Okok

[sxfterhearts]

omg chat why is writing kinda hard???

ok so this is a bit of an aside (warning: this post is long) but @348kg and i talked about this and honestly writing fanfics is a way for us to express ourselves creatively while using our idols as inspo for our work. and it’s fun most of the time.. but like honestly, 70-80% of the time, writing is hard. it’s not easy, like… it’s actually quite hard work.

and i know everyone has seen posts of like “pls reblog instead of just silently reading” or “pls like at least to show your appreciation” etc etc etc and ur probs sick of hearing it but like, it’s so true???

writing is honestly hard. and for most of us fanfic writers.. im sure you know but we have lives outside of our blogs. we are students, or we work normal jobs, we have life responsibilities, we have problems to deal with, and yet somewhere in between our busy lives we manage to find the time to sit down and create these pieces of writing for you, the reader, to read.

and tbh, i don’t really know where im going with this? i just want to let you know this: a typical 1-2k words one-shot probably takes me around 2-3 hours to write (on average, on a good day - sometimes longer or shorter). but it takes you maybe 10-15 mins, at most 30 mins to read depending on your reading speed. isn’t the time gap a little wild 🫠 on a typical work day, i get home from work at about 6, i cook myself dinner and eat, i shower and clean up, and if i know im writing that night, i make sure to clear my schedule (ie no overtime, no phone calls to friends or parents etc) and i sit on my laptop and write from about 10ish to about midnight. then i pause and i edit, and set things up to get ready post (think: pictures, title, word count, writing the warnings, summary, doing the tags) and by the time i post, it’s probably 1am.

i breathe a sigh of relief because it feels good! it feels really good to release my labour of love (literally) out into the world. and honestly, you know who you are, but those of you who constantly read and reblog my work, i see u!! (Alexa play i see u by p1harmony) and those who leave comments or reviews in the tags, i also see u (that’s why i like to reblog and respond to your tags too)!! it honestly brings me so much joy when someone comes and talks to me about something i wrote and how it made them feel. or even when someone recommends a fic i wrote. all these things that are so little and take so little of your time actually mean so much to me and im sure other writers as well.

and so i guess what im trying to say to everyone is: if you are a fic reader, if you read any fics, i just want you to know that the fic you loved reading took the writer a lot of resources to write (brain power, creativity and importantly time). i hope this gives u an insight into the process of a writer/writing a fic because im hoping it might help with whether or not you decide to hit that like or reblog or comment button in the near future!!

(also, i think it’s a shame that as writers sometimes we have to compromise on what we actually want to write vs what to write to get more engagement, likes, rbs etc. personally i have been writing on tumblr since 2020 on and off so ive been on here for four years now and i have a good sense of what is a good formula for a “successful” fic - usually it’s smut, usually it’s for the most popular member in terms of fic reading, and usually it’s of a certain length posted around a certain time etc etc. but i guess i don’t rly care anymore bc im a kinda old tumblr writer who isn’t bothered about the notes as much as i am just grateful for the little comments people send me saying that what i wrote made them feel seen or resonated with them. cos i think that is priceless 🥹)

PS. in no way am i complaining about the engagement or lack thereof that i personally get, nor am i complaining about the mere fact that writing is hard bc yes i am aware that i wanted to write in the first place and so it was my decision haha

[edgaralienpoe]

hi, i’m back as promised. my actual reactions are under this post (and it’s reblogs) it’s well documented 🤣 also forgive me!! this ask is quite a long one 😭

we’re in on it for the same reason!! 🙃 i discovered park jihoon earlier last year bc of at a distance spring is green and i was hearing news abt this new show he’d be in that his character strays away from the boy next door types he’d been playing.

initially, i thought the show was quite unrealistic (the part where they managed to successfully stop some huge scheme that was going on, yeah, high schoolers?? fr??) and i hate seeing that in shows that someone mirror reality but i changed my mindset, started just looking over the unrealistic parts and immersed myself in the found family of the trio 🥹 (big mistake, really fucked myself up there). also it’s true what you mentioned abt the violence bc it’s somewhat a peek into why people did what they did to survive in the hellhole of a school (or show lol)

i thought it was well done for something so short (minus the first quarter or first half 😭) specially loved it when we started seeing into the trio more? I LOVED THEM SO MUCH AND I KNOW THAT IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT THEY COULD’VE BEEN REALLY GREAT FRIENDS! you can’t tell me otherwise :(

about bumseok, my thoughts in the posts/rbs are not representatives of how i think of him today pls do not take me seriously 😭 i was just rlly mad at him and looking for someone to blame when i knew (or know now that) it’s not his fault. i think all he ever wanted was a place where he felt like he belonged and for acceptance and for ppl to look at him as their equal rather than smth to look down on. while i think he really misinterpreted the situation with sooho, we also can’t blame him for feeling that way bc it’s all his ever seen so far :( i hurt for all three of them but presently, i hurt for bumseok most bc i know that everything he did wasn’t his fault (it was his decisions to do the things he did, yes, but everything leading up to were beyond him).

what hurts more is that nothing will ever be the same from this point on and there’s no happy reunion for them (also weak hero the webtoon is more on sieun’s life in that new school). and even if they meet each other further down the line, i don’t think i’d like to be happily friends with someone behind my being a comatose and we just have to live with that conclusion.

if there are specific points you want to talk to me with, feel free to do so bc i need prompts to bring up those traumatic memories (the show) HAHA i’m just thrilled that someone else has watched the show bc i have been suffering in silence for a MONTH. i actually got sad for days after watching it so i feel you. i hope talking to someone else abt it helps with the post-show depression 😭

ok so I just woke up and I wrote so much... I don't think my phone nor Tumblr are gonna like that://

some clothing piece that was rEd and read 'keep pushing' at the back like a warning or maybe it was positive. then bumseok being almost naked while his dad was hitting him, when he's generally fully covered and you can even see his arms when he's at school or hanging out -could also be to hide bruises and stuff :((- 

like you, bumseok made me feel so conflicted, cause we kinda know why he ended like he did but also, a person can't just excuse everything on their trauma.

