#(i'm just queueing a lot of posts for every day of 2022)

[eldritchamy]

omg i completely forgot about the grand folia hotel. i read it when it came out, it rewired my whole dang brain, and then i moved on. aaaa im gonna go reread it right now even though I've been up all night and need to sleep (there aren't any plants around to stop me from making self-destructive sleep cycle decisions muahaha). thank you for your post about it! also if it's alright to offer a recommendation, Hospitable Takeover on Readonlymind.com was the second ever HDG fanfic and in my opinion greatly informed the tone of the setting in 2021 and 2022. It's also just super cozy and comfy and a perennial favorite of mine ^w^

You're welcome for the brainworms!

I understand completely, I'm not sure WHAT chapter 10 did to me but I think my brain is a torus now. I didn't THINK I had a free use kink (I PROBABLY still don't, at least as a participant), but I didn't think I had a PETPLAY kink either until this fucking universe started turning me inside out a few days ago.

I'm already rereading The Grand Folia Hotel myself because I feel like given the plot there's a lot more to get out of it by reading it through a second time (somehow I didn't realize that Phoebe was basically in a perpetual lesbian bluescreen from the moment she stepped into the garden in chapter 1).

Plus it was just EXTRAORDINARILY HOT and I can't wait to watch Phoebe/Amaranth get broken all over again.

It's a shame the story didn't keep going into the ongoing corruption and implantation past her initial surrender, the characters had such good chemistry with each other that I'm really craving more of them. Would have LOVED a chapter or two (or six) of newly implanted pinnates, especially with how amused Celosia was by the fact that they fucking tricked her into taking them at all. Celosia and Phoebe are fucking perfect for each other.

Her revenge must have been DELICIOUS.

And GOD Becca must have been so fucking smug about it once Phoebe was ACTUALLY a floret. I need to know the teasing that happened once she got her real implant.

This is what I meant in a previous post when I said I was "frothing at the cerebellum" to read it again. I'm going actually insane.

Which, as many new people are I'm sure rapidly learning about me, means it is Once Again Infodump Time, because I suffer from a terminal case of Someone Needs To Shut Me Up With A Kiss disease. (I am also a long sufferer of Capitalizes Letters For Emphasis syndrome.)

I'm like the free use kink of infodumping, a bunch of people seem to have figured out how to make me do it almost on queue, and they do it, because they think it's cute. I don't DENY that it's cute, but god does it seem to cost me a lot of the time that I meant to spend reading about the good little florets.

I CAN'T keep taking an hour to write every goddamn post I make about HDG. WHEN WILL I SLEEP? More importantly, WHEN WILL I FINISH REREADING CHAPTER TWO? It took me four extraneous paragraphs to even mention that the read more continues exactly from the train of thought I left off on an aforementioned four paragraphs ago! God, I need help.

AND Phoebe never even saw herself in a mirror ONCE in the story! I want to know what happened the first time she saw what the Class Gs were doing to her! (Do you think Celosia put her in Doll Mode and made Amaranth pose in front of a mirror and be perfectly still, watching her own blank expression obediently while Celosia and Jazz just relentlessly caressed her with every imaginable affection? Do you think Phoebe's wake up trigger was Amaranth saying "Good dolls know they are deserving of love. I'm a good doll and I am worthy of love"? Do you think, beyond the moment when she accepted she was meant to be broken by Celosia's will, that that was the moment she understood what it meant to be put back together, and it was the moment she truly felt, and for the first time could not deny or run away from, that she was the happiest she'd ever been? Because I DO think that happened. And I need it.)

It even would have been nice to see INDRA further along in her own corruption later on. Altiss seemed like a good influence on her, it was really sweet that she had that nice moment with Phoebe at the end of the Matinee.

I'm STARVING for more of that specific story, it was SO good. (Keysmasht, if you ever see this somehow, how much of my soul do you want for a few more chapters? I'll beg.)

Hell, I might beg for permission to write those chapters MYSELF someday. That story is too good for there to not be more of it.

Anyway.

Thanks for the recommendation! I can't BELIEVE I've never heard of this setting before now, it's extremely my shit (apparently) and I'm loving the discovery of new, interesting content that I can not fucking put down. Judging by the tags on my posts, and a friend on discord, flinging myself headfirst into all of this has inspired a few other little seedlings to follow me into florethood.

Recommendations from people more familiar with the setting and stories are definitely welcome, though I can't promise I'll get to any one particular story soon.

Abscission and Divaricated come up in a lot of recommendations for lore reasons? But I've been putting off some of the longer stories like those and Dog of War because they're HUGE commitments and it's so hard not to consume as many stories as possible.

Except, of course, for the fact that I keep rereading the ones I've already gone through because I like what they did to my brain.

