We had SUCH a fantastic response from the interest check, we thought it would be fun to share it with you!

Check out under the cut for both the results and a sneak peek into the epic aesthetic planned for the zine with the gorgeous graphics designed by Mod Berry (this is Mod Jade, so I can gush ;) ) Enjoy!

How many responses did we get? 169! (Wow, thank you!)

When we asked how interested you were in the seasons theme, with 1 being "not my thing" and 5 being "super excited", 119 of you answered with a 5, 44 answered with a 4, and 6 answered with a 3- and no one answered a 1 or a 2!

6.5% of you wanted just a digital zine, 18.9% wanted just a physical zine, and 74.6% wanted both digital and physical!

104 of you wanted to show your interest by buying and 103 wanted to show your interest by applying to contribute! 13 of you were interested as moderators, 82 as page artists, 48 as merch artists, 48 as writers, and 54 just wanted to buy!

When it came to how much you would be willing to pay (in USD):

For the Physical Zine with merch, 58 of you (34%) said you'd be willing to pay $50-55, 55 of you (32.5%) would be willing to pay $55-60, 34 of you (20.1%) said you'd be willing to pay $60-65, 11 of you (6.5%) would be willing to pay $65-70, and 11 (6.5%) of you also said you'd pay more than $70.

For the Physical Zine without merch, 68 of you (40.2%) said you'd be willing to pay $20-25, 78 of you (46.2%) said you'd pay $25-30, and 23 of you (13.6%) said you'd pay $30-35.

For the Digital Zine, 142 of you (84%) said you'd pay $15-20, 24 of you (14.2%) said you'd pay $20-25, and 3 of you (1.8%) said you'd pay $25-30.

117 of you (69.2%) said you wanted merch, 48 (28.4%) of you said maybe you wanted merch, and 4 of you (2.4%) said merch wasn't necessary!

Your top 5 digital merch items were screensavers, colouring sheets, seasonal checklists, printable stickers, and a printable standee.

Your top 5 physical merch items were acrylic charms, sticker sheets, fake polaroids, prints, and badges/buttons.

Your top 5 stretch goal items were an enamel pin, an acrylic charm, a shaker charm, an acrylic standee, and a themed sticky note pad!

We had some amazing additional suggestions for merch, but sadly a lot of them would require a huge number of orders... If you really fancy a notebook, help us keep the interest high!

We asked for a vote on what other characters you wanted to see hanging out with the Pines Family enjoying the seasons! It was great to see the list! Many of you suggested fantastic characters we didn't even have on the list!

Soos had 144 votes, Wendy had 141, Fiddleford had 112, Mabel's friends (Candy and Grenda) had 87 votes, Pacifica had 76 votes, Bill Cipher had 61 votes, Wendy's friends (the teens) had 39 votes, Cryptids (like the Multibear, Sev'ral Times, and Giffany) had 7 votes, Melody had 4, Waddles had 4, Gideon had 3, Gompers had 1, and Abuelita (Soos' Grandma!) had 1.

And finally- the answer to the classic question: What is your favourite season? 19.2% of you said Spring was your favourite, 26.9% said Summer was your favourite, 15% loved Winter the best, and 38.9% said your favourite season was Autumn!

Here are some links to the wonderful fonts we used in the graphics!

new pinned post

hi i'm cio, most of this is copy/pasted from my bsd-only blog @bungoustraypups-verse

i also have my @bungostraydogs-nextgen blog for my bsd fankid/next gen character development where i plan to be more active soon

make sure to read my carrd

here's my link in bio page too

i’m 25

things to remember when interacting with my posts/content:

yes i love mori. no i do not think mori is a canon pedophile or child predator (he isn’t a canon child predator either, for that matter) and i do not think mori abused dazai. yes i am open to discussing why i believe this and you’re welcome to debate me on the second opinion, but i am not open to arguing about it, and i am not open to debate on the first one. please respect my boundaries.

fukumori is my OTP and i have specific ways i like to discuss them. specifically, on any post i make, do not discuss anything about them being "divorced" or anything other than actively in love with each other unless i bring it up. it bothers and distresses me when this is brought up against my will, especially on my posts i make about them or implying them being a thing, so on and so forth. always assume my fukumori posts are made with the intent of them being actively together and in love unless i say otherwise explicitly

i'm aware that there's a lot of canon divergence in how i portray the characters, it's on purpose, and how i portray them in my fanworks is not necessarily reflective of how i think they would or should behave in canon, and aspects of some of their backstories/some headcanons i have for them apply solely when writing them in fanworks and not in the canonical material. please don't assume things about how i watch/read BSD based off my fics, especially when it comes to verses that are completely separate AUs and not just canon divergent

don't trash talk mori on my posts. seriously. i don't wanna hear about how you hate or dislike him even if you're being nice about it. he's my favorite character. go say that on someone else's post

i am an OSDD system of 300+. we are polyfragmented. one of my most active sysmates is a mori fictive. my system’s fictives are not the same as their source and for the love of god please don’t ask him or any of the others invasive or weird questions. be nice and treat them like the people they are, if they choose to communicate on this blog.

