#i’ll try and link the meme later

[rewordthis]

for the ask game: 1, 4, 7 and 22

Hey hey, my Forest Lady! 💚✨ Sorry for the wait, my phone is not playing nice with me these days ~ So you asked from The Writer’s Year in Review meme:

1) How many fics have you worked on since January?

Worked huh? So this is a round up of both published and unpublished… hmmm… That’s a tough one since my app deleted a shittone without me knowing, but uh… I’d say about… 21? 3:ε Give or take. I start loads of shit but I’m not the fandom’s most prolific soldier… (￣3￣)

4) How many fandoms did you write for this year?

Hmmm… 2. (I’m not counting those 2 AoKaga memes _(:3 」∠)_ ‘cause yeah…) I posted for Free! and Trigun. Oh, wait! These are just the published ones. In general I wrote for… *counts fingers*… 6.

7) Did you write for any new fandoms or ships this year?

Yep! I wrote for Trigun. Everyone’s bitter pill, KV. It was a mere dribble but still… ʅ（°3°）ʃ (Again, considering just my published works. It’s easier.) By the way, there is a Millions Knives ‘poem’-like post under my writing tag, too! hehe

22) What writing programs did you use? Did you write by hand?

Bite me if I say I used anything tangentially appropriate. Since I have only my phone, I used Pages from apple, but everything is sooooo sooo shitty if your battery health is under 80%. Oh! And the cloud only deletes the Pages’ App files after a bit they are stored, completely unprompted, so if you have like… an iphone to write and use cloud be vigilant! I only write by hand my personal project. It’s a series of short poems. (๑╹ω╹๑ )

Thank yous so macchiiiii for the ask!!! *Glomps you* (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

→Some of the wips of mine:

(There will be separate intro/masterposts for each of these when i get to them

The Bone-Binder’s Covenant 

(click link to see masterpost)

Basic Premise: The Bone-Binder has broken his promise with the land of Pytharios, and is now terrorizing the region to get what he wants. Chosen directly by the Queen, Aerlyra Ghorne–a promising yet incredibly unsure woman–is tasked to stop him for once and for all. With the help of her assigned crew and companions who join alongside her during the journey, she hopes to do just that. 

Tags: #The Bone-Binder’s Covenant or #TBBC

Genre: Dark Fantasy; Adventure

Status: Active (Somewhat done and planned, still getting a feel for everything, still brainstorming some ideas)

I will be adding more links as I post!!

We Die As One

(Adding masterpost soon)

Basic Premise: Tells the story from a series of ancient journals that are uncovered showing the events following up the total wipeout of all magic. The journal entries focus on a group of scrappy, young heroes who are on a mission against the world, and fail to stop the evils of the world from taking over. All that is left of them is the journals, leaving the ways of the past to be seen as a distant memory and an inspiration to the new generation, who see how the world came to what it has become.

Tags: #We Die As One or #WDAO

Genre: High Fantasy; Action-Adventure

Status: Active (ish, still in idea-phase)

I will be adding more links as I post!!

I still have more WIPS but those are secrets for later ;)

I’ll be posting mainly about my wips, ask games, the occasional art, and writing memes so stay if you are into that!! You can ask me questions any time, don’t be afraid to ask!

[batboyblog]

Love for our DC boys and politics with a lens on realistic impact? Yeah I’ll follow that.

well thank you,

as I've said before in real life I'm a pretty serious person, and during 2016, the campaign basically took over my life (working on it) and so I made this Tumblr as a place to put everything not serious in my life, at first my enjoyment of comics, which I've loved since I was a small child, and later branching out into other things as well.

but you know real life, I'm a very political guy and I felt like 2024 was not shaping up the way I would like and weirdly of all the social medias, this is the one I'm the best at? and also lent itself best to long posts with links to back them up? and also its a basically forgotten social media as far as campaigns and politics go? like if you're on twitter or YouTube or Facebook you're getting bombed with ads, and the campaigns have accounts pumping out content. But in an election that could come down to less than 100,000 votes, what about the thousands of people who use Tumblr as their main or even only social? well I figured I may as well try? what the heck, be the change you want to see.

people too often bitch about "why don't Democrats do X!" well, political parties need people to do their messaging, memes, ideas, vibes etc spread people to people and can't be dreamed up in a smoke filled back room and beamed into brains. So This is my little effort at counter programing, and I'm very glad the doom is over and the vibe has shifted, I hope I can keep the vibe going and push people to get involved. For too long people have sat it out, getting involved will make you feel better and you'll get to meet and talk to the people who make choices, tell them what matters to you.

Volunteer

trust me its easy folks, just sign up for a convention watch party, and go hang with likeminded people and listen to the ways we're gonna change America for the better, just do that for me folks, and who knows I might be the guy you're having a beer with.

[fiyaerrigan]

wait hang on all of these options sound cool as hell. can i be greedy and get a 🦸‍♂️ and a 🕑, please?

re: this post

(be greedy all you want with these, lol! i know i take forever to answer them but unless i'm really in a slump for the specific fic i WILL try to answer for all the fics included in an ask =D)

🦸‍♂️ for the Superpower AU feat. nonpilot!flying!tommy, mentor!bobby, and a buck who might literally have too much of an effect on the people around him.

Here's some of the aforementioned mentor!bobby, now with a shocking lack of dialogue tags bc i am a lazy fuck!

