average brit stevenson and mallick scott fan: Hey I stayed up making this instead of writing my thesis paper for grad school. Here’s a 30,000 word document about the implications of Brit’s promotion within the Marshford group and how it would lead to her eventual demise and also how she rose to the top in her group. It also delves into her relationship with Mallick, whose existence, I believe, is an obvious literary reference to an ancient Roman play read by only me and three other people currently alive. I translated relevant passages and included them in my work. I got understimulated around page 8 so I did take a break to pierce myself in the same spot that I believe Mallick would have a piercing. If you read my fics on AO3 you will already be familiar with the location.

[poppitron360]

tbh i find you annoying but thats just my opinion. you're allowed to do whatever the fuck you want. good for you. my own opinion - based on petty standards and prejudice and a bit of jealousy - is not a reflection of reality and should not affect you. keep having fun.

also please don't block me because you're posting about something i like and it's not very well known and i just needed to get this out because id explode

… Okay?

This ask is fascinating to me and I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. Imma disect your comment like a lil bug real quick, if that’s okay with you?

If it doesn’t affect me why did you tell me? Like what was the purpose of telling me that you find me annoying? What validation does that give you?

Like you took all that time and effort to 1) seek out my blog 2) read enough of my posts to come up with a REALLY REALLY GOOD BURN LIKE WOW THAT IS SO CLEVER 3) Click on the ask button 4) write this comment 5) CHANGE THE FREAKING FONT- Like you went through the whole process of highlighting that line of text, clicking the “minimise” AND the “strikethrough” buttons and THEN 6) pressing send and you didn’t stop to think ONCE “hey… why the hell am I doing this?”

It always baffles me when people tell me these things like they think I’m not already painfully aware of it. Like I know that I’m annoying to some people THAT’S WHY I’M HERE!!! I have found the one community of people that find what I’m saying interesting!

I’m not posting for YOU I’m posting for THEM. You think I give a shit what you think about me? Are you THAT self-centred? Maybe my posts aren’t tailored to you, and that’s fine! Not everyone is making content specifically for your consumption, and might just be marketing to a different audience. If you’re not pickin’ up what I’m puttin’ down, that’s okay. Maybe I’m just not putting it down for your specific needs.

You know, before I joined Tumblr, a comment like this would have sent me SPIRALLING. But now I’ve realised that there is actually a place and a people to whom I am entertaining. I just gotta find the right audience.

One of my favourite inspirational quotes ever is by Einstein and it’s that “everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree, it would think itself an idiot” or words to that effect. Yeah- my talent for spinning Leo Valdez round my brain like a candy-floss machine until it eventually turns into content isn’t necessarily “fun at parties” or useful for getting a job or good for… y’know… anything applicable to the Real World™️ but here I’ve found where I CAN put it to good use! And a year ago I didn’t have that.

Before Tumblr, my lil fishy body was struggling ‘er way up that tree. Here, I’ve found my ocean!

Not sure where this metaphor is going in relation to the topic of you finding me annoying… I guess fish me doesn’t feel like such an “idiot” now that I’ve found where I belong? Like I know that my talents are niche but SOMEONE likes ‘em. Actually quite a lot of people like ‘em, judging by my follower count. And I didn’t get this far by just having a cute cat pic as my pfp, but by actually building my skill and working hard! And I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. SO FUCK YOU!!! HUZZAH!!!

I’m aware of how much of an asshole I sound like, but honestly? I am proud of myself. And my girl deserves her moment.

I feel a little bad responding guns-ablaze bc your hate comment was legitimately kinda nice and considerate?

But Also- how weird is this as a hate comment? Like you’re being insulting but you’re also saying you like my stuff? Geez, it says a lot about you that you can’t even send anon hate correctly.

If you wanna keep reading my stuff, go ahead! You just either gotta power through whatever weird complex you have about me, or just don’t read it. I don’t really see what good sending me this ask will do. Whatever gripe you have, put it aside. Like how I put aside your lack of capital letters in that comment, knowing that my stupid obsessive thing with Grammar shouldn’t affect how I treat other people, and that that is my OWN problem to deal with.

I’m being silly here. I’ve just never had the confidence to roast my haters before. I’ve never had haters to roast (online, anyway) so forgive my overzealousness. If you couldn’t tell- I was a theatre kid and still am…

In all seriousness, I like how self-aware you are that you’re being prejudiced and jealous. And I’m kinda curious as to what specifically you’re jealous of? But that’s just to boost my own ego.

I’m aware that I can be a little intimidating sometimes, particularly in a written form of socialisation. I like grammar, okay? I like rules and guidelines and careful, creative choices to show emotion and how you can break the rules in certain ways to give depth and nuance to the character and find the pattern of letters and characters to communicate what you’re feeling over a written format and-

If you couldn’t tell by all the fanfics I write- I also have a passion for writing.

Also, what specific prejudices? I’m genuinely intrigued. Is it specifically based off of one of the protective characteristics (under the 2011 Equality Act)? Or is it more just the way I behave? Or is it something I said? Like don’t be shy I don’t want vague I want DETAILS!!

And I realise that me writing a whole freaking dissertation on your comment just PROVES your point that I’m annoying but I. Don’t. Care. I’m having fun. I can’t help that I have a lot of Thoughts And Feelings about things. It’s just how my brain works. Also, it is currently 1:23am where I live, so brain go brrr. If you made it this far, anon, I salute you! Thank you for taking the time to hear me out even though you think I’m annoying. That’s honestly a good quality to have. Here, have a sweet 🍬

And I know that that was… intense, to say the least. Oh BOY do I know that I can be intense. But genuinely- GENUINELY- I’d love to sit down and have a discussion with you on this because it truly fascinates me how other people perceive me. And, if you’re comfortable coming out of anon (if not, that’s fine) I’d like to learn more about why you think these things. Not necessarily so that I can change- but it’d be a great opportunity to see what I can learn about myself through what you think at me. I know it seems like I’m mad- I’m really not! I’m just captivated by the world and how others look at me.

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out, and I hope to have good conversations with legitimate constructive criticism in many posts to come! Never stop being passionate. Just maybe direct your passion to something more positive. Thank you so much for the ask, this was a really good thought experiment for me.

