Hello, welcome to my blog! Where I draw often and ramble about my characters. Please know and respect that I have hyper-fixations, and may change what I'm interested in.

CHRONO LINKS:

If it was done correctly, THIS should be the main body of the story in one Chrono link.

General:

My Artworks

Comics (Mostly Non-ask)

Relating to the Original Mewtwo (Nicodemus)

Specific Story Focuses (Sorted Chronologically):

Lab Arc (HEAVY SUBJECT MATTER and IMPLIED DEATH WARNING toward the end!))

Pregnancy with the Twins

Midas and Monique

Lav and Mewtwo Meeting

Jerry

By Lavender's Hand (Randy's "Ghostification"--DEATH WARNING toward the end!)

Side blog dedicated to Nico and Jovie's story

Pokemon IRL Side Blog meant as a Slice of Life blog run by my Trainer, Jamie Wild Rennard.

Please read THIS If you're lost on their relations,and THIS for a rundown of Randall's situation.

My ToyHouse Characters page, where you can look at my characters' profiles! (A lot of stuff is a work in progress.) Names below also link to their specific pages.

My blog is home to the story Linden Roots. Randall Linden was once human, but through a horrific mishap, his memories were taken in by his friend, a Mew named Mo. Mo, having his own memories overwritten by Randy's, now lives Randy's life in his place.

Randy lives in Paldea with his shiny Mew Mate/Wife Akoya, her Mewtwo daughter Lavender, their twin Mew children Momo and Midas, and Akoya's half-brother Persim. Others in the household include Sulfur the shiny Lucario, Linda the shiny Roserade, Tol the shiny Chimecho, and Jerry the Pichu.

While he and his family are generally friendly and open to questions, Randy is sensitive about the events surrounding him becoming a Mew.

I do want to warn that this story touches on heavy and potentially uncomfortable subjects. I appreciate interaction, but please respect my artistic decisions. Thank you!

If you'd like to read the story of getting Akoya IRL, click here.

Voice Claims with samples here if anyone's interested. :3

This project is meant to be for fun, primarily my own. I will not be able to answer every question, and will prioritize the ones I find most fun, interesting, or an immediate concern. (Or, on some occasions, use answers as foreshadowing :3)

If anyone's interested, I also have a Twitter and a DeviantART, though I haven't been very active on them recently.

Because people have asked me before, I currently have no interest in doing commissions.

The mod's 'sona/s:

NOTE: Randy has now transformed into his new look, so the old refs are largely obsolete. (Human form is physically the same except for his head.)

I plan to make some new, up-to-date refs for EVERYONE come 2024, but for now I'll throw in some makeshift refs for his new look.

[officialweezerelections]

I hear u want to hear about WEIRD ANIMALS yes?

Well have i got a WEIRD ANIMAL for you!!

(i know u know about this cause. Its a bird. And also was in the bracket if i remember right (to be fair ive been just a TAD confused as to wich bird poll blog this is ever since u changed ur url lol), but i dunno maybe i can give u some new info! And maybe not, but hopefylly you'll put up with me anyway!)

I give you-

(Drumroll please..)

The

BEARDED

VULTURE!!!!!!

Anyway this is my FAVORITE. BIRD. And more people need to talk about her!!!!

So first of all there's the main thing they're known for - being the ONLY known vertabrate whose diet consists mainly (between 70 and 90 PERCENT!!!!!!) of BONE!!!!!!

ALSO however! This bird is POSSIBLE evidence of non-human animal using COSMETICS!!!! Y'see, they are naturally mostly white in coloration, but they roll in iron-rich mud and dust, thus dyeing their feathers a rich red color! Interestingly, Bearded Vultures, a primarily solitary and somewhat territorial animal, seem to be more respectful of and submissive to others of their species who have more red to their feathers. Though it is worth noting, as these birds live in very high altitudes, that we havent been able to observe them in the wild enough to prove the connection between dyed hue and perceived dominance.

Also i seem to remember in some poll (genuinely cant remember if it was urs or not) the Bearded Vulture was beat by a bird whose main notable trait was commiting fratricide - something that the Bearded Vulture ALSO does! The mother lays two eggs, one egg hatches about a week before the other, and upon the second egg hatching one chick (almost always the older one) kills and eats the other. I dont usually share that bit cause it would turn a lot of folks off from my Favorite Bird Ever but it really bothered me how that poll went down lol (lighthearted) (not actually mad)

Anyway, uuuuhhhh i think thats it -

-WAIT!!!!! I just remembered something else about them!!!!!

So they eat bones right? And some bones are to big to swallow yeah? So, like any strong-legged bird would, they pick up the too-big bones, fly way up high, and then drop them on rocks to break them into edible peices.

Seems pretty normal yeah?

Well (allegedly) they also do that to turtles/turtles to access the meat on rare occasion.

Still not that weird? I completely agree!

However, (allegedly) a Bearded Vulture once killed a greek playwright by the name of Aeschylus by mistaking his bald head for a rock and dropping a tortoise on it from a great height!

Anyway yeah thats all the main things

Except you know, for their apearance

(Why are their EYES like that? Ive tried to look it up but cant find anything. Some of the PRETTIEST (round-pupiled) eyes in the animal kingdom tho, no question)

Anyways yeah, sorry if this is all stuff u already knew, but, uh. YEAH!!!

