#thanks for reaching out

I saw in your intro post you said you don't follow blogs that don't list their age but you have also forgotten to list your age🫶 I guess you implied you're 18+ lol but it's still nice to know if you're comfortable sharing

For me doesn’t necessarily have to be a specific numerical age, just something that indicates someone isn’t a minor. So ‘I’m 18+’, ‘20s/30s/40s’ or even ‘I’m not a minor’ are all acceptable. I’m not bothered about knowing people’s exact ages, just that I’m being a responsible user and not exposing minors to inappropriate content.

I put “Legit teen in the actual 80s = definitely not a minor” to illustrate that I haven’t been a minor for quite some time 😉, so nobody has to worry about me following their blog or be concerned about what I post. If you do the numbers, you can work out that I’m between 48 and 57, and I will reveal that I’m not at either end 😊

I don’t put my specific age partly for security/privacy reasons but also because I don’t want people to judge me on it or freak out. For me, creativity, being a fan or being friendly has no age limit (nor should it), but I think if people see it in numerical terms and then compare it (intentionally or not) with, say, their mom’s age it might make some people uncomfortable about interacting or sharing. One of the reasons I love it here is that things like age, appearance, nationality, dis/ability, employment, family circumstances, etc. are pretty much irrelevant, and it’s what you contribute to the fandom and how you treat people that’s most important. IRL I have friends of lots of ages (and have besties in their 30s and 80s) and I’m happy to extend that to here too.

Having said all that, if you still really really wanna know an exact figure, pm me and I’ll tell you 😜

I keep wanting to write another HH fanfic but I am so scared of it being historically inaccurate

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Some of us are sticklers for anachronisms, but unless it's blatantly out of place, I don't think it matters. HH is in and of itself wildly inaccurate (don't get people started on the so-called "Tiger" tank!) Heck, the show wasn't even sure where Stalag 13 was! (Next to Dusseldorf? An hour away from Berlin? Near Switzerland?) As long as you don't put D-Day on November 1943, or decide that Switzerland is fighting in the war, you should probably be okay. But if you're worried, here is some advice:

Be vague. If you, say, have a scene with an airplane, don't mention what type it is beyond a bomber or a fighter unless you're sure it exists. Someone once put in a certain type of fighter that wasn't in action until the end of the war, for instance, and that stood out.

That's my tactic anyway. It I don't understand the specifics of something, I try to be vague when talking about it.

Google is your friend! If you really want to add something and are not sure if it belongs, google it. Don't go overboard. You don't have to. I'm one of those people who google everything, down to the origin of particular phrases. 'Cool' for instance wasn't all that common until the 50s outside certain niche subcultures. But no one is going to say "FLAG ON THE PLAY! That turn of phrase is offensively modern!" (I did, however have to call out "You suck!" once since it had a widely different connotation in the 1940s).

Anyway, if you're really worried about it, find a Beta Reader. Abracadebra is super encouraging. She often betas for new writers. She's pretty busy though. But you can reach out to anyone. Even me, although I'm not very good at constructive criticism.

I hope you do write another fic. We can use all the participation we can get!

hi, i was a previous victim of ultimatehater/realultimatehater, i can go message you off anon if you wish

i have a gif aesthetic side blog and in my main blog i post media edits. i posted a gifset from each hh on my main, and reblogged some of them to my aes blog bc i have more followers there.

anyways RUH sent my over 50 death threats that i decided not to acknowledge at all. i did delete them so i have no evidence. many of them felt ai generated, just generic 'your edits are ugly, no one likes you, kill yourself' messages. nothing really outside that, i didnt receive any doxxing/rape threats

anyways i DID answer one ask, and then she proceeded to claim i somehow edited the ask???? that is literally not possible, and more concerning people believed it???

BUT ALSO before ultimatehater was deleted, if you went back enough to her blog, you can see her original url was a bunch of numbers. before getting to hazbin discourse she baited scott vs the world fans, calling them pedophiles. it seems she just wants drama and rn she's making some bold statements in her new blog, that i'll be completely honest and also is just my opinion, i think she is lying.

