Helloo I recently came across ur blog and all ur writing is amazing!! Keep up the good work !
\(//â//)\ Ah but do u have any advice for someone that just started a writing blog? please drink enough water and rest well!!
â°(*Ž`*)âŻâĄ
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like my works!!! <3 As for advice... there's a lot that goes into a blog, so I think this will be a little long. (Please do not be discouraged, it's not as hard and complicated as the length of this guide. If you go with the flow of however it goes you'll be fine. I've been labeled as professional by many people. Please remember these are tips that I find helpful and useful in my blogs so feel free to take some and leave some.)
01. purpose of blog
While I know that you most likely have a reason for your blog, it's really helpful to think about exactly what kind of contents you want to bring to the hellfire of tumblr.
It can be whatever reason, to write fics of your fav, or to try out writing, or to just bring more stuff into the tags, maybe a mix, add in another reason or few.
But it's a guiding point as to where you wanna go with the blog. If you're gonna use it for whatever, that's fine too, whatever you want with the blog. But if you're making lots of goals to achieve a big goal, it's good to have a "vision statement".
If it helps, my vision statement is to write all the ideas in my drafts and to bring more nazuna content in this world. Ultimately, I just wanna have fun with it though.
02. blog setup
URLS: in terms of urls, short and catchy urls are most popular. something related to a character, in-game item, theme, song title, etc. my prev url was nazu-yume, which each part has 4 letters and is easily recognizable. nazukisser is somewhat messier but it describes what this blog is better. also if your url is longer it's best to put hyphens. easier to remember
Solo? Group?: Sometimes, depending on the blog, you might want to run the blog with someone else. it's fun :D but running a blog by yourself is really common. whatever floats your boat
General aesthetic: You can always change your aesthetic tbh, but having a general theme is great to decide on. often times it's a specific card. others its a theme like "angels" or a color like light blue or a song or a specific character, or a specific aesthetic like lovecore but whatever you find pretty
Headers: Usually, most people (me included) like to match headers and icons (see more about icons below). ive been making mine 1100 x 650 px if you decide to crop an image or edit your own. i tend to edit mine because that feels too lazy if i don't. but lots of people pick an image and place it as their header. there's always the option to reposition/zoom in or out/not stretch header !!!
Icons: Usually match the headers, being the same character or similar colors etc. crop into square or circle or have a transparent png with a unique shape (like a heart). this one has all sorts of funky shapes to play around with.
Blog colors: usually match header/icon + pinned (see below). feel free to pick a color from the images you used for the icon/header/elsewhere in the blog. I use this site to pick colors from images.
Blog title & description: these appear in search results for your blog. sometimes i put in "enstars x reader" so that my blog may search up in the search results by any chance. but you can leave either empty or put in your name or a song name or whatever, my main's title is literally "busy kissing nito nazuna" so do whatever. for the description i usually put my name, pronouns and whether requests are open or not. people are more likely to read this than what's on your pinned. reminder that there are many people who do not read the important stuff and just read whatever they want on your blog
Pinned post: Arguably the most important post on your entire blog. it's basically your navigation, home page, and face of your blog. in one. that sounds scary i promise its not. There are a lot of things I recommend having on or linked to on a pinned: - introduction: name, pronouns whatever else - dni/byf - request status (open, closed) - blog & request rules - masterlist - tags used - you can also have: latest/best/most popular fics, mutuals list, taglist information, other blogs, wheatever else you want on there tbh
tags: can be basic, mine are on this blog ("#qian talks" is as straightforward as can get) or they can be fancy ("ocean of orbis" is just fancy on my main), whatever floats your boat. i usually include tags for at least shitposting/talking and reblogs
desktop theme: you can find a lot on theme hunter or coding cabin (you actually can find me in coding cabin haha) you don't usually need to have any coding experience for customizing themes (tumblr has a neat customization thing) but for pages you will need to know how to edit it without breaking the code. (it's not hard, promise) [laptop only] edit appearance -> edit theme -> "edit HTML" -> delete all the code there -> paste in the code you have acquired
03. writing tips
writing is really a self-discovery experience. writing a lot helps you develop your own style and preferences for writing, and writing self-indulgent works is always the best experience imo!
take inspiration from anything. and i mean, anything. i take a look on my desk and i see an eraser. what can i do with an eraser. artist!au, perhaps? objects are difficult to take inspo from, so any media will do as well. lots and lots of my ideas are inspired by manhwa (for example, my kasa series "stamped with flowers" would fit in a very specific style of manhwa
write whenever you can! quite literally, whenever you have enough energy or time to sit down and write, or when you're inspired and need to write something in your notes. i promise you, it's very easy to forget ideas at times. getting in one word is already progress
if you decide to take requests please PLEASE remember that you don't have to do them. it's not as expected as you think. most likely the requester will forget that they sent the request soon and will be pleasantly surprised when they see it posted. if it is not posted, it is not a bother. also don't worry about taking a year to finish requests ive done it before and then sometimes i hold an event and never write any of the requests!! (looks at my 800 event on my main)
don't feel pressured to write consistently... i write a lot, but thats because i stress write a bunch... so please, write whenever you can/whenever you please. it's much better that way, i promise.
if you feel your work sucks i promise that you are the only one who thinks it sucks that much. because one is their own most harsh critic of their own works.
dont be afraid to take breaks too! they're so healthy for you fr
if you need help characterizing, all I can do is to say that you need to read more stories.
prompt lists are wonderful. reblog one and you may find some good requests in your inbox.
04. blogging experience
what do i do if i get hate? the best thing to do is to block the anon/user (yes you can block anons, the same way you can block a user straight from an ask) and delete the ask. they're attention seekers <3 don't give it to them and they'll give up fast. "i've seen you reply to hate asks-" "shh... i'm a bad example, i can't help but roast the anons. not recommended if you are bothered by hate anons
what if i take too long to answer asks? there is never too long.
what if i get an ask that makes me uncomfortable? delete it. (and block)
what if someone makes a comment that makes me uncomfortable? block and delete it.
what if someone who applies to my dni/byf follows me/interacts with me? block. not worth any of your time.
what if i don't like my theme but i'm too lazy to redo it? good luck comrade. i hope you can get yourself to redo it someday.
what is "successful"? A "flop"? whatever you feel is successful and whatever you feel is a flop.
blog recs? see the enstarsblr section of my moots list on my main @lilikags (list might be outdated,,, probably.. will fix later)
do i post too much? no. my main has 12.1k posts.
how do i make friends in this fandom? send people asks and interact with posts
to avoid losing posts, please write in something like google docs. i never learned my lesson on this in reality. all i can ask is that other people do not make my mistakes.

Catâs Definitive Ranking of Every ML Episode as of 4/22/21
Are you guys ready for this? I did the thing. Youâre all welcome. Donât ever ask me for anything again. You can watch me get progressively more unhinged in real time.Â
Now, just to preface this, I did not give this too much thought. Most of these are just my gut feelings. I went through every episode and just made some snap judgments based off the lasting impressions Iâve been left with. These are my opinions. If you donât like them, tough. And also I donât care. Go spend 4 hours making your own damn ranking. And shut the hell up. Anyway, this is probably the longest post Iâve ever made, so Iâm gonna put it all under a read more. Click on it if you have an hour to read it. Okay, here we go!
1.    Origins II- Good starting point for our heroes. Good establishment of canon ships and character dynamics. Umbrella scene literally stole my wallet. Cannot emphasis enough that I am whipped for the umbrella scene. I wrote a whole ass AU just to say how whipped I am for the umbrella scene. In the Rain will play at my wedding. Jk. Weddings are for suckers. But dammit if I donât want these kids to get married. 10/10
2.    Origins I- Good introduction to lore. Good introduction to characters. Good establishment of status quoyo. Just good. 10/10
3.    Simon Says- Listen, I am nothing if not a shipper at heart. This episode just sparks joy. And the whole series almost ended when Gabriel almost jumped off the roof. I was really rooting for this one. This was the episode where I saw Ladrien and went yes, maâam, Iâll have one of those. 10/10
4.    Evillustrator- Are you all surprised? Cat, the MC-skeptic ranked the pivotal MC episode so highly? Well, let me tell you all a thing, I started this fandom out a MC shipper because of this episode. Their first interaction is gold. I donât deny that. I enjoy it. This is the MC dynamic I fell in love with. Yall toxic shippers ruined MC for me when you opened your mouths and spat in the face of Ladrien and baselessly declared MC the sin-ship. We all know itâs Ladrien. Stop kidding yourselves. Boy in leather catsuit? Please. Basic ass vanilla bitches. Iâm getting off-topic. Solid episode 10/10. We love to see it.
5.    Stormy Weather- Babyâs first Miraculous episode. It holds a special place in my heart. Itâs a solid episode. Good establishment of what the show is. Fun villain. Good times. Fond memories. 10/10
6.    Riposte- Listen, I know Iâm an Adrinette stan, but hear me out: Ladrien. Itâs just so good. And Kagami was compelling in this episode. It was just really solid. Itâs my favorite s2 episode. If you ask me if I want to rewatch Riposte, the answer is always yes. 10/10. We stan.
7.    Gorizilla- Okay, so this episode has some solid Adrinette in it, but the real reason it ranks so high is that fucking Ladrien trust fall. I stare at that scene for hours, you guys. HOURS. It is absolutely just *chefs kiss*. Sometimes when I need a pick-me-up, I just go watch gifs of that catch on loop. 10/10. Beautiful. Radiant. Carefree.
8.    Gang of Secrets- I have been keeping most of my opinions to myself about s4 (mostly because Iâve backed way the hell out of this fandom), but GoS was pretty solid. Gotta say, itâs the first episode in a long time with this show that made me actually excited to see what happens next. Most other episodes I was like, okay, that was cute. The show is still meh overall. But GoS really got me like oh shit, is ML good again? 10/10 for making me feel things again.
9.    Oblivio- Told you guys this one was probably rated higher than I thought. Oblivio is just really fun. There is good Adrinette. That âNo wonder I fell in love with youâ paired with the softest of Adrien smiles just sends me. And the kisses. The unquestionable trust. These two kids literally woke up together alone in an elevator with no memories and said welp, youâre my boyfriend/girlfriend obviously, I donât make the rules. Honestly, how anyone could argue that these two dorks arenât made for each other after that episode is beyond me. 9/10
10. Backwarder- Okay, I know I am weird and alone for this one, but I really liked this episode. It got a lot of shit for the constipation capsule thing at the end, but like who cares? We finally got some more backstory on Fu. He got a love-interest who is dope as hell. This episode is my favorite lucky charm use ever. Like that queen DID that. I like Backwarder, guys! Fuck off. 9/10.
11. Kwamibuster- We all know I am a Marinette-stan by this point, but our girl was SHINING this episode. This bitch said gimme all them and let me go whoop this bitchâs ass, and she DID. Hawkmoth could never. Multimouse is a gift, and Marinette is a boss ass queen.  9/10
12. Chat Blanc- Listen, this episode was very good. I enjoy the idea of my children being happy in another timeline somewhere very much. We got all 4 sides of the square in an episode. Itâs just really solid. I know this is the fandomâs favorite, and everyone is gonna shit their pants because it didnât make my top 10, but this is my list. So, I put it at number 12. Itâs good. I like it. It just didnât steal my wallet like other episodes did. Put the pitchforks down. Itâs gonna be okay, you can still love it more than me. 8/10
13. New York Special- I know everyone felt some type of way about this special, but I wasnât mad at it. My perception of it might be clouded because I watched it in Disney World where I was chilling and having a great time, but like this special really did somethings for me. The Adrinette was top tier. Tippy top tier. Even though they hurt us in the end, I am okay with it because it just means the children will grow and come out stronger. I donât care if itâs not technically canon. Ask me if I give a fuck. I donât. I had fun here. 8/10. Solid.
