astrology observations 7 ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ ᯓ★

siren edition

a siren, according to greek mythology, is “a creature half bird and half woman who lured sailors to destruction by the sweetness of her song”. sirene(1009) is the asteroid representing this creature in us. this is dark goddess energy, our way of deceptively seducing another. you may resonate with the persona of a siren if it has a heavy influence in your chart, particularly in the first house.

onto my observations!

•one of the first people i think of when i think of sirens is miss lana del rey. upon looking at her chart, yes, her sirene is in scorpio and the 12th house. i think the 12th house is a potent place for sirene to be, in alluring neptunian waters. and with scorpio, that sexual, otherworldly persona is a magnet for any man she could want!

•i have my sirene in taurus and the fourth house ~ and i’d say anyone with sirene in taurus/2nd house/cancer/4th house can be quite coy when it comes to their domestic life. they’ll make you feel at home with them and subtly spend more and more time at place, enchanting you with pillow talks and dinners, and who knows, maybe they just want a free meal. or, maybe they long for a sense of security and comfort and know exactly how to get it from you.

•those with sirene in the 7th house may say no to a proposal, or back out of an engagement. it’s even possible for them to seduce a married man/woman into a relationship with them. champagne problems by taylor swift vibes🥂

•sirene in 3rd house🤝sexy jazz singer energy

•sirene square chiron natives will only be hurt by attempts to deceive men ~ they need to learn to heal their manipulative tendencies around lust and sex, and for many of them it stems from a wound of drawing in the wrong kind of person.

•sirene square uranus might literally freak someone out by encroaching on their energy.

•siren conjunct venus girlies, how does it feel to be the most mystically attractive specimens on this earth!??

that’s all for now guys. please let me know of any posts you’d like to see in the future!

I saw several people wondering how to participate in this bingo event. so this is how it goes: you look through your recs, you fill out the card, and... you post it 😉

to make this even more interesting, every author that gets tagged in a bingo card is now challenged to fill their own. I said what I said.

---

main character is a side character to fail better by orphan this is an unusual rec for me since the main character is camilla collins, and the main relationship explored here is jack/camilla. but really, I adore it because it's a rare example of an outsider pov on jack through the eyes of someone who likes him, and maybe sees more of him than he know. there's something very sad about jack at this point of his story, but his and canilla's awkward attempts to make something real of what they almost have are really endearing. plus: even if jack didn't fall in love with camilla, I definitely did.

still a WIP Increasing Engagement by always1895 I have a problem of hoarding WIPs and occasionally checking on them like I'm waiting for them to return from the war. this is one of those WIPs. there are two things I can never turn down, and those are social media fics and an enemies to lovers arc. just know my ass is sat down for whenever this fic is finished, and yours should be too. (*) if anyone knows the author's tumblr handle, please tag them!

short fic Patient as Pie by @edgarallanrose no fluff hits quite as hard as zimbits fluff. this short fic has jack being needy and affectionate and domestic, and it just makes me warm and gooey inside whenever I read it. which, you know, is often.

inspired you to write Two Things Only by @thewesternredcedar I'm going old school with this one, because whenever I think of a fic that inspires me I think of the summer I read this fic six times to get through my own fic. this may be in my top ten favorite fics of all time. it has endless amounts of pining, hilarity, silliness, and to top it all off, it's set during my favorite time to read about: right after graduation and before Y3. it does such a good job of nailing that jack and bitty essence that I just can't help coming back to it for inspiration.

bookmarked recently (...ish) say my name (and call me a liar) by @weneedtotalkaboutfic it may be cheating to rec a fic that was written for you, but uh, I don't care. this fic just hits all the right spots. it's smart, it's funny, it's mysterious, it's sexy, it's emotional. it has both super slow-burn and whatever the opposite of that is, thanks to a wonderful two-person-love-triangle. and if that's not enough, the real star of this fic is jack zimmermann and the journey of his sexuality and his happiness, which just blew me away.

BONUS: canon divergence But this place still stands, this place remains unchanged by @doggernaut I already have my bingo but I have more to rec, so. this fic is a really fun glimpse into a future that could've been, and it's supported by a wonderful ensemble cast (of both canon characters and realistic-feeling OCs). this fic made me laugh out loud and clutch my chest, and even though I knew where the story is headed, I couldn't wait to arrive there with it.

BONUS: isn't on AO3 lighthouse au by @appalamutte this is one of those tumblr snippets I wish I could will into becoming a full fic. just that one scene, along with the bonus background, made me fall instantly in love. historical au's can be hit or miss for me, but this was so unique and so intriguing, and (as already established) I can't resist a good enemies to lovers action.

BONUS: FREE here you come again by @ivecarvedawoodenheart honestly, no one rips my heart out of my chest quite like syd does. the first time I read this I was too emotional to think thoughts, but the second (and third, and fourth) I was just like: tell me everything about this. immediately. the phrasing lives in my head rent free? this short fic literally does.

hi, Pancake here (@pancake-umbreon) with another intro post because the fourth and final main character has joined the blog! i am so not normal about botw/totk. especially with Zelda :3

pelipper mail/malice is on, but magic anons are not. also no nsfw is allowed! also this is the link for tag navigation!