I feel the same thing ngl.. i don't like to discredit someone's trauma but shes been copy pasting the things she's said to me and then sending them to other people unedited. I genuinely think shes a troll, and attacking random people with fandom blogs hoping to lure in and harm a child. It seems that way from the types of media she obsesses over (hazbin hotel/helluva boss, she ra) ive never heard of scot vs the world but id guess it's probably in that same category tbh. Im really not worried about her claiming to doxx people, claiming to add people to a hit list, i dont believe it. What i do worry about is children interacting with her and thinking she is legitimate. Thats what i mean by luring children. Shes goading people into responding to her and hoping they take her seriously. Children online who watch shows like hazbin hotel (most likely with unrestricted access to the Internet) are EXACTLY the type of "im more emotionally mature than my peers" type of kid that gets pushed into these harmful and frankly predatory groomer esque situations. Even if she's a troll and this is all fake, traumatizing children isnt. She's trying to perform a power play on these kids who are just beginning to understand themes like rape or abuse or racism or brutality and care about them so emotionally as children do, and trying to use it against them. Trying to hurt them

[getitoutofmymindwrites]

ALRIGHT. FALLING!JOEL. LET’S GET INTO IT.

why did she come back early from her business trip, huh?? 🤨🤨🤨

Weeeeeeell...

I think that needs its own little one-shot 👀

P.S. There are two more deliberate blindspots to the story 😏😏

[bravenew-what]

hiii i missed you!! happy to see you again 🌿 (i still remember all your houseplants 😅) sending a big hug and take care 💖

Hi!!! Good to see you again! Hope all is well 🥰

[wolfboy88]

I’ve been having a really hard staying in this fandom. I’ve been on the outside looking into the thiam fandom for so long and wishing to have engagement with other writers, but it’s not happening . I don’t know how to get over the hurdle of just writing for me.

I go back-and-forth all the time about if I should find another fandom, but then I worry it might be me that’s the problem here.

Anyway, I’m telling you this because I would like to believe that I’m not the only person that’s felt isolated in this fandom and I wanted some advice . Writing has saved my life in a sense and it’s hard to break away from 

First of all, I just want to start off with that I’m sorry to hear that you are struggling and feel isolated. That really sucks and I do hope it gets better.

Now, I’ve been contemplating about how to answer this ask since it hit my ask box this morning and I’m gonna try my best here but I might not be the best person for this.

I’ve been in this fandom for 2.5years now and I will admit when I first joined it was a little daunting/intimidating seeing all the connections and conversations already established between other blogs.

But I think the big thing is putting yourself out there, being active in rebloging others posts as well as your own stuff and participating in the various ask games and activities that circulate from time to time and send asks to the blogs you want to build a friendship with. Of course not every game is gonna be your cup of tea and there’s no rule saying you have to play all of them. I just found it helped me connect with other blogs and build a rapport.

I also recognised some of the blogs from the authors fics I read/follow on Ao3 and comment on their works. Trust me, us fan fic writers love when someone takes the time to comment on our work and we do notice/remember usernames that pop up frequently in our inboxes.

And the important thing is to remember it takes time to build the rapport. It’s not just gonna happen magically overnight and you will have to be patient. But Without knowing how long or what you have tried already makes it a little tricky to give you advice but these things were things that helped me and I hope that has helped you some.

Also, if you want to have more than one fandom, there’s no reason why you can’t.

Plus there is a thiam discord if you are interested. @ksbbb are you able to attach a new link to this post?

But most importantly, and as much as we all crave the views and the kudos and the likes and comments and validation, fanfic writing is supposed to be fun. Escapism for some of us. And if it’s helping you, please don’t stop or give it up.

If you wanna keep chatting, my inbox is always open or you can direct message me if you like.

[raycatzdraws]

Don't mind me, I'm just losing my mind over the fact that one of my fav' artist (YOU) had reblog some of my art 🥹.