i have 400 bsd fankids and ocs and a multitude of aus.

here is a non-detailed list of the fankids/ocs

here is the website i store the profiles for the ones who have profiles, they’re not all done yet and more are coming

here is the list of aus (link pending)

the quickest way to my heart is to ask me questions about these guys.

eventually i’ll have a tag page. stay tuned.

please reblog this linked post bc im in a bad financial place and need donations to at least try to keep my mental health intact as well as to pay for some of my subscriptions i have that make me happy <3

IMPORTANT PORTRAYAL NOTES

i  won't  lie.  my  portrayal  is  different  than  what  you  would  expect  from  what  the  sources  from  which  ace is from.  manga  /  anime  comes  and  what  happens  to  it  pre  -  timeskip  and  post  time-skip.  while  i  have  important  details  listed  in  my  pinned's  meta  masterlist  and  also  in  my  carrd,  i  talk  about  it  i  know  that  some  facts  can  be  overlooked  (  which  is  no  problem  )  so  i  seen  other  blogs  do  things  like  these,  and  i  find  it  helpful  to  list  a  pill  of  the  canon's  blog  in  shorter  version  for  easy  understanding  of  what  to  expect  on  my  blog.  what's  listed  is  my  personal  analysis,  changes  and  what  is  incorporated  in  replies  within  the  one  piece  world.  triggering  content  ahead  so  be  warned.   any  character  mention  does  not  have  to  apply  to  the  muse  that  you  play.  you  don't  have  to  as  a  writer  acknowledge  these  things  /  we  can  come  to  terms  or  i  don't  mind  going  canon  vanilla  if  you  don't  wish  to  acknowledge  these  portrayal  infos.  i  don't  mind  worldbuilding  facts  along  with  other  people  as  well  and  in  fact,  it'd  be  happy  to  do  so. for more info click the links under certain sentences ! or head to my study directory in my pinned.

001. rouge  didn't  die  right  after  ace  was  born.  i  don't  like  that  fact,  i  don't  like  it  when  people  speculate  that  ace  was  over  a  year  old  before  he  left  his  mother's  belly.  that's  just  supernatural  to  me.  there's  nothing  said  that  rouge  was  anything  but  normal.  and  the  risk  of  death  for  a  child  who  is  longer  in  his  mother's  body  than  40  weeks  rises  really  high.  ace  would  have  died  if  rouge  had  kept  him  longer  than  a  month  over  the  estimated  birth  peroid.  while  i  understand  that  she  wanted  to  defend  him  with  this  was  never  said  to  be  risky,  it  is.  rouge  held  ace  in  her  womb  for  2  week  more  before  his  birth.  that  was  enough  time  for  garp  to  secretly  transport  her  to  a  safe  place  on  one  of  the  islands  on  the  south  blue.  she  gave  birth  to  ace  and  raised  him  for  3  more  years  before  her  health  began  to  deteriorate.  before  her  death,  she  entrusted  ace  to  garp.  

002. ace  was  13  by  the  time  he  met  luffy.  the  reason  for  the  outstretched  timeline  is  to  fit  the  fact  listed  above.  ace  was  raised  first  by  rouge  before  he  even  got  to  foosha  village.  ace  is  older  and  it  is  also  the  reason  of  my  canon  being  tied  to  the  canon  with  another's  person's  muse  (  law  ).  he  was  more  destructive  to  himself  than  he  was  to  sabo  or  luffy.  when  yes,  he  was  indeed  a  bitter  child  after  growing  up  to  understand  what  happened  to  him,  why  he  is  here  and  why  the  world  stands  closed  to  him  with  a  wall,  he  didn't  blame  anyone  but  himself  for  it  and  his  grief,  anger  wasn't  taken  out  as  much  on  luffy  as  he  was  taking  it  on  himself.

