How did you do it? How did you get to me?

[smiletimeisrunningout]

here's a fun thing, the whole 'I've written with marvel characters for 10 years and now my creativity is exhausted' actually is more like: I've written with aos characters and minor characters and ocs and canon female characters but I barely if never interacted with Tony, Steve, Thor and Loki, and now I'm not entirely sure I can say 'I still want to roleplay with those four and other very rare exceptions' because it will legit just come off as me ship-hunting

[vulcajes]

Narcissa Black headcanons? (If you haven't done them already)

UGH MY LITERAL WIFE 🫶🫶

How I view her:

Queen. Icon. Legend. Mother. The best to ever exist. She was too cunty for this world. Deceptive, charming, and witty; she was born for pureblood politics and society. Very people-smart and a natural secret finder, could find out anything about anyone and use it against them for what she wants. But nobody believes she'd ever do that because of how charming and sweet she seems, even people who have been on the receiving end of her manipulation forget about it easily. Just generally good at playing games: games with people, mostly. But games, nonetheless. Still, her sweetness isn't just for show and she's an absolute darling to those she cares about. Would never actively harm someone without having a reason behind it and would never do anything to harm her family. I could yap about her for centuries, I fear.

My fave hcs:

The most popular girl from first to final year. Beloved by everyone, teachers and student alike.

Above average student but didn't excel in anything except charms (her fave and her best, top of the class)

Wanted to go into acting (specifically theatre) as a child but knew it wasn't possible

Was everyone's go-to for when it came to hair and makeup advice, and she was fucking good at it

Natural blonde who dyed her hair black

Epitome of the 60s "It Girl" from her clothes to her hair. Everyone wanted her or to be her.

Never played quidditch but secretly enjoyed the sport (would've been good at it too)

Her entire family's favourite (siblings, cousins, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents) and considered the best example of a pureblood girl

A really nice laugh. Idk why but she has a gorgeous laugh that's so soft and polite, hand covering her mouth. Her face doesn't wrinkle when she laughs either. How.

Doesn't necessarily believe in Voldemort but definitely has some pureblood supremacist beliefs from childhood.

My fave ships:

Lucissa — I mean... cmon now. So unbelievably cunty. They are the epitome of cunt. I love them. Hot take but they actually loved each other very much.

Nobleflower — oh my god so much potential. They're so doomed lovers. They make me sick. And then her sister TORTURED HER EX LOVER AND HER HUSBAND ?!?!?!?!? Evil.

Sunflower — this is just one entirely indulgent. I think James would be OBSESSED with her. She's such an it-girl. He would be down horrendous. Secretly, though. Wouldn't want Sirius to know.

Narlily — listen... in a muggle au... it'd work so well. Rich, posh girl and a smart, working class icon so so yummy. Lily who speaks her mind so loudly and willingly and Narcissa who's used to being silent for survival... let's go lesbians

Emcissa — best friends to lovers? I think so. Emma and her bond over quidditch (she's the only one who knows about Narcissa's love for it) and also they kiss. They're so it girls and they kiss so so much. Yay.

[real-total-drama-takes]

Can you rate the Courtney ships mod courtney? Obviously there’s like a million but the more well known ones (gwen, heather, cody, scott, emma rr, bridgette, etc), i want to see your faves

Ok!

Gwourtney - 10/10 the definition of a yuri situationship. I love gwourtney in that context. Well, and every context. I love gwourtney but it’s so unserious. It’s hard for me to look at gwourtney and think that they’ll last longer than a week bc they have different opinions of eternal sunshine of a spotless mind or some bullshit

Duncney - 10/10 I have a huge soft spot for duncney. I shipped it when tdi was first coming out and i still love it to this day. I have so many thoughts about duncney i could write paragraph after paragraph about it. It was not handled well in canon i will be the first to admit that but i just. I lvoe it. Being 9 and watching the duncney kiss live on tv was just. Ugh. You had to be there ok. I get ppl not shipping it or even liking it bc eugh it gets bad but in a time pre-TDA you have to understand it was 🔛🔝

Heathney - 1000/10 MY FAVORITE!!! heathney solos. Heather and Courtney are just perfect together. They’re both a little evil and I love that for them. They would take over the world. They’ve both got strategy-oriented mindsets and they’re both super critical but in very different ways. Heathney is the best of opposites attract and great minds. Heather and courtney have so much to bond over. I have so much more to say but I don’t want to write a whole book here lol

Scottney - 10/10 scottney is good. I don’t love it though. It really feels like an afterthought in tdas. If there had been real effort into developing their relationship, it could have easily been amazing. I will say I love how so much of tdas is Duncan kissing gwen & being like “DO YOU THINK COURTNEY IS WATCHING?” And Courtney’s too busy dating an idiot ginger who eats dirt.

