ART TAG

Thank you @deathclassic for tagging me! This seems like fun :D

Have you always been interested in creating art? Came out the womb fingerpainting ;)

What's your favourite medium to use? If digital, what programs do you like? I mainly use Clip Studio Paint nowadays (So many features!!!!) But I used to use Photoshop a lot as well!

Hi!!! I come bearing big bang asks!

Favorite character/subject/object that was tough to draw?

Favorite and least favorite Royai tropes?

I can’t wait to see your full pieces!!!

HIII getting a bit late to these but hopefully is alright SDFGHJ

Favorite character/subject/object that was tough to draw?

OUGH HONESTLY?? Roy 😭 Idunno why, is just hard for me to make him look good? Or make him look in a way *I* perceive as good?? Other people tell me they like my Roy so idunno LOL

Ngl something that working for the Big Bang (doing 6 consecutive drawings of people) made me realize I am huh. Not very comfortable? Happy? with how I am drawing people and I been practicing in my own time with my OCs trying to see if I can get comfortable again/develop into an style that works

Is also so silly because bodies?? Hands?? those are perfect by me, is the heads and faces that I struggle A Lot to make them look good LOL I think this is the consequences of being a furry artist... 😔

Favorite and least favorite Royai tropes?

Answered some here and here ! I generally have a lot of opinions until someone asks me then I forget everything I have ever liked LOL huuuh I'm going to start with the dislike and then go to the like because they are related DFGH

I am going to be honest. I don't like how much this fandom puts an emphasis in the idea of marriage (Saying their relationship is not fulfilling until they are married or that is less because they have to keep it hidden) or even that they cannot date because of the anti-frat laws.......... LIKE I don't want to be that guy but. This is the queer trans man in me talking. I'm sorry they aren't oppressed LOL

Again is something that really bothers me over like... Idunno, all through history, even straight couples, had situations where they couldn't marry and had to keep relationships lowkey through their entire lives and were happy. It feels weird to me how many fanfics put "Royai is able to get married" as the ultimate goal in life when is like... idunno pal, you CAN be happy just like this......... WHICH LEADS ME TO. THING I LIKE. Man secret relationships are so fun SDFGH IN GENERAL but Royai with all the context going around is just so much fun. Having to sneak around, planning to have moments but also those that surge occasionally.... ough enrichment to my enclosure!! I looove office romances because it involves this and also having to create a separation between the relationship at work and the relationship under the covers

OUGH AND EXPLORING POWER DYNAMICS IS FUN!! I find Royai specially fun because the way it works is interesting. Yea they know each other since childhood so is not as straight forward, but there IS a power dynamic. Roy can try and push Riza around with his orders, Riza can get extremely angry at Roy because work has been going badly. Ough trying to have that difference, trying to act responsibly with each other but feelings are all around. I am eating my chair.

AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE!! this doesn't have to get in the way of them being happy or having a fulfilling relationship. They can't go and dance in public? then they dance together at their apartment. idunno there is something just. Charming, about everyday relationships that I think Royai can capture very well while also deals with two people in a very harsh moral situation....

[daradiostarzz]

Who are your fav HN characters?

Ooo okay! I'll give u my top one from all the IP... It'll get long if I list all of them so I'll give the top 9 I have been in this fandom for 8 years help me

Also heavy spoilers for like.... The books... And the first graphic novel....

1. Obvi the main 4 kids from the books (Nick, Enzo, Trinity & Maritza) super super grew fond of them since book 2 and have made them basically my childhood version of a girl group from a cartoon show (think winx club). They really play off each other well, Trinity having this very lawful chaoticness with Maritza (also when Maritza tells Nick "Oh yeah we bribed the teen to like distract Ted for 5 bucks" that shit was SOOO FUNNY) and then ofc there is Enzo... Ough I have alot to say about Enzo, he truly turned me around and made me start loving like "The asshole frenimie" relationship he had with Nick and god does he and Nick steal the whole of book 2 with chapter 7 for me, and also just like the one thing I enjoy out of them is the fact despite how they can be investigating on Ted, they're still children and they're very flawed and likable like you don't have to take my word:

Carly Anne West (The Author) really characterizes them so well and just god I love these four

2. I don't see these two tend to get talked about it's really sad cause like I really love the two, Jen and Allie from the Bosco Bay Graphic Novel HUGE SPOILERS FOR HN BOSCO BAY

Something about the way Zac Gorman writes these two are so infatuating especially cause they were the FIRST to confront Ted about his negligence and willingness to hide about the disappearance of Joe (Jen's brother and Allie's cousin) also just off tell him girl:

3. Minor characters again from the books but in a way really needed uh.... (specifically) Luanne & Jay Roth and Miguel Esposito..... (Yes.... Nick's parents... And Maritza & Enzo's dad in the books their mom fucking oofed) I really love the breath of fresh air that is the adults seriously they are so fun and charming from Jay's sweet tooth that Nick has a whole list of every treat Jay will consume just on a thought, Luanne's literal grief that is her mom despite her anger when she found out her mom left Nick in a storage closet in the fucking SUPERMARKET WHEN HE WAS 4-3??? CHRIST???? Also literally Miguel is everything Theodore wished he was and told Jay off after saying Ted should be in a lawsuit after killing a 7 year old girl with his death machine rollercoasters (also he's a single father I love single fathers 🫶🫶🫶) they also really play off each other so well and honestly idk if I want to call them archetypes for parents who aren't aware of how their child feels cause like... You kinda get why they were so busy but they still care and will protect their respective kids and like ngl it really puts in perspective how Ted is kinda... A bad father in the books....

