I’m so sorry but these are not gonna stop anytime soon 😭😭 I have so many ideas for stories and I love seeing how they turn out and you’re the only writer I trust to do it. Feel free at any point to cut me off! Could I get one where the reader and az are in battle and one of them jumps in front of the other to save them and end up getting very seriously injured but they survive. And when they wake up the other can’t belive it and is still upset so they kiss all over them to prove that they are okay. Can I also get a little bit of worrying from cassian and Rhys in there too! Maybe if the reader is the one to get hurt they are worried about her and if it’s az then they’re the ones to comfort her. Thank you!!
lol keep em coming, love! I'm always happy for the requests💜
The Greatest Casualty
Azriel x Reader
Warnings: depictions of battle, blood, injury and death
Tumblr media
A storm personified, you surged through the battlefield, cutting down enemy after enemy in a blur of clashing swords and blood. Azriel fought alongside you, the two of you working in tandem as you fought in a darkly beautiful dance together. 
As you moved forward, you caught the archer’s bow directed at you, cutting her arrow down effortlessly with your blade. What you didn’t notice in time was the archer lined next to her, firing their arrow quickly after, aimed straight for your mate. You didn’t have time to calculate the swing of your sword to deflect another arrow in time, adrenaline taking over your thoughts as you pushed Azriel out of the way, diving in front of the arrow yourself. 
As your flesh began to burn, excruciating pain spreading through your veins as the world blurred, you realized the arrow was poisoned. Azriel’s raging scream was the last thing you heard before your vision faded to black. 
Fading in and out of consciousness, you were unaware of how much time was passing as your body warred with itself to stay in this world. There were occasional muffled voices, some you recognized and some you did not. You once thought you could hear Azriel crying as a voice that sounded like Cassian’s comforted him, but when you tried to send reassurance to him through the bond, the connection was weak. All that you could feel from his end was a maelstrom of emotions, swirling torment and agony. Your heart broke for him before drifting back out of consciousness. 
Another time, you could hear Rhys and Feyre, more clearly than you had heard other voices before. They were speaking in hushed tones, but the words you heard were enough to build a fire within you. As your High Lord and High Lady discussed what would happen to your mate should you never wake up, you felt a fire in your veins. You crawled out of that dark place in your mind where you had been resting, clawing your way towards the light in front of you, that golden mating bond tethering you to this life. 
You grabbed that thread and tugged it with all your strength as a blinding light overwhelmed your senses. Your eyes shot open as you gasped for air, the blinding light you saw proving to be daylight shining through the window of your room. Rhys and Feyre turned from their conversation, shock and awe in their expressions before Feyre burst into tears, running to you from across the room. She brought you in for a gentle hug, the ache of your joints eliciting a wince from you regardless. She turned and directed Rhys to get Azriel and a healer, refusing to leave you now that you had awoken.
You nearly sobbed as you heard Azriel’s voice coming closer as he argued with Rhys that they shouldn’t have made him go downstairs to eat, because he missed his mate waking up. The door burst open, Feyre stepping aside to let Azriel settle next to you on the bed. You tried to speak, but the words came out raspy as if your voice hadn’t been used in too long. Feyre and Rhys left you alone with Azriel, heading downstairs to greet the healer whenever they arrived. 
Az studied your face, pressing kisses to every part of you that he could reach. He brushed your hair from your eyes, aiding you as you sat up against the pillows. He helped you drink some water, making it possible for you to speak well enough to ask, “how long was I out for?” Azriel’s face crumpled, sighing as he clutched your hand as though if he let go, you might disappear. “Ten days.” Your lower lip wobbled as you attempted to hold back the tears, Azriel gently shushing you as he held you close to his chest. “You dove in front of an ash arrow with a poisoned tip.” You heard his voice break as he whispered, “We didn’t know how you could survive.”
Azriel pulled back to look in your eyes, a scarred hand stroking your cheek. “Why would you do that, love? I waited for you for nearly six hundred years. I didn’t know - I don’t know what I would do if I lost you.” You took Azriel’s hand in your own, pressing a kiss to his palm. “The arrow would have hit you. I can’t lose you either, Azriel. I would take an arrow for you again without thought. You are my mate, and I would give my life gladly knowing that I will find you in the next.”
Azriel laid down next to you, the two of you enjoying each others’ presence as you began to drift off to sleep. You were startled from your peaceful state as the door was bust open once more, Cassian running in to bring you into a bear hug, your stiff joints protesting as you winced at the overwhelming affection. Azriel pushed him off of you, snarling, “you’re hurting her, Cass.” Cassian pulled away apologetically. “I’m sorry sweetheart, I’m just happy to see you. The healers are here, by the way.” 
Madja entered with another healer who apparently specialized in poisons, the two of them examining your injuries as Azriel kept a protective arm around you the entire time. They left, clearing you for light activity until your next check-up, and Azriel carried you down to have dinner with your family, the both of you overflowing with love and appreciation for each other and the others in your lives.

one flight away
(heeseung - enhypen)
genre: fluff
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
description: after not being able to see each other for so long things are finally aligning. though after being told certain news you start to doubt if you guys will ever really get to see each other?
1.3k words
warnings: teeny amount of angst, mainly just fluff, y'all love each other so bad
a/n: hellooo it's been a while, usually I don't write fluff like at all but i got inspired by orange flower to write this LOL but I will be back to my regularly scheduled smut writing as I am going through requests but as always i'm hoping you guys enjoy this and feel free to send any requests!
songs that helped inspire this:
woodz - hope to be like you
enhypen - orange flower (you complete me)
---------
“Hee?”
you speak into the phone as you anxiously bite on your nails waiting for his response. It’d been a little over a year since you guys had last seen each other in person. With him having a crazy schedule overseas and being a college student yourself, you both essentially had no to time to go see one another.
You guys made sure to text and call one another everyday, being able to hear each other’s voice and see each’s other face but it still wasn’t enough. Not like when he was here in person with you. How you would go on cafe dates and would always share a slice of strawberry cake both your favorite and no matter the amount left he would always make sure to split the last strawberry with you. Seeing the look on your face when you bit into it always made his heart swell. 
How you would hold hands walking down the street, fingers interlocking with one another. Making sure he brushes his thumb against your knuckles. Watching as you point out any little thing that catches your attention and feeling embarrassed when you catch him staring at you. Immediately covering your face with your hands when he starts laughing at how red you start getting. 
