Tag list- @southernbluebellereader (thank you so much for letting me vent about this work ily)

Funny how the worst night of your life would lead you to the best night of your life. Waking up the the blaring sounds of an alarm, you roll over and blindly grab your phone. It couldn't be 7am already can it? You tap on the screen to reveal it's only 2:47am and that sound was not your alarm. It takes you a moment to realize the ear shattering sound is coming from the fire alarm in your kitchen.

Without thinking you fling yourself out of the embrace of the covers only to be met with thick, choking, black smoke. Sputtering you being to cough and eyes filling with tears as you drop to the ground. Crawling to the door on all fours you slowly make your way across the hard vinyl flooring. Again, you mindlessly grab the door handle only to immediately fall backwards onto your back at the searing pain now flowing through your hand. A scream escapes your mouth as you look down, and even in the dark of the room you can see the charred flesh of your hand.

This is it, you think, swallowing hard. This is how you go. Scared and alone in your shitty one bedroom apartment in the same shitty town you were born. They're going to find your body on the morning news, charred and nearly unrecognizable, wearing nothing but an oversized t-shirt and panties. You let out a sob as the tears begin to fall from your eyes, mixing with the soot in the air. The burning only adds to your hysteria. Curling up into the fetal position and rocking back and forth you wait for your end.

Suddenly the door to your bedroom is smashed open, wood chips flying everywhere. You scream again and fling your eyes open. Before you stands a giant, a monster. You let out another scream and begin shuffling backwards to the corner of the room. The large creature begins moving towards you and scoops you up like you were nothing. You'd come to terms with dying and becoming a crisp but not dying to a shadow. Squirming you try to get out of the iron clad grasp holding you bridal style. "I got one, she's alive" a voice comes from the monster. Its not until you're out in the hallway that you finally notice, its not a creature, not a monster, but a man.

Piercing blue eyes look down at you from the inside of a yellow hood, crinkling into a small smile. "It's going to be ok, shhh" the thick British voice says, muffled by the gas mask protecting his face. Gulping and holding back tears, you simply nod before putting your face into his chest.

Cold air hits your thighs as you breach the exit of the apartment complex. A gasp escapes your throat and goosebumps immediately cover your body. A small chuckle escapes the figure holding you. He sets you down on the grass, far out of the reach of the fire engulfing your home. You open your eyes to look upon your savior as he kneels down to remove his mask. When he does, the world seems to move in slow motion like one of those stupid commercials.

He's simply breathtaking, from his perfect blue eyes to the well groomed beard that graces his face. "You alrigh' luv?" he asks, reaching out a gloved hand to your shoulder. His voice shakes you out of your daze, back to the harsh reality that you are half naked on the grass outside the crumbling building you used to live in.

It's such a simple question, but after everything you've just been through, it hits like a ton of bricks and tears begin to well up in your eyes again. "Thank you" you hiccup out between sobs, holding tightly onto the hand on your shoulder. He grabs you and brings you into a tight embrace. The world stops, there's no more yelling, no more burning buildings, no more sirens. Its just you and him.

"Cap? You good?" a voice breaks through your fantasy, and you whip your head around to see yet another beautiful man. This one sporting a mohawk and beautiful hazel eyes. "All good here Soap, go." your savior commands. "Soap?" you croak, a huff of a laugh escaping you. Looking back to the man holding you together, a soft smile crawls upon your lips. "Ha, yeah. Long story. You never answered me luv, you alright?" he asks, pulling away slightly to look you over, suddenly realizing just how exposed you were.

Immediately he takes off his jacket and lays it on you, offering you some small form of coverage. "'M alrigh" you respond, breathless. Truth be told, you were far from alright, but that was all you could muster. The man smiles at you and begins to get up, but before you can think you reach out and pull him back, "please... please don't leave" you whisper. His eyes widen ever so slightly, before he holds you back. "Alrigh' luv I won't leave you, cmon'" he smiles, scooping you back up and taking you to the back of the ambulance.

