#is anyone even in this fandom anymore bc hello!

[labyrinthofcrystals]

💎. ┊    thinkin abt when I was into [fandom] & I had a mutual who very openly didn't like it so I asked them if it was okay that I still followed them & they said yes so long as I tagged my shit (which I always did, of course). but then when I asked them to tag their crit posts they said no n started attacking me 🙃 like why did u say it was ok for me to still follow if u clearly had a Problem with it then??? and then they sent other people to harass me too like wtf.

[vanmarkus]

Your last anon made me think a bit, because the hate coming from some buddie fans has been absolutely awful, but it’s not new (like you said) and it’s interesting bc buddie fans aren’t the only ones crossing lines and sending awful shit. I guess for me it’s not unexpected bc this is exactly what fandoms do, it just feels disingenuous to be like buddie shouldn’t happen now bc of all the hate. this is gonna sound dumb but it almost feels like corporeal punishment for the fans who are just vibing in their own corners of the internet.

honestly? this whole thing is stupid.

like... I might just be in a mood so excuse me if I'm even more blunt than usual, but on one side of the aisle we have some of the buddie fans who are more and more aggressively coming up with shit that just tangibly untrue just to justify hating Tommy or the ship — as if they can't just dislike stuff and move on — and keep harassing the bucktommy fans and the actors and Tim...

on the other side of the aisle we have some bucktommy fans who think that just because the ship is currently canon that means it's written with eternal golden letters — and are also harassing buddie fans and sending hatemail to anyone suggesting otherwise (hey, hello, yes, this has happened to me too, personally).

what I'm saying is that these people are rancid and annoying regardless of who they ship. they are just miserable and pathetic and there is just no cure for stupidity, I fear.

but as you may know, cuz I talked about it before; I do think buddie will become canon down the line and that these same people will complain about how it happens, just to have something to moan about anyway.

I am with you and the other fans who are just here to vibe though and cannot really pay much energy to these people anymore, I just can't take them seriously...

my only wish is that they wouldn't bully the people working on the show, when all they do is work tiredlessly to create something so special and overall lovely.

[bidisaster-peanut-romano]

Throughout the entire game, who do you think are some of the most underrated or under-appreciated characters?

stumbling into the askbox whyyy hello there!!! it had been a while!!

OKAY SO. let's start from one fact: every. single. character has something special about them. so like the easy answer is... anyone, lmao. truth be told we (the whole community) has been around for llke, 18 years (WOAH) and some sides are completely unexplored. even just from the idea that... have you guys ever noticed how little content there is around about nerds and jocks, for exmple? and i don't only mean art but also writing, analysis, metas, thoughts and such. not to mention the townies, the townies, when, having some of them been given some actually adult attributes, there would be a lot to unpack.

i feel like this is a) mostly for the nerds, that the rightful fisgust for the horrible thing they did to mandy discourages a lot from engaging with them as characters too, and b) because they are quite overshadowed by the fan favorite preps and greasers. which, i mean, very legit. but i think that they do have a lot of potential, again, in terms of characterization and themes, and i feel like we are collectively missing out on a lot.

and there's also the fact that, even with the fan-favorites, there is so little tapping into the more serious and sometimes mature aspects. i wouldn't say christy is neglected by the fandom, but it's not often that i read someone talking about her repressed anger that explodes whenever she feels too much, that heirloom of her father that of curse she doesn't have, she isn't a problem boy like her brother, what do you mean with that, i could use this tie to strangle you goddammit! or vance, that we all love as the sunshine jokester of the greaser and heartbreaker queer icon, but how come none of us ever mention him having a canonical addiction, and what if his messy dating habits have to do with that, too? what if he's running from something inside himself, rushing to next best thing just so he can feel something?

but this is just me rambling as an introduction oops. so, just trying to list a couple of my favorites:

thad carlson (& dan wilson) (putting them together bc they're intrinsecally connected and while i do stand by the fact that he's wildly underappreciated in the fandom i would hit dan in the face with a brick): i would lterally give my first born for these two. they are what they actually wanted to write when they wrote about cain and abel. i'm not sure what is the exact reason why they have different last names, and i don't wanna enter headcanon territory here. what it does unavoidably indicate, though, is that they were doomed from the start. like it was written in their names. so, picture this: they were in the nerds together. they suffered the bullying, the abuse together. the humiliation tasted like blood in their mouths and shone like the stars they'd see with their heads smashed in a locker, but at least they knew their brother would've been there to hold them. there's something very visceral about suffering together with a brother. like the blood they share creates somewhat of a shell, one that can protect them from what is outside, that can give them the comfort that they will never be alone. whether they like it or not, their brother will forever be with them; it's inside them. except that thad had the rage of a wounded animal; dan had the fear of a small prey. so, while thad kept standing tall and proud and chin high against his bullies, dan started training and morphing until he could be accepted in the jocks. dan wasn't the bullied anymore. he was the bully. while his brother was still on the other side of the war- the side of the eternal losers, that is. the side that, no matter how many battles they will win, they will always be at a disadvantage. so thad has got all the hurt of having been betrayed by a half of himself, like the phantom pain of a lost limb. and the hurt makes him angrier and angrier and when he wants to take revenge on the jocks his brother is the first target he wants, because, see, he is the victim, his brother is cain who has killed abel. but also dan has got his head on backwards to look out for enemies and for anyone who might uncover him as the fraud he is, the way he just thought- they are just bullying me for what i am, so what if i become someone different? except that it's not like he didn't feel like a loser anymore, he just feels like a loser with a football sweater. so at that point you look at the direction of that violence, at where the anger and the resentment lies, and you stop there and wonder. who's cain there? who's gonna be the victim, who the executioner? like nathaniel orion said, "i want to kill him sometimes. i think sometimes he wants to die". i love them ur honor.

