I did get the disclaimer and I think I perfectly understood what you were saying but my point is you listed a number of things which taekook or Tae does that look like what queer people do and listed another number of things that they do or say which makes people call them straight. So u were trying to say that even though Tae or taekook do all these things which could point to them being queer people ignore it and focus on the other things just to call them straight right? Yea I got what you were trying to say but even with your disclaimer, the way you phrased things showed that you believe that the things you listed first are what queer people would do or how you could identify them and my point was that, those things don’t make a person queer and many taekookers swear Tae is queer because of of that but he could recommend or watch or talk about as many queer movies as he likes, he could wear as many queer coded clothing as he likes, he could incorporate alot if queer coded stuff into his work but that still doesn’t make him queer. These days everyone things they can easily spot queer people from stuff like that and sometimes they would be right most times they aren’t.

"my point is you listed a number of things which taekook or Tae does that look like what queer people do and listed another number of things that they do or say which makes people call them straight"

"the way you phrased things showed that you believe that the things you listed first are what queer people would do or how you could identify them"

I'm going to let you continue working this out. "those things don’t make a person queer and many taekookers swear Tae is queer because of of that but he could recommend or watch or talk about as many queer movies as he likes, he could wear as many queer coded clothing as he likes, he could incorporate alot if queer coded stuff into his work but that still doesn’t make him queer." The only thing that makes you queer is being queer. That's it.

"These days everyone things they can easily spot queer people from stuff like that and sometimes they would be right most times they aren’t."

Yes, sometimes they will be right and sometimes wrong. "most times they aren't"? Mmmmmm why and who are they? I'll bet you there are people who are right most of the time. The only way you could ever really know for sure is literally being inside another person's head, which is impossible. I'm inside my own head and I still haven't worked out all the complexities of my own sexuality. So I just say I'm queer because I think that's a great umbrella term. But the first passage I pulled from your ask shows even you think there are things on that list that miiiiiight point to someone maaaaybe being queer. Or not. Or maybe, they might. And if so we agree on that point. I'm a Taekooker, and this is a Taekook blog. I think based on what I know that they are together and therefore queer. But they might not be. Maybe they're just allies. I don't think that but you're free to, and if you have a problem with me thinking what I do then this isn't the place for you. I've said it over and over and over again on here, mostly in comments on other blogs but I think I've mentioned it a few times in my own posts. That just because these things don't mean anything, are just a coincidence, or have no significance 99% of the time it does not mean that is always the case. If I think the sweetheart shirts are significant, that within the pattern established over years they are an indicator of Taekook being together, does that mean I think two people of the same sex wearing matching shirts is proof they're queer? Nope. It's also not proof they're not queer. They might be queer. Or maybe not.

we were too close to the stars i never knew somebody like you, somebody falling just as hard - reflections

alarin tumblr debut?? for tsme week?? i think so i think yes! u can consider this a late day 6 post or day 7 i suppose, whatever u prefer!

(in summary: my oc, rin, and alain, have lived in my head rent free for 3 years now. they mean the world to me. i love them. to me, they are THE it couple <3)

details/about them below the break

rin yukino is a hyper competitive trainer with a (shiny) mega gardevoir, goal focused and independent to the point of flaw. born and raised in kalos, but with family from sinnoh, she had spent much of her childhood fitting into her parent's mold for a perfect daughter. she was a straight-a student, principal violinist, preparing to attend a top university - at 18, she realized that wasn't who she wanted to be anymore. she became a pokemon trainer instead.

(somewhat unimportantly, her usual trainer design consists of teal highlights in her hair, orange earrings shaped like the heart that goes through a mega gardevoir's chest, and a lot of black and gray. she matches diva, her gardevoir, like alain matches his charizard. they're both extra like that.)

she meets alain viard when they're both 22, shortly after the events of TSME act 4. she's on the gym challenge, and he's... alain. they battle, and he wins. twice in a row. then they go from rivals to rivals with benefits, then maybe even friends if they weren't both so emotionally reclusive i mean haha what-

alarin, aka rin "i'm stronger on my own" yukino and alain "i only destroy those around me" viard

even if he's won both times, alain can't help but be attracted one of the few people who can keep up with him, who cares about winning nearly as much as he does, who treats pokemon battling like it's all she has. he knows the feeling. he thinks she might understand him.

she's half of the reason behind both his decision to fill out his team beyond charizard and his decision to challenge the gyms

when they fall apart, just a month before the team flare crisis, i like to think of them like a supernova. short lived but bright and brilliant. doomed from the start.

the details of their falling out are complicated, so we'd be here all day if i tried to explain.

rin fails to stand by him during the fight against lysandre. she doesn't have the courage to. but she does, however, find him in the aftermath. she helps him heal and pick up the broken pieces. that's where 99% of their relationship really comes from.

i filter them into the category titled "couples written by taylor swift's the great war" and if you know you know

because it's important to me, rin gets along great with mairin.

at first she's a bit annoyed by her over-enthusiasm. rin is cold, blunt, realistic, and introverted, mairin is the opposite of all of those things. but once she sees how much mairin means to alain she does a full 180

and mairin's only ever had older brothers (both in her biological family and in alain), so having rin around to show her how to do her hair, her makeup, AND annoy the hell out of alain when appropriate is her favorite thing ever.

