Introducing Clover's friend group for the Lucky Clover AU! I'm planning to do a proper doodle page for each of them, but here's a basic run down of them all.

Dess is the newest addition to the friend group, only recently joining after a chance meeting with Clover in Snowdin. She's aloof and tends to keep to herself, causing some tension between her and the rest of the group. Clover is determined to ensure she's welcomed, regardless of her family connections to the extremely anti-human mayor of Snowdin.

GK is one of Clover's childhood friends! He lives in the Wild East with his single father, though he much prefers the arcade in Oasis Valley to any of the western attractions. He's extremely committed to the 'cool anime protagonist' bit, to the point that he actively refuses to wear glasses despite needing them.

Sandra is Clover's other childhood friend, though she lives in the Oasis Valley. Due to Clover's family connection with Kanako, she immediately latched onto them as a friend, and the two are particularly close. She's somewhat of a popular girl, but she's actually very sweet and humble.

Sage is the eldest of the group! While she isn't around as often, having more adult responsibilities and being swamped with her job, she's still an honorary member. She still lives in Snowdin with her family. She may be the oldest of the group, but she's extremely anxious and doesn't have the strength to reign in everyone's shenanigans. Please let her take a nap.

In which Odysseus (possibly through his connections to Hermes and other gods) , was gifted (or cursed depending on who one asks) with the ability to gain aspects of any creature with enough divine or magical power that he injures- allowing him to gain strength from his enemies. For most of his life it doesn’t come up. As a child he grows the tail, stripes and gains some of the strength of Athena’s boar (and gets some more bristle like hairs mixed into his natural texture). That boar proves that he was one of the people with divine blood to get that trait (it’s not guaranteed) but for years after that the only enemies he slays are humans or animals that don’t have enough magic in their blood to carry over to him.

In his desperate fight to survive and get home after the Trojan war, his body starts to have to adapt quickly. It doesn’t help him feel like he’s still a man but his wife still loves him.

I don’t know if I will end up writing anything for it because my brain keeps hopping between teh Epic fandom and Submas too fast for me to get much writing done but I made designs for each of his changes/designs. They’re put bellow because he’s just in non-period accurate boxers and for spoilers/scars

First- he’s had boar-like traits since childhood so everyone knows he has this rare but known to exist connection to transformation and is just accepted to have these traits

Then he goes most of his life without change until the cyclops, where the divine essence that chooses when he gets traits counts the blinding of it as enough injury to gain some traits- mostly tusks and red eyes

He doesn’t physically injure anything else until the sirens but once he gets there, he doesn’t do the deed himself for all of them but he hurts a lot of them verrrry badly so he gets a lot of traits from them.

After that, the only traits he gains are a few from when he bites or hits or even draws his tword at Calypso. Whether or not she actually forces herself on him all the way, she is touchy and pressuring and he has instincts honed in war and battle. He can never hurt her too badly so he doesn’t gain much from her but there’s some.

I decided not to include the harpies and other things he might fight before coming into view of Ithaca, deciding that they either didn’t happen or he didn’t directly hurt them like with Charybdis. This means his next traits are from repeatedly stabbing Poseidon with his own trident over and over, getting a lot of traits (and based on my hippocampus centaur Poseidon just to be fun)- though I made the drawing for this one a little post Ithaca saga to show some of the healing :D.

50 nsfw questions for Din Djarin

Hey there ✨ This is my first time ever writing headcanons and oh my, I loved it. Have fun with our dearest Space Hunter !

Also let's consider this as a celebration for 100 followers !!! Yaaay !! I never thought I would reach this number here, I love you all ❤️

Also please excuse if there're mistakes, english is not my first language.

Gifs by @perotovar

18+ MDI

1. Biggest Turn-On

When your silhouette is drawing behind the sliding slight transparent door of the washroom of the Crest. He loves you to tease him with a sight of your partially, or not, naked body while he still wears his armor. Din also loves tension after a fight you both would get into, watching you sweaty and powerful..

2. Biggest Turn-off

Do not dare to betray him. He would catch the lies in your eyes even before you would attempt something against him. Do not use him. Never. You'll regret it.

