I’m excited to finally be able to share my drawing of my favorite Camp Camp X Gravity Falls crossover idea! :D
A long string of my thoughts regarding the crossover under the pics, you have been warned lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s crazy to me that despite all the jokes that Harrison looks like a human Bill Cipher there is absolutely no fanart (that I have found) of him interacting with any of the Pines.
Yeah there’s art of him with Bill, but the Pine’s family are the ones that have trauma from him and therefore would have the best reaction.
Just imagine them meeting the one kid that not only looks like someone possessed by Bill but also does real honest to god magic and has an affinity for fire!
With how much shit the Pine’s have dealt with it wouldn’t be a stretch for them that Bill came back as a kid. They’d probably assume Harrison was being possessed or something.
Harrison especially looks like Bipper so I’d imagine he’d be especially unsettling to Dipper and Mabel. (Probably gonna draw him and Mabel interacting next)
Dipper immediately being super suspicious of Harrison and doing that stalking thing he does to try and figure him out. Dipper seeing Harrison make a mistake with his magic that makes him not look great and Dipper just freaking out more.
Mabel being uncomfortable with Harrison but trying her hardest to be nice to him because he hasn’t actually done anything yet. Becoming friends when she realizes that Harrison is just a kid and not anything like Bill personality and morality wise.
Harrison enjoyed coloring in that one episode so she could probably get him to do art with her. They’d have so much fun with him showing her his magic tricks, he’d be so happy someone is genuinely interested. His magic would probably improve with the encouragement she would give him.
Mabel being reminded of Bipper whenever Harrison gets a bit arrogant. The thought goes away pretty quickly though cause he usually gets humbled really quickly and just accepts it lol
Ford also immediately being suspicious of Harrison but not doing anything rash yet until he can test him. Losing his shit the first time Harrison does magic in front of him.
Someone on here posted a mini fic thing where they said Ford almost dropkicked Harrison the first time he does magic and I love that (I’ll look for the post later and tag it here) Edit: here’s the link! https://www.tumblr.com/the-sprog/659871894550577153/i-just-had-an-idea-could-you-imagine-a-crossover
Stan giving Harrison the benefit of the doubt but keeping a close eye on him whenever he interacts with one of the twins. Not outright hostile to him but not exactly kind either.
Stan somehow finding out about how Harrison accidentally made his brother disappear and immediately noticing the similarities to what happened with him and Ford. He probably gains a bit of a soft spot for Harrison after and gives him pointers on random things, probably a few pep talks.
Oh also I know it’s just a difference in the two art styles but CC characters tend to have more yellow sclera and oval pupils/irises and it really doesn’t help Harrison’s case lmao
I can keep going but this post is already really long so I’ll stop for now haha 😅

Around-The-Clock Shadows
Platonic Yandere ROTTMNT x Reader
Info: This will be a full-length fic including multiple ROTTMNT characters, the main storyline revolves around the Mad Dogs
Fic Summary: You sure are likeable, aren't you?
《Directory》
Chapter 5: Shakedowns and Tranq-Downs
Characters: Raph, Leo, Donnie, Mikey
A/N: Sorry for being late! I had a very busy week, so I was very tired and didn't have much energy to write. I kept S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. with his new design, but his old voice, and a slight bias towards Donnie.
If you want to be added to a taglist, just say the word! If you want to draw fanart or make anything based off of this, I would be literally honored. Please don't be shy, I will love whatever you make! If you have any questions about the fic, feel free to ask!
TW: Kidnapping, drugging, mentions of roofies, non-serious hand injuries, toxic relationships, manipulation, condecension, you watch a movie with violence but nothing graphic
I do not condone any of the behaviors found or done in this fic. This story is purely for entertainment purposes. If you or someone you know is being treated like this, please contact the authorities.
Chapter Summary: You are not enjoying watching Lou Jitsu: Teriyaki Shakedown, but you don't really catch a lucky break when it has to be paused.
Word Count: 1926
☆~☆~☆
"Where's our free grub, noodle man?" One of the actors on the screen said, glaring at the pompadoured head that was turning to look at him sideways.
"Okay, ha, how 'bout some... hot soup?" Lou Jitsu said, grabbing the on-screen mobsters and tossing them in the aforementioned bowls of hot soup, making noodles and broth fly all around the shop.
You were distracted from the movie by something poking the edge of your mouth. You looked to to it with your eyes, and it was revealed to be a spoon with ice cream on it. At least, it used to be icey. Seven hours into the Lou Jitsu marathon the brothers had dragged you to watch when they found out you had only seen one of his many, many movies, and you were barley hanging on, but the ice cream had given much sooner, melting into sugary milk soup hours earlier.
Not that Mikey noticed, because he continued to mindlessly feed you spoonfuls. You didn't mind too much that it was melted, because you were going to need whatever form of sugar you could get to make it through the rest of Teriyaki Shakedown.
You opened your mouth, eating the soupy dessert while Leo tightened his arms around your shoulders. At the start of the marathon, Leo had snatched you and settled you down you on his lap while he sat criss-cross on the chair in the middle of the projector room. This earned him dirty looks from his brothers, but he didn't seem bothered at all. They had attempted to steal you from him a few times, but Leo was persistent. He wouldn't let go of you or entertain his brother's complaints, demands, or arguments.
After another thirty minutes of watching Lou Jitsu beat up bad guys, Donnie's phone buzzed. He almost lazily held it up to his face, but his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates upon seeing whatever text he had received. He immediately jumped up, grabbed the remote, and switched off the movie, earning complaints and shouts from his brothers, but secretly earned your gratitude. You weren't sure that you could take much more of Mr. Jitsu.
"What gives, Donnie?!" Leo snapped, pulling your back closer to his chest and leaning forwards, glaring at his purple-clad twin. Donnie held up a hand at his angry brothers, "Bad news, April texted, and she's going to be over in 5 minutes," he said this with a hint of panic in his usual voice, and his brothers immediately panicked and yelled and dashed around the projector room, tidying things up. "Who's April?" You asked from the chair, now sitting alone on it after Leo had dashed from it. The turtles stopped in their tracks and went quiet at your question for a moment, before Leo answered, "Nobody, hermanito!" He nervously laughed, and the brothers resumed their living-room clean up.
You watched them throw things back into place, so focused that you didn't notice Donnie sneaking up behind you, a syringe in the claws of one of his metal arms. He plunged it into your neck, which made wooziness overtake you. You fell off the chair because you couldn't hold yourself upright, but Donnie's metal arms caught you before you could faceplant on the floor. He held you up as he carried you away, all of your senses fading as whatever drug he had injected into you took hold.
☆~☆~☆
April O'Neil strolled into the projector room as she had done many times in the past to see three of the the Hamato brothers looking like somebody had yelled "Act natural!" five seconds before she had walked in. Leo was "reading" his favorite Jupiter Jim comic book in Splinter's chair, his eyes unblinking. Mikey and Raph were both hunched over at the table behind the chair, playing chess.
That was when April knew something was up. Those two played chess once and then swore to never touch it again. Raph couldn't remember all the rules and got super frustrated, and Mikey was of the opinion that the game was mind-numbingly boring. "What's up?" April asked, her hand on her hip and her eyes narrowing in suspicion. Mikey snapped his head in her direction, feigning casual surprise, "April! We-did-not-hear-you-come-in!" He said, his words and the way he said feeling scripted, like a laser tag or escape room employee. "Yuh-huh, yeah. What's goin' on? You never play chess!"
The three turtles were now all sweating, beads of it falling down their faces at a rapid pace. Raph held up a finger and opened his mouth, but no words came out.
A wave of relief washed over the brothers when Donnie walked back into the room, casual as ever. "Hello, April," He said, stopping to greet his friend. "Hi there, Donnie," She answered back, turning her attention to the semi-scientist, "Your brothers are acting real-" "Weird? Yeah, they do that a lot. Haven't you noticed by now?" April looked like she wanted to say something more, but kept her mouth shut. She would investigate this later.
☆~☆~☆
You opened your eyes, your vision blurry. Outlines in your view bounced around like a windows screensaver, the pounding in your head doing nothing to help your vision. You opened your mouth in a silent groan. You had only been trapped in the Lair, as the turtles called it, for a few days, but aside from when they knocked you out to bring you there, this hadn't been the first time Donnie had done this. He claimed he was a genius, so couldn't he make a tranquilizer that didn't make you feel like what adults described having a hangover was like?
You leaned your head back on the desk chair you were sitting on and waited for the headache to wain, and wondered if people were looking for you. Maybe, maybe not. The police probably weren't. People leigons more important than you were going missing, and other crimes were being committed, too. The NYC police force would spare a glance to a random missing teenager when Hell froze over, world peace was achieved, and no packs of gum had been stolen from any pharmacies.
Despite all of your thinking, your headache became manageable in the time of your reflection. You cautiously stood up from the chair and walked a few steps, and when your brain failed to feel like it had a bullet in it, you began to trek around in the unfamiliar part of the lair.
