1. why did you choose your url?

growing up, i just wasn't a social media girl purely bc of the fact that my parents were super strict and I assumed they wouldn't allow me to have it and I just never really saw the appeal anyways.

[send-up-my-heart-to-you]

what is the story of you and violet like how did you start and how did it reach to where it did, of course only if you’re comfortable. ( i’m not trying to mock you or make fun of it, ik what you went through but since you said anything personal, i have wanted to know this. i’m interested in things which are none of my business. i pray im not sounding rude, i really want to come of as nicely as i can, but i can’t)

whole story below the cut, there’s a tldr at the end bc i added a load of unnecessary details. js brace its kind of a long one.

so we met when i was 12 and he was 15. i remember it was june 2020. i didn’t like him at first—got sort of a weird vibe. but then i got to know him more and, by september-ish, he became one of my best friends. by november, i thought of myself as having a crush on him (i didnt know i was aroace at the time) but i never made a move bc he was dating one of my friends, lets call her jude. we talked pretty much every day. i had to leave our friend group for safety reasons but he was my source of contact with the rest of my friends. i think we mainly talked on discord at the time?

flash forward to new years eve of 2020, and something happens. i’ll spare you the details, but needless to say my devices got confiscated. i still remembered his discord id, so i got my best friend to msg him and tell him what happened. i also got my favorite cousin to do the same, so he’d have two ways of talking to me.

keep in mind, my best friend and cousin both had it in their minds that i had a crush on him, so they’d both try to get him to like me. in june i think he broke up w jude. my cousin was also in regular contact with jude on instagram, so i got to msg jude at some point after the breakup and i distinctly remember her saying she’d be okay if i dated him but she personally was so unhappy w him. i didnt get that, but i think i later did

years pass w barely any contact. december 2022, i start dating someone else. january 2023, i realize i chose the absolute worst person and i break things off. then april 2023, i manage to get in contact w violet. we start dating the next day. (here he’s told me that he’s genderqueer he/she, but later he denied this)

i talked to him anytime i could and he'd send selfies a lot. i was scared about my parents so i asked him not to. he'd do it anyway. i didnt ask him to stop after that

he wasn’t necessarily a bad boyfriend, i js didnt rlly feel. idk. special? i’d make playlists for him and send voice recordings whispering “i love you” in arabic but i never got any of that back ig. the first few weeks were the best but after that? nothing. i’d send pics and he’d call me pretty and hot and say he’s so lucky to have me. later i found out he called every girl pretty when he’d see a pic of her.

i self-harmed for the first time when i was with him. what he did was ask me to send a pic of it so he could check if its bad. i told him i was suicidal. i dont remember what he said.

and then came june 15th, 2023. what a day. i talked to him at like midnight my time. i remember the last thing he asked was for me to send a selfie so he could show me off to his friend.

then my mom found out. and i was so scared of her getting angry at me that i downed 16 pills and got rushed to the hospital.

my mom didnt get angry. but my devices were confiscated again. and i couldnt talk to him. keep in mind, he knew i was suicidal. i was expecting some kind of response from him through my best friend because he was still talking to her at the time, but i didnt hear anything. instead, nine days after i tried to kill myself, on the 24th of july, he broke up with me. 

i didn’t blame him. when your suicidal gf ghosts you for nine days ofc you’re gonna wanna move on. it’s not his fault. i js felt kind of lonely, yknow? on the 30th i managed to log into my acc to talk to him, to explain everything, n all i saw was a breakup msg. i dunno.

in october-ish of 2023, i managed to get thru to him. i explained everything. he didnt give much of a response, but he did ask if we could keep talking. i said sure. we did keep talking and i invited him to tumblr bc i had more of a presence here than anywhere else. when my mom confiscated tumblr in november, i continued talking to him on google chat

in february 2024 he was my valentine js bc we were both single and alone and we thought itd be fun. i wrote him a letter. he didnt make me anything but its fine. you get the idea we were getting closer again

by this point i realized i wasnt receiving the amount of love i deserve, and i was kind of sad bc he’s not a muslim and i am, so we couldn’t get married, therefore we wouldnt have a future together (i’m the kind of person who wouldn’t have a relationship w someone if it won’t lead to anything in the long-term). he told me he wouldn’t become a muslim or study islam for me, so i respected that. i wouldnt forcibly convert him. but i also acknowledged that i couldn’t be w someone who’s not a muslim, so i asked him to stop talking to me. he said okay.

he’d still reblog stuff and send me asks—he even asked me to write a poem about him for my follower event. but around that time i had kind of been getting drained from exams and i didnt want boy problems on top of that, so i asked him to stop all contact w me. he respected that, as far as i know. he wished for me to have a nice life. i wished the same for him. and i blocked him. i havent talked to him since then at all, i dont think

so yeah. kind of lengthy story thats a whole load of nothing. i dont want you to go bother him about this. he was my friend before being my boyfriend, and he was with me during a dark time in my life. i respect him and i ask for you to please not send hate towards him. think what you will, just dont bother him. i’d be happy to answer anything else, but i think i js about covered everything.

tldr; we met when i was 12 and he was 15. we dated starting when i had just turned 15 and he was almost 18. he broke up with me after i attempted sewerslide. we continued talking for a while after reconnecting but i cut him off again last feb for religious reasons and we havent talked much since.

Fic Tag Game

tagged by @iamfandomcrazy @therulerofallpotatos @dark-visitors sorry it took time to reply, y'know uni stuff and shit <33

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? -8 2. What's your Ao3 word count? -46,208

3. What fandoms do you write for? -Wednesday, ENHYPEN (and Raise Tanin ga ii tho i doubt id write for this again) 4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? gee this is embarrassing i really dont have much 1. BloodyLocks (311) 2.Hyde The Past (74) 3. The Pastor's Son (50) 4. you never forget your first (63) 5. Who doesn't love The Smiths? (39)

In Wednesday? -its the same fics above 5. Do you respond to comments? -I try to reply to all as much as possible but if they aren't positive comments i just erase them lol. But I do appreciate the comments (not like I have a lot but nonetheless they make my day) 6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? -It's not written yet, still in the drafts and I won't spoil >< but to answer that question, I don't think I have written angst, I'm still figuring my way as a writer and if I will to write angst I want it to hurt but with purpose, and I'm not sure how to do that yet. 7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? -all my fics aren't done yet. except for you never forget your first. that's pretty happy, well the Wyler version of happy.

