note; these were so fun to make so making another 🫶🏾

Whenever you random remind Kyle how much you love him, he looks at you to shut up not because he's annoyed because he can't take the warm confession.

"I know we're dating but I actually have the biggest crush on you."

"This is the 5th time you've told me this in an hour"

"Yeah I know"

Kenny accidentally found this 'sex chocolate' and mistaken it for regular chocolate he was acting hornier than usual, once you found out you were terrified of this horny teenager.

Since cartman is so damn short you like to tease him about it even though you're like 2 inches taller than him.

fruit roll up.

"What?? No you can't wrap a fruit roll up around it."

"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KYLE"

Kenny would ecstatic if you ASKED to do that

"Do you think you could put a donut on it??"

"Wanna try?"

"Yes."

You know what I see Kyle being a legend of Zelda fan, it just really makes sense.. (he jst like me) he's a nerd.

You like to watch him play, resting your head on his shoulder.

Stan has a GREAT sense of style, you like to wear his clothes sometimes even match the baggy loser fits together.

You and Kyle helped Stan bleach his hair one random Friday night.

"I look like my dad guys.."

"Let's bleach your hair, babeee"

"Totally, I'll help too."

Cartman likes to take 0.5 of his friends and you, laughing his ass off later.

You always somehow find red/orange curly hairs on your pillow, clothes, and everywhere in your room.

You're always confused because Kyle only comes to your house 2 times a week you usually go over to his.

Kyle got accepted to a university out of South Park, it was hard saying goodbye to him. But he called you anytime he could, keeping you updated and checking on you.

Kyle's hands are always freezing when you guys hold hands, you like to hold both of his hands to help warm him.

Kyle plays mm2 on roblox with you and Stan.

it's a little bit surreal to me to see a brand new zelda game that's post-botw era and not really related to the botw era entirely. like i spent so long waiting for totk that that's still The Newest Zelda Game to me and i'm over here kinda like "wdym there's another, newer one already?"

Remember that fandom is a community! Reach out to each other and learn something new! Give someone a compliment! Ask them a question! Encourage new artists and writers who are still learning! Thank you Mint for doing the survey again, too!

The fact no one has thought of calling Warrior's Zelda, "Areia" hurts me deeply "Hyppolita" even, please, with how much shipping there is between them, people sure are eager to name her after goddesses who have vowed to never have romantic relationships.

I dont think the fandom talks about it but i really love that every single piece of sky clothing is embroidered, because unless skyloft has embroidery machines thats all hand done. Which means either someone he knows makes a lot of them and gives them out freely (i give most of my projects to friends and family) or he would have paid someone for it, which means that either someone on skyloft lives of decorating clothing (and likely other fabrics) or someone just uses it to get some extra money (both are amazing since in the modern day people dont want to pay for handcrafted works what its actually worth)

No but the Athena/Artemis thing is so real. What’s up with that. Why did we pick Artemis? Why did we do that?

I find it so funny how the fandom has decided to call Dark Link "Dink" because whenever I play a Zelda game I name my character Dink or Dinkus :D I started doing this waaaaay before I knew about LU

Im so excited for Echos of Wisdom! I find it really funny that Nintendo keeps making it harder for JoJo to stick to the plan, I'm pretty sure it's Legend and Fable but I'm not certain any ways Im really happy!

I love how LU is a culmination of so many of my favorite tropes from other fandoms! It’s been really comforting and nostalgic for me despite the fact that I only got into it this year. Especially since so many creators I liked have been getting revealed as problematic, it’s nice to be able to fall back on fictional characters who can’t ruin the lives of real people. :)

im so sorry youre having troubles with double booking (the actual term for the 'i know this isnt real logically but it is real actually' jic you didnt know it) i feel like. thats one of the worst states to be in. id offer a hug but idk how much youd want one rn

are there any other games you play/enjoy in general other than legend of zelda? i cant remember you ever mentioning any, but i was curious if you're just a general gamer who just really enjoys one series, or if loz is an exception to not really enjoying video games or something. if you do enjoy any specific games, which ones and why? if not, is there a reason loz stands out among them all?

thanks so much. i got home after my lovely double booking (had no idea it was called that) and took my back up antipsychs and slept for like 4 hours before going to class. i really appreciate all of yall coming into my inbox and being so kind, it means so much <4 (<3 + 1)

im not much of a gamer at all. i grew up not being able to afford consoles, but my best friend had a gamecube and her favorite game was wind waker, so it was literally the only game i ever played for a very long time. but i loved the lore of windwaker, the fantasy and the princesses and gods, and i pretended link was secretly a girl the whole time and no one knew that he wasn't a 'real boy' (classic egg things), and i was into manga, so i begged my ma to get me one of the loz manga and fell in love with the series' lore even more. i still have my copy of minish cap's manga, the first manga i ever read!

i suck at gaming- I'll be the first to admit that im not very good at puzzle games, and even worse at combat, and now with my hand tremors i cant play most controllers. it takes me ages to finish games, and I've basically only finished ds/3ds ones bc it's easiest to steady my hands on those. that means that it's harder to get into new games since i rely on other people playing them. watching let's plays stresses me out, im constantly on edge for slurs and shitty remarks, so i tend not to watch those, and w the ADHD, silent playthroughs are a no-go. at least with zelda, i know every game forward and back in my sleep, so it's just easier to enjoy myself while failing to play them than if i start new games, ya know? still, i WILL finish skyward sword one day, tremors be damned!!!!

im honestly not sure why i latched so strongly onto loz. it's been a capital S special interest since i was at least 6 and I've never fallen out of it, ever, it's on my mind 25/7. it was the first fandom i wrote fic for before even knowing fic EXISTED, and I've devoted far too much time to it. it is a very problematic franchise-- Nintendo is a shit company, the main villain is racist, the gerudo on their own even more so, there's so much Orientalism, it's just. awful. but i keep coming back to it. i try to be very critical and not enjoy it blindly, but it really is one of the few things that kept me happy when i was suicidal and fucked up as a teen. as cheesy as it is to say, link saved my little egg life

[smilesrobotlover]

Ok you had me till you said “legend of Zelda may not be for you” bit. Have you seen my blog? (Obviously not but my point still stands) I freaking love the games. In fact I’ve played like, a lot of them, I’ve almost played all the 3D Zelda games and I know how almost all of them end. And the twilight princess comment genuinely made me laugh cuz that’s literally my favorite Zelda game and the ending was such a gut punch that it completely stuck with me. That’s what I was saying, that I wanted an emotional impact. Yes the games are silly but they balance out serious moments and silly moments pretty well.

You have some fair points, I’ve seen people mention how sacrifice was the message of the game so that’s why I mentioned wanting sacrifice to be better written in, but community is actually a great message in the game and I truthfully didn’t think about it. But my point still stands. It was an unsatisfying game.

I feel like there are much better ways to make the ending better for me, and for others it may be different, but in every Zelda game there is something different in the end. A new world to explore, a character change, a character leaving, etc. you’re right that the endings aren’t all sad, and the problems do get solved which is another good point, but there’s at least something different with the games.

Yes in oot things go back to normal and Ganondorf doesn’t destroy Hyrule and all that, but the thing with that game is that you can feel that there’s something different. Link is a different person thanks to the tone of the ending, and Navi leaves. The companion who was with you the entire time just disappears without saying anything. That may not be a gut punch ending but it’s somber and confusing. Something is different with the characters. Yes totk was a happy ending and many of the games are but it was an unsatisfying happy ending to me because there didn’t seem to be many consequences at the end.

Im glad we can all agree that Link getting his arm back was a stupid and poor choice, but with Zelda just not having memories from being a dragon, that felt kinda cheap to me. Her permanently being a dragon would’ve been good to me personally (but I’m not completely sold on the idea cuz there are some good moments from her turning back) but I wish she could’ve at least been impacted from that. She could’ve been haunted from seeing thousands of years before her, or she could’ve been amazed at watching history unfold before her very eyes. Or something. Just something different. And yeah we have the sages but that doesn’t hit different to me.

I do get where you’re coming from with Zelda having a happy ending, she does deserve that. She’s suffered enough. But the dragon thing would’ve stuck with me the same way twilight princess stuck with me. And everyone mentioning the Royal bloodline and stuff, yeah that would be gone. The Triforce of wisdom isn’t gone tho. Just the blood of the goddess. Perhaps this could then be the legend of Zelda, a princess who was rumored to have the blood of Hylia but is now the dragon that watches the land or something like that.