I'm struggling not to make TWO other ones I've already read (the original and Inosculate) the next ones on the list after rereading Grand Folia.

Hospital Takeover sounds like an EXCELLENT recommendation, I LOVE cozy and comfy stuff within a primarily kink setting. I'm SO glad the second one I ever read was A Normal Grocery Run During Which No Domestication Occurs. I adore the way SapphicSounds writes dorkier more nervous Affini, and I'm glad I got to see THAT QUICKLY how much of a tonal range there was in HDG stories.

Sleepy Bitch also sounds cute, so I wanna do that one soon.

Also the reading of any particular one is slow going because unfortunately my brain is absolutely churning with ideas of my own. I'm VERY tempted to do a pinnates one because I'm absolutely HOOKED on that concept in particular. I already know one of their names and I just came up with a great title for the story while ...rather vividly imaging a very intense domming scene.

I do want to read a fair bit more before I try my hand at writing one, though. While I've got enough domme in me to feel like I could do some of the Affini taunting justice (seeing Akash in the first story use almost the exact domming style I go for was... enlightening, to say the least; now I know why I get such good keymashes out of my teasing victims), I want to have a bit more confidence in the world itself first to make sure I get it right.

But it's far from the first time I've considered writing erotica. I definitely have the brainworms for it at the moment.

last update: june 10th, 2025

[every-sanji]

I don’t have much to say other than I really love your dedication to this, you don’t miss a pixel if it even smells like sanji lmao. You haven’t stopped since I started following you, and I feel like this is an archive the people need. Oda would be proud, I think ❤️ just showing so much needed love your way, have a good day :)

wawawawa thank you!! as thanks i'm gonna give a glimpse into my journey running the blog under the read more :)

this blog has been through a lot of phases at least for me. anyone who has been around since the beginning probably remembers when i still added captions to every. single. post. that eventually evolved into my occasional tag rambles you still see today but the captions ranged from commentary to just random thoughts i was having at the time. for whatever reason i thought i had to caption every post and this lasted for a while until i realized i didnt have to do that and could just post the photo.

also when i first started the blog it was at the very very start of covid and i got very bored because all of my college classes suddenly halved their work load and i had all the time in the world to do whatever i wanted so i instantly threw like 500 posts in my queue and drafts because this was still the era when you had a maximum of 300 posts in the queue. and since you cant reverse chronological sort your drafts, every single day as posts left my queue i would go into my drafts, scroll through all 200 posts in there, and press add to queue for 5 posts to refill it to the maximum.

eventually though i went back to school and suddenly didnt have as much time as i used to so i dropped down to anywhere from 1-3 sanjis a day depending on the era. this is part of why it took so fucking long to get through water 7 and enies lobby because i was going through it 3 posts at a time. i kept the queue barely afloat with like 30 posts at most in my queue and did a chapter or two every week. this period lasted about 3 years as i finished school.

now i should mention that with everything above, i was queueing sanjis from my phone. i didn't have an automatic screenshot clipper on my college laptop so i didn't really have any other choice without going through like 5 extra steps. i went through 4 phones (my first one was a galaxy s8 that i'd had from 2018 all the way until ~2021 when it broke, followed by some notepad phone that just couldn't run games for shit so i immediately turned it back in and went back to an s8 that used to be my mom's which i had until right before i graduated college when the charging port stopped working properly and i finally upgraded to the s22 that i have now). up until about august of *last year* i was making every single post from my phone. after i moved for my summer job last summer i realized my new laptop allows me to clip my screenshots and started queuing things that way.

anyway while i was posting on my phone i did have one brief period for i think a week where my queue ran out and it was during finals for my last fall semester of college since i just had a lot happening. we had a few close calls if anyone remembers summer 2022 when i was going through some stuff irl with a death in the community but it turns out i use this blog to ground myself when i'm feeling bad sometimes lol. funny how that works

well since last summer when i realized it was easier to queue from my laptop i've been doing it like that ever since with only one exception which you might have seen my tags about lol. i had 2 weeks in august this year where i didnt have internet and my queue was running low so i bit the bullet and just added posts from my phone.

as for how i manage to find even the smallest of sanjis: i mostly just skim chapters and try to track his movements between panels. i keep an eye on who sanji is next to and what other landmarks might be there and when the panels zoom out i can normally find him if he's shown somewhere. which leads to those insanely small sanjis that are five pixels tall. it's definitely a skill you have to hone through practice and i'm sure i've missed a few sanjis even doing this but i'm definitely a lot closer to getting every single one. i do sometimes wonder if these gimmick blogs are known outside of the tumblr fandom and if word has made its way back to people involved in the series. this is mostly just a pipe dream and i know its not very realistic but a guy can dream right.

and if you've read this far, just a reminder you can make me post more sanjis a day by donating to any of the gfms in my pinned post! each donation extends the current queue by 2 weeks so you can make me really expedite the process of getting some of these sanjis out there. i'm getting close to being done with punk hazard and i'm so excited to get further

[piggybankstomfoolery]

where else can you find me these days?