Setting you down in the back, he readjusts the jacket to cover your lower half before looking back up into your eyes, "Names John" he says. You look up into the eyes of the man who just saved your life, "John" you say, testing out the feeling of his name on your tongue. "That's it luv, don't wear it out now ya 'ear?" he murmurs into your ear before finally untangling himself from you. A small whine escapes your throat at the loss of contact, and a blush rises up your face as you realize that he definitely heard it. He chuckles, "alrigh' love, I need to go back to my team, will you let the paramedics check you out?" he asks, looking deep in your eyes. You swallow thickly and nod, "will you come back?" you whisper, your face growing redder by the second. "Of course, luv" he says before cupping your cheek and smiling. He drops his hand, offering you one last smile before saying, “take good care of her eh Gaz?”. He turns his back and jogs back to the firetruck.

The paramedic begins to check you out, tending to your hand. He’s also good looking; tall, muscular and sporting a baseball cap. You notice he also has a slight accent. As he grabs the gauze to wrap your hand he says, “so you didn’t pay attention in school huh?” The remark catches you off guard and you simply blink in confusion at the man, did he really just ask you that? “You shouldn’t grab metal in a fire” he chuckles, finishing your hand and giving you a pat on the shoulder.

“Guess not huh” you respond sheepishly. Not only were you almost burnt to a crisp but now you’re getting chastised for not remembering elementary school training. “Ah, we all forget things in the moment. You’ll be ight” he smiles, placing his med kit back in the ambulance. You look down at the jacket covering your bare legs, it reads in all caps “PRICE”. John Price.

Johns smiling face rounds the corner just as Gaz finishes cleaning up, “how she lookin’ kid?” he asks, looking at you. “Ah she’ll be ight cap” Gaz responds, taking the unspoken hint to slip away and leave you two alone. You absentmindedly flex your hand, the feeling of the gauze on your hand unfamiliar and coarse.

“You alright sweetheart?” John kneels to be closer to your height, his eyes looking deep into yours. “Much better now. I don’t think I’ll ever forget to not touch metal” you laugh weakly. His laugh surprises you, deep and rich. The wrinkles by his eyes deepen as he laughs.

Now that the immediate threat of dying was over, you began to notice just how attractive John was. His muscles rippling underneath the tight long sleeve made your head spin. Or maybe it was the smoke inhalation. You could make out the salt and pepper greys in his beard and hair. And to top it all off, his beautiful blue eyes. You could get lost in them, you were lost in them.

A hand waves itself infront of your face and snaps you back to reality. You’d been caught and you blushed feverishly. “Luv?” John asked, “I asked ya a question.” “Oh ah uh. Sorry. Adrenaline” you answer, eyes darting to the concrete below, trying desperately to hide your face. “I asked if you got somewhere to stay?” He questions again. “Oh. Uhm. Yeah I can get a hotel.” You say, not quite sure how you’ll afford it but you really don’t have any option. “Well then, we’ll take ya” John smiles, holding out his hand.

You grab his hand and move his jacket so it’s resting on your shoulders. He leads you back to the fire truck where the rest of his crew is waiting. “Cap?” A man in a balaclava asks. “Were just taking.. hmm didn’t catch your name luv” John looks over to you. “Oh it’s Y/N” you say, blushing once again. “Beautiful. We’re dropping Y/N off a hotel” John states, recieving nods from his crew.

The ride there is quiet, John driving, the smell of smoke suffocating the cab of the truck. All the men looked exhausted, the one they called soap dozing off. But the man in the balaclava never took his eyes off you, never waivered. You found him odd, his stare unsettling you a bit.

When you finally make it to a hotel Soap wakes and opens the door for you, where John is waiting to help you down. He leads you into the lobby and before you can speak he says “one room for the lady please” to the receptionist. The woman behind the desk smiles and says, “sure thing John” before sliding him a key.

“But wait- I need to pay!” You exclaim. John simply laughs and extends his hand out again to lead you to your room. “No need to worry luv, this is on me” he smiles. You could get lost forever in that smile, would do anything to get to see it. The walk to your room seeming all too short, he drops your hand to unlock the door and holds it open for you.

“Get some rest alright?” He says, looking down at you. All the adrenaline has evaporated from your body and all you can think about is how comfortable that bed looks. You look up to him and whisper, “thank you.” He smiles again, before gesturing you inside. “Sleep well, luv’” he murmurs before closing the door and leaving you in the darkness of the hotel room.

