Angharad may not be as experienced as Toast, as adept as Capable, as intuitive as Dag, nor as kind-hearted as Cheedo, but the Immortan did not declare her Splendid for nothing. She hears the wails of the Wretched and the jeering of the War Boys. She sees how the Sons flock to the Immortan like loyal dogs, how he wears his armor and badges in arrogant denial.

There has been a rage simmering inside Angharad for as long as she can remember. It had made her a vicious Pup, but she had tried to put it aside along with her white paint years ago. She knew it would be of no use here, would do little more than drive her mad.

But she feels it bursting fully to life now and welcomes it.”

if i don’t make it back from where i’ve gone

Tumblr is probably not the right place for this, but if I’d like to have a chance of more than 2 people seeing it, it’s this or twitter and fuck no.

Anyway!

I did nano and predictably got side tracked half way through building a better writing tool, because I couldn’t afford the shiny ones and the one I had wasn’t quite working for me.

Fast forward a few months I’ve nearly finished it (oh god the unit tests) but then I thought, hey, maybe others too are not quite vibing with their tools? Or maybe things could be fannished up a little?

So if anyone has any things they really wished a writing tool did, now is the time to mention it. If there’s interest, I’ll stick community and supporter versions up.

[plegg-culture-is]

Fannish plegg carton culture, specifically protogenic-endogenic plegg culture that later finds itself to be full of permanent resident soulbonds is —

In very very early childhood:

*Projections literally playing H.O.R.S.E or whatever that basketball game is. Of course the main fronter never played, because they are too short.*

"Huh!! Well I mean those barbecue sauce was spicy before but it's 0.05 seconds later and I feel completely different as a person and also this barbecue sauce is no longer spicy. Oh well. The teacher called me a liar over barbecue sauce so I'm gonna be a shithead to them and have a meltdown"

In middle school:

"What would Gohan do if he was in this world???"

"What would Jayfeather do if he were in this world??"

"OMG. WHAT WOULD. IZAYA ORIHARA DO IF HE WAS IN THIS SITUATION JIST SOME MIDDLE SCHOOLER NOW"

*Has full-ass slow changing "see through my eyes" quasi-ceremonies based solely on vibes since we didn't have innerworld completely built yet*

*Chasing each other in hallways and all people saw was a small autistic child running for no reason lol*

"Why the fuck can I never feel my face when something horrible happens to us me? Also I relate too much to Silver from Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver"

In high school:

"Yep just Gon and Killua from Hunter×Hunter chillin' over there. Nobody can see 'em and these feel pretty distinct from hallucinations considering I can't literally see them. Eh. Maybe just imagination."

*Checking out a pro-endogenic blog in 2015* "Yup I am just a curious singlet"

*Still chasing ourselves through hallways just less or more hidden because people are stupid.* Why the fuck am I so angry all of the time. Why the fuck do I feel like there should be more to all of this.

"Hhhh Illumi Zoldyck from Hunter×Hunter patting my head is completely normal. So is pretending I am Ethan from Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver I'M NOT PRETENDING ThOUGH??? I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO CALL THIS all I know is I am definitely Ethan, , not Ethan? And Illumi Zoldyck is petting my head and we are working at a McDonald's right now. What the fuck is happening" *Proceeds to ignore this and never tell anyone until we are today years old*

"My vitriol for Hisoka Morrow of Hunter×Hunter has three sides to it. I hate him and his canon. I have no clue how to explain the other two sides to this and I cannot stand my friend obsessing over this character" *Proceeds to also ignore this one too, and never tell anyone until we are today years old*

In university:

"Hey 30 year old Gladion idk if you're actually a figment of my imagination anymore but yeah sure your sister Lily and her daughter Mei can chill in here in this brain for awhile. Does this mean I'm genderfluid lol?" (Narrator: this is, in fact, NOT what genderfluidity is supposed to feel like.)

