Welcome to Corroded Coffin Fest!

This is a fanworks challenge/event that is all about Corroded Coffin. It will take place from July 1st thru July 31st.

Thanks so much for showing interest in this event during this post! If you have friends that you think would like to participate, please considering reblogging this announcement!

The calendar of prompts is located here:

Since there are so many events going on (and we love to see it!) we've decided to set a word count range for this event, so the love can be spread around to more events.

GUIDELINES:

Ideas for works include: fic, art, gifsets, fanvids, moodboards, edits, playlists, or anything else you can think of to celebrate Corroded Coffin!

For fics, there is a word count minimum/maximum of between 300-1000 words per drabble. We'll use wordcounter.net to check the word counts before reblogging, so make sure you stick to that range!

Do one prompt, do them all. Hell, do them all twice! It's totally up to you. You can pick and choose what you're interested in. And we're not going to police how you interpret the prompt. Just use them as a jumping off point to be inspired by the boys of Corroded Coffin, and then share that inspiration with us! (Not everything has to be band related, we encourage you to explore other parts of their lives, too!)

Submissions can absolutely be connected to other prompts from the event, or even past works, but should still be able to stand alone each day.

Every morning a new prompt card will go up, reminding everyone of what that day's prompt will be.

All submissions should include any pairings featured, content rating and any content warnings (CW) or tags that you think are appropriate. Please put the prompt you are fulfilling as well, just to keep things straightforward. A sample could look something like this:

Prompt Day 9: The Hideout, Word Count: 666, Rating: M, Pairing: None, CW: Underage Drinking, Recreational Drug Use, Tags: Corroded Coffin, First Gig, Partying, Eddie, Gareth, Jeff, Freak, The Hideout

Also, please consider putting any explicit material under a read more cut, because anything rated E that's not hidden under a cut will not be reblogged.

For the artists! Your art submission must be posted on the same day as the current prompt in order to be reblogged by this blog. Your piece of art (or other creation) must be Corroded Coffin focused, using any combination of the guys, together or solo. Of course, other characters can be included, too! But you need to have at least one of the CC band members in it for it to count for this event. Thank you!

All ships are welcome, as long as they include at least one member of Corroded Coffin: Eddie, Jeff, Gareth & Freak. (Who I look forward to learning the name of from you all, time and time again!)

Please tag us here @corrodedcoffinfest when you post your work for the day so we can reblog it!

Be respectful of your fellow participants and readers. We're all here to have fun and share the love of all parts of Corroded Coffin.

Definitely feel free to ask me anything if the rules weren't clear in places, or if I straight up forgot something (or if you just have anything else you'd like to ask). You can send an ask/message to this blog or reach out to @thisapplepielife.

Please submit your post by 11:59 PM EDT on the day of the prompt in order to not be missed for reblogging.

 If posting on AO3, please feel free to use the collection associated with this event: Corroded Coffin Fest AO3 Collection after your submission has been reblogged by this account.

Most importantly, have fun! We can't wait to see what Corroded Coffin fanworks come out of this new event!

[puckpocketed]

hi!! I was wondering where or how you do you research for players and teams, and just hockey in general? do you have any favorite blogs or other resources? thank you~

okay picking thru web rot for the sharks primer has prepared me for this one lmao here's the quick answer because i really need to eat some pie and go to bed. Hockey is my all-consuming interest at the moment and I haven't watched actual television or films; or read anything non-academic that isn't about hockey in.... 9 months? If it seems like I am taking in a LOT of information in a short amount of time it's because I am. I listen to hockey things at 2-5x speed depending on if its a video on youtube (locked to 2x), a podcast (3.5x is my ideal speed), or my screenreader (5x) and often take notes, save articles as pdfs to go back to, and transcribe things for fun (only recently am putting my transcriptions as addendums to gifs... very rewarding <3). When not studying for my actual degree, I am reading about hockey or listening to something hockey related or watching hockey or writing about hockey or learning how to play hockey. i am so serious. please don't assume that this is normal, optimal, or even something I would wish upon other people. I am in Love with her in thee most wretched and irrevocable way. She's my hobby in the sense that shes my sun and im building my wax wings and looking directly at her light and thanking her for blinding me. amen.

more seriously, if I'm going down a player rabbit hole I will try many of these things - though not necessarily all of them, and not in this order (and i'm sure i've forgotten one or two things I usually try... lordy):

I go to spotify/apple podcasts and throw in player names just to see what comes up and listen to basically everything.

if they are on an NHL team, there are likely MULTIPLE podcasts dedicated to that team. trawl through their podcast archives, especially post-game podcasts where discussion is happening about their performance. sometimes there are even interviews <3

i do the same with youtube if I can...!

throw their name into reddit, tumblr, twitter and scroll. endlessly. just trawl through everything that I can possibly get my hands on. The more obscure the player the easier this is, because there really aren't that many things to find out about them and not many people are talking about them at all. <- this is how I make contact with people who are the only person that knows about this one (1) guy and then we hold fins forever. <3

find out who the teams beat reporters are. if youre looking into prospects, even juniors teams have people covering them. the writing might not be the highest quality but you WILL eventually find fun details if you go digging.

check: elite prospects articles, the hockey writers articles, find out the player's home town and see if their local paper has anything on them (basically, check any and all databases that use a tagging system or have a functional search engine)

helpful things to tack onto the end of google/youtube/database searches: "media availability" "post-game" "interview" "feature" "profile" "scouting report" "draft" "debut" "review" "highlight" "tournament"

if they're a player from a non-english speaking country it's worth throwing their non-romanized name into google to see what you can get. google translate the website // chatgpt translation are two options - not ideal and not to be trusted 100% over actual translation done by a fluent human speaker.

