It's Thanksgiving here in the U.S. today, and so to all of the wonderful friends I have made in this fandom, my longtime followers who are always there quietly engaging or lurking, and the new folks who have started following recently: I am so very thankful for every single one of you. Your continued support means more that I can possibly express, especially after everything that's happened over the last few months.
To my non-U.S. followers, I hope you have a wonderful Thursday and weekend, and to my followers in the U.S., I hope you have a delightful, stress-free, tasty food-filled Thanksgiving. Sending everyone much love... ā¤ļø

TLDR
Okay I cannot believe I'm about to go off like this, but this has been bothering me for awhile, and it's only making me more spiteful. I have been enjoying the influx of Billford art lately. Amazing, great wonderful. What I have Not been enjoying, is the absolute vitriol the Billdip fans have been getting since the influx of TBOB. I was a billdip shipper for awhile. Hell I was a billdip shipper when I was a Parapines shipper-- I liked shipping Dipper with boys. I was also like 14 or 15 at the time. Obviously, if you follow me now, you'll probably notice what my main ship for Dipper is. I grew out of Billdip, and moved on to Pinescone. I have been shipping Pinescone for 10 years. However, not once did I go around saying "Lol, glad I matured and became a better person and shipped something healthier", nor did I post in the billdip tag, condeming people for a fictional ship! And saying mine was better because it was less problematic.
"I'm really glad people stopped shipping Bill and Dipper together. Bill is a 1000 year old triangle demon, and Dipper is 13--" Stop. Repeat what you just said.
"Bill is 1000 year old triangle--"
Repeat that last word to me. "....triangle?" TRIANGLE! I'm sorry what?! This ship is already completely wild enough. You're getting mad at this fictional age gap-- AND BILL IS A FUCKING SHAPE! A FUCKING SHAPE! This ship was weird from the moment GO! And Billford isn't any better. IT'S STILL A SHIP WITH A FUCKING SHAPE! And you're going to sit on your high horse and look down on the Billdip community. On top of it-- they have an age gap too! Bill is still thousands of years old or whatever-- however long it's been, who knows? And Ford was in his 20s or so when he met Bill. That's still a huge, ridiculous age gap-- that Bill could easily use and manipulate; which he did....and then also caught feelings and became a sad ex, but that's beside the point~ Both of these ships are still insane. And again, the bigger thing I think people are just ignoring about these ships--is that Bill is a TRIANGLE! THREE LINES CONNECTED TOGETHER! And this is the hill you're going to die on? ...Cause apparently it's mine. First of all-- as many people pointed out-- Ford Pines did not exist until the second half of the final season. People couldn't ship Fordbill because there wasn't any Ford to introduce.
"Well, even before Ford, I never shipped Billdip! I always disliked it." ...Okay, that's totally fine. Not everyone needs to like or agree on the same ship. Lord knows there's probably people who don't really care for Pinescone either. There's a lot of popular ships that I can't stand. But I'm don't go into a ship tag I don't like, screaming to a void for self validation. I don't go around mocking other people for ships that they had in 2014-- or even still today! It doesn't matter! I did that when I was a kid-- and then realized that was rude, and it was better to just ignore the ships I didn't like and enjoy the ones that made me happy. And grow a community of kind, like minded friends. And listen, I am all for safe spaces and being able to block things that make you uncomfortable. I am not saying people who find the BillDip ship uncomfortable to be idiots or babies or overly sensitive-- or anything like that. I think if something makes you uncomfortable, that is okay and I think it's perfectly fine to blacklist a tag that you don't want to see. I also think it's imperative that people tag things as accurately as they can so people looking at your work can know if one of your pieces has a thing that they don't like-- and therefore can avoid. What I don't appreciate is the fanhate for this ship that is sprouting up like weeds. You can not like something, you can be disgusted by it (I have my Gravity Falls ships I can not stand, nor do I feel comfortable with), but attacking real people for a FICTIONAL SHIP-- two characters who are drawings on a piece of paper and can not be affected mentally, physically or emotionally by fanwork; who still retain the same shape after everything we put them through-- to the point that you send death threats, or threaten to Doxx, or just harass relentlessly, I have always found that more childish and disgusting. You are causing real world pain to people. Me fucking up Dipper Pines is not going to do anything to him-- because he doesn't actually exist. He's a cartoon character. I could squash him and stretch him in Wonka's taffy machine--- I could throw him mock speed at a wall and watch him explode on impact-- but he still exists. He's not dead; I can pick him up and dust him off, and If I wanted-- I could decide that eh, 'Not a scratch on him'. And I'd be right. Because he is a cartoon character, and I am just a fangirl. I can not change anything about him-- I have no ability to make anything I headcanon canon. And even if I was the original artist-- it doesn't change the fact that Dipper would still be nothing more than a creation. A construct of shapes; he can not be hurt or traumatized in a way that leads to real life consequences-- because he is not real. I am not a cartoon character. My friends are not cartoon characters. Artist and Writers who stay in their lane...are not cartoon characters. If you hurt us...it will linger. It will leave a scar. If you can not tell the difference between Fiction and Reality, then I think maybe media might be too much to handle-- and I think you need to really reevaluate yourself.
And just to vent some other things that i keep seeing that are frustrating: You can't claim the twins are only 13-- and then on August 31st go "Happy 20-something Birthday Mabel and Dipper!" And then proceed to drop a picture of them as adults. Well which is it? Do they age or not? Because Gravity Falls showed them canonically aging. If you think the twins age-- then you can't suddenly turn around and go, 'no you can't ship them-- Dipper is a child!' but you drew him as an adult. So sorry, it looks like you can't draw the twins grown up anymore. You claimed they're 13, so better draw them 13 forever--. Aged up stories and works exist for a reason, especially for a fan who grew up on the series. The characters might have grown up alongside them. It's not unlikely for a person to ship Billdip when Dipper is much older.
And on that note, for people who are like 'well older billdip is fine-- it's just people shipping him during the show that deserve to die.' Okay... and like I said, this rant is coming from a recent influx of Billford shippers spitting on Billdip shippers. You know? The TOXIC Old Man Yaoi!
You're still shipping something that is problematic. You are still shipping something twisted and wrong. And I am not judging you. I am here for this divorced arc. I am thriving. But you can't just pick and choose what is and isn't okay. And let me first off explain; if there is something that personally triggers you about a toxic ship, and you want to avoid that-- again, perfectly understandable. Perfectly reasonable. You are the makers of your content space. And I am not judging anyone for that. I want people to be safe. I want people to have a good time in fandom spaces. I want people to not have to deal with the things that upset them or frighten them, or disgust them. But you can not say one is fine, and one is not. They're both bad! They're both toxic. In real life, these ships would both be charged with serious crimes! And yes, there are some crimes that are worse than others, and if you asked me what I thought was more problematic-- I'd say Billdip-- but both of these ships are extreme, and severe in their problematic content. You are still consuming problematic content. If it's a personal thing, that's fine; avoid it. But don't sit there throwing stones from your glass house.