It appeared to be some sort of laboratory, which along with the purple theme, immediately informed you it was Donnie's turf. It was dark, the only source of light being an indigo beam from high up on the ceiling, which you didn't bother to walk to the fancy table in the middle of the room to look up at. You wandered behind the desk you had woken up at, eyes adjusting to the near-darkness, when you had tripped over something large and heavy. Your hands had shot out in front of you to stop you from face-planting onto the tile.
As soon as pain burst across your palms, a door to your far right that you didn't know was there opened, the light from that crept through the doorway and between whoever had opened the door shining in your eyes and practically blinding you.
"What happened?!" The voice, which revealed itself to be Donnie's, sounded shocked with a hint of annoyance seeping in, "You weren't supposed to get up!" He switched on the lights, blinding you further, and rushed over to you. His metal robot arms scooped you up from under your armpits, like how one might hold a cat, and plopped you down on the table in the center of the room.
He turned your hands over to inspect your palms for any visible injuries with a furrowed brow. When he concluded that your palms were only reddened, he relaxed the slightest bit. “I have to get bandages for your hands. Stay here.” He walked off and through another door that presumably led to another part of the lab. You watched his battleshell disappear around the corner, lowering your head and sulking.
“Greetings.”
Your head snapped up to find a purple, aviatic robot flying about a foot from your head. You gasped as your eyes widened, staring in surprise and curiosity. “My apologies, it was not my intention to frighten you. I merely desire to introduce myself. I am S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N., I was created by your brother, Donatello, as an assistant to him and your other brothers, and your father, as well.” You didn’t bother to tell S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. that they weren’t your brothers, and that their father wasn’t yours. You had already tried it with the turtles, and they would either shut you down completely or act like you didn’t say anything at all.
“Oh, okay. Donnie made you?”
“Yes, that is correct. He is quite the genius.”
“Okay.”
“Ah, I see you’ve acquainted yourself with S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. in my absence.”
You and S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. both glanced over to see Donatello in the doorway, first-aid kit in hand. He strolled over to the two of you, S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. moving to the side so Donnie could patch you up. He set the first-aid kit down on the messy table beside you, opening it and pulling out a balm of some kind and a single glove made out of plastic, akin to one a doctor would wear. Donnie pulled it on his hand, the other two fingers left dangling as there was no use for them. He dipped two of his fingers in the balm, using his other hand to hold one of your palms up at time as he spread the balm over them. You had to admit, it was soothing.
"Donnie?"
"Hm?" He didn't look up at your face, busying himself with wrapping your palms with bandages.
"Why do you have to use that roofie thing every time you wanna take me somewhere? You could just ask me."
He let out a sigh of annoyance, "It is not a 'roofie'. Roofie's are used by degenerates with malicious intentions. I merely subdue you because you are adjusting to life here and you cannot handle overwhelming visual stimuli that will come with seeing too much of the lair at the moment." He said, as if every Lou Jitsu movie wasn't "overwhelming visual stimuli".
You hung your head again, pouting at his dissmissive answer. He noticed this and furrowed his brow again, lifting your chin with a single finger to make you look at him, "I am doing this for your own benefit. I'm only doing what's best for you." You nodded to get him to stop talking, feeling a ramble was coming on. Normally, you didn't mind rambling in the slightest, but his opinions on your competence in taking care of yourself often left you with hurt feelings and tears in your eyes.
Donnie's phone buzzed, and he opened it to find much more pleasent news for him. "April has gone home. It's time to finish Teriyaki Shakedown, don't you think?" He said, it obviously not being a question despite it's phrasing. "Don't worry, I won't let Leo hog you again." You merely nodded. Maybe after the movie, you would finally get to go to sleep or eat some real food.
☆~☆~☆
A/N: Be careful, April!

@deliicacymercy made this amazing fanart for the fic snip-it I posted of Rory, so who am I to deny them the full chapter.
Here's the first chapter of "The Knack," my Transformers OC fic.
Notes: its a Knockout-Centric Fic with a human OC. Breakdown is alive and well. Optimus is alive and well. Set in the Prime Universe: Post Predacons Rising, Pre-RID15 (or disregarding RID15 in general)
Chapter 1: Never Happened
“Knockout. Are you coming back soon?” Breakdown asked through his radio.
“Soon enough.” He replied. Even though he was in vehicle mode, it sounded as if he was gritting his dentaplates. “I have a human watching me.”
His partner laughed through the intercom. “What? Afraid to blow you’re cover? You’ve never cared about that slag before. Where are you?”
“Sending my coordinates. I was on my way home but ran into some… trouble. I’m trying to keep a low profile. This human looks like a screamer.”
“Speeding again?”
“Bingo, BD. This area is flooded with human law enforcement vehicles. I swear it’s like there’s one on every corner… Prime said we’re supposed to be ‘robots in disguise.’ If I make another scene Ratchet will make me do hotspot duty. Again.”
“Right. Well-”
“Finally! The human is leaving. Knockout; Out.” He ended the transmission quickly as the human in question walked closer to the car. Instead of continuing down the sidewalk, they stopped next to Knockout’s side mirror. They pulled a piece of paper off the thing they had been fiddling with, then flipped it over and scribbled something on the back.
It took everything Knockout had not to smack them away as they lifted up one of his windshield wipers and tucked the paper neatly under it. He was trying to be a better bot. If he kept causing issues, the Autobots might have second thoughts about giving him so much freedom. He remained tense as the human placed their hand on his hood.
“Don’t see many beauties like you around here.” They said under their breath. “Thanks for letting me draw you. Love the sticker thing.” Then, they patted his hood and walked away.
Knockout sat there for a moment stunned. First, yes, he was quite beautiful. More humans should be like this one and notice that. Second, they had spoken to him. Not at him. Not to some fake driver. Him. Third, they had touched him. Their grubby little human fingerprints were no doubt on his hood now. He was going to have to pull over and fix that before returning to base. Not to mention whatever it was that they stuck under his window wiper. It was terribly itchy.
Still, he watched them turn the corner down the street. He had many questions. Were any of them worth pursuing? The blinking missed message from Breakdown on his dash told him no.
“Stay out of trouble, Speedster.” The text read.
He turned on his engine then rolled out. He would stay out of trouble… for now.
Knockout pulled over at an abandoned gas station far outside the city. He ran a quick scan and found no incoming vehicles in the immediate proximity. He was far enough from the highway to be out of sight as long as he remained under the canopy. He took a ‘running’ start and flipped into robot mode inches before ducking under cover.
First thing first; he pulled the thin sheet from between his plating. It had ended up in his abdomen under his central chest plate but it was easy enough to remove. Really, it was remarkable the little thing didn’t tear.
He was about to toss it aside but a streak of cherry red caught his attention. On the paper was a loose render of his alt. mode. It looked like the concept cars he’d seen in automobile enthusiast magazines. Knockout stared at the little image for a long moment.
It was beautiful, in a sort of imperfect way. Even the stray lines worked in its favor.
Artistry was not foreign to him. While he didn’t exactly consider himself an artist, he knew artistry well. When someone is passionate about something, it shows in their work. Which is how his finish looked the way it looked; Breakdown was always incredibly meticulous and careful. This had a similar level of care.
Why would the human leave this for him?
He turned it over to the back and found a short message. “Love the paint job. - @ky-ltd.”
“Kai L-T-D?” He repeated aloud incredulously.
Was this some kind of bribe? If they knew he was sentient, then was this some passive way of sucking up to him? Was he that obvious?
He shook the thought away. Maybe it was something he could ask Fowler about at a later date. Though, the agent was skeptical, at best, of the former Decepticon. Who’s to say he would answer him honestly.
Next problem: the smudge on his now chest plate. It was extremely tiny. Barely visible. But ‘barely’ might not cut it. If the Autobots thought he’d been hanging out with a human, he’d never hear the end of it.
He chuckled to himself at the thought.
Humans were disgusting.
Knockout pulled a microfiber cloth from his glovebox, which was now a small compartment in his chest. The graphite smear came off with a single swipe.
“There.” He sighed as he tucked the cloth away. “It never happened.” He paused to look at the little piece of paper between his digits. “It never…” Before he completed his thought, he shoved the paper in his glove box and flipped into vehicle mode.

Meet the Team - Meliko, Audio Lead
Say hello to our Audio Lead, the incredibly inspiring Meliko, who is composing all the music for our game! You can find them on: tumblr @melikochan twitter: @melikomakes instagram: @melikomakes
Tumblr media
Hey! I’m Meliko, and I can never decide on just one thing to do. I’m an artist, musician, and writer, with most of my fanworks belonging to the Horizon fandom. I’m doing interface design, sound effects, and music for the game.  I remember being immediately drawn to Horizon when it was first announced. Lush, vibrant, post-apocalyptic landscape? Check. Robot dinosaurs? Check check. Badass redheaded protagonist? Yeah, there was no way I wasn’t going to love this series. I played Zero Dawn, took a deep breath, and then immediately replayed it. Then again.  Though my love of the series started early, and I would occasionally reblog Horizon posts I found on Tumblr, I didn’t seek out and join the fandom until Forbidden West came out. The series resparked both my interest in writing fanfic and drawing fanart, which I hadn’t really done in years. It’s been a blast!
