You said it. "Have you ever sent an unwanted picture of your "little friend"?
Bojan: No.
Host: Have you ever sexted more than one person at the same time?
Bojan: Yes.
Host: Have you slept with two people in the same week?
Bojan: No.
Host: Have you ever made up an excuse to leave immediately after sex?
Bojan: I think, yes.
Host: Have you ever convinced someone that you didn't need to use a condom?
Bojan: No.
Host: I would never. Okay. Have you ever posted a picture without your shirt on?
Bojan: Yes, indeed. In fact, I must have been shirtless a couple of times in the stories now, but I posted one shirtless photo two years ago.
Host: Ok.
Bojan: At sea.
Host: Yes, yes. Do you think all of your exes are "crazy bitches"?
Bojan: No.
Host: Have you ever asked a girl to send nudes?
Bojan: Yes.
Host: Have you ever bragged about girls you've been with?
Bojan: Like openly?
Host: Yes.
Bojan: No.
Host: Have you complained about being "friendzoned"?
Bojan: Almost certainly.
Host: Ok. Have you ever sent that emoji of a monkey covering its eyes?
Bojan: No.
Host: Do you have any...
Bojan: What is this monkey's thing?
Host: I don't know, maybe... it's some fuckboy hallmark, I don't know.
Do you have any V-neck tees?
Bojan: Mhm.
Host: Do you wear them?
Bojan: My mum bought them for me, so I guess it's not really fuckboyish.
Host: Yes. Do you have any tattoos that are only visible while wearing a V-neck?
Bojan: No.
Host: Do you have any tattoos?
Bojan: No, I don't.
Host: Have you ever slid into a girl's Twitter DMs?
Bojan: I don't have Twitter.
Host: What about Instagram? We said yes.
Bojan: Yes.
Host: Are you in a band? Yees.
Bojan: Yes.
Host: You see, the hallmark of fuckboys. Are you a DJ?
Bojan: No. I mean, if she wants, I can be a DJ.
Host: Could be: "No, but my friend is this like super poppin' DJ".
Bojan: Yes, it could, it's true.
Host: Oh, it doesn't work.
Bojan: Can't fix it anymore?
Host: No. What are Top-Sider⁴?
Bojan: I don't know.
Host: We'll put... oh, it's some shoes.
Bojan: Then I'm sure not, because I only wear one pair of trainers, and that's these.
Host: I don't think that's it. Have you ever introduced a girl you've been dating as your "friend"?
Bojan: No.
Host: Have you ever randomly texted a girl you booty called more than a year ago?
Bojan: Booty called? Wait, what if I what?
Host: If you've been with a girl then, after a long time, you write her a random message.
Bojan: Almost certainly, yes.
Host: But were you genuinely interested in how her life was going or just a little bit because you saw her on Instagram?
Bojan: I think only because I saw her on Instagram.
Host: Have you ever travelled to Southeast Asia?
Bojan: No.
Host: Have you ever explained craft beer to a woman?
Bojan: Let's say yes, I think, but...
Host: Yes, but she was genuinely interested.
Bojan: Let's put down "She was genuinely interested", yes.
Host: Ok.
Bojan: Because I don't really know what craft beer is myself. But I mean... I think one of them asked me once why I was drinking it, because she found it very disgusting.
Host: Have you ever based an outfit on one of Kanye West's outfits?
Bojan: Oh, no, unfortunately.
Host: Do you own a hoodie that costs more than some people's rent?
Bojan: No. If you add up all the hoodies, they don't cost like a tenth of the rent.
Host: Have you ever ghosted someone?
Bojan: This means...
Host: That you suddenly stopped replying to them. The girls. Did you have a legitimate reason or did your phone die?
Bojan: Sure... yeah I did, but not like that, ghosting is probably for a very long time, no? To disappear completely?
Host: I don't know.
Bojan: Or just that, I don't know. To disappear completely?
Host: You disappear completely.
Bojan: No, this not.
Host: No.
Bojan: Just for a day or so, I took a creative break.
Host: Oh, good. It's not ghosting. Have you ever gone to a party with one girl and left with another?
Bojan: No. I go practically alone to parties almost always.
Host: And then home.
Bojan: Yes.
Host: Have you ever hit on a girlfriend's... one of your girlfriend's friends?