Oh yeah it IS Munday! I have some new moots so I’d like to introduce myself! I’m RF/Rodentfanatic/Ratty/Rodent/Ratmun/Ms Rat! Or 90smun! I’m 33, I work at a day center for adults with intellectual disabilities, I volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary, and I absolutely ADORE rodents and other small furry creatures! I currently own two rats (Maia and Sugar), two chinchillas (Cashmere and Pashmina), and five mice (Kiss, Bean, Cookie, Custard, Pudding) and will be adopting a new mouse this weekend named Lucia. All are girls; that wasn’t planned, it’s just the current menagerie. Due to rodent’s short lifespans, the roster DOES change a lot. I post pictures of these critters with the tags for what they are (mouse, rat, etc) if you need to filter them, I know some people don’t want to see rodents. If you have a special blacklist tag you use, I can use that too. I also post pics from the wildlife sanctuary as well. Some animals you’ll frequently see are Ferdinand the Bull, Carmine and Wilee the coyotes, and the sanctuary rats that I’m socializing. I also like fashion and will post pics of myself when I think I’m wearing a nice outfit. This can be filtered by the tag “mun face” if that’s not something you’re interested in. While I originally kept OOC to a minimum, I’ve gradually grown to share a lot about my life, including my rather odd but lovable family, such as my father and his bizarre standards of masculinity for rodents. Yeah, that’s a thing. While this blog is an RP blog for S.ebastian Shaw, I love a lot of other obscure or despised Marvel characters, most primarily Haven aka R.adha Dastoor (who has her own VERY quiet blog @mypralaya ) but also Madelyne Pryor, Shinobi Shaw, Ajak, and more, and I do talk about them and have a fanfic universe they all co-exist and interact in even though most have never met each other in canon. It’s called Alt-Marauders because it originally grew out of hating Duggan’s Marauders so much I made my own. So if you see me rambling about them, yeah, sorry. I’m quite friendly, I can’t emphasize this enough! I know we’re all very shy on Tumblr, but if you ever wanna approach me in the asks or IMs, I’m always happy to make friends and chat!

Favourite things 🧾

When I’m feeling doubtful, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember the beautiful receipts and then I don’t feel so mad? 🤯 Am I crazy?

You know I’m a new shipper, only been looking at tumblr since April this year and only started posting less than 3 weeks ago.

I do think sometimes what if I’ve got it wrong, I’m only human!

So I challenged myself to list receipts off the top of my head and this is what I got…(in a few minutes)

1 Sam saying wanted to push this relationship on? Who says that unless it’s for love?

2 Red carpet in her frilly dress, Sam “Good way to cover it” later Cait says “you smell nice.” being told to shut up by their team as voices can be heard on mike. Why? What’s wrong with her saying her co star smells nice?…

3 Saks: Why would Sam get so upset about revealing he wore a suit on a beach and was on the edge, why would Cait need to comfort him? Unless something to hide…why would she need to say f*** them!👇

4 All the wifey/hubs texts who would do that if supposed to be with someone else?

5 The look of lust on red carpets, plus all the kissing, who would do that if with someone else, disrespectful!

6 IFH what was all the drama about if they weren’t together. Why did they both look the worst they have ever looked, pale, stressed, nauseated and especially unhappy 🙁. Why would Sam say “ We could try”, “Why would Cait say 🤐” It was all too weird….

7 Wolf whistling Cait T2 prem when her “boyfriend” is stood behind them. Disrespectful !

8 Getting jealous of a past boyfriend she had at 14 at same T2 premier during interviews.

9 Paley 2015 The kisses, flirting, touching, ring…

10 Sam looking after Eddie whilst Cait running marathon, if leading separate lives why so interconnected? Didn’t you have something hot and single to do?

11 Same pics IG/Twitter, same likes, following same accounts eg baby food. Too many to not be together.

12 Sam said she was at TSWDM premiere, why did you mention she was there when she stayed hidden?

13 In interviews, the “looks/ secret codes” Cait signalling Sam to shut up with her knee re the table…

14 Both not being able to get back to LA but supposedly in different places! Only one airline had problem.

15 Morning selfie, then deleted and both missing whisky tasting!

16 Same hotel on Mother’s Day in Scotland? Wouldn’t you be doing stuff separately with own family?

17 Sam Why would you say we are together, if you’re not? ……..and why do you not say you’re not together when asked if you are? and then you go into deflection mode and change the subject thats your standard answer? so many times!!!!

18 Same hotel, different rooms for zoom calls for season 5 Outlander.

19 Inappropriate BTS outlander, if with someone else disrespectful plus nothing inappropriate seen with Tobias.

20 Why would Sam ask Cait if she’s “alright with this shite?”after just giving the most fake looking bro hug to her fiancé?

21 Both having exactly the same Audi family car. Neither of them supposed to have kids? Why hot single Sam got a family car, way too practical…

22 Boner on red carpet with the peek a bewb dress….say no more!

23 Friends, collegues suggesting otherwise….so many!

24 Baby announcement way too weird, not saying it’s Tony’s by name 😫 who would do that unless it’s a lie…

25 If you’re promoting yourself as hot single Sam then why 👇 suggest you are a son in law?

26 Weird IG/ tweets pre and post on Cait wedding day.

So that’s what I came up with straight off the top of my head ( I’ve thought of more since) and now it’s written down guess what, I know I’m right! they HAVE to be together, it’s all too weird for them not to be right?

I’m not going crazy, am I? 😜🤞

If I’ve got it wrong I won’t be able to trust my gut/eyes ever again?!

Post 23 Sept 2021

Hi, I’m Shay

I honestly forgot about my tumblr page, I deleted it off of my phone because I never used it but I recently started using it again and now that I have an iPad it’s a lot easier to use than on my tiny little phone. I’ve been wanting to start a blog and I just realized I can use tumblr. I was deciding weather I want an anonymous account or not but honestly I don’t think it matters and I’m not afraid to show who I am, that being said I won’t post myself all the time but here and there I will.

