Do you have any fics you recommend off the top of your head? Sorry if you’ve answered this already
Hi! I have not answered this already, and I've ended up NOT answering this off the top of my head lol. I'm assuming you mean Avatar fics (although I am happy to give recs for any other type of fic I read, or just best ones I've read if that's what you meant?). I've made this stupidly extensive and long list sorted into categories of Spider fics (with some bonus Avatar fics unrelated to Spider that did rock). Here it is you are welcome.
A NOTE: These are fics I have bookmarked and I enjoyed enough to recommend. I have read a ton more obviously, and I can give more specific ones, but they might not be of the same quality :)))) Also I don't read anything Quaritch/Recom sympathetic so you won't find that here. And don't worry I will continue my what Spider fic am I thinking of series, because I am not giving any actual reviews here lol. It will be marked if it contains mature content, and linked if I have done a review/rec for it.

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT
VOCALOID RECOMMENDATIONS MASTER POST
I've been collecting all your vocaloid recommendations in one place, so everyone can take a listen!
And if like me you knew nothing about vocaloid before that nuclear discourse, maybe you'll find a hidden gem you wouldn't have found otherwise! <3
Submitted anonymously
Thought I'd add to the Vocaloid discourse by pointing out that several "irl" bands actually started out by using vocaloids. You can find a few who talk about it in the Hatsune Miku live concerts (super cool use of holo developed for those too!). That's really the crux of what sets vocaloid apart from much of the machine discourse; it's CREATED oppourtunities for small musicians instead of taking it away. Specifically by not just supplying a synthetic voice program to work with, but by tying a star identity to each voicebank that makes people more willing to explore obscure artist music. It also distincts the works made by the vb's from the artists who were paid to voice them, so you can't make them say things that sounds like you're putting bad takes in the original artist's mouth. Everyone knows and understands it's a fake version for the purpose of artistic creativity, not an attempt to steal the voice of the original singer.
Anyway since we're doing Vocaloid recommends now:
Giga - BRING IT ON (Inferiority superiority) ft. Kagamine Rin & Len
"Hop! Step! Instant Death! A Happiness Dance Death-Trap" and "The Path to Eternal Happiness...I Found It" both by Utata-P
Entomologists, Appetite of a people pleaser and Rotary Dial by GHOST
VIRAL ft. Meika Hime and Melancolia ft. GUMI by QueenPb
(note - Melancolia contains flashing images right from the start)
And last but not least, my personal Vocaloid feels song, TELL YOUR WORLD by kz, who sums up some of the beauty of the Vocaloid fandom pretty well
Submitted anonymously
Ok, I know the blog was kinda overflown of vocaloid discurse asks. So instead of discussing I brought RECOMMENDATIONS❗
Because, like, Defoko is pretty known in the Utau world, but she may be one of the worst examples of "human-like voice".
So to bring some counter examples of voicebanks that do not have much of a robotic vibe, I have here:
Some utuaus
【Namine Ritsu】-ERROR 2018ver.【UTAU Cover】
【Sukone Tei】Love Me, Love Me, Love Me (Music box ver.) 【UTAUカバー】
Some not so known vocaloids
[Aoki Lapis] Circus Monster [VOCALOID]
[Mayu] VOCALOID 3 ~Kodoku no Bannin~ Guard of Loneliness
【Galaco】 The Beast. 【Vocaloid3 Cover】
【MEIKA Mikoto】 Cantarella 【カバー】
And some slow songs, that require whisper-like tuning <3
【24 VOCALOIDS CHORUS】 Hirari, Hirari ひらり、ひらり 【HD】
Kamui Gakupo A Doll's Voice
Submitted by @indigo-flightly-falls
Oh!!!
If we're doing vocaloid recs, I'm here to suggest A Crow's Trial!
Vane - A Crow's Trial (ft. Dex & Gumi Eng.)【Vocaloid Original】
it's one of my favorites and has some Vibes. It's a bit hard to understand the story but the last verse lives in my head rent free :D
Submitted anonymously
speaking about the vocaloid debate- they haven't submitted the playlist yet, but if they listened to English songs using Japanese/Chinese/other voicebanks then it'll inherently sound a little off. different languages and different voicebanks have different pronunciations needed for speech, and are thus recorded for the voicebank. use a Japanese voicebank for an English song and you won't get the right words pronounced right, or you'll get an accent, etc etc.
also some vocaloids only have one or two voicebanks and that's it. Big Al only has one (i might be wrong on that, but i know his is for V2 software), whereas Hatsune Miku has every single voicebank made over the years (V1-V5) and has versions made to sing in Japanese, Chinese, and English. she has so, so much more variety than other vocaloids and can be more fluent and clear compared to lesser known vocaloids.
and since we're sharing favorite vocaloid songs to convert the submitter, here's two of mine because i have too many favorites to share:
Carnivore - OrgansDotOrg
this one has Big Al as supporting vocals and it absolutely slaps, also OrgansDotOrg is my-all time favorite artist pleaseee go support them!!!
