#thank u for asking me this anon this made my day!

if you could write a reboot of reanimator, what would it be like?

everything is the same as stuart gordon's from 1985 except there is even more trans and gay subtext (like the colors are hidden in the background or the colors are used for lighting), dan and herbert make out for a very long and uncomfortable amount of time after the injection scene (which is added back in), and the SA scene is cut 💚

Hi! Your art is so incredible! Especially the way you draw Talon Dick! His design is so good!

Anyway, just wanted to say that! Have a lovely day :)

ah thank you! <3

i do love this angsty bird, any excuse to draw him lol

Servant Sun could be confortable if lord Eclipse decided to hug him??

Since he said he loved his "god" (im surprise if a Sun is confortable enough to hug a Eclipse)

LOVE THE CENTIPEDE GOD DESIGN

AAAA THIS IS SUCH A FUN ASK ANON ILY !!!!

I wouldn't exactly say comfortable, just... accepting.

Despite his insistence that he is truly and wholly devoted to Lord Eclipse, I think it'd be hard to ever truly get comfortable in the arms of your god when you have a bug phobia and he has shifted his body to mimic a centipede LMAO 😭

Plus, Lord Eclipse is more likely to hug Sun unconsciously, which might actually make it dangerous to move away or point out what he's doing! Lord Eclipse would probably be humiliated.

... but! if Servant Sun did get a real actual genuine hug from Lord Eclipse, it'd probably just lead to a lotta confusion LOL

As a fellow skin picker, the things that help me may sound a little silly. Stim toys, long sleeves and high collars, trimming or growing out fingernails depending on what makes you less likely to be able to use them, ignoring mirrors when I know there is a trigger. Gloves, sometimes. (Most recently I tried acne patches and the physical barrier was useful.) Also don't be hard on yourself, just keep your skin clean and treat your wounds (rubbing alcohol or hot water to sanitize, plus a tiny amount of whatever cut ointment you have). You probably have some of the same coping skills already but you aren't alone in this. I hope some of this can be helpful.

oh wow anon thank you so so much for taking the time to give me all this info seriously youre too nice !!! 😭😭🫶🫶

stim toys or having my hands be busy fidgeting with other stuff definitely helps (and ignoring mirrors as well, its something i do a lot to deal with my disphoria as well) but i had never thought about always keeping my nails short for this AND i especially had no idea about treating wounds and cleaning my skin :((( now i feel like its super important but id never thought about it/no one had mentioned it before :((( so really thank u so so much for all the tips and info im super thankful 🫂🫂❤️

its really nice knowing theres other people going through this and im not alone ^^

[definitelynotshouting]

Hello I’m here!!

Raaah I meant to talk about the latest chapter sooner but I kept forgetting :,))

But anyway! This chapter really hit home for me and I really resonate with Grian, and I feel so SO scared for him at the same time. The idea that he’s so dead set on hurting himself so badly and mumbo has no idea - along with the rest of the hermits - is very scary, and very effective.

And the fact that they’ve already witnessed him trying to hurt himself in such a way and they’re all trying to cope with that is so. It’s so good. The way you show how each person is dealing with Grian’s attempt is so good because you’re showing them all experiencing different forms of grief.

Mumbo yelled because he was afraid. Tango is trying to help Grian any time he can. Scar is trying to make him laugh. X is dead set on finding a way to save him. Pearl is upset with him. It’s such a good way of showing that grief can manifest in so many different ways, and no one is perfect- they do things like yell because they’re scared, or overstep because they want to help. No one prepares you for grief, and you do an amazing job of showing that.

I can’t express how badly I want to hold Grian’s hand. To me he feels like such a lost soul that feels there’s no hope for him. I have so much sympathy for this depiction of him.

It feels so.. “doomsday” to me?? If that makes sense? The way Grian talks about wanting to go outside and experience the sun and the grass and the sky for one last time before he leaves for good. I feel the bittersweet feeling he must be feeling; not wanting to hurt his friends’ feelings but simultaneously feeling like there’s no other option for him and he just has to do this, so he wants to have a good last day.

It pains my heart so much but in a good way- this is all extremely /pos I cannot express that enough. I think it’s so impressive that you’re able to capture such intense feelings through writing- that’s seriously incredible and if what I’m feeling when reading your story is what you’re after; you’re doing an amazing job!

