#no pressure if you don’t wanna!!!

[cavillscurls]

hey so this is just a reminder that your one shot doesn’t have to have smut to be “good.” every chapter of your series doesn’t have to have smut to be “good.” your smut doesn’t have to be kinky smut to be “good smut.” you’re allowed to participate in fandom and fanfiction without ever writing or engaging with smut if that’s what you desire, and i promise it’s still just as valuable.

10 people I'd like to get to know better!

However many people I can think of that I'd like to get to know better, that I haven’t already seen tagged!

Thank you @harleybaby for the tag <3

A song you currently have on repeat rn?

-hmm. I haven’t had a specific song on repeat in a minute.

I think the last song I was listening to on repeat was Broke Ass Kid by Dylan Wheeler

but I have a go to playlist called ‘Gay-Elite’ and it has The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan, Now That I’ve Been Honest by Maddie Zahm (if y’all don’t know my girl Maddie you’re missing out- particularly if you’re a religious trauma homie), Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish (I admittedly skip Billie pretty often bc I’m normally in the mood for something upbeat), Snow Angel (Deluxe) by Reneé Rapp, and a bunch of shit by Fletcher. I think I just added a random Fletcher playlist to this one with a good range of her songs.

Your current hyper-fixations?

-hmmm not really any hyper fixations going on at the moment? but all of my attention has been spent on this blog and Christmas 😌

Favorite colours/aesthetics rn?

-Fall. I love fall color pallets so much. burnt orange, navy, sage green, mustard yellow, black, etc, etc

An album you will never get tired of and has no skips?

-trafoamp by Chappell and Stick Season by Noah Kahan

Dream date with your celeb crush?

-uhhh I keep saying Chappell is my wife?? I don’t think I really have any celebrity crushes, never really have 🤷

but I’d love to get to hang out with chappell and do literally anything. she seems like she’d be really good at thrifting.

A YouTube video you will forever watch?

-I don’t have any specific videos I can think of, but I always love Good Mythical Morning, Safiya Nygaard, Brittany Broski, and recently I’ve found Santagato Studios!

Something you're looking forward to?

-dndjwjw the trips i posted ab the other day!! christmas!! going to atlanta to do festive christmas things! going to Tennessee for new years!! also im having a lil baby friendsgiving with my homies on friday 🥰

the sandra lynn / fig conversation is driving me Insane. fig saying that sometimes she doesn’t wanna exist as herself at all…not wanting to ask her friends how they see her (because she’s afraid to hear their response) saying that to someone she is a monster and she Cannot stop thinking about it. sandra lynn starting the conversation saying she needs to step up but is also simultaneously taken aback about what fig expresses and doesn’t know how to responds to it and suggests getting ice cream. sandra lynn saying “convincing people they deserve good things is really tough” talking about herself but how it also reflects fig. insane!!

I’m convinced the squad is at a constant state of anxiety when Casey gets a passionate streak and goes for a perps throat without regards for the potential damage her career could take- this woman is about justice at any means necessary- if that means screw the rules and do it Alex Cabot made up search warent style- then that’s that-

It’s probably gonna go something like this-

Elliot:..

Olivia:…

Munch:…

Fin:…

*Cragen walking in a noticing the silence.*

Cragen, anxiously;..Who’s Novak trying to indict now..?

Fin, stressed and sarcastic : Munches favorite people.

Elliot, rubbing his temples: She’s indicting the US army for r@pe and murder.

…

Cragen, choking on literal air: I’m sorry, she’s WHAT.

Munch: it’s about time someone took initiative- back in the day there wa—

Fin, stressing: DON’T START JOHN- NOW IS NOT THE TI—

*He nervously fidgeted with his coat as he stood on the front steps, the letter he’d received a week ago still in his pocket. It’d been so long since Scout ghosted him randomly, and all out of the blue Scout invites him to his..house? It was shockingly nice, it was almost hard to believe that he owned this place but he supposed that in such a long period of time it was possible for someone to change. He sighed as the amount of time he’d just been standing there sunk in, and he knocked on the door.*

