GUESS WHO IS ALL CAUGHT UP WITH LIAB (finally)!!!

now i have to actually wait for chapters... sigh

but seriously i love this series so far. keep up the great work

YOU'RE CAUGHT UP?!?!

wooohoooo!! I’m so happy you enjoyed!!!!

[gomzdrawfr]

hey for no reason. if Raven was a car,, what type and colour of car do you think she would be…?

I had to delete a whole paragraph cuz in the midst of my delusions I thought you were asking what kind of car she would be (my answer was Aston Martin DB5 - dont judge I really love that car since I was a kid okay and I think she'll look cool as hell as one - and Porsche 914/6 shade 1110)

The simplest answers are black, silver and dark blue

I love really shiny coatings BUT personally I think for Raven her coating might lean more towards matte finish (look up satin black cellulose paint)

There are wayyyyy too many silver shade out there but lemme tell ya nothing beats a good ol bright silver metallic paint, I don't think the ones that are leaning towards pearl shades would suit her (slightly yellowish - look up Malaysia's Civic and BR-V in Platinum White Pearl Colour)

This one is oddly specific (and can you imagine I know this brand bcuz years ago Jeffrey Star's car paint job used one of these brands) but like cyborg blue or blue demon looks so hot (yay sparkles!!)

If we wanna talk about sparkles and fancy schmancy (but less durability) stuff it'd be vinyl wrap....like the gradients one ooooooo I think Raven would look so good with purple to blue matte kind OR OR the black to blue on the hood...

listen i am geralt of rivia hater number one but one thing i actually CANNOT stand is when the fandom mischaracterizes him. took one look at this man who speaks very straight-forwardly and matter-of-fact and is a little recalcitrant with his words sometimes and went "haha he communicates in grunts! man who only says 'hm'!" and then won't even write him to speak in full fucking sentences. hello???? hello???????? yes the netflix show was a bad influence on everybody because they were trying too hard to depict geralt as a stoic manly badass but we CANNOT let that distract us from the REAL thing to make fun of geralt for. which are his Constant Unprovoked Monologues

[verpineshatterrifle]

oh boy i love finding new people to block in a post that wasn't even about kal and as far as i can tell he wasn't even directly mentioned in any of the notes

[pynkhues]

Hi! I just wanted to tell you how much I love your “and the spell was cast” series, ESPECIALLY “love me at the ungodly hour”. Honestly, your prose and writing style, your characterization of the characters and your smut are FLAWLESS. Best bottomstat on the whole site. I religiously re-read the series at least once a month.

I don’t know if you accept suggestions or prompts or anything of ste sort, and it’s completely ok if you don’t, but I just came across this hilarious prompt https://x.com/flopstat/status/1835995675550511150?s=46 and I don’t think anyone would write it better than you! Would you consider making a fic of this? I genuinely think you’d be the best at doing it.

Thanks if you’ll reply <3

Hi! Ah! Thank you!! I'm still so overwhelmed with the response to my fics in this fandom (and Ungodly Hour in particular), and it honestly does mean so much when people reach out like this. Just - - yes! Thank you!

I do accept prompts! Actually, it was a lot of people asking me if I'd write Lestat and Louis talking about Magnus that got me to write Ungodly Hour, and a lot of people asking if I'd write a reunion fic that made me write Steady Murmur, haha, to say nothing of previous fandoms that I've written for. I love that twitter thread too (I actually think I might've seen it screencapped on here), and I especially laughed at the idea of Louis still ghosting Lestat at the end of it all, but I don't know if I'd be the best at writing it! I don't think I'm a very funny writer, which I feel like that concept needs?

That said, never say never! Inspiration may strike! I'd probably make it angstier than anyone wants though, especially because I think Lestat would not do well in therapy at all, haha.

