I don't get why some people refuse to accept that Louis was abused. Him having been a victim to Lestat doesn't negate his grief. He's clearly still grieving Claudia, and from what we can tell of S2, we WILL see that too. No one is saying he's a saint either - he did fail Claudia. Him being a victim doesn't overshadow his grief or make him a saint.

And as you said, this isn't just some cheap story of abuse for shock value either. I wrote a whole wall of text about the complexities and layers of the abuse here but that would have been too long of an ask ajdhwj. Basically, there's the race aspect (which converses with the other aspects), there's that Louis couldn't leave him for many, many reasons, there's the emotional aspect, there's the power aspect (in more than one way)... I'm probably missing something, but this is very good portrayal of abuse and also something that happens irl.

This is also something that loustat will have to touch on in the future and will make for a very interesting story (again, as you said).

His arc is different in the book because the show has a different version of Louis with added struggles that book Louis didn't have (mostly due to his race and era, but also the dynamic that is shown with him and Lestat, if I remember the book correctly - partly also due to the former). Grief is still a part of his story, though.

Sorry for the long ask, it's just that reading that really made me go "??"

thank u for all of this!! I am not ignoring all u wrote but I wanted to elaborate on one point specifically tho and it's gonna be long. thank u for everything u wrote in full tho, I appreciate it. "I don't get why some people refuse to accept that Louis was abused."

they did it when he was white. it's because he's black now and lestat remains white. the vampires mention shit like slavery outright to each other when it's all white ppl, but it suddenly holds a LOT more weight once u make the "fledgling" a black person. AMC has done nothing but enhance what was already there, ppl just don't want to empathize with a black man.

anne rice fans are not critical thinkers but they like to think they are because they're proud they read a lot of books at prbly young ages. books they felt were rly "adult" and "mature." they've never grown up and taken a second look. anne rice's encouragement of parasocial relationships made that worse too. most of these ppl can't separate themselves from these characters and now feel bad seeing themes brought more to the surface about these relationships. they have to blame the writers and keep looking stupid instead of getting some self-awareness.

I know the fight does not happen in the books but I've seen enough passages from book IWTV to know physical and emotional violence between louis and lestat is v common. I've seen parts of lestat's books too where he's also violent to other partners. it's in the character, they've just been too busy wanting to fuck him the whole time to notice ig. that's what it is too. lots of this before the show was a sexy game to ppl and now they're mad u have to think about the story and consequences for things so much, mainly in ways that interfere with lighthearted shipping stuff. anne rice didn't ever talk about anything in depth so they're used to having awareness of topics but never exploring them. they feel stupid in many, many ways now and somehow that's everyone's fault but their own. it's practically *two years in* and they're still doing all this instead of doing some self-reflection. they keep reapplying the clown paint and then want to say it's ppl like me "ruining" it for others here like that's even remotely true lol.

anyways, u are welcome to visit my inbox any time and write whatever u want on this btw! I'd luv to hear it all.

Hi hi!

For the lovely good omens ask game :D

Queen ~ turtleneck ~ fly ~ bathtub

hello ❤️

thank you for distracting me from not being able to get into writing a fic, it's a nice break!

Queen - top 5 favorite bands/artists

it's always a difficult question for me because i usually find myself more drawn to songs than everything from the artists! but looking through what i've been listening to most often lately, i'd say it's måneskin, aurora, scene queen, the wombats and froukje (who really surprised my, because i was simply looking for something in dutch to practice my skills but i do enjoy her quite a bit)

turtleneck - show us (or draw) your hottest outfit

can't draw and most of my photos are sadly not really showing much of my outfits but i can show y'all that time i randomly went for emo clown aesthetic on accident lol

fly - tell us a secret. shh it's okay we won't tell anyone (except all of tumblr)

alright, so how much do i want to embarass myself?

i didn't realize i had a hazelnut allergy for, uh, let's just say way more than 20 years of my life. i just thought it was normal for them to burn your throat as you eat??

i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, alright

bathtub - if you could get away with murder only once, would you use that chance to take out someone? who?

oh, there are too many candidates

(kidding)

(mostly)

no, probably i'd go for someone really terrible, like my aunt's extremely abusive ex?

the /funny/ answer is my promotor so i wouldn't have to finish my masters thesis 👀

or i'd just love to kill my adhd. it's a true asshole.

if you'd like to distract me as well, my askbox is always open!

[fic--writer]

This might be too silly for a nsfw fic, But please tell me that tav in your lollipop fic failed her slight of hand check and accidentally dropped the cady (which she was boldly teasing him with) down her cleavage like a fucking clown!

Caught off guard with the gross sensation of the sticky candy, almost failed to dodge/grab Rolan lunging hands trying to dig it out in his drug like candy deprived frenzy, forgetting all common sense. with no success bc of tavs quick reflexes, buries his face in her boobs as a last resort trying to suck it out or something idk

Making tav even more surprised/appalled as to how bad this candy addiction really is, that he would resort to such degenerate actions. Making it impossible for her not to laugh while trying to peel his stupid face off her.

