eating disorder harm reduction
no one ever compiled this so that it what we are doing today. for people with eds and people whose loved ones do. please note: i’m not a doctor. this is a compilation of things from books and ed resource sites.
for people whose loved ones have an eating disorder:
try to make sure they know these things.
try not to force them to eat, they might feel uncomfortable eating in front of people. also, risk of refeeding syndrome.
if their life is in danger and you are seeking help for them, consult the person beforehand to make sure they will be safe and give them a heads-up so that they aren’t startled (especially if they’re neurodivergent! giving them notice will aid control!)
offer them ways of controlling things aside from food - practice consent, include them in conversations, don’t talk about them behind their back, compliment their makeup or hair.
be patient. the person may be irritable from lack of sleep, feelings of depression, worthlessness, etc., or malnutrition.
keep in mind that you can’t tell if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them. people of all weights do - only 17% of anorexics are underweight - and also, men and non binary people can also have eds.
general:
drink lots of water, especially if you’re drinking lots of caffeine.
drink some electrolytes at least once a week - gatorade, electrolyte tablets, coconut water, doesn’t matter, just get it into your system.
if you are getting dizzy or flushed and can feel your heart beating, quick carbs will raise your blood sugar - sweets, bread, fruit, juice, non diet soda, whatever. keep snacks around pls.
your brain uses 400-500 calories daily. eat more than this.
take your supplements!
you still need protein, have an egg or something.
don’t take adderal or insulin unless you are actually diabetic or neurodivergent, because you are raising the price by buying them and denying access to those who need it.
throw a towel over the mirror. it’s not worth it if it’ll cause you anxiety.
try to limit disordered behaviours like body checking, purging, and weigh ins.
practice good dental hygiene.
put your scale somewhere where you have to actively look for it to weigh yourself.
avoid social media and for your sake don’t go on pro ed tiktok or tumblr or twitter or insta.
get a buddy who also struggles with the same thing if possible to support each other.
get regular medical check ups (if you can afford it)
practice things within your control - makeup, hair, clothing, etc.
push your rules - eat 5 minutes before your time, or 50 calories over your limit.
for people with restrictive disorders (e.g. anorexia):
do weight and resistance training at least twice a week to prevent musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoporosis.
don’t drink on an empty stomach.
try to put gaps between fasting periods.
don’t fast for more than 72 hours.
wear lots of layers to keep warm.
eat an extra 100-200 calories on your period if you menstruate.
have a metabolism day.
take care of your hair.
as horrifying as this is to many people, please go to the hospital if you’re experiencing heart problems or if you’re passing out for more than 30 seconds.
for people with purging disorders (e.g. bulimia):
if you would like to purge, wait 15 minutes first.
after purging: drink lots of water - the emptiness you feel is dehydration. don’t brush your teeth but rinse your mouth out, preferably with an alkaline mouthwash or baking soda mixed into water. do something you want to do, like reading a book or watching a show. don’t smoke. don’t have anything acidic. eat a banana or some chocolate or a rice cake to keep your blood sugar levels in check.
if you vomit blood or your vomit looks like coffee grounds, this is a sign of internal bleeding. you could be drowning in your own blood from a hole in your esophagus, essentially. go to the hospital or call 911/999/the emergency number in your area.
stay safe everyone. i hope this helps. also, i do not use these tags - i have them blocked - but i am using them so that people on these tags will find this because they need it most.

do you have any favorite books/articles/etc. on asexuality and/or aromanticism?
this is great timing, anon! @stephen-deadalus and i just recently published an article/webtext rellated to ace/aro rhetorics in a neuroqueer/transMad context. below is a link to that + another piece of mine, and some other works you should check out
First and foremost: check out Carnival of Aces and Carnival of Aros. The former was one of my main sources of info back in the day when I ID'd as ace (starting in 2012ish) and they're still going. Carnival of Aros is more recent, and their posts have been really interesting to read so far.
for articles:
[sarah] Cavar, In praise of -less: transMad shouts from absent (pl)aces (hiiiiiii)
[sarah] Cavar & ulysses c. bougie, port-man-toes: the aroace - queercrip - transmad - neuroqueer erotics of digital collaboration (hiiiiii pt. deux) [also see our references in this piece for more cites]
C. Bougie, Composing Aromanticism
Carter Vance, Unwilling Consumers: A Historical Materialist Conception of Compulsory Sexuality (h/t @queertemporality)
M. Remi Yergeau, Cassandra Isn't Doing the Robot: On Risky Rhetorics and Contagious Autism (a chapter in Yergeau's first monograph, Authoring Autism, also attends to the prefix 'demi' in compelling ways, esp. for those interested in neuroqueerness)
for books:
Twoey Gray, Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. See my review in Feral Feminisms here, and the whole Ace & Aro Reviews Issue here.
Milks & Ceranowski, eds. Asexualities: Feminist and Queer Perspectives (the og one is out, but the 10th anniversary ed. is forthcoming this year....with a chapter by Ulysses and I again!)
Ela Przybylo, Asexual Erotics: Intimate Readings of Compulsory Sexuality
I haven't read the Ace anthology yet, so I rec with grains of salt included. But reviewers I respect have commented favorably on it, so I'm putting it here.
This list is pretty short, mostly because I wanted to keep the citations to those actually accessible for free online (apart from books). It is also because the most radical, interesting, and generative discourse happening on ace/aro subjectivity and community, at this time, is happening on Tumblr and other blogs. Genuinely. I recommend searching the ace/aro/loveless/lovequeer tags to get a sense of what is currently happening; these are the spaces where I get a lot of my information and citations, including for the published articles above. hope this helps get you started!

