“Indirectas Directas” | OP81

Part 1 -> “Made in Argentina: The Series” (Oscar’s Version)

Parings: Oscar Piastri x Argentine!Reader.

Summary: you and Oscar have known each other since your best friend Franco Colapinto started competing in F3. You always had a crush on the Australian pilot. You have been friends for a while now but the friendship got closer since Franco got in F1 and you can see each other every race weekend. The butterflies starts for both of you. Do you really just wanna be friends? You teaching him “piropos” from your country may have subliminal messages.

Now playing: “IMÁN (Two of Us)” by Maria Becerra.

Word count: +1.2k.

Warnings: a few curse words. Pure fluff. Not a native English speaker so there could be (so many) errors. Not proofread.

Author’s note: alrightyyyyy I hope this is good! And I really recommend Maria! I love herrrr my queen!! I did my best with the piropos jajaja Don’t forget to like or reblog! And follow me so we can be friends :3 (and drink mate together!)

MASTERLIST

“Hola, todo bien?” Oscar said carefully and weirdly remembering what you taught him a few seconds ago. You nodded proud of his Spanish.

“Todo bien, ¿qué contas?” You said in your Argentine accent making him open his eyes wildly panicking. He loved your voice in Spanish; it was slightly higher pitched than in English. In English you have a deeper voice for some reason. Of course he asked about it and you explained it may be because of the pronunciation of the words. It's really so different from one language to the other.

“What the hell did you ask?” He said giggling a little, making you laugh too.

“I asked you what’s up” you explained and wrote down that phrase in the little notebook he brought with a pen. All mc claren branded.

The friendship between you two has become closer with each race. You were good friends before but not that close. It was something either of you couldn’t explain. Like your bodies were driven directly to one another unconsciously. You didn’t want to think too much about it. You didn’t want to overthink it.

His face was like ‘oh yeah right it makes sense’. He smiled at your handwriting so rounded and legible. Unlike his. His was a little messy.

“Yo estoy carrera hoy” he tried to answer it without asking how to. You laughed and he blushed. “This is embarrassing, it's really hard to connect the words” he said shyly and you found it so cute.

“It was close though don’t feel bad. Spanish it’s super complicated for non-Latin language speakers. We have like 20 tenses and shit. It’s a mess” you explained to cheer him up. He loved the fact you knew so much about languages because you also knew how to talk Portuguese and Italian pretty perfectly in his opinion. He has heard you even trying to speak French with Pierre last weekend. He was impressed.

“Yeah I get it now” he said grinning. “Must be nice to flirt in Spanish like I don’t know like you automatically sound sexier and more interesting” he said, making you laugh. “No really like I heard Carlos talking to an interviewer the other day and I think I am in love actually” he said, making you laugh even more. He loved making you laugh. Your laugh was like a drug to him. You looked way too cute doing so.

“Well I don’t know actually but in Argentina we have some top level flirting like really great phrases. Let me teach you some. Wait I’ll look for some on google so I can help myself remember” you said excited about it because you knew it was gonna be bizarre and funny at best.

“Phrases? Like roses are red and that kind of stuff?” He asked curiously and you nodded looking at your phone.

He couldn’t help but get distracted by the way you looked. Like every other race weekend you were wearing one of the million Argentina tees you have in your wardrobe. Your skin was glowing because of the sunscreen making your freckles stand out even more. You dyed your hair blond a few weeks ago and it looked incredible on you. He wouldn’t have expected that change but it looked so good on you. Anyway, he was convinced that anything you do to your hair will always look good always. Because you were beautiful. And he thought that was dangerous. You’re supposed to be friends right? And he knows Franco will kill him if he finds out he likes you. But he couldn’t help it. You were so interesting to him. You went everywhere with your mate and sang a lot of football songs he didn’t understand but you looked so happy singing them with Franco. Like he was captivated by your foreign beauty. So different from Australia or Europe or even the United States. You were loud and always laughing. Your bright smile always makes everyone so happy. All of the boys loved you. You were the life of every party. And you also knew so much about formula 1 it was impressive. Then you told him you were studying for an engineering degree and everything made sense. You loved the sport. And you were the proud friend. He loved that you were so passionate about everything. Even now that you have this teacher and student dynamic, you take it so seriously. He loved it. And he liked it even more because he knew that you were a teacher back in your country. And he could see how much you love to teach and you were actually really good at it.

“Alright I found the first one!” You said already laughing. “Okay ready?” He nodded, smiling, waiting for your magic voice to pronounce the weirdest shit but sound amazing.

