errrm idk if you've already been asked this but do u have any tips on starting commissions bc I've been wanting to set up my own but I'm like super new to the biz... or whatever ok bye

no worriesss i think i answered a similar question a while ago but im not sure so i'll do my best to answer again lol

this got super fucking long so it's going under a cut

commissions are a lotta work and not just in terms of the actual drawing! it also involves a lot of marketing and getting yourself out there and learning to have good customer service. if nobody knows youre taking commissions then you wont get any! plus, if ppl dont have a good time interacting with you during the commission process, then they wont wanna come back and they wont recommend u to their friends. so its important to be patient and amicable and easy to work with when you can and also make it to where u and others can spread the word about ur work!

unfortunately part of getting a decent amount of commission work depends on how much reach you have and what the demand for your work is like, as well as how much work and experience u have to back urself up with (so like, someone with a lot of examples and ppl to vouch for them is much more likely to get comms than someone who doesnt have much going on in those areas). this also plays into pricing which also sucks but its the reality of the situation. if your demand is low and you dont get a lot of orders at all, then you cant expect people to pay a lot for your work even if its worth it. im only able to charge as much as i do bc ive been doing it for so long that i have ppl to vouch for me, a ton of examples to show, and enough of a demand that ppl will still pay that much to get something from me! which is good bc its my only source of income lol

so i guess if u wanna start taking comms u have to do a buncha stuff, i'll try to summarize what i can think of in a list:

set up an easy way for people to see your prices and contact you! i personally use a carrd for my prices and allow dm's or emails, but i also have a ko-fi with commission slots available for ppl who are too nervous to message me directly

figure out how u wanna receive payment! afaik paypal is the most popular way and i prefer this bc i like to send invoices, but i also use cashapp and ko-fi to accept payments

figure out what you want to offer! its good to have a few options imo but u dont wanna overdo it bc then ppl get decision paralysis from getting overwhelmed at how much there is to choose from lol. do stuff that you enjoy doing too bc if u offer smth u dont have fun doing then its gonna be super hard and grueling to work on those orders

figure out your pricing! a good way to do this that ive found is to set a price to start out with and use it to test the waters. if you dont get a lot of bites then u probably need to lower the prices from there, but if u get too many then u should be able to increase the prices! once again tho ur prices will depend on the demand for your work as well as how many ppl see that ur available and how much evidence u have to back ur work up with (so like, examples of it as well as ppl who can vouch for u)

learn to have good customer service!! this is rly important for me. i try rly hard to be approachable and easy to work with because that encourages a good relationship with my commissioners so theyre more inclined to come back and also recommend me to their friends ^^ plus it just makes sense that u should be nice to ur commissioners lol. idk

^ irt this also, while u should try and be patient and kind to ur commissioners, please also know when to set boundaries! have a rules/terms of service available that lets people know stuff like what the commission process looks like, possible turnaround time, how to send payment and place orders, how you go about cancelled commissions and refunds, and stuff you will or won't do for a commission. anything you can think of to establish boundaries and guidelines for working with you

be honest and communicate with your commissioners!!!! transparency is very appreciated when getting a commission from somebody; if something comes up and u cant work on the commission or it's taking a while for some reason, let them know! ppl dont like being kept in the dark. plus, ive found that 99% of commissioners are more patient than youd expect and dont mind waiting for their commission as long as theres clear communication and updates!

pleaseeee send wips and ask for clarification on anything youre even a little unsure about. u dont want to go through an entire comm and finish it after a buncha work and have the commissioner not be happy with the outcome. that leaves a sour taste in the commissioner's mouth and also means u wasted a bunch of time and energy that could have been prevented if you just checked in and made sure they liked what you were doing along the way!

taking slots is a great way to make sure u dont overwork urself and take on too many orders! i personally use a trello to keep track of my orders but i know other ppl use like..spreadsheets n stuff too? so whatever works for u. just make sure u keep the information (order details + contact info) somewhere u can find

uhhh idk if i can think of anything else rn. but i hope this is even remotely helpful ^^ its just my own experiences and u gotta remember that your experience wont be the same as mine so be kind to urself and figure things out in a way that works for u! o7

May I request some pain, Raph flavored

Pretty pleaseeeee

i hope i dont sound angry writing this, but please dont send/ask me stuff like this! i've gotten a lot of similar asks like this and this is scary for me but i need to set a boundary!

.

i dont like making "angst" or sad things, i dont make non-happy content for the sake of inflicting pain, and i dont like people assuming/thinking i do! i make it for meaningful emotional impact, i dont want people to tell me how much they like that i "put raph through pain" or assume im appealing to people who like doing that .. it makes me very sad!

i dont make "angst" to purely hurt characters, im making fanart of a character with emotional depth, and to explore the character's reaction to serious matters, and to let people know that theyre not alone, and that struggling can look like many things

some of the most motivating things ive been told by people who like my comics is that it's helped them (and their therapist sometimes!) figure out what was up with them, because i write a lot of things such as ptsd and anxiety and general mental pain to look different than the media portrays. because there really is alot of forms mental issues can take, and not all of them get portrayed, which leaves real people wondering "whats wrong with me" when its right there, just different form!

i think the closest i'll get to making it "just because" is vent art, but that too has meaning. and i will specify when its vent art for that very reason. to say "this isnt necessarily me exploring anything, or canonical, its to make myself feel less alone, and hopefully, the people seeing this as well"

and thats why i make the content i do, its not because i enjoy putting characters i like through bad things,,, in fact, i often hesitate/regret posting because i feel bad about the things i create for the sake of this. but i try to look past it because it can genuinely help a lot of people, and it does help myself too.

i think that assuming i make emotional stuff just for the sake of pain takes away from that.. i try very hard to not over-do sad stuff and i often cut down on it because i dont want to overwhelm people with it, and to prove that i only do the necessities for the sake of healing from the things i put emphasis on

any of the pain i "put them through" is my take on what they've canonically been through, and exploring their reaction and way to deal with the aftermath of that. nothing more,,, nothing less.

ugly things are still worth talking about, especially for the sake of healing growth

this got alot i hope i made sense uhh yeah!! yeah.,, apolocheese!!

