Have only recently realised you are the Author of my favorite Castlevania fic.

Sugar Puppies raised my bar for both Modern Au and reincarnation fics. Plus it has the worlds greatest bisexual Polycule so it's an immediate A+.

I'm genuinely so impressed with how much you thought you put into Alucard modern persona. "I would never believe that man is a vampire" (sarcasm) 😆

Also... Do you have a side blog?

Thank you and have a nice day and Good luck with the writing 🦇🗡️💔

Omg that old thing?😂 It's been a while, god. I ended up never finishing it because my brain latched onto ther fandoms, but I never delete fics because people might still like them. I can dig up the outline if I still have it, let's see if we can do something about it.

I do! This is the sideblog!😂 I have like five of them, one main, one for writing and references (this one), one for fanart, one for cooking recipies and general handy tips and the fifth one I cannot mention because bestie is still tearing the internet apart finding it😂 I like to keep things organized.

Thank you, I try!♥♥♥♥

you know I am willing to give luo binghe massive amounts of shit for being totally deranged because he is such a dick but also like, his very favorite person in the world did open their relationship by abusing him for actual years and then just turn on a dime and start spoiling him

and since he never got an explanation for any of that, even before he got thrown off a cliff into hell he had to choose between rejecting one of three positive personal relationships he'd experienced in his entire life (and the only one where he was getting as much support as he needed) or structuring his understanding of personal interaction so that history was actually cool and okay somehow, and like

literally anyone in that situation would have come out with some fucked-up norms about relationships and boundaries. i can only blame him so much for not knowing where lines ought to happen! his dataset is fucked.

chinese hanfu by 三千国风

[katoninetailswrites]

Classic style makeup shi-nv-zhuang仕女妆 a timeless aesthetic inspired by court paintings from chinese dynasties, embodying elegance through minimalist refinement.

Natural cosmetics dominated during these times -eyebrow ink (soft black) and rouge (coral red) as staples. The palette was minimalist: eyebrows finely arched like willow leaves, eyeshadow barely there (when applied at all, eyeshadow adhered to a muted palette of natural earth hues, think ochre and burnt sienna), with a delicate watercolor-like blush drifting from lids to cheeks. The essence of Shinvzhuang lies in accentuating the natural gaze -emotions must transmit instantly, yet without heavy false lashes which obscure the eyes' expressiveness.

[Hanfu・漢服]Elegance in Every Step: The Hidden Story of Ancient Chinese Women's Shoes

Delicate. Symbolic. Ingenious. Chinese women's shoes from centuries past were more than just footwear—they were a reflection of art, identity, and social order.

👣 From the elegant cloud-head shoes of the Tang Dynasty, 👠 to the curved bow shoes of the Song, 🌸 to the bold, towering flowerpot soles of Qing noblewomen— each style tells a deeper story about beauty, power, and tradition.

One pair discovered in Empress Dowager Cixi’s collection? Crafted with jewels and fine silk—worth nearly $25 million today.

These shoes weren’t just worn. They walked through dynasties, carrying the grace and complexity of a culture thousands of years old.

Let them be seen.

Birbliophile in Dr Stone fandom:

there is currently a dr stone fan census going on hosted by weretigers on twitter!! fill it out and share it around if you want!

[katoninetailswrites]

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

Okay I'm here I'm queer let's GOOOO.

Currently marinating a Dr. Stone fic in my head: Gods' Favorite Problem Child It's on AO3 if you want to check it out.

💙Rin-sensei. She was on OC I created to fill in a narrative gap but then my readers have liked her so much that I had to scramble and make her an actual character instead of a narrative device. So she's very much an accidental baby.

❤BWAHAHAHAHAH OMG, if Shen Yuan woke up in the Dr. Stone universe he would have been like 'Guess I'll die' about it, my man could barely survive Ancient China and that was only because he had his blorbo to obsess over. If Senku ended up in Demon Summoning 101 there probably wouldn't have been a plot because he wouldn't even think to try it, or he WOULD and then it would turn into a vivisection horror. For the demons.