It’d been so long without him, you were basically itching for his return when he told you that he’d finally be returning home in the next few days. You’d been counting down the days trying to distract yourself with school and work so it wouldn’t feel as long and you would come home texting about how excited you we’re to see one another 
I miss you so much, I can’t wait to see you - H
Counting down the days until you come home! 
Almost there! Just hold on one more day - H 
You could almost pass out at the fact that he was almost home. Just one more day and he’d finally be your’s again. You couldn’t fall asleep thinking of how he’d finally be laying down next to you again. Hearing his soft breathing again as he falls into deep sleep making sure to cling onto you anyway he can. Waking up and getting ready for the day all you could think of was one thing, tomorrow is Heeseung Day. 
The day couldn’t have passed more unbelievably slower then it did today. From getting scolded at work for not paying attention to completely tuning out your professor during class only one thing was on your mind and that was Heeseung. Today was finally the day, Heeseung had texted you all the details about his flight beforehand and how he’ll be meeting you soon. 
Here’s my flight info, soon we’ll finally be together again! <3 - H
Smiling from ear to ear you couldn’t help but feel giddy at the fact that this was actually happening and that he’d finally be here in person and not just through a phone screen. You we’re anxiously sitting on the seat of the airport looking at your phone every few minutes checking his flight's status. 
“It should be landing any minute now” you thought to yourself. Anxiously biting at your nails waiting for it say arrived anytime now. Yet you wait another 10 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins before finally you receive a phone call that startles you. You scramble to grab your phone and read the caller ID, Hee <3
Immediately you pick up the phone, 
“Hee?” you say anxiously 
“It feels like so long since I’ve heard your voice” He laughs into the phone “Oh? What’s wrong your voice sounds off” sounding concerned 
“Oh it’s nothing really” as you clear your throat “I’d just been waiting for your flight info to update it caught me off guard to see your name on the caller ID” you rambled into the phone. 
“You see that’s what I’m actually calling you about” As Heeseung sighs into the phone 
Your breath hitches. 
“What are you saying?” 
“My flight as actually been delayed and I won’t be home until tomorrow” 
Immediately can feel tears start to prickle at your eyes. Why does it seem like no matter how hard both of you want to see each other, you just can’t? All the anticipation building up until this moment just for him to tell you this feels like wound to the heart.
“I see” As you attempt to hold back tears, which was failing.
“Don’t cry baby, we’ll see each first thing tomorrow I promise” Heeseung says trying to soothe you through the phone 
“I know, I just can’t help being sad about this situation” you sniffle into the phone “I’d been waiting for you for so long” 
“I know baby, but I promise we’ll be together so no more crying okay?” “I’ll call you with any updates, so go home safe now I love you” He says blowing a kiss through the phone 
Ending the call, you turn your phone camera on to make sure that you don’t look completely wrecked. Feeling your heart weigh heavy, you take a deep breath in and collect yourself before heading out to the exit. After hearing that his flight got delayed you couldn’t help but feel hurt at the fact that you thought you’d finally be together again. 
As you start nearing the exit you feel a buzzing in your pocket. Immediately reaching into your pocket you look to see who the caller ID is and your phone lights up the word, Hee <3. Picking up the phone you wait for him to start speaking. 
“Hello? Baby are you there?” He asks into the phone 
“Yes I’m here what happened? What’s the update?” You ask puzzled. You didn’t think you’d be getting an update about his situation this quick. You continued walking to the exit waiting for the sliding doors to open and that’s when you saw him. 
“The update is that I’m actually here, waiting for you” he chuckles into the phone. 
You couldn’t believe it, he was actually here waiting for you. Hanging up the phone, you start running towards him. Adrenaline filling your body, nothing else mattered in this moment except the fact that he was here standing in front of you only a few feet away. You could see the smile growing on his face as you started approaching closer and closer. Sticking his arms out you immeditaely jump into his arms. Closing his arms tight behind you, you could feel his hug turn into a death grip. 
Feearing that if he let go you wouldn’t be in his arms anymore. Tears start running down your cheeks as you couldn’t believe that you we’re in his arms after so much time spent apart. 
“I’m home” Heeseung laughs tucking hair behind your ear and pulling you in for a kiss. Something you had been yearning for, for so long finally being presented to you in this moment. 
Pulling away his smile only grows wider staring at you, taking all of you in as he hadn’t been able to hold you in his arms for so long. 
“Mhm sorry I lied to you” Heeseung says sheepishly “But I had the idea of surprising you and I really wanted to see your reaction and how cute you’d look running into my arms….” he mumbles looking to the side avoiding your gaze. 
You just grab him by the chin and pull him in for another kiss, both of you smiling into it. 
“I’m just glad your finally here” you grin sniffling your tears away. Heeseung coudln’t help but find you so endearing in this moment that he started to pepper kisses around your face. Finally setting you down, he grabs some tissues from his pocket and starts helping you wipe your tears away. 
“Cmon, dry those tears” Heeseung hums has he finishes wiping your tears away. 
“Gimme your hand” Heeseung says reaching his hand out to meet yours. You grab it immediately interlocking fingers just like before as he reassuringly starts rubbing your knuckles. He couldn’t help but smile knowing he’s finally home with you by his side.

The necromancy of Thay, an all-around murderous book not for the weak of heart. Astarion and Gale both make a bid for it with Tav on different nights.
Astarion wins out in that he hopes it holds answers to somehow break the control of Cazador if the tadpole goes away.
Gale's talks about the benefits of the tome in terms of magic and power. It doesn't sit right with Tav, and they suspect Gale is hiding something. If Gale was honest that he wanted the tome for his own bid to freedom from the orb, then Tav would have made them share. (lol)
Tav feels guilt going so fast for a cure when it could send Astarion right back to being controlled. So yes, they give it away to the vampire.
There is tension over it for many days. Gale sulking anytime Astarion tries to reason with the spirits that inhabit the text. He thinks if he just could get his hands on the book, it will be deciphered within hours.
As Astarion is not a mage, he struggles with breaking through even one layer of protection cast by the previous owner, much to his annoyance. Whatever answers it holds ellude him, but he does not give up. This continues on their journey from the grove and to the mountain pass until they arrive in the shadowlands.
They have all been traveling together for quite a while, and well, the tension is less, and they are all starting to get along on some level, Tav is happy to see. No more random murder attempts in the night is a relief. Though progress through the shadowlands is slow and arduous. They spend a lot of time at camp.
Astarion holds the books once again, settling in for a long rest. It fights him, and he is tired, exhausted even, and maybe a little bit scared as they are steadily approaching baldurs gate and Cazador. There is a desperation in his bearing as he needs to find a way to be free before the face of the forces of the absolute. Tav reassures him that they will kill Cazador, but he is not one to put all his eggs in one basket.
