You've heard of test muses before but why not check out a test blog. I want to try doing an anime multi because I've been in a slightly more anime mood, if the blog doesn't work out i'll just move the muses over here.

I HAVE RETURNED MOTHER FUCKERS
hey there;) I have decided to come back to tumblr and hopefully start writing stuff again buttttt things will be different this time around... I will no longer be taking requests think of it more as suggestions. whats the difference you may be wondering? well, a request is a person asking for a specific fic and expecting me to write it for whereas a suggestion isn’t you asking me to write you something, it’s you suggesting an idea you have that you think I could write well or whatever. I found that requests screwed up my motivation for posting/writing and made me feel that I had to write them when in fact, I did not which is why i’m switching to suggestions.  of course I still probably will write them but I won’t feel the need to follow it exact or write it in general! Another thing that will be changing is that this won’t only be a fairy tail blog anymore. I am a person who goes through hyperfixations veryyyy fast which is why occasionally I would disappear from this blog for either a few days for weeks. I also want to write more than just fairy tail stuff, I do have a haikyuu blog but with having a separate blogs it makes me feel that I have to be consistently active in writing for both fairy tail and haikyuu which I hate. I want to have one blog where I post what I want and when I want and not feel the need to separate it. Of course I’ll still be posting fairy tail shit and majority of this blog probably will still be fairy tail but i’ll involve in other animes I like and will be posting about them! I’ll probably be changing a few of my rules, I haven’t decided what so keep an eye out for that. won’t be very big changes though just a few updates.  I have also decided to write and post fics for my ocs:) I have many and love them all and want to make stuff with them. I also find that writing them into fanfictions and stuff can help develop them too.  A few little things now, I’ll be changing around my theme/layout and will be separating my old masterlist from the new stuff I’ll probably be writing. Some of those fics I love but there are quite a few that I hate:p  My username will probably be changed too, no idea what I was either debating on taking my tiktok username or my haikyu blog, @/sartetsu cause I do really like it. This is also because when I made this blog I was in love with Gray LMFAO and now not so much oops. 
I think this is it??? if not I’ll add to it later but yeah! I know most of you who follow me are probably inactive or quite literally never interact with anything I do which was another reason I stopped posting cause I felt like I was talking to a wall or one person. If you unfollow me thats fine but hey if you stick around you’re a peach!  okay....BYE!

Lolita 52 challenge: 3. What my own Lolita lifestyle is like, plus blog update
Quick update: Sorry about not posting this week, or really much lately. I actually had an excuse this week since I wasn't feeling too great. As for clay crafts, I kind of burnt myself out while trying to make a money box while still not very experienced. I have a necklace design I want to make before fall is up though, so at least the beads for it should be a lot more fun. I've currently only made the lid of the box and I didn't even glue the parts into the right place.... I can fix it, I can fix it... I can fix it.
Tumblr media
Okay, so onto the 52 challenge: I wouldn't really know where to really start with this. I went around and read some other people's post on this to get ideas. I can't really speak for decor. I know how I want my room, a themeing mixture of Princess Peach, The Mushroom Kingdom, and Blue Bird Polly Pocket. Though I can't really do this yet. So that's off the table, I will share my polly collection here though. I don't really have a whole lot of the old Blue Bird play sets. I mostly have old matel ones, which are less cute but I still like them. Every time I got into a thrift store I actively look for Polly Pocket stuff. While Polly Pocket and Princess Peach aren't directly Lolita, my goal for how I want my room to be could definitely fit here. There is also a Monster High doll in view and a Burger King box I cleaned out and decided to keep because I thought it was cute. Is it trashy? I mean it's literally trash, but the other option is to toss it, why make something thats meant to be discarded cute? Seems like a waste.
Tumblr media
For hobbies: I like to work with clay, even if I did need a bit of break from it. I'm new to working with polymer but you can do a lot more with it than air dry so I'm happy I finally moved onto it. I used to do embroidery, which I plan to take back up, a long with sewing. I just need to get all the supplies together. Which addmittly, issues getting thing together is one of the reasons I had to quit in the first place. I also like to hand sew, I need to take up using the sewing machine, I know. I have plans for it, I'm just kind of afraid of it. Anyone else feel that?
Other than that, I enjoy video games. This isn't usually a hobby one would think of as lolita, but I feel like video games are what largely inspires me. Some of my favorite series being Sonic the Hedgehog, Castlevania, Fire Emblem (sadly have only played three games of this though, not counting the mobile game, which feels very different than the actual games), and The Sims, where I make me, my friends and characters I like. Though when I was little I would just make a murder house. Didn't everyone? Though I also like the The Elder Scrolls, Rune Factory, Mario, and Harvest Moon, just less so.
On a more lolita note I used to enjoy singing. I really do enjoy it, I just kind of eventually realized that I mostly liked it because other people would praise my singing. In reality, I enjoy making stuff a lot more. Also, I sometimes can get jaw pain, which makes it a little harder and less relaxing than sitting down and making a necklace or something.

Taking pigtures of Sweet Pea, the most photogenic creature you'll ever meet.
Oh, I also love to drink tea, but from coffee mugs, because finding tea sets is kind of hard.

Storm you will not believe this. Kind of old but I was waiting for help to translate this to English. Hopefully the following story will make you laugh in pure disbelief and not make you too angry. So I’m trying to make army friends in my country (non-English speaking) so I joined a group chat to get to know some new people. It’s going well, and we tend to talk about topics once bangtan bombs or vlives go up etc. So around the time BTS on corden dropped, there’s a pic of Corden carrying JM where JM’s lower half looks wowww. I bring this up in passing amongst a slew of compliments to the other members too, add a lil peach emoji, but nothing too much- pretty much standard praise for our chat. One of the members of the chat replies to my JM message ‘Hmm I don’t see it. Tae has the nicest ass in the group let’s be real’ . At this point I’m confused and affronted cause - 1. Blasphemy and RUDE 2. Even If that’s your opinion I didn’t ask!! and 3.There’s certain features that members get particular praises for, otherwise army (and the members!) wouldn’t have coined phrases like namtiddies, CGV, worldwide shoulders etc. So while, absolutely Tae has a lovely booty, let’s not act like that diminishes that there is a whole fandom dedicated to jibooty alone, including Mr. you-have-to-touch-his-thighs himself (war of hormone Tae, I’m also looking at you!!!). So I’m looking at this message and this message is looking at me, and for the life of me I don’t know how to reply nicely. Thankfully someone changes the topic of conversation and the other members promptly follow suit. One of the ppl in the chat private messages me and apologises for what happened and says that it happens ALL THE TIME and that the girl is a tkkr, as if that explains anything?!?! I ask them for more clarity and they explain ‘She doesn’t like it when people praise jimin’s booty so she tries to convince others that tae’s is better, cause tkk are together and jk as the type of guy that he is must like the guy with the better figure’. So I’m looking at this message and this message is looking at me, and so I leave my phone, wash my eyes and come back to the same message, which is still looking at me. I have lost all brain cells, my desire to live and my faith in humanity. Ladies, nb’s and gentlemen, jimin is not allowed to have an objectively nice booty because of tkk. Apparently this is something some tkkrs have gotten into trouble for before. Storm, I must estimate that I have lost 7 years of my life because of this. The connotations of this scream homophobia, fetishisation, sexism and sex negativity to name a few, holy hell. Do you know when something is so dumb you just have to laugh or you’ll lose your mind? This is a 21+ group, someone over the age of 21 thinks like this!!! Needless to say, I did leave this gc, since they allowed this behaviour to go unchecked long enough for their to be history of altercations. Extra tidbits - 1. This only applied to jimin and not the other members (no shit sherlock) though yoonbooty and tiny waist jk have been brought up and praised before (as they should, kings!) 2. Same applied whenever anyone brought up jm’s lips too, but not Jin who is co-member of the bratz line (hmmm I wonder why). I knew that some tkkrs were bad, but the fact that someone would be so pressed that they can’t even let jibooty be, has really taken me to a place of disgust I doubt I can ever recover from…Anyways who needs army friends when I have BTS and your blog, am I right!!! What are some of your fav jibooty and bratz jm moments? Mine are the aforementioned James corden pants or let me keep you warm by slapping the jibooty and lip makeup for the blood sweat and tears m/v and stages.
Well.... thats... alot.... lmao I'm glad you left that GC. I don't care whose ass you prefer lmao to do so only because of a ship is weird as heck and clearly its for the reasons of being a petty bxtch only then. But regardless. Anon. If my husband questions as to why I have a bunch of ass photos on my phone now, imma send him your way. Thank you! Lol I'm going to throw in a lot of members appreciating the jibooty gifs though too
Thanks for showing off Jimin...