Instagram stories are the bane of my existence because they're so ephemeral

tiktok is a parallel universe to me. I do not have the app. any browsing I do on it is solely via googling "[team name] tiktok official" and clicking around on my desktop PC. I've only ever done this for M.Chrona's gf (who is much more famous than him) but if you're really doing down the rabbit hole of player research, some of their WAGs will post about them. <- as always, be respectful/not weird.

facebook for older stuff... genuinely makes my skin crawl so I avoid it and its a last resort LMAO but yeah teams used to post on facebook and everything!!! <- again. dont be weird and stalk peoples families or friends asjklakjl

"[player/team name] gettyimages [day/month/year]" <- substitute getty images for: flickr, hockeyshots, dreamstime, alamy

Substack is good for general hockey stuff if you can stomach the dreaded idea of subscribing via email or getting the app <3 I like: Jack Han (hockey tactics newsletter), Sean Shapiro (shap shots), Adam Gretz (adam's sports stuff), Thibaud Chatel <- for the analytics nerds, Alex MacLean <- his Scouting The Scouts series is what got me into substack in the first place, Greg Revak (hockey IQ newsletter) <- this is the one that's got me on development stuff atm SUPER rec because there's gifs and charts and many many hyperlinks included for citations <3

i should do a book rec at some point but uhhhh its getting late and im hungry <3 thank you for asking + reading if you got this far, I hope it was a helpful peek into my process?

[infodump-matchmaking]

I just stumbled upon your blog and I couldn't be more ecstatic. What a brilliant idea!

I don't know if im thinking too much about it, but I'm a creator and I found someone on your google document list who would be perfect for me with the subject I'm wanting for info about. But I've never done anything like this before. Reached out to others for information about a subject I need to know stuff about for my book. Should I have a liat of questions ready before I contact the person behind the Offer? Should I know anything about the subject before I contact them? I really haven't done much/any research myself about this yet, since I'm still in early stages of plot planning and idea-brainstorming. But I'm finding it all a bit difficult to plan since I don't know anything about this essential subject matter thats a core in my book. But I suck at research and I can never seem to find the right articles or posts and it's hard because I don't understand technical jargon at all. As soon as there's just one or two technical words, my brain just stops comprehending and fizzes out.

So. Yeah. I want to reach out to this person that has an Offer with my subject, but I'm worried it will be too soon in the plotting/writing stages for me or wrong of me or just lead to nothing, since I don't have a starting point and no prior knowledge about this subject

Hey, no worries! I'd say it doesn't hurt to check the Offerer's blog and read thru their pinned post (if there is one), then send an ask or just tag them in the reblogs of the original post (or this one)!

As for when to contact or what info to have in advance, that's not something I'm really gonna regulate. Just ask your offerer what they'd prefer for prior knowledge levels!

If the enthusiasm on all ends is anything to go off of, I'm willing to bet they won't mind a lack of prior knowledge- if anything it just means they'll get to infodump more!!

hi jam! recently i've taken two different autism questionnaires on two different occasions and i've scored really high on both ... but i know that i used to be super talkative when i was little ... i'm not going to get diagnosed bc it'll stay with me, but how do i Know? and what do i do with that?

hey anon! sorry for my delay on this reply, i'm at my new main @unloneliest most of the time & don't have the most spoons as of late.

i'm also self diagnosed without any desire for a professional diagnosis! what to do with it? that's up to you.

personally, just being able to understand myself as autistic, to name the things i struggle with and describe the functioning of my brain—that has made a huge difference in my life. there's a lot of parts of who i am that felt like unique failings: things Everybody could do that I just Couldn't when i tried to follow mainstream methods. when i was focused on societal metrics of success, i was doomed to failure.

i'm happier and more confident and comfortable, now that i know i'm autistic. i've given myself permission to figure out what i actually want in life, and to not expect myself to get there by the same means someone who's neuroconforming can. (i can give examples on this if anyone's interested but don't want to be too longwinded!)

how to Know For Sure you're autistic when self diagnosed? peer review. <-silly way of saying connect with community. a LOT of autistic folks are self diagnosed—diagnosis is both inaccessable to many and is something many others do not want.

i used to always preface with "probably autistic, self diagnosed" for a very long time. i also used to run multiple groups for queer youth at a nonprofit in my town. i stopped with the prefacing when a neurodivergent teen heard me doing it yet again—probably about dan and phil being a special interest tbqh—and was like "denney, you don't have to do that. you're autistic".

who needs diagnosis when u have the honesty of a teen?

no but seriously. i figured out i was autistic thanks to @asterlark (then a mutual, now my roommate) posting about autism back in our check please days, and there are a lot of autistic folks / orgs online that were super helpful resources while i was figuring things out for myself:

ASAN, the autistic self advocacy network

AWN, the autistic women and nonbinary network

@drdemonprince 's blog & writing—i've only had a chance to read its essays so far, but am seriously looking forward to reading unmasking autism

& you can find so, so many more folks when you start looking into connecting w the autistic community. if you're interested you can look thru my autism tag on my other main blog, too.

Can We Be Lonely Together? Ch.7

A Homelander x Stalker! fanfic

This is a long chapter so beware.

check my blog for prev. chapters under #my fic tag or the title of this fic. this is a slow burn fic

This is a GN fic, and technically also a supe! reader fic... I leaned a bit on a male reader if am honest as this is a crack ship fic of sorts.

Author's note: I'm glad to be posting this again, had been on a holiday and it was kinda hard working on this fic, altho will say that editing a fic with smut in a plane next to a stranger is not a fun experience.

Sypnosis: You're a mind reading supe who has become enamored by Vought's number 1 supe, he just won't like the lenght you took to make yourself his favorite

R18+ blood, smut, anal play, stalking, murder mention, bit of fluff and Homelander is OOC in this chapter.

Chapter 7

Acts of Savagery

Edgar’s shadow loomed ever present inside the tower, Homelander felt trapped in a maze of monsters seeking his demise lurking on every corner, the list of those loyal to him slim, and there wasn’t a conversation gone unnoticed, the sudden bouts of background music filling offices had increased to a noticable degree even to non-supes. 

Everybody seeking to file him as incompetent and cause him ridicule, his only solace had become Ryan and the more days turned to weeks the more anxious he became, finding something abnormal in the way some watched his son– their fake politeness or over the top niceties kept him weerie, unable to confide with anyone his worries.

But then there was you… it was meant to be a mechanical exchange at first, these interactions nothing more than massages with happy endings, but at no point did you complained, your willingness to indulge him was beggining to break his brain.

Coming no matter the level of inconvenience, watching from afar across a dozen walls to study your reactions, expecting eye-rolls and bemoanings– witnessingnothing but tired grins and squeaky steps. Homelander began to act like a child testing his parents' limits, seeing just how far he could abuse you, seeking lines to cross but all had been drawn in sand by the shore. You were eager to meet him, making your schedule wrap around his, as if you already understood your place in this hierarchy, even Ashley and the remaining Seven offered resistance in these matters.