The book does not care how despreate he is, and goads him. He gets aggravated and throws it down with an annoyed shout.
Tav gets to their feet to see whats wrong, but Gale beets them to it. Hia annoyance at the vampire has slowly grown to concern. "I told you it needs a wizards touch." Gale picks up the book.
"If you are here to lord over me how I can't do anything right, that blasted book has already said much the same," Astarion scoffs, digging a nail into the palm of his hand. The dull pressure is a welcome distraction from his spiraling thoughts.
Gale sits down by the mans side. "No, I .... what I mean is. I could help." He opens the book to the first page. His magic pritections do much to quiet the voices. "We can read it together"
Astarion narrows his eyes. "What is your game, wizard?" He searches Gale experession for a motive but only finding genuine concern. "Why now after all the bickering over the dumb thing"
Gale scratches at his orb, in the absent-minded way he does when the answer of why is not readily available. "I've wanted to read the tome, think of it as a mutually beneficial arrangement," he smiles sheepish. He is not going to say that he just wants to help the elf and cares very little on what the book says, as long as it is no longer the cause of the frown lines on Astarions beautiful face.
The vampire is not quite sure about it but gives in, just because he is not getting anywhere and a part of him enjoys Gale's company.
Over the next few days, Astarion and Gale can often be found together at camp, talking in hushed tones as they decipher the tome. Over time they give any excuse to spend time together even after deciphering the necromancy of thay. It becomes a routine where they read books together on any topic that catches their fancy. Their two tents slowly become one before either notice. Astarion enjoying more than just a reading partner, but someone to keep him warm at night with *cuddles*

any Vernon bf thoughts? :) just read your other HHU headcanons and noticed he wasnt there yet...
damn so i have feelings for this guy. good to know good to know
Tumblr media
one of the biggest things about vern is that he's chill asf. we all know this. but i think it'd travel into his relationship
genuinely just happy to be here bro. doesn't get weird about things -- respects and loves you and asks that you do the same, and that's kind of it for him
not suuuper big on pda, but will honestly kinda let you do whatever with him if you like pda LOL. probably won't initiate a lot but will definitely indulge if you do; feel like he def has limits but as long as you both feel comfortable
in private however ... i see him being a bit more touchy. just a lot more comfortable with initiating it. he'll usually put his arm around your shoulders or just grab for your hand, a few little kisses here and there
doesn't have an organized playlist for you but definitely has a list of songs that remind him of you
BIGGGG fan of movie nights and watching stuff with you; if theres a movie coming out soon that he wants to see he'll get tix for the theater and make a lil date out of it. or if theres one that you guys just want to watch at home, he's so down for cuddling up on the couch while it plays
you steal his shirts and hes like "cmon :/ i paid for that :/" LMAO but he'll never ask for them back
the idea of vernon in a kitchen um. kind of scares me. so while he doesnt cook without your supervision, he'll show his appreciation by cleaning up after you're done cooking... or you'll end up with take out lol
is so interested in hobbies you have. loves to see your works when you're done with them, if you feel comfortable showing him -- hypes you up in his own gentle way
i think when he's on tour or just away from you he'll send you pictures or videos of what he's doing... usually no caption. but it's sweet to know he's thinking about you
if you ask, he'll tell you all about the stuff he's currently working on. but like.. not in a way that will give you hints HAHA he's very meticulous about it, he wants it to be a surprise for you. when you asked him about black eye he was like "yeah the production was so fun to work on, the lyrics too. it's something i'm really proud of" and you're like Awe. but then you're like Let Me Hear It and hes like No
idek if he has his license (leaning towards no) but if you guys both happen to be free on a night, esp if you haven't seen each other in a while, hes always down for driving around and talking and sharing music. absolutely
making plans with him is soooo easy. will text you and be like "your place tonight? tacos? 6 pm?" and if it doesn't work hes just like "alright, tmr then."
doesn't Surprise visit you at work but he'll text u and be like "coming by" LOL. loves taking your break with you when hes able to
silently insists on paying for you anywhere at anytime for anything. will never really Fight you on it but you know better then to try atp. BUT HE ALWAYS IS LIKE "guess i'm paying again..." and you're like "i can do it" and he's like "absolutely not. put your card away."
we all know his gifts end up being So late but they're always very thoughtful and you know he tried with them, which is what matters most
u guys have matching bracelets i don't make the rules.
the more romantic songs he's written... some are definitely about you. you never have to ask, and vernon never says anything -- the songs speak for themselves, and you think you'd both know anyways.
pretends he doesn't know any of your frequented drink or food orders when you guys are together but then somehow remembers them perfectly when he gets takeout alone for the both of you
probably steals stuff of yours, like your bigger hoodies or shirts. will ask to borrow jewelry on occasion too
if he's having a rough time writing or getting a song started or just getting stuck on a certain part he'll always invite you to the studio. claims it helps. you think he just misses you
vernon are you free tonight around 6 pm i am available tonight at 6 pm if you are free at 6 pm tonight i am also free at 6pm if you're free at 6pm tonight we can do something together if we are both free tonight at 6pm.

I've seen many posts about people missing how common asks used to be so I have been trying to send about an ask a week. Now I send this ask first anytime I follow someone as I really don't want to bother anyone, so I'd love to know if you enjoy receiving asks and if so what kind of asks. Not having energy for asks or being comfortable with them is perfectly okay.
The categories I have in my ask notebook that I file under are in colour. Please feel free to make your response as long as you want or private (the asker cannot directly respond to private responses).
Self, Job/Work: please let me know what you are comfortable with from eh idk just ask it to nothing personal at all.
Baggishield/Tolkien, Dragon Age, Johnlock/Sherlock, ineffable spouses, other fandom: Please let me know what fandoms. I think my main fandoms and ships are Bagginshield/The Hobbit, Sherlock/Johnlock, Dragon Age Inquisition, {Pippin/Faramir Merry/Eowyn}/The Lord of the Rings and I dip my toes in a few that I currently can't remember but ships I don't engage with the canon of at all are: Good Omens but only for Crowley/Azirapheal, Stranger Things but only for Steve/Eddie , The Witcher but only for Geralt/Jaskier, and Ladybug and Cat Noir but only for Adrinette .
OC's, art/drawing, their writing, blog specific only
Story snippets ideas and prompts: Do you like receiving them?
Pets: I'd love to know all about them
Garden and Hobbies: What type of gardening and/or hobbies?
