Helloo, I have a birthday tomorrow( so.. can I have some kind of hedcanon, how would Jinx and Isha celebrate this with reader? Please?
Jinx and Isha celebrating readers birthday HCs
note -> MY TWO BABIES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! Also guys if yall want birthday requests for your birthdays please do tell me in edvance. I am not ready for the fandom to slowly die :[
warnings -> none.
content includes -> fluff, they try to bake a cake, end up stealing instead, silly, suprise party.
Jinx and Isha wanted to prepare a suprise party for you for your birthday so they would have to find a way to get you distracted so they would be able to prepare everything.
Jinx would convince Sevika to help out and get you to help her with something while Jinx and Isha work on your suprise party.
They would try to bake a cake themselves but after many failed attempts they just ended up stealing a cake from some topside bakery.
The two would set up Jinx lair in hand-made decorations, laughing and giggling, excited to suprise you when you get back.
Isha would make you a handmade gift, probably a bracelet or maybe just a handmade drawing, the important things is that she made it with love.
Jinx would probably invent something for you, maybe a weapon or just something random, and of course her doodles will be included!
The two would turn off all the lights and suprise you when you get back, Jinx making it a whole spectacular, dramatic show.
Unless you specifically said that you didn't want them to do that, Jinx and Isha would cover you with frosting the moment you blew out the cadles.
They would make sure that you have the beat birthday ever!

30 years ago today I saw “Interview with the Vampire” at a mall movie theater somewhere in rural Pennsylvania and it forever altered the course of my life.
Not to be overly dramatic, but seeing the film made me seek out the books, and as I devoured all four (at the time!), it completely opened up my world view from my sheltered rural upbringing. It made me strive to escape, and believe I was destined for something greater. That I could endure and do better.
It was probably inevitable that these characters would become my lifelong favourites - take a girl with Transylvanian heritage, give her a blood disorder, get her reading Dracula in elementary school and exposed to toxic gothic romance as a preteen (Phantom of the Opera!) and it’s no wonder Louis and Lestat became permanently etched into my psyche.
You can draw a straight line between my love for the film and moving abroad at the first opportunity. Love of the film, books, and now tv series has brought me to some of my closest lifetime friends - in 1995, in 2002, and again in 2022. Friends I made 30 years ago, spending late nights discussing every detail, are still friends today.
I took this opportunity to dig through old photos today to find ones where I was re-enacting vampire scenes with friends, or having the poster on my wall at uni, or dressing up as a vampire at Halloween. Sadly I couldn’t find photos from my original 1995 Halloween vampire costume, or giving my speech on vampires in high school English class, or of me wearing my original film teeshirt, so you’ll have to imagine those.
I’ll never be someone that moves from fandom to fandom - for me, this has always been The Fandom, even when Anne Rice herself made it really hard to be an Anne Rice fan in the early 2000s.
I can only hope to enjoy 30 more years of this brainrot in my future. 🥂

