My fav ship/dynamic in Hoyoverse:
C.W.: A very long post!
Whether romantic or platonic, this is one of my fav relationship dynamic: The goofy, happy sunshine and their stoic partner that has a tragic/dark past.
Or in the hoyoverse case, sunshine protagonist with their anemo partners!!
Top left and right: Caelus and Dan Heng from Honkai: Star Rail
Bottom left and right: Xiao and Aether from Genshin Impact
Both appearing together on official art
Having close proximity with each other, and that both are out of "dire" circumstances, being that Xiao is saving Aether from a falling platform while Dan Heng is reviving Trailblazer with "CPR"
I just love their dynamic so much sksksksksk! Here's a few parallels from what I can find so far:
When they both first meet, things went a bit of a rough, awkward patch, with the whole CPR thing and Traveller trying to contact Xiao for the first time
Both gradually gets closer to each other while fighting enemies and going through quests
Appearing together on official arts
Being "saved" by their anemo partner: Xiao saving Aether from falling off a platform and Dan Heng about to revive Caelus through "CPR"
Caelus and Aether's yellow-brown colour palette; while Xiao and Dan Heng's colour palette is teal-coloured
Caelus and Aether having special powers being that they can switch elements and has light elements; while Xiao and Dan Heng having anemo/wind element
I like Xiao and Aether's dynamic more since Xiao has more chance to flesh out his character development through the quests and limited time events, moreover since genshin is older than star rail so we were able to see more interactions between them.
Although it's been a year or so after star rail was released, there's still a long way to go for the story and the limited time events. That said, I really like Dan Heng's quest in the Luofu, especially that small moment when IL Dan Heng was asking Caelus if he has any questions, to which Caelus remains silent (prob due to the events and confusion) and that Dan Heng was a bit worried since Caelus didn't respond about how he was really feeling. Also, another moment I like was when Caelus and Dan Heng were both stressed when they couldn't contact each other during the Luofu quest and Dan Heng was stressed trying to find the astral gang. I wish I could add more screenshots about their interactions but I can only add 10 pics...
I'm a bit sad that Dan Heng didn't join with the astral express gang in Penacony but it's understandable since dude went through a lot in Luofu. Still, I hope we get to see more of him! (it's also really sweet when Dan Heng was about to come to their rescue through the text messages when he found out that there's some issues going on in Penacony and Trailblazer got hurt)
Whether romantic or platonic, I hope to see more of their interactions cause I'm literally eating any of this type of content I can find on social media aaaaaaaaahhhh! Let me know what you guys think about them! (灬╹ω╹灬)
P.S. I've been thinking about posting a fanfic for Dan Heng and Caelus together on Ao3 so it's been in the drafts so far, also if you're interested feel free to check out my Xiaoaether fanfics on my pfp!
Also here's my spotify playlist for Xiaoaether! Feel free to have a listen!

Will always forgive Genshin retcons because it set up Guizhong as Zhongli's widower his one that got away the one he pines for for 3000 years who taught this cold military general how to have a human heart that loves and bleeds and after thousands of years he still holds her gift to him wishing he could unlock it.
And then the new years event happened and it's revealed she was the dyke who brought their friend group together and mainly hung out with 2 women and zhongli is kind of an afterthought to the greater dynamic.
Crazy stuff. Top 10 most obvious "nvm. Thought of something else" in this game

please stop calling dazai/ranpo ‘souheki’
I posted this originally on twitter, but it unfortunately didn’t get a lot of traction, so I figured I’d post it on here as well in hopes it would get a little bit more traction and I apologize in advance for the fact I will be ‘clogging tags’ so to speak to get the word out.
I generally don't like to flood tags but people who tag Dazai/Ranpo (also known as Daran/Ranzai) as ‘souheki’, please don't. Yes, it is their team name in the japanese version of 55 minutes, but it not unique to BSD the same way ‘soukoku’ is for Dazai and Chuuya.
'Souheki’ in japanese is commonly used to describe an unbeatable pair or duo/matchless people, alternatively referred to as 'two treasures' or the lit translation 'double jade' as the japanese for heki is the chinese for jade.
This being said: MANY OTHER SERIES' USE THIS NAME FOR CHARA DUOS!! If you look up souheki, especially in Japanese, you will find everything from the Lan Brothers and Lan Juniors fom MDZS, Ferdibert from FE3H, Haikaveh from Genshin Impact, and even Fukumori FROM BSD. It does not belong exclusively to Dazai and Ranpo, so you are making the search all the more difficult for everyone involved, and you are burying and missing out on amazing, pre-existing content of them that has been around for almost ten years now.
I’ve been a big shipper of Dazai and Ranpo for that same amount of time, and the ship name has always only ever been Daran/Ranzai. The JP fans have never changed it, because ship names and team names are not equal or interchangeable. (Similarly, content intended to be shippy for them is tagged as Dachuu/Chuuda, never SKK.)
Additionally, soukoku was introduced the second Dazai and Chuuya were announced as a duo in bsd. The term souheki towards Dazai and Ranpo was not mentioned at all throughout the series until 55 minutes, which wasn’t written until 4 years after bsd was created and Dazai/Ranpo already had a ship name. (I’ve been here since 2013, trust me it has only ever been this.)
Once a ship name is created, it is not changed, especially in the japanese fandom where we borrow the ship names. (dachuu, kunizai, akuatsu as examples)
The JP fans never even brought much attention to the souheki concept aside from how it catered to the ship itself. The ship name(s) has not changed for ten years.
For further comparison, this is how the google search looks when you search soukoku / double black:
And this is what happens when you search souheki / ‘double jade’ ‘twin jade’:
This has reached so far that even Japanese fans are seeing this and being confused because, again, ‘souheki’ is not unique to just Dazai and Ranpo!! And it has been used for other ships!
If you are posting content for them, please please PLEASE tag it as daran/randaza/ranzai/etc. Please stop using souheki and muddying the waters to find content of these two.
if you want to find content for them, these are their tags in jp:
乱太 / らんだざ / randaza or ranzai (top ranpo content ONLY)
太乱 / だざらん / dazaran or daran (top dazai content ONLY)
太乱太 (content that can be translated either way / switch)
Please keep in mind that ships are tagged accordingly for who tops/bottoms or is the one who may have the more confident or dominant personality in jp fandom to filter content and those who dislike one dynamic will not be exposed to it. This is not an argument over top/bottom discourse. Jp fans do not have that problem. When you write/read a fic with top A, their actions/thoughts/etc will differ greatly from reading bottom A content 9/10 times. Some people have a preferred character interpretation like everyone else and are much more consistent with filtering.
While I am certainly happy daran/ranzai are finally canonically confirmed to be the agency's 'unbeatable duo/two precious treasures' (souheki), it is misleading and quite frankly incorrect to claim this is their ship name and to please keep tagging them as daran/ranzai so older content doesn't get brushed under the rug and completely ignored/missed altogether in this attempt to give them a 'special name'. They dont need to combat skk. They are unique and special as they are!
Please give attention to the content made by fans of Dazai/Ranpo fans that have existed for a long time now! We promise there is actually a TON of content, it is not lacking whatsoever. You’re just looking under the wrong name!