Bojan: No. Maybe after, when she was already... Not when we were together.
Host: Ok. What about one of your close friend's exes?
Bojan: That... no, homeboys, no, no, a homeboy is a true friend, I'd never do that in my life.
Host: Did you ever say you didn't have an STD and you did?
Bojan: God, no.
Host: And... You are probably a decent human being. Here's the proof. Live. Now no one can accuse you of being one... if anyone says anything to you.
Bojan: It's official! I'm not a fuckboy.
Host: Alright, that's it. Now, to finish, we have a couple of other unpopular opinions which I have chosen, and you will comment whether you agree or disagree, if you find it very stupid, or if there is any truth in it. First: people drink gin because it is fashionable.
Bojan: I think some people do enjoy gin. [But] I think it's disgusting, honestly. But I think some people find gin good.
Host: Ok, I agree too, because I find it good myself.
Bojan: Aha, ok.
Host: Star Wars is not really good.
Bojan: I'm not the right one to answer that, because I actually never watched it. I watched the old one a hundred years ago, they were pretty good.
Host: For those times. I mean, I'm not really interested, but maybe I'm...
Bojan: I've honestly never been drawn to Star Wars at all.
Host: Yes, I can understand why someone would think that. Pineapple on pizza?
Bojan: I haven't tried. But it looks and sounds disgusting to me.
Host: I've tried it, but it's not so bad. Although it's true that I ate it in America, where everything else was so bad that it wasn't so disgusting in comparison.
Bojan: Okay, fair. I think, if so many people eat it, it probably doesn't.
Host: Yes. Give it a try.
Bojan: I mean, there must be something to it.
Host: It's a bit sweet. Like in a Chinese restaurant, that sweet and sour...
Bojan: Yeah, I'm not exactly very... yeah, I don't think it would be good for me, but look, maybe, I mean, I'll give it a try sometime. I'll tell you.
Host: Please do. Here. Tinder themed. LinkedIn is a better choice for dating than Tinder.
Bojan: LinkedIn? Isn't that for business?
Host: Yes. Here someone thinks it's a better way to do things.
Bojan: I have no idea. No, I don't think so.
Host: Maybe you can find someone in your...
Bojan: Business. Yes, maybe.
Host: And the Foo Fighters are better than Nirvana.
Bojan: Never in life. They are sick, but not...
Host: They are not better.
Bojan: No.
Host: Ok. Do you have any more shoutouts to say?
Bojan: Shoutout?
Host: What would you like to highlight at the end of the podcast?
Bojan: Well, let people be aware. Maybe now really isn't the time to be very flirtatious and go into close spaces with strangers. Nothing, be healthy, love each other, and be flirtatious but with a mask, and listen to Joker Out.
Host: Smile with your eyes.
Bojan: Yes. Smile with your eyes.
Host: Bye.
Bojan: Bye bye.

THE WAY I AGREE W YOU !!! also i think you previously mentioned something about leon desiring a softer, thicker partner and !!! imagining leon seeing a woman (bc im a woman and self indulgent) and seeing her hips and thinking about how she has child-bearing hips and he’s soooo down bad. especially older! leon !! bc at that point in his life he’s ready to settle down with someone.
also also also i was gonna say that he like clvlv requires a family too but then i got scared bc of conflicting opinions but im so glad that you feel that way too. i imagine that since leon lost his parents and has lost so so much in his life, he wants to give the world to his kids. he’d be such a good dad. girl dad leon brainrot rnnnnnn
and also !! vkvkv i love your take on leon sooooo much.
YEAH YEAH I think he would just…him loving physical touch and he would just see the indentation of his fingers/his hold on his partner and just. Yeah.
18+ due to discussions of sexual activities!
Tumblr media
Me being a they/them with child bearing hips !,?,!/(/$.? Like hiiii Leon (I know he’s got a breeding kink like I just KNOW it)
He wouldn’t be able to even stop those thoughts either, he’d see someone he finds attractive and the thought would just be like oh. Fuck. !,?!/(/$/(!.$:) the thoughts would definitely ramp up as he got older as his need for a family grew!
I know many would say he wouldn’t want to bring a kid into the world knowing what he knows, but he also knows he would protect his family with every fiber of his being and he knows he could do if after all he’s been through, all he’s survived.
