Commissions version 2.0 (Rules and FAQ, plus some very important housekeeping).
Let's do this again.
Ko-fi.
You may request here.
Unless specifically requested, all stories are NSFW and therefore only idols over the age of 18 are eligible. Don’t ask for minors and don’t even bother trying; this will result in an instant block.
Most kinks are eligible to be written, otherwise please ask first before requesting. I am willing to write non-vanilla material provided it isn’t unethical or morally wrong. This does mean, however, that I will not be writing the following due to their graphic nature:
Non-con/Dub-con
Racial/raceplay
Bestiality
Omegaverse (this is more due to lack of knowledge rather)
Scat
For anything else, please message me first before moving forward with your request.
I will write for most K-pop groups/idols, especially mainstream ones, but feel free to ask whether I can write yours. (I can extend this to allow for non K-pop idols, singers and different celebrities like actors as well, please just don’t give me real non-famous people like your IRLs and other familiars.)
Learning from last time: I cannot give you a proper delivery date, at best only a range/period. In addition to my real life obligations, writing is an incredibly volatile hobby. Sometimes inspiration hits, sometimes it does not. However, you can inquire about the status of your commission through DMs for an update. Full transparency: your commission will have equal precedence as my ideas/work.
We follow a strong mutual code of trust between strangers. I will not acknowledge or reveal personal information from your side provided you do the same with mine. This includes your real name, your email, and any other personal details that may be compromised during this transaction. Your name (real or username) will not be openly disclosed during the public release of your commission.
No refunds. By reading this, it is understood that you have read my previous work and have entrusted me to write to my quality standards. I will do my best to fulfill as much of your request as possible to the best of my abilities.
While you are free to provide as much information and detail regarding your commission, creative liberties may be taken to produce the final product.
Likewise, I have final authority in regards to your commission’s public release and where it may be posted. I will post a link to your fic that will be stored in my Masterlist post.
Communication will be done primarily through my Tumblr blog (usedpidemo) or on Discord (pipipipi). If you’re on Twitter/X, request a follow first before messaging me there (@DoctorPenApp1n).
—————
Full transparency, I genuinely don't know how long I have left. My family and I have been going through some very difficult times lately, but especially financially. Our family business hasn't been doing well ever since the mall closed off the parking area where our shop resides, consequently reducing our exposure visibility to the general public. We don't have the capital to buy for marketing materials like posters and flyers. It's been a rough month for us sales wise. There's talks of our store having to shut down if this keeps getting worse before the construction may be completed sometime in 2025.
We're just barely getting by. We've had our power cut twice already because of late payments. We've lost running water once. Not to mention we're still behind on dues to the mall for letting us rent out the space, the suppliers, the employees working for us. There's so much we have to pay, and right now, our revenue is not enough. At this point, we're only banking on a miracle to save us from complete financial ruin. Hell, I don't even know if we can even afford basic necessities in the near future. This includes the internet and my education, which sucks because I'm so—so close to graduating and being able to help out in some shape or form.
I'm telling you all this because it means I'll be forced to let go of stuff that I'm genuinely passionate about. Finding a job in this economy is already fucking difficult for anyone, let alone in this country with horrible pay and inflated living costs. I don't wanna waste hours away at a thankless job I'm clearly not fit for, and I might as well spend that energy on something I have some experience in. I will deal with burnout when I get to that point; right now it's about making the most of whatever resources I have currently to live another day.
I am not requiring you to feel sympathy for me or asking for free money. I know that you have bigger priorities than to show care for some random person on the internet. But even just a reblog to spread the word is more than enough. I seriously cannot be here without your continued, unwavering patience and support even after three years doing this. I know I'm not the best, but I certainly am trying.
With that said, all my content will remain freely accessible regardless. If it's in my masterlist, it can be read. Thank you—thank you—so much for reading.

about Those tags because i need to talk about your opinions but also am not sure on the tumblr etiquette of just ranting on ops post:
what do you think was the thinking process behind merc building the junior drivers on kimi?
i understand thinking kimi would become a good driver and should be invested in but building it up only for him seems insanity to me. mercedes surely has enough money to have a couple more drivers like ferrari and redbull so why cut paul aron (after what seemed like to me some good top3 championship results) and not even pick someone up so they could have options in case kimi needed more time or turned not to be what they hoped for?
No you’re totally right, it is insanity
Simply put, Toto Wolff kinda has an ego.
If you didn’t know, Kimi was discovered by the Minardi’s before he was even ten, who are also his managers. The Minardi’s got him in contact with Toto Wolff.
Toto has been in contact with Kimi, long before he ever joined the junior team. Kimi’s father would test Mercedes cars (not open wheel real cars) and the Wolffs and Antonelli’s were in pretty clear communication as to Where kimi would eventually go.
So he’s been watching this kid for years now and when he finally signs him (finally old enough to be signed) he keeps winning. Now, he’s got something to prove, that Merc can make drivers into greats, and he has generational talent in his team. Talent that he’s known since he was a child.
Money is no issue with Kimi. He is sponsored solely by Mercedes. While other teams (like Ferrari and Red Bull) have their drivers get their own sponsorships in order to pay for the racing fees with their academy paying a portion, Mercedes juniors - at least now that there’s only 4 of them - are all completely Mercedes funded.