#I can't believe some of ya'll are making me a BillDip Shipper again for your horribly cruel takes#Gravity Falls#BillDip#Dipper Pines#Bill Cipher#Billford#and I am not tagging both ships to start 'drama' or mock anyone#this applies to all ya'll right now#This is probably what gets me hate mail finally#but i have to say it#I'm a proshipper#and I'm sorry but I think a lot of you don't actually understand what that means#And I'm really sick of some of the stuff I've been seeing recently in the Gravity Falls tag#If you wanna block me or unfollow me#that's fine#just please think what I've said through before you decide to say something mean#Rant#Rant Post#I admit I'm scared to post this#but I'm also angry enough to have written it down

Finally had time to sit down and write, but honestly thereās not much to be said other than thank you to everyone who wrote a message on my tree! I really enjoyed reading every single message and screenshotting to save them into a folder for when I need a lil boost ww (including one from Mr. Viper himself above that got a laugh out of me, thanks Jamil really appreciate you thinking Iām cool)
Some sappiness under the cut:
I never expected to receive this much support for my silly yume/oc ship content when I began posting, and I really donāt have the words to express how grateful I am. Iāve met many wonderful people through this fandom, and also just had lots of fun in general making art. I mean it when I say I genuinely never had this much motivation and inspiration to create for any fandom (or original content) in the past. There was a long, long period in my life during which trying to find even a crumb of motivation to draw felt impossible. There was always some reason that I couldnāt - be it school/life being too busy, feeling too tired, having other stuff to do first, etc. I thought Iād never rediscover my love and passion for art, until I finally pushed myself to design my Yuu for real (instead of just thinking about it) and then everything just snowballed from there. (For context, I began playing TWST in 2020 and, despite being very much in love with it, only began drawing anything for it this year.)
I have such a massive list of ideas that I still want to draw (plus several asks that I want to answer that I just havenāt had the time to yet), so Iām certainly going to be kept busy for a while. After previously making every excuse possible for not drawing, Iāve learned that yeah, once you really love something you will squeeze time out for it no matter how hard things get, because it kills you not to. All those times when I wondered when Iād ever be able to draw as much as my favourite artists now feel like a distant relic of the past, and I have Twisted Wonderland (especially Jamil) and this community to thank for it. If anyone reading this is going through something similar, I promise it gets better - you will need to put in the effort to make it start, but you will get there.
Thereās also my past experiences of being in fandoms that, well, did not welcome yume/self-shipping type content. If I so much as thought of creating any, the fear of being ridiculed would make me back away from the idea immediately. Iām glad to see that sentiment seems to be no longer the norm, but also the TWST fandom has been one of the most supportive of yume content Iāve ever seen. To everyone wanting to participate but has been hesitating, you absolutely should! My only regret is not starting sooner, seriously. In a sense I feel like I'm fulfilling a childhood dream of mine, and all of my past hesitation and anxiety just dissipated once... as cringe as it sounds - once love took over. So go pour your love and passion into that character you adore, they deserve it.
Anyways, wishing everyone a happy holidays and happy new year! Hereās to another year of enjoying TWST and creating for the things we love ā¤
#syder txt#color my tree#also its going to be the year of the snake#which means its jamils year#which means i expect everyone to produce jamil content for the next 365 days /j#dear snake man you will always be special to me#no matter if some day i move on from this fandom

SPOILER WARNING: SONIC 3 MOVIE
So yesterday after dodging spoilers like crazy for the past week I finally managed to see Sonic 3 Movie andā¦ I think I need to talk about one thing that really disappointed me. It's going to contain spoilers.
First of all, I cannot say that I didn't have fun. I've been waiting for this movie so much and the first thing I did after returning home was taking down the poster from Sonic 2 Movie and putting on a poster from Sonic 3 Movie. The second thing I did was take my graphic tablet and immediately drawing a huge fullart for it. Sonic 3 Movie was on my mind the whole day and I still can't stop thinking about it. It WAS fun. But after hearing people talking about how perfect it is I honestly... got a little disappointed- Am I seriously the only person who got the experience kinda ruined by Gerald's character?? I'm gonna be honest, yesterday I wrote the whole rant about it, but didn't upload it, because of some errors. But it was really REALLY negative and I was kinda pissed off. My opinion still didn't change, but I cooled down a bit so I'll keep it short. For me, Gerald was absolutely the worst thing about this movie. He and Robotnik both. I can kinda understand Robotnik acting like a clown, because Robotnik was always crazy, but Gerald? He was never this ridiculous. Thing about Gerald is that he's a tragic character. He was never really a bad person. Just a scientist trying his best to cure his granddaughter who was then literally killed by a military. A child. The dude had every right to be angry. It was understandable he felt vengeful. But the movie made a clown out of him. The jokes/scenes with Gerald and Robotnik were literally so unfunny. Only one joke amused me and it was the one with the 4th wall break. Listen, I get that those movies are for kids. But even Sonic games in their worst family friendly era didn't have jokes that lame... And you know? Fine. I could totally tolerate the jokes. But I'm so pissed off that they didn't stop even in the finale. We got Super Sonic and Super Shadow. We got a damn LIVE AND LEARN. Literally perfect scene right there. Did the creators really had to interrupt it with "funny haha" scene with Gerald spanking Robotnik??? Is it really that difficult to be a bit serious for at least 5 MINUTES?? Not to mention, the movie really tried to claim that Gerald is this evil guy that wants to destroy the world after what happened to Maria. But they made such a goof out of him that it didn't even look as if he even cared about Maria. I just... I had so much hopes for this movie to be "more serious". I noticed myself getting annoyed with some jokes in Sonic 2 movie, but decided that it wasn't that big of a deal. But they went completely overboard in this movie. To the point where I feel like this movie isn't really about Shadow. It's a Jim Carrey movie. After watching it, I feel like Gerald and Robotnik got more spotlight with their unfunny scenes than Shadow did. And it felt like they completely rushed Shadow's backstory too. They literally decided that straight up saying that Shadow's story is painful at the beginning of a movie was a good idea. I just... I don't know what to think. I'm conflicted. This is of course only my opinion. I saw people saying that this movie is perfect in their opinion and people liked Gerald and Robotnik. I'm glad. But in my case, that really disappointed me. Of course, I still had fun with the movie! I could probably make a seperate post with a spoiler warning, talking about things I did enjoy!