8. Do you get hate on fics? -So far so good. But I do think that I hold back my ideas because I'm still so scared in writing them. Maybe someday when I get bolder I'd get them. Can't wait actually lol. 9. Do you write smut? What kind? -Yes. But it's just light smut. I just begun writing so I'm still exploring myself in that area.

10. Do you write cross-overs? -No, but it sounds interesting. Maybe when I get the idea. 11. Have you ever had a fic translated? -Not that I know of. Prob not. 12. Have you ever cowritten a fic before? -Nope. But I would love to if chance comes! 13. What WIP you would like to finish, but doubt you ever will? -My Reaper and Hyde The Past I have a whole plan laid for these 2. Both drained me until now, but I don't think I'd want to die while they're still unfinished. I will finish them as I promised myself no matter how long that takes. 14. What's your all-time favorite ship? -Wyler! It's more likely that I won't find another ship that tops them. (Just last night I wrote like 2 story of drafts abt them lol they're my favorite brainrot)

15. What are your writing strengths? -Narrating and dialogue. Having tons of ideas for a fic.

16. What are your writing weaknesses? -Thinking for the fic in the long run, and missing out some of the details that can make the fic more, not sure how but just more, and this factor makes me write slower. As well as being too self-conscious and ending up complying to the safest choice. Oh and fight scenes, they just seem like fairies fist-fighting when I read them lol makes me laugh. 17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? - I've thought so much about Wyler in Filipino. Somehow they can fit, but I don't think I have the determination for that yet. This made me remember @ablatheringblatherskite idea for Filipino/cultural mythological creatures for some reason, I want to write a fic about that someday as I know a lot about Filipino folklores.

18. First fandom you wrote for? -WYLER. It's BloodyLocks I had my ao3 acc made months before just so I can comment to the fics I liked with ease. But when Wednesday came out, I suddenly became a fic writer lol. Thanks to their dynamic, I have one more hobby that drives me slowly to insanity. 19. Favorite fic you've ever written? -Hmm, I thought of Hyde The Past right away, (I have a lot, I mean A LOT, that I have written for this fic, but its hard to connect them now) it pushes me to the edge of burnout. At the moment The Pastor's Son is the easiest to write and I'm personally liking where it's going.

20. What fic would you want to rewrite one day? -Hyde The Past If I can rewind time, I would write it so much better and wouldn't rush. You can say that when I wrote that fic I was in my lowest, and it hurts my eyes and brain when I try to read it as I think of what should happen next. It's probably one of the reasons why it's taking me so long to finish it.

I'm tagging @tastethesetears @cosmic-lullaby @nouklea @lovepoison9 @writerrose1998 @chinita-inzunza @ablatheringblatherskite @anotherbluesunday @chaoticstupiddm i don't know who was been tagged and if you have u can just ignore this <33

"I, too, have a destiny! This death will be ART!!"

✨ Introduction Post!! 🖌️✨

{Welcome to my account, my little bunnies! You can me Angel or Avery. I'm the owner of this beautiful acc. This post is my introduction and starter for my main muse and rules. When i am OOC - i use {} brackets, and prefer to use quotation marks and small paragraphs when IN character.}

{ OOC - I use They/He/It pronouns, while my muse uses She/Her pronouns. To make it simple; I am okay with basically any topic/genre of RP, as long as it isn't problematic and toxic. || i usually go for OC x canon stories or angst to add some spice to it, tho. || PEDOS/ZOOPHILES/PROSHIPPERS/TOXIC MF-ERS DNI!! || 16+ ONLY!! || }

Now. Onto my main muse!! Angel!

{Note: 2 of the images were screenshot redraws of Chicha. Angel has a similar facial shape but the same eyes as her.}

Name: Angel

Movie/Series: Emperor's New Groove Age: 18 years Gender: female Sexuality: Bisexual Pronouns: She/Her Height: 5"4' Body type: Curvy and chubby Personality: Hot-headed, sensitive, obsessive, clingy, artistic, (literally a mixture of her mother and she copies the emperor sometimes) Nationality: unknown Languages: English, practicing Spanish and Japanese

Voice claim; Brutus - The buttress

Mother: Yzma Crushes: Kuzco and Deo

Being born as the daughter of the Emperor's advisor (Yzma), Angel was kept a secret for nearly 5 years, but still treated like a daughter with love and affection, but also heartbreak and shouts of negativity. Angel was soon introduced to Kuzco to be his royal painter and 'best friend' when they were both around 6 years old. Kuzco didn't have much interest in her only because she was a servant and he was a literal child at the time. Yzma would discuss plans with Angel and try to force her to help out, but some failures happened. Angel has been verbally and emotionally abused by her mother but she still loved her with all her heart.

The older she got, Angel started catching on the manipulation, feeling like a tool. Confronting her mother at age 10, Yzma became more distant with Angel, but started to feel bad the more she was away from her. Trying to make up for her negative actions, Angel was already about 12-13 years old, and could see how similar Angel has become to her; hot-headed, loud, but holds a sense of fashion, and so forth, making this more difficult than it should be. At age 14, the two had made up a bit, tried to think of plans of actual mother and daughter hangouts and future plans…. But it became worse once again.

Yzma had paid more attention to Kuzco and tried to think what would be the best to get rid of him and make herself the Empress, Angel calling her out in a fit of rage and was… Kicked out.

Angel had to move away, and become a villager, restart her life, etc. She felt miserable, wishing her and her mother had a better relationship. Angel had started drinking shortly after moving into a village. She had been through a deep depression and caused harmed upon herself, physically and mentally. Her life (after the age of 15) slowly got better, but she still had a bad drinking habit. She met the village 'crazy boy', Deo, and the two clinged on to each other and connected right away, as if they were destined to meet.

