Thanks to @cryscendo for the tag and for past tags and to everybody else who has tagged me in the past and then I haven't made a post... I appreciate every time I get tagged, I've just been kinda drowning in work lately and haven't had time to write.

BUT I'm going to share a little bit I wrote several months ago for tbosas au which has been living rent free in my head for a while - I started outlining this back in December, and will hopefully eventually get to write it all! This is more than 6 sentences because fuck the rules <3

“And there he is, Blaine Anderson himself,” Santana announces to their small group. “They can’t give him the prize, right? He already has enough handed to him, being an Anderson.” Blaine catches Sebastian’s eye for just a moment before Sebastian can turn back to the group, and he starts to walk over. “Which is ridiculous anyway, he’s district. He doesn’t even belong here but he still has everything handed to him? It makes no sense.” As Blaine walks up to the group, Santana plasters a sickeningly sweet smile across her face. “Hi, Blaine.” “Hi Santana,” Blaine greets her quickly, then looks to Sebastian. “Hey, Bastian.” Sebastian cringes a little, hates it when Blaine calls him that, like they’re the best of friends, hates that being associated with Blaine makes everyone else question his own place here, too; he doesn’t need his status being questioned, it’s hard enough fooling them all as it is without Blaine getting in the way. But Blaine knows what Sebastian’s life is, Blaine’s whole family knows, and it’s humiliating but he can’t help it, needs to stay on Blaine’s good side so that at least he’ll keep it to himself.

Going to tag @daisyishedwig @esperantoauthor @blurglesmurfklaine @kurtsascot @calsvoid @fallevs and anybody else who wants to do this! (I know some of you already got tagged but I'm double tagging you because I want to and fuck the rules <3)

@esperantoauthor some extra notes on Stray, aka things I wish I had known:

So far, I am in chapter 10 of 12 (I think?), I have played around 6 hours, and I am enjoying the game and recommend it. I do have some things to say that might weight in in your decision:

This game has no manual saving option, only auto save. This autosave kicks in a lot: every time you reach a new place, when you find a collectible, when you find a special place, etc. but there have been moments where I walked around for like 10 minutes, hoping to trigger an autosave, because I wanted to quit the game and was tired. At moments like that, I missed the manual save.

The dev say it's best to play this game with a gamepad, and yes, that is true, but the game doesn't recognise any button schemes apart from the Xbox controller, even when you use a different one. I have downloaded a mod so that is shows up the correct buttons for my procontroller, which was a relief. Especially in stressful moments. Kinda sad the devs didn't take this into account. (There is also a similar mod for PS controllers)

This game is NOT relaxing. I was expecting a cute, cosy kitty sim and it can be that, sure, but not all the time. There are stressful moments where monsters can kill your cat, swarm you, and there's stressful music playing in the back. There are also areas with disturbing light (non-human and non-animal) gore with creepy music playing. It's not a horror game! Still far from it! And there are no jumpscares or anything. But if you are going into it thinking it's just "cat walking around game", you'll be mistaken and every person on the internet who has called it a cute, relaxing, cosy game owes me €1000 in damages.

I do REALLY REALLY like this game and the last point is not necessarily a bad thing in my eyes, I just was bamboozled by it, since it was unexpected.

And it still is a cat simulator. I will climb on every surface! I will kick over every bottle! I will scratch every spot I can scratch! I WILL MEOW!!!

Tell us more about “isn’t it strange”!🥰

HI ESP IF I HAVENT TOLD YOU RECENTLY ILY!

Isn't it Strange is like... 13 going on 30 meets it's a wonderful life? I don't know why I'm making that analogy I've never seen It's A Wonderful Life.

But essentially it's a post-season 6 break up fic where Blaine's like "damn this sucks booty. I wish I'd never even met Kurt" and then he wakes up and he's living a life in which he and Kurt have never met because it sounds awkward and painful and I'm just a slut for angst i guess

Here's a snippet!

“Let it be known that I love Rachel Barbra Berry to the ends of this earth, but if I have to wake up to the sound of her gargling salt water at five in the morning as a preventative measure against bronchitis one more time, I might actually poison our water supply with arsenic. Take us both out.” Blaine stops in his tracks, mid-chew, and blinks at Kurt sitting opposite the table.  “But enough about me and my roommate’s inconsiderate hygiene habits, how are things on the Blaine train?” Blaine fights a smile when Kurt winces a little. “I—let’s just—can we pretend I didn’t just say Blaine train?” He waits expectantly for a moment, but Blaine just sighs. “Kurt, you… you don’t have to do this.” Kurt furrows his eyebrows. “Don’t have to do what?” Blaine shakes his head a little, every passing second fueling his embarrassment. He knows exactly what’s happening here, and he isn’t about to let himself confuse Kurt’s inherent kindness with any genuine interest. He said he was closing this road, and he has to stick to that. “You’re a really sweet guy, Kurt, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I don’t want your pity.” “I don’t pity you,” Kurt says evenly, mouth twitching. “I do find you intriguing.” Blaine huffs out a small laugh. Kurt may find him intriguing now, but once he uncovers everything underneath, Blaine knows he won’t like what he sees. He already didn’t.