Seraphim on the Ring - Mitchie M
seriously, if you're looking for realistic vocaloid vocals then go listen to Mitchie-M!! Katio and Len just speaking in this one sound just like real people
Fools are attracted to anomaly - Utsu-P
vocaloid is not all pop and 'kawaii', vocaloid metal is some of my favorite to listen to
some other producers i also like:
tart
Ferry
Riproducer
PinocchioP
Kikuo
SweetSoSweet
KakyuuKei
KaitsukoP
Submitted by @ssilly--ssadass
utau is underrated. not a hot take just my segway into giving you utau covers [also covers cuz nobody gives anybody but teto good originals. pick up the slack people. also sidenote no teto. cuz i was priortizing other utaus only to realize i added too many songs and couldnt fit a teto one in. sorryn't]
Aishite (covered by Defoko)
GHOST RULE (covered by Defoko)
Bug (covered by Chanchopin V1 and Giga Lacan)
Darling (covered by I think Darling- I dont know this utau and am going off the description being like "lmao Darling utau covers Darling maretu heehoo")
Corpse Dance (covered by Defoko)
ECHO (covered by Defoko)
(note - ECHO contains flashing images)
Submitted anonymously
really funny hearing the take about how vocaloids/voice synths can't have singing styles when there's multiple voice synths explicitly modelled after particular styles. prima (opera), sachiko (enka), and maiko hakaine (screamo metal) are just the ones i can list off the top of my head. and even if a voice synth isn't modelled after a singing style, they can still be tuned that way!
anyway, for song recommendations! gothic and loneliness is breathtaking (it's also a nightmare in project diva lol)
Gothic and Loneliness [Kagamine Rin] - Narushima Takashi
Submitted anonymously
oh wait can we still send in vocaloid recommendations? if so…
• koisuru beam by kyaami/cillia : this song is so cute and rin’s tuning here is some of the best i’ve heard
•jitterbug by hachiya nanashi - goes hard as hell and i adore the mv the song has
•lost and found by sasakure.uk - i only recently heard of it (idk how i only just found it) and it’s mesmerising i love it
uhh i can’t think of anymore right now but uhh i hope that if u hear these u will like them

Hi! I just saw that you have a lot of Endhawks in your blog. Do you maybe have some fic recs? Even if it's fanfics you've written it's tfine by me! I want to get into the ship, but so far no fic has really called my attention😭 If you know a really angsty one, I'd love to read it akdbajdb. Thank you for reading this and have a good day!
Hi anon!
Endhawks is one of my favorite ships of all time! There's something hauntingly beautiful about how these two find each other and support the other in their own way. Their love can be quiet or broadcast on social media, but either way, it always feels authentic to me. I like my hurt with comfort and happy endings but I'll try to do some recs! This is a short list but I tried to focus on hurt/comfort and slightly angstier pieces. I have a lot more ready to share. I'm not including fics with more than 1k kudos, as those are pretty easy to find (with that being said, Where the Archangels Go by surveycorpsjean is a deliciously plotty, angsty post-Paranormal Liberation War Arc fic).
Charmed by nicolefrickle- Nicole is better known for Trouble, a college AU, but this is a 1k feel-good read where Endeavor warms up Hawks while they're on patrol. I visit this fic whenever I need a mood lift.
keep it coming by bakunoist - casual sex, virgin Hawks, a good amount of supporting cast
Threader by Jinbeizaki - An AU where soulmates are connected by the red string of fate. Hawks can cut threads. Enji is severing his thread to his wife but there's a bit more to it than that. :P
More Than Enough by DJFishHead - I have a weakness for the hurt/comfort that the Paranormal Liberation War Arc brings, between Dabi's official reveal and Hawks's wings, from both Endeavor and Hawks sharing their stories in the hospital, it's really prime Endhawks fodder. This fic is the embodiment of a lot of what I love about this time period.