DRAGON AGE VEILGUARD SPOILERS AHEAD
Finished veilguard after forty hours (sixty if I include the one I started then quit to change faction and class lol) and it feels ridiculous but I am devastated. ( warning this is long and rambling Iām just very upset)
This is the game I waited ten years for? For them to butcher characters like Solas and Morrigan and make crappy writing decisions that feel like a spiteful slap in the face to returning players? Itās like I was playing a game based on a fanfiction of dragon age.
Not to mention the absolute upheaval of lore established in previous games. Am I seriously expected to believe the entire Qun military just decided to up and leave? And that news of two ancient elven gods didnāt cause any sort of uprising or backlash against the elves? Speaking of elves, two gods from their pantheon they worship are out and about and evil and thereās hardly any reaction? Where are all the agents Solas had in Trespasser? Neve and Harding wake up physically in the fade and arenāt freaking out?
The thing that angers me the most though, is what they did to the south. I cannot believe they thought āhey letās destroy the entire south and render every decision players have made up until this point meaningless!ā and thought this was a good idea. Itās clear the devs want a clean slate for their next game, and man did they do it. May as well have let the blight destroy Fereldan, or let Corypheus win for all the good it did. Iām not even going to get started on Varric.
And that post credit scene. Way to take the nuance and choices away from basically every character and villain up until this point. Surprise! It was actually the evil guys across the sea all along! To me itās the equivalent of writing in primary school and ending the story with āand then they woke upā.
As far as Iām concerned this is not canon. Real canon ended with Inquisition and when the writers who made it what it was left. As someone said on reddit, turns out dragon age without David Gaider isnāt dragon age at all.
Does it feel silly and ridiculous and over the top how upset I am? Yeah, it does. I know itās just a game. I know thereās so much worse in the world. But these games and books have been a massive part of basically half my life now. They helped me get through some of the hardest things Iāve had to face , and were an outlet and escape and it almost feels like part of me. And to have it feel like itās been ruined by writers and devs who donāt care about the players or past games really sucks.
Time to replay the first three and pretend this never happened, and just accept that itāll never be known what happens after Inquisition, unless David Gaider decides to save us from this misery and write a book or something.
(also fyi, not a criticism to those who enjoyed it, Iām glad thereās some people having fun at least )
#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#veilguard critical#veilguard spoilers#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age the veilguard critical#had to get this off my chest#seeing so many people on reddit and tumblr say they feel the same has helped

Itās very interesting that you stopped supporting and talking about Dead Boy Detectives the moment it got canceled, not one post from you trying to help the actual fans save the show, support it coming back, ect nothing. I assumed it was because you and your friends (Lissy, Ashley, Swirly, Madison) finally stopped pretending that you liked it which seems like the case.
Itās just very telling the way you guys were the hype team of the show and instantly stopped talking when you didnāt have to fake it anymore.
As a longtime follower and friend I wish you actually enjoyed the show. Itās unfortunate.
Thank you for taking the time to write. I will now in detail address every single wrong assumption about it and I would simply advise while reading through this to remember that you sent in the ask and I owe to everyone the most honest answer I could possibly muster, thank you. Now, let's break this down assumption by assumption:
We stopped talking about DBD as soon as it got cancelled - that is entirely untrue. Even though, our original fandom is the Sandman we have all made the collective effort to continue talking about the show in the capacity that we wish to. If you indeed were a "friend" you would know I have not stopped showing active support for the cast of the show post cancelation as any normal person ought to.
Not a post to support the show coming back - Yes, and I will not because the show is not coming back. I am an adult. My life does not revolve around entertainment, I have a job and bills to pay. ALSO, the way this campaign to bring back the show is being handled is extremely poor. Several baffling choices are being made that interfere with my ethics and morals, and I have no desire to align myself with such choices. The internet is a free space, so please do continue to support what you wish, but my love for this show is my own and the same goes for my friends.
It appears the remaining supporters of the campaign fail to realise that in terms of numbers, the show DID fail by any and all metrics and are willing to blame everyone about it but the numbers. It is neither my nor my friends' fault that this was the case. We did our utmost best online and irl to promote it but it is also true that we exist in the reality that we exist and harbouring delusions about changing the world is not realistic for me at the big age of 20+. And if I do, those aspirations pertain to much larger issues than a show I absolutely earnestly enjoyed.
Name-dropping my friends is sweet to appear personable but I will reiterate the following point - Lissy, Ash, Swirly (who is no longer social media active at all), Madison and I, WE owe NOTHING to anybody. WE ALL went above and beyond (and still do, iykyk) to support this show. On that point, it is very important to note that bullying me, What's on Netlfix or any other indirect contributor of content as opposed to simply capitalism and Netlfix, is not very mature behaviour and it warrants inner reflection as opposed to outer aggravation.
We WERE the hype team, exactly. I'm glad that you recognise that. We were the most active people trying our utmost best to make sure the show gets renewed. But then again, we are free to return to our special interests, in our case the Sandman.
AND NOW let's talk about why we ACTUALLY stopped talking about it in the way you wish us too - the remaining fraction of the DBD fandom cannot decide whether you want the support of the Sandman fans or not. On one hand, you hold onto us as the bigger fandom that has more 'power' and wants us to help. On the other hand, ever since DBD was cancelled it has been non-stop harassment of Sandman fans - whether it would be spamming under a completely unrelated post, ridiculing the main IP for it 'being next on the chopping board' (which is very funny because we will not have a chopping board, we have one season and our show is wrapped up. The Sandman will be a grand total of 23 episodes it seems like). Like, it's almost as if we are not allowed to simply talk about our interests without aligning it with DBD which has been CANCELLED.
It's over. It's done. It is fucking sad, it is absolutely unfortunate. The Cat King is an extremely important character to me. I, personally, spent months promoting the show at conventions and it breaks my heart that this was a character that was so important to Lukas that he will never get to see through. BUT that's also how show business is- it's unfair and it's dirty and it's not always the way we want it to be.
I also believe that feeding into the delusion of renewal is unhealthy for the very talented cast of the show. You are pulling them back instead of grieving and accepting the circumstances. Allow them to move forward. If you truly LOVE DBD and its cast, you'll support them in their future endeavours without making it about DBD. I know my consciousness is absolutely clean because I have been doing that from the moment the show was cancelled (again, if ykyk).
We loved Dead Boy Detectives but we are adults. There is a large conversation that needs to be had about the way art gets trampled under the unforgiving foot of capitalism, but that will not change the current circumstances. It is an important conversation that I TOO BELIEVE IN. We all do. But I highly doubt, our characters are slandered because we don't wish to align ourselves with a campaign that doesn't align with our values.
I hope you use this as a form of reflection as opposed to a bouncing point for more arguments, because I simply have nothing more to add. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Li

š Wind Breaker Chapter 160: Melting Snow
šTHOUGHTS [ ā ļø SPOILERS ā ļø ]
š§µVersions: Twitter/X šWhere to read the manga: Kodansha | Other šŗWatch Season 1 now (S2 in 04.2025!): Crunchyroll, Netflix
Sorry for posting this late here in tumblr. Life happened. āš»
Such a whirlwind in the first hours after this chapter released. I expected a TogaSaku but instead we got a HiraSako! We all freaked out. This is such a good closureā¦and a peek of whatās to come for all of them.