Q&A
What is a favourite piece of work you've done  (i.e. completed, working on, in concept), OR what is something you’ve always wanted to create for fandom? 
My recent multichapter Aloy/Alva fic, By the Love of the Ancestors. It ended up being twice as long as I’d scoped it, but I’m very happy with how it came out and the emotional depth I was able to build.
What are some of your favourite tropes (to read, write, draw, etc)?
I can’t resist a good enemies to lovers, or better yet—best friends divided by fate, brought back together in the end. It's probably my favorite kind of story across all mediums. I’m also a sucker for hurt/comfort, and smut with feelings. When it comes to writing, I like exploring characters through my work and their relationships, and I tend to obsess over expanding on the overall worldbuilding.
What is an unexpected thing or fun fact about you?
I’ve had this nickname since kindergarten!
What has been your favourite thing about working on this project so far?
Collaborating with so many fantastic community members, and getting to bring my music into the fandom as well.

What made u like atsutodo :3
short answer: the fanarts that came out like immediately after ep 22 aired. then the barrage of extra content i found out this year
long answer:
the lack of information mixed with fan's interpretations of atsushi's character and overall a growing necessity to ship the matsus with other characters. at the time people had very little to work with, the show was sparse with introducing new characters since they often if not always were 1 offs that we weren't sure that would appear again (they changed this in later seasons ofc but we didn't know that at the time) so people got attached to those 1 offs. and naturally with fandoms people want to explore the concepts of characters dating you know the roll. but they had little to work with in the main cast. so they turned to the 1 offs. so when ep 22 came out people interested interested in shipping stuff saw atsushi and went insane. despite having almost nothing people still made interesting and fun dynamics with what they had! :-P this is where the most varied takes on atsushi come from, and it's honestly rlly fun to look back at fanart and fics from this time because people had super different perceptions of this One Guy that showed up for like 6 seconds total. some people thought of him as a cool regular guy that liked totty, some thought he was some sort of millionare trying to buy todomatsu's love, and so on. anything was possible really, they made shit up on the spot and there was nothing that could tell them otherwise. :-P and i remember back then i didn't have like, a personality in mind for atsushi either? or a specific dynamic, i just liked seeing them together and what people came up with s1 ends, and a few months pass and i'm not really that interested in the show but i still like it, i'm not keeping up with new media like hesokuri wars and i miss stuff like the atsushi set, etc. season 2 comes, i'm haphazardly watching it more as a casual viewer, and then it ends.
And then the movie . Ohhh the movie.
i went a crazy insane and i think that's where the genuine interest for the character and the ship started. like i'm writing this now and my mind is listing all the shit off my brain like they really gave the guy: -new lines -smug personality -HISTORY. WITH THE MAIN CAST. -new highschool design -rivalry type of dynamic and direct interaction with todomatsu like it was a game changer!!!!!! i was so excited!!!!! and 3 days later i forgot about it and didn't think about the movie or show again. :-P i wasn't caught up with all the extra media content via the games and i wasn't involved with the fanbase either so it just forgor.
until. 2023. i watched the 3rd season, i got hyperfixated with the show and now i WAS invested in the extra media, and i saw all the sets he had and all the interactions he had with totty on those and then i saw the skit in the 3rd season. and i was like wow they really pandered to the people liking the ship huh. lol thats funny. cute even. i still like them but i don't think i'm as insane about them as i used to be lol (denial)
and unlike back when i first started liking the ship now we had information about atsushi, not his entire life ofc but just enough to make a coherent dynamic with the provided info and fill in the rest. :-P and my mind went wild until with ideas until i figured out a dynamic i personally liked and could reflect in my drawings!!!
so yeah. i think this is the most invested i've been in a ship in a long time and that's because my interest for it has been cooking in the back of my brain for so long that my brain exploded like a pressure cooker and this is the result.......

Author's Session with Haqiyin Part 2
I am Alexio Sospranio, and you’re listening to the kaisoo fic podcast.
For new listeners, the kaisoo fic podcast is a space where we discuss literature found in the kaisoo world.. 
Just a brief rundown of what will happen in this episode. This episode is a two part episode. First part was posted two days ago on the 12th, the second part is today, the 14th. Special kaisoo dates!
Previously, the first part we discussed haqiyin’s defining fics, fics she finds she has a unique attachment to, and we learnt a bit more on who haqiyin is as a writer and artist. Today, on the 14th we will be looking at the three ‘i’s.
Tumblr media
Diving into the three ‘i’s are Inspiration, Influence and Impact. Author’s inspiration for ideas, having others as influence for their direction and the author’s impact on the kaisoo fic community.
Inspiration 
Let’s just jump right into it. This segment is the first of the three ‘i’s. The three ‘i’s are Inspiration, Influence and Impact. This segment we are looking at haqiyin’s inspiration for ideas.
It is a long question so i’ll split it into drawing and writing.
From your visual eye, what comes first for inspiration? How do you choose the image you have in your mind?
In all honesty, I draw whenever I feel like it. I already do designing in my day to day job so I don’t feel like drawing all the time. My creativity juice flows only when I feel like it. For inspiration, I pick and choose what kind of pictures or concept I like, for example; the trending ass in the window one, it was a spur of the moment, I whipped out my iPad and drew it in under an hour. Same goes for other fanarts I did. 
I would see a picture or reference and I go “Oh Kaisoo would fit in this” and save it to draw. If I like the reference enough and have the energy, I’ll draw immediately and post it. But there are other fanarts that I took my time with, such as The Eve Kaisoo and NSFW fanarts of course. 
I see, so for drawing, inspiration comes when it comes.
Now from your literary eye for inspiration for your fics. Do you see the kaisoo scene first? Or you hear a dialogue? Or do you see a scene and think oh wow it reminds me of kaisoo, and from there how do the pieces come together? Is it from small ideas first that slowly builds or a big overarching idea first then the task to sieve out the small details?
Inspiration for fics usually comes from dialogues for me. I would think of a dialogue or a line that I’d imagine one of them would say and go from there. For example, the fic ‘My Dear’ comes from the line I imagined Kyungsoo solemnly saying “My peace is you forever, and I hope I am your peace too.” then I construct the plot from that. Sometimes I mix and match from the notes/ideas that I’ve written down, like certain dialogues would fit with another plot I had an idea for, so I would combine and just write it like that. 
I don’t prefer to write a generic idea first because I focus on details too much. So I struggle a little when I am following a prompt like kinktober or ficfest, because I get the idea to write about ‘ABO’ for example, but then what is the ABO even about? What is the detail? I would struggle a bit more if I don’t have details as foundation for the fic. 
I imagined the generic idea is like a house without support. I need the pillars and foundation (details/tidbits of scene) to support the house and build it from the ground up.
Wow, building from the ground up… i never thought of it in that manner. Details, characteristics and quotes are the foundation of a good fic. And again, you have a catalogue of everything, very admirable. You don’t lose sight of things. 
And i love that quote you use to define your ‘my dear’ fic. It’s really…  “My peace is you forever, and I hope I am your peace too.” And I guess for listeners who have yet to read haqiyin’s ‘my dear’ fic, it would really rouse curiosity within them to want to read the fic. Listeners, if you have yet to read the fic… all i can say that you have one month to read it before we get to looking into the fic proper as that is what the next month’s episode will be for hehehe, i’m so excited.
This is it for the inspiration segment.
Influence
Now, the next segment is the second of the three ‘i’s. We have Inspiration, Influence and Impact. This segment we are looking at those who influence haqiyin’s direction.
Haqiyin, who are your three most influential figures? In terms of fic writers who you look up to or fan artists you would like to learn from?
Influential figures in the sense of writings and world-building, I’d say Darren Shan the author of the published saga of Cirque Du Freak. 
As for AO3 writers, I’d say AceBaseFaceSpace and Indigomini in terms of smut, characters chemistry and creativity. 
Woah, you must really enjoy fantasy and supernatural elements… Darren Shan’s saga is vampire au and of course AceBaseFaceSpace also has a lot of that and fantasy aus, one of them being orc Kyungsoo and elf Jongin. And of course, Indigomini is a classic writer! She really has good smut writing, I mean she has smut fics, on top of pwp. 
But okay, pause a second - haqiyin, have you read indigomini’s ‘Hi, Water You Doing?’ 
I just want to give a shoutout to that fic because it is a short and memorable read. This fic literally made me laugh out loud while I was laying down on my bed. I think indigomini has that charm. It is so funny… and interestingly enough, it is actually a pwp. 
If you, dear listener, have about 5 minutes to read this hilarious 2k word fic, please do so. To put it frankly, the build up to the penetration is not very arousing, so it is not really wank worthy, but as i mentioned earlier indigomini has smut fics for us to yknow, have fun with. But do check out ‘Hi, Water You Doing?’, trust me, you’ll also laugh out loud.