Thanks for letting me rant about my funky lil guy!!!

I DID KNOW ALL OF THIS ALREADY BUT I LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND I LOVED READING ALL OF IT AGAIN!!! Bearded vultures are so darn pretty. Also you can be genuinely bothered with how a poll went down, I’m still a bit upset with the results of my first bracket. (final girl showdown) 😔

I keep thinking of things I could add on but you’ve pretty much said it all! I guess I could say that the bearded vulture is a card in Inscryption? The power is equal to one half of the player’s bones. I like that little detail.

[urfaveisroma]

Welcome to urfaveisroma <3 I saved this url out of spite, and if that's not pen then I don't know what is. This blog is primarily for celebrating and discussing Romani characters in comics, but I take submissions for Romani characters in other mediums and headcanon submissions, so long as they are appropriate.

তততততততততততততততততততত

Here are some basic rules and principles to follow. Failure to respect these rules and principles will earn you a block, so be mindful-

· If nai tu san gypsy then be quiet for the sake of devla [ie: gadje (non-roma) can follow and reblog my posts, but if you're going to be weird and racist, go away]. I do not strictly mind submissions/asks from gadje, but if you cannot be respectful, and if I find your submission/ask to be purposefully offensive, you WILL be blocked.

· Do not pester me with questions about Romani culture. Friends may come to me in private, but I do not feel comfortable answering to strangers on the internet. For one, it makes me uncomfortable because our culture is closed. For another, I am not an authority on Romani culture in every vitze and in every corner of the earth. We are not a monolith. If I feel the want or need to volunteer certain information to clear up misconceptions, I will.

· We use media literacy and critical analysis here, sir. Please do not come in my inbox and tell me a Romani comic character should not be Roma because they have been written stereotypically from time to time, especially if you aren't Romani. The fact of the matter is that characters of color across the board have been subject to racist and stereotypical writing on occasion. I do not advocate for the erasure of Romani characters' racial identities, just like I do not advocate for the erasure of any other nonwhite characters' racial identities. I advocate for the involvement of Romani writers, artists, consults, and sensitivity readers in the creative process for Romani characters in comics. I advocate for positive change, not negative change, and erasing what little representation we have in media is 100% a negative change.

All that being said, I’m not going to jump you if you make a misstep. Please don’t be afraid to send asks and chat with me because you’re worried you might say something wrong. If I feel that the mistake was made in good faith then I will correct it in good faith.

তততততততততততততততততততত

Some basic information about me:

I am a multiracial American Rom. My pronouns are he/him. I have not decided if I want to be public about who I am on this blog because I have been racially harrassed many times over for discussing Romani characters online, therefore I think maintaining some separation and anonymity on this blog will be beneficial for my mental health. If you must refer to me at all, you can call me chavo or Vic (yeah yeah kinnie moment, blah blah).

My favorite Romani characters in comics are Dick Grayson, the Maximoff twins, and (as you may have noticed) Victor von Doom- which...is basically every major racially Romani character in comics. I am very attached to them, so I love to be sent submissions/asks/posts relating to them!

তততততততততততততততততততত

That's all for now folks ;)

[acollectionofalpacas]

hello! pinning this post for those coming across this blog. 

if you are looking for the previous direction of this url, please go to @rabbit-ina-trenchcoat! i recently changed it and am using this blog as a way to post some of my works! with that out of the way:

my name is lex or chris! you may use either for me, i have no preference.

my pronouns are he/him and xe/xer primarily, but i also use it/its.

i mostly write fanfictions about superman! mostly the snyderverse, because that happens to be my special interest.

i am also currently writing for 2001: a space odyssey, kim possible, and more. 

i do my best to appropriately tag my posts and my fics, but it can be difficult for me due to just. well im extremely forgetful. if you have a recommendation for a tag please let me know!

i have dyslexia! so there might be grammatical errors in stuff i write. i dont really like to edit my writing and i will not be taking criticism for such.

at this time i am not taking requests because i am about to start the school year, but once i get back into the groove i should be able to.

i hope you enjoy what you see if you stop by! my works can be found on ao3 (@/CatKidJekyll) and quotev (@/venomoussnake. also i am currently redirecting a lot of my quotev stuff so it might not be available when you come across this <3!)

[somerabbitholes]

hello! hope the rainy weather is treating you well.

if you're comfortable sharing - when you look back at the community you've built in the last few years, on tumblr/instagram/substack, how has it influenced you as a person (if it has)? did you face any burnouts while maintaining all of it?

also, any tips for someone wanting to start a substack but are holding themselves back because new things are scary?

have a good day!

Hello! I'm sorry I'm getting back to you so late, but I kept thinking about this and then life took over and I didn't know how to think about this. But I think have something for you now.

First off, thank you for calling it a community. I do like to think I've built a space for myself, and I'm always so touched by how everyone has responded to it. I also particularly like that whatever I do is primarily built on a Tumblr space, which has let me curate my internet experience in ways no other social media has.

I think ages ago I spoke in another context about how studyblr as a community makes me unreasonably happy because it's just a bunch of nerds who enjoy studying and academia, and that's really it. I probably would've ended up in academia either way, but it's so, so comforting to know there's a network of people also interested in academia, and especially history. I've made friends with people through here and through the instagram, and that's always been so great.