The two would chat about anything, from Family, to weird thoughts, to even their crush on the emperor.

By the time they were both 18, Angel had gotten the summons… She was asked to be Kuzco's royal painter once more after he found out the truth about her. She agreed, but only if Deo was allowed to tag along. He was skeptical at first, but since Kuzco was a better person, he gave in and allowed it. Deo and Angel were going back and forth from the villages to the palace, living the dream.

{All information was copy and pasted from my notes - Hopefully it all makes some form of sense. I hope y'all like this and anyone who wishes to rp, feel free to comment or DM me.}

{Bye, my lil' bunnies!!}

[zhongscara]

scara. all 50. zhongli for anything that involves another character. bet you won't

dont doubt my delusions anon. everything under the cut :3

1. Canon I outright reject

none so far? i love this bastard poor meow meow...

2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

i hc he was modeled after makoto, whether on purpose or just instinctively by a mourning, desperate, ei.

3. Obscure headcanon

idk if this counts bc it's like. anti-common headcanon but i don't think he has doll joints all over i think it's just his wrists and ankles bc those are tricky to make... for hinge joints like elbows and knees ei was probably like lol this is easy

4. Favorite line

"the first one to betray me was a god. my creator... my mother." like oh wow. the pain in that line. the implications. the LAYERS. even after all that pain he hatred he still sees ei as his mother that betrayed her. he thinks of himself as an abandoned child.

5. Best personality trait

deep down (like deep down), he cares a lot about others, and now he's actually trying to show it awkwardly instead of just ignoring that and getting violent lol

6. Worst personality trait

WHERE DO I START......................... i think for worst i'd say definitely his god complex bc it carries over onto everything in his personality and makes him so frustrating to deal with lol

7. Age/height/weight headcanon

i mean hes like 500 years old... for modern aus i have him at like mid to late 20s, early 30s cursed with a baby face at most. hes like 165cm at most I LOVE SHORT SCARA!!! also idgaf abt his weight like that

8. Unpopular opinion about them

i don't think the sumeru interlude was about "redeeming" him. like yeah hoyo poor little meow meow'd him (which i agree with like awwww look at this crying kitty) but it's important to note that even with the opportunity to reject his pact actions he insists that they're a part of him and wants his painful memories and past back so he can feel whole. and after that he's still (rightfully) regarded with some suspicion by traveler/paimon unlike other characters (cough).

9. Scene that first made me love (or hate) the character

started playing on my friends acc during sumeru, so the first scene i saw of him was literally the divine will cutscene... and yeah i was hooked.

10. Best moment on screen (or in the book)

honestly? him begging for nahida to not take the gnosis was CRAZY like cmon cinema.

11. Faceclaim for the role

none really lol

12. Crack headcanon

i can't think of any lol all my hcs are serious even the crazy ones bc he's crazy

13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done

egging on the traveler by dissing nahida like Girl (nongendered) have we learned nothing?! he deserved that smackdown with all that shit he was talking lmfao

14. Most heroic moment

i guess you could count him trying to erase himself bc he thought he could save the people of tatarasuna as "heroic" but its kind of a stretch LOL

15. Worst thing they’ve ever done

(waves hand) he's done so many crimes but probably his mass murdering

16. Deepest darkest secret they won’t even admit to themselves

he still wants ei to acknowledge him as her son and he craves her affection, even.

17. Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them

songs: a lot but particularly mitski - cop car, chvrches - broken bones, mother mother - oh ana poetry: joan tierney's how to build a table and interview w/ the machine woman

18. What they’d go to see a therapist about

everything. if he decides he actually wants to go he has a whoooooole lot to discuss whew.

19. Vices/bad habits

i cant think of a specific one for canon bc (waves hand) Look At Him. but for modern aus he indulges in some cheap beer drinking for sure

20. Scars

he definitely has scars on his back from when he was hooked up to shouki no kami. being a puppet though, i don't think he has any smaller scars showing.

21. Drink of choice (not just alcoholic)

bitter tea (as in canon). if he's drinking alcohol he would drink nearly anything i feel...

22. Best physical feature

his sparkling eyes that make you think hes sweet and not full of anger. also his thighs.

23. If they were a scented candle, what would they smell like?

my first thought is something like the sea... the beach... idk why lol

24. Most annoying habit

kicking/elbowing in his sleep bc he sure puts power into them (zhongli wakes up with mysterious bruises a lot)

25. 3 things they’d want to take with them if they were dropped off in the middle of nowhere

he's that annoying guy who would say "a boat" or something like that

26. What they would do if stuck in an elevator with Zhongli

in canon: avoid him as much as possible and try not to reveal his connection to ei (kind of pointless bc hes literally made to look like her but dont tell him that)

in my delusions: 👏🏽 making 👏🏽 out 👏🏽 sloppy 👏🏽 style 👏🏽

27. Their guilty pleasure

fontaine detective novels in canon. in modern aus he enjoys watching trashy reality tv and making fun of the people/contestants

28. How they feel about Zhongli

in canon: hates him as much as he hates other gods, but i like to think he's slightly intimidated by him but will never admit it due to him being an ancient god that's even older than ei.

in my delusions: same as above but with added sexual tension. later on he just wants him sloppy style and this annoys him.

29. Eating habits

canon: he only eats for social purposes/when prompted since he doesn't really need it. he tries to finish as quickly as possible to avoid the social aspect of eating together lol

modern aus: he prefers to snack randomly throughout the day!

30. Sleeping habits

he usually sleeps all curled up. he also kicks in his sleep. (not me treating him like a cat)

31. If they had a tumblr what would it look like?

two options: aesthetic photo-only blog with a minimal dark theme and vague tags OR a troll/drama blog that always starts shit lmfao

32. Something guaranteed to make them smile/laugh

he'll always laugh at someone else's expense let's be honest like he's the guy that laughs when someone trips

33. Something guaranteed to make them cry

do NOT bring up ei!!!

