#making fanmade stories on my old fanfic

[undertalesyafiqah12]

Soo...

This is very related to Gaster Gang series.

Well... This is because that I'm actually working on the LWGG revamp series.

If you don't know, I'm a creator of Living with Gaster Gang, the Gacha Life/Club series (yes, the same gacha rainbow girl who made a make no sense series and ooc Gaster Gang personalities). And maybe some of you thought that I was probably quit Gacha considering how messed up Gacha community are.

The thing, I can't say that I'm quit or not. It's just I wanted to make it, but motivation just out for a moment then had it before lost motivation again.

When I wanted to make the revamp, I just plan to do it, but I was... Let's just say I'm too obsessed with another fandom that made me less motivation. Yet, Gaster Gang still in my heart.

I tried my best to actually make one, yet I was busy with school and now college.

But now that I'm still had motivation to make the another revamp again. This time with actual personality of Gaster Gang and the OC of mine who's going to had a revamp (and brand new name and backstory).

I admit that thinking of the story I made before the revamp was too ridiculous, too confusing, too boring and even make no sense. (Let's be real rn, Wingding being OC's father when he can't even take care of himself? The others are accepted the fact that they're adopting brothers of OC? A 14 year old suddenly had a revenge of the girl around her age for some reason? The soliders try to kidnapped innocent girl just bc of the 14 year old princess that suddenly took over the country? And most importantly, their age grows as I grew? Yeah... I get it.)

Well, I know that my 13 year old doesn't know what was she's doing as she doesn't know Tumblr yet. And even though she did, she's just ignore it and saying it's her "AU".

Making an AU might be an excuses, but as I grew up and knew some things on the internet, let's just say it's weird to think right now as I grow up.

Well... As for now, I'm remaking the new Gaster Gang on Wattpad. But I'm also planning to post on Tumblr and Discord before making it to Gacha Life 2.

And for that, here's the sneak peak that I made:

Well... Do you recognize the lines? Bc it's from Bunny's comics that I decided to put it on the Epilogue of the story.

Ehem... I know I'm supposed to ask permission to Bunnymuse. Soo...

{@bun-bunmuse I know you might not read it. But can I have a permission for using your Gasters and use your comics to make it like a storyline for the stories. And @phaunicier, also permission to use Maestro since they'll be in the series too. I'll credit when I post it on Wattpad and stuff.}

But yeah, thanks for reading my confession for it. I know there's barely any Gaster Gang fans who actually watch it, but I promise that I revamp it to be better. Also, forgive my English when I type it.

Im the stc lore anon. Im very aware of the old interviews. In fact thats exactly part of why i get so frustrated with the fan interpretations of lore. Because its one of the things in my view that debunks the romance about sleep theories. Its just very frustrating feeling so strongly about my theory the fan lore is not canon while seemingly most of the fandom assumes the fan lore is absolutely 100 percent canon and just needs some more puzzle pieces to unluck the True Story. I used to believe the fanmade lore, but i no longer can do so especially when ive seen various bits of concerning behavior in the fandom where i think people take it wayyy too far. I think the only "canon" interpretation of the lyrics is the real person behind the masks life story, otherwise theres no "canon" and we are supposed to do whatever we want. But i think things have just gotten wayyy out of control with the its about a romance with sleep theory. What makes me actually hate it is how much people insist the people on stage are "characters" (i regularly see disclaimers saying "dont worry im just talking about the characters not the real people" when i really dont think they are "characters" in the way people think... this is not an anti fanfic/shipping/headcanon about real people stance btw i dont care about that as long as you dont go too far, i just dont like the insistence theyre "characters" because that feels so dehumanizing) and how rude people are if you dont agree with the fanlore (the vitriol aimed at alternate interpretations is really disgusting, especially the "why are sexualizing the lyrics, youre a bad person" crowds vitriol and insistence theyre the Good Fans while if you dont agree you deserve awful things). Otherwise, i just get *personally* annoyed with how often i come across the "its totally canon that its about sleep theories" when i dont want to *personally* hear those theories at all. I hope im making sense, and maybe im being an asshole in how im expressing my views idk. I just really feel like an outsider in this fandom and get so happy when i come across people who actually agree with me because it makes me feel less alone and like im not stupid or whatever. Just have fun, let the music mean something special to you, and remember the band (and their fans for that matter, going back to the vitriol thing) are human beings, thats what ultimately matters. I just think the lore as the fans see it has gotten into concerning territory. Wont leave any more anons about this for now because i dont want to drag this out more, i just saw your replies/post and wanted to respond in hopes what im trying to say will finally come out right (im not always the best with words, im very blunt, im very opinionated, etc)

Good Morning or Guten Morgen or Happy Timezone

I get your point and I don't think that you're an asshole.

I think you are struggling with something that many struggle and the fans that you call out also struggle with that: it's acceptance. Or accepting what is; in that case it's fan's who act a certain way or have different opinions or see things in a different way.

Acceptance is a mastery. It's something that is very hard to achieve.