Like being tagged in things: If so what kinds of things?
*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer.
Oh, hi! Thanks for the message! I honestly didn't know that asks are no longer as common as they used to be. I've never been a good candidate to receive them since I don't have so many followers (I always thought you needed at least 500 to get asks lol) and I'm not much of a creator. I usually just reblog stuff that makes me happy and occasionally (like once in three years) I share a fic I wrote here so I never had high hopes which is why I was very surprised when I received this ask and it made me so happy! Seriously, you're so cool for doing this, especially when people don't expect it at all. Even though it's through social media, it requires a bit of coming out of your personal bubble and putting yourself out there and I rarely do that in my life no matter how safe the space is. So it's really cool and thank you. I received probably like 2 asks aside from this one in my whole life, but yeah, I enjoy it a lot. ^^
As for what kind of asks...
Self, Job/Work: I'm good with sharing some stuff as long as it's not something that hits too close to home, but I would probably say that's the case. Asking about how I'm doing in general and what I do and what I enjoy about it is probably fine.
Fandoms: Asks about fandoms would most definitely be my favourite. I always enjoy ranting about stuff I love with other like-minded people. I love Bagginshield, The Hobbit, LOTR (Faramir especially), Ted Lasso (and particularly royjamie), Star Wars (obikin is very close to my heart), The Walking Dead (rickyl is the goat ship of that fandom for me), and probably my favourite otps are superbat (superman/batman) and spirk (kirk/spock) so I enjoy these fandoms too. Fandoms where I have no ships but I enjoy them all the same are Mass Effect (only the original trilogy) and The Witcher (the games, I only read two books so far sadly, I ship geraskier from the show but I don't like the show otherwise). All these things are something I enjoy talking about. ^^ I also like Johnlock/Sherlock and I played the Dragon Age trilogy (but I enjoyed Origins the most and aside from the Cullen romance and meeting Alistair and Morrigan in Inquisition, I didn't enjoy that game very much).
I write fanfics sometimes. I haven't written many and it usually takes me a lot of time to finish anything, but I enjoy it. I'm happy to talk about my writing any day even if it frustrates me to no end.
Story snippets ideas and prompts: Not sure about this. I think receiving them is nice, but I wouldn't be able to do anything about them aside from talking and speculating about them. I'm not very good at writing something from a prompt, so probably no story would come of it, but if it's only discussion people seek, then I'm happy to provide! And if it turns out to be very interesting, then I'm all for taking it further!
Pets: I have lots. I'm happy to talk about them any time.
Garden and Hobbies: Not much of a garden person, I'm afraid, but I enjoy nature more than anything. I live in a very Shire-like country, which is the best thing when I want to let my imagination roam. I enjoy running (but I started only recently so I'm rubbish), reading (fantasy and romance especially), learning French, playing video games, hiking, watching movies and tv shows, and I recently started to learn how to play the Irish tin whistle.
I like being tagged in things, sure! Something funny or heartwarming is usually the best, but I love posts with random facts which are super elaborate and interesting. It can't have anything to do with politics, though, tumblr is my escapist haven. :D
I think I answered everything to the best of my ability. Sorry that it's so long! Thank you again for sending the ask! I hope you have an amazing day!

Hi there! You are such a good boy for us! Normally I would be too shy to reach out but I’m high and I kept thinking about your gender post for like multiple days. I’m currently really ‘struggling’ with gender, and probably wanna be a girl, honestly I wanna be a girl so bad some days. So it makes me really happy that you wanna be such a good boy cause then it means I can take good girl, because I really like it when people call me that. Oh right and you also like being called puppy, which omg you are such a cute puppy boy. Ahhhhh I’m so high rn but you are just such a cute puppy with how subby and desperate you get, it’s adorable! I wish I could give you little scritches on your head and/or chin, I love it when people do it to me.
Umm I just hope I didn’t say anything bad, I’ve been following your blog for a long while now and I love your stuff and I don’t wanna come across as weird. Also ummm if what I said was totally fine, for like months now I’ve thought about that post you made where if your friend group knew about you being a puppy and you would be exposed and degraded and what not, and honestly it was really really hot. Did you know you are such a good writer puppy? I hope you know that <3 but the reason I brought it up is I was curious if like… you would be up to me writing up something and submitting it to you, like more ideas in that vein? Because it really got me going and I know you like it when people submit stuff, but I guess I didn’t want to send it unsolicited.
Thank you for reading my long message puppy You are a very good boy for us
-GG (good girl)
Ps) if this post is too dumb or rambling but you are interested in the puppy stuff you can just say something about a good girl can totally write a thing for you. I’m sorry if this is dumb, I’m quite high rn

Do you have any links to your writings here (on tumblr, not Ao3) and do you take requests for anything?
My tag for all of my writing is fic fix, because when I first started this blog at the tender age of twenty-two I thought I was being clever. You know, "come get your fanfiction fix," wherein a "fix" is like to feed an addiction . . . anyway. Back then I used to post almost exclusively to tumblr, but nowadays it's kind of the opposite and the tag is mostly links to the posting on AO3, since the future of tumblr is kind of up-in-the-air with the CEO threatening to sell it or shut it down every other month, whereas the Archive's future is a lot more stable. That said, feel free to peruse it! It's a lot less organized than AO3 for obvious reasons, but you still might find something you like. (As well as little pieces of writing here or there that wasn't complete enough to post to AO3.)
For requests, mostly I like to reblog fic or drabble memes every now and then (though I've been doing so less frequently because reblogging them to zero responses feels really demoralizing lol), but otherwise my criteria is like:
Fandoms I already write for
Ships / characters I'm familiar with / like will get written faster since I'd have more inspo for them
I don't write smut since I'm not confident I could do it well
I absolutely don't write any minor / adult or incest etc etc
Please understand that if it's a request it may take some time (a lot of time) to fill, and is at my discretion (versus commissions where they'd ratchet up in priority since that would be an actual job)
But otherwise, feel free to shoot an ask anytime and we'll see what comes of it! So long as you don't send anything gross (e.g. incest etc) or be mean about it if I can't / choose not to fill the request for any reason (or just take a long time to get to it -- trust I'm slow even with the ideas I come up with on my own, because work takes a lot out of me orz), then I'd love to hear what ideas you have!

Where would you recommend looking to purchase Touhou cosplay outfits? I've been looking through EZcosplay, But I'm really skeptical of the how the quality may be. Are there other sites that you think would be better? I know you make a lot of your outfits by hand, but I really just don't have the skills to do anything wonderful like that. Thanks! Love your work!!!
