A/n: i dont think there's any new Mouthwash x reader fanfictions... Like every time i would visit the tag its just the same fic- so here!!! PLS FEED ME MORE MOUTHWASH FIC I CANT BREATHE PROPERLY WITHOUT IT.

A/n: So, what if fem!reader just hugs the crew behind 'em?

Warnings: nuh uh

Captain Curly

Captain Curly is in the cockspit, hunched over the controls, he doesn't know what to do. His jaw is tight, and the tension in his shoulders speaks volumes.

Quietly, you step closer and wrap your arms around him from behind.

He freezes, his entire body stiff as a board. “What... are you doing?” His tone is gruff, but there’s a hint of uncertainty beneath it.

“It looked like you needed this,” you reply softly, resting your cheek against his back.

He lets out a long sigh, the kind that carries weeks of stress. “You’re a strange one, you know that?” Despite his words, he doesn’t push you away. Instead, he allows himself to relax, just a little... Everything can wait.

For a moment, he says nothing, his gaze fixed on the console in front of him. The hum of the ship fills the silence, and you wonder if you’ve overstepped?

“You know, Captain…” you murmur, your cheek pressed lightly against his back. “You’re really doing a great job looking for the crew... but you barely take care of yourself.”

He exhales sharply, the sound caught somewhere between a sigh and a scoff. “I don’t have the luxury of thinking about myself,” he replies, his voice low and gruff. “Not when everyone is depending on me.”

Your arms tighten slightly around his waist, a small gesture of reassurance. “That’s exactly why you need to. If you fall apart, who’s going to keep things running? The crew needs you, Captain. But they need you healthy and strong.”

He goes quiet again, his head bowing forward. You can feel the tension in his body, the weight he’s been carrying for who knows how long. “Easier said than done,” he mutters finally.

“That’s why I’m here,” you say softly, your warmth against his back. “You don’t have to do it all alone, Curly. Let someone else carry the weight with you.”

For a moment, you think he might pull away, but instead, he relaxes ever so slightly in your hold. “You’re persistent,” he murmurs, his tone carrying a trace of something softer—gratitude, maybe.

“And you’re stubborn,” you tease gently, leaning your head against him. “So I guess we’re even.”

He huffs a quiet laugh, “Alright, fine. I’ll try to take better care of myself... for the crew.”

“And for you,” you add firmly.

He doesn’t respond immediately, but you feel his hand lightly brush yours where they rest around his waist. “Thanks,” he mutters, his voice softer now.

Jimmy

Jimmy is pacing in the cockpit, muttering to himself about the dwindling food supplies and how they’re going to ration out the next few days. He looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks.

You wait for him to pause before stepping up and slipping your arms around his waist.

“What the—!” He jumps, turning his head in surprise. When he realizes it’s you, his wide eyes soften into something resembling relief.

“You’re lucky I didn’t punch you,” he says with a breathless laugh, "Wow, punching a woman?" you snort, resting his hands over yours. He leans back into you, chuckling.

He chuckles, placing his hands lightly over yours. “Alright, you got me there.” He leans back slightly, letting himself relax in your hold.

(a/n: i did want to make him like... Mean, perv and all, but maybe you guys wouldnt like that- feel free to comment if you want a version of it)

Anya

Anya is standing infront of curly, checking up on him while humming under her breath. You come up behind her, gently draping your arms around her shoulders.

She tilts her head back, glancing at you with a curious smile. “Well, this is unexpected.”

When you don’t let go, she chuckles softly. “You’re braver than most. I don’t usually let people this close.” She leans into the hug slightly, her warmth and steady presence grounding you as much as you’re grounding her. She really likes it, it makes her shoulders relax... “Don’t let it go to your head, though.”

Swansea

Swansea is at the utility room, tools scattered everywhere as he mutters curses about faulty circuits. You approach silently and wrap your arms around his midsection.

“Bloody hell!” he yells, jerking up so fast he almost hits his head on a panel. He twists around, glaring at you. “What’s the big idea, sneakin’ up on me like that?”

When he sees your face, his irritation softens, though he tries to cover it up with a grumble. You and Swansea are like father daughter, he sighed “You scared me half to death, you know.”

You tighten the hug just slightly, and after a beat, he sighs in defeat. “Fine, fine. Just don’t make a habit of it, yeah?” But the faint smile tugging at his lips says otherwise.

"Sorry... Dad" you giggle, and he just get stunned... Out of all nickname you could pick for him... Dad? (He secretly likes it)

Daisuke

Daisuke is nervously sorting through tools in the corner, clearly trying to look busy. His hands tremble slightly, betraying his unease.

Without thinking, you walk up and hug him from behind.

He freezes entirely, his hands hovering mid-air. “Uh… wh-what are you doing?” His voice is high-pitched, flustered beyond belief.

“Giving you a hug,” you say simply.

His face turns red, and he stammers, “I—I mean, thanks, I guess? This is… new.” He doesn’t move, too overwhelmed to react, but he doesn’t pull away either.

"Am I making you uncomfrotable?" You asked, you were just about to let him go, "Huh- N-No! It's just... I didn't expect you to do this... Randomly.." he laughs nervously... "Just dont let go..."

