#don't know if i tag the ships because i am talking bad about the book version

[lambcultist]

The TLOU fandom is so sensitive and those ppl are migrating over into the Arcane fandom and spreading their pro-censorship agenda

it's so unfortunate. i'm not much older but i feel as though most of the people spreading these narratives are actually on the younger side and it can be pretty obvious. i feel like many of them first got into fandom spaces during 2020 and did not care to learn the 'etiquette'. i miss when fandom was just a bunch of weird kids :(

i grew up with unrestricted internet access (not good! which is also why i do not allow minors to interact with me!) and have been in fandom spaces since around 2014. i always understood the concept of ship and let ship, dead dove do not eat, and don't like, don't read. we are losing the sacred texts <//3

i know this is me preaching to the choir here, because only my followers will read this and pro-censorship people will refuse to read all of this, but i need a rant.

censoring fanworks is bad. posting a (correctly tagged) dark fic on ao3 or tumblr, which are places that are supposed to be mostly free of censorship, is very different to posting something like that on apps that have strict guidelines against this. if these people don't understand the history behind ao3 or the fanfiction.net purge, even the tumblr purge, they shouldn't be talking about these things. i'll always be anti-censorship because we have explicit evidence that it is harmful.

if we censor fanfiction, who gets to decide what is and isn't moral? what is and isn't a moral representation of darker topics? what topics should be allowed? because i can tell you right now, the complexity of this discussion will result in everything except for fluff being purged—and sometimes even fluff could be considered bad (e.g. hurt/comfort fics). with the way that conservatism is heading right now, and the actual published books that might be banned in the united states soon, who is to say we will still be able to write slash fics anymore? in the us, a bill is being drafted to force people to verify their id before using sites like ao3 so that people won't be exposed to porn or lgbtq+ content. this is exactly what i mean when i say we should not be censoring fanfiction. it harms everyone, not just people who write questionable content.

i don't understand people getting their panties twisted over coming across this stuff, and deciding to go harass the creators who (more often than not) are mentally ill and coping. i do not understand how sending people death threats puts you on a higher moral ground than them. if people cannot separate fiction from reality, that is their own problem—they should be thinking critically about everything they engage with. playing a game like tlou and then drawling the line at fics with themes like stalking and kidnapping (which happens similar in the source material!!!) is strange.

because nobody is forcing these people to read these fics. most of the time they are tagged correctly. you have the choice whether or not to read something. i have things i won't read or write about and that's fine, i just state it in my blog rules and move on. scroll away from any fic with those topics. i am starting to think these people do have some level of morbid curiosity that makes them read triggering stuff, but they suffer a moral panic over it, which is why it bothers them so much that they go out to harass people.

it's absurd. we are seeing a very concerning rise in purity culture and conservatism lately. i am just confused by it all. these debates hardly existed a while ago. unfortunately if you use the internet, you will always come across unsavoury things. thankfully fanfiction is fiction. it isn't harming anyone. there are honestly far worse things out there.

little nervous to post this as i have just rambled on and on and i am actually afraid to receive hate—but these are my thoughts on the matter.

also adding: i miss the arcane fandom when only season one was out. i also miss the tlou fandom from before the hbo show got released (especially because a lot of new fans will be blatantly zionist and deny the grosser aspects of it) when the fandoms were a little smaller, especially here on tumblr, it was very safe. now between racist jayvik shippers and people who simply cannot think with nuance to save their life, it's a hellscape

Johnny cade for the "give me a character" thingy cuz I love him :3

How I feel about this character

  I love Johnny, man. Very simple feelings ‘bout him, but yk, I love him. I don’t often…spin him ‘round in my brain like I do with some of the others, but I have a lot of strong opinions abt him and I love him lol

All the people I ship romantically with this character

  I occasionally ship him with Dally, but only occasionally. Idk they’ve got something goin on but idk what lol. I definitely don’t see them as an older brother and little brother, although I get where people are coming from- idk though, that’s like the least interesting take on their whole…deal for me I guess? I (personally) don’t think Dally and Johnny are brotherly/parental at all, and reducing them to that means losing out on the much more interesting (I think) dynamic that they do have- like Dally can’t be vulnerable with anyone BUT Johnny, and Johnny is at his most confident with Dally. And he has power over Dally that no one else does. It could be romantic or platonic for me, but the important thing is that they’re equals imo. I mean c’mon, only one of them’s canonically stabbed a guy to death, and it ain’t Dally. They’re tied together somehow idk man

  I sorta like the idea of Johnny and Sylvia being something tho. I don't think abt it much, but it adds something morally bad to a character that’s supposed to be purely good that I find fascinating. Not the sorta ship I ship per se, but one I like toying with sometimes because there’s so much to unpack there ig. I don’t usually see it as canon but I sometimes like it.

  Finally, I read this GUT WRENCHING fic one time where Johnny was who Sandy cheated on Soda with. I…really liked that fic. The ship hits a lotta the same notes as Johnny/Sylvia but explores Johnny and Soda…idk man again not the sorta thing I usually see as canon but holy shit the fic kinda blew my mind lol. It’s here if y’all wanna check it out- mind the tags and all. It’s a rarepair but it KILLS me man. It ain’t…canon to me, but I think abt it sometimes (the ship and the fic) and just feel things idk. (Part of that is probably b/c I love Soda, but yk)

My non-romantic OTP for this character

  Uhh Dally also honestly

  I mean Johnny and Pony are close too, but I really don’t see them as BEST friends. Ik a lotta people do which is perfectly valid, but in my head they’re…not? I dunno. They’re definitely friends, but TO ME it’s in the way that I’m friends with kids who I’ve grown up with who are like cousins to me now- we’re close, and I know they have my back, and I could tell them anything if I really wanted to, but I probably won’t unless we’re alone together in a church for a week. (@veggiesforpresident just talked abt them earlier today here, and she put it into words a helluva lot better than I am rn- definitely check that out)

My unpopular opinion about this character

He’s tough. I mean everyone knows that, but I’m not massively fond of fics/art that portray him as small and soft. Like sure, Pony sees him that way, but to the rest of the world Johnny is a hood. He may be small, but he can fight. He loves drag races, man!