Show us the rest of your king boo head canon
Aklfd what would you like to know? I have couple years worth of headcanons on my old King Boo ask blog, but I suppose I can give a summery!
So King Boo is still very much a villain, but I like to think he has legit motives for way he does what he does. His first canonical appearance was in Luigi's Mansion 1, the real actual story here is he’s pissed off that E.Gadd kidnapped a bunch of ghosts and just kept them frozen forever in paintings. Who, besides some exceptions, don’t seem to want to hurt Luigi as you’re going through the mansion, unless you attack them first. Seems like a lot of these ghosts just wanted to enjoy their afterlife in peace, and forcing them into a painting as a messed up kind of trophy is just cruel for cruelty sake.
Boolossus going missing was what led King Boo to discover the captured ghosts, which were 15 of his own boos. For my version of King Boo I made Boolossus be his kids to hammer the pain of their loss in harder, but even without that headcanon, thats 15 of your subjects kidnapped for no reason.
King Boo in retaliation, kidnaps Mario. We’re not given a direct reason for why it had to be Mario in particular, but I like to think that it’s because Mario was the hero of the kingdom, so King Boo wanted to hurt everyone else as much as he felt hurt by kidnapping their beloved hero. In LM1, there’s a line from King Boo himself where he mentions Mario had crossed paths before, I’m going to assume that these where the times that Mario had levels that ran through haunted locations from previous games. The ghosts in the mushroom kingdom might like to prank and scare, but ultimately they don’t really want to hurt people. They only really attack Mario because he was the one to barge into their homes unannounced and wreck the place.
This goes into my headcanon that King Boo just really wants safe places for ghosts but the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom don’t like them around because they’re scary. This leads into Luigi’s Mansion 2 where there’s several haunted places to explore. I think that King Boo destroyed the Dark Moon because the ghosts were basically being brain washed to ‘’behave’’ and be good. The Dark Moon changing their behavior while ghosts are in its presence implies that this isn’t their natural state to be in. They only get angry and attack E.Gadd again because E. Gadd is the one benefiting from them being forced to be docile. And also it’s E. Gadd, he’s done some nasty things in the name of science to ghosts. So of course King Boo blew the Dark Moon up. Though I do think his defeat in the first game did make him mentally slip a bit more in this game which is how he ends up nearly destroying the universe near the end of the game.
Luigi’s Mansion 3′s plot is mainly just trying to get rid of Luigi and why not Mario and Peach too since Peach did have a changed haunted mansion in her castle in Super Mario 64 for some reason, so shes complicit in ghosts being controlled. Not much to go into here other then it’s another attempt to give a nice place for ghosts to stay as well as being a trap.
Other headcanon I have is that there’s at least 3 different King Boos that exist in the Mushroom Kingdom. The main one is the Luigi’s Mansion one, he’s the most powerful of all the boos and hates the living beings who won’t leave ghosts alone.
The second (and possibly more) King Boo is the one that appears outside the Luigi’s Mansion games, like in paper mario or in the kart and golf games. He’s strong but less powerful then the previous one, having less magic ability. He’s also on friendly terms with the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom since he’s so willing to go to the tournaments and play games. He becomes the active King in the absence of the LM King (such as when he’s trapped in a painting.
The 3rd King Boo is the Super Mario Sunshine one in Hotel Delfino. Headcanon is he is not a real boo at all, he’s just a blob of paint made to vaguely look like King Boo made by Bowser Junior. Only appears in the one game because he doesn’t have any beef with mario and friends at all. He just fought that one time because Bowser Jr made him.
Last headcanon I’ll go into is that King Boo’s rivalry with Luigi is meant to be a mirrored flip to Mario’s rivalry with Bowser. While Bowser is all about big offense and brute force in his plans, King Boo often hangs back and has a more strategic approach. Brains over brawn sort of thing. Such as King Boo not showing his involvement with the story until near the end of the game in Dark Moon. I also think King Boo would have a better relationship with his subjects then Bowser does with his. King Boo wants safety and comfort for his Boos while Bowser pushes his minions around and only acts selfishly.
I also love the addition of Helen Gravely to the mix because I fully believe she’s meant to be flip on the Bowser and Peach dynamic. Bowser kidnaps Peach because he’s in love with her but she hates him. Where as Helen is in love with King Boo but he only tolerates her because shes helping him with his plans.
Oof that was a long one. Hope that was interesting!

1, 4 and 14
1 - what is your favourite colour to work with?
I want to say purple/lavender cause its my favourite colour, but I think orange actually is going to have to win this one. Oranges, reds, yellows, browns, peaches, you can even make green with orange if you use it right. I use it alllll the time in everythingg
I dont like "orange" orange as a colour though tbh lmao
4 - how often do you draw?
Every single day, for work. I'm an FX animator, so every day I hand animate fires, waters, dusts, etc for tv shows. Right now Im working on a section thats a bunch of crying scenes, so Im drawing lots of tears.
Personal drawing though, varies. Sometimes I get an inspirational kick and will draw every night for weeks, but sometimes I hit a low and only draw once a week, if at all. I think this happens more often since I spend so much "drawing energy" for work. Its why Ive been so dead on this blog recently 😂
14 - what was something you used to draw a lot of and now dont draw as much?
In high school I had a bunch of OC's that I would draw ALL the time. Sketchbooks FILLED with them. Would draw 1 of them over and over for months until I switched to the next and did the same. Now I'll occasionally do the rare oc drawing here and there but usually just stick to fanart. High school me would be absolutely thrilled to see where I am now with my art, but really disappointed to see how bad I dropped my oc's :/
Thanks for the ask 💕

Instructions: Always repost with the rules, answer the 11 random questions left for you and leave 11 more for the people you tag!
Tagged By: @ravusnightblossom
Tagging: @elastixhearts @thescaledqueen @thelonewendwater @an-mallaithe @ncrthernkxng @call-2-arms @lastxdragon @last-daughter-of-llyr @beautereign @northvow @claudiaindarkness and YOU!
MY QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
1. What to you prefer while writing? Silence? Television? Music? If it’s television or music, what would be playing?
Music mostly, though I do often times have the television on at the same time but most of the time I’m listening to music and a majority of that time it’s a playlist I’ve made of Ramin Djawadi’s music. Or David Bowie
2. What is something specific that you always look for in your writing partners?
Honestly I’m looking for how well their muses are crafted. Like are they well rounded or can I envision everything through their writing. I’m also lookin at their blog like is it just all negative ooc posts and no real writing. Another thing I’m looking at is if they’re interested in really writing and not just smutting, or collecting specific face claims to write smut with and thats it.
3. What is your favourite season of the year and why?
Fall and Winter! I live in Southern California and we have basically 3 days of rain and the rest of the time it’s disgusting summer or everything is on fire.
4. How many blogs do you maintain across Tumblr? Do you roleplay on any other sites?
OH gods! At one time I had like maybe 15 but right now I’m only bouncing between 3 blogs though I’m finding myself more active here than on what I’d considered my main blog.
5. Tell me your favourite food. Least favourite food?
My favorite food is either Salmon Sashimi or Unagi!!! Or cactus and eggs! Omfg prickly pears I could eat those all day! I love pineapples, peaches and lychee too. To be honest I love food lol. My least favorite are these things called chayotes, just the smell of them cooking makes me nauseous and peas... FUCK peas!! Except for sugar snap or snow peas they’re cool.
6. Leave some kind words about one of your mutuals here! Maybe you’ll make someone’s day brighter or help others find a new writing partner!
@elastixhearts listen if you’re not following her or writing with her then you are honestly depriving yourself of some serious damn talent. I mean this girl can write Jules from Pulp Fiction and you can practically HEAR Samuel L. Jackson talkin to you okay?! Plus she’s such a beautiful person inside and out and I love her Sookie Stackhouse too! She’s also been just a light in my life whenever I need a kind word or just someone to talk to.
I mean I feel it’s unfair though to speak about just ONE mutual as I do enjoy all of the ones I talk to like ya’ll have no idea how honored I am to be able to write with you guys and all of your amazing muses.
7. Do you have a favourite ship that you currently write?
probably Shireen x Lysander or Daenerys x Lysander and soon maybe Ravus x Lysander.... I mean all my ships are my favorite or else they wouldn’t be ships right?
8. Is there a character that you deeply wish you had a chance to write with one of your own? If so, who and why?
hmm... not really? I mean most characters that I want to write with are ones that I would probably write myself and given that I’m incredibly vain I wouldn’t write with a character that I’d make a blog for... if that makes sense lol.
9. Pets! Do you have any pets? Bonus points if you send me pictures of them!
YES! I have a cat who thinks he’s a child and must be held when sleeping. And yes I can post a photo of him! This was him when he was running for mayor of my city because tbh no one was on the ballot aside from like two names and neither person were ones I cared for but he did get 4 votes!
Tumblr media
10. What’s your definition of a perfect self care day for yourself?
Probably sleeping in and then turning on the air conditioning till the room is like a nice freezing temp so I can wrap myself in my tortilla blanket like a burrito and eat some okonomiyaki or yakisoba while vegging out on either my fave true crime shows or some paranormal shows while writing.
11. If you could recommend a book or television show to anyone reading this, what would it be?
Omfg don’t ask me this question!! I work in a major bookstore and i have to do this ALL DAY! Lol but probably anything Neil Gaiman! Or maybe the Inkheart trilogy.... as for television show maybe Peewee’s Playhouse because that’s probably the one show from my childhood that I own the entire series on DVD
MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU (tagged people)
1. What makes you drop a thread or lose interest?
2. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
3. Favorite mythological creature or cryptic?
4. What are some tropes in the RP community that you’re tired of or think are over done?
5. How often do you read books?
6. Communication with muns, do you prefer it or do you prefer just to blindly write with never speaking to the person your writing with?
7. Have you ever done anything on say a bucket list or a childhood dream?
8. If you could visit anywhere in the world either past or future where would you go?
9. If you could be best friends with any fictional character in literature who would it be and why?
10. What was the last movie scene that made you cry?
11. Have you ever purposely ignored a thread you weren’t feeling hoping the other mun would move on?