003. your  muse  has  obviously  no  prior  knowledge  of  his  past.  all  that  is  known  is  that  ace  is  a  pirate,  his  name  is  portgas  d.  ace  and  his  alias  is  fire  fist  ace.  since  forever  his  identity  has  been  hidden  by  him  at  the  cost  of  everything.  the  first  person  to  ever  know  who  ace  is,  who  his  biological  family  is,  is  sabo  and  then  deuce.  the  fact  that  ace  is  roger's  son  didn't  come  to  light  (  for  the  public  )  until  ace  was  thrown  in  jail  and  then  sentenced  to  death  which  he  avoided.  only  whitebeard  and  certain  members  of  the  crew  (  marco,  izou  )  knew  about  who  he  really  was.  his  priority  was  and  still  is  to  talk  as  little  as  possible  about  himself,  where  he  comes  from  and  the  only  parental  figure  he  adheres  to  is  whitebeard.  ace  considers  him  his  only  father,  because  he  has  no  memory  of  roger.  he  doesn't  hate  his  biological  father  to  the  point  of  disrespect.  he  just  thinks  he  owns  him  nothing.

004. ace  is  a  hunter  and  gambler  first  and  pirate  second.  living  for  a  really  long  time  in  a  forest  that  was  like  a  real  jungle.  filled  with  predators,  snakes,  crocodiles.  everything  you  can  imagine,  ace  fought  to  survive,  ace  hunted  to  be  able  to  bring  meat  back  to  dadan  to  be  able  to  feed,  to  be  useful  in  what  he  does.  he  has  incredibly  sharp  instincts.  he  has  insane  tracking  abilities,  knows  how  to  hunt  and  follows  his  own  hunting  code.  he  doesn't  harm  the  first  better  animals,  he's  not  cruel  to  them.  ace  in  fact  connects  very  much  with  animals,  and  they  resonate  with  him  just  as  much.  his  gambling  addiction  began  in  his  early  teens  when  he  played  to  win  money  with  adults  in  the  gray  terminal,  in  taverns  placed  within  the  goa  kingdom  to  earn  his  and  sabo's  common  goal.  he  would  steal  from  people,  pirates.  but  the  card  game  was  becoming  something  he  was  really  good  at.  his  addiction  can  be  cruel,  and  ace  is  really  serious  when  it  comes  to  gambling.

005. post  -  timeskip  when  ace  underwent  rehabilitation  from  the  damage  he  sustained  after  the  war  over  marineford  he  learned  to  use  haki.  like  luffy  and  his  crew  ace  spent  his  days  training,  improving  his  own  health  and  mentality.  his  haki  empowered  ability  of  the  mera  mera  no  mi  he  mastered  is  called  '  the  fudo  myoo  '  in  short,  a  god  of  fire.  much  like  luffy's  gears,  ace  extended  the  power  of  mera  mera  no  mi  thanks  to  his  hard  training.  the  fruit's  awakening  ability  is  called  the  demon  inferno,  allowing  ace  to  create  fire-like  creatures  that  are  independent  but  controlled  by  ace  and  his  flames.  are  a  living  part  of  him  and  have  inherited  behaviors  and  abilities  (  eg.  agility,  speed,  strength,  combat  ability  )  that  ace  observed  in  animals  during  his  life  as  a  hunter  /  during  his  voyages  and  adventures  over  the  seas.

006. ace  has  narcolepsy.  which  is  basically  a  sleeping  disease.  he  finds  it  hard  to  stay  awake  for  long  periods  of  time  which  causes  him  to  fall  asleep  suddenly  and  randomly.  he  sometimes  experiences  muscle  tone  which  is  basically  caused  by  strong  emotions  such  as  anger,  sadness  and  excitement  but  most  of  the  times  laughter  is  the  strongest  case.  there's  no  cure  to  this  disease  and  since  ace  doesn't  really  have  medication  for  this  to  at  least  keep  the  symptoms  in  check  it  appears  pretty  frequently  in  his  case.  most  of  the  times  ace  falls  asleep  while  eating  because,  when  the  meal  is  rich  in  carbohydrates  and  protein  which  are  essential  to  build  up  strength  he  gets  an  uptake  of  tryptophan  from  the  protein  and  then  an  increase  of  serotonin.  eating  also  causes  blood  sugar  levels  to  rise,  which  can  lead  to  a  decrease  in  energy  and  the  more  he  feels  tired  the  easier  it  is  for  his  narcolepsy  to  trigger  suddenly.

