#love your username btw its fun sounding

[domoriu]

i have some questions and i was wondering if you could answer them because you’re one of my favorite writers on here. plus you’re stories and vibe are very similar to mine so i’d love to here your POV!

do you have any advice and this on how to start a fanfic writing account? (on tumblr!)

how to make write good as in flow, wording, better sentences, etc? ik for this one it’s going to take practice but since i write a little already i was wondering how to make my writing actually sound good? (because urs is amazing!)

tips on motivation to write and post?

how is it as a writer on onedoorblr? (fics for bonedo) in terms of like the space to be able to post “different” stories. (hybrid, abo, freakysmutlol, femdom, dark as in tragedy’s and horror.) plus interactions, notes/likes?

sorry if this is a lot but i didn’t know who else to ask and you feel like a safer option to me of that makes sense? anyways we all love you and your stories a lot! 🩶 i hope the rest of your week is amazing (*^_^*)

OKAY I HAD TO GET ON MY LAPTOP TO ANSWER THIS ONE SINCE ITS A LOT!! also sorry if my advice is a little weird ive genuienly been in the fanfic scene for like 8 years now since i was 11 so i dont even know the answer to these myself (not my proudest moments btw...) so i'll try to give the best advice i can <3

1. i think... start off by finding a username that you think suits you a lot, and then worry about theme and all that just so your account looks good to your own eyes i think that'll really help with getting motivated to write (for me at least) and also really just have fun with it !! figuring out what you want to do on your page is also important so you can set those boundaries for yourself as well as the people engaging in your content but also always remember its your page so you can really do whatever you please. and dont be too discouraged by numbers because once you feel like its not fun and you're putting too much pressure on yourself it gets hard to make content.

2. for word building/flow all that kind of stuff... really imagine the scenarios in your head (maybe even act them out if you can, to make sure everything is flowing properly) if you're writing smut, what helps me is i look up sex positions or look up porn to get a good idea on the positioning and how to write things out. for word flow, i always have a thesaurus tab open that way i'm not using the same basic words repeatedly (this is probably the most helpful piece of advice imo, i love the thesaurus super bad) and also if you ever feel like the work isn't good or needs a little tweaking id say read it over, try to read it from the pov of someone who's reading your work for the first time or even get someone to beta read for you and give suggestions for any errors or anything that needs a bit of tweaking

3. for motivation, write down the gist of any idea you have down immediately because you might forget it or you'll just never have the motivation to really finish it. i have so many fic ideas locked away in a vault because i started writing the idea when the excitement for it died down or i completely lost motivation to write it because my brain wanted to move onto another fic idea.

write on your own schedule. just because you have a following doesn't mean you need to put out a new fic every single day, give yourself time to recollect your thoughts and work on a piece where you can put all of your attention into so you can be truly proud of your work !! because what's the point of writing something if you yourself don't even like it. and a lot of us have lives outside of tumblr, so don't pressure yourself to constantly write because soon you might get burnt out. i think having people who actually like my works is a lot of motivation as well as not feeling rushed to put things out so its like a little treat when i post something big

4. i love the people on onedoorblr !! the community isn't super big but she's growing a lot since i joined this fandom in april... and id say the range is pretty good with the people on here and everyone has their own unique things going on. i think its a pretty safe space here to write about "different" stuff, a lottt of my mutuals are all on the femdom kick when it comes to bonedo and there's a good balance of smut writers and people who write more fluffy things, i'm not sure how common the abo/hybrid/dark content fics are on onedoorblr since i don't tend to read fics in those categories but i have seen a couple hybrid bnd fics in passing !

since bnd tumblr is still kind of small you might not get a lot of notes upfront but it definitely builds up, unlike nct/enha/riize tumblr where you can basically get around 500/1k+ notes on a post within a couple days it might take a week or two also depending on who you write about. but don't get discouraged by it !! some members are just more popular in the fanfic world than others

i hope this was helpful and dont be afraid to ask any more questions >_< thank you soso much for liking my works and im glad u feel like my page is a safe space for questions that means a lot to me !! i hope your week is amazing as well <33

[halucynator]

Hellllooo,

Omg I really needed more swiftie mutuals <3

Please rant about all things you like, i love rants, gosh we seem to have so many close interests, I am not a writer tho, but I do read, effectively making me a reader which doesn't sound as cool, now that I think about it.

My fav Taylor song at the moment is "Slut!". I cannot get that out of my head. I mean "got lovesick all over my bed", I die a little everytime I hear that.

Fav Olivia song at the moment is logical (kinda like you username aah). I still CANNOT get over "can't take a joke, can't get you off". Like please kill me already.

Fav Sabrina song at the moment is probably "because i liked a boy". (damn who hurt me?)

And fav conan song at the moment, "Lookalike"

Tell me yours?