“Mi amor, quien fuera cemento para sostener ese monumento” you said and started laughing because his face was a poem.

“What the hell?” He said laughing as well. “What does it mean? It really sounded terrible, " he said dramatically.

“It means: my love, who could be cement to hold that monument” he bursted out laughing.

“What? I don’t know if it’s geniuous or rude to be honest” he said sincerely making you laugh.

“Oh my god that was so cringe I love it” you said looking for another one.

“Don’t even try to make me pronounce that last one please” he warned you funny. You denied with your head.

“Okay I found another one listen: tu con tantas curvas y yo sin frenos. Try to translate it” you said because there were words you already taught him.

“Oh my god alright. Repeat it please?” You repeated it and he thought for a few seconds.

“Uh tu curvas y yo frenos?” He said confused. You giggled a little but applauded proudly.

“Yes! You're getting better Oscky” you said sweetly. “It was: you with so many corners and I have no brakes” you said, smiling funny.

“Oh like the curves of the body right?” You nodded at his questions. “Oh alright I get it! So is like double meaning”

“Exactly” you answered. “Alright last one: besar es el lenguaje del amor, te importaría comenzar una conversación conmigo?” You said blushing. Your subconscious chose this one without leaving you a warning.

“You said something with kiss right?” He asked and you nodded. He blushed too. You were like two teenagers blushing and giggling.

“I said: kissing it’s the language of love. Would you mind starting a conversation?” You explained.

“You wanna kiss me?” His words slipped through his lips.

“Maybe I do” your words slipped through your lips.

You were both so red. An awkward silence made its presence.

“Oscar, sorry to interrupt but Zac is calling us both. Hey y/n, you good darling?” Lando appeared out of nowhere so save yourselves from the worst silence situation you’ve ever been into. Lando hugged you kissing your cheek and you smiled at him. Oscar took his things ready to go.

“All good Land. Hope you have a good reunion. See you after the practices!” You said waving to him. And Oscar gave you a cheeky smile.

Holy shit you’re fucked.

Interest check

Hi, just doing an interest check for an idea we have about making a DS9 anon kink meme! A kink meme is an ongoing prompt event where people can anonymously request fics and others can choose to anonymously fill any prompts they feel inspired by.

See below the poll for our initial thoughts on pros and cons and considerations.

On ao3 we could very easily set up a prompt collection open for anyone to add prompts or fill prompts anonymously. But we don’t know how easy it is to maintain momentum on an ao3 prompt collection. Maybe that doesn’t matter and it can be an ephemeral thing until people forget about it and it becomes inactive, and then the next generation of folks in the fandom can start up their own new one in a few years haha. If we do it on ao3, should we make subcollections for individual “seasons” or “rounds” (there would likely be no actual deadlines, it would just be whatever length of time it takes for the list of prompts to get too long and unwieldy to be usable), or should we have people put all the prompts into a single collection that just grows and grows and grows?

On dreamwidth there would be comment threads so there would be a way to anonymously register enthusiasm for a prompt even before it gets written, which seems really good for encouragement and feeding off of each other’s hype. (Dreamwidth might also tell you when new comments are added to the community, unlike prompt collections on ao3?) But we are less familiar with dreamwidth so we aren’t sure there’s enough ds9 fandom hanging out there (or willing to make an account there) to sustain it over there.

Tumblr doesn't seem like an option for a number of reasons (can't post fully anonymously to tumblr except via asks, and having everything be done via asks would make it difficult to organize and connect prompts with fills because to keep them both anon they'd have to be separated, and tumblr is a website with a famously terrible search function).

If a DS9-focused kink meme already exists, we’d love to hear about it! We’ve found a few seemingly inactive ones in our research. But if there’s an active one out there, we could absolutely just pivot to supporting/participating in that, instead of making our own thing and dividing up the fandom’s energies. (Another question we don’t know the answer to: Is it possible/desirable to work on reviving one of those inactive ones, just by encouraging a collective effort to start participating in one again? Or do we think the mods of these inactive ones have abandoned them and might be stressed out to suddenly see new activity?)

If you have something to say but don’t want to say it publicly, we also have an anonymous, slightly expanded google form version (that can be found in our pinned post) with space to leave freeform feedback. You can vote in one or both forms of this poll, depending on what you feel like.