“You can't force yourself to feel the same as someone else,” “Maybe you can't, old man, but last time I checked, our powers work differently.” “They're similar enough. Why don't I backtrack on that last bit? Maybe then you’ll get it through your thick skull: under no circumstances should you force your empathic abilities. That's how you get people killed.” “C'mon, no one's gonna die because I had to stretch my feelings a little to save them. I'm saving them. It's not like I'm gonna decide it isn't worth it mid-link and leave them to the wolves.” “It wouldn't be up to you. Your version of ‘stretching your feelings’ means putting yourself in danger just to link up to victims we could've reached anyhow. Add the stress you put yourself under to the fact that you can barely get a solid hold on five vics at once—you're gonna wear yourself out sooner or later.” “So you were lying when you told Judge Grant you had faith in me.” “Oh, I wasn't lying, kid. That faith’s just tempered with a healthy dose of skepticism, because for some reason you insist on amping up your fear response to the point where your heart’s two seconds from beating out your chest.” “Don’t exaggerate, okay? I get the memo. I’ll dial it down—a little bit—from now on.”

bone apple teeth? onto the next fic!

🕑 for the Time Traveler!Tommy fic feat. fall out boy title inspo, pre-118 buck, post-breakup tommy, and probably smatterings of the former tommy/abby engagement

this is (unfortunately) just a very small bit of dialogue, but I wanted to post it anyway since I had to sideline @itsthecityoftheflower @the-obnoxious-sibling @sunsetandevningstar and @ladyeyrewrites who all asked for 🕑in a previous post

“Hey,” came a voice to his left, and Tommy’s gut filled with pure, unadulterated dread. “Lakers Guy! Didn't think I'd catch you somewhere without sports coverage." Oh, you had to be shitting him.This was a completely different bar from last time! It was practically on the other side of the continent, as far as L.A. was concerned. “I, uh, had to call it quits at my last job," Evan Buckley Point Zero-Nine explained. "Owner couldn't afford the rent, but that's the beauty of pop-ups, right? I've got guaranteed employment—at least until summer rolls around. Anyways!" He clapped his hands together and slid something over to him. "Here's a drink, o-on the house. Wouldn't wanna make you run out so soon.” Tommy grimaced. Well, I’m gonna be running out anyway. Sorry about that. Himbo Evan was oblivious to the dismissal. And, yes, Tommy had to call this version of Evan a himbo, for the distance it added between them if nothing else. It was only right in this freak reality where his worst nightmares seemed to come true. —Including the nightmares where Tommy had to be an asshole, whether he liked it or not. “Wasn't sure what your typical poison was,” Evan—Himbo Evan—went on, “but I did remember it came in a pretty bespoke-looking bottle—” Here, he shot Tommy a look he definitely didn’t know was flirtatious. “Let's hope my educated guess paid off.”

*meme voice* it's not much, but it's all i have? alas. hoping inspo for this fic comes easier now that i have SOMETHING written down lol

I thrive off feedback please if this makes you feel any way TELL me in the replies or w/e I'm BEGGING youuuuuu

LIKE this if you want to be added to a tag list for either fic! REBLOG to specify which tag list you'd like to be added!

[walkawaytall]

For the fic rec asks, how about Fake Relationship / Posing as a Couple? (Also what a fun ask meme idea, I love it!)

Okay, so I am driving myself crazy trying to find my actual favorite for this trope because I think I read it when I first started reading fanfic and I apparently didn’t bookmark it or something. But, in the meantime, A Princess and a Guy Like Him by Erma has a little bit of posing as a couple, though there’s a lot more going on. And One Bed at the Inn by NicolleOrgana does as well. Easing Up by birdieflies also has this as a theme — more so than the other two, I think. I enjoyed all of them.

(I also enjoyed One Half Won’t Do, but figured I wouldn’t suggest your own fic to you 😂. I keep trying to link to it and Tumblr is rejecting the URL, so I will add the link later I guess???)

——

Send me a mood/feeling/theme/trope/genre and I’ll recommend another writer’s fic to fit the vibe!

[doesntmeanitsmeaningless]

Hi Ailo. I don't know how online you had been this day but just in case here is the recap you didn't ask for 1d news' version:

-Oasis is having a reunion and will do a tour the next summer (funny meme about oasis and Louis, another meme of one direction and this one). I imagine Louis will be the most happy person in the planet right know.

This Oasis reunion has made the fandom had some thoughts: 1. If Oasis can do a reunion so does One Direction 2. Louis could be a tour opener for them 👀🕯🤞3. @thechavier share this theory about H&L and Oasis🤞🕯🙏👀 .

Oasis is also related to Openstage who is a company where Louis has invested so is a double win for him!!!

-Harry was seeing with André 3000, he lately had been seen with a few artists 👀, seems like it was from this other day that he was with Pauli and Yaffra.

-Now Narry news: Harry was at Niall's show in Manchester today!!!!Everyone was freaking out (myself inclueded), Harry was so happy dancing a lot, clapping, whistling, it was beautiful, not surprise duet thought 🤡 but we did clown for a few moments because he went from the vip box to the side of the stage at some point. He did leave before the last song end it lol, he didn't follow the 1d rules and harry's rules to not leave before the show ends.

I think my favorite part was him dancing during Stockholm Syndrome and filming that part. I don't know if you saw this but I did a post a long time ago about the color tribute of the 1d boys during that song at Niall's show so I think is so beautiful that Harry was able to see that too.

