some of my arts of 2023 <3

[purupurple]

so as you probably know, i've teamed up with moonsprout games and makeship to make squishies of characters my husband and i created for bug fables, tanjerin and cerise. so far, tanj is doing alright, but cerise is dragging behind. however, i'm concerned about if they'll be funded at all. i'd like to go over why its so dire that at least one of them achieves their goal.

so, i don't like talking about serious and personal stuff and i very rarely do it, but just a little over a year ago i had been hospitalized with no health insurance. thankfully i recovered quickly as it was just some sort of icky cold that turned into pneumonia despite my efforts in recovering as fast as i could. that being said, i live in america, and being hospitalized with no health insurance is a very bad situation and now i have debt. on top of that, i've had two unrelated ER visits later last year where i did have insurance, but they didn't cover everything (america, i swear…) so that's MORE medicical debt. not to mention my husband is still paying off a lot of student loans… so we've got our hands full. of debt, that is.

what i'm getting at here is that these plushies getting funded is crucial to help me pay off these medical bills and some more that are expected later on this year related to receiving mental health care, specifically from the process getting diagnosed for autism and/or adhd as well as being able to learn how to handle anxiety attacks. i would even be happy if just one of them was successful (poor cerise is lagging behind…) so i'm officially making this a cry for help. please, help us fund the tanjerin and cerise makeship campaigns! if you're not in a spot to buy even just one of them, then all i ask is that you share this post and tell your friends, families, and/or any other interested parties. both my husband and i very much need all the help we can get!

but i also made this post not just to go over our tough situation, but i wanted to let everyone know that there's now a gleam giveaway! it's a raffle you can enter by following the steps on the gleam page to get an art commission from the box art cover artist schweise and me, designer for the fruity bugs!

tl;dr me have big medical bills husband has student loans and me will draw something for the one who wins the gleam raffle so sign up for that if you're interested

please spread the word, and thank you in advance for reading! here's the links below

🖤 ART TAG 🖤

Hey to all artists! I want to talk about our art journey. Some of us have a long path, some have started only recently, but each of us has had our own individual path and I think it's really important to remember how we all started. And it's also important to share it with others so that no one would be scared to start their own journey and just create.

How did you start drawing? What year was it that you become more seriously and consciously interested in it?

As everyone I'll say I've been drawing since early childhood, but I think the end of 2019 is my beginning. Because that's the time I started to practice actively.

When you felt the urge to share your art with other people? When did you start posting your drawings on social media?

Maybe it's always been? I think for the first time I posted something traditional drawn on my personal social media. I started my art socials in 2020.

Your first/earliest drawing. What were your impressions of it back then and what are your feelings now?

It's hard to track my very first drawing, but here are the early traditional drawings and my very first digital hand drawing. It was before I got a tablet, so it was drawn with a mouse. My impressions? My hand was tired... But if seriously back then it looked like something cool to me and I was surprised that I could draw something like that. Now, of course, I can see all my mistakes. But let's be honest, any mistake is a move forward.

🚧 ALARM 🚧

My very first attempts after getting a tablet.

Should I mention that I was upset at the first second that it didn't work out on the first try?

Your first fanart ever

I had a lot of traditional drawings of Adventure Time (I'm a big fan of Marceline). It's roughly a little over a decade ago.

But in digital, I guess this? Snufkin and The Groke from Moomin stories. [aug 8, 2020]

Your first gallavich fanart

Hi babies! This post and this post.

[nov 27, 2023] - oh my god it's almost a year???

But what if I told you that my sister asked me to draw Cameron Monaghan… Who knew that ten years later I'd be drawing him once again...

When you had bad days and things didn't work out, what inspired you to keep trying?

I just need to rest, try again, or think about what exactly goes wrong. When I started my path as a digital artist I was very inspired by the older work by 'big artists'. No one is perfect at the first moment and there is always a long road of striving and practice behind cool works. And I knew that the more I tried, the more I could consider myself 'cool' too. (spoiler: that feeling is still with me)

Show your old piece that you strongly dislike and tell why.

It's a hard choice. I stopped liking a lot of my work after a time, but this one was initially a struggle. I really didn't like how it looked in the end. I wasn't able to draw it as I wanted, and had problems with the face and dynamics. But the background is cool! (A lot of the work you don't like has some good in it!)

Renee and Andrew from AFTG [dec 5, 2021]

Show your old piece that you very like and tell why. What's the difference with the previous?

I love the shading and the face, especially eyes. And i still love this drawing! Face looks better than previous and hair has a dynamic, and the expression is really good.

Buck Toothsome from School for vampires [nov 8, 2021]

Show your old piece that you were very proud of back then.

I really loved this study redraw!

Ginny with Marcus from Ginny & Georgia [june 22, 2021]

Do you do any practice sketches or warm-ups before you draw something big?

I've started to do it recently! I'd forgotten how many sketches I made in sketchbooks when I was studying drawing.

I tried to change the pen pressure.

Sketch vs Final. Show your process.

Actually, it's been a tough process.

Your most recent drawing.

I'm working on my secret santa's gift right now, so I can't share it 🤭But here's my last sketch during warm-up session 🤲🖤

Give yourself some praise! Look at what improved in your art!

I just want to say that four years ago I would've been shocked by my current drawings. I've really improved in drawing faces and anatomy, I'm trying new interesting composition, trying to learn new things and use it in my works.

Any advice you'd give to your earlier self?

Do more thinking while creating your art. Do a sketches warm-ups before digging into the big work. Don't be afraid to draw it again if something doesn't work. Take breaks to physically exercise!

Set a goal for yourself for the coming year.

I want to improve facial expressions. Make a professional portfolio. Keep growing and enjoying drawing.

I want to see more your drawings...

[yuurivoice]

since you love to write, does your job ever feel like actual work? Kinda like that saying “if you love your job, you’ll never work a day of your life.” Kinda question.

also, how much free time do you normally have?

It felt like actual work from pretty early on. The moment I crossed over from doing it for funsies to sometimes taking commissions I didn't really feel strongly about for money, it was work.

I've had to drag my ass into the booth and record on days when I couldn't even take care of my basic needs because of ADHD struggles, and that sure felt like work.

I've had to write like absolute dogshit and just accept it because I had deadlines and people waiting on me. That felt like work.

I've had to spend hours breaking down different shots needed for visual projects, like a caveman painting on a wall for a renaissance artist to reference. That definitely felt like work.

I've had to deal with community moderation, personal betrayals of trust, harassment, goddamn pr crises, tax nightmares, and shipping hundreds of orders by hand. That was work.