3. Quickest way to get horny

Being confined in a small space with you, when hiding from enemies during a mission with you. Glances of you trying to guess his expression through his helmet. Lingering, ‘accidental’ touches, fingers grazing yours while seated next to you in a cantina on Nevarro. And probably the very best way to get your space hunter horny would be when you cross your arms on his armored body behind him, seated on his pilot chair, and your hands reach down for him to give him a little break on his job.

4. Top 3 places to be touched

Being a Bounty-Hunter is a hard life choice for a man, and this armor weighs quite a lot on this magnificently built body. So he probably would enjoy a gentle massage of his upper - and lower - back, using some oil or maybe just your fingers grazing his skin to help him fall asleep. Speaking of falling asleep, number two would definitely be his hair. God he misses your tickling and you playing with his dark curls when he has to keep the helmet on. And number three would be his hands, calloused, used and exhausted from fighting. Din is a sucker for soothing gestures while he's back to the Crest after a mission, so he would kill for you to massage his ungloved hands at the end of a tough day.

5. Do you like the idea of a threesome or moresome ?

Din is a space curiosity man. He would probably would prefer you alone for him, just to be his to please and fuck, but he certainly would enjoy one time or so a well-chosen partner for the two of you.

6. Sex or Masturbation ?

Both, since the loneliness of his jobs across the Galaxy, alone in the Razor Crest, would make him needy when remembering you. And of course he would fuck you as soon as he could when being near you. Beskar on flesh.

7. Spit or Swallow ?

Oh Din is a gentleman. He would never ask you to swallow, nor even for your precious mouth to be covered in his white thick juice.. He would think it is too demeaning. Unless you beg for him to cum on your lips, and you ask him to swallow right with finishing to suck him dry.

8. Rough or Romantic sex ?

He would mostly be romantic and tender, kissing you softly, caressing every bit of your skin. Though as he probably has missed you during his last job, he would take you roughly right as he sees you, not even taking off his armor.

9. Loud or quiet partners ?

He absolutely loves to hear how good he makes you feel. Be loud, Honey, you better show your Space Hunter how much you like him making love to you. 

10. How much foreplay ?

Removing a Beskar armor is quite long Honey, so that’s why Din would enjoy taking care of you first, just using his tongue and his lips, licking and biting you delicately. And sometimes he would remove his gloves.. He loves you even more when you beg for him to take you, even still wearing that Beskar.

11. How much teasing does he like ?

He would love you to tease him until he has enough and wants to take you, but he probably would enjoy teasing you actually. Giving you pleasure with lust and possessiveness.

12. Hooks up or only partners ?

Mando is a solitary man, but he has enjoyed the company of a beautiful creature before you, even for just a few hours before he leaves for his next job again.

13. How much kissing during sex ?

If he's with you, alone and safe in the Razor Crest, he would never release your lips. You would be the only one he would remove his helmet for, and enjoy his tender and hungry kisses.

14. Favorite place to have sex ?

Anywhere as long as it is with you Darling.

15. Would he have sex in public ?

He’s a man of risk. Yes he would. The fear of getting caught, of getting seen or heard. That would definitely drive him mad, fucking you against a wall, in the changing room of the Baths, or discreetly using his fingers between your legs while seated in a bar. 

16. Last place he had sex?

On his pilot chair in the Razor Crest..

17. Where would he most like to have sex?

Pretty most anywhere safe enough to get a good time with you. But he would mostly take you in his ship, or at your place if you dare to invite him.

18. Spontaneous sex or does he need to be in the mood?

Both. Just you being around him would already set him in the mood..

19. Would he go for a hookup at a stranger's house?

After a long hunting day, and only if he's single, yes. But since he's with you no. The Mandalorian is a man of honor and he's loyal to the one he loves the most.

20. Biggest kink?

Choking you, still wearing his gloves. Do you really think he would take the time to undress if he was visiting you between two jobs ? He would love to see begging for more, and begging for him to remove his helmet. Sometimes he would, and sometimes not.. 

