By the way if you’d like to update pico’s Spirit design completely up to you

(Ya don’t gotta answer. I’m a super secret person ya would never guess who I am🥸)

How’d you know he’s been on my mind lately mystery person that is totally not Coko huehue

The only tweaks I made for his look was longer ears, a lion’s like mane cuz cmon that’s just cute, and different eye markings but it might change cuz I’m still indecisive on one I want to settle with. And the fun part is you can go crazy with the foliage that grows on his back, there’s no specific one way to do it cuz just like nature, it’s inconsistent and all over the place :D

Some additional stuff I wanted to add onto him. He himself is only tethered to the forest, he can’t leave it whatsoever. Maybe it’s cuz he’s the guardian of it or maybe just some unexplained mystical mojo is at play, but all he knows is he can’t step foot outside the forest. Another thing is the way he laughs, kinda similar to sounds regular opossums make, he gives off a “ch” noise. Also he’s always gonna be dirty and covered in dirt and grass stains and not really care about how he looks. But if those he’s assisting want to offer a lil groom he’s not gonna refuse. He quite likes flower crowns :3

OH and his favorite resting place is a giant weeping willow tree cuz those are my favourite trees to place in a fantasy setting >:0

(your babie is so cute I couldn’t resist adding him again @cokoweee )

comparing malevolent and venom (or: why private eyes and symbrock are the same ship in different fonts)

spoilers ahead for the venom movies, various venom comics, and s1 of malevolent!!

Arthur is a PI, Eddie is an investigative journalist. Both of them ran into their body mates through their investigations (specifically movies!Eddie, comics!Eddie does not share this origin)

The Entity takes the name John through experiences with Arthur. When Arthur is in a coma for a month, the nurses don’t know his name and refer to him as John Doe. The Entity notices this and finds solace in it. When Arthur wakes, the Entity tells Arthur to refer to him as John. In the Venom comics, their collective name “Venom” came from Eddie being deranged about losing his job as a reporter. He tells Peter to call them Venom, because that’s what he’s paid to write at the shitty tabloids he’s employed at.

(from Amazing Spider-Man #300 [1963])

Though the Venom Symbiote has a name from its home world, many characters throughout the comics refer to it as Venom, implying they kept the name Eddie gave them.

In episode 9, John and Arthur argue until they give each other the silent treatment, leading to them getting caught by the police because John did not warn him there were officers. After realizing they need to work together, John and Arthur escape from the officers (and the supernatural lake monster). Towards the end of that episode, John tells Arthur that “you and I are one, and I need to begin to see us as one.” In Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Venom and Eddie have a rather dramatic break up that ends with them separating from each other. Eddie then gets arrested and brought in as a suspect in Cletus Kassidy’s escape. Venom, in Anne’s body, comes back and breaks Eddie out of police custody. After some apologies from Eddie (though if you ask me Venom also should’ve been apologizing but alas) they bond with each other again. Later through the power of love symbiosis, Venom and Eddie acting as one are able to defeat Carnage.

In episode 12, it’s revealed that John is a fragment of The King In Yellow. The cult gives the King the ability to fully realize itself and take over Arthur’s body, but the King is unable to. The part of itself, John, has become so entangled with Arthur that it cannot fully erase Arthur from itself. In the Venom 2018-2021 run (I know, I’m drawing on Cates. i cannot believe I’m using him to prove a point), the King in Black, Knull, is trying to take over Earth. It corrupts symbiotes, makes them nothing more than servants for it. Knull was unable to corrupt the Venom symbiote specifically because it could not burn the light (Eddie) out of it.

(from Venom 2018 issue 3; 5)

Other smaller similarities between Malevolent and Venom (some of which I only noticed because I’m insane):

guy named Eddie

Arthur chokes someone out while not in control of his left hand (episode 2); Venom chokes Dan after taking control of Eddie’s left hand (Venom 2018).

both John and Arthur and Eddie and Venom bicker like old married couples

Arthur and movies!Eddie are just,,,, such pathetic wet cats of men

[elliesgaythoughts]

i love you writing for trans ellie so much!

but doesn't calling her 'daddy' in those fics maybe feel a little odd? like she's still perceived as something 'male'.

this is absolutely no hate! i love all of your fics sm. just curious about your insight on this :)

i get where you’re coming from fr, I personally look at daddy as a gender less term. To me it’s just a pet name straight up, that’s it too me.

The same could be used with baby if you look into it too much, why tf you calling someone a baby??😭

But what I think it is, is that trans Ellie is such a delicate topic bc the last thing we ever wanna do is in anyway make a trans woman fell less than a woman, there’s enough people doing that in this world so we overanalyse everything and nitpick at our fics in fear of othering our women.