That old cliche of if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life is a crock of shit. But all of that being said, even though it is work, and even though it can be really difficult sometimes?

Wouldn't trade it for the world. There is no other calling for me, my heart is not satisfied if I am not telling stories, and for some reason the universe decided that this was the path forward. I didn't plan on it. I never loved voice acting, but I learned to. I wish there was less bullshit over the years that robbed me of my joy. I wish I wasn't fighting my brain for so much of the time I've been doing this.

But the good will always outweigh the bad.

It's a dream fulfilled. I never needed or wanted to be some sort of massive sensation, or have broad renown or appeal. I didn't need to become a best selling author, or create a hit video game, or do anything like that. I am happy that I've found even a small group of people who love to get lost in my worlds, or spend time with my characters, or hear them get railed in pumpkin patches.

I get to experience the magic of creating something I didn't know was within me. Again and again. Projects like BitterSweet, Shattered, and Echoes of Evalas are precious to me because of the wondrous feeling creating those stories gives me. They could all flop, and I'd do it anyway.

I was creating art when no one was ever there to listen or watch. In that regard, it's never been work. It is a function of my existence. I was made, raised, and shaped to tell stories. It's the one thing I can do. At a table of friends, an audience of hundreds, or on long drives by myself. It's like breathing. It just happens.

Being able to call it work is a privilege. I'm thrilled that I've got the chance to work. I'm happy that I even have the opportunity to have days where I have to push myself. Because it has given me more than I've ever thought it could. I was on food stamps living with family under constant threat of getting kicked out. I was lonely, isolated, and scared of the world. I was considered lazy.

Finding my lane, getting traction, and thriving was something I considered out of reach. I was ready to tap out and accept that I just wasn't quite right for life. Like maybe I just didn't have all the right parts. I was okay with it, even. I was tired.

So yeah. It's work. But I spent a long time desperate to find work I was suited for, and with a lot of recent life changes I've removed many of those points of friction that would make it tough to work. So I'm thrilled.

And that, my friends, is what happens when you ask a professional yapper if they love yapping. 😂

As for free time, it's hard to say. So much of what I do being my own boss and shit, plus creative stuff just constantly churning in my brain, I struggle to clearly define what is and is not "free time". I basically have to be on call. At any given moment something might need my attention, or creativity comes knocking. It's hard to completely disconnect.

I've done a good job of getting into the office about four times a week. That has helped me find some sort of balance, but even recent writing I've done was on my laptop at my little breakfast nook having coffee.

I think the big thing is, I can create my free time whenever I need or want to.

Anywho, this is why you don't open Tumblr when you wake up to pee in the middle of the night because then you spent 30 minutes staring at your phone writing a whole ass essay. I'm gonna go get out of bed and make something awesome now. 💖

[masschase]

I wasn't sure I'd be able to do one of these as I think I only completed about 20(?) pieces of art last year. But after going across this blog and my main 2 sideblogs, @chase-the-music and @lifeonthemurdersim(18+) I did in fact draw at least one thing a month which I'm quite pleased with. I've used a mix of quicker doodles, full pieces and outfit references!

It's no surprise my work is quite OC heavy so I actually picked works that all feature OCs! Most are mine but I've also chosen to include the OCs of four people I absolutely could not have coped through 2024 without.

🧡 March features @whoredmode's Anteros 💛 September features @snail-eggs's Xixi 💙 October features @cptsadist's Jet 💜 November features @vermillionth's Aveline

So much love to all the friends I've made through this fandom, however! I've met some fantastic people both last year and the year before who I hope to keep in touch with! Also, a massive thank you to anyone and everyone who has supported my work in any way, I appreciate every single like, reblog, comment and kudos and message so much! 😊

It's been a pretty tough year for me personally so I've swung between too burnt out to do what I'd like to and taking tremendous solace in my creative work, and while I'm optimistic for a calmer 2025, I'm definitely going to keep improving, creating, and generally being abnormal about my favourites!

Stay alt, stay queer, STAY CRINGE and have a good year!

[japanesedoramaandanimelover91]

Kazunari Ninomiya, who won an award in the Arts and Culture category, made his debut as a member of the popular idol group Arashi and appeared in many popular films and TV series. Even after going independent from the agency he belonged to for many years, he remained active as an actor, entertaining many fans with his "YouTube" videos and writing. We asked Ninomiya-san, who is at the forefront of the Japanese entertainment world, about what he values in his creative endeavours and his future aspirations.

-I often watch the "YouTube" channel that Ninomiya-san created with Yuichi Nakamaru, Ryosuke Yamada and Fuma Kikuchi. This "Yonino Channel" has gained the highest popularity in the entertainment world, and the other day, "All Night Nippon Premium" was also broadcast, where the members act as hosts. Ninomiya-san's passion for entertaining his fans is clearly felt these days.

Ninomiya-Thank you very much. On "YouTube" i want to be able to show you what i really like and how i like it, in its purest form.’

-So Ninomiya-san shows the part where he's genuinely having fun.

Nino-If we don't do that, i don't think the audience will be able to fully enjoy it. The staff suggests different projects, and after we're in full agreement with them, we do what we like. We may cancel projects that look too much like television or seem forced. In this case, i think fans will enjoy it more if we just talk. -Is it because Ninomiya-san built his career that he was able to do this? Or is it because "YouTube" is a place with a lot of freedom? Has the environment changed significantly since you became independent from the agency?

Nino-The environment can be a big factor…. But my mindset hasn't changed much. The desire to share the fun with my fans has always been a prerequisite for any job. We have worked hard to make "Arashi" concerts a time and space that people can still enjoy, whether they are close to the stage or far from it, or even if the blind or hearing impaired come. That's what we did it for. to have fun in the first place. It's ingrained in us. But "YouTube" is a step down from that, and in a good way it's a little bit easier to get into, so maybe that's why people are so favourable to it.

-Watching "YouTube" and entertainment shows on TV, I realised that Ninomiya-san has very good small talk skills. The conversation is very natural and interesting. I think you're very adept at choosing your words, whether it's on "X" (formerly Twitter) or in an essay for a series of magazines.

Nino-is this true? If so, i think my life has been shaped by encountering more words than the average person in film and TV scripts. After receiving the script, when i'm forgiven, i feel like i change the line text as i see fit so that the words can come out and i haven't given it too much thought.’ -This Suits Of The Year was chosen under the theme of "Stimulating the Five Senses," and we chose people who excelled in their fields. Ninomiya-san, you've helped many people in many different fields, including acting, but is there anything you keep in mind while doing your expressive activities or anything you're doing to improve your skills as an artiste?