Let’s get into business, my names shay and I just turned 23 on May 2nd, I am a Taurus sun, Sagittarius moon & Gemini rising. I am in the process of discovering myself. I recently discovered that I have/had a huge social media & t.v addiction & this is what’s stunting my growth and my goals. The past 2 days I’ve been taking a social media break, I am a content creator so I still have to post but I am not watching content or spending more than 30 minutes on the apps. By apps I mean unproductive ones like TikTok & Instagram the big 2. I also have been taking a break from watching shows and I’ve replaced that with movies. I will no longer be watching any new shows, I refuse to binge watch ever again. I knew that I spent too much time on TikTok but it didn’t hit me until I read a post on tumblr about why you shouldn’t be staring at a screen all day, I’ll add it at the bottom with my other pictures. When I first read this post I was very thrown off by it because of the name calling she’s 100% right but the name calling was very unnecessary.

The online world was stopping my potential for years… I was the kind of person who would talk about what they wanted to do but rarely put in action and watch tv all day instead. My screen time was 16 hours + every day. It just started going down to 5-8 hours. I’m marking today May 4th 2022 the start of my new journey. I have things that I want to do in life, places I want to visit & people I want to meet. I want to share my journey with you all and inspire you to start yours as well, if you haven’t already. Nice to meet you & I’ll catch you in my next post. <3

[All these pictures were taken by me except the tumblr post of course that’s just a screenshot. The last picture is a picture of me of course. I moved out on my own almost a year and a half ago & I usually never leave my house other than the grocery store, taking pics & going to the park. I’ve been trying to explore recently and push myself outside of my comfort zone. I live in a big city in Texas the biggest state in America.]

[neobubz]

okay…so something has been weighing on my mind the past month. first i want to say to those who i promised a story to — i am in the process of writing them. as quiet down is ending soon with part 8 (half done already), part 9, then an epilogue — i’ll be able to focus solely on those requests and hopefully get them out to you in a timely manner.

but... i'm finding myself feeling more discouraged each passing day... i decided to create this blog so i can share my stories and interact with other fans but time and time again i feel like a machine.

i have people asking to be put onto tag lists and predominantly that's it. first, thank you for asking, i love that, but i'm not used to the way tumblr fanfiction works around here. is it customary to consume story after story after story and not tell the writers if it's good or not? or talk about your favorite part of the chapter/story? to just read and not reblog or "like" the post? i used to write on asianfanfics (not sure if anyone knows that site) but over there you weren't/aren't able to read stories unless you are subscribed. there are actual statistics that show you if people are "actively reading" your stories. to see which chapters seemed to have done well (which is crazy since a whole story i wrote...granted never finished...had ups and downs throughout the chapters -_- idk...) but it at least gave the writer a clear view as to whether or not people were enjoying things. on here...i'm left in the dark... i don't know if you guys are reading the stories, if you like them or not. and i know that not everyone is going to read EVERY story i put out but the numbers aren't adding up on my end... i write these stories for myself (of course) but i also write them for you guys as well. i try so damn hard to make sure that stories feel inclusive enough for all ages 18+ (which is why i do not/hopefully will not unless specified) use 'noona' 'oppa' 'unnie' terms. i try to remember we are all different shapes and sizes so any smut i write (i try to make the scenes believable enough for those who are a size 0 to a size 22+) because we're all beautiful and as this is a fan "fiction" i want us all to experience our little fantasies to the best of our abilities... but again...it's crickets on my end...

i don't want to leave this site at all...i want to keep writing for those who actually like my stories, but it's getting harder and harder...

i’ve read on here that some people are afraid to talk to writers because they think that they are flooded with messages. well i can tell you for me...i'm not. there are actual moths floating out of my inbox whenever i come on here haha

i've also read on here that some people are intimidated by their favorite writers (which i'm not saying i'm your favorite, but hopefully an honorable mention XP) thus making them shy away from talking. i assure you i’m a nice person. if you ever felt shy to talk to me don't ^^

i'm sure some people on here are thinking "well you don't have to write. you can just write these for yourself not post them" to which i'd say... i had hoped to have found a community of people who i can talk to and just fangirl over any group i write for but i'm starting to think i was getting my hopes up to high.

if you have talked to me please don’t take this message as me saying this to you. to those individuals you know who you are i want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you! whether we chatted for a day or through anon messages, thank you.

at the end of the day, i get it…people don’t like reblogging because they have blog aesthetics, but if you look up at the top of my profile where i have fav stories, that's a sideblog where aside from gifs/pics i have reblogged some stories to help out other writers. it's not impossible to do and you can keep your main blog as 'aesthetic' as you like.

i was shocked to see that my quiet down story has literally "7 notes" on Part 7, and it's been up for 24 hours...i can't even find ANY of the parts when i search up the hashtags because the engagement has been so low they're nonexistent..i've had to reblog the other parts so much that i'm thinking am i the only one doing this?

seriously i ask kindly, if you like my stories reblog them so others can find them. that is all i ask.

this story started off on a plus side but as the story has progressed it has just gone downhill. i have no idea if it’s because it’s terrible. if the writing just sucks...the plot is bad... and i don’t know if it’s because im writing about renjun and haechan…

i could be overthinking but lately things have just gone downhill on here and it’s not making me want to update or produce stories in a more timely fashion...

i may loose some of my followers for posting this but please you have to know and understand that behind all of these stories that you're reading are people writing them. people who work their asses off to give you something worth reading. taking time away from doing other things for all of us (including the writers themselves) to indulge in a world of fantasy that is fan fiction.

tell your favorite writers you like their stories. send them messages encouraging them to keep going. or just to say hi and ask how their day is going, or possibly start a dialogue with them about kpop (or if they've talked about other interests ask them about that) we're all fans here. reblog their stories. i can't stress this enough, if you want to truly and i mean truly 100% help your favorite writers reblogging and then liking the stories is crucial. reblogging helps the story to reach a sh*t ton more people than liking the story (but likes are always welcomed). tell them in a comment if you liked the story or if a certain part shocked you/excited you w/e (or do it in a message anonymously). just make sure that your favorite writers stay on here...because i know A LOT of them are leaving...and it saddens me as well.

to anyone who has made it this far, thank you for taking the time out of your day/life to read what i have to say. to those who have liked, reblogged, commented, sent me messages, or even chatted with me, thank you. i appreciate you.

if anyone felt offended/attacked while reading this, that was not my intention with this post.

i hope you all have a wonderful day/night wherever you are and if you're a reader of quiet down, i hope to see you in part 8.

thank you, kay/neobubz

[buttercupsfrocks]

Hi Tumblr! Since two days ago was allegedly The Last Day Of Summer, I thought I’d better get a move-on with my posts as I have a backlog of summer OOTDs not yet shared. Plus it’s been a while since I spammed you with Ubi pics.

