[lcngdays]

Positivity anon here! Could I ask you to shout out to your five fave blogs? Just to make someone smile today and let them know you love their blog! Maybe even say a little about why!

Hello Beloved Positivity Anon! Sorry for the late reply, I don't get much done during the week, but the weekend is where I thrive! Now, it's hard to pick JUST FIVE FAVES. So I may have included a few more <3

@plcasantnights // While Corpse isn't active on tumblr anymore, he's still my absolute best friend ever. I love him with my whole heart and we've written countless stories together, we've met irl multiple times, and I just. Don't have enough good to say about this man. An incredible writer, a patient and understanding person, and someone I trust with my whole, authentic self. Long days and pleasant nights, bestie. <3

@cxldblxxded / @yxkanna / @striigon // MOOP!!! A very cool writer with a very keen sense of character creation. I love reading about their silly little guys and I love talking with them ooc! I feel like I can throw any must at them from my EXTENSIVE roster and they're down for it, no matter how silly it is!

@handgiven // WHAT IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT KAI!!!!! emmanuel is SO sweet and SO precious and I hold him so dear in my heart. One of the few characters that can put up with my more annoying characters with a smile on his face, the way Kai is able to write such a beautiful, well thought out angel is incredible. I love reading the eloquence of Emmanuel and love seeing everything Kai puts on the dash

@fangmother // HI HUNTER HI HUNTER!!!! hunter is so fucking cool you guys. they have the coolest posts both ic and ooc and i light up each time they come on the dash with anything new. rainer is so cringefail girlboss and i don't care how many times hunter tells me i'm wrong to love her, i'm still GOING TO!!!

@freekzout / @hungryyheart // VIV MAKES ME NOSTALGIC FOR THE NINTIES AND I WAS BORN IN 1997 SO THAT'S WILD!!! everything about the worlds that Viv has created makes me insane. be it cute little vampiis or straight up government coverups viv is SO creative and so nice ooc! puts up with me even though i forget to answer dms a million percent of the time!!

@burdenedwithfaith // every day it makes me insane that Prince isn't more popular on tumblr. i don't know anything about the series their character is from and yet and YET I am so so so INVESTED with him! I'm so invested with each little character moment and arc and I love writing with them to see where they're going to take it and take John!! even if you don't know the game their muse is from I highly encourage you to check them out because they're EPIC

@soulmissed // I haven't written a lot with Ruben (YET) but his character is SO well written. Ruben also always pops into my dms when I make a sad/venty post and checks on me and he has no idea how MUCH i appreciate that so i'm saying it here. thank you <3

@mr-pulvis // Ruth. Oh Ruth!!!!!! Ruth has known me since the beginning. Since I STARTED on tumblr! They have followed me through countless blogs, countless cringe, countless silliness and revamping and bad writing. I love Miles to death, I've always loved Miles, but Ruth doesn't get enough credit (from me at least!) for how cool and nice they are and how good of a writer they are. here's to many MORE years of knowing each other!!!

@pistolsister + many more blogs in their pinned! // Even though we've followed each other for a long time, we've only JUST started writing together. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN FULLY RESPONDED TO ANYTHING YET I DON'T THINK IT'S ALL IN THE QUEUE! but mille is very cool, very easy to bounce ideas off of and i love each and every one of their characters. SO well thought out, SO easy to write against and just a sweet person over all!

@wehavefoundthestars // EVE!!!! I LOVE OUR SLOWBURN BOYS!!!! But I also love writing with them with ANY of my characters! we're always in each other's dms after each response excitedly chatting away! a very fun person to write with and be around!

@lovepurposed // hi orion :3 orion and I are also a duo who have known each other for a long while. not as long as some of the people on this list, but we've always seemed to find each other on tumblr some way and some how, despite moving blogs or just falling out of certain fandoms. orion is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and I'm looking forward to writing with orion for a long, long time to come.

@amischiefofmuses // NEVER DID I EVER EXPECT TO FIND SOMEONE IN SO MANY OF THE SAME FANDOMS AS ME. homestuck, invader zim, undertale, hazbin, you NAME it we have it in common. magpie is SO fun to write with, and i think they're just RLLY COOL NGL AND SUCH A GOOD WRITER

@spokewar // MARCI!!!!! so good at writing it makes me insane that they even write WITH me. i followed them originally with sass and their sam winchester but things just blossomed from there into an epic scifi adventure with a little alien prince and obi-wan (AND I HAVENT EVEN SEEN STAR WARS LMAO) marci is super cool and super fun to be around and is a very comforting presence when i get worried about wanting to do something new!

@dumbthink // KC i have followed all over tumblr. i love writing with them, i love all the stories they create, i LOVE all their silly little characters and how well they can analyze LITERALLY ANYTHING!!!!

A Shifting Attempt Storytime - Part 3

Hey guys, it's c! Today I have a new shifting attempt storytime that I'd like to share with you. I'm trying to avoid disappearing off the face of the earth when it comes to shifting. I don't know how you guy's can balance all these assignments along with shifting fr. I really want to actually shift to my drs, and it would make this year even more amazing once i do. Let's get into the storytime.

In the morning of February 1, 2024

So I had just woken up and decided to just fall back asleep again since I didn't have classes. I got comfortable and I put on a Raven Method guided meditation by Alunir on youtube. I also had in queue a Julia Method theta waves subliminal to play after the guided meditation was over.

During the guided meditation, I felt very comfortable and my body was extremely relaxed. I wasn't really visualizing anything, which i should've been. psa: none of my dr scripts are finished yet but even though none of them were done, I just wanted to try and shift. I didn't really care where I ended up, I just wanted it to happen.

My body and mind were extremely relaxed and I began to fall asleep. (That's my goal which is to fall asleep and wake up in my desired reality). I don't remember when exactly I fell asleep, I just remember feeling like I was in this space of black and I was very aware of my mind? I don't know what that was, but I had the intention of falling asleep and so I eventually fell asleep. I don't know anything about "the void" and need to do my research on it but, would that be entering "the void"? I'm really not sure.

Anyway, I just woke up and there wasn't really any reason for it. It just happened and then I put on the Julia Method Subliminal video (WHICH I FEEL IS VERY POWERFUL BY THE WAY). The last time I used this subliminal, I was the closest I've ever been with shifting to my dr. I felt like my consciousness literally was floating out and detaching itself from my body. It felt like the room had begin to spin and I felt like I got hit by a bus. It freaked me out so bad that I snapped myself out of it and took a long shifting break after that.

Back to the story, I fell straight to sleep again with that playing but I kept waking up to make sure to keep the intention of shifting? if that makes sense? I started to feel a numbness through my whole body and was only aware of my mind again. I felt like I was detaching from my cr body but not enough to shift. Then I lost focus and fell asleep again.

That's pretty much it. I did dream but it was nothing related to shifting. This was a trial and error shifting attempt. Nevertheless, I think this was a pretty good attempt. I haven't tried to shift in awhile and I kinda missed feeling the symptoms. If you guys have any tips or comments lmk down in the comments or message me! Happy Shifting!

xoxo, c <3

Announcement

I submitted this as a feedback ticket, but I have no faith left in Tumblr so this will likely be my sign-off.