As a really big fan of Dazai and Ranpo for a very long time, who is friends with a majority of the Dazai/Ranpo fanartists in Japan and has spent a concerningly scary amount of money for content of them over the years, I hope you will consider this advice. I really want fans of Dazai/Ranpo to come together, enjoy content old and new, and make more in the future together. (〃>_<;〃)
Please share this around if you could!
#Dazai Osamu#Edogawa Ranpo#bungou stray dogs#souheki#daran#ranzai#it pains me to tag it as souheki but i really want people to know about this cuz this misinformation is spreading way too far these days ;;

YORU ARCHON QUEST THOUGHTS:
okay so i just finished the archon quest and 🧍🏻♀️oh my lord both lyney and wriothesley and neuvillette and dude genshin wants me shrivelled up like a raisin istg i am 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️ no but honestly i really enjoyed the quest and took my time with it, the whole overworld/underworld thing is so cool and it‘s interesting how the prison in fontaine works. there is literally so much more to find out and this quest felt like a filler but a very interesting filler quest which is needed, so arlecchino can be properly introduced and we got to find more stuff out about furina and neuvillette and all of them.🩷 also lyney being so protective i got wet lmao
the only thing i’m sad about 🥲 no tortellini, stop it you guys i miss childe so much and we barely saw him but omg it‘s so sexy he just dipped that‘s so tartaglia, master childe, 11th harbinger of him🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 but wtf was that thing at the end like was that a whale or 🧍🏻♀️👛 but the top looks like the abyss, or the sky in the spiral abyss + childe‘s just so sexy come on GUYS HE IS RAAR RAW RNEL👹
andddd furina 🧍🏻♀️i have no words i’m so confused, i’m just happy they confirmed neuvillette is the dragon and not the archon because so many on twt were saying it must be neuvillette even tho it was kinda obvious from the start he‘s not an archon but i just WISH furina would be strong or something like i know there is more to it, especially since arlecchino, the sexy woman of my dreams, said furina is cursed 🥲 i also want to know more about the previous hydro archon like i played the sumeru quest and i know how she died and all but i want to know more still. all in all 10/10 it was hilarious, wriothesley is so funny and everyone was so chaotic, i really like clorinde and wriothesley together their dynamic is so funny 😭😭💀💀💀 i can‘t wait for more 🩷 and please give us childe back i need him hoyo

♧ PAYMENT NOTES:
you must pay 50% upfront, I will send a sketch and as much proof as you'd prefer before the final piece for genuinity, after the commission is done, I will send an obnoxiously watermarked version, and thats when you pay the remaining 50% and receive the clearer piece.
there will be NO REFUNDS after the sketch is complete.
I can only accept payment through genesis crystals (in-game currency) as of right now, I do not take other forms of currency.
how to use WILL be discussed later (if needed).

frequently asked questions while i don't mind answering the same asks, i take a long time to answer since i'm not online too often 😅 so here's a post for people to refer to in case i'm M.I.A.
WRITING RELATED QUESTIONS
Do you accept requests?
Sorry, no! Don't have the time for it, so I only really write when I feel particularly inspired by a plot/concept.
Will you write for the NRC faculty or the side characters?
One of these days! Though it will be platonic or age-appropriate for the staff. I'm trying to figure out just how to characterize them the best I could first!
Will you ever write a part two for (insert one-shot)? Will you write these headcanons but for (insert characters)?
One-shots: If I feel like it! Especially if it's a fic I'm particularly fond of and I feel could still be explored dynamics wise.
HCs: I usually state when something is going to be a series, so just look out for that!
Are translations of your work allowed?
With permission from me, so please send a DM first! Or leave a comment under one of my fics on AO3. Either way!
Would you ever consider writing for another fandom?
Of course, but not on this blog! And no guarantees I'd ever make a blog in the first place, I'd probably just post on AO3 heehee
GRAPHIC DESIGN/HEADER/THEME RELATED QUESTIONS
How do you make your headers/Do you have any advice on how to make my fic headers/theme look nicer?
See this post I made!
What do you use to make your headers?
Photoshop usually, Illustrator and Canva on occasion.
Where do you get your fonts?
See this post I made!
Can you recommend any apps for editing?
See this post I made!
What are your favorite fonts?
I answered an ask about this recently!
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT ME
What do you do when you're not writing?
Three S's: Studying, Sleeping, Socializing... Mostly the sleeping part, I like getting at least 8 hours, 10 if I'm lucky! I write slowly because when I get free time to write, I decide to just sleep. Oops!
What other games do you play?
I don't really have the time these days (which is why I like games like TWST, easy to play and let run), but I'm into off the top of my head:
Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Rune Factory/Anything Farming tbh, Persona (especially Persona 3!!! FEMC my most beloved), Animal Crossing, Minecraft, Terraria, Style Savvy, Sims, and a bunch of casual and tycoon games
For Gachas, I don't play much anymore aside from TWST, but I still enjoy content from: Love Live!, Project Sekai, Fate Grand Order, Ensemble Stars, Obey Me (though mostly Mammon), Genshin (but mostly Lumine + Aether + Dainsleif + Paimon), D4DJ
Do you play TWST JP?
Have not touched my account in months because for the life of me I hate having to log into my JP apple ID to update the app
YOU'RE FILIPINO????
Kaloka kayo OO FILIPINO AKO ano ba yan... Bat ba kayo nagugulat WAHAHAHAHA /lighthearted lang di ako galit mwah!

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks....
Thank you for the question!
That's such a hard question to answer because there are so many characters I love. But right now my top 10 would be (in no permanent order bcs I'm indecisive like that, this is literally just in the order that I thought of them)
1. Nakahara Chuuya (Bungo Stray Dogs) - I have never loved a character the way I love this man. I'm not sure how exactly I started liking him or why but he's been my number one favourite for a long time.
2. Jesper Fayhey (Six of Crows/Shadow and Bone) - I recently read the duology and then watched the show. After the books I liked him but after the show, I was obsessed. I really like his vibe and just his whole flirtatious act. I love watching him start to understand himself better through his character arc.
3. Wylan Van Eck (Six of Crows/Shadow and Bone) - I absolutely loved his POVs in the second book. I really related to him and just loved the depth of his backstory and just love him as a character.
4. Beidou (Genshin Impact ) - Pirate mommy. That's all I have. I just love her.
5. Shinya Hiragi (Owari no Seraph) - This is another one of those I got fixated and never got over it type of faves. I don't even remember why I love him. All I know is I do.
6. Madeline Hatter (Ever After High) - This show was my childhood and I still have an unhealthy attachment to her. I think I just really liked the randomness of her character and just the wonderland vibes.
7. Cherry Blossom (SK8 the Infinity) - I love his hair first and foremost. And I love his role as a mentor to reki and langa.
8. Chigiri Hyoma (Bluelock) - Again, my first obsession was his hair. But I really related to the feeling of being scared of failing at your passion.
9. Mikage Reo (Bluelock) - I love his dynamic with Nagi and his fear of abandonment. I love him so much.
10. Mereoleona Vermillion (Black Clover) - Hot strong woman who can beat my ass <3
Honarable mentions - Rindou Haitani (Tokyo Revengers
Will Solace (Riordanverse)
Shota Aizawa (BNHA)
Haruki Nakayama (Given)
Illumi Zoldyck (Hunter X Hunter ) - I had a thing for his hair and his hair alone
I tried really hard to give reasons but honestly 99 percent of the time I just like their vibe and/or their hair ✌️

Ann's 2022 Wrapped pt 2(A)
So, here's part 2 with my yearly recap in fandom that I'm guessing you all will like more, the FANFICTION RECOMMENDATIONS!!