-@eye-of-teufort

*Scout was just anxiously waiting at the dining table. He was seated in the chair facing the hall towards the front door, making sure he wouldn’t miss the knock of probably the most important visitors he’s expected. His leg visibly bouncing up and down as he bit his lip with worry. What if he didn’t bother reading the letter? What if he never wanted to see him again? What if he hated him? What if-*

Knock knock

*oh shit- oh shit oh shit oh my god. Scout’s head goes faster than his body for once. Staring straight at the door, practically frozen in place. Oh lord oh lord I gotta do this- he quickly rips himself out of the chair, stumbling towards the door. Loud thumping and clear sounds of things falling can be heard from inside, a silent “ah crap!-“ can be heard. Then sudden silence before some muffled shuffling and the door handle turning.*

“….hey”

*a softly panting scout is seen at the door. Looking somehow younger despite knowing years have passed instead of rewound. Long hair, a simple sweater and a pair of slacks, but it was obviously him. His face never changed. He’s just staring at you. A small smile hiding on his face, feeling it isn’t the time to make it into a happy reunion, figuring your feelings weren’t mainly happy in this moment.*

[hplonesomeart]

Hey!! So turns out a video I made between a certain “well beloved but highly sensitive/emotionally reactive T.V” and an “orange haired inkling-turned-human” has managed to sweep my YouTube channel and accumulate 100k VIEWS!! THAT’S A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY?? My most widely viewed video EVER to exist in this moment in time?? AAAAA?? Not even mentioning the various comments and staggering increase in subs! It’s so much more then what I expected or even prepared for—might even be the most impactful thing to happen for me this year <3

…aside from graduating high school + the social connections I’ve been fortunate to make lol

BUT THE POINT IS I’d been closely monitoring the YouTube growth through the entirety of October. It’s make me smile like a dork, gawk in astonishment, dance frantically in my room from the energy boosts, and grow courage to stop being so selective/self-conscious with what I wish to share with the world! It’s kept my ambitions going!

I needed to find some way to celebrate the occasion and express my thanks—because I can’t NOT acknowledge this milestone jksjskp. Typically I try to avoid getting tunnel visioned focusing on the metrics/numbers. Mr. Puzzles had already demonstrated how much those things can mess with the minds of creatives. Caring too much about chasing views or placing your artistic value in attention seeking gets damaging. But at same time…it’s hard to deny the sense of pride the 100k achievement has filled me with. I understand that reaching 100k views doesn’t immediately make me any “better” or “worse” then I was before. I’m still just me! It only helps me feel seen by others—and that’s all I really needed. To hear some nice words & receive reminders that my ideas are cared about. So thank you SMG4 fandom for that, seriously thank you.

Please accept this Mr. Puzzle drawing as a way of sharing the happiness around. He’s so entertaining. Love him for simply existing. So glad we can all collectively be super attached to him (and the rest of the SMG4 cast of course). Can’t wait to see more incredible artworks from the fandom :)

Just incase anyone is confused by my vague description over which “animated video” I’m referring to here—hopefully this photo will help clarify lol. It’s this one!! Sorry about not outright stating the title at the start, I got carried away with writing!!

I’ve been in an odd place mentally when thinking about it. Wondering to myself if any of the attention is deserved considering it’s not even fully colored and could be dismissed as “low effort” content (despite taking several days making it). It’s easy to get into a trap of comparing yourself to others and questioning how much of the videos success is based on your skills, sheer algorithm luck, or only because you used popular characters and catered to a specific fandom. And then judging yourself by looking at other peoples videos. I’ve seen several artists post higher quality works then my own but it somehow gets less views. So why did mine succeed when others (who should have gotten just as much attention if not more) didn’t? Sometimes you feel like you’ve unfairly robbed them of that chance to be seen. However I’ve realized that I can’t ever expect views to be consistent—and comparing is pointless. So why worry about it or feel inadequate? I mean it’s pretty common for funny cat videos to go viral, so who am I to question the system lol. “Popular” YouTube videos can range from a passion project which took 7+ artists…to a clip of Toad singing Chandelier or a nonsensical Vine sketch. Anything can happen when it’s the internet! And just-so-happened my video was chosen. I should stay glad about that and get rid of all the overanalyzing. So that’s what I’ve chosen to do :)