Nino-Hmm, that's a tough one. If i had to pick one thing, it would be games, even when I'm busy (laughs).

-You like games, don't you? Do you feel rested?

Nino-Instead of trying to change my mood, i want to keep my energy up by playing games. The more i have to work, the more i end up playing "Puzzle and Dragons". I get a lot more ideas that way. It's a strange story, but i have to create a situation where i don't have enough time. In the past, i was always short of time, doing doramas, appearing on entertainment shows, and then going on tour. I really don't mind that kind of busyness. I actually prefer this high rotation speed, so i try to maintain a high rotation speed during games and i feel like I'm already mentally prepared.

-Wouldn't it be a good idea to rest here?

Nino-No. Maybe i'm the kind of person who doesn't need a long rest.

--I feel like the game makes me immerse myself in the world.

Nino-This is a bit contradictory, but the more you immerse yourself in the world of the game, the more you don't have to think about anything. For example, even when I have to memorise lines for a TV drama, i still play games, i can concentrate on a lot of things.

--This feeling is a bit interesting. It would be the best environment for me.

Nino-Right. When words come into your head when you're not thinking about them, it's hard to get rid of them. If you're in a hurry and you're thinking, ‘i have to remember, i have to remember,’ they won't come in at all. Even during meetings, i write them down on the board. Sometimes i come up with better ideas while playing than when i face them face to face. Sometimes i get scolded and ask, "Are you really listening to me?" But that's never a problem for me. Now that i've started working in the entertainment industry myself, i often catch myself thinking, "Wow, this is how things work." For example, when it comes to working in film, so far someone has had to do all the work for me. All i had to do was memorise the script. When i think of the people who have done all this for me, i am truly grateful. I want to work feeling that gratitude. It's good to try new things, but i also want to acknowledge again what i've done, is very important to me right now, and that in itself is a challenge. For example, if i were to start making music again, where would i release my album and how would I do it alone, i think that would be a huge challenge.

-What do you see for the future of "offices"?

Nino-If the company wants to keep going the way it is, i want to attract all kinds of people. I started this company for myself, but i want to help people who share the same thoughts as i do and feel stuck in some way. There is someone, i would be happy to take them on and work with them, whether i can help them or not. I hope some kind of chemical reaction happens between us.

Ninomiya-san has worn a variety of suits due to his job, but he has surprisingly few suits and isn't particularly picky about them. However, it seems like it took him a long time to choose the fabric for this suit from Paul Stewart.

Nino-I wanted to use a fabric that could be worn in a variety of situations and that would fit well on the body. This suit was recommended to me in the shop and I liked it because when I saw it, it had a soft texture. I tried it on and it was just as comfortable as I expected. I think suits are worn when you want to look fresh, but the feel of this fabric allows you to relax and act casual, I felt that way.

The colour pattern with light grey base and wide stripes is also new to him.

Nino-Was a type of fabric with a narrower pitch of stripes, but I thought this one gave a softer impression. The tailoring is very lightweight and I think it will make people I meet feel more relaxed, as I heard from the stylist. I said earlier that this suit looks good with knitwear, but I'd like to try wearing it a bit more fun.

Paul Stewart in a tailored suit.

A bespoke tailored suit based on the Baker model, which is a relatively new model amongst the brand. The very soft-textured flannel fabric is made by the prestigious Italian company Vitale Barberis Canonico. It has a light grey base with a touch of green and slightly wide stripes. The trousers have a neatly tapered silhouette. A single fit is included to create a moderate amount of space around the waist. Combined with the laid-back vibe of the lightweight, shoulderless jacket, it feels like a go-to suit for going out to work.

Kazunari Ninomiya was born in 1983, in Tokyo. He is a member of the male idol group ‘Arashi’ and is active in various fields including acting, voice actor, TV host and blogger. He made his Hollywood debut in the 2006 film "Letters from Iwojima". He won the 39th "Japan Academy Award for Best Actor" for the 2015 film Kurashiba and His Mother and the sixty-fifth "Blue Ribbon Award" for "Best Actor" for "From Camp with Love", released in 2022. Declared independence in October 2023 and established the Office ni no.

024 Fic Writer End of Year Roundup ✨

Answer and then tag three or more creators to keep the game going!

I was tagged by @skyfallscotland <3

1. How many words did you publish on AO3 in 2024?

375,016!

2. How many fics did you complete this year?

Eight! All of them are in my pinned post on my Tumblr.

3. How many in progress or ongoing fics did you start this year?

If we're just counting the ones that already have a chapter up on AO3, four. If we're counting the ones that haven't been posted yet, I'm not entirely sure by at least 10 lol

4. What was your favourite thing you wrote?

This is tough! I loved VSGTSAS for obvious reasons, but castles crumbling/TFTAB is my baby. I really don't think I can choose!

5. What piece was your most experimental or different from your usual style?

Oh, definitely cold woman and in the eye of the beholder. They were my first forays into third person pov, and the first fics I wrote that weren't from Xaden or Violet's pov (not including Swan Song in that count bc those characters were all OCs). I really enjoyed writing both, but man was it hard to go back and forth between writing my first person fics and the third person ones.

6. Did any fics surprise you - either while writing or their reception?

Definitely Violet Sorrengail's Guide to Spinning a Scandal. That was my first time participating in any kind of fic exchange, and I thought the idea was great but wasn't sure that many others would think the same. castles crumbling didn't have as many people reading it at the time and I had maybe like 25 followers here on Tumblr, so I was fully expecting no one to really read VSGTSAS. I was thrilled when people read it as much as they did when I was publishing it, but it was definitely really surprising for me at the time!

7. Do you have a fic you wrote and loved that went under the radar? (This is your sign to reblog/repost it!)

cold woman! I absolutely adored this fic, because I think Lilith is such an interesting, multi-faceted character. I cried SO HARD when she died, and being able to write out what I thought her final thoughts were was really interesting.

8. Who is an artist that inspired you?

All of them! That might be overly generic. I literally like and save just about every piece of art I come across, but I tend to follow writers more than artists if that makes sense, so I probably couldn't name a specific one.

9. Who is an author that inspired you?

Going to copy @skyfallscotland and say @justallihere. Reading SITQ inspired me to start writing Swan Song, which was where I got my start writing fanfic!

10. Who is a new author you discovered?

Does myself count? Jk -- @widebrimmedhatsblog and @suebswrites! The number of times I've read their work is astounding; they're absolutely phenomenal!

11. Did you do any collaborations? How did it start?

Nope!

