#i wanna be the one blog that everyone likes talking to

[interact-if]

Happy New Year everyone!

I’m delighted to announce that Interact-IF is officially back in business! I (Allie @allieebobo) will be taking the reins as the new mod, and I’m very excited to get this blog up and running again!

First, a heartfelt thank-you to the original mod team for everything they’ve built. Interact-if has become such an invaluable resource and hub for interactive fiction fans and authors alike. It’s a tough act to follow, but I’ll do my best to keep the spirit of this wonderful space alive :)

A little bit more about me: I’m the author of two WIP interactive fiction games, @collegetennisoriginstory and @merrycrisis-if. Interact-if was one of the first blogs/places that I discovered almost three years ago now, and it led me to so many amazing stories, authors, and resources.

When I saw that the blog was going into archive mode, with a call for a new generation of mods, I wanted to do my best to help out. I reached out to the original mod team and worked out a gameplan for the future of Interact-if, which I’d like to share with all of you today.

P.S. If you would like to join me, I’d love to have you on the team! Scroll down to the section on ‘open call for mods’.

Without further ado, here’s the plan!

My goal is to focus on retaining the aspects that made Interact-IF so special: spotlighting diverse authors, and creating a warm, inclusive space to talk about and share wonderful games.

🟢 Active:

Game Updates & Intros: If you’re an author with a new game or demo update, or if you’re organizing a game jam or event you’d like to share with the community, simply tag @interact-if in your posts, and I’ll reblog them. It would also be helpful if you added tags stating the IF's genre (e.g. horror, romance), has a demo/no demo.

Themed Author Features: I’ll continue the tradition of spotlighting authors and games based on monthly themes (e.g. Pride Month, Disability Month). These interviews are such a great way of celebrating diversity and inclusivity in the IF community, and I’d love to keep these going! Stay tuned for a detailed post on this soon!

Community Spotlight: Once every quarter, I’ll also do a call for reader recs around certain categories/themes (e.g. Fave RO, Fave Worldbuilding/setting, Fave plot-twist etc.) and compile these recommendations to share. Think of it as a bulletin of crowdsourced faves and a way of sharing a little note about an IF you love!

🟡 Remain open/active, but not modded:

Game directory: The Interact-IF repository of games (excel) will remain open for authors to update/list their games and/or readers to discover their next read. (Feel free to continue to update/populate the repository, though do note it will remain completely crowd-sourced/author-updated).

Discord: The discord will remain open and active for discussions, resource sharing, and casual chats, though again, this will not be officially modded (though I, and some of the original mods like roast, may be active from time to time)

🔴 Not active:

Asks: I will not be answering asks except for specific submissions (e.g. for author features, reader recommendations etc.). If you would like to ask for specific game recommendations, or have questions/just wanna chat, the discord channel is a great place to do just that! :)

Keeping track of events/game updates: As mentioned, I’ll rely on authors / readers to tag me in updates posts and/or flag any games with questionable content/anything that might need my attention, as I won't be able to search out update posts or do any extensive vetting.

Open call for mods:

Finally, I’d love to have some company! If you’re interested in helping out—whether with reblogs, interviews, or brainstorming new features—please reach out. Having a small team would make this space even more vibrant!

Thank you for your support, your enthusiasm, and for being part of what makes Interact-IF such a special corner of the internet! :)

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how Interact-If can be improved, feel free also to drop the blog a direct message or an ask. I look forward to getting to know all of you better. Here's to an awesome year of interactive fiction (and many more!)

the art of taking photos⋆.ೃ࿔*:･👛

something that i wanna start doing in 2025 is taking more photos so i thought it'd be a perfect topic to talk about on my blog. the art of taking selfies…💬🎀

LIGHTING IS EVERYTHING ;

natural lighting is the absolute best! stand near a window where the light hits ur face justtt right. always position yourself so the source of lighting is in front of you, NOT behind you.

LEARN UR ANGLES ;

play around until u find angles that make you feel the most confident! if u dont know where to start, try tilting your head to the side slightly, holding the phone at a higher angle, or angling ur chin down.