After he successfully gets his candy back, his senses return as well and he is so confused and embarrassed, finally realizing his actions…

Like this Is some dumb anime type shit I’m so sorry

And I guess they shag, and Rolan finally goes to magic candy rehab or somthin and they lived happily ever after lol

Dear Anon, thank you for your thoughts. I laughed while reading it. Actually, I'm still working on chapter 2, and I have ideas, mostly of a sfw nature ("bullying" Rolan can be done in many ways 😈) that I want to include in the fanfic.

But yes, there will definitely be scenes of shame due to bad addiction. and the scene you suggested I think would complement the story nicely.

Addictions are scary. 🤣 Even if you are an Archmage.

*Especially if you're an Archmage.

I'd love to hear what else you'd have Rolan do with the tool of pressure on him. Besides vulgarities, what would be most out of character for him?

[eldritch-spouse]

i have just spent the past, i think, 5-8 hours looking through various posts and tags on your blog and I just have to say right now I am fucking enRAPTURED by all of this! All the characters are so so so interesting in so many ways and also so damn HOT???? And even if im not a woman, the writing you do is still so enjoyable and the way you write the 'reader' is always so interesting and fun! So many of these fuckers make me absolutely blind to the color red I am just FROTHING at the mouth here i will say.....vinnel is a fav, i am a clown fucker who fucking adores weird creepy dolls and body horror so he'd go oh yeah mine now and id sit there after being dressed up staring at his collection of dolls like OH!!! tell me about this one!!! and if he called me his pin cushion I think i'd kick my feet like I was reading something cute, even IF i'd start crying the moment im in pain (i do cry pretty easily, low pain tolerance) ALL THAT TO SAY, your work is brilliant and your art is AMAZING, thank you 4 sharing ur creations here, blowing u a kiss and hoping ur day/night has been well!

HOT DAMN- 5 hours? You'll make me blush here. <:Y

I'm always happy to hear people enjoy stuff here! Whether these fools make you laugh, seethe or blush, I count it as a win.

The gender of the reader is relevant to me mostly only for smut purposes, as I don't really like writing anatomy with gender neutral terms, takes away from the fun. For other instances, it's usually a secondary aspect that can be totally ignored.

In all honesty, crying easily can be very beneficial to you when dealing with Vinnel. He may not have to resort to very painful methods to get the same delightful reactions out of you, which means less general harm in many circumstances.

Likewise, have a nice time! :7

[decepti-thots]

re: meta again. first, thank you for the long answer! you have a lot of interesting points, e.g. how fandom spaces influence how you interact with media: my first fandom space was restricted to teenagers who mostly knew nothing about media analysis (and it was also animanga haha), and then I moved onto tumblr, where - in my memory - most users were slightly older teenagers but still didn't know much about media analysis. there probably was meta somewhere (apparently on LJ?), but I didn't see (or notice?) a lot of it. which possibly also was because I changed fandoms a lot more quickly, and I feel like many others did, too. there's a book fandom where five years ago, the general sentiment about an antagonist was 'well fuck him' and now people write extensive posts on why he did what and what that means for the story and why it mirrors the protagonists arc etc, which maybe means that sometimes fandoms need time to get past the initial excitement of new things to give more attention/time to meta?

I very much agree that tumblr makes interactions/discussions harder. especially re: reblogs - its so easy for someone to disagree with you in a reblog and some of their followers to take that as a hint to hate on you - I've seen this happen mostly related to "shipping the wrong things", but why wouldn't it happen for drawing the "wrong" conclusions in a meta post? I feel like the general tumblr user is older than they were 10 years ago so maybe I should hope that they've grown up as well and are more reasonable about this to be fair

what I also noticed regarding the book fandom and TF is that TF fans - depending on your specific bubble probably - seem to be more aware that writing meta is a thing, because they're more likely to call it that.

re: elitism - it's important to me that the things I was referring to can feel elitist, not that they are, if the distiction makes sense? maybe it also wasn't the best/fairest choice of words, sorry. the sentiment isn't meant towards e.g. the people complaining about headcanons that have become accepted in the fandom but have zero relation to canon. its more frustration that theres seemingly infinite canon material and you can't really join any conversation without interacting with a good chunk of it, while (seemingly) everyone else has already done that already.

and finally, wonder if part of who writes meta and who doesn't is fandom "socialization"; there seem to be a few people for whom it appears easy to express their thoughts online, and then a much larger amount of lurkers who don't, and I've never really figured out the cause.

god tumblr does really let me put as much text as I want here, I'm a bit sorry for the long message. If you have any further thoughts I'd be happy to hear them but no pressure

First of all: no apologies for the long message! I love it, I will put my thoughts under a cut for everyone's dashes but we LOVE an in depth fandom meta-meta discussion in this household. I started this blog to RAMBLE and rambling is WELCOME my friend.