The more he studied it the less confusing it became in a sense... Your schedule consisted of working, eating good, working and him.

You made sure to keep a low profile, to not stand out.

Your home tastefully decorated, he had made a game of trying to figure out where the money went, your home had plenty but also nothing, you were boring on purpose but only on the surface.

Homelander entered thru the balcony, your home smelled like vanilla and your floors relatively clean, your pantries stocked with the fanciest ingredients money could purchase in this city, your cooking equipment just as expensive, a cursory look at your knife set online had set you back four figures-- letting out a loud ‘yowza’ after seeing the price tag, Homelander hurriedly placed the knife back, in this brief moment of free time in-between his daily patrols, Homelander found strange pleasure in invading your enclosure, feeling the softness of your velvety couch against his palms, touching your knick-knacks, and admiring the few art pieces. 

He made the way to your bedroom.

Your bed was smaller than he expected, your blankets disheveled , and your menu of pillows excessive– nobody needed more than six pillows to sleep.

A pile of clothes rested by the foot of the bed, catching himself before taking a whiff of your clothes looking for peeping-toms before bringing your shorts up his nose, the scent just as he remembered, from here he could see a handful of perfumes that didn’t match the scent he had grown familiar with, even spotting a half-used bottle on the rubbish bin offered him a clue of your decision process.

You had no photographs of family in this spacious two-bedroom loft at all, only a single photo of you and a latina by the kitchen wall as proof your existance,  Waltzing around back towards your kitchen Homelander opened your fridge.

He took a step back, spotting a note left inside.

“Maybe I’m crazy but if you do come while I ain't around feel free to eat? I always make too much. xoxo.”

He had been caught in a small felony, yet the victim welcomed him. Hunger was nothing he was entirely familiar with, his needs quite minimal in that department, he used to joke that all he needed came from the sun but his stomach spoke.

Neither could recall when was the first or last time somebody had cooked for him just for the sake of it, he opened the tupperware to find some leftover chicken marsala, plated even within the container, now the random fork and knife left by the breakfast table made sense, lasering it until the meat sizzled correctly he eat alone, making an impromptu treasure hunt for hidden messages addressed to him– had he missed other notes? He sat on your couch, a blanket bundle under him smelling of sea salt, and cherry blossom, the meal heavier than what he preferred but he had finished it all before he knew it.

He picked the remote, finding another post-it.

“Neighbors bitch too much about the volume.” Your sound system made him a tad jealous– leave the TV on so I know you came in.”

He left it off.

“You don’t think this is just a little off?”

“Though we established that Y/N was special.” John mentioned cringing at the end of his line.

“Oh they’re trying to sweeten you up…”

“Perhaps… this wasn’t too bad, either.” He places the dirty dishes inside the dishwasher– what do they want from me? They already got the trophy fucks… nobody is this strange if they don’t want something more”

“Talkign about Y/N or you?” His reflection spoke.

“Is a fantasy… we don’t need anyone else… not anymore. We have a family now!”

“But you still want the wife barefoot in the kitchen… making sunday roast and pies.”

His distorted self shrugged with a big smug smile from inside the faucet.

“You talking about me or you?”

He called you later that evening while Ryan trained downstairs under The Deep’s supervision, carrying a fistful of guilt in his stomach as he called you. Never mentioning why a copy of his house keys had found their way to your desk, simply showing up rushing straight into his arms, your weight always lighter than he expects, kissing you had become a minefield of strange sensations, your tongue eager and needy, and your lips always soft, your hands caressing his hair, never leaving it alone, pushing Homelander’s shoulder towards you desperately working to fade away all distance down to a cellular level.

This was supposed to be a cynical event… a simple release… now precious, you welcoming him at his neediest, Homelander testing your limits as he bit, nip, suckle and squeezed, it remained with him how your fading wounds appeared to be nothing but gifts from him to you, watching you attentively as you allowed each brand– a pit caved his chest, growing with anticipation, both itching to witness your rejections. How could it be that no matter how much he teased your paperthin flesh you appeared to encourage it? Homelander had a difficult time accepting this urge to see you deny him, to deject him, to despise him.  When you so tenderly spoiled him, cooing him lovingly, as he threw his tamtruns.

Always so easy to make pretty birds run away, he was too much, too heavy, too suffocating for them– just not to you… both men agreed you had the patience of a buddha.

He kissed your whole body with unspoken apologies, cradled you gently as he fucked you in his couch, praying that nobody could hear your guttural growls as he forced himself deeper into you, your legs intertwine to the matching pattern of your fingers on his scalp, not wanting him to breathe on his own without a taste of you, tasting your clean sweat, sniffing your hair, everything of you was so clean, nothing to bother him, nothing to overwhelm him, eagerly resembling him, leaving the room scented with him alone– leaving  apart of him trembling with fear… this had to be a vivid hallucination, another fabrication of an overactive imagination– too good to be true.

Breathlessly panting in his ear, as he fills you.

Your eyes are so wide, so adoring, so scary to him. 

Homelander had craved affection his whole life, he had craved attention, devotion, company… Why didn't this feel right? Had he secretly been lying to himself? 

Falling into your lips, tasting a sprinkle of your blood, your arms wrapped themselves around him, humming sweetly into his temple as you attempted to regain your strentght, petting him all the way down his neck, until both your heartbeats synched in relaxation.

“Would you like me to cancel your meeting?” 

He watched you dress, tidying your hair before one of the many mirrors holding your tongue as to not mention the remodelations.

“I can be late to my own meetings… like the dining table?”

“Eight seater, nice. This a single slab of Brazilian Rosewood?” 

He nodded pretending to know what that was… presumably you were correct, for he simply said ‘grand’ to the interior designer.

“Love these lines… I’m jealous. Is there something you wanted by the way?”

Caught against the wall, navigating aisles in his mind looking for urgent matters to discuss with the only soul he could confide with at this stage.

“I want Ryan to go to a proper school… tutors are all over my place, and those vultures hovering around are annoying. I’ll let you hand something special to your owner if you can give me a suitable list of schools for Ryan. Nothing public, we aren't savages! Dunno if there’s any Supe schools other than Godolkin.”

“Unlikely…” your brows furrowed, giving him a dirty look– finally liberating him, his was the fucking moment you showed your true colours– nothing wrong with public school… but Ryan is a special child… he’s yours. So he deserves the best your name can get him– I’m sure any school would beg for the honor. I’m sure the boy would be happy to see kids around him instead of boring salarymen.”