I'm Always too scared to talk, so i'm sorry for not interacting much.

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH RAY !!!

😭👌 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

aaaa ///;v;/// meeee???

You're one of the people I see regularly in my notes, so thank you for the company. I like to pop in and see what people are up to.

Your header's always stood out to me. The watercolors 💙 I'm glad I found the art it goes with!!! It's such a nice collection of gentle moments which I think is what encompasses one of the things I love most about the chain. Snapshots of each of them enjoying themselves. Existing together and feeling comfortable to be and find themselves in that space. Idk man it's nice. I think you captured each of them well.

The wonderful art in question! Go check it out! I've also seen you draw the whole chain together a few times which is impressive. That's,, ashfjsd that's a lot of guys!

[scottsummersevents]

Hey! Just a heads-up that all your links in posts and on the side of the blog are broken now that you've changed your URL :''D (I didn't know you did, as an aside, and the way I said "NO!" out loud like an X-Men character when I thought your blog had been deleted. Good adrenaline kick. Need a drink.)

Thanks for letting us know anon. Sorry about the scare. We figured we'd change the name to open up the door to the variety of events that we've been hosting beyond the bingo itself as we want anyone who loves Scott to come on in and join us for all the fun times we're having with other fans. From here on out we will be scottsummersevents.tumblr.com and we're sorry for the abrupt name change. The links in theory should be updated to reflect the changes, but if they aren't then please don't hesitate to let us know and we'll get right on it! Thanks again for the info and sorry for the shock! Hopefully you had a nice drink and can breathe easy in knowing we're still here ;-)

Omega Lo’ak would definitely be sth worth waiting for…

Omega Lo'ak would be the ULTIMATE brat!😈 It would take a strong brat tamer alpha to reel him in🥴. I'm so excited😄

[loveless-scribes]

I tired sending this as well to you before the new year, but I understand if you were busy. Here you go!

"Hey love! I just wanted to check in and wish you a happy late Christmas and happy new years and I wanted to check in and just send you a bit of love after seeing your post.

Now I know there is no amount of words or good things I can say or give that can make your holiday's an but better, but I wanted to let you know that even though you stopped writing your writing is one of the things that got me through the year.

I loved your depiction of the characters you wrote for the Quietus and even the small writing prompts you did for a time on the side. This year was really rough I have gone to five funerals and two of those were family pets and I can not tell you how much reading your writing helped me get out of a ditch deep in the night when I was in so much pain.

Your advice to go to therapy actually lead me to finally getting diagnosed at the late age of 21 and I am fully medicated and feeling like I have a better grasp on life finally!

Even though I haven't seen anything so far from you I just want you to know how much your writing helped me through 2021-2022 it has been such a journey and I hope the new year for you brings new connections and new tides and I can't wait to see what you do coming into my senior year at college."

Have a fantastic day and may your day be ever brighter!

T_T

Thank you so much ❤️

I'm sorry for everything you had to go through and thank you for reaching out. So glad that therapy has been helping!

Honestly, when all else fails, the idea that my writing might help someone else feel a bit better in this unhappy world, if only briefly, keeps me going.

I hope only good things come your way going forward and am sending you lots of love! ❤️

(So sorry I seemed to have missed this the first time, it wasn't in my inbox either? Let's blame Tumblr for this one XD)

jsyk that tiktok vid where that person pretends to be blind with glasses & a cane is pretty ableist, disabilities aren't a funny costume

I get you

Hi my friend!

First off I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful Puss in Boots fanfiction. Every new chapter fills me with joy and I have been following it since you started! I've seen some of the fanart Swanpit made for you and I was just wondering... could you guys maybe try to collaborate on some illustrations for the fic? Maybe you could also get some of the other amazing fan artists to help you give an artistic touch to the story? That would be literally the best thing ever!

I send you lots of love and support for your next chapters and hope the story will end well!

