#just content myself with making silly fanart and fanfiction for now

D.A.M.N sleepover shenanigans!! Diya's hiding her face cuz she's camera shy

The ship name switch actually comes from manga/anime fandoms! I haven't been in any recently, but back in ye old days people could get very intense about who tops and who bottoms and switches were practically unheard of, so the names were kinda necessary. NaruSasu vs SasuNaru for example. You won't believe how much people fought over positions, it even got parodied in some japanese media. On a slightly related note, are you okay with top al content where the characters are properly portrayed? Or none at all? No judgment, we all should enjoy the fandoms however we like ^^

Oh 👀 that makes sense I wouldn't have heard about it then. I watched a handful a anime, but the only one I dipped my toes into was My Hero Academia, and even then, I didn't go that deep. I read a few fics, but that was the extent of it.

Fighting over who tops, bottoms, and switches is so silly. An argument can be made for any character being a top, bottom, or switch, because sexual preference/positions isn't something that can determined by a handful of personality traits. There's no check-list a characters has follow to be "deemed" a top. Or a bottom. Or a switch.

At the end of the day, it's literally just what the fan prefers for that pairing. And I think the more people accept that they can like specific dynamics without having to argue for their right to like it, the better and less-toxic a fandom will be. You should never have to defend why you like a character, or a ship, or anything else, because sometimes you just like it. You vibe with it. No other reason required.

As for the top!Al content, it can be kind of tricky to deem something as "properly portrayed" when, technically, everyone's portrayal is going to be different, and every portrayal isn't going to be 100% in-line with the show.

I think considering something as properly portrayed is wholly dependent on the fan and how they relate to the show and the characters. No fanfiction or fanart is going to be completely true to the show or characters. I don't even think that's possible XD Fans inject so much of themselves and their experiences into fan-content, that every portrayal can be considered properly done given the right audience.

But, if top!Al and bottom!Luci were written in a different way--maybe something that didn't UwU-ify Lucifer so much or make Alastor out to be this big, domineering alpha-male--I think I could like it.

I'm very picky with characterization. There are some details I can easily overlook, but depending on how certain things are written, it can take me out of the story so badly I can't even force myself to finish reading. (Believe me, I've tried. I found a Spideypool fic once that was so well written it was love at first sight. The humor was on point, the plot was intriguing, the dynamic between them was fun, but there was a small, little, itty-bitty detail in their interactions that kept popping up and it took me out of the fic so bad, I couldn't keep going. I tried to finish the fic, multiple times, but I never got very far.)

Funnily enough, when I was first scouring the internet for content after the show ended, I actually bookmarked a handful of top!Al and bottom!Luci on Twitter. But with how it's currently being portrayed across the fandom, any enjoyment I had for it has soured. I just don't vibe with the majority of top!Al I see now.

I've always liked bottom!Al though, and I've been seeing a lot more content for it lately! I've been eating well 😋

since people apparently cant be formal im going to be: we dont use "q!" cuz people kinda dont want to talk abt the server, only spiderbit/guapoduo, so they decided to use "g!" or only "!", and when people are refering to other series they use the first letter of the series for example: "c!roier", i myself dont quite get the g!/! and understand why u dont like people not using "q!" when the universe they talking abt is qsmp

(people saw u complaining abt it here and start to shit on u without any context on twt and saying u complained that q wanst appearing in other fics even tho im pretty sure i didnt when ur distancing urself from him so i wanted to be formal :])

-🎀

(also can u explain y u dont like the "g!" or "!"???)

I can try to explain myself, but I'm also kinda crying answering this because I have a hard time with emotion regulation when I'm upset (autism thing)

OKAY! SO!

I don't really mind the new tag things? Like, I don't love them, but they're fine. If people want to distance themselves, that's fine. I'm distancing myself. Anybody who's been keeping up with my blog over the past half a year or so can see that I haven't really posted about the QSMP at all since Purgatory started. I haven't talked about Quackity at all outside of that shitshow of an awards ceremony in over a month when, for several years, I was a Quackity-centric blog (2021-early 2023)

My thing with the new tags, and with the Guapoverse thing in general, is that it really just isn't accessible for a larger audience. Sure, some parts of Twitter might understand it, but what about the rest of us?

