So...

Do you guys know that thing about creative writers with ideas (plot bunnies) and how they always seem to multiply one after the other? That's me with Twisted Wonderland AUs. I can't help it! The series just reminds me of all the stories I loved as a kid, with characters that had depth and / or developed or we got to learn more about--even if it was stupid little things they do in their everyday life! I've grown to appreciate it in ways I never imagined I could any form of media. ;;v;;

To be honest...this game has given me the creativity to consistently create and build upon ideas, and the support you all have given me has meant so much. I can't thank you all enough for sticking with me for so long, and for sending me all the ideas or scenarios you all have been daydreaming of. ;;v;;

So I wanted to give a bit of an update on a few things I'm going to do with the blog:

1) Create a rules page. I've gone far too long without updating my original set, and I feel it's long overdue 😂 Plus, it'll help me keep track of certain things!

2) Go back through and update the links on the Masterlists with posts I may have missed. I didn't realize that some things I was referencing in some of my latest posts (aka the grape incident in the monster!AU) were missing, so I'm gonna comb through my posts and make sure I label and organize them easier for you guys to find (and for me to refresh myself on what I write)!

3) Answering asks (of course). Things are a little slow going and my muse has been getting finicky with me, but I will make sure I get to everyone's asks! Some I may answer because they're quick and easy, others...I may end up getting an idea for something more expansive, so that'll take a bit longer. 😅

And finally, 4) Introducing a(nother) AU:

Twisted Wonderland!Mermaid AU!!!

Honestly, this started because I got inspired by the artwork by this artist here where they drew the characters based on Floyd's nicknames for them, and it started as a Marine Biologist AU where Yuu is a marine biologist and taking care of the mermaid bois (all 22 boys + one fire-breathing cat) buuuuuut...at the moment, Yuu getting shipwrecked and living on the island with the mermaid boys wouldn't leave me alone. 😂

As well as an idea where Yuu is a full-blooded Kaiju/born a Kaiju and has Land Before Time like adventures because I got emotional at baby Littlefoot hatching, but who's counting the ideas? Certainly not me!

Anyway, I wanted to share a snippet of the prologue I have written that's currently under construction, so the final product may differ. I'm honestly really excited about this AU too, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do~ ;;v;;

Snippet under a read-more because this post is going to be long anyway 😂 Enjoy!

Oh, and if I need to tag it a certain way for future posts, please let me know and I'll be sure to add them!

//////------------//////

If anyone were to ask Yuu what they were going to be doing over the summer, they likely would have told them: catch up on their reading, or playing video games, or any number of different things they had planned. Even just relaxing at home or on the beach would have been an enticing offer.

A scuba diving trip was not something they expected to get dragged into.

“First time diving?”

“Was it that obvious?” Yuu asked, one hand gripping the bar on the seat next to them until their knuckles were white while the other kept hold of the oxygen tank sitting in front of their flippered feet.

“Yeah…kinda obvious for a first timer,” the instructor said with a chuckle, the man giving them a reassuring pat. “It can be a bit nerve-wracking for new divers, but you’ll be fine. You’re one of the contest winners, right?”

“I put my name in as a joke, I didn’t think I’d actually win!” Peering over the edge of the railings, Yuu couldn’t make out anything in the dark water. “I…thought we were going to dive near the shallows closer to land. What are we doing so far out?” they asked, swearing they saw a big shadow pass by…only to realize it was the ship’s frame reflecting on the water.

“I know we’re a lot further out than we normally would for first time divers, but we had problems with our normal ship and the only one that was available was this ship a couple of marine biologists were using.”

“…why didn’t you just cancel and set it for another day?”

“Try telling that to my bosses,” the man muttered under his breath before the smile was back on his face. “Anyway, I think this will be a fun change to the program! These biologists are actually working to explore the reactions of marine life to musical instruments, and we’ll get to see it firsthand ourselves!”

Before Yuu could respond, the ship came to a stop and the driver said, “We’re here! You folks ready to go diving while we get set up? There’s a coral reef not far below us, so you’ll have plenty of time to sightsee.”

“Yup! Okay, so let’s go over the basics again, and I’ll make sure your gear is on properly.”

Yuu listened nervously as the instructor walked through each procedure and rule of diving, the wetsuit sticking tightly to their body as the tank weighed heavily on their back. This was not how they imagined their first time scuba diving would be—they could barely even make out the shore from a wave in the distance. Finally—with mask secured and breathing apparatus in—the instructor gave them a reassuring nod…before falling backwards into the water with a ‘sploosh!’. For a brief moment they froze, but the motion of the ship and the weight on their back knocked them off balance and forced them backwards.

Fwoosh!!

#twisted wonderland #twst #twisted wonderland mermaid au #twst mermaid au #Faun has lots of ideas and not enough patience to sit and focus on one without burning out #but seriously thank you all so much #you’ve all made me remember why I loved writing and finding that spark I thought I had lost years ago to perfectionism ;;v;;

Note

to me these brackets are more about sharing your love and introducing new people to ships they might not have considered before. and most importantly putting the main blorbo(pearl) in situationships. but I get the competitive spirit (although, we all know the winner)

Completely agree!!! It's why I thought the other shipping tournaments were so fun and why I wanted to do one!!!

Pearl's in soooo many series (HermitCraft, empires SMP, life series) of course she's gonna have plenty of situationships (and all of them are delightful)

.......although another fun thing about these blogs is that you get to watch people go crazy, getting sad over matches, going ham on propaganda and all the silly things I get in the tags

Patreon Update (December ‘22)

Happy new year everyone, I hope everyone survived the hectic holidays and is doing well. I know that my Tumblr sort of fell to the wayside in 2022, but I’m hoping to find a better balance this year as I have done a slight revamp to my Patreon where I now only write 5 stories per month rather than 6.

I’m already hard at work for the next few months of content both here and Patreon, especially the Learning A Valuable Lesson series for Tumblr, which has actually been expanded from a two-parter into a complete trilogy. So be sure to be on the lookout for part two, it’s going to drop on the 20th. In the meantime though, the blog will be kept updated as I’m planning on doing a week or so of Q&A so I can try and engage with my followers more since I appreciate all of the support.