I'm gonna try to make this easy for now and say Cohost. there are other sites, but it's been my favorite of them all. You can find me on there in three different places:

markandflops (my main blog, usually art goes here but sometimes other things do too! safe and good fun!)

piggybank (private journal similar to this blog, if you've enjoyed following me here on piggybankstomfoolery and use cohost you're welcome to send a follow request!))

You can also check my markandflops linktree for more sites.

More thoughts below:

Cohost has been my favorite to check in on since I stumbled on it back in 2022. it's different from the usual concept of a social media site and takes some adjustment (you'll probably find it to be very quiet when you first start using it, make sure to follow a bunch of cool people asap!), but I've found it to be pretty chill and keep a lot of the tumblr experience intact. It's also run by a pretty small yet productive crew (unlike pillowfort which is glacial in its updates) and runs on an "opt-in" philosophy instead of "opt-out", unlike tumblr, twitter, bluesky, instagram... pretty much every other social media site these days. it's been a refreshing change of pace imo.

As for tumblr, I think I may take a step back from this place for now. The triple whammy of tumblr live paired with the leadership's idiocy and following it up with an even worse mess than tumblr live ever was is too much.

It feels bittersweet seeing this site take a ton of heavy hits right after I crossed 13 years of using it, but I'm also happy it's lived for as long as it has. I've made so many friends, created some of my most famed works and made more than a few good memories using this site. I'm happy to have been here. <3

I might still post/reblog some more stuff here out of habit or queue, but I'll pin this post just in case things do go quiet.

[swanimagines]

Ok a small change of plans. To ensure my ability to tighten my updating schedule starting from September 1, I need to reschedule some of my pieces so my queue would last longer while I'm filling it.

This means that fics that were listed in my queue post have been postponed and I have yet to arrange their new posting days. This was a hard decision for me because I'm slightly afraid of receiving hate about it and I considered to just leave my decision unannounced and just do it without telling anyone because of that, but I know that wouldn't be fair for my readers.

I hope this will help my queue in a long run, meaning I'd be able to tighten my schedule to even post more often(!!!) than what I originally promised.

I almost did something very radical to solve this problem, but ended up not doing that. I just feel bad seeing requests from as far back as 2021 still lying in my drafts, I would love to see them in my queue, written ready to go live. I know that a fast resolution for this would just wipe all my old requests out and starting fresh, I keep getting people suggesting me to do that, but I don't want to do that, I just know I'd regret doing that because there are a lot of requests I've looked forward to writing but haven't gotten to them for one reason or another, and even picking out the ones that are my fave scenarios and dump the rest feels like I will regret doing that because knowing me, I'd just get a major idea for a request right after deleting the draft, I'd rather not risk it when writing has been hard for me anyway for a few years now. I also have gotten a lot of people telling me I won't have to hurry with them and it's my right to be as slow as I want, and while I appreciate the support, I know that. But it still doesn't change the fact that I feel anxious seeing those in my drafts when they were supposed to be published during 2022. And the knowledge that if years 2022-2023 and most of 2024 weren't how they were to me, my wips wouldn't be so messed up they are, I would want to finally take back control with them.

And that's why I circled around an idea to post every single day until April next year (starting from when The Sandman requests start posting because there will be daily posts from 3rd of July to at least until 15th of July) to get all my fics out and finally be able to start "fresh", but I decided to sit on my idea for two weeks at minimum and make a decision after that, it's been 5 days since I got that idea and this morning I finally concluded that's a terrible idea, I'd need to be much much more prepared to do something like that. For now, one fic a week is sustainable and a good pace, at least until I have enough fics to post two to three times a week, or maybe my writing launches over these next two months and my queue will be filled with hundred+ fics by September 1 (if that happens, I will absolutely start posting daily but I wouldn't count on such a miracle).

I've still not abandoned the idea completely, but I'd need more time to prepare it + a long-lasting motivation to write as it fluctuates a lot right now and that's obviously not good if I'm supposed to publish something every single day.

Let's look at this again during next autumn, maybe I'll be able to prepare more for something like that by then!

[k-s-morgan]

How are you?

