Well, we have too—and that's why we've made the decision to retract our sponsorship of NaNo.

Your support and belief in human creativity, transparency and collaboration mean everything to us, and we're committed to staying true to that. Thank you all! 💙

I don't think this pain will ever fade. It's hard to ignore the piece of me cut out and pulled away. I'll just be happy if he can be happy.

You know sometimes I wonder, “damn where did this random lust for robots come from?” And then I remember what I grew up watching

[kneelingshadowsalome]

Genuinely so obsessed with the ask you answered about reader being associated with König’s childhood bullies and coming back years later to try and make amends……. I need the angst, the drama, the nasty disgusting degrading sex, the absolute turmoil on both of their parts 😭 I am starving for this, the way you portray König especially there is exactly how I’ve always envisioned him in my mind!!!!!! And then with reader desperately trying to make him happy now out of guilt and her crush that’s grown 10x since she saw him in school, delusionally hoping and believing there’s a *relationship* between them and she can fix what she thinks she allowed to happen back then 10 years after the fact, while König is constantly fighting himself to not fall for reader despite his own buried crush resurfacing, and convincing himself he’s only using her to release stress and tension after assignment while simultaneously holding so much resentment for her and her sheer proximity to the people that tormented him back then, I am foaming at the mouth for the toxic dynamics to be found there !!!!!!!!! The old him begging to fulfill some childish need to have her, while this new monstrous version of himself only wants to watch her suffer to repent for how he had to suffer !!!!!!!!!!!!

I know right?! I’m obsessed with this too!

I’m so here for the toxic relationship dynamic (sue me), also me and @bucca2/@wordstome had a whole conversation about this yesterday because König would bend over backwards to self sabotage this shit.

(The following is mainly a summary from our brainstorm session from last night + I have bucca to thank for the precious meme at the end, it’s König in a nutshell with his high school crush lol)

First of all our girl is sooo in love. She was in love when they were young, but now? She’s a goner, König is out of this world. He's so handsome, so confident, the epitome of cool if there ever was one... and God, would you look at those muscles?

Now she can finally drool all over him but back then, what was she to do? As the shy one of the clique, she always tried to avoid attention; she could never have endured what König did. Perhaps it was cowardly of her, but she really was just scared. She could only dream about him from afar, and in her dreams, they would both change schools due to their parents moving or something... Ending up in the same area, finally getting to be together like it was a miracle, Deus ex Machina.

Her silly dreams never came true, but it looks like they're coming to fruition now. And this time, she's going to make everything better! Now that they're both grown up and free from their tormentors she can finally admit that she has feelings for him, feelings that are only sparked fast aflame when she sees the man he has become.

And König can’t stand it.

Where was she when he was odd and scrawny? Where was she when he cried himself to sleep over her?? Of course she wants him now that he’s big, independent and menacing, an odd nerd who discovered guns and gym... He thought she was better than this.

Deep inside, he’s still like this:

...but we just need to forget about it because König is NOT going to fold for this girl.

He’s not.

And the sex is so NASTY. Bordering on degrading, König wants to be a gentleman when it comes to ladies, but this one? This one he wants to fuck like he paid for her. She brings out the beast in him, and he finds himself asking her to get on her knees and blow his cock on some filthy cruise... Fucks her like he doesn’t love her, and she’s absolutely lovestruck, when did König become so mean? (God, that she loves him)

Trying not to fall in love with her (as if he ever fell out), König is so incredibly mad at this girl – is this what she wanted this whole time? A buff jerk who fucks her doggystyle until her knees bleed, who gives her the bare minimum, who barely even calls her when he’s away? (He has to physically restrain himself from doing that because of course he’d like to hear her pick up the phone with pure hope in her voice)

While changing his tactics and devising a plot to make her pay, König doesn’t even understand that he’s falling fast for her again while becoming now (seemingly) the best version of himself. It's only to dump her later, of course. He's just being nice so that she'll cry over losing him later. He brings her flowers, eats her out for hours, getting sick satisfaction from the way she cries about how it’s the best sex she’s ever had. He’s going to bring her to her knees, in more ways than just one... She’s going to remember him for the rest of his life when he rearranges her guts, ruining her for any other man.

