#she's not a self insert because she's a girl

[humanreuben]

umm guys... i just found something while doing a quick library search- it's a Norwegian erotic novel basically translated to "Shot To Pieces by Mads Mikkelsen" written by Hedda H. Robertsen and published in 2008 about "a 19 year old girl named Alba who works in a bookshop in a small town in Norway. It's nearly Christmas and the store is filled with customers, but Alba only has eyes for one of them- a man in his forties from Copenhagen. She calls him Mads Mikkelsen and falls in love. She dresses up for him, chooses perfume and makeup in hopes that he'll notice her during their short conversations at the cash register. In her mind, however, she's already living a rich life with him. Because Alba makes Mads Mikkelsen a physical manifestation of her erotic fantasies, that only grow stronger and stronger. Finally, Alba's fantasies merge with her life in such a way that they can't be separated. For what is most real? What life is the truest?"

Guys, should i read this? (if there isn't one already, I could also translate it). I have never heard of this before, this sounds like a self-insert fanfic😂 right up my alley. can't believe this is a real, published book that they still sell in bookshops here

(i'm googling the author- this was her first novel. her FIRST novel. she was 20 when she wrote it, so this does really sound like a self-insert. slayyyy)

Listen. Ok so like- my first full experience with the Phantom was the MazM game and god DAMN she's stupid at first literally does everything in her power to piss Erik off and put everyone in danger. Raoul is a piece of shit too he's just as bad as Erik if not WORSE because they romanticize his toxic behavior while they demonize Erik's like they both stalk her and force to love only them and like??? The fuck Christine girl GET OUT OF THERE.

She def grew on me after the 4th time I played it but damn she pissed me off so much i straight up deleted ir because I could NOT....then reinstalled because well I was curious

I GOT BEEF WITH THE OTHER CHRISTINES TOO!! like the one in the 1990 series has a super gentle Erik yes? He puts the boundary of the mask, she keeps pressing on it FORCING HIM, gives a stupid ass speach just to kinda manipulate him AND THEN HE!! LITETAL TEARS IN HIS EYES SHAKING OF HOW SCARED HE IS!! TAKES OF HER MASK AND SHE JUST FAINTS LIKE GIRL YOU CANNOT GO ON A RANT ABOUT HOW "If your mother held you in your arms and still could love you and your face I will too" AND THEN FAINT!! DRANATIC ASS YOU GRR HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU

Then others like in the 2000...? 2004??? Movie shes so funny like she's thirsting so bad for Erik but when Raoul appears she's like "oh right he's my love oopsie I DONT LOVE YOU ERIK AHAHA"

And idk not all Christine are bad but ive seen enough bad ones to generally dislike her until proven otherwise idk bahahha

Raoul I either dont care about or hate, no im between

Erik I love... I made... bunch of fanart of him lemme span real quick bahah also self insert bc I'm cringe and free that man deserves to be loved

He was my fixation before I went to see deadpool lmao hi

Omg... poolverine Phantom of the Opera AU....

HELLO DO YOU LIVE IN MY HEAD

i'm literally doing a poolverine redraw of the falsettos playbill rn omg (and kay @/weedwilson is doing wicked) BUT ANYWAY ANYWAY no you are so right bc LET ME COOK!!!

like the entire premise is that erik (the phantom in the book) grew up shunned and was literally a subject of a human zoo all because he was born disfigured. and he was outcast to the point where he had to live in the shadows and not show his face so everyone either thought he was a ghost or a monster. but he's just HUMAN and he craves human connection and a muse and he just wants to be LOVEDDDDD and christine was the only person who saw him but even then half of that was pity. and like fine if you include the sequel love never dies she does truly love him but just from the book/musical she leaves for something better and it's SO SAD

but yeah i've been sitting on this... i could write a fic but i've also had a vision of drawing them in this scene specifically (wanted to do one for good omens too but never got around to finishing it)

but also i've been wanting to draw wade in this masquerade outfit too just because it's gorgeous and always catches my eye

[sanza-17]

couldn't decide which version I liked so I put both, but I really like using the colour dodge blending mode thingy ngl (right image)

also I cant stop making new outfits for my vestige like I lowkey like this one better than her main outfit lol but that just means I cooked too much so a win is a win

[buzzybee3]

[morningcattime]

kinda niche but i think it might resonate with a couple of folks here

[deus-ex-mona]

pretty minor thing to think about, but i find it interesting how chapter 7 is the first chapter illustration to show chizuutan as chizuru (instead of chuutan)

like, i get it’s a flashback chapter, but we hardly got to see her as chizuru in the previous few chapters thus far… maybe we’ll get to see more of her as her true self after the hiyori fight/make up? only future chapters may tell, i guess…

[cherrylight]

hi! this is going to be a long post about my hs self insert ^_^ + with additional lore! uh, i talk as if she's a separate person, hope that's okay!

cred for sprites & picrew(s): sprite & picrew

the rest under cut !

before, hs ashley basically just looked like this !