Ok, I don’t want to overwhelm you so I’ll stop there- but needless to say I’m super excited to see where this story goes and I hope you’re doing well <3

- binge reader

BINGER READER ANON MY HEART....... ohhh this is such a sweet ask and im so unwell abt it /pos

Words cannot express how happy i am that you're resonating so hard with my fic 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i feel so honored to be touching people's lives with this, i literally dont know how to articulate how much messages like these mean to me. And im just!!!! So pleased that you like what im doing with all these varying depictions of grief!!! From the start i truly wanted to explore different reactions and what i felt these characters would do when placed in such a fraught and urgent situation, and im indescribably glad im hitting the mark on what ive been aiming for.

Its been really enriching for me to explore all these myriad reactions to grief; i remember when i first wrote Mumbo in chapter 3, i was a bit worried about the potential reception-- but it felt so right to let him express his fear through anger. And with Pearl, ive loved taking a deep dive into her own fear and trauma and letting it play out in front of Grian during this situation. Literally everyone is so fun to dive into for all the reasons you've said-- Tango is in fix-it mode, Xisuma is pinning all his efforts on one desperate hope, and Scar is deflecting and trying to buy as much time as possible just to keep Grian alive a little longer. Their various reactions are so important to me, especially in how, like you said, nothing truly prepares you for grief-- and it often manifests in unconventional ways. Its been a real treat to depict that, and its something that i feel has some overlooked merit in the emotional realism department that im glad im able to bring to the table

Im truly so touched by this commentary, so don't worry about overwhelming me!!! Im just so genuinely happy people are getting so much out of my writing, its all ive wanted for such a long time, and finally being able to really reach people with it is a dream come true❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[c00kietin]

Silly, probably really amazing irl too! You are actually someone who I would like to get along with, if that means something :>

But honestly…I think you are pretty cool! Super cool even >:3

Keep it up, you super awsome and crazy cookie 😄

I just. have no words honestly this is so kind ;v;

I know I always say this with anons but I do hope I find out someday who this is because the ask made me smile so much <3333

[malleleothreesome]

YOUR MALLEUS POST IS JUST!!!!! AGDKFFLSVFL!!!! WHO KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES I RE-READ THAT THING BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!!! 😫😭👌🖤💚

I'm so late to this but thank you so much Knight!! 🖤💚🖤💚 I'm so happy you enjoyed Blindfolded Malleus... I was so excited for you to read it, and I'm very happy it lived up to the hype and anticipation!!! Truly, I am so honored and grateful that you would re-read something so long 🥹 it amazes me how supportive you are!! I hope I can continue to write things that you enjoy! One day in the [regretfully] far future I swear to you that I will put out an Idia fic just for you hehehe. I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of things I am excited to write, but I guess that is a wonderful problem to have! I only wish I had more time in the day to write, but alas, such is life. Why the fUCk am I writing so formal right now daiohssadoi;hdSAO not me saying BUT ALAS. SUCH IS LIFE????? It is so.

I'm actually taking a TWELVE DAY vacation from work starting on the 22nd so I might actually do a little request event where people can send me like kink prompts or something. I think that'll be fun!

Okay and FINE I'll do some fluff prompts too for the fluff people but please don't judge my fluff too harshly, I'm still learning!!! For some reason smut just comes naturally dhaDSAHIDDASijdsan I'll start gathering some prompts and we will do a little ask game or something.

📣 By the way FELLOW HONEST THIGH RIDING ANON if you SEE this first of all, ONCE AGAIN: I wish to express my undying devotion to you and your exceptional thought process. I am positively frothing at the mouth over your request and I am PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE I am finally making good progress and it WILL be out soon. We WILL make him cum in his pants. We WILL make him cry, whimper, and moan.

[sforzesco]

Allow me, if you will, a moment to go absolutely rabid over your blog and everything that goes on here. I’ve always loved history but the USA hardly likes teaching anything that isn’t American History. I’ve forgotten how much I love WORLD history, specifically the rise and fall of empires.