34. How they react when they are feeling X emotion (sad, angry, excited, scared, etc.—can specify as many as you like)

every emotion he experiences is intense and i think he reacts to most of them by lashing out at others (usually violently) lol

35. Their idea of a perfect day

a day where no one bothers him and he gets to wander (heh) and just mind his business.

36. Their favorite season

none of them. JSHGJKHSDJKGHSDJKGHSDGJKSDHKJ

37. What they really think about themselves

(smacks him) this puppet body can hold SO much self-hate and god complex all together.

38. Favorite holiday

gonna be delusional and say new years because zhongli birthday and his birthday soon

39. Favorite game

in modern aus i just know he'd be a silent hill enthusiast. in canon universe i think he doesn't like teyvat games in general he just seems them as frivolous fluff.

40. Favorite book

i bet he enjoys some fontaine detective novels. he hates inazuma light novels though.

41. If they could have lunch with anyone in the world (living or dead, from any fictional universe or the real world), who would it be?

one last lunch with niwa so he can say goodbye properly :)

42. 3 comfort items

the small cloth doll he made

his vision

that's all honestly. delusional me says anything of zhonglis but yknow

43. 3 favorite foods and 3 they despise

answering these kinda questions for genshin characters is so funny bc they have official answers... but outside of that his 3 faves are dark chocolate (more bitter the better), takoyaki, and . for what he hates well... all sweet desserts LMFAO.

44. Their happiest memory

the first birthday he celebrated at tatarasuna :) i imagine katsuragi and niwa decided his birthday so it would coincide with new year celebrations, and for his "first" birthday in particular they all surprised him and he cried (in a good way).

45. Their favorite celebrity

none LOL

46. The person they most admire

i'd say nahida would be the closest? although it's more a begrudging respect.

47. Their dream job

he does not dream of labor. if he could fuck around doing nothing forever he would.

48. Scariest moment of their life

definitely the first time he was experimented on. like i can imagine "unlocking" his power was very painful and terrifying and like. yknow. being experimented on in general is scary.

49. Favorite toy as a child

i don't think he liked toys even as kabukimono JSHDGKJSHGKJ

50. A memory they’ve blocked out

again, the first time he was experimented on.

Hii

I've been a fan of your acc for a while now (and i do believe you like mine also cuz I'm pretty sure ur one of my anons hehe)

You can probs guess who I am but if you do pls keep it secret.

I was wondering if i could be ⭐️ anon?

And for the question thingy … 7, 9, 15, 16

Thanks <3

- ⭐️

Hiii, oo I think I may have a clue? If so then your account must be pretty special, I only really interact with ones I vibe with in the anon asks. I’m not 100% my guess is correct but don’t worry you can remain an anon :)⭐️

7~ honestly? Black😭😂

9~lavender and my girls voice

15~ sadly I don’t, I’m not very green fingered but I do love plants

16~ I have two for two different reasons.

1~ it’s a maroon hoodie with a logo on the front, it’s the last hoodie I ever held my cat in, she passed away on me while I was wearing it. So I feel connected to her when I wear it. This was nearly two years ago but I’ve owned the hoodie for four years

2~ is my tie dye hoodie that @just-your-casual-nerd made for me I love it sm it’s so damn comfy

[whataphantasia]

[averys-happy-space]

club penguin rambles

there are a LOT of images bc the post is abt cp outfits. but also a ton of text bc i talk way too much. also I POSTED THIS ON THE WRONG ACC. I POSTED IT ON MY THEME TESTING BLOG BY ACCIDENT SO I HAD TO REPOST THIS. its the 11pm brain fog getting to me

okay so club penguin released a new clothing catalogue for november and here's my hippie fall outfit i came up with. it's designed around the sweater bc i thought the sweater was super cute but there wasn't any other hand item except guitar that really matched with the outfit. and like yes i could have it without the guitar (which i did do to take the 2nd pic) but i wanna equip a hand item!!! which sounds really stupid bc it is stupid but i'm picky and idc. the sweater IS adorable tho like look at it, its got little puffles on it and shit!!!! fucking adorable!!! and the colour is so pretty and nice too :3c i would buy that sweater if it existed irl. also look at the cool ass ghost puffle!!! their name is goober LMAO i dont rmb why i named them that. i think i was thinking like goofy goober but i already have an orange puffle named goofy ah so i guess thats why i just named this ghost puffle goober? genuinely i have no fucking clue. but i'm gonna keep them around cuz they look dope as fuck and also they match my penguins purple skin colour which i think is neat.

other outfits

since i am making a post abt cp outfits i also decided to add my previous outfits (that i have screenshots of) to this post too just to archive them so i can come back in 10 yrs and be like wow 16 yr old me had horrible fashion taste. (i hope tumblr is still around in 10 yrs. i mean, its lasted 15 yrs, so like whats another 10 right?)

for context:

the first one is one of my earliest outfits which i made with help & advice from moose bc i suck at fashion (thank u moose). i think it looks cool, tho there wasnt like a theme or anything that i was going for. i just liked the hair + jacket and wanted to make an outfit with it lol

the pizza one is from the pizza party event. do not ask me why they had a pizza party event. i have no idea. anyway it was really stupid but fun and i suck at the pizzatron 3000 minigame. i wanted to use a mouse for it but my mom took my mouse when she took my gaming pc so i had to use mac trackpad to play and boy it was Not good. also i gave my puffle jellybean a sombrero which i know is mexican and pizzas are from italy but i didnt know what else to give him!!! plus he looks really stupid cuz the sombrero is massive which i think is cute. oh yea, also i met rookie during the pizza party and i wanted to equip his background but my penguin covers half of rookies body and it didnt look good so i ended up going for this bg instead. its kinda lame but whatever, i still got to meet rookie and thats all that matters <3 (btw, for context, theres lots of npc mascots in the game and every so often they "come online" (its just a bot walking around really) and if u join the same area as them, u get a stamp + bg gift. i met rookie & jetpack guy during the pizza party and got their stamps and gifts but i love rookie more lol, hence why i wanted to use his bg. its too sad it didnt fit nicely bc i think its a p cool bg but oh well)