We’d very much appreciate reblogs to spread this poll around since we just made this account, but no pressure to do so. We still want your vote in the poll if you’re interested in this idea, even if you don’t want to reblog a post about it. <3

Anyway, if you have any thoughts on this DS9 kink meme idea (or messages of encouragement!!!), please feel free to send them in! <3

[yandere-sins]

Sorry guys I am still not feeling so good and writing has been really hard. I am so burned out from work it's not even funny, I almost doubled my regular work hours this week OTL But luckily I only have one week left before vacation. That also means that I'll be grinding my teeth through these last days but I hope I can finally take some time to recover after getting through my vacation prep.

I'll answer some of your asks today and finish with reblogging my Monstertober Challenge as a reminder for everyone who's interested to join and then see what the week holds. I'll probably just do prep for October and I already have some ideas for new polls that will fit with the theme! All the excitement I can muster is in that challenge ngl :')

I appreciate you all being patient with me and I hope you look forward to the monster-meal as well!

I appreciate any and all feedback if you are interested in sharing or sending any. Being that this is my first ever chapter fic, I'll be promoing and reblogging about it a lot.)

Even though the Titan did enjoy watching his living son from the floating cubes that drifted around in the realm known as the In Between as doing so gave him the opportunity to watch his son grow up, he also liked spending time with his unhatched children.

Tonight was family game night.

“So,” the Titan began, smiling what was a close approximation to a smile down at his three little titan eggs who were sitting in front of him in a pool of shallow water.

Egg number one wore a pink bow, egg number two wore a blue baseball cap, and egg number three wore an egg-sized ‘Bad Girl Coven’ t-shirt, which matched with the one its father wore.

Reaching behind his back, the Titan happily pulled out two board game boxes.

The box in his left hand had a picture of a checkerboard, while the other displayed the image of a black king chess piece.

“What game should we play tonight?” he asked his egglings, not expecting them to give him a verbal answer as he had the ability to comprehend them without verbalization.

He holds up the first option. “Checkers?” He lists off, shaking the box some before bringing it down and lifting up the second option, repeating the process. “Or chess?”

The eggs, of course, stayed silent about the choices, but still communicated to their papa.

“…,”

“…,”

“…,”

The Titan couldn’t contain the buoyant laughter that decided to bubble up out of his chest when he heard them.

“Very well,” he said with a second chuckle, stowing the checkers box behind his back once again before using a single beckoning gesture of his finger to raise a table from below the shallow surface of the water.

Once the Titan sets the chess box down on the table, he opens it and takes out the board before laying it out.

“We’ll start with chess first and play checkers afterward. I’ll even throw in an extra game just for the fun of it,” he tells his eggs with a tender smile, placing the black and white chess pieces in their proper places.

He puts the pawns in front, then lines up the other pieces symmetrically with the king and queen in the middle.

Next, the Titan walks over and, with extra care and very gentle claws, picks up his little eggling in the blue baseball cap.

Heading over to its chair, he produces a plump white pillow from thin air onto it and carefully sets it down.

Two more plump pillows are conjured across from the table as the Titan picks up his other two eggs and settles them down on their seats.

They were going to watch their papa play against their sibling in a match.

Upon taking his seat at the table, the Titan casts a sunny smile across his scruffy face as he gazed at his child.

"I know this is your first time playing chess," he began in a kind and understanding voice before continuing.

"So I'll share with you what I know."

"...," went the egg to its father.

Such an innocently childlike response led to the Titan's soft chuckle, his bony smile reaching all the way up to his round, hollow eyes.

"Don't worry," he reassured to his unhatched egg softly.

"I'll explain all the basics to you, and we'll start slowly and take our time while playing."

Chess was a challenging and complex game, he knew that.

The Titan wasn't very fond of the classic board game at first when he first started playing it with a human man with blonde hair and a forelock.

However, as their games progressed and the man taught him the basics, his liking for it increased.

"...?" asked the egg.

The Titan nodded. "Promise," he said as their chess lesson began.

The two most crucial pieces in the game are reached for by clawed hands.

"See these two guys here?" The Titan asked his egg, holding the pieces in his hand before continuing.

"In chess, we call them kings. Each player only gets one, and they're the most important pieces in the game. You want to attack your opponent's king while also keeping your own king safe and protected."

King.

Safe.

Protected.

The Titan's mind was filled with memories of his oldest son.

He sighs of bliss from the memories before continuing with his explanation.

"Once the king is captured, the game ends, so always remember to keep him shielded."

As the Titan lists off the other pieces, he points at them.

"Each player controls 16 pieces: 8 pawns, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks, 1 king, and 1 queen."

"...?"

Papa Titan chuckles.

"The knights are the little horse heads, and the rooks are the little castle towers," he told his little one.