I’ve been smothering myself in your posts and I love it ALL. JC, Pompey, Crassus, Sulla, Octavian, Antony, Cassius, and Brutus. Wow what a mood. You don’t miss on your references or your modern AU’s and I’m over here like- I’m trying to buy whatever web comic you put out, book you write, etc.

Also, if you’d be so kind to list some material with like themes to start breaking into these topics. Preferably materials in English or translated materials.

HELL YEAH LET'S GO

if you really want to start on the ground floor for breaking into something, I'd recommend my personal favorite approach which is picking the figure that's most interesting to you, reading through plutarch's biography on them (free! online! in english!) and then putting their name through a jstor search and reading whatever sounds fun.

other than that, the primary theme I've been wandering around in lately, so these are the materials I've been really enjoyed related to that:

The Deaths of the Republic: Imagery of the Body Politic in Ciceronian Rome, Brian Walters

The Game of Death in Ancient Rome: Arena Sport and Political Suicide, Paul Plass

Ideology in Cold Blood: A Reading of Lucan's Civil War, Shadi Bartsch

Statius and Virgil: The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid, Randall T. Ganiban

Rome, Blood & Power, Gareth C Sampson

I also have a comparatives tag where I play connect the dots with texts that made my brain go brrr

[ladytauria]

I decided to read some of ur older works instead of going for my monthly The Sweetness of Honey reread and????? Script: Flipped is phenomenal and i know u havent posted in that series since 2022 but if u have any more info or background on the 'verse then I am desperate to hear it 🙇‍♀️ especially bc u listed jaytim in the series description and I desperately need to know how that goes down!! Who initaiates! What is everyones reaction!! That one line about how easy it would be for tim to manipulate jason into going rogue with him after the Felipe situation but wont because he has a family who loves him haunts my dreams!!

No pressure tho, everything u write is phenomenal, and I'm having a great time ♡

omg has it really been that long…

script: flipped… that was the first time i had had momentum for a project in… over a year by that point, so it’s still near and dear to my heart! i do have a couple of fics finished/almost finished for that series, but as i’ve written more for the fandom & thought more, there’s actually a few things about that series i’d like to change (among other things i’d like to work in the slow build jaytim better), so… i’ve been putting off editing & posting ^^;

i’m really happy that you enjoyed it!!

& i’m more than happy to talk about my plans <3

(disclaimer: it’s been a hot minute since i’ve read red robin so there are gaps in my knowledge)

the next fic chronologically would have been brucequest, which likely would have been multiple chapters. jason is the one who sees a picture of bruce in wayne manor, but in the wrong time. he does a little more intel gathering at the library/various other places, and then when he’s sure his theory is solid, he goes to tim.

mostly bc he knows damian has a lot on his plate with being batman & taking care of dick. tim agrees that it’s worth looking into so. they decide to check it out. i’m not sure how much they tell the others 🤔

this is where things get fuzzier for me bc i remember doing a lot of daydreaming & not a lot of writing things down or planning, lmao. but they spend a lot of time alone together, just the two of them, which does absolutely nothing for jason’s crush—and helps tim to start to see jason in a new light. (well. he’s already started, but it helps him see it more, you know?)

in most of my daydreams i imagined them getting together while (reluctantly) working with ra’s. practically i’m not sure how that would work, especially given tim’s history with them. i think tam (or… tiffany? i suppose? she’s older, right? i may keep tam tho just because i’m slightly more familiar with her character) still ends up being caught and used as a hostage, basically.

this is when feelings are realized and maybe confessions are had, but they can’t really. *do* anything about it until they get out <3

how the rest of the arc is resolved is going to depend on how closely they end up following it dhsjhdjd

and then after *that* i suppose there would be explorations of how they make it work as a couple & the family’s reactions 🤔

hmmm…

i think that covers most of what i’ve thought through lmao.

if you have any more questions i’m happy to answer them!!

[whump-queen]

For the ask game: I would describe your blog the way one would describe a sour candy--wonderfully shocking, mildly addicting, and eventually leaving the thick stinging taste of blood in the mouth, mingling sweetly with citric acid. Another warhead on the tongue; another red-toothed grin...