  Idk, Ralph Macchio put it best in this behind the scenes book I own: 

  “Johnny was always described as the runt of the greaser litter- the one they all protected. However, as the story unfolded he became the most level-headed and clear-minded in the face of adversity. I always recognized that in him even from the first reading of the book at age twelve. I am biased, but he is one of the richest and fully drawn characters in the ensemble.”

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

  I’m biased b/c I love Soda but I woulda loved to see him hanging with Soda. Really the rest of the gang in general (not that there was time for that lol), but it’s canon to me that Johnny was friends with Soda first. Eventually they diverged and became close to Dally and Steve respectively, but in elementary school it was Johnny and Soda. 

  (On the other side of the coin, I like the idea of Dally and Steve having had a bit of a fling that they don’t talk about as a way of repressing their romantic feelings for Soda and Johnny respectively. But that’s not always canon to me lol.)

Ships in the Night

Wolverine and The X-Men is wonderful but also SO 2000's coded wtf- I mean I'm not surprised, it came out in 2008 but mY GOD. Please watch it. If not for Liam O Brian flexing the accent than at least for Logan's riz. BTW, I am on board with Wanda and Kurt as a ship BC of this show. No, I am not going to elaborate... here. Later tho.

Anyway, I am learning that no Kurt is safe from my love but at the same token I am falling for Hank McCoy and I can't slow the acceleration. Someone, please help-

Tags for this little adventure: Panic/Anxiety attack. Very girl talk. So sorry but I am leaning into the 2000's cliches with this interaction of Kurt. Hopefully, this is multiple parts? Not gonna promise but I got Ideas with this bad boy.

"You know you're obvious right?" Pixie mumbles under her breath. It's been three days since the ship was saved from not just the sleazy men who promised to transport you all to Genosha, but also those pirates. Between books, card games, and entertaining Sammy, the only kid on the ship; the voyage has been very dull. By all means that should be a blessing, but there is only so much to do when there are two more days of open ocean to venture. That's probably why people have been looking for something new to talk about.

"Don't play dumb. And don't be surprised. I've seen that look before..." Your new best friend counters while whipping a guardrail. Pixie is unlike any girl you've ever confided in. Although she's a bit shy thanks to the best of homeschooling and the worst of public, she's one hell of a spitfire once you got to know her. Looking back on it, her pink hair was enough of a sign that she was unabashed in who she was- for better and for worse.

You sigh under your breath as you wring out your mop. You and your newest friend volunteered to clean around the ship to fill the time. But now the book you've reread twice is more tempting than ever. "You and your romance novels..." You mumble. "CMon Y/n, it's obvious! You've been avoiding him like the plague!" Her beautiful butterfly wings extend in exasperation. Meanwhile, her hands settle on her hips. You can only groan as any words can and would be used against you to support this baseless claim. "Y/n!" They whine, making you sigh and pinch the bridge of your nose.

Has the X-Man entered and exited your mind in shadowy poofs? No. More like he wanders in, stays a bit... but leaves! Begrudgingly leaves, but leaves all the same! And so what he's charming and kind, and his accent is hypnotic... just like those eyes...

But it doesn't mean anything! It won't mean anything! Because he's a superhero and you were just lucky to be saved by him. Thats it! It doesn't make you special or anything. You're just another passenger on a ship he just so happened to rescue and now escort to its destination. It's no biggie. 'Probably another Tuesday for him if you got the nerve to ask.

"Look, I get you're a fan of The Duke and I but-" She turns back quickly to point her finger in your face "Leave Daphne and Simon out of this! I am talking about you and tall, dark, and-" The door to the room creeks open, making the commotion stop as the subject of conversation pokes his head into the room. "I'm sorry but did I hear The Duke and I?" Nightcrawler questions with the start of a smile. Your skin shifts to a golden shade of yellow from the nerves, making Pixie glance at you with a knowing smirk. To the astute, it would look like your skin matched his eyes.

Nightcrawler looks between the two of you. "Oh ah, I'm sorry, was I interrupting something?" He asked, genuinely curious. Just as you were about to your mouth, Pixie beat you to answering the million-dollar question. "We were talking about The Duke and I!" She said with way too much enthusiasm. You shoot her a pleading look that she promptly ignores. "Ah! I love that book." He marvels. The way his eyes light up forces you to fight another color change. "I must confess, Julia Quinn's repertoire is somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine." He mutters as his tail curls. Pixie gasps, making you smile a little at how endearing your friend can be. Even when she is being nosy.

"Oh really? What do you think of Simon?" He smiles wide. "He has a special place in my heart! His and Daphne's banter is wonderful! And his motivation- unique and timely!" Pixie smiles wider, if that's even possible, "You know I have been trying to get Y/n into the series, but she's more of a movie lover-" You roll your eyes playfully. "Not true! I enjoyed the Harry Potter books and Twilight!" Pixie groans as you smirk. "Those are so overrated!" You glance to Nightcrawler, who's chuckling at your antics. The feeling of fighting the change makes your fingers tingle with numbness. "You have a very mainstream taste." He notes. You only chuckle while you shrug. "Nothing wrong with that. There's a reason why things are mainstream. If things are good then they're good. Although..." You shiver at the memory. "What happened to Jacob in the Twilight book was not it." Nightcrawler raises a brow "What happened to him? Did he not get with Bella?" Pixie gags before coughing out "Worse."

You smile knowingly. "Trust me when I say, you don't wanna know. If you do, wait for the movies to catch up. Hopefully, they fix what happened to my guy." He gives you a look before shrugging it off. "I'll take your advice then." Pixie jumps up and down "Ooo! Wait! We should see it together!" Nightcrawler gives a surprised look while you raise a brow. "Do you think Genosha has movie theaters?" The smaller girl asks hopefully. "I thought you didn't like Twilight?" she sighs "Well, no... but it's something you like. And you're my friend!"

Something about that hits you somewhere you didn't expect as your shoulders relax. As the declaration sets in, your throat gets tighter. Although you don't know why or how, something about this feels wrong. It shouldn't but it did. Even though you felt lighter and the world brighter, this just felt different. No. No that's not right.

It felt like a long time coming. Something about this.

"Y/n?"