FIND A POSE ;

dont just stand there!! play with ur hair a little bit, use ur hand to frame ur face a bit, do a little pout SOMETHING. find out what u love to do in photos.

go onto pinterest and look at diff selfies, that way u can have a bunch of poses on like rotation in ur brain. find one that u like, like a go-to pose. for me, my go to is putting like a hand in my hair and doing a little pout i find its super flattering on me

THE MORE THE MERRIER ;

when ur taking a selfie take a BUNCH, like a LOT and from all those photos go thru them and see which one u love the best and delete the rest. or something that i like to do is take a video of myself instead, and then screenshot photos from the videos.

i find that it makes the photo look so much crisper yet soft at the same time, all in all prettier ✨ also if u have a mac take photos on it cuz the mac camera makes everyone look good.

CONFIDENCE IS KEY ;

the best selfies come when ur feeling yourself so hype urself all the way up!! tell urself how pretty you are and watch how much easier it'll be to let loose and take good photos.

[the-al-pals]

2024 is almost over.

And I have some (a lot of) people I want to thank.

@misbchave - Phoenix. My partner in crime. Love of my life. We've only been together since August, but you've quickly become such an important person in my life. I love you so much, and I'm so grateful to have you as a writing partner, friend and datemate. I know you're not on Tumblr very much, but I wanted to shout you out anyway.

@rradiio - Arcane. Bestie. I honestly feel like I can talk to you about pretty much anything and I won't be annoying you. We get along so well and I am so grateful to have you as a writing partner and friend.

@radioaf - Chaos. Bestie. Again, I genuinely feel like I can talk to you about anything and not be bothering you. I wanna watch more movies and gameplay with you, and I love the story we've made between our Als so far.

@fel-rush - Bastian. Bestie. We haven't talked and interacted as much as I want to, but what we have done, I've enjoyed so much, and I am looking forward to connecting with you more in the upcoming year.

I admit, if I kept going with descriptions for everyone, I'd be repeating myself a lot, so instead I'm just gonna ping some other people that I appreciate and wanna go into the next year interacting with on both my blogs:

@voodoodaaddy @siempreminta @venisontransmission @radi0activesmile @a-hazbin-spider @hartstune @hells-greatestdad @angelichooves @infernal-feminae @arachn0philia @alteregozowie @hclluvahctel @hazbin-ocs-rp @justiceiswrath @lcftcult @onlyheartaches @poisonedspider @pcrplevenom @prin-rose @spidrboots @the-smallest-star @the-muse-coven @the-dark-adam @voxtek-time @wrxthfulguard

I admire and adore each and every one of you, even though I havea "resting bitch personality" and don't often say so. I hope y'all and everyone else I didn't mention have a wonderful 2025, and another wonderful year of enjoying the hellaverse.

— Sunny

Guys. I cannot believe it. 2025 is almost here. When it hits 12:44 AM. I cannot believe it. I’m actually so excited. Because I cannot wait to spend the rest of this new year with you all beautiful and wonderful people. I’m glad I have experience Tumblr and I’m happy that you all have supported me through this year. I’m thankful for my mutuals, who I have made throughout this year. It’s been a long year.

We’ve made to where we are now. 2024 is coming to an end today. And I am oh so excited for this new chapter in our lives: it has been wonderful spending time with you all wonderful and beautiful people.

I wanna shoutout some friends of mine:

@secretlifeofsparrow

Thank you for absolutely being such a good friend over these past months, ever since we met I have been happy to meet your beautiful face every single day. I’m glad there’s someone out there that can handle my excessive energy just as well as I do. I’m glad we met irl and at school. I’m so happy we’re mutuals online and irl. And I cannot wait for this new chapter in our lives. Love, Noko.

@pastaline

Boy am I glad we met through discord and in CPL. And I’m glad we both are in the same fandom like Justice League and Dark Apokolips. We both share the same things: and I’m so grateful to have met you through the end of this year, things may have been tough but we’ll get through it no matter what. Sincerely, Noko.

@concook20

oh my goodness you are literally someone who asks questions on my “Ask Clara Nightingale” blog and I am happy you were here to support my Wild Kratts phase. :) even if we don’t talk much, I am going to cherish these moments forever and ever. Sincerely, Noko.