Your situation reminds me of something that I could not accept for a long time in that fandom. So I'm going to talk about that.

This will probably be a long post so I'm hiding this and also mental health topics will come up.

I always had this assumption that everyone could see what I see when I look at Vessel. I'm talking concerts photos and “peeled Vessel” and the things that get revealed when the paint comes down. To me his scars are one of the few things that I can observe and so can everyone else, right?! There are so many even the ones from a certain attempt on both his right and his left forearm.

Well...right?! They are right in your face....

No! They are right in my face. I got into weird arguments about this topic. Which is a weird thing to argue about because this topic is a very painful one and also a strange one. There is a giant stigma around it. There are even “mental health professionals” on YouTube who refuse to talk about that topic and pretend that it does not exist because YouTube does not like these topics. It's a weird topic.

But it was exactly that what got me into the lyrics so much. I wanted to figure out the story behind what I could see.

All I found was myself and the parts of me that I denied that even existed. I stopped searching for the story and started to face myself instead.

I found a great new spiritual teacher because of that. She teaches acceptance and also sacred neutrality.

It's been almost a year now with her teachings and me finally accepting that not everyone can see what I see when I look at Vessel.

There will always be humans out there who call all of this an assumption. To them he did not self-harm and does not have scars from a certain attempt. To them that's an assumption while for me it's a fact.

Those fans are not worse then me and I'm not better then them. I can accept that they just have a different view on everything.

It's the same with lore interpretations or the way that some treat them in a (your words) dehumanizing way.

I can accept all that I just don't read it or interact with them. I let them have their view on things and I have my weird view on things.

I argued with fans that said things like: I don't even like their music or listen to their music but....

They are a thing, too btw.

When it comes to Sleep btw. To me it's an entity. They are very real btw. I learned how to deal with them, too. But I can totally understand that many humans out there just don't get topics like entities or idk...I mean I saw fairy-like beings right in front of me one day. 99% of humans would probably just say that I just made this up. I can understand that or rather I learned how to accept that.

When I first heard about Sleep I thought about that day and the fairies. I just thought...maybe that guy is a bit weird like me?!

We all had different experiences that shaped us. And also some fans really are just 14.

One of the reasons why I left the big Discord for example was because they allow all ages. I had an argument with a nine year old! That's when my alarm bells came online and I thought to myself: no...not okay! Some fans act a certain way because they are actual kids.

Like I said....I found a place within me to accept all that.

But it took a lot of facing myself to find that acceptance. And it's a process that is on-going.

Maybe this helps you...maybe not....maybe it clarifies something...maybe not.

I'm learning everything from her btw. It's energy work....energy work means you work with your soul, your higher self, higher dimensional beings....all theses things.

One thing that I forgot....accepting something and agreeing with it is not the same thing. I can totally disagree but still accept that something.

Okay, so, I said I was working on Pokemon Scarlet / Violet fanfic and that's still kiiiinda true? But for the most part the past few months I've instead been working on...

HamOfJustice's League Club Expansion Pack

... which is a text-file-based imaginary mod of the game (but a blueprint for a real one if someone is able to make it, I guess) that massively expands the DLC postgame to include like a hundred things for characters to talk about, adds new friendship storylines, expands their team rosters and battle AIs, and lets them follow you anywhere in the world, making it not really a League Club thing at all except in spirit.

I'm aiming to do the following:

1. Give the players the living-happily-ever-after postgame that they deserve, and that Pokemon SV basegame really seemed like it was leading up to after Area Zero and all those friendship strengthening storylines

2. Prove I know this gamedev thing isn't easy and do all the work myself to see how viable it really could've been for SV and Pokemon games in general to have more meat on its bones, inspired by what we did get from it so far. I'm not asking for much of anything that requires new models, code, or animations, just text, menus, and repurposed features. Even the AI is pseudocoded by myself

3. Live up to the characters' potential more and leave less up to speculation and fanfic to really explore, explain, heal, capitalize on, and have fun with (okay, this is basically fanfic formatted as a fake datamine, but still) while still being consistent with the tone of the game and leaving plenty of subtext and small details to have fun discussing with other readers rather than stating everything outright

Basically, I wanted this so bad I just did it myself instead of complaining some more, and I want everyone who feels the same way to get to have that experience through me. I've been steadily working on this thing for months (the scope got a little out of hand as you can imagine) and I'm pretty close to releasing Nemona's files, which are the parts I'm most passionate about, but I'm hoping to keep at it after that if I can (Nemona, Penny, Arven, and maybe Kieran and Carmine, at least)

Reviews from people who've seen early previews of my project on Twitter or in DMs:

"You legitimately know more about [Nemona and Penny] than Game Freak, there's really no question about that at this point"

"OH MY GOD IM OBSESSED WITH THIS. it amazes me all the time how your characterisation and voice is PERFECT"

"Holy shit this is so cute... This dialogue is stellar"

"Oh wait this is ur fanmade dialogue? DAMN I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL"

"Goddamn, you went HARD. Congrats on writing more and better story in one day than was put into the DLC"

"AKJCJAJFHQBXBXB nemonas dialogue is so perfect like its EXACTLY her 😭😭😭😭 so is everyone's like Penny's too??? you must be some kind of secret game freak writer…. THIS IS AMAZING 💓💓💓💓💓💓"

There's a big ol' batch of old and new samples I've picked out for you today under the cut if you wanna look. Either way, expect the Nemona part of the actual project to be posted for real soon-ish and her friends one at a time after that, once I get past a bit of writer's block on one part and stop trying to make the angsty cathartic bits perfect

Why I ship Bucklena, and I hope the Thunderbolts movie pairs them together

https://twitter.com/Gothamette/status/1488939466852945923

Link to the fanmade trailer this screenshot is pulled from here. 