The recent changes to both web and mobile have effectively rendered Tumblr unpalatable and borderline unusable. The "new" twitter-style interface for web is absolutely atrocious. Does not scale the UI with screen resolution so 60% of my screen is wasted. Even with all that wasted space, the activity and message popouts open OVER THE DASH. Have to continue to snooze the blatant data-theft tool that is Tumblr Live every seven days even though there is no chance I will EVER use it. New mobile lightbox finally got the fix to allow double-tap to zoom, but is still unusable because after you've zoomed in, if you accidentally scroll too far and start to swipe to the (absolutely useless and unwanted) "related content", then you can no longer single tap to hide the UI. So much for being able to read the text or see the details for which I needed to zoom in to begin with. All of these changes keep coming rapid fire while there is still little to no progress being made on things that users actually want: a usable search function, proactive action on bots, proactive action on hate speech. Also while all of this is going on, someone(s) in your moderation and review team is singling out trans women's posts/pictures as "mature content" regardless of how G-rated the actual content is. I'm in my second year of paying for ad-free. I'm not even halfway through the second year but I'm basically writing it off as a loss. I've set my queues to all run dry in about 7 days and then all my blogs will go silent. I'll check back in a week but my hope that ANYTHING will move in a positive direction is very low. I've been an account-holding Tumblr user for 9 years, and I was here just looking for a year or more before that. I came here to escape the toxicity of fan communities elsewhere and even though there's plenty of that here, it's so much easier to not see it with the chrono-dash, functional blocking tools, etc. Tumblr is the only "social media" I still use and if nothing changes then I guess I'll finally be free. I don't want to have to leave. I liked it here, but you have gone too far.

My queues will all run out in 7-8 days (probably 9 for @i-like-thing because I can't set the queue to more than 50 posts a day). If by some miracle this actually ends up getting a response from @staff and things improve, I might be back, but as I said, I have no faith left.

It's been a fun 9 years of colorful ponies, outer space adventures, cute animal friends, and assorted shitposting. Maybe I'll see you out there!

[fortheloveofexy]

hi! i've been thinking about you recently and i hope you're doing well. <3

hello anon! :) I'm doing well, thank you for asking!

Lately work has been really busy (I have a new manager who is giving me a lot of new projects, but it's work that I enjoy so I don't really mind). I'm also finally addressing some health issues that I've been neglecting for the last few years, mainly because I simply did not have the time to deal with it while I was in school. Now that I'm graduated, I'm playing catch up on a lot of it.

I've been pretty busy in my evenings too, trying to wrap up all of the commissions currently in my queue so I have those off my plate. Now that mixtape is done, I'm also pivoting to work on the next fandom event I'm involved in (I don't know how many details we can share publicly, but keep an eye out for some new art from me later this year in June 👀). After that, I'll be taking a break from drawing for a good long while.

I haven't written anything much since the beginning of the year, but I'm hoping once my art obligations and all of their associated scary deadlines are crossed off my list, I can circle back to writing more. I actually miss the physical act of writing, which honestly has not happened in a long time. Most of the time, writing feels like a chore that I must do to get to the fun part: the story in my head actually existing. It's like washing the dishes - i don't do it because I like the task, I do it because I like having clean forks.

It'll be nice to get back into writing and actually enjoy the process and not just the end result.

WR&R MYSTERY KIDS LORE & WORLDBUILD MASTER POST

Gear up, kids, because this will be a long one.

It's been a while since I posted a new comic. Pretty soon there'll be a bunch, because I've been sitting on a mountain of scripts and just started making progress on actually making them into comics. I wanna build up a nice little backlog that I can queue up and not worry about for a long while. In the meantime though, I have something I hope will tide you guys over.

There's been a problem with my comic from the very beginning I've never really thought to address for years, and until now, I never found a good place for it. That problem is "worldbuilding." Originally when this comic started out, it was just a Psychonauts comic. Then I got into Mystery Kids, and the MKs just showed up out of nowhere.

If you're still interested, click under the cut. If you already find this post boring and kind of long, just skip it.

We never got any information on how the Mystery Kids club started or how they all met. For the longest time, I kind of just defered to the collective fandom's various disorganized headcanons and ideas and stuff. But I think enough time has passed that those ideas have all changed, been forgotten about, or branched off into their own individual works.

So, it's finally time for me to fix that by giving this comic its own set of lore and backstory. In this post I'm going to explain how everything happened, how the kids came together and what order everything happened in. This is kind of written for my own personal amusement, but also as a guide to keep in mind when I'm writing new stories in this setting, to keep things consistent.

PART ONE: THE CANON HISTORY

The first step for this little exercise is to figure out when all the stuff in the original "canon" happened. This is where things get a little messy, because we have to figure out a proper order for everything so all the pieces can fit into place.

First, we have to come up with a system for naming the different eras and phases where things happen, so we can more easily compartmentalize the different events. So we'll call the first year the Mystery Kids are together "Year One." Anything before that we'll call Year -1 or -2.

Year -2 is where we'll put the events of Paranorman. They happen in Fall, around Halloween probably. Nearly the end of the year. It's important to set this part the furthest back for reasons we'll get into later.

Year -1 is where we'll put Coraline and Psychonauts. Dipper and Mabel are still in Pidemont. There are a few references in the comic to Raz still having a water problem due to "the curse." But in PN2 he conquers the curse. We'll chock that up to lingering after-effects and him trying to get past the mental block.

Near the end of Year -1, Aggie returns and reunites with Norman in events identical to how they played out in Ask-Norgatha. A lot of things that happen are very similar to that old blog, with the exception being Norman and Aggie don't get together. That comes later.

Year 1 is when Gravity Falls happens. Coraline and Norman are family friends (or cousins? I haven't decided, maybe not. Maybe 'honoary cousins'?) Anyway, so: things play out pretty much how they did in that fan episode people made. Doctor Loboto (during a villainous relapse, or a manic episode) comes to Gravity Falls, Raz and Lili chase after him, Coraline and Wybie come with Norman's family on a vacation to Gravity Falls. Aggie stays behind because Norman doesn't want her to get lost. At this point, her Poltergeist powers haven't kicked in yet and other people can't see her, meaning she'd have no way to get home.

So, during Loboto's shennanigans, the kids all come together to stop him. That's when we move into…

PART TWO: THE FANON HISTORY

Note: in this period, my comic has a lot of Holiday specials. We're operating on Peanuts rules here, where the time-scaling slides around to keep the characters from aging. But we'll say in the "real" canon, the stuff that happens on Holidays actually happen on regular days, for the most part. If things "have to" happen on a Holiday, they'll all happen on the same one, just at different times. We'll try not to think too hard about this, because it's just a cartoon. We're out to make a consistent world, but not to arbitrarily restrict ourselves. None of this stuff happened in the "real" world anyway.

Anyway, moving right along to the rest of "Year 1." This is for the comics I made while the show was still airing, so things all kind of click together.

This is where the first Mystery Kids Adventure happens. The kids are all united and save the day. All of this happens right in the middle of the events of Gravity Falls. From then on out, the kids have adventures together on and off, but its a little hard because they have to travel a pretty great distance to hang out together. They keep in touch on social media and stuff, occasionally finding ways to fake excuses to go out and travel together. But mostly, the group is pretty disorganized.

Dib is also a mindless fanboy of the group and wants to join, but everybody thinks he's weird and annoying, so they try their best to politely blow him off. Then he builds a teleporter that lets the kids get together easier, but the thing just barely works. Dib is made a "junior member" and just sort of hangs around.

The kids have a "clubhouse", but it's just a shanty shack built by Soos, half a mile away from the Mystery Shack.

At some point during this period, the Bedlam returns and the kids have to team up to stop her. Aggie helps somehow with her newly-emerging poltergiest powers. The Bedlam is defeated, and that's the last "real" adventure they have for a little while. They don't have a reliable way to meet up anymore, so they only get together for parties and stuff. This is where the Season 3 Finale happens, if you've read my archives.

PART THREE: THE CURRENT SITUATION

From Season 4 and onwards, everything that happens to the Mystery Kids happens in Year 2. That's where we are now.

It starts with Dib on one of his own little adventures. Somehow, he ends up stumbling on an abandoned treehouse that used to belong to the Kids Next Door. It hasn't been populated in years, but its full of still-functional tech that just got left behind. With it, Dib's able to power-up the teleporter technology and now the Mystery Kids can come together whenever they want. You need to stand perfectly still for like five minutes for the teleporter to work, so it isn't a "get out of danger free" plot device.