@the-art-ghost

Oh my god. Even if we don’t talk much I am your biggest fan on tumblr and I absolutely adore the art you draw! It kinda inspired my cartoonish artstyle and I’m happy we became mutuals through tumblr. I may not talk much but I will cherish this moment forever. Sincerely, Noko.

@myroanokenightmare666

Words cannot express how much I am thankful we became mutuals. Thank you for responding back to me even though we don’t talk much, and I saw those posts you mentioned me in! I’m quite flattered, really! I’m sorry I didn’t talk to you much, but I still am really gentle about you. So please, take this as a token of appreciation. Sincerely, Noko.

@raven0usravi0lii

My goodness gracious. Oh my god. OH MY FUCKING HOLY STARS I AM SO GLAD WE BECAME FRIENDS I LITERALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH (MUTUALLY) AND YOUR ART IS AMAZING. I’m glad we became friends and I cannot wait to turn this page and start a new chapter in our lives. I’m glad we’ve friended each other. I may not roleplay that much anymore, but I still wanna roleplay with you all as much as possible. I’m glad I met you. If I hadn’t I wouldn’t have been who I am now. Sincerely and lovingly, Noko.

@angel-atelier

YOU LITERALLY HAVE SUCH AMAZING AND TALENTED ART! Unique form, keep it up. I’m sorry I don’t talk to you that much anymore. I do admit, I am a shitty friend. But honestly, thanks for sticking around so much. Sincerely, Noko.

@margosartdumpsite

I know, I know, we probably don’t talk much since we’re so busy and catching up with our lives. But I just wanna thank you for being such a good mutual over these past few months. You were probably one of the first few friends I have made on here whenever I started my Tumblr account. I’m really thankful honestly and I cannot wait for this new chapter. Love Eddsworld! Sincerely, Noko.

And last but not least, the one friend I literally made when I first started and responds WAY TOO FAST TO MY POSTS.

@soupvy

You’re literally always the first one to comment and like on all my posts. And I cannot express how much I thank you for being such a wonderful mutual. You literally were the first person to friend me, really. And I am thankful you were my first mutual on Tumblr. You deserve so much more. Love, Noko.

“And with that, the 2024 season comes to an end. Good night everyone.”

2025 Project Updates!

Heyyy people! It's been a busy few months and a while since I've given any public update on what I've been working on, so here's that now woohoo.

ODDBALL ADVENTURES

FINAL EPISODE: EVICTED

We're still working on storyboards, but I have a little jump on animation. We posted a preview of it on the channel back in November. We also wanna get started on a special side project for it too, and that'll be a surprise teehee. Here's a few more board previews oooh.

SUBWAY HOTDOGS

Also shared a preview for this back in November. We've had this audio laying around for a while and we finally got to it boarded by the amazing Anselmo and staticbrain_tv. This will be a slightly longer short and have limited animation like the Christmas Spirits video last year.

You can find it's own Tumblr blog here with comics and more updates galore yay.

WORK IN PROGRESS

PILOT

So what's going on with WIPToon? Last year I got the first quarter of it all animated! 2 and a half minutes of animation are done. Before I got back to boards, I wanted to do re-write of the second half. I think it flows much better now thanks to the help of @commanderrcat.

Everything is thumbnailed and I'm working back on storyboards in-between my other freelance work. Here's some previews!

SNOW DAY SHORT

A few months ago I had a cute little idea for a WIPToon Snow Day short. A few weeks ago, @commanderrcat, @fishiecomics and I finally got around to writing it. Without those two it'd probably stay just in my head haha. It still needs a board artist but hoping I can work on that on and off in-between the pilot.

Here's it's own dedicated Tumblr blog too!

MORE STUFF

I've been working on a music video on and off for about a year or so- actively since about November (A lot of that time was just finding a visual style I liked for it). I'm like 60% animated with it and hoping to finish it soon :D

I've been busy on a lot of projects last year. I was a cleanup artist for The Boys: Paranormal Paranoia, I've been doing a lot of animation for TheAmaazing, and I was even the lead animator for Eddsworld's latest episode, Pinheads. Aside from one post I didn't talk about it much because I took my break right after, but it was great to lead the team as a proper animation director and have an even more direct hand in designs and visual style. Maybe I'll post a few concept arts and layout drawings in a future post, who knows.