TL;DR: i personally make pain for the necessity of healing, not because i think its fun

and now back to our regularly scheduled program

[erinwantstowrite]

hey how does it feel to have such a popular fic that gets hundreds of thousands of hits and people making fanart and sending asks and stuff? is it scary to know so many people are looking at your work? do you ever feel like you need to hold yourself to a certain standard so you dont disappoint people? or feel burnt out? (sorry if this is a weird ask, i love your work and was just wondering <3)

actually, it kind of is scary!

i'm not a stranger to a popular fic (...wattpad days are behind me) but now that i'm older i feel different about it? i guess? like as a kid, i didn't fully understand what it meant to have a lot of people looking at my stuff. but now i'm an adult and i'm like "oh!" it's scary but in a fun way?

i never expected for LoF or Home to get so popular, i've always just wrote for fun and practice. (i have a couple of original works that i've been working on as well, and fanfic is a great way to get creative juices flowing, etc.) seeing how far it's come in such a short amount of time is incredible, and i hope i can continue to inspire people like this with my other works. one day, maybe people will read my original works and feel the same they do about LoF :)

seeing all of the amazing artwork, tiktoks, and clothing!!! that people made!! of my designs!! (with permission lol) is so so so awesome. everyone is so talented, and i'm really grateful for it. it makes my day to see something that i wrote or drew has an impact on people enough to inspire them. when i first started writing, i was on the other side of that. now being the one who gets sent the asks and gets comments and love and stuff, it's so much fun!

i think it gets overwhelming only because i'm constantly aware that i'm just a person, at the end of the day. and that the bigger i get, the more responsibility that comes with it. my platform might be relatively small, but it's important that i use it in a good way.

it's why i don't make promises unless i know i can keep them. i don't keep an update schedule so i don't put pressure on myself, and i don't lose momentum or motivation. inspiration comes in waves, and i am at the mercy of that. keeping up with myself is the best way to ensure i can still create and have fun with it. the last thing i want is to disappoint anyone by making a promise and then having to take it back.

Would we ever tackle the present part of Forgotten Future AU? Like what's going on with Kieran's present teamates from both parts? What is going on with Carmine? And who is the most worried for Florian? NGL I feel like more AUs should do this.

Oooo good question, I hadn't given it too much thought yet...

So for Kieran's team, I think Carmine would be way too overwhelmed to take on the care of all of his Pokemon so uses Blueberry's box system to take care of most of them, but keeps Furret and Hydrapple on hand cause they're the ones he usually he kept out of their Pokeballs the most. She also keeps a hold of Florian's Ogrepon since it would be more at home in Kitakami.

Most of Florian's other Pokemon would either be boxed or kept with Nemona, with the exception of Miraidon, who would stay with Arven who would act like it's an inconvenience but he was really the most well equipped to take care of it and also it reminds him of Florian so he really doesn't mind as much as he puts on.

100% it took more than 24 hours for Carmine to realize something was up, since Kieran has a history of sneaking out and faffing around I reckon that would still be a common occurrence even with Florian added to the mix. Eventually though I think she'd notice or find their Pokeballs and then realize something was up.

I think she'd probably start searching around Kitakami first since, most people's minds dont jump straight to time or space travel lol, but eventually she'd end up contacting the zero crew.

Im not surrrre how or if they'd figure out they got time blasted, but if they did it'd probably be because of residual portal residue and maybe a machine or something... Maybe Terapagos...? Actually, no, definitely Terapagos, just got an idea for that involving the crystal pool lol

As for whose the most worried about Florian, I think the Zero Crew is all pretty worried, but Arven is definitely the most anxious. Just like, cat that needs an emotional support cat levels of a ball of anxiety. Carmine of course is more worried about her brother, but still worried about Florian. Penny would be the most level headed worried outwardly, and Nemona would be worried but not quiiite 100% understand the danger, more worried about Florian not having their Pokemon.

Florian's mom is probably the least worried, her son has been in life threatening situations one too many times and she's just sipping on a coffee with a thousand yard stare and a smile saying "he'll be fine" in complete earnest.

I think eventually Zero Crew would attempt to use the time machine, with Arven dragging his feet for completely reasonable reasons, but that would take a while, so either Carmine would hang back in Kitakami alone just in case something happened and they reappeared while waiting for a phone call to head over when it was near done, or Nemona would stay with her since she has the least know how on the time machine (she's smart enough in general that she would def still be helpful for working on it, but having two people in Kitakami may be better)

Time is weird so idk yet if Arceus would be the one to send them back or if they'd get rescued/joined/found by the others, but it would def be enough time for Florian to go through their whole self discovery arch I think.

When I end up writing my fic maybe I'll make a sister fic that goes through present time with its own chapters and stuff 🤔

I feel like having chapters spliced between the ones focused on Florian and Kieran might bog things down just a little but still having their side readable would be interesting I think

Thank you for the questions!! Got my brain train going lol

[ask-postcrash-curly]

(The dragon seems to be packing stuff in a huge backpack/harness, clothes, a fan, a powerbank....his ears flickers and he notices you)

Ah shi- didn't mean to show you this

(The dragon snaps their fingers and the harness disappears)

When you see this I'm probably gonna be on my way, or on France, heh, who knows, maybe i can see a great great great ancestor of some of the French doctors that treated you

(The dragon mutters "esos cabrones, bastardos de....")

Bueno...anyways...wait....

(The dragon turns their head and directs their attention to somebody, you can't see who)

Yes, im talking to him, he is...fine he's just...I know, i know....im still not sure what advice I can give him but sure

(The dragon turns back to you)

Sorry about that, just a fellow dragon, you've become quite the talk in my family...