Now with that tiny bit of housekeeping out of the way, here’s a quick little summary of the stuff I’ve released over on my Patreon over the past month. If any of the following stories intrigue you, please feel free to click on the title so you can sign up for the appropriate tier to read it! I’d love to have you join my Patreon and my Discord community, where you can view exclusive photo captions.

Oh, You Dirty Dog (Part One)

Miles is a cocky man who loves nothing more than hooking up with women for a short amount of time before kicking them to the curb once they no longer satisfied him. Unfortunately for him, Lindsay is a witch who doesn't take lightly to being used and thus dishes out a species defying change for Miles and his new puppy Bella.

Upon taking the potion though, Ricardo quickly discovers that his ideal man might not be what he originally thought...

Wrestling With My New Life

This 10.4k word story was created due to a patron-voted poll that was meant to help influence who my new host body would become by picking a clothing item for me to base this new body on - the wrestling singlet option was the clear winner.

After being forced to do a livestream by my followers and undergoing transformations that turned me into a submissive and big-assed twunk as a result, more followers begin to chime in and turn me into their ideal jock fantasy. By the time they're done changing me, will I be able to remember who I am and stop what's happening to me or will the straight himbo life they've given completely take over and leave me too stupid to stop what's happening?

A New Years’ Meet Cute (Part One)

Upon agreeing to drink a special drink prepared by the bartender, Henry unknowingly allows himself to be slowly and secretly transformed by the bartender into his ideal partner...

Corrupting Kirk Cousins

However, Kirk is an enigma in Luke's eyes due to just how calm and dorky the man seems despite being the head quarterback of a fairly successful team playing a rather aggressive sport. Due to this, Lucas begins to fantasize about corrupting Kirk and destroying his sweet golden boy image by turning him into the cocky badass that he was always meant to be. After reaching out to an individual named Soul-Controller, Lucas' fantasies soon come to life as he possesses Kirk and immediately gets to work changing the man's image with his team by acting like a confident himbo while seducing and setting up a new power dynamic with Kirk's wife...

A grumpy witcher meets a gregarious bard: opposites attract, destiny intervenes. Their friendship spans literal decades, fertile grounds for ample amounts of fanfiction to take root in. The tales of Geralt and Jaskier has it all: joyful meetings, heroics, drama, japery, heartbreak, and sorrowful partings. Just how many songs can a bard make from that?

I’ve compiled some of what I consider excellent fanfics that feature this pairing although it does not contain all of my recommendations. They are listed in no particular order. I plan on creating more recommendation lists in the future and may do so for other fandoms. Please check my blog for other recommendation lists.

As a reminder, please make sure to check the tags and any warnings before reading. Take care of yourself!

Food of Love by tanktrilby Canon Divergence // ~22k // PG-13

I brought a dead princess back to life through the power of song is the kind of thing that would have got an eyebrow raise even from the stone-faced Geralt of Rivia, so it's a good thing he and Geralt will probably never see each other again.

you follow? by shortcrust Modern AU // Series // ~3k // PG-13

Did @bardofficial win a Grammy? No. But he DID put his husband in a leather tunic for the red carpet and in that sense, we’re all winners tonight

and yet so far from death by SummerFrost Ghost AU // ~31k // NC-17

"Your song about the ghost, then," Maja asks warily. "It's just metaphorical, right?" "Yes, of course, absolutely metaphorical," Jaskier brightly assures her. "No ghosts here." Jaskier's favorite painting falls to the ground. "Bollocks."

New Monster Stories by kathkin Urban Fantasy AU // ~20k // NC-17

“So do you have a name?”

“Yeah.” The man who had saved his life less than an hour ago – the white-haired, absurdly buff, weirdly sexy man Jaskier might have called taciturn if he was feeling charitable and surly if he was feeling less so – dug into his second burger.

Jaskier waited. “Are… you going to tell me what it is?”

The man paused mid-bite, and looked at him reproachfully as if to say how dare you. How dare you interrupt me. Can’t you see I’m enjoying my cheeseburger. Can’t you see this cheeseburger is the most important thing in my life right at the moment. He swallowed, and said, “Geralt.”

Love as You Are by thisgirlsays22 Soulmates AU // ~16k // NC-17

Jaskier didn’t want to marry just any noblewoman--no matter how comely she may be--he wanted adventure and many loves, but most importantly his biggest, greatest love of all.

He is not expecting that love to be in the form of a brooding stranger sitting at the back of a tavern.

In one instant his breath catches in his throat at the beauty of the man before him and in the next, there’s a burning sensation on the bottom of his heel as his mark makes itself known. It’s pain and pleasure knotted together, roses surrounded by thorns.

A Dandelion By Any Other Name by TabbyCat33098 Hanahaki Trope // ~4k // G

Jaskier is throwing up flowers and refuses to tell Geralt who has afflicted him so. As Geralt grapples with Jaskier's impending death, he comes to terms with a few things himself.

home is nowhere, therefore you by Ark Canon Divergence // ~18k // NC-17

"Right, well," Jaskier says, when he halts before Geralt. Up close, he looks much more nervous. There is sweat on his brow and his collar is damp with it, and his teeth keep catching on his lower lip. "True love's kiss. There's—ah—there's nothing to it." And he bends, the utter imbecile, and kisses Geralt full on the mouth.

spring, summer, spring by yogurtgun Canon Divergence // ~32k // NC-17

After spending a treacherous winter together, Jaskier and Geralt make an arrangement: they travel together for three seasons before Jaskier finds a town or a court to winter over until spring. However, this year Geralt meets Jaskier a little earlier than expected, during Imbaelk. Between holiday celebrations, solstices and plum schnapps, Geralt falls in love and loses his way.

Nisraea by spqr Soulmates AU // ~4k // R

Jaskier's seventeen when he pulls the Witcher from the fire.

He has no idea, at the time, that it's a magical fire.

500 Crowns by vands88 Canon Divergence // ~9k // R

Every year, Jaskier finds himself singing at Cintra’s court, watching Geralt’s abandoned Child Surprise grow up.

Skin Deep by sospes Canon Divergence // ~8k // PG-13

“What’s that?” Geralt asks.

Jaskier blinks. “It’s a tattoo,” he says. “Have you never seen a tattoo before, Geralt?”

Geralt fights the urge to roll his eyes. “I know it’s a tattoo,” he says. “What’s it a tattoo of?”

