time to spontaneously appear in your inbox and ask about shiro trivia. hand it over

Shiro, as the oldest daughter with 2 younger siblings, is expected to be the responsible one. This, of course, means that she knows exactly what she can and can't get away with, and that she also knows that she's held to a higher standard than her siblings.

Occasionally this means letting the littlest sibling do her dirty work because their parents won't be as mad then.

Did she need to let Sora paint her horse rainbow? No, but she didn't stop him either.

They then spent the rest of the day washing Kenshi off before the paint set into the pegasus's feathers.

Officially, her father's no longer actively adventuring while her mother takes care of the farm's finances, but off the record she's pretty sure they've got something going on under the table.

If you listen closely, you can hear screaming echoing from the corner of the farm where the Killing Fields are reported to be. Dad says that's just what rhubarb sounds like. Shiro's not convinced when she and her siblings are forbidden from going within 100 feet of it.

They tried once anyways. Kenshi refused to take them in, so they went on foot.

The place is full of fog even in summer, so they were careful to hold hands as they entered.

Several minutes later, they were chased by something with a lantern on horseback, which snagged Sora and Kazia away from her, leaving her lost and alone.

... It was their dad, thankfully. He came back for her and gave all of them a well-deserved scolding.

shipping bingo board i made because some of them don't appeal to my personal thoughts. you may reblog and repost but if you repost outside of tumblr do not remove the watermark so others can get a clean ver of the board to use if they so wish. (watermark can be removed if you are posting to tumblr tho!!!!) these can apply however you wish and you may elaborate in your response too if what i put in the boxes doesn't get your thoughts across :)

here's your guys in order! thanks for the request, I had fun with this!

[burstfoot]

Alrighty, I'll toss two rarepairs at you for the game...

Czerny/Ebenholz (no surprise from me) and...Archetto/Pinecone!

For Czernholz: The propaganda worked!! Kriede & Eben's relationship is still the standout in LE, but I really love Czerny and Eben's dynamic as well & they'd be a very fun pairing, I love Czerny constantly pushing him to be better Archetto/Pinecone: IDOL GIRLFRIEND IDOL GIRLFRIEND... based entirely on the skinline but a REALLY good concept from the skin line. Two thumbs up (but I can't put it as high as Czernholz LOL)

7, 13, 23 for the songs game

7. is there/what is a song that always makes you think of your parents? 

a lot. any steely dan song is my mom. also specifically TMBG’s ‘you’re on fire’ from the ‘nanobots’ album, which i bought for them, bc she would sing along to it when it came on.

13. what's an album cover that you would frame and put up in your house?

so many obvi they're great art. but fruit town or fruit island standards i think would really fit in my bedroom theme rn:

also they're just really cute. who doesn't love fruit.

23. Do you create your own playlists? If so, how many do you have? 

yea i still use spotify specifically bc of the playlists. according to their count I have 209 but a lot of my playlists are like. 2 songs long… i like ‘em short and poignant.

fred/rucho for the ship ask game?

a mix of both ship it and not ship it answers because I don't feel to strongly about this ship so I don't have much interesting input sorry

Why don’t you ship it?: no big reason I just can't visualize an interesting dynamic or how they would end up together, I've seen others write this shit in a really fun way though.

What are your favorite things about the ship?: It has the potential to be written as a really interesting toxic ship!

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?: I love seeing how people work with their dynamic!

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?: we all know how fred gets a raise

23, 32 and 39 for the ask game?? 🫶

- elswing

(From this ask game for fanfic writers.)

23. how do you deal with writers block?

You know how everyone is always reblogging those "do it bad" posts? Basically that + skipping anything I don't feel like writing in the moment.

I try to make it as easy as possible to write anything down. Writing Tolkien-esque dialogue doesn't come naturally to me, so I'll write the shitpost version of conversations down as placeholders if it gets words down on the doc. 🤷‍♂️

Here's a sample of my drafts using this method bc I think they're funny:

Having my notes and hcs at the top or bottom of a doc usually helps me continue writing current WIPs. Also sometimes I send my unfinished draft to a friend and ask them if they want to finish it instead.

Prompt lists and random tumblr textposts tend to help me start new works. Lately I've been getting a lot of good inspiration from songs, which usually doesn't happen for me.

