OPEN ART CONTEST!

As you may know, I’ve been writing a story known as Hidden Beneath. It’s gotten very little traction so far (which is to be expected), so I’m going to host an art contest in hopes that it can get a little more attention!

And even if this contest doesn’t get a lot of attention either…well, that means that any competitors will have an even higher chance of winning :)

I will have three categories, with a designated winner(s) and prize for each one!

General (2 WINNERS) (PRIZE: Fully-Shaded Bust Shot)

I will choose two winners for this category! This is the basic category, where I’ll choose the art pieces that are artistically my favorite- whether it’s your artstyle, shading, posing, etc!

Storytelling (PRIZE: Fully-Shaded Fullbody)

This is the category for pieces that display specific scenes, moments, or relationships between characters! An animatic or animation would fall under this category too!

NOTE: AN ENTRY HERE SHOULD INCLUDE TWO OR MORE CHARACTERS!

This can be two characters talking, a demonstration of the relationship between two characters, a scene with two or more characters, or a comic that retells a scene from the book!

(The two art pieces below would be examples of things that would qualify for the minimum in this category! They are by Kanpekii and Alora respectively!)

OC (PRIZES: Fullbody Art Piece of OC, Remade Ref-Sheet of OC, Featured Cameo from OC!)

Make an OC for this world, following the rules given! You have full creative control over them, and if you win I will recreate a reference sheet for them in my style, do a fully shaded fullbody art piece or them, AND give them a cameo in Hidden Beneath!

RULES:

-You may enter multiple times!

-You may draw any character from Hidden Beneath!

-Aside from OC submissions, do not clarify which category you’re going for! No matter what you intended your piece to be, you may end up winning something else :)), especially if you didn’t win the storytelling section but I really loved your piece!

-Creative interpretations are loved and encouraged, even if they aren’t completely canon compliant! Seeing everybody create diverse things makes it feel like this world has a fandom <3

-Nothing suggestive or NSFW!

-Tag me in the post!

-You may include characters that haven’t been featured in the canon yet!

-You may draw art of an AU you’ve made, or species-swap characters (whether it be animal-ifying them or even Realm-swapping them!)

-Shipping is fine, so long as both characters are of legal age, not related, and not biped x quadruped! Even if I don’t ship it myself, it would make me happy to know that somebody was invested enough in my story that they started shipping two characters <3

-To me, PASSION is just as important as SKILL! Even if you aren’t a professional, if I can see that hard work went into your entry or I really like the idea you’ll have just as much of a chance!

-You don’t have to have read the story….but it’s greatly appreciated and may be helpful!

OC RULES:

-Your character can be a Draquen, Raptor, Cordelian, Florimori, or Feallis! (Note that I will likely be less partial towards Feallis, since they’re the least unique to this world). You may NOT make a dragon or Whimsical for this contest. (I don’t have enough info for dragons and I have too many Whimsicals!)

-You MAY make a hybrid, in which case they can be PART Whimsical!

-You don’t have to make a backstory / info for them, but you’ll definitely get bonus points if you do! The more attached I am to your character the more likely you are to win >:3 Design isn’t everything!

THE DUE DATE IS AUGUST 25th!

2 - 61 The Cathedral Killing

Akinator doesn't know irratino cry

omg chonkers and umbah

I was up until 3 AM writing this because... shit happened

DON'T READ THE EPISODES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS!!

Irratino has to cross the border to Drakonia. But how? He can’t just enter without an invitation. Luckily, through the power of esotericism, he finds a solution. He’ll crawl under the gate.

It’s not easy, and he gets quite injured in the process, but bodily harm is a small price to pay for finding Logico again.

At the People’s Cathedral Community Center, a bunch of people who aren’t from Drakonia wander around outside. I thought you needed an invite to enter? Irratino is especially worried about Tangerine, who seems to be following him everywhere. Or he’s just paranoid.

A dead human lies in front of the building, no surprise there. There’s also Miss Saffron and the real Officer Copper. And Chalkers! Irratino must delve deep into these people’s religions… out of sheer curiosity!

COPPER: You haven’t said a thing since you came over here. It’s freaking me out. IRRATINO: Oh… s-sorry. So… what’s everyone’s religion?

They stare at him like he’s insane.

TANGERINE: I believe in the Church. IRRATINO: Really? TANGERINE: Why is that surprising? IRRATINO: Well… it’s just hard to believe anyone believes in that Church considering who works there.

Tange shrugs. Their entire personality seems to consist of shrugging. Irratino reads a scripture on the side of the building.

IRRATINO: Latin has always been my favorite language.

It’s not Latin, it’s just scrambled letters. Maybe if he knew as much Latin as he says he does, he’d figure that out.

COPPER: Hey. IRRATINO: Hm? COPPER: Uhh… did my uh… Did the Constable manage to off Logico. IRRATINO: No. COPPER: Oh. Um… well… that’s… fine I guess. I’ll get him eventually? GO LOOK FOR CLUES ALREADY YOU IDIOT!! Look at that llama-faced wuss over there. He was chugging down so much wine! There’s no WAY he’s not a killer.

Chalk is pretending to be a statue.

IRRATINO: Uh… Chalk? CHALK: … IRRATINO: Chairman. CHALK: … IRRATINO: Hey Chalkers. CHALK: Nnnngh don’t call me Chalkers!! [cries] IRRATINO: I’m just trying to find out everyone’s religion. The prayer beads around the victim’s neck pertain to a specific belief system. CHALK: I… I… I… NOOOOOO!

He collapses.

IRRATINO: ??? CHALK: I’m an… ATHEIST. Don’t kill me! I knew the Church would kill me. PLEASE DON’T KILL ME- IRRATINO: Buddy, you’re alright.

Chalkers stares at him with a llama face and Irratino awkwardly pets his nose.

IRRATINO: Eheh. I’m [ahem] ‘friends’ with an atheist. Everyone has their own beliefs! But I have to ask, why were you on the altar? CHALK: I was pretending to be a statue. Lord Lavender says I have a statuesque figure… IRRATINO: … Anyway, Copper.  COPPER: OFFICER Copper to you, PEASANT! IRRATINO: Whatever! What religion do you belong to? COPPER: Huh. I never really thought about that. I’m kinda into the New Age myself. IRRATINO: You… what??

He tries to imagine her in a hippie outfit, and despises what he sees. He has to move on to erase that image from his head. Saffron has been strutting around the whole time, oblivious to everything. 

SAFFRON: Who, me? I LOVE the St. Lupinian Orthodox! IRRATINO: Aha! You’re the killer! SAFFRON: Got me! This whole community center is an AFFRONT to my religion! It’s been stolen from me, and turned into a den of iniquity!

It’s hard to take her seriously, as she still has a giant grin. It’s hard to take her seriously regardless.

He may be in Drakonia, but this exchange got Irratino nowhere closer to Logico. 

The end!

At least he's closer to Logico than he was for like the past ten episodes

So apparently in canon Irratino has not been checking his phone, but I had no way of knowing that and also Irratino bbg check your phone??? Like... huh???? wouldn't that be the #1 thing to do?

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

[petrichorium]

i am barging in to demand (humbly request) the shanks/pluvi lore. specifically how you met. please. i just really wanna know your vision

I am always ready and eager to talk abt shuvi lore truly i hope ur ready for So Much Yappage here 🙏🏻

The basic gist of it is I’m a lighthouse keeper and I end up kinda saving his life when the red hair pirates wreck near my island bc they didn’t listen to me LMFAOOOOO but I’ll put a more detailed account under the cut 🫣 and talking abt this inspired me to make a lil moodboard for our slowburn while i still live on my island (for a timeline it takes about two yrs for him to finally wear me down enough that im like yeah sure ill fuck u, n then abt four more yrs of us in a steadily ramping up fwb until i finally do leave w him—which is a Fraught Decision and a Whole Thing i will not get into here LOL)

It's a year after shanks lost his arm and they left the east blue, uta's with them bc the vague "uta is canon but film red is an au" thing lets me do what i want and what i want is for her to be integral to me warming up to the whole crew LOL (i have aged her up a bit tho, she's 12 here; shanks is 28, im 32ish bc again i do what i want and what i want is to age myself up KJSHDBFJKH). Anyway again im a lighthouse keeper, there's a storm brewing and i see their ship in the distance so i call them up on their transponder snail..........

