some polyaround to celebrate maho not being against tumblr's guidelines or whatever now! :D

[fallen-lucifiel]

Do you still ship rinrei?

YESSSS YESSSSSS I TOTALLY DO 😭😭

I STILL CRY ABOUT THEM AS HARD AS I DID A DECADE AGO... I cried about them yesterday and today

Everytime I find a new OTP, I'd be screaming THEY ARE SO RINREI-CODED and nobody understands... I have to get into a quick RinRei 101 and scare off new friends

Just yesterday I told some moots that Buddie (my ship from the TV series 9-1-1) is so RinRei-coded. I had to hold back from screaming about their similarities so much 😭

Watch me make a crossover at some point 🥴

As promised, here's a RinRei ficlet (also on AO3)!

That's What I Love About You

“What the heck do you even like about me, anyway?!”

It had come up during one of their silly little arguments, but for some reason, it had stuck with Rei.  It kept popping into his head while he tried to focus on homework.

It bothered him, he realized.

Not because he didn’t have an answer, of course.  He had myriad answers, too many to easily articulate.

No, what bothered him about it was the fact that Rin apparently didn’t know any of those answers.

After an hour or so of struggling to finish his homework with that knowledge popping into his head over and over, Rei switched gears.  He set his schoolwork aside, grabbed a blank sheet of paper, and began writing with intensity.

The next day…

“Rin-san.”

Rei frowned when Rin rolled his eyes before sighing and approaching him.

“Look, I’m sorry, okay?” Rin began.  Despite the dismissiveness of his words, his tone was sincere.  “I’ve just been really stressed lately, and I took that out on you.  I shouldn’t have yelled at you, and I shouldn’t have said what I said.  I’m sorry, Rei.”

Rei raised a hand and shook his head.  “It’s all right, Rin-san.  I understand.  That’s not what I wanted to talk about.”

“Oh?”

“I wanted to respond properly to your question.”

Now Rin looked confused.  Rei sighed, pulled a folded sheet of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and cleared his throat.

“These are not listed in order of importance.  Number one:  Your perseverance and tenacity are incredibly admirable.  Number two:  Your ability to set goals and find a way to achieve them is exceptional.  Number three:  You are physically quite attractive.  Number four:  You—”

“What the heck are you doing?”

Rei’s brow furrowed.  “I’m outlining the things I like about you.”

“Huh?”

Rei was incredulous.  What was so confusing about this?

“Yesterday, you asked me what I ‘even liked about you, anyway,’” he explained, trying to speak slowly and clearly so Rin would better understand.  “So, I made a list of things I like about you, and now I’m reading it to you.”  He cleared his throat once more.  “Number four:  You—”

He stopped again when Rin burst out laughing.  Feeling defensive, now, Rei folded his arms across his chest and frowned.  He waited while Rin laughed heartily for a few minutes.  Once Rin quieted, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes, Rei gave him a pointed look.

“I fail to see what’s so funny.”

“Oh, Rei.”

Rin threw his arms around him in a tight hug.  He held it for a few minutes; Rei felt himself relaxing in the embrace and uncrossed his arms as he leaned into it.  Rin finally pulled back, smiling [warmly].

“We were having a silly argument,” Rin said, shaking his head.  “People just say stuff when they’re arguing.  They don’t always mean any of it.”

“Well, that’s incredibly illogical,” Rei quipped, frowning.

“Like I keep telling you, you dork:  love isn’t logical.  And that’s what’s great about it.”

“So…you do know what I like about you, and I didn’t need to write a list of reasons to explain it to you?”

Rin took Rei’s face in his hands and pressed a kiss to his lips.  Rei closed his eyes, leaning into the kiss.  His grip on the piece of paper loosened; he faintly heard it flutter to the ground at his feet.

The kiss was both fleeting and timeless—another illogical contradiction Rei unconsciously noted.  Before he knew it, the kiss ended, and he was staring into Rin’s mulberry-colored eyes.

“Of course I know what you like about me,” the redhead assured him.  “You gave me the whole spiel when we started dating, remember?”

Rei did remember.  Rin had laughed that time, too, once he’d realized that Rei was trying to ask him out, as the colloquialism went.  He nodded to show his understanding.

“But that doesn’t mean I don’t like hearing how awesome I am from time to time.”

“Rin-san!”  Rei playfully slapped Rin’s shoulder.

“Besides, that fiercely, ridiculously logical part of you is one of the things I love about you, Speedo-Megane.”

Rei felt his cheeks grow hot as he unconsciously analyzed Rin’s words in his head.

“Did you say ‘love’?” he asked breathlessly.

