#that's what happens when you hyperfixate on a ship and are also not normal

[danganronpa96]

Hayasaka

Do you know how insane I felt seeing this trend on tiktok and only thinking "that's Hayasaka!!! that's fucking Hayasaka!!! the suit and the tie and the glasses and the hair!!!! it looks like the one fucking sprite!!!!" and only seeing a few people also make that connection

Anyway funfact! Did you know Kurumada was originally going to be a taxi driver? Yeah that's why he has 'kuruma' (car) and 'michi' (road/path) in his name.

So, considering this image comes from a game called 'Taxi Master'.... do you see where this is going...

[yanderespamton78]

sometimes i feel like toby fox made spamton and the addisons especially for people to hyperfixate on. everything about them seems so perfect for people to go rabid about its insane to me

for one, spamton himself pretty much counts for 4 people, those being addispam, big shot spamton, in game spamton, and spamton neo. now sure you mostly see people going rabid about in game spamton but ive seen plenty of people who are obsessed with a version we dont get to see on screen

secondly, even the main in game spamton himself is kinda up to interpretation. loads of people characterise him differently. if i compared two aus to eachother theyd often be very different and depending on the ones i chose could be almost like 2 different people, and then if i compared those to in-game spamton, theyd still be very different. also since you dont see addispam and big shot spamton on screen you dont even know what they acted like so again basically you can make your own guy to fixate on with a few prompts as to what he was like

dont even get me started on the addisons. now im biased as fuck here seeing that ive been fixated on the addisons for like 6 months now (send help) but toby fox basically gave us 4 templates for us to have fun with. sure based off of in game dialogue you have a bit to go off of when it comes to their personality (pink being an asshole and blue being caring for example) but even then every addison in every different au is slightly different and i have never seen two addisons turn out exactly the same. ALSO you dont even know the relationship these characters have to spamton meaning you can have them be siblings, you can have them be friends, or you can ship them based off of what you enjoy. OR you could just ignore them altogether (which a lot of people do lmao)

also another thing is the fact that you dont necessarily need to have your addisons' personalities just reflect off of spamtons. I mean the main 4 addisons give you enough to go off of to make your own, and you are given cyber city, an entire fantasy world for you to put them in. cyber city again is up to interpretation, some people have it be like a normal city, some people make it a utopia, some people make it a hellscape. the choice is yours!!

and even then in game spamton is so versatile. he is perfect for angsty stuff, fluffy stuff, or jsut silly stuff, and none of it is out of character. you couldnt really make an angsty spongebob edit could you, itd be weird and out of characer and no one would take it seriously. but also you couldnt make a silly walten files video, sure people do but its out of character and wouldnt actually happen canonically. but spamton on the other hand. hes the kinda guy who you can draw holding a wallet in his mouth like a cat and generally being silly but also you could draw him sobbing at the bottom of dumpster and neither would be out of character!! AAAA

also extra thing i thought id add but his backstory is also very up to interpretation, like i dont think ive ever seen two people who think spamtons rise and downfall went exactly the same. sure everyone has the same general idea of how it went but some people believe in acid theory, some people believe in puppetification theory, some people have a mix of both, some people have their own idea of how it went down, and with that you can project different parts of your own trauma onto whatever happened to him.

ok sorry that was so long thank you for reading my very biased ramble about why spamton is perfect byeeee

[wachtelspinat]

Mr Wachtel i want to eat your midnight crew and problem sleuth fanarts(especially boxcars), ALSOO..

What do you think about HBxDD? do you have a favorite ship between MC and PS too or headcanons?

OOOOH BOY hello midnight crew related asks

first of all thanks a lot, really appreciate it. these boys are still very dear to me and i miss the mc fandom times a lot 😭

i've been through a lot of ships here and there regarding the mc and the sleuthes, and my heart especially melted when reading @eyeballjazz 's "hello, my lovely" (which has a wonderful portrayal of boxcars and pickle inspector aaaa and comedy and fun and please go read it).

as far as HB/DD goes, i haven't read anything as far as i remember that made it make sense to me (which is also a bit due to the fact that i see DD as a very miserable man and boxcars as someone who is a lot more empathic and able to see the good things in life and he deserves better 😭😭), which ofc, doesn't mean that i'm against it, i'm against no ship, we're all just playing with dolls here.

having been very slick-hyperfixated most of the stuff i've read and thought about was ofc SS/snowman or /sleuth...

but i think my fave ship is SS/DD since forever... my headcanon always has been that droog is so. hard. in love with slick but he would never let that interfere with the big picture. except when droog is droog and acts like the b*tch he is (meaning being EXTREMELY petty towards people in slick's life who happen to be more than acquaintances aka sleuth, snowman (but he actually has a lot of respect for her that borders on fear. because no one is a match for snowman and no one can piss on her leg and sees the light of the next day) etc.. slick on the other hand is not romantically in love with droog. but he know. droog is his right-hand man after all, bffs in slick's opinion, if slick is even capable of sth like a normal human relationship. so it goes like:

DD >>> would do anything for his tantrum fit of a boss.

SS >>> knows exactly what's going on but lets the man do his thing, indulges in physical stuff when he's drunk, doesn't acknowledge any of this when sober again, much to droog's dismay.

there is so much more aaa

had big feelings for DD/PI too but ever since i've seen eyeballjazz's vision of HB/PI nothing else regarding these two made sense to me anymore.

((Some Extra blog lore under the cut, tw: mental illness, breakups, death mentioned))

I have loved Dethklok/Metalocalypse for 14-ish years now and never really admitted it. I started this blog to cope with the worst breakup of my life after a difficult living situation, and realizing how many years I’ve lost to severe mental illness. I’m normally a pretty private person due to fear but I’ve been thinking a lot about who I am and what I’m doing with my life. I want to share my interests with people and I just want to stop being anxious or embarrassed about things I’m passionate about. I am very weird and also listen to music constantly, play a lot of video games, and I’m trying to get back into playing music/singing.

I felt really alone when I was younger, at school, at home, and I would watch Metalocalypse and wish the boys were my awesome friends. I did have 2 close friends in high school, but they just kinda ‘didn’t get’ Dethklok, or I just didn’t really have the energy to share. Well now I’m back for a third hyperfixation go-around and I’m not holding it in anymore📢📢

Not to sound ‘brutal’, but I could (go forth and) die at any point from anything (my allergies, falling pianos, meteors, etc.) and I am just done worrying myself sick, wasting years over things that won’t happen, past trauma that’s not happening anymore, religious anxiety, people I don’t know or people that don’t exist. I hope this blog helps me heal. But yeah, welcome to my cesspool of weirdness!

The Unlimited Ultimate Life Form

And why a sonadow kid created by Eggman would be the most dangerous and amazing thing that ever existed.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Listen, what I'm about to tell came from two months of midnights thoughts and a sudden hyperfixation on sonadow, so be patient and walk with me.

When I got too much into a ship I ended up creating a fankid or a OC (happened with bkdk, zosan and others) so let me introduce you to Star the Hedgehog.