I loved the first scene on episode eight, when the three of them were together but sieun is left alone, because that's just how the show started and sadly, how it ended. and like you said, even if they find each other I don't think it would be the same because all of them hurted so much from that to the point that I don't think they're the same people anymore, would you like to see them back together? A lot of people want to.

who was your favorite character? What made them your fave? (I saw you talking about keep watching because of suho but maybe that changed)  do you think there was something else between suho and bumseok? I saw people take the whole situation as bumseok having a crush on suho -that would make sense because of how impulsive he got - but then some people took it as bumseok just wanting to be like suho and reading too much into what he was doing (kind of what you said) again sO complex

hiii okay it’s been a WHILE since we’ve actually talked but! you’re my only mutual who’s into the two princes and i was just wondering what the plot is and who the characters are and stuff? i really want to get into it but also i am clueless so. yeah. help 😭

AHA INCREDIBLE TIMING I WAS JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE TTP TAG

Okay so our story begins with Prince Rupert of the West who knows that something is Very Wrong because the forest at the edge of his kingdom is invading. So he goes out to look for the Hollow of the Two Kings, where legend says that two kings battled a thousand years ago and created the cursed forest. If he can find the Hollow, he could save his kingdom!

Except he’s not the only one in the forest. He quickly runs into trouble and is saved by the dashing Prince Amir of the East! Amir my beloved, thank you for being so beautiful…. I mean brave! Haha brave totally don’t think you’re beautiful.

The East and the West are enemies. Deadly enemies. Rupert is wayyy less capable of beating Amir in a fight so he lies. He’s totally a thief named Fitz who has a Robin Hood situation going on and lives in the forest. Amir kinda hires him to lead them to the Hollow because as it turns out, Amir is looking for something there too…

I’m not gonna spoil the rest because it’s really and truly amazing but our cast includes

Lady Cecily- resident valley girl who owns my heart, she really has such character growth by the end

Sir Joan- she’s beauty she’s grace she will kick you in the face our beloved knight Joanie is just all around wonderful

Queen Atossa- Amir’s mom. Tbh we don’t know too much about her but we know she’s smart as a whip and tough to boot

Queen Lavinia- “if I throw more parties, people will like me more!”

I totally recommend checking out this podcast it’s absolutely worth your time

Pen, NGL I was just WAITING for you to reblog that post... I hope you saw this coming! 😁

36, 42, 49, 62, 66

Also, only if you can/want to! No pressure at all!(I'd ask you a lot more tbh you're just so awesome as a writer!)

I hope that RL is treating you kindly. Take care! (Also, please correct me if I'm wrong but you're starting your new job really soon right? May it go swimmingly!! ❤️)

Hi Yoko 💞

Actually, SAME. The moment I saw you rb the post, I felt like asking you a ton of questions because you're one of my brilliant writer moots! No pressure tho! I'm not sure if I forgot to mention it in my ask and I might've gotten too carried away with my excitement haha, but feel free to only answer if you'd like/are able to!

RL is okay-ish now. I'm just gonna savor my last break. You're right! I'm actually starting work tomorrow and thank you for this and for asking!! Wishing you the best and take care too ❤️💜💙

36. What fic are you proudest of?

It's not just one! The fics that I’m proudest of are all of the works I'm able to finish, especially if it's a series or a multi-chapter fic, because I'm one of those writers that lose patience and drop an ongoing story the moment I lose inspiration 😔 That's why I tend to write in one-shots or a series of them nowadays because it's quicker and readers get an ending at least. Green Light is the only exception because I find so much peace in writing it more than the others.

42. What’s your favorite title that you’ve come up with?

I hope you don't mind me going off for a moment because I had two in mind!

It’s Musubi and Saltation. For the former, it’s because the title encapsulates so much about the threads that bind people, time, and events together and the nature of Kenshi’s Inherited Technique to be entwined with fate and how her attachments had become into a curse in her life. One of those attachments is Geto. Musubi [結び] means ‘ending’ or ‘conclusion’ but it also means ‘joining’, ‘union’, and ‘knotting’, almost as if it’s implying that there’s a beginning and end, a connection. On a fun note, all the chapter titles are connected because of the thread radical [糸].

As for Saltation, it means an abrupt evolutionary change, a sudden large-scale mutation, as to reference the nature of the demons in KnY since the focus is on them in this fic. Another meaning for saltation is dance, or at least the action of leaping or jumping. It’s more the former for me because I’m also alluding to Kibutsuji’s surname [鬼舞辻], that being ‘miserable demon dance’.

49. What fic of yours would you say is the best introduction to you as a writer?

This one is tricky! Most of my readers knew me from my Mugen Chronicles series. I don't mind it being an introduction to me, but the thing is it's definitely not something you should read casually since it's the darkest thing I've written. I'm also pretty indifferent to KnY so I sadly don't share the same enthusiasm of the readers who reach out to me to ask about the manga. I just wrote a series and dipped 😔

I'd like to be introduced through Green Light though! It's still in my brand of angst but warmer. I'd argue my whole Bright Light series is an antithesis to Mugen Chronicles. TR broke me so much with the tragedy that it inspired me to write something tender and hopeful for once lol. The issue in this one now is you can't expect a similar fic like GL because it really is that exception among my roster of works that are mostly angst and dark fics.

62. In [insert fic], is there a deleted scene/idea you wish you could have included? Why did it get cut?

I’ll just share about the other installments of the Bright Lights Series because I had some deleted scenes/ideas for them. Sadly, I can’t share much about the Benkei fic yet :((( 

❁ In What We Don’t Talk About, it was supposed to have two chapters: one set in Shin’s funeral and the other was somewhere in the Bonten future – but got scrapped. This is the only bit I was able to finish:

Takeomi thought the sun should fuck off.

The walls were splintered with gold from the blinds though that wasn't what roused him awake.

It was from the sound of footfalls.

Terribly familiar with each slow step that a part of him fell back to rest more comfortably as he slept over the Sano house for a night, second only to the early riser with the bedhead and the peeved face who began to pace around the room.

"Good morning."

But Shin wouldn't greet anyone first. You did.

That was when he truly woke up.

❁ If it wasn’t the Bonten future with Takeomi, I was going to continue on with a different spin-off in the canon timeline which is my untitled Mikey fic where MC stays with the Sanos after Shin’s death. I’m still planning to finish that Mikey fic someday now that we have his POV. The Manila fic for this one, Where I End And You Begin, is screwed-up (because Shin-less MC, Izana, and Mikey are all so awful to each other) and I’m too embarrassed to share more details about it tbh lol. Not sure if I’ll continue it, but I guess I’ll share a snippet:

"Those glasses look stupid on you."