As far as I can tell, the Guapoverse originated with a Twitter artist (Moone), and it blew up overnight. And I'm overall cool with it! It's a little silly, but so is fandom. I'm a fanfiction writer. Who plays Splatoon for like 4 hours every day. I know silly, and I love it

But then, BAM, I blink and everybody's abandoned the q! and they're changing their tags on Ao3 and making everything suddenly so much harder to find, and it's all about accessibility, isn't it? Like, don't get me wrong, I love a good multiverse, but when it inadvertently excludes a significant portion of the fandom, what are we supposed to do?

Like, say I go on Twitter looking for q!Pac fanart. But now it's so much harder to find because it isn't tagged or typed that way, it's !Pac, and that includes search results from every single au that has a ! in it, like if there was an au called AU!Pac? The !Pac would be in there. But I don't want to see AU!Pac, I want to see q!Pac.

And then there's the g! thingy. Like, that's fine, but a little more widespread of an explanation would've been nice. Like, what au does g! stand for? If you don't know what Guapoverse is, like A LOT OF PEOPLE don't, what are we supposed to think your art is? If we're looking for q!Cellbit art, we aren't necessarily going to like and retweet your art if it's labeled as g!Cellbit because we don't know that he's q!Cellbit.

It's kind of similar on Ao3, only that one's a little different because you can filter by relationship. But let's say you don't know how to do that. Let's say you're new to the website and you only know how to filter by fandom, because that's the first thing you learn how to do on Ao3- it's right there at the top of the front page: Browse By Fandom.

So you go to the QSMP tag looking for fics with Spiderbit/Guapoduo in them. But, here's the thing, you can't find any. Because they aren't being tagged QSMP, they're being tagged Guapoverse now even if the fics are being set in the QSMP setting.

It's just a general lack of fandom accessibility that gets me. I understand the distancing aspect, and I've been waiting for it to happen since the Elections when he Brazilian fandom started getting IMMENSE amounts of hatred from Gringo Chats. But it gets a little tricky when you're part of a fandom as large as this one is. How are we all supposed to share content and talk about things with each other if we can't even find each other anymore?

Like! I've lost so many cool fics I forgot to bookmark because they were taken out of the QSMP tag and moved into the new one! (The new one goes against ToS btw I believe, but go talk to a tag wrangler about that.)

People on Tumblr don't know what the Guapoverse is. TikTok doesn't. Reddit doesn't. Only Twitter does, and only a section of Twitter does. Because I haven't seen any English or French-speaking Guapoduo People talk about the Guapoverse, only Portuguese or Spanish-speaking people. And I get that the exclusion isn't purposeful and that the Guapoverse is meant to sort of heal everybody from the wounds the QSMP left, but I think that maybe even just spreading the news and not... you know... sending death threats and insults and smearing people's names would be better than this.

Thank you for politely asking. I thought I had made myself clear before, but I guess I hadn't.

I'm open to answer any more questions. I can't explain myself to my critics on Twitter, but I can answer your questions here, hopefully.

My Experience With Lily Orchard + Fuck Her

Now, if those of you who know me or have been following me for a while will know that I used to be a massive Lily Orchard fan. I used to support her, I defended her, and I was once a member of her patron even.

I’ve heard stories from people, former friends, former fans, about how much of a manipulating and nasty bitch she is. At best, she’s lashed out at fans for drawing innocuous fanart and for bringing up topics in stream that she doesn’t approve of (I’ve been there, I’ve seen it), and at worst she’s a lying abusive cunt who can’t help but make people around her miserable.

And while I’ve not been the subject of Lily’s abuse, I have been witness and bore the blunt of her passive aggressive horseshit, her manipulating situations to make me appear like a cunt for daring to correct her on an opinion of a book she never fucking read, her shamelessly putting me on blast in one of her videos where she insinuated I was stupid for asking a question about LGBT+ rep, for telling me and other fans to stop talking when we tried to defend our positions in chat.

I’ve had to walk on eggshells around her because I feel like every word I say or anything I do will be seen as an attack on her despite me being a fan of hers for literally fucking years and she knows this. I’ve been a fan of hers since I was 15-16 and I’m 22 now. With no other content creator have I felt the need to be so fucking careful of what I say.