Mercedes pays for everything Kimi wants to do in racing because they believe he’s that great of a driver. Because Toto tells them he’s that great of a driver. And then they see the results on track and are like “well that paid off let’s keep going with throwing money at him”
In Toto’s mind, there is no other option. Paul Aron is a great driver but he isnt the coach of Toto’s son’s karting team. Kimi is. Paul is good and fast behind the wheel but Toto didn’t watch him as a kid karting. He watched Kimi. Paul is frankly, F1 quality, but he didn’t have Giovanni Minardi whispering into Toto’s ear about how great the kid was when he was still in elementary school. Kimi did. That’s not a fault of Paul or Kimi’s it’s just the nature of how things worked out. Paul isn’t an option in Toto’s mind
And because Toto has deluded himself into thinking there’s no other option, and he’s quickly realizing that Seventeen Year Old still doing homework Kimi isn’t exactly ready. But he’s backed himself into a corner and he’s got too big of an ego to back out now.
So, he’s throwing Kimi into rigorous testing sessions and jumping him past F3 and telling the whole world he’s found the next whoever, and somehow somehow convincing the FIA to lower the superlicense age.
Toto Wolff’s massive ego has essentially caused all this imo. He saw a great driver several years ago. Was butthurt about losing Max to redbulll and decided to throw millions at this driver to try and just make the next Max himself. Hurting his other juniors in the process
(clarifying, i totally also think Kimi is a great driver, im a fan of his and I want to see him succeed. If his career is ruined by how Toto is fast tracking him, it’s Toto’s fault)
#f1#formula 1#kimi antonelli#toto wolff#paul aron#aron girlies i am WITH YOU not against you#anti toto wolff

Sometimes venturing onto the For You side of Twitter sparks joy.
Based take. Shoujo and Josei are fucking top notch, both in characters and art style (how can you not think they’re beautiful?)
“Ruined the JJK and MHA fandoms” is WILD. I avoid fandoms for the most part (except perusing tumblr for the occasional fucking thesis women write about character motivations i love you women <3) because they usually suck. Seriously, I kept up with OPM for a bit because it was entertaining but holy shit the subreddit (very much full of men) is literally just… sexy woman. More sexy woman. Memes about artist constantly drawing sexy woman. Memes. Occasional power scaling arguments. Low quality page colorings of the exact same page. There is NOTHING. How the hell can women ruin the fandom when the fandom IS the women?!
It’s the women creating in depth analyses on characters; it’s the women writing fanfiction, creating doujinshis; it’s the women creating fandom centered accounts; it’s the women buying every new merch piece that comes out AND giving free advertising by posting about it online. And then men will go on and rag on women for doing all these things. It’s infuriating.
Longevity of a series is also something these idiots ignore. Seriously, look at Katekyo Hitman Reborn. The manga ended in 2012 and the creator is working on a different series. Katekyo Hitman Reborn still gets regular merch releases. This is a series that ended over a decade ago and still has an incredibly dedicated fanbase of, I wonder who, that regularly spends enough money to keep it consistent. You cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that series is supported mainly by men. I do not care how hard Amano Akira tried to alienate her female fans with her treatment of the female characters you know exactly whos spending the money based on who is constantly getting merch (minus the titular character, because of course he has to be there.)
Honestly I don’t give a damn that fandom can often be absolute insanity; you get a group of people together and it’s always going to be a shitshow, that isn’t unique to fandom, people just like to pretend it is because as always, there’s an undercurrent of misogyny because people know women carry that shit but they only want to acknowledge it when they can use it to criticize them.
I love that she came for the JJK fandom as well. I’ve been following the series because honestly it is really fucking funny because it is the epitome of shounen tropes. The author literally baked them into the world. Explaining your abilities to the opponent makes them stronger. So this entire series you get giant pages of just white with text explaining every little fucking thing like theres a narrator standing over your shoulder making sure you can’t possibly miss anything on the first read. Fuck dude, I don’t mind exorbitant amounts of text in my manga, but you cannot be serious in pretending that is good writing. There’s a deus ex machina that every character can pull out of their ass called a binding vow. Black flash also falls into this category.
Hell, the latest arc has literally just been flashback after flashback playing during the battle of the characters forming a bunch of plans in preparation for the fight we currently are following. This is genuinely one of my most hated tropes. The characters just get off screen power ups that then get handwaved as “well we showed you the flashback right?” there is NO anticipation, any excitement you feel for the battle is purely manufactured rather than genuine. It’s not “I can’t wait to see how the growth I followed of these characters affects the battle” it’s “wow, what cool ability will they pull out of their ass next?” I hate it I loathe it and it’s even worse with emotional moments. Why couldn’t you write this into the story in the first place? Why are you giving it to me in a shitty flashback?
Maybe I didn’t explain it well enough because I launched into a rant. The reason I hated it so much is because it forced the reader to be an observer rather than an active participant in the manga. Everything is spoonfed to you. You don’t need to reread the chapters over and over to put together the pieces on how, where, and why each action took place, the author does that for you. You don’t see everything from a new perspective when you read it a second time, catching lots of things you may have missed because you’re not allowed to miss anything the author deems important.
I enjoy this manga. There is good things about it. But it is nowhere near the god manga (“kamige” would be the term if it was a visual novel; I don’t know a manga equivalent) men like to pretend it is. It genuinely seems like they think everything being explained every page is good writing.
Based and succinct.