You shrugged. "Mikey likes them on me."

Izana thought you doted on him too much.

"He's not here."

You sighed, removing your glasses in one swift movement and shelving them inside the drawer of your desk. Your eyes were on him, framed alone by the sets of your long lashes, and while you took him seriously, he loathed how he was still seen as that boy you met all those years ago.

You propped your chin over your folded hands. "Are you here just to tell me you don't like my glasses?"

"It's not like you needed them," he stated.

"Ah, an astute observation," which meant you intended to keep them and the impertinence should have you beaten. "What else?"

"You grew out your hair." His eyes lingered on your neck, but Izana didn't contemplate what your throat looked like slit open.

"I'll get it cut some other time."

"You shouldn't."

An order. Though it was one that didn't demand a lot from you and he figured there should be a change in how things were. You should be grateful.

❁ In Couldn’t Tell, I was supposed to write about Waka's mom. She sort of exists but doesn't play a big role. Him and MC were supposed to be that close and it was kind of endearing and sad too (Waka reminds me of Inui sometimes), though I had to cut it off because character-wise, it makes things both more complicated and irrelevant at the same time. He's always given off that vibe that he had to survive on his own like Benkei. Besides, the mother thing should just be between Shin and MC. Here’s a snippet:

The next time this happened again you bought him a candy bar, but Wakasa just invited you over hot pot under the insistence of his mother. You'd return back to being polite around them, but to his surprise, your laugh would echo over the walls from his mother's lame jokes. It's never usually this loud, unless she brought a close friend over. Then she'd sneak him a telling smile.

"Your mom's cool," you said, finding your place on the backseat of his motorbike.

Wakasa told you to never talk about this to anyone, but he didn't disagree. You didn't say a word about your mother.

66. What’s a fun fact about [insert fic]?

I already share a lot about Green Light in this blog. I guess I’ll just add the names of MC’s siblings. I’m not sure what more to share without spoiling.

Maybe, I should write about MC's heroic story (failure story). It went somewhere along the lines of during their high school years, MC kissed one of the girls that rejected Shin. It was more out of curiosity between her and them, but it ended there. The girl was genuinely interested in MC though she figured out that they didn't feel the same way for her after their first kiss. MC didn't tell anyone about it, except Waka.

[rainbowsky]

Hi RBS! I really appreciate all the time and effort you take to post long and insightful responses, I feel like I learn and widen my perspective a lot on these topics so firstly, thank you! I’d love to continue a discussion with you about some of the more engaging topics but I fear that I would write too much for this poor ask box 😅 Would it be ok if I were to just dm you? I don’t want to just randomly intrude and assume you’re open to a random lengthy discussion haha

Thanks, Anon, I'm glad you're enjoying my blog. 😊

I don't have any problem talking with people privately, and people can always feel free to DM me if they're comfortable being off Anon. I am always happy to chat when I have time.

Although if people have questions that would be of interest to other readers it's nice if they can be asked via my inbox so that the answers can be shared with everyone. If you aren't sure whether something is more suitable as an ask, please feel free to message me and we can discuss it.

I do prefer asks that are under 300 words. I think that fits in 3 or 4 asks IIRC? Each ask box accepts 500 characters (which is around 70 - 120 words). Please ensure they're numbered 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 etc. so it's clear what's part of your ask and whether I've got it all.

In my experience, I find that people who send more than that tend to be rambling, ranting or pontificating and often don't have a clear point or question. A word limit forces people to refine and clarify their thoughts, and to focus on what they want to know or say.

Occasionally someone will have a lot to say about a topic, and their thoughts on it will be more organized and clear, yet they'll still want to send it in to me as an ask. I find that a bit confusing, since there are so many other, better options for how to get those thoughts across than cramming them into a long ask I can't cut, or into multiple ask boxes.

I also find it a bit strange that people want to use my blog to share their detailed, lengthier thoughts, when this is a blogging platform everyone can use just as I do.

Here are a few options for people who have more to say than will fit into the ask box/word limit:

If it's in response to something I've posted, they can reblog my post and respond to it in the reblog. If you do this please use a cut if the text is lengthy. You can find instructions on how do that in this post.

They can respond in the notes of a post. It's fine to post multiple comments if that's what it takes to accommodate everything someone wants to say, although if it won't fit in more than 3 or 4 comments it's probably better to use a reblog.

If they have a lot to say, they can always make a post on their own blog about it, and tag me for a response (just type @rainbowsky and I will get a notification that I've been tagged). If they don't want to do it on their main they can always set up a side blog. Don't be afraid to try this! It's actually very rewarding - even empowering - to share thoughts in this way.

If you have something that you really feel will be of interest to me, but don't feel safe sharing off Anon (perhaps you're queer in a hostile region, or you're in a country where speaking political thoughts is not safe), then feel free to share a longer ask, but please realize I might not be able to post it in its entirety. I will do my best to maintain the integrity of your words and intent if I have to cut anything out.

I'm ultimately here to blog and exchange ideas in a broad way, so it's always going to be my preference to have discussions through my blog, but I often have private ones as well.

If people have things they want to discuss that they don't feel comfortable discussing publicly, or if they want to throw around ideas before submitting an ask, or if they simply want to chat, feel free to DM me.

[tmp-jatp]

so it’s encouragement day or something i think

most of you guys have already heard this from me but i’m gonna do it again, this time in public, so that you can hear it again and everyone can know how much i love you. this is by no means an exhaustive list so if you don’t see yourself on here please know it’s not because i don’t like you, just bc i’m human and can’t remember everyone all the time. but for those i am naming today, i want to share with you what i think your niche in the fandom is as a writer, or at least what i know you best for. you all do all of these things but to call out one unique thing for each of you, this is what i offer as my gift

first off: @pink-flame k. my friend. my bestie here in jatp land. you already know all this, like i said, but girl. fliomea was the first jatp fic i ever read and i wouldn’t have had it any other way. i remember reading every single chapter of wfw each night it came out and it was the highlight of my day, every day. and then the chapters spread out further bc fair, daily 4k chaps is an insane schedule, and each new chapter was a surprise present. the way i say to everyone is this: you write the epics. that’s your signature here in the fandom. that’s your “thing”. you create entire worlds and it feels like i’ve opened my eyes again i’m reading a ya novel. even when it’s not an epic, like the bodyguard au, it’s still so good. fliomea and wfw are two of the most iconic fics in this fandom and two of the most memorable fics i’ve ever read in my life. hello?? beatrice, anyone? queenie? sammi? josie? wonderland??? iconic. one of the other “things”, i wanna note, is how much you write bobby, and you write him so well. you’ve made all of us love bobby, and you’ve made me love you.

