[selinascatnip]

Hi 👋 @selinascatnip bestie when you have less on your plate and I hope that you will update the next chapter of your awesome 😎 Dickkory fic, wandering worlds soon 🔜 as well as post @ambeautys birthday 🥳 fic soon 🔜 and some titanstober fics. :)

Hi Vanessa, I hope you're doing well.

C's birthday fic is currently in revision phase, first draft already done, and will be published on the 24th.

WW is kinda on hiatus, because my heart isn't in it at the moment, and every single time I forced myself to finish a fic it didn't when I didn't feel like it I ended hating the story.

But I don't ever abandon a fic forever, the Naruto girlies just got the ending of I fic I planned to finish five years ago lmao. I don't think it will be the case for WW because unlike AOH, WW has a script, but the new chapter will come when it is ready, that's all I can say.

I won't say anything for sure about Titanstober, but I don't have anything planned and October has always been VK month to me, I should give my VK girls some love maybe, or even Sailor Moon in general, really, I feel like I'm in debt with a lot of my friends from that fandom.

What I do have planned is to publish another DK for @feaap on December that I haven't started yet, and I plan to give @cyanis-art a hand with the NejiHina Week, because since I'm back here in Ninja Hell, I might as well, and a palate cleansing was long overdue, I've been writing and reading DC fic only since 2018.

the games I headcanon the T.S.a.M.s and L.a.E.s characters playing:

Nexus: Says it's doom eternal, but he really plays Horse life Roblox.

(Old)Moon: he enjoys older games like the original doom, but would play some Bethesda games like fallout and skyrim(including the older ones like oblivion)

Lunar: Sky: children of the light, no questions asked.

Sun: of course cult of the lamb but after the sorta cult follower incident, he played some animal crossing lately, even got his hands on the older games.

Earth: she would play Sky: Cotl with Lunar, but also enjoys playing Horse Life Roblox.

Dazzle: if they could hold the game controlers or play on tablets they would play roblox mostly always switching from game to game.

Jack: any world explorer game, or a game with violence.

Bloodmoon(r.i.p): Doom eternal, do I really have to explain?

Kc(also rip): playing half-life, just half-life.

Solar(twink): also plays horse life and he is fuckin rich in the game like gaw damn how?

Eclipse: he would hide the fact he likes Sky: cotl and says he likes the original doom.

Pollux: would play sky: cotl too.

Castor: animal crossing, and if Pollux begs him enough he would play a little bit of sky: cotl too.

Dark Sun: any dragon related games or games that allow him to have a choice.

Idk who else to put lol.

No fear, I have done the math for all of you Fanfic authors so we can stop with the confusion.

Eddie’s Third Try at Senior Year is ‘86

Second try was ‘85, originally supposed to graduate in ‘84

Steve Graduated on time in ‘85

Therefore Eddie is one school year above Steve.

Additionally- as far as I am aware, Middle School is 3 years maximum. So, because of context/middle school talent show:

When Chrissy was in 6th grade, Steve was in 7th, and Eddie was in 8th grade- carrying on until Senior Year kept him back.

So Eddie is two school years above Chrissy.

Ages get a little weirder because I don’t know the Hawkins enrolment cut off/school year start. Some places start in August, others September. Some use age at enrollment, others use birth years etc. but, you can use a general 17-18 for Chrissy/the other ‘86 seniors, 18-19 for Steve/‘85 seniors, and place Eddie 19-20. 21 is kind of pushing it unless you go with a mid-year Appalachian transfer fanon- but again it depends on the enrolment of Hawkins.

I know folks who started kindergarten at 3 because they were big & potty trained, but others were delayed until 5. But 4 is average, ergo, let’s go with averages.

Edit: kindergarten apparently isn’t relevant anyways so let’s be glad it was crossed out anyways.

