Currently thinking about best friend/roommate Soap.
Characters: best friend/roommate!Soap, Gaz, Gender neutral Reader. CW: sexual themes, profanity, snark, sarcasm, childish name-calling, immaturity, bickering, overly-long sentences, a general disdain for grammatical rules, butchering of the Scottish language and slang. PG-13 at best. Word Count: 891
Johnny gets plenty of action, of course; he’s an attractive guy. Lots of fun.
Not that you care. Pointedly.
He's just letting his latest fuck buddy out of the apartment when he notices you sitting on the living room sofa, a mug of hot coffee in your hands.
"Och, didn't see ye there, chum."
Of course he didn't. "No worries, Johnny. Have a good night?"
"Had an excellent night," he says as he drops onto the couch next to you, looking quite pleased with himself. You can tell that he wants you to ask. He is practically vibrating with the need to brag, waiting to tell you all about his sexcapades, but you leave him hanging in anticipatory gloating mode because, quite frankly, the walls are thin, and his partner was LOUD AS FUCK. (As per usual.) Because of them, you were kept up most of the night and are cranky, something Johnny seems to notice with a small twinkle in his eye because he's an annoying bastard.
"Cool," you deadpan, taking a sip of your coffee.
Johnny purses his lips when he realizes that that’s the end of the exchange. “Someone’s a wee bit crabbit today.” Then he pauses, that infuriating spark of mischief coming back into his baby blues. “Ah ken why.”
You level a look at him which you hope, deep down, incinerates his balls, but he just laughs, throwing an arm over your shoulder. For whatever reason, being touchy-feely with you straight after fucking all night was always high on Johnny’s list the morning after. He’d been like this for ages, but you could never quite figure out why. “Yeah? Enlighten me, since you obviously know everything.”
“Ye get all jealous when I invite people home, don't ye?” he teases. “Maybe it bothers ye when ye know that they're in my room, having a good time while ye're alone in yours…”
“I didn’t realize this was a competition, Johnny.” You probably should have. “But since you’re so concerned for my wellbeing, I can assure you that I'm just fine, thanks,” you say with a pleasant smile that doesn’t quite reach your eyes.
“Sure ye are,” he says. “I mean... I'm nae calling ye lonely or anythin’," he says, shifting and squeezing your shoulder a little bit. "But maybe, ye want what they're gettin, hm?"
“I'm not lonely,” you say, ignoring the rest of his bullshittery. Standing up and draining the rest of your coffee — you’re not escaping, you’re just getting some space, that’s all — you head into the adjoining kitchen to wash your mug. “Your friend says ‘hi’ by the way,” you call over your shoulder.
He rolls his eyes, leaning back against the sofa. "Yeah? Which one? I've had a lot come through lately," he says with a laugh.
“Not one of your ‘night friends’,” you retort, “One of your work friends.”
He raises an eyebrow, clearly taken off guard. "Really? One of my military pals came by? Who?"
“Kyle,” you say, trying to think of his nickname, but failing. You opt for his last name instead. “Kyle Garrick. And he didn’t come by, we’ve been texting.”
"Gaz?? You've been talking to Gaz?" He asks in surprise, making a face you want to slap. "Really? Damn, I didn't think he'd be interested in talkin' to you."
Your eyebrows threaten to launch into orbit as you face your soon-to-be-dearly-departed best friend. “Excuse you? Why not?”
He shrugs, leaning back against the couch and stretching. "He's a bit of a…" Sweetheart? Gentleman? Absolutely gorgeous? Sex on two legs? After watching him struggle to come up with literally anything bad to say about Kyle, he gives up, settling instead for, “Just surprised he'd talk to you, Tattie."
You glare. Of course he’d pull out that old nickname at a time like this. “I thought I told you to stop calling me that.”
The smirk he wields at you is rage-inducing. “Aw, but the potato is such a noble food.”
“Yes, that’s exactly why you decided to start calling me that way back when: because I’m so noble.”
He hums, that delighted gleam in his eyes saying he loves getting a rise out of you. "So, when did this start?” he asks with a little too much nonchalance. “And what have youse been talkin' about anyway?”
“A couple of weeks ago and none of your business, Mr. Bubble.”
As you take a jab at his precious callsign, his smile squashes into flattened lips, and internally, you feel vindicated.
“He wants to take me out,” you say as a peace offering.
“What, with his rifle?” he chuckles.
You smile sweetly. “If he’s lucky.” Watching the myriad of emotions play across his features, you continue, “He’s taking me out on a date. Going out for a nice Sunday brunch. Said he wants to get to know me better.”
Once again, an insulting level of surprise lights Johnny’s face at your words. “A date?” he asks, dumbfounded. Rude, really. “You and Gaz… on a date.”
“Congratulations, you’ve passed your hearing test.” You check the time, realizing that you don’t have much left before Kyle gets there. “Shit, I have to get ready. Can't talk now, gotta shower!”
You disappear down the hall, completely missing Johnny's look of dismay as you lock yourself in the bathroom to get ready for brunch.
author's note: is this a fanfic, or a drabble? part 2 will be from johnny's pov. thanks for reading!

