i hope my misadventures aren't dissuading anyone from making their own website as a patreon alternative, when i first did this back in 2016/2017 it was actually pretty painless so most of the issues i am having right now are based on the fact that i already have a site with content and members that i don't want to lose or fuck over

more specifically i originally set it up with a service that did most of the hard stuff for me, which meant that when they changed from a free service that took a cut to a paid service that still took a cut it really fucked me

if i'd done just a teeeeensy bit more work in the beginning i would be doing much less work right now, which is the actual lesson you should be taking away from my Agonies

nothing ever excites me more than a spontaneous genshin, or more particularly, mondstadt discovery. i sat diluc upon the barbatos statue as a nice spot to go afk on without being interrupted by repetitive idle animations and voicelines (sorry diluc, this is nothing personal). my volume was turned up more than regularly by accident, and my in-game music was off despite how much i like the original game soundtrack. aNYHOW- i was about to go afk when i heard some strange noises that i didn't recall hearing in mondt before. it made me pause and turn my volume up even more. in the video above, it's kind of hard to discern the brief sounds over the noise of the wind up on the statue and in mondstadt in general, but when the wind dies down a little, you can distinctly hear voices of people, and what shocked me the most – neighs of horses. i have no clue whether it is just me discovering this only now, after 4 years of playing this godforsaken game and clearly not having paid enough attention to mondstadt's sfx before, but i still felt the need to share this terribly interesting tidbit in case there's other clueless mondstadt enthusiasts like me.

Most popular / personal favs gifsets

I did this last year and it was fun, so I've trawled through the stuff I've made this year, too. Last year I made 222 gifsets. This year 153. And honestly, most of the sets like the Seduction 101 ones were already made months prior I just forgot to post them, lmao, so they did a lot of the heavy lifting with my numbers.

Archive page link with all my gifsets~

20 in January Most popular: SandRay Happy New Year. Possibly the laziest gifset in the world...but they're so pretty. Personal fav: I'm still really fond of my MLC zodiac sets, Alan's in particular because the colours please me the most. But also this one because Khaotung fighting for his life against lettuce in the first gif is spiritually important to me.

18 in February Most popular: Seduction 101 Step 87. Personal fav: Ray Dial Drunk. Nobody saw it. Or everyone hated it. And also honourable mention to panda Khaotung because this was when I embraced my dark side and made a bunch of Chonlatee sets.

11 in March Most popular: Typecast Khaotung Thanawat. These were a lot of fun. The First one made me lose my mind. Personal fav: Honestly, the Typecast sets are my favourite, so for balance: Typecast First Kanaphan. I do wonder where Bison and Kant are going to fit. (Says as though I don't already have a description for them.)

7 in April Most popular: Seduction 101 Step 96. It's a good step. I call myself an idiot in the alt texts. Personal fav: Seduction 101 Step 94, mainly because First's hair is a paid actor and the shot of them laying side by side in the last gif lives in my head.

3 in May Most popular: SandRay Tennessee Whiskey. Personal fav: As above, really. I loved that set. The song makes me happy.

7 in June Most popular: Kieta Hatsukoi / My Love Mix-Up! scene for a scene set 2. Personal fav: Chonlatee "Music!" - cw: flashing. Lil dancy boy. It just makes me smile.

4 in July Most popular: Drake and Title in Wandee Goodday. Still haven't watched it, probably never will atp Personal fav: Latte from Knock Knock, Boys! It still makes me giggle.

13 in August Most popular: Best FirstKhaotung kisses set. I am forever grateful to the gorgeous anon that prompted it. The whiteboard on my desk still has all the timestamps for all of the kisses. I never want to erase it. Personal fav: The kisses set is absolutely my favourite, but the rain scene from The Trainee still gut-punches me. Also Khaotung fucking Thanawat.

15 in September Most popular: The arsey watermark gifset I made that somehow united fandoms. Wild time to be me. I'm tremendously fond of it. Personal fav: Other than the watermark one? How about the Furious Sand, which is the set I was making when I got sidetracked by the watermark one, lmao.

11 in October Most popular: OFTS Anniversary - Episode 9 Ray. Personal fav: SandRay Smoke Kiss.

16 in November Most popular: you know they nasty because the socks stay on. This made me laugh. Personal fav: Literally any of the big Kant sets. Man's captivated me. I'm pleased with the colours in this one and also the eyebrow raise / eye twitch is funny.

28 in December Most popular: KantBison slow dancing. The hands, the lean, the drugs, the little kiss... Personal fav: goo yak mee faaen! It kills me every time. But also this one. And this one. Because of science. Nod nod nod.

I don't know if anyone would want to be tagged in this. It was a tag thing last year but I'm just doing it to bring it back and it's literally NYE which I only realised like 2 hours ago, so.

That said, last year it was fun to look at everyone's favs sooo if you wannaaaaaaaa~ @chinzhilla @riggerbison @itsallaboutbl @oyeixcher @sollucets

did you ever make a post about pete not liking tankhun ? i know you mentioned it a few times in your tags but i don't remember seeing a post. (i share your opin ions.)

I definitely toyed with the idea of meta or a gifset but I didn't ever make a full post! I love unrequited love and I ESPECIALLY love the extremely rare platonic version which Tankhun and Pete absolutely nail in my opinion!