And then since about a year, this has stopped being a study blog and is a much more freewheeling space for whatever it is I'm doing or reading, and that has also been a lovely transition to live through. (More so, with the URL change). This has also been time when I've been working out ways to decide what life is, and this has been a nice drawing board of sorts.

On burnouts, yes, absolutely. Or maybe less burnouts but just needing some space. And I think that's okay, the tumblr, the instagram, all of it, they exist insofar as I want them to — and if on some days I don't, then I don't.

About starting a substack, just start. I went back and forth on mine for nearly a year before I actually started, and it took off only after I did start. I understand that it's scary, but nothing of what you do with it is set in stone: you can always switch things up. But you'll never know what you want it to be until you've begun :)

[objectosexual]

hey gamers, this blog is a huge WIP (and i might change the URL... we'll see) but for a basic intro/pinned post...

my name is carson, im in my late 20's, im gay and objecto. im also trans and use he/it pronouns

my main blog is @clippy + my selfship blog is @ohgodimyearning... consider this blog to be a companion to the latter (most of my F/O's are objects)

i also have a locked NSFW twitter account with similar content that can be found here (you will need to send a follow req to it tho, sorry!) -- keep in mind that it 1) doubles as a vent account and 2) does have NSFW images

this will also be a general animism/POSIC+ blog, tho please keep in mind that i primarily view those things through a lens of being romantically and sexually interested in objects... that isnt to say i want to fuck every object i view as having a soul, but wanting to fuck objects has essentially made me... aware of it, i guess. (that and im autistic so i've always had weird hyper-empathy toward objects)

my literal first crush ever was on Herbie (the VW beetle) so i have a huge soft spot for cars, but i also like other vehicles/modes of transit, robots/computers, toys, roller coasters, and buildings

i also like objectheads and i know those arent inherently an objecto/posic thing, the main one i care about is Cl*ckboy, whose design helps me Process my feelings for the real life object he is based on

^ i will go more in depth about this sort of thing in the future (i think explaining my "journey" with this part of my sexuality will help others who are "questioning" -- i used to talk CONSTANTLY about wanting to kiss cars on main and i've had ppl tell me i helped them connect the dots so. lol) but i currently am fighting w my body for energy so dont expect it soon...

THIS BLOG IS AN 18+ SPACE, MINORS PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW!

I will block people with no ages in their bio (unless i already know you)! While i will not be sharing mature images, i will 100% be sharing sexually explicit/suggestive/etc text posts.

if i interacted with your post, and you're a minor or don't want NSFW blogs interacting with you, please let me know and/or block me! i wont take offense to you asking me to delete a reblog or being blocked. everyone's comfort is my priority, and i do my best to screen OP's of posts before reblogging to my sideblogs but sometimes i forget/miss things

anyway i think that's all for now...? i will start reblogging things here ASAP i think, but just know im kinda working behind the scenes and probably wont make many, if any, original posts until im a little more settled here

what does your URL mean, and why did you choose it?what is your blog or graphic aesthetic or motif? why?what fandom do you primarily favour?what genre do you primarily favour?what are your top five fandoms to RP within?what are you top five universes to RP within?what universe have you never even considered writing in, and why?

𝒂 𝒎𝒖𝒏 𝒂𝒔𝒌. 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐩𝐜.

what does your URL mean, and why did you choose it?

I liked Nikki Flores' music and heard the song during one of Kendall's solos on Dance Moms way back when, and I thought it fit a handful of my characters. My muses are pretty with tragic backstories in one way or another, hence the fact that they're all pretty tragedies. I've wanted to change it a few times over the years, but I'm too lazy to update everything, and I don't do well with change anyway, so prettytragcdies I shall stay, I guess.

what is your blog or graphic aesthetic or motif? why?

Honestly, I don't really have an aesthetic. I'm here to hone my creative writing skills and create stories that give myself and others all the feels. I couldn't care less about what blogs look like, as long as you can see, read, and locate everything clearly. I do prefer 100x100 icons and small text, though, if that counts for anything.

what fandom do you primarily favour?

Ha, have you met me? I prefer DALLAS over any other fandom out there, always and forever. It's my favorite television show of all time, my comfort show, etc. I love it so much.

what genre do you primarily favour?

I prefer angst most of all tbh. If it's an intriguing plot, some flangst can be pretty fun as well. Bonus points if the angst has to do with a pair of divorced exes or is between family members.

what are your top five fandoms to RP within?

Ha, pretty much a plethora of shows from the 1980's that like maybe three other people around here have actually seen. But yeah, DALLAS is definitely number one, no questions asked. Second would probably have to be 9-1-1, and third would be One Chicago. Fourth would be General Hospital, which I should probably just say soap operas in general. Fifth would be Grey's Anatomy, I guess. This would change greatly if there were actually people to write with in the ones I ultimately love the most, but I'll keep dreaming.

what are you top five universes to RP within?

I don't undstand how universes differ from fandoms, so until someone can stop by and properly explain this to me, I'm just going to say see the above answer. Oops.

what universe have you never even considered writing in, and why?

To be honest, I've never considered writing in the horror universe. Those type of movies and television shows simply don't interest me, unless someone I really love is in them. Like, Bonnie Bedelia in Needful Things. That movie wasn't scary at all. It was just gross in a couple of parts. But yeah, I digress.

