NOTE: Because of an absolute horde of bots descending on me, I now block all blogs that have a picture for an icon but no content or have a bio that reads like a "Singles in YOUR area want to meet you!" ad. I'm very happy to meet newcomers to Tumblr but it's really important that you give your blog some bare customization at the start or you'll look like a bot to those of us deep in the Bot War Trenchesโข ๐๐ Anyway, back to the previously scheduled bio, already in progress... Aislynn, she/her, ageless (sounds better than old enough to be your mom ๐), dedicated fangirl and action figure/doll enthusiast. The Reverse Flash (both of them ๐ ) is my fandom boyfriend. I โฅ Master Chief so much I can't even. I have lost my ability to can.๐ Kai-125 is my precious bb. ๐ I am deeply in a relationship with pretty much the entire Mass Effect Andromeda Heleus Cluster. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ Simon "Ghost" Riley is *chef's kiss* ๐๐ฅฐ Barbie spotlight posts appear at random. My main fandoms at the moment are Halo, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Call of Duty, Moon Knight, The Flash, Star Wars/The Mandalorian/The Book of Boba Fett, Shadow and Bone, Stargirl, Star Trek, Split/Glass, Kingsglaive/Final Fantasy, Jurassic Park/World, Prometheus/Alien: Covenant, Avengers/MCU, Justice League/Batman v Superman/DCEU, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Teen Wolf, and so many more (I tend to acquire fandoms at an alarming rate, lol ๐ ). โฅโฅโฅ My various fanworks are tagged aislynn's vids, aislynn's fics and aislynn's graphics โฅโฅโฅ My GIFs are free to good homes. ๐ Credit is totally appreciated just because it makes my day to know somebody liked what I made. Reblogs make you a rockstar! ๐ GIFs with the gifs.com watermark are mine as well, just older and more potato, lol. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ โฅโฅโฅ
Whew, I made it! Yeah, should I feel a little ehhhhh? about the fact I'm calling writing 6k words in a NaNo month a win? I suppose. But for part of it, I still didn't have my Word back so was writing very awkwardly in a Tumblr draft. ๐คทโโ๏ธ I feel so much more back at home in Word 2003, my beloved, lol!
And also!
Not done with editing but hopefully should be ready to go by next week!
So at least I did accomplish something! Unfortunately, though, most of those 6k words went to "just for myself" projects that nobody else will ever read. I enjoyed writing them, though, so again, a bit of a win, I suppose. ๐๐
If you did Camp NaNoWriMo, I hope you had a great time and wrote something you enjoyed, no matter how many or how few words you ended up writing! ๐ค๐
Halo Little People ($24.99, available for pre-order at Bigbadtoystore for June 2024)
Okay, I would totally, unironically buy these and love them and take pictures of my Halo Spartan action figures holding these like they're plushies or something if they were cheaper. $25 might be accurate for a 4 pack of Little People figures, I don't know, I'm not familiar with them, but it gave me sticker shock when I saw the price just now, that's for sure!
Still... I think they're very cute and I still would definitely pose them with my action figures and such, lol! For like... $10? $15 for the set of 4? I don't know.
UPDATE: Just did a bit of research and found that, yeah, apparently 4 Little People figures in a set go for about $25, though there's a set of 6 Lord of the Rings Little People you can get at Amazon for about that right now...
So, it's not a jacked-up price just for Halo or anything. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
The one thing I regret the most is that I can't support everybody as much as I wish I could. I want to comment on everything my mutuals say because whatever they posted is important to them, so it's important to me, too! I want to comment on and reblog every fic they write, everything they draw, every GIFset they make, every headcanon post, every theory they put forth. I just want them to know how much I value them and their opinions and the things they create and I just inevitably miss so much and it makes me sad.
This is awesome in so many ways! Thanks to both @empresskadia for the initial thought and @ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask for the lovely fic! *sighs forever in wistful fangirl*๐๐๐
(And also Reader fic is merely a fic written in second person or can also find a home, in my opinion, in third but from another character's -- aka John in this case -- p.o.v. I was intimidated by it for a long while before I took a few tries at it and there's something very interesting to me about tackling a character in that way, trying to keep it open to interpretation while also still making it hopefully interesting and engaging! ๐)
I-
John-117 very tenderly kissing his partner's bare shoulder.
Ooo, thanks for the vid embed, @thefinaljediknight (and @mrtobenamedlater)! It forever makes me sad that Halo 5 isn't available for the PC but at least this makes it easy for me to see its story in context with the rest! ๐๐
Also, shipping John and Cortana was inevitable for me but, like you said, I'm also fine if they're just considered eternally platonic. They can still love each other and have a very deep, meaningful relationship even if you never cast it as a "romance," in my ever-humble opinion. ๐โญ
Let me kiss Libertus from Kingsglaive. He might have some red flag moments but my mother is blind to red flags and I shall accept my responsibility of being the child that inherits that colorblindness from her.
I feel like I'm missing the deeper reference but, you know what, Anon? I don't even care, lol! He has made mistakes but we still love and support Libertus Ostium in this house. *nodnods firmly*
Thanks for the message, Anon, it made my day! Because, you know, a day spent looking at Kingsglaive GIFs is a day well spent! ๐๐๐๐๐
No, seriously, that was literally me reading the tags, lol! This remains one of my most fav vids ever to have made, what can I say? (Other than how is it almost 10 years old????? ๐ฎ) Thank you so much! ๐๐๐
If you missed the show Dark Matter from Syfy years ago, all you need to know for this vid is that, at the start, they woke up on a ship with no memory of their names, pasts, etc., so called themselves by the order in which they woke. So the characters of this vid are literally One, Two and Three and they were in a love triangle and yes, that really IS Four on the floor, lol! ๐๐
Day 2
youtube
Yeahhhh, I used my own vid for this one. *blush* ;) But โ3โณ by Britney Spears is definitely the first song that came to mind and I had SO much fun making a vid for One, Two and Three from Dark Matter to it! :D
if youโre offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that iโm just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i donโt need you to respond withย โhey, sorry, i wasnโt at the computer!โ or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
