#not sure what anon was expecting

[aroaceleovaldez]

I personally always interpreted Hazel's gold eyes as "a shade of light brown that looks golden" bc real gold is not actually an eye color (afaik), light brown would symbolize both the earth and gold so both of these would fit Pluto's elements, and because the only other demigod we had with gold eyes was rather infamously a possessed Luke.

Golden eyes - at least how they might appear in nature, like with wolves/eagles/cats/etc - are not a real color of iris humans can have, no. Closest you would get is brown, or some shades of hazel-brown in particular can appear more gold-ish because of how the secondary color interacts. With brown eyes in particular that "gold" appearance basically only happens in direct sunlight anyways, and happens more or less regardless of the actual light/darkness of the color - its more about hue - so giving her light eyes versus dark eyes doesn't make a huge difference re: that particularly. Like I showed in my previous post (which i presume is what spurred this ask in the first place) I usually give her dark brown eyes with gold highlights, cause i imagine the gold appearance is a lighting thing. Like to me it's probably less the exact color and just her irises are really shimmery. Plus it's fun to give all the Hades/Pluto kids have matching very dark eyes.

I don't think many people interpreted her eyes as being literally bright golden in color. That is generally how eye descriptors work in environments where most characters have natural or at least semi-natural eye colors - slightly exaggerated comparisons/embellishments are common. Like "sky blue" eyes are rarely ever bright cerulean, they're usually more of a light blue-grey.

Especially in fanart nowadays most people don't draw Hazel with super bright eyes. Though, neon eye colors for like half the Argo II crew were a common art choice back in the day in the fandom just in general, even if it didn't particularly align with the character's description at all (see: lots of old Percy and Piper fanart) or people's headcanons. It was just kind of what everybody was doing. (Probably spurred by the anime fandom influences on PJO fandom - like how in anime designs usually characters having dark grey or purple eyes means they'd realistically have black irises, or characters with blue hair = realistically have black hair, etc etc. Stuff gets exaggerated.) But even then when Hazel got grouped into that it was often more subdued. Kronos!Luke usually gets more of the straight highlighter yellow versus Hazel getting more of an actual golden tone.

If the anonymous hater can’t put in the effort to hate properly, I can’t put in the effort to take them seriously. /hj

The same question I asked whatever the fuck it's name is.

In fact tell it that it wasn't so hard to answer my question, I'd tell it myself but the bitch seems to have turned it's asks off

OMG, MY FIRST ANON HATE!!!! :D

Anon, let’s dissect your message, yeah?

“It’s” is short for “it is”, which does not properly show possession. You’re looking for “its”. You need a comma after “in fact”. Also, that comma after “question” is not grammatically correct. You’d need to replace it with a conjunction like “and” or a semicolon. You need a comma before “but”. Again, “its”, not “it’s”. Also, you need proper end punctuation. Wrong pronouns, too.

Try harder next time, thanks.

So….when you first started Stella’s story, had you any idea it would be like this ? 🥰

I definitely did not! I don't normally allow myself to just start spur of the moment saves. When I get attached to my sims, I try to stick with their save for as long as I can and normally feel a bit guilty moving on to something else.

I'm so glad that I followed the inspiration to start Earth Angel though! Everything was just: "What if I make a cute little retro alien?" "Well, there's an alien themed challenge I can try out with her - it can be real casual!" And then Johnny, Ophelia and Ripp entered the picture and it was all over from there 😆

I am so attached to this family and I have so much fun playing and writing up posts! In game, I'm almost at Gen 2 already - not something I was planning to ever happen but I've got rules written up for and everything! The best part is getting to share this wholesome family with you guys and seeing your reactions to everything! That is really what keeps me motivated to post, so thank you so much! 🥰

Soooo… with you putting this blog on hiatus, should we stop sending in asks, stories, and stuff? Just to respect your wishes of putting this blog aside?

Of course keep sending them in!!

I don't know if you read my post explaining my decision buuuuut

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to bring this blog to a full stop. I still want to talk to people. I still want to hear your ideas and your stories as well."

^^Link to post^^

Just gotta say that louder for the people in the back and those who came a bit late to the party.