(there's two variants because i had many ideas)

her name is actually ashley property! and it has stayed because i love it so much ^_^

i actually REALLY love the hs sprite(s) of her so very much but i want to redo it, i just been very forgetful lately and haven't really decided to redo her sprite unfortunately >_<

she does actually look nearly similar to her sprite, but there are parts that i really want to rework and sort of redo; for instance the fact she's in all black! that is NOT what she wears all the time i assure you!

another thing about the old ver of hs ashley is the fact that i decided to create a cameo guardian for her to fit the criteria, i guess. his name was jax! he was purely made because i get really interested in classpects. although, he's not really fully fledged out or anything. a part of me doesn't even want to add him in the new version of ashley actually ^^;;

another thing about this version is the fact she has literal NO LORE WHATSOEVER. in all honesty, i just could NEVER THINK OF LORE FOR HER. so she got nothing. she was just. kind of there. and that was that. and nothing else.

to be completely honest with you, she was plain even if i absolutely adored her more than anything on this planet ...

now for the new and improve ashley ^_^

^^^ ISN'T SHE SO PRETTY GUYS I LOVE HER SO MUCH

new and improve ashley my love !!!! she makes me so happy :D

i'm still working on a lot of things with this version of her ! but i'm trying to stray away from like the entire ...... typical stuff, but it's still pretty much with her as i didn't take it away or anything, just focusing more on the game stuff makes ME upset because i only focus on that and yadda yadda whatever!

this time, i actually have lore and how she ends up with everyone. but because i don't follow the comic anymore or really anything, a lot of it is my interpretation (and the fact the game doesn't really "exist" but does exist because of them having "powers"? i guess? i can probably talk about it in a different post but yeah! i just don't care about the game or the rest of the characters sorry)

so, the lore for ashley on how she got in the beta/alpha kids' timeline is this:

ashley's timeline somehow got corrupted. a lot of that is purely unknown and she doesn't even know *why* her timeline got corrupted. but she ends up in their timeline, kind of just appearing from thin air. quite literally.

although she basically FELL FROM THE SKY. long story short: she is unable to get back to her timeline. a part of me thinks that she was SUPPOSED to be in the beta/alpha timeline, but something happened for an error to occur, thus her being in the null timeline.

if that's too much for you, just know that she's unable to get back to her timeline and is stuck in the timeline she's quote on quote "supposed" to be in.

because of this happening, she doesn't know if her own family is alive or well, or they'll appear in this timeline—i'll call it the OG timeline, AKA original timeline (as it's canon and so forth. sorry for the technicalities). however, i have no ideas for her family yet, maybe i'll add jax but i also highly doubt it. i don't know! don't want to add too much to my plate, so that's in the backburner for the time being!

knowing this information, ashley being in a completely new place—new timeline—she is alone, like completely so alone and the only thing she sees is like four people. which as much as she's already wary of her surroundings and already hypervigilant on where she is, she does at the very go over to them; or they go over to her.

won't get into HUGE details on that! but i absolutely adore the betas and she will be honestly afraid to even get to close to them. i had the thought of her being this fearful to get close to people because of her ending up in the og timeline, being alone, and without really any familiar faces to see. ashley has this sort of thought of if she gets close to them, something bad would happen to *them* and she doesn't want that! considering that they seemed to offer hospitality and are cordial with her (well, for the most part, most of them seem friendly. even if using the term friendly is a stretch on talking on some), she would feel awful if something bad happened to them at her expense.

in all honesty, i didn't want her to just be a self insert for dave tbh... i want her to have her own like background and story, and lore, and relationships with the other characters! i also like doing silly scenarios with the other characters with her! it's very fun ^_^

as well as that, some other information that may be crucial later: her handle is: poltergeistBlossom, her hex colour is #FF6DC6

So, guess who's Steven Universe trash now?

After being convinced by my fellow Starfighters to give the series a shot, I've since fallen in love with it only fifteen or so episodes in, and I just had to whip up a design for what my Gemsona would look like! MASSIVE shout-out to @stephysalcido and @minxxikuo for collaborating with me on her design— it wouldn't have been possible without them! 💚✨

[jazzzzzzhands]

So anyways i was gonna wait for like a HUGE ref to put together

BUT im impatient and i have a short attention span!!

Here's me! Here is Jazz!! Puppetsona!!

Just a head shot for NOW!

ReDesigning her! And honestly if she isnt kinda different everytime i draw her, i probably died, cause i'm the MOST inconsistent person there is!! And she is too!!