You blink away from wherever you were to see Pixie and Nightcrawler giving you concerned looks. "Are you okay mein freund?" He asks as he sets a gentle hand on your shoulder. The amplified heat coursing through your body seems to rush to your face all at once. "Y/n, you look like a firetruck..." Pixie mumbles as she gets closer to check you out. "Talk to us," she quietly pries as she takes your hand. Your gaze flicks between them and their touches while your throat dries up. All you could do was just look at them with emotion-filled looks as you struggle to communicate. They only look to you expectantly, their concern running deeper with every passing moment.

Shaking your head seems to get the message across as the dryness in your throat moves down your esophagus. Nightcrawler looks between you and Pixie before looking back at you. "Y/n, you can still see and hear us, right? Your vision isn't blurring or anything?" You nod while sending a squeeze Pixie's way. "Kurt, I don't know what's going on..." panic drips into her voice. Kurt keeps his eyes on you. "Y/n, you're not allergic to anything, are you? I just want to make sure of something before we get you some help." You shake your head quickly, making your vision blur even after you stop. "Okay, Pixie, stay here with Y/n. I'll be right back." He mutters before disappearing into the shadows.

With him gone, you let yourself hold onto Pixie tighter as a surge of fear floods you. "Hey, hey- Y/n! What going on?" You force yourself to speak, only for it to come out as a croak. "I don't know," She glances between you and the door only to move you to the wall. "Just sit down okay?" She mumbles nervously. Obliging is the only thing to do as your fingers and feet give way to numbness. "Talk to me." Pixie joins you on the floor shortly afterward. "Try to talk to me okay?" Your voice comes out weakly. "It's getting hard to breathe, my hands and feet are numb, s-same with my face,... Pixie, I don't know what's going on."

Pixie gently nudges you. "Hey, hey, it's okay. You're okay Y/n. I'm not leaving you." She hesitates before touching your arm lightly. "Is this okay?" Your shaking your head makes her immediately retract her hand. "Okay. Is there anything I can do? Maybe distract you until kurt gets back?"

With no other ideas, you only nod. "Okay, um... So, that Kurt guy huh?" You sigh as your skin shifts to a light pink. "We are not talking about that." You groan, making Pixie smile a little. Even though it's at your expense, you manage to smile as well. "Okay, okay, fine... how about... what are we gonna do when we get to Genosha?" You close your eyes and sigh "What do you even think Genosha is like?" You mutter. She sighs along. "Hopefully warm. It's an island, right? So nice beaches are a must." The buzzing sensation in your feet seems to mute the longer you linger on this thought. "Long days in the sun, rainy days indoors..." Pixie nudges you with a soft addition "A spot of tea by the fire." Salty sea air drags into your lungs, reminding you where you are. "No more police sirens." You whisper while your hands intertwine over your chest. "No more fear on the TV." She assures. "No more running."

"No more judgment." Your gaze breaks away from your hands to see Kurt lingering in the doorway with a glass of water and a blanket. "No more running." He chides while taking slow steps toward you. The glass of water is offered to you after he takes a knee. Pixie gently takes the blanket from him to wrap it around you. Meanwhile, you give Kurt an appreciative look while sipping the cold water. "Take it slow, you're okay," Pixie assures. All you can do is close your eyes as you set down your glass. Tears you didn't know you had start to flow from a place you haven't felt in a long time. "This is a safe space," Kurt mutters. A hand sets itself on your shoulder as you curl into yourself. "Oh, Y/n..." You hear from Pixie before an all-encompassing acceptance grounds you.

Hugs never felt this good.

[antimony-medusa]

Okay this is 100% discourse, so maybe avert your eyes if you don't want to see me wail at the heavens, but for a fandom so anxious about boundaries, we haven't actually been very good in practice at respecting the actual stated boundaries the streamers put down, and I think it shows what we're actually policing, which is not things to make the streamers comfortable, it's stuff to make us comfortable.

This ranges from inventing new boundaries for people (you can't use neopronouns for ranboo, their pronouns are he/they; there's no boundaries on dark content for streamers so obviously we have to invent and enforce dark sbi rules ourselves) and then harassing people based on those boundaries that we just made up, to ignoring the actual things that the streamers said if we don't agree with them (cc!dream said he was uncomfortable with gore art back during the revolutionary war/exile but he's a villain, right, so we can just do whatever we want with the character, right?) and just doing whatever we want.

This is a recurring problem, with people violently policing boundaries that the fandom has all agreed on, to the point of doxxing and harassment and death threats, and ignoring boundaries that they have decided "don't make sense".

Like here's the example I put in the tags earlier, which is Technoblade related. Everyone knows that family dynamic is great and shipping is a no-go, right? But if you actually go looking for the clips, (or listen to streams in the background recursively while you're doing other things), you'll find that what Technoblade said about shipping was that it was "kinda cringe" (I think the list of things he said was cringe included reading percy jackson books and talking like you're better at video games than you actually are), and he was MUCH stronger in saying that he didn't like family dynamic in canon, saying that he didn't like it, that it was non-canon, and he'd never betray his family like that.

But if you look at the entire "found family" tag on Ao3, 19,860 stories, Technoblade is tagged into 29% of them. That's 5,760 fics just blowing right past what Technoblade said. Boom. Taking that character from his political anarchist setting and setting him right down in a royalty au w. younger siblings.

Because obviously a family dynamic isn't actually going to hurt someone's feelings or make them feel weird, the fandom has agreed, so what he must mean was that saying that family dynamic was actual literal canon is the only bad thing (I have been clotheslined by family dynamic written into stuff tagged as "canon compliant" multiple times as well,) and we can continue with the fun family stuff, right? Because someone saying they don't like family dynamic doesn't make Sense, in the way that I like it, the fandom has agreed, so we can just ignore that clip. Honestly I think that a ton of people have no idea that Technoblade ever said anything negative about family dynamic, because that clip is never brought out or talked about. I literally only know about it because I've watched that stream.

Meanwhile, the much less firmly stated boundary when it comes to shipping is absolutely doubled down on and brought out to justify mobbing people off the internet, because everyone already knows that shipping is bad and terrible and tainted and horrible to do and we don't like it, so even the slightest indication that it's out has to be grabbed and used to police people. So that everyone can be very to sure themselves that what they're doing is not weird, and the streamers are okay with it, and if I showed them my fic they'd say they liked it.