Anyway, you shouldn’t restrict yourself from experiencing specific genres because they’re for “the lessers” because that’s actually fucking cringe and maybe you should touch a Josei manga, or even a Shoujo manga. Maybe it’ll open your eyes and you’ll realize, hey, women’s media is actually- oh who the fuck am I kidding just pull the trigger.
#taking the bait and getting mad about things that dont matter dot rtf#i would genuinely love to write actual well thought out well written and well researched essays on the shit im into#but going on barely edited rants is easier and gives me those feel good chemicals faster#i started this with twitter sparking joy then proceeded to go on a rant about how much hate fills my heart#i hope my ranting is at least somewhat coherent because my thought process is incredibly scattered right now#i also rant about JJKs writing because i was going to do that one of these days anyway but i read my sleeper activation phrase in a tweet#basically im mad at how much men ignore womens contributions to the series they claim to enjoy#no evidence is ever good enough for them either#you have a japanese study showing the sex division for a popular series has an even 50:50 split?#it doesnt fit the exact parameters that i believe it should! (angry mention about ‘the gays’ when they werent even brought up)#also yeah im sure when theres an even amount of both women and men watching something ONLY the men actually contribute right#ask me about my opinions i dont bite ;^)#also i need a nap because i have been awake far too long hello insomnia#was about to go to sleep then i was provoked and had to fight (opened twitter and then rant on a blog out in nowhere)#goodnight (its noon)

(a colored sketch of four characters. from left to right there’s Gene who has dyed green hair and an orange jacket, Casper who has long flowing hair and pale skin, Saint who wears round sunglasses and a simple T shirt, and Tab who has curly orange hair and snakebite piercings.)
(tumblr compressed the hell out of this, click for higher quality)
It’s far past time to introduce the main characters for the moon book (intro) so I can finally talk about them! I’ll be sharing plenty more about them as I develop the story now, but here’s some basics for now.
Saint 🌙 19, he/him, 4w5, ENFP, the protagonist!
Saint has a rich creativity and passion for storytelling. He loves to play piano and sing, the latter of which he’s supernaturally good at. He’s not very talkative and doesn’t share his stories often, but whenever he does there’s a gravity to his voice that pulls listeners in.
Saint’s best and only friends are Tab and Gene, but sometimes he feels like they’re just humoring him. He feels like an outsider around anyone except himself.
Because of a medical condition, Saint has periods where his senses are dulled to the point where he can’t perceive the outside world. So he turns inward. That’s what caused him to have such a weak sense of belonging, as well as surround himself with stories.
Tab 🪐 19, they/them, 3w2, ESTJ 🏳️⚧️
Tab loves academia and used to excel in every class- until their senior year. They’ve got a great memory and will happily learn and repeat back information all day, but the second the advanced classes they took got into more abstract ideas, they started failing. They can be inflexible, stubborn, and a bit blunt, but damn if they don’t get things done.
Now they’re retaking their senior year, which has ruined their hopes of getting into a good college. That was, until they met Casper who got them into the supernatural and ghosthunting… if they can find concrete proof of the things that exist beyond earth, they’d be able to get into whatever college they want.
Tab has a lot of friends that come and go, but the closest to their heart are Saint and Gene. They also have a rotating cast of passions, but their most consistent are history and guitar- which they learned to spend more time with their friends by starting a band.
Gene 💫 17, he/him, 9w8, INFP 🏳️⚧️
For most of his life, Gene has neatly fit into the persona of a quiet nerdy academic that the world projected onto him. But as he’s growing up, he’s starting to realize it doesn’t fit as well anymore. He’s an idealist with strong values, and a deep optimism + compassion. He’s young, he’s still growing into himself! He wants to change the world!
Now he’s just been accepted into a fancy college that’s sure to lead to a promising tech career. The only problem is, it’s across the country and he’s starting to feel a growing unease about leaving his friends behind to sit behind a desk taking orders from a boss for the rest of his life.
Gene adores his brother, Saint, and he’s been friends with Tab since they were kids. He plays the drums in their band and follows Tab around on all their adventures.
Casper ⚡️ 22, he/her, 7w6, ???? 🏳️⚧️
Casper is a high energy person who loves to experience new things, meet new people, do everything she can regardless of how good of an idea it may be. He’s always doing something with his hands; that means fiddling around with technology and more recently, crocheting.
After getting to a bad accident, Casper’s soul left her body. But before her body died, it replaced that soul with a rogue bit of cosmic dust that was similar enough to work as a replacement. He’s doing his best to recover as fast as possible so he can go back to his normal life, but it’s becoming harder and harder to pretend that’s an option. Casper isn’t able to do many of the things she used to, she doesn’t even feel like the same person anymore…
Meanwhile, the person that became her new soul isn’t pleased about this situation, either. Being stuck in a body is horribly limiting, their similar feelings of frustration bleed together and make the separation of the two even harder to maintain. But that’ll all be fine if they just ignore it :’)
Powehi 🌟???, it, 7w6
Powehi is an alien, the intangible manifested consciousness of humanity’s collective voice. It dives from body to body, seeing the world through earthling eyes until it stayed too long in Casper’s dying body and was trapped. It thinks very highly of itself and the things it can do, so to be condensed down to such a limiting form is… difficult. It’s mostly been sulking and ignoring everything.
