#see my crying in the tags of their posts lol

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

watching white people being confused and shocked that we notice their habit of being the problem then crying about it when a black person dares to say they’re being racist in the tags of your post is cracking me up because like that’s yalls go to move? an intentional behavior every black person has experienced and you (collective, not personally) are surprised it’s a thing? i learned this concept as a literal child when i would get in trouble because i told a white girl to stop touching my hair and she cried so i needed to be cooler about being touched without my consent and my experiences are not unique lol

the thing is that there are so, so many white people who ideologically disagree with institutional racism and recognize that it's Bad but have done very little to check the more subtle forms of white supremacy that permeate our lives, and if you try to point out to this flavor of white person how much work the average POC is doing to anticipate and coddle their ignorance to avoid making a scene they will freak the fuck out.

and if I may @ my fellow white queers in particular, I think it's especially asinine to see many of us fall into this behavior when many of us have very similar experiences managing our queerness to put others at ease.

Fic Stats game!

Thanks for coaxing me out from under my rock @temple-mistress, if only temporarily❤️

I may not be a prolific enough writer for this game, but I’ll give it a go.

rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

most hits: Adrift & Entangled (85,483 hits). My first ever stab at writing fanfic, first chapters published in 2019. This story is so very, very dear to me, as it has literally been my refuge through the hardest years of my life. Chapter 27 was posted last March, and I am still chipping away at the epilogue. I will never abandon this story, but I am slower and more scattered than I have ever been. If you’ve enjoyed this story so far, please don’t give up on me. You don’t see me around, but my heart hasn’t left the fandom.

After the Hardeen operation, emotions are raw. But before anything can be fully sorted out, the boys are sent to Christophsis for their next mission. Things don’t go as planned, and they find themselves alone in an unknown system with no hyperspace capabilities and no effective means of communication.

2nd most kudos: A Plea from the Lost to the Found (561 kudos). Started prior to OBK series, completed nearly a year later. Brought to you by the world’s slowest fanfic writer. Wanted to explore how Ben would have handled a regretful Anakin showing up at his Tatooine abode (before we learned he lived in a goddamn CAVE for 10 years, good lord).

Two knocks.

Both inexplicably timid, but sharp against the silence. Enough to make Ben feel dislodged from his own being. Disoriented in his own home.

Darth Vader had come for him, and yet…

The Force said Do not fear.

3rd most comments: Lullaby (77 comment threads). Very short piece that apparently made everyone cry lol.

“Do you have a favorite memory?” Even softly spoken, Anakin’s words seem jarring in this dark, cramped air pocket.

[In which the Force takes our heroes as they always thought (hoped) they would go: together. Also, Anakin sings.]

4th most bookmarks: Out of Place (19 bookmarks). I starting writing this because I needed to laugh. Only one chapter written here, but I’m SO NOT DONE WITH THIS IDEA. I really wanted to explore the comedic potential of an in-universe Obi-Wan Kenobi meeting up with an out-of-universe Anakin Skywalker. I had so much fun writing that first chapter, and I loved stretching my creative muscles to develop this setting.

A crack au in which Jedi-Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has managed to get himself pulled from hyperspace and yeeted into an entirely different galaxy. He crash-lands on planet Earth and is taken in by Anakin Skywalker, an airplane mechanic who’s made his home in the hangar of an old airstrip in southern Nevada.   

5th most words: Not applicable, only 4 fics to choose from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

fic with the fewest words:  Lullaby (1,412 words) See above.

I’m sorry, I don’t know who’s already done this... Tagging... anyone who stumbles upon this and wants to have a go 😊

What is your favourite depiction of romance (or sex if you prefer) that you have produced? Or if you haven't produced one yet, then what is your favourite example from another creator?

Yes! This is the ask I was especially hoping to get! Thank you! ~♥

[Assume all links in this first paragraph are 18+] Aside from stuff that I haven't posted here, I still quite like this one which ticks both boxes, or at least ticks one and is extremely suggestive of the other. This one is also one that I still like and I plan to revisit the idea behind it later to fix some stuff and add it to the timeline when I get there. These two are also nice and sweet.

For my next trick I'm going to use this ask to shout out some other creators (because I was secretly hoping to get this ask to do just this lol)

From other Erenville x WoL creators, like p much all of what @deathflare posts makes me melt. I would also like to shout out @lilas @nabaath-areng @hotgirltavi @zeloinator

@shadowentei and @elizabethrobertajones for also having great Erenville x WoL ships and taste. ♥

For other non-Erenville related content; @hythlodaes and their lovely Emile and their beautiful and moving cinematic shots. @ahollowgrave also does stunning romantic shots and Odette is drop-dead gorgeous. Also @iron-sparrow whose Yein is the embodiment of love in all forms. Also also @oneiroy and @verysmallcyborg whose Ryss and Fornax are such a powerful couple and peak romance.

I absolutely missed people, but I hope that showcases at least a small handful of the other people out there doing beautiful romantic work as well. I am particularly fond of anything that is very sweet and soft.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @insomniaflarrow (my first tag in one of these!!! Thank you!!!)