Your heart rate is steady.

“Ever wanted kids?” what the fuck did you just say you stupid– forg–

“Happy either way… assuming I live long enough to consider the possibility.” 

Watching you come to him, cupping his cheeks, he puffed his chest wanting to make himself appear calm.

“Thanks” your kiss was short and playful, nothing but butterfly wings against him– It will take me a while with your request, chief.”

“No pressure.” he fixed his posture as your hands left him– the chicken was good.”

It took you a second.

“Glad you liked it.”

You didn’t react at all.

“You don’t care I entered–

“Next time call me so I can cook for you, you need to try my carbonara is very indulgent”

Always leaving him confused.

Staying true to your words, boundaries made of glass and drawn in flowing rivers.

This emptiness all too familiar now felt crowded.

Loving you should be easy.

He bet it would be easy.

Walking in opposite directions catching the sound of your bones turning to catch a last glimpse of him.

Flying to your direction just to catch a final glimpse of you as you make it to the kitchen, looking around searching for his mess then signing happily as you find it in the dishwasher.

Homelander wanted to say the right things, to wooe you, to impress you if he could…

Entering the dark room you called an office, you type looking on information regarding some run-of-the-mill scumbag.

“Busy?”

“Just confirming the location of some human traffickers. It would be lovely if you could just fly all the way down to Laredo afterwards and just wait ‘til… seven? When they bring a truck full of hopefully not dead bodies. But not really”

“Sounds like you're busy.”

“It’ll be so good for your ratings. I got the address, or do you want me to call some local hero so they can look good instead of you? Mind you I’m just doing this to make the FBI look incompetent.”

“Mutually beneficial, then?” He leaned forward holding his weight on the back of your seat, catching a whiff of your perfume– Did Roman like my treat?”

“He wants your head on a platter. Didn’t do much but I told him I got something big brewing… I told him I thought you were unto me.”

“But I am.” He kissed your twitching aorta– what do you want to fuck me with?”

His kisses increased, painting a collar on your pristine neck, your eyes closed relaxing your shoulders letting him peck, one hand on your chin, and the other creeping under your shirt. 

In his mind just looking at you was enough to bother him, wanting every spare moment to both test you and relieve him, sex a tool against theoretical boundaries, you smiled… he was cute when he acted so childlish.

“Something nice and girthy.” You wouldn’t tell him of the thoughts swimming in the board members heads, you wouldn’t mention the bad room videos, you wouldn’t mention the not so unnamed women, but he could smell the adrenaline coursing through your veins– might be nothing… mi sol.”

Two words set him ablaze. 

Even as he rocks his head back, eyes struggling to stay open rolling back into his skull, even as your fingers and your hand fondle the most sensitive parts of his body, as he edges with your tongue elevating his shaft as your fingers squeeze ruthlessly, and pump him eagerly.

Twitching with excitement whenever somebody walked past the door, knowing of the spectacle the stranger would witnessed, as your mouth lubed his entrance, your hand eager to fill him, the stain in your pants growing wider, his head becoming light but awake regardless.

He wants your rejection.

Afraid of old habits.

Pleading to gods to stop teasing him with false hopes.

As his hand pushes your head lower, wrapping each ungloved finger with fistfuls of your hair, as you pull him closer unafraid of the creaking of your arm rest, he cannot bring himself to believe you’re a real person.

With a wet sharp whine he fills your mouth with thick cum, shaking himself clean on your lips, tapping your tongue with a now glistening tip, Homelander looks at you and those hazy eyes, wanting to kiss you.

“...y/n do you want to take a break with me?” his voice struggles to stay steady– I want to go check on Ryan… after I go stop those human traffickers of course.”

You nod, cleaning your lips.

“Its strange having somebody other than me to talk to?” his brother asks after the cameras stopped rolling– to look forward to talk to?"

This had been beyond a success this whole event resulting in a small amount of casualties, red and blue lights, and soon to be deported illegals, both could hear the ratings going up. 

"Not that Y/Ntalks much.”

“You like talking to Y/N too… this isn’t good isn’t it?”

“We can’t get attached. I don’t think they’ll be as bad as Maeve but… maybe… possibly.”

He’s flustered, shaking his head before departing. 

Homelander is already flying back home, knowing he will still get an attempt of an earful for entering  some other hero’s territory, but good luck telling him off– after all the CEO just saved a dozen people from a cartel, sure that had to count for something, fuck protocol.

He found you still on your desk, meandering on your screen while on company cent.

Your head turning before the doors even slid open, he caught a whiff of that oddity and shelved it for later.

“You wanna go watch a movie? I dunno what Ryan likes but this one has good reviews!” your voice sounded so eager it took him by surprise, Homelander didn’t even had a chance to reply before you leaped off your seat towards him– there’s a session at 8:20 so there shouldn’t be too many people, but you should definitely change”

“change what?”

“Your clothes? I mean you don’t wanna get your suit covered in oil and salt” You raised your eyebrow while picking up your stuff– there’s this amazing dumpling place I think you would love, we can catch a bite and then head to the movie.”

There’s an eagerness building in his throat, observing you carefully as your eyes glimmer in the fantasy, you seemed desperate to leave work.

“After we go pick Ryan of course…” you say.

“I’d like that”

You wrapped your arm around his elbow pulling him away, there’s a buzzing on your phone but not coming from your pocket, it hadn’t stop shaking in your cabinet once, he stared at it spotting an old cellphone surprised more by your hands pushing his cheek to look away– this gesture of intimacy as you playfully dragged Homelander out of the office without care for cameras outside, made his heart race and forget about the phone.

Ryan had been eager to go out, unsure as to whom his father friend was, but by now he had gotten accustomed to strangers hovering around Homelander, far more weirded out by his changed in attire, beside Vought issued pj’s and some sweatpants this was the first time he’d ever seen jeans on him.

Homelander hands squeezing at the fabric of the varsity as if it itched, feeling nude with these thin layers, the way the fabric draped around his body and sagged around his physique was exotic and not in a good way, the way the cool breeze touched him covered his skin in goosebumps, his hat compressing too tightly it squeezing his brain, his breath shuddering lightly as they walked around the city. Around these strangers he felt ignored and watched, his eyes behind shades and his hair a mess under his cap. He felt like a cartoon character in this costume– everybody should recognize him, he was a god, his face more recognizable than Ronald McDonald… but no.