Yes weāre eating good! More wholesome loaves of bread please, Nii sensei! š
It starts where we left off with our cutie patootie Choji š„¹ the cute aggression is real whenever heās on the page. Heās enjoying himself, chowing down on good food and surrounded with good people. š
Aaand knew it. Of course Sakura went there to thank them. So they saw his beat up face! Sakura is just squirming from all the attention. Heās not used to it. Oh soft baby Sakura. You are loved and adored.
Iām so happy Nii sensei showed this!! I talked about in twitter how Choji is actually trying out fresh Red Bean bread that Umemiya gave him the last time they saw each other. Choji not only get to try it againā¦he bought more food for souvenirs!! Oh my fragile heart!!
If you read the small text, he even told the employees about how he knew about their bakery thanks to Ume-chan. asdfghjkl~ He also told them heāll drop by again next time š
This chapter is really making my heart full because look at how Choji is twirling about~! He's acting more like his age.
But more than that, THIS is one of the best things that came out of the Noroshi fight. Three gang leaders, who were former enemies, now agreeing to be friends! I am hyped up with Nirei on this one. We are witnessing a historic moment! And this is giving us a peek of what will happen in the future chapters.
Oh, Sakura. You care so much for your new home and took one big step that not only helped your found family but caused a great thing to happen.
The way it dawned on Sakura. And the way Tsubaki is looking at his precious kouhai proudly. š„²
And the wholesomeness continues~ Tsubaki was hyping Choji up; he talked about what Mizuki and Momose said. They were praising Chojiās strength, and I find their reactions adorable & hilarious. They're like āoh hell nah im not gonna fight himā
Then Choji shoots an arrow of "Hehe I'm doing this for my friend Ume-chan!" right to our hearts! Arghh I wanna squeeze his baby face!! (ā§āā¦)
And then here's Togame holding his āThatās my buddy Sakura!ā face again (*Ā“āļ½*)
Sakura trying to divert the unwanted attention away from him again after by asking about their other gang members.
The way I laughed when Suo emphasized āHEā meaning Numa and Togame (and Nirei) just knows. Poor guy. š
Oh dear oh dear. We didnāt expect this chapter to become a HiraSako chapter!! And it is giving too much ācāmon! Do it! Go talk to your exā vibe (and y'all know this is not the first time this happened)
Togame and Choji always pushing the agenda. How supportive.
I love how level-headed Kaji is when it comes to this.
And Iām glad heās not a character who would be jealous over it. The three know each other well enough and Kaji never sees it as a competition to be the best kouhai or what not. He wouldnāt reach out to Sako back then if he did.
Gahh how adorable! Hiragiās shook of how polite Sako is towards him. Then having a mini internal crisis.
Sako sees that and finds it hilarious. The embarrassing yet joyous tune carefully breaks the ice between them.
Sako's face in that last panel just makes me think he finds his past self ridiculous now.
Despite how their fight felt so long ago, I'm so glad weāre seeing this talk. Sako wanted so badly for Hiragi to be the one telling him he needs him but never got it. He couldāve just followed him anyway but I guess he thought Hiragiās words meant he doesnāt need him.
He wanted to prove how wrong Hiragi was by joining Shishitoren and become strong enough to beat him one day. Welp. Since their fight, Sako mustāve wanted to hit himself for being such an idiot.
i feel like Inugami was kinda inspired by what happened in the Shishitoren fight that he was able to face his senpai. And Sako got to see the āwhat ifsā if he did the same thing back then to Hiragi. If he just denies what Hiragi told him and said "It doesn't matter. I will continue to follow you"
No wonder Inugamiās been sticking with Sako since then. The fact he knows his senpais's past tells how close they are.
I really wondered what went down with Shishitoren after their fight with Bofurin. As expected, there were scuffles within the group here & there. Surely, some left. Choji & Togame have to be strong enough to face such hurdles after what theyāve done. But look at them now.
Because they cared so much for their group and have each other to help through those trying times that they were able to reform Shishitoren the way it is now. What a domino effect.
Sako became inspired himself to face his own mistakes as well. And it led to this.
That āAaaah finallyā panelā¦I really felt that. Relief to finally apologize after holding unto bad feelings for so long. Relief to finally mend their friendship. I freakin' teared up. This manga argh!
And of course they were interrupted! Ah, I wanted to hear what Hiragi has to say to Sako, but I think we get the idea, judging by those soft eyes gazing at his kouhai.
Looking at the panel wit both Sako's Shishitoren friends and Hiragi's Bofurin kouhais, it's another glimpse of what we will see more in the future. A unity and camaraderie of different gangs.
Thank you for reading! š

It's been a crazy day with all sorts of busyness, but I wanted to take a moment to wish all of you a happy holiday. I have felt extra in the spirit of the season this year--baking cookies, decorating the house, wrapping presents, putting a festive candy cane clip in my hair--and it's been so easy to get caught up in the rush of it all, in that festive feeling of coziness and warmth.
But I also know that this can be a very difficult time for folks. The perpetual (and at times, forced) cheeriness becomes a source of sadness instead of joy, pain instead of comfort. Today, some people are feeling loss and grief--a sense of emptiness and absence on what is often seen as one of "fullest" days of the year.
So this is me saying that I am glad you're here, and I hope things will be better soon, and that this day leaves you better than it did when it started. Wishing each and every one of you peace this holiday season. Merry Christmas! šā¤ļø
#personal post#christmas#i am just glad that people are enjoying my ridiculous posts#and i really hope you all had a wonderful Christmas#and happy hanukkah as well to those who celebrate#kindness matters#at this time of year and always#thank you all you lovely people for being here#<3

Just a little venting post. š„
I had this post wrote out but tumblr crashed and didnāt save itā¦
Rocket has helped me allot. I feel as if I have grown a personal connection with this character, and I donāt ever intend on letting someone take away things that make me happy. It was natural how I fell in love with this character, and I donāt think a character has made me feel safe before like this. I donāt claim to know everything about Marvel. I only know GOTG, Dead Pool, and ofc the Avengers movies. I am so glad to be apart of a few wonderful communities, and have felt so much welcomed by them with open minds and hearts. You really donāt need to know everything to love something.ā¤ļø
I have had someone tell me before I canāt write Rocket as gay? Like, excuse me, but who are you to decide what I can and canāt write about? What I can and donāt headcanon? Kinda the whole point of fan-fiction. If you donāt like it, donāt read it. It isnāt for you. Itās for myself and those who may enjoy it. I donāt appreciate someone trying to tell me this or that canāt happen and the only excuse you are going to give me is something ridiculous.