@esperantoauthor​ I think I am in denial about my plant being dead. I read your reply and I was like “I have to do WHAT?? IT DEAD????”, but yeah maybe I need to accept that these leafs and stems are crispy af and all the flowers wilted 😭😭😭😭

Although the ground in the pot did turn a bit greenish. I am so out of my depth with plants, man.

Hey everyone! Exciting things are happening!

@esilher and I have started a grand collaboration! Strap yourselves in for a series of medieval!klaine artworks staring knight!Blaine and prince!Kurt drawn by the two of us, accompanied by little drabbles written by me. This one is the first of many. Hope you enjoy!

“Lord Hummel.” Blaine addressed the crown prince as he strode into the throne room. 

The king was away on a peacekeeping mission in the north and had left the crown prince in charge. “It’ll be good practice, for once you are the ruler of this land,” his father had said. 

Blaine had just returned from an important mission himself to scout the eastern border. There were rumours that groups of bandits were organising raids there and, as Captain of the King's Royal Guard, the great responsibility of perserving the safety of the kingdom rested on his shoulders. 

Kurt smiled brightly at the knight. “Sir Blaine, I’m so glad to see you have returned.” 

Blaine walked up to the throne and kneeled in front of the prince in the formal position: down on one knee, presenting his sword and bowing his head down low. “Thank you, Your Grace,” he said. Then, suddenly, he felt a hand softly touching his cheek. 

“You don't have to bow for me, you fool.” The prince spoke in a soft voice and he caressed the knight's cheek with his thumb.

Blaine lifted his head, a blush painting his cheeks as he looked into the kind eyes of his love. “But the guards…” he stammered, slowly rising to his feet.

“The guards will have to get used to it whilst I'm sitting on this throne,” Kurt said. “Now, tell me about your mission.”

GAZA 😭😭🇵🇸🔗⬇️

support us we lost our home and our workes😔💔

My children are sick from the cold and the spread of diseases, and they are all in pain. I have been displaced with my children many times, and each time we had to bleed her precious evacuation money to buy transportation and transportation.

These conditions are absolutely catastrophic. It's the end of the world. No child, no mother, no person should have to go through this.

You can help by donating and sharing so we don't have to struggle anymore. All we are hoping for is to get enough money to evacuate to Cairo so we don't have to rely on the black market for simple things like food anymore.

You can help. 

Please take time out of your day to donate to my family, our campaign is moving very slowly and we need your help.

Please help my family get out of this hell. We, like all human beings, deserve safety, comfort, and warmth, and now you have a way to help provide these things for us.

https://gofund.me/5770752d.

Dear, please don't let me down, we deserve life and we deserve your generosity and kindness towards us, you are our lifeline and with your generosity you give us life even a little, but you relieve us of injustice and the cursed war, you are the hope and life once again, be side by side hand in hand, we will make a big difference with faith, strength, will and determination, we will reach the goal, we are very close, I hope you participate and contribute if you can. 💜🇵🇸🍉🍉💐💐.

I am a mother of three beautiful little girls, Sana and Hanan. Hla has been sick recently and Hla needs to be vaccinated very soon, but I can tell you that the situation has been very difficult in Gaza and the campaign has been slow lately.

Thank you to everyone who donated and participated from the bottom of my heart, but my campaign needs more support and interaction. I think that my campaign did not receive the required interaction and attention. It is not my fault that I am Palestinian so that I do not receive support. I think that other campaigns and non-Arab campaigns take momentum from interaction and support. It is not my fault that a Palestinian is marginalized for the sake of my children, humanity, and children's rights. Help m🙏🏻🙏🏻💔💔.

My name is Tahani, I am 30 years old from Gaza and I have three very young children, Sana, Hanan and my youngest, Hala, who grew up during the war. Our house was destroyed, I was displaced several times and I am currently separated from the rest of my family - my husband, brothers, sisters and parents. I cannot tell you how stressed I am.

I am doing my best to take care of my children by myself, despite facing hunger, thirst, disease and the threat of death. The other day, there was heavy shelling near me and another family close to us was killed. Life in Gaza is now hell and I tell you that we are living as if we are waiting for our turn to die.