If I had to categorize then like... Here lol obviously yes Nick really holds a place in my heart (He's the reason I'm trans and I realize my own traumatic experience) but like seriously I LOVE to talk about the parents and Jen and Allie cause I feel I'm the only one who really love them

Sorry if like I'm super uper rambly but it's soo fun to talk about them 😭😭

[fridayyy-13th]

sooo i hear you finished malevolent

indeed i did!! holy shit!!! it was amazing! and now i can finally unblock the “Malevolent spoilers” tag!

various thoughts (i have many but here’s a handful):

listening to the first episode, after John asked Arthur to look in the mirror and said he had the demeanor of someone not to be fucked with, i thought “…i’m sorry but no. this man is a sad wet cat. get him a warm blanket”

speaking of part 1, i was listening to it in the backseat of a car with headphones in so that was a game of turning up the volume to hear dialogue over the road sounds and turning it down to not demolish my eardrums when John shouted

by the time i was wrapping up part 4, i started to wonder if “John Doe” was a name the fandom made up for him, but when he explained to Arthur that he really liked the name and wanted to be called that…my heart absolutely melted. can you tell John’s my favorite? he’s my favorite :)

the one bit where Arthur is asked questions directly tied to everything that had happened since being bound with John? fucking impeccable. i would’ve said “ohh shit” aloud if i weren’t in public at the time

at some point i saw a post about someone taking an empty wrapping paper tube and mimicking John’s “Arthur!”

i tried it

it very much worked

i was promptly ecstatic due to this revalation. the tube wasn’t empty but it still worked great lol

speaking of John’s “Arthur!,” the way his tone shifted from part 1 vs part 28 still makes me emotional. holy shit

Kayne! what a guy. motherfucker. i had glimpsed some fanart of him eating popcorn or something before reaching part 28 so when i heard crunching in the background of That Part i was just like “ah. that’s why. Goddammit.” he’s a lot of fun and i like him a lot

ough hearing Yellow alongside Larson. Fear. excitement for what that means for the story, but also Fear.

during my binge i was working on a lego set i got for Christmas, of the house from Home Alone, and i legitimately nearly cried while hunched over that lego set when Arthur played Faroe’s Song right before John came back

and speaking of John coming back! Kayne said he had some sort of ulterior motive! what the heck! i haven’t seen much in the way of theories yet but John’s slip-up about being gone for a long time, i definitely don’t think he’s telling the truth. that said, i don’t think he wants to hurt Arthur in any way. especially considering he was trying his damndest to save him during that entire conversation

the piano strings guy. holy shit. what was he called? the butcher? absolutely terrifying, and now he’s coming after John and Arthur. fun!

the dynamic between Arthur and John is incredible. not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (*vague gesture in their direction that does not explain what the third thing is*). they’re just Them. not to mention i nearly cried over the fact that before John named himself, when he and Arthur still didn’t like each other, Arthur still took to calling him “friend.” i’m shaking them like a pair of glowsticks.

absolutely cannot wait for part 29. i’m so excited to see where this story goes.

[procrastinatingsoicanreadfanfics]

To put a smile on someones face tag 5 people and tell them why you like them.

ouhhhhh this is sm funnnnnn

@levithestripper - ough i love our interactions so so so much and i miss youuuu babe come back home the kids miss you. love love love that we have these intense talking phases that are so much fun and love that we've got so intensely different lives but still relate to each other a lot. eugh can't believe i almost went to college close to you (i think d3 swimming would have wrecked my ego though. also. america. i think i'll keep my distance for now).

@demon-of-the-ancient-world - now if there's one person I KNOW i can talk about athelstan with it's gotta be you. never considered myself an athelstanstan (haha) explicitly, but you made me love him anyway. you always come up with amazing ideas for headcanons that are so genius i'm concerned about the size of your brain.

@ilikeitbetterangsty - gurrrrlllllllll your fanfics i'm on my knees. mwah kisses to you bc you need to have faith in your writing and your looks (both are stunninggg). i'm so glad there's someone else who's pissed at the like/reblog ratio in the hotd fandom (and the influx of people who are toxic and/or do not understand tumblr to any capacity.) mwah mwah mwah anxiously awaiting your next harwin fic (no pressure though) to rip my heart out again.

@leithdragon - strongest pillar of the vikings fandom when it came to writing quality ong. it's currently missing your writing hours, but i'm always happy to see you interact with my posts (read: it makes my day). i hope that you can return to a safer fandom space one day <33

@erosology - okay idt we've ever actually properly interacted but you belonged on this list bc your fics??? when people ask me about cod fics i cautiously point in your direction and then run bc idk if they agree on the whole valeria branding situation (my gosh i do though. valeria come over, i've got the time). i just wanted to give out the biggest of compliments to your writing, your ideas, your stuff that other people would look at me weird for (thank you for expressing yourself here, it's been a safety blanket for me!), your entire account has been my holy grail of waiting at the busstop and pulling out tumblr for some fucking foood.

[dragonballwish]

Oop that link actually opens the asks woah :0

HI FREND!! :D! Gohan moment… Ough… Beloved nerd boy. Idk what the overarching ask stuff is about but I share interpretation based on some of the asks I’ve seen and because it’s Gohan time >:]

Tbh my interpretation of him isn’t that he despises/doesn’t enjoy fighting at all because of the fact the whole Saiyaman arc exists. To me it’s more that he likes fighting but only on his own terms in a fight that he knows he can win.

Against an enemy he can surely tell is weaker, who isn’t a true threat and where he’s helping people by taking them down, then he might have a blast in the fight. Testing his strength out, not going rusty Y’know? It’s just fun! He’s still half-Saiyan so his craving for battle is still there but just to a much lesser degree.

When it comes to fights he’s forced into or where the stakes are so much higher… Thats when he starts to hate it. Unfortunately a lot of the fights the other Saiyans DO enjoy are ones just like that, which would have that expectation of ‘I’m supposed to like fighting when it gets tough’. Of course that view is based on opinion, preference and nothing else. Like someone who likes to play easy games to feel good vs someone who plays tough ones for challenge.