007. ace  is  depressed.  maybe  he  doesn't  look  like  that  at  first  glance.  when  someone  meets  him  ace  seems  to  be  an  incredibly  kind,  carefree  and  confident  person.  and  yes,  he  is  exactly  like  that.  however,  ace  also  has  some  problems  with  his  mentality  that  were  born  when  he  was  a  child  left  behind  within  the  walls  of  the  goa  kingdom.  he  also  struggles  with  a  lot  of  insecurity  when  it  comes  to  his  relationship,  self-worth  and  survival  trauma  after  the  war.  ace  post-  timeskip  doesn't  resemble  himself  in  some  aspects  that  happened  before  the  war.  it  changed  him,  the  way  he  had  to  live  changed  him.  what  happened  between  luffy  and  him  changed  his  perspective  about  a  few  things,  about  his  will  to  live.  he  wants  to  live,  he  finally  understood  that  he  doesn't  want  to  die.  he  wants  to  live,  even  if  it  is  a  sin.  even  if  his  existence  is  hell  on  earth,  he  wants  to  live  because  luffy  proved  to  him  that  despite  who  ace  thinks  he  is,  there  are  people  who  love  and  loved  him.

008. ace  is  indifferent  heat  or  high  temperatures.  they  are  completely  indifferent  to  him,  and  he  would  most  likely  feel  a  change  in  temperature  only  if  something  were  hotter  than  his  orange  flames.  (  these  flames  reach  around  1,100°c  to  1,200°c  /  2,000º  f  to  2,200º  f.  )  otherwise  ace  does  not  feel  a  change  in  climate,  temperature-wise  would  be  logical  considering  when  he  was  moving  through  the  deserts  in  alabasta  his  clothing  was  completely  black.  as  is  well  known,  black  or  dark  colours  attracts  heat  and  sunlight  but  it  made  absolutely  no  impression  on  him  even  when  he  spent  hours  in  the  bare  sun  in  the  middle  of  the  desert.

independent & selective roleplay blog for kugisaki nobara from jujutsu kaisen written by val (she/her, 25).

carrd | ask memes | verses | headcanons | playlist | interest check | promo credit

rules are also below for ease since i am pinning this post.

SECTION 1. Writing.

I want to write with everyone! Although I prefer multi-para replies, I enjoy having a variety of threads from one-liners and icons to brief responses and long-form text. I am flexible and reciprocate the energy given to me by my writing partner. I enjoy both serious threads and crack. I only ask that you don’t godmod or dictate how my character acts/feels.

Ask memes are always a good way to break the ice, but I am also open to plotting. That can be done via Tumblr IMs or Discord. Your preference, really. Response speed may vary depending on multiple factors, but please note I don’t intend to ghost anyone. I am an adult with a demanding full-time job and a part-time job so it can be a bit hectic on my end. 

In terms of response speed, I may favor my mains or people I’ve interacted with OOC first, as well as plotted threads. These are usually easier for me since I have an idea of how to approach the writing.

 SECTION 2. Selectivity.

Although I say I am semi-selective, I tend to follow back most blogs. That said, there are exceptions. For example, one case I might not follow back is if I observe poor dash hygiene. I don’t really want a super clogged dashboard so I tend not to follow people who have a greater ratio of OOC posts compared to IC. Other things I like are cut posts and new threads for asks. The last two are not dealbreakers, though, but I consider this good dash hygiene.

I am crossover-friendly and OC-friendly. However, I likely won’t follow back unless you have a JJK-specific verse or some sort of bio for your muse. I dislike having to fish for information. I am a bit more hesitant to follow back in these cases, but I can overlook that if I see potential for interaction. 

SECTION 3. IC Dynamics.

I enjoy exploring different dynamics with different characters. Shipping can be romantic, friendly, filial, etc. I love writing with various muses.

That said, I am highly selective about romantic shipping. It will be done on a case-by-case basis. I will only really write shippy content if there is chemistry between the muses (our portrayals) and prior conversations between us OOC discussing the dynamic. All interactions with muses within my muse’s age range are platonic unless stated otherwise. I will never off-the-bat assume there is romance involved between muses unless we have explicitly had a conversation about it. Although I am 25, there will be absolutely no smut. 

In a similar vein, what is said in a thread with another person’s muse does not apply to the canon of our threads unless you have made your muses’ canon clear (i.e. your rules/about cite this connection, you have stated something OOC, etc). If I follow you, assume I have read your rules and bio.

 SECTION 4. OOC Conduct.

All I ask for is kindness and understanding. Always assume the best intentions from others and never yuck anyone’s yum. I work a stressful job and I am here for entertainment. Please don’t bring negativity and other exhausting energy into this space. If there is ever a time I do something that bothers you, please bring it to my attention directly. Also, bear in mind that I am not my character and would prefer to keep a clear distinction between what is IC and what is OOC.

This should go without saying, but if you reuse a plot we crafted together or copy anything I, or anyone else, has done, you may get blocked if it is brought to my attention. It really depends on the severity, or if it is a repeat offense.

