What is your favourite depiction of romance (or sex if you prefer) that you have produced? Or if you haven't produced one yet, then what is your favourite example from another creator?

Yes! This is the ask I was especially hoping to get! Thank you! ~♥

[Assume all links in this first paragraph are 18+] Aside from stuff that I haven't posted here, I still quite like this one which ticks both boxes, or at least ticks one and is extremely suggestive of the other. This one is also one that I still like and I plan to revisit the idea behind it later to fix some stuff and add it to the timeline when I get there. These two are also nice and sweet.

For my next trick I'm going to use this ask to shout out some other creators (because I was secretly hoping to get this ask to do just this lol)

From other Erenville x WoL creators, like p much all of what @deathflare posts makes me melt. I would also like to shout out @lilas @nabaath-areng @hotgirltavi @zeloinator

@shadowentei and @elizabethrobertajones for also having great Erenville x WoL ships and taste. ♥

For other non-Erenville related content; @hythlodaes and their lovely Emile and their beautiful and moving cinematic shots. @ahollowgrave also does stunning romantic shots and Odette is drop-dead gorgeous. Also @iron-sparrow whose Yein is the embodiment of love in all forms. Also also @oneiroy and @verysmallcyborg whose Ryss and Fornax are such a powerful couple and peak romance.

I absolutely missed people, but I hope that showcases at least a small handful of the other people out there doing beautiful romantic work as well. I am particularly fond of anything that is very sweet and soft.

hi love! not sure if anyone else has told you the context for yuki's ig story post but during qualifying he was overheard using the r-slur on the radio.

the fia reported him to the race stewards who decided on a 40,000 euro fine for inappropriate comments on team radio (half paid now and half suspended for the rest of the season - he'll be required to pay the other 20,000 euros if he's found in violation again).

per the stewards note, he was apologetic and genuinely remorseful during his meeting with the race stewards and offered to issue the public apology, which is on both twitter and ig stories.

hope that brings you up to speed on what happened <3

hii lovey! oh my god thank you so much for this! last night i turned off the stream right after Q3 ended so i didn't know what happened.

truly it's disappointing he said that but he owned his mistakes, wrote his own apology with no excuses, did not blame other people, and did not victimize himself. went straight to the point and im so glad he did that. he knows what he did was wrong and apologize

hi! 💜 9, 20 and 23 for the music ask 🌻

Hello love! 🌿

9. A song that makes you happy

"I Don't Even Know Your Name" - Alan Jackson

Less so that I listen to this song and think that it's good, and more so that it is absurd to the point that I cannot help but laugh every time I hear it. I have no clue when or where I first came across this song. I have had it saved for several years at this point. There's just something about it.

20. A song that has many meanings to you

"Taxi Cab" - twenty one pilots

This entire album could fit this question, really, but this song in particular is one that I have carried with me for over a decade now and will continue to do so.

23. A song you think that everybody should listen to

"Vienna" - Billy Joel

This one was quite difficult, but I think Vienna holds a particular appeal that could reach almost everyone.

[bellandeano]

I am in love with your art, genuinely you have such skill and I'm in awe

😭😭 i haven't checked my inbox in forever - thank you sm!! that's so sweet

Awwww I loved that so much ! I missed your writing this was just the perfect bed time fluff !

thank u!! ♥️♥️♥️ bedtime fluff for all - the coziest of cozy stories so we can all fall asleep dreaming of snuggling up with spencer reid

[thehealingplum]

Hi so letting you know Unwelcome-ozian groomed and doxxed a teenager girl. They posted her personal information along with her trauma history after she came forward and spoke out against them. The allegations are serious and there's been a lot of proof posted. The blog is unsafe and predatory. heads up

That's unfortunate, thank you anon. It's terrible that people dealing with mental illness and trauma would continue the cycle. I will stop sharing content from them and I hope everyone effected by this is able to find safety and healing.

What is Suikoden about? :>

Ohhhhh hohohohoho Meg, you have no idea what you've done (I'm sorry this is going to get wordy... I just really love this series so so much).

