#i don't know the courtesy for tagging ship stuff...

vaguely a scene from A Reunion of Souls by thornedwritings

[deadbeatbirdmom]

Happy Valentine's Day my fellow RWBY fans. This should be a day focused on love. Which is why I'm going to talk about something that's been troubling me for a while. This isn't about any single post, and I'm not singling anyone out. I'd put this under a read more cut but I think it's important enough not to do that. Scroll down for TLDR and a poll.

One of the common courtesies of tumblr etiquette is: don't tag hate with things like a ship tag or character tag. Or should be common, but let's face it, it's more like uncommon.

A good chunk of tumblr users who I end up blocking are those who post hate in tags like the 'Bumbleby' tag, or 'Yang Xiao Long' tag (it'd be the 'RWBY' tag too, but I don't often go there and rarely post in it). No, it's not toxic to block people, it's how you control your tumblr experience. It's how I avoid seeing hate, or try to.

But there are some tumblr users who I don't want to block but also end up putting hate in the tags: some of my fellow fans. It's not intended the same way as those who do it out of spite, but the end result is the same: your fellow fans end up seeing stuff they might prefer not to.

There's another rule, an old one that predates tumblr: don't feed the trolls. Don't give them attention. Please delete anon hate rather than answer it, although I definitely understand how trolling trolls can be fun. Just please don't tag it with the main tags or you'll do the anon's work for them if it's hate about a ship or character.

I see all too much fan art around that gets far less engagement than posts trying to fight back against hate (and unfortunately share the hate at the same time, especially when it's something from elsewhere like reddit or twitter). If you like the art, don't only hit that heart button, reblog it too!

RWBY fandom isn't dead, but we do need to do our part to encourage artists to make and share more art. Likes alone don't help the art get in front of more fans. I don't think everyone looks in the tags to find art, some will rely on those they follow reblogging art. This goes for sharing fic too! And giving fic writers comments (and kudos on AO3).

This is an appeal to keep negativity out of the main tags. I'm not saying you can't post whatever you want, just when it comes to tagging: please spare a thought for your fellow fans who are incredibly tired of negativity. If all else fails, maybe include a tag that can be added to filters? 'Wasps' for posts about Bumbleby hate, maybe?

I don't know about anyone else, but if I wanted to see hate and get angry, I'd be on twitter or reddit. I check tags here on tumblr to find fan art, and to see fellow fans talking about how much they love RWBY and its characters and ships, and find interesting theories and analysis.

I'm also not entirely sure how tumblr works with followed tags and words mentioned in posts. Do untagged posts still show up if the word appears in the post? Does that mean breaking the word with a backslash or something to avoid it showing up? I don't know, perhaps something to consider.

TLDR: please don't feed the trolls and don't tag hate with main tags. Show RWBY fan artists and fic writers some love and reblog their posts, and comment on fics!

One last thing: a poll to find out if I'm an outlier and posting hate is actually normal in this post-twitter world.

[ask-the-pickles]

Yooo we're The Pickles!! You probably know us from the sick championship games!!! The season is done now and we're like... mega BORED without softball.

Somehow Rochelle decided to open up this ask blog thing. Whatever. This will go on until the next softball season. Maybe. Oh also, Rochelle made Laurie the "manager" so she's watching me type this over my shoulder. Ugh.

Ask us questions. Or don't. I don't care.

(ooc and general stuff under the cut, please read)

This blog is a POST CANON ask blog! This means that the blog takes place AFTER the events of the show!! Spoilers may be untagged, your discretion is advised!

PG-13 asks only please! NSFW/explicit asks will be ignored and deleted.

Every character has a sign-off that'll be first in the tags! That way, you can sort by character specific asks if you so desire. (Courtesy of @kiitsumiie for helping me)

My main blog is @owiepip if you wanna follow. (I don't really post much and only reblog)

I'm a multishipper, go crazy with ship asks in the box and the plot might go with it.

Hello again!!

Hi! I used to have this blog years ago. I post fics under the same name on AO3. It's been years, and I've grown as a writer since, but I've largely been offline and out of touch with the Silmarillion fandom. I do not remember the who's-who or what the current tag conventions are, so forgive me!

I only write nsfw content on this account. All of it, here, is very "dead dove do not eat." I put the lighter stuff mainly into my poetry posts (separate platform, sorry!). Under this account, though, I write fandom, and my content is a bit more trigger-warning in relevance. I will give fair warning of that. This is not for everyone and I understand why. I have my own personal history and perspective on my subject matter, but need not discuss it at this time. I may discuss it at another. I enjoy using my trauma as aid to my storytelling, and my storytelling as an outlet.

My primary Archive of Our Own works are:

(Again, they're old! Don't judge me! This is for if your recognize the titles!)

"Banquet": 2018. Maedhros x Sauron. One chapter. Dinner table. Content is not a pleasant interaction.

"Unfavorable Encounters." 2018-2024. Maedhros x Sauron and other creatures of Angband. Two chapters so far- a troll and a tentacle-thing. The title should imply some content. Work in progress. Several more chapters on the way.

"Ash and Change." 2018. Maedhros copes with a post-Angband outlook on life. Depictions of trauma and PTSD in sexuality. One chapter.

"My King." 2019. Maedhros x Fingon. A Russingon ship fic, from the older days of the Silmarillion fandom.

I do not think I can return wholly to the fandom or tumblr as a daily occurrence. However, I have continued to write and do wish I could publish and share it. I do not know if this content still has an audience in the Silmarillion fandom. Do forgive me if I mis-tag my work or courtesy here.

If there is audience still, I will continue to publish.

I have drafts of a Melkor/Mairon x Maigon fic.

