OMG IVE GAINED BACK CONSCIOUSNESS- AND IM HERE WITH MORE CONTENT!!!
Ok- so Shadow and Sunshine, my regretervator ocs…
They resemble ying and yang as they are opposites, but instead of being two different people- they are just one person! Sundow (Sunshine and Shadow) Are bipolar! (Which means they cannot regulate their emotions and can sometimes have irregular emotions even if they don’t mean to). This explains the massive anger breakouts she gets out of nowhere. Sundow works at a weather company as their public reporter- but had turned a little odd the longer she stayed in the company (she turned into actual weather events based on her emotions) Sundow cannot reverse this effect- as it is permanent.
Here’s my silly doodles of her! (Read the alts for a better understanding ^_^)
Here’s a lazy animation of Sundow! (Vulgar language ahead!)
#Sunshine and Shadow!#My hiatus was long sry#YIPPE YAYAYAY#:3#Stinky kid’s ocs#accept my ocs pls 🥺🥺🥺

Small tone test. This is the first time I’ve ever really ran a tube screamer through this amp and I love it..
I used to just turn the volume up really loud old school style - which is probably why my ears never stop ringing..I use ear plugs nowadays.
But I will say that a cranked up fender tube amp is such a powerful experience. Pedals are easier tho.

words cannot express how proud i am of you, my love. you have poured so much blood, sweat, and tears into this movie. i know it has been hard, especially the long shoot hours, the frantic facetimes in between scenes can vouch for that and so can the texts. i will definitely miss the on-set pictures/updates.
i love you so much y/n. i don't know how i could be any prouder. p.s. i better get a private showing if you know what i mean 😉

need more singer!reader hcs
୨୧ — s.r x singer!r; headcanons (3)
hi hi ! ik i said i was gonna go on hiatus (and i still will lol) but i think writing something will help keep my mind off things :) enjoy ! also i’m so sry anon this took so long.
- stays up until midnight for every album, song, or music video release even if he’s on a case because he’s the most supportive boyfriend
- anytime you win an award he goes to work the next day bragging to every team member talking their ear off about which award you won this time
- he gives everyone in the bau some of your merchandise because he loves it and he wants to show you off
- morgan teases the fuck out of him any chance he gets about his “popstar princess” girlfriend
- example: the music video is a bit more on the sexual side, and the next time he sees spencer he’s all “did you see what your popstar princess did 🤭”
- using poems from his favorite books as lyrics in your songs omg !!
- when he invites you to karaoke night with the team so they can meet you but he also wants everyone to see just how good you are
- convincing him to sing with u ! and everyone else is hyping him up like yes do it and he’s begging you not to lol
- sends you every tweet he sees complimenting you like “look, they love the new song :)!” HE’S JUST SO CUTE LIKE THAT
- again fans thirsting over him because how can you not??
- is at every photoshoot asking “do you need water? food? a sweater? are you cold? your outfit’s very small. are you sure you’re fine??”
- the biggest worrier when it comes to song lyrics and if you guys are fighting he overanalyzes every sad lyric you have as if it’s about him
- the first time you post him and the photo goes viral he’s like ???? why am i trending on twitter ?? what’s going on ???
- he’d probably never ever get used to paparazzi but surely you have your tricks to avoid them bc ik they would get so damn annoying omg
sorry this is so short, i’m braindead and burnt out rn lol
i hope u enjoyed !

Hi! I'm back :) after another long hiatus😅 I have missed all of you❤️
First of all a huge thank you to everyone who were worried and asked about my health and how I was doing. I wasn't doing well tbh. I'm one of those people who had the misfortune of never quite recovering from covid. I already had one chronic illness that was messing up my life and health. Having another on top of that takes a lot of physical, emotional and mental toll and limits my energy greatly. So I needed time to get used to my new reality and condition and learn to how manage it and live with it. It's still a work in progress and doctor appointments are seeming endless but at least some meds are helping. So there's that.