-We got the Louis Tomlinson: Live !!!! If you only want high in california and wdbhg here is the other link, thanks to @highwaytosomewhere , Meg saves us all!!!. Also the links for kill my mind and only the brave.

P.S.: -I don't know if you saw that at the Victorious Festival Louis try during barricade to drink from a beverage of a fan? Lol only Louis.

-Another extra note, a few days ago Niall sing Little things with Ed Sheeran and today Ed have this funny answer to a fan about the 1d reunion. I do hope he at least try to be a wizard and helps us with the 1d reunion, we need all the help we can get.

And that is it for the recap, I hope you are having a wonderful day/afternoon/night. Let me know what you think about all of this and if this was helpful or a waste of time because you were in fact online and this recap wasn't necessary hahaha.

Te mando un abrazo.

CC!!! A recap I didn’t ask for!!! AMAZING!!!

And I apologise for the delay!!! I used up my data, and we had to abandon our vacation due to illness. I just got home.

This is such a great update!! And I’ll respond more later, but want to put this beauty in the world asap! This needs to be shared with everyone one who was offline or wants a recap!! 🫶🫶🫶

[insertmeaningfulusername]

for the kiss writing meme: skyrissian and 33 please 🥺

Thank you for the prompt beloved Skyrissian friend 🩵 This got unexpectedly long so I'm posting a little snippet here plus the Ao3 link:

“Well, I’ll be damned. You’ve really never been to a public bathhouse, have you now?” came Lando’s voice at Luke’s side. Luke jabbed an elbow in the general direction of his partner’s rib cage but missed by miles—in his opinion an excusable mistake, seeing as he was currently too busy struggling for breath while trying to take in everything around them. “I told you,” he muttered as he let his gaze flit from the elaborate blue-gree-gold tile pattern of the floor over the highly vaulted ceiling to the basins let into the very ground they were standing on, almost overflowing with staggering amounts of water, “I grew up a farmer’s child on Tatooine. We never wasted water like this!” “Oh, but you see, here it’s not a waste.” Seemingly unaware of the dangers Luke’s elbows posed, Lando slung an arm over Luke’s shoulders and began to lead him away from the changing room doors, their two pairs of wooden slippers clacking on the tiles with every step they took. “On this world, water is a common good, and it even comes pre-warmed! And so, since we are commoners—even if our ranks may claim something different—let’s enjoy what is ours by right.” A noncommittal hum was really the most Luke could manage as he stumbled along with Lando’s self-assured strides. The air was wreathed with thick steam, almost as humid as Dagobah’s dank atmosphere, only warmer. Also, it smelled a lot better. Scents assaulted him from all sides—sweat, salt, floral and herbal perfumes mixed with fruity notes—and, even more overwhelmingly, sounds. He was used to noise, sure. He’d grown up amid the scouring, howling winds of the desert as they whipped the dunes of the sand wastes into a frenzy. The sputter of moisture vaporators had been his lullaby, the clatter of his old, trusted skyhopper’s engine his song. And later, his tuned landspeeder. And even later, the cockpit of his X-Wing, the din of the mess halls aboard the Alliance’s cruisers, the hum of lightsabers clashing, and the crackle of fire as it slowly consumed a suit of plastoid armor. Here, however, in the bath house’s vault, the noise was different. It echoed. Laughter and chatter reverberated around the numerous interconnected chambers, and distant song suddenly turned not so distant. And above all played the constant burble, gargle and patter of water flowing freely. “Wow,” Luke finally managed to breathe out, and at his side, Lando burst into laughter.

Read the rest on Ao3.

“seto and shizuka meet” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love the kinky sex but i’ll confess that i read lure for the plot and this! this is what i have been yearning for!

For Audience Participation: Fic-Writing Edition ask game

I'm flattered you read it for plot and think there's enough of such to sink your teeth into. 😂

I'm taking this as a chance to answer your ask as if it's for the ask meme. Hope that's okay, anon! For one, even though it's on the list, I'm unsure if I'm going to get to writing it. It doesn't even have a linked document yet. Like I keep talking about writing the short where Jou and Mokuba meet for the first time, and Mokuba poisons Jou (on purpose) and... *cricket noises*

Anyway, putting the idea behind Kaiba and Shizuka's meeting under a cut since it's technically a spoiler.

Shizuka and her mom don't live in Domino. As in many of my other fics, and mentioned in one of the other Lure fics, they live in Nagasaki, whereas I usually place Domino in the Chubu region. The reason this is set later in Lure is it'd have to be a time when Kaiba would presumably be willing to let Jounouchi tag along in his travels for "business."

So Kaiba has to go to Nagasaki for "work," and that gives Jou a chance to reconnect with his estranged sister. This is super awkward because they literally haven't spoken in years and Jou in this AU is less "heroic" than his canon self. Shizuka, of course, asks about how he's doing and maybe even brooches the subject of their father. At this point, Jou has not seen his dad and has been living with Kaiba for years. Maybe he tries to not reveal too much but I can't see him as doing it particularly suave and Shizuka worrying about him because she still remembers stuff from her childhood. Nor is Jou's caginess inspiring confidence.

To put her concerns to rest, he admits he hasn't lived with their father in a long time. Maybe even lets it slip that he's living at someone else's house, only to panic when he realizes what he's admitted and tries to write his relationship with Kaiba as an employer/live-in employee relationship. Kaiba employs Hanako as a housekeeper, so Jou sorta lumps himself in with her.