"Oh well I guess Itonai from Assassination Classroom is just decided to sleep in the bed tonight. Get the fuck off of my bed ya lazy bum. Noooo it's just wei — get back in our head you freak (//lovingly, platonic)"

*Just feeling fucking uncomfortable around sysmedicalists but especially the sysmedicalists who were anti-endogenic as well (yes there are pro-endogenic sysmeds!! Uhm but definitely not plural, nope)*

"I am now talking to these projections while brushing my teeth. Lucifer from The Devil Is A Part-Timer has literally crash-landed into our brain along with Emilia Justina. Wtf?"

*Discovers the word endogenic yet again and gets the weird euphoria again*

*Maybe our late second year at university, at fucking 11PM, after anime club finishes — Kusuo Saki just fucking chilling on top of the table via projection* "Heeey so remember that one time in high school where you had weird daydreams about that pink-haired psychic boy and the blonde with drills? Welp, Mami Tomoe picked me up on the way here —" *Queue freakout of the main fronter at this point*

-----------

SO ANYWAYS that is. Uh. Some Stuff(tm) yaaay, anyways the good thing about this is we don't think our queer shit would ever, ever be as fucking weird as our plurality shit in the context of the societal context and chronological context we, Rusanya, live in, so figuring out we're aceplex (since we found the plurality first and asexuality is more of a veil) was mostly just an "AHA okay then lol" and we just kind of slap every label on the planet onto us that we like that we think applies, both on an individual and collective level. :D

Pinned welcome post 📌

Hello, hello 💚💚💚 Welcome to the chaos that is my main 🙃 Time for a new pinned post.

I'm oneinist (they/them, non-binary), and you can find me on Discord, Ao3, Pixiv and Twitter under the same ID (mostly viewing on the latter two). Come say hi if you like~

I love Naruto. I am forever going to die-hard-ship KakaIru, I love the two on their own as well - and from time to time I branch out into multi-shipping 👀

On this main, I reblog, interact, and play ask games (LOVE THEM!!) on a multitude of topics but ofc Naruto, KKIR, fandom and fannish stuff take up the majority.

Asks are OPEN - nothing is too silly and here is some inspiration.

From 2023 you can find all my art and stories over at my side blog, oneinist's works (I just love that grid view...) where requests are open too, please just check out the pinned post first 😘. I love to collect resources and I try to tag them so I can go back, why not look through them below?

Art resources Writing resources

I'm also a mod over at the Kakairu.Rocks forum where we are currently running the Kakairu Advent Calendar Battle 2023 and soon enough it will be time for Kakairu Valentines Week 2024. I'm also part of a collective of kkir mods who have run the Kakairu Reverse Bang 2022 and we are potentially running another event in 2024 👀

Come check us out and spread the KakaIru looove~~~

I am also chuckling like mad at the people who are still so down on Jade, like "she doesn't even have basic customer service skills" and babes I get where you're coming from but the UK is not a tip culture. Customer service is thus very very VERY different. I worked at a move theater (in the North, which is much friendlier than London!) while I was at uni, and regularly had coworkers ask me why I was being so fucking chipper and polite to people. I had CUSTOMERS look at me in befuddlement when I'd chirp "enjoy your movie!" Jade keeps a neutral/pleasant smile on her face, she doesn't actively say anything nasty to anyone, that's pretty fucking good. Also, I think she might be nicer to everyone else, and her busting Nate's balls is just gonna be their thing.

Are there different terms for AUs that change canon vs ones that are set in whole new worlds? I'm wracking my brain and I can't seem to think of anything other than a "Fusion AU", but I know that's not it

[honestlyvan]

Sometimes the only way to describe your blorbo is by going "he is so 💞stupid💞". This is a double-edged sword because sometimes you see a post about your blorbo that is like "he is so 🔪stupid🔪" from a hater, sending you to an evil parallel universe.

Hi!

I´ve been planning on making a hard cover Reanimator fanfic book for a while and i would like to know if i could include Dreams in the Necromancer House after its finished! It would be just one book (not selling it) and i´ll give the proper credits both on the summary and the beggining of the story. Im also thinking about doing an illustration of each chapter and putting there, so there´s that too. If it ends up really happening i plan on posting the progress on my tumblr!