The Sevenfold Path by Star_flaming Canon Divergence // ~17k // G

Geralt had known Jaskier studied at Oxenfurt University, but he had thought of it as a sort of formal music education. It was becoming abundantly clear that while he had indeed studied music and composition, he also knew a lot more than Geralt had ever learned. And it was impressive. And humbling, too.

to render it transparent by theundiagnosable Time Travel AU // ~24k // NC-17

Geralt wakes up warm, peaceful, and utterly content, which is how he knows that something is severely wrong.

Time Again by didoandis Age Regression // ~17k // NC-17

Things you need to know: It’s 1264. You seem to be losing your memory. Also Geralt likes you now.

Jaskier’s losing time. Geralt’s not sure he can live through the last two decades again, especially not backwards.

A Blessing, A Curse by aileenrose Canon Divergence // ~12k // NC-17

"For a while, Jaskier doesn’t know he’s cursed. It feels like free will, going back down that mountain, just as dangerous down as the way up, and alone this time, too. The descent is fast, maybe even reckless, but Jaskier’s feeling numb and out-of-sorts anyways, Geralt’s words simmering in his mind, and at the time it doesn’t feel like he’s being pulled on by anything but his own desire to get away."

Two years ago , I made the decision to make this blog. While I had been mostly posting my work on fanfictionnet, seeing the interactions here on tumblr had input an idea into my head. I thought maybe, just maybe I'd be able to call my blog a success. And after the start of posting a grief stricken one shot, my tumblr life changed.

There were so many words of encouragement, so many followers that began popping up. Everyone wanting to see what other fics I could come up with. And the fact that I just reached over 1500 followers still blows my mind away on that.

I have met sooo many amazing new people and created a bunch of new friendships because of this blog. I continue to write as much as I can because you guys fuel my motivation and you guys actually like what I put out there for you guys. You guys are amazing and without you, I don't know how far this blog would have gotten.

Thank you for following me. Thank you for being here during the ramblings, the numerous promises of posting, only for it to fall through. Thank you for baring with me while I get the several hundred things in my drafts posted. I hope that with future years I can provide you with more content, more ramblings and one hell of an experience as a friend and content creator.

I couldn't ask for anything more and I am so appreciative. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This year has had its ups and downs and I have always been able to count on my followers to understand that nothing goes as plan. I love you guys more than you will ever know!

Last year, I did a drabble challenge for my blogiversary. While I was debating on doing that again, I thought of something new and fun. Of course you can read all about it under the cut!

This year, I thought we could do a Bingo Celebration. While I did all the writing last year for this celebration, I'll let you guys be in charge of the writing this time. But no worries! I'll be participating as well!

⚜ For those of you wanting to participate, just send me an ask stating so! I will be sending you a randomized Bingo card of different prompts via message.

⚜ You can cross off each square on the card by writing a one shot, drabble, creating a mood board, or even a gif set (that you created yourself!) with the elements of the square.

⚜ It can be reader inserts, with your ocs, or even your favorite ships.

⚜ Free space can be used for whatever you’d like to write about that is NOT currently on your card. Get creative with your free space!

⚜ You are allowed to use a maximum of 2 squares for a single post. Though it would be really cool to see what you can come up with each one on it’s own. 25 posts sounds a lot better than around 13 posts.

⚜ You are allowed to add these to ongoing series, as long as it’s with in the first five parts/chapters. If you decide to make a whole series centered on your card, that is perfectly fine. But remember the above rules!

⚜ The deadline to ask for a bingo card is October 6th. The deadline to finish your card is March 7, 2021.

⚜ However, the first two people to completely black out their card will be able to request a fic of their choice, where the OC has every detail that belongs to the winner.

⚜ Be sure to tag me in your creations. I would love to see what you guys come up with! Also be sure to tag it with #xxwritemeastoryxxturns2 in the first few tags.

⚜ Remember to tag your fics accordingly and use the read more function if your fic is longer than 800 words. There is no word minimum or limit.

⚜ Use your creativity and have fun with it!

Little Beast | Crush by Richard Siken

by YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS on Apr 22, 2008 • 1:49 pmNo Comments

An all-night barbeque. A dance on the courthouse lawn.

The radio aches a little tune that tells the story of what the night

is thinking. It’s thinking of love.

It’s thinking of stabbing us to death

and leaving our bodies in a dumpster.

That’s a nice touch, stains in the night, whiskey and kisses for everyone.

Tonight, by the freeway, a man eating fruit pie with a buckknife

carves the likeness of his lover’s face into the motel wall. I like him

and I want to be like him, my hands no longer an afterthought.

Someone once told me that explaining is an admission of failure.

I’m sure you remember, I was on the phone with you, sweetheart.

History repeats itself. Somebody says this.

History throws its shadow over the beginning, over the desktop,

over the sock drawer with its socks, its hidden letters.

History is a little man in a brown suit

trying to define a room he is outside of.

I know history. There are many names in history

but none of them are ours.

He had green eyes,

so I wanted to sleep with him—

green eyes flecked with yellow, dried leaves on the surface of a pool-

You could drown in those eyes, I said.

The fact of his pulse,

the way he pulled his body in, out of shyness or shame or a desire

not to disturb the air around him.

Everyone could see the way his muscles worked,

the way we look like animals,

his skin barely keeping him inside.

I wanted to take him home

and rough him up and get my hands inside him, drive my body into his

like a crash test car.

I wanted to be wanted and he was

very beautiful, kissed with his eyes closed, and only felt good while moving.

You could drown in those eyes, I said,

so it’s summer, so it’s suicide,

so we’re helpless in sleep and struggling at the bottom of the pool.

It wasn’t until we were well past the middle of it

that we realized

the old dull pain, whose stitched wrists and clammy fingers,

far from being subverted,

had only slipped underneath us, freshly scrubbed.

Mirrors and shop windows returned our faces to us,

replete with the tight lips and the eyes that remained eyes

and not the doorways we had hoped for.

His wounds healed, the skin a bit thicker than before,

scars like train tracks on his arms and on his body underneath his shirt.

We still groped for each other on the backstairs or in parked cars

as the roads around us

grew glossy with ice and our breath softened the view through a glass

already laced with frost,

but more frequently I was finding myself sleepless, and he was running out

of lullabies.

But damn if there isn’t anything sexier

than a slender boy with a handgun,

a fast car, a bottle of pills.