“You bet I did.”  Rin crouched down for a moment and rose again holding the piece of paper Rin had dropped.  “Now, what was that part about me being ‘physically quite attractive’?”

“Rin-san!  That’s private!”  Rei tried to grab the list from Rin, who snatched it away quickly.

“Not that private—you were reading it to me, after all.”

“Rin-san!”  Rei’s cheeks grew warmer as embarrassment replaced the affection he’d felt previously.  He tried to pluck the list from Rin’s hand, but the latter flicked it just out of reach.

“Ooooo, you drew pictures!”

“R-Rin-san!”  Again, he tried to retrieve the page, and again, he was unsuccessful.

This was going to be a long, embarrassing evening.  And Rei was all for it.

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Tagged by @kiaxet

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

210, but about 110 of those have been copied over from my old FFN account (almost all of the One Piece fics, basically).

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

709,457

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently I'm mostly only writing for Rise of the TMNT, but I have written a lot for One Piece and Free!, as well as Twisted Wonderland, Persona 5, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, FFXV, KnB, and others.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. I May Be Invisible, But I Still Look Good (ROTTMNT) 2. Tight Fit (FFXV) 3. Tapping Out (ROTTMNT) 4. Lab Accident (ROTTMNT) 5. Things Overheard (Hiding Under the Bed of the King of Athens) (Hades)

5. Do you respond to comments?

No |'D I don't know why but it just gives me anxiety so I don't. I do appreciate the comments, I'm just bad at responding. I'm sorry!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably this old fic where Sanji just dies in the end, but I think I have fics that are angstier in the middle even if they end better. For something that's not just the character dying, probably Herbal Tea (ROTTMNT), or maybe Failures and Heroes (You and Me) (ROTTMNT)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics have happy endings so this is hard! Probably a tie between Tight Fit and IMBI, since those have their central characters going through pure hell but getting all kinds of love in the end (including romantic love in Prompto's case).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Once. This is the hazard of writing AkeShu (P5) lmao.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY I sure do. I write all kinds of smut, including a few gross kinks most people put in their hard nos. If you're poking around in my full fic list proceed with caution. Lately since I've been writing so much ROTTMNT I haven't been writing smut, though, since I'm more into the canon for the fluff and family feels. The last smut fic I wrote was The Appearance of Impropriety (FE3H), which is a Dimitri/Edelgard/Hubert threesome. And before that, it was a TWST AzuJami fic that, well, took advantage of Azul's octopus anatomy, if you get what I'm sayin'.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I haven't really written fandom crossovers since I was a teenager and tbh I don't remember much about them, I think they were more crackfics than anything serious. I have written several AUs that use other fandoms, though. Probably the weirdest one I've actually written is a Free! RinRei Dragon Age AU, where Rin is a templar and Rei is a mage (the forbidden love of it all). I also have waaaay too many ideas in my head for an ROTTMNT FFX AU where Mikey is a summoner.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I remember back in my FFN days I would occasionally search up my fics and find them c/ped to random clickbait sites, probably as a bot scrapping operation. But to my knowledge I've never actually had anyone take one of my fics and claim it as theirs. Even that bot reposting still had my username attached lol

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yep! The fabulous @e-turn has translated several of my ROTTMNT fics into Russian! I've had other requests before, too, but I'm not sure how far those went. If anyone does want to translate my works, feel free! Just be sure you're crediting me, and if it's going on AO3 be sure to link the original!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have done some co-writing and some fic round robin events but none of them ever got to the point where they actually got published, because someone would flake out or we would just lose steam. I might be up for it, if it were a project we were both really invested in, but I'd probably have to be friends with the co-writer first.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

MMM this is hard... probably RinRei from Free! I've never felt quite as intensely about a ship as I did that one.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hold On To Me (KnB); I love it but I am so far out of KnB fandom at this point haha.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Character voice, I think; it's what I usually get compliments on and what I feel the best writing. In a way, fanfiction (and fandom RP) has really helped me think about characterization. Something I was certainly guilty of in my younger days (and that a lot of amateur writers are guilty of) was having my characters act as vehicles for plot, doing or saying whatever I needed them to in the moment to move the plot where it needed to go. This meant none of my characters had any kind of consistent characterization and all of them were samey. We joke about "he wouldn't fucking say that," but in a funny way this kind of thinking really got me to think about characterization and character agency. Before I would say, "we need to get from point A to point B, so let's do that." After trying to get into the groove of writing already strongly characterized characters, and please an audience with certain expectations, I found myself thinking really hard about what would motivate a character from point A to point B, and if the circumstances I'd set up weren't enough to cause that, I'd need to tweak them, or better yet, explore what I think the character WOULD actually do in that scenario (which may be more fun anyway). This is a skill I think fanfiction is great for helping new writers develop.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I wish I had stronger word choice at times, and had stronger imagery. I'll read lines in other people's work that just blow me away haha. I could never write so poetically, I think.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