[tabi-talks]

hi.

i'm kinda wanted in the sword civilisation and i'm supposed to be "keeping a low profile" for a while, so i made this blog to at least have people to talk to until i have something better to do. feel free to ask me stuff :)

ooc things:

this is a rp/ask blog based on pvpciv tabi, set after the finale, in the same "cinematic universe" as @guard-1225 (separate mods tho). tabi has some free time between like missions or whatnot so she made this blog. also, i'll try to not mischaracterise tabi but pls dont execute me if i make mistakes.

magic anons or what are def allowed, i literally have no clue where this blog will go, but also i might not respond to every magic stuff depending on how much i vibe with it.

im an adult and tabi is as well so like ask whatever.

this blog is a side-project for fun so i cant promise i will be active. i might add "photos" (my drawings) if a post needs it.

idk what else to say, i've never made an askblog before lol so idk how an intro post should work.

#tabi talks = original posts. #ask tabi = asks. i'll tag anything else if something comes along.

not going to maintag posts, not even sure if i'll maintag this post lol maybe ppl just have to find me through the guard blog if we ever interact

inventory (aka gifts i got) because i just know i will forget it, lol, so this is more of a note to myself:

1 loaded handgun, 16 golden apples, 3 strength III potions, 3 instant health III potions, few boxes of 9mm ammo

[dailysonadowfanfics]

Hiya! Its ME AGAIN!~

this might seem random, but i actually have some lost fics from both Ao3 and fanfiction.net… not sure how many in my collection ARE lost tho, i need to sort them.

THO, it would depend on how youre doing this tho. (which COULD add a lot of time…)

tho about sending our technically newer fics! thats so nice of you! i might take the offer when i finish up mine! (Im starting out so dont expect some of them to be Grade A or whatever lol)

I also was thinking, are you considering having some other people help you with this? cuz this IS a big job to do. (a cool one of you like it, but still a big one!)

If you do want help, i can volunteer!

Do you mean lost fics like fanfics that aren't on those platforms anymore?

It's often hard for new writers or just writers who aren't super popular in the fandom to get engagement. I'd be happy to get them a few more readers.

I would definitely consider this. Especially if someone wants to read on other platforms, since I'm only focusing on Ao3 right now.

But for anyone who wants the job (lol), you should consider the fact that Ao3 is unrestricted (not sure how it is on other platforms). Reading through every fic includes the fanfics with heavy triggers, and they aren't always tagged properly.

[todayisafridaynight]

I largely keep to myself in fandoms, only picking up the odd friend here-and-there or joining a group chat if I'm feeling brave enough. But all of this Twitter talk is making me want to try engage with folks on the platform too! My only gripe isn't even surrounding the community, since you can curate your space like you said, it's the lack of organisation and the dreaded infinite scroll on pages. I adore Tumblr for how easy you can come back to a particular post you reblogged a long time ago, or venture through the tags on somebody's page... but it feels as though that's not possible on Twitter with how it operates. Are there any ways to get around this? 🤔

tl;dr - if you're trying to find a specific topic on someone's page, type 'topic (from:@Username)'

example: minedai (from:@Snapperoni)

if you're trying to save a post to look at later, you can either use twitter's own bookmark feature, or you can use your browser's bookmark feature

long ass unnecessary winded edition below the cut

twitter's less organized than tumblr since tumblr's meant for proper organizational blogging instead of status-update-type posts like twitter (even if its blog tag search system only decides to work depending on the phase of the moon on tumblr), so fundamentally its going to be a little more awkward with organization. there's some things you can do though, and it's not impossible: it's just a little extra work

in my experience it's a lot easier to just 'run into' new accounts and posts once your algorithm knows what you like and i prefer to use twitter that way for finding art or discussions im interested in. trusting the wind and all and the wind's done me well to show me excellent art.

you can help curate your algorithm by going into your Settings -> Privacy And Safety -> Content You See. you cant manually type in topics to add (you CAN save searches though if that's anything: it just means you dont have to type in the thing you want to search when you go to the search bar), but again once you start liking posts it'll start to recommend topics like 'Yakuza' that you can add. you can also remove topics you dont like once they show up in the list under Content You See -> Interests

another way around is to just search your interest (i.e. 'baseball') and just start liking/retweeting a bunch of posts and the algorithm will do the rest for your For You page. following accounts posting the topic you like also helps (obviouslylol)); searching terms on twitter is a fine way to see people post about a thing you like. its like tumblr in that it'll only show you posts that have the tagged word (i.e. 'minedai) in the actual post (i.e. 'if i think about minedai for more than three seconds im going to eat gravel')

at most for coming back to a post you like, you can use the bookmark feature: ive used it. A Lot. and True it gets harder to find older bookmarks as time goes on but for what it is it's been nifty for me. i dont exactly look at bookmarks any older than maybe a month at this point, so it doees its job fine for my needs. if you're on desktop and you really want to save a post without using twitter's bookmark feature, then you can always use your browser's own bookmark feature (i do that with tumblr posts sometimes. it's definitely easier to organize things that way but i also can see how it might appear cumbersome)

trying to find a specific post or type of post from someone's 50/50 though, like tumblr (because i repeat its tagging system is only so reliable sometimes). unless they use tags or you remember a particular phrase they put in the post (you can search specific terms, that including tags) then you just have to scroll i fear. other than that, if you search the term you want and the account youre trying to look through (i.e. minedai (from:@Snapperoni) then it should show up: if anything, twitter's more reliable in actually showing you the post you're looking for so long as you have the term typed correctly

and ermmmm yeah i think thats all i got LOL. best of luck to using twitter

[night-dark-woods]