[dansleftthigh]

no but even if i do cringe at the old school tumblr jokes and the very dated phandom vibes, I ADORE these reaction videos. i've forgotten so much and then suddenly i remember my exact age/thoughts/feelings/personality/interests i had when the video/event happened. it's like reminiscing with an old friend.

Geek marriage is wonderful.

“Hmm, if I find a plot for this square, I’ll get a bingo on my @badthingshappenbingo. I know I’m gonna write Holmes for it, but I’m not sure how to.”

“How about [plot]?”

“… yes thank you I love you.”

I used to have to hide my writing from my ex-partner because he would mock me for it. Being able to talk about it, show it, and even collaborate on it is just wonderful.

[krsonmar]

You know something I'd love to see for fandom? A service or online forum boards for finding fans or fics/fanworks from a long time ago. When you wonder "Whatever happened to sailorscout86 from LiveJournal?" or want to find an old fic you remember or give credit to a fanartist for a work of theirs that's still on an old harddrive you kept in 2012 or see if that filk writer ever did anything else, you could go on this website and either search for people by pennames/pseuds or for the piece of fanart, and if they had listed themselves there you'd be able to connect online via current pseuds or whatever they're working on now.

Participation would be strictly on a voluntary basis and you'd only ever have access to what pseuds or info the people joining themselves choose to list, so no one would get outed as having written That One Messed Up Fic ten years ago or whatever and you wouldn't have to worry about your job finding out about your high school fandom habits.I know anonymity and the right to disappear and be forgotten are (or should be) fundamental on the internet, but in fandom spaces in particular, people make friends that leave an impact and yeah, sometimes people want to leave a space and start over in a new one...but I feel like as time passes and you start to realize how much these people left a mark on you, having an option to let people look you up--and remaining pseudonymous, definitely, just letting them know what your current names or fandoms/projects are--could be a really nice way to use the internet for good and to connect people again instead of using it to fight with strangers.

I know it's an outdated and pie-in-the-sky kind of wish, and fandom identities are purposely ephemeral...but wouldn't it be nice if there were a middle ground where people could connect to old friends or their works on everyone's own terms?

[alchemiclee]

been looking in tags for a few days now to see if anyone else found the whole high cloud quintet and related story to be a bit.....poorly written, nonsensical, contradictory, full of plot holes and loose ends, etc. apparently i'm not the only one. (and i'm not even talking about shipping stuff, because any time I saw someone mad about bad writing, someone always replies to be homophobic and laugh about failed ships. weirdos.) it could have been so good but was thrown into the garbage for the most part (IF you noticed all the plot holes and contradiction. if not, then it's a fine enough story tbh. I expect most people to see it on surface level and not read all the little hidden lore bits and try to piece it together like my autistic brain did. which is ok! enjoy it if you liked it and ignore me 😆)

[fanfoolishness]

Thankful for all of my fellow nerds, the writers, the artists, the meta-authors, the giffers, the rebloggers, the commenters, the tag-ramblers, the shippers. Fandom has been a joyous part of my life, my community, and my creativity for nearly 25 years, thanks to fans like you, and I’m looking forward to all the obsessions and hyperfixations to come 🤩

[likesplatterpaint]

Clocked a (new) student as a tumblr kid today as I was trying to (perhaps unwisely) explain the “they beat Jesus with that” meme to her as we were plugging in all the Huion cords.

The look of horror as I was winding up to the joke and asked her “do you go on tumblr a lot?”

“…O_O….yeah..?” Practically squeaking with shame

“Oh. Me too. They beat Jesus with this.”

((Clearly does not get the reference but laughs))

Later, she’s explaining she likes photoshop better than procreate now and briefly starts to show me something with the details in her art but theN IMMEDIATELY gets embarrassed because that is clearly A Blorbo and “it’s garbage art anyway”

It was not and I coaxed her to show me her Sirius Black during Mauraders era AU art and she is CLEARLY just like. Ready to die and apologize for being One of Those Kids and I’m just like.