21. Is he ok with name-calling?

No. Din is a gentle and kind soul. He would never diminish you by calling you in bad ways.

22. Would he do BDSM?

Again, Din enjoys pleasures, teasing almost, gentle gestures in bed, skin caresses. Sex with him would be moments of either extreme care, passion, tenderness, or wilderness.

23. Would he prefer to tie you up or be tied up?

Both. Definitely. He would so enjoy watching you beg for him to end the frustration of not taking you.. And Din would also enjoy a handcuffed-being at your mercy game.

24. Does he like orgasm denial?

Even if that would stir him up into a frustration storm.. Yes. But he shall have his revenge on you right after. Be prepared to be ravaged with ferocious kisses and lustful hands on your body.

25. Does he like overstimulation?

Not so very much actually. Din is willing to suffer on a mission, but not in bed. He would enjoy the sensation of one more lick or suck but not more. He would prefer your kisses and gentle touch in his ears, hearing how breathless he had gotten you.

26. Does he like pain being involved?

Probably not. Din is a ferocious fighter on hunts, but in bed, with you, he is a sweetheart. Caring, loving, affectionate. Making love should be only about pleasure and indulging for this space hunter. He deserves it. 

27. Does he like dirty talk?

He will have to learn with you what you like to hear, but he eventually would end up whispering the filthiest words in your ear as he pounds deep in you, Beskar worn or not, and makes you cry for more.

28. Does he own sex toys? How many?

The only toy Din has in his possession would be his comlink.. To watch some of those holos. And maybe some you would have made for him when separated by your respective jobs.

29. What does he masturbate to?

Your voice, memories of you watching the Stars with him, memories of you taking a shower in the Twi'li'k bath, purposely teasing him with the sight of your naked body.

30. Multiple rounds or will he settle for one orgasm ?

Din would definitely have enough stamina to rock you several times if you need to.

31. Does he enjoy giving oral?

When he misses you, he would kill to feel you under his lips, you just offered and naked for him.

32. Does he prefer giving or receiving oral?

He likes both equally. 

33. What makes him orgasm the fastest ?

The sight of you naked under him, pounding into you, you begging for him to cum inside you.. Or while you're riding him, on his bunk down in the Crest. Ultimately having your lips kissing him furiously, feeling your moans and you screaming his name on his mouth.. That would make him lose his mind and almost see the Stars. 

34. Does he like/do anal/pegging?

Din is curious. But he wouldn't start with such things. If you're willing for him to give this side of the game Darling, you better ask him. 

35. Favorite position?

Right when he can have your legs spread for him, his body leaned on yours, his arms framing and capturing you in his warmth. Yes, that would be long, slow, but intense missionary.

36. Does he use protection?

Din is gentleman and unless you assure or beg him you want him to fuck you raw, he will always use protection.

37. Does he masturbate with clothes on ?

Oh dear, do we need to talk about how this man is supposed to endure your absence, alone in his ship ? No we don't. Of course he would keep his armor on, and make a mess thinking of you..

38. How does he prefer his partner's hair/grooming?

He likes a tidy appearance, but he knows what days of confinement in a spaceship means Darling, so he's not very fussy in general. Just being with you in this small space that is his space ship, half-naked pretty much all the time.. That would lead to a lot of nice times.. Regardless of how ravaged and exhausted you both would be.

39. What does he wear to bed?

Nothing. Once he removes his heavy armor and helmet, it is for good until the next morning.

40. What does he like his partner to wear ?

Transparency. He loves the mere evocation of your silhouette seen through a delicate silk night garment.. And probably to take you while you still wear it.

41. Does he like his balls played with?

Girl. You better learn how to play with those or he will teach you. 

42. What is his sexuality?

He's probably pansexual as he tends to be attracted to any form of beauty in this galaxy. Including you.

43. Does he have extreme or unusual kinks?

Having you while you're handcuffed, and the other way : him being at your mercy kind of game. He’s used to being the hunter, and sometimes he wants to know it is to be hunted.