Bridgney - 10/10 Bridgney my beloved. I’m really big on friends to lovers as a trope. Mutual pining on your best friend is just. Oh god its so good. It’s such a rarepair though and i get it, since a lot of other courtney ships are more “dynamic”. But bridgney is so good. I feel like it’s the ship courtney would feel the most “peaceful” in. And courtney would nudge bridgette out of her comfort zone. And i love that for them.

Emmaney (courtemma?) - ?/10 i like Emma/courtney bc i kin courtney and i have a crush on Emma. I think they would be very competitive in a relationship though and that could easily get out of hand tho. I could easily see them hooking up when they’re in law school lol. I never read Emma/courtney fics tbh if anyone has any recs send me them

Courdy - ???/10 where did courdy come from? Courtney deserves better than cody she’s so slay and hes so cringe

Justney (justin/courtney) - 10/10 honestly I feel like this one is criminally underrated. Justin’s crush on courtney in TDA is really cute. The fact that likes her because she’s a strong competitor & is deeply fascinated by her is just… I really like it. It feels like justin appreciates courtney for who she is and loves how unhinged she could be. In this regard they actually have a lot in common and I think Courtney would really like him if she gave him the time of day lol

Alecourtney - 10/10 another one that’s slept on tbh. I like aleheather dont get me wrong but i could easily see Alejandro falling for Courtney’s completely unhinged side. And when courtney said she’s Alejandro’s “gal” its just. It’s cute ok. Don’t come at me.

If you guys want my opinion on any other courtney ships, send me them! I love talking about courtney and all her girlfriends/boyfriends/etc and I’m a huge multishipper so I love everything

[hyperfixated-fan]

Here is some of those wonderfully nostalgic girly-girl shows in vague order in which I watched/discovered them that no one asked for but I’m giving to you anyways.

1. First up, we’ve got the Horseland

Back in the day, I was a major horse girl (a part of me still is), but this show was so awesome and adorable. It’s just a bunch of gals riding their horses and hanging out at the barn. And their horses and other animals talk amongst themselves. It is all an animal lover like me could want. It’s just so cute and gives sweet life lessons. And occasionally, I found it interesting that they do touch upon some serious topics such as eating disorders and loss. The episode “Mosey” always makes me cry. All the episodes are on YouTube.

Overall, I have to say my favorite character is Alma Rodriguez.

2. LEGO Friends

The first generation of LEGO Friends is nostalgic, but I also seriously love the LEGO Friends: Girls on a Mission. It’s just a bunch of teenage girls getting up to shenanigans and being besties (Oddly, though they are high school age, we barely see them in school XD). I particularly enjoy Girls on a Mission (the episodes are on YouTube) because the episodes were so well put together and it fleshes out each girl a bit more uniquely. It’s a genuinely fun show though I generally am partial to LEGO shows. I am personally not a fan of latest generation of LEGO Friends. I’ve watched a few episodes and it’s just blegh. It might be the nostalgia talking but I just can’t get into it.

My fave character has always been Emma (she’s so adorable) and my fave ship is Emma x Ethan in the Girls on a Mission iteration.

3. Barbie Movies

Not sure if all the movies are pictured above, but there’s a good portion of them. I admit, I haven’t seen all of the Barbie movies (especially the good old classics mainly due to animation that did not age well so sorry) and did not really become a fan until later than most little girls. However, I still find the movies to be very enjoyable and cute. I think a lot of my affinity comes from many familiar Canadian voice actors being in most of the movies and I find it fun trying to pick out familiar voices.

A few of my personal favorite movies are “Princess Charm School” (it’s the first Barbie movie I ever watched with one of my best friends), “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” (so many voices and characters to listen to and try and remember), and “Mariposa” (I am rather partial to the voice of Chiara Zanni and loved her playing Barbie).

4. Ever After High

It is so sad that Ever After High ended after Epic Winter. I really wish we got to see more. I loved the imaginative twist on fairytale characters and the whole “facing your destiny” storyline. The princesses, knights, dragons, and wonderland were all great components as a lover of fantasy. Disney Descendants ain’t got nothing on Ever After. It was a very creative show and it was interesting to see all the characters that would pop up.

A few of my favorite characters are Rosabella Beauty, Ginger Breadhouse, and Lizzie Hearts. Call me basic but I really do like the ship Darabella (obviously the execution of it could’ve been better but I still like it.)