Nyc.

xx

hiiii

omg thank you thank you thank youuuu <33

okay so i love a lot of things some of them are pretty questionable but I'm questionable literally ask anyone on the discord server so its fine. anywhoo, i love taylor, maisie, gracie, phoebe, alix page, lucy (dacus not myself I'm not THAT narcissistic), olivia hardy (from wasia project) julien, conan, liv, sab (and @loserdiaz but that's a known fact) and so many other people to the point that even i cant keep track. oh and i love laufey, mitski and lyn lapid just bc.

my current fav by wasia project is petals on the moon but ur so pretty especially live from the studio is so gooddd

anywayss, reading is really cool thats how i got into writing (which is the best thing ever ik /hj) i also really really like reading bc it makes me smart and it's super fun

which is your favourite book series?? mine is lockwood and co as if you couldn't already tell by the amount of times I've mentioned it i also really love agggtm series bc why wouldn't it its so good. I'm sure i love so many more book series but my memory sucks (it does not but I'm lazy so I'll use that as an excuse)

anywhooo, i love scream which is weird bc i watched the first one when i was 10 (i know, who let me do that???) and i... liked it? (I'm very questionable i know) but i also tend to rant about it as if its real life (like WHY DID THEY KILL OF *insert name of dead character* IM SO MAD) and not a movie so I'm a bit annoying sometimes but pls don't tell me that otherwise I'll start crying /j

hmm my favourite taylor song atm would be "is it over now?" or "now that we don't talk" bc at the moment i resonate so well with those songs (ikr my life sounds like a nightmare: it is but it isn't really? idk) at yes i totally agree with the "got lovesick all over my bed statement but" also "love thorns all over this rose" and omg "you're not saying you're in love with me, BUT !! YOURE !! GONNA !! DO !!" like who gave taylor the right to be such a mastermind (funny, right? no? okay.) like the entire song, heck the entire album is so GOOD. HER ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY IS SO GOOD. (this is totally normal fan behaviour btw)

favourite liv song atm is probably lacy but i love all of the songs all the album (and yes logical is soooo good i mean i have to love it otherwise my url is meaningless) but my favourite lyric from the entire album is probably "we both drew blood but man THOSE CUTS were NEVER EQUAL!!" from the grudge (also one of my top 3) bc that hits DEEP. (bc the cuts were deep, i know I'm so funny /j)

favourite sab song atm is prolly cindy lou who / opposite (been there) / a nonsense christmas. i cheated but i simply cant choose one shes too good. also super funny bc cindy lou who and opposite are like sad vibes and then a nonsense christmas i want you to [redacted] and [redacted] me on the couch while we [redacted] presents (sorry i just think I'm so funny when I'm not but dont tell me that i wanna be a stand up comedian no I'm just kidding I'm not a failure. IM JOKING) (also regarding bc i liked a boy, I agree. who hurt you???)

anyways, my favourite conan song atm is prolly the best known option "heather" BUT i also like "the cut that always bleeds" the entire of kid krow tbh

okay i wrote a lot asdxcasdcvafd sorry

alsooo, you didnt ask this but my favourite gracie abrams song atm is "where do we go now?" and "cedar" (you arent mine) bc its such a heartbreaking song especially when you can relate to it. ooh and i also love camden, painkillers, rockland and long sleeves but they're all pretty depressing so if you don't like sad songs they're prolly not for you.

and THANK YOU for this ask this was so fun send me more sometimes <333

[pepper-seeds-archive]

Got any recommendations for more Napoleon movies? I really want to try watching another one after getting high off Waterloo.

Sure, but you’re in for the long haul on this post!

Now keep in mind not everything I’ll mention is Napoleon-centric. The vast majority of the media I consume involving my favorite gremlin man isn’t meant to be about him at all. Also remember I’m not always here for history, sometimes accuracy must be sacrificed for a good time! Nevertheless, I’ll try to find some films close to being like Waterloo in terms of history-ness. 

For some history, we have:

Napoléon

First shown in 1927, Napoléon is a silent film that I’ve come to appreciate. Not only was it fucking revolutionary for its camerawork at the time, but Albert Dieudonné also makes a fantastic gremlin man. I mean just look at the pure DRAMA on this man’s face! Would recommend, I enjoyed it thoroughly.  

Monsieur N.

Jumping ahead a few decades, Monsieur N. is a 2003 film about Napoleon’s last years. There’s a good bit of both French and English, and I found versions with captions! It also includes a good bit of conspiracies surrounding Napoleon’s death, always a nice touch! 

Austerlitz

To the 1960s! Austerlitz is, as you might have already guessed, a film about the gremlin man’s victory at Austerlitz. It’s so damn 60s and I love it to death. La Marche d’Austerlitz is also one of my all-time favorite compositions and I get giddy whenever I hear it! Jean Ledrut made a fantastic piece, at least in my opinion. 

Now for a few things not totally pertaining to your question, but I liked them enough to share! 

Joséphine ou la Comédie des ambitions

Listen. I love this series. I don’t speak French but was enamored the entire time. Look at him. Look at Daniel Mesguich as Napoleon. He’s everything I could have ever wanted. Is this series about Josephine? Yes. Am I in it for my mans? Abso-fucking-lutely. 

