Gogai, gogai! The Rose-nik Utena bag (and pin) shipped finally, and thanks to purpleriot, I got a lovely scan of this BRAND NEW GAY AF POST-SERIES UTENA ANTHY in lovely 4k! You can get the full size uncompressed original in the Empty Movement Gallery, if Tumblr is being lame.

When will I have that mythical blend of clear mind, unallocated time and creative insight that allows me to finally create an exo oc?

We've had Eldritch Horror Jolene and "The singer is in love with Jolene" but I just saw this youtube comment suggesting Jolene is a personification of death and I'm absolutely floored by it.

Like holy shit. "Flaming locks of auburn hair" just being literally flames, "Emerald eyes" being an unearthly green glow. The "ivory skin" line referring to the paleness of bloodless skin or even bleached bone, and yet Jolene is still spoken of as having haunting, enticing beauty, like a sort of angelic figure. The husband "talking about her in his sleep" meaning he's delirious with fever and keeps talking like he knows he's going to die. Of course the narrator can't compete with, or do anything about, a literal force of nature.

My commission progress has been updated!

Audio comms are on-hold until my current pieces are done editing, but the digital art wait-list is open ^_^ Smaller pieces are done while I work on more complex ones, so will likely be done sooner.

No More Zero Comments Project

Hi! Here's a big masterpost for everything you need to know about this project!

The No More Zero Comments (NM0C) Project is dedicated to reducing the number of fics on AO3 with no comments. This is a multifandom community effort with very few rules which you can very easily undertake alone, but hey, why not join us?

The goal is simple: find fics with no comments, read them and leave the author a comment. If you want, you can go out and find fics on your own, but we also have a handy spreadsheet full of fics for you to browse!

You can find the spreadsheet here. There are tonnes of different fandoms to choose from. It will be updated regularly with new fics, so check back as often as you like.

Do you have a fic with zero comments? You can submit it here to be added to the spreadsheet. There is no limit to how many you can submit, and no limits on what you can submit. Any fandom, any category, any rating, no matter how old it is. Yes, even explicit fics. We aren't picky around here. You can also submit other people's fics if you wish.

All I ask is, if you submit your own fics, try and comment on some too! Balance, equality, etc.

The only real rule for submissions is no AI. This blog is vehemently anti-AI and will not accept any fics that use it. EDIT 16/06/25: There are now two more rules - no Harry Potter fics (fuck jkr) and no fics less than a week old.

If you comment on a fic from the spreadsheet, please let me know here so I can remove the fic from the spreadsheet. If you see a fic on the spreadsheet that has a comment, don't fret. I'll get around to removing it soon. Admin's timezone is GMT and I'm most active in the evenings.

Have a question? Feel free to ask!

A few more bits and pieces of information under the cut!

Who runs this blog?

That'd be me, Izak, better known as @lightningzombie! I run this blog alone for now. And yes, I did put my own fics into the spreadsheet. I put it up to a vote and people said I could!

Why did you decide to do this?

Frustration with the lack of comments on my fics and the death of comment culture in general. Bewilderment when I saw a fic that had 1200 kudos and no comments. The joy that leaving 100 comments and receiving 20+ during the Febuwhump commentfest brought me. Boredom. Many reasons!

Is there a prize/competition?

Nope! No incentives whatsoever. Just the joy of fan fiction, of commenting, and community spirit.

Will you do events?

Yes, I plan to! I'm not sure what yet, though.

"I don't know how to comment!"

Yes, you do. "I like this" is a comment. "How dare you do that to [insert blorbo here]" is a comment. "<3" is a comment. "KAJSDAKSDHJ WHYYYYY????" is a comment. "I am rapidly approaching your location" is a comment. Just be kind!

How long will it take me to get a comment?

Dunno. Some people get them within minutes, some hours, some days. Depends on many things. Be patient!

I submitted something but it hasn't been added or removed

I run this blog and the spreadsheet completely alone and manually. Any submissions will be handled as and when i have time. Be patient with me, I'll get to it!

Happy commenting! <3

You have to play portal if you haven’t played it yet thats NOT okay portal 1 is like 4 hours and portal 2 is like 7. How much time do you spend every week scrolling social media. Ok now replace that with thinking with portals. Guess what you just played two 10/10 games and it’s not even Sunday

The ideal book is a diary.

Do kids today know they can have diaries?

They can even lie in it and no one can stop them.

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.

Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.

So unfortunately, Koda has come back from the specialist's hospital with a cold (unsurprising, with his immune system compromised and surrounded by sick cats), so now I need to take him back to the local vet for a shot/meds as well as pay off the last of the procedure costs. (Neither this poor lil guy nor myself can catch a break roflmao) I'm expecting a call from the vet with a report on his MRI scan some time on Monday, and I'm giving regular updates on that on my instagram.

In the interests of giving interested parties something unusual to earn their patronage, I have developed a package commission type that I haven't used before, which I think offers something like a mini-christmas for purchasers because of its diverse contents.

For those who can't browse instagram, here are the slides:

For the total package price, you select a commission option from each of the three sections, which can be three totally separate pieces or a connected set (eg. an illustration for a fanfic you'd like written, as well as an audio performance of said-fic). The MEEP allows me to offer my various creative skills in a cohesive way, and honestly is great value for money, so I hope you'll consider spreading it around to your fandoms. ^_^ (All 'menu items are also available separately)

For writing samples, here is my Ao3 and an extended audio sampler of my recorded work, including spoilers for Seasons for Lilith up to chapter 17.

Please consider commissioning me or spreading this around, lowkey going out of my mind with worry about my son.