Okay, so I’ll start off by saying this - if the execs at Marvel Studios have the cojones to make Yelena asexual/aroace, like she is in the comics (at least from what I’ve seen online, haven’t read all of the comics so I can’t speak to how canon this is), I am 100% on board, and give the studio a lot of credit for showcasing asexual representation in a *huge* property.

However, as this twitter thread delineates way more eloquently than I could ever hope to, there is a very good chance that either Yelena’s sexuality will not be addressed at all in the Thunderbolts movie, or they’ll pair her in a heterosexual relationship - in which case, if it’s the latter, Bucky Barnes is the obvious (and, imho, only) choice. But before I say anything else, I just wanted to get that out of the way - I am all for asexual representation in Marvel properties, and genuinely, if Yelena being asexual is explicitly made canon in the MCU, I’m on board. *Editing to add, because this was an oversight on my part ~ if Yelena is confirmed as lesbian/bisexual, and the writers decide to pair her with a woman (like, say, Kate Bishop or Wanda Maximoff), I’d support that as well. FOR THE RECORD*

But until that happens ~ Yelena Belova and Bucky Barnes are the best potential pairing in the MCU, imho, possibly ever.

In case you’re new here + haven’t been spammed by the Bucklena fanfiction writing kick I’ve been on these last couple of months - hi, I’m your resident 27-year-old fanfic writer, and I’ve written fanfic for over half of my lifetime, for just about every fandom you can think of. I generally veer towards pairings that are canon-adjacent (not quite crackships, *could* feasibly be made canon, but it likely isn’t gonna happen), and in the MCU have shipped ScarletStrange, Romanogers, Kate Bishop x Peter Parker, etc. Given that Bucky and Yelena are about to be in a movie together, and not currently engaged in existing romantic relationship - of the list of pairings I’ve outlined above, they’re the most likely to wind up having some sort of romantic relationship. And I’mma tell you why I’d be excited to see that happen.

#1) They have similar backgrounds, and can relate easily to one another

This one is fairly self-explanatory - their stories have obvious parallels. Both were brainwashed by Russian organizations, turned into assassins against their will, and defected/escaped later on in life. While Bucky has displayed clear signs of PTSD, from what we’ve seen, Yelena is a little tougher to read/more stoic, however this could be a front - regardless, their respective ways of dealing with their past traumas could be an interesting dynamic to explore in the Thunderbolts movie, particularly since of the two of them, Bucky is going to take on more of a “Team Leader” role, if you will. Maybe part of Bucky’s job is going to be to get Yelena to open up? Whatever it is, I’m game.

#2) While they have a hard exterior, both are not-so-secret softies, and are sentimental when it comes to their found families

Case in point: Yelena’s reaction to Alexei calling their family unit back in Ohio “fake,” and Bucky’s reaction to Sam giving up Cap’s shield in Falcon + The Winter Soldier. They’ve both lost so much (their biological families, friends, years of their lives to evil organizations, etc.), and neither of them have much of a support system + family unit. And while that alone shouldn’t be the basis of a relationship, the way they view their “found families,” and the respect they both have for it - Bucky with Steve, and Yelena with Melina, Alexei and Natasha - shows they have similar values, and want the same things, even if they don’t state it explicitly.

#3) Yelena is effortlessly charismatic, and Bucky - while a bit out of practice - can be quite charming, too

Look no further than Yelena’s scenes with Kate Bishop in Hawkeye, and Bucky in just about all of the first Captain America movie - Yelena isn’t necessarily flirty, per se, but she has a natural charisma that radiates in her conversations. And Bucky, while definitely rusty and in need of some of some practice, is a complete flirt when he’s interested in someone, which could make for some entertaining banter + chemistry between the two. 

And, finally ~

#4) They both deserve love + happiness, probably more than any two characters in the MCU

This is another one, imho, that’s pretty self explanatory - Bucky and Yelena have both been through A LOT. They’ve both lost people, spent years of their lives brainwashed, and somehow, they’re still standing - and beyond that, they still live by a moral code, and aren’t villains/didn’t allow their traumas to make them evil. They deserve some happiness, and if it’s as a romantic relationship, awesome.