He would be a terrific parent and I can see him like. Teaching his daughter how to protect herself when he isn’t around, teaching her fighting techniques and probably even getting her a gun for her 18th birthday or something 😭 once again he knows how fucked up the world is and he won’t always be around, but he also knows that her being a woman also puts her in danger and he’ll be damned if anyone crosses his child!!!
Anyways. Yep. So much brainrot like, I gotta write a story out about him settling down and raising a family and and. &:(,!.(/)/)!:
But okay I love your takes too!!! Like we’re definitely on the same wavelength 😌🤝😌 fjgsjssfshsg I’ve loved your asks and discussing this with you :) if you ever wanna DM just send a message!! Or honestly if you got any requests for any stories I’d love to hear them too!!

I really didn’t want to have to do this, as the last thing I want to do is get into any kind of drama in the wrestling fandom on Tumblr. But it seems as though there’s a certain narrative going round regarding me and other writers on this app.
No idea where to start with this to be honest, but I want to make it abundantly clear that I am not the anon that’s been sending transphobic/insulting asks to anybody in the fandom. I don’t even know the person who’s been receiving these asks.
I didn’t even know there was shit going on until I suddenly became suspect number 1 last night.
mysticreigns2. acknowledge-reigns.
I have nothing to do with any of the hate that’s being thrown anyone’s way.
These people digging into all my other socials, screenshotting things, crossing boundaries etc is not something I had on my bingo card for 2024, but here we are.
With that being said, I’m going to have to address posts that people are now seeing I’ve made.
It’s unfortunate that these people have taken my posts about transgenderism and used it as evidence of me sending anon hate. And I hate that I have to explain myself and my opinions for this stupid situation.
Yes, I made a post about a popular/highly discussed situation. And yes, I shared a meme that indirectly rejects GAC for children. And I have my own reasons for believing these two things, but I don’t go out of my way to terrorise anyone over it.
Those two opinions are not indicative of me sending hate to people online. I don’t think someone is a bad person based on their identity, I don’t care what someone chooses to do with their own lives, as long as they’re not harming anyone else. I’m not anti-trans, anti this or that, because I don’t care enough to put that energy into it.
Regarding my supposed “racism”… I made a post a while back talking about how people—people, not poc exclusive—on certain areas of the internet instantly judge the quality of one’s writing based on the colour of their skin. The post was not even extreme, and one read of it will show a whole different picture to the one that’s being painted.
And the post about “gay tumblr” was a fucking inside joke and a reference to something going on at the time in an entirely different fandom that has nothing to do with you, so idk what to tell you there.
I’m not racist. I’m not transphobic. I’m not homophobic (literally gay as fuck). I have never sent hate to ANYONE on Tumblr in all the years I’ve been on here. And I absolutely am a safe person to talk to.
Anyone who’s actually had a conversation with me knows that.
Usually I would let things like this lie and move on, but I’m not about to be accused of something quite serious that I didn’t do. Last night was the first I even heard of someone receiving hate via anon asks. I didn’t know any of this shit was going on and now suddenly I’m the one that’s been doing it all?
Very confused at the situation. Nothing I can do to prove it wasn’t me. And if there is anything I can do to prove it wasn’t me, I’ll fucking do it. Because this fandom is one of the only things I have right now that gives me a sense of being apart of something, and I don’t for a second want people to start thinking I had anything to do with this.
Anyway… I don’t know what else to say. And if anyone wants to talk to me about all this, my DMs are always open.
Love you all 💕

I don’t know if anyone has said this yet, so I will. Yes, this is about nolofinwe week.
I’m also not stoked about this whole AI thing, trust me, I ain’t paying money to have bots produce jumbled nonsense. Not now at least. In the future, if things get regulated and there’s some responsibility from companies, I might, I see how it could be useful. I’ve been in the art industry and organizations for longer than some of you are alive, so I get the concern. 
Which is why I was following this discussion on AI and the event closely. I thought it was very sensible from the mods to ask for honesty from the start (if you use AI, that’s on you, but state it so people can block it and ignore you). AI art in this fandom luckily gets little traction, people don’t engage with it, so that is message enough in my eyes. I’ve also worked in schools for years and can tell you that when you tell people NOT to do something, they fixate on doing the exact opposite. So I was like, ok, the mods here are asking for honesty and they trust people not to be dumb, that’s a way better message. No one is telling anyone else what to do or not to do.
