Hi! This might be a weird question but I notice you share a lot of gifs from animes and such so I was hoping you could help me. Do you know any adult female characters with black hair who have a sort of punk biker ( think Chuuya in the Dead Apple flashback when he was 18, kinda edgy dark ) aesthetic? I’m looking for a faceclaim. I’m not having any luck.

hi anon! i honestly don't really know any.

one of my buds suggested nana from nana

[luffys]

hi moh! do you have any favourite anime movies (?) and disney movies?

oooh hello anon! i just love animation so much so yes of course i do!

Anime

Promare - i love vibrant colour schemes so much and i watched this like last year i think and OMG it's beautiful!! the colours caught my eye from the get go and then all the characters and music just added to it!

i'm not going to lie, i haven't actually seen all of the ghibli movies but the ones I have I love so much. My top 2 would be Howl's Moving Castle and Sprited Away (so far)

I still cry during Pokemon: The First Movie when pikachu cries over Ash

Pokemon: Spell of the Unknown (the one with Entei), and i love the one with Celebi so much too (pokemon: 4ever) bc celebi's the cutest. The jirachi one's pretty good for me too bc i thought jirachi was adorable.

listen i love sailor moon, it's a huge part of my childhood and i was oBSESSED with the movies. I used to pick those to rent back when movie rentals were a thing!! So i have to say Sailor Moon R: The movie (Promise of the Rose). It still gets me singing along during the end fight scene (i memorized the lyrics so fast when i was younger).

I also love sailor moon s: the movie so much too! not so much for villain/storyline but bc i loved seeing more of luna (especially as a human too!!)

one piece stampede - THEY HAD ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also 'everyone who's dead are losers' line

Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Mugen Train movie - the art of KNY is just stunning and the movie didn't disappoint either!!! loved it so much

aladdin - i love aladdin and jasmine so much

toy story and toy story 2

101 dalmations - i loved the live actions they had too

Hullo. I'm not being rude but just wondering... why is it a huge problem if the likes and reblogs are uneven when you said that you create contents for yourselves???

Okay first off, here’s my problem with your ask: you took two different things I said and put them together when I said them separately for a reason. While you may not have seen it as a problem, it is because it changed what I had said before. On to the problem with the topics I brought up.

Also in my explanation, I want to clarify that when I say “you” I don’t mean you personally. I’m talking in the general sense and meaning you as in the fandom.

Here’s the context for both statements I made:

1. Creating content for ourselves: “When we non-white and/or LGBT+ fans create such edits, we are not doing it for the white and/or straight only community. WE ARE CREATING THIS CONTENT FOR OURSELVES.“

2. Likes vs. reblogs: “The other problem for content creators is the clear unevenness in the ratio of likes vs. reblogs. I.e. when a person makes an edit and gets 50 notes on their edit, the ratio looks something like “43 likes, 7 reblogs”. This is a huge problem for content creators not just in the Narnia fandom!! It’s happening in every fandom and the issue is some of these creators may depend on followers to get their content out past just circle the creator has.”

So on to what I meant with each statement:

1. The reason I said we create content for ourselves was in a statement about the issue of forcing diversity. When POC or LGBT+ fans of the series ask creators to create content (because they may not know their way around how to make edits and such) we are told to make our own stuff if the idea doesn’t line up with what the creator imagines. Which, fair enough, sometimes creators don’t want to change their interpretations for whatever reason. The problem is when those VERY SAME POC or LGBT+ fans DO create content for their own interpretations, we are immediately told that it’s “forcing diversity” even though that’s literally what we’ve been told to do. CREATE IT OUR FUCKING SELVES. That is what I meant for the creating it for ourselves part of my statement.