They're not going to give the Ok to your fic, because the fic isn't FOR them, and it shouldn't be. It's for the other weird fans who can't stop thinking about the block men characters, it's not for the actors. The actors have their own lives, leave them alone.

To be clear, I am not saying that we should stop writing family dynamic to respect Technoblade's feelings. Among other things, I don't think he's checking his character tag on Ao3 right now. But like, I've talked before about the way that boundaries culture ends up working in practice, and how constantly bringing problems up to streamers just ends up showing them all the things that are the most weird to the streamer. You only have to look at what most of Benchtrio has done in terms of boundaries, which has been transitioning from very explict boundaries with details on everything to just saying "just use your manners," stopping answering questions, and telling people to actually think about what they're showing the streamer instead of expecting someone to weigh in on it for them.

But even when it comes to the boundaries that we do have, that we know about, the way people enforce them seems to be less about actually respecting what the creators like, and more about making sure we're morally pure and never have to see something that we personally don't like, and we don't happen to have any of that nasty boys kissing content in our work, because we all know that's terrible. (And as someone who's seen crackdowns on LGBTQIA content several times, that certainly has unfortunate overtones.)

As long as it's all kept away from the creators, I really think that fluffy cuddly family dynamic and kissing fic and hardcore whump all falls into the category of "not for the creators, they might find that one weird, but you do you". Like keep it away from the streamers, use your brain, but like, it's all a bit weird and for fun. Let it be weird and for fun in a secluded part of the internet, keep it away from the streamers, tag your shit for people who don't want to see it, and go to town.

So just like, I really think that "creator boundaries" should be more about using your brain as to what you show the streamer, and less about harassing someone off the internet cause they drew kissing art.

Get to know your mutuals / Fandom Folks to Get to Know Better

Tagging @ithillia @justanotherdikutsimp I decide to combine both of your inquiry/tag together as some question were in both.

It took me time to answer properly to every question! 😅

What's the origin of your blog name? Is that just your username?

Nocturius is my artist-name since my edgy teenager years. As I still draw Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Steampunk/Horror, I think the name work fine for all that. I tried different things when i was at University but nothing really sticks. It's non-binary, it give a vibe. No one cares. I use Nocturius or Noctaël in most of my online presence.

For 8015Ficore, it's pretty obvious. I've put the 8015 for RC-8015 ''Fi'' in the name to separate from Nocturius. I didn't want a letters salad. ''ficore'' for Fi-Core, which is my coresona on FB and Bluesky.

I hope that my blog name is clear enough it's about that dumb clone and also my artist name being clear for the out-of-character/artist talking, like now.

3 OTP+Ship name/First ship ever/3 Ships I like

Well, I gonna combine those questions because I'm not a shipper. I don't speculate much about couple or potential couples in a story. I don't imagine them with different person than what's in the canon. It's not what drives me in writing fanfictions/drawing fanarts. I'm cool with people doing it tho. Each person their hobbies.

Favorite color

For a long time that was more of a green-leaves. Like this:

But nowadays it's more like teal or turquoise. Those rocks made my brain very happy, especially the greenish ones with some stripes of yellow.

Favorite game:

I would say Stardew Valley is a nice one, but I want to talk about a very underrated one on the NES. A Zelda-like game called Crystalis from 1990.

Song stuck in your head:

Ahh... I have many. Usually some Pokémon themes, Final Fantasy or Kirby.

Last song heard:

I had to find that song about Kirby so...

I would say I like that channel with chipmusic a lot. Not all tunes are good, but it's a great filler for when I draw. Ehmm, yeah, I'm a lot into videogame music. Music with lyrics distract me.

Weirdest habit/trait:

I have some minor form of pica disorder. That might be a offshoot of my general anxiety disorder or in the list of ''Am I autistic?'' traits. Not enough to cause me real problems but it's there. I'm a terrible nails/skins biter. I do other weird stuff that can go under the dermatophagia I won't elaborate here.

When I was in elementary school, I used to often eat paper, fibers, eraser bits and wood. Well, I actually eat a tiny bit of paper just the day before i wrote those words and I use toothpick way too often to say it's totally gone. 😅😰

If you work, what's your profession?

I don't really have a job for now. Mental health is complicated. But I draw and write stuff. Sometimes people support me on Patreon (in French) and Ko-fi (in English) or ask for Art Commission.

Hobbies:

As drawing and writing are kinda my career, I would say hobbies for me is watching shows, reading comics/books and very amateur needle work (knitting/crochet/cross-stiches)

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

I just wish I could have enough energy and mental health stability to do my things regularly. If I could draw/write at least 4h/day every day, I would be happy. But someday, the best thing I can do is a cheap meme and I had to learn to accept my limitations and be proud of those small achievements.

Something you're good at:

Brainstorming stuff. I'm a ideas factory.

Something you're bad at:

Respecting deadlines and schedules. That gives me anxiety.

Something you love:

CLONES.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff:

Doctor Who. The whole thingy since 1963.

Something you hate:

AI generative stuff and disinformation.

Something you collect:

I used to collect books and comics for a while. Books of sci-fi/fantasy, animals and arts. I liked the idea of having a house filled with a personal library. But moving a lot as a student, flat to flat, made me reconsider my priorities. As I'm full on grown-up person lol, I decide to have a more curated one. Trying to ''KonMarie'' my collection with, still a lots of books, but less of the stuff I will never read. (often books people gave me). Sometimes I give the books that sparkle the less to my local  ''box library'' (public box where you can pick books or leave books)

Something you forget

I don't forget it often, but sometimes I forget to take my meds. It's just stuff for my thyroid but that make me feel weird when I skip it.

What's your love language

I'm a simple person. I like to care about people, making sure they are warm and cozy. Like with a blanket or a hot drink. Offering moral support. Since I created Fi-Core I realized how much I like to make people laugh and lift them up. My closest friends can only be reached online, so my love for them go through drawings and sharing pet pictures. I like to connect with people through art and sharing about life and feelings.

Favorite movie/show:

The Bad Batch

Favorite food:

Sushi and blueberries. Can those be combined? Oh certainly!