Thatās like telling someone they canāt draw Cinderella in a Juicy tracksuit dancing around with Edward Cullen from Twilight?
People are entitled to be creative in their own way and do things that make them happy or because they love/enjoy it.
I do what I do because I love it. I love Rocket. I love to write about him. He is a safe space for me. I donāt have to have a canon that fits the comic universe or MCU. You donāt have to be some novelist writer either to write fan-fiction either. You donāt own that character, so donāt tell me what I can and canāt write about. Itās a toxicity I refuse to put up with. People are going to do what makes them happy. If you canāt be respectful, you can leave it at the doorstep. So keep that nasty energy else where or to yourself. Especially if you want to be homophobic. Itās not that deep.
I want my Tumblr to be a safe space for me. If you happen to enjoy it; then thank you, and I am glad! But I refuse to let toxic people in my life and try to walk on me.

seeing people's takes about the whole watcher situation is just a bit.... mind-boggling.
i think the apology they posted was good in the sense that they admitted to fucking up and walked back on their decision, and i think the model they've settled on now is a lot more reasonable (having content be released earlier for those who choose to subscribe), but like.... that doesn't mean that no one should've ever been mad at them in the first place???
like seriously, why does it seem like people are looking at a "good" apology and thinking "huh! they sure did apologize well! i guess that means that it was ridiculous for people to be mad in the first place! no one should have ever complained!!". if no one complained, they wouldnt have walked back their decision! they would've kept going with their dumb completely paywalled option!
and thats not even getting into the fact that their financial woes seem to come from completely mismanaging their money - hiring people when they can not afford to and spending more money on "high quality productions" when they cant afford to.... these are core issues that im not sure will be completely fixed by this? but idk.
also, this situation i think has really helped my own self come to terms with the fact that i do not enjoy many aspects of their content. i sorta already knew that considering i can not remember the last ghost files video i watched because i find that shit incredibly boring and overproduced, and even things like too many spirits have become a chore to watch bc they decided to extend the Not That Funny drink making portion when i just wanna hear some funny spooky stories.
anyway i guess my ultimate point here is: im glad they acknowledged they fucked up, but i also am not sure how interested i am in their content anymore in the first place. oh well
#watcher#i still personally dont know if i would call them 'greedy' for their original choice#for the record: i dont think the three of them are struggling at all lmao#they clearly are living pretty well off#but i do think that watcher as a company really has been struggling bc of their awful business decisions#so i DO think they needed to change SOMETHING#its just.... yknow maybe next time just fucking ask ur audience about the routes ur considering taking#rather than just surprising everyone with a 'whoops! its all paywalled now!!'#im really not sure how to articulate my feelings bc i just constantly feel confused at the way i see others act online#like seeing people yell at others for being 'too parasocial' in the sense of people feeling betrayed and upset by their choices#when those same people are being incredibly parasocial themselves by defending these three like their lives depend on it#these are not starving artists. they are the owners of a business. a ceo. i think its fair for ppl to critique them in that sense#and to point out things like hiring more staff than they can afford#and spending more money on production than is arguably necessary#even if it is part of their 'artistic vision'

Ahem
I do need to get this off my chest. Do not worry, unlike my other vents, this one will not be nearly as dark or so. Needless to say however, I'll add the text under the break.
Ahem.
Making this account and interacting with you all, has been the most fun I had in a while. And I would love to pump content after content.
But see....something worries me. And for that, I need to tell you a story.
I mentioned on this account tons of times that I used to be in the Danganronpa Instagram community. Maybe you do know my old name Izumeno from there. Maybe we interacted there before. It does not matter much now.
Point is, I did on this old insta acc similar stuff as to here. I would post day after day and all, in order to enjoy myself. Things were good.
...well, almost.
What you need to know about my account and DR insta in general, is that many of them are kinnsta account. You probably seen them at some point. Colorful aesthetic theme with a character and lighthearted post. Pretty harmless, on its own.
The problems began with the DNI lists. Now, they contained stuff that was obviously problematic, but also certain ships and all. Ships like Kirizono for an instance. This made me nervous all the time, what to share on my acc ship wise.
Not only that, but I had people cut ties with me thanks for me liking a certain ship. (No, it wasnt any incest or p3do-related, dw). I was also blocked once for interacting with someone, who made content that I enjoyed (Posting Tsumugi x Himiko content). This made me extremely nervous and all, to share my true interests:. I was walking on eggshells, figuratively.
Another thing to know, is that the fandom tend to do callout posts. Now don't get me wrong. Callout posts are sometimes necessary, to prevent predatory behavior and spread awareness. However, sometimes the call out posts were just outright unecessary, like "Why you shouldn't support this fangan." The fangan in particurlar was heavily flawed and problematic, but it wasn't necessary to make an entire call out post of that.
All that stress forced me eventually, to go on a hiatus. A big one. That was two years ago and due to me perceiving the fandom, as what the progressive queer people were like, I was filled with rage. Slipped into the far-right. Became anti-woke. Spread hatred. Stuff that I am deeply ashamed of till this day. Now thankfully, this is in the past and I've matured and grown.
Problem is, whenever I post here, I get remembered of that time in the fandom. I worry that I will get sucked into that phase back and get hurt again. Now I know that this is ridiculous and irrational. Nowadays, I touch grass way more often and I've learned from my mistakes. Alas, fear is irrational.
I am even surprised, at how open I am here. If I shared my interests in the dr insta fandom, they would have marched to my house (figuratively speaking). I am glad I found a safe space though, for the time being at least. It's just the past haunting me that's all and I am grateful for all of your support.
I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. I will stay here and will enjoy the fandom here, which is much more chill. I will be as transparent about myself as possible and hopefully find a way to enjoy posting again, like I used to.
Thanks for reading. ^^

Petty Crimes
Synopsis: Wriothesley just can't seem to get a certain journalist off his back. But to his surprise this journalist is very thorough with their work and it seems they aren't willing to give up just yet.
CW: -
HC: Reader is gender-neutral and uses They/Them pronouns, Reader does not have a vision. Reader is a journalist working at The Steambird.
Characters: Wriothesley, Sigewenne, Mentions of Neuvillette,Furina, Traveler and Paimon
Note: Ok, I promise I'm writing the Neuvillette one, it just is much longer than I expected so I apologise for that. Instead have this one which is shorter but I am still proud of it. I love Wriothesley's design and attacks and LORE but had to skip the banner because I wanted Furina so badly. So think of this as me coping with that. There are going to be some Fontaine spoilers but honestly, it is so little I don't think most people would notice it. As always please make sure to interact with the post, I love seeing the tags or comments I get in the posts, and I'm glad people like my silly ideas about characters I like. Enjoy!