they are very good at bullying alain into taking care of himself (because he is very bad at that, as we all know.)

eventually, rin will go on to become one of the kalos elite four, after malva gets arrested (for being Very Fucking Evil).

one of my favorite things ever to think about is how the random internet people would claim "rin is only with alain to try and get famous" (and also make lengthy twitter/x callout threads on how alain is a problematic person because of his team flare involvement, and therefore decently-well-known league challenger rin yukino is also problematic by proxy), only for alain to generally avoid the public spotlight (there are lots of headcanons here. in short, he goes to university) and rin to be hired as elite four. and then she becomes far more famous as a result. and then the internet trolls are like "...oh." and a majority of the general population doesn't even know she and alain are a thing, because it's only obvious if you scrolled intensely through her instagram account.

i don't know why alarin getting stupid hate threads on twitter/x is the funniest thing to me but it really, really is!!

the internet is convinced alarin is a manipulative ploy on rin's end and one day she reads one of the twitter threads making all these claims about what she's done and she just goes "bitch i did what" and finds it absolutely hilarious

ANYWAYS that is all for now!! this post is so long and this is barely scratching the surface?? they mean so much to me i'm so sorry 😭😭

if literally anybody ever wants to hear about them i will share more. i would cry happy tears.

thank you so much for reading this if you did!! i'm so glad i got to share them for tsme week!

ɪᴛ'ꜱ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ʙᴇ ᴘᴇʀᴍᴀɴᴇɴᴛ :: :: probably not the update y'all were looking for, but also um, hi! It's been a minute. First off to all of you who've asked where I was and worried, you guys are too sweet and little cherubs I'm smooching on the foreheads right now! Secondly, I just don't have time to write or thirst or literally anything. It pains me as writing has always been a huge hobby/outlet/just generally everything to me forever. Shitty thing about getting older is sometimes your hobbies/interests have to take a back seat and suffer while life moves on.

:: as some of you know I'm a mom among other things and basically since Christmas it's been a struggle (loosing naps during the day really fucked things up; crashed right into terrible twos ffs) and I can't get writing into my schedule as it is now. Maybe when the kids in school in a few years I can bring it back. Maybe when my wife's off for summers I'll have more free time. A lot of maybes and that's about it. But hey that's life! I won't be deleting this page as I hope to come back to it maybe in another millennia (RIP) And writing will always be a passion and outlet for me as well as I want the stories to stay up so you all can still enjoy them.

:: thank you to everyone who was super into this page, dom!Readers are so few and far between so I hate having to step back because I love writing and I love putting dom!Readers on the map when they're swept under the carpet for 99% of the fandom. Yes of course I'm still madly in love with Ego and I will stan that man until the day I die and be licking his shaved neck regularly (nor will this mortal form contain me when the U-20 game is animated and he's in his suit, frothing already) That being said I did very much make friends on here and if any of you are still around I'd be happy to privately share my personal Tumblr with you if you want. If your looking for more secret writings I'll be the first to disappoint you as it's just my personal dumpster fire of all weird scrunkly men I love. I'll only be sharing it with people I know I interacted with often so pls send me an ask off anon or just a dm and I'll try to remember to revisit this blog once or twice in case any mutuals just still wanted to be friends. If not then, pls enjoy the dom material still on here, peg all the peggable soccer men and remember Ego's been hot from day one and I'll be gargling his tongue in my mouth daily ✌

9 books

i was tagged for this by the lovely @irrelevanttous and from what i can tell i'm just supposed to list nine books i love/would recommend? so i stared into the abyss of my bookshelf for a little while and tried to pick out a variety! i think that almost all of these would have content warnings, so if you need those and want to pick any of them up, please do a bit of research or feel free to ask. ❤

they can't kill us until they kill us by hanif abdurraqib i have mentioned On Here before that hanif is my favorite poet, but he is also my favorite music writer and one of my favorite nonfiction writers in general. this collection of essays about music and culture is intimate, devastating, hopeful, gorgeous; i return to it often.

the book thief by marcus zusak speaking of books that are devastating and gorgeous! this novel is also a masterclass in point of view.

beartown by fredrik backman i AM a backman fan in general but beartown's my favorite for obvious reasons (it's a hockey book, lmao). i have NOT read the two sequels yet because i'm afraid of how much they're going to hurt my feelings but one of my goals for this winter is to finally do that.

evvie drake starts over by linda holmes a thing about me is that i mostly do not like contemporary romance novels. HOWEVER, i love this book. the characters are richly drawn, the setting does the whole small town thing without feeling like a cliche, the emotional arcs are cathartic.

the farseer trilogy by robin hobb teen becky was obsessed with these books and adult becky has been saying for years she's gonna reread them for the purposes of finally reading the last trilogy in this fantasy universe, but being a little nervous about it because what if they don't hold up? but multiple people with trusted taste have picked them up recently and enjoyed them so i finally did start that reread and i'm having a GREAT time.

the last best league by jim collins i told myself i was only allowed to pick one nonfiction sports book for this list, lol, so this is the one. breezy summer baseball read! i literally read it on a beach the first time i read it, and that was perfect.