Hello OFMD Tumblr thingie, and all the amazing people who are out there, and especially the ones who've been making all the posts that have made me so happy over the last few months. 💖💖💖 First and most importantly, thank you, thank you, thank you, to anyone who sees this!
This is my first post to Tumblr (probably pretty obvious from my huge lack of Tumblr sophistication! And the length of this post...) If you don't count reblogging things that I wanted to be able to find again. I've braved up to comment thank you to people a couple of times, but that's been it so far. I must admit it all looks a bit scary from this side of the glass, even though I can also see how friendly people mostly are.
But OFMD fandom is big! And you've been here a long time! I loved Series 1 when I watched it, and knew I wanted to watch out for Series 2, but it wasn't until I re-watched it when the Series 2 trailer came out on BBC iPlayer that I fell veeeery in love with it! And by then you were already here, and there was a language and debates about things I'd barely even noticed, and it's mostly me staring with big eyes thinking wow, and sometimes huh? and... well, you know. Plus there's trying to work out Tumblr, which I definitely haven't actually managed to do yet, and possibly never will, so... I decided to just jump in and post summat. Even just rambling, which is a bit of a specialty of mine... I mean - what's the worst that can happen, right? 😬
So... how come now? Well, I can't make art or gorgeous screenshots or gifs. I do write, but I'm still hanging out to get the right voices in my keyboard... I know them when I hear them, but you've gotta get the right rhythm going, and I'm not quite there yet, I don't think. Although really, I should probably just sit down and try (and stop waiting for work to shut up and give me time - I should be a pirate and take it!)
Anyway (told you about the rambling...) what I'm mostly doing apart from rewatching the eps on a constant loop is reading the fic. I'm picking it according to kudos on AO3, and according to recs that I see on Tumblr, and it's occured to me that alot of the stories I'm loving must have been recced looong ago, and that newbies like me totally missed them, and so maybe I could do my own recs, even if they are of older stories, and someone might find them useful. You know, if I work out how anyone else might ever see my posts. 😁 And if people aren't put off by my probably age-revealing use of emojis. (But I am entirely age-appropriate for Ed and Stede, and if I had to look up what zaddy meant too, well, that just means I matched Rhys Darby's expression in the bts, right? 🤨)
So it's not much, but I'd like to contribute even just a tiny bit to OFMD fandom in return for everything it gives me, so... yeah. That's my plan. I'll start in a bit, but this post is probably already too long since it's just rambling. And kind of dull. I should probably have said tl:dr at the top, shouldn't I, but then maybe anyone who actually saw this wouldn't, so... See, I kind of live in hope. 😊
Okay. Tags next, right? ... ack ... why won't it let me create new tags instead of just using ones from the drop down...? Well, those will have to do for now... maybe someone who sees this will have mercy and tell me how? I'll just be over here being a slight failure at Tumblr... And if you've made it this far (how long is an acceptable post over here?! Not this long, I don't think...) - thank you hugely for just that, and may your dreams be OFMD and joyous!

Narcovember Prompt Roulette List
Saalud a mi gente! We in the Narcos Fandom Forever discord server are excited to bring another 30-day challenge: a multifandom event that we’re nevertheless calling Narcovember. Despite its name, this is open to ALL FANDOMS, NOT JUST NARCOS. Creators are encouraged to submit fanworks (fic, art, gifs, vids, op-eds) for any fandom your heart desires!
This event's format is a bit unconventional. Instead of a prompt for each day of the month, there's a Prompt Roulette Wheel and a Prompt Index (☟ below) featuring numbered items with three prompts each. Every day you'll spin the wheel. The number that comes up on the spin corresponds to a number on the index where you can then pick one of the three prompts.
So for example, say on day one, I spin the wheel and get number 8. I’d go to 8 on the index (titled These Damn Restraints). Of those three prompts, I like Yikes best so that's my day one prompt. Next day, I spin and get 14. I find 14 on the index (Decisions, Decisions, Decisions) and pick one of those for day two's prompt. And so on. Note: If, on Day 2, instead of 14 I got 8 again, I’d spin the wheel again to get a new number. If, for whatever reason, you don’t want to spin twice, you can choose another prompt from that "Book of" that you haven't used (e.g. Day 1, I chose Yikes. So Day 2, I’d go for, "Now you know why I never say anything.") Ideally, we think it’s more fun to not repeat index items, but ultimately it’s dealer’s choice. Aka we're not about to get real fascist policing, aint nobody got time for that.
Here's -> the roulette wheel. Or you can make your own! (Just make sure it has 30 slices.)
Use the hashtag #narcovember or tag us to submit your entries so we can reblog them! A note on the masterlist - bc of the Tumblr-imposed link limit, for now we'll only link the fic. BUT at the end of the month, there will be a comprehensive list with all the contributors’ blogs so ppl can find your other work easily.
Happy spinning, everybody!

Someone has gone ahead and dm-ed me with a lengthy explanation for the Guapoverse stuff, so here is the explanation from somebody active in the Twitter community.
Hopefully, with this full explanation, we can all stop fighting and being nasty to each other. Is this really the way we want to present ourselves? We're all really cool people, we shouldn't be tearing each other apart over something as silly as tags.
hey, just wanted to let you know the context of the whole guapoverse in twitter and why people are changing the tags and the ! for the cubitos, since I think the criticism from both sides is just basically miscommunication. the vast majority of the cellbit community in twt (and a lot of people from roier's) are not just disappointed or boycotting the qsmp, they just straight up dropped it (like, the most common opinions I saw regarding the future of the qsmp from both of those communities are either watching only cellbit and roier if they logged in to just not watching even them if they decided to do so). There are a lot of reasons as to why but people have lost the hope they had in the server and in quackity, especially after the way he treated the xenophobia and admins situation. people still love the characters and the story they constructed and think everything cellbit and roier put they effort in is bigger than the platform and "world" they created it. the thing with not using the q anymore and changing the tag is because the project, as much as it brought joy to us in the beggining, caused more pain and harm than good in the brazilian community, both for the viewers and admins affected, so we just really don't want to have a reminder staring at us everytime we want to talk or write about these characters we care so much for. BUT!! I totally agree that the ! system for the cubitos is super confusing, so as a chronically online person in the twt fandom I'll try to explain the system I've seen people using (is not perfect and not as consistent, it's still all very new, but I'll try to explain the patterns I've notice, also it's mostly applied to the guapoduo twt fandom I can't explain the use from other viewers.) people either use g! or just the ! to refer to the qsmp characters, some still use the q! but it's mostly those two. f! from the fuga impossível characters (like f!cell), the c! from chafaland (like c!roier) and other variations from the twt aus (like the great pretender au is gp!cellbit). so it's mostly it I feel like as someone who has not seen the disappointment in real time and seen people coming up with solutions to still enjoy the characters and their story without having to be reminded of the horrible time the community had these last few months, is very valid that you had your reservations to the many changes the fandom had, and I guess it could look like people are just avoiding the server and trying to erase everything related to it but I hope I could give you more context people are still posting under the q!, people are still posting stuff in the qsmp tag, they aren't going after people that are still using it, it's just to distance themselves from it. the whole thing is mostly a twitter thing, I think not even 30 fanfics changed the tags (last I checked), is just people there are the most affected from the xenophobia and wanted to distance themselves (again, in twitter) of the qsmp and quackity fandom. nobody wanted the whole fandom to adapt, nobody wanted a revolution in guapoduo/spiderbit media consumption, it was just a way to distance themselves on twitter. it was just this.
It's a pretty long explanation, but I think it gets everything across that needs to be said.
Nobody needs to be a dick to each other. We need to understand the Guapoverse Guys, but they also need to understand us. We've got some cultural differences between Tumblr and Twitter, and now there are more differences between Guapoverse and Everyone Else.