The first time you ended up in the prison was by accident. You just happened to be with a kamera at the wrong place and time and ended up being accused as a stalker. Since the judgment was decided by the Iudex and the court now, the easiest solution was to throw you in prison until the actual perpetrator had come to light. At the time you were cussing and throwing hands with the guards but the minute the Duke came into your vision you couldnāt help but halt.
You couldnāt believe it, this was every Steambird employeeās dream. To be able to meet the Duke and have a proper interview with him would reach the headlines in an instant. However, to no oneās surprise, he had rejected your proposition. Before you could make any more moves to convince him, the actual culprit was found with the help of the traveller and his flying partner and you were forced to say goodbye to the Fortress of Meropide. Just like you had entered, you were kicking and screaming when they threw you out.
So you had to make a plan to somehow enter back inside. Being an esteemed journalist at The Steambird, it was no surprise they refused to let you in and casually stay in the prison. Most criminals tend to stay there even after their term is over but you didnāt have an actual reason to be there. But if you wanted to get a scoop before Charlotte could beat you to it, you needed to take some desperate measures.
- - -
āSo, you were sentenced to 30 days in the Fortress of Meropide for taking a picture of Lady Furina while she was chasing her hat that was blown away by the wind?ā Wriothesley could only raise an eyebrow at the statement. It wasnāt a surprise that some people ended up here for ridiculous reasons, but the amount that you had accumulated over one year was just unbelievable.
There was the time you decided to release a bunch of birds inside the Opera Epicles. It wouldnāt have been an issue to get them out, but somehow you managed to train them so they could coordinate their movements to somehow re-enter the Opera Epicles after they were thrown out.
Then there was the time you filled all the water fountains in the district with Fonta and to this day people still cannot figure out how you got your hands on such a large shipment without any suspicions arising.
To put it simply, the list was endless and at this point, you had probably been in and out of jail more than any citizen he had met. He honestly would not have cared the slightest about you if it wasnāt the fact HE was the reason you were acting like this.
You beamed at him in glee, notebook and pen ready in your hands. He could also see the kamera peaking out of your satchel, probably filled with a brand new film. He tried not to scowl. He couldnāt help but be a bit annoyed by your persistence.
āYou know with a track record like this, everything you have done up to now is going to sound more interesting than whatever comes out of my mouth.ā He sighed, dropping the papers onto his desk and to no oneās surprise, you immediately began to write down everything he said.
āMaybe for another journalist, but what point is it for me to write about my own stories? I write scoop about celebrities, not my memoirs. ā You answer, pen on your chin trying to figure out which category his statements could fit.
Wriothesley could only sigh. Every time he did all he could remember was Sigewinneās words.
ā Donāt sigh too much, youāre going to end up sighing away all your happiness!ā
It was a shame he couldnāt keep his promise, but honestly, the only one he could blame was the columnist who sat right across him. ā I am no celebrity. My answer remains unchanged. No interview.ā He reached over for his cup of tea, which had turned cold at this point. He didnāt realise that time had passed so suddenly. It seemed you were just capable of taking over a personās life just like that.
He tried to stand up to make a new cup only for you to halt him. āOh did your tea get cold? Sorry, let me make you one.ā Before he could react you already took his cup and made your way to the kettle. He blinked in confusion before settling back into his chair. āAre you even sure you can make it right?ā He decided to humour both you and himself. He knew you were just trying to suck up to him so he might change his mind, he wasnāt dumb though. Maybe he could use it to his advantage and kick you out of his office. As he tried to wrack up another reason to kick you back outside, a fresh new cup of tea was placed before him.
And it was perfect.
The tea was infused almost too well. It was pure black with no random additives that Sigewinne insisted were better for his health. No sugar, creamer or milk. There werenāt even any tea leaves left in the brew.
He took a sip, surprised with how it wasnāt boiling since you had just prepared it. A suitable warmth reached his lips as he took a sip of it. He had to stop himself before he could chug it down. He wasnāt an animal, he knew proper tea etiquette.
āAre you a fan of tea, Journalist?ā He asked unconsciously. He wished he had shut his mouth, you already write down everything that comes out of his mouth and he didnāt need to give you any more leverage. To his surprise, you didnāt immediately go and reach for your notebook once again.
Instead for once, you looked away from him, refusing to meet his eyes. āI do partake in tea sometimes but I wouldnāt say itās my favourite. I prefer sugary drinks usually.ā You answer, sheepishly brushing your hands together, continuing to look away. Wriothesley squinted at you, unsure whether you were acting shy due to embarrassment or because you were a bad liar. āThis tea is steeped far too well for you to be saying that.ā
You almost immediately beamed up, your shy demeanour leaving in an instant. āOh! Thatās because I learnt how you liked to brew your tea!ā Your eyes reached his and he wondered if you realized what you had just admitted to.
āIsnāt it a bit suspicious you know that?ā He asked, taking another sip, it was certainly good tea. You again turned embarrassed. āWell, you tend to pick up some things when you stay around a certain place often.ā
āOh?ā His curiosity getting the better of him, leaned towards the desk to fully take you in. āPlease do tell me what you have collected thus far.ā
āWell, a journalist canāt show everything they have gathered, unless itās properly published.ā You mumble, trying to slowly back away from his desk. For once you were trying to get away rather than him trying to get rid of you. It intrigued him a bit, what else were you hiding? āWell, unless you do have permission, I doubt you will be going around publishing articles. That is unless you were a scandalous reporter?ā
He was shocked to see how wide your eyes grew, for once your usual reporter nature had gone from your face, now looking like any normal citizen living in Fontaine. āI would never! It is unethical!ā You defended yourself, you would never dare to publish articles without peopleās permission. āThen you wouldnāt mind me reviewing what you have unless you have something to hide?ā
And that was how Wriothesley ended up with all your documents, which were now scattered on the desk alongside your prison testaments. You only handed him the documents relating to him but he was surprised to see that you have accumulated quite a number of them. It made him wonder why even bother with an interview if you already had so much knowledge about him.
āThis is everything? You have been working hard it seems.ā He said. His teacup was now empty, but he needed a new brew if he had to sit all day just to read through everything that was left. You had already collected his entire existence on these papers. His best and his worst moments.
āYou know, now Iām starting to doubt that your first imprisonment was a mistake.ā He chuckled to himself, which only made you feel red hot with embarrassment. āThis is all public knowledge. Sure some were a bit harder to find but if you know what youāre looking for it gets easierā You mumble, fidgeting with your hands. He wondered why you were so embarrassed.
Everything written here was all about him, but you acted as if you were the one on full display. He continued to flip through what you had written. The words you had articulated were quite intriguing, if you did write a scoop about him he was certain he would have had his nose in the papers as well. All your points had thorough evidence with the times and dates it was recorded. There was even certain information he completely forgot about himself.