Fandom Problem #5787:
I hate how fandom treats queer fem characters, and here's the most common problems/my biggest complaints;
The only queer woman that are allowed are lesbians or bi woman who might as well be lesbians because they're only allowed to date woman. Forget pan or undefined queer woman with an attraction to multiple sexes/genders, they can only date other woman or else they're not actually queer because penis cooties or something
Queer woman aren't allowed dark and/or toxic romances and stories like queer men and cishets are, because high hell forbid a queer woman isn't uwu soft bean because then she's "bad representation", "pushing bad stereotypes", and will somehow make eveyone think every queer woman is a toxic abuser
Queer woman aren't allowed to be unapologetically evil, because once again they have to be uwu soft beans, they're just allowed to be sad now. If they're just straight up evil, then once again, "bad representation", "bad stereotypes", bla bla bla
Queer woman aren't allowed to have unrealistic smut/erotica like queer men and cishets are. Apparently no queer woman ever has unrealistic fantasies and all smut/erotica HAS to be wlw sex-ed in disguise because what if a poor virgin queer woman reads that, takes it as the sex-ed gospel and thus doesn't do any other research, and has to have an awkward expexperience when they lose their virginity because they tried to recreate a smut fic?
Traditional feminine queer woman have to be tops and masculine queer woman have to be bottoms otherwise it's just het sex in disguise
Short queer woman also have to be tops and tall queer woman have to be bottoms or else it's once again just het sex in disguise
Queer woman can't have/want bio kids, let alone want experience pregnancy via artificial insemination or more natural methods. Adopted kids only, no, you can't even have a mix of adopted and bio because pregnancy is only for those cishet, man obsessed, baby machines
For some reason, queer woman are only allowed to have sons, or however many boys and one girl. They can never just have a single girl child, multiple girl children, or just a majority of female children.
Queer woman aren't allowed to decide that they just want to love themselves/not date because that's just an excuse to not write a queer romance (unless they're aroace, because high hell forbids anyone, not just queers, with romantic and/or sexual attraction choose to not define themselves by it)
Every woman is secretly queer, portraying your experience of pinning over a straight woman isn't allowed. Only happily ever after queer storys are allowed
I could keep going but I'll stop here.
TL;DR: I just want more diverse queer fem stories and listed out common restrictions fandom tends to enforce of queer fem content

for pride month, i have:
a list of how the hazbin hotel had their gay awakening. (or lesbian, or bi, or trans, or aroace, pan, etc)
Charlie: she watched Sleeping Beauty, the year after it came out. she looked at Snow White and thought “wow, she’s so pretty.. but also Price Florian.. wait.” because this was in 1938, she didn’t know what bisexuality was, but she knew and accepted her feelings, because it wasn’t a big deal to her. in the 1970s, she found the label for it— bisexuality— and thought “OH THERE’S A NAME FOR THIS, YAY!” and that was that.
Vaggie: when she was still alive, in 2010, a friend sent her a photo of a genderbent character from some TV show, and her first thought was “oh, okay, i see why everyone’s in love with them now. …wait.” she spent the next 20 minutes looking up female versions of characters and realizing “oh. OH THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH” (based on my own story)
Angel: honestly, he can’t really say. he just kinda knew from the beginning that men were just hot, and he’d marry a guy if he could. molly just assumed he meant “yeah, men are just better than women” and went along with it, even though she personally thought both were radiantly beautiful. (she found out what pansexual meant in 1972.)
Husk: he has no idea. if asked, he just shrugs and goes “any hole is a goal, i couldn’t care less.” at one point, Angel just shoved a poster at him, Husk read it and was like “oh. i guess that’s me.” pretty chill reaction, just continued his normal day, but kept thinking “okay, wow, that’s ME.”
Sir Pentious: he just thought all people liked both men and women, but because of societal rules and whatever, they had to wait until they had a crush on the opposite gender. ..what do you mean thats not what being straight is. (he only found out what bisexuality was after he came to the Hotel and Charlie had a bi flag pin. he asked her what country that was, and she had to sit him down to explain the concept of LGBTQ+, and no, it is ABSOLUTELY NOT a mental illness, wtf, you’re fine, buddy, go be happy.)
Alastor: post-season 1, like three people separately wished him a happy asexual awareness week and he was so confused, he asked Angel to look up ‘a sexual’ on his phone because he couldn’t find anything at the library. (he was looking at the outdated library in cannibal town.) he read the definition, and locked himself in his room for the rest of the day. if anybody heard muffled screaming and somehow-happy-sounding swearing, nobody mentioned it.
Vox: pfft, what? no, he’s not gay! he’s perfectly straight! is it gay to say that men are just as good at women? …Val, what do you MEAN ‘no but yes’? (Valentino explained the entire history of LGBTQ+, stressing bisexuality. Vox just said “okay, okay, hear me out.. there’s a whole month for them, right? their whole thing is rainbows? what if we paint all of our logos rainbow-colored? they’d buy it!” Valentino gave up, because Vox just COULD NOT comprehend what he was trying to say. but he keeps sending bisexual memes to Vox.)
Valentino: he just always knew. come on, everyone’s hot, unless they aren’t. even better if they can be exploited. that’s all there is to it.
Velvette: pfft, she grew up with social media, she’s known about this shit since she was a kid. fuck love, fuck fucking, she’d rather pester Vox into making cheesy garlic bread. the guy’s a bitch, but he makes good cheesy garlic bread.
Baxter: back before he and sir pentious became bitter enemies, they were both talking about.. whatever. at one point, they got on the topic of clothing, and Baxter— then Bella— griped that he hated how dresses felt. too heavy, too annoying, and it made him feel sick, anyway. suits were just better, not just because they’re lighter. man, he wished he were a boy. pentious asked if he wanted to be a boy in general, not just for the suits, and after a moment, Baxter excused himself quickly to go find something in his library, shooing Pentious out of the house. a couple days later, he came out, transitioned, all that. the only reason he doesn’t cut off his light-lure thingy is because it’s useful. other than that, he avoids looking at it as much as possible.