So I'm gonna update this often and try to orginise my shit more. Ain't that a bitch?
Well firstly lets start with general info:
This is mostly a sick/sneeze/whump tumblr blog for my ocs.
She/her are my pronouns, but sometimes I don't mind they/them.
I'm currently 29.
I respect furries and furry content. I dabble in it at times but I MUCH prefer humanoids.
I do not reach others out, I am introverted, I don't tend to seek people out. Unless I'm lonely. But don't be afraid to message me, dm me or whatever you want, I enjoy chatting.
Minors DNI. Nuff said rly.
I am asexual. This "fetish" isn't really sexual in nature for me, it is a intrigue more than it is anything else, so please keep this in mind when roleplaying or intereacting with me. NSFW is not something I will do on this blog.
My inbox is open, but I won't always answer every question.
I do commission work.
=============================================
FAQ:
What do you do here? I draw mostly. Just scenarios with my ocs and snz stuff. Just for fun, I also do commission work for those who are capable.
Can I ask anything? Will you respond? Depends. Don't be creepy is a big rule. I also get a lot of inboxes telling just random statements I don't respond to. But I do try to answer questions about my oc's, mostly when I have inspiration to answer them, some questions I honestly don't know how to respond to. So if your inbox does not get answered and you follow those simple rules, the most likely cause is I'm not sure how to answer your question.
Do you do fanart? Only for commission work. Dm me and ask me for a slot
Can I dm you? Sure.
Do you RP? Yes. But only with folk who intrigue me. Sorry I'm very picky with who I rp with.
Where else can I find you? Furaffinity is the only one I'm willing to share here: Furaffinity
What got you into this community? Honestly I joined it only recently. about a few years ago. I decided to embrace this fasination I have and hopefully make people happy with my art. This is essentially the reason why I am here.
------------------------------
Tags:
snz: Snz is the main tag I use for anything sneeze related.
sicktember 2024: Currently in progress. But this tag is for sicktember. I did it for the first time properly in 2024.
notsnz: Anything that isn't to do with sneeze content.
commission: Paid work I did for others. snz animation: Any animations I did. Cuz ye I animate.
Amadi: Oldest oc. Crazy genderfluid person who is violent, cunning, sly and flirty. He tends to go by he/him but they use any pronouns, They're into the kink and are a menace.
Weedle: A mentally distraught man grieving for many deaths and given up on hoping for a better life, Amadi and him used to date although currently they are broken up. Ed: A werewolf man, sweet kind and always looking after the group the best he can while working hard.
Dolan: A tragic demon character who's outgoing spunk gets everyone to laugh.
Svet: A vampire fop who is a spoilt brat in every sense of the word.
Demetrius: A stoic storm giant (Currently my fav) Who adores his husband and a terrifying paladin.
Percy: A cleric angel who loves his hubby and tries his best to heal the sick and injured running himself ragged.
Ornel: A drow elf who is sweet but extremely trouble and haunted by his past despite trying to move on.
Judas: Another angel who is goth aesthetic and tries his best to protect those he loves dearly. Wrathmos: Devil maaaaaaaaaan
Others ocs:
This all is going to be sorted out overtime. Trying to do a lot today. But I will now try to sort it out by oc's.

guys I just was on TikTok for like, a couple hours for the last 3 days and oh my god tumblr is so much better.
mostly because I will say this again and always.
TikTok is tumblr 2.0
The most horrible takes, I actually hate that I used my main hate seethe ow io hate this.
someone save me, oh I hope I don’t get hate on my main.
not because I said anything bad but because TikTok people are a different BREED.
okay example!
Example 1: a video of 3 young teen girls with unblurred faces smashing the remains of a melted ice sculpture.
the comments were filled with hate for these kids like they had punched someone or something, most of them were like “if I saw that I would have beat those kids” and “evil! Can we dox them?”
dude, it was crazy.
Example 2: a video of a horse picture with the text “they ruined the cannibalism metaphor with their shitty poems”
Idk what the context is for that actually lol.
example 3: someone in a mental health matters tagged video saying that you can’t help people who are suffering from Self Harm because it’s on them to do that, also “people who send SH/ED’s pictures are bad people and attention seekers”
that made my jaw fucking drop, like while I’ll always advocate “please don’t send people fresh Self harm photos period” I’m not going to demonise someone that does, because that is beyond a cry for help that’s a scream.
and also everyone was demonising cluster B people, and people who are violent because of mental illness/people who scream and yell say things that hurt people because of mental illness are bad people aswell.
like.. oh my god, it’s different if it’s not purposeful malice and just mental illness shit. Like I know people who are exactly like that, and they are people I love and care for deeply. It’s not their fault they can’t control their emotions because they have can’t control emotions disorder. They regret it deeply and hate themselves for it and want to be better and loved.
that’s truly what most of mentally ill people want, myself included.
and again and again I see people who are like “these people are horrible and don’t deserve help”. Your feelings of being triggered and fucked up by seeing your friend’s self harm is AWFUL! It sucks! But if you love them, you should put yourself first and be kind.
(Literally just going “hey dude, I love you fuck tons but I can’t deal with seeing your self harm. It’s not because I hate you, it’s not because of anything like that. I’m just not as strong as you when it comes to seeing these things, and it makes me uncomfortable. I’m happy to be here and talk about why you feel this way and I’ll be here for you. But I just don’t have the skills to deal with the sight of injury, you are my friend I care about you (REAL NO JOKE)”)
sometimes the people you love will say things that hurt you because they are hurting incredibly badly and just want someone to see that and tell them
“it happens, sometimes (insert mental illness) happens. You’re not a bad person for it happening. so many people are like you and are suffering the same pain, and it happens. You will feel bad until you feel okay, healing takes time. And learning to live with (insert mental illness) is hard, no one ever said it’s easy. It’s hard and it takes a long time, but it gets better <3 because we aren’t perfect! no one is! we hurt and scream and push away those we love and it’s hard to fix that. Sometimes we don’t, but it happens. We will make mistakes and hurt others and ourselves, that’s life. And I’ll be here, because I believe in you even if you are hurting, even if you tell me he most vile shit, I’ll stay. It’s not okay you say that, but your (insert mental illness) it happens and until you feel better I won’t hold it against you. I’ll be hurt, but I won’t hold it against you. Your you, and I think you deserve to live and not hurt anymore. I’ll listen, I will listen.”
mental illness is not a monolith and is so hard and difficult to understand sometimes, we are social creatures and all we want is care and kindness.
YES I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU TOO NPD AND ASPD PEOPLE!
I will never know how to help someone, I will always just flounder until I figure something out. But trying is really all we can ever do.
I love you guys, we are all fucked up we are all so fucked up. And that’s okay, you will be okay.
one of these days it’ll stop, and you will stop feeling bad and feel okay. Some of us will have a hard, hard time figuring out how to do that.
but don’t give up, because I won’t. Even if you couldn’t fulfill your dreams I’ll hold them softly for you, if you suffer let’s suffer together.
if you die, I’ll remember you, if your scared we can be scared together.
It’s going to be okay, because people do care. People actually do care, and your not done yet, just hold on.
you will get there, just hold on. We will make it, we will all make it.
I am still hung up on the first one.