Gohan likes to take it easy, get action in the form of little fights against human criminals where he can use a bit of his power. When it comes to anything with higher stakes it’s a whole other story.

Also funnily enough- To me Gohan beast isn’t what most of the fandom seems to interpret it as (uncontrollable, full of rage etc.). To me it feels more like a cold, controlled power that has him give in to his Saiyan battle drive a bit more, but that is ultimately powered by his love and desire to protect his family and therefore keeps him grounded. This feels especially true to me considering how easily he was able to switch out of it after the battle and the fact he was just kind of… Chatting with Piccolo. Barely bothered by it.

Compared to most of the characters in the show Gohan is considerably more analytical and thoughtful, so he feels much less likely to give in to an uncontrollable rage as an adult. He’s just so full of love and care and has a family and friends, his human emotion keeps him in check when he fights to protect them. To Goku (majority of the time) and Vegeta battles are challenges, to Gohan they’re threats to his most cherished family. Unlike the others he just can’t find any semblance of joy in fights when majority of them he’s been a part of have just been… Life or death.

Heem heem ;-; Is my thoughts. More than I thought I’d write… ough…

Prefacing this to tell you the link is just to my /ask so yes the link opens the ask HAHAHAHA and the discourse was just opened because I wanted people to tell me their gohan opinions no matter what it is !!

HI FRIEND !!! You continue to have very interesting takes on the characters :]

I agree that gohan does like fighting smaller fights— it’s the stakes that make everything less enjoyable. Gohan doesn’t want the whole world to blow up if he loses !!! He would much rather have a friendly spar with the consequences being very inconsequential (pay the tab for dinner tonight, gohan)

And well, gohan has never been bloodthirsty, though his emotional capacity to go sicko mode has been there as a kid … but. He’s had enough time to grow out of it and come to terms with those emotions and learn to manage them. I agree with you (though I DO like the interpretation that he can and will go feral and also that he will get mad and stomp around if you insult his action figures (see: buu saga))

Gohan beast is cool but it’s literally just another ssj2 gohan v cell literally down to the core so any new interpretation is welcome. I don’t know if I really would say I think it’s him being cold and calculating but he very obviously wasn’t out of control. He had his wits about him and once the problem was solved he was able to relax whatever. So I agree there. I didn’t care a whole lot for that whole part of the movie so I zoned out 🤷

I think it’s because he is so full of love that gohan has so much capacity to go apeshit though and that’s why I think that became his thing.

Lovely interpretation of his character thank you so much for sending this to me!!!

Hello i hope u don't mind getting multiple of these, you can just choose one if u want, for the ask meme: 🎈💞🍭

I don’t mind at all!

🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?

Hmm, I think my style is pretty fixed? I’ve looked back at things I’ve written in the past, and to me they seem consistent. Like I can tell it’s me who wrote them, I see and hear myself in them. I definitely have ticks and turns of phrase that I recycle regularly, and even when a story isn’t meant to necessarily be humorous, I find myself trying to infuse at least a little lightheartedness into it regardless (whether I succeed in that or not is questionable, lol). This is something I’d like to work on, though. I’d like to be able to write in a variety of styles, to adapt my voice to what would best fit the story… I hope I answered this one correctly 😅

💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

Character, character, character. If the characters are lacking, even the coolest plot or most engaging prose will fall completely flat for me. That said, I think these elements all work hand in hand, and if any one of them is not pulling their weight, it’s going to hurt the story or worse, hurt the reader’s enjoyment of the story.

🍭why did you start writing?

Ough, good question. I grew up in a family who loved to read, so it wasn’t a huge leap to take an interest in writing. But I’ve never been very confident in myself, and that was a huge barrier I didn't overcome for a long time. As a result, I didn’t actually write anything of substance until dipping my toes in fandom and fanfics as a young adult. For me, it felt like a low stakes and safe place to explore story ideas and develop my writing, and honestly it’s just a lot of fun to connect with people over shared interests. I have different reasons for why I'm still writing now, but I do wish I had been braver and started writing sooner.

[funnywormz]

(a day late but) for the fandom asks, 3 for both lister and rimmer?

OMG FUCK YES also don't worry abt being late im always up for ask games they're a lot of fun hehe

putting this one under a readmore bc i have a lot to say lol

i will do lister first and rimmer second!

003 | give me a character and i will tell you...

how i feel about this character:

OUGH. i love lister so much. he's my favourite character for sure although rimmer is a close second. he's just such a fun silly guy but with this sad side to him....... i rlly appreciate how he's shown as tough and masculine and yet he's allowed to have hobbies like knitting and cry at romantic movies and care abt his friends without it being mocked. he's not a perfect person but i adore him anyways. very relatable at times as well lol. i also have a massive crush on him i think abt kissing him at least once a day hehehehehe

any/all the people i ship romantically with this character:

definitely rimmer ofc. maybe ace as well??? kinda??? but since ace is still just another rimmer idk if that even counts lmao. basically it's just rimmer

my favourite non-romantic relationship for this character/favourite friendship for this character (im combining these questions bc they're kinda the same thing?):

ouuuuuh probably his friendship with kryten? i love how he genuinely respects kryten and how kryten is so adoring of him. kryten is kinda like a weird mum to him and it's so so funny and cute they're so silly. it makes me happy whenever they interact, esp when kryten coddles him and is sweet with him despite lister being a grown man lmao.