You make an EXCELLENT point about how longevity can influence fandoms here, anon. Especially for fandoms where there isn't a constant drip-feed of NEW canon, I absolutely think fandoms living on and people going back and re-engaging the source material to look for new ways to engage it can gradually make meta a larger part of the fannish space sometimes. (To give my own book fandom example, I was on the periphery of book!Good Omens fandom back in the day, and the amount of time people had spent with just that one single book meant that more and more discussion of the ways you could read and work with that one book meant there was some very in-depth meta going on there.) (…as you can imagine, the last few years have been a hell of a wild time for me with the show fandom becoming the Hot New Major Fandom, LMAOOOO.)

There's definitely also something there about the old "if someone I follow clowns on a person, my (para)social relationship with them means I feel like I'm doing a social faux-pas by not choosing a side" you mention here too. Tumblr really makes visible the idea of social networks in a way I have to admit I overall find uhhh. Kind of not great. "If I follow someone who follows someone my mutual hates, do I need to perform my support of someone here", that kind of thing. (Answer: no, that is some Panopticon shit, bring in the Foucault. I am only half joking.) Even over an objectively inane Transformers headcanon take, it's the social mechanism more than the content that brings in the pressure I think. Again. Web 2.0 wants everything pushed at everyone all the time to encourage More Interaction, and reducing any sense of wider social circles being removed from you personally is a part of that I think. It's all equal on The Endless Timeline, innit.

I see what you mean about the "feels like" distinction on elitism, anon, now you lay that out- that makes sense. I do think TF fandom is sometimes a bit of a minefield in terms of like, even within certain subdivisions of canon there's so MUCH stuff (and the fandom has, IMO, a bad habit of not bothering to decide what is more or less "useful" in conversations; sometimes tertiary material is… you know. Tertiary. LOOKING AT ALIGNED FANDOM). I think those of us who are sometimes a bit more "canon completionist" do need to approach these things in terms of like- take IDW1 fandom. If someone posts meta about MTMTE based on just material from MTMTE, approaching that in good faith and not going "well it's in continuity with phase one, and THIS phase one comic says [xyz]", but instead seeing it as a perspective that takes that one text as a complete thing in itself? (And maybe considering how that perspective and how it differs from one which looks at the whoooole canon is interesting, rather than deficient, in its differences of opinion.) There are folks who get very snotty about people doing that in a way that is, at the very least, unproductive. (And the folks bringing in their Extensive Lore Knowledge TM by whining stuff from other continuities contradicts a take on a different continuity are just uhhh. Annoying. Those people can just Stop, Please, lmao.) I think understanding that different approaches to what "canon" even is can be interesting rather than something to be "corrected" might go some way to making it feel less… intimidating? Alienating? For folks working with what they like.

As for the confidence in sharing opinions thing… I can only speak for myself but uh. If I have a personal flaw it is unwarranted overconfidence, not insecurity, haha. Let me put it that way. I do think that cultivating a confidence in the idea "I have my own personal tastes, and those tastes are idiosyncratic and do not need to be compared to other peoples' taste, and they are Valid TM" is a skill to be honed and one I think is worth honing, and I think may be a big thing here from my anecdotal observations. I find that many people in fandom don't have a lot of confidence in the idea that you can express not just an argument for "objective" (lol) "quality" but a sense of personal taste? (This is not unique to fandom, at all, but I think fandom has a lot of it, if that makes sense.) Especially because often the things fandom centres around lack cultural prestige. It's why an appeal to being Real Literature TM is the go-to argument for why fanfiction is "acceptable". I think a similar thing can be true of opinions; to let go of the urge to have everyone agree with you 100% of the time and to be "proven" right, you have to feel confident enough to sit in subjectivity and be like. My opinions may be subjective, but that's fine. And you do have to cultivate that! But I think that's where the "I can express an opinion and not feel destroyed if someone flat out rejects it and I can't even disprove their argument" trick kinda lies, maybe. And maybe meta is easier if you've already internalized that, so the possibility people will be like "nope" is less scary?

30 Day HypMic Challenge!

Double post today! Because I wasn't gonna be left behind~

DAY 7: CHARACTER YOU RELATE TO THE MOST/FAVOURITE CHARACTER EVER

🎭 NURUDE SASARA

There's two clauses to this day and Sasara kind of fits both, but mostly he goes here because he's my absolute favourite character in HypMic alongside Ramuda. But I do relate to this bad boi a bit, because if you couldn't tell, clowns who clown together stick together. :)

It took me forever to actually pick a favourite character in HypMic, because there's so many, and because I'm just kind of like that. Takes me a while to commit. :kekw:

And even when I did pick, I couldn't fully settle on one, because as I said, Sasara does share the spot with Ramuda. But I guess they're my favourites for some of the same reasons, but some different ones.

I remember liking Sasara as soon as I met him while listening to the drama tracks. I knew all of the characters already, but when I got to the DotsuHon track, I had never seen Sasara in action yet, I'd just read something off of the wiki and seen pictures of him. I had no strong opinions.