Anyways things also could’ve worked with me if Link showed an ounce of emotion throughout the game. Idc what people say, he was insultingly emotionless throughout this game. He showed more emotion than in botw, but it wasn’t enough for me to be emotionally attached to anything. He doesn’t show emotion during cut scenes so it’s really hard for me to feel anything when Zelda is back to normal. He could’ve at least been relieved, or happy? But neither was there. That’s probably one of the reasons why I was unsatisfied with the ending.

But excuse me for being upset that an overhyped game had a weak story when it was shown to be something huge. The gameplay is fun and addicting, but for a highly anticipated game, I expected more. And I will shamelessly have high exactions for stories because low expectations I feel like are giving these big companies excuses to have lame stories. Gameplay is the most important thing for a video game, but I’m very story driven and so are most Zelda games. So I wanted more. I wanted a good story. But instead I got a messy story with many contradictions continuity errors. There were a few good moments I won’t deny that but I wish we got something better.

Actually I’m gonna rant about the end of totk now. The core message of the game appears to be sacrifice. Rauru sacrifices himself to seal Ganondorf away, Zelda sacrifices herself to be a light dragon and to restore the master sword, and even tho Link’s arm wasn’t lost in a sacrifice, he still lost it protecting Zelda and himself and the gloom just got the better of him. But the message of sacrifice does not shine through with these except for Rauru, because none of these things have consequences.

The ending was super unsatisfying to me because everything was returned to normal, and that’s not how sacrifice works. If they wanted to have this message they should’ve kept Zelda as a dragon, and if they didn’t want to do that then they should’ve kept Link’s arm gone and all that.

With both of them being fully restored, it defeats the purpose of sacrifice. Like yeah none of them expected for them to be restored, Zelda didn’t think that she’d turn back. But it still feels kind of cheap you know? There are no consequences for any of this, it almost makes the game feel pointless.

Every ending to a story needs something to be different. In botw, the champions are dead, forever. Link and Zelda are in a world that they are unfamiliar with, with almost everyone they know gone from the calamity. Their world changed and their lives changed. But with totk, nothing changed. Everyone’s still vibing, everyone’s alive except for Rauru, Sonia, and Mineru but they’ve been dead for a long time so it doesn’t even matter, and Zelda doesn’t even remember what happened to her as a dragon so that feels completely pointless. I was expecting her to be traumatized for seeing things for that long but no everything was fine and dandy and it made it so :/

I wish that Nintendo wasn’t scared to do the risky move and kept Zelda as a dragon to show that she really did sacrifice everything for that. It sad, it’s tragic, and completely selfless and I would’ve loved to see an emotionally devastating ending similar to twilight princess. Imo Zelda turning into a dragon was the best part of the story (I hate the story) so it would’ve really made the ending for me. And Link having his arm back makes absolutely no sense me and is kind of lame. Dude lost his arm, full send or no send.

Idk, I’m just unsatisfied with the ending. It could’ve stuck with me more if they did these things. I have such an intense love/hate with this game and the story is the thing I hate. Just… ugh.

[veethewriter]

If it isn't to much trouble may i have (male) haikyuu matchup please. My pronouns are she/her. Im a Capricorn, my Mbti type is infj-a/infj-t. I tend to be shy around new people but I can be somewhat loud with people who im close to. I have medium length brown hair, green eyes i wear round glasses,pale skin and a lot of freckles. My height is 5'0. My aesthetic would be cottegecore mixed with oversized sweaters. Im not very athletic and im not a big fan of sports but i love to go roller and ice skating. I also love to read books and to also cook and bake food. I also like to garden. I've been playing the violin for 6 years. I love animals and im planing on becoming a wildlife veterinarian. I like to Watch nature/animal documentaries. I also like sweets. Some things i dislike are people who bend or ruin my books and people who speak over me when im trying to talk. I like "cozy" video games like stardew valley,Minecraft,animal crossing, the sims. Im not a big fan of fighting games especially shooter games but i do like specific fighting games like genshin impact and legend of zelda. I love music, I can listen to any genre and like it but my favorites are indie,bedroom pop and classic rock. sorry if i spelt anything wrong. Hope im not bothering you :)

Of course you not bothering me!! And thank you for the ask!! I think you would go best with suga!! Also it's fine with the spelling, I'm bad at spelling too lmao.

You and suga actually meet when you bumped into each other outside of a cafe, when you two bumped into each other it caused him to spill his coffee all over the two of you. He quickly apologized and offered you the extra shirt he had on him for practice. You had asked him for a his number so you would have a way to contact him to give him his shirt back. That's how you two started talking.

After you and suga started to hang out at the cafe together ever do often, he started to get feeling for you and after a while eventually confessed. When you said yes he was so happy and decided to take you roller skating for your first date. Suga loves your cooking, he'll eat whatever you give him and he'll also try to cook for you as well in return. He'll try to help you in the garden but he doesn't really have a green thumb so sometimes he just watches.

If you play your violin for him, he would love it and clap for you after your done. Suga know you don't like being around strangers that much so he'll try to introduce you to his teammates one at a time. If you leave one of your books at his place by accident, he'll make sure to put it up somewhere safe where it won't get ruined. Suga also doesn't really care much for fighting games so he'll play all your favorite cozy games with you.

Suga will play most of your favorite music while cooking with you or even if you two are just hanging out. Whenever you are watching your animal documentaries, he'll lay his head in your lap and take a nap or if you want him to see one that you like a lot he'll stay up to watch it. Suga tries not to talk over to you, he doesn't like it when your mad at him so when he does, he'll immediately apologize to you. Suga may act like a mom sometimes and try to help you get things done or nag you by accident but trust me he only does it because he cares a lot about you.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you (if you want !! 💛💖)

Wow I rambled a lot with this but i can't add cuts bc I'm on mobile rn DHSISHSJ sorry :"))))

.

.

1. Ik Ik "haha how cringe are you" of me to say, but honestly? Homestuck. Homestuck helped me in a time of need and when i so desperately wanted something to latch onto. Finally, I caved into my friends telling me to read it-- and it's been a blast!! The epilogues / hs^2 make me feel kinda sad though, because so much of what I loved about the original was yeeted through the nine circles of hell and into the trash. I love Y/ffany's (I call her Yippi tho) design, the art is really pretty at times, Harry is a major dork, I LIVE for seeing Vrissy bc honestly?? Her design is 10/10, very early 2000s emo style and I also live for that. Tavros is cute and a nerd and I think that's swell!

But in terms of story and how any of this happens, it makes me sad to see it happen. If Vriska could return as Vrissy, why not OTHER beta trolls? Where's my Eridan fish man, writers?? Give me the boy or perish by my fury.

2. Also super "haha how cringe are you" but,,, murder cats (Warriors), esp the early 2005-2015 amvs and stuff. I remember watching Flightfootwarrior's "I Will Not Bow" Scourge amv for HOurs and having no clue what was happening, but all these edgy kitties were KITTIES! It's introduced me to a lot of music I still listen to to this very day (Imagine Dragons, Young/the entirety of Hollywood Undead, Breaking Benjamin). And yknow what?? This new arc is absolute chaos, but in the good way.

I'm an "OG Fan". I prefer the first arc, The Prophecies Begin, to almost any of the other arcs. I just could never get into the other arcs-- not to say I haven't read them, I HAVE and the Fire Scene was probably one of my favorite moments beside grumpy Jaypaw, god complex Lionblaze, and fear the gods Hollypaw. I thought the build-up for it was SUPER satisfying. Gray Wing is my baby and I fully embellish in the Gray Wing is Silverpelt theory.

This new arc is definitely something new for the universe. While I didn't read aVoS (but I may do that if i can find the files for it), and so I don't know the major events of it other than what I've seen M.A.P.'s (Multi-Animator Projects, for clarification,,, bc unfortunately that term is also something disgusting). There's fucking cat possession and all the Clans questioning their belief system, yo. Shit be on fire.

Also the Imposter is 100% Ashfur, that's canon now, yeah??? Also im sorry but fuck Root x Bristle that's the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Give me Root x Shadow or face the wrath of my dragon plushies.

RiverClan is my Clan and my gov assigned warrior name is Fireshell 🌟🌟

3. As much as I hate the author,,,,, Harry Potter. It's been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can never really remember why, but I've always just loved it- the movies, the books, the extra little merch that would pop up in my local Walmart. Of course my favorite character is Draco Malfoy. I could go on and on and ON about how I think his character arc was SHIT and JKR didn't have the balls to make him a confident gay man that was always implied through the text (at least, my lesbian ass thought it was implied but i may just be projecting, idk). I could ramble about Draco for HOURS and what I think his character SHOULD have been and how his parents are horrible (more specifically, Lucius bc Narcissa [?] Actually showed a few good moments), and a child should never have to pay for their parents sins.