also it's kinda cheating to use them twice but i love lister and rimmer's friendship in a platonic way as well. they're just always hilarious whenever they're onscreen together and the way they bounce off each other is extremely fun

my unpopular opinion about this character:

idk if this is rlly unpopular but i get a little frustrated by his inconsistent characterisation in the show, esp in s8 compared to other seasons. i get that he does whatever the writers think is funniest but sometimes he does or says something and im like ":( lister wouldn't say that......." even though he is literally saying it in canon lol

also i think he needs more love in the fandom maybe. or more fics abt him getting a hug or something. this dude is depressed and lonely as hell and it makes me so sad can rimmer give him a hug PLEASE

one thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon:

i wish his relationship with kochanski had gotten a proper resolution/he could move on from her and stop pursuing her romantically....... ive made longer posts abt this before but i just feel like his initial crush on her was just a shallow schoolboy kind of crush and it feels like a disservice to both of them that he's still chasing after her after getting to know her and them clearly not being romantically compatible. like in some episodes they're best friends but then the writing goes back to having lister treat her like an object rather than a person and it irritates me. i wish they could just be friends bc i adore their friendship and when lister interacts with her in a platonic way it's clear that there's such a fun dynamic there but it was utilised so rarely :(

my crossover ship:

ohhhh i don't rlly tend to do crossover ships so this was a hard one....... not rlly a ship more of a friendship but i would love to see him interact with the doctor from dr who lol. ik it's kind of a predictable choice as a crossover bc they're both british sci fi but i think depending on the iteration of the doctor they could either get along rlly well or hate each other and either way it would be very very funny.

i also think it would be fun to do a disco elysium crossover sometime. i would love to know what he'd think of harry and kim, i have a feeling he'd get along rlly well with kim but maybe that's just me

OK NOW I WILL DO RIMSY >:-)

003 | give me a character and i will tell you...

how i feel about this character:

ohhh i hate him but i love him so much. an awful person but a great character and unfortunately very relatable sometimes. i want to hug him and hold him so gently but i also want to put him in a hydraulic press. out of all of the rd characters he's probably the one i think about the most unfortunately. you know how it is

any/all the people i ship romantically with this character:

lister of course! and ig some of the au listers, like the one in the rat universe lol. but really it's just the main lister tbh. i just can't see him with anyone else

my favourite non-romantic relationship/friendship for this character:

sorry but it's lister again lol. like his friendship with lister. their dynamic is just so fun, i think my all time favourite scenes are the ones where they're together....... moonlight and sunlight etc etc etc

my unpopular opinion about this character:

it's a pretty generic opinion but i don't believe that any of his attempts at flirting with women/seeming attracted to women in canon are genuine lol. it always feels very forced and unnatural to me. that man is a deeply closeted and confused gay boy and i can't see him any other way tbh. i think he WANTS to be straight so bad but he is not. not even a little bit

one thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon:

i wish his character development would stick more! like ik he has to be bitchy for the comedy and that's fine im not saying he has to suddenly be nice or whatever but it's frustrating to see him grow a little bit as a person or overcome one of his insecurities only to go back to being even worse than before in the very next episode........ he is a little more mellow in later seasons than he was in the earlier ones but not by much, and i feel like things like learning abt his real father and going off to be ace and stuff should have had a real visible impact on him instead of just. not changing anything lol

my crossover ship:

once again. not rlly a ship thing but the disco elysium crossover. i just think it would be funny. he would probably try to schmooze up to kim and harry and get in their good books bc he sees them as being in a position of authority but i think he would secretly hate them so bad and it would probably be kinda obvious lmao. i think kim would absolutely despise him

also i want to lock him in a room with spamton deltarune for a few hours and see who goes insane first

[im-just-kinda-here-k]

11 and 12 for the ask game?

11: fave piece of lgbt media?

Off the top of my head there's owl house (fun fact I dont got Disney plus so I watched the whole dang series through YouTube clips and episode analysis. I should just suck it up and go torrent it but ough) another one I'm a fan of is cosmic wonders. An in-progress anime type thing made by p.m. seymour. The gist of it is that God, known as chronoa, decided to make a fucc ton of celestial spirits, who design whatever celestial body she tells them to. Then when they're finished, they are gifted special powers that symbolically represent their associated celestial body. (Ex. The lunar spirit Cyana can summon magic shield bc the moon protects earth from meteors)

The series takes place on earth, with the main cast being a band/fighting group that is working to raise awareness of earth's non human population (beast folk, mermaids, elves, a few immigrants from other planets in the solar system) as well as encouraging their acceptance. The villains are the black suit corp, a government organization turned terrorist group who want anything non-human dead. I highly recommend u watch the pilot and episode 1, + check out the fandom wiki aaand im gonna cut myself short before this post gets any longer.

12: fave lgbt artist?

That would have to be The Stupendium! I'm not exactly sure what genre their music be considered to be, but every single one is timeless like you literally can't get sick of it. If you haven't seen their music the best way I can describe it is if ur friend in middle school who made minecraft parodies went professional, most songs are based on a specific game like stray or tf2 and it's works perfectly each time.

[evanescentdawn]

me: writing is too much of a trouble

also me: hey, what if. I do. playlist shuffle picks song and depending on what songs come up, associated fandom/ship I will work on wip until it strikes midnight

more rambling abt the wips, under,

BECAUSE WHY NOT.

the first one is wip of ssblankperiod2023 that I wanted to finish them but eh didn’t really. anyways. it wasn’t really working on it than rather rewriting and maybe adding (1) new sentence. anywyas. i love TJEM so MCUH. theyre so<3<3<3 sasusaku on their travels is actually something that’s v important to me. also the whole thing of…..sakura going thro pregnancy…..and Sasuke being the absolute MOST insufferable. (00:09) husband that anybody has ever known. but also sakura has a life !!! a child !!!! he and her created. he’s going to be a freak about it. also sakura being endeared, really annoyed, but so endeared and understanding his actions — why he is Being like this — also she loves being pampered too, actyally. so she lets him be for a while. before punching his shoulder a “bit” so he can Relax and Let her Be, lmao. also the fact this fic idea was first brought by me going cray about sasuke + change in hair + sakura noticing it. i dont have that many wips/fics about hair on sasusaku but it’s more than one. and two. I think. anywyas. i need to write more. SASUSAKU…..HAIR….u know. I haven’t even gotten to the scene and that’s a crime. I SHOULD. anyways, yeah. also one thing that’s annoying me: in my writing, I notice, I urgh exaggerate fondness/endearment between characters towards little stuff they do and I LIKE THAT but also it’s getting fcking annoying. anyways, just saying. 00:13