I want to start adding text descriptions to stuff i reblog, do you have any advice? is there a guide or something you use, the style of your IDs is very nice.

hey! thats great that you want to start writing IDs. I've reblogged guides before and ill tag this post with the tag they're in (image descriptions) so its easy to browse!

in addition to those other resources, here's some guidelines i personally keep in mind, & what i structure different IDs like.

for text transcripts: source & type of image, author, date if possible. here are some pretend/template IDs:

ID. a twitter screenshot from user @.[username] dated [date] that reads: "[tweet]." End ID.

i put the period after the @ symbol so it doesnt try to tag a nonexistent (or unrelated) user on this site, and a screenreader will just pause there briefly.

ID. a photo of a page from the book [name] by [author]. text reads: [transcript]. End ID.

if the OP cited the author/book/source, you can just do "Transcript: [text]. End transcript."

for actual images:

type of image is really important!

photograph, edited photograph, reaction image, edited reaction image, painting, digital painting, digital drawing, etc. you should always put what kind of image it is.

keep in mind the purpose of the image!

if its an art piece or a photo of one, its good to describe the medium, style, colors, and subject.

if it's a reaction image or other meme, you don't have to describe the surroundings in loving detail. the "point" of the image is enough.

if its a photograph, it might also be an art piece, or from the news, or someone sharing their pet. the amount and kind of detail again depends on the point of the image.

don't make judgements or assumptions!

dont describe things as badly drawn or badly photographed- and on the flip side, dont describe things as cute or beautiful. describe whats in the image, not how it makes you feel. if you love a certain part of how a photograph is framed, or how the light is painted in a piece of art, say that specifically. "beautiful" means nothing! do you mean realistic? vibrantly colored? "cute" means nothing! do you mean in a cartoony style? or that the subject matter is a cat, which many people find cute? be specific!

dont make statements about the gender or race of the people in the photo or art piece, especially if it's real people (like a news photo) unless you know those things as a fact (celebrities, fictional characters, people you know personally, people where it is mentioned in the article the photo is from). you can just describe things like hair length, skin tone, etc. exceptions to this rule imo are stock photos- eg if im captioning my favorite stock photo of all time, cyber woman with corn, i am going to describe it as "a stock photo of a white woman in a futuristic silver and black wraparound visor, wearing a silver bodysuit and cradling an ear of corn near her face and smiling slightly."

here are some example descriptions, all from images i have on my phone.

ID. a photo of two cats laying head to head on someones outstretched legs, which are under a blanket. one cat is an orange tabby, and the other is a gray and white splotched tabby. End ID.

the point of this image is my cats- im not going to spend time describing the blanket, the couch, the stuff you can see in the background, bc it's not relevant to the image, and adds nothing.

ID. a photo taken through a rainy window at twilight, with the camera focused on the raindrops on the glass, so the lights in the houses across the street are out of focus. the lights reflect on the wet pavement in a warm yellow glow. End ID.

i took this the other night bc i thought it looked cool how blurry it was- id consider this more of an "art" photo, so im describing the aspects of the framing etc that make it that- i wasnt just trying to show how rainy it was, but to take a photo in an interesting way, so those traits are "worth" describing.

ID. a photo of an acrylic painting done on a cardboard packing envelope of a city street at sunset, all the building windows reflecting gold. there are purple fluffy clouds in the sky, lit from below with peach and gold. the USPS tracking number barcode is still visible in the gap between houses at the end of the street. the brush strokes are very visible, the perspective is wonky, and the orange underpainting is visible at the edges. End ID.

this is a new ID for something i painted and already posted and i dont feel like getting the old ID. medium, style, and specific details i think are important are included. the perspective being wonky is a bit of a value judgement i wouldn't make about Other people's art, but it's my own and i think its an important detail so!

ID. an edited catcrumb comic, showing a simple mspaint illustration of a cat happily sorting things into piles with the caption, "sort sort. i love to arbitrarily sort." the cat has been colored in gray and its ears have been colored like homestuck troll horns, and the sorting piles replaced with some classpect symbols. End ID.

this is a good example of a edited image- its important to give (to some degree) a sense of what the original image was, say that its edited, and describe the changes. i dont need to list the classpect symbols i put on there, bc its not relevant to the message of the image- it would do nothing but make the ID longer.

oh- and to cap off the post- here is cyber woman with corn:

ID. a stock photo of a white woman in a futuristic silver and black wraparound visor, wearing a silver bodysuit and cradling an ear of corn near her face and smiling slightly. End ID.

randomised trope/tag grading game

clearly today is a day of doing memes (i posted a list of 9 favourite books earlier today). i know it's a tuesday and normal people are at work, but i'm writing some posts, hello!