And with that we have come to the end of the second ‘i’ segment, Influence.
Impact 
Now, the next segment is the last of the three ‘i’s. We have Inspiration, Influence and Impact. This segment we are looking at is the author’s impact on the kaisoo fic community.
Haqiyin, what has been your favourite AU to write, and why? 
ABO AU is my go-to, and fluff of course! And I notice X-EXO is a great AU to explore too. As for why ABO and X-EXO Au… I’ll just say that the possibilities are endless with those AUs. It’s flexible, it has its own rules of course but overall, you can bend and do whatever plot line you want with it. 
I agree that it has its own rules where you can bend and do almost everything with it. The fic that comes to mind right now is your ‘perfect fit’ where we have half wolf Kyungsoo getting down with wolf Jongin. And with the added second gender, you can really explore a lot of world building elements. Like societal hierarchies and of course relationship dynamics. And it also depends on the author how deep they want to get into the technicalities and the dynamics of it all.
Second question for the author’s impact on the community segment is: What kind of writer do you consider yourself as? For example, what is the one thing you hold dear to when writing? Or what is something you would never write?
I would consider myself as a smut-writer because I tend to focus on sex tropes or aus and kinks. Though I’m slowly writing more and more heavy plots, the smut part would never be abandoned. 
What I hold dear to when I’m writing is the emotion of the character I’m writing for. For example, KaiSoo is derived from Jongin and Kyungsoo, which are real people out there, so depending on the plot I’m writing for, I try to mix in my perception of what they would feel and say and act. I would say that I’m excellent in reading body language and mannerisms but I am just human, I cannot read minds or feelings. So as far as how I’m writing them, it is just from my observation and perception of them, never the real them. 
Something that I would never write is probably cheating or infidelity. Personally speaking, I am very possessive and jealous, and cheating on a partner to me is betrayal that one cannot be forgiven. The trope upsets me so I tend to avoid the tags and plot revolving around it. Even if it’s Kaisoo that cheats on their partner to be with each other, I still don’t like it because it’s unfair to those who were cheated on. 
I definitely agree, cheating is the biggest thing I cannot stomach. And the point you hold dear to when writing… As you write, the emotions are derived from actual people. And it being fanfiction, it is about two people or more where readers are able to see a glimpse of how their favourite people are like in an alternate universe, yet keeping the essence of who they are each time we explore a different side. And as you said, it is never the real them, and we will never know the real them, so it is in this manner that fanfic is fun. We are able to insert our fantasies on who they may be, depending on the different sides of them that authors selectively choose for the different universes.
And upon identifying the things you would like to continue to do, and the things you will never do as a writer,  what’s the biggest thing you learnt while writing fics? Anything surprising or impactful or moving? Be it about the storytelling, the language used or the life lessons?
Biggest thing I had learned was constructing my own style of writing. Since English is not my first language, I had to develop a certain style of writing to help me write smoothly and such. 
And when I’m developing such skills, I can’t help but notice the way I speak and think are incorporated within my writing. It’s difficult to explain but whenever I read my own stuff I can’t help but notice how much it sounds like me. It’s like a signature. 
When I try to compare the style of writing with others, it all blurs in comparison. I cannot distinctly remember others’ style of writing but I know what mine looks like. 
That sounds quite satisfying actually. Where a writer is able to literally leave their mark into the community.
But tapping a bit on the first thing you mentioned for this question, where you talked about constructing your own style. Could you maybe give us a small run through, what does that look like? 
Gaps. I love separating sentences so much. Sometimes I would write one liners as if I’m writing down poems or quotes.
A small run through of my writing style would consist of; a rough idea of the AU/plot, a picture/video of reference, a notable or key dialogue in the plot, rough idea of the ending. 
Then I’ll start the intro with a short introduction of the situation or circumstances. Sometimes starting with a dialogue, whichever fits the situation.
I’ll write in small portions of a paragraph, mainly 3-4 sentences in one paragraph. Because I don’t want it to be cramped when I’m reading via mobile. I’m particular with how long a paragraph should be when I’m reading it on my phone.
I’ll end the story with a one liner or a short ending sentence. 
Wow… actually that is quite evident in your works, I agree. It becomes a very conscious effort to write and that you are very mindful about how you structure your writing… and i think that, as you said earlier, is your signature. 
And with all the things you have learnt, haqiyin, what is your favourite part of being a writer?
Producing plots and lines that I enjoy reading. I write because I wanted it to be specific and catered to my needs. I try not to cringe when rereading my previous works that I don’t feel proud of, but everyone needs to grow and be better in some ways. My bad fics are proof that I sucked a few times and manage to write nice ones later on. 
And of course, my reader’s reactions and support! I kept writing and even returned from my hiatus (when I was absorbed with Hogwarts Legacy) because I missed Kaisoo community and the latest update with them. 
I have to mention that I am friends and mutuals with a few writers, which is very pleasant and fun because I didn’t create any friends when I was a writer for OnTae fics. 
Aw, that’s so sweet. So two reasons why you love being a writer. One, because you are able to make your ideas, imaginations, your preferences come to life. And two, because you have a good community. Supportive readers and passionate writers. The best combination.
With your experience, all 8 years of it, from highschool to your mid 20s, what do you think makes a great story?
Personal outlook on a trope or plot. I’ve read the most extravagant style of writing with a boring plot and the most precious plot and world-building but unorganised writing, be it grammar, spellings, way of speaking and even the format of dialogues. 
A great story is not a measurement of how many words you wrote in a single chapter, because I’ve read fantastic smut and plot in a small 3k oneshot, or even less than 1k. 
A great story is when an author successfully delivers a beautiful or interesting plot with significance. A great story to me is when I, as a reader, can walk into the author’s head when I’m reading their story. 
That’s quite magical. A great story is when an author successfully delivers a beautiful or interesting plot with significance.
As you have identified what makes a great story, is there a must read fic you wanna recommend to listeners? Could be your own fic, or it could be your comfort fic by another author or could be a fic you’re reading now. Anything fic related on your mind!
Snake - Cosmo_WakeUp
It’s a fantastic hybrid fic and I love the creativity of the smut in this
Wrapped in Plastic (It’s Fantastic)  - indigomini 
Same as before but this one plays with clones, which inspired my fic Wrong Button
Notable authors are Melings, Maokun, K_Borealis (Kaus), AceBaseFaceSpace,  Kainnuendo and SooSooDyo 
Each author brings something different to the kaisoo literature scene, and we are very grateful for that.
Indigomini’s fic, I can definitely see similarities between Wrapped in Plastic and your Wrong Button. Both happen in a sort of… hotel ish? A hotel, brothel ish kinda vibe where you provide your sexual preference onto a sort of AI bot? 
I saw the tags for Cosmo_WakeUp’s fic, Snake… I understand why you say the smut is creative. But looking at the tags again… to me it is a bit… weird, but the premise is definitely interesting. You have the owl hybrid Kyungsoo and snake hybrid Jongin… I’ll read it one day.
Closing Ment
Before we end things, dear haqiyin, do you have any other comments you want to share with us listeners? Any teasers for ongoing AUs or a hint of upcoming AUs you have in your work in progress stage?
As of now, I’m drafting another one shot fic similar to My Dear, angst and tragedy-driven, but I’ll not say when that will finish. And I can say for sure that I’ll be joining this year’s Kinktober fest! If there is any other fest, I’ll check em’ out and maybe I’ll join them! We’ll see!
Oh myyy another ‘my dear’ mdm i am so sedated and ready to cry. And with that we will always wait patiently. And we are definitely eager to read your postings for this year’s kinktober fest too.
Haqiyin, i just wanted to thank you, so much for being part of this kaisoo fic podcast. I am just so very grateful that we got to meet like this. You’ve been very enthusiastic, supportive and very accommodating. It has been an honour to share this episode with you. 
Dear listener, the link to the author’s ao3 and twitter profile will be given below in the notes section. And with that we have come to the end of today’s episode. Do keep a lookout for the next episode because we will be going through one of the three significant fics written by haqiyin, titled ‘my dear’. If you have yet to read haqiyin’s classic text, it would be very encouraging of you to do so before we get to next month’s episode. New episodes every 13th of the month, in commemoration of kaisoo day in january.
Thank you for listening, have a good day, dear kaisooist, and we look forward to next month’s episode. Stay tuned.

Alright, so apparently certain love square shippers felt the need to go into the Lukanette tag to celebrate/mock that Lukanette is “over” (Marinette broke up with him to keep him safe but go off I guess) and that officially crosses all my lines of not dealing with the fandom’s garbage.
The sheer pettiness is astounding to me, to take joy in the end of what was a lot of people’s comfort ship (people don’t choose comfort ships, by the way) because of “toxic Luka/Lukanette stans,” essentially lumping chunks of the fandom together and letting the opinion of those fans shape their own opinion on a character/ship. The sheer sensitivity on display to have so much spite and disdain for a ship that appeared in less than 10% of all episodes in the show. The sheer vindictiveness to feel smug and self-righteous while also being panicked over a non-endgame ship that’s as temporary as their claim of positivity and condemning of salt until they’re presented with something they don’t like.