 SECTION 5. DNI/Vague Posts.

Don’t come here with bullshit. Don’t follow me if you do a lot of vague posting. If I see it enough times, I will block. We are adults. If you want to say something without the repercussions of saying it, then do it in private or keep it to yourself. If it is that serious, then go talk to that person directly. Communicate like a mature adult.

If there is someone I interact with who is actually problematic or has actually engaged in problematic behavior, dm me in private.

[godbirdart]

first off, i just want to say that i love your art, you are a huge inspiration to me and i love how expressive your characters are! would you have any tips for someone trying to grow a following from their art? specifically within the furry community ideally. im just not sure where to start

i hope youre having a great day!

thank you so much!!

okay i gotta preface this with: i have been doing commissions for over a decade. everything i say here i've been doing since roughly 2014, but my career as an artist didn't really Take Off and become reliable until 2019. success isn't immediate. some artists will grow faster or slower than others, not every tactic is going to apply / work for every artist; and that's okay. just keep pushing yourself and adapting and figuring out what works for You!

i’m putting this under a readmore as it got a bit long. every time someone asks me for advice on professional Anything i always write up a five page essay despite trying to bulletpoint it oof

post on multiple platforms and keep them all updated. i’m putting this one in bold because it is possibly the Most Important thing. we’re all watching twitter sinking over there, and many of my mutuals there were floundering because they hadn’t established themselves on any other social media site. i strongly recommend three or four socials minimum. my main four sites are tumblr, deviantart, twitter and toyhouse. furaffinity is also good. inkblot and artfol are new and i use them frequently as well. if you don’t like posting manually to every site each and every time you post art, Postybirb exists and is what i use to crosspost all my art to most of my socials at once.

avoid venting a lot on main. we all have frustrating days where our art isn’t getting the recognition we hoped, or we’re feeling petty about a controversial topic or the latest drama. it happens! it’s okay! however, many people just don’t like seeing dozens of negative posts on their feed. most people will sympathize, but if your negative vents are constantly clogging their dashboard they’re not gonna stick around.

shamelessly self promote yourself. reblog your own art. retweet it again. repost it. mention your other socials. we live in a world of timezones! when you post art, only a fraction of your audience is going to see it. i recommend reblogging / retweeting one to four individual pieces periodically over the course of a day and change it up each day. you can also repost your own work into photosets and title it “recent commissions” or the something like that.

don’t hide your linktrees and carrds. seriously! the amount of times on twitter i went to try and follow someone on another platform only to find they had no carrd or linktree link,, it is infuriating. put your socials link in your bio or pinned or SOMEWHERE readily at the top of your profile that’s easy to spot.

if you’re offering commissions, make a telegram channel or discord server for your announcements / openings.

post regularly. this one is a lot harder for artists that don’t make a lot of content, but posting even a status update once or twice a day can go a long way - especially if you’re on twitter with that platform’s hideous algorithm. alternatively as i said earlier, just retweet/reblog your work a few times a day and you should be good.

art trends are cool and fun and an easy way to get your work seen by others. see a “draw your sona in this outfit” meme? go, have fun with it. this one’s a bit tricky as timing is everything when it comes to ~trending~ content, so try and draw quick. that said, it’s never outdated to drawover reaction memes with your fursona.

try not to clog your socials with memes and shitposty images. this one is directed at twitter specifically. with twitter moments now gone, your media tab is the last way for people to hope to find your work organically on your profile without having to use the twitter search. they can’t get invested in your work if they can’t find it!

it’s okay to change course if you’re not vibing with where you’re headed. if you want to move onto a new aesthetic - that’s fine! you may lose some followers if they don’t click with your new vibe, but you’ll inevitably gain some new ones.

avoid frequent name changes. so many of the artists i follow have changed their brands / urls over the years that i don’t recognize them anymore.

tag your work properly. on tumblr, the first five tags on the original post are the tags your work will pop up in in the search feature. make those first five tags the Most important ones; example: #furry, #anthro, #art #fursona etc. twitter’s algo seems flip-flop if it likes tags or hates them. if you see a tag trending, repost your art in a photoset with the hashtag in the post [example: if #pokemon is trending, repost some of your pokemon fanart with the hashtag in the post body]. if the tag isn’t trending,,, i’ll be honest it’s a gamble if twitter likes your post or not at that point. i have no advice for that hell algorithm.

hosting raffles or doing a mini art request event [example: “leave a ref and i might draw your oc”] is good for traction while simultaneously giving back to the community + your audience a little!