But oh boy was I about to have them.

I just loved him. I didn't expect him to be so smart and clever right off the bat. I was absolutely not expecting to perceive his depth so quickly, even through his usual funny and lighthearted persona. He immediately spoke to me, and I knew I was dealing with one that was going to become one of my favourite characters ever, not just in HypMic. My ult bias, if you will. *wink* (Sasara sits at the same table as Han Jisung in my brain. They should both feel honoured.)

Not to mention that he's, just, hot. Like, LOOK AT THE MAN. I know the orange matched with the green hair is a bit controversial but STILL the idea of a very polished looking outfit but in funky colours and with a silly pattern just feels perfectly in tune with his personality. It fits him! And that also means I get to salivate over him when they choose to remove his jacket in ARB cards. (Looking at you latest event - I was a mess for days.)

Obviously, knowing me, number 1 gay person and BL fan, my favourite character couldn't not be a gay little shit as well. That is something we have in common a stupid amount: both Sasara and I are gay disasters. We would have so much fun simping over men together while drinking tea. Also it is so hilarious that Sasara has such a fixed type in men I swear to god, the Rosho/MCD Samatoki parallels have me cackling every time. This man really replaced his ex he couldn't get over with basically the same guy but in white cum patate. Iconic move. For the history books.

Also, is anyone surprised that my favourite character is once again an ENTP fuckboy? No, I know. No one is. But birds of a feather come together, I guess, because I also am an ENTP fuckboy. :) I wasn't always - I guess this little bastard influenced me, together with some other assholes like Vanitas or Dazai or who knows who else. There's always one.

Should I cut the Sasara ramble short? Maybe. Maybe I should. Thanks to those who stuck around. Stan DotsuHon, stan Sasara. Ship SasaRosho. Peace out xoxo

[satanicsanity]

I am kind of ranting a bit, so.. If you're not feeling very happy right now I'd suggest skipping this post because I'm a bit upset myself over this.

It's genuinely upsetting me that after what has happened with the welcome home Fandom, that folks(mostly on tiktok from what I've seen) are already calling the entire welcome home Fandom toxic. Now this is in no way me trying to say what "those fans" have done wasn't bad, it was, it was terrible and disrespectful.. But this is a pattern i see in so many Fandoms.

An issue comes around thanks to people not knowing how to respect boundaries or rules, and it makes the entire Fandom seem toxic, leading for folks to believe the entire Fandom is like this.. When it's not. The fans of welcome home I've met here on tumbler, and a good section of them on tiktok, are some of the sweetest people I've ever met. They, like mostly all of us, are just trying to make silly fun content related to welcome home, and support it, while of course respecting clown's boundaries.

But since to what has happened, which is still having me worried over if clown is alright and i genuinely hope they're alright, people are already starting to assume the entire welcome home Fandom is doing these things and disrespecting clown. Not to mention the rumors being spread and blowing things out of proportion, not to say that what happened wasn't already terrible, but people are making it seem worse to the point people were saying clown was doxxed. And I'll admit, they had me fooled that clown was

Again this is not to be disrespectful, or sound insensitive or inconsiderate. That's not my intention at all. I'm just so genuinely disappointed that something horrible such as that can happen, and it makes everyone assume the entire community is this way. And I'm not coming after those people saying that they're naieve or stupid, i understand why they would think that the WH Fandom is after what's gone on. But it's unfortunate.. I hope that welcomehome can get a supportive structured Fandom built back up, and i deeply hope that clown is okay. We don't want clown to feel unsafe or ill about/over their own creation.

If this comes across wrong, I'm sorry, I'm not the best with words. Much love to you all.. Please stay safe 🩷🩷🩷

[thebigbidea]

I've vaguely mentioned her in a previous post but here's my Welcome Home OC/ Self-C. Her name is Emira. Emira Eagerly. Emi for short. Alike me, she uses all pronouns, (she/he/they), and is genderfluid. Oh! And after realizing her design was alike the Joyfuls, i decided she'd be related to them somehow. Like, first cousin once removed, maybe?.

Anygay, this is just an art/info dump to get her out there, i didn't feel like curating a post to get likes, so yuh.

I'll be using she/her pronouns for Emi only so it doesn't get confusing xd // the green text is kinda like the words i exaggerated while theoretically talking

Here's my first real sketches of her <33

Ignore the crappy Julie drawing lmao. I made a poopy mini comic about Emi getting a haircut.

I do heavily multiship WH characters. Mostly me multishipping Wally x Julie, Julie x Sally, and Wally having a crush on Eddie (the other characters i ship aren't multiships, just regular ones like Poppy x Howdy and Frank x Eddie). This is all to say that i also multiship Wally alot. And so, i both hc him as pan and ship him with my own OC (and some other peoples' OCs that are really cute). I also hc Wally as having a bit of a preference to guys, sooo, when Emi cut her hair, Wals was like awooga.

And yea, that's basically what the mini comic was. Emi cut her hair and this caused Wally to start crushing a little.