But I will take what you said into account and probably stray from using that word if it’s gonna make some of you feel some type of way (bc I love y’all and I’d never wanna make my lil boo’s feel like I’m not thinking of them and trying to take their feelings into account🤍)

(But also I’m like fighting two arguments in my head bc no one bats an eye when non trans Ellie is called daddy so I’m kinda like would trans women want us to tip toe around the term or would that make them feel off, like bitch just call me daddy tf😭)

Girl I just realised I also called her mama in the fic😭 (I’m a mixed bag fr)

my brain does this I always have to sides to what I’m trana say and I never know who’s right

[misc-obeyme]

I’ve always been curious but how do you get the different font colours that aren’t the standard 7? I’m relatively new to tumblr and have seen people using it but have never figured it out for myself.

Well, anon, you have to be on desktop to do it, so if you're on mobile, the standard options are the only ones you got, I'm afraid!

But if you're on desktop, there's a little gear in the top right hand corner of the post that you can click to get into the post settings. There's a drop down option that allows you to switch from Rich Text to HTML. Then you use HTML to change the colors of various words!

I personally like to bold them as well, but you can switch back to the preview to do that if you want. I used to prefer the gradient on all caps, but I actually think it looks good either way. So I've switched it up a bit.

Oh yes, but the gradient is a bit more complicated, if you're interested in doing that specifically. Single color is easier.

But I wrote it all out in this post right here! So you can see how to do it if you like! In case you're not going to do the gradient, though, here's the code I use for colors:

<span style="color: #hexidecimal">whatever text you want that color goes here</span>

Where it says "hexidecimal" you'll just put the hexidecimal for whatever color you want. For instance, the green I always use is #2fbfc0.

Gradient uses the same code, but alters the color hex just a little for every letter in the text. But you can do it a lot easier by following the instructions in the post I linked!

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Phullo it is I again!

I am very glad that you actually responded and given me an actual advice since I was worried about the question I sent you.

Though besides that I have another question for you (hoorayyy)!

So, about the reading books earlier- I’m fortunately a bookworm too! It’s just that I notice I prefer reading the genre science fiction/psychological horror more than… anything else!

And while the books I am currently reading, ‘Flowers For Algernon’ and ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ (these books are seriously so wonderfully made they make want to tear my walls), DO have romantic aspects of it- it’s not really the main plot of the story..

‘Flowers For Algernon’ has amazing storytelling and is very unique- though I’m not sure if you’ve read it before but, it’s actually just the main character taking notes. Hence why there was a lot misspellings which honestly makes it a great touch if you know the context behind it.

On the other hand, ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ too shares the same uniqueness as the other, possibly even more unique if I must say so myself. Though I REALLY don’t want to make my story similar to them since I want to make it more heart warming than fucked up..

Which is why I feel like I have the need to borrow or buy at least one romantic book because, I lack of it. I mean I accidentally borrowed it one time but it was kind of disappointing.

I don’t know if its a good idea and if I should do it or not since does it really matter of the genre, or just the writing?

Still, if you have any good books that are in the romance genre. Feel free to recommend some to me!

-lots of love, from another bookworm

welcome back! happy to hear you're a bookworm as well <3 im writing those titles down since i read a criminal lack of sci-fi despite loving it

i actually don't have any straight up romance recs - i don't actively search it out (outside of fanfic), so any romance i read just comes with whatever book i've picked up. just straight up romance bores me, unless its a fic with a pairing i actively like. and even then, i need to take breaks from it unless the romance is interspersed with an actual plot. im not a romantically-geared person! i dont have single Main Plot Is Romance book on my shelves!

but imo its really just the quality of writing that helps. ive never been in a romance, im the child of two different divorces, and yet ive been told that i write romance fairly well. go fuckin figure lmao.

so actually my advice on romance is to just like. wow idk what i do is pick apart the romances i see on tv / in writing. what makes them good together, how do they act around each other, what are their love languages, what's their dynamic, what traditional romance things do they partake in, what dont they partake in, do they have anything nontraditional, do they work and why do / they dont they - does that make their relationship more interesting or is it flat. are they a good match.

you don't have to have every answer, but ive found that at least understanding their characters / dynamics, and having them interact in a way that suits them will help your romance feel natural. dont conform to tropes or tradition, that will just make the relationship flat and unrealistic. and you can always sprinkle in little things that you like / would like, which will help ground the romance and get you into the groove

tldr with romance, i think it's better to observe real life (whether that's paying attention to couples or reading reddit threads) & analyze in-love or in-a-relationship characters instead of just reading romance novels. bc honestly, and from what i can tell, they can tend to be over the top or cookie cutter

just realized you did not explicitly ask for romance advice! Oopsie! i got a little carried away here....