[hongism]

update;

tldr: all i’ll be writing on this blog moving forward is mists of celeste. if that’s all you want to know about the status of both me and this blog, then you can stop reading here! i won’t be offended or bothered if that’s all you want to know!

however if you’re interested in a more in-depth explanation as to why i came to this decision then you’re welcome to keep reading to understand where i’m at.

why am i doing this?

there are multiple layers to why i’m taking this step. first off this is not a goodbye, as much as i’m sure many people are expecting that with how often i’ve been absent from this blog this year alone. one, i made a promise to myself when i very first started this blog almost 4 years ago that i would deactivate once i reached a certain milestone. since then, i’ve chosen not to deactivate and i think i will always leave this blog up as an archive even when the day comes where i will not be here or be posting anything here. i also have hopes and goals to finish mists of celeste and i think i will hit that milestone before i finish the story (maybe not anymore but, that’s beside the point). 

two, with being so close to such a significant milestone, i think there are certain expectations i have regarding my fics and the success of those fics. frankly, almost 90% of my following came from when i started writing for a.tz/s.kz, not b.ts. so it isn’t a disconnect in what people followed me for because i haven’t been writing for b.ts for several years by now. but even so, my fics still don’t do well. the reblogs mostly come from me, the feedback mostly comes from people who read from me regularly or mutuals, and the ratio of likes to reblogs is a never-ending issue that is never going to change. i’m grateful for anyone who stops to read and leave feedback on my works, and i am especially grateful to anyone who stops to read and leave feedback on my works that are not mists of celeste. and now with tumblr mucking up the tag system and preventing my works from being shown in the tags even when i do everything recommended, my works are going out to an even smaller audience that is not even 1% of my follower count. even with atinyblr being slow these days, i see other writers doing well and getting 500-1000+ notes with apparent ease compared to what i see on my own works. 

the shift in interest in the community has also affected me a lot. people are less likely to read a 10k+ fic that has plot mixed in with smut compared to a 1-2k pwp smut fic, which is fine. but that isn’t what i enjoy writing. and i understand that over time, i have lost the audience i used to have when it comes to writing that stuff. even for moc, barely anyone on the taglist i run with every update reads the updates. it’s an upsetting reality for me as the writer because i see my follower count go up and up yet my interaction and notes go down and down. which is primarily why i don’t like being here anymore to be frank. i have my friends from here but i talk to them off tumblr so i don’t feel a need or a compulsion to be here to talk to friends. i know that whatever i post won’t be received the way i wish for it to be received. and i now have this lingering fear that anytime i post anything at all tumblr will decide it shouldn’t show in tags at all.

and three, people are still dragging up things that happened in the past that i have tried so hard to move away from and want nothing to do with anymore. and belatedly, as much as i changed my url at the time, i realize that i won’t ever be able to fully distance myself from being involved in that in the past as long as i am calypso, hongism. i really hate that because i’ve had to come to terms with a lot of the bad things i suffered here on this website and in my real life relationships that were public here on tumblr, but i will always be known for my association with those things in a negative light.

what about your other series?

i won’t be writing them anymore! i appreciate all the love and affection given to them but frankly after blood masquerade i came to the realization that even if there are a lot of people interested in an idea, they aren’t all going to be interested in the final product. the ratio of votes to even likes on the fic itself was so grossly skewed that i found myself both baffled and discouraged to even continue writing it. aka; why am i putting so much heart and soul into something and not seeing an outcome that is balanced or fair? it wasn’t even an insignificant difference but rather something close to a 50+ difference in notes and votes.

will you ever change your mind?

maybe? maybe not? probably not. at some point in the distant future i might find myself wanting to go back to ideas that i had, like the wooyoung and san series i had planned for october this year but right now i have such a dismal and bad relationship with this blog in general that i don’t even want to think about posting anything here.

and one more note regarding moc:

i think i’m done writing interims. there has always been a disconnect in the readers of the main chapters versus readers of the interims, and i’ve always known that would be the case, but it is greatly disheartening as the writer to see such a divide on the work that i put my heart and soul into. so for now moving forward i just want to do main chapters and nothing else unless i feel so in love with an idea that i just have to put it out there.

overall i understand that this post as a whole is very moody and emotional and negative but i hope you all understand that this has been something i’ve been struggling with for the better part of a year here on this blog. i feel a disconnect and i feel no way to grab the ropes and tie myself back here the way i used to be here. even looking at other writers who have come up into the scene on atinyblr, i feel very lacking as a writer and i also feel a disconnect from them because i’m a writer who has been around here since 2020. it’s dumb to say that i feel ostracized in any sort of way but i do feel a bit distant, and i understand that in my attempts to curate a corner for myself on the internet, i created a very specific niche for myself in mists of celeste. i have always said that that is my magnum opus, and i still believe that to be the case. and at risk of sounding horribly arrogant, i feel i’ve isolated myself on an island that is mists of celeste and any time i try to broaden my horizons to do something outside of moc, it’s destined to fail. so for the sake of my mental well-being i need to step back and dedicate hongism to mists of celeste so that i can curb any expectations i might have had about other projects i wanted to do. 

so no, it’s not a goodbye, just a note that i’m slowing down and that the only thing i’ll be presenting to you all here on hongism moving forward is mists of celeste. it’s something that’s said a lot but it’s not something that i admitted myself until recently, but having come back multiple times this year with this mentality of ‘if i just push myself through this then it’ll be fine’, i now realize that if i don’t care for myself then how can i expect anyone else to care about me either? and i think i need to do this to care for myself and have a better mentality about my presence here.