Honey. It’s fine. It’s still art. This class is Your Place and I am you in two decades.

Sans the Harry Potter bit, of course, but hopefully she’ll learn about how toxic JKr’s views are in her own time.

In other news I wrote a letter of rec for one of my Princes of Graphic Design and I’m in my feels about what a good kid and artist he is. I hope he can get his foot in the gaming industry like he wants.

sanctuary

It is the third day of living in a new hut in an unfamiliar land, and the sun is peaking out over the hills, shy in the early morning. Icicles wink with increasing ferocity as the morning crawls forward, sunlight’s reflected brightness clawing through the window.

A Dunmeri girl, just shy of fifteen, curls against her mother’s side. Body heat rarely goes unappreciated, but here it radiates such comfort that she feels herself reaching—there is little else she could want in this moment.

Still, despite the warmth and the travel-ache in her limbs, she finds herself turning away, keeping her eyes open and grazing the still-unfamiliar walls. Stares at the banners carefully dispersed throughout the hut in spaces that will feel right, soon. Symbols of the Tribunal face her with a warmth not diminished by their new surroundings.

Below these, her mother’s carefully carved altar piece displaying the Tribunal. It was carved before she could remember—before she was born, and when she is of age, she too will carve her own.

She’s been practicing for three years now, started as soon as tradition allowed. Her hands ache at the memory of carving them, practicing which attributes she would depict.

Her mother’s rendition of Almalexia carries a warmth in her facial features that is less common in Vvardenfell’s temples, yet prominent in her family’s private altars. Her voluminous, curly hair swirls around her fierce eyes as she stares at the two Dunmer, miles away from home, as she always has—with serene, watchful wisdom.

Her mother inhales sharply beside her, a sound she’s heard countless times. Vehk and Seht’s stares come into focus, each carrying their own wise attentiveness, then the rest of her room, foreign yet welcome protection from the cold that seeps between cracks and crevices.

The walls don’t quite feel familiar, but there is time yet.

written for @tes-summer-fest sanctuary prompt, takes place roughly a few years after the events in eso

the anon hate has been coming in hot again lately so i might turn off anon again for a while ;-; my skin is pretty thick it doesn't really bug me but it's just obnoxious. like an annoying fly next to my ear lol.

[cafe-melanion]

Mulder, we know it was you.

(btw, my inner fangirl is DELIGHTED that X-Files fandom continues. I need to find the Krycek-lovers tho, where's my ppl?)

[krsonmar]

That frustrating feeling of not being able to search for that old fanfic you miss from ten years ago on your work laptop while you're bored and stuck at work because the fanfic was smutty and your IT department is watching

[shadowed-yet-vibrant]

Hawkwing's Journey Drinking Game:

Take a drink every time a non-cat animal attacks Skyclan

Take a drink every time a rogue(s) attacks Skyclan

Take a drink every time a cat dies

Take a drink every time a Skyclan cat leaves the clan (by choice or by intervention other than death)

Take a shot every time there's a new vision or prophecy

...on second thought, this is a surefire way to get alcohol poisoning. Maybe don't play this game.

• You were saying things like "you are so cute my cutie pie, my sunshine and attacking your nephew with kisses while the toddler just laughs joyously.

( This man is more delusional than all the teenage girls)

• You excused yourself to the bathroom while telling your boyfriend to keep a eye on the toddler. Next thing you know Yan bf has begun a Serious talk with your nephew.

"Is that finally a yes, y/n?" He said while his heart skipping beats and his palms getting covered with sweat for your answer after so many rejections from you.

"Yes. I am damn serious. Spending time with you two as a family has made me realise how badly I want a family of my own. I was too focused on my career neglecting you and our future life. I am sorry." You said with all seriousness.

Maybe his nephew is not that bad after all he thought. And yes it's official now your nephew is definitely gonna be the ring bearer in your wedding.

Requests are open!!