the bottom two are just variations of each other. basically for the sept or oct catalogue (i forgot which), the cp team added a bunch of punk stuff and i bought all of it bc it actually looked dope as hell. the one on the left came first but i didnt rlly vibe w the hair which is why i ended up changing it. also, the wings are a neck item which is why the first outfit doesn't have the dog tags even tho i wanted them. couldn't have both ): anyway, the second one came about after i got to meet cadence during the music party and i LOVE cadence (i had a massive crush on her when i was younger. like literally shes so pretty?!!) so i got rid of the raven wings so u can see her face in the bg. i can't lie i do think the bg is a bit lame bc its completely empty on the right which makes it feel kinda unbalanced, also u can see i have the cadence signature pin equipped. u can't change the positioning of the pin which sucks bc i would've put it on the right if i could but oh well. and yea i added the dog tags since no more wings. i accidentally clicked jellybean before taking this pic so it sent him home LMAOOO and i couldnt be bothered to get him back at the time so thats why hes missing from the pic. overall i think this outfit is def my favourite, the vibes are just so good. i love punk. oh and also the vampire teeth are bc the catalogue was mainly a halloween theme and well, they looked cool lol

for the record, jellybean is my favourite puffle hence why hes in all these pics. idk why but i just love white puffles, theyre so adorable and smiley despite being shy. also white puffles are slightly smaller than all other puffles which makes them 10x cuter. but i'm gonna keep goober around for a while just cuz they look cool as fuck. but i'll prob switch over back to jellybean when its closer to xmas. anyway its now 1120pm (i spent like half an hour writing this) so im going to sleep. goodnight

𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 +02 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.ᐟ

💭 A disclaimer that anything stated below has no correlation with the real muse I currently use and is only related to the writer.

1. Hal terplot twist yang pernah lu alamin di rp

I used to date this one girl back then. Everything seemed okay to me. We exchanged rl stuffs with each other's consent. She told me she was older than me and a foreigner. I was like, 'Okay?' until she finally confessed that she was actually just a minor and not a foreigner.. That was a bit shocking and confusing as hell because that means I dated a friggin minor. 😮‍���

2. What's your biggest red flag?

Procrastinating. I don't know if this counts as a red flag, but it's something serious for me and something I need to fix!

3. What was the biggest lesson you learned from your last relationship

Maybe I need to be careful and set boundaries to not cross the line, even though I don’t have any intention to. In this context, the RP relationship should just stay here.

4. Kiss, marry, kick member +02

Kith @aisailee @bshangen, marry @kimgaeulm, kick @odteu

5. tag 1 member di sini yh dan bilang sesuatu (misal ⁦@odteu⁩ eh kocak)

@imnotningnig lov u, bb.

6. Spill chara dari selama main rp yang bikin nyaman dan ngerasa bahwa lo dia banget.

Xinyu 🥺

7. Ada chara yang lagi pingin lo mainin gak tapi belum kesampaian, kalau ada sebutin fc-nya

Mamamoo's Wheein.

8. Kalo misal bisa bebas milih pcr buat 3 hari, chara siapa yang kamu pengen?

It's obvious for some people who knows me well. ❗tripleS Sohyun❗

9. Ada fc yang bikin kalian trauma?

Yep. Blackpink rps.

10. How about toxic relationship

If we could use an analogy, a toxic relationship is like a painful tooth. You're afraid to take it out because it would really hurt, but if you don't do anything about it, that tooth could hurt you even more if it stays.

11. Express your feelings to someone you've kept to yourself anonymously.

I really want to move on from you.

12. Your opinion about age-gap rls (satunya fc legal, satunya fc minor)

I honestly don't really mind about that since it's only roleplay, but to avoid any unwanted issues, it's better not to.

13. Say something to someone who isn't here anymore. (lrp atau move acc)

I kinda miss you, and I hope you're doing okay with your life now.

14. random pic yang bikin kalian inget sm mantan

15. wajar ga sih benci orang di rp? terus gimana cara biar ga benci orang di rp versi kamu?

For me, hate is such a strong word. I don't think I've ever hated anyone in my life. I easily get annoyed with people, but I usually just shrug it off and go about my day. Thinking about someone I don't like could ruin my mood, so I choose not to dwell on it too much.

16. biasanya akhir kisah cintamu di rp ditinggalin atau ninggalin?

It actually depends on the situation. But thinking about it again, I'm usually the one who leaves them first.

17. Gimana kesan pesan selama di +02?

For real, I think I could write a long ass letter to express how happy I am to have met you guys. I really enjoy my time here. Please stay this FUNNY!

18. What’s your biggest green flag?

I am confident that I have a level of patience that most people probably don't. I'm also good at controlling my emotions, especially my anger.

19. Platform main RP mana yang paling berkesan?

I only do RP on Twitter/X, so the answer is obvious!

20. Chara terlama kalian apa?

Mamamoo's Moonbyul.

21. Spill chara inceran eak (chara aja gak perlu orangnya)

I actually don't mind tagging the person, but it's Sohyun.

22. Spill teh teraneh yang pernah kelen tau, alami, terlibat (viral atw egk gak masalah)

I think the recent issue involved me when I randomly tagged someone whose account was still active. I swear it wasn’t that deep, but people made it worse by engaging with the complaint tweet.

23. Spill lagu non kpop, non pop indo, dan west pop yang kalian suka.

24. Pribadi kalian gimana? (OC)

It may seem different from everyone's perspective, but if I have to describe my personality, I would say I am someone people can rely on, like a sister figure maybe.

25. tag anak +02 yang first impressionnya terlihat akan susah didekati

@jipseok ^___^

26. Spill alasan kalian masih main RP.

Real-life struggles brought me back here, honestly, to help me stay sane.

