“Not without a fight, huh?” She quirks an eyebrow. 

“That’s alright–that’s simply part of getting to know someone, I think. Besides, I'm partial to puzzles," She smiles lightly.

"Although, to be honest–” She places two fingers across her lips. “I hadn’t really considered a prize. ...Would the satisfaction of a job well done be enough?” She laughs.

[hi, i decided to make autumn an independent oc & create a separate account for her c:]

Get to know your mutuals!

Thanks to @silcobrainrot for tagging me. 💜

What's the origin of your blog title?

The danger must be growing is a line from a song in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was my favorite book as a kid, and I've never grown out of my Willy Wonka obsession. lmfao.

OTP(s)+ shipnames(s):

God, I've shipped so much over my lifetime. My most beloved (in no particular order):

SessRin - Inuyasha

Leshley aka EagleOne - Resident Evil 4

Jilco aka Bombshark - Arcane

Snamione - Harry Potter

Mithen - Resident Evil 7

Mia/Heisenberg (they don't have an official ship name bc they're a crack rarepair that I basically made up) - Resident Evil 8

Bethyl - The Walking Dead

Sanrion - Game of Thrones/ASOIAF

V/ergil/my OC(s) - Devil May Cry

Shane/my OC - Stardew Valley

Pierre/my OC - Stardew Valley

I feel like I'm forgetting some, but that's enough. Pfft.

Favourite color:

Purple.

Song stuck in your head:

Backslide - Twenty One Pilots. But they're always stuck in my head, so that's nothing new.

Weirdest habit/trait:

Idk, man. I feel like I'm a fucking weirdo in general. Not in a "pick me" way, but like in a way that if most people saw me in my natural habitat, they'd shoot me.

Hobbies:

Writing, 3d rendering, reading, video games. Crocheting, when the mood strikes.

If you work, what's your profession?

I'm an independent contractor that provides administrative support to non-profit organizations in a virtual setting. So, I work from home, make my own hours, and can pick and choose the clients I want to work for. It's taken me a long time to get to this point, and it's pretty nice.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

I often think... wow, it would be so cool to earn cash from writing or rendering. But the reality is that I'm not cut out for creating those things to be consumed by a mass audience. I'm way too self-indulgent, and my creativity hinges on hyper-fixation.

So, the real answer is nothing. I hate working. Lmfao.

Something you're good at:

I like to think I'm pretty good at writing and 3d rendering. I've been writing since I was a literal child, but I only started rendering about a year ago? Maybe a little less. I'm completely self taught, and I'm happy with how much skill I've picked up in such a short amount of time.

Something you hate:

Antis in fandom. It's so stupid.

The state of my country right now. The US is spiraling the shitter.

Lots of other things, but it's mostly tedious stuff that doesn't really matter.

Something you collect:

Random fandom merch.

Something you forget:

Everything. lmfao. Adult ADHD is super fun.

What's your love language:

Acts of service.

Favourite movie/show:

Movie: Single movie - Fight Club. Otherwise it's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Show: Arcane and Futurama.

Favourite food:

Spaghetti.

Favourite animal:

Wildlife: Racoons. They're so cute.

Domestic: Cats. I've had cats all my life, and I have 3 now (Pippin, Gimli, and Purrnie)

What were you like as a child:

Shy and anxious.

Favourite subject at school:

English and literature.

Least favourite subject:

Math. Not bc I was bad at it, but bc it bored me.

What's your best character trait?

I'm kinda witty and funny sometimes.

What's your worst character trait?

I'm a borderline hermit level introvert, so I can be standoffish and self-isolate for weeks to months at a time.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

I have Lupus. I wish there was a cure for that.

I'll only tag @maylilithreign this time bc I think it'll be fun to read her answers. (No pressure, of course.)

I need to build more on Kake. Like. Yeah I have his backstory kinda vaguely done, and sorta how he acts, but I wanna go deeper.

I have vague ideas for each of the things i'm listing and I'll get into those later but for now I'm listing them

AA

I need to figure out what sort of job he'd have. Where does he live. What does the house look like. Does he "work from home" in a sort of way like Simon? How did they meet?

Well. Here's my thoughts:

For a job...?