14. The Collector- This one might shock a lot of you, but let me paint you a scene. Itâs the first episode of s2. We have just come off a 2 year hiatus. The fandom is thriving. Weâre hungry for canon content. We have hopes and dreams and expectations. Everyone is going wild with theories. This episode confirmed something that was long since obvious (in my opinion) and ended the stupid arguments people had been having. It made Gabriel actually seem semi-competent. We got our first taste of how Chat/Adrien will react to his dad being Hawkmoth. We got a peek at their life. Adrienâs isolation and sadness. They were so close to figuring it out. The battle was epic. Like Collector really had them on the ropes there for a second. Itâs a solid episode, yall. Iâm not wrong. Hate me all you want, but this episode brought it. 8/10
15. Despair Bear- Is this episode up this high because of the Adrinette slow dance scene? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT IS. Okay, but fr though, shipping aside, this episode gave us hope that Chloe was actually gonna redeem herself. I mean, she didnât but, we didnât know that at the time. Seeing her run around trying to be nice was fun. And then she actually did something good, and we had a moment of okay, sheâs capable. Weâll get there. We didnât. But what a ride this episode was for making us think she would. 8/10
16. Startrain- Cat, youâre just ranking all the Adrinette episodes highest. And? What of it? Are you surprised? You clicked a blog that has simping for Adrinette in the description, and youâre surprised all my favorite episodes have Adrinette? Iâm not wrong, youâre just an idiot. The Adrinette nap cuddles aside though, this was a pretty good episode. If you donât think too hard about the whole space thing, we got a look at Maxâs life, his mom is a driven, smart lady doing her best. Adrien rebels against papa for once. Alya stops a Lila scheme. Chloe gets to play the hero. Alya and Nino actually investigate like the heroes they are. Gabriel gets to realize what a dumbass bitch he is. I mean. Guys. Startrain is solid. 7.5/10
17. Sapotis- This one shot up in rank for me after GoS, but tbh itâs always been a solid episode. Alyanette sleepover? Check. Alya becoming a superhero? Check. Itâs a fun episode. And looking back, itâs nicely called back to later in GoS. We love it. 7.5/10
18. Sandboy- Idk why I enjoy this episode as much as I do, but I do. Sandboy is a cute bean. I love his aesthetic. We also get hilarious looks at everyoneâs nightmares. âPlagg, who turned you into a sock?â cracks me up cause like Adrien, bby, no XD And Chat Noirâs nightmare. I think it would have been interesting though if since Sandboy dusted the Agreste mansion, if we got a peek at Hawkmothâs nightmares. It would have been a nice hint of plot to go along with Master Fuâs nightmare. Also Plagg giving the akuma the slip like the clever boy we know he is deep down? 7.5/10
19. Furious Fu- If you guys havenât realized by now that I love Fu, idk what youâre doing. Pay attention. I know that some people donât like him, but Iâm just gonna say it, youâre wrong. Fu took care of the Miracle Box for over 100 years, and this episode kind of gives some insight to what the Order was like. Very strict. Lots of rules. And ya know what, Fu said fuck the police, Iâm gonna befriend these little magical demigods, and fuck off! Like what an absolute legend. I was really happy to see him living his best life, and that he and Marianne got married because itâs what he deserves. We love to see it. 7.5/10
20. Gamer- People like to shit on Marinette in this episode, but like honestly, if I were in her shoes, Iâd have probably done the same thing if I had the skill. Ainât nothing wrong with a girl trying to spend time with the boy she likes. And Tom and Sabine being absolute shipping trash. I love them. And the awkward Adrinette. The introduction of the lucky charm that Adrien STILL carries. Wholesome. This was a good episode for their friendship, and we love to see it. 7.5/10
21. Christmaster- Okay, I know a lot of people hated this episode when it aired, but I thought it was really funny? Everyone skidding around in the ice rink was hilarious. If you donât take this episode seriously, itâs really fun. Chris is pretty cute, and damn right Ladybug is the best kid in the world. Idk. This episode is fun. Iâm not mad at it. Sue me. 7.5/10
22. Weredad- What? Another MC-heavy episode in Catâs top 30? Listen, I donât hate canon MC. The fans just annoy me. This episode was funny. The secondhand embarrassment and cringe was real. Plagg taunting Adrien because he knows the secret was great. Marinette being a self-saving queen was great. Itâs a good episode. I like MC, you guys. I do. I swear! 7.5/10
23. Miraculer- This episode was interesting to me, and I think itâs still a good development episode. For one, Sabrina finally got her own akuma episode named after her. Secondly, because itâs a big step for Chloe, just not in the way we expected. It totally makes sense that Chloe canât have her Miraculous back because literally everyone knows her identity. Canât argue that logic. And she is the first person to ever refuse to become akumatized, so like mad respect. I know a lot of people had high hopes for redeemed Chloe (myself included), but I think watching a character fall from revering someone to hating them is also an interesting path. The friends to enemies arc as it were. Idk. I liked this episode. It was an opportunity for Chloe to grow, even if she didnât in the end, but weâll talk about that later. 7.5/10
24. Lady Wifi- I like Alya. I feel like I donât say that much, and people make some assumptions because of MDCSP, but MDCSP is just a concept I wanted to explore. It doesnât really reflect how I feel about any one character. Except maybe Lila. And Gabe. But every other spite fic Iâve written branching from Chameleon, the class has been fine. Alya has been fine. So, let it be known that I like Alya. Lady Wifi was a fun episode. Putting aside the fact that she thought Chloe was Ladybug for no reason, I like her akuma. I like the interactions we get with LadyNoir in this episode. After GoS, this episode gets a bit funnier. Itâs solid. 7/10
25. Dark Cupid- I donât have much to say about this one. LadyNoir. Thatâs it. Thatâs the tweet. Send it. 7/10
26. Volpina- So many things about this episode. It introduced a new antagonist who we didnât exactly 100% know was going to be an antagonist at the time. This episode sparked a lot of fun fan theories for a while. Who was Lila? How was she going to shake things up? Not to mention this episode gave us a taste of plot and lore, and set up Marinette meeting Master Fu officially. Lots of intrigue sparked from this episode. And that LadyNoir door scene? OOOOOO 7/10
27. Hearthunter- One word: Adrigaminette. This episode was so cute for them! I loved seeing them all goofing and running around together. Adrien and Kagami being absolutely in love with Marinette when her hair is down. They both love her, I donât make the rules. Not to mention, Marinette takes a big step by letting her friends be happy without her. Kagami not wanting to hurt Marinette. The drama!! Gabriel being a messy ass bitch to his friends. It loses points for the abomination of an akuma, but overall, I wasnât too mad at it. Yet. 7/10
28. Glaciator- More MC in Catâs top 30? Itâs more likely than you think. Listen. Listen⊠Listen. MC is fine. This episode was the closest thing to fanfiction that we got. The balcony scene was really sweet. I was drinking the irony. We got introduced to Andre the icecream fraud. Andre the please just give me the flavor I asked for man. I could have done without Chat pouting, but the LadyNoir in the end was pretty good. I wish theyâd done more with Ladybugâs feelings for Chat. Had her question herself a bit more after this one, but overall, itâs cute. 7/10
29. Zombizou- A lot of people started hating Mlle. Bustier after this episode, and like I can kind of see it, if I squint, but I did not draw that same conclusion from this episode. Mlle. Bustier just wants good things for all of her students. Theyâre 14 ffs, she just wants to be a good influence on all of her students and wants them all to be successful. But go off, I guess? Plus, this episode was basically just a spoof on zombie apocalypse movies. We got so many things. Julerose, Myvan, DJWifi. Chloe actually showing some depth and emotion. LadyNoir. We won this episode, babes. Sorry you didnât get the memo. 7/10
30. Timetagger- Okay. This is the last episode in the ones that Iâd venture to call âgood.â Number 30. I enjoyed Timetagger. I know people have feelings about timey-wimey bullshit, and like Iâm not gonna lie and say Iâm thrilled with it either (I mean, I changed the rabbitâs power in MDCSP) but that being said, Timetagger was so sassy. Bunnix was cool as hell. We get to see that LB and CN are still doing the thing in the future. So many questions sparked from this episode. It was fun. Idk. I liked it. Thatâs all I got. 7/10
31. Malediktator- Okay, from this point on, less comments because this is the section that are more or less just meh to me. Like theyâre fine. This episode was fine. Chloe was fine. Chat playing with the laser was cute. 6.5/10
32. Mayura- Adrienâs speech at the end. Nuff said 6.5/10
33. Ikari Gozen- Ryuko/Ryuuko. Gals being pals. 6.5/10
34. Reflekdoll- I talked about this earlier, but I donât hate this episode. Itâs not as bad as people make it out to be. Sue me. 6.5/10
35. Anansi- Nino is the goodest boy. Also I need more of the gang taking Adrien on adventures via Facetime. Stat. 6.5/10
36. Shanghai- This one is new, and tbh I still havenât watched it with subs, but I had a good time. Fei was cute. The boy squad was cute. Adrien bonding with Great Uncle Cheng was cute. Hawkmoth getting literally dunked on was *chefs kiss* 6.5/10
37. Gigantitan- I love overly supportive, ride-or-die girl squad. 6.5/10
38. Party Crasher- Idk why this episode was funny to me. Kim is the purest bean. We donât deserve him. 6.5/10
39. Desperada- This episode was an emotional roller coaster, and even though we all collectively hate Aspikâs stupid egghead, we love the Ladrien this episode provided us. 6/10
40. Oni-chan- Listen, I loved seeing Lila get a tiny bit of karma even if she made it up in the end. I loved Chat going off on her. I loved seeing her get outsmarted in the end. 6/10
41. Frightningale- My good lesbian Clara Nightingale. We stan. 6/10
42. Style Queen- I like Audrey in a âsheâs the worst person Iâve ever met, I want to travel the world with herâ kind of way. Sheâs funny to me. Idk. I love her firing everyone. Sheâs the one I love to hate. Sheâs the worst, but we love her for it. Plus this episode gave us Plaggâs adorable little Cataclysm that destroyed half the city. 6/10
43. Gamer 2.0- Chat confidently strutting in heels made this episode worth it. And we get to see the beginning of Marinette being overwhelmed. Plus it was the return of gamer!nette. 6/10
44. Troublemaker- I donât hate this episode as much as the next person either. It was fine. Jagged is a manchild, but we love him for it. Heâs a Marinette stan which like mood. The Adrinette at the end was cute. I wasnât mad at it. Idk. Itâs fine. 6/10
45. Reflekta- Where are all my Juleka stans at? I loved the LadyNoir banter in this ep. V. cute. 6/10
46. Dark Owl- This episode was fun. And it really shows their level of trust. Plus Plagg and Tikki interacted. 6/10
47. Timebreaker- Have I ever mentioned that I like Alix? I like Alix. 6/10
48. Silencer- I donât hate this episode as much as youâd expect me to, and that is 100% because of the LadyNoir. 5.5/10
49. Prime Queen- Chat purrs. 5.5/10
50. Syren- I think the fish power-up is adorable. Ondine is a gem. Kim is a pure bean, but we been knew. 5.5/10
51. Befana- I like Gina, but this episode fell flat for me. Almost as flat as the animation. 5.5/10
52. Reverser- Another episode that everyone hates that I am actually fine with. This episode made me like Nathaniel more. Probably because I was previously indifferent toward him. Marc is cute too. 5.5/10
53. Mr. Pigeon- Marinette is one clever girl. And the Adrinette hand-touch. 5.5/10
54. Felix- Felix is a gremlin of chaos. A true chaotic neutral. He gives his uncle the finger, and I think thatâs beautiful. 5.5/10
55. Truth- Bet you expected this episode to be higher. While I did enjoy watching toxic peopleâs world crumble, this episode still gets a meh from me dog. 5/10
56. Lies- The Adrigami was cute, and I respect Kagami as a character. The akuma could have been better tho. 5/10
57. Princess Fragrance- Not much to say here. 5/10
58. Copycat- 5/10
59. Bubbler- 5/10
60. Mime- 5/10
61. Animan- 5/10
62. Robostus- 5/10
63. Ladybug- This episode ranks this low purely because I donât care about GabeNath, and I hate that Lila won something in the end. But Adrien saying I wonât hesitate, bitch! At the end was nice to see. 5/10
64. Catalyst- I know I ranked Mayura way higher, but Catalyst fell flat for me. Like it was fine. Wasnât as into it though. 4.5/10
65. Puppeteer- One of my favorite lucky charm uses. 4.5/10
66. Pixelator- My favorite Cataclysm. 4.5/10
67. Horrificator- That almost-Adrinette kiss tho 4.5/10
68. Pharaoh- 4.5/10
69. Kung Food- 4.5/10
70. Rogercop- 4/10
71. Guitar Villain- 4/10
72. Dark Blade- 4/10
73. Bakerix- 4/10
74. Antibug- And now onto the bottom 10. To start us off, I will just say: UGH, this episode annoyed me. First of all, Sabrina didnât even get her own episode. Chloe was a piece of shit. Idk why they made Ladybug the one in the wrong when Chloe was being obnoxious. Ugh. 3/10
75. Captain Hardrock- Iâm gonna be honest. My apathy for this episode has grown into loathing. Toxic stans are 100% to blame. Birthday ruining, bitches. This is the reason I threw a breakup bash after Truth. Yall deserved it. 3/10
76. Christmas Special- I didnât hate this episode as much as everyone, but it still wasnât great. 2.5/10
77. Stormy Weather 2.0- This episode was really dumb. It didnât need to exist. 2.0/10
78. Queen Wasp- Why did we give Chloe a Miraculous after this episode? 2/10
79. Animaestro- Did we really need a self-insert? Did we really? 2/10
80. Puppeteer 2.0- Listen, this episode would have made more sense in s1 or at the very latest early s2. Adrien gave a whole ass speech on how great Marinette is, then he turns around and is like idk if she likes me⊠Clean it up. 2/10
81. Miracle Queen- I could talk at length about how much I hate the ending of this episode and what they did with Chloe and Master Fu, but weâre just going to remain calm and give it a solid 1.5/10
82. Frozer- This episode made no goddamn sense. I call bullshit on so many things. Just ugh. 1/10
83. Chameleon- Surprisingly, even though this episode sparked many, many spite fics out of me, itâs not my least favorite because at least Ladybug semi-redeemed this episode. Still really dumb and ooc tho. 1/10
84. Feast- Okay, okay, okay, here we are. Bottom of the barrel. Catâs most hated episode, and you wanna know why? You want to know why this episode fills me with the rage? Because we spent two fucking seasons building up all this mystery and lore and intrigue surrounding Fuâs big mistake, and they dropped the fucking ball! They did my mans so dirty! They could have really deepened his character, deepened the Order, deepened anything other than whatever fucking affair Gabriel and Nathalie have going on, but NO. They made it some stupid, bland-ass thing that got resolved magically in the end, then just ignored it for the rest of the season. I will never not be salty about how they did my boy Fu in this show. Iâm happy he found his peace, but fuck if Iâm not livid about how they did it. Whatever. Chat being done with Ladybugâs shit when theyâre about to get eaten was funny I guess. .5/10

The list of names
*scary music playing* Ok, guys, in the light of American Middle Eastern policy, that has once again brought me to tears, I decided to do something a bit happier (this is me trying to influence my followers to read the news and fight for the right thing and all that jazz). Iâve got a lot of asks recently, mostly from people new to the world of CC, about which creators are the best, so Iâve made this little list of the creators I download and use the most. This is not in any way a complete collection, I might have forgotten someone (and thereâs also plenty of creators I havenât discovered yet). Also, these are all build creators, mainly creating alpha CC. Please feel free to add to this list. Also also, the description Iâve used for the artists are totally my own making, so if you are a creator and feel like I am describing your work in an unfair way, go ahead and punch me in the face. If I was a new simmer, I would check out these creators: Retired: MXIMS - Makes modern, real life furniture with the best quality. Has many downloads left on their website. MINCSIMS - Similar to MXIMS (with some amazing collabs), also with a beautiful talent for doors and windows. Not many objects left in orbit, but google is your friend. DAER0N - Done everything from noodles to palms, but the recent Daer0n I would describe as gold, dark and modern, with 3D modeling skills out of this world. Retired, and much of the old stuff is gone, but some can be found at bloomingrosy. DOX - Similar to Daer0n with a slightly stricter, more wooden approach. The most underrated one of the retired giants. Has some downloads left on their website. ANBS - Super clean aesthetic. Modern, real life furniture. Many downloads left on their website. SLYD - Mostly known as a CAS creator, but has the amazing shoes and bags available as decor. All downloads left on the website. HVIKIS - Wallpapers and wall art. All downloads left on the website. VIIKIITA - Recolors to die for. Not many objects left in orbit, but google is your friend. Active (I think. I hope. I donât know): ARSBOTANICA - Previously simshamlet. Does really lovely, vintage aesthetic perfume bottles and amazing flowers. SLOX - A personal favorite. Modern, Iâd say. And realistic. But often with objects you didnât even know you needed, that ends up being the main inspiration for the whole build. Like some folded shirts, or a stack of books. 13PUMPKIN - A long with Artvitalex this is the best wood creator in the community. The sets are kind of like âsmall-lovely-family-homeâ-style, but can be used in big, modern builds with equally outstanding results. WONDYMOON - My by far most used creator. The most organized one too, Iâd say. All sets match eachother, and are easy to find (and are all named by elements, this guy is a rock star). PYSZNYDESIGN - The Kilburn set is to die for. MEINKATZ - Literally replicas of real life furniture, with their history and all. Honestly the coolest thing ever. Also, a really nice person. PRALINESIMS - The best floor and wall creator, hands down. I donât know if this is really the person I should tag tho, so Iâll tag @cross-designâ and hope for the best because I honestly still donât know who is who. I love them both tho. THE TSR GIANTS: SEVERINKA, KARDOFE, UNG999, SIMMAN123, PILAR, ARTVITALEX, ANGELA, DOT, BUFFSUMM, SHINO and NYNAEVE - Yes, a lot of the creators I mention here are active on TSR and a lot of my TSR giants are active elsewhere, but I still, maybe arbitrary, like to put these under the TSR flag because they represent that wonderful vibe of big sets, certain room types and signature colors. PEACEMAKER - a true legend. Some of the CC is borderline MM, but that is what makes them so perfect. They go with both themes. MIO - This is the first creator I downloaded from and they will always have a special place in my heart. Brilliant conversions, flower sets, seating, everything. NOVVVAS - A way too humble person that claims she is not the best in the game, when she truly is out of this world. RIGHTHEARTED - who I have been referring to as neiden my whole life because I am an idiot. TINGELINGLATER - Does a lot of things but blessed all of us with windows and since then I am in love. ANYE - Pinkbox Anye, to be correct. Lovely person. Lovely sets. Unique eyes. Adore this one. FOREVERDESIGNS - Will literally transform your bedroom. And kitchen. And life. BLACKMOJITOS - Build sets and sexy, stunning posters (and a basket every now and then). Also up for commissions, I just noticed. Go throw money at her. She is amazing. KAI-HANA - Has a totally unique style, where everything is alpha, but still has a beautiful, clayish touch to it. Underrated. AROUNDTHESIMS - A bit on the MM side, so if youâre looking for that MM/alpha mix, this is for you. Extremely productive. Does everything and more. CHERRY-SIMS - A part from the CC, this is also the best picture editor Iâve ever seen. I am a huge fan! CONCEPTDESIGN - Did someone say trees? YUMIA - Soft flowers, old school touch, vintage AGGRESSIVEKITTEN - Literally killed half the community with the recent brutalism set, which without a doubt will be voted best CC of 2020. Also, where else would you go for both beautiful, vintage objects AND a tarot card reading? Weirdly obsessed with seals. Makes amazing lots. I love you. DSCO - I gave up trying to spell this creators full name after the sixth attempt. I would describe the CC as cute. But not in the condescending (that I could spell) way. More in a bad-ass-I-need-all-of-these-objects-kind-of-way! KKB - My ignorant and uneducated ass wants to call it Korean, and I am sorry if this isnât the right way to describe anything. Soft, pastel but at the same time very cool, with rattan and wood. DR GREENIE - Former Green Girl. Mostly MM, but has made some of my most used decor objects. HELEN - Extremely productive. Does everything. NIKADEMA - Has made my favorite sink! PQSIMS - Makes sets. Usually light wood. LUNATICAVILLAGE (2SIS) - Another underrated favorite. Everyone should go here and show as much love as possible! LAVI3ENROSE - A creator that entered my world quite recently. Art deco. Bronze. Gold. And the best wrapped Christmas presents of 2019. DDAENG SIMS - Another giant that recently changed their name (used to be dreamteamsims). FELIXANDRE - The best historical creator (as in making epic shit that would create the most wonderful castle). Sometimes a bit on the MM side with the furniture, and that contrast makes it, in my eyes, even better. SIMCREDIBLE - Sets. Color matching. Often light and modern. I use their decor stones in every single one of my . SOLORIYA - MM creator. But even for us alpha bitches there are wonderful stuff (I think this is the case for most MM artists, I just donât know so many of them). XELENN - Also does literally everything. One can scroll this blog for hours. OWL-PLUMBOB - Amazing build objects. SANOYSIMS - A long with MXIMS, Iâd say this is one of the most ârealisticâ artists. WINNER9 - To me, this creator is all about the amazing wall art. But of course they make other stunning objects too. Marble tables, anyone? SJAMBOKSIM - My most used concrete walls (and I use concrete A LOT). AIFIRSA - Totally different style from everyone else. Absolutely love this aesthetic. VIVIAN STUDIO - This sounds weird, but their onions are the best object in my game. Donât judge. HEURRS - A quite new creator who blew my mind with some recent candles and earned my first reblog since 456 BC. Love you. I am forgetting so, so many. Please, I sometimes canât even remember my own name, so donât feel hurt if I missed you. PLEASE comment your favorite creators below! Where would you advice new simmers to start looking for good CC? Love you guys!!!