TW: EDs, self harm
This is so unrelated to anything I post here but I’ve seen a LOT of BSD users doing this so I will be tagging it with bungo tags in the hopes you people will see it.
Eating disorder / self harm glorification accounts.
I’m honestly so angry that I’m seriously trying to hold back because I’m not trying to insult you personally. All of you that glorify these mental disorders and have accounts dedicated to longing for anorexic bodies and romanticize cutting. You are all in so much need for mental health help. That should go without saying. And this post isn’t about targeting you, I also can’t take a vested interest in the mental health of strangers on the internet, as I have people in my own life that need attention.
I’m not here to preach, you know your behaviors are beyond harmful and you do it anyway.
My only ask, for the love of whatever god it is you believe in, PLEASE make your accounts private. I would seriously get down on my knees and beg you if I could. The fact anyone can stumble on your accounts, young impressionable people with no idea they’re reading the thoughts of someone in severe need of mental help, saddens me so much. Because it becomes a cycle, you encourage others to think and act like you. You clearly don’t care for your own mental health but why would you want to drag others down with you?
This is another big reason why BSD is for adults, bc of the way it handles mental health issues with a blasé attitude and uses comedy. Idk who needs to hear this, but that is NOT how those issues are meant to be handled irl.
A general reminder, eating disorders have the highest fatality rates out of all mental health disorders, especially for girls and women.
I will be reporting any public account I find that glorifies these disorders and self harm. I’ve already reported three, they are still under investigation. I reported them on Twitter, I haven’t seen any here on tumblr but I will report on any platform I find them in. I encourage you all to do the same.
#bungou stray dogs#bsd#bungo stray dogs#and the fact most of these accounts are run by minors is so awful#please realize you are doing yourself a disservice#you will never get better if you stay in those environments#the first step is wanting to get better#if anyone sees this and cares please share this post so it reaches that community#please post this or things similar to this on other platforms#copy and paste screenshot I don’t care#I really need them to see this#I don’t have a Twitter for personal reasons but that really seems to be where they are#it would be great if someone could share this there 🙏

Since this blog is nsfw, i will post nsfw things (duh) and some of those kinks can potentially be triggering and maybe a bit harder. mainly cnc, somno, masochism and sadism, intox and more. these things will be tagged so feel free to block those tags.
DNI if you’re: an ageless blog, a minor, a transphobe and homophobe, a racist, a bigot in general, a nazi, a terf, a pedo/map, zoo, or you have a blog that posts about ED’s or feeder/chaser things
But other then that, i hope we can have fun in my blog together and ilysm 🫶