[wip]

i have a couple questions about the newly announced but not yet implemented change where blogs with the default theme will have their URLs changed from [username] dot Tumblr dot com to Tumblr dot com / [username], basically making them dashboard only unless the owner of the blog toggles it off. (Might be important to note I use Tumblr primarily through Firefox on Android, so I normally have a desktop view instead of a mobile view.)

1. Will this effect the archive function in any way? (I.e. will I still be able to go to [username] dot Tumblr dot com / archive, if I click on a post within the archive will it take me to dashboard view or the original view, etc.)

2. When this change is implemented, will there be an option to not be redirected to dashboard view for blogs I do not own? This could also have an "always view is dashboard mode" toggle as well, which some people might like

The first question is very important for me because I go through a lot of very inactive blogs via their archives to find old fanart and fanfiction, and not being able to view the posts on blog and instead being forced to view it in the dashboard, because the blog owner doesn't use the blog or possibly even Tumblr anymore and therefore won't toggle the change off, would make my "blog crawling" very very infuriating.

Answer: Hey, @zackofcards!

To answer your first question: no, archives will continue to work as they currently do. Even if a blog has the “Enable custom theme” toggle flipped off, there are a couple of places where we won’t redirect the {blogname}.tumblr.com traffic, and the blog’s archive page is one of them. The submission page is another since there’s no way to submit posts from within Tumblr’s web app (yet).

It’s a different story if the blog has the “Hide {blogname}” toggle flipped on, but this is a separate privacy setting that is always off by default. Blog archives have been unavailable for these blogs for many years, though we hope to fix this soon!

As for your second question: also no, we’re afraid. If a blog has “Enable custom theme” disabled, you cannot choose to view it with a theme. I would hope that this isn’t too controversial, given that you already couldn’t choose to view a blog with a different theme than it has installed – for example, as much as I would love to see the Staff blog using Vision, I’m not in charge of choosing which theme the Staff blog uses, so I can only imagine it.

Hopefully, this information puts your fears to rest. We’ve been very careful about implementing this change, thinking about little things like this and trying not to break anything. The change is out to everyone now, so if you find anything that we missed, please send a support ticket to let us know ASAP!

↬ the most un-lan to ever lan

ru – ‘98 liner – western european – lan jingyi enthusiast

i first got introduced to mdzs when netflix asked me if i wanted to watch a historical chinese drama about two swordfighting gays, and ever since it’s been a wild ride. it took me about a month to finish cql and then i immediately started reading the novel, which i finished just three days before new years. i couldn’t stop thinking about mdzs and eventually i caved and made my mdzs sideblog (under the url lanzhanis) in february of 2020. this was a month or so after i first picked up giffing and i didn’t really start giffing for cql until april as i was primarily focused on making kpop gifs on my main blog. but there wasn’t a lot of cql content on my dashboard and i wanted to change that. i initially searched for a mdzs related network but i couldn’t find anything so eventually i said fuck it and started mdzsnet on april 13th, 2020. through the network i have met an abundance of wonderful people, especially my two co-admins hope and hanyi. running the network has been a comforting constant in my life and it gives me great joy to see so many people started connecting with each other because of it.

other danmeis i have read include tgcf (my url is based on a popular side ship from this novel), svsss, 2ha, tbc, and fake slackers. there’s a lot of danmeis on my to read list (spl, golden stage, modu, yuwu, tattoo, guardian, etc.) and i’m currently reading guide at how to fail at online dating!

outside of danmei i am also a kpop and anime fan. my ult kpop group is stray kids and my ult bias is lee know, if you’re interested you can catch me screaming about them 24/7 over at @minhho. as for anime, you can find me over at @nangojo. some of my all time favorite animes include sk8, jjk, given, yoi, banana fish, and aot.

you can check out my carrd or find me on twitter. i also (try to) write fics on archiveofourown! (i have a lot of fengqing and some wangxian fics in my drafts but i haven’t gotten around to finishing any of them)

fun facts

i am trying to drag my three irl friends who are all kpop stans into the danmei hellhole but so far i have not yet succeeded (one day i will)

i decided to rewatch cql when i saw a girl with a wangxian totebag at a day6 concert and it blew my mind

i have a fic recs page on which there’s currently 39 wangxian fics which you all should read

the reason i chose lan jingyi for this introduction post is not only because he’s my favorite mdzs character, but because i feel like i found my family on here just like lan jingyi did with the other juniors and the twin jades

i chose a rainbow flag color layout because as a pan-ace i’m part of the lgbtq+ community and i have a strong feeling our dear boy lan jingyi is as well

[pastel-cryptids]

Lowkey thinking about making a separate art blog bc a majority of my followers are most likely here for the stuff I reblog (Which isn't a bad thing btw! Just something I noticed). It'd probably make it easier for ppl who just want to see my art??? Which is rather presumptuous of me bc I don't think I have that big of an art following BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT. Idk I have an art tag but I don't post enough art for ppl to primarily be following me for art — just having my latest piece pinned doesn't help.

The only thing holding me back is that I would change the url of this blog so that my art blog can have pastel-cryptids and ugh!!! That feels so wrong!!! But I want pastel-cryptids to be the "professional" title for my art,,, blogs??? Whatever??? So it's,,,, u g h.