Favorite animal:

I love many animals. As a kid I was very fascinated by reptiles and snakes. Nowadays I'm happy with my two cats. I'm also an amateur beekeeper.

What were you like as a child:

I was feisty and nerdy. Didn't get along with the girls as an afab and wasn't accepted by the boys. I was bullied a lot and barely had friends. I had imaginary ones to keep me company. Books and my drawings. I don't have much good memories from my childhood.

Favorite subject at school:

History and later, art history.

Last Favorite subject:

French and English. I'm proud to be bilingual today but it's all my own work. I had a hard time learning English, very hard. French is my main language but the grammar always felt like it make no sense till university where I got actual explanations on some of the stuff.

What's your best character trait?

I don't know. I have the self-esteem of a shoe with a hole in it. I guess my sense of humor is probably in the top 5.

What's your worst character trait?

Way too much self-hatred I have to deal with daily.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

If I was able to have proper restful night, that would be very game changing.

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

Maybe... Mary Shelley? She sound like someone I would get along with.

Favorite Childhood Book:

No idea. I read many things as a kid, but before my teenager years I didn't have a favorite one. I remember I was mostly fascinated by my father's books, atlas, dinosaurs and natural science themed encyclopedia.

Currently Reading:

Republic Commando? Yeah Republic Commando. I always need to dig deeper in it.

Currently Watching:

We watch The Rookie with family, Rebels with my vod Mamuzzy and the Gundam franchise with my friend TIE Brute-Core.

Currently Consuming:

I'm a very sober person. Never get drunk or high.

Currently Craving:

Sushi, always. It took me super long to answer this! Hope people will be interesting with it. 😅 I tried to be as honest as I can. I probably shoudn't. Oh well!

hobbies

I have gone through so many hobbies over the past few years. Journaling, baking, chess, writing, etc. The one I've stuck with the longest has to be gaming. I'm also trying to get back into reading, but I'm so bad at managing my time & prioritizing that.

I work for a nonprofit & I do a little bit of everything. Mostly behind the scenes work/paper work - but in the past year I've taken on a bigger role with clients.

if you could have any job you wish, what would you have?

Unemployed and paid for it. Genuinely would like to not work, but instead volunteer in my community with my own hours. But if that's not an option... Librarian... in the right setting. My internship was an actual nightmare & I faced sooooo many challenges. I think I'd like to be a librarian in an older community

something you're good at

People - I've always been pretty good at communicating and working with people. Which might sound like a stupid thing to say?? But I'm 99% sure the only reason I still have my job is because most of the people that work with love me and talk me up so much.

something you hate

People. I really like my job right now because it's mostly behind the scenes. My boss pushed me into taking on a different role with clients because he knew they'd like me - and it's kinda been a lot. People can be super exhausting & draining - and staying positive and empathetic while you're drained is hard. I'm also suuuper introverted and when I'm out with people I need like a solid 4 hours of alone time when I get home.

something you forget

everything. I genuinely have the worst memory in the world. Like every now and then I see who I'm mutuals with and it's like when did that happen???

your love language

Time. Someone choosing to use their time on me >>>>>

favorite movies/tv shows

Movies: Pearl, Monkey Man, Catwoman (2004), Scream, The Dressmaker, Halloween TV Shows: The Glory, Law & Order SVU, Golden Girls, Charmed, The Haunting of Hill House

what were you like as a child

Super kind & trusting - but also so stupid. When I was 7 I started my own personal library and gave out my books to other kids with a note that had a return date - I only got a few back

favorite subject in school

Depends on the year. Middle School I was in advanced math and it was so fun.

High School I'd say history College I took a few religion courses and had the best time of my life. I think that was partly because the professor was an actual saint and I think about her very often. She had a few courses that focused on sexuality/gender & religion and they were mind blowing.

least favorite subject in school

Chemistry. Worst time of my life.

what's your best/worst character trait

Best: Empathetic. I'm a good listener & can be a good person to vent to. Worst: Perpetually anxious & can be a bit of a bitch in the right situations. Actually a lot of a bitch. Actually many people close to me would & have used the word cunt. But!!! I'm super lovable!!!

if you could change any detail of your life rn, what would it be?

I'd want a little more job security (thanks government...)

if you could travel in time, who would you want to meet?

I don't think I'd want to travel in time honestly? I'm also not like big on meeting famous people. I mean maybe I'd want to go back and meet Phyllis Schlafly and be like hey what the fuck

PROMPTS GAME (BECAUSE I'M BORED, WANT TO WRITE MORE AND TRYING TO BE MORE SOCIAL 🙂) The prompts are not all mine, mostly found in Pinterest based from Tumblr posts. I write mostly gay ships because I'm gay, but I'm open to pretty much everything. I am open to write about Marauders Era, Harry Potter, Dead poets society and Avatar the last airbender.

Popular boy is totally in love with the nerd. The nerd doesn't now, his best friends have been telling him that for years (the poor idiot :) )

Dude why did the siren take my face in the intention of making you drown. Do we have to talk about something ?

Captain and vice captain of a ship marry. It's someone of the crew that officiate them. (Those are real laws apparently.)

SONG FIC (my love.) Specify if I can choose or witch one you want.

Rich person x rich person = conservative family = found family and running away.

Pictures of luck.

Until forevers falls apart (angst and based of the song.)

BABY FIC (Single parents finds love.)

Coffee and books (nerd edition.)

Rival academia to lovers (Murder mysteries edition.)

Ennemies to lovers.

Best friend to lovers.

We aren't neither best friends nor in a relationship we are a secret third think that will haunt us forever because we couldn't find the courage to tell each other and now we are done.

Thinking about the fact we will never be more than this and I don't think I want to try being more than this.

Party vibes, I will kiss you and then tomorrow you won't be there.

I love you, I love you, I love you, but YOU love them. And I want to hate them, but I understand why do you love them. And I want to have both of you but I will never be able to have that.

Kiss me so I forget that you won't be there tomorrow in the morning, kiss me so I don't forget we were doom form the start, kiss me so I forget that we we were right we should never had happen.

Jock and the nerd boy that hakes people for fun. Older sister is a cheerleader and is dating a jock - he's their adopted son :) (because family issues.)

Everything that happens is being filmed and they don't know. (The public will learn in the future.)