Rules: Generate your own personal list of 10 AO3 tags to rate. How much do these tags affect your decision to click on a fic? -10 -> very dissuaded 0 - don’t care either way +10 -> very enticed nope -> if it’s a hard no and you’d never click on a fic with that tag or or you even have the tag blocked or you’d insta click out of the fic if it wasn’t tagged Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it’s conditional.

i was tagged in a very similar post by @bookish-bogwitch a few weeks ago. at the time i read her post, i felt like our opinions were so aligned that there wasn't a good reason for me to write my own post. (well done, great opinions!) the only exception really is that if a snowbaz fic was tagged age gap i might choose to read it - less because the trope is for me, and more because that's kind of weird for snowbaz. so, maybe it would be interesting! and i guess i feel pretty meh about H/C, sorry folks.

anyway - i decided to tweak the meme into the form that you see in this post. here's my 10 random things and what i think about them👇

Amusement Parks: -2

harsh judgement right out of the gate. i've read some good ones but i feel like generally a fic about an amusement park is likely to be some quite gentle fluff, maybe a modern AU, and that's not my favourite.

Unconventional Families: 0

maybe all slash fics that are kidfics are unconventional families? if so - i actually quite like kidfic, a not that secret shame, but i sort of like it less if the fact that they're gay parents is now worth flagging because it makes life difficult - since i am a gay parent. and i dont want to read about how it will be hard. so it averages out to a 0. if the family is more unconventional.... who knows? i would neither click nor not click.

Rough Sex: 8

how sad for me that this is my first clear yes and highest rated. i probably would click unless other tags or the summary put me off.

Public Transportation: 3

i went with a yes here, as i'm intrigued. it's oddly specific and suggests an interest in the specifics, and i am a fan of public transport. i've read some nice fics where snowbaz meet on trains (yes, often modern AU, but i dont dislike them all), like the classic 15-across by @ninemagicks and the equally classic remix 2-Down (A 15-Across remix) by @carryonvisinata (who also wrote a theme park story i like, so the -2 is definitely feeling mean. ah well, press on.) Bickering: 7

i mean - i prefer banter, but i assume if someone has written bickering they kind of mean banter. unless it's like sibling bickering and then maybe not.

Phone Calls & Telephones: 0

this is almost text fic (which i like less than most people like it) but not. i often write in a phonecall, it's part of what i think of as the friendship to lovers arc...... idk. i'm also going to add here that i keep thinking about plots that rely on people not being able to call each other, which is kind of the opposite. or you have to get to a pay phone - i dont know that i would want to read a fic like that, but there are some fun movies and books that you'd have to rework now. most recently i was watching madonna in 'desperately seeking susan'.

Redeemed (character): 7

this really depends on who they are, obviously. i can imagine it being really annoying if they never show any redeemability, but i've given it a strong 7 because i come from a world of redeeming the master from doctor who over and over again, so it would feel silly not to have it as a yes. and i kind of want to redeem the mage....... but it would be weird if he just was redeemed in a fic, and so too the master. it would have to be kind of about it.

Quests: 7

yes. not a 10/10 insta-click , because i can imagine it going on a bit too long if it was a fic about a quest rather than, say, two people realising they loved each other, but i would like it to be in the background. snowbaz has some good quest fics. Song of Sirens (rated E) by @scone-lover is such a fic or A Gift From the Propheseals (rated M) by @skeedelvee and @letraspal another.

Cats: 3

this feels mean, i have 3 cats myself - i like cats to be in a fic because cats are nice, but i also dont have many feelings about animal transformation and if snowbaz adopt a cat in the future... that's fine by me, i hope they do, but i probably don't want to read about it for more than a few lines.

Sociopathy: 2

probably not if it's a serious examination of this, but plenty of my villainous favs could be described as sociopaths, so... i give it a 2!

--

anyone who wants to do the meme in this form - please do!

i tag everyone already tagged in this post, the people i tagged last post, and a few others: @giishu @orange-peony @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @carryonvisinata @alleycat0306 @fight-surrender @cows4247 @messofthejess @mysterioussheep @ivelovedhimthroughworse @nightimedreamersworld @cutestkilla @fatalfangirl @artsyunderstudy @larkral @forabeatofadrum @ileadacharmedlife @facewithoutheart happy tuesday.

[nknoxe-n]

Hellooo!! i love blue lock sm and i’ve been wanting to do a match up soooo badly but i always miss the dates :( im so happy to actually do one for once :)

im a aquarius + a entj! normally im a bit quieter w people i dont know but once i warm up to you, i love to talk abt anything n everything (ig i can consider myself a ambivert) ! i love to listen to music especially LeeHi + newjeans along w the marías + arctic monkeys. right now, i listen to H.S.K.T by LeeHi and No.1 Party Anthem by arctic monkeys on repeat :) I also loveee to collect vinyls + have been going antique shopping to look for cool chinaware. Lastly, i love to cook + bake from scratch especially for the people i love (i’ve made danishes from scratch along w homemade bread etc.)