Julieâs incredibly aesthetic incredibly autumny list of movies that she maybe recommends (part 2)
Oh sweet joy! It turns out that there are many more great, fantastic, cosy movies (and tv-series!) just absolutely perfect for autumn. By popular demand, I return with even MORE autumny recommendations, and this time, there might even be spell-checking. (Looking at you, âSilence of the Lampsâ) (I wonât edit that, because thatâs just funny.)Â
Thank you for reading the previous one, and I hope youâll enjoy this one too! We have some GREAT ones coming up. I hope! Maybe! But what I believe will really perfect this second list, is the fact, that autumn is close to being at its peak right now, with it being October! Woohoo!Â
Pumpkins, Jackâoâlanterns, spooky movies, Halloween, tricks and treats, fog, rain, candles lit in the dark, delicious tea, and scarves, because the chill is back in the air! Amazing! The aesthetics are to die for!Â
Iâm on a small break from university, and have actually been having some allowed free time, to do autumny stuff. By this I mean I can do autumny stuff with my family and friends, and not feel guilty, because this time Iâm not procrastinating. Well, Iâm a little behind on some books, but itâs not that bad. Youâre allowed free time on breaks! Theyâre supposed to be mostly free time, anyone knows that. I refuse to be a good student on breaks!Â
This free time means that I have actually had time to watch some of these movies and tv-shows myself, and so I can feel a little better about recommending most of them, since Iâve actually seen them. Hehe. Still. I do have other, boring stuff to do, like reading for uni, emptying the dishwasher, cooking, vacuuming, etc., so there will be some of these Iâm including, I have not watched, and those will be, again, backed by the power of optimism. Yay! Anyway! Youâve read enough not-halloween recommendationing, and is getting bored - Letâs get to it! (Also, these are still in random order, and I will put warnings at the end, again <3)
Coraline
I remember watching Coraline when it came out in theaters, years ago. I also remember that we had a little closet-thing in the wall, small and closed-up, but still very similar to the one she goes into, in the movie. Needless to say, this was not a favorite for little Julie, who was absolutely scared shit-less by this movie. I remember button-eyes, decaying puppets, and a very scary mom. Now, I have not watched the full movie since, but from bits and pieces through the years, I can wholeheartedly recommend this one. Itâs stop-motion, the details are incredible, and wow, this movie is great. If you, like me, are no longer 9 years old, watch it! Itâs wonderful, and surprisingly, very feel-good in the family aspect. A great movie!
Official synopsis:Â
An adventurous 11-year-old girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but it has sinister secrets.
//Warning: do not watch this, if you are around nine years old. It will absolutely traumatize you about small closets in old houses. If you are not nine years old, I think youâre good! Just the right amount of spookyness, I believe!
Sense and Sensibility
I watched this with a good friend in february, I think. So Iâm not sure why I think this has to go on an autumny list, but I stand by it! Maybe itâs the beige and brown, beautiful clothing, the many shots of nature, and the relationships between these characters, that fits very well with the cold and chilling air, we find ourselves in, here in lovely October. I donât know. Food for thought. But this is a great movie, and I really think you should try watching it under a blanket, with tea and a good friend. We didnât know the story before we saw it, and it had us guessing! And there is a part my other friend Sif told me, always makes her dad cry, and I think that should be taken as a compliment to this movie! Itâs great! Love, sisters, crisis and period drama (and great clothes), this movie has it all! (also - Emma Thompson!)
Official synopsis:Â
Rich Mr. Dashwood dies, leaving his second wife and her three daughters poor by the rules of inheritance. The two eldest daughters are the title opposites.
//Warning: It might make you cry. But I promise, it will be a good experience, in the end. Itâs not scary, though.
Over the Garden Wall (animated series)
Well, this one, Iâve been dreading to add to my list. Now, you must not misunderstand, itâs not because I donât like it. Itâs because this series is so great, so weird, so beautifully drawn and made, that Iâm afraid I could write a whole blog post dedicated only to Otgw, and still not feel that I have done it justice. It's just so good. Itâs like the someone just decided one day, to make a series, that absolutely, perfectly encompasses autumn and halloween, and then did just that. The storyline is good, the art is good, the soundtrack is good. God, the soundtrack. Iâve also made sure to listen to this showâs soundtrack, since we left summer behind, and itâs just so good. Thereâs a reason tumblr went wild, when this show was first released. But since this is an AUTUMNY list, let me focus on those aspects. Big dark woods, scary noises in the dark, red and golden leaves, fantastical beings - this show has it all, and trust me, it WILL get you in the mood for autumn. I almost started puking leaves and pumpkins when I watched this with my friends, thatâs how pumped it got me. This show has a special place in my heart, and if you promise not to tell all the other movies and shows on the list, Iâll admit something: this might be a favorite of mine. Maybe THE autumny favorite.Â
Official synopsis:
Two brothers find themselves lost in a mysterious land and try to find their way home.
Warning: May be a little spooky, but I have it on good authority from a friend that is a true scaredy-cat, with nerves of whipped cream, thatâs itâs fine. She  could handle it, watches it every year, and sheâs fine. Good levels of scary. Â
Corpse Bride
Believe it or not, that same scaredy-cat of a friend, I just mentioned, actually instructed a musical, based on this story. Is she a horror-fan or not? I have no idea, but her show was so well-done, that it actually made me like this movie a bit better. I have seen it before, but she convinced me, by telling me the original story behind this movie, that itâs pretty great. And by association, this movie became pretty great, too. Itâs been some years since I saw this, but itâs a pretty good halloween movie, I think. Dead people tormenting the living. Classic autumn stuff, I would say. And itâs pretty well-made, I think, stop-motion again! I like the aesthetic of a corpse bride, though you have to admit the actual thing is pretty sad. The premise is haunting and scary, but itâs more morose, melancholic and depressing, I think. Poor Emily. But a good movie! Sorry, maybe that wasnât a very enticing description, but I promise, it will do you more good than bad, to watch it. And then go google the original story, the movie is based on!Â
Official synopsis:
When a shy groom practices his wedding vows in the inadvertent presence of a deceased young woman, she rises from the grave assuming he has married her.
//Oops, nearly forgot a warning! Warning: some people are dead, and therefore rotting a bit. If youâre squeamish, donât watch. If you love sad love stories, definitely watch!
Harry Potter and the Sorcererâs Stone
Yeah, Iâm not sure why this has to go on my Autumny List either, sorry. It just has to. I know it takes place over an entire year, but in my head, it jut fits very well with the whole magic, supernatural, foggy halloween times we find ourselves in. I mean, look at the cover! Maybe itâs the iconic scene, right before the troll is discovered in the girlsâ bathroom (sorry, spoiler), with the floating jackâoâlanterns, and tables almost crashing undet the weight of candy and cakes, that convinced my brain, that this is a halloween movie. I donât know. Just trust me on this, and watch the first Harry Potter movie. Itâs pretty good.Â
Official synopsis:Â
An orphaned boy enrolls in a school of wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world.
//Warning: Nah, youâre good ;-)
Little Women (Important: 2019 edition)
Alright girls, weâre hopping genres again! This is another period-drama (sort of), about sisters, and wow, I cried to this. I bawled, I sobbed, I choked on snot, and was a little inconsolable, when I watched it with friends, at the cinema. One of the best experiences this year, and one of the greatest movies I have watched in a long time. I love everything about this movie: the family-bonds, the clothing, the many nature-shots, the developments of characters, (almost) all the characters, and just, wow. No good way to end that sentence, because I want to just keep describing all the good parts of this movie, because it's everything. Itâs amazing, and yes, iâm exaggerating, but I canât help it. I forgot to eat my popcorn or drink my water, when we watched this, thatâs how mesmerized I was by this movie. I love Jo, I think I can empathize a lot with her, and if I could talk to her, if she was real, I would thank her for telling her story. This movie is great, you should watch it, because it makes you feel so warm inside.Â
Official synopsis:
Jo March reflects back and forth on her life, telling the beloved story of the March sisters - four young women, each determined to live life on her own terms.
//Warning: Might make you break down crying. But in a good way. Very cathartic, actually.
Alien
I watched this for the first time last year, when I decided I was going to watch the classic older horror movies, and not freak the fuck out. I mostly succeed. And this movie was a joy to watch. Thatâs maybe weird to say about an alien horror movie, but wow I just love Sigourney Weaver, and the aesthetics of this movie. The story is thrilling, and I really did not like most of the characters, I thought they were hysteric and annoying, but I still rooted for them. Itâs a different kind of horror movie, thatâs for sure! But when I watched it, I totally understood why it has become such a classic.
Official synopsis:Â
After a space merchant vessel receives an unknown transmission as a distress call, one of the crew is attacked by a mysterious life form and they soon realize that its life cycle has merely begun.
//Warning: Uh, yeah, Sif, this is not one for you. Itâs gross and scary. Malin, I think youâll like this one! Go ahead! Maybe we should see it together?
Edward Scissorhands
Havenât seen this one! I want to, though. I think Iâve seen one scene, where this man accidentally pokes a water-bed, and younger me felt that was a very tragic thing, on more levels. Johnny Depp yet again, so it has to be good, right? I know this poor guy, Edward, has it rough, and was given some really not that practical hands. Man, he looks sad, huh? So maybe more sad than scary, yet again. Dont know! But I really do want to watch it. Winona Ryder is in this, too, so really, itâs a no-brainer!
Official synopsis:
An artificial man, who was incompletely constructed and has scissors for hands, leads a solitary life. Then one day, a suburban lady meets him and introduces him to her world.
//Warning: I donât know? Maybe not that spooky? I think itâs more sad, to be honest.
Pride + Prejudice + Zombies
I mean, why the hell not - right? I love Jane Austen. I love Pride and Prejudice. And I really like halloween, so OF COURSE, Iâm including this one. Iâve seen it, too. My friend Malin and I watched it a couple of years ago, and yeah, itâs good. Itâs not high cinema, no, but I donât need that. It was a fun, weird twist, and sometimes, thatâs all you need. There is a very interesting scene with a corset, that was NOT in the book, and I think it really added something to this story. And Lily James. Whew. Great movie. Great for autumn. I will be watching this one again.
Official synopsis:
Five sisters in 19th century England must cope with the pressures to marry while protecting themselves from a growing population of zombies.
//Warning: I canât really remember, but I think thereâs some pretty gross scenes with zombies. Rotting flesh is NOT pretty. But just close your eyes for that, and  youâll be good!
The Haunting of Hill House
I first watched this series when i came out some time ago. I never finished it, I donât think my heart was in it, but by no fault of the show. Now, that the same creator has made another show, which my mom and I are hooked by, and almost through, I think Iâll be returning to this one - it deserves another chance! A great old house, ghosts, family secrets and INCREDIBLE aesthetics, mean there must be something here! Also, I think itâs based on a novel by Shirley Jackson, and itâs supposed to a classic horror novel, and Stephen King tweeted that he liked it, so yeah, itâs promising! The series Iâm watching with my mom is spooky, but tumblr says the Haunting of Hill House is supposed to be much more spooky, terrifying, even, and I really want to find out if thatâs true!
Official synopsis:
Flashing between past and present, a fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it.
