#hmu if you read this I'd love to know lol

[ursiday]

i know youve been away from the warriors scene for a bit, but are you still reading or making designs for other xenofiction books? i loved seeing those on your other blog, if u have any recs as well in the xenofiction genre… 👀.

regardless, love ur art so much. hoping to save enough money by the end of this month to finally get some prints of urs from mushroomy 🤞

Yes I would like to keep doing those! I got about halfway through both The Wild Road and The Plague Dogs last year and I was enjoying them both a lot but I don't have so much time to read these days so I fell off the wagon a bit 🥲 I also got kinda burnt out on xenofiction lol I've been more into psychological horror stuff (if anyone has recs in this genre hmu... I want more weird esoteric fiction) and I've been listening to some classic horror lit on audiobook recently. I will get back to the animal books eventually though I swearrr

One xenofiction book I read a while back that I'd recommend is Fox 8 by George Saunders, it's quite short and pretty simple in premise but I liked it a lot and the illustrations are very cute. Also thank you very much 🫶🫶

[strange-destinations]

hi!! you seem really cool, and I’m desperately in need of people to talk to about the virgin new adventures, so I wondered if you were interested. My name’s Rachel, I’ve recently finished reading them all for the first time, and have just watched your Lungbarrow video (after initially discovering its existence when I was several books earlier in the series, and someone posted your Griffin McElroy song in a Dropout fan discord, and you showed an image of a version of the Doctor that immediately made me realize you had some wilderness years who knowledge and prompted me to look at your channel further). anyway I don’t have a ton of understanding about or history on tumblr but this seemed to be the place I could potentially reach you so I just wanted to say this and see what happens! thanks for reading this in any case lol

hi! i'm delighted whenever someone figures out i'm into esoteric doctor who via the griffin mcelroy video. one day i'll post another dw video essay thing, i have some on the backburner already. normally i'd say 'i'd love to chat, hmu', but honestly these days i have a lot of people to talk to and i'm feeling fairly burned out from everything i've took on (my most recent video wasn't entirely fiction), so I have to gently decline any chatting. i can direct you to a doctor who discord server i'm in where people often chat about wilderness years and (improbably) even more obscure doctor who stuff, though! let me know if you want the link. there are definitely many many people willing to talk about it

[cowboylikeyouu]

As the resident Clint Barton Expert On My DashTM, do you know where to start with his comics? I haven't read anything of him yet and I'd like to start with his backstory/origin story/whatever you wanna call it, but I'm pretty sure there were like ? reboots??? So some comics aren't canon??? Comics are confusing pls help orz If you have any must reads i'd also love to read those!

it may seem like i've read a ton of hawkeye comics, but i'm really the last person to ask for comic advice😭 i'v read the fraction/aja hawkeye run from 2012-2015 a few years ago bc it's basically everyone's favorite version of clint and so much of the comic clint stuff you see online is somewhat fraction-related lol (it's really good, highly recommend). i've only really started my comic journey a few months ago - with the financially irresponsible decision to treat myself to a marvel unlimited subscription lmao - and now i'm kinda reading whatever i want to without really caring about a logical order😭 it's all so overwhelming and confusing to me as well, and there's so many stuff i want to read but also so many stuff i don't give a fuck about lmaoo i don't really know where to start either, so don't take and of this as advie xD i've read clint's very first comic appearances (tales of suspense #57) and then i read a LOT of avengers (1963) issues, before i decided that i really didn't want to read hundreds of old ass issues before getting to enjoy the awesomeness of modern hawkeye, so i just stopped and read freefall and the tales of suspense run with bucky bc i'm a winterhawk girly and i needed some canon interactions, you can't blame me. i read the newer west coast avengers run (probably not the smartest movie, but i felt like i understood most of it) bc i really really really love kate and clint as a team, and then i read all-new hawkeye vol. 1 yesterday bc i wanted more clint and kate lol. so far i can recommend all of it, but if you want like a real origin story of clint, maybe you should start with the older ones ahahah pretty sure there's a ton of reading guides online somewhere, i just decided to be dumb and just read random stuff i find interesting xD

that being said, if anyone reading this has some recs for series i should definitely read (hawkeye or not, doesn't matter) that you don't need a ton of other knowledge for, feel free to hmu!!!