Why shipping aroace characters is different
So I made a post a while back about my distaste for Vivziepop, the creator of Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss. One of the things that I mentioned in that post was that I disliked how callously she treated the shipping of Alastor, her aroace character (note: he is indeed canonically aroace, Vivziepop confirmed that he was ace and an artist on the show clarified that he was aro as well, which seems to be the implication for the character from Vivziepop and her team). I had a few people regard with confusion, asking what the difference was between shipping an aroace character and shipping, say, a straight character in a gay ship. There’s a key difference that I want to cover for my well-meaning allo (not ace or aro) friends. (Note: I definitely have different standards for QPR shipping and friends-with-benefits shipping aro and/or ace characters, but if I see ANY allo people using QPRs without knowledge of how they actually work and use them as an excuse to ship an aro character….i will find you)
The difference that I, an aroace man, have in my mind is that Aroace characters should not be shipped in a traditional way because we have so little representation in the first place. How many gay people have you seen in media? How many bisexuals? How many lesbians? There are numerous examples of these more common sexualities all throughout popular media. One reason why this kind of representation is more popular is mostly due to two factors: One of which is, obviously, that the three listed are more commonly known by the populous, thus are guaranteed to get a better reaction from a widespread audience. The other reason to this is that aro-asexuality has to be represented differently than other orientations. With most orientations, if a creator wants to properly represent their identities, they will put the character in question in a relationship with someone of the same gender as them (Amity from The Owl House or Jackie from Star Versus the Forces of Evil), or they will give the character a chaotic realization-to-coming-out storyline, often tied to a romantic relationship (Nick from Heartstopper). However, with aroace people, you can’t really adhere to this traditional standard, as the entire point of the orientation is a lack of interest in sex or romance. Therefore, they tend to be harder to represent other than giving them a full storyline about their sexuality (Isaac from Heartstopper) or their orientation must be made clear by the creator (Lilith from The Owl House). These factors make aromantic and/or asexual characters quite rare in popular media.
What does this have to do with shipping aro-ace characters? Well, I can name countless well-represented gay, lesbian, and bisexual characters in popular media. But for aroaces, there’s really only a handful. It hurts to not see yourself in media. And, from my perspective, when people ship aroace characters, they’re callously disregarding that fact by ignoring their canon sexuality. Shipping Percy Jackson with Grover or whatever isn’t taking away from straight representation because, well, reread the first half of that sentence. Additionally, never, EVER have I seen people defend people who ship lesbians or gay men with a character of the opposite sex the same way they defend shipping aro-ace characters. Amity x Hunter is a famously reviled ship in the Owl House fandom due to this very fact. What’s the difference between shipping a character who, by definition, isn’t attracted to men, and shipping a character who, by definition, isn’t attracted to anyone?
Anyway, as a media enthusiast, I just wanted to share my thoughts, because this drives me insane when I see things like this. Well-meaning allo shippers, nothing against you, but please try to think about what you’re doing to marginalized communities before doing anything.
Sincerely,
The Number One Annoying Asexual Fandom Guy

Okay, I have some gripes about the self ship community. I need to get off my chest. This is a long one. Do not derail this, I will block you. Pro.ship and com.ship DO NOT try to interact with this post, I will block you too. I do not have the patience for this today.
Rant/gripes under the read more.
I'm probably going to get shit for this or something, but I'm getting exhausted over this. The self ship community didn't used to be so scary and hateful. What the hell happened?? What happened to being understanding and kind to others who didn't feel comfortable sharing f/os or having doubles? Why the fuck are we dealing with people spreading lies, causing drama and pulling shit because they're mad someone doesn't want to share? Or causing shit because you end up finding out you share with someone, but instead of blocking them and moving on, you start shti instead? You go out of your way to attack them, harass them, give them trauma and make them feel unwelcome all because you couldn't stand the thought of someone else sharing an f/o instead of using the block button and the black list function that are right there. All because you couldn't respect someone's boundaries.
Why the hell are we being racist or ableist to each other for no other reason besides "I don't like them"? That doesn't give you the right to be cruel to someone because they're a different race or have a mental or physical disability they can not control. There's never an excuse to be out here being so hateful to someone because you feel like you're allowed to say a word or term that you have no right saying or reclaiming just because you want to drag someone down.
And then there are people who question if others' sexualites are valid or not because of the gender of fictional characters they're interested in??? When the hell did we decide that was a "good" idea to do any of this?? Then you have the audacity to claim they aren't valid enough to be considered their own sexuality or gender because they're not good enough for you? Why the hell would you think this is okay?? Does it make you feel better about yourself?? Because it shouldn't. And if it does? You need to take a moment and ask yourself why.
And don't even get me started on the fact that we have to deal with so many pro.shippers and com.shippers in this community. Especially ones that try to lie about it, hide it, and disrespect other's boundaries. We already have to deal with enough toxic bullshit in this community enough as it is, and now we have to deal with these people as well.
It's already hard enough to thrive and grow in this community enough as it is due to the whole fact that unless you're popular or ship with a popular character or have a more appealing and attractive art style compared to others, you don't get much interactions at all. It's a struggle enough in this community for small blogs. We don't need to add on all of this hate to it.
All of this is exhausting and frustrating. I remember when it used to be fun and welcoming, and when we tried to uplift each other, give each other a boost and respected other people's wishes and boundaries. What the hell happened?? When did this all change?? If you're uncomfortable sharing, you're valid, but please don't be so rude and disrespectful to others over it. The block button and the black list function are available to us. It applies to basically everything. Someone rubs you the wrong way, or you don't want to interact with them? Block them. You don't like a person? Block them. Don't like a ship that involves a character you don't like? Black list the tag. It's that simple. I really wish we didn't have all of this hatred happening right now. I really wish this community wasn't so scary and cause so much anxiety for people. Self shipping is supposed to be about having fun and for your own comfort. What happened? What happened to this community?? We need to fix this. People have left the community because of all of this or have been driven out by others over this. This has to stop. We have to do something. I know I myself am just one person, and I'm just a small blog, but it doesn't mean I can't use my voice to an extent.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for taking a moment to listen. Hopefully, this community will improve soon.
Have a good day.