I think they're coming in from a scuffle tbh, kinda intending to make landing and lick their wounds as they wait out the storm. im like hey ur Too Late and Too Far and ur gonna wreck if u try to make landfall rn. they do not listen to me and attempt anyway. it's a mess, the ship's already pretty damaged and the crew tired and in the chaos uta ends up going over—shanks jumps in after her, one armed and all, and they r swiftly separated from the ship in the storm

uta's fine enough when they wash ashore right beneath my lighthouse and shes also Loud enough that i hear her over the wind so i make the trek out and take my little pulley-lift down the cliffs and like listen. nearly unconscious man i know was one of those pirates who didnt listen to me...... i would not have bothered. but little girl soaked and sobbing and terrified clinging to him........ would be cruel not to help. so i grumble and bitch and trudge over to throw his arm over my shoulders and Attempt (w uta's "help" which is more just her bawling and yanking on his shirt, and also his help which is a bit more useful but still Not Great) to lug him back to my lil lift.

Im in like. Work overalls and a pair of grungy waders and a big ol wool sweater and a coat thrown over—real waterman chic yk—just soaked to the bone bc it’s pouring and the seawater’s doing nobody any favors, cursing up a storm bc shanks is a big fucking man and I’m very much doing the heavy lifting. Anyway he’s half conscious and drops a uh...... clearly addled “you’re beautiful” and I’m like okay dude if ur awake enough to be pulling that bullshit ur awake enough to walk better than this cmon now……….

Anyway we make it to the lift up to the lighthouse w uta just absolutely inconsolable and shanks drifting in and out of consciousness. Im taking the moment to catch my breath and steadily get more and more pissed bc she’s called him captain enough times for me to know he’s definitely the one who just Blatantly Ignored my warnings And she’s called him Shanks enough times that I’ve finally put a finger on who he is—bc one of my responsibilities as lighthouse keeper is also to warn the island of who’s approaching so I keep tabs on the more Infamous pirates of which the red hairs are so I’m even more irate LMFAOOOOOO sooooo serious I am such a cranky spinster in this selfship (even tho again I’m only like. 32 JDNCKSNKDND)

Anyway. Once the lift brings us up to the lighthouse/keeper’s quarters I help shanks to the spare room and grab him some dry clothes and he’s Out by the time I’ve showered n gotten into my own. Uta’s a bit better esp once I get her showered and dried too, she hovers near him for the first lil bit and then is spooked enough by the storm and yk her unconscious father that she ventures back out to stay w me. To help calm her nerves I decide to call into town and see if the rest of the crew has popped up (bc i know the currents and know generally where a ship like that would end up)—im decent friends w the local bartender and shes like yeah they showed up n now theyre weathering out the storm. she puts me through to beckman and he talks to uta and then he n i kinda agree better to just wait until the storm passes and then theyll come take uta and shanks off my hands

it takes like a couple days!!! the lighthouse is abt thirty mins from town but the storm's so bad the route is too dangerous for a bit. shanks remains largely unconscious for most of that; i take care of uta and she n i rlly bond during this time, in fact i let her sleep w me bc shes too flighty to sleep well w shanks.

and then she lets her fleet of uncles into my house while im tending to the light and i come back to be jumpscared by beckman and im like wow this is awful gtfo of my house take ur captain with u i want all of u G O N E 😭😭😭 i am not a people person and i do not naturally get along w men esp not. the kinda men the red hair pirates are i fear so i am very curt and quick to send them off.

it takes shanks another day or so to sleep it off n then he wakes up to a disheveled crew and a wrecked ship w them all stuck for at least a month while the ship is repaired. He only has very hazy memories of me regarding the whole ordeal and it's one of the primary reasons he comes out of it A Bit Obsessed but v much nothing concrete.......

ofc when i finally venture into town beckman points me out and shanks approaches me very eagerly n offers to buy me a drink n im like :) no thank u i would rather not do that actually pls take ur arm off my shoulders and never speak to me again JSHIBFJHB idk........ it takes a couple of other interations && watching me w uta before his Full Infatuation sets in but within the week shanks is v much enraptured and also in denial abt the romantic aspect (in his head he just wants to be friends w me bc uta adores me and i saved him; its like a funky little challenge in his head LOL)

then it's two yrs of him finding every excuse to come back "for uta's sake, shes always asking after her favorite auntie" and slowly coming to realize hes into me and then starting to be Very Obvious about it until i again finally give in. its sweet, idk hes the kinda guy in my head who falls Hard but doesn't realize until hes in the thick of it, poor Beckman who saw the entire future the moment he started asking uta about me when he woke up LMFAOOOOOO

n e way there we go 🙂‍↕️ 🙂‍↕️ i hope it lives up to ur expectations JHADBFJHB

[standfucker]

Requests are now open!

To celebrate my birthday month, requests will remain open for a few weeks or more, depending on how many asks I get. With that said, there are some rules to keep in mind

Rules

Be polite and courteous in your ask.

Please specify in your ask whether you want a drabble or headcanons. If you don’t specify, I will choose for myself.

Please specify in your ask the type of reader: AMAB or AFAB, and pronouns. If nothing is provided, I will default to a GN reader. 

Please specify whether you want a SFW or NSFW request.

I will not accept anonymous NSFW requests–they must be sent by a blog that’s over 18, with the age marked somewhere easy to spot.

Multiple requests are okay, but new people will be given priority (please don’t use anon to skirt around this–I do have work and life duties to see to as well!)

I will accept multiple-character requests, but with a limit of 5. Exceptions: when asking for general headcanons, it’s okay to request groups (E.G. “what are your headcanons for a free use situation with the Kid Pirates?”)

I will write for any character. If requesting multiple characters that don’t get along in canon (I.E. Vivi+Crocodile) I will not write for them together.

Characters must be of age (18) as of the time-skip for NSFW requests.

I maintain the right to refuse any request for any reason.

{This is not a rule, as it’s not required, but please–consider reblogging a request I’ve written for you. If you don’t reblog a completed request, I probably won’t write you a second one.}

I will not write the following kinks:

piss, scat, feet, hard vore, guro, A/B/O, intense humiliation, incest (step-incest is fine), age play (age gap is fine), lactation, pregnancy/breeding (creampie is fine).

-This list is not final, as I may discover something in a request that squicks me out. No judgment though.

Guidelines/Prompts/etc:

-Remember, specify whether you want a drabble or headcanon!

-Specify your reader and chosen blorbos!

-Specify whether you want a SFW or NSFW request.

-From there, you can think up a prompt on your own, or peruse the list to get some ideas. These are not required, but offered in case you’re having trouble thinking of a request. If you’re still struggling, feel free to throw a few kinks at me along with your preferred characters and I’ll figure it out from there, but being specific and detailed helps me out!

-I don’t mind a little or a lot of detail, but in the case the request is very open-ended and/or vague, I will fill in the blanks myself to my own discretion/preferences.

-Polyamory is okay.

-Dark content is okay.

-OCs are okay, but please link me to a description containing some information about them plus their personality. Same goes for self-ships–I need to know a bit about you before I can write you into anything.

-I will attempt to make these all consistent length, but no promises.

Preferred kinks/etc:

size difference, bondage, double penetration, anal, creampie, impact play/spanking, edging, age gap, roleplay, CNC, knifeplay, gunplay, biting, blood, threesomes/gangbang, group sex, free use, dubcon, noncon, power dynamics, toys, strap-ons, praise, light degradation, sex pollen/aphrodisiacs, drug use (weed only), monsterfucking (aka fish-men/mermaids/minks/giants/characters with monstrous features like Katakuri)

-I am open to writing other kinks, these are just what I personally like and will gravitate toward when choosing what to write for first. But I’m willing to try new things!