Last month was his one year adoptiversary. How is it possible for time to simultaneously whizz yet crawl by? And seriously, how handsome is he?

And only 10% bonkers! The other 90% being comprised of pure, unadulterated love. I consider myself very fortunate. 

Izzy considers herself cursed, even though he adores her and often greets her with a joyous yell and a head boop. Mind you I did notice her mellowing over the past couple of weeks, during which he went down with a nasty both-ends stomach thing that’s doing the rounds in my ‘hood just now. I’m just relieved she didn’t contract it too as it involved three injections, gross looking gloop mixed in with his food for 5 days, and the predictable unpleasantness with the thermometer. Unlike Dweezil, who would have to have been held down by four members of veterinary staff while roaring for their blood, Ubi was as good as gold. 

But on with the frocks...

Both of these were on my original Taking Shape wishlist and I have worn the heck out of them this summer, particularly the sleeveless one, which despite being polyester, is quite fine and surprisingly cool. 

I paired this one with a necklace I’d forgotten I’d thrifted a few months back. From a distance it almost looks like amethyst rather than four quids worth of plastic from Cancer Research. I thought it harmonised quite nicely with the paler of the purples in the print.

This oft-re-mixed cardi has developed a small hole in the back, but I can’t bring myself to retire it until I find a suitable replacement because it’s such a good colour and goes with so much in my wardrobe. (Like both of these frocks for instance). Thanks to eBay I’m also now the proud owner of 2 pairs of matching Gudrun Sjoden tights. I have wanted lime green tights for bloody ever. The nearest I’ve gotten was a pair of lime green popsox as a child in the early 70s. Worse still I think I wore them with my bibbed purple hotpants. You can just glimpse a Gudrun-clad ankle here.

A friend had recommended Sjoden tights ages ago but I wasn’t sure they’d be capacious enough to fit and, in fact, they only just do. And while they don’t roll down, which is imperative if you’re apple-shaped, (solidarity with all my fellow apples who’ve ever minced down the street with their knees clamped together because their tights had reached The Point Of No Return), but neither the quality or fit is a patch on Snag, whom I will endorse till I croak, they’re so good. These feel slightly rough-textured, but that might be because they’re made of recycled polyester. At any rate the moment Snag offer a lime green alternative I will be defecting.

As a brief aside I was chuffed to bits with these vintage repro bangles I thrifted in Chiswick earlier in the summer. I scored a red one in the same design as the sludgy green at the same time. No idea who made them but they were very reasonable and they look to be brand new too.

[toshio]

I ended up deleting my Facebook, twitter and Instagram because I was so tired of how other people treated me. I use to catch people lurking on my posts, like legit had one girl fave and unfave so many of my tweets constantly. Then I had all my shit on private as possible and petty blocked people then I started to get requests from the most oddest accounts that I obviously knew who they were. I would catch people screencapping my profile pics and I even found a Twitter thread with people trying to get me to add them on their "dummy" accounts. I don't even think I'm that interesting, yet people felt the need to stalk and basically harss me on social media. So I just have this tumblr and don't ever post anything about myself and my life is 1000000000% more peaceful.

oof sorry to hear that. i’ve been online since i was like 10 honestly, i’m turning 24 in 2 months and social media is dumb. it’s a double edged sword, you meet nice and cool people and receive validation from strangers, but on the flip side people feel the need to come for your throat and criticize you. if you don’t have thick skin, i’d just be a lurker online and keep a low profile. social media makes you compare yourself to others so sometimes it can lower your self esteem even further, but just remember that people in the 80s were funky without being glued to smartphones!

Random long update post about my life i guess? LOL

Been enjoying messing with tamagotchis lately!!! I’ve always wanted ones with a colored screen, so I caved and bought some Tamagotchi On and it’s SO fun! Like, I just play with a lil pixel friend and can marry them off. It’s a commitment, but also, easy to just take a breather from my day to see how they’re doing and then continue working on whatever I was doing. I also downloaded the MyMeets thing bc I kinda want to try and make my own pixel bg bc wouldn’t that be cute??? Would also want to commission Poo for one as well bc I always liked their pixel works. I’ve also wanted a Sanrio Meets one, but they’re SO expensive, so I’m going to wait a bit before buying one. I really want to marry Sanrio meets tamas to my On and I think it would be cute to see. The blue one is technically my fiances (though I’m the one that mostly looks out for it) and the other one is mine. I named my first tama child Denjitchi, after Denji from Chainsaw Man bc I read that a couple weeks back and FELL IN LOVE. I really love the characters and world, and it’s how I felt with Dorohedoro, where the world seems so dire? But the character relationships are so fun and you get attached to so many. I also really love how it’s violent, but also fun??? Not only that but the concept fo their abilities are weird in a cool way, the devils are kinda freaky too and I love that. Also love the entrance of the Darkness Devil and the name itself made me laugh bc u know. LMAO-- I like the sense of dark humor it has. After that, I made sure to preorder both Denji and Power nendoroids bc I love their relationship the most! I wonder if there’s gonna be a part 2... I need it, after the heartbreak I experienced with Aki...

I also figured out how to buy nijisanji goods, so I caved and bought chronoir kuma rubber charms and they’re so cute, I don’t want to take em out of their plastic-- I have no idea where I want to hang these either bc I don’t want them to get dirty or lost bc they’re expensive. I also preordered two Kuzuha nendoroids from different sites (bc they have different preorder bonus LMFAO) along with Himawari nendo bc I like her too and I swear nendos NEVER really caught my attention before, but for SOME REASON goodsmile started coming out with REALLY good ones that appealed to me and now I find myself wanting a new one every month??? Smh, calm down!! Anyway, Idk why I like vtubers-- something about watching someone with a cute anime avatar just doing something so mundane such as playing video games or singing is a nice comfort to me ever since quarantine happened. Like not only that, but all the Holostar goods I ordered months ago are all finally being shipped and idk where the heck I’m gonna put those either LMAO.

