if you were here on tumblr fandom around 2015-2017. Maybe you know “julystorms” (mannatea now), she had a great blog and metas about levihan (and about the series in general). sadly she left the fandom four years ago due to she lost interest and some issues of the latest chapters of manga but still shes a banger along with DYFM. sorry for oversharing lmao.

sfdkjsdfja mannatea and dyfm are like levihan legends, i think pretty much everyone who ships levihan hardcore know of them despite when they joined the fandom here in tumblr, as their fics and fanarts are like the foundation of this ship. They are great, and I hope they are doing good wherever they are 💖

Mom, any idea who’s the guy/girl in the last panel of snk 132 — the one on the far right who’s bending over? The curiosity is killing me!

Yep. that’s Lynn, one of the soldiers on Mike’s squad along with Gelgar, Henning and Nanaba. I know this because I once upon a time I had a huge weakness for Gelgar x Lynn fic and rp blogs  so seeing her there with Gelgar brought back ALL THE FEELS 😂😂😂

The ship name was Gellyn which is a lot of fun to say :)

julystorms replied to your post: 1 & 6 for the writing meme?

am i the only writer who doesn’t drink-drink when i write? what’s up with that? maybe that’s why i’m so slow lately! :P

You might be, lmao. It can definitely help with inhibition sometimes, but it’s a comfort thing for most; not a necessity. I know a lot of writers who go out to get a fancy coffee for the same effect, and because they get a nice boost from caffeine, while my shy and sorry butt would get more out of a glass of wine. (But then, if there ever isn’t red table wine in my house for Emergency Marinara Making, that means my husband and I are both so deathly ill that we can’t crawl to the grocery store, and every member of his family is also so deathly ill that they can’t bring any over for a visit. So that might contribute :P.)

Let's get your uncensored thoughts on crazy-exgf. I love your salty posts about it even though I don't go there. ;)

Hey @julystorms​ Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a pretty good show. The first 2.5 seasons are brilliant and then season three has it’s second half…If my saltiness has toned down it’s because I have exactly seven days left in my master’s degree. If anyone knows what I should do with my life please inform me I am lost and confused.

I started watching the show just over a year ago when I was a stressed grad student in my first semester and it was the show I would have needed five years prior. It’s a musical and most of the music was great, the characters felt real and dealt with things such as mental health issues in a way that I had never seen on television before. It was life changing. Not only that, but it was the first fandom/TV show that I really felt like a part of and had expectations for. 

The first half to season three was mostly good, too much Nathaniel and not enough Valencia for my liking. Then the second half of season three happened and I just really didn’t like the direction they went with the show and which characters they focused on vs on who they didn’t and there were a lot of tone deaf implications especially in the final few episodes. I was salty for a while but I’ve lost my enthusiasm for the show and don’t trust the showrunners and their vision for the last season anymore. I feel about it how Valencia felt about Rebecca and Josh getting married. I’ll probably still watch season four and listen to the songs, parts of the show I still love and I will continue my fan fiction. But I’m not super enthusiastic anymore. I don’t have the energy to be salty anymore. I want to find other fandoms and figure my life out.

man the 2nd and last one are so good. i really need to catch up on your works, even for the fe games i don't play.

Thank you!

Honestly, “Drink Your Glasses Empty” was written to be explicable even to people who have never touched Thracia 776, because realistically speaking who the hell has? It’s the story of two friends across 20 years, and really that’s that. Likewise I think “A Knight In Reverse” stands on its own merits without people really knowing much about the Marth games, which is part of why I love both stories as much as I do.

Though in sheer terms of writing, I am pretty #$%^ing proud of “Tir na Nog.”

julystorms replied to your post: “Rosie appears to be getting said kind of treatment due of the many...”:

I feel as you do about Rosemary. I'm tired of her always being the butt of a joke, and I'm pretty sick of the sniping between supposed friends in this series. It wasn't bad when they were just getting to know each other but by the point of Rosie being in Elizabeth's wedding it just feels cruel? P:

It doesn’t surprise me, unfortunately.  Elizabeth is not all that nice.  There’s still a lot of snotty, entitled Hamilton rich girl left in her.  She’s sort of brought that out in Jack too.  It really rubbed me the wrong way how entitled they felt about their wedding and how it was going to save the town from the bank crisis (what?????).  Get over yourselves.  Also, Jack loved Rosemary.  They were engaged.  Let’s not forget that.  They’ve had really sweet scenes in the past but now it feels kind of different.  I don’t know.  Everything thinks these characters are so pure and wholesome but they’re not.  It’s okay that they’re not but let’s acknowledge the flaws.  The problem, in my opinion, is that Elizabeth is presented as ~not flawed~.