Star is the result of one of Eggman's many attempts to create something capable of defeating Sonic. He mixed Sonic and Shadow's DNA into a near-nuclear combination of Chaos Energy. She would be a creature made of pure energy, but something was missing. Raw power alone was not enough to defeat the hedgehog, Eggman knew that. If he wanted this to work, he would need someone not only capable of matching Sonic, but surpassing him. That's why he added something else: his own DNA.

And that's how Star was born. A black-furred, with purple highlights hedgehog with Chaos Energy running through her veins, super-speed in her legs, and the I.Q. of the smartest human being who ever lived. A masterpiece, if you ask Eggman.

But before he could use her power properly, Sonic and Shadow discovered what he was doing, and upon seeing that innocent baby would be turned into a weapon (something that made Shadow's blood boil) they practically kidnapped the baby girl and disappeared. And now they have a child.

Star grew up as a normal kid, and to someone who was created to be a science project, she was pretty chill about it. Despite having a very similar appearance to Shadow, she is very similar to Sonic in personality (same speed, same adventurous nature, same hyperactive energy). She likes to spend time with her friends and family, explore Mobius and race with her dads. Of course, she still needs to use Inhibitor Rings to control her Chaos Energy, but other than that, she's pretty much a normal kid.

Except she's not.

She is smart, so damn smart, in a way that's not normal. No kid is supposed to learn to read by herself, no kid is supposed to correct Uncle Tails inventions, no kid is supposed to understand enough about science to correct said invention, especially when she's five and especially if she's right

She asks questions that no child should be asking. Questions about life, death, power and, her favorite, speed

“Have you tried to run at the speed of light?” She asked Sonic one time.

“Why would I want to run at the speed of light?” He asked back.

“Have you tried?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“I don't think that's possible, dear.”

“But if you never tried, how do you know it's possible?”

Sonic gave her a funny look, the one you give to a curious child. “Do you want to run at the speed of light?”

Star shrugs. “Maybe one day?”

“Why?”

She looked at Sonic with big green eyes, not a single hint of confusion and said “So I can become the light.”

She was six.

And Star knows that she's weird, but while she couldn't bring herself to care, she also likes to pretend she is normal. So she goes on adventures with her friends, goes to school, and spends time with her family, and if her brain starts to tell her these amazing little evil ideas, she goes to run alone and just stops when the train of thoughts stops too.

And there's something beautiful and tragic when the child of the hero looks too much like the villain. Yes, she's a kind, brave girl, that when frowns looks exactly like Shadow, but if you make her laugh, it's like you're hearing Sonic too. But sometimes she gets quiet, eyes numb, then looks at the sky like the stars are keeping the secrets of the universe from her. She understands more than a girl of her age should understand. Her brain races at a speed her legs can't keep up, hungry for something she doesn't know what it is. The universe is at her fingertips, a play of chess she already won before starting. A little genius, alone at her throne.

Until the day she meets Robotnik.

She knows who he is and he knows who she is. They don't fight, contrary to what she expected, but instead stare at each other. It's like looking into a twisted mirror. A vision of what you could have become, to god or bad.

“Have you ever thought about your limits?” He asks suddenly.

“My what?”

“Your limits.”

“The things you can and can't do.”

“Well, I'm not a good singer, if that's what you're asking.”

The doctor gives her an irritated look, not in the mood for jokes. Star decides she doesn't want to hide what's going on in her head from this man. Not from the mad scientist who created her.

She takes a moment to look at her hands, and after a beat, answers.

“My limits are where I put them. My Inhibitor Rings, the speed I allow myself to run... these things are walls I've built for myself, but they're not my limits.

“So you can go beyond that?”

“Why would I want that?”

“Why would you not want that?”

The man took a step forward, and Star found herself in his shadow. The irony was not lost on her.

“A normal creature can be exceptional in at least one aspect of their life, but I created you to be something else entirely.” He said. “Power, speed, intelligence. In the world we live in, having one is nothing if you don’t have the others. Now look at you. You’re the one who said you limit yourself, and still haven’t realized it? You were not made to have limits.”

When Star finally looks up, she finds Eggman's gaze shining in a way that makes her blood run cold: madness. Pure, unspeakable madness. This was the look of a man who was beyond sanity, but it wasn't his gaze that scared her, no, it was the realization that if she didn't watch out for herself, she would end up like him.

What a shame, the only one who could understand her is also the only thing that she doesn't want to become.

But she doesn't say this, instead she laughs.

“You're crazy, Dr. Robotnik.”

“And you're just like me, Hedgehog.”

Then they laugh, a laugh that just mad people can laugh, and if he runs away that's fine, they will have plenty of time to fight.

But now Star knows, she knows what awaits her on the other side of the madness lurking in her mind, but she won't let it bring her down. She won't become a black hole, destroyed by her own power.

And maybe one day, when Eggman and her parents are no longer around, she decides it's finally time to break her own limits. She takes off her Inhibitor Rings and starts running, faster and faster until she disappears. Faster than sound, faster than light.

Because she wasn't meant to have limits, so instead of letting this power destroy her, she disappears and lets her madness carry her across the universe. Like a shooting star. Like the Unlimited Ultimate Life Form she is.

Hi!

I think I have to move on.

You may have noticed that all of a sudden my posts have become less and less frequent. That's not on purpose I simply don't have the motivation to keep this ask blog going. I made this blog at the peak of my TADC hyperfixation because I knew it would give me the boost to work. At the start I made like, what? 2 a day, wowzas! Then it became like every other day posts. It's not that I don't enjoy the blog, the ship, the asks. Hell, the asks were the best part of this, I love just seeing what you guys come up with for these three and I get to do the even more fun part of drawing the answer.

But I still have no motivation to keep this going. And I have fixated on something else if you follow my main.

So, thank you for being here and still liking my posts even if I hadn't posted often. This was the most fun I've had and being my first ask blog I ever created just makes it more important to me.

I probably won't ever revive this blog but I'll keep it open for you. And if you want to see what the story I originally planned out was gonna be then check below the cut! Or if you wanna stay curious and theorize then just scroll by. Thank you again, hope ya have a great day and year. I hope my shit was at least okay to you.

I'm not gonna lie. Most of the stuff was just created along the way of drawing. I was like, huh this would be cool let's add that in. And ofc I didn't get to any juicy lore in this but it would've been rushed because I didn't plan beforehand... which you probably could tell xd

For Pomni, here's the plot twist: she's dead and her conscience was updated into the game to keep her somewhat alive. She worked in the place that created the game, she even took part in putting people in there. The entire game was just an expirement to test if immortality was possible, but of course.. everyone goes insane in there so they have to keep on and keep on trying with more and more people to get anywhere. They wait until someone goes to edge of absolute insanity and that's when they take them out of the game, their bodies are still kept alive and they go back to normal. They forget everything that happened while in the game. For Pomni she died just after her conscience was converted to the game, for others they were forced to go while alive. Who killed Pomni? Well, her boss, the head of the experimentation. Why? Idk 😭

For Jax, I gave him a dark story. He was isolated in his home and kept away from the outside world, which is why he lacks empathy, because he simply doesn't know how to feel that way when he never really had knowledge of emotions outside or even inside his home. His father was emotionally and physically ab4sive so.. that didn't help. He latched onto his mother the most but they never saw eachother often. That's all I had for him in mind.