Ok so

I have never lost a leg, or any limb in general, the only thing that can come close is my useless excuse for a left leg, it had a tumor, a rare one actually, its gone now, but it ate my bone and now it hurts like a bitch...do you know that feeling when your leg is sore because you had it flexed for a long time? Well, that, but stretching it doesn't help, at all

I had to undergo physical therapy, it helped, a little, it made it so i can actually extend my leg fully, but I can understand that feeling of "this is working to slow", but it does get better, i can swear it

I am...not sure about the new plan Curly, your health is more important than how soon you get home, they arent obligated to stay with you, but they are, because they care, how do you think they would feel if they find out you are postponing you health for their sake....just, promise me you will try again with the prosthetics on Earth, you need it and you deserve it

I am not exactly sure what triggered you, could be the pinching sensation, the overwhelming sensation of having a limb back....could be anything, my only advice to you on that its just...go to a therapist (or two, or three, becaus i dont think one would be enough, holy- ahem) and be patient, rome wasn't built in a day

Hmmm, i was honestly gonna say something about how lumi treated you...I know that series, it is one of my favorites, theres two series actually, the Youtube version, and the TV version...if im being honest, they showed you the worst episode they could have showed you, at least i apologized when i showed you The Owl House and every time i messed up i tried to correct myself, I kinda lost count of how many episodes of that series they showed you, im guessing five if they went in order, im just...

Im not gonna comapre them to Jimmy, but i can absolutely see why Robin compared them to him, thats all im gonna say...and i agree with Robin in that you should still say whats wrong, even if it upsets, even if it doesn't seem to do anything, you cannot stop people being upset cause you are hurt, and trying to would only upset them more because the more you stop them, they less they know how to help and nothing gets help, and sure. Some will ignore them, and it socks, it sucks like all hell...but some will stop, not all, but enough people to make a difference, let people help you, please

(The dragon yawns heavily, they check the clock, its 3 am)

God i hate trip planning, pain in the ass it is, I have to leave now, I'll be sure to send some photos of France, and Italy, if I dont die of heat exhaustion in the way, I heard horror stories of the heat in Rome...

Here, let me put you the songs, censored this time, these two are wild

First one, tw: Dismemberement, even if that is censored, and, at teh very first second an arrow pierces...someone, no spoilers as to what happens,

https://youtu.be/jSUUftouuxg?si=-HfxmpO5HflkWuXm

[Mooood, Okey so, at 2:36, it cuts and a simple gif of a fish bobbing up and down appears, i feel the need to clarify, cause its actually 3 am only cisuals, not sound]

And the next one, my favorite one, this is the eating one that I mentioned forever ago, I am gonna do the same thing as the other one and cut until the heavy part

Tw for, eating people, not good, there are bones around but not detailed, also blatant stupidity, and the fire on the torches, also I doubt that's a big concerns

https://youtu.be/aPxjbWbhyPc?si=3yhylf_uWXpseLLA

[OK mod, censor on 1:55 to 2:37, put a gif of a moray eel bobbing up and down lol, oh and if you could censor the screams too, ill appreciate it, just Scylla singing]

One little thing, do you know the 6 torches that Odysseus handed? 6 torches, 6 heads xdd it was on purpose, to be fair, if Odysseus hadn't done it, 12 people would have been eating, that's wthe myth, the myth also says, that...ok so basically, theres two creatures, Scylla and Charybdis, if you try to evade one, theres a very high chance that you run into the other, Scylla is 6, or 12, and Charybdis is either all live or all die...you'll figure out why that is

And finally, my favorite song of the forest children's song, Kid and Leveret: https://youtu.be/6IhNJBelajU?si=C9RWal2Hw4yl9vsY

Before I go, one last thing...

You aren't Tiresias (the prophet of epic), you can't exactly see the future

This was not your fault

...ok actually the last thing, remind me to share some stories, like...did I mention that my institute kinda sorta forced me to do something illegal?

Ok now bye

(The dragon Curls up again with a mischievous smile)

Whatcha doing?

Hah! Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. You might even meet my ancestors— from another universe, I mean. Apparently I have French ancestry.

Oh? Tell them I say hey.

Ate your bone. Fuck, that sounds unpleasant. Glad you made it. Even if your leg's a pain now. You could always cut it off, but in my experience, that doesn't help.

You know how it is, then... Promise? Thank you.

...I'll try once I'm home. Just... not here.

Will do, if I'm able. (Definitely can't afford that.) It depends on whether I can get on an insurance plan. I'd never be able to afford therapy on my own after all the costs of recovery. Not to mention the physical therapy. And the legs, I guess.

We don't need to... They at least cut it off for me, yeah?

...

Hey, wait— I promise I'm not just trying to change the subject, but you do realize it's three in the morning for you? Maybe we'd better talk about this when it's not so late. Go to bed!

Fine, fine, but after the songs, go to sleep, all right?

...Huh. This's intimidating. Ah, fire... He was reading lips? Damn. When they say, uh— Fuck, I know the sirens were trying to kill them, but this is dark— Huh? There's— what happened to the video? It's just a fish. What the fuck? ...Is this what you meant by censors??

Got it, got it. Video's got warnings too. For gore and, uh, "scary stuff."

Eerie, yeah? ...Wow. Bad time to reveal that. What the hell? She's an eel? Ah, and now I just see an eel. What's going on? Oh, hey, picture's back. And those dark spots, they're blood, yeah? Huh.

So... So, uh, he sacrificed those six people with the torches? And otherwise she would've taken twelve? How's that work?

The song's great. Not sure I get it, but I like it.

...

Thanks.

Wait, what—?

Hello??

Local Old Man Thinks Out Loud

this is no crazy revelation of course, but i think one of the issues i had contributing to my overall anxiety in the RPC is feeling like I can't respond to a bunch of my mutuals posts or send them a bunch of asks without feeling like im bothering or overwhelming them.

now this is in no way a new or even individual problem. lots of people think this way. and even now i still feel like that sometimes. i have to kinda fight my own ingraned habits and stuff to just reply or interact, and my moots are more than welcome to reply or dont. they aren't obligated to give me any attention.

but another issue i have is that i struggle to come up with things on the fly sometimes, even when i do want to send an ask or write an open or something. like, something in me either deems my idea stupid, doesnt know how to execute said idea, doesn't know if anyone would be into it, or just blanks out entirely.

i cant tell you how many times i've opened someone's inbox just to stare at it.

i want to send people things, want to continue to build ic relationships, and just have fun, but man does my brain work against be a lot.

then it feels like i miss out when other people get to someone first. idk its dumb man.