A new wind is blowing through the land…

Sweeping through the grasslands and forests of Ponyland, where all are said to be welcome…

Rippling the upper waters far above the Undersea, home of the sea ponies and the ancient ones who dwell even deeper…

Calmly rustling the leaves of the Butterfly Archipelago’s many palm trees, breathing new air beneath the wings of the native pegasi…

Spreading pollen to each and every flower in Breezie Blossom, where the small but mighty make their homes…

Moving further still, through the less populated parts, the icy wastes and the long-dormant volcanoes…

Touching the tips of the spires in Tambelon, the city rumored to hold as many villains as it can fit…

The wind does not reach the Jewel Caverns.  How can it?  To the ponies enslaved underground, those who had even their eyes taken and replaced with gems, wind is a distant memory, or even a story of the old times.  Even so, if they close their eyes and listen, really listen, they might just hear the wind near the cave entrance so far up.

Now the wind blows through the mountains of Unicornia, the homeland of the Rainbow’s traditional guardians and custodians.  Here it is that a ceremony will end in disaster, causing a chain of events that will change this world forever — hopefully for the better.

Firefly, Silver Swirl, Minty, Wind Whistler, Sweetie Belle, Bright Eyes…

When the six heroes meet in the backwater Ponyland town of Ponyville, the legend will truly begin.

Welcome to a world where the old is spun fresh alongside the new.

Welcome to Gen 6.

Hi!  This blog is my attempt at a fanmade MLP G6, and it will include all sorts of things, such as notes on the setting, character spotlights, story arc ideas, and more!  I also plan on bringing the characters to life with commissioned art.  I already have somebody in mind for the ponies, but if anyone knows someone who could make an MLP-style map, please do tell me.  I hope to write the main story as a fanfic one day, if my writing schedule allows it.

I’d also really appreciate some asks to help me flesh things out, so if you have any questions about the ponies or the world, please do ask.

In fact, I think I’ll do a poll about which region I should post about first!  If I don’t get any votes, I’ll just do Ponyland first, but I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Update: it came to that :(

[dualcomplexity]

What Is Dual Complexity?

Dual Complexity started as a fanfic tribute to the Fanmade Splatoon 3 by Squeaky, long before the official game was announced. It was originally under the name Operation: Protect Inkopolis, OP:PI for short, following the New Squidbeak Splatoon who just recruited the protagonists of said game. It never really had an overarching plot line and essentially worked as a “villain of the week” adventure.

At the time, I hadn’t played any of the Splatoon games but loved the story. That being said, there were multiple inconsistencies with the game mechanics that I intentionally made to make the characters look cool. Quickly, I got into writer’s block and wouldn’t update it for a couple of years, willing to leave it in my junk drawer of imaginations

Then Splatoon 3 was announced.

Once I saw the direct, I looked back to my old creation. And thus started a HEAVY revamp of the series.

First, the plan was to add Neo Agent 3 to the group as it was in the old fic, under the placeholder Squidbeak: Path of A Hero. This version would finally establish Neo Agent 3 as the protagonist, but the rework quickly turned sour. As the Project Splatoon 3 characters were the most affected, I made the choice detach the story from the project, in favor of making it more of my own thing.

One thing led to another, and I looked back at the placeholder title based on the Squidbeak pledge: the path of a hero is a lonely one.

But what if the hero wasn’t as lonely?

And Dual Complexity was born.

This story would have three new characters that Neo Agent 3 (Sanne) had affected when she fell into Alterna, along with a multitude of issues that are affected by her choosing to stay in the New Squidbeak Splatoon while still having an established life on the surface.

Her decision will cause consequences for both sides of her life, leading to a myriad of events that would warp the priority of her friends and her job.

And there will be villains. Lots and Lots of villains…

The fanfic has already started its first arc, Refreshed Reunion, and it’s currently on AO3. If you’re interested, please, give it a read. I wouldn’t want anything more. Thank you.

[scareyedcharizard16]

Well. It happened. I finally decided to make a side blog where I put all of my stories, fanfic drawings and other various nonsense that I've held onto for over 2 decades. These stories, and in particular, my OCs, are extremely personal too me and as much as I always wanted to share them with the world, I never had the courage to do it.

Between having zero confidence and severe OCD I never have actually completed any story or goal before. However I've seen a lot of art blogs on tumblr that share their incomplete works as well as completed without judgement so I'm hoping mine will be half as well received.

The blog is called This Is Me. (thisisme16) I don't know how to link it, sorry. I called it that because these stories and characters are a big part of myself that no one has ever really seen before. Hence.

What can you expect from the blog?

- Tons of stories in various states of completion depending on how strong my hyperfixation on it at the time is.

- Some drawings. I am trying to learn to draw because I think it would be awesome to make fanmade comics some day.

- Some OCs mixed with characters from various Fandoms. As well as a semi-self insert character. I've been self inserting into stories all my life, and my self- insert character is so intergrated into the other OCs lives at this point that I simply can't imagine one without the other. If that's not your cup of tea, by all means you don't have to view the blog. But to the rest of you, please try to keep an open mind. These OCs were basically my only friends growing up and even now.