Overdoses and bad decisions. (You can decide if they die or not.)

Ghosts.

LARA'S OC WILL RULE THE WORLD.

[mementokore]

oooooh thank you for tagging me @snoopyviktor 💕

Get to know your mutuals!

Questions under the cut so the post won't get too long (because my answers will be too long either way, I cannot control my yapping) ✨️

What's the origin of your blog title? It originated from my gamertag "Memento Mori" (I've already made a whole post about why I chose that one somewhere here on this blog) and often found it already used on social media since it isn't an uncommon phrase, so I decided to swap "mori" with "kore" because Kore is one of the names of Greek Goddess Persephone - and what can I say, I relate a lot to the Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld, who is somehow both cottagecore and edgy, and if she can be both so can I

OTP(s) + Shipname: Oh god so many... I guess atm mostly Jayvik (Jayce & Viktor, Arcane), I've always shipped Destiel (Dean & Castiel, Supernatural), then of course there is Stolitz (Stolas & Blitzø, Helluva Boss) and Ineffable Husbands (Crowley & Aziraphale, Good Omens) but I honestly believe I have at least one OTP for every fandom and I cannot name them all here or it would take too long

Favorite colour: Never make a bisexual choose, but mostly blue, red, purple (and black if it counts as a colour)

Favourite game: Destiny 2 most certainly, Overwatch (2) more often than it is healthy, the whole Assassin's Creed franchise, Baldur's Gate 3, Minecraft (for 2 weeks a year), the Uncharted games, and games like Phasmophobia or Lethal Company where you can mess with your friends haha

Song stuck in your head: As of late I don't have that one song that I literally have to listen to 24/7 or I'll die, but a few are on repeat, like Bite Marks (League of Legends), To Ashes and Blood (Arcane), The Seed (Aurora), and The Kids Are All Rebels (Lenii)

Weirdest habit/trait? Uhhhhh probably that I always ask friends to do things like speak and order for me because of social anxiety, but as soon as I feel like they can't clearly convey what I mean (which is almost all the time because they cannot read my mind) my anxiety gets magically overridden and suddenly I can speak

Hobbies: Writing, reading, gaming, bouldering, swimming

If you work, what's your profession? I am not working yet, still studying Game Design

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? I'd love to be an author! Or at least be in Narrative Design for a game

Something you're good at: Writing, I hope, world building, character building and all that stuff. And helping friends by talking them through their emotions, at least according to my bf

Something you're bad at: Socialising, or maybe my anxiety makes me think that, but it always feels like I'm choosing the wrong dialogue options. Just ... talking in general. Finding the right words is easy when written, but not when spoken

Something you love: Art in any shape and form, mostly writing and drawing and music. Entertainment, be it shows or movies or games. Travelling, seeing the world. Nature. The sky. Animals. There's so much to love and so little time (and money).

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: Probably anything that is considered "deep" or "philosophical" because I love thinking about and discussing topics that don't have a clear right or wrong answer or solution. Like emotions, psychology, space,... Oh, and other than that: OCs and story ideas. With the right person, I can talk about those literally without end

Something you hate: Mosquitoes, that you cannot be instantly good at something, genAI, probably so many things

Something you collect: Uhh I guess the closest I am getting to actually collecting something is me trying to own all of the Assassin's Creed games, and of course other books, shows, movies and games I like. I own quite a few blades too, like daggers, karambits, katanas and so on. And bow and arrows. They are pretty ✨️

Something you forget: Everything all the time. No, I am not joking

What's your love language? Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation

Favourite movie/show: Oh god so many. Some of my all-time-favs are Gladiator, Inception, LotR, Hobbit, Pirates of the Caribbean, John Wick, a few Marvel movies up until Endgame, HTTYD, Supernatural, Doctor Who, Hazbin Hotel, OUAT, ... I could go on for ages. And don't even get me started on anime

Favourite food: Uhh, Semmelknödel are pretty yummy, not sure what they're called in English or if there even is a word for them. Anything without meat (I don't like the texture) and with cheese and maybe garlic will probably do. Or something with potatoes. Or Ramen. Pasta. Chocolate cake. Cherries. Pomegranate. Okay forget it, I am hungry

Favourite animal: Cats, absolutely, and ravens/crows. Dogs and horses are great too!

What were you like as a child? I have been told I never really smiled at other people as a child (in contrast to my younger brother, who smiled at everyone), but instead just looked at them. Apparently I used to be quite confident and extroverted, holding speeches in front of other kids on the playground. That was before social anxiety and depression, and I don't really remember any of that

Favourite subject at school? Probably German (my native language) and English. I love writing and there I could do it. But all in all, every subject was interesting until they graded it

Least favourite subject: Maths. Heh. Cliché, maybe, but at some point I just didn't see a point in learning that shit, so I wasn't interested in it. I'm good at simple math and that's all I need in life

What's your best character trait? Uhh, empathy and compassion, maybe? I try to be the person who is helpful and kind, who is there for everyone who seems to need it. And I will defend the people I love without a second thought, verbally and physically

What's your worst character trait? Ooh I can definitely be selfish or stubborn in certain situations. I try to recognize it and be better. What I personally think is the worst though are trust issues, self-doubt and insecurity

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be? I'd love to have money and influence, not because I wanna be rich and control everything, but because I think everyone deserves to be able to live their lives to the fullest and that's how I could make it happen. I want everyone to be able to use the one life they have on this earth to do things they enjoy. Be creative, relax, travel, live wherever you want, as long as you are kind and respect other people, I don't care what you do. Go and enjoy your time on this planet

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet? Oh damn, I'm not sure I wanna meet any specific person. I'm more interested in just observing and being able to see for myself what past times were like. I'd love to see it all without interfering, just soaking up the atmosphere and vibes

Tag as many mutuals as you want!! Okay oof me and my brain trying to remember my mutuals' names uhh just gonna *scrolls through follower list* @lokirulesmidgard @tomboydweeb @banditsandbookworms @walkthefallout @hydrate-or-dydrate @death-blxssom @lelet-draws @unlucky-phantom @taniks-the-final-shape @kytty27 @hlz0s