[saltpixiefibercraft]

amy advice/resources for someone interested in learning to weave? i already knit but your gorgeous dishcloths make my fiber-loving self DROOLand i want more things to do with yarn

Knitting was how I got sucked into fiber craft so many years ago, and boy howdy what a vortex that was lol. I only started weaving around the middle of 2020 (I just got absolutely lost in the sauce and ended up with 2 floor looms and a table loom somehow up to now???), and I would love to share some of the stuff that definitely helped me as I guess worked my way through it all.

I started weaving on a 16" Ashford rigid heddle loom, and those are a great, somewhat cheaper option to start off with. I used a bunch of Kelly Casanova's courses to learn how to do it all, and a gratuitous amount of youtubing and googling. Another fun youtube resource Is Felicia Lo from SweetGeorgia who just has a lot of fun videos about weaving and weaving adjacent stuff.

For more floor loom related stuff, which is what I use to make my dishtowels, I cannot stress enough how much the Jane Stafford School Of Weaving means to me because oh my god. I was ready to scrap and sell my first floor loom simply due to tension issues but with those videos Saved That Loom (hint hint it was meeeee that was messing it up when I was putting my warp on the loom WHOOP) and her videos on color theory, how to plan warps, different forms of weave structure,,, it's all so amazing.

But yeah, as a yarn lover I have found weaving to be one of the most engaging, fun, enjoyable ways I've ever worked with yarn in. And there are soooo many ways to weave! Tapestry weaving, Inkle Looms, Tablet weaving.... I can't wait to dip my toes into working in those mediums, but my floor looms are my current babies.

[Also, hint from me about acquiring floor looms, I literally, in a fit of madness at 3am found myself on craigslist of all places and found my 4 shaft, 6 treadle Lilstina for 500$. I picked it up 2 days later in a stealth operation with my brother, whom was not told the nature of our mission. We got there and I just hear him look at the loom and groan. "You've made me an accomplice. Mom's gonna murder us BOTH" It was excellent. A solid sturdy loom to learn on.]

I will also link one of my favorite FB groups to look at for fiber equipment! The Weaver's Marketplace is a fantastic resource for finding used fiber equipment.

F/O Imagine/Question

Thinking about Adult Online Shopping with your F/O(s). Like, not even searching for toys to use together- you were just casually looking for something new for yourself, your alone time, and your F/O(s) just happen to walk by and get curious. Did they know before you that you masturbate? If not, how do they feel about it? Are they shy about looking at this stuff with you? Do they try to initiate funky time because of this? Are they cool an casual?

Now imagine actually going to the adult store with them XD

Girl help I've acquired possibly yet another expensive hobby

So I may or may not have spent a good chunk of my day trying to learn how to look into onis code and while I may not have yet succeeded I will likely keep fucking around with shit tomorrow and if I manage to succeed it'll spell great doom for my sanity as oni becomes the interest I've officially poured the most effort into analyzing

[leon-swedfinqs]

Hello!

I just found your DND au and just hjlhryfxcuy I love it.

Would in your au Aziraphale and Crowley also just instantly know Muriel is from the church like they just instantly knew in canon they were an angel?

:0 Hello!!! I’m glad you like it!! I’ve been trying to post about it more and my partner and I wanna outline a fanfiction possibly, so feel free to indulge haha

So Muriel’s role in the AU/story is interesting! To answer your question simply: well…sorta :).

Muriel was sent out by the church’s bishops to find Aziraphale and report back about his whereabouts after he was banished for his magic. The bishops wanted to know how advanced he was with magic, and if there could possibly be a way to bring him back to the church.

In the show’s canon, Muriel is the same age as Aziraphale and Crowley (to our knowledge), however for context for the AU, Muriel is roughly 15 years younger than Aziraphale. The two of them did know each other back when Aziraphale was still serving, but it has been roughly two decades since he left, so his memories of what his brothers and sisters looked like is a bit muggy.

Muriel was specifically sent out on this investigation mission because they hadn’t earned their halos yet, so they could blend in to the crowds a lot easier and be inconspicuous. When they started following the team around, Aziraphale and Crowley weren’t very suspicious of them at first. They just seemed like a sheltered young adult excited at the prospect of seeing wandering adventurers, and kept following them around out of pure curiosity.