for the ask game, Toko Fukawa :D
you got it! i'll include Syo as well. this is a bit Incoherent, but with any luck you all can Parse what i mean
Sexuality Headcanon: Toko's...tough, because she's got so much going on. regardless, i think if you strip everything away she's genuinely Bisexual, as is Syo. they lean towards Men, but Komaru is special. additionally, i say "comphet" for a lot of the girls, but in Toki's case it's a bit different: hers was less societal and more the abuse of her peers and parents. had she never met Komaru it may have never occurred to her that she could love and partner up with a Woman.
brief aside on this: i don't think Toko would ever identify as gay or queer or anything remotely accurate or healthy (ha). nor would Syo, but Syo would probably use a Slur as a label to get a rise out of people, avatar of rebellion and grunge that she is. Toki in particular is on my list of personal "what are you, gay or something?" characters while actively being married to a woman, next to Miu and a few others. good times
Gender Headcanon: okay, hear me out on this one, and sorry if this doesn't make sense, but...
the Fukawas are generally cis to me, though i've imagined a few scenarios where they're trans. when they're cis, however, i headcanon that, if they're with Komaru, only Toko ends up actually being cis. Syo becomes a sort of...genderweird she/her because she sees herself as the fantasy-masc Byakuya to Komaru's femininity. for lack of a better term: Syo thinks of herself as Komaru's husband (hersband...) a lot.
i have no idea how else to explain this without getting mildly NSFW. my thoughts on it aren't really pornographic so much as, like, Psychosexual? you know? and i want to keep the blog somewhat PG-13, so i'll leave it there!
A ship I have with said character: i am a diehard Tokomaru shipper and they're probably the one OTP i don't like splitting up in the whole franchise. they have a game together. they are the Girls of all time
A BROTP I have with said character: i've always loved the idea of Komaru being the entryway into Toko genuinely befriending (or at least earning the tolerance of) a lot of her fellow survivors in the main timeline. i do think Makoto would sincerely be Toko's pal, though, and i adore positioning him as the sweet bachelor brother-in-law in their nasty little family
A NOTP I have with said character: are there people out there who genuinely ship Fukawa System x Byakuya? if so...i'm sorry, but why? whyyyy. again, i try to Live and let Live in this fandom, but lorda mercy you chose poorly in this case, no offense
A random headcanon: to expand on my previous point...i will add, however, that my Fukawa Headcanons generally don't exclude Byakuya. i've said before that, for me, the Fukawas never really lose their crush on him, but it becomes purely, well, NSFW. if you excuse me being blunt for a moment: they still want to rail him, he figures in many of their fantasies, but they don't want to wake up next to him, and they certainly don't want to have his kids or make him breakfast.
Komaru, however, is the Fukawas' WIFE. she is Love, she is Healing, and she is their very best friend at her core beyond all the romance. she is pancakes and shitty manga and joy. Toko (and Syo) may not dream of Komaru kicking them around, but they do dream of creating a peaceful life with her. well...as peaceful as things can get in that timeline. some shit is always Happening
anyway: and Komaru just accepts this, because she knows she's got the girl(s) in the end!
General Opinion over said character: 10/10 i love my Toki so very much. Toki kinnie 4 life. stinky little insect creature. vile and perfect and lovable

Hello overwatch fandom!
Welcome to my - x reader blog, after I introduce myself and lay down some ground rules, I'll be more than happy to take your request!
You can call me Cupid, or mod, or rat. My username is from a deleted blog because this is a *super* functional website/app
I am 18+ and expect you all to be as well. I will write nsfw so please, NO MINORS
I've written fic on and off for >15 years and I'm looking to get back into it to grease the wheels of writing original fiction!
I am pro ship friendly, although I have limits on what I'll write (which I'll list later). I don't use labels, but I am against any form of harassment.
Requests I'll take:
- matchups (please provide sexuality or gender/s your attracted to, hobbies, likes and dislikes, notable physical traits, skills and abilities (if you're pairing an oc or self insert) and anything you deem relevant to the match making process)
- drabbles (I will not write: underage, scat or urine, incest, noncon (cnc is fine), or cheating. Any requests with these themes will be deleted without response)
- headcanons (most common, likely, since it's easiest for me to write at the moment)
I don't have a put together dni, typically ill just block anyone if I don't like their behavior or they're disrespectful, but for a few obvious ones...
DNI
terfs, racists, "maps", zoos, antis, exclus, and sigma lovers (/j)
The only characters I will not write for are winston and Hammond, as they're animals.
I will add that I'm physically disabled and it sometimes affects my ability to type, so please excuse if a request takes a bit or if there are typos. My spell check works harder than the marines.
Much love, and hope to hear from you all soon,
-Cupid
#also you can tell who my favrite overwatch character is#im obsessed#overwatch x reader#hanzo x reader#cole cassidy x reader#dva x reader#soldier 76 x reader#reaper x reader#genji x reader#widowmaker x reader#mercy x reader#moira x reader#these arent all the ships ill write just the biggest ones#also its late rn ok im sleepy

Welcome, Traveler!
Hello! Ella here, it's nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I've only been on Tumblr/Writeblr for a couple of years, but I've been sharing stories online since 2018, and writing for fun even longer than that. Mainly, I dabble in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and everything in between. If you read or write within these genres, we'll get along great. And even if you don't, hit me up! I'm always looking for another good read, and I'm pretty easy to please.
I enjoy asks/tag games and am always looking for an excuse to talk about my beloved characters. Granted, it takes me forever and a day to respond to literally anything, but I'd love to get to know you and your WIPs!
If I'm not writing, I'll hop on to see what y'all are up to, and sometimes I'll chime in with whatever's on my mind. Usually late at night when I should be asleep. As one does. You know how it goes around here. And if I happen to say anything hilarious, there's a 60% chance it was unintentional. I rarely think I'm funny in real life.
The bottom line is, if you enjoy my WIPs or just wanna be friends, please don't be shy to reach out! I'm often afraid to make the first move, but no matter how I end up on your feed, I hope I can make you smile!
* * *
MORE ABOUT ME
—Currently pursuing a degree in English creative writing and gender sexuality, and race studies, with minors in publishing and printing arts and music performance. So, naturally, I can be a busy gal.
—My dream is to be a published author (likely going down the indie route). I also have aspirations to be an actor in community theatre and/or voiceover work; we'll see how that goes!
—I've been playing the flute for almost ten years, and am slowly picking up piano and guitar. Eventually I'd love to learn my way around a drum set as well, if I ever find the time, money, and discipline. Maybe I'll even write my own music one day, who knows?
—I love to swim, lift weights, and do yoga, and I rode horses for several years. Beyond that, I'm pretty much hopeless at sports, especially the ones that involve good depth perception and hand-eye coordination.
—Occasionally, I'll find the motivation to draw. I haven't been that dedicated to the doodles lately, so I've lost a lot of my mojo, but I hope to get back into it some day and maybe share some of my art!
—As a teenager, I volunteered at my local zoo and aquarium—and I would still love to go back one day—but for now, I work as a lifeguard and swim instructor.
—PFP is my current DND character, a tiefling bard named Enyo. If you're interested in learning more about her, check out this post (which includes a full-body artistic interpretation!)
—Like I mentioned before, I'm here to make friends! I'll talk to anyone about anything, as long as the conversation stays friendly, safe, and respectful. I won't tolerate hate in any form.