You probably already know the second reason why I wasn't doing well. I've seen terrible things…And you need time to process them. To grieve, to deal with trauma and survivor's guilt, and nurture your anger and keep fighting, keep resisting…
And well, internet connection still sucks so using social media is kind of an ordeal :D
There were a lot of times that I wanted to come back on tumblr but every time some issue would come up and take my motivation and energy. Then two weeks ago, after I couldn't crush the little ray of hope that maybe this time I'm going to see sth I like, I started watching season 2 of Loki. I watched it while promising myself that I'm not going to care anymore if it's bad, reminding myself that I might see sth as bad as season 1. Still I was surprised that I didn't hate it. On the contrary there were moments that were entertaining and even enjoyable. And those moments were more than the ones I dislike. It was better than season 1 and admittedly that's a low bar since I consider S1 one of the worst tv shows I've ever seen, but there were noticeable changes in pace and tone of the narrative and characterization in S2. Some issues in S1 was addressed. Loki was actually the main character of his series and got to do badass magic stuff :D The characters were flesh out and three dimensional and likable(I love OB so much :D). There was no romance. The ending was great.
There were of course things I didn't like. Removing Loki's backstory and his issues with his family from the story is one of them. How some of his moments in past was addressed. The episodes at times got boring or very predictable. There were times that Loki was ooc or comedic moments that weren't delivered well.
It wasn't perfect but at least acceptable. And probably the best Loki content we got since TDW. And I liked the ending a lot. I found myself keep going back to rewatch some scenes. I found myself analyzing the content happily. I had things to say. So here I am :D basically I'm 100% back to my Loki bs and I'm making it everyone's problem :P
Whether you loved the series or hated it, you're welcome on my blog and you're welcome to send me your opinions and engage with me in discussions and metas. I will tag posts accordingly in case you want to avoid certain content(tbh I still don't know what the new tags will be because I haven't written anything yet but I will make a post when I do).
There will be posts of some new fandoms so block their tags if you don't want to see those posts. The new fandoms are Sandman tv show(I haven't finished the comics so plz don't spoil them for me), Wednesday, My Hero Academia, Shadow and Bone, and The Bifrost Incident.
As I mentioned above I'm dealing with multiple chronic illnesses and have a limited energy each day. I will try to answer your messages, comments and asks as soon as I can but it might take a long time. Sry about that.
And finally a warm welcome to all the new followers and thanks to everyone who are still following me❤️

Twice's 10th member gets traumatized by a sasaeng
A/N: Heyyy, I'm coming up with a lot of stuff for you guys so I can make up for the time I'm gone lol! Sry for taking so long to post :D I hope that my friend smit24123 who gave me this idea on Wattpad likes it!
The request: Hi It's me again. I have one where the 10th member was attacked by a "fan"while she was going to the bathroom and after that she traumatized. I like it
PS: Tysm for everyone who reads what I write, I hope I can bring a smile to your faces every time I post! I'd like to thank whoever sent me this idea 'cause I loved to write it <3
__________________________________________________________
The air in the bustling Seoul airport was filled with anticipation as TWICE returned from a successful concert tour in Japan. Among the group's members was Y/N, the 10th and youngest member, who had been on cloud nine after the amazing performance they had just delivered. However, there was an empty space that had once been filled by Jeongyeon, who was currently on her second hiatus due to health reasons.
As they disembarked from the plane and made their way through the terminal, the usual chaos and excitement of fans and paparazzi surrounded them. But TWICE was accustomed to it, and their experienced staff kept a tight protective circle around them. Y/N, however, was blissfully unaware of the danger that would soon shatter her world.
The group, tired but exhilarated, decided to take a brief break before their next schedule. The maknae excused herself to use the restroom, a common practice after a long flight. She navigated through the terminal, determined to make her way to the facilities without causing any disturbance.
Unknown to her, a sasaeng fan (a persistent, obsessed, and invasive follower) had managed to slip past the security personnel and blend in with the crowd. They had been stalking TWICE's sunshine for some time, studying her habits and waiting for the perfect opportunity to approach her. This was their moment.