Top fics of this year
According the ao3 wrapped, I've managed to read as many as 3.5k fanfics this year, which roughly amounts to 10 fics a day �� and a total of 115 MILLION word over the span of a year, which is amazing, considering all the time I've spent working in the hospital (because yes I was an intern), studying AND playing Genshin.
Since I'm tasking myself to rec fics from as many of the fandoms i read fics for (of which there are many), I'll limit myself, and it proved to be as hard I had thought it would be.
My list is in no way even close to an exhaustive fic rec list for the pairing. It has some gems to get you started if you're new to the ship, or some fics to re-read, if you've already read these. If there is a podfic of the fic, I'll include that too! Podfics deserve more love and are a boon, allowing us to listen to our favourite stories while doing other work or playing games! They're one of the top reasons I've not fallen asleep while completing exploration in Genshin Impact lol.
In the m/m fics, i don't write the ship name with the top/bottom fixed in mind as i always headcanon them as versatile. (I know some people like to read fixed dynamics for certain ships, so this is just a fyi for them.)
Do check the tags of the fics before reading and check the author's pages for further fics to read!
All fics are complete unless mentioned otherwise.
Fandoms/Ships covered:
1. Draco/Hermione from Harry Potter
2. Merlin/Arthur from BBC Merlin
3. Peter Parker/Johnny Storm from Spiderman and The Fantastic Four comics
4. Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale from Teen Wolf
5. Namjoon centric BTS fics
6. Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto
7. James Bond/Q from James Bond (Craig) movies
Covered in part 2(B) because too many links lol
8. Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew from Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series
9. Prapai/Sky from Love in the Air
10. Batman / Red Robin comics
11. Miscellaneous fic recs
Pairing: Draco/Hermione aka Dramione from Harry Potter
Fuck JKR and any and all transphobes. Her world of HP was the first serious series that i read and grew up with, so the emotional attachment i have with this series is a lot. So while i don't support her in any way or form, fanfics are fair game for me.
I discovered Dramione when i started reading fanfiction and came across this rather lovely dramione fanfiction called Simply Irresistible that opened my eyes to the pairing. I'd always liked Draco as a character with unrealised potential. And Hermione is and always has been my favourite character from HP. The sweet sweet potential of Dramione combined with the excellent fanfics on ffnet dragged me in and hasn't let me go even now, to be honest. This pairing has so many EXCELLENT fics i simply can't even think of picking my top fics. So I'm just listing the top 6 dramione fics i re-read every year.
1. Rewritten in Time series by ScotlandEvander Rated T
Scared and tired, Draco Malfoy decides to take matters into his own hands. Using a potion, he travels back in time, finds himself in his eleven year old body with all his memories from the past seventeen years. Using this knowledge, he sets out change time. His first mission: befriend Harry Potter. His second: Keep Harry from doing death defying acts. (Turns out harder than Draco had envisioned.)
A Draco centric Harry potter time travel fix-it! It's one of my favourite Harry potter fic to read, and offers the full experience from first to seventh year. Features an OC who is important to the story but not part of the main pairing. It's a fun series that is a slow burn with the dramione as they don't get together till a lot later.
The fix-it version of Harry is hilarious, especially as the years progress. Features lots of friendship moments between the characters and the romance is slow and subtle with hints throughout the series. I try to re-read this whole series atleast once a year.
2. Rewriting Destiny by WaitForTheSnitch Rated General Audiences
They all thought after Voldemort's fall that the world would get better. But they were wrong. The Death Eaters used politics to accomplish what Voldemort never could. And with the dwindling Wizarding population and no one left to fight, there's only one solution: to go back in time to before Voldemort rose to power, and fix what broke the first time around. Time Travel AU
Features Draco and Hermione as time travellers that go back in time to make sure Voldemort never rises to power. I love how the author writes the characters, and their interactions with each other. I'm a goner for good world building and this fic delivers in SPADES.
3. Measure of a Man by inadaze22 Rated E
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.
It is a post-hogwarts dramione EWE (epilogue what epilogue for those unaware of the term) fic with Hermione being tasked to take care of a rather unique case, and during the process, she learns and grows.
It is NOT a short fic at all, clocking in at almost 600k, and it is SLOW burn, that sometimes is a long low simmering roast. Narcissa in this fic is amazing. I personally wouldn't recommend this to be read in one sitting, and with having some fluff fics on standby for the in between breaks because it is heavy in places.
*Funnily enough all the fics I'm recommending above are LONG as fuck fics clocking in atleast 100k words or more. I really love reading long fics*
4. The Eagle's Nest by HeartOfAspen Rated E
Hermione's eighth year at Hogwarts is already going to be difficult in the aftermath of the war, but is further thrown into upheaval when Headmistress McGonagall orders a re-sorting of all students to promote inter-house unity. But when the Sorting Hat sends Hermione to Ravenclaw with Draco - and without Harry or Ron - how will she cope? [Epilogue? What epilogue?] Prevalent alchemy.
I love eighth year dramione fics! They have so many possibilities, with most commonly having Hermione coming back alone to Hogwarts without Harry or Ron.
In this fic, both Draco and Hermione discover the hidden depths in the other, especially Hermione, coming to know more about Draco as they progress through their eighth year at Hogwarts.
5. The Gloriana Set by ThebeMoon Rated E
The War is won, and Hermione Granger is back at Hogwarts as an “Eighth Year”, feeling reckless and determined to shed her prim bookworm persona. She will do as she pleases, and anyone who doesn’t like it will see the business end of her wand. Also returning is Draco Malfoy, universally hated but determined to restore his family’s name. Hermione’s hopes for a quiet school year are quickly dashed as she contends with mischievous First Years, killer plants, enchanted hair accessories, a totally inappropriate Moaning Myrtle, renegade Death Eaters, a nice vampire, a poorly named study group, a depraved party, and mysterious, threatening blood messages on the castle walls. We have redemption, partial redemption and (sadly or hilariously) no redemption at all. Throw in a snarky, disturbingly attractive Draco with his own secret agenda, and we have a very slow-burn Dramione with a side of who-dun-it.
This is one of my favourite eighth year dramione fics that keeps you engrossed throughout the fic and it also has a in progress podfic that can be found here.
6. Chronos Historia by In_Dreams
Hermione and Draco stumble upon a mysterious portal and find themselves hurtled back through time a thousand years. Forced to team up to find a way home, they quickly realize that much of the history they believed to be fact, wasn't true after all. A founders era, time travel Dramione.
As it says on the tin, with such an interesting take on the founders, i was intrigued. It was also my first founders era fic.
While this next fic isn't strictly a dramione but a Draco/Hermione/Theo fic so i couldn't resist but add this in, it's a personal favourite. It's spicy and a very well written throuple polyamourous fic, with the characters playing nicely off each other and another eighth year fic as well!
7. Sugar and Spice by InLoveWithForever
Contrary to what she claimed, it wasn’t grass and new parchment and spearmint toothpaste she smelled.
A mind-boggling amalgamation of confusion followed by a peripheral realization, and then instantaneous fear made her flush so severely that the room went fuzzy around the edges of her vision as she choked out the lie.