27. Spill 3 lagu yang mencerminkan suasana hati kalian saat ini.

why are under 16 not allowed to interact with you? that seems like such a random number and was just wondering if there was a reason

my darling hi !! when i was under 15 and started my acc on tumblr i saw very iffy things so i guess that’s why i added it 😭 i didn’t really put much thought into it 😃 now that i do think about it, i think it made me more comfortable with keeping people 16-17+, because i do have friends that are 17 and upwards. i’m the youngest of all cousins/family so im more comfortable with older people i guess ??? 😃😃😃

i’m thinking of changing the age to 17-18+ blog, because i will participate in nsfw writing or even moooore suggestive stuff, and i don’t want people to go through the same thing i did!! i’ll make sure ill tag everything, and i want to make sure that if i keep 16-17 as the minimum, that they can blog my nsfw tag 😊

[sleep3deprived]

Hi everyone! I know i’ve been gone for such a long time and a lot has happened.

I just want to preface by saying that I come and go on this account and i’m going to stay on hiatus for awhile. my life has been moving so quick and i made this account and started actively posting when I was only 15-16 and im 19 now so my mindset has not only changed but also the way i write (i went into uni for journalism so something came out of me being a writer) and i don’t watch as much of anime anymore so whenever i do get back into it, ill try my best to adapt it into my writing.

honeslty this platform has given me so much and the more i think about it, i just have fond memories and felt i could’ve really worked up if i kept actively posting but my last year of hs was exhausting and now im a sophomore in uni so now im juggling adult life- which is intense.

idk i guess im just here ranting bc no one acc knows who i am here, just a girl who enjoys writing and wants to update the unknown on my life.

my main inspiration for my writing and whom i based all of my works on, broke up with me. acc cheated on me a year ago which was weird to imagine but a year later i found love again and have some other inspo. i didn’t forget you guys, never could. i have some drafts of my own writing based of him in my laptop and i might just change the names and add some more details and post.

but yeah…life is a crazy journey and i’m formed into this woman who I didn’t expect to be 4 years ago but i’ll be back eventually and when i do, i’ll be better than before.

all love guys ❤️

[the-art-in-arthesia-is-loud]

what the character tags reference

h. HI.

so the ocs in the rg-verse have their own tags obviously, but their tags are also accompanied by a quote/sentence. i wanted to explain what they mean/reference so yeah!!!! under the cut as always lel

also i mentioned spoilers for final verdict and silent answer (specifically one last dream), the two parts of arcaea's main story, in this post. proceed with caution

———

1. "don't let him go" (ars):

this.....actually has smth to do with lore. i haven't explained much abt ars lore yet. not even in his trivia post, so i'll save the explanation for later~

2. "this is just a dream" (lucas):

it's a part in lucid traveler!

3. "another me" (ana):

the name of the song ana is based off of; another me by d_aan!!!

4. "where are you? please don't be dead." (galactic):

it has smth to do with galactic (and spinel)'s backstory. this quote was said months after spinel's disappearance.

5. "i don't give a f***" (destonio):

references a part in destruction 3, 2, 1.

6. "our fates are distorted" (fate):

references the name of the song fate is based off of; distorted fate by sakuzyo!

7. "to the furthest dream" (felicia):

song name for the song that felicia is based off of!

8. "darkest night i'll confront you here" (tessi/the testifier):

the first lyrics of testify.

9. "what an agonizingly long journey it has been" (abstruse):

initially, it references a tweet the official arcaea twitter/x acc made. now it's known as a quote from the severed eden story.

10. "this is all my fault" (trojan):

it has smth to do with the story. not gonna spoil that~

11. "money can't buy happiness (but creating things can" (logos):

uh.....the first part references her bio. the second part however......is pretty much outdated. i'll give her a new, updated tag soon. but not now. BECAUAE I'M LAZY AYGHHFHF

12. "a special kind of texture" (primeval texture):

references a quote in the primeval-lore-focused comic i posted awhile back!

13. "i exist" (ego eimi):

""Ego eimi" (ἐγώ εἰμι) in Ancient Greek means "I am" or "I exist". The phrase has Christian theological significance due to its usage in the Gospel of John, where Jesus uses the phrase to assert his presence and divinity" — thing from arcaea wiki

14. "like an ice cube" (technicolour):

references technicolour's weapon (bc nearly everyone here has their own weapons honestly); a small looking cube. Don't Be Fooled By It's Appearance, However.

15. "to the new dream" (dahlia):

supposed to reference felicia's tag, ig?? lmao

16. "the embodiment of chaos and destruction herself" (arghena):

this has smth to do with lore, so i can't say it here. it Is pretty odd how she gets a title like this and not destonio, who is literally the god of destruction here....hmmmmmmmmm

17. "it's not your fault. don't blame it on yourself. please." (tempo):

connected to trojan's tag, which is why i can't say the reasoning here~

18. "authentication: successful" (shifta):

references a part in temporal shifting.

19. "i heard the world is collapsing" (callima karma):

kind of a reference to a lyric in the og song, but bc i forgot what it was for some reason, i might be super wrong for some reason. obviously i remember the part where "arcaea" was mentioned, and since this is Not arcaea, i had to change that lel.

20. "the one who got away" (spinel):

you thought that tag is a reference to that one song? you fucking thought wrong. this has smth to do with her backstory, actually. referencing how she ran away and just went 'missing'.

21. "is it so wrong for a girl to like bugs?" (pamolia):

references a part in pupa's official mv. sort of. forgot how it originally went so i Might get this part wrong. UM. ANYWAYS.

22. "butterflies tear people apart" (pupa):

when i was going thru the comment section for pupa's official mv, i noticed a few ppl commenting that exact quote, so naturally, i had to reference it somehow :3333

23. "he was the one who bared witness to her wrath" (tempestissimo):

i think my art related to tessi, lacey, and tempestissimo already implied this enough, but this tag references how tessi fucking murdered tempest. yea. and while we're on that topic, that also references how hikari killed tairitsu in final verdict. and the way tessi gave up her goddess powers and became lacey just to bring tempest back to life is ALSO A REFERENCE TO SILENT ANSWER'S STORY SPECIFICALLY ONE LAST DREAM'S STORY. AND. AND—

24. "last (moment or eternity?)" (lacey):

references last, last | moment, and last | eternity.

25. "you are your very own light!" (hikaru):

that one phigros tip 🥹

26. "welcome to the progression express~☆" (arta):

references my very first artwork of him, actually! and also references how he's a train conductor

27. "the fireworks that bring tragedy" (lumine):

has smth to do with destonio and lumine lore. not gonna elaborate further tho. for now at least.

