Heyy, big fan of your work, especially your contributions to bushmed. I think it was your blog that got me into this ship in the first place, actually
I was wondering why the dynamics between red Medic/blue Sniper and blue Medic/red Sniper were so different. Would red Medic treat both Snipers the same way?
Thank you so much for your support! I'm very honored to have you enjoy this ship.
Heres the answer about your questions!
Not exactly.
As for RedSniper, he thought RedSniper was one of his most meaningful masterpieces. It was just that the temperament of this masterpiece was not to his taste. He would deliberately make RedSniper angry at times, after all, he still needed treatment on the battlefield. So he enjoyed the feeling of watching RedSniper being angry but could do almost nothing to him.
(In my headcanon, RedSniper has some heart problems. It was caused by technical errors in RedMedic's surgery. Anger and other severe emotional fluctuations will cause his heartache.)
As for BluSniper, at first, RedMedic just wanted to continue his creation. BluSniper was the enemy with him, and he often used this as an excuse to exert his own creativity and research work. But BluSniper's reaction was nothing but fear. He was very confused about why he never got angry like RedSniper.
He tried to figure out why, so much so that it temporarily slowed down his work progress and focused his research on this person. He would try to engage in a variety of behaviors to 'test' BluSniper's personality and reaction. But some things he did were obviously beyond BluSniper's tolerance.
(The collar has the function of distinguishing spies and preventing getting lost(?) At least RedMedic thinks it is useful.)
Thanks for your asking! I will continue to conceive of their stories more fully.
But, just treat all these stories as jokes.
Because THESE ARE ALL HEADCANON!!

I followed your blog from a search on chastity keyholders. I have not read everything (you answer a lot of questions!) but it looks like you keep your husband permanently chastitzed for years? has he ever asked to be unlocked? did you ever unlock him if he asked? and what would you do if he told you that he didn't want to be locked in chastity anymore? would you just unlock him?
I do get this question a lot... I think that a lot of men have a hard time understanding that for my husband and I, in our relationship him being locked stopped being a game a long time ago. That does not mean it's not still fun... it's amazing for the both of us! But him being locked up for me is part of a commitment that he has made, and that commitment is now very important to our relationship... in fact, it's now an essential part of our relationship in such a way that I do not think that it would be the same without it.
Many years ago after we had been playing with keeping him locked up I came to the realization that having the control over his sexuality was exciting to me. But it wasn't just exciting, it gave me confidence about myself and about our relationship. I told him that I wanted 100% control over that part of him. He agreed, knowing that I could keep him locked up for any length of time, from weeks to months, or even longer. He committed to that and has never once asked to go back on that. And even during times when he was not locked, I do not think that he broke that promise to me. That level of commitment and the strength he needs to continue is very sexy, but also very inspiring to me. How many men would voluntarily give up their orgasms because their wives asked them?
So... when men used to ask me this question I used to feel uneasy thinking about it. My husband is almost always attentive and affectionate with me, and he treats me like a queen. He is never too busy to give me some affection, or even to make me a cup of tea while I'm watching tv at night. I love how he has to keep his passion restrained (like he has a choice! 😂). I love how he will snuggle with me in bed every night so I can go to sleep, and how he wakes up in the morning to hold me, and I can feel his hot cage pressing against my ass. I never, ever wanted to think about that not happening. I used to think that if he did ask, I would do my best to talk him out of it. And in fact, I have honestly told him that if he could not wear his cage anymore I would probably still deny him intercourse because I can see how much positive it has brought to our relationship.
But now that we are coming up onto 7 whole years of this, I am more confident that my husband never would ask to end this. Not only does he know how happy this makes me, he also enjoys his role as my devoted knight. He has grown to love the feeling of arousal that he has for me every day. He literally thanks me for keeping him locked because of how it allows him to focus on me and my pleasure. And the longer this goes on... the longer he stays locked for me... the more sure I am that he would never want to go back to how things used to be.