Seems like a REALLY important development to happen offscreen and go totally unmentioned, right? Well… I thought of it retroactively, so, whoops! But it's fine. We'll just have to make a flashback comic later where the kids find it.

So, from now on, everything that happens in the comic happens here, in Year 2.

If you've read this far, I'd like to thank you for humoring my nonsensical fanfiction ramblings for my silly mspaint webcomic. I hope you had fun and got as much out of that as I did. I'm really happy I was finally able to put it all together in one coherent place.

[dirtangeldean]

hi ren! i was wondering why you don't want your donation post tagged? tagging crowdfunding etc posts helps me find them again on my blog easily to rereblog in case they haven't hit their goal yet but i don't wanna make you uncomfortable

cw: weight talk/health issues

anon hiiii, i’m really glad you asked this and finally have capacity to write out fully why! so thank you 🤗

among the millions of users on this app, some things have gotten super cemented as The Way™ but that means staff knows it too.

while the 4 tags: “s***nal b***t”, c**wdf*nd”, “d**nation”, and “mu**al a*d” may seem helpful for sorting and awareness at face value, we as users have been using and overusing them for years. it’s like a sick joke to chronically poor “ebeggers” as we have been named by old reddit.

bottom line is staff hates poor people; even before they decided to take away tipping soon, they flagged posts and sh**ow ba**ed accounts, deleted users (usual poor and black/indigenous/of color) while letting gen pop think they were doing a good job. my main account has over 3k followers and i cant get any post i make over 3 notes anymore despite being a semi popular radical blog.

my messaging was taken away. i could hit post limit and still have activity of max 20 notes a day. the post itself could be randomly deleted or even hard to search all of a sudden even with a tag. it’s awful to be isolated on the internet when you’re poor. :/ call me paranoid but i barely touch my main account now.

anyway, my fandom blog doesn’t deserve a forced lack of community and i love you guys too much to not be able to see/be seen or talk to my friends. ive already been told by staff that this blog was flagged as spam once and they took away my messages, right after my last sciatic spasm. it took Weeks to get messages back.

it was awful, i was living in the dark and only eating egg cheese sandwiches or sugar rice and water bc i couldnt afford anything else. i’m not going back to that. i’ve gained weight that is making my bones hurt bc of my poverty food choices and forced sedentary lifestyle while healing my back. and i’m only just now getting back going walking and being employed sporadically. it’s super hard to not have help and not have a job bc of disability discrimination AND have deconditioned muscles. poor nutrition is horrible for muscle. it’s even harder to stomach getting 3 thousand notes on something and $17 while i owe Thousands the way it works on my main account.

if i can do anything to advocate for myself, it’s to ask this: dont use old, overused tags. get creative with tags so more people see and wont restrict me. tag comerades/mutuals in the post. tag the post with a random well wish like “good luck” or something. literally anything but the most common 4 tags. the same way people get creative with the name for their queues!

i made a post about other/different tags that can be used but it doesnt have a ton of notes, i tried looking for and i cant find it which shows 1. the tumblr tagging system still sucks 2. it will never get a ton of notes. many of the posts in the tags mention in the beginning of this post barely reach 100 notes. mathematically a post could need like 9,000 notes to be fully funded depending on the amount. there’s a post in there with 22 notes, unless that person makes a new post everyday (i know a person who does that), it’s a wasted effort and some days i barely have spoons to get up and relieve myself tbh :/

anyway, especially with things that took years to happen or months to fix, it’d just be nice if post got notes into 1k-10k territory to be effective.

i hope some or any of this answers your question, let me know if you have more! have a great day!

[toomuchracket]

girl. You are not coming across as needy. I am NOSY. Being in love??? Leaving for 5 months?? Would it make u feel better if we all share our most heartbreaking stories 🙏🏻🙏🏻

buckle up babies, it's a loooooong story

so. i'm doing a masters degree rn, a writing one. it's at the same uni i did my undergrad at, so on day 1 i was like oh ok i know some people but i don't know others, and i'm standing outside the class before we're due to start talking to some people i knew. and this new guy walks up, and my heart falls out of my ass (for lack of a better expression). tall(er than me), dark curls, eyes like paul mescal, lithe, lips that i wanted to superglue myself to. he's on the course too. we introduce ourselves. when we go into the room, he sits next to me. i look to the side at one point and my eyes are ASSAULTED by a glimpse of a silver chain around his neck. oof. i get the subtle feeling that this man may be a problem for me.

nothing huge happens for a while. we talk. we become friends. we get into a routine of walking towards the train stations (we leave from different ones) after classes. we become so close we begin to proof each other's work. he opens up to me during the process, and i reciprocate. he's sensitive in a non-toxic way. he's always down for a group hangout after class. he's a year older than i am. he likes to buy me drinks and gets annoyed when i try to do the same for him, but begrudgingly accepts my politeness - i soon learn just to let him foot the bills. he likes to gently take the piss out of me, see me blush and stutter over my words as i defend myself. i normally hate that, but not from him.

and then we're in a last-minute writing session with some other friends one night - finalising the pieces we've been proofing for each other. he's opposite me, then sits beside me - thighs-touchingly close. pulls my laptop to him and just reads. i tell him there's something i'm not happy with. he says i'm daft for thinking that. while he reads, he praises my work, praises my ideas, praises me, bordering on whispering this directly in my ear. he holds my hand and squeezes it when i leave for the train that night. i read his work when i get home, and praise it in return over text. he tells me i'm being too nice to him.

the next time something happens is at a literary event. at first the table is full of our friends, and then they peel off one by one, until it's me and him and wine and candlelight and vulnerable conversation and supportive arm touches - he likes to do that too, i notice, but he's always initially hesitant, as if i'll mind. i never do. he listens to me fully, looks at me softly but intently, smiles at me like he's discovering joy for the first time. i'm more aware of my heartbeat than i ever have been before. he walks me all the way to my station that night, still talking to me about anything and everything. i give him a music recommendation. he takes it gladly. when we part, there's another arm touch, but it feels like there should've been more.

i don't see him until the new year. his hair is shorter, but it still looks good. he misses an event. i tell him he's missed. he's touched by that. i share an idea for a novel i want to write, and it moves him. he says he loves the way my brain works.

we go to another event. he asks to meet me from the train and get the subway through to the venue. we chat. we laugh. he fake cries when i walk too far ahead of him. we sit, squished like sardines in a tin, on the subway. i think of the Don't Delete The Kisses video and blush. he smiles at me. we walk along to the venue. it's cold, but beautiful. i desperately want to hold his hand. when we reach the queue our friends say our names in the same breath. it sounds like we're together. i like it a lot. we sit next to each other inside - thighs touching, our usual, in the darkness of the theatre. we buy each other drinks, and get a bit tipsy. we laugh at the event, whisper our opinions, turn to each other when we think of something clever. time wears on. he checks his watch, and leans into me. do i want to leave with him now, so we can both get the train home in time? yes. i do. he waits until i buy some merch, then we go - back into the beautiful night, back into the cold. this time, i'm brave, and squish into him to keep him warm. he doesn't say anything, but it doesn't feel weird. he leans on me in the subway - not full head on shoulder, but still. when we get back out into the night and have to part ways, he pulls me into a tight hug and tells me to get home safe. this is new. this is big.

he's quiet the next time we're in class together. neither of us mention the previous weekend, but when he leaves early he reaches his hand out to me, then pulls it away quickly. hmmm.

i get a piece published - the one he praised in my ear. he texts me a congratulations, says i deserve it. the next time i see him, he hangs back in a bust corridor to walk with me and tell me he's proud of me. i preen a bit.

and then i lose him a bit. there's another girl. they're on a work experience module together. she has a complex love life. i think nothing of it, until he appears on her instagram story one day, boyfriend-like in a museum archive room. my heart sinks into my stomach. whatever.

we don't see each other for a fortnight. classes are on a break, deadlines are piling in. and then today. our last classes of the course. we talk as normal. he's hyper. it's cute. we go for drinks with our friends after class - he finally lets me buy him one, but insists on buying the final round. we open up about our work again, bounce ideas around, reassure the other that their plans are great. i can feel myself looking at him adoringly. i want him to talk to me forever. when i talk, he leans his head on the table, tilts it up towards me, smiles tenderly, and looks at me like i hung the moon. my heart swells. it's overwhelming.

he has to leave for a meeting. we won't see each other until we graduate. he tells the group he's bad at keeping in touch with people. i tell him i'll make sure he improves. he giggles. says he'll hold me to that. winks at me, waves to the group, and leaves. i miss him as soon as he walks round the corner. the thought of five months without him makes me want to cry.

he's all i've thought about since i got home. i don't want him to not be in my life. but i don't know what'll happen now.