Nobody noticed him, the discomfort growing too great to be ignored, the ringing in his ears increasing, as food arrived by an indifferent elderly waitress.

How could he not be recognized? his face in a billion objects, he was reduced to nothing as not even curious glances were offered his way, his heart ringing in his ear and his brother nowhere to be found, for the first time he felt absolutely invisible, never once did he imagine he would be pleading for flashing lights, as his ears ringed, louder and his tongue sat uncomfortably in his mouth.

Your sudden touch on his forearm soothes him, bringing him down, the ringing replaced by a cacophony of voices and dishes, you talk about the food swearing on the pan-fried goodies, making sure to offer greens to Ryan, laughing at his observations as you ask him to share about his day. 

The mundanity of this exchange, of your casual touches, of your constant need to make sure he had food in his mouth– has food ever tasted like anything but bland? For once he perceived the depths of a dish, the chewy but slippery texture of dumpling skin, the bok-choy crunch mingling with the salty-sweet mince, and the umami of the vinagre sauce pinching his taste buds, this whole scene should’ve felt fabricated but for once he existed in the now, just as himself, not as a walking billboard for Vought.

you half smile asking him about tomorrow’s plans, ensuring your fingers always touched some part of him.

 Looking around he saw other families acting just like this, couples and friends just talking and munching, the kitchen loud as the waitresses yelled to the cooks in mandarin, and even if the low plastic seats were uncomfortable, he didn’t mind. 

This was all he had ever wanted in a sense, lacking all the glamor he was accustomed to.

Sitting in the dark watching the movie feeling his finger turn oily, he felt your weight shift as you leaned your head against his shoulder, your hand touching his as it seeks popcorn. 

Settling yourself against him. 

He cracks his neck lightly catching Ryan completely focused on the movie, hearing around to spot many empty seats, a non-committed smile paints across his face, resting his cheek on the top of your head turning to plant a chaste kiss earning him a quiet chuckle, your other hand wraps around his arms in a frankly uncomfortable manner but for the remaining sixty-plus minutes he bears it.

This was a date. A proper date… even in disguise Homelander was out in public with his date, so this had to be a normal… mundane… simple… date.

One of many, no?

So who was him? Who was this gangly man from Arkansas that commandeered your time away from him, who took you from him, who you entertained and conversed so intimately– if you leaned any closer you might as well be dry-humping him, he thought.

He saw florid reds.

Then just red.

Here he was covered in blood catching the speedy shadow of his son moving away from him.

His ears ringing and his heart thunderous, bile burning his throat and his ears prickly with heat, pacing himself half-assedly around his home, fine leather now smudged with red streaks and his brother doing his best at damaged control, John was too emotional to handle this but sure he tried, his decisions lacked pragmatism, but even Homelander had no point of reference other than himself on how to deal with mentally scarred children… and just look how well that turned out asked John from within the mirror.

Terrorized by anxiety he had never noticed you coming in, your aroma hitting him only once you entered the living room, only opening his mouth with ignored menace as your hands took his face, your eyes blooshot on the edge of tears, and your sleeve damp as it tried to wash away this evening crime.

“Are you alright?” your voice failed to disguise any panic.

He watched you holding everything you were against his weight.

Watching his own eyes blur inside yours.

You looked at your broken phone still on the floor, thinking of everything wrong that I had done, thinking of the awful things I would do, unable to wash away the ache.

I certainly had a knack for ruining things.

[dreamingofthedteam]

so i saw the video and im really happy for dream and that he can finally leave this entire thing behind him get it off his shoulders and just go on ahead and post mc content (ALSO YAY MINECRAFT DREAM BACK IN 2024 LETS GOOOOOOOO)

the thing that saddened me the most about this was the doxxing and swatting stuff. like that is a very horrible thing to have to go thru. that shit is not a joke i imagine, living in a country that is notorious for an overpowered police force. and i hope to fucking god that what dream predicted (that this shit is going to get out of the mcyt space and into other yt communities over time) will not turn out to be true. the story about sapnap moving in with him so that he can answer the door to the fucking police while hes live just..its depressing man. and god i hadnt ever even heard of the time he got swatted while george was live that was a fucking jumpscare he must have been so worried

but. also. i think its time for, well me atleast, to self reflect a bit? ig? for context im talking about the end of the video where he restated his boundaries. im not someone who likes to stay in the problematic parts of the internet. i run from drama like its the wildfire from asoiaf. ( i also have caved in and posted abt neg stuff im not denying anything but i try to limit to private posts) and to think that i in any way could be on the wrong side of this all by shipping dnf? it gives me a bit of self doubt, ngl. i dont know if what i do would be classified as "srs shipping" or i would be put into "/srs dnf truther" by others, but i def thought and kinda still think 'oh dnf real' and now i just dont know where i stand..? i definitely need to think on it a bit. also i think i have interacted with nsfw art on this blog before, and goddamit i cant even check coz stupid me didnt even bother to tag properly, but from now on all nsfw art (not that i expect there to be many more) will be properly tagged. and if its not just tell me (idk who even is reading this anymore but whatever). as to dnf posting? idk. ill have to wait and see the general mood on here

and also like, that bit def has left a sour taste in my mouth AND IM NOT SAYING THATS DREAMS FAULT but its just...its tough man. dream having to change his mindset on fan spaces because of all this just saddens me a lot. and him saying that has then changed MY mindset on fandom, especially rpf, as someone whose both primary fandoms are rpf. i hope maybe in the future dream is able to engage on a more positive level and not have to just cut himself off from it entirely (im not sad abt him leaving twitter like, good riddance bitches, but i think i'll just miss a random tweet from him to wake up to)

I was wondering why people ship vimes/vetinari and i think it's mostly like. What if political checks and balances .......were sexy.

like

😳😳😳 What if ... you were the one person who wasn't afraid to hold me accountable ... & i was the only person who even KNEW u needed to be held accountable ... and thru our opposing natures we kept each other in balance ... and we were both middle aged men 😳😳😳

I'm reading The Murderbot Diaries and ... Our protagonist really is introduced as an enslaved person who managed to carve out a tiny, tiny measure of secret freedom. And used that tiny secret freedom almost exclusively to consume media. Continuously. for 4 years.