Since you sent this ask today and it's the last day of the month, I decided to use it for my monthly post! I hope you don't mind <3

I'm doing more or less okay, though February marked one year anniversary since the start of the senseless war. There were repeated bombings through February; more apartment complexes and residential buildings were hit, more people died - all because of the outdated ambitions of one government and the stupidity, greed, and bloodthirstiness of a half of the nation it rules. Ruzzian soldiers keep invading Ukraine to kill Ukrainian people, bomb Ukrainian territories, burn Ukrainian ecology, including wild life, pets, and birds, destroy Ukrainian crops, buildings, and culture, and condemn millions of people to the loss of their loved ones and the homes they spent a lifetime saving up on. Why? None of them can give even a semi-believable answer. This is a unique phenomenon that psychiatrists should study for decades to come.

Here's a photo of the building situated across of mine. Second day of war, February 25, 2022 - the first results of a new reality Russia decided to bring to its neighbours. The explosions, the terror, the separations; endless queues in the stores; air raid sirens; deadly silence in the huge building that used to be full of voices, laughter, and arguments.

But February 25, 2023 was different. My building was full of chattering again. A neighbor was singing in the shower as he always does; my pigeons were arguing; two annoying children downstairs were yelling and arguing. Life has returned, and this year made all of us stronger.

Last year, I was sure that Russia was about to win. I had no faith in Ukraine, only bitterness because my country was never perfect and it made its share of huge mistakes. But now, things have changed. Russia humiliated itself on a global level. It will forever be remembered as a hotbed of fascism and mindless greed, and there is every chance that Ukraine will win. I have faith now, though I understand that many scenarios are possible. Either way, I'm extremely proud of my country, and I have Russia to thank for turning me into a passionate patriot of Ukraine.

I did a lot of writing this year, and everyone who supported me through comments, Patreon and messages largely contributed to it. I don't have many friends in real life, I'm not a very communicative person and I'm a hopeless introvert, so you all played a huge role in inspiring me and giving me strength. Thank you, I will never forget this.

On a personal front, my three wonderful idiot cats are doing fine; I'm still fighting for the health of 4 of my pigeons, though. One pigeon in particular is in danger now. Here she is: her name is Aristrokratka.

She's always been a wild pigeon - I was feeding her from my window for over a decade; one day, I noticed that someone broke her wing. She struggled to fly: once she reached the top of a streetlight (this was as far as she could go in her state), she stayed there for over 24 hours to regain her strength. I was despondent, so I, my brother and my mother tried to catch her. The entire neighbourhood watched how we chased her under the cars and on the mini-roofs. Finally, I managed to trap and get her.

She's been living with me for over 2 years now. Sadly, she has an egg stuck inside her. It's old, it got entwined with her insides by now, and she needs surgery. It's risky, so we decided to do it only if she starts feeling poorly. Her condition isn't perfect, but she's well enough, so I don't want to possibly steal whatever time she has left.

While I'm sad that she might leave me soon, her story is not sad. She has had a long and fulfilling life, and she has everything I can give her.

Here's the recent video with my two cats: Tom, my clumsy boy, couldn't climb up from the hole he hid himself in, and Laoriy tried to help him. Though I suspect he wanted him out just because he wanted to hide there himself :D

Thank you all again for staying here and supporting me. I hope 2023 will be happier in every respect for my country, as much as it's possible. But we'll see.

There is no such thing as an unproblematic piece of media, production team, or morally-pure person. There isn't. There's only "what flaws I am willing to put up with," which is going to be different for every person. If your friend has a different level of acceptable bullshit than you, it's probably fine, actually? The sooner people learn that, the happier in general they will be.

Listen, if you are on Twitter and you haven't recently downloaded your data, you really need to. Like, now.

With the recent layoffs, I am willing to bet money that Twitter is going to implode very soon. Maybe not permanently, but dramatically, and very, very soon. Like "Liz Truss vs a head of lettuce" soon.

I base this quite simply on knowing the kind of shit my wife deals with every day, and listening to people on the news who have talked to Twitter employees about the site at all. Not only do I think there's some Thing that will cause Twitter to puke all over itself like a 19yo who just discovered wine coolers, but I think there are multiple Things, and they are not in the future. They are occurring right now.

They fired the people who know which software licenses are up for renewal next. They fired the people who know that this cache needs to be manually emptied, and yeah they should have written a script for it but there were so many other projects that it was easier for Bob to just manually do it on Friday mornings while on his 2nd cup of coffee. They fired the people who know to not poke this thing in that way bc this thing works in a non-standard fashion, but it works, so even though the software manual says "poke it," don't do that. They fired the people that know that this queue getting up over X number of tickets means it starts eating tickets and erasing half the data you need to fix issues, so you have to compress the ticket numbers at least every 2 days with an ad hoc utility script that Jane wrote after your team discovered this issue. Not all of the institutional knowledge is gone, but a lot of it is, and once that knowledge is gone, it's not coming back. Once that knowledge is gone, things unravel quickly at an institution that size.

