Thank you my dearest @sincerelywhistler for creating this iconic thumbnail, you’re the bestest 💞

Hot boi summer may be over but….

Hot Girl Summer is Forever

My beloved spooky fear demon OC, Andromeda of course gets to participate in the time honored tradition! She’s having a hot girl summer Megan thee stallion would be proud of. What’s this scary lady getting up to you might be asking? Two words:

✨Skinny Dipping✨

looking at my gif ideas list and feeling absolutely nothing has to be one of the most crushing feelings as a creator

“How are you doing?” It’s 1:20 am and I’m obsessing over a musical about trains! What about you?

[anachronistic-falsehood]

👊 {{ Gabriel, in a white knight "is this guy bothering you" kind of way-- am I hallucinating or is that Mirage I see on your roster- }}

Mirage can't say she's particularly friends with anyone at the school. That'd mean talking to people—and while she's not against starting up a conversation, when historically most of those ended up spiraling into something of an existential breakdown, people learned to keep chats with her short and sweet.

Wasn't a surprise that interactions tended to be a little sparse.

It does make being on her ass for the second time this week something of a startle, though. But the last time was an accident, and the guy who did it had some decency to them, at least; this equally unfamiliar fuckface—new freshman, maybe, thinking they're some sort of hotshot—is laughing and jeering something she can't quite hear over the sound of her internal systems kicking up and the fluttering of loose papers drifting down to the ground.

Her fingers scrape against the floor.

But before she can even get up and deck this idiot in the face, someone steps up to intervene. There's a dim sort of familiarity to him—might've passed him by in the halls or something. But either her assailant knows him or he has a reputation she's entirely unaware of, because the laughing just stops and they're gone by the time she turns her attention back toward them.

To be honest, though, she doesn't really care for the specifics. Mirage gives Gabriel a sidelong glance—or as much as her optic allows.

"If you decided to help out just because you have some sort of savior complex, thanks, but I can handle myself."

Bold words from someone still on the floor and has her homework scattered across the hall.

Oooh, you are just the prettiest of blorbos... ♡

[chevvy-yates]

Sending out kudos to everyone who has shown their love towards Ryder for the past two years.

I love u all very much and every engagement, be it even just a like, means a lot to me.

I've intended to sorta make a cool post of some older vp of him as of today, September 17th, exactly 2 years ago I have created Ryder,— back then as a supposed supportive character for Vijay, very unsure if I would like him as Ry didn't visually turn out as I wanted him to be in the first place and he never went that way either afterwards — yet I find myself writing those lines instead.

I've accepted his look and his imperfection started to grow on me with each picture I took of him. Unlike my other ocs he went his own way leading me along to discover his personality. That's what makes him so different compared to my other blorbos and has me so attached to him.

I did not plan to make him a raver (he was supposed to become an 80s goth punk, a total different style than he's got now) neither that he would end up with a rogue AI controlling him. Only his name, basic info and the toxic family story was planned right from the beginning but that's pretty much it – Ryder showed me the rest of it.

Within the year 2023 I noticed more and more that Ryder has slowly but surly turned out to be my main character.

He turned out to be the most expressive and photogenic one of them all. I don't see him as the prettiest looking either yet he's my most precious and I love every pixel about him.

He's the one thing in my life I am actually truly 100% proud of.

Almost all my ocs exist because of him. They are his support characters. Without him half of them would not even exist. There would be no Thyjs. Even Garnet exists so Ry can live out his passion (that was not really put into the game but exists as lore: Technoise).

I am beyond happy to have created him.

He helps me in a lot of rather personal ways too I do not need to address here.

I got so much to tell about him (also about my other ocs) yet idk if I should continue or not as I find myself stuck with overthinking about it bc of lack of public response literally everywhere (this excludes private chat talks with close friends). Maybe Ryder's too intimidating (not the first time I would read that), his lore gets overlooked easily, or it's to much (confusing) text.

I cannot make anyone force-like him. Tastes are different. Minority is into others oc lore. Less time to read it all. The list is long. I'm aware of it all.