@thedeathdeelers immy i love you so much. you’re my other jatp bestie. i love saying good morning to you at midnight and then again at nine. you have so many wonderful ideas for stories, and you make the best headcanons. that is your “thing” in the fandom. also the way that you’re always shouting about soulmates. i couldn’t imagine this place without you here, and we’d all be worse off if you weren’t. your reggie and ray drabbles bring fresh air to my lungs. whenever i see that someone’s reblogged something from you, i go through the notes to see your rb so i can read all your tags, because i can’t get enough of what you have to say. your headcanons are basically canon to me. you’re my number one rubber duck and i love you. don’t stop screaming about juke. ever. (<3)

@pearlcaddy your “thing” is the pining. also your dialogue. that’s pretty clear to all of us, i think. but i love the way that you put the jatp cast of characters into places that you’ve lived. you use what you know to write stories that feel so rich and alive. wizarding world, usc, ireland. these settings come to life and you solder the plot and characters’ emotions to the settings in a way that makes them unable to exist without one another. not only your worldbuilding and your pining, but your dialogue is stellar. (haha i didn’t even mean to do that) there’s always something that sticks out and has stayed with me, and i’ve told you before, but now for the benefit of anyone else reading this: remember “cold or frozen”. remember “string obedient woman”. remember “julie stellar molina”. you write some of the best alex and reggie, too. you've made me laugh, you've made me cry, you’ve made me start listening to jukebox the ghost, i love you.

@blush-and-books chloe you’re the one i spoke to most recently but i wanna say basically the same things (and more) again for the world to hear how much i love your stories. while pearlcaddy’s settings feel huge and awesome, your settings all feel small, like home. everything you write, i can feel. i’m there. i’m sitting in the auditorium while auditions for the music man begin, feeling the excitement for the new show and smelling that smell of the seats and the walls and the air. i’m standing on the loose gravel in the alley out to the side of the orpheum with the buzzing red light of the “ex-t” sign glowing up there and it feels humid. i’m in the library at my own table, trying hard to hide my own smile as i watch the looks being passed between the boy reading to the kids and that girl who is clearly not studying even though she’s trying to make it seem so. i’m in julie’s room and i see the ring on her finger and the fanny pack on the chair and the leather jacket hanging in the closet. your “thing” is that you have such a unique attention to detail that captures the scene and the feeling of what’s going on impeccably. perfectly. something about your way to capture the literal air of every room, i can feel it, i can smell it. i can’t get enough of what you write, and i love you.

@lydias--stiles ophelia i’ve never said a word to you ever except for in the ao3 comment box and that changes today. you’re so good at fluff but you’re right when you say that angst is where you excel. i haven’t read as much of your stuff as i’d like to have (read: all of it), but that’s definitely gonna change in the future. calm in the storm is such a gritty story but it also feels so real. you don’t hold back. i don’t know your work well enough to definitively say what your “thing” is. i’d like to, though. all i know is that today i was thinking of the way that soul and love tasted purple at anima and i went back to that fic to ctrl-f for every time you said “purple”. your stuff might not be on the front of my mind all the time, but it’s there, in my memory, and it won’t ever leave. 

@bluefirewrites your stuff is good as canon to me, even though most of it is au. like ophelia, i don’t know your “thing” because i don’t know your writing well enough to say, even though i’ve read most of it. stupid cupid and doodled shoes have me on the edge of my seat right now and i love reading every new chapter. your juke’s dynamics are so uniquely you and even though they’re different across your fics, your julie and your luke are so perfect and somehow always the same, but different. do you feel me? probably not. i think i’m trying to say i love the way you interpret the characters. they feel canon, but also they don’t in the best way possible. exmas is another iconic fic, and knock three times, too. you do so many things so well that i can’t pick just one that stands out above the rest.

i love so many of you guys that i haven’t listed here. so many fics i read i just wanna shower you with all the love but it’s late so i go to sleep and i leave the tab open so in the morning i can comment but by then i’ve lost most of the specific things i wanted to say. so know that i’m always trying to be profound and all that stuff like i tried to be here, but sometimes i fail terribly. happy jatp appreciation day or whatever today is, everyone.

[husbandhoshi]

I actually worked at Starbucks for about 3.5 years! I have a few orders that I keep on rotation based on what I’m in the mood for, which I determine based on this order, which I recommend everyone to use:

Do I want hot or iced, and then do I want coffee or something else, and then do I want caffeine or no caffeine

And I have a go to order for each of those things hahaha. But one of my faves is for sure just a pink drink. I’m hanging out with my friend tomorrow and I’m gonna pick her brain about her job and such!

Hanging out with your family should be fun, yeah? Family can be stressful sometimes so maybe not? Either way! When you do your embarrassing amount of shopping , what are your favorite stores? I have a usual route that I take for those days haha.

Thank you for the tips! I worried after I sent that you’d think I just wanted you to reblog my things, and I definitely don’t wanna use you for exposure or anything! The bullet pointing tip was very useful! I’ll definitely message some other people too, but I really appreciate the pointer. Once again I hope all is well, sorry this was so long hahaha, sending you love!

