None of my fics include anything suggestive or s*xual, but they do typically lean towards darker concepts and quite a few of them contain some vivid depiction of death or gore, which is viewed as inappropriate to some.

@majoringinfanfiction I don't know how much this will affect you, but I'm still tagging you just in case

You need to move off of Google Docs!

I know some people have seen the news recently and may be doubtful of it. To the uninformed, Google Docs has started using AI to find "inappropriate" and "problematic" content, scraping your documents and deleting it. I know some people are unsure if this is real or think this is not going to affect them.

I regret to inform you that this is real.

As I was on a call with some writers and we were moving our documents as a precautionary measure, one person discovered entire pages missing that they did not delete themselves. This is happening to us, it's not a hoax or a rumor, it's happening right now. You need to move everything if you want to preserve it.

If you're a writer with writer mutuals, please reblog this so they know. I rarely write on Google Docs anymore, but I started my fanfics on there, and I would be devastated if I lost works more than ten years old because people decided marketing appeal is more important than creative freedom.

I'm disappointed to state that this was the only good part of the book, in my opinion. I wouldn't reccomend it to fans of "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It rewrote a major aspect of the original movie's lore and so heavily mischaracterized Sally that reading it felt painful.

I recently started reading the (spin-off) sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas — "Long Live the Pumpkin Queen" — and there was a moment I wanted to share. The context behind this scene is that Jack has just been married to Sally and the two lovebirds have traveled to Valentine's Town for their honeymoon. They have just met the queen there, Ruby Valentino, and she's been explaining her realm to them. This moment occurs between the end of page 25 and start of page 26.

[Scene start]

She shrugs, turning her attention up the street, where two lovers are entangled in the doorway of a chocolate shop–a tall, lean dark-haired man reciting words to a man with curly blond hair and freckles, a poem that it seems he's written himself, the words scribbled onto a pink piece of paper he holds in his palm.

[Scene end]

With how disney is nowadays, it's a shock to see a gay couple just existing within one of their books. I'm glad that they were included, even if for only a small moment.

I also created my own AU, though for a different fandom, inspired mainly by "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"! It's wonderful to see someone else gain inspiration from the marvel and incorporate cartoon logic into their AU.

Also, as a fellow toon fan, I would love to read any rambles you have on cartoons.

☁When creating Toon Logic, were you inspired by Looney Tunes and Alice in Wonderland? ☁

Originally, I was just inspired by the movie "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit", as well as more Looney Tunes and Animaniacs.

That being said, at the time I did see a lot of toon AUs (And a lot of them were super cute) - but the AUs focused on just the Smiling Critters staying in their cartoon world.

I liked the idea of toons being dragged in to experience the horrors of the factory. It gives so much potential to show horror as well as comedy - not to mention it's an excuse to include some of my favorite elements whenever I work on stories.

The Alice in Wonderland references with Dulce actually didn't start right away. It just naturally was a title for him, being a Cheshire cat. Then again, I also love to joke that Dulce created himself, as well as writing himself too.

But basically, yes! I grew up with a lot of classic cartoons, and Looney Tunes holds a very special place in my heart.

Context

Sock Opera

Mabel doesn’t find out about Bill possessing Dipper

Bill destroys Journal 3 and throws Dipper’s body off the water tower

Dipper reenters his body just as Bill exits

Ride the Cyclone

Dipper wakes up in an abandoned warehouse of sorts with the souls of alternate versions of his family members who died

Competition run by the Axolotl ensues to decide who gets to come back to life

Dipper is voted to go back to life on the grounds of he just started puberty and deserves to see that life gets better once he settles into his adult body

Yo Girl

Someone finds Dipper’s unconscious, injured body near the bottom of the water tower and calls 911

Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland show up

Situation reported to Stan

Stan gets Mabel into the Stanmobile and shuttles her to the site of the accident

Blubs and Durland tell Mabel what happened as gently as they can

Bill has successfully drafted evidence to kill Mabel and frame it as a suicide

At some point, Stan and Wendy find this evidence and worried confrontation occurs

Bill possesses Mabel?

Return and Recovery

Dipper wakes up in the hospital

The Ride the Cyclone plot might have been real or it might have been some sort of weird dream

Time travel mechanism?

Everyone thinks he committed suicide

He was unaware of Bill’s plan and is very confused as to why everyone’s being so cautious with him and why everything hurts, etc.