Been a busy few months working on stuff behind the curtain. I'm excited to share all these new things coming. Have a happy new year everyone!! xoxo -PB

A Dragon Age Newbie's First Impressions of Inquisition Companions [Part 1/?]

SO. I've acquired ye olde Dragon Age brainrot after completing Veilguard and starting Inquisition. I have a lot of Thoughts and Ideas TM about both games, so while I decide whether I should make a separate blog for DA, enjoy this messy post on my first impressions of all the Inquisition companions. I also wanna be able to look back at this and see whether my judgments were right or wrong lmao. Yes this is what I'm doing instead of writing fics.

Spoilers for... I don't know where I'm at in Inquisition man. I just got to Skyhold and did a few missions. And MAJOR DAV spoilers, probably. Under the cut.

Cassandra

CASSANDRA PENTAGHAST THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE.

she honestly grew on me a lot. I knew I wanted to like her from like, the opening scene. she just exudes intensity, and you can immediately tell that she cares. she, however did not like my Lavellan one bit, and disapproved of every single choice I made for a while 😭

early game Cassandra whenever Lavellan breathed:

but she honestly feels like the realest, and maybe most good-hearted character in all of DAI. conflicted, caring, under far too much pressure, and with a cold exterior that isn't just there for the sake of being unapproachable. she second-guesses all of her choices, which I believe is HEALTHY for someone who has that much power.

as I progress through the game and get to know her more, I just end up liking her even more. she also knows how to disagree with you, on small and large things, while keeping an open mind and trying to understand your reasoning - that also encourages me to hear her out. I truly enjoy that about her! her VA is also STELLAR, I just love to hear her talk!!

overall, 10/10 no notes.

Solas

oh you motherfucker.

so DAV Varric (or whoever it was who said this) lied when he said this rat egg man doesn't lie to your face and only lies by omission.

"I know about the fade because of my studies in ancient ruins" "I know about spirits because I befriended them in my dreams"

what if I punched you in the throat? ok but in all honesty. I'm trying to do the Solavellan ting and, well, he's got game. I'll give him that. I was positively shook at the first fade dream thing. they teach you how to rizz up dalish women in those ancient elven ruins? 🤨

speaking of dalish. why is he so mad that Lavellan is dalish LMAO. my ass chose the "proudly dalish" option and he DISAPPROVED. it's not Lavellan's fault that that one dalish clan threw rocks at you when you told them you were fen'harel! damn...

overall? I need to see how badly he betrays her to make a better judgment. will it be worse than the DAV betrayal? probably. will I eat it up? absolutely.

Varric

VARRIC MY GOAT!! THE REALEST MF IN ALL OF THEDAS!!!

I love Varric so much. it obviously helped to play DAV before, so I kinda knew him... for like, 20 minutes, I guess...

anyway, I'm really looking forward to getting to know him some more. as always, he's the only mf who cares how your character is feeling, who bothers to check in on you because everyone just tells you to roll with all the Crazy Shit TM that's happening. everyone keeps asking WHO is the herald of andraste, WHERE is the herald of andraste. no one ever asks HOW is the herald of andraste. except Varric.

he's caring, hilarious, compassionate, but also extremely REAL. cause yeah, Varric, you SHOULD'VE run the other way the moment Cassandra set you free. this breach shit is crazy! but you're literally too good of a man to do that 😭

I also cannot stop laughing at his reaction to Cory being alive. "shit, we stabbed him a bunch, I can't believe he's alive"

Varric continue to be your best real self, I am your biggest cheerleader as you are mine ❤️

Blackwall

ok so Blackwall is great. just a chill dude. super chill actually! however. he's kind of not very helpful at all, is he? "why did the wardens disappear?" "idk. can i join your inquisition?"

you're in luck, we actually take anyone because we're desperate!

but what can he actually do. him being a warden doesn't seem to help very much, because he literally never displays any warden expertise. when Stroud (?) mentions how all the wardens hear the calling now because of mr. Cory, he goes "oh shit yeah me too". and you just forgot to mention it? world's chillest warden, I guess.