otto tyler: i have no literal idea why there is so so so little about him. admittedly, content about townies is in gnereal harder to track down, since they have... no last names.... for the most part. but the otto tag is absolutely desolated. this boy is what you'd call too angry to be this young. his first response to anything is extreme violence and fantasies of it. playing his audios you will be met with die, kill, die, kill, kill, die, die. and all of his vitriol is poured on the school, like they have all come together specifically to hunt him down. and he's been canonically hospitalized, as well; when you walk in the asylum for the first time (galloway away i believe) he tells you not to "anger the watcher"- but who is this watcher? the composition of the scene seems to implies it is the statue in the courtyard; the most coherent correspondence would be the orderlies you will have to avoid as you walk past them; maybe otto himself has just been told not to anger the watcher by the people who are supposed to take care of him, but that are just playing with his mind to make him too afraid not to behave. which, incidentally, doesn't sound too different from what he might have suffered at school. otto will ask you if you have ever punched a wall. he will swear he hates everyone in the school, that everyone in the school hated him, he will threaten to destroy it. otto is a landmine, he's an unstable kid who just needed some ground to stand on, and instead they placed him all alone on a shaking earth. all is anger is desperation, it's having spent too much time without a support system, too much time bound -to a chair, in a cell, in a straitjacket- surrounded by people who couldn't understand him. who stifled his expression instead of channeling all the feelings he had all the time, exploding and intense in an overwhelming and violent way. i like to think of him as an artist. he mentions tattoos; i like to imagine he's learning to do them himself. that he's finding that as an outlet for his expression. and yeah overall. i am a lot fond of otto, and i think he would have a lot to say.

mr. wiggins: look, this guy is super unlucky. he's the only teacher with no class minigame; he's only ever walking around, and if you saw him you probably mistook him for the more familiar mr. matthews. but believe me when i tell you he's a real one. example 1: when someone snithces to him, he says something along the lines of "thank you, but i will never be able to trust you again". BRO. let me tell you, in 1968 this guy was OUT on his college campus and he was MARCHING and RIOTING with workers and students. he even mentions having spent a night or two in JAIL. he will walk into class and say the nastiest things about reagan while he keeps saying that as a teacher he will have to be politically neutral as if he didn't just have a fight with hattrick about socialism.

[sapphire-weapon]

Hello!! So I was reading your meta analysis on Leon deciding not to pursue Ada in RE6 and tbh never looked at RE6 as a resolution to Aeon. They were acting too married in my opinion, there was a established intimacy between them idk, and he has her phone number. When Leon demands answers from Ada, he's never harsh or angry, he believes her even before she answers bc he knows her. I think it's poor writing bc there are a lot of holes to fill and it's really annoying bc she sounds like a hotline operator, she does "good things" but she still has these corny lines and won't explain shit to anyone, not even to Leon after he went through all that trouble for her. But his letting her go felt like an "ok you'll go figure things out and I'll see you again soon" which is really fucking unhealthy but that's always been them.

But after reading your post I was like... did I missunderstand the purpose of that scene or did the game really gave closure to their relationship? Bc it feels like no one else in the fandom feels like that was the end lmao, Aeons or not, they're still waiting for the resolution to their relationship.

Do you think that if the game had been received better, Capcom would've continued with the whole cat and mouse thing between them or was that really their intended resolution for Aeon? Bc Vendetta, ID and DI feel like a really hard attempt to appease that response and not like a direction they were planning to take originally. And at this point they don't know what to do with Ada so it really proves she was just an accesory to Leon and when they couldn't fit her into his narrative anymore they were like welp.