//Warning: Very Scary! Faint of heart - Beware! Just enjoy this beautiful gif of Nell dancing by herself, and move on <3
Psycho
Another old classic! Woo! Have not watched, but really, I feel like thatâs almost a crime by now. I HAVE to watch it. Soon, Iâm planning to. Sadly, Itâs old, and I grew up with the internet, so Iâve been spoiled oh so dreadfully, and knows all the bloody details and plottwists of this oldie but goldie. But I still want to watch it! It must be a classic for a reason - right? Also, Iâve never seen the full version of the famous shower scene, and thatâs just embarrassing. Shame on me.
Official synopsis:
A Phoenix secretary embezzles $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run, and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother.
//Warning: Itâs a horror classic! Itâs gotta be scary. Then again, it DID come out in 1960. Be careful about this one! Sorry, I have no idea, have never watched it.
Hannibal (the TV series)
Itâs gross, itâs scary, itâs aesthetic, there is a danish elegant man eating people in snowy Baltimore, and you really shouldnât pay him to be your psychiatrist. Hannibal! I first watched this as a young, edgy teenager, and all the blood and gore didn't get to me at all - I just enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game between Will Graham, our main character, very mentally unstable, and a dog-lover, and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a renowned psychiatrist, elegant, high-society - and also, he talks like a mixture of the bible and an old greek sonet. What I'm trying to get at is that this show is weird. Good weird. But also, now no longer an edgy teenager myself, itâs really gross. A manâs leg is cut off and served to himself. Thatâs gross. I didnât like that, and I definitely covered my eyes. Other than that, itâs a very vivid show, with great focus on presentation and symbolism. I would love for someone to analyse each episode, because there's so much attention to detail. Itâs honestly impressive. And after having watched many, many shows about crime and murders, I must say, this show has THE most buckwild, creative, never seen before ways of killing people. How the hell do you come up with a murderer using peopleâs different skin colors to make a mural? I donât know. Itâs disgusting, but man is it different. Iâm halfway through season two, and there is a lot to unpack! Also, have to mention, very homoerotic - thatâs a plus. Donât think I couldâve stomached all the blood, otherwise. I hate blood, and wow is there blood in this show.
Official synopsis:
Explores the early relationship between renowned psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter, and his patient, a young FBI criminal profiler, who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.
//Warning: Yeah. You read how many times I wrote âgrossâ. Just trust me on this one, itâs gross. Itâs good, but maybe donât watch it. You donât need to introduce your brain to this.
The Haunting of Bly Manor
Ooh boy. Ooooh boy. This series is very good. VERY good. Iâm watching it with my mom right now, I think weâre at episode 7, and wow are we hooked. Itâs spooky, itâs haunting, itâs thrilling, itâs mysterious, and wow is it scary. We both agreed to go together, the first night we watched this, and our dog had to be taken out on his night-walk. She didnât want to go alone, and i didnât want to stay back at the house, alone. So we went together, and I was so freaked out that I nearly peed my pants, when some kids screamed in our neighborhood. Itâs so very much what I want a ghost-story to be, but itâs also a lot more, and much greater for it. I love all the characters, theyâre all so well-rounded, and most of them are good. The big manor is spooky, and the woods surrounding it are foggy and dark, and yes, this is really a great series for autumn and halloween. Itâs the second series made by Mike Flanagan. There are some similarities between the two shows, and surprisingly, some of the same actors! I think thatâs very interesting, and it also made me very confused, as I watched the first episodes of the Haunting of Bly Manor, and could not, for the life of me, figure out where the hell I had seen these people before. It made it even more eerie in a way, and I appreciate that. I love this show, and I think Iâll be very sad when weâre through with it. I guess the natural thing to do, will be to follow up with Flanaganâs previous horror series, The Haunting of Hill House! Also, thereâs lesbians in this one. Very nice. I appreciate that. Also, surprisingly - I love the children! Theyâre so cool and brave, and it would be very nice if especially Flora could go with me, the next time Iâm going to a haunted house. Such a badass.
Official synopsis:
After an au pairâs tragic death, Henry hires a young American nanny to care for his orphaned niece and nephew who reside at Bly Manor with the chef Owen, groundskeeper Jamie and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose.
Warning: Itâs spooky. Itâs the perfect halloween series, so of course itâs very spooky! This gif I chose is spooky, and I promise the show itself is worse. But if you can handle dead people creepily staring in the background, and maybe has someone to watch it with, I think youâll be fine!
Alright! We made it! Another spooky, aesthetic, autumny list, for us to enjoy this crispy season! Woohoo! Also, Iâm sorry if thereâs any spelling mistakes or whatelse, I hope you enjoyed reading anyway! Thank you! Now go drink some tea and relax, youâve earned it. I recently tried chili-tea, and damn, thatâs another recommendation from me! It was amazing!
Hope you have a great Halloween, itâs close now. Watch out for the cold weather, remember to bundle up, and donât let the impending darkness get you down. Light some candles! And also, watch some of these spooky tv-series and movies with your family and friends! And have a great fall! <3
Love, Julie

I donât know if you remember or even realize this but back in the olden days when shit would go down in our old rp I remember we would just side chat about music and stuff and it would make me feel so much more calm and I just think you are such a wonderful amazing person who cares SO MUCH and puts your WHOLE HEART into things and I just really appreciate that about you. And Iâm so happy I get to keep writing with you <3 @mrsrcbinscn
Sid, MY BRO <3 You were the first person I plotted with when I first came back and you are just so thoughtful and intentional and such an amazing writer. I literally could not believe my eyes that there was already a Ferb in the RP when I brought Phineas (and tbh... I am not sure I would have brought him if not for you so thank you so much for that). And I also really love Henry and Eric so much, they are such a unique and special dynamic and I love that our niche is just boys with really deep bonds. Oh and I also have to say your description of Bob and Charlie literally made me tear up you are so talented and Iâm so lucky to get to write with you!!! @maritimeericandersenâÂ
Silv, you are a worldbuilding genius and I love this unique story weâve built with our girls and Iâm so excited to see where it goes. Whenever I see I have a message from you Iâm so excited!! And you are genuinely such a kind and understanding person not to mention HILARIOUS Flynn is so funny and amazing and I remember watching that Lobster Palace stuff go down and truly I still donât understand but I thought it was so great and I just love off the wall muses. Like your RANGE omg. I am in AWEEE @all-a-man-has
20. Write some love for three Muses of your choice!
LACHLANN FREAKING MCNABB: Name a guy who is more involved in his community, more willing to befriend a total stranger no matter how batshit, more ready to literally expend his financial resources just because someone is going through it!!! Launchpad is the definition of community and honestly it makes me wanna do more stuff with him and Tiana... remind me to hit you up. Btw thank you x100000 Jean for giving me that beautiful quitting thread for Tiana with him I just really admire your ability to take things to a crazy new level and youâre never afraid to dive in and take a risk @lachlann-macnabâ
Rapunzel!!! Iâm so glad Sloane brought her back because she is so sweet and I really love this direction she is going in where sheâs looking to redefine her sense of family. I think quite a few characters are dealing with similar things and I really want to see that happen for her <3 @rapunzelcorcnaâ
Pip/Boba: Pip is always rent free in my head but especially lately and I was just rereading our future AU thread from Wrimo and gahh I just think Pip is so great. I really love how Lauryl has shaken things up with The Spill and I love seeing her take the things I send and totally run with them in such fun and wild directions. And I just want to say AS i was typing this Lauryl posted a Phinnip aesthetic that definitely didnât make me cry so yeah!!!!! @exsqueak-me

Ten Characters Tag
I was somehow tagged by the wonderful @dialovers-translationsâ???? Iâm not worthy of being mentioned by her. Anyways, hereâs the post. I am very bad at conveying my opinions so some of the descriptions might be a bit odd.
Rules: make a new post, name 10 of your favorite characters from 10 different fandoms that you like, and then tag 10 people.
1. Hanayo Koizumi (Love Live)
No offense, but if you didnât know I loved her, youâre fucking blind. Sheâs literally my profile picture and header. Anyways, Hanayo is my favorite anime character ever. She and I are very similar in that weâre shy introverts with glasses that love to sing despite having social anxiety. My friends that have watched the show say that weâre basically the same person. In fact, her birthday is 5 days after mine. Her voice is my favorite out of everyone elseâs voice in the Love Live series. Her old voice is to die for (if you donât know what Iâm talking about, listen to Love Marginal or Kodoku na Heaven). I could go on about her for hours, but Iâll stop here.
Honorable Mention: Honoka Kousaka
2. Rinko Shirokane (Bang Dream!/Bandori)
I. Love. Rinko. So. Much. My name in Bandori is âWorship Rinko/Lisaâ with one of my banners dedicated to her. Kinda the same reason why I like Hanayo so much, Rinko is similar to me in that we both have social anxiety and can play piano Iâm not good at describing this oof. Sheâs really beautiful and I love her gothic lolita aesthetic. Her voice is also really good (although I prefer Yurika Endoâs voice much more than Kanon Shizaki, her voice is still good)
Honorable Mention: Lisa Imai
3. Reiji Sakamaki (Diabolik Lovers)
(Fun fact about me: I get really shy looking at characters I think are hot so this was hard for me.) Iâm a really kinky person. Iâll be the first to admit it. Iâm a huge masochist and am 100% a sub. I also like guys that are smart and formal. So, Reiji is the perfect guy for me. I canât remember if he was always my favorite character (I watched the anime at least 5 years ago). However, I do know he was my favorite by the time I started reading the game translations (which were about a year and a half ago). Honestly, he can 100/10 tie me up and whip me any day.
Honorable Mentions: Laito Sakamaki, Ayato Sakamaki
4. Saeran Choi/Ray/Unknown (Mystic Messenger)
So, based off the three aformentioned characters, you can tell I like shy characters and sadistic, dominant characters. Well, Ray is a combination of the two. Although Jumin was my favorite before (that 2nd bad ending yes-), the image above is what sealed the deal. I got almost all his bad endings (could never get the 3rd and my friend was loaning me her account and wanted it back for a bit) and his true ending. The 2nd bad ending was my favorite ending of his route and tied for 1st for my favorite ending in the game (Juminâs aforementioned 2nd ending is tied with him). I prefer Unknown over Ray as heâs the type of sadist I like (plus, his theme is a bop).
Honorable Mention: Jumin Han
5. Wu Chang/Xie Biâan and Fan Wujiu/Black and White Guard (Identity V)
If you been on my blog at all, you know that I love Wu Chang as my header is âWu Chang is Daddyâ. I say this a lot in world chat in-game too. I have a whole folder dedicated to them on my computer. If you had to ask me which one I prefer, I couldnât answer that question. What I like about Xie (White) is his calm, gentle nature which is perfect for me because Iâm really shy and sensitive while Fan (Black)âs nature is aggressive and domineering which I also love. A fair few of my followers started following me for my Yandere Wu Chang fanfic (link to part 1 if you want to read it) so thanks for that.Â
Wu Chang can double penetrate me
Honorable Mentions: Yidhra (Dream Witch), Vera (Chloe) Nair (Perfumer)
6. Vincent Pait (Dead Wishes)
If you love yanderes and/or games with dark themes, Dead Wishes is for you. I love this game so much and, although I havenât finished playing yet, I can basically guarantee Vincent is best boi. Heâs like Reiji, but instead kidnaps you and chains you up in his house. However, he still does punish the MC a lot. Warning though: the game is not for the faint of heart (I was streaming Vincentâs route for my friends and one of them got so freaked out over a punishment, he banned me from streaming the game and mentioning Vincent).
7. Yuuya Kizami (Corpse Party)
Iâm one of the very few people that like Kizami. Practically everyone else hates him. If I wasnât a masochistic yandere fucker, I probably wouldnât like him either. But, youâve got admit. Heâs hot. I find is backstory interesting, as he was always the way he is. Unlike Morishige, the school didnât change him. Also, another very unpopular opinion, I really dislike Yuka. I find her really annoying. She acts like sheâs 8 when sheâs 14 or something. Because of this, I didnât mind her dying.
Honorable Mentions: Sachiko, Seiko Shinohara, Mayu Suzumoto
8. Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji)
Note: Along with Reiji, I had to work up the courage to search for pictures of him. Sebastian has been one of my favorite anime characters for awhile. I think I watched Kuroshitsuji in 6th grade, so that was awhile ago (Iâm not comfortable stating my age). I canât really describe why I like him so much. Heâs just... perfect. Heâs a gentleman and incredibly, but is a huge sadist as well which is a huge plus.Â
Honorable Mention: Ciel Phantomhive
9. Sal (Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea)
Ah, yes. The trash himself. Once again, I am in the minority because I like Sal. The rest of the fandom hates him, because heâs an asshole. I love him because a yandere. In fact, heâs one of the few male yanderes listed on the Yandere Wiki. I discovered WATGBS in 8th grade and instantly fell in love with him once he showed his true colours. The possessiveness. The obsession. All things I love in a lover.
Honorable Mention: Wadanohara
10. Aya Drevis (Mad Father)
Mad Father and Ib were the games that got me into horror. Although I wanted to put Mary from Ib on this list, I like Aya and Mad Father just a bit more. Aya is this cute, adorable girl that, as the game goes on, reveals her dark nature. She frequently killed her rabbits, albeit unknowingly, chainsawed someone in half, and then went on to use humans as parts for dolls. All in all, 10/10 character. Bonus Reason: I adore the aesthetic of Mad Father. I love the use of dolls in games. I love the themes. I love the yandere themes in it (even though itâs platonic). Mad Father is a great game.
Honorable Mentions: Alfred Drevis, Ogre, Dio
Iâm not tagging anyone because Iâm really antisocial and donât know many people on here-
#diabolik lovers#sakamaki reiji#hanayo koizumi#love live#bandori#rinko shirokane#yuuya kizami#corpse party#kuroshitsuji#black butler#sebastian michaelis#vincent pait#dead wishes#sal#watgbs#wadanohara and the great blue sea#Wu Chang#IdV#identity v#mystic messenger#saeran choi#ray mysme#unknown saeran

yet another tag meme
@ashfae didnât joke about tagging me in everything forever, even if that means two games in one day, and as a professional procrastinator I had to answer to both of them on the same day.Â
Nickname: I donât really have one. At home Iâm Kaja or Kajeczka (which is a completely different name), at work Iâm Ruda (Ginger), for my friends Iâm Karola. For one of my friends Iâm Fi, but only she can use it. Iâm kinda sad no one calls me what my grandmother used to, Hajduczek (which is a very complicated thing to explain and no one is interested in that), but I guess that would stay just her thing.