I hope I didn't forget anyone and if I did or if someone wants to do it even though we aren't mutuals, feel free to go for it anyway! I'd love to find some new mutuals this way, too ✨️

[kanerallels]

bestie!! Can you tell me about your book, Land of Tales? I may have just stalked the tag for a solid forty minutes and I’m dying to know more (I LOVE me some good fairytale retellings)

BESTIE I LOVE YOU FOR SENDING ME THIS ASK I'm so so honored?? Thank you so much!! (also same we love fairy tale retellings they're amazing)

OKAY SO! I'm gonna give you a brief overview of the book in case you didn't see what it's about, then I'll do some fun facts because I deserve it as a treat and I'm hyperfixating on my own book series right now (and also Valiant. Minor detail. LET'S MOVE ON)

The main plot: My girl Rebecca Wood lives on Earth, but never knew her parents. She discovers at the beginning of the book that she, and the family she never knew, is from the fairy tale world, and so she goes there with the help of this socially awkward cinnamon roll, Liam. We love Liam, and we feel bad about the amount of Horrors I put him through, including but not limited to social interactions and torture

The rest of the book is basically Rebecca and Liam's travels through Avena (fairy tale world) meeting fairy tale characters and evading the evil Empress Goldilocks (who has magic plants and fairy tale princesses for assassins). And there are more books. Or there will be. Four overall in the main series, two prequels, umm... *pauses to count* okay yeah there are a lot of stories post canon. And I've already written a handful of short stories for fun and profit!

And now it's fun facts about some of the characters time:

Cinderella is, as mentioned, an assassin! She has fabulous fashion taste, glass shoes that can morph into any shoe type she wants, and is incredibly sadistic. Her husband Gavin is what would happen if Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, Schimdt from New Girl, and Oscar from The Rookie were fused into one incredibly vain, lazy person who wore a lot of capes

Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk is a pirate (occasionally of the sky). He's married to a future seer who basically tricked him into taking her hostage the first time they met, and has two kids. They are utter gremlins and we love them

Alec and Risha, who I've been talking about lately, are from Camelot. Risha's dad is Sir Gareth, aka Gawain's cool brother. In my series, the people of Camelot have Australian accents because why not?

OH MY GOSH I JUST THOUGHT OF A CHARACTER I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT ON HERE okay his name is Bob. It's short for uhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm gonna be straight with y'all I don't remember his full name. It's really long. But he's the Magic Mirror from Snow White! He's a cursed prince who likes shipping his best friend with her love interest, and boba tea (if it exists in this universe. I shall ponder this) and he's just a little chaos gremlin and I would die for him

Somehow, every single ship in this series is enemies to lovers (except Alec and Risha, slow burn friends to idiots in love my beloved) and it's really funny to me. They're all different flavors of enemies to lovers, too. We've got "coworkers who annoy the crap out of each other to lovers", "I tried to kill your friends that one time and am involved in the organization that killed your brother but now we're working together and technically I'm engaged but it's a engagement of convenience and we're connecting to lovers", and one of my personal favorites, "you forced me to take you hostage that one time and now I'm stuck with you which is really annoying to lovers". There are, believe it or not, others

One more fun fact for the road: I have a book planned that's set after the series, and it's a combination of no less than three fairy tales at once. Possibly more, for all I know

Oh, and actually last of all! The first book in the series, which I shall not reveal the title of just yet because DRAMA, is finished! All polished up and shiny, and I'm currently looking into publishing options and cover artists! (also my girl a.spice is doing illustrations I can't wait for you guys to see them they're incredible)

10 people I'd like to get to know better

Last song: Love, Me Normally by Will Wood. I've been kind of on a Will Wood rotation lately lmao.

Favourite colour: Purple, cause ace colors. I mostly like pastels.

Last book: Body's a Bad Monster by Rowan Perez. I just randomly found it in a bookstore, and it's a really intense read, but I liked it.

Last movie: Nickel Boys! I'm slowly going through Oscar-nominated films, and the fact that Nickel Boys wasn't even nominated for Best Cinematography is an absolute crime.

Last TV show: White Lotus. I'm only on the first few episodes, and I'm not really that into it yet. I'm mostly watching to get to the canon incest that people keep talking about.

Last thing I googled: I'm currently at work, so it's deadass "What to do if touchpad remains active after disabling the setting" because that's how how-to articles are written in the year of our lord 2025.

Looking forward to: I got really good tickets for the Into the Woods production here in Manila, and it has an absolutely stacked cast for absolutely no reason and for way too low of a price lmao. Lea Salonga's gonna be there as well as a couple of other Broadway actors, her brother's gonna lead the orchestra, Kaki Teodoro is also there for a role that doesn't even have a solo verse 😭😭😭

It's still a few months away, but god I am so excited for it.

Current obsession: Currently documenting every single time Castiel is mentioned or appears in Supernatural. This is uh. Definitely an act of insanity. But it is going.

(Fun Fact: Castiel was actually first mentioned in season 3, episode 6 "Red Sky Morning" aka the ghost ship episode! I don't really think this matters in any way, it's just a weird coincidence, but it's just a cool thing.)

You sweet summer child...

[acourtofthought]

Hate that you’re getting hate anons but loving the absolutely savage responses 😂

Gwynriels have been throwing shade at Eluciens for ages. I used to be in the “Elucien-Gwynriel facebook group,” and any time I had a different opinion I got shut down. I said Lucien hasn’t done anything wrong and I got shade from Gwynriels saying he betrayed Feyre and all this bs even tho Feyre literally took advantage of Lucien to piss off Tamlin and got him harassed by Ianthe again. I’ve seen Gwynriels shitting on Elain for being a bad mate while simultaneously stanning the Inner Circle who canonically have done worse to their mates. They call Elain underdeveloped because her character development is more subtle and her whole arc surrounds people underestimating her.

I love Gwyn, but she isn’t all that developed either! Yes, she has a backstory and a last name, but she has gone back to the library. I don’t blame her, recovery isn’t linear. But atp I don’t know what her storyline would be. AND…we only know her as this perfect girl who befriended Nesta. In order for Gwyn to be a well-rounded character, she has to have flaws, which we haven’t seen yet! Gwyn only just entered the story in ACOSF, and Az had like. 2 lines before ACOSF. They’ll call Elain boring but stan Azriel as this uwu hot shadow daddy when his whole personality rn is him hating himself for *checks notes* willingly being Rhysand’s torturer and not having a mate yet.