Kake is an artist. Ranging from Ceramics, to canvas, just about anything. Like. He's a strange little man whose only memories the past thousand years were dreams, and now he's been awake for 12 years, maybe he'd make some amazing or unsettling art. Plus he has six arms, you cannot tell me that wouldn't be useful for painting or sculpting. I can't count the amount of times I'd be in the middle of sculpting something and wishing I had more hands. Or trying to paint something and wishing the same thing.

I feel like he'd like more hands on work. And the relaxing kind. He could sit for hours and just sculpt. He loves it. If you tried to take him to do something that requires more heavy lifting or physical work, he'd probably get exhausted quickly. He works at a desk or sitting most of the time, he doesn't do a lot of cardio.

Where he lives/what does his house look like/does he work from home...?

Well. Sorta. Yeah.

I've always kind of liked to design buildings in my head, but if I try to put it on paper it doesn't look right. I like to think he'd have a large house. One he lives in alone, but is filled with paintings and art he's made over the years, and he does have spare rooms for people to stay in if they want to come over, he just... doesn't have many friends. (Literally only knows Finn and Simon. Finn is always adventuring, and he's too shy to ask Simon if he wants to hang out because he thinks he'd bother him)

I think Kake would live in some sort of building that doubles as his house and his studio. It's always clean, despite having art projects all over. He thinks he's too messy, really it's all just clutter. He struggles with trying to get his art pieces sold (specifically ones he just does on a whim). Not because they don't look good, but because sometimes the feelings he had when painting them are so personal, and it feels like he would lose a piece of himself if it was gone. Hes already lost so much of himself and who he used to be, what if it happens again?

(I'm pretty sure he would figure out during his 12 years of consciousness that his "memories" were actually just dreams and he didn't know any of the people he was talking about. That they probably weren't even real in the first place. Could you imagine how sad that is?? To realize that every memory you had wasn't real? Just dreams you had while asleep for 1000 years, and you have no idea who you used to be?? Anyway.)

This one's a bit off topic from the thought it's for, but I feel like Kake's hands would be super soft. This is because he does take good care of himself, and when working with clay, your hands will dry out if you don't take care of them after. Lots of lotion. He hates when his hands feel rough, they easily catch on certain fabrics and such. (Kake is autistic because I'm autistic and I can't make a neurotypical OC even if I wanted to) so thus, Kake would have a variety of lotions kept in the bathroom, they all smell nice. He likes nice smells.

Any furniture or carpet or blankets and clothes he has are sensory friendly. If you have a specific fabric that makes your skin itch when you touch it, you'll never find it at Kake's. Because again, since his house doubles as his studio, the whole thing is about being able to focus more on your work and interests when you're in a safe and comfortable environment.

That being said, there have been times where he accidentally spills paint on his favorite fuzzy slippers and he cries about it.

How did they meet?

I feel like Finn accidentally came across Kake on an adventure. I mean. Like. Kake was sleeping in a cave for 1000 years dude. Probably didn't look so good. Finn probably helped Kake adjust to society for the most part. The people didn't surprise him at all and neither did the world. (Again, Kake has been dreaming for 1000 years. Probably thought of some weird stuff) first couple years into consciousness, Kake would drink at the candy tavern, and mourn his "lost love" (Morgause from the tales of King Arthur.)

Here's where we go into the first meeting between him and Simon.

Simon is initially interested in Kake because "woah, a dude from before even my time? I wonder what he knows about!" Cause he's a nerdy antiquarian. They drink together and converse, and Simon pieces together that Kake might be a little crazy, or just drunk. Because Kake spews nonsense that has nothing to do with history, it sounds like a dream.

They start as acquaintances from there, then eventually make it to friendship. Through the years, Simon helps Kake realize "oh shit, my life as I knew it's not real? Well, I'm not gonna cry about it, I'm gonna make art instead!" (And then proceeds to channel every single sad feeling and thought into his art)

Since we don't really get any idea where Simon's GOLB idol comes from, and assuming how it breaks in the intro and the show, my brain wants me to think it's ceramic. And with that thought!!! I'm taking!!! Creative liberties!! For my own selfish gains!!

I think Simon commissioned Kake to make him the GOLB idol. (Kake would have done it for free he's gay, but Simon insisted he pay Kake for his time)

Anyway!!! Here's all my thoughts for now!!