Highlights of 2020
Finally finishing my You x Idol drabble game.
Writing some series ideas that I really thought were going to be hard (Forsaken, To Be Continued, 10 Dates) and being satisfied with how they turned out
Doing some groups series, like Band Sessions and MonX Hospital, and creating an entire world.
Collaborations with my writer friends. I honestly love writing with my friends! 
Writing Sungjin as a cop in To Be Continued. He wasn’t even in the original draft notes for the series but became someone so deeply important to the storyline! I feel like each year, Sungjin’s characters keep coming out on top (last year, it was his story Existence in the Spiritual Connection world that came for my soul)
Destined hitting 2k notes and still being the most popular story and series on my blog.
Tumblr media
Things I wish had gone differently / things I wasn’t happy about
The gaps in my writing schedule - whilst I needed to take those moments, looking back now, I wish I could have remained more consistent.
The lack of variety - in some areas, I did improve but looking back on everything, it was pretty obvious I stuck to like three groups for most of the year. Of course, this isn’t entirely bad as I discovered deeper connections with some of these characters, but it did mean I didn’t get as much variety as I hoped to. 
The endless hate for Forsaken and Bloodstone - two stories that I was really excited to share. I know I need to let it go, but I really don’t get the big fuss around it all. 
Personal pressure - I was so busy trying to improve as a writer over and over that at times I forgot to enjoy the journey as I travelled along it.
Frightful October - that whole thing was so unfortunate and it still breaks me to think of all the discarded plans @this-song-thats-only-for-you​ and I had, only to not give the segment it’s final hurrah as we hoped to. This was the last year we wanted to do it as we were going to try something new for 2021, so it’s really bittersweet knowing how much of a fail October was. 
Tumblr media
2021 Goals
To complete at least ten series
To either write the ideas that have been sitting in my ideas file for sometime, or to let them go... holding onto them for a rainy day so to speak isn’t going to work
Always aiming for variety but also accepting that there are some groups I just naturally have an affinity towards and that’s okay
To try and write more details into my worlds. This way, I’ll be adding more depth and word count - which isn’t a bad thing to be practicing if I wish to attempt writing longer pieces for eventual novel preparation
To collab with some other people than I usually do. I’m not very brave at approaching others but I want to give it a try! (please if you want to collab with me, feel free to message me haha)
I dunno why but it makes most sense to me to put Mayday6 in May, so it’s kind of a goal to make that happen then lol
Figure if I’m going to open another prompt list up for requests or offer sporadic requests - either way, bring in some fresh ideas from my followers at some point
To be uncaring about genres I choose. If I want to write four royal au stories in a row, then so be it (I have a lot of royal and regency au ideas, someone please make me stop dreaming about being a princess or wearing pretty dresses lmfao)
Whilst scheduling to me is important, not pressuring myself to stick to the same format of writing each week/month. I’m not burned out, but I am bored of the same thing time and time again. 
Admittedly, this one is one I can’t not ask of myself - make a pile of writing so I’m ahead again. I like the feeling of having stories to fall back on.. but also allowing newer stories to jump the queue if I’m most excited for them.
Tumblr media
Phew! What a year I’ve had! There’s been some amazing moments not captured in this list, and amazing people who I’m forever grateful for. Thank you for supporting me! 
May 2021 bring some really awesome personal writer growth and fun for this writing blog!!

"the top three of its forty floors are filled with brass telescopes of every size, pointing in every possible direction, including several that do not exist within the normal three dimensions of space." thats SUCH a cool image / "If any harvest will come." ooh i wonder whats going on / "The roofs are of red tile, the stucco of the houses painted in shades of blue. It stands empty, but has not had time to fall into disrepair." the little bits of detail getting added to the picture im LOVE (1/?)
I’m gonna do these all as one post but broken up for ease of reference, I think.
Thank you! 🥰 Deciding the theme for the Tower and giving it that visual anchor really helped to pull things together. If you consider the whole setup, it seems unlikely the Tower was originally built as an observatory, since those tend to benefit from height (especially if you’re looking around you rather than up, but for the up ones also) and the builders could easily have put it on top of a mountain or at least some hills, but instead put it by the river. It’s above sea level, and it’s away from light pollution, but there were better locations. Nearby.
So either it wasn’t an observatory, and it’s been refitted as one, or they had so many observatories they didn’t care about locating them optimally, there was some other factor making having the tower there important even if it was suboptimal in terms of observation capacity. Or, potentially, it’s been moved since it was built!
:} Yay thank for being interested by the foreshadowing. I tried to put just enough in without actively overshadowing the actual place-setting-up and making the reader impatient with the description. 
"If you look through an enchanted telescope you may see trees without needles fail halfway up the nearest of the great peaks, and even these fail before the top, though there is a span of nearly barren stone past that line, before the snow begins." you: mentions different plants living in different climates me: :0 / there's so much good description!! its all so pretty!! (2/?)
sflka;l;jlk i mean yeah, that’s pretty straightforward isn’t it. But! It establishes How Much Mountain it is visually rather than by saying ‘it was a big fucking mountain’ or ‘it was tall enough for the thinness of atmosphere near the top to create a small tundra region.’