āYou know, with such extensive research you have done, you can pretty much write a whole article about me. Hell, you could even fake an interview with me and I would honestly think I did an interview with you and forgot about it.ā He said, placing down your work on the desk once more so he could fully take you in.
He wasnāt one to pay attention to the little details if he wasnāt interested but when he took another look at you, it felt as if he was seeing a completely new person. Your notebook was tucked into the little front pocket of your shirt, and he could see scratches and marks on the visible part that stuck out. Some corners of the pages were dog-eared while others had little sticky tabs poking out from them. Your pen was now tucked behind your ear, it was blue, the colour that usually was smudged on the palm of your hands which you were currently fiddling with. Lastly, your Kamera, the film may have been brand new but the Kamera was fairly old, a dent was visible on the top and he could see a sticker of a Melusine on its side, the same one he would see stuck on his gauntlets from time to time.
You suddenly didnāt seem like the annoying tenacious reporter on his back. You were a journalist, a writer. You had something you wanted to work on. A passion which seemed to exceed expectations. You were not worried to ask questions over and over until you got an answer but you were embarrassed to showcase your work, afraid of the judgment that others give.
āYou know you donāt need to have an interview with me? You can just write whatever it is here and get it done.ā He answered, collecting all your research together to hand it back to you.
You shook your head, sighing. You finally turned to look at him. The prison was not known for its lighting but the way the light reflected onto your eyes made it shine with a passion he couldnāt seem to grasp. It almost distracted him from your words.
āIt isnāt the same. I want it to be authentic. All of this-ā You pointed at your work, which was a full stack at this point. ā was just from the āgrapevineā as some may say. I want to hear about your experiences and thoughts from you.ā
He thought about your words. It bounced in the walls of his head, like an unstoppable echo. No one up to this point had ever bothered to go directly to him to ask about certain things. It was always the rumours.
The Duke bought his title.
The Duke would snap your neck if you looked at him wrong.
The Duke is under a permanent sentence in the Fortress of Meropide.
And here you were, asking him directly, even though everything written in your documents was fully true with proof, whether he could give some time of his day just to ask the same questions all these papers could answer.
He could only chuckle, one that wasnāt in a joking tone. āYou like me quite a lot donāt you, Journalist?ā
He watched as your sincere reporter's face morphed into what he could only describe as pure embarrassment. He was only shocked with his words but your expression completely delayed his bashful reaction. Instead, he smirked, a bit satisfied for once you werenāt on your high horse.
You grabbed the documents, stuffing them into your satchel and shutting it so quickly he could hear how crumpled they were getting.
āWell, it seems since you arenāt willing to do an interview today Iāll come again another time.ā You almost yell, trying your best to close your bag so none of the papers would slip out.
āYouāre right, arenāt you glad you have more than 30 days to ask me again?ā He retorted, only to see your eyes grow wider. He was certain if he could touch your face, it would have been burning up with how much blood had rushed to your face.
Before anything else could have been said, you turned around rushing yourself out the door. He watched as you scattered down the stairs, making sure not to fall before finally hearing the door shut loudly, the metal clamps echoing in his office. However not a second later the door hinges squeaked once more, and you peeked your head a bit from the staircase.
āUm, goodbye, for now, Sir.ā
And with that you rushed back down once more, door shutting as loud as it did the first time you left. And Wriothesley could only laugh, he wasnāt sure if he had laughed so much before his entire life. Who would have thought that the pure journalist might have a slight crush on him? It intrigued him a bit.
You were here but the only proof of your essence was in your prison statements and the teacup which you brewed tea for him. You were careful not to leave any of your documents or items around, it prevented Wriothesley from coming after you because technically he had nothing to hold against you.
However, he knew he probably would not be able to see you for some time unless you finally got the courage to come to him again. He fiddled with the empty teacup once more. Well, who knows, maybe he would finally come around to doing that interview with you, perhaps he will answer one question at a time while you brew him another cup or for a change of pace he could brew a cup for you instead. You would like sugar in yours, wouldn't you?
It seemed now he had to do his little research on you and maybe, just like you, be a little petty just to be able to see you every day during your 30-day prison sentence.

Hi hi! I'm going to answer a couple of different video based asks all in one post because they all follow a similar theme~!
EDIT EDIT: I realized that no one could actually access the links because I took screenshots and added links to the video following each ask!
[VIDEO]
Oh yes! It was one of the first videos I watched when I decided to be brave and finally join the fandom! I remember really liking it, though I don't remember the video contents itself well...!
:cues up for a rewatch:
Heh! Heehee! It's still quite a lot of fun! Years later, I can notice clearly now that this video relies very strongly on what I understand is a controversial/outdated interpretation of Void lore based on the EN translation which is...well, it's the Star Allies English Translation... (As for the details of WHAT it got wrong, o~hhh, I'm not going to get into the Void stuff ~ You'll have to go to other Kirblrs for that! I'm too busy with fixating on my personal blorbos! XD ) However! The end bit about who Kirby is and what Kirby represents? That part of the video remains golden and is something I am 100% in agreement with!
Edit: I realize now you said "videos" and if they're the ones I'm thinking of, then I think I did watch the whole series back then and enjoyed it very much! Sorry for not giving my modern day thoughts on them individually. I didn't want to make you wait too long on this!
[VIDEO]
AH! I just saw this one a few months ago and YES! Yes yes yes! Ohhh, yessss! I agree! It's funny to watch this one back to back with Designing For's video about how the early games were kind of empty fluff compared to the lore-heavy Kumazaki era when Star Warper highlights one of my FAVORITE things that's been gone for so long!!
...I would be SO happy if they focused more on this kind of "natural" world building and character exploration. I suppose, if I have one criticism of Kumazaki, it's that he maybe TOO MUCH of a writer? It's okay to focus where he specializes in, and he's really good at it, but I hope that Star Allies "micro cutscenes" mean we might get them back in a new title, rather than a "last nod" to Kirby history...
This reminds me, I never did anything with this (got swept under by RL) but I came away from this video thinking that I would LOVE to make a series of cutscene animations for the games that don't have them! Just imagine what silly things Kirby or the rest of the characters are getting up to before handing the action back to you!
(Gosh... I don't think I have the experience necessary for this but... with all these collabs, I wonder if anyone would be interested in forming up a collab to make cutscenes for the games that don't have them? I don't know if there's that many animators in the fandom, maybe splash images would be enough? ...Interesting thought?)
But one last enthusiastic yes! As an outspoken fan of, "Show us the daily life of the people in Dream Land PLEASE" this video speaks to me. And I'm glad others feel this way!