OMG ofc leave it up to lily to say she can recommend starbucks to a sbucks veteran LMAO but ok that is the same line of questioning i do!!! my go to drink is usually an oatmilk shaken espresso but my stores have been out of toffee nut lately (😭) so i’ve been getting a lot of iced teas! pink drinks are always sooo good tho i definitely always have a craving for them too!

and what job does your friend have? have fun hanging out!! and yeah i love my family, we’re super close and they’re pretty chill most of the time :’) exhausting too though so i totally know what you mean. as for shopping my go to stores are usually like Trendy Adult ™ stores which is kind of embarrassing but either i thrift or go to like american eagle lmao but i’m trying to expand my jewelry collection so maybe diff stores ?

and no worries!!! i wouldn’t think you’re using me for publicity & i don’t even have that much of a following to be very useful in that regard haha ! but i’d be happy to look over and rb ur stuff, just lmk 🥰

1. Why did you choose your url?

6. Why did you choose your icon?

Check-In Tag

Stole this from @cluelesslesbian bc it looks fun and i'm bored >:)c (yes I should be doing homework, no don't worry abt it)

anyone who wants to do this, go ahead and say I tagged u bc i'm officially tagging u mentally rn <3

1. why did you choose your url?

LOL because I came back to tumblr solely to be an Until Dawn blog. When Rush of Blood came out I was lucky enough to snag a canon URL so I've held onto it ever since!

2. any side blogs? if you have them: name them and why you have them

Um ok like a million. I'm not going to tag them all but I have one that's just for random posts I want to find later/don't feel like tagging, my old art one (rip), my miraculous ladybug one, my total drama one, my art archive one, uhhhhhhhhhh a vent one, ummm idk probably a lot more i'm forgetting :')

3. how long you’ve been on tumblr?

too long LMAO. This blog was made in 2016 but my original blog was made in March 2013!

4. do you have a queue tag?

yesssss #nice queuein' tex

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

This one I really only started because I got this URL, but when I started my OG, it was bc I had a couple friends telling me to get tumblr :)

6. why did you choose your icon?

Aughhhh it's my FAVOURITE THING EVER!!! I commissioned it from @reallyhardydraws and I'm not sure I'll change it bc I'm obsessed w/ it. Plus it matches the url haha.

7. why did you choose your header?

I think I've had the same one since I first started this blog? It's just a random picture I took a long time ago while going through the mountains.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

The cinematic parallels one LOOL. I think it's at 145k as of today? And then after that it's that name one at around 115k I think. I'm still holding out for orple juice though 😤

44, not counting doubles :)

11. how many people do you follow?

um when have I not. lbr that's this blog's legacy. even when I was solely an until dawn blog, I was popular for memes and shit posts.

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

usually once in the morning, once or twice in the afternoon, then twice in the evening. idk bc I don't follow a ton of ppl I usually catch up with my dash in like 10 minutes tops.

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

yes <3 i used to get into a lot of until dawn drama bc I was fed up with the tag being exclusively ppl hating on ashley and/or emily. now i'm old and don't really care enough to, plus the fandom is practically dead. in those cases idk if anyone won bc usually both sides were too stubborn to change their opinions.

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

hate them. if a post says that I will not reblog it. I hate the guilt-trippiness of it. I don't rlly care when ppl I follow rb them tho, it's more just the person who says "you need to reblog this" that gets on my nerves lol.

16. do you like tag games?

yes bc I love talking abt myself!! <3

17. do you like ask games?

see above! <3 <3

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

19. do i have a crush on a mutual?

hahahahahahahahahaha 🤩🤩🤩idk maybe but @alternative-girlfriend is cute 😳

[fangroyal]

I was tagged by @skeptiquewrites! Thank you so much! 🖤🖤🖤

1. why did you choose your url?

Fangqueen has been my username on every other platform for...idk, probably like 12 years at this point. And most importantly, it’s the name I publish my fanfiction under on AO3, so I figured it was about time my Tumblr matched.

2. sideblogs?

I used to have blogs for rp characters I played......but yeah. We don’t talk about that. 😅 I’ve deleted them all since then anyway - except for one that was special to me. So no sideblogs, I just dump everything on here, haha! Unless you count my blogs for the fests I run, @rondracofest and @hpcrackficfest.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

Ten years in September, babyyyyyy! 😂 Of course, I’ve changed my username a couple times over the years, but yeah, I’ve been on this crazy site for ten fucking years, wth.

4. do you have a queue tag?

I have to be honest, I either rb immediately, or schedule for a specific time later on. Literally didn’t even use my queue till I started doing fic recs, haha. So I guess I could technically say it’s #fangqueen recs fics, ‘cause those are the only posts I use it for.

5. why did you start your blog?

Honestly, it was so long ago, I have no idea, lol! Probably because other places I’d frequented prior to that time (and sometimes still do), like LJ/DW/IJ, Hex, etc., were kind of starting to die out, and I heard Tumblr was cool(??? 😂), so I decided to check it out.

6. why did you choose your icon?

This picrew is adorable, and actually looks pretty close to me in real life, haha! Plus it had flag/button options for both bisexual and bigender, and I couldn’t pass that up.

7. why did you choose your header?

I’m fangqueen. It’s fangs. That’s pretty much it, LOL.

8. post with most notes?

I honestly have no idea how you would even find out something like this. 😂 I looked on my activity page, but it’ll only let me go back as far as a month. So in the last month, my top post has been me talking about why I love Dron.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

Again, no clue where I’d find this info, but I’m sure quite a few!

10. how many followers do you have?

385

11. how many people do you follow?

354

12. ever made a shitpost?

Oh, probably have, although I can’t remember what it would’ve been now.

13. how often do you use Tumblr each day?

HA.

Okay, sorry, I’ll be serious. 😂😂😂 I work from home atm, and I have my personal computer up and running next to me as well the whole day, soooooo........A better question might be, how often do I not?

14. did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

I don’t think so, no. I don’t know if it’s ‘cause I’ve been a smaller blog most of the time, or because I just don’t normally get involved in that sort of thing, but nah. I’m also never afraid to block people, so maybe it’s that, haha.

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

As a person who’s suffered from anxiety disorder most of their life, I’m very much against those kinds of posts. I know what it feels like to be trapped between having a bad mental health day and not feeling like I have the ability to read/deal with whatever the post’s talking about, and also having a bad mental health day and feeling like I’d somehow be a bad person if I didn’t. I don’t think merely clicking the rb button on fucking Tumblr dot com automatically makes you a good/bad person, and I don’t think it’s right to play with people’s emotions and anxieties about such things just to spread your message. What you choose to put on your blog is up to you, and what you choose to devote your mental time and energy to is up to you. It’s always fine to say “this is important, but I don’t have the capacity to engage with it right now” and skip the rb.