Inside the restroom, Y/N stood before the mirror, checking her makeup and hair. She was utterly absorbed in her reflection, unaware of the approaching danger. Suddenly, she felt a presence behind her, too close for comfort.
Y/N...
A low, almost whispering voice hissed, and Y/N turned, her eyes widening in shock. It was the sasaeng fan, their face twisted with an unsettling mix of obsession and malice.
The bathroom door slammed shut behind them, and Y/N's heart raced as panic coursed through her veins. She took a step back, her eyes darting around for any possible escape route.
The sasaeng fan's voice grew louder, their eyes filled with an unhinged fervour.
I've been watching you for so long, Y/N. I know everything about you. I even know what brand of shampoo you use.
The youngest's voice trembled as she answered the crazy "fan".
Y/N - Please, just leave me alone.
But the sasaeng fan was undeterred, closing in on her with each step.
I love you more than anyone else ever could. I'd do anything for you, Y/N. Anything.
As the sasaeng fan reached out to touch her, a surge of adrenaline flooded the younger girl's body. She managed to push past the intruder and bolted from the restroom, running as fast as her trembling legs could carry her. The sasaeng fan gave chase, but Y/N's cries for help drew the attention of the airport security, and they quickly intervened, apprehending the stalker before they could reach her.
The unnies rushed to her side, concern etched on their faces. She was in tears, trembling uncontrollably, and her voice quivered as she recounted the horrifying ordeal.
Jihyo, the leader and Y/N's mama, took the girl into her arms, holding her tightly.
Jihyo - It's okay, luv. You're safe now. We're here for you.
Nayeon, mom number 2, called for an ambulance, knowing that her kid needed immediate medical attention for the shock she had endured. The group huddled around their traumatized sister, providing a protective shield and comfort as they waited for help to arrive.
The aftermath of the incident was filled with interviews with the police, airport security, and a growing media frenzy. TWICE released a statement, condemning the sasaeng fan's actions and urging authorities to take stronger measures against such individuals.
Y/N, however, was struggling to cope with the trauma. The nightmarish encounter had left her with vivid, terrifying flashbacks and severe anxiety. She couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and often found herself overwhelmed by fear, unable to leave her room without feeling like she was being watched.
Her fellow members were deeply concerned for her well-being and took turns staying by her side, providing a protective presence and offering reassurance. They were like a family, rallying around their youngest member, vowing to help her heal.
But as the days turned into weeks, it became clear that the maknae's trauma was not something she could easily overcome. Despite the support and love surrounding her, her mental state continued to deteriorate. She became withdrawn and emotionally fragile, unable to participate in group activities, practice, or even the most basic daily routines.
Jihyo and Nayeon, who had taken on motherly roles within the group with Jeongyeon (3mix), had countless sleepless nights as they discussed how to help their child. They were desperate to find a solution and bring their beloved lovebug back to the vibrant, joyful girl she once was.
One evening, as TWICE's angel sat in her room, Nayeon and Jihyo entered, their expressions filled with deep concern.
Jihyo - Honey, we've been really worried about you. We can see how much you're suffering.
Nayeon - We want to help you, but we don't know what to do. Can you please talk to us, let us in, and let us be there for you, baby?
Y/N bit her trembling lip, her eyes welling up with tears. She knew that she couldn't keep shutting herself off from her members who had been nothing but supportive and loving. With great effort, she nodded and began to whisper.
Y/N - I... I don't know how to get over this, ommas.
Jihyo and Nayeon exchanged a glance, their maternal instincts driving them to protect and heal their precious Y/N. Jihyo reached out to take the young girl's hand and answered.
Jihyo - You don't have to get over this by yourself, my love. We're going to find professional help for you, a therapist who can guide you through this difficult time.
Nayeon - We'll be with you every step of the way. We're not just a group! We're a family, and we'll do whatever it takes to help you heal.
Y/N's eyes filled with gratitude and hope as she realized she didn't have to face her trauma alone. She had the support of her TWICE family, especially her motherly figures, Jihyo and Nayeon (Jeongyeon didn't know about the situation till she came back). The road to recovery would be challenging, but with their unwavering love and determination, she knew she could overcome the darkness that had engulfed her life.