she who became the sun/he who drowned the world by shelley parker-chan drags hands down face the GENDER of it all!!!!!!!!! i read the first one early this year and the second one the moment i could get me hands on it and am 99% sure this duology will be my favorite thing i read this year.

michigan vs. the boys by carrie s. allen i did not expect to like this book as much as i did, because i have mostly outgrown YA (with exceptions!) and because i usually find first-person present tense really grating. but i fell in love with this little story about a girl determined to play on the boys' team. it helped a lot that the author REALLY knows her hockey stuff, and clearly loves the game.

reading like a writer by francine prose as a habitual devourer of anything about ~writing craft~ this was one of the first craft books young becky ever read, and i still think it's one of the best. maybe that's because i imprinted on it, but flipping through it just now when i pulled it off the shelf for this list made me want to reread it, so maybe it will do that soon.

i feel like a bunch of my mutuals have already been tagged in this so sorry if i'm double-tagging you, but!! @moregraceful @postoperation @plaintoast @vivathewilddog @warmupbrawl @devantesmithpelly @loveisworry @slightly @thecroissantgirl no pressure only if u want to! 💞

[lexosaurus]

Lexx, outta curiosity do you have an archive of all your past banners and icons? I'm curious to see the evolution if so

As a matter of fact, I do save them all!

Here is a history of the icons (no dates tho cuz im not digging that info up):

Technically the first icon I had was just a generic dp screenshot. I can't remember what is was now. I think it was like 6-8 months before I began making my own icons.

This was the first "custom" icon I made. I created this amazing look on an app called Pizap, which was the first photo editing app I'd ever tried. At the time, it was free to use (I don't believe this is the case anymore? I don't have it anymore so idk). As you can see from the incredible quality, I was truly a master from the start.

I could be mixing up 2 and 3's order, but I'm like 99% sure this was icon 2. I made it for Pride Month because I'm asexual, and I used that same app. I put this icon in every June.

This is icon 3, again still using Pizap. This is sort of the "base" icon that I use for everything now. I really should update this now, but part of me almost likes the retro meme aesthetic.

Here's icon 4, which is just icon 3 but with a Disney Princess hat on it that I put in using Photopea my beloved. I made this after the premier of the Disney soundtrack I participated in.

Icon 5, this was the one you made me in ms paint. Literally still obsessed with it thank u 🤌

After that I went back to icon 3 for a while. This one has always just spoken to me in a way that no other icon ever could.

When Apple threw the goddamn chains on Tungle dot gov and banned like 300 fucking tags, I quickly took icon 3 and threw a censored bar over it because Apple decided to ban the tag "Lex". This tag is still banned on my iphone, along with many others.

As of two days ago, this is now my icon, which will stay for as long as this meme is hot. Honestly, I am just honored that people are finally acknowledging one of my favorite movies of all time. The sound design on it was impeccable, and the score was a true masterpiece.

As for my headers, I've only ever had like 2 of them so they're not really an evolution. I plan on actually redoing it soon because there's something about this design (I'm not specifying what) that has always bugged me. So I can do the header evolution after I've sorted that out.

But honestly I love making little iterations to my icon. I just think it's really funny. The goal is always to be recognizable to those glancing by, but still different enough that someone who actually looks will be like, "wait a second..." (with the exception of pride month which has ace colors).

[shyranno]

I'VE JUST DISCOVERED YOUR COMICS AND AAAAGSHSJJSHDBSBS THEY'RE AMAZING BABY BAD BATCH IS KRIFFING ADORABLE THIS IS BRILLIANT

and sooo... I have a question... I've been inspired by your comics... Ik the typical thing with say TV shows is to do fanart... This is already fanart but I was wondering if I could fan... one-shots? Of you're comics? If that makes sense? A lot of your comics, specifically the Bandana and the Cuddle Pile (I think that's the title of it) had so many headcannons I've used in my fanfics original script - 99 giving Hunter his bandana idea and also Hunter draws, and so many others are great like the one where Crosshair gets his name-

I'd love to go more in depth with how each Batcher felt inside, THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH 99, also with the interactions with regs growing up, you portray it sooo good and just aaaaa-

And the credit would 1000% ofc go to you! And whatever else would be proper!

Idk if this is even a thing, if it's okay or allowed or if artists like you like this sort of thing or get angry about this so if not I understand and I apologize if I offended or annoyed you 😊 just wanted to ask if I could bring your art to life in another way for fun!

Can't wait to see more of your work!!! It's so awesome!!!

Omgosh please, you're not being offensive/annoying at all!! Please don't think that ;u;

Of course you can!! Please do these ideas are free for all 💖 hehe I only ask that you share your completed fics with me so I can consume them like a ravenous animal!!!

You writers are doing holy work and I love you guys so much gddjdjh PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE THESE IDEAS AND RUN WITH THEM its an absolute honour if you do 😭💖💖

[silversupremacy]

Small tutorial on how you design your critters?? You're a inspiration to me I must learn- And, if you want, tutorial on how you draw limbs?

God ok so that's sooo broad that I'm gonna try to sum it up but if you have additional questions feel free to ask I love answering stuff!