I’m usually a calm person that is relatively cool with anything. I normally do whatever my friends want to do whether that be going to the beach after class or walking around outdoor malls! Im alright w staying on or going out but if i had to pick, id rather go out and do something with the people i care about even if its just walking around :)

i love to wear baggy or wide leg jeans, more form fitting tops + different kinds of shoes (i have everything from ballet flats to nike dunks to different colored heels). honestly my style depends on my mood + where i go

i love guys who are smart and sarcastic (since i can be too) and who stand firm in what they believe in. Definitely have to be a gentleman and hold doors open, keep me on the inside of the sidewalk, open my car door etc. ALSO has to have a sense of humor and will be good w going out or staying in.

Im soooo excited to see what you thinkkk (so sorry for the long description) TYSM!! <3

Your Blue Lock Matchup: Reo Mikage

Alright, let’s talk about Reo Mikage as your match. On the surface, he’s ambitious, charming, and generous to a fault. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a guy who genuinely values connection and thrives on making the people he loves feel special. Your calm, adaptable nature paired with his determination and charisma creates a relationship that’s both steady and exciting.

Let’s start with the good stuff. Reo is someone who loves to share his world. Your interest in vinyl collecting, antique shopping, and baking would interest him. Not only would he tag along to find unique chinaware, but he’d also be the type to surprise you with something he found at a boutique shop, claiming it "just screamed you."

He’d also love your style. The guy's rich as hell, so good style is a must for him, and Reo would find it magnetic. Don’t be surprised if he starts subtly coordinating outfits or buying you pieces he thinks would look perfect on you.

Reo’s gentlemanly side is another big win for you. He’d always walk on the outside of the sidewalk, hold doors open, and treat you with the utmost respect. This aligns perfectly with your preference for a partner who’s not just charming but genuinely thoughtful.

But let’s add a dose of realism—because Reo’s not perfect as much as he wants to be. His ambition and wealth sometimes make him a little overbearing. While he sees his acts of service and gifts as a way to show love, there might be times when it feels like he’s trying to "fix" or "improve" situations you didn’t ask him to. For example, your homemade danishes? Reo would adore them—but he might also suggest hiring a professional chef to "give you more free time," which could feel dismissive of your personal efforts.

Reo’s need for success and control might also mean he struggles with vulnerability. He’d pour himself into making you happy but could hesitate to open up about his own insecurities or let you support him emotionally. You’d need to remind him that a relationship is a partnership, not just a one-sided effort to impress.

But that’s where your balance comes in. Your calm, adaptable nature and firm boundaries would help Reo realize that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about growth. Your ability to gently challenge his over-the-top tendencies and encourage him to relax would bring out a more grounded side of him, making your relationship stronger in the long run.

if you dont mind me asking, how do you do the card renders?

so i'm not 100% sure how to answer this because its kinda vague - i'm not sure if you're asking about the card (image editing) part or the rendering process! if you want to know about the process of getting the characters and areas into blender, i've written a few posts about that already - they're under the "toontown models" tag on my blog, so they shouldn't be too difficult to find. RAMBLING ABOUT IMAGE EDITING BELOW THE CUT EXCLAMATION MARK EMOJI! THIS ISN'T A TUTORIAL IT'S JUST ME TALKING!!!! (only slightly related, but i'm putting it above the cut so more people might see it - i wrote some mock pokemon cards for managers a bit ago but i don't want to make them full images, would anyone be interested in me just posting those as text?)

the actual image editing part i do in photoshop! it's kind of a bad program but my usual art program dies when i try to do what i do for cards because it kinda struggles with text. i've started doing the text in-render for the cards recently, though, because it's kind of a blast?

it's probably obvious to anyone who's looked at them hard before, but my mock cards use the Series 1 Cog cards as a base (the official Disney ones)

they've just got a sort of weirdly unhinged vibe to them, they're so far off of the cogs representation in-game and kinda gives a look at (imo) how the cogs were originally imagined, as I feel that some of the card art is closer to original concept art (or probably is concept art) than it is close to in-game character appearances. man, Cold Callers card doesn't even look like the same guy! he's lanky here!

and i mean, kinda obvious, but i can't get the same level of craziness these cards are on with renders, but i can try. so i do! it's fun!

i don't know if anyone has really noticed it, but for the last handful of cards i've been opting for colouring the border of the card dependent on the department of the cog. green for cashbot, pink for sellbot, etc. here's a test i did of it a couple weeks back when i was playing around with the idea in my head (the renders were randomly chosen):

(the boardbot colour is kinda subtle - but that's just how it is in-game, exe bd skelecogs are super close to exe lb skelecogs, but maybe that's just my eyes)

the actual "process" of putting the card together once i've done the render is kinda just plopping the render into the .psd and telling photoshop what department the cog is (for the border colour) & then i'm done. the file is super simple, it's just a series 1 card but i edited everything out other than the border, bunch of layers connected to the border that give it the department colours, layer of a kinda-crappy filter i slap on to try and give it the same "feel" the card scans have, layer for the text (optional now that i do it in-render), layer with the render.