Whatever happens on the social end of things - and that's a fucking mess - make your contingency plans for not losing touch with people now, and get downloads of your shit. Now. Not later. This will not fizzle out like LiveJournal. I'm willing to bet that it will simply cease to be one day soon. It might come back once it disappears.

I'm just not counting on it, and neither should you.

If you think these "anti drag" pushes aren't going to be used against trans people for just existing in public, you really really need to read up on the vice laws which caused Stonewall.

If you think Stonewall was only trans women and transmascs/butches/trans men weren't arrested during the leadup to the riot, you need to read up on who was there, who was arrested, and why.

They are coming for all of us. Your supposed respectability will not save you. We will survive this if we stick together, and only if.

Just me crying in the bathroom so I don't wake my partners with this, fuck.

So to sum up: CT and DC have passed laws making it illegal to extradite someone to another state if they are being charged in that other state for crimes pertaining to abortion or trans health care, and makes it legal to sue and get your money back if you are targeted by a TX-style "bounty" law. DC also includes "crimes" of consensual adult sex, gay and interracial marriage and cohabitation and providing or using contraception.

This is, as the thread explains, basically legal interstate warfare. CT and DC's laws bar compliance with such laws.

This is, on one hand, kind of terrifying, because this is where we are now. It's going to get worse long before it gets better.

On the other hand... holy shit, someone fucking did something.

Someone fucking did something real.

✨the queue✨: a guide

the queue is great! it's helpful if you want to post regularly or if you have lots of posts you want to reblog but don't want to do all at once.

you can queue posts by either a) clicking the reblog button > clicking the arrow next to it once it opens the page where you can add comments > selecting 'add to queue'; or

b) going into settings > clicking on the part that says 'labs' (where tumblr has new features they're working on) > turning on 'fast queue' (this adds a new icon next to the 'reply' and 'reblog' icons where you basically reblog a post but 'add to queue' is the default).

and why would i want to post regularly, you ask? well, the more you post (and the more diverse posts you have), the more likely it is for your posts to reach more people. accurate tags help with this, too. it also helps if you need to post at a consistent schedule for whatever reason, but can't always log on at the same time every day.

if you want to queue your posts at more random times, go into labs and turn on 'queue 2.0'. this enables a more detailed way to schedule your queued posts. i had to play around with it before i found something i liked, and i suggest you do too.

that's it

@behindtheireyes

Before Eddie had left Hawkins, something inside told him he would return, that his fate was to be in that messed up small town, so he knew the string of fate would one day pull him back. Ten years had passed, it was now 1996 and so much had changed. Eddie hadn’t expected to feel relief as he crossed over the line into town, it felt as though he had been holding his breath for the past 10 years, such a strange feeling. He had ended up apprenticing under a mechanic and saved every penny he could, he had left his band behind when he left Hawkins but he had taken to solo gigs and made some extra money that way. He had made enough to purchase not only a small single floor two bedroom home but an old garage with an apartment on top. He settled back in fairly quickly, though he tended to avoid going into town if he could help it, his uncle enjoyed doing the shopping, it made him feel useful in his old age and now they were close enough that he could walk there.

Eddie wasted no time getting the garage set up and ready to go, he was open within the week and mostly serviced passing vehicles but the occasional townsfolk stopped by, most didn’t recognise him but he was sure a few did. His hair was cut short, his curls still very much there and he was wearing grease covered overalls with the sleeves pushed up, he wasn’t skinny anymore and instead had some toned muscles. A few months had passed and he was happily blasting some Metallica while he was laying on a wheeled board under a car, not noticing someone was there until he slid out and looked up to find someone standing right beside him, “oh fuck,” he quickly covered his eyes with a filthy grease covered hand, “I’m so sorry! I didn’t realise you were there and I looked straight up your skirt oh God I’m so sorry,” he apologised, still the same soft boy he had been before he left, he hadn’t even registered who the person was, just that her had accidentally looked up her skirt.

Open to: Girlfriend, boyfriend or friend.

Eddie shot up, sitting straight up on the couch and grasping at his throat as he struggled to breathe at first, he had fallen asleep. It had felt so real, he could still feel it, the tails wrapped around his throat, constricting, the nightmares were getting worse. “Where are you?”

Eddie had been spending a lot of time at the bench in the forest where he had been with Chrissy, his name had been cleared but people still believed he was guilty, all he wanted was to make sure she was okay. He was laying on his back across the table, watching the clouds as his arms hung over the edge, he had deep wounds across his neck and exposed arms from the demobat, sleeves pushed up. Hearing a twig snap nearby he sat up so quickly he had to push his hair back out of his face. Eddie just stared for a few moments before getting off the table to fast he almost tripped over his own legs.