16. do you like tag games?

I fucking LOVE them, I have to be honest with you, haha! I get so excited whenever I’m tagged in one.

17. do you like ask games?

Yes, I also really love ask games. I have no idea why, haha. They’re just really fun to me.

18. which of your tumblr friends/mutuals do you think is famous?

Oh shit...I also have no idea how I’d determine this, but I’m sure in terms of Drarry fandom, I’m probably mutuals with at least a couple famous people. 😅

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

Does my husband count? @digitalspecter 🤭😘. But for real, if we’re mutuals and we talk often, yes, guaranteed I likely have a huge friend-crush on you. Hope y’all know who you are! LOL! 💕

I’m gonna go ahead and tag @veelawings, @peachpety, @the-starryknight, and @digitalspecter - if you’ve already done it or don’t feel like it, no pressure whatsoever!

[blossom-hwa]

Hii, I’m currently reading your kingdom series and I am very much immersed in the storyline and am very excited to see what comes next!! Your writing is very beautiful and it gives of this very sophisticated vibe haha. I have a question that sounds kind of stupid, but I know that a lot of content creators ask people to rb their works, but for users who like have zero followers and just exist, are asks/comments sending feedback enough? I feel like rbs would just be kind of useless in that case. Have a lovely day :)

Hi anon! First off, thank you so much for reading and enjoying Kingdom - your praise of my writing really means a lot to me! 

(Don’t mind me just spinning around in my chair for a moment to savor this compliment - sophisticated???? I’m tearing up I love you)

Second off, your question isn’t stupid at all - it’s very understandable, in my opinion. I think I can get the feeling of having no followers and just wondering if there’s any point to rbing with tags when you can just send an ask instead. I want to say that I’d still love it if you reblogged, even if you don’t have any followers or anything - you never know who can see your blog and decide to scroll down for a bit just to take a longer look. I ask for reblogs over asks/comments (of course those are still very appreciated!) just for this reason, that chance that someone will see the work and maybe take the opportunity to pass it on. 

Like I said, asks and comments are always appreciated - I love to receive any and all feedback on my works. However, ultimately, they’re not what circulate the content. Regardless of how many followers you have, the chance that someone will see content you enjoyed if you just send an ask/write a comment is next to zero, while that probability goes up, even if by a small amount, if you put it on your own blog. It’s not useless at all - not everyone writes or creates content or just has a large following in general, but spreading work on the off chance that someone will see it is how content creators get their feedback/recognition. 

(Also, tags just make me inordinately happy for no reason?? I don’t think it’s a logical thing lmao it’s just that seeing someone liked my work enough to not just reblog but also write some comments always makes my day in a way that asks/replies don’t seem to cut it. This could just be a me thing though!)

Anyway, that’s my take on your question! Others might have different opinions and that’s perfectly fine, but basically I just think that a small chance of people seeing the work in a reblog is infinitely better than a zero chance of seeing it if there are only replies/asks. I hope you understand but if you don’t, feel free to let me know if you want any further explanation :) thank you again for reading Kingdom, anon, and I hope you keep enjoying the series and the rest of my works!

That grammy tweet u rb basically boiled down to " haha an arists of colour i dislike didnt win bc of racial bias !"

The conversation wasn't about how kpop appropriates black culture ( and yes all kpop ,voted a group u dislike) but about how poc no matter how successful will never be awarded or treated the same ( both important yet not the time for the 1st one)

So not really the time for that ,especially when grammys clearly them used to promote the entire show

How despicable can ppl get that they celebrated and applaud racism while also stanning poc eh..kpop stans ( that account did that later)

I dont like the weekend yet i can clearly see how he was robbed

ah, okay, here’s the tweet i reblogged in question.

personally when i reblogged this i took it to mean all nonblack artists who benefit from black aesthetics (like many many western artists), not specifically bts (as they are not mentioned), although i see now that the poster is most likely a kpop fan and talking about them.

uhh feel free to disagree with me but pointing out how black creators have been robbed of awards in favor of those who are simply profiting from their aesthetics isn’t...”not the conversation” as you put it? it’s a separate conversation that needs to happen as well. also, i’d like to point out, it’s a conversation that is and has been brought up around every major western awards show for years, whether a kpop group is in attendance at all. 

an issue that i see with your perspective is that it centers kpop and a group you are a fan of in a much older, larger, conversation. the way i see it, the conversation hinted at in the above tweet is about the appropriation of black aesthetics to gain legitimacy(???? the stereotypical “black cool factor” ???), and you are inserting kpop into it rather than the other way around.

i’m not going to adjudicate whether bts deserved to win or not, i don’t watch award shows or listen to their music so i don’t really care tbh. i know enough to say that in the past bts has faced racism in the western music scene (for example, the creation of the kpop category at the bbmas (less talked about since it’s in our more distant past but the fact that a latin category exists too is really??? questionable, to say the least, especially when artists in either category are eating artists from the US alive in terms of mv views and streams at least.)) I think that it’s possible to have discussions about the difficulties that bts and antiblack racism perpetuated by them and many, many, many others without delegitimizing either one.

based on what you’ve said i think it might be worthwhile to consider why you perceive discussions of antiblack racism as a racist attack on nonblack poc and an act that “applauds racism.”

i’m going to assume that you sent this ask as well, and i would refer you to what was said previously. once again, the tweet says “nonblack people,” not asians. and while i do believe that there is great value in focusing on a common oppressor, the role of nonblack poc (not just asians!) in contributing to the oppression of black people is also important. 

i believe that we are capable than having a more nuanced conversation than the one that you perhaps inadvertently advocate for.

I think Mrs. Michael Burnham deserves just. One nice day. At the very least

There should be an episode where she’s got like a day off or smthn. Tilly has dedicated herself to making sure Michael has a good day. There’s just a bunch random insane bullshit happening in the A and B plot, like idk Staments trying to clone a tardigrade and it being like feral or something, and then we just cut back to Tilly doing Michael’s nails

Reasons I have more than 1 name:

1. Gender greed

2. You know how dragons hoard gold? I hoard names and pronouns

3. If you have like 12 names how are the Fae ever going to figure out your True name?

- Like. They try call me “(birth name) ‘Blue’ ‘Pluto’ (last name)” and I’m just like “haha nice try buddy, u got 4/10, better luck next time”

4. I am secretly the demon that shows up and steals everyone’s gender and name in the middle of the night. I don’t use all the names but they’re in my possession. So they’re mine now.

