Hmm… who might these Inklings be?

Happy 2-Year Anniversary to TPWCH!

The last few weeks and months have been a bit rough for me, so I don’t have anything else ready to show you today, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty to look forward to!

OC Memes - Technically not for the anniversary, but rather to celebrate 300 kudos. I’m almost done with these! Here’s a WIP!

Anniversary Art ’24 - I’m working on a group photo for all the important characters in the TPWCH universe—including the sequel—so we’ll finally have exact visual representations for every important character beyond Picrews! I’ll be sharing a WIP soon.

Tako’s Getting Treated for ADHD - I’m taking the test tomorrow and have my follow-up next week. My ADHD has held me back since the very beginning of the fic and even before, so if everything goes well I might be able to be somewhat more productive on the fic going forward!

Ship Wars Ahead - A Tumblr poll tournament coming in April!

And now for the big one…

TPWCH is getting crossposted!

Okay, hold on, put the pitchforks down for just a second…

I know FFN is dead and Wattpad is cringe. But each site has its strengths that AO3 doesn’t quite cover. Particularly, I’ve always liked the format of Wattpad making it feel easier to comment and encouraging discussion among readers! FFN also holds a lot of sentimental value to me, and I’ve been wanting to return there for a while. Since I’ll be reposting chapter by chapter, it also allows new readers to ease into the story like many of you did when the fic was first coming out on AO3, instead of having to commit to such an intimidating 150,000-word chunk of fic all at once. And if the fic takes off on one or both of those other platforms, it’ll be a good thing for everyone! Not only will the TPWCH community continue to grow, but also—try as I might—I’m only human and more comments/interaction will automatically motivate me more to write and get chapters out for all of you! Skimming, dividing up, and posting old parts of the fic is also a minimally stressful way to get myself to engage with the fic and increase motivation.

Somehow I already had accounts on both of these platforms. Here they are! I’ll be getting my FFN profile pic and Wattpad bio fixed in the next few hours, and I’ll have a teaser for the TPWCH launch up in the next day or two.

FanFiction.Net Account

Wattpad Account

Both crosspostings are starting on 3/8

3 & 8 day!

From then on…

- FFN will update with one chapter every Friday, with any half chapters posted on the intervening Wednesday.

- Wattpad chapters will be broken up into ~3,000-word chunks and will update three times a week—Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday

Let me know what you think!

Welcome to my blog!

Hi! Info on my fanfics, tips for navigating this blog, rules on submitting asks and posts, and a list of my alts are below the cut! If you want to submit a post to the blog, please read the rules down below! Thank you so much!

My Works

This blog is dedicated to my three ongoing fanfictions on AO3. If you haven’t visited them yet, click on the links below to get started!

This Place We Called Home (TPWCH) - Splatoon, M/M, Agent 24

Mi Hogar Eres Tú (MHET) - Versión en español de TPWCH

The Words We Left Unsaid (TWWLU) - Haikyuu, M/M, Kenhina [HIATUS]

However, I overwhelmingly post about that first one on here! I also used to post a series called Daily Jugoru that highlights vocab and grammar from TPWCH’s accompanying conlang (known as Juburanotako). But I haven't done that in a while, and it's quickly losing relevance as Three learns more Octoling.

I’ve also started posting memes about TPWCH, because why not? (Also haven't done this in a while lol).

Navigating This Blog

Every organizational tag I use on this blog is included below. To go to that tag, click on the corresponding tag at the bottom of this post. The nice little feature of doing it this way is that this intro post will always be here at the top if you want to switch tags.

To see everything related to TPWCH, including status updates → #this place we called home

To see TPWCH official art → #tpwch official art

To see TPWCH picrews -> #tpwch picrews (or the masterpost)

To see TPWCH Fun Facts -> #tpwch fun facts

To see all TPWCH memes (including incorrect quotes) → #tpwch memes

To see TPWCH incorrect quotes, → #tpwch incorrect quotes

To see everything related to the Daily Jugoru, including status updates → #daily jugoru

To see only the Daily Jugoru and other Juburanotako posts without the status updates → #octoling language

To see everything related to TWWLU → #the words we left unsaid

To see everything related to TWWFL -> #this way we found love

To see everthng related to TTWCF -> #this thing we called freedom

To see an agent -> #(Neo) Agent 3/4/8

To see an OC -> #seyu, #lyle, #lucía, etc.

I also use other tags such as #splatoon, #haikyuu, #fanfic, #conlang, which I use to categorize my posts in the broader site, but I don’t suggest using for navigation. Many of these are just a holdover from back when I didn’t know how Tumblr worked and just stuck with me lol

Submitting Asks and Posts

You can submit an ask or a post at any time! I’d be ecstatic to answer any questions about TPWCH—or anything, really! 

And we now have fanart being consistently submitted to the blog, which is a literal dream come true! If you want to submit a fanwork, please follow the rules below to make sure it ends up in my hands and on the blog! (I promise they’re not scary rules! :P)

Fanworks of this fic are totally welcome and will immediately earn you my everlasting love and appreciation! Please send me any of your own creative work related to This Place We Called Home with the “Submit Fanwork” button if you want me to post it to the blog! AND SUPER IMPORTANT PART: You need to DM me on Tumblr or leave a comment on AO3, otherwise I won't see it! This goes for fanart, fanfiction, chat memes, you name it! And fun fact about submitted fanworks: they get reblogged once a month for three months! That means you'll appear on the blog a total of four times for each post you submit! (I may space them out a bit more than that if there’s a particularly high volume of traffic on the blog to ensure than every fanwork gets its fair share of appreciation!)

Posting fanart of my story to your own blog is also okay, but I ask that you do three things: [1]credit and ping me (@ikatako38) [2] link the fic (tinyurl.com/thisplacewecalledhome) and [3] spell the name of the fic correctly (This Place We Called Home).

Content-wise, I’m very open to any sort of AU or really anything else you want to do with my characters! If it complies with Tumblr’s (admittedly excessive) guidelines, you should be all set to go! If it would be labeled mature, just let me know that along with and content/trigger warnings in the DM you send me! I’m not currently avoiding any content warnings, but it’s nice to be prepared.

Thank you so much!