[VIDEO]
I KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE CAKE SCENE! I LOVE THE CAKE SCENE! Honestly, I don't know anyone who doesn't just burst into kittens when faced with the cake scene...! It's so cute...! vvv
Speaking of the 25th Anniversary Concert, I have to share my other favorite moment and unfortunately I can't find the full video to refresh my memory (...pulled down for copyright, maybe?) but there was one silly moment when they asked Kirby how old he was, like HIM not the series, and he's like "...I'm 25! ^o^" and of course, it's silly and ridiculous and everyone laughed and for those fans who see Kirby as a very young child, it is just the picture of a child being silly and saying whatever but...as someone who always saw Kirby as growing up with me, I beamed a little with pride? XD
And I think that's the way it should be, maybe? The things Kirby says can be as interpretable as Kirby themselves! ...Reminds me of another quote from Kumazaki that he didn't want Kirby speaking (in Japanese) in the globally streamed 30th Anniversary concert as they did in the 25th because he wanted everyone across the globe to "understand Kirby equally." That if he talked in just one language, a limited number of people would understand him, and everyone should be able to see themselves in Kirby!
It was a very sweet gesture - even though I myself missed hearing Kirby talk in Japanese! Ahh well, at least I'm surrendering my bilingual priviledge card for a good reason! XD
[VIDEO]
OH! Ni~ce find, Anon!
I've seen the fan animation of the phone skit and one more but I was wondering where I might find the rest...! Thank you, video anon!
These are soo~ooo cute! And you're so right! Kawata-san's Kirby really is perfect! I say that feeling the same way about Oomoto-san's Kirby too though...! They're all perfect! This kind of voice (and short skit style) would be perfect for a series of official shorts imo! The kind of ones that occasionally get released on Twitter and the like. (Not that I don't already love the animations made by Courtesy!)
And ahhhh, it's so nice to hear Kirby speak full sentences too~ I really, really enjoy this interpretation of Kirby! I can't believe it's from as far back as 1994! Amazing! Truly amazing!
-
Thank you, anon(s) for the fun video links! And I hope everyone has fun watching them too if you're not familiar with everything listed here! If you ask me, everything here is worth a listen!

hello friends, i am here to follow scoopsā idea, and other writers, in ranking my own fics from least favorite to my absolute favorite. sex-mas isnāt in here because shiv and i co-wrote it, but go check it out!
iāve also been writing a lot behind the scenes. i have so many wips in progress but im excited to share those with yāall in 2025!! also just so everyone knows, im so shook by how much i wrote this year?? didnāt i take a break? like multiple breaks? how did i write 20 fics, plus literally 19 wips? i donāt know. i really donāt. so sorry this is long!!
in last place, 20th: wrong costume. i actually had fun writing this fic! it was just like, a little insane and i was laughing the entire time i wrote it. definitely just a fun little thing i wrote for halloween season while learning to love writing again.
19th: a new meaning to halloween. this was cute! i had fun writing this one too, but it was just a short thing i ended up throwing together for halloween again. i donāt dislike it at all, actually i really like it, but i wrote so many fics this year that were very meaningful to me so thatās why this is at the caboose. dnf mpreg and gender reveals are always fun to write though.
18th: teach me. listen, i know a lot of people loved this fic and it has a special place in my heart, but itās not my favorite. i was pushing myself to write it and post it while going through some stuff, and my writing has changed a lot since then. this fic was based on a real life excel sheet shiver shared with me that she was sending tinder men, btw. yes, you read that correctly. shiver canon.
17th: take control. this was just fun to write inspired by dnf being in minecraft lol. this was the first time since like, january, that i wrote smut and it wasnāt so extremely painful. it was finally fun again to write it and i wasnāt having to push myself to do it.
16th: gift a kiss. dreamās birthday fic. i wrote this super last minute but it was still really fun to write!
15th: first times. another one i liked writing, inspired by the hurricane. i wrote this so fast itās a little ridiculous tbh but i like the final version i posted. i loved watching dreamās hurricane stream lol
14th: same day, different george. this was cute and i enjoyed writing something for the little anniversary. canāt believe george has been in florida this long already!
13th: fear. this fic has a special place in my heart. it was personal in a way that most things arenāt for me, and i was terrified to post it so i kept it off twitter & whatnot but im proud of how it came out in the end.
12th: life is a hardship. another one that was really personal and close to the heart. learning a lot about self care and love this year, and i know these types of fics arenāt everyoneās cup of tea, but those who do like them seem to relate and find comfort in them which means a lot.
11th: itās just hair. idk why i enjoyed this one so much. i think i just liked writing the dnf dynamic in this one and playing around with the idea of dreamās haircut to cope with the loss of curls, however i do like his hair now lol. it was just a shock before
10th: embrace the differences. this fic was just so out of my comfort zone i canāt believe i even got this idea out of the āideaā phase lol. it was a bit hard for me to finish but once i got into the groove, it was cool to play with it. i almost always write canon divergent so this was completely different and iād love to try something like it again!
9th: itās not a wedding. i donāt know why this was so hard to write but this took me so, so long but the end product was something i enjoyed. definitely fun to get started and i was glad to persevere on it, even though i was frustrated at the end.
8th: drowning. i just hold this this fic close to my heart. it was the first thing i wrote in second pov and again, not everyoneās taste, but something about writing in second pov makes it feel more personal to me and it was nice to switch it up. at this point, i was very unmotivated and the pov change made writing something i wanted to do again.
7th: label-less. not tons of aroace representation in fics so i thought it would be nice to give it some rep, especially because we all kind of have different views and experiences with it. iām pretty open about my sexuality here but this was the first time i really wrote about it and it just kind of felt freeing, and during pride month!
6th: love big, love easy. hurt my heart in the way i love when angst hurts my heart to write. got to bring in old lore and stuff to play around.
5th: football BINGO. this was inspired by a tweet and that tik tok trend going around. top tier excitement and joy when writing this, just complete fluff which isnāt usual for me but i enjoyed this one for sure!
4th: going through the motions. this was the first thing i wrote and posted after all the drama in january, and march. it was also the first thing i really wrote and posted that was so personal, which was terrifying, but everyone was extremely kind to me about it and im proud that i took the risk to post it.
3rd: comeback, baby. literally so much fun to write. i had started this a million years ago and then georgeās birthday stream ended up being so dnf insane that i ended up speedrunning the last 10k of it in less than a day. awesome stream and dream is insane for saying he was going to impregnate george. thatās all.
2nd: erase. this fic is just so personal and so different from my usual stuff. itās not something many people read and thatās totally okay, but the people that did read it seemed to really be impacted by it and thatās all i could ever ask when anyone reads my fics. especially ones like this one.
and at number 1, surprise (not), is love you always. as many of you know, i decided to post this fic after my grandfather passed. this fic means the world to me and i recently just lost my grandma as well. iām really hard on myself about pretty much everything but im truly proud of this fic. everything about posting this sucked and it really fucked me up, but it was worth the impact it made on others & how proud i am of it.