Crescendo by quietfaun - All of Alice's fics are amazing but this one is one of my favorites. It's so romantic and you can feel how much they want each other in each scene. It's a pretty quick read too.
Letting Off Some Steam by AwkardlyUnoriginal - Hawks is a phone sex operator and Enji needs a release. It's a fun read and very sexy.
it won't make sense right now by bea_meupscotty - I used to not like soulmate tropes but fics like this turned me into a convert. This is one of those "your soulmate's first words to you are tattooed on your skin" soulmate aus and it's very satisfying. Misunderstandings, light angst, all of it.
Our Room, Untouched by Time by keptcolor - Jeanist sets up an anonymous sex opportunity for Endeavor. This one is mostly smut and sweet but the reveal is really well-written.
Words Never Spoken (self rec) - Endeavor wakes up in an alternate reality where he was able to save Touya, he's married to Hawks, and he's a teacher at UA. This is my most angsty Endhawks fic so I humbly offer this up to you. :)
I hope this gives you a start into Endhawks! Most of these authors (including myself) have multiple endhawks fics so if you like the writing style, be sure to check them out! Overall, we're a pretty chill bunch of shippers who love our beefy fire daddy and snarky birb.

18+ only, I get up to the sort of shit that can only be properly consented to by adults. If you don't have your age listed on your blog then I'm blocking you. If you're a minor then do yourself a favor, be safe, and move along.
This blog is still fairly new, so this pinned post will be a bit barebones at first, but I'll be updating it as I go along.
I'm Alex, bigender/genderqueer, amab, top, switch, currently single but ethically non-monogamous.
My asks and DM's are open, typically very happy to show off, role play, or even more mundane shit like talk music recs
Titles/how I like to be referred to:
Since I'm bigender and a switch, I'm happy with any direction you want to take with me. The only preference is that you commit to the bit - which is to say neutral terms tend not do it for me, and I more prefer hard swings one way or the other. My go-tos for dominant terms tend to be daddy/mommy, and for submissive terms I like good girl/boy. submissive terms I can still get behind some gender neutral terms though, fucktoy being a perfect example.
Generally I'm pretty flexible with my terms, if the terms I listed are ones you're less comfortable with (or if you're just more interested in others), please feel free to try them out.
My Kinks:
I'm generally pretty open with my kinks, save for what I have explicitly listed as not interested. If you're curious about something that I don't list, feel free to ask me about it, I'd love for you to tell me more.
Hard Yes: marking, choking, impact play, breeding, hypno, worship, various forms of cnc* (somno especially, physical force/manhandling as well), orientation play, exhibitionism, gender play**
Not as interested, but still happy to play along: pet play, degradation, detrans**
Not personally interested - I don't mind if you're into it but you won't be doing it with me: fauxcest (I enjoy titles like daddy/mommy but nothing further), watersports, scat
Hard Limits - I don't like full fledged DNI's but don't bring these up with me, and if you're into them then you're on thin ice at best: Age play, race play, feederism.
This is all fantasy. Hard DNI if you're not able to distinguish between kink and reality - this includes genuine transphobia, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
*I do enjoy CnC but the first C is very important to me. That involves clear communication and a mutual acceptance/understanding of boundaries. While I don't mind jumping into things quickly, it'll likely be accompanied by ooc messages to check in until we get to know each other. Down that line if I'm coming onto you too aggressively, please feel free to say so and I'll be happy to slow down.
**most of my interest in gender play (which would include detrans) is with me as the subject. my bigender ass LOVES playing around with both sides of the supposed binary, both on it's own and in the context of orientation play (or trans supremacy). If you're into being misgendered then I don't mind indulging you, but the reason these are listed at different levels of interest is because the interest varies by my role in it.

[ Okay, so...I’ve been a little too busy / sick to really be considering this blog like I wanted (great timing on my part), but I thought I’d give a very honest rundown of ALL the muses on this blog, how I view shipping them, and both IC and OOC ship biases. I’ll warn you now: there’s very little wiggle room. That’s both because I really don’t see many of them as someone to ship, but also mostly because these muses come from an established verse I wrote before Tumblr, which has been heavily plotted. Sorry not sorry, but it’s the only canon verse I feel like writing them in. I’ve also plotted a lot in regards to my AUs. It’s just how I do things. If you want canons who aren’t so rigidly written...find another blog!
Under a cut for length. Also please bear in mind these are all my opinions about the characters - it’s not gospel, it’s preference.
First, however, a few general rules:
Respect the headcanons I have for my characters genders, and sexual / romantic orientations. If a character is written as straight, they WILL NOT ship with a character of the same gender. Same for any other conflictions.