What would you like? I’d like my money’s worth.

Try explaining a life bundled with episodes of this—

swallowing mud, swallowing glass, the smell of blood

on the first four knuckles.

We pull our boots on with both hands

but we can’t punch ourselves awake and all I can do

is stand on the curb and say Sorry

about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.

I couldn’t get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time.

Survey results and responses

A couple of weeks ago, we put out a survey to get a feel for some things, and we got over a dozen responses! Thanks to everyone who responded and told us what you’re looking for!

There were some responses that we would like to get some clarification on, and some responses that requested things we’ve already got out there. Below the cut is a rundown of some of the questions and responses, along with links to things that already exist and plans to enact some of the things you’ve suggested.

If you responded to the survey, please read below! We need your input!

1. What things related to posting your works on Tumblr or other sites would you like to learn more about? For example, Keep Reading cuts, finding gifs, giving credit to gif and edit creators, etc.

A tutorial for adding Keep Reading to fics, both on a computer and on the app, would be helpful.

How far down should I put a keep reading?

Anything related to gifs

Best apps or sites to use for making gifs.

Finding gifs and giving credit to creators

when should I give someone credit for being a beta (for example: I bounced ideas with someone for a minute or two but they didn't technically beta read it; I can't decide between X and Y (with no context), pick one)

linking posts to blog bios

The facts on the search issues (re: links, tags, and anything else that keeps a fic from being "searchable") - I see people saying various things, so sourced facts would be nice, if possible

These are great requests, and we’ll do our best to address them in the next LiveChat Event!! There were some requests that we’ve already addressed, so here’s some links to those:

What should I be including for reader info, eg: Warnings? Word Count? Summary? Characters...? - Suggested Format for Fics

Feedback - December 2018 LiveChat Recap (Feedback and Beta Reading)

Building an audience/gaining exposure - November 2018 LiveChat Recap (Reader involvement)

There was one request for “troubleshooting”, but we’re not sure exactly what’s meant by that, so if you requested this, please send us an ask or an IM and clarify what kind of troubleshooting you’re curious about!

2. What tags would you like to see our "#writer resources" tag broken down into? For example, grammar, publishing, etc. (Currently, we only have a couple of tags that are used consistently to tag posts that are reblogged from other blogs, like writing prompts and reference posts we think might be useful for our members. We would like to make finding information easier by refining our tags so posts about grammar aren't mixed in with posts about publishing, for example.) Please list below any tags that you think would be helpful for us to use to make these posts easier to find when you're looking for them.

Word choice/vocabulary

Grammar

Synonyms

Spelling

Punctuation

Editing

Tutorials

Challenges

Tips

Inspiration

Publishing

Plot

Characterization/character development

World building

Genre tags like romance, action, horror, etc.

Dialogue

All of these are great! We’ve got some questions about some of the others that were suggested, though. If you can send us an ask or an IM and clarify about these, we’d love to hear from you!

Writing Prompts - This tag is already in use.

How to format - How to format what? Need some clarification on this.

Getting started - With what? Is this like inspiration or something different?

Brainstorming - What kinds of posts would be under this tag?

Comments - What kinds of posts would be under this tag?

Awards - We already have a tag for the AFA’s, so is this for something different?

We’d love your feedback on these ones we’re unsure of, so let us know!

3. Is there anything you wish was easier to find on the blog?

Maybe a list of frequently used tags on the FAQ page so I'm not blindly trying tags when I try to search for something.

Once we get a set list of tags we’ll be using, there will be a post or page listing them with links. First step is setting up the list, which is why we asked question #2. We’re on the right track!

New pond member stories.

By stories, do you mean fics they’ve written, or info about who they are? We post a list of new Pond members with links to their work every month. You can check them out here. If this isn’t what you’re looking for, please send us an ask with some examples!

The submit box!

Are you on desktop, mobile, or the app? Please send an IM to @mrswhozeewhatsis or @manawhaat about this so we can help you and figure out why it’s not easily accessible for you!

I wish ships and pairings were tagged so I can easily filter and find fics submitted to the pond.

This is something we’ve considered, but it’s been on the back burner while we focus on other issues. Someday, we would like to be a blog for readers, not just writers, and instituting a tagging system for fics would be part of that. Setting that up, though, will be a big project, since there are so many ships and tags to consider. How to do it without making the submit page four miles long with tag options is another hurdle. This is on our radar, but it might be a while.

I wish some things like pond members, tag list, and writing resources were easier to find on mobile./ Links are difficult to find on mobile.

The problem with the member lists is that they are pages, not posts, because pages are easier to manage than posts. Posts are slippery things that can be lost if we’re not careful, whereas pages are rooted in the blog where we can’t lose them. Sadly, the app can’t read pages, for some reason.

Another problem is that the app can’t handle a navigation block. Short of filling the bio with a ton of links, which gets very messy and hard to read, there’s no way to make these links available on the app.

That being said, if you access Tumblr via a browser app like Chrome on your phone, all of these links are available at the top of the blog! Not only are they available, the member rolls and everything you can’t see on the app are completely accessible!

Mobile friendly versions of beta and tag lists? The spreadsheets are awesome, but a little hard to read.

Spreadsheets are the only way we know to allow users to filter, which is a major part of the functionality of both lists. If you’ve got suggestions for how to do this, we’re open to them!

4. Is there anything you'd like to see more or less of on the blog?

More thesaurus/synonym like posts. For those that struggle to use other words for_____ and want to.

Interesting! We don’t see many posts like that out there, so this might be content we’d have to create. Perhaps we could solicit words from our members and create posts like this based on those suggestions? What do you think?

I think it would be good to expand the tags for submissions to include more info, like more specific other trigger categories, things that are typically taboo that a reader should know about, if the story is smut/angst/fluff, etc.

This was mentioned and addressed above, so we won’t repeat it all here.

I'd like to see more writing prompts.

More than just what’s in the #writing prompt tag? We’ll need more clarification on this one!

More things about the community like fic recs, nominations, maybe get-to-know pond member posts.

Since we’ve already got the Angel Fish Awards and the monthly New Members posts, which both include fic recs, we’ll need some clarification on what you’re looking for there. As for posts about getting to know individual pond members, this sounds like a great idea! We’re open to suggestions on how to choose what members get chosen!! Send us an ask with your ideas!!

I wish there were more active big fish in the pond.