Zelda and Link are post-totk (totk spoilers will not be tagged, so take caution if you haven’t finished the game), but Urbosa and Mipha are pre-botw. they have not died yet. i do in fact intend to be scheming with this.

note about pink text color: anyone whose text color is pink is a side character! they will not be joining the blog permanently whenever they pop on. hence why characters like Cynthia and Fantina have the same text color.

please let me know OOC if any trigger warnings need to be tagged!

also here's the full-sized profile picture if you're interested :> (tis indeed my art)

additional important note: please do not send me any pokemon or pokemon eggs or anything of the like unless you ask for permission first. unfortunately, chances are that i will say no because i already have their teams laid out.

also, anyone is free to interact! literally anyone! eebies/sapient pokemon, fallers (obviously), etc etc. again, just as long as it’s not nsfw ^v^

[multiplicity-positivity]

Hi! any idea of how to deal with learning your source and/or source creator is a bad person?

its a sad thing weve had to go through a couple of times, but still arent quite sure what were supposed to do. its specifically something we take fairly hard as well, because the creator is often apart of a large comfort or hyperfixation or special interest. anyway, i was just wondering if you had any tips at all.

Hello. While we personally have not had much firsthand experience with having an alter whose source turned out to be a bad person, we do have some advice that might be beneficial for you during this difficult time.

First: it’s alright to mourn or grieve the loss of someone you and your system once looked up to. It’s alright to feel hurt or betrayed when someone you thought was a kindhearted person turns out to not have others’ best interests at heart. There are no wrong feelings. It’s alright to be sad or even distraught about this. We’d encourage you to feel your emotions and attempt to connect with them, sit with them, and ultimately, let them go. Letting go of emotions without allowing yourself to feel them can be difficult and challenging - it’s probably best to spend some time sitting with your negative emotions before attempting to dismiss them.

Second: It may be reassuring to remember that, as introjects, we are not literally our sources. Just because our sources made bad decisions or chose to take advantage of someone else does not mean we are doomed to repeat those mistakes. We are capable of learning from our sources, it’s true, and even acknowledging their mistakes as examples of how we can lead our lives a bit differently. And we can do this without repeating the actions of our sources or convincing ourselves that, because our source is/was harmful, we are harmful as well.

Third: If knowing your source is harmful/committed violence or bigotry greatly distresses you, and if you are struggling to distance yourself from your source and/or feel like YOU are responsible for your source’s actions, some degree of source separation may be necessary. I (Cecil) have written my thoughts on source separation in the past, and I will link this post here so you can learn more about our experience with source separation if you think it might be useful.

Please keep in mind that you do not have to completely and totally separate from your source in order to view them in a healthy, more distanced way. You can still identify as or strongly with your source while simultaneously acknowledging that you are your own person and are not responsible for the actions, thoughts, and decisions of your source.

Fourth: In general, not just with introjects, we do believe it is possible to separate a creator’s work from the creator themself. If we find out that an artist we admired was taking advantage of someone else or otherwise caused irreparable harm to others, we will stop engaging with their content in ways that benefit the artist, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up enjoying that artist’s work entirely. We may become more critical of their work. We may try to explore other creators who aren’t as… problematic. And we will certainly stop supporting that artist, be it through purchases, subscriptions, or views. But that doesn’t mean we have to cut their works out of our lives forever. So we firmly believe it is possible to continue enjoying or engaging with your system’s hyperfixations and special interests. You may just need to find ways to do so that do not support or benefit the harmful creator in question.

I do apologize that this post got a bit rambly and long-winded. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do to help you. Thank you for your time, and take care.

Hate for everyone to be seeing this but please reblog if u wanna. But slight warning about for what ur gonna read.

So Saturday I was at AZ mills shopping for school stuff right? I was w my mom and Titi (my aunt) about to leave all of a sudden we just heard screaming then people running.

Me and my mom tried ducking down at a kiosk but thankfully a lady was near guiding us to an exit nearby too. We got out safely but immediately after we legit thought we got sorta caught up in a mall sh**ting.

After, almost like every 20 mins I would go back onto google and begin to refresh my page to see if any articles were yk made already to give me some sorta closure. It did.

Turns out a fight just broken out at a kiosk. Three people were apparently trying to steal things and in the process got into a fight with the cashier and pushed him. This person fell and ended up getting a laceration on his head from a piece of furniture on the way down. And I’m guessing something fell which mimicked a sh*t fired and people ran thinking it was or just didn’t wanna be in the mix.

Why am I even telling everyone this?? Well.. I decided to go on tik tok cuz I know there must be some videos about it whether it be just footage as the were hiding or evacuating. But this one acc is basically lying about the whole situation.

Ofc people called it a sh**ting at first cuz they yk thought it was but this one kid tried to say it was and make up a whole story of how he was “injured” even using one of the most low quality images off of google to “prove it”. I know camera quality varies but I highly doubt it’s this bad.