The journey was long and arduous, but little by little, with therapy and the support of her caring group members, Y/N began to find her way back to herself. Her nightmares lessened, and her fear started to subside. She learned coping mechanisms and strategies to deal with her trauma, and her strength slowly returned.
As time passed, the maknae grew stronger, and she began to participate in group activities once again. Her fellow older sisters were there for her every step of the way, providing the love and support that she needed. Jihyo and Nayeon continued to be her pillars of strength, embodying the maternal care and protection that she had come to rely on.
One day, as Y/N stood on stage with TWICE, the cheers of the fans filled the air. She looked out at the sea of smiling faces, her heart full of gratitude for the love and support that had helped her overcome her trauma. She knew that she wasn't just a member of a K-pop group, she was part of a family, a family that had guided her through her darkest hours and had brought her back to the light.
And this made her look around with a single thought:
I’ll love my dear older sisters forever.
A/N: I’m sorry for any errors. English is not my first language. Pls, let me know if there is something wrong, ty for reading <3

@bambi-disciple wrote a really good post on BS and if it really works (which ill link to at the bottom of this post), and while i have been on a sort BS hiatus for a little while, i wanted to write a little about some of what i have noticed for me?
At the time when id first run across it, the bimbo and hypno scene were still very cis, het, and essentialist. Most bimbofication material out there was heavily cishet. some the point of being actively transphobic. Hell, tbh a lot of it still feel pretty antitrans... but anyway...
I started listening to BS in April of 2021. I had heard of it before, and might have even listen to the initial release once or twice a few years before but had been a little reluctant to really dive into it. Id played with hypno before (ok, like lots), but BS seemed like it might want to be more extreme than i was ready for and very cis woman centric.
Skip forward a few years, and it wasnt until i started seeing some of the bimbofication and stepfordization creators making more gender inclusive content that instarted feeling a little more comfortable dipping my toe back in.
I am a trans woman. I went on hormones and socially transitioned almost two decades ago and in the kink scene for over three. I knew how to do my makeup and be cute and all those things, but like, i wasnt keeping up with them.
I was needing that internal drive and encouragement to be prettier. To push myself further. So for me it was less about self acceptance as a girl or submissive and more about wanting to be a better good girl. And i figured i might want to check out if BS could help.
Im one of those folks who would check all three of the boxes described by @bambi-disciple - wanting it to happen, beleiving it could happen, ans being aroused by the idea. Even with those they doesnt always mean automatic success. My mind often "stays awake" in trance, i am very reluctant to give up control (even when i think i want to and even to myself), and just a host of other issues which keep me from.being consistent or internal resistance to asepcts to the file. There have been some changes ive noticed tho:
* im much more open with my partners. Im still reclutant or shy to talk about my stuff, because i dont want them to be uncomfortable. But that might be more me projecting on them.
* wearing making up much more constantly again. Almost every day or at least when going out.
* pink. A lot more pink. And much more comfortable wearing pink. Previously it was all mostly black.
* eating healther. I now eat a lot more healthier. Salad are much more common for me. As well dried fruits and the like.
* much more casual in my writing. More willing to make typos and let them slide. More willing to just use txt speak and abbrevations and such.
* more comfort with posting myself on the interent, including a brief stint of doing porn sadly the latest stunt feom my stalker (hi stalker) wrecked the relationship with the studeo i was working with + i simply dont have the time with having to go into work and taking care of the family and home. Still it was super fun.
Those are the biggest changes ive noticed over the past couple years. I havent listen to BS for a few months rn. Im not really sure what my future plans are with it. I will prob stsrt up again at some point, but like i have a lot of upcoming things whjch require a lot of focus. It's like i have this desire to relapse but im holding back? Idk.