I've seen some posts here and there about comments on people's fic, how they can come across as too demanding or really just not kind. It's been a little over a year, so I still feel like a baby to fandom - but I think I've experienced enough to have an opinion about this now (or I should say, understand my own feelings about this). I apologize for my rambles... First, I want to acknowledge that comment anxiety is so real. There are people so well-intentioned, who may want to express how much they love your story but just don't have the words or are so fearful that it will be taken the wrong way. Sometimes I do worry that having a criteria for what constitutes as the right way to leave a comment can make this anxiety worse for some people. Now, I've gotten comments before that could be read as "demanding" but I just try and see it as someone being excited and wanting to read more! At the same time, man....if only one could see the amount of TIME that was poured into that piece you just devoured. Because real talk...I tend to feel pretty hollow for a few days after a chapter drop. Like...in the most dramatic way possible. HOLLOW. EMPTY. NUMB. The comments that do come in DO bring a smile to my face and they DO mean so much to me and they DO motivate me to continue. But I am just utterly depleted and it takes me awhile to get my shit back together. I think part of it has to do with like...the amount of hours, days, I poured into this and how it can literally just be consumed in like 20 minutes. Most people will consume your art and some people will engage with it - and there is a difference. But that's kind of how it goes, once you release it you don't have any control over how someone chooses to respond to it.
The same could be said for visual art. Every art piece you see, it takes you one second to glance at and hit the like button. The amount of time and patience and care that went into it though? I can't even wrap my head around it. Since writing fic, it really got me thinking....there are SO. MANY. BOOKS. that I've read, many that have influenced me, had my jaw dropping to the floor, that I absolutely LOVED, changed my life and guess what? I've not once reached out to the authors in any form to express my appreciation. I don't even actually know what point I'm trying to make. (Again, rambling.) But I guess if you choose to read and you find the engagement exhausting so you don't want to leave a comment - I think that's okay. It would feel really awesome to the fic writer - who isn't making any money or getting anything else out of the time they'd put in - but if it's too overwhelming, then don't push yourself. Life is hard and sometimes you just need a place to escape without the pressure or sense of obligation to say something. I can understand this, too.
And for those who have taken the time, you have become a part of my own journey as I go on to write this ridiculous story. And I don't say that lightly. Whatever happens, or however fandom culture gets shaped or changes - I hope we all just continue to treat each other well and be kind, be kind and be kind always.
#june rambles#comment anxiety#fandom culture#idk what point i was making here#but oh well#i love you all#sometimes it's hard for the writer#sometimes it's hard for the reader#it's okay

My First Six Sentences Sunday
I posted a snippet of my writing last week and I got so manny comments and notes, and got to meet so many people in the fandom, so thank you everyone for being so kind!
It was terrifying having so many people reading my stuff, but also encouraging. So I decided to give it a go again, but officially.
I have a wedding prompt for the fest, and it's where Simon and Baz have a promise of being each other's one plus in a busy wedding season, but I'm also exploring how that promise happens and how it gets going. My plan was to make them best friends but someone let me wondering... what if their dynamic was different. But I love some good best-friend-yearning since that's how I met by boyfriend.
Here are my six sentences then!
He didn’t know if he was allowed to undress at Baz’s front door without anyone giving him permission to do so. He was too angry and embarrassed to care if Baz didn't want him stripping down in front of him either way; his jacket and shirt were already off, naked legs wouldn’t hurt more.
“I don’t mind being single, Baz, and I don’t mind that people know either. Those old people who go to the bakery tell me what a handsome man I am and what a shame it is that I stay single everytime they show up. I mind that, apparently, I have a face that screams ‘in a loving, stable, long relationship’ that’s getting me all these invitations with a plus one.”
Maybe he should consider buying new jeans, these really are suffocating him. Why couldn’t he pull them down?
I love that Simon is Baz-dramatic level, telling him how disrespectful people are to him, while Baz is trying to be a good friend while having the love of his life casually undressing in front of him.
Hellos and giving this to tag and make new friends!
@fiend-for-culture @ileadacharmedlife @thewholelemon @roomwithanopenfire @messofthejess
@bookish-bogwitch @artsyunderstudy @orange-peony @carryonsimoncarryonbaz @rebel-walnut
@terra-fae @monbons @blackberrysummerblog
I hope I didn't miss anyone, but I hope I can meet new people like this, so hey!