His other video giving his side is also on his page still.

The Tempe police department has confirmed there was no shooting. On both their twitter and multiple articles have stated it too. So this person is attempted to cash out on something that probably scarred the victim and A LOT of people cuz lemme tell u the mall was PACKED whether this was their first scare or it was the second third fourth or however many times they’ve experienced this traumatic experience. INCLUDING ME. Literally today I was scared of going to Walmart and for like the beginning of the thing I was holding to her arm so just in case. But also just imagining how the hell it would even go down.

I’m drawing attention to this scammer because ain’t no way would I encounter a person trying to profit off of something traumatic for the victim, witnesses, and bystanders but also twist the narrative into something even more horrible than what was confirmed by the literal police.

Please repost this cuz idk if anyone else has posted about this yet but also to bring light to this terrible person and the even more terrible situation.

Hello, I am 24 and I enjoy writing literate or novella length replies. I try to reply at least once a day and I speak OOC or in a plotting channel a few times a day because I really enjoy the plotting process. I tend to like planning out my plots before I write and that can take a bit of time before actually starting the Roleplay. Minors do not interact. All characters and writers must be 18+

I do not write smut with my characters typically, I am fine with adult themes in my stories but I tend to prefer fading to black. I don’t have any triggers that I can think of off of the top of my head and am willing to write angst to your heart’s content.

My account recently got unshadowbanned so I’m really excited to write again and am sorry if you attempted to reach out and didn’t get a response.

I would also be open to people reaching out regarding group roleplays on discord.

Pairings and Things I write, the characters I write will be the first listed name:

For Harry Potter:

JamesXRegulus

JamesXLily

I also will write Jegulily

SiriusXRemus

HarryXDraco

HarryXHermione

I would be willing to do other ships within this fandom, feel free to reach out regarding them.

———-

I would like to do a hunger games Roleplay with Ocs. Please reach out regarding that for more information.

—————-

Eragon/The Inheritance Cycle

EragonXArya

——

I would also enjoy a Twilight roleplay with nearly any ship honestly.

——

Fourth wing is a new muse of mine! I write as Liam or Xaden and I have a few plots for the universe.

I have tons of plot ideas for these characters and fandoms, interact with this post and I will message you and set up an organized Discord server for our writing.

Our skyy 2- Wrap Up

Since this is an anthology and I, being the simp that I am, have watched all of the original shows, I thought it'd be fun to rank all the episodes.

The thing is, even though I have watched all of the shows, my opinion on these episodes are very reliant on my opinions of the original show as well. Meaning if I loved the original show and the our skyy episode was meh, it might be ranked lower than shows I didn't feel so highly about, but the our skyy episode delivered. Anywho-

7. Sky in your heart (ep 3-4)

Tbh I wasn't the biggest fan of the original show, but this episode was very in tone with said show. It was overall, cute. The greenflags were greening with the communication and lack of jealousy. You go boys! Live your happiest life.

But I did miss the other pair of the show (idk if you can technically count it as this show since they were two 7 episode series, but I would have liked to see even a cameo from them). Good vibes. I liked it.

(what i didn't like in a side note is the chunky ring design)

6. My school president (ep 9-10)

To anyone who hasn't already, you havvvveee to go watch the original show. It is so sweet it will give you diabetes. And I loved the concept of this episode.

As a fanfic author I was mostly here for the validation that all our headcanons are canon. But, it felt like a highlight reel with roles reversed. Which is interesting but 2 episodes wasn't enough time to develop that story.

For what they attempted they did aight! I kinda wish we got something more post canon in their universe, happy cute boyfriends™, but yk. It's okay. More Fourth and Gemini always makes me happy. Plus the cast seemed to have fun filming it if the behind the scenes are any indication.

5. A boss and a babe (ep 11-12)

Listen, half the excitement of our skyy is missing these characters. So it was surely a choice by gmm to time this episode riiiighhhttt after the finale of the show.

That being said, this episode was pretty dang fun. Am I still mourning the loss of multiple unresolved storylines from the show they set up and literally forgot about- yes (Drake, you deserved better🤧). But considering our skyy 2 is the biggest "who took my FANFIC out of ao3 and into YouTube" plot ever, I'll overlook it.

This episode managed to do what neither enchanté nor abaab did- show me the appeal of forcebook. They are very cute in light-hearted settings. I'm yet to see them thrive in the drama, but only friends is happening soon... Soooooo

4. Never Let Me Go (ep 1-2)

Now thiss was a perfect soulmates AU for TV (or YouTube in this case) if I've ever seen one. We got the time travel, the drama, the classism all wrapped in a ball of all fluff and no angst. They understood the assignment.

Again. I missed my second couple (I am Perth Stan, I can't help myself. The 6 of us who demanded justice for Chopper, I see you!) But I didn't miss them too much, coz the premise was fun.

(I also loved the house set that they had!! I wanna go visit it if it's real!)