Sorry for the long ask and I hope you have a great day 🧡

dude the whole point of leon's RE6 campaign is that leon thinks he knows ada and doesn't. like he watches a video of carla being hatched from an egg, legitimately thinks it's ada, and then just rolls with it because that's how little he knows her.

what people pick up on in these stories is fucking wild, to me. y'all miss the forest for the trees. "omg he has her number" HOMIE HE THINKS SHE'S PART DINOSAUR OR SOMESHIT

like one of the biggest themes of RE6 is "chasing after an illusion." jake spends a significant portion of his story chasing after the ghost of wesker, chris spends a significant portion of his story chasing after ada thinking she's carla, and leon spends a significant portion of his story chasing after a woman he thinks he knows but doesn't. ALL OF THEM ended up being wrong in the end. jake was wrong about his blood ties informing his future, chris was wrong about ada killing his men, and leon was wrong about the many assumptions he made about ada.

if anyone's sitting around waiting for closure about aeon, that's their fucking fault. because at the time that RE6 came out, a good chunk of the fandom went "okay resident evil can end now, RE6 feels like a conclusive end to the story" -- which is also an incorrect takeaway to have, but it goes to show how much people's memories get warped over time and influenced by others.

and no, i don't think that they would've continued the aeon story if RE6 had been received better. the original version of RE7 that was scrapped following the RE6 post-mortem was a leon and sherry game -- that says, to me, that they were always intending to pivot leon's story towards his relationship with the government and away from ada.

[martritzvonmercie]

You are literally so real hello that. phenomenon annoys me a lot.. i like thinking of ryuji and ann Trying to become somewhat friends with goro, but its cool just thinking what they could talk about on their own . (Like just ann and goro, without mentioning joker, or just ryuji and goro) And of course, ann is perfectly awesome on her own, not only with another character(s)

Also gonna be real im not a super sumihead (lol) but i do like her and she has a lot going on..like. guys theres a lot to unpack here where all the sumiheads at. Ok they're probably there HSHSHD but its true you see her more in the bg of stuff u_u

YESSSSSSSSS YOU GET IT

i honestly don't inherently hate ann and goro friendship. i truly don't. i used to think it was a cute concept actually, if anyone were to have patience and kindness with him after Everything i think it'd be her. but now i see it and i immediately get defensive bc the way they are portrayed is just... bad. i especially really hate how people seem to have turned them into the stereotypical "gay man and his girl best friend" dynamic in all of the content for them bc they simply... aren't like that. it's not their personalities. and i think if people wanna do sh//uake while making ann friends with akechi they need to be not misogynistic about it. make her an important character instead of just having her pop up when akechi wants to go to the mall and go #GirlShopping and talk about love advice. like people in general need to do a way better job of checking themselves with the whole "yaoi and their girl best friend" thing bc so often it's just misogyny and acting like women are nothing but side characters

AND THE SUMI THING... jesus christ idk if you saw that one clip from persona 5 tactica promo material where it's sumi, joker, and akechi and the camera is on sumi for like 0.2 seconds before it switches to joker and akechi for several seconds and she is just like. no joke in the background. and i was SO MAD when i saw that. and i thought the general reaction would be outrage. bc she is just as much a part of the game as akechi is, so whyyyyy would they do that, give my girl some goddamn screentime. but no. the sh//uakers made so much art of this exact moment. sticking her in the background. it was a whole trend. and it's like. that's so fucking annoying!!!!!! she's not a background character of sh//uake. her ties to them account for like. maybe 1 hour total of the 150 hour game that is p5r, and many of the other hours of the game have moments that distinguish her and make her an interesting character in her own right. but i legit don't see content of her that's not primarily sh//uake content anymore, and when she is in ship content of them, she is often metaphorically or even literally shoved in the background

and it's like. that's misogyny. this is misogynistic. you do realize that right.

there is a right way to both ship men and include women in your content, but the p5 fandom certainly hasn't figured it out. please. i am begging you guys to do better

[foreverinthepagesofhistoryy]

Hi, this is Divna. Before you even wonder, this is not a fake acc, just a spam one I had for my cf literally years ago. I don’t want this to be too long so I’ll just go straight to the point. I’m so sorry for being so rude to you. Personal life was cruel to me back then, which is not an excuse, but try to have that in mind. I am in fight with half of the fandom including you bc of two persons-Gordana and Claudia. I wasn’t always good towards them either, but they weren’t to me too. I’m not mad at anyone, but I don’t wanna Gordana in my life, and she doesn’t want me, so we are just on distance for 14 months. I’m not really thinking about Claudia at this point + she left. So the point is, I don’t want to be in fight with you Tumblr royal fandom guys anymore, and I’m really hoping you can forgive me, unblocking eachother and be normal with each other again. I also understand if you don’t want to, but this is just something that my heart told me to do after a very little thinking. I would also be grateful if you message me instead of answering this publically, but I’ll leave you space to do as you think is better. Whatever that is your choice, please leave me a sign that you read this.

Thanks for patience, and sorry 1000000 times again,

Bye!❤️

Hello. I am going to answer this publicly because you made a huge impact (not in a good way) with the royal fandom and justice needs to be served.

What you did was unacceptable. You severely bullied and harassed many people in the fandom, also many left because of you. Many will not forgive you for the giant rift in this fandom but I understand and know some parts of your life and how that can influence your very bad decisions, but that will never be an excuse for your behavior and your own choices. This all happened awhile ago, but we will never forget what happened and even though I do forgive you in some ways, we will never forget, even if you were just a child.

As to the old accounts, I will not be unblocking them for safety reasons (my personal decision) but you can make new ones if you want, but I will never say no to blocking them in the future if anything similar to this happens again. I can’t say about others though.