Tell us how you feel about arcane. Use your emotion words! Use a visual aid if you must, too lol.
you want some visual aid? i'll give you some visual aid:
that describes perfectly ab how i am feeling rn
first of all the LESBIAN SEX SCENE????!! I-??!! i knew that something was bound to happen (esp after meljay and the rated for sex warning in season 2) and i celebrated when they (finally) kissed but oh my god?? an actual lesbian sex scene? in a prison?? in vi's sister's prison?? after a parallel about how cait is always finding her in a prison and expected her to be there?? (with dramatic music and banter and soft giggling and the ANGLES and HAND PLACEMENTS??) I AM NOT OKAY
just that scene alone is enough to nudge me off a cliff. but moving on
how is JAYVIK more homoerotic than now-100%-canon caitvi?? that's all i have to say. (what do you MEAN that love conquers all?? that he loved and admired viktor for all his imperfections and that was what made him special and beautiful?? GET OUTTA HERE)
i did not know that i needed timebomb until this season but HOLY FUCKING SHIT why must you make ekko fall (surprisingly, even to himself) in love with jinx/older powder and have that ripped away from him not like two days later?? WHYYYYY (the dance. the "can we pretend it's like the first time?" the "oh and he's got lines." the nervous wave after he fucked up in that scene with dead vi and powder was like hmp and he goes :(. the mural. im sent. im gone. nobody speak to me.)
ISHA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (she was just trying to be like jinx and copy everything that she does and is and looked up to her as a hero STOP WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME. also the song?? IM CHINESE BRO AND I WAS SOOOO EMOTIONAL OVER THE LYRICS like hit me where it fucking hurts why dont you)
i cried at how vander suffered a fate worse than death. @becasbelt can attest to that
caitlyn adfshjk i knew she would come around and she was and always has been my blorbo (even if she stayed evil) MWAH my female rage filled, slightly wild, grief clouded, confident, "im an excellent shot," sexy, " i am a decorated officer, leader of house kiramman, address me with respect, or keep your mouth shut." dictator, vampire, badass, mofo. YES
the way she said "no amount of good deeds can undo our crimes" hit me bc she's acknowledging that she went off the rails and did some pretty bad things to justify and achieve (which she didn't. not really) her goals
i LOVED jinx in this season. she single-handedly made it a comedy show and was the sole focus of a lot of the emotional damage the storytellers and animators wanted to convey
the way jesus came to be and then quickly became evil SDFHSDKJ i was legit like WEEO WEEO ABORT ABORT JESUS HAS TURNED EVIL (also want to point out the "no you wont" sky dialogue bc DAMN she really called you out huh viktor)
that alternate universe timebomb episode had me gasping so much (like SILCO?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?? what do you mean everyone is well and happy but at the cost of vi's death???) i think i had asthma for a split second there
MELLLL MY GODDESS MVP PLAYER you saved cait's ass so many times it's not even funny and ugh the way you finally stood up to your mom (very cleverly too, i might add) ugh i applaud
EKKO MY KINGGG the way he hurts himself so bad turning back time and specifically saving jinx from offing herself BYE
HEIMERDINGER MY TINY ANNOYING/affectionate FURBALL WHYY
no but yea i am ruined and my emotions have faded away into numbness and i hope this post was relatable to the people in the arcane fandom and i also agree that this season was way too condensed and rushed and the last episodes in particular needed at least a couple more to drag out the events and character development bc at times when i am supposed to be cheering i am crying and at times i am supposed to be crying i am screaming and at times i am supposed to be screaming i am Horny and at times i am supposed to be Horny my heart is wrenching but only a few tears slip out bc IT IS CUT TO THE NEXT SCENE AGAIN??? does that make sense??
(also do we think jinx is actually dead or no. im still not sure but obv i would hope/am hoping that she is lmao)
#ALSO THE WAY JINX WAS SHIPPING CAITVI THE ENTIRE TIMEEE scream#wenz can talk#anon ask#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane spoilers#caitvi#jayvik#timebomb#piltover's finest#caitlyn kiramman#vi arcane#jinx arcane#ekko arcane#mel medarda#viktor arcane#jayce talis#isha arcane