It was old parchment housed in the restricted section, tart green apples, and something spicy—not cinnamon, cloves?—that lingered inside her nostrils. She was woozy, her lids drooping heavily, even as a small part of her brain screamed at how wrong this was. A larger, louder part of her shoved the shame down in favor of baser instincts. Those instincts dampened and dissipated and the shame crowded in the further removed she was from the delicate, unmistakable scent wafting from the cauldron.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon aka Merthur from BBC Merlin
Despite knowing about this show since 2014 (blame this hellsite) i only got the chance to watch this show in 2016 and boy did i fall headlong in love with this show and it's characters. I love that the fandom still remains active to this day, even a decade after this show ended.
And we all cry hysterically every Christmas Eve because that ENDING 😭 or maybe that's just me lol and the i reread that one post canon fic because i want to feel. And that leads to my first rec,
1. And like the cycle of the year, we begin again by katherynefromphilly Rated E
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love
It is part of a lovely series, We Begin Again which i read every year atleast once, it's a classic masterpiece that fulfils my S6 dreams.
2. Evil Overlord, Inc. by Footloose, mushroomtale Rated E
Merlin is a recent graduate with a double doctorate in metaphysics and physics. Arthur is a low-level paper pusher with a desk in the sub-basement of MI5. They live in a world with ridiculous laws and restrictions against anyone who might be supernatural in any way, shape, or design.
Merlin has huge debts looming over this head, a few quid left in his bank account, and no job prospects. Arthur is pushing thirty, in a dead-end job with no chances of promotion to fieldwork agent, and is thoroughly bored with his life.
One ill-advised Craigslist advert, five pushy mates, one nosy all-knowing sister, and a hacked email account later, Merlin and Arthur take the world by storm.
(Or, more precisely, they take over the world.)
It is one of my most favourite Merlin fics coming from the minds of the godly duo of Footloose and mushroomtale with excellent story, GORGEOUS art and bamf!Merlin and bamf!Arthur.
I'm honestly down bad for the art in this fic, especially spectacled Arthur and the art makes me feel things. If you ever find any Merthur fic, with either of the two author's involved in it's creation, it's a must read.
3. Shadow lord and Pirate King by Footloose, mushroomtale Rated E
A fast ship, a good crew, a treasure, a Clan to lead -- that's all Arthur Pendragon has ever wanted. He sits on the Council, he supports his father's kingship, and he keeps an eye on the Imperial Conglomerate when they come too close to Pirate space.
One day the Conglomerate infiltrates the Clans and poisons the King. Arthur must search for a cure to keep his father alive and the Clans from civil war.
An escape route, a sharp knife, a target, the shadows at his command -- that's all Merlin has ever needed. He fulfills his assignments, he uses the Sterling to sustain his once-royal House in their exile, and wages a private war against the Imperial Conglomerate.
When he learns of an elaborate plot to assassinate him, Merlin does the opposite of what's expected. He flees onto a Pirate ship.
There's a saying among the Pirates: that one's fate is written in the stars. Destiny will always set to rights what has been made wrong.
Arthur and Merlin know that they were meant for the other from the moment they meet. They can feel it from across the galaxies separating them. Nothing can stop them from being together or from fulfilling an ancient prophecy.
Another beautiful fic with gorgeous art, featuring space pirate!Arthur, ninja assassin!Merlin, secrets, plots for revolution and so much more packed in a nice long story with sizzling chemistry and GORGEOUS art.
The art for this fic graced my phone as wallpaper for a long while and if shipping wasn't like sky high i would have bought merch for the fic art, I'm serious.
4. Loaded March series by Footloose Rated E
Captain Arthur Pendragon has put together the best team of specialists that the SAS has ever seen, but when his superiors assign Lieutenant Merlin Emrys as his communications officer, Arthur does everything to make him feel unwelcome. Arthur's job is to protect and guide his team through dangerous missions, and he worries that he can't do that when the newest member has a mysterious background and acts suspicious when he thinks no one is looking.
As their assignments become more dangerous, Merlin can't help but to use his magic to keep his team -- even his prat of a Captain -- safe from threats they couldn't possibly understand. But when they are sent on a undercover operation against a group of zealots intent on a magical apocalypse, Merlin needs to confront his fear of discovery and derision, and to finally trust his team with his secret.
Arthur and Merlin rely on each other for more than the sake of their mission. The entire world is at stake. When they learn -- from dragons, no less -- that they are prophesied to restore the balance of magic to the world, they fight on regardless of the outcome, because duty, honour and loyalty is a far stronger driving force than destiny.
A completed series featuring Arthur, Merlin and the other knights as part of an elite SAS unit with the varying adventures they face that clocks in at almost 1.3 million words, it's a good, LONG read that'll absorb you thoroughly if you aren't careful and you'll emerge as a changed person.
It also has a in progress podfic, which has the first 5 stories in podfic form, which you can listen to here.
Actually do yourself a favor and go to both of these author's ao3 pages and read ALL of their Merlin fic and also fics they've written for other fandoms if they interest you, because otherwise I'll just keep on listing their fics throughout lmao.
5. Gadarene by unpossible Rated E
“You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
“You don’t seem mad,” he says.
The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”
This is also a very unique Merlin fic, that deals with reluctant slave master Arthur and slave Merlin working together to take down the villian, with lots of intrigue, lot of sexy times and a little coup, for added flavour.
Also has a lovely podfic !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pairing: Peter Parker/Johnny Storm aka Spideytorch from The Amazing Spiderman and The Fantastic Four comics
I've read the Spiderman comics as a teen and was introduced to the fantastic four via those. Peter's friendship with Johnny, especially their bantering is top class. Definitely see the spideytorch queen @traincat blog with their posts on Spiderman, fantastic four and Spideytorch, with this and this (being posts on why Spideytorch? and the second one has a brief comic book timeline of Spideytorch. I personally prefer comic book Peter Parker, fyi but i don't hate mcu!Peter. Also traincat has written many of the gems in this pairing so do check out their ao3 as well!!
1. Tales From The Back Pages by Traincat Rated T
Peter Parker was born with his words. Johnny Storm's been sure his will be said sarcastically since he was a child. Everything else more or less happens according to plan.
A first words soulmate AU.
This is a pretty good fic for those new to Spideytorch in general and is a rather lovely fic. It is basically Marvel 616 Spiderman and the Human Torch but with soulmates. I personally have read it soo many times i can recite parts of this fic from memory.
2. Work Song by Traincat Rated E
Peter Parker has his company, more money than he knows what to do with, and the echoes of a ghost in his head. Johnny Storm's lost his family, his home, and is clinging to the remnants of his old life.
"I’m here with you. That’s not nothing, right?”
“No,” Peter agreed. It definitely felt like something, all the way up here with Johnny so close they were almost touching.
Peter looked at him, at the full lips set in a slight frown, the sharp curve of his jaw, the way his hair fell across his forehead. He fit all the dazzling lights around them, warm like sunshine even in the middle of the night.
“Beautiful,” Peter said before he could stop himself.
This fic requires you to be a bit more familiar with the comic timeline, but in essence, (comic book spoilers ahead) in one of the comic book runs of Spiderman, there's a time when all of the fantastic four except Johnny Storm have vanished and Peter buys up the Baxter building (the F4's home) and he's pretty rich in this because a while before this he had discovered that doctor octavius had taken over Peter's actions via *science ish mind control' with him making a major company and everything.