Prompts

(again, these are not required, just here for ideas!)

(SFW or NSFW):

-Reuniting after a long period apart -Scaring them (attempting to startle them just for giggles) -Scaring them (but they thought you were hurt) -Prank wars on the [insert ship name] -Having to teach them a new skill [what skill?] Or having them teach you a new skill. -One of you discovers the other’s secret identity -Starstruck: one of you is shocked to meet the other, who is in/famous. -Whump: one of you is comforted in the aftermath of a traumatic event [please specify] -Coffeeshop/Restaurant AU -Love confession [who confesses to whom? What were the circumstances?] -You stow away on [insert ship name]–and get discovered. [why did you stow away?] -Accidental Child Acquisition: one of you rescues a kid [insert character] and brings them back to the other for help -Monster AU: one of you is [insert monster] -Fake Dating: you have to pretend to date each other for whatever reason -Holiday Gathering: one of you brings the other to meet their loved ones, and is possibly overwhelmed by [insert family/found family/crew] -One of you stumbles upon the other one crying [what happened?] -One of you taunts the other one too many times, and the other decides to finally do something about it -Reader has [insert devil fruit] (fanmade ones are fine) -One of you discovers the other is secretly (or openly!) jealous -“You did all of this for me?” – One discovers the other has gone to great lengths for them -“YOU DID WHAT?!” – One of you does something risky. The other lets you know how they feel about it. -Your crewmates figure out your crush and try to help, with varying results. -Someone crosses one of you, and the other is not about to let it go. -“Let me do this, please.” – One of you insists on helping out despite the other’s protests. -“I’m not scared but if you are, you can hold my hand.” – One of you keeps finding any excuse they can to touch the other. -”I’ll keep you safe.” – One of you makes it clear to the other that they’ll always be protected, no matter what. -“I’m not going anywhere.” – One of you reassures the other.

Specifically NSFW prompts:

-Something embarrassing happens during sex -One (or both) of you accidentally discover that you’re really into a kink -“Just let me finish this [activity] and I swear I’ll go down on you until you cum at least three times.” -“You’re really good at that.” – One of you leaves the other a mess with how they’re treated. -They help you get over an ex by any means necessary. -“Are you trying to turn me on or are you really just that oblivious?”

blog guide !!

requests are closed, but feel free to send them in regardless. just expect them to be answered a little later !

this is (for now) an across the spiderverse blog !

please allow me up to a week to write up your asks

characters i write for :

Miguel O’hara

Miles Morales

Miles 42

Hobie (let’s go brit rep)

Pavitr Prabhakar

The Spot

Peter B. Parker

Spider-Noir

general info :

i cannot stress this enough, i exclusively write everything but fem reader, y’all got enough .

that being said, feel free to request anything else at all- when it’s not specified i will just assume gender neutral for the sake of inclusion

trans readers, non-binary, everything in between and all about is completely valid here and i’m more than willing to write about it <3

i do have a health condition that can catch me some days, so there may be times where i’m inactive but it should never be for long periods of time

feel free to get oddly specific with requests ! the more i can work with, the better

but i also don’t mind if they’re just general requests that don’t require a lot of detail

i will NOT write explicit NSFW, i draw the line at clothes being removed unless it has something to do with a prompt (e.g. seeing top surgery scars for the first time), some of these characters ages are not specified yet and i don’t feel comfortable potentially writing NSFW for minors. that is a crime.

there will be some requests i won’t obviously be able to complete for a number of reasons, please do not spam me if this is the case. if i’m willing to fulfil a request i will try my best to communicate with you if needed :]

i have the right to deny requests.

i do wanna say that i am a white guy so i can’t write from first hand experience, but if you request something that includes diversity like a specific race or cultural aspects i will try my absolute best to deliver accurate works. I’ll research to whatever extent i need to (if you don’t already give some information) so i can provide for groups of people that are seriously neglected when it comes to fanfiction and such. and please, in the future, if i ever do fuck up PLEASE hold me accountable and if you can show me what i’ve done wrong and what i should’ve done; what i can do to improve, i would be so appreciative- my goal is to be as inclusive as possible with my writing and the last thing i want is to offend any body of people.

finally, there will be types of writing i can’t do for specific characters. for example, spot, idk how tf i would write like a whole one-shot when my man is how he is now so i’d probably just have to stick to headcanons n such

what i will write :

requests can be either platonic or romantic dynamics, potentially other stuff if you have any ideas. just lemme know ! i do like to consider myself half decent at writing, i’ve studied english literature and linguistics my whole life and i love it very dearly <3 i’m going on to study english as a whole at a higher level (literature, language, linguistics, creative writing)

i'm happy to also apply these headcanons to the cc's, so transgender miguel for instance! just let me know :]

i typically write in bullet points because im a mess

x male reader

x nb reader (feel free to specify if they’re ambiguous, masc leaning or whatever if it’s relevant to the ask)

x trans reader

x cis reader

x spider reader

x mutant reader

character x reader

if you request multiple characters (which is fine <3) i’ll likely default to headcanons for the sake of ease

what i won’t write :

x fem reader .

character x character

NSFW

triggering topics (excluding canon events)

weird fetish/kink stuff :[

hate speech, everyone is welcome here

[autistic-katara]

ok finally making that writing post-

hi! i’m Ryan, or Raines_Adopted_Son on AO3. i write fanfic (mainly angst) and my inbox/dms/ao3 comments r always open for requests, here are some guidelines:

fandoms i will write for: (keep in mind i join new fandoms all the time so if theres a fandom u want me to write that isnt here that u think i like just ask, i probably forgot to update it // will say next to the fandom if ive written for it before or not)

Stranger Things (written for it before)

The Spiderverse Movies (written for it before)

The Owl House (written for it before)

Nimona (haven’t written before)

PJO/Riordanverse (including mcga and tkc // written for it before)

ATLA (including lok/the kyoshi novels // written for it before)

Heartstopper/Osemanverse (haven’t written before)

Jackson’s Diary (written for it before)

Bungou Stray Dogs (haven’t written before)

The Dragon Prince (have written but never posted)

Derry Girls (haven’t written before)

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (haven’t written before)

Good Omens (haven’t written before)

stuff i enjoy writing/specialise in:

shortish one-shots (1k-2.5k words // i would like to write longer and/or multichapter stuff, this is just my current level)

angst

hurt/comfort

heavier topics relating to mental health stuff (depression, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal characters, etc.)

queer (specifically trans) stuff

stuff i feel uncomfortable writing/am unsure if i’m able to write it but wanna push my boundaries on: (aka send me requests but theres less of a chance i’ll write it)

nsfw stuff/smut

depictions of abuse (non-romanticised obv)

depictions of SA (specifically just the recovery tho, i am NOT writing non-con)

longer fics

multichapter fics

pure fluff (idk if i’m able to write smthn w/o angst 😭)

stuff i will not write: (do not ask me to write this stuff :))

nsfw/smut of characters under the age of 15 (that being my current age // still kinda iffy abt characters 15-17 but yk)

stuff that romanticises things like SA or abuse

any ships where both a) at least one of the characters is a minor and b) the age gap is canonically 3 years or more (emphasis on canonically, looking at u punkflower antis)

incest

other stuff i wasn’t sure how to fit in:

when it comes to depicting types bigotry or hate or whatever theres some stuff i feel comfortable including and some stuff i dont (obviously in a non-romanticised way as just like part of what a character experiences):

homo/transphobia, i’m fine with including this, i am queer + trans and feel like i could sensitively depict those topics.

racism/xenophobia, i dont rlly feel comfortable writing abt this stuff given that i’m white i rlly dont think id be able to write that stuff properly like at all.