König is becoming the thing he hates the most while she’s learned her lesson, now wearing her heart on her sleeve. No more shame and secrets, she’s not afraid to tell him how she feels! How she always had a small crush on him… And not even that small… How she loved to hear his presentations, no matter what silly subject they were about because he had actually done his research. How she could’ve swooned when his voice changed. After a short breaking period, he started to talk lower than anyone else in the class, earning himself more of that bullying because he sounded so manly at such a young age.

König is about to burst a blood vessel when hearing all this: she had a crush on him back then? What the actual fuck??

And then come the cuddles, the slow mornings, the coffee and toast, the showering together… She leaves her toothbrush in his place, and it stares at him accusingly from the side of the sink. She wears his t-shirts and looks absolutely gorgeous, mouth-watering and sweet in them. His sexy little minx, the one who didn’t get away…

Wait, what? No. No. No!

And when his high school sweetheart confesses her love for him for the first time, she's so open and vulnerable and sweet about it. Like she has been from the start, his sweet, sweet girl, exactly the kind of woman he always wanted to bring home to see his mom. König is about to lose his mind when she tugs at his shirt, almost cries when she says how much she loves him and couldn’t bear to live without him… She would cry herself to the grave if anything ever happened to him…

(König is like:)

☆ you go shopping with mitsuki for bakugo's surprise b-day party decorations! ☆

day 3 of the explosive birthday celebration ! hosted by @queenpiranhadon

hanging out with katsuki's mom secretly was not easy, especially when he liked to know where you were and who you were with. not in a crazy, possessive way of course, it's just how he showed he cared.

but when mitsuki, his mom, asked you to go decoration shopping with her, you couldn't just deny her offer. maybe this could be an opportunity to learn more about katsuki, you thought.

while you were shopping for the decorations, you quickly noticed that katsuki had gotten a lot of her personality traits. this was something you knew already, but spending time with her one on one really solidified that idea.

"what do you think about these banners, sweetie?" mitsuki asked, holding up two different 'happy birthday' banners. one was all black, and the other was orange. the color theme of the party was his hero costume colors, which were black, green, and orange.

you hummed and looked at the rest of the decorations in the cart, noticing there was already a lot of color, "i think we should go with the black."

she nodded and threw the banner into the basket, "you've got a good eye, kid." she said, making you smile at the small compliment.

suddenly your phone began to ring and you already had an idea of who it was. picking up the phone, you said "hey katsuki." causing mitsuki to turn around and make a questioning face at you.

you shrugged your arms at her, trying to silently tell her you didn't know why he was calling.

"why the hell are you at the store with my old hag?" he asked, making you chew your nails nervously as you thought of an excuse.

"we're just shopping, katsuki. why are you looking at my location anyways? stalker."

you could already see the veins popping out on his forehead at your question, "answer my question dammit!"

you rolled your eyes, "if you really want to know, i just wanted her help with some outfit ideas. your mom is a fashion designer, you know."

he hmphed and said, "whatever. why didn't you ask me?"

you groaned internally at his question, "because i know you're busy with school work right now-and don't even try to say you're not!"

he mumbled something on the other side, "fine. have fun with the hag."

"stop calling her that! anyways, i need to go okay? talk to you later-bye!" you said, quickly cutting him off before he could say anything else.

you sighed and faced mitsuki, "sorry, he had a million questions about why i was with you. i had to lie about why we were shopping together."

she laughed, "that damn brat doesn't know how to keep his nose out of other peoples business." she said, making you laugh in return since you knew how true it was.

the two of you continued shopping for decorations, finally stopping when the cart seemed full enough.

"i think that's everything, right?" you said, double checking the list you made beforehand.

mitsuki nodded. "it should be. if not, i'll get what we need by myself another time." she said, making you hum.

after checking out and paying for everything, while walking back to her car she said, "thanks for helping me with this. i know katsuki can be a pain sometimes, but you're good to him, so i'm glad you get to help plan his party with us." she then proceeded to pat the top of your head with her free hand roughly, much like katsuki would.

you smiled at her words, "it's no problem. i'm glad to be here."