I have considered a Thuringwethil x Elven Women fic, styled after the concept of Dracula's brides

I do have plans to continue posting in-Angband Maedhros x Sauron. Many people suggested to me "werewolf" from years ago and I have not finished it yet, but will.

Thank you! Please feel free to send me feedback or suggestions. I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Caard-Esque:

Blog is 21+ for content concerns and mun is 25+ (an old) and will not interact with minors on this blog. minors should technically not follow me here either ~ so, don'tttttt...do that? thanks! if i catch you, you're yeeted to the shadow realm.

Do not follow this blog if you are sensitive to the sensitive topics related to this particular genre. I tag with "content word cw" for the extra wild stuff, but that's about it. adam literally has the highest swear/slur count in the show and he's only in 3 episodes, so be aware of that.

I tend to be private/selective as i get fairly overwhelmed with too much activity. i really get into plots though, and i'll spam the dash with some silly original dick chauvinism from time to time when ive fed my inner gremlins past midnight. That said, I do get easily overwhelmed when I'm following too many people and multi muse blogs in particular can exacerbate this feeling, so if I do not follow back - I might just not be in a good place to atm or I just don't see possible interactions btw our characters. It's nothing personal!

This is a mutuals only interaction blog for my sanity (anons being fine). If i can see plots happening between us, I'll likely follow. but i get overwhelmed easily so please don't take it personally if i don't follow back or follow back right away.

I am not exclusive, but I prioritize my plotted threads and may have some mains/activity based off that as far as my main verse goes. But I will never be fully exclusive and i enjoy exploring different character dynamics. Also multi-ship is fine, but I am not exclusively here to ship or write suggestive content. My muses have always and will always require plotting and scene chemistry for me to consider writing ship material. In the case I do reblog shippy prompts still feel free to send in ofc! I'll see if I can make it work or not.

If I don't get a follow back within a week or two, if blogs i follow go inactive for up to 12 weeks, or if there's just no attempt on either of our ends to connect for an indefinite amount of time - I'll occasionally go through my list and soft block to clean things up. if we ever want to give it a go in the future, the option is there for us to re-follow and resume!

I don't like the feeling of being 'collected' so...if you are interacting with multiple of of the muses I portray, I ask you have a different dynamic for mine than them. This is just an act of courtesy I also extend to my rp partners. I interact more with folks that have a special relationship with my muse, so it's needed to deep dive into more interesting topics for me. If you're just concerned with collecting another Adam for 'shipping', you don't want me. I rarely ship unless good chemistry/slow burn.

I know that Adam is a bad guy. He's insufferable and can push buttons- but I am not him and I dislike constantly feeling like I'm being barraged for his actions, especially since I consider him to be a heavily layered character that should not be shoe horned into a standard 'ok irredeemable and never allowed nice things' box. So- if you honestly despise this character on a personal level that can't be separated from ic interactions, we won't work out. I am here for exploring taboo topics and ways that a flawed character can make others think he's justified. Let me explore and enjoy what I like on my blog within reason and do talk with me on dms if you don't like how things are going with our muses and you wanna explore other routes. I love to plot and I am very reasonable.

This is my blog and my verses and my interpretation of what's going on. I am happy to accommodate to any pre-determined and agreed upon thread or verse, but I will not let other characters that are considered 'more powerful' lore wise dictate what I can do on my blog. I am happy to adjust depending on others' verses, but I require direct and forward communication before each interaction if that's the case as I feel like I constantly misinterpret intentions. On my blog, Adam (mainly) is the head of the exorcists and always has been and will be until his death. He commands, sleeps with and is generally the head boss of the Exorcists. Do not force any headcanons or per conceived notions onto my character unless it is in your character's nature to assume things about others because that's different and can be played off.

This post/my rules and conditions are subject to change.

[the-unconquered-queen]

With Blades 2 coming to an end, I just wanna get it off my chest that I'm really not a fan of how they wrote Nia for a great part of this one, particularly vis-à-vis the way they wrote MC. I know I've been saying some stuff along those lines for ages now, but it hasn't left my mind so now I'm gonna actually get into it.

For starters, I think a lot of the issue with Nia's writing was captured pretty well in the tags of this post, particularly on point 2. Like I've said, Nia unfortunately falls into the category of a Mary Sue in that every "flaw" she's given just serves to elevate her to perfection. Hell, even when corrupted—when a person is supposed to be in their most volatile state—the worst she does is be snarky that first chapter (she is aggressive toward MC at one point before this, but it's neither acknowledged nor repeated later). After that, she is entirely normal, just not as much of a pushover, and while I much preferred shadow!Nia, I do think that this really undermines the whole gravity of corruption and b2's emphasis on shadow-light balance, since shadow!Nia comes off as quite balanced already, especially compared to other corrupted characters we've seen.

But here's the thing, that post that got me thinking is months old, and we have gotten more story since then, and what I have noticed is that Nia does, in fact, have one real flaw in canon, but it's the one flaw she's absolutely not meant to have: Nia in canon can at times come off as self-absorbed. She either makes things about herself or doesn't stop people from doing this, and there are multiple examples of it. There is the instance in Riverbend when MC is taking a moment to finally try to process Kade's capture (which, following their own capture, they never got the chance to process) and Nia derails the conversation and makes it about her own grief and is comforted by MC and Mal. Another example is the moment on Gerhard's ship when she vents about the pressure she's been under and lets MC comfort her without at any point considering that MC might have been under similar pressure.

And don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a character putting themselves first. But when the book doesn't waste a single chance to tell us that Nia's character is the complete opposite and that she is chronically incapable of not being considerate 25/8, it's quite contradictory. I mean, you can even call out Ethan Ramsey, PB's golden boy, on making things about himself at some point in OH, but because, unlike Ethan, Nia is written for you to consider her super sweet and wholesome and perfect, the Blades MC actually contributes to this by performing mental gymnastics to turn something around to be about Nia.