You don’t even remember crawling into bed or even falling asleep. When you wake, you’re comfortably in bed still in John Prices jacket.

how to accidentally get adopted - a guide by Piers Nivans (RE, Piers-centric, also background Chreon)

5. Do you respond to comments?

always! i know i missed a couple, sometimes i take ages, but i do always try to respond bc i love and cherish nice comments.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

the bad endings on three words to last forever. i still like the angstiest one the most :'D

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

lmao like everything else idk i want them happy. i've written loads of fluff idk how to quantify which is the happiest.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

only ever got a few nasty comments thankfully, so no, not really.

9. Do you write smut? If so, which kind?

yeppp. idk what does 'which kind' mean? anything that feels inspiring lol.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest crossover you’ve ever written?

not really. i did start a few back in the day but i didn't really finish them. i am not really into crossovers tbh i don't even read them 99% of the time.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yeah. someone was selling it on amazon pffth.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

a few. apparently five on ao3 lol but i think there was one or two back in the lj days too. might be wrong tho :'D

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

lol loads. at one point in life like... fifteen years ago, most things i wrote were co-written with a friend. and i've done it a couple of times after that too. i really like co-op stuff tbh but haven't found people to collab with lately.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

uhm. characterization. dialogue. emotional shit? idk i think i do best when i have intimate moments with two people. tiny everyday moments and mundane shit. like that. if i get going writing sometimes flows super well and i think i can get consistently readable stuff done in one go. but that'd require getting going lol.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

action. i suck at action. i also suck at it in the way that i can't actually make myself start writing. i got way too co-dependent when i still had people excitedly participating in the process and now i sit here sad doing nothing :'D but anyway. writing action and having some self-discipline lol.

[chodzacaparodia]

How many are allowed for the ao3 truth and dare? I wanna ask for:

🛼🥤💌🌻🐇🍄🧸🔪❄️🌿🏜️🦴🐝🎨🧩

(Sorry if it's a lot)

You can ask all you want hahah 😁 Thank you for your asks <3 I'm really glad you wanted ask so much ♡

🛼⇢ describe your latest wip with five emojis

🗣👨‍❤️‍👨🕺🥂❤️‍🩹

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

AHHH THIS IS SO HARD 😭😭

I'm looking through my bookmarks and I don't know what to recommend... Maybe this one:

The Secrets We Keep (Aren't Really That Extreme) by CheekyBrunette (Tododeku)

This is my favorite chat fic ever. I remember reading the chapters several times before the new updates came.

💌 ⇢ how many unread emails do you have right now? 

Ehhhh on the "official" e-mail I have read all of them, but on my one Gmail, which is mainly used for e-mails from ao3, I have over about 116?? 💀 Almost all of which are updates of fanfic chapters, which I will totally come back someday 🙈

🌻 ⇢ tag someone you appreciate but don't talk to on a regular basis

Preferably I'd like just @ everyone who likes/reblogs my posts, but that's where our interactions end 😭😭I appreciate your silent presence 💖💖💖

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both? 

Original characters!!! I mostly avoid reader insert because it often makes me cringe 💀

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Maybe Ryufuyu (Ryusei Satou and Chifuyu Matsuno) from Tokyo Revengers this time?

Ryseui often makes fun of Chifuyu and his love of shoujo manga and romance. But he finds it super cute. And since he also has a huge weakness for Chifuyu, he arranges for him various "scenes" typical of shojo mangas or dramas (like "rescuing" Chifuyu from a cyclist who is riding a good few meters away from them), which are more like pranks and cause Chifuyu's irritation and frustration. at the beginning, but then Ryusei makes up for everything and Chifuyu admits that he is a very charming bastard.

🧸 ⇢ what's the fastest way to become your mutual?

The fastest way is to follow me and create some interactions through e.g. reblogs? Comments? When I see that someone is excited about what I like, I start to feel a connection hahah.