[seventh-district]

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go

(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

ailette's parasocial relationship with tesilid is soooo funny because they met once when they were kids and then when they met again aged 20 she is already SO protective. and then a few scant months later she is like. so heartbroken at him getting tortured at the sculptor's atelier and so solemn about how quiet he got afterwards and then like less than one month later??? she's basically already quitely accepted that she's in love and wants to date him???

like girl they had met TWICE before this and like 60-70% of what she knows about Tesilid is from what she READ. it's like if you lost contact w your childhood crush but they became an idol and you became their fan and you fell in love with what you read about them on fanposts or whatever. i mean it's a little different because idols have public personas and the novel's narration isn't postured, but you get the idea ! a lot of her affection is bound up by the fact that she journeyed with him through those rounds by reading about it over and over; but she wasn't really there with him, not really. he certainly wasn't aware that she was watching and his experiences do differ from what she knows.

and amazingly it WORKS OUT because tesilid is just as obsessed with her. age 14 or something going "no we ARE going to meet again i'm sure of it". okay you two. you're made for each other for real 😭🥹🥹🥹

[j-crow]

every time someone doesnt tag religious guilt and/or internalized homophobia on a fic an angel loses its wings

[meownotgood]

Holy fuckkkkkkk I found you through your viktor fics and my god, the way you portray him and gojo in your fics is just…insane. Like actually insane.

It’s done in such a “psychological analysis” way that it’s extremely refreshing.

You understand the characters to their core—it’s something impossible to recreate, it’s like you create the characters and let them play out the scene, not as if you were writing with a story in mind.

You’re so great I’m gonna read fics about fandoms I don’t even know lol.

thank you so much for reading!! 🥹 I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my fics... that's so kind of you to say... it makes me so proud that you like them!!! I hope I can write more fics for you to enjoy 🫂

[turtle--soup]

i'm asking a few people, do you have any tmnt fanfic recs for short stories? like 5000 words or less? i love to read turtle fics but my attention span is pretty low. thank you so much if you do and even if you don't!

It just so happens that my attention span is also pretty limited, so I tend to look for shorter fics!

Here are a few that I found when looking through my bookmarks on ao3. Somehow they're almost all based on the 2003 series?

I hope you like domestic fluff...

Ask meme!

I was tagged by @glowwormsmith! Thank you :)

Rules: Spell out your URL using song titles that can describe your muse/OC/pairings, then tag as many people as there are letters in your URL!

My URL isn’t the best for this game because it simply consists of the same two letters twice (I didn’t take the numbers into account), but I still scoured my entire music library to find titles that worked! I chose my OC Taylor Rook, John Seed, and the couple they form in my heart because of course I did. There are four letters in my username so I’m tagging four people: @cassietrn, @laindtt, @simplegenius042, and @strafethesesinners (only if you feel like doing this, of course)!

(Not all the tracks I wanted have lyrics, so I did this a little differently than you did and wrote a little “story” instead):

In Hope County, Taylor really became a “Lurking Danger” [Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV] and had to walk along many “Unfamiliar Paths” [Cliff Martinez - Far Cry 4]. John kept telling her, “Let The Water Wash Away Your Sins” [Dan Romer - Far Cry 5], but she remained “Untouchable” [Niels Bye Nielsen - HITMAN 2]. As for the Baptist, deep down, he was just a “Lost Child” [Brian Tyler - Far Cry 3], but on the outside, the thing most people noticed and talked about was his “Unsettling Aura” [Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV]. I wish he had had time to “Learn To Let Go” [Kesha - Rainbow]*, but all he did in the game was try to be “Unstoppable” [Sia - This Is Acting]*. Their story didn’t end well, so in another world, one that only exists in my head, they decide to “Let It Go” [Demi Lovato - Frozen] and stop being “Under The Gun” [Motörhead - Kiss of Death] all the time because I just want them to sing “Love Me Forever” [Motörhead - 1916]* and “Underneath Your Clothes” [Shakira - Laundry Service]* to each other instead!

*actually for these the lyrics also work

[hopecomesbacktolife]

hey, just. friendly reminder that fanfiction is morally neutral.

yes, that includes smutty fics. yes, that includes self-insert fics. yes, that includes the fics you consider Problematic TM and the fics you don’t think are Smart or New. in fact that’s kind of why I’m writing this post.