SO THE. TOURUKI/BLEACH MODEL AU. read thro wip again. okay like so. actually. I have only (2) wips currently of bleach in my docs because everything fjjfjfjfj is scattered between tumblr drafts LMAO or notion or notes I think. anyways. I didn’t want to work on the ichihime one in there and this was there. so I read it, and it was fun actyally. a lot to work on, but fun. I decided to pick off where I stopped and that was — ishida & kurosaki — and god, why have I not written them before. well. yeah, actually I have….. but thats beside the point. I need to Write them. anyways, they’re so <3 and god I forgot what ship and what not ship was supposed to be in this wip. I WANT. POLY. SO BADLY. poly bleach. it is V Good. 000:16 never over the fact that ichigo actually. doesnt even know that Ishida exists in his class but before that — he actually berated rukia on not knowing Orihime was her classmate. classic ichigo behaviour <3 and of course he doesn’t know this rude, up-tight designer he has to work with years after is actually a highschool classmate. ALSO. ISHIDA CALLING ICHIGO KUROSAKI…. IM SO…… ISHIDA SIGHING AS HE SAYS KUROSAKI…… ISHIDA ADJUSTING HIS GLASSES AS HE SAYS KUROSAKI……..can u tell how much I miss bleach. anywyas, it’s so good. I miss it. I NEED TO WRITE MORE BLEACH STUFF. 00:19

so next was…. OUGH…. another sasusaku stuff. like. the next latest wip I have apparently was the garden was. I think it was “his name” but I ignored that for garden. didn’t think I was actually going to u know. work on it. but then I read it, got a strike thought for how to continue and IM DISTRAUGHT. blank!!!period!!!!! sasuke!!!!!!!!! SASUKE INTERACTING WIYH STRANGERS HE MEETS ON MISSIONS. that leads to conversation about gardening + tomatoes. sasuke learning about the art of gardening. im distraught. I love him and this fic so much. god. im so !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 00:22 [00:24: for some one who doesn’t even like gardening, they sure like the idea of gardening fics. well. actually I don’t about that but whenever I read my fav characters do gardening it’s [sobs] SOOOOOO. you know. 00:25 anyways,

[zhongrin]

tbh I'm not sure if rambling/ranting abt characters you enjoy is allowed in this blog but man I still think abt how I got Kazuha on my NA/America acc last year

Like every time I see him on my acc and fanart of him w/ the other boys I am always, ALWAYS reminded of how he decided "oh lol I'm coming home at like the second 10 pull with your primos :)"

And honestly it was during his debut so i cannot tell you the feeling I had when I see that golden light just BARRELING and the ugly yell I let out because I??? Got my ronin boy???? Against 50/50???

I swear I'm not delusional but God I want to rant sm abt him because it was also during the first archipelago event and he hasn't left my team since then ;v; I genuinely owe him a LOT for helping my now (sort of) built team and every day I just go "damn, I wouldn't be having an easier time traveling without you on my party"

I don't know man, I may sound extremely delusional ranting abt my favorite anemo boy that has so much trauma on his shoulders that he's resolved during the events + story quests but he's so precious, it makes my heart soar. I would rant more of what I want to do to him (all sfw of course, I'm too embarrassed to rant abt NSFW online ahisbsidjd), but this could take ages and I don't wanna swamp your inbox ;v;

Anyway, rant over, I just want to talk abt my first encounter with Kazu and how he decides that day of all days to come home despite me not being extremely close to pity (and hasn't left my party since)

(p.s: I really love your blog and your works!! I have so much saved and liked because I love rereading it on my off time— you were an inspo on my own writing blog that's based on a different fandom and I love your interactions w/ other people jajsbsjsb /pos /gen. I don't usually come and send an ask because I'm scared of coming across as too forward or even as too creepy ;v;

also, it's because as much as I like checking other people's works like Ansy's, yours just has a special place in my heart and I love rereading your fics when I found them. I am biased on Kazu and Xiao but the way you write others has me clutching my chest like "gods I'm going to love them and I don't like the thought of it but ough—" wwwwww

Also, as an additional note, I did migrate from Ansy's which was the Ayato one...? because I saw one of the posts w/ you and decided to hop in wwwww, anyways side tangent here over ty for reading my full confession /exag)

— 🌸🍒

it's VERY MUCH ALLOWED!!! tell me all about your faves!! tell me about your f/os if you have them!! tell me about the mundane things you and your f/o does!!! literally go ham, bc rex lapis knows i am gushing every day every second 24/7 about zhongli (and al haitham, but mostly zhongli) so ofc yall get the same privilege lol

hsldkjflsdf lucky!! i had to spend some $ on kazuha on his second rerun(?) i believe, because i was not yet into genshin when he came out! he's SO good at both combat and exploration, i totally agree. makes it SO much easier to gather the drops too!!

mr./ms./mx. cherryblossom nonnie, i would like to let you know that you're always welcome to drop a whole-ass essay (both sfw or n.sfw) on your beloved anemo boy if you want to. i might not always reply to it immediately but i promise you i will eventually. you wouldn't swamp my inbox or anything, it's fine!! i never feel pressured to answer asks and i know my followers don't expect me to do so immediately!!

ps. i'm literally gonna cry /pos that's??? so sweet??? i'm super glad you're having fun reading my silly writings and the interactions with my friends <3 definitely not creepy at all! i love receiving asks and talking with people!!