But I cannot underline it enough: do never hesitate to ask me questions about him. He's on my mind 24/7 and my biggest wish is to get this story out and done some day (whenever it will be) and receive some actual feedback on it what was liked.

Just a tiny detail is enough. <3

Another wish I have ever since I joined the CP77 fandom: that people would go back to comment each other more. We all do have little time for it, we all think "oh no so much text to read", we all are in our own bubbles rarley coming out to explore another bubble within this universe. It takes a lot of effort to do. people do seem scared on top to write anything at all for numerous reasons. I have all those problems as well. But I try to sit down and read the one or other lore chunk others wrote down and give a tiny comment as best as I can to make the creator have a smile on their lips. I truly wish we all would do this at least once a week to one person. once a month would be also fine. But if we don't this fandom will be dead soon enough and all thats left is just liking vp with characters on it we know almost nothing about. And maybe even those characters won't have lore anymore bc people stop creating it.

[mikuni14]

You know that a BL drama is Something Else or just Fucking Good (or both) when it throws in a bold sex scene that would usually set the fandom on fire for weeks, but after which the fandom reacts:

"Oh, Jin and Phee had sex? coolcoolcool... but how does that relate to their Schrödinger almost-boyfriend Non?" 🤔*puts a board on the wall with a complicated network of interconnections between the characters*. And the days after an episode with literal sex scenes, instead of squealing and creating a million gifs, fandom spends this time on meticulous analysis and creating meta about it and The Horrors 🙂 Not to mention, that after the episode with such a high heat scene, the fandom generally reacted like, coolcoolcool.... but have you seen my new blorbo?? 😤😍 Meanwhile the new blorbo: a pathetic dude who isn't even the prettiest of the cast or even in a BL relationship and is actually technically poisoning the BL element of the BL series lmao

It was similar with Love For Love's Sake. We knew it was a Very Unique series because it created a beautiful and romantic relationship and the fandom was like: ohhhh, how beautiful and romantic 🥺🥺🥺 BUT,

(And my personal fav, Pit Babe, after which the fandom, or at least the part I see most often, went crazy about and focused on relationships that did not even exist in the series, which I still laugh about. It means that Pit Babe is a 👌 series as well lol)

Arielly Vespertinai

Here comes a buff disabled hot gal with the wheel steel chair!!

I love my post-canon little blorbo more than anything else, you dont understand. I couldn't help myself but put entry her.

...I dont have much to offer as why you should vote for her other than: have you seen her? She could crush your head between her thighs. She could step on you with a metal leg. She has the prettiest brown eyes the world has seen. You could spend eternity kissing each freckle on her face and shoulders and back. Imagine being tired of walking and you have someone stong enough to carry you as passenger princess (regardless of gender lol) in her wheelchair. Isnt that perfect?

Arielly is adventurous, dance-machine and loyal. She's very stubborn, but a ride-or-die for the people she holds dear. She may or may not have an account for arson. She's the type of person whose friendship feels better than therapy. She will help you hide a body. She will kill a man for you. She will lavish you in gifts and attention and enough money to bail you out and pay for the best attorneys. She will not, in fact, realize you like her beyond friendship unless you directly shake her by her shoulders screaming this fact in her face. But its okay, she's just attraction-blind. Nobody's perfect, though her mix of sharpness and softness might lead you to believe that. Truly, the best of both worlds.

🎵 Smash the competition, baby

Show us some good entertainment 🎶

Pretend I know how to shade muscles properly, please and ty (T-T). For some reason, even with maxed-out sliders in cas, you can barely peek at her abs and thigh muscles in-game.

Look at that profile, though. Are you seeing that profile? Ethereal. Gorgeous. (Can you tell I love her yet? That regardless of anything, she's already a winner in my heart?)

I need everyone to see her. The world doesn't know what its missing by not seeing this amazing woman at least once in their lives. Have you seen her now? Truly, a blessing.