I would not want to be friends again or have any personal relationships anymore, but second chances for peaceful blogging is an option that I can give. Other peoples actions after this ask is up to them and if anyone’s objects to anything I said just message me and we can work it out. You were responsible (partly and fully) for making 2 of my friends leave, nothing like this can happen again and I hope you have changed for good.

Thank you.

THIS BLOG CONTAINS NSFW, BLOOD AND GORE DRAWINGS, TONS OF TOXIC RELATIONSHIP AND OTHER TW (ALL PROPERLY TAGGED UNLESS I FORGOT ONE OR TWO. IF I DO PLEASE TELL ME!!!)

FULL DNI, DOS AND DON’T, FANDOM CONTENT WARNINGS BELOW. I AM BAD AT EXPRESSING SO IT GETS LENGTHY BUT UM HOPE IT CLEARS UP EVERYTHING

THIS USER DOES NOT ACCEPT INSULTS, VIOLENCE, ABUSE, SLURS, AND DEATH THREATS TOWARDS HUMAN IN REAL LIFE.

What to expect or not here:

⚠️VERY IMPORTANT

I can tolerate/will create darker themed content when it comes to slashers or mature fandoms and villains. I would say this is NOT a safe blog (I mean come on those are bad guys what do you expect! Don’t be too delulu to a point you gonna make them a good guy). However I do not tolerate any form of violence, abuse and discrimination in real life. Seriously, get help if you come across to any of these.

All my darker artworks are NOT for you to follow irl (can’t believe I still have to say this in 2020s do people use their brains nowadays)— It is for me to explore darker concepts, trying to figure out how, for example, how people attracted by psycho criminals, WITHOUT using an existing criminal and hurting anyone irl. Bc everyone is FAKE, they don’t exist, it’s FICTIONAL. Also, to explore my own/seen traumas. I turn personal issues into NSFW kinks or simply dark shit etc, and cope with it as a fictional content. Not exactly the best idea I know but this keeps me sane and overthinking about the past irl. I do not tolerate death/abuse threats and insults towards human in real life, it’s stupid. And all of you should also keep every dark shit fictional content in fictional world. We do not need anymore crime irl thank you very much. Think before you act or talk. Fandom is not that serious to a point you wish death and suggesting violence upon someone.

For my Haikyuu or Naruto art those are mostly safe as hell (my opinion) just loving caring and tons of smooch smooch!😭💖 OMFG I MEAN BOKUAKA HOW YOU GONNA LOOK AT THEM AND THINK OF ANYTHING DARK HELLO EXCUSE ME

Generally I’m open-minded to all ships and kinks (even with complicated relationships where abuse are mentioned for plot reasons, or larger age difference), I’ll simply not interact with contents I’m not interested with… so it would be nice to not recommend any ships or contents through ask, because I mayyyyyyyy ignore it if I don’t like it lmao.

⚠️I draw fictional slashers/villains, g0re and blo0d and other dead dove/ abusive relationships shit, you are warned again!!! However irl crimes/ criminals supporters please do us all a favour go fuck yourself. People who can’t distinguish fictions from real life are not welcomed here.

I DO NOT accept any NSFW commission. Also again and again, MINORS DO NOT INTERACT. This is NOT a minors safe space.

I create art for my inner peace and needs. I cannot babysit and accommodate everyone, so, if you don’t like, don’t engage. The definition of “problematic ships” differs from person to person coz fk me people nowadays overuse this too much to a point idk what is & what is not…

⚠️IMPORTANT: It’s totally okay to consume my version of Jed Olsen X OC content and imagining in your brain it’s you or whoever his S/O is, but I block people who draw my version of Jed with themselves/self-inserts/OCs, or generally drawing him. It’s a culture here: impolite to draw someone’s design without permission😭💦 So please don’t take it personally, it’s just me not comfortable with sharing my design of Jed with other people’s self insert/OC. Also I have many plans for him so when people draws him (even not a ship art), it might actually interfere with my WIP sketches and ideas which makes me so awkward like “should I continue when someone drew it already???” However I am glad many people like him! Thank you for giving him love he really doesn’t deserve it he belongs in the trash💥

PS. There are some designs out here alike which of course is fine, I do not own the character himself, but I‘ll stay away or block if it’s too alike/ overly referenced. I stay quiet about things I don’t like so unless shoving it in my face, I will just walk away🧍‍♀️💦Need not worry!

HI Augustine! How are you? Have you been well? I sure hope so! 💓 I was curious what made you start shipping scotnor? -🪽

Hello!!

Been doing fine, ty for asking, I hope things have been going ok for you too, Anon ✨💕

How did I start shipping ScotNor, that’s actually an interesting question. ScotNor’s a ship I’ve always been aware of, somehow, since I first joined the fandom really and it was that awful ginger Scotland (who I never rlly cared for) and before I was even on tumblr. Before I had joined ig rp, which is rlly going back 😅 but I never really cared for the ship.