44. How often does he masturbate ?

The man is very busy hunting throughout the Galaxy, but as soon as his mind linger a bit longer onto thoughts, memories of the two of you.. He certainly would. 

45. Favorite toy?

His fingers. And his tongue. The man hides his skills under his helmet.

46. Does he like roleplay?

Oh he might discover he does. Just help him find what is right for this Bounty-Hunter. Like playing hide-and-seek, as a hunter and prey thing. And oh Dear, you better be ready when the Mandalorian finds you. 

47. Any fetishes?

Din is a gentle and calm soul so he wouldn't be needy for something in particular. Except, maybe.. being bitten…. As he feels so hungry for your touch when far from you. He misses you and he needs you to mark him, especially on his neck and shoulders. He needs to feel you.

48. Aftercare?

Again, Din is a gentleman. He would wait for your body to ease and for your thighs to stop trembling before laying next to you, exhausted and undone. He would caress you, travel his fingers on your sweaty skin, from your waist to your cheek. He would admire how messy he has made you, watching you wince, and chuckle, as the muscles of your thighs would hurt. And Din would patiently wait for you to recover your breath, eyes closed, and he would kiss you again, pulling you into his arms, unable to resist your opened mouth, still moaning..

“Are you alright Sweetheart ? You seem to have lost your mind” - kiss

49. Does he ever go comando?

Probably at night in the Crest, alone, or with you around in somewhere safe, just for you to enjoy the sight of his gorgeous and strong body.

50. Phone sex?

Oh freaking yes. Comlinks would become sticky at some point..

Thank you for reading ! Hope you enjoyed it ✨

Tagging the best : @thegreatwicked @evolnoomym @the-mandawhor1an

[crescenthistory]

okay babes, i write quite a bit of disabled!reader or chronically ill!reader fics entirely self indulgently that i just keep in a folder for myself.

would you guys want me to share them with you and start posting them? some are generic chronic pain or unspecified illness while others are specific (primarily endometriosis, pots and eds)

[pacifistcowboy]

i love mr tinker so much and i already miss him 🥺

[metanarrates]

honestly how are you so smart? How do I become smart? My entire life I was put in the gifted classes and I really think it made me think I was smarter than I am. I'm "intelligent", sure. But I'm also really dumb and it's a huge sore point for me :( I'm always falling victim to believing anyone who sounds the most convincing and I never have my own opinion. It's like those discourse posts where I'll have whiplash reading them thinking "OK this is the most morally correct stance on the matter got it!" And then there'll be a new response and I'll go "OK scratch that! This is what I should believe and parrot back!". I'm really worried that I don't have any firm stances on anything and I'm a sheep who just follows the most ""correct"" sounding take. Sorry to dump this on you, I'd just like to hear your thoughts on it!

that sort of thing is more common than you think, anon. lots of people have trouble not following a herd mentality. it's scary to go against the grain! and i do think the educational system can reinforce that in certain people, since having the "correct" thought as determined by educators is prioritized more than a student having their own independent opinions.

my advice is to start small. if you see a post on your dash talking about a certain topic, really take a moment to step back. does this argument seem convincing? does it seem accurate? if so, why? do you have all the information? if you don't know enough about a topic to formulate your own opinion, maybe you should do some research!

and im not saying you should by default disagree with everything you see. that creates its own host of problems. I'm saying that whether you agree OR disagree with something, you should take a step back and evaluate why. can you explain your own opinions to others outside of "people I want to agree with have this opinion?"

it's also perfectly fine to not have an opinion on certain topics. if you don't know very much about something, there's no shame in waiting to form an opinion until you have more information. don't be afraid to ask questions. don't be afraid to investigate the trustworthiness of sources!

but if all that is overwhelming, and stepping in discourse sounds scary, you can even try this with fiction you read or watch. (im primary a media analysis blog, so i really do think fiction is a great practice ground to practice your analytical skills.) how does this story make me feel? can I identify why it does that? do I like this character? why? can I pick up on any subtext here? can I identify any literary devices the author is using? small questions like that.

in my opinion, a lot of my seeming intelligence comes from my ability to know and explain myself. I spend a lot of time reflecting on why I hold certain opinions, and seeking out further information when I don't understand something. you're probably here because you like my opinions on media analysis - those opinions are formed by not only reading and watching a wide range of things, but by seeking out different lens of analysis, and yes, seeing what other people have to say, and evaluating whether or not I think their opinions are well-supported. I try my best to expose myself to a lot of different types of thought. and I try my best to understand my own mental mechanisms, and to challenge them when necessary. I do think that's crucial to being an independent thinker.

