Thinking once more about the F/F AO3 stats issue. Really struggling with the urge to write "issue" there too, LOL.

I know that call-to-action doesn't always go well, and that I exist as a drop in the bucket compared to millions of Tumblrites & AO3 users. But the curse of seeing yet another post which discusses how horri-bad these stats are, when the differences within the individual fandoms is often so manageable. It drives me insane.

There's a couple versions of these "wow, M/M fics are more popular and that's bad because of X issue" posts that have screenshots of laughable disparities. Stuff like 500 more M/Ms than F/Fs. That is a genuinely amusing number, because with the help from a fraction of the thousands who share any post like that, this very scary gap would cease to exist.

So, anyway. I'm considering some sort of fandom roundup wherein I have folks vote on a fandom with F/F to M/M "disparity" which I will then run a "break the ratio" event on. Encouraging people to write fics until the ratio evens. IDK, is that something that people would be interested in? I could be crazy but this rubber room squeaks and I think the rats are talking about me.

Mom's Scales/ She's Here, I think I know what it's about based on the name alone from what you've told me about your aus and hcs, TELL US MOOREE

Ok so I didn't have a lot of words to give so I made some art

For context: The death of Links mother (only a few months after he was born) is a pretty recurring undertone of my four swords series Color Spectrum. Its effected their dad and Link's relationships a lot...

From their father grieving when Link was little and Link trying to pick up the emotional strain as a kid... to feeling like it was his own fault or like he was a burden due to how "difficult" he was as a teen. A lot of this was subconscious in Link before the manga, but it definitely plays a large role in their dynamics between each link and also each of their relationships with their father.

I can go into more details about this if you like, but that's more of a "What if I exploded and Generational Trauma just Splattered Everywhere" (#14) starring Red lol

anyways, I had this idea that like, links mother (im calling her Mia for now) got some freshly dead privileges esp considering her relationship with fairies and yk, giving birth to the kid with the soul of the ancient hero or whatever.

Point is she wanted a way to be able to come back and protect or aid her little one in some way in the future. Hylia gave her an offer and she took it. And uh-

Also forgot to mention shes Soo autistic <3 which is fun because link (or the linkS) are very autistic and that like??disconnect is what caused SO many issues between them originally, I really feel like links shaky relationship with his dad is overlooked but eh just my opinion

Listen this originally just started out as "lol what if the dragon from the manga was sweet and kind to shadow" but I'd also just finished thinking about how links dads grief paralleled vios and uh-

Well I connected the dots (I forced them together very aggressively while sobbing) and now their mom came back as a half sentient dragon who saw bebe shadow and went "this is mine" and decided to lick his wounds (literally) and teach him how to fight when he was just like... yk being forced to become stronger thru survival

to be clear she didn't mean to like burn down crops and whatever, half sentience and all, but she just wanted to support her new lil monochrome bebe (shadow) and then SHE DISCOVERED MORE IN DIFFERENT COLORS AND WAS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED

(links father is terrified but also mystified by her) and she thinks that this little fella who has been taking care of her babies is very nice to keep alive as well

Also shadow originally named her "Blood Hunter" but in private? When its just her and him? He calls her Mai-Mai because well. Dragons do communicate and her little noises while she took care of lil shadow? Sounded very much like "mai a maiamaimai"

(also I just love the name I stole it from ALBW)

they do reunite after shadow is reborn btw

ANYWAYS HERES HER DESIGN

(thank you @here4dragons for helping me with the anatomy and abse THANK U THANK U THANK U)

Vaati: Shad-ow, I know how we're going to defeat the Hero once and for all!

Shadow: Let me guess. We're going to kidnap Princess Zelda.

Vaati: No! We're going to steal from him the source of his power! And then we will use it against him.

Shadow: His Piece of the Triforce?

Vaati: Foolish fool! The Triforce is not the source of his power, his power comes from (close-up on Vaati) ...his pointy hat!