32. do characters influence your writing style?

They do, but idk how well I can articulate how. I know my writing with modern/non-Tolkien characters reads differently than my Tolkien writing.

I have a new Haldir/Lindir verse and I think the style is a bit different than when I write something like Rúmil/Melpomaen because my hc Lindir is a little shit (affectionate). He is diligently trying to hide from The Narrative, and that affects the pacing and the kind of details I include, especially when writing from Haldir's POV. I also have to think about formatting songs and poems in HaLindir's drafts more than my usual.

39. are you an avid reader?

Idek. I read on my phone everyday (fanfic, articles, pdfs of books, etc.) but I don't track it. Paper books are hit are miss for me these days.

Thanks for for the ask! •u• @elswing

list five words to describe them

do they consider themselves a good person?

Charnet time continues.

The first thing that comes to mind, when you see a shirtless seven-and-a-half foot tall goliath lady, is her size. She's massive. At least, compared to the average humanoid - for a goliath, that's pretty middle of the road.

She's also rather taciturn. Frivolous babbling is hardly her strong suit, as she's a woman of very few words - but she makes them count.

Raw power, on the other hand, is exactly her strong suit. Both in and out of combat, she makes use of sheer strength to muscle past problems that would be impossible for anyone else. Such as, for instance, a thousand pounds of stone caving in on the party. Even in situations where hitting the enemy until it dies isn't an option, she prefers to meet a problem head-on when possible. That said, she's smart enough to know when a more subtle approach is needed - such as "planning a wedding." (That's a euphemism for murder.)

She says that she values reliability, but actually it's loyalty that's most important to her. The two go hand in hand, but she'll take a B-tier friend over an S-tier mercenary any day.

Finally, while she's focused on practical matters like the here and now, she'll always keep tally of a grudge in the back of her mind. Grudging... Grudgeful? Is that a word? Well, one way or another, she'll have her pound of flesh.

Is Charnet a good person? No. Is she working on becoming better? Also no. She's loyal to hers, and everyone else can burn.

franflam (they are not sisters)

ahahahahaHAHA this is exactly what i was expecting people to send in when i said "controversial ships". no one is ready for one of my signature franflam tangents

under the cut:

you know the last time i did this ship bingo thing someone asked me about franflam too and i just flat out refused to respond because i didnt want to touch the discourse with a ten foot pole. either me putting my opinions here will get me cancelled or it will summon some people hopefully sane about this discourse. i love gambling

to preface, my honest opinions on the matter are that whatever the hell those two got going on in canon is queerbaiting. i say this as someone who bought star allies on a whim at gamestop as their very first kirb game like two years after it released, not even knowing kirby still made games at that time, and thus played the game with zero biases towards anything but yeah those two were written with a weird attachment to each other and it would be stupid to outright deny that. do i think franflam is canon though?: absolutely not and also i hate everyone who claims that with a passion. you could make a claim with a reasonable amount of evidence for either side of the argument and the fact that its even remotely possible both could be true at once, along with kumazaki himself either refusing to elaborate or confirm, or giving even More support to Either side is absolute bullshit and any sort of grey area here is totally his and the writers faults so hey can we all stop arguing about what the "correct" answer is when there literally isnt really one

anyways with that out of the way, heres all of the reasons i hate franflam without mentioning "potential incest" as a concern even once

their dynamic in canon is stereotypical angry black woman is overprotective of stereotypical dainty elegant white woman. hate that. gives me bad vibes. the whole "to show one character is in love with the other, they talk about their love interest nonstop every half second" trope is absolutely HANDS DOWN my absolute least favorite romance trope EVER. it drives me absolutely insane. thats the #1 way to get me to hate both of the characters and their relationship the fastest. holy shit shut up and focus on the story and whats happening around you instead of shoehorning mention of the other person into your words nonstop. hate that. i also hate the "person a is overprotective of their love interest" trope too, esp when it extends into jealously of the other person hanging out with others (sparkling pupupu world does this, for example). feels gross. can feel infantizing. if people see that as romantic good for you but i can not see it ever. its overly possessive. i think having a trio of mages and having two of them being separated and off fucking around on their own all the time as their "happy ending" is bad writing, especially when it comes to zans character being so heavily affected by her isolation from others and how hyness treated her AND YOU JUST GO AND SEPERATE THEM INTO FRAN+FLAM AND ZAN+HYNESS ALL THE TIME FOR SOME REASON HELLO. JUST MAKE ONE MAGE CHARACTER IN THAT CASE IF TWO OF THE TRIO HAVE NO DEVELOPMENT OR PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO FUCK OFF BY THEMSELVES. and then people who ship franflam also often end up shipping hynzan cause of that EWWWWWW GROSSSSSSS. also fran+flam being more close because the jambacult is a broken family that needs to heal Or them being more close because flam is an overprotective older sibling are INFINITELY more interesting to me as concepts than: "fran+flam are closer to each other and not zan because theyre dating and thus inherently dont care about zan as much because platonic relationships are always secondary to romantic". hate that. and the fandom. oh my God as people might be able to tell by all of the arrows on the bingo sheet i have fucking FEELINGS about this this needs a whole new paragraph