And when I sent her an ask telling her that her yelling at others on stream for seemingly no reason was actively triggering me (mind you, in the nicest way possible because I couldn’t hurt Ms. Orchard’s feewings oh nuuuu) she ignored my ask. Do I have proof she saw it? No. Is she a large enough content creator that she receives so much interaction/asks on her tumblr that my ask got swallowed? Also No.

If you’re a Lily Orchard fan, I am not a needless hater, I am not a stalker or a troll or a bigot. I’m a transgender and biromantic/asexual person myself who is Native and actively participates in activities regarding my tribe and culture. I’m white passing like Lily is. I used to be a fan of hers for fuck’s sake and an active one too.

But here’s the thing - she’ll suck you in with her bold commentary and criticisms and some of it is genuinely really thought provoking and interesting. On the outset she has a “no tolerance for abusers” policy and she’s charismatic to an audience of teenagers who were being abused. Fuck, she helped me realise I was being abused and when the Toonkritic shit came out, that slowly started to help me realise I was being groomed by my exe (TheHauntedReader)

I convinced myself for the longest time that just because Lily wrote “Stockholm” that it didn’t mean anything. That all of her weird takes and opinions were just a quirky “haha i did this in my youth and i regret it” moment. But this isn’t 13-year-old me writing weird fanfiction between an adult and a child when I didn’t fucking know any better and was being actively groomed and abused, this was an adult who wrote CP and romanticised it and tried to get away with it and who should have known better!

And once you are a fan of hers, it’s hard not to become emotionally invested, especially if you’ve always seen her behaviour as normal, which I did. A lot of her fans are abuse/trauma survivors and she knows that. So many of us have confided to her that she helped us realise we could be happier and that we could escape. That we were more than our abuse. These are powerful things to talk about.

But she doesn’t care about us. Never has. Never will. She convinced me and has convinced others that us asking her stupid/silly questions is damaging to her. That it’s caused her so much emotional damage and stress that she can justify lashing out and verbally abusing her audience, y’know - the people who gave her a career. By her own admission, she hates us, but expects our support when she’s being harassed??

Girl, fuck off.

But that is just my own experience. I’ve seen some shit in the past couple of days that I can’t unsee and I encourage you all to look into it because it’s such a dark hole that the phrase “stare into the abyss for too long and it stares back” is what I feel like right now.

And I know why I feel like this - I invested energy and money and emotions into this woman and her channel. I’ve supported her. And no, Lily, this is not about me wanting to be your friend. It’s about me asking for some fucking decency as someone you at least know of and at most you know supported you? To not lie and misrepresent what I’ve said and then vaguepost about me?

Have I made mistakes? Yes. But that’s no excuse to berate and yell at people who have only asked stupid questions or fuck, even made goddamn harmless jokes??

Also, if fans/friends of Lily’s are harassing @asunnycoffee you guys are the fucking worst. Don’t fucking attack my friend you raging cunts. I have a couple ideas of who you might be, but I know you won’t air out your dirty laundry with me, Ginger.

You guys are pathetic.

Lily doesn’t care about her fans, she doesn’t care about her friends, and she’s certainly not going to start anytime soon.

hi kaz!! i was reading through some of the asks/responses you posted yesterday and i wanted to pick your mind a bit about your answer to one particular question. I think the ask itself was more about what tropes/kinks you like in f/f ships, but I was more interested in a certain portion where you talked about how you don’t post f/f stuff as much as you would like on your blog because it doesn’t get the same kind of attention.

( bear w me but im going to go on a tangent for a second here. i promise it’ll all come together ) last year i set a goal for myself to read 50 books just because i kind of missed how much i used to read when i was younger, and i wanted to see if i could still do it (and i could)! the reason why this is relevant bc i realized that…my taste in books is really different from my taste in fanfiction. im not really a big romance enjoyer, though i do read a lot of it because most of the books in the genres i tend to read include them as a major subplot. most of the romance i read was a roughly equal amount of m/f and f/f. i only read 4 books with m/m romance, which kind of surprised me because…pretty much all the fanfiction i read is m/m?? 

I guess your response just got me thinking about how differently i personally view/interact with ships/shows/etc. that I categorize in my brain as “fandom” content vs “IRL” content. I’m not sure if this distinction makes sense to anyone but me, but it’s basically just the stuff I post about on my blogs or write fanfiction about or make fanart of vs. literally everything else that I enjoy reading/watching. 