SO YOU'RE THE SAME PERSON AAAA i actually considered asking you bc i saw you on ansy's blog and i went 👀 could it be??? but i decided not to just in case bc i don't want to confuse people if it turns out my hunch was wrong lol BUT ANYWAY WELCOME!!! i hope you'll enjoy your stay here... mayhaps we can secretly fangirl over ansy's amazing works hehehehe

[sturmdunkel]

🧡❄️Yay! I'm so excited to get started on this it's really bad. Like I'm participating in another fandom event right now and I have to finish the fic for that first because the deadline for that is coming up soon…but mechanic!Andrew and android!Neil tho 😭

And to my shame I have to admit that I'm really, really bad at reading fanfic so not only don't I have any sci-fi au recommends but like. no recommends in general. I'm sorry. Do you have any recommendations for me tho? I can't promise I'll read them, but maybe there is hope for me yet.

(I have written some sci-fi aftg fic myself, but I'd feel weird passing off my self promo as a genuine rec, so I'll have to wait to tell you about that until December…)

I can probably recommend you some published sci-fi works tho. On the topic of robots/androids/ai I read a short story called "The Lifecycle of Software Objects" by Ted Chiang for a class on AI in literature once that I absolutely adored because the development and then treatment of these AIs just felt super realistic (it's in a collection called 'Exhalation' that i've been meaning to continue since but for some reason haven't). For the same class we read 'Klara and the Sun' by Kazuo Ishiguro which was also really good. Both of them are a little bittersweet tho. Then there's 'A Closed and Common Orbit' by Becky Chambers, who, if you've never read anything by her before, just writes really good spacefaring sci-fi. I adore her worldbuilding because it's so creative and detailed.

Also on the topic of robots: I only watched Studio Trigger's 'Promare' this year and absolutely fell in love so if you want some big robots and haven't seen that one yet I can only recommend that. The same with Evangelion. I'm *obsessed* with Evangelion.

I could probably scrounge up some more general sci-fi recs, but idk what you may or may not have read already. So let me return the question: do you have any recs for me? ❄️🧡

Ough same,,, I have to finish a comic for a fandom event but I'm really excited for it and also for this hehe >:DDD

Also don't worry!!! I think I'm on the opposite side of this spectrum,,,I think I've read most aftg fics on ao3 that are over 50k,,(this is foreshadowing) my favorite sci-fi work on ao3 is probably this monster of a fic called the wonders I've seen by gluupor and it's a farscape au!! Tho I've never actually played the game :")),,,,regarding other reccs I have,,,too many haha but nothing that's short :"

Aaaa thank you so much for the recommendations!!! I will go check out my local bookstore to see if they're in stock >:D I've been in a reading slump lately so I'm really excited to check them out!! I read Klara and the sun when it came out and I felt my brain expand reading it haha :)))

Also I really loved promare!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! :DDD studio trigger has such a wonderful animation style and I love their stuff >:) I'm also a really big fan of evangelion,,,,a kaworu figurine has been tempting me for a few months but it's like,,,200 ish euros oughh

On the topic of recommendations!! Have you read/ heard of the murderbot diaries? :O it's got a more satirical approach on the android but it's really wonderful and fun nonetheless!! I can't think of any more books at the moment however!!! If you liked evangelion have you considered watching Pacific Rim (directed by Guillermo del Toro the coolest guy ever) and studio trigger has some more fantastic sci-fi series like kill la kill, cyberpunk: edgerunners and star wars: visions! I also like tiger & bunny (recommended if you like a seemingly more lighthearted mecha pilot series) , gurren lagann is also a wonderful mecha series and one of my favorites BUT if you're to watch one I'd say you should watch Pluto, or read it!!! The mangaka is Naoki Urasawa who also made Monster and 20th Century Boys!! :DDD ah right and Trigun,,,,my timeless obsession :"

Also podcast wise if that's your thing,,,,wolf 359 is really really great, starts out as a comedy and ends up with you staring into space :P

Ok phew I'm so sorry,,,,,I love recommending stuff can you tell,,, :") either way!! I hope you have a wonderful day/ evening depending on your time zone!!! :DDD

[my-past-disgusts-me]

Y'know what fuck it I'm going song by song and explaining myself for fun and sport let's go

GIRL HELL 1999 - yeah that's a Kabru song that's literally the first public thought I had about dungeon meshi

エビチャーハン! (You're Telling Me a SHRIMP Fried This Rice?!) - for the main squad, can also be applied to any Laios or Senshi ship if you want, Farcille too now that I think about it. Self explanatory tbh

HITO mania - Winged lion coded. Also Kabru.

Countdown Boom!!!!!!! - uhh tbh this is just a song I relate to autistically so. Y'know. It belongs.

My Bread Was Burnt to a Crisp - yeah

Tomato Troubles - Izutsumi

The God of Longevity - oooooooouhh oughghhhh this is the song I relate to any fandom I can and for GOOD REASON oh man I'm like. Inblove this song. All of the Kikuohana songs tbh but this one in particular because god. Oh my god. Oh my fucking god. Anyways this one is Laios vs the Winged Lion to me.