In general, I do not ship anything a generation gap or more. No sensei / student relations, and no parents with those their kids’ age, even as adults. It’s just a personal squick.
In addition, NO incestuous ships, and NO ships between someone over eighteen, and someone under. Agebending is fine - I just can’t do those kinds of ships.
To avoid having to list a LOT of nOTPs, any that breach these rules won’t be listed. If it says N/A, odds are there ARE some, they’re just covered by default by these rules, so I won’t list them. Some of these rules do have grey areas - feel free to ask, but also respect my decisions when I make them. Thank you~ ]
[ CANON MUSES ]
[ Uchiha Itachi ]
Ship biases: None nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, demisexual / heteroromantic Established ships: Suigin Ryū (kusunokihime) (singleship) In regards to canon, I don’t ship Itachi with anyone, really - he’s just too closed off, and his personality just...doesn’t really mesh with anyone’s in a romantic way. In regards to his most popular ships: Kisame feels much more like a friend to me; Izumi I don’t regard as canon due to being implemented after the manga ended; Deidara...hates him? Admires him sure, but doesn’t want anything to do with him. And anyone else...I just can’t see. His personality (which again, is just my opinion) makes him a very picky guy. The only canonxcanon ship I’ve ever written him in was Ita///Hina, but I don’t really enjoy that ship any longer...and again, I write him as singleship. And no, my ship isn’t out of nowhere - it came from literally hundreds of pages of RP from before Tumblr. Just because no one here wrote it doesn’t mean it’s an asspull =P This also plays into his own bias - he’s been written in this ship for about seven years. He’s a lil dedicated.
[ Uchiha Sasuke ]
Ship biases: Sasu///Hina nOTPs: Sasu///Saku Info: Cis male, greysexual / heteroromantic Established ships: My Hinata, tentative with gentlegracefulandfatal’s Hinata in ALAS, plotted with quietkunoichi’s Kimiko in OMaM (highly selectively multiship) Sasuke is by far one of the hardest to ship (don’t let the two ships fool you). The way I write Sasuke is exceedingly mistrustful: of both others, and himself. He’s obsessive about his family after all he lost. And everyone he had connections to pre-defection? He’s either neutral, or negative with. Those like Sakura and Ino who fawned over him shallowly he has a negative connotation with. Naruto, too - his teammates are by far his biggest obstacle due to their treatment of him after he left. He considers their insensitivities to his decisions and struggles - even AFTER learning what Konoha did to him, and STILL trying to drag him back - a huge offense. To start, he has a very negative view of any Sakura or Naruto muses, just as a warning. Most others are either lightly negative, or neutral. That doesn’t mean he can’t come to get along with them, it just takes work. And ships a LOT more so. Partly due to his impressions of other characters, but also heavily due to his own nature and view of himself. Due to my own bias, I pair him by default with my Hinata, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN he’ll get along with EVERY Hinata besides my own. He’s had one make him the angriest I’ve seen him in RP, and I’ve RPed him for seven years. It’s NOT a guarantee. Even so, the other Hinata he’s written with now has taken a lot of development. Bias =/= autoship.
[ Uchiha Shisui ]
Ship biases: None nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, heterosexual / heteroromantic Established ships: arranged marriage AU with wanderingmelodies’ Rin (highly selectively multiship) Shisui, despite his flirty nature, is actually really hard to pin down in a relationship. He’s personable, and that might show as him being playful or flirty. But he rarely has any intentions behind it. In ALAS, he spent a decade completely alone. His social skills beyond his family are a combination of how he was as a kid, and mimicry as he adjusts. For the moment, he’s not really interested in actually BEING with someone. He’s got too much to think about in his canon: both in regards to threats against his family, and his own psychological well-being. He might LOOK functional, but he’s got work to do on himself before he’s anywhere near ready to approach someone romantically. Rin is a special case, as she’s written in a VERY rarely used non-mass AU, where Shisui lacks these attributes. Personally I don’t like to use the verse much, but this was an exception.