If you are good at a language, or have someone fluent helping you out, then go for it. There's no reason any work needs to be written in only one language. I'm not a purist on this. That said I also think writing "he said in Spanish" or something like that is fine. If it serves your purposes better for your fic to all be in one language, or you aren't confident enough to write in a different language, then you can just make it clear to your audience that a different language is being spoken now. Especially because I come from a lot of anime fandoms, I'm used to there being a sort of unspoken understanding that the characters are not speaking English and what we're getting is just the English approximation/localization of what they're saying. So this doesn't bother me. And of course, throwing in random Japanese exclamations in an otherwise English language fic always comes off a bit campy. I do think it's fine for things like terms of address and nicknames, though. I've never really gotten the hubbub over not having honorifics like "-san" or "-chan" in fics because the same people who usually hate that are also fine with "Señor" or "Mademoiselle" in writing and, like, what's the difference? Idk if any of what I said answers the question. My thoughts are that it's variable, ig.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Technically it was for the book Alas, Babylon, and it was a class assignment in 9th grade English.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Ah this is hard... IMBI is my longest fic and I'm really proud of how it turned out, but I think I'll always have a soft spot for I Keep on Hopin' (We'll Eat Cake by the Ocean) (TWST) - warning that this fic is NSFW and has explicit smut.

Idk who to tag. @aria-faye @unpredictable-probabilities @daboyau ? Anyone else who wants to do it feel free!

Sano trio for the ask game please?? 👀✨

YAYY!!! my boys<3<3<3

rin:

1: sexuality headcanon gay gay homosexual gay gay. also, i learned about what transgender was due to some trans rin headcanons/fanfics/meta i read during the height of the fandom, so trans man rin is also something that's been in the back of my mind 2: otp sourin >>>>> permanently changed my brain chemistry and ideal of relationship; rinrei is so much funnn i swear; and ofc sano trio as a whole!! 3: brotp rin & haru--while i don't think of them romantically, their relationship is the cornerstone of the whole story and i love how they're always pushing each other to go further rin & nagisa--such an underrated relationship but in the original book rin teaches nagisa to swim and nagisa from then on really looked up to rin as an older mentor. i love them because they're so unexpected as a friendship, but they really have a deep bond that i wish was more present in the show (besides a few "rin-rin!") rin & makoto--SUCH an important relationship for both of them!!!!! they're the real complements of each other, i think, rin is fiery and passionate and sharp and makoto is grounded and doting and UGHHHH 4: notp when i was younger i'd say rin x haru, less due to the actual relationship and more due to the way SOME fans treated me at the tender age of like 13.... i don't dislike them enough to say they're my notp, but i guess yeah, they're my notp 5: first headcanon that pops into my head he's a thirty seconds to mars stan (bc of that one shirt he wore that looked like the 30stm triangle...) fuck jared leto and everything but i think rin learned english partially through music. he's also a swiftie 6: favorite line from this character oh god.... "PERFECT BODY" 7: one way in which I relate to this character every way he's my blorbo whom i project onto ever since i was in middle school . um. who said that i think i really connected to both his emotional crybaby ways (i cry at conflict), his hopeless romantic nature, and his insecurities, feeling like you're meant to do something but you hit a wall and just.,. can't. 8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character his fashion.......i'm sorry but........ i cannot defend you ....... 9. cinnamon roll or problematic fave? LOL depends on who you ask! he's a cinnamon roll who looks like he can kill you

sousuke:

1: sexuality headcanon: also gay but at the same time, i don't think he really cares much for romance outside of his immediate partner, you know? so i guess somewhere on the demi spectrum 2: otp sourin, again, and soukisu, and basically the whole sano trio. oooh special mentions to soumako and souharu, for no real canon reason aside from them having some really good fan artists and writers 3: brotp sousuke & nitori & momo; he's a good mentor to them, and they have so much respect for him (while knowing how to have fun). sousuke & gou--after rin left for australia, i imagine him and gou spending more time together. bonding over rin lol there was that scene where he gave her his jacket during the water gun fight that always gets me 4: notp hmm. don't really have one? maybe sousuke x gou? i really can't think of him viewing her as anything other than his sister 5: first headcanon that pops into my head that he likes opera, and this is ENTIRELY due to an old fic @testosterogna wrote that i read back in my youth and i SOMEHOW actually forgot i read it in a fic and thought it was canon. 6: favorite line from this character "because i knew you would cry" (ಥ﹏ಥ) 7: one way in which I relate to this character we're both stoic and monotone and come across as aloof/cold. he probably has a touch of the 'tism like haruka does. oh and i'm terrible at directions kajsdhaskljdh 8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character when he found haru and backed him into the wall like "don't u DARE hurt my man again >:(" and haru was like :| you dUMBASS WHY DID YOU HIDE YOUR STUPID INJURY ??? DO NOT DESTROY YOUR CAREER FOR LOVE!!!! IDIOT (ಥ﹏ಥ) 9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? looks like he could kill you, doesn't care enough to try