Feel free to weigh in O_O

「RULES」

—— here you will find my rules. i'll try to keep them brief and kindly ask you like this if you read it, but otherwise don’t interact with this post, thank you. rest assured that i always read my moots rules before following and that i fully expect the same courtesy. should any doubts arise regarding my rules, feel free to ask me anything you wanna know about them

( LAST UPDATE: august 24th )

「THE MUN」

NOXTROMUN, THEY/THEM, 21+, BRAZILIAN

although i'm super shy, i try to be as friendly as i can. i don't follow for follow so rest assured that if i follow you, i have read your rules and want to write with you. i have no triggers nor squicks, except drama in the dash - for that reason, i don't engage in callout posts and/or witch hunts and, if you do on a constant basis, i might have to hard block you for my own peace of mind. while i know i may come off too strong or harsh, that is not the case and i'll always be open to talking things out privately; as long as you are civil, so am i. needless to say that any and every form of hate will be deleted and blocked (or sometimes mocked, if i'm feeling cocky...). english is NOT my first language, therefore i will very likely make mistakes/typos, please be aware of that.

「THE BLOG」

NOTDRIFTING: INDIE AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING; NOT MINOR FRIENDLY AND HIGHLY SELECTIVE & PRIVATE MULTIFANDOM MULTIMUSE

primarily run on a low activity/effort pace with slow speed. my muse list changes a lot and depends on what i'm into at the moment, please bear with me. as mentioned before, this is a drama free zone — therefore do realise that MUN ≠ MUSES and, obviously, WRITING ≠ CONDONING !! my blog is my safe space just as your blog is yours - you are responsible for your own internet experience just as i am responsible for mine. should anything here annoy/trigger/squick you, i strongly advise you to block me & refrain from writing with me — your mental health is more important than rp. on that note, please do not softblock me if thats the case, just hardblock — i find it annoying as i forget and end up following again by accident.

「THE TRIGGERS」

TRIGGER HEAVY, PROPERLY TAGGED BUT TAKING NO CRAP

i usually write for trigger heavy fandoms (asoiaf, kingdom & others) and may incorporate some of it into my writing, muses' backgrounds and overall characterization, everything properly tagged so you can avoid it with xkit or other extensions available for tumblr for free. if that's an issue for you, perhaps my blog isn't for you. i try to tag everything, however if you need an specific tag do let me know and i'll make one for you (something like: "[MUN NAME] don't look" or similar). be aware that there may be mentions of death, gore, violence, consanguinamory/endogamy (asoiaf: lannisters and targaryens | naruto: kekkei genkai clans like the hyuga and uchiha), rape (kingdom: ashin's backstory and asoiaf as a whole, though it obviously won't be written) and cannibalism (hannibal and kingdom), as well as unhealthy relationships and dynamics alongside with powerplay and other bad behaviours. it's obvious but necessary to say that while i reserve the right to write/mention these problematic and toxic topics, i as the mun do not approve/support or condone any of these actions or behaviours — i merely am capable of separating fiction from reality. as long as everything is properly tagged, under read more and with mutual consent of all adults/parts involved, i support the right of consenting adults exploring dark fictional topics in a safe and fictional environment with other like minded people. remember, random people on the internet aren't entitled to know your traumas and how you cope with them, be considerate.

「THE INTERACTIONS」

OC/DUPLICATE/MULTIMUSE/CANON DIVERGENT FRIENDLY.

as far as interactions go, i always tag the url of the moot i'm writing with as well as potential triggers (if necessary) that occur on the thread. my tagging system is simple: i tag triggers as "tw; x" and content warnings (such as images) as "cw; x". sometimes i give titles to threads just to organize myself. you can further see how my tags work by taking a look at my tag dump post, just search ‘tag dump’ on my blog and you will find the most recent one i’m using. i shitpost a lot and talk oocly constantly, but you can blacklist my ooc and shitpost tag if you want. i love talking with my moots, but it's overwhelming sometimes. also? when i'm doing drafts, i usually don't chat much bc it makes me lose focus. i am slow and don't like to be rushed, so please be patient - i'll never pressure you for replies and expect the same curtesy in return. this is a new addition but if i ever so catch you vaguing about me or keeping a ‘woe is me’ attitude in order to manipulate people - or especifically me - into writing with you be aware that that will count as a strike ( and i have a strict baseball policy regarding that:  three strikes and you’re out ) and it will most likely make me not want to write with you. also ? if i happen to spot any form of fetishistic behaviour as a driven force to a rp blog and if it makes me uncomfortable i will most likely not follow/write with at all - while i am an adult and have no issues with nsfw stuff, i am not a willing participant in any form of fetishes and would like to remain like so thank you very much. you are free to do whatever the hell you want on your blog, no judging here, and i am free to do the same with mine - pushing fetishes on other people is also another form to get a strike here. i’m going to admit that i don’t really like or feel comfortable with those fandoms whose art style is mainly the wrongly called calarts ( which nowadays is known as the art style with the bean mouth; noodly arm that’s become mandatory in american cartoons ever since 2010 ) and thus won’t feel inclined to write with characters from or with fcs that use this art style - if we click however, i’d be more than happy to write iconless rps.  plotting wise, i prefer to just wing it with only a faint idea of where to take the thread, but i'm cool with anything. on an important note: please be considerate when formatting your replies, i have a bad eyesight and if i can't read it, i won't bother with it. my muses ramble a lot, but you don't have the match the length - just give me something to work with. on that note this also goes to plotting, please at least try — nobody likes to try and plot with a door. i make most of my graphics, and if we write together chances are that i'll make edits/tag you in stuff so lmk if you don't like it and i'll stop.