2. The likes vs. reblogs issue. Some of the creators that create content are artists or writers that depend on their followers to get word out about them and their work. Some of them depend on commissions and donations that they get because of the RECOGNITION they receive about their work. If that doesn’t make you see the issue, here’s a similar example to give you an idea of what I mean as to why likes vs. reblogs is an issue: if you see a movie/show or hear a song or read a book you like or even love, you recommend it to others because you want it to be appreciated. You want it to get the recognition it deserves. When you like an edit, you are not helping spread the word about the creator or the content. When you reblog an edit you are getting the word out for the creator and their content. You are showing others that follow you how amazing you think it is. Liking it just keeps it quiet, reblogging it spreads the love for it and allows others to love it too. The other issue with this is that when it is about the diverse content a fandom makes (especially a smaller one like Narnia) and you simply like it, you’re not supporting the diversity at all. You can call yourself an ally for POC and/or the LGBT+ community, scream it from goddamn rooftops as much as you want to, but you ARE NOT AN ALLY because you ARE NOT willing to support us when we need you to. We need you to speak up when these issues come up like they did with the confession. We need you to reblog our DIVERSE content if you call yourself an ally because otherwise you’re telling us ‘oh I like it/agree with it, but not enough for others to know’. It’s like you’re keeping us a dirty secret and THAT’S NOT FAIR to us in the slightest.

✨🧡🌙 SEND THIS TO TEN OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP THE GAME GOING ✨🧡🌙

ANA YOU AMAZING BEAN!!! I THINK YOU’RE WONDERFUL BUD!!!! I HOPE DECEMBER HAS BEEN KIND TO YOU💛🥰💛🥰💛

[luffys]

Hi hi! I am here once again :D I'm very happy to hear you did well on your exams!💕Aww I am very sorry to hear that, I can imagine how hard it is, but it's so awesome you have such a great family and friends to support you during these times :') I'm glad you can see the positive side of things. Hope you get a deserved rest! Wow really good choices, nice to see an ANY character there! My question this time is: what kind of editing styles do you prefer or like the most? -From your Secret Santa

hello again dear anon!!

thank you for all the kind words! it’s really been hard but i’m very thankful for my family and friends who have been here for me during this entire time

midterms might be done but now it’s finals time and it is sO MUCH!!!

I love ANY!! i haven’t had a chance to catch up on it, and so many other animangas (i can’t wait to get time for one piece again). zeno’s stole my heart as soon as he was introduced. i’m all about the tragic yet still living souls who stay kind despite all their sufferings. there’s something so captivating about him

now, on to your question! honestly i love all different editing styles bc they’re so unique y’know?? gifs, graphics, mixed, etc. it’s all just beautiful to me. although, if you’re really twisting my arm to answer, i might choose graphics just a little more bc i just love seeing what people create to encompass a show/character in one graphic set. which quotes they use, whether a song connects to a character perfectly, which scenes/screenshots they use and how they’re arranged, the colours that take centre stage, and so much more. since i’ve started doing graphics more and more i always love seeing other people’s graphics and trying to envision a character/show how they do

also just want to warn you anon that, like i mentioned, I have my finals next week so if you send any messages then i might not answer till the week after!

[luffys]

Hello hello! It's me again ;) Please don't worry about how long it takes you to answer! I'm also really busy too. I'm sure you'll do/are doing great on your midterms ❤️ Aww thanks for having so much faith in my gift <3 Omg yellow is such a good color! So warm and fuzzy, and the color of a lot of tasty food 💛🍯 Today I'll go with 2 questions, 1. Are you excited about the holidays? What are your usual plans? 2. Which would be your top 5 favorite characters and why? -From your Secret Santa

hello hello again! i hope everything’s going well for you bud and thank you!! they went okay! some better than others but not horrible!

i can’t wait to see what you create!! and omg right! yellow is just so good💛

now to answer your questions!