ableism/saneism, depends on the type tbh, maybe subtle ableism to an autistic character (i am autistic) and casual ableism to a chronically ill character (i am chronically ill) but other than that ehhhh

antisemitism, while i am Jewish and have experienced it myself, for personal reasons i’m not comfortable writing stuff including it, even if its subtle and not a big thing (other kinds of religious discrimination i wont write simply cause idk enough about allat and dont wanna be insensitive abt it)

thats all i could think of for that one but next thing: i dont like AUs. its not like i hate them or anything, and if i time traveled to the future and found out i learned to love them i would be ecstatic since thats more fics for me, but for some reason i just don’t enjoy reading/writing them (excluding canon divergence, i wouldn’t mind writing a fic with canon divergence // didn’t wanna put this in the hard-no section cause again its not like they’re smthn i hate or am disgusted by or anything, i just don’t find them appealing)

also if u dont know what i ship/what ships id be ok w/ writing just ask, a couple of them should be clear based on what i rb/post tho lmao (still if u gotta ask, ask)

anyways yeah thats all i could think of for now, i probably forgot smthn important so i might edit this later + lmk if u have any questions srsly id love to answer :)

WRITING  -  in  theory,  i  prefer  paras.  i’ve  been  working  over  the  past  few  years  on  cutting  down  my  writing  &  making  it  more  concise,  so  please  forgive  me  if  i  don’t  match  length.  that  being  said  --  please  don’t  feel  obligated  to  match  length  yourself.  it’s  going  to  take  me  a  while  to  get  a  reply  out  in  general,  but  that’s  just  a  head’s  up!  to  be  honest,  i  largely  anticipate  that  most  of  my  written  content  will  be  styled  as  drabbles  or  headcanons.

SHIPS-  generally  speaking  (  unless  it’s  canonically  based  )  .  .  .  i  don’t  really  like  to  begin  threads  with  established  relationships.  if  we  talk  about  it  ahead  of  time,  of  course  then  --  it’s  fair  game!  beyond  that,  i’m  pretty  flexible  when  it  comes  to  ships  -  so  long  as  it’s  chemistry-based.  this  honestly  shouldn't  have  to  be  said,  but  if  you  support  a  ship  where  characters  meet  when  one  is  a  minor  &  the  other  is  an  adult  ?  please  soft  block  me.  furthermore, 

NSFW  -  nsfw  content  on  this  blog  will  be  scarce,  if  present  at  all.  although  i  am  much  older  than  eighteen,  i  do  not  want  to  write  or  post  smut  on  my  blog.  nsfw  mentions  may  pop  up,  in  which  case  i’ll  tag  it  as  cw  nsft.  if  it  is  appropriate,  then  it  may  come  up  in  discord  -  i’m  okay  with  that  so  long  as  all  parties  do  so  respectfully  &  are  of  age.  also,  i  do  not  support  aging  up  characters  for  nsfw  material. 

MAINS/EXCLUSIVES  -  i'm  currently  affiliated  with  @mindsafe,  @herkn1fe  /  @deiikara,  @chaoslulled, & @w4rche1f.  some  ship  priority  goes  to  these  fabulous  people  because  we  talk  like we can't stop yapping,  but  honestly  ?  i  don't  mind  following  duplicates  for  the  sake  of  community  even  when our  own  writing  is  impacted.  truthfully,  i  struggle  to  articulate  myself  here.  apologies  !

TRIGGERS  -  while  i  don’t  have  any  specific  triggers,  i  do  thoroughly  appreciate  content  warnings  on  especially  violent  content  (  i.e.  assault,  abuse,  drug  abuse  ).  likewise,  i  will  tag  material  that  i  think  of  as  sensitive  –  usually  as  cw  ___.  if  there  is  something  that  you  specifically  would  like  tagged,  please  let  me  know.  i  am  happy  to  accommodate  you!  also,  don’t  perpetuate  gross  things  like  underage  stuff,  transphobia,  homophobia,  &  racism.

REBLOG  KARMA  -  i  don’t  necessarily  believe  in  reblog  karma,  but  i  will  usually  try  to  reblog  memes  from  the  source  rather  than  the  blog.  i  am  a  big  fan  of  sending  in  memes,  anyway  so  it  all  works  out.  that  being  said  -  feel  free  to  reblog  stuff  from  me!

STARTERS  &  MEMES  -  generally  speaking,  all  prompts  &  opens  are  for  mutuals  only.  you  are  welcome  to  send  in  requests  for  more  than  one,  of  course!  i’m  open  to  it  all.

THE  WRITER  -  okay!  i’m  hale  (  formerly  georgie  ).  i’m  twenty-seven,  &  i’m  psychology  graduate  student.  i'm  currently  doing  research  in  gambling  addiction.  i  have  a  tendency  to  dissociate  from  my  messages,  apologies!i  move  at  snail’s  pace,  but  even  if  i  don’t  show  activity  on  this  blog  for  literal  centuries  .  .  .  i  am  still  here!  plotting  to  return!  also  please  feel  free  to  reach  out  &  say  hi  whenever  -  i’m  happy  to  chat  out  of  character!  though  i’m  also  terribly  slow  (it  may  take  me  weeks)  with  dms,  so  don’t  be  discouraged!

I. DISCLAIMER

I do not own any of the canon characters on this blog, or their fandoms, but all headcanons not pertaining to canon belong to me as well as any ocs. I take a few liberties when developing muses, so keep that in mind as well. PSD CREDIT. HEADER CREDIT.

II. ACTIVITY

Most of the time I reply in the order of how I receive things, though there are times when I may feel like doing one type of reply over another.  Depending on the time I have, it’s likely that I’ll prioritize short responses and the stuff in my ask box and save longer responses for days when I have more time to write. This is a low-activity blog, please wait at least a week before reminding me of a reply I owe. Things slip through the cracks sometimes, but I'll never intentionally ignore anyone. Building on that, please don't constantly bug me for a reply, it's a good way to make me not want to do it.

III. FOLLOWING

Most of the people who follow me, I tend to follow back. I’m not very selective in that regard and honestly, I’m down to roleplay most things within reason. That said, on the off chance that I do unfollow or don’t follow at all please don’t take it personally. I don’t like a cluttered dash. I don’t follow personals. I don’t like drama. And usually, if I don’t know the fandom or am not well versed in it I may not follow for that reason either. If I haven’t followed back and you want to roleplay with any of my muses don’t hesitate to tell me. You could see an obvious way to do so, but that doesn’t mean I do. If I like the idea I’ll be more than willing to do it with you as long as it fits my characters!

IV. SHIPPING

I absolutely love shipping (romantic, platonic, antagonistic, all the above!!). When it comes to romantic ships unless otherwise stated all my muses are multiship. There needs to be chemistry, of course, but I'm easily convinced, lol. Some muses will be easier to woo than others, so please keep that in mind!! (Also should anyone want pre-established stuff, I’m always down to plot!! )

V. NSFW

I’m not into smut. It’s likely you will never find smut on this blog or any blog or mine. If somehow I am convinced, it would be underneath a read more and tagged appropriately. If I were to ever do it, both the mun and muse cannot be underaged. There could be allusions to sex, but likely never the act itself. I’d have to know you pretty well and be comfortable with you to even consider it.

VI. TRIGGERS

As far as triggers go… I don’t have any to speak of. As long as the obvious things like blood & gore (slasher film level stuff specifically), and sex are labeled it’ll be fine. Should you need a certain thing tagged and I don’t do it, please let me know. I read all the rules but my memory can be shoddy, so do not hesitate to remind me.

VII. EXCLUSIVES

I don’t do exclusives. I don’t personally like it that much. I don’t mind if other people do it, but I’m not comfortable doing it myself. I don’t like to limit the people I roleplay with if that makes sense.

VIII. ABOUT ME

I go by Glory. I’m 28 (29 on July 3rd and I'm an idiot that never keeps track of her age lmao). She/Her. And my timezone is EST. I work full-time and take care of my younger siblings due to my mother passing away a few years ago. As such, my schedule can be a bit hectic and sometimes I disappear for a bit, but I love roleplaying too much to stay gone for long. When I’m not doing any of that, I’m either writing original stories, drawing, or catching up on shows lol.