kisumi

1: sexuality headcanon this is one i'm actually 10000% assured of, unlike the other two above where i was just like 'yeah probably' this is something i actually dedicated a LOT of time to thinking about and even starting a fic years ago: he's asexual. i don't remember WHAT i read all those years ago, but i found some asexual kismui hcs and it just clicked. i can't imagine him any other way. i think he's also demi or grayromantic; his 'relationships' are closer to QPR than, i suppose, traditional 'romance.' he's sex-favorable to neutral, but it's not something he really craves and he doesn't feel sexual attraction. he's still a massive flirt and a gossip and loves to know about/mess with his friends' love lives 2: otp sano trio!!! asakisu too, and hiyokisu could be fun. 3: brotp kisumi & makoto. "JOIN THE BASKETBALL CLUB!!!!!!" 4: notp kisumi x most people 5: first headcanon that pops into my head well, the first one is that he's ace, the second is that he's a plant lover, which is less headcanon than it is me extrapolating from some official art 6: favorite line from this character probably everything he says to haru. OHH and when he casually is like "oooh sousuke didn't tell you about his super plot-relevant secret? oooh too bad. anyway i'm out!" 7: one way in which I relate to this character me having ace kisumi was 100% me projecting when i was younger and ID as asexual, but i relate to the love/protectiveness he feels over his younger brother 8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character the way he tried to get everyone to join his basketball team </3 baby you're in the wrong anime you missed the casting calls for kuroko i'm sorry 9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? sinnamon roll :3

character ask game

RinRei angst in the year 2024 🫡

[myriahkamm]

@preusterreich tagged me in a "post your wip" thing because they're sneaky and they know I'm actually writing for once lol. Here's a very tiny snippet of the little RinRei ficlet I'm working on (because I'm on my phone right now and I'm terrible at typing on my phone):

"What the heck do you even like about me, anyway?!"

It had come up during one of their silly little arguments, but for some reason, it had stuck with Rei. It kept popping into his head while he tried to focus on homework.

It bothered him, he realized.

Not because he didn't have an answer, of course. He had myriad answers, too many to easily articulate.

No, what bothered him about it was the fact that Rin apparently didn't know any of those answers.

After an hour of struggling to finish his homework with that knowledge popping into his head over and over, Rei switched gears. He set his schoolwork aside, grabbed a blank sheet of paper, and began writing with intense focus.

That's all for now! Hope my very rusty writing lives up to y'all's expectations. 😅

Hoping to have the fully edited ficlet both here and on AO3 by Saturday this weekend. So if you like this much so far, be on the lookout for that!!

[dotdumbdog]

I think I should make a pin post to introduce myself. I'm still new to Tumblr so there are a lot of things I still don't quite understand how to use.

- You can call me Dot. Or whatever name you want to call me.

- Trans demiboy 🏳️‍⚧️ - He/They/It - 25 years old

- I do art for fun. I love to draw gay people, intersex and trans people.

I draw poly ship and open relationship too. Or draw some stupid thing

- I do not accept racist or homophobic, transphobic...

- Does not support harassing others for fictional content. No matter what you say, harassment is wrong, two wrongs don't make you right. Cyperbullying is wrong.

- I don't believe in "blackwashing" lol, creators can do whatever they like freely as long as it doesn't harm anyone.

- This blog will probably post nsfw sometime but not much, and most of it will cover or be light. At 16+ I think? I will limit posting it or else I will link to another place like my Twitter side. Go my twitter you you want to talk with me!

So I will not receive you if you are under 18 years old.

- Like Enstars and post art in here for now on.

My bias is Mao, Natsume, Madara, Nazuna, Chiaki

I really love old 2B and 3B class, BB Band, Dramatica, 5 Oddballs, 3A trio

My big OTP is MaoNatsu (I call is MaoNat for short), NaruLeo, MadaRei, ChiaIzu

Other ship I like is RinHime, YuzuIba, WataRei, ChiaKana, MaoRei, MaoIzu, RinRei, RitNatsu, LeoNatsu and so many other ship

I like bottom!Rei, bottom!Natsume and top!Mao, top!Madara