As promised, the post link. I didnt repost because it is really long and not under a cut and i wanted to be nice to my followers feeds. Sry. And if u have read this far you should check it out

Sry I didn't read the confessions list until now, you made bleach lists?? I loved reading those as a teen and kept thinking how much this blog reminded me of that one and how nostalgic it was, makes sense in hindsight
Yeah just wanted to say I appreciate your work
😊
Hey, thank you so much! Yup, I’m still doing the list thing just after a long hiatus and in a new fandom. I’m glad you’re still along for the ride!

sry if you’ve answered this question before but will you ever continue your neocities comic ? :3 I whole heartedly love it ever since I discovered it a year or two ago
no don't worry i haven't! putting a cut because this is an extremely long and non simple answer read at your own peril
the reason the comic went on hiatus to begin with is actually that i was starting to feel really weird about the high school setting??? this may sound stupid but shinji was a character i first created when i was 16 and given that i'm now 21 it was just no longer a type of story i related to much or felt compelled to tell. especially now, almost 2 years into the hiatus, i am almost done with my undergraduate education as well, so it becomes harder and harder for me to bridge the gap in my writing. i also feel like the maturity of certain themes i wanted to write about are ill suited to the setting.
additionally, after taking a few months break from writing during a period of time when i was very very unhappy with all my work, i kind of exploded shinji as a character and changed a fair amount of his personality & character motivations. i felt like the way i used to conceptualize him was kind of juvenile compared to how i wanted him to come off, and i felt like i was not setting myself up to do a good job with his personality. if i was to pick the comic back up as it currently stands, not only would i have to contrive in a time skip to get to where i want (that being the characters in college) which would really mess with my previously established pacing and how the events are meant to build (because if the action is supposed to escalate over a few months, why even include all the buildup from 3 years before? just feels like a false start), but i would also have to mess with the tone and stylization of dialogue and how shinji is portrayed in a way that would, again, make the beginning of the comic pointless (imo) because it wouldn't contribute or relate at all to the meat of the story.
another sticking point i have had in restarting has been a kind of silly one-- i have not lived for any significant period of time in japan, despite visiting the university in sapporo, so i feel like i know woefully little about the life of a university student in japan and what that looks like day to day, which would seriously get in the way of a simply aged-up reboot. to the extent that i wasn't sure what the point of keeping it set in japan would even be. like what am i making a commentary on if i'm writing about a college culture i know nothing about? i feel like i would much rather satirize or criticize the college culture in the united states, since that's where i'm studying. also:: the highschool setting was originally meant as a satire on wish fulfillment slice of life manga (including american wannabe webtoons) that is needlessly set in highschool, but in one of those "satire requires clarity of purpose" type crises, i think i felt like i was moreso parroting tropes than saying anything meaningful about them, and the character of shinji was undeniably created out of 16 year old weebery and the fact that i was studying japanese in school and wanted to practice my kanji on people's names 😭.... so i guess to sum THIS point up, the idea of a continuation or reboot puts me in a weird place with regards to setting, as i don't see the value of me writing about a university experience im not familiar with and don't have much way of ever knowing intimately. even though i could definitely still use the lens of general anime escapism and wish fulfillment when writing about a college student, i just don't really know if it's my place at all to be criticizing this phenomenon as someone who doesn't live in japan if that makes sense. like at that point why am i not just writing about american twitter users with hentai addictions who i have much more close and personal interactions with
finally, and this is not so much a major factor in my thoughts here (somehow) but is worth mentioning: the comic was primarily written during some extremely stressful months-years of my life, and i honestly struggle to get in whatever the hell headspace i was in when i was writing it. like what was going on in my brain. a lot for sure
that being said, i really miss writing osk. having a project like that to work on was really nice! i miss the characters (especially the revamped older versions that no one has actually gotten to experience :( ) and i miss how much it forced me to create. i have not stopped thinking about it at any point since i went on hiatus to be honest and i'm just really stuck on where to go. i cant continue it in its current form (i would be unhappy with it) but i can't think of a good way forward either, and even if i restart it completely (which is POSSIBLE and maybe even the most likely option) i really can't figure out how to tackle the setting.
this is probably not the answer you were expecting i am very sorry it is so long. i just have been stewing on it for a while and really wanted to get it all down in one place
