Hola gente ha pasado años desde que toque mi cuenta de Tumblr jajaja aquí les dejo dibujitos

[envymaykingstuff]

this is entirely possibly the stupidest thing i have ever done

[such-familiar-distance]

I think I may have hallucinated that you had a side piece about the Mayke/Antony/Apollonia relationship, but I figured I should ask if I just can't find it or if it actually doesn't exist instead of just scratching my head in frustration! :) Have you written anything for them? If not, would you ever?

I've had it on my to-do list forever and I've talked about it on here but I haven't actually written it! I've got about 200 words written of Antony crying and Mayke hating him and that's about it lmao. I wanted it to be a relatively fluffy threesome but I keep getting stuck in them being a hot mess in their early relationship

All multiples of 3 😘 (just kidding) ((unless you're extremely bored))

Oh no you didn't! (not extremly, but i'll amuse you) (I skip the x5's)

3. what is your favorite season (or seasons)? why?

Each season has it's own neat things. I like winter, with snow, and ice, warm sweaters, holiday season, warm fire place. I like autumn, for the trees showing off their nicest colours, the storms raging to remind you that a human is a small thing. I like spring for the world to come a live, flowers, insects, birds, people. I like summer for the long evenings launching around.

6. what is a specific romantic thing you have experienced?

N/A

9. what is a clothing item that you want?

Hmm, I sometimes think I should get a new uniform, but the company I'm (currently) with doesn't use them, so that's maybe a bit useless. (I should've said naval sabre/cutlass at the trinket question in the previous ask I think now :P ) But a real cloak would be cool too.

12. what is something you’ve struggled a lot with?

Talking about stuff I struggle with.

18. favorite feature on another person?

Their humour

21. favorite animal(s)?

They're all cool! But orca's are just better.

24. favorite word? any language.

Is picking Gezellig to overdone by now?

27. favorite planet?

EARTH! It's the only one we can live on, and we can never afford to give up on it!

33. what compliments do you love to hear?

I'm a human male, we get compliments once every 15 years. They all matter. pay attention question designer, or haven't you been on tumblr that long?

36. what piercings do you want to get?

None.

39. do you play any instruments?

Nope, i'm not musically inclined.

42. chocolate or white chocolate?

Isn't white chocolate also chocolate? But I like dark chocolate, better. With hazelnuts if I can choose.

48. lamps or overhead lighting?

Lamps

[poem-of-the-week-challenge]

MAYke Your Own Rules May!

Come join our weekly poetry form challenge on this discord server! The event running right now is MAYke Your Own Rules May!

AKA: For the month of May, you create and submit the poetry forms (the "rules") you want us to create to, in ⁠the "#mayke-your-own-rules-forms" channel of the discord server! Pick and choose from the "toolbox" we have explored in the past 16 forms (masterlist here, for all of you who want to play catch-up), and anything else you can think of.

(This kind of poetry is also known as nonce poetry... but since "nonce" can also have… unpleasant associations (and I didn't want to wait til November), I chose to MAYke it May lol 😄 )

I'm curious what forms you come up with, how you're going to name them, and what you create for them!

And, as always, feel free to leave questions in ⁠the "#poetry-discussions" channel of the server or as asks on this blog!

Have fun!

Your mod,

Serena (@serenaew)

All These Red Flags 🚩

Song about seeing red flags in a narcissistic relationship but you’re too obsessed with them to really understand what you’re seeing:

All these red flags How you got me so blind

I thought I loved you but you wore a false face No you weren’t true My heart was all over the place

Hoping you were the one You using me for just fun Can’t change the past it’s done I found myself on the run

Running from the pain numbing my brain I’ve been going insane Trying to explain

All these red flags How you got me so blind I wanted you so bad you took over my mind All these red flags 🚩

reminded me of a certain something so i doodled it

An agate stone that looks like a window to the ocean.

[envymaykingstuff]

i tried this little drawing of kendal and vash (and kendal twice*) from aurora a fair while back based on something a couple people said about their outfits potentially being cool with a blue sash

* if we count it**

** meaning the sword

Character names:

For Marcus/Kallius it's kind of a grab bag of world building. Marcus and Julius I picked to be kind of average and unremarkable because they're just two dudes.

A lot of the other names I get from this list of Greek men's names https://tekeli.li/onomastikon/Ancient-World/Greece/Male.html or women's names https://tekeli.li/onomastikon/Ancient-World/Greece/Female.html. Usually I pick a name for a new character just based on giving them a letter or sound that another character doesn't have. Kal was a hard one to pick a name for because I wanted him to have a name that sort of fit with the sounds of the Latin/Roman upper class characters, but that wasn't clearly Latin/Roman, so he didn't have a name for a while until I found a baby name site that said Kallius meant pretty haha. Marcus and Kallius I wanted one to have a hard start and the other a round/soft start but then the opposite for the middle, which sort of informed their characters.

The other helot characters like Mayke, Teunis, Joost, Lodewyck and Jacomin have names from 17th/18th century Dutch to indicate an ethic difference. Teunis I wanted to have something that sounded sort of Latin/Roman but like Kal have something that wasn't quite a right fit, but in the opposite direction. Cyril and Kal have Greek names instead of Dutch to point to that they didn't grow up with their families. Apollonia is actually a historic Dutch name also but I thought it fit with Octavia and Marcus.