I think fandom as a whole is so centered around m/m that it almost feels like an unspoken rule that m/m ships are cooler, better, more popular—you can ship f/f , of course, but doing it is almost like a statement, or it’s a random side-pairing that people throw in there to even things out or something. When it comes to the books/shows I talk about “IRL”, there’s a much greater diversity in the kinds of characters and relationships I enjoy. But within the sphere of fandom, I find that the kind of content I create/post/reblog is much narrower in scope. It’s this subconscious policing that I think I’ve always been aware of, but never really put into words until now. 

I guess my experiences are also heavily colored by the fact that I’m aroace and find pretty much all genders/bodies aesthetically desirable. I generally don’t really have much interest in searching for a particular gender dynamic; if i like everything else about the fic, then i’m pretty happy with whatever’s put in front of me (which, in fandom, is pretty much always m/m). Also, a lot of times that I read a certain fic I’m doing it more bc I care about the individual character/s involved than the ship itself, because, again, I’m a casual romance fan at best, but I understand that within fandom, shipping seems to be the way to examine/analyze/whatever characters and character dynamics. (This reflects in my writing too. Renkaza is the main ship i write for these days, but as much as i love akaza, i'm usually writing my silly lil fics for kyojuro. He's my Guy, he's the Character i'm rotating in my mind always)

All this being said, I understand that it’s probably very different for someone who does have specific preferences that just don’t seem to get the same attention in fandom. This is getting kind of long and nonsensical, but basically, I just wanted to ask if you had anything else to say on the subjects of women in fandom/shipping culture/character discourse or other things like that. 

Anyway, hope you’re having a good day! here’s another frog:  𓆏

Hiiiii Bog!!! And yeah! Ofc! I'll do my best to articulate and answer, sorry if this gets a bit convoluted or complicated, I'm gonna try and keep it streamlined. (Also I'm so sorry, it didn't stay contained, pls do not feel you have to read all of this LMAO)

First! Congrats on reaching your reading goal! I also used to read a lot when I was younger, but I haven't done so in... years atp, and I'm slowly starting to get back into it, so I understand the feeling!

I totally get what you mean by "fandom" vs "IRL" media/content as well. Or at least, I think I've got a kind of similar thing going on. There are so many pieces of media that I genuinely love so much that I just... never talk about on here, because I don't really feel a desire or need to "fandomize" them. Like, since this is mostly an anime blog, using it as an example, out of my top twenty fav animes, there are 8 I have basically never talked about on here, 7 I only post about in passing (as in, happened to stumble across a gifset or something and reblogged it), and only five that I'd say I "participate in fandom" with. And then ofc, there are SO many pieces of media that aren't anime that I genuinely love a lot that I don't/barely post about on here, or interact with the fandom

I have a few theories for why certain pieces of media are "fandomizable" to me, while others I genuinely never feel the urge to do that with them, despite genuinely loving them. One is that I've found I have a very hard time doing fandom if it's a live action piece of media. I wish I could articulate why, I've tried before, but I fear we'd just end up with a confusing mess haha. The literal only one is dw, and even then, I don't read fic for it, barely look at art, mostly just like reading analysis and theories on it.

The point is! I get what you mean haha

But the main reason kinda circles back to what you said about shipping, and how that is generally the way that people engage with fandom, and characters and media in general within fandom spaces. I'm mostly going to engage with the fandom if there are ships I can enjoy within the piece of media, because I know that's going to be what most people are creating fan content about. For all I joke and post about "there's more to media than shipping" ik most fandom ppl are probably like me, and have a lot of media where shipping is barely acknowledged at all, and just come to fandom for that specific aspect of it.

Another is if the media has extremely compelling characters, but is lacking a bit plot wise because I feel the urge to "fix" it and want to explore that either via my own fics or reading other people's. Basically, I'm only going to "do fandom" with a piece of media if there are other avenues of the story I'd like to truly explore because canon either disappointed me, or had other alternate routes that imo are just as interesting (if not more so) than the one we got in canon.