Hello! First off thank you so much! I do make some of my stuff but typically if I am buying cosplays I do so secondhand. Mostly because it saves me a bit of money! So sadly I do not have a lot of experiences purchasing new! However I'll try to help the best I can with what I know :D! If you are interested in buying secondhand please send me a message and I'll send you my big info pile on it. I have a lot more experience with it in comparison so I have a ton of links and information on it! Ok so for new! I think the best place currently in terms of price and quality is typically Taobao. A lot of stores like aliexpress and other online shops that sell touhou cosplays are often just reselling from Taobao. Buying off Taobao can be a little tricky but you will need a proxy. I know a few touhou cosplayer mutuals of mine have had a lot of success with bhiner cosplay It is basically a taobao proxy with a focus on cosplay and there is a whole touhou section here <--- I have only ordered here once and it was for a Yukari Parasol prop. It was a pretty good experience overall and the quality was nice. The only major issue recently is I've hear Bhiner has stopped accepting paypal for payment. I'd have to try to put an order in to confirm that but it might be something worth looking into another proxy for! At the very least its a great way to browse what is currently being sold and bhiner always links the actual taobao stores themselves, so you could easily go through another proxy! Another touhou cosplayer also made a handy guide on buying some of the more fancy premades as well I'll also link that here <------ A very helpful guide!! I bought a costume off a cosplayer that bought it from a shop called fm-anime . Can't speak for the ordering process but the quality pretty good! It was a Touhouvania Alice cosplay. It looks like they have limited stock these days with touhou but it might be worth a look! RoleCosplay seems to have a decent selection and even some less popular touhou characters. I've never ordered off here myself though so I'd maybe look into reviews a bit more! Maybe I should put in a test order and do a review one day LOL EzCosplay (as you stated) I have heard mixed things about! It used to be regarded as a pretty okay place to get Touhou cosplays from but more recently I've seen some people complain about sizing issues and quality in regards to their photos vs product etc! So I'd maybe avoid that one! Lastly there was this google doc made a little while ago with some shops listed. I do not know if this is up to date but I thought I'd share https://docs.google.com/document/d/12w82AVDHKmJ1dKRRZ3CAYiy1S5TbqOR_o91NCJVqgUQ/edit Also there is a touhou cosplay discord I could get you the invite to (just send me a message first) Its full of really nice and supportive people and theres a cosplay shopping talk channel and lots of people with experience there that can help out! There's also a secondhand cosplay sale channel as well if you wanted to buy directly off another cosplayer! Anyways I hope that helped. Again please feel free to message me anytime if you need specific help. I'm always happy to help people cosplay touhou in any way possible :D If you have a specific character you want to do I can try and get as many links for you put together that I can as well!!

can you maybe do an enemies to lovers trope where reader makes fun of seth rollins' taste in fashion but it ends up being cold outside and she forgot to bring a coat to wherever they may be so he offers one of his extravagant jackets only for her to reluctantly take it , maybe they could share a small kiss? <33
also i think it's awesome that you are writing!! thank you for reaching out to me and i'll happily request, i can't wait to see what you come up with!
Afterwards! Seth "Freakin" Rollins
Seth "Freakin" Rollins x y/n
Warnings: None!
Word Count: 289
A/N: This request was sent in by @seeingstarks. Thank you for your kind words. Feel free to send me a request at any time.
Y/n is your name
@seeingstarks I hope you love it
Seth and Y/n just clicked. Even though they were enemies at first, the way they bantered and teased each other made it seem like they had been friends for ages.
One thing they never stopped arguing about was Seth's fashion choices. Y/n thought Seth's love of extravagant jackets was outrageous and usually expressed her opinion with the best of snark.
However, today, things had gone a little too far.
Y/n and Seth had ventured out but somehow she had forgotten to bring a coat. It was a chilly day and she knew she had to get home soon.
When Seth noticed she was cold, he quickly offered one of his extravagant jackets to Y/n. She hesitated, not wanting to accept something she had teased him about multiple times before.
Seth smiled at her and said, "It's okay, take it. I'd rather you stay warm than argue about stupid fashion choices."
Y/n smiled, reluctantly accepting his offer and wrapping herself in the warmth of the jacket. She shivered a little bit despite the warmth of the jacket, so Seth stepped closer, wrapping his arms around her in an attempt to warm her up.
Y/n's face flushed a bright red, embarrassed by the closeness but also strangely grateful for the show of affection. She tilted her head, letting Seth kiss her lightly on the forehead.
The two finally broke apart, Y/n's face still slightly pink from the experience. Seth smiled warmly at her, and she smiled back before saying, 'Thanks for the jacket...and the kiss.'
Seth smiled wider and replied, "Anytime."
From that day onward, enemies to lovers was no longer just a thing for Y/n and Seth, but their very reality.
-I hope you guys enjoyed this! I had an amazing time writing. I love you guys and I think we've gotten a little closer and you're my family now lol. I love y'all. <33333

firstly you are so talented it makes me want to gag and die and climb a mountain 🫶💘 second i’m about to start posting my first fic ever and i was wondering if you had any suggestions for more logistical stuff to make the thing better to read? like formatting/time to post/adding pictures etc etc. sending besos y abrazos💓💓
hey dude! waaah thank you for this you're far, far too kind 🩵
how exciting!! i just checked out the little preview you posted and what a beautiful little droplet of writing!!! i cannot wait to read the rest. please please please tag me when you post it; jackson joel is my favorite joel and i am soooo intrigued to read and devour 🍓
formatting-wise, i pretty much just laid things out how i thought they looked best. you always want your warnings to be visible just in case there's anything that might require a heads up for some readers, also helps to include a summary of the fic somewhere, and i always pop a word count on there, too...but whatever works for you! i guess just consider what info you look for before reading a fic and piece it together that way.
i took inspo from many other writers on here with the whole three-photo header thing. i just pick three images that either capture the vibe of the fic or literally just pieces of the plot lol and put them up top. i try my best to be as inclusive as possible so where i can help it: i try not to use specific skintones or hair colors, body types etc. this isn't always perfect, though, and it's something i always want to be improving on. (straying from specific bodies in your mbs does mean that you can get a little more creative with em and use fun art over real-life images, which a lot of wonderful writers do!)
as for posting: i have posted at all times of day before...in all honesty, i'm not sure when is best as a. there are so many readers on here from all over the world who will eat up your work at any time, and b. i typically hit post and then toss my phone for a few hours - but i guess the later in the day, the better for exposure and engagement? as people will be home from work and school etc., and have the time to check it out.