It kinda has glucose guardian Peter vibes as well and some references to non con as well (not between the main characters). It is one of my favourite fics by Traincat and honestly if you're even somewhat familiar with the spideytorch comic book timeline, i can't rec this fic enough!
3. Always Glad You Came by aloneintherain Rated T
Spider-Man is a relatively new, controversial vigilante, and Johnny has a crush the size of the Empire Building. The Four - operating under the assumption that Spidey is an adult - do not approve.
“I just happen to think Spider-Man's cool,” Johnny says, matter-of-factly. “A hero can think another hero is cool without making it weird. I admire his aloofness. And his badass-ness.”
“His aloofness,” Ben repeats, chuckling into his mug of beer. It’s roughly the size of Johnny’s head. “Yeah, sure, I bet that’s all your admire, right?"
While i usually prefer comic book Spidey, this one is mcu Spideytorch, with teen!Peter and teen!Johnny that is one of my favourite mcu Peter fics.
4. Spideytorch series by mizzy
A series of unrelated fics about my OTP, Peter Parker/Johnny Storm.
This series has some of my favourite Spideytorch fics not written by Traincat and of all of the fics in the series, my personal favourite has to be without a hitch.
This series is based on comic book canon, rather than mcu so do keep that in mind! It's a must read collection of Spideytorch fics!!
5. Better in Picture by weekend_conspiracy_theorist Rated Teen and Up
In which Peter Parker has no interest in sleeping with Matt Murdock, no matter what anyone seems to think.
Despite what it seems, it really is a Spideytorch fic! It has representation of one of the most underrated friendships of Peter and that is his friendship with Matt Murdock aka Daredevil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pairing: Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale aka Sterek from Teen Wolf
I've read fics for this pairing for a year of two before even actually watching the show a year or so back lol. Reading up on the history of the pairing, thankfully i wasn't the only one who saw this ship as possible in the show (before the makers betrayed us fans). But yeah, I've always been down for bad boys in leather jackets with a heart of gold and Derek was a perfect fit. Plus Stiles stole my heart in the first episode. Scott, while a fine character, was written with a bit too much of the protagonist's halo effect for my tastes, if that makes sense, but that's just my opinion.
1. Play It Again by metisket Rated T
In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.
“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”
It's a time and dimension travel fix-it fic, featuring soft!Derek, kick-ass!laura and lot of realisations on Stiles' part.
Comes with a Podfic
2. Gravity's Got Nothing on You by zosofi Rated E
“Three weeks,” Derek says.
“Still don’t want to,” Stiles says.
“I’ll pay you,” Derek says, and that… that has Stiles interested. Alf’s Antique’s may be a great job, but it’s not a high-paying job, and half of Stiles’s tuition is coming from financial aid, so…
“How much,” Stiles asks, “are we talking here? Because I know your family, dude. And it’ll be kind of awkward after.“
“My family thinks you’re some sort of fucking gift to the world,” Derek seethes, like he’s jealous, “they’ll probably be pissed at me when we break it off, so don’t worry about that. Five hundred bucks.”
“A thousand,” Stiles says, because screw ethics. Also, the Hale family is loaded. Derek can deal.
Or, the one where the Hale fire never happened, Laura is a nosy sister, Derek is desperate, and Stiles is the only one that can help. It's a fake dating au that is a comfort read of mine.
Also as a Podfic
3. Stop Crossing Oceans by greenleaf Rated M
“There are no absolutes, Scott! No hard rights or hard wrongs! The world doesn’t fucking work that way and we can’t afford to think like that, because people are going to die! We signed up for that the moment we got involved with all this!”
“We? We?” Scott hisses. “Don’t you think you? Don’t forget that you’re the one who dragged us into that forest the night it all started, Stiles. So if it’s anyone’s fault, it’s yours.”
Something inside Stiles cracks, so strong and so deep that he practically hears it.
A look into a what-if Stiles and Scott's ideological differences are so much that it fractures the friendship between Stiles and Scott and Stiles chooses Derek over Scott.
4. Stuck in Reverse by crazyassmurdererwall (smartalli) Rated E
Look, Derek is the worst. Everyone knows that. Their fearless leader is a total and complete failwolf.
Which means the rest of them? Are kind of the worst too. They’re a ramshackle, slap dashed, sorry excuse for a pack that’s about a half second away from getting one of them killed. And this is a problem, because Stiles would really like to survive high school. Thanks.
Still, nobody deserves what Derek has gone through. Nobody.
And it’s about time somebody told him that.
Stiles decides enough is enough and somewhat ought to appreciate Derek and make sure someone cares for him, and in the process, makes friends with Jackson and unites the pack into a much more cohesive team.
5. Will to Follow Through by owlpostagain Rated E
“It depends entirely on how you look at it, I guess,” Stiles shrugs. “On the one hand, instant healing and the apparently inherited ability to pull off leather at all times. On the other, serious attitude problems and a suspicious disappearance of eyebrows.”
“Even Derek’s?” Danny snorts, “that’s a lot of eyebrow to lose.”
“I know,” Stiles agrees. “You should see, it’s so weird. Every time I want to ask him where they go, except he’d totally eat my face off.”
“There are worse ways to die.”
Deals with the in-transition state of Stiles' crush on Lydia to his crush on Derek, featuring a solid friendship trio of Stiles, Lydia and Danny.
Also has a Podfic (locked, so requires an ao3 account to access).
---------------–-------------------------------------------------------------
Pairing: BTS featuring Namjoon centric fics only
I'll admit that I haven't read much of new BTS fics since 2020, so this might be a bit dated, but all of these are solid gold. There'll be only 1 per Namjoon ship and 1 OT7 fic, which was a MASSIVE STRUGGLE I tell you, because there are SO MANY good ones, except for the OT7 fic, that one I knew instantly.
1. Kim Namjoon|RM/Kim Seokjin|Jin aka Namjin :
I cheated. I chose 2 by the same author metastacia BECAUSE I COULDN'T CHOOSE, both of these are SO SO GOOD. Both have excellent plot, world-building, pacing and will suck you in till you finish it all. I have followed both fics from their first chapter to their last and let me tell you each chapter update was an EVENT on my tl, with discussions, theories, everything. So many of us laughed and cried to these chapters and i personally remember the eager anticipation of reading it!
The Shaman and The Exorcist Rated M
Seokjin doesn't believe in ghosts. Which would cause a huge uproar if everyone knew since he's kind of a big deal at his university; he's a shaman who protects people from evil spirits. He doesn't remember where he got the idea to do this from, all he knows is that superstitious people pay good money.
Namjoon does believe in ghosts. Better yet, he can see them and he can expel them. But there's a certain phoney shaman at his university who's stealing all his clients in his exorcism business, and he's not happy about it because haunted people pay good money.
So, what do they do? Figure out whose closet is holding all the skeletons, of course.
KAIROTIC Rated M
The Grim Reaper, they called him. He was the weird kid in school who knew exactly when someone’s mother was about to die. They didn’t believe him when he’d said it, and they didn’t believe him when he said he wasn’t a psychic, and they didn’t believe him when he said he didn’t cause her death.
The Grim Reaper, they still sometimes call him. Legendary trial lawyer who became known for weeding out the bad guy no one else suspected and putting them in prison. It was almost like he had a sixth sense for it. Like no one was safe from him. Like the black cloud of death still follows him around and no matter how much he tries to shake it off, it doesn’t let go.
