Nr.14 Kissing under the Guise of a Mistletoe ༻¨ : ·.. ｡⋆⍋*｡

Mattheo Riddle x reader CW: picture does not represent the readers looks, i tried a bit of my old writing style so please give me some feedback

“Come on,” Mattheo drawls, his voice low and teasing as he drops his head onto the table beside you, his dark curls brushing against your arm. “Just one. It won’t kill you.”

The corner of your mouth twitches, betraying the sharp glare you aim at him. It only fuels the smirk tugging at his lips. “I’m working,” you say firmly, trying to ignore how his dark eyes are roaming your face.

“Exactly. You’ve been working for hours. One little kiss won’t derail your masterpiece.” His smirk deepens as he props his chin in his hand, gaze now shamelessly wandering over your features, catching on your lips.

You raise a brow, glancing at him with a soft smile. “Like it ever stops at one kiss with you.”

Mattheo groans dramatically, letting his forehead thunk against the table. “You’re impossible.”

He sits up slightly, eyes narrowing in mock frustration, though you can see the amusement dancing there.

Without warning, his hands snake around your waist, pulling you flush against him just as your pen hovers over the parchment. “Careful, love,” he murmurs, voice dipping into that soft, velvety tone that always makes your heart flutter. “Wouldn’t want to smudge all that hard work.”

You exhale sharply, but the tension melts from your shoulders as his warmth embraces you. He presses feather-light kisses to your shoulder, pecking your skin softly.

His nose brushes against your neck as he buries his face there, his breath hot against your skin. It’s a far cry from the Mattheo Riddle everyone else knows- sharp-edged, untouchable and rude. 

here, he’s all softness and warmth, even if his teasing and smirk stay in place.

A few quiet moments pass, the silence filled with nothing but the sound of shared breaths and the occasional sound of his lips on your skin.

Then, his fingers move across the back of your neck to your hair.

“What do you do with this?” he murmurs, his voice soft and quiet, as he twists a strand around his finger. “It’s so soft, it’s unfair.”

“Matheo,” you warn, but there’s no bite to it, and he knows it.

“Sorry,” he says, though the grin laced in his tone makes it clear he’s anything but. He presses another kiss to your neck, then one near your jaw.

Something flickers above your head, startled, you glance up to find a floating mistletoe, glowing faintly in the dark light.

Your mouth falls open as you shoot him an incredulous look. “Are you serious?”

His lips curl into a grin, wider than his usual smirk, almost boyish in its brightness. Like he’s trying so hard to stay cool but his happiness overwhelmed him. 

“Deadly.” He tilts his head, feigning innocence. “I didn’t make the rules, darling. It’s tradition.”

You press your lips together, fighting the laugh threatening to spill out. “Mattheo-”

“Shh,” he interrupts, brushing a knuckle along your cheek with that hidden gentleness. “No need for words. Just kiss me, and I’ll graciously grant you ten whole minutes of uninterrupted work. Maybe fifteen, if it’s a really good one.”

You bite back a grin, rolling your eyes at his antics, but the warmth in his gaze and the faint blush dusting his cheeks make it impossible to say no.

Thank you all for supporting my blog!! As always, I appreciate all comments and reblogs. It's what keeps me going.

🎙️ just saw your post asking about blog recs…step up to the stage bc i need some!!!!

BLOGS RECOMMENDATION <3

— mostly jjk, but also chainsaw man and aot

*taping the mic* okay here are my nominees with some fics recomendations as well

disclaimers!

lemme start saying so plot is everything to me, pwp can be hot but i'll hardly remember it afterwards, that being said here's some writers that can do both great plots and hot scenes.

also while digging i realize i wasn’t following some of those and if you noticed im sorry im dumb but i truly love your writing.

i tried to tag every active blog i could remember but it’s possible i forgot a few since i’ve been reading more jjk recently. if i forgot you im so sorry please don’t take offense.

many blogs i loved were deactivated, rest in piece great works they had.

everything i read i reblog under the tag #recs

@thekillingmoonmoon ofc moon is the first one i think when the topic "best writers" come up, i freaking love her and everything she does its not even fair to pick one thing so im picking 3, this super passionate toji work that i re-read at an alarming frequency (which btw i consider my own personal gift). yakuza choso and yuki aka the hottest duo ever. the cherry on top is her kishibe series (just realized i gotta catch up on)

@rinhaler - luxe is def on my top 3, she comes up with very organic scenes. even if it's a simple plot she can develop it so originally. I recently read her underground fighter!sukuna and i'm still thinking about it.

@laudthingcat has the best headcanons in the jjk fandom hands down, it’s the perfect dose of hot funny and cute, pick anything from her masterlist it’s guaranteed you’ll have a good time reading it. when you moan their name in your sleep in particular gives me butterflies

@meownotgood is obviously the best aki writer out there, you can see the love for aki in their words and how they write him so well and so into character. arrival in tokyo is truly a masterpiece, they also have a +100k words series i've been wanting to read for a while but i want to rewatch chainsaw man first hehe, i'm 100% sure is fire tho.