But I actually distinctly remember when I did join Instagram roleplay, I started interacting with a nyo Denmark RPer (who was… a bit questionable 😅) who’s favourite ship was ScotDen and at some point I mentioned generally, if I had to choose, I would probably prefer ScotNor to ScotDen. They naturally disagreed, I wasn’t rlly bothered bc I had no attachment to ScotNor at this point.

But I have always recognised Scotland & Norway to be friends, good friends. There’s so much history between them and so many positive interactions in the modern day.

Anyway, at some point, at least a year later, I decided to develop a nyo Scotland, who was… fine ig. Very similar to old fanon Scotland, but less of a creep. And at some point I was searching for a ship for her, and I thought upon nyo Scotland x nyo Norway, and it quickly became my favourite ship for her. But I never really had anyone to chat about it with, I’d been moving to discord rp at this point, and I just couldn’t find anyone who might’ve been interested.

Then Scotland became canon, and I can’t say I immediately loved him, I was so caught up in being annoyed that Ireland was a man. But around the time I wound up trying to go back to Instagram bc I couldn’t find any servers on discord anymore. And when I was there I actually started chatting with a Scotland account who did ship ScotNor, though their favourite ship was very clearly ScotFra. Still, we started chatting a bit and decided to do smth with Alistair & Signe Lovise (my nyo Norway). Who, tbf, I’ve always gone back and forth between being bisexual & being a lesbian. I’ve now decided on lesbian.

We didn’t actually end up doing any ScotNor with them, as I say, they much preferred ScotFra, and they were also really busy so they weren’t online much. But I became… a little bit desperate 😭 I really had started to properly like ScotNor, and they were the only Scotland, really. And idk, somewhere along the line my preference changed for Alasdair & Signe Lovise, to Alasdair & Aksel. I then forced a few Instagram friends to like it.

And I’d also began moving to tumblr at this point. And I shared some thoughts about them here. And naturally discovered @ifindus and 1 or 2 other friends. I honestly think I would’ve probably lost interest in ScotNor if it weren’t for them. But no, I just stayed obsessed 😅

Hello all you may remember me from such bangers as 'show me the proxies in marble hornets' and 'and another thing'

oday um here to talk about how we've fucking regressed as a fandom since creepypasta and marble hornets on ao3 got. presumably merged as a fandom tags bc sorting for exclude crossovers still shows creepypasta fic. in fact doing that just now to confirm this, the very first fic on the list was creepypasta.

so obviously this is a huge pain in the ass for anyone who wants marble hornets fanfic and only marble hornets fanfic. you cant even remove creepypasta fics with exclude crossover, youd have to do it manually with filtering options not everyone knows how to use. and we shouldnt have to yknow? you should be able to go in your fandom tag on ao3 and find only that fandom and crossovers (which should be easily filtered out by exclude crossovers) same as here on tumblr crosstagging is a huge issue but the worst part of it is that the continuous crosstagging in recent years has caused the fandom tags to be merged (not fully as shown by the fact that the numbers for amount of fic in each tag is different) but enough that they're considered the same universe by ao3 which is. blatantly untrue.

creepypasta is a catchall term for internet short stories made by a community, marble hornets is one single webseries online. fuck the creepypasta fandom wouldnt be what it is without huge swaths of shit stolen from marble hornets (like yknow, the pages, the operator symbol, masky and hoodie) but that doesnt mean they are marble hornets fans that doesnt mean theyre making marble hornets content. that would be like saying that since fnaf and batim are kinda similar and the fans have an overlap that means theyre the same and should be tagged the same. they arent, and shouldnt be yknow?

also apologies this isnt the best post im kinda fried rn and im stuck on mobile

that not withstanding its fucking depressing. this did not used to be an issue. thr only fics tagged with both were generally easy to ignore or a real honest to god crossover, but now i swear you look at the mh tag on ao3 and the majority of the recent fics are crosstagged crp fics with giant tag lists that tack up the whole page and tag anyone who is so much as mentioned

and maybe this is a step too far here. but i really think this is bc of tiktok. the people crosstagging posts and fics seem to be the same type to complain avout the 'ao3/tumblr algorithm' not favoring them. but there is no algorithm, just annoyed fans who have to dig for their actual content because people dont have common decency anymore. theres an etiquette you need to follow for shit like this. like how would you feel if like. i dunno. fucking... genshin (just an example of a large fandom or whatever made a character cameo out of like jeff the killer and suddenly all the crp tags were filled with genshin posts not even related to or barely mentioning the character, just ti try and get more clicks?

youd be pretty fucking annoyed having to scroll past all that to find actual creepypasta content huh?

thats the same issue happening here, and honestly i think its a huge issue. for obvious reasons but also bc its so much harder to find mh content now that im sure its incredibly disheartening to be a creator in the fandom rn and foe the past few years. you work and make content for your rather small fandom and its buried under barely related shit, its gonna feel bad yknow? especially when that content gets more clicks bc. frankly theres more creepypasta fans than mh fans just bc of what creepypasta is format wise. its collectively made shortstories. you can like one or two and bc a crp fan, its not like that for mh

this is going kinda off my starting topic but anyways if theres any ao3 tag wrangles following me or who see this.

please for the love of god i beg of you to do anything you can to unmerge those tags i will do anything ill get receipts proving they're separate things please unmerge the tags im dying here

[landinrris]

Ok I am back! And I already left a comment but I NEEDED to tell you how much I loved it and how amazing you are here too!!