[sugar-omi]

Just went through your likes and a couple things:

1. Way less cove then I thought I’d find maybe I need to go deeper. 2. All the Sebastian shit is 👩🏽‍🍳😘🤌🏽. 3. I’m so glad I’m supporting an 🍊 hater. After all the shit he’s done my anxiety skyrockets and I come to your page to try and help calm myself down with your fics. You don’t know how much you’re righting helps even if it’s just for a little while. Thank you so much for your page and all of your positive and out of pocket horny posts 💕💕💕

Sorry that got serious there

yeahhh, i can see the relief!!!! i try not to reblog too many political posts n that kinda thing because i know 1. people come online to escape that thing, but also 2. i will literally just reblog all that kind of stuff. tbh i'll reblog a bunch of things regardless of content PERIOD bc im a lurker at heart okay, n im also kinda used to spamming my thoughts in that way from my decade on twitter lmao

so it would be overwhelming if i didnt limit myself😂 but also i want people to know my opinions for both their comfort and also for mine so that way those with opposing opinions can get tf outta here🫶🤣

so relatable though, and im sending you n everyone else who is also experiencing all this anxiety much strength🫶 these are very scary times that, although i've been expecting it ever since his first term, does not lessen any of my anxiety this time lol. so crazy though seeing my own family admit that he was a bad choice to put in😂 my mom denies she ever said she wanted him in!!!!! (she doesnt vote, but that doesnt stop her from expressing her opinions lol) i wonder if my grandparents n dad will still be jumping for joy by the end of his term? mmm🙃

anyway. thats a whole rant i will not go on LMAO- but i'll finish this ramble with saying that while i am a little bit sensitive to what i reblog as well because i know some sites are picky about expressing your opinions (lets just say twitter (users) hated me a bit LMAOOOO) im also not really on here a lot unless im posting, responding to asks, or checking my dms so im not the first to share these things n i know my posts are infrequent so i dont want to drown what, like you and some others have expressed, is an escape or enjoyment to them.

but. this is a safe space. n like i said i do try to express these things more than i worry about anything else. that's most important to me. i want to make sure my stances are out there for my sake, as much as yours, because this is also my safe space n my little escape. this blog is a small piece of me, and it reflects that as much as reasonably possible.

ANYWAY. BACK TO THE LESS SERIOUS STUFF LOL

yeahhh tbh i'll be honest i dont interact with the olba fandom too much!!! i havent been in fandom in recent years, but i try to like any posts i see. which tbh isn't much because my tl is mostly sims LMAOOO thats what i used this blog for at first (as well as haikyuu when i was into it heavily, hence sugar-omi, because sakusa is my favorite n we share that nickname <333333 (yes i made my friends call me omi bc of him. idc. its CUTE!!!!! but they all call me nae so😂😂 its fine bc that's my most treasured nickname<3))

n you know sebastian is my pookie for life <333333 i love him, i've loved him before i even started playing stardew LMAOOO

i hope yall are enjoying stalking my likes. theyre such a whiplash because its a mix of sims, aesthetic things, stardew, olba, politics, some poetry/relatable to me things, memes, smut, smut, smut, and an array of games/vns i follow n animes im into😂😂

sometimes i just use my likes to save sims posts that i wanna download later when im on my computer or when they release publicly lol so, i dont imagine my likes will be that interesting since ive been most active in liking and reblogging things these last 2-3 days than anything😂🫶

anyway, im glad my writing brings a bit of relief and my degenerate posts hopefully bring u some joy and laughter😂, please take care of yourself anon🫶🫶

[rheiple]

Hi po I'm back again 🤸‍♀️ A lot has happened for the past few days and I'm kind of in the middle of healing my finger because I got into an accident but so far everything's ok 🤟

I'm gonna start writing now but I dont know where to start I have alot of ideas and it's kind of overwhelming me, also I want to get the checklist of my Fic ideas done before school starts

There are still fnaf related, but I thought of writing for welcome home since I think I got the grasp of being able to write them in character,

And I've also been thinking of rewriting my au series like royal and fantasy au, those aus are too good to get discontinued,,

Blehh I shouldn't focus on those rn,, I'm gonna do the check list thing first

I have other Fic ideas that I want to do,,, liek this au where the fire ending happens and Reader ssved all of them,, but when they fell asleep they woke up to all the Animatronics turning into human,, I like this funny au but I dont know about what yall would think

Anyways, I'm still gonna do all of them, but just in order, the one with the most votes with be the Fic that I'll be doing first, and then I'll do the rest depending on how many votes they have.

Thank u guys so much for the likes, weblogs and follows, I really appreciate it and you guys are the reason why I like to share my cringy ideas to all of you, I'm really glad that the people with the same interests as me have found my content and showed appreciation by liking, reblogged, following and reading my stuff, yall mean so much to me and I wouldn't be able to get motivation without y'all 💝❤💝💝

Edit : I just noticed that the timer of ye poll is only one day 😭 but yall can still send your votes through the comment section or through the ask, once again thank u all

RAMBLE ABOUT VOID

I HAVE. SO MUCH TO SAY JELLY. SO MUCH.

First of all. Been thinking abt their relationship wt gender. Like, they're nonbinary. To them, they're just a shadow-- shadows can't have genders, right? They don't care if people call them a girl or a boy, not at first, but they are neither.

But then I think. As they get older, it starts to bother them more, being talked abt as a boy. Bc MK is a boy, and MK chose to be a boy, and they want to be more than just a clone of MK. They take a hard turn into femininity, wearing dresses and makeup and such, but that doesn't feel right either. They probably have identity crisis numer 1098274838538. They take a while to settle on just being Them. It also takes a while for them to feel comfortable wearing more masc clothing again.

And that's just the gender stuff. They still have SO MANY other issues. They're literally a baby with the level of conscious thought of a elementary schooler. I imagine everything is just like. Completely overwhelming for those first 6 months of existence, where they're alone and don't understand language yet and dont understand things like sleep or pain, especially when theyre constantly hit with random pains that aren't even their own (MK's pain)

Like, they're sticking to the shadows, hiding from the light because the light hurts their eyes, hiding from the noise because there's so much where before they existed there was nothing, and sometimes they randomly feel pain, but every bit of pain they feel is excruciating because they have no basis for it. A scrape is enough to send them into sobs because it's literally one of the worst pains they've felt.

