#i'll one day get around to making a pinned post where i clarify it

[dredshirtroberts]

fucking... ow.

[dredgen-dumbass]

Redo of my pinned post, again, because I'm indecisive.

At a glance:

No screen name, he/him. Predominantly SFW blog, tws follow the normal content of Destiny 2. I swear like a sailor. Not the type for dni lists, just don't be a bigot. Asks are open to all. I don't mind mass likes/reblogs, and dw about derailing. The rest is under the cut.

Message from yours truly,

I genuinely thought I was going to just spam Drifter content for a few days, and then go delete Tumblr again once my brain calmed down about it. As it turns out, that isn't happening. I like the community here so far, which isn't something I've been able to say about Tumblr for some time now, and it seems like I'm going to stick around a while longer. That, and I thought I was just fixated on the one character, but Destiny itself is becoming a pretty big interest of mine, and I know I'll need somewhere to talk about it, so this is going to shift more towards that. I'm going to try to be a bit more cautious with tags so I'm not filling them with every Destiny related through that crosses into my brain, so I'm going to set up an (albeit shoddy) tagging system and be a bit more conservative with what gets put in the main D2 tag. Apologies if I flooded anything you follow, I'm used to posting in a much larger fandom where things get buried really quick, I didn't realize how bad it was until I tried to go through those tags myself, and... eesh.

So, me.

I know it's Tumblr culture to put every last detail in your bio, but personally I'm not comfortable with that. If you need more than I give, then just click off and move on. I understand wanting some idea of who you're talking to, but I think the things that matter will come up naturally through my posts. What I do think should be clarified, just as a matter of perspective with all the queer stuff in this fandom, is that I'm a gay dude. Other than that, I don't think any labels are relevant to this account. If something else becomes relevant, feel free to ask for clarification, I understand that some things read differently depending on who's saying them. Otherwise, respect my privacy, thanks.

Fandom chaos & such,

I want to keep discourse away from my blog, both fandom and real-world. Especially real-world, because Destiny is an escape for me, and I want to keep this as a separate space I've carved for myself, in the same way as the game is for me. That said, bigots can fuck off to hell. Y'all ain't welcome here just because I'm not interacting with the arguments. This is a safe space for everyone, provided you ain't making it unsafe for anyone else.

Destiny stuff,

I'm a casual player, have been going for about 3 years now. I'm a solar titan main.

My favorite character is drifter, I've been pretty clear on that, I think (/s). I'm still learning the game lore and such, so at the moment he's the only character I've actually gone in-depth reading about.

My other favorites are saint-14, saladin, shaxx, and ghost.

Expect my posts to mostly be about them.

This isn't a ship blog, though I may reblog ship content occasionally. I don't have any I particularly care for, aside from O14, but to me they're different because it's canon. Again, asks are open if you want to hear me talk about a specific ship.

I have been asked specifically about drifteris because I post sm about Drifter, and no I'm not a drifteris shipper. I read their relationship as platonic, and if I post about both of 'em it's not a shipping thing. I'm glad the ship brings more attention to the characters, though.

Fanart & fics,

I'll be honest, I've written a few short pieces of my yw. I don't plan on posting them, and even if I do I'm not sure that I'll connect them to this blog in any way. that's a question for future me, whether that's tomorrow or years from now.

Fanart is a pain for me right now. I want to make stuff, and I've done a little, but I'm currently in the traditional artist picks up digital art learning curve, so I'll probably continue to post and delete and post and delete. Feel free to repost my art, just credit me. Honestly, I haven't signed anything atp because I just don't expect anyone to repost it anyways, but as I progress that may become an issue and I don't want to be updating this weekly. Fanart requests are entirely open, destiny ocs included, I need the practice anyway. I do already have some sitting in my asks, so I'll be doing those first, but still.

I don't sit and vet all every account I reblog, so if I reblog something stolen or just uncredited let me know and I'll tag the artist.

If you have m/m or m/neutral (or just platonic) fic recommendations feel free to send em over. Gotta have something to keep me occupied.

Tagging system?

I've never made one of these before. I don't think I have the time to go through all of my previous posts and set them up with this, but from now on the structure will be:

#dredgenposting - all of my destiny-related rambling, because I don't want to fill the destiny 2 tag with my post spam.

#reblogs

#mild nsft - probably just sex jokes

#nsft - probably won't be used, but leaving it here in case it is so that I'm not coming back again to edit this

#discourse - not sure how much this will be used, but I'm bound to have a public opinion on something eventually

#fanart - my own fanart

#asks

if there's something you'd like tagged to filter in/out while looking through my blog, lmk. chances are I'm fine with incorporating it.

and that's it. thanks for reading, live long and prosper y'all.

Hey, I absolutely adore your writing style! Especially in “We’ve all have needs”. Do you think there is a possibility for a Nami and Sanji one shot in the future? I crave him being a service top to her, and I see that you haven’t written them so far.

Thank you, I'm so glad you're enjoying my writing! I sincerely apologize if this wasn't you, but I'm going to use this ask to clarify some things.

Requests are closed, and I wouldn't normally respond this way, but this is the third anonymous ask I've received in less than a week saying that they enjoyed We've All Got Needs, and would like a one shot with Sanji being a pleasure/service top to Nami. I passionately agree, and I put it on my WIP list when I got the first ask, even though requests are closed.

(I have it listed that requests are closed in my bio, on my pinned masterlist post, and on my rules post in case you're not sure where to check.)

Great minds do think alike, so I'm so sorry if you're not the same anon. I've just started anon signatures, so if you'd like to send anon asks to me regularly, you can pick an emoji as your signature and let me know which one you want to end each ask with so I know who's who. (I've got the claimed ones on my pinned profile, so far only -⭐ is taken).

I don't answer asks until I post the fic, so that I can link it and make sure the anon or requester gets the link. But every single idea gets added to my WIP list, even after requests are closed.

I know that my writing speed has slowed down since returning to work, and my recent medication changes have made it difficult for me to get into writing mode. I sometimes miss my manic/medical leave 2k-4k a day posting sprees, but romanticizing mania is b a d.

Lol, my point is, I know I'm not posting as frequently as I used to, or as frequently as I want to. I'm trying to be kind to myself, and I know pushing myself will make the adhd brain say NO altogether. That's why I've closed requests, so I can work on the ongoing requests and fics, as well as the ones I've got waiting in the wings without getting distracted.

I'll be posting another poll soon on which WIP people would like me to write next, but I'm not including the requests that came in after requests were closed.

I love your idea, and it is on my WIP list. I will get to everything on that list, but I can't promise when, especially when they come in while requests are closed.

I totally understand if you don't want to wait that long. There are so many wonderful fic writers around here, and I'd love to see their take on this delicious idea.

Again, I'm sorry if you aren't the same anon that asked for this 3 times this week. I will write this eventually, but if you check out the WIP Update list on my pinned post, you can keep an eye on what I'm focusing on next.

Thank you for the love, anon! I hope you find the perfect fic to read tonight! 🥰🖤

Would any lovely fic writer friends like to fulfill this request in the meantime? I would absolutely love to read it 🙏🏼🤤
