Howdy ghouls, folks and dearie- ohs

My name is Hedone and I've been in this community for about three years now. I love it truly and wish never to be parted from it. But in that time I've noticed somethings. Like how it can be difficult to survive it, especially when your starting out I feel. So, to give back I made this;

This is your guide on how to make friends and survive the selfshipping community.

So with that out the way, there are some steps to survive.

Create -

In my view, self shipping is often a creative outlet as it is a comforting one. The ability to take a piece of media into my hands and shape it to my whims and will is often awe-inspiring. I'll admit it's easier to see it with other people than with ourselves.

So with this in mind - start off small, though if you want to go guns blazing you can do that too. It doesn't have to be a lot. If you feel embarrassed, don't be. If you are afraid then don't worry cus your definitely not alone there.

Often times it helps to make a promo. This way people who find you can know some quick facts; your title, your fos and any other bits of info you wish to give. Most people will want to know if you share an fo or not - whether this is in case they are uncomfortable with share or want to know if your comfortable with sharing. Whether you are or not is your choice.

'this user' boxes are a fun way to decorate and tell people about yourself. If your worried about how it looks, then make another one, there's no limit unless you make one. Some people make Cards for it. If that's intimidating, don't worry boo, this is Tumblr - you do you.

My first real post was about what it would be like my mind was like a house and what which fos would stay and which ones would come and go. I posted it three years ago and in all that time it has gotten 16 notes on it. Does that mean that I shouldn't have created it? no, no it doesn't. Because when I read it it makes me happy.

Do a gush post, make art, start 'reblog with your f/o' game, write stories, make a moodboard - start the flow on those creative juices.

interact -

I've seen a lot of people be nervous about talking to new people and I can tell you, I feel the same. Its daunting, talking to someone new and it can be awkward wading through the small talk. Most people are in the same boat as you; nervous and wishing to talk about their fos.

Instead of focusing on being popular, try and make friends instead, its much much more emotionally fulling than the first option. Find people with fos in the same source, and try and build it up from there. You'll find your weridos eventually - you just got to sieve though the rest first. You don't have to be best pals with everyone on there but be friendly.

If you recognise a character, why not send an ask? If you have a mutual in mind, why not try and talk with them? Reblog other people's art and moodboards and posts. Doing content trades is a great way to interact with people (and boo if your worried or don't think your content is very good, don't be - we're all evolving here). Also if you can or just like to draw, you can make fanarts for a selfship you like or would like to be your mutual - like I said before, everyone on here just wants to talk about their fos here, all that is needed is a small push first.

With that in mind not everyone you talk to is going to like you, or interact the same way you do. Everyone has a style to themselves and that's ok - the trick is find someone who has the same, or a similar style as you. Even though we are interacting through a screen, remember that there is another person behind that screen; ask them how they're doing, what they're up to, if anything positive happen in their life.

Also be careful about the kinds of people you want to befriend- do they give back what you give first? Do they share your joy? You're bound to find many you click with, just be patient and don't give up - you got this 👍😊👍

Make Friends From All Walks Of The Community -

You'll never know who you're fandom buddy will be - Antis, proships, all are people and all have a different flavour to one another. Its up to you to pick. I've found that to survive here you have to lay roots. No man is an island after all. If you don't agree with a someone's ship or like it doesn't cost much to just be polite. Being considerate and kind to other people's selfships goes a long way round here.

Insecurity

Its pretty easy to feel intimidated by other's success. feeling like their ships are being validated while yours aren't (trust me here - I know what I speak of) but here's what you have to remember: We're all just people daydreaming about fictional characters - No one is better than you and you f/os will always love you!

This is one of the many reasons why building a foundation of fellow weridos is important, its good to have a someone that your able to lean on and vice versa.

But main point here is that no matter what, no one can take away your fos love for you nor your love for them. And if they try, flip them the 🖕 cus we don't give a 🦆

Karma -

I see a few newbies do this where they go onto someone's blog, reblog a game but not send in an ask from that game. If you reblog an ask game off of someone, sent in an ask from that game. Every little helps and it spreads the love around.