🔮SPECTRE'S STATION🔮
IMPORTANT STUFF IS IN BOLD
main account is @jar-of-ectoplasm
I am 18 years old, I'd like to keep this blog 18+
If you're a minor, please do not interact with any post I make from this account!! Feel free to head over to my main account, I only post sfw stuff there and there's a lot more content anyway
Writing I'll Be Posting:
on here, it's purely nsfw headcanons
Rules for Requesting/Blog Rules:
for requests, i'd like to keep the amount of characters requested under 5; for stuff like TF2, i'll write for every merc on my own whim, but if every merc is requested then i may not do that particular request unless i'm really feelin it
I will NOT write anything or tolerate any request/message that is related to incest, pedophilia, homophobia, transphobia, racism and any other bigotry. In a similar vein, I will not write anything that relates to sexual assualt/harassment, abuse of any kind, or anything relating to suicide/self-harm*
*comfort headcanons relating to any of these topics are okay
all of my "readers" are intended to be completely free of gender identity, race, and sexuality. I intend to keep it this way. if you want a specific trait (ncluding glasses, hair texture, etc.) for a character to have, please include it in your request
if you request the reader to have an incredibly specific personality i am not writing it. my headcanons focus mostly around the characters i'm writing about, and i know you just want headcanons tailored to you/an OC
on a similar note to the above topic, i don't really write about the readers reactions/actions to anything (at least nothing specific) because again, i don't want to make you guys feel like you're reading from the perspective of a character that's in your place
Character List:
TF2: Everybody!!! Even Miss Pauling and Zhanna!!! Please someone give me an excuse to write for my wives!!!
Batman: Pretty much only the rogues, i don't have the time or attention span to consume a whole bunch of media they're featured in so they're just general versions of the character (which includes: the riddler, scarecrow, mad hatter, harley quinn, poison ivy, bane, penguin, mister freeze, catwoman, killer croc, and music meister)
Suicide Squad baby!!!!!! (only from the second movie though) I'm also including the Peacemaker show on here cause it's a spin-off
that's all for right now :)

Faq
Just questions I anticipate being frequently asked. Will be extended as new questions are well... Frequently asked!
Why no dreammare? Why no Fresh x minty? Why no incest ships?
They fit the stipulation I put forward in the disqualifications page that I won't do incest related things. Itd feel like I'm condoning it or I was making it seem cute in some way and incest isn't cute/attractive and shouldn't be condoned. It literally only removes like 6 ships total out of a hundred plus possibilities, cope.
Why are all the ship kids gay/trans/etc?
Cause gay rights and gay wrongs :) there are completely cishet kids though too they are just ~ rare ~
Will you ever consider adding *insert au here*?
Like I said in my disqualifications post, if they don't fit any of those to an extreme degree, especially number 2, I will consider adding them to the second list with a bunch of other Sanses.
Can I draw these ship kids? Can I ship shipkids with other ship kids/Other characters? Can I self-ship myself with shipkids here?
Absolutely! Id love to be tagged in it too! I may even reblog the post here so others can see it! All I ask is you don't put them in ships with adult characters/gen 0 Sanses/original au Sanses (like the ones on my list), don't ship them inappropriately (like a 17 year old ship kid with a 10 yr old, have some decorum) or ship them with their siblings/half siblings/other related family. In the end, I can't stop you from drawing/writing whatever you want but I sure can ignore your art and block you >;)/srs so maybe dont tag me in or send me the art where your breaking my very simple rules.
Do you ship the ships you draw for? Do you have any ships between ship kids?
Not all of the obviously but I do have a few sans amasui ships I really love like dreamfresh, kustard, outersci and others but I tend to like rarepairs the most. Also yes! I do ship some of my ship kids together with each other (blossom and moon) and with ship kids outside of my own (like luna x goth is an ancient love of mine and Doom x lux). It's abit uncommon for me but I do ship some! None of them are really canon though so if you ship them a different way, as long as it's abiding to their sexuality, I don't mind!
What dose MLM/ILW/NbLnb mean?
These are conjoining community labels and I use them more for bi/gay/hetero curious ocs. MLM means men love(ing) men and describes a man that likes other men, this label includes bi men and gay men. When I say a male oc is MLM, I mean that he knows he likes boys but he doesn't specify his sexuality further. He could like girls or enbies or he couldn't, he's not sure yet. Oh and since it's related; ILW/ILM/ILNB means intersex/intergender so ILW means intersex/Intergender loving women. I means intersex/Intergender, W means woman, M means man and NB means nonbinary.
"lesbians can't use he/him pronouns"/"Neopronouns are stupid"/*insert some other form of lgbtphobia here*
I won't entertain this. Anyone can use any pronouns ever, Neopronouns are older than Shakespeare and all LGBT discourse is poison. " I can't physically pronounce Zey/Zem!" Ok that's why the auxiliary/acceptable exipronouns(she, he, they or it) are written right next to them :) its almost like you have no excuses to misgender and mispronoun my characters :)
What's this nonbinary character's birth sex/dead name?
Although I do know (because I made them), why do you wanna know what genitals this 5 year old character has? :) that's awful fucking weird dude. Idk about youuu :) (<- not thinking about smashing your creep ass head in/hj)
"Intersex is a sex, not a gender"
Putting this to the side because I'm intersex, I've had Perisex(non-intersex people) genuinely say this and yes, people can and have and will describe their gender as Intergender/intersex. It just means that because your intersex, you can't nessesarily be labeled as cis or trans or nonbinary. Your technically cis because you identify with your gender/sex assigned at birth and that gender/sex is intersex. Technically the label is cintersex/cintergender but Intergender is basically the same. It just means your gender is your intersexuality. It's not that complicated and if you arnt Intergender, especially if you arnt intersex at all, you have no business telling us what our gender can and can't be.
How does a 3 year old know their full gender, sexuality and pronouns?
They don't! The guide is applicable to them throughout their whole lives. That 3 year old doesn't know that their polyam and bi right at that age but when they grow up, they will know and that will be their orientation and relationship desires. The ages present are really just to show the age differences between them, their siblings and the other ship kids. That 3 yr old has a version of them in a timeline right now where they are 30 years old, its all relative.
The birthdays/orientations/genders/pronouns/etc you put for the main Sanses arnt right.
Your correct. It's because I did my own takes on them and I'm basing them off my own headcanons and also because not every creator of those Sanses ever answered those questions. Technically these ship kids could both apply to my versions as well as apply to them canonically.
How do you decide their birthdays/orientations/pronouns/etc?
I spin a wheel with all the options and just pick what it lands on! (Of course with some basic stuff like no lesbian trans men, no Aro/ace/Aroace pre-teens and below, etc)
What's your name/pronouns/gender/etc?
Although my pronouns were already added to the main post, all the information on my sona's sheet applies to me, the real Zen and runner of this blog! (I go by Zen or Zenia, I'm two spirit Genderfluid and intersex, I'm bi Arospec and polyam, my favorite color is a minty teal green, I'm 23 yrs old, my birthday is June 4th, etc etc)
If you have another question and don't see it present, like I said on the main post, please feel free to send in my inbox! I'll happily answer and if I think it could come up again, I'll add it to the FAQ so it won't need to be answered again.