there's some extra fun stuff i try and do with effects in the renders, but i'm kinda new to messing around with blender stuff like that, so i try and hold it to a minimum. as an example, the CFO render is kinda hue-shifted so i could get the colours closer to what i was basing the lighting of the render off of! to use a better example of silly effects i used for a card, i'm gonna talk about this high roller card:

dude this thing took forever because i wanted to do Everything in-render (would've taken way less time if i wasn't stubborn). it's a bunch of layers and gradients and shine. i'm kind of tipping my hand here, but there's straight up just a blindingly bright cube in their hands that's making the shine, and then i kinda just. told blender to add a lens flare. and it did. i had to simulate rain for that one misty render and that was a time. y'know. i actually have to finish up a commission where there's blinding light emitting from something and it's really really good and probably one of the best renders i have done and it is 99% thanks to the commissioner because the ask is So Good.

anyways that's kind of all i wanted to say. i hope this answered your question? maybe? was your question just "what do you make them in?" if so, it's blender and photoshop. sorry for making you read a text wall instead. at the risk of sounding too silly, i really like speaking about the things that i do, but i feel weird talking about them unprompted? so i took this as being prompted and talked.

What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

MY BAD it has taken me a little while to get to every fic writer question ive been asked pfft but i appreciate all of them and theyre really fun to answer :o and alright ok common things—character psychology is a big thing in all of my work :o aa every time i write a characters pov i try to do at least some research into their personality, backstory, etc etc bc my writing is almost always like?? character study type things?? i Really like delving deep into how characters think!!! :o so a lot of my works are like. you Will hear almost every thought in their head HAH. ive been told i have a very recognizable writing style widndnd but i do try to switch up internal dialogue at least a little bit depending on the pov character. i dont know how effective i am at that but i try HAH plus i think its fun trying to capture how someone thinks in the same way that youd try to capture how they speak in their dialogue. i think the most obvious example is probably my recent reinhard stuff—i tried to sound more formal with him? even with little kid reinhard i wrote his internal dialogue kind of formally because i figured that Might be able to create that bit of Dissonance that reinhard has as a character, you know? hes uncanny.

and uh because i focus on internal dialogue a lot, by the nature of things i kind of Have To slap the unreliable narrator tag on the vast majority of my fics HAH but unreliable narrators are fun and i love playing with them!! and i think its realistic in the sense that even a character thats very fair and just and honest may still have the wrong information at times or have emotion cloud their judgment or be a little unreliable for those reasons. that and i tend to pick the mentally fucked characters (which is pretty easy with the rezero cast HAH) whenever i write Very detailed internal dialogue so!!! unreliable narration and spirals into madness it is!!! i just really like exploring like. the humanity behind each character and all their nuances <3 and i Love having to squint at internal dialogue and add that up with a characters thoughts and actions and figure out who this person Actually Truly Is Like?? its like a puzzle :o !!

as for themes. i went into this a lot in another fic writer ask thingy but Definitely like. when characters change as a result of shit hitting their fan and/or their own choices and now theyre Different from the person they used to be. they came back wrong so now what are they going to do? how are the people around them going to treat them now? how will they treat the people around them? i just really like going into like. identity crisis… and um…. suffering that triggers massive self searching bc. the character changed in some way in order to survive through it physically and/or mentally. like seeing characters change for the worse and seeing them either try to crawl their way out or they. keep going down. it can be hopeful or very tragic!!! (bc i love hurt/comfort and tragedy a lot ajdnd) and complicated relationships are a huge favorite of mine to tackle. fascinating multi-layered stuff that i want to study under a microscope!!! i like when multiple contradictions exist within a dynamic or like. a character and their journey. the complexity feels very real to me and i find it intriguing :o

i also love queer themes but due to um. some of the toxicity in this fandom i do hesitate to do stuff with that in this fandom but i DO love queer themes its just not in most of my work atm but thatll change eventually 👍 ill at least slip in a little bit every chance i get 👍👍 (i have exactly one fic with queer themes atm wjdnd)

motifs/random imagery i use a lot also!!!! mostly bc i find them cool and fun but. yes theyre there for a reason. in my first pride otto fic i used second person pov and avoided using his name at points to emphasize that hes 1. being dehumanized and 2. hes dehumanizing himself too as a result. i uhh have also used star related things for subaru a lot bc Of Course. butterflies and moths for emisuba things…. economics themed titles for my pride otto multichap…. bugs for general pride if things…. comparing the knights uniform to bird wings in my reinhard and heinkel fic… i like to describe outfits in general too (pride otto vs main ottos outfits, also felix not wearing blue in the 2 seconds of screentime he has in my pride if fics atm wkdndn) etc etc :o

[powerpolyculeshowdown]

form closed!!

Whats next?

I'm gonna need a few days to a week to get through everything and pick the participating polycules!

thank you so much to everyone who submitted, i didnt think i would even get enough for a 64 bracket, but i actually have more!!!! at first ill prioritize by number of entries, idk how many repeated entries there are but if theres still more than 64 by then, ill see what i do. i dont want to prioritize canon, i feel that would be unfair since the competition is for implied/almost canon too... but i have an idea that might work depending on the total number of unique nominations... 👀

And, if your fave doesn't get in, i'm sorry in advance but they will have their spotlight too, as i plan to make posts mentioning all the polycules that didn't get in, talking a bit about them, so people can get to know even more canon (or implied) rep to look into if it interests them! those will likely hace a unique tag seperate from my polyam rep tag, and i'll add it to the pinned post whenever i think of it/make the new one

thank you again for the submissions!!