@kentoangel roma writes choso like she's in love with him and you can tell. shes always on my for you and even her snippets are *chefs kiss* special kudos to stepbrother!choso

@kentopedia i just realized i'm assigning a writer per character and nanami is definitely rylie's. the domestic lovely way she writes him makes me forget canon.

@tojisun another blog that is very often on my for you page. cannot talk about toji fics without bringing up sun, everything she writes about him has me furiously nodding. not to mention simon and konig, just talking about them makes me wanna run to her blog and binge read everything

@chocochipsushi 's bodyguard toji is unforgetable to me, i wish i lost my memory so i could read it all again for the first time. bodyguard toji is the definition of living rent free in my mind, whenever i have to deal with annoying coworkers i immediately think “bodyguard toji would not allow them to talk to me like that”

@suget one of the greatest geto writers for sure, they have so many geto works, i was going through their blog to find the one i read more recently and there was so many others i haven’t seen! another writer i could very easily spend a whole day binge reading. btw this cult leader one was recommended to me and i fell in love with it <3

@staryukis has the cutest gojo drabbles

@tonycries brooklin baby was recommended to me by moon and it had me by the neck! also they have many other works im hoping to read soon as well

@mommypieck isayama created reiner but they created subby reiner

@titan-fodder ‘s the tinniest notion The Best Reiner fic in all the existence of the universe (tw: stepcest kinda?)

@nanaslutt mma!toji made feel every emotion possible so intensely

[xjoonchildx]

Yeah I totally agree as to how writers are leaving. I agree. Why are they leaving you think?

me figuring out how much trouble i wanna get in tonight

lmaoooooooooo

okay, listen. i have thoughts. i have observations. and i’m going to share some of them with you.

in my experience, most writers have been leaving for one of these three reasons:

1. engagement (rather, the lack thereof)

yeah, yeah i know, writers post about this a lot but here’s why: it’s true. readers on this site, for whatever reason, don’t interact with fics as much as they used to. even some fics that get a lot of likes may only have one or two comments, maybe a couple of reblogs with no feedback.

for what it’s worth, i’ve always felt that for the size of my blog (and how flipping long it takes me to post something) i get wonderful reader feedback and engagement. but i see so many writers struggling out in these tumblr streets, posting really great work that gets very little feedback and it’s discouraging for them. i get it.

i will also be transparent and say that as a writer who biases a “less popular member” it kills me when amazing stories about him (and other “less popular members”) just fall flat.

one of the best hobi stories i ever read had 20 notes when i found it by accident. twenty. it had been posted for some time. in my mind, that was a crime—that story was an absolute masterpiece and it had 20 notes (!). i sent it to every person i knew short of my mama because i was offended that people hadn’t recognized its brilliance. sadly, that writer left tumblr and took her masterpiece with her which brings me to my next point:

2. drama and writer-on-writer crime

phew y’all, there’s just so much of it. i don’t know what it is about tumblr that makes some people lose their absolute minds but they sure damned do. i’ve been here for a minute and i have seen it all.

writers mounting anonymous hate campaigns against one another (this happens a lot). writers mounting anonymous hate campaigns against people they pretended were friends (this one happens a lot a lot). writers sending themselves a boatload of hate anons to get sympathy and attention on the dash (this one happens a lot a lot a lot).

popular writers going out of their way to befriend up-and-coming writers only to then turn around and start nasty whisper campaigns about them when the up-and-coming writer’s blogs and stories eclipse their own in popularity.

insecurity is a hell of a drug.

there are some writers who get on here and they’re cool and they stay cool and they enjoy success and guess what? they’re cool about it.

and then there are the writers who get a few thousand followers and a bunch of notes and delude themselves into thinking they’re real-life celebrities. to those writers i would say: pick the fanciest restaurant in your city, call to make a reservation on a friday night and if they don’t have a slot make sure you let them know you’re really big on tumblr. let me know how that works out for you, okay?

it sounds stupid and it is stupid but this happens on this site all the time. what makes me sad is that it drives people away. they take their personalities and stories and contributions to this insane little space we have here with them, which sucks. the author of that amazing hobi fic? deactivated her account over tumblr drama.

so if you have a blog here and you are so wrapped up in jealousy and insecurity that you feel the need to harass someone off the site (including “friends”), log off and seek help.