Tumblr is not like Instagram, likes are not the currency here. Reblog other people's art and moodboards and posts. Leave a comment in the tags about the things you like or what you felt like when you saw it, send in an ask about their post.

Remember that even though we are interacting through a screen, there is another person behind that screen; Wishing for the same things as you do.

Take Breaks

It can be tiring on here, takes up a lot of energy so taking breaks can be good for you.

It's not like your fos are going to run away the second you turn your back - come away from Tumblr for a bit and reconnect with the outside, touch some grass, take a walk outside for a while. Its can be for as long as you like. I usually find that I like to take these breaks when I have things planned, so like if I'm going somewhere or have a thing planned I generally just try and stay off Tumblr for as long as I can, till I really want to.

If you feel like your abandoning your fos then why not take them with you? what would they say when your outside? How would they react? What would you say back? things like that.

Like with many of my posts, I doubt it will get much attraction. But if one person sees it and it helps them, then that's my dues paid, my contribute made. A very special thank you to @echoes-lighthouse @wisemins @hibiscus-ships @tex-treasures @missnaunet @vanilla-ending, @multyshipping for all your tips and helps with making this post.

With that said, thank you for reading this and if you never see me again

Merry Meet, Merry Part and Merry met Again.

Hello everyone! I’m lunarago. I needed a place to upload my cover art for my fanfic, so I might as well turn it into a shameless self-promo post. I hope to connect with more Knuxouge fans since I am new to Tumblr (at least, I haven’t used it since 2013…). I’m a little old-fashioned if you can’t already tell.

I’m currently updating this fanfic every weekend. Should I stick to my schedule, the full story should be uploaded by the end of April 2025.

As this is my first fanfic, I welcome any feedback and comments on either platform. I love to hear the thoughts of readers regarding the story’s content and humbly request you read with an extra eye 👁️

Thank you!

Babes, babes, BABES

KALICIA!

1) absolutely hit us with everything you've got a out the first drinking scene

2) any great fic recs?

Kalicia! So totally normal about Kalicia. I've got thoughts.

1) Three main points, really.

Kalinda is immediately and obviously fascinated with Alicia. Inventing excuses to see Alicia more after work? Wonderfully devious. I'm all for it.

I see what she was doing with choosing tequila specifically for this fake after-case "tradition." Gay choice. I-want-to-see-your-tongue choice. 👀🥴

I need to know where Alicia's mind was at to simply ignore that at this supposed firm tradition, no one else was there. Do you think they all hate you or are you just really into spending a private moment with Kalinda? Because, I'm sorry, have you ever been initiated into a workplace culture with essentially none of your coworkers present? Girl was top of her class in law school. Definitely smart enough to figure that one out.

In summary: sapphic

2) I did most of my kalicia reading ages ago, but the one fic I still think about all the time is Still by lunchinanelevator. Everything lunchinanelevator does slaps, though. Wide rec.

These days, tumblr's own @thescullyphile basically single-handedly keeps the kalicia tag pumping and I read all of it. Right here.

And in a quick moment of shameless self-promo, in my mission to write the "a little bdsm could fix them" fic for every ship I've ever shipped, I did As Skin Yields to Knife a few months ago. Just a little (medium-sized?) one-shot.

// Due to the length, it'll be under a read-more

I remember starting my RPing journey back in... 2014-2015 on this little place called Miiverse. It was the most inconvenient place to start RPing, but we all had to start somewhere. and boy did I had to start somewhere; I didn't know much on the whole RPing shtick, using mostly the script style of RPing (e.g. Ruby: dialogue *actions*), threads didn't go anywhere much, and Miiverse had the problem of rarely having RPers thanks to it's "30 posts a day" limit. I hung around for almost a good year I believe until it was time for Miiverse to slowly die out and close it's door.

It was around it's dying years I stumbled further into the internet's other corners. Places like Deviantart and whatnot... and then there was this little place called Tumblr. My curiosity piqued due to knowing a really really REALLY old mutual back on Miiverse and to an extent Deviantart. My start was awfully ROUGH. I didn't know anything about Tumblr and how it rolled; icons, PFPs, writing, etc. I didn't even start RPing until like... around 2016-2017 maybe? It was slightly better than MV, but it was still a bumpy ride. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun learning the ropes.