[ Hyūga Hinata ]
Ship biases: Sasu///Hina, Naru///Hina nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, biromantic / demisexual Established ships: My Sasuke, but none in RP yet (selectively multiship) Hinata, while not as psychologically impaired as the previous two, still has her share of traumas. In ALAS canon, Naruto does not acknowledge her love for him. At first this is quite painful, especially after her fight with Pein and Naruto’s subsequent silence. It leaves her feeling both unlovable, and like a fool who then shuts herself off from others romantically to keep from being hurt again. But post 699, Hinata has grown exponentially in regards to her emotions, and no longer pines after him. That said, I do still enjoy Naru///Hina, just...with more outside-canon development. It’s really the only other ship I’d say has a very good chance of happening. In ALAS, Hinata is paired with my Sasuke by default after a lengthy epilogue arc development. That doesn’t mean she’ll ship with any Sasuke, just like my Sasuke won’t ship with just any Hinata. It’s just a bias I have, but it - again - does not equate to autoshipping. While I don’t have any nOTPs with her that don’t fall under aforementioned rules, I don’t really actively ship her in anything else, either. I used to ship Ita///Hina, but...not so much anymore. It could happen, but it’s not a bias.
[ Hyūga Neji ]
Ship biases: Neji///Ten nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, demisexual / heteroromantic Established ships: NPC Tenten, but none in RP yet (highly selectively multiship) Neji isn’t one I’ve thought about shipping much beyond with Tenten due to his role in ALAS, and their creating Hinode, their son. That’s not to say he’s completely cut off from shipping, but Tenten makes the most narrative sense for the verse. That being said, he’s a very prudish / conservative fellow - he values tradition highly, and it’s not easy to get with him. He wants to do things right, and slow. And his personality is, admittedly, a bit hard to get on with: he’s prideful, snobby, and stubborn to a fault. People he finds superfluous or risque might rub him the wrong way due to these values / traits. That said, I don’t have any nOTPs for him that aren’t covered by the above mentioned rules.
[ Hyūga Hanabi ]
Ship biases: Kono///Hana nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, heteroromantic / heterosexual Established ships: None (selectively multiship) Hanabi isn’t one that’s actually shipped in ALAS - while the story runs until she’s about 32, her romance hasn’t been established yet in the plot, but I do have a bias for shipping her with Konohamaru. There aren’t a lot of established characters her age, so canon options are a bit limited. My Hanabi is a bit precocious and maybe a little flirty, but also takes her role as Hyūga heiress very seriously. She won’t actually date anyone too easily - Konohamaru is from a notable clan, and has a very good reputation as both a shinobi and person. So if she’s to ship with someone, it’d have to be up to her own standards. Doesn’t mean she’s above being playful, but playful doesn’t equate to serious.
[ Uchiha Obito ]
Ship biases: Obi///Rin (as kids) nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, heteroromantic / greysexual Established ships: None (probably unshippable) Obito might actually be first in how difficult I view a muse to be shipped. Admittedly, I write very little Obito in ALAS, and he’s pretty much strictly canon. And as in canon, he’s entirely dedicated to his plan. Any notion of romance or bonds is pretty much dead in him up until his change of heart in the war: and he dies as in canon, so...not exactly shippable in those few hours. It would take an an astronomical event to shake him out of his dedication and determination enough to both take that risk, and break that feeling of numbness and isolation. I really don’t know if it would be possible the way I write him.
[ Uchiha Mikoto ]
Ship biases: Fuga///Miko, Kushi///Miko nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, bicurious (but claiming to be heterosexual / heteroromantic) Established ships: My Fugaku (selectively multiship) By default, I write Mikoto as pretty happy in her marriage to Fugaku. A little strained as he favors Itachi and she favors Sasuke, but she does still very much love him, though also finds him overly strict. That said, I do like the idea of her having a confused crush on Kushina that she very much denies due to personal and clan-related bias of heteronormativity. In an AU where she develops this before her marriage, I could see the ship working with chemistry. Otherwise, I really don’t ship her beyond that, and she’s married by default and would NOT be interested in infidelity.
[ Uchiha Fugaku ]
Ship biases: Fuga///Miko nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, heterosexual / heteroromantic Established ships: My Mikoto (highly selectively multiship) As with Mikoto, I write Fugaku by default in his marriage with her, and really don’t have any other ships for him. MAYBE an AU where his arranged marriage to Manami pans out, but...that would change a LOT as it would mean no Itachi, Sasuke, or Shisui. So it’d be a major AU, but maybe one to pair with a Kushi///Miko ship. Otherwise, he’s a taken man by default.