<3 Thank you! I kinda cut loose lmao.
"blocks veined with every color, pale blues and purples, reds and greens and golden-duns all mottling toward white and grey and black" god i want to live there so badly!! this tower is meeting all my standards!! cool pretty magic tower with rad telescopes!!! / "make a remark no one present understands about a Doctor named Seuss. His guide, the dousing tracker Amnaphi, will assume this person to be a famous astronomer from his homeland." im love!! misunderstandings about references!! (?/?)
💗💖✨ Yay! That’s an important feeling to create in fantasy, imo. The wanting. 
I really enjoyed playing with the standard forms for ‘thing made of marble’ here, because all these marbles really exist, but in spite of the existence of the word ‘marbled’ our narrative uses of it tend to be tied up with Neoclassical aesthetics. So very white and smooth, yeah?
Also idk if it’s obvious to the reader but this Tower is to some degree in dialogue with Orthanc, which made a great impression on my mind as a child as the iconic wizardly tower, and while I don’t disagree with any of Tolkien’s use of symbolism for the purposes he was deploying it, there’s so much potential in Isengard as a setting that LotR had no space to explore, even if Tolkien would have noticed those angles at all.
Like...the parkland around the Tower is shown being despoiled for the orcish war machine and then reconquered by the forest, but of course it wasn’t forest to begin with. What was it for before Saruman lost his shit? Ordered gardens, for peaceful contemplation? Who dedicated the space that way? Who maintained it? 
Did Saruman employ a gardener? Did he design his own gardens, or did they come with the keep, which we’re informed was built not by him but by the Numenoreans? 
(“I liked white better” is still one of the greatest lines in a fantasy novel, Tolkien does not get enough credit for his contextually hilarious one-liners that rely on pointed code-switching, but Saruman’s evil rainbow oil-slick robes also sounded really baller and it’s kind of a shame they were not attempted for the movie lol.)
The fact that this is a world designed around a kid getting portal-fantasied into it and staying for 30 years really gives me some options which are fun to deploy but also like. Risky lmao. Because it encourages the reader to surface from the setting-logic and apply their own perspective, which can really break up the magic.
Being able to zoom out on the Tower after all that detail and be like ‘it’s awesome but also it looks like something Doctor Seuss would draw’ was fun though.
"Within the even hexagon of its outer wall, the Tower encloses a great parkland, enough that if it was all put under cultivation it could easily feed as many people as could live in the Tower itself." the tower has PLANTS i love it so much / "Ten Years’ Winter" god PLEASE tell me this is going to get into the agriculture and society stuff game of thrones didn't about long winters that would be SO cool / "Watchers of the Stars" AND they have a cool name holy shit (?/?)
Plants are important! As is food supply. As everyone who’s been reading this blog for a while already knows I think lol.
I mean, it’s not about that, really? The Ten Years’ Winter is a historical event--the most recent meteor impact severe enough to have global climate fallout. The dust it kicked up took a while to settle, and the famines were pretty severe.
But the cultural consequences of something that happened a hundred and fifty years ago exist, and are important, including the relationship between governance and disaster preparedness, which varies a lot regionally as you may imagine. 
Astronomy has a long history as a wizardly sort of activity in the real world, both because it’s had continual overlap with astrology and just because the process has always been mystical and abstruse. In this setting, with a history of both devastating meteor impacts and being invaded from the Moon, but also actual magic, it’s got more obvious practical importance. Although since neither of these are remotely everyday occurrences, the average person on the street might not agree lol.
So it’s on the one hand a purely descriptive title, and on the other hand a serious boast, suggesting as it does that they are primarily responsible for Watching The Sky For Stuff. While also having broader philosophical implications and just sounding nice lol. 
You gotta have good marketing if you want to persist as a wizardly order, because if talented students aren’t motivated to come to you how will you gain new members? Natural replacement is not an ideal strategy to say the least. That’s how you turn into a cult instead of an intellectual powerhouse.
"The northern third of the Tower’s park contains neatly regimented orchards, apples, pears, plums, and a few rows of carefully tended peaches and apricots, all clipped flat against low brick walls angled south and slightly west." hhh t r e e s / "wizards, while enthusiastic about innovation in the abstract, hate change." me too, wizards. me too / "The Tower grounds are filled with refugees." ooh now we get to why everything was empty earlier (?/?)
Trees! Which are also food!
And technology lol. Greenhouses built against fruit walls with good insulation are so much more sensible than ones heated from inside. Obviously as a passive solar-powered technology these only work when the sun is available and not, for example, cut off by a giant dust cloud. 
These people are fairly acutely aware of their dependence on the sun and it figures prominently in a majority of their religions and their magical theory, even more than in ours.
There seems to be a mild consensus that the wizards are relatable. In truth: we are all wizards. :D
Yup! At long last lol.
"This division corresponds imperfectly to the usual split of the town by the course of the Meroda." because people!! take comfort!! in what normalcy they can find!! / "Makeshift pallets line the spaces between every fruit wall—the injured are being laid out here, now that the Tower is full, to get the benefit at night of the warmth meant to mature fruit." the awesome magic tower people trying to do everything they can for the injured who come to them for help in case i thought i couldn't be (?)
more in love / "Half of them are making ready to turn south along the Meroda." oh nooooo / "but the Moon People are the successors of the ancient magics, and just because they could not break the walls the last time they came, according to legend, does not mean they have not worked out a method now." im so worried for the people oh no (?)
Yeah! It really seemed natural. But of course they also aren’t recreating it obsessively; lots of people are grouping up with relatives who normally live across the river, or with people in the same line of work on the river, because people also adapt to circumstances.
No institution is ever perfect, of course, but I’m glad the Watchers have come across this way so far. They’re broadly well-intentioned and mostly well-organized.
And they were not ready for this.
A significant fraction of the reason for the order of the Watchers to exist at all, particularly in this observatory with its great eye fixed ever on the face of the green moon, is to be able to warn the world if this ever happens again. But the Moon People knew they were being watched, this time, and they kept all the build-up to mobilization that might have given them away on the far side of the moon until the last minute.
What the Magister is doing, as I hope was made clear or at least successfully indicated--I wish your commentary on the ending had come through!--is summoning what turns out to be an actual child from another world to do hero stuff.
Even if he’d gotten an adult that would be kidnapping someone to help with your problems, a routine element of the portal fantasy whose ethics have been addressed in a variety of ways, most famously ‘is Lion Jesus and always right.’ 
The reason they need a hero from another world is that the Moon People build a lot of their wards and their offensive and disabling magical attacks around a targeting system based on what planet people are from, because even though they’re originally from the same stock--they’re the descendants of ancient moon colonists who evacuated ahead of a major meteor impact somewhere approaching four thousand years ago--on a magical level having been born and raised on the planet or the moon makes a pretty huge difference. 
So no one can get into the place their magic space elevator is anchored and fuck it up so they can’t keep bringing troops and supply in and loot out. Their single supply line is their only strategic weakness, and they’ve taken appropriate precautions.
Getting someone in from a third location is the best idea anyone’s been able to come up with in the very limited time available. Since no one can figure out how to turn one of the Moon People against the cause they came here for, on short notice, when they aren’t even stopping to talk to anyone so far. Like, that’s clearly not going to happen.
Heron Yl Fanult isn’t unaware that it’s ethically questionable, but he’s doing it anyway.
So I’m glad the ominous imminent oncoming of the Moon People can really be felt, because that atmosphere is fairly essential context for the decisionmaking going on at the top of the Tower.
"Young wizards sit in their bunks, six each to rooms that were previously individual, and hold lighting cupped dancing in their palms." a quick break from being worried to point out that this is rad as hell / "some with their heads decorously covered..." cultural differences!! especially with regional purposes like the Hedro!! 
Thank you! 😆💖 I thought so too lol. 
It also establishes the parameters of the magic system a little more. Throwing lightning bolts is pretty iconicly high-powered, right? And here it’s what most of the student wizards are practicing in anticipation of a battle, because most of them aren’t specced into combat and this is actually one of the easier lethal spells to master, especially if you have an academic background.
‘Electrocute’ isn’t a very flexible spell and it’s easy to lose control of, but it’s actually easier than, say, ‘set on fire to a significant degree in a non-electrical manner’ because concentrating a lot of heat in a certain location takes a lot more brute force than encouraging ionization. 
You can pull most of the actual destructive force for the palm lightning spell out of the physical air and/or earth if you grasp the principles, which is much easier than channeling a comparable amount of magic directly because it doesn’t have to go through you. 
The limiting factors on magic in this setting are how much power you can tap into and how much of it you can actually use without hurting or killing yourself. It’s not usually a lot, though the amount can be increased by things like choosing your workspace, prepping your workspace, and a whole lot of practice and meditation and things like that.
Magical traditions that get bundled under the heading of wizardry tend to focus on force multiplication, obtaining enough contextual understanding of a subject to make whatever power is applied go further. This means a lot of studying theory and using magic to make observations (such as the existence of microorganisms and their connection to disease) and often results in making clever devices based on what you’ve learned that may not actually wind up being magical at all. 
Which is why the solar greenhouse proposal is considered ‘more wizardly’ than the fruit walls, which are wizardly in the first place even though the technology is pretty widespread at this point--it’s carried the principle of minimizing the energy you have to invest to get the result you want to the logical conclusion, where you don’t have to do any magic at all, you just set up the situation and get out of the way and the sun will do the work for you.
Other schools of magic, particularly religious ones, are more likely to emphasize just getting better at handling energy for yourself, which tends to yield a lot more in the way of immediate practical dividends and in a lot of quarters wizards who don’t do something obviously practical like physic or smithcraft with their theoretical background are considered crackpots or dilettantes 
An impression helped along by the fact that being taken on as a student of wizardry at a basic level tends to focus more on your reading comprehension than your ability to actually do any magic, so in places where religious and wizardly institutions coexist the most talented students have a tendency to gravitate toward the religious life. This is particularly marked in areas religiously dominated by the Compact of the Golden Circle, wherein full ordination is contingent on being able to pull off certain fairly hefty rituals, so if you aren’t physically or mentally up to that kind of magical heavy lifting your religious career will stall out in one of the lay fraternities. In some of the cities on Sutouchel, the landmass to the southeast where the Compact is based, a slang term for wizard is ‘sanctum washout.’
But of course force multiplication is something that can scale up pretty far, and studying theory doesn’t stop you from also putting work into your practical skills, and not having talent isn’t the only reason someone would choose not to seek out a clerical career, if it’s even an option. Religion along the Meroda is pretty localized; communities tend to have local deities who correspond to a natural feature like the nearest mountain or the river or something, and if that deity rates a fulltime shrine the keeper also tends to be the major local medical provider, and since the wizards got settled in at the Tower it’s become pretty popular for shrinekeeping families to send their kids there for a year or two to get some educational polish in addition to what their parent already emphasized.
So depending on where you live and what your personal experience has been you’re going to have very different ideas about what wizards are good for.
Hrm. I’ve gone on a tangent. But that wound up taking so long you came back! :D I love it when being turtle works out in my favor.
Or was this actually the meta I was supposed to be doing in the first place? Aaaaa who knows.
im fairly confident you said eight asks survived so this is number nine? anyways onwards! "The hale survivors of the First Battle of the Second Descent sit waiting in their leathers, jack-chains and helmets laughably inadequate armor against the coming danger, and yet the best hope now just as they were on Carun Tol once the wizard fell" i have a lot of emotions about how their best bet is also a terrible bet but its all they have (9/?)
Yes 8. 
Woo, thank you! ^^ & I love that you described it that way because that also describes the ‘summon alien’ spell Yl Fanult is casting and echoing the same emotional theme throughout the scene was very much the goal here.
"Threads have escaped from the braids pinned across the top of her skull: she has not had the chance to take them down for two days." god just the continuation of how desperate everything is / "He leans forward to peer through the narrow glass that has been turned on its articulated base to face the middle of the room, and relaxes very slightly. At least there has been no catastrophic alteration there, either." what does that one do id assume theres no approching army in the middle of the room -
:D Yeah, the fact that one of the chief medics available is already overworked to the point of neglecting nonessential personal hygiene and the enemy isn’t even here yet I hoped would resonate.
Well, remember how some of the telescopes at the beginning point in directions not included in the normal three dimensions of space? :}
- "trained as it long has been upon the face of the moon" also forgot to mention their enemies being from the moon is Rad As Hell / "He snaps his fingers for a spark that falls into the deep circular groove full of distilled spirits, and steps through that as well. He is not burned." ooooh whats he doing / "At his feet lie a glittering piece of gold ore, a moonstone, and a carefully sanded round of pumice." i see the connection to the moonstone bc moon army but i wonder about the others -
Thank you! It took a fair amount of poking before I decided it was a solid approach; it provides just enough physical alienation that there’s no direct cultural relationship and you can have that ‘everyone in the entire world Disliked That’ vibe, without needing to create any complicated magical and cultural explanation for such a long run of isolationism. They were out of contact because they were On The Moon.
Also I really get a kick out of putting space invaders in a fantasy setting in a way that stops just short of turning into sci-fi.
I’m glad the ritual lead-up is exciting! Even if the foreshadowing wasn’t as obvious as I thought it was lol. That’s fixable. 
Gold is for the sun, moonstone is yeah for the moon lol (although in other circumstances people also use jade, because it’s been a long time since the moon was uniformly silver on account of it having been terraformed a few thousand years ago) and pumice is for the world--it’s a stone full of air that floats on water, so it’s popular as an anchoring device for rituals that call on all three local celestial bodies.
"He cannot take much time. He has only until the ring of fire dies." whats he doingggggg / anyways i love this so much!! the descriptions are gorgeous and im so invested in all of everything!! i hope you write more im so curious about it all!! 
XD Ok I covered this already, I would have saved it for down here or Been Mysterious if tumblr hadn’t eaten the last few asks the first time lol. Thank you so much again! For encouragement! Before and now! I’ll try! To keep it going!
Here’s hoping this successfully posts, tumblr just kicked me onto New Dashboard again and disabled the turn-it-off button, so now my alternate posting strategy is borked up too. 🤞😅😘