I love Carlando okay with all my heart!! They are my number one ship, noone’s ever coming close to them. I really can’t see them with anyone else most of the time. Like they are IT for me.

But Norrix!! GOD!! Do they make me feel things and all giggly and bubbly!!!! Like everything they do just keeps adding to that feeling I don’t know if I can explain it better, but it feels like butterflies you know what I mean. Ever since I learned more about them, which btw thank you to you and your lovely anons about Norrix, I have not been the same! I think about them alot! And they are not helping either.

This fic was very much needed!!! My brain rot has rotted and crumbled and reached a whole new dimension. It’s probably not in this universe anymore. I love all your fics!! All of them!! I have reread them multiple times, in fact I was in the process of rereading “Gold Light Falling Backward Through the Glass” for like idk I lost count. Which again hello similar theme, except more slow burn (understandable bc it is 28k words of brilliance) and I am being very serious when I am saying that this Norrix fic tops off all of my fav fics , even fics with my main fav ships. Like this 3k worded wonder is number one from all the fics I have read in my fandom life!!! 💕💕💕💕

I wish I could give you and this fic my first born!! That is how much this fic impacted me this early morning!!! I love the demon that lost the fight too!!

Sorry I word vomitted but yeah, i love the fic and you 💕💕💕💕

I cannot begin to tell you what this means to hear, I'm so serious. Knowing that there are people out there who adore what I write adds an additional layer of being excited to share things. ❤️❤️

I also agree with your view on ships. Carlos and Lando are my bread and butter, my most beloveds, but there's something I am eating up about Lando and Martin for the past several months that's just been getting worse. I also blame/thank the very kind people who have shared their knowledge and opinions over the last month and a half. Feeling very Bugs Bunny "Our fic" right now.

!!24 25 14 12 5 7 For Sagara, Yukinaga, Sataka and uhhhhh Eruno

Sagara

5 - I've already said the My Melody Anime OP so I'll give a different song for her, bc I've been thinking abt Winx Club again recently probably just any of the transformation songs, Sagara would love them fr

7 - I love how everyone draws her as cringefail as possible, her silliness cannot be contained /pos

12 - Sagara has a local weird girl status but it's not in a derogatory way it's a positive way because she's a good worker at Little Berry. She throws freebie sweets in her customers' orders.

14 - Yume Kawaii!!

24 - Asriel from Undertale (like in a way before he died and stuff like in 201X way)

25 - I thought she was silly, she was one of my favorites upon first playing the game

Yukinaga

5 - E.T by Katy Perry!! 4 Obvious reasons

7 - I'd say the same thing as above for Sagara bc they're vv similar

12 - He probably has a space themed bed room and I want to think has a rocketship shaped bed

14 - Typical teen 80s boy fashion

24 - Adam from Roblox Flicker (okay hi to my flicker moots if you're reading this but Yeah I know the lore has been removed/isn't canon anymore but I mean this in a reverse way for Yukinaga bc if I remember correctly Adam was an alien that pretended to be human and such so like ygs see my vision??)

25 - I never had strong opinions abt him but I did (and still do) like him!

Sataka

5 - For a second one (bc I added going down from the last ask game) I'd say Be quiet and Drive (specifically the acoustic version) by Deftones, not sure why but I just think Sataka on that one

7 - N/A (sorry man the majority of the talk for 1beat is literally it's main cast you can't even rlly find content for anyone else /lh)

12 - Sataka definitely took a shower after going into the public footbath, I'm sorry I'm not letting him live that one down /lh

14 - Ouji or Military Boystyle(?)/Lolita (I'm not sure what the masc name for the second one is)

24 - N/A - I don't think see anyone from fandoms I'm into bc I thought Abt this for a good while now

25 - I didn't have any at first but at the end of first playing File 02, I was like this man really went "Fuck you I am drunk and dying, you will not get the satisfaction of my death looking like an accident and have me die in vain" /POS

Eruno

5 - I read this and my brain instantly went Alone by Marshmallow (I have not listened to this song since second or third grade in my gacha phase I don't know why I thought that but take it ig /lh)

7 - I like how she's always drawn w Potete and Aira like her relationship w them is so important,,

12 - Upon being body switched (the og dog potete), Izuchi gave her candy and Izuchi regrets that very much bc she probably got on a sugar rush reaking havoc /lh

14 - Boystyle I don't think I have to explain myself for this

24 - Cat the cat from HELLO, HELLO WOLRD! (They have the same energy, like Cat got into Kotobukis house just to get food and got chased out like Lowkey Eruno vibes)

25 - Love at first sight (/p), she's so important

Uhm hello I’ve been inspired by your Beneath Their Masks fanfic series (I was so obsessed with it that my nickname is one of the names you gave one of the characters and I doodled the characters maybe a bit too much💀) for around literal years. I know this is weird but I was wondering if ya either had any updates on it or if you gave anything to say about it?