I SO want to do a review on this kind of mediocre manga I was reading because of just how AWFUL most of the people's reviews for it were (most of them also just sounded like your garden-variety bigots tbh) BU I also don't want because it really wasn't that good of a story.
My main critiques would be without going into too much for my sanity (lol) is that it was kind of boring at the beginning and writing choices felt a more forced then natural, the boyfriend character is basically a bisexual stereotype (and yes, comes off as a bigoted portrayal of bi/poly people). Sure, it sort of helps that they explore his character a bit more with his sexuality and why he is the way he is BUT the damage is kind of done with how he is portrayed in the beginning and so most people afterwards are only willing to analyze the superficial surface of the story and his character.
Also, before continuing I have to state... it's a drama, it literally in the title about a woman her husband and her husbands boyfriend... this was NOT NOT going to be a messy story and I find it HILARIOUS people take issue with the cheating and the boyfriend character (& not for the reasons I listed, they literally hate him lol which Im not going to say I dont get BUT to me this isn't exactly the issue to be hung up on, because again, it was the bigoted portrayal of the character I took more of an issue with BUT... not going to lie and say I was expecting much different because I have BEEN down this road with these types of stories they tend to be trashy and that is WHY I decided to try reading it! I can't help looking to see just how exactly trashy something might be).
Again, I took more issues with it being kind of boring because honestly I was expecting MORE drama. What I found interesting in those terrible reviews and comments on the series also was that most 100% hated the husband because he cheated but never had any issues with the wife character basically trying to trap her newly out gay husband (only 1 brought this up, thank you, you give me faith that there are still people with reading comprehension). I'm not saying cheating is okay and that people shouldn't be upset about it BUT this isn't a simple situation.
Look, to me at least, there are only 2 situations in which I find cheating to not be such a cut and dry bad thing and that's A. in abuse situations, because, YES, abuse victims tend to not really have any safe options when it comes to leaving their current partner (who is abusive) & well... shit happens and B. when someone didn't know they were x sexuality or gender before commiting to the relationship because I know this is going to be SHOCKING but bigotry & heteronormativity are a thing and it's not exactly SAFE to just randomly come out or to randomly leave your partner, sure you could make an excuse but then where do they go from there? Do they even HAVE anyone they can actually turn to to safely be open about themselves or do they just have to live the rest of their life as a "straight" (now) divorced person? I mean, there is probably a reason these people tend to take longer to figure out who they are and in the husband's case in the story it was having an abusive homophobic father & homophobic mother.
Like I'm sorry, but seeing comments that rail on the husband but then uncritically go "he could be spreading diseases to her" just... yeah because we all know how filthy and disease riddled gay and bi men are (HUGE eye roll). Sorry, but yeah that's just homophobia and i would argue that not giving the husband any bit of leniency for his cheating is also actually kind of homophobic because again bigotry is a thing, and can be made harder by where you are in the world and I'm sorry but unless your queer you won't get what's it like to be a repressed closeted queer person and so have no real room to judge.
Alright, well... I ended up getting WAY more into it than I intend to but to summarize, for a drama it was kind of boring but picked up a bit later later in the story. I don't think the author was or is necessarily trying to do something trashy though because the main couple do actually come off realistic (messy but realistic, lol) in how they react and go through the infidelity and with one of them being gay BUT the problem with that is that then the boyfriend character comes off WAY too unrealistic in comparison. Again, a very stereotypical portrayal meant to create drama and a rift at the beginning but ends up making things feel so forced story and character dynamic wise and give us no real reason to like him or root for him. Sure he's fleshed out a tad bit more later but not enough to be satisfactory or really fix how unrealistic he still comes off which I think is why he is still unliked despite the story progression with his character and no longer is framed as this manipulative predatory bisexual (mostly). I'm HOPING they do more with him and that he gets a happy ending because honestly? If you create bigoted portrayals of a group of people, whether intentional or not, you should work on that and make it better and give that character a happy ending at the very least!

What My Labels Mean to Me
Since it's that time of year, I've decided to make a post talking about exactly what my sexual and gender labels mean to me personally.
I'll be going in order of when I figured each out.
Bisexual: I'm attracted to people regardless of gender, but I don't consider myself pan since gender is still partially a factor for my attraction (if that makes sense). And I don't think omni fits since how I'm attracted to them isn't the same for all genders\sexes.
Demiromantic: This one I don't know how to explain well. I just know that I don't for romantic attractions\attachments unless I'm already close with someone. Maybe it's because I already know I get along with the person if we're already friends. I just know that platonic love has to be there first before romantic can even think to form.
Hell, this also kinda plays a part when I get crushes on fictional characters. They only form after I've been exposed to a lot of media of them (usually fan made) and I already liked them as a character to begin with.
Demigirl: Literally just figured out I'm this last year, though I'm still figuring it out as a whole.
I still align partially with my AGAB, just not completely. Best way I've thought of it is to imagine genders as flavors on a soda fountain, but girl\female was running low on syrup when my cup was filled. The flavor is still there, just not as strong as "normal".
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and happy pride!