okay so. so 😍. i have this thing i call "red flag ships" where the ships are fine as a concept on paper but for some reason the shippers are just absolutely Rancid and that throws me off from liking the ship in its entirely and i get really sussed out by anyone who ships it. franflam is a red flag ship. i think the shippers have gotten so used to being yelled at by people who think theyre siblings that theyve pavlov'd themselves into being insanely hostile and aggressive to anyone who doesn't ship them. at least thats what i can tell from anyone whos Open and remotely loud about shipping them. istg i am not joking in the slightest when i say 95% of my interactions with people who Happen to be big or even decently into shipping franflam have been godawful. the convos dont even have to be around franflam i just think the ship inherently attracts awful people because its only aggressive toxic people who arent scared about shipping it openly. is that generalizing?: Yeah but thats just my personal experience. i have never met someone loud about liking franflam or who makes content for it that wasnt an awful asshole or yikes person in some way

that said, people who really like the ship but are quiet or lowkey about it usually end up being super chill and cool. its just the goddamn Fandom i have an issue with really. so anyone whos normal about it i am so sorry for you lmao

in a somewhat unrelated manner, i used to be somewhat close with someone who had franflam as their ultimate otp and God they fucking sucked. apart from redirecting every convo ever to be about franflam, they were also insanely nasty to anyone who even remotely saw them as siblings because they inherently saw it as an attack against franflam, so theyd always be making comments like "can you believe anyones stupid enough to see them as siblings" and "kinda misogynistic and lesbiophobic that metadede and marxolor are more popular than franflam when franflam is so blatantly canon" and yadayadayada they would say that shit completely unironically even right in front of me when they knew i hc'd them as siblings. i could complain up enough of a storm about that person and all of the insane things they said and did to fill up another 10 paragraphs but in general they were awful and really awful to me and multiple friends and you know what. i fucking hate the ship because of that too. sue me i cant stand seeing it around and i get grossed out by it.

on another note if i see anyone trying to push franflam as canon i will kick your ass. it might seem like im complaining about a problem that doesnt exist since tumblr is very anti-franflam, but on other sites its the opposite and if i had a nickel for every stupid "franflam is definitely canon and the only canon option and here's why" argument ive ever heard and could Easily debunk i could buy a fucking mansion. how to tell franflam shipppers its Okay if their ship isnt canon challenge: impossible (generalizing ofc, this whole rant is generalizing. take with a grain of salt. man i hate franflam)

Thank you for the tag @beachyserasims 🖤🤘🏾

@wannabecatwriter @vay2008 @therichantsim @theosconfessions @ladybugsimblr - tag, you’re it (or not… it’s all good)

[mar64ds]

if you haven’t played undertale/deltarune send me asks with what you think happens in the games OR any question you want to ask me about what happens in these games and these characters from the information that you’ve gathered from my posts and I will answer these questions

second option is if you haven’t watched/played sam&max send me asks about whatever you think happens to these characters OR any question you want to ask me about what happens in this franchise (i don’t know either but i’ll make sure to talk a lot about it)

the third option is you don’t have to send me anything at all, have a good day

[aroaceleovaldez]

eh fuck it. ask game: pick a number 1-257 and I’ll tell you a song from my Riordanverse playlist and what character it’s supposed to match to (and possibly why, unless i think it’s funnier if i don’t, or if it’s self-explanatory).