- Fandoms that I am into include but not limited to; Pokemon, Digimon, Legend of Zelda, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Yu-gi-oh, Sailor Moon, Avatar the Last Airbender, Once Upon a Time, old school MCU, BBC Sherlock, some Fire Emblem.

This is extremely scary for me, but partly exciting too. I need to shake up my life and stop hiding in my shell. Maybe no one will even look at this blog, but regardless I want to do it anyway.

I want to thank the tumblr community for being the weird and wonderful mess of neurodivergence that I can feel safe enough to take such a big step in. Fingers crossed that my courage will continue to hold out and I can share some hopefully fun and interesting things.

Take care and keep living your best lives!

Love scareyedcharizard!

[musicaleaves]

Welcome guys, I’m LoveGiroke, What is this page

this is a page all about the upcoming Fanfic of the 4 leaves, a fanmade sequel to or3os clover

Stuff to point out

This fanfic will include the canon characters +some ocs that I made

there are 2 realms in the clover verse, the living and spirit world (the verses themselves are pretty self explanatory) only Kel can travel through both worlds (Bv+ +h£r£’s @ n0+h£r)

your ocs are NOT in the fanfic, they would only be added if you know me irl (where you most likely don’t)

it will cover some topics that may not be suitable for younger audiences, not that It’s inappropriate or NSFW but a little uncomfortable

if you don’t like where this is going or just not interested, don’t read it, I don’t want people to rant about how bad it is just because something occurs that they themselves don’t like

Age demographic. 10-14 or older

ABSOLUTELY, NO SELF INSERTS OR ANY OCS BASED OF REAL PEOPLE. so basically if I were to be in the story (which I might), I’ll be a background character with little to no real impact to the story.

this is NOT a ship based fanfic, there will be some ships(georgexbrenda, davexsusie, and others with ocs) but not the main focus

Fanfic will be done soon

feel free to ask questions in my ask blog

anyways, here’s my main blog

Wattpad page

[beautifully-lumpy]

introducing my new AU...bricks and border!

back in april, jetpackbraggin's thumbnail image for caddicarus' resident evil 4 remake stream series sparked something in me - i started developing an idea for a cartoon series about the personas of online reviewers living in a large city. this idea eventually evolved into bricks and border!

bricks and border follows the escapades of the nintendo-obsessed scott (the woz) - an ambitious guy from the midwest who just so happens to be the younger cousin of the hot-headed mayor, and "laz" (caddicarus) - a brit with a mysterious past who is only known by his nickname. together they solve mysteries and get into other shenanigans in their city of oaksport. nothing is off limits!

this is basically a love letter to the entire comedic review genre on youtube. i'm super excited to start working on this!!

more info about the world and its wacky cast of characters will be revealed soon, but first we need to get into some format/release/disclaimer talk...(some of it's pretty important!)

this project will be written in prose format. i'm still deciding whether it will be in first person with the chapters alternating between scott's and laz's viewpoints, or just in third person. i know first person is looked down upon in fanfic, but that's just what my mind immediately goes to because they're youtubers who review things, and it's easy to imagine them narrating their points of view. i'm still deciding that though.

i will draw a lot for it as it's meant to be imagined as a cartoon series - and just like my previous major fandom project (onward the fanmade series), i will be drawing stills to accompany each chapter/episode! and i will gladly negotiate with any lumpy germ or wozzer who would like to contribute a guest still! and yes - you absolutely CAN create fanart/edits/etc. based on this AU! i would love to see them!

the big differences between this and OTFS are that B&B will not be contained in one book/AO3 work. OTFS episodes were written in script format, and episodes were released as one whole chapter. however, for B&B, "episodes" will be separate stories that could range from 3 chapters to 15.

as to when the first story will come out? i can say maybe soon, but i can't say the exact date and time. i'm gonna be a bit easier on myself with this one - as in, i won't be busting my ass to get a chapter out every single week. not only will i not be able to accomplish that with both my summer job consistently exhausting me and my senior year of college on the horizon, but i also don't want to burn myself out and not want to produce anymore content for the project. that's how the original caddicarus show died.

also, just a little disclaimer - this is not RPF. these are heavily fictionalized versions of the youtubers' already exaggerated personas - i mean for god's sake, B&B!scott is the younger cousin of B&B!AVGN, who is the mayor of the fictional city oaksport. lore from scott's and caddy's shows is referenced, and private people in their lives are absolutely not included in this (for example, cerys and the kids will not be mentioned). however, caddy's sister may be included, as she's a public figure.

with all that being said, i'm doing this as responsibly and cautiously as i possibly can - trust me, i previously wrote realistic non-AU caddicarus RPF and i almost got in trouble for it in 2017 when i was a stupid 15 year old who didn't know better. i know the harm RPF can do, which is why this is strictly being labeled as an AU. also i'm just gonna go ahead and say i won't be shipping characters in this. even though they're fictionalized AU versions of the youtubers, i feel uncomfortable shipping them. if you would like to create your own fan content of this AU where you ship the characters, i can't stop you. but i'm not gonna make it canon or anything.

that's pretty much all i have to say, i think. i hope that the caddicarus and scott the woz fans of tumblr will take interest in this!