So first tutorial on limbs I did in the past here!

This is specifically furry hind legs. And additionally here's my tutorial on paws

If you want a more detailed tutorial, or an arm/front leg tutorial, or specific materials/more species let me know!

OK AN D now how I design object-creatures

I'm assuming you meant object creatures and not just all my creatures, cause I design a lot of little guys.

So I usually have four-ish things I go for in a design depending on the chara-

First is just taking x thing from the object they are and just accenting it. For example, Pepper's tail and ears are Peppercorn plant.

And OJ has that straw tail

So these features aren't really there because they're based on an animal. They're just there cause "orange juice drink, oh maybe they would have a straw tail"

Two, using canon in my design, either through the character's personality, or something taken from the canon.

For example, Baseball in s2 has to tape his pickaxe to his leg to use it. So logically, he wouldn't have little hands to hold the pickaxe with, so that's why I went with hooves! Then from there, I had the idea that he could use his tail to deliver powerful kicks with his legs by leaning back on it (like a kangaroo)

Another example is Fan, he's shown to be able to glide in canon so a lot of people go with bird vibes for him!

Though alternatively, you could also be inspired by the Gliding Snake, the Draco Lizards, or Sugar Gliders! There's a whole bunch of gliding creatures.

And more of a personality thing would be how I give Nickel a little spade tail cause he's a little rat bastard (affectionate). He also has nimble little rat hands cause he's more crafty and sneaky.

Third thing, Including Spec Bio stuff and just neat concepts

This is kinda crossed with the "what would fit this object" thing. But notice that I gave Apple an apple blossom tail. Well then, I developed this idea that maybe the flower would release scents to convey how she feels. Like she might subconsciously release a scent her partner (cough cough marshmallow) finds pleasant in order to relax them. I got this idea from the theory that cats communicate a lot through scent, and it's kinda theorized that cats might release a scent around their human that makes them wanna be friends (with mixed results).

And here for example, Lifering is basically made for ocean life. The idea is that he has a heavy layer of blubber in the winter to keep him warm, and the only difference people would notice is that his 'nose' hole would be smaller. He also has ears that he can use to communicate using them as 'flags' and a tail that he can use to light up in morse code. So basically he's perfect for ocean rescue.

Fourth thing, it just looks cool so why not do it. Clover didn't have a ton of traits go into her design beyond the Clover Flower tail, but she's just kinda nice to look at. Ultimately 99% of her body shape is just cause it's a good design.

And additionally, a lot of my creatures are made from just my vague and rough knowledge of creatures. I have just read a lot of animal facts in my life and kinda just recall a lot of what I've read and seen.

So just having wide knowledge of animals on earth helps a lot! Another part of me making an object-creature is just going "what animal do they remind me of"

Oh and a misc note abt my creatures, I have very few rules but one of them I try to keep to is that they have three toes and four fingers (three fingers one thumb). Some leg only objects have four toes technically (three fingers one thumb) But the idea is connected to how animal life on earth is built roughly the same. Like how bats have five fingers, they just stretched out looong into wings. And cats have five fingers on their front paws but only four on their back, But there's evidence of ancestors having those five toes Im p sure.

It's a similar thing abt how we can find specific bones in birds similar to our own arm and leg bones. Just considering what the path of evolution of these objects is neat.

But since objects reproduce via. magic exclusively in my verse, I kinda just do whatever! It's the reason why traits kinda got jumbled up (ex. mammal with reptile traits) cause the use of magic kinda just scrambled things.

Uhm hope this helps??? let me know if you have more questions ig????

[waitingonthewind]

Out of all your characters (from games or otherwise), which one do you think is the most like you? In what ways? Was it intentional, or was it an accident you only noticed after the fact?

(Feel free to delete if it feels too personal 🙈)

@undead-potatoes aaaaaa thanks so much for the ask!!! i don't love doing self reflection (i have a hard time in identifying things about myself and often rely on other people to Tell Me Who I Am) but i love talkin about my ocs so this ended up really big

ill pop the majority of this under the cut but here take an unfinished doodle of my first attempt at a fursona in this the year 2023 bc i finally had some insight into What That Might Be for me its a leafy sea dragon bc as a kid i loved dragons and also leafy sea dragons specifically and as an adult i love fish and plants and the colour green ok basics covered here we go

its a really tough one, especially since all my characters have huge parts of me in them (u point to one of my guys and there's a 99% chance they're queer and a 95% chance they're autistic), and the majority of my characters infect me with Their personalities and traits (speech mannerisms especially... i went about 3 years peppering the word gotcha into every other sentence bc of ollwyn. in terms of it being intentional, usually only one or two bits with each character. i try my best to give characters personality traits and interests that differ from my own, or at the very least mix and match bits and pieces.

sometimes i'll try and make characters that are so so different from me but then it backfires because it means that im far more likely to pick up that character's traits (i didn't swear at All in my whole life until i tried making a character outside my comfort zone who Did swear a lot and now fucking look at me). i also don't like doing my Research so going for interests that i don't know a lot about means i don't. know anything about them lmao.