Goliath really be beating up on David over here because he's bigger and thinks his opinion is more valid. For the record, no, opinions are not more valid due to shipping an endgame ship or presenting oneself as a beacon of positivity.
And it just goes to show how ship-blind these people are, to care about nothing more than the fact that Lukanette has broken up. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve seen people who openly admit to caring more about the love square’s security than Marinette’s happiness, which is just part of the issue here.
These people did not care how Lukanette broke up, only that it happened. Marinette’s crush backpedaling (because of the show feeling the need to cater to these exact people, who are so worried about their obviously endgame ship being “in danger”) and Marinette ending the episode in literal tears because she wanted to date Luka but couldn’t are both things that didn’t matter to them because it’s all about their ship in the end. Marinette’s life has been made more and more miserable due to her crush on Adrien while straining her relationships with various characters (see: Alya’s claim of jealousy as a reason for why Marinette “must be lying” about Lila), but so long as these people feel secure in their endgame ship, that’s all that matters.
They didn’t care if it was a clean break where both sides came out satisfied (or at least content). If anything, they wanted Lukanette to end as shoddily/dirtily as possible with zero care into how it affected Marinette, whether because they just don’t like the ship or because they actively desire for the suffering of the people who found comfort/happiness in the ship. Adrien had literally nothing to do with the break-up itself and him being mentioned served nothing for the story, but it’ll be completely overlooked or outright praised because god forbid Marinette spend an episode not talking about Adrien since that would imply that her life doesn’t revolve around him and that would be an apparent detriment to the love square.
By the way, newsflash: Luka was not an obstacle to the love square. He sent Marinette away in “Frozer” to go talk to Adrien. He told her that there was no pressure and that he’d be happy for her no matter what. Had Luka not existed, the love square would still be as stagnant as it is now, and it’s pathetic to complain about Marinette liking/dating another boy when she’s not only allowed to do so, but when “Oblivio” and “Chat Blanc” both exist as little more than tools to hold the supposedly “starved” love square shippers over.
These are the same people who will say they dislike/hate Luka, then do a 180 and claim that they “just feel so bad for him” and how he “deserves better than Marinette” (the sudden sympathy of which conveniently serves to hate on a ship that interferes with their own, further proven by equally convenient and appreciation/liking of Luka when he’s not a “threat” to the love square) while simultaneously shipping her with their sunshine boy because Ladybug is who Adrien wants and what Adrien wants is what matters.
These are the same people who will say that Luka is unnecessary and unneeded, then use him as a prop and stepping stone for love square fanfics and fanart, or suggest that Kagami is fine because she makes Adrien feel good about himself (when Luka does the same for Marinette but sure).
These are the same people who say that “Marinette can’t date Luka because she’s busy with hero stuff” while making fics about the love square getting together mid-”hero stuff” and then giving complete radio silence during “Chat Blanc” outside of how good they thought the episode was.
These are the same people who will tell others not to denounce Adrien for “a few mistakes” and then preemptively denounce Luka’s behavior based on a written synopsis for an episode that hadn’t even come out yet (and also after complaining that Luka was “too perfect,” I might add).
These are the same people who will say that Luka/Lukanette makes them feel “uncomfortable” (usually without offering any tangible reasons or being vague about Luka giving off “bad vibes” when he’s done nothing less than support and respect Marinette's agency) while the show’s endgame ship features the “m’lady” hand kissing Chat Noir who Ladybug has pulled away from multiple times yet he keeps persisting (which is apparently considered okay because Adrien is Chat Noir as if that discredits her discomfort/disdain for the gestures).
These are the same people who will say that Luka is “barely there” or “hardly exists” and then complain about how much screentime is dedicated to Lukanette, the utter greed on display going right over their heads when they have the actual endgame ship.
These are the same people who will absolutely reach for anything about Luka to complain about (again, after saying that he’s “too perfect,” then claiming he “tricked” Marinette into kissing him, claiming that he tried to force her into telling him her secret, or criticizing him for teasing her for her stuttering despite him immediately apologizing) and then either defend or turn a blind eye to Chat Noir (who tried to kiss her mid-battle instead of helping, made Ladybug feel bad for keeping secrets that weren’t hers to tell plus threatening his kwami that he’d quit if he didn’t get let in on said secrets, and mocked her instead of apologizing when she told him to stop calling her by a nickname she doesn’t like and has told him before to stop calling her) at every opportunity.
These are the same people who will say that Lukanette is “forced,” then proceed to ship Luka (regardless of if they like him or not) with literally anyone else for the sake of taking him out of the romance equation (because he has to be taken out via already dating as they couldn’t come up with a legitimate reason for Marinette to not want him otherwise), and the only requirement for this person he’s shipped with is that they breathe and aren’t Marinette.
These are the same people who act bothered by Marinette “””treating Luka poorly””” because of her crush on Adrien (by the by, Adrien’s crush on Ladybug has hurt Kagami as well), inadvertently admitting that Marinette’s crush is a problem, then continue shipping her with Adrien in its canon form anyway.
These are the same people who will say that they hate salt fics (specifically ones that target Adrien) and how they “bash characters,” then write fanfics or draw fanart that intentionally make Luka out of character for the sake of having him look bad or giving Marinette an excuse to run to Adrien (because Luka apparently needs to be made worse so that Adrien can look good instead of Adrien being able to stand on his own merits as a good love interest for Marinette).
These are the same people who will slam Luka when he’s Marinette’s support, then go off and ship him with other characters so that he can support them instead (fun fact that this is usually either Adrien - thus leaving Marinette completely alone and miserable when Luka canonically likes her - or characters that Marinette is actively against, such as Chloe or Lila).
These are the same people who will complain about how salty the fandom is (even when the salt is for catharsis/getting out anger from an episode in a productive way) and then laugh when a simple side ship ends because they’ve been letting said ship live rent free in their heads and couldn’t stop anticipating the episode that declares them “over.”
These are the same people who tell or suggest that people should “just leave” if they don’t like the main ship, unapologetically implying that the main ship is either all the show is about, all that they personally care about (bringing us right back to that little “not caring how torn apart Marinette is about the break-up” thing), or that people aren’t allowed to watch/like the show for other reasons (like Marinette herself, the miraculouses, other characters who may appear intermittently but nevertheless bring them joy to see, etcetera).
These are the same people who get on other people’s case for being spiteful while they themselves ride their high horse into the sunset, playing victim when people call them out for intentionally provoking others or purposefully mistagging to avoid people’s blacklist (tagging is not for the comfort of the tagger so they can “””avoid the toxic stans,””” for the record; it’s for the comfort of the people who don’t want to see that content).
And these are the same people who will go on and on about the toxicity of the stans who ship something they don’t like and then either ignore or downplay the stans who ship what they do like because they personally don’t have to experience it. This isn’t even about ship wars, it’s about the hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness.
I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear about how cruel the Luka fans or Lukanette shippers are when these people are celebrating Marinette’s misery because it means the end of a ship that they don’t like and certain people find comfort in. I don’t want to hear about people cross-tagging/mistagging when the Luka/Lukanette tag has been flooded with people who talk trash about the ship without any additional tags to filter it away, getting so bad to the point where some Luka/Lukanette fans had to find workarounds and/or avoid the tag entirely. I don’t want to hear about how certain shippers are worse because [x] [y] [z] when everyone has different experiences, showing a severe case of close-mindedness or at least ignorance on these people’s parts.
And, with how this season is heading, if something bad happens to the love square by the end of Season 4, I most definitely do not want to hear these same people decry the people who will do the exact thing that they’re doing now.

Hi! I don't know if you've been asked this before, if that's the case, I apologize for the repetition. How do you feel about BTS RPF (basically fanfiction and fanart if anyone isn't aware of the acronym)? Do you engage with it? If yes, what are your favorite content creators, be it artists or writers?
Fun. I had an argument with a user about this.
Art is sort of a middle ground where if it happens to be there and the artistry is well-done and fits my aesthetic, I'm not shy about giving accolades where it's due. But the art I view tends to be generic OT7/individual pieces. There are Jikook artists that I've seen here and there through RTs, and outside of the RPS portrayals, they're unquestionably talented. Cherry (I think that's her name?) is a Jikook artist that I can think of off the top of my head, but it's her art style that's most appealing to me rather than her subjects of choice.
Fic is a bit different. I used to read Jikook fic when I started out (I even provided 3 recs here when someone asked a long time ago), but I stopped almost immediately because I was really uncomfortable with it. Those recs, though, are nostalgic enough for me and really well-written that I do revisit them from time-to-time. They're the only exceptions.
It's no secret that I personally find RPS disturbing. I don't care that other people do it, but it matters to me that I found myself shipping real people. I've never ever engaged in it until Jikook, and even now I grapple with the ethics of it. I rationalize it by being as objective as I possibly can and not making concrete statements about their relationship status if I can help it.