My #1 post of 2022

I read discworld so young that I never really thought about pterry's INCREDIBLY STRONG AND CONSISTENT "sex work is work" stance. Like. I didn't realise it was a rare stance? But. It kind of fucking is. And it doesn't come up as much as it maybe should, when ppl talk about feminism in discworld. GNU Terry Pratchett.

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

[vvh0adie]

can i just say that any writing done for free on the internet is not up for professional publishing critique

my thing is: unless i go on your blog and see the content you reblog/make pertains to some nasty heinous shit

(incest/race play/pedophilia/beastiality; meaning this is who you are as a legit person and you actively promote it in positivity)

then i go check your masterlist and its sewn into the fabric of your fics, imma side eye you, report, and block.

but lets be honest i would hope ppl just report/block during the first scroll cuz i don’t know why we’d want those type of people on tumblr anyway. tho we’re not here to discuss that further and definitely not another time. if you know you’re into the shit i listed above FOR REAL, get the fuck off my blog and play in traffic.

but if someone writes something you don’t like or if you think their writing isn’t up to gramatical/literary standard, don’t get in the fucking comments or asks to tell us that. we do this shit for fun. this isn’t fucking goodreads.

ALSO DONT REBLOG FICS YOU DIDNT ENJOY AND RATE THEM AND LEAVE BAD REVIEWS IN THE FUCKING POST. WE CAN SEE THAT SHIT!!! THIS GOES FOR TUMBLR, AO3, AND ANYWHERE ELSE THAT HOST NON-PROFIT FICTION WORKS.

(and no kofi and patreon don’t count as profit, if an author explicitly tells you that you will have access to their wips and early access to fanfiction that will eventually go onto tumblr or ao3. you already knew to expect some hobbyists writing. and you need to know from reading the already free content on their blog, that you like their writing well enough to invest in it. it doesn’t make sense to pay for something you KNEW you already hated. if it just so happens that you’re author sets a standard above what you consider fanfiction writing and it feels more professional, then lucky you…… it’s still not up for critique. that’s just means someone took their craft “serious enough”)

i also see you bitches who put ACTUAL FICS INTO GOODREADS! HAVE YOU LOST YO DAMN MIND CUZ LEMME HELP YOU FIND IT QUICKER THAN MOSES PARTED THE SEA!

when people come to your fic recs, they are most likely not looking for bad fics AT ALL, they’re hoping you’ve done your due diligence in curating a collection of fics you deem amazing so they DONT have to sift thru “bad” fics. you making more work for yourself and other readers.

but some of y’all love to be negative and get wet from twiddling your thumbs on this keyboard to spew unnecessary or productive “criticism”. unless we asks or have a link to a feedback box/google forms, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

social platforms besides goodreads are not here to help reader experience. goodreads is the place to leave reviews for BOOK YOU EITHER PAYED FOR OR THE AUTHOR HAS PROFESSIONALLY PUBLISHED FOR WIDER CONSUMPTION.

i love goodreads too and criticism of books I FIND AT BARNES AND NOBLES😁… because i’m able to avoid things like bad grammar, bad literary skills, poc and queer trauma porn, and other shit i don’t wanna be exposed to.

what i do think is valid, is asking a fic writer to tag properly. i’ve read shit and been blindsided cuz “dead dove” tags weren’t added. i’ve even asked and they’ve made it a point to belittle me. i thought it was a good fic in terms of plot but i wanted to be able to blacklist those words for if they wrote more content. but they completely turned me off due to how they responded so i just never wanted to read more of their work.

i didn’t harass them because frankly it had content i didn’t like (not anything that would make me question their overall morality, unless you count the not tagging, but that’s a bit much). instead i just blocked them and moved on.

there have been times where the grammar in a fic was really bad, the formatting of a fic had huge gaps that made reading difficult, or they didn’t put a cut on their fic. i didn’t contact them, i just blocked them.

so for the love of baby jesus, just block. only when you feel that something DETRIMENTAL is being posted like WHITE SUPREMACIST MANIFESTO or SOCIALLY TABOO type shit is being PROMOTED (they need to actually believe in this shit) in someone’s writing and has built a following of like-minded people, then really the troops so we can deal with it.

but bad grammar or that yandere fics with non-con in is not something to be harassing people over.

(some folks writing language is not their first so they’re learning thru writing or they’re a native speaker who still messes up/has a disability and just because some likes to write/read dark fics doesn’t mean they advocate such acts. plus while it may not be the healthiest, it’s some people’s coping mechanisms and i can’t blame them cuz a good therapist is hard to find and even harder to pay for —at least in the US)

so go read shit you actually like. and if you just so feeeeel it in yo spirit to rate some fics and leave bad reviews download Calibre Library and have at it. it is only seen by you and on your computer. so make that your lil hate diary or whateva🙄

anyway duces. i just had to say a lil sumn cuz i saw one of y’all attacking the homies. i love my moots and i miss the ones that left becuz of the bullshit💜💜💜

also if anyone thinks i left something out or wants to correct something feel free to tag me or reblog💖

[tohokuu]

[earthnashes]

New follower so uh what're like the basics to your mario au? Any significant changes to canon?

Biggest rule of thumb for this AU:

If it's canon to the games, it doesn't happen in the AU. Most clearest and probably biggest example I still get asked about: No, Bowser does not kidnap Peach, and it never happens.

So the best mindset going into the AU is just ignore everything about the happenings in game and think of it as a complete divergence.

A lot about this AU can be found in my Super Mario tag. There's about 20+ pages of headcanon to read thru as of today (supplemented with art). While you may find the answer if you take a skim through the tag, you're always more than free to ask me any question regarding the AU. Or anything else, really.

Basic worldbuilding things to remember for this AU:

-In this AU, what is essentially world peace has mostly been achieved. How? Any disagreements or conflicts is settled with competitive games, including but not limited to Go-Karting, basketball, soccer, brawling, tennis, and so many others.

-IRL countries and continents does not exist in this world, however the kingdoms draw cultural influence from them. Examples: Koopa Kingdom draws from Asia, Sarasaland from Latin America, Metro Kingdom from North America, Mushroom Kingdom from Europe, so on.

-Peach is officially the queen of Mushroom Kingdom, but she prefers the title "princess". It ties to her hope that her very ill father will recover and regain his status as standing monarch of the land.