And, obviously, there are lots of pieces of media that don't fit that criteria. So I don't engage with fandom for them. At most I will sometimes write character or relationship study fics for them, but that's about it

So, getting into fandom in regards to femslash, these characters and relationships I want to explore more are generally women and sapphic relationships. Of course, there are a lot of m/m ships I can enjoy in passing, and I might click on a fic for them if it strikes my fancy, but largely, I just don't care enough to create my own fics for most of them, or even necessarily deliberately seek it out. Renkaza is very much an exception for me, and not the rule

Like say, Dungeon Meshi. I love Falin and Marcille. I love their relationship. I love the way they affect the plot and story. I love seeking out fic and art of them. I have little snippets of farcille hidden away in my drive, as well as plans for other fics about them. But then looking at say, Laois, Kabru, and Labru, I just.... don't feel the urge to do that with them. I don't dislike these characters or this ship. They just inspire a very "Okay, cool I guess" reaction in me. And most of my interest in Laois and Kabru is based in very canon analysis of them, without going into headcanon or shipping territory. And that same sentiment seems to carry over to the vast majority of media I engage with.

I think the most glaring example is Genshin Impact. I can so honestly say I don't care about the male characters, with exactly two exceptions. I just don't. I don't think about them, I don't want to read fic about them, I don't ship any of them. If I see it, I say "okay" and then move on. But the female characters... they're pretty much the whole reason I play the game. I want to explore their characters, I think about them often, there are lots of different ships between them I think would be interesting to explore.

And I think there are a couple of reasons I feel this way about female characters and femslash that I'll try to articulate here.

The first is that as a kid, I often got very, very upset that most media only had one token "girl character" whose main personality trait was "being the girl character." I also got upset that pretty much all girl centric media were things like disney princess movies and the like. So as I got older, and learned I could find media where girls and women had many, many more roles, could be genuine main characters in things that weren't girly romances, there could be more than one female character. And those female characters could interact with each other and have deep relationships just like the male characters! So I just got very, very attached them as a teenager, and I think part of that follows me even now

There is also that degree of relatability that I mentioned in the original post. I'm not a girl, but I am sapphic, and am at least 80% of the time read as a woman within my life, and absolutely live as one. That inspires a sort of kinship with female characters that I just don't have with male characters, even ones I deeply relate to for other reasons. The same is true for sapphic romantic relationships. I'm an ace lesbian, some flavor of aro too, but I feel an undeniable type of draw to women that I simply don't with men. So relationships between two women "make more sense" to me in a way. It's easier for me to "see" how and why they would work. For m/m, everything has to be so specific for me to go "ah yes, I get it, I see." With female characters, there's a lot more variation that makes me go "ah yes I see it and get it" because I can apply how I feel to fill in the gaps. And again, I can also get that gratification from them that I just can't with m/m

I also just... have a lot of trauma with men? It is one of those things that I very much acknowledge is a me problem, and is something I am very consciously working on and trying to get over, but it's so much easier for me to get closer with women irl, I always go to women in professional settings if I can have a choice, etc. I am working very hard on being more comfortable around men, esp men I don't know well, but! It is an aspect of me. And I'm sure it probably taints my enjoyment of male characters and male-centric fiction to a certain degree. It's perhaps one of the reasons I just, so much more rarely get genuinely attached to male characters

And finally, and this is starting to lead into fandom's Thing with female characters and femslash in general, but there is a spiteful part of me that wants to love these characters and ships that are often ignored for the same of m/m and sometimes het, esp when the het is a lot more focused on the male character. I see so much potential, so many things to explore in these characters and ships that so many people consistently ignore, and at a certain point, it has to be acknowledged that the common denominator is that they are women. When that is the only connection, it has to be considered that people don't care about them in the same way merely because they're women

Before I got into kny, my ao3 was actually about 50% femslash, 30% gen, 15% qprs, and 5% m/m and m/f. Most of those fics have long since been abandoned for unrelated reasons, but the point is, m/m wasn't a significant part of my fandom contribution until I got into Renkaza. And I stayed a very small ao3 account, before my stats fucking EXPLODED when I started posting Renkaza. Those fics gained traction and attention in ways my femslash simply never did