Hmm what else, in February, I got a instax printer thingy and I’m having fun testing out how my art works look on it! I think it would be cute to make personalize polaroid pics for others too as a commission, though I’m a lil hesitant atm because it’s kind of hard to not have the colors too washed out. When I was testing it on Kii, I had to bring the brightness down along with increasing the saturation and contrast just so that his colors wouldn’t be so washed out! 

Besides talking to close friends, I’ve been keeping mostly to myself on social media, not even posting art everyday, which is nice, but also social media has skewed my relationship with art where if I’m not posting it, then I’m just wasting time. I’m still trying to get over the fact that I’m not just an artist and that I’m allowed to venture out into new things and work on projects myself without having to post every single detail about it on the internet. Every since I graduated university, I shifted from just drawing all the time to having more time to find more interests outside of art. Sushi and Poo convinced me to do journaling as well, so I started that in February and it’s been fun to write down unfiltered thoughts, even though it’s a mess, along with making random spreads. I enjoy being able to still be creative without having to post it, you know? I’m still trying to find my flow when it comes to balancing commissions and my own projects and interests-- I have to keep myself accountable with my own schedule.

There are so many things I want to do, but it’s easy to feel so overwhelmed that I end up not doing any of it at all and reverting back to whatever I’ve always done. I enjoy immersing myself in my work, my projects, my interests. I want to do that, but at the same time I do need to be active on social media from time to time because I still need to do commissions. I like sharing my work to have that connection with others, I just don’t like the pressure of trying to upkeep an audience or anything that social media culture pushes onto people. I guess that’s why I still like tumblr because I can just post whatever and not care too much lol. That’s all I can think of from the top of my head in this convoluted, messy, post about my life (I say this as if it's not some essay or some shit lmao). Nothing really eventful tbh??? Just been doing my own thing and then I would have weekly voice calls with Sushi and Poo and then catch up to other friends once or twice a month.

Hope everyone else is doing well~

Tagged by @bluejayblueskies !! Thank you! :)

1- Why did you choose your url?

It's a reference to the scene in Good Omens where Shadwell accuses Aziraphale of "seducing women with his wiles"! Somehow hearing the mildly distressed response "I think perhaps you've got the wrong shop" during what I'll call a formative period of my life made that phrase stick with me, can't imagine why :)

2- Any side blogs?

Nope!

3- How long have you been on tumblr?

Since somewhere around October 2020 I think?

4- Do you have a queue tag?

Nope! I know this is silly but I don’t like the idea of things being posted when I’m not around to monitor them lmao

5- Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Spent a solid year just sitting on the sidelines staunchly refusing to make my own blog, and then some very lovely people made some very lovely art for my fic that got posted here and one thing led to another :)

6- Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I made this one for ao3 bc I wanted something vaguely tma-adjacent and then was too fond of it to make a new one for tumblr!

7- Why did you choose your header?

No special reason for that one, just a nice pic from my camera roll!

8-What’s your post with the most notes?

Wow it might actually be the most recent chapter of my amnesia fic. I’ve never broken 200 notes and I am living in bliss <3

9- How many mutuals do you have?

25ish?

10- How many followers do you have?

139!

11- How many people do you follow?

57! I don't like when there's too much on my dash to reasonably scroll through in a sitting

12- Have you ever made a shitpost?

Not to my memory?

13- How often do you use Tumblr each day?

More since I caved and downloaded the app... no idea how often in numbers though

14- Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

No thankfully

15- How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Not a fan, even if the ideas are good!

16- Do you like tag games?

LOVE them. I have far too much fun sharing facts about myself :)

17- Do you like ask games?

Also very much yes!

18-Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

I am simply not on this website enough to answer that

19- Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Nope :)

I'll tag @asexualzoro, @cobalt-knave, and @princess-of-purple-prose (only if you want to!)

three stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

::In very convincing Matthew McConaughey Texan:: Alright alright alright, 3 stars, 3 fics to disclose little nuggets of info on...

1.  From Fixer Upper, Chapter 4 - Jon and Dany’s text exhange:

She was laughing even as she sent the text, knowing how touchy he was about this topic. Honestly, it was the whole reason she sent it.

Dany: I can’t believe we’ve been fake dating this long and you haven’t sent me a single dick pic 😖

The text bubble appeared for so long she was a little worried, but then his novel-length answer appeared. She was two lines in before she was laughing so hard she was crying and her vision blurred beyond her ability to continue reading at all.

Jon: How ABSOLUTELY DARE YOU?! Apparently I need to explain this AGAIN? If the Westerosi Security Agency is going to see my dick they can come here and do it in person like men. I’m not just gonna offer it up on a silver platter for them. Also need I remind you I am a small business owner, madam? This store is my kingdom and you ask me to besmirch it’s good name so you can see my cock at 2 pm on a Thursday? I’m disappointed in you Daenerys, I really am.

It should probably come as no surprise, given the ‘Buttslut’ text I shared awhile back, that a lot of the dialogue I write (including text messages) comes from the way my husband and I talk to each other, and in this case I based Jon’s reluctance to free the Peen digitally off my own husband’s unbreakable stance that sending dick pics means your dick is then somewhere in the cloud and idk I guess he thinks the Governtment is just chilling and collecting nudes all day.  Anyway, I really did ask him once when we were dating why he had never sent me a dick pic and he said something along the lines of Jon’s response here, and even now, years later, it still makes me laugh, so I used it :)

2.  A Thin Line (Just some thoughts on this fic in general, that I’m not sure I’ve shared):

I was SURE, ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that a lot of people would hate this fic.  Like, I was over the top about ‘Hey this is crack’, etc, because as much fun as I had making them just awful people to each other, I was like ‘ugh there’s gonna be some stans in both camps that maybe get pissed about this’, but I figured fuck it, let’s do it.  The thing about them in this fic that I really, really enjoyed writing was that they are completely and totally unapologetic about themselves, and letting myself just really let them be the worst versions of themselves, I don’t know, guys.  It felt good.  So good that I was like ‘hmmmm, maybe keep it in the drafts.’

Because that’s the thing I like best about them and this fic - it’s not a redemption story about two tortured souls who find each other and then learn the error of their ways.  It’s more like two villains meet at villain convention and will they birth the antichrist?  Who knows, really, but probably, yes.  Definitely.