Not to mention Gwynriels passive-aggressively telling us their book is “obviously” next in our tags any time an Elucien tries to make an argument that our book is next. Like ok…we’re allowed to believe our book is next.

Not that I don’t know chill Gwynriels! But in my experience it has always been the Az stans who are propagating this “ship war.”

They just kept coming and I just kept getting more irritated, lol.

I had to leave that Facebook group too because the Elain slander was insane. I figured that when joining, it would be a safe place for both ships but survey says that was wrong.

And just to reclarify (and to your last comments), there are so many amazing Gwynriels in this fandom. The ones who love Elain and those who might not love Elain but are still respectful in how they tag. But I know from talking with other Eluciens, we have all been subject to the other ones. The ones who are on an Anti Elain agenda brought about by their hatred of E/riels. They might not be an Elain fan on their own but E/riels have made it twenty times worse for them so they constantly go out of their way to trash Elain in an effort to argue against the E/riels who trash Gwyn. But Eluciens are in the crossfire because of their constant tagging of Elain and Elucien. Some Gwynriels post that anyone who believes Elain is next is stupid, delusional, etc. without stopping to consider how that feels for their "allies" the Eluciens to read. That's why the "we're on the same side" argument feels performative because I am on the side of Pro Elain and Pro Lucien so Elain slander does not make me feel like we're on the same side. I can respect they don't care for Elain but don't sit there and try to tell me we're on the same team and I owe it to them to support their ship in the way they support their ship.

And Gwyn is great but honestly, this fandom makes you feel like you can NEVER say a single word that isn't hearts and rainbows and pure positive energy about Gwyn. I know she's set up for something more, I imagine she's set up to be Az's mate, but I am honestly scared half the time to point out that I do think she's a bit one dimensional right now (as you mentioned). It's ok for them to say Elain is boring, useless, has no personality, underdeveloped, not as nice as she seems, and so on but all hell breaks loose if anyone suggests that they'd personally like to see a little more for the Gwynriel buildup before getting their book. It's like a four letter word, even suggesting that in our opinion Elucien has been cooking for much longer and is therefore a good pairing to have the next book. I've never heard of such a thing in a fandom, getting such hate for believing in the possibility of your preferred ship being next. E/riels and some Gwynriels are gatekeeping the next book and if you dare say otherwise, you're the problem.

GET TO KNOW YOUR MUTUALS

Tagged by: the super cool @sam-reid (thank you!)

What’s the origin of your username?: I wanted a new one (I can't even remember my old one now???) and it just came to me, I don't know. Deserts are full of snakes, snakes have fangs... vampires have fangs.

OTP(s) + ship name: My OTP of all time is Armand/Daniel (Devil's Minion) and they have been for like... years and years. I've also fallen in love with Marius/Daniel (Maridan) in the last few years. But I ship a lot of the VC ships. My (primary) OT3s are Armand/Daniel/Lestat and Marius/Armand/Daniel. I don't think they have names. BroTP w/ benies? Lestat/Daniel all the way.

Favorite color: Purple. I don't wear a lot of it (I mostly wear black... lifetime goth) but if I'm buying something other than clothes and it comes in purple, that's the color I'm getting.

Song stuck in your head: The Giver by Chappell Roan.

Weirdest habit/trait: I talk to myself more than I should.

Hobbies: Writing, Reading, Baking, Video Games

If you work, what’s your profession?: I work at a real estate tech company doing back end support stuff. It's not glamorous but it pays the bills.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?: Lottery winner so I can spend my free time traveling, writing vampire nonsense, and generally enjoying life, ha! But if I could make a living at it, I'd love to write books.

Something you’re good at: I'm great at making little cheesecakes in my instant pot. Also I think I'm pretty okay at writing.

Something you hate: The state of my crumbling country and the disgusting bigotry and racism that's helping destroy it Mushrooms

Something you collect: Vampire Chronicles books with different covers, Octopus Plushies. I used to collect shot glasses from everywhere I traveled but I don't drink anymore and I gave most of the collection to a housemate when I moved - I kept the cool masquerade masks one I got in NOLA though. I've started collecting magnets when I travel instead.

Something you forget: That Rose and Viktor exist LMAO sorry That not everyone's brain works like mine and sometimes that means how I think I'm coming off is not at all how people see me

What’s your love language?: Acts of Service. I tend to do things for people to show I care or try or offer to do things. It makes me feel good to feel helpful and useful.

Favorite movie/show: Definitely into Yellowjackets right now, that show is constantly throwing me through a loop. I also recently really loved Agatha All Along - nice to see an asshole protagonist who's a woman tbh. Some of my favorite shows of all time are Community, The Walking Dead, Pushing Daisies, and The Last of Us.

Favorite movies include Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Ghostbusters, and Lilo and Stitch.

Favorite food: Probably pizza because it's so versatile but I also love sushi a lot.

Favorite animal: Octopuses. Cats. Whales.

What were you like as a child?: Aggressively undiagnosed autistic and weird. I didn't have a lot of friends but everyone would come to me to bitch about their friends when they were annoyed, lol (I guess I'm a good person to rant to.) I got better at making friends in high school, though I still struggle with it. I spent a lot of time playing with Legos and reading books.

Favorite subject at school: French.

Least favorite subject: Math. I am so bad at it it's embarrassing and the reason I didn't go into science tbh. I'd have made a kick ass geologist.

What’s your best character trait?: I'm reliable AF. If I say I'm going to do something, I will absolutely do it unless forces conspire against me.

What’s your worst character trait?: I'm stubborn and tend to self-isolate and then feel lonely and rejected even when it's my own fault. Basically I'm way more like Marius than I should probably admit

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet: Maybe Leonard Nimoy. He seems like he was a cool dude. I did see him once at a Star Trek convention but did not get to speak with him, alas.

Tagging: @leslutdepointedulac, @inexplicablepeas, @fofoqueirah, @this-writer-needs-coffee, @rebelrevenant and @tulinokkaelain (tried to avoid tagging anyone I'd already seen tagged) - and anyone else who wants to do this.