try not to get hung up on this part, tho! i live by the mantra that the people the fic is for, will come across it one way or another - and not all fics are instant hitters. that's ok! sometimes it takes time for something to gain eyes on it. post for yourself. have fun with it. numbers mean nothing 🤍
if there's anything else you wanna ask or chat about, feel free to dm me anytime! can't wait to read when you post the rest! sending love right back to ya 🫂🩷

hey katar, hope im not a bother but quick ask here,
would u think logan post-pit would be atleast, and if not would, be fluent in spanish to the point where he speaks spanglish sometimes, responds to people in spanish, or even only curse in spanish?
considering how the federation is located in south america, i think the feds soldiers would speak to logan in spanish for the most part, sometimes in english, making him start speaking spanish somewhat fluent(?) during his time there, and would probably forget how to speak his native language fluently until the ghosts come in (which is where the spanglish comes in)
bonus: this would (probably) also apply to rorke as well too!
i would love to see your interpretation of this random thought i had :)
- random anon
Hallo! Not a bother at all, I love asks, feel free to send any anytime. (Especially about HC's, I *LOVE* headcanon talks.)
Yes I do think he would be fluent. Given we never actually hear him speak in game (Ah, the silent protagonists era...) we don't know for sure, but I like to HC that both he and Hesh were raised bilingual. San diego is right next to the US/MEX border so it's not a stretch. (I also hc that their mother was hispanic.)
And that's on top of the US/FED war happening right at the peak of their teen years; Given that it's very clear they were raised in a military family, it would be considered useful for them to learn it then if they hadn't already, with the expectation that they'd then have that advantage under their belts once put on-field. (I believe it's canon that Keegan is fluent in spanish, but don't quote me lol.)
I do agree that after a long enough time spent in the Federation he might up an forget some of his english. Would be very funny if he went full Fed and tried to do a monologue and just freezes because he forgets how to say the thing he's trying to say in english and refuses to ask for help. Tries to play it off as a dramatic pause, but they know.... they know.
I enjoy bonuses, it would 100% apply to Rorke because he's been down in the Federation going on 12 years by the time the game rolls around. (Caracas - 2015, Game - 2027) Like at that point if he didn't learn then he's being purposefully obstute. Which doesn't make sense for him, given all his anger and resent is directed at the Ghosts/US, so at the very least he'd try to be cooperative with the Federation. Including learning their language in order to make it easier.
A bonus in return for your bonus: They'd also probably learn or be fluent in portuguese, as it's the second most spoken language in latin america (South america + Central america.) and somewhat similar to spanish. (Though both have their differences of course.) (Venezuela, capital of the Federation, speaks majority spanish. Brazil, largest country in the Federation by population and size, speaks majority portuguese.)
EDIT TO ADD: They'd also probably pick up an accent living in the Federation ("Them" being Logan and Rorke.)

I just read Sunflower and i kid you not, i directly send a 3 minutes long voice mess to my boyfriend. This was genius. Incredible. I love you. Please teach me. Please be happy. You deserve the world. My head is going to ne filled with this.
responding to all your comments that you've left here below - thank you, you are so kind. this is really long. sorry for the yapping.
firstly, oh my god. the one you left on sunflower LMAOO i laughed out loud bc i never imagined someone would like my work so much, that they'd contemplate printing it! i'm glad you enjoyed the way i wrote the reader - i wasn't sure how to characterize her at first, but she grew on me so much. i'm honored. hopefully one day i will be able to write longer-length fics with the same depth that i did for this one!
also thank you and sorry in advance i need to rant about my fics/concepts - im going to dump them all here, since you asked about them! i don't have anything other than what's on my profile right now, but i hope these suffice. if you have any more questions about anything feel free to ask anytime :). barring outright spoilers, i'm happy to answer anything! some of my in-progress works are on my masterlist ( only titles / pairings, nothing else ). they will be posted to tumblr eventually, and i think they will be long enough to also be posted to ao3! however, i've only started working on these fics recently (read: after july 1st, when i made this blog) so they probably won't be posted for a while, unless i sink into a sunflower-level brainrot again. but! soon! these will likely be in x reader format. here's a tentative list, i won't go too much into detail ( i really want to. i want to do it so bad. but i won't bc spoilers!! )
porcelain, shouto todoroki x actress! reader. - but this will deal with very dark themes (eating disorder, suicidal ideation, sexual violence, child abuse, and anything similar associated with the acting/idol industry) that a lot of people will likely find uncomfortable. will also take me a significant amount of time to write due to the research i need to do to give these themes (hopefully) justice.
pirate! katsuki bakugo x siren! reader. - i came up with the concept this morning. it needs to marinate for a bit. but the vision is there!! pure self indulgence fic!! i thought of it and i was like WAIT i am a GENIUS and ive also been listening to the song that inspired it on loop so. mild darker themes but nothing like porcelain lol
sukuna x kitsune! reader - honestly i just really like kitsune mythology and whenever i think of this i want to stick my fist in my mouth and scream because im like the POTENTIAL. i also really like aus about fantasy historical times (im a diehard historical xianxia cdrama enjoyer. they are terrible. i eat every single one of them up.) will also deal with dark themes, considering the status of the world/women during those times.
i do have a tentative x oc in the works - vampire hunter! character x vampire. not sure abt the pairing, but it's bnha. i can tell you that this will be an au, like i take liberties with the entire universe and rewrite it style, with an entirely new plot set after the entire anime. (afo wins. i think.) this will hopefully be a chaptered work, which also means it will take me a significant amount of time to write. i like to have a clear vision + most chapters prewritten for anything longer than a one shot before i post bc all of my past projects have been abandoned lol. theyre getting reworked into some of these fics tho!
finally, onto this ask: i actually showed your message to my parents after squealing over it lol thank you. i'm honored you liked my fic so much that you shared it with your loved ones. i am also glad that your head will be filled with this - that's exactly how i felt writing it! nothing else. just ideas bouncing around the rest of my horrifically empty head.
you also mentioned being taught by me how to write twice - i don't think i'm qualified for a teacher. i'm not even an english major :^). i just enjoyed english classes in hs, and write in my spare time. (im actually studying computer engineering and my friends think its really funny bc like lol an engineer?? a coder?? who writes?? i am simply Special)
however, i think i can say this! write for yourself, write whatever you want to write. my first works were published on wattpad back when i was 13. that account has since been deleted, and i cringe really hard when i think back to that time, but i think that without it, without the love that those few interactions gave me, and towards my confidence to post, my writing would not be at all what it is today. it doesn't matter if what you write is bad, or not at all on par with what you'd like - writing, to me, is a journey that you build up every step of the way. you will improve in anything if you pour enough love into it, i think.