Suede #17: Independent Venue Week/BBC 6music, Stereo, Glasgow

I don't know how every single Suede show manages to be more special than the last but show diary under the read more

Left home immediately after my shift on Thursday night and headed up to Glasgow to stay with Jason. We caught up and watched Four In Bed, before I left him at 8:15 the next morning to get to Stereo. I arrived at the venue at 9:00, 11 hours before doors, and sat on the steps with breakfast and a book. A couple of friends joined within an hour and by lunchtime there were a dozen of us catching up outside. We had a lovely (if garlicky) lunch in the venue café, saw the band arrive and Steve Lamacq interviewing Brett and Mat at one end of the café. Then back outside to queue for the show, a bit of standard-issue drama but they let me in first and I got a barrier spot just off centre towards Richard. The support act were nice, an acoustic duo with a Mazzy Star sort of vibe to them. Eventually, Suede. Opening with That Boy On The Stage and Personality Disorder, Brett was leaping and yelling and squealing from the beginning. Song three was The Drowners and off he went into the crowd so I thought I wouldn't see him but he came back to the barrier for the end to offer me an unforgettable moment. Stood on the barrier step in front of me, he turned to me and leaned in, singing the 'you're taking me over, oh' outro line until our faces were so close that there was just room for his microphone between us. I put my arms around him and he hugged me, pressing his face against mine, cheek to cheek. It was utterly bizarre, unreal, even writing it now I feel like I'm conjuring up fan-fiction. The rest of the set is a blur of songs old and new, Brett not out on the barrier again for a while but the stage close enough for him to hold my hand from there during Snowblind and Metal Mickey. They didn't play anything super rare but there were a lot of sound/tech issues that Brett had to keep pestering Neil about, and he just couldn't get his acoustic Wild Ones off the ground and had to give up. He remained cheerful though which was nice because sometimes tech issues put him in a mood and throw off the gig. At the end during Beautiful Ones he made his way along the barrier again, singing 'shaking their tits to the hits' to me at the start and clamping a hand around my wrist towards the end. They closed with New Generation which I didn't expect but love so overall a great set (although I missed The Only Way I Can Love You). After the show the band left for their hotel immediately so after a break for food we went back into the bar for the afterparty, which was Suede/indie/Britpop. We danced to Suede and the other good stuff, and protested Blur, until 3am. After 5 hours sleep I had to check out of the hotel but met back up with everyone who had stayed over to say goodbyes and do a bit of wandering/shopping in the city, eventually heading back home once everyone else was off to the airport. Aside from a fight in the bus depot the trip home was uneventful, just trying to stay awake on each leg of the journey until I was home in my pyjamas reflecting. My wish for Suede shows in 2023 was to capture Brett's attention enough for him to hug me when he was mingling with the crowd and I seem to somehow have surpassed that on night one so I'm so excited to see what the rest of the year has in store ❤

I really wish there was more time in the day :(

For anyone that was interested in seeing me post my Futurama episode reviews I'm so sorry I've been awol on here for the past few weeks! I promise I will make the individual posts for each episode up until now with the screen shots and what not on my next day off this Tuesday (which I will then prob queue throughout the week until we're caught up so I don't spam the Futurama tag), so pls bare with me T_T

Work's been awful now that back to school's started back up, and if anyone's ever done retail during this time of year, you may be able to sympathize with me when I say that sometimes I just want to go to lunch and not come back, thus making it difficult for me to find the motivation to do anything let alone interact with this blog, write reviews or fics, etc. :(

However, I am fortunate enough to have not just one special interest to keep me going during this difficult time, with the new Metalocalypse movie/Dethklok album coupled with the new Venture Bros. movie being the next 2 big things I'll probably be focused about on my blog, so while I have always posted about a grab bag of different things on here pls don't be surprised if moving forward you start seeing me suddenly spam reblogs involving these 2 shows (don't worry, I won't be posting any spoilers myself, and if you want me to tag anything I reblog as such, pls let me know)~

In short, aside from giving an update about why my Futurama episode posts haven't been, well, posted since I've been busy, I just wanted to let any new followers be aware in case they want to block certain tags since I plan on spamming reblogs for these topics for awhile, so if these things aren't your cup of tea here's your heads up! In the meantime, however, if you are a Futurama, Metalocalypse, or Venture Bros. fan, I hope you enjoy :3

Oh, and before I forget, part of what gave me the motivation to write this to begin with is because I was finally able to get my hands on not just the new Venture Bros. movie, but also the complete series box set as well lol

This isn't meant to be a flex or anything btw, I just love physical media, and after all the shit that went down with WB and HBO Max (which I originally subbed to to watch adult swim stuff) I'm just finally happy to own something that was a big part of my teen years~ Now just to get the new ATHF movie and the Army of the Doomstar and then I'll be good~

[railroad-migraine]

Druid!S/O's Day Out Date

Ashton 💙

You're only there five minutes before Ashton flops down to lay out in the sun, starfished on the ground as he begins to soak up the rays. I've mentioned this before, but some earth genasis react to heat the same way a rock does - in this case, Ashton's skin slowly begins to prickle with warmth the longer they lie there. A living heat stone. This is the best opportunity you'll get to sneak up and curl into their side for a cuddle and a snooze.

Shrugs off their jacket and rolls up their trouser legs and sets their boots and gear to the side. He's holding your hand to keep him you balanced as you both wade barefoot in the shallows of the lake. You find pretty pebbles and common gemstone debris, smoothed glass chips of wine bottles from fey dinner parties hundreds of years ago. He pockets every fragment he comes across, each a little reminder of this place and time spent with you.

Will most definitely push you into the water, practically cackles when you resurface. Your clothes are drenched, soaked to the bone and clinging to your skin, but they will happily kiss you deeply when you pull them in after you. Try not to imagine them picking you up and twirling you around effortlessly - they're a strong boi, he can do it no problem. Eventually, he settles you down carefully, grinning so freely and genuinely, mirroring your own expression.

-

Chetney 💙

He was immediately drawn to the idea of fishing in the nearby lake. Or I should say, Chetney tried one attempt at fishing, and failed miserably to catch anything. He ended up kneeling by the bank with his hands dipping into the water while he watches his elusive ex-prey swim within the crystal clear lake. He's pouting as they flicker by, but secretly likes the sun on the back of his neck and the coolness of the water. It's more bearable a tease when you pat his shoulder and murmur reassuring words.

Hums and sings softly while he works away with a carving he brought with him, his voice carried on the breeze as it ruffles your clothes. He's no bard - far from it - but he finds a comfortable range in familiar lyrics, and it's all you need while the creak bubbles and the trees creak contentedly.

While you settle down at the base of your new favourite tree, a journal or spell book or novel in hand, your faithful gnome scuttles around in a circle on all fours, getting himself comfy, before nuzzling his head in your lap. After barely tracing his forehead with a finger and scritching him behind the ears, he's fully conked out, fast asleep and snoring.