"Each chess piece has its own unique way of moving across the board and potentially capturing your opponent's pieces as it goes."

He points at the pawns.

"Pawns have the ability to move one square forward per turn, except for their first turn when they have the ability to move two squares forward. Pawns move diagonally forward by capturing other pieces diagonally. They cannot move backwards."

After explaining the other pieces to his egg in great detail, Papa Titan moves on to the gameplay and strategy.

...

"... And that's the game!" The Titan finishes his final statement with a grin.

Hands are placed on his hips.

"Sounds simple, right?"

"...," the egg said otherwise as a multitude of thoughts swirled inside its shell.

The Titan nodded with complete understanding of the overwhelming feeling.

"It's a lot to take in, but I think you can do it," he gently encouraged with a fatherly smile before continuing.

"Since you're just starting out, focus on always protecting your king, and you'll do just fine."

He gestures for the egg to make the first move.

As soon as he blinks, he observes that a white pawn has moved two spaces forward.

The Titan smiles, doing the same with his black one.

Upon the second blink, his eyes detect an advanced white king on the board, causing him to let out a jolly laugh.

"You're already a natural at this," he complimented, moving his knight.

Blinking, he notices that his child has pushed his king piece up a space.

In response, the Titan opened up a rook by pushing a pawn.

After more pieces are pushed, the Titan blinks again and sees that he's been checkmated.

He gives a playful laugh. "Well, that was certainly fun! You win!"

A hand hovers over the egg, gently patting the top part of its shell. "Good job."

...

After family game night concluded, the three eggs, who were now wearing small night caps that fit them just right, were curled up in bed under a thick comforter together as their father entered their room with a light brown hardcover book tucked under his arm.

"I'm hope you're all ready for tonight's story," he began, his voice so soft and tender as he took a seat in the rocking chair in the middle of the room.

"Because it's one of my favorites," he reveals with a gentle chuckle, showing off the cute cover to his children.

It was adorned with a gold border as scatters of sparkles and hearts were displayed in the background.

A happy human dressed in a pink suit and a winsome witch dressed in a blue gown were in the foreground, their respective palismen on each of their shoulders.

Behind them was another human with a beard, angrily spying on them in a bush with a bird perched on his head.

"It's titled 'A Winsome Witch And A Happy Human'," The Titan read as he opened the book and turned to the first page.

"Our story begins in Bonesborough..."

Pedro planners, anyone?

This is something that I've been thinking about for a long time, but I'm so overwhelmed by all the variables and possibilities that I haven't really made any headway yet. So I thought - why not ask for help?

If Pedro planners sound like something you'd be interested in, I'd love to hear from you! I'm doing this poll to keep things easy, but if you have any detailed ideas, please do leave them in comments or reblogs. I'd love to hear from you! I'll also do something similar on Instagram, if you feel more comfortable sending in answers there.

Reblogs for sample size will be very much appreciated ❤️

hey fandom peeps!

I'm currently working on an ethnography project about fandom culture on tumblr and fandom populations over time. This week I had to create a survey with a variety of types of questions to send out, and I would really, really appreciate if you could participate! It's a really short google form, mostly multiple choice/check-boxes, and no email required!

here's the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTI-jaDIUbDSDj2OXIh_IE7qced686taghdUvfmN0eRnCjnQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

so please if you could give it a looksie and also boost this, i'd really appreciate it!!!

i know that google forms aren't as fun as tumblr polls since the results don't pop up immediately, but if i get enough answers i can post the results in a reblog if y'all would be interested!

thanks so much friends!!!

(ps.- yes, i am tagging specific fandoms i am a part of, and yes, this can skew results. but because my project is a native ethnography, it is about my own personal orbit in my subculture, so as long as i record what biases the data has it will be okay. don't be scared it's all above board i promise)

Linkle’s Fazbear Frights & Lore Insights #0: Disclaimer & Important Notes

[View the Masterlist of all completed articles here.]

[Wondering if this post is outdated? Click here to check for a newer version. If no warnings appear up here upon clicking, this post is up to date.]

Hello, everybody! If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that some time ago, I put out a poll asking people if they would like to hear my thoughts on the Fazbear Frights books, and any potential lore relevancy they may have to the main canon universe of FNAF (AKA the universe that most, if not all, of the mainline games take place in — as well as some of the non-mainline games, too, like FNAF World).

With the ‘no’ option taking up just 15% of the final results, the answer was an overwhelming and resounding ‘yes’.

Well, this is me making good on that promise! From this point forward, after I finish each story, I will be writing a separate article on it, as well as including a possible retrospective after each whole book — as each contains multiple stories. 