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

I know, I know! This movie is not even close to being about my mans! I’m not going to kid when I say I added this because Alain Chabat is such a funny Napoleon I was grinning in every scene he was in! I know this is a far cry from a masterpiece of a film, but it’s been a feel-good movie for me since I was small. This (along with my endless love for Assassin’s Creed: Unity) is what sparked my interest in Napoleon in the first place! Watch Night at the Museum, make serotonin, have fun with your history!

So, in conclusion, I may watch too much history stuff. I spent my day losing my shit at Geoffrey Rush in Quills and it isn’t even the weekend. I’ll leave you with a picture of a disheveled and disappointed-looking Charlie Chaplain as Napoleon.

Organization XIII Coded Avatars

Hi howdy

I was scrounging around in the depths of the khwiki and ended up on the Avatar Menu page. I never played kh coded (...this is technically from Kingdom Hearts Mobile) and I know very little about its gameplay but there was this side mode where you could make custom avatars and there were a bunch of pre-set ones, all with unique usernames and quotes

There’s one for every member in Organization XIII.

Please look at them.

DaSuperior “Avatar Parts, empower me!”

Fr33sh00tr “Pet goldfish? As if!”

Whirlwinnr “‘Love’...my outfit? Bah.”

TheChillE1 “Avatar pets? Fascinating!”

SilentHero “On your last legs yet?”

ZexyScheme “You cheat? Deplorable.”

LunaDVine “Expecting a mission?”

Flamesilox “F-L-A...Got it memorized?”

N♪cturne “My new song melts faces!”

GambleOfF8 “Scratch card? I'm game.”

AssaXIn8 “The Keyblade must be mine.”

SavageNmph “Do I detect DISTRESS?”

Key2DestNE “They ran out of sea-salt.”

Never4get “We meet again.”

Let me reiterate that these are from an official Kingdom Hearts game

I was going to make a cute little graphic or something but I decided nah I want the pngs to be downloadable straight from the post

Other notes and some (lots of) rambling under the cut

Avatar parts and scratch cards are references to mechanics related to the Avatar Kingdom as a whole. No idea what avatar pets are supposed to be though- I think he might be referring to buddies

Shoutout to Naminé being assigned mouse. Also “Shadow Dawg”. Also Roxas as “Dog 3″ is sending me- this isn’t what this post is supposed to be about

There’s this thing called the “Avatar Sector” where you... clear a bunch of floors or something idk I’ve never played the game

But after every ten floors you get a new title! For the sake of time I’m just screenshotting the table and pasting it in

And each Organization member has one of these titles. From the bottom up, we’ve got:

Junior Diver: Roxas Diver: Demyx, Marluxia Senior Diver: Vexen, Larxene Sector Mod: Xaldin Sector Admin: Zexion Sector Master: Axel Architect: Xigbar Wizard: Lexaeus, Saïx, Xion Legend: Xemnas, Luxord

I’mmmmmm not sure what the pattern is there? Or if there even is one???? It’s not physical strength, or ability, or importance in the Organization, but it doesn’t look to be entirely random... Considering this is from a side mode to KH Coded it’s probably better to just not think about it but hey now you know

Various ramblings on the things themselves:

Da Superior..................

Xigbar’s quote is a reference to that “Do you always have to stare at me like I just drowned your goldfish” line from 358/2 Days. this might be common knowledge but I like to cover my bases

shoutout to tumblr user @/ fr33sh00tr for being one of the uhhh 3 people I’ve seen ever reference these things

wow they really play up Xaldin’s hatred of love to a comedic level huh

the username Whirlwinner SLAPS though

Vexen’s mouth is the only one of the Organization that’s not pink/scarlet! Peculiar!

Lexaeus’s quote is a reference to the time in 358/2 Days when he hit Roxas really hard. Another L for Lexaeus fans 😔

also his eyes are gold for some reason?? clearly doesn’t mean anything here but why

aesthetic probably. xigbar’s eyes ARENt gold

ZexyScheme 💀

fun fact Zexion uses the word “deplorable” TWICE in Chain of Memories (only once in the English version of Re:CoM but he does indeed say it twice in the Japanese version). This is the third time. It’s not a very common word or anything so I think it’s his favorite word lmao

Axel’s username is a reference to the silly little nickname Xigbar uses for him in Days which makes me think Xigbar came up with all these usernames

shoutout to Demyx

something about the way “Do I detect DISTRESS?” is written is so funny to me, she sounds SO excited

XION AS NEVER4GET......

it’s definitely Xion btw because they all have numbers ascribed to them and Never4get is the only 14

that’s it

Thank you so much for to reading my post

[chenziee]

There are sparks between us

First one for this batch of requests! (I really should stop pretending they’re going to be “drabbles”, I haven’t written a single one that could pass for a drabble)

Thank you so much @detective1412d​ for the prompt! This... might not be what you had in mind but I hope you like it! <33 (I absolutely love your username btw, just needed you to know that)

Requests are still open, please refer to this post for more info :)

[Read on AO3 or under the cut]

----------

Even when he was only just nearing the little house where he and the Straw Hats had taken shelter after the battle with Doflamingo, Law could tell it was noisy. That could only mean that Straw Hat was finally awake and a wave a relief washed over him. It wasn’t like Straw Hat sleeping the past few days away was unexpected after the strain on his body, and Law had checked his condition regularly to make sure everything was alright, but hearing his laughter was still a weight off of his shoulders.