Anyway, I really dug that so many people enjoyed their unspeakably assholish tendencies and please know I haven’t abandoned my part 3, in which Dany gets to snob it up in the North and you know, so more light bondage, maybe some matching prenups, I don’t want to give it all away.

3.  From Fang and Claw, Chapter 1:

“When you say fucking,” Drogon drawled, “what exactly do you mean, snack?”  The three were all gathered near the stone walls of the Keep, guards watching anxiously as the three creatures of legend circled and paced.

“Stop calling him that.”  Rhaegal leaned in, nipping at Drogon’s swishing black tail.  “He has a name.”

Drogon rolled his eyes, looking at his brother incredulously.  “I’ll call him whatever I like.  What’s he going to do?  Howl me to death?”

Rhaegal glared, inching closer to Ghost.  “He’s magic, like us, and he’s Jon’s, so you’d better behave.”  The green dragon growled.  “You know what mother said.”

The black dragon gave a dismissive snort, his eyes searching the windows of the Keep instead of Rhaegal or Ghost.  “Be nice.  Yes, I heard her.  This is me.  Being nice.  Not eating this talking little snack.”  His eyes shot to the wolf’s.  “Rather nice of me, isn’t it,” teeth gnashed together, grinding as Drogon uttered grudgingly, “Ghost.”

The white wolf ignored the black dragon, his eyes also falling to the windows.  “You want to know what fucking is or don’t you?”

“I want to know what it is you mean when you say Jon is fucking my mother, yes.”  Drogon sounded angry, offended even, and Ghost was surprised two mighty creatures could be so absolutely innocent to the ways of the world.  Why, he’d been fucking for years now.  Surely there were girl dragons flying about somewhere, though the lack of fucking certainly explained the black dragon’s horrible attitude.

“I feel itchy.”  Rhaegal was shifting restlessly beside him.

Ghost gave a wolfish grin.  “You’re bonded to Jon now.”  Rhaegal nodded though it was not a question.  “That’s what it feels like when Jon’s fucking your mother.”  The wolf’s mouth fell open, and he panted in Drogon’s direction.  “Like an itch you need to scratch.”

His red eyes fell to the windows till he found the one he wanted, and he whispered for the duo to follow as closely as they could as they slid along side the ancient stone, ‘til they were just under the window to Jon’s chambers.

“Hear that?”  He certainly could, and by the look of confusion on the dragons’ faces they could as well.  The Silver Dany let out a throaty yell then, followed by Jon’s name, the sounds and smells of mating flowing from the open window and out into the night.

“Is he hurting her?”  Drogon was rumbling and thrashing his tail about, rage building in those mad eyes.

But Rhaegal responded before Ghost could answer.  “No.”  He drew the word out, his head rising until he could look into the room for himself, then shooting back down to stare at Ghost.  “Why are they doing that?”

Drogon mirrored his brother’s actions, even angrier but endlessly puzzled when he lowered his head as well, clearly befuddled by what he’d seen.  “Explain this!”

Ghost gave a shrug, padding off a few paces, ready to give his brother a spot of privacy with his mate, heading for the clearing along the tree line where he could scent some rabbits running.  “It’s what they do.”  The pair was scrambling after him, landbound, awkwardly lumbering after the sleek wolf.  “Humans.”  Both dragons remained clueless, and Ghost snagged a hare and crunched down heavily, warm blood streaking his fur, downing the small prey in a few bites before continuing.  “When they want to make a pup.”

Drogon shuddered as he watched Ghost eat.  “You’re a fucking savage.”  He grumbled and groused, claws swiping out to catch an elk, idly shooting out gouts of flame to cook the meat before he began to tear it apart.  “You don’t even cook your food, little snack.”

Rhaegal ignored it all, focused only on this new knowledge.  “But our mother is a dragon.”  His eyes lit up, suddenly, turning to his brother in excitement.  “It’s how they make eggs!”

Ghost gave a snicker.  “Humans don’t lay eggs.”  He looked at the pair with amused eyes.  “You lot come from eggs?”

Rhaegal gave a nod, but Drogon preened, proud as he broke his meal’s rib cage between his jaws.  “You should be so lucky.  We certainly do.  Beautiful eggs people pay large sums of gold for.”

Ghost crouched, his attention on the deer he could now sense beyond the tree line.  “Like a chicken then.”  He leapt as the black dragon roared in outrage, his jaws sinking into the deer’s neck, and he pulled the twitching body out of the treeline to drop it in a heap before Rhaegal.

“NOT LIKE A CHICKEN!”

Rhaegal looked at Ghost pleadingly before he cooked the deer his host had provided, his eyes begging the wolf to stop baiting his brother, and Ghost grumpily complied.

“Alright, not like a chicken.  Point is, humans have pups that look like them, and they don’t come from eggs.”  He sat on his haunches, watching the pair as they ate.

“So,” Rhaegal snapped into a femur, “you meant to say that’s what Jon’s doing.  Trying to put a small human in our mother.”

The wolf couldn’t stop the snicker of amusement.  “Oh, no he’s already done that.”  He looked at the pair wonderingly.  What sort of beast were they, that they couldn’t smell the pup in their mother?  “Now he’s just fucking her because it feels good.”

There is nothing funnier to me than the idea that (1) Ghost would ever try ot explain to anyone what sex is and (2) that the dragons wouldn’t know and would be VERY offended and it took a little bit for me to write this scene way way back ago when we all thought that Season 8 would not be a massive shitstain in history because I kept laughing so hard picturing this shit.

This story is probaby one of my favorites, just because it’s silly and every magical creature is TIRED TIRED I SAY of everyone dicking around and just the notion that they’re all like ‘THESE HUMANS ARE SO DUMB UGH DO WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING?!”  It just really tickled me, and I might never have written it had the amazing @aweseeds not requested it after her winning bid for the Jonerys Unites charity event.  So, everyone say thank you to aweseeds lol, this might’ve just stayed in my head and silly tumblr posts without that fine investment in fandom content.

Thank you lovely @frostbitepandaaaaa for the ask!  I LOVE YOU BITCH, I AIN’T NEVER GONNA STOP LOVIN’ YOU BITCH!

Attraction tag ✨

Tagged by @lcksndkys (thanks Suzie, this looks fun hehe)

Rules: Post 8-9 people you’re very attracted to.