Shizuka insists on meeting Kaiba since he's also in the city. Jounouchi panics, but at this point, he and Kaiba are "fond" enough of each other that he goes "just do me this favor (you can have me repay it however when we get home) and for the love of god, please act normal."

So the three of them meet up before Kaiba and Jou are due to return to Domino, probably somewhere in public such as a cafe. Kaiba busts out his "totally normal university student from a well-to-do family" impression. He doesn't raise any immediate red flags to Shizuka, but Shizuka does pick up on their closeness.

Both Kaiba and Jou play how they met and came to live together pretty close to the chest.

That's when Shizuka comes to the conclusion that Kaiba is Jou's quiet/introverted boyfriend who helped get Jou out of a bad situation and they're maybe trying to keep their relationship a secret because of homophobia from society or Kaiba's family. Jounouchi doesn't realize this until they get home when Shizuka calls to ask after Jounouchi (I imagine the siblings start to communicate more regularly after this) and when she also asks how Kaiba's doing, she refers to him as Jou's "polite boyfriend."

Jounouchi wants to die afterward, but he finds it hard to correct Shizuka's misconceptions without worrying her. So now when Shizuka calls, he has to endure her referring to Kaiba as his boyfriend.

Oh, and he does everything in his power to not let Kaiba find out about this. He predictably fails, because this series is about tormenting my boy, even if it's mostly for comedy.

(Kaiba is actually super amused when he finds out because one, it implies that he came off "likable" enough to be deemed someone's boyfriend.)

That is also my secret, later Lure occasionally becomes a comedy of errors.

Darby’s crucible

Mixed format/no format exaggerated insane poetry

Bitches ain’t shit

I’m sure that’ll hit

You right on the head

hopefully drop you dead

I said

I said our lifestyle absolves you of misogyny

plain, brutal honesty

but modesty feels linked to poverty like

do I control how you think?

and I thunk really hard when the stars were out

and I was out of liquor, so I drank canned heat

and lord: I did not eat for I needed that forsaken heat

and it beat out my head over and over again

like it counted to ten then started again

tell me when it’s over again

I tell you: verily I’m barely coherent

more here than there

And you stare at my words over and over like man oh god is this guy ever sober and yes dude I am sometimes

it is October my favorite month and yes god it is October my favorite month the crunch in the leaves while the barren trees seethe like you could breathe in that sorrow for today and tomorrow

I miss my cat Darby

he hardly had anything to say

but I do miss the times we used to play

Together and I thought it would be forever

but forever is a never so sever that thought

He died in my arms

In my hands he was a little cat, understand

I felt him leave the land and expand out to heaven

I say I tell you I saw the color seven in the purple sunset that appeared the day he died like I cried so violently he had to make sure I could see that he was lonely but okay I just wish it was never today never today

I miss his black pelt, he was so voidous

That you wouldn’t notice him melt into a black chair

There were many times i sat on him

Accidentally cause I couldn’t see him clearly

cause he had his eyes closed

And I miss his sweet little nose

and his little kitten toes

and the way his eyes used to glow when the light caught it right

No lord, not tonight

Is it alright that everything has to die

when not everything has the means to cry

why

why

I say I’ll die when I say I’ll die but I’ve been saying I wanna die so much it feels like a failed first try and you wanna know why

Don’t you

like as if the Holy Ghost abandons anything true

it’s new like brand new like wow who knew

what we could do with nothing

start with destroying something

Muttering is verbal stuttering like tumbling through your choices and the voices said that the dead don’t speak so as long as you’re alive please do speak because you’ll spend an eternity sitting there like oh god if only

It is so lonely to not have a voice

choices boil down to a crown you place where you favor to burn everything now or to save it for later

waiter I wanted no ice in my ice water

can you tell me why I’m such a hater

why later is never good enough

It’s tough but I want it all now I want it all now I’m impatient it comes with being sapient because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life waiting sating that hunger to just go where nobody knows where the wind blows sweet and the lovebirds eat where the heat of the sun is as peaceful as an unloaded gun yeah that’s where I come from

(If the stars are so far away why do they fall down when I pray why don’t they stay in a fixed position from my perspective is there a difference to the ants in my yard I am a colossus but to me myself I just exist in a terrible state of mind but find something greater when you quit being such a hater)

There’s layers there’s layers to my writing it’s not exciting to read but it is interesting to bleed on digital pages and watch the changes as words appear on my screen verily my career is a dream as I can write poetry after looking at memes that make no sense like nothing ever does post modernism is a funeral simply just because it rusts like an old train station there is simply no universal location

and if you listened to gods pacemaker placed in your chest

You’d realize you really do have it best

Miles above the rest but that is an individual observation

It is not dependent on your location

We can all come to that conclusion without losing anything at all

the egos fall is the least painful of them all,

but yet we stall because all of this just exists without meaning

lord could I tell you to visit me while I’m dreaming

and bring Darby too I miss him, and you too

Goodnight

Happy 28th birthday to this iconic moment in Canadian history!!

On February 15th, 1996, former Canadian prime minister, Jean Chrétien created this could-be meme format by putting a protester in a chokehold. The photo of the event became known by many Canadians as the Shawinigan Handshake; a joke about the prime minister’s home town.