[itlivesproject]

Thanks for giving us such a great gift, this game 😍😍😍 We love it!!!

Also, you showed us that the old Choices fandom is still a bit alive and not dead because I discover so many ItLivesWithin readers from blogs which don't look like a Choices blog. Cool to see so many of us only because of your game. Great work, can't wait to play after my studies are over. I think I will love it sooooo much because you put so much work, effort and heart in this project (which I sadly can't see in the newer choices books anymore. Old times were the best.)

Because the itlivesproject there now ItLives fanfics, ItLives art, but also other fanmade game project sequels like Nightbound, Distant Shores, Bloodbound and Immortal Desires.

thank YOU 🥰🥰🥰 it's been a joy to actively contribute to this fandom, and we're just glad we were able to make others happy with this story.

[theoriginofoghond]

First things first: the origins.

On the original version of my first fanfic I ever made, and why I decided to redo it 8 years later. So. Context. Pokemon Opal and Garnet (2016) is the first fanfiction I ever made. It's technically a crossover fanregion fic set in a region created by me with Pokemon created by me, but I use "crossover" extremely, extremely lightly. Technically, it was entirely new, but 5 of the main mons were named after (and of those 5, 4 were based in part on) characters from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is my all-time favorite Disney movie if not my favorite movie period. Given that it was my first ever fanfic, it is a mess. It is rough around the edges, and by god it shows. Among the many things in the first fanfic I ever wrote: HOND references like crazy, blatant Element of Harmony expies in the form of the 14 virtues (more on them later), a blatant Trump allegory, my first time writing a court scene, and a French anthem performance straight out of Casablanca. This was back in the Cringe Old Days (TM) of 2016 when the word "subtlety" was not in my writing vocabulary, when I did not know what "character arcs and development" were, and when I genuinely believed that fanfic sites would automatically send their copyright bots out to companies so that they could sue you out of your minds if you dared put non-public-domain song lyrics into your fic. After a while I stopped updating the fic out of boredom, writer's block, and distraction due to a bunch of other things entering my brain (oh hi, something called the "Dutch language"! Oh hi, fanmade musicals!). But the original fic still exists today and can be found. I plan to one day delete my fanfic.net account, though, and with it all the original stories, but you needn't worry-- the original Opal and Garnet can still be found on Lake Valor; all 20 chapters of it. After that, life went by. I joined We Are All Pokemon Trainers, where I met people who are numerous friends of mine, and, more importantly, learned how to actually create character arcs, developments, lore, and backstories. It was an incredible experience for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. I went to college and graduated; I had an extremely long period of health anxiety... and in my last year of college, in 2024, I decided to look over my first ever fanfic and figure out what worked and what didn't. Two things from the fanfic-- the PokeLatin language and Orwell the Newspeak-speaking Crawdaunt-- made their way into WAAPT, albeit the PokeLatin language became the Poipolian dialect of UBese and had tons of tweaks done to it. This was also the year after the Disney company celebrated their 100th anniversary. And given that, the fact that many HOND references were made in the original fic, and the fact that TV Tropes erroneously labeled it a crossover because of those references, I ended up deciding "screw it, I am leaning into the Disney angle and I am leaning into it hard". Cue the creation of the Gisnep company (I'm not kidding, that's actually what it's called) and by extension, the Gisnepverse, which consists of Opal and Garnet (2024) and the WAAPT continuums. (I retired from WAAPT and branched each of my characters off into their own seperate stories.) The next post I make will delve into the lore surrounding the Gisnep company and its differences from its real-world analogue.

Yesterday I finished watching the entire series of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Watching the finale made me so emotional and I still feel so emotional. This show was so special that it is by far my favorite cartoon. Even more than the 80s Alvin and the Chipmunks series which is my second favorite (rip blockbusters).

When the very first episode of Mlp came out I was an either 3rd or 4th grade and I remember being 10 and my parents telling me, "Aren't you a little too old for My Little Pony?". And looking back, that is hilarious that they asked that. The show was so damn good that an adult fanbase had developed sometime around 2010 or 2011. And man I have so many nostalgic memories of the fandom in the early 2010s, being on websites like youtube, discovering tumblr and deviantart (through 2011-2012 tumblr was a little scary as an 11 year old kid who just wanted to see cool fanart. People made remixes of songs from the show on youtube, there were fanmade songs, fan animations, episode reviewers, it really was a golden era for the fandom. Come to think of it, I think the mlp fandom is what introduced me to fanfiction. That's crazy! First I was reading fanfics on deviantart then I switched over to reading stuff on fanfiction.net. There were also fanmade games on this websites called Equestria Gaming, including horror games. Speaking of horror games, there were mlp creepypastas like Story of the Blanks, Rainbow Factory, and Cupcakes.