Zodiac: Virgo
Height: 164 cm
Last thing I googled: Names of the wall paints I used in my room. I was talking with my friend about posters I have and told her all that shit (really, I have A LOT of stuff) hangs on the walls in two colours and additional piece of wallpaper. I had to show her a bit of that, she liked the colours and since sheâs planning to renovate her bedroom a little, I looked for the name of the brand and colours I used.Â
Favorite song: Â At first I wanted to say itâs completely impossible to choose twenty, let alone one, and I refuse to answer this question, but then I sat for a while and thought about it, and I didnât have much problem with choosing. Itâs this one:Â
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYJix_D1qjM
Let me put it this way: thereâs not one person in Poland who doesnât know it, it was composed in the 60âČs, itâs still played in mainstream radio stations, Iâve heard it millions of times and I still can just sit and weep over itâs complete beauty. I should be resistant to that, but Iâm not. Iâm not going to translate the lyrics, because: 1. they were written first as a poem and that should be done by a professional, and 2. I donât believe it can be translated with keeping even 50% of itâs artistry. Itâs a happy song, about the autumn and the young love, and thatâs sounds very banal, but gosh... Every word is perfect. And the performance! CzesĆaw Niemen was and is and forever will be the pope of 20th-century Polish music, had the most beautiful voice Iâve ever heard, was extremely talented (he was a composer, lyricist, singer and multi-instrumentalist, seriously, he could play at least six completely different instruments), and his repertoire was very diversified, from big-beat, pop, rock, progressive rock, to even film scores and theatre music. One day Iâm gonna snap and just flood your dashes with his songs, and then hack your computers so youâd have to listen to his music 24/7. Or Iâm just going to make a huge playlist and post it every 15 minutes.
Number of followers: 139. Every time someone starts following me Iâm completely shocked; I have no clue how itâs possible that so many of you want to see all that chaos that is my blog on your dash.
Amount of sleep: Around six hours.
Lucky number: I donât believe in lucky numbers, but Iâm a great fan of 11.
Song stuck in my head:Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgkWs5p6Nk0
I fell into an abyss of Niemenâs music, I canât get out and I hope youâll stay with me there too.
Favourite Instrument: Piano. I really, really like clarinet and viola da gamba, but thereâs nothing like a piano.
Dream Job: A writer. A published one. But because thatâs very unlikely to happen, I would gladly work as an archivist in some very small, very quiet library/archive. I did that for two months as my student internship and... whatâs the English term for it... I think description - that was the most fun I ever had at work. Reading hand-written letters created between 1862 and 1891 and trying to understand who wrote it, to whom was it written, where, when, what about... Wonderful, I could spend eternity doing that. (But not describing photos, this is the punishment that awaits bad archivists when they die and go to hell, I did that for a week or two and almost lost my mind).
Aesthetic: Pretentious bitch covered in dark or intense colours that probably doesnât want to talk to you/pretentious but probably harmless doll whoâs trying to pretend itâs the 50âČs - basically wearing clothes that most people would maybe dare to put on if they were going to a wedding on Mondays at 9.00 a.m. Overdressed most of the time.
Favourite Author: This question is entirely not fair, I canât decide! Ok, Iâm gonna cheat a little bit: Iâd say Charlotte BrontĂ« for a novelist, and Charles Reznikoff for a poet.Â
Favourite Animal Noise: My catâs meowing when sheâs looking for me.
Random: I donât have many nice or entertaining stories or facts to share, but every time someone visits me, I make my mother tell them how she smuggled silver nitrate to Turkey in the 70âČs and almost got killed (and saw a man whose hair turned white in one night because of the stress and fear). It sounds awful, I know, but itâs so amazing I never get tired of listening about it. (That automatically reminds me how her parents sold 19th-or-18th-century furniture and a fucking Steinway, almost got robbed and what they did with the money from that sale, and itâs a completely different and very sad story, in my heart much sadder than my mother being in mortal danger, and Iâm not ready to talk about it yet).
Writing in a foreign language is exhausting, itâs 10 p.m. and I donât have the energy eat my supper, let alone think about tagging anyone, but please feel free to play if you want to and click those damn links if you even bothered to read all this mess, you will thank me later.

Go-to karaoke song: Video Games- Lana Del Ray
If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?: Mind Reading!
If you could visit a historical era, which would you choose?: Roaring 20s
If you could restart your life, knowing what you do now, would you?: No, I think the way my life is laid out is how itâs supposed to be. Iâve made mistakes and Iâve learned from them. I think if I were to restart my life, Iâd not be who I am at this moment and I like who I am right now, I like who Iâve grown to be!Â
Would you rather fight 100 chicken-sized horses or one horse-sized chicken?: 100 chicken-sized horsesÂ
If you were a trope in a teen high school movie, what would you have been?: The dancers/athletes!
Do you believe in aliens/supernatural creatures?: Iâm skeptical about them so yesÂ
Fun fact about yourself that not everyone would know?: If you look closely, my eyes are different shades of brown!
When did you post your first piece?: May 11, 2020
Why did you decide to write for Tumblr?: Iâve been on Tumblr for a long time, but Iâve only gotten into reading other accountsâ works 2-3 years ago. Eventually, they inspired me into wanting to make my own writing account and share my stories and ideas!
Are there any times when you regret joining Tumblr?: Nope!
What inspires you to write?: My emotions and ideas. Also reading old texts from people I love or used to be in my life, tv shows/movies/kdramas, vision boards, and aesthetics of different countries around the world. Most of the time, my mind just comes up with wild random scenarios.
What do you do when you hit a rough spot creatively?: I take a break! Iâd close my laptop and usually go dance (itâs a way for myself to take a break, yet still feel physically inspired), spend time with family, grab a snack, do some digital art, or research a conspiracy theory!
Do you write fluff/angst/crack/general/smut, combo, etc? Why?:Â Yes, I write smut (legal members only ofc), angst, and general. I write those kinds of genres because those are the most common and thereâs so much that you can do with them! You can write them however you want and write whatever kind of plot you see fit, thereâs so much flexibility.
Do you write OCs, X Readers, Ships...etc?: As of right now, I have been writing for âX Readersâ because I want to be really inclusive of everyone! I donât think Iâll go into OCs or ships (assuming idol and another idol?) because I donât see that as inclusive. I most likely will stick to âX Readersâ.
Who is your favorite person to write about?: Jaehyun from NCT
What genres/AUs do you enjoy writing the most?: Iâve only gotten to post one kind of au (arranged marriage au), but some that I have in my drafts that I absolutely enjoy are idol au, friends to lovers au, enemies to lovers au, mafia au, fwb au, and mythology au. A genre I also love writing is angst!
What is your writing process like?: I usually write at night after I shower and do my night routine. I plug in some headphones, play some music that fits the mood of the story presently, and start writing! If I have writerâs block, Iâll usually watch some old mvs that bring back old memories!
What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful?: I havenât published it yet, because itâs still under the wraps and I want to post about other members too, but I have a mythology au with Jaehyun and itâs my absolute favorite right now! I canât wait to post it!!
Do you think thereâs a difference between writing fanfiction vs. completely original prose?: Yes and no! Yes, because whenever I think of (original) prose I think of a technique of writing that flows naturally with speech and has grammatical structure, so as long as stories have those skills, I would consider them as so. We as humans actually speak, write, and think in prose because itâs seen as a straightforward language and conversational speech. No, because at the same time prose consists of many things. There are several types of prose (non-fictional, fictional, heroic, poetic), so if a story states that it is a specific prose, I would say there is a difference!
What do you think makes a good story?: Emotion 100%. The ability to write with emotions without straightforwardly telling the readers what kind of emotion is felt within a character. Also description of an environment, again, having the ability to describe a moment without stating it like itâs supposed to be obvious.Â
What do you hope your readers take away from your work?: The emotion that my writing invokes from them. I want them to read my work and feel the emotion that Iâm trying to provoke! Also the fact that I work hard and put a lot of thought while being realistic as I can with the plot!Â
Would you ever repurpose a fic into a completely original story?: Not yet!
What tropes do you love, and what tropes canât you stand?: Ones that I love are enemies to lovers, friends with benefits to lovers, friends to lovers, different worlds (metaphorically), and I have some more that I canât think of! Ones that I cannot stand are, stuck together to lovers, secret billionaire, childhood marriage promises, amnesia, and âIf i canât have you, no one will!!âÂ
What has been one of the biggest factors of your success (of any size)?: Definitely my process/planning; on how I think of a story and plan it out on my iPad with a bunch of side notes and idea webs.
How much would you say audience feedback/engagement means to you?: Oh, it means so much, I canât even explain. I love it when I get asks that tell me about how mad they are, how much they cried, or how happy they are about something that happened in the story. It means a lot because it means that they actually read through my work and enjoyed it. I love it when my followers and anons talk to me in general!
Do you think fanfic writers get unfairly judged?: Yes, I definitely think that we get judged for being too much in our head or having too many unrealistic fantasies. Fanfic writing is just another way of expressing our ideas simply with the person we adore from a group, it doesnât necessarily mean we fantasize it to happen.Â
Do you think art can be a medium for change?: Yes! I think that any idea from the mind that expresses emotion and inspiration visually or not, is considered an art. Thereâs a lot that goes into writing than what people think! Such as finding the creativity for metaphors in a story that will not only bring out emotion from the character and reader, but also a visual representation to symbolize the emotion.Â
Do you ever feel there are times when youâre writing for others, rather than yourself?: Yes, I always get asks asking me when Iâll update, but itâs not too much of a bother because I know theyâre just really excited for the next part or another set of work.Â
Do you ever feel like people have misunderstood you or your writing at times?: Not at all, I think I do a fairly good job at writing to the point where thereâd be no misunderstandings.Â
Do your offline friends/loved ones know you write for Tumblr?: No, I like to keep it private because Iâd rather have them not tease or make fun of me for what I genuinely like to do.Â
What is one thing you wish you could tell your followers?: That I literally love them all so much and I appreciate each and every one of them. I mean it from the bottom of my heart, theyâre all so nice, welcoming, and supportive. It encourages me to write more!Â
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers who might be too scared to put themselves out there?: Definitely go for it! Youâll never know until you try! There will be people who donât like it, but those who truly love your writing will support you forever, will stick around, encourage you, and lift you up. Be confident in your writing, be confident that your brain came up with such an amazing plot/story and has woven so many things together to create it!
Do you have any mutuals who have been particularly formative/supportive in your Tumblr journey?: I do have a few mutuals that I talk to. One of them has read my story and given such good feedback, which I loved because Iâm always looking for opportunities to grow as a writer.Â
Pick a quote to end your interview with: âThroughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.â -Will Smith

premise: two students start developing feelings for one another despite having too many secrets to count.
tagging: Â @cheshirecatbyul @junieyes @whaledenwtf @xoxomioxoxo @cherryvblossom @adidabach @sissieliang @patronusfire @rianrawr @gravitygemjj @aquariemm @storiiteller @fortisfiliae @imagines-all-day-everyday @redrupees @kurara-black-blog @pleuviors @songforhema @zaybmocx @justeveeeee @importanttyrantruler @sissieliang @milkchocolatepretzel @wontyoustandbyme
warnings: angst, sexual themes, descriptions of death, very morbid + disturbing imagery
a/n: this had been brewing in my mind since i read les diaboliques! thank you all for all the wonderful comments and kudos and all that jazz. truly. i started this project because there were no tom riddle fics, and if there were they were not nearly disturbing enough for my tastes. this last chapter is from tomâs point of view and i think you can already guess why. let me know what you think! thank you again for this amazing journey. it is finally time for the curtain to fall. p.s. thank you immensely to my seraph @macchiavellii for the aesthetic. divine, as per usual.Â

10. The Crimson Curtain/ Odette
There is not enough substance in this world to feed Tom Riddleâs desire for power â power over things that cannot be controlled, and power over people that simply adore him. He had always fancied himself completely in control; since moving to Hogwarts, he had built a new image of himself, a skilfully crafted mask that no one would question, or peer behind it if they did. He is charming, and handsome, and devilishly sly, yet he presents a tender disposition of a diligent student â everyoneâs dream. Â To him very few things matter and nothing matters very much. Yet there is this girl from his house, this gentle, naĂŻve creature that had enough heart to defend him from bullies that years later would worship him on their feet; the same, graceful, roseate cheeked figure giving him the upmost respect and adulation of which she, herself, has none. He was her first everything and he knew this and held this secret with silent pride: her first love, her first kiss, her first everything. And as fitting, or so he thinks, clearly and coldly, it started with him and it shall end with him â she will die in his hands like a swan taking her last bow on stage, in her prettiest white dress and refined movements, so precise they are hurtful, and it will be the most beautiful thing to witness and he anticipated that moment with bated breath and morbid, dark eyes, wild with wonder, drunk on lust.
The days slip by slowly at the Riddle Manor, its strange halls dark and the outside fields misty. The roses that had bloomed in the garden had wilted from the harsh wind; alien grey clouds dotted the sunless sky like a picture void of all colour, of all happiness. Then it got hot again, humid, the stench of old wood and the lingering whiff of death and blood floated in these halls as if a permanent tenant, unable to leave, bringing nothing but a sense of melancholy and acceptance. The nights are cold, bigger than imagining; black and gusty and enormous, disordered and wild with stars. It brought a sense of tranquillity, its vastness, though a looming sense of finality, too. (Name) had long ago accepted her fate as a soul to be sacrificed to the Mighty Death itself and Tom had no qualms about that: she accepted it with his first tender touch in confession, accepted it again on the train ride to Little Hangleton, and reconfirmed it with a scorching, delicious kiss. He wanted to devour her like Saturn devoured his sons, like Goya in fretful grey-brown colours depicted on the verge of his madness. He could not share her with anyone else; she is too precious to even bathe in the curious eye of anyone else. It pained him horribly to even imagine it.
Her room is on the second floor, the very last one, spacious and adorned with viridian sheets and cheerful depictions of the Victorian past via paintings framed in glossy wood. Her window overlooks the dead roses and the faraway cabin of the caretaker, who, for days oblivious, stumbles about his home, in his mind certain he had conversed with the Riddle family and watered the flowers, cut the grass, cheerily gave the children candy he used to love as a child himself. A red curtain, satin, soft as her skin, hung above the aforementioned window, swayed from the breeze. They had spent many nights within this room, it now trapping many whispers and groans of his name, embedded into the walls, into the pillows, and the taste of kisses and metallic blood only fuelled this famishing carnal desire.
And it is dark again and he is drawn to her door like a soul is drawn to the afterlife, feeling, in a dreamlike state, the air tonight being electric and different. The hallway is shadowy and he makes no sound as he moves to the handle, his hot hand burning from touching its cold metal surface. The door opens with a ghastly creek and he enters the cool, moonlit room. She sits on the edge of the bed, staring somewhere outside the open window, a candle burning on its sill and flicking with the curtain of rouge behind it, twirling, caressing the air in its sensual dance. She slowly turns her head to him, her features lily-like, submerged in water; she appears as a seraph that climbed down from heaven to wait for him by the foot of the bed. Though this seraph, this divine, lovely creature has its wings clipped, and blood streams lazily from her nose, drips on her nightgown, appearing black in the shade.
âWere you waiting for me?â He asks, knowing the answer. She faintly nods, tilting her head and watching her feet with an empty, lonely look. He approaches her vigilantly, not yet ready to let go this picturesque, medieval image of her, so waxen, so completely lifeless. He sits next to her, his hand coming to rest on hers. Hers feels like marble, cold and sculpted. He brings the hand to his lips, kisses it softly, thinking he shall warm it with his caress, all the while watching her closely in wonder and curiosity. She barely reacts, only the sides of her pale lips quirk upwards, and the faint glow of love lights up in her eyes, and she gazes back at him, through him, drifting between this world and the next. Still grasping her hand, his other lands on the back of her neck, careful to hold her as if she was something pitifully fragile. He lays her down onto the velvety, glossy sheets.
