Hey, if you do crafts (especially things like crochet, knitting, embroidery, etc), make sure to look up how to identify when a listing is AI generated. You do NOT want to waste money on an incredible looking kit or pattern that is physically impossible to make, especially if you're on sites like etsy hoping to support an actual artist.

Sometimes tweeter people know their stuff- this is the right kind of toxic angst I want to read.

[velvetwyrms]

is it true that porn of any kind (erotica, audio, pics, etc) rots the brain? like, is there any truth to the idea that I'm damaging my brain permanently? I mainly like to read erotica on tumblr or ao3. I've also seen people refer to anyone who likes any type of porn as degenerates and sex pests.

is this what we're doing now. we're calling people degenerates just for reading horny fanfic.

besties we are never ever never ever never ever never escaping conservative christianity.

there are so many things on gods green earth that are not platonic but are also not romantic. the erotic, the familial, the unconditional, weird codependency, weird codependency (hatred edition), etc. let us all broaden our horizons

Hey hey hey listen to me [snaps my fingers in front of your face] you’re not going to be mean to kids joining Tumblr because TikTok got banned right? You’re not going to make fun of them because they’re ‘cringe’, especially on the supposed ‘cringe is dead’ app, right? You’re not going to go out of your way to just be hostile to children because you don’t like them, right?

“Oh but they deserve it, they’re annoying” cunts were saying that shit about you when you were ‘uwuing’ and ‘smol beaning’ on here in 2015. Kids will always be annoying and your generation, nor will you, ever be an exception to that rule. This app isn’t like an exclusive club, be fucking nice for once.

"DID YOU KNOW THIS PERSON DRAWS PORN I AM CLUTCHING MY PEARLS" cool i am blocking you

Hmmm would anyone like to see my OCs?

[velvetwyrms]

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

Me after taking my meds: drives the scenic route home to see if there are any geese on the pond and does a little dance in line at the grocery store and comes home to throw everything​ in my fridge into a stew pot because I can finally taste food again while singing songs at my birds in which I replace all the instances of "she" with "Cheese" and doing a Dolly Parton impression on the phone to my sister

Someone motivate me to continue writing the next chapter of my JayVik Cosmic Horror/Found Fanily AU: Summertime and tell me what you want to see next bc I’m stuck for substance that isn’t purely plot-pushing. 😫

Here’s the JayVik fic for reference btw.

Mortimer Toynbee (previously Todd Tolansky) from my Kurt/Mort/Wanda fanfic: A Reminder. [Link here!]

This AU is ~20 years after the end of X-Men: Evolution and into the first 2 original X-Men movies. Toad is pushing 40 here, and has really grown into his skin!

Everyone go and read it. It’s genuinely one of my favourite stories I’ve written, and has received incredible feedback from readers that have come back year after year 🥰 Hopefully the next chapter I’m writing currently should conclude Arc 2, with a conclusion that has been years in waiting, but there is still plenty of the story left to tell!

[Please reblog to stop my hours of hard work from dying in your likes. This let’s others enjoy it and motivates me to write & draw more of this AU! <3]

[Velwyrm: Click for better quality, tumblr hates traditional artwork.

WIP time! Trying out a new art style for this blog, something ShapedTM and simple but colourful! Also drawing traditionally as much as I can nowadays.

Anyway, send more questions this way & I’ll be able to draw more replies because the inbox is a bit dried up 💖]

[velvetwyrms]

Happy new year folks! Here’s an update of what to expect from my blog in 2025.

Artwork:

I’m making an effort to draw more traditionally, despite people seeming to like my digital art more, so that I can improve upon and push myself and my artwork.

With this, I’m also broadening my horizons while getting back to some old fandoms that I love dearly. Expect to see lots of GaaLee, Team Shinki, a continuation of my Sand Family askblog: @ask-the-sand-fam, more JayVik and some good ol’ X-Men, my oldest fandom 🥰💖

Fanfiction:

I’m going to be writing more fanfic, aiming to update all three of my main ones this year as often as I’m able to, while taking time to make them as good as possible:

• Summertime: A Cosmic Horror, Alien Invasion + Found Family JayVik AU inspired by Cloverfield.

Also features: TimeBomb (+ adopted Isha), CaitVi, and Sevika as a disgruntled ex-boxer beer aunt. Focuses on the 60+ft Cosmic Eldritch MH version of Viktor btw.

Premise: The strangest summer of Jayce Talis’ life started with him sleeping through the apocalypse. Somehow, the events that followed just got weirder.

• Falling Fast Through Fragmented Universes: A Sci-Fi planet-hopping + They We’re Roommates GaaLee AU.

Also features: InoSaku, NejiTen and KakaGai.

Premise: An epic monsterlover romance ft. Alien!Gaara who is on a long, arduous journey through several universes, which Lee gets swept up in as a result of saving his life, with a few twists along the way.

• A Reminder: The one and only fic in the Nightcrawler/Scarlet Witch/Toad tag on ao3 🤣💖 This fic is my baby. I’ve been updating it for 6 years and it’s still going strong with the second arc concluding very soon!

Also features: Rogue/Shadow Cat, and Talia Wagner as a major plot point. This AU combines several timelines in one. Starts with X-men: Evolution that realistically develops into the first 2 X-men movies, and beyond, while remaining in-character. If you need prompting to read it, then I’ve received incredible feedback over my years of writing it 🥰😭💖

Premise: 15+ years after parting ways, Wanda and her family get an unexpected visit. Toad learns to be part of a family, and works to reconcile and move past his own demons, and some new, daunting feelings swept under the rug along the way.

Questions for you all: While I’m not asking permission to draw whatever I want, and will do so regardless of the answers, I’m curious to get to know my followers more. I have 3x questions for you all that I’d love to get feedback on:

1. Would you be just as hyped if I drew fanart traditionally as well as digitally? If so, stick around!

2. Are you excited that I’m going to be getting back to creating Naruto & some new X-Men fic/artwork? Fear not, I’m still into Arcane! Also, does OC stuff appeal to you?

3. What would you like to see more of from me this year? No promises, but I’m curious to hear back from you!

reminder that being against ai also means being against character.ai and not using character.ai and not interacting with character.ai

i've never talked to chatgpt i've never talked to character.ai i have no interest in talking to a chatbot even if it's fun or based on my comfort character. if we want companies to stop using ai we need to tell them we aren't going to interact with it - so don't.

don't talk to robots. full stop.

AWWW THATS SO GOOD TO KNOW! 😭💖💖💖 it was based on the many headcanons we shared as a writing/artist duo, I made an askblog at the time (I have a new one too @ask-the-sand-fam that I’ll hopefully pick back up after my break) and we collaborated frequently, so it means a lot to me that it’s a go-too for you even if I didn’t write it myself! 🥹💖 artless is an incredible writer!!

I think Gaara definitely struggled to be a good father in the beginning of caring for Shinki. The only reference he had was someone who turned him into a monster and then tried to kill him 6 times. I want to see him struggle with the needs of a child because he never got to be one. I want him to learn the difference between loving a sibling or nephew and loving your own child. I think he would have struggled because its new and hes never experienced the love of a father before.