Saint is its favorite earthling, so it blessed him with a piece of its power and visits him in his dreams. It hasn’t been able to do that recently, and even though Saint doesn’t realize Powehi is more than a figment of his imagination, he cares for it and is starting to get worried.
Powehi never had a name before meeting Saint, it’s usually just called the Voice.
#wip: moon#writing#character intro#oc intro#writeblr#excited!! I like these guys#I’ll do the minor characters soon but there aren’t really that many#oc: saint#oc: tab#oc: gene#oc: casper#oc: powehi#Spotify

god it makes me so depressed to go on discord right now. there’s two people that are just ruining my experience, and I’ve blocked them, but they’re basically dominating all conversations in the server so I feel like I just can’t say anything until they’re not there. and even if I do join a conversation and they’re not there, they will often come in and join and reply to me directly (especially one guy, which he shouldn’t be able to do because I have him blocked. discord fix this shit.), and won’t stop even if I actively ignore them. the one guy seems to get a kick out of just trying to disagree with everything i say, and replies to me over and over while i ignore him, trying to push my buttons until i do ultimately snap. its really really shitty.
i hate having things i love feel ruined by jerks. SH had been a safe haven for a long time but i really think i need to take a break from the discord to preserve my love of the game. honestly the community here on tumblr is better than the discord at the moment.
i need to just focus on writing my fic. i have an idea for a short-ish prologue that’s thawed some of my writer’s block, but after a comment the other day in the discord, I’m super worried about the quality of my writing and feel the need to completely rework how i write in general just so i can be proud of things I post.
i know perfection isn’t attainable but i worry so much about putting stuff out there that’s bad quality and amateur-ish. and i want to have beautiful, evocative writing instead of blunt, “and then this happened next” writing.

Harvey falling in love with his best friend
This was requested by anon, idk how I managed to delete every ask that was in my ask box at the time but here we are, I guess I just have a talent for being horrible at using tumblr :)
I support any and all Harvey prompts, this man needs more LOVE.
-Okay, first thing’s first, this can go one of two ways:
He is completely oblivious until the very last moment
He is WAY TOO AWARE OF HIS CRUSH AT ALL MOMENTS OF THE DAY
-He crushes, and he crushes hard
-The second he realizes he’s falling in love, it’s a complete internal panic
-For one, you’re his closest friend, and he doesn’t want to ruin the connection you have! Plus it would be so complicated with him being your doctor, he doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable or make you avoid him
-He gets surprisingly brooding about it sometimes, he is NOT built for pining. He can handle it when it’s a stranger, sure, but being hyper-aware of how IN LOVE he is whenever you’re around has him constantly flustered
-The littlest things get him all sappy. You bring him coffee one morning and he thinks about it until the moment he goes to sleep (and a few days after…)
-I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to make to first move. Normally he’s a very perceptive person, but he is blind to any and all flirting/affection directed towards him unless you make it PAINFULLY obvious
-He gets all stuttery and blushy around you and he hates it
-If you wait long enough he might just accidentally blurt an “I love you” and panic so hard he has to leave the room
-save him.
-He doesn’t realize it, but he starts accidentally avoiding you
-he will feel soooo bad if you bring it up, and will try to put more effort into spending the same amount of quality time together as you used to, but obviously that isn’t helping his situation
-He gets so awkward about it sometimes. The simplest things like small talk have turned into stumbling nightmares of conversations
-If you ever do confess, his body does a full reset.
“Uh, Harvey??”
“Yh- w- huh-???”
“You’ve been silent for two minutes.”
-anyway…

(I’m very bad at Tumblr blogs and I haven’t run a successful one yet... this isn’t picture based answers rather writing based since art takes me a very long time) (warning 1: I haven't read anything besides wikis in like 5+ years warning 2: Prussia is not transphobic and neither am I... I'm literally trans, he just likes to be provocative.)
"As you can see right now, I am on the beach! I am very awesomely enjoying myself, as usual. Look! Sunglasses! So cool, so awesome. Ever since my country well… doesn't exist anymore I've been relaxing, living the life, my best life, really. Sitting in a lounge chair drinking-" he picks up the cup and looks at it, "orange… juice ? Let's not question the quality of this. Anyways, America's diary was very boring, not awesome so I got bored. It's much more awesome here than in his silly little world."
The bird is still on his head, and Prussia still does not notice, "also-" he was then interrupted by a strange man entering from center right, camera magically zooms out to show that the "beach" was indeed a set of a beach, not a real beach. And the man is Austria.
"Can you stop with your camera shit? I just wanted to finish cleaning the basement…" He grabbed the lounge chair and started folding it back up.
"You know very well that I'm doing this for a reason, and yet you decide to ruin it."
"I literally don't care that your dumb wattpad thing got a thousand views, world politics are much more important to me right now, did you hear all the bullshit America is doing right now?" He placed the chair back where it came from.
"Yeah yeah, trans rights… is that really that important though?"
"You're insane, they're making laws to take away people's rights."
"I'm dead, I don't care."
"Imbecile…"
"Are you just saying this because you're secretly a girl now?"
"No, thank you very much. I just think it's more important than this camera you have." He pointed to the camera.
Prussia rolled his eyes, "whatever! Whatever! You're so annoying, thank god this is all on camera now. What next? Will we have sex on camera?"
Austria flustered up, clearly annoyed but maybe into it, "what the hell is wrong with you!?"