Oh noo, Draco's a villain because he's a victim of major abuse and peer pressure? He's a villain because a literal child can be horrible and they'll always always always stay as a horrible little fiend?? Fuck that. He's a child.

Unlike manchild grease pan Snape, who was a racist piece of shit and shouldn't have became a fucking school teacher but it's okay because he was ~~~in love~~~. No, fuck you, he was a creep. James Potter n Co may have been a little posh bitch to you, Snape, but that's no fucking excuse to continue to bluntly be a little cunt all the way into adulthood. You're an adult who flatly changed your PATRONUS to imitate Lily's. You have no excuse. And Harry went and named his child after you LIKE JESUS CHRIST, DID RON'S SISTER NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE NAMES TOO?????

I also fully adore the idea that Muggles can run into Hogwarts and their patronus can 100% be a made up, fantasy creature. Imagine you learn the patronus spell and suddenly fucking ARCEUS comes from your wand. Imagine learning the spell and CHTULU (i did not spell that right but im so tired) comes from your wand-- an entire ass fucking Lovecraftian, Eldrith horror is just the embodiment of you. What if it was a fucking Homestuck character like Vriska? How fucking METAL would that be?? Hskajssowjjsjs get on it fandom.

4. Hee hee very evident by my url but Pokemon is another major thing of mine. While vespiquen isn't my favorite (that title goes to Hydreigon), it is definitely up there!

I've ALWAYS enjoyed the idea of Pokemon. You run around, training up these fight monsters and collecting them. I remember playing my sister's Ruby version on her flip-up Gameboy. I couldn't even read but I ran around catching god only knows how many of the same pokemon wherever she was. Apparently, I had fought for hours in the same area and leveled her Blaziken up to lvl 50 something and left her lvl 30s in the dust LMAO.

I got my first game when it was Pearl/Diamond. It was Pearl, and it still holds a very fond place in my heart. I could barely read, I could barely write-- I had named my Turtwig something along the lines of "MmorpHy" and my player boy "ZbsibJ". Yes I remember the names slightly. I really didn't get far-- I barely got to the first gym but I was just so happy to play it.

I eventually lost the game, as a 5 year old would do, but I can still vividly remember what was happening when the game arrived. I had just came back from the dentist and was quite tired from fighting the dentist bc I was super scared. Mom suddenly handed me a box and said it was mine-- my overseas (at that time) dad had bought me Pearl and my sister Diamond, because I lost my shit about it when he visited one time.

Well, tdlr, I played it for about five minutes while struggling to stay awake against the loopy gas they made me take. I fell asleep listening to Twinleaf Town's soundtrack. Every time I play a rom of Pearl and I get to where the player's house fades in and I hear that first tune of the song, I get a huge smile on my face and cry-- as.. Weird as it sounds.

A few years later, I had gotten Pokemon Black bc I liked Reshiram on the cover. Now, this one I could actually READ when playing, but I don't remember a lot of things about it. I probably lost this one too, as a 8/9 year old would do. I DO remember, I chose Snivy and my sister chose Tepig (hrmm there's a theme here of grass/fire goin on......) and vibing to the music. I was so amazed by the sprites moving, I just kept getting into encounters to see the sprites move (oh boy, no one tell younger 7-9 y/o me about Zelda......oh wait....)

Playing Pokemon NOW, as a 17 year old """gifted""" chick, I stil have very fond memories. I recently beat Pokemon Black again and GOD the OTS SLAPS. I fucking adore the soundtrack-- the track that plays when you battle a trainer, the low health dings being turned into a legit song that also slaps, the battle! gym leader themes-- and oh my gOd, the legendary theme is amazing? It really tells you just how glorious these pokemon are supposed to be. It's not intimidating like Groudon/Kyroge/Rayquaza's themes. It's not action packed like Palkia/Dialga's is, it's not filled with tension like Giratina/Arceus's is-- but it radiates the GLORY that the beasts portray. And I live for that. (Also, Kyurem's version is my favorite because it glitches in the beginning and that's rly cool)

P/D/P and BW/BW2's stories, imo, are some of the greatest ones. Yeahhh, US/USUM's is cool and I haven't played XY nor SwSh-- but the ones I can find memorable are PDP and BW/BW2. I love N. I love Barry. They're my sons. Ghetsis is fucking terrifying, Cyrus needs a hug. Giratina scared the piss out of me when I was younger, which was NOT helped by Giratina and The Sky Warrior.

I think my favorite movies are the gen 4 ones. The Rise of Darkrai having a tear-jerking theme for such a mysterious pokemon (i still tear up when i hear Ocarion), Giratina being spiteful is a mood and Shaymin was cute, Arceus being angry is also a mood. Yeah, Pokemon 4Ever made me cry my eyes out over Celebi, Mewtwo Returns made me again cry because Mewtwo accepting who he is, I remember how vastly different the BW movies are-

I just. I have a lot of memories with the series, even if Gamefreak and Nintendo kinda do the series dirty a lot (your top-grossing thing and you made That monstrosity for the Switch? How dare you.). It's comforting to be stressed and pull up my roms for the games and to play them. Mystery Dungeon is incredibly fun to play, Pokemon Ranger is really fun with the concept (Shadows of Almia continues to kick my ass to this very day and FUCK the Jungle Relic, I hate the Water Challenge fucking gyarados bullshit). I remember the pokemon I got for MD (I got Time, my sis got Darkness) was Mudkip, if that is any help.

I love my little fictional pixel monsters.

5. Yup, someone told tiny 7-9 y/o me about console games. The legend of Zelda. My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess on the Wii and BOY did I play the fucking SHIT out of that game.

Honestly, looking back and looking at playthroughs now-- I still love TP. Twilight Princess is still one of my top favorite Zelda games-- yes, even after playing OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, the anniversary four swords edition for the DS where you could play by yourself (Nintendo pls bring that back, I don't have friends to play it with ;-;), Phantom Hourglass- ect.

Something about Twilight Princess grabbed me by the head and yeeted me into the world. I can remember playing it for hours with little to no breaks. I, a tiny 9 y/o, had gotten the hang of the controllers and managed to get past the tutorial quite easily. And then, I was launched into the game and I wasn't stopping for NOTHING. Mom and Dad would have to force me to save and get off to go and eat dinner. THAT sucked.

I had done everything on my own up until the first temple, the forest temple. Not where/when you saved the dumb kid, but when you were saving the spirit's light. Theeeeeeennn I got stuck on the fucking Forest Temple for deadass six months straight. I'd play for hours, running around in circles, unable to figure out where to go, and because I didn't grasp the temple's purpose of being that way- I'd get angry and get off. It wasn't until dad looked up a walkthrough and talked me through what I was supposed to do that I learned how to get through temples.

I had gotten to the last little fight with Ganondorf before the Wii broke and i could no longer play. Despite the Wii being broke and we got rid of it, I was ADAMANT on keeping the game, and I kept that game for YEARS. It was an original copy out of a sealed box, and I eventually lost it when I left it accidentally at my now ex-friend's house.

She had a Wii and I went "hey I have a Wii game!" And I brought my Zelda over. Worst fucking choice of my goddamn life. Mom called me to come home and said I couldn't sleep over like the original plan was, and that was it. My ex-friend stashed my Zelda and I never saw it again. And, even if I wanted to-- I couldn't get it back, which makes me upset. We had a BAD falling out. She likely doesn't even remember it's there, or sold it to the local game junkie kid who buys ALL games.

But I still love the game. Midna was amazing, and I loved how snarky she was and she has a very cute design! The game's OST is fucking phenomenal. Midna's Desperate Hour makes me cry bc goddamn it really sells how serious that situation is. I love Hyrule Field's theme in this game. I love the Twilight Realm's song. Zant was fucking hilariously scary. Ganondorf's design in this game scared the piss out of me when I was younger.

Midna and this game's Link and Zelda are def my favorites. Yeah yeah, Sheik is cool and all I Guess but dhsushwishs Midna holds the special place in my heart. She was totally my gay awakening BUT

For other game antagonists, I adore Ghirahim-- let's go you funky little queer-coded villain. Skull Kid was great, I love the entire dynamic of him. Prankster lost soul stumbles upon Majora's Mask and the mask makes him act out due to powers-- which, I actually took very heavy inspiration from for one of my OCs. The moon falling to Hyrule was a fucking terrifying looming threat.