Kim Namjoon

Namjoon is the most attractive mf to ever walk this earth, don’t fight me ✨ he’s the ultimate package: his facial features are so nice, from his lips to the dimples, to his eyes (esp when he smiles 🥺). And on top of that, he’s smart and seems nice with a killer personality which only makes him even hotter. Being single is just slightly tolerable knowing if I can even achieve close to a fraction of his perfection, it’s worth holding out for 🥰

Kim Seokjin

Listen, when I was in Greece, I came across all these ancient statues with features carved to perfection. And you know what? They all reminded me of Kin freaking Seokjin. This man is too attractive, it’s scary in a vampiric sort of way. Not only has his face persisted through thousands of centuries (convinced he was an Ancient Greek official at some point), but just like his whole aura of being super confident is sexy af (WWH indeed) 😍

Choi Youngjae

I don’t want anyone to sleep on how cute this man is. I’ve never looked at a person and fallen so hard in my life (only Namjoon hahahaha). Like he just has a face that makes you light up and smile and feel like you’ve had an entire cup of hot chocolate on a cold, snowy day. His smile is easily the single best thing I’ve ever seen, and I am a certified simp through and through 🤗

Lim Jaebeom

My single most embarrassing story from the past few weeks is that I’ve spent such an absurd amount of time staring at JB’s Instagram that he literally became my entire explore page at one point oops 😅 ANYWAYS STAN THIS ATTRACTIVE CAT DADDY (for real he has like five cats, talk about being CEO of that 😺)

Dev Patel

Abshsjdjdkdk the brown boy crush I wish I had in college!! Like he’s just so cute!! I loved his evolution from being so wide eyed and innocent in Slumdog Millionaire to really coming into his own as a certified hottie in Lion and his more recent works. He’s a many of many talents, and The Green Knight is the one movie I’m looking forward to this year so I can scream over him ok 💖

Farhan Akhtar

An unconventional pick, considering he’s like 20 years older than me, but also not what one typically gravitates towards when they think of attractive bollywood actors. However, mans exudes big brain energy: he can sing, dance, act, produce, direct, and manage a non profit that seeks to prevent violence against women in India. That alone is worth the mention 💕 (the gif I’m blushing 😳)

Ahn Hyo-Seop

I would host weekly kdrama nights at my apartment so my friends and I could scream over this man. AND HE ALMOST DEBUTED IN GOT7 😮 Thank you for coming to my TED talk, now go watch Abyss pls n thank u 😃

Andrew Garfield

Suzie, I am also jumping up and down bc #1 Peter Parker in my heart! I cannot get over how soft and cute he was as Spider Man and I’m so mad they cancelled the planned movies with him 😡 he’s the only reason I had every single line of The Social Network memorized as a teen

Sidney Crosby

Shoutout to the OG bae, because he’s the reason I found myself on Tumblr in the first place!! I used to (still) have a massive hockey fangirling phase, and he’s 100% of the reason whyyy. Seeing him place in person at my very first hockey game was one of the highlights of my life!! 🤩

Mentally, Jung Hoseok is on this list too and he does not need any explanation or reasoning as to why so here have a sexy Hobi pic

Tagging: @dinamitae @propinqxity @jinpanman @coepiteamare @sunshinekims @augustbutwinter @cutechim and anyone else who sees this and would like to <3

[frannyzooey]

Okay so I've spent a long time curating stuff you wrote and posted because I miss reading your writing (I went all the way back to May 13th, then Tumblr, this hellsite, refreshed 🤡) and would like to say a few things:

You write so much and so beautifully and prolifically, I'm truly amazed by your talent (if u ever hear a "all hail kelli" coming from somewhere, know that I was the one who started the chant)

I'm SO EXCITED for your new Marcus Moreno fic and your Javier Peña fic, I got more and more excited with each ask you answered/pic you tagged as "xxx inspo" about them

Tumblr didn't notify me of weeknights chapter 4, which means it really hates me but that's cool, I already decided to turn on notifications on your blog bc literally every single thing you write is Art™ of the prettiest and most wonderful kind, so I refuse to miss any of it 😤

I am bewildered at how sweet and kind and thoughtful you are - this "dive", of sorts, i did into your blog showed me just how much of a good and caring person you are, your answers and comments on others' fics were always so wholesome and joyful, idk man, you really are special! And it didn't really come as a surprise, but it just makes me incredibly warm inside thinking that you're out there making people's days better and being this bright light in the community, not to mention i still can't believe my luck to be able to call you a friend. You are wonderful 🥺❤️

I just remembered something else, I'm very 👀👀👀 at Gracie's happy ending which you hinted at in an answer 👁️👁️ is it out already? Did I miss it? Hdjdjdjsjsh

Anyways. I must sound like a broken record by now saying how much I love, appreciate and admire you, but I just can't help myself 🤷 now I'll go and read all the stuff I missed out on from you and I'd like to thank you once again for writing and sharing your marvelous talent for free like the literal angel you are 🥰✨

lela ❤️

I truly do not deserve this kind of love — your reblogs (which gave me life yesterday), your endless kindness, this wonderful ask just dropped into my inbox — it’s been a rough couple of days and it’s like you knew I needed that extra shot of love and came bursting in here with it like the ray of sunshine you are 🥰

1) I don’t even know what to say to this — I am so beyond happy you like my writing, it makes me so happy to share it and sometimes I get a little nervous about posting too much or wish I was a little bit more careful? choosing? about my writing but the way you just took those insecurities and said “NOT TODAY” — thank you 🥰❤️

2) eeeeee!!! I am so excited you are excited! I have a lot of ideas for them and it’s been nice to explore the fic in asks because it kinda takes the pressure off writing something more substantial? longer? more structured? looking at those tags is kinda dreamy, ain’t it? 😍

3) BUT THEN YOU READ IT AND MADE ME CRY with your reblog and I’m still weepy — thank you ☺️

4) this is something that is really important to me because sharing takes guts, takes being vulnerable, takes putting yourself out there and as someone who very much struggles with that in real life I want to make sure that I am beyond welcoming and enthusiastic to anyone who wants to share anything on here. kindness takes so little yet goes such a long way and I love seeing it on my dash — it makes people feel so welcomed and then we get more content which is always the goal, right? ❤️ you are my friend, something for which I am very thankful and you are one of the biggest resources of support and kindness — the generosity you provide with your time to support and uplift others is truly inspiring and I love you for that. 🥰

5) Gracie IS gonna get her ending — you didn’t miss it ❤️ feel free to send me any asks you have about her in the meantime, I’ve missed her so!