I was torn between doing this or the “give me six characters that remind you of me and I’ll draw them” one (I’m probably gonna do that after this) but yeah I wanna draw mutuals ocs, so mutuals, just reblog this with pictures of your oc and I’ll draw them-

I’ve been in a bit of an art slump lately, and I’ve kinda been needing something new to draw, and I enjoy drawing other peoples characters, so I figured it’d be fun to draw ocs of mutuals-

[a-bucket-in-the-void]

psst mutuals send me a reference for your sona or something, i wanna try drawing some of you guys :]

[nothoughtsonlytrance]

Not sure if this is gonna get any traction lol but I thought I’d try anyway.

So I’m thinking of vlogging on my YouTube channel and wanted to start by doing a Tumblr Q+A. It can be questions about life, interests, hobbies, Dan and Phil (anything really)! Just put the questions in the reply and I’ll see if I can make a video out of it bc I really wanna try vlogging!

Oh, and my YouTube channel is nothoughts_onlytrance if you wanna check it out beforehand lol

ask away! Can’t wait to see ur questions!

[nerves-nebula]

Trying to find youtube videos from people who live in tropical and sub tropical climates talking about living there cuz that’ll be helpful for writing about vulgaris but all I’m getting is a bunch of tourist expat bullshit. Which can be helpful I guess since they’ll be talking about things that would jump out to me as someone who also doesn’t live in one of those regions. HOWEVER tourist shit can only go so far, and I have to take most of what they say with a grain of salt

Anyway, if you live in a climate like that and wanna share so that I know how to properly clothe my characters & design my buildings or something hit me up or drop a rant in the replies or smth. I gotta start studying for my final tomorrow tho so imma do a quick self ban from tumblr

Hi! I have read a lot of LIAB and I loved it but it was honestly getting a bit too much for me and I had to stop reading cuz I was way too lost in the depressive feels. Your writing is so brilliant though!

I was just wondering how you think Azula would feel if she saw Zuko’s scars? I’m not even sure if you’ve already written this as the story continued or if you plan to soon and so won’t be able to answer, but the thought intrigues me!

haha yeah I have had NUMEROUS people say they started LIAB & couldn’t finish because it got to be too much, which is totally fine!! That’s why I love fanfic because there’s so many options for what different people wanna read. When I started liab I wanted to write a really dramatic emotionally dark and tragic love story - which I know some people aren’t into haha especially with how it’s written. (It was my first time writing ive learned a lot haha)

Seriously though! Thank you so much for complimenting my writing!!<3

ok that’s so crazy you asked this because we’re just at the part in the story where azula will be in the same city as zuko. But in ANY liab situation, I do think her initial reaction would depend on if she was prepared to see zuko or not and how much she knows about where he’s been.

Azula doesn’t enjoy not having control over people and situations- and we all know that when azulas not having a good time no one else is either. So if zuko pops up alive and she’s not expecting it I’m sure she’s going to be annoyed

But no matter what, I do think seeing his scars would surprise her, whether she expected them or not the sheer destruction that was done to zukos body would shock anyone. That’s also her brother, like she knows him he’s not just some extra in the background. she grow up with him and watched him throw tantrums and whine about his mommy and they played in the garden sometimes - & yeah she was prepared to see the SCAR but not all the Scars.

Since she’s rarely caught off guard I think her initial response would be to say something mean and clever to try and overcompensate for the shake in her voice and tremble in her hands. I’m sure she’d have a physical reaction - elevated heartbeat wandering eyes increased breathing but she wouldn’t wanna give zuko the satisfaction of catching her off guard (especially not if she thinks he’s working with his uncle to overthrow her)

she’d play it off but I think it’d haunt her, even if she had zuko in her clutches as a prisoner or ally his scars would stick with her. she’d see them in her dreams and when she closed her eyes, they’d burrow into her consciousness and if she starts to mentally unravel in liab like she did in canon and I’m sure zukos scars would be a significant part of pushing her into that insanity. Especially if she doesn’t know what the fuck happened to her brother lol. sorry I started rambling! I hope I answered the question lol! Thanks for the ask!!