For Ragatha, she lived in the country on her own land with her husband. Yup! She had a husband and a daughter too. Husband was a total jerk and she couldn't leave because she didn't want their kid to experience separated parents. She's a doll in the game because it resembles the doll she made for her daughter.

I also had some plot that I made up in my mind. Like.... Pomni at the end would be the last one alone in the digital circus. That being since she's dead she would just be yknow. Dead if she left the game. Jax and Ragatha leave but only because Pomni forces them. Again don't know how, I probably would have made it up while I went along with the story. So, Pomni is just there alone, with Caine. And she lives like that for eternity. She doesn't go insane anymore and it isn't as lonely as it used to feel like. It would feel like home kind of. But she would be there, longing for her partners forever unless she decides one day to just. Yknow, die..

Also since Jax and Ragatha would forget everything after they leave the game, they just don't remember they were in a relationship and would live their lives like before. Sad and lonely.

Goodness, I forget I make the most sad stories ever sometimes 😭

Talkin about clay under readmore bc im unwell about him.

Clay info is pretty much all here

Clay is trans masc and before this whole thing started he did actually wanted to have a family and whatnot. Of course he sorta cant since the whole "the visitor" thing going on. So thats why hes sorta reallly spoiling the kids that sam brings in (sophie, joel, and rat kid)

Clay was actually sorta a weird average joe, just a big geek with horror stuff! It just that its sorta a big hyperfixation with him and he yaps and yaps and yaps. He was currently trying to find a job before alla this weirdness happened

Is socially awkward with others. Often saying things without thinking and has a loud voice issue.

Has attention issues and will zone out if he doesnt like the topic or the person! Has zoned out during dans ramblings too many times.

He isn't really that close to his family but when the start of this all happened he did message them and tried to call them. But they just never replied to him. He does talk about worrying for his family a few times.

Been hopping jobs, often getting fired and whatnot.

Does not know what he wants to do with his life and by god this situation made things worse for himself. He thinks he wasted his life even if his weird body horror obsessed self dream came true

Does seem sorta really weird when you first meet him, due to how attentive he is but he just likes noticing small things you do! + socially awkward lol

Hes actually very lucky in the sense he hasn't got hurt that much and sets traps to defend himself and try to stun cursed with his camera. So game wise, he has killer agility! But to even it out he does sorta have shitty defense. He would be a good sorta counter attacker/support type of person. Basically help trying to inflict stun and then attacking or setting up a trap and let someone attack him and BAM get hurt yourself. I am still thinking game wise but like he is smart and lucky as hell with surviving due to being a big fan of horror games fhdh

Has no sense of danger until the ending of the game and if hes in your party to fight. He really does enjoy the body horror and just gets oddly excited about seeing the cursed! And i also said hes deadly lucky with his encounters. Only thing that really bugs him is how the children are roped into this and it kills him inside. If hes recuited and was brought to the tooth family he would probably cry about the younger brother.

I ship him with hellen and leigh due to him being a horror fan, hellen is actually pretty nice with kiddos, isnt really disturbed with Leigh. And just oddly interested with both. He does personally like them and enjoy hanging out with them! Poly shipping go brrrrr

Tempted to make him scared of the bug centered cursed for funnies bc it be silly

Tempted to make a special event with him where he could be a cursed if hes left alone in the apartment. I got a design in my head that would include glass, cameras, and stuff like that. But im still working on it!

Accidentally spoils horror games with dan without thinking and then apologizes the whole time.

BIGGG FAN OF Screamatorium, Catafalque, Frogit About it, Wake the Blood Knight games.

Has a big eating problem where he doesnt eat much normally. Little event happens with sam and him where sam notices and basically tries to help him eat more which oddly helps

He likes thinking they are like his children even if they are sams children at this point fhdhx

[dickpuncherdraws]

okay hello this is kind of a long-winded story but your most recent zukka yuri reminded me of it

so i was in some kind of online lesbian situationship with this girl we'll call R, we tried to meet up irl like three separate times but one or both of us had to cancel each time. ANYWAY, over the summer i was rewatching atla and getting really hyperfixated on it, and i would send R these really rambly voice notes about it and she would respond despite having never seen the show. and like. i started shipping zukka

not really in the zukka fandom anymore (not because i don't like it or anything, just bc i've been swept up by a load of other hyperfixations lmao) but at the time i was a REALLY BIG FAN. like i was planning an entire rewrite of the show where sokka and zuko were girls. like it was severe. then miraculously i found your blog, the holy grail of zukka yuri. i sometimes sent some of your art to R just for fun on like whatsapp and shit. we kind of bonded over it??

then, christ. we had each other's adresses bc we were going to send each other christmas/birthday cards. i cannot stress this enough: CARDS. like i was fully certain on my bday i was getting a lovely CARD from R. so you can imagine my surprise when i got an entire package from another country. and like at first i was really excited bc in what crazy world does the girl you like send you a birthday present from abroad? then i opened it.

sitting on top of 2 novels was a cut out, on shitty A4 printer paper, of butch zuko.

i opened this in front of my MOTHER.

so i metaphorically shat myself, laughed the art off like "haha R must think i really like zuko! aha. ha" and then had to be normal while looking at the 2 entire novels she had sent me along with like a collage of magazine cutout flowers??? which was really beautiful but also a lot???

anyways, we're not really together anymore. the spark kind if just fizzled out.

but i just wanted to say sorry bc R probably didn't pay for a print or anything so chances are you didn't profit from this shenanigan which is a tragedy tbh.

i don't think R will ever see this but if she does... dude that was like the funniest thing to ever happen to me. in hindsight. at the time i had never been so embarrassed in all my life. lots of love? ❤

your art is amazing mr dickpuncher. yuri on.

sincerely,

anon

THIS IS SO FUNNY HELP 😭 the shitty printer paper cutout of butch zuko im fucking dead. bro i could never be mad about that LMFAO if anything i am so honoured that my art is being used to enable lesbian situationships 😌🫶🏽

[aroaceacacia]

Hello! A friend has sent me in your direction to ask my bothersome research questions! (context being: I'm doing a project for school about how aro and ace characters are portrayed in formally published fiction verse in fandom, focusing on MCYT because-> my hyperfixation)

The questions:

How do you think the fandom's feelings on (romantic) shipping have changed over time

When and why do you think those changes happened?

How, if at all, do you think that history has affected how we deal with shipping today?

Something tells me that you might have some personal insight on the aroace parts of the fandom (why such a high proportion and/or writing characters as aroace) I would love to hear them! And if there's anything else you want to add I really appreciate it, thank you!!! (I have a list of people I will be sending this ask to, if you feel compelled to point me towards anyone I absolutely must ask that would also be appreciated. Thank you again!!)

omg hi I might be able to help! but i admit ive been fairly disconnected from mcyt for a while. All views expressed are my own and may not account for everyone elses perspectives or even statistical data

really when talking abt shipping I can only really start with 2019 at the earliest but mcyt has a longer history than that (i was a yogs fan in 2012-2014 or thereabouts but didnt participate in fandom and then didnt get back on the mc boat until 2019). also I think the youtuber shipping culture has had an influence on shipping as well.

anyway. mcyt fans even now are very skittish about shipping and a lot of it, as of 2019, was rooted in the anti-rpf culture we saw post-septiplier. i think. I never watched either of those guys. But it was this sense that RPF and shipping can Ruin Peoples Lives or friendships or whatever. (I think it's more nuanced than that.) And of course the infamous callmecarson serious stream in 2019 when he told off his stans for writing a danganronpa AU fanfic of him and his friends. I think that started a lot of negativity toward fans engaging in fairly normal fandom things, people extrapolating things out of what he said a bit. The nature of being a mcyt fan is that you're almost never a fan of just ONE thing within the genre so of course the sentiments branched out a lot into other fandoms.