Neon Pink
Tumblr media
Anon asked: Would you do a scenario with Jaehyun based on song by The Weeknd - High for This? Your blog is AWEsome
A/N: Hello Honeys~ I’m back and I’m so sorry to the anon that requested this long time ago, I feel the need to explain myself with you, I’ve been sick since before Chirstmas and for that sometimes I need to take long breaks from social media (I suffer form depression and anxiety so thats why) but I don’t like to feel like that so I’m back hshshs I hope you enjoy this and please reblog if you like it.
Word count: I don’t know, someone please tell me.
Warning: Mentions of drugs and alcohol |  Making out |  PG17+
The neon pink shadowing the lips around the base of a cigarrette of your brother’s best friend, was highlighted by the effect of the small sheet of LSD you swallow earlier that night, maybe... maybe it was the makeout session the two of you hold before in his room, either ways his lips were neon pink.
You clearly remember the words your brother spat one hour earlier before arriving the party his frat was helding “You’re not going to be alone, I’m not going to get missed in the middle of the party, I pinky promise that” of course when Ten, the teacher assistan he was trying to lay on hid bed, appeared in the party this shitty twin brother of you got lost at the speed of the light, but of course he sticked to his words, Jaehyun, his best friend, was there with you and contrary to your silly brother believings, he was there with pure willing.
You met Jaehyun on 3rd grade of elementary school, a cute boy with pink lips and cute cheeks eating a lollipop on the playground inside the school, you grow up together, he looked at you as “a brother” until one autumn night in high school when your brother went out and you were in the shower, the always uncalled friend Jung Jaehyun went into the house with his silent presence and his silent ways to open the door to the shower, “Cover your self!” “But I’m showering!! GET OUT!” yes that memory of Jaehyun flustered was awesome, and after that everything did a 180°flip, the constant tension and flirting between the two of you went unnoticed by your brother.
“This is boring...” He said close to your ears, lips caressing your skin, “Where’s your brother?” he asked you.
“You think I know where is he?” you said trying to hide the pink that covered your face “Do you have something better than here Mr boring pants?” you turned to face him, pink lips gracing yours.
An strong grab around your wrist and an amused smirk on Jaehyuns face, “I nearly forgot, let’s go” messy hallways and noisy rooms, dark places with strangers making out, one of those was your brother sitting on the lap of an small thai man, deciding to storage it on the backons of your mind for future blackmail.
A sudden silence and refreshing breeze and again soon after a warm view of a familiar room, “Well you brought me to the second most boring place on earth now what”
“So funny, the oher day your brother asked me to get him something, because apparently he’s not aware of his younger sibling hobbies...”
“I wouldn’t call making out with Taeyong in the library a hobbie but that’s up to you Mr. Boring pants.”, whenever the name Taeyong went out from your mouth, Jaehyun’s jealousy was obvious, he was aware that even if you two werent dating th fact that you, decided to make out and other businesses as you liked to call them went between you and the player of Lee Taeyong, made his blood boil and his possesive nature to flow as well.
“I’m going to ignore that name for tonight” he said sitting right in front of you, “I still don’t know why you prefer that guy when I’m right here” he said placing the small squares of LSD your brother wanted to try, for you that wasn’t a new expirience, you always were the Rebel family member, the one with bad grades, and Jaehyun was the same as you, probably because he spent too much time flirting with you, “erase that smug smile of your face princess” his slender long fingers took you from the back of your head, the small sheet on his tongue calling for you to take it from his, his lips pressing soon after you let him start a kiss.
if there was something you really loved from Jaehyun’s face that was his lips, ´plump pink lips, soft lips that felt like feathers playing on yours giving them small tickles and a heavenly feeling, the felt like silk, smoothingly tracing patterns against yours.
You drove your hands to his hoodie, lifting it a bit to let your hands start tracing patterns against his stomach, he wraped his arms around your waist, pulling you to sit on his lap.
His lips leave a velvety feeling along every space of your body they touched, your blouse leaving your body after some minutes along his hoodie, his body was warm, his hands started feeling a bit too cloudy, a cloud like touch and his lips too smooth and silky, sloppy kisses and silly touches started to be made after some minutes.
“You look like an angel” he said with a lazy voice, a shy smile, or probably just a lazy one, left your mouth, your lips kissed his face, his cheeks, his forehead, “your so soft, why are you naked Jae?” if you didnt knew any better, you could swear you were just sleepy, but if Jaehyun was so pink under your sight it probably was the effect of the LSD from a minute, was it a minute? whatever, it made his effect.
“Let’s go back to the party, your brother hopefully is done with whtever shit he was into” putting on his hoodie and him wearing another one, the two of you leave the room, making your way to the party, the way to the fraternity building was full of stop and make out, you weren’t so sure the marks on your skin were hickeys or not, his messy hair and your interwined fingers, felt safe enough to let him embrace you in a drunk aroma of peach bubblegum.
“Jaehyun!” the voice of your brother sound too far even when he was in front of you and Jae, “where have the of you been? It’s been three hours” he stopd and looked at the two, smile and then sighed “Well, I guess it’s time to go, I’ll go bring the car, wait here for me.” your brothers made his way out of the building.
“I want to dance with you” Jaehyun said silently and close to your ear “MAy I dance with you?” He asked, wrapping his arms around your waist and holding your hand, he started dancing a vals, that probably wasnt being played but the two of you were curiously imagining playing at the back, the dance started and you made your way to the middle of the dancefloor, his eyes never leaving your face, framed by a neon green light, yours never leaving the neon pink that showerd his figure in front of you, another kiss and so many touches, anxiously searching for a more private place inside the party.
What you could describe like a couch soon was your new bed, the two of you started another slow making out session.
“I guess they’re staying here for another minute” Your brother sighed, meanwhile giggles and lazy touches were being exchange between you and Jaehyun.
“I can’t, not now, we need to wait” the nodding he gave you and his lazy kisses stopped after some minutes, “I want to remember this, I want this to feel real and not just it to happen”
The neon pink shadowing the lips around the base of a cigarrette of your brother’s best friend, was highlighted by the effect of the small sheet of LSD you swallow earlier that night, maybe... maybe it was the makeout session the two of you hold before in his room, either ways his lips were neon pink.
“Hey, please date me” Jaehyun asked in the childiest way you never imagine, “I thought you asked me earlier, but yes I’ll date you” you answered.