This little bug man and the sad little antiquarian are helping me through my struggles.

[smol-yet-stupid]

Ever After High OC

Shout out to @swedensoursauce and her OC, the amazing Moxie Charming, for the idea. I did post this OC once before, but now I'm gonna do it again!

~Machi Tanabata~

~Daughter of Orihime and Hikoboshi~

Parents' story: The tale of Tanabata

Alignment: Rebel. I will always love and support the Rebels because they will be hated and ostracised just for following their stories like they're told, which is really unfair, but I don't really like classes like Home Evilnomics. I dropped it the second I found it on my schedule. Too evil for me! Why would I wanna hurt people? Especially sweet and kind people like Raven, Ramona, Ginger, Cedar, Hunter, Jillian, etc. I totally get why Raven did what she did. She didn't want a future of being hated by everyone, after all.

Age: 15

Height: 5'6

Weight: 100lbs

Birthday: July 7th. That was the one day of the year my parents are allowed to finally meet, because my grumpy grandpa got mad at mom and dad for neglecting their duties to go see each other, so he only allowed them to see each other once a year.

Star sign: Cancer

Roommate:

Pet: An origami crane, called Fold. In Japan, folding 1000 origami cranes means good luck and peace, but Raven thought I would be lonely without a pet, so she used her magic to bring fold to life like she did with Ginger's gingerbread men. That was so sweet of her! 💞

Favorite food: Takoyaki. It's traditional and delicious!

Quote: "Ramona-san!" (Like Kurosaki-kun)

"Magic" touch: I can make cherry blossoms grow. They have such a pretty color and they're a staple of my home country, Japan. So get ready for Sakura-themed... well... everything during the spring! And also healing powers too.

Storybook romance status: Don't tell anyone, but I've had a crush on Ramona Badwolf, because she's really a good and kind wolf. She didn't steal Justine's shoes and she's always been there to protect me, so I wish I could repay her. I'm glad Justine apologised to her and that they're buddies again.

"Oh, curses", moment: Getting kidnapped by the Evil Queen. Well, I did what I had to do to save Ramona and my friends. The Evil Queen would have killed them all.

Secret hearts' desire: Well... my mom is a weaver, so my desire is to start my own fable-ous fashion line with handmade clothes.

Favorite class: Damsel-in-distressing. It just suits me, I guess. It's actually pretty ironic, because I kinda ended up being an actual one.

Least favorite class: Good Kingdom management. I'm not ready for the responsibility! And Home Evilnomics.

BFFA: I'm down with everyone, but I would say, you guessed it, Ginger Breadhouse. Her baking is off the book, and honestly, I feel bad for her. She'd be cooked alive! Another would be Ginger's BFFA, Cerise Hood and her sister Ramona. I know the prejudice they and the rest of the Hood/Badwolf clan would face. I hope they're both comfortable talking about it around me and Ginger...

And Holly O'hair! We love to hang out and practise Damsel-in-Distressing! Although she made a really mean joke about Briar's destiny. Holly, WHYYYYYY?! Daring too, because I know he has a good heart underneath that smile, and Dexter. He'll always be gort to me! I don't think he should be like his brother because he's awesome in his own way. Hopper too, he's such a sweet little forggy 🐸 And Briar Beauty, she's awesome! I wouldn't blame her for wanting to become a Rebel. Why do people keep joking about her destiny? It's so much worse than just merely sleeping for 100 years! Meeshell too. She's really shy, but her shoes and hair are to die for! And Farrah, because we both love fashion! For the Rebel side, Raven, because she's genuinely really nice and she deserves to have a loving family than being driven out of Ever After and having nowhere to live and she understood Cerise and Ginger because she's been there, and there was something hilarious and true she said during Damsel-in-Distressing: Like I'm gonna be worried about my hair if I'm about to become dragon chow! (No no, she's got a point) Poppy just because she's adorable, Maddie because she's sweet, hilarious and always finds ways to cheer everyone up with her funny little quirks, Cedar because she's so sweet and kind, and the poor girl apparently was forced to say embarrassing things, and Cupid because she deserves a hug! And Hunter, because he just loves animals and would save them from his fathers' traps, and I know that deep down he loves Pesky 😄 The same with Rosabella. Darling as well. I just love her hairstyle! And Humphrey. I never knew he could rap!