“Chrissy!” He wasn’t thinking, he just acted, throwing his arms around her and pulling her into his body, one hand holding her back tightly, the other one buried into her hair. The metalhead had been into her as long as he could remember, just as he thought he was finally starting to have a chance he watched her almost die. He showed no intention of loosening his arms from around her.

@theolderh3nderson​ continued from here

Eddie grinned, he had told Dustin to pretend he’d ditched him if anyone asked so he could use him as an excuse to spend time with someone he was interested in, though Dustin had no idea that person was his sister. “I think I can manage that,” it was nice for someone to not assume Eddie couldn’t afford to pay for things, he had more money than people realised. “It starts in...” he looked at his watch, “just under two hours so we’ve got like, an hour before we need to leave.” Eddie’s car had been fixed up, he’d had to buy new parts for the engine, he’d burned out the old one from driving too fast.

The reason it’s hard for me to be a person who is positive about the future is because anytime my life starts looking up and maybe things start falling into place, something huge and negative shows up and knocks me the fuck down. I always have, and continue to, merely keep my head above water.

End of the year writing round up

I was tagged by @barbex​ and @roguelioness​

Overview: This year I mostly stepped away from writing for Dragon Age after a series of unfortunate events that made me bitter about the fandom. I kind of started writing a fic for The Wayhaven Chronicles, but the story uses so little of canon that it might as well be an original at this point. That being said, I did write a fair bit of it and I’m quite proud.

As you can see, I wrote 72K words last year and I am thrilled, because it’s the most I’ve written in one year, ever - by about 20k words. As a bonus, here’s the percentages of how often I wrote in the last year. It’s not great, but it sure is better than 2020. Go me!

My #1 post of 2022

This was supposed to be a time of excitement and hope for the future. Instead, it’s become a nightmare.

About three weeks ago I finally made the decision to separate from the man I was living with. After several years of living like casual roommates, he was still blindsided when I told him I wanted to move out away from him, as if our relationship hadn’t been the worst joke in existence. Alas, after some sulking and some FB dramatics on his part, I was excited to move on. I was looking at new places to move into.

And then I found out my mother had a serious fall and had cracked her head enough to not be able to speak for a day. This stubborn woman had *refused* to go get it checked out and it wasn’t before I yelled at her that she chose to go get tested. It wasn’t until the day after that I found she had been admitted to the hospital. It wasn’t until the day after that I got the worse news of my entire life.

My mom has brain cancer.

The doctors are convinced that based on imaging they’ve done, the cancer had come from a different part of her body, but before they could give her all the testing to find out, she refused treatment, refused further testing, and went home. She hasn’t worked since the hospital stay and has been struggling to pick up things, or take care of basic needs.

I am still in shock, tbh, but I’m not afforded the luxury of processing my own emotions because suddenly she’s deteriorating at an exceeding pace and it looks like she might not have a lot of time.

In the meantime, I was approved for a wonderful one-bedroom apartment that looks absolutely *lovely*, but it’s incredibly hard to celebrate this new chapter of my life when it looks like I’m going to have yet another reason to hate my June birthday.

I don’t think I can explain more. All I can think about is the dry details, the information, the things that require logical parsing of what’s going on, because the moment I think about what I feel, I’m both numb AND like I’m about to break. None of it feels real, all while it’s way TOO real.

[ofcacthuxandkylosaur]

Hello hello

EDIT (the 11th of March 2022)

Not sure if anyone remembers me but well I'm still alive!! Still not doing exceedingly good (did a burn out, was diagnosed with GAD, don't remember what's a sleep pattern but I do have medical treatment & medical follow-up so don't worry!!). I realised I was also feeling pressure from this blog for I felt I needed to see all posts, find each AU,... (probably something to do with the fact I never thought that I did enough at my job/life in general) so I took a step back in hopes to alleviate some stress.

In the meantime, I watched the Loki series and started a Lokius blog you can find here in case you're interested (I allowed myself to be more lenient there to try and use tumblr in a safer way for me).

I still wanted to reassure you: in spite of the lack of regular activity here, no, this blog isn't dead and yes, I still love Kylux!!

On a side note, I just realised a lot of AU tag links in my Big Kylux AU List aren't working anymore (I assume it's due to a tumblr update...). While tumblr urls used to assimilate "-" to a blank space (or "%20"), you will now receive an "url not found" message if the url address uses "-" as a blank separator... BUT it will generally (it does for me at least) suggest you an "alternative" address to look at that seems to redirect you to the desired "translated" url.

See, in this exemple, the requested url (...tagged/ancient-rome-au) cannot be found but if you try to click on "#ancient rome au", it will lead you to the following url where content can be found:

I will try to change the tag links in my AU list (and sub-lists) to make things cleaner but it will take time and I am tired so I have no idea as to when that'll be. Hope it will be ok for now!