He could do without the noise but he supposed that was just a part of the package with these pirates and their captain. Just couldn’t do the simplest of things quietly.

Law was surprised at the chuckle that had escaped him at the thought. When did he become so… fond of these people? He quickly wiped the smile off of his face, schooling his expression back to neutral as he reached out to open the door.

“Torao!” Straw Hat greeted him immediately. “Where did you go?”

Looking in the direction of the voice, Law was surprised to no find the other Straw Hats or the samurai sitting at the at the table but instead, Fire Fist Ace and the revolutionary army chief of staff were there with Straw Hat himself. What he wasn’t surprised about, however, was seeing his fellow pirate captain stuffing his face with food, his head barely visible behind the mountain in front of him. At least he swallowed his food before he tried to talk to Law.

“Just checking on the marines,” Law replied, leaning Kikoku against the wall and pushing his hood away from his face.

“Boring,” Straw Hat said in response.

“Someone has to do it since you people don’t seem to give a damn,” Law noted, raising a challenging eyebrow but Straw Hat only stuck his tongue out at him, making Law huff out a small laugh.

“The navy can suck it,” Fire Fist said as he stole a chicken leg right from under Straw Hat’s fingers, earning himself loud protests from his younger brother. A second later, a pipe came to land against the side of Ace’s head. The man clicked his tongue and dropped the chicken back on the pile with a huge pout.

Sabo smiled in approval, then finally reacted to Ace’s words, “Yeah, they don’t seem all too eager to catch us anyway.”

“That’s because gambler old man isn’t a bad guy,” Straw Hat said, nodding seriously to himself as he grabbed the chicken leg that Ace had tried to steal.

As if that made any difference. “He’s still an admiral. They’re going to move sooner or later,” Law sighed, ruffing Straw Hats hair on his way to grab some water.

The other pirate only snickered, letting his head fall so far back that Law’s neck hurt at the sight. “But Torao, it’s not like we can’t beat them.”

 Before Law could say anything, Sabo interrupted him, “You’re not fighting an admiral, Luffy. Not now when you’re still recovering.”

“Exactly, Luffy. I’m the one who’s going to fight him,” Ace agreed in a grave voice.

“Neither of you is fighting the admiral!” Sabo snapped, and Law was glad at least one of these brothers seemed to be remotely sane.

Is what he thought at least, before Luffy whined, “Not fair, you already fought him, Sabo!”

His words were closely followed by Ace rolling his eyes and huffing, “You just want to fight him yourself.”

“What can I say, it’s my job to pick fights with the government,” Sabo said with a grin, shrugging as if what he had said made perfect sense.

Law sighed. How and why did he get involved with these people? “How about no one is fighting the admiral,” he said, voice perfectly flat as he shot them all a glare.

“You’re no fun.” Straw Hat announced, sounding as sulky as Law had ever hear him and looking back at Law with a huge pout on his lips.

Law felt the corner of his mouth twitch upward. How was this idiot so cute? Moving away from the counter, Law took the two steps that separated them and leaned down, briefly pressing his lips to Luffy’s. It was just a quick peck, but only when the soft touch of skin sent jolts down his spine, making his heartbeat speed up like crazy, did Law realize what he had just done. He kissed Luffy.

He kissed Luffy.

They barely even had time to talk about this… thing between them—really only had a minute in the middle of the battle, back on the roof while Luffy’s haki recovered—just enough for some hurried confessions. Luffy was asleep the entire time after and Law wasn’t even entirely sure he felt the same way.

He was honestly starting to panic a little bit.

Taking a deep breath, Law finally stood up straight, moving as if on autopilot to drop into the last available chair at the table. Not like he could do much about it now except try to play it cool, after all. Especially when the silence suddenly hanging over the room was getting unbearable. He hoped his expression wasn’t betraying the battle that was raging in his mind but hell, he couldn’t even look anyone of them in the face. Mostly, he just didn’t want to know what expression Luffy was wearing right then so he only focused on the mug in his hands, taking a long sip of his water just to have an excuse to close his eyes.

He was brought back to reality when he felt something warm touch his cheek and his eyes shot open. It took him a second to realize what just happened. That Luffy had kissed him back. When he turned to look to the side, he came face to face with that bright, wide grin and he didn't bother stopping the small, soft smile that pulled on his own lips right then; the warm feeling in his chest and his stomach, the ghost of Luffy's touch on his lips and cheek… It was too much, too impossible to fight.

Plus, he didn't want to fight it anyway. Luffy reciprocating his feelings made him feel light, made him feel safe, made him happy, and Law was done running away from things that made him happy just because he was too scared to lose them.

He wasn't going to lose this one thing even if it killed him.