12. What accomplishments are you proudest of?

Pulling myself out there, first and foremost! I was SO scared to post the first chapter of Swan Song back in February -- I was convinced that people would hate it. And while it really didn't have many readers before I put it on hiatus, writing it helped me figure out what I wanted out of writing fan fiction and how I wanted to write it. I'm equally proud of myself for not giving into the pressure to push myself to update more or write my stories a specific way because that was what people wanted from me. As a chronic people-pleaser, that was a big milestone for me.

13. What did you learn about writing or creating this year?

I learned that sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone! If I hadn't done that and let my nerves stop me from publishing that first fic, I never would have gained the wonderful community I have through the FW fandom.

14. Any advice you’d like to share with new or aspiring writers?

Writing fanfic is what you make of it! Comment on the fics you read, shamelessly promote yourself, and write what you want to write -- not what others want you to write (unless you also want to write it!)

15. What are your creative goals for 2025?

Finish cc, finish the Did Someone Say Shots? series and danger zone and XRGTSAS, and then getting around to writing my super secret wip fic!

I have no clue who's done this and who hasn't so I'll be tagging @overjoyedisland @suebswrites @witch-and-her-witcher @essjaywrites and @ubiquitouslyme!

[lemonlyman-dotcom]

September August July June

Note: these are not in any order!

The night before Halloween by @ladytessa74

M | 21k

This is the cutest thing ever!! And also spooky. TK & Carlos and their five-year-old Elijah celebrate Halloween, go to a pumpkin patch and receive some unwanted visitors. Tessa’s TK & Carlos are as syrupy sweet as ever, but add on the cuteness of Elijah, aka Koala Bear, and I’m 🫠

Suddenly, in the Silence by @carlos-in-glasses

E | 10k

Another banger from Cig. TK & Carlos ride out a storm at Andrea’s house and are visited by a specter (maybe?). This is a beautiful look at faith and spirituality, and how people cope with the question of what happens after when you lose someone. Things I love: TK knowing nothing about cars but making them go vroom, Andrea and Tía Lucy with their seances, Carlos being a grumpy kitten, TK sashaying around in his fancy silk pajamas, the family dynamics of Andrea, TK & Carlos. They’re just so comfortable with each other in this fic, it feels so natural.

Road Rash by vaguenotion

T | 12k

Wow!!! The tension in this one. TK and Judd take a trip to visit Judd’s dad and encounter some nefarious characters on the way home. The Judd & TK brotherly dynamic is top notch here. The action, the pacing, the twists! All done so well. Cliche as it sounds, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

The Shadow by @itsrandomnobody7

T | 4.5k

Tarlos as pirates! I loved this concept! A very sweet story with one of my favorite visuals: Judd and Nancy fighting back to back.

Even if the World Ends Tomorrow by @bonheur-cafe

T | 12k

In this post-apocalyptic story TK & Carlos remember to celebrate their anniversary when the bluebonnets bloom 🥹 Carlos is injured and TNT has to treat him with limited resources. Lots of beautiful imagery here and sweet Tarlos moments.

come what may, I'll still stay by @strandnreyes

E | 26k

This is a very interesting and probably realistic look at what Carlos would be like if he did become a detective. He is so like Owen, and I love the way that aspect of his personality is explored here. Lots of juicy Tarlos tension. The story gives TK a lot of room to really feel his feelings in a way that feels true to character.

The Knave of Hearts . . . brought back the tarts by @liminalmemories21

E | 60k

Another incredible installment of the beloved art heist series! I highly recommend reading the first two before this one. The first two stories were so much about Carlos coming to terms with his past and learning to trust TK. This part TK has to grapple with insecurities stemming from his own history. And there’s another really fun heist!! Also spotting the Easter eggs and twists on canon is a lot of fun too.

Made it Easier Somehow by @paperstorm

T | 1.6k

Soft little moment of Carlos coming home after a late shift to find his husband asleep on the couch, having tried and failed to wait up for him. TK through Carlos’s eyes is always very sweet, but especially when Carlos is reflecting on what their relationship means to him.

RWRB

Where There Are Octobers by @iboatedhere

E | 51k

I was delighted to see Rae doing her daily October prompt fills again this year, even if it’s not for my favorite boys this time. Every day is a different little adventure, from doctors to strangers in the park to assassins on the run. The characterization and the dialogue is so, so spot on in every universe.

As always, this is not in any way a comprehensive list of all the good stuff that came out in October. This is the stuff that I was able to read and vibed with. This is a way for me to hype the stories that got me excited this month, and I encourage everybody to be intentional in reblogging fics and screaming about the stuff you’re reading and enjoying all month long. Let’s work to build this fandom into a more inclusive and encouraging place to create! Also, caveat that the Gabriel grief stuff is tough for me, so I’ve been avoiding and/or very slowly making my way through those ones

[hunkygreenbean]

I honestly hate the way reviewers and literary critics will read/interpret stories written by marginalized authors about said marginalized group and will say something along the lines of "Wooooow, what a poignant and emotional telling of your personal lived experience!!!" Especially with queer authors.

I hate this for two reasons. Firstly, it reinforces the trope of the "tortured artist." You don't have to be traumatized or mentally ill to write about tough topics or to create good art. If you are struggling, getting help will not destroy your creativity. Too many fantastic souls never take this advice, leading to burnout, addiction, self harm, and even suicide.

Secondly, it really discredits the amount of research, care, and effort that is put into writing these stories. It basically takes the years of writing and artistic prowess that these marginalized authors have built up and just reduces it to us trauma dumping for 300 pages. If a cishet white dude wrote a riveting story about like, a love story between an Indigenous intersex lesbian and a blind Black trans woman that delves into the role colonialism has played into our perceptions of sex and gender, he would be lauded as "a masterful storyteller that tugs on your heartstrings and brings these sensitive social issues to light." But if a queer, BIPOC, or disabled author wrote the exact same thing, all critics would do is just speculate on how much of the story is the author's personal experience.

The summary I provided is actually a smaller arc within a larger story I'm currently writing (or should I say drawing, since it's a webcomic). I'm BIPOC and queer, but I am not intersex, Indigenous, trans, or disabled. Most of the sociopolitical elements in my story are not my lived experience. I've had to do lots of research, editing, tinkering, rewriting, and redesigning in order to make my story interesting and impactful. It's not just me writing an autobiography about how traumatized I am with some different names and places.

And yes, marginalized groups do face similar traumas and struggles. Their are definite links between racism, sexism, colorism, intersexism, homophobia and transphobia (colonialism!!!). However just because we share similar struggles does not mean that we all have the exact same experiences. Some aspects of my story are based on things I've gone through based on the commonalities most queer people have, however you as the reader/critic won't necessarily know which is which. Because you don't know me personally! You might be able to glean some of my political leanings through my art, but unless you're like my mom or something, you have zero authority to speculate on whether or not my story or any other marginalized author's story is their own personal trauma/life/whatever.