I am Tahani from Gaza, I am 30 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to maintain my family. I am married and a mother of three children: Sana, who is seven years old, Hanan, who is five years old, and a girl named hla. She grew up during the war and in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital directly to the tent. I cannot describe the extent of the suffering and difficulty of living in the tent.

But I need help. The situation in Gaza is very bad right now, with the IDF preventing aid from entering and the food, water and medicine that is available are very expensive. Please share and donate to help me and my children survive and eventually leave Gaza.

Thank you all. I hope you will support me to save my life and the lives of my children🇵🇸🍉🍉.

‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸.

We are trying to survive in miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Deir al-Balah, south of Gaza. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressure, doubts and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it is not only hunger, disease and fear; it means actual death.

We have been forced to move more than 7 times, and my house has been completely destroyed, and I cannot provide enough milk, diapers, medicines, and vitamins for my children.💔🍉🇵🇸😭

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I strongly and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza. The situation in Gaza has become unbearable due to slow death as a result of hunger, thirst, displacement, the spread of diseases and continuous bombing.🍉🇵🇸💔

The past months have been full of hell and horror. This war has gone on for too long, and our mental health and lives are constantly at risk. We have reached a point where there is no hope anymore in Gaza, as if we are waiting for death. Even if a ceasefire is reached, the devastation in Gaza in all its forms cannot be quickly repaired

Please help me and my children to get us out of genocide🍉🇵🇸💔.

Your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.💔💔

I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time🇵🇸🇵🇸

Thank you for your kindness and generosity❤️.

Hello

My name is Hoda, I am twenty years old and my husband's name is Sobhi, he is twenty-four years old. We live with my husband's family, which consists of fourteen people. Our lives have turned for the worse since October 7, 2023. Since that day😭, the occupation forced us to leave our home and we were displaced from 8 to 10 times. Then we went to the security line in the south of the Gaza Strip🇵🇸 because of the fire belts, missiles and shells. We went without shelter. After that, torn tents were provided to protect my family🙋‍♀️🙋. The news came to surprise us that our home was bombed. Here, our dreams and hopes were shattered.

Now, we are suffering from the lack of flour for my family due to the exorbitant prices of food🥬🫑. This has caused malnutrition for my family, as well as the lack of water. When water is available, it is unclean and unfit for drinking. This has caused the spread of epidemics and viruses that caused the spread of skin rashes in my family. Animal food, such as fodder and barley, was mixed to provide food for my family, which caused stomach pain and diarrhea.

I beg you In achieving my dream of having children, I got married at the age of fifteen and now it has been five years since my marriage and I have not had children, so please help me collect money to plant children. 😭🙏😢

Otherwise, I did not complete my studies due to lack of money and lack of a place to study, and I hope that you will help me achieve my goals🙏🙏.

We suffer in lighting fires that are used to heat water, cook food and provide warmth. The price of firewood has risen insanely, so we use pipes and plastic instead of firewood, which has led to a crisis in the respiratory system. Winter may be coming and my family and I will not have clothes, blankets, shoes and useful tents. I do not know what I will do to protect my family from the bitter cold. Thank you. ❤️

I was hoping to beg you to help me and my family survive the danger of war.🙏😔🔗

Looking for fics that are kind of a warbler spin off, with storylines of the warblers too not just klaine. Simillar to Dalton and Meet the Warblers. Thanks!

You could try our Warbler tag on tumblr, or I put in "Nick/Jeff Glee" as an alternative relationship, along with BA/KH as the main relationship, and 244 items came up on Ao3. I can't guarantee some other non Klaine ships are in there. ~Jen

Here are a few:

The Warbler by WhiteOwl

Kurt is a famous actor and singer who gets threatening messages and phone calls. One night his house is attacked and his manager suggests him to hire a bodyguard... Or better a whole team, the Warblers. Things just turn more complicated when Kurt finds out that the Warblers' leader is none other than Blaine Anderson, his former one-night stand.

~~~~~

Anderson Barbershop by paellaiscomplicated

AU where Kurt never visited Dalton.

Now it's December of 2016 and Kurt has graduated from NYADA. He's having trouble getting cast in anything and loses his apartment after he and Adam break up. So when he inherits an apartment in Hackensack, NJ from a great-aunt he doesn't remember meeting, he decides spending a few months cleaning the place out will give him time to regroup.

Blaine opened a barber shop and lives in Hackensack, NJ with his friends Nick and Jeff from Dalton. He's worried about making a success of his business, but not too worried to be intrigued when an attractive guy moves into the neighborhood.

Warnings for past Kurt/Adam, references to Finn Hudson's death, past Blaine/Sebastian