Suddenly, the comfortable warmth Law was feeling disappeared, only to be replaced by the unbearable heat coming from the wall of fire in his face. Law jerked back on reflex, nearly falling off of his chair in the process.

“Ace, stop!” came Luffy’s voice from somewhere on the other side of the fiery wall.

Law as well turned to look at him questioningly; the only possible suspect was glaring right back at him, an unspeakable fury written all over his face while his entire right arm was engulfed in flames. Even his hair was on fire.

“You touch my little brother again and I will burn your face off,” Ace growled, making the wall grow even larger to prove his point.

Law rolled his eyes. Talk about an overreaction.

Sabo’s hand landed on Ace’s shoulder a moment later. “Calm down, Ace, or you’re going to burn down the house,” he said, voice sounding soothing.

Law almost thanked him, but when he looked at the revolutionary’s face, there was a cold smile there and that was honestly a lot more terrifying than whatever Ace was show him.

“Just leave it to me, I’ll crush his head like an egg for robbing Luffy of his first kiss,” the man added, his hand already coated in Armament haki.

As if Law was about to stick around for that.

With a sigh, Law coated his own arm in haki and reached through the flames to grab at Straw Hat. “Shambles,” he said lazily and immediately, the two of them found themselves on the roof, the two enraged screams only a muffled echo from down below.

“Your power is always so cool,” Straw Hat breathed as soon as he found his footing after the sudden change of scenery.

“Thanks,” Law replied with a chuckle at the stars that were dancing in Luffy’s eyes. He was seriously too cute. However, his amusement soon died down when he remembered what Sabo had said and he frowned, his gaze turning to quizzical. “Was that really your first kiss?” he asked slowly.

Straw Hat cocked his head to the side, a confused expression finding its way on his face. “Yeah?”

A feeling of dread and shame washed over Law. He really fucked up there, didn’t he? “I’m sorry,” he said, trying to sound as sincere as he could.

“Why?”

Law paused, staring blankly at the honest, bemused frown on Luffy’s face that accompanied the simple question. Did he seriously not understand why Law was apologizing?

“For stealing your first kiss?” he tried, gesturing vaguely between them. “And without asking,” he added, making a face at his own stupidity. Why didn’t he realize what he was about to do until after it happened?

“Why?” Straw Hat asked again, pausing for a second before continuing, “I mean, it’s not a big deal, right? I don’t know why Ace and Sabo reacted like that. And I like you and I liked it so it’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

Law blinked. Luffy wasn’t wrong but it… sounded a little too simple. Looking into Luffy’s eyes, Law couldn’t see any hint of uncertainty or any sign that he didn’t mean every single word he had said and out of nowhere, Law felt like he was the stupid one.

He couldn’t help it. He laughed, suddenly feeling so light and calm. Maybe he really shouldn’t be thinking too hard about things, especially where this idiot was concerned. It wasn’t like he bothered to think anything through, after all.

With a crooked smile still on his face, Law leaned forward, his fingers gently brushing Luffy’s cheek before they buried in his soft hair. He ignored the shouts of his name and death threats coming from the two brothers who were now running all around the house looking for them, only focusing on the grin on Luffy’s face and the warmth of his gaze. “Then I better do it more often,” he whispered only a second before their lips connected once more.

The kiss was slower this time, soft and innocent and making those damn butterflies in Law’s stomach go crazy. He really was so gone for this man. He couldn’t help but remember the time after they had left the auction house on Sabaody two years ago, the one where he met Luffy for the first time. After all was said and done, Shachi had looked at him with this stupid grin on his face and called Law smitten.

Law had just rolled his eyes and told him not to be an idiot but he wondered, if the same conversation happened now, whether he would be able to say anything against the accusation. Hell, maybe Shachi was right even then. Maybe Law was taken in by his brightness, the life he was radiating, and his reckless willingness to fight the entire world for the people he cared about. He couldn’t deny he was drawn to him ever since they first met.

Finally, they pulled away from each other, both out of breath and with smiles on their faces, and Law thought to himself that it might have been unavoidable. Unavoidable for Luffy to save him, both metaphorically and literally, for Law to fall in love, for the two of them being here, kissing on the roof while Luffy’s brothers went through several stages of mental breakdown below them.

And Law would go through everything that had happened in the past week all over again just for this moment.

Hiya, hope you’re having a great day~ This is gonna sound out of nowhere, but I recently found your tumblr after re-reading that amazing hob chapter and it was just peak Xi and I love you for injecting so much humor into my morning~ though all I know of hob is that it’s a god bl xianxia setting and a little about the story but what I do know is that I love it already. And Xi in his cave, known to be deadly to even other gods, just makes me think he unintentionally make himself into Rapunzel 1/2

“ Xi’s home just makes me think of a fairy tale with voluntary seclusion and being surrounded in his own slice of heaven whilst unleashing justice/vengeance when needed. I just love how Xi has become such a legend on accident. Plus, I eagerly devour any content with my favorite OC of yours~ “

(is this 2/2 or did tumblr eat it?)