Prussia laughed, pushing him away, "maybe I can claim your territories one day hehehe…"
"SHUT IT!" Austria left it at that… and left.
Prussia walked back to the camera, looking at the monitor to make sure it was still recording, "you see that guy! What a pussy! Bet he is really a girl. Girly ass bitch."
He tried to fix his set to the best of his ability, at least the table with his drink was still there.
"Well, that's my life now, I can't believe he still lives here… also Germany is here but I thought that was kinda obvious so I left that out. Anyways I want you to ask me questions in the comments, yes you! I can see you! Your camera is on and I can see you through it! (This is a joke by the way to all the paranoid people in the back) ask me questions or else… actually I can't really do anything besides pout because you haven't given me any questions… whatever. Anyways this is my crib!" He pulls the camera off the stand and turns it to face a pathetic looking bedroom.
"Huh? Huh? How does it look? Tell me in the comments as well as your super amazing questions you've definitely left me by now. Zoom into the panda plushie, yes yes. Great camerawork, Prussia. Now up, down, all around, give yourself a seizure and there we go, back on me, heheh." He's such an idiot.
He looked at himself in the camera for a second before quickly turning it back to the scenery, "if you want to see anything else uhhh look at that wall!" He points the camera to a blank wall.
"Uhhh…" He fiddles with the camera, "I think that's the end now. Well for now of Prussia's super awesome cool and fantastic adventures part one! Hope you liked the video, like and subscribe! I want to do these everyday but I know I'll get bored like with America's stupid diary so I'll just do it whenever I have awesome free time. Bye now!" The camera is shut off.

Despite not being that much into ygo anymore, I was shown your posts and damn, what is wrong with you? Haven't seen a "ygo fan" being that much of a jerk towards other fans in a long time. If you don't even like most ygo anime then why do you still feel the need to talk about them in a negative way and spamming the tags with non-related topics? And stop shittalking Kazuki Takahashi. You don't have to worship him or be his fan but this man is dead because he tried to help people who were in danger. Have some respect towards him at least.
I was going to rant at you at first, but I took the time to read your message properly. I noticed your Pokémon avatar and what you said about not being involved in the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom as much anymore. I didn’t really understand at first, since Tumblr’s ask and share systems have never worked well for me. I’m more of a Facebook guy than a Tumblr or Twitter user. Tumblr is just the place where I vent my anger about Yu-Gi-Oh! since Dark Side of Dimensions (DSOD) came out. That movie ruined me even more when I was already poor and sad.
I know it’s cliché, but I’m more open to talking negatively about Takahashi—not because he means anything to me, but because I hated how his fans disrespected 5D's and didn’t care about the personal crises I was going through. I may disappear someday and never return—I promise you that, friend. I feel like I’m never coming back because I’m still in shock and need time to heal. I haven’t had the chance to relax because I’ve been broke. I don’t see this “off-topic” issue as a problem. My only purpose is to not be on the good side of things.
For me, the whole topic or off-topic discussions in the Yu-Gi-Oh! community are irrelevant. I just spam posts to get attention because I don’t find anything interesting on Tumblr, and I don’t use it much or care about it.
The reason I don’t see most of the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom being nice to me is because life became so hard. I used to think it would be all rainbows and sunshine, but when I entered high school, everything changed. That was just a year after 5D’s ended.
When I heard the Yu-Gi-Oh! community was going insane during Zexal’s run (2011-2014), I wanted to see for myself, but the following year, I was completely turned off. I still can’t understand why people became so toxic in 2015 or why they refuse to read properly. My whole purpose now is to criticize the fandom because they only focus on relevant topics, and I can’t relate since I don’t have a fandom or followers. I don’t understand why, even today, people won’t call out the nonsense in the anime community because they’re too sensitive.
I’m struggling in real life and trying to fix my online presence, but being unemployed since December 2022 has made me hate the fandom even more. A lot of what they say isn’t even true about Yu-Gi-Oh!.
I have several reasons to believe the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom is lying about Zexal’s reception in Japan, Konami going bankrupt because of false rumors, and Takahashi being responsible for why ARC-V failed in its original broadcast version. 4Kids gets blamed too much for adapting the show for American audiences, but they didn’t ruin the original Japanese version like people claim. I don’t believe GX was the peak of Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. It was made by people who weren’t 100% good—Junki Tategami was one of them, and he was responsible for a lot of its problems. I also don’t think 5D’s had production issues in Season 3. When Tomoika left during that season, the production issues started. The fandom sugarcoats Zexal over its ratings and animation, but they forget that Yu-Gi-Oh! was about exposing errors in writing—something GX and 5D’s did better. I have massive hate toward Kamishiro Tsunomi, who ruined ARC-V, and I hate people who refuse to admit that VRAINS’ biggest issue was its writing, not its production quality. I also loathe Dark Side of Dimensions because it focused on nonsense that didn’t give Yu-Gi-Oh! the impact it deserved. It spammed multiverse theories just for clout. I can’t agree with most fans that Battle City was the best arc—it was poorly adapted. 5D’s only had one bad arc: the Fortune Cup. Zexal II was just “meh” because it changed tones. GX Season 3 and 4 weren’t its peak; they were just poorly written arcs. I can’t stand Sevens or Go Rush either. The list is why I am having a hard time finding good people to chat with.