-Bowser's parents are trash. They aren't abusive (majority of the time) but they are neglectful in a happily dismissive way. As such, Kamek is Bowser's father figure. It's to a point he actually refers to Kamek as ba.

-Bowser has a younger sister: Bowsette. She exists as an entirely separate character from Bowser and does not need the Super Crown. In fact, Super Crown does not actually exist in this AU.

-The Koopalings aren't Bowser's biological children but he did adopt them.

-Mario and Luigi were plumbers once, yes, but they now have different main jobs: Mario is Peach's bodyguard and an agent to the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi is a simple baker but also aides King Boo in helping lost souls find their way to the afterlife.

-Rosalina is a goddess and protector of the universe. Specifically she is the cosmos, a task she is aided with by the Lumas. In the same vein, King Boo isn't actually a king, but instead this world's version of the Grim Reaper. So... I guess he too is a god. Like Rosalina, he is aided with his task to guide the spirits of the departed to the afterlife by the smaller Boos (who are spirits and not ghosts. There's a distinction in this AU).

-Magic exists in this AU but it is limited and operates on a simplistic (but strict) magic system. TL;DR of it: You have to be born with magic to use it, there are five basic elements someone can be born with (fire, water, wind, earth, energy). Power Ups don't work the same way as they do in the games but they are very much utilized in this AU.

-This AU follows a slice-of-life format and it's main focus for stories is on the characters themselves, no overarching grand plot. It has loose arcs and doesn't follow any sort of chronological system. There are no main villains in the stories of the AU, but if there was one, it'd be Kaptain K. Rool, which is explained a little with the next point.

-K. Rool is the "king" of pirates. Due to the vastness of the oceans of this world (even more vast than our own), paired with the odd technology the world operates with, the ocean is pretty much entirely lawless Difficulties keeping peace amongst the oceans has made it prime grounds for pirates to emerge, and they are so present and consistent that they are the biggest threat to the kingdoms. If it's illegal amongst any of the kingdoms, the pirates most certainly partake in the act. And the worst one of them all is K. Rool, as insane as he is dangerous.

------------------------

If you wanna know more about this AU in depth, check out the Super Mario tag of my blog, or ask me a question. Hope this helps :)

below are some of the details that i also wrote. these are merely to reiterate some points in the carrd.

my blog is my portfolio. you can also look at @yakshasangel for my not SFW works

if you have any other questions feel free to reach out to me here in tumblr pm or discord (link is in the carrd)

like in genshin, i’ll only be giving 4 slots and if i finish early on a slot, then i’ll be opening it immediately. first come, first serve (1/4 slots currently)

HOW MUCH?

i will base on word count. 500 words is the min. word count while 4k shall be the max. word count.

SFW | 100 words = $1 / PHP50

Not SFW (no minors, more details on carrd) | 100 words = $1.5 / PHP75

NSFW is counted based on the NSFW words. Thus, a mix of SFW & NSFW pricing can be possible in your commission. (see more in the NSFW page in carrd)

if there are 700 SFW words & 250 NSFW words, then the total is $10. 700 ($1 per 100)=$7 + 250 ($1.5 per 100)=$3.

if, for example, the total words are 150, then it shall be $1. if it is 250 then it shall be $2. so on so forth.

payments are also thru Paypal and GCash ONLY

Paypal fees would be included, no need to add it on payment

PROCESS OF APPLYING

You will first reach out to me (tumblr pm or discord) or answer this form so i could reach out to you & the form is also to confirm that you are willingly requesting the commission and the payment for it

Kindly wait for confirmation before paying. After doing so, please send a receipt of the payment. (Please refer to the carrd for more details)

The next step would be writing. The process is within 3-14 days, with additional 1-3 days to check the final work. This is to make sure that I am giving you quality work as much as I can.

Full payment will be required for the work to be released.

If you have any issue with the work, I will not accept a re-write unless it is a valid reason to do so.

You may choose to repost it or edit it, however I will require you to tag my blog somewhere to credit it still. It remains a work of mine and all I ask is credit.

NOTES. feel free to dm me first before filling up the form! and if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to clarify them to me. also, i feel like i should say this but this shall be my savings for inazuma and future patches so… i’ll be really grateful for your help! rb is greatly appreciated:)))

Don't talk about Seb fans on this app, I have stopped visiting his tag & filtered everything I possibly could, unfollowed every blog, and I am a Seb fan. And most of his fan blogs are busy sucking on other people's dick, hardly see anything from them about Seb, his car, his season, his bad luck, his situation... They only remember him either to simp, or to draw/write slash for their ships or talking about some other driver. What's the point of confusing others with Seb pfp & headers lmfao

The only tag I am checking on F1 is Kimi's tag and I seldom do it because in the past it was teeming with hate. And avoiding it turned into a habit. Seb's tag is so full of shit that I deleted it from my tag list long ago.

Since you are here, you must be aware that I am also a shipper, I also add thirsty tags on Seb and Kimi posts and I also do the Opinion ™️ shit. But I don't post my crap on the main tags.

In the past, before DtS and before Instagram culture took over, this place used to have a silent code/agreement. Main tags were for posting content. Pics, edits, gifs, links to interviews/translations, videos, news. And people kept their opinions, thirsting, shipping, hating on their blogs without tagging them or with very specific tags that you could filter. They used to censor the names because they also appear on the tags. They used to put edgy stuff under read mores.

Nobody was posting their silly answers to anons (most of the times self sent) on the main tags, nobody was making nsfw thirst posts there, nobody was putting every little shit that came to their mind, insignificant one liners, race live blogging, shit takes, hate and nc17 long ass fics out there with no read mores.

Then, posting hate became cool. The more shit you spew apparently your moral ground was higher. Also, ykinmk, but apparently, describing how you want some dude's jewels in your crevices right under the guy's absolutely normal pic on the guy's tag brought you followers, so why not? Or slapping your nsfw ship canon on the pic of two dudes and tagging both their names brought in clout, i guess.

Tags became absolutely useless. Actually, the main tags turned into a place to avoid.

In the past, you'd spread your content thru the tags and other side shit you have on your blog got around by your followers and people were contend with it. But currently, the situation is the reverse. For me, I trust my mutuals to reblog the content i want on my dash so that I can avoid looking at the tag and see how someone wants Seb's fingers up their nether regions first thing in the morning 🙄 Look, I like the occasional h*rniness of some users here, but it is on their blogs, not covering almost the whole tags of a driver and if I am forced to scroll thru all that shit to see a new pic of him, then instead of Seb I will be the one f*cking them and I highly doubt they'd like that 😔✊

I don't even want to talk about all the hate people live on like some vampires feeding on rotten energy. Those people are pathological and need serious help.