So all the mainline Suikoden games (plus Suikogaiden I&II which are visual novels) take place in the same universe, some years apart. All the games have war as a main central conflict, but you usually play as a young "unnamed" protagonist (technically all the heros have like manga canon names iirc), with the exception of Suikoden III which took on a tritagonist situation where you switch between three main heros and then you make a decision about halfway through the game which one you want to be the "main" hero (as a bonus you also get to play the story from the "villain's" perspective as well if certain conditions are met). The series is based on the classic Chinese novel, The Water Margin (perhaps rather losely. I own the novel but I haven't actually ever gotten that far into reading it OTL).

One major important part of the story is the runes system, which is essentially the magic system. There's many runes that you can just straight up buy from vendors in the game, but then there are also 27 "True" runes, which are super powerful, and usually come with built in immortality (except the Rune of Punishment which.... Does not :)) and a lot of them also come with fun and horrible Extra "Perks":tm:! Each game also has at least one of the 27 True Runes that your protagonist ends up wielding. The in-game legend about the origins of the True Runes goes as follows (pulled this direct from the wiki):

In the beginning, there was "darkness." Then finally, the "darkness" shed a "tear." From that "tear," the brothers Sword and Shield were born. Sword Bragged that he can cut anything. Shield replied that he could protect anything. Then the brothers began a legendary battle for seven days and seven nights. At the end, Sword cut Shield and Shield smashed Sword. Sword became the sky, Shield became the earth, and the sparks from the battle became the stars. And the jewels that adorn Sword and Shield Became the True Runes-- The runes that all other runes were born from.

Each game has a "base" that your hero finds at some point that gets built up not only as the story progresses, but also as you recruit characters to your army. Which is another thing all the games share! There is a collection of 108 recruitable characters in each game (give-or-take as III is kind of different in that it includes antagonists, and also the other games have some characters that will take other's places depending on certain conditions e.g. there's one character, who if you make certain decisions, will die in battle, and his son will join your army in his place, taking his place in the roster, but if you don't make those decisions, you keep the father and never meet his son). Not all the recruitable characters are playable in battle however, some of them are there as either battle support, offering you different benefits to your combat party, and some are there to add things to your base such as minigames, shops, or entertainment (The Suikoden II Iron chef style minigame is still my all time favorite videogame minigame, although some of that might be nostalgia talking lol). It's incredibly rewarding to return to your base after recruiting people and then find another wing added onto it and sometimes with more fun minigames to play. It really starts to feel so lively! Also if you recruit all 108 characters and fill your roster (known in-game as the Tablet of Stars) usually before the final major tactical battle, you unlock different really cool extras (like the aforementioned ability in III where you get to play through parts of the game from the "antagonist's" PoV)

Oh gosh, another thing all the games have in common is there are three battle systems. 1) your typical turn-based system (6 characters):

2) a duel system where it's 1v1 in a sort of rock-paper-scissors style thing where you have to read your oppenent's dialogue to determine how they're going to attack and react accordingly or take massive damage

and 3) the large-scale "tactical" battles, where you set up battle units with the characters you've recruited and then you essentially play a semi-chance based version of chess and fling them at each other on the field and try to reduce the enemy to a certain number, hold out until a certain amount of moves/time has passed, or just all out reduce their army to zero.

(also lol this video has the joke about Viktor's Lion flag)

Along with all the war, there's a bunch of deeper underlying themes like companionship, loyalty, hope, grief, loss, guilt, you know all the happy fun JRPG style storytelling elements! And honestly that's what really elevates the games. I think it's a lot like some of XIV, especially StB and HW in that respect. Like yes, war is going on, and it's the main big central conflict, but there's always more to keep you engaged and interested in the heroes and their journeys. I was going to go on and explain a synopsis of each game specifically, but lol just this is already soooooo long. There's also a villain (he's not the main villian.... ohhhhh no) in the first two games who's a vampire, his name is Neclord (fuckin lol), and he has a bangin battle soundtrack:

There is literally so much more I could say about the series, but like literally if it sounds even slightly interesting to you, I implore you to pick up the remasters when they come out in March (I believe on multiple platforms, including Steam and Switch iirc?)

Also a special mention about the creator Yoshitaka Murayama, who passed away in February of this year. He created his own game studio, Rabbit & Bear Studios which developed the Spiritual successor series to the Suikoden series, Eiyuden Chronicle (which had an incredibly successful kickstarter campaign and is available to play to the public right now, and I own but have not yet played).