[hskinhome]

Barzum again, I'm gonna assign myself an emoji so I don't have to introduce myself in every request lol. Could I get a tarot reading about my timeline's Wanshi? Any spread is fine but maybe you could do some cards about wanshi on her own and one about my relationship with her? Or something similar lol. Thx in advance. -🎠

Sure thing! I’ll do two separate readings, which will be under the cut!

———————————–

I’ll do Wanshi’s timeline/life first. I’ll use my go-to spread for it!

———————————–

You (top card): Something about the kintype (character), more broad, sometimes obvious but it may still be overlooked

I got the upright Devil card, which symbolizes discontent, depression, illness, misuse of force, materialism, ignorance, overindulgence, and negative magic. Wanshi most likely struggled with mental illness, especially depression. She could have also been dissatisfied with her life in the brooding caverns, turning to things like books and other objects for comfort. Though, she could’ve gone a little overboard with how much she owned.

———————————–

Home (left card): Something about your (her) canon, can be general or specific

I got the upright Fool card, which symbolizes new beginnings, adventure, new challenges, and opportunities that are often unplanned or unforeseen. During Wanshi’s life, it’s possible that she was able to leave or escape the brooding caverns, letting her explore Alternia for the first time. However, due to her young age, she faced a lot of struggles. It’s also possible that a significant event happened at the caverns that forced her to flee, leaving her unprepared for the outside world. However, she acclimated quickly and spent the rest of her life outside the caverns.

———————————–

Heart (right card): Something fundamental about the kintype (character), something that makes you you (her her)

I got the upright Seven of Pentacles, which symbolizes a harvest to be reaped, a promise of fortune, pause, speculation, and anxiety over the future. This card can work well in combination with the former two. Wanshi’s stress about living in the caverns caused her to go out and explore, and there also could’ve been that promise of fortune, whether that be actual money, more books, or going to Beastcon like in Friendsim. However, she still had a lot of anxiety, unsure what to do and unsure what could happen. Her anxiety and yearning for adventure were the two most important things about her in your timeline, for sure.

———————————–

I’ll do your relationship next using this spread!

———————————–

Partner: the overall feelings and attitude of your partner

I got the upright King of Swords, which symbolizes a man in authority, powerful, a wise counselor, loyal, imaginative, strength, and a lawsuit. While most of these meanings don’t fit exactly as written due to both her and your castes, I can tell that she was helpful to you and was a true friend. She also could’ve LARPed with you frequently and may have been your moirail.

———————————–

Self: the overall feelings and attitude of yourself

I got the upright Five of Pentacles, which symbolizes destitution, loneliness, loss, unemployment, parted lovers, affinity through adversity, and a dark night of the soul. Still struggling to deal with Baizli’s death, you went to Wanshi for help. You took to her immediately, and she was the one to help you through your depression and struggles. It’s also worth noting that several meanings can point to you losing the “worth” of your blood color, being less financially well off, and possibly losing connections to the Clown Church.

———————————–

Brick Wall: the obstacle, what stands between the two of you

I got the reversed Six of Wands, which symbolizes fear, news of failure, delay, treachery, and disloyalty. While you and Wanshi got along well, there could’ve been some disloyalty between you two. The cause could’ve been a multitude of reasons, though the ones that come to mind are the fear of being culled, a standstill in your life goals or emotional recovery, or even interference from somebody else. Either way, things didn’t end up well, and it’s unclear whether you were able to resolve it or whether you had a true friend or quadrant break-up.

———————————–

I know this got more negative towards the end, but I hope it helps you. I really appreciate you being a “regular” on this blog, but through all your readings, all I’ve gotta say is

[wizardmaster94]

About moderating and banning content on AO3!

Okay so! I haven’t had the spoons to do this for a while but I cracked and ranted about it on twitter which is... not... conducive to long rants, so!

This is a h u g e discussion part of the l o n g history that led to the creation of AO3, which older, more informed, and more articulate people have talked about at length and can be found around if you look (I reblog some of it in my AO3 and fandom history tags for the curious). So I won’t go into that here, nor into the practical reasons why it’s not even possible to put that system in place anyway.

Arbitrarily, or the purpose of this post, because it’s the biggest topic I’ve seen brought up lately, I’ll be talking about fic depicting underage characters in se*ual situations, but honestly I could hold the exact same conversation on literally any controversial content.

This is about why you, specifically, if you are a content creator and especially if you are marginalised and especially if you are queer and especially especially if you are sensitive to fiction depicting certain things... do not, actually, want a banning system on AO3.

What? Of course we do. There’s a lot of p*do shit on AO3 and p*do shit is gross. No one should condone that, wtf? It would be easy to do — just periodically delete the entire Underage tag!

What will happen if that is done is that people will re-upload and continue to write it, they’ll just stop tagging and you will run into it with zero warning nor ability to filter it out. Again, this is not a theoretical — we know this is what happens. When I was a teen, adult content (all adult content) was not allowed on FF.NET; it was everywhere regardless, and without tags. The exact same thing happened on tumblr when adult content was banned as well. It’s not a matter of “staff not handling it well” — it just doesn’t work.

To keep safe the people who need to be able to exclude that tag, that tag needs to exist and be used.

Well, shucks. A reporting system then?

A reporting system would operate in one of two ways:

-an algorithm, which would delete a lot of stuff we wouldn’t want it to delete.

-humans, which is... the bigger problem.

An algorithm sounds great. We do want it to delete everything.

Okay. What about the daddy k*nk fics between consenting adult characters? What about the fics featuring characters that are children in the canon but are adults in the fic? What about the fics about teenagers exploring their se*uality together, written by adults about the experiences they remember having or wish they could have had? What about the thousands of SasuNaru and Drarry and other shounen and YA fics that will get written, by teens or by people who remember being teens? What about the se*ually explicit fic written by teens who are se*ually active in real life? What about the fics about CSA as trauma, about healing from it? What about the fics written by survivors of CSA to cope about their trauma? What about the fics that clearly show that it’s evil and traumatic? What about the super dark, harrowing, but beautiful and artistic that I’m glad I read even though it fucked me up for days? What about the ones that were really shitty but also horribly hot?

Well, some of these are still not okay, but maybe some might be. It depends on how it’s written. We’ll have humans moderating content and deciding, then.

Okay.

The thing is, I don’t know which of the things I just listed were okay for you to be depicted in fiction and which were too much. Odds are I don’t agree with you. Odds are if I asked 10 people randomly picked off the street, not everyone would agree.

Odds are, even if AO3 arbitrarily decided on which of those are allowed and which are not, you would not agree with their choice, and you would still be unhappy with the decision. (Or you would be happy, but your friends wouldn’t.)

Odds are, different AO3 content moderators might not agree on whether a given fic qualifies or not — is it artistic enough? Does it show enough that these actions are evil and wrong? Can the author prove they’re a teenager? Can the author prove they are a CSA victim? Can the author prove that this is to help them cope with their trauma? The author seem to be functioning alright, they mustn’t really be traumatised!

You know what I mean! There’s absolute, objectively gross shit out there that is not artistic and should not be published.

I agree that there’s vile stuff out there that makes me sick and that I think is very clearly just ped*philic trash. But there is no way to, 1) stop those from getting published anyway, 2) take those down and preserve the safety of everything else.

If we start forbidding some things, there’s two ways to go about it.

One single, clear, arbitrary rule — for instance, absolutely no adult content featuring characters under 18 (leaving aside the fact that this would not even work for the reason cited above). So we lose all the stuff from teenagers, all the coming of age stories about adolescence, all the stuff from CSA survivors; people who need to write it can’t publish it anymore, and people who need to read it can’t anymore either (and as a cool bonus, they’re told it’s wrong and made to feel bad about it). Depending on whether the rules applies to characters that are under 18 in the canon, we lose entire fandoms.

Or, subjective moderation by humans, according to what they estimate to be gross.