20 questions for fic writers
Thank you @totallysilvergirl for tagging me <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
171
2. What’s your total A03 word count?
2,559,305
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I live for the days when anyone asks me this question, because listing things I love is just so great. I don't actively write for all of these any longer, but I would go back to all of them if anyone threw me like, half a prompt.
BBC Sherlock
Good Omens
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
The Terror
Our Flag Means Death
What We Do In The Shadows
The Adventures of Tintin
The Hobbit
BBC and CBS Ghosts
Pacific Rim
Father Ted
Lord of The Rings
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Death In Paradise
Dalgliesh
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
1. Crowley's Game - Good Omens (Ineffable Husbands)
2. Return To Sender - Good Omens (Ineffable Husbands)
3. Silk All Around You - Our Flag Means Death (Ed/Stede)
4. Oh Good Lord - Good Omens (Ineffable Husbands)
5. Out Of Suffering Into Love - Good Omens (ineffable Husbands)
hmm. Guess GO fandom is where I've cashed in the biggest, kudos-wise *Raises a glass to Good Omens Fandom*
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to respond to as many as I can, and I want to respond to all of them, but ADHD and work and life keep me from doing it right away, and then ADHD and being off work and life make me forget. I will sometimes loop back around to read a new comment, then see that I never replied to another, far older comment, then go about replying to several, two years after they were left. I hope people don't mind. I promise everyone who's ever left me a positive comment, that I eat them all up like chocolate bonbons and count myself blessed for each and every one.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably that Childercelles fic where Henry dies in the end. I think maybe 10 people read it. If you're in JSAMN fandom, and you ship Childercelles, and you want a link, PM me, but I can't remember the name of the fic for the life of me. It was pretty angsty. Outside of that, I hate angsty endings. Everyone eats ice cream and cuddles at the end of my fics.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Gonna echo the wonderful @totallysilvergirl and say that I don't do unhappy endings. That Childercelles fic was the only one I think I ever wrote with an unhappy ending, and even that was more of a melancholy ending. Everything else is Häagen-Dazs and rainbows.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten a few harsh criticisms, and a few snarky comments, but never actual hate.
9. Do you write smut?
I sure do! I've written a whole lot of smut, and I really love it. Regardless, it can be challenging sometimes. I have to be in the right place, and have the right focus to write smut, and lately, it's been feeling more labor intensive. I've been taking a step back from the explicit stuff lately, and playing around in M rather than E, and less sexual waters for a change. Sometimes a gal needs a break. I'll always happily write it for others, but don't feel inspired to write it for myself right now.
10. Do you write crossovers?
I really see my Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell/BBC Sherlock crossover as my first and only crossover. It involves main characters from both fandoms meeting one another, and John and Sherlock live in a world where England's history is the same as the history in JS&MN. It's been a very fun experience, but I'm really writing it for @keirgreeneyes 's birthday, because we share a lot of stuff between those two fandoms, not because I love crossovers. I don't feel drawn to them at all usually.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope. Someone came to me a couple of years ago, saying they were being bullied over accusations that they were plagiarizing my good omens fic. They even showed me the fic people talked about, and after scanning it for a bit, I didn't see anything that looked like plagiarism. I posted on tumblr saying I'd rather people plagiarize me than cause one moment of suffering due to bullying, and left it at that. I was really just jazzed to have people *want* to plagiarize me, honestly. It was flattering.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! In Korean I think.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, and I'm not sure I could. I also don't like cooking with other people or showering with other people. I just like having the reins on writing and cooking and showering fronts I guess.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
Oh god please don't make me choose. My children, my precious children. After careful consideration though, I'm gonna have to go with Crozier/Jopson - Jopzier from The Terror. I mean. Come on. It's me.
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I wrote many chapters of a really fun, but really complex and pain in the ass multi-chapter mystery fic for the rarest of rare pairs, Jack Mooney/Florence Cassell from Death In Paradise. So yeah, I would love to finish it, but I don't have the spoons, and it will have a readership of roughly four people.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I write good dialogue. I write good smut. I can make up stories at the drop of a hat, and then put them down very quickly, in large amounts of words. I'm a long distance runner when it comes to fic. I like my sense of humor in fics, and I'm always so happy when someone leaves me a comment telling me they laughed really hard at something I wrote. Ditto incoherent babbling about my fics making them horny. Those comments are so good.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Eh, my weakness is I'm just not an amazing writer? I do it because I love it, and it brings me so much joy, and people reading my fics brings me so much joy, and that's pretty much it. Also, I use a lot of run on sentences, and I have like six tropey things my characters always do, and I can't break out of it.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I didn't understand this one. I would love to write dialogues in other languages if I spoke them fluently. Outside of speaking a bunch of Spanish, I'm not fluent in anything but English.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
eeeeeeeeee @keirgreeneyes @totallysilvergirl my first ever fanfiction was BBC Johnlock! I tried writing a fic, probably back in 2013 or something, and gave up after a handful of paragraphs. I just lacked the confidence. Then, it wasn't until 2019 when I went nuts for Good Omens and wrote a bunch of fic that I wanted to go back and write that one, first, Johnlock fic. And I did it! It's Homecoming. BBC Sherlock is my first fanfiction fandom, and my introduction to fanfiction.
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Oh wow. That's a tough one. I really loved my one Father Ted fic, A Sweet, Hot, Sticky Romp, because I loved emulating the comedy style of the show and thought I did a good job.
I loved Out Of Time, my Jopzier time travel wackadoo fic for The Terror.
I guess I'll stop at two. I've written 171. I should get at least two favorites.
I tag @fol-de-lol @ilthit @yeswevegotavideo @keirgreeneyes @holycatsandrabbits

Hi,
I’m really happy to come across your page and bringing awareness and learning your bio pinned up.
I came across one of your posts talking about pro-ana. I had an account on here around 2016, and I remember getting messages from a girl who was about 2 years younger than me. She asked me if I could help her starve herself to reach her goal. But I refused and told her she shouldn’t be doing this. She didn’t like the response I gave and started calling me fake and many hateful words. So after that, I decided to delete my Tumblr account because you never know who seeing these posts, especially someone super young. I’ve never in my life would want to help someone go through the same struggle I went through.
I’ve been though recovery for about 5-years now, although it’s been 5 years and going through treatments and group therapy. While I was there, I thought my ed would go away and I would forget about it. I’ve realize we can’t burn those memories and till this day I still struggle with my ed thoughts. But what I can do is not let those thoughts fuck with me again.
I'm now back on Tumblr after a long time and now posting and reposting this for the better and things I'm interested in!
Again, thank you for spreading awareness and I'm so proud that you are here now ❤️
Thank you for this kind message; when I had a pro ana blog I thought I wasn't harming anyone but myself because I didn't use tags and stuff like that; never posted body checks or calorie counts/exercise routines, "ana diets," etc, but one day a 15 year old follower of mine asked me to be her "ana buddy" because I reached such a low "goal weight" and she wanted to be as thin as me. I cried my ass off, hating that me and my blog made other people suffer because of my ignorance to the harm I was doing. I told her to get help and deleted my blog the same day(back in 2011). I then started my main blog and anti pro ana blog, which feature my struggles throughout the years in a non-promotional way while encouraging recovery to everyone. I've been in and out in recovery since 2012. You're right- the thoughts never really go away. I'm working with my psychiatrist, trauma therapist, and a full team of varied physical doctors and treatments to try and get my mind and body in a better place since 13 years of Anorexia has caused me so much harm. That's why I call out pro anas and report when I can, because even if they don't use tags or suggest starving to others it's still harmful for other to come across, especially young people because the algorithm will promote your blog to others even if you don't. There used to be a much bigger "anti pro ana community" on here, but most have left- I'm hoping because they're taking better care of themselves. Taking a break from Tumblr when you used it to fuel your ED is always a good idea on recovery, especially at first. I'm proud of you too; keep up the great work!