-

Dorian 💙

Give this man a bottle of sparkling wine and a flower crown, stat. He's come prepared with a makeshift picnic in his pack - cheeses, cured meats, fruit, crusty bread, cream and chocolate and whatever else you may desire. Dorian knows what you like and how to make it, and does it especially well when it's dessert related. Manages to forget a blanket to sit on, but happily spreads out his cape across the vibrant grass instead.

You bet your butt he's brought his instruments to serenade you as the sun goes down, inking the watercolour sky with blues, reds, oranges, pinks and purples. His face is warm under your gaze, his fingers catching strings on his lute or gasping for breath on his flute, a bit nervous. But you barely notice. How could you when the moment is so perfect and he keeps looking at you like that?

Holds out his hand to you, sighs a smile when you take it, gently pulls you close and slowly begins to sway to the music that nature provides. He twirls you around when birds flock overhead. You return the favour as leaves crunch underfoot. He bows like the gent he is and kisses your knuckles just as the light begins go dim.

-

Fearne 💙

It's initially a bit chaotic, I'm not gonna lie. You both enter you secret clearing, hand in hand as Fearne begins to ooh and ahh at the picturesque scene ahead. The moment is then disturbed by Little Mister screeching and scrambling up one of the large oak trees. You and the faun have to coo reassuringly at him once he scales to the top, suddenly afraid of his newfound height.

Once he's back on the ground though, it's such a lovely day. She begins picking flowers and berries growing on the outskirts of the glade, and organises them into separate pouches (toxic and non toxic - please don't let her mix up which one is which) for later shenanigans. You don't think she can talk to plants, but she claims that the red clovers won't stop gushing about how perfect you are.

Provides the most amazing cuddles once her curiosity towards the flora has been sated. Both of you being druids, together you fashion delicate pillows of flowers and leaves, a blanket in case the sun sets too soon. She's soft and strong as she holds you close, your nose in her hair - ticklish, perhaps, but worth it when she smells of rain and fire and magic.

-

Imogen 💙

She brings this massive sun hat with a brim that keeps flopping over her face and accidentally covering her eyes. Imogen huffs and says it's more of a hindrance than helpful, but she's literally so cute that you duck under it to give her unexpected surprise kisses throughout the day. She stammers every time but always melts just as you move away.

She gets freckles on her shoulders and legs as she spends the day in soft sunlight with you, enjoying the peace and quiet your hideaway offers. She can finally breathe and hear herself think, your thoughts sometimes bleeding in with hers - not overwhelming, but welcome. She has a book to read, flicking through chapter after chapter with ease for the first time in what feels like ever. The isolation is a welcome sensation, the absence of her headaches unusual but a gift.

Begins to read out loud when you move to sit behind her, arms curling around her middle and perching your chin on her shoulder. She muffles a laugh when you absentmindedly place a kiss to her skin there, especially if she's reciting a chapter from the romance novel. She shies away at some of the cheesier scenes, and is reassured by your combined comments and thoughts, but inevitably sets the book down in favour of the wonderful person beside her.

-

Laudna 💙

The flowing layered grey skirt with frills at the hem that she chose today is specially worn for you this occasion. She slips off her shoes and swings them gently by the ribbons as she walks ahead of you, the grounding of the soil and grass beneath her feet, the softness of the skirt's material swaying about her legs, and the warmth of the sun on her face is delightful. She's basically glowing and feels alive and new. It makes your heart happy to see your favourite person in your favourite place.

Adores cloud watching. Despite her seemingly frail form, she drags you along to a lovely patch of grass and urges you to lie down, and she follows you after to lay her head on your shoulder. She begins to point out and speculate shapes overhead, naming creatures and characters you've never heard of before but so terribly wish to get to know. You both combine your cloud shapes and act out their stories before they drift away.

She feels like a princess with her druid lover in such a secluded paradise. You're braiding flowers into her hair in the shade (she burns easily) while she chatters away with Pâté and Sashimi in her lap. Once you tap her shoulders and signal you're finished your work, she skips over to the water to admire her reflection before pressing a giggly kiss to your mouth.

-

Orym 💙

Flower power couple ;^; Orym is weaving you such beautiful floral arrangements worthy of winning pageants, tucking them into your hair, behind your ear, about your collar and wrists as you struggle to keep up with him. He's got such a natural affinity for flower crowns and daisy chains in particular, despite not being an avid magic user. The tips of his ears burn crimson when you place your own crown upon his head, brushing stray locks of hair from his face tenderly as you do so.

Didn't plan to bring a picnic, but brought leftover pie slices from breakfast wrapped in parchment to share. The pastry is flaky, tastier than it was when it was first served that morning. You both fill your canteens and wineskins from a little nearby stream, the water tasting clean and finer than any ale to cleanse your palate. It's a simple bite to eat, but when you're surrounded by such luscious green land, you can't help but feel like you've been spoiled by a feast.

Promises you that he's not tired, even when his eyelids begin to feel heavy and he is trying to hold back a yawn. It's only late afternoon, but you know it's been an eventful day. He tucks himself into your side, adamant on staying awake, but you're warm and soft and he works so hard and stays on guard all the time... closing his eyes might do him some good. Soon enough, you've got a quietly snoring halfling gripping onto your side, his forehead pressed to your ribs. You let him rest as you enjoy the peace of your secret meadow, and you swear you feel his hand gently squeeze your own in thanks.

Number 14 with Diana/47 for the fic drabble meme? ;)

"Well... this is awkward" from this fic drabble ask challenge.

-

"And you're sure about this?" His brother speaks, idly rubbing his chin with a rather skeptical look on his face.

"More than anything," 47 replies, looking out at the distance through the kitchen window.

"47, I know things have been overwhelming with the memories and the feelings," Lucas motions with his hands. "I just want to make sure you aren't making any rash decisions."

"I'm not."

"Little brother," Lucas sighs. "You know what I'm going to say. It's best you wait until after Providence is dealt with."

47 looks back at his brother. "And what if something goes wrong. What if I don't ever get to tell her?"

Olivia enters, almost as if on queue, interrupting their brief moment of tension after eavesdropping on the whole conversation from the next room.

"If I could add my opinion," she starts.

"Olivia," Lucas warns sternly.

"It's easy. Just tell her you are D. T. F," she pauses to gauge their reaction while she pours herself a cup of barely palpable, stale coffee. Neither man seems to be up-to-date with the colloquialisms of late, based on the blank look on their faces. "You know... down to fuck?"

"Olivia!"

"What!"

47 raises a hand to rub his temple as the two begin to squabble over the words exchanged. Between the memories that came in crashing waves and the new feelings and emotions that practically rung him dry, there was one thing that stood out.

Diana Burnwood.

In the four days since the serum had been administered, everything about Diana felt like it had changed. Every casual glimpse he caught of her had turned into long, lingering looks. Every word she spoke seemed to tickle his ears and cause an unstoppable fluttering in his chest. One night, after leaving her trench coat in the sitting room once she retired to bed, he couldn't stop himself from clutching it against his chest as he drifted off to sleep.

"Enough," he interrupts their bickering, walking over and placing both hands on the table. "I just... need to know how to tell her I love her," he sighs. "Plain and simple."

Suddenly he's irked by the look on their faces. Olivia looks like she's just seen a ghost, eyes wide with her mouth in the shape of an O. He turns his head to Lucas, who now has his eyebrows raised, trying to hold back a bit of a smirk.

What he didn't realize initially is that in the heat of the babbling that distracted him, someone else had come home, someone who was highly pertinent to this very conversation.

Tracing their line of vision, he can now tell they are looking behind him. His face warms and the panic sets in. This could only mean one thing.

He slowly turns on his heels and comes face to face with Diana. He doesn't have to ask how long she's been standing there, because the surprised look on her face tells it all. She definitely heard the words he uttered moments ago.

A moment passes with not a single word said. If tumbleweeds were native to Berlin, a whole host of them would have rolled through the kitchen by now.

