[pookiebearmick]

weekly tag wednesday 👀🌈❤️✨

thanks bbs for the tags!!! @gallapiech @spookygingerr @thepupperino @jrooc 🥰🥰🥰

Name and ao3 handle: Deckard, pookiebearmick

Current Location: My home!! 👏

Favourite thing you’ve created (or seen created) for the fandom? One day I will make little fanart but for now I've only written a few things and made a couple of gifsets hehe, I like this little ficlet I wrote and this gifset I made!! ✨ (if u wanna send me a prompt i would write some shit for you OR if u have some scene(s) you want a gif of i might be down for that - send me an ask!)

Why is it your favourite? I love fluffy shit and I think Ian hiding in the pool is SO funny (plus I hadn't seen a "pls Mick" gif and I needed it lol)

Did it come easily or was it hard to create? I feel a mix LOL gifs take so long and the most frustrating thing for me is always having too big of file sizes to actually upload them on this godforsaken website 😭

Last ao3 fic you commented on? Okay look I am SO behind on reading any fics, I've been in a "I don't wanna read" mood lately so I've mostly been listening to little YouTube vids or watching Shameless clips when I would usually be reading so I think it might be what do you know? by @em-harlsnow (so cute btw, def worth the read) 🥰

Biggest WIP heartache you’ve ever experienced? I'm with Pie on this one, Things Beyond Mistake by Grayola lives RENT FREE in my head 24/7 my god.

Favorite trope or head cannon you like included in a fanfic? Big fan of fluffy soft husband shit, enemies to lovers, slowburn, and slice of life 🌈❤️

Least favourite? I don't love the omegaverse stuff lol, just not my thing!

Secret or surprising kink or trope? I don't think so? I don't know that I'm very secretive with the things that I enjoy reading LOL

Describe how you feel after you’ve created something new? I feel pretty energized for a bit and super excited about the thing, but then mostly just like relief at finishing a task TM (even if it's not a required thing but just a personal "I wanna do this" thing)

Top hype man you have that always helps you get across the finish line: I'd say my partners 🥰

It's been a bad day, you turn to the fandom and you _____? Play snails in the Discord server lol I love that stupid little game. If I'm really feeling the bad day I'll either find a comfort fic (thank u Boy Best Friends by @whatthebodygraspsnot and from way up there (you and i, you and i) by @sam-loves-seb or if i'm feeling something longer Suncatcher by @wehangout) ✨

anyways i've yapped long enough lol, tags below the cut!

if you wanna!! (sorry if you've been tagged/posted already i've only been on for a bit and might not have seen your post yet hehe) @heymrspatel @mickeym4ndy @burninface @rxinbowwparadise @twinklyylights @transsexual-dandelions @transmurderbug @celestialmickey @gardenerian 🥰🥰🥰 also if u weren't tagged at all this is ur tag!!! i'm missing so many people lol

Colin + his (many) love confessions for Penelope

[martitheevans]

So, no season 4?

[rafesbbyy]

So when are we gonna admit that the writers of HOTD were just expecting the show to be carried by GOT's legacy and success? They put zero effort into understanding their own characters and it's so obvious (seriously, are s1 and s2 even the same shows atp?). Its so obvious they're relying on GOT's legacy which isn't a bad thing, but they're also not doing anything good with they current story that they've got. They've completed butchered every character, every plot line because they know the show will still be popular due to Game Of Thrones.

[ldpdluvr]

i just got to the 2k word count for my fic 🥳🥳 i think this is the first time i've written a fan fic that is this cohesive, i kinda don't know if it makes sense but i'm too shy to show anyone helppppp

[sharkzillasaurus]

Hey chat, random yap sesh today, I'll try and have some art tomorrow 👍👍 Anywho the yapping...

Just small details about character designs that help me distinguish characters, I'll be using Yes Man as an example

Yes Man's design has loads of little details that I love, the little antenna on the top right of his head, the little crosses on his shoulders, as I like to call them idk if they have an actual term, the fact that the wire going around the bottom of his shoulders is one long wire that goes around the top of his face, etc, etc.

Whenever I see models and drawings of him I always look for these little features, as they help me figure out what character it is.

When it comes to human characters, these features come in handy as I struggle to distinguish between faces, with most people looking the same to me. Say a character has black hair and a purple T-Shirt:

Those would be the recognisable features for me.

But what if a artist were to change the shirt colour to, let's say yellow, in their own design of the character, but another character already has black hair and a yellow shirt, and I've already got in my head that black hair and yellow shirt belong to that character?

I'd probably see them as the same character, even though they're not.

Where am I going with this? Idfk don't ask me!