SHIPPING INFO | answer the following for your muses so people know how shipping works on your blog

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

i don't have one per se but i always lead this type of conversation mentioning that akari is an eldest daughter, so her type of person that would make for a great otp is someone who ... she doesn't have to manage, essentially. who is equally responsible as she is and will understand that her job is demanding hence why she's mentally exhausted 24/7. someone she can turn her brain off around because she knows nothing bad will happen if they take the wheel for a while. someone who still loves her after a day spent in her childhood home, too

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

current timeline wise i've placed akari to have turned 27 a few months after shibuya. i do think she would date older people but wouldn't go past laste 30s / early 40s. she wouldn't date any younger than early 20s though, but that's just common sense

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFT?

i guess that goes along with the bases system? anything past kissing perhaps

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

yeah, i'd rather ship with chemistry though i'm always willing to give ships a try even through plotting. i prefer shipping with people who i have written at least once either ic or ooc

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

at the moment all the ships i have are pretty recent, i don't think i have a favourite though and i know it sounds cliché but they're all so different that equally give me something interesting and precious to work with !!

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

i think it depends. sending shippy asks is okay but acting like we're already shipping beforehand without even talking about it once ... i will feel weird about it, ngl

ARE YOU SHIP-OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

wouldn't say i'm ship obsessed but i won't lie i do love writing romance 😂 slow burns are my jam, anything yearning i will love it

what is your favourite ship in your current fandom?

i don't have any particular preference, though the more i lurk around fandom spaces the more i've noticed that people tend to pair her either with ijichi ( the managers solidarity lol ), ino ( because they both seem huge yappers which i agree on 😂 ) and in some rarer instances nanami ( though i see a lot of people counter that she's his daughter figure, for whatever reason lmao ). i know some people ship her with nobara, but honestly i find it kinda weird since akari's a whole adult

not akari related ships though, i would say satoru x suguru, shoko x utahime, higuruma x kusakabe, toji x mama fushiguro, yuki x choso ... i don't really go there but i think some of the ships between kids are cute too, ngl

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

hmu in ims! chances are i will be on board with it and also make us a pinterest board lol ( there's proof, look at my pinned 😂 )

tagged by: @chikoyama thank you!

tagging: YOU! ( and make sure to tag me so i can read )

╰┈➤ AGE: 18

╰┈➤ DRs: Own K-POP group, Pokémon trainer, Hogwarts

╰┈➤ BLOG iNFO: This is not my main blog! I follow/follow back back from @moonlight-melts.

I made this blog mostly to rb affirmations and share scenarios about my DRs. I will link here detailed posts about my DRs once I make them lol!

╰┈➤ LiNKS: Just my Pinterest (link is safe, pinky promise) !

╰┈➤ SHiFTiNG JOURNEY: Complicated, but while I'm new to shiftblr I'm definitely not new to shifting! More info below the cut.

I first learned about shifting in early 2019. I tried and tried and tried over and over for two years before giving up entirely because I had no tangible results and was growing incredibly frustrated. On top of that, I was in a very toxic environnement with people constantly laughing about shifting, how it wasn't real, was ridiculous, etc, which made me feel dumb and have looooots of doubts. So I just gave up, and kinda just forgot about it.

And I then accidentally stumbled upon shiftblr, not knowing it existed, and it just seems like such a lovely community I'd love to interact with, and I think I'm starting to believe in spirituality again.

I still have a lot of doubts and am really insecure on top of having forgotten many things about shifting (including a lot of the vocab), so I need to re-learn a lot of things on my own. Any help is appreciated!

That being said, I'm really looking for friends to talk about shifting/my dr to, so if I seem cool to you, just hmu!! I'm friendly :)

Thanks for reading this far!! I hope we can get along well.