And when They FINALLY understand language, which takes a few months at least, they don't know how to speak up for themself, so they just... don't. They stay silent. A lot of people find them unsettling, but it's just that they don't understand how to behave like a person. They aren't even a year old and they have to have conversations and adhere to the norm of society. They just. Don't know how.

They don't know what they are, in any sense. Every bit of them is at first based on MK, their fashion, their voice, their fighting style. Then it's based on being as far from MK as possible. And when They realize that doesn't make them happy, they just... don't have anything left to go off of.

All of this. And they aren't even 1 yet.

Anyways sorry for rambling so much, most of this is probably incoherent but. Augh. I need to write a fic.

[thatdeadaquarius]

after scrolling through your posts i felt complelled to send an ask (i wonder why)

This kinda? relates to all the languages posts you've been making (was giggling and kicking my feet while reading them, and got inspired) but because I only speak English, I wanted to put a twist on it.

Creator who has audio processing issues and doesn't realise that Teyvat DOES actually speak the same language as them for a good while.

Because as a person with very good hearing, i sure don't fucking understand what people are saying most of the time, especially in big crowds. (its like listening to the sims sometimes man, i'm fighting for my life trying to understand😭)

So imagine a Creator getting dropped into Teyvat and getting found by a group of hunters or treasure horders, who instantly start panicking and talking all at once because 'omg our god is here' and all that.

And the Creator is still confused and diorientated, so all they're hearing is ✨words✨and they just assume that no one in Teyvat will understand them.

And then when they arrive in one of the nations and get to meet the vision bearers for the first time, the Creator makes a thirsty comment about one of them (probably would be Diluc in my case) and the entire crowd just goes SILENT.

So silent that the Creator can perfectlly understand what that vision bearer said in response.

Anyway, i love your blog :) not sure when you're going to get this, time zones are funny, but I hope you like it

Giggling and kicking?? Over my stuff??? 🥺🥺🥺💘💘💘 You sneaky little charmer ✨️

ALSO

AUDIO PROCESSING DISORDER ASK!!!!?????!!!!

:D

IM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO GET ADHD DIAGNOSIS AND GOT AN APD TEST NOT TOO LONG AGO BC THOUGHT I HAD IT!!

FRIENDO!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! ✨️✨️✨️🌸🌸🌸

Have a cookie!! 🤲🍪 tysm for the ask im very very happy to see it!! :D!!

(subliminalmessagingyouwillgoclicktheaskbuttonandsendmeanasksubliminalmessaging)

AHFJDLLAHFAAJSK!! LOSING IT OVER THIS!!

(Me from the future editing: Sorry i wrote an entire sloppy written scenario over this its diluc focused, jfc sorry and i hope u get smth outta it 💀)

Oh good lord you being some kind of Creator god after getting sucked into the goddmn video game world is absolute HELL for your APD

Aint nobody tellin u nothing bc i can totally see that scenario happening bc everyone is like blabbering at you constantly, they all wanna get close to you to talk so its just [insert that general cafe crowd noises here]

Like u wish u had lofi to go with it bc u sure as hell cant get a word in edgewise

I know i keep writing abt Mondstadt, mostly bc first city -> intro to game -> therefore you land there

But i promise ill branch out guys but i got an excuse this time u mentioned Diluc 🔥

Honestly bc u probably arent trying to talk back to them (which they dont rlly know why? Bc they totally have heard ur voice while u were in ur world, when they were ur vessels)

They kinda assumed either A. You lost your voice B. You're overwhelmed, ppl r getting WAY too close to you, back off Npcs C. Or you don't speak THEIR language

So ofc Mondstadt brings you into the city and their planning a big ol festival, u came right in time for Windblume anyway, and by the time your done shaking hands and just waving and smiling (bc what else can u do u cant hear these fuckers, maybe u caught a "the" or a "hello" but you could've definitely been imagining it)

And finally you are free of the general crowd, but most of the Vision bearers (Allogenes) who were ur vessels wanna stick around, so u all end up in Angel's Share somehow

It's hella packed, and it's a bar.

So yeah u still can't hear shit, and now it just sounds like one of those fantasy medieval bar audios ambience videos

Ur just kinda kicking ur feetsies on a bar stool while like,, 4 or 5 differrent special character dishes are sitting in front of you

Diluc's behind the bar, and has been so sweetly attentive to you all evening, no matter how many tipsy patrons come up yelling for refills or drinks (or at least thats what u assume, bc u kinda end up just,, jumping and hitching ur shoulders up and trying to be lowkey about covering ur ears...)

He always comes and refills ur glass when it gets to even half-full, swiping away plates that have gone cold, and if you still want smth off of it, he's so perceptive no language needed bc he just sees your face and starts heating up the plate again with his vision with his hand :)

He's actually been the best thruout all this bc he already isn't super talkative, so ur pretty sure you've only seen his mouth open a few times, but otherwise u just communicated with him via actions/expressions

So ur chilling, well sorta, ur starting to kinda get overstimulated by the day and now this loud ass bar, and the fact that ur convinced no one speaks English here...

But hey!

Diluc's cool, u got food, and maybe u can charade to him u wanna find somewhere to retire to now for the night,,

You try and do that but he's pretty busy running around still,

"Damn, at least I get to see his ass though."

.

..

...

Diluc freezes.

You freeze.

Jean, Lisa, Venti, Amber, Kaeya, Rosaria freezes.

The whole bar goes silent.

Their god of gods finally spoke.

Oh they can understand you alright. (Also u were looking right at Diluc when you said it so, kinda obvious who u mean, somebody points to you behind Diluc)

Diluc just kinda,, sputters, like jerkily turns around and everything like a fried robot

"I- ahem- I- um- y-your Grace- I-"

Poor guy.

He doesn't even know what to say 🤷‍♂️

He has been progressively getting closer and closer to his hair color, his cheeks, his neck, his ears its a full white boy flush he cant escape its so obvious (should he say thank you? How do u even begin to thank a god for complimenting ur ass??!!)