"Well... this is awkward," Olivia announces, as she picks up her mug of coffee and several packets of sweetener as she walks around the duo and out of the room.

Lucas clears his throat, standing and brushing off his slacks. "Well, I... will leave you to it," he adds, before stepping out of the room as well.

It's quiet once the two are left alone.

"Diana... I," he falters.

"I hope that was me you were talking about," she jests coyly as she steps towards him.

"Yes, I - uh," he swallows hard. "I wanted....20 years has been..." he completely trails off, unable to get his words out. "You and I..."

She steps forward yet again and into his space with a little smile tugging at her lips. She holds his gaze with her rich blue eyes, angling her head slightly as she pushes up on her tiptoes. She captures his lips in a soft and slow, chaste kiss.

"That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

A little smile spreads across his lips and he leans forward to kiss her again.

I think Tumblr ate my last request, and unfortunately, I don't remember what it was :/.... So here's a new one:

If you write for Monoshin, could you please write some hcs of them with their female s/o (poly relationship) who loves rain but is terrified of thunder (as in, so terrified, she tries to go hide in or under something) ? I don't mind if the ending is nsfw or sfw (although...both would be nice....). Thank you, and I apologize if I'm being annoying with requests 😅 (seriously, please tell me if I am, and I'll back off)!

Hi again! I don't mind you sending multiple request, it's a great way to help me expand my writing. So feel free to request more! (You aren’t annoying. Say that about yourself again I will fight you 🔫)

And let me just say that it was a pleasure to write more smut for the two underrated boys.

MonoShin With A S/o Who’s Scared Of Thunder

Fluff and NSFW

Monoma and Shinsou were very busy people.

Both pro heroes, both married, both married to the same person.

The chaos that ensued when they revealed that they were both marrying you.

Everyone was happy but that meant that their families would make an issue to how the ceremony would look.

Anyways, since the very beginning of your relationship, Monoma and Shinsou made it very clear that it would only work if you were all communicating. You agreed to that fully with them.

You all started to date during your UA days.

During the first few times, you all slept in the same dorm, you all discovered something interesting about yourself specifically.

It was a relaxed day and the outside world was coming to life with heavy rain.

Monoma was helping you out with your skincare routine while Shinsou was brushing your hair.

It was peaceful, a calm drizzle outside that helped calm down the three of you after a long day.

Earlier, you had been walking with a small skip to your step in the rain.

It felt pleasant.

The cold water that fell without an end on you had some charm to it that made you overjoyed.

So overjoyed that you had forced your boyfriends to follow you.

Their priority wasn’t to hide from the rain but to make sure you didn’t trip and fall on the wet concrete.

They dragged you inside one you were soaked and helped dry you up.

BOOM.

A loud crash was heard and a bright light lit up the room.

Monoma and Shinsou were startled but laughed at the moment of fear the noise had induced.

They directed themselves toward you but you weren’t in between them anymore.

“Y/n?” The boys searched for you and they found you hiding in the closet.

Monoma laughed at you while Shinosu chuckled.

“Y/n, what are you doing?” Shinsou asked. Monoma was about to laugh even harder when thunder struck again, causing him to choke on his laugh.

You shrieked again and took some of the hanging clothes to cover your head with.

Shinsou smacked Monoma on the back of the head and went into the closet to comfort you. Monoma, on the other hand, continued to choke and once he got some of his breath back he follows suit.

That was years ago.

You were all now sleeping in your penthouse, under the covers on the two pro heroes’ day off.

You laid in between them, head resting on Monoma as his arms held you close and Sshinsou doing the same but with his face buried into your neck.

Usually, they would set up a day full of fun and relaxation for the three of you.

But they were both too tired and you yourself were too comfortable to get up and do anything.

That’s when the piece was disrupted.

The loud noise from outside woke you up but kept the two pros sound asleep.

You quickly got up from the bed and looked aimlessly for somewhere to hide.

Your warmth didn’t go unnoticed though.

Shinsou was the first to wake up.

He reached out for you but found your usual spot in between him and Monoma empty.

He got up and opened his eyes. You weren’t beside them.

Shinsou got up and started to look in different secluded spots in the penthouse.

You told them about your fear of thunder after the first incident back in UA. So this was nothing new.

He found you in one of the bathrooms downstairs and asked if he could come in. Once inside he lifted you from the floor and placed you in his lap.

“Everything’s ok Y/n. I’m here, I’ll take care of you.” He wrapped an arm around you and brushed your hair out of your face.

Light kisses were placed on your neck as a distraction from the thunder booming outside.

The gentle touches making your skin burn hot and your stomach do flips.

“Toshi.” You moaned. It only made him want to hear more of you.

NSFW Below (Minors DNI)

W: Strap On, Bottom Monoma

Shinsou bucked his hips up towards you.

Your pussy twitched as you felt the outline of his dick.

You tried moving up and getting away from him, you were a bit overwhelmed with the pleasant feeling.

But Shinsou wouldn’t let you. He grabbed onto your hips with a tight grip and pushed them down onto his covered sex.

“Common sweetheart. I know I can make you forget for a while. Will you let me?” His mouth was next to your ear. Whispering an attractive offer you would never say no to.

“Yes.” You whispered out.

Shisnous hands moved away from hips and arms wrapped themselves around you instead.

He buried his face into your neck and he continued to buck into you while pushing you down onto himself.

Light moans escaped his lips while your eyes hazed with lust.

After minutes of teasing the weather outside became violent. Shinsou and you didn’t care.

His dick was buried inside of you as you moved up and down it.

He looked so beautiful under you. Panting and moaning. Voice deep and rumbling.

It was that same rumbling in his chest that helped ground you and comfort you as you ignored the sounds from outside.

“Y-y/n, ple-asee. Give me m-more of your tight pussyy.” You indulged him as he fucked into you desperately.

He held onto your chest and thrust his hips into you violently.

He had your legs shaking and weak as he himself felt his own body begin to break under the blind pleasure.

“T-toshi, give me m-ore!” You brokenly asked. He gladly went harder.

Monoma woke up alone in bed and got up to look for his two missing spouses.

Even from upstairs, he could hear your moans.

He smiled to himself and grabbed something from one of the drawers.

“This should help.” He spoke to himself.

Monoma listened outside of the bathroom door. The only sounds being the slapping of skin against skin and Shinosus groans. Your light and airy moans being a major attractor to him.

He knocked on the door and walked inside. Greeted by the sight of Shinsou on top of you panting like a cat in heat and you splayed out as Shinsou supports your body with his own strength.

“How cute, mind if I join?” You looked up at Monoma but were prevented from answering when you heard another thunderous boom from outside.

Before you could yell, the air was knocked out of you by Shinsous cock burying itself deeper inside you.

Monoma took that as his queue to enter the fun and showed you the object he brought.

It was a strap on.

He helped push Shinsou back, allowing him to put in on you and accommodate it.

“T-To-shi fuck, ge-t out.” You told him.

Shinsous thrusting stopped and he pulled out of you.

Monoma placed himself on the cold tiled floor with his back to it. He spread his legs out for you, giving you a full look at his sex and his ass.

“Y/n, would you mind filling me up?” He teased.

You got up from Shinsous lap, legs shaking at the few steps you had to take towards Monoma.

You got on top of him and slammed your hips into his entrance. You had him seeing stars for a moment.

“Oooh, Nei.” You placed your hands on the crook of his legs and pushed them higher.

Monoma felt as his hole narrowed and the strap on felt bigger than before. God, he loved this.

“You l-ook so pretty l-like this, N-Nei.” Monoma flustered at the compliment and watched as you buried yourself inside of him.

“AAaaah Fuuuck!” Shinsou took this as his queue to do his part and enter your sopping pussy again. This time quickly and with some force.

“FUuuuck!” Monoma and you moaned out.

Shinsou began to thrust hard and fast into your pussy.