And it... sucked to see, to put it mildly, haha. It sucked knowing I could pour just as much time and effort into these femslash fics as my m/m, and they would receive fractions of the attention. I don't necessarily write for the engagement, but I won't pretend I don't like it, and it hurts when the things I make are largely ignored, especially for... reasons like that. Here is actually a post I made not too long ago going into the INSANE differences in the stats of my m/m vs femslash fics which I think sums it up pretty well

All my original projects have female main characters, with a sapphic relationship being the main one, even if it's not a romance focused plot (because to be honest, I'm not a huge romance fan, and much prefer when the romance is a background thing to a bigger plot, it's just that it would be nice if those smaller romances happened to be lesbian haha). And like I've mentioned, I make and plan a lot of femslash fandom content. But I just.... don't feel like sharing it when these are the responses I receive. It makes me feel bad, and want to stop making it all together. So I'd rather keep it to myself and just have fun that way, so I never have the opportunity to feel bad about it. I couldn't tell you the amount of Shinomitsu fics and ideas I have just rotting in my drafts, as just one example

I think fandom as a whole is so centered around m/m that it almost feels like an unspoken rule that m/m ships are cooler, better, more popular—you can ship f/f , of course, but doing it is almost like a statement, or it’s a random side-pairing that people throw in there to even things out or something.

I think you're very much onto something with the above statement. To fandom, male characters and m/m are simply the default. That's what you do. You go insane over the male characters and male ships, and we can sprinkle in an f/f pairing in the background, but to do anything more is to alienate yourself. You often end up in pockets of other sapphics because they're the only ones who... care. Which isn't bad. I love my fandom experience mostly consisting of engagement with other sapphics, but again, it does have that edge of sucking because you know this is the case because most other demographics simply do not gaf. When most sapphics are not the same way! So many of us still greatly enjoy male characters and m/m, a lot of them probably even more than me, but it just... doesn't go the opposite direction with femslash.

People may be engaging with more femslash outside of a fandom space due to that inherent default focus on the male characters and m/m like you said, but some might not be. And either way, it still kinda sucks that fandoms just... are more male-centric

It's one of those cases where I think fandom is reflecting an implicit societal bias, but no one wants to acknowledge that because they want to paint fandom as inherently progressive. "We don't hate women, look at all our gay ships! How could we be weird about women?" *proceeds to hate or ignore every female character ever, or come up with fifty billion excuses for why female characters are actually just NEVER interesting* and... it just makes me sigh. I think you see another version of this when it comes to characters of color vs white and light skinned characters, but we won't get into that tangent here

Because, despite what they seem to want to believe, people within fandoms are part of the world and society at large. Those prejudices are going to carry over, and pretending they don't doesn't help anything. There is going to be misogyny, and racism, and transphobia, and transmisogyny, because it exists in the real world. Just because we're playing fictional pretend doesn't mean those things have vanished. And I think being consciously aware of that is the best way to avoid it and do better. Acknowledging you could be doing these things, working not to, and actually listening if someone points it out and not just going straight into denial. I bring up the misogyny most often because that's what I feel most qualified to point out and address, but I ofc think it's equally important to point out the other issues as well, and I try very hard to like. listen if other people do so, esp when they are part of those demographics that suffer from the prejudice

This has gotten rather long winded and serious haha, I didn't really mean to, but when it comes to female characters and femslash within fandoms, esp in comparison to m/m, I feel like it's something that needs to get brought up

There is very much a facet of this where I just genuinely attach more to female characters and get more interested in them, but I also like to focus on them so much to try and combat this issue. Which is why I'm once again posting a lot more femslash rather than just hoarding it all away just for myself. Even if hardly anyone engages with it, it's out there, which makes things a little better

I dunno. I always say I care most about the plot and dynamics of a story. Because, well, I do. If you described me two stories, and one had a plot that sounded interesting and characters I would get attached to, but they were all guys, vs a story about lesbians but the plot just sounds boring to me, I'm going to pick the former.

But... if you give me two stories that both sound equally engaging to me, I'm going to pick the female character centric-one over the male character centric-one in a heartbeat, and I just wish I was able to more often make that choice rather than the other one

Plot, character dynamics, all of that, is fundamentally always going to be the most important part of it all to me. But I can't deny that I attach to female characters so much more intensely as well, which tends to leave me in such an odd position a lot of wanting to engage with female character-centric things, but the actual story of them is just NOT as interesting as something male-centric. So I want to do what I can to help fix that, and I hope others start to think and do the same as well

ANYWAYS!!!! This got so incredibly long and rambly, but I hope this wall of word vomit at least somewhat answered your question?