Let’s assume all moderators can agree on what’s gross or not.

If there is a system in place to ban some underage works because “gross shit”, then that means other gross stuff can be taken down on account of being gross and harmful.

Yeah! Gross stuff should be taken down! Come on, surely everyone agrees on what’s gross and harmful.

Ah.

But the problem is.

Here is a list of things I have seen — with my eyes seen — called harmful to be depicted in fiction:

Murder

Non-con

Inc*st

Cannibalism

Torture

Self-harm

Mental illness

Drugs

Racism

K*nk

Non-negotiated k*nk, but healthy k*nk is ok

Spanking k*nk

BDSM where the woman is a bottom, but woman top is ok

Healthy depictions of BDSM

Unhealthy depictions of BDSM

Queer people doing bad things

Abusive relationships

Rival/Enemies to lovers

Redemption stories

A happy relationship between a 17 yo and an 18 yo

A happy relationship between a 20 yo and a 60 yo

A happy relationship between a boss and their employee, or a college teacher and a student

A happy relationship between a 14 yo boy and an older teenage boy, because that’s reminiscent of older men preying on younger gay boys IRL

Se*ual content featuring a character whose age is unclear in canon and some people headcanon them as being underage, some as being a young adult

Loving, consensual fluff between characters that are evil villains, because it romanticises them and their actions

Dark content shipping female characters

Fluffy content shipping female characters, because it’s misogynistic to act like lesbians are only soft all the time

Consensual s*x featuring a canonically asexual character, because it implies that all aces can and should still have se*

Fics about the same canonically asexual character hating s*x, because that erases the experience of s*x-positive aces

Shipping a character who is perceived by some fans as queer-coded with a character of a different s*x

The tendency to ship a black character with white characters

Fluffy drunk s*x, because that’s not actually consensual

Sleep s*x, because that’s not actually consensual

Trans characters not experiencing dysphoria, because that idealises the trans experience

Consensual s*x between adults that are not married

LGBT+ content, because kids shouldn’t see that.

I guarantee you: you, I, and 10 random people plucked from the street will not agree on what, in that list, is and isn’t okay to publish and consume fiction of.

So why should your taste be the one followed? Why should it be the taste of mods you don’t know? Why should anyone get to dictate? What if the mods think your OTP is gross and your NOTP is fine?

This is the slippery slope argument.

Yes, it is the slippery slope argument. Because we know it happens. Because we’ve been there, because I’ve seen it happen myself twice already and I’m not even thirty. Because we know people do complain loudly about all of these things.

And because the second there is a banning system in place, assholes will use the system to abuse it and get stuff they just don’t like taken down using the “it is gross” argument, and one day you’ll wake up and the beautiful fic that helped you come to terms with your abuse/trauma/identity/orientation/k*nk for feet will be taken down and wonderful vulnerable creative people will have been harassed out of fandom because they argued with 1 person who didn’t like their foot k*nk fic that happened to also feature, for instance, a CSA trauma backstory.

Again: not exaggerating. Not theoretical. It happens, we know it happens, AO3 was created literally because it happens.

I still fucking hate that stuff.

That is completely fine and normal. No one likes everything. Me too! Most of the dark stuff is niche and the creators know only few people will like it the same way they do.

(For the record, I get grossed out and triggered by fics about an asexual character who does not like s*x having s*x with their partner to make them happy. Deep in my gut everything screams that that’s fucked up, terrifying and harmful, how can people write that. But I recognise that there are people who love and need that, and I leave those people and their content alone.

OTOH, I read a lot of otherwise dark shit and I enjoy it in the same way I enjoyed, say, Hannibal, in the same way some people enjoy true crime documentaries, horror movies or r*pe fantasy k*nk. It helps me explore stuff that I like to see in fiction, in a safe, controlled way. I’m also asexual, 90% s*x-repulsed IRL, and, obviously, I would never abuse a child. For that matter, I wouldn’t kill and eat people, either, nor would I do 90% of the tamer k*nky stuff I read.

Of course, Hannibal was fucked up and lots of people probably think Hannibal was gross and should not have been aired — but as exemplified by the fact that it was created, aired and watched, lots of people thought it was fine, interesting and even fun to watch.)

You can and should curate your experience and protect yourself. The AO3 website now allows you to exclude certain tags, and people have developed tools to help with that such as plugins that save your filters or hide fics that contain certain words.

But no, it isn’t going to, and it shouldn’t, get banned.

The Queer Appeal of Sk8

Recently @mulberrymelancholy reblogged a post of mine with a truly galaxy brain take about how Sk8 “is a show made for queer fans” and generally how sports anime often depicts love and relationships in a way that’s more accessible and relatable to ace/arospec people than other mainstream media does.

Just, *chef’s kiss* fucking brilliant. I urge you to read their post here (note I’m referring to the reblog not the actual post).

And basically, it got me thinking about this concept of Sk8 as a Queer Show, and the kinds of stories and dynamics that tend to attract queer audiences in droves, regardless of whether its queerness is made explicit or hell, whether that queerness was intended.

And that’s what I’ve been pondering: What are the cues, markers, or coding, in Sk8 that set off the community’s collective gaydar?

I obviously can’t speak for the community. So here’s what aspects of the show intrigued me and what, for me, marks Sk8 as a Queer Show beyond the subtextual queer romances: a punk/alternative aesthetic, Found Family, Shadow as a drag persona, and The Hands.

1.) The Punk Aesthetic

All three of the above screenshots are taken from Ep 1, and every single one of them depicts background characters. They’re nameless and ultimately unimportant characters, yet each of them designed so distinctly and so unique from one another, one could mistake each of them for the main character(s) of another story.

Of what little I know about Punk subculture, I do know this: that the ethos of Punk is heavily built around a celebration of individuality and non-conformity. Sk8 seems to have incorporated this ethos into the very fabric its worldbuilding, and the aesthetics and culture upon which it takes inspiration appeals specifically to a queer audience.

I don’t really need to explain why Punk has such deep ties with the queer community. For decades, queer people have found community and acceptance within punk spaces, and punk ideology is something that I think is just ingrained in the queer consciousness as both lived experience and a survival tactic.

Therefore, a show that adopts punk aesthetics is, by association, already paying homage to Queer culture, intentional or not.

Queer fans notice this- like recognizes like.

2.) Found Family

This also needs little explanation.

Too often, queer individuals cannot rely on their “born into” families for support and acceptance. Too often, we are abused, neglected, and abandoned by those who we were taught would “always be there for us.”

And so, a universal experience for queer people has been redefining the meaning of Family, having to build our families from scratch, finding brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers in people with whom we have no blood relation, and forming communities tied together by shared lived experience rather than shared genetics.

And this idea of Found Family is also built into Sk8′s narrative.

Like, for example, the way that Reki promises MIYA that he and Langa will “never disappear from [his] sight,” filling the void that MIYA felt after his friends abandoned him.

And in the way that JOE becomes a paternal figure for Reki, teaching him ways to improve in skateboarding, and ensuring that Reki doesn’t self isolate when he’s feeling insecure.

And in the whole Ep 6 business with Hiromi acting as babysitter to the Gang.

Hell, even ADAM (derogatory) is associated with this trope. Abused as a child, he finds solace in an underground skateboarding community and culture he helped create- his own found family (or some powertrippy version of it anyway).

Again, queer fans see themselves depicted in the show, but this time in the way that the show gives importance to Found Family relationships between its characters.

3.) Shadow and Drag

This is one that’s more of an association that I personally made. But I was intrigued by the way that Hiromi adopts his SHADOW persona. He wears SHADOW like a mask, and adopts a personality seemingly so opposite to his day-to-day behavior.

Further, the theatricality and general “gender fuckery” of his SHADOW persona, to me, just seemed so similar to a the characteristics of a drag persona (I don’t know a whole lot about drag but enough that I’m drawing superficial similarities).

There’s also this aspect of a “double life” that he, and actually all the other adult characters of the show, have to adopt, which is a way of living that I’m sure a lot of queer viewers see themselves reflected in.