Colored!!

I think atp i did figure out that i wanted Emi to be a fashion designer/ seamstress.

Other outfits!! Yippie!! - I really love the party outfit. The shoes, ahhg! I wish they really existed.

Hehe, lil (crappy) sktech :·)

Oh yeah, i kind of had the idea of Wally drawing out the patterns for Emira when she was overwhelmed with ideas and didn't know where to start on an outfit. She'd just waffle about her ideas with Wally. Probably assumed he was drawing an apple or something, but oh? What's this? You drew a whole template for the dress i was rambling on and on about!! Thank you, Wally!

Her house :·)

AHHHH i love this drawing!!! Em and Emi, Emira and Emira, she and he, they and they, idc how to describe it, just.. genderfluidness!? And also, the outfits!! I just loved drawing them, I'd hella wear them irl. Especially the belt. I wish i had that 1970s belt irl!! I also loveee how she has longer hair and shorter at some point, meaning i can basically give her any hairstyle i want in my art!! It doesn't have to be consistent (unless it's a comic) - :·)) // this took me about 3hrs. And i barely took any breaks, that's how much i enjoyed drawing her!! Ahhh!!!

I was just looking through Pinterest and got the inspiration!! Well no, not just that. I failed to mention b4 that I'd like to think in the WH Halloween special, Emi attempted to dress up as a biblically accurate angle.. but it scared the kids tm (not actually, it mostly scared Frank) so she changed!! Her alternative costume was a clown!!. - And while, no, i didn't draw her as a biblically accurate angle, i did still make her an angle!! :·)

I do like this drawing, butttt my original sketch was way more expressive than this one. My second sketch was definitely more stiff, however i still went with it bc the first sketch was kinda wonky when flipped. Whoopies!!

//

Now i can ramble about Emi wayyyy more. I have so many more headcannons, comics, and crappy little drawing not shown here but this post is getting to long!! Buh bye, now loves <33!!!

[gilly-bean]

8 shows to get to know me

Thanks @kyr-kun-chan for the tag it took me some time trying to really think these through but this was a lot of fun!

1. A tale of thousand stars

Atots has to be on this list because it was the first BL that I really really loved and the first thing that got me commenting and not just lurking on this hellsite. There was something really moving about this show, how tender and careful the love was, how fulfilling Tian's journey to self-discovery was- I'd never seen anything quite like it before. This is also why Earth and Mix will forever be one of my favorite pairings ever and I will watch them on anything.

2. I told sunset about you

I told sunset about you was like a transforming experience to me. It's hard to capture it now but watching it the first time I felt like I was a teenager again, I felt those same butterflies, the same anxiety, the same shitty feelings you feel when it's difficult cos you're in love but you don't really understand it and it makes everything awful and beautiful. Itsay made me write and actually post my writing on ao3 for the first time ever that's how much it meant to me.

3. Bad Buddy

I love Bad Buddy, I was obsessed with Bad Buddy, I did nothing else but think about what was going to happen on Bad Buddy for 12 weeks when it was airing, I wrote like a 35k long fantasy au fic about Bad Buddy cos I was so obsessed with it. But what makes Bad Buddy so important to me is the friends I made along the way while watching it- the clown server was my first proper fandom experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

4. Last of Us 

The one thing you should know about me is the fact that nothing gets me going like stories about familial love. If I'm not watching the gays falling in love in a million different ways, I'm watching a show about family. Which is why Last of Us has to be here. Not only is it genuinely a brilliant show, it has all the things I love in it- horror, queer love, a parent destroying the world for their child- yeah I'm all in. And the games were fucking awesome.

5. Succession

Succession is on this list to demonstrate how much I love shows about families. If the Last Of Us is about the lenghts you would go to protect those you love, I think Succession is the opposite- it's about how far you can go in destroying the people you love, how much damage you can do precisely because you love. The characters are all genuinely terrible people and yet they make me feel things cos it's family and family fucks you up. Also it's incredibly funny. Mostly it's incredibly funny. The only thing funnier than the show is Jeremy Strong saying that it's not a comedy.

6. Shameless US

Shameless has to be here because of how much Mickey and Ian meant to me. I think they were the first proper canon queer couple on a show that I actual liked. Season 4 and 5 remain legendary. Mickey still owns the best coming out scene in tv history. And Shameless fundamentally was about family and the relationships between all the siblings were so dear to me. It all felt so familiar and comforting despite no because of the chaos.

7. SKAM 

SKAM has to be here since I truly do not know another series that occupied my brain quite like this one. Not only were the stories so good, the format where clips and texts and photos could drop at any minute made me insane. I was Isak staying up all night. I was him waiting for that text or celebrating that picture that let me know everything was alright. That feeling can't be recreated but I'm so grateful I got to be there for it. Once in a lifetime.