3. life (adulting, sigh)

this is the boring one, but it still tracks. this community blew up when covid hit and we all had a lot more time to muse about what kim namjoon would look like in his underwear. but so many people had to get back to the grind after a while, and that meant less time for tumblr and for writing in general (wait is this entire one about me oops)

when i started tumblr i wasn’t working full time. then covid hit. so i had a long stretch where i could dedicate a lot of time to writing and posting. and YES i was still slow, so go ahead and throw that tomato lmao but STILL. it really does impact the number of stories going up and some people who joined during the pandemic just don’t have the time to go back to this like they had before.

so yeah, that’s what i’ve personally seen and experienced on this site. the good news is that for every nasty, insecure writer on this site there are dozens of great people telling great stories. i’m going to stick around for them and i hope you do, too 💕

Saz's Sandman Masterpost

Hi there! It's about time I sorted out this blog and put all my Sandman posts in one place. If you're new here, I adore the Sandman in all its forms and my blog has become a bit of a love letter to this masterpiece of media lately. I mostly write meta analysis, love to discuss the work and the characters, and occassionally try my hand at running fandom events. My ask box is always open and I am always happy to answer any questions about Sandman so please do reach out to me if you like my meta :)

I welcome all fans of The Sandman here, though I can occassionally be NSFW so if that's not your jam make sure you have "NSFW" tag blacklisted. I'm a multishipper of the firm believe that Dream of the Endless should be passed around the other characters like a bowl of goth candy. I don't tolerate ship hate. It's all good here my loves.

I have a fairly decent tagging system. I tag all ships, characters, fanart, meta discussions, fanfiction, etc. You can find the list of common tags below.

My Meta Analysis

Masterpost of Dreamling meta - this is an eight part highly detailed analysis of Dreamling in the show and how it differs from the comic and audiobook, with a focus on how queercoding was used to emphasise a deeper relationship between Dream and Hob.

Hob Gadling - A Queer Romantic - a meta about unreliable narrators, Jim/Peggy and Hob's queer potential.

The Problem with Thessaly - an opinion piece on this problematic comic character and how the show could solve this issue.

Lucienne/Lucien - How the Librarian Became the Chief - a thorough analysis of Lucienne's character in the show and how she differs from the comic and makes everything so much more hopeful.

Tales in the Sand/Men of Good Fortune - How a small swap in story placement can drastically change the tone, and foreshadowing.

Dream of the Endless - A Romantic Fool - a deep analysis about Dream and his love of romance

How to Adapt Orpheus - Theories and discussions about how the show can navigate that particular element of the comics.

How to Adapt Orpheus x 2 - definitely worth reading all the discussions on this one as well.

Shipping comic!Morpheus and merging characters in the show - can I hear it for Morpheus/Pharamond PLEASE!

A Collaborative Post about Morpheus as the villain of the story

Could Morpheus ever be content to be single?

Morpheus and Sex - an analytical point of view

Obsessive Desire - Their complex feelings for Dream - an answered ask about the siblings relationship. (I have a draft meta in the works elaborating on this that I can't wait to finish).

Fandom Events

#Death Appreciation Week - To celebrate the release of Dead Boy Detectives which guest stars Death of the Endless, I ran a Death Appreciation Week where anyone could submit fanworks focused on Death. Follow the tag on my blog which also includes a lot of reblogged older works of Death, or follow the main tumblr tag to see just that work created for the event.

#Sandtober2023 - For inktober 2023, I ran a Sandman themed inktober event which was a huge success and inspired hundreds of amazing Sandman art pieces. You can check out the Sandtober2023 main tumblr tag here. I am probably going to run this event again in October 2024 so watch this space nearer the time for that! :)

If you have any ideas for Sandman fandom events you would like to see please send me a DM.

General Blog Tags

I have a relatively consistent tagging system on my blog so to cover the main ones:

#The Sandman - literally every post about the Sandman will include this tag, so if you are a loyal mutual from fandoms past and you want to block this tag you won't see me cluttering up your feed with Sandman stuff (and thank you for still following me even if you're not a Sandman fan!)

#Dreamling - tag for the Morpheus x Hob Gadling fandom ship. I will tag all things Dreamling - fanart, fanfics, fan theories, crack posts, gifsets etc.

#Sandman Meta - any analysis about Sandman will be tagged with this. This includes both my own analysis and reblogged analysis.

#Sandman Comic Spoilers - I tag for any posts that include Sandman story information not yet revealled in the show. In case there is anyone left on Tumblr who hasn't already been spoiled for this 30 year old comic story.

Character Tags - I generally tag for any characters I reblog or post about. So if you ever want to search for posts about a specific character, you can just find the character tag in my blog. For example #Dream of the Endless or #Johanna Constantine

Ship tags - like with character tags, I always tag fandom ships. Usually by the most popular fandom name for them. #morphanna #Gaultienne

Other fandoms - I will also always tag other fandoms. I have a very long running #destiel tag, I also tag for #good omens and #ineffable husbands and I will always tag the show name, abbreviation, and ship names for any other fandoms.

Other tags - I do try to tag for content warnings where I can, but usually only extreme things. Then again, it is rare for me to post about triggering content. Even squicky content is unlikely to be found on my blog. If you ever come across something on my blog that you feel isn't tagged appropriately please just DM me and I will correct that.