My start in the platform was rough to say the least; icons weren't used all that much, I didn't really get all semi-lit - literate like I am today, hell I didn't know jack about trimming my posts! but it didn't stop me from trucking on. I slowly but surely learned the ropes, made a small group of friends, met my first love slowly turned toxic bitch of an ex-GF on here, it was going slow but smoothly. Then around the '17 - '18 period, I started fresh with all the experience in hand. Said years rolled around and I slowly transitioned over to Discord as well, making another slew of friends over there as well.

And that was when things kicked off; I was RPing like it was a casual past time of mine, made many of friends, many of foes, but most importantly I was having fun. And then 2022 came around... my self-promo came to be, and I locked in to take my hobby more serious. Now look at how it started vs. how it's going: I started out knowing nothing about RPing, I ended with years of experience under my belt and many mutuals, and with many mutuals eventually came 1,000 followers. I never thought I'd get this far into my life, let alone the RPC, but here we are. And it wouldn't have been possible without some close mutuals I know and like to give a shout-out to:

@astral-multiverse ~ I'm getting the elephant out of the room with the one I've been by their side the most since day one. What started with small interactions here and there slowly turned into full blown long-term RPs broken up by smaller RPs. We made so many ships with your OC (whom I'll say it before and say it again, is one of my faves in the RPC), and OOC you're a blessed bean that I can go to anytime for anything be it nerding out for venting. Thank you so much for being by my side 'til death does us apart, and here's to many more RPs.

@the-expatriate ~ Much like Astral above, we had tiny interactions here and there. But good gracious you are one of the most blessed muns I've had the pleasures of interacting with. Your OC is AMAZING, we were like twins nerding out about music and similar tastes in games/shows, but most importantly you knew me so well with my Autism and was always there to speak to me when needed. I gotta give you the same amount of thanks for being around this long, couldn't have done it without you.

@grayfxce ~ You are literally the SMG4 of the RPC. What started out as a silly concept of roleplaying as the titular anon soon turned into something huge; you fleshed Gray out into an OC that would fit in any place, anywhere. And boy did we nerd out about similar tastes and shitposted like there was no tomorrow! You're one of the many whose company I've enjoyed greatly, and I hope to RP with you again.

@historias-multorum ~ One of my more recent mutuals I had stumbled across after being followed by them... I made the best call I could ever make when I followed back and started interacting. Your portrayals are spot-on, and you're so understanding and to the point in and out of RPing. And shipping with you is always a treat, especially Sasuten! Thank you for being by my side, I greatly appreciate RPing and speaking with you and hope to continue this train.

@musecheerios ~ Also another recent mutual I've began to interact with, and also another call that I've made that was worth it. Our interactions have been amazing so far, both IC and OOC. You're the literal definition of "Soft Baby Hell" and will not take shit with anyone, something I can appreciate in a mun. Talking with you has been amazing, and I hope to interact more with you!

Honorable mentions for muns I've interacted with and/or yearn to interact with more: @on-dragons-wings, @divinityunleashed, @chronicparagon, @whiskeysmulti, @reddawnmultimuse, @dragvnsovl, @mz-pixie (also an old mutual of mine!), @hxroic-wxlls-rxborn, @samayo-tamashi, @wildxcardrebel, @flamesignite

Thank you all so much for being stuck with this anxiety-induce otaku of a mun, and here's to many more with you guys.

~ May your heart be your guiding key ~

Hey there, Redacted Fic Community! Wanna help me with a final project?

Short Version: I'm looking for Redacted fics to read and rate/discuss/analyze as part of my final project for a queer-centered class of mine (specifically mlm pairings and such).