( ok unrelated interlude sorry i feel like a wizened sage i should really take my own advice and focus up on school LOL. sorry if this is also like,, condescending at all?? in any way?? i promise i don't mean it in that way )
with regards on how specifically to improve at writing: idk, i'm not that much of an established writer myself. i'm definitely not as good compared to some authors whose works i've read, though i'd like to get someday! firstly, i think reading anything you can is important. the books i usually read are of the fantasy/action/romance types, and i am a serial reader of fanfiction myself. read as much as you can, whatever you'd like. note the authors that say something that sticks with you, cut up the emotions of their characters into a million pieces, hold them within your heart. i am the writer i am today, only because of the thousands of authors who came before me, because i carry snippets of them that i admired, i thought were particularly amazing, and tried to make it into my own. i think i said this in a response to someone else: it's amazing to see how different authors interpret a character and make it into their own, taking little snippets from a fandom, tweaking it just a bit to add their own.
read for your own enjoyment, write for your own enjoyment, practice with a drabble a day or anytime, anything that you want. love the process and every step of it. be like me, and think of a comment at 11pm while watching your cdramas because one reader told asked you if you really liked to make them suffer. think of a concept because you tell them that you'd like to write fluff one day, and fixate on this so strongly that you think of nothing else for a full 48 hours, even when you are sleeping, so much that you wake up, have an idea click together, hop over to your laptop at 8am in the morning on 5 hours of sleep after you sleep at 3 (because you're grinding) and start the grind anew. or, ruminate on your ideas! let them sit, let them simmer, plan it out as slowly as you'd like. it can take you months, years - lord knows. i have a concept i've been sitting on for the better part of minimum five years? i say this, because once an idea clicks for me, the flow of it feels natural. i grin whenever i think of something really stupid to put in, a sentence that feels just perfect, a reference that 90% of my readers will probably miss.
when i decided to start this blog, it was because i was like: it'd be really cool if i went viral! and also because i wanted to share my work, to motivate myself into writing. i write because i am delighted when anyone chooses to interact with my posts, to like my writing. but i also write - and i think this is really important - solely for myself. yes, it's astounding to see the numbers go up, and i've honestly obsessed over the notifications for like hours now im ngl. but i write works for me, in a way that i know i will love; that will have me rereading over and over going oh my god i love ME. i write for those moments i will read back upon and grin quietly to myself at my own self-supposed literary genius.
tl;dr, write for yourself, and write something you know you will love.
if you have specific questions, i would be happy to answer them. to the best of my ability. i write entirely based off of vibes. i am also not sure if you asked that as like an unserious thing but i still tried my best either way.
sorry if this took too long / if any of it is unreadable / stated a bit? weirdly? tried my best :^)). also apologies for the yapping, it is also a disease, and like with my brainrot, i fear it is terminal

Hello! I'm the anon with the protector goddess OC from a while ago, I just realised I never actually responded to your response. Thank you for telling me that! I am cis myself, as you could probably tell haha, but there are a lot of trans women (writers or video essayists mostly) who I really look up to, and whose content helped me through a lot of dark times in my own mind.
To continue about my OC - she is pretty specifically only a protector of women, especially girls, not from general sexism but mostly violent misogyny, something that is very important to me because of some bad experiences. It is actually a plot point that she saved a girl, a possible future priestess, from death and assault by an invading force, but did not save the lives of her brother or father, something that drives the girl away from her religion - she would rather, in that moment, have died along with them. So, I do think that I unfortunately lack any of the nuance to write a trans man in the sect.
Anyway, there is a transfemale priestess! Her name is Luna, she is a poet and a pacifist, the daughter of a famous and wealthy liquor maker. Very mysterious, high-class woman.
Hey anon it's good to hear from you again!!! I remember your ask and your cool concept hehe
Getting more context of the nature of the goddesses inner circle makes that choice make sense though! If it's really a girl's only club I think I'd make the same call (that's just me tho). I'm sure it's something you've thought about a lot and I know you're coming about it from a really thoughtful angle either way. So I think it's a safe one. And I also completely get how writing stuff like this is a very deeply personal thing so I encourage you on that front and wish you a lot of luck!
But Luna sounds really cool! Mysterious high class woman.... She seems objectively awesome, and a really cool character to have on board, just in general, but also to make it clear this goddess is pro trans lol
You said you watch YouTube essays on this stuff right? Have you seen Lily Simpson's stuff? She does in depth reviews of different trans episodes in tv, usually sitcoms and such, and I think they're really interesting to watch from the perspective of seeing which stereotypes get reinforced through popular media and how they both reflect and encourage transphobic attitudes at the time. And that still pervade today. Recommended 👍
Anyway for real good luck with your ocs feel free to send me an ask about them anytime! Not just for stuff like this but just to generally ramble if you ever feel like it :) they seem very cool, and ik how it is to hold this stuff so personally so I'm really in your corner here! Good luck again anon!! 💖💖💖

hi! i’m a big fan of your work and admire so much how much writing you post. i feel like we’re always being graced by something new and wholly lovely. it’s a real gift and i’m so grateful that you share your work. i write fic too and often wish i worked a little faster. i’m wondering if you’d be willing to share about your process. do you have a writing schedule? what are your writing “philosophies” if you have any? is your writing pace something you’ve worked to grow as a skill, or is it something that feels like it comes more naturally to you? and if i’m being overly curious, just ignore me! i’m interested in other writers’ process but know these can potentially be big questions to ask out of nowhere. thanks!!
Hello!!!
First of all, I apologize for not answering this sooner. This is such a lovely ask and a lovely question. I attempted to get my thoughts organized, got super sick in the middle, fell a bit out of love with even writing fic, and am now back lol!
I will attempt to organize my thoughts a bit for this question, but I'm known to go off on tangents, so I apologize if something doesn't make sense. Feel free to send another ask/dm me/comment/etc for clarification or any follow-up questions :)
Right off the bat--thank you for your very kind words :,) and thank you for taking the time to read my fics! I appreciate you so much.
My process is a bit wonky. I have actually slowly and recently become aware that I don't work the way a lot of my writer friends do--in a myriad of ways. Like, my output is not necessarily normal; in some cases, I am way faster than some other fic writers in terms of putting out work, and in other cases, I'm suuuuuuuuper slow, as there are people who update a couple times a week and finish long-form fics in a handful of months.