From a fellow Puss in Boots enthusiast. ❤️

Aw, thank you for your kind words! It’s really nice to hear you enjoy my work and have been an avid follower~ 💖

While I do absolutely love your illustrations suggestion (and wholeheartedly agree it would be the best thing ever!), I don’t want to impose on anyone. For instance I know Swanpit is already swamped with projects and while I utterly ADORE their work I wouldn’t want to add to that pile. But if anyone was interested in doing a collab of some sort with me I would totally be down ✨ (seeing anyone do art of my fic always motivates me to keep it going 💕)

Thank you much for the love and support, and I look forward to seeing what you think of the next chapter! (Also I promise you there is a happy ending in mind [I cannot stand a sad ending myself, so I don’t want to subject anyone {myself included} to that with my fic], so no need to worry about that 😆. I will, however, definitely be putting you all through just a little bit more torture~ 😇)

[miqojak]

I'm so tickled that your character has a nickname that includes their tribal letter, because mine does and I've always felt a little selfconscious. C'rrah and C'rr are obviously nicknames Rrahsa got after leaving home-- her family calls her Rraa-- but I worry people are going to think I just don't understand naming conventions. Kinda curious how Jak got her nickname, is that a secret OOC or just IC?

Hello there! Thanks for popping in! And it's just an IC secret, really - funnily enough, I've had lots of people be shocked that's not her name in game, ha! But no, after all the Bad Times™ with being in a Garlean concentration camp, before escaping to the big city with her twin brother... she didn't want to be the person who got hurt, anymore; the girl who was tortured and experimented on and lost her whole family - who had to become someone else, and do things she hated to survive, and escape. So in almost all ways, 'J'kesri' is a deadname for her! Only two people know it - her twin brother, whom she no longer speaks to, and her lover, Ketsuchi - who is also using a name that's not his given name, for similar reasons! - and only one of those people gets to use her old name... you can guess which one, I imagine! When she went to pick a new name... well, J'kesri became 'Jak' - she just sort of smashed the J and the K sounds together to make a new name that was an amalgamation of her old one... plus the Jackal is her tribe's totem animal, and is VERY important to her, and this new name was very close to that. (When first on the streets, she just went by 'Jackal' for a while, really - it was easier that way - to be a 'nameless' thief.) But there's a lot of hurt tied to who she 'was' - and in a way, she's learning to accept bits and pieces of who she 'was', again, learning to have some compassion for her old self, and see that it's okay to be 'Kesri' in the right time, and place, and not feel quite so hurt by her past... but that's still a long road to walk.

And hey, don't worry too much about what others think - they'll find out ICly if they're really interested in your OC, after all - and what's more fun than exploring this stuff IC? Having characters get to know the hows and whys of who each other are is kind of the best part! (And if they judge a book by their cover...well, that says more about them, than you!)

[getitoutofmymindwrites]

will the next chapter be just context like before he got caught or after joel and lady talked? 🤔

Hello, anon!

The next chapter will be Joel’s POV and it will take place after that night, including some flashbacks from the past!

It is coming, Friday, 16:00 (GMT)

[justgoji]

i just wanna say, for the record, that I love your art!!! its really pretty and I'm not even really a vocaloid fan but I always enjoy seeing it on my dash :] please dont stop making/posting art just because it "flops"!! I've been there before (I once got *negative* points on a drawing i posted to reddit (back when I still used reddit)...) but i feel like I can just *tell* how much passion you have for your art in the drawings ive seen and I'd hate too see you give up! you got this!! i believe in you!!!!

Thanks. It really means a lot. I put a lot of love into my art, and I’m glad that what I made has made you happy. Also, you wanna know the surprising thing? I’m not even into vocaloid that much I just like the synth designs ajsjekdhsjhfjsjdsjs I’m more into prehistoric animals

[ladymunson]

It says something about the people I call my friends irl, when people on tumblr reach out more than they do.

🍻

Here’s to cutting them out of my life

✂️

Thank you to all of you who reached out, for being so kind. Here’s to us!

🥂

(Cutting them off has been a long time coming.. like 30 years too long)