[eightmakesonebraincell]

Hey! I’m sending this because I’ve just read your “rating bff!ateez as kinks” and “ateez as mafia members” and I’m already OBSESSED. Your blog seems to be my new favourite one. I love your writing style so much and I’d also be really happy if we could be friends. You seem really cool and as I said, I absolutely love your style. If online friendships are not your thing, that’s okay and I’m gonna keep following your blog and supporting you and your works. Btw I’m also a writer so I’d be happy to collab with you some time, I think it would be fantastic honestly. Besides, I believe we could be sharing a quarter of a braincell without knowing, so that’s a plus. I wish you a great day/night! 💖

s t O p ?? your new fave blog i- 🥹🫶 thank you so much dskjfasdg 'mafia' and 'kinks' are defs some of my favourite works so my brain is just going BRRR rn let me just-

i've actually got a few long fics in the works for the next couple of months alr so i'm not sure i'll have time to collab 🤡🤡 but i'll think about it and see what i can do hOHoHO

in the meantime though i'm defs up for chatting :D my dms and ask box are always open so hmu anytime 😌☝️ i'd be happy to find out if we really do share a quarter of a braincell (tho i must say i share half my braincell with someone else already LOL)

[lokiinmediasideblog]

Another way I'd write my twist on myth!Logyn would have them be dysfunctional, not because he's abusive or callous, but because they're fundamentally different people. They married out of convenience to assure jotun-aesir alliance and she was young and wide eyed and idealistic expecting a prince charming in him, but got a man who's always sleeping around and almost never settles home and it frustrates her and her expectations frustrate him and they argue every once in a while. But then, tragedy strikes: their sons are killed, Loki's tied on the cave, and it's finally there, together just the two of them with no other company, that they finally get to know each other and see eye to eye for the first time and develop a newfound sense of respect and companionship. Logyn shippers like to imagine they had a fairy tale marriage abruptly made tragic by Loki's predicament, but I love the IRONY of the cave being the thing that brings them together.

That's great! Tragedy bringing them together, and the dysfunctionality seems very plausible in a way that doesn't turn Sigyn into a waif with no agency or Jokerify Loki (I like how that's a term for me now "the Jokerification of Loki", lol). If you write it, hmu.

So there was this book I read (I shipped Logyn on the first half until they Jokerified Loki D": ) where they bond over Sleipnir (Sigyn sees Loki is a good parent) and were forced to marry to keep Loki from Sif, as him and Sif were a bit too close. I really enjoyed it while it lasted but Loki turned very abusive halfway through the book because "madness".

Fic Tag Game

I was tagged by @beri-allen. Thanks!

How many works do you have on Ao3? 14

What's your Ao3 word count? 51 699

What fandoms do you write for? Currently only Wednesday, but I used to be really active in the Harry Potter fandom in middle/high school.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1. Biology Lessons 2. I Dig You (Up) 3. Read the Fine Print 4. Payback Is a Bitch 5. Window Shopping

Do you respond to comments? I did for a bit but I honestly don't know what to say other than "alkjsjdf thank ily" and I feel super awkward. I love you all and your comments make my days brighter <3.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Why would you ask me, a porn writer, this... I Dig You (Up), 100%.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I'm a porn writer, they all have ✨ happy endings ✨. I'd say Biology Lessons.

Do you get hate on fics? No hate so far, just one very very horny man who described what he did (in detail) while reading the fic. I deleted that comment after vomiting in my mouth a bit.

Do you write smut? What kind? Yes. And yes.

Do you write cross-overs? I've never been interested in crossovers. And I usually only fixate on one thing at a time.

Have you ever had a fic translated? No. Let me call my waifu real quick to see if she's interested in some translation work lol (we're both professional writers/translators)

Have you ever cowritten a fic before? No. Hmu tho 👀 

What WIP you would like to finish, but doubt you ever will? I'll finish all of them... eventually. I will!