[LATE TV SERIES RESPONSE]
Okay i know i'm late about a month since the international release which was on 28 December 2018. Yes, I am talking about a netflix series: YOU. Goshhhh. Overall, I really like the series.
It was adopted from a 2014 novel by Caroline Kepnes with the same title, YOU. Watching this series felt like you are watching a novel. The characters were brought into real life (read: movie). And first of all, i like Penn Badgley's voice so much when he's doing the narration in the scenes. Like his voice makes me can't hate him. Duhh.
The guy Penn Badgley potrayed was Joe Goldberg. The writer was totally ruining most women fantasy about ideal guy. Joe Goldberg was a freaking dream guy. The man who is always there when his lady needs him, the man who tries so hard to make his girl happy, the man who takes care of his woman well, the man who protects his one and only princess, etc etc the list goes on. BUTTTTTTTT, yeahhh that kind of man only exist in korean drama i guess. Thats why most women are crazy over korean drama storyline because the writer create that kinda perfect man i mentioned above. The guy that Kepnes created was different. She broke women fantasy about it, despite the perfection of the character [Joe], apparently, he has so many flaws. Kepnes was kinda saying to the readers/viewers "okay girls, despite the guy you think is perfect, there is probably something he hides".
About a few weeks ago, stranger things main cast, Millie Bobby Brown was getting backlash because she defended the character of Joe by saying "[Joe] is not creepy, he's in love with her and it's OK". Poor her she is just 14, still so many things to see and learn. She just watched for two episodes back then and still had no idea what things that she would see on the upcoming episodes.
Me and my friends are kinda understand why millie said it. At first, the way the author and director created the character of Joe, he was not like the typical a sicko that we usually saw on a movie which was have a flat expression, heartless, and very cruel. Joe was different, he has emotion, he has a soft and sweet spot, he cares, he's super smart, he's a good talker, he's a very lonely person who wants to be loved. I can say i have this love-hate relationship with his character. But the way how he sees love is misguided. The character he had was built because the hard life he had been through. Poor Joe :( He has a very pitiful life, meeting the wrong people, and has an unhealthy obsession. Btw Millie finally understood after finishing the series that Joe is totally a stalker. And yes, Joe is creepy, what he did is not okay, IT'S WRONGGGG!
On the other hand, I don't like the lead female’s character (read: Guinevere Beck). Huh Joe, you totally fell for the wrong person! Beck is a bij!! Out of topic, the lady who potrayed Peach Salinger is hot af!!
While watching the series, there was this feelings that i feel like want to shut all of my social media down. It's kind of creeping me out knowing if there are people who stalk me in an unhealthy way. I don't share all of my activities on social media, but still i have my photos on instagram, my rant on twitter, and even writing some experience on my blog, like-what-iam-doing-now, lol. But nowadays most people stalk through social media, so do i!! Eventhough, I mostly stalk the celebrities or public figure i like. I just want to know about their activities because they are kind of my escapism from reality. It’s kinda heal me to know about them. But not all of people have the same thinking, so many dangerous people out there. Social media can be a fun place to surf in and also can be a dangerous place to be on. The lesson we get is we have to be more careful on social media especially when putting our private information. So many cyber crime nowadays using people's private information. Or perhaps if people can't deal with the risk of being active on social media, they can delete their life forever from social media. I myself will think about it though!
Anyway see you on Season 2 Joe Goldberg!.... and Candace?

My boyfriend loves JoJo’s so I’m giving it a shot. Let’s go:

Well that’s a creepy mask!

ArchaicArcade-Yesterday at 11:31 PM
I just, he's literally dying rn, please try to understandAnd please stay safe
void-Yesterday at 11:31 PM
you also need to understand that others are having similar reactions due to his actions just now
ArchaicArcade-Yesterday at 11:33 PM
youre having a heart problem? you were so upset you had a heart attack last night? I'm sorry but I dont think this is comperable
void-Yesterday at 11:33 PM
i meant the goddamn breakdown thing
ArchaicArcade-Yesterday at 11:34 PM
I'm sorry i misunderstoodHe jsut doesnt want anyone to see him die
void-Yesterday at 11:39 PM
i f he wants to push everybody away and ruin every good friendship he had and also ruin the dnd kin thing, fine. im not going to open my arms to him anymore.i dont hate him.but the wanting nothing to do eith each other thing is mutual now.
ArchaicArcade-Yesterday at 11:40 PM
i hope you understand that i stand with him on this. he just doesnt want to hurt people if he actually dies
void-Yesterday at 11:41 PM
if he actually diesso if he doesnt, what. hes gonna be like "heyyy.. fingerguns sorry that i ruined all my friendships, amde people hate me, and made people panic" i dont play ehadgames like that and i refuse to do that with him.plus, idk. iunno. maybe it should be our choice if we want to stick with him even if hes on his death bed?by doing this its hurting more than watching hiom die
ArchaicArcade-Yesterday at 11:43 PM
He's in the hospital and they said things arent looking good. he's terrifiyed and I think you should remember hes only 16. he's just scared as any dying kid would be
void-Yesterday at 11:44 PM
.. so wait. let me get this straight . he decided to. block. every single one of his online friends, out of fear of hurting them. but he didnt try to distance himself from his irl ones, even though it should be thje same fear that drove him to block everybody online in the first place.iwhatnothis boils down to paranoia and distrustwhy exactly, does he  let his irl friends care for him but wont let his online ones do the same
ArchaicArcade-Yesterday at 11:45 PM
It;s easier to block people you don't know in personI just, I cant do this. hes a scared kin and that's all there is to it
void-Yesterday at 11:46 PM
okim dropping itfeel free to block mefigure you want nothing to do with me anymore eitherJune 8, 2018
ArchaicArcade-Today at 12:01 AM
no it's just I need a bit
ArchaicArcade-Today at 8:34 AM
I'm sorry to say this but I've know Riley way longer and well, I choose him over you. I feel terrible but I need to side with my best friend here
void-Today at 11:56 AM
there shouldnt even be a side but okay. i had a feeling y'all weren't telling the truth. because i forgot last night but now i remember that he certainly did not block everybody he was friends with online and the chat in gov kin is evident as such, since people there could still message him.
you all have fun lying now. but i want you both to remember that i would have gone above and beyond for the both of you because i trusted you, cared about you, and loved you.thanks for ripping away a part of my life.