Anyways thank you for spending the time to read this have a nice day/night

Hi hello! Sorry for not answering sooner, I'm back in school and working full time at the same time so I haven't had much time recently.

So when I look at BTM... I actually left the FNaF fandom after some things Scott said, though recently I've been thinking about FNaF again and missing it. As for BTM, I had intended to leave it abandoned as I 1) had intended to leave the FNaF fandom, and 2) as someone who's closer to 30 than to 20 I started feeling weird about writing teenage characters

Recently, I've come to the conclusion- so fucking what, every story that centers around a kid or teen was written by an adult. Maybe I'd tone down the abuse from being as extreme as it was, but ya know.

That being said, I don't intend to update BTM (or any of the other ones) as they are NOW- if I do anything with them, I'll rewrite them, and especially BTM I'd want to write in a different way, bc writing the same chapter 10 different ways was extremely mind numbing and exhausting for me, which is why even when I was active in the fandom it would take me months at a time to write. If I were to rewrite it, I'd definitely write it with a 3rd person omniscient where the pov character changes as needed, but in one story instead of 5.

My writing style has changed so much over the last ~5 years, and tbh my interest has heavily shifted over towards sci-fantasy rather than modern life, and of my old stories Phantom Watchers still has a grip on me. (That being said if/when I (re)write Phantom Watchers, the characters will be aged up from what they were in the original fic). Also I may or may not have a canon multiverse bc of Phantom Watchers but that's neither here nor there.

I do know someone on AO3 is actually writing their own version of BTM, if that might interest you!

For anyone curious, as it stands, the fics I'd be willing to rewrite are:

Phantom Watchers (probably the main one I wanna rewrite, especially now that I'm older and have a few years of worldbuilding under my belt) One Stormy Night on Lakeview Road (same as the last, but with a few major changes to the plot/characters) BTM (already discussed above) Division (but I would probably take them up into college instead of highschool, and change things up. For example I would probably make it where not EVERY one of the Toys is actually a Pazon, bc that would still contribute to the Pazon/Norman self-segregation, and I would probably change up Red a bit bc looking back it feels a little uhhh... yeah)

And for the one I will 100% leave abandoned is "Bunny Tech and Martial Hare" since I was writing that with a friend, of whom I am not friends with anymore, so sorry about that one <3

[forcebookish]

the topmew haters don't even bother me anymore bc their takes are just so awful it's not even worth getting worked up over but the kind of people that really piss me off are the ones in the tags of EVERY SINGLE topmew post like "top is a piece of shit but i still feel really bad for him BUT HES STILL A PIECE OF SHIT THO!!!!" or "um don't hate me but topmew were actually kind of cute??? still don't like them together tho!!" like why do you have to put a disclaimer or defend yourself about liking them??? especially when 100% of the time they are ray/sandray stans and their ship is even more toxic than topmew lol and obviously i don't need to get into how awful ray is yet it's still perfectly acceptable to like them and i don't see anyone feeling the need to apologize for it.

YES, ANON! oh my god i'm so fucking done with them like don't do us any favors😒 ray and boston get free rein to be actual pieces of shit but when top did one (1) wrong thing that he was TRICKED INTO after BEING ASSAULTED and then was KIND OF MEAN to their faves (which is what it's really about lbr) he's the bad guy. the drama makes it so fucking blatant that ray and boston are the worst friends you could ever have in your entire life, but top and/or mew are the bad guys somehow...

and, like, why are you appealing to the part of the fandom that is clearly wrong? like, stop reading meandering meta (and, you know, sometimes!! that includes mine! i was way off when i said that mew might be plotting against ray! it really is just that he's self-destructing and losing himself to heartbreak. the only thing i was right about was that he looked unhappy when he was dancing with ray lol) and watch the damn drama, read what the writers are actually saying! why is it so hard to believe that you're supposed to root for and think the LEAD FUCKING COUPLE IN A BL are cute?

and you know what? i have a hard time believing that all this reluctant bullshit doesn't have to do with hating on forcebook being "trendy" or whatever. if you're so weak-minded that you'll hate on a pair - two absolutely lovely people with one of the most admirable friendships i have ever seen - just because "everyone" else does, i can see why you'd listen to all this nonsense. everyone likes firstkhao so you have to like sandray, apparently, no matter how awful they are (i've literally seen people say stuff like 'i would hate ray if he weren't played by khaotung' LIKE HELLO?????? HE'S AN OBJECTIVELY BAD PERSON. KHAOTUNG IS PLAYING A BAD PERSON. IF YOU HATE HIM, YOU HATE HIM. HE'S A FUCKING ACTOR, YOU'RE NOT DOING HIM ANY FAVORS BY PRETENDING HE'S PLAYING A CHARACTER HE'S NOT OH MY GODDDDDD), but when topmew fuck up or are just being fucking normal they have to hate on them... or defend why they (very reluctantly) like them? ugh.

i'm no longer tolerating it, if you're this slow and ESPECIALLY if you're not admitting that you were wrong about topmew all along then

thanks for stopping by and echoing my exact thoughts, anon 💗💗

Hello Miaro, how are you? Why do some people feel some type of connection with celebrities? (No blaming i’m just curious). Be it spiritual or not.