What's your all-time favorite ship? Let's go back to my roots: Wolfstar (Sirius Black x Remus Lupin) from Harry Potter. I've been in love with Remus since I was 9 and I love angsty relationships. I've had a thousand OTPs in my life, but they're my forever one.

What are your writing strengths? I will literally write 10k in one go.

What are your writing weaknesses? If I don't want to write, I will not write. I've literally stared at blank pages for months. But it's a cycle, I know I'll be back on my bullshit in no time.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Depends.

First fandom you wrote for? Harry Potter, closely followed by The Mortal Instruments.

Favorite fic you've ever written? I'm so so happy with Stuck in the Middle with You. It was a literal 6k word vomit that came out fabulous. I have to say that Heaven's a Place on Earth with You (a short Attack on Titan thing I wrote like 10 years ago) has a special place in my heart.

What fic would you want to rewrite one day? Frankly, all of them. I'm impatient and publish first drafts and I think they deserve some reworking. They're fine for now but if I ever want these to become a portfolio, they'll need some serious editing. This might be the right time to confess that all my fics are written by a possessed author, reread for typos once then published as they are. Y'all are tapping directly into my brain here.

I've been out of order for so long idk what's been going on/who's done this already. I tag @suchaladyy, @nonamemanga, @cupoteahatter, and @wincestation

[calronhunt]

Do you have any more to share about how the new magic system works in your new Raphael story!! The idea that magic reflects the user symbolically is really interesting and i'd love to hear more about that.. (I coincidentally read a book recently-ish where characters had superpowers that were a reflection of the user and i've been so into that concept lately as a result LOL.. symbolism tastey)

YEAH!!! (also hmu with what that book is called cause I love this kinda shit so much)

I don't usually write magic systems because im worried about getting bogged down in the details and mechanics so I'm going super general and what I find fun. Everyone's magic is different, and it can change and warp as someone lives. I think thta as children everyone's magic manifests in the same way (not sure how quite sure how just yet) and as they come into their own person it gets personalized to that specific person. Raphael's emerged as small blue flames because he felt small but had a lot of energy and fire inside him. It warped and changed from trauma to reflect on his body as that's where most of his trauma concentrated. His ability to still summon the small flames if he tries really hard is due to him still having that spirit deep down.

The other thing that I wanna explore is that corrupted magic isn't like, inherently harmful. Its just the same as when magic initially changes, its just a reflection of what the user has gone through in life and who that person is. I know that sounds like im calling Raphael a monster because of his beast design, but it only looks like that because that's what Raphael sees himself as. Raphael isn't able to control his corrupted magic because he supresses it and refuses to understand it. It's a monster to be locked away and not thought about. He doesn't want to accept that that's him.

And just because I'm not sure when I'm going to talk about it, Lionel's magic as a kid used to manifest as small yellow flowers sprouting out of his hands. To again symbolize how small he felt and how fragile he was. I would need to really draw what his magic manifested after full corruption though. Both of these he's locked out of due to the churchs repression spell however

[monstrouslyobsessed]

if my body can just...chill, that'd be great. gonna try and publish two pieces by tomorrow. here's hoping i can do it!

Ooh! Regarding the Jaguar tribe, I pick the AFAB one, please! —anonymous

ah alright, i can probably do that one first, maybe. just trying to be considerate to everyone possible!

What age you became (or started) to became a Monsterfucker?and what triggred it for you?;for me it was when i was like 7-10 because of Ben 10 LMFAO.

I had a crush on XLR8,Ripjaws (i love me some shape of water looking monster),Heatblast and Big Chill (my fav Mothman),i also loved Upgrade but when they introducted Malware it was breaking point for me,like you are bringing this EVIL AND WELL WRITTEN VILLAIN VERSION OF UPGRADE AND EXPECT ME NOT TO SIMP???