s/o-Today at 7:48 AM
Fuck meRiley is the rat talking to lou
s/o-Today at 11:01 AM
Let me know if you are okay.
void-Today at 11:59 AM
.....wow.
s/o-Today at 11:59 AM
He shared our entire dm
s/o-Today at 12:00 PM
God me too
void-Today at 12:01 PM
you know i have a feeling all their friends were in on it and he didnt even have a heart attack last night
--
s/o- you know I never had a grudge against you, and I wasn't in a good place either when you were in my life. please leave me out of your mouth and i'll continue leaving you out of mine. Don't dis GAK either, it's a quiet kin family. -Lex's "live in" partner.
s/o- also I'm carful about the ages of the people I talk too, and that "flirting with a minor thing" not sure who that was at all? I'm sure it had something to do with the nonsense in KK. Anyway last message I will send unless you choose to respond. Yesterday at 4:53 AM
agenderdad420/mysterypeaches the minor was jeremie diioscuri and the offending behavior was via discord in a mutuals server that he had created Yesterday at 2:26 PM s/o- Now i know what you are talking about. I was mislead about his age. But I also never flirted with him. I sent him an NSFW meme once and his little friends started making wild accusations of me. And I do feel bad for offending him, but I didn't know he was a minor.
s/o- That is also how I personally got kicked from KK. I kicked Alex from KK the previous night because it was behaving destructively Today at 7:44 AM
agenderdad420/mysterypeaches thats not an accusation thats straight up telling the truth
s/o- Talking about trans stuff? I was literally complaing about tucking. I also really feel stabbed in the back right now. You think you know someone
agenderdad420/mysterypeaches you... knew who? look idk what you deem appropriate to talk to minors about but maybe it differs for us
s/o- i don't think a trans vent between two trans people is inappropriate if he was squicked by that he could've told me lol. not go sharing a private convo with you. (and i'm not blaming you for that)
agenderdad420/mystery peaches i will say that there is often an inherent power dynamic between older and younger members that maybe made him more uncomfortable
s/o- you know i can take the blame if I fucked up. I hope you know that I've changed a ton since KK. and since I your drama with Lex started. All I want is to be a good person and contribute something to my fellow kinnies.\
agenderdad420/mysterypeaches honestly i havent really kept up w either you or alex since that point, but i dont doubt you can take accountability for your actions.
agenderdad420/mysterypeaches i just hope that there is change that goes along w acknowledgement and perhaps there has been
s/o- I don't speak for lex. But i just want peace Today at 9:21 AM
agenderdad420 fair
--
s/o - Today at 7:49 AM Apparently riley is the one talking to the person who made my callout Do you have a problem with me arcade? 
ArchaicArcade - Today at 8:07 AM no 
s/o - Today at 8:16 AM I guess i squicked him with something i said 
ArchaicArcade - Today at 8:17 AM i guess 
s/o - Today at 8:19 AM My brain: hes sick because of you 
s/o - Today at 12:02 PM I know you have your reasons  for what you guys are doing. But I hope Riley knows how deep he cut me. I would've given you both the moon.
--
not only have these people caused me to have a severe anxiety attack, they caused my partner the same, as well as many others who weren’t even a part of this.
they have caused me to feel suicidal and paranoid, to want to self harm
as for agenderdad420/mysterypeaches, they have sent me anon hate before, accused me of being racist for my neopronouns (all while saying they’re not against neopronouns, lol), and blew up at me for dropping them after they told me they didn’t like that i was trying to set boundaries for my borderline behaviors with them, and that i was confiding in them everything that was going on with me at the time (which was heavily toxic and depressing towards me) they have used language against me that is ableist and abuse apologetic in nature and their claims otherwise are blatant lies.
i had previously published the majority of the anon hate before deleting it from my blog after a while due to discomfort of having drama on my blog.
they have taken to stalking me to find out more past drama about me, as well as taking false anecdotes from others who claim my s/o has been inappropriate with minors to the point of grooming them, which is 1000000000000000% untrue and taken greatly out of context and skewed into something that never happened.
talking about trans issues isn’t grooming, sending a nsfw meme to a person who my s/o believed to be an adult isn’t grooming.
these people are pure evil and have been planning this for a long time from what i’ve gathered.
they are dangerous and unpleasant and will apparently stop at nothing to obtain their goal, whatever it actually is. as evident as one of them faked a heart attack and may have faked an entire condition.
update 7/17/2018
after speaking to rileys sister who he abused for a good part of their life, as well as ruined it and made their mom send them to live with their aunt, i’ve since learned that this is serial abusive behavior and he has also physically beat his younger siblings, is a pathological liar, and everything i’ve thus learned about him 100% fits his m/o.
he can try all he wants to pretend that he got better and has improved but all i see if that he got better methods.
faking a heart attack in order to call my gf a pedophile for talking about trans issues is fucking despicable.
another thing i’ve discovered is that he did in fact assault the person who he says assaulted him 
and the fact he freaked out over a poorly written callout like that, no offense to the victim is kinda funny and really telling. if he was innocent then why bother mentioning anything? i dont think that many people saw it.
i’ve also learned that archaicarcade, aka julien/julian (and plenty of other past names) also has a past of fucking people over very quickly into friendships and relationships and changing their name and other information in order to hide their past.
in fact.. riley hangs out with a lot of weird people, including somebody who was brainwashed by their older brother to be transphobic, and julien, whos relationship with the minors he surrounds himself with is suspect at best.
he also keeps company with a jehovah’s witness, which i shouldn’t have to explain how problematic that is.
my current thoughts about this is that riley while not innocent at all may be being groomed by julien is who also grooming others with help from his other adult buddies they all hang with. i have no sympathy for riley though after what occurred, whatsoever.
just 10-20 minutes ago somebody on a sockpuppet from wilson, north carolina sent me hate after checking out this callout post for riley, this is the screenshot i took
Tumblr media
i’ve since blocked and reported the sockpuppet, even if this doesnt belong to riley, its clearly from one of his brainwashed supporters. amazing that a month later they still want to start shit. but this? this is pathetic.
look riley and co. i, my gf, my bf, my other bf, and all my friends know the truth. you’re fucking liars and fakes and abusive and groom people. do the universe a favor and go to long term therapy or maybe just never go online ever again with any device, anytime, anywhere, ever. and in fact hole yoruself up in your homes and never speak to anybody ever again because you clearly can’t help yourselves from finding new targets to fuck with.
emotional terrorism at its finest.