He looks into her eyes and he sees the ocean in their barren depths. It mesmerizes him, makes his breath hitch in his throat; the trickle of red dyes her cupid bow in the prettiest rouge lipstick. He kisses her, a kiss that is strangely unlike him, a kiss full of emotion so strong his heart nearly lunges out of his chest to beat for hers. Her pulse drums helplessly in her lips, on the side of her jaw where his hand moves to rest. He pulls away slightly, enraptured, and she rasps something melodious in blood written notes.
âMa mortâŠâ Her voice is an alluring sirenâs call.
âMa vieâŠâ He whispers in between kisses.
She unfolds in his grasp like a rose, breathless and beautiful, and he kisses her neck, her collarbones, retraces the spots he had marked the night before with growing eagerness. He captures her lips again, this time void of any tenderness he had exhibited prior, and she returns it with unexpected keenness. Her limbs sputter by her sides as if she wants to grasp him, yet her hands fall back to bed before she has the chance to run her fingers through his hair. He growls, deep, in the back of his throat, because she tastes like heaven, his heaven, his own personal Eden.
Her last dance, her last arch to his roaming lips as they trail down the curve of her breasts. Â He calls her name with a gentle groan, barely a whisper. Her skin is frost. It does not heat no matter how much he touches it, and the night is dead silent suddenly, and the hand that had been wrapped around her throat feels as if something is amiss. He pulls away from her, sits uptight, and for a moment, or perhaps a minute, or a whole eternity, he stares at the pale, haunting body of a girl laying eerily still. Her eyes gaze into oblivion with alarming emptiness, and the light of the flickering candle reflects warmly in her eyes.
He cannot explain this feeling, cannot trap it within the constraints of his lexis. He trembles, lightly at first, then almost violently, her blood still warm on his lips. He feels horror grip his throat; settle in the pit of his stomach like a serpent. And he feels awe hitting him in waves of opalescent ecstasy. Beauty, true beauty, is terror. He had never seen something so absolutely sublime.
In a daze, Tom Riddle stands and wanders to the window. White wax drips from the candle. He leans in by the fire, exhales sharply and the fire sniffs out leaving put spirals of grey smoke. He slowly closes the window, his hands still shivering. Lastly he draws the curtain over it. What little light was in the room is now replaced by a sinister red glow.
He never felt so powerful, never so ethereal. Finally⊠it dawns onto him.
It is happiness he feels. Happiness scorched with abysmal pain.

pokemon partner/team + trainerclass/region for @luvsunsâ
original request, lengthy description & trainerclass/region under âkeep readingâ
Hi! Iâm hoping for a team please? (and a trainer class/region if youâre up for it!)
Iâm a scorpio sun (and virgo moon, cancer rising if that helps). Iâm an INFP as well! Iâm very loyal to the ones I love, but Iâm also fairly friendly to almost everyone I know. I can be considered fairly intense at times but I rarely noticeâŠIâm a curious and passionate individual who also wants to make a difference! In the past Iâve had a very hard time standing up to people or even interacting in a comfortable way, but recently Iâve been trying to overcome that, and do whatâs in my power to represent and help others! Despite that I can still be fairly shy. I can be ambitious at times but I usually lack the motivation to go through with what I want, typically just taking opportunities that come rather than outwardly seeking them. In the past I tended to be more pessimistic, but I try to look on the brighter side now! My friends do describe me as mischievous as well.
My biggest hobbies are drawing, reading, and playing video games. I also love to hang out with my friends and Iâm always looking to go somewhere new!
P.S. Thank u so much for doing these! Iâm sure everyone is incredibly grateful as well! itâs super sweet and just generally.. incredible that youâre doing these!!
Hi! Thank you sm!! o(â„ïčâ„)oÂ
I noticed your blog has a very cohesive visual element to it, so I tried to make a team that fits your personality & aesthetic style as well. Letâs meet your partner!
⥠Miloticâ is known as the tender pokemon. It has a soft and peaceful heart & is known for both its great inner and outer beauty from all around the world. Milotic is also a very strong pokemon with an intense but soothing aura. It uses this aura to purify & stop any violence, chaos or anger around it. It can quite literally entrance people & pokemon alike to stop whatever theyâre doing in the sudden presence of Milotic. Some might even call Milotic intimidating in a unique sort of way. With its power, large size, rarity, glittering scales & almost otherworldly effect on its surroundings, many would assume itâs legendary with no prior knowledge. Some are even seen being able to hover over the ground as if in flight! It can be somewhat shy, especially in the wild, but Milotic is known to enjoy socializing with good people & pokemon when the opportunity comes naturally. You two will definitely share a similar wavelength of operation. But they will not hesitate to stand up for themselves, their loved ones & their home. If their calming powers do not solve the problem, Milotic will either fight or flee. And when in the care of a trainer, theyâll usually resort to fighting if need be. Milotic is a pokemon used by many top tier trainers & coordinators for a good reason!Â
⥠Milotic will wash away your self doubt & stand up for you when you feel defeated. Having a healthy, happy Milotic is something people will respect you for & there are many career choices for a trainer with a strong (and shiny) one at hand. You seem ambitious without a clear or easy outlet for said ambition. A unique Milotic like this might be able to help you make a name for yourself in the pokemon world. With Milotic, it might not have to be a chore to look on the bright side anymore as well. Milotic will gladly bring & share its own shimmering brightness with you. Literally & figuratively! And Milotic will be very happy if itâs with a trainer that wants to share this said brightness with others in any way they can, too.Â
⥠For region, I think Alola would be fitting. In Alola, life is goes on with a relaxed pace. The locals are known to be friendly & the there is so much to discover and explore. There is always something new hiding on the other side of the island, and of course maybe even another island entirely! The pokemon league is new to this area & there is more than enough room for skilled trainers to make a name for themselves here & even help put Alola on the map when it comes to pokemon training. Then there are the island trials, too. If contests etc... are more your style, then maybe you could be that person to make the first Contest hall in the region! There are many paths to choose for an ambitious soul, and a certain quality that makes doing so much less stressful and/or difficult in Alola when compared to other regions.Â
⥠Your trainer class would be an Ace trainer! Ace trainers are dedicated, strong & ambitious people that have a desire to be the very best. Ace trainers are tough opponents & are usually well respected & liked wherever they are. There are many good opportunities around the world that an Ace trainer is in close reach of.Â
Hope you liked everything decently! I really liked doing this one ^~^

I like how this is literally indecipherable on desktop, so I had to go onto my phone (where it was still indecipherable) and then open it in safari to figure out which one this was.
â Whatâs your rp pet peeve?
Itâs this one and not the other one right above it that also looks like a sun.
Emoticons, man.
Well, that was fun and all but- rp pet peeves. Stuff under the cut. Pour one out for the entire community, because Iâm about to take a pound of flesh from everyone.
Thereâs a lot of stuff in here that boils down to just being a good writing partner and all that, trying to advance the action in a natural way, and so on⊠and I think a lot of it can boil down to either a lack of awareness or a lack of experience. People get better at writing by writing, so I find it hard to really be frustrated and stay frustrated by someone who falls into some of these pitfalls. So youâll notice I donât really target things that have to do with writing skill as much as I target âattitudeâ and âconscientiousnessâ. There is a lot that bothers me though, so hereâs a short list.
Criticizing the way other people have fun. This is a big one. What this boils down to is conversations about how âthis ship isnât realisticâ or âyour ideals on writing are dumbâ or âyou take writing too seriously/not seriously enough.â Iâve seen all of these. And I used to know someone on a forum-based RP site that would actively go out of her way to criticize that people would include a lot of introspection in scenes that were fast paced. For instance, using poetic language, or talking about how theyâre feeling, what the situation was, âhe felt like he was up against the tide, that his heart was being torn in two, a cut made deeper with every clash of their bladesâ - stuff like that. She hated it. And she made sure everyone knew that she did not approve of how much they were writing, because it was ânot realisticâ. And yes, there is definite merit to the claim that people do not have time to introspect about their entire lives and their relationship to their allies and enemies between sword swings... But so what. I donât think itâs wrong to advocate for shorter, simpler posts with less descriptive text, and to manage in 200 words instead of 600. Thatâs great. Simplicity has value, being concise is great, âbrevity is the soul of witâ, whatever. But the problem, the problem was that she would criticize others for writing in a way that they enjoyed. No one got on her case for writing less, but she was so grating on this point that eventually people just did not want to be around her.
It was something Iâve experienced even here. Finding the balance between âwriting to improve your ability to writeâ and âwriting just to have funâ are two separate matters. People forget that individuals exist from both camps, and I have known people (multiple) who say âthis is important to me, Iâm growing my skills using RP as a mediumâ but fail to empathize and recognize that not everyone has the same viewpoint. Caring about things that make you feel something over technically good and well executed writing does not make you a problem.
And as a big follow up, I find that this is a big issue in life in general. I think that people often forget how much time it took them to learn a certain thing, recognize their own investment, or recognize the disparity between their own idea of âcommon knowledgeâ vs actually common knowledge. When I joined the community, I did not know what private, selective, independent, mun, muse, or mutuals meant. For someone whoâs brand new, these are terms that can be hard to decipher. And itâs the similar with ships - I think that people forget that not everyone who comes to RP is from a writing background. Some of them may just have enjoyed reading fanfiction, or may have enjoyed their favorite bot lane duo, or they have a main and their partner has a main and they like the aesthetic. So long as itâs not inherently problematic (incest, pedophilia), itâs cruel to degrade someone and call everything that doesnât make perfect sense a âcrackshipâ. Fanart also has a big role to play in this. Do I personally like Sona with Ka/yn, Yas, Sy/las, Jh/in, or Dra/ven? No, I donât. I donât, but equally, itâs not right for me to get in someoneâs face for liking it. If you love MF/Sona because itâs a fuckinâ sick classic wombo combo bot lane... thatâs cool, more power to you. I wish people would ease up and remember to just let people have their fun. Thereâs a Jh/in that follows me, who politely asked if I shipped it and I said no, and then there was no hard feelings at all. And that is ideal for me. Really.
T h e f t.
And being ultra conscious of it. I am in a very unfortunate circumstance that many of my Sona hcs are very similar to another blog in the space. I found that out by accident, and we reached similar (but also different!) conclusions. But now I am terribly terrified of ever speaking to them, because gods above I want to lift all my duplicates into the air, kiss them, and scream about them... but I donât want anyone to feel anxious that Iâm copying them. Itâs also why until about a week ago, I only followed one other Sona blog ever - written by one of my very, very close friends. I never want people to feel like Iâm stealing from them, but I also want my duplicates to feel comfortable on my blog! I want them to feel okay about reblogging art of their characters if they like it or talking to me about things... And Iâve put in a lot of effort to be very divergent with my portrayals, but I still ended up in this situation. I wonât name names ( and I really hope that no one bothers that other Sona, because sheâs a genuine sweetheart and deserves love and appreciation ), b ut... This is a big issue for me.
And itâs exacerbated by the fact that some people are lazy as fuck and actually just straight up steal ideas. Itâs not âinspired byâ, which I usually take care to do, giving proper credits or speaking about where I got information from or from whom or that it is on some level almost collaborative (because this is a collaborative space where we interact with each other, but thatâs another topic). But I mean some people just recklessly steal and because we all have anxiety (TM), the line between coincidence, inspiration, and theft blurs. Understand that on some level, plagarism is an ethical dilemma, and I exist in the camp that says âhey man thatâs cool come talk to meâ - but I can exist in that camp because I insist on a very divergent interpretation that is almost âtheft-proofâ. I do not think any other Sona blog will ever have this combination of headcanons: âis a construct inspired by a house spirit, made up of one part crashed titan goddess, three parts demons, and each demon is represented by one of the strings of the instrument, which by the way shattered because bad reasonsâ. But if youâre not me, itâs hard to... stay loose about it.
And itâs hard to not get jealous.
BUT WAIT, THEREâS MORE. Alright I wrote down a list when I actually got this ask, so letâs run off that. ( Yuki, you fuck, youâre not done? Fuck no Iâm not done. ) These next ones are big for me.
MISREPRESENTING YOUR WANTS / YOURSELF
what does that mean, you ask me. It means this. It means pretending to be interested in ideas or interactions, even if youâre not interested. I do not ever want to be in the situation where I am happily chugging along, talking about a dynamic, and then find out that the other person isnât as interested.
Itâs fine to be mellow about it dude. I would rather know that youâre like... just okay on it all. I donât want you to be polite and âspare my feelingsâ and force yourself.
I want you to have fun. Have fun. God just have fun, you know? Please. There are a ton of interactions Iâm âjust okayâ with, and I donât think thatâs a bad thing. I can be just okay with stuff and itâs fine. Not everything needs to click instantly but like...
Only showing interest to appeal to me or spare my feelings kinda sucks. It doesnât last forever. It feels really bad. And eventually when things fall apart, it feels even worse. Like oh you really just did not care that much. Or you didnât enjoy writing with me? Or what is it? See: jealousy/anxiety. Just be honest.
I think you especially have seen this with me, but I have a penchant for just being sincere and honest about how I feel about things. At least a little bit.
Donât share things people tell you in confidence.
Fucking duh but it needs to be stated. Sometimes people gotta vent. It happens. And I get that âtalking behind someoneâs backâ is not great, but expressing frustration is a real thing that has real value. And then finding out that those things were shared. If I didnât bring it up with them myself, I didnât want them to know. Duh. Iâm not talking to be catty but because Iâm upset. S h i t. Some of the drama that Iâve seen happen from others doing this (and not to me, but in various cases) was entirely unavoidable. Iâve seen so many variants of this. Itâs dumb dude. Itâs dumb.
Hard vs Soft statements (Stating opinions as facts)
This is another one that gets me. I come from a world where we write, âSona tries toâ and so on to others. Tumblr as a whole doesnât seem to conceptually engage with the idea of âinterrupting actionsâ and accepting that interactions are a little malleable. And it in turn reflects how others speak about characters.
I never see, âI think Sona isâ, I see âSona is.â This is such a minor little thing, and Iâve come to accept that itâs part of the culture, but it can be terribly frustrating when others speak about your characters. I often say things like âI see Sona asâ or âBecause of xyz, Ori/anna would probably-â etc. But that isnât something that I see here from some people. I know that I do this a lot less these days, in part because I have acclimated to the culture.
Incidentally, there are some joke versions of this that are also frustrating. People can really think theyâre being funny, but end up just shutting you out of the conversation entirely when they say âNoâ. I might be a little too sensitive to this though, in that I often disengage from conversations because âitâs not really about my interpretation, so itâs better if I not say anything because itâs not relevant and doesnât contribute.â
Really, Iâm just a weenie baby, but I know when someoneâs being rude vs when itâs just my own anxieties. I donât expect everyone to have unshakable confidence, I also donât expect that everyone be quivering in their boots. Some people can be really, really dismissive and itâs kind of not so great because it comes along with them otherwise being pretty neat.