I hate most of the fandom for showing me just how pathetic it really is. I tried to stay calm but I guess i can't even respect that. The fact I haven't joy in my life for once is why I can't respect even myself let alone others.
The biggest complaint I have with the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom on Twitter and Tumblr is how they accuse me of going off-topic just because I can't handle criticism—when in reality, everyone is doing cringe reviews just to push nonsense. I wasn't going to go down this path, but after losing my job and dignity, my patience finally ran out. I can't even respect anyone in real life anymore.
I wasn't born rich and can’t afford to buy tons of Yu-Gi-Oh! card boxes, yet I have to listen to Pokémon fans who spend all their time watching furry content instead of appreciating a real, macho card game anime like Yu-Gi-Oh!.
#yugioh#ygo#yugioh dm#yugioh gx#yugioh 5d's#yugioh arc v#yugioh vrains#yugioh sevens#yugioh go rush#yugioh ocg stories#all i wanted was respect in real life and a proper job but because life for me never got easy how i can even change#but these fantards are not even gonna listen than use their mental gymnastics like that Dylan YGO who i loath him the most

MY SPECIAL INTEREST IS (FASHION) DOLLS‼️‼️
I don’t mention it on tumblr much cuz I mostly use this for art, but I absolutely LOVE dolls and I always have.
I have a collection of 70+ dolls, but I haven’t counted them in a while so I definitely think it could be 80+ by now or more!! I should check again soon.
My favorite lines are probably Lol Surprise Omg/Lol Surprise Tweens and Lalaloopsy, but I love a lot of others too like Monster High (G3, mostly) and Rainbow High! I don’t have many Barbie dolls, i only got my first one around October/November-ish last year, but I have 4 now! 2 of them are newer (Perfect Day/Movie Barbie & 2023 Holiday Barbie), and 2 of them are older (Barbie In The Pink Shoes & a 90’s Barbie I found naked at a thrift store so idk who she was lol). I don’t like a lot of newer Barbie dolls bc a lot of the quality just,,, isn’t there, but I do want to collect more 90’s Barbie’s and late 2000s/early 2010s Barbie’s because she’s very nostalgic for me.
I love fashion dolls for so many different reasons. I’ve always been interested in fashion, and I love self expression. I love dressing super colorfully and over the top (when I have the energy too. Cuz yknow. Autism lmao.) So it’s fun being able to not only fill my room with dolls wearing fun outfits, but being able to mix and match things and create whole new looks is genuinely so exhilarating for me!! I don’t restyle dolls extremely often bc I don’t wanna ruin any dolls, but when I can and do restyle dolls without needing to worry abt that, they can become some of my favorites!! I think there might also be a visual stim factor to it, tho I can’t figure out if I like dolls bc they’re visual stimulating for me, or if they’re visually stimulating for me because I like them. But either way, I can pick one doll out for the day, take it with me wherever I go, and just stare at it and keep noticing new details in the face or clothing, or even just staring at my favorite parts over n over. And there’s definitely physical stimulation too, because I love feeling the fabric and the hair, and it’s especially nice if it has a good amount of articulation so I can move them around and pose them in different ways. And there’s so many other reasons I love them too.
I also often really enjoy the movies and tv shows that doll lines come with! Lalaloopsy Girls: Welcome To Lala Prep is genuinely one of my favorite movies, period. I like all the other Lalaloopsy movies too, and the Nick Jr show (I don’t really like the Netflix Lalaloopsy show tho). There’s also 2003 Strawberry Shortcake, which btw, had some absolute BANGER songs in some episodes. I’ve seen a good amount of Monster High movies by now, my fave is probably Ghouls Rule bc it focuses more on Jackson Jekyll and he’s my fav character <33. Ever After High is great, I never watched it as a kid, but even just watching it in its entirety like a few months ago, it’s a good show with some of the best digital puppet animation I’ve ever seen.
I think I should probably stop now cuz I have things to do but OMMFGFGG I COULD GO ON LITERALLY FOREVER
hey, if you're autistic, adhd, nd etc. could you reblog this and infodump in the tags about your special interests or current hyperfixations? i'd love to hear abt them! ^_^
#actually autistic#asd#autism#autism positivity#neurodivergent#nd#neurodivergent positivity#infodumping#adhd positivity#actually adhd#<- not diagnosed but pretty sure.#fashion dolls#dolls#lalaloopsy#strawberry shortcake 2003#barbie#monster high#lol surprise omg#rainbow high#ever after high

Me: makes an avatar the exact size tumblr wants to ensure it isn’t blurry.
Tumblr: lol nah, I’m going to ruin the quality anyway.

I’ve finally solved the mystery as to why I couldn’t keep a diary as a kid for more than a few days despite no shortage of thoughts, feelings, and ideas: my executive dysfunction makes it less likely that I’ll perform a regular task the more pressure I put on myself to do it on an exact schedule! That, and whatever else makes me feel that if I’ve missed one day of that task, I’ve “ruined it”, and it’s both pointless and impossible to pick up again the next day (luckily, I got a handle on the latter issue in my earlier twenties). I’ve decided I’d like to start journaling somewhere again, but without the pressure of doing so every day. It’s apparently good for the memory, especially if you recount anecdotes from your day.