Hello love!

❄️ (What's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?)

This is very hard to answer, because if I want something done with certain characters I very often try to write it myself (hence why I get sidetracked so frequently lol). But if I had to choose one dream fic of mine that I don't have the courage to write myself, it would be a more in-depth retelling of the Odyssey (maybe one where Odysseus gets home earlier 👀) with all the gruesome implications the original provided explored to the details. And as for who I think would write it best... I'm quite torn between three people. So, they can share the first place xd

@storm-elf , @inahandful-of-dust and @bgtea (because I adore their Entirely Out of Spite fic which explores emotions and grief very well)

It's really nothing fancy. I knew I wanted one that would remain ambiguous as to what my gender was so I could use it in peace everywhere I ventured. I kept the first letter of my given name and then just played with the alphabet until it sounded right (by no intention of mine, it does sounds like a fantasy name xd)

🎨 (link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it)

Alright, if I had to choose one specific one then the first one which comes to mind is this amazing fanart of Tony Stark. (There are of course a lot more but this one just makes me feel a certain way I can't really explain but I'll try!)

It's by Hallpen on DeviantArt. Definitely check them out, they have more amazing fanarts on their page.

Now, why I love this one so much. It's the warm colours, the smile on his face, the small heart on his chest and the snap of his fingers. It's perfect. I love it because it represents a version of Tony Stark we've never got see. The relaxed, happy even content version. Every time I look at it I see a Tony that was never betrayed by his friends, that never had to sacrifice his own mind to protect his loved ones. I see a man who didn't have to die for the good of the universe.

I grew up watching the journey this silly little inventor went on. I cheered and cried in the theater with and for this man. There won't ever be another Tony Stark for me. Even I can't quite comprehend the ache in my chest whenever I remember that he's gone. I miss him like I would miss a member of my family, because in a way this character has been in my life just as long as some of my oldest friends. I will never be that child again, who watched the Iron Man for the first time with awe in my eyes and it rips me open.

This fanart takes that pain and transforms it into a kinder sort of ache that still brings tears to my eyes but also a smile to my face, because seeing Tony Stark happy will always be my roman empire.

Oooooo, sorry for that ramble lol.

I have five things I can't get over. First person pov, REALLY bad grammar, mpreg, omegaverse and age regression (the 'only mentally' kind, I'm sorry but I can't stand it)

Thank you Lumi for the ask! ^^<3

About Me

I'm a hobbyist, mediocre artist at best, and wannabe fanfiction writer! I’m also an aspiring game developer and animator!

My commissions are OPEN! And they won't close for a while, so, no pressure or anything!

Right now, I’m focused on creating a bunch of fanmade content for my favorite show, Murder Drones. Currently working on a comic, in fact! But, in the near future, I hope to get into animation and programming so I can start working on my own projects, like an animated series!

This one's the blog where I post my shit!!! Like my fanart, shorter fics I don't feel like posting on AO3 (on my very secret account, it's very secret, no one could ever find me there), and, most importantly, stuff about my OCs and their little silly stories :3

If you’re looking for my reblogs and yapping sessions, check out my other blog: @kates-dump!

I don't ever plan on having a DNI list. I can't stop people from interacting with my account, and also wanna avoid blocking people as much as possible, since I'm here to share my content. That being said, I am in my own right to block or not engage with blogs that make me uncomfortable, which I already have done! I've had this account for a while so some people are already blocked, and I don't feel like going through all of them :p

I’m open for asks! Le box should be open.

DMs are only for friends and commissions, if you're a stranger and send me a message there without intent to commission me, I most likely won't reply.

As a final note: I’m not up to date with all the emoji combinations that might have "problematic" meanings. I’m not going to stop using emojis just because some people give them weird connotations. I combine emojis I find cute and pretty, and there’s no hidden meaning behind them whatsoever—except for 👁 🌺🌌 or ☀🪐, which I use to represent myself :3

💫

A warm welcome to new followers! Again, it's great to have you here. Please don’t ever feel obligated to reblog my posts. I love getting hearts, and comments go a long way too :]