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

heyyyy, guessing it was my tags among others that led you to weigh in? sorry about that. I didn't want to weigh in on the post itself because my past experience is that people get really mad a lot when talking about cycling on the internet, and my knowledge is maybe outdated by now anyway. I agree with you - wearing a helmet definitely protects you from tbis. In my ideal world, everyone able and comfortable to would cycle to get places and they would all wear helmets when doing so.

I'm probably out of date on this one because it's been a few years since I looked into it, but the debate about helmets is to do with risks of cyclists specifically being hit by cars, which is actually less likely to give them a tbi than other crashes - because it's much more likely to kill them outright. Proportionally, cars hit cyclists more in countries where they're required by law to wear helmets than those where they're not. Or at least a few studies have found that. People are unsure as to why this is. It may be because drivers assume that a cyclist wearing a helmet will be alright if the driver hits them, and so take more risks, passing closer, on blind corners, etc. (There are other suggested explanations also, e.g. not requiring helmets leads to more cyclists overall, invoking safety in numbers as drivers get better at safely passing them. It might be a combination of factors.)

This hypothesised assumption re safety on the part of drivers is extremely wrong of course. Cycle helmets are mainly designed to protect against things such as falling off your bike or running into a tree, etc. They are not going to be nearly as much help if you're run over by a car, which is much bigger and heavier than another bike and moves a lot faster than a tree or the ground. They'll still be some help. But much less. So the calculus becomes: do you increase the overall risk of being hit by a car and potentially dying, in exchange for reducing the risk that if you're hit by a car, and survive, you'll get a tbi? Depends where you live, what the drivers are like, how many there are, how fast they drive, how safely, idk what other factors. You kinda just have to guess, something humans are notoriously terrible at when it comes to risk. It's a nightmare scenario. In many places the answer is "just don't cycle, or at least not on public roads". Which is especially awful because the safety in numbers thing means that the fewer people who do it, the less safe it is for those that still do.

The issue here imo is drivers. Or really, going back up the chain, car-centric road and infrastructure design, lack of separated bike and pedestrian routes from the roads, and inadequate public transport. We're always going to have some cars on the road, as there will always be some people who need them, but we could have a lot less and they could be driving a lot more safely. But we don't and they aren't. Because... capitalism, probably?

Anyway sorry about that. And sorry that happened to you, that sounds really awful.

ye, it was both your tags and @bundibird s tags that made me want to chip in on it.

like you, i didnt really want to add onto the post itself because having had a post of my own breach containment recently, i dont have much energy for people being dicks to me about something like this.

but i kinda felt compelled as someone who would normally just be a statistic.

i do wonder if part of the problem might be that if people wear a helmet, they feel as if they dont have to wear high vis jackets and what-have-you at night, and hence are more likely to get hit at night.

i can also imagine that only having four countries (cyprus, argentina, australia and aotearoa) which both require and enforce the law probably causes some bias due to sampling.

but overall, i do think the main problem is cars. so many people see cyclists as these nuisances on the roads and have an air around them that they wouldnt be upset if they hit one.

i remember doing a bike safety course in the last year of primary school where we learned how to ride on the road instead of the pavement, and i knew right then that id never be able to do it because i simply wouldnt trust car drivers enough. by then, id seen my dad violate so very many road laws because one person cut him off.

and a lot of it does come back to fucking capitalism and this individualistic mindset we all get drilled into us where its like "oh you care about strangers? how pathetic" which is so dangerous on a road.

thank you <3 honestly my tbi was nowhere near as traumatising as it could have been because i have an amazing mom and brother who made everything a lot better. obviously, its still not a Good™ memory and again, this is why im always going to be a staunch advocate of helmet wearing and not taking risks on the road that you dont need to.

｡･:*˚:✧｡ Welcome to my space

This is my secret blog dedicated to my kins [and occasionally self shipping if i feel like it]

I go by any/all prns

You can refer to me by either Star, Bolts or crumb

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ･ ───

｡･:*˚:✧｡ Bfy

I wont make my full kin list public but you can probably guess depending on what i post/reblog

Im not really into kin based relationships, both friendships and dating. I want peeps to like me for who i am now, not for who i was or who you remember. You are free to try to befriend me but if all we share is kin source it’ll probably not go far

Occasionally i will post about my F/o’s here too, some overlap with kin memory relationships, others do not.

I might occasionally use typing quirks or other ways to fancy up my posts, really sorry to peeps who can’t interact with posts with those, but this blog is mainly for my own comfort and silly’s

To add onto the last one: typing quirks and others will only be used when i feel like it, and most kins will have different ones

I kin spiritually, these are me in past lives

I will tag fandom very rarely

I have a lot of kins, most of wich are at minimum mildly canon divergent so if some things dont make sense, thats why

Im rather disconnected from most past life relationships i’ve had, and mixed with the fact that i have a lot of kins, some statements/opinions/etc may seem contradictory. Im aware. Dont think too hard about it

I primarily queue, simply cause it brings me comfort

Hello I am Angel :) I'm not too super sure what to post here but here's some basic info

Heres my bluesky incase i ever get nuked and you want to know where to find me!