‘Btw, you probably think my username is familiar and yeah, I’m that crazy lunatic that rants in your comment section and I’m sorry if I ramble too much. I get like that when nervous and/or excited about something so I hope I wasn’t too offensive. Feel free to tell me to screw off when I get annoying.’

i am in fact having a good day thank you! and thanks for reading, yrz is so funny to write <3 its okay if you don't know much about hob because i’ve only read a couple chapters in myself (i keep getting distracted ^-^’’)

yeah yrz is kind of a myth among even the gods, most of them don’t meet him face to face. he’s like a cryptid lol. there’s a new generation of gods about 800 years old of which the mc of the hob is one and yrz has been in seclusion for 900 years. so the first scene i wrote is likely the first time any of the new gods have ever seen him from up close. no one knows how he lives or what his library is like -- i mean, he’d let them borrow the books if hey asked, but no one ever asks! (ignoring the fact that his mountain is almost impossible to traverse for anyone but him, which is something he rarely thinks about lol). he doesn’t even keep living servants, because he prefers to use constructs to keep things clean, and he still cooks food for himself. 

Accidental legend yrz is such a great thought, i keep getting giggle fits at random times during the day. 

hey i thought i recognized your username! don’t worry about it, i love the ranting, it’s fun. don’t worry if i don’t reply its just that i don’t actually have time to reply, especially when a chapter gets a lot of reviews. writing reply's takes up time from writing the actual chapters lol. don’t let that stop you from going ham on the comments though, i save every single one i get ;)

Mysterious messages

Paring : 707 x reader

Au - You get a text from a mysterious stranger. Where will this lead? let's find out.

Notes:

I have no idea how I came up with this plot but I kinda liked the idea and here we are. And yes, I used a binary converter. I also hope you don't mind my new ship here. This should've been a crack fic but it's really not.

You check your phone and find a message from a stranger.

Unknown number : 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101001 01100100 01101001 01101111 01110100 !

You look at the message and decide to answer.

You: Quite rude to send that to a stranger don't you think?

Unknown number: What? Oh, I didn't mean you. I tried to send that to my friend.

You: Why do you call your friend an idiot and that in binary?

Unknown number: Well, I wanted him to work for the message. I'm impressed that you figured out what it means, in record time too.

You: We just had to write in binary in school. I took it a challenge.

Unknown number: You must be into computers are you a programmer?

Unknown number: Must be a great teacher. I have programmed but I'm not working in that field. Why are you looking for someone?

You: He is, and no I was just curious. Say, what is your name?

Unknown number: I can't tell that to a stranger!

You: Oh, that's understandable sorry that I asked. You can call me MC btw.

Unknown number: I was joking, sadly I can't use my Emojis on here. Just call me 707.

You: Secret agent or mirror lol?

You: Oh wait, it's a short form of your name and you are actually named Lord of lol.

You quickly save his name it’ feels kinda strange to keep talking to an unknown number.

707: You just made me spit my drink out. That's awesome. Lord of lol I should trademark that. Now I'm glad that I accidentally texted you.

You: I'm glad that I made you laugh. You seem like a nice person. And how did that even happen?

707: I'm not that nice, and I just got a new phone seems like your number is very similar to Yoosung's.

You: Yoosung is your friend I guess.

707: Ah, I shouldn't tell you such things.

You: Don't worry I won't tell him that you told his name to a stranger. Even when we are not strangers anymore.

707: Don't tell me you know him ??????

707: You are right we are amigos now! Um, maybe that's a bit too soon… but you like a beta amigo.

You: Sweet, seems like I skipped the alpha build! And I don't know anyone called Yoosung, don’t worry.

707: You are really cheerful, you should be careful or people will exploit that.

You: Seems like you speak from experience. I will be careful.

707: What does MC stand for btw? Main character? Maine Coon? Marie Claire maybe?

707: Ahhhh, I have to leave now I have to defend justice!

You: Ohhhh so you are a superhero !? Awesome, good luck and don't let the bad guys beat you.

707: Don't worry about me, get safely home.

You: Yeah sure good night, hero of justice.

You: Oh and it's neither of that but I love cats. Maybe I'll tell you what MC stands for at some point.

You put your phone away and make your way home. What a strange conversation but also really interesting.

What kind of person is 707? You know nothing about this mysterious person but yet you feel a connection. It's strange, unreasonable even, but you really hope that you can talk to him again.

Later after you had dinner you find a new message on your phone.

707: Cats are the best. I prefer just guessing what MC could mean.

You: I see you sure love mysteries.

You: Lately I keep thinking about making meals for cats. What meal do you think they would like?

707: That's a good question. Maybe salmon. I personally just eat HBC.

You: That's not healthy for you. I was thinking about making pancakes for cats. What do you think about that?

707: That's quite an interesting idea.

You: Everyone loves pancakes and I think it's unfair that cats can't enjoy some.

707: You really have a point there. I shall rename you pancake.

You: Wait, you can't just rename me!

707: Too bad I just did.

You are so mean, have mercy mighty one!

707: You are really funny.

707: Are you serious about the cat pancakes?