i think it's impossible to have a character that isn't at least Somewhat like you, we draw from our own experiences and ways of seeing the world, after all. i know i put little pieces of myself into every character and it's hard to say if there's any One character that embodies me most.

almost none of my characters really look like me tho

all that being said i've narrowed down my entire list to three of note. all three are dnd or other ttrpg characters bc they're the ones that i find myself having to think most about in terms of how they Think and Feel in any given situation and over time would notice stuff about myself or about them that i didn't realise were related.

i think these days ollwyn wins out personality wise goofy, indignant, lonely, desperate for approval, and loud. they're stubborn and enthusiastic, needs to be centre of attention but doesn't want to take the lead. they don't have many friends but latch onto those they do make. i re-realised my rat dreams because of them. i made em a bard bc i was obsessed with music as an aesthetic.

i made em a half-elf because i didn't wanna be Too out there with character creation (back when i was a terrified lil new rp-er who hadn't touched dnd before and felt i hadn't Earned anything more interesting yet). then magic and stuff happened and they got all the over-the-top design elements i was too nervous to implement initially and even that feels representative of my Own growth in being more Out There with my aesthetics and personality (i.e. completely shutting off my social filter, not toning shit down so much anymore)

oh i know i said none of my characters really look like me but i almost never draw ollwyn with their mouth fully closed and i only realised like years later that it may have been just a mild lil projection of a habit. i got big front teeth and breathing issues and i find it uncomfortable to close my lips Most of the time lmao

my poor unfortunately named aasimar (it was 2018........ i promise...............) takes the cake when it comes to suffering the brunt of my neurodivergence and sensory issues, and represents a significant portion of the judgy parts of myself that i try not to let myself be. strong opinions, blunt, tone issues, big issues with food and touch. comes across as, and often is, very critical. the biggest difference between me and them is that they don't feel bad about those aspects of themself lol

where i spend every moment of my life either desperately concentrating on my wording so as not to come across as rude, or feeling shitty for coming across as blunt/aggressive in tone or phrasing (where 99% of the time i absolutely don't mean it that way im autistic pls im autistic if i wanna be able to get the Right words out the tone doesn't match and vice versa), corona just says what they want or what they think, and if people get offended, that's People's fault for not trying to make more of an effort to understand the way they talk.

sal is my Top Oc Of All Time and as such takes on a lot of random aspects of myself (skin picking, fidgeting, latent anxiety, All of the visual aesthetics i Wish i could pull off, my love of birds, my tendency to Mr Burns Posture my way through life. she's also very very australian), while also inflicting things on me lmao ive learned more about my gender from the years of playing her in her rp campaign than in the rest of my entire life. a lot of her experiences and dynamics with her friends and family reflect a lot of aspects of my own

i only want good things for her and constantly put her through fucking hell

anyway they're all So Much Weirder as people than I can really put on paper and in (relatively) different ways but i just know it all stems from the Who I Am of it all

bonus shout out to beki:

she was my homestuck fankid and first proper oc, which also meant that she was only about two steps away from a self insert. because i made her as a teenager, i feel the distance between us more each year, but im still very fond of her, in the same way i am for my teenage self. i wanna pat her head and tell her she's cool and not annoying and that her friends don't hate her and that things will be okay

i think it says a lot about me that all four of these guys fall somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum (almost in order of least to most aggressively aro/ace. ollwyn's a demiromantic greysexual, corona is demi + grey on both romantic & sexual orientations, sal's pretty much only interested in the One Guy Ever, and beki is sex repulsed, 100% aro/ace) lmao

About My Books: A Guide to the Current Works

The Moonrise trilogy is the only one still with a publisher. It's got werewolves and vampires, so it gets slotted into paranormal or contemporary fantasy, which is close enough, but the werewolves and vampires are more cryptid-like than supernatural. Edge of the Woods is out now, and there are two more books in the series; Night Is for Hunting is currently in edits and delayed, and then Wilderness of Horrors will be the final volume. It features three main POV characters -

Haley, mid-20s, bisexual, 50 pounds of chaos in a 25 pound bag, and a werewolf struggling to feel at home in the alpha position of her pack.

Leland, late-20s, bisexual, human, chronically tired, life's mantra is "well, somebody's gotta do it," currently regretting his career path in law enforcement due to a clash of his ideals with the realities of the system.

Diego, late teens/early 20s, gay, used to be a human and is real mad that he isn't anymore, gotta go fast, also possibly trying to date a vampire from the nearby colony that the werewolf pack is forbidden to contact.

The Southern Sapphics short stories are 99 cents on Amazon or free on my Payhip, and are set in Alabama. Grace knows her crush on her brother's best friend Maya isn't unrequited and is very determined to make it go somewhere. Contains three volumes so far: Swelter (v steamy), Soak (contemplative), Shiver (cozy). Tentative future stories are planned.

Welcome to the Show is a complete rewrite of the last novel I released as M. Jules Aedin, Lovegames. I had pretty much complete creative control over this, for better or for worse, and owe a debt of gratitude to Skye Kilaen for pre-reading the old version and helping me identify places I wanted to make changes...which turned out being pretty much all of it. I went into it with much more understanding of what made my characters tick, and had a great time centering queer experiences and environments and different queer identities more than I was able to in the first version. It does deal with some heavy mental health issues, but I'm happy with how it was handled. Paperbacks are available on Amazon, and the ebook is available on Amazon or on my Payhip. If you go through Payhip (storefront juleskelleybooks), the code QUEERJOY will make it free for you at checkout. Currently the coupon does not have an expiration date.