[ Uchiha Madara ]
Ship biases: None nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, heterosexual / greyromantic Established ships: None (unshippable) Madara is the only muse I write strictly in AUs: NOTHING canon, as I just...don’t really feel any pull to writing him in those verses. While he IS a character in ALAS, I don’t want to RP him in that verse. So far he’s only been written in two AUs: Divine Light, and Of Monsters and Men. In the former, he’s an antagonist with no intention to be romantically involved with anyone. There’s really no narrative room for him to be in a relationship of any kind. In the latter, he’s also a bit of an antagonist. Though not as against being involved with someone, it’s hardly ever for romance. He’ll have flings, but only shallowly to get what he wants: he doesn’t have any intention to have relationships beyond the briefly physical. He has a habit of keeping interesting women around until he gets bored. A bit hard to spice life up when you’re been alive for as long as he has: his attention span has only diminished. Otherwise, he’s mostly a background villain: the equivalent to Giovanni in the Pokémon verse; to Sozin in AtLA; etc. etc. So again...not really the type to have any real kind of ship.
[ ORIGINAL CHARACTERS ]
[ Uchiha Tenkai (Sasu///Hina son)
Ship biases: Uzumaki Akane (kusunokihime) nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, panromantic / pansexual Established ships: None (selectively multiship) Tenkai has been written very little yet, but has hints of a future relationship with Akane in arc three of ALAS. The story only runs until they’re about 14, so no real room for a full-fledged ship. He’s part of the so-called “golden generation” (aka Boruto’s class), so anyone of that age range could have crushes, but...not much point in full ships with kids. That said, as a disclaimer: I don’t read / watch Boruto. But I don’t mind interacting with characters from it. Just know I know almost nothing about the story / characters. My muses will have to get to know yours from scratch. And as he exists in an AU ship, kids from ships that would “break” his parents can’t be written with him (aka Boruto, Himawari, or Sarada).
[ Uchiha Chikyū (Sasu///Hina daughter) ]
Ship biases: N/A nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, biromantic / demisexual Established ships: None (selectively multiship) Chikyū has no established ship in ALAS, and only reaches age 12 by default. So again, mostly just for crushes unless aged up. She’s a little...difficult to get along with, but it’s entirely possible to ship with chemistry.
[ Hyūga Higure ]
Ship biases: Uchiha Fugaku II (kusunokihime) nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, greysexual / heteroromantic Established ships: Fuga////Higu (kusunokihime) (selectively multiship) Higure is a very...special case. She’s by default paired with Fu II, and given her mental health, getting through to her isn’t easy, but...possible. She’s the same age as Mirai, but there’s very few characters in her age range.
[ Hyūga Hinode ]
Ship biases: Uchiha Reika (kusunokihime) nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis male, heterosexual / heteroromantic Established ships: HinoReika (kusunokihime) (selectively multiship) Hinode has an established ship in the verse, but honestly is very open to be shipped with otherwise. He’s a kind-hearted kid and I think would get along with most others pretty easily. He’s in the same year as Tenkai, aka Boruto’s year.
[ Uchiha Manami ]
Ship biases: OC NPC Uchiha Junichi, Fuga///Mana nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, biromantic / bisexual Established ships: Juni///Mana (selectively multiship) Manami, unlike her sister, was entirely accepting about her orientation, but also discreet about it due to clan politics. Though canonly slated to marry Fugaku, she broke it off to let her younger sister (who was in love with him) have her chance instead. Otherwise, she ends up with Shisui’s father, Junichi (Kagami’s son). But she’s honestly very shippable beyond that: could do an AU where she DOES marry Fugaku, or dates other people before / after / instead of her canon marriage to Junichi.
[ Hyūga Hanako ]
Ship biases: Hia///Hana nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, biromantic / demisexual Established ships: Hia///Hana (selectively multiship) Though married to Hiashi in canon, Hanako could be otherwise shipped...but it would mean either having no marriage and therefore no Hinata and Hanabi, or possibly just Hinata and being disgraced after divorcing Hiashi. Otherwise by default she’s married (and dies a few weeks after having Hanabi due to postpartum complications).
[ Hyūga Hotaru ] Ship biases: Hiza///Hota nOTPs: N/A Info: Cis female, heterosexual / heteroromantic Established ships: Hiza///Hota (highly selectively multiship) Honestly shipping with Hotaru would be VERY difficult. Though her marriage was mostly unhappy, it DOES end with Hizashi’s death. But I have a hard time seeing her marry anyone outside the Hyūga bloodline - she’s too traditional / proud to do so. It’d take a LOT to change her mind on that.