Being a Big Fish is a big responsibility, and we understand that not everyone is up to it. We ask that our Big Fish be consistently kind and generous with other members, spend some time every month in the chat room so Guppies and Jellies can ask them for help, signal boost posts when asked, assist with Pond projects when requested, be involved with the Angel Fish Awards, and like/reblog fics by other Pond members. Doing all of that AND having a life outside of Tumblr can be a lot.

Because of all of that, we don’t usually approach Jellies and ask them if they’d be interested. We wait for Jellies to come to us. It’s a big thing, and we don’t want to pressure folks. If someone is interested, they should read this post about how Big Fish are chosen, and let us know that they are interested!

5. What kinds of prizes would you like to see more of in the monthly Angel Fish raffle?

Not sure what's currently being given away.

It changes slightly every month, and we make a post with the list of prizes. The post for June hasn’t gone up, yet, so keep an eye out on the blog!

I think it would be fun to incorporate Pond members that create stuff (like that have etsy shops or stuff like that) into the raffle.

If members would like to donate things from their shops as prizes, we would welcome them!

Hmm maybe a fic commission from a big fish? (If they’re open. Or anyone the winner might want to commission, not just big fish. Also specifically one where the writer’d still get paid in lieu of buying another physical prize lol.)

This is an interesting idea, and we’re considering it from a few different angles!

6. Are there any topics you would like to see discussed in the monthly LiveChat events?

There was only one response to this one that we need some clarification on:

Outlining series, how to give feedback, how to make your fanfics flow

We talked about Planning vs. Pantsing back in March, so check that out, and if it doesn’t give you what you’re looking for about outlining, let us know! As for feedback, we talked about Feedback and Beta Reading in December. Your last suggestion sounds interesting, but we need maybe an example of what you’re talking about to be sure we know what you’re looking for. Send us an ask and tell us more about your flow questions!

7. Is there anything else you'd like to tell us? Suggestions for improvement? Let us know here!

I love the Pond and I love the community that has been built from SPN. I feel like Big Fish are active (which they should be) and then a handful of people (category unknown, but I suspect they are Guppies) seem to be kind of active, but based on the descriptions Jellyfish seem like they should have a role as well. Could we do something with Live Chat where a Jellyfish helps answer questions or host with a BF maybe? JF should be approachable too but if we don't know them then it's hard to ask them anything and they seem just as intimidating as a BF. (BF are less intimidating to me because they interact with everyone more often actually). *shrugs* I don't know, maybe that's just me.

This is a tough one. Jelly Fish are basically Big Fish without the responsibility. (See above about Big Fish and our expectations of them.) We’ve focused on Big Fish with the LiveChats, but we aren’t against the idea of having Jelly Fish chat with us, too. (In fact, three of our events have featured Jellies.) This will take some thought to find ways to encourage Jelly Fish interaction. All suggestions are welcome!

I feel like a quarterly raffle would give more people time to vote/enter. Doing it every month feels a bit over saturated. Unrelated, but a Discord server would be nice. In my experience, those feel more open to community than a Skype chat bc there are different chats that people can interact in and it’s easier to moderate.

A quarterly raffle is totally doable, though the AFA’s will remain monthly. Would that still sound good?

Michelle has had learning Discord and setting up a server as the next thing on her to do list for three months, but just hasn’t had the time to sit down and learn (you know, when normal people are available to teach her, not the crazy hours she keeps). Kale is on Discord for other things, but is also just a beginner. We’re working on it! Discord is coming!!

If answering questions from surveys or comments or submissions in the live chat (or even interesting questions) could you post the question and answer on the blog for those that miss the chat and don’t want to/can’t scroll through it all to read everything.

You mean like the Recaps to the Monthly LiveChat Events?

I think it's great you put out these surveys. Maybe a designated suggestion option? You have the list for betas, how about a list of those that create aesthetics or art for fics?

These are awesome ideas!! Putting them on the to-do list!!

I think the Pond is really good, I just wish I knew/interacted with more people who are in it.

Tell us what would better enable you to interact, and we’ll see what we can do!

I'd suggest something to motivate people to take the time to submit to the pond? I feel like nobody hardly does it anymore, including myself, because it feels like nobody really interacts through the pond anymore.

The admins have discussed some ideas about this, but haven’t found a solution they can all agree on, yet. One admin suggested limiting Angel Fish nominations to fics that were submitted to the blog. Don’t submit, you can’t be nominated. One of the other admins hated the idea, and the third abstained. The only other suggestion has been to increase readers of the blog so writers have more incentive to submit to reach a larger audience. As mentioned above, we’re working on ideas towards that goal. What suggestions might you guys have? Another raffle for prizes?

Just maybe add a few more big fish? If that's possible? Maybe more interaction with everyone to make them feel like a part of the pond.

See above about adding more Big Fish. We need volunteers who are willing and able to keep up! Beyond trying to keep the chat room active, we could use some suggestions about how to increase interaction! Give us your ideas!!

That’s a lot to read, and kudos to you if you made it this far!! Thanks to everyone who responded to the survey, and we look forward to hearing more from you all!!

#Pond business #We welcome your feedback #Let us know how we're doing #please let us know if you have any questions that the faq page doesn't answer

The Bunker Party - January Debrief

Hey my darlings!

So, The Bunker Party was back with a bang for the first month of 2021 and it was so nice to see so many wonderful and beautiful faces, new and old, on the stream. I have so much stuff to share with you, my fingers will ache once I’ve finished typing it all.

The stream was just amazing. It was filled with fun, laughter, and so many of you sharing your love for all things Supernatural. Seriously, SPN does have THEE best fandom and I’m so glad to be a part of it.

6 hours we were hanging out for! To see so many beautiful faces, hear so many lovely voices and to spend time with all you guys was just a dream! The support from everyone for each other, the love in this fandom; I can’t express how much I adore it.

I love holding these events and as I mentioned last night, the next one will be in February (date to be announced) and I’m already looking forward to seeing so you all again.

So…to the debrief!

Below you will find:

Everyone who joined - their tags, what’s coming up fic wise and their masterlist.

Announcements, News and links to Patreons and Etsy shops!

Challenges to join - we have SIX!