~ EVENT SPOTLIGHT : Videotome Jam - "Waiting" ~
November 16th to December 1st 2024
Videotome Jam is a two-week-long game jam for games made in any of the Videotome engines with the optional theme of "Waiting".
What is Videotome?
Videotome is a series of small homebrew IF/VN engines made by Freya Campbell (communistsister), an indie game developer focusing on narrative games that are usually:
science fiction, horror, &/or romance
close to 100% LGBTQ characters
free/PWYW with low tech requirements
liable to make players keysmash due to feelings
Videotome was first released in April 2022 as a part of a game entry for the Domino Club collective. The initial idea for the engine was to make writing text-heavy games as hassle-free as possible, focusing not that much on the visual presentation format, but more on the writer's experience. It would allow writers to write in a notepad and then it would somehow grab the .txt file and parse the lines into an array, spitting them out one line at a time as a kinetic novel.
At the moment there are four engines available:
Videotome, for linear, no frills text / images / music;
Videotome ADV, adding a more conventional layout with ignorable choices and branching;
Super Videotome, for more fully featured and freeform image/canvas use;
Videotome Heartbreak, adding a stat raising dating sim & storylets structure to the above.
If you're more interested in the process of making these engines, check out the devs blog post - Words, Friction, Syntax: Stuff I thought about when making Videotome. (The post also includes a very interesting case study concerning other game engines Freya has experience with.)
If you want to check out some examples of projects made with Videotome, take a look at this collection. It includes games made by both Freya and other devs.
~ ONGOING (VOTING) ~
The voting for ECTOCOMP 2024 has officially started! To vote and participate as a jury, you must do so by giving between 1 to 5 stars on each entry page of the jam. The voting period ends on November 30.
~ ONGOING (SUBMITTING) ~
A Hallmark movie is a feel-good, family-friendly film, often centered around romance, personal growth, or holiday themes. A Very Hallmark Game Jam with a theme of “Charming Love Interest with a Secret” is also all about that!
Are you a fan of Videotome games? Then the Videotome Jam with an optional theme “Waiting” is for you!
This year’s Yuri Game Jam is in full progress. The devs have until December 2nd to submit their projects.
The Educational Jam is a perfect place to learn something new. Discuss some obscure tidbit. Showcase your insight about a specific thing, your pub trivia skills, or that Wikipedia rabbit hole you went down last time.
Disabled Rep VN Jam has a very simple premise but a very important message.
Once upon a time, a game jam was held to create stories around the theme of fairy tales… and that game jam is the Once Upon A Time VN Jam. It’s running from October 1st to January 31st.
Concours de Fiction Interactive Francophone 2025 is for all French-speaking enthusiasts. Submissions are accepted March 3rd 2025.
Are you perhaps a fan of more somber, melancholic themes? Then check out the Dying Year - Visual Novel Jam! You have until the end of the year to participate.
The Black Visual Novel Jam is all about working with creative professional developers who work in visual novels to bring more Black stories to life. The goal is to create a space where Black creators can show their unique storytelling through visual novels.

It has been a while since I've been able to post because my usual sources for literature are no longer available. I do buy a lot of books, but my access is still limited. I enjoy sharing excerpts that strike me as valuable and make an intellectual impact on me — enough to want others interested in my blog to read it as well.
The reason I am posting this is I would be so grateful if anyone could direct me to online databases for books and academic articles. I have so many followers and I've received quite a bit of messages during the time I've been away. I will continue to search for resources, and I will start scanning through my book collection for anything I have missed, but again, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I will also take more time to reblog.
Thank you to those who are still following me. It means a lot.