「THE FLEET」

MOSTLY BI/PAN MUSES, MULTISHIP AND MULTIVERSE, SMUT FRIENDLY

although i love my ships as the next person (and practice self indulgent shipping), i like them to be devices to move the plot/dynamics/muses forward. however, just because i ship certain pairings, don't presume that my characters are approaching yours with second intentions. most of the time, i like to reblog those relationship memes so anyone interested can send them in and we can talk about it (either that or just sending me a message). as mentioned before, there will be some triggering content here, ship wise as well (the lannisters, for example t.ywin/j.oana and c.ersei/j.aime, and the potential inter clan ships as well, especially the ones who have kekkei genkais that they want to keep within the clan), they may be reblogged/mentioned from time to time and/or be played with trusted friends — but will be tagged so can be blacklisted and avoided at will.

quick note about some my characters in specific:

my j*ime is and always will be in love with c*rsei — like it or not that is a core detail of his character and i do hc he is her valonqar ( which makes the betrayal way more painful ), therefore i wont write anything romantic with other muses with my jaime, and yes that includes briennes ( i personally do not ship br*ime either so 🤷‍♂️) and major trigger warnings apply;

similarly, my t*win’s one true love was j*anna — however, contrary to the previous case i am willing to write shippy stuff as long as they go along the lines of ‘he marries again since he needs more heirs bc he doesnt wanna leave casterly rock to t*rion’, as it is trigger warnings apply and do expect heavily triggering hateful things from him ( especially about his youngest son ) because he is a deplorable man;

general trigger warning regarding consanguinamory and endogamy around my targaryen muses because…they are targaryen and thats kinda their thing??? i cant believe that at this point ( since we all know the source material ) i have to point this out but it is better if i do. anyway, major triggering warnings apply;

while i tend to lean more on the books canon, i did like the show addition of t*rmund being fascinated/attracted for br*enne — especially considering it makes perfect sense for who he is and what values are deemed useful and sought after in the freefolk culture ( skilled warriors and strong, capable, women ) which goes against what most southerners ( or anyone from the other side of the wall from him ) is looking for and as such, i write in this fascination in my interactions. he will not be interested in the traditional ladies;

my alc*na is not shipping based — while i get the appeal ( and even joke that she is a ‘tall vampire mommy’ ) and all that, if your muse is a woman in her service she will see you as nothing but the help or as a food supply;

i write my j*raiya still in love with ts*nade — regardless the verse, yet there may be some shippy interactions for him, though ooc plotting must come in first given his lewd nature;

my j*raiya also has a love-hate relationship with or*chimaru, it is both romantic and platonic and i keep this in my portrayal.

i ship d*ctor x d*nna both platonically and romantically — i dont know why tf people act like its such a war crime to do so but i am just letting it be known here. by default i write them as best friends, and i do not write them having any sibling relationship of the sort;

none of my d*ctors will ever be shipped with r*se t*lers or cl*ara osw*alds ( or any of the far too many versions of that character ), and i do reserve the right to decline interactions with these muses. nothing against the muns or the ships but its a personal preference of mine since i do not like these characters.

most of my muses are either bi or pan, those who are not will be specified. don’t be afraid to reach out to me for shipping right off the bat, honesty is always a good policy though some plotting might be needed to see if there's chemistry.

as an adult, my blog is smut friendly and heavily partakes in sexual sunday/sinday because some of my muses are lewd in nature.

「THE FINAL NOTES」

GENERAL RP ETIQUETTE APPLIES, CREDITS AND THANK YOUS

lastly, but not least, general rp etiquette applies on my blog: no godmodding, forced ships, etc, etc... there's only one thing that truly makes me mad and it's when people don't read my rules - i always find out and have no issues on blocking like it's hot. other than reading your rules before following, i also skim them before sending memes in just in case. i'm not so hot on the single shipping ordeal and feel weirded out about someone forcing me to pick who i'm going to interact with due to their DNI's - it's a case by case thing, i'll try to find out the extent of the issue and figure out if it is plausible to me to follow or not. while it is extremely important to spread awareness about real predators, if it is something seemingly random or rooted on shipping/character bias, i won't be interested in interacting with you. also?? personals please DO NOT reblog my rps if you are not part of them?? this will get you blocked. i have some trigger heavy hcs (for example ashin's traumatic life at the mercy of officials and the root behind jiraiya's hypersexuality being a childhood trauma) that i only share with a few friends that are closer to me, so while i might mention them in threads and hcs, don't expect me to openly share them with everybody. i don't really like most of the main characters of the franchises i write for, and when it comes to certain characters i reserve the right to decline an rp for my own comfort. for further info on my graphics, check my "CREDITS." tag.

IF YOU READ THIS FAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH — JUST ONE LAST THING, COULD YOU PLS LIKE THIS SO I KNOW YOU’VE READ IT? <3 THANKS!

Pinned Post / Further Information About This Blog

This blog is primarily run by one person but sometimes I let my siblings use my tumblr as well. I have art and oc blogs and many other sideblogs for my specific interests, so if you're here because I liked your fandom post, it's likely that I reblogged it elsewhere.