There are plenty of talented people in this fandom–artists and writers alike–and I understand the appeal of taking existing people (real people, in this case) who are well-rounded in the way fans see them and fitting them into a fictional universe where the likenesses of these people take shape in ways that are unlike their real counterparts but embody them in spirit. Imaginations are unique and infinite, and creativity is what it is. I refuse to judge people by what they draw or write, as long as they:
Keep it away from the members/don't tag them (because none of them have asked to be shipped, and it's disrespectful to force your perceptions of them onto them),
Maintain those warning tags.
If anyone goes out of their way to look for creative mediums that offends them, that responsibility is theirs and theirs alone. If you have difficulty compartmentalizing real people from their fictional counterparts–if you essentially have trouble thinking for yourself–you are either way too young or you should have the Internet taken away from you.
When it comes to creativity, do whatever the fuck you want. Sure, what someone writes might be gross or offensive to me, but I avoid them because of this little thing called autonomy. It affects my life and my perception of the actual members literally 0%.

Have some of my Stan twins headcanons!
Both:
They are trans men! (This one and any attached HC to this, is not ALWAYS included in my fanart/fics but it's still there)
When either man has a nightmare, they go to each other for comfort, that includes just keeping each other company, cuddling to fall back asleep, whatever they need
They draw together while travelling and show those and the large scrapbook they make to the kids when they visit next
Stan:
He 100% has ADHD
Bisexual w/masc preference
Got top surgery and testosterone from a really shady back alley surgeon/doctor until hrt became normalized
Had PTSD before weirdmageddon but that + the memory wipe worsened it in multiple ways
Actually super cuddly and affectionate but went so long without physical contact that he hates to initiate it
He knows sign language (because in canon he's HoH and doesn't want to risk not being able to communicate if he loses it fully)
Listens to rock and folk-punk
Really creative and artistic (which is obvious considering his line of work) and has endless amounts of sketch books just lying around
Was never actually failing school, he wasn't doing great but he had D's, C's and even B's (only in gym and art but still they count) but his family didn't care
Teaches Mabel and Dipper how to box the next summer they come down
Never admits it but he is incredibly insecure, but wants to seem confident and unbothered when everyone is around
Dated Fiddleford for a bit while he was still somewhat lucid (in their early 30s), but then when he got worse, he forgot Stan was Stan and started referring to him as Ford and he couldn't handle that anymore and tried to distance himself from him
Everytime he gets a new memory, he goes to Ford, because it's really scary and Ford somehow always knows how to help
Has an ACTUAL tattoo on his back, its Ford's hand, he got it when he was sixteen as a surprise for him, to hopefully make him feel better
Actively dating their universe's Rick Sanchez and has been since their late forties (knew him since his early twenties though)
Ford:
Created his own testosterone for himself, and eventually for Fiddleford, Stan and Dipper as well
Also got his top surgery from a back alley surgeon (sort of, they were in training to be a real, certified doctor but wanted MORE practice than they were getting)
Gay through and through
He's autistic AND has ADHD
Dated Fiddleford in college and after weirdmageddon is over (I also go back and forth on thinking he's Tate's dad as well which is it's own little post)
Loves playing cards against humanity while drunk
Has played not so child friendly campaigns for DD&mD (if you catch my drift)
Monster fucker
Learned multiple languages after going through the portal, and then learned sign language for Stan when he came back
Touch starved for sure and will soak up literally any affection given to him
Likes reading to people
Got used to cussing while he was away and slips up in front of the kids constantly (which leads to MANY occasions of one of them saying it and him getting yelled at by Stan who does NOT slip up somehow)
Has ptsd and nightmares due to what happened while he was away and weirdmageddon
Mabel made him a princess unattainabelle dress to wear while playing DD&mD (which he in all honesty adores and does wear multiple times)
Has over 100 tattoos, and is a part of why he wears sweaters (but also because of his scars)
TW Self harm/suicide attempts for the next few
Ford tried to have his extra fingers removed as a teen and then tried to cut them off himself when the doctor's wouldn't do it for him (Stan caught him and stopped him before he could)
Ford attempted suicide 5 times, the first was the night Stan was kicked out and he got rejected by WCT, he tried to overdose but didn't have enough pills to do it. Next was during college, he was stressed out from the work load he had taken on and tried to overdose again, but Fiddleford caught him and saved him. Third time was while he was working with Bill, the demon made some off comment about his family, and Stan, and that set him off, so he tried to slit his throat, once again being saved by Fiddleford. The fourth time was right before Stan showed up, he was going to hang himself if his brother didn't show up, but he did. The final time was about 10 years over on the other side, he lost one of his few friends he had made and was going to shoot himself, but fell through a portal before he could and met Rick Sanchez
While most of Ford's scars are from fighting, there are a lot from him cutting and burning himself when he was younger (and the one on his throat from the one attempt)
Stan also attempted to kill himself, 3 times. First was the night he was kicked out, he tried to drown himself but was pulled to shore by an incredibly worried old man (who he ends up crashing with until he was banned from NJ). Then the second was a few months after the portal incident, he felt hopeless and scared and guilty so he tried to overdose but couldn't keep the pills down and puked them up almost immediately. The last time was the morning the kids were going home, he tries to hang himself, kicks the chair over as soon as Ford comes in to talk to him about the anomalies he found, so luckily he doesn't have the chance to succeed (the kids never find out, Stan made him swear not to tell them)
Stan also has self harm scars, but his are on his stomach and chest, so nobody but Ford, Fiddleford, and Rick know about them
Let me know if anything is spelled wrong/worded oddly and I'll fix it, too much to proofread at the moment😭

Happy AMA @lostinfantasyworlds!
What brought you to the Inuyasha fandom and started your fanfic and fanart journeys?
Thank you so so so much @neutronstarchild!!! 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️Ahhh I love this question!!
I really tried not to ramble too much, but it still got kinda long so put it under a cut!
So I had never actually watched any anime before 2020. Why? I really don't know, especially because my husband has always been a huge anime fan, and had tried to get me to watch some with him for forever. He had grown up loving shows like Inuyasha, and Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.
I guess I just thought it wasn’t “my thing” for whatever reason? Idfk but I was clearly very wrong!
Anywho, he finally managed to convince me to watch the anime Black Clover during the beginning of the 2020 quarantine since we were all stuck at home with nothing to do anyways, and I absolutely loved it!! From that point on, the door had been opened, and I started watching other recommendations he had, mostly of all the classics I had never seen. And then...him and one of his friends decided to suggest Inuyasha...and little did any of us know how that would turn out..... 😂
I watched it, fell head over heels in love with the beautiful love story of InuKag, then immediately watched the whole thing over again and fell even more in love with the show as a whole. At the same time I was lurking on tumblr, which turned into the creation of this blog and my interacting with the fandom!
As for the second part of your question, I had been in fandoms before, but had never really read a whole lot of fanfic, and had never tried my hand at fanart either. But after watching/reading Inuyasha, I was left with ideas for stories such as extra scenes I would've liked to have seen, so I just started jotting them down in my phone with no real intention of ever doing anything with them.
Then, after a couple months of being on tumblr and seeing how overwhelmingly encouraging and sweet this fandom is towards new authors/artists, I finally was like 'Fuck it, I'm just gonna go for it and try writing a fanfic of my own!'
I can never get enough of Inuyasha being a father, so I wrote Forever Changed because it was a scene I would have killed to see animated! And at the same time, I decided to start drawing so that I could illustrate the key moment for that fic.
Although I had technically never done digital art before that, I did take drawing lessons from the ages of 5 - 18, so I had a pretty extensive background with traditional mediums. Plus I went to art school, have used Photoshop from the time I was 12, and my job I've had for the last 2 and a half years is just me using Photoshop and a tablet for 40+ hours a week. So all of that made it feel really natural and easy for me to transition into digital drawing, and then I found that I love it even more than traditional drawing!
Sorry for the long reply, but thank you so much again for the question!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

How to grow your blog - For Beginners!
Tumblr media
Since I receive quite a few messages about how I grew my blog and how others could improve theirs, I decided to do this post to help you with whatever knowledge I gathered throughout my time on here.
Disclaimer: These are only my personal observations, there's no proven success if used and they may differ in other people's case.
Things I will discuss below will include;
Interactions
Masterlists / Navigations
Tags
Taglists
Simplicity
So, I guess it's time for us to begin :)
Interactions
First and foremost, interactions are the most important elements of Tumblr. These can include asks/ comments/ reblogs/ reblogs with comments and any sort of interactions with other blogs.
Asks are important because while you're having fun and chatting away with people, your name shows up on their blog and their followers might be intrigued by your user name or what you said and they check out your blog.
Comments. When you read a fic or see a beautiful edit and leave a comment on that certain post, most of the time the creator will check out your profile and other people who leave comments might find you sweet and head to your blog as well. It's nothing deep with an underlying meaning. It's simple curiosity. If what you write is kind or relatable, people feel drawn to you.