Ask responses will be tagged with 🪽responds

PUT YOUR AGE IN YOUR BIO. MINORS DNI. THIS IS AN NSFT BLOG. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

I like making friends and having mutuals, please feel free to message me! I have anxiety so I might take a bit to respond, but asks and dms are open!

I have a (much less used) sfw blog which you can find right here

Important info under the cut!

× I'm a switch top!

As fun as bottoming sounds it's just not really for me :( sometimes I like to dom, sometimes I like to sub, just depends on my mood and my partner, but I heavily lean towards sub. Sub stuff will be tagged with subby thoughts and dom stuff will be tagged with dom thoughts

× my pronouns are he/him and I am M4Fem

I don't really like lables for gender and sexuality too much but I use he/him pronouns and I am not cisgender. I'm M4Fem, I'm not straight but i don't really feel any romantic or sexual attraction to masc people usually, not 100% of the time but like 95%

× probably no photos!

I have a lot of really identifiable tattoos, and I dont really want to be identified! I might post some with the tattoos covered or scribbled over but we'll see, im really absolutely covered so itd be hard to do. If we become good friends, then I'd be happy to share identifiable photos/other social media, but we have to become really good friends first for that

Im still figuring out kinks and stuff, but once I do I will update this and add them! For now I can say with confidence I am into

As a sub

× mommy kink

× sliigghht pet play I guess? I like being called puppy sometimes and the humiliation of being talked to like a dog

x very very slight forced fem

× gentle degradation and humiliation

× slapping/spanking

× orgasm denial

× breast/body worship

× praise

As a dom

× being called sir (maybe other titles? Only ever explorer sir)

× art

× Greek mythology (mythology in general really)

× reading/writing

x arcane

Dms are open, but if you are over 30, please do not dm me. You can interact with my content, but I'm 20, and I'm not comfortable with interacting with people in a sexual manner or about sexual things who are outside of my age group.

[iloveschiaparelli]

About Me Post

I haven't done one of these so it's probably time

Name: Just my @ will suffice

Schiaparelli is in reference to the crater, not the fashion website(?)

Age: 21

Autism - Self Dx (pursuing diagnosis)

I'm an aspiring writer/director who currently lives with two wonderful roommates, one of whom has a cat named Rookie, whom you will see often in my garden posts. I like to garden, play D&D/Pathfinder (my first pathfinder campaign is starting next week!), organize, do crafts like painting or embroidering, photography, and I draw digitally using Clip Studio Paint and a Huion tablet.

Sometimes I write, my writing blog is @ilike2eatdirt (which is not true btw). I also enjoy playing video games, reading books/webtoons/manga, and watching shows/movies. My main work in filmmaking is limited to wardrobe/production design. I have 5 short film credits, 1 music video credit, and 3 more shoots coming up in the fall. All of my film stuff so far has been unpaid student-level work.

My Blog is About: Whatever I want!!!! This is a blog by me, for me, and the People are invited if they choose to attend. To date the most consistent topics I've posted about are my Potted Plant Empire & various autism revelations. I reblog a lot... usually in short bursts though! I will sometimes post artwork.

Favorite Topics (Includes special interests): Astronomy, film, art, storytelling, geology (SHINY ROCKS), ancient persia, autism, Wes Ball(his work), sharks, and more

Fandoms you might see me posting about: Maximum Ride, Planet of the Apes (2011- ), The Maze Runner (movies), The Ascendance Series, Lost (I am only up to s3 no spoilers please!), Heroic Legend of Arslan, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yona of the Dawn/Akatsuki no Yona, various webtoons/anime on a highly infrequent basis, etc.

Video Games I like to play/have played/started playing:

Minecraft, Nier: Automata. I also enjoy(ed) playing Rain World (in-progress), Hollow Knight (finished 1 ending and was done), Yes, Your Grace (also 1 ending and done), Andromeda Six (this is a really really good indie Visual Novel that is currently in development and has been regularly releasing chapters since 2020), Skate 3 (when I feel like pulling out the xbox 360), Skyrim (started), Stardew Valley (I GIVE UP. I AM IN SUMMER AND STILL HAVE NO MONEY.)

Tags to Note on my Blog:

#gardenblr is typically what I start every potted plant empire post with.

#actually autistic is usually what I start autism-related posts with (moments i should have realized im autistic, relatable autism things, 2am revelations, autism-specific rants, etc.)

#vent/#rant/#personal post will likely be swapped between depending on whichever fits best for what I'm posting, but generally anything I'm concerned about being personal that strangers on the internet don't want to see, will have one of those 3 tags.

#artwork is ummm artwork

Fandom posts will get fandom tags so if you get too much of a particular fandom that you don't like/dont care about, feel free to filter that out or just shoot me a message and I'll add a tag just for you <3