I was wondering whether journaling would actually help me repair some of the trauma from the last year - I’ve never done anything like that except perhaps a little on Tumblr. I think it might help because of the way my trauma settled - not into where it always had, where I was able to show and discuss it regularly to my support group, which buoyed me along as I healed myself. I think it got and has remained so out of hand because my regular social patterns and interactions are so different compared to 2019. I think a part of me is still fully stuck in quarantine (while I am masking and being careful n public, I can see my friends now, barriers of time and energy aside). I got out of the habit of having intimate conversations about what I’m going through, as it’s never been easy for me to converse online like it is in person. So everything just kind of stays in my head in this whirling snow globe of thought, where the individual pieces remain out of sight until happenstance brings them to the fore of my mind again. I think writing it down will give it some permanence and help me sort of quilt the pieces together in a way I that will help me understand the big picture, and make it feel less intimating to articulate to, therefore process, with others.
Anyway, a few boundaries I’ve realized I want to and will set for (and with) myself:
-No thinking about climate change past 7pm, unless it’s for school.
-I’m snoozing or unfollowing anyone who posts AI-generated art. I’m still checking my feelings and forming my opinion on the subject, but it makes me feel insane to casually scroll past AI-art, especially that looks like photographs, and realize I didn’t catch that it was AI-generated at first. I don’t know my stance on it yet, but being online has been shredding my mental health these past couple of years, and this has been the second-to-last straw in a lot of ways (not the last - I’m still here, but a lot less).
-I take on nothing that isn’t required for life-admin, school, or career-building where my first instinct at the offer or request is the specific “where would I get the time for that” feeling of panicked dread that I get when I’ve already taken on the maximum amount of commitments. Be that a regular commitment to an activity (i.e. agreeing to join a DnD campaign) or a one-time event (i.e. getting brunch with a friend next week). I extend myself, but I don’t overextend myself - the trade off is that I maintain a better awareness of which friendship or part of my life needs watering and TLC, or who I simply want to give that to, and extend myself there when I next can. I never plan to use up more than 80% of my energy (physical, mental, etc.) and I exercise caution throughout my days to maintain a trajectory that’ll get me no further than that 80%. The extra 20% can be there for the unexpected and what is out of my control, but is intended to be where the rest and recovery is, and where I’m able to bring quality to everything else. It gives me stillness, perspective, spontaneous pleasure, time to think and repair. It’s a regular audit of my satisfaction with choices, and it’s my ability to be present in my body and the space it’s in. I know I’m growing in the other 80% of my day, but unless I have that extra time and energy to truly go into myself with a curious eye (and to ask about and indulge whatever I discover in my heart - and which is, I am starting realize, how I can truly tell what I want and value, and how my heart feels listened to and heard) I don’t actually see or synthesize that growth into my self-concept. But I never reach 100% unless necessary, and I prioritize doing something intentional to recover from it when I must.

…ok the next DC:YJ issue (#5) isn’t out yet (aside from the preview and a leaked page) but I wanna briefly talk about this criticism/sentiment i’ve seen in at least three or four separate posts across here and twitter:
Several people confused/frustrated by Meghan seeming to characterize Young Justice fans (via Mickey) as conservative homophobic sexist racist etc dudebros- when the Young Justice fandom they are familiar with is largely made up of a completely different diverse group of people. Plus the 1998 book itself being unfairly misrepresented as less progressive than it actually was in order to justify this.
To which there’s two points I’d like to bring up:
1. Meghan Fitzmartin is the one writing this book. Meghan Fitzmartin who wrote the story in which Tim became canonically bisexual. Meghan Firzmartin who has been constantly berated and criticized and sent hate by the vocal toxic homophobic Tim fans that think she ruined the character! A lot of those people aren’t fans of just Tim- they’re fans of Tim’s generation (in many instances because stuff like Young Justice 1998 was current back when they were getting into comics). And plenty are opposed to any change, not just characters coming out as LGBT, but more diversity in comics in general- more lead characters of color, more lead women, etc. The tumblr- and like stan dctwt- sections of the DC fandom might be what you see the most as a user of those communities, but they are not the only part of the fandom, not the majority, and not even necessarily the most vocal.
2. @gwynerso said the other thing I wanna communicate well when discussing misrepresentation of Young Justice 1998:
I think the whole point was that it was progressive, given the whole point is that Mikey had to heavily twist the guys memories and remove Cassie to make his “point”. Whilst we can talk about writing quality and whether it hits its mark or not, it’s definitely a critique of (x)
the sort of fan who will ignore the progressive elements of what they like to paint it in the gross light they want it to have. If it wasn’t progressive, Bart, Tim and Kon wouldn’t have noticed the dissonance. Mikey’s powers are reality bending on both ends like his dad’s. (x)
Because, as stated earlier, those types of fans of YJ do definitely exist and they are in Meghan’s twitter notifications on a pretty regular basis (plus I wouldn’t be surprised by some irl encounters at conventions she’s attended since UL #6 dropped). Maybe they’re not the ones reading the book (and even if they are, they’re obviously not the only ones) but it’s still a toxic mindset that’s within the comics community and she is actively painting that mindset as being the villain here (which goes along with the general theme in both this book and Dark Crisis as an event that things can’t/shouldn’t just go back to ‘how they were’ because things have changed, modern comics can’t just be ruled by nostalgia)
I think there is definitely fair discussion to be had about whether this was the book/story that was needed for these characters right now (I personally at this point don’t really think it was, in large part because a lot of problems/unfair treatment the YJ generation has faced were more editorial’s fault than the fanbase’s, and that’s something hard to actually approach through an in-universe story), I think there are certainly elements/execution/characterization worth criticizing (I’m just… waiting to formulate my final thoughts on any of that until we have the whole story, because the context of the ending could absolutely change/explain things), but it feels like so many people are just looking for reasons to be angry without taking a step back to think about the larger picture/larger comics community. Without trying to think about what is actually being communicated here and instead just getting defensive.