"But the writing feels so real, how could you not have lived through [x event in story]?" Ok?? That doesn't necessarily mean the author lived through that. That just means they're a good writer.

TLDR I'm tired of marginalized authors having their works about a marginalized group be interpreted as trauma dumping for 300 pages because it makes you feel something instead of just recognizing the work as good writing.

My turn.

Usually, I would want to introduse myself. Name, age, hobbies and whatnot. Just like one of those friendship books from the early 90's and 00's. (This might kinda spoil my age). However, over the past few years I somewhat changed - not so much my character, what I enjoy and who I am but mostly how I treat and protect myself. I do believe that keeping personal information to myself is a good start.

A few things I will not be able to keep a secret is my never dying love for BTS since Oct '18, my love for art, sunflowers & @chikooritajjk I am really happy that my precious friend reintroduced me to tumblr. For the past few months, I have been sitting here, wondering where I could release my brain diarrhea. I asked myself "what about a diary?" but that wasn't really it. No judgement here, but to me it would feel like listening to your own voice - you know how that makes you cringe? Yeah, I didn't want that.

Tumblr on the other side feels better, mostly because its accessible for other people as well. Which doesn't mean I want 100 people to read this, but its the thought that I don't write stuff only for myself. If that makes sense. Well, probably not.

BTS

One thing I always loved reading was how Armys discovered BTS, or how some of us say, how BTS found us. I don't want to go too much into my emotional experience and how they indeed found me, but I will always be grateful. Not only because they helped me, and many others through difficult times, but also because of the friends I have made along the way. Whether it was on twitter, in front of the stadium while waiting in line, or when spotting an Army in the wild with a bt21 bag-charm. There is nothing reasonable about NOT being an army. I mean we get the whole thing. Fun, looks (not as important but you get me), friends, music that holds your hand in all possible circumstances. Tough day? listen to Magic Shop, feeling sad? Spring day. Feeling lonely? Mikrokosmos. You wanna feel badass? Blast cypher or we are bulletproof pt.2. We might have planners, scheduled appointments and routines throughout our day. But shit, nothing is guaranteed. Not our good mood, not a good day nor a perfect good nights sleep. Before BTS, these things gave me anxiety and scared the shit out of me. You know what? Sometimes they still do but things got easier. I have an escape. Something we all need. Before BTS it wasnt impossible but also not easy to lift my mood if a minor nuisance affected me. Sure, I did have other favorite songs or things I could do but did those things feel like a warm hug by your best friend? Did they feel as comfortabnle as taking your outside clothes off and wearing your sweatpants and hoodie after a long day? Did they feel like smelling your freshly lit candle that you inhale and it creates a smile on your face without you even noticing? The only thing that gave me the same amount as comfort as these things were things that involved BTS. So when some of us say "they saved me", there's a reason behind it. To some it might be a day that BTS saved, to some it might be something bigger.

With BTS and Army, I went through all kind of emotions. Sadness, happiness, diappointment, anger, fear, pride, exhaustion, excitement, joy, anticipation & most importantly love. (the negative feelings only because of western media) F*** JKLMNOPQRST

This takes me to why @chikooritajjk and I (or Armys in general) are so protective. Who would allow people you conider family/friends to be used, treated badly or negatively in any way. No one. I have no shame in calling them my family or friends. They might not know what I look like or who I am - but to them I'm Army and that's all that counts. What else would you call giving and receiving love, comfort and protection from another human? I'm not going to lie, I also had a shitton of fun pressing people's faces in their own shit they let out their moufssss.

Talk shit, get hit.

Last but not least

I dedicate this part to @chikooritajjk God knows the amount of gratitude I have to him for making me cross paths with BTS and letting you come in my life. You've been the greatest gift to me, ever. You helped me in so many ways. The most important thing that you helped me see is that I am more than just that person that is there for others.. You helped me understand that I am also me, a person with desires, dreams, a battery that can be drained and with wishes and beliefs. I can't thank you enough for that. From the day I wished you were my friend to this day, we made so many good, sad, teaching, beautiful and precious memories. We truly had it all. You know what makes me happier than talking to you? Hearing the positive things I have contributed to your life. Maybe it will make me sound selfish but I promise it's not about me, or what I did but its about the fact that YOU allow me to be there for you, to talk to you, to spend time with you and to be your friend. Man, I am going to sound super fangirl-y but what I mean is I accomplished being good enough to be your friend. Remember when you said you are obsessed with me? I think I am the obsessed one. If someone I liked, friend or not just sits in front of me and tells me "hey I like your bracelet" I will be like TAKE IT, IT'S YOURS! (unless its from @chikooritajjk.) I love sharing, I love putting a smile on people's faces. When it comes to you though, nah. You are nobody's but my best friend. I love you so much and trust me, I will knock anyone out for you, ANYTIME. Verbally and/or physically.

Joonie "I wish there was a better word than love. but i really, truly love you."

Hobi is my bias. So here.

Hello my friend! Would it be too much trouble to ask me for an Obey Me match??

Name: Mochi

Gender: female (she/her)

Sexuality: pansexual

MBTI: infp

Zodiac: Libra

Personality: Shy at first and generally quiet, but ambiverted and love to be around my chosen family. Naive and gullible but I put up a tough front and I'm very book smart. Love to have philosophical and deep conversations. I'm awkward but charming (at least I like to think so) and while I'm generally cheery and pleasant I can get a bit moody, and tend to be sensitive. Honesty and communication are very important to me. Also, very nerdy and indoorsy

I hope thats enough info!!

Okay first off: Yay!!!! Another INFP Libra 🥰

Secondly, your information is a bit on the small side, but I think I might be able to scrape something up for ya~

Okay so your MBTI: INFP (just like me 🤭)

This means your function stack is FiNeSiTe or more simply, FiNe.

Your primary function is Introverted Feeling. This means you lead your life asking questions like

"How would this make me feel?"

"Does this decision match up with the morals/values that I hold dearly?"

And overall, you are a person who does a lot of reflection, both on yourself and the state of the world.

This is supported by your auxiliary function, Extraverted iNtuition. This helps you find patterns, form connections, and overall see many possibilities. This function serves your Fi and collects information for it to process.

For your sun sign, Libra, it shows you are indecisive, friendly, and fair. You aim to be diplomatic and kind to all you meet, but at your lowest you can be codependent, impatient, and fragile.