Then people started criticizing, and I was actually positively surprised that the mods were willing to take in the feedback and revise things a bit. It’s so rare to see people on the internet these days listening, let alone doing something about it. But that wasn’t enough for y'all. You kept bitching against the event and shutting down the few people who actually took the time to read.
You wanna ban unfair use of AI? Cuz trust, it's here to stay.
Write to your representative, boycott for-profit companies until they take responsibility, support the companies who do it well, vote, donate to civil society organizations if you can, call for educating students, educate yourself.
Don’t scream on the internet at the few people who actually give a damn. I hope the lot of you are proud of yourselves now. Yes, that’s sarcasm.
First of all, I just came home from a Halloween feast so I´m pretty tired and I´ll try to cut it short, also I think I´m very clear about not being from America.
SO! I have been pointing out the problems only this year when others spoke out and they didn't really do anything about it, ONLY THEN, and publicly, about two to three times? I can´t remember. But that was on my main so why are you not sending this to my main as I haven't said anything here?
I have never told people not to take part in it, actually, I was hoping to take part in it next year, so I greatly hope they open it next year. The reason why I wouldn´t this year, was 1. because I don´t have anything for it, 2. they still had it permitted in the start, but now that it is banned I don´t see why I won't want to participate.
Nolofinweweek DMed me, opening a discussion and I tried to explain why some people were angry about them permitting AI, we had some back and forth about the topic, sharing our own sides, them why they had it permitted, and me why I thought it was problematic, and that was pretty much it. - I want to point out that none of us are English native speakers, and I actually learned how to use a word from our talk :)
Are the MOD sharing our DMs? I am willing to share them if that is what you want. This ask just makes it sound like it´s been shared, and I really have nothing to hide so I don´t see why not. Anyway, ask if you want to see them, and I will reach out to them and ask if it´s okay for them to share as it´s their message too.
PS: I think you should take your own advice to heart, and educate yourself more on the harm of AI if that is your hold on it
I would like you to point out where I have “screamed” at the event when it was all in order as that was never my intention, i fully admit that I have been open about my opinion about allowing ai but I have never told anyone to not participate?? And I felt like I had a good talk with the mod, but that might just have been how I felt it, after all it was over text so some communication might have been lost.
Yes ai is here to stay but not the gen that's built on theft, that is not here to stay, there's already discussions of laws against it in some places, ngl you sound kinda hopeless and I hope you get some back soon :(

𝐍𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐀 / 𝐍𝐄𝐁 ✨ 21+ ✨ they/she ✨ aroace ✨ shameless canon/oc shipper ✨ world's first alloyshipping (amarys/drayton) fan [proship & antis are NOT welcome here. do not interact. that entire discourse is very stupid.]
Tumblr media
FIND ME AT: Quotev, Ao3.
(I'm always accepting asks! Feel free to send me whatever, just nothing weirdly personal or invasive.)
This blog will be Drayton focused because he's a funny and real interesting character. I ship him with my female OC Alysa because...I can. In terms of pairings between canons, I do have a strong liking towards Drayton/Amarys (what I call Alloyshipping) for Reasons that you're welcome to ask about. I'll eventually make a cohesive post and link it here.
I looove analyzing stories and characters. I can be opinionated. I do like cracking jokes as well. I'm funny I ain't funny.
⚠️I never mean any personal offense with my takes!⚠️
I'm a big fan of the BBA Elite Four cast in general, because they're all neat. Predominantly SFW; there will be no NSFW content here aside from innuendos, teen humor jokes, and the like. Drayton could easily be 18 ngl, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Plus, I'm honestly not that into writing sexual content anyway.
I don't have a DNI, I'll just block you if I don't like your vibes. I'm down to follow mostly anyone really, but if you don't tag your posts, I'm way more likely to unfollow if you post/reblog something that I don't want on my dash. If you want me to see something, feel free to @ me (limited to ppl I'm following to discourage harassment & spam)!