1) this answer might be a bit sad but i’m feeling mixed about the holidays. the holidays still hurt a lot because i can’t share them with my brother anymore. no doubt everyone back home will be there for my family and i so it won’t hurt as much. i am excited though because i’ll get to go home during the break and i get a little longer break than other schools in the country so i’ll have more time with my fam before i have to come back for next semester. i’ll get to see my cousin and her lenghas she bought for her wedding. i’ll finally get to see and hold my other cousin’s new baby boy in person! i’ll get to see my parents and grandma! i’ll be hanging out with some friends who messaged to see when exactly roh and i would get back! it’s a lot of just hanging out with family and friends as the holidays normally are but it will be so nice after this long semester. i’m really looking forward to it ❤️

2) top five characters!!! oof mine tend to change depending on what i’m into but here’s my current list: nakahara chuuya (bsd), oikawa tooru (hq!!), vanitas (vnc), zeno (any) and usagi tsukino (sailor moon)! there’s definitely more but i tried to keep it to 5! let me know if you need more💛

did something happen in the narnia fandom?

*long drawn out sigh* Oh boy anon, where have you been for the last month?

So much has happened that I don’t know where to start tbh. The Narnia fandom has become one of the most toxic fandoms I’ve ever had the experience of being in so far. Like the lack of support for diverse content is just so tiring. 

Here’s what I know has happened so far:-I don’t know the whole issue but apparently some fans tried to argue that Lucian (Lucy & Caspian) was an okay ship?? You’d need to ask someone else about this because I didn’t know about this issue until after it was pretty much done.

-There was an issue with some members in the NarniaNetwork because they were supporting/trying to push their racist and anti LGBT+ views over others diverse views so, as a result, those members were removed. I won’t talk more on that issue because as the admin and creator of that network I made the decision to only inform Narnianetwork members if they wanted to know more.  It’s not for non-narnianetwork members to hear about because frankly it’s none of your business. I won’t mention any names even though I know some of the individuals have made posts themselves on the issue. I’m only saying this because I’m not going to lie and say Narnianetwork was perfect at that time.

-A couple days later there was a Narnia fan who sent the narniaconfession blog a confession saying “the Narnia fandom need to stop forcing diversity”. Do you have any idea how hard it would be for any non-white and/or LGBT+ narnia fan to hear how our interpretations and head canons are INVALID?? Because, let me tell you, I’m so tired of pandering and trying to keep the white-and/or-straight-only narnia fans happy. When we non-white and/or LGBT+ fans create such edits, we are not doing it for the white and/or straight only community. WE ARE CREATING THIS CONTENT FOR OURSELVES. Also with this confession, I know some people tried to argue that having people focus on LGBT+ head canons of the Pevensies and other characters was wrong because different sexualities/LGBT+ views like that had no place in a children’s series but at the same time those people that argued against having different sexualities in the series were still okay with shipping characters in a heterosexual relationship. The ship in question is Suspian (Susan & Caspian) and, despite me being a Suspian shipper, I still feel like it’s extremely wrong where people only acknowledge them as a possible ship and disregard other sexualities/relationships. Like seriously, do you understand how bad of an ideal that is to spread? That children aren’t able to be any different sexuality than straight. And the other harmful thing about this was that this ideal immediately tries to imply that every LGBT+ head canon is inherently sexual when that is a complete lie. There was just so much wrong to that confession that there was a huge uproar of anger from the diverse Narnia fans for a good reason.

-I know that another Narnia fan posted their OWN head canons and interpretations about the characters. And because they weren’t what the straight and/or white fans wanted, SOME ABSOLUTE DISGUSTING JERK decided to send that fan in question RACIAL SLURS in their ask box anonymously. Like what the fuck?? This person has to live with the knowledge, for the rest of their life, that they did this disgusting thing. 

-I know that there’s Casmund (Caspian & Edmund) shipping discourse but I don’t really know what’s going on for that so you’d probably be better off asking someone else.

