i also write on top of draw sometimes, so if you liked the dynamics i draw between young iroh and ozai, you should check out this thing that i wrote about a snippet of their lives at home :--)

i think there might be something to be said about how arguably the three men who started the dance are all second sons. doomed to live in your older brother’s shadow forever so you devote yourself to him and make your own name through violence

Hi hi my sticker shop is up and ready!!

Earnestly wondering how people who espouse shame as a viable tactic for bringing about personal change manage to do it successfully. Is there some difference in our definitions of shame, or do they just have a higher tolerance for it? Have they found meaningful success, or are they just bluffing? Is there a type of person who can really just hurt their way into being better? Is there a type of person for whom that's sustainable?

Having recalled its lesbian visibility week. If you wish to support a lesbian artist you can always buy the music, if you feel like it. The lesbianism comes up, at least a bit. Here’s my bandcamp if you like: https://sealapocalyptic.bandcamp.com

My most recent album is even about love! So it’s relevant? No pressure on this to be honest, but it does mean a great deal to me when people like my music so much that they spend money on it (it is, in fact, genuinely insane to me and I love you every person who has even listened to my songs let alone Spent Money On Them)

a quite simple outfit, trying to use the little blue and white apron thing (which is actually a dress I think, that I just leave un-buttoned in the back and added an apron-like tie to lol)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Oh man. I could never pick just five, tbh. Here’s some that I reread frequently though, sorted by fandom rather than ranking.

Arcane:

A Helping Hand (30/? chapters posted, silco/f!reader; occasionally smutty/explicit, but mostly heavy on the tension/slow burn) Duh! Of course I rec my longest but still unfinished multichap! A story of recovery and personal growth mixed in with some weird bdsm kink stuff? Come on, it's fun! And its reverse POVs! Can be found both here on tumblr and over on AO3.

Dead by Daylight:

Unwilling Survivor (33/? chapters posted, legion/f!OC; rated M for graphic violence, mentions of suicide, sexual themes; enemies to enemies to enemies to lovers) I fucking love my OC Sam, okay?? I love her so dearly, and this was her first debut in this universe, one which I have since written her in a LOT through RP and projects with friends. Some of my favorite writing is Sam stuff, I love my suicidal final girl and the untapped rage in her, she's fantastic. Please read this.

Oxenfree:

So It Goes (21/21 chapters, complete and posted, Jonas/Alex; rated M for themes, but no graphic content; time loop angst and warning for stepcest) Possibly the only multichap I've ever completed, thanks to Hammie as a cowriter. Loved writing Jonas for this one, with his intense guilt and strong sense of responsibility, and the delicious angst the canon setting brings. Also had so much fun making mood boards for every single chapter. Hop on over to AO3.

Holy Spirits (25/? chapters posted, Jonas/Alex bi4bi m/f alternate future fic that is so far from the source material it's practically contemporary romcom; rated M for sexual themes and some violence; annoyance to friends to Complicated) I love love love everything I ever wrote with my friend Hammie for Oxenfree, and this is no exception. So much fun to write Alex, especially with the amazingly silly banter these two get up to, highly recommend. It's over on AO3.

Original Works?:

Okay so technically this is an AU of Holy Spirits, lmao, but if you like one you'll hopefully enjoy the other! Lucky In Love (36/? chapters and still occasionally updating; bi4bi m/f reality tv romance (cameraman/contestant); rated M for sexual content; another annoyances to friends to lovers story, because that shit is my drug) Basically the same backstory as Holy Spirits, and even steals some of the OCs from that story, but instead Alex is a contestant on a dating show and Jonas is a cameraman who's growing a conscience. If you like reality tv drama of the 2010s era, this has it. Over on AO3.

long story short: My short stories aren't selling as consistently as I hoped they would, and with publishing and wedding costs on the horizon, I'm hoping memberships will be a more effective way of making income, so I'm curious to see what people are most interested in seeing!

Tagging @abalonetea because I know you do patreon and that's similar so I'm curious to see what's worked for you in the past?

[rillette]

guys guess what there's a 15% discount (and $5 worldwide shipping) going on on inprnt rn u guys could get one of these cool prints right here for like. ~$10 USD! i also added two new designs to my redbubble u can find those right here ^_^

[mummer]

also idk if this is just me but im always so bored of “marxist film critique” it’s like 100% the least interesting part of any movie but it’s without fail intensely lame when written out extensively into a review or analysis. like is any of this really expanding my understanding of any given movie i dont really give a shit if a character is the specific exact same kind of communist as me. especially when most of it is like video essays about which pixar films are secretly socialist af or why marvel movies are capitalist propaganda trying to destroy the minds of our youth sorry jacobin mag but ummmm IDGAF!!!!!!!!!

Home to the Wildest Adventures and Most Dangerous Game Independent, (semi)selective fan-region role-play blog based on a hypothetical crossover of Pokémon and Monster Hunter. Features five main characters and several side characters. Written by Capt. P. "Panda", formerly known as Capt. T. "Tea" Rex.

I kinda wish buggy arc went similar to Mike wazowski from monster university

YES IT IS NOT A JOKE THIS MOVIE HAS A REALLY NICE MESSAGE FR

oh, like, you don’t need to look and act like a stereotypical perfect monster (scary, strong, etc) or follow the traditional path (a college degree) to achieve your dreams? please forgive me if i’ve misremembered, i think the last time i saw that movie was in theaters. sub in pirate for monster… yeah, i totally see what you mean.

and teen buggy is in a great position to go through that kind of arc, actually. like, if instead of giving up on his dreams, if he’d just been vulnerable for a minute, the conversation with shanks could’ve gone something like: hey, we each have our own strengths. i can’t accomplish my dreams alone, and neither can you… but if we work together we can do things that we couldn’t do individually!

now, it probably isn’t easy. there are probably setbacks. the marines probably ignore their insistence that they’re co-captains, co-emperors, co-pirate kings. but they both know how things really stand, and as it turns out, that’s good enough for buggy.

[borgialucrezia]

everytime my notifs pop up that someone reblogged a gifset i made and forgot about i go reblog it on my blog as well lol

[ponds-of-ink]

So uhhh… Remember when I said “Beware the Rime”?

Well, I’m gonna be honest, that was foreshadowing for @lyresandlapins. It’s another side blog, but it’s not a character ask one this time.

(…Well, okay, we’ll see after November…)

It’s actually an archive for the first ever early draft for Of Lyres and Lapins, since I actually couldn’t think of where else to put it. This way, y’all can read what I’ve got in mind and I actually have a decent way to keep track of my progress all throughout November.

Updating might be daily, buuut we’ll have to see. Life can be bonkers sometimes.

So, TL;DR: New side blog is out, Lyres and Lapins is getting a test run until December 1st, and the first chapter (+ a blog-exclusive intro) is already up. If you’re interested, feel free to check it out!