Now, since this will be an on-going series that may take many months or even years to fully complete, and I obviously cannot expect everyone who chooses to read one of these to feel like wading through a massive set of disclaimers and important notes just to reach the main bulk of the article, I have decided that I will instead be making one single dedicated post here, which I will then link back to at each one’s beginning. (Though there may be additional, story-specific notes and disclaimers on them, as well.)

(Also, for those who are more interested in listening to audiobooks, I also am slowly re-scripting and recording these articles as a YouTube series, so feel free to check that out, if it sounds more like your preferred medium.)

So, with that said, please bear the following in mind:

1: I feel it very important to note that I am a ‘Frights Fiction’ truther, and my videos will be written from that perspective, as such.

If you don’t know what ‘Frights Fiction’ is, it is a very specific position in which some people stand that states that while the books are canon to the main game universe, they are canon only in the same sense that the video games commissioned by Fazbear Entertainment LLC were — that is to say, they are an in-universe Goosebumps-like book series created by the company in order to help profit off of and continue to discredit the actual tragedies that occurred within the world, by mixing up truths with untruths and exaggerating events they then sell as fiction, slapping a name reminiscent of the former attraction — Fazbear’s Fright — on the cover, just for extra effect.

If you are not a subscriber to ‘Frights Fiction’ and are not willing to remain to the idea, please be respectful and just keep scrolling. I am not interested in seeing people starting some grand debate over whether or not you subscribe to it; I’m just here to share my thoughts with those who are interested, so I would be appreciative if you did not try to start arguments in my reblogs or comment sections regarding it. I’m sure there are many great FNAF creators out there who will agree with you on your stance and be more to your liking, and if there aren’t, then I wholly encourage you to be the one to start the tradition and film your own video or write your own post that better suits your own perspectives.

2: I do not particularly intend to get into explaining or defending the concept of Frights Fiction as a whole in these posts, so if you are genuinely interested in the concept, but have never heard of it before, there are many good videos out there which explain the concept quite well; my personal recommendation if you’re interested in the topic is GiBi’s Horror Homestead, who is not only a fantastic FNAFtuber in general, but who is going through each book bit by bit and pointing out all of the evidence to support the theory. 

Given that his 9 hour main canon lore video was the entire reason I fell so deeply in love with FNAF in the first place, I would be remiss not to plug and recommend him at every chance I can get. Although he may not yet carry the big name of those like Game Theory, Dawko, or FuhNaff, he is truly one of the most thoughtful and insightful FNAF creators out there who actually elevates others within the community (even those he disagrees with), and I truly believe he deserves much more notoriety than he gets for it.

3: These analyses will inevitably hinge on my personal understanding of FNAF canon lore regarding the games, and, yes, will include both theorizing with facts and evidence, and likely a lot of speculation, as well. If you disagree with a stance I have regarding canon, again, I refer you to matter #1; please be respectful and move on. I’m not here to discuss anything except the relevance that the books could have in regards to the lore, in accordance with the Frights Fiction stance, and I would thus appreciate you keeping things on topic.

4: There will be spoilers for the Frights Fiction stories discussed in each article, along with the games from the mainline canon. Obviously. If you don’t want to be spoiled on a specific story or on any of the games, don’t read the article in question until you’ve read the story you want to read or played the game you want to play.

Certain articles may also contain spoilers for other games and/or stories or books. In each case, those warnings will be added to the story-specific disclaimers on the individual posts in question. 

5: I’m calling the Crying Child “Garret”. It’s the only name he canonically has in any form of the series that doesn’t require puzzle solving to come to the conclusion of, and it’s my preference. If you like any other name, just mentally replace it in your head when you read it.

I don’t want to wade through thousands of comments or reblogs telling me, “Actually, the crying child’s name is Dave”, or “I call the crying child Evan” or anything of the like. I know. I know basically every name out there under the sun that exists. I just don’t want to use those names — plain and simple. 

I respect your own picks; all I ask is that you don’t try to force them onto me.

6: it should be noted that, as Scott has confirmed in a decently recent interview with Dawko that he just writes down the basic plot of his stories and all the important points he wants to cover, and then lets the another author flesh it out more fully, we have no way of knowing outside of the main plot exactly what details are his ideas and which aren’t; therefore, there’s a good chance that a few, or even multiple, of the things I bring up are just massive coincidence and have no meaning whatsoever in reality. I do think there’s value in discussing it nevertheless, but still, that inherent uncertainty is why I will often try to provide more than just one or two details to back up most of my more elaborate interpretations and ideas; if we can’t be sure that any one single minute detail within the books has value — unless of course it’s something Scott has specifically said is important — then I find it a little shaky to place too much importance on them individually.