So, my friend, I am sorry for you. And I understand your situation quite well. If only I had the time and the steely nerves to sift through all that shit and make a Seb blog, too, but I am a poor sod who lives with chronic pain and am either too busy or too lazy.

Hey Emily can you and your writer-reader friends help us with this? It's a long story so sorry for that.

Me and a couple close friends found an author in a new fandom, we've been more or less chatting with her anonymously for a few months now and she's pretty nice we share a lot of brainrots as writer-readers ourselves. This author is kind of a niche writer so it's understandable that she really wants her fans to leave comments and be openly supportive, within this time she even had a depressive episode due to lack of engagement and fandom wankery. All understandable really. She came back a while ago and is back in great mood, and she dropped new fics too.

The problem is, the newest fic was sad and dark, the characters were bitter and the ending was ambiguous, tags and summary conveyed that, it was all intentional and her own friends have been hyping it up as sad bitter dark fic (not problematic dark, just dramatically angsty and bleak that fits canon tonally)

One of us has been going thru a very rough time themself, spiraled badly it seems, and I didn't learn about it until today. They read the fic, not their type of fic at all but I think they just wanted to feel something even if it was negative, judging by the comment. They're a big commenter and they left a long comment detailing all the stuff they liked, quotes, and that they really liked how the ending was not necessarily happy. This started the problem. Now the writer is constantly talking about how she hates sad endings, shading sad/ bittersweet endings, got her friends to post a lot of Happy content about those characters all of a sudden, talking to her other anons like she's venting about my friend's comment and my friend who had been avoiding social media happened to check in once, only to find all of that on their dash. They're now really upset at themself.

It's a messy situation and Idk how to help. I got to talk to my friend after days and this is what I see. They're regretting everything from commenting to ever "bothering" that author by chatting with her like It Is A Mess okay, and of course I'm worried about my friend but Idk how to handle the situation so the author doesn't get any flame or thinks we're attacking her? Our other friend is not as invested so he's okay with dropping the author altogether. Please advise us fanfic veterans we need it badly.

As long as your friend didn’t write anything rude/mean in their comment, I don’t see how they’ve done anything wrong in this situation. It sounds like the author is overreacting to a harmless comment.

At this point, it might be best to no longer engage with the author about this particular fic/topic if it’s going to cause distress to any of the parties involved. It might be better for you and your friend to put some space between y’all and the author for now. Maybe unfollow her until she’s done ranting about this topic. Eliminate the stressor from your lives, y’know? It doesn’t mean you can’t still read and enjoy her fics in the meantime.

I’ve personally reached out to people through chat when a problem has arisen (I wouldn’t try this approach anonymously via an Ask). I like this approach because you can be more direct without outsiders (followers) being in your business. However, I know this approach can be intimidating, especially when you’re trying to talk to a larger blog. Your friend also might not want to risk getting further backlash from the author which is understandable.

If your friend does decide to take the direct conversation approach then remind them not to come off aggressive or super defensive. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. Just a simple, “Hey, sorry for bothering you. I’ve seen you making some posts about so-and-so and I wanted to apologize if it was because of the comment I made on so-and-so fic. Just wanted to let you know I didn’t mean anything bad by it/didn’t mean to imply anything negatively about you/your fics.”

There's really not much else you can do about the situation. Just reassure your friend that they didn't do anything wrong/don't deserve the backlash and then try and wait for the author to move past the topic. It's up to y'all on whether y'all want to still engage with this author in the future.

Best of luck to you 🖤.

I just wanted to say that I will not be reading your blog anymore and why, I don’t need a response from you bc youre entitled to do and talk about whatever you want in YOUR blog. I’m not making an argument about what you should and should not do, I just wanna say my truth. Anyway I came to this blog after a breakup and it was escapism for me bc I loved the gaylor drama and learning about tily and swiftgron. And now I feel like you just gloat a lot about ur gf and that’s great that’s fine I’m really happy for you bc everyone deserves someone they love. But then you talk about tits and how you guys sext and send each other nudes, even tho you don’t go into specifics it kind of just gives me weird and awkward vibes. It just makes me not want to read your blog anymore bc it’s weird for me to read it about ppl that I don’t know if that makes sense. You still talk about celeb drama but it’s diverted a lot from that from what I remember. Also I would respectfully give an opinion about something and I feel like gaslighted by you, it may not be your intention but that’s the way I felt.

Anyway your blog has helped me overall a lot with getting thru my breakup and I truly thank you for that. It’s just not the same blog to me anymore :(

yeah i'm sorry you feel that way i answer asks that people send me and i have a TON of asks about sophia i haven't posted.

much about tily or swiftgron or gaylor has been talked to death yet i still try to post gaylor content and celeb gossip content (which btw is reading about people you don't know) but i can't help that some people ask about my personal life from time to time. i have said the word tits TWICE on this blog in 30,000 posts so idk what you're talking about with that.

anyway here's the definition of gas lighting:

so you really think i've abused you by *checks notes* having a girlfriend and answering questions about it from time to time? and disagreeing with your gaylor takes?

from my pinned post:

listen i'll gladly take criticism about the blog having moved away from celeb gossip and into more community/personal meta. taylor isn't doing anything right now so there isn't a ton of content to comment on though i try. i've been hosting conversations about succession and dickinson and zendaya/tom and the satc cast and colton haynes and pr celeb couples and anything else i can to keep gossip and pop culture at the forefront but it's hard when taylor isn't doing anything. but i have never abused you. it's not abuse to not provide content you like or to disagree with you. it might be bad blogging which i'm open to criticism on, but it's ridiculous to act like i'm personally attacking you.

might i also remind you of this post:

and

and

and

and

so like yeah maybe just block the damn tag if you don't like it?

ALL THAT SAID

i think this is a good opportunity that personal questions about me need to be directed to my personal blog @camcakes because i do want this to be a gossip blog and gaylor blog first and foremost.

anyway

sorry to have failed you so horribly but honestly like... idk i guess there's nothing i can do about it now. i'm not gonna feel bad for having a gf or having people want to hear about her or for disagreeing with people over gaylor.