A bit about me

If my blog intro hasn't covered it so far let me clarify here. I am an adult, in my 30s and have never stopped being a passionate fan about the things I love. You don't stop loving things when you hit a certain age, you just find you have less time to devote to your hobbies because of work. I am a professional with a full time job, I come here to relax and unwind. I have been in fandom far too long to be remotely interested in fandom drama. Ship wars do not interest me. Weird anti-sex anti-kink purity policing has no power here. I am fiercely anti-censorship. If I hear the word "proship" in a negative sense I will roll my eyes and assume you are a minor who has been horribly mislead by puritanicals. I don't tolerate hate, accusational bullshit, bullying behaviour, cult-like fandom worship, or any form of fandom policing. I have no time for "big name fans" and the culture around them. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the trauma. Learn your fandom history lest you be doomed to repeat it.

I do not engage in performative social justice. I have my beliefs, my politics, and they generally revolve around the concept that people should be fucking decent human beings and let people be free to live as they choose. Don't come at me for not yelling about the next big world ending event. The world is always ending, people are always dying, there is always a genocide happening, its fucking exhausting. Just do what you can in your actual lives, donate where you can manage, provide support to those in need, and vote out the bastards who fucked it all up.

If you've read this far and are still here welcome! I hope you love my blog and want to be fandom friends. Come send me an ask, a DM, reply to my posts, engage with my meta, and just generally scream at me about Sandman. I always love it when people scream at me about Sandman. :)

[spnfanficpond]

Praise the lord I found it !!!! It’s Not Unless Sam Says by a blog called spectaculacular-sammy … the only issue is their blog has been deleted on here and on ao3 ;(( I guess fate didn’t want me to read those masterpieces again. If anyone has them reblogged please help a sister out🫠

When I saw your first ask, this was the series I immediately thought of!! And I'm devastated that you say it's gone. That series was exactly what I came to Tumblr and fanfiction in general for. Gonna have to pour one out tonight in mourning.

FYI to those who don't know, you can always orphan works on AO3 if you no longer want to be connected to them! No need to delete!!

[magpiefngrl]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "magpiefngrl"?

Hey, anon!

Oh fave fics! I love talking about fics and books, though I feel I talk about fics everyone knows and have nothing new to offer, esp since I've not read much in the last 2-3 years. Still, narrowing it down to 10 is super hard, so I've looked at my bookmarks and chose the ten fics that I've reread the most.

1. Bound Skerry by Frayach (drarry, M, 2.3k)

I've read this a hundred times and I'll keep coming back to it. Possibly my most read fic. The reason it's one of my Forever Fics is the prose. Absolutely stunning writing.

2. House Proud by astolat (drarry, M, 23k)

The original House Magic fic and the best one. I particularly love the hints of dark faerie magic, the horror elements and the brilliant worldbuilding. Astolat's prose is super readable and the pacing is excellent.

3. with exactness grinds he all by thistle_verse (drarry, M, 6k)

An aching fic with beautiful, lyrical writing. I've reread this so many times.

4. Art in Life by northofallmusic (tofsla) (wangxian, T, 2k)

I feel I'm repeating myself but this has excellent prose and it's aching and tender and made me feel all the feels.

5. Out of the Dead Land by orphan account (stucky, M, 63k)

OK so this hasn't stood the test of time because I finished it a few days ago, but WOW. Absolutely brilliant. I'm not even a stucky fan or anything. But I kept thinking about it when I was doing other stuff and I set aside the books I was reading so as to finish this. Now it's days later and it's still on my mind. I can't remember the last time I had a book/fic hangover. A very angsty fic and a fantastic exploration of Bucky's trauma. This is by one of my top authors of all time, who's now orphaned everything.

6. Mr Webster's Wager by Fahye + orphan author (same one as above) (Ash/Webster, E, 27k)

Now we're getting into the horny fics. This one is based on a KJ Charles short story which is the best romance short story ever written in my not so humble opinion. This takes the original story and the horniness of that scene and expands it into many horny scenes. It's masterful, very very hot, and just a fantastic fic.

7. Unhook the Stars by jad (drarry, E, 70k)

One of the first drarry fics I read and one that made a huge impression on me. Super kinky, lots of sex scenes, I've reread this a LOT.

8. IDK My BFF Hermione? by lettered (drarry, E, 19k)

Extraordinary. Phenomenal. It will always have a place in my Top 10. Also, very filthy, which is a huge plus in my book.

9. a better happier st sebastian by halsinator (Jonathan Strange, E, 6k)

Another one I reread a million times. Stunning prose and vibes and beautiful yearning. I keep coming back to it.

10. live from new york by varnes (wangxian, E, 87k)

A masterpiece, a classic of wangxian, this is a Saturday Night Live AU, which is such a bizarre choice for an AU--and yet it works. I don't live in US, I have never watched SNL, but I adored the fic.