But the game series holds a place, and I've yet to be able to play BoTW-- although, I'm fairly certain I'll like it. The playthroughs I've watched of it are all fairly decent! I just. Gotta save up enough money to buy it haha.

Dang guess I gotta go watch a Twilight Princess playthrough again.

But fuck math, I cannot comprehend math to save my life.

For some reason, I rly like learning how the human body works??? like did you know, organs are actually sticky when touched by a bare hand?? Did you?? How fucking cool is that.

Bakugan. I love Bakugan, esp the DS game. I love my Darkus Leonidas. Give me back the online world, you peasants-- I want my Darkus Dragonoid. (Also fuck all my friends from when I was in kindergarten- my theory that Alice was Masquerade was somewhat correct.)

Bookmarks: two loves have i (34)

Comments: two loves have i (25)

9. Work I’m most proud of (and why):

on our way to twenty-seven! i was digging into some identity and sexuality issues that i myself have dealt with in the past and writing about it was the first time i’d really dove into some of that stuff, so i really enjoyed writing it and i think it’s some of my best.

i’m also really proud of i’m taking back the crown and i wish i could say why. i just really like the way it came out. writing oikawa as this desperate dethroned prince trying to reclaim his kingdom at any cost only to be beaten at his own game in his own home was just...ugh. it was so much fun to write.

10. Work I’m least proud of (and why):

one more time as if we planned it, definitely. i just felt super rushed writing it. it was for the one direction rarepair fest, which was super fun, but i had Just finished a longer fic a few days before this one was due and i initially tried to drop out because i thought i wouldn’t be able to finish it, but i did, but i still feel like it’s rushed and just not as good as it could have been if i’d planned better and given it some more time.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

im gonna do what i did last year and post more than one, because 1. i can’t decide and 2. i quite honestly am pretty proud of a lot of what i wrote this year

from when the letter says a soldier’s coming home —

Tooru’s squealing somewhere behind them, and Hajime’s gruffly trying to get out the door, and he’ll have to call the school and make up something about being sick so he can spend the day catching up with Daichi, but it can wait. It can all wait. Because Koushi’s waited long enough. It’s about time the rest of the world waits for him.

from strawberries on a summer evening —

Suga hums against him, licking strawberry seeds from between Daichi’s teeth, like he’s just as intoxicated by Daichi as Daichi is with him. Daichi could live here, in this feeling, ignoring everything except how Suga sounds (like bliss personified), smells (like sunblock and sweat), tastes (like sugar and salt). He’s the hottest part of the summer, high noon in mid-August, just this side of too much to handle, but addicting in how it leaves you at its mercy.

from on our way to twenty-seven —

“Sorry, what was your name again?”

Tetsurou opens his mouth to say his American name, but he catches Daichi and Suga looking at him, and he swallows it down. “My name is Tetsurou. Tetsurou Kuroo.”

“I thought you wanted people to call you Tyler,” Timothy says.

Tetsurou shoots him a glare and says it again, feeling his confidence start to grow. “My name is Tetsurou Kuroo. Tetsu is fine, too, but I don’t go by Tyler anymore.”

12. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

any time tasteofsummersnow left me a comment, it made my heart go doki doki!! her comments are so in depth and so very sweet and it’s so much fun to see her real-time reactions to my writing. i go back and reread them like once a week they’re so nice ;_;

13. A time when writing was really, really hard:

the spring/early summer in general was tough, like from march to june. i didn’t post anything between february and may, and i feel like i was struggling a lot creatively around like may/june of this year. i think it’s because a lot of stuff in the 1d fandom was really turning me off at the time and that’s when the burnout fully hit.

14. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:

definitely sugawara in the city is at war. i was writing that first chapter and initially i just wanted to see him step up when daichi wasn’t around but he very quickly turned sadistic and ruthless and scarily sharp, which is just so much fun to write him as. and his relationship with daichi is just—ugh. love that violence-fueled romance. they would kill a hundred men for each other and be turned on once they were finished.

honestly, all of the city is at war has surprised me. the idea came to me in a dream on a long bus ride, of all the clan leaders having a meeting and being attacked, and i woke up and banged it out in 36 hours. i meant it to be a oneshot but as i wrote it, i realized i loved the au so much there was no way i could leave it at that. so now it’s got a whole plot and all that. fun!

15. How did you grow as a writer this year:

last year i said i felt i grew writing angst and exploring different emotional themes, and i think i built on that even more this year. i did a bunch of shorter pieces this year and i feel a lot of them really explored emotions and characters more than plot, and that’s been so much fun. and then as well, like i said before, i’ve branched out into the crime-action genre with the yakuza au. and! iwaoi horror week was my first real attempt at spooky/creepy/horror-type writing, and, it was a fun challenge for sure.

i also said i wanted to just keep writing and be spontaneous and i definitely did that this year. i posted so many fics not caring how long it had been since the last one—sometimes it was less a day. numbers stopped mattering to me. i posted just because i wanted to put my writing out there and share it with the world, knowing there had to be someone out there who’d like it.

16. How do you hope to grow next year:

i feel like 2019 was a year of trying a lot of new things, so in 2020 i’m hoping to explore some different ships and tropes. the sheer number of characters and ships in haikyuu means there’s a ship for just about every trope and au out there, and i want to play around with some dynamics i’ve never written before.

17. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

as always, a shoutout to the loggies, who have been a fantastic source of inspiration and support all year even after i retired from 1d fic. and i would also like to thank the people i met via various hq discord servers—you know who you are!! thank you for the sprints, the encouragement, the inspiration, and the friendship. as someone brand new to the fandom, the support and sense of community has been nothing short of amazing, and you guys are part of the reason i felt so comfortable in this fandom so quickly.

18. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

actually, yeah. even mountains crumble into the sea was written the night before i broke up with my ex. i wrote it as an exercise to get all my feelings out, lay them all on the table where i could see them and pick through them, and then imagine the best possible way the scenario could go.

19. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

honestly—just write! write what you’re happy with. write even if you don’t post it. write, because everything you do is practice that’ll help you improve.

and don’t be afraid to write out of order or write more than one project at a time. i know that won’t work for everyone, but for me, if i didn’t immediately write what was on my mind, i probably wouldn’t have posted half of what i did this year.

20. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

hey remember last year when i said i was gonna finish the breath of the wild au?? L M A O i’m really gonna finish it next year i swear!!

i have a fic posting in the spring for the nsfw big bang which i’m ALSO very excited about! i’m lucky to be working with such a talented artist and the end result is gonna be amazing and i’m so so excited.

i also want to keep going with the city is at war, because that plot was a pleasant surprise. and there’s an ever-growing list of fic ideas and aus that i’m so excited to write—some of them were originally for larry aus but i’ve repurposed them for haikyuu pairings and that’s helped breathe new life into some old ideas.

21. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read.

anyone who sees this and wants to do it! just tag me, i wanna read your answers!

April 3rd-April 9th, 2019 Reader Favorites Archive

The archive for the Reader Favorites chat that occurred from April 3rd, 2019 to April 9th, 2019.  The chat focused on the following question:

What webcomic inspired you to get into webcomics?  Please tell us about your journey. 

lonelytuatara

there were several for me but I think Sakana was one of the biggest inspirations for me! http://www.sakana-comic.com/ since Mad talks a lot about her process with the comic it really helped make it feel less like some kinda magic that I didn’t know how to do and more like something I could try myself

RebelVampire

honestly i find this to be a difficult question. im old enough to remember when internet wasnt a thing. so when it became a thing, there were basically always webcomics. and it was just kind of like...a normal thing to be read on the internet just as much as anything else. i never saw it as a lesser medium as some ppl have experienced. it was just always there along with the internet so it always felt natural to me to read them if they seemed interesting. that being said, if i had to pick the first webcomic that ever made me stick around for a long time, it was Bleedman's Powerpuff Girls D fancomic. Besides the fact it was super popular at the time, i just thought it was really different. like the art popped a lot more than other comics at the time (that i knew of at least), the story was way less comedy more actually serious material, and just in general i enjoyed the story telling. https://www.snafu-comics.com/swmseries/powerpuffgirls/

Iris

homestuck was the biggest one for me, but others like Witchy, Lady of the Shard, and Tuppence for Stardust are also big inspirations

€heshire777

I kind of networked out from online newspaper comics into actual webcomics and beyond, it's kind of hard to tell but I think Skin Horse (http://skin-horse.com/) was pretty much the first webcomic I got into.(edited)

RebelVampire

cause a true hyperlink comes with the http part. http://skin-horse.com/

also please wrap the hyperlink in < and > so the embed is prevented. it keeps the chat cleaner @€heshire777(edited)

yes sorry XD

im multi tasking and didnt notice the wrong tag

€heshire777

S'fine

I know that guy from a different server too

RebelVampire

@Iris please make sure to link the comics next time https://www.homestuck.com/ http://witchycomic.com/ https://gigidigi.itch.io/lady https://tapas.io/series/tuppenceforstardust

Iris

oh crud, sorry. I'm tired and absent-minded this morning

Respheal

I'm a keenspace child apparently, 'cuz my first introductions to webcomics were Saturnalia (https://web.archive.org/web/20070705042710/http://www.spacecoyote.com/comics/sat/) and RPG World (http://rpgworld.keenspace.com/). Both are dead now, although RPG World has a sorta-creator-blessed fan revival (http://rpgworld.the-comic.org/) And then I sorta fell away from them for a bit, mostly, until a friend threw Mokepon (http://mokepon.smackjeeves.com/) and The Property of Hate (http://tpoh.smackjeeves.com/) at me and now I'm back xD

kayotics

I started reading webcomics back in the early 2000’s so I was consuming everything that was available, but I think the first one that actually made me think “I want my art to be like that” was The Meek https://www.meekcomic.com/ Up until that point I read mostly video game comics and they were funny but not inspiring me to make a comic. The Meek was gorgeous and interesting in a way that I hadn’t seen before.

varethane

A friend of mine made a webcomic in the early 2000s and I will not link it because it baaad, but that was my introduction to webcomics-- though when I started reading Terinu ( http://www.terinu.com/ ) and Lackadaisy Cats ( https://www.lackadaisycats.com/ ) was when I started wanting to make one of my own

The Meek and Gunnerkrigg Court were also early influences for me

oh, and hero! I loved this comic back in the day http://invisiblecities.comicgenesis.com/story.html

there were a handful of others that are no longer around, like Vampirates and Goodbye Chains and Astray3, all of which have vanished forever

Delphina

Acid Reflux (http://acidreflux.ficwad.com/) was the first webcomic I really got into back in 2000. The humor was a great blend of anime and light fantasy, which is definitely my happy place. The forum/IRC communities were big for the time too (and of course there was no social media back then outside of what people hosted themselves). When I started my own comic, one of my goals was to have a community like that.

varethane

yeah I totally used to hang out on the terinu forums and shared fanart and stuff XD

(and on my friends' forum which shall not be named)

Delphina

Yeah, standards were different back then XDDD

varethane

ohhhh yeahhh.

Nutty (Court of Roses)

The first webcomic I got into was Looking for Group https://www.lfg.co/. I'm a huge sucker for medieval settings, so my influences revolve around core fantasy, like Legend of Zelda and Lord of the Rings, but I also LOVE for my fantasy to not be taken as seriously with a good sense of humor, like LFG, Discworld, Dungeons and Dragons, and even The Adventure Zone. Seeing them create a graphic novel was sort of a catalyst for me deciding to make my own. I hope I do well for myself to contribute to the unique fantasy/comedy genre!(edited)

Brodnork

I actually started making webcomics before I knew they were a thing

When I was super young I made comic strips inspired by Calvin and Hobbes all the time

And when I got a deviantart account I started posting them

I think Calvin and Hobbes was a huge inspiration for my early work

Although I really started taking comics seriously when I started reading Cucumber Quest

https://cucumber.gigidigi.com/(edited)

Cucumber Quest

gigi

Calvin and Hobbes really inspired me to make comedy comics, and I loved the variety of backgrounds that were drawn in it

Cucumber Quest has lovely colours and a well written story, so I looked at pages from it a lot when I started teaching myself how to make colour palettes

magusferox

Anybody here read Kill Six Billion Demons? Epic stuff imo https://killsixbilliondemons.com/

€heshire777

Now I am

mika

i should make a tumblr page with all my favs

rae

for my old comic I put a bunch of my favs in the links section because I wanted more people to read them. XD

varethane

That's what I did too XD

though it's gotten a little bit out of date and I haven;t made a new one yet for my new comic

ErinPtah (Leif & Thorn | BICP)

I keep my active reading list on ComicRocket these days (https://www.comic-rocket.com/users/SailorPtah/), and when they finish...or stop updating...I move them to the on-site reclist (http://www.bicatperson.com/links/references/finished-comics/).

Some of the oldest ones I remember reading are Venus Envy, Catball & Clown Girl, Boy Meets Boy, 1/0, Alternate Delusions, and girly. (So, also a Keenspace child, lol.) http://www.venusenvycomic.com/index.php http://catball.comicgenesis.com/ http://boymeetsboy.keenspot.com/ http://oneoverzero.comicgenesis.com/ http://altdelusions.comicgen.com/ http://girlyyy.com/

ShaRose49

The first webcomic I ever read was Michelle Phan’s Helios Femina, Just cause I was a fan of her makeup tutorials. I started reading it but stopped and then when I started making my own webcomics last year I got into it again, but the story turned out to be not my thing, but freaking gorgeous art. Then I got into Planet Ace, Shiori, and webtoons like UnOrdinary and Spaceboy, and The Villain. Just sooooo good brings back some great summer memories. http://planet-ace.smackjeeves.com/ https://m.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/helios-femina/list?title_no=638&webtoon-platform-redirect=true https://m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-villain/list?title_no=188266&page=1&webtoon-platform-redirect=true https://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=143025 https://m.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/unordinary/list?title_no=679&page=1&webtoon-platform-redirect=true https://m.webtoons.com/en/drama/space-boy/list?title_no=400&page=1&webtoon-platform-redirect=true(edited)

[swampgallows]

it’s becoming harder and harder for me to find solace in places. the guilt inside me is becoming heavy. i know that if i want something, i need to make it happen, but i am so exhausted of having to do everything myself. and the things i do get help with i feel grateful, of course, but then so guilty that i’m needing to be helped that it’s incapacitating. i’m just so late in the game to everything. i’m so outside of life and what other people are doing. i’ve always felt that way, though. i’m never gonna snap into place like they want me to. 

i need to pick a career and stuff. i just have to like shot in the dark pick something at this point because there isn’t going to be some divine calling, my pittance from art commissions is not gonna be enough to sustain me (and i dont think i can get to a point where it will), im just so bogged down knowing that everybody is fuckin poor. 

part of me wishes i could wake up and just ‘be normal’. that i could throw away all the weird stupid shit in my life. the trashy little kid bracelets, the clown clothes, the nerdy interests, the ugly monsters (what on earth is an ‘orc’?), the hundreds of heavy and just plain weird records that are sooo boring and irritating and repetitive and loud and obnoxious. all the shit i’ve internalized about stuff i am beyond passionate about, the only fuel that keeps me alive and gives me a reason to wake up in the morning. i read once about brain trauma, that someone suffered an injury and when they woke up, all of their interests changed completely. they were a classically-trained musician, iirc, and ended up just selling all of their instruments and getting rid of all their books etc because it had absolutely no value to them anymore. they were completely changed. i dont remember what their new interests became, but... the thought of that has haunted me for over a decade. maybe someone will hit me in the head just right until i wake up and be a normal person who cares about normal, accessible things instead of all this fringe and abrasive fantasy bullshit. what if i woke up one day and became a devout christian? i roll over and my room is foreign to me, along with everything in it, and then i just throw it all away? i start over, stripped clean. tabula rasa. i get good interests instead. relatable adult things, like gourmet food and backpacking. i titter with the girls at the office and wear pencil skirts and focus on landing me a tall dark and handsome. 

the thought of becoming that thing is heartwrenching. painful. but it’s all obvious, of course, why i would ever have that masochistic fantasy of completely disowning my worthless oblong self. a me that isn’t ‘ruined’. 

i went through my kandi stash the other day trying to find all my kandi with bells on it (I could have sworn i had more). and going through a lot of it was a flood of memories. high school, college, raver days. when i was in high school, all by my lonesome, the only candy kid or rave-associated ANYTHING in my 4000+ fellow students, i had to wear a lot of my own kandi. and i did so as a beacon, a lighthouse, hoping that i could be a beaming signal to any other candy kids who might be in hiding. and i got so dizzy and self-consuming with my repressed interest that i became a zealot about it, being extremely rude and elitist about my interests because i felt a need to protect them. i felt the pressure of them looking to be watered down or erased. i was the same with warcraft. 

ten years later i’m not as rude about it, but i feel exactly the same way. in high school i had to wear my own kandi, would have it ripped off of my arms in big fistfuls by those who ostracized me, and had to be tongue-in-cheek and submissive about my passion, my very real and non-ironic DEVOTION to this. thank god on tumblr i can write 4000 word dissertations about garrosh hellscream and some of you crazy fucks actually bother to read it, but sometimes i still feel like that kind of pariah for having a very niche and very specific fixation. 

even people who played warcraft when i was in high school told me i took it too seriously because i roleplayed; and even roleplayers in the game told me i took it too seriously because i didnt want to sit around for 6 hours pretending to drink alcohol and trying to get laid, except as an elf. the fact that i really wanted to discuss the lore and delve into the story and the universe of azeroth, of how it would feel to be in that place, to live that life, ostracized me even from the people who claim to feel the same way. but roleplay was never about focusing on how our veins dont surge anymore as undead, how your digestive organs need to be removed post-undeath so they dont explode and rupture and hang out of your bowels like the abominations in the Undercity, how the undead are technically still the same citizens of Loraderon but are being ousted by their living counterparts in neighboring kingdoms. it was just “haha im a funny dead pirate man and i’m going to womanize 12 blood elf women at once behind all of their backs.”

in trying to become a gabber dj too, i felt like i had to take it upon myself because nobody else plays the music that i like. but alll of these things... it feels like i’m just building a house by myself. i feel like nobody truly, at the core, appreciates the intersection of interests that i have, or can only smile and nod at my fervor but not really understand it. and it’s nobody’s fault, nobody is obligated to feel what i feel. 

i’m glad people enjoy the garrosh posts and art that i make. and i’m glad that my friends make kandi with me now and encourage me to play gabber. i’m happy when i get some really good RP, even if i have to be the one to walk up every time. i’m glad that people want me to “do the thing”. i just feel like... there is no payoff once it’s done. everyone gets glad that it’s finished, and they enjoy it then, but then it dissolves. nobody is invested in it but me.

i know the solution is to be more accessible, but i can’t seem to imagine anything other than swinging the pendulum in the opposite direction. like, all or nothing. either you take all of my german expressionism with the warcraft meta and the rave shit, or you get nothing. i dont know how to dilute myself and that’s part of what was killing me at my job. i felt like a novelty. a doll. but it wasn’t their fault.. they couldnt relate to what i was talking about and passionate about, and it’s not their fault. they liked me because i was well-spoken and funny and a diligent worker, which are all nice and accessible things, but when nobody can cathect with me, really empathize with me, i feel like a jester. a consumable. 

my college roommates would tell me that they loved me because i was so funny. and that’s it. i existed as entertainment, but anything human about me—my passions, my interests, my insights, my memories—meant nothing. even my family will ask me a question and then cut me off in the middle of my sentence, expressing more of just their disbelief or confusion about something than actually seeking information. it’s why i stopped answering customers when they’d ask “how did you dye your hair?” and, like an idiot, i attempted to explain the process to them, thinking they actually wanted to know. but a few words in and their eyes glazed over, probably because they weren’t expecting a “real answer”. i began to accept that any questions directed toward me were closer to passive acknowledgements of me just standing there and existing in their field of vision than any sort of actual desired input from me. it’s like when people ask “how are you?” and you are obligated to say “fine” because it is the rote response. if you actually start talking about how you are doing, you are violating the socially agreed upon script of pleasantries. 

i cant do small talk. i cant do scripts. i dont get it. it doesnt make sense to me. and i think retail killed me because of that. i wasn’t a person. i wasn’t even an NPC. i was just a doll. an actor. a pull-string action figure with 5 fun phrases. i was so wacky and weird with my green hair and my silly bracelets and funny observations. ho ho what fun it is to work here with our personal jester to tell us funny stories about her cuh-razy antics she gets up to!

like how nate said “the craziest thing of someone’s year will be seeing someone play the legend of zelda theme on an accordion at a convention and for us that’s just like a walk down the street”. 

my feet straddle two divergent worlds and i cant pick just one but im about to fall in the crevice.

man i fuckin love ratatouille man. i fuckin love that film. i cant choose between two halves of myself. even when the halves want the other half dead.

i need a liaison. where’s MY linguini????

[piefanart]

Hi Pie! I’m writing a story, and I really want to have one of my characters be autistic, with a special interest in Bugs and Dancing. I was wondering if you had any tips for how to do that well without misrepresenting, and also if you have any tips for writing about special interests. Sorry if this is bothering you! I just really want to make sure I do this right

Hey there anon!!!

thats amazing that youre putting an autistic person into your writing!!

im not the best at writing stuff like this out, but ill try!!

dont make autism the only important bit about the person. autistic people are people, so dont treat the character like an alien or anything. its good to mention that they are autistic, but it doesnt need a neon sign. it should fit smoothley into everything else, like if a character had brown hair. dont make jokes about their autism, it always comes across wrong.

not all autistic people are alike! i love that you know your characters special interests, because the sterotype is trains. my special interests are video games, whale sharks, and anime! everyone is different, and some autistics dont even have a special interest. additionally, special interests dont always last your whole life. for example, when i was a toddler my special interests were dinosaurs and the wizard of oz. the latter lasted until i was 11 or 12, and ended around the time i discovered minecraft and star wars, which replaced it.

special interests in general are things that an austistic person “latches onto”, that is, sometimes thats all the can think about. when i was little everything had to be dinosaurs. we were really poor, so it didnt always work out, but i remember having a pair of dinosaur pajamas that i wore as often as i could get away with. now days i always have something related to my special interest with me, be it a wheatley charm on my necklace (that also has a key my honorary twin sister engraved with the words “221B” and “Nethel”, to represent my nickname of Sherlock and Nethel being the tolkien elvish word for sisters; and my necklace also has a spinner ring my boyfriend gave�� me thats too big for my fingers), a zelda hat, or even just a t shirt with a character or symbol from something i like on it.

i also have a tendency to only want to talk about my special interests, and i have a huge problem when it comes to talking about anything else. and making small talk; thats just plain torture. i tend to make analogies that relate back to one of my special interests, or i will only talk to people who share an interest with me. im not very good at making and keeping friends irl, but on tumblr i have a ton of awesome friends!

many autistic people will sometimes (or often) infodump about their special interest, going into great detail about it. i know that when im semiverbal that one of the things i can do to actually talk is find someone to talk about something i like with. i will talk very fast, and stumble over words with lots of messed up grammer because i get super excited and my brain works much faster then my mouth can.

a lot of autistic people will do tons of research into their special interests and suck up any information about them that they can, but this doesnt pertain to everyone or every aspect of the special interest.

for example, back when my main one was star wars, i would sit down and spend hours reading the wookipedia or reading various star wars books. (i own over 200 star wars novels). my star wars interest ended when the force awakens was released, because my dreams of seeing mara jade skywalker, jacen jaina and anakin solo, and grand admiral thrawn on the big screen were crushed and i couldnt find a way to cope other then deleting star wars from my life. dont get me wrong, i still love it, but im very bitter.

but on the other hand, with whale sharks, i hardly know anything about them. you could ask me anything about legend of zelda lore and i could probably tell you, but i have no idea about anything about whale sharks. i just really enjoy watching them, they way they swim is extremely interesting to me and i tend to fixate on videos of them. your character might be this way about bugs, if you chose. or they could be that way about dancing! where they cant dance, but they like to watch people dancing.

additionally, dancing can easily be a stim! stimming is short for stimulating (or something like that, i forget) and is how autistic people regulate themselves with the world around them. everyone stims differently, and almost anything can be a stim!

i like to stim by chewing on things, but not material, becuase the texture of wet material is painful to me. but for other people its the exact opposite! i also flap my hands when i get super happy, and wave them around when im talking. when im upset or watching a movie i will rock a little bit back and forth.

not all stims are pretty and aestetic, though. a lot of stims can hurt the person, or just arent accepted by society yet. many people stim by banging their heads on walls or their hands. i stim when im nervous by picking on wounds, which has led to far too many round scars from moskito bites. sometimes i flap so hard i hit my hand on something, which hurts like heck. or i accidentally hit someone in the face, which gets awkward fast.

some more tips; use autism first language! person first (person with autism, etc) is extremely abelist and rude. aspergers is a term that is being slowly ruled out; some people still use it to refer to themselves but reffering to someone else with it is not very accepted. dont use functioning terms (high functioning, low functioning, etc), they mean nothing and are extrememly ablelist. 

if you feel up to it, you should also ask some other autistic people for their input! i know @autism-asks has covered some of this before, i think they tag it #writing. theres also @strangerdarkerbetter, who is an amazing person who runs a great blog and might be able/willing to help you out as well.

feel free to go through the #actuallyautistic tag on tumblr to get inspiration as well, just make sure that your character doesnt fit into the perfect sterotypical jello mold of what an austic person “should” be.

sorry about the long reply, ive had too much caffinee ^^”

and sorry about any spelling errros!! im still not used to my new keyboard, and i type by memory rather then looking so sometimes i hit the wrong key (or type the letters out of order lol)

thanks for asking!! good luck with your story!!!! (you should totally send it to me when its finished-)

[meanderfall]

one thing i've always wanted to know, since you have good taste, is if you were gonna be stranded on an island what are the fics, music, video games, etc (doesn't have to be all of those things, just whatever you can think of) that you'd bring with you to be read/played/watched/listened to over and over again because they're just That Good?

JKDHFFJGH i cant believe you think i have good taste!! oh man, i hope you’re ready to be disappointed lmao Thank you though, you’re so sweet!

Anyway, this question is always really tough for me because like, my interests change so easily and so quickly that the answer changes like all the time.

Let’s see, i don’t think there are any movies in particular that I would want to re-watch over and over again. Oh! Maybe the LotR trilogy? And Star Trek Beyond.TV show-wise, the only ones I can think of would be the episodes of Supernatural that Gabriel was in because holy fuck i love Gabriel so much and he’s such a fascinating character and his storyline is slkfjdhf. I’d probably end up bringing Friends with me too, but that’s mostly a comfort thing lol I grew up on it and it was pretty much the one show my older siblings and I could all watch together in peace and enjoy.

Book-wise, I’d probably bring the entire series of John Dies at the End because the humour is right up my alley and it’s pretty deep. There’s so much character!! I love it!!! Weirdly enough, I think I’d want to bring Of Mice and Men because that ending makes me cry like a little baby. Oh! Genesis by Bernard Beckett! I actually only read it once quite a few years ago so i don’t remember much, but it left quite the impression on me! It’s best left read without knowing anything about it, but it’s very philosophical and interesting. And Happiness by Will Ferguson! In this one, basically an editor who’s behind on finding a script finds a script for a book that will help you find happiness. It gets published and guess what! it works! everyone’s happy! Except for the editor who finds the entire thing unsettling and goes off to find the author and try to get him to fix what happened.The Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith is also solid. I love Julian. What an interesting character.

Manga/anime-wise, I’m bringing One-Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, Bakuman, Assassination Classroom, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Fruits Basket and Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai. (I’ve re-read all of them so many times like oh my god)

I’d probably bring RvB with me because Yes. Game-wise, I’m hauling Folklore (or FolkSouls), Spyro the Year of the Dragon, Assassin’s Creed 2, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Rune Factory 3, and the Star-Stealing Prince and no one can stop me.

Let’s see, music-wise, I’d bring Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Moon, You Are Enough, Son, and One, all by Sleeping at Last. In a Big Country by Big Country. Riptide by Vance Joy. Which Witch by Florence + The Machine. Go To War by Nothing More. Kitchen Sink by Twenty One Pilots. Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies. Carry Your Throne by Jon Bellion. Wait For It from the Hamilton OST. Pompeii from Bastille. A Chance of Rain from Bedouin Soundclash. Exorcism by Clairity.

Oh boy, are you ready for the fics? These are the ones I swear by and that I’ve read and re-read and adore with all of my soul.

The Long Road Back to Good (rvb fic)

Wolf in the House (a sterek fic)

Ask Me No Questions (a loki becomes good fic)

Clarity of Vision (a thilbo fic)

Old Dogs and New Tricks (a sabriel fic)

Before the Legends… (a gen TOS star trek fic, focused on how Kirk, Spock and McCoy first met on the Enterprise) 

Between Truth and Absolution (a klavier-centric fic, focused on what happened after Apollo Justice and the trauma Klavier went through, and if i had i had to pick any one piece of media between every single last thing i’ve mentioned in this post, it’s this one okay, i love it so much, i would give my life for it, you don’t understand, it means so much to me.)

Some Things Shouldn’t Be a Chore (a stony fic)

and Winter’s End (a winteriron fic)

Phew, I think I covered everything? lmao anon, you probably weren’t expecting this to be so in-depth, im so sorry for the amount of reading here rip

[fabelyn]

(1) Sorry for the following rant, I hope it makes enough sense. I find it so annoying how a chunk of the player base disregards Hop as a bland and annoying character (and I get it, he kinda is when you first meet him) but I was so happy to finally see a rival with an actual characterisation and personal growth after suffering from the likes of the X&Y's rivals and a one-dimensional Hau from S&M. Sure, he is not that amazing but he is a vast improvement overall.

(3) So, let's find faults in the game where they actually are. It was clearly a rushed game, rushed to meet the release date (why did they not postpone it? something is going on behind the scenes) and it shows in how good some things are and how bad others are. Performance and graphical wise? A disaster. We are on the switch, a better console than the 3ds, but S&M looked and felt so much better! In the end, I still see people having fun with SW&SH and I believe that's important.

(4) But still, it seems that people seem to like to shit on the games just because they want to shit on something. The only thing that I want for the future is: for the love of everything nice, GF and TPC, please! please! take your time making future games! Just stop releasing every few years if it's taxing just take the time to make the game good! AND POLISH IT!!

SWSH anon here, I was pretty much ranting yesterday, my 2 cents. And thanks Tumblr, never change buddy. I think in the missing 2nd part I was talking about the plot? About how I saw a few saying it shows up only at the end while in reality there were pieces from the start? I liked the whole "Ehy the legend/truth of the legendaries was lost/hidden, it was new and interesting. And it's pokemon, the games never shined for the story (for me the only exception is BW). In the end SWSH is a 7.5 at best

I didnt play SM so I cant really say what Hop is compared to the companion there, though i still stand by that he’s annoying af, sorry.

First because of how constant and forced on you he was at the beginning. he got better when he got depressed but by then I was so annoyed that the narrative being like “oh wow, Hop is so down” just made me angrier. Doesnt help that the plot shits on Bede for acting high and mighty...and Hop is the same. Secondly at the end of the game they keep acting like this brat who failed to so much as kill one pokemon of mine is somehow my rival. Are other rivals just as bad? If they are, that doesnt make Hop less annoying to me. Bede had a better set up.

Other than that, i fully agree with the rest. It is rushed. They should have done a Breath of the Wild and held off release for a few years to give us something big and game changing as opposed to...the same game as always. Which isnt bad, I enjoy playing. But its nothing wowing

The plot isnt strong, but pokemon games never had plot as a forte. The shenanigans right before the finals felt full of plotholes and somehow I was rooting for the “villain” but I didnt really focus on it because Im not playing for that. Back to zelda, I find the plot of breath of the wild shit but 10/10 recc the game

Eternal Purgatory: Chp 1, welcome to campus

Eternal Purgatory: Chapter one

Welcome to AU

 Today marks the worst day of my life, joining a frat. My dumbass dad is forcing me cause I can't stand to alone forever in my room with my books and writing, even going as far as to take my tuition away if I don’t. my name is Christopher Matthews and I come from a long line of assholes controlling the mass market of industry, and as the next head of the family corporation, he expects me to be part of his alma mater and brotherhood. God do I wish for death right about now.

Christopher begins talking on the phone with his father

“dad you can’t be fucking serious about this, they want me in an initiation and you know frat guys will do something really heinous and I don’t think I can handle that.”

Christopher’s father Joseph talks to him pretty pissed off about the situation.

“Oh I’m so sorry that I’m paying for college while you spend all your time writing those weird stories and keeping yourself locked from the outside world. Get over yourself, you have to venture out on your own and get used to society, how else are you going to take over the company?” Chris responds

“Yeah that’s right dad I got to do everything you want, no use in arguing with it anyhow, I know your minds made up, but rest assured I don’t condone this and something will happen, I know it.” Joseph on the other end

“Jesus Christ again with you bitching about taking risks, hows about you stop trying to be such a little bitch and do as your told, not that you ever proved yourself before.” Chris sighs before hanging up

“Love you too dad.”

Chris looks outside his window seeing a bunch of people crowding around in frat sweatshirts and gets a knock on his door.

Chris rolling his eyes

“gee I wonder who it could possibly be, not that I would know.”

As he opens the door a bunch of guys rush him placing a bag over his head dragging him off. As he has the bag taken off his head, he finds himself feeling bitter cold and notices they are in the basement of the dining hall on campus. The frat guys come forth and welcome chris and several other young college students to the freezer.

Frat guy

“welcome maggots to the initiation, tonight you venture into the freezer for one hour wearing only your skivvies and when the hours up, you’re going to be brothers.”

Chris glares at them and asks

“So you want us to strip down and go into freezing cold as you guys get drunk and wait?” Frat guy

“yes that’s exactly what we want.” Chris strips off his clothes and walks in flipping off one of the frat guys staring at him

“Yeah I know I’m covered in scars get over it, just let us out when your done waiting.” Frat guy

“okay just for that kid, two hours for you”

Chris thinking to himself.

“Yeah I’ll be waiting with bells on.”

Chris looks at his watch as he shivers in the cold, noticing it’s been well over two hours and the frat brothers haven’t come for him. More time passes and Chris notices the lock turning, showing that the dining hall has been closed. Shivering in the back, Chris contemplates what he said and knew the brothers forgot about him and he told his dad so about the risks to going for the brotherhood.

“I told that asshole, I told him I didn’t want to do it, but he made me anyways, god I’m fucking freezing.” As Chris finishes thinking he closes his eyes waiting for help.

As he awakens he notices hes in his boxers in the quad and looks around

“huh, guess I was able to make it out after all, I wonder who let me…, this is not my campus”

Chris looks around quite a bit more seeing different toned people walking around heading to classes glaring at him

“What the hell, it’s not even Halloween, what’s up with the floating and scarred people… oh fuck I’m dreaming.”

As Chris ducts into the bushes he notices a  set of feet walking towards him and the person is wearing gold boots that are bejeweled and stands waiting for him to come out.

“Its okay, you can come out, there isn’t anything to be afraid of.” Chris crawls out of the bushes and notices a hulking man with piercing blue eyes and blonde hair slicked back in gold armor carrying a straight sword on his back and lending his hand out to help Chris up. Chris looks at him and immediately questions everything

Chris blinking and seeing if its all true

“okay did I stumble to a renassaince fair, cause your in armor and carrying a qhat I can only presume is the blade Excalibur, nice workmanship btw.” The man stares back at him and shakes his head.

“young man I am Dean Arthur, and this is not a replica of Excalibur, it’s the real thing, your in purgatory.” Chris’s eyes widen and looks around.

“so I’m dead, your king Arthur, and this place is a school.” Arthur

“Yes you died before your time came and so you will continue your education here, at Afterlife University.” Chris sighs and face palms contemplating the situation.

“good god I am in an never ending hell.” Arthur brings chris to his office registering him for classes as chris looks outside and sees a fat guy smoking a bowl outside the window. Arthur looks out and opens yelling at the young man.

“Mr. Stone, I have told you repeatedly no marijuana on the campus, recreational use may be legal, but only off school grounds.” Mr. Stone puts out the bowl exhaling his smoke in the air.

“Sorry, I keep forgetting, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind but had a test coming up and the nerves you know.”

Arthur looks at him getting annoyed.

“my boy, your so bright but yet your careless and lazy, why not be more like the new student, straight A’s and responsible.” Chris looks at Arthur and raising his eyebrow.

“actually after all the stuff that just happened, I could go for some of that.” Stone looks at him up and down.

“honestly dude, I can set you up with my dealer, hes super chill, but maybe get some clothes first.” Chris looks down at himself wearing only his boxers.

“Oh god that’s right, anyway I can get some pants.” Arthur looking at him in embarrassment.

“Apologies I didn’t expect this to happen, most come to purgatory with clothes on.” Chris with a blank expression

“well I didn’t, so get me some clothes before I freeze to death, again.” Arthur gets Chris a blue flannel shirt with a pair of brown cargo pants and has him change. After getting clean clothes on Chris is given a registration number for classes and an address for his housing off campus. Arthur tells him that he is going to meet a lot of nice people around but to be wary of a few unwanted figures. As he walks he notices a bunch of game characters, historical figures, and even people from canceled tv shows hanging around.

Chris looks onward to see everything around him from the students to the teachers

“Huh, so everything that dies comes here, even fandoms, that explains a lot.”

As he walks he suddenly bumps into a chubby goth boy with a black goatee and wearing a dark maroon flannel and jeans.

The boy he bumps into looks at him.

“geez man could you be anymore clumsy.”

Chris dusts himself off and looks back at the young man who looks upset.

“apologies, im new and I gotta get used to things around here.” The young man looks back at him glaring up and down.

“Whatever country boy, just watch your step.”

Chris questioning what he meant.

“do you mean you’ll hurt me, cause I won’t take that lying down.” The young man widens his eyes responding.

“oh no I mean watch your literal step, if you don’t focus, youll fall down the stairs over there.” Chris looks at the spiraling staircase going off campus and sees the point.

“Oh thanks, again im sorry to bump into you but I gotta go move in to my new place.”

as he walks away the young man in the maroon flannel covers his pants with his books.

“damn it hes cute.” An incarnation of link from legend of Zelda comes over seeing what occurred.

“so Brendan, got a nice little surprise there.”

Brendan glares at link with his hair getting fluffed up.

“shut it elf boy, I highly doubt that he plays for the same team.”

As Chris reaches the house he looks at his cargo pants that tore lightly.

“that chubby goth boy owes me a new pair, or a date.” as he opens the door he notices the same fat guy who smoked a bowl outside Arthurs and another man who comes in wearing a Naruto headband and a Tokyo ghoul mask over his face. Stone walks over and offers chris a joint and a shot of rum to welcome him to the home.

“hey there, im paul and this is Robby, looks like you’re the new roommate, your rooms down the hall next to mine, just clean up after yourself and don’t touch my stash.” Chris shakes his hand taking the joint and lighting it up.

“trust me, thank you so much for this I cant believe the day I’ve had, I don’t think I need any more surprises”

Robby takes the mask off tripping over some stacks of naruto manga trying to talk.

Chris looks down at him and sees if hes alright.

“so is this something you get used to at all.” Paul takes a controller out and begins playing call of duty.

“not a chance, just happy to have two new moneymakers in the house.” Chris helps Robby up only to quickly turn around.

“What do you mean two moneymakers.”

Paul just playing his game answering,

“don’t worry about it.”

The door opens to reveal a young woman wearing a pale green tee-shirt, black jeans and brown hair tied in a ponytail walking in.

“well, this is the address and it looks like… OH MY GOD.”

Chris’s eyes bulge out of his sockets and stares at the girl.

“HELEN!!!” “CHRIS!”

The two stare at each other and watch as a robed figure comes out with a clipboard. Checking some papers for the day.

“Paul, can you tell me when the new students arrive…. Oh their here, hmm as yes Christopher Matthews age 22, died of frostbite, Helen Monroe, age 24, died of accidental overdose, my names reefer welcome to the house, er are you listening.

The two of them glare at each other only to say the same thing as they contemplate the situation.

“I’m gonna fucking kill dad.”

[yearsoffightingforme]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ muahahahaha

OH WHELP, I asked for it. 5 Facts:

-  I recently got in my first “car accident” about two days ago. Im fine, Im not hurt at all, no one got hurt....Just my poor car. I was trying to park in the parking garage at work.... and I hit one of the pillars... great...Good thing I have insurance and “Accident Forgiveness”

- I also got the Nintendo Switch on release day, and I fell in love of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s actually my first LOZ game I've played on my own. The only other LOZ game I’ve “played” more like watched, was when I got my boyfriend Majora’s Mask for Valentines day in 2015 when he came to visit.

- Favorite Food: Sushi. Im always open to trying out new things, and sushi does that for me c: Just take me to any sushi place, like conveyor belt sushi or sit-downs. I will be a happy camper. I think my favorite sushi place is actually where my boyfriend lives, in Nevada. Oishi I think? That’s the best sushi I’ve ever had and would always go there whenever im visiting him

- If you don’t see me drinking water, I will definitely be Canned Iced Tea. Like Arizona’s Lemon Iced Tea or Brisk’s Raspberry Tea. I love their tea sooo much

- I’ve honestly been unmotivated to animate lately, due to what happened with my car and being under alot of stress at work. But I have been getting ideas for things while listening to music while ive been playing BOTW. So I may animate something soon