Upcoming:

Other than Night Is for Hunting, my next projects that are closest to being done are Stars Still Fall, a Southern Gothic set in the 1990s about a girl with complicated feelings for her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend and who is also being haunted; and a rewrite of Windows in Time, one of my other old out of print titles that needs reworking for me to be happy with putting my name on it again.

There's about a dozen other WIPs in various stages of doneness, and I look forward to the day they're ready to share!

UM GOOD MORNING??? (its morning for me im serious i literally just woke up) hope your having a good day im about to give everything about meliora 🤗

SOOOOOO meliora is a 13-member under two fictional companies louvix audio and sonata media, they were the second only successful group under their company after their former boy group RIX disbanded in 2016, so, company said; "WE NEED SOMETHING NEW!", and they recruited the thirteen members over a period of 10 months through global auditions!!! so that's just great

okay off to the members;

kasemchai 'chaiya' shinawatra - 99 liner, thai, probably a man kisser in his free time, and also a professional flirt too!, used to be a child model and he decided "fuck college i'm gonna sing" so he auditioned!, his fc is the actor jeff satur

hong yohan - 00 liner, korean, 1 of 4 introverts in the whole group, the leader of the group, he scares his members without even trying, his fc is that one nct mf (it's haechan)

ko junmin - 00 liner, korean, 2 of 4 introverts in the whole group, a perfectionist for life, he also did taekwondo!, his fc is park jihoon (the actor not from treasure)

jung hajoon - 00 liner, korean, adopted (yeah he actually is), his adopted father is half filipino so he's fluent in tagalog, theater kid (derogatory), his fc is kim sunwoo from the boyz

ahn 'kyrie' kyuhyun - 01 liner, korean, a former actor and fencer (he starred in boys over flowers), the tallest member, also quite literally the perfect man (he's also the token straight of the group), his fc is yoon sanha from astro

yeo 'hwan' jihwan - 01 liner, korean, 3 of 4 introverts in the whole group, he's the one member who can go without talking the whole day, the center of the group despite his shyness, his fc is son dongju from oneus

cho haneul - 01 liner, korean, confirmed man kisser, the most affectionate member of the group, bro can play the guitar (i'm down on my knees), his fc is shin yechan from omega x

matsuda 'kiro' kyoichi - 02 liner, japanese, a former member of a j-pop boy band, his father is so famous in japan i'm not even joking, he has a huge fanbase and is the sunbaenim of everyone in the whole group, his fc is terazono keita from ciipher

kang 'z' yaejoon - 02 liner, korean, the groups comedic genius, the only reason he auditioned was actually because of a bet, he used to play hockey, his fc is jung sungchan from riize

bae 'byeol' yongrae - 02 liner, korean, has been dancing since literally forever, his birthdays on halloween!!, he's a huge fan of kai and he cried when he got to meet him for the first time, his fc is my bae song hyeongjun from cravity

sim 'chrysa' jaehwan - 03 liner, korean, he really likes kyuhyun, seriously he was a huge fan of him before they debuted together, also a comedic genius, his fc is your bae hwang intak from p1harmony

kristian 'jian' li - 04 liner, chinese-american, rich, he's one of the youngest but he's also 6'1, professional coffee hater, and cat lover, his fc is young and rich fall and handsome

aikawa 'taro' kiyoshi - 04 liner, japanese, the maknae, a teddy bear collector, can never be clean like it's impossible for him, his fc is nishimura riki from enhypen

OKAY SO UHHH OTHER THAN THAT, their fandom name is aponia because meliora is a word that means "better" and the word aponia is an "absence of pain" so they FIT TOGETHER!!!

anyway thats the group, there is a lot more bad stuff concerning the personal lives of the members because they're all traumatized in one way or another (so sorry i love my babies i swear) so um whose your bias 🤗???

the way i am the #1 aponia. The original. unless you've told someone else ab them and they've said the same thing so we have to compete (i cant fight so i hope u havent 😓😓 2yrs of martial arts in primary school has done nothing for me bye). I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM?!? Holds them in hands.. puts them in a jar.. shakes them around really hard in the jar.. opens the lid... pours them into my hands.. eats them like orbeez.. dies from food poisoning (u probably cant eat orbeez).....

OK BIASES. hajoon YOHAN and jaehwan YUPP 👍👍👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 oh but junmin too........ i fucking LOVE park jihoon i rewatch whc1 every other week i swear (nothing broke me like that show did . Im in so much pain). i will collect all their pcs and line then up next to my bed and pat their little heads before i go to sleep

IM IN LOVE W THIS AND THEM!!!!!!!!! UR MIND!!!!!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!!! ur giving me tell-u-things-ab-my-silly-ocs-too itis... Stop it .