Fairy sorry for rambling so much!

[7goodangel]

I'm new here, sorry to bother, but why won't answer any paperfresh questions?

Warning: Long post so yeah... hence why the read more o-o

(From Blog Description)

(From FAQ)

But... I’m gonna add slightly more detail to this - cause then I can just link this exact ask/answer to my description for more detail. 

So yeah... It’s not really the full ‘ship’ that I dislike. I am... just... meh with this ship if we are just talking about it in general. 

However - what I don’t like was/is how people were so obsessed over it, so focused onto that specific ship that it caused these things (in this order):

Mischaracterization of Fresh and PJ - So yeah - first was this whole thing. At the beginning - it seemed like a fun, yet harmless ship. Both CQ and I saw few things on it, added our two cents, and just continued to observe the fun (at least for me - it just seemed like CQ was doing that too and she’s really chill). It even got to a point where I was trying to see how this ship would actually work. However - this ship kinda brought in a wave of misunderstanding. Which - I don’t know - I was okay with that for PJ since I knew/know that I’m not a popular blog or anyone important so it’s my own fault for not getting all of the info on PJ out there straight away. But for Fresh? I honestly felt like it was my own fault that people were not seeing him as the complex character he is. Gosh have you guys read MommaCQ By Alania? That, at this time, is the closest Fresh that is to the actual Fresh (ya know... without that whole parasite thing). I just felt horrible that Fresh was getting mischaracterized due to my character (who was also getting super misinterpreted). It felt like it was my fault for that whole thing - so I started to not like FreshPaper starting at the peak of all of that mess. Moving from an OTP to a ‘eh it’s okay!’. I am still dealing with this aftermath today. People are seriously getting shocked that Paper isn’t in a canon ship with Fresh. (Examples come from the Undertale AU Amino on quizzes others made on canon PJ [you guys rock for making those quizzes!]):

(still continuing from above)Yeah - these are actual responses to stuff in the quizzes. I also made a quiz in that Amino and majority of the people who have done it (8 at this time cause it’s brand new) did not have a score over 20 (top score is 124... by a user named Paperfresh which gosh that was funny to me! Kudos to you though!) 7 out of 8 couldn’t do it. People outside of Tumblr still think that Canon PJ is a nice, shy, and innocent little 17 year old. Which is far from the truth. Again - people need to understand the difference between AUs and Canon stories for OCs. And that plays a part into this whole thing. 