Now, this dude bred controversy man. Like any politician, you go to the controversy page of his Wikipedia page and all of them have full articles associated with them. This controversy, while having its own Wikipedia page, is barely even a controversy compared to everything else. In fact, the now 90-year-old man allegedly will still take photos reenacting the event. Notable examples being comedian Rick Mercer and current prime minister Justin Trudeau. There’s a Shawinigan microbrewery that has a beer depicting the event on the label. The label uses the likenesses of Chrétien and hockey commentator and fellow controversy-machine: Don Cherry.

So where did this come from? Why did the prime minister of Canada have this protester in a chokehold? Well, this may come as a shock, but Canada has only ever had two political assassinations: D’rcy McGee, 1868 and Pierre LaPorte, 1970. However that has not stopped people from trying.

Three months before the infamous Shawinigan Handshake photo was taken on Flag Day, Jean Chrétien survived an assassination attempt. Much like the president of the US, the PM resides in a publicly known address: 24 Sussex Street in Ottawa. A separatist snuck into the house in the early morning with a knife with the intention to slit Chrétien’s throat. The attack was narrowly missed due to (allegedly) the random chance of Chrétien’s wife Aline being up and spotting him.

So my man is tormented by the traumatic experience of almost getting killed in his sleep both by his own brain and the opposition. Needless to say, he’s a little on edge as he’s at this Flag Day ceremony, even more so when his security detail seemingly breaks up. Then, BAM! A protester is in his face. Having grown up a bit of a scrapper and having assassination on his mind, the PM (around 60 at the time) takes the guy in a chokehold, and the rest is history.

On a quick aside, four years later, Chrétien was pie’d by a protester and, this part seems relatively unclear, but it seems he had a trauma response to it. For whatever reason, the opposition decided this was fair game to bring up in the House of Commons. and one Tory MP was quoted as saying “next time it may not be a pie” which was interesting phrasing. However, this wasn’t new as they felt it was appropriate to make an ableist attack ad in 1993. The ad was regarding the appearance of his mouth, a result of a condition called Bell’s Palsy but that’s another story.

Anyway, thanks for tuning into Heritage Minutes with Goon! A show all about the funny and fact of modern Canadian politics and culture. Tune in next time to learn about the beginnings of Definitely Not The Opera: a tale of a nation hating opera so much that they fucking killed it.

PS Tumblr sucks and isn’t letting me add links so I’ll RB with sources in just a second. Hilariously I’m not embellishing this much at all.

[promptcorner]

I need to talk about this cat:

Here’s why:

It’s a dumb reason, but it’s still a reason. So, don’t attack anyone or assume anything. This is just a rant.

Way back in 2015, my dad was writing a new song for this challenge he set for himself. I don’t remember the specifics, but he was surfing the web and found the Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty Meme. However, at the time, it wasn’t called Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty. It was mostly called Butterfly Rainbow Unicorn Cat.

I think most people know the image I’m referring to. I can’t find the original post.

The name was mostly undecided, so Dad went with Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty because it rolled off the tongue.

He made a song that revolved around the meme and commissioned me to make an album cover. You all probably know where this is going.

I was, I think twelve when I made the cover. I was new to drawing digitally and was trying some things out.

If anyone is curious or wants to listen to my dad’s song, here’s the link:

The song discusses international issues, internet stuff, and life’s hardship but shifts focus to the Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty. Because, “Nothing could be wrong cus it looks so pretty!”✨🦋🎶

But yeah, I drew that cover. The name Bellapink5 was an old internet name I used before changing it to Bellapinkpen.

Anyways, cut to high school a few years later in 2019 and my dad tells me that some of his students at school (he’s a music teacher) told him that someone at Nick copied this song’s album cover.

Of course he goes, “What the H?” And looks it up. Low and behold he finds RBUK and tells me about it at dinner that night. We both thought, “What the H?” Because Felicity looks almost identical to the original meme and my drawing, the theme song is super close to Dad’s song too. It’s not by much, but it’s hard to deny someone at Nick didn’t see or hear any of these things and mishmashd them together. Because that original photoshopped cat, album art, and Dad’s song were the only threads that stuck out the most when searching Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty.

It’s actually very obvious when looking at these pictures close together. When you search Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, this is what you get:

I told a few friends and my grandparents about this, because I was a bit upset that a big company decided to use something that the internet made, something that I was involved in, but didn’t do anything with it!

I completely forgot about it after ranting for a bit. The show got cancelled and things moved on. But the memory came back and I decided to look some episodes up, to see if they really copied the album.

I watched Alpha Jay’s video essay on the matter, saying it kinda copied Unikitty. I do think Unikitty had a part to play. Because it’s existence definitely was a push for the show to be made in the first place. But I don’t think the art came from that show.

Then I stumbled onto Vailsklbum’s video and he literally shows Dad’s album in his video as a possible source of inspiration for this show along with the meme. My mouth literally dropped.

I know this show is like, four years old. But I need to rant again.

I’ll break down what both Jay’s video and Vail’s video pointed out that everyone in my family and friends noticed when looking at Felicity’s design…

I’ll do so in a reblog.

[About Blog]

- This is my Transformers fan blog! I usually just draw and write and that’s about it. Considering I have trouble getting new ideas in my noggin I decided to open REQUESTS and ASKS. But I’ll only be taking a few at time—you know the whole OPEN and CLOSED signs will be very prominent. This’ll go for both drawing and writing stuff.

There’s probably going to be more stuff to add on to this so make sure to see if I updated anything important on here like DNI or ASKS and REQUESTS.