Love, an eggplant, and a peaceful fruit - I can't even explain this one to myself something something autism something something crazy world go read the lyrics for yourself

I Just Hate People+ - "I like dogs, I like cats, I like you, but I really hate people" now tell me that's not Laios

The Only House That's Not On Fire Yet - honestly I don't remember this one sorry guys

Welcome to the Star Inn - ough a safe place at the end of the world, and gentle space to stay before you're consumed by hell, a place to lay and rest forever, rest your weary head and sleep, anyways winged lion I think

Them Changes - Mithrun

Missing, Missing - the dungeon lords

Ki Do Ai Raku (fuck the english title I'm not calling it "emotions" the fuck) - I associate it with the squad breaking Marcille out of her evil trance

Appetite of a People Pleaser - Kabru

Aimaina - a vague, vague future... something something autism something something crazy world anyways

Animals - Toudens as an allegory for transness my beloved

Ghosts Play to the Audience - I associate this with Mithrun but it's really more of a Kabru song

The Taste of Cockroach - Touden siblings, especially when they were younger

Color & Electricity - Winged Lion

Animal - Kabru

Not Photogenic - Kabru

Tonchinkan Feast - something something eating something something crazy world anyways

Every Day - uhhh I don't remember why this one's here probably because of Kabumisu though

OGRE - a vague recollection of the lyrics something about a crazy big monster eating everyone anyways

KATAMARI - this one is also Izutsumi

Premier Inn - Mithrun I think but I put it there because of Kabru so who even knows anymore

Bubbly - I know this one! Mithrun.

Hermit the Frog - I saw a really good dungeon lords animatic to this one and they were right so

Pokkan Color - something something connection something something autism and friendship and being hated for being yourself and yet still being and having joy and having fun and loving

Wonderful World - man everything sucks but also there's so much that's beautiful

All I Need Are Things I Like - Izutsumi

Motivation is Dead - Mithrun

every single character in dunmeshi is autistic, but the ones that are most *my brand* of autistic are Izutsumi, Kabru, and Mithrun.

In order we have “I don’t want to do anything I don’t like….but I guess I’ll do it if it’s for the people I care about”

“Every social encounter I’m in needs to be overanalyzed until I’m sure I’m winning it (creating the best outcome possible)”

And “All motivation is gone to do anything even the things I enjoy except for spite and maybe a need to be loved and respected”

fic recs 4

rainwater by miracleboysatori | T | 11.6K

ushiten. somewhat of a relationship study; ushijima doesn’t really get tendou’s love for the rain, but in learning to understand it, they grow a little closer. they’re cute.

growing pains by swordsainted | G | 2.8K

oikawa-centric. oikawa gets a little nostalgic and a lot apprehensive of things to come, and iwaizumi’s there like he always is. soft summer vibes.

there’s a mountaintop (that i’m dreaming of) by kouzaires | G | 8.9K

pov outsider of hinata as he leaves high school and takes on the world. i can’t describe how this fic makes me feel but i love hinata very much and so does everyone else, as they should.

it’s not living (if it’s not with you) by brella | T | 36.9K

tsukkiyama. groundhog day au in which tsukishima is a misanthropic tv reporter caught in a timeloop. i liked tsukishima’s voice a lot in this one, and the emotions Can and Will kick you in the chest—it aches, quite a bit sometimes, as he tries to adjust, and the happy ending is wonderful :)

to love is to tell the story of the world by allicanseeispink | T | 11.5K

post-timeskip konoha-centric as he spends an evening with his friends. also partially an outsider pov on bokuaka and very, very pretty with many Feelings

tongues and teeth by priorwalter | T | 4.2K

sunaosakomo. au in which osamu and komori are vampires and suna has no idea and just thinks his boyfriends are kind of weird and possibly in a cult. funny and includes aran and suna being bros

you will not be hungry by curvatures | G | 2.6K

daisuga and what comes after the kamomedai match. prose-heavy and very sweet :)

teach me the way home by icespyders | T | 22.1K

kuroken and a kuroo character study. a series of scenes as kuroo and kenma grow up together on trains and in train stations. beautifully written with on-point characterizations; kuroken love each other a lot and it knocks me Flat

in between evenings by thispieceofmind | M | 31.2K

daisuga. they’re pining and a little bit stupid about it, but this whole fic is soft and warm like fresh bread and. woaugh. them.

One October Hour by Wy95 | T | 4.2K

reon gets dragged into a noir detective roleplay storyline by the rest of shiratorizawa. screenplay format. this one made me laugh out loud a few times; they love him a lot.

but his brother, sleep by nautilics | G | 2.4K

miya twins-centric. gods au, second person pov by an unnamed outsider making the trek to the top of a mountain to ask for the twins’ favor because things in the mortal world have stopped being able to die. really, really cool vibes.

games stop? sure hope they do by asynchrony | G | 4.2K

datekou-centric. au in which the team all work in a gamestop and a collection of moments throughout their time working together through the eyes of one nametsu mai. plotless but a lot of fun and one of my all time favorite fics in the fandom; this author never misses.

tatami stitch by asynchrony | G | 1.7K

datekou-centric. moniwa, kamasaki, and sasaya, as first years, make their own uniforms from scratch. this is a love letter to them and the team and it’s. ough. wow. like i said, this author does not miss!

Point Break by suspiciousflashlight | T | 18.3K

daisuga. suga accidentally submits the wrong file in place of a science project, and the two of them, plus asahi and kiyoko, make attempts to get it back. i’ve recommended it before, but this one’s really funny and by one of my favorite haikyuu authors; the whole fic is light and fun and i adore daisuga’s characterization and dynamic.

Laissez-Faire by suspiciousflashlight | E | 31.3K

asanoya. asahi joins nishinoya backpacking in france and nishinoya is maybe kind of definitely trying to woo asahi with the wonders of traveling along the way. has the energy of a romcom and made me crack up multiple times; they like each other a lot and i love it.

[hella1975]

heyyy hellaa, please tell us your favorite fics of all time, from any fandom, because i wanna know what makes your brain go vroom !!