Towards the mid-2010s, around 2016, I was in high school and became less interested in mlp and more into Star vs the Forces of Evil and the anime Yuri On Ice. The mlp series itself ended when I was a freshman in college but I didn't get back into watching the show until very recently. Am I sad that the show is over? Yes. But I am also glad that the show ended on such a high note. I mean, a cartoon show originally made for kids ran from 2010 to 2019, the entire decade. That is insane. The only kids cartoon I can think of that had that long of a successful run is Alvin and the Chipmunks which ran from 1983 to 1990, and that's still shorter than mlp Fim (technically Arthur was one of the longest running kids cartoon but the show wasn't as good by the mid 2000s/2010s).

Alright, enough of me rambling and being nostalgic, but damn mlp was such a good show and it did make history.

Hope this doesnt come of sounding the wrong way, but have you ever written/drawn an fully original story/world, and if not, do you ever want to, or are you satisfied with just doing fanfics and fanart for the forseable future?

I do have original projects!

I'm currently working on a visual novel called Villain Reform School.

I haven't talked about it much recently, because I don't know when chapter 1 will be fully completed. We're getting really close, but there's still a lot to do. I work full time outside of this and the team I can afford is a lead programmer and my brother on editing.

(I'm the author, artist, audio director, and secondary programmer on it. So there's a lot of hats I've been cycling through.) Having watched games crash under the wieght of doing that and maintaining a media presense, I decided to focus on making it first and promoting it once it's out.

The first pass at the demo is up on itch.io https://worldismyne.itch.io/mccarthy-academy-demo

Here's some current CGs of the lead character Nagen.

You play as a teen super villain that failed to take over the city and has to go to school with all the kids he brainwashed during his master plan and his old squad.

Fanfiction and fanart is a nice creative break for me. The hardest part of a project like this is I have black and white thinking when it comes to progress on it (either it's done or it's not). Where as fics and art I can post in stages and get instant feedback on.

I have an interest in writing original novels, but finding a literary audience is difficult for someone like me, who sucks at networking and works nights. I am working on an original story atm, but I don't have the first chapter finished yet. Right now it's just a for fun thing. (It's going to be about a witch princess/trainee trying to teach a boy how to be a witch just to prove she can. It ends badly.)

Warrior U Fanmade is a project I'm also working on. It is a fancomic, but I have the creator's permission to distribute anything I make with Warrior U so long as I properly credit her. (She's moved onto different projects) It's a fan continuation of the orginal comic, but I tried to write it in a way that anyone jumping in at this point will have an easy time getting into it.

Changeling acts a stand alone fantasy story about Finn meeting the rich family that disowned his mother for using magic.

I have a collaborator who helped a bunch with the first issue, and our physicial copies are set to be available online next week!

I've been working on this at the same time as other fandom stuff so it updates online weekly. I learned a lot from this issue and have gone from just writing and illustrating to figuring out the storyboard and paneling side of things.

Idk if I'd ever want to do an original comic. My love for complicated character designs demands the VN format.

I have a couple VN ideas, but Villain Reform School is the one I wanted to have the most creative control over. It's also a meaty project. Prologue and Chapter 1 are around 90 k together and there's supposed to be 5 in total. Some of the major mechanics I want haven't been 100% ironed out yet. And I need to get player feedback on certain story elements first before I commit to writing another 180k of a playstyle we might have to rework or cut.

My Favourite Poem is Supernatural Fanfic

It’s my favourite poem and it’s fanfiction. I didn’t know that when I read it, although it was all over Tumblr in so many fandom spaces telling a different story every time. It’s a poem about family, about heartache, about watching someone you love turn into someone you can’t, and it’s something that’s beautiful, that’s evocative, that’s brilliant and can come from something that has come before, seen by the masses as something less than. 

So, I realise, I’ve been lied too. Everything comes from something else, but I’ve learned that if you say you like that, then it’s cringe, it’s immature, it’s bad. But, when I read ‘Star Here’ by Caitlyn Siehl, a poem about Sam and Dean Winchester, I felt like I was standing amongst a coliseum, so enriched in a Tumblr post that the world around had contorted itself into the Louvre and no one had bothered to tell me. If that is what fan fiction can do, if that is what it is, then I want to turn time backwards, I want to watch the world break its own neck when it discovers the reason why. I want to find my thirteen-year-old self of a girl and tell her that beautiful things come from other things and those things come from worse things or better things or awful things or glorious things, and you have to start somewhere, so why not here? 

I think about this poem the way so-called distinguished, sophisticate, never-been-a-thirteen-year-old-girl people think about the Mona Lisa, and I want to ask them to tell me what is art and what is not, what makes it bad and what makes it not, what makes it worthy enough for an international Gallery, and what makes it worth for someone’s blog on the internet on a site that you’re embarrassed to admit you’re using? It would be impossible to compare something of avant-grade prestige to that of a fanmade poem, but maybe, maybe I could try. Maybe I could tell the world that this fucking poem about monsters and brothers and religion and catacombs is my masterpiece, my Lisa. 

I’m not mad that no one else will see it that way, but I am mad that that thirteen-year-old girl was told that it shouldn’t.