He's caught between facing you and turning around and ducking back into the kitchen and never coming out again (unless it's just you two)

...Was it always this hot in here? Or did Diluc do this to you? 😵‍💫

(Well at least it's a lot quieter now)

You take the next logical step in this situation, and gently let your head thud into the bar.

...

It's a tie between Venti and Kaeya who busts out laughing first.

CHRIST ALMIGHTY IM SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG I HOPE TUMBLR MAKES IT "READ MORE" BC I CANT FIND THAT OPTION ON MOBILE

IF U KNOW WHERE THAT BUTTON IS PLS LET A BITCH KNO 😭😩

UPDATE I FIGURED IT OUT FUCK YEAH

Cheers,

hi! could i request something fluffy? maybe leon spoiling reader with some meal, or cuddles? thanks! ❤️

mentioning meals I AM THE REMINDER TO GO GET A SNACK AND REJUVENATE

and yes ofc i love writing fluffy fluffy hehehehe (im kind of uncreative rn so sorry). btw i'm writing this in the same format as the other one but if you want it to be more structured and narrative just uh tell me LOL

content : fluffy leon kennedy x gender neutral!reader (it's written in second person though). pet names lol

synopsis : leon wants to spoil you so he's feeding you and providing you with an army's ware of cuddles >:)

-food is fuel and leon is a fucking engine

-tbh i hc that leon has a big appetite for sweet stuff,,,, i'm sure a big collective of ppl agree bc he's so squishy squishy [what the fuck am i saying idk]

-anyway enough about me gushing on leon.

-YOU. when will you ever take the time to let him spoil you? are you trying to avoid him?:((

-leon is part kidding. he's not mad ofc but sometimes he can't help but get a tiny bit worried about you sometimes.

-see, leon is a firm believer that a person cannot come to their best senses unless their basic/psychological needs are fulfilled. that includes things like eating, or affection—because when your body senses that you're lacking in something, it will use your brain power to signal you that you need to eat or be smothered with affection! hence you can end up feeling burnt out if u dont pay attention to ur love vitals!! >:(

-leon's mindset will always be applied on you because you're his second heart, you're his tough rock and you need to be taken care of!!

-HE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING "affection? that's absurd people can still learn attentively and work efficiently without having to be coddled >:(" while yes in a sense its true—but sometimes you just don't realize that what you need is some time to be vulnerable and intimate, which can explain why your emotions feel a lot more heightened recently than usual (which he notices by the way). you've been tense for a while, and leon reasons that you can't just 'move on' from being overwhelmed with work stress and whatnot—you have to relieve it! but enough about theory.

-your hunger for food or affection is like a 7th sense to leon to be honest. while it's not an accurate intuition everytime, he's bound to think of you once every like two minutes.

-leon actually has very clear and high critical thinking skills. this means he is able to remember a lot of things about you even if he only notices them or you mention it once: this includes your comfort drink, where you like to be touched, hell maybe even the MBTI of your favorite character. and he ESPECIALLY knows what food you like. pad thai, sushi, oxtail, jerk chicken, cake, boba, YOU NAME IT HE KNOWS IF YOU LOVE IT OR NOT

-so when it actually came to asking you what you wanted, he'd send a text saying he's downtown and asking you 'what would you like, baby?'. he's careful with his words and doesn't say "do you want me to get you something on the way?" because it means he's giving you a choice >:( when the whole point is to spoil you because you deserve it.

-and if you answer with something vague like 'anything' HE DOESN'T MAKE YOU SPEAK FURTHER he'll just buy what he knows u like and keep the rest in the fridge if you dont wanna eat it :3 well that's what they're for, right?

"oh, my sweet.." his voice was quaint at the sight of you. leon tried his best to be silent when he entered the room, not wanting to sound like he was pitying you, but seeing you half-covered with comforters, mildly upset and your mind in a frazzle has his heart dropping a bit. you were probably thinking about so many things: meeting some deadlines, picking up this and that from the store, computing this... but you just couldn't organize your thoughts. but that's why leon was here.

your head moved to swivel his direction. "leon.." you smile at him weakly.

it was cold in the city tonight. leon places a hefty white plastic bag of your favorite on the nearby surface before he sits down in front of you from the edge of your bed. he takes the brief second of studying his lover's face before he pulls you into a comforting and warm hug. he can't help but pat the back of his sweet baby's head down, and you feel his lips barely nuzzle onto your ear as he mutters. "y're so good to me, baby. you know that?" leon reminds you before kissing the side of your head shortly. you tried to reciprocate it by giving him a nimble kiss on his cheek, which he gratefully accepts with an eager beam on his lips.

his hands slide down your arms in a soft stroke as he lets go of you gently. the rustling of the bed's layers being heard as leon moves a bit to reach for the hefty boxes of food, which he opens for you once he gives you take your utensil/s. leon's happy seeing you eat. it's a form of reassurance to him personally witnessing you getting the fill you deserve after a whole few days of being so busy and rushing everywhere. it's a calming sense to him as you both soak in comfortable silence while he watches you eat. he was caring less that it's 2 in the morning and caring more about the way the color on your face slowly vibrates back onto your features. you seem less tired, just by a tad percentage. it makes him smile to himself knowing he was able to take care of you. " 'm finished." you mumbled with a hum, feeling a little full and having to lie down. fullness makes you sleepy (and leon knows that!) so he has a subtle, cheeky little grin as he leans over and collects your legs with one arm, pulling you to make you lie on your back. he crawls over to lie down next to you, once again pulling you close to him while he wraps his arms around you— one patting and planted gently on your back while the other cradles your head close to his heart. just where you belong... "you tired, baby?" leon asked shortly and your little nod sufficed. his cheek gently rests against the side of the crown of your head. his touch is soft, it's sweet as he rubs and scratches down your back gently. he gently scruffles at your scalp with his other hand's fingertips, and the motions will send you to a hopefully revitalizing sleep ♡. he places a kiss on the top of your head, like a ribbon keeping its gift from falling apart :( he knows at this moment maybe you're thinking you don't deserve him. but that's so far from the truth.

