#totomoo nerding out

Placeholder for Master List, Works, OCs, About Me, and Transformative Policy.

About Me:

I do recognize that connecting with people means being open and vulnerable to a certain degree.

So... a few personal things: I was originally from the Philippines and moved out west with my parents when I was young. I'm a dog person (because we can't have cats for medical reasons). I love to cook, read, and stress clean. I have a literature degree but this just means I'm more of a nerd and an expert into reading (yes, I know you said it's just blue but it can be blue for other reasons!!! Indulge me!!!). I've been creatively writing since spring/summer of 2023.

I am multi-fandom, multi-ship (name it and I might goad you into writing fic for it XD-- seriously... ask all people on the servers I'm currently on), and have been reading fanfiction for much too long (and will likely still do so on my death bed many, many years from now).

M---- C----: From the "Sins" Universe. Antagonist. Loves Sebastian Sallow (not his end game though). I do love her and all her flaws.

Transformative Policy:

I am open to most transformative works, such as writing inspired by or in the same universe as my stories (alternative storylines are welcome), translations, handmade bind-ups, art, playlists, etc., and would love to see and be tagged in the results! You do not need to seek individual permissions for these things.

Please respect other artists' work if you are binding and obtain their permission for your personal usage.

I require that all works remain and be shared freely. Under no circumstances should it be hidden behind paywalls or be monetized for profit.

Please DO NOT repost my work to another site or archive without permission (I am on most major platforms-- see list above for official accounts).

While I appreciate the enthusiasm and love, please do not post my work on Goodreads (not that it's there, but I'm just saying this now). Such works there have gone through multiple edits and believe me-- mine still need editing, correction on typos, and whatnot.

Thank you for reading my works!

Prompt: identity and language as an obstacle to finding one’s place in the world.

OR

He was just different his mother would say. But different and estranged were two matters entirely.

He knew he was not the first of his kind and he knew he would not be the last. To some he was called a bastard. To his mother he was a happy accident. But despite all the names he might acquire in this lifetime, he was more than aware that he was a mistake— happy or not.

It did not help that he was far different in stature than any counterparts— he was not tall like any witch or wizard nor was he of average and acceptable height as other goblins. It mattered little if he wore the most unassuming clothes he could find— he could never fully disappear into the background. While such methods benefitted his comfort, he could not deafen himself to the comments and whispers as he walked past.

Being of two worlds, he knew and understood the guttural inflections of his mother’s tongue and the cuts that lay beneath a witch and wizard’s words. Understanding however did not make him part of their world. He was, as both society’s deemed him, a traitor to any kind.

Further notes:

The use of language in any society, be it fiction or the real world, can emphasize the socio political relationships between countries or simply one’s identity.

In politics—

Knowing two (or more) languages requires parties to rely on the interpreter for translations. But such translations (especially if there is a measure of personal interest) cannot fully be trusted.

In personal situations (example)—

This can likely strain relationships between parental units and children or friends. In an attempt to fit in, perhaps the new generation seeks to hide connection of their family’s origins (perhaps masking an accent).

Anon!!! 😭❤️ I have your question (for a Confessions of the Gentlemen AU) and I’m still mulling over it— are we talking about subverting the endings with dark elements or shall it be Fire, brimstone, and lord of death? (And tragedy)? 👀🙌❤️

Either would work 🤔 if I subvert it, I may make it a prequel of sorts. If it’s fire and brimstone with tragic ends, I may just do mini Drabble shots 😍

Hello Anon! I’m going to answer this here for my uh… ocd organizing tendencies! 😂

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it very much! I will admit, I’m very much a Sebastian Sallow fan but I do enjoy all the works for other NPCs. It’s a lot of fun doing character studies and whatnot!

🤔 I do hope I can do another one in the near future (longer and likely featuring other casts). It would be a fun side project to do alongside more serious works.

Thank you again! ❤️