(Cross posted from my other socials)

Finished week one of college and broke as a joke, so as compensation here's some stuff I've had in the back of my head that I'm thinking of writing at some point when I'm done with my other many...many projects that I've been neglecting.

- Persona x Danganronpa au - an au made by @/shsl-shipper-gamer-fangirl on Tumblr where Danganronpa characters are in the persona universe. (I discovered it a long time ago and am on a persona kick after watching an analysis video.)

-Edit old fanfics maybe consider deleting a few from when I was young and unaware of the importance of basic education.

-Change some things around in my stories such as my fanmade p6 so they make more sense to the characters.

-Fugou Keiji (aka the millionaire detective): Balance Unlimited x Persona au

-Dangan persona au (in which the characters in persona are in the Danganronpa universe.)

- Danganronpa x RWBY au revival because it's been awhile.

-Jjba x RWBY au revival because it's been a LONG while

-JJBA x Persona au in which jjba characters have personas (which in general doesn't make much of a difference.)

-Lore for my og series Kore (remember Jordyn? neither do I.)

-Work on the outline of my now deleted Fangan (I just didn't think it through that much when I first posted.)

-Actually make outlines for things.

This isn't a promise that these things will come soon but they are things I am really interested in doing at some point and am interested in talking to other people about.

What happens one day when the yashahime girls stumble upon SessKag fanfics.

Towa scrolling through her newest model of apple iphones: So, have you guys like read those fanfictions on the internet?

Moroha leans forward to stare at the screen : What are you talking about?

Setsuna scrolling her apple ipad: Oh, are you talking about the SessKag fanfictions?

Towa looks at Setsuna shocked: Wait...did you go through my history again?

Setsuna smirks: Ya...guilty as charged! But, I got a look at the fandom...and...

Towa moves towards Setsuna with an eager face: So, what do you think of them?

Setsuna blushes: I must say...it has an appeal to it!

Moroha scratching her head: What are ya guys goin on bout? Fannfi...what? And what the hell is this SessKag?

Towa moves towards Moroha with sparkling eyes and shows her the fanfiction page: This...this...look at this! This is a fantiction page dedicated to your mom and our dad. Fml!! They are so adorable! I am in love.

Moroha snatches away the phone and reads a fanfiction

Kagome pops her head out from the shrine door: What are you girls doing?

The trio shake their heads, hiding their respective gadgets from Kagome's field of vision.

Kagome narrows her eyes in suspicion: You lot are too young to start this teenage melodrama with me. Show me what you are hiding and it better not be porn!

Setsuna gulps and speedily changes her webpage from a MA rated fanfiction to a K+ one.

Kagome snatches the gadgets away from the girls and scrolls through their history and her eyes widen gradually as she turns the pages over.

Kagome wiggles her finger disapprovingly: What is this? You girls have been reading these for the last two months! No wonder your grades have been so poor.

Towa, Setsuna and Moroha lower their heads and stare at each with identical smirks.

Sesshomaru climbs the shrine steps, fitted in an armani: I commissioned those stories back in the ages. It was a way for me to propose to your mother.

The trio stare at Sesshomaru with identical expressions of confusion.

Sesshomaru asks them perplexed: What, don't tell me you never knew that Kagome was your mom?

The trio suck a deep breathe in stuck between raving hard in fangirl mode and thinking seriously about their parentage.

Inuyasha meanwhile jumps out of the old well and rubs Moroha's head: Hey, puppy! What is that expression about?

Moroha stares at Inu in deep shock: Dad, did you know about the... SessKag pairing?

Inu scratches his head for a while: Oh, yeah! I got hold of some of them back in the past when Sesshomaru was donating his gold out to some skilled prose composers.

Moroha with a lost expression: You were okay with their relation?

Inu with a big smile on his face: Ya. To tell ya the truth, I was against them in the beginning and then one day Sesshomaru threw a bound scroll on my lap. I read that for days and nights and then got so addicted that I had to ask him to give me some more. Before I knew, I had madly fallen in love with the pairing. Actually, I was the one to set them up for their first date. They were truly the best when paired up!

Towa and Setsuna listen carefully and then ask Sesshomaru in a conflicted tone: So, umm...Dad? So, how did we...umm...happen?

Sesshomaru stares at them seriously: You mean, you did not realise even after going through those 1000 MA rated fanfictions?

Kagome burns red in embarrasement and slaps Sesshomaru's arm: Sesshomaru! Not in front of the kids!

Meanwhile on the other side of the shrine, Inuyasha and Moroha seriously discuss about their most favourite SessKag fanfiction. They are joined later by Towa and Setsuna who are also in tough fangirl mode. Collectively they decide to set aside pocket money for a SessKag shrine of their own.

Sesshomaru smirks and draws Kagome near: Told you, those stories are worth a million. Anything to keep you close!

The scene fades out with some suggestive sounds of SessKag making out which is followed by him dragging her into the shrine.

Moral of this story: Towa is SessKag, Setsuna is SessKag, Moroha is SessKag and even Inuyasha is SessKag.

😂😂😂

Lol...made this shit up early today. No flames please!! It was just a silly fanmade!