Reblogs. Reblogs are one of the most important part of Tumblr. That's the only way your art can be spread. Sure, tags are important and helpful, but reblogs are the ones that keep your art alive. When you reblog a post you're essentially sharing someone else's content with 10, 100 or 1000 people without your knowledge.
Reblogs with comments are possibly the most important and significant part of this site. You don't just share someone else's art, you also add your positive comment to it, which draws people's attention. When you reblog someone else's art, they might check out your blog and they might reblog yours. Of course, it's not a rule nor should it be expected, but from my personal experiences, I have gained loads of followers through my mutuals. Their kind words and love for my fics have drawn quite a large traffic to my blog and vice versa.
Masterlists / Navigations
Many people will tell you that tags are enough and you don't need a Masterlist. I disagree. Whilst tags are good and useful, tumblr's tags aren't reliable and on top of that people can be quite lazy. The easiest way to showcase your art - whether it be fanfiction, fanart, gifs, drawings, video edits and such - is to basically offer them to your visitors/followers on a silver platter. It can be a bother at times, always keeping it up to date, but when people have to search for your content they get discouraged because let's be honest, we like things that are easily accessible.
Masterlists can be a single Tumblr post or a Google drive document where you add the link of your creations. In my Masterlist you can find different characters, organised by different fandoms. If you use Google drive make the document readable [but not editable] for the public.
Some people, such as myself, create Navigation posts, where they add relevant sub menus which help their followers navigate easier on their blogs. These can contain where to send "asks", "rules" that the owner of the blog might set, "blog recommendations", "side blogs", "about me" menus and the like.
Tags
Although I mentioned that tags can be unreliable, they're still a necessity. Search for relevant tags and use them when you post your art. Meanwhile reblogging is the easiest way to get your creations out there, people do regularly search for tags when they wish to see something and the only way they will find you is if your post appears in tags.
If you're not sure whether your tags are working, you can always head to your dashboard, click on the 👤 in the right upper corner, go down to the posts menu and look for the post you want to check on. Once you found it, click on the tag that you would like to search for. If it shows up in the recent tab of the search results, it means the tag is working, but if after 5 minutes of posting it's still not there, you might need to reupload your work. Unfortunately Tumblr has some issues with the tags and it takes two or even three attempts at times to upload something correctly, whilst other times it might work immediately.
On a side note, if you reblog nsfw content or triggering content, you might want to tag those appropriately. Tw food, tw blood, tw. etc. Depends on the content of the triggering post.
You can also create your own tags. Such as "XY's inbox" for your asks or "XY shares" for anything that you reblog from others. This way people can block those tags and see only those posts on your blog that they might find interesting.
Taglists
Taglists aren't a necessity, especially because there are many different ways to notify your followers of new creations, but it's certainly useful. The reason I think taglists are important is because tumblr won't always show your posts on everyone's dashboard, especially if they follow loads of people. However, when you use a taglist, and mention people on your newest posts, they will be able to get a notification of your update.
Of course, if you feel like tagging people might be bothersome, you might create a side-blog where you reblog your posts and people can turn on notifications to be notified of your updates. This option has been rather popular recently, because usually we reblog and post many things on our main blogs and people don't want to get notified about every trivial post, so a side-blog with the most important posts might just be it for you.
Simplicity
This might be confusing so let me be less vague. As I said, we can be rather lazy and that doesn't mean we're bad people, we might just had a difficult day or too much to study or work and we just want easy access to content. Being simple is a necessity. Though it's good to be creative and unique, such as creating a Masterlist that's called "Where the stars shine", it's not obvious for many what is hidden behind those words and they might not be curious enough to check it out. By being simple and obvious, as I said before, you're offering your content on a silver platter. Simple and neat. Sometimes people just need things to be easy to find.
I have been told many times before that my blog is very organised and I feel very proud about that because it means people can find things easily. Of course, it's not proven, but I think that could be a factor in growing your blog. But as I've said, these are only my personal observations.
I hope this helps. Have a nice day :) Heloise Daphne Brightmore

Want to be featured here? Head to this page and fill in the form!
See what this is about here, or if you’re using the app here.
What’s your fannish ID? I'm AnnaHawk on AO3 and Anna-Hawk on tumblr. Anna is a name that I've always liked and thought of using if I have a daughter one day. Hawk is the English translation to a part of my actual last name. Now, I have 2 daughters, but I went with different names because Anna has become a part of me after having that handle for several years. 
What types of fanworks do you create? I write fics. I've always been an avid reader. Since I started learning how to read, you would always find me sitting somewhere with a book. I love to be able to immerse myself fully in a story. When I discovered fanfiction, I knew that I'd found my special universe because it gave me the possibility to stay and discover new stories in the fandoms that I loved. It never mattered if it was canon or not. Just the fact to have a sort of continuation in that world was amazing. Some fanfic authors have moved me more than any published authors have been able to. It took me nearly a decade of reading fics to finally sit down and write one myself. I had a lot of ideas (the number of plot ideas that I've garnered of the years and have been sitting in a folder is huge), but I didn't have a writing process. I would sometimes sit down, start writing, and when I stopped, I wouldn't be able to continue. As for branching out, I don't have any talent for any other craft.  
What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you’re not creating? Definitely fics. It's how it all started. Ever since I started writing more, my time for reading has lessened a lot. But if I need a break, I'll go to a different fandom than the one I'm writing in and vanish in a fic. Fanart would be the second one. I've discovered so many absolutely wonderful artists over the years. Some drawings can get me just as hard as thousands and thousands of words. 
What do you like in particular about this fandom? The short answer would be Frank Castle, hahaha. When I saw Frank Castle on Netflix, it was love at first sight and after more than a year, I finally sat down to write down one of my favorite fantasies. It took me forever to write those 4K but after that it was like a revelation and I couldn't stop writing anymore."That's how it happened for me, anyway. I could never seem to write anything or at least, finish it. And then Jon came along as Frank and wham, I just did it. The longer one would be this: the MCU is pretty much the only reference I have for this fandom. I must have read maybe one comic, but that's it. When Daredevil came out, I was very curious because I enjoy this genre (superheros. People with powers. Fantasy. You name it.) Netflix really did an amazing job with this show, pushing the rating up. Very satisfying to watch, and the cast was amazing. And then Daredevil S2 happened. Frank Castle was an immediate crush. Frank is the one who got me into writing. My favorite ship is by far Fratt. I just love the dynamics between Frank and Matt. I've only written two fics for them, but I want to write more. 
Do you like participating in fan events? Both? I think that fan events are amazing. Bringing people with the same love for a fandom together is wonderful in my opinion. But at the same time, I can stress easily about it and put some pressure on myself because I'm not sure if I can deliver. In time. Writing for @frattweek was easier because I had the choice to go for anything I wanted. A gift exchange is more complicated because OMG, what if the giftee hates what I wrote for them? Those are my thoughts right now since I entered my first DDE, hahaha. 
What about your creating process? I can write during any time of the day, but I'm usually more active at night. And my life being what it is now, I don't have much choice BUT to write in the evenings. Music has definitely helped me write. At times, when the house was just too loud or simply because the melody would be in synch with what I was writing at the time. It's not a necessity, though. What I need, is my peace, especially when I'm stuck. I write in chronological order. I will write down ideas for future scenes, but I will always finish the previous one before completing the next one. I've tried writing whole scenes that happen later, but in the end, they wouldn't really fit because I would have made some major changes in the story along the way, and they would just feel off. 
Do you interact a lot with other fans? Before I started writing myself, I would very rarely leave a comment on a fic. Even if I liked it. The fic would have had to really move me to get me to comment. It wasn't until I started writing myself that I realized how important comments/feedback can be. I know that not everyone wants or need comments and I know that they aren't mandatory, but to me, it was suddenly clear that I needed to let people know that I enjoyed their writing/art. It's after I started doing this, that I met some wonderful people. I spent over a decade reading fanfics without ever really interacting with anyone. Such a shame because now I've found a wonderful fandom and amazing and talented people. There's a true feeling of "belonging" that I've never felt before. Find me as anna hawke#2609 on Discord!
Do you have other fandoms you'd like to talk about? Oh, there are a TON of fandoms that I enjoy. The list is never ending. I have several ships in the MCU but the other fandoms I enjoy are different from this one. My first fandom was the Harry Potter one. It's the fandom I've been in the longest, but I've fallen a bit out of love with it. Some parts of it are just plain nasty and I don't want to deal with that. Then there's the Teen Wolf fandom. I was already 30 when I started that ridiculous show, but I stayed for my OTP. The only time, where I knew about the ship before watching the show. I didn't expect to fall for it the way that I did, though. A more recent love but no less fervent is the Detroit Become Human one. The only video game that made me go look up fics and give me the desire to write for it. I really don't think that the fandoms or the ships have anything in common with DD, Punisher etc. I can't really say what will get me into a fandom. Sometimes I just see two guys and go: Oooooh! XD Because I need a ship to get into a fandom. 