7: While I will be giving my general impressions of each book as I go along and probably sharing where it ranks currently out of all the stories I’ve read, I do not have any serious intentions to do a deep dive on them beyond how it regards the lore implications of the games. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to break down the books word by word and analyze, in a meta way, what they could be trying to say and possible interpretations of their messages in terms of being a standalone story, this series of posts is probably not for you. For that, I again will recommend GiBi’s Horror Homestead, as he is currently doing the deep dives of exploring themes and general symbolism and interpretations outside of just the FNAF lore, as well as looking for evidence of the Frights Fiction stance he already currently takes, and it’s very interesting and thought-provoking.

Analysis Structure

Since this is the first post in the series, I will also briefly explain how this format is going to work:

Each analysis is going to be broken up into two major sections: ‘Overall Impressions’, where I talk about my general feelings on the story outside of dissecting the implications it has on the lore, and ‘Lore Relevancy’, where I’ll be talking about everything potentially lore-related.

In both of those sections, we will then have a couple of sub-sections: for the ‘Overall Impressions’ section, if a particular story has any adaptations outside of the original book, there will be subsections dedicated to each different form of media it appears in. In the ‘Lore Relevancy’ section, we will have two subsections — with one being ‘The Lies and Half-Truths’, where we will discuss both anything that we know is definitely not relevant to the FNAF main canon lore and anything that is somewhat based on true events, but confirmably not entirely, and ‘The Truths and Likely Truths’, where we will discuss anything that we can confirm or otherwise be reasonably certain is true, as well as things that seem likely to be true but are not as easily comfortable – which, for ease of determining which is which, will each be divided into two respective sub-subsections.

And now that you understand how this is going to work, with that, I hope you look forward to the upcoming posts! Thank you for reading!

if you see this please answer, i would love to get as much honest feedback as possible. (going to be up for a week, reblog’s are appreciated lots <3)

1. would you watch a youtube channel / tiktoks of someone who posts motivational rants / vents from experience, but also ties astrology into it as well?

2. sprinkled in with fun breaks like “how to do your makeup based on (rising sign, venus sign ect) and then explain the difference between the “theories” behind it? look books based on different aspects as well?

think older sister who gives advice, but also hangs out casually, kinda like what this blog is like for me :)

[nearsbday]

hello - this event is a wonderful idea, everything is so neatly organized, and i love the tumblr theme too! i would like to ask - am i mistaken in thinking an event like this pretty much consists of doing all this (wonderful) organization of the blog, the rules, the prompts - just leaving it all there for people to see, and then reblogging everyone's fanworks? (and of course, doing a great job at answering everyone's questions!) i've always been intimidated by how much work fandom events look to be, but it's occurred to me recently that a prompt-based, free-to-opt-in event like this doesn't involve all the job of putting out surveys and collecting their results, organizing teams of people, following up with unfulfilled submissions, etc. so i'm kind of hopeful i might be able to organize a similar event one day. you guys are doing it amazingly, it's no small job, but i was genuinely wondering because it also feels pretty achievable :) but of course that might be me being a bit naive. is there any other work behind the scenes? i'm honestly just curious to know how much work it takes either way! i've seen other people do a surprising amount of work for events like this - getting people to make countdown art, tons of surveys, interest checks, etc. did you guys also do something like that? do you think it is or is not strictly necessary for a prompt-based event? thank you so much in advance for replying, good luck with the event, and i hope it's a blast! (and i'm so sorry for being too long winded! i always get caught up in trying to clarify!)

HI! thank you for the question, and no worries about long-windedness. i'll do my best to answer your question. we did not do any surveys, because we had ideas for prompts already and wanted to use those! we also didn't really worry too much about doing a big interest check. i don't have a good explanation for that other than "personally knew enough people who were nominally interested to feel pretty good about it" lmao. if the event were more niche -- for example, if this were an event for a small ship, or a less popular character -- i think it would have been prudent / useful to do an interest check and to poll people for when they're available, but since Near is fairly popular (though arguably under-appreciated. in my totally non-biased opinion.) and his birthday is on a set date, interest wasn't too much of a concern, and the dates weren't too hard to land on, either.