I know we all love to talk about Themes And Narratives, but—and please listen to me very carefully here—you are not earning Good Place Points for only reading the kinds of fan fiction you feel are Smart or Only Focuses On The Important Things Like Themes.

fan fiction is morally neutral.

what I mean is this: no one is harming you, themselves, or anyone, by writing a fic about two characters having sex. (are you uncomfortable with the fact that I typed the word “sex”? hi, this post is about you. people have sex. and they write and talk about it. it’s seriously fine.)

no one is being harmed by self insert fics, by smutty fics, by anything not exclusively Smart TM about the fandom or analytically adding to it.

(and that’s not to say these two types of fics, that any type of fic, can’t have those elements— some of my favorite fic authors, my mutuals, my tumblr friends, write fic in these genres, and they also explore Themes and Emotions and analyze character traits and histories and write brilliant plots and incredible character arcs and yknow what, it’s amazing! it’s fantastic to examine what makes two characters react a certain way to x situation while also having them fuck nasty about it!) (and yes, I did just type ‘fuck nasty about it’ and I promise, that’s fine, too.)

what I’m saying, though, is that it doesn’t NEED that to, I dunno, somehow validate it into existing. it just Is. it just Exists. it doesn’t need an aspect you Approve Of TM in order to earn the right to be shared, to be written, to be published and commended and interacted with and read. it just. Is.

and I think a lot of especially younger, or newer, tumblr users especially get uncomfortable with that, and they unintentionally veer right (..ha) into self-censoring, puritanical behavior which is exactly what every person trying to ban books and generally kill art, wants. (and we’re not even going to examine in depth here, beyond mentioning it, the fact that policing, censuring, and banning art has historically and still today is being used to silence marginalized voices, so, I ask you to keep that in mind as you think on this, too, please.)

what I’m trying to say is this—if you personally don’t enjoy smut, don’t enjoy self insert fics, don’t enjoy a certain genre, that’s great, you do you! but, you must, must understand that this is not a moral stance. You are not objecting to a problematic practice, exploited workers, consent issues, labor crises… none of that applies, because no one in these stories is a real person. a story written about two Star Trek characters kissing on the bridge of the Enterprise is just that, a story. there is no actor for whose rights to fight, no wages to dispute fairness of, no ethical ramifications of scenes to discuss. these are Fictional People in Fictional Situations.

fan fiction is morally neutral.

and the moment you try to make yourself feel Better TM, More Correct TM, or—one of the ones I encounter the most—Smarter TM, by saying oh, I don’t read that kind of fic, I read the good kind, with thought in it—

you’re not only causing harm, you’re actively employing art censoring behavior. is that something that you want to do? I hope not. I certainly don’t.

next time you see a fic or a genre you don’t Approve Of TM, please remember the easiest way of exhibiting that— simply scrolling by or blocking a tag! If you’re on ao3, their system is incredible for niche content searches, and blocking a tag even here on tumblr will (most of the time) work.

I just., there’s so many better options out there for you than to… act like this. I believe you, we, all of us, can be better than this.

fanfiction. is. morally. neutral.

[foxgloveinspace]

fox your tags on the falcon/pigeon video are sending me

i can’t wait for the rest of your fic because those tags are going to haunt me. i need to witness how falcon/pigeon coded sam and rinzler are (i still want to say rizzler every time i see his name)

ok, but the thing is, is that this is totally how i see them, in the sense that Sam does some dumb shit, and kinda flirts without expectations, but it WORKS. It works on Rinzler, and he's just stoically standing there.

but also, in this annalogy of Sam being a pigeon and Rinzler being a hawk, the pigeon is a god.

So a god is doing dumb things (like trying to take off on a lightjet without knowing how to make it work completely) with witty one liners and it's working.

Every time I see someone address @neil-gaiman with "Lord Gaiman" or something similar, I can't help but immediately envision the exchange kind of like that :D