We Libras are ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money; this leads us to generally be artistic and enjoy both creating and admiring art in various forms.

We are a cardinal sign, meaning we can do great at taking initiatives, but our indecision also stops us in our own tracks. We need to learn to trust our own intuition instead of always pausing our efforts to look at other perspectives.

All of this info, including the others you listed above, bring a few things to mind.

You need a s/o who can accept you at your core. You feel deeply and think deeply and you need someone who can appreciate that about you.

You need someone who will respect you and not let anyone take advantage of your gullible nature while also not becoming frustrated with you about it.

There are a few Boys who come to mind for you with this information and with so little, I can't truly say any of them are wrong for you.

However, there is one name that has been extra persistent in my mind for you. Because of this

I pair you with...

Solomon

Honestly, I just think this man checks all of the boxes in the strongest way possible.

He'd love your deep thinking ways, something he wishes he saw in more people.

Soli would find your sensitive and gullible nature to be too tempting and would have plenty of fun in teasing you; never far enough to hurt your feelings, but always enough to bring a cute blush to your cheeks.

Most importantly, he would protect you from those who wish to use those traits to hurt you. This man has been alone for a very long time and therefore is very protective of those he loves. No one would risk taking advantage of these traits of yours that the sorcerer finds so beautiful because they'd have to deal with him if they even thought about it.

Honestly, I don't think Solomon let's other see his philosophical side a lot, but I know he has it; he has lived for thousands of years and has an insatiable curiosity for this world. To me, it would be strange if he never asked or pondered the big questions in life and I truly believe you would find such conversations with him to be fulfilling and mentally stimulating.

I'll admit, Solomon might have an issue opening up to you at first. He's lived for so long, experienced so many terrible things (some that he no longer remembers well, but still feels their affects to this day).

He's not someone who would lie to his little Minx, but I think he would dodge your questions for a while till he truly starts to feel safe with you.

Solomon is someone I can see loving you completely to your core. He has his issues, yes, but you have this magical way of breaking his walls down.

He loves you for your heart, mind, and soul and will appreciate who you are the most out of all of the Boys.

And perhaps some headcanons on Maria & Gehrman 🥺 if you want to

Back to the cute ship headcanons scheduled program!

💔 Damn, I used to write Gehrman as that tormented, traumatised, emotional brick of a man orphaned as a child and only having found peace, healthy outlet for his obtained negative impulses and development as a very inventive individual thanks to very patient and loving adoptive parents! Who only first felt WHAT IS LOOOVE~ at the age of like, 50, and towards Maria, hahah. The core of that interpretation still stands, and I think Hunter's Dream doesn't really age people, and Gehrman was getting "older" only mentally, so the two would still have about 20 years of an age gap, yeah; Not necessarily a damning thing - various sorts of dynamics can happen, and they are not always inherently dysfunctional!

🌻 Despite Maria idealising him and being really impressed by his skills as monsters hunter / archaeologist, she would not be quite all that shy and coy, far be it. She could still object him and speak her honest mind if she deemed it appropriate - a trait he appreciated in people dearly, having (unintentionally) appeared to be 'menacing' in his younger years (not to mention the absolutely abnormal height). Her sincerity, sometimes even naive one, was one of the things that attracted him!

💔 I believe that Maria was the one to teach other Old Hunters, Gehrman included, the Art of Quickening; it seems to be a very Pthumerian thing (the elder, man), and it is implied it's her bone that Paleblood Hunter can use to do the trick! It was one of the instances of 'a student having something to teach to the teacher'. Gehrman would quickly get accustomed to treating the younger woman as an equal, which resulted in him at times venting to her about his middle-aged man grudges, harsh past and fuckin health issues. Maria was feeling awkward, but not in the bad way; not only she was glad to help out a friend that Gehrman became, but also could confirm those were not the cringiest things she heard ahahah

🌻 They could discuss engine and effectiveness of weapons, battle tactics, history of wars and weapons creations and so on for HOURS. This stuff is Gehrman's special interest that makes his eyes spark with enthusiasm and adds life in his otherwise sad and detached manner of speaking, whereas Maria was a good listener, and genuinely interested on her own as a Knight with noble motivations to protect the humanity from "monsters" looming over. Gerhman could not help but felt very moved by a person who is not only much younger, but also A GIIIIIRL o_o o: 🤯 to listen about this stuff with so much interest and comprehension. She asked very interesting questions, too.

💔 In trying to be more like him, Maria was trying to pull the "no cutesy!!!" mentality, regardless of still loving flowers, ribbons, animals (especially baby ones) and other adorable stuff. She wanted to be tough to impress him more, so that side of her would be pushed aside more and more. The plot twist? Gehrman himself is a HUGE fucking softie loving dolls, flowers, tea-parties and all that! He himself was trying to repress that side of him, to create the image of a tough badass mentor only knowing how to kill - especially for Maria. Basically, they both turned out to be total idiots upon trying to impress one another with how Tough TM they would be xD

🌻 It does not mean that they are not ALSO tough, however! Maria was the one to remove his beasthood-infected leg and carry his injured ass all by herself to seek help; and Gehrman once killed an Executioner guy that tried to have a go at Maria when she was succumbing to vampiric blood-lust and was able to talk her down into sanity all by himself. All not to mention how most of the hunts they were paired together; a common practice amongst hunters, so no beast will creep from behind (check Gascoigne + Henryk). They saved each other at least once with just the power of their loyalty and the character.

💔 I do believe there was a window in the timeline for Maria and Gehrman to have had dated, actually, before initial breakup with Maria abandoning the hunt and being greatly disappointed in Gehrman for seeing Laurence's ass and not being able to say no 'madness of his curiosity'. But, I do think they'd have a hella hard time coming together, both being very shy and uncertain about it. Gehrman would feel very self-conscious about being 'too old and broken' for the young, beautiful and energetic person like her, not willing to burden her with his old man shit; meanwhile, Maria would (falsely) assume he already has a lot of simps, among older and more experienced women (or men, for that matter) and she risked losing his respect and approval by even trying to flirt. It would be their friends like Henryk, Matias (Blood Minister from cutscene) and maybe even Ludwig and Laurence themselves that would see the Tension (TM) and try to talk to them about it or set them up together so they could break it. For some reason, in my stuff every single ship with Maria comes down to 'just fucking TALK already AAAAAAAA' fsdhfhds

🌻 TMI but Gehrman would be not the best lover, actually...? (subjective hmmm) His style is to go too slowly, give too many kisses, feel too strongly too intensely, fondle every bit of the person's body... and then fuckin' fall asleep on them from the sheer feelings of warmth and tenderness overwhelming him fdjhfhsdf If something was to ever happen between the two, Maria would have to take the lead, as someone who sure has a tender side, but is not THAT much of a slave to it, hahah. But they probably never had a 'something', some couples just vibe and are happy like that, you know?