CORYNN HI

belated merry christmas if u celebrate!!! wow im so late but let's pretend im not 🙂

i hope that you're doing well and enjoying the rest of this year!

also a question that has been on my mind lately, what is the inspiration of your username? i'd guess it's because of that book, 6 of crows? maybe i got the title wrong woops hehe but yeah!! feel free to explain it or not :) and also, if you'd like to, recommend us some books!! i'm not a native english speaker so i'm looking for a few books to read in english :^)

take care of yourself! and have a good day <3

so I had just finished typing a giant response to this when my laptop died and deleted the whole thing💀 so here we are for round two.

if you were late for christmas wishes, then I am like, horribly horribly late. so instead.. happy new year! hope it treats you well ash <3

as for my username, yes it is inspired by six of crows hehe. I made this account way back in 2017 and didn't rlly use it, but when I came back to write fanfic I thought it was kinda cool and kept it even though the blog has nothing to do with the series lol.

but as for book recs, ofc I have some! admittedly I haven't read much in the last year or two, so some of these I read a while ago and am not sure if they still live up to how much I loved them years ago, but I figured i'd include them anyway:

all time favs:

the secret history by donna tartt: this is like, my all time favourite book, when people ask this is what i say. it's the only book i've bothered to read twice. admittedly I know it isn't for everyone, as it's highly satirical and slow-paced, but if you're alright with that I can't recommend it enough. i'm low-key an avid hater of first person narration 99% of the time, but richard's perspective in this book is so deliciously horrible I can't help but love it. honestly i could talk about it forever. highly recommend.

the way of kings by brandon sanderson. this book is literally everything I could ever hope to achieve with my writing. so complex. such amazing characters and development. insane world building. and so massive. it's like 1200 pages, and there's four more with the same amount that are already out, of what will become ten. it is a commitment, but I think it's so worth it (I'm currently almost done book 2, and will be immediately picking up book 3). if you like fantasy this is my number one rec.

the grishaverse by leigh bardugo. given my username i'm sure this isn't a surprise lolol. this series includes some of my favourite characters across any form of media. it includes the shadow and bone trilogy, the six of crows duology, and the king of scars duology. personally while I think the shadow and bone trilogy is the weakest instalment (mostly bc I don't like first person narrative) it's where I would start. fun story, great cast, and a good way to settle into the world. they're also YA so they read pretty easy.

some other books/series I recommend (with variety for your reading preferences):

an ember in the ashes quartet by sabaa tahir

the raven cycle by maggie stiefvater

1984 by george orwell

turtles all the way down by john green

they both die at the end by adam silvera

the troop by nick cutter

illuminae by jay kristoff and amie kaufman.

[brick-a-doodle-do]

Oh Brick, you should of seen this coming.

For the gt ask game

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20

WHAT IS WITH YOU AND ORCHID ISTG-- /POS

ALSO I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T ONLINE U USUALLY AREN'T ON UNTIL AT LEAST 9 FOR ME 😭....

i will reluctantly (/j) answer... :D

1: answered!

2: what size do you interact with best?

speaking PERSONALLY, i feel like i'd be a fumbling mess (in a nervious/scared way,,,) around a giant so probably my own size 😭😭

3: what would your giant/tiny home look like?

ngl i think about this so often!! i'd have a tiny home cause yk,, but i want something like pogtopia !! like the array of stairs everywhere?? it seems so eerie but i'd love it! :D

4: do you have a sona? tell us about them!

i'm like... 99% sure everyone is aware of c!brick but i'll still give a rundown

brick is my sona, she's a borrower at 2.5 inches. she looks a lot like my pfp (although her hair is more of a hot pink--think my old pfp). she's a griffin hybrid and she lives in c!orchids house :) atm c!orchid is unaware of this 💪

there's more to come on her :D

5: answered!

6: fairies or borrowers?

borrowers. HOWEVER i do not have a lot of experience with fairies,,,

7: answered!

8: sci-fi shrinking or magic shrinking

*looks at curiosity and looks back to you*

9: what's your favorite piece of sizey media?

honey i shrunk the kids trilogy it cute, my favorite of those movies are honey i blew up the kid cause what's not to love about a giant kid? :D then honey we shrunk ourselves is #2. and honestly that's probably it,, i don't really consume a lot of g/t media because i don't know a lot of it. arrietty is cute but also the only other g/t thing i've seen. recs would be nice !! :D /nf

10: what's the last tv show you watched, any size headcannons for it?

kimmy schmidt is the last thing i watch watched !!

i like the thought of the reverend being g! and the girls being t! like it'd be so much easier to kidnap them, PLUS the bunker'd be so tinyyyy sdjgds

i like the thought of t!titus too, but primarily t!kimmy is what sparks in my mind,,,

also the thought of t!lillian just murdering ppl is so funny---she'd just attack everyone lmfaoo

11: what song gives you size vibes?

i think this is a really generic answer, but always forever by cults

12: answered!

13: what kind of pet would you like at your size?

for a borrower, befriending a bug would be the most obvious things, but i'm thinking logically, and logically speaking that would be absolutely terrifying (imo). so my next option would be to befriend the household pet. it'd be a free ride. and hopefully they won't steal me and take me to the human--

14: answered!