Why does Mabel seem so guilty?

A lot of confusion

It eventually gets cleared up

Answering this ask for you, so that it's visible like you requested.

[romanticizing-writing]

grahh okay sorry to ask this. i sent you the outline for my yo girl/ride the cyclone au and i guess i repurposed the doc. do you think you could just answer the ask with literally any text so i can send it to my friend? she’s helping me write it

Of course! I'm so sorry about doing this so late, though. I had an extremely busy day today and was unable to find time to open Tumblr.

I'm only familiar with Dipper and Mabel, so I'll focus on them. I feel like you would maybe relate to Dipper with his anxiety and how he's constantly worried about stuff. With Mabel, I'm leaning more towards you seeing yourself in her with her creativity and grand imagination. They're also most likely autistic, so there's also that.

This unrelated, but I was doing that one tag game you tagged me for where you match the letters of your username with the first letters of various characters' names, but ended up discarding the post, since I couldn't think of any names once I got to "writing."

It's quite frustrating to watch people simplify PMMM down to a dark and edgy version of the magical girl genre where everything is terrible, watering down all of the nuance and complex writing, when there's so much more to it than that! The very ending of the original anime is about hope winning over despair through an act of great compassion and self-sacrifice. It stays true to the roots of the magical genre while still differentiating itself from it. Yet, so many people brush this aside and dismiss it as the most depressing series ever.

*vanquish

Three days ago, I stumbled upon this Smiling Critters AU by @notglue-9 which was named "Mourning and Mending." Thus far, it has actively consumed my mind. I intend on writing an analysis essay on why I love it so much after I have released the first chapter of my "Gravity Falls in the Making" fic. However, I still want to talk about it at the moment, so I'll be rambling about the AU a little bit in this post. This will essentially be a short analysis.

First and foremost, though, I must provide some context. The AU revolves around all of the Smiling Critters' — Dogday and Catnap's specifically — lives in the afterlife following the events of Poppy Playtime: Chapter Three. Catnap desires to make amends with all of them and repent for his previous sins, voluntarily starting his own redemption arc of sorts. One by one, he slowly gains the trust and forgiveness of all of the SC members — Dogday being the last and hardest one to convince into giving him another chance (for undeniably understandable reasons). As they all move on, their pendants begin to heal and fix themselves up. In this AU, the state of the medallions reflects the mental state of the wearers. The worse the mental health of a character is, the more cracked and broken the accessory will be.

Now, the reason behind why I have fallen in love with this AU is due to just how nuanced the writing is for the characters and how it does villain-redemption-afterlife AU right. Since the goal for these types of AUs is to have the villain become viewed better in the eyes of those they wronged, people will typically twist the story to make it so the villain was actually innocent all along and simply controlled controlled against their will. This way, any resentment the victims were harboring becomes invalid, making the 'redemption' clean and easy to accomplish, since it's made to appear like one was never needed in the first place. This can be seen in several fandoms (particularly the Gacha versions of them) like Undertale, FNaF, and Little Nightmares. You see, Frisk/William/Six never harmed anyone — they/he/she were/was possessed and manipulated by Chara/Glitchtrap/Shadow Six. Excuses like these are created solely for the purpose of justifying them. It would've been so easy for the creator, Not Glue, to take the same path with Catnap, yet they didn't. While "Mourning and Mending" does indeed utilize creativity liberty and the fact that it's an AU to its advantage in painting Catnap in a more sympathetic light, it never dismisses the trauma he caused the other Critters and instead forces him to be held accountable for it. I personally find that honorable and it leads to a much more interesting story.

Anyway, that was my short ramble and/or analysis on my most recent AU hyperfixation. I'll most likely copy and paste the two body paragraphs for my full analysis essay when I end up writing it. I just wanted to gush about it right now.

If anyone's curious or intrigued in the AU, here's a playlist I created of all of the animatics, animations, and comic dubs I found on YouTube for it. I would highly reccomend checking it out, even if you're not invested in the lore of Poppy Playtime. I mean, I'm not, yet I have become obsessed about it.

Thank you so much for reading this!

Thank you for the tag, Major! ^^

I watched horror movies with my dad growing up as a little kid and never found a single one of them scary until she had us view one of the Insidious movies. It was the first time one to ever genuinely creep me out, and caused my mom to ban her from watching horror movies with us for quite a few years. It didn't ruin my interest in horror and darker media, though.