[fourquartertoast]

just a halloween costume idea from a marylily fic i scrapped

the marauders + lily go as characters from classical literature:

lily is anne shirley from the anne of green gables series, dressed in a checked green and white frock and ginger plaits.

sirius is emma from jane austen's emma, with his hair up all neat and wearing his prettiest evening gown.

remus is a generic greaser from the outsiders with his hair overgrown and slicked back, having stolen sirius' only brown leather jacket so as to best fit the part.

peter is oliver twist, so he's got dirt and ash smears all over himself and ratty clothing (spoiler: I've never read oliver twist).

it was actually a really wholesome and sweet scene. I loved writing it. they were all so CUTE and HAPPY and I forgot how nice it is to write fluff for the blorbos and gdfhfjdhvjfhgdjfhgffjdhvjfdhvjfh

meanwhile james is dressed as jesus -

[disorganizedkitten]

Yes hi hello, I'd love to hear ur thoughts on the al ghul children

Hi yes hello I'd love to talk about them

I am so weak to assassin children you have no idea so anyway

The Al Ghul Children. Are so freaking TRAGIC and I can never get over them

So you have the baby generation which is Mara and Damian and Athantasia; then the original generation, which is Dusan, Nyssa, and Talia.

Attie straight up doesn't exist in most media but in the game(?) where she does she's Damian baby sister who was kept a secret until he couldn't go back to being with the bats. I think about her all the time. What did she know about Damian growing up? Did she ever want to meet him? How many times did she sit in the middle of the night and wish for her brother to do something unforgivable so he could come back? Or was she glad he was gone? The league canonically pits their kids against each other, did she grow up resenting him? Or, even if she liked the idea of him, did she resent him anyway for being the child who went to Bruce? Did she take up Damian's place in the duels with Mara?

Athantasia isn't used nearly enough for her potential she is blorbo-shaped.

And then Damian! Itty bitty baby boy with a sword and issues. I think so much about how he's naturally soft but he can't be because of circumstance. How many quiet moments were lost to blood, how long did it take for him to learn what a genuine human connection felt like? What if he never did? I've been around humans I love since I was born, and I still sometimes feel absolutely disconnected from them. How much superiority is covering for insecurity? We've seen him make friends, Maps, Colin, Jon, as the three I actually care about, and he likes them. Did he make friends in the league? What happened to them? Or did he just, for lack of a better word, imprint, on other assassins?

In a complete other fandom I'm propagating biting as a love language and Damian has that vibe too.

and MARA

Holy fudge Mara also sends me; being constantly raised not only as a weapon, but being told you're the second best weapon and that maybe you can gain more prestige if you beat your cousin in a deadly duel, except even if you do win you know you will never get the recognition you're trying for because his mother is favored and your father isn't

Were she and Damian ever close, or as close as they could get? Did they plan how to lead the league when they weren't trying to take each others' eyes out, did she ever meet Attie, did she take her anger on Damian out on Attie, is the red streak something she does to hide a lazarus streak or is it natural from her dad? Can she see out of her other eye? Where did she see herself in the league before Damian deserted? Is she close to her teammates in the fist or are they just the prettiest canon fodder Ra's could send?

Is there a part of her that is as relieved to be hunting Damian down as it is angry, because at least fighting him is familiar?

The older three also make me Feel Things but not as much as the kiddos.

Nyssa apparently survived the holocaust? And then Ra's murdered her kids and then repeatedly killed her and dropped her into the pits for... something? I don't remember if I ever learned why that happened, but it did and it's so horrid? Drove her to insanity, surprise surprise. I recommend Misericordia and it's sequel on ao3 if you want to cry over Steph, Damian, Talia, and Nyssa. And then the Nyssa Al Ghul & Tim Drake Tag, if you're feeling adventurous. I don't even know the NAMES of Nyssa's kids and that makes me incredibly sad.

Would they have gotten along with the other three? Would they have taken them and ran? Or would they train them, keeping their bloodline strong, and just quietly know that these are their cousins and they're so proud?

And Talia gets rewritten every other writer but there are so many options when characterizing her and they're so much fun. But also everyone else deals with her so jumping to the next one. I think Talia is also the youngest? Don't quote me on that

Anyway last al ghul I think too much about is Dusan. I can't remember if he's the oldest or the middle child but despite being Ra's' male heir he straight up got sent away because he has albinism? And then he fought his way back into his father's ranks under an alias? He went so far for approval and he's still overlooked, and his kid is considered second rate, even though he's personally considered to be terrifying?