3. The Eclipse (ep 5-6)

These two episodes are single-handedly responsible for increasing the average number of kisses in Our Skyy. I wasn't even expecting this many? Even if it was basically just prep for Khao and First in Only friends, I'm still here for it.

It was also surprisingly an episode that caused a lot of debate about Akk and/or Ayan being out of character, which I didn't expect, but have my opinions on.

But overall, it was an extremely sweet episode with political and social commentary that the show had, but commentary lite. The locations were fantastic! I honestly just want more First and Khao in everything, please and thank you.

2. Bad Buddy x A Tale of a Thousand Stars (ep 13-16)

(please don't kill me)

Speaking of who took my fanfic out of ao3, OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. I knewwww we can trust in P'Aof for delivering a story. BUT DID I EXPECT HIM TO PUT ALL MY FAVS IN THE SAME SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME???? What great times we're living in *sighs in bl*.

Watching EarthMix slip back into phuphatian was a pleasure. Ohm and Nanon are sooo awesome! I missed Pat and Pran so much. The crossover could have easily gone into the forced-for-fanservice territory, but they had a plot for it!🤌🏼

They brought back characters that felt like home. Even the conflicts were so lived in. It is self aware in what small things can blow out of proportion.

Watching Pat and Pran in their college years hiding their relationship after reading countless fanfics about it- just, tears. Thanks! I love them. I missed them. I'm living for this. I see why this was at the end. Worth all the hype and more.

Still screaming about this, and have been for two weeks. Will keep you updated on when or if I stop.

Buuuut the reason I didn't rank this at the top is because we didn't get enough bad buddy in the crossover. I loved both the shows, but i feel like pat pran were slightly overshadowed. I was lowkey cringing by the end too with the second atots recreation of the series!? Oh god. But we got a proposal! And the confirmation it's an open secret?!? And whatever tf it was that korn and wai were doing backstage🤡. So it was almost in the number one spot, it's just that I preferred my actual number one spot episode more.

1. Vice Versa (ep 7-8)

Did I expect vice versa to be this high on my list, nope. Did I fall and virtually adopt this kid as soon as he came on screen... Maybe👀. Are Jimmy and Sea climbing up on my couples i can't wait to see more of this yes- also maybe.

But even otherwise, I think this episode had the most solid and cohesive storyline. Everyone felt familiar and acted in character. They even wrapped up the whole random-kid-showed-up-at-our-front-door plot surprisingly well. Like if you watched the episode, they left very clear hints.

They even kept the colour theme (even though multi colour isn't technically a colour, would have gone with white or black maybe, but that's just me).

I did not expect this to be my number 1. Actually, i was barely even looking forward to this episode. But it was a pleasant surprise.

And I was shooketh, considering my biggest complaint about the original show was that they left too many threads loose.

Jimmy and Sea were so good! Got me even more excited to see them in Last Twilight (in P'Aof we trust).

***

Now that that is over (and if you're reading this far) can we talk about how many birthday plots there were??? I feel like every other week there was a birthday. Just confused about it, that's all.

[kassandras-one-braincell]

hi!! i was wondering if you have any general advice for someone who wants to start posting their work on ao3? or i guess if you would advice me to do that at all lol! i saw your recent post about it in relation to the ai stuff and found it so useful since i don't usually see people talk about that, thank you for sharing <33

Hi love! Please don't let the current AI situation on AO3 dissuade you from joining the platform. In all honesty, I think the scrape was a cheap attempt at obtaining credentials for identity theft using the illegitimate DMCA forms, rather than something done for software training purposes. I'm pretty sure Cloudflare, its hosting platform, has taken action against it.

My humble advice is contained below the cut, because it's quite long, but there's a bit of a learning curve with the posting page and a couple of unspoken customs:

The bulk of everything you need to know about posting on AO3 is contained in the ToS, which hopefully will help you navigate the "post" menu. If you're unsure whether a warning applies, select "Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings" just in case.

There's no algorithm, so all that readers have to go by is the (excellent) tagging system and the summary you provide.

If you struggle with summaries - most of us do - then a snippet of the work is perfectly sufficient. Ultimately, the summary is a preview of your writing, and if you opt for the excerpt approach, your style, which is your only chance to attract readers.

Tagging is a little bit intimidating the first few times as a writer, but you'll get the hang of it soon enough! Asides from central characters and pairings, this is the place to disclose the genre of the work, any key/polarising themes and/or triggers. You're not obligated by ToS to disclose these, but it's a gesture of goodwill if you know it might upset someone. If there is a disturbing theme present, include the tag "Dead Dove Do Not Eat" - this is the colloquial indicator for the reader to very carefully reread the tags, because they're to be taken literally.

When you begin to type a tag, you'll be given suggestions of the most widely used tags that match what you've typed. If the shoe fits, use these. It makes the site easier to navigate for readers. If you're spawning a tag into existence though, it will begin to appear in that little drop down after there are three works on the archive containing the tag. I know this because I was the first (and second, third and fourth lmao send help) person to upload "Soma (Assassin's Creed)/Reader" to AO3 :)

You have the option of uploading your work in the designated editor as Rich Text or HTML. The only significant difference between them is how page and paragraph breaks are formatted. If you're copy-pasting from a word processor, slap it in Rich Text, and then if you want to do anything fancy after that outside of the scope of the Rich Text editor, you'll be able to make adjustments in HTML.