MASTER LIST: One Fic for Each Fandom [A-I]
i've been working on this for months now, y'all, i'm so tired. Dx
many, soooo many years ago, i came up with the idea of recommending one fic, not necessarily the best or biggest or most popular fic, but definitely my ultimate favorite fic for every fandom i was in at the time or had been in at some point up to then. there are some fics i love so much that i go back to them periodically, maybe every couple of years, even if i'm not active in that fandom anymore. so i thought having a list of them somewhere i could easily find them was a pretty good idea.
narrator: she forgot where to "easily" find the list.
but i still liked the idea a lot, and i told myself when i found the list again, i would update it with fics for all the fandoms i've joined/read for since then. well, a couple of days as of the first drafting of this post, i finally found my original list on my old livejournal (christ, i'm old) and decided i would start on that update, but to post on my tumblr blog instead.
so here it is. they're not all romance, though most of these will include one or more of my favorite ships for their respective fandom (which you can find at my ships archive), even if it's just in the background. some of the fics are the same as i had in my original list, but some of them are not, simply because i've found fics i love even more since then. needless to say, most of those that were 'ported from my original list are quite old or written before canon was finished (the list is from 2006… please refrain from commenting if you weren't born back then, lol. i'm acutely aware that my early fandom life is basically ancient history to most of you). even some from more recent fandoms might be pretty old or non-canon-compliant, simply because i've been collecting fandoms since time immemorial. some might contain elements that would be considered problematic in this day and age. some might be unfinished. they're all special to me in some way.
some fandoms seem to have slipped through the cracks in the transition between FFN (where favorites and alerts are very organized but i always forgot to use them, and there's no read history) and AO3 (where subscriptions and history are unreliable and impossible to search through, and there's no way to see which fics you've left kudos on)-- srsly, how hard is it to just save everything in this age of big data? smdh. some of the links might not work, as you might imagine-- it'll take me some time to find new links, or to figure out if the fic is still even on the internet. if you've heard of these fics and know where they can be currently found, please let me know! because of that reason, i haven't listed ratings for every single one, though i've tried to add that in where i can find it. still, i hope this is helpful for someone, and i'm going to keep it pinned on my blog so i NEVER, EVER forget where it is again (and can regularly update it as i am sucked into more fandoms).
back in the day, i had hoped this format could catch on as a meme type of thing, so that other people could take it as a template and make their own fandom recs lists. so i'd love to see yours! be sure to tag me if you decide to do this. :)

BLEACH
next, home by inlay (T).
rukia was sitting in his room the first time he opened his eyes after. he does not know if this was a dream, or reality—remembers only that she looked very pale, and that there was a small, black hell butterfly perched on her finger. in this vision, she looked startlingly similar to the girl who used to crouch on his windowsill before school, shiny black shoes and black hair. he watched her for as long as his eyes could stay open, waiting for her to notice him and tell him what was happening. the battle hadn't felt like the deciding, dramatic finale he'd been subconsciously expecting, and he keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop.
what next?

THE DRAGON PRINCE
a delicate arrangement by jelly / @jelzorz (M).
it’s not that it’s a bad idea. in all honesty, ezran thinks it’s a well thought-out, completely reasonable, perfectly sound idea that could solve a lot of his own problems, callum’s problems, and katolis’ problems, in one fell swoop - if it works, that is. it’s a little risky, he’ll admit, but it’s not the same as, say, running away from home at ten years old with his brother and a moonshadow elf assassin (whose mission was to kill him, mind) to return a dragon egg in the midst of a centuries-long war, and hey, they’d managed that all right. compared to that mess, politics should be easy, right?
right?

ok i was kind of purposefully avoiding the details of the gravy basket theory because it's sounded so dumb but holy shit i really didn't know the extent of it. sorry in advance to be rambling in your inbox.
i thought if i wanted to talk about it i should read the post in full but honestly that was a struggle on its own. it just completely misunderstands the way the show uses ed experiencing purgatory as metaphor. like, the innkeeper does not show us this sort of wish fulfilling dream state at all, and ed externalizing his self hatred into the figment of hornigold is a simple, concise idea that the show specifically goes out of its way to make clear. episode 8 just doesn't have this. like, you'd have to make the argument that literally EVERY CHARACTER PRESENT IN THE EPISODE is somehow representative of an aspect of stede's psyche. it's not just a matter of him projecting his desires into a falsely constructed space, it's a matter of internal issues manifesting from the subconscious, which is what the show has established. it's particularly bizarre to me that they don't make any effort to argue what izzy is meant to represent in this theory, or what him dying could mean symbolically (which is. y'know. the point of the gravy basket as it's been explored). also there's just a complete disregard for ed's arc in the finale which is. eugh. come on.
and this is all still being generous in taking the idea of the "gravy basket" at face value. like, it feels a little ridiculous to even entertain the idea enough to try to argue it. i'm just so baffled.
(it did make me think about psychonauts to the point of wanting to replay it, so. i guess there's that.)
PRECISELY!!!!!!!!! don’t apologise for rambling in my inbox when you’re so correct my dear friend <3
i can’t believe that this theory has such a vice grip on some people. when it first appeared on my dash (and it did, not because a mutual reblogged it, but bc i follow the ofmd tag, and tumblr is evil and gave me the post bc it thought it was being helpful) i thought it was. a joke. i thought the op was having a laugh. but the more i read the more i started to worry. it takes a very distinct lack of media comprehension to come up with something like this.
now, i want to make it clear that i do feel for the people who enjoy izzy normally. like the folks who just like him because he’s interesting and fucked up and strange. the people that don’t woobify him, ya know? those guys are all right.
but the kind of devotion that leads to behaviour like this? threatening and belittling the writers of the show? calling ed violent and thinking he’s going to be an abuser to stede, the man he’s in love with? if you genuinely believe that then there is something seriously wrong with you, and i think you ought to look introspectively <3
also, as a side note, a large criticism i’ve seen for season 2 is poor writing (which is just not at all correct) but to make up for said “poor writing” the theories that people are whipping up are genuinely like. worse? imagine if they did the gravy basket thing again. gravy basket 2: electric boogaloo. that would be bad writing. that would be lazy!!
no, what they did instead was deliberate and careful and beautiful and hopeful. open ended and bittersweet. and yet. AND YET!!!! you get folks trying to cope so bad it makes them look stupid.
and this is all that i will say on the matter. tho, ive never played psychonauts and this might be the thing that makes me dive into that :)
#fandom critical#it’s actually been nice to talk about this#bc what the fuck is that theory and why are people convinced it’s real#like. no babe <333#anyway if you jump in my inbox and call me names i’ll start crying#ofmd#ofmd s2