🧡None of them? I try not to create characters in fics unless I specifically need them for something, because I'm shit at making OCs. If one of those ain't cooperating, they're getting aborted before readers even knew there was a new baby cooking.

💛I don't! I'm one of those weirdos who writes in complete and utter silence. I don't think the sound of my frantic keyboard clicks counts?

💚If I had to absolutely clown on myself and name one, I think it would be 'A very powerful character put in a situation where their power doesn't help them at all'. I don't think this is usually a trope? But it's like the one theme I've seen consistently in my works. I guess I just want to see god eat dirt and then cry about it.

🍣 If my fic was a meal, specifically GFPC, it would be Spekkoek. For those of you who are not familiar with it, it's called a Thousand layer Cake. It's sweet, cinnamony, melts in your mouth and it requires at least one sleepless night to make. You have to be quick, precise, and basically be a trained marathon runner to make it properly. As one recipe I saw put it: I do it not out of love but to brag. GFPC was born of a fever dream and a two-week long flu, and the knowledge behind it took me six years of college to achieve. And yet, I think it amassed my most loyal following yet. The slow burn represents that fact that each layer of Spekkoek's 18+ requires individual baking (you put a layer on and shove it in the oven for 3 min, and then add another and back in the oven GOD)

So yes. Spekkoek.

💜BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME I EVER HAD ANY CONTROL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

🖤Oh, that's easy. A virus. They're in the stone age, one mutated strain in a world before vaccines reaches the right person and suddenly society is no more. I'm not even necessarily talking about Senku.

💘Tsukasa, obviously, tho he got redeemed in canon too. His current redemption arc is still ongoing, but I think he's on the right track.

💔Well, half of Senku's worst nightmare kinda already came true. It turned out fine but then Gen added oil to the flame. Currently, I think he's most dreading someone stronger than Tsukasa coming along and taking him away, which basically restarts his first nightmare. He's afraid of his knowledge being used for evil, and him not being able to do anything to stop it.

❤️‍🩹 Very awkwardly but with a lot of heart. Senku would pepper his assurances with logic and solutions. His venting and problem solving phases are one and the same. It worked for him so far!

💝 Ho hum, not very well. There is no way to give Senku a happy ending immediately, because he's straddling two different worlds he's come to care about. He's working on advancing the stone age people to a proper civilisation and getting the industry necessary to feed 8 billion people back on track, but that will be a project of a lifetime, and he's aware of that. There's no good solutions without a hard work, but Senku wouldn't be very happy to wake up one day gray and wrinkly with all of his dreams already achieved. Doing it is half the fun.

Okay that's all for me, I think? I tag @birbliophile

Okay so I have bunch of stupid questions I’ve been meaning to ask my fellow creators and I hope I can make a tumblr game out of it.

Feel free to answer some or none, or ask me these as well (I’m trying to beat writing block)

…and it’s free advertisement

The name of your art/au/fic you’re creating right now and where to find it:

💙 Which of your favorite characters you’ve created by accident and how?

❤️ How would your characters react if you switched the background of the last two fanfics / art you’ve made around?

🧡 Which of the characters you’ve created are an absolute asshole to work with?

💛 Do you have a soundtrack for your fic/story? (And do you link it anywhere?)

💚 What is your favorite trope you keep coming back to?

🩵 If your fic/art was a meal, what/how would it be? Salty? Sweet? Dinner, breakfast? Comfort food?

💜Did you ever lost control over your fic/art?

🖤 What small thing in your story could trigger a literal worst outcome? (Like, character tripping over something leads to the end of the world)

🩶 which grey character started out as villain and you made them likable cause of reasons? Or if you have such character at all?

💔 what is your main character’s worst nightmare? (Favourite horror story)

❤️‍🩹 How would your character comfort someone?

💝 If you could give your character a happy ending right here and there, how would they react?

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

[katoninetailswrites]

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Creating drama between protagonists who get along can be a big challenge. Reasonable people avoid fighting, and protagonists need to stay sympathetic or they could alienate audiences. But sometimes the story calls for friction between best friends or an obstacle for a relationship arc that’s almost finished. For such situations, let’s look at seven ways to open a rift between characters who are already close.