so far, the graphics have been the largest amount of work, as well as thinking of how to organize and run things-- stuff like determining when to release prompts, how often / how to do promotion for the event, when to post reminders / countdowns, rules, submission guidelines, determining a tagging system for submissions once the event starts (we will be tagging with prompt, day, fan work format {fic vs art vs playlist etc}, whether or not it's sfw, username of the person submitting, and honestly probs at least one more thing i'm just forgetting rn)... so on and so forth. i have a lot of fun making graphics for fanfics and such, so i took charge of creating those, and what we have so far pretty easily took around... 14-16 hours? this is including things that aren't posted yet, like the graphics we have for each day of the event. i still have a few more graphics to make as well for things like the countdown :-)

it's hard for me to say how much work the rest will be, since it hasn't happened yet-- and since i imagine it'll depend on how much participation we get!! -- but, if you'd like to talk more about the set-up for an event like this, or if you'd like to hear what i think after the event is finished / listen to whatever lessons we end up learning from running our first event, feel free to reach out to me at @blondiest or @neallo <3 [i won't speak definitively for my co-runner, but i imagine she'd be happy to weigh in as well!]

[smr7k4]

going to be hopeful and actually make scorbmas 2023 a thing :3

here's a shitty little Google form where you can submit your christmas or winter? cozy? themed ideas for doodles and prompts

if I get enough responses I'm going to close it on thurstday 14th and start a poll with the answers (similar prompts are gonna be merged). I have my last final of this year on 20th and after that there's going to be a surprise reveal!

I hope noone will be mad if I'd like it to start on 21nd, nothing like getting creative to get into the mood :3 and imo the atmosphere before the big day is better than after. it would last until 27th, so 7 days days of joy!!!

it's kinda rushed but also I don't want this to be something "serious" there's like 10 people in this fandom and it would be nice if everyone joined! I'd then make (another) side acc to share all little dudes created :if you're interested reblog would be appreciated to share the word!

[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

(tag!anon again) Thank you! I appreciate the immense effort you put into entertaining the rabid masses with polls <3

You're welcome! And thank you. :)

I'm going to use this ask as a jumping off point to make a masterpost of the tags in use.

The original posts get collected into rounds, and reblogs don't go into these tags (but statistic and chaos-causing posts sometimes do). So far we have #Preliminaries, #Round 1, #Round 2, #Round 3, #Round 4, #Round 5, #Round 6, #Round 7, and finally #Round 8.

The original posts will have more variations on character and podcast names, in order to show up in the tumblr-at-large search results.

Propaganda reblogs will be tagged with #Propaganda, #[Character Name], and #[Podcast Name]. There will be two character tags if the character has an accent in their name, and some of the podcasts get both an overall podcast tag and a campagin-specific podcast tag (but not all of them).

#Anti-Propaganda is used for anti-propaganda. I try to only reblog things in good fun as I explain in detail here, but my sense of fun isn't everybody's sense of fun, so I suggest people blacklist that tag if it's something they don't enjoy.

#Results is for the winner announcements and some statistics. I reblog with the number of votes and the percentage the winner won because the website version of the blog (versus the dashboard version of the blog) doesn't show results.

#Statistics is for statistics. ^_^

#Mod Update is for updates from me, the moderator. I put stuff in here both about the brackets and about things going on with me that might interfere with my presence as pollrunner (for example, traveling for the eclipse and thus not being here for the final hours of Pickman vs Glenn Close.

#Rules has announcements for how the brackets are run.

#Not A Poll is for posts that aren't polls.

#Other Polls are for polls from other tournaments (I only reblog ones with podcast characters, feel free to send me any you find).

#Technically A Poll is for polls that I make that aren't head-to-head match ups.

#Podcast Networks is for my poll on podcast networks, a subject I don't know much about.

#Bonus Poll is for non-bracket match-ups that I am personally interested in, and may not be as impartial as I am for the actual brackets.

#Adaptations Poll is for polls about stories that were originally fiction podcasts and later adapted into other mediums. I'm always taking recs for this one!

#Friendless Bracket is for a hypothetical 32-entry redo of the Unscripted Bracket that would only happen if a Friends at the Table character wins the Unscripted Bracket. This did not occur, so this bracket will not exist. In 2024 I will have stricter limits for how many characters from a single podcast can enter the bracket.

#Eye Bracket is for the bonus bracket that will occur after the main tournament has finished, focused on podcast characters with an eye motif.

#Monster Bracket is another bonus bracket, this one focusing on uniquely powerful characters that straddle the line between divine and monstrous.

#fictionpodsexyperson is my attempt at finishing the bracket that inspired this blog. Carlos won that one too.