try and reply to / like comments on your work. it’s not required per se, but it’s good to express gratitude.

engage with other members of the community. comment on other peoples work. like it. retweet it. follow other people. obviously don’t be disingenuous about it, but this is what the professionals call ~networking~

don’t compare yourself to others. this one is one you have got to keep in mind constantly. you’re going to find 17 year olds with huge followings and 30 year olds that are doing professional industry work whose level feels alien and almost out of reach. if you’re not doing as well, don’t let yourself get discouraged. we all gotta start somewhere!

related to the above point: be nice to your followers. venting on main about not having the same audience volume as others can come off as a huge middle finger to the audience you already have.

gaining a following takes time. unless you get a really lucky break, it’s going to take a lot of work and self promotion to build up your brand.

slap your name on everything. i mean it. any art you do - sign it. watermark it. people can and will share art in telegram channels and discord servers, and if the art interests someone they can easily source it back to you if your name is on it.

you can buy adspace. if you’re catering to a furry audience specifically, you can buy adspace on furaffinity pretty easily. inkblot i believe also offers adspace for artists though i haven’t looked too deep into it. this is really a “if you’re okay burning money” situation, as the huge chunkk of internet users have adblockers now and it’s a gamble if people will see or even click on your ad.

just have fun and do your own thing. you can hop on trends and draw art that caters to your audience’s tastes, but don’t forget to draw what YOU want and what YOU’RE about. Draw what makes YOU happy.

hope these help!! ;w;

VELVETTE. penned by Meechi (20+, they/them). est. 07.20.2024. a study in: the relentless pursuit of power, media mogul adoration, parasocial manipulation, protecting one's own, standing firm in the presence of hardship, questioning the place of Heaven and the need for Hell, and what it means to redeem a soul long past forgiveness. CARRD. RULES UNDER READ MORE.

blogroll:

starwonderz (Tenma Tsukasa singlemuse, priority)

roveresonated (Wuthering Waves multimuse, secondary, sideblog to deityleft)

    i. this blog is selective. i only write with my mutuals. i do follow first from time to time ; if you have no interest in writing with me, PLEASE be sure to SOFTBLOCK ME. this also applies for anyone who chooses to unfollow me for whatever reason. i will not take it personally. i want my dash to be a space i can interact and partake in with my mutuals; as such, i'd rather know for certain i can interact with you. as an addition to this rule, i will also only follow blogs that have accessible RULES & INFORMATION. if i am unable to find any on your blog, i may softblock you for a time.

ii. anon is currently on! however, i have the right to turn it off for whatever reason i see fit to. this is a privilege. i ask you not to abuse it.

iii. given the kind of series both Hazbin and Helluva are, nsfw will be frequently mentioned on the blog -- either seriously or humorously. as all the muses are of age, interacting with them in such capacity is alright. i request no one under 18 follow this blog and, if you do, i will hardblock your blog. please do not take that personally; it is for your own safety. for all muns over 18, i am alright with receiving such things, though it will depend on my own personal comfort. feel free to send me such, all the same.

iv. shipping is selective. believe me when i tell you that i love to ship. i love dynamics. however, all my muse relationships are based on chemistry and may even take some time to develop. with the exception of canon relationships, please do not assume any romantic relationships with my muses and, furthermore, no forceshipping. if you want to ship, please communicate with me as i'd love to hear it!

v. proshippers or anyone who affiliates with proshippers, please do not interact with this blog !

vi. au, duplicate, oc, and crossover friendly! please don't be scared to try throwing things my way!

vii. no godmodding, forceshipping, etc. basic etiquette type stuff.

viii. in terms of triggers or tagging, i do not have any of my own. i am squicked / made uncomfortable by mentions of school shootings both in real life and fiction, though, so do be mindful of that. i will be sure to tag anything you need me to, so long as i'm made aware of it. spoilers are tagged automatically. tag formatting looks like this: // spoilers.

ix. i am very, very slow. i get easily distracted, and am often busy with offline demands. i work as a substitute teacher during my days currently, so my work schedule can really fluctuate. i'm also extremely introverted; if you're not someone i've grown close with, conversations can tucker me out and i may drop them at sudden notice. all i ask is for your patience when interacting with me!

addendum: i am making it a practice to clean out my inbox after every two weeks. on Monday nights, i will go through and pick out asks that have overstayed their welcome. please do not take any of this personally. my energy levels for what i'm willing to do fluctuate, and it often makes it harder to write when i feel stressed by the amount i haven't done. this is just a practice i'm using to ensure i don't feel overwhelmed on this blog, thank you!