5. Miraculous Ladybug

Simply put, this show is a mess. Miraculous Ladybug barely made the list only because I have fond memories of it. I’m not caught up on any recent events and admittedly quit watching it after season 3 or 4 (I don’t exactly remember). The show had potential and many amazing fanworks, but after a while, the episodes just get repetitive. I still like the earlier seasons before things got too messy. As a lover of side characters, I also wish they fleshed out the side characters a bit more instead of keeping on creating more and more side characters. I still occasionally pop in to see what is going on and apparently Nathalie is dead?! Idk what’s going on and I love looking at spoilers with no context because it makes the show all the more funny.

My fave character list includes Alya Césaire, Nathalie Sancoeur, and Juleka Couffaine and I’m partial to the ship DJWifi.

6. Monster High

Since I was a fan of Ever After High, it was only inevitable that I would eventually become a fan of Monster High. It took a while but I eventually did fall in love with the show. And I fell hard. All the characters are so unique and while I absolutely love all the generation 1 content, I do not completely hate the g3 series. I loved the message of standing out yet belonging at Monster High, freaky flaws and all. The animation is very dated yet endearingly nostalgic at the same time. I love all the different twists on various monster creatures.

My favorite characters list gets pretty extensive, as I love g1 and g3 Abbey Bominable (I always love an ice queen), along with g1/g3 Cleo De Nile (bc she’s your typical mean girl/diva but truly cares for her friends), Robecca Steam (her steampunk aesthetic and little accent are adorable), Deuce Gorgon (a kind yet popular jockish character is rare), Jinafire Long (Chinese dragon is always a win), and Rochelle Goyle (she’s just neat).

Fave ships = Cleuce (CleoxDeuce) and AbbeyxHeath. I just love them okay!

7. Lolirock

I believe I discovered this show coming off of Storm Hawks and Steven Universe so the crystal motif and everything was already an intriguing concept for me (plus familiar Canadian voice actors drew me in). I just love the trio of girls trying to “secretly” protect earth with sparkles and spells while putting up the front of being a girl band (the songs are very catchy by the way if you can get past an ungodly amount of auto tune). The episodes gave me vibes similar to Miraculous Ladybug but somewhat better with less convoluted characters. Overall, it’s a very bright energetic show and I wish they would’ve delved into the backstories of the other princesses a bit more instead of focusing on Iris all the time. Here’s to hoping they eventually do come out with season 3. All the current episodes are on YouTube.

My favorite characters are the sisters Izira and Talia. They have so much power and the show needs to actually do them justice.

8. Mysticons

This one is definitely lesser known than most on this list. I found it shortly after LoliRock since it has similar features and characters. It’s a very simple show with simple characters but I am fond of it still (and I’m pretty sure it made me cry at one point. I don’t remember when but I remember something about it made me emotional). The fantasy magic of the world was definitely a big win for me. I think the creators did a decent job at world building. It’s your typical prophesied heroes must save the world from certain destruction but I found the show overall enjoyable and cute with a nice dose of found family thrown in.

My top favorite characters are Zarya Moonwolf and Emerald Goldenbraid.

9. DC Super Hero Girls

I started out as a G1 fan when it was still coming out and became a fan of the reboot as well. It was interesting to all these wonderful kickbutt superheroes placed in a high school -esque setting. The original series was very average with their shorts but it was such fun to see what characters would pop up to help (I even will tolerate and enjoy the LEGO specials). The reboot had better design and animation. I am sad it didn’t get a chance to run longer. My only qualm was that some characters had such a drastic change from their backstory and original character development that it moved from being whimsical and imaginative to simply keeping the name and having an entirely different character. *cough* Jessica *cough* They don’t get that she was such a powerful Green Lantern because she was bold but because most of the time she was scared out of mind due to her past trauma but still acted and pushed through the fear to save people.

Rant aside, my fave character is Jessica Cruz despite the reboot overhauling her character and erasing her backstory.

10. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Not necessarily my favorite glittery girly series I’ve watched but definitely an enjoyable series. True to my usual form, I unfortunately did not end up caring for most of the main plot and characters. However, the idea of this show was fun nonetheless and it had its nice moments, so I’m glad it got a decent number of seasons. The magic, weaponry, and elemental powers drew me to this show. I wish they delved a bit deeper into the true effects and trauma that fighting a war would have on all of the characters as they are leaders of their respective kingdoms.

My favorite characters include Entrapta (little nerdy characters are almost always a win for me), Mermista (Vella Lovell was perfect for voicing her and her character design is nice), Netossa (another awesome blue character; if anyone’s seen Six: The Musical, does she vaguely remind you of Catherine Parr?)