I know people won’t like this opinion but whatever.  Yet again, let me state that me not liking something has zero impact on you liking it.  It’s called an opinion and we all have them.  It’s cool.  Manna (julystorms) and I like very few of the same characters (she likes Bill???  why??? haha) and it’s fine.  It’ll all be okay.  Turn your anger to the show, not me.

i love your answers to all these memes they're so good

Thanks, it’s basically just my own personal opinions (so no hard feelings to those who DO like said ships) along with a lot of “uh, I dunno”. Some of those early crackpairs I just broke down my understanding for the characters, cause that’s all I had to go on XD

Also hope you all are ready for round 2. If you don’t want a flood of ask answers blacklist “meme” or “ask Dame”.

julystorms replied to your post “@ anyone: who knows where any Ninian & Nils fics are????? ……Asking for...”

I feel like most of the old nice ones were deleted years ago, but I remember this one having some nice interactions in it (though it's primarily an Eliwood/Ninian fic): https://archiveofourown.org/works/5829220

rip :((( i hate when people delete fics... thanks for sending me this one though!!!! I had read it awhile back, but it’s so good, it was nice to re-read <3

julystorms replied to your post: what drives a person to decide, hey, I’ll carry on...

this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine, i HATE IT!!!!

and like listen it’s not even a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, where I can just drive around on the shoulder or w/e, IT’S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX DRIVEWAY OFF A BUSY ROAD IN A CITY, I CAN’T GO ANYWHERE and worse yet was a line of cars waiting to turn in from the other direction so, uh, oblivious much?

Another anon but I didn't even notice what Boris have suggest at the time I read the chapter...what a trash man urgg Hitch is just too great I hope we will see her again (even if the chances are very slim)

#boris is trash will be my new hashtag if I ever need to write about him again. I love Hitch too. She’s an incredible character and I too am hopeful we’ll get an update on her in the epilogue.

If you ever want to explore art, meta and essays on every possible aspect and nuance of Hitch’s character,  @julystorms has a 25 page tag archive of hitch goodness. I‘d actually reread some July’s 2015 posts before answering that ask to make sure I was also remembering it correctly. 

Thanks for the ask!

julystorms replied to your post: julystorms replied to your post: ...

this is interesting and good to know. it was like everyone answering answered with some kind of alcoholic beverage and i’m over here like man am i missing out on some super secret thing? i need a nice good day and energy to write and i guess that’s why i tend toward caffeine (but i sure af ain’t leavin the house)

Yeah! Everybody’s different. I’ve never been able to process caffeine quite right (you may remember I used to drink it before bed in high school to help me calm down), but I’ve heard enough from others to know that it can help a sleepy writer get alert.

Skinner and Scully ;))

Nooo, I never liked this ship. I’ll read it but there are very few ships I don’t read. He is basically her dad. He’s a good dad. He’s Jackson and Dagoo’s grandpa. I would love to see a Skinner and Jackson (grandpa and grandson) road trip adventure where they end up at a motel run by Krycek (who also cheated death somehow). That would be a hilarious fic,

boot camp AU, your fandom/characters of choice. ;)

Your new icon keeps freaking me out.

I’m gonna base this on the time my druggie cousin got shipped off to a camp in Samoa (and not American Samoa, either), which then got shut down.

It’s not a nice place. The kids sent there come from families with resources– it costs a couple grand a month to send your kid to this “Academy” but it’s not much like the brochures when you get there. Rumor has it the Academy, run by a couple named Brendan and Sonia Reed, used to actually be a place where troubled kids turned over a new leaf in idyllic but structured surroundings, but from the way Mrs. Reed treats their own daughter it ain’t working anymore. 

Tine got shipped there by her aunt, and she was almost glad to be away from Hilda but Mrs Reed is just as scary as Hilda. At least the Reeds’ two older sons are pretty nice counselors? Also she and little Nino Reed become friends.

Some of the kids just seem to be getting weirder and weirder, shouting out catchphrases from TV shows and forming secret societies. Maybe Owain and Cynthia and the rest are getting too much sun. Maybe the whole place is about to burn.