Last one: Misrepresentation of data / using a âpreponderance of evidenceâ when there really isnât that much.
How do I even put this.
CONJECTURE IS NOT FACT.
CONJECTURE IS NOT FACT.
CONJECTURE IS NOT FACT.
Phew. Okay thatâs done. That right there is a big problem (and in combination with the pet peeve before that, it gets worse.)
Something to understand is that sometimes there is no good reason to pipe up to correct someone. Often, people are having a visceral, gut reaction and itâs very emotional. Criticizing that ignores the intent (that theyâre frustrated), so itâs often a good idea to let it be.
But that doesnât stop me from seeing that facts are poorly stated or misrepresented. The community likes to talk about league so I see it in OOC posts, and I also see claims that are just wrong. Theyâre misstated, exaggerated, or phrased in such a way that you could accept them - except one fact check will prove otherwise. But again, why get in someoneâs face when theyâre frustrated?
But this leads to some people feeling âcomplicit acceptanceâ. Which is in itself another problem that I wonât get into.
I as a person tend to be pretty rigorous. If I see facts and I can check them with a quick google search, I often do - especially League. Itâs so easy to check a championâs win rate or popularity. Other people do not always exercise this rigor.
âAlright fuckface but thatâs talking about league and not rp.â
Yeah okay you make a fair and valid point, except for the part where you missed bullet points 2-4. Iâm more talking about the general attitude people have but letâs talk specifically more about RP.
Thereâs content. A lot of content. And most of it is really vague, because thatâs how R I O T G A M E S does things. We still canât get a straight answer on whether Sonaâs adopted mom, Lestara, is alive or not. H u h?
And this often leads to us making connections and conclusions based on the limited data we have. Weâre extrapolating, taking what we know and trying to figure out something new.
Except when we get a new data set, sometimes our extrapolations donât work anymore.
Except we just spent three months world building around our guesses ( because thatâs what they are)
Oops Iâm divergent now.
That happens. A lot. My entire blog was evidence of that, where I made extreme guesses and then accidentally got validated as Demacia went full grimdark. But it even happened last year, when suddenly we gained new information! Mage registration! Thatâs a thing! And it changes how we perceive things.
And you may be thinking, âok fine but what does that have to do with misrepresentationâ and it has this to do with it. People will make conclusions based on their own view, then solidify these conclusions as âfactâ.
For example, I wrote a small article on how âmagical sight was not a reasonable power to haveâ and then soon after, Mageseekers appeared. Oops. Oops.
And these extrapolations get treated as though they are really fact. The line between what is ârealâ and what is âassumedâ blurs. The truth is this. Unless itâs directly and unambiguously stated, itâs basically not fact. âBut we can conclude-â I know. And then weâll get new information and thatâll change. Ideas in this fandom are like balloons, you need to tie them down with text evidence or theyâll just float away before you even know it. I can talk about how Sona is a literal genius level intellect all day, and tomorrow I can be proven wrong by one little shift or clarification in the lore. âWithin monthsâ - okay how many months? Fifteen months? Three months? Unknown.
And this leads me to preponderance of âevidenceâ. This one is long because it bothers me a bunch.
âPreponderance of evidenceâ (quotes required) is basically the situation in which someone goes and tells me:
âListen buddy, I have these seven pieces of evidence, so I can reasonably conclude that [x] is true.â And thatâs solid conjecture and extrapolation and I accept that.
Except that maybe you seven pieces of evidence arenât all solid pieces of evidence.
Oh.
Oh no.
And thatâs happened. I have seen evidence pieces one, two, four, and six all be good. And pieces three, five, and seven are a stretch at best.
But because they have so many pieces of evidence, itâs hard to critique back. Because they still do have four good pieces of evidence!
But the strength of the conclusion increases with more accurate and valid data points, and if your data points arenât-
And thatâs the rub, basically. Sometimes I see people fit evidence to their conclusion without even realizing it. Some of the most intelligent, rigorous, and well-versed writers on this site Iâve seen do it.
And it sucks.
And itâs a peeve because hereâs the truth.
The truth after all this talk is this very important fact.
I donât say anything about these things to people because I donât want to ruin anyoneâs fun or engagement.
People make mistakes and say many things because they are passionate about what theyâre talking about. Often thatâs the case. And harmless conjecture misunderstandings are not the end of the world because this is not academia.
except that one time I wrote a writeup on how Aphe/lios isnât mute but whatever.
And so while I have said all these things and have a lot of these feelings, I also think thereâs no point to saying most of them directly to the person that bugs me. What good will it do? To someone who is reacting with their emotions and just wants to get their frustration out, or is speaking passionately about something... Just let it go.
And so often I let it go, even if I disagree. I have an opinion, but I donât go out and toss it back in your face. I just get mad quietly and grump about it.
And thatâs why I end up being a very âstay in my laneâ person.
The end.
If you read all the way through this, Iâll give you a cookie tbh. Many cookies. This is almost 3000 words and 7 pages.

ooh this is a lovely idea! Could I get a short prose username piece? thank you!!
Happy Giving Thanks Day!
No, thank you, @tragedyshow! And absolutely! đ
Excuse me while I get a little dark and literary, here. Your username got right to the roots of my writing aesthetic.
Title:Â âThe Tragedy Showâ
Word Count: 473
[CW: references to suicide, death, vague social commentary on mental health, the circus]
Itâs back in town. The show, I mean. You must have heard about it somewhere - we all have, at some point or another.
Harriet felt it come into town last spring. Her brother was away, off on a grand adventure of sorts, mandated and off to war. She wished he hadnât gone, if only so he could see it with her. Heâd have loved it. Especially the jugglers, tossing balls of blown glass up up up, catching their fall in gentle hands, tossing them back into the air, freezing their lungs so their breath didnât disrupt their course, didnât push them off center and out of reach to plummet and shatter like Harrietâs heart. He would have loved the jugglers.
Even though he was new around here, Marcus knew one of the acts like the back of his hand. Heâd seen it often enough, turned his hands over and over again, traced their lines like the leather of the lion tamerâs whip, watched them arc and snap at toothy mouths and roaring pains. The lions were his favorite act; he hated their manes, their tail tufts, their stalking and the way they looked right at you, into your eyes, unafraid, waiting for you to show your belly so they could pounce and tear you asunder with claws you made yourself but donât remember how. But then thereâs the lion tamer, with their coiled whip, ready not to lash out, but to corral, to cage, to push back against the gnashing teeth with each strike back against what you thought you couldnât control. His lion tamerâs name is Katherine, and sheâs teaching him all her tricks.
I wonder if youâve heard of it by now. Not that I hope you have. Itâs just something that happens to us, sometimes. Most of us have seen it. The jugglers, the lion tamers, the tight rope walkers. Acrobats swinging from the trapeze by their knees, their elbows, their ankles, less often than someone elseâs hands. Maybe youâve been in the audience, watched the contortionists walk on their hands, legs curled backwards over their shoulders, relaxed in a way that only those who bend themselves backwards for others can be. Theyâre used to it by now. Their muscles know this stretch too far. Maybe you know this stretch, too.
The people who sit and watch marvel at the fire eaters and their ulcers, ooh and aah after the man on stilts balances just so, teetering over and over again but never falling, not this time. When the mime approaches, silent, eyes wide, face painted like those old movies you pretend to have seen, they smile and laugh as she feels at the invisible wall keeping her from getting closer, from reaching out to touch, mouth open in soundless mock surprise.
What a tragedy, they say. What a show.

On Tooniness: on what makes a cartoon (and any other media) âtoonyâ
I didnât expect to whip up a ramble so soon but I feel like I should go more in depth about what this blog is about and what itâs trying to achieve, so in this post Iâll attempt to define and describe the essence of what is a âtoonâ.
This might get a bit too long so I spoilered it for your convenience. I am by no means an expert on this kind of stuff, so if youâd like to present any counter-arguments, ask questions or discuss further what Iâm going to talk about, feel free to do so in the comments, via PM or private chat.
âToonâ is a word associated with the animated media, often used to describe cartoon characters or characters drawn in a particular cartoony style (which is the case of, for example, The Legend of Zelda or Yu-Gi-Oh).
Beyond these definitions, there is also a tendency to stereotype the concept of a cartoon itself drawing from features and characteristics from early animated works from the 30s-40s, such as early Mickey Mouse works, Betty Boop and Looney Tunes. I think the best example I can come up with is this bit from Ed Edd n Eddy, an already very "toonyâ cartoon (jump to 9:47)
youtube
However, this essay argues that there is more to âtooninessâ than certain design cues; that, beyond the white gloves, Pacman-shaped eyes and grayscale palette, thereâs a series of principles that makes any kind of media (not just animated!) feel truly âtoonyâ. While we also appreciate âtoonyâ designs and overall aesthetic, this essay aims to go beyond mere aesthetic and try to identify what is âtoonyâ in any kind of mediaâs presentation.
The whole purpose of this blog is, as its own description states, to celebrate âthe tooniest of cartoonsâ; and, in order to achieve that, we find necessary to identify the core features of âtooninessâ. We believe these core features are three, and, because this is toons weâre talking about, weâve took the liberty to make their names alliterate: slapstick, sillyness, surrealness.
Slapstick
Let me begin this section by quoting one of my personal favourite quotes about toons: âSee, your mother was right - cartoons are filled with senseless violence!â (Toon: The Cartoon Roleplaying Game, p.24).
Wikipedia defines slapstick as the following:Â âa style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity which exceeds the boundaries of normal physical comedy.â In other words, slapstick is a form of physical comedy characterized by an exaggeration of violence and misfortune.
The animated medium lends itself well to physical comedy in general, since the latter relies on exaggeration (not only of violence, but also of expression, gesture...) and the former allows it to exaggerate it even further, beyond what a live-action actor can do.
Same can be said for slapstick, even to the point that several âtoonyâ cartoons are based around slapstick comedy (Tom & Jerry and Wile. E. Coyote & The Roadrunner are the first ones to come to mind) and only have the bare bones of a plot, yet they are still successful and well-regarded.
In short, âtoonâ media has been associated, since the beginnings of animation, with physical comedy, and especially slapstick since the 40s. This doesnât mean that toony cartoons cannot have other kinds of humor (such as dialogue-based, wordplay, referential...) but the qualities of the animation medium make it especially suitable for physical comedy and visual humor. Hell, this blog wouldnât be called the way it is if one of the stereotypical characteristics of a âcartoonyâ cartoon wasnât slapstick with falling anvils and exploding dynamite.
Silliness
noun The quality of being silly; foolishness; senselessness; weakness of understanding; extreme simplicity; absurd or contemptible folly.
(and now I realize Iâve been misspelling âsillinessâ all this time whoops)
While many of these adjectives fit toon media, let me get this out first: silliness does NOT mean toon media is necessarily lighthearted or even funny, but it is true that there is a sense of âhappy-go-luckyâ in it. This can be especially seen in Betty Boop shorts such as âBimboâs Initiationâ, âSwing You Sinnersâ and âM.D.â (aka âthe Jippo oneâ)
Iâm not linking because Tumblr likes to mess up with my text if I insert another video. Theyâre on youtube, feel free to give them a watch before continuing.
You can see these three in particular handle pretty dark topics (cults, âIâm going to hellâ kind of guilt... Hell, in the third one Betty Boop & friends straight up kill a man with snake oil!) yet, they thereâs plenty of singing and dancing. It might be creepy, but it doesnât give a âgrittyâ vibe: if anything, the fact that these subjects are handled in such a playful way makes it even more shocking and creepier. I think âhappy go luckyâ is the right term for that. The toon character approaches the world it lives in with curiosity, and no matter what horrible things they get put through in an episode, theyâll be in tip-top shape in the next one (non-linearity between episodes really helps with that). However, the defining name for this quality is âsillinessâ because another relevant philosophy that goes hand-to-hand with âhappy-go-luckyâ is that the toon media doesnât take itself seriously. It acknowledges itâs silly, absurd and non-sensical and runs wild with it. And why is it so silly?
Surrealness
I found several definitions of âsurrealâ and they all agree on the following: what is surreal is fantastic, incongruous, and dream-like. This is the term weâve chosen to define what is perhaps the most important characteristic of âtooninessâ
Toons are not realistic, and they barely attempt to be. The toon world is loosely based on reality as to let its audience have something to hang on, and from that point, it goes wild. Characters act and talk exaggeratedly without caring for whatâs considered socially appropiate, emotions and thoughts manifest in ways that could not be possible in reality (no hearts, no shoulder angels), and nonsensical things happen all the time (such as objects coming to life, gravity playing tricks or the infamous falling anvil).
This disregard for reality is what allows toon media to handle any kind of theme in its characteristic playful nature (silliness) and, together with the medium of animation, allow physical comedy to extend beyond the boundaries of reality (slapstick): because âtoonâ revels in its own status as fiction, and, as a child of animation, attempts to show us what a camera canât (if someone can remind me where this quote came from, thanks).
I hope that, with this essay, I established the main characteristics of how toon media presents itself. As I mentioned before, Iâm up for discussion on this and you can contact me via PM or chat. I will also reply to comments in reblogs!

(English is not my native language so umm sorry for any occurring mistakes? > <)
*shuffles awkwardly* Hi dear I come bearing writing prompts? *nervous laughter* I swear initially they were meant to be short descriptions BUT EVERYTHING GOT TOTALLY OUT OF HAND BY THE END. MY GOD THEYâRE SO DAMN LONG NOW. YOU DONâT HAVE TO DO THIS IF YOU DONâT WANT TO (you could take all of them, some of them, one of them or NONE OF THEM ok? Totally fine!) so please donât feel pressured? :) And youâre welcome to put your own spin on the prompts, pass them onto other writers if theyâre interested or to collab with someone else! :D
But seriously though you can also just treat them as littles âstoriesâ from me (aka. your humble little anon fan) to you, intended for your amusement instead of writing requests alright? Sorry to bombard you so suddenly with all this LOL. BTW youâll see mostly theyâre Brianâs POV because thatâs just how my brain is wired lol itâs been like that since day 1 I CANâT HELP IT.
BTW the âHis Majesty, KING!â series by chateauofmyheart (I think sheâs most known for the Queen + Rare Words series and her Tumblr blog is chateauofmymind) is THE fic that completely changed my perspective on gender swap themes. After reading that I was fascinated by how good it can be in the hands of brilliant writers. Hence all youâre reading right now ahahahaha itâs like a floodgate been opened LOL.
