#amazing blog and mun. y'all are missing out

[former-mudscamps]

((Hey so like back in the beginning of February, I went through my posts in chrono-mode and just had a good ol’ time, but I also wrote down my reactions and saved it as a draft because??? reasons. Everything below is the og post!

Live notes from my throwback thursday-but-actually-its-wednesday:

-oh god the old art

-I used to characterize Willow WAaYYY differently holy shit; she started off with actual confidence?? wtf

-and remember when the tone was actually in line with AT

-do appreciate that little me was droppin' hints about Willow's past from day 1

-how old are Willow and the kids?? we just don't know; we've n e v e r known

-younger me thought she was hilarious. she was right.

-apparently Willow had an evil mudscamp twin

-remember when this blog was about mudscamps?

-she keeps saying "heck" instead of "fuck" jhgffghjk

-remember when I had to share a desktop with 8 family members and sneak on to post things in the middle of the night?

-Willow almost drowned once

-Queenie is just...absolute queen in every way, i'd d i e for her

-DEAR FUCKING GOD THE BUFFSCAMP

-Owl Wizard has always been so good... She's so important and I love and miss her more than words express;;

-The transformation scene... OW mun redrew that at some point and it was so lovely!!!!

-Willow for sure got like, d rast i ca ll y more anxious and timid once she was turned into a human. Maybe that actually kinda makes sense narratively? she had reason to be unafraid before people started paying attention. she also felt extremely uncomfortable in a human body at that point

-god i love king "i think im going to cause problems on purpose" frozen

-totally wack that at the start of this blog, Willow was completely illiterate and had 0 first hand experience with any technology more advanced than a windmill

-RAPH.... ABSOLUTE DARLING

-so many of these posts are just comedy go l d out of context

-apparently anons were threatening to sacrifice her to cthulhu for a while?????

-old willow was savage as hell sometimes goddamn

-she deadass, physically threw Sammy and Lily's birth mom away.....we love an icon

-the first comic I ever made for this blog is sweet as hell; i insulted the art in the og tags and just...you're gonna come a long way, kiddo

-Perb steppin the hell up to defend the fam against Eden?? sick as hell!!!!

-Eden has not changed one fucking bit

-Finn ALSO steppin the hell up!!! and the thread where Willow actually gets to meet him is so sweeeeet!!!

-do y'all remember puppy princess?? precious x1000000, absolute angel, im cryin over her

-TEENAGER WILLOW M!A WAS A THING AND SHE CUTE

-Willow actively trying to get someone to curse her is just so fuckin funny to me

-Saharah is here!!!! She is and always has been so pretty too godDAmN

-Raph babysitting the kids....kill me now before i go into cardiac arrest

-anon asks sammy what he wants to be when he grows up...."uh, a mudscamp...?" ICONIC

-willow stood the hell up to magdolin once holy shit??? famous last words but also u go girl

-willow FINALLY starts saying fuck

-fun fact: I didn't come up with Puppet Wizard until WAY later in the blog. She was a pretty late addition, which is funny considering how integral to the story she became

-SHEY

-I ALwaYS FORGET THEY MET CAUSE SHEY TRIED TO ROB WILLOW

-Skeletor is here for some reason??? and I am fucking ELATED

-just....this ask.... "Anonymous asked: My favourite thing to do is to watch best friends punch each other to death over me. I like that. Keeps my swag swag levels up. What's your hobby?"

-this was an awkward time for my art style....art puberty

-people keep leaving willow notes and forgetting that she can't read

-anon: "Sammy, how do you see your mom?" sammy: "With...my eyes??"

-willow has so many kickass moments in these old posts what the fuuuuuuck

-I think the mudscamp-by-day, human-by-night days were my favorite!!

-anons once gifted mudscamp!willow a jacuzzi

-i think this is about the time Willow started getting more timid, and again, it does somehow feel like a natural development. her lack of powers keeps coming up and situations start becoming a lot more dire, and interestingly enough, she starts getting real submissive around people she l i k e s. The fawning kinda behavior is definitely a result of abuse.