Aziraphale narrowed his eyes. “So, I take it the rumours about a red-headed demon tormenting Kent were false, then?”

Crowley snickered. “You do realize the English will call any pagan a demon, don’t you? By Óðinn, some would call any ginger a demon.” They looked off into the distance, but were soon caught by the raised eyebrow on the angel’s face. “What?” They barked at his bemused face.

“By Óðinn?” Aziraphale repeated, incredulously. “You’ve really gone native, haven’t you?”

866 CE, the city of York is attacked. Crowley is minding his own business among the Vikings, while Aziraphale is hiding among the English as a bowman. They meet in secret, trying to find an arrangement, when suddenly they are interrupted...

August is finally here, and the Good Omens Minisode Minibang Reverse Bang Edition can now begin!!

↓Details after the cut↓

Hello, hello, hello!

My dear writer @cassiecasyl and I, we have the great and vaguely stressful honour of publishing the very first fanfiction of this event!

As a reminder: last May, we artist had to submit an art piece revolving around the theme of Good Omens historical minisodes. Then all artists were anonymously paired with an author who would create a short story of at least 3k words based on said artwork!

That was a fantastic journey! Thanks @go-minisode-minibang !

and sorry everybody for the double post. I was editing as usual my draft on my phone and saving it but Tumblr suddenly decided to post it yolo mode

Criss Cross Star Crossed

An Inu-Spiration Tanabata Bang Collaboration with Dawnrider

It was my absolute privilege to be paired with @dawnrider for this bang. We've known each other for a while, and I adore her writing. I just know you're going to love her story - it has all the things I cherish in an Inuyasha canon setting that make me kick my heels in glee while I'm reading. Please leave her some love in the comments when you reblog!

Once you've read Dawnrider's story, this art will make more sense. I wanted to convey the feeling that Inuyasha and Kagome got caught up in something much bigger than themselves, and it meant that my art started out on a regular sized canvas and then got dragged into panoramic proportions when I realised it wasn't conveying the feeling the story evoked for me.

This one took a while for me to do, and me dragging my feet had absolutely nothing to do with Dawn's amazing work - my life at the moment is just full of Too Many Things. But there's nothing like an ADHD panic fest at the last minute to make you produce something - I'm just lucky I live on the arse end of the Earth and it gives me an extra 11 hours or so, otherwise I absolutely would have been marked down for handing in my assignment in a tardy fashion...

Anyway, I hope you like it! Can't wait to see all the lovely art and fiction crossing our dash for this event!

An Inu-Spiration Tanabata Bang Collaboration with Ruddcatha

For this @inu-spiration I got to partner with @ruddcatha with It Takes A Friend to Open Your Eyes! It was delightfully fun to work on, and as can see from the censor, very spicy stuff is happening 😉

Tumblr Writing Community (TWC)

Kevin has been here since 2011 typing late into the night his words like quiet echoes in the dark corners of the internet

the Tumblr Writing Community they call it the TWC but to Kevin, it’s a living, breathing thing a family bound not by blood but by words

here, in this strange, ever-shifting space he’s found poets who weave stardust into sentences who turn heartbreak into art who let silence speak louder than sound

over the years he’s watched the words pile up mountains of prose and poetry each piece a fragment of a soul together, they’ve built something beautiful fragile, and fierce a place where vulnerability is power

Kevin remembers the early days the quiet conversations the way a single rhyme could ripple finding its way into another writer’s heart it was never about the blue poetry tags ...the likes, or the notes but about connection about the shared understanding that here you could be raw you could be real

now, years later he still writes his words shaped by a decade of voices of strangers who became friends the TWC has changed just as he has just as we all have but the heart of it remains beating in every poem in every line whispered into the void and found by someone else who knows exactly what it means

...to them

[ellipsus-writes]

Back when we started Ellipsus (it's been eighty-four years… or two, but it sure feels like forever), we encountered generative AI.

Immediately, we realized LLMs were the antithesis of creativity and community, and the threat they posed to genuine artistic expression and collaboration. (P.S.: we have a lot to say about it.)