Test Tube? Your story? Actually, can we just get everybody's stories?
[Sorry this took so long to answer. After a long debate with myself, I have decided that the best way to answer this question is as a sort of Fanfiction. I’ll put it after a cut because I don’t want to flood anyone’s dash. I’m not sure if I’ll do an answer like this again or not, but I felt it was necessary for this one. Please comment if for some reason the format isn’t working and you can’t read it.]
Response story length: 1889 words.
The ask shone dauntingly on the Mun’s computer screen. The sun stretched through the window, warming her back and making the dust and smears on the computer’s screen all the more noticeable, and the contents of the inbox harder to read. Still, she knew it was there, she had read it a hundred times. She almost wanted to print it out, to twiddle it between her fingers and contemplate what to do about it.
She didn’t know why she was so hesitant to answer. She knew this would come up sooner or later. In fact, Fan and Lightbulb had already answered this very question. Yet, now she gave pause. Was there something she was afraid of? Was it someone’s story?
“You feeling ok?” the gravely voice caught her off guard, and she shot backward, her rolling chair creaking and tipping. She flailed her arms, willing it to land back on it’s five wheels, which it thankfully did.
“Yeesh, didn’t mean to scare ya,” Knife folded his arms and chuckled. “Gotta say, your reaction was priceless though.”
The Mun blew a strand of hair out of her face, before raking her fingers through it to return it to its place. She scrunched up her face in annoyance, but relaxed quickly. She never could stay mad at the characters of one of her favorite cartoons.
“So, what’s bothering you?” She turned to see Paintbrush, as well as the most of the others, riding atop Suitcase. The only one unaccounted for was Bow. One by one they jumped on top of her desk.
“It’s nothing,” the Mun sighed, making a quick movement to close her computer. Fan raced forward and grabbed the edge of the screen, pushing it back up.
“Not so fast!” Fan propped the screen into a better position for him to read it. “Did someone say something mean?”
“No, nothing like that!” the Mun answered quickly. “I just don’t know how to answer the last question!”
“This one?” Fan read it over. “What? That questions easy! I’ve already answered it!” He patted the Mun’s hand. “All you had to do was ask!”
After he relayed the question to the others, they all sat in a compliant circle on the desk. Except for Suitcase, who sat at the end of the Mun’s bed.
“Who first?” Fan asked.
“Well, since out of all of us here right now I was here first, I’ll go first!” Knife jammed his thumb into his handle at about chest level in a proud sort of way. Fan gestured for him to go on.
“I took a nap, and I woke up in the knife drawer.”
After about half a minute of silence, Lighbulb began to applaud while the others exchanged looks.
Fan raised an eyebrow. “That’s it?”
“Well, uh, yeah?” Knife suddenly seemed unsure of himself, not realising they were expecting more.
Lighbulb continued clapping. “Ignore the haters, sharp guy. Some people just don’t understand the art of concise storytelling!”
“Wait, wait, wait.” Paintbrush waved their hands. “Aren’t you, like, a pocket knife or something?”
Now Knife looked embarrassed, but only briefly. “So?” he snapped at them.
The Mun butted in before the argument could escalate. “Actually, we don’t own any pocket knives, so it makes sense to me. The knife drawer was probably the closest thing.”
Knife folded his arms again, like he had just won the argument. Paintbrush scowled, but didn’t bicker any further.
Suitcase kicked her legs nervously. “I guess I’ll go next then.” Her eyes followed the movement of her feet. “I had just wandered off after, well, you know…”
Knife looked off to the side, and the others twitched and coughed nervously. Most of them hadn’t been there, but they had heard about the double elimination and had come to their own conclusions.
“I was just sort of wandering aimlessly, and night fell, so it got pretty dark. I didn’t even really notice the transition. I just kind of ran into a wall, and then another, and then I was surrounded by walls.” Tears were forming in her eyes. “I found something soft to sit on, but, I was so scared. I thought I might be trapped in there forever.”
The Mun moved from her chair onto the bed, wrapping her arms around Suitcase. She knew it was what her followers would want her to do, and more importantly, it was what she wanted to do. Everyone was always talking about how they wanted to give Suitcase a hug, and she felt lucky, no, blessed to be able to do so.
Suitcase took in a breath, stealing herself. She was far stronger than she had been at the beginning of season two, she was just uncertain of herself right now, uncertain of her actions. She finished her story. “Then the Mun found me, and everything got better. She took me to see the mountains.”
After about another minute of silence, Paintbrush finally spoke. “You want me to take it from here?”
Suitcase smiled and passed the conversational batton.
“Well, not much to say from me.” Knife shot them a glare, but they ignored it. “Typical story really. I was walking and I tripped over a tree root. I did a bit of a summersalt and next thing I knew I was trapped between a music roller and a toy telephone.”
“Eerrgg!” Everyone’s attention snapped to Test Tube at her outrage. “Did seriously nobody see what it was that brought them here?”
“Did you?” asked Paintbrush snidely.
“Eh, heh. No.” Test Tube shot back. “That’s why I’m asking all of you!”
“Well, what’s your story?” Suitcase chimed, trying to break the tension that was growing once again.
“Well, my anomaly machine was going haywire, and everyone kept disappearing, so I decided to look around. I took one second to recalibrate my portable anomaly machine, but I dropped it when I smacked into a tree branch. When I tried to pick it up I realised I was stuck.” Test Tube grumbled. “I look away for one second and I miss seeing a possible scientific breakthrough.”
“Heh, sounds familiar.” Out of poor judgment, Fan nudged the person next to him for effect. This happened to be Paintbrush, who was already on edge from previous arguments.
They snapped slightly. “Well, at least Test Tube here was doing something to help and not taking selfies!”
Fan gasped. “I’ll have you know, I was updating my blog! After all, someone had to change your statuses from ‘alive’ to ‘alive, but missing’.”
“Oh, yes, because thats sooo much better!”
Suddenly the bedroom door creaked open, the Mun’s mom arriving at just the right time. “Am I interrupting something?”
“N-not at all, Mrs. Mun!” Paintbrush took the initiative, calming their anger. Despite all, Paintbrush always seemed to take the most resposibily, treating their role as a house guest very seriously.
“I brought hot drinks.” She pushed the door open further, revealing a tray full of mugs. Most of them were expresso mugs full of hot chocolate or tea, since regular mugs were too big. The Mun jumped up to help distribute to steaming drinks, hot chocolate for most, and coffee for Knife because he preferred it. There was also tea for Paintbrush, a special calming blend that the Mun’s mom had secretly chosen for them, and a mango peach tea for Suitcase, one of the Mun’s mom’s favorite.
There was one extra mug.
“Have fun, everyone!” The Mun’s mom tucked the empty tray under her arm, waving goodbye as she closed the door.
Everyone nursed their drinks for a while, the Mun helping Suitcase with her’s.
“Sssssoooo,” Lightbulb whistled. “Can I go next?”
“You already went.” Paintbrush’s voice was laced with annoyance, but the tea had mellowed them out a little. “You fell asleep in a cave, woke up in the Mun’s basement, climbed the stairs, and ravaged the chocolate chips.”
“Well, yeah, but, I mean,” Lightbulb bit her cheek in a sort of pout. “I always tell it more eloquently.”
“Well, I guess the only one left is Bow.” Fan observed.
The Mun suddenly felt the calm she had be building dissipate. “Well, she’s not here, so maybe another day.” She said hastily.
As if on cue, the bedroom door clicked open once again. This time it was the Mun’s dad. Bow was resting in the palm of his hand.
“So then I said… oh, look, we’re here.” Bow backflipped out of his hand and stuck the landing on the desk, earning another applause from Lightbulb.
The Mun looked up at her dad in surprise. She didn’t expect him of all people to be hanging out with Bow. He shrugged. “Ikea chairs needed assembling. She seems to have an intricate knowledge of chairs.”
“You should see them.” Bow examined her hand, as if she was proud of work she probably hadn’t done. “They’re almost worth bringing chairs back in style for.”
The Mun’s dad left without another word. Bow smiled, still looking at her hand like she had just done her nails. “I like him, he’s easy to talk to.”
“Say, Bow,” Fan spoke up. “We were just telling the Mun here about our experiences of getting to this world, for an ask. Care to join?”
Bow slid into the circle, grabbing the spare hot chocolate. “Don’t mind if I do. You’re all missing out on the best story, after all.”
The Mun could feel her forehead sweating, but she sat back and listened anyway.
“So, get this. I was floating around Purgatory Mansion, like always, makin’ my rounds and all that, when suddenly,” She sat up excitement, drawing the others into her story. “It felt like something was tugging on my tail. Then, the floor opened beneath me and I got pulled through. I got more and more solid, and my legs came back. But my tail vanished, so that was disappointing. Then I was here.”
“What did the hole in the floor look like?” Test Tube asked, eyes wide and eager. The Mun twiddled her fingers.
“It was just black, like darkness.”
Test Tube sat back in disappointment. “Aw man, really? That just normal ghost summoning stuff.”
“What were you hoping for?” asked Fan.
“You know, a wormhole or something. But those are blue. Space time and reality stuff is almost always blue.”
The Mun, meanwhile, was trying to play off her relief by taking long sips of hot chocolate. So Bow hadn’t known after all.
Most of them already knew it was the Mun that tore the holes in reality. She had apologised, and they had forgiven her. What they didn’t know, or care to ask, was why.
Why?
She had been selfish and greedy, that was why. It was every fan’s dream, wasn’t it? To bring their favorite characters into real life. To get to live with them like friends and family.
So she had messed with reality, the dangerous fabric. Hard to tear, even harder to mend. She had seen a wormhole, once, opening and closing without leaving anyone behind. It had been more than just blue. None of them knew it yet, but she had found Test Tube’s portable anomaly machine, and if the readings said what she thought they said…
She had to fix this soon, not just so the contestants could return home, but for the sake of reality itself.