Because of that, you were practically fucking hard into Monomas own body.

Monoma moaned out the most pornography moan you’ve ever heard.

His eyes crossed as his tongue stuck out.

You grabbed it with your fingers and watched as he lost himself with each thrust.

Shinsou couldn’t really touch Monoma but he could help you push his legs back.

He helped you and Monomas hole clenched around the strap as you and Shinsou continued to thrust into each other.

“FUCK, I’M GONNA CUM!” Monoma shouted.

You buried yourself inside of him as Shinsou did the same to you.

You both helped reach each other reach your high.

Monoma came, eyes crossed with legs back. Essentially in a mating press while Shinsou had you in doggy.

Monomas release was all over his chest as well as on your chest. Shinsous was deep inside of you, leaking out as he pulled out.

“F-fuck. Shit.” Shinsou picked you up from Monomas body and had to sit down inside the tub then going back to pick Monoma up and putting him in too.

He turned on the water and soaked with the two of you.

The warm water helping clean up the surface mess and relaxing your sore muscles.

The rain and thunder kept at it outside but you and your husband were relaxed and fulfilled.

The thunder no longer scaring you since your mind was in a haze.

“Thank you.” You kissed Shinsou and Monoma gently as you all washed away the evidence of your activities.

What a pleasant way to get rid of fear.

[meu-light]

...which basically confirmed that a huge portion of all the scenes we've been waiting for are going to air in the FINAL EP, I'm 110% sure they're going to end the show on a cliffhanger, announce season 2 in Impact Arena and I'll be left feeling empty for around a year (if not more)...

I mean, most BLs take about 3-4 months to film. If I'm not mistaken, KP started filming around November and finished in March and began airing in April.

I don't think finding the time to film is the problem, if anything, it's organizing the casts' schedules and the locations (if I'm not mistaken, one of the locations, the Main Family's headquarters, was closed to the public because of Covid and that's why they were able to film so much there and that could inevitably change since the world is slowing crawling out of the pause Covid put us in) that could present a challenge since this is totally out of the directors' control .

The good thing about this cast, is that none of the actors are super famous (with the exception of, like, Jeff who is in a different company than BOC and Perth, who's a fan favorite, but his character died) therefore its not like they have obligations or commitments with other promotional stuff, sponsors and such and therefore scheduling them and organizing all the actors so that they're all available simultaneously to film isn't too much of an issue.

Then the matter of personal time off and whether the actors and/or the directors themselves have any projects or whatever, or they want to take some personal time off/a Vacay instead of throwing themselves back into filming, which seems more likely, to be honest, than anything I mentioned above.

After all, they're humans and they also deserve some rest especially after such a successful series.

First of all, Hi~~

Yeah, usually thai shows take that much to film. They film in queues (usually from Q1 till Q20something and if things don't go as planned they add Qs, Cutie Pie finished at Q30something if I'm not mistaken). I remember that while the first EPs of KinnPorsche were airing, they were shooting/reshooting some scenes (not really sure if they were shooting or reshooting, because their schedule did get pushed back and they had to add a bunch of Qs).

I totally agree on you with the schedule thing, I myself manage a 13-member group and doing the schedule is a HUGE responsibility and it's hard af.

As for locations, I don't really know how permissions work in Thailand, but if it's similar to how it works here, issuing a single permission to shoot on a certain location can take up to a few months, and the cost can be insane, depending on the amount of Qs they want to do and how many crew members will be present.

Now, for personal time, half of our boys took around 2 weeks off recently, I'm suspecting that the rest of the boys will take some time off before Impact Arena (if they haven't done so already because they keep moving around so fast and it's hard to keep up). I think that's totally reasonable, the boys should rest, and tbh BOC is doing pretty well on those kinds of stuff, I can see the boys are travellering and taking time off, AS THEY SHOULD.

For Jeff and Perth, although they are not in BOC, up until now they've been treated with nothing but respect and that's what they deserve. Perth's had a pretty hectic schedule since last year, and he's also doing streams and YouTube, I hope he rests a bit before Impact Arena. Jeff's been releasing new music every few months, ffs human! REST!

With the mention of Impact Arena, let's bring in the KP World Tour, July 24th and 25th are just the beginning, tours of this kind can take MONTHS to complete and considering how much they've been preparing and the amount of sponsors they have (and who those sponsors are) I don't think they'll kick off the tour and finish it in one big trip. What I have in mind is that they'll go by continent, for example, start with one part of Asia, rest for a bit, and then go to the next one. Until the tour is complete, I don't think production will be given a green light, and if it does, it's not going to go straight to filming.

As far as I know the writers of the books are involved in the script writing process for the sequel. A possible casting may be needed because we're definitely going to need new actors for any new characters that may appear in the sequel of the show. Newcomers bring the need for acting classes and workshops, workshops can take up to 2 months to complete. Also we don't know if P'Khom, P'Pepsi and P'Pond would be down to directing the sequel or if any of the crew members would be able to come back, which means that they may need to work on that as well.

I'm not going to talk about the possibility of BOC looking for new investors and sponsors, just because a show is popular, it doesn't mean everything goes smoothly like butter (no pun intended).

So yeah, according to my calculations, if we do get a sequel or a season 2, however you guys want to call it, the shortest amount of time for it to be ready to air is a year. Why? Because I don't think that BOC would throw away their hard work by rushing with a 2nd season that is nowhere near the quality of the 1st one.

Is it going to hurt waiting? Sure! Do I believe it's totally going to be worth it? HELL YEAH!

Anyway, I hope they come to Europe for the tour, I really want to meet them~

Spread the love~ 💕

A few (bigger) writers have left the community due lack of feedback and rude people lately, I've personally got more feedback lately than I usually do (that means I get at least one comment per week, in contrast to one comment per month) and honestly, that feels surreal after writing here for over three years and just now people start to wake up with feedback (at least it seems like that, but I'm still fearing it's gonna die down). I really hope it will increase and readers (and in some cases, other writers) will get it how important feedback actually is. I've been trying to be more active lately at @swans-reblogs, but I admit that I'm not as active as I should be and used to be.

There are reasons for that which sound like shitty explanations, I'm super shy to comment to new people, I don't like to read longer pieces (1k+) for characters I'm not personally crushing on and a lot of my moots haven't written much stuff for fandoms I'm not in and a lot of new stuff I've been tagged into is Marvel, and since I'm not up to date with it, I have blocked MCU, Eternals, Wandavision, Loki, Hawkeye, Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Spider-Man No Way Home tags because I don't want spoilers and I don't read anything from Marvel fandom (minus X-Men) until I'm up to date with it. If you're interested, you can see my tagged page below the read more + the disclaimer so I won't make any moots angry.

(I still haven't watched any Marvel TV serieses, Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and I don't have a possibility to go watch NWH either, and honestly, I'm not one of those big Marvel stans so I'm not really hurrying it up either, the movies are ok but they don't hold a special place in my heart and I don't have any fave characters who would drive me forward, and note: if someone recognizes themselves from that list, I'm not blaming you, you aren't really controlling what people request or what you are fond of on that moment, but I'm just sad that I can't contribute into the community because the content that's on my dashboard rarely is what I can read without being spoiled or something romantic for a character who makes me uncomfortable in romantic sense, or then smut. But I still see that your pieces get dozens, even hundreds of notes, but hardly any reblogs or especially feedback, which infuriates me, you don't like a piece if you didn't read it or are planning to read it... and if you never give feedback, anon or off anon, or at the very least, reblog, you're contributing into the cause of writers slowly giving up and leaving)

But yeah my tagged page: NWH spoilers, Jaskier, Jaskier (reading those two later when I remember to), Gwen Stacy from Into the Spiderverse (I watched a half of it but imo it was weird and I didn't really like the art style), NWH spoilers, NWH spoilers, NWH spoilers, NWH spoilers, no spoilers but for a character I don't know yet x5, Five Hargreeves, aka a 13 year old = people would attack me if I gave any feedback on that because I'm twice older than he is, Shang-Chi x4, Jaskier (so three Jaskiers to read), smut, Eternals x5... you get the picture. Just to point out why I haven't been as active with giving feedback lately.