- if u are reading this I stole ur gender. No u cannot have it back. Ur welcome.

5. I’m indecisive so instead of choosing one name I hit cntrl + a

6. It’s my gender and if I want to selfishly hoard names I can

7. Light yagami will never be able to kill me

I feel like any time I hear a question that’s like “what would you do with a million dollars?” My first instinct is “pay off any debts, save enough so there’s always food in the pantry, take care of my family, donate as much as possible, pay off people’s medical bills, etc etc”

And I think a lot of people jump to those same answers. Partly bc they’re logical and partly bc like we live in a capitalist hell world

But like those answers are, while valid, depressing and boring. I don’t wanna have to apply reality to a fun hypothetical

So. Instead here’s my question. Let’s say we live in a perfect world where all human suffering has been completely eradicated. All of it. There is literally no one in the world who needs or wants any sort of help.

I want to know what you’d buy with a million dollars. Actually, no. You now have infinite money. What are you buying? Are you going to commission a book? Blow a thousand dollars on video game micro transactions? Buy a tiara made of genuine gold and jewels?

Be as gaudy as possible. Be as selfish and money wasting as possible. (The only rule is you’re not allowed to buy things for other ppl)

So rb and tell me what you’d do with infinite money

Everyone’s talking about gender envy what about the other 7 deadly gender sins?

Gender envy: I want your gender

Gender wrath: your gender makes me so angry. I am probably jealous but will not admit it. I will probably end up with a different gender sin and possibly steal your gender

Gender sloth: chilling in sweatpants and a shirt that says “any pronouns idc”

Gender lust: whatever lil nas x is doing in montero

Gender gluttony: stealing other ppl’s abandoned genders

Gender greed: hoarding pronouns/names/ids like a trans dragon

Gender pride: that shit cis ppl do that more trans ppl should do

Xtians: it is our judeo-xtian values to listen to g-d and do exactly as he asks and listen to the Bible exactly. It is not for us to interpret.

Jews, banging the tables: WAS THE FROG PLAUGE ONE BIG FROG OR ALOT OF LITTLE ONES? WAS IT A BIG FROG THAT SPIT MORE LITTLE FROGS? DID IT GET CUT IN HALF AND RELEASE A HUBDRED THOUSAND FROGS? DID THEY WORK LIKE MINECRAFT SLIMES?? ARE THE FROGS A METAPHOR???? WHO FUCKING KNOWS

Get your Tumblr 2021 Year in Review →

[kponion]

no worries about the late reply. we all have lives outside of tumblr. at least hopefully we do. i'm a bit late now too. fyi it frustrates me when i come to your blog and see posts i'm dying to rb but then i'd reveal myself pfft

nah kpop problem is a nice problem to have. we could do worse. thanks for doing the list for me, i love checking people's bias lists. namjoon, renjun, love, seungkwan <3 is victon's sejun that guy who has a crater dimple? i once reblogged a gifset only for that dimple...

nice songs you picked. love me now <3 i love baby don't stop so much but i'm also a little bit biased bc ten and taeyong. thanks for the youngblood cover rec! loved that, their voices <3 have you seen the spark mv yet? not that there is much to see if you're not a fan of the drama but it has little bit of the boys too.

ok so on the topic of music videos. i don't remember if i listed mvs as to why i love kpop but they are a huge part. i have a yt playlist for my fave kpop mvs, it's about 100 vids and i'm positive it's missing gems since i'm still so new to kpop and i definitely haven't seen everything. i like to rewatch mvs a lot.

once again it's hard to list any fave mvs without it ending up being a mile long list. i love so many. i think i'm generally into ones with lots of cool choreo but i do like some other kinds too, like story driven a la bts spring day. other faves are stray kids god's menu, taemin advice (choreo! outfits! styling! back up dancers!), bts mic drop and fake love and blood sweat and tears, ateez thanxx (vibrant is what i would call it), bts stay gold (it's so pretty and colourful and hopeful, gives me good vibes), enhypen drunk-dazed (the vampire concept and i lovelove the choreo and outfits), everglow first, agust d daechwita and bts idol (both have these traditional korean influences which i love), onlyoneof libido (besides the sultry choreo i love the daring themes for a korean group), red velvet peek-a-boo, bts black swan (gorgeous location and dance plus they all look so damn good in all black), ateez illusion (always brings a smile to my face, love the cute pastel concept with dark undertones in the lyrics), exo obsession (creepy and badass and i love it), hyuna i'm not cool (little bit weird in the best way), so many of nct mvs like simon says and kick it and make a wish and cherry bomb and uhhh maybe i should stop here. it ended up being a messy mile long list anyway, i apologise. i don't really know how else to say what i love in mvs. does these even give any kind of general view on what i like? idk. i don't think i dislike anything? maybe i just don't fixate that much on things i don't like, so i forget about them.

what are some of your fave mvs? can you say what you like and dislike in mvs?

-☀️🌙

I sure hope we all do too. So no worries! And haha, i can understand the struggle. You just have to go back and reblog everything once this is over, haha.

No problem! I think i's fun to talk about to! And crater dimple is accurate lol. Sejun really has the deepest dimple (almost everyone in victon has dimples, it's insane and i'm so weak for dimples it's not even funny).

Thanks for the reminder, i watched spark now! It was really good. And the drama looks super cute, maybe i should check it out.

Wow, that's quite a list, but don't apologise! I also think mvs are one of the reasons kpop is so interesting. They put so much into them, the production value must be insane. You've listed a lot good ones! Love the camera work and the cuts in skz's god's menu. And i also love mvs with traditional korean concepts/influences like idol, daechwita, oneus' lit, and a.c.e's goblin (favourite boys). (if you love traditional korean concepts you should check out a.c.e's version of arirang if you haven't seen it already, it's mind-blowingly good).

I especially have two mvs i will never shut up about. The first one is cix's jungle. It's just stunning in every way. The concept is fantastic, it's inspired by dante's divine comedy. It has some of the most beautiful scenes i've ever seen in a mv. And the choreo cuts are great, just the fact that they're dancing in water hhhhhnnnnn.