I like him! but I just don't know why he's there especially when Iron Bull absolutely clears him when it comes to warrior combat.

anyway thank you Blackwall, very cool!

---

This post has been long enough, so I will make a Part 2 at some point thanks bye!!

[paikothecateater]

Okay, I don't normally reblog shit on my blog, but this is kinda important.

I wanna preface by saying that I, in no way, consider myself a spokesperson for the hetalia community. I haven't even been in the fandom very long. I just happen to post a lot of silly headcanons and try to engage with the community.

While this post my come across as needlessly aggressive to some, it's actually so important to pay attention to stuff like this.

Now, my posts very rarely mention nations like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, etcetera and whenever they do, I never add them to my tags.

This is because these nations are very often times misrepresented in hetalia and are portrayed in a borderline degrading way, take Ukraine for an example. These stereotypes are extremely harmful, not only to the people from these nations, but also people who aren't who take these stereotypes as fact.

I, at some point, experienced this. I didn't know much about Estonia at the time and I just used the hetalia version of the character to base my headcanons off of. I offended a ton of actual Estonians because of my own ignorance.

Hetalia isn't inherently bad. And having characters that represent these nations is also not inherently bad. It's important to follow some very specific rules when doing this. Unfortunately, these rules aren't common knowledge, but I want to do my best to make them known just so we can avoid tension and unfortunate interactions.

1) let's get this out of the way. You could leave the country's name out of the tags, but if your headcanon is blatantly distasteful and degrading to the nation and its people, you still messed up. I'm not talking about harmless little quirks like 'oh! So and so is a bit of a nerd' or 'so and so can be a little silly sometimes' I'm talking about downright disgusting stereotypes like 'oh! So and so is really poor and uneducated'

2) the Tumblr tagging system is flawed. Plain and simple. Even if you add APH or HWS or even 'Hetalia' before the country's name, it could still end up interfering with the actual country's tags which is not what you want. Even if your headcanon is respectful, you wouldn't want it to crowd the actual country's tags. People use those tags to get news from around their nation, connect with others from their country and bond over culture. It is not a place for hetalia.

3) if unfortunately a misunderstanding occurs, try to address these situations respectfully and decently. I'm going to be honest, as a community, we're already on thin ice with all the bullshit that has happened. Let's not make our reputation even worse. I'm not asking that you let people be jerks to you. Everyone is responsible for how they conduct themselves online and if you're in the right, but you're being a complete jackass about it, you will and should be called out on it. That goes for both sides by the way, but let's try to approach these situations with understanding. If you made a mistake, take accountability. It's really simple. No one is going to eat your face if you look them in the eye and say 'I messed up. I'm sorry. I'm going to do my best to rectify it' even if it's a small error like a tagging mistake. Mistakes happen. Oversights happen.

Again, I want to reiterate that I am not a spokesperson for this community. I just want to put out my own view on this situation. You're 100% free to disagree with me. It won't make me see you differently as a person. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is just my take based on my experience.

Thank you.

stop!!! fucking!!! tagging!!! hetalia!!! characters!!! with!!! the!! actual!!! country’s!!! name!!!

use!!! the!!! appropriate!!! hetalia!!! tags!!!

Ohiwe (lady) and Ohime (man) aka the fire deity after they get punished.

Originally just "Oh", the fire deity had a bit too much fun with punishing humans and so in a means to stop them, the elder gods split them into two. So now they have to be together in order to have their "full" power but as before the split, they get restless and like to wander. So while one stays in their city, the other gets to go out and travel and see the world and check on the other deities.

Also, as a whole/singular being Oh would use they/them. After the split however, it's definitely not the same and so Ohiwe likes using female pronouns and Ohime uses male pronouns. That way when discussed as one, it's back to they. That feels best for them.

[oceanwithouthermoon]

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,

if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."

i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,

i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

[capricioussun]

Been thinking abt this a bit lately, and I haven't wholly committed, but if for no other reason than curiosity's sake, if I did some sort of like, romance hc / self ship focused "ask event" on my ship blog, would that be smth anyone's interested in?