Bonus: Rainbow High

An interesting premise though it ultimately falls flat for me because I am not a fashion-oriented person in the slightest. However, I still like the show and all the drama that comes with it. I just overall find it hilarious to watch the squabbles that happen because everyone is just so high strung. (Why do all the guy characters literally look the exact same with that same stupid little hairstyle?) XD

Fave characters are Ainsley Slater and Jade Hunter.

Bonus: God’s School

Greek mythology! Need I say more? This is such an imaginative show. It is even more amazing considering one guy does all the animation. The webisodes that are out are great and I definitely recommend watching them on YouTube. Zeus looks like Disney Hercules and I find that hilarious. All the character designs for the gods are so awesome and I love the details that help indicate who they are. Ignore the fact that over half of them are related in some form or another and everything is fine.

Fave definitely has to be Athena! (…bad*** in the arena. Unmatched witty and queen of the best strategies we’ve seen.)

Bonus: Tinkerbell

These are just cute adventures. I wish the series could’ve continued so we could’ve gotten movies highlighting each of the fairies.

My fave is Silvermist.

Bonus: Steven Universe

I personally enjoyed this show and know it had a large fan base so I don’t get why so many people are going back and hating on it so fervently. It’s a flawed show like any but it still has it fine points and I have a soft spot for it. I heavily debated on whether this qualified for a magical girl show but I think it does. It’s nice seeing Steven grow alongside the gems and it’s a good show to put on in the background.

My favorites have to be Garnet and Sapphire.

Honorable mentions that I never fully watched but seem nice:

My Little Pony - I’m disappointed in myself for never getting into this show because it has all the right points for me to like it, including great Canadian voice actors and magic and ponies. I have watched some episodes and enjoyed them but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sit through and binge the entire show.

LEGO Elves - watched some but I never got truly immersed.

Totally Spies! - never really gave it a go but it seems okay.

Winx Club - I tried to like it but the characters just didn’t hit for me.

W.I.T.C.H. - watched the first few episodes but nothing made me want to continue.

[terapsina]

Who is your favorite example of gradual Enemies (or Rivals (or Adversaries)) to Reluctant Allies to Friends to Lovers Ship?

(though most times that last one is only achieved in my dreams... sometimes that third one is also just semi-achieved)

[idyllking]

What are your ouat ships and why?? Tell me all about it!

Okay so there's a bunch of them but I'll just mention my faves.

Swanqueen is my otp. They are married and in love in my head.

DragonQueen is also a ship that I love. Jilted exs if you ask me

RedBeauty. Listen I have a vision. Beauty and the beast. It's right there (I know Rumple exists, I just pretend he doesn't sometimes)

I ship just about any combo of Emma x Regina x Ruby x Maleficent x Belle. Even Poly ships. I just love the different dynamics you can make with them.

I am a multishipper all the way

I have like probably 1 het ship. Majority of them are Sapphic.

Listen I could rant about Ouat all day (twas my first fandom) but I'll keep this short.

[atinycelery]

We're obsessed with only child, middle child, eldest child aesthetics so let's list them in terms of ✨The Ships ✨

1. Kaz Brekker and Inej Ghafa

Youngest child - only child

2. Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carlyle

Youngest child - youngest child

3. Darlington - Galaxy Stern

Only child - only child

4. Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson

Only child - only child-ish

(i mean it took him abt a decade before having a younger sibling so does that count? Not sure.)

5. Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbriar

Middle child - youngest child

6. Suren "Wren" - Oak Greenbriar

Eldest child (ish?) / Only child - youngest child

Does it count when you've been separated for ages but you did kinda spend a few years with the unsister and you still care abt them a lot? Idk either

7. Henry Tilney - Catherine Morland

Middle child - middle child

8. Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy

Middle child - eldest child

9. Harriet Smith and Robert Martin

Only child - eldest child

10. George Knightley - Emma Woodhouse

Eldest child - youngest child

11. Anne Elliot - Capt Frederick Wentworth

Middle child - middle child

Okay that's it for the books ships.

Interesting when you look at their dynamics from the perspective of which child they are in the family, and it also makes sense how they act

Also interesting that Miss Austen said, justice to the middle childs let them have their own stories!! Love it xD

After listing down the Austen ships I can't wait to do one with my fave dramas and shows because my brain immediately went to Edith Crawley, my favourite middle child

But ah well for me, anyway, the science of which child you are is probably as reliable as the meyers-briggs test which I'm not sure is that reliable but still fun to discuss and think abt anyway!

Edit : as the youngest child, I do acknowledge and claim these sillies

[danganronpafan777]

Are there any dra or sdra2 ships that you like? Personally, my fave ships are Kinjomae and Satuhiko^^

I’m putting this under the cut since my opinions might be triggering for some peeps. I tried to tag everything, but I don’t really know a lot of the ship names.