[ And that’s it! ALL the muses on this blog. Major props to anyone who read it all: honestly that’s amazing and I really appreciate it. But yeah, this is the rundown of all the muses and how I feel they can / can’t be shipped. I know this probably comes off as really picky, but again: the verses I write are very heavily plotted, and just...between that, and my views of these characters, it’s not an easy thing to ship them. I know that’s disappointing cuz shipping’s a big deal in RP, but...I won’t write something I myself can’t enjoy.
THAT BEING SAID, some DO still have wiggle room! And of course other kinds of bonds - family, platonic, enemies - are possibilities, too. I’d love to write something other than romance to see how these muses interact with others. Romance is just...a difficult thing for a lot of them.
Either way, thank you to anyone who respects these interpretations of these characters. To those who can’t...I hope you find other blog(s) who can give you what you want. But this is how THIS blog will be run. ]

People think they are doing their favorite writers a favour by insulting what they see as competition, when in reality I've only ever seen that aggressive behaviour directed towards writers with smaller followings. Ones whose work doesn't get picked up and passed around the popular ones and thus gets little traction on its own.
I have the same thing. My writing has always been passed over by popular blogs including ones that are mutuals. But if its not picked up its not picked up, that's it.
Other anon and any who engage in his behavior? You typically are defending popular blogs whose writing always gets lots of attention against smaller creators like us, who just put out the best work we can and hope those that do read it, like it.
Rubbing it in our faces isn't going to incentivize us to stop or to change what or how we right.
Its going to stop your own followers and mutuals to not want to pick up the pen in the first place. You're not doing the popular blogs a favour by insulting people whose only strike is not having popular writers share our work around.
You're scaring people out of even trying to write in the first place because this behavior scares them.
I think that's a good way to put it - and I agree. I think a lot of times, people are so focused on what it is they enjoy, that they want to help make that content front and center. Sometimes that means being the loudest voice in the room when it comes to talking something up. Other times it means sending hateful messages to anyone that disagrees, or that they feel isn't up to par.
And you know what? It's their right to dislike things. It's their right to favor things. It's their right to decide what they want to consume and when they want to consume it and how much they want to consume.
But what it's not OK for people to do is dictate what others enjoy or create. If I ever found out that someone that said they were a fan of my writing was trying to discourage others from enjoying or creating by being a cunt anonymously? I'd be ashamed. I'd do whatever it took to remove that person or those people from my circle, because doing that type of thing and saying or thinking it's for someone else? Disgusting.
I've seen a couple larger blogs get some shitty anons, but it definitely does seem like the smaller ones get it more often - probably because they're considered "easy" targets and won't have the same type of backup that the larger blogs with bigger followings would. I'm fortunate enough to have people in my corner and sticking up for me, but I definitely realize that it isn't the case for everyone - and can 100% understand why people choose to stop writing or posting or creating.
It's really disheartening.
I'm sorry that your work hasn't been picked up or spread as widely as you'd like it to. It's a shame when you put your heart and time and effort into something and then it doesn't gain traction, but I hope that you'll continue to write because you want to. All it takes is one reblog or one fic rec or one perfectly timed post to blow up a story or a chapter. (tumblr's notification system and tags do NO ONE any favors, either).
I can't blame people for choosing not to write and post their stuff after they see the kinds of messages that some authors on here get. Why would you want to open yourself up to that, especially if you're just starting, or writing in a second language or have very few connections? For a lot of people, the payoff doesn't seem worth it, and that's a shame.
Are there some super popular posts and stories that gained traction more because of the circles they got passed around in than because of the content? Of course. The same is true for movies and books - a lot of times, it's about who you know.
But when someone succeeds - and they do so because what they've put out is high quality, why attempt to cheapen their success or their happiness by comparing that work to someone else's? Is it really lifting someone up if you have to shove someone else into the dirt to do it? No. It isn't.
There is room for everyone in fandom. It doesn't need to be a competition. You do not need to 'clear out' the space so that your favorite authors can thrive, or so that you, yourself will stand out. Having a variety of content is better than having nothing - and if you don't like something or don't want to see it... just ignore it. Block someone. Block a tag. Skip over a post.
Just because something isn't for you doesn't mean that everyone else will feel the same way about it.

lmaooo. one of the things scrolling through your blog has taught me is that i definitely need to start listening to other girl k pop groups besides blackpink and itzy. any recs?