And what if it was true? How should they differentiate their fantaisies from reality?

Hi ! Im pretty greah ! On holidays at the moment.

I think it depends on whom we are talking about.

In some cases, celebrities have the purposes of uplifting the collective. That is the case for BTS, but i dont think they are the only one, i jsut cant think of other examples rn lol.

In that case, they have a role to encourage healing and growth, which can make people attached to them. Fandoms and artists can also belong in the same soul family, and have the purposd of helpnig each other in thier ventures.

In many other cases, people think romantic feelings or intense attraction is the sign of a connection. It can be the product of youth and inexperience, or something more vicious like being the victim of a spiritual predator who will encourage you to think that way so you pay them, ot buy their products, classes etc. Some cults can even build around a "mentor" claiming to teach you how to manifest celebrities or your ex back if pnly you join their super elite community and pay 999,99$ a month and dont listen to anyone else bc only them know. Some people start off being made curious to the idea but then thier ego wil hold onto it so much for survival they dont know how to exist anymore outside of their identity as someone else's soulmate/tf/fs etc. They become vicious and lash out at anything which contradicts it.

The status of celebrities have also changed over the growth of social media. They used to be unreachable beings, they are now relatable, and much closer to the "common folk"than they used to. Thats even the case with kpop idols, 2nd generation were unreachable god like beings, whereas 3rd used social media to reach fans, and 4th now has a lot of them having their own accounts outside of their groups.

The only way to surely tell is to do honest research. To look into all types of soul connections, all the experiences they are linked to and honestly compare to your own. Chances are, whatever you lived is tiny compared to what you originally thought it was. Many people come up to me and bring up signs which are so easily explained or common, and they are still certain that this is supposed to br an obvious sign of something significant. Seek knowledge, experience and unbiased advice.

Hi, hello hetalia fandom, I need help finding a fic or whatever happened to it bc I have been searching and I can't find ANYTHING.

So, there was a Hetalia crossover with MCU/The avengers where Italy, Germany, Sweden and Finland where transported to WWII, and it was how they went on their lifes until actuality. They helped Bucky and Steve in the war and became some type of legends, and also stablished a safe space for mutants in new york(?) I don't remember many details but I can't find it and at the very least I need to know what happened to it.

I'm pretty sure I had it in my Ao3 bookmarks but it isn't there anymore, I might have the name written down in the notes app of an old phone, but idk anymore.

So, yeah, please help bc I'm going crazy over here TuT I need to know if anyone even remembers it, it was pretty popular back in the day and I need to feel like I'm not going crazy thx

#about half the time people bring up “Bruce is abusive” they never get into the nuances that ALFRED enables him AND partially caused him#yes Bruce is a grown man who should face his own consequences#but he doesnt just start having issues with his kids in a vaccuum#(besides his global training masters) Alfred is his primary father figure for years#Thomas is frankly an idealized Holy Ghost he doesnt have direct influence on bruce anymore#its Alfred who should be at least somewhat culpable to the bullshit bruce pulls#its Alfred who always stands to side and lets things happen#its Alfred (depending on canon) who suggested the “good solider” plaque and memorial case#its Alfred with the military background#its Alfred who kept the professional distance between himself and bruce in the first place#its Alfred that Bruce has to be basing himself off as a father even subconsciously!!! <- tags by @bitterrobin

#like so much of Bruce’s ‘it doesn’t matter if u hate me as long as I’m right’ attitude comes from Alfred#overstepping boundaries bc he knows better? hello#and this is why the fake therapy speech in fics is so annoying#bruce has to learn not to overstep but Alfred is ungrounding someone w/o contacting anyone bc he runs the house or wtvr like ok#if I talk about how invasive Alfred was in war#just to barely if at all back them up when the og robins got pissy#like Alfred IS fuck around but dodge finding out#he never has to find out bc nobody takes the emotional batfam shit seriously#It’s chunks of ppl using online therapy speech and incorrect quotes to cater to their faves#if I say cass Duke and Alfred essentially serve the same function in every one of these fics#Bc they’re too other to be taken seriously but palatable enough to avoid fandom ire#especially from a fandom that doesn’t read shit besides WFA Which is basically a fic#Uhm anyways yeah whenever Alfred cries in a bad dad Bruce fic I want to punch him sorry#like baby. where do u think this came from. is it new to u? did u get manipulated by the eight year old? <- tags by @starlooove

going to sound like a real hater but any time i see a fic with tags like #alfred pennyworth is a saint or #alfred pennyworth is the best… i immediately ignore it… like where is the nuance… we have got to discuss alfred’s culpability in the way bruce has emotionally damaged all his kids