-And the latest issue that has risen up in the Narnia fandom is that the fandom don’t really appreciate the amount of time and effort creators put into their content. Instead these content creators get bashed on in the tags because the person who reblogs the content doesn’t like what they see, conveniently ignoring the whole “just ignore the post/block it if you don’t like it’ ideology in favour of saying how the creator of said content is clearly wrong and the reblog-ee is right. The other problem for content creators is the clear unevenness in the ratio of likes vs. reblogs. I.e. when a person makes an edit and gets 50 notes on their edit, the ratio looks something like “43 likes, 7 reblogs”. This is a huge problem for content creators not just in the Narnia fandom!! It’s happening in every fandom and the issue is some of these creators may depend on followers to get their content out past just circle the creator has.

-Also, I know another Narnia fan who was prominent because of their creations left the fandom as well because of the toxicity of the fandom. 

To end this off I’m going to say this once: I have not and will not be revealing names even if you come off anon and ask me directly. I’ve been very firm on this stance even amongst the NarniaNetwork discourse when it was occurring and I will remain firm on this stance for other discussions that had nothing to do with the NarniaNetwork.

This got really long but that’s what I know has happened/is currently happening in the fandom. I obviously don’t know everything that’s occurred on those topics, like I’ve said, so in those cases where I don’t know what’s going on you should definitely ask someone else who does because I don’t want to be giving you the wrong information on those topics.

TLDR: the Narnia fandom is an extremely toxic fandom to be in currently specifically if you are a POC and/or a member of the LGBT+ community. This fandom has isolated and/or driven away a lot of POC and LGBT+ members because of the lack of support for their diverse interpretations of the series.

[hauntedthief]

Lucy Pevensie?

Lucy + Alice Kingsleigh tbh. I don’t really ship her with anyone in the Narniaverse. 

send me a character & I’ll tell you my favourite ship for them

[hauntedthief]

Ships for Susan Pevensie, Zoro Roronoa, and Yona (from Akatsuki No Yona)?

Susan + Caspian all the way, Zebra. No contest.

Zoro + some basic goddamn navigational skills.

Yona + Hak.

send me a character & I’ll tell you my favourite ship for them

[hauntedthief]

What is your favorite edit you’ve ever made?

Oh god that’s a tough one! I have too many tbh. You asked for one but I’m going to list my top 10 (5 Narnia edits and 5 other fandom edits) favourites in no particular order.

Top 5 Narnia:

1. Susan + So Cold song. It’s the first time I had posted such a lengthy Narnian fic. Not to mention I showed what I believe would happen to Susan and showed my feelings on Aslan. 

2. Narnia + The Three Brothers from Harry Potter. I remember I had that idea for the longest time and was so surprised no one had thought of it before. It was actually a passing thought I had of Susan as the Third Brother that inspired the whole edit.

3. My Magnificent Court edit for@narnianetwork‘s first voyage. It took me forever to come up with some good stuff for Peter’s court for the origins page in that edit.

4. This request by @lasaraleen​ to use E.E. Cummings words. This was my first ever time making a gif and her idea was honestly so beautiful. I don’t know if a lot of people realized, or if I ever explained, but the gifset is suppose to be told from Susan’s point of view.

5.I have a three-way tie for my last fave edit between the Arthur Miller, Hamilton, and Humpty Dumpty edits regarding Susan (wow I do a lot of Susan edits don’t I?). The Arthur Miller one captures my interpretation of Susan & Aslan’s relationship perfectly. I’m probably one of the few that doesn’t really forgive Aslan for what he put Susan through (you’ll have to pry unforgiving!Susan from my dead hands tbh). The Hamilton one was the first time I worked with textures. The lyrics fit perfectly for how C.S. Lewis saw Susan’s journey too. And finally, the Humpty Dumpty  was the first time I started really experimenting with different brushes in photoshop. 

Top 5 other fandoms:

1. This Alice Kingsley one from my old blog. That was one of my first edits I was really proud of so it holds a special spot.

2. The Merlin Gang + different song lyrics that I thought fit them. I still love the simplicity of it.

3. My favourite Sailor Scout edit for my “What’s in her closet?” series from my old blog @warriorqueen-s​. I just love everything about the finished result and I feel like it captures Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter perfectly. (Who knows? I may start this series up again here). 