Alright? Here we go with the first one - Modern day!AU, Poly!Fem!Queen(King) with supernatural elements? (Iâm still gonna use male names and pronouns here to avoid confusion but at the same time itâs also because of I wanna see what female names youâd bestow upon them! Surprise me then? :D) Brian always has a connection with the âspiritual sideâ since he was a kid, sometimes he sees auras, energies, spirits and even on very rare occasions, deities. But itâs not as glamour as it sounds and he has learned the hard way to keep this solely to himself since no one will believe him. And to pretend to be ânormalâ is very important since not everything he sees is harmless, he has to find ways to avoid being haunted by evil beings, but it doesnât always work; More often than not his health or mood is affected or heâs chased and stalked and has terrible nightmares hence the insomnia. By the time he got to college, though things still got really bad every once in a while but it felt like he has finally beginning to have situations under some semblance of control. Strangely, all these seemed to largely improved right after he became friends with Roger, Freddie and John, BUT inconveniently started pining after them real quick. His usual tactics were to keep his distance from the people around him but this time heâs drawn to them, feeling oddly alone when theyâre not together; How sad is that? Falling in love for the first time in his life yet knowing thereâs just no way itâs gonna end happily, but they donât need to know that itâs fine heâs used to being the outcast. Although his first meetings with each of them does feel a little unusual? They sure are a weird bunch for example, who would own so many of candles? And why so many talismans as well? (Very beautiful though all seems to be handmade perhaps theyâre just into DIY stuffs and craftsmanship?) Also the look they gave him? Gleam in their eyes akin to excitement and awe, almost predatory in a sense? Not to mention all those cryptic sentences and meaningful glances shared between the three. It sounds crazy but sometimes they gave off such strong âwitchyâ vibes as if theyâre actual witches like the ones in the movies or something (NOT the Harry Potter kind but more like, The Craft? But in a good way?), that being said Brian does have this distinct feeling that theyâre in on some kind of secret which heâs not a part of and it makes him feel a bit sad and left out, but he hides his feelings well(me: or so he thinks haha weâre all familiar with this trope yeah? MOVING ON LOL). These three are lovely together, but Brianâs afraid of screwing things up so he kept his mouth shut and just took whatever he can get. Plot twist LOL one night after a horrible near-death incident (caused by a horrendous curse aimed directly at him and much later on he learned that somehow it was powerful enough to break through the âprotection ringâ which Roger, Freddie and John had cast around him, WTH?!), heâs eventually saved by the other three and now he really wants some answers and perhaps the truth. It turns out that theyâre all actual witches with different abilities and incredible powers including the oblivious Brian, Roger, Freddie and John had known this their entire life and all had proper training except for Brian who isnât from a witchcraft family. Basically the other three have being protecting and guarding him ever since theyâve met (even though he doesnât know a damn thing about his own gifts, they were very adamant that he belongs to them and their own âcovenâ). The four of them actually formed one of the most powerful witch coven ever and the curse was cast by another malicious one thatâs jealous and afraid of how powerful theyâre going to be once Brian realizes his own gifts, so they tried to get rid of him first. Cue a happy Poly!Fem!OT4 ending and a love confession + getting together yeah? :D And they all work on helping Brian to develop and harness his own powers. Love youuuu. (BTW Iâm âobsessedâ with Gothic aesthetics and vibes. This seems to be the perfect universe for this type of element to shine right? :D Literally everything ranging from character styles to witchcraft tools could be incorporate with it but I donât think I did a good job in describing. Orz)
And off to the second prompt now! Shall we? :) Modern day!AU, Poly!Fem!Queen(King)? (Or no gender swap is fine too! Again Iâm still using male names and pronouns here same reasons as above), Itâs around 20:00 when Brian exited his plane. This past one month period of astronomy conference had been an opportunity of a life time and literally one of his biggest dreams. Itâs a huge honor for him to be able to participate but after being away from his three lovers for so long, he does miss them terribly; The schedule of the conference is quite hectic and irregular with very little down time though the four of them do try to facetime or skype each other as often as they can, it still is nothing like being with each other in person, not to mention theyâre all busy and more often than not had to resort to just texting in their group chat. His heart now flutters happily thinking about home and them. Just as when heâs about to call for a taxi someoneâs hand came up around his waist â itâs John! And apparently John had arranged in advance for some people to come and take care of Brianâs luggage, Him however, remains firmly tucked by Brianâs side. Though theyâre both not too keen on PDA Brian finds the urge to kiss him incredibly strong right now. John seems to be the same considering the heat in his eyes and if his smirk is anything to go by - âWanna go for a ride? Our new carâs pretty neat.â âThe one that Roger picked?â âYeah.â âHe agreed that you can drive it?â âWell heâs going to have to since the car keysâ being nicked.â âOh my god John you stole Rogerâs car keys?!â âItâs OUR car so technically itâs not stealing.â TBH Johnâs expression right now is kinda turning him on okay calm down deep breath theyâre still in public god damn it. John proceed to guided Brian towards their ride and it is indeed a beautiful car. While John drove Brian asked Roger and Freddieâs whereabouts and got a mysterious smile and a vague âyouâll seeâ instead. Itâs getting quite late and thereâs not much traffic on the road so John might be speeding up a bit to enjoy the thrill. Normally Brian would fret over this but now heâs just happy, content and relaxed after coming home and reuniting with his lovers. He even let out an excited little shout and rolled down the window a bit to enjoy the night breeze when John sped up, which John beamed at him. âThis isnât our way home?â âWeâre not going home yet.â âAnd are you gonna tell me where weâre heading?â âYouâll see.â Again with that cryptic-John-smile. They continue to drive up and deep into the mountains and eventually stoping at a lovely camping site with an elegant looking villa, John explained that theyâve booked this whole area exclusively for the next couple of days; Theyâve missed him and all wanted to spend some alone time with each other. The weather is nice so itâs a clear starry night sky above and thereâs a small bonfire crackling along with Roger and Freddieâs laughter, who are currently sitting beside it. Brian leaned over to John, planting a chaste kiss on his lips and whispered his thanks but apparently John had something else in mind. As soon as Brian began to pull back John shot out his hands and tugged on Brianâs hair just the way he knows how he likes it, that forced a surprised whimper out of Brianâs mouth and John took the opportunity to practically devour him with hungry kisses and tongue. Things heat up fast and Brianâs soft moans quickly became louder as John wasted no time opening up his shirt, caressing all over his chest and pinching his nipples. Brian let out a high-pitched yelp as John bit on his earlobe suddenly and at the same time dipped his hand into his underwear. Then Freddie showed up knocking disapprovingly on the car door window: âTsk tsk starting without us already? Thatâs rude darling!.â Hearing this John let go of Brianâs lips, beamed at Freddie and opened the car door but didnât retrieve his hand. Brian, now flushed and disheveled, looked up and gave Freddie a sheepish smile but abruptly let out another whimper as John started moving his fingers. He bit his lips in embarrassment, trying to contain his noise but quickly released them as John growled, demanding to hear his voice. Seeing this Freddie smirked and quickly bent down, grabbing Brianâs face and pulling him into another round of passionate and possessive kisses, full of teeth and tongue. âOi! Stealing my car now John?! Wanker.â Roger appeared scowling but John just laughed and so does Freddie, letting go of Brianâs lips. Brian blinked a few times, willing his now distracted brain to focus on locating Roger and wordlessly held out his hands, beckoning him closer. Roger moved nearer and hummed his appreciation at the current sight on display, taking hold of both of Brianâs wrists with one hand, ran his other one over Brianâs exposed chest and suddenly pinched his nipple perfectly in time with John, whoâs fingers just did something amazing inside Brianâs underwear. Brian moaned loudly and arched his back, feeling his orgasm approaching embarrassingly fast but soon let out a confused whimper when he felt John retrieving his touches. Roger laughed, nuzzled behind his ears and growled, âOnly if you beg prettily enough.â Then he tugged him up and gestured towards the villa. âLetâs go and make good use of that giant bed.â Freddie nodded, agreeing with Roger, eyes drinking in the sight in front of him and licked his lips. âIâll put out the bonfire then. Donât start anything fun without me!â He kissed Brian once more, heatedly and full of promises of more to come, bit his lips playfully and quickly head towards the fire. âI was gonna make him come once before we go inside but your idea is quite tempting.â John smirked at Roger. âWill you do as Roger says love? Beg prettily for us? Should we allow you to come at all?â âPleasepleaseplease.â Brian could only whimper, already feeling the familiar heavenly float that could only come from being cared for by his lovers. âGood boy. Weâre gonna take such good care of you now, you can let go.â Roger began running his hand through Brianâs hair alongside with John, waiting for Freddie to return. Cue a steamy, sexy and loving Poly!Fem!(or not fem)OT4 night yeah? And there may or may not be a huge jacuzzi in the villa that they all made good use of. <3333
Okay now prompt number 3 is the standard type that one usually gets in their askbox if a writer is open for requests - Your take on in the Poly!Queen universe how would Freddie persuaded/convinced/forced?(XD) Brian to play harp for Love of My Life (and why Brian specifically? Besides all the rational reasons for him to be that person, you might be able to come up with something thatâs outside the box? :D) and how the whole âBrian eventually constructed the song from piano onto acoustic guitar for live performancesâ business came about? Do you ever wonder why itâs not Freddie on the piano playing and singing like what heâs done with other songs? Or why not Brian on the piano while Freddie sings like the beginning of their live performances for Save Me? (AGAIN besides all the rational reasons behind it Iâm still interested in your take. :P Have you read that Brianâs interview in which he says he thinks Freddie sees him as his own personal Jimi Hendrix and basically said that theyâre gonna do this together? And those early year interviews regarding their album A Night at the Opera in which Freddie said heâs gonna make Brian play the harp until his hands drop off LOL and how Freddie describe the harp as the big thingy that angels play? Yeah Freddie we know that Brianâs your angel and SOUL BROTHER ahhhh Iâm making myself emotional now QQ)
Ready for prompt number 4? Last one for now haha I think my brain is drying up lol. It just shows how amazing writers are! I salute you! You are wonderful. <333 Poly!Queen? Hot Space!Era (AUish)?, starting with them having a really rough time in the studio and it had been going on for quite a while (Prenterâs presence and words definitely didnât help. It only gets worse and for some reason Brian has this feeling that heâs been singled out as target) and a particularly nasty fight broke out one day and even more unfortunate is that the fight got personal. And of course it has something to do with the infamous diss track: Back Chat (the fandom seems to think this song is aimed at Brian? though we will never know the truth ummm), Brian left the studio in the end (bitterly he denies the voices in his head calling him a coward for running away. He just wanted some fresh air, and maybe some alcohol in a bar that his bandmates do not frequent so he wouldnât be found). Somehow, a band thatâs also on the rise of fame managed to track him down while he was trying to numb himself quickly by getting plastered. They then offered a pretty sweet deal of him leaving Queen (âSince they donât seem to love you anymore.â One of them murmured softly to him and hearing this is like been stabbed through the heart.) and joining them instead, not just as the song writer and lead guitarist but also as the lead vocalist of the band, basically saying that he could have everything; Strangely, it turns out that they actually had some âinside informationâ regarding of whatâs been going on in Queen and had been following for a while, all of them keen on taking Brianâs side. Through the drunken fog in his brain his heart sank. Queen has already established the reputation of being a tight unit especially after their success, generally people respect their close bond with each other so there hasnât been any âheadhuntingâ propositions for a VERY long time; The fact of it appearing again now out of all times only brought out senses of dread, thoughts immediately heading to a dark place in which all the worst-case scenarios resides: is this actually his bandmates asking him to leave through a third party? Are they so fed up with him that they couldnât even stand to break the news in person? Is this them breaking up with him? Heâs suddenly so cold and dizzy that he started swaying unsteadily, the band then quickly offered to bring him back to their own brand-new recording studio for a tour and maybe some rest. Feeling drunk and resigned Brian just watched silently with half lidded eyes as they maneuvered him out of his seat. As they were about to usher him out of the bar suddenly all motion stopped as the band abruptly came face to face with Roger (eyes narrowed and fists balled, obviously fuming), Freddie (seemingly nonchalant with raised eyebrow but his coiled muscles as if ready for a fight totally says otherwise) and John (his face somehow even more unreadable than usual, eyes glinting ominously). Sensing the atmosphere shift, those who were around Brian all collectively took a step back and for some unknown reason, a few guilty looks appeared on some of their faces. Brian started swaying again without the support and Freddie quickly appeared besides Brian, wrapping tightly around him and helped carrying his weight. However, still feeling angry and devasted Brian tried to wriggle out of his embrace but found himself drunk and too slow and did not have the strength at to pry open Freddieâs âiron gripâ at all (yeah how could he forget that Freddie is in fact a damn good athlete and a boxer, John also joined him in the gym these days these two often had great fun together). Sensing Brianâs struggle Freddie only wordlessly tightens his hold; Brian eventually gave up trying to get free after a few attempts instead just bit his lips (nervous habit kicking in now) and looked away, unwilling to face his three bandmates and lovers. âWhere the hell do you think youâre taking OUR guitarist to?â Roger snarled, also coming up besides Freddie to help supporting Brian. After a quick check up on him, he frowned when he found that Brianâs skin is cold and clammy. âItâs great that you guys want to look out for OUR Brimi, but weâll take it from here now.â Thereâs a storm brewing behind Freddieâs eyes, dismissal clear in his voice. Yet in the same time heâs very mindful of the drunk Brian now stiffly resides in his and Rogerâs arms, careful to not cause him anymore physical discomfort. âIt seems that a certain rat has been feeding you all kinds of information on us? Things that heâs not supposed to pry and definitely not supposed to blab about?â With a dark edge to his voice, John stepped forward, staring down at the few guilty faces in front of him, smiling cold and sharp. âWell heâs not around anymore, make of that what you will.â Slowly Brian blinked up at John through his drunken haze in surprise, it has to be Prenter that theyâre talking about, right? But howâ âLetâs get back to the hotel, Briâs not feeling so well.â Roger grunted, tugging the other three out of the bar impatiently, his hold on Brian is steadfast and unwavering. âCome on guys, get in the car.â âPlease come back with us Brimi? We know that youâre still hurting but I promise you, weâre gonna get through this together, alright?â Well now thatâs just unfair, Freddieâs bringing out his nickname now in that soft tone AND looking at him like heâs something precious, really not fair at all. Brian could only nod, not trusting his voice yet but Freddie beamed brightly at him. âIâm sorry, baby. Weâll all have a long talk and fill you in on the details of Prenter after you get some rest okay?.â Now thatâs just cheating. Theyâre in the car now and Johnâs petting his hair oh so gently, expertly lulling him to sleep. Cue the OT4!boys have a long hard talk about EVERYTHING and their relationship that involves lots of shouting, bitching, bickering, crying, apologizing and making up! HAPPY ENDINGS HELL YEAH and the other three explained how the whole Prenter thing came to light and with evidence, they fired him immediately. Also John may or may not have âconvincedâ (âIâd say threatened is more like it.â Roger snickered.) the other bandâs manager to give up the location of the bar that they had sooo enthusiastically called him from, exclaiming Brian Mayâs about to quit Queen and join them and that they were trying to bring him back to the studio now.
I hope these brightened your day? Maybe if Iâm lucky enough they could inspire you a bit? Perhaps they could be accepted as your writing prompts? :P Anyway I love you! Have a beautiful day and life hon. <333