It's been 10 years since I first watched Frozen!🌻❄️⛏️☃️🦌
(Swedish DVD-copy of Frozen)
November 20th, 2014. It seems like forever ago. I remember watching this movie through my desktop ASUS PC (remember when computers used to have actual DVD-drives?) on a by today's standards pretty crappy Philips monitor. It didn't matter. The movie was like nothing else I had seen before. Even though I don't even have a sibling and can't fully relate to the conflict, Anna and Elsa's adventure is IMO one of the best stories ever told💕
I was 22 back then. A young man and totally in love with this Disney movie. Now I'm 32 and it continues to be among my favourite movies of all time. Even now, ten years later, I still live and breathe Frozen every day! It is a part of who I became and it is the way I wish to remain 😄
I have become a devoted fan of all things Frozen and I'm trying my best to be a part-time Frozen-analyst, mapmaker, worldbuilder and collector. I'm also known for using too many emotes and exclamation marks!
Below, I have tried to summarise some important and meaningful keepsakes and events from the past ten years. I hope you enjoy scrolling!✨✨✨
I believe this was the first ever Frozen-related pic that I saved (it's the oldest in my album) (April 2015)
I was equally in love with the OUAT Frozen arc and no one can tell me Georgina and Elizabeth were anything but perfect for their roles (April 2015)
🥹🥹🥹
(March 2015)
In just a couple of years we saw the franchise grow (did anyone else prefer the original logo for the musical?) (February 2016)
The official announcement we'd all been waiting for (April 2017)
The architect in me loved the castle! (2017)
I mean, who could ever forget this moment? (December 2018)
AJHFSJASJFKAGKJFGSKFDSGSJF!?!?!?!?!?!? (February 2019)
What are those????? (February 2019)
My first piece of "big" Frozen merch (April 2019)
I made a custom calendar just to count down the remaining days to Frozen II (I also avoided spoilers for the last 6 1/2 months) (December 2019)
🥹🥰😭
(December 2019)
Perfectly balanced, as it should be (February 2020)
Me collecting stuff! (February 2020)
Me going crazy saving as much Frozen content as possible 😅 (August 2020)
I joined r/Frozen (June 2021)
I started my deep-dive into Arendelle's geography in 2021 which ultimately lead to "An odyssey through Frozen geography", the first of many fandom projects! (July 2021)
Together with a group of equally dedicated Frozen nerds fans, I helped building the @arendelle-archives server and later tumblr-blog! (2021)
Collecting more things! (October 2021)
A Frozen comic writer responded to my reddit post?😲(December 2021)
I started developing ideas for a Frozen fanfic (2022)
Frozen III-announcement! Finally! (February 2023)
My Norway-trip of 2023. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful destinations on Earth and a must-go for anyone who wants to visit the real Arendelle!!! (July 2023)
I continue to delve into more map-related stuff in Wonderdraft (May 2024)
Together with the rest of the wonderful folks over at @frozen10fanzine, I helped create and design a fanzine summarising the memories of Frozen fans from the past decade! (July 2024)
A slice of my current Frozen collection! Some figures were very kindly donated to me by @yumeka-sxf 🙌 (July 2024)
And lastly, from today: the first snow of the season❄️🩵
If you made it this far, thank you for scrolling😅
Finally, a little shout-out to friends and acquaintances I've made through the likes of reddit, discord and tumblr in the past few years:
@bigfrozenfan @yumeka-sxf @greatqueenanna @queenritaofarendelle @saiten-gefroren @snowflaketale12 @cloudberriesforaqueen @theartoffrozen @secretsofthestorymakers
A big thank you also to the whole @arendelle-archives and @frozen10fanzine - teams! Y'all continue to inspire me!

Love this blog already!
Anyways hot take, just because someone used something to hurt you, or someone of a group hurt you, doesn't mean that thing isn't necessarily real
A endogenic system hurt you? Well shit! That sucks i'm so sorry! You... Suddenly decided that whole group of people isn't real because of that?.... that ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE aren't real cause YOU were hurt by a SINGLE one of them (or a singular system)
We aren't a hivemind, i cant stop whoever from hurting you???
Same goes for other things! Like Tulpas! And System Travel!!!
It just gives the same vibes as when i was a edgy 12 year old and decided i hate EVERYONE because a few people were shitty to me
.
#thank you for enjoying this blog!#we hope you will continue to enjoy it!#THIS ENTIRE POINT THOUGH#like I've seen so many anti-endos go “omg an endogenic system abused me so I hate all of them”#that doesnt mean they are all abusers#just that one fuck that hurt them#seriously like its getting old#member of x group hurt me so they all suck and i hate them now#no get over it the entire group is not at fault for your trauma/falling out/hate because of what happened#endo friendly#plural community#pluralgang#plurality#pluralpunk#pro endo#mixed origin system#traumaendo#endogenic safe#syscourse