Blogs who want to help with your writing

Graphics and Icons

Fic & blog recs

You are the guys that make it the live stream what it is, and we can never thank you enough. So below is a list of everyone who was on the chat yesterday accompanied by their masterlist and a little blurb of what they have coming up soon! For your reading pleasure and in no particular order…

–

@waywardbeanie: Shelli has come so far in the matter of a few months. From being a reader to now a series writer! She has one series under her belt already and is well on her way with her second on, Life on Tour. She is ALSO planning her third, which we may have had a sneak peak too last night and I am BEYOND excited.

You can find her masterlist HERE

–

@deanwanddamons: Sian has come so far in a year! She has several series on the go, so many oneshots and I already know her plans for her next series. There are more plans for The Show Must Go On, Mechanic and Mistletoe and others. OH, I am excited!

Her masterlist can be found HERE

–

@jensengirl83: Brandy is such a sweetheart and we adore her. She’s still under the year mark for writing but that doesn’t stop her from nailing it. With one series completed, a ton of oneshots under her belt, she’s now working on her second series and is smashing it.

You can find her masterlist HERE

–

@whatareyousearchingfordean: Alex is nailing it at the moment with her fictions. She’s currently posting Happiness Continued (the sequel to Happiness Begins) which is nearing it’s end *sobs* BUT we were spoiled to some spoilers and information about what’s coming next. Ohhhh we have two more series on the way and they are juicy! Head over to her blog to find out one of them, she’s announced it already ;)

Her masterlist can be found HERE

–

@superfanficnatural: Mert has took some time away from the writing world but nothing could keep him from showing his fantastic self on our livestream. He’s has finally gotten back into his writing thanks to much encouragement ;) and is chipping away at the next add for his series The Choice. We’re super proud of him.

He has some other series in the works, a couple of collaborations that he’s got under his belt too…

Go and give him some love, his masterlist can be found HERE

–

@soaringeag1e: We adore Meg and she is a regular on our stream. She has such an extensive list of SPN fanfiction that it’s a treat for your eyeballs!

You can find her masterlist HERE

–

@thinkinghardhardlythinking: Saira is absolutely nailing it when it’s coming to writing at the moment and her words are out of this world. She’s recently been sucked into the Royal AU and is writing a Knight!Sam x Reader fic and it is TO DIE FOR.

She’s such a sweetheart. Please show her some love and support <3 You can find her masterlist HERE

–

@janicho88: This lovely lady is working on some absolute winners at the minute. “Falling for You” and “Fire, Fur and Mistletoe” to name just a couple! She is one of the kindest and supportive souls that you will ever meet. Definitely one to check out and read!

–

50 Questions Tag!

@jongin-be-my-jagi tagged me for this a while ago, but I took my sweet time to answer. Here is my secret intel if you want to know me a little bit more!! Check hers as well, she’s an amazing writer and friend. 1. What takes up too much of your time? Tumblr, my stupid procrastination prone brain and my thesis.

2. What makes your day better? Friends and loved ones, music and these absolute dorks (Channie especially)

3. What’s the best thing that happened to you today? I hopped on the mat today in the early hours of the morning, rain on my window and the neighbours cat peeking at me from his window across the street.

4. What fictional place would you like to go to? Wonderland, bacause it’s “curiouser and curiouser!”

'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I — I hardly know, sir, just at present — at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

5. Are you good at giving advice? I think so. Not so good at following my own advice though. I do always consider where the other is standing and if I don’t know how to proceed then I’ll just be honest and say I can’t help. But i’ll always listen with my heart.

6. Do you have any mental illnesses? Not diagnosed. I do think i might be going through something now.

7. Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? No, but i have a recurring nightmare: the world is made of black and white paper thin layers. I am a paper thin person walking along a street surrounded by paper thin buildings. I walk for a long time, looking up at the white sky. Until the street ends, there is no more building and i fall into the abyss of a blank page. I have had this dream since the age of 8 or 9 years old. Fear of not being good enough, you say?! Ding, ding, ding!! We got a winner in the back! 8. What musician inspired you the most? I get inspired by music all the time!! One of my all time favourite songs is Spanish Sahara by Foals. Its sublime!

youtube

So I’d say I’m mainly inspired by these artists: Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Foals, Radiohead, Bowie, Daughter, Bob Dylan, Beirut, Yeah yeah yeahs, Arcade Fire, The National, Joy Division, Blur, Warpaint, Gorillaz, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Chet Baker, The Cure, Courtney Barnett, The Maccabees, Car Seat Headrest, Florence + The Machine, Editors, Kasabian, Crystal Fighters, Death Cab for a cutie, The Doors, Efterklang, Explosions in the Sky, Franz Ferdinand, The Horrors, James Blake, José Gonzalez, Los Campesinos!, Metronomy, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Patrick Watson, Phoenix, Sharon Van Etten, The Shins, Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, St.Vincent, The Strokes, Toro y Moi, tricot, Tune-Yards, TV on the radio, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Vaccines, Vampire Weekend, The Velvet Underground, The War on Drugs, Wild Beasts and Yo La Tengo.

And the electro, pop and hip-hop groves of my heart: EXO, 2NE1, Janelle Monáe, Big Bang, Kris Wu,LCD soundsystem, SBTRKT, Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Daft Punk.

And special mentions to the portuguese ones (learning from yixing and promoting when i can :P): Capicua, Joana Espadinha, The Legendary Tigerman, Linda Martini, Mayra Andrade, Noiserv, Ornatos Violeta, Paus, Samuel Uria, You Can’t Win Charlie Brown and The Silence 4. I know, tldr right? Sorry folks! 9. Have you ever fallen in love? Yes I have. I have mistaken a crush for love too. But i have definitely been very deeply in love. A wrecked kintsugi heart over here people! 10. What’s your dream date? I don’t think I have one. I’d love to do something unique with that someone special, something special for the two of us. It could be as simple as riding the subway while sharing earphones & listening to our playlist or walking the dogs out! Idk, I’m easy to please. But right now it would have to be with this handsome man :D pretty please?!

11. What do others notice about you? I am very kind and warm hearted, so I think that’s what people first notice when meeting me. Although I maintain good eye contact, I am also timid and will be quieter if there are very energetic people in the group. When alone, I usually take the first step and try to meet people, but only if i really must. 12. What’s an annoying habit you have? It’s really hard for me to ask for help. I also like to tell detailed descriptions of everything... Couldn’t you tell? 13. Do you still talk to your first love? I’ll text him on his birthday and he does the same to me. We met when we were 10 years old and that childhood friendship remains. But regarding my one and truly deep relationship, no we do not talk, unless we randomly meet.