4.) The Hands

Ohhhh the Hands.

One of the things I noticed very early on is the way the show constantly draws our attention to Reki’s hands, which I thought was a little strange for an anime about skating. After all, skating doesn’t really involve the hands, or at least the show doesn’t really draw attention to hands within the context of skating.

I count 3 times so far between Eps 1-9 in which hands are the focus of the frame.

First, when Reki teaches Langa how to fist pump after Langa lands his first ollie, second, when Reki and Langa make their Promise, and finally, when Langa saves Reki from falling off his board.

And you know what they say, twice is a coincidence but thrice is a motif (no one else actually says this I think I’m the only one who says this lol).

I’m not really certain why hands seem to be such a shared fixation among queer people (at least among those I interact with). All I know is that gay people are just fucking obsessed with them.

I have a Theory as to why, and at this point I’d love for other people to chime in and “compare notes” if you will, but I think it basically has to do with repression. And in the same way that queer people have had to redefine the meaning of family, we’ve also had to redefine intimacy.

Being overtly physically affectionate with someone of the same sex, even if they’re your significant other, or often specifically BECAUSE they’re your significant other, can still be dangerous, even now despite the “progression” of society. Queer people know this, this vigilant surveillance of our environment and ourselves, always asking ourselves, “Am I safe enough to be myself?”

Already, Western culture is pretty touch-averse. That is, it’s considered taboo to touch someone unless they’re a family member or a romantic partner. And to touch a person of the same sex in any way that could be misconstrued as romantic (which is most things tbh) is a big no no.

There’s just A Lot to unpack there.

But basically I think that queer people, by necessity, have had to learn to romanticize mundane or unconventional ways of being physically intimate so that we can continue to be romantic with one another without “being caught” so to speak.

Kissing and hugging is too obvious. But a handshake that lingers for just a second too long is much more likely to go unnoticed, braiding someone’s hair can easily be explained away as just lending a helping hand, touching palms to “compare hand sizes” is just good fun.

But for queer people, these brief and seemingly insignificant touches hold greater meaning, because it’s all we are allowed, and all we allow ourselves, to exchange with others.

God, I’ve gone off and rambled again. What’s my point? Basically that the way the show draws attention to Reki’s hands, and specifically how they’re so often framed with Langa’s hands, is one of the major reasons why I clocked Sk8 as a Queer. It’s just something that resonated with me and my own experience of queerness, and I know that I’m not the only one who noticed either.

~

So in conclusion, uhhhh yeah Sk8 the Infinity is just a super gay show, and it’s not even because of the homo-romantic subtext (that at this point is really just Text).

Because what’s important to understand is that Queerness isn’t just about same-sex romance.

Queer Love isn’t just shared between wives/girlfriends, husbands/boyfriends, and all their in-betweens. Queer Love can be two best friends who come out together, queer siblings who rely and support one another, a gay teacher who helps guide one of their questioning students, a queer community pitching in to help a struggling member.

And that all ties with another important thing to consider, that what we refer to as the “queer experience” or “queer culture” isn’t universal. In fact, it wrongly lumps together the unique experiences and struggles of queer BIPOC all under one umbrella that’s primary White and middle class.

So I think what drives a lot of my frustration about labeling a show like Sk8 as Queerbait is this very issue of considering queerness and queer representation within such narrow standards, and mandating that a show must pass a certain threshold of explicit queerness to be considered good representation.

I get that someone might only feel represented by an indisputable canonization of a same-sex couple. That’s fine. But labeling Sk8 as Queerbait for that reason alone ignores the vast array of other queer experiences.

The aspects of Sk8 that resonate most deeply with my own experiences of queerness is in the way that Reki and Langa share intimacy through skating (intricate rituals heyo). For me, them officially getting together ultimately doesn’t matter- I’ll consider Sk8 a Queer show regardless.

Similarly, @mulberrymelancholy​ finds ace/arospec representation in that very absence of an on-screen kiss. A bisexual man might find representation in Reki, not because he enters a canon relationship, but in the depiction of Reki’s coming of age, growing up and navigating adolescent relationships. A non-binary person might feel represented through CHERRY’s androgyny.

That’s the thing, I don’t know how this show will resonate with other members of the queer community, and it’d be wrong to make a judgement on Sk8′s queer representation based on my experiences alone.

That being said, Straight people definitely don’t get to judge Sk8 as Queerbait. Y’all can watch and enjoy the show, we WANT you to enjoy these kinds of shows, and we want you to share these shows and contribute to the normalization and celebration of these kinds of narratives.

But understand that you don’t have a right to tell us whether or not Sk8 has good or bad queer representation.

And even members of the queer community are on thin ice. Your experience of queerness is not universal. Listen to the other members of your community, and respect that what you might find lacking in this show may be the exact representation that someone else needs.

Fanfic Requests Open

Hello Tumblr! My name is Rosemi, though you may also call me Rosie or Rose for short. I have created a blog here in hopes of getting back into an old hobby of mine: writing fanfiction. Since I am literally brand new here, I would appreciate at least one request to get things going here. 

This post contains an introductory paragraph on me, rules for requesting me to write a fanfic, and what fandoms I write for. 

⋆⛧*┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈*⛧⋆

Introduction                                                                                                        to me, my blog, and my nerdy ass fanfiction

⋆⛧*┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈*⛧⋆

As I have already mentioned, my name is Rosemi. I am a 23 year old cosmetologist (specifically in the makeup artist department), a proud snake mama, a proud lesbian, and I go by she/her pronouns for those that it matters to. I consider myself to be a very sweet and funny individual, I can go from being my friends’ therapist to laughing my ass off over tik toks and lowkey acting like a crackhead when I’m with my best friend. 

Other than writing fanfiction, I quite enjoy roleplaying! For those who don’t know what I mean, a roleplay is where you and another user(s) go back and forth pretty much writing a story together. I know I know, I’m a nerd XD

Since I am well over the age of 18 I’m going to slap a minors dni on here! Only people 18+ of age should be on my blog, especially since I will be taking nsfw fanfic/head canon requests as well. I am unable to stop kids from getting their hands on anything not meant for their ages, but I have put this warning here, so if a child ends up reading something they shouldn’t at some point, it’s not my fault. 

This blog is going to be oriented around the fanfiction that I write. I will post schedule updates, the fanfics themselves, and likewise anything related. I may open up a side blog in the future just for updates about me and stuff that I’m doing, but I’ll start off small for now lol!

I plan on writing fanfiction for the following fandoms, and welcome people to send in requests for them after reading the request rules: Danganronpa, Demon Slayer, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, Doki Doki Literature Club, Ouran Highschool Host Club, and Cookie Run Kingdom. 

⋆⛧*┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈*⛧⋆

Requesting Rules                                                                                              you know the rules, and so do I ~

⋆⛧*┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈*⛧⋆

There is a feature on Tumblr that allows people to send in questions or comments to creators, who are able to answer them if they feel like it. I plan on using that feature to let people request fanfiction for me to write! But first, some rules need to be laid out:

1.)You may request a fanfic or head canons! For head canons, give me one or more characters and a situation, and I will write a bullet list of what I think they’d do in that situation. For a fanfic, give me one or more characters, one or more genres, and a small scenario. 

2.)Do not rush me to get your request done! It can take me up to one week to write something up for you, especially if my ask box gets more than 10 requests at a time. I may also fill out requests out of order depending on my muse to write up a scenario. 

3.)The genres that may be included in the fanfic or head canons are romance, fluff, drama, nsfw/smut, or light angst. Obviously themes such as maybe setting it in a futuristic setting or a different AU are fine as well. 

4.)When requesting a fanfic or head canons with nsfw themes, keep in mind that I will NOT do anything overly extreme. P!ss k!nks, fetishes, and things of that nature are a no-go. 