.

//////////////////// ORIGINAL MESSAGE ///////////////////////

As you might have noticed (or maybe not?), I haven't been very active on tumblr lately! I haven't been feeling that good and my work has been rather demanding so I've basically been relying mostly on my queue - when I've been there at all! I'm sorry for that, especially since I can't say for sure when things will actually calm down. BUT rest assured that I still love Kylux and that I still love AUs (and yes, I still plan on adding to that Big AU List of mine)!!! And it is killing me to know how many wonderful AUs I am currently missing!!!

So my point is:

If you do post or want to highlight any Kylux AU related post, don't hesitate to submit it to me or message me about it (I may need a link to the post if you message me about it). At this point, I don't check my inbox on a regular basis, but I do check it every once in a while, so rest assured, even if I don't send an immediate answer, that your input is appreciated!! Anyway, have a good day and keep being Awesome :)

Dracula Daily Reactions: How does this work?

Documenting my process, for future reference and for an FAQ page I'm working on. ☺️

How are you going about this?

Somewhat laboriously.

I've clicked way, way back in the #dracula and #dracula daily tags, and I look at them side-by-side like so:

I use Xkit Rewritten for Firefox to queue posts rapidly, in order from oldest to newest. Xkit also helps me compare timestamps at a glance, so I can queue earlier posts first.

As I go along, I tag a post with "#tags" if I want to go back later and paste into the reblog any interesting/funny/not-strictly-utilitarian commentary that OP has put in the tags. Later, I go through the queue itself. I add OP's tags to the posts tagged #tags, and add my own classifying tags to as many as I can manage. The Snippets feature in the app Alfred helps me save a lot of time on the classifying tags.

For example, instead of typing "adaptations" and "bram stoker's dracula 1992" into the tags field every time the film is mentioned, I can just type "xbsd" and it'll automatically expand to "adaptations,bram stoker's dracula 1992,". I like to think of it as similar to the shorthand that Jonathan and Mina use. 💁🏻‍♀️

The queue is set to publish the maximum (50 posts per day), but at that rate it'll take quite a while to get through them all. There are more than 1000 relevant posts from May 5 alone! (Anybody know a way to publish 150-200 posts automatically from the queue every day?)

Next up: Ways you can help with the project, if you are so moved!

If you give a damn, I reblogged a post with this like a couple hours ago, but anyways I'm actually so mad about this

Not only am I almost certain there's a built in function to check if a number is even, you could do this on your own in WAY less code

Instead of establishing what EVERY NUMBER PRINTS

you could set up a quick loop to just subtract 2 from the integer 'number' until it's less than or equal to zero. An odd number would go below zero and and even number could stop at zero.

OR EVEN, just set up a check to see if the number ends in an even number. AND YOU DONT EVEN NEED THE ELSE IFS FOR THIS. Set up one if statement kind of like:

if (last number == 0, or 2, or 4, etc.)

WHICH IS FRANKLY STILL AN INEFFICIENT WAY TO DO THIS

AND THEN YOU DONT EVEN NEED AN ELSE STATEMENT. If the initial if can't go through, it DEFAULTS to what's next!!!! Just say 'return false;'

Gold's interesting fact corner:

2009 was a weird year for Rider in general, but it also marked an interesting and lasting change in their advertising and public identity

previously, when romanizing the series'name, Toei would translate it

example:　仮面ライダーヒビキ would be Masked Rider Hibiki

beginning with the second 2009 series, Riders going forward would be romanized as such

仮面ライダーダブル(W) to Kamen Rider Double (W)

what I find most entertaining about this is that they've stayed consistent with it! all series including and before 2009's Masked Rider Decade are still officially advertised as "Masked Rider"

it's best illustrated with Decades you gimmick, the Rider Cards, which initially had one for most riders that predated Decade, but later received an updated expansion with cards for Riders post Decade which reflected the name change

"I think... I'm in love with (Name)" || "Congrats on being the last one to find out" with eddie!

bahaha yes! here you go my love <3

warnings: dumb eddie, proofread once

❀ masterlist ❀

lately, when eddie was bored, he found himself at the video store. keith was never there but robin and steve were so he'd go there and sit on the floor, chilling behind the counter while robin and steve did their work.

"i'm assuming y/n's busy?" steve called from one side of the store where he put up some of the returned films.

"yeah," eddie responded, a curious tilt to his voice in wonder of how he knew that, "why?"

robin snorted out a laugh. "dude, you are always with her and you only seek out your other friends when she has something else going on."

"she's my best friend, bob." if you were here, you'd giggle at the nickname, and eddie's heart would flutter from the sound. "we're going to spend a lot of time together."

"yeah, robin is my best friend too, but the only reason we spend every day together is because we work together," steve responded from across the way.