28. "the math expert himself" (aleph-0):

references how he's a math teacher. also, aleph-0 is a math thing, am i wrong?

29. "class memories (trauma and paranoia)" (clarith):

references her backstory (and also class memories itself ig)

30. "class memories (realist and serious)" (chase):

references his backstory (and also class memories itself ig)

OH MY GOD WE ARE AT THE END OF THE POST THANK YOU IF YOU READ IT UNTIL THIS MUCH OH MY FUCKING GOD.

[sportsminorityreport]

What are the SEC and the Big Ten’s “long games”?

I think we all need to take a step back and see what is really going on.

Media driven realignment is all about extracting as much media money as possible and sharing it with as few schools as possible.

We have been in a realignment phase for quite a while and when that’s done we may even reach a contraction stage where conferences evict less valuable members.  I think, for example, that UT would love to evict schools like Ole Miss and Mississippi State and pocket an extra $10M a year from a likely identical sized money pool with 2 fewer mouths. 

But I think it is just as likely that in the future schools sell their media directly to their fans when cable goes away.  In that reality, it is far more likely that power schools like UT walk away from playing schools like Alabama and build conference that are more sensible for their brand.  Maybe a Southwest conference 2.0.

But honestly we are probably 15+ years away from that.

Today it is all about owning the largest share of whatever money you can milk from Cable content providers.  And one other thing.  Control.

The ability to steer all of athletics down pathways that favor your school.

This is the whole reason UT stayed in the Big 12 as long as they did.  To have control over lesser schools. (in terms of fan support.) 

But Texas A&M might have passed UT.   They had passed them as the largest athletic budget in the country.  So UT encouraged OU to move with them to the SEC --- a conference UT is capable of dominating.   Now they are ---with apologies to Georgia and Alabama -- the biggest fish in one of the two most powerful conferences.

Money and control of the direction of college athletics.

With UT in the SEC, the 16 team SEC became not only the conference with a deathgrip on all the good recruiting grounds that used that to dominate college football on the field, they also for a time projected out as the most lucrative conference.

The Big Ten responded by raiding their partner conference the PAC 12 for their most valuable assets, USC and UCLA, and used their inclusion to not only get more media money per member school, but to also get a clause allowing them to add 6 more schools at the same rate.  Their 16 team conference is poised to become a 22-24+ team conference in the next 5 years.

“Anything you can do I can do better.”

This is a “check” move on the SEC.  It isn’t checkmate.  The Big Ten could pursue Oregon and Washington and screw up their game, but if they don’t, it could easily be checkmate.

Each Conference’s next step

To me, it is crystal clear that the Big Ten wants to add at least 6 and likely 8 schools from the 15 member Atlantic Coast Conference.

Which schools? in order of preference...

I think that is what their money is intended for.  Given that The Big Ten revenue is Big Ten Network based, Adding these schools likely WILL increase Big Ten payouts.

And it will end the SEC chokehold on recruiting.

Such a move moves almost the entire ACC footprint into the Big Ten network footprint.  It takes the entire ACC and elevates it into being part of THE power conference.  It pushes more top talent in that footprint to those 6-8 schools AND it allow the two slumbering giants of the Big Ten (Michigan and Penn State) to pull the supplemental recruits to become annual top 7-10 recruiting classes and realistic title contenders.

I think Miami and Notre Dame are on board because it could help them quite a bit in recruiting too.  While FSU is not 100% on board, I think they see how it could help them too.

Who would it hurt?  ESPN and the SEC.

There is NO way for either to counteract this move,once it is made.

And more, I am not convinced that it isn’t the final step for the Big Ten.  I could easily see them adding Cal, Stanford, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah to get to 32.   Again, adding those markets with the Big Ten Brands would pay for itself.

I could see them dividing into 4 divisions, each providing a legit national title caliber champion to face off against Alabama or Georgia.

More to the point their conference would be a peer to the SEC in all ways with twice the membership.   The Pac/Big Ten Alliance would dictate to the SEC all decisions in college football.

That is checkmate. 

The SEC alternative.

...is based on a lot of longshots in my opinion.  The SEC is in the position they are in because they are the favored sons of ESPN.  Well.... ESPN has shit on a lot of other conferences. 

The SEC has to hope that ESPN will propose moving Florida State, UNC, Clemson, and Virginia into the SEC at the current SEC payouts and then offer the rest of the ACC the current ACC amount and hope they go for continuing on in essential indentured servitude at a below market rate.  Miami, UNC, Virginia, Georgia Tech, Pitt, and Duke are not going to go for that.

That puts ESPN in a position where they need to HOPE that the Big Ten will crack the ACC open somehow --- 8 members voting the conference out of business? And that FSU will have a change of heart and decide at the last second to join the SEC with Clemson.  

That could happen, but might not, and doesn’t really solve the SEC’s problem.

The SEC would be at 18.  The Big Ten would be at 23 with the ability to add USF and have pretty much the same position.

The Big Ten would still have more money per school and the ability to expand to 32 at that peer per school rate.

Maybe ESPN could spring to add schools like NC State and Va Tech and meet SEC payouts, but realistically, I think that 18 is ESPN’s ceiling.  

That doesn’t change the narrative.

UT will never agree to take a pay cut to add NC State or West Virginia.  UT will pull their allies and bail for the Big Ten first.

Likewise Alabama and Georgia will never take paycuts when UT does not.

This means the only way the SEC can expand is ESPN footing the bill.