Feel free to check out any of the above, ask questions, send in ask games, etc.! I love to chatter, though as a working adult it'll probably take a while for me to get to anything.

If you're a mutual or a follower and you let me know what you're uncomfortable with, I'll try to tag for it! It can be privately via DM or publicly via anon ask, anything works! As of now I am not careful about keeping this blog sfw, but I try to use community labels where I can, and if you need me to tag for any specific content please let me know!

(I'm mostly on mobile tumblr for now so if my blogs have ugly themes that's why.)

Common tags:

I tag asks with "#asks!" when I answer them!

"#insp", "#art", and "#fave" are a bit self explainatory, but "#character tag" is for posts that have a lot of personality! You could probably call it character inspiration if you wanted. A lot of dynamics in there. It's for posts that are blorbin'.

"#my tags" just means that I made a comment I want to come back to later. It's not meant to dissuade screenshots of my tags, it's just a personal reference tag.

"#spark speaks" for things I post myself or add on to! "#spark has ocs" or "#oc tag" for oc content.

Also, "#comfort" is a tag for things that make me laugh or are otherwise particularly cheerful, so I can come back to it on days when I'm feeling down (feel free to dig through there yourself!)

I also use "#this sparks joy" and "#comfy" sometimes but less often because I forget. I have more tags than this but I don't use them regularly.

[honeymoonjin]

hello sorry but this is goodbye from me on tumblr, explanation below , i love you all and i’m sorry but this is the best thing for me rn

.

first of all, i’m very sorry to all of the people who will be disappointed by this. tgm has been my baby for a long time, but recently it feels like this giant overwhelming work that will never be done, and if i’m perfectly honest i’m pretty sick of writing heterosexual sex. i still love the characters, and i wish sorely that my excitement and motivation could have lasted until the end, but i need to acknowledge that i’ve set this up as a primarily yn x member smut endeavour and i’m just really,,, over it. one thing people have said about my story is that they appreciate the discussions of safety, consent, and kink exploration. i am really sad that i couldn’t continue to explore it with you, but at the end of the day sex education isn’t my job and if y’all haven’t learnt the importance of consent and research by this point what more can i do 🗿

right now, i’m in the process of arranging employment for myself for 2021. all going well, i’ll be an english teacher in korea. with a full time job (and i plan on studying korean while i’m there too) i won’t have any time to write and i also don’t want the kind of mental burden of having an ongoing work. so for a while i’ve toyed with the idea of going back to writing my oneshots. i miss writing things like upstream colour and boseong breakfast, as much as i love tgm i am really guttered that in order to do it, i had to stop writing these pieces that i adore. creating a gentle world for gentle characters is one of my favourite things about writing, and it’s been far too long.

but honestly if i do that, i don’t even think i’ll do it as honeymoonjin. i love my hmj url and the relationships i’ve made while being sora have been really special to me. that being said, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes and it’s reached to a point where i just kinda wanna log out and escape it all. maybe i’ll make a new blog and go back to the delightful freedom of being nobody, maybe i’ll just post on ao3 and leave behind tumblr entirely, i really don’t know.

but there has been a LOT happening that hasn’t really surfaced on tumblr. i have no interest in making this a callout post or spilling tea or sparking drama or anything because fuck that stuff is exhausting and pointless and i’ve learnt that the hard way.

but i think i owe you all a little transparency.

i’ve become very disillusioned with the author environment here on tumblr. i’ve been involved in and have observed countless awful situations involving nets and admins, i’ve seen a whole lot of people who are only admin so that they have power and authority over others, and because of some pretty awful circumstances i had to leave the net that i co-created, which for a long time was my favourite thing to work on.

beyond that, there have been so many authors that i’ve looked up to first as writers and then for some as friends, only to find out some pretty shocking truths in the long run. seeing those people mistreat my friends, emotionally manipulate my friends, often directly lie. me a year ago had no idea how many nasty people there are, and that’s a real shame, because there are some incredible and generous and talented and kind people here too. i have the honour of being close with some of them, and if it weren’t for their support i would’ve left long ago.

but it’s all these negative experiences that have made staying on tumblr - at least as honeymoonjin - a less than enjoyable experience. every day there’s more drama or friendships crumbling or lies exposed and even beyond that, there are certain names and urls that make me feel upset and nauseous even seeing. blocking them doesn’t do much when they’re getting recced every second day in my server (not ur fault ppl from the villa, i still appreciate you all x) but i just feel like,,,, what’s the point suffering unnecessarily?

i’m far too tired to try and name names and change things because i actually don’t think they ever will. i know who my friends are and i’ll keep close once i leave, but as far as i’m concerned it’s time for me to leave.

i want to thank you all for your support over this year and a half i’ve been writing. this has been a hugely enlightening experience in every way and i don’t have many regrets. i’m sorry that i didn’t get to clean up my loose ends but i just feel so unhappy here these days and that’s the sad truth.

it has nothing to do w my readers, i still am so grateful for you and love chatting with you, but i need a clean slate.

i love you all, and my heart is so heavy to say goodbye, but it’s time for me to be selfish and firmly put myself first.

stay safe and healthy, fight for your own happiness even if it doesn’t come easy, and take control of your experiences.

i have loved this and loved you all,

bye bye,

sora xxx