We can talk a bit more about it if you have any regards about the crediting stuff or anything like it, but its ok if you dont like the idea too!

Hope you have a good day!

Hi @camelosuspeito! I am going to reply to you in particular, but my opening is going to be generic in case anybody else has a similar question. You've kind of triggered an unskippable cutscene, so I'll let you know that the answer is yes ahead of time. I hope that's okay, and that you're having a good night/whatever your local time is!

Generally speaking, I can only support fan binding of my works if they are offered free of charge, or are personal copies not for sale.

My reasons for not supporting fan binding for pay for my works in particular are simple. I offer all of my fanfiction free of charge. That does not mean that they are free of labor. I've been writing fic since I was sixteen; I'm now in my forties. I've put roughly two decades of practice into creating fanworks. This doesn't touch upon the original works I've produced in that same timeframe, nor having to learn basic HTML to create websites back in the day to host fanworks at a time when they were regularly banned from mainstream platforms, etc.

Despite all that, I am giving my writing for free. To me, the point of transformative fanwork is creating, developing, and maintaining the fandom, in joy and in suffering. I could charge people a fee to access my Re-Animator essays on some other site. That would be the smart move and my bills would sure appreciate getting paid. I don't do that because I am also poor and I feel it would be unethical to put a paywall between impoverished fans and transformative works. I'll probably create a tip jar here one of these days, but that's all it would be--a tip jar for people who appreciate what I do.

Accordingly, I see people charging over a hundred euros for binding fanfic, and I get a bad taste in my mouth. As far as I can tell, nobody on Etsy is getting their own fanfic bound, nor are folks offering fan bindings of their own works. They are taking the labor of a third party and making money off it, and it's really not clear whether any of the fanwriters whose works are being sold even know whether or not it's happening or consented to it.

It reminds me of how in the mid-2010s, somebody went through my AO3 profile and uploaded a bunch of my Star Trek and Twin Peaks fics as ebooks for sale. That troubled me. If they sold one of my fics, that's only five dollars--but it's pretty much pure profit for them, and so very worthwhile. It sucks offering something for free and having people take advantage of that in the name of their own profit.

And again, this is all just about me and how I feel about my work. Other folks can and will feel differently and that's okay! I'm not passing judgement.

Soooooo, all of that being said, you're not doing that. You are asking to do a fan binding of "Dreams in the Necromancer House" for you, and as you've described it here, that's fine with me! If you still like it after it's finished and you want to have a personal copy of it, go nuts with that! I think crediting me as the author on the cover or author's page would be more than enough, given that it would just be yours.

I think seeing your process for producing it would be very interesting, and so would the illustrations! Feel free to tag me as much as you like when you're ready to get going.

[zforhire]

Babe, are you okay? I notice you’re watching your comfort villain again.

[spandexspangles]

Hey just for funsies, what's your most unhinged, never gonna happen, wouldn't want it to happen but it would be fucking hilarious if it did, way to wrap up Rebecca's psychic nonsense? I'll go first- Rebecca and Trent Crimm get together and she becomes mum to his daughter.

[gophergal]

[nym-wibbly]

Do you still do your OUAT nail polishes?

Sadly not! I miss that colourful geekery. The one lingering side-effect from my mastectomy surgery is that I can no longer grow my nails to a decent length. It's got a bit better this past year, so I may be able to go back someday to representing characters with little blobs of overpriced colour. :)

[next-crisis]

I am suddenly craving crossover fanfic for HoHH and The Locked Tomb. Why, I have no idea. Except maybe that I have a feeling that to recreate this place and its aura in place of Canaan House would be nothing short of brilliant, and my mental picture of the respective reactions to Hill House and its ghosts of Gideon, Harrowhark, Camilla and Jeannemary is just... epic.

You know, I gotta ask. You know folks around town talk, they’ve always talked about this place.

[do-not-go-gentle]

hey hey guys are there any pieces of media you like/love/would die for/enjoy but will absolutely never engage with the fandom? and why?

[britishdisasters]

The academic journal the OTW runs has an article on live streaming video games being a form of fannish behavior and wow, never thought of it that way before.