WOULD LOVE TO OKAY:

haikyuu:

three sheets to the wind by fairycake - we have sakuatsu we have found family we have pirates we have a surprisingly coherent balance of plot and fun times we have a prank war we have miya twins content we have idiotic background sunaosa we have PIRATES there is literally nothing to dislike here when i read the description of this fic i thought it would just be dumbassery but it wound up being so much more and i got so attached so quickly and the ending was just so heartfelt if i could read this again for the first time i would

burden of blame by deathbelle - OUGH the writing of this one is just. jesus christ. atsumu's characterisation? kiyoomi's characterisation? protective miya twins? the miya twins interactions themselves? if you took away the yakuza angle id be CONVINCED this was all canon bc the author just Gets the characters. maybe my fav sakuatsu fic ever

the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle by kittebasu - iwaoi have entered the chat!!! one thing about me is i LOVE a good recurring metaphor, but a super niche one when you can tell the author knows their shit? respectfully i am drooling. this fic is just so raw and real and it really hit home for me and even to this day when i see it im all !!!!!! a must-read for anyone in the haikyuu fandom

jaywalkers by batman - multi-ship but im gonna say it was more gen for me than anything idk if that's just bc none of my big ships were in there (aside bokuaka <3) or if i just latched onto the gen aspects but yeah u really dont need to ship any of the couples in this to absolutely be blown away by this. like holy fucking shit. this is my last haikyuu rec but it is also my first and quite possibly my favourite fic of all time. if you read anything from this whole list, read jaywalkers. i have never had a fic impact me the way this did and ive never come back to a fic so many times as i have this one bc im very much one of those people that once ive read something i dont get much enjoyment from rereading it no matter how much i like it. but idk something about jaywalkers has me in a complete fucking chokehold and has done since i read it over a year ago. the way this author writes is just so effortlessly human? like it's funny and realistic and messy and in-character and BECAUSE it's got so much dumbassery it really hits you out of nowhere when the deeper shit comes in, but it still works perfectly. ive never seen a writer so perfectly capture humanity before. whenever im struggling to flesh characters out, i return to this work and see all the effortless ways this author does that, whether it be through kei's headphones or kuroo's hair or oikawa's chameleon or every tiny tiny detail that is important enough to warrant a mention bc it's what makes these characters real. im just. god. yeah. also the final author's notes actually made me tear up

jujutsu kaisen:

found in translation by hiraethia - kai kai kai kai. GOD all of kai's fics absolutely gut me but this one just really stuck with me. kai's got such a specific writing style where she just makes really poignant and beautiful metaphors flow very easily, so it's never jarringly deep until you actually take a second to think about what you just read and you're like what the fuck and then it very much IS that deep, and that means kai gets a perfect balance of fluff and fun as well as just heart-wrenching tear your hair out kind of angst, which ofc works perfectly for satosugu

two drifters, off to see the world by quietkids - you have to have a pretty strong stomach when it comes to angst if you're gonna ship satosugu and id say i qualify for that and i also very very very rarely cry over fics, but my god something about this fic just destroyed me. im too scared to read it again. i cannot even comprehend how devastated i was upon finishing this like it wasn't even the gross loud sobbing kind of devastated it was just this awful ache that followed me around for DAYS and that takes so so so much talent any and all kudos go to this author. the thing about college-era satosugu fics that anhialates me so much is the helplessness of it. it's all so tragic and 'there is no other version of this story'. you watch them try so hard to make it work and every time without fail you know it all goes wrong anyway, the love was there but it wasn't enough. and somehow this author just grabbed that sentiment and put it into words and i just. OW

at the end of the world by freckledgeto - hi two of the bestest jjk writers are my mutuals and im bragging about it. alia wrote the itafushi (+first year trio friendship) roadtrip au specifically to hurt me im sure of it. not to get into the incredible writing parallels of jjk, but just like their predecessors, itafushi is all about that helplessness, the knowledge of how this is going to end and still trying to fight it, but while satosugu is usually very deep and dark and heavy, itafushi are the younger, fresher version, and alia writes to accommodate that so seamlessly. it's fun and silly and they're so clearly KIDS in it, and it makes it all the more heartbreaking when it stops being so fun and silly. specifically itadori's character is done beautifully in this fic, but also megumi's characterisation gave me an entire new angle on him that id never had before. the whole thing makes me want to punch a wall

atla:

where the stars do not take sides by witchofendor - honestly any fic by this author is always so well-thought out like the worldbuilding is always INCREDIBLE, but i just lovedddd this fire siblings in this and just the whole concept of it. this is my canon. i actually really want to reread this fic when i get a chance

blue by blacklipscurse - this will always always be THE zukka fic in my opinion like just JKSHGKJSHDGJH i miss when this was updating. the zuko characterisation in this is beautiful zuko and iroh's relationship is beautiful but also one thing that really stuck with me from this fic is the fire nation girls' characterisation? like ive NEVER seen a fic get azula like this but also TY LEE really stuck out to me. like she WOULD be so terrifying with her cheerfulness while she literally attacked you and this is the first time i actually felt that

feels like we only go backwards by oldpotatoe - RUBY WE MISS YOU <3 the writing of this fic is absolutely exceptional like there's a reason this fic gets so much hype. the angst? the romance? the slowburn? the falling in love twice over? the sokka and katara moments? give it to me straight into my veins pls

ozymandias king of kings by think_of_a_wonderful_thought - the first zukka fic i ever read and it's really stuck with me. ive said before but this fic really inspired me and is the reason a lot of taob is the way that it is. i LOVE zuko's characterisation in this bc he's different to canon but in a way that makes perfect sense with the divergence we're given. i also really liked hakoda in this? like not that he was being mean to zuko but just that the author wasnt scared to make him a good leader in a REALISTIC way, aka very cynical towards a fire nation prince. you'd think it would be obvious but people get very aggy when you're mean to zuko lol

salvage by muffinlance - obligatory mention <3 beloved fic <3 what to say about salvage that hasn't been said before. it's just an absolute staple of the atla fandom and CREATED its own trope that i very much capitalised off. i just think the whole concept is so so brilliant and it's such a heartfelt fic. it'll always have a very special place in my heart
