Would you like to be sent other people's Killie headcanons? I wasn't sure if that would be welcome or like stealing your toys.

(Killie the jockey oc)

Thank you so much for asking! I’m going to say something wild - that it’s fine if you understand the risks and agree to the conditions. Sorry for writing an essay about the conditions, but it interested me a lot - I want to welcome this spirit, and am also conscious that published authors don’t do this (however, I don’t want their job.)

Long story short: you can, but it’s not legally advisable, but fuck it, we ball.

Grownups share toys, and Killie exists to be rotated - and, when he achieves sufficient velocity, thrown briskly into an obstacle. Sharing this burden with others pleases me. I’ve already said an emphatic GO AHEAD to fanart and AU fanfic, so worrying about this too much would be a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has eaten it. We do a lot of riffing and yes-anding each other, which is the ENTIRE fun of talking about Killie, and is the ONLY reason he’d get a book anyway. And my approach to intellectual property is more collaborative-Goncharov than the inciting published-authors-shouldn’t-read-fic-incident (1990s drama with Marion Zimmer Bradley.)

Killie’s intended to have a little self-published, non-commercial book that isn’t written yet. If I was already planning to do something similar to your ideas, it might lead to awkwardness for both of us. I’m not saying it would - we are too mature and kind - but that’s the risk I don’t want you to take unknowingly. I do mean to create 1 piece of fixed canon material (plan for that here), for which I plan to charge sufficient money to reimburse the cost of the editor I plan to hire for it. So you would have to decide whether you’d like to risk your headcanon being canon. I will say upfront that there is zero risk of Killie being commercially viable (CAN YOU IMAGINE) so there’s no chance of anyone (including myself) getting paid for anything; it’s more about the idea of intellectual property. Your headcanons belong to you, and by kindly sharing them with someone who hasn’t written the canon yet, you risk a lot more than someone writing about a closed, distant work.

You don’t need approval or permission for headcanons. You don’t need approval from anybody to enjoy them.

Of course, half the pleasure of sharing headcanons is sharing them for connection and communication ARGH.

It would be great if you could share them somewhere else, without worrying about me being involved, but Killie’s entire fandom is the 20 of us, currently housed here, in my living room.

I do want to encourage you to do that (posting without telling me/discussing with other people). you don’t need my permission, and are welcome.

But I do understand Killie’s fandom is housed in my living room at the moment. As much as I intend for him to move out in the future, ideally into a small kennel in YOUR living room, it’s very natural for current observations of him to take place in my living room.

(Could he please move into your living room, the kennel is very small)

Thus, here is my policy:

If you send me a headcanon, please understand that you are voluntarily and freely releasing your idea, in the spirit of willing sharing. There is a very slight risk that your headcanon will overlap with something in the unpublished Killie book, so you’ll have to agree that you understood this risk - and that I don’t owe you anything, if it’s similar.

If you have a very good idea that would be absolutely load-bearing, I’d like to reach out for a mutually consensual permissions statement to use it. You would have the ability to decline. Agreeing to its use would involve you getting full credit for the idea, my warm thanks for sharing it, a link to your blog in online material, the admiration of everyone reading the credits, and probably nothing else will be in my power. Payment is unlikely. Co-authorship is not on the table, as I can’t write checks I can’t cash (I.e. I can’t promise to pay someone with credit on a product that might not happen.)

submission of writing prompts is done freely in the tumblr context, and I’m going to make the formal statement that a prompt does not grant co-ownership of the resulting work. Submission does not mean co-ownership - if you submit a prompt, you’re giving me permission to use it in any way I like, with or without credit. At the moment, it’s all on tumblr and attached to usernames, but if the inspired work moves to another platform (I.e I include a comic in Killie’s book) I’ll endeavour to keep the credit to your tumblr handle. I plan to thank everyone who makes the work so possible and so delightful!

Once Killie has this completed piece of work out (working title Throw Your Heart Over) he’ll be fair game. Literally hunt him for sport with my blessing 👍

I would then put him in a hamster ball and kick him down the stairs step back a bit because I think it could be a bit oxygen-smothering when creators are TOO involved - I’d like to respond to asks, but would not want to know what people were saying elsewhere- but once moved out of my living room, Killie will no longer be my personal problem.

Death of the Author voluntarily. Pls.

I was thinking of licensing him as Creative Commons anyway, but he still needs to move out of my living room and get his own address for that. At any rate, then, it will be chill for all of us to do whatever. Intellectual property WHOMST. The only thing would be I don’t want him sold without permission.