5.)No matter what the situation, I will not write anything with abuse, r@pe, incest, pedoph!lia, large age gaps, or toxic relationships between one character and another, drug/alcohol abuse. Do not request these themes, I will block you :)

6.)As long as it doesn’t break any of my rules, go ahead and request whatever! A fanfic where one character or another are in a relationship, head canons about what a character would do if they were in love with the reader, a fanfic about an alternative plot where this happens instead of this. I am also welcome to writing several parts for certain fanfics and head canons, if you want a series, you’ll get a series!

7.)Related to the rule above, request stuff with any character from any of the fandoms listed towards the beginning of the post! I find it quite easy to write fanfiction or head canons for any character.

8.)This is my last and final rule! I have the right to reject a request if I don’t feel like doing it. Sometimes ideas might abide by all of my rules but feel wrong for me to write, and that’s completely fine.

Outroduction                                                                                                thanks for reading love <3

⋆⛧*┈┈┈┈﹤୨♡୧﹥ ┈┈┈┈*⛧⋆

With all of that in mind, I’d love to get a few requests! Please don’t be afraid to message me just to chat or to send requests in through my ask box. I may also post a few fanfics or head canons I’ve made up by myself just to get things rolling if I don’t get any requests. Thank you thank you! <3

Greetings! Requests are open!

My name is Ollie (she/they) and I hope to get a good start on writing on this platform.

Tag List Form!!! -> cooliofango's taglist

Edit (9/11/24): I’ve been seeing where people have added their age for those who are/aren’t comfortable with certain people interacting with their things but I’d like to add that I am 18+! It’s preferable that minors don’t interact or request anything nsfw (sexual; gore is fine to request at your discretion) as well! But feel free to request anything else and be mindful of the type of stuff I’m posting to those of you who are -18 or ageless blogs! While I don’t mind you guys interacting with me outside of nsfw (sexual), I will have to take action if I do notice interaction with any nsfw posts. This means I will have to delete the comments and I will kindly msg you to ask you to remove interaction with that post. If you do not comply with that I will have no choice but to block you for mine and others’ safety.

Check out my Masterlist of Masterlists for my past writings! 🫶

Masterlist of Masterlists

I want to start out with a few things about myself-

I’m a college sophomore, so I usually have a lot of work to do. It often leaves me drained so it will take time for me to finish requests/parts of fics

I’ll be friendly as long as you are so we are on the same page and no one is getting any misunderstandings!

Please specify the fandom the characters come from please! There could be a character from different anime/games with the same name and it’ll make it easier on me!

Also be specific with what you want me to write- like do you want me to write headcanons or a oneshots or anything else that I’ve typed down. This also includes a plot or it’ll take longer for me to write it due to having to having to think of an idea to write for your request.

That should be it!

Whichever reader insert or headcanon I do will vary on the request and the fandom as well as my motivation for writing that specific thing.

List of fandoms I’ll write for:

(Just because I don’t have a master list link for any of the below doesn’t mean I won’t write for them’ I just haven’t yet)

Overwatch

BlueyCapsules

Marble Hornets

Security Breach

Identity V

Genshin Impact

Stranger Things

Linked Universe

The Legend of Zelda games

Honkai Starrail

Into The Spider-Verse

Across The Spider-Verse

Call of Duty MW/MW2/MW3

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Aphmau Series

Pressure (Roblox Game)

That’s all for now- I will add to this as I see fit and as I please depending on what I decide!

Things I will do:

Reader Inserts (aka character x reader)

Headcanons

Full Fics ✨

Canon Ships

SFW Alphabet✨

NSFW Alphabet ✨

Oneshots

Au’s

Smut✨

Imagines

Anything else requested!

(If there is a ✨ by it then it’ll take longer to do)

Things I will not do:

Anything forced/non-con

Anything disgusting involving bodily wastes

Proshipping

Anything including racial slurs

And that should be all for that one! I’ll add more accordingly as always~!

!! UNDER RENOVATION !!

NOSꓤƎꓕSՈᗡDUSTERSON

█ post season 4 AU of DUSTIN HENDERSON In which the world ends, and the story ends in a full party wipe-out.

█ post apocalyptic; cosmic & eldritch horror; psychological horror

with voyages into disability, mental health, queerness, and parental abuse (enmeshment, abandonment)

21+ mun | semi selective | slow activity

⇉ (mobile) character info ;

⇉ (mobile) verse timeline ;

⇊ rules below the cut ⇊

Mun is over the age of 21, muse is under the age of 18 in canon material. Mature themes concerning violence, mental health, ableism, abuse, death, etc. will be present.

           THE RULE OF LAW

01 : DON'T BE A DICK.

this is a heavily alternate-universe iteration of Dustin. please read the Character Info page. highly selective in following back, however non-mutual asks are more than welcome.

this blog/muse is old-school multiverse ; all interactions with this muse affect him universally, with the exception of AUs (i.e. modern!AU, pirate!AU, etc…). interactions with all muses are with the same version of dustin.

OCs, doubles of canon muses (including from other fandoms) are welcome, as are doubles of this same muse i’m writing here. That means throw more Dustins at me. Please. We will be unstoppable. please let there be Chaos.  P l  e a s e ,

for the love of god do not try to drag me into whatever hot-topic drama anon-hate callout bullshit is going around this week. i will hermit. my response will be some form of "and that's why i go radio silent so often!"

godmoding, metagaming etc. ain’t cool, ooc drama is even less cool, don’t reblog IC posts you’re not involved in, yadda yadda yadda. the muse is not the mun, if my answer’s no then it’s No, i am disabled and have a life outside of rping on tumblr. if you repeatedly poke me for declining something or taking longer than you’d like to write, i’ll just block you. i don't appreciate it.

02 : DON’T BE A GROSS DICK.

do not come to me for smut. do not come for me for shipping when we haven't so much as written a crack rp between our characters. the more we talk OOC and rp actual chemistry/buildup, the more i’ll be open to shipping.

multiship and polyship friendly. in the case of poly it is required both (or more) parties shipping with him agree to such. otherwise, the relationships will not overlap one another icly.

03 : DON’T LET ME BE A DICK!

my post length will vary and i don’t expect you to match or vise versa. i don’t care how you style your posts and i’m lazy about fancying mine. i avoid blogs with post formatting that hinder my vision. most sorry.

any commonly triggering content will be tagged (#example tw), such as gore, abuse, suicide, etc. but don’t be afraid or ashamed to request i tag something specific for you. i don’t care why you want/need it tagged. i’m grouchy, not judgmental

if at any point a thread becomes triggering, or distressing in any way, please tell me. i will drop it in the trash bin. slam dunk that fucker right on outta here if need ok? and don’t be afraid to let me know if you’re losing interest in a thread, don’t know how to respond, or even that you’re no longer interested in rping.

honestly if the third’s the case you don’t even need to explain, yeet to freedom my sweet bird good luck out there and for the love of god enjoy yourself and feel no shame for it. softblock or don’t i tend to unfollow people ain’t followin me anyways ‘cos clean dash. tidy dash.

THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING A DICK!

that’s why i’m saying the don’t part, cos i’m trusting you (kind of) not to be one, cos like you got this far so you can’t be one see? here’s some apple cider, thank you for coming on the tour, now let me introduce myself.

So now all THAT’s out of the way, ‘sup. You can call me Saahs. Any pronouns are fine with me. I’m a 28 year old artist, writer, dabbler of the sciences and metaphysical, and lover of horror. RP has been a major part of my life for 99.9% of it, I started playing AD&D before I could properly write, and I’m not letting this strain of hobby go any time soon.

Like I said I probably won’t be a highly active rper due to chronic illness and IRL issues, but my messages, askbox, are always open! And I’m happy to give my Discord to mutuals if you’d like to chat over there as well.

The rules are a lil snippy ‘cos things KEEP HAPPENING and I’m a jaded animal to begin with But legit I don’t assume You are gonna break rules or anything there’s just been too many times man. Like I’m a shy guy and I don’t like having to deal with conflict so don’t make me ok

for a bit more on the saahs have a gander over here !