Sagau w/ an impostor would be so simple with me because the characters can easily tell the fake apart from the real
Mostly because the fake would probably be graceful n shit
Meanwhile the real one keeps picking up every single sweet flower, wandering around to random places and quietly walking past sleeping hilichurls because it'd be rude to wake them up!
Like the characters would have to put up w/ me cooing at the sleeping, snoring hilichurls 😭 like no way am I waking them up
No but really, I can't even ambush the sleeping once, if I need to kill them I at least wake them up before the fight akdhsksj
the thing is that the characters don’t really know what the (creator?) is like, so even if you and the imposter were entirely different people, it’d be difficult to see who’s real and who’s fake because, well, they don’t know you as a person. in fact, because the fake is so graceful and all, people would be more likely to think that they’re the real one.
though because i’m a sucker for drama, i think there’d be factions throughout teyvat, rallying behind you or the fake. some believe that the fake is real simply because they’re more elegant and ‘god-like’ in appearance, so to speak, all intimidating presence and authoritative voice. others believe you’re the real one because only the true god would be so in tune with nature and compassionate with all living beings, benevolent and empathetic and all the good parts that make you human. tho the humanity you have also serves as a double edged sword because it places you down the pedestal of what they think a god should be.
among the archons, the ones i see rallying behind you are venti and nahida. as for the imposter, it’d be zhongli and ei. (though i imagine zhongli would soon see through the fake simply because of how old and knowledgable he is.)
also, you’re a better person than me anon bc i don’t discriminate between sleeping and awake hilichurls. if i see one, i’m immediately throwing hands.
#i like the concept of sagau but sometimes it gets a bit much#also i wish the fandom chose a different name for this trope because self-aware genshin au (sagau) doesn’t fit in this genre anymore#i mean sure it’s what initially kickstarted the whole creator thing but yknow the actual self-aware genshin aus became few and far between-#because of it#that’s really the only gripe about this trope#scratch that there’s one other thing#it’s the over dramatic villainy of the characters when it comes to imposter aus#i mean sure they’d be devoted to the imposter but i don��t think they’d be so needlessly cruel#it just takes away from their character#but it’s all well and good because we’re all allowed to write what we want#this is just an opinion of mine#if anyone reads this mwah send me more asks about my thoughts on sagau bc i love talking about my opinions#genshin sagau#genshin x reader#asks

Sigh. Sometimes loving a child isn't enough to make someone a good parent, especially, when the parent creates an emotionally unstable home environment
Such as, constantly bringing partners into a child's life and orbit and then using that child as an excuse for not being able to break up with them
Such as, knowing you have ptsd and panic attacks that effect your child's life and emotional well being and choosing not to go to therapy consistently
And then fans saying that Chris can't leave Eddie because Eddie loves him, well that sounds an awful lot like Eddie not being able to break up with any number of his girlfriends because Chris loves them. Love is not an excuse for a child to stay in a bad situation
And yeah, maybe Chris could've gone with another better suited family member, but they're not who Chris called. He could've called his aunts or Buck, but in that moment, when he needed a safe place, he called his grandparents; even if, as adults, we can see they also have their problems
(On a personal note, my four nieces have been put into my care on and off for the past 11 years, because, despite their parents loving them, they have not been consistently emotionally available to take care of them)
I'm just tired of all these posts saying Chris can't leave or that Eddie just needed time to explain or that the grandparents swooped in too fast and Chris just needed time to cool off
'Cause unfortunately this was not an isolated event and if Chris needed to leave to feel safe then ultimately Eddie's feelings about it don't matter in the slightest. Chris is the priority
And I'm sure for plot purposes Chris is just "gone for the summer" which is a normal season finale thing. And then either he shows back up on his own in the s8 premier or the plot will take them to Texas to talk to him
But Eddie needs to show he's used the summer to actively better himself, because he and Chris can not continue on the way they were
#eddie is not fandom's poor little meow meow when it comes to chris#just really tired of people putting eddie's feelings above chris' well being#if eddie wants chris back he'll have to do the work to make himself better and their home a more stable environment#they should know from hen and karon that not all kids in the foster system are there because their parents are unfit or don't love them#sometimes they just need time to get better and build a home their child can feel safe in#so the plot could've been even more dramatic if chris told a teacher and they called cps and he went into emergancy fostercare#911 abc#eddie diaz#christopher diaz#I'm really hoping I don't get any interaction on this post cause I really just needed to get it off my chest but don't want anonhate lol

I think the reason I like oldboy so much is because deep down I too an a bitter old queen
#yes I'm barely in my 20s what's the point#i mean part of it is also that i want to fuck that old man (thank you alex for the fic <3)#but also i love to complain about everything and all of my writing is fuelled by going on AO3 and dramatically going ''this is all dogshit''#even though it all rules and I've read all the fics like 12 million times#but i get grumpy about it not being exactly the characterisations and ships and tropes (?) I like and therefore my brain has a strop#i still love it though please do keep making art & fic and stuff it's all wonderful#my brain is just a nasty little gremlin that occasionally needs to get beaten with a stick sometimes#though at least i don't immediately go online and start publically talking shit about people who#don't write exactly what i want how i want it#which is a totally neutral statement and definitely not referring to any one individual in the fandom hahahahaha#what was i talking about#oh yeah anyway if you ever want to talk shit about anything my DMs are open and my anons are on I love that shit <3#uhhhh#disco elysium#jules pidieu