🔞 HEADS UP: As I'm 21+, I will NOT be buddy-buddy with any minors. I will never DM someone I know is a minor one-on-one & I do not accept minors DMing me. If we're gonna chat, it's gonna be out in the open or with other people around (e.g. in an open gc or server). If I catch you *lying* about your age and trying to discuss NSFW matters with me, you're gonna get blocked. I don't play with that!

Hiii so I have little question
I love the angst you write, and I've been craving sum angsty (hurt/ comfort) moments with Frank, but I want to know what type of angst or how far we can go when requesting angst???
I just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable or anything
Ok, love you, bye!
hii my love, thank you so much for this question! personally, im pretty much good with any amount of angst, i haven't really thought about it properly as im still SO new to this but its important to discuss nevertheless. i would never write something i felt uncomfortable doing, whether i think its inappropriate or i feel im not the right person to discuss the hypothetical theme, if that makes sense.
i think before i can answer this question properly, the more i learn about angst writing and when i get my proper footing in the genre, anyone can send me anything. if i'm uncomfortable writing it, i will make a post either saying "hey i'm sorry im not comfortable writing about this" or write something similar? and if you requested not anonymously i would probably shoot you a dm anyway instead of making a post.
so in conclusion, idk yet. the more i write, the more boundaries i will set. but feel free to shoot anything my way and we will go from there!
thank you again for asking this question, it means a lot honestly!
my asks are open, im excited to see what you suggest :3

hello friends!!
can you believe, in my almost four years of having lloyd at isola, that i've never made a permanent plotter for him before? well today, that's about to change! while he's made so many wonderful relationships during his time in the group, there's always room for more interactions, and i think it would be really fun to plot some out!
so if you're interested, keep reading!
if you like this post, that will let me know that you're okay with me sending you a DM about which specific relationship you'd like to plot. please just keep in mind that i may not reach out right away, as i have real life obligations (as does everyone!), but i absolutely will when i have time! i'm also going to keep the descriptions below a little bare, to give us room to discuss more in-depth when we chat one on one!
friends
one type of relationship lloyd treasures the most would be the bond he shares with his friends. he feels so incredibly lucky to know those he travelled with back at home, and while he always keeps them in his heart, there's always room to bring in more! lloyd is extremely good at breaking down other people's walls (with mun permission, of course) if they aren't very sociable, or if they have a lot of pain in their life. his hard-headedness is quite endearing, and he makes it his goal to make sure people know how much they truly matter in the world. he's also a total lovable goofball, who enjoys slacking off and having a good time! he makes a great friend, and is happy to be that towards anyone who might need one.
customers
lloyd loves his job as a blacksmith, and is always eager to take on new jobs! at this point in his life on the island, he's gotten a lot of experience, and enjoys the challenge of coming up with original ideas. maybe for weapons he's never even made before! if you'd like more information around the scope of his abilities, check out the fire and iron page here! if you need something done, he's your guy!
sparring partners / weapon enthusiasts
it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that while lloyd enjoys making weapons, he also loves seeing how they handle action! there's an entire training ground set up near his forge, and you can find lloyd there pretty regularly. if your character has a burning desire for combat, or just wants to practice their skills, lloyd is always happy to join in!
found family
this category is equally important to him as his friendships. lloyd was an orphan, and was raised by his adoptive father, so he's never been one to think that only those related to you by blood are your family. he's opened his arms up to many characters that he considers siblings at this point, but again, there is always room in his heart for more. if lloyd comes to care for you, he'll protect you with his life, and always go out of his way to make sure you're okay.
enemies
while still a happy-go-lucky guy, there are times where lloyd can get serious-- and that would mostly be when those he cares about are threatened in anyway. that's a sure-fire way to get you on his bad side. he also doesn't like people who are cruel just for the sake of it, who go out of their way to make people feel like they're lower than dirt, just because they were born. he will very openly fight for his own ideals in the face of discrimination, and may even resort to violence if the time comes for it. also, if you ask for his name before giving yours, that'll really make him mad <3
that's it for now! thanks for reading!

hey recently my friend had sent me a cute taekook edit, she thought I’d like it bc she knows I like BTS yk yadayadaya. anyway in the tiktok it seems like they’re playing a game in run bts and writing things on whiteboards. tae asks “did you come here alone” and apparently jungkook replies “im single” and i do think that that’s a weird reply to the question ‘did u come here alone’. but i was just wondering if it’s real and what’s the context. i had asked another person w a tumblr account but it seems they never got to reply to it and that’s okay. im just really curious because ive never seen this one.