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Idk, I can't remember. All I can remember in my head is how I looked for information about what diseases etc. kissing can bring 💀

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

I would love to write a Hanahaki Disease fic! I already have it in my head, but this idea will have to wait. Hmmm, who could write it well? Maybe Julie Kagawa could create something good? Her "The Iron Fey" and "Shadow of Fox" series convince me she could handle it. Or Colleen Hoover hahah. She would definitely dramatize this theme even more. Her Hanahaki Disease book would definitely be a bestseller

🌿 ⇢ give some advice on writer's block and low creativity

Honestly, it helps me to read fics or books where the characters are also fans and create something themselves, mainly fanfiction. I can identify with them and feel solidarity. Their passion is contagious, their doubts are my doubts. Stories like this make me feel motivated.

Sooo reading 💖📚

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

I love long comments where readers quote fragments of my Fic and write what they liked about them 🥺💖 They make me so happy that my cheeks hurt from smiling! I really appreciate that someone liked my story so much that they devoted so much time and energy to such an extensive comment 😭

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 

Hmmm I don't think so? Mostly ideas come to me randomly. But "Fruits Basket" was my inspiration to write one fic

🐝 ⇢ tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them

She doesn't even use tumblr anymore, but I have to tag @twojastarasiostra! She's my friend who I met at university and she was my beta for a long time (now I don't want to burden her with work because of her normal work, soo No beta we die like our free time 💀) Thank you so much that you took the time to read my works under pressure and that you sent me fragments that you liked. I'm so grateful for what you did ♡♡♡ Now you don't have to read anymore, but you still have to deal with me talking about struggling to write hahah

Speaking of struggling, I would also like to thank @lostsowly for our conversations during TR Rare Pair Week ♡♡ Mutual motivation gave me a lot ♡♡ In my heart there will always be the fact that you wrote that I am one of your favorite writers 😭

I have to also tag @matcha-meow who always informs me about writing events that I don't know about because I don't have Twitter 💀 If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have created many of my works. Thank you very much for your extensive comments, which always make me happy ♡♡♡

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like

This is my favorite Kuroken fanart ever (I hope it opens because it's on pinterest)

I love everything about this fanart. Versions of Kuroo and Kenma at different ages, their adult versions looking at each other so tenderly, this background, these colors 😭😭😭

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

When I see some incest tags 💀 If in the fic the romantic relationship is between siblings, I have *ABORT ABORT*. Just like there is a threesome with siblings in the main role. If there are love triangles between a character and two siblings - that's cool, but God forbid such a threesome 💀

If I see that the text is written in a sequence and there are no paragraphs, then I often give up reading

Have a nice day! 💖

Writers Truth & Dare Ask Game

[mtk2]

I really need to draw something original. I still haven't. The only thing original is that I drew this.

Ya'll seen the short right? I think it's titled 'Pork' or something. The short short. Not the series. Yeah.... I sorta drew my own aftermath. It's eh... Idk. Context of something like... Red is trying to apologize to Green for trying to cook them and they won't forgive.

Idk... I needed to draw something.

Cuz everything I draw is uninteresting. And it all sucks. Ehhhh-

I tried to do a bit of a different style (like... Just not the same style like the animations. Tried to add a bit something different too it). But I do not like it. I hate this drawing. I couldn't shade it cuz the way I drew it made it too hard to. So... Yeah. Looks even worse without shading. I do not like this drawing. *gags*

I also need to draw something that isn't just the characters or something related to shorts. Though I guess that would be my oc posts (no one wants to see that). Idk how to explain it.

Sigh

Time for another week of me figuring out what to draw to post here. I envy the better artists.

I need to draw something interesting, but I can't. I'm not an artist.

whooo.... tags...

(yes I haven't stopped putting myself down. I have a problem XD)

[bentosandbox]

genuinely curious, how do CN&JPN fandoms circumvent this?

disclaimer here about these being very anecdotal I just have too much experience observing/participating (in the JP side especially) also im not a fujo so idk if they run things significantly different over there LOL (like the strictness with ship name order among other things)

1) they have short concise terms to basically declare if a pair is platonic instead of stupidly long disclaimers

JP side has CPなし basically no coupling usually comes with (character names) 'A & B' instead of 'A x B'

CN has 无CP which is basically the same as above, but they also have CB (stands for combination iirc but the way i remember it is B = bros lol)