I think what I was trying to say is that although I love love LOVE fan designs of characters, it can be hard for me to recognise that character as that character, which is why I love even more when the artist keeps certain recognisable features from the original character.

And that it very only slightly ticks me off when artists forget little features, but in all honesty it doesn't even matter!! It's still Yes Man without the antenna, he's still recognisable. They're small and forgettable features that don't really add or subtract from a character's design, only existing to maybe add a little detail.

I think i just like really looking at a character's small details and memorising them all, don't take this post to heart, I don't even think it makes sense!!

Okay toodle pip, chat 😊👋👋

[dwtdog]

they’re sooo dramatic. and i was seeing more of a balance this time compared to other times that were just kicking his ass before when there was delays like this time lots of people going well we should be grateful he even wants to make content still. so that was good but yeah people were saying none of them give a fuck anymore and stuff like idk there’s just no empathy there and it’s so dramatic. sure i find it a little frustrating to post about that game like it’s something for us to look forward to because it’s not content but 🤷🏻‍♀️ i would love for them to not cater to only irl fans and i think just streaming for like literally an hour every two weeks would calm people down so people don’t keep getting heated but it is what it is. i feel bad over his computer that has to be so frustrating

i think a lot of people (reddit included) have finally understood the insane scope of the project and are now more understanding as to why it's taken so long bc I def saw a lot of comments that were saying that obviously it's not dreams fault (duh) and that he has been working hard so I hope he at least sees those if he does check the reddit-which, lets be honest, I'm sure he will

[brynn-lear]

I think I'd ship you with Argenti. It's the vibes for me

drawing this made me realize we're like a masc gf x fem bf dynamic haidjwjdiis

I'm not sure what you meant by "vibes", I'd love to know more- but if you don't want to elaborate that's fine cuz this is still such a W. I have such an appreciation for Argenti as a character, so bless you 🔥🔥🔥🔥 /gen

Tumblr may have filtered my last ask bc it had a link, or maybe you weren’t interested in responding. If it was a fluke, I’d love to hear your thoughts on a post by butchmartyr/760478305191346176/noooo-trans-person-dont-mistake-your?source=share

My first thought was “there shouldn’t be gender affirming clothes” just clothes you like wearing or clothes that feel expressive. I stewed on it for a while because I definitely support people doing what works for them, but seeing this “no it’s not ur radical self acceptance, it’s trans apathy and don’t die wondering, u could be happier” was kinda wild. Anyway take care out there!!

NAUUURRRRR I WAS TOO LATE THE POST GOT DELETED???

but honestly from what you've said... i feel like trans ppl, especially those who go for more stereotypical opposite sex gender conforming clothes/hairstyles/etc can 1000% do gender affirming things that are sexist, or at least describe what they're doing in a sexist way. they often don't bother to look at their own behaviors thru a feminist lense. in their defense, they are often dealing with debilitating dysphoria and can't really think much beyond "i want the discomfort to stop" and humans often draw conclusions about strangers based on very stereotypical characteristics like long vs short hair, makeup, skirts/dresses vs shorts/pants, high pitched vs low pitched voice etc so for them, conforming to the opposite sex's stereotype means having an easier time being recognized as the opposite sex/agab. it means the awful feeling inside them stops and they get relief from the distress that dysphoria gives them. so they aren't thinking clearly, and i say this as someone who was dysphoric for like, 13 years.

honestly in some way i don't blame them - often they do this only until transition, and then i've found they (at least transmascs) are more likely to want to be visibly gnc post-transition. so they aren't just giving into the patriarchy's demands and reinforcing stereotypes permanently; it's a form of treatment, in a way. but the thing is that it's also addictive... they get validation from one stranger, whether it's just out of trans allyship or not, and then it makes the following times they're misgendered that much more painful. which makes them seek transition that much more desperately, understandably so.