Gyjo in the fandom
cw: light discussion of ableism
Gyjo… what am I thinking about gyjo…
I like them. I like them a lot, actually. They have paralleled narrative arcs, they complement each other nicely, the romantic subtext is incredibly obvious to the point that even the most homophobic fan you know will admit they understand why people ship it… so why do I also have a problem with it?
There’s a lot of good fanart. Hell, I’ve reblogged plenty. Maybe it’s just something that’s more pronounced in fic.
I’m trying to word this correctly. My issue with gyjo has nothing to do with the text itself. I think my problem is just how people portray it in the fandom.
Maybe it’s because it’s so popular, or maybe it’s the sheer prominence of applying ‘Character A’ and ‘Character B’ dynamics without considerable regard for the characters involved, but I feel gyjo is very prone to flanderization. I believe the intersection with how ableist people are toward Johnny (intentionally or not, subtly or not) and the old tropes these two get shoved into makes it so I have trouble enjoying fics in the fandom.
I’m not saying it’s bad to enjoy certain tropes. I’m not saying headcanons are bad either. What I am saying is that writing is hard, but if you’re going to write fanfiction please have consideration for the characters you’re writing. The arcs of these two are complex and multilayered, which is why I think they have such staying power, but I also think they also provide a good opportunity for us as writers and artists to examine our biases when it comes to the portrayal of certain groups, personality types, mental illnesses, queerness, disability, etc. and maybe come out better people for it.
#gyjo#steel ball run#sbr#jjba#very rough idea of my thoughts concerning their portrayal in the fandom#imo there’s weird implications in any situation where gyro is written as johnny’s doctor or some such since it presents many power issues#again: what I am Not saying is that you can’t have a medical kink or whatever it may be#it’s just that#there’s a prevalence of ableist presentations of Johnny in so many ways but for me it’s especially bad in gyjo fic for whatever reason#perhaps it’s people continuing to write heterocized power tropes for a gay couple#on top of an already complicated presentation of disability and mental illness in the form of Johnny#(thanks Araki)#and to be honest gyro is not treated much better. he’s usually very ooc. I think its probably due to just how much he changes that#people could just find it easier to pick a certain aspect of his personality and make that the whole thing#but I just don’t enjoy the gyjo that’s in the ao3 tag. and I want to emphasize there *is* good stuff by people who do treat these topics#with respect#but it’s not the norm which makes it just not enjoyable to check out the tag#at least to me#vent post#kind of#my posts#gyro Zeppeli#Johnny Joestar#ugh I don’t even know why I’m writing all this#to reiterate this is me talking. on my blog. please don’t hate spam or w/e

I want Shard and E-123 Ω in the same room
Oh man. That'd be chaos.
From what I know of Shard, his verbal spar with Omega would be LEGENDARY. They've both got smart mouths on them, with Shard being the more witty and fast-talking of the two. They'd be arguing the entire time they fight.
The physical spar would also be something to see. I imagine that when they first meet, Omega would genuinely be trying to destroy Shard, but after they get more acquainted (they're both too chatty to let the misunderstanding go unaddressed forever) I imagine that they fight just for the hell of it whenever they happen to be in the same place. An outside observer would think that they're each other's nemesis meanwhile they're just catching up as they argue back and forth and dodge each other's bullets.
Their most common point of contention is over who the superior robot is, of course. They also get on each other's nerves a lot- Shard is way too mouthy for Omega to tolerate for long, and Omega's too gruff and single-minded for Shard's style.
They wouldn't be besties but they'd have a bond deeper than people might think. There's a bit of that shared background of former Eggman robots that now hate Eggman that makes it so they just can't hate each other. Like, they'd never show it, but they'd go out of their way to help each other out as long as they won't get caught doing so.
When Eggman builds another Metal Sonic, Omega and Shard have a fight beforehand to see who gets to destroy it first!
#thanks for this ask!#Shard is an honorary blorbo for me#I will never be that interested in the Archie continuity but come on. how could I NOT like a redeemed version of Metal Sonic?#also to the asker- I see you checking out my blog(s) and I wanted to say thanks!! I'm glad you're enjoying my work#Shard the Metal Sonic#E-123 Omega