The intention of Killie is mental freedom and growth of identity; if I hogged him all to myself, I’d break that intention, and he’d rightfully stop working for me.

In conclusion, by willingly sharing a headcanon WITH ME, you agree that you get: small but high-quality connection, engagement, my admiration, hoots of amusement, tears, maybe a comic in response.

You do not get paid, you don’t get co-authorship or have any ownership.

If your headcanon accidentally matches a canon statement that I haven’t publicly made yet, you’ll have done very well by guessing foreshadowing, but unfortunately receive nothing. Guessing canon in advance does not mean that you gave me the idea, and you have agreed that by sharing it willingly.

If your headcanon solves a plot problem, I might reach out for permission to use it, with the conditions that I can only realistically offer credit for the idea. You’ll have the right to decline, and the paper trail showing that you did.

You will have no way of knowing if I am lying, and by freely sharing headcanons, you accept that risk. (I don’t intend to steal and lie - I’m a goddamn grownup with a day job, I think we’re friendly and trust each other, I’m writing a novel as a present to you, specifically, @thethirdromana - but the risk can’t be ignored.)

If you share your headcanon with other people, I don’t need to know, and don’t need to be invited.

Once Killie’s published, you can eat him for breakfast.

Hope this all makes sense, and I’m sure published authors would be gnawing their nails in horror reading this, which they won’t, because it’s 20 people in my living room and won’t make any money.

Regardless of what you choose to do, I cannot thank you enough for joining me, sharing your heart and attention, and for the gift of your support.

everytime i think about ex!bakugo, i get so emotional thinking about how he carries on with his day-to-day like the breakup didn’t happen.

he doesn’t even give himself time to mourn the relationship, to process the loss of you. he throws himself into work, practically drowning in it because he can’t bear staying idle.

you’re everywhere, still—

in the picture frames scattered around his home, in the decorative pieces that each hold their own memory. some of the clothes you returned to him smell like you.

when kirishima asks him how he is, he never answers, always redirecting the subject back to work. deku notices longer bouts of silence during joint patrols, and when he pries, bakugo’s only reply is, “s’not a concern.”

it’s unusual, because bakugo is loud and rough, he barks and barks and barks, but with this, he stays quiet.

Hello, in celebration of winning the Book Club's price in college and getting "The Book of Bill" as a gift. These are my favorite snippets translated in spanish (also Billford) (Also, some of these are probably the same in english, but they are the ones that made me go, "HUhhh????" the most)

First one is the cover, which can be translated to for adult readers or mature audiences (Somehow i feel like if i showed someone the cover they would think is like... suggestive content lmao)

Pig hard go shovel / ask crazy dora / go give raw hair / to say it hard / give fast star(?) / chime burly dollar. (The one on the left says "Burly dog tail" it says "di" instead of "de" but idk if is intentional or not)

Now the ones with Ford:

No, no. I took a look at his possible future's, and i laughed with joy. He was destined to do much more than that. And those hands... suddenly, everything made sense.

-Bill... ¿Can i call you that?

-You can call me anything except <<my love>>! Ha, ha! It's a joke! Everyone loves me!

-Can i call you <<braniac>>?

-You can call me anything except <<my love>>

Am i really going to destroy everything due to heartbreak? No, i won't GIVE HIM the pleasure!

Who else will make you feel like this? Admit it, you'd miss me. I'm your favorite mistake.

Garrance who are in love but also very aware that they both hold the second place medal of each others' devotion. Their Lord will always come before their lover. She will always hold the greatest parts of their hearts, always carry the greatest pieces of their souls with her, and neither one of them will ever be able to bear asking for them back. She will never love them the way they love her. But they still have each other, even if they can't give the other all their love, and maybe the jagged edges of where the pieces their Lord carries split off from the rest of them can fit together like a puzzle. Maybe together they can be enough.

sorry for this being like the fourth time you seen me post this lina @linaharutaka but my heart is happy and warm and im crazy and you made him so gorgeous thank you soso much . AUUGHUHHHHGH

[beclight]

im known for being THE bec light fan of the fandom, so i feel like im in the right place to say this: YOU DO NOT OWN FANDOM CHARACTERS AND CANNOT PREVENT OTHER PEOPLE FROM LIKING THEM JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO, and if that makes you uncomfortable (which is fine, and for any reason), THE THING TO DO IS BLOCK NOT HARASS THEM!!!!!!! ive seen too many ppl in this fandom disrespect others over DARING to say, even as a joke, that they're the number one fan of X character. If someone having the same favorite group of pixels as you genuinely angers you, to the point of feeling the need to insult them and having concerning thoughts about them, then maybe it is time to log off

I looked up from reading your Killie-posting last night to discover that it was an hour and a half past when I had intended to take a shower, well done. I have! Killie Questions. How did he and Charlie reconcile? Who sought out who, or was it an accident? Also what was the first Winning Horse Killie rode, and how old was he his first time in the winner's circle?