Also! In case anyone is interested! Cartoon Network is on YouTube streaming Holiday Special reruns of their cartoons for FREE for this month! Here’s the link! Happy Holidays and go watch cartoons!!

[cannibalismyuri]

coming out as a passive jopper hater bc the insane level of capitalist pandering they did with s3 (with ERICA who is like. one of the worst, stereotyped portrayals of a black girl ive ever seen, bless her heart) was truly crazy. combine that with the copaganda and the general attitude of hopper in s3 which was played off as 'awkward loser guy doesnt know what to do with Feelings more at 8' was a bit .... Eh :/ to me. because it is so obviously a fictional character and show but like. disliking hopper/jopper bc of the ideals st is perpetuating and the fact that they arent compatible at All in s3 (to me, atleast) is valid. some ppl might just think that jopper is unhealthy and/or 'overrated'. because they do sort of pay a disproportionate amount of attention to jopper, compared to the other canon romantic ships (afaik, bc of the screen time counter) and that can be Weird, esp with the... how should i say this? balancer/savior role hopper takes in the relationship (we constantly see him placating joyce, sometimes even being slightly patronizing, and also they place a lot of importance on him saving joyce from a lot of stuff, which is cool and sick if it wasnt for the fact that it directly correlates with him being a cop, yk). and the general power imbalance bc he's a Cop and abuses his position of power constantly, and that is exactly Why anything that joyce does is seen as a #insane girlboss category 5 woman moment because she simply has the short stick in the power race and when she does manage to make an impact DESPITE her economic/social/'general uselessness in say in Major decision-making when it comes to authorities' shortcomings it is seen as an amazing win. hopper on his own is extremely fleshed out as well, because we get to see his arc play out with his relationships with his daughter and ex-wife and el and re-learning how to be a parent and how to not let love allude him, and that is lovely! it's so great to see the adults in the show being focused on! but joyce is absolutely disregarded and underdeveloped as a character of her own right outside of her relationships with hopper or her kids. we see that she is determined and a force to be reckoned with and that she cares very deeply for the people she loves and would go to insane lengths for them but all that doesn't Mean anything, because we never see a backstory for her. we never figure out who she is without her family or hopper, or what her motives and aspirations and emotional shortcomings and stumbles and mistakes are. for a character to be fully fleshed out, they need to be an interesting, refreshing and palatable character On Their Own without their relationships with other characters, and we just don't see that with joyce. like u have Thee winona ryder on ur show, and u forsake developing her character in favor of developing hopper's character with /not the best taste/ and causing her to be a blank slate of a mother, lover, woman and friend, but not a PERSON. all she's been reduced to is a Mother and Hopper's Girlfriend, and honestly, that's the worst decision they could've made in relation to her and her relationship with hopper.

anyway, all this to say; these are my thoughts on the matter, but i'm definitely not hating on people who enjoy jopper passively and DEFINITELY not any by/ler (the most predominant fandom im part of in the parent fandom of st) who enjoys them as a ship with their own dynamic separate from canon. because the by/ler fandom is NOT a monolith and nobody is obligated to agree with me or change their opinion if it doesn't align with mine or be forced to look at my opinion and feel bad for shipping anything. im not going to act Holier Than Thou for expressing my opinion and u should definitely continue shipping jopper if it makes u happy! as long everybody recognizes the copaganda and capitalist mindset grind propaganda shit in st (which is Pretty Obvious) and respects that while shipping what they want, i have no problem with it. all that is to say; peace and fucking love. can we (the by/ler fandom) stop fighting abt jopper we all have our own opinions this is bc we are Not a hivemind or a monolith and not obligated to have the same opinions relating to all aspects of st just because we happen to ship one thing. i am a hater and a lover

(( OOC: plays a game with shilo called "you dont get to see posts that would make you mad and fight with other characters" (she wouldnt appreciate that she would HATE me for this) ))

[phagodyke]

I slept rly deeply last night even tho it took me a while to get to sleep but I think that was bc I had acid reflux and I'd been playing videogames too late not anything else.... still only got 6 hrs but doing pretty okay all things considered 😚