Extended Version: My final is basically going to be me analyzing the way in which masculine queerness is conveyed within fandom via fanfiction. To do so, I need fic recommendations! Because it's focused on masculinity and how that intersects with queerness, I'm looking primarily for mlm pairings. However, polyam pairings are welcome as are pairings featuring listeners, provided: A) there are two speakers involved and/or B) the listener is specifically indicated to be masc. I'll be coming up with my rating/analysis via something similar to a "Get To Know My Ship" template as well as a Redacted Fic Bingo Card created by me.

Note: This will all be in good fun and any analysis I make in regards to a fic will be kept private unless requested directly. I don't fuck with the idea of unsolicited critical feedback, and I'm not about to switch up now.

That said, this is me formally asking for recommendations! They can:

Be submitted by the author or by a reader (We love self-promo here)

Be explicitly rated / NSFW (SFW is also welcome and encouraged)

Feature Polyam Pairings / Speaker Headcanons / Listener OCs (Preferably masc. unless paired with two or more speakers)

Be sent in via reblog, comment, ask, or dm to me

Be non-canon (Including AUs)

Be any length! (One of my all-time fav fics is less than 1K words, I'll eat it up regardless)

Depending on the number of recommendations I get, I won't be able to use every fic. But I would love to see them regardless because there are so many talented writers in this community and I wanna show them some love!

Thanks again to anyone who helps me out with this project!

[eternalmayfly]

Promo hour..... I'm Seven and I have I looooove my F/O's. I love talking about them, but also I love hearing about my friends self ships too! Follow me, won't you? I also post about my dog and she's the cutest thing in this world. You don't wanna miss out :3

All the info you need is here!

[diazsdimples]

I read a lot of fic in the fandom but I'm a longfic reader and my friend that I've just convinced to watch the show is very much not - do you have good oneshot/ <5k recs I can share with her? (all ships welcome)

Hi! I'm also a longfic reader but here's a collection of shorter fics that I love to death!

Pancakes, kisses, and a little bit of TLC - @theotherbuckley (Bucktommy, Teen, 4.5k)

"Buck wakes up with a chronic pain flare-up the morning after, and Tommy takes care of him" Extremely cute and fluffy and full of adorable Bucktommy feels. Purple writes chronic pain!Buck so well and Tommy is amazingly sweet and tender in this. Couldn't recommend more.

all in the Jee-tails - @hippolotamus (Buddie, Teen, 4.5k)

"There is a Princess, Knight, Dragon, Wizard and Damsel in Distress and there is nothing Uncle Buck won't do for his niece." UNCLE BUCK UNCLE BUCK UNCLE BUCK!!!! Just the cutest little fic of Buck, Eddie and Chris hanging out with Jee and playing make believe and it gives me ALL the dad!buck feels. So fucking cute. Do not skip.

And When You Speak, Angels Sing From Above - @neverevan (Buddie, General, 2.8k)

"Buck pops the question but before saying yes, Eddie needs to ask someone else first." I'm not exaggerating when I said this one made me cry a little bit. And by a little, I mean a lot. The perfect fic to introduce your friend to the beauty that is Eddie and Shannon's relationship and how important she is Eddie and Chris' lives. It's a masterpiece. Bring tissues.

turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you - @daffi-990 (Buddie, Unrated but I'm gonna say General/Teen, 3,8k)

"To protect his heart, Eddie pulls away from Buck when he starts dating Natalia. When he decides to move to B-shift, Buck finally confronts him and certain feelings finally come to light." So turns out the most devastating fics in this fandom involve graveyards (thank you s6) and Daffi knows how to drive a knife into your heart with feelings realisations. This is also a tissues one but I'd also suggest something to bite into cause fuuuuck

Drunk on Love - @jesuisici33 (Bucktommy, Explicit, 1.3k)

"“That reminds me…do you remember calling me during the bachelor party?” Buck’s fingers pause. “Uh…I called you?” Buck barely remembers texting Tommy a few times. Seeing the unintelligible texts he sent his boyfriend when Tommy texted him in the hospital filled him with mild embarrassment he quickly forgot about as he kissed him in front of everyone in the waiting room. Tommy nods in delight. “Oh yeah. I couldn’t answer so you left me a bunch of voicemails. You want to hear?”" The thought of Buck and Tommy listening to Buck's drunk voice messages makes me giggle every time, and then it's also just really hot? Highly recommend.