2) They sometimes have extra names that can double as a shipname or just a catch-all term for the two of them together(in any context) eg. texlapp is also called 双狼(组) in CN but using it does not inherently imply a romantic connotation...? Basically why I use LUNGWRATH and not chen/lin etc**

Even the regular ship names also have more a '(i like to see)these two together' without the omnipresent romantic attachment that comes in EN fandoms imo

3) JP fandom keeps their shipping to themselves for the most part, like for example if you post fanart of …idk, Olivia Silence Arknights you won't be getting comments from people going 'omg Saria boutta XYZ!!' because everyone is busy playing in their own sandboxes

CN is ehhhh you will see shippy comments on official bili videos and I feel like if you use a ship name it will automatically read as romantic but at least there's the term(s) that kinda sends a 'don't even try to see this as romantic' message which is very nice

**tbh i 'break' this 'rule' sometimes eg. i tag every post on chenswire dot tumblr dot com with the namesake since idrc if people see the not-meant-to-be-read-as-romantic as romantic, rarepairs don't really get to be picky xdd

[ravnloft]

7. Do you write crossovers?

not anymore but if you know the ancient piri lore of when i did tumblr rp......... the harley quinn/norman bates "it started out as a joke and now we're really invested" ship still makes me go insane from time to time...... i have a type and it is unhinged men who fall for somehow even more unhinged women

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Ok i know youll say no esp bc there isnt even a full chapter count/estimate for superzero yet but. Can we get some indication of what it will look like structurally? (Kinda like how for SLAS you were like “the first half is a slowburn, the second half ISNT”)

i debated using the slow burn tag, i'll be honest, but I was like ehhhh does it count? so i didnt lol. for this fic, it isn't in two acts or anything but it's still kind of bifurcated by The Scene™️. id say the first half is medium-low simmer and the second half is fried. interpret that how you want <3

as far as length... idk somewhere between 10 and 16 chapters. my initial estimate was 7 but aside from knowing its So Not That, i really have no clue XD i dont have anything paced out by chapter for the back half of the fic so i cant estimate well (not that i can Ever estimate well). i will say the chapter im Currently drafting is what i consider the end of the "first half", but i wont say which chapter that is lol

hiii lol just a warning this is gonna get.. long

ok so like, this.. might not make a lot of sense. but I thought about it as I was getting ready for bed last night and I happened to be looking at artwork of a much older Ash with a reworked team consisting of like, all his most powerful/iconic Pokémon and it just. clicked. 

(specifically Sceptile and greninja are a part of this reworked, all-powerful team. hear me out. also this is a greninja x hawlucha/Sceptile x Snivy/Servine/serperior themed ask sorry 😭)

and, like, of course we all know ash would never  intentionally neglect his other pokemon (what with his rotation teams and all.)

but maybe he’s like, a celebrity, at this point! so he’s always got his aces on hand just in case a fan wants to battle and see his oh-so-iconic Pokémon. Ash is always happy to oblige. Sceptile in particular kiiiinda lets the fame go to his head on occasion..

of course the ‘mons back at the lab don’t really mind this. I mean.. most of them don’t. of course you’ll have a few complaining that they’re getting the short end of the stick (Oshawott in particular comes to mind for me lol) and of course ash takes them out for the occasional fight, too! He’d hate for them to feel neglected.

….but not everyone is all that satisfied with this arrangement. serperior and Hawlucha and particular are still feeling a little resentful. not towards ash, but rather towards their partners! (gasp! who could have seen this coming?!) 

Hawlucha’s a little more accustomed to greninja being gone for longer periods of time (doesn’t mean he enjoys it though..) but serperior isn’t, and even though they both seem composed in the eyes of everyone else, it.. sucks!! 

every so often Hawlucha and Serperior’ll tag along with ash, but serperior doesn’t particularly like always being matched up with weaker opponents. Hawlucha doesn’t mind flaunting his strength, but he does get a little iffy about leaving Noivern by himself so they’re not out with ash too often.

Greninja and Sceptile love their partners of course but i don’t think either of them realize just how much their absence bugs Hawlucha and Serperior… idk im kind of obsessed with the thought now. what do u think.. hell, maybe ash’ll wise up and be like “ehhhh hey you guys haven’t been hanging with Hawlucha and serperior as much!!”