I've left out a ton of favourite works and authors I adore, but for more of my faves, my AO3 Bookmarks is the place to go.

I have to say, this exercise has been quite illuminating: I don't think I've ever had such a clear glimpse of what makes me tick. In short, sublime prose, an aching, yearning mood and/or filthy porn.

*****

As for my username, here's the story: I joined tumblr a gazillion years ago (way before I got into fandom) and my first blog (still exists: @magpie-x ) was mostly what you'd call an aesthetic blog. I'd reblog cool pics and quotes and occasionally post a personal post about my life. I named it magpie because it was a place where I collected everything shiny, like a magpie. I rarely used it after a while tbh. Years later I read The Raven Cycle and fell heads over heel with pynch and knew that the only place I'd find fans was tumblr. I got into the nascent TRC fandom and soon I needed a space exclusively for fannish posts. I created a sideblog called magpiefangirling and when I later got an AO3 account I shortened the name. Years later I got into drarry, I became very active on tumblr again, and the sideblog wasn't enough so I deleted it and created a brand new blog with my AO3 name.

In short, magpiefngrl, means magpie being a fangirl. It was a random decision but it has now shaped me and I think of myself as Magpie in fandom spaces, and even chose that as my pen name for my future original romance books.

Hiiii 💛💛💛 here's an idea, Mary's Song by taylor swift (an underrated masterpiece!) + your favorite member of the Fellowship of the ring (LOTR) 💖💖💖

Taylor Swift Writing Challenge: Mary's Song (Oh My My My)

Masterlist | Rules | Taglist | Library | More Aragorn | #taylor swift writing challenge | AO3

synopsis: Elrond wanted you to remain in Rivendell, but you needed to represent the Vale Elves in the Fellowship of the Ring. And you needed to make sure Aragorn was okay.

warnings: DO IT FOR FRODO. Boromir lives

note: just the best song from debut. let's be honest, it was wrote about Aragorn and Arwen. thank you for your request, you're a big inspiration for me :)

Boromir tried to light the fire, but Pippin and Merry insisted for him to teach them more about combat. Boromir complained and continued to work on the fire, but you could see his smile at the constant requests. In your opinion, the only being capable of being truly irritated with the two hobbits is Gandalf.

Frodo sat beside you at the beginning of the cave and imitated you, observing the trail. You both could see Aragorn's back, who was taking advantage of the moonlight in search of fresh meat. "How did you both meet?" Frodo asked, now glaring at you.

"It's a long story." You always found intriguing how his eyes seen to contain sparks.

Frodo opened his mouth, but you already knew what he would say. "We have time for that."

"We do, mister Frodo." You looked for Aragorn, just to make sure he was safe and sound, and turned your body towards the hobbit. Gimli was out there with him, they will be fine. "I was seven. He was nine."

Elrond welcomed him into the Valley with open arms. Men were few among the Elves, but Aragorn was never a strange presence. He was just a kid who needed a home. And there is no shortage of houses in the Valley.

You remember the house in the backyard tree. Sometimes you want to get back. Not only to that house, but to that time. You remember how you both would scream at one another, enraged by the pranks that the other made. Aragorn always said he'd beat you up, and he was bigger than you. He never did. Never.

It was easier. Life was easier. You remember the stars shining, how the sky was somehow bigger than it's now. That moment when the world was a valley wide. When Sauron, power rings and a war were just bedtime tales.

You told Frodo about how you dared him to kiss you and you were ten. Ashamed, you ran when Aragorn tried. That night you slept well.

Just two kids. Aragorn and you.

Suddenly you wasn't just a little girl and Aragorn weren't a little boy anymore. When you're sixteen, something changed. Elrond jokes with other elves stopped being just jokes.

It was about the time you both started fighting. Slamming of doors instead of hugging goodnight. You remember all the times you both fight and you ran to your room, just to find out on the next morning that he stayed outside waiting for you.

"A few years had gone and come around", you told Frodo. "We were sitting at our favorite spot in Rivendell. Right in front of the river. And Aragorn looked at me, got down on one knee."

"And what did you say?" Pippin asked. Now everyone was paying attention. "Don't stop at the best part!"

"I've said I do." You proudly stated, showing the silver ring on your hand. Gandalf smiled to himself, remembering you walking down the aisle.

"It was beautiful", said Legolas. "You were beautiful."

For today, that was the end of your story. But you know that one day it will take longer to tell it. Because one you'll talk about rocking your baby on that very front porch Aragorn asked you to be his.

You'll be eighty-seven, Aragorn will be eighty-nine. You'll still look at him like the stars that shine, telling that story for your child's child. It would be a great song. Yes, it would.

[khaopybara]

tag game ✨

@mbjw saved me from saturday boredom and tagged me in this, so thank you jubs, i enjoyed these a lot.