Sweet child of mine - @diazsdimples (Bucktommy, General, 3.4k)

"Buck and Tommy bring their daughter home from the hospital and enjoy their first few hours alone with a newborn baby." Shameless self-promo here. As some of my mutuals will know, Dad!Buck is my favourite thing in the world and this fic was just delightful to write cause BIG BOYS TINY BABY!!!!

There's about a million more but these are the ones that immediately come to mind. If any mutuals have any recs of their own please share with the class!! Hope this helps and happy reading!

[merwyns-archive-will-delete-l8r]

Sooo... Episode 6 is out...

For me this episode is the weakest we've had so far. And I need to rant a bit...

I don't even know where to start. Of course not everything was bad about this episode, like the pride party. I really loved that part.

But there are some icks...

Maybe I set my expectations too high, because I've seen a few posts about how there's a shocking twist, ect. But the hype really ended up going nowhere for me..

First of all, Noa and Jen..

So.. I wish they would just show us why Noa us so attached to Jen. Because all we see is Jen causing trouble for Noa and it sucks. And Noa saying that Jen and her are 'more alike' than her and Shawn felt like a bullshit excuse. And if she really feels that way, why not break off with Shawn right away? Instead she uses him, his money and then cheats on him. I could look past the cheating in Juvie, because Noa didn't know that Shawn would wait for her and that she was scearching for comfort in Jen. But this? This is just bullshit.

Even worse, Jen stole the money from Shawn's mother to give back to him?! Like what the fuck? And Noa is actually still considering a relationship with her after she got accused of stealing the money?

I also don't get how Jen told Noa she doesn't need more on her plate and when she's confronted with her STEALING from Shawn's mother, she turns around again and puts pressure on Noa to make a decision?! Excuse me?

This is just peak self sabotage. She is considering leaving Shawn, who she has a really stable and healthy relationship with for someone who steals and causes her trouble. Are the writers even trying to make us like Jen?

And I expected Noa to get some backlash from the liars. Especially Faran. She always has strong opinions and isn't afraid to voice them, but she doesn't say anything against Noa cheating? This would've been the perfect opportunity to create some tension between the Liars. Not only did Noa lie to them about Jen, she's cheating on Shawn and playing with both of them, which could taint the picture of Noa the other Liars have of her.

Side note: Where is the scene of Jen and Noa that we saw in the promo pictures?

Also, I really hated how easily they just cut Jen off of their list for Bloody Rose.

Next one, I saw some people say that they want Kelly to die a horrible death now. But I still don't want her to die.

What she did was horrible and hurtful to Imogen, but I don't think Kelly really had another choice. Her mom is abusive and she had to obey her and therefore the church to avoid further trauma and abuse. She has no other choice but to adapt to the view of the church to survive. And I think that's really sad.

I want her to get the chance to work through her trauma and redeem herself to the Liars, especially Imogen.

I hope they don't kill her off, because I feel like there could be a lot of ways to further explore her character, because she's so complex.

Side note: I can't take it when my two favorite girlies are fighting T_T Great acting from both of them!

And it seems like we're really pushing Faran x Greg now.. And I'm not sure how to feel about it.

I really like the actors and they do have good chemistry, but I don't really know if I can like this ship..

I mean we could have Faran x Kelly. They're literally right there and would be better representation than Jen x Noa..

And now to the 'big reveal'.

First of all, Imogen's 'test' didn't feel like a test. (I'm also not convinced that Noa actually finished her test last episode.)

It was really lacking, but at least she had her moment last season..

I thought something was up from Davie, as I stated in the first post I made about Summer School. Imogen kept confusing Bloody Roae and her mother throughout the season, but the reveal still didn't really work for me.

We didn't even see her face. And we saw in the trailer that Imogen will accuse Dr Sullivan of being Bloody Rose in episode 7 or 8. We also saw Dr Sullivan saying she's putting on her face, as in becoming Bloody Rose, which will probably be another dream of Imogen.