I am sorry if this comes across as a lot. this stuff is overwhelming! you don't have to take all my advice at once. if you can pick even one suggestion from this post, and make an honest effort to try it, you'll start getting better at confronting your fear of being wrong, or the odd one out. over time, it will get easier for you to understand yourself as an independent person.

[nems-corner]

A little update...

this blog is on hold while we determine if we actually want to continue it or not, however, we're considering doing a little... switcheroo between blogs you see, this blog is the main blog of this account that contains all our ask blogs, and while that worked while we were very active on this blog... it works less so now that this blog isn't very active! what we're considering doing is creating a side blog for asklotusandmarshmallow, reblogging all previous posts to that blog, and then turning this blog into a main blog version of @nems-corner, essentially! We'd queue all the reblogs from nems-corner so that we dont flood any dashboards by doing this though afdgsfhdg However, we recognize we have a lot more followers on this blog than on our mun's blog, so we don't wanna switch things up without giving a heads up on whats happening!

[mithrandirl]

thought about writing then decided to just have a panic attack instead haha

[eggsnatcheskneecaps]

Hi Shining Nikki fandom I come with (currently) irrelevant information

Maybe others knew about this, but I didn't sooo

I was reading a theory on an anime/manga I'm currently into, when the person who wrote the post mentioned this:

Which reminded me of the Grand Obsession UR event. Specifically Qin Yi's clan. So I looked a bit more into Kodoku. Low and behold...

I don't have much more to say about this. Maybe if I was a bit more refreshed on the event, I could, but I'm not particularly passionate about it and also I don't know if I want to write a bunch of paragraphs drawing parallels on this subject. Just thought someone else could find this interesting. Let me know if you need this tagged in any way.

UTG Lore (How Key and JD met Part 1)

"So this seems to be the place.."

As Key walks to the entrance of the local graveyard he felt a chill on his spine, he was not sure why he would try to go there in the first place but he was just wondering what is the fuss about this place. And plus what's wrong with seeing where your godfather works right?

Well it seems to be a problem when your said godfather works at a graveyard, and not only that it is said to be where most people go missing when visiting because of some unknown creature lurking that place, striking  those unlucky enough and eat them.

"Damn before I got here I was aware that this town was kind of weird but these rumours are just absurd.. Besides if that were the case I wouldn't be moving in with Mr. Morgan in the first place." Key thought.

After all a graveyard is just a place where the dead get buried its not like they can get up and move on their own or have a terrifying monster lying beneath it right?

Opening the gate he was immediately greeted by a cold breeze flew across his face and sees the many tombstones with plants were growing around it as well as a few crows hanging out there.

Walking inside he looks at the different tombstones each having the names of the townspeople who lived here before, some of them were names that he was able recognise as some of them are last names of his neighbours, I mean obviously right? they had lived in this town way longer than he ever did, hell they probably have a whole family linage of people who lived and died here.

While walking around and observing suddenly he notices one particular part of the graveyard that stood out. It was one of those small houses where caskets are put for those who don't wish to be buried, which were called a mausoleum if he remembers correctly. One of the first things he notices at the entrance that it seems to have 5 buttons with each having a strange symbol engraved on it.

First button had a rose, the second a skull, the third one a crow, the fourth one an eye, and the last one had a strange symbol that he can't really recognize nor understand.

"Hmm that's strange it seems to need some sort of code..

I guess the people who made this really don't want this unlocked." Key says.

As Key looks around the area he may have started to get to curious for his good.

"I wonder how this can be unlocked"

"Careful kid you might find out something you'll regret" a mysterious voice is suddenly heard.