Seokjin wonders at what point death had stopped following him around, and at what point he’d started to become death itself.
in which Seokjin can see everyone's lifespan floating above their heads, numbers steadily counting down to their deaths. the numbers never change, or so he thought.
2. Kim Namjoon|RM/ Min Yoongi|Suga aka Namgi:
What rhymes with pug me by sequoiasem Rated T
namjoon and yoongi share a sweater (and also some feelings)
This fic is like a warm hug when you're feeling meh or like sitting by the fireplace wrapped in your cozy blanket with a cup of hot cocoa on a winter night.
THE FEELS
3. Kim Namjoon|RM/Jung Hoseok|J-Hope aka Namseok
The Universe Needs More You by AttilaTheHun Rated M
Kim Namjoon is in love, and Jung Hoseok is always dating someone else. This is perfectly fine, even preferable, because the universe likes to tell jokes and Namjoon knows it's best just to laugh along. He's certainly got nothing to complain about when it comes to the building blocks of his life, and dating is a lot of effort. Too much effort, really. So it's obviously fine.
But the universe's latest attempt at a comedy sketch, where Hoseok moves in with him, bringing the sun and a lot of tiny shorts, might actually make him insane.
We all need a little slow burn lovely namseok in our lives.
4. Kim Namjoon|RM/Park Jimin|Jimin aka Minjoon
things we turn away from by themarmalade Rated M
Jimin, beloved by thousands and starved for affection, finds what he craves so deeply in his massage therapist's hands and very intriguing side job.
This will feel like a long long hug, especially if you're feeling touch starved.
5. Kim Namjoon|RM/Kim Taehyung|V aka Taejoon
Hurt Locker by MmeIrene Rated E
Kim Namjoon, college student and outspoken omega, decides that he doesn't want an alpha to help him through his next heat.
Kim Seokjin, best friend, decides that is a Very Bad Idea.
This is my favourite Taejoon fic EVER, with soft and sexy times in equal quantities.
6. Kim Namjoon|RM/Jeon Jungkook aka Namkook
come take it (if you want a piece of me) by babyblue(rhnull)
Jimin forces Jungkook to make a Tinder, and there's no way that profile of Kim Namjoon is real.
Self indulgent, Namkook fluff with pining makes for a lovely read.
7. Kim Namjoon/Everyone aka OT7
What I Did On My Summer Vacation, by Kim Namjoon, Age 18 ½ by Runchrandom(infraredphaeton)
On his gap year, Kim Namjoon accidentally joins a gang, takes over that gang, becomes the leader of the South Korean Underworld, publishes his first mix tape and gets six criminal boyfriends. It's a busy twelve months.
-
"Hey, you're Rap Monster, right?"
"...Yeah."
"You're really cool, man! I've been listening to you for ages!" the guy practically bounces over the body, slinging an arm around Namjoon's shoulders. "You got a crew?"
Namjoon shakes his head slowly.
"Well, we can fix that."
My absolute favourite BTS fic of ALL time, that I re-read ATLEAST once a year. This author has written many excellent Namjoon centric fics, so rest assured you're in for a treat.
Features smart as hell Namjoon who somehow finds himself as the head of the Seoul underground and six boyfriends, and it all started with sucker punching someone in the face. Interested? Read on!
Pairing: Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto aka Sasunaru from Naruto
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A classic pairing, which for many, as well as me, was their first anime m/m ship, if not their m/m ship ever. There's something hilarious that kishimoto, who wrote the women in Naruto so inconsistently and despite never wanting to, created a friendship that was so deep and with such homoerotic undertones, it surpasses the bond that the 'canon' heterosexual pairings have 😂
1. Kizuna Hikari by YoungAndOverIntelligent Rated M
The only reason Sasuke keeps coming back to Konoha is because of that mattress. The bed is his only respite. And perhaps the dumbass who owns said bed might be worth it, too.
Or, another canon divergence 699 that showers Sasuke with too much (deserved) love and attention that we all need for these unprecedented times.
Title means "Bonded Light". It'll make sense when you're about 100K in.
Remember the trope, "there was only one bed" ? This author took the trope and fit in 204k words of healing and feelings and character growth along with it that just moves you.
Sequel has POVs from the other characters as this one is from Sasuke's POV.
2. backslide by blackkat Rated M
Naruto’s friends are gone, his lover is dying, Konoha is destroyed, and Madara’s second return has pushed the entire world to the brink. Hunted and harried, Naruto is sent back in time to upend Madara’s plan before it even starts, and sets about changing everything. Butterfly effect nothing: the world is at stake, and Naruto is hardly about to let it fall to ruin once more. Not while he’s still breathing.
It's a time-travel fix it fic that has a not exactly unique concept, but the author portrays the characters so vividly they will stick in your mind forever.
It also has a Podfic by the awesome Opalsong (who is a prolific podficcer, check them out as well!) that is one of my favourite podfics to listen to, especially while traveling.
3. An Invincible Summer by ShanaStoryteller Rated T
When Naruto is five, he's gutted by a drunken civilian and presumed dead.
Six months later a girl with ash pale hair and dark blue eyes enters the Academy.
As you can see by now, I love my canon fix-its and this is that as well, but involving the Sexy no jutsu in a way I didn't imagine before reading this fic.
Naruto (or as she's known in this fic, Natsu Nami) is a bamf whose bonds with genin team and kakashi are a highlight of this fic.
Also has a Podfic
4. Forces of Gravity by Anxiety_Pickle Not Rated
The Rinnegan is hardly well understood; at the end of the world, Sasuke Uchiha takes a gamble.
In one world, Madara Uchiha wins. Sasuke escapes by the skin of his teeth and flees to the nearest dimension. Unfortunately, he has quite a few unintended passengers. Stranded five years in the past with the Akatsuki and the all too real threat of global extinction at his back, he decides that he'll be the one to stop the apocalypse - even if that means taking on the Akatsuki himself.
A time travel-dimension travel-canon divergence Uchiha Sasuke centric fix-it fic that has pretty good world-building. My favourite part of this fic are Sasuke's hawk summons! They're so interesting and lovely to read.
5. Corporate Secrets by Kizukatana Rated E
Everyone knew that Uzumaki Naruto was a businessman you didn't mess with. He was charismatic and able to win deals that left others wondering how they'd been talked into what they'd just signed. He was held up as an example of everything an alpha should be: strong, charismatic, and commanding. What they could never have expected was that Naruto was not, in fact, an alpha. In a society run by alphas, it was a secret that he kept closely guarded. As long as he never encountered his True Mate, he could keep his identity concealed behind scent blockers and suppressants. And with billions of people in the world, he didn't really have to worry about finding his True Mate. Right? Even if he did, Naruto was sure he would just kick the guy's ass and move on. He'd never met an alpha he was attracted to, or one that could match him. He wasn't worried at all.
Requires an AO3 account to access, but TOTALLY worth it.
One of my favourite A/B/O fics ever that has a pretty good world-building with respect to the trope and the characterization.
But then again, it is by KizuKatana, who along with blackkat (author of fic 2 in the Sasunaru rec list) are some of the most prolific authors in the Sasunaru fic-dom, who have written awesome as hell fics, so do check out their profiles!