Imogen has been hallucinating this season so I'm also not sure that we can trust her judgment on this. I hope they don't do the secret twin thing with Davie. That would just be boring, because we got that last season. I assume it was probably a mask to mess with her.

I just don't buy Davie or her secret twin being Bloody Rose and it would be one of the more boring plot twists, if they go through with it. I have read other theories that seem more exciting than this..

Where did Bloody Rose go anyway? And why didn't she kill Imogen? She clearly had the chance to. Wouldn't she want to kill Imogen to keep her identity hidden?

I'm sorry for rambling so much. But I needed to get this off of my chest.

hundred line demo: first thoughts (spoilers ahead!)

starting off strong: i'm glad ALL OF US (yes You the viewer included) hate the twins 🙏🏾 it wouldnt be kodaka without adding unnecessary incest i hate their voices too ima (the boy) has too pretty of a character design to be acting like this if they both perma-died at the end of the full game no one would be mad

gaku is soooo giving kazuichi (i don't rlly like his voice either i think it's grating 😞) but like yeah they have the same vibes + apropos of nothing everyone bar takemaru takumi and tsubasa has like. literal porcelain skin like it's legitimately just plain white it's so jarring

we haven't met kurara or kyoshika yet which is intriguing i'm excited to meet them down the line but i gotta say takumi himself as a character has grown on me + tsubasa is MY BAAABYYYYY i love her to the moon and back her body tea her voice is sweet her design is nice she's tanned i knew i'd love her

and SHOUMA☹️☹️☹️☹️ oh i adopted him instantly he has such a concerningly low self-esteem i'm so worried about him i hope that changes at some point throughout the game he instantly shot up my favourites list sigh my shayla

eito... oh eito eito eito i'm obsessed with you NO BECAUSE I WAS SO READY TO TAKE HIM BEING A GOOD GUY AT FACE VALUE like the promo material and heck the demo itself paints eito as nothing but a good guy but... idk ever since ppl on twitter and tumblr have been saying he gives antagonist/shady vibes i've been starting to see him differently NOT TO MENTION the cg of him and takumi getting 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 WHOAAAAAA i alr shipped sumisuki but when i saw that cg my jaw dropped like there is something deeply deeply wrong with eito aotsuki and i support him entirely i can already SEE his "deep friendship" with takumi turning into an obsession i'm sat 🪑

unpopular opinion incoming: i hate hate HAAAATEEEEE DARUMI I HATE UER I HATE HER I HATE HER I HATE HERRRRRR she's like if junko and guillaume had a baby that tried to reheat harley quinn's nachos but failed miserably like We Get It she thinks she's in a killing game she likes blood and gore and horror she's a manic pixie emo goth girl or whatever WE GET IT her design is an eyesore i hate her voice the only good things about her r the shades of blue used for her hair and her defense uniform (and the dangan references)

takemaru's chill he's like mondo with more of a moral code 🐎 streets have been calling him ishimondo's son which i can get behind plus he made an explicit trans joke which 🙌🏾🙂‍↕️ it's peak [he's 36 tho] also hiruko is a character who's... there! idrgaf about her but i mean she's a skilled fighter and she seems to keep everyone in line she and takemaru butt heads a lot which is a dynamic i can get behind whether that's rivals to lovers or gay-lesbian hostility i don't rlly mind but they both have that fighting spirit

sirei's voice was not at awl what i was expecting 💀 he's a funny guy and his design is cute and erm THE MONOKUMA REFERENCE!!!! IN SIREI'S CELEBRATION SPRITE THERE WAS A BIT OF CONFETTI THAT WAS MONOKUMA'S HEAD tell me why i shrieked i'm sick but he can't be dead surely? we need our exposition guy how else are we gonna learn the secrets of the academy Though we still have that other mascot to meet plus sirei "died" within the undying flames if i'm not mistaken so he can be revived i think? i hope so (but also he's not human like them so i don't think revival wld work the same way thinking back on it it's definitely a fake-out he wouldn't be dead dead so early in) ((icl when darumi died i thought that was it frl i was about to celebrate by throwing something on the grill but no they're immortal))

BroooooI wanted to do the question thiingingintinf that u reblogged ifydm <3

Okaokay so JECKA (My baby) withhh 2,3,5,12,13,16 and 22 (is that too much?? Sry if it is 😭)

Lol it’s no issue, these are actually kinda fun. It took me a bit to come up with some of them:

2. Favorite canon thing

While some people see it as a headcanon, it's referenced in-game that Jecka is book smart (all the AP classes that she takes, and I think she's mentioned to be a straight-A student somewhere, but lol someone correct me if I'm wrong). I just like the idea that she's a secret nerd.