#please don’t take this as me vaguing any specific person though i’m just#saying all this because of how frequently i’ve been seeing people say stuff like this over the last day or so#and slight side tangent but#I also feel like a lot of people (in the tumblr and dctwt subsection of the fandom)#liked Sum of Our Parts a lot#and thus came into this book with really high expectations and strong ideas about what they wanted#and this book turning out to be different than what was wanted/expected has made people#look for more reasons to be angry about it whether consciously or not#idk man 🤷♂️#grandpa max is god? i go to church now

Hey!!! How are you?
How do you make stimboards?
Do you have a source for stims other than Tumblr?
heya, anon! we are doing well!
so, i'll start on a tutorial in a second, but I'll answer your second question first.
i guess the only suggestion i'd have for stims from outside of tumblr, is just general gif websites. tumblr is very much the best place to find stims though. there isn't really a specific source for stim gifs other than tumblr.
also, i will preface this with the fact this will most likely be for pc editors only. i have no idea how much of this works on mobile. i’m really sorry about that.
anyway, onto the tutorial!
How To Make Stimboards
1. find + download your stims.
so, you’ve got your character or your theme, and now you need to find the good stims. what terms do you search, what things do you look for. i’ll tell ya.
tumblr tip!!!!! ~ when you search on tumblr, don’t click enter after typing, look at the search and pick the option under ‘go to #tag’. you’ll see more posts that way!
for specific aesthetics, it is very easy to just search up ‘’aesthetic’ stim’ (eg ‘light academia stim’, ‘kidcore stim’) and then just go through and find neat stims you feel fit.
you can do this tip with pretty much anything else, like colours, specific stims, etc.
the best stims to use is subjective, so there isn’t really a rule to it. just pick what you think is best.
so, when i pick my stims, i:
find a stim i like and download it. i usually save it in a specific folder for gifs.
i then like the post, so that i can refer back to it later when i credit the gif sources.
i then find another stim i like, download it, like it, etc etc, until i have eight stims.
2. converting your gifs from webp to gif.
so, tumblr has an annoying habit of downloading everything as webp, so here’s the work around i use. you have to do this individually for all the gifs. you can find bulk converters, but i’ve found they ruin the quality of the gifs, so i use this method.
i start off on this page, though resizing your stims isn’t required. i go for 250 x 250 px.
once you’ve done that, do not download the gif, instead go to the button next to it, to GIF.
if this doesn’t appear, that means tumblr downloaded it as a gif and you can download it and move on! this can sometimes happen, but check all your stims.
when you click on that, you come to another bit of the website. this is actual part where you convert from webp to gif.
all you have to do is click the convert button and redownload the gif! and you’re done!
3. (optional) editing your gifs!
if you pick stims that all fit together pretty well, you can just move on to 4. but, if you picked a few stims that don’t fit together colour wise, etc, i’ll tell you how to fix that!
there are a few ways to make your stims look cohesive.
for matching colours, go for hue or colour layers! these are a very easy way to make your gifs match. but, they might not work as well on stims with hands, stims with multiple colours, etc.
experiment with other things! if your stims are too bright or loud, lower the saturation; if your stims are too dark or too light, mess with the brightness!
this is all trial and error, i’ll be honest. but if you can’t find a solution to a problem, don’t worry. chances are, no one will take notice of it in the finished post. trust me.
4. making the middle icon!
you can do this at any point in the project; honestly, we tend to do this first, so we know how to make the stims look when we edit them. but, you can do it whenever.
these are easy, just go about them as if you were making a regular icon! i usually go for a smaller icon size, and make them simpler than my usual icons, but its really up to personal preference.
5. compiling your post!
we have tips on stimboard composition you can find here! but otherwise, this step is pretty easy. add them all to your post and align them into the three grid you usually see.
now, you can type in your title, add any comments you want to make, and then pick how you are going to lay out your credits!
6. credit
so, on the stimboards you usually see around, you will see a line of emojis or symbols, with links. this is where they found the stims they used!
pick your symbols/emojis! lay them out in three’s, representing the layers of your stimboard.
refer back to the posts you liked earlier when picking your stims. and find where the link for that specific gif is on that post. its usually pretty obvious which one it is.
you might have to click through a few different web pages to find the original creator, but the best way to tell if its the original poster, is if it links back to youtube, or instagram, instead of tumblr.
if the link goes to a dead blog/link, go back and credit the last post you saw it on.
then, go back to your post and copy that link into the symbol that represents that specific stim.
do this for all your stims!
7. tagging
tagging stimboards is like tagging most other posts, but there are a few things that are reccomended!
first tag your usual edit/fandom stuff, then the specific stims used.
this is because, its common for people in the stimming community to block tags of the stims they do not like, so make sure to tag the specific stims.
after that, tag things like hands, knives, etc! this is for the same reason as above.
and you are done! well done, you created your first stimboard! they are a little time consuming, but really, really fun. i hope this was helpful!