1. why did you choose your url?

i love khaotung. khaotung was obsessed with the capybara song last year before i even knew who he was. capybaras happen to be a very common animal in the region i live. i was very happy they were getting the recognition they deserved. put them together, we have lovely khao + capybaras = khaopybara (i'm also super sure i've seen people here and on tw use this and i just stole it. i'm not creative especially when it comes to usernames).

2. any sideblogs? if you have them name them and why you have them.

i have two other sideblogs. @tuseryoo for all of the gifs i make so i can have all of them in one blog just because, so i feel like i'm not losing track of the things i create (even though i haven't updated that one in a while), and @captain-xandis that some moots might have noticed in their notifications bc i recently created that one to post gifs about critical role, but i always forget to check which blog appears on top of the thingy, so i'm constantly deleting and reblogging things in the right blog these days.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

as of july 3rd, i've been here for 11 years now, so since 2013? which tracks with my super strong k-pop phase tbh.

4. do you have a queue tag?

nah, i have a queue going for gifs that are requests or for episodes that already aired, but usually i just post things whenever.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

ha, i was into super junior. and i was experimenting with fandom for the first time at the time. that's it. i felt like tumblr was a lot more creative and pretty than twitter or facebook, so i stayed.

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

i am a mook defender and apologist. i also think aya is super cute and super pretty. i change icons so often though, i blame all the pretty women in qls these days for making me change it all the time.

7. why did you choose your header?

i am breathing and living for the heart killers and kantbison and unfortunately i'm dying from lack of content. the tattoo table kiss is going to change lives i think, so until we don't get the official version, i'll have this masterpiece displayed there somehow.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

as of now, it's a 23.5 official trailer gifset of sun being jealous of ongsa with amazing 939 notes, but the gifset of lada protecting earn from hitting her head on the table is quickly catching up with 877.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

17 mutuals? i think that's right.

10. how many followers do you have?

843 if you count the main blog + side-blogs.

11. how many people do you follow?

... 27 blogs.

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

i mean, sure? i do get embarrassed by my own shitposts sometimes and i delete them tho.

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

all the time. it's my favorite social media for sure. i get to see pretty things and my dash is much better curated than other apps. it's great.

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

i don't think i ever fought online. i block people with remarkable expedience tbh if i don't like their vibe or their tone or the shit they post, and i also make use of the filtered tags, so you know, no reason to fight.

15. how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts

these exist? good for them. you shouldn't tell people what to do.

16. do you like tag games?

sure! i only started being part of them now, so sometimes i forget them, or i just don't see i was tagged, but i do enjoy them.

17. do you like ask games?

i don't think i've ever done an ask game but that's mainly bc i think people won't want to know and won't send any asks, and i'd rather spare my ego from that humiliation.

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i think many of my mutuals are famous in our ql bubble which makes it a little crazy that some are my mutuals tbh. that's most of them actually.

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

i do have people that make me kick my feet when they interact with my posts like, twirling my hair, silly smile, giggling because they've noticed me. but actually crushing, imagining our lives in the countryside, with a kitchen facing the meadow in a fine spring morning, with two dogs and three cats, no.

20. tags?

i'm tagging @namtanfilm, @aylinaliens, @sollucets and @sherrymagic, @ayansukkhaphisit and whoever feels like doing it, and to those i've tagged, just ignore this if you want, too, no pressure.

[i-put-the-star-in-bastard]

list 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡

Thank you for this lovely ask @nekittie ❤️

In no particular order, here are 5 things that make me happy:

1- Thinking about Eddie kissing Buck's birthmark (thank you to incredible artists like @purgatory-jar for turning this thought into gorgeous art)

2- The buddie Cuddling & Snuggling and Holding Hands ao3 tags. Shout out to @eddiediazes for writing one of my favourite hand holding fics:

(and honourable mention to this fanfic by @capseycartwright which is not tagged cuddling & snuggling but is about Eddie learning to ask for physical affection and it means the world to me, I adore it and recommend it to everyone 🥰)

3- Brainstorming angsty ideas with @donationwayne (which always turn into crack somehow 🤷🏻‍♀️) because we love our babies but we also love to hurt them 🤭

4- all my mutuals who write the funniest tags when they reblog stuff from my blog (let it be known that I always read your tags and they make me giggle at work)

5- This incredibly angsty but MAGNIFICENT fanfic. I read it weeks ago and I still think about it all the time, it was breathtaking, I adored it. Thank you so much @turningthepaiges for this masterpiece ❤️

(I hope I tagged the right people as I tried to find you according to your ao3 names ❤️)

[justaaveragereader]