Which brings me to my final point: Blades 2 pushed MC to the side to revolve around Nia, but MC is exactly the person they meant for Nia to be, by virtue of the dissonance between showing and telling. They tell you that Nia is selfless because she always puts everyone else first. Well, I can and did name examples showing the contrary, meanwhile, MC is the one who was been through the most traumatic ordeal and is constantly checking in on everyone else without expecting and without receiving much of the same courtesy in return, even apologizing to Nia because she was "carrying all that weight on her own", never mind that MC always has the weight of the world on their shoulders. They tell you that Nia is the heart of the party, but they both told and showed us that everything fell apart without MC.

Even some of Nia's most defining character traits, MC has in similar measure. Nia sees the best in everyone? MC can be the #1 believer in Aerin's redemption after all the shit he pulled. Nia is trusting to the point of naivete? MC literally trusted Valax while she outright told them at every turn she would turn on them at the first opportunity, and was genuinely hurt by the betrayal. Miss me with MC calling Nia "our better self".

Every trait that they've gone out of their way to tell you Nia has they've shown twofold in MC, which is why it's so exasperating to me that they reduced MC to the conduct through which other characters' (particularly Nia's) stories get told while their own is an afterthought. I am by no means saying that two people can't have similar traits or that two people can't be good people at the same time, but there is something about praising these traits in Nia when, based on these, MC should be held to a similar standard. Instead, they relegated MC (main. character.) to a supporting character in Nia's story, elevating every trait that MC possesses only in Nia while ignoring them in MC to the point that many scenes felt frustrating to play.

Another Get to Know Me

Tags courtesy of @sleepy-night-child and @splashinkling aaand thanks a lot you two, I loved seeing yours🤩❤

a band you don't like that many others do

Hmm. I'm not really keeping up with people's music tastes anymore (except for you guys). But in middle school, everyone was obsessed with Panic! At the Disco, while I just couldn't vibe with them, so I was mildly worried I'd get defenestrated for it. I didn't, though the chairs did (my class was unique in that they'd slingshot chair seats out of the window by thing them with curtain beads, and they'd kinda just peacefully swing in and out till recess was over)

least favorite animal and why

Nightfriend, I feel like you're making me commit sins (though not really since insects are animals, but it does not feel so??), soo, I raise you: earwigs. Like. My Good Sir. Was there any need for you to grow pincers on your arse to look like you're gonna pull my brain through my ears? No? So please.

hot fandom take

I don't really have any. My fandoms have always been veeery small, even limited to one person (me. Waving, hello!), I'll just hand everyone hot tea and chill🍵

do you wear any jewelry, if so, what's your favorite piece

Not a jewelry person. I did use to have a kitty brooch... but the thing with brooches is, they are perfect for self-poking especially when you're so naturally inclined, so I gave it up.

a movie others liked that you didn't

Ouch, I'm really so out of touch with movies, and these days I'm watching what's very much not popular with people (except for Interstellar. Interstellar is baby). Probably any of the Pride and Prejudice adaptations, I had to go through them for a course, and you couldn't pay me to sit down with them again.

three things you love about yourself

*sees the question and shakes it like a snow globe*

These things so do not come naturally to me. Probably because I'm the type never to think if I can do something and just act, so pride just feels like spur-of-the-moment joy. Though, I'm really starting to think that's just what pride is.

Perfect, actually! So, that I just do stuff, probably my ability to entertain myself, and that I refuse to let life feel like a race. I'm here for the journey.

a place you hope to visit in the future and why

Iceland! Iceland! At night! When I can finally see all the stars, and very importantly, it'll be that delicious shade of freezing, and SNOW! I miss biiig snows so much!! And I want to share it all with my best friend🥰💜💙🥂

an actor that gets on your nerves and why

Am I supposed to know names?

things you're excited about in the near future

Ooooh, you find out like this I'm a bit of fraud come next week. I have goals to put an ungodly amount of chilli in the puff pastries I'll make next week, mostly because I wanna see for myself how painful it can get😈 and, oh, a lot of very awkward and very hilarious dancing, but with how silly it is, it energizes me like nothing else. (And it's still leaps and bounds classier than the 1967 Far From the Madding Crowd adaptation of Troy's... fencing mating rituals. Why was I made to watch that with mine eyes🤣🤣)

least favorite ship in a fandom you're in

I'm in a fandom? Since when? Jokes aside, probably Tomoyo and Kurogane from CLAMP's Tsubasa Reservoir, because HELL NO. Tomoyo crushes hard on Sakura, and you just can't separate Kurogane from Fai. You can't. It'd cost him an arm and maybe a leg also this time.

what's the most toxic fandom you've been in

Oh no, I just make some tea and detox whenever it's the case. I am not a social person, so it helps

list three things you find beautiful about life

Hnnngh, getting to talk to someone in the wee hours of the night when it feels really special, the wind and how it'll numb my fingers but rekindle everything else in me, and how you can grow to love so many things you wouldn't even have thought about before. I love being surprised by time.

any dreams for the future

My personality is such that, from time to time, I just won't dare make a sound from fear they'll just slip through my fingers. I am taught to wait and see.

But this is the rest of the time, SO

I WANT TO KEEP WRITING FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS, AND NEVER FORGET THE THRILL AND JOY OF WATCHING MY STORIES DEVELOP BEYOND MY WILDEST IMAGINATION, OO-RAH!😍👏👏🤺

how are you feeling today

A bit like someone's stomped on my face (sleep; my fault, this time, but the lack of required hours keep me hostage), but also? Energized. Ready to go. And I absolutely never rest😈

These were really pleasant, so if anyone wants to hop on and grab some tea🍵, I'm keeping this tag open for you! I love talking😊

RULES.