Previous First

They walk towards the stairs

Ángel lights up a cigarette

"Sorry about the smoke, just needed a quick fix"

"Uh, it's fine..."

"Not to bring back past arguments, but Vivi is right, you know. Smoking is not good for you. It can kill you"

"Something has to"

"You're sending yourself to an early grave for no reason"

"Hah, I wish"

"What?"

"Nothing is just... you know... detective work stuff"

"... You can tell me"

"Well, it's just... you know..."

"There's so many great people in the world, loved people, smart people, capable people, who wake up like any other day, and they talk to me only to just go and ...die.

And I can't do anything but watch, you know?

I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, or, well, right, I guess

Always in the right place, in the right time

Why me?

There's people way better than me, people who deserve to live more than me

Good people. Loved people.

But it's me who stays. It's me who remembers

What can I do against that?

I couldn't even help anyone.

At this point, I think only cigarettes can kill me

Something has to kill me

I shouldn't have been given this many chances, I'm not worthy of them"

They stop walking

...

"Ah, that's not to say I want to get killed or anything! I'm just rambling and being silly, really, you should ignore that, sorry"

"... You don't have to be ashamed if you're suffering from survivors guilt. The union should have dedicated therapists for something like this"

"Ah, right, the union..."

"Or you can go to a private one, that's fine too.

Stressful times like this bring out a lot of emotions, I don't blame you for getting overwhelmed, especially when we aren't even supposed to be investigating right now.

And you can tell me anything too, we are colleagues, partners, we are here for each other. I'm happy you trust me!"

"I dont want to, um, haunt you with my thoughts like this, it's not fair to you"

"I can be a little haunted, I want you to be okay!

I want to be here for you"

"Then...

"Would you stay by my side?"

" For therapy?"

"No, well, yes, if you can, but

Tonight, tomorrow, and other tomorrows

I know it's a lot to ask, and I'm probably not in the best state of mind at the moment to be asking for things, but still

Can you promise me to just... stay alive? for tonight?

I don't want you gone"

"That's... a hard thing to ask. I have no control over whether I die or not, much less with a possible killer on the loose.

I need to be honest with him"

"I promise"

"... but I always get stupid around handsome men"

"Sorry, that was unfair of me. I shouldn't be asking you this, I'm sorry"

"You know what? I have an idea"

"After this is all over, we should get a vacation.

You're a city boy, aren't you? I bet you have never seen cows up close.

Take time off and stay in the region, I'll take you sightseeing! I know the best restaurants and the best views. Have you ever fed chickens? My grandma has so many chickens, it's like a feather tornado when you feed them!"

".... You just want to see me get swarmed by chickens, don't you?"

"Perhaps"

He laughs a little

"Yeah, I'd like that.

I want to go sightseeing with you"

"Stressful situations bring out a lot of feelings.

I haven't felt this one in a long time though.

Is it bad?

To start something new in a place like this?

To imagine a future with him, a work partner, co-owning cats, going to restaurants, sightseeing

Laughing together, crying together.

To have a future together, to be something

A pair, sold as set, do not separate.

Would that be too bad? That I want to take a step into this direction? Am I even ready for something like this?

I want it though

I want to live that life

I want to try"

"It's a date then"

"If, if you want to, i mean"

"I'd love to"

"I know this won't solve any of his problems, hell, I know this won't solve any of *my* problems

In fact, it could even make more problems!

Then why am I so happy?

Ah, I really get all stupid around pretty men, guess I'll have to get used to it"

"Can I have my hat back now?"

"Nope!"

"Dick"

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

i don't know what i should do but i distanced myself from some people (mentally too) bc I've been overwhelmed with trauma and getting tired of even speaking of it.. so I just say things are fine. I used to speak to one person whom we always shared thoughts with, understood me and what not, that was until their mental health got bad so I didn't really want to speak on my stuff to overwhelm ofc and offered support. we don't speak daily but we reply to each others messages whenever we can which became the norm.

the person did come across someone and got along with. they started dating within a few weeks and moved together. its been over a year they are and seems very happy. now, i already have some issues with people leaving or some kind of change occurring, which i noticed slowly, on top of that I can admit I feel toxic, in the sense of jealously. for context, ive never been in a relationship or anything. do I want to? Ofcourse. I think I deserve to be feeling loved. It never really bothered me until last year, its like my life was crumbling down and everyone was getting what they wanted, happiness, wishing I could as well.

ive never dealt with this emotion of jealously before, i just for some reason never cared and got on, but for some reason it hitting me more, maybe bc I'm slowly giving up on many things, even finding love.

this person has been someone who i would share my mind with (it was reciprocal) but ofc bc of things i couldn't anymore. I guess I couldn't share it with anyone so it felt bottled up, however I did share before of a friend who got in a relationship and doesn't even put effort in friendships.

anyways, once they got into one we still spoke. but I noticed a difference, they wasn't sharing much of themselves nor partner in the sense of i dont know much of a person he is, just a general overlook. idk I felt we used to speak on these things a lot when they was single so I felt weird how I dont know much of him as I thought. their replies began to get shorter, the time frame of replying back was a month later. we used to do that when times were hard for us, understanding and generally had long messages to send. but as I said, things were far short. So idk a month to send something little was a bit weird.

i also have this fear of friends sharing your personal information with their partners which make me super uncomfortable. I've had it happen before and its just a no. idk, I guess that stops me from sharing anything now bc maybe theyd do the same.

i guess I did notice a shift and whenever I do, I always distance myself. It is what it is. I feel incredibly alone and I feel like a negative person to be around with bc of these feelings I have inside. And I can see theyre happy and I dont want to make then feel uncomfortable with how I am feeling.

I sent a message at one point, addressing my mental health only. I wasn't fit to even speak, it was be unfair if I didn't respond at all so I said how things are quite rough so I won't speak for a while, it wasn't a goodbye but just I dont have the energy for things anymore. They respected how I felt and hoped things went well for me.