8. Moomins

This is really hard. There's so many shows I love so much but it's really difficult to think what would say the most about me, what has had the most meaning. I ended up choosing the Moomins because that was my favorite series when growing up and it still kinda is. Those silly little characters embody to me what it's like being Finnish and the wave of nostalgia I get from it has everything to do with the sense of place it has. Moomins are home to me.

That was legit so fun. I'm tagging wifeys @elnotwoods and @liyazaki just because I really need to know what those shows are for you even though we've talked about it a lot. No pressure but you know 🥹🙏

[ignitesthestxrs]

DFGHJHGFDFLKJHGHJ OMFG I'M.

i have had Realizations about myself almost two years ago now, and i've just listened to intro persona for the first time in a hot minute and. in retrospect it seems fairly obvious to me that the reason i got so obsessed with it at the time, very much unbeknownst to me, was i had pretty strong trans feelings about it. i feel like the biggest clown to have ever clowned.

(btw you don't know you were but! thank you for having being this long time lurker's sponsor in my big scary gender crisis!! mighty kind of you to have always spent so much time fairygodmothering queer babies that i reflexively just ran to your tumblr/twitter when i got my Oh Wait What Oh No???? moment.

and then i naturally landed on em's twitter. and because you guys were like high scholars of all things parasocial relationships, and also because i never understood twitter etiquette anyway, i didn't think i had any way that wasn't insane and inappropriate to burst down their door like

''HOWDY not only do you not know me but i don't know you either!! i am but a humble once removed follower through hannah and have been for a few years now. anyway i just wanted to extend my thanks for i just spent 6 hours scrolling through your uh everything, and believe i got my gender transed in the process. very exciting, much obliged. congratulations on your truly excellent gender, i hope you get everything you want from life.''

so i'm dumping this on you now instead apparently???? i really don't know how i got here, can't emphasize enough how much that was not my plan. i have been wanting to say you really helped me and i'm very grateful for a long time but, not like that probably?? except due to who i am as a person i'm not sure i'd have done it at all if i had tried to do it any other way. feels appropriate that it happened after i introduced myself as a clown, doesn't it.

anyway, past!you (and em!!) were the best and coolest fairy godparents in my phone a sort-of-kind-of-guy who was still too freaked out and panicky to try to talk about my crisis to any living person could have hoped for, and i was and still am very relieved that i had all your archived wisdom to turn to in my moment of need. thank you <333)

right! so my baby self had zero thoughts about the fact that a song about identity as a construct and a performance Did so many things to me! head fully empty!! isn't is wild the things you can learn later on in life with the power of insight. wow! partly embarrassing, mostly hilarious if you ask me.

sorry this was 3000x longer than it needed to be, thank you for your time, byeeeeee.

ANON my heart this was such a lovely message to receive thank you for reaching out and sharing ❤️ it is genuinely always so touching to encounter those moments when it turns out your shouting into the void was reaching other people bobbing around out there and helped throw them a lifeline

also like, congrats on transing your gender bud, i am proud and impressed and so glad you had that moment and were able to work through all the panicky and freak out to rest in a place that is good and right for you. that is the shit you deserve! you did a great job!

and i maintain that any life event you come out the other side going 'partly embarrassing, mostly hilarious' is a life event worth having. the ability of people to synthesise experiences that are like, reflective of deep stress or anxiety into something that is Very Funny afterwards is one of my favourite things about people, and also just one of my favourite things about living a life. sometimes the joy is in looking at yourself 5, 10 years ago and going 'aw, bless'.

anywayanyway i also maintain that persona is one of the best things that namjoon has done so like, congrats also on your baby queer taste anon, that song kicked ass ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you the absolute best buddy, thank u for writing

European city asks! Budpest, Moscow and Naples?

budapest: if you could do anything and not have to face the consequences, what would you do?

Either make up my own Fight Club where I can beat ppl up and they me in turn, recreate the Wanted movie (or at least be like the protagonist and pull off their badass moves), or egg my great aunt's house and take back the stuff that was either mine or my grandma's

Yeah, I'm lowkey evil at times hehe!

moscow: would you rather perform in a circus or an opera?

Can I choose both for this?? Cuz Imma choose both!

Mostly cuz I LOVE singing, I especially want to try opera one day and I love the circus and it's aesthetic (minus the animal cruelty)

So I'd love to be an opera singing clown if that's possible!

naples: if you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go and for how long?

Man this one is so hard to choose cuz I have so many dream places I wanna go to!!

It would either be Japan for at least 6 months, Amsterdam for a holiday or so (like over Christmas), or I'd like to go to either Disneyland again or Universal Studios for at least a couple weeks!

------------------------------------------------

Thank you so much sending this in, it was so much fun!

I hope I see you here again and have an awesome day!!

@disneyanddisneyships forgivemeifitsnotverygood

Stolas: we're Loreley's... friends.

Loreley: Yeah but we're not that close.

Stolas: Ofcourse we are, Lor! We all have so much fun together!

Loreley: I'd say go to hell, but I figured your asses are THREE RINGS DOWN FROM HERE.

Stolas: Such a compliment, lorey!