💔 Their first kiss was probably on a bet by playing with friends, though. Again - they were very shy and hesitant, fully sure that the other did not feel the same, whereas having cringe gremlins for friends that wanted to help them to come to terms with their attraction hahah. (you dipshits smh)

🌻 In plenty of ways, actually, my version of Gehrmaria is just hetero ship version of Valtr x Yamamura. A battle-hardened ruthless killer mentor figure and a young, passionate warrior with fair share of naivety but also a great potential. Gehrman was as inspiring for Maria with his stoicism as Valtr was inspiring to Yamamura with his rage and passion.

💔 "Okay, no, for reals, enough with the 'Gerhman ruined Maria's masculinity with the Doll' takes. Where are the 'Gehrman's FEMININITY was not allowed to show off so he projected hard' takes?" (c) quotes of great Russian girls. For real though, imagine Maria helping Gehrman to pick a dress and being THE source of approval x) It is all light-hearted, of course, as you know I jiggle like 5 version of why Doll is Like That and all of them are nice to Gehrman's character, but I think this dynamic would be the cutest!

🌻 Actually, most of the times I see this ship as best friends that simply hug and kiss ... more often than 'friends' would do that, let's say so. When they would not hunt, or perhaps in a "happy"/modern AU - they would go on adventures and explore, especially abandoned and historical places. Just experiencing the world together and being fucking NERDS. Absolute fucking NERDS about most of the things. When they do not share the interest - it is always one being a great listener!

💔 It might feel a little sad, but I imagined them preferring to adopt a child (if they'd ever get to that stage of relationship) rather than having one of their own. Maria would fear to pass the 'evil', 'bloody' genetics, and Gehrman would respect the concern - whereas having his own motivation to give care and love to "discarded" child that he once was. They would be a really good couple of adoptive parents, really. Not something that was meant to happen in canon, of course. Hahaha! Imagine an AU where they absolutely destroy the Choir and instead take all the orphans as their adopted kids! Now, if they only still had balls after Laurence's influence, huh?

stares at Laurence like in this meme:

_______________________

Thank you for the ask! I know this was more the 'dynamic' rather than the ship itself, but I tried! For me it is just one of those ships in which types of love kinda blur, so it is hard to say what type of companions they'd be determined as. I do still think they used to be very close, regardless of what kind of a bond it was!

[allthingsfook]

I'm gonna keep this anonymous cause personal but not really hehe!

I am a 21-year-old woman who's 5'5 and with light brown hair, fair skin, and Brown/green eyes (they change color in different lighting). I have a little mole (beauty mark) on the left side of my face, kind of full lips, and where little to no makeup daily. I'd say my body type is mid-size (192 lbs and I can fit into M/L/XL so it's hard to tell) and I'm not too curvy.

I'm an Aquarius Sun, Virgo rising, Capricorn moon, and Venus in Aquarius. My hobbies are painting, drawing, and any kind of visual art. I love rock music, both old and new, and will sometimes listen to folk music. I'm entering my fourth year of college as an Arts Management Major and Comm minor (still got a way to go till I graduate cause shit's expensive) and ideally would love to be a part-time artist and work in PR or Journalism.

I come off as shy and particular with a little stubbornness, but as you get to know me I open up and will laugh with you and share things I'm passionate about whether it's big or small. I will always try to hide my emotions around you and if we are really close you'll be able to get me to talk about it cause you know how I try to mask it all.

Extra facts: I love cats, I love pasta so much it's what I eat the most, I am a caffeine addict, and I have never dated anyone.

Who would you ship me with?

Sorry if this was long 😬

Hiiii!!! I am so incredibly sorry this has taken me this long to get through my inbox, BUT good new is…. You are last, but MOST DEFINITELY not least!!! I won’t make this drag out any longer, so lets jump into it!!

I ship you with….

Daniel Robert Wagner

Let’s start with the zodiac compatibility… Both Capricorn’s and Aquarius’ are intentional with their love lives. You are cautious, yet open-minded. You take time to build a trusting relationship, and slowly approach each other’s vulnerabilities and insecurities together. Danny would be the best partner to help you through that. He is incredible patient and kind. He would wait as long as you need him to for you; just to feel safe with him. He’d assure you along the way, not only with his words, but with his actions. Once all the walls are broken down, you’d share a stable and positive life.  

With the foundation of your relationship being extremely strong, it’s easy to see how the rest of it can fall into place. Your hobbies are things I could easily see Danny eager to do with you. Clearly Danny is a very talented man, not just with drumsticks in hand… maybe a paint brush or marker. He’d jump at the chance to hunker down into a cozy corner of the house with you, skim through pages of an activity book and color you a purple monkey. He’d hold it up to you like a proud 1st grader and sport a cheesy smile. You’d giggle and tell him you love it! I could see you discovering an old rock song one day. Playing it in the shower, the car, and around the house. Danny would recognize the tune and quickly learn how to play it on the guitar. One night while he is playing around, he’d start casually playing that song. You’d slowly catch on and begin dancing around, singing the lyrics with him. Those are the moments he would live for with you. So innocent and playful. Just what he needs after years of rigorous touring and creating.

Danny, per usual, would be extremely supportive when it came to your education. He’d understand the need to take things slow or even taking time away from it. For someone who didn’t have to go to college, he’d seem to know a lot about the woes of it. Or maybe he is just that insightful to your feelings. He’d be your biggest cheerleader on the days you get stellar grades. Then he’d be your shoulder to cry on when things get tough. No matter the circumstance, he’s always going to stand beside you. When you do complete your academics, he’ll be blushing over you. Showering you with reminders of how far you’ve come and how smart you are. When you are ready to step foot into a career, Danny would be hyping you up on social media, and getting your name out with his contacts. We love a supportive man!!!

I suppose it is the Aquarius in you that identifies with being shy and stubborn. Definitely a few things Danny would be able to handle. Compared to the other boys, Danny is certainly a little more reserved. That may be the very thing that unites the two of you when you first meet. He’d notice you behind your drink and subtle smirks over the obnoxious gal in the room. Once the two of you have been together for a while, he’ll get a taste of that stubbornness. Again, Danny is so understanding and not very quick to temper. He’ll have his ways of taming you. Not in a dismissive or demeaning way either. He’d be kind and understanding. Giving you reason and words of affirmation. Once you come back down to earth, your passionate, loving, beaming soul will shine again. The very reasons Danny would love you!