I was just saying that I wouldn't work on requests for the foreseeable future and that requests were indefinitely closed.

It's why I kept answering the little asks that I had even after I posted the hiatus. I thought that would have been enough to encourage the engagement to keep coming but uhhh.... guess not.

Just started watching suits recently and was wondering if you had any good fic recs, particularly AUs. The nature of the show really lends itself to Selkie fics imo but also I just love selkies

anon i need you to know that as soon as i saw your ask i immediately went scouring through the AU tag on ao3. i’m not gonna lie, i'm not usually an AU reader but i wanted to challenge myself to provide some recs as unbiasedly as possible.

at first observation, i noticed a lot of the AU fics were still in some way canon (divergent and adjacent)-- usually splitting off somewhere along the show or a situation where Mike or Harvey is still a lawyer, while the other was not. i will say i skipped over smut-based (omegaverse, bdsm) and lengthy fics (under 20k is nothing, anything more than 50k is pushing it for me) cause i just did not have the brainpower to even try to get through them :/

so of course the ones i ended up liking were mostly canon divergent/adjacent but i tried my best to get you something different. what i managed to dig up for you is under the cut and i really hope you like them anon (also fyi these are all pretty much marvey fics, hope that's okay!) <3 also thanks so much for the ask! i enjoyed this little scavenger hunt haha!

[blackfilmmakers]

About the casting of Children of Blood and Bone, doesn’t the book describe Amari as plus sized/fat? I apologize if I’m using the wrong terminology. I don’t think Amandla fits Amari’s character on that front either.

You can say fat, it’s not a bad word 👍🏾

As for Amari I don’t recall if she was fat or not (it’s been a while). Her family, particularly her mother, always scrutinized her appearance and I think they do mention controlling her diet. Although I’m not sure if that does confirms it

I wouldn’t mind a fat darkskinned Nigerian actress to play Princess Amari, whether or not she is fat in the books

Dumbass thought but instead of shizun (sy) x Tony the tiger what about shizun (sj) x Tony the tiger (yes iam the same person no I haven't stopped these asks is just that no on has been answering :<)

have you considered that the reason people are answering is not because your thoughts are dumb or uncreative as you've told me you feel previously, and instead because you aren't opening a collaborative dialog with people where both of you can have fun?

for example, the possible text responses to "could lqg do a sonic rainboom" are "no" "yes" or "i do not know what a sonic rainboom is" (i thought it was a sonic the hedgehog thing.)

people generally don't want to respond with "no" or "i don't know" unless they can think of a funny way to say it.

this isn't a question most people can infodump about unless they're already interested in it.

drawing art for a response takes time, effort, and energy and people will only draw what you're sending them an ask about if it's particularly inspiring, funny, or something they're already passionate about. i don't draw 90% of my own ideas, let alone a response to every ask people send me.

i don't even answer every ask people send me! i have over 300 unanswered asks in my askbox right now. i want to answer a lot of them, but just couldn't come up with something good to say in response. most people don't answer every ask they get, presumably for similar reasons.

anon. i am leveling with you here. i am reaching out a hand to you.

have you considered, if you want people to answer them and have a meaningful interaction with you, instead of sending a dozen people the same ask about something they potentially have no context or passion for, you could ask them about something that both of you actually care about?

if i were going to send my friend fish, for example, an ask i would probably look at his blog and notice that he writes fic, and that he seems to like mermaids and q!jiu (censored so it doesn't show up in the tag). i also really like shen jiu and yue qingyuan, and mermaids/monsters. that gives us common interests we're both excited about. i would probably send him an ask saying "have you considered writing a mermaid qijiu au?" or "if you were putting sj in a mermaid au, would sj be more of a classic mermaid (misleadingly beautiful to lead sailors to their death) or would you go with the modern monsterfucker idea of mermaids where they're uncanny and a little bit scary?"

if you want to shitpost about tony the tiger and his attempts at wooing every peak lord, you can post about it on your own blog. that allows people invite themselves over to play with you if they're interested instead of you struggling against trial and error on anon.