Loreley: Call me that one more time or I'll tell Blitz--

Stolas: I was just kidding, my good friend!

Loreley: Thought so. Anyway, Stolas, these are my friends.. human, friends.

Deena: Actually I'm not

Loreley: ...except for that one. She's a fish. No, a snake. A fish-snake. An eel.

Deena: I prefer the term "siren"

Loreley: Whatever. So that one over there's Deena, and the other one's Ali-

Alruna: YOU SKIPPED ME!

Loreley: They know you already.

Stolas: Oh, yes I know! Her name's.. Lagoona!

Alruna: It's Alruna, birdie!

Loona: I like her.

Alruna: Thanks! Um, cool shirt by the way!

Loona: :)

Hope: oh my god- Papa look! She's like an owl girl!

Octavia: who- me?

Hope: yep! What's your name?

Octavia: Oh, um. Octavia.

Hope: Hi Octavia! Wow! Are these real feathers? That's really nice.

Octavia: You think this is a costume or some shit?

Hope: I thought you guys were clowns. Or.. mascots.

Stolas: Clowns? Oh, my good friend Blitzy here used to be a circus performer!

Blitzo: Get your fucking hands off me, Stolas- And that was a long time ago!

Stolas: oh, but I really liked your horse with no legs..

Blitzo: Yeah whatever it was stupid.

Ella: Are you two... like.. together, together?

Blitzo: What?! No!

Ella: Oh.. you guys sure?

Blitzo: I'm sure, princess. and where the fuck did that even come from anyway?

Ella: It's just.. you were blushing when he told you he liked the hor-

Blitzo: Oh, no no no no that wasn't a blush! It's- it's- I'm a demon! I'm red all over! Well, mostly, but I was ANYTHING BUT BLUSHING!

Stolas: Why so defensive, Blitzy? ;)

Ella: Uh..

Loreley: One of these days I'm going to kill them both.

Octavia: .....

Hope: Papa! Can we keep her?

Alistar: I.. I'm not sure, honey. She already has a dad.

Hope: Oh, but can they live here?

Alistar: Um- they live somewhere else. Like where Lor used to live.

Hope: Oh.

Isaac: *holds her hand* I love how enthusiastic you are..

Hope: *blushes*

Alistar: hey hey save the love fest for later, we have guests.

Hope: But those two are flirting. *points at Blitz and Stolas*

Alistar: Aha- um.

Hope: They're making sex jokes.

Alistar: Hon I know you're 18 but-

Hope: THEY'RE BLUSHING

Alistar: Hop-

Hope: AUNT ELLA IS TRYING TO CALM THEM DOWN

Octavia: That's another tuesday for me.

Hope: Hey, where's your mom?

Octavia: *looks at her father sadly then back to Hope.* God-knows-where.. Not like she'd bother to tell us.

Hope: Wait, but then this would mean that uh.. your dad's cheating?

Octavia: My parents never really loved each other.

Alistar: *perks his head up*

Octavia: I swear to fuck I'd spend my whole childhood listening to them scream at each other.

Alistar: Oh..

Octavia: at some point I felt like dad hates her more than he loved me, but..

Alistar: Octavia...

Octavia: Well, but he's.. trying to be there for me. He makes it up for me sometimes..

Stolas: You know all I wanted was for you to have a normal life.. that's why I've always stayed and endured your mother's humiliation. I- I'm sorry, my little owlette.

Alistar: *looks down in sadness*

Rosalyn: *squeezes his hand*

Ella, walking towards them: Wow thank Hades you guys cut the flirting off, it was getting out of hand!

Eve: Guys I made cupcakes!

Blitzo: *perks his head up* Oh thank fucking god I was starving! *takes half of the cupcakes* Thaaank you!

Eve: Blitz? Long time no see!

Blitzo: HOLY SHIT EVANGELINE IS THAT YOU?!

Eve: Yep! I've grown pretty taller haven't I?

Blitzo: Yes I figured since the last time I saw you you were literally 7 but yeah, you did.

Eve: *laughs*

Blitzo: Holy fuck how many vegetables and milk did this fiery bitch feed you?

Hope: You know him?

Eve: Yes. I was raised by Loreley, and I got to know some of her friends. *leans into Hope* He was my favorite.

Hope: Oh! Why didn't you tell us?

Eve: I was 7, and I don't have that much memories of them. After he burnt a kitchen down trying to teach me how to bake in the underworld.. you could say Loreley filed the first restraining order in history. She actually didn't, but.. yeah. That's all I remember.

Mia: *laughs* EVE BURNING THE KITCHEN DOWN?

Eve: Technically it was Blitz.

Alruna: Odd since your acting mother on paper, probably, is the one WHO ALMOST BURNT MY TENT DOWN!

Stolas: Okay, everyone. Stop fighting.. we're here because we wanted to spend the day here in your kingdom! I hope that's okay?

Ella: Ofcourse, Stolas!

Stolas: *bows* Thank you, your majesty.