You: Of course I even have a thumplr account to collect the ideas I have.

707: Hmmm I should go and find that.

You: Go ahead and follow me while you on it. It can't harm to have a fellow supporter.

707: Sure thing. I will need to make an account. I wonder if you can figure it's me.

You: Hm I think I will know.

707: If you figure it out you can win a prize--

You: Uhhhh what price?

707: I will figure that out when you actually manage to find me.

You: You really are something. I really hope I can find you.

707: We will see.

707: Don't look until next morning.

You: Okay I won't.

You really enjoy talking with him. You know basically nothing about him but you really like him already.

It's hard to resist to check your account but you feel like that he has something planned.

You wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is to check your account and the followers have skyrocketed.

It's not just bots but also thanks to someone turning pancakes for cats into a trend.

You never had an idea that there would be this much interest in it.

It seems to stem from the C&R’s chairman Jumin Han.

Who would thought that one famous person like him would be interested in having pancakes for his cat?

You find it quite amusing.

You check through each of your new followers until one of them strikes you as odd.

On the surface, it's just a bot for Led sneakers but there is something about its name.

-sevohbotven

It has to be him you are certain.

You send him an anon message.

Hey lord of lol I know it's you. You really got my dream trending, thank you so much. You are the best. I'd like to talk some more - pancake

Not long after that, you get a message.

sevohbotven: You really got me and in record speed but how did you know it was me?

You: Well who would make a LED sneaker bot? And your username really is obvious.

sevohbotven: I got busted. I admit defeat like a good boy.

You: Ohhhh so you are a guy?

sevohbotven: Ahhhh, my secret is out…

You: Lol you are so funny. I really like talking to you. It doesn't matter to me if you are a guy or a girl btw.

sevohbotven: I like talking to you too. I like how open you are. I don't really care about your gender either.

You: I wouldn't mind telling you.

sevohbotven: Nah I rather am surprised. Actually, that brings me to your price.

sevohbotven: It is drumroll, please!

You: *drumroll*

sevohbotven: *Thanks for playing along*

sevohbotven: It is an invitation to get in contact with a party planner! If you get along. You can get invited to the best party ever to promote your pancakes for cats. Trust me there will be plenty of people who are interested in cats. It doesn't end there either there is a 707% chance that I will be there.

You: What really you will be at that party?

sevohbotven: Yes it's a party organized by our own MC. It's for a good cause and I'm sure it will be fun.

You: Sounds interesting if I really get to meet you then it's definitely worth it.

sevohbotven: Don't get too excited about that, I'm just plain old me. I bet you wouldn't even recognize me.

You: I really don't think that you are plain at all.

sevohbotven: I think I'll give it a shot give me your party planner's contact information.

You: Great! I bet you will be too dazzled by our other members anyways.

You: I don't think so. Hey if I find you will you dance with me?

sevohbotven: Hm, fine I agree on your terms. But be warned my dancing skills are out of this world.

You: I was expecting nothing else. Oh, one more thing if I manage to find you will you tell me your name?

sevohbotven: You are a tough one but fine. But you also have to reveal the secret of your name to me!

You: That's only fair.

sevohbotven: I actually have some work to do but we talk again when I can.

You: Okay make sure that you get some rest and eat something good. I hope we can talk some more soon.

You don't get another reply from him. It's okay for you though you know that you might get to see him soon.

At least if the party planner really is as good as he promised.

~ End note: I kinda love making stories over random guests and sub characters and I really think that pancake is cute. I know this technically means that this not a reader insert but pancake is a blank slay so it should work. If there is interest or if I feel like it I will make the second part.

Also, I once had a LED sneaker bot and I´m sure that was 707.

One of those new social networks, but actually cool

[Updated 2018-12-07]

Mastodon! It’s decentralised and has lots of queers and people are actually using it. Let me try to make a masterpost because I’m excited.

Decentralised means there’s not one site, like tumblr.com, where everyone is, but that people are on loads of different servers (”instances”, at the moment over 2000 of them) that are all running the same software and communicating with each other, so that you can have your account on any of them and interact with people who are on different ones.

What’s cool

It has content warnings (in the form of spoilers/readmores)

You can filter/mute words or phrases

It is open source and many of the people who use it actually help make it, and if you can’t do that by coding, you can still tell others about a thing that would be cool to have, and sometimes that is complicated, but sometimes it leads to really cool features

You can choose the instance you sign up on by how much you like its admin, for example… or by how good the anti harassment policy is.

Everyone uses cringy/awesome URLs. I’m literally on cybre.space and other instances that exist are catgirl.science and toot.cat and anticapitalist.party, how cool is that, finally the aesthetics to fit this cyberpunk dystopia that we live in

Posts are called toots because mastodons are like mammoths and elephants make “toot”

Most (or hopefully all) instances don’t track us and won’t sell our data and don’t display ads, like commercial social media sites do

No full text search, to prevent terfs from harassing everyone who writes about terfs, and authors from harassing everyone who criticizes their work, etc etc well you know what Tumblr and birbsite are like. (You can search for hashtags, accounts, and among toots that you have already interacted with or that are your own.)