Shadow: Seriously.

Vaati: Yeeees! Come, Shad-ow, let us attain his pointy hat!

Shadow: I guess I have nothing better to do today.

Hello! here with a question! Do the skeletons and monsters in general have any heighten senses like smell, sight, hearing, etc.

Also yoummention in the fic how Coffee was able to see Willa shake her head in the dark when she spent the night over, does that mean skeletons and again monsters in gen e al can see in the dark?

Hey!!

Yeah, they can! The general populous of monsters can see passibly well in the dark (apart from a few subspecies), but that's mostly because, well. Cave.

Different subspecies have different heightened senses! As an example, the skeletons are particularly adept with smell and hearing, while their eyesight would be mostly on par with a human's (other than the whole seeing in the dark thing, lol).

In contrast, Undyne has creepily good eyesight (for someone with only one eye) and pretty good hearing, too. However, she (and her entire subspecies) can't really smell much at all.

She just wasn't built for it. Her magic (and her ancestors' magic) never evolved the ability to be able to, so she can't.

I hope that answers your question!

Thank you for asking it 🧡🧡🧡

Remember when people were like 'omg it's a good thing for Nathan Chen that sports is gender segregated, because if Sasha Trusova could compete against him it would be over for him.'

She couldn't even win any major senior women's events, and they thought she'd beat Nathan Chen???

[shiningshard]

These four deserved so much better tbh.

Do you think being an ugly woman or going through puberty as a girl can be traumatic?

I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask this, as I am not a medical professional or researcher, just a very mentally ill lady.

But, as far as I see it, anything can be traumatic. It depends on a variety of situational factors-how other people react to what's happening, how they treat you, what your body and mind do in response to an event, how impactful or prolonged the event in question is. I'm reluctant to say that anything is inherently traumatic, (just because everyone is going to respond to every situation or combination of situations differently). But I don't think there's anything that exists that could never be traumatic in any situation, either. (And this gets even more complicated when you factor in something like PTSD or other illnesses that have triggers, especially ones that might not read as "obvious" to the average person.) If someone ostracizes you or refuses to understand your identity or ignores or belittles what you're going through, and if you don't have access to various personal needs because people are mistreating or neglecting you for things you can't control, I can absolutely believe that would incite a trauma response.

I'd really recommend reading this analysis/explanation of what, exactly, trauma is. It really helped me make sense of some of my experiences and solidify my own feelings toward the concept of trauma as a whole. It also has a link to some resources from the trauma and PTSD library, which I think are far more equipped to provide adequate answers than I could be.

This is a test to see if you recognize these characters. If you know who they are, hell yeah, and if not, well, I shall introduce them

From left to right are Lady, Shadie and Mizuri, both without and with a cloak. They are Four Swords manga OCs I’ve had since like 2015-2016 and they are dearly loved by me. They’ve since been redesigned, though these refs are still kinda old-ish, so I’ll likely redraw them one day

But anyways, if you don’t remember what their stories are, Lady is a librarian’s daughter working at the Village of the Blue Maiden as well as Erune’s best friend. Shadie is her shadow. It’s a long story but let’s say after bringing Shadow back in a sequel I’m writing, more shadows began to appear, though Shadie has no malice within her and is merely just curious about the outside world. Lady heard about the story of Four Swords but never got to meet the Links, so she’s aware of Shadow but is surprised to learn she has one of her own. When she and her family learn Shadie means no harm, they pretty much adopt her into the family. Lady and Shadie are Vio and Shadow’s love interests, respectively

MIZURI, on the other hand, is a completely different being brought from the Dark Mirror. In her words, she is Vaati’s Plan B, so she’s the main villain of my sequel. She’s merely 10, and only knows how to insult with playground insults like “stupid poopoo-head” but she’s actually quite the threatening fire mage, and it’s up to Red and Shadow to stop her.

Mm yeah so there you have it. I need to show more of my Four Swords stuff lmao