Hello I was wondering if you can give me advice to publish a Fic .. I am new on this and and I have no idea how this works or if I need to tag somebody... I also heard about beta's .. what Is a beta? Any feedback you can provide It will be much appreciated .. thanks!!
Hi! How cool that you have a story you’re willing to share. I’m so happy for you and those of us who’ll get to read it.
Before you publish, let me first answer your question about betas. A beta reader is kind of like an editor; it’s a person who reads your work before you publish it. Most betas will catch typos and grammar issues, as well as plot inconsistencies, etc. A good beta will point out instances when your characters are acting out of character, or when you’re not following canon (if you’re trying to follow canon). But fear not! Betas also highlight stuff they love and make you feel very warm and gooey. (There are also plenty of betas who will give you a read and just give you encouragement. When I beta — something I sadly rarely have the bandwidth for anymore — I tend to ask what kind of read the writer is looking for; deep dive pick-it-apart beta? feel good beta? typos only beta?) Beta readers are, in my opinion, absolutely essential to putting out good fic. And most of them are absolutely dear people who are only pointing out your mistakes because they want you to put out the best work possible. Don’t take anything personally. (A thick skin isn’t necessary, but helps.) If you don’t have a beta or two, get one. And if you don’t know where to find one and would like help, feel free to send me another ask, and I’ll reblog to help put out the call.
Now, onto your other question. How does publishing a fic work? I can only speak to how I do it, but goes a bit like this:
Once my story is finished and beta-ed, the first thing I do is publish it to AO3. (If you don’t have an account, get one! This process may take a few days.) I assume you read fic, so you’re familiar with tags, ratings, etc. Next is formatting. Use Rich Text rather than HTML (there are buttons at the top right). If you’re publishing from a Google doc, you will annoyingly need to remove extra spaces. You’ll get a feel for it.
Once it’s on AO3, I copy and paste from there to Tumblr. My advice is to use the desktop version rather than mobile—you won’t have to reformat. I don’t usually tag anyone, but blogs like @today-in-fic are great to get more eyes on your work.
From there I also post a link to the story on AO3 to Twitter, but that’s only because I have a fic/fandom specific account.
Let’s see, what else. I hope that was helpful. If you feel like I skipped steps or you’re more confused than when you started, I’m happy to clarify. Good luck and happy writing!