-WILLOW GETS A DRAMATIC CLOAK FOR WANDERING THE MOORS AT NIGHT AWWW YEAH

-Willow hasn't known what year it is for at least three years

-OW mun once spammed willow with puns and it was AMAZING

-one time lily dressed up as a ghost for halloween...just a lil sheet over her lil mudscamp self...PRECIOUS

-this post

*RAPTOR SCREECH* Okay, um. Wow. So I've been off and on with this blog for going on 5 years now and it feels like it's been sort of a battle. Gemma started out as a writing challenge: take a trope (girl with wings), and make them something that doesn't look like a mary-sue. Which really meant to me, to take time and flesh-out, develop and give depth to his character. I had a lot of things working against me: I started in a super saturated fandom (Marvel/Agents of SHIELD), a female character, and an OC (I mean, it's true isn't it?).  SO! Without further ado, here's a list of peeps, I tried to get as many as possible in here and do it alphabetically. I'm sorry if I missed anyone  FOLLOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE IF YOU DON’T ALREADY!

birb squad 

(people who just have been giving this blog life, when I see you in my notifications, I smile like an idiot.)

@agentharrisonofshield - FUCKING VIVIAN. I feel like Viv just keeps things interesting for Gemma, they probably met and Viv took one look at G and was like "oh, my sweet summer child, you need Jesus." Of course, Jesus was actually "HAY-ZEUS", a fucking gorgeous meta-human bartender at the Pub that all the SHIELD agents go to but no one talks about. Viv probably gave G her first hangover....I'm making this canon now, let's RP this. The mun is also a delight and puts up with my shenanigans

@basiciinstinct​ / @ikollektiv​ - ELI, my love <3. I've been writing with this amazingly talented creature off and on for YEARS in a variety of different places with different characters, and each time it's such a wonderful experience. I have the great fortune of knowing this mun IRL and he is just so so good. Great friend, will keep 5ever. plz come visit again, i miss your punem. 

@bcnquet​ - So I tend to follow people who's writing I admire. I LOVE writing with people who make me a better writer, and you really do. Your portrayal of Hannibal is so incredible, and deliberate, the reader can really tell that you've thought of every fine detail of him. So much of Hannibal is how he observes people, and his environment, and you give us a glimpse below the surface of a very introspective character. I'm also loving all the threads we've done so far, it's allowed me to explore another facet of G, a darker side of herself where she has to lay out her morality and come to terms with the fact that it's not all there any more. I'm enjoying the rabbit hole I've thrown her down and can't wait to see where it goes.

@ijustcantseemtomiss​ - ACTUAL BIRB SQUAD. Your Clint is fab. He's like the right type of sweet yet beautiful disaster that I expect of my favourite superhero (he really is my fave). He's kind with G when she needs it but treats her like an actual person and encourages her and I loveeeeee that about him. A+++ Clint Barton, yes good. I wanna see what else they can get into. @kneeltoyourking​ / @shieldarchitect​ - I think you were the first person who really gave Gemma a chance. Even if it was her fighting with Loki (and continuing to fight with him). I look forward to seeing how their interactions progress. You know, after they stop bickering :P 

@nigellecter​ - I shouldn't admit this but I super creeped on your character when I saw bcquet writing with you. What caught my eye was that you were another phenomenal writer with detailed characterization. We've just started rping together and I'm enjoying it immensely, reading your posts challenge me to write better and loooove that. 

@reclaimedasset​ / @wetheremnants​ - Mags, <3. I don't even know where to start with this amazing Mun. They are always so sweet and wonderful. Their Bucky is just GORGEOUSLY written. Another wonderful example of a well-thought out character-portrayal. I feel like the threads we've been writing have been so monumental to fleshing Gemma out and being able to understand the extent of how her mutations affect her interactions and environment. Mags, your threads helped me rekindle my love for this little birb, and I love that Bucky is so tender with her. G and Rocket should interact again, the universe's strange things need to stick together. 

@vtorichnyysoldat​ - The Tank to my Healer. God, I love your character. You've made and OC that fits seemlessly into this verse. I love that you don't compromise on Leo's characterization to fit the narrative, he reacts in a way that is really honest to who he is. As the mun, I adore that you tolerate me screaming about these two idiots in IM constantly. I'd love to explore a plot where Leo opens up a little to G, I know he'd probably fight it tooth and nail and I don't expect anything less of him ;)

birbs of a feather 

(mutuals, we've rp'd or should)

@agxntmyers​ @altarbov​ @anxlgesic​ @araphorostiic​ @asecretagentleman​ @cameoutofabottle​ @diisarmed​ @earnedstripes​ @formidabli​ @gcddamntragedy​ @idagnir @ircnbound​ @iviaw​ @lorcanthropy​ @ramsoldier​ @shot18​ @stupidarrows​ @teethxbared​ @walkitcff​ @weaknessforgallantry​ @whcwashe​ @zzapzzaptasers​ So yes, THANK YOU! Thank you so much for following and RPing and what have you. I feel like this list isn't complete but I just can't brain any further for this post. I look forward to continuing to RP with y'all.