Then with dream smp we saw the rise of the "boundaries" concept: fans asking creators what they are ok with and not ok with. And I dont hate that idea in concept but I personally dislike some of the execution. (I think fans should recognize on their own what a creator should and should not be privy to and take necessary precautions to keep potentially sensitive things hidden/separate from other fanwork. I dont think we should be asking them these things directly bc it just exposes them to it.) I dont think Dream was the first one to talk about boundaries, but he was the first one to provide a full detailed list of boundaries that I know of. In late 2020, he was also the first creator to suggest/introduce the bang path ! to denote the fictional characters being discussed on the Dream SMP, so that nobody thought he was actually abusing cc!Tommyinnit in exile.

But the fictionalization is important because over the past 2 years or so fans who disliked shipping said "these are real people", and the rise of clearly defined roleplay ("lore") in MCYT spaces allowed fans to say "these are characters". (In reality it's kind of both. It's like kayfabe I think. I'm not into wrestling but its kind of like that I think.) So then you have some fans shipping some creators whove said they're ok with it, some fans not doing it at all, arguments over whether less lore-heavy servers are RP or not. It becomes a minefield. Hermit fans create a boundaries list that says the only Hermits you can ship together are Rendoc and ONLY if you ship them with each other. The funniest development from this era was, of course, writing c!Tubbo and c!Ranboo (who were canonically married with a child) as "platonic husbands" simply because the actors were both 16-17 at the time. They were actually groundbreaking teen parent representation and we should respect that (silly!)

I think the biggest turning point for Hermit/hermit-adjacent fans was actually Third Life, and I'll say it loud and proud: Flower Husbands walked so everyone else can run and I'm soooooo serious. I remember when people tried to "/p" (platonic) flower husbands. Having Jimmy and Scott, two adult men, roleplaying a married couple in a series where every person was storytelling to some extent was hugely important. FH and Third Life in early 2021 gave fans permission to engage with the story as a story, with these characters as characters. Treebark cropped up a little later (we were simmering toward the end of 3L's run and then had such a great summer that it really began to crystallize in Aug/Sept of that year. Shoutout to Redacted) but was really only able to do so because of FH, and because of the way Ren and Martyn RPed so much.

Hoo boy this is getting long SORRY. I think by 2022 and 2023 Tumblr audiences specifically were getting tired of self-policing all the time and really started to just say "fuck it we ball block tags if you have to" and embraced a "what were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament" type of attitude. Specific catch-all tags for shipping started to emerge. On the other hand, twitter audiences stayed fairly conservative with shipping - they did Not like it one bit. This is still a problem in some corners of the MCYT fandom over there, afaik. Personally I think this is in part due to lack of a real tagging system; this is also why I think "duo names" exist as a kind of alternative to ship names (also because of standom crossover). The other aspect here is proximity to creators: everyone and their mother has a Twitter account, but Tumblr is our house, and if they want to play with us, they need to understand our culture. Twitter is more interested in keeping things clean in case the creator sees it because in all likelihood they will.

Quick sidebar to mention QSMP, which had several on-screen, developing roleplayed romances, including dates and a wedding, and all of them were gay and involved people from different cultural backgrounds. I just think that's neat. 2023 was a wild time.

All of that being said...... I actually dont feel like shipping (or the lack thereof) and its history has a very significant connection with aroaceness. I can see how the bunch of terminally online young people who gravitate toward MCYT content are more likely to be aroace than the average person just because it's a very queer fandom overall (I genuinely dont think a single friend I've made in this space is cishet). I can also see how MCYT content overall is kind of "safe" if you're averse to sexual or romantic stories in the media you watch, because most of the time, MCYT creators arent super comfortable roleplaying their cubitos making out with their friends on screen for an audience to watch (MythicalSausage and most members of QSMP nonwithstanding).

I feel like, from my experience with the fandom, rather than engage with these characters as asexual or as aromantic, it's sort of a de-sexing: either they are off limits, or they are Schrodinger's Sexuality, because they're a Real Person and it's weird to headcanon Real People. If they're a real person then they should be married to the person they're married to IRL, and we don't know them, so instead it's like sexuality does not exist. But the creators are still making dick jokes anyway. And that's because sex is a joke and isn't real 😁

Again, QSMP is a bit of an exception I think - I recall Cellbit's character being canonically gay and asexual (the creator would later come out himself as asexual). <- Some fans kind of ignored this/didnt touch on it, other fans deliberately included it as an aspect of characterizing q!Cellbit and his relationship with his husband. Mikethelink also said once that his character was off limits for shipping, I think?(because Mike is IRL married and his partner was an occasional guest and presence, shoutout Barb), so fans often interpreted this as q!Mike being an aromantic character. You see a lot of interpretations of q!Mike and q!Pactw where they're in some kind of queerplatonic relationship, sort of as a result of that. I cant talk about QSMP without mentioning jaiden jaidenanimations. I love u queen xoxox

Oh my god wait how could I forget the queerplatonic emerald duo era. Wasnt there discourse about that (people trying to ship queerplatonically because it was seen as less egregious than shipping romantically)

Anyways I think double life is a deeply aromantic series and I love the divorce quartet. Shoutout messy relationships and choosing who you want to be with under the terms you decide with yourself and the people you love.

EDIT TO ADD: i think tumblr culture has been more accepting of RPF as of late i think the next big development will be a rise in genuine mcyt RPF shipping. we saw some of that in the dsmp era (just bc that fandom was huge at its peak) but ever since it's been fairly fringe. I dont think itll ever be mainstream but i feel like we'll be seeing more RPF in the next couple years to come

Psst, you!

Hey, hey you! Yeah, you! I've got a question for ya. Do you feel normal about SCC (Sweet Cap'n Cakes)?

-> Yes -> No

[❤️Yes] [Ohhhh, I see. You're in denial, aren't you? ;)]

[❤️No] [Aha! Just as I projected- I mean suspected! Suspected. Yeah.]

Well, I've got some GREAT news for you! Have you ever felt saddened by the lack of SCC-centric fanfiction? Specifically the kind that depicts them as brothers instead of bandmates or partners (no shade to those depictions btw)?

No? Shut up yes you have /j

Yes? Fantastic! Well, no, sorry that you're sad :/ BUT! Be sad no longer! For I've come to save the day!

In the form of my newfound SCC hyperfixation!!!

That's right!! I've been going crazy about The Guys™️ for the past week or so, but to my absolute SHOCK, there are hardly ANY fanfics for them!!! And almost all them revolve around them as a SHIP! And no offense, but I just don't like reading about ships all that much, sorry!!! :(

SO!!! How am I going to fix this dilemma, I wondered? But THEN! I remembered something!! Something very, VERY important:

'Oh yeah I'm a fanfic author.'

