Hi everyone; it’s been a little while, huh?

As you may have noticed, I’ve been a lot less active on here recently, and there’s a couple of reasons for that, but the long and the short of it, is that I’m not very sure of the future of this blog.

It’s been really discouraging to be on here recently, to be honest. I haven’t had a new follower who wasn’t a porn bot in weeks, I receive very little engagement on any of my writing outside of my already established friend group, and a lot of them have either taken a hiatus or left the platform entirely. It really doesn’t put you in a good head space to want to create when you feel like nobody actually cares about what you’re putting out.

I’m also just... losing interest in this fandom. I knew it would happen eventually when Techno passed, since he really was my favourite, I just didn’t think it would happen this soon. There’s no more lore to get excited over, seems like there’s a bit of a content drought in general, at least with the folks I follow. Wilbur is rarely streaming, and when he is I’m at work, and I just can’t be bothered to VOD watch.

I’m not sure if I’m going to stick around in a more general blog sense, or if I’ll just leave everything up as an archive. Maybe if I fall into another fandom, I’ll pivot to blog about that instead, but I’ve been in several fandoms since I started engaging with online spaces, and only three of them have ever inspired me enough to write, so I doubt that’ll happen.

I’ll update you all if and when I make any decisions. I have plans to finish polishing up the last chapter of First Loves and Second Chances (though I might scrap the epilogue, I’m having trouble conceptualizing how I want it to go), and there’s a couple of requests currently in my inbox that I’d like to put out if I can swing it, but I have no further plans to continue writing on this blog in the future.

Thank you to everyone for supporting me over the past year or so. My DMs are open, if anyone wants to reach out for my Discord handle, an easier and more reliable way to stay in touch! <3<3<3

Okay, I'm done speeding Techno propaganda now, good bye for like, another week

[grey-rambles]

reasons to vote for technoblade:

fans designed an alter ego called 'technochan'

that laugh he did during the fight with quackity. if that's not peak sexyman i don't know what is

he didn't have to deal with half of fandom villainizing him for nothing, c'mon

scar's skins often have him shirtless with abs. techno's skin has him as a cross-eyed pig and fans still turned him into an anime twink and buff strong man in equal measure

he's an anarchist and anarchism is sexy ;)

Reminder: this is a goofyfun, non-serious poll. If you are genuinely upset at any point, step back. If you are genuinely salty, step back. If you are attacking anyone’s character, we don’t want you here. Yes, even if they’re redditors or twitter users - we’re all the same fandom at the end of the day, people. Go take a drink and a snack and a time-out and come back in ten, yeah?

(And if you are one of those mythical off-site users, welcome! Please, while you’re here, check the propaganda for all the other guys, not just your vote! This is like r/place - there's a lot going on elsewhere on the canvas, so take a look! We hope you stick around!)

For everyone, just remember: the real joy of this event has absolutely nothing to do with who wins. It's all about the narrative we create, the community we're in, and the creativity that we make from it. Just make sure to always keep that in mind!

Awww, this was so sweet!

Love the idea of having him run a bath for them, and having someone play the guitar for me is truly a dream so I loved that.

Well, I was writing this with someone in mind who is no longer active for an event that is no longer happening. What can you do. I'd still like to share it, because I got the go ahead, and I had a wonderful time writing. I hope anyone who reads this enjoys, and please feel free to send any requests if you're interested and wanna see more of anything in the future. Oh, also it's technically x reader, but pet names are used in place of y/n. I also gave the the reader as little description as possible so anyone can picture themselves if they wish. Also gender neutral. Happy Valentine's Day.

Your Golden Hour

No warnings

710 words

It had been ten minutes since they sent me a text saying they would be here in about fifteen. I was already planning something special before either of us knew about the additional hours added to their schedule last minute.

Satisfied with the temperature, the tub was now filled to just above the halfway point, bubbles taking up the remaining space. A few candles of their favorite scent were lit and sitting around the edge of the sink, creating a soft and pleasant hue in the smaller bathroom.

Picking up the small bouquet of pink roses, I waited nearby the door of our apartment, listening as the key was inserted and clicked from the other side.

"Wil, I'm so sorry, I wanted to spend the day with you so bad, but then everything just---"

"Hello my angel, happy Valentine's Day."

Everything was quiet for a few seconds as they took everything in.

"I hope you don't mind the---"

And they were standing on tip toes, arms around my neck, kissing me softly but passionately.

"Well that was a nice surprise."

"You're surprised? What's all this then?"

"Only what you deserve, my love." I replied, holding out the flowers, which they took carefully and held in front of their face, smile spanning a length competing with canyons and reaching either ear from behind the clear plastic and blooms.

"Something smells lovely."

"Perhaps it's coming from there?" I pointed to the bathroom around the walls' corner.

They eyed me a tad suspicious before following my line of sight.

"I can not believe you!" Their voice went up half an octave in faux disbelief from where they stood in the doorway.

"Take all the time you would like for yourself to get rid of any stress or worries you may have from the day, bub, I'll have dinner out when you're ready."

Right around the half hour mark, I heard the plug be pulled to drain the bath water, and I began to prep our dinner, one of their favorite pasta dishes, to be plated.

"I haven't felt that relaxed in a while." They were in much comfier clothes now, but still holding a towel to dry the roots of their hair with, I leaned down slightly for them to reach easier and gave them a soft peck on the lips, before motioning to the stove where our dinner waited.

"It's not much, but I know you love it, and I like it too, I just wanted to do it because it's nice, and you deserve everything always and---"

Stopping my rambling, they grabbed my hands like two pieces of art, rubbing padded thumbs across knuckles in a form of appreciation without using words, and led us to the table.

Our bellies full and tastebuds satisfied, the dishes were quickly washed and I put them away. I moved from the kitchen to my guitar in its case in our bedroom before returning to the sofa where they sat against one end sideways. I motioned for them to sit near me and pet my lap, inviting them to lay across, which they did so eagerly as I made sure the instrument was tuned.

The familiar notes began to dance in the air as they settled a bit further into my lap.

"With the love of my life, they've got glitter for skin, my radiant beam in the night, I don't need no light to see you shine."

The way their skin practically glowed with the hues of near dusk coming through the blinds, a sort of halo atop their head, coincidentally magical as I held the last note.

I could feel them somehow relax further and their breathing evened out as the day and the song came to a close. After setting my guitar in front of the sofa, using the armrest and side table to balance it for the time being, I placed one hand on their face to cradle it, the other on the crown of their head to gently play with their hair. I bent ever so slightly forward and with one final soft kiss, I knew they were asleep, the pink roses sitting in a vase on the coffee table in front of us.

"Happy Valentine's Day, darling, sweet dreams."