i don't send random people anons asking about vampire sj even though i'm passionate about it, because they might not be. i post on my own blog about it, and then other people who like vampire sj come over and play with me and we all have a good time!

hey can you please stop cyberstalking my friend. block them rant on a priv account i don't care but it's incredibly unhealthy to be this fixated on someone you claim to dislike. apologies if this came out rude but you have been doing this for a long time now. and don't make new accounts to block evade so you can keep ranting about someone who has frankly done nothing to you.

i. i can assure that me saying "hey no yeah i don't like this guy because they have bad takes" and simply checking if i didn't unblock them by accident therefore seeing that they also have me blocked isn't. cyberstalking. and the last part is just straight up lying. i have not made any accounts to evade blocks because i am a normal person and don't check the people i have blocked nor intend to. also people are going to complain about bad takes, especially about their favorite characters. you can't just come here and make an accusation twitter style and treat me like the boogeyman. if THIS is who i think it is, i was simply telling my moot to just not. listen to your things. just because i dislike something doesn't mean i am going to go to the person and tell them "hey i dislike this thing".

and also. i stopped talking "about your friend" a long time ago because i realized that i had better things to do than be a hater when i can try to remember why i like ii in the first place. ACTUALLY i am pretty much sure i also have you blocked for the same reasons. i never namedropped them EXCEPT for ONE instance in which was for like "hey don't follow me if you follow this person" BUT EVEN THEN that was for my own comfort and never once said that I want people to attack anyone. if there's like more guys doing that to your friend i am sorry but i can assure you that i am not doing that.

stop making me feel some sort of catholic guilt shame for like me complaining about takes i don't like in my blog without maintagging this isn't twitter AND ALSO EVEN THEN. HOW do you know that i've posted rants over that???? when i have most likely blocked you the second i saw you on the ii tag?????? like say all you want about me "cyberstalking" someone but this is. weird.

rereading the nightmares chapter again and i had forgotten when falin goes into shuro’s nightmare to save him… what do you think shuro’s nightmare would be about? 👀

honestly.. either something relatively lighthearted (trapped in another 4 hour convo with laios or is stuck having to pick presents again) or like. something to do with his family maybe??

[zeeckz]

thank you anon!!

[lover-of-mine]

Hello, I hope im not bothering you, but I can't help and ask. I know you said you had thoughts and to wait the end of the season, but not gonna lie, I feel suckered punched. I tried not to have hope, but still after all the promos ( I know most of them weren't official, but still...) and I wanted to know your opinion/feeling about it all. Im also using this ask to tell you that your posts and tags make me smile a lot, so I also wanted to thank you for that it gave me company in this fandom even thought I dont dare and reach out except now...

Okay, darling, first of all, thank you, I'm happy I can be a positive presence in the fandom for you. Second, I'm gonna be as diplomatic as I can here. One, I think some reactions the fandom has don't need to reach the people they are about, and it is shitty to put an actor in that type of position, even more when not something he said. Second, I think Ryan proved why he was in pr jail, because, well, they are in damage control mode, because considering the way queerbaiting is leading people to believe there will be a romantic relationship when that was never the plan, and like it or not, the things Ryan said paired with the new things that have been said, could be read as queerbaiting. Please notice I said could. We are dealing with an ongoing story, so anything is a possibility. Buddie is in the middle. I think contextually they make sense together, but I also think that they wrote themselves into a corner. I made a whole post about that you can read all my thoughts here, but the short version is that the stakes are too high. They can't not know the potential love story they have on their hands, BUT the potential they have of being one of the best slowburns in television makes it that much harder to actually write that payoff if there wasn't a plan in place and they accidentally did that by playing off of Oliver and Ryan's chemistry. They did establish Buck and Eddie as family, and yes, their bond is stronger than one would expect of two best friends, but while I think it would be unsatisfying, leaning into the family angle without making it romantic will always be a possibility. One of the logistical problems with getting Buck and Eddie together is that, unlike bathena and madney, they work together, so you either need to get one of them out of the 118 or you need to acknowledge their relationship every episode they are both in, and that is complicated in a show with 7 main characters. There's also the issue that the foundation they have laid out for buddie doesn't really allow for them to use the usual tricks to keep slowburns interesting because most shows tend to have issues with slowburns once the tension is resolved, and the build-up with buddie is high. Whether the build-up was intentional or not, you can recontextualize the show to make it seem like this has been building, it's what allowed me to write 4k words on how Eddie has been in love with Buck since 2x04 just by playing with the perspective around them. And you can very easily do the same with Buck. That kind of expectation is not good since it's not the buddie show. The show is not only about Buck and Eddie, but to put buddie in situations as an established couple could make the show about them because, since they are always together, there will be an expectation around showing them being a couple all of the time that they might not know how to work with because there isn't really another television couple that would fit in their category. Even if we compare them to shows like castle, the mentalist, bones, the couple are the main characters, so it's okay if the couple is taking away from the rest of the show, and honestly, all 3 of those shows kinda tanked their own build-up for a while there. And Buck and Eddie literally have a legal document binding them together, for all intents and purposes they have a child together, and they are best friends, so there's this expectation around them if they ever get to be a couple that they will be a good couple. You can't have them fumbling around much in the way other slowburns do because they are solid. So there's also the issue of keeping them interesting because television writers don't like letting couples have peace.