Blitzo: You dumbass SHE BOWS TO YOU.

Ella: Actually it's curtsy-

Blitzo: Oh, who the fuck cares what it's called- ohhh shit who the fuck is this giant?!

Elias: ,:)

Eve: Oh, you don't remember Eli?

Blitzo: Eli.. Eli.. Eli- GOD EVANGELINE THAT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO OFCOURSE I DON'T!

Eve: Oh, then that's my cousin, Elias, preferred to be called Eli. My cousin.

Blitzo: HOW MUCH FUCKING MILK DID THIS FUCKER DOWN?!

Eli: um..

Ella: he's also my husband, so I suppose he get a little respect?

Blitzo: HE'S YOUR HUSBAND?! HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THIS HELLUVA LARGE ASS DICK?!

Ella: Flexibility.

Eli: O///_ ///O

Isaac: uh.. I did not need to hear that, mom.

Blitzo: AND YOU HAVE A KID?!

Emily: Two kids.

Blitzo: I'D SAY I DON'T ADMIRE YOU, LADY. BUT I'D BE LYING!

Ella: Well..

Mia: I think that's enough, Blitz.

Stolas: She's right, Blitzy. How about we go ahead and cool down for a bit? *traces his finger down Blitz' neck*

Rosalyn: Thank God Asher's still napping.

Hope: I think I'll go to my room..

Loona: I'll come with you.

Octavia: Yeah same.

Hope: Great! Haha!

Isaac and Emily: Don't leave us!

Alistar: It's best if you kids all go into your rooms.

Hope: *nods* *holds Isaac's hand and leaves with the others* Bye dad!

Alistar: ...

Rosalyn: Amor, I know how you feel about Hope having a romantic relationship. But, she's growing up. She's not gonna be her daddy's little princess forever. Just like how Ella was, remember?

Alistar: Yeah, but.. it feels like one second I'm holding her as a newborn baby, and now she's.. holding out her arms to another boy.

Rosalyn: I know, mi vida. Isaac is a good boy. I know my sunshine's in good hands.

Alistar: Yeah, he better be.

Ella: Oh, he is! If he ever breaks her heart I'd have no hesitation but to teach him a lesson, don't worry.

Alistar: Hm, yeah.

Stolas: Oh, I'll never be able to imagine my Via having someone! If I'd ever have such a thought I.. ofcourse if she's happy, but she.. she keeps on growing and I- I wish I could stop the time to make up for the things I've done. The neglect I put her through..

Alistar: You remind me of my mother. She too was in the same position as you... my father would sleep around while she has to carry children who would.. not make it. She had 6 babies who didn't survive. All because she was distressed of what my father does to her.. and to me.

Stolas: *gasps* poor woman.. where is she now?

Alistar: She has died, from poisoning herself.. just to get away from my dad.

Stolas: That's terrible, Alistar. May she rest in peace now. I owe you my deepest condolences.

Alistar: Thank you. He's.. done a lot more than to hurt her mentally.

Stolas: I'm.. very sorry, Alistar.

Alistar: It's fine.. which is why I'm taking the memories I have of my parents as one of the reasons why I try giving my children what I never got, what they deserve.

Stolas: *smiles warmly* You're doing great, Alistar.

Alistar: So are you, Stolas.

Stolas: That.. means a lot to me. Thank you!

Rosalyn: Yeah. Being a parent is not a very easy job, but as long as you love your kids.. hardships never mattered because when you know they're happy, and safe.. that's enough to keep you going.

Ella: Oh, definetely. You're right on that.

Stolas: :)

......

Blitzo: If Loona ever gets hurt by a guy I'm gonna rip his sack of shit ass to shreds and make sure no one ever remembers a letter to his name.

Eli: *sighs*

Deena: No no.. he's got a point.

Blitzo: SEE? SHE GETS IT!

Hiii! I just finished the The Lucky One and I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR WRITING OKAY

Also, I had a question about the lake scene in Chapter 5- (a little spoiler alert for anyone hasn't read it)

The lake scene, with Wille telling Simon that being with him won't be easy and they will be hounded by the media all the time, it reminded me of Peace from Folklore A LOT like:

(But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west

I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best

But the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me)

And since you're a swiftie I wanted to ask that was it intentional??😭 because I got that vibe A LOT.

Love your writing💜

~heartbreakprincewille

Hello! This is my very first ask, so I'm strangely giddy right now!

First of all, thank you so much for reading and loving the fic. 💜💜💜

Yes, it is inspired by Peace. If you've read my other fic, Right Where You Left Me, there's also a chapter with the same name and the story is heavily inspired by it as well.

I love the song because I think it captures the essence of someone— especially public figures and celebrities— being afraid that their love can be ruined anytime by outside forces. Still, you try to keep that love alive and I think it's so wonderful that you're being honest to your partner about these fears, so yeah.

All of my fics are inspired by many TS songs (and other artists as well). For The Lucky One, it's mostly the song of the same name, Peace, Delicate, Archer, and The Great War.