I would be more than happy to provide you with some recommendations! I'm going to recommend some of my favorite groups, and then I'll add some personalized recommendations since you listen to Blackpink and Itzy! 😀
I don't think I could recommend Dreamcatcher enough to anyone, but I'm usually pretty cautious in doing so. I'll be frank - if you're not a fan of rock music, you probably won't vibe with their title tracks and that's completely okay! I was raised on 80s rock so believe me when I say that I couldn't get enough of Dreamcatcher when I first got into them. I'd recommend listening to Fly High, Scream, or BEcause first - these title tracks are more non-stan friendly, meaning that they appeal to a larger audience than people who love and adore Dreamcatcher's music already.
Purple Kiss is an interesting case, at least to me. Although they only have four title tracks, it's pretty easy to see they have a certain duality to them. There's a more sensual and mysterious side of them that is explored through tracks like Ponzona and Memem, and then we have the side which can be best described as Monster High meets K-pop. That side includes tracks like Zombie and Nerdy, which are both of the ones that I would recommend to you!
PIXY is a lore-based group that surrounds the story of six fairies, who are represented by the members. I'll be honest- I'm not super familiar with the lore, but I do know that it has something to do with the fairies getting a pair of wings for a witch so they can have wings themselves. Their newest comeback may seem like a total 180 from their original concept, but there are definitely references to the lore that even I, someone who is not that into the lore, ended up getting. All of their title tracks - Wings, Let Me Know, Addicted, and Villain - are easy listens, which makes it easy to get into the group.
Aespa is a group that you've already probably heard a lot about, so I'll keep this section short. When I first listened to the group, I was a part of a select group that was like, "I did not know hyperpop was a thing, but man, do I really like it!" Girls and Black Mamba are my favorite tracks, plus the whole Savage mini album is worth a listen because of how good it is.
3ye is a group that I'd recommend to anyone who likes Blackpink. There's only three members in the group, so it's easy to get into the group. Their main concept is girl crush, although a lot of their fans refer to it as "woman crush" due to how strong their concept is. Stalker and Yessir are my favorite title tracks by far, and I'd give them a listen if you like girl crush songs!
Weki Meki are known for their teen crush concept, just like Itzy! Crush and Cool are two of their songs that are as teen crush as it gets, but songs like Picky Picky, Oopsy, and Dazzle Dazzle help push the borders of what teen crush truly is.
I hope my recommendations help you dive into the world of girl groups. Happy listening and exploring, anon! 💖

I'm often tagged/told to read/reblog fic by a popular author. I don't know her, but awhile ago I decided not to read/rec any of her fic because of her SM persona. I'd characterise her as the toxic fandom mean girl. I won't support someone who behaves like that, but I don't want to sow discord or be mean myself by telling anyone why I won't read/reblog her. It's getting more difficult because more people are asking why I "ignore" her fic. Do you have any advice? ~ it's the principle anon
Hey principle anon.
Sometimes I feel like there's this this whole scary undercurrent of activity going on around me on this site that I have zero clue about. I must live in my happy cave because generally all I see is support and encouragement for writers.
I am not so naive to think there aren't some mean-spirited bloggers or there haven't been meltdowns and blowups in the past, but they haven't really been about writing.
Anyway, my advice is simple. Your blog is curated by you, for you. Nobody can 'tell you' what to read, who to like, who to ignore. If someone is coming to you with a request to read/reblog or a fic rec, you can choose to engage or not. It's entirely up to you. There should be no coercing or intimidating or pressure.
You don't owe anyone an explanation or a reason for what you read or share. It's your space.
For some people, this site is an escape from a toxic life, so landing in the middle of petty squabbles or ugly spats would be horrible.
I know there are established relationships between writers and other bloggers, often seen as cliques, but that's just the way communities operate. There are writers I will reblog without even getting past the title because I love their writing. There are doubtless others I have never reblogged and am unaware of, or their fic just hasn't resonated for some reason. And there's no way I'm the only one like that.
For me, if I'm tagged, I'll generally always reblog. But even that shouldn't be a given; a tag to me is a way of someone saying, 'hey I wrote this, read it if you like' not 'you must read this or burn on a million suns (thanks The Good Place😊).
I think there's a very human tendency for us to think that everybody else works like we do, but that's not the case. You think you've said something out of line or done something to upset someone, but the truth is usually much more mundane. We forget people have busy lives, that there are timezones at play, that there are personal squicks and triggers and tastes. When I think s blogger is ignoring my fic, I try to remind myself they most likely aren't into it or they haven't seen it, and I truly hope it's not because of me, personally. (Sorry for anything awful I've said or done, yikes).
You do you, lovely. Let others fester in the mire of SM toxicity, if they feel so inclined.
Thanks for swinging by. ����
