#im trying to tag all of my hobbies but im out of space :(

[starchaserdreams]

I don't understand people who don't have hobbies. I'm just a pile of hobbies in a trench coat.

[bucchi-boo]

My friend, Kevin's godparent (GarnetGlitch on twitter) threw this together because it's me everytime Nora likes one of my posts with the little guys.

I feel like a child who's been caught doing something embarassing

THESE ARENT MINE I SWEAR

IM JUST HOLDING ONTO THEM FOR A FRiEND

Trying to stuff them into pockets and failing

ShIt PLEA SE I KNOW ITS A SILLY HOBBY DONT PERCIEVE ME

(I'm so appreciative really at knowing she knows they exist)

But truly I love seeing that people love them as much as I do. Personally I do often feel a bit embarassed how much joy I get from making them and posing them in silly pictures but reading the tags that people share them with or responding to comments or messages always makes me really happy. I should really allow myself to have silly hobbies outside my day to day.

I hope people know I read everything! I haven't used tumblr since I was much younger so I don't always know how to show that I've seen it but know I have! I accidentally created a lil corner for myself my friend calls the lil guy community and I like it here.

I have had a couple people say they're inspired by me to make their own and at any and all times I am interested and would love to see pictures of progress and pictures of anything you put together I honestly love it.

-------‐-------------

As a small update, plans are underway for in the new years my first AFTG doll to put up for adoption. It'll hurt my heart a lil but I just don't have the space for the whole team, and I know someone else will love him just as much as i would! Fingers crossed all goes to plan Aaron will be 5th in my AFTG lil guy series (ahaha cuz his number is 5)

I have a lot to work out logistics wise. But here's hoping !

[supercalime]

A goodbye post I guess?

Hey yall, i wanted to write something about all of this as this may be the last time I talk about this show. Apologies in advance, this will be long and all over the place cause im using this little essay to get it off my chest and help me calm down my anxiety. Strap in, this will be a doozy.

First off, no matter how sad and disappointed we are, let’s please not stoop down to the level of those fans when it comes to voicing our issues with this situation. Please, let’s not harass, call people names, send them threats, etc. we can voice our opinions in an adult way, and although it fucking hurts and it makes us want to shout from the rooftops and call Murphy, Minear and Stark every name in the sun, we need to be grown ups and come out on top of it.

That being said, I want to first acknowledge how fun and cool yall are. We endured A LOT of shit since april and all that bullshit didn’t stop you from keeping the positivity going. I applaud you all for that. It has been hard. I came in contact and became friends with some really nice people here and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I loved being a part of this fandom and it physically hurts me that this feels like it was all for nothing.

Even though I feel like a fool as well, I hate to see how you are all so sad with this. This wasn’t our fault. We were not naive for believing that this storyline could’ve been great. Don’t blame yourself for being taken advantage of. Because that’s what they did. They saw the opportunity to profit from a community and took it. They are the ones in the wrong. They used us for brownie points and then tossed us away like trash the second they got what they wanted. It’s on them.

What I’m about to say now will sound hypocritical as I’m writing this at 2am while trying to cope with an anxiety attack caused by this very show, but what we can take away from this is that unfortunately, we can’t rely on tv shows for happiness. Yes, that’s a bitter pill to swallow, specially in this political climate as we were hoping for some sort of escape from the horrors of the elections. What i took away from this is that I need to (for lack of a better word) touch grass. I need hobbies, I need friends. All things that I’ve been lacking because fandom stuff is easier. I need to find stuff that makes me happy that doesn’t depend on outside factors. But also I want to make sure that if a show is all you have, that’s okay and is even more okay to feel betrayed. I was an absolute mess a few years ago when a show I adored stabbed their fans in the back, but it gets better. You still get angry remembering you were done dirty but I promise that the memories that stick are the positive ones.

I don’t wanna go on a deleting spree but I also don’t want to be reminded of this hurtful moment as the wound is still fresh, so I’m deciding to reevaluate some things offline, like I did with previous fandoms, and come back when I’m ready. I don’t think I’ll leave tumblr or never watch/talk about 911 again but I need some time and space from it so I can feel better. I don’t want to doom scroll through the tags like I did tonight. What Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear and Oliver Stark did to us was awful, but the best thing I can do is not let these three men influence my mental health. I won’t let a tv show ruin me because it’s not my fault. It’s not our fault to believe that there were half decent people in the entertainment industry that cares about the portrayal of queer individuals. They will have to sleep at night with that knowledge and deal with the consequences from the BoBs. And if these guys decide to humor the BoBs that’s their funeral. It would further show they never cared about representation and just wanted to save face after making so many people miserable for simply enjoying a canon ship. I hope they can see the consequences because I’m not even the target here. I’m hurt for all the queer men that saw themselves in buck and tommy, that even messaged the actors thanking them for their honest portrayal.

In conclusion, here’s my goodbye (for now).

Thank you so much bucktommy nation!

Yall are the best,

Love, Lety 🖤

ᡣ𐭩.ᐟ⋆˚࿔ welcome 2 my blog 𝜗𝜚˚ᡣ𐭩.ᐟ

Hulloooooo! my name is lucky ! ok, not actually…. bad start lying to u all.. but thats what u can call me on here! i consider myself to be an exceedingly lucky individual ! :3 this is a little intro post to help you to get to know the dog behind the blog. 🐾🐾

im nineteen years old, but i’ll be twenty in march which is cool and also super scary. i am nonbinary, autistic, and a lesbian (wow tumblr is perfect for me) & i loveeee my girlfriend (chronically offline, no tumblr, sadface) & im from southern california!

ive never really maintained a blog before but it’s been a goal of mine for a long time, and since my goal for 2025 is to try and work towards my most authentic self & pamper myself to the fullest. plus i’ve been wanting new hobbies for quiiiite some time. for the most part i spend most of my time reorganizing my room or hanging out with my girlfriend, and i spend most of my day on my phone since im mid job-hunt right now. i work at a seasonal arts & crafts festival & i love to draw, paint, sculpt, make jewelry, and im learning how to sew!

the plan for this blog is to be a progress tracker, i want to watch myself grow into the person i know i deserve to become. i want to build better habits for myself, adopt new ways of living and rid myself of ways that no longer serve me. i want my twenties to be beautiful, and i want to have a way to look back on these years. and if anyone happens to stumble across my corner of the internet, maybe ill inspire them to want better for themself too.

i want a consistent routine. ive never had the discipline for it but discipline is a choice not a feeling and i have to choose to want better for myself if i want to break the cycles i was born into. skincare and shower routine and haircare and cleaning my space and eating better and sleeping well. ive been working on a lot of these habits already for a few months now and im really proud of how far ive come from when i was in highschool. since im not in college yet i want to ensure i keep myself learning.

i love learning and reading. i have a small collection of books on lesbianism and kink from the late 1980s-early 2000s that are my pride and joy. i also really want to document the process of me trying to get back on HRT & back into therapy this year. all things self improvement you catch my drift.

skincare & self care in general has also been a recent obsession, i grew up never being taught how to show myself love and ive realized nothing makes me feel better than a clean body, clean outfit, and a clean mind. living on my own and having to take care of myself for the first time, i want to make my life softer than its ever been before.

something i wish to achieve with this blog includes inevitably moving this to my own website rather than something hosted by tumblr, i have a longstanding passion for web design and it would be really fun to document the journey on here alongside building a blog creating a website for!!! though this is an exceedingly longterm goal, i think it is worth putting it to paper (ive heard this makes things real faster.. i think if something’s gonna hapen its gonna happen, wether its on paper or not, but i like the idea nonetheless…)

ok ive been typing so long my paws are starting to hurt, thank u for reading this longwided introduction to me, some stranger on the internet who u know slightly more about than u did a few minutes ago. i hope you are well, give urself a big hug for me, and go eat a snack if you’re able to.

tags i use: love lucky 🍀, la la lucky

ੈ✩‧₊˚ love, lucky 🫖

studyblr intro (fr I promise-)

hihi, I'm axy!

this is the third iteration of my introduction to the studyblr community because life got in the way twice before (I went to a different country for two months and saw so many cats it was crazy) and completely stopped posting both times lol

but now everything has settled into a routine (so far. not to jinx it or anything-) and I'm ready to return :D

I am officially a university student! no one is more surprised than me, trust me, but I'm here, a fledgling compsci engineer, and I'm very happy about it!

I'm in my first semester, and honestly thriving despite having studied mostly biology in previous years. never could've guess that coding and math could be so fulfilling

that's mostly the gist of it! here's more information!

about me:

he/they

south asian (indian)

pisces

pretty sure I have executive dysfunction and autism 👍

will offer up my soul for a Monster energy drink

really like the color yellow and pink, I think they're neat :]

interests, hobbies and everything in between:

i fucking love physics (and swearing im sorry in advance-)

drawing (amateur but I'm trying to learn via youtube)

reading (mostly fanfiction, I'm in so many fandoms its awesome, but open to every genre)

writing (again, fanfiction, huge procrastinator, unhealthy obsession with metaphors)

music (unapologetic swiftie, but I do listen to tons of other - mostly mainstream - artists)

why did I make this blog?

for motivation! I have a severe lack of it and am scrounging up multiple, different sources of it!

to keep track of things! I'm very scatterbrained, and despite having like two different facilities to remember stuff!

my best friend @somniphobicfox is a force of nature who also has a studyblog (@a-fox-studies) and I can't and won't say no to her

things to expect:

updates on my progress with studying and random rants about the subject matter

my subjects include: math, physics, C programming, electronics, cybersecurity, english, a native language, design thinking (?? idk man) and HTML

pictures of my study space and the music I'm listening to.

the colors pink and yellow, because I'm kinda adopting the 'lack of aesthetic as an aesthetic' avenue with this - I'm really hopeless there - so you'll see a lot of posts with no structure at all or sometimes with too much structure

the lack of consistency is also an aesthetic - I blame the autism for both of these things

finally the weird punctuation pattern is intentional and I'm sorry if it bothers you

studyblrs that inspire me:

(still) pretty new here, so I only know a few, @a-fox-studies @notetaeker @problematicprocrastinator @ckmstudies @rambles-in-stem @thestudywithmeblog @studydiariesofaru @math-markers

Thank you for reading, and I hope my posts are consistent and able to inspire!! I'm sure I'll have a lovely time in this cozy community :)

(if you're confused that some of the reblogs talk about NEET its because this is a repurposed intro! for context, I started this blog when I was studying for a medical entrance exam, and when that didn't work out I'm now doing uh, engineering! classic desi pipeline honestly-) (I'm claiming the tag #axythings for my posts and my main blog is @tazlory [there might be nsfw beware] where I'm chaotic and wild)

[kamoegoi]

tagged by @sovereign-of-the-void thank you sorry im going to write so much 🙏

i added a cut because sorry

- last song: Hey Big Eyes by Caroline Polachek if it's the last song i literally listened to but its Rizz by Plave if its 'the song my sister showed to me and now it haunts me at all hours i am not actively paying attention to something' in that i was humming the chorus while writing this

- last book: Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. i uh dont like it that much if im being real. i think im in the last like 100 or something pages? i brought it with me to my mom's surgery and havent touched it since. the prose was sorta pissing me off at times but i get why people seemed to like this book so much. its a pretty easy read when im not being a dweeb about it

- last movie: Kill Bill vol 1. My mom asked me to rewatch it with her and it was fun yahoo. i have been doing a watchthrough of the planet of the ape remakes with a friend though. i finished all the james franco era ones and i plan on watching the mark wahlberg one soon

- last tv show: its either House M. D. or Yakuza Fiancee. algorithm kept serving me clips of dr house and i remembered i had a friend in high school who liked house and world of warcraft so much he stopped coming to school because it was all he did so it felt due for a post mortem for me and okay i get it. Yakuza Fiance is fun. the love interest is sort of a hyper bastard but i guess thats what makes him appealing. i just love it whenever Yoshino locks into her yakuza mode. i dont remember which i watched last so i name both.

- last thing I googled: zaiyuki. saw a clip and checked the comments for the name. it looked cool so i googled it and it turns out its an original animation by murata who is in my eternal good graces because of eyeshield 21.

- favorite color: red. its the color of burn, going fast, and being lucky. but in practice my casual wear is mostly black

- sweet/savory/spicy: savory>spicy>sweet. there was a time when spicy would've been top for me but im weaker now i guess

-looking forward to: i joined a bloodbowl league at my friendly local game store and my first match is this weekend (i chose black orcs but ofcourse i painted their armor red). i ordered some modeling supplies because i saw a video where someone kitbashed some chaos terminators into orks in space marine armor with some modeling putty and i thought that looked cool and replicable for someone like me who is new to this hobby so i want to give that a try and use them as warbosses. im going to the ado concert this summer. im going to anime north with my sister and my mom wants to come again after she had so much fun with delicious in dungeon. my friend is getting married.

-current obsession: warhammer/minis. i guess its been sort of a steady ramp up from working on minis at my friends house, but now that i am painting and playing and thinking about actually building an army.................... every time i go to the friendly local game store the warhammer shelves beckon me to them like the green goblin mask summoning willem dafoe. i heard "every kit is an ork kit" and i fear i have begun to take it literally. i stayed up late the other night because even though i have to work in the morning, i HAD to look at my opponent's roster and think about what i was going to do about it this weekend. i am looking up tip and tricks on "how to play bloodbowl good". i lined up my little half painted team on my desk before going to bed and was just standing there like : ). i looked up what a wet palette is.

Tagging @viiridiangreen @siyurikspakvariisis @atournamentoflies @asterixcalibur im not very good at starting conversations but i am curious please do not feel the need to respond if you dont want to

[livingfictional]

can I have a rdr2 matchup 🥺

I prefer male matchup

My Appearance: Im around 5'4 ish female with a thin build and an hourglass figure, but rather flat. I have medium curls, dark brown hair with bangs though I usually wear my hair in a bun because I hate it long. I have downturned bluish-gray eyes. I have a condition called Keratosis that heavily affects my arms and legs and a little bit on my outer cheeks. I have veiny hands that are kind of wide, but I have a good grip strength so I don't mind. I always keep my nails short. I wear glasses but cannot stand contacts.

Personality: ISFP-T! (People who prefer the Constant Improvement Strategy are quiet, individualistic, perfectionistic, and success-driven, often spending a lot of time and effort ensuring the result of their work is the best it can be.) I'm soft spoken and don't usually like confrontations and I will actively avoid situations where I have to do a lot of talking. I'm nervous around strangers and people I haven't known for a while. Even with people I'm comfortable around I tend to let them do all the talking. I'm very adventurous though and I get bored very easily so if I'm with someone and I keep suggesting activities and all they want to do is sit around I'll get bored or insecure about being around them. Simply sitting quietly with someone isn't enough. I have a very open mind though and as long as an activity isn't hurting anyone i'm down to try it! I love to explore different kinds of activities.My main love languages are physical contact and gift giving and a little bit acts of service. I crave to be held or cuddled and I like it when people trace patterns on me. I'm not rich by any means but I love giving things to people because making people happy is really one of the main reasons to make me happy. I hate being alone because my thoughts are so loud and they concern me because I can't help but think of bad things when i'm alone so I like either having someone or something to distract me. I'm not gonna lie- I can get very over emotional and more often than not my emotions tend to control me. I'm a crybaby kinda.

Hobbies: Baking, Reading, Biking and Walks. I love making breads and cookies in particular but there's just something so calming about baking. Reading allows me to get lost in a fantasy- Im am a HUGE Daydreamer. Biking and going on walks is fun. I dont like to be in forests too much because i'm terrified of insects but biking and walking down roads is an activity I do often.

Habits: I bite my lips a lot and grind my teeth. I'm usually not aware of it but it does get painful which is usually when I know I'm doing it. I like biting things. Not like full on biting but soft nibbles and when there's nothing soft to bite on I will bite on my own arm.

Fun fact: I make really good coffee and Tea. I love hot drinks so I take time to make them and I largely enjoy others trying some drinks I make and I'd love nothing more than to share drinks with someone.

Sad fact: My relationship with my parents is complicated and I often feel scared to be around my family due to constant yelling, screaming, degrading, and emotional negligence so I tend to avoid people with authority.

I match you up with… Charles!

He does notice your nervous demeanor, especially in social situations. He makes conscious effort to give you the space you need. He’d never push you into uncomfortable situations.

Charles is a very stoic man, but your companionship calms him down even when there’s a turmoil within him. No one sees, except for you.

Given your love languages Charles will make sure to give you the affection you need.

Not a fan of PDA, but he will hold your hand or wrap his arm around your waist in public.

In private he will often offer you hugs, hold you close and whisper sweet nothings into your ear.

He’d happily let you tag along when he goes out to hunt or even for a ride.

[violentviolette]

Hi Jack are you a part of, or know any discord servers that are actually safe for minorities, preferably for people with mental illnesses?

no and imma be real, u probably won't find one

im sure there's a whole bunch of new ones in the tag and that ppl will comment to promo their servers yelling "were different were not like those ~other~ shitty servers" but after joining dozens and dozens of cluster b and mental health servers over the years ill be honest, they're kind of all shit and I dont think anyone should join them or waste their time making them

the cluster b ones always get overrun with terfs and nazis, even the ones that claim to be safe for poc and queer ppl

and the ones that don't, almost always implode for some other fucked up reason or fizzle out into nothing in a few months. turns out that when the only thing u have in common with a group of ppl is similar mental illnesses it makes for flimsy connections with ppl u dont actually like or have any compatibility with

they also almost always end up as either uwu hug boxes where everything everyone does is "valid" and if u so much as politely imply something someone is doing might be fucked up or harmful or wrong then u get yelled at by conflict averse mods who desperately don't want anyone to rock the boat and force them to deal with a problem

or they become highly aggressive and toxic spaces where everyone highkey hates eachother but hangs around anyway and they encourage super disordered behavior and use the space as nothing more than somewhere to vent their anger problems

because running a healthy space for mentally ill ppl does infact require skills, time, and energy. ur essentially running a digital halfway house for the severely mentally ill and absolutely no one who starts up these spaces is qualified or prepared for what that means

so my genuine suggestion is dont waste ur time and instead try joining some servers based around ur hobbies or things that u really enjoy and are interested in that have nothing to do with ur mental health

Ranting and Hating

Listening to SlyFlourish talk about the Muskrat thing and like, nothing against what he said in his vid more about the idgits in his comments bringing up Lovecraft. But the thing that specifically gets my goat about the tri-monthly discourse about "the assholes who inspired/made our hobby" is that the whole "nuance/people are complicated" answer more and more feels like such a thought-terminating phrase in these spaces. Because a lot of (white) fans verbally separate themselves from the chuds and shrug shoulders about Lovecraft or whoever, but then will run off with the same tainted toys and get mad when you don't want to play with them. But like??? You have to actually do the work of understanding that the Gygaxs, and the Ron E Howards, and the Lovecrafts of the world offenders on the same level as "yeah he called his secretary toots but..." Like that shit was ideological and it is bone-deep. You can't separate art from the artist if you can't even identify the fucking signature you know?

Idk its just been a particularly crazy making week sitting in the OSR space specifically between this and the Questing Beast thing because i do think there's a specific "ttrpgs are inherently leftist" meme brainrot running through every conversation I see when the chuds kick up shit. Like some of the same people making fun of Musk or pontificating as to why Chuds seem to flock to the space in the first place "when they obviously aren't welcome" will also be the same people to run up books with fantasy worlds where there's like, 5 different vaguely European analogue cultures, maybe a barely-elaborated on vaguely arabic/persian or turco-mongol one if you want to be diverse, and the rest of the world either "Here there be Savages" if its human only, or with Orcs/Goblins/Lizards filling out the map. And all the people live in their own ethnostate complexes and have broadly applicable personality types with very little cultural variations or transfer and who view all their neighbors with a "natural" hostility.

And enough of those people will nod their heads sagely and argue that worlds like that are when fantasy was better/more realistic/interesting. Like "oh everything is so frictionless now. Things aren't as fun if we have to let orcs be people the Lore™ is so without conflict." Never occurring to them that conflicts can exist for things other than "white man dont like green man kill kill" or whatever. Or that maybe someone like me, a bitch whose Ron E Howard analogue is "unga bunga cannibals trying to eat the white women" would understandably not feel comfortable engaging with your fan favorite sword-and-sorcery product if thats the shit you're pulling from and you don't think there's anything inherently wrong with that. A "the guy who inspired this was racist" tag up front does jack and shit for me if you dont also take out the racism!!!! Yonow??? And some of them will act like it's the biggest sacrifice in the world to not have racial ability scores or tables for gnome-slurs or whatever. And im sorry if you can't engage with your game without that shit but then you can't scratch your head when chuds continue to pop up in your community.

I wanted to start off by saying, I love your work. I finished Achilles Come Down months ago and can’t stop re-reading.

I know this is probably a silly question to ask but how did you learn how to write so well? You’re writing so beautiful and I would love any tips. ( If you would like to share of course)

Thank you

Hi! Aw, thank you. Im glad you like it :)

Short answer: write and read a lot. Like a loooot.

Long answer: I grew up reading as a kid to the point my mom would unscrew the lightbulb in my closet because she'd catch me reading late at night in it. It was my main hobby, so I learned a lot of literary basics really young just by the principle of seeing them in action a lot. I discovered fanon spaces around 6th grade, which was when I started to write actual stories, so what you're looking at is pretty much the process of 11 years of experience.

The best advice I can give you is just write. Put down any idea you want to see regardless of if it's long or short. I learned because I did, you know? The main reason I was able to finish Achilles when I was 18 was because the year prior during lockdown, I'd tried writing a 100k long fic for the first time that to this day is still a fucking mess. It was a forever failure, yeah, but it also taught me all the skills I needed to actually finish my next long fic- Achilles. (And Redemption).

In my opinion, getting really good at writing is really just getting good at understanding your specific quirks. Off the top of my head example, but I write in present tense pretty much exclusively, because it's the same as my natural flow of thought. Trying to write in past participle or past present is difficult for me to do in large or quick quantities because it misaligns to how I'm thinking in the moment. Figure out what kind of language you like to use- prose? Quick and to the point? Some weird in between? Do you like to over-use dialogue tags? Under-use them? What do you like to write about? Who do you like to write about? Are you exploring a character's emotional arc, a physical arc, something else? These types of question are what will guide your story because they're the foundation of why and how your story is happening, and through what means it will happen. Are you writing a romance or a thriller? What will give the reader a better picture, the internal thoughts of a character or the external imagery of their enviornment/actions? What's most important to the story's resolution? To the character's resolution? What will make this story satisfying? How can you tie all your plotlines together to reach a consistent and sensible conclusion?

And most importantly, what do you specifically want to get out of your writing? If you're only writing so others can validate your work, it'll be more difficult to continue writing if you've got low engagement. Also, cringe is dead. It's stupid to feel self-concious about anything you're writing, because that feeling will hold you back. Write whatever ideas you want because you want to see them, not necessarily because others will read it and judge you. It's not like you ever have to show it to anyone.

I write what I want, when I want, and how I want it. It's 100% self-indulgent and because of that, I'm writing mainly to read it back to myself, which makes it fun because I'm getting exactly what I want to see out of the story both as it forms and then once it's put to paper. I'm also a total anomaly though because my only hobby is writing, so my weekends are pretty much spent sat on google docs from like, morning until midnight. The fact that I've churned out three long fics so quickly is an outlier and should not be counted because im a gremlin with nothing else to do.

hello folks!! it's been a great while hasn't it? i've been out of tumblr for so long and im trying to catch up! after making my mind, i decided to work on this account a bit more and bring new updates regarding my content!

the account was made entirely to entretain myself writing my silly ittle fanfics but with the time spent here i felt like it became a chore rather than a hobby, so i'm changing that! i will be back to writing and this time there will be no schedules (not that i had any to begin with LMAO), no more requests and no frequent writing becuase i'm having a busy life now and i write when inspiration comes, so that can vary a lot.

some of you may or may have not seen me reblogging things from time to time, that was just me trying to get into tumblr and engage with my interests again.

i will start using this page as it was originally intended: a fan account to talk freely about my interests and share my honest thoughts about them! which i was lowkey doing but i was always afraid to post something new because i was so worried about everyone's opinions, always attentive to likes and engagement, constantly checking if there are bots or creepy people around; non of these things matter to me anymore, i just want to have fun in this site like everyone else and release the tension i carry with almost anything i do with my life, i always find it hard to not be tense in any environment so i think it's time i start being myself fully and enjoy my little interests because genuinely, it's not that deep, i'm doing no harm while doing the things that i love.

so! with that being said, this account will no longer be constantly active, i will only appear to share stuff, write something every now and then and make this a comfort space for me. also i'll delete all my reblogs as much as i can to clear my feed (and re-tag my posts and reblogs)

as for my mutuals, i'm afraid since i'm not going to be as active as i used to that if you text me or interact with me i won't answer quickly nor be super invested in the conversation :( i appreciate you greatly but i'm not gonna be using as much media as i used to, i hope this doesn't make our interactions uncomfortable or meaningless. i wish to catch up with you y'all anyways.

with all that being said, im thankful you read all the way through here and i hope life is going wonderful for you, and, if not, keep fighting because it does get better<3

love yourselves and take care of yourselves

tagged by @dead-ghost-walking to answer these fun fic writing questions!

How many works do you have on AO3? 42

What’s your total AO3 word count? 138,556

What fandoms do you write for? currently just the Vampire Chronicles but when I first got back into fic writing in 2020 it was Dragon Age

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Does it feel like a dream, Mr. Molloy? | Next to Never | The Fight | Come As You Are | If This Be Nothing

5. Do you respond to comments? Usually yes! I love receiving them so I try to encourage it as much as I can by interacting <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably gotta be the fic where I killed Louis (which I do still plan on finishing btw)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Holy Ground :)) this one is sickeningly sweet tbh i was in serious need of some fluff when I wrote it

8. Do you get hate on fics? only very rarely. basically never happens now that I only allow comments from people with accounts

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yes. all kinds. all of the kinds. VC Kink Week 2023

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? not currently but crossover crackfic was how i started my fic writing career back in high school. craziest was a roleplay with my bestie that involved characters from Naruto, Samurai Champloo, DNAngel, Fruits Basket, Gravitation, and Fullmetal Alchemist

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? not to my knowledge. nice thing about writing for such a small fandom someone would probably notice and notify me pretty quick

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? no

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? yes

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? idk if i can pick one definitively but its a VC ship for sure. its kind of all of them tbh all the main canon ones. i cycle thru obsessing over each of them depending on the fic im working on. if i was forced to choose at gunpoint i would go with Nickistat

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? hate the phrasing of this how dare u make me face my demons. I will finish all of my wips i will break the cycle and then i will be free and never again be plagued by thoughts about the Characters in Situations. i know this sounds like a cop out answer but i genuinely with all my heart believe that i will eventually get to all 17 of my wips this is simply the extent of my hubris

16. What are your writing strengths? dialogue i think. and smut idk can smut be a strength. tbh i haven't received a lot of constructive feedback on my writing outside of fan spaces so i dont feel qualified to answer this

17. What are your writing weaknesses? over-explaining/over-describing characters actions and motives and emotions in a scene. i feel like this is smth that doesnt come across in my final drafts as much anymore bc ive been actively working on it but this is the thing i consistently struggle with during the process. also i tend to be kind of lazy with research which isnt the best quality to have when you write mostly in historical settings. but with fanfic i feel justifed in only spending one hour instead of three reading up on life in 18th century Paris since i do have a life to get back to at some point. if i was writing for publication i would try harder

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I do it, poorly. almost exclusively French in this fandom, and a little Italian. I do my best to check multiple translation sources (from real speakers if possible) and find example sentences to base my grammar on. but again, this is a hobby so I don't hold myself to the same standard I would if I was doing it professionally

19. First fandom you wrote for? pretty sure my first fanfic was that crossover i mentioned earlier so. all of those

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? oh boy. hold on gimme a sec. ok i think its Against All Odds rn. i was at the top of my game when it comes to Loustat banter (had recently reread the first 3 books) and its very tight and compact and cinematic im still really pleased with it 2 years (??!?!?!?) later

Here for a blind date!

Im 18, going on 19, asexual. I have some sensory issues and social anxiety. I'm generally very well organized, neat freak, I'll constantly tidy up my space, organize thing, even when its already clean. I like to do things at my own pace, namely in small bursts. Its easier to manage. As I easily get overwhelmed. I write, draw, sow, namely embroidery and pacthes, and dabble in some video game programming when I can! I tend to keep to my own corner, I try to be cordial, a good listner, and provide a safe space for others. I'm admittedly also very independent and stubborn to a fault.

I also own a pet Chinchilla named Wallace!

-🌹🦢

💜 blind date 💜 the kitchen is now closed! 🔞minors dni🔞 • masterlist • kofi link • tag: finnie1500 (to follow or to block) a/n: next time you come, bring the chinchilla. i want to see him💚

"Hi, and welcome to the Vill-Inn! Just signal if you need to be saved at any point. Your guest has already... what's a polite term? Lectured? He's already lectured us all, so we will understand."

When you get closer to the table, your date looks up at you, studying you for a moment before he introduces himself.

"Edward Nygma. I'll find out your name later if I'm still interested. Please, sit down."

He's quick to explain to you what he was complaining about earlier, something about the order in which they were tending to guests, and how it would be more efficient if they followed his way, and also they really should strive to lay the cutlery out differently because it makes no sense. You're not really sure what he's saying, you're too busy staring at him with little love hearts in your eyes. A man after your own heart. And when you explain to him that you are also very organised, and a bit of a neat freak, he returns the look.

"Hm... interesting. What did you say your name was?"

You've got him hooked. He's even beginning to get interested in you, beyond subjects that he himself has a passing interest in. Truly a sign that he's keen. Although, while he is polite and listens as you talk about your more artistic hobbies, you do find it hard to shut him up when you broach the subject of video game programming.

"Please, tell me more. But only after I've finished speaking on the matter, as I believe I might be a bit more skilled than you. Than anyone, really!"

You're a polite person, so you let him go on. it feels like you're doing him a favour, giving him a space to just be himself and talk about the things he likes to a sympathetic ear, rather than someone who is rolling their eyes and waiting to tell him to shut up.

"I appreciate this. I can admit I have a tendency to... wax lyrically. So thank you for listening."

You assure him that the feeling is mutual, you're thankful that he listened to you, but you're grateful to hear his takes and for him to impart his wisdom. A fact that fills him with so much joy, a feeling of being appreciated, finally, that he can't help but ask for another date.

((just ranting abt writing fanfics you can ignore me lmao. I'm just in a weird place atm but I'm feeling kinda passionate abt writing rn so I'm gonna vent

originally I wrote a lil of this in the tags but then decided to just chuck it under a readmore so people aren't subjected to it against their will. then it got really long.

I'm not actually expecting anyone to read this im just sorta venting to myself. it helps me get my thoughts sorted if I write them down. I can also look back through my #.vat file tag in a few years from now and hopefully be like "wow I'm doing so much better than THAT now", so if that's the case, hi future Vatta! I hope you're having a good day. and if you're not future me, then I still hope you're having a good day, I love you, and this is your chance to turn back bc my rants are boring and LONG

(not turning back yet? ok. your funeral)

so, I haven't been online much bc I've just been in a weird limbo lately and I'm really busy when I'm at home either sorting stuff out or, with my PDA, doing anything I can to avoid my responsibilities lmao

I've been rereading my Tokyo ghoul light novels (I only have Void and Days ? I think they're called), rewatching Zankyou no Terror, and Bungou Stray Dogs (plus the live action Beast film which was? hilarious but I don't think it was supposed to be), and just suffering lmao

(you're still here? wow. you need a hobby. jk. ily)

I've been locked out of the systems at work for a bit, but I still need to be there and wait for the IT ticket to be sorted, so I've gotta be at my desk, cant have my phone or anything, so instead of sitting there doing nothing, I've either been reading, doing codeword puzzles, or I've been writing up 'drafts' for potential fanfics.

in this year of our sufferer 2024. I've been writing up some self indulgent homestuck college AU lmao. I've written over 60 sides of a5, (not inc the inbetween sections where I wrote some stuff on the chromebook at home) some notes, some accidental first draft, bc I wanted something to take up the time. but my handwriting is terrible, I don't write fast enough for my brain, I have a lil dyslexia so the letters and words get jumbled sometimes, and I have this weird thing where I don't do spaces right. but I've been trying to upload it to Google docs with Bixby's photo text extraction. it's pretty good considering how bad my writing is, then I just need to go through and touch it up, the main issues are things like names, there's some letters I do weird like my v turns into an r, or every p it thinks is a capital, but overall. amazing how technology do that.

(see my long ass rambling isn't just confined to venting. I also pretend to write actual things. you can still leave you know. I'm not holding you hostage until you read all this. you have free will)

can't remember how I ended up back in fanfic hell but I read back through like all my old published fics (aside from the cringe ones I orphaned) and the writing isn't terrible. I don't think I actually finished any of them though, which really shows my true nature lmao,,, but I've picked up a few things on my writing style now. and I've got a few things I see other people do that I wanna avoid bc I personally don't like it, and it's mostly about balance, like using names too often/not enough, being too descriptive like All The Time and making the writing really nice, but not much happens in the story so you take like an hour to read each scene, vs not enough description so everything is happening but you don't really get a visual or a breather to appreciate what's happened so far. I've been working on finding my right balance, which is imo easier if you're writing fanfic bc first up you hardly ever have to describe the characters. if someone's reading it they already know who they are. and for scenes you can take some inspo from the source material. does the original work put alot of effort into setting a cool scene? if not, then you don't have to either! if it's 90% scenery then you've gotta do it too I don't make the rules

I'm losing steam now I'm so sleepy and I've gotta go to work in a bit ugh.

(bet you're sleepy reading this too huh. told you it'd be boring)

I've been thinking about trying out writing some BSD fics but on an anonym not linked to my main Ao3, bc the themes are doozys and I kinda just wanna have the freedom of anonymity. also I'm a baby and if someone publicly criticises my stuff without it being a requested critique then it makes me bleh (I've had a few comments in the past of just general negatives, not even constructive feedback, not that I asked for any anyway...), but the abilities are tricky to write for, so it's effort lol

anyway I'm gonna stop now ive gotta get ready for work

(if you actually read this then thanks for going on this emotion deep dive with me. tune in next week when we'll get back to my usual mental breakdown)