x. i run on Eastern Standard Time! i tend to be most active in the late afternoon and night hours. i am most frequently on my Tsukasa blog (starwonderz), so if i am not present on here, then i am likely over there!

xi. and most importantly, have fun and let's enjoy writing together!

wow ! there are now officially 2k of you hanging out in clown city USA also known as, my blog <3 in celebration of that and fresh off the heels of my nursing school graduation, i'm having a little raffle for custom creations :D i don't have the capacity to totally open requests, but i'd love to put a lot of love into a project for 3 total winners - for this one you do have to be following me to win and i will check . read below for details, and thanks again for hanging around with me here !

all you need to do to enter is reblog this post with the tag 'entry' -- if you don't wish to enter the raffle, you can rb without that tag or tag as 'boost' so i know not to put you down. i will put entrants into a random generator and select 3 people for your choice of one of the following options:

1- idol + color gifset (such as x / x / x)

2- music video gfx (either a lyric poster such as the ones here, or a specific idol in an mv like x)

3- customized graphic for your header or pinned post

fine print: my usual rules apply, i won't create anything involving controversial idols or eras, and while i am open to working with groups and idols i'm not totally familiar with i do ask that if you win that you try to ask for a group or soloist listed in my carrd for my best work. i will also not make something for a group i have filtered so if you don't see them on my blog ever, chances are i will ask you to choose someone else, but feel free to ask if you are unsure !

i will keep this open for the next day or so, bc i'd like to start working with the winners on their creations asap! no limit on how many times you enter, just make sure you tag with the entry tag or i will not count it. thank u again i love u all MWAH !

[maiverie]

HI DO U HAVE ANY TIPS ON STARTING A TUMBLR BLOG? like how you format your links and everything i'm new and want to start a blog but don't know how 😭😭

hi anon!!! omg sure yes I dooo!!! when I started I didn't have anyone to help me so it was literally such a shitshow lmfao so I HOPE THIS HELPS!!

— (long post below)

disclaimer: this is all based on my experience and im sure there are other users with better tips than me so DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR GOSPEL BAHAHA

(also I'm going to assume you reached out to me because you want to start a kpop writing blog and not smth else, so all these tips are obv specific to writing blogs. I also don't know how experienced u are w Tumblr so I might say some obvious things,, sorry if you already know most of these things!!)

anyway tumblr is actually really intuitive and after about two days I honestly think you'll get it (probably even within a day tbh). here are some quick steps I feel like make sense in my mind:

find a url (if you're starting a kpop writing blog,, most people seem to include the name/a reference to their bias but in my case i kinda just went w my name and played around w it until I liked it 😭 you can also search for "url ideas" in tumblr if you're having trouble!!) keep in mind you can literally change it at any point in time so don't worry about choosing the -perfect- one

set up your blog! most of the time, people have a navigation post (the pinned post where everything is linked so readers can navigate ur blog easily), a masterlist (a post that shows everything you've ever written), a wip list (a post that lists all your works in progress, so fics you're currently writing and want to publish in the near future). additionally, people have a post about themselves (like an about me section with blog rules and stuff. this is my old old one). personally, i have a carrd right now (this is mine here) and you'll find other users have one or the other!

set up your navigation post: hyperlink honestly everyone's different (btw don't worry about taking these tips too seriously bc honestly u should do whatever you want on your blog — it's yours after all!!) but I think most people include their name, pronouns, age (sometimes), timezone (sometimes) and hyperlinks to their masterlist + wip list.

how to hyperlink im sure you've done it before for school, but it's really easy! here's a demonstration — this link will send you to my navi, and this link will send you to one of my fics! to do it, you just need to copy the link of whatever post you're trying to hyperlink (three dots in the top right of the post -> "copy link"), typesomething, double click onto the word you're trying to link it to, tap the 🔗 button, and copy the link into that! (in this example, it'd look like this: something.)

how to make ur navi neat/pretty personally, I used to just search for moodboards (on tumblr) and pick 3 photos that I really liked (obviously give credit to whoever made the moodboard!). what I have now is just something that I designed but you can have one or the other, it doesn't really matter! other tips I think I'd suggest is to keep it as simple as possible; you can embellish it later but make sure it's easy to read and people can see all the links! I really like searching for "symbols" on Tumblr, and then there are cute lil symbols u can add to your post :) or just use emojis! or dashes! this might be a little ahead, but I have a tutorial on gradient text if you really care, but maybe focus on the base first :D just as an example, my moot @.hazyyu has a really pretty navi!