GNEREAL

⸻ 25+ ONLY. This blog is written by an adult for other adults, so please act accordingly.

⸻ I'm careful about how I curate my online space. The block button and I are besties. Keep OOC drama, OOC bigotry and LGBTQA+ phobia of any kind, callout posts, OOC political discourse faaaaar away from my little corner of the www, thankyouverymuch. I also tend to steer clear of writers who have lots of DNIs or triggers.

⸻ This blog is anti-censorship. Fiction =/= reality. If you don't like someone's content or ships, block them. We don't police adults on what to write on their blogs (go touch some grass).

⸻ DEAD DOVE FRIENDLY. I'm an angst slut and I love exploring dark content. If you have any triggers, please let me know. Triggers you may encounter on this blog: violence, murder, abuse, gore, monsters, gaslighting, manipulation, cults, canon-typical fantasy racism and overall offensive / problematic themes & ships. Triggers won't always be tagged. Major triggers will be tagged as tw: trigger. If you're triggered by any of the themes mentioned above, this blog probably isn't for you. While we don't have to write any of them out, they are present on this blog.

⸻ Communication is key! <3 Writing is so much more fun if the muns get along. I promise, I don't bite!

INTERACTION

⸻ I'm selective and mutuals only because I'm very busy ooc and run multiple blogs. Which also means there will be phases of tumblr inactivity, or me focusing only on a select few threads / muses until I have time to tackle older drafts.

⸻ I only follow back if I see potential for future threads. If I follow you, I want to interact! Don't be shy <3 I will also assume that if you follow me (back), you're fine with me sending you memes, tagging you in starters and sliding into your IMs to plot. I won't follow if you have a lot DNIs, if your rules page isn't accessible, if your main verse/s for your (multi)muse isn't Baldur's Gate or DnD related, if you use heavy formatting (overly spaced out punctuation and words, all caps or lowercase for entire paragraphs, all bold or italics for entire paragraphs... my brain just says no).

⸻ Personals are welcome to follow, but no touchy my RP stuff.

⸻ MEMES. YES! If you want to continue a meme, go right ahead!

⸻ Plotting: Hmu with a plot idea anytime! I'm not a fan of plotting out every detail, but Lorroakan is a particularly uncooperative muse. Having a general idea of where we want our story to go really helps to keep the ball rolling, even if we end up going in a different direction!

SHIPPING / RELATIONSHIPS

⸻ This blog is multiship, male lean. I write smut and I love shipping. Ships with Lorroakan will most likely be toxic / slow-burn / one-sided (particularly with Rolan), but with the potential to develop into something wholesome over time!

⸻ Pre-established relationships: Yes. While first meeting threads can be fun, they often take a while to get juicy. What if your muse was Lorroakan's childhood bestie? Another (former?) apprentice? An ex? A lover? Hell, I'm brave & ready to jump right into a romantic ship, but I need some plotting first. I don't make assumptions about relationships of any kind with your muse, and I'd appreciate the same courtesy.

⸻ Yes, Lorroakan is a dick, he primarily acts out of self-interest and he's often a pain to deal with :))) Our muses clashing when they don't see eye to eye in a thread is perfectly fine and encouraged! Not every muse will get along with him and conflict makes the most compelling stories. That said! While I love writing rivalries and ic drama (AND FIGHTS!! Let's roll for initiative!!), constant antagonism without direction or resolution can get get old real fast, especially without any prior plotting. Which is why I'm a fan of pre-established reltionships! I've also made a Tav! verse to explore what happens when an uncooperative character like Lorroakan is forced into situations where cooperation is necessary.

-> TAV VERSE

MUN NOTES

⸻ Mun =/= Muse, I obviously don't condone any of Lorroakan's bs IRL. While I will absolutely respect your boundaries OOC (if you talk to me beforehand about them, pretty please with a cherry on top), I won't water him down.

⸻ I think Lorri is an underrated and compelling character. While we get quite a lot of scattered info about him from letters and notes (and his wiki page), his backstory isn't nearly as developed as the main cast's. Sooo I've filled in some blanks with creative liberties while keeping true to his canon.

-> HCs

⸻ I have the memory of a pickle. If you don't want me to interact with you, hard-block.

⸻ I'm absolutely down to write some of the companions / npcs, and I might pick some of them up as a guest muse if the thread calls for it (most likley Rolan, who is my secondary muse, or Lae'zel!). I'd love it if my partners did the same, but this is by no means an obligation!!

⸻ We can totally incooperate D&D mechanics like dice rolls!

⸻ Discord is available for moots I interact with frequently.

⸻ They / Them, hatched 1995, dog parent, hyperfixating on problematic villains, D&D player & DM. c:

do you have any advice for a new writer trying to post on ao3 I want my stories to be noticed (also thanks for not leaving -- so many writers are gone now)

*Looks at my recent hits counts* I'm not sure I'm the best reference for this 😅

I think there are two aspects to getting engagement on fan works:

1: There is the actual work you put into posting your fics. This includes tags, cross posting, and self promotion.

Tags: Make sure you are tagging what is relevant to your fic. AO3 doesn't run on an algorithm, so the way people find your fics is primarily through searches. There is an excellent post on tumblr somewhere that discusses how to accurately tag your work, and I highly suggest starting there! (Post here) Also when tagging, I would suggest considering what YOU would search if you were looking for a fic like this. Quite often, I've found that the tag I was looking for isn't on AO3 yet. Don't be afraid to type in the specific trope or AU you are writing. Look at other tags to get a feel for the structure of the tag, but other than that, have fun.

Also, it may seem counterintuitive, but don't over-tag, by which I mean tagging a bunch of tropes or characters or ships that aren't in your story. It's a fast way to have people disregard your fic instantly, or even mute your name on AO3. Especially in smaller fandoms, I totally get the desire to tag a bigger ship, but it just makes more trouble for you in the long run.

Similarly, on tumblr, keep tags tight. I tend to only tag ship, character (name and superhero name), show/ movie, franchise, and the challenge I'm answering if I am. I know other people tag the actors of the characters. I don't because I know when I go into an actor's tag, I don't want to see fic (of their characters or them either) but that's entirely up to you. But don't tag characters or shows etc that have nothing to do with your fic. This is just courtesy in fandom spaces.

Cross-posting: I admit, I can be kind of bad about cross-posting, but I do find that it helps drive engagement when I do buckle down and get it done. Cross-posting is publishing or promoting a fic on multiple platforms. For instance, I use AO3 AND tumblr. On tumblr fic posts,I link to the AO3 (if there is one, I'm pretty bad about publishing shorter things on here only) And when I publish the fic on AO3, I'm supposed to be linking back to my tumblr. This helps more people see your fic and it grows your community when people are able to follow you on various platforms and spread your fic and kudos around. If you have fan accounts elsewhere and you're comfortable with it, feel free to promote there as well. Also check any discord or group servers you may be on for rules about promoting or channels meant exactly for that.

Self-promoting: this is pretty similar to the above. Because AO3 doesn't have an algorithm, it's kind of up to you to keep interest alive in your fics, especially if you want eyes on it for the first several days afterwards. I know it feels embarrassing to reblog your own fic posts all the time, but it's impossible to tell who may have seen or not seen that you posted a new fic. I don't have any set times for this, personally. I try to catch what I consider active times on tumblr, but that's entirely subjective. It's just trial and error, really. Secondly, don't be embarrassed to recommend your own fics (I'm kind of bad at this) If someone is looking for recs on a specific trope or AU and you know you have just the fic, tell them! Unfortunately, you have to be your own biggest cheerleader when it comes to your own art because no one knows and loves it as much as you do. It feels awkward and I know I get embarrassed if people aren't reccing my fics on their own, but you really are your biggest advocate. Fandom is kind of a popularity contest sometimes 🤷‍♀️ Hype your own self up

2: Now that the technical stuff is done, let's move on to the community aspect of fic posting. (This is not really what you asked for, but i think it's more important sometimes than the actual tags and AO3 procedures) Curating a community and making friends is HUGE as far as readership goes. Especially in smaller fandoms (I assume this is about Sambucky fics/fandom) community is everything. Being a name people recognize and trust is important to regular readership.

Building community: don't be afraid to interact with other writers on this platform or others! The Sambucky fandom has this delightful habit of playfully creating headcanons and ficlets based off of text posts. The Daily Sambucky Fluff Diary project is so much fun and so interactive. I have honestly never been in such a fun, supportive group as the sambucky writers on tumblr. I highly suggest playing in this sandbox and getting familiar with other writers. We hype each other up all the time.

Understanding the rules of play: this is kind of an addendum, but the sambucky fandom is rightfully protective over Sam and his portrayal in fics, as well as Bucky. Reading fics, community interaction posts, and even the rules laid out in various challenges (like the bingos that are hosted at various times) will really help you get a sense of how to respectfully tell stories with Sam and Bucky without being racist, ableist, or disregarding to these characters. Quite often Sam (and Bucky, and especially Sambucky) is only there to prop up other characters. This is something the fandom will (again, rightfully) push back on and avoid. I highly suggest looking at the rules that are laid out in the Sambucky Library's bingo rounds to get an idea of the sandbox rules.

Engagement: the sambucky fandom is small, so we don't really have big organized events like Bangs or Reverse Bangs. However, we do have lots of fun, smaller challenges, namely the bingos! There is also Samtember, the Anniversary Challenge (I don't think that's what we called it) and various prompt week challenges, including an AU week (and we like birthdays here). I highly suggest following @ sambuckylibrary to keep apprised of challenges and prompts. Filling out these prompts when you can and want is a great way to break into the fandom and get engagement with your fics. They are all very low stakes and the reward is new fics, friends, and interaction!

I would also suggest joining a discord server, if that is something you're interested in. (I personally am not in any, but that's because I don't like making new accounts on things, not because I don't want to be part of the fun) This is a great place to interact with other fans, promote your fics, get new recs, and generally reap the fun of fandom in a more condensed space, rather than the entirety of AO3 or tumblr.

One last thing to keep in mind: you've already pointed out that fan fic/art/engagement is decreased in our fandom. This will be reflected in your hits/kudos/comments, especially if you're coming from a bigger fandom. Don't let this discourage you. In fact, I really suggest not looking at stats as much as possible. The wealth of engagement in this fandom will be seen in your relationships and interactions with other fans, not in skyrocketing numbers. Allegedly, Cap4 and Thunderbolts come out in 2025 and our guys look to have an episode in the next season of What-If, but without new content, interest will lag and numerical engagement with it. Just keep this in mind as you begin/ continue your journey into the fandom.

That's a lot of words to say: tag properly, make friends, and have fun ❤️🤍💙❤️🩶🖤🪽🐺

[lordincognito]

If you're here for business try to, summarize your intentions.

Oh..? You're not here for that. Color me surprised.

Go ahead and tell me the reason for your visit.

Legend:

" " Is used for dialog

* * will sometimes be used for actions depending on the type of role-play

// will be used for ooc

The lone wolf rambles 🐺 - tag for monologues

Art reblog ⚙️ - pretty self explanatory, tag for Wriothesley fanart i reblog on here

Your honor ⚖️💧 - tag for Neuvillette intercations

The little menace 🐰💉 - tag for Sigewine intercations

The wolf dragon pack 🐺❄️ - this blog got lore courtesy of @crossroadsglade ,Wrio is depicted as as the grandson of the Cryo sovereign and any interactions with his bio family are depicted as such.

When this tag has "extended version" added to it is usually when the muse interacts with his kids whether adopted or hatched.

Snow storm noodles 🐉- specific tag for any baby dragons wrio and neuvi manage to bring in this world

Baby noodles Sasha and Frigga 🐉 - specific tag for Wrio's interactions with his recently hatched bio aunties.

I do adopt tags from the people i rp with as well for consistency

Everyone else is free to pick a emoji and quote if they feel inclined to do so

Rules:

Please be respectful to each other

Absolutely no discriminatory actions of any type (examples :bigotry, racism, ableism, transphobia, Islamophobia, queerphobia, etc). You will be blocked without hesitation and reported.

Same goes for encouraging people to self-harm. I don't want to see any of that, it will not tolerate it and I will make sure you are dealt with accordingly.

No weird links in ask.

Absolutely no underage ships

Mod is okay with writing nsfw, however try to establish a dynamic with the character beforehand. I promise it makes the writing better.

Anon posts are super-duper ok

Keep good communication with mod if anything is not working out/not feeling okay. We're all humans here and I will understand.

Don't put me on a pedestal and assume I know everything because I don't. I'm just a human behind a screen doing co-op writing in hopes of bringing some smiles

Do not spam me for interactions please

I might not be consistent with my writing schedule but i promise i'm trying my best

Nsfw and suggestive will be tagged so I ask to have the tags muted or blocked if you're a minor or simply don't want to see it.

Do let me know if any of you want any extra warning for stuff tagged.

About Mod:

- I go by she/they

- I have a full time job so replies are not going to be regular. However I will do my best to because I genuinely enjoy writing

-I'm Romanian but I speak mostly english and a little bit of french.

- My favorite ship is wriolette/neuvithesley (yes i like both dynamics sue me) because I love how my faves paralel each other in certain aspects.

This pin will probably be updated when I have new relevant info

Enjoy!

~This will be updated as needed~

[kiigan]

⇾ Main rule: ㅤPlease be nice and respectful. I try my best to make this blog a safe space for everybody, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, etc., and I expect the same courtesy in return.

ㅤMore info in general about how I run this blog and how I am as a roleplay partner can be found [here] and [here].

⇾ Followers and Mutuals: ㅤI don't do follow-for-follows and I'm not here for numbers. If I follow you, I want to interact with you and I assume that is also why you follow me. I reserve myself the right to unfollow/block blogs that I cannot see myself interacting with and/or that make me uncomfortable in any way, and I highly encourage you to do the same to me if it's ever needed.

ㅤFor personal blogs: I usually do not follow back personals because I like to keep a focused dash or else I get easily overwhelmed. Personals are welcome to interact, however! Feel free to send questions, anons, memes/promts, etc. Personals are also welcome to like and leave comments on my posts but, please, refrain from reblogging roleplay threads (it messes up the notifications).

⇾ Interactions: ㅤAlways feel free to come poke at me in the DMs (or to ask for my Discord!), tag me on a starter, ask me for a starter, send something to my inbox. Unprompted asks are always welcome and the memes/prompts I reblog don't have expiration date, feel free to send at any time. Also, always feel free to continue asks. And I don't really care for reblog karma, reblog all the things directly from me if you wanna.

ㅤI prefer plotted interactions, but I'm also open to winging stuff. Also, I do prefer interactions with at least a half-paragraph of content, because honestly I am very bad at one-liners. Multiple threads with the same person are welcome, as well as interactions with different muses from a same multi-muse blog. Fair warning: I sometimes get wordy in my replies! Please never feel like you have to match reply length. Provided there's content to work with and we're having fun, that's what matters to me.

ㅤI add some formatting to my posts (mostly, different colors and font sizes) and I don't use icons, and I'm okay with any style in my partners' replies. If you need me to keep my own replies looking simple and unformatted, just let me know.

ㅤLast but never least: please don't ever feel like you owe me anything. I'm very patient when it comes to replies (also I can be incredibly slow myself) and roleplay is for fun, not to add to irl stress. Take care of yourself and always put your well-being first!

⇾ Content: ㅤThe following themes feature heavily in my portrayal: children as soldiers, children expected to act as adults, blood and injuries, death, (progressive) chronic/terminal illness, (progressive) blindness, mental illness symptoms, genocide represented by the Uchiha massacre, segregation and discrimination perpetrated on the Uchiha clan, canon-typical violence, canon-typical eye gore, manipulation associated with the use of genjutsu.

ㅤThese themes will NOT be tagged, because they are integral to Itachi as a character. Other potential triggers are tagged as: [insert trigger] cw. Sexual content is tagged as nsft cw and will usually be placed under a Read More cut. If you need something in specific to be tagged, let me know. As for myself, please tag anything related to animal harm/abuse/cruelty. I’m open to exploring dark/ angsty/ dead dove themes, provided both muns are of age, rightfully consent, and are comfortable with it.

⇾ Relationships: ㅤYes please. Developing and exploring dynamics between muses is actually one of my favorite things to do! I'm open for all sorts of bonds: romantic, platonic, family, friends, friends with benefits, exes, enemies, rivals, hateships, crackships, all of it. This blog is multi-ship and each thread happens in its own universe, unless plotted otherwise. Regarding sexual content, I personally feel comfortable writing it explicitly, however I will always respect what my partners prefer (like making it vague or fade to black entirely).

[pap03]

I am not your enemy, and I do not wish to be your enemy.

I apologies for saying that I found it hard to believe you liked Noelle, and that while my goals in the document was to stay civil, in your eyes I failed to do so. I do admit I rushed the document in three days because I wanted to get my submission in early before others.

I only wrote my submission because I could potentially get a commission out of it, and I don't want to start some god damn drama with people over ships.