Are all your alters 22? I think I remember you saying Nero's a teenage part, so maybe thats why!

nah, if anything neros more like 15-16 spewcifically because of who hes a fictive of and when he formed, we were around that age. its only bc we made that acc when we were 19 and also before i knew i had did. it was just a blog for my clown stuff and pcitures of that character specifically, but it kept being abandoned bc that part of me is the only one that held onto the interest in that game so it rarely got posted on, even if we were interested in posting clown stuff bc we didnt want to be associated. its just out of laziness that i havwent fixed it

[randomperson339]

Aw thanks <3. My answers to the top 3 are that I have 5 published works so far, 109,669 words as of today, and I write for a variety of fandoms, although the ADHD goblin is liking @wolven91's Conservaverse universe right now. Beyond that I tend to add in a lot of my own stuff to any fandom I write for (My biggest fic is about 60% my own stuff, much more if you get into my other works)

Status: Snakebitten: XCOM's grump old lady and the alien's young viper prince catch feeling for one another. Proceeds through a comedy of cultural misunderstanding

SLUTS: Breeding Drake: A very informative document about all the dangers of the Lugio Placenata, aka the breeding drake, and why you never, ever, under any circumstances fuck any of them because all the following absolutely disgusting things would happen to you.

A Guarded Heart: What if we could make love to the Tyrant guard?

The Attack Against the Hive: a teenager does super powerful tricks against the super powerful xemomorphs!

5: I absolutely respond to comments- when appropriate

6: attack against the hive has the angstiest ending I suppose. Though not many of my fics have endings yet

7: A Guarded Heart kinda wins the happiest ending by default I suppose. One of them is a story in the 40K universe, so the ending afterwards is probably horrible, but the rest of my fics either aren't completed, don't really have an "ending" because they're more of a point in time than a flow through it, or are the answer to the other question.

8: no hate, but someone did say that A Guarded Heart wasn't what they liked

9: Yes. 40% of my fics are smut RN, and that's only going to go up from there!

10: I don't write crossovers, yet. I might write a TOH and Amphibia kinda crossover with some characters from Insects Gods and Mortals, then put them into Steven Universe and/or Gravity Falls, but those are just plans and I haven't written anythign beyond those vague outlines. TBH I just make my stuff cross over with whatever media I'm currently consuming TBH

WTF There'ss no question 11

12: no fic translation

13: not really co-written, though a friend did edit some earlier chapters of Snakebitten/Insects Gods and Mortals. After that I just kinda started to bounce ideas off of her.

14: My fav ship of all time is Thomas and Xernalia. Yes they are both my OCs, yes the girl is very hot and the guy is completely beyond average, but they both have so much going on that kinda doesn't fit into the linear format of English. IDK, maybe someone will be able to understand it if they read everything I write about them in the next decade lol.

15: a lot of smut, some OC stuff, and/or my old WOF WIP that were connected to an acc that has been deleted.

16: I think I'm very good at thinking things though, and examining what both needs to happen for the immediate effect I want and what needs to happen/not happen for the later scenes.

17: My weakness is how much I can actually write in a day TBH. It's hard to concentrate on a scene that is going somewhere but I'm not at the interesting part yet (and I mean like, I'm going to get to that interesting part in a few sentences but I cannot make myself write them yet). This is somehow nullified when I am made to write out long posts that won't ever really go anywhere, but my braing likes to write them.

18: my thoughts on writing dialogue in another langue for a fic is that, ultimately, language is a tool. The correct application of that tool depends on the effect you're going for. I haven't found a reason to use another language that exists, but there are various reasons to use it.

19/20: the first fic you could really call a fic and not me just plagiarizing concepts from The Lightning Thief would be a really edgy fic where Peacemaker from Wings of Fire gets tortured by memories of his alter-ego. I do not remember the title, but I do remember that I did post a few more chapters which petered into nothing.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 49. I have a few options for #50…

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 299,440. Ok, I hadn’t realized I was that close. Now, my answer to #1 might be “a new 560-word drabble.”

3. What fandoms do you write for? I’m nearly exclusively writing for Avatar: Legend of Korra, with a little bit of Last Airbender, where it fits in.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. Rainstorm - Su is there for Lin, for once. 2. The Well of Need - My first long-form story, with Lin taking care of Kya. 3. This is My Anchor - A mid-sized Kyalin story where Lin doesn’t make Kya take care of her. 4. I’m Sorry I Need You - An angsty one-shot that fits with a couple others in the “marriage is hard” domain. 5. Walk With Me - A longer-than-intended one-shot variant on a Tumblr joke.

5. Do you respond to comments? I do, as soon as I can. Sometimes, that means getting off work. Sometimes, that means giving a response as meaningful as the comment was to me. 

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? For complete stand-alone stories, that is likely Something Changed, where the last words are usually joyous. I can’t find the link for the worst-worst ending I have, so just pretend that never happened.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? The happiest ending? I like my happy endings, so this is tough. But I think I’ll go for Elemental Changes, because that launched my collaboration with @slowdissolve on Red Jade.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not hate, exactly. One reader informed me that I had ‘let them down’ on a follow-up story because I didn’t write the story that was in their head. 

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I’ve done a little, but it hasn’t been a focus for me. And, aside from the polyamory aspect, it’s all as vanilla as it comes.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Not unless you count LOK + ATLA a crossover, which I don’t.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to date.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? @slowdissolve and I wrote Moonsigns together, and we published two versions. One is told in first-person language and color coded, on Tumblr. We then followed it up with a more traditional third-person version that does not rely on color, on AO3.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? Kyalin is where everything opened up for me. 

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I’m taking quite the long view of all of this. I haven’t added to Their Sacred Year in a while, but have the outline for the next installment, so I don’t consider it abandoned.

16. What are your writing strengths? Folks seem to like my dialogue and plotting.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I struggle with the final rising action / climax / falling action, to keep the pacing appropriate to the story.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I don’t plan on it, given I am uneducated in the languages appropriate to this setting. 

19. First fandom you wrote for? Legend of Korra.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Saving the hardest for last. Naming the favorite child. Ok, fine. In that case, I’ll have to choose <wrestles with self> Elemental Changes (see #7), mostly because it’s a completely off-the-wall idea that I was able to see through and complete. And to have Slowdissolve illustrate the ending was an absolute capstone.

So I get to thank both @krastbannert and @wishingforatypewriter for their invitations!

Now, it's time to throw the floor open to folks like @yell0wsalt, @dont-blame-it-on-the-kids, @linguini17, @frogblast-the-ventcore, @badlucksav, @cdlunee, and of course,

you.