4. The Monkey D. Luffy aesthetic set. I loved the end result with the colours and the pictures. It just feels like it has the fun Luffy vibe to it.

5. Zeno + note to self. This was the first time I did an anime gifset and doing it for my favourite Akatsuki no Yona character was a bonus. Zeno deserves all the happiness in the world.

Hey moh physically fight me. I can’t handle the amazing ness of that gifset

😊😊😊 I can’t fight you because you’re always so nice to me! Honestly you’re one of the sweetest people on tumblr ever! Thank you so so so much!😄

Really though, you’re comments (both in your own tags and my inbox) are the nicest things to read so thank you so much for being so kind!😊😊😊

This edit was so much fun to work on. I’ve literally had that idea in my drafts for like over a year and then I finally got around to making it earlier this week. It’s one of my favs just because I love how it turned out in comparison to some of my other gifsets.

[hauntedthief]

Reepicheep? And Zoro? (I know, two names, but I can't resist) and (You're sick too?? Hope it isn't too serious!)

Reepicheep

who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favourite 

Zoro

who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass (definitely) | my baby | hot | want to marry | favourite (there should be an option for dumbass though, just saying) 

(Yeah I am! Got sick yesterday morning before my flight back😓 Luckily wasn’t during the trip)

Put a fictional character in my ask

[hauntedthief]

Where do you find the images for #narniaaz?

I mainly get the images from my Pinterest here. 

I try and tell the stories of the characters through their pictures so I look at their descriptions on Wikipedia & the Wiki and go from there.

i.e. For Alberta Scrubb, on the wiki it says the windows are always open at the Scrubb household hence the open window picture for her. 

Once I’ve got the idea of what pictures I want to try and find, in Pinterest I’ll either have a picture already saved in one of my boards or I’ll search up using specific words.

i.e. For Alberta Scrubb I searched up “old radio”. A neat trick when using Pinterest is to type in “photography” or “aesthetic” after what you’re searching to get the aesthetic type of images. I did the same with “open window photography” for the second image.

I also use screencaps from other films/shows if I think the scenes being portrayed work for one of the Narnia characters.

i.e. For Belisar, on the wiki it states how Miraz had him and another Lord shot down by arrows during a hunting party because of their loyalty to the late King Caspian IX. Because of this I ended up using a screenshot of Boromir being shot by arrows from The Lord of the Rings films.

Hope that helps!

[hauntedthief]

Look here babe we have a problem because I want to compliment you but there are no words in the English language complimentary enough for your amazing skills

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you so much!

You have no idea how much your words mean!!!! I seriously got such a big smile reading this ljfalsjdflafjalfj

(I’m so sorry for not responding earlier! I promise I’m not ignoring you! I’ve just been really busy with exams and I haven’t been online as much💞)

[hauntedthief]

Your a-z narnia character series is so pretty! I love that you're making them for the minor characters too

Thank you so much!!! It’s honestly so much fun to make them. I actually have a bunch already done and queued up while I study/write my exams for this week and next week.

At first I was only going to do one character for each letter but reading through the list of characters on the wikipedia page got me inspired to make edits for the other lesser known characters as well. Not to mention it was really hard for me to choose only one character for each letter. Like how could I choose between Aravis and Aslan for A? Or Peter and Polly for P? It’s just not possible.

Also reading through the list of characters I forgot just how many minor characters there are, since I haven’t read the series in ages. Like Alambil or Zardeenah. Making Alambil’s edit was so much fun and it’s definitely one of my favourites so far.

[hauntedthief]

Thank you for #narniaz it's amazing! And inspire.

AFJLFJSFJS thank you so much😊 

I know I haven’t posted one in like a couple days but I’ve just been tied down with assignments and tests. Hopefully I’ll be able to start the series back up by Friday!