Sure there are issues you can place on buddie to "spice things up" if they think they got boring resolving the tension, like playing with the sexuality angle, or the abandonment issues Buck, Eddie, and even Chris have, but they are not things you can really drag out. They work in the immediate aftermath of them getting together, but then they would have to get creative and they probably don't know how to get there. But why am I talking about the logistics of the couple in the big picture? Well, I think Ryan has been playing Eddie as at least a little bit in love with Buck the whole time he's been playing Eddie, my main argument for that is that he has the same reactions for Buck that he had for Shannon (post on that here), so Ryan could very much just gotten comfortable and said his interpretation of Eddie's feelings for Buck without it being something he was explicitly told. Both Ryan and Oliver said Buck and Eddie are getting closer this season, so "trying to give the people what they want" could very much just be what Ryan himself is trying to do with the text he's being given. It could be that the marketing team didn't think the fans would react to what he said like that and that's why he was allowed to say it. They could be backtracking because Buck and Eddie are getting together and what Ryan said would be a spoiler. Or they could be baiting us to raise the ratings. Every angle here is possible. We only watched one episode of the season so far. We don't know where the story is going yet. It could be going anywhere. It could be going somewhere. Maybe by the end of the season, we will have something explicitly canon on buddie. Maybe they fucked up and the people calling queerbaiting will be somewhat justified because, honestly, I'm getting teen wolf cons flashbacks here. I do think it's fucked up that people are expecting Oliver to deal with something Ryan said. I do think emotions are running high because of many things that happened in the past 2 weeks. I don't think it is fair to scream queerbaiting yet. But I do unfortunately think we might get there if they keep raising the stakes between Buck and Eddie on the show with no payoff while letting Ryan say things like the things he's been saying. For me, the important thing to remember is that the story is in the middle, we don't know where the show is gonna take Buck and Eddie individually and together, so I think everyone needs to take a breath and stop acting like the show already ended and wait to see where it's gonna go.

[therhythmafterthesummer]

The way that I thought I couldn't love the wereroomies more and then you keep replying to asks about them 😭 my babiesssssss I wonder if Chris (the wolf and the real chris) feels the same kind of need to protect that I feel? Because I'd do anything for them lmao

I wanted yo ask if you have any favorite fantasy fics? Or anything you'd recommend in general? ty 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

i love replying to your wereroomies related asks !! they inspire me a lot ! they also help me organise my thoughts better when it comes to the AU, cuz a lot of things are just floating aimlessly in my head lol

as for fantasy fic recommendations.... my masterlist🫡 nah, i'm kidding. fun fact that you didn't ask for: i started writing for this fandom in the first place bc i couldn't find enough fantasy AUs. i'm a fantasy AU girly and when i tell you i CRAVE those stories i mean it sdkjfhsjkdf.

with that being said, here are some i dug out from my rec tag. most of these writers have many fantasy related fics that i haven't gotten to yet, so make sure to check out their masterlists as well !