To address your tid bits:

Danny would adopt any cats you may have now, and if you don’t have any (or want more) I could see him coming home with a tiny kitten in the palm of his hand with a bell on it’s collar. He’d insist on naming it something like Ludwig or Ramone.

Danny would also love a good bowl of pasta. As I am sure you know, he is a great cook and the minute you beg for a pasta dish, he’ll be in the kitchen boiling it up.

Danny would share and feed into your caffeine addiction. If that is in the form of coffee, he’d always be making early morning coffee runs. Greeting you with a cup in hand.

And finally, Danny would be so accepting and understanding of you not being in a relationship. He’d agree to take things slow and guide you through everything. His want for you to feel comfortable and safe is so profound. You will quickly understand how deeply he would care for you!

Alright!!! I so hope you are happy with this ship! As always, let me know what you think! I always love to hear back!!!!

hi kylee!

i’m back with another “gentle reminders” ask. it goes in line with one of my personal goals this year of trying to work on my kindness and how i show that kindness to others.

the beginning of a new year is always a bit tough for many people, for many reasons but at the scale of the fandom, i have noticed some negativity starting to spread. maybe it’s bound to happen on any social media but i always considered tumblr to be different, to be over the kind of discourse you could find on other apps. this place has been a true haven for many of us and i would like to keep it that way, so i thought, as a way to counterbalance this negativity, i could compensate with a nice message for one of the driving forces in the fandom: our dear writers.

i would like to begin by saying thank you.  thank you for dedicating your time, your energy, your love and sharing pieces of yourself with us. the fandom wouldn’t be what it is without you: just like a body needs a brain or a heart to function properly, fandoms need writers like they need others contributing. thank you for offering diversity, engaging with different tropes and characters to reach as many readers as possible. i will admit, some things proposed are not my cup of tea but i know they can be enjoyed by others, the same way some of my favorite fics wouldn’t necessarily attract others. so thank you for giving a chance to everyone to find what they enjoy, to discover, to learn, to cry, to laugh, to love and to be able to do so in an open, safe space. thank you for interacting with us as well. thank you for responding to our questions, sharing snippets when we get impatient, teasing us with your new ideas and making life a little more fun and exciting every day. and of course, thank you for doing all of this for free. for expecting so little in return when you give us so much.

now a few things i want you to remember: 

although we’re all thankful for having access to your art, your first fan should be yourself. write what you enjoy, write that self-indulgent fic, write your favorite trope, an improbable duo or crossover because you’ve always wanted to. do it for yourself. in the same way, have fun with it. writing is a hobby, it’s not your job, it’s not supposed to be a chore. so do what makes you happy. don’t worry about updating fics, about being slow, about posting too much or too little. some things might take time, some might need an hour to be posted but in the end, they all matter just the same. they’re worth being read and cherished and we will appreciate them. whether you have thousands of notes or barely a few hundreds, you have your place here. you’re still an amazing writer, you’re still an artist regardless of the stats. 

whether i've had time to binge-read your stories or just discovered you. thank you. i love you. i’m grateful for you. i see and appreciate your work. your efforts. you.  i’m sorry if you’ve ever been received with negativity but i hope this can make up for some of it.  you deserve nothing but kindness and appreciation and i hope you know how much you matter here.

sending you all my love,

anna 💗

hi anna,

reading this felt like a really sweet letter and your message touches my heart. this is a good reminder that people like you make being part of this fandom so incredibly special and I appreciate you taking the time to write something so incredibly personal and filled with gratitude to spread positivity, it means the world not to just me, but all of us writers.

knowing that our hobby brings so many people joy and creates a safe space for readers is the most rewarding thing, it's what we all want to achieve.

sending you back all my love and gratitude, anna, thank you for taking the time to write this and send to your favorite writers, I'm genuinely so grateful!

all my love,

kylee

[poedameronwifey]

A true home( The hobbit Fanfic)

Hey you guys, gals and non-binary pals.

I have decided to post my story on here. It is still on Wattpad but I thought perhaps I should also post it on here. Please don't be afraid to comment and like. I would love hearing your opinions. Please also understand that I'm very new to this. I hope you'll like my book. Also its a group thing really. My friends' also contribute to this so they also deserve the credit.

My friend Chiara is the artist but unfortunately due to family events she will be unable to work on the drawings as she is still going through a very tough time so I hope you will be patient and wait until she is more comfortable to do it again.

Thank you for understanding and I hope that hopefully soon in the next year you might be able to see the art she created. Anyway many thanks for those who read this story. I really appreciate it and so do my friends.

Also Please don't be afraid to message about anything. I promise I'm a very friendly person...Most times. Anyway see ya soon. Bye.

Allright!

♥️💻💫💪✨

Haha ya know I didn't expect to actually get an ask! thanks dear! ❤️- do you have a fav fanfic? (From any fandom?) That's such a tough one cause I mean I've been reading fanfics for 20 years. So a lot of my favs are long gone by now. And I have a lot bookmarked too. I think it would be cliché of me to ask that I still love the Boosh fic A Life Less Ordinary. Its just the epitome of a Boosh fic imo. There's a really good POTC out there somewhere, possibly still on FF.net that me and my oldest friend still talk about to this day. 💻- how often do you write? oh jeeze, technically I write almost every day but its not always fanfics, mostly its role play sessions. I wish I wrote fanfics every day, but its become a rare thing for me. Lots of starts and stops. So not as often as I'd like. 💫- do you have a fav au, personal or something else?

OKAY! but AUs!? idk if you know this or if anyone knows this but I LOOOOVE AUs! I good well thought AU is so delicious! I love all the normal ones. Coffeeshop, Tattoo VS. Flowers Shop. Or any those variations are amazing to me. Specially if you have to specify that its a "modern" or "human" AU since a lot of my favs tend to be from period pieces or aren't human in general. Like taking a character and placing them so perfectly in another role that fits them just as well with hobbies or backstories that parallel the original canon? GIMMIE IT! 💪- whats ur favorite personal work?

HMMM I don't have many but until I write something that tops it, imo my favorite an best work is Electro Swing Circus. I wrote it at good place in my life, during the holidays. While I was working for a retail store. An it was the last fic I wrote under those conditions. Which are odd conditions but that's how I started and I haven't been able to reach that level of pride in my work since. ✨- self love! rec one of ur own works! Art or fic! HAHA you might expect me to link the work above but I wont lol I'm gonna rec something that isn't only mine but also @thatpointywitch's as well because I think everyone should be amazed by our skills at creating a ship from nothing: Friday I'm in Love