the problem with this is that many of them don't just affect themselves with this. they affect "cis" gnc people too with how they talk about themselves and how they talk about gender-validating crossdressing ("crossdressing" can be a cringy word, but ykwim). they aren't just talking between themselves, as much as they tend to think they are. they're posting about this shit in public social media spaces with mildly dysphoric ppl and gnc people who can very well develop dysphoria thru reading their "how to Look Like A Man/Woman" type posts. if to "look like a man" or "look like a woman" you need to be gender conforming, what would that make "cis" gnc people reading it feel about themselves? in a world where we're always told that we're not man enough, we're not real women, we don't act or dress or think like a woman should? of course i developed dysphoria. ofc i did. many other detrans & post-trans gyns and detrans men developed it as a result of this kind of rhetoric. i understand that these ppl need tips from each other to figure out how to manage their dysphorias. i get that. but this shit isn't well moderated at all. they don't actually tell people hey, it's okay if you're just gnc. they don't put a dysphoria-inducing trigger warning or something. they don't realize that this is a... okay, this will be a weak metaphor, but kinda how some mental illness communities will give each other tips that really makes shit worse for ppl reading it who might not even have had any signs of mental illness symptoms before reading it. <<< another thing that happened to me btw, those tumblr spaces really made me mentally sick. i was always prone to it, same as how i was prone to dysphoria, bc of my upbringing & genes. but reading about very mentally sick people's deep inner thoughts really fucked with my head!! and reading about very dysphoric people's deep inner thoughts REALLY fucked with my sense of self. reading about them calling their boobs in masc outfits gross and disgusting and feeling slimy or whatever on their chest made me start feeling dysphoric about them; i had always felt insecure abt my body, and hated that it was so sexualized by boys, but suddenly i developed a whole new complex about it. i know gnc male/amab ppl can have similar feelings when transfems talk abt their bodies and how gross they looked in feminine outfits, how they wish they looked like cis women, how they can't wait to have that happened bc their current visibly gnc bodies are disgusting. cis/bio gnc men reading or listening to that shit can really gain so much shame abt their natural inclination towards femininity and traditionally unmasculine things.

trans people, dysphoric people really need to watch how they talk about their gnc bodies pre-transition and how much they casually gender clothes, hairstyles etc (even just in jokes). they also need to make sure their audience doesn't have ppl who are mildly, potentially treatable dysphorics who can fall deeper into dysphoria by reading what mainstream tras say about their gender nonconforming bodies and womanhood/manhood. they have no idea how many vulnerable, insecure people susceptible to new insecurities are reading what they're writing or hearing what they're saying. also, them trying to steal the "don't die wondering" sapphic slogan by making it about transness, making it about transition, is truly fucked up. if they listened to detrans/desisted/post-trans people AT ALL they would know what to do and not to do to prevent future detransitions. and detransitioners makes them look bad, as they always love to remind us, so why the fuck would they be so careless as to create more of us by not moderating their spaces? it harms trans people too, doesn't it?

we need more tra accountability. we need them to call this shit out.

[all-mighty-axle-arc]

hi! What's your opinion on different phighters?

hello! i've made a little* list of my thoughts on each of them. (*//it's not little! it's a lot longer than i expected,,, looked shorter when i was drafting it during school. soo ya it's under the cut)

skateboard - pretty great guy! as well as a surprisingly hard hitter! it's fun to take him on in duels. biograft - subspace's wild creation. i don't like them much, but i have to admit that they put up a good fight. katana - nice guy and all, but he doesn't seem to get that i can be just as great as him. his blade is not better. fun to fight, but tough. he will not let up until his target has been properly defeated. ban hammer - not that great. he believes that he's just better, and assumes too much about me. i have similar opinion as i do with katana when it comes to dueling. i hate to admit that he's a tough one to defeat. it's even worse that he's blindfolded all the time! rocket - my best friend!!! love spending time with him! he's also very capable in battle, albeit a little reckless. i can't say much though, i get myself into trouble a lot. slingshot - it's terrible getting picked off by him in battle, but he's genuinely a nice guy outside of it! his cafe is always worth a visit if you're near crossroads. hyperlaser - i don't know much about him at all, but i respect him. he's an extremely capable sniper. he doesn't see how great my gear is, though. shuriken - he seems nice, but he's akin to a pest in battle. can't really keep him from getting behind you and catching you off guard for a cheap takeout. scythe - i know even less about her. i've yet to properly introduce myself to her. she seems courteous to some other phighters, but i'm not sure how she'll greet me. rocket doesn't seem to like her whatsoever. she's a true threat in battle if left unchecked. medkit - always an amazing demon to be friends with, despite his constant lack of excitement. he's almost like a brother to me, really. we've been through a lot! boombox - i like his style! he's a good support to have on the team as well as someone to just chat with. his shield can be a pain but i respect the need to protect yourself and your teammates. subspace - i don't like him. he's an overconfident nuisance. i know a fair bit about him due to med, and he lives up to the description med gave. he doesn't put up a fair fight in battle, unfortunately. vine staff - she's alright! however, i feel like she's a little too concerned about me, asking about my gear and such. she can trust me to take care of myself!

[skittishandi]

I recently deleted one little scene, the scene itself was not that important but it featured our lovely Peter singing There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths to Elliot while they were having breakfast together and I think that's peak Peter behavior.