Image descriptions!

There is a setting to autopause gifs

What’s not cool (have to be honest, no place is perfect)

The current default theme is not very accessible (low contrast, white text on dark background, not great at high zoom) – there are ways to deal with this, scroll down to “Random Stuff” for possible fixes. But still, could be better.

There are instances in the fediverse (that means: all Mastodon, and also non-Mastodon-but-using-something-similar, instances combined) that allow or even encourage their users to harass others, like on Twitter – you are dependent on your own instance admin to block those instances from connecting with yours. (You can, however, block users, and block instances from your own account, and remove whole instances from your followers.)

Sometimes, things don’t work as one would expect (but usually people are happy to help).

So, that was the honest-ish advertisement, now for resources.

General

User Guide: Explains how Mastodon works, how to use it, important terms. Pay attention to the privacy settings and to the way federation works, those might not be very intuitive. See also the FAQ

Toot How-To : Intro to Mastodon

Mastodon 101: A Queer-Friendly Social Network You’re Gonna Like a Lot on Autostraddle

Resources for Mastodon newbies (I love this one, it has a few links and some info about things that you might find weird when joining Mastodon)

Choosing an instance

So, you are considering signing up, but have no idea which instance to choose?

I’d recommend browsing through http://instances.noct.zone/ and picking whichever sounds nicest to you.

Or if you prefer a thing that recommends an instance based on your answers to a few questions: instances.social

So here are my subjective recommendations (keep in mind, I only know a small part of all the instances in existence):

monsterpit.net I only just discovered this one, but they look great

computerfairi.es is small and queer and has a lot of tech talk. It uses a theme with purple background

elekk.xyz gaming-focused & explicitly feminist

queer.party I have a side account there and it’s nice

tootplanet.space I have another side account there and it’s also great

wandering.shop I don’t know this one well, but it seems to be the good kind of geeky

weirder.earth also

mastodon.art for, well, art

sunbeam.city solarpunk

toot.cat seems super nice

Things to consider

Code of conduct and administration. You’ll want to pick an instance that aligns with your principles and the way you want to use your account, and that you trust to deal with any issues appropriately. Relevant info is on [instance url]/about/more.

Size. Instances have a local timeline, where you see the public toots of everyone on this instance. on a small instance, it can help build community. on the flagship mastodon.social, with more than 100 000 users, it is too fast to even follow.

Community. Use this tool to see the last few public toots from that instance and decide if it’s a place you’d like to be at.

Looks. Is the theme readable for you & do you like it? Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to check this yet, but screenshots are being collected here.

Basics

On Mastodon, because there are loads of different places that are connected, usernames look more like email addresses because they always include your instance as well:

One of my accounts is @maunzikation@cybre.space (but I’m mostly at @catte@situational.softi.city right now, feel free to follow me there). maunzikation alone would be confusing – in fact, I’m also @maunzikation@computerfairi.es, but these are all different accounts that have little to do with each other (except that I made them – but you can’t tell that from the name, it could be made by someone else). So if you want to mention someone who’s on a different instance, you have to include their instance for it to work. Just like you’d include “@gmail.com” or “@riseup.net” when emailing someone.

Getting involved

You have an account, you feel somewhat at home, and you want to make stuff better? Or there is some accessibility improvement that you need before you sign up?

There is the github thingie https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon

If you want to report a problem or suggest new features, what you want to do is go here specifically. There is a search bar. Use it to see if anyone has already posted about that thing. If yes, you can add your info or comments there. If not, click “New Issue” and make your own post. (If yes, but it’s been months since the last comment, maybe also open a new issue, it might not be great form, but at least people will notice.)

If you want more of an open discussion, or need help in figuring out what you want or need, post to this forum.

Or you can:

Financially support your instance’s Patreon, if it has one, or your instance admin personally.

Give feedback/money/… to any Mastodon apps you use! Most of them are also free and open source, just like Mastodon itself, and very happy about any contribution.

Keep an eye on the federated timeline and try to help people who are having problems figuring out how stuff works.

Look at #introductions and #introduction occasionally and boost some of the toots, to spread the word about newcomers that people might want to follow.

Random Stuff

Solutions to accessibility issues (also interesting if you simply don’t like the way it looks)

How to automatically post your mastodon posts on twitter with IFTTT (would also work with tumblr)

Mastodon-Twitter-Bridge: Sign in with both so your twitter followers can find you on mastodon

On the history of mastodon and some of the things that I implied with “it’s complicated” re people making the software they use

I didn’t want to post it as an actual recommendation, but there is an instance called ephemeral.glitch.social that deletes toots at some time that is determined my the moon phases, and promises to be unstable with lots of feature testing, and people there seem to be nice. Some people use it just for fun, some for self-deleting private accounts. Or you could use Forget on any instance for the latter (also works for Twitter btw).

And joinmastodon.org is like a non-instance-specific page about mastodon, not very detailed, but has a few useful links. If you want to link to Mastodon as a whole, link joinmastodon.