#AI Bracket is yet a third bonus bracket, about artificial intelligences.

#Honorary Mention are for characters that didn't make it into the brackets.

#Ask is for answered asks. I also tag these with the username of the person who sent the ask. This is not because I am keeping a record of you all, but rather because I've been on Tumblr since before @ mentions and before people got notifications when their asks were answered.

#Last Reblog goes up roughly 1 day before the poll ends. These are scheduled posts that have only the propaganda those characters started that round with.

#Weekend Reblog, #Monday Reblog, and I'm sure there will be others are midweek reblogs of the polls, assuming I have the time to make them. Round 1 took 5 days to post so did not get midweek reblogs.

#Post-Polls Reactions is for reblogging people's reactions to the results of polls.

#Mod Interferes is for when I make an announcement during an ongoing poll in an attempt to get an interesting outcome.

#Love Wins is for ties. :)

#Voter Fraud covers what is and isn't allowed during these polls.

#Art Propaganda is for art that was added as propaganda, made in response to the polls, or that was sent to this blog to reblog.

#Masterpost is for big long posts like this one that I might edit and add to over time.

#Actual Play Rec List is for all non-D&D actual play podcasts and games.

#Listen List is for podcast recommendations.

#Valentine's Day is for childhood style valentines, and will only be posted in when it's February 14th somewhere in the USA. If you find any I haven't reblogged feel free to send them to me at any time, and I'll save them in the drafts until next year.

#Tumblr Bracket FAQ is for posts about running a tournament.

I will update this post as I remember or create other tags.

Basically Everything to Know.

Hi! I'm Natie, I use she/her pronouns. I post mostly fanfiction but I occasionally post other things too. My AO3 and Writing Feedback Form (if you've read any of my fics, I would appreciate you taking the form) are both liked in my bio, along with my sideblog where I reblog stuff! and talk a lot!

Requests are allowed! Send me a request with a prompt and a ship! If If you don't know a prompt, you can just ask for a ship. I'll write a oneshot for you! Use the SEND ME A REQUEST to send anything (questions are also allowed). I won't write everything I get asked, only what I have motivation and interest for.

My sideblog is for reblogs and shitposts. This blog is for fanfiction, polls, and reblogging stuff that's important (like spreading awareness). Although my old posts probably have some dumb shitposts on them. SEND ME FIC REQUESTS ON MAIN! SEND ME DUMB ASKS ON MY SIDEBLOG! I'll probably still answer them if you send them on the wrong account, but if you can try submitting to the correct blog that will help me out. Thank you!

Fanfic lengths -> Ficlet -> less than 1000 word oneshot Oneshot -> 1000-5000 word oneshot. Oneshot with a preview and link to read in full on AO3 -> greater than 5000 word oneshot Multi-chapter stories will only have the links.

Right now, I'm pretty much only posting Total Drama stuff. If you followed me for TOH or SVTFOE or DT, you should probably unfollow. I doubt I'm going to talk about them for a long time.

On my AO3, it's clear I have series for every total drama fic I write. Certain fics are connected through that series. On Tumblr, I tag everything under the series name. I have two currently, so theres a tag for each series:

"natie wawanakwa high school fics" - Wawanakwa High School series, Noah/Cody. Complete.

"natie hometown fics" - Hometown series, being rewritten currently only Alejandro/Tyler. Incomplete.

and of course "natie old hometown fics" is the original series with Cody/Trent and Courtney/Gwen. Marked as complete because I won't be writing any more for it.

Anyways, bye!

Do/Would you kiss with your tongue?

This may be a lil odd question but I'm curious, and so I come for the people of tumblr to answer!

This thought has clung to me since a friend (we're brazilian) has been living in the US for a couple of years now, and during his time there (or at least, where he's currently living), he's found out that people don't really like kissing with their tongue as we're used to. It's mostly a smooch, or a long smooch, only with the lips touching, that seems to be the norm.

And that was a bit of a culture shock to me, I expected it to be overall very common, worldwide, and more so a matter of personal/individual preference. But I guess I may be wrong!

This is ofc a kiss applied with romantic/sexual interest. And I'm not using the term "french kiss" because apparently, we thought that was tongue kissing, but all of my friend's partners claimed their kind of kiss was french kissing with no tongue involved… So I just want myself to be very clear here.

Please put your answer and where you're from in the tags! You can also say why you do/don't if you like! This poll is for everyone regardless of gender and sexual orientation. If you feel like this doesn't apply to you in any manner, I'd appreciate if you could at least reblog to reach more people! Thanks in advance!