Is this me implying that I'm now writing a bunch of SCC fanfiction in a very roundabout way? YES YES IT IS! :D

In fact, I've already posted one on Ao3 and have turned it into a 'series'! By that I just mean that the 'series' is really just a place for me to dump all of my SCC-centric fics. I'll link the series here, BUT I'll also be cross-posting most, if not all, of those fics from Ao3 to here on Tumblr!

Oh also link btw:

But why am I talking about it like this on Tumblr, you ask? Introducing it in such a way when I could have just started posting SCC content? For two reasons!

One: Idk I just felt like it

Two: Because!! It has come to my attention that hardly anybody on Ao3 even reads SCC fanfiction.

And no, this isn't me begging for like... kudos or subscriptions (or followers, I guess it is on Tumblr? Idk I don't use it much) or anything like that. What I AM asking for is for people to read it. Not because I want to get popular, but because...

I am very self-conscious about the way I write SCC.

Well, to be honest I'm just self-conscious about the way I write any fictional character. It's actually the thing I worry about the most when it comes to fanfiction; whether or not I'm getting the personalities right. And I'm aware that it's more about how you perceive the characters, and that headcanons are a thing (I have plenty of them myself), but in my opinion, there's a line between having a headcanon and writing something ooc. Headcanons are fine, yes, and I use them a lot (especially when it comes to Undertale and Deltarune characters), but I feel like it can get to the point where it's so ooc that it doesn't even feel like the same character. And that's something I definitely don't want to happen when I write about my three favorite guys EVER. So basically, I'm asking people to read my fics specifically so I can get feedback on how to write the characters.

Why didn't I ask my friends? Bold of you to assume I have any /hj

But no fr, none of my friends play Deltarune, and I'm not even sure if any of them have heard of it. My sister has played before, but she never really got into it, and it's been so long that I doubt she would even remember who SCC are if I asked.

So, I've taken it to random strangers on Tumblr!

There's only one work in the series right now, but I'm currently working on another and have many more ideas sitting in a doc, waiting to be written! I'll also take requests if anyone has any (which I doubt will happen but anything's possible I guess), but before I post any more, I'd really like to get some feedback from... someone, I guess. I dunno I just really want to do them justice 😭

Anyways, that's all! Sorry that this was so long and probably annoying to read, I just thought it'd be funny but now I don't even know aldkdsfljk- but I'm leaving it like this because why not I guess

The Universe Is Yours

Pairings: 10th Doctor x M!reader

Warning: teeny tiny bit if man angst

Summary: You followed The Doctor everywhere. And now he finally found you.

Word count: 1700

Aliens spanned all across the universe, so many different species and subspecies and on top of that there were new cultures and religions that came with the new species. You loved to study them all, every alien invasion that came to earth, any encounter you witnessed. You were always there, always taking pictures. But there was one similarity with all the encounters.. The Doctor.

You first heard of him a few years back when christmas santas and plastic mannequins tried to take over london, next event was when an alien ship crashed into the london river, and once again aliens tried to take over, which lead to harriet Jones becoming prime minister, leading to the torchwood institute and all its alien capturing tools. There were many more events that happened after, all with the doctor making his appearances and saving London and the world. The most recent was when Cybermen and Daleks tried to battle for earth, and the doctor sucked them all into the void like nothing had ever been there in the first place, minus all the destruction that was left behind. You were there for all of it, blending in as a worker with fake IDs, or just there taking pictures.

The more these events happened, the moreThe Doctor seemed to notice you, hiding in the shadows away from prying human eyes, but alas he wasn't human, and he noticed. Rose was gone, in the parallel universe, living her life, and the Doctor was alone… or was he really? Because wherever he went, you seemed to follow.

Today had been pretty boring it seemed, no alien attacks, no signs of the doctor, no panicking or screaming. London was… normal… for the first time in a long time, and that in its own way was strange to you. Currently you are in your apartment suite, hanging up your newly bought Canadian and UK flags in your window.

You were born in Canada but moved to London when you turned twenty, having finished school and with nothing else to do with life. Your parents died and your grandparents who had taken care of you your whole life had also passed away last year. So London and all its mysteries called to you. At first you were interested in ancient ruins and old civilizations, history and vikings and anglo-saxons all interested you. Then aliens came and it became your new hyperfixation.

You had a day job, because you obviously couldn't live in London with no job, so you worked as a delivery organizer in the warehouse, receiving all the packages that were delivered to your store, managing a forklift and shelves. It paid a pretty decent penny, enough to help you live of course.

Today was your day off however, and with nothing strange going on you decided to take your polaroid camera and take a walk through the park, and it's exactly what you did, taking nice pictures of nature, and of cute little squirrels and birds. Eventually you took a seat down on a bench in the park, sorting through the polaroids in your bag, smiling at the better pictures. A sigh left your lips, and you glanced to your side after noticing someone had sat down beside you, however you didn't really care all that much, until you took a double take, noticing a very familiar coat jacket, and pants… you looked up, eyes widening when you saw familiar short brown hair, and a beautiful pair of eyes…

He was sitting right beside you.

You put your camera in your satchel and you stood up abruptly, taking a step back as he smiled at you. "Hello!" he exclaimed. And with that you turned and ran, gripping the strap of your bag as your legs carried you through the park. Some people gave you strange looks, and when you looked back for just a moment you tripped on a stick on the path and went tumbling down.

However, before you could hit the ground you felt two arms wrap around you and twirl you around, holding you close for just a moment to make sure you were stable. However as you were spun around your camera had managed to fall from your bag, and it smashed into a dozen pieces on the ground.

You pushed the stranger away, falling to your knees as you hastily gathered all the pieces, your breath catching in your throat as a steady stream of tears escaped your eyes, and finally you let out a choked sob, holding all the broken polaroid pieces in your hands. 'man up' you thought to yourself, wiping your tears with the back of your hand. "men shouldn't cry, stupid boy" you whispered, leaning back on your legs as you stared up at the sky,

You then felt a hand on your shoulder, and slowly the doctor came into view again. "Hey, don't run away this time… I only want to talk." He said softly, grabbing the camera pieces from your hands and from the ground. "Hmm yes… yes! What a brilliant piece of technology! come back to the TARDIS with me and I'll fix your camera right up for you!" He exclaimed, shoving all the pieces into your bag before hoisting you up onto your feet. "What? No way Doctor… Doctor Who?! I'm not coming into your tiny police box so you can kidnap me and dump me on some- some other world! no way!" You exclaimed, taking a step back as the doctor extended a hand to you.

"Oh come on! I don't know you but you clearly seem to know me.. Why not take the chance to talk to The Doctor! it'll be funnnn~" he sang out, seeing the conflict spread across your face.

With a deep breath, you reluctantly grabbed his hand, however as soon as you did he immediately dragged you along as he ran through the park, to the blue police box you have seen so many times and taken so many pictures of. And when he opened the door, and pulled you inside… it was like nothing you had ever seen before… "Woah… what…" you trailed off, and your immediate thought was to take pictures, but without your camera… you couldn't.