Key startled by hearing the voice frantically looks around trying to see where it's coming from. "What the hell- who is there?!"

The voice snickers. "Calm yourself goggles I'm just messing with ya." From the corner of Key's eye he sees a boy probably around his age, slightly taller than him, wearing a long rugged black coat with a newsboy cap covering half his face.

"What the hell! You didn't have to scare me like that you know! Besides what is someone doing here anyways??" Key crosses his arms.

"I should be saying the same with you, normally this area is not a place where people just go for a stroll like it's a park ." The boy responds.

"But I suppose some people have different preferences on where they hang out" he shrugs. "Right.." Key still caught of guard by the boy's sudden appearance.

After a the quiet moment the boy now decided to break the awkward silence.

"Anyways you seems interested of that mausoleum why don't you try to find a way to unlock it?"

The boy says it so casually for an idea that will not only be breaking in but also disrespecting the dead. Which is not something Key does not want to do right now, besides he doesn't want to burden his guardian with any mess he might cause. It is already annoying enough that people around town have been spreading rumours about them so adding trouble like this is not ideal at all.

"Wait what- I'm not trying to unlock this!" "Really? It seems you wanted to just now." "I'm not just wanted to take a look that's all" "Yeah sure you were kid" the boy says rolling his eyes.

"What are you too scared to see what's behind that thing? Or are you just not smart enough to solve the puzzle? He teases.

Hearing those words Key felt his blood boil he just met this kid barely a minute ago and he's already starting to not like him.

"Well excuse you I don't know what your problem is but as if I don't have the brain to be able to solve this." Key scowled.

"Is that so? The boy responds.

"If that is the case how about we make a deal? If you manage to solve this puzzle I'll leave you alone."

"But if you don't you have to do whatever I say just like a dog" The boy smiles mischievously.

"Seriously what kind of deal is that??" Key asks. "Well if you don't want to I suppose I was right after all" The boy sighs "Excuse me! I bet I can be able to solve this puzzle with no struggle or help at all" Key hisses.

"Is that so?"  he then took a step closer meeting eye to eye with Key.

"Then go ahead, prove it to me" The boy grinned. "Fine!" Key grits his teeth walking away from him to look around for the said clues.

Walking around he starts to wonder what he have gotten himself into if only he didn't care about his ego he wouldn't be putting himself into this situation.

Finding the clues were harder than he thought at first as the place was covered by many plants that have overgrown there with the way he found the clues were strange to say the least..

To start of he had tripped into a thorn bush (which hurt like hell-) where he found an old flower pot that had the number 3 engraved on it where inside he found a note saying to check out one of the golems there.

Second he went to check out the golems and found that one of their eyes were missing upon closer inspection he found another paper inside it's mouth, it seemed to be a map that has a the letter X pointing to the corner of the cemetery. Walking there he finds a shovel nearby and start digging into the spot of the map had crossed out and found a small stone eyeball with the number 5 on it. He decides to head back to the golems and put that eye back which unlocks a secret compartment on the stand of the golem much to Key's horror finds a skull in it. "What in the world.." Key says shaking a bit as he holds it.

Suddenly the skull was taken away by the strange boy.

"Wow some people have interesting ways to hide clues" The boy says as he plays around with the skull as if it's a toy.

"Hey what are you-" Key says as he tries to get it back but the boy holds Key by the face as he inspect the skull.

Looking at the back of the skull it says number 2 where the the boy finds the third note inside it with it saying to find the crows for help.

"Hey give me that!" Key manages to snatch the note but is now kind of confused on what it meant.

"Find the crows for help how can that-" But before he could finish his sentence suddenly hears a sound of caws nearby.

Immediately he follows that noise which leads to a small bird bath where the crows where chilling and checks under the basin to find the number 4 on it.

Alright it seems that he manage to find most of the clues except the last one which much to his dismay wasn't able to find.

Despite that he figures that since he managed to find most of the assign numbers for most of them he's sure the last assign number for that last symbol is 1.

Walking back to the entrance he presses the buttons in that order.