You don't know how much I can Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint code Enstars because I could. Because you have a set up where you are basically taking the place of Anzu--a person created simply to be the reader's/player's self-insert. Because the characters all exist to love Anzu while they're going through their own arcs. Because Anzu also exists to love and support the characters by the game's own coding. She is their world and their hope, and the enstars characters are her idols (and I don't just mean that as singers and dancers).
But slowly, I've seen posts and even small summaries of how Anzu starts becoming her own person, small ways apart from the characters. Yes, she's still quiet. Yes, she is almost always a Viewer. Except for the fact that this is a game story, not just a book or novel story. And games are meant to be played...not by the characters but by someone who is watching them but has not created them.
This is how Anzu has more power than a normal reader. This is also how she has less power than a normal reader. The game allows her to exercise power over the characters' lives that a normal reader of a book cannot--she can help along Trickstar, be the behind the scenes producer for a number of the idol groups in the school, doing something to make them shine. But she is always a puppet, controlled by the player. She has a silly personality with a questionable naming sense and determination and hard-headedness to boot...her preferences for the units and who she builds up are always changing according to the player. Her only goal is to make sure her idols shine (what more does a reader want than to see their characters shine?), yet the goal of the Enstars characters is to adore Anzu and make people like her who support them happy (where would the characters be without a reader?)
Like the Oldest Dream, she is the most powerful and weakest god of all. A puppet steered by the fantasies of many, many individuals yet always loved by the characters for "herself."
#okay first of all#orv spoilers#i know this is incoherent and slightly dramatic but FJIASOJEIRWERe#i am honestly OBSESSED with the self-insert aspect of this game#i know this is probably not how self-insert is supposed to work#and i stay far away from self-insert fics cause theyre not my thing#but like....a y/n character as an actual character????#i latch onto anzu so much like girl i love you. you are yourself. you are me. you are the other people in the fandom who play this game#she really is everything and everyone#please forgive me i know its not that deep but i think it would be so cool of the writers to one day release a story that has an anzu card#where she becomes part of the world....#that would be both the most hilarious thing and horrifying as well if written right#fandom spamdom#enstars#ensemble stars#stuff i say#seriously tho i keep thinking about it compared to orv#and how people always talk about yjh and kdj as a ship. and how anzu sometimes gets romance-coded words thrown at her#(maybe more in basic but i still need to read the basic stories)#and when you really think about it the relationship between the characters and reader really is like....every kind of love#its a romance that isnt a romance. a family that isnt a family. a friendship that isnt a friendship#you know what i mean?#yeah someone gag me before i start overthinking this i swear i am very normal about this game#okay finally finished this thing in my drafts and im having second thoughts about posting but ah well....#this game is making me insane i think

#i have just realized i dont trust any tumblr blogs that are popular like obviously over 15k followers level popular bc#it almost always means they got their followers like pre 2014 when tumblr was kinda cool and full of people and#most of them have not updated their vibes since those days much at all and#anytime i see them posting its just like a reminder of all the shit i dont miss about early tumblr hahaha#like i specifically remember around 2010 when i would creep these incredibly mean and dramatic people with probably tens of thousands#followers and it was so lame and they were always toxic af anyways!!#this is to say that tumblr is actually way more enjoyable to me now that its quieter and getting that many followers is nearly impossible#and i love that its not really a bunch of 'tumblr famous' asshats and mostly just anonymous folks posting on their lil blogs#that is the aspect of current tumblr that truly feels like a remnant of vintage internet experience to me rn#at least in the dn fandom where i mostly hang out#like before influencers existed and everyone was just chillin#p