I also like how she has a good head on her shoulders, trying to keep Nicole out of trouble, despite her own problematic issues (letting Nicole get away with some things as long as it doesn't affect her).

3. Least favorite canon thing

Her in-game art sprite, excluding the promo art for Flip Side--that art made her look so good that I forgot her game was a flop.

I'm sure other people have noticed it too, but it's not just Jecka's sprite art I dislike, it's all the female characters. Their chests look too big to a point where it feels like the creator sexualizes them. But I guess that's not surprising coming from someone who projects himself onto Jeffery.

5. First song that comes to mind

I actually don't have a song that comes to mind that makes me think of Jecka, but if I did, I'd probably say maybe a few R&B songs (mostly because of Flip Side's intro song).

12. Headcanon for this character

I have quite a few, but some are headcanons that the general fandom has had:

Has anger issues stemmed from her tumultuous home life (learned from her dad)

Neurotic and probably a control freak over a lot of things in her life, which can be seen from how she reacts to things going wrong (Nicole getting shot, breaking down in front of the school therapist about her dad's abuse and side job stepping on men for money, dating Mr. Katz just so she could get an A in the class)

More toned and works out a lot compared to Nicole's noodley body

Her form of self-harm is typically overworking herself to keep herself from overthinking

Constantly thinking about the future (and things hopefully getting better after high school) keeps her from giving into her depression

13. Emoji

Sometimes I think of this one 💅when it comes to Jecka. But I think she probably uses this one 😘 ironically at first when texting Nicole.

16. Least favorite ship for this character

I was going to mention a femslash ship, but it's already super niche and rare anyway that there's no need to even bring it up. I don't really dislike it, but I'm just not invested all too much in the other character Jecka is shipped with.

Other than that, all the men in the game.

22. Like/Dislike from fic

I don't think I've come across it, but I'm not really the biggest fan of when a fic makes Jecka out to be the "good guy" or morally better than Nicole, which isn't a high bar when we're thinking of the games. She can be pretty naive and let morally corrupt things happen (White Pride Ending from the first game) even if it's not to the same extent as Nicole. I mostly bring this up because I've seen some YouTube comments make Jecka to be a completely flawless person (again, in comparison to Nicole).

Things I do like in fic is when more of her character is expanded upon with what little we got in the first two games (actually, throw in Flip Side too because that game barely went much about Jecka's character).

As much as Flip Side was a flop, there was a comment in one of the gameplay videos that mentioned how Jecka seems to have a shorter temper than Nicole (immediately yelling at Crispin to tell him to fuck off). It made me think of wanting to see more fics that expand on Jecka turning out to be just like her dad even if she doesn't mean to.

Behold, a book!

THE OBLIVION BRIDE is my new f/f age gap arranged marriage novella, out now from Neon Hemlock, a very cool queer press. You should check them out.

You can fit all sorts of grief and drama in this bad boy. We’ve got self destructive magic, we’ve got ambivalent and awkward feelings about needing to get pregnant with your new wife’s magical kid, we’ve got a landscape that warps you a hundred miles away with every step if you’re not careful.

And we’ve also got a very sexy bit of promo art by Matthew Spencer:

Also some very cool people have said some very nice things about it.

If any of this sounds appealing, you can snag it now at most of your favorite online retailers - but if you order direct from Neon Hemlock, you also get that very pretty art shipped with it.

(And if you’re patient, there’s an audiobook coming and I can confirm the narrators? Perfection. Beautiful. Amazing.)