I LOVE Satsuhiko sm, and Kinjomae are best divorced bfs

I also really like Terurei, but really only in SDRA2

Some other ships that I like:

Kiyoka x Mitch - The flashback in Ch6. Mitch deserves a girl that can kick his ass, and I wish we could see his offscreen character development during his time at Hope’s Peak

Akane x Ayame

Emma and Kokoro’s dynamic is cute, but I’m kinda split with the reveal of Kokoro’s actions

Kanata x Kakeru

Sora x Yuki, and Sora x Yoruko

Haruhiko x Satsuki x Teruya

Setsuka x Nikei

Setsuka x Hibiki

Setsuka x Shinji

Emma x Hajime

Also jumping aboard the Teruya x Kinji train cuz of @maxiemcsoda’s survivor au (the art is so freaking cute)

Mikado x duckie-Chan

Shinji x Yuki (PLATONIC) Brotp fr

That’s all I can really think of rn, if there’s any other ships, feel free to ask!

[konako]

did you ever see any red snowing fics??

i’m back on my ouat bullshit after about 5 years and i remember a tumblr blog along the lines of traumatising emma

i’ve read most of your fics and thegirl20’s fics again and i just need ruby lucas content

You need Ruby Lucas content, you say?

YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND.

@traumatizing-emma Is the blog to go to, for Red Snowing content, as far as I know! Here are a few of my faves.

You might also find something in my Red Snowing tag. Not much, I'm afraid, I haven't explored this trio as a romantic possibility (a... poly-bility. hah!) in a while!

You can always try my Partner In Crime's blog: @lovecanbesostrange.

Kat is every bit as unhinged and as obsessed with Ruby Lucas as I am — make no mistake! —, the only difference is she has the decency to keep her spiraling off main. Plus her blog has considerably more variety, while I'm a one-track-mind gal. She's also the MAIN CULPRIT behind some of the MOST devastating Red Snow feelings one can have.

Check her Red Snow tag(s) for the complete experience. But for the more polished (published) pieces, let me interest you in her AO3 work:

Four times Snow is on top and one time she isn't

I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free

Keep you safe and warm

But if it's Red Snow pain that you're after, then Safe Cage is your destination. Look no further. This story might break your heart. (Red Queen is the romantic ship, btw!) I have had several meltdowns about Safe Cage. On main. Look the other way.

If Ruby Lucas Meta is more your speed, check out my maniacal rants tag. But also look out for Kat's tags under any Ruby post!! Some of the best commentary in the business!! The brain in that skull should be studied, but wait until I give back the single cell I borrowed.

Short Fics Inspired by a tumblr post? Or fics to dive into for longer? @foxofthedesert is your person! Their writing has a fantastic, rich flavour I can't get enough of. Seriously, this author has put together sentences that have made me gasp. You want to read something you can taste, smell, hear and picture? Read their work. We're blessed to have them!

Also, back when I was being unjustly blamed for getting people to watch OUAT again, I listed a few of the people in the fandom that were also responsible for the collective relapse. You can check them out. I'm sure they remain a gateway drug into the OUAT world, even in 2024.

I do have more recs for you, depending on your specific needs! But since you mentioned Red Snowing first, I tried to stay in that general area. Feel free to reach out again, if you need something else. I'm always here to help. I can't leave. I'm stuck.

[smiletimeisrunningout]

also yes due to having very restricted time to rp, I am giving priority to people I've already built an ic relationship with, to feelsy things, and EASY things that don't require too much thinking, though when I have the time I'll get to all drafts because I'm eager to write! Longer threads that aren't shippy will likely take longer, though, as they usually require more thinking and responding to more pieces of dialogue!

(for a split second I thought I'd look for a way to put my elf oc in historical fandoms and modern fandoms too but it's important to her characterization that she's an oppressed minority and besides the fact that I'm not touching that in rp, it took me an even smaller amount of time to realize there is NO WAY I'm reading real world history in my spare time or any other school subject besides what I'm directly tutoring, my efforts will go in reading details I've forgotten about videogames I played and that's it, so that's where my brain is at.)

It's Monday, so:

-besides having lunch in one hour, I'll be preparing for tutoring for the next four hours, and take constant breaks to do drafts/answer to memes and messages so that I can keep my concentration high -this means that ALL interactions are welcomed if you don't expect an immediate response, and in fact they are encouraged! Spam askbox, ask me to rp or to plot, like starter calls etc etc -after that I'll be gone for a couple of hours, then I'll be here but tired.