Its been 6 months and I haven't spoken to them. They posted on social media which I wished them happy birthdays and so, as they did for me. They say they pray for me things go good and I become happy. Which I appreciate. Normally I always wish them new years First, like every year but last year I did not. Partly bc I felt super depressed and also bc I dislike how I am always the one who says things first. After ages, they did wish me a happy new years message which was nice for once not being first too. However this year nothing so far, and I'm contemplating whether I should shoot a message right now.

It did make me feel a way when they kept mentioning, "so anything happening in ur love life?" Its like no, there never has. I guess I felt like things were being shoved in me so whenever I responded I would just be trutjful and say I dont see it happening and I'm okay with that. Which would say wait for ur time itll come. I understand when people say that but as a person who's been alone all my life that message doesn't help at all. It feels tiring to hear this constantly, I've waited for 25 years, I've waited enough, so please. I guess these little things made me feel bitter about them too, once I felt like it was shoved lowkey in my face I can't remember what exactly but like oh haha I dont have to worry about that now I have someone or something, which irked me. So yeah.

I have always appreciated having them in my life, our only form of contact is texting since we met online. We have been together some rough shit and have were there for each another too, also happy times too. But idk I guess I noticed a difference and it just made me step back.

I do feel sad bc I liked speaking with them, but I guess every since someone they came across they've just become private. And i guess I don't have much to speak about then. I'd rather not trauma dump bc I'm sick of my own shit too, but I just don't know what to do . I even thought maybe we should keep in contact here and there (not regularly as we used to) but I don't know what to do. I feel conflicted.

Okay I'm just gonna be completely honest with you, with the risk that it'll be a bit tough to hear. Because what I read is that YOU chose to distance yourself, YOU stopped sharing your life with this person, and then YOU said YOU didn't want to talk to them and didn't get back in touch. And now you're using the fact that the relationship didn't work out as proof that no one will ever actually care about you. And that's bullshit. And I get that there's trauma, and jealousy and insecurities and that you are not in this pattern on purpose, but what seems to be happening here is that YOU took a step back for whatever reasons, and then you used the fact that the relationship changed accordingly to you keeping your distance and asking for a break as proof that no one actually cares and no one ever will. And I have been there, and I have been in similar patterns. But it's bullshit. And it's toxic. Because this is not a story of a friend betraying you. This is a story of you sabotaging a friendship and then using the fact that it didn't last as proof of your insecurities. And that's something YOU need to work on if you want to feel better.

For the ask: IDW or G1 Soundwave please :)

Okey! A bit of a disclaimer. There is much of IDW1 I have yet to read… like every thing before the death of optimus prime, and I have watched G1 just once, so instead of picking one, I am doing both, but just answering for the ones I feel I really can give answers to!

favorite thing about them

G1: Funny enough… His rivalry with Blaster. Just Imagine this single dad having to listen to EVERY SINGLE decepticon Comm unit, take care of his kids, and the only thing that he has to blow steam (not counting killing autobots- plus other stuff I’ll explain later) is making this red DJ know he is better than him. I love a good petty king.

IDW: … Wow, I am, where to beging? I know I am missing all the early stuff, but… Gosh, It kills me how loyal he is to the decepticon goal… I just… There is something so soft in IDW Soundwave that I don’t know how to describe.… He is admirable, and so noble, while still being that piece of scrap I love to pieces, you get it? I can’t even-

least favorite thing about them

G1: … Dont know, pal. Classics does no wrong.

IDW: … Okey, So I wouldn’t say that I 'don't like' this next point, but rather that it deeply pains me in ways I am no sure I can explain… but it is the fact that he doesn’t like music… And I understand why and…. idk man… makes me sad.

favorite line

G1:… About EVERYTHING that dude says is music to my ears, so I can't choose... but honestly? those moments when he is talking with one of the cassettes and he sounds a bit anxious????? YES

IDW: Dont think I have one for him in IDW… yet…

brOTP

G1:… Blaster…. Okey… OKEY, I know I said I loved their rivalry… But HEAR ME OUT!!… What if they were friends?…. and that’s why I have my roomates au

IDW: … I really like to think he and Cosmos are amica endura….

OTP

Okey, so… Is the same person in every continuity, but for different reason, (Except TFA I don’t know how I would work out that ship in that show… yet…)

G1: … Is Jazz… Jazz/Soundwave.… While I see TFP Jazzwave as reluctant allies to enemies to lovers… G1 Is just lovers who pick oposite sides, are angry at eachother, but, hey, “we are still meeting in the fountain for cuddles at 3?” “Soundwave: will be there.” just…Soft cross faction lovers… who meet each other in private just to relax form a long day of work....

IDW: Also Jazzwave, but this is a more mischievous take I guess? this is the we are enemies but I really admire/hate how good you are at what you are doing. No prewar connection, just uncontrollable crossfaction admiration that cannon could only wish to live up to. Is Jazz being attracted to danger and Soundwave hating not having the answers. Is each of them being a puzzle the other can only dream of solving.… Oh, but if they just got the chance…

nOTP

Soundwave with either Starscream or Prowl... This applies to all continuities and almost all of my favorite characters.

random head canon

G1: Some times Soundwave hacks radio stations just to see how many people enjoy his music... He, Jazz and Blaster also have a special comm link that is ONLY for music, they send each other remixes all the time.

IDW: ... Look, the problem here is that I wouldn't know if it was cannon, most of what I know of IDW comes from fandom osmosis... but always though IDW Soundwave to be the type of bot to get easily overwhelmed, be it by emotional or external in put. Thats why he prefers dealing with communications and screens... It is easier to deal with.

unpopular opinion

G1: ...idk, im sorry 🥺

IDW: Look... I feel like people are always describing IDW Soundwave in particular as a brick wall in sense of emotions... and Like, I AM SORRY, but that dude cries under his mask all the time, am I really the only one that gets those vibes?? like yeah, he keeps his EM field close to his chest and all that, but behind that mask? he is listening to everything people say about him, and he is really volatile. If he takes that mask off productivity goes down 70% because he HAS to make sure his emotions are not visible, and it takes a lot out of him to do so.

song i associate with them

G1:

IDW:

favorite picture of them

G1: these ones

...buttons....

IDW:

HE ANGY.