How long did it take him to come back? Why didn't he stay away? Does he ever regret it, now that he's back in the league?

i just. There are lots. and lots. of thoughts about them. And I'm sure there are more al ghuls hiding somewhere for me to lose my everloving mind over but I haven't met them yet

the inherent hate of someone who has everything you think you want battling with the inherent love for someone who has gone through the same horrors you have

glance, stillness & favorite for Griffith?

For Griffith?! For the pretty boy?! Thank you for the opportunity to talk about the prettiest boy in all of House Tyrell 🙏🏻

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

I think it's just how delicate his features are, like, that is his mom's face. And on Ella, those features are sharp & pretty distinctive, you slap that on a boy though & suddenly he is a delicate little bird who is so, so pretty. I think if you had to pick a standout feature, maybe his lips? They're fuller than Ella’s so the shape is more pronounced (& is adding to the prettiness of the Pretty Boy™)

If you want to get into "comparatively, this is standout," then is his height in comparison to the other men at Thorn Hall because he managed to be 5'11" (RIP House Tyrell of Thorn Hall, y'all are maxing out at 5'9"), & his eyes in comparison to most people he hangs out with. He's got double Grandpa Alaric Stark's eyes while his dad & sisters have brown eyes & his mom's side of the family all have purple eyes.

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

Griffith is pretty stationary. He has good posture & is maybe even a little stiff, especially in comparison to his dad who stands around posed like a marble statue right after the Ancient Greeks figured out contrapposto. A lot of what he wears is very buttoned up, & so he holds himself pretty straight-up-and-down. Least jaunty lad in the game. He's also definitely one of those "I rest my hands on my sword because I'm not sure what else to do with my hands" types.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

Garth Greenhand themed cloak clasp that is based off of this necklace

So there's one hand on one side, & the other hand on the other, & then the little green gem hangs in the middle/between the open cloak bits.

And he wears this all the time. He has one (1) Blorbo & being a Garth Greenhand Fanboy is half his personality. The other half is being a slut.

What is your favourite fic you ever wrote/are currently writing?

And also do you have any fic recs with Alabaster? I just finished Son of Magic a few weeks ago due to my friend's insistence lol

oh. oh my god. i love when people ask me about fics i love when people ask me about writing stuff i love when people ask me for recs. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ok i will be Very Normal for this ask. proceeding,

i dont think i could be asked to pick a Favorite™️ fic because ive written (and left unpublished and/or unfinished) so many and theyre quite a variety and all very near n dear to me for different reasons. i think my zylla fic has some of my "prettiest" writing. (yes it's unfinished but i have a lot of love for the pairing, so i still do want to finish it, but the finale chapter is so SO daunting that my brain just kinda goes blank when i open the numerous drafts i have.) among the ones i'm actively working on rn, from eden (percalabeth/smartwatermagic fic) and a lukalypso wip are what my brain is currently picking at bc the relationship dynamics make my brain go brrrrrrr. unfortunately i like writing complicated af relationships so... my favorite fics are also the ones giving me the hardest time HAHAHHAAHAH

and on finishing Son of Magic recently; WELCOME TO THE CLUB!! join the dark side hehehe he's so blorbo-shaped. alabaster fic recs below the cut because i fear this is getting quite long...

Quintessence by amallpena - HoO rewrite with Alabaster in the crew and Jason/Alabaster as the pairing; super fascinating!

Heroes Never Die (Right?) by @m4gp13 - a fic about Ethan's last few days before his dead, amazingly and painfully written; Alabaster is not the main character here but he and Ethabaster are very prominent. If Alabaster's tidbit about the post-Manhattan TA amnesty/massacre fascinated you, this will tickle your brain

servete by @chirp-featherfowl - oneshot glimpse into life on the Princess Andromeda; The Implications of the Hecate Siblings™️...

prelude to sunrise by crystallines - sigh... the canon divergence au where alabaster saves ethan's life... these boys deserve happiness

river (@everythingwasalreadypicked) and phoenix (@phoenix--flying) each also have a SHIT TON of lovely alabaster fics in their ao3 profiles, too many to rec here xD idk how these guys write so much its crazy

[kattythingz]

For the ask game thing, J K R X!