Helloooo! I've been on Tumblr for years now and l've been really enjoying your fics!!! Your blog is so warm and welcoming!!! Lol it's a little embarrassing but l've read all of your fics! (I know ppl here say to reblog and like fics and I agree but l've never found the confidence to do so. Anonymity has gotten me through my social anxiety while still being able to do human to human interactions) So in other words I'm sorry for no hearts and reblogs But just know l've loved every single one and I've just caught up and read everything today! I will say your writing has improved, but I'll forever love The 8 evil thoughts! The world building, the twists and turns, the mind boggling of it all!!! It will truly be my favorite series! I just love how "evil" Ateez is painted to be but in the end being the ones that have been wronged from the beginning! And for real though I've never hated a "y/n" character more! Like damn they made me audiblv scream at their actions! And just love how "evil" Ateez is painted to be but in the end being the ones that have been wronged from the beginning! And for real though l've never hated a "y/n" character more! Like damn they made me audibly scream at their actions! And tbh it was so rewarding for Yunho to be the one to off them in the end! Gosh I could talk about this fic series for hours! But I won't bore you with what I hope you already know! You did an amazing job in the world building and the character creation! And I hope you are truly proud of such a masterpiece!

- Yours truly, an avid fan/reader💛

I’m about to bite steeeeel rn!!! First I don’t even know where to begin😭thank you, thank you, thank youuu🖤🖤! Just the fact you said my blog is welcoming and warm, that’s the first thing I strive for tbh! It’s not embarrassing that you’ve read them all! If anything that makes me squeal!!! I always feel like I don’t have enough work posted but at times I’m like ugh..I hope this enough for ppl to read!

On my fics I never try to post “like, reblog, or etc..” or anything of that nature bc I don’t want anyone to feel pressured to do any of that…I just want ppl to read and enjoy it! Thank you for saying my writing has improved, I feel the same, but it’s so nice to hear it from others🖤! I’m working to improve it everyday!

T8ET will always be my fav work I’ve ever written, I took so much time and put so much thought into writing that fic, my biggest accomplishment was making y/n the most hated😭😂! I felt it was three sides to that story in the fic, someone is always painted a villain in someone else’s story, so I felt it was time that we saw the “villains” pov, they got handed that title for doing what they felt was best. Yunhos redemption ark will forever be my favorite thing! You could never bore me🖤, know that! I’m always happy to discuss my fics with ppl, especially readers who pay attention to the small details, always my fav thing to do🖤!!

Even tho you have social anxiety, which as someone who also has social anxiety, I say this with nooo pressure, I hope this won’t be the first nor last time I hear from you I say hoping that doesn’t pressure you, don’t be a stranger, I’m so happy you slide into my ask box to leave this masterpiece🥹🖤, thank you babes, thank you😚🖤!!

Short Fiction Weekly Challenge

Time for a new prompt from the Short Fiction Weekly Challenge, tumblr edition. Let it spark your imagination. Any character, any fandom, any original world. Reblogs welcome!

Post your story to your blog and send the link to Short Fiction Weekly Challenge! We’ll send the link out to all our followers to enjoy.

This week’s SFWC prompt:

Week of November 29, 2024

Biggest Fan: If your character has any kind of public renown, they must have fans, and if they have fans, they must have a Biggest Fan. The Stan. Usually this person is portrayed as obsessed, even dangerous. Is this the case with your character’s biggest fan? Do they follow every bit of news? Learn the minutiae of your character’s life and exploits? Rather than some rando, are they someone inside your character’s circle? Someone on the edges, whom your character might know, but not know of their fascination. Does your character ever find out? Does the Biggest Fan find a way to interact with your character? Is it creepy or flattering?

Feel free to continue submitting stories for any prompt.�� A masterpiece missed the deadline?  Don’t let it gather electronic dust.  Submit it anyway and Short Fiction Weekly Challenge will publish it.  

This week’s featured previous prompts are: 

Set the Standards: What's the minimum your character will accept, be it service, the kinds of jobs they'll take, or the places they'll go or stay? What about the people they'll work with or date? Do they have standards for decency or conduct? How do they define them? What's their reasoning for their personal limits? Have they ever been tested? Are they reasonable, inflated, underrated, irrational? 

Friends to Enemies: Hate is always easier to evoke than love or friendship, so easy prompt this week. Or is it? Imagine one of your character's friends becoming an enemy. Why do they diverge when they obviously got along well? A slow drift or one inciting event? Losing a good friend hurts, and making one an enemy means the wound never really heals. How does your character live with it?  

Got an idea for a prompt?  Submit it here.

And what do you mean you have ly:a tattoo??? i didn't know that!! sorry if you mentioned it somehow i'm so bad at reading hints and all but OMG what kind of telepathy is that?? I love this song too and your boys' voices sound so pure and precious no wonder i thought about you! Somehow it was the only image i saw in my head so made these gifs and you're telling me this🤯🤯 I need to pinch myself still can't believe that cute and funny coincidence, love that for us💖

about the coincidence on your masterpiece in shape of a gifset; that was honestly one of the craziest that ever happened to me and i'm still 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 and don't you worry, i barely had mentioned about it tho! i think the only person that i've talked about it was kayla and steph in some point... but i've never show it my tattoo, is in a very specific part of my body that i'm not secure to show it anymore >.< sadjkalsd but that was what makes the gifset even more special because you completely read me like a book! even tho there's almost zero hint. i got goosebumps when i saw it!!! I LOVE THAT FOR US TOO!!!!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗 and completely agree with you, their voices only makes the song and lyrics more and more meaningful 🥺 they're my everything. thank you so much for that! truly unforgettable.