14. How many exes do you have? I have three exes. The first love who was just an idealized crush on my childhood friend: we dated for 2 weeks during summer break xD Then my first real boyfriend, we met in my first year at university, dated for quite some time, he really loved me and made me love myself a little more. Finally the one i loved too much. I mended his wounds and made him love himself as much as I did. I always say all the love we feel makes our hearts grow bigger. I do not regret loving any of them, I am me now due to them and I would not change it if I could. 15. How many songs are in your playlist? I have way too many playlists for each and every mood... But my favourite songs list on spotify has about 1500 songs! uwu! 16. What instruments can you play? Triangles and flute?! I had mandatory music classes in school... so in reality I can’t really play a instrument...

17. Who do you have the most pictures of? Probably my cat, Sushi. With a second close of my doodles and sketches.

18. Where would you like to go before you die? EVERY WHERE!!! But I really want to go to Japan and Scotland and Iceland and South Korea and New Zealand and i’ll shut up. 19. What’s your zodiac? Capricorn. 20. Do you relate to it? Sort of.

21. What is happiness to you? You know when it’s really cold outside in the winter and you manage to find a sheltered place where no wind can hit you and you still get to feel the warm rays of the winter suns on your skin? You hear the birds outside and you are contempt in that moment, at peace. That is happiness to me. 22. Are you going through anything right now? Yes, I am a bit lost. Trying to finish my thesis and trying to find what I want to do after. It’s liberating but also pretty scary. 23. What’s the worst decision you ever made? It’s a series of small decisions really. It started with going for a phd with the same people i worked in my msc. Should have gone to a different place. Then deciding to come home after a traumatic loss in the family. Should have kept my life going but I stalled it then. (I don’t regret helping my loved ones though).

24. What’s your favourite store? Probably Wishtrend for beauty stuff. Other than that I don’t have any favourite brands/stores. 25. (HALFWAY!) What’s your opinion on abortion? I think everyone is free to decide what they want or need to do. I couldn’t possible judge. If I would it? Probably not.

27. Do you have a favourite album? I don’t think so, I have favourite tunes for different moods and moments in my life. But if threatened with my life, I’d maybe say Total Life Forever from Foals.

28. What do you want for your birthday? It’s such a long time until my birthday comes! But maybe a real EXO ot9 reunion as a goodbye to Minseok?

29. What is most people’s first impression of you? Friendly and easy to open up to, i think.

30. What age do you seem according to most people? In real life, people usually think I am way younger than I am. 31. Where do you keep your phone when you’re sleeping? In the crook of my bed, between the mattress and the bed frame.

32. What word do you say the most? No idea really! 33. What’s the oldest age you’d date? 40s? I don’t think too much about age actually.

The war was over. It only remains the pain and the injuries. Yamato rested over his bed, the movement of the boat was a lullaby. His closed eyes a window at the horrors. The battlefield, the smell of the blood, the screams and the soldiers falling. Brothers of the Honest Islands against the army of the King. The ghost of his sword still on his hand and the arrows of Joe flying, aparting the enemies from him. They had win a battle, but his injuries were bad, the soldiers transported Yamato at the boat.

He closes his eyes and lets the movement of the boat lullas him. A knock at the door. It must be Joe, all concerned by his health, panicking already.

Taichi entered at the room with a discreted smile over his face.

“We won” The King said and then, Yamato remembered the horrors of this war. “How are you feeling, Love? are you hurt?”

Yamato didn’t answered, but his hand found Taichi’s

“Kouji had send the news at The Capital, the pigeons are going to arrive before us. They are gonna received us with a big fest for shure”

The injuries burn inside Yamato, maybe Iory hadn’t hit him so much, but he had fight at the limit of his strength. Any way, the little menace is going to have worst.

“Davis Motomiya and Ryo Akiyama are on the boat behind ours, some of our best soldiers are watching them”

Fourteen, Iory Hida had only fourteen, the age that he had when he went at the war for the first time. How few you know at fourteen years old.

“I know you don't like them, but I can see good on Motomiya, I’m glad that he join us. And the summon alchemist had told me some things about Akiyama, for what I understand he is all talk and no action”

Joe Kido was death.

“You need to rest” Taichi said and kiss him sweetie “You look bad, I´m gonna send someone to attend you”

He killed Joe Kido and he was crying with Taichi on his arms, who kiss him and clean his tears and talked about nonsense bullshit that Yamato couldn't care less about.

“You were right, Yamato. I didn't understand what war was” Taichi said and hold his lover’s hand when he closed his eyes. Yamato was tired and the ship kept moving. At the end, he heard the voice of the King, reciting with a musical cadence “ Forgive me God because I had sin, forgive the soul of the fallen. True God of Light, heal the sick, protect the weak…”

The war had been a mistake. Davis was thinking while he walk. The Light ship was big, the tropes were organized and fast. They weren't as the tropes that he had commanded. How much they could had avoid if his brothers would had listen to him? If they hadn’t be taken by the heat and the hate? He was in the winner said of the war, but he had lose so much.

“You did the right thing” his master said rounding his shoulder with his arm “History will give you the reason, believe me, I know about wars”

“My brothers…”

“They made mistakes” Ryo said “Big mistakes, that are on them, not on you”

“But I felt…”

“Betrayed, disappointed, maybe alone, those are perfectly reasonable feelings, but listen to me young man” Ryo take him by the shoulders and look at him directly at the eyes “ Never felt guilty for winning”

A moment of silence. The looks of the two men were intense and Ryo could feel the brain of Davis processing his words.

“That scar is horrible” Davis said and his master punch him on the head.

“You thing I didn’t know it?” Ryo claimed “I’m going to use a eye patch forever”

The scar of the poison arrow that Joe throw at his eye. The sea King failed at kill him, but he let him desfigurated, his precious face was now marked. What is his wife going to think?

“It's not that bad”

“That is good lie, son” Ryo said recovering his usual confident posture “We are going to need more of those”

“Master?”

Ryo walking him at the least crowley part of the ship.

“Going at the King side was the right move, but don’t get confused, The Light is still the enemy”

“Our enemy?”