Just thoughts because I'm so sad because yesterday the other one of the two writers who I have followed since the very beginning of discovering the x reader community in 2016, one of the legends of the x reader world left us, because people didn't give Ace enough motivation to continue despite their continuous warnings of losing motivation... but I hope people could now realize that what happens even to the biggest and greatest of us if we aren't given anything back for giving so much. Unless people are so lazy that they won't even care to see what happens if they'd even TRY giving feedback.

I personally have stuff written and in queue till February right now and I believe it's largely because people have given me a lot more feedback than usually. And last spring, my every single Kaz piece got like 5-10 comments, and what did it do? I wrote a lot every day for like 2 weeks straight, got like 50 pieces written in that time and I just spat oneshots out and I was excited to write and sought for a moment to write every day, even wrote on my phone (which I usually hate) because my motivation just jumped above the clouds. I wish that was the case with all of my fandoms, but no. I usually get 0 comments to most of my pieces, maybe 1 reblog if I'm lucky and 52 likes.

I was reminded about how an author who I once knew said that if we don't write professionally and for free, publishing these on the internet, those people are "just entertainers" and don't need praise, they should do this just because they want to, and didn't get it when I told her that yeah we write because we like to do it, but we publish them because we want to be noticed, to be shown that we are noticed. In her opinion, we don't need thank you's etc because we're "just entertainers", which baffles me because she herself is a writer, a published one no less. And guess what - a few months later she cried about how one of her favorite authors decided to quit writing books because - surprise surprise - she didn't feel that she's appreciated enough, that she feels like people read her books and then throw them away, even if they liked them but nobody bothers to actually tell her how they liked them, even when she asked for it. Kinda controversial... now that I think about it, she probably tried to hurt me by saying that thing about me being "just an entertainer" earlier, tested me by pushing my buttons because she knew I'm, or at least was, super hotheaded, but yeah.

And note, some people might and are writing here only because they like it and don't seek for feedback, way to improve or appreciation and Tumblr is just their personal dumping area for their creativity, but by default, every writer NEEDS feedback. Without feedback, we can't improve. I don't know what's so difficult to understand in it, even when people lose their motivation for this. People say that we don't get more feedback because we don't work hard enough for it. But like it doesn't add up either - for example, Ace worked SO HARD, publishing something big and great every single day and as a reward, they, too, mainly got a few likes and a reblog, just like the rest of us. And even if a writer posts once in a blue moon, and that piece is "just" 100 words, they still are entitled for some attention and affection if you read that piece and liked it.

But yeah. Congrats if you read this far and hopefully this made you think of something. I just needed to rant.

— MOVE-IN DAY: 29 AUGUST 2021. 08:14 EDT.

your roommate is a talkative, ever-energetic, pretty half-russian girl named alya. she's from new jersey, you learn, just across the river. the two of you are a good match in energy, and she's easy to talk to. you'd chatted a couple times before over instagram, and the tiny bit of japanese she knew combined with your functional knowledge of english has made for conversations that flow easily from subject to subject.

you tell her about daichi, show her pictures of the two of you together from graduation, the summer—whatever you can find. she immediately loves the two of you together, excitement seeming ready to bubble over at how cute you must be, and you need to remind her over and over that you're just friends with him for now.

— 16 NOVEMBER, 2021. 10:23 EST.

according to the new york natives, this year's first snowfall is early. usually, alya tells you, it doesn't snow before thanksgiving.

— CHRISTMAS CARDS, DECEMBER 2021

from daichi (written 16th december, received 22nd december. opened on christmas day, 00:03 eastern standard time.)

from you (written 12th december, received 18th december. opened as soon as it arrived, 17:14 japan standard time.)

— 18TH DECEMBER, 2021. 23:03 JST, 09:03 EST.

you wake up to your phone buzzing on your bedside table, rubbing your face groggily as you fumble for it and see who it is.

“of course you’re still my favorite,” is the first thing he says as soon as you accept the call. and then, “oh shit, did i wake you up? i’m so sorry—“

you cut him off with a sleepy laugh, assuring him that no, it’s okay, for him you don’t mind.

"d'you get the card yet?" he sounds so excited, almost childlike; it's adorable, and you can't help but laugh some more.

"i did," you say, "but i'm saving it. i'm gonna open it on christmas."

he snorts. "i say open it now. i opened yours as soon as i saw it."

"yeah, but i'm talking to you now, i wanna save it so i have new things to hear from you even if you can't call."

"who says i won't call?"

"no one, but just in case."

— CHRISTMAS DAY 2021. 00:12 EST, 14:12 JST.

daichi's about to second guess calling you when he remembers you never go to bed early if you can help it, and especially not while you're off school. and, speak of the devil, his phone rings right then.

"hey." it's dim in your room, but he can hear the smile in your voice and that's all he needs.

"hey."

"i opened your card."

"did you, now?"

"mhm." you must be in bed; he can hear you nuzzling down into a downy comforter and yawning. it's adorable. "i miss you."

"i miss you, too."

there's silence on your end of the line for a while, save for breathing and blankets shifting around, and daichi takes it as his cue. "get some sleep," he tells you, "i can call you again tomorrow."

he hears you sigh—such a pretty sound—and then you speak again, barely above a whisper. "daichi?"

"hm?"

"can you just... stay on for a bit? just, like, until i'm asleep?"

and he laughs a little, but (unbeknownst to you, passed out within the next few minutes) he doesn't hang up for another hour.

— NEW YEAR’S EVE 2022. 23:58 JST, 09:58 EST.

he calls you just in time for the beginning of the new year (at least, where he is). it’s funny, you point out, how for thirteen hours you’ll be living in two different years. time zones are a bitch.

— 23:55 EST, 13:55 JST.

“welcome to 2022,” he says with a laugh when he picks up the phone. “‘s been pretty uneventful so far.”

— 16 FEBRUARY 2022. 09:55 EST.

a guy in your calc class comes up to you after a lecture and asks you if you’re single.

he’s not unattractive, and he’s smart. you’ve chatted a couple times and he’s always been easy to talk to. he’s funny, and he’s an international student from japan, too. you don’t know what to say at first; you wonder what daichi would want you to say. but you remember, you’re just friends for now.

you tell tōru yes.

— 11:03 EST, 01:03 JST.

feeling unbelievably guilty as you wait for your phone to ring while sitting on a bench outside the dining hall, you wonder what you're even supposed to tell him. that there's someone else? that you want to try seeing other people? how can you soften the blow without sounding like you're trying to make excuses for yourself? and it's not like your heart isn't still set on him and him only, but how can you possibly convince daichi of that?

so you're incredibly surprised to find out that daichi almost... doesn't mind. you don't miss the way his voice tenses up a little after you tell him, but you know that whatever he says, he's always honest with you. he even almost laughs at you for how stressed you seem.

"friends, remember? 's okay. it doesn't mean you can't see other people, just that we can tell each other whatever. and that i'll support you."

"you're not jealous?"

he pauses for a second, thinking, before saying, "i mean, honestly? i am, i guess." he stops again and you don't say anything, almost afraid. "but whatever we are, if you're happy, then it's okay. and tōru's a good guy." he huffs a short laugh. "if he were a shitty person, that'd be a very different story."

that's another surprise to you; apparently he and tōru were at least somewhat acquainted with one another. volleyball, daichi tells you.

small world.

☾𓆙𓂻

when you finally end the call, realizing how late it is in japan and that he must be needing to go to bed, you can't tell whether you feel less guilty knowing that he doesn't think you're in the wrong, or more guilty knowing that he's willing to sacrifice his wants for yours.