idk if that poll means viv betrays you or like. solas. he kinda betrays you by wanting to end the world ig
Yes! Yes sorry i tried to say that later in my tags haha, I just mean the whole betrayal thing reminds me of this very intense first impression of Viv, that's all. Whenever I think about the whole "mage betrayal" thing, I think of that just because I knew that my hurt feelings over Anders "betrayal" REALLY colored my choices in that (fairly early) character quest, ya know? And I feel bad haha, like it sucks and I wish she'd just given me more context T_T
#cuz like she doesn't betray you yeah haha she just isn't transparent and i was WORRIED she would#burn me once burn me twice thing ya know ya know#anon#asks#answers#And again I'll say it here so this isn't taken too out of context -#I don't really think anders betrayed you like that's a little dramatic#not you specifically anon haha just the da fandom in general imo#and again the metaphor I think of it as is like#if your friend shoplifts while you're with them but doesn't tell you until after#you'd be mad probably? but I'm not like Against Shoplifting in any meaninful way#i get why anders did what he did#would I make the same choice? I dunno prob not (in this fictional context with this fictional world and people omfg)#and i dont love he involved us without asking#but i dont feel betrayed haha#just hesitant to go shopping for sus shit the next time some nice mage asks me you know??#and again not even cuz like oh all mages shoplift HAHA wait this metaphor is running away with me haha sorry omfg#just like that seems to be a thing the WRITERS like to do haha#like it's a common plot device at this point so I'm JUST!!!#LITTLE SUS right off the bat is all haha#jeez i talk too much take my keyboard away lol

I'm here, crawling out of my little hole to say that I am currently in Melbourne (in fact, I've been in Oz for almost 6 months y'all, it's been a wild year), so guess who's gonna look up filming locations for The Pacific and sob about walking the same ground as not only Robert Leckie, but also my boy James Badge Dale and the rest of the cast and crew?
#This is probably going to be the closest I'll ever get to either of those people I am shooketh#I had forgotten like all of the show was filmed down here in Australia with Melbs being the backdrop for all city locations#So like watch me run down Flinders Street with the soundtrack playing and trying to figure out if I recognise anything#Spilling the peaches#Other people: Oh my god Melbs is so trendy and cool I love it here#Me: ROBERT LECKIE WHERE#I may not be an active member of any fandoms anymore but The Pacific is still near and dear to my heart#Also like not to be dramatic but I'm very emotional about this city for no reason#It's been a long day okay I just got here

sometimes i think abt how sakura's become so widely-spread and misinformed in that mass-production that she's almost become this caricature of the third female member in a trio who is a 'girl-boss who is so cool and is so sexy or so confident etc' when, in fact, she's actually a character with believable flaws and unique characteristic pertaining specifically to the experiences she's endured, and she's beyond someone everyone mass-ships or mass-hates, and in this essay i will—
#thinking about how many people mary sue'd her#including myself unfortunately before i reread part 2#and like.......... god.#the way she has compassion and genuine goals and has her unique insecurity and flaws#and she has her strengths and her own determination#and the way the fandom either..... simplifies her or reduces her just.#it grinds on my nerves!#the other day i read fanfics where s.akura supposedly is just endlessly irritated by i.no bc shes ''suffering'' so much#[to get the attention of a guy and i.no's being 'unreasonable']#and im like???????#WHAT DO U MEAN#im not even gonna go to that rabbit hole because i have like. RECEIPTS on how much i.no means to her#i 100% believe i.no quite literally is probs the first to SAVE HER when team 7 was .... not around#and this is beyond mentorship. she has genuine PEERS bc of i.no!#AGAIN. i could go on and on about that#on how much guilt and gratitude she probs feels abt the rest of konoha 11 who /did/ take her in#on how much PART of why she worked so hard — catching up to nrt and ssk aside — is BECAUSE she wants to save k11 when they NEED her#ok imma quit now before i go full on rambling#i love her soooo much. and team 7 is messy yes but i love their messy dynamic too!#but i simply detest how she's either an accessory. an obstacle. or this dramatic over-the-top heroine that can do-all#funny how her main narrative is always abt her wanting to be an equal to her teammates#and even outside of the narrative she's almost never that.#gen: out of character.