I think it boils down to this--I started writing fic because I just wanted to read a certain kind of fic--so I wrote it. I just wrote it! I sat down and wrote exactly the words I wanted to read and then I hit publish and kept going. Anytime I got an AU idea that was particularly gripping, I would just sit and write it and that was it.
I don't outline 99% of the time. It is rare that I do and I usually hate when I do it because it ends up as a last ditch attempt to get all my ducks in a row for a story that is giving me trouble and then the outline becomes really restrictive for me and then writing becomes tedious. I think it's important to note that writing fic, for me, is a really creative thing that I try not to put pressure on myself for, and the way I write my original work is really different. With fic, I will just sit and write and hit publish and I'm lucky if I do a proof read lol. I will quite often catch typos MONTHS later. Lol. If I'm being patient, I'll sit and re-read and re-edit a fic over the course of a few weeks and it's always better and more fully formed and trimmed in the right places and (in my opinion) better when I do that, but the thing is, I really don't usually do that!
That gets to the next bit--writing philosophies. There's about a thousand schools of thought and they're all garbage. The only one that matters is the one that you come up with and that works for you. Now, that doesn't mean that your writing philosophy and approach to the craft has to be entirely independently thought up by you, no. It can and probably will be an amalgamation of your own ideas and other people's ideas that work for you! But it should be a bit of taking from other's here and there and finding what works for you.
Mine is sort of like this;
For me, writing fic is a lot of things, but at the core, it is about creativity, freedom, removal from a capitalist need to produce/creation for the sake of creation, and a place to push my own boundaries. I write super wild smut or crazy out there AUs just to push myself to see if I can write it. I write an AU I come up with while driving in the car just because it gripped me and I want to. I write super fast because the idea just grips me and I want to exorcise the demon inside me and vomit it all up on the page and feel better. I've found that if I stray from that and I write for another reason, I usually feel pretty crummy about it.
This, of course, means that I don't have a real schedule or strict deadlines for myself or anything. I just write for fun and that's it! I am sure it's probably frustrating as a reader and I am sorry 😭 tbh sometimes it's frustrating as a writer knowing I'd probably have greater readership if I was more consistent with updates and wrote on a schedule and stuff, but that's my own fault lol, I just follow the muse. That being said, right now, I remain committed to finishing all my WIPs. I don't have a timeline for that, but I do remain committed to it.
Of course, I don't know how much of this is helpful for you if you're looking to have more discipline in your practice, so here are some more practical steps to write consistently;
put aside time each day to write, even 30 mins a day is good
SPRINT!!! sprinting for 15 mins and giving myself an impossible word count to meet really pulls me out of a funk and pushes me to write
follow your muse where it takes you and write what feels fun
on the flip side, you have to sometimes be the grown up and force yourself to sit down and write the bits you might be dreading or putting off, and you just gotta do them! this is where sprinting comes in
Your last question; my pace really has just come naturally, it's not something I've worked on or worked towards. It's been a bit of a "oh I guess that's there" lol. Discovering my normal and discovering what I can reasonably expect from myself both length-wise and time-wise (in how long it takes for me to write something) has been hugely helpful in budgeting my time moving forward while writing and setting realistic goals and expectations for myself. There have been times I have pushed myself--like with Bridgerton, Actually, which I wrote updates for weekly--and times where I let myself have a chapter update with a low for me word count and remind myself it is fine lol. The pace is the pace and it just... happens! I will say that if you're looking to get faster, ask yourself why, and try to be realistic if the quality is going to grow along with the pace, or if it will suffer. There have been times where I've taken longer on an update, knowing full well I could just slap something down on a paper and hit update and not care, but I instead made myself work through things, even when I didn't want to, and take time with them, because I knew it would be worth it for the quality. Sometimes, however, I've sacrificed quality for timeliness (Bridgerton, Actually is an example of that; I still think it's a good fun holiday fic, but it's only about 33% as good and fleshed-out as I wanted it to be, but that's my own fault because I didn't start writing soon enough ahead of time, and I prioritized my update schedule over quality, and that was a concession I had to make my peace with!), and that's okay too, if that's what you know you're going to do going into something!
I think I answered all of your questions but feel free to let me know if you'd like me to expand on something :)) thanks for the question, it wasn't invasive at all! I love talking about the process <3

I have been writing my fanfics on Wattpad for awhile and I want to bring them over to Tumblr. Do you have any advice on how to get started on that?
Thought I would ask you bc I love how your fanfics are set up ❤️
Aaaahhhh!!! Can I just say how honored I am that you asked me.....and i am more then happy to help in anyway that i can🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ok, so I started here and only post here. I tried ao3 but am having a hard time getting everything over there, it's not as user friendly....to me anyway lol
I started off by making my masterlist, it has all the general info about what I write, who I write for, 18+ and all that and I make sure to keep that pinned to the top, so basically when you make the post there's an option to pin post, just hit that and it will keep it at the top of your blog.....makes it super easy for your readers to find 😁😁
Now let's say you write a one shot, you post it and then copy the link....then go to your mastelist post, put the title in and then highlight it and hit the chain link icon on the end, then paste the link and ta-daa!! Now with series or multichapters its the same basic steps, just a little different.
I make a mastelist for each series, so I use a pic/gif/moodboard as the photo along with the title, warnings/Summary and all that. Then I scroll down and put part one/part two etc depending on the amount of parts, and as you write each part paste the link to each one. And then I copy the link to the individual masterlist, go back to my main mastelist type the title and paste the link so that way when your readers tap on the title it goes directly to all parts of that story.
It's actually really fun to do!!! I hope I haven't confused you!!! Please feel free to message me ANYTIME and I'm more then happy to walk you through each step and answer any questions you have!!! Don't hesitate 😁😁
Oh!! And one last thing for now......HASHTAGS!!!! they are tedious and somewhat annoying but very important!! They help your writing be seen by as many people as possible. So, let's say you got your post ready, you all set to post it.....go down to the hashtag icon at the bottom and use as many as you can......it allows you to use 30 and I use them all..if you write Loki, you just put in Loki x Reader and it pops up suggestions, just tap it and it adds it to the post. If you look at any of my posts at the end you'll see the list of hashtags I use, and I'm more then happy to send you pics and visuals if it would help!! The hashtags throw a wider net allowing you to pull in a larger audience, so say a reader searches loki x reader your hashtag will pull and your story will pop up in their search 😁😁
Again, message me anytime and I'm always here to help!!!! 💚💚💚