Hi Lovely,
💜I really hope u don’t take this the negatively💜
My blog is for my enjoyment and anyone who enjoys what I do. My blog is public for any and all to see and that comes with pros and cons. Sadly even without sharing anything but BTS, Jimin & Jungkook, jikook love, richonne (twd), lgbtqia+ and other random things of my interest… I still get a lot of nasty unhinged messages.
I like to focus on the members and jikook in particular for their unique bond. I don’t mind delving into other duos, trios etc but from a place of positivity about their friendships.
If it was to discuss Tae & Jungkook’s friendship from any point over the years in a positive manner I’d have no issue.
Sadly I don’t feel comfortable answering anything in relation to tkk romantic theories by taekookers etc.
I’m not interested in taekookers and they don’t need to be interested in me. I don’t have the kind of content they need and don’t want to provide them with the kinda content they expect from jikookers.
I didn’t want you to think you were being ignored or feel like you can’t ever ask me anything.
BUT
I want nothing to do with tkk romantic theories, nor the subsection that create them, just not my interest.
Please don’t be discouraged from talking to me in the DMs or sending me any future asks though!
💜

I’m so glad you know my heart and soul only sing for you, my love. You truly have nothing to worry about… besides the fact that I’m not going to go easy on you now that you’ve responded so deliciously to my teasing. Perhaps I’ll slip you a scandalous note over breakfast, sit on your lap, or even sneak some heated kisses throughout the day, only to pull away when you begin to respond. I’m relatively small and fast, so even if you chased after me I’m sure I could try to slip away. You seem like you'd enjoy the thrill of hunting after me anyways.
For the collection sets, I was mostly looking at the Navy collection, as it matches your dark blue and rose gold preferences. However, I completely agree with your desire to expand our horizons. That being the case, I also love the aesthetics of the French Raw Silk, Rose Gold Classics, Sage Green and/or Scarlet Princess collections. What do you think of those?
Hearing about pet play from you is very interesting. As I've mentioned before, our pasts are tragically similar in some ways. I've had to be fully responsible and completely in control of myself from a very young age. So, for me, submission is a very pleasurable but highly conditional thing; I could act as a dominant figure for anyone, but I'm only able to submit to someone I fully trust and respect. The list of people that meet the criteria is not long, but you happen to be on it.
I agree that the cage and the bowl would be a bit much, but I’d be lying if I said your interest and description of this kink didn't intrigue me. I'm happy to explore it more with you and I’d certainly wear the accessories, even if it was just to dress up for you. Funnily enough, my friends have described me as a rather cat-like person, so that would be a rather fitting choice. I can be very aloof and analytical around strangers or enemies, but I’m warm, cuddly, and curious around those close to me. However, even if it isn’t tied to pet play, I definitely do have a breeding kink….
Master is a wonderful choice, and I do love the description of the fantasy. It’s not silly at all; it’s actually almost exactly what I had pictured. The other that I had in mind fits more closely with a classic scene from literature, except, of course, you’d have my full consent beforehand.
On a moonlight night, the vampire creeps through the window to sink his fangs into the tender neck of the maiden who has caught his eye, rousing her from the depths of slumber into his wicked embrace….
If it piques your interest, I can always describe it more in depth. How does that sound, my soul?
- L
(Before I shove my foot directly into my mouth, for “things I’d like to include” are you asking which kinks I plan to touch on? Or just general plot things? Either way, I can absolutely let you know. I’m genuinely enjoying the rp, thank you 🌙admin! 💜)
(Questions to recipient from admin)
Before I continue the in-character response there is something I want to discuss.
I realize there’s probably reasons you’d like to remain anonymous, I respect that. However, if the contents of the exchange go deeper into the NSFW topic, I begin to have a concern about age. Mainly that because it has been anonymous, I can’t verify anything. Seeing an age in someone’s bio/pinned post is the most I can do to verify age. I don’t want you to reveal yourself in a public way, especially if that’s not something you’re comfortable with. It’s also not something important to anyone else except to me as admin, so I am requesting a private DM in order to see your bio/pinned post. It would honestly stop my overthinking and give me peace of mind.