[katoninetailswrites]

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

[katoninetailswrites]

Emotional Walls Your Character Has Built (And What Might Finally Break Them)

(How your character defends their soft core and what could shatter it) Because protection becomes prison real fast.

✶ Sarcasm as armor. (Break it with someone who laughs gently, not mockingly.) ✶ Hyper-independence. (Break it with someone who shows up even when they’re told not to.) ✶ Stoicism. (Break it with a safe space to fall apart.) ✶ Flirting to avoid intimacy. (Break it with real vulnerability they didn’t see coming.) ✶ Ghosting everyone. (Break it with someone who won’t take silence as an answer.) ✶ Lying for convenience. (Break it with someone who sees through them but stays anyway.) ✶ Avoiding touch. (Break it with accidental, gentle contact that feels like home.) ✶ Oversharing meaningless things to hide real depth. (Break it with someone who asks the second question.) ✶ Overworking. (Break it with forced stillness and the terrifying sound of their own thoughts.) ✶ Pretending not to care. (Break it with a loss they can’t fake their way through.) ✶ Avoiding mirrors. (Break it with a quiet compliment that hits too hard.) ✶ Turning every conversation into a joke. (Break it with someone who doesn’t laugh.) ✶ Being everyone’s helper. (Break it when someone asks what they need, and waits for an answer.) ✶ Constantly saying “I’m fine.” (Break it when they finally scream that they’re not.) ✶ Running. Always running. (Break it with someone who doesn’t chase, but doesn’t leave, either.) ✶ Intellectualizing every feeling. (Break it with raw, messy emotion they can’t logic away.) ✶ Trying to be the strong one. (Break it when someone sees the weight they’re carrying, and offers to help.) ✶ Hiding behind success. (Break it when they succeed and still feel empty.) ✶ Avoiding conflict at all costs. (Break it when silence causes more pain than the truth.) ✶ Focusing on everyone else’s healing but their own. (Break it when they hit emotional burnout.)

Imagine you're a mob boss of the biggest and most feared mafia of the land. One day your subordinates find a homeless hippie and bring him to you because he can do magic. The hippie denies being able to do magic and then performs magic right in front of you. He says it's not magic because he knows how it works. It works by god's will, is what you're hearing when he explains it. He might be insane but he's definitely magic.

So you take the hippie with you because your former boss and now mob rival is holding your sister hostage and you're hoping to use him as a weapon. He says he won't use his magic to hurt people, and you can't make him. To prove his point, he makes a volcano explode and dies in front of your eyes. You're angry you lost someone so valuable but what can you do? He's dead.

Then a month later you hear that someone in this little town is performing miracles, healing people of incurable ilnesses. You send a spy and find out that hippie you found literally resurrected himself and is now about to marry whoever becomes the new mayor.

So you go over there, beat up the other Mayor candidate, and go into the church with your soon-to-be-husband hippie. You walk in and the hippie suddenly asks where did you get the picture of his dad's favorite angel? You're confused as fuck and then the priest says, 'Do you take this man, Jesus Christ, as your lawfully wedded husband?' and you can't even call bullshit because this weird homeless hippie being the literal Jesus Son of God actually explains a lot.

Of course you say 'yes', but you wonder what the fuck you got yourself into.

That's essentially Tsukasa's perspective in God's Favorite Problem Child.

Hi there! I recently discovered your fanfiction series The World Your Father Left You and binge-read the entire series in one go – I’m utterly obsessed with this brilliant story! The meticulously researched details, spot-on character portrayals, and raw, immersive emotional depth completely blew my mind. Your work has lived rent-free in my head ever since (I’ve thought about it at least three times a day for the past month, zero exaggeration 😭), so I painted some fan art inspired by your God’s Favorite Problem Child as a tribute. Hope you like it! Thank you so much for pouring your heart into this masterpiece – it’s truly a gift to readers. Wishing you all the best! 💖💖💖

(I originally commented as FlyingJackdaw on ao3,but later on found out this account of yours by chance so I decided to send them here.I'm still not quite familiar with tumbrl,and I use a translator to write the comments.Apologies for any mistake!)