“The enemy of humanity” Ryo said with undeniable certainty “The brothers and sisters of The Light are the lovers of the evil. Under any circumstance you must trust them. Over all never, never trust the summon alchemist, Koushiro Izumi is the worst”

“Koushiro Izumi?”

“Memorice the name Davis, is the name of the devil”

“The war is over, why we are still worry about enemies?”

“Oh Davis, enemies are not a business of war, is life”

The tone of his master was jovial, but Davis felt sadder every minute.

“I’m not going with you at the Capital”

“What? Why?” Davis said alarming

“The Light is there, and they don’t like me very much, but don’t worry, I’m not going to lose the track of you. I will come back for you, you just need to remember my wise advice, okey?”

“Don’t trust The Light”

“Specially...?” Ryo asked

“Don’t trust Koushiro Izumi”

“See, you are ready for the real world, Davis”

A pat in the back and Davis felt his world trembling.

The ships of The Light arrived at The Capital. White pendants where everywhere and despite the sun of the summer women are wearing long shirts and men all the buttons fastened. A Light committee was waiting for the King, the summon alchemist in person leading.

“Kouji”

The knight heard his name and turned himself to found his brother on the ship.

“Kouchi! What are you doing?” Kouji asked noting the casual clothes that his brother was wearing.

The brothers hug each other, happinest and release were palpable.

“You are alive, Kouji!” the youngest twin exclaimed “I don’t had much time, The Light had forbidden the entranced of warlocks and wizards at the first circle of The Capital”

“What?!”

“But I had to see you, the news of your victory are flying, brother. The moon knight, is how everyone is calling you, they said you won the battle of the Ikkaku Island”

“We won together, Kouchi” said Kouji with tears on his eyes “It was your sword the one who give me the victory”

“I had to leave soon, but I’m steading on the old house of my mother, at the end of the city”

“Kouchi…”

“I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

Kouji look around himself, the symbols of The Light were for all the city, they were no merchants on the streets and the festive music sounding was a praying at the true God of Light. Kouji hold his sword and his brother’s arm and walked to found Davis Motomiya, it was his duty to escort him and his master to land.

Davis and his master were talking on a corner of the ship.

“You both had to come with me” The knight commanded.

The two foreign look around them with fear. On land The Light Committee was talking at The King. The summon alchemist turned his head at the second ship, were the four men were standing. Kouchi and Ryo Akiyama kneel to cover themselves of the look of Izumi.

The two men look at each other with surprise.

“Not a fan of The Light?” Ryo asked.

“Lets said that I more slippery that the other warlocks”

“Ryo Akiyama”

“Akiyama? I’m Kouchi Kimura, my mother had a lot of stories about you”

“Kimura? You are the son of the dusk witch? ”

“I am the dusk warlock now”

“Awesome…”

“Guys” Kouji interrupted “I had to escorted Davis and Akiyama at land.”

“Oh boy, I’m not going to land, believe me, the next war is going to start as soon as the alchemist see me” Ryo said as look with curiosity at the two identical boys.

“twins” said the brothers at unisone.

“Nice”

“You can stay in my house” Kouchi offered “Any person who hide from the summon alchemist is welcome”

Kouji coughed a little.

“Come on, brother do it for the dusk in the universe”

“Alright, but Motomiya is coming with me”

“Thank you, I own you one, pretty boy” Ryo said

“He is the moon knight” Kouchi corrected him.

“Whatever” Ryo responded “Don’t forget my advise, Davis”

And after a last warning the two men scuttled out of the ship.

Kouji knew that he had disobeyed direct orders but if The Light had this much power now the heretics had to help each other more than ever.

The festive on The Capital was opulent. Taichi saw with enthusiasm the long pendants on the street, there was music that he didn’t heard since his time on the old Light monastery and the sisters of Light are wearing their festive attire. He turned his head to saw at Yamato, but the eyes of the knight were lost on a wall of the street when the words <king predator> were written over a draw of a wolf head. Taichi new Yamato was a little lost, a peaceful time on the palace will help him. They could organize a haunting travel when the festivities were over. He had ending the war, the people couldn´t ask him more than that. It was true that The Light had take some liberties at his absent, but the King is back, he wish nothing more that return at his old day to day life.

HIkary and Takeru were waiting at the entrance of the palace. The face of the King and the Knight illuminated when they saw their little siblings. Taichi could hug his sister, for Yamato and Takeru a careful <master you are back> was enough for Yamato to fall at the floor.

“Yamato” Takeru called alarmed.

“He is tired, he hadn't rest well” The King spoke “Prince Takeru, please scorted The Wolf Knight at the infirmary”

Takeru hurry to accomplish the order, Taichi knew that the time with his brother will help Yamato more that anything else.

“Brother” HIkary called him with tears on her eyes “Thank the True God of Light you come back”

“The Honest Islands are in peace” The King said with pride “we had made sacrifices but all had been for the good of my people”

“Your victory is not the only miracle that God has conceived us your majesty” Koushiro said with the biggest smile that Taichi had ever see him.

“What you mean?”

“On your absent the Queen had converted at The Light” HIkary said.

“What!? Sora converted? What said the Queen mother?”

Hikary and Koushiro saw each other with sadness.

“The Queen mother was murdered by some foreign assassins”

“Assassins? for where?”

“Your highness” Koushiro said “It looks like the crown had more enemies that we thought”

“How is my wife?” Taichi asked, Sora and her mother were opposite poles but they were as close as the storms and the clouds, she had to be devastated.

“The Holy Queen is illuminated, brother”

There were something on the way that Hikary said the title that made Taichi freeze his blood.

The King finally come back at the throne room. White flowers and golden feathers were decorating the room. In the center was the Queen, sat on the big throne of the King. wearing a gold armor with a embroidered phoenix next to The Light symbols, the crown shine over her head and the big sword of the King Gennai was tide it at her wip. Beautiful was not the word that Taichi would use to described her, she was illuminated, but it wasn't the kind warm light that Hikary irradiated when she heal his wounds, it was the light of fire, violent and free, burning the world.

The Queen stand up before Taichi could order her to leave the throne. She walked toward him and with the fakest of the smiles she said.

“I had been waiting for you”.

His wife was in front of him, holding his hands. HIkary and Koushiro were each one at one side of him. He had come back home. He had won the war. The Light had won the war.