I think the rest of the Ashmons will pick up their vibe even when they say they’re fine. Mostly from Oshawott eavesdropping to their talks.

Which get relief to Pikachu who in turn notifies Ash of the problem. We all know he hates seeing his pokemon upset so he has a talk with Greninja and Sceptile and how their absences effect their respective partners.

Sceptile will tease Seperior on how much she misses him and she’ll get all red. Greninja makes it up to Hawluch for more cuddles.

In an unrelated note, I actually have an pokemon oc, her mons are dating a few of Ash’s mons such as Sceptile, Greninja, Lycanroc, Hawlucha, Leavanny, and Gengar. And two of her mons are siblings to Ash’s

I love Austin and consider him to be an incredible human being and one of the best actors I have ever seen.

With that being said, I don't think the word of V's sister's jilted ex counts for anything really. It just so happens that it coincides with all the other great things that have been said by others about Austin, but that actual post doesn't have any cred.

V and her sister want nothing to do with this guy. Last time this guy has anything to do with Austin was when he ended up in some pics with him at a few of V's parties. Austin is very hot right now and this guy is trying to make himself seem cool and at the same time attempt to stick it to V and her sister.

That's all I see with that post. Did this guy even post praise about Austin while Austin was still with V, and therefore at least peripherally in his life?

I don't find him to be a credible source in any way, shape, or form, even though I agree with everything he said. Austin Butler is fucking incredible in every way! But this guy, not so much.

ehhhh all respect but i very much disagree. he *knew* austin so i don’t see any reason to not trust his judgment of the man. objectively he is credible because he spent personal time around him and knew him as austin the human not just austin the celebrity. it doesn’t matter what you think of the motives- i think saying he isn’t credible at all is a little off base of a criticism. and they clearly did spend more time together than just parties, some of the photos he included are casual shots *not* from parties.

yeah sure a part of it may have been (probably was) meant to shady towards the H girls but, he’s not exactly famous. the only people that even noticed are us and v fans, it didn’t leave ‘the bubble’- and unless the guy has some insane delusions of grandeur i think he knew it wouldn’t exactly make a ton of noise.

especially as a story, if he really wanted attention he would’ve made it a feed post that showed up in austin’s tagged. but that’s not what he did.

i didn’t follow him on instagram during their relationship because i wasn’t a fan of austin at the time so i can’t speak to that. but idk. i don’t see any reason to throw extremely kind words about austin out just because the person saying them might have slightly messy reasons for saying them publicly.

i was genuinely really touched by what he said. he’s 25 now- so he was really young when he knew austin which makes it make perfect sense to me that he perhaps looked up to him in some sense/wanted to be like him/emulate how he carries himself. even assuming they aren’t in contact anymore i can imagine how crazy is must feel to watch someone you knew for a time blow up. i feel similarly about austin’s step brother, wherever he is in the world.

to each their own i guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

15 QUESTIONS

Tagged by @madbuns from this post, thank youuu ♥️

Were you named after anyone?

ehhhh... my name is the name of a historical figure in serbia, but it's also a very typical serbian name, so i am not really named after anyone per se, my mum just liked it

two (three?) days ago after watching gotg vol.3

Any special talents?

i am really fucking good at minigolf even tho i fucking hate it with every fibre of my being. i literally stand there bored to death "when will we be finally done with it?" while hitting most holes in an instant with no problems.

What are your hobies?

reading, writing, traveling (back when i had the money for it 😭), cooking (-ish? i say i hate cooking but i do it every day anyway even tho i son't have to. i only hate washing the dishes afterward and when the cooking stresses me out when there are too many things to keep an eye on at once, but otherwise i do actually enjoy it), idk meeting with friends and doing stuff... i don't have any special interests tbh

Have any pets?

no and i'm pretty sure i don't want any either. i won't allow anything hairy into my flat, and anything else that requires a terrarium or the sorts still needs care and time (and cleaning) and i don't have the time for that. or patience for that matter

What sports do/have you played?

used to do swimming. as in competition. and then i got my first period early and my mum and trainer did not see eye to eye abt that so i didn't go far with it before i gave up on it. no official courses after that. i wanted to do field hockey but a lot of my school bullies were doing that already, so that was a no. considered badminton to learn officially bc i loved to play it leisurely but never did, and that was that tbh...

wait, does dance count? i did hip hop actually when i was 10-ish but i was terrible at it (and still am - zero feeling for rhythm, i can't even jump up and down in synic wth everyone else at metal concerts), so that didn't last long...

