Alrighty, seeing as I've done a mini rebrand, I may as well finally make a lil introduction post <3
I'm moonlit-orchid. You can call me Moonlit Orchid or just Orchid ^-^
This blog is a very messy scrapbook of things I like and that are consuming my thoughts at any given moment (and could change like the wind). I'm not very consistent in one fandom but you better believe I still love that thing even if I don't post about it as much as I used to.
Occasionally I write fanfiction and draw fanart (mostly traditionally) and upload it here. My og tags were #angeldraws, #myart, and #angelwrites (I think. I don't know how consistent I was with one tag). As I'm prone to wanting to change my blog and it's likely I may one day want to change it again, I'll be tagging them as #myart and #mywriting from now on (so I don't need to change my tag every single time I spontaneously rebrand '=v= )
I do not post nsfw content, however I do have the tendency to curse on occasion (as we all do), and sometimes I may not always tag something that should have a trigger warning, especially when I reblog stuff (I sometimes don't tag reblogs at all...) so that's a thing to know if you're exploring my lil place here.
Some things I like: Star Trek TOS, Yugioh, Naruto, the Super Mario Brothers movie, Howls moving castle and other Ghibli movies (and also the HMC book), Octonauts, Sherlock Holmes (acd canon and the Sherlock and Co podcast), Professor Layton and Pheonix Wright (the game that introduced me to them both is Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright so now in my mind the two universes are one), Horrid Henry, My hero academia, Black Clover, Assassination Classroom (probably the only korokara shipper in the planet/j)and more. Out of the series mentioned, I've only finished Yugioh 5ds and Zexal and assassination classroom ^~^' (I'm bad with shows) so I may not always get characters accurate in fan art and fanfiction (or whenever I produce it)
I also have an ao3 where I am (very slowly) publishing fics!
Enjoy your stay in my lil chaotic corner of the internet!

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

Honestly, this sounds fucking FANTASTIC to me, and we should do it. Cry harder, Mitch.

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.
I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.
One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.
The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?
The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”
I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.
It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"
specific examples include but are not limited to
why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)
why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)
why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)
why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)
why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)
who taught you that this is how things are?
how long do you plan on repeating it?

Taken in 2000 about a year into our relationship.
Taken in 2024 (last weekend). Didn’t quite get the pose or positioning right, but hey, we’re older and our memory ain’t what it used to be!