By now we should all know about this in game item. Kinda hard to miss it since it's in soda machines all around the pizzaplex, there are the 4 cans we can pick up to boost stamina, and drinking massive ammounts of it is part of Sun's list of things he suggested he and Gregory to do together.
My brain, being the way that it is, has formed questions and ideas around this fictional beverage. I know it isn't that big in the grand scheme of things in universe, but the writer in me wants an excuse to add on to the mess that is fanon world building. (idk if that's an actual term, but it is now.)
Flavors-
In the game we only see four flavors of fizzy faz mentioned\shown in any of the messages and soda machines. Except for in the daycare. The daycare seems to have, at least, one of those freestyle soda fountains that let's you add extra flavor to a base soda flavor (mostly seen at fast food places from my personal experience).
Why bring up the machine in the daycare? Well that leads into my next point.
I like to think that there are actually more than 4 flavors of fizzy faz. Specifically I think there are three other flavors, plus a sugar free\diet variation of all the flavors. The three other flavors will be expanded on in their own headcanon, since they are character specific. (I'm sure y'all can guess who.)
Distribution-
Considering how much of a big deal the fazbear brand seems to be in universe, I wouldn't put it past the company to sell the soda outside of the pizzaplex. It just makes sense to me. You can basically find it at almost any store that sells soda. You can't get it out of a fountain anywhere besides the plex, but you can sure as hell stock up on cans and bottles.
There isn't much of a difference between the can you got at the gas station and the ones at the pizzaplex, mainly that the ones sold at regular stores are a bit dulled down in flavor. It's not even that noticable, but subconciously you can tell.
Marketing-
Besides the obvious of the characters doing ads for their flavors, there is one main marketing thing they do with fizzy faz sold outside of the pizzaplex. Some of the bottles have a "lucky cap" which will have a code that could mean free or discounted admission to the plex. Cans of it have a similar things, sometimes the boxes of 12 packs will have a code like the lucky caps printed on the inside.

These are the three other fizzy faz flavors I mentioned in the previous headcanon. If you hadn't guessed before, these will be flavors themed for Sun, Moon, and DJ Music Man. I came up with these because I wanted them for my AU, though anyone can use them for their AUs if they want to.
Flavors:
Sun- Strawberry Pineapple
Moon- Blue Raspberry
DJMM- Cotton Candy
Bonus Flavors (mostly because I know several AUs have at least one of these two as part of them):
Foxy- Rootbeer
Bonnie- Cherry Cola
Triva:
-I had several ideas for Sun's, and it was hard to settle on what flavor to make his.
-Moon's was originally gonna be called Blue Moon Raspberry, but then I remembered none of the others have special flavor names like that.
-Sun's was also gonna have a special name, when I wanted to make it a citrus punch type of flavor (Sunny Citrus).
-Bonnie's is cherry cola because the diner in Bonnie Bowl gives me 50s diner vibes, and 50s diners make me think of cherry cola for some reason.
-Yes, DJMM's is cotton candy because of his color scheme.
-Foxy got rootbeer because I figured it'd be a kinda funny joke with him being a pirate and all (plus it's nearly 1:30 AM at the time of writing this, and I can't be bothered to come up with something better).
I also have a fizzy faz flavor in mind for my animatronic fan oc, but I'm saving that for her bio. Though that does give me an idea. If any of you have an animatronic fan oc, what would their fizzy faz flavor be?

Idk if anyone has done this yet, but this idea just popped into my head.
The Coven from Monster Prom dressed as The Hex Girls from Scooby Doo (and maybe hex girls dressed as the coven).
You're welcome.

My #1 post of 2022
You know the posters in the game that advertise the sun drop and moon drop candies? Well I've seen multiple people talking about Sun and Moon being able to dispense them. Though I haven't seen people talking about how they dispense the candies. Naturally that got me thinking, which lead me to think about other things that could be related to this.
Basically, the candies come out of a hatch in the palms of their hands. Specifically sun drops come out of the left hand and moon drops come out of the right hand.
Now, factoring in the idea that they can only give out the candy that corresponds with their theming (meaning Sun is only able to give out sun drops and Moon is only able to give out moon drops), we can talk about which hand is their dominant hand(s). I'd like to note that I think their body as a whole is ambidextrous, but as individuals they ended up favoring one hand over the other while going about their day to day lives. They just both ended up favoring the hand that their candy comes out of. So, Moon is right handed and Sun is left handed. It was kinda a subconscious thing for both of them, but it worked out for the best.
If they were to ever get their own separate bodies then they'd be able to dispense their candy from both hands, but would have the same dominant hand that they had when they were just one robot.
(Also, this is just something I thought was cute, but sun will sometimes dispense a candy while holding someone's hand. It's a nice little surprise he likes to do for people for many reasons.)