[anonfromtheflight]

I love that youngroyals-confessions reblogged your backstory, I had no idea what your name was from until today! So lovely, your reaction is so relatable 😅

Asdhdjdjskdkñlls yeaaah that's how I came to Tumblr lmao kinda embarrassing to read again after so many months but in my defense, I was severely sleep deprived AND going through an emotional rollercoaster because of Young Royals. And Omar Rudberg's everything lmao (thank you forever to my dearest @darktwistedgenderplural for telling me to look up his music, I became instantly obsessed)

I hadn't planned to get into the fandom but the brain rot was stronger and since everyone was so nice, I couldn't resist the pull 🤭🤭

I actually chose anonfromtheflight as my Tumblr username after @kruemel8 suggested it after they checked it was available and since I noticed everyone was calling me that while I was a still an anonymous person who had just watched the show, it was really easy to pick haha Not the most original but it represents how I found Young Royals, its fandom and some wonderful friends! (and Omar!!!)

[ask-moonbig]

Well if you're friends with Ma then i'm your friend too!!

*Aurum smiles brightly as saying that,but his expression shifts rather quickly.*

A cult? Like a religion? I don't see nothing wrong with that! Why would you be offended?

*Classic chatolic (Speakers) raised kid still in belief cuz spent fourteen years surrounded by his literal Gods.*

( *Cha cha slide* me when i'm also a chatolic kid))

If you would like to be my friend, I would gladly be yours.

...

A cult suggests evil and blind following. I do not like that label for me or my mooners. I am fine with being called a religion though.

art dump

woohoo! I actually am posting this! This is all the stuff that's actually kinda good bc most of my sketch book is a mess. I mean like scibles everywhere and multiple versions of drawings that look like a 7 year old drew and pages missing half of themselves 🤓

Ok so first up is Luna! The first one is without a filter and the other one is with one. We're not gonna talk about the glasses or neck or the amount of crap I had to whiteout lol

Here's some fanart I made in school. Ik it looks a little goofy but I think it's beautiful 🙃. Top right we have portraits of some important characters in this one novel called Tangerine we had to read last school year. The curly hair one is this guy named Joey, the stick figure w/ glasses is the main character Paul and the one who thinks hes the rizzler is Paul's older brother Erik. That book is trash btw so don't read it.

Beside that is a sketch of Viola/Cesario from Twelfth Night. I spent more time on the drawing than the actual graded writing part lol. On the bottom is the Duke Orsino (also from Twelfth Night.)

Next we've got our favorite Alabama citizens (plus Haleth bc she girlboss!) Nienor/Ninel is in the top right with the walking L (her brother/partner/husband actually...) Túrin and then the baddie Haleth 💪🥵💅. I tried to draw Beleg too but he came out a little special looking.

These are what I like to call my

✨️scary sketches✨️

Messy outlines? YES! Terrible proportions? OFC! Weird commentary? ALWAYS! Will I regret putting these on the internet for everyone to see? PROBABLY 😅

I drew Aredhel as a teenager (why specifically teen idk), yk before Eöl and all that drama and trauma. Idk how I feel about it...

And then Lihn Song from KotLC bc she's cool and super pretty and has fire hair.

And on the bottom is our hot princess girlboss slay queen Lúthien. My drawing does no justice 😭

Idk if you can tell but I'm totally loosing my attention so this next part will be really short and simple bc I need to get this over with 🥱

the first drawing is gisela from KotLC and my current pfp, so slay

Next to that is a sketch from about a year ago of baby me! Ik, I was adorable ☺️💅

And under that is my favorite MEGAMIND X JOJO SIWA!!! He's so slay.

Ok all done now I can sleep :)

[starfilledsky2810]

like half of my mutual's otp's are my notp and I laugh abt that to myself so often lmao

[egbluh]

wait holy shit!!! same hat!!! this is so pog. its so cool that u and ur host r so open about urselves cause I wouldntve realized its what I am otherwise!!! were like. 7, not counting our host, and technically were all fictives? if only because we became ocs after we ''appeared'' but its probably not the same. im sending on anon cause its from my hosts blog and theyre shy. it sucks that people r bein dicks tho - Z

i'm glad we helped in figuring yourselves out. :)

i have 8 other headmates who are fictives, except for 2 because they're our hosts ocs. and we have one headmate who's a fanon version of the source(bro) and he's actually really cool.

personally, me as a fictive, i'm "canon complaint" and our host describes me as "john egbert from homestuck, but worse" and so is sonic lmao. like, we look into our sources every other time. i am john egbert, but i'm also not john egbert. i was molded to be like him, and i also choose to be him. though not in all aspects, but i'm cool with that. and we won't let other people decide on who we are, and don't ever doubt yourself!(we keep saying that to our host.) being a tulpa is awesome and cool!!!!!!

yeah, the "anti-endo" people really think they know what they're talking about. they're just hurting themselves in the process. they want to be in a community, yet they're alienating themselves. it's so sad to watch. no use in talking to them though. only positivity and joyous whimsy in my blog!!!