There are loads of moments where Pete's smile drops around Tankhun very quickly, or he insults Tankhun behind his back. Instead of laughing things off like Arm and Pol, he almost has a wincing fear-response to Tankhun, which we don't really see at all from the other bodyguards.

I think that Tankhun likes to think of himself as being close friends with his bodyguards, and he does genuinely show a lot of open affection for Pete and eventually concern for his safety. But I think ultimately for Pete, Tankhun is just a part of Pete's job, and over time resentment has built up until he thinks of Tankhun as one of the *worst* parts of it. I definitely don't think he resents Tankhun enough to hurt or endanger him, but that's about as far as it goes, there's certainly very little love there.

Something about that dynamic is just particularly brilliant, especially when combined with Pete's eventual defection from Tankhun's side to Vegas'. He chooses a man who has beaten and tortured him over a man who showers him in affection and throws parties on his return.

I utterly adore Tankhun but I think as a character that's grown up in a gilded cage, he doesn't really understand that what Pete needs is a sense of his own autonomy rather than being dragged to "fun" "lets cheer up Pete" parties that Tankhun has demanded on his behalf. At least with Vegas he *chose* to go back, he handed Vegas the ropes, let him lock him back up again. Even before he develops feelings for Vegas, Pete has clearly felt like a subhuman pet for Tankhun and the main family for a long, long time and I think ironically Vegas acknowledging Pete's humanity is the tipping point for him.

I think even without their nascent romantic love as a factor, Pete would always choose Vegas. Because despite the threat of suffering, he offers a sense of freedom that Tankhun's gilded cage does not. It all makes for an incredibly interesting betrayal, and makes Pete choosing Vegas over Tankhun all the more pointed. By choosing to be Vegas' pet, he chooses to be human.

hey pasta! I don’t know if someone has asked this already but is TRT gonna go into Born Again or end at season 3?

So that's where I'm not sure! The current outline is as such:

All Major Arcs (including Cyrus James/Project Beagle fallout arc and psychic abilities arcs): scheduled to wrap up a bit after the end of S3 so that Matt and Jane's arcs/development neatly dovetail together. This will mark the official end of TRT's main fic.

Special Additional Arcs (chaptered fics not attached to main fic but still TRT canon, taking place after end of main fic) in no particular order: Endgame/The Snap arc, Spider-Man: NWH arc, Spoiler Removed arc, tentative She Hulk Shenanigans arc.

Oneshot Arcs: various domestic fluff arcs, interactions with major MCU events, a 'What Their Life Is Like When Old Cause GD It They're Going To Live To Old Age And Will Have Rocking Chairs' arc, a SINGLE take it or leave it 'What If?' fic of something funny with a possible daughter cause damn I had this idea for a hilarious scene and it won't leave me alone

Now, those are what are planned in the outline, and the main event with Project Beagle tie-ins and plotlines and all of that is something I'm still planning to end just after S3 because I really do want to have a finish line for that, and I feel like dragging that all out for Born Again wouldn't work for the... events that are going to happen, without saying too much. Once that's wrapped up, that's when you're going to see TRT finally marked as 'complete' on AO3, though there'll be more fics set in that universe (see special additional arcs and oneshot arcs) that I'll mark as in the Devil and Hound series along with drabbles on tumblr.

Once we're past that official endpoint and those special arcs, though, things get fluid and murky since when I was outlining all the major plotlines, there was no Daredevil: Born Again, nor was Matt even in the MCU officially (which is why Spider-Man pops in way sooner in TRT than he meets Matt in the MCU) and I specifically set up Jane's plotline to bookend with Matt's so their growth twined together and they both finally found peace around the same time. Outside that, I'd planned some shorter chaptered stories in the series post-mainline TRT like the Snap arc that I may now adjust (since it sure is looking like Matt was left behind for the snap) but nothing on the level of TRT's main plotline which is absolutely massive and took me years to fully outline and construct before coming back from hiatus in 2021 and pumping out chapters (Happy six year anniversary to TRT on Sept 15!).

ALL THAT BEING SAID.

I do have plans to write stuff for TRT's take on Born Again because I'm 100% married to writing for Matt at this point and there's no possible way I won't want to do something once I'm being fed Charlie!Matt scenes again. I'm not sure what those plans are just yet - I kinda wanna wait and see what happens in Born Again in case it sparks something. But I also want to make sure that no matter what I do, there's some sort of strong original plotline so that, much like mainline TRT, we'll be able to weave in and out of canonical events (especially since things like the Snap or a wedding or Jane and Matt's friendship with Peter will alter canon). I don't think I'm going to do something quite as huge as TRT's main plotline again, mostly because it takes a TON of time and work, and I'm planning to take the original TRT elements and morph them into an original series fit for publishing (different enough that I can leave TRT up for everyone to read, cause at this point the fic's part of DD fandom culture and I have no plans to take that away) which will also take a ton of time. But I'm definitely rattling my brain around, looking at different plotlines I could do knowing what I know about the ending, hunting for loose ends or canonical threads that I can weave in with TRT's world and create something new!

Then again, I never would have said I'd make something as massive as TRT before I started, either, so who knows.

So in short: YES, there will be TRT events for Born Again even if it's not as elaborate as TRT! I just have no idea what those will be yet. Fortunately, TRT mainline's only a little over halfway done so I've got time to plan!