First strange symbol, next the skull, third the rose, fourth the crow, than the last was the eye.

Once he done it unlocks itself to show an elevator huh weird since when are these supposed to have those? It is protected by a gate that has a lock on it, great...

"Congrats bud you seem to somehow manage to solve the puzzle." The boy slowly claps his hands. "Although it seems your efforts to went to waste with the fact there is still a lock that requires a specific key." The boy says.

As much as he was annoyed by this guy he has a point how is Key supposed to be able to unlock this? He was about to plan to just leave it as is since he already solve the puzzle but that was when he idea. He puts his hand into his left pocket and finds something that he has held onto since he was 5 years old.

A key.

When Key was still living with his relatives he always tend to look around the attic to find and explore the many antiques and books that have been collecting dust by then, although he did have toys there was just something fun about exploring the attic plus he would tend to find lots of interesting stuff too. Like some random coats, old family pictures, hand made pottery (which he sometimes  accidentally breaks-) but one of his favourite things to find is the many of puzzle toys that have been left there.

So when he saw a box that require him to solve a puzzle he obviously had to try to figure it out, it took a way longer than he expected but he finally managed to unlock it to reveal the key. Although he was disappointed at first he for some reason kept it with him despite being not sure what he'll ever use it for.

Maybe now is the best time to use it.

With that he inserts the key into the lock and to his surprise it unlocks.

"Wow kid how did you manage to have the exact key to unlock that?" The boy says also genuinely surprised.

"I don't know either I just had this before in the attic of my old home." Key replies.

They both stare at the entrance unsure on what to do next.

"So what now? Are you going to head in goggles?"

"What no absolutely not!!"

"Aww so you are still scared of what's behind that thing."

"No I'm not! How about you why don't you go in there??"

"Can't do kid as it'll probably dirty my coat. Though that'll mean we just wasted our time putting the effort to unlocking this thing."

Ugh this guy really saying that as if he doesn't look like he showered for days let alone at all, Key really thought he already lost his patient yet somehow this kid is proving otherwise.

"We! You didn't do anything at all! I have been the one doing all the work! Key says as he is getting more and more irritated with the boy as each minute goes on.

"Fine if you don't want to waste your effort why don't you go in right now." The boy replies crossing his arms.

"Alright fine I will!" Saying that Key walks inside the elevator but as soon as he enters the gate close all the sudden. It have caught both of the boys by surprise but before Key could turn around the elevator suddenly falls.

[walkwithursus]

It is very weird/interesting to be writing RP again after so long. I spent years unlearning some of the habits I picked up in RP, only to sort of go too far in the other direction. Now that I’m back on the RP train, I wonder if I can pick up some of those old skills I never meant to abandon.

To be more specific, when you’re writing RP, you’re only in charge of your character(s) and a fraction of a moment. If you want to write anything of substance, you’ve got to really dive deep into introspection, scene description, minute detail. This doesn’t necessarily make for great fic writing, and I worked really hard for a number of years to condense my writing down to the bare bones. Unfortunately, in doing so, I think I became too bare bones and forgot how to write that level of detail.

I guess maybe it’s good to flex both skills as a writer and find a happy medium in the process. But idk!

[Image ID: 3D art of three Pokemon: Swalot, Gulpin and Smeargle.

Swalot is shaped like a big purple blob, with a black pattern on its stomach, small red eyes, moustache-like yellow whiskers and big puckered lips. It is posing holding Gulpin, a much smaller green Pokemon.

Gulpin is oval-shaped with small hands directly attached to its body and a feather-shaped yellow attachment on its head. It has two angled lines for eyes and puckered lips.

On the right, humanoid Pokemon Smeargle is painting a portrait of the two Pokemon posing. Smeargle is beige and brown with dog-like floppy ears, a visible tongue, and a very long thin tail with fur at the end. The top of its head is shaped like a beret.

Smeargle is holding a paint palette and using its tail as a paintbrush. On the easel, the painting of the two Pokemon is like a child's drawing, with a very crude outline of the Swalot in purple and the Gulpin in green. End ID.]

So, Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like this:

Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

FOR SERVERS YOU ARE AN ADMIN IN

Go to Roles -> @/everyone roles -> Scroll all the way down to External Apps, and disable it. This won't delete the option, but it will make people receive a private message instead when they use it, protecting your users:

You should also make it a bannable offense to edit other user's images with AI. Here's how I worded it in my server, feel free to copypaste:

Do not modify other people's images with AI under ANY circumstances, such as with the Discord "enhancement" features, amidst others. This is a bannable offense.

COMPLAIN TO DISCORD

There's few ways to go around this. First, you can go to https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new , select Help and Support -> Feedback/New Feature Request, and write your message, as seen in the screenshot below.

For the message, here's some points you can bring up:

Concerns about harassment (such as people using this feature to bully others)

Concerns about privacy (concerns on how External Apps may break privacy or handle the data in the images, and how it may break some legislations, such as GDPR)

Concerns about how this may impact minors (these features could be used with pictures of irl minors shared in servers, for deeply nefarious purposes)

BE VERY CLEAR about "I will refuse to buy Nitro and will cancel my subscription if this feature remains as it is", since they only care about fucking money

Word them as you'd like, add onto them as you need. They sometimes filter messages that are copypasted templates, so finding ways to word them on your own is helpful.

ADDING: You WILL NEED to reply to the mail you receive afterwards for the message to get sent to an actual human! Otherwise it won't reach anyone

UNSUSCRIBE FROM NITRO

This is what they care about the most. Unsuscribe from Nitro. Tell them why you unsuscribed on the way out. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. They're a company. They take actions for profit. If these actions do not get them profit, they will need to backtrack. Mass-unsuscribing from WOTC's DnD beyond forced them to back down with the OGL, this works.

LEAVE A ONE-STAR REVIEW ON THE APP

This impacts their visibility on the App store. Write why are you leaving the one-star review too.

_

Regardless of your stance on AI, I think we can agree that having no way for users to opt out of these pictures is deeply concerning, specially when Discord is often used to share selfies. It's also a good time to remember internet privacy and safety- Maybe don't post your photos in big open public servers, if you don't want to risk people doing edits or modifications of them with AI (or any other way). Once it's posted, it's out of your control.

Anyways, please reblog for visibility- This is a deeply concerning topic!

@ptternminds / send me a 🚩 and i'll share... prompt.

muses are not people and should not be written as such. and what i mean by that is that while there technically is no such thing as too much character development, it is possible to have a character with lots of hcs but still be underdeveloped if those hcs don't contribute in some way to the character's overall arc. people in rl are contradictions and don't necessarily have to have likes and dislikes that match up...characters, however, i do think need to be consistent to some degree in order for their characterization to remain consistent. i guess what i'm trying to say is that when i say i look for character development in the blogs i follow, i'm not necessarily looking for quantity so much as quality...less of lots of character development and more of tight character development.

so many people talk about how they want to have that one partner who you can have like 48290348 ships with and talk well in the wee hours of the morning...i always wonder if they realize, like those kinds of connections usually don't appear overnight? like, of course there needs to be a spark, but it takes time and patience to build that kind of trust and familiarity and at least in my case, with the ones i have tons of dynamics, it took months ( sometimes even years ) of following to even make that spark...

this does not apply to everyone who writes on here, BUT...a good chunk of tumblr writers would not make it in the professional writing world/publication side. for one thing, writing prose can be very different from writing rp and even rp drabbles. prose needs a plot, major events happening where rp threads and drabbles don't have to have them or tend to write the moments around those events. and two, you need to be open to feedback and criticism of your work even if it does sting. i'm not saying you need to be a doormat to people who give bad criticism/are straight up mean, but i have seen way too many writers on here who are just?? either egotistical about their writing to the point they're can't see the flaws in their own work or so insecure about their writing, they go seeking only praise...neither of those groups of people will ever actually work to improve their craft. and thus over the years their writing never grows. the process of publishing is one of critique, revision, and tons of rejection; neither of those kinds of writers would make it out there.

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'