I’m sure you saw, I’m currently working on a detailed “NSFW rules” specific post. Until I finish that I’ll have to address things individually but this is the way I’m going to approach NSFW content with anons moving forward if they desire content further than suggestive/flirty. I hope you can understand my perspective and that this doesn’t discourage you from sending anything else.
Thank you 🌙💙
PS: To answer your questions, both things actually. A list of kinks would be great! And then I’d appreciate it if you could give me an overview on how detailed you’d like the NSFW rp to go. On a spectrum, I guess the lightest would be just discussing kink interest and sharing ideas, on the other end however it’s a more detailed exchange on the sexual encounters between the parties involved. If it’s easier, you can just respond to this in DM as well.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU.
respond to the following prompts out of character. then, tag others that you'd like to get to know a little bit better!
tagged by: @altosk tagging: @mistralxsoul, @ourvoids, @ervaurem if you haven't done this, @pclitesse if you do these!
ROLEPLAYER NAME: Shi (ShiShi is fine but I tend to go with Shi. if you're thinking Shinon from a ninth and tenth entry in a particular franchise, your brain is in the right place. namesakes and beloveds, friends)
ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS: she/her
MUSE NAME: Yuri Lowell (and assorted others on my Tales multimuse)
PREFERRED COMMUNICATION: depends how often we talk. Tumblr DMs is easiest if we have brief conversation/plotting. Discord is preferred if we're starting to have regular conversations/lengthy conversations. I'm open to talking to people more though if they're interested, so if you do want to talk or gush about our muses or games, feel free to ask for my Discord! we don't have to already be talking a whole lot if you do want to move to Discord.
EXPERIENCE: I've been RPing for like, idk, as long as I can remember, but I started on Tumblr specifically around 2012. Before that it was things like ye wee old forums, messengers, etc. Tales experience is the same thing because I used to RP Tales on forums LOL.
PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE: a mix of everything more or less. I like fluff and happy things mixed into angst, and if there's no room for happiness in a specific thread/situation, I like to have gentle/soft/emotional aspects littered around. I also try to just follow my muse's whims, so if anything suddenly spikes his rage meter, that's what we're goin' with folks.
PET PEEVES & DEALBREAKERS:
(this isn't as scary as it looks I'm sorry LOL)
ignoring my rules and asking to ship with me when your character's name is not in my ship list (yes, this includes OCs. if OCs aren't mentioned it's very likely because my muse has a very specific romantic inclination and chemistry won't trump that the muse is already leaning toward someone/other people by default. should be obvious but I literally recently on another blog had someone completely ignore that muse's ship list and still send me an anon to ask to ship with me (and the whole thing was indicative that they only wanted to write with me to ship and didn't really see my muse as their own muse but just as another tool in the shed). my ship list tends to be very tiny for any muse and I prefer it that way anyway because it wards off the idea that people are only writing with me to ship. I love shipping with certain pairs, but I don't write explicitly for that and am much more comfortable with the idea that people aren't following me to ship with me/going into things assuming they will be able to convince me into it when they would have presumably read my rules and know their character is not on that list. again, as in my rules, one-sided your-muse-likes-mine is totally fine - just don't get mad when it remains one-sided because you were warned. if your muse is on the list (for any of my muses), yes, it means I'm open to discussing it/writing it./being receptive of it.
disrespecting other writers plain for everyone to see on their dashboards. this includes saying vague shit like "there are no good (character name) muses out there". that is very much not the same as "there are no writers for this character/I can't find any of this character". that's a very intentional dig at certain character writers and implies they're not good enough for you because nobody writes that character the way you want them to (versus simply expressing a desire to write with a certain character but not finding anyone who writes them).