While you can save a draft, the text editor is not designed to be a substitute for word processing software. There is no editing history or backup feature, so it's ill-advised to develop your work directly on the platform.

Finally, with all the technical stuff put to one side, try not to fret over metrics like hits and kudos. It's lovely to receive kudos and comments, but smaller numbers aren't indicative of your work in any way, shape or form. There are so many factors at play there, and sometimes just the time of publication can have a huge impact on reader engagement, precisely because there's no algorithm to bolster or suppress.

Take pride in your work, and keep the dopamine as isolated as possible from the thought of big numbers. I promise you, it will keep the passion alive for longer :)

New to Writeblr!

(updated)

Hi, I'm Bee! I'm 30, and I use he/they (ftm).

I'm new to writeblr but old to tumblr (think back to ye old "daddy david" type posts). I used to exclusively write (terrible) fanfiction but I've recently started writing solely original content.

I'm in the second draft of an 86k fantasy novel about a princess that becomes the villain for love. Once I finish the second draft I'm going to open up spots for ARC readers for final feedback. Then it's time to start querying agents! I'm both terrified and thrilled lol

***

I have a second novel that I'm 40k words into the first draft of that is about a werewolf that finds his mate and stalks her to ensure his wooing succeeds. It's told in second person, and is very reminiscent of 'The Perfect Girlfriend' by Karen Hamilton and 'You' by Caroline Kepnes, with a supernatural twist! I can't wait to be able to share more of this with you!

If you're interested in reading my work, I'm not yet published but I'm always looking for detailed feedback! So hit me up, and I'll send you some samples!

My third and fourth novels are in the works as well! The third, titled 'Dying on the First Date' is about a woman that is turned into a vampire against her will, and goes on a cross country rampage to kill her sire.

The fourth novel, titled 'We/Us/Ours', is about five kidnapped and murdered women coming together (Literally come together. As in, they're sewn together into a Frankestien-esque monster.) postmortem to solve their own murders and attempt to bring their killer to justice.

I want to jump into the deep end of writeblr!

If anything I've written here interests you, please interact with this post! I'm looking for friends and writing buddies! My askbox is open!

theories for chain of thorns

i had these posted on my gr from like december, im just posting them here

- lucie will now be an antagonist lets be honest we all know it. necromancers are NOT good people and thats the path lucie chose for herself by wanting to save jesse

- someone major will die idk who it is yet, but my instincts tell me its matthew or alistair. the second wouldnt make sense tho – if alistair dies, how would the carstairs line continue down to emma??? hopefully itll be tatiana that bitch

- jamie x daisy its inevitable guys, have you seen the snippets? im rooting for them theyre perfect

- thomas and alistair are NOT gonna end up together this was a gut feeling when i wrote it but as of jan 5 i have a legible reason as to why they would not be happy and its the next theory

- IM SCARED THOMAS IS GONNA DIE the “found family tree” says that thomas died TWO YEARS before barbara. i understand cassie has repeatedly stated that its been manipulated (she hinted that it was changed by the silent brothers) and isnt reliable. but isnt that disturbing?? esp considering theres at least part of it thats reliable, and thats the fact that alistair will 100% go on to marry a woman despite being gay. if alistair doesnt have kids, and cordelias children are all herondales, then the carstairs family would die out and emma would not be related to jem (even tho its been stated that they are related by blood). “oH bUt SoNa iS pReGnAnT mAyBe ShEs GoNnA GiVe BiRtH tO a bOy” first of all, theres a chance the baby is born a girl second of all, the baby might die third of all, where is the son on the family tree? fourth of all, SONA IS, ACCORDING TO THE TREE, DEAD BEFORE THOMAS. PLEASE.

- grace x christopher i despise grace but she acts like a different person around kit… maybe he can fix her

- anna x ariadne she cant fuck up ALL the gay relationships, now can she?

- the merry thieves are gonna forgive alistair (specifically matthew) bro he literally made out with one of them TWICE. if matthew doesnt think “well shits gonna get awkward if i dont forgive the sorry bastard” istg~ 💀

- this is more of a hope than a theory MATTHEW FAIRCHILD SHALL ACHIEVE THE HAPPINESS HE DESERVES smth tells me he wont get a happy ending tho… i mean, if my above theory abt thomas is correct~

- SO DOES ALISTAIR I MEAN CMON GUYS #justiceforalistair he regrets the shit hes pulled and therefore your hate against him for it is invalid PLUS HE GOT BULLIED BY RACIST PIECES OF SHIT HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO MAKE IT STOP

- matthew will open up abt his secret its like a routine at this point, in every shadowhunters series. a character has a secret that nearly kills them outta despair, they open up to friends, theyre met with love and support. jace loving his “sister”. wills “curse”. emma and jules’ relationship. ty bringing back livvy. alec being gay. you get used to it lol