What My Followers Want To See More Of In Male Characters
I’m always looking for ways to improve my writing, especially writing male characters, and I’m happy to say that my WIP has quite a few of these. I think we can all agree that with the absolutely sickening influx of dark, broody, bad boys in YA fiction, having male characters with more nuance and hmmm I don’t know actual personalities is refreshing and something that all books need. Thank you guys so much for answering this poll(conducted through instagram), and let me know if there’s something else y’all want to be polled on that I can turn into a post! I didn’t change anything that you guys wrote, so there are some repeats on the list, but I think it makes a point to see how many people want to see the same (relatively simple) things in fiction!
Them being soft and kind
going to therapy/having mental health struggle
bisexuality!
non-toxic religious men
lgbt men(beyond being gay and fetishised)
feminine guys who aren’t gay
men of all sexualities being feminine
physically disabled men who are very masculine
straight male characters in close friendships with mlm characters
sensitive and weak moments
“feminine” men mb, guys who like flowers and stuff while also being very strong cause thats cool I think
confidence enough to compliment other men
feminine interests without being judged
discussing things they love doing
I think it’d be nice if people showed men’s insecurities more often. Also, men also get abused and stuff
emotions!!!
genuine friendships with someone who’s better than them
eating disorders, anxiety, insecurities, other common mental health concerns
guys not afraid to show their vulnerability and weaknesses to the people they care about
casually wearing makeup and not making a fuss or a statement out of it
being shy is ok. being nice to the mc and not being a complete douche bag, if the mc is being an idiot and playing with their feelings telling her straight up or leaving her, they don’t have to be attractive to be likable, their dark pasts isn’t an excuse for them to be shitty human beings
them being vulnerable
healthy platonic friendships
vulnerability and insecurity shown through non toxic traits
soft spoken, kind and gentle voice
I want to see them cook, sex, or such without invalidating their masculinity
male characters who express their emotions and aren’t ridiculed by others for it
I want more soft men tbh. It’s usually all badass and then breakdowns. I want someone who is fragile
affectionate with their friends and/or in tune with their emotions
less abs
males who aren’t afraid to cry and be affectionate with their friends
respect and genuine care for females and people of other genders, thank you
i would love to see more bisexual/pansexual male characters!!
the ability to take no for an answer
bisexual males that aren’t the main plot. they just get to be bi and it doesn’t affect the story
emotional softness
being vulnerable/crying without thinking that they’re weak for it
ones that are submissive and fine with it
Queer! Rep!
Ones that are fucking respectful of their female counterparts
talking about their feelings
kind to their lover without being called a simp
plus size
guys being allowed to be gentle and not seen as weak or inferior
openness rather than being closed off all of the time
I want to see witty and quirky characters + humor that is shown around EVERYONE
femininity and vulnerability, crying, breakdowns, etc.
varying sexualities
real emotion, crying, and for it be okay for them to do that
treats women like equals without having to be “taught” how to by a love interest
caring about others without being portrayed as awkward and/or flirtatious
emotions and kindness
showing emotions that isn’t anger
not being misogynistic
smart but not the typical ‘nerdy geek’ just there as an encyclopedia for the MC
Men who are comfortable with being emotionally open (and them being emotionally open DOESN’T automatically mean they’re gay
emotional maturity and having healthy relationships and behavior
showing affection to their platonic friends
respect toward others
male characters that are “motherly” Let them cook, clean, sew, and be good with kids
male characters who are perceptive and understanding
male characters with realistic, practical muscles
wanting hugs and getting giddy over little bits of affection
male characters who wear heels (even if the rest of their outfit is traditionally masculine)
black male protagonists
emotional strength instead of physical strength
males that let the non males take charge and our respectful
realistic bodies and insecurities
more males characters exploring their identity
males who have hobbies, they’re passionate about
physically and mentally strong and resilient. Protective, but respectful and supportive
not being overtly attractive and being okay with it
emotionally guarded without being cold or angry
more sympathy, less naïvety to the female protagonists feelings
stylish dudes who aren’t gay (not that lgbtq+ rep is bad it’s just a tiring stereotype)
guys friendships and protectiveness of non love interests
male characters being feminine without them being queer coded or comic relief
them finding a healthy way to cope with problems
healthy paternal figures that do not die in the saga please
big scary guys with hobbies like crochet, sewing and reading books for rescued animals
soft and loving and caring all the time who cry and are hurt and not badass all the time
be soft and kind to everyone, not just their bae
cool mysterious and stuff but not flipping depressed characters please stop that trope
them crying, having close female friends, being lgbt+(especially trans men), showing emotions
male characters that aren’t possessive/obsessive and know how to accept “no”
raising kids without a love interest involved
societies with men that aren’t stereotypical
male characters that aren’t naturally good leaders
a really straight guy having a really gay best friend
seeing more male characters be comfortable in expressing their feelings and emotions

I finally have this introduction ready for you ^V^
Who am I?
I am a 26 soon-to-be 27 year old person from Denmark going by the names Marco or Njor - both works ^V^ my zodiac sign is taurus and the chinese zodiac is the pig. I am introverted autistic nerd who loves animated series especially the queer ones and I also have a soft spot for everything mythology, a love that started with Danish cartoons about Norse mythology and then later Percy Jackson. I strive to live as a kind and honest human being and I will be meowing at you if I feel comfortable so I am basically a 5,10′’/179 cm tall cat.
What is my gender and pronouns?
I am AFAB and identify as nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them. I am pre-medical transition and only started socially transitioning. Someday I’d love top surgery and maybe/maybe not take hormones as well.
What is my sexuality?
I am asexual and on the aromantic spectrum so aro-ace for short.
What are my hobbies?
I spend a lot of time drawing yet do also own some guitars and ukuleles that I like to pretend I can play decently. I can play enough to make some songs ^V^ I sing in an amateur choir once a week and also enjoy open mics in my city sharing my songs with other likeminded artistic wierdos (affectionate) Otherwise I love reading - which will mostly be fantasy or queer contemporaries - or keep up with some good shows especially if animated. Very seldom I enjoy lowkey cosplaying but I mostly “just” do Nico di Angelo because I like him x’D I also have a Castiel cosplay and a Pippin Took cosplay and I am kind of saving up to cosplaying one of my own characters xD
What kind of art do I make?
I mostly do fanart of my favourite movies and series and/or characters I like. Sometimes I’ll also share my original characters. I use both digital media (paint tool sai version 2) and traditional media (pen and pencil, sometimes coloured pencil too).
What kind of media do I like?
Here’s a non-exhaustive lists of fandoms I feel like I am a part of that you may or may not see me post/reblog on this blog:
Tales of Arcadia, Riordanverse, The Owl House, How to Train Your Dragon, Shadowhunter Chronicles, Osemanverse, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Arcane, Lord of the Rings, She Ra and the Princesses of Power, Supernatural, Pixar, Encanto
May you draw my characters?
You are more than welcome to draw my characters yet keep it SFW. All characters can be found on my toyhouse here - you guys would probably mostly be familiar with Mars and Pau.
Leftie or rightie?
I am lefthanded yet somehow still try to catch everything with my right - guess that could be one excuse for why I am this clumsy
What are things I cannot live without?
My headphones, some sort of comfort or stimming toy (rn that is plushies), drawing tablet and/or pen and paper
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask ^V^