You turned back to the doctor, and he was smiling widely, gesturing for you to give him the camera pieces… and so you did. watching as he laid them all across his console, and with some strange looking screwdriver he pieced together your camera, and added a few things too it seemed, and within the hour he handed your camera back to you, smiling brightly still. "So? what do you think?" he asked, and you studied your camera intensely, glancing up at him with a curious look.

"What did you add to it?" you asked, and it looked like his smile grew even wider upon hearing your question. "well! I added a few things that might be invented a few years from now, but oh well i'll let you have something a little nicer. But your pictures will become much cleaner and easier to see, no flashback in pictures. unlimited polaroid so you never need to buy cartridges again! and, there's a UV light on it, and an infrared camera setting, and night vision! just in case." he explained, watching as your eyes went wider the more he explained what he had added to your camera.

You gently set it down on the center console, looking up at him before abruptly pulling him into a tight hug. "Thank you Doctor." You whispered, pulling back with a nervous expression.

"It's no problem really… and whoever told you that men can't cry, is stupid and wrong." The doctor stated, which made you smile a bit more. However, before you could say anything, he spoke up again. "So now I did something for you… so you can do something for me. Tell me when you first saw me, and started taking pictures. Because I see you everywhere I am." He started, taking a step closer to you. Your eyes went wide, and you took a step back in response. "I mean it started a few years ago I guess?When you looked… different? It started when the plastic mannequins attacked london." You answered, and he hummed in response.

"You dont sound like you're from London… Where are you from?" He asked, and you smiled. "Canada! proud and free, i moved to london after my grandparents died, i have no family, just my camera." You answered, a sad tone to your voice as you explained this to him.

The doctor took a step back from you, and you relaxed, grabbing your modified camera, putting it in your bag with a sigh. "Well… why are you following me?" he asked finally,and you beamed in response, pulling out all the photos and files you carried with you. "Ever since I saw you there has been alien activity everywhere! all across the world. I used to be interested in old structures, and viking history… But ever since you came around i've been hyper fixated on you i guess? and your adventures… It's just all so fascinating." You explained, seeing him smile at your response.

'Well then… would you like to see my adventures first hand? you could come with me on all my adventures…" He suggested.

he was giving you the option to explore galaxies, new worlds, you could meet aliens and study cultures with the doctor up close instead of watching them from afar… You had no family, no animals, and nothing at home… but The doctor was offering you the world.

You saw him extend his hand to you, and without a second thought you grabbed it. "i need to stop at my apartment, and pack some money and clothes… But yes Doctor… I'll come with you." You said softly, and he pulled you towards the console and told you which buttons to press, and when he got the location of your home he took you there, appearing in the spare bedroom of your apartment.

This? being shown the universe? with such a hot man too? You couldn't have it any other way.

Its not even the voices Aphmau needed to do in early seasons. I just have troubles where I take shows really seriously, so the no warning / no consent kissing or the people trying to find out everything about Aphmau's love life is just frustrating for me.

Autistic people taking things too seriously, what else is new?

I hear that, I too have the “tism”

But on the rewatch I kind of read it differently. It makes sense that Aph’s friends would be concerned about her love life since she hasn’t been interested in anyone since high school, her mom is notorious for hating boys, and half her male friends have crushes on her and she doesn’t reciprocate any of them. It’s an interesting situation and I know I’d be concerned, especially if I was Katelyn or KC

Katelyn sees Aph as a sister and knows that she’s had bad experiences with boys in the past (Gene and Ein, though I haven’t gotten to Ein in the rewatch yet so I may be misremembering some details) so of course she’d be suspicious of Laurance and the others across the street, Aaron who’s super suspicious and used to be a bully, and Zane who is literally Zane hahah

Meanwhile, KC is obsessed with shipping and she stands as an outlier who actively analyzes relationships and pairs them together in her mind as possible relationships, with her favorites being expressed more openly and verbally like a hyperfixation. It’s problematic but also not unheard of, and I can relate to analyzing your friends and deducing their compatibility (though not so much pressuring them into pursuing that compatibility :/). In the end she just wants to see all her friends happy, and she projects her own love of romantic love onto them

(KC actually reminds me a bit of Nepeta from Homestuck but that’s a conversation for a different day)

I do think the lack of consent coming from Laurance and his roommates is very weird and disturbing, but the conscious narrative seems aware that it’s problematic while the subconscious narrative plays it off as a joke. It’s not really that funny, but I guess that’s just part of the anime tropiness of the season.

The entire show, or at least the first seasons of MyStreet and PDH, was made to feel anime tropey and unfortunately that kind of nonconsensual humor is very anime. It’s a little nuanced tho that the rest of the show explores the “after they get together” situations rarely seen in romance anime, though, as well as abandoning the nonconsensual humor in favor of villainizing it and using it to characterize antagonists (sorry Laurance fans your fav is problematic <3)

I actually kind of realized through my rewatch that Laurance was the main instigator of these inappropriate actions and it’s really his own problem to work through. The rest follow him with the frat boy mindset and only come to their senses when actually thinking on their own lol

Like, I remember as a kid there being so many jokes about Travis touching peoples butts, but as far as I remember from my rewatch they were all accidents! That’s kind of funny actually! But the normalization of predatory behavior is very weird in S1 and I’m glad it’s gone in S2

In PDH S1, it’s only slightly justified by the students all being literal children who are working through their hormones and poor coping mechanisms. Both Laurance and Garroth kiss Aphmau without her consent and then swear her to secrecy, which is toxic as hell and its protrayed as such. Gene even threatens to kiss her in front of Aaron which is a whole other thing we don’t need to discuss at length cause I’m sure you get the point by now

But PDH-Aaron notably asks permission every time he does anything romantic with Aph and it’s sweet. In S1 of MyStreet, he does kiss her after the play without verbal consent, but it’s implied she did at least nonverbally consent in later episodes when discussing what happened. Regardless, that sort of content in S1 isn’t touched upon as the story goes on which makes it a lot better to me, and it shows the growth of the author alongside her characters

WOAH— SORRY FOR THE LONG RESPONSE!!!! I just found this topic interesting!!!! Hope you have fun reading this MOUNTAIN wow—

Fairy Tail Freed Justine Thesis

Part 2a. (Of ???)

Part 2 is meant to be ‘Character’, but I wanted a separate post to talk about the gay thing. And it does need to be talked about.

This is another topic in which my personal process feels significant to this amalgamation of nerdom, so here it is. Sometimes, my therapist lets me just talk about the hyperfixation for 40 minutes straight. And, to be clear, while this is not a shipping post, I personally am a fraxus shipper, and it is going to come up, because Freed’s treatment when around Laxus is part of ‘the gay thing’. Now, I was rambling about all of this when it hit me like a truck, and made me a little sad. Technically, it is, and I do consider it, canon that Freed is queer, because guess what I didn’t realize until three years after I watched the show? All those moments of Freed being weird around Laxus? The joke is ‘haha he’s acting gay’ and they are very much homophobic jokes that are, admittedly, the product of this story really coming from the early 2000s, not 2020 when I watched it. But Freed is the butt of gay jokes, and unfortunately that is what is happening. Is it any wonder that my brain clings onto this character so hard?