🍓🥤❄️ 🏜️ for the ask game!!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

funnily enough, ive been writing for around 10 years now 😭 i actually randomly stumbled upon wattpad when i was 11 and then when i was 12 i got super into 5sos bahahha. I think everyone gets into fanfic when they stumble into a fandom and well, after reading a bunch of 5sos fanfic i decided to write my own because i just thought it would be fun!! aand here i am 🙂‍↕️ i wrote fanfic for many diff fandoms but then i kinda stopped for around 2 years and picked it back up when i got into kpop and got into tumblr !!

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

everyone knows i am the biggest fan of beam @sungbeam so i have to recommend mainly her masterpiece night terrors and my beloved flight risk. @yojeongin 's it's too bad you're married to me is a literal masterpiece i think about it daily. @dkfile has amazing AMAZING fanfics always but the soulmate service has a very special place in my heart. and if you had to ask me about my favorite fanfic of all times it would absolutely have to be pussy blocked by @luvdsc 🩷

i also have a ficrec blog @03230 so anyone reading this should read all the fics from the beautiful big brained ppl on here and support them with a reblog!!

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

I will turn this ask towards what I personally dream of writing bahaha. I think i fulfilled my dream theme with partners in crime a little, since this idea has been in my mind for literally years. but i am kind of basic and i really dream of writing a hockey player au and a podcast host au one day !! (both are a wips and in my drafts and both for eric so..lets hope i get to them one day haha)

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

ooh i think all writers enjoy long reblogs that really analyze all the details and small things and say exactly what parts the reader enjoyed i also love it when they screenshot the part and tell me their thoughts abt it it makes me feel so 🥰🥰 but i also love hearing that the members acted just like themselves/that people reread my work and think about it often!! that is always very encouraring. I do however appreciate all feedback 🩷🙂‍↕️

ask game!

[rc-appreciationweeks]

Hello! Planning to contribute on #BeMyRCValentine? Awesome! 💘

To make it a great experience for all, we have put together a FAQ for your convenience:

Q: How do I make sure you see my work?

A: Easy! Use the tag #BeMyRCValentine and be sure to link @rc-appreciationweeks. Our mods will check regularly for new content. Post to your own blog and we’ll pick it up!

Alternatively, submissions are open and we will schedule your content for the appropriate day (or day of your request). If you have any questions about what day your content fits under, don’t hesitate to send us a message!

Q: What kind of things should I post in each day?

A: For Day 1 (themed Day), think: fluffy, sweet, tender things. Dates, love language, gifts, serendipity, first kisses, new love, old love... All those warm and fuzzy feelings! 💘💕💘

For Day 2 (themed Night), think: heavier, maybe even angsty content fits here. Missed connections, longing, last kisses... But also, this is where spicy content is especially welcome! 😏 Despite what Vlad believes, darkness can be a good thing 😤

Q: Do my creations have to include Valentine's Day?

A: No! The idea is mostly to inspire creation and appreciation for your favorite RC love interests. Valentine's Day is a day of love, so as long as your creations are themed around love, you're good! And as always, we welcome all types of content, length, style and so on. We even want to see your WIP if that’s all you had time for.

Q: I would like to share something NSFW, can I?

A: For this event, we especially encourage spicy content! But to make sure that only the people who would like to see it see it, we ask that you tag your content with #valentinespice. If it is especially explicit (think the 95💎 CGs, or something that you wouldn't want the old lady on the bus stop to accidentally see on your phone 💀 — in general, things that would belong in a R-rated movie), we ask you to kindly put it under the cut. And finally, please make sure we're talking consenting adults all around!

Q: How do I avoid suggestive and 18+ content?

A: You can avoid those creations by filtering/blacklisting the tag #valentinespice. For instructions on how to do that, please check this article.

Our mods considered using the community labels, but in all honesty, we are concerned about being shadowbanned 😅 We believe this solution will work and will allow us to have a good event for all!

Q: How should I use “the cut”?

A: First of all, thank you for thinking of your fellow RC fan! It would be great to use the cut or “Read More” option in your post if your content has a content warning on it and/or if your post is more than 1000 words long.

“Why cut at 1000 words?” Great question. You see, scrolling over really really long posts is just not very reader friendly, and many will not reblog content that takes more than a short hand gesture to get past. That’s why we recommend you hide the rest of your masterpiece around the 1000 word mark for us to reblog without feeling awkward about clogging up the feed with all this incredible content. We thank you in advance!

If you have any additional questions, don’t be shy - our ask is open 24/7, including Sundays.