She is a bear!!

She is so so Hyper and Happy!!

and she's silly! and she's doting!

and she's yearning! and shes fussy! and overBearing! (ahahaha)

and she struggles sometimes to process new things but she's figuring that out too!

She is WHIMSICAL and she's loving!

and she looks at the world with wide and sparkling eyes!!

and she believes in Magic!!

She is simply! a Collector!! She collects everything that makes her Happy! Toys, Art, Stones, Flowers, Coins, Teapots, Clown dolls, Art supplies,Memories, Dreams, and any little random thing!!

You will probably see me doodle her and change her hair, her colors, her clothing,her height, ect, but here is a taste of the sort of things she wears!!

She Doesn't wear shoes!!

and she IS! a little bit magical

Those pockets are deeper than they should be!

and Things simply seem to happen around her!!

She has a Hugtime Bracelet! Yes, from Trolls!!

Because i said she can!!

Feel free to ask me Any questions about her!!

[sweetreveriee]

my delulu ass is hoping Lyra MIGHT be part Armenian bc her shadow thing (I can’t spell sillouhetette) just screams Armenian but ik she’s not gonna be 😔

[womb-complex]

Hello! If you don't mind me asking can you lore dump about your self insert/oc?

Oh sure! I’m not sure if you’re here cuz of my dbh reblogs or my katemond tag, so I’ll just take about Kathy!

This is my little Mortuary Assistant self insert Kathy Cordero!

(my most recent drawing of her lol X3)

She’s 24 years old and Raymond’s student. She moved to Connecticut from the midwest to pursue her life-long dream of being a mortician. She fails the entrance exam twice before getting in. She’s being financially supported by her parents, but they’re slowly backing out of supporting her so she works at a diner where she gets bullied lmao (also not so coincidentally the same one Raymond goes to often)

[rococovirgo]

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!! here's Plushy with the cheesiest line i could think of that fits her!!

since last time i've posted, i've been working on more stuff for Plushy and her story!! (mostly characters, setting, building designs, a bit more on the plot and also a name for the story in which i have a whole list of potential titles vnedvnwonjbo) but for now, Plushy has a brand new look!! i feel like this outfit makes her look more silly and rambunctious!!

hopefully soon i can finish the last two designs for the main cast so that i can share them with you all!! one just needs more detail and the other i have to figure out a good outfit for!!

[kissingarthurclaus]

Grrggh...good morning everypony = w = I rewatched the episode of the ppg reboot where Utonium gets a girlfriend...

[persephoneflowerpetals]

So, I had this little incorrect quote with Hades, Persephone, and Mother Gothel in the Dreamlight Valley universe in my head all day yesterday and just had to post it lmao

CW: suggestive dialogue 🔞 (minors dni)

Mother Gothel: Oh, Hades! Glad I found you, dear. You do plan on returning that bottle of olive oil I let you borrow yesterday, don’t you?

Hades: Oh right, the olive oil I had to trade ya 30 shiny citrines for just so I could borrow it to make a meal for my dinner date with Persephone last night. Yeah…about that…

Mother Gothel: Ugh, please. Don’t tell me you’ve lost it.

Hades: No, I just uh…used all of it. Sorry ‘bout that, babe.

Mother Gothel: All of it!? You mean to tell me that you used up an entire bottle of olive oil for a meal that serves two…deities? I know Persephone has a rather…hearty appetite, but —

Hades: Yeah, I’m gonna cut ya off right there before ya say something you deeply regret. But, no I didn’t use that much for our dinner…I uh…needed it for something else. Well, actually Persephone and I needed it for something…after dinner.

Mother Gothel: (skeptical) You both made a dessert with olive oil?

Hades: Not exactly.

Mother Gothel: Then what on earth did you need it for?

Hades: *smirks* Whaddya think we needed it for?

Mother Gothel: I don’t… *expression quickly switches from confused to disgusted* Oh my god.

Hades: Funny, y’know, Persephone said the same thing to me last night. Good thing it wasn’t extra virgin, know what I mean, eh?

Mother Gothel: I wish I didn’t. Consider this the last time you borrow anything from me.

Hades: (sarcastically) Aw, what a shame.

Later that day…

Persephone: So, did you talk to Gothel about the olive oil?

Hades: Yeah, I had the displeasure of chatting with her earlier today.

Persephone: She wasn’t upset about you accidentally knocking it off the counter and breaking it, was she?

Hades: Eh, she was a little peeved, but she’ll get over it. She usually does.

Persephone: True, but she’s probably never gonna let you borrow anything from her ever again after this.

Hades: Yeah, probably not.

[beaconfeels]

I didn’t even know fanfic was a thing until I was 30, but if I had, you can bet baby me would have been writing her heart out.