- either lucie or matthew would have their marks stripped lucie for attempting/committing necromancy, and matthew because sobh said he doesnt have a specified death date (also i think cassie just hates him)

- jesse will be evil bro wouldnt that be cruel… like imagine after lucie brings him back hes like “haha i manipulated you to bring me back i never loved you” and then sHe GETS HER RUNES STRIPPED FOR NECROMANCY and its worse bc the shadowhunters are already out to get the herondales bc they refuse to accept tessa as anything but a warlock no but in that case she would prolly go to live with wills parents OKAY BUT IMAGINE HOW HEARTBROKEN CHARLOTTE WOULD BE WHILE DOING IT WHILE JAMIE IS CRYING AND MATTHEW SCREAMING AT HER NOT TO AND WILL TELLS HIM TO STOP WHILE TEARS ARE GOING DOWN HIS FACE

- a “seven husbands of evelyn hugo” thing with anna x ariadne and thomas x alistair (credit to my good friend wiz/nisha for saying this) maybe cassie is going to have thomas marry ariadne and anna marry alistair so that they could have a good old switcheroo, so they can swap lovers?? obviously it cant be anna and thomas lmao theyre cousins but thomas and ARIADNE…

- matthew and cordelia ARE going to kiss at one point HOL’ UP I DONT SHIP EM, i think its gonna be a climon kinda thing where they kiss and dont like it as much as they thought they would, and end up deciding to stay friends i think thats the best way cassie could deal with matthews crush on her without breaking anyones heart, i hope to god it wont be like him confessing and her rejecting him plz oml

raxis has now decided to just name the person he has been harassing and block evading, fantasyinvader, and claims it's because you "Edelcritics" already mentioned him so he doesn't need to pretend anymore

Lmao, really? Of course he is. I know I said I was done with the guy until he went and harassed again and he's back at it literally not even two days later.

It is extremely telling that his takeaway from being told "hey, that person you've been screenshotting and reposting explicitly has you blocked, has had you blocked for months, you could not have possibly missed that you are blocked, and you are engaging in unwelcome and harassing behavior by continuing to do this. You're too old to not know what boundaries are so could you please respect some." was not "oh damn, maybe I went too far."

No his takeaway was "oh, good, someone else mentioned their name so now I can amp up my harassment further by explicitly name dropping him! I'm not responsible for anything because Vee is the one who revealed their identity, not me!" (Ignore the fact that he was encouraging people to go find FantasyInvader before he name dropped him, he was just being slightly less explicit about where to find him). He took me calling him out for his harassment as an invitation for further harassment. Like, honestly I don't even know what to say that could make the problems with his behavior any more clear.

Lemme spell this out clearly: MFer, I name dropped FantasyInvader so people would know how explicitly unwelcome your continued interaction with him was, not so you could gleefully abdicate your conscience and responsibilities for your own actions onto me. The difference between me saying his name and you saying his name is that I am attempting to act as an ally to someone you have been harassing relentlessly, and you are amping up harassment you already got the ball rolling on.

Also, inb4 raxy accuses me of harassing or being a hypocrite with this: I haven't even checked his blog since Saturday night, which I only did to see if he actually blocked me (and at that point I was still not blocked, by the way). Anyway, I'm very sorry that you're so horribly inconvenienced by me asking you for the fourth fucking time to respect other people's boundaries by not screencapping their posts and sending harassment their way just because you don't like their opinions about Edelgard von Fire Emblem. I would have stopped talking about you entirely if you'd just listened on the first attempt. I'm not sure why you think block evading to harass people over a video game character is the same as me explicitly calling out your actual behavior that actually constitutes harassment and is actually extremely harmful to actual real people.

Anyway, again, don't send harassment to his inbox. Keep all criticisms to his abhorrent behavior (or explaining how tag functions work, good lord I still can't believe he's trying to pass off a search function as a shadowy cabal of evil Edelhaters), please and thanks.

I uh. It's December. You may or may not have noticed.

I did Nanowrimo, spent my "creative projects half hour" slot on that, and completely forgot about posting my fourth year of daily drawings for October. Nevertheless, into my my art tag it goes.

In a fit of petty first world anarchism, I did Inktober's prompts, but digitally.

This year's been busy, so I tried to stick to my half an hour per day drawing time slot. (I say, gritting my teeth, forehead vein bulging as I look at the parts I don't like.)

I am forcing myself to acknowledge that the past year—with its approximately 130 hours of drawing practice—has resulted in some improvements to line control, anatomy, and perspective, but I'm definitely also reaching the point where several of these feel too embarrassing to post.

In fact I only picked nine, instead of the ten I did the last few years.

Please read some of the captions because at least I do think I'm funny.

Dreams was an auspicious start. I like this Bakugirl.

Fortune... exists. I should've been a little bolder with the fairy actually like, interacting with the dragon woman's palm, really being present there, instead of just sort of posed on top. I also should've made the table smaller, dragoness is supposed to be huge.