But now, beyond the realization/explanation. You don’t need to be a shipper for this, and in fact I actively encourage non-shippers to read this, because I’m gonna try my best to keep this directly to all the things in canon. The gay thing is important to Freed’s character, especially because he is a minor character and therefore the few main identity features that he is given are the majority of what we know about him. Now I’ll be honest, I don’t have a great recollection of those moments because I get insane second hand embarrassment, but a large part of our introduction especially to Freed is that ‘unflinching devotion’ to Laxus (believe me, we’ll get into that). This is another thing that is very much sprinkled in and left to let my creativity run wild.

There is this seemingly unintentional depth ascribed to the relationship between Freed and Laxus in the Battle of Fairy Tail arc. Because Freed is completely devoted, so he is willing to go into this fight and do things he doesn’t agree with all for Laxus’ sake. But he is also willing to call Laxus out on it, to voice his dissent, to inevitably side WITH fairy tail. And there is never a lessening of his care or friendship with Laxus, it is a simple disagreement over method despite the Freed’s implied knowledge of the parts of Laxus’ youth that pushed him to that sort of behavior. There’s this balance that isn’t normally displayed in side characters like this, especially at their first introduction. Bixlow and Evergreen are portrayed as mainly following Laxus but still enjoying the chance to start a fight, but Freed? He is shown to have his loyalty to the guild and his morals at odds with his devotion to the person he cares for the most. Laxus’ side is criminally under-explored but the relationship is given an astonishing amount of depth from Freed’s side things, and that relationship, as well as and combined with being the subject of repeated gay jokes, actually make up a large and important part of Freed’s character.

I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE Y’ALL DON’T EVEN KNOW!! Today we get to talk about the “dangerous DR” of this event and PLEASE guys omg I’m so hyperfixated on this game right now. I’m excited to shift here but I’m mostly scared so I would like to introduce my *drumroll* Subnautica DR!!

And alright before everyone goes “you’re crazy for this why would you do this to yourself” hear me out… I have a very detailed safety section of my script LMAO

Seriously though I am really excited and I’ve scripted that I can escape creatures easily, that my rides don’t get destroyed, that I don’t shit myself, the bacteria doesn’t kill me, blah blah blah. So don’t worry I’ll be fine. I actually took out one of the scariest aspects of the planet which is “isolation”. So I will be surviving planet 4546b with Ryley Robinson as we shared a life pod when we evacuated The Aurora. We ofc still crash in the safe shallows and have to go out and collect resources and stuff and you see while Ryley was on the ship as a “non-essential systems maintenance chief” I was there as part of the engineering team so we decided that most of the fabricating stuff would be left to me. He was in charge of making sure I had food and water when I went exploring, and also relaying any radio messages. Unfortunately in the crash my PDA became damaged and in order to repair it I had to pretty much jailbreak it and that basically severed it’s connection to Alterra (so maybe not THAT unfortunate 👀) From then on it kind of gained a weird sentience so she’s also kind of a person to talk to I guess?

Speaking of though, let me tell you guys I HATE Alterra so much. Like even before we crashed here I was getting sick of their shit and honestly just humanity in general cause everything felt so transactional. It felt like you could never make a genuine connection with a person cause you had to work to survive and anyone you talked to was probably just trying to gauge your worth as an asset. Even the romantic relationships were like that!! I know I’m aromantic but even I can tell that’s not a good relationship dynamic. But anyways my hatred for Alterra grows immensely while on 4546b cause yeah these creatures are all trying to murder me but they’re so beautiful and I just know Alterra would destroy them for their gain. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a fan of the precursors either, especially not after I begin talking with the Sea Emperor.

And oh the Sea Emperor 🥰🥰 I love her so much guys she’s so beautiful and sweet and I hate what happened to her 😭. Ngl the first time she showed herself to me I nearly pissed myself but after the initial shock I realized how friendly she was and how calm her voice made me?? It was really weird like have you ever been jumpscared by a wave of calm lol (my sense of danger is gonna get shot dead in this DR I swear) But anyways I mentioned before that the fabricating is left up to me which means a lot of the exploration is left up to me as well, especially when we learn that we’re infected with the bacterium and need to find a cure FAST. So as I explore of course the Sea Emperor is gonna reach out to me a lot and although the trip is terrifying and dangerous I eventually find my way to her (and I immediately open the portal that makes it easier to get to her cause I am NOT going through that again nope).

The game’s story is pretty much the same, I find Sea Emperor, hatch her babies, get the cure, disable the gun, blah blah blah. But there are key differences. Mainly that before she dies the Sea Emperor uses the last of her energy to give me what I dub “an ocean’s blessing” and NOW is where the fun part comes in. Cause NOW I can use the same “telepathy” that she could use but I can use it on all the fauna on 4546b INCLUDING LEVIATHANS!!! Not only that but it seems this ability comes with a natural calming factor which makes normally hostile or hungry creatures lose the will to attack me. Basically I’m playing creative mode now lol. Y’know what sue me I went through this whole planet being almost murdered I get to admire it in safety now.

And now for the last big difference (prepare for drama). I hatch the emperors, I watch them swim away, I collect their enzymes and cure myself and Ryley, but now… I can’t just go back to Alterra. I know what will happen if they learn about this planet. All these creatures all these biomes will be turned over and destroyed if it means Alterra can use them for their own profit. If I go back to Alterra they’ll come back to 4546b and they’ll torture this planet, subjecting it to a far worse fate than the precursors did. But Ryley doesn’t understand where I’m coming from. He wasn’t out there exploring with me so he doesn’t understand that these animals weren’t attacking me, I was invading their home and they were defending it. So he’s going back… but all of the data we have is on my PDA he won’t just leave it behind. So I fake my death. Maybe if he has nothing substantial, nothing of interest to bring back to Alterra then they’ll leave the planet alone. I tell him I’m going to turn off the gun at the quarantine enforcement platform and then on my way back it wouldn’t be SO unbelievable if I ran into some trouble. There IS a reaper patrolling the island and Ryley doesn’t know the sea emperor gave me the ability to communicate with them. So all I would have to do is send a message, tell him I ran out of power, then I can let the reaper play catch with my seamoth. Is it fucked up to let him think we made it so close to escape only to lose me at the very end? Yeah, yeah it is. But at this point my concern is protecting this planet and I’ll do whatever I have to in order to get Alterra off of it.

Ryley escapes on the rocket. I stay on the planet. And if in a few months or a few years I learn about Alterra setting up bases in a frozen sector… well, I’ll cross that void when I come to it.

—

And now I’m all melodramatize-d out lmao. Sorry I got really passionate there at the end 😳🫢 I was actually struggling to write this cause I didn’t wanna yap yap yap but honestly there’s still SO much I wanna add. I just added the important stuff so I hope it all made sense. And if you wanna know “was it necessary to fake your death” I’m gonna say yes cause even if Ryley left without me, which would be doubtful, if he was to tell Alterra there was another survivor left on the planet I bet it would’ve motivated them to come back to it.