Sorry if this was asked before and thank you! —anonymous

you're the first one who asked!!

but uhhhh, shoot, i think i was probablyyyyyy 6 or 7 with goliath from gargoyles from early 90s??? maybe??? not too positive tbh, it had been a very long time for me. i remembered having a bit of a crush on demona too…i think her name was? the kid me was shocked to see that yes, you can pair a human up with an inhuman character, but i didn't exactly fall in the monsterfucker genre too deep until probably the mid2010s. that genre just wasn't popular before then and the internet was sorta…pretty vanilla then too, at least in my usual internet hang-outs.

oh man, ben 10. i barely remembered half the shits about that show lol watched the kid era from the beginning to the end and missed out a few on the teen era (i missed gwen's sass ngl), but i definitely lost all interest when its creator passed and the jerkwads at cartoon network or whatever company it was rebooted it from scratch and completely disrespected the creator's wishes??? like why lmao and the new style was hideous, so i p much dropped out from ben10 since and don't keep up with it at all.

Mars attacks??? Would you write for it????? —anonymous

er one by tim burton?? unless there are other ones i wasn't aware about (the title is super common with the older media iirc), i'd have to say no. the appearance of those aliens from that movie is not…something i'd be into. sorry!

that said, i certainly did write several alien pieces, including the classic martian aliens in ufo one if you're interested! the latter was very nondescript so you're welcome to imagine whatever alien appearance you'd prefer :)

i envy how you're able to create such a specific and fascinating story —anonymous

daw thank you! <3 my writing def ain't perfect and i know im slow as heck, but it makes me happy that i have kind readers like you reading my pieces <3

i like you —anonymous

i like you too nonnie!

okay thats all the nonstory related asks i have atm. if there's a question i haven't answered, chances are, the hellsite might've eaten it :( if that's the case for you, then feel free to send in another one!

that said, ive been looking around for ask memes for my oc's like that classic nsfw abc's one to interact with yall and do something fun with my characters, but haven't a lot of luck finding any i liked. if you have any rec, hmu!

otherwise, <3 yall be good to one other and take care!

Dead Space (anyone that lets me rattle on for 100 years about space horror probably knows why and this is one of them lol)

Street Fighter 6 (I literally do not have enough money to find a copy and the game is sold out everywhere I look but someday I’ll get to play it instead of watching Daigo and Higuchi clips auughhh)

Hiya! Thanks for responding to my DDDNE poll! You’re not the first person to flag that “so don’t complain” reads as snarky or derogatory or rude, but (fascinatingly) this comment has only been present over the last couple of days of reblogs, which I find super interesting! (I was hella constrained by the character limit on this option, obvs.) I have a couple follow up questions for you, if you are willing to answer: what fandom(s) do you tend to encounter DDDNE in? How long have you been involved in internet-based fandom spaces? Also if you have any more thoughts on the poll structure or the nature of DDDNE as a tag, I would love to hear them! Have a great day!

Oh, hello! I appreciate your receptiveness to feedback, even if being contacted has caught me completely off guard LOL

Yeah, character limits are a pain, but that is pretty interesting that people have only said anything about that after a certain amount of time. I wonder if that's because it reached a certain circle of fandom? Which probably explains your next couple questions actually :V

Honestly I'm not sure how much info you can get from me because it's been quite awhile since I've gone looking for fics. I can get pretty picky about the writing I want to read and give up scrolling through AO3 pages pretty quickly 😅

I've been in and out of various fandom spaces since I was like. In middle school. And I don't want to do the math but I graduated high school in 2007 so that gives you a rough idea. Interestingly enough, DDDNE wasn't really much of a thing; I honestly didn't really encounter it as a use for a tagging system until after I joined tumblr in around 2015-16 (because Undertale). Though largely I've been more involved in the role play side of things instead of the fanfic/fanart, so there's not a whole lot of tagging done to begin with. Last time I was big into the fic/art was.. I don't remember the years but whenever tf2chan was seeing some of its higher activity. Early 2010s, maybe? The stuff I was Huge into before that predates Arrested Development, with only a little bit of overlap. Oh there's also MLP:FiM but I read most of that on their own websites, not AO3. Different categorization systems.