Hoooh? You're approaching me? Well, if you dare...

J - what’s your favorite fanfic trope? Have you written it?

I ADORE A VERY SPECIFIC FLAVOR OF CANON REWRITES. Basically: what if canon but my blorbo was treated as the love interest (and all the cliches that come with that, yes, hello I love whump) and my ship is endgame?

Think literally just Crown. The entire concept came to me years ago because I wanted, so desperately, to see a world where Ed was basically treated as Ling's love interest. And how that would change the plot! How would their relationship develop? How would they act AFTER they're dating? Blorbo treated as love interest + established relationship MY FUCKING BELOVED.

I did it to Ed again with Reliable Conclusion; I did it long before that to Stiles with Sweet Disaster; and I've most definitely contemplated doing it to Shinichi in a kaishin "what if Shinichi played Aoko's role in Magic Kaito" au.

If this trope has no fans left, it's because I'm DEAD.

K - do you have a guilty pleasures in fic (reading or writing)?

Oh, dude, SO MANY. SO SO MANY. I've already said I like my favs being treated as love interests, so you can imagine all the "stupid cliche" positions that I like to write said favs into. I CAN'T HELP IT MAN. I know my blorbos are competent in canon, and I'll never erase that! Any "weak" situation I ever write them into HAS to make canonical sense to me, otherwise I just. I can't.

But also, what's wrong with a strong character needing to be saved? Ed, for example, altho yes yes he's disabled, is also just human. Even without his automail kicking his ass, as a human he can still inherently be weak! You just need to know where to apply that weakness!

Also I really like dressing my favs pretty, heh. I FIND THEM PRETTY AND THUS THEY DESERVE TO LOOK THE PRETTIEST. TIS THE LAW!!!

R - which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?

Right off the top of my head, SiryyGray from Capra comes to mind. The way they tied Ed's flashbacks into the narrative so time feels WACK. The way their writing style is so damn atmospheric and vintage somehow, like you're IN those 1940s with Ed. THE WAY THEY TIED THAT WHOLE BOY WITH A COMPASS STORY INTO THE LARGER NARRATIVE AND IT HELD THEMATIC MEANING? I ATE THAT SHIT UP.

Their writing style definitely directly influenced mine! Honestly, I've caught myself thinking back on Capra a lot whenever I'm trying to write certain scenes in my own fics.

I can also cite The Map to Everywhere book series (highly recommend) as direct inspo that taught me to just, have FUN with formatting! Even in a published book! That series is my favorite in the whole world and it has so much fun with its visuals and formatting! I really admire it.

X - how would you categorize your fanfic reading? Are you a voracious reader? Do you carefully pick and choose? Something in between?

Oh, god no, I am DEFINITELY picky. Like, "I'm striving to become a professional literary editor" picky. I try so hard but unless your premise is EXTREMELY captivating and ticks all my trope boxes, then even slightly mediocre writing will turn me off at times. I can't unsee if there's a dialogue tag every single line; if the punctuation's bad; if two characters speak in the same paragraph. Every fanfic pet peeve you can think of, I've clicked off a fic from.

It's unfortunate, because I remember being 12 and reading every cool sounding fic I could get my hands on. But my writing's evolved a lot over the years. And so have my expectations for fics because of that. It's not rlly sth I can turn off in my brain anymore, as much as I wish I could sometimes.

[scarefox]

trick or treat! who's your current fave blorbo and why?

-@jeffsatyr

uh oh omg uhm ok I am leaving my longterm blorbos out of this to make the pool smaller but I still have to nominate 2

Mas from "The Hidden Moon" because he's such a weird, snobbish, sappy, sus and horny ghost who can be mean too but he just needs some love from his (maybe) human bf.

Namping from "Every you, every me" (ep3-4) loveliest, cutest, prettiest, tragic, seductive babygirl who broke everyone's heart 😩 also the first person shots of him can kill. look at him (A+ fashion sense too)