🗺️Lipstick On My Guitar
Pairing: Hanzo Hasashi/Kuai Liang Length: 1897 Words Rating: Mature Warnings: Musician AU, Modern AU, First Meetings, Musician!Hanzo Hasashi, Pop Star!Kuai Liang, Alcohol, Musicians AU-Gust 2024 Day 23: Musician
AU-Gust 2024 Masterlist
Notes: I’ll be honest, this one is based on an older WIP, so if you’ve ever read through my WIP tag on my personal tumblr it might be familiar. I can’t remember if I actually posted it or not, but I’m working on the assumption that I did lol. It’s only really the first few paragraphs, after Kuai asks to buy Hanzo a drink is all new stuff. Title is from Shivers by Ed Sheeran.
This wasn’t exactly what he’d expected from his life. Sitting on the stage of a particularly empty and somewhat seedy downtown bar with his battered guitar that was well overdue being replaced. As he finished his song, the few patrons of the bar gave a small round of applause before immediately going back to their own conversations. He quietly thanked them for their time, before making his way off the stage.
Hanzo had once promised that he would be more than this, that he’d make his living touring with a band as their lead guitarist. But that felt like a lifetime ago now, and this was the only way he’d found to still hold onto those dreams. After he’d received his paycheck from the owner of the bar, he’d probably just return to his apartment and down his sorrows in sake.
“Uh, excuse me?” A small voice got his attention, and he turned to see who it came from. In front of him was a man, looking a little younger than Hanzo, with short black hair and a large scar across the one side of his face. He was eyeing Hanzo in a strangely hopeful manner. “I just wanted to say, you were really good.”
Hanzo squinted slightly. For some reason, this man looked strangely familiar but Hanzo could not think for the life of him how he’d know him. He was really pretty though, Hanzo could imagine he’d maybe managed to sneak into a few bands backstage areas in the past. But even thinking back to every gig he’d ever played, Hanzo could not place him.
“Thank you,” he finally answered, realising he had just stared at this poor man for a solid minute without reply. “Sorry to ask but do I know you? You look extremely familiar but I can’t figure out why.”
“No, I don’t believe we have met before,” he answered with a small smile. “My name’s Kuai Liang.”
He definitely didn’t know anyone by that name, this was going to bug him until he figured it out. Even so, he reached out to shake Kuai’s hand.
“Hanzo Hasashi,” he replied as the other accepted his handshake.
“It’s really nice to meet you, can I buy you a drink?” Kuai Liang offered, and Hanzo felt his eyebrows raise at that. He couldn’t remember the last time someone offered to buy him a drink. As flattering as it was, Hanzo wasn’t sure he was in the mood.
“I’m sorry, all I really want to do right now is go home to my bed.” It was surprising that the answer didn’t seem to upset Kuai all that much.
“I understand. Then, could I have just a quick moment of your time?” Kuai began to pat at his clothing like he was looking for something. “Um, you see, I’m a musician myself.” Oh here we go. Hanzo had to stop himself from rolling his eyes. He got approached by ‘musicians’ all the time, looking to get something out of him. He should have realised that’s what this was, rather than someone genuinely interested in him or his music. “I’m currently working on my next album, and I’d really like to hire some local musicians. Try to use my position to get some names out there, you know? Aha!” He pulled out a small piece of card and handed it to Hanzo. “That’s the business card for the record company I’m with.”
Hanzo took it, at least to see where this guy was claiming he was from. He almost did a double take when he read Lin Kuei Records. They were one of the biggest record companies in the world. There was no way someone signed to them was scouting for musicians in small seedy bars. This was absolutely a scam, but Hanzo could not let Kuai Liang know he was onto him.
“Of course, there’s no pressure for anything, but when I listened to you tonight I couldn’t help but be moved by your performance,” Kuai continued to explain, thankfully oblivious to Hanzo’s suspicions. “There are certain tells when someone isn’t just playing the music, but feeling it as well, and I could see you were one with the song.”
“Ah. Thank you.” All very nice things to say, but so obvious he was just trying to butter Hanzo up. “What kind of album are you making?”
It was a simple question, an actual musician would know at least what genre he was going for. If he gave some wishy washy non-committed answer, it was yet more proof he was just out to scam him.
“I’m mostly known for pop, I guess, but with this album I really want to step away from electronically produced sounds and go back to something more acoustic.” Okay, well, he at least seemed to have a direction he was going in. It was hard to say if that was genuine or not. “The world sort of knows this one side of me, which is fine, but it’s not always who I really am.”
“Such is life as a musician,” Hanzo mumbled in agreement. At this point, he wasn’t as certain this was a scam anymore, but he also wasn’t convinced it wasn’t. He’d probably have to try and do some research. Work out exactly who Kuai Liang was first, and if it was worth risking his career for him. “Can I have some time to think about this?”
“Yes, absolutely, take however long you need. You have the number of the record studio on the business card… but…” Kuai suddenly reached into his pocket, pulling out a small notebook and a pen. He quickly scribbled something down before tearing out the page and handing it to Hanzo. “That’s my number too, if you have any more questions, feel free to give me a call.”
“Oh.” Hanzo wasn’t sure how to take that, but he accepted the page regardless. He took a quick look, there was the number, and the words ‘call me - K.L xx’ written at the bottom. “I’ll let you know if I think of anything or to give you an answer.”
“Great, I look forward to hearing from you.” There was a beeping sound, and Kuai Liang frowned. Once more he reached into another pocket and pulled out a phone. How many fucking pockets does this man have? Kuai observed the phone before sighing roughly. “I’m very sorry, I will have to cut this conversation here.” Kuai offered his hand to shake one last time, and Hanzo accepted. “Once again, it was lovely to meet you.”
“You too,” Hanzo agreed, watching as the man scurried off towards the exit. He sighed, leaning against the bar and staring at the two bits of paper in his hands. If this was a scam, the business card looked really well made. The attention to detail was there.
“Uh. Hey.” The new voice caught Hanzo’s attention and he looked up to see the bartender wearing a weirded out expression on his face. “You… You do know who you were just talking to, right?”
“A scammer, probably,” Hanzo admitted solemnly, staring at the card once more. The more he thought about it, the more that had to be it right? Whenever did he ever get luck like that?
“Holy shit, you have no idea,” the bartender whispered in horror and all Hanzo could do was give him an annoyed glare.
The bartender shook his head, grabbing his phone and pressing a few buttons on it. Eventually he spun it around, and he was on an online video. A music video, some song called Rabbit Hole by Sub Zero. Now, Hanzo wasn’t that out of the loop. He knew who Sub Zero was, pretty much the most famous pop-star on the planet right now. What he couldn’t work out was why the bartender was showing him this.
The music started, and the singer in question popped up onto screen.
And that was when realisation hit him.
Sub Zero was Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang was Sub Zero.
That’s why I fucking recognised him!
It was hard to tell because the Sub Zero persona always seemed so flamboyant. In the video he was all dolled up, very bold makeup slathered all over his face, dressed in a skimpy bunny girl outfit and dancing in a provocative way. Kuai Liang had seemed positively ordinary in comparison, a little quiet and shy even. Suddenly, he understood the comment about his onstage persona not always being who he truly was.
And then, another realisation hit him.
Sub Zero, world’s biggest pop-star, asked him to perform on his next album.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
“I know you just told him you want to go home but here,” the bartender continued before sliding a glass of beer towards him.
“I uh, I don’t really have a way to pay for that,” Hanzo tried to excuse, because while sure, he would soon hopefully have cash from the owner, that particular money would be going on his rent.
“Dude, you just pulled a fucking pop-star, this shit’s on the house.” Bartender threw his hands up like he’d watched a god at work and turned away.
Hanzo took his beer and began to sip it, staring at the number in his hand. Knowing who Kuai Liang was changed everything. He actually kicked himself, regretting acting so flippant now. Still, at least he hadn’t just outright accused Kuai of trying to scam him and remained neutral. Because if Kuai Liang was sincere in his desire to use his influence to lift up local musicians, this sort of collaboration would be life changing.
He pulled his phone from his pocket, carefully transferring Kuai Liang’s number into his contacts. He knew Kuai Liang had said to call him, but that felt awkward so soon after they met. He pulled up messages, and sent a quick text.
[Hanzo said: Hello, it’s Hanzo, we just met at the bar. When exactly were you going to tell me you’re Sub Zero???] [Kuai Liang said: Haha, sorry about that 😅 It was just nice to talk to someone who wasn’t fawning over me for once.]
Hanzo paused, he supposed he could understand that. Guy probably couldn’t go many places without being mobbed by fans. It must have been nice to just have a normal conversation for once.
[Hanzo said: I can appreciate that. I’ve been thinking about your offer, and I’d like to know some more details, if that is alright? Is there any way we could meet to talk about it?] [Kuai Liang said: Yes, absolutely! I have a few free spots this week, whatever works best for you! 😊] [Hanzo said: Would tomorrow afternoon be okay?] [Kuai Liang said: Yes! 😊] [Kuai Liang said: Do you have a location in mind? If not, I know this little cafe that’s a bit out of the way, should be quiet enough for us to have a good chat.] [Hanzo said: Sounds delightful. I appreciate it.] [Kuai Liang said: Great! I’ll see you tomorrow! I’ll send you the address for the cafe in a bit 💕]
Hanzo smiled, putting his phone away and triumphantly taking a mouthful of beer. He didn’t know how this would go, but for the first time in so long, he was hopeful for where this could lead him.
Maybe he shouldn’t have been so quick to assume his dreams were dead.