That being said, you still vaugeposted about my submission, when I was led to believe that “uncivil” responses would be ignored by the very rules of your very challenge. And said vaugeposting has itself been far from civil.

Suselle shippers aren't out to get you; I don't care if you two ship Ralsusie or Kriselle or think Suselle won't become canon, and I'm not actively seeking out Ralsusie/Kriselle shippers to debate bro with them because again, I only did this because of the potential for a free commission. You don't see me vague posting about how you're straw-manning my arguments, or whatever else you've said because guess what I don't care.

If these ship arguments are so unpleasant to warrant that response then maybe just disengage? Instead of picking fights with Suselle shippers? Honestly people I know think I'm being a lot more charitable to you two then I should.

One friend of mine thinks you're just trying to stir shit by saying controversial things knowing it will make people mad, just so you can point at angry people and say "see Suselle shippers are so intolerant."

If this is the reaction people get when they see your challenge, or see how you respond to what you deem “uncivil” people, you both need to consider how you conduct yourself. (Again, I thought "uncivil" responses were supposed to be ignored, yet mine sure as hell wasn't, and your response response was far from civil itself.)

Whatever picture of Suselle shippers you've built in your heads, is what people are going to see you as if you continue down this route.

If you two can imagine what seeing Anti-Ralsusie & Anti-Kriselle posts in the Ralsusie & Kriselle tags is like, arguing very similar talking points to yourselves. (That the ship is toxic/unhealthy/won't become canon.) OR if you have seen these posts in your tags, then you should understand why tagging your Anti-Suselle posts as Anti-Suselle would be a common courtesy.

You can choose to answer this publicly, or privately, or not at all, but generally I just implore you both to learn the value of disengaging. I learned this the hard way after I made a video arguing for UT/DR’s trans/enby rep, and then proceeded to get into way too many arguments with people who clearly weren’t coming at this in good faith.

If arguing with people is unpleasant and bad for your mental health, then maybe just don’t argue with people? (Or if said arguments turn bad you just, stop engaging?) Honestly I wish I sent this first rather then the messages I sent when I first noticed your vauge-posting, but I can’t edit/delete tumblr msgs so oh well.

Once again, I am not your enemy, and I do not wish to be your enemy. I genuinely hope you both have a good day, and if you wish for us to never interact after this I can accept that.

Speaking honestly

The vaguepost was brash

Not so much thought out as much as well, needing it to be said

Overall though, the idea of an "Anti-[Ship]" Tag is general, algorithmically infeasible

That's why stuff like that gets tagged like it does

Plus I've never really had a problem with it

If you can't tell, I'm generally more pro-discussion than not, even when certain things get under my skin

That's why I didn't ping you, or go "Oh everyone look at TigerBears saying I'm not really a Noelle fan, go and Attack her" or whatever

I don't want War

I want Discorse

Something that myself and Sweaterman really wanted more than anything, and tried to engage in the first place

Any time we've tried to play ball in their (as in pro-suselle people who disagree with us) court, it results in us getting flamed

Or myself trying to use this Tumblr... mostly just getting ignored lmao

So then that brings us to the "but assholes will get ignored" clause of the challenge

Which I will say, friend, it's the internet; we're all assholes to each other to some degree, some level of that was anticipated, Hell even encouraged, given how we framed the video

We still made it a goal to read everyone's things because we wanted to continue the conversation

Get the ball rolling on a side of Deltarune theorizing that's relatively untouched just because some see it as starting a "Shipping War"

(Plus whenever we get to the Follow-up video having some free Asshole-made fodder is great meming potential)

Regardless, and I guess the point is, I'm not going to disengage

And I'm sorry that you have been brought to the point that you think that you should disengage with your own theories and the like

But I like fighting for my ideas, stating my case, Pheonix Wright-ing my way through mounds of bullshit

And considering the size of your entry, contents be damned, so do you

For the sake of both of us, let's just leave this ordeal vaguely aware of the other's presence and when time comes again that I say something you disagree with

You may as well say something

And I will you

That is the nature of trying to discuss

If not

Then have a good rest of your day, night, week, month, year, and/or blocking me

Ciao

𝘑𝘜𝘚𝘛 𝘈 𝘎𝘜𝘠 𝘛𝘏𝘈𝘛 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘚 𝘈𝘋𝘝𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘜𝘙𝘌 !

# 𝘚𝘖𝘕𝘕𝘌𝘐𝘊 - indie , private & selective low activity blog for SONIC THE HEDGEHOG . primarily game verse with a focus on sonic adventure - shadow the hedgehog . movie verses available as well . loved by fritzi ( 27 / any prns / est ) .

triggering content WILL appear on this blog , so I ask that you be 21+ to follow and interact with this blog. tyvm 💐

RULES BENEATH READMORE !

BASIC.

Hi! Thank you so much for checking out my blog. First things first I'd like to say that followbacks take me some time as I like to check out your blog and thoroughly read your rules / muse pages. If I do not follow you back after a week's time then I am not currently interested. It is nothing at all against you. I just try to keep a small following count to keep my dash clean and my sanity intact.

Personals you may follow / send in asks and like my stuff but PLEASE do not reblog my threads! I also wish to add that I absolutely ADORE OCs with a passion c: I am duplicate friendly as well and do not care if you reblog stuff from me. Just try to send stuff in on occasion so I don't outwardly feel like a meme source. Minors absolutely do not follow me. I'll block you. 

DRAMA / TRIGGERING CONTENT.

Please do not involve me in drama. It makes me uncomfortable and also most things can be resolved in private between those involved. I do not follow callout culture either, unless the person in question is an actual threat to anyone's online presence. If I personally mess up or you have an issue with someone I interact with, I ask that you come to me privately (off anon) so we may discuss things. Know I will never be upset!