— — —

[DNI]

- Homophobic; Transphobic; TERFs; Sexist; Racist; NSFW; Proshipper; Ableist -

— — —

[ASKS]

1) Can Accept

- Pretty much anything that doesn’t make me uncomfortable. And I can be slow when it comes to checking my inbox so if you like what I do here, you might have to be a little patient. I like it when people just come by to say hi or compliment my work, so don’t be afraid to do so. You don’t need to feel obligated to spare my feelings too, I can take criticism when I need it.

2) Won’t Accept

- AGAIN! NOTHING CREEPY! Don’t ask me about personal stuff please, I’ll update small bits on how I’m doing, don’t be pushy. And don’t send me random links without context or at least a small description, it gives off creepy vibes.

[Fandoms]

- Transformers: Rescue Bots : Good God, this show was like the very first layer of my TF hyper fixation—not my biggest fixation just my first.

- Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy : THIS SHOW is my biggest fixation it’s so cute and wholesome and clever and fun it is such a good show I love the characters so much.

- Transformers: Cyberverse : PLEASE—this show is AWESOME, I praise it for the characters, the story, the character designs, the animation, the EVERYTHING(this is where I personally think Soundrod first originated).

- Transformers: Robots In Disguise 2015 : Hear me out, this show is actually kinda funny in a non-ironic way I promise, and the designs aren’t half bad.

- Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye : I have read zero TF MTMTE and I never plan to because I would actually die from dehydration after crying so long; but the fandom makes me laugh and I like the art.

- Transformers: Lost Light : Again I have read zero Lost Light comics and I don’t plan on it; because I feel like I know enough just from the memes.

- Transformers: Animated : This show SHOULD be more popular, and it’s the main reason I have my artstyle today (and please don’t bully me but when I found out my fave characters dies I stopped watching….. like immediately………. I didn’t finish season one).

- Transformers: Earthspark : This show, oh my god, I have a love-dread relationship with it; it has so much care-free positivity, an adorable group of characters, nice designs with world-building being amazing so far, but I know for a fact it will destroy me sooner or later. P.S. it already has

- Transformers: Botbots : This. This…. Where do I begin; oh right, literally the TF fandom parody—like I know for a fact that 85% of the characters’ personalities are inspired by random TF tumblr posts, you can’t deny that.

[Side-Blogs]

1) @transformers-bold-bright-brisk

- My blog for my TF fan Continuity project. Right now it’s mostly drafts and concept art and writings,

[Communication]

1) Follower Interactions

- I will do my best to answer ASKS because I am terrible at checking my inbox. Also, I’m going to try and reply to comments, but if I stop doing that—it’s not because I don’t like you guys, it’s cause I’m lazy and I usually don’t have anything interesting to reply back with. And please read my DNI, ASKS, and REQUESTS boxes before interacting, thanks. Also ask stuff will be tagged as either #sphny asks (𖦹////𖦹)•*°⊹ or #sphny answers (𖦹0 𖦹)•*°⊹

2) Mutual Interactions

- Hey! If you followed me and I followed you back and somehow we were able to become regular chit chat buddies from either in the tags, reblog games, DMing, and etc. then you probably know me enough to understand my thought process when I talk to people. And if you’re a new mutual and actually want to interact with each other more than same goes for you—read my DNI, ASKS, and REQUESTS boxes. I respect your boundaries, you respect mine—win win. I would honestly be very excited to talk to me people on this platform, I just get a little bit shy/anxious sometimes

— — —

[Posting]

1) Art

- When I post my art I’ll usually tag it under #sphny arts (𖦹w𖦹)•*°⊹. And right now I’ve been posting A LOT of RBA fanart. But if I feel really motivated to draw requests I’ll do my best to draw TF characters from other continuities in my style too.

2) Writing

- What I write consists of drabbles, headcannons, one shots, short-reviews, and other opinions I have that I like to share with the world. And I’ll give an itty bitty irl update just to notify I’m still alive. And they’re going to be tagged under #sphny speaks (𖦹<𖦹)•*°⊹ #sphny alternates universe (𖦹ㅁ𖦹)•*°⊹ #sphny originates character (𖦹▿𖦹)•*°⊹

3) Reblogging

- Oh boy. I reblog a very random assortment of posts. I reblog from mutes, followers, and strangers all the time. I’ll partake in reblog games I tag under #reblog shenanigans which would always be a new uquiz or for picrew challenges it would be #picrew shenanigans. When I reblog art or literally anything I COMPLIMENT THEM IN TAGS! And in the actual text part if I’m super eccentric about it too. And they’ll be tagged under #sphny reblogs (𖦹Q𖦹)•*°⊹

// i need to catch more sleep, but maybe i'll finally edit stuff around like promo, clean up my rules page or refine muse info if i can think of it later; anyway the more notable things i put into the guidelines / general information stuff for now

Plotting is the easiest way to write with me. But if you rather wing it or something else, let me know! Despite plotting being the best way to write for me, I struggle on ideas often and can take a long time to generate one. I apologise for that

I try my hardest to respectfully write of Frosting’s potential trauma, reactions and feelings when they come up but struggle to process the thoughts myself. Please be patient with me, and feel free to point at anything that may be stepping out of line generally

My inbox memes do not expire- but only on the basis that you clarify which meme its coming from due to my poor memory. If it was the most recent one, it’s highly likely I’ll know which one. But if it’s been a while then please clarify so I can link back to it!