Is there any particular piece you'd like to showcase for this post? Why not mention that first ever fratt fic? I'm really happy with how it turned out. https://archiveofourown.org/works/24556855 Nice Suit . Always time for Coffee, is my reader fic series. It started as a fun way to get a fantasy out of my brain and transformed into something huge with feelings and angst and... well... a lot of smut XD. It's been ongoing for over 2 years now and it sort of shows my, let's say, growth as a writer who's first language isn't English. https://archiveofourown.org/series/1366675
Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I ramble, I rant. Don't get me started LOL. 
Where can your fanworks be found?  https://archiveofourown.org/users/AnnaHawk/works
Thank you, @anna-hawk !

Thunderfam Appreciation Post
I’m giving this a new post to prevent scroll city, but the original and several reblogs can be found by clicking the above link. Also, it’s an excuse to post a piccy of Virg cos any excuse, really :D
Many thanks to @willow-salix for writing this question list :D
Before I start, I just want to say that I value every member of this fandom. I’m often hopeless at communicating in group settings so I don’t speak to many peeps, but that is my failing, not anyone else’s. You are an amazing group and you have supported me and each other just brilliantly over the last nearly three years that I have been hanging with you guys. Thank you ever so much for all your wonderful support and encouragement. I’ve had so much fun and created so much stuff…you guys are amazing. Thunderfam rock!
Please note that my memory is pathetic and I will fail to mention everyone. Please do not take any offence if you aren’t listed below. That does not mean I don’t value you, I do, it just means I have swiss cheese between my ears.
-o-o-o-
Your favourite writer of your favourite boy.
@i-am-chidorixblossom  You are a whumper and comforter after my soul. You speak the Virg :D @vegetacide I adore your turn of phrase and your description is to die for.
The person who's stories you will always read.
I try to read most fics that come across my dash, but there are a few that have me jumping up and down. @i-am-chidorixblossom , @vegetacide , @tsarinatorment , @scribbles97 , @the-lady-razorsharp , @janetm74 Of course, I regularly fail at this as some of you write a huge amount of fic and I am often playing catch up, but fic!
Who wrote the first fic you read in this fandom.
I landed on FF.net back in May 2018. I immediately ran into @the-lady-razorsharp who I knew from another fandom ten years prior and she was absolutely wonderful, drawing me in and introducing me around. I gobbled up several of her fics in the process.
Person you can talk to for the longest without a break.
I am hard to get started, persistence is required, but once started, it is usually hard to shut me up. @scribbles97 @vegetacide and @tsarinatorment have all discovered that. Dangle a Virg, a plotline and stand back.
Person you can't be trusted to be left alone with.
Um, @vegetacide and I have plotted out the entirety of Warm Rain together…poor Virg. Add @the-lady-razorsharp into the equation and Virgil ends up with a beard, dressed in leather and riding a Harley – that was a hilarious evening.  Between @tsarinatorment and @janetm74 Virgil gets grey hairs and has to go rescue Scott – because Scott inevitably ends up in the story :D  @scribbles97 gets the blame for Gentle Rain – expand your horizons she said ::headdesk:: But then there was the time I left one random line about Eos visiting Virgil in the shower and went to bed. I woke up to hilarity and chaos as Thunderfam took the idea and ran with it! Love you guys :D
Person whose fic made you cry the most.
I know there were at least two fics that made me cry, but for the life of me I can’t identify them. I did cry writing my own fic – Flannel – and don’t tend to reread it for that reason. Purupuss traumatised me with A Quiet Day to the point I had to put it down and walk away for a bit ::wails::
Person whose fic made you laugh the most.
I have no idea. I know there are fic out there and I know I’ve read it, but without a complete list of everything I’ve read, I don’t have a clue.
Person whose fic made you think the most.
Aaaargh, I don’t have a master list so can’t remember everything. Staring at my paltry favourites list on FF.net (which was mostly gathered three years ago and never maintained), Purupuss’ ‘Brothers in Arms’ and her whole Quiet series has me wanting to write a Scott-Virgil telepathic fic (and she has given me permission to run with the idea, I just haven’t actioned it yet). Counterpoint by Swallow and Amazon is amazing and likely contributed to Sotto Voce.
Person you have laughed with the most.
I’m really not liking this ultimate one person idea. I’ve laughed with a lot of people in this fandom. I’ve candy cannoned a bunch of you as well :P There has been mad plot cackling, evil conspiring, fic written to stir pots and delight on purpose. Hell, I’ve even written fic that was purposefully a giant virtual hug because I’m so far away that even if half the world wasn’t in isolation, I couldn’t hug most of you. Sure, I talk with some of you more than others, and there is laughter in those chats…oh, god, so much cackling, poor, poor Tracy boys. But then there are also so many smiles both vocalised and not. Thunderfam is one of my happy places. Bring on the belly laughs :D
Your comfort fic that you'll go back and read again on a bad day.
I will often resort to my own fic when I’m really down simply because it helps me get to sleep :D and it is kinda tailored to me ::grins::  (and my memory is that bad I often forget what I wrote anyway – yes, it is that bad) But there are also a few on my FF.net favourites list. Mostly hurt/comfort in a Virg flavour. Cheesycheese, nhsweetcherry, A Small Rescue by Nalina, Breathe Easy and Under the Weather by @loopstagirl – several of hers, in fact – the Virg ones :D Pretty much anything that has Virg fainting and being looked after apparently :D Chiddi and Veggie fic, of course.
Favourite piece of fan art.
I have never been so honoured by artists before. This fandom has some amazing skills and I have been gifted some beautiful works. You guys are amazing (I keep saying it like a broken record, but you are).
Again, I’m stuck on having to list one and I can’t. I think Fanart Appreciation Month in January pretty much summed up my opinion.
Who have you known the longest in the fandom.
@the-lady-razorsharp followed by @vegetacide both wonderful peeps. I can’t miss out on @weirdburketeer either for her amazing support almost from day one.
Favourite OC.
I have to say that I really enjoy reading about Ray from @i-am-chidorixblossom ‘s fics :D He is so gentle and kind and just ::sigh:: Virg likes him lots :D Selene by @willow-salix is, of course, a major presence in the fandom and amazingly written. @hedwigstalons ‘ Claire is lovely.
Person who supports your work the most.
The Thunderfam? There have been some wonderful people who support all the time. @hedwigstalons  @cg29 @janetm74 @weirdburketeer in particular have been amazing support liking and commenting on just about everything I write. I honestly don’t know how they do it. Plus several peeps over on FF.net and Ao3 who support me over there.
And then there are the poor souls who put up with me in chat and listen to my wibblies and whining and character checks and field random chunks of writing that get thrown their way. @scribbles97 @vegetacide @the-lady-razorsharp  @tsarinatorment @i-am-chidorixblossom @onereyofstarlight @godsliltippy  @willow-salix @janetm74 all have had random passages thrown at them at all times of the day and night by a crazy me begging for feedback. Does this work? Is this in character? Am I insane? What the hell is Scott doing? Is this John??? I give up, tell me what to do? Virgil is driving me insane! So, um, yeah
Person who's progress you are the most proud of.
I love those peeps who appear in fandom who start off poking around commenting and generally being lovely and then all of a sudden get out their own pens and start writing and they are frickin’ amazing! Both @janetm74 and @hedwigstalons come to mind in this department. Like holy cow – ‘here is my first fic and I’m not sure’ ::reads it:: Omigod! Where did you come from? That was amazing. Sit down here now, keep doing that writing thing, bloody hell! I think being brave enough to pick up a pen and join in is a major thing :D
Person who's story you think is underrated and should be read by more people.
If I find fic I like, I reblog it and shout about it. What I like is definitely skewed in a Virgil direction and this dictates often what I’m going to read first. I can’t reblog what I haven’t read. So, this equation will always be skewed by ‘reasons I haven’t read a fic’ which mostly involves either Virgil or the fact I’m juggling RL. So, my answer to this is if I think a fic needs to be shouted about, I shout about it.
Something you think people would say about you.
She’s nutty.
Silliest 'thing' you do with someone.
I’ve been known to write fic on the fly directly into chat windows to try and distract peeps going through shitty times.
Favourite pairing you now Stan because of someone's fic.
Virgil/Kayo because of @vegetacide for reasons I have blamed her for multiple times. @the-lady-razorsharp and @weirdburketeer were accessories to the fact.
Favourite headcanon from someone's fic.
Um, Virgil and coffee? I got that from somewhere and it has infiltrated my fic…a lot.
Ultimately, though, I feel most people I interact with contribute to my fic and how I’m feeling. This has been a wonderful experience. I try to return the support as much as I can, but sometimes it is a juggle between writing more, my stupid fluctuating mood, the demands of RL and my own creative drive. I hope I’ve helped a few peeps, because you guys have certainly helped me ::major group hug::
And yes, I hug a lot, because to be honest, I have no other descriptor to communicate how I feel, so you get buckets of hugs :D
Tagging the Thunderfam. Feel free to grab these questions and run with them. You’re all part of the gang whether you write, read, art, gif, screenshot, chat, babble, stare at Virgil all day...I know I do a lot of staring.
Nutty
(Thunderfam rocks!)