using my muse as a blank slate who is just a base directly off the game you probably played if you're here. if any of you have paid attention to my threads with a specific Flynn (hi Natty!), you are probably aware my muse is heavily influenced by canon side material. that stuff is a core part of my muse. my muse is not just a rip taken right out of game-only canon. the more I write, the more formed he becomes as his own individual muse. if you cannot respect that and will consider it "ooc" for my muse not to be a blank slate direct rip from canon every time I write with a new muse, that's a hard dealbreaker. (on that above note, for any Flynn writers who are unfamiliar with the canon side material that Flynn is a primary part of (i.e. very directly relative to things that affect my muse), I do not hold that against you and am completely willing to work things out with you! that shit is hard to find and is JP media only. there's a slew of side content for Vesperia that the west never got so I know many if not most people won't even know a lot of it exists)
PLOTS OR MEMES: I do both, but I'm more likely to be able to work out plots with characters either in my muse's canon(s) or muses from other Tales games ("canons" is things such as canon side material, Tales gachas Yuri is in, etc). if I don't know your character well (canon or OC), memes tend to work better. I find it difficult to plot specific things out when I don't know a particular series well or at all. that said, I'll write with people who know my character and are okay with using one of his verses even if I don't know your character/series. I love memes for writing, but I will definitely struggle to actually plot if I don't know the franchise. I also love randomly sent memes just for the sake of writing things!
LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES: long. short for me is like three paragraphs and I just physically can't find myself doing less. things like one-liners might pop up in dash commentary and such, but for actual threads, I write long replies because that's what comes to me. sometimes motivation really hits me with muses my muse feels close to and you might end up with a ten+ paragraph reply, so uhhh... sorry about that in advance (and my paragraphs can get bulky so doubly sorry in advance!). typically this stuff happens in more emotion-driven threads though.
BEST TIME TO WRITE: NIGHT! NIGHT! NIGHT! I'm a night owl in general, but my writing energy tends to go yeehaw on me at night.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: uhhhh uh uh for legal reasons i probably should not answer that. :)

No offense but how could you support a show when a creator has been abusive to their employees? Isn't that bad?
under a read more bc jc anon
fascinated that you think this an appropriate question for you, a stranger, to ask me, also a stranger, regardless of anything, but especially when you have no understanding of my own (or any other stranger's) history with emotional abuse
which hello, hi! i am have been emotionally abused twice. it was fucked up. both times majorly sucked ass. thank you for randomly dropping an ask about an upsetting topic in my inbox with no warning. you're clearly very good with boundaries & considering people's feelings & all potential angles :))
no, i'm not particularly concerned over the lives of people i don't know personally over a situation that was resolved more than 4 years ago. i haven't been very concerned about it since the head writer of the show, who is also a queer woman (and was publicly 'outed' as one of the women apparently abused by someone who had left the company months prior - which, don't think i have to say you don't out anyone's experiences with emotional abuse without their permission, even if they talk about it later, good god) confirmed that things have improved. more details here if you're interested
bc the fallout, company got HR. literally cannot do that without the creator's go ahead. that's all the accountability i need. it's not my responsiblity to make someone i do not know better, not even the two people who spoke out ever asked for a boycott, and unlike some other fans i've also never lived in cognitive dissonance land of thinking someone is never improving/stuck as an awful person forever while also wanting the show to continue cause that's fucking Weird bro
i don't care about your moral judgements, ngl. idk what your history is and i'm not going to assume because we're Strangers, and if you're too uncomfortable with it that's your prerogative, but i'd take a queer friendly fantasy show that i enjoy with my friends any day over denying myself happiness just because someone was a dick for a time (and abusers are still People anyway, but that's a discussion for another day).
i'm not interested in the moral purity of interrogating everything i love. i'm not interested in purity culture or punishment > rehabilitation at all, actually. which is why if you wanna come off DMs and have a conversation, or send a follow up ask that's more on kilter, i'd be perfectly happy to engage. but to be frank:
no offense, but i don't really know why or how you thought this was your place. please think a little bit more thoughtfully before you choose to come into my inbox again

I take time to post asks reacting to something discussed here, sometimes even researching some things and they never get posted. It seems like you only post a few asks that agree with your opinion.
I think it is more that we only come in and post or push a few through, and then go, a lot of times. For me, I don’t care at all about disagreeing because I’m usually posting speculation anyway. But I do generally skip ones that make assertions as if they know for sure, when we don’t know for sure. And I also skip really mean ones about anyone. Believe it or not I have skipped some really mean ones about GR. The reason is because I don’t want to start a firestorm and then duck out. The times I do post those types of asks are when I know I have some time to answer a bunch after.
All that said, let me know what your asks were about. If I see them, I’ll post them.
And if you ever spend a lot of time, or having certain ask published is important to you, which I totally get, dm us. Or send another quick ask reminding us.
- B