Pairing: James Bond/Q aka 00Q from the Craig James Bond movies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love me some hardened spy and some bespectacled boffin being a pair of bamfs together. I'm still not clear why exactly why I started shipping this, oh wait, i know, that ENTIRE scene in Q's office where he calmly takes that gun from James.
1. Ordinary Numbers by BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria Rated T
More than anything, Mike Taylor wanted to be ordinary. Being a genius, he learned early in life, meant people expected too much. A career at the MI6 Help Desk seemed the perfect way to guarantee a lifetime of obscurity, until he got a very unusual tech support call.
Requires ao3 account to read
🤌🏻 chef's kiss of a fic🤌🏻
Also has a lovely podfic which i love to listen to often.
2. Important Dates by AtoTheBean Rated E
After a brief attempt at retirement, James is back at MI6 and working hard to rebuild working relationships with his colleagues and friends. And he's making great strides.
Only Q continues to hold him at arm's length, maintaining a stubborn professionalism in their interactions that James remains unable to pierce.
But James doesn't want Q at arm's length, and so he takes a risk. But even a spy's instincts can run amok, and now James wonders just how long he'll be reaping what he's sown, and how many holidays it will take to win Q over.
A post Spectre fic, with Bond seeking to make amends with Q, but only to be met with resistance. A fic set in important holidays in Bond and Q's life, has groveling bond, something i enjoy reading any time.
3. Quriosity by dr_girlfriend Rated E
Bond finds himself increasingly curious about his enigmatic Quartermaster.
Excerpt:
"Your prior hotel is no longer secure, I will direct you to a new location. Your luggage has already been transferred. A field agent and medic from the Diréction Générale de la Sécurité d'État will be waiting at the side entrance. I have cleared them both personally." In contrast to his crisp dry English, Q's pronunciation of the French words was fluid and flawless, the throaty tone of the fricatives sending a surprising jolt of awareness straight to Bond's cock — all the more remarkable given his degree of blood loss.
"You're wasted on Q-branch, you have the voice for a phone-sex call-in line." The words slipped out of Bond's mouth without forethought, although he had plenty of time to think in the sudden pause that came afterward and stretched on for endless moments. Bond hadn't realized until now how Q was always there, with an immediate reply. In all their banter Q had never before been at a loss for words. Ever.
4. Redamancy by opalescentgold Rated M
If you write something on your skin, then it will show up on your soulmate's skin as well.
James doesn't quite fall in love over physics discussions and cheeky book quotes scrawled over his heart, coding and riddles inked onto his skin, but he comes close. He does.
And then he actually meets Q.
This is a soulmate AU with Holmes!Q that starts pre-Spectre and is a spectre fix-it that fits so many feelings in it, it's no wonder it's so long.
5. Red Queen to Overwatch by BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria Rated M
After returning from the dead, James Bond moves into a new secure flat, only to find that his new neighbour is either: a scruffy teenager, a brilliant computer geek, a mad scientist, or the sexiest genius he's ever met. Two of these things turn out to be true.
Well, three, once the Red Queen gets involved.
Another beautiful, beautiful fic featuring Holmes!Q, that was one of my first 00Q fics and still remain in my top fics for this pairing.

I'm. Going to have to be honest for a second. I thiiiiink it was frans. In my defense I think I was like 13 and did not know any better. I obviously do not stand by this ship anymore LOL
H: what is your favorite source text for fandom stuff
Video games hands down bc they actually engage me and I'm usually expected to play by myself
Also I'm very normal about how game mechanics and lore interact
X: top 5-10 characters I will die defending:
Ok I'm going to have to think about this one uh
Aventurine has very quickly reached blorbo status hoyo wrote one hell of a character and it has worked on me
Jing Yuan. That man did nothing wrong. I love him.
Temenos Mistral. Bastard man beloved. I want him to do more blasphemy it's funny
Baizhu Genshin. I'm a big fan of immortality and life force fuckery and I support this man and his best friend snake in all his probably unethical lifespan extending endeavors even if he will 100% fail and die young (sad) (that's what headcanon is for)
Objectively Arlecchino has done a lot of horrid things but in my heart they were all justified because she is incredibly hot. I dunno if that counts tho
This is one of my older fandoms buuuuut nie huaisang is also in the objective atrocity category. I don't think he's hot but he still did no wrong in my eyes every last bit of that plan was deserved including and especially the murder methods
Oh wait. Vildred epic 7. I forgot about him because I've been struggling to find e7 fandom people. Sure he killed a lot of people and tried to end the world but it made sense in his position ok I am very normal (real)

Thanks for answering my ask before. If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, who are your top 10 favorite characters (can be from books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......
HAHHA don't worry these asks are fun and i enjoy them so don't apologize for giving me a good time. i do apologise for taking such a long time w these asks, im actually horrible at articulating my thoughts (which is why i am not a writer HA) i think i might be forgetting some characters, or maybe i just dont have alot of faves
1. itoshi rin (blue lock)
i feel like he sticks out like a sore thumb here but he's very much no. 1... something about him being an antisocial introverted hater with abandonment issues, but also has skills to back up his arrogance and (besides all the hate he lets fester within him) actually has a pretty healthy lifestyle.
2. itadori yuuji (jujutsu kaisen)
everything about yuuji is so inherently GOOD and it both interests + pains me to see him being put through all these trials and tribulations of a dark shonen mc 😭
3. gojo satoru (jujutsu kaisen)
i think, like rin, what makes him so interesting is that he has this arrogant and disrespectful personality but then again he's literally the strongest so you cant do jack shit about it. but on the other hand he's this playful goofy (incapable) teacher who spoils his students. i also love OP (to the point it dont make sense) characters.
4. dazai osamu (bungo stray dogs)
i find his inability to be truly happy in any universe fascinating.
5. tachihara michizo (bungo stray dogs)
if i explained it would be major spoilers for s4 and s5 of bsd so i'll just say that his contribution to the plot in the recent seasons really did it for me. the jump from s1 to s4 was a KICK.
6. mikage reo (blue lock)
he's a sopping wet sock. i think this is what people call a gap moe... this perfect, highly capable and charming individual turns into the most pathetic instance of man when his best friend leaves him.
7. giorno giovanna (jojo's bizarre adventure: golden wind)
his birth origins are alr wild. his stand is wild. his battle strategies are wild. his ending is wild. he (alongside jotaro) is probably the least expressive but his personality is so unique lol. a lil rascal.
8. kita shinsuke (haikyuu!!)
its been a while since anyone has mentioned haikyuu for me but kita remains as one of my fav characters LOL i think he's just very refreshing since the cast is full of hungry teenage monsters eager to win and he's almost like a breeze of calm HAHA. the inarizaki team is also very dear to me bcs theyre packed w such cool and strong characters that interact dynamically lol
9. tsukumo yuki (jujutsu kaisen)
honestly, she was the most interesting female character in jujutsu kaisen (for me) until gege decided to trash her. her appearances from todo's flashbacks to her in shibuya were all so badass, plus shes a good example of a character type i really like that radiates strong-confident-fighter aura but isnt really the brooding/dark type... but fun! ykyk. (oot but i REALLY wanted yuki at #9 bcs of her name LOL, realistically she wouldve been at #7)
10. raiden ei (genshin impact) + raiden shogun
again, another insanely OP character that it doesn't even make sense. her lore is crazy. the second raiden quest was what got me hooked (best story quest ever lol), i honestly can't pinpoint what it is from that quest since its been a while but it changed my whole perspective on her and i've been a raiden fan since. a combination of design, personality, lore, and strength (and additionally the raiden ensemble)
honorable mentions:
kaedehara kazuha, zhongli (genshin)
higashikata josuke (jojo's bizarre adventure: diamond is unbreakable)
lelouch lamperouge (code geass)
oda sakunosuke (bungou stray dogs)

I'm back with even more ships!