God I love this DR so much and I can’t wait to chill with the leviathans after getting the ocean’s blessing. I also have this half-thought out idea where the longer I stay on the planet the more I start to mutate (probably due to the sea emperor) and turn into sort of a mermaid? Like I would develop gills, get stronger like a leviathan would, maybe get taller idk. I’m not completely committed to the idea so let me know what you think about it!! 💞

Helloooo, I'm K and I'm here to ship myself with my silly blorbos! I have a tendency to fall for lots of characters very quickly, leading to my ship list being. Long. But believe me when I say that I love every single one of my F/Os!

I have some trouble telling platonic and romantic attraction apart, so you might see characters shift between romantic and platonic ships at random. Don't worry about it lol

I am 100% okay with sharing! Doubles please interact! I love seeing more people gush about my sillies!

Other Info:

I'm a premed psych student! Currently taking a break so I can find a steady source of income :p

I'm a PNW resident so you might see me reference that occasionally. Especially Oregon. Possibly the Trail Blazers, tho I keep my basketball hyperfix mostly to my main or Insta

I'm disabled, with hEDS, POTS, MCAS, and fallen arches. I mention it often

I'm very mentally ill which impacts how I think about things! It also influences my ships. If you see me talking about a relationship in past tense as if it happened IRL or if you see me devolve into paranoia, that's why! I'm also psychotic so I might mention hallucinations sometimes

Which F/Os I talk about the most tends to be related to my dominant hyperfixation/special interest at that time. But I still think about and love the rest of my F/Os!

Some of my relationships might look a little possessive or toxic, with me at the receiving end of that. It's just for play and 100% safe, sane, and consensual :3 I just like it like that. It's only a few tho

Please be nicey to me, I am extremely paranoid and overreact to things easily. I'm trying to work on it. But if there's something you need to warn me about or correct me on, please be kind

Every character I ship with is confirmed 18+ or likely 18+ AND HAS BEEN SHOWN IN AN 18+ DESIGN CANONICALLY. I do not romantically ship with minors EVER. Any minors you see are either platonic or familial

I headcanon every single one of my F/Os as some flavor of queer and the VAST majority as some flavor of trans! Doesn't make sense for the time period or what we've been shown? Don't care :) they're also usually neurodivergent and disabled

This isn't a NSFW blog but there is a possibility I might rarely reblog suggestive posts or say suggestive things. These will be tagged with "suggestive", "nsfm", "nsft", and "minors dni"

I might jokingly say I hate my F/Os, I wish they'd explode, I'll kill them, etc. These aren't actually out of malice, I just think they're silly :]

I ship with my own OCs too!

I also often ship with a character's AU versions along with canon versions! They're all different in my mind :)

My F/O list isn't done being formatted, give me a little time and then I'll link it :3

_ . . . . . . . ︿ ❀ ︿ . . . . . . . _

DNI

Basic DNI stuff, racists, pedos, you know the drill

Pro/dark/comshippers and neutral/"safe for proshippers"

People who age up minors/age down S/Is for romantic ships

Zoos and MAPS/PEARS/whatever y'all are calling yourselves now

Rad-queers

Exclusionists (why are y'all still around I thought we settled this shit ages ago)

Against GNC or PNC people (like he/him or they/them women and she/her or they/them men, and nonbinary people using binary pronouns)

Against xenogenders or neopronouns

Ship with real people (obv doesn't apply to live action characters, those are A-Okay)

Zionists

Believe in Cluster-B abuse or see disorders as inherently evil/dangerous

Anti-selfship or OCxCanon (idk why you'd even be here but. Yeah)

Anti-selfshipping with an OC

Trump supporter

Pro-life

All Lives Matter/Blue Lives Matter/Back The Blue and similar pro-police or military movements

Honestly hard Conservatives in general probably shouldn't be here. Centrists are on the thinnest fucking ice

Generative AI users

Anti furry, therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, etc

Anti self-dx (speaking as someone who has only professional diagnoses, it is HARD to get them. And they can sometimes make life harder. Let people research their symptoms. I never would have gotten assessments if I didn't research a little first)

Support cringe culture (as in bullying people you think are cringe, not being like "I'm cringe but I'm free". Obv I support that)

That's all I can think of for now but this list is subject to change

New longform fic in the works!

Hello hello, I've been dead to the world for a while now, but I'm back now!!

I've recently been working on a SVSSS/MDZS crossover, with my dearest son Mo Xuanyu as our MC! The premise goes as follows;

Mo Xuanyu has heard of a cultivation sect far away from all of the clan's politics, called Cang Qiong- the stronghold between the demon realm and the human realm! He's willing to live on the border between realities if it means he can get away from his own personal hell on earth that Mo Village has become. Only, he'll be leaving behind his fiancé... But then, what happens when the clans follow him to Cang Qiong?

As always, I'm soft hearted so there won't be too much angst, but there will definitely be enough hurt/comfort to go around!!

I still can't think of a name for it though 🤔

Anyway, the relationship tags for this fic have already been all figured out!! They're below the cut with some technical aspects rambling because this fic is my hyperfixation right now and i cant be normal about it;

Main Ship;

Mo Xuanyu/Nie Huaisang (I miiiight work in Jiang Cheng, because I know that Nie Huaisang/Jiang Cheng is popular i think? We'll see when we get there)

Background Ships;

Shen Jiu/Mu Qingfang/Yue Qingyuan

Shen Yuan/Luo Binghe/Liu Qingge (I'm a firm believer in polyamorous immortals you can't fight me on this)

Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian

Familial/Friend Ships;

Mo Xuanyu & Various Peak Lords as family :))

Mo Xuanyu & Wei Wuxian bonding probably?

Mo Xuanyu & Luo Binghe

Technical Aspects;

Finding a good timeline for this fic is hell, I want everyone to know that!!! For SVSSS, the timeline is set a few years past the canon ending of the story, and for MDZS it's set in the very first year after the end of their story.

It's also very far from being canon on either end of the crossover, because (just to state the obvious) Mo Xuanyu is still alive, and so is Shen Jiu! I just really wanted to write a fic that I'd like to read myself, so I'm shoving in as many of my favourite parts from other fics as I can.

I also have an outline written that is. 700 words long right now!! I've only written the prologue!! what am i doing!!!! Though tbf I am on draft four already and im slowly going crazy :)

Also I usually try to write a "prologue" introducing the premise for long form fics and I try to keep it short, so like 1000 words?? but I just kept going and brought it up to 1800 this time T_T The actual chapters will be AT LEAST 2000, but with the way its going right now it'll probably end up longer.

Side note in relation to that, I'm thinking this fic will be like ,,, 7-10 chapters? I'm still in the early stages, but that's my estimation!!

There is also some planned angst between Mo Xuanyu and Nie Huaisang because well, Huaisang did try to manipulate him into killing himself, so. yknow. I personally am not excited for it because I hate writing my skrunklies fighting :((

I also wanted to work in Tianlang-jun and Zhuzhi-lang somewhere, which will probably happen when the whole MDZS crew shows up! Idk I'm not that far in my outline yet ( ╥ω╥ )

Anyway!!!! Credit to this fic by Jenrose!!! It's what gave me the MDZS autism and what inspired this fic a little, despite the fact that there's nearly zero similarities lol

Thanks for reading all that,

signing off, Yin ! ☆⌒(>。<)