Psst, dunno if you already knew, but askgiegueandcrew is posting again. They're also making a fan fiction reboot of the story. Thought you might be interested. (I do enjoy seeing you go crazy in the tags)
*deep breath*
WHAT
WHYYYYY DIDN'T TUMBLR NOTIFY ME THAT @askgiegueandcrew IS POSTING AGAIN
also yes I'm totally going to check out the fanfic
#okay i am glad ppl enjoy my cogdis tag ranting bc like#since i started cogdisposting i've made an effort to share my thoughts & reactions to All cogdis fan content on tumblr#bc i know it's discouraging when u share the fan art/writing/etc you poured effort into and only hear radio silence#so i decided to Be The Change I Wish To See In The World#plus when certain cogdis blogs disappeared i became a liiiiil bit obsessed with Collecting the fandom lol#and like. CogDis is my favorite game and it's SO underappreciated so i want to help keep its fandom alive#i just really like seeing other people appreciate CogDis too#hopefully my... uh... effusive style hasn't been too offputting to those unfamiliar w/ it lmao#it's kind of a relic of early-2010s online fandom culture -- most of which wore out its welcome and was abandoned as 'cringe'#i'm happy to see that nowadays (at least on tumblr) there's a kind of neosincere re-embracing of that old unabashed expressiveness#(see for example 'cringe culture is dead' 'i am cringe but i am free' etc.)#then again maybe tumblr is just one of few places where that expressiveness never left?#generalizing about social trends without representative data is always a risky business#okay i'm way off track. the point is THANK YOU (anon for letting me know and askgiegueandcrew for continuing this masterful project)#cogdis#...

Having of those moments where I wish to yeet the like button into the sun or maybe make it so there was setting you could turn on so that people can only reblog posts (even better with the minimum requirement of adding at least one tag)!!
It's kind of absurd that one of my fics is getting close to 500 notes while simultaneously being one I've had the least actual human interactions come from. Like...... come on, that's now how it should be AT ALL!
Don't get me wrong, I'm so thrilled people are clearly finding it and I guess enjoying it(??) but just having endless likes without people letting me know what they enjoyed about it or even if they liked it kind of makes me sad. That's not why I want to share my writing here!
I love having those little human connections with others. I don't ever want my writing to feel transactional. I would love to talk to more people about things I've written. It's truly one of the best feelings and I would hate to lose that, the more I write or the more notes my fics get. Please don't be shy!! I get the social anxiety, but there is no reason to be. I am truly just a Din Djarin obsessed loser.
Anyway, whine over. I don't want to focus on the negatives here and I appreciate every single person who has ever left a positive interaction with something I've written. You are truly a light!
#i don't JUST like posts too often#really the only posts i dont reblog but like are to save for later or if it's too personal/explicit#or i guess i have nothing to add and OP has said it all yknow#but if i see some writing or art i love then hell yeah i always force myself to add at least one tag i like just so the artist/author sees#otherwise it feels like a hollow transaction and i really want people to know i appreciate their art more than just pressing a button yknow#and I KNOW it's intimidating at first to interact with others!! TRUST ME i get it and i'm still awful at it#but just one little comment can make someone feel so good about their writing... why wouldn't someone want to try that at least#especially if you enjoyed it!!! even a key smash or a string of emojis!!!#and the death of the tumblr tag is SO SAD because where else am i meant to talk to you lot?#i mean these tags are longer than my actual post and that's the beauty of tumblr#you don't have to perceive me down here but you can if you wish and i love you for that!#and it's a nice way to organise your blog to make it navigable for others#ANYWAY said i was done whining and continued whining down here so there's that LOL but i always want to interact with more people#please do not be afraid of reaching out to me! scroll through my blog for 5 seconds and you'll see what a nerdy loser i am#akdjgds i mean aren't we all here#spud rants#writing#but thanks again to anyone who leaves nice comments im giving you a (consensual) forehead smooch MWAH

#in the simplest terms#I've decided this just isn't for me anymore#I might come back at a later date to offer a more in-depth explanation#but every time I try to gather my thoughts on the page and detail my reasons for leaving it becomes overwhelming#at the very least I needed to make it known that my bigbang blogs on tumblr and twitter are now closed#I will not delete anything but I no longer wish to be an active participant in the fandom#or continue the conversation -- any conversation -- about bigbang and its members past or present#I could have quietly faded into the background#looking on from the sidelines largely disinterested and disengaged#as I have done for the last month or so while I silently prepared myself to finally fully let go#as a certain someone once said: I've already withdrawn#however#rather than disappear without a word I wanted to make it official -- and final#because I value closure#and I might have a few followers left who do too#to everyone who ever enjoyed the content of my blog. my work. my voice.#and especially to the few who stuck with me through thick and thin#thank you