Here we go again on another day of posting about my ratings on different ships!
~~~~~
1. Thoma x Ayato
Rating: 100/10
I love this ship. It's adorable. Plus, they're already set up for great tropes. It's a pretty easy ship to write.
2. Chongyun x Xingqiu
Rating: 50/10
These two are adorable and I adore their dynamic so, so, so much. Another favorite of mine. Probably one of my first favorite Liyue ships.
3. Gaming x Freminet
Rating: 10/10
This one is adorable, and the ship name people came up with for them. Ugh. So cute. Lionfish? Amazing. I want to write something for them, but I still have so many other ideas to work on and I don't know if I can push something like that to the top of the list right now.
4. Wriothesley x Clorinde
Rating: 8/10
I've seen some stuff for this ship, and honestly, it's cute. I like it. Not a favorite, really, but I think these two would mesh well together and their interactions during the Archon Quest were really funny.
~~~~~
Once again, feel free to leave any suggestions you might have for future ships you'd like me to rate. I love doing this. I should post more of these more often, but I got lots on my mind and I just never feel like I have enough time to sit and think about which ships I want to post about and blah, blah, blah.
I also will probably start posting about more of the Genshin and Star Rail theories that have been floating around in my head for a while. I'd like to see what some other people's opinions on those theories are.

Twitter and Instagram are social proof websites.
They will not show your work to new audiences unless you have enough big users backing it.
Their algorithms are designed to promote a big fish and small fry dynamic.
For smaller and hobbyist artists who arent in that top 1%. This is very bad.
Its not about people finding your work. Its about posturing yourself as the next big thing. Or being hyped up by the next big thing.
Twitter will not show your content to anyone unless someone already big likes your work, or if you're part of an established circle of users that are dedicated to a specific topic and you're well known to a LOT of people within it.
Social Proof: when you have the likes, the retweets, the big high following names. Twitter's algorithm will only then start showing your work to people outside of your following.
A lot of amazing artists and creators will NEVER see growth on these platforms bc they seek to create, not gain Social Proof.
Every day I'd see some new artists or content creators blow up in numbers regularly. They know who to engage with.
As an artist, these platforms are so unhealthy.
The reveal of twitters algorithm confirms it.
You get surpressed for having MORE FOLLOWING THAN FOLLOWERS .
Its directly saying we won't show your work to others unless more people want your attention than you want theirs.
Social Proof.
I'm not stating all of this because 'I wanna be the biggest artist ever.
I'm saying you will Never Get Any Exposure on twitter at all unless you get a bigger person to retweet you, you don't follow others , or you cater specifically to a group of people and never abandon them.
For example, twitter will promote you if you're a Genshin fan art account and always cater to that Topic on Twitter.
But if you're an individual with a variety of thoughts, feelings and ideas. Twitter will surpress that.
They want to surpress anything thats not gonna be super big or focused to make room for what they feel WILL do that.
When I was strictly using Instagram and twitter I genuinely thought my art was just too mid to ever appeal to anyone outside my friends and people already following me. I considered 20 notifications to be a VERY GOOD DAY for 2 years
So I took a chance and posted on Cara, all of my art within 4 hours got this response
With only 10 followers on Cara, i got more interest in my art than my twitter accounts with 590 followers ever did.
If you're a smaller artist, try focusing on tumblr again, try cara.app. you're so much better than a website built on social proof.
If you're willing to play twitter and instagram's game however! Great! Keep it up. Ill play their game too...but!
Your art deserves to be seen without the need of a popular person to validate it.

💫🌷Hi-kar here!•°
Hi, This is Hykar and welcome to my blog where I mainly talk, write, and post about my favorite characters and sometimes the game/fiction where they are from. Welcome to my little world! You may ask me about myself but please make sure its not too personal :)!
I read Manhwas, Manhuas, Fanfictions, and Novels—I also like to watch Donghuas, Animes/Animated series, and Films. I also like to play a wide range of games (mainly adventure and building ones) such as Pokemon (Emerald), Genshin Impact, Obey Me!, Dark Corridors, Honkai Starrail, Path to nowhere, Project Sekai!, and so much more.
Overall just a person who's really into books and fiction. I also write my own novels and comics with my own characters!
🌷What I write and accept:
I write Character x Reader/OC/another character Fanfictions (Including: scenarios/imagines, oneshots, and AU's) (that will be definitely divided into parts because they will most likely going to be long) with an ACCEPTABLE trope and/or dynamic. (E.g. Rivals to Lovers, Picky-eater character x Eats everything character).
Requests are accepted! (Characters that differ from the ones I will write about may take some time because I want to understand their character first before writing).
I specialize in ANGST.
🌷What I DO NOT write and accept:
Character x Reader/OC/another character Fanfictions (Including: scenarios/imagines, oneshots, and AUs) that DO NOT have an acceptable trope and/or dynamic. (E.g. Character x Reader/OC that are siblings or have a... Jaw-dropping age gap.)
🌷What will take some time to be considered:
NSFW.
Dark Romance (It depends on what kind of Dark Romance is being implied.)
🌷SOME of my favorite characters and the game/fiction where they are from that I will post about:
Honestly, I have A LOT of favorite characters and most of them are either the side character that doesn't get a lot of screen time, dies or underrated. Sometimes all of the above. Henceforth I will be writing about them so that people that enjoy the same character I do get some more content about about them. Here are my top 3 favorites!
1. Sucheon Kang of Eleceed
2. Amajiki Tamaki of MHA/BNHA
3. Rosaria, La Signora, Arlechinno/Knave and Kaedehara Kazuha of Genshin Impact (My main too!)
4. Oliver Wood of the Harry Potter series
5. Neji Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka of Naruto
6. Sanzu Haruchiyo of Tokyo Revengers
7. Toge Inumaki of Jujutsu Kaisen
8. Tokito Muichiro of Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer
9. Kyousuke Tsurugi of Inazuma Eleven GO!
10. Simeon of Obey Me!
11. Boothill of Honkai Starrail
-Too many of them to count so I'll stop here. You may ask me who else!
🌷I have a lot of favorite Character x Character/ships but I won't list them anymore cause this post will be too long to read ㅠ ㅠ.
🌷HEADS-UP:
1. I may or may not write too often because of: Schoolwork, Writers block, Burn-out, My forgetfulness
2. Please be patient and respectful with your requests :(
3. My writing is pretty sh-t, Im sorry.
4. I edit my work sometimes which is often. (Perfectionist struggles... Jk. Maybe.)
5. I might post my opinions/thoughts in here and it might bury my works so I will keep it to a minimum, Including the reblogs.
6. I will generally refer to the reader/describe them via They/Them/Their pronouns for the reasoning that: me, as a writer does not know the reader personally, and so that my work is also accessible to everyone. This however, may or may not be applicable when it comes to a request since there are specifications.
🌷Thank you! This is Hykar. Pleasure to be of acquaintance!💫