How tall are you?

210cm :)

Favorite subject in school?

german, history, english (once upon a time french also lmao and then it got more difficult and wow did i lose interest in it real quick)

Dream Job?

(Not pertaining to anyone in particular this is just in general) - artist problems

//rant things

Sometimes artists that don’t tag their art or sometimes not even a caption and it gets hundred of likes in minutes/seconds— they scare me (and most of the time the acc doesnt even have thousands of people following them)

And like it gets me kind…. Ehhhh like what am I doing wrong? Am i posting at the wrong time? Is my art just trash? Do people want to see a particular art drawn by me? Do people dislike me when I post art? Should I just stop posting art?

So ye yass slayy my insecurities of “am I even an artist lmaOOo” so instead of this getting me like “oh I have to do better” I just get jealous and tired

AND I KNOW THE WORD JEALOUS SOUNDS BAD BUT ITS THE MOST ACCURATE WORD TO DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL LIKE—It’s the state of “I want what you have”and it makes me feel worse

but I’m tired of doing better in life but then if I don’t improve then idk- “I cRaVE vALiDATion”

Sometimes I just feel like I’m riding on the coattails of other people that follow me and I’m just here because famous people just share my art and like idk how to feel— it’s like everyone is pitying me or people interact with me because they feel bad (I know they don’t but just sometimes I assume the worst)

Also the fact that I’m like a memey artist that draws things that make people laugh WHICH IS GOOD but then like idk man :// I want to be taken seriously I want to be an artist that makes people go “WOW THATS AMAZING” or like “WOAH THIS LOOKS COOL” and sometimes idk I’ll never get that kind of validation ever except from myself but then again I don’t have the self confidence to be my own cheerleader and shit

Most of the time I tell myself “don’t spend too much time on one art because it’s not worth it anyway- no one will think it’s good”

This is also probably why I started writing or making edits and stuff because I feel like I’m just not good enough for art- and like I HATE that little number of hearts and retweets or smthing like- it’s like the numbers are controlling my brain- like how I feel and it makes me miserable.

I hate that I’m active on the bird app or any app just to see if anything I made got likes or that people got it- I despise myself I hate myself so much that I just NEED. To make art everyday or else I’ll lose my audience. I’m slowly falling out of love with art and instead of it bringing me joy it just brings me misery.

psa: happy trans headcanons are radical and good

there’s nothing wrong in portraying different struggles, but you don’t have to include great struggle and suffering to your trans headcanon - trans people can have easy and happy lives, and it’s more than ok for your headcanon to be a happy escapist thing.

you don’t have to always center your headcanon around transitioning struggles or the character being denied access to treatments that they need and want. it’s good and radical to portray trans people who are post-transition (whatever that means to them!!) and in a good place in life. this goes double for trans adults - there are many of us who are autonomous and independent, who have overcome the hurdles between them and the treatments they want. it’s a good thing to portray characters like this to give hope, to remind people that yes it is possible, the future isn’t hopeless! 

i love the representation of different experiences regarding especially medical transitioning in fandom that mainstream media lacks. recently, however, i realized my discomfort with certain portrayals wasn’t just linked to my personal experiences with dysphoria, but to the way especially adult trans headcanons tend to focus on the characters being in a perpetual state of being denied the treatments they desperately need, instead of portraying for example non-op trans men through an affirming lens, as men who made and own their own decisions. this is talking about adult characters who in canon are independent, financially well-off, and otherwise in a very fortunate position to pursue medical transition!! why do we do this? why can’t we allow being trans to be a happy thing and trans people being successful even when everything in canon is enabling that? 

so especially my fellow trans folks, don’t feel like your headcanon is “too idealistic” or “too perfect” or any of that shit! if you don’t want to discuss the hardships or struggles, don’t! happy stories are useful and valuable too, especially when reality is often the opposite.