The second one is golden child's burn it. It's not even a mv, it's a wholeass zombie movie. It's so cool and beautiful and just heartbreaking. I almost cried when i saw it the first time.

I think i especially like mvs with a storyline. I find those more interesting. Honorable mentions are monsta x's all in and stray kids' side effects. Oh, and onlyoneof's libido, bc holy shit, that was something else. But then i also have a big soft spot for bright and goofy mvs, i love those. Like n.flying's the real and hot potato, skz's awkward silence and get cool, astro's breathless, and exo's power.

Oh, and i also have to mention kang daniel's paranoia, that one blew me away. And onewe's rain to be, love what they did with that one.

Lol i also ended up writing a whole essay. And i've probably forgotten mvs i love. Anyway, hope you have a nice day (or whatever time of day it is for you now)!

hi. hello. this is a bit embarrassing but i'm trying to buy my bf a tablet sort of thing so he can draw his arts. he's been wanting one forever but hasn't rly shown me which one he wants. i want to surprise him n buy a good one worth the money n was just curious if you had any suggestions. i've looked into wacom products, but i'm just such a noob to these things n was hoping you can help... i understand if this is silly, you don't have to reply! ur just so amazing, ur opinion is trustworthy 😅☺️

Okay, so, this is just my opinion and since it’s based completely on personal experiences it’s gonna possibly be incredibly different from other people’s opinions, so I just wanna make clear from the start that this is a personal preference and isn’t in any way meant as an absolute truth

Anyway, as far as I’m concerned when you’re just starting out you don’t need anything fancy at all. As an aspiring digital artist your bf might have looked up tablets and cried tears of blood over how much he’d like a cintiq or anything similar, but my very personal opinion is that fancy stuff is gonna be pretty much useless to you and be generally a waste of money? You’re just learning, you don’t need anything more than the basics. My suggestion is that you pick something simple and easy to use - I own this wacom intuos, had it for a long while and I like it a lot, but there’s also less expensive options you can go for too that people seem to like just as much! I’ve lately read on my dash about the Huion H610, they say it doesn’t cost much at all but it’s just as good as the Intuos, that could be a good option for you~

Anon said:  Hey!!! I was wondering if its ok to rb your oc art? I realized a lot less people rb those and i get anxious easily so... also i really don't want to disrespect either! But i always thought of rebloging as a way of saying "i appreciate your art" and i really really (really ) like yours (both the style and itself in general). (I hope you dont mind my bad english ha ha) i hope you don't mind this stupid ask! Im still kind of new to tumblr

It’s 100% okay!!!! *O* Thank you for liking them enough to want to reblog them ;A; !!!!

Aw anon I’m super happy you like my stuff for those three but as of now inspiration in that department is... super low... and tbh the haikyuu fandom is being incredibly unresponsive and non-vocal about their appreciation of fanworks in this period so even when I do have ideas for that fandom I sort of. Let them go. Or just sketch them out and never finish them.

Like, you know the whole deal about having to draw for yourself and not for others? That’s what I do 100% of the times when I’m starting a drawing, but to draw for myself I don’t exactly need to finish a drawing, you know? Sometimes there’s a scene I wanna see and I sketch it out in a super rough way and as far as my personal desire to see it goes I’m satisfied with that, and everything after that - the cleaning and lining and maybe even coloring - I put the effort in it because I want to share it with people. And the deal with the Hq!! fandom lately is that they don’t share my excitement for it. They either only like it, or don’t comment on it, or comment only to complain about this or that thing. In the worst case posting hq!! only ends up with people asking me to draw something else (ie I feel like drawing Karasuno so I draw it and post it and no one comments/rb/says anything about it but there’s 20 asks in my inbox asking me why I haven’t drawn any bok*ro lately)

When I think about posting stuff for hq lately I automatically compare it to posting stuff for bnha where I could draw a background character that appeared once 120 chapters ago and there’s still gonna be people that go “yes! that character!! I love that character!!! can’t believe there’s actual art for it oh my god!!!!” - that’s... that’s the sort of reaction that makes you wanna share stuff

I dunno, maybe I’m just expecting too much out of the hq fandom. But anyway, sharing for bnha makes me way happier and glad I decided to finish a drawing lately, so I guess that’s what’s happening there.

Anon said:Johnny is a fucking angel dammit. Have you read the new DGM already?? I'm in tears. I love this manga so much. The frequency of the releases are killing me... it has such a great story and great characters. It needs more love

I did read it!!!! And yeah the fandom used to be way bigger, but honestly I’m glad it’s just the couple dozens people it is. Like a small town where everyone knows everyone else. No drama, no discourse. Everyone ships what they want and we all pass each other tissues to dry the tears. The only argument that happens regularly is people complaining about the relase schedule and the old fans telling them to let Hoshino live. A good place, this fandom’s a good place.

DGM was my playground for most of my experimenting as far as creating art goes, I really did reach in all directions with it through the years and it helped me shape myself a lot, so I really want it to stay quiet and nice and peaceful, that’s my dream for it haha smaller fandoms have a better chance to keep that freedom

Anon said: Oh man, I live for that Togata x Amajiki interaction

You talking about the color spread cause yes that was adorable!!! ;A;

Anon said:I look a little, and do you still draw Bakugo x Kirishima x Kaminari?

Sure, it’s still my main ship for Kaminari and my main ot3! Just wait for Denki to start being relevant in the manga again, I’ll probably fall headfirst into it all over again haha

Anon said:Your art is so wonderful you're wonderful everything's so wonderful i'm crying omg

SOB no anon you’re wonderful!!!!

Anon said:Due to my brain not wanting to cooperate with me (ever), Bakugou Katsuki is now Batsuki Katsuki in my head.

Anon said:Artistic!Mina making pop art and colorful paintings :o what are ur thoughts

HELL YES that’s my main headcanon for Mina, she’s definitely an artsy girl!!! I like the idea of her sharing it with Bakugou t b h

Anon said:I'm still just repeatedly looking at your newest KiriBaku because hot damn.

Anon said:Heyy please rec Kami comics please! I'm in a Kami art shortage and I currently can't find art as awesome as yours...