You know, now that I'm sitting down and really trying to remember, I feel like I've encountered DDDNE as more of a descriptor than as use as a tag itself. That might be coloring my thoughts on it. I've read plenty of fics that sure fit DDDNE criteria, but weren't tagged with the phrase. A couple I can remember would be from Team Fortress 2, Undertale, My Little Pony, and Jak and Daxter. Like I'd call the Cupcakes MLP fic DDDNE but I don't think it was ever tagged as such.

hmu if you'd like to know anything else! And you have a good day, too!

got tagged by bestie @wunderlichkind to answer these, thanks a bunch 😘

nickname: had to endure some pretty embarressing ones while growing up, the one that stuck is tit (yes, you read correctly, my sister is the one to blame)

sign: leo

height: 163cm

last thing i googled: the opening hours of the drugstore close to where i live

song stuck in my head: 'Wyss' by Les Touristes

no. of followers: 39 lol

amount of sleep: i love a good 9 hours but recently i've only been getting around 4 or 5 decent ones a night thanks to overthinking so one might guess how thin my skin is rn 🥴

lucky number: none but i'll keep the 1425 in my brain for every new day to come

dream job: although i know i'll probably never switch to a whole new one because i just love selling books so much, i'd like to try something in the sports branch, retail or help organising a competition for instance...who knows where i'll end up 🤷🏽‍♂️

wearing: jeans, a shirt i got from the mens section, an oversized zip-up hoodie and outworn sneakers

movies/books that summarize me: no clue at all tbh

favourite instrument: biased by the fact that i (used to) play both i'll have to say acoustic guitar and ukulele. i also love the sound of violins/string instruments in general tho

aesthetic: not really an aesthetic but something along the lines of too much/not enough caffein and working at ungodly hours

favourite author: oh boy, way too many...but Benedict Wells and Ferdinand von Schirach will always stay on top of that list

favourite animal noise: not exactly generated by the animal but i love hearing cow bells from far away while hiking in the mountains 🤗🐮

random: i feel like very little people know this about me so why not share it on the internet? 😂 public transport, especially the local train line that runs in a circle around the part of eastern Switzerland where i live, has a calming effect on me, just like walking through busy streets/stations/airports and all those sorts. I have .0 clue where the reason in that lays so if anyone knows an explination to that, hmu cause i'd like to know 😂

once again tagging fellow bestie @aprilkindkunst (no pressure tho) and anyone who feels like joining in! 🎉✌🏽

Where I've been after I left the QuartzCraft Minecraft Server

I originally joined the QuartzCraft (QC) Minecraft server under the claims of "multi-" or "all-inclusive" inclusivity. Claims of which, as a neurodivergent queer African American woman of color, felt like a tall order, yet was worth a shot checking out.  To my happy surprise, the rules and community guidelines seemed pretty legit in terms of feeling appropriately inclusive in my opinion, (outside of a few suspicious rules.) The server also felt like its server admins and staff genuinely cared about the rules, server, and community.  Being in the server was better than I could have anticipated. I had the opportunity to meet a genuinely wonderful community of all sorts of neat people! I even made friends and had fun and got to play along with them, and I could relate to the folks too (I was still the demographic minority, yet that's the internet, unfortunately.)  I just want members of the QC community, Mod, and interns to know that my leaving had nothing to do with them. If you want to know details, I don’t mind explaining in DM (I mean. tbh DMs can make me anxious too X3, but Tumblr works well!! or hmu in a twitch stream ^ ^), Yet, I would prefer to not write about it here. If you want to know some background, I’m linking some relevant videos below. The important thing is that I treasure all of you and the time we spent together.  If you’d like to play together or just chat sometime, please feel free to reach out or come by my twitch stream! I’d love to hear from any of you or see you in the chat (I’m just kinda shy lol)  Thank you for reading, and hope to hear from you <3 

TLDR: I still love the QC community, and while I'm not part of the server, I'd love to be friends.