(Killie the jockey OC)

Thank you so much! I am so grateful, I truly appreciate it, I hope you had a good shower, and I’m so sorry it took me so long to respond.

I have decided that Killie and Charlie’s reconciliation would probably be the first arc of the silly little planned book Throw Your Heart Over, and would be the result of a complete and utter accident. Charlie bears a hell of a poisonous grudge, and Killie got nasty in his absence, but the instant they see each other again, they’re back on their bullshit. Like magnets.

As for the racing age, this was interesting and I had to reflect on it, because Killie could have started winning prize races as young as 9, and this was a really interesting research prompt/character revelation piece. Thank you so much.

In the UK and Ireland, children can take an apprentice jockey license at the age of 16 and begin competing with adults. Billy “the kid” Loughnane is a current young rider who started winning right away. However, before then, particularly well-connected children may have participated in two flavours of pony racing.

Killie probably wouldn’t have gotten involved in Shetland Pony Racing, an adorable slow-motion sport in which small children and fat ponies comically bundle down a racetrack, often as an icebreaker.

I can’t see Killie’s parents being super interested in facilitating this, but plenty of ambitious, generational, or generally well-off-enough-to-afford-a-pony jockeys get their start doing this. Riders are aged between 9 and 14 years old, and must be under 5 feet tall. The most significant competition on the scene is the Shetland Pony Grand National. The sport is more popular in the UK.

But the separate sport of non-Shetland Pony Racing is pretty serious and is handled more like an adult sport. The ponies in this sport are more like racehorses, and it’s included in racing festivals alongside adult races. It is especially popular in Ireland, and is where many generational jockeys get their leg up in a career, Rachel Blackmore in particular having been a successful pony racer. The most significant competition is the Dingle Races. Up until 2023, you could compete in pony racing from the age of 11 until eligible for your apprentice jockey license.

This was changed following the truly tragic loss of a 13-year-old jockey in 2022, which makes it all too real. The age of competition in proper pony racing has now been raised to 14.

I then had to decide how the Tiernan parents would have handled this. On the one hand, they were specifically breeding and training bringing their kids up to be winners. Bill Tiernan prized the elder sons above most other things, and would spend a lot to give them an advantage. but on the other hand, they were running a professional training yard and had plenty of REAL horses-in-training and people around to race, so why dick around with kids’ ponies… practically, one could skip the pony step entirely, and chuck them up on racehorses. It’s a little further to fall, but so what.

That’s what the mother would do. She, of course, would have had a childhood pony herself; but would resent having to deal with an equine on the books that cost a lot, and didn’t do much, and that her stupid kids were so TIRESOMELY emotionally attached to. It’s a pet, they’re not in the business of pets. The boys can work as stable staff and train at home until they actually start REAL WORK.

But because the Tiernan father is a different sort of horrid-but-complex person, and because the worst villains are the ones who believe they’re doing the best thing, and because the hardest parents-to-walk-away-from are the ones who also showed kindness and love; because he loved them, and because that makes it worse; because of all these things, Bill Tiernan got the kids a childhood pony or two. He supported the boys on the pony racing circuit, despite the cost and difficulty and time.

and so Killie won his first race, a pony race, at 13.

(But Charlie had his first pony race win first. A few months earlier. In a fluke. It was funny at the time.)

And the mother probably put the pony down herself, the instant she felt Colm had gotten too big for it.

people actually went on about how game of thrones made it socially acceptable to be a fantasy nerd, as though the lord of the rings movies hadn't been released less than a decade earlier and left far greater cultural ripples and i am just

got may have made the adults feel better about liking fantasy, but lotr got into the kids' heads when they (we) were just young and impressionable enough to be absolutely transported and emotionally rewritten by don't you leave him, samwise gamgee and my brother, my captain, my king and and rohan will answer

lotr was rewriting entire generations' brain chemistry long before asoiaf and so obviously it's not fair to compare any post-lotr fantasy novel to it, and each book series was trying to do different things within their own spheres and so that also is not a fair comparison, but in terms of the cultural impact of the adaptations that came out within a decade of each other, saying that it was game of thrones that made fantasy mainstream is baffling

game of thrones could only run because the lord of the rings movies laid the path, and i will die on this hill