~~~~~

A night in the Ryerson House by @blurglesmurfklaine; @carmex; @esperantoauthor; @justgleekout; @klainetrashxx: numberone (honey_olives), @syntheticpoetry

The New Directions make a pact to spend the night in the old abandoned Ryerson house in the hopes of being blessed with good luck for Regionals. Will they make it through the night or will their hopes be dashed when they discover they are not alone in the house? ~~~~~

Crowded House by kellyb321

All of your favorite Warblers and a few new faces, too. Follow our boys as they start their lives in NYC, each couple facing their own challenges, heartbreak, self-discovery and redemption. Stick around as they realize support, acceptance and most importantly, true love can all be found in one big Crowded House. Heavy on the Klaine and Niff.

Fic Writer 20 Questions

Thank you so much to @rockitmans for the tag!! I always love a good excuse to talk about my writing!

I'm going to go ahead and tag @esperantoauthor @spookyklaine and @thnxforknowingme if you haven't been tagged already :)

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

53 (44 on my main pseud and 9 on my podfic pseud)

2. What's your AO3 word count?

290,197

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Just Glee! A write for a variety of ships, usually involving Kurt, mostly Klaine and Kurtbastian but occasionally I dabble elsewhere.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

It Was Only A Kiss (808 kudos)

Notes of an Old Mistake (171 kudos)

I Want The World To See You'll Be With Me (170 kudos)

You're A Little Less Alone (162 kudos)

Echoes of You (137 kudos)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always! I don't always respond right away, but I always respond eventually. I appreciate getting comments and I want people to know that I've read them and appreciated them. And it can be fun to have a little chat about the story I'm creating sometimes, too :)

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

He Forgets Me, He Forgets Me Not. It's a very sad one-shot that ends with major character death and a funeral, so, yeah.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I don't think I ever write happy endings? Just kidding, I probably have more happy endings than sad. Happiest is maybe Keep It Simple? Ends with a proposal and I think it's really understated and sweet and yeah.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Surprisingly not really... which is good because I'm Delicate and don't handle criticism of my creative endeavours well.

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

Bestie a better question is if I write anything other than smut. I have written... so much smut. Out of curiosity I checked the top tags on my explicit rated fics, and this is the list (17 fics total for reference):

Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot (10)

Anal Sex (7)

Smut (6)

Blow Jobs (6)

Anal Fingering (5)

Angst (4)

Established Relationship (4)

Gay Sex (4)

Hurt/Comfort (3)

Teasing (3)

I think that's a pretty good reflection. There's also often something that's just like, a little bit more risque, but usually nothing too out there. Not that I'm opposed to writing something very out there. I did post non-con tentacle porn once, so.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've ever written?

I don't but it's really only because I've never written for a fandom other than Glee. I have a few ideas swirling in my head for Glee AUs based in another universe, but I'm not sure if that would count even if I did get around to writing them.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge. I've considered trying to translate my own fics into French for the practice, but then I remembered I'm not even remotely good enough at French to do that.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

A couple times yes! Did You Hear That? and Kurtbastian 2020 Advent Calendar

14. Favourite all time ship?

Kurtbastian <3 there's just something about them you know? Maybe you don't. But that's okay, because I do, and that's what matters.

15. WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

The Hazards of Love series... I had a whole thing planned out when I first started it, and I breezed through the first two parts, but then I got distracted with other things and it just feels way too hard to come back to now and I feel like I've changed a lot as a writer, too... and it's kind of niche and not something most people would want to read anyway, so I don't even have that as a motivator.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm good at dramatic scenarios/describing the feelings of a character who is Going Through It. I love a good internal monologue that involves freaking out about something or discovering something about themselves or denying something about themselves or whatever else. I also really love writing big blow-out arguments, and I think I'm pretty good at those, too.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Actually writing anything lol. But also I kind of struggle with writing group settings or anything where stuff is actually happening? I get so caught up in writing dialogue and internal thoughts that I don't really know what to do when there are actually Things Occurring.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I wouldn't do it beyond a word or two because I just don't know any other languages well enough to do that. I'm not opposed to it in theory if someone knows multiple languages or has help from someone who does, but ideally they'd also provide a translation so I don't need to take it to Google translate myself (and potentially lose some of the meaning)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Glee and I'm still here babeyyyyyy

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Gotta be my baby, It Was Only A Kiss. She is my most successful fic by an absolutely absurd margin, but honestly I think she deserves it. I poured a lot of effort into that story and it wasn't always fun but it paid off really well. It's definitely the work that I'm most proud of, and I think has some of my best writing.