Highly time blind due to dissociative and memory issues; tell me to back off if needed! I don't comprehend time very well at all sorry

[astral-athame]

Hello! My name is Sapph! Welcome to my RP blog!

This blog is for an indie, witch, OC of mine: Cassia Keller. I'm currently making a more well put together bio page for her (including different verses), but in the mean time, this is where you'll find all the information you need <3

(Last Update: 1/1/2024)

Here are a few things to know (Feel free to read just the bolded stuff if you’re in a hurry, the unbolded just elaborates):

Mun is 25+ and will only rp with those who are 18+! If you aren’t 18+ please don’t interact. I’m just not comfortable with it.

I don’t write much smut, so I apologize if things head that way and I end up dropping the thread without warning (I don’t usually drop threads intentionally, it’s probably just stuck in my drafts until I’m in the headspace to write it, but that day might never come, so I apologize).

I have a separate side blog for nsfw content! I'll might reblog some smutty over there, though in general I prefer to write it on discord. It's not a smut shaming thing and I'll never judge anyone for writing it on their main blog! I just don't feel confident in my smut writing abilities so I like to keep it a bit separate sometimes.

I’m super slow with replies most of the time. Totally feel free to give me a nudge if it’s been a while since I’ve replied. I lose track of stuff so easily and then feel like I’m not allowed to reply to it when I remember it because it’s been a while.

I’m technically semi-selective, but mostly not selective at all. Aside from the rule of only writing with muns who are 18+, I’m actually not particularly selective.

I’ll ship just about anything with just about anyone, but I still reserve the right to not ship with a character, especially on first interaction.

Cassia is bisexual, so I'll ship her with any gender &lt;3

REBLOG KARMA: I try to be respectful and reblog things from the source or from a meme blog or whatever because I understand why people don’t want to be feel like they’re being used as a meme source. If I ever reblog something from you that isn’t a reply, I’m sorry. I try not to let it happen, but sometimes it does.

That said: REBLOG WHATEVER YOU WANT FROM ME. Seriously, it doesn’t bother me at all. You don’t even have to send me a meme to reblog it. Just... go ahead. Reblog it. It’s totally fine by me <3 (Though I would definitely prefer if you sent me a meme when you reblog.)

OOC conversation can be really hard for me. I try and usually I’m fine when it comes to plotting, but I drop the ball a lot or come off as cold a lot because I just don’t have the energy to talk ooc a lot of the time. Please don’t take it personally, it’s just that my social battery is usually at 40% or less in general oTL

If we’re shipping something together and you’ve decided you don’t ship it anymore / don’t want to write it anymore- please just tell me. It'll make life a lot easier on both of us <3

I may add more rules at a later point, but I think these are the most important ones <3

fic stats meme! 💌

Tagged by @mangacat201 and, speaking of eclectic mixes of fandoms... This will cross as many of my ao3 accounts that I can remember the login info to (which, it turns out, was 6 separate accounts)

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.

most hits: imagining the integration of our images - 5777 hits (The Devil Judge)

On the one day that Gaon is late to class, it happens to be the day they’re picking their practicum names. Supposedly, as Soohyun tells him later, they had picked based on their standings in the class. Gaon, at third, would have had nearly any choice in practicum. Instead, he trudges up the steps to the penitentiary with reluctant acceptance of the failure from the course.

It’s his luck, he thinks, to be assigned the singular criminal to not yet answer any of the questions posed to him, whether by professionals or by students trying to loosen him up. “Don’t give him anything, Gaon-ah,” Jungho had said, resting his hand on Gaon’s shoulder with a worried expression. Gaon knew, if it had been up to Jungho, if the practicum wasn’t overseen by the department as a whole, that the man, practically his father, would have found a way to give him anyone but Kang Yohan.

Kang Yohan. The man’s name itself was barely spoken aloud now, six years after he had been sentenced to life in prison. He had been such a rare case, of a smart and ambitious young man snapping. Gaon had stayed up late, reading on the case, well past when he likely should have gone to sleep.

second most kudos: a place to be - 326 kudos (The Devil Judge)

They’re in Switzerland for thirteen months before Yohan glances down at his phone and Elijah recognizes the number as Gaon’s. “Are you seeing him?” Elijah asks, casual and calm, like every other time she’s asked the question. It works, because Yohan freezes and slowly raises his head to stare at her, incredulous.

“What?”

“Are you seeing him?” she repeats and nods her head, as if to say yes, him. Yohan scoffs.

“Don’t be childish.”

third most comments: envious of the musical sounds of my name from your tongue, whispered in the folds of being - 24 comment threads (The Devil Judge)

“Let’s speak honestly,” Kang Yohan says lowly. “You’re covering for one of the other members of your group. Which one is it?” Gaon stares at him, silent. “I’ll be lenient if you tell me,” Yohan prompts. “Who is it? Kim Chanhee? Yoo Joonwoo? Bae Woojin?”

“I’ve admitted to the crimes countless times and I have been sentenced, Judge Kang,” Gaon says steadily. He looks back down and returns to shading his landscape. He doesn’t look down quickly enough to miss the curl of Kang Yohan’s lips into a smile.

“You will work until you are able to pay off an amount of one hundred and thirty seven million won,” Yohan says, tapping his nails against the desk.

“I stole one hundred and twenty seven million won’s worth of items.” Gaon looks up again, frowning.