What ticked Aziraphale off was when he saw Muriel watching a bard perform magic in a town square while performing, and he went to go talk to them.

“It’s fascinating, isn’t it?” Aziraphale smiled as he approached the curious follower. “I’m not sure if you had a bard back in your old town, but it’s one of the most intricate convocation types a person can study. It’s an art mixing beautiful music with intent and inspiration.”

“Oh, I had no idea magic wasn’t completely evil…” they muttered. “Singing is one of my favorite things! And just with that someone can cast spells…?”

The wonder and awe at the realization that magic was something beautiful waved a red flag for Aziraphale, as it reminded him of the old rhetoric that would be preached during sermons. It made him a bit more wary about their new traveler.

Over the course of their mission, Muriel would continue to slip up and say something that caused Aziraphale alarm.

Calling him out directly about his daily prayers, asking him who he was praying too.

Occasionally they would say something that would again fall within the rhetoric, something that was just slightly off coming from someone who “just came from a small town”.

What finally confirmed those fears was when Crowley approached him one day (Muriel has been traveling with them for months now) with a smug smile on his face, holding what looked to be one of Muriel’s notepads.

“Look, listen — I’m not a softie, but this kid makes it really hard to put up the front sometimes,” he laughed as he draped over the couch Aziraphale was currently lounging on, catching up on his reading between missions.

“Hm? What’d they do now? Were they playing with Crawly?” Aziraphale hummed.

(Crawly is Crowley’s pet snake. Technically, he named himself after the snake, not the other way around)

“They let me borrow their notepad when I was trying to cook earlier, because I wanted to record the recipe in case it came out really nice. I know I shouldn’t but…I did look at a few of the pages,” Crowley admitted. “They seem to adore everyone, writing down facts about the things they like. Like, here: ‘Anathema is quite akin to a nice cup of jasmine tea in the evenings. When she’s with Newt, she takes it with two sugars, as he tends to steal the cup sometimes and finds it bitter without them’.”

Aziraphale giggled. The two have been getting very close recently, and he’s been finding it quite endearing.

“They seem to especially look up to you,” Crowley grinned. “Like here, it says ‘Brother Aziraphale is very particular about keeping the living room tidy. He doesn’t seem to get annoyed when I help him clean up after mission debriefing, I’ve even heard him hum along sometimes’. You’re a brother to them Angel.”

As Crowley nudged his partner with his elbow to sorta egg him on, Aziraphale sat frozen, staring down at his book. The dots seemed to connect in his brain in that very instant.

It took some time for them to realize that Muriel was actually part of the church, but once the truth came out things became a bit…rocky and difficult.

But don’t worry! Things do work out, the tension doesn’t last very long :3c

[corpus-chorus]

wassup howdy its me i saw in the tags of the howd you pick your username post that you wanted to change ur ao3 user and is that a thing you can do and also how do i do that bc my ao3 is so old and bad and not lasagna related at all (bad)

Lmaoooooo, yeah I feel that struggle XD

But yes, you can change your AO3 username! It will break any links you have to your AO3 profile or works list, since the username is used in the URL, but otherwise you can do it once every 7 days.

Check out AO3's FAQ section on name changes for more info and steps, but here's how I know to change it:

Go to AO3 and go to your dashboard from the top right

2. Go to "Profile" in the top left

3. Go to "Edit My Profile" in the bottom right

4. Go to "Change User Name" in the top right

And then you can change it from there!

I might also suggest what I'm doing, which is adding my old username back as a pseud and then putting all my old works under that pseud so that it'll show like "old username (new username)" on those works. That way people aren't super confused when they come back to those fics and see the name change, but none of my new works will have to be attached to that username.

[lanawinterscigarettes]

It says threesomes/foursomes on the kinktober list - do you do _____ x ____ x reader type of stuff or is it threesomes with unnamed/background characters?

I do character x reader x character stuff! So like poly relationships and the like. This could include something like the reader being (consensually) forced to watch as two other characters get off without them, or the reader and a character filming themselves in a sexual act for another character to see. The possibilities are endless imo

[theothersideofhim]

((You gotta show/tell me about your Stan's references now))

((OH GEEZ okay so here's the deal I don't think he ever really been drawn? (edit: he HAS BEEN it's just been so long i lost track of a lot of stuff and what tags were what) So I wouldn't be able to put a ref sheet together but--

In his human form he's basically Steve Buscemi. Short, ugly, sunken iconic eyes, thin hair. He likes to dress "western" for this particular millenia? Bolo tie (that still has a bit of Lucifer's heart shard in it's center) and cowboy boots and everything.