apply the same principles to your masterlist + wip list + about me just search for symbols, add whatever images you think look pretty, search for "line breaks" on Tumblr and there are pictures of links you can use to divide stuff up! making a carrd is easy but time-consuming (just search on YouTube "carrd tutorial")

there are other caveats to a writing blog, but those were just the basics! here are some other things I thought I could mention:

a permanent taglist is a list of people you tag every single time you publish a story/update it (for the purpose of them being notified every time you post) — sometimes people will ask u to "add me to your permanent taglist!" which just means tag them every time you post a story. personally, I have a google form for anyone that wants to be on the permanent taglist, but I didn't do that initially — I used to just wait until people sent in an ask asking to be on it and then I'd have a separate post with everyone who did. for example, this was my old one! doesn't matter whichever approach you do ^^

people also organise their blog via the hashtags I do this too! it's so much easier that way :)) for example, every time I get an ask, I tag it with "#ask" (umm a lot of people are much more creative w their tags but personally icb lmaoo — here's an example of my friend who used a different tag and it's really pretty!). if you want help with organising your blog w tags, here's an explanation I wrote a while back!

if you want help promoting your work, you should consider joining a few networks! these are basically big big blogs that reblog all your work so more people can see ur stuff ^^ here are some of the ones I'm a part of: kflixnet, enhanet, k-labels!

you'll meet other users along the way and call them your moots; most of the time this just means you interact w them a lot via asks/dms. personally I'm not really active and I kinda find it hard to keep track of a lot of moots so I stick to myself and interact w anyone that comes my way!! but bae u can do whatever u want!! go find blogs of people that seem rlly cool and send an ask and just see where it goes; just don't badger people, be nice and I think you'll pick up on sm things naturally!!!

ur blog is gna look great!!! let me know when you finish setting it up!!! I hope this helps 😋💖

you DO know that endos are systems who didnt form from trauma, right? not people claiming to have did/etc. with no trauma. the carrd linked in your dni says endos harm did/etc. communities when they arent even in those communities, and (for the most part, not saying there isnt bad apples) dont target or harrass anyone with did/etc. feel free to not answer this but i just hope you learn to understand the people you hate before you hate them.

This does not include

- those who are groomed into believing their trauma wasn't good enough, those who were denied proper help, Those who are in denial about being a traumagen system, has conflicting disorders that makes it harder to be diagnosed, Etc

This applies to

those who want to be a system, those who want to "try" being a system, those who are wanting any disorders for fame, clout or their personal greed, read more here and here

DIDOSDD is a survival disorder. These posts on my blog are snippets. Do not take these out of context without knowing the full background on this you speak about, you can block me at any given time, I will not be arguing about something that professionals have said is fake. You can try to cancel me or think I'm saying shit out of my ass, I truly and respectfully do not care what others think of me. Especially online.

Feel free to block me if you think I'm just a cunt but truthfully they're not valid unless if the reasonings I gave line up with some of their stories. But don't drown out the ones who wants to be a system or want alters. Not to mention it is ableist. No one should want to be a system or have ANY disorder.

With that out of the way here's my half asleep response;

Yes and no, some people and if not majority of the endo 'systems' claim to be systems. Systems is a term used for DID/OSDD/UDD systems. Im not hating on anyone, that would by definition mean "to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry." I am not being hostile. I am not throwing no one under the bus. I repost posts from others blogs, I share my thoughts. And truthfully someone being endo or "other genic" is not possible.

I can feel differently towards those who actively want this disorder, please before you go in my asks make sure to do proper research and search. Before trying to judge how I feel about things that are scientifically proven to be false. Endos does harm the DIDOSDD community. By not only throwing traumagenic systems under the bus or trying to shun their voices away to fit the endo's narrative but also giving out misinformation. This does not outshine that some endos can be groomed into thinking they are an endo system but in factuality they can be a traumagenic system, thinking their trauma wasn't enough to be a system.

And in your own words and I quote "endo's are systems who didn't form from trauma." You're right some of them didn't. Which means they're invalid. Also how am I harassing others when I do not go in dms, i rarely if not ever go in someone's asks unless if it's about hyperfixations (that was only one person and one time. I saw they liked psychology and so do I) so your story is not adding up, it is trying to paint me as a terrible person who goes and harasses others. Please for the love of god get the full context, don't assume anything about me or put up lies about me. Especially saying I hate xyz. No. No I do not. You aren't me and I aren't you. So until you can tell me what exactly I feel or do in a daily do not try and write a narrative about me. Without proper reasoning, context, research, and context clues. As well as your own personal biases out of the story, pin point where I said and done what, send proof and actually think before making any lies about me. Thank you, next.