[justasmallbloginabigklainefandom]

@esperantoauthor Okay I've only played, like, 50 minutes of it. I bought it on sale for 40% off, wHICH WILL END ON THE 19TH, on Steam and I will not shut the fuck up about it because I am a Switch girlie and every Steam game I own has the "fuck I wish I had it on Switch" thing going on. But also... 40% off. So Steam it is. And since I am not used to PC gaming, my laptop isn't specifically made for gaming so I only booted it up to see if the game runs on my laptop. If not, I could ask for a refund within 2 hours. This is also why I haven't played a lot, cause I am still deep in Cassette Beasts post-game and I'll continue Stray later.

So far I am having a blast. I am a teeny tiny kitty cat. I can press A (or B, cause fuck the procontroller I guess?) to meow! MROW MEEEEOOOW MLEM MLEM MEEEOWWw!! Someone told me I had to take my time with it and I am. I am embracing the catness. I NEED to climb on every barrel and push off everything from any surface.

Graphics wise, it looks better than Switch, which was to be expected, although I expected the cat to look better (from what I've seen re: comparisons), but the environment looks stellar. I did put it on 30fps to be safe. I can't say I had issues running it on 60fps, but I'm just anxious due to my aforementioned lack of PC gaming experience.

Now for motion sickness... Okay, so, the game tells you it's better to play this with a gamepad instead of M&K so I hooked up my Switch procontroller to my laptop, which is what I did for Persona 3 Reload as well, cause I cannot stand M&K anyway. BUT my procontroller.... has Joy-Con drift. Not sure if you're aware of this, but it basically means the input on my joysticks is shitty and it moves BOTH joysticks (cause life hates me) at rapid speed without my input. As a result, yes, the right joystick that is the 360 degrees camera did start rotating at times at rapid speed, making it unpleasant and dizzing, BUT this is purely a drift problem. When I had the drift under control, or when it wasn't drifting I didn't really get motion sick but I also am aware I don't get motion sick as often compared to others. (Like my friend Ava gets very dizzy from Splatoon 3. I can play it without issues.)

TL;DR: So far so good.

El WooWoo! And a happy WIP Tuesday to you too, @wellbelesbian! And thanks @aroace-genderfluid-sheep for the Wednesday tag.

This is the situation in my writing life:

My brain: Girl, you do NOT need a new WIP. You have plenty. One of them has a deadline. MCD feels neglected. Me @ my brain: Yes, but.... what if.... Tears of the Kingdom inspired Snowbaz reunion fic?

Anyway, here's some of that. Baz's POV, because I can. It got a bit long, but you know what, here we go:

I remember the first time I saw a Sky Island. We'd just arrived at Heathrow. We were all a mess. One moment, Simon and I were on the beach, the next Bunce comes yelling about troubles at Watford, and then we're back home in England and all of us are being ushered in a car by Mitali Bunce. (Well, almost all of us. Wellbelove refused to come along and when Professor Bunce found out Shepard is a Normal, he wasn't allowed to join.) Professor Bunce drove us to Watford and I could see something was wrong. Some buildings were destroyed. Huge boulders had fallen down on them. I was so shocked and confused by the sight on the surface that I didn't even think about the sky. The moment we got out of the car, Simon put his hand on my shoulder and told me to look up. Sky Islands. They were everywhere. Professor Bunce started talking about how they just appeared overnight and that no one knew where they came from and it seemed like Normals cannot see them. They first appeared above Watford, but they've been popping up everywhere and chunks have fallen down, creating chaos and confusion on the surface The World of Mages needed everyone who was willing to help and Bunce and I didn't have to think long about it. Simon, on the other hand, was more doubtful. "It's alright. Take your time," I said. "Right," Simon said back, still looking at the sky. Bunce and I were ordered to go to whatever was left of the White Chapel. Simon decided to stay behind for, since he wasn't officially part of this brand new investigation team. I kissed his cheek. I said goodbye. I told him that he should go home and rest and that I'd see him later. I didn't know that that was the last time I'd see him.

Yeah, so, uh, just like in AWTWB, Simon walks out. But unlike AWTWB, Baz doesn't find him again. Gosh... I wonder where he went, with his wings and everything.

Meanwhile, small update on my Klaine fic: Waffle the chinchilla has been found! If you're reading this, feel free to come up with more names for little animals. I have 7 vacant spots.

No Frankfic This Year 😢

I am sorry to announce that there will be no Frankenfic this year. I came down with Covid in September and only recently made a full recovery so I wasn't up for organizing the event this year.

While we don't have anything new to offer, there are three years of Frankfic tales available here!