Sharing another bit of Don hit Loki with a wrench cause I've been writing it so much and really like how it's coming along! Wanted to show a bit of Loki's perspective this time!

“It’s alright,” Loki waved his hands dismissively, “I deserved it.” Loki admitted, realizing how he had probably sounded. “It doesn’t look too bad.” Mobius grimaced, the hand that was on Loki’s shoulder now hovering near his injured cheek. Loki chuckled, easily detecting Mobius’ lie. “Yeah, alright.” He rolled his eyes, and then with a flick of his wrist, healed himself. He opened his mouth to adjust his jaw, checking that it was back in place, but quickly noticed the disbelief flash across Mobius’ face, followed by several other emotions that Loki could instantly name. It only took Loki a moment to realize why Mobius was so shocked. Because this was not his Mobius, therefore he did not know that Loki was the god of mischief. “Uh…” Was all that Loki could muster, once again finding himself speechless. It wasn’t often he didn’t know what to say.

I don't know many people who write fic, so here's a couple no-pressure tags: @distracteddream and @gloriouslokiuss! (Feel free to let me know if you'd like to be tagged in the next one!) And even if you aren't tagged, feel free to tag me in it anyway, I love seeing what people are writing!

"I adore you // love you too baby" YOU COOKED SO GOOD ACTUALLY, love the characterization details in ur works!!

HEY ANON LOL DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY??? DO YOU WANT TO SEE ME CRYING MY EYES OUT?!?!

but hm hi. 🤚 hello thank you for speaking about that hello hiiii 🤚 can I talk for a second about it pls 🤚

about endo never truly learning the idea of being lowkey about anything. about him being intense in every aspect of his life, about loving and being infatuated so deeply by everything he even dares to care about.

about how being in a secret relationship would hold him back so much. and he'd be pissed about it but he would understand it so well because he doesn't want to give up on fighting and also he doesn't want to give up on you. so it's whatever, he will try it. for the sake of having fun without hurting what you have, he will try it.

I wrote that part specifically by the idea of his s/o being aware of who the relationship is with. you gotta know that he adores the ground you walk, that he's obsessed with being around you, just like he's with other things, and that just means he loves you. its kinda fucked up. but when he says those stuff you can only hear "I love you" and honestly, takes a while to get used to it, but what else can you ask?

it's about the idea of helping him through it too, you know? constant reminder that when the infatuation is gone, there's still love. when the fights aren't fun or when shit happens, things get messy, there's still your love. :)

So I finished The Magnus Archives today... safe to say that I'm not doing great

[cryptii-co]

random art piece i finished a few days ago w/ me & AM<3

[iamfuckingsorry]

so i just spent like 4 hours writing the text to and recording a murderbot-themed song to the melody of jingle bell rock, because i've been forced to listen to jingle bell rock on repeat at work and my brain helpfully suggested that "jingle bell" and "murderbot" have the same amount syllables on like repeat number 3 and ever since my brain's just been going "murderbot, murderbot, murderbot rock"

(the lyrics are like /so/ bad for the amount of time i spent on this, it reads like a 15-min project, also i /can't/ sing, i was literally told to "stop intentionally singing this badly" in music class in school at one point, and it's recorded on my phone mic, on a phone that cost under $150 new)

but man i am so happy/excited about this and im legit thinking about like if i can learn how to 1. make videos with karaoke text in them, 2. fucking ANIMATE a short video with like simple chibi-like drawings (i can't draw either), (and also maybe 3. get some vocaloid-like voice program to sing this instead of me) in the next 48-ish hours to make a murderbot-themed video for christmas

I told no one of it, it shall forever remain our secret. Here is what you’ve sacrificed your life for…

A friend of mine is playing the Layton series for the first time right now, so I decided to replay them for the first time in over ten years (ouch. I feel old). Miracle Mask didn’t really stick out to me as a kid, but as an adult? Ugh.

Anyways. I hadn’t drawn anything in a while but the demons in my brain demanded a sacrifice. Welcome to my blog. See you again in a month.

[poppinlovemp4]

even when i was 12 and i'd lay down my life for ksoo the one stan behaviour i could never get behind was getting really offended that some guy hated your bias/pretending you couldn't understand why anyone would hate your bias like that's nice i think we should all hate celebrities some more. in fact i don't love liking celebrities it eases my heart to know there's someone out there balancing that out

!! DRUMINDOR SPOILERS IN TEXT AND TAGS !!

Listening to Drumnidor as a Hadrian girlie is not easy. My god they're assassinating his entire character and taking away his life purpose right in front of us! They're reducing him to a stupid comic relief character with no depth and no real influence on the people around him (to a greater degree than they ever did before) and they're taking away all his greatest achievements and attributing them to someone else to fit the plot! His main character status has been revoked and he's now apparently merely a supporting character in someone else's story. Please, everyone, a moment of silence for my blorbo 😔🙏 Rest in peace mr. Blackwater. At least they let you pull some impressive-arse sword moves, you looked really cool... but I am so sorry they did not let you be a practising hoe in this one 🥀

I’m happy bc Phineas and Ferb doesn’t make me feel sad at the moment :))