I immediately decided I was doing some kind of pair for Angel and Demon. Please ignore that the actual prompt was not Devil. It's close enough right? If I had more time and ambition the devil girl's net was going to be made of serpents. I did not really capture her "shouting" expression the way I wanted, but now that I'm looking it's not execrable. Angel's dreads are definitely more half hearted than I wanted. This one did at least convince me that my next batches of studies need to be of clothed figures.

Rise got my favorite concept for the whole month. Cause it's bread. Get it? eh? Please enjoy our little alchemist workshopping her lines for introducing her magnum opus. Tried to lean into cartoonish with her face.

I spent a solid 10 minutes trying to decide what to do for Dagger, and then all of a sudden it was like a voice spoke to me: "Do fan art of one of your favorite games of all time." I wish the Final Fantasy series hadn't abandoned that more stylized, cartoonish vibe. You know, one of the most interesting things about drawing is realizing that I am 100% looking at things that I have previously—apparently!—only kind of glanced at. Like I would not, before drawing this, have described Garnet as having, to be frank, a prodigious bosom, significant badonkerage, or ginormous dobonhonkeros. To be frank. And a really low cut top to boot. But here we are. I like this face. Wish I'd chosen a more dynamic pose.

For Shallow I decided to do a little snippet of something from one of my stories (coincidentally one related to what I was working on in November). The anatomy is a bit iffy. And even though she's literally supposed to have been buried in a shallow hole in the woods, I had to add a gravestone because I wasn't confident how well that showed.

Rush is another one where I was not at all sure what I was going to do until the brain noise intruded, "Firetrucks are red because red's the color of communism and they're always Russian[Rushin'] around." What was I thinking with that background?

Hilariously, I didn't notice the final prompt of Inktober and how well Fire went with my spontaneous choice for the previous day. It's only now that I'm posting that I realized during export I must have turned off the "background" layer that shows a(n attempt at a) continuation of the previous background. I recall being really frustrated trying to get the foreshortening right on this mischievous fire-ninja jill-o-lantern's arms, but it doesn't look so awful now.

It's fascinating feeling myself more fully move into the phase of learning where I can tell that I'm on the cusp of drawing this or that noticeably better, I just have to push, put a bit more time into individual pieces. And of course, practice.

Next I think I'll aim for at least four and up to twelve studies of clothed figures. Might stop to try and find some good hints on drawing a good fire, or something that suggests dirt.

But I also have some writing to do. I got engaged in my Nanowrimo project. I'm finishing something else up that a friend and I have worked on in bits for years. Of course, what I'd really like is to do some writing and drawing practice every day. It hasn't happened yet, but then again, between picking up drawing supplies and actually starting to practice daily, "It hasn't happened yet" was the case for years.

Until it wasn't.

My Legal Battle with my Family and their Co-horts / Co-conspirators (118):

As I mentioned in Post #3 of this blog, I hadn’t heard from Barry Creasman for eight (8) years, from October 2005 to April 2013.  Well as he was present the night Creighton Hussey physically assaulted in my Atlantic Station apartment on October 19th, 2013 and Barry and I had dinner a few nights after I was physically attacked, after my arrest (spawned by Creighton Hussey’s fraudulent-statements based restraining order) I sent Barry Creasman a letter via Certified Mail asking him to please write an affidavit stating that it was Creighton Hussey who had attacked me.  Well, as you can see here in the the top picture attached, Barry Creasman received and signed for the Certified Mail I sent him.  However, he didn’t reply.  I mean, I thought he was supposed to be my friend right.  Well, apparently he wasn’t / isn’t a real friend.  The second picture is just of the return ceritified mail receipt signed by Barry Creasman. 

Now the third (3rd) picture attached is of an an Interrogatory I sent my parents, Leonard and Gloria Sumter.  Well, when I was in prison from 2008 to 2013 my mother, as she states “had a blog and an email list” where she would communicate with a bunch of people I knew prior to going to prison.  When in prison from 2008-2013, she sent me a copy of this address list.  So in my interrogatory I got my mother, Gloria Sumter, to admit to this address list in her sworn answer.  (The third picture)

The fourth (4th) is a  copy of the first (1st) page of this address list.  I have redacted several of the names but you can see at the very top right is Barry Creasman’s name and his address in Smyrna.  The last time I spoke to Barry, like I said, was in October 2005 and he still lived in Marrieta.  I had no idea he had moved to Smyrna.  Keep in mind that none of the people on my mother’s address list ever wrote me letters while I was in prison from 2008-2013.  And like I said at the beginning of this blog, Barry Creasman had ended his friendship with me in October 2005.  Out of respect for his wishes, I never attempted to contact him after that.  So it’s strange, that he would contact my mother and ask to be added to her “email list or blog.”  And, after he was all gung-ho about starting our friendship again, literally two (2) days after Creighton Hussey left my house from his first (1st) visit to Atlanta to see me, it’s a little “conincidental” and I think further evidences his role in this conspiracy.  As a matter of fact, the fact that he wouldn’t provide me with an affidavit as I asked in this letter via certified mail, that shows reciprocity or at least his efforts to further the conspiracy by protecting Creighton Hussey from prosecution and also to prevent me from getting out of prison by proving Creighton Hussey’s restraining order to be perjurious.  And remember, these people believed I was going to commit suicide by being reincarcerated from 2015-2018.  So it’s not really “coincidental” but rather, calculated.