When he's not in host he's... more abstract.

Thin, pitch black skin all over, not many other markings or variations. A burnt out hole in the wall given sentience. A sleep paralysis demon without the hat.

He can grow as tall or as tiny as he likes, but likes very much to get BIG AND TALL. Like, skyscraper tall. Two big ram horns, no tail or wings, but one big toothy mouth in his stomach.

Everything else kinda shifts as needed. His true form is really....chaotic yet simple at the same time.))

MOMENTS WITH YOUR PREGNANT BELLY w/Jujutsu Kaisen  

( CW ) f!reader, reader is pregnant(duh), tooth-rotting fluff  

Featuring: Gojo Satoru, Toji Fushiguro, Nanami Kento, Geto Suguru 

author's note: short rewrite from my old blog

☾ GOJO SATORU 

"Toru, stop splashing my stomach!" you exclaimed at your playful husband, attempting to push the lukewarm bathwater onto your stomach, inadvertently splashing your face. "But she likes it, look!" he exclaimed with a huge smile as your daughter continued to kick your stomach. "I don’t need to look; I can feel it," you rolled your eyes. "Feels like she’s trying to break my ribs." You let out a little grunt when she kicks a particular spot. Satoru shoots a worried glance at you. "Are you alright?" he asks, rubbing smooth circles on your stomach. "I'm okay; she just keeps kicking the same spot," you gave him a small smile when he leans down to kiss your belly. "Hey now, take it easy on your momma, or no more splashes for you," he mummers to your stomach. As if your daughter understood, she stops and starts gently kicking in another area. "Look, Angel, she listened to me!" he exclaims before pushing more water into your stomach. "Toru! You got water in my nose!" 

☾ TOJI FUSHIGURO 

"Are you okay, beautiful?" Toji inquired, concern evident in his eyes as he observes you holding your stomach with a furrowed expression. "Just a big kick from the baby," you struggle to get out, your stomach contracting. "C'mere--lemme make you feel better, baby," he whispered, sitting up on the headboard of the bed and pulling you between his open legs. "What are you doing, Toji?" You question as your husband reached towards the nightstand to grab something. "Makin’ my girl feel better–just lay down and relax," he whispers in your ear before placing a gentle kiss on your shoulder. With the cramps becoming unbearable, you had no other choice but to obey. Eyes squeezed tight, body resting on Toji’s toned chest, you tense when he starts to gently massage your stomach with what feels like lotion. A moan of relief escaped you involuntarily. "That’s right, let me take care of you," he mummers, continuing the soothing massage. 

☾ NANAMI KENTO 

"Are you ready to taste heaven, babies?" Nanami smiles warmly at your stomach as if expecting your unborn twins to give a response. Quickly, he leans down and places two affectionate kisses on your stomach, one for each baby. "C'mon, Kento, ’m hungry!" you pout, crossing your arms over your chest. Nanami was supposed to be giving you new food items that he found online, but the more he talks, the more it seems like he's eager for his children to be the taste testers rather than you. "You know they can’t actually give you a review, right?" you question your husband, but he ignores your sass and reaches for a plate. "Duh, ‘course I know that, but they're still going to taste it inside of you," he says as if it's the most obvious thing. "Yeah, all mashed up and mixed with a bunch of different foods. Now, give me that plate–I’m hungry!" you insist, reaching out for the plate as your husband laughs. 

☾ GETO SUGURU 

"I don’t think they like me," Suguru grumbles, and you laugh as your unborn child tries and fails to kick their father's head off your stomach. "Hell," Suguru yanks his head up and glares at your protruding stomach. "Hey, don’t cuss at my baby," you laugh. "I wouldn’t have to if my baby wasn’t trying to give me a concussion," he rolls his eyes dramatically before rubbing his calloused fingers on your stomach, The baby kicks at his hand. "Don't be so dramatic, Sugu," you roll your eyes at your husband as he continues to tease your child with his hand. "How do you think I feel when they’re kicking my bladder at three AM?" you laugh. "You better not come out as moody as your mommy," he taunts before pressing a soft kiss on your stomach. "I’ll give you whatever you want when you come out if you let me lay down in peace, deal?" he whispers to your stomach, and all he gets is a harsh kick. "Deserved.” You huff out.

Man I wanna play Balder's Gate 3. Unfortunately my laptop is a piece of garbage and can barely run Minecraft

I understand the feeling, I only recently (admittedly it's been like two years now, but still feels new) got a laptop that could do more than wheeze opening more than three Firefox tabs.

Good news, it's out on consoles now. Bad news, I have no idea if that helps you.