“And another ten million won for perjury,” Yohan counters. “Good day, Kim Gaon. I’ll see you soon.”

fourth most bookmarks: voices stolen and people borrowed - 81 bookmarks (The Devil Judge)

It’s hard to get back into the groove of writing. The words aren’t quite there like they used to be, and Gaon spends more time staring at empty pages than actually writing. The muscle memory isn’t quite there and the words escape him when he needs them most.

But, like clockwork, there’s a customer who comes in at the same time every night, who gives Gaon a respite from staring at the empty page and hoping that words will come to him.

The customer always comes in with messy hair, in a hoodie and ripped jeans and boots that Gaon only places as brand name after the fourth time he sees the man. He buys an energy drink, a packaged meal, and whatever the brand of fruit snacks in the far left corner of the store are called, as many of the fruit snacks as he can fit into his pocket. He pays in cash and never speaks. Gaon notices, the same time he recognizes the brand of shoe that he wears, that the man has earbuds in, hidden underneath the shagginess of his hair. It takes another week before Gaon catches a glimpse of the man’s phone- the newest model Android- and he realises that the man isn’t listening to music, but rather, an audiobook.

fifth most words: Look Who's Inside Again - 17214 words (TXT, Super Junior)

She's never talked about his father before. All Kang Taehyun knows, is that his father and mother broke up before he was born, before his mother even knew she was pregnant with him, and she hadn't been able to get in contact with him after.

And then he debuted, and his mother finally breaks, finally gave him pictures. Taehyun recognizes the men in the picture immediately- what young idol doesn't know them- and he realizes in a split second that his life has just become infinitely more confusing.

--

Or Kang Taehyun finds out his dad is the leader of Super Junior and they both struggle to find what family means to them, when their homes have always been broken.

fic with the least words: Things that will Disappear are so Beautiful - 549 words (BTS)

The sun forms shades of pink and orange and purple on the horizon, setting in the purest fashion; in silence, disappearing without a trace. The sounds of the city are like ambience, faded against the pounding in his head, behind his eyes, and the itch against his inner lip, and the twitch in his fingers to move, always move. The twitter of birds chirping in the trees and the quiet rush of cars on the street, occasionally broken by the harsh honking of an impatient traveler; some days he misses the silence of the world and the simplicity of the wind against individual blades of grass, flowing like ripples following a single drop in a lake.

Tagging: @stars-after-dark, @godotismissingx, @thedeviljudges, @technitango and @lilacariess, as well as anyone else who wants to!

Culture shock and the internet

I’d like to talk a bit on the nature of culture shock, and how it works on a mechanical level in our brains. Some people who tend not to ever leave their country or region don’t necessarily think about what it’s like to live in another country, and explaining the nuances of how another countries culture works would take an age, so instead i'm going to use the internet as the example, a place we’ve all migrated to sooner or later.

I’ll leave a link to a video here, put it on in the background while you read this, or better yet, on a second monitor/phone. That way you can see and understand what it is I'm explaining as I explain it.

This video is technically funny, but also a full on vibe, it’s a bit of an old meme but that doesn't make it any less of a banger song. First it’s based on the song gangsters paradise, that a stranger with minimal contact to the internet might know by heart, so it’s a strong start, but that's where the simple ends.

Vocoding is the process of taking the audio for one thing and compressing it against another signal, this can lead to unexpected and fun artifacting that in this case is used to turn beatboxing into a more melodic format. Vocoding in this way is uncommon at best outside of the internet, but still possible.

The beatboxing used is Verbalaces thanos beatbox, the movie itself is common outside of the internet but the beatbox is wholly original and exists only on the internet. All of these levels combined make the audio portion of the video and that alone is a lot of information to have to explain to a “foreigner” to the internet.

If someone with limited or no understanding of the internet were to hear this, they’d simply think it was a worse version of the song they’ve heard, not understanding the potential enjoyment or comedy of the song, and this is only the beginning.

The video is RTX Morshu with a funny filter over it. RTX, in the modern age of the internet, is used when a common or simply modelled thing becomes suddenly more complex and well animated. It’s a bastardisation of the RTX branding used to describe a particularly powerful line of graphics cards used to produce complex lighting.

Morshu is a character from an old and obscure legend of zelda game that people who make jokes on the internet decided could be made to do and say funny things, it followed naturally that someone would have him sing/beatbox.

Bringing all the elements together we have the totality of the video, stretched to 1 hour in respect for the old 1 hour challenges from the early days of internet funnies. Now that you have full context, consider what a tourist sees.

A 1 hour video of a random fat guy making incomprehensible sounds in the tune of gangsters paradise. It makes no sense, yet most of the people who saw the video understood innately. Culture shock isn’t the shock of realising everything is different in another region, it’s the check that those differences have meaning.

Culture shock is realising that the little details of your life are arbitrary, and that if you’d lived somewhere else you’d be a totally different person, it’s realising that these strangers from a distant land are just as deep and complex as you and your friends are.

My most memorable moment of culture shock was on a visit to japan, I sat in the common area of my hotel looking out the windows at a massive billboard of a naked woman trying to work out what product they were selling that could possibly warrant such an advert.

Then it struck me that it was an advert for the mall across the road, the advert wasn’t special, it was common, this was simply how such businesses marketed themselves, and i realised that in the UK a billboard like that could only be used for certain products and services. I realised how arbitrary it all was.

Culture shock is ultimately subjective, and you’ll never experience it until you travel and experience it, but I hope I've given some small insight to those who’ve never travelled.