Happy Birthday Hyungwon (Chae Hyungwon drabble)

A/N: Aha I need to get out of this writing funk 😕 I’ve been so stressed with school it’s driving me wild. I’m like 80+ years late for his birthday (when can I ever post when I say I do? That wouldn’t be a me move) but it’s posted regardless. I swear Changkyun’s will be posted (hopefully) on his actual birthday. I also hate how it’s so short. Like I really went all out on Minhyuk’s and Kihyun’s birthday then there’s Hyungwon. Literally my second favorite member but we won’t speak about it. I also hate how this ended tbh I might re-write it.

Upon his early arrival home, Hyungwon attempts to help his girlfriend bake his birthday cake. The introductions never said to dump flower over each other and eat the batter, however.

Warnings: None

Word Count: 0.8k

Masterlist

E/C eyes focused solely on one thing, and that one thing was getting the perfect measurement. Her lip was caught easily between her lips as her focus was solely on that simple thing. The soft music that played lowly in the background now forgotten as she attempted what was to assume to be her fourth measurement.

Happiness shot through her when she noticed it was just about perfect.

Smiling to herself she repeated the process one more time just as the instructions told her to. She was undoubtedly nervous about what her boyfriend would think upon his return home. In truth, she was never all too good at cooking. Especially when it came down to sweets. Asking his bandmate would defeat the whole purpose of this birthday surprise. So she attacked the challenge alone.

“Y/N? I’m home.” The sound of Hyungwon’s voice traveled throughout the apartment and into her ears. Slightly cursing to herself as panic filled her blood, she licked her fingers turning towards the direction of her lover's voice.

The simple question was: Why was he home so early?

Her eyes flicked from the bowel on the counter to the kitchen door. There was no doubt he was making his way to where she was. The silence that came from here wasn’t the dead giveaway. It was simply the light and the soft melody of the music.

“I was calling you.” Hyungwon laughed as he rounded the corner. His smile was wide. It always was when he saw her. The moment their gaze met his brow tugged upward in question. “What’s this?”

Upon hearing his question, she groaned out. Shoulders falling slack in defeat.

“It was going to be one of your birthays presents,” She frowned, turning her attention back to the abandoned bowl. “But you came home early and ruined it.”

His chuckle was heard easily over the soft music. He was closer, she noted. If his close sounding chuckle wasn’t the dead giveaway. It was the way he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her body closer to his own.

“I’m sorry love,” His words were mumbled as his lips pressed soft kisses to the back of her head. Upon feeling his lips against her head, the frown that laid soft on her face slowly etched into a smile. “How about I help?”

His proposal seemed rather nice. But his “help” often led to a disaster. On her own she could manage. She wasn’t good by all means, but she also wasn’t Hyungwon bad either.

“I…”

She started, unsure whether or not to simply decline on his offer to join. His whine however cut off her train of thought.

“It’s my birthday. Please?”

She turned in his arms, a fake pout evident on his beautiful face. Of course, he pulled the birthday card. The card that ultimately had her admit defeat.

“Ok, fine. But you’re helping Chae Hyungwon! And no fooling around.”

It was only ten minutes in had she regretted her decision. It was the fastest she had regretted agreeing to do something since she had started dating Hyungwon but her regret was justified. She had turned her attention away for only a mere moment hoping that he could take care of mixing the batter together while she focused her attention elsewhere when she flinched, the sudden feeling of the white powder clinging to anything and everything it could.

Did he really just…?

“Hyungwon…” She let out slowly. Her eyes flicked between the small cup held firmly within his hand to the growing smile that he tried so hard to contain. “What did I say?”

Her question was ignored in favor of laughing. His laughter filled up the kitchen with ease, easily overtaking the music that was playing. She huffed, grabbing some flour and tossing it at him in return. His eyes quickly flashed with different types of emotions. First confusion, then shock, and lastly happiness.

“It’s on!”

It was her turn to join in on the laughter. It was no surprise they both attempted to reach for the once forgotten bag of flour. Ultimately the winner being her lover who was just a bit stronger than her.

It didn’t take long for the kitchen to fall victim to a floury mess. Each second the couple yelled nonsense amongst each other with bouts of laughter to follow behind.

“Ok, ok!” She cried after a minute. Her hands were held in surrendering as she rounded the corner to face him. If they continued on anymore their whole apartment would be a mess. “You win.”

“The winner gets a kiss then. And we get to eat the batter together.”

She smiled, happy with the terms given.

“Alright, I can work with that.” One giant step had her arms wrapping around his neck, their lips meeting with a quick peck. “Happy Birthday Woonie.”