Onto more important things if you're a bigot of any kind, against the LGBTQIA+ community, or any of that unsavory stuff you are not welcome here.I am not here to police what you write and I ask the same courtesy be applied to me. The block button exists for a reason after all. Though some topics I refuse to write are: Rape, Incest, Underage, and Beastiality.

SHIPPING / NSFW.

Shipping is fun, but it isn't what I'm explicitly here for. Neither is NSFW. I am more than happy to have other relationships written between our muses that are not of a romantic nature. If shipping does happen it's usually with chemistry and ooc discussion. I am not here to be another ship in your roster. NSFW will NOT be written here so please do not follow or ask to do so.

 WRITING / FORMATTING.

I write. A lot. I tend to overdescribe and so my replies can get quite lengthy. That being said I do not ever expect you to match my length! Just give me something to work with and we'll be fine. I am fine with multiple threads as well, and also do not mind if you turn asks into threads. As for formatting I tend to use small text and a mix of bold and italics. Icons are used on occasion depending on the character, but I am totally fine with iconless roleplay as well! 

ACTIVITY.

I am mobile bound a good 90% of the time for numerous reasons, so it may take me a while to get to threads. On top of that my mental health takes top priority, and some days I barely have energy to get out of bed. Please bear with me, and know that if I take a while to respond it is not out of disinterest or dislike. I just have a lot going on irl as well that Tumblr is sort of a backburner for me currently. I am usually busy on the weekends, so the best place to reach me to chat / plot is Discord! I just ask that we are mutuals and you lmk who you are! 

MUN.

Hi! My name's Fritzi (or Iggy) and I've been writing for a very, very long time. I like hiking and nature photography, as well as rock and bone collecting. I love to talk ooc as well, since it really does help getting to know the people I write with. Speaking of ooc, I tend to post a bit of it but it is appropriately tagged and deleted after a few hours so as to not clog the dash. Please know also that if you ever need anything at all that I am here for you, and my IMs / asks are open to all! <3

[lesbiansanemi]

Caught up on jjk. opened the jjk tag. saw the first post was a straight x reader post. IMMEDIATELY closed it and opened your blog instead. o7.

I'm so glad to be a safe haven from the hellscape that is tags. I hope you enjoyed your scrolling o7

Nah, x reader shit is a literal fucking inescapable plague and it's so fucking infuriating, I can't lie

Like, I truly have no issue with x reader stuff in general. Like the actual fics and art, of course. I have no interest in it, but other people like making and reading it, so good for them! Like, glad you're having fun

The broad community around it is fucking insufferable though and they make me kinda fucking hate anything associated with x reader stuff in general, to the point that I literally block anyone who posts/reblogs it on sight.

They are so fucking inconsiderate of everyone other than themselves in fandom spaces and ignore so many of the social niceties pretty much all other communities use to make fandom a habitable space for everyone en masse. The way they flood and abuse tagging systems is so fucking infuriating. Like, using the jjk fandom as an example (as its x reader community is one of the worst I've seen in this regard, though kny isn't much better), you shouldn't be fucking tagging your x reader smut shots with every goddamn character in the series. You want to write something of getting dicked down by Gojo? Sure, put it in the general jjk tag as well as Gojo's tag. That's valid and fair. Why tf are you tagging Maki? Or Yuuji? Or literally every other character in the series? Why are you tagging unrelated ships? It's so unnecessary and rude and self centered.

I also hate that the vast majority of them won't tag their stuff with a general x reader tag that's easy to blacklist. If I want to avoid their posts in totality, I'd have to blacklist "gojo x reader" "satoru gojo x reader" "gojo x fem reader" "gojo x gender neutral reader" "gojo x you" etc etc you get the point.... but for every fucking character in the series. Why not just add literally one general "x reader" tag that would mean people like me could easily avoid your stuff and we can both blissfully enjoy our lives? Tagging isn't just for getting exposure, it's for allowing people to avoid your work as well. That's more than half the courtesy of it

But no.... they want to shove their shit into as many people's faces as possible because they think that will get them more exposure, not just piss people off and make tags uninhabitable for literally anyone who isn't interested in it

They also have a tendency to not put their graphic, explicit porn under read mores, which is also just basic decency. Never mind that I then have to scroll through all 4K words of your OOC daddy kink nanami porn, but I had to see it when I didn't consent to it, potentially in public. Thanks for that! Also especially dumb when you put MDNI on it and then... just post it openly without even a single click to keep it off the screen. Great job! Not that MDNI always keeps minors out (obviously) but it's a useless shiny sticker when you then post the porn just out in the fucking open, not even offering one fucking click for people to consent to seeing it

I've also noticed they tend to use uncredited art in their stuff super fucking often? And no "art not mine" doesn't fucking count as credit.

Idk, I just truly have no fucking respect for the x reader community at this point considering their blatant lack of respect and courtesy for literally every other fandom subculture.

Sure, they get some hate for being "cringe" or whatever (which I admit isn't fair. I def don't get the appeal, but I don't think anyone should be getting meanly ridiculed for it, you know?) but I wish they would realize that the fucking disdain they get from the rest of the fandom is for these reasons.... Not necessarily the self shipping or even the blatant mischaracterization for wish fulfillment purposes

Idk, sorry for the rant, but the x reader crowd fucking infuriates me. Like I said, I block them all on sight (probably have upwards of 1-2K blogs blocked at this point because of it), and have blacklisted as many tags for it as I can.... and while how often I see it has definitely gone down and makes tags slightly more bearable... it's still, fucking somehow, like 50 fucking percent of them

But anyways, back to the main point! I'm glad I could curate a jjk tag that is more enjoyable and to your tastes! I know I very much like having one I can scroll through that's art and meta, rather than.... that