Anon OMG this absolutely made my day!!! This is so beautifully written!! I want this ask framed on my wall⚡️💖✨

[narugen-moved]

Hello I haven't touched tumblr in YEARS but I am coming crawling back purely because of you hsmn fics cause I want to read all you posts. you have CURSED ME my good sir /pos

HELLO!??!?!! THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER RECEIVED IN YEARS WHAT THE HALE?

[khaotunq]

As author or as gif maker, have you ever got a comment that stayed in your head? Either positively or negative? (Have you ever received a mean comment?)

Very little stays in my head, first and foremost - I've often joked that if I'm not actively doing something, the inside of my head is like an empty elevator.

What I enjoy about this ask is the emphasis on asking about negative comment - I like the slight disbelief that anyone could ever be mean to me. Whether you meant that or not, it's very funny to me.

Yes, I've had mean comments over the years, but not a huge amount and I do put that down to mainly staying out of main fandom spaces. I've met plenty of people I adore through fandom spaces, but I'm way too awkward a person to do anything but hang out on the periphery - little I've created has ever attracted any interest or attention whatsoever, so I've never been of particular interest to anyone trying to be mean for clout.

That said, specifically about my writing and gifs: writing-wise, I've had one or two comments that have stuck with me over the years - one from my English teacher telling me I wasn't any good at writing (both academic and creative, woop!) and I then went on to fail those exams, another from a dear friend who told me I needed to learn grammar if I was going to write (gleefully disregarded, but appreciated in hindsight), and for some insane reason there's still a comment that haunts me at very weird points in my life about someone telling me off in the comments of a Teen Wolf fic I wrote years ago because I think I'd made a character both a shortstop and a cleanup hitter and that wasn't ever likely to be the case. I still haven't fixed it, and they weren't rude about it at all, but that comment does just float into my head occasionally.

On the flip side, I occasionally get AO3 comments that turn me into a puddle of jelly because people get bloody poetic at me sometimes. I treasure every single comment I get on a fic, but there were two commenters when I first started writing SandRay who wrote comments half the length of my works and I often go back and read those. Ao3 users hroncynning and schiannath, you know not what you've done but your words have impacted me more than mine have you, I guarantee.

Gif-wise, I can't say I've had anyone be mean about my gifs, specifically - at least, not that I'm aware? I did have one person being shady as fuck at me about my alt texts and captions, but they got summarily blocked. I've had at least three people thank me in their tags for "bothering" to do alt texts (wild considering how unhinged mine can get), so that makes up for the one person who sucked.

Someone did inbox me today to tell me my OFTS/Ray sets are coloured prettily (was that you?? Lmao. Two anons in two days is unprecedented on this blog), which is a lovely thing to say.

I also still very often think of this post, which someone submitted to a Teen Wolf fandom confessions blog. That post is 10 years old and still absolutely floors me. I hope the person who submitted it is living well.

[painfully-unoriginal]

You have singlehandedly gotten me into dan vs. I have actually scrolled through your entire tag for it, but I'm trying to limit what I reblog so that you don't get spammed. Also i wanted to tell you that your art is amazing! I know you've expressed that you don't like your old art as much (which is relatable 😔) but I really fucking like it! It's amazing. It's actually ppl like you that juuuust barely keep my own trembling finger away from the delete button on my own old art because I realize that even art that I personally hate now bc I know I could do way better could still potentially hold sentimental value to someone else. Obviously this doesn't mean you can't delete it if you don't want to, because I get it, but I did want to say that I think it's great and even if you redraw it I still think the originals are awesome. It'd be like seeing your baby grow up- the 'grown up' version may be better technically, but that doesn't mean you want to throw out the baby photos. Anyway that is all I wanted to say! Thank you for this new fixation.

holy shit thank you so much, this is such a kind message and i really am bad at responding to things like this but i always hold messages like this very close to my heart 😭😭i appreciate you sm !!!!!!

[aromanticgarbage]

You are right, very common tattoo. Was just curious as she looked familiar too so maybe had some cool meaning.

But who knows right, and I know, privacy and all. Sometimes curiosity kills the cat at night when bored lol

And thanks for replying! You're cool and love your shares.

(Sent link separately so its not out there)

I replied to your other ask but ye it seems like this artist did a lot of those designs. I don't know this lady but she seems pretty cool. Thank you for enjoying this mess of a blog hehe <3