15: what g/t scenario is the funniest to you?

same as orchids, when another person shrinks someone on accident when they're messing with a shrink ray/potion/etc. that or two humans asking a sizeshifter to size them down and they just run amok and cause chaos (hint hint school floors au hint hint) oh and also when the human is more scared of the tiny than the tiny is of the human (hint hint ghost files au)

16: answered!

17: how long have you been into g/t?

long as i can remember. when i was younger it was definitely more subtle and i didn't exactly know g/t was a thing---but still!

technically speaking i joined the g/t fandom mid-last year,,,,,

18: answered!

19: what’s your all-time favorite g/t daydream - the one thing you keep going back to?

on a daily basis, i still think about a borrower chatting with a human through a vent. like behind the bars and stuff, that way the borrower is safe. and my bed is on the floor while we wait for a new bedframe and the vent is right by my head, so that thought crosses my mind more than once a day.

also tiny workers is on my mind 24/7,,

20: a fictional character you really wanna shrink/grow?

no one, because he already exists in shrunken form

(my answer is wilbur even though technicallyyyy he isn't fictional,,)

not the most extravagant piece I've ever made for something like this but. Here's a little drawing I made for Undertale's anniversary!! Like I said I would!

It would've been nice to get a piece with more of the characters but alas

Also I feel like Chara could be better but I always have trouble drawing them quite right >:|

Anyway uhhhh yeah!!

so I recall this line in outlast 2 when you end up in St. Sybil one of the first times. Blake says somethin like "Great. Back in the Fourth Grade." meaning those the stuff he's reliving must've happened in that grade.

And we know that 4th graders are typically either 9 or 10

(assuming Jess was in the same grade she was only 9 or 10 as well which. damn.)

But we ALSO know what year this takes place in, because there's multiple instances on papers and stuff with the year 1995 (in fact it's December 1995 iirc). I don't have any screenshots on-hand but I could totally go get some at some point lol

MeaninG Blake was 9 or 10 in 1995

We also know that Outlast 2 takes place not all that long after the first game does (due to the Murkoff Account, which, admittedly I haven't read in a while so feel free to correct me there). And we know Outlast happened in 2013.

This mean that our pal Blake is most likely 28 (or 27). Which also makes him the youngest, since Miles and Waylon are both supposedly in their "early to mid 30s" (I couldn't see the cited tweet so for all I know this could be inaccurate but it sounds reasonable enough for me to believe).

Also Waylon has two kids so I'm inclined to believe he's the oldest but like they're all like a few years apart in age anyway lol

Anyway this is probably really obvious stuff but I thought it was interesting for some reason

random minor thing but I always thought that while Frisk's SAVEs are like normal manual save point saving you'd expect to see, when Flowey steals back control as Omega Flowey, the whole "File x loaded/saved" thing gives the vibes of someone using an emulator. Where you have multiple interchangeable save states that you can save or load to whenever you want, even if the game isn't normally capable of that.

In particular it makes me think back to repeatedly loading a save state in Majora's Mask because of the goddamn town shooting gallery mini game AUGh

Which I guess it kind of makes sense? Omega Flowey is artificially stealing control of the game, sort of like how an emulator gives you an artificial way of accessing a game (in the sense of like I could play a PS1 game on my pc, or a N64 game on my Wii U, for example). So not only does his save system make sense from an in-game stand point, it's kinda cool from a meta standpoint too.

At least, I think it is.

My #1 post of 2022

late night posting of an old-ish drawing

Psychonauts was big on my mind for a short while there and although it's not my current focus, the games are still really great!! And I still like this little drawing I did of Raz.

It was interesting trying to translate his design to my art style, because that game has a very particular look (in a good way).

also hope y'all don't mind my random mish-mash of posting and reblogging various stuff, I cannot be consistent to save my life

Hopefully I'll have some new art to share soon though!! Assuming this funk of mine dies down, anyway.

My #1 post of 2022

This is VERY self insert but enjoy!

Thank you @johnsrevelation for helping me and being an editor. Im more of a drawer than writer, lol.

-

I sit nervously in the chair as he does his usual set up with black latex gloves,the packaged needle,piercing tongs and the bar.

He gives me mouthwash to swish around, along with a cup to spit into.

“Say ‘ah’ “ he smiles, sticking out my tongue he marks it gently with an ink pen.

He gets the tongs ready, lining up the needle. “On three, we will breath in and out, got it?” I look up at him, making eye contact nodding.

His breath catches, as he tries to focus on his job,”One... two... three,” he breaths in with me and lets it go as he sticks the needle through.

I whimper at the sharp pain, tears rolling down my cheeks as i squeeze my eyes tightly shut,”good job, little one...” he whispers to me as he finishes putting in the bar.

“All done. Take a look,” he hands me a small mirror after cleaning his space.

I wipe my eyes and look at my tongue, smiling i thank him and pay; later on after i make an appointment with Sukuna, Toji asks to “check on the piercing.”

But it's only a ploy to get his big fingers in my mouth again-

"oh calm down, I'm just checking on my little client. Need to make sure this cute pink tongue is okay, right?” He winking at me, as he crouches down. "Thinking of any more piercings? I do everything." Sukuna sighs and stops the needle. "Toji, I'm gonna throw you out." He says, jealous.