YOU are the angel, a true blessing and I appreciate you more than I can say. I am HONORED you took a deep dive on my blog — if that ain’t a love letter, idk what IS. 🥰🥰❤️

I LOVE YOU

[phoebehalliwell]

I need some kind of a photoshop lesson for this aesthetic of yours

okay i’m gonna do a tutorial real time for a picspam type aesthetic that will look like this ⇣ a photo i will put here once i make it.

step one. open ps : )

welcome : )

okay so dimensions r a thing tumblr compresses photos like hella so i do all my still img aesthetics 900x900 is you’re trying to do this for say insta i would actually recommend jumping up to 1080x1080. pixels, obviously. idk if i have to clarify that.

so click ctrl+n or create new i’ll be doing 900x900

these r the rest of my settings i personally do not think they matter my resolution stays at 72 the only thing i’ve detected this affecting is font size. (side note notice how this pic looks all fuzzy? that’s bc it’s a ss with a boatload of pixels. and if there’s one thing tumblr hates. it’s pixels. and then it’s users. but who’s counting? tumblr is. i recommend keeping ur still images 900x900♥)

step two is collecting ur images i personally use pinterest for these bc quite frankly it’s really nice & easy to find these types of photos esp if you’re looking for a canon character bc if you type in [character name] aesthetic you’ll get stuff if you don’t quite frankly even just type in aesthetic you can scroll until you find an image you like click on that and go through like images underneath it and keep burning thru. like u probably know how to work pinterest. but i am being thorough and covering my bases. searching [color] aesthetic is also nice or even searching a character that isn’t the character you’re doing this for but who’s kind of similar that also works. i recommend esp for charmed bc their pinterest gets bogged down with screencaps and then like. charms like jewelry searching “charmed aesthetic” or “phoebe halliwell aesthetic” really just doesn’t cut it so what i’d recommend is instead of going through pins, go through boards.

bc like. big difference. other pro tips if you see a board you like, go to the person’s profile and check out their other boards bc odds are you’ll find more you like. another protip if you’re specifically doing ocs typing in oc aesthetic will get you a lot even going to the boards on that as well. yields.

so. you’ve gathered ur images. u need five. open em. i’m making an aesthetic 4 myself which you’ve probably already guessed from the fact i’m putting the finished piece at the top, but it’s not ready yet so it’s still a surprise for me. 

cropping. if ur doing a 900x900, use these setting exactly. 1080x1080 use 1080/2 x 1080/3. i’m not doing the math 4 u ♥

most important part? Delete Cropped Pixels. otherwise ur not really doing anything. crop all five images.

but them in ur document. document? psd? ur thing ♥ place them places. u do not have to commit now. leave one middle one blank. it does not matter which one. i personally like to alternate my text pieces if i’m doing a long post like what i did on my ncwotng set. some people keep them all on the same side. this lowkey bugs me i feel like it throws off the Balance but i imagine some people like The Consistency. i don’t. but w/e. it’s up to u as this is gonna be ur set. also like. as you’ve cropped these to x/2,x/3 settings they should fit nice like puzzle pieces : )

the next step i personally like doing is creating by text box with The Color™ do this bc simply duplicating one of ur images, shoving it in the empty slot, and converting into a sharp object. edit contents.

now. obvi i selected these images w a color scheme in mid. i recommend u do the same. even if it’s just vague. they don’t all have 2 fit. this is my example of my sheridan piece b4 or after. tweaking is possible. layers w masks r ur friend. i can talk about them more if need be.

But. back 2 the smart object. brush tool. paint it.

♥

the text i used was times new roman all caps 40pt font 0 spacing for the title and times new roman 14pt font 0 spacing italics for the subheading. here’s my dency b4 and after for comparison

next step is after you have your text in alright, shove everything into groups. mode on “normal”

then you can start editing. the groups let you edit things like lighting and color without touching any of the layers below it 👍

i’m not gonna do a Major coloring tutorial, for lighting i’ll usually tinker with exposure, levels, sometimes brightness/contrast. for colors, color balance + hue/saturation. i rarely touch anything else.

i’ll bring u along 4 the coloring of this one bc i’m gonna add a layer mask.

so the first thing i’m going to do bc the paper itself is already close to the vibe is i’m going to color it normal and just ignore the background

something like that. then i’m going to add a layer mask (square button w the plus sign)

and then i’m going to eye dropper a color off from somewhere else

now i was talking about the “normal” blend mode stops ur color settings from bleeding over onto other images? does not apply to painting on layers but you’re already masking this bad boy, so it doesn’t matter. just don’t say i didn’t warn u

i’d recommend using a really ridiculous blend mode to clean up ur thing at first, i’m using darken which isn’t that wild but like whatevs.

add a layer mask using this button.

select and mask

use this thing to clean up ur mask

okay so i did a lot since we last spoke

but if i impart any lesson to u. it’s: fuck around. find out. that’s literally how i’ve basically done everything. nothing’s ever really gone horribly wrong. click things. see what happens.

okay so now that you’ve kinda gotten everything figured out. change ur text box color again. i’m introducing u to ye ol trick that is not the paint brush. but. hue/saturation on colorize more yeah babyyyyy

ahaha yes. love this bad boy.

Now. Trick To Make Everything Super Cohesive™. put things above All of your groups.

yeah boy.

reorganize ur thing bc u don’t like how it looks.

fuck around w a lot of stuff.

it’s still cluttered.

fuck it. grab a new image.

something like that. never let the fear of striking out keep u from playing the game : )

fuck around a bit more.

vibes♥

save ur image bc u literally Have Not Done That Yet

& then remember the other thing u forgot to do

eyedropper what ur text box looks like move the whole thing to the tippity top and recolor

this is just bc u’ve fuck around a lot w a lot f different settings. this ensures that the text stays the same color u set it as.

okay final step.

turn The Whole Thing into a smart object, smart sharpen