Since then, writing tools—from big tech entities like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, to a host of smaller platforms and publishers—have rapidly integrated LLMs, looking to capitalize on the novelty of generative AI. Now, our tools are failing us, corrupted by data-scraping and hostile to users' consent and IP ownership.

The future of creative work requires a nuanced understanding of the challenges ahead, and a shared vision—writers for writers. We know we're stronger together. And in a rapidly changing world, we know that transparency is paramount.

So… some Ellipsus facts:

We will never include generative AI in Ellipsus.

We will never access your work without explicit consent, sell your data, or use your work for exploitative purposes.

We believe in the strength of creative communities and the stories they tell—and we want to foster a space in which writers can connect and tell their stories in freedom and safety—without compromise.

To be Reminded of Her

Chapter 01 Summary: After Sabo’s death, Ace felt like they relied heavily on one another, Luffy for his last brother and Ace for the last thing keeping him from just removing his cursed existence. Luffy still didn’t understand everything that was going on with him, but he knew that he was one of the last things tethering him to this world and made it his personal goal to let Ace know he adored and cared for him.

He thinks he once heard Dadan call it an unhealthy coping mechanism, but what did that old hag know? Nothing, that’s right.

This piece of work that is coming to the papers after waiting almost three whole months of being done couldn't have happened without some key components and major help in the production part of it!

The Idea was given by @arielxlazarus, Beta read by @lerya-fanfic and Art by @madbunsy! Thank you all for the help in this behemoth of a story!

Sand castles and sunshine

Seashells on pristine shores

Palms and willows and pines

Stained glass on opening doors

So many marvels in this wide world!

There are so many ways to appreciate beauty. Be curious.

Explore more.

Sunsets are recordable, so grab a camera and go.

The world is a giant place, and all of it is home.

Study the stars, even if you rent a telescope.

Find hope. Hold on to the end of the rope.

Or let go, and know that the person you are growing into will catch you to even every score.

Stay open to the wonders around

Keep an eye on the sky above

Sights and sounds good vibes abound

Joy and delight, peace and love

To tickle the senses and serenely astound

Rock hound. If your eyes aren't on the sky, they should be on the ground.

The world is interesting when we look around.

Shouts of joy come from "look what I found!"

We can get our fill of beauty and grace

Knowledge meant to set us all free

It's an infectious laugh, a warm caring face

In the very essence of you, in me

It's time to wake up and feel the rush. Unshackled and unchained to achieve our dreams.

To realize that it is beautiful and important to have self belief.

The heart of everything, the seed

All we truly ever need

Maybe this is because im a professional theater artist but i do think its really funny that daniel acts like armand being the director of the trial is such a slam dunk and means he was responsible for the whole thing. Girl director is just a job. Directors aren't dictators they're just in charge of the visual language of the piece. If theyre gonna kill his boyfriend on his stage hes gonna make sure the blocking isnt ass. Hes a professional.

Norse!Crowley & Archer!Aziraphale - Minisode Minibang: another brand new story, by @the-bentley!

Swiftly, Crowley pivoted on one heel, his hand pulling out the long knife hidden away in his armour. He half-crouched on the grass, knife held high with his arm bent in a defensive position.

“Hello, Crowley.”

Aziraphale stood before him. His face registered a mild expression of mixed curiosity and alarm that Crowley appeared here unannounced. For his part, Crowley was just as curious and alarmed that Aziraphale walked among these doomed people.

“What are you doing here, angel?”

Aziraphale’s mouth twisted into an annoyed expression. “It’s been several centuries since we last saw each other, and that’s what you have to say to me?”

Crowley grabbed him up in a hug, planting his lips on Aziraphale’s for a long kiss as the wind blew around them. “You need to go,” he murmured. “The Vikings are coming.”

“I’m here to protect these people. I’ve helped train them to defend themselves.” Aziraphale touched his forehead to Crowley’s. “Leaving is not an option.”

“Angel…the Vikings’ll discorporate you. You don’t need that paperwork.” Crowley looked around. “Is there a warmer place we can talk in private?”