Tossing any other ships that are not ‘just for fun’ under the bus/Tossing other users under the bus due to shipsNow this was the second wave of stuff that happened, and this happened right after Christmas of last year. Ever since I said “Oh yeah - This character named Omni (by Cereusblue)? PJ likes them. They are in a canon ship.” And gosh... you know what? Those Freshpaper shippers started to slowly ramp up their headcanons on their ship and tried to make it fact. Try to hide that PJ is in a different relationship with Omni than being in a ‘relationship with Fresh’. Let me first say that at first - it seemed like people who followed me were cool with this. From people who hate FreshPaper to loving FreshPaper. They were all cool with the idea that PJ wasn’t going to be with Fresh. OK! Awesomesauce!But then, I saw people complaining to Cereusblue and Askinfresh (an amazing Fresh RPer) about this - even calling them out (which by the way - Askinfresh had nothing to do with this so...?) and tossing them under a metaphorical bus for why their ship now cannot be canon. (which by the way - at this point CQ and I have stressed out enough times that it just won’t happen!)And eventually - there was one user that I have now blocked due to this - but I am going to go into detail about this, that made me just shut down on the whole topic of FreshPaper together. They were the straw on the camel’s back. And it hit right during the time I was trying to finish up my Masters. (fabulous timing there.)But gosh ok this story is long so just a warning:~~~So - I don’t know how it exactly started - but someone mentioned to me that this user (who honestly I loved and respected their work even though it was mostly FreshPaper stuff [and let me go ahead and say no - it’s not the first person you thought of]) was talking about me not only behind my back, but in a different language entirely. And they just kept saying on occasion on how I was the one who ruined FreshPaper, how I didn’t had the “kindness of being a multishipper” and that I was too blinded by this new ship OmniPJ to even notice how amazing Freshpaper is!And just... while this was translated by Google Translate for me - someone later on confirmed that the translation was pretty close to what they said...I just... I guess I snapped? But I took my time to respond to this, had others read it so then I had less of a chance to offend anyone - cause I HATE HATE HATE making other’s feel bad. And I just wanted to explain my side of the story - especially since this wasn’t the first time they tossed me under like that. And after that? What did they do?Cut PJ out of their story, blamed me for their action on that, and just - continued to draw without seeming like it hurt them even though they kept stating ‘how much they were hurt to even think about PJ’. ...DudeI broke down.I extended my hiatus at that time to “TBD”IT HURT me so MUCH to know that someone was SAD, or ANGRY, or just... so frustrated that they go to my face and say “well then I’m removing your character from my story” and then proceeding to put the blame on me when in fact that wasn’t what I was saying at all. I even replied to that comment and after that - I broke down and cried. And I hate to sound like I was exaggerating on this but - any of my close friends would be able to verify that this happened. I went to a table that I haven’t crawled under within a year - and laid there with a blanket, crying, until I just felt numb. It... kinda showed me that I wasn’t ready for any form of hate on the internet - where you kinda need to have a think skin in order to brush off hate. And while generic hate I was able to brush off until that moment - that.. THAT to me was like this:For a whole month, I panicked. I talked to friends on what I should do. Even after soft blocking and fully blocking their blog - I kept going back. Translating questions with the number 7 in them or with PJ in them to make sure they were not still angry about it... which then spiraled me down. I was afraid... afraid that a whole section of people who could only read and speak that language would see me as the devil’s advocate. Yep - I took the bait. And honestly that whole part of me feeling bad for a month was on me. That was entirely my fault. But... I guess this was the first personal attack I had received in my life - so I didn’t know how to handle it.~~~But now? I know better. I have taken that experience and will use what I had learned from it in a similar situation in the future (if that ever happens). Just... know that you will not please everyone even if you try your dang hardest at that. That was me learning that fully in action. However - due to knowing that discussing FreshPaper was behind all of that - and I didn’t want anyone to feel like that EVER - That’s why I took a stand and just said “nope. I am not going to discuss this ship anymore. I will not like any art of this ship (but know I still do appreciate it  and some I bookmark cause it’s so good) but I just need to take this side and stand - not let any more confusion or miscommunication happen.”

And...well... that is the full story of how it became to be a topic I will not discuss again. It’s just do to all of these things piling up on one another until one thing just shattered me.

I honestly thought about deactivating back during that break down. I thought about keeping my blog up for archive reasons, and starting from scratch with a brand new username and not ever bring PJ back again. I thought about possibly only using Tumblr to stay connected with friends I made but never ever do another social media blog again. 

But eh - I decided to keep going! I’m kinda persistent! Or Determined!

Anyway - this was the LONG LONG L O N G explanation of why I don’t answer any FreshPaper Questions. Just... it was due to bad situations and circumstances that just piled up on me until I just couldn’t look at the word “FreshPaper’ in any positive light. 

BUT LET ME JUST SAY:

I am completely fine if you ship FreshPaper. 

It’s 100% ok! 

YOU ship what you WISH to ship! And being a multishipper - I see those Freshpaper ships as alternate timelines! All coexisting at the same time as the canon timeline. 

Just - I wanted you all to know where I am coming from with this ship... and know why I don’t really like it. And sadly - it’s not even about the characters - it’s about the bad experiences within the fandom for me. 

In the end, respect the canon stories that people made for their OCs - whether it’s for OTPs, NOTPs, and BROTPs,. Respect that people can see certain ships work and others not be able to work. 

Let that whole ‘ship war’ thing die already and let’s create an area where people can discuss ships without the fear to be ridiculed, to be driven to insanity, to be harmed physically or mentally about what they ship or not ship. 

And this has gone on long enough! ^^

If you read this far - thank you. And I hope that with seeing things from my perspective, it brought a new angle to this whole shipping thing. At least with the Freshpaper stuff o-oAgain - you can still ship Freshpaper! Go for it! You like it - draw it! Write it! Sing it! Just... make sure you respect those who don’t like it or can’t see why you ship it. And apply that mentality to any ship you have in any fandom! ^^

Hope you all have a fantastic day!