"and sometimes i call out so i don't have to hang out with him," robin jeered with a smirk thrown in steve's direction. the boy's jaw dropped dramatically before he muttered a small, "ouch."

"well, y/n and i are different. we actually like each other," eddie shared while fiddling with the rings on his fingers.

"don't we know it?" robin spoke in her true sarcastic tone and that combined with steve's laughter had eddie looking up at her from where he sat on the floor to her perched on the chair in front of the computer. there was an underlying hint to her words that eddie wanted to know.

"what do you mean by that?"

"why so defensive about it, munson?" steve inquired with a playfully quirked brow when he came back over to the counter.

"i didn't mean it in a bad way. it's actually cute how much you two like each other." eddie couldn't fight the warmth that swirled within him at robin's words. she thought you guys were cute.

"i do. i like her a lot. i think i- no," he paused, "i won't say that."

but robin was too intrigued now to let it slide. she had turned completely around in her chair and both she and steve had their full attention on eddie.

"no, no, no," she prefaced, "go on."

"i think... i'm in love with y/n," eddie spoke in awe as if this was news to him as much as it was to everyone else. or so he thought.

steve jokingly scoffed, then said, "congrats on being the last one to find out."

"you know?"

"it wasn't like you two tried to hide it," robin added.

"two? as in you think she likes me too?" eddie questioned hopefully. that would make things a lot easier if you felt the same way.

"think?" steve was dumbfounded. he thought it was clear as day that you both were very much into each other. there were several occasions where he thought you two finally gave in, only to find out you guys were still very much friends and very much dumb. "i pretty much know for a fact she does."

"well, damn it, harrington. why did you say anything sooner?" eddie rushed to stand and hopped over the counter quicker than robin or steve could comprehend.

"wait!" robin called, causing the metalhead to turn fast enough to get whiplash, "where are you going?"

eddie flashed them his signature smile. "to go get my girl."

🐚 leaning over to help the other with homework + peter parker (maybe a college au?)

you got it bestie :)

warnings: flustered!college!peter, peter goes dumb at the slimmest sight of boobs

❀ masterlist ❀

"are you getting negative twenty-three? i keep getting negative twenty-three but the website says that's wrong," the curly-haired brunet questioned exasperatedly, very much getting fed up with either his or the website's mistake. it had to be the website though, right? he'd worked out the problem on a couple sheets of paper at least three times and still, he was getting negative twenty-three.

you looked up and pushed aside your laptop where you were doing your own math homework. college-level calculus was no joke, but thankfully, you sat next to peter on the first day, bringing you a new friend to share your confusion and to help each other figure this shit out. it didn't hurt that he was adorable when he was slightly frustrated too.

"let me see," you requested as you reached out for his work. he handed you the two sheets of paper that were littered front and back with his poorly-scribbled calculations. his handwriting was subpar typically, but when he was working out math problems, it was even more difficult to read.

after some time of struggling to interpret his work, you finally got through it. to you, it all appeared to be correct. you put his papers to the side and lifted yourself out of your seat to lean against the table to be closer to peter or more so, his laptop.

you were sitting straight across from him and were now leaning in front of him. you had your weight supported on your left arm, your forearm flat on the tabletop while your right arm stretched out to turn his laptop around, but peter wasn't focused on the math problem anymore. his eyes were on your chest.

you wore a button-up sweater that was a little low cut, but for your modesty and some more warmth, you threw a cami on underneath. your cleavage was covered fairly well by the tanktop when you were sitting up straight, but when you were leaning forward, there wasn't much left to the imagination for peter.

he didn't mean to look down. he would never ever disrespect you in any way. but once his line of sight went south, it was hard for him to pull it up. it was like his eyes were magnetically forced down toward your chest which made it way more difficult to move them away. he was so honed in that he didn't hear you calling him an idiot.

you hadn't noticed where his focus was initially, but when he hadn't commented on your name-calling, you knew something was up when you didn't get a response or even a small pout.

"peter?" you called him by his preferred name and dipped your head down a fuzz to get a better look at him. the way his eyes snapped up to yours and widened in addition to how a rosy pink shade dusted over his cheeks and nose, it all told you what you needed to know and a smirk grew on your lips.

"is something distracting you, peter?" you asked tauntingly, leaning forward even more and bringing in your right arm to push your breasts together to make them even more noticeable. the boy before you visibly gulped and you knew him well enough to know what came next: the nervous rambling.

"wha- no, i- i'm good, never better actually. uh, did you, um, figure out what i d-did wrong?" he stammered, focusing extra hard on maintaining eye contact with you so his eyes wouldn't drift elsewhere.

"for starters, you practically undressed me with your eyes without asking me on a proper date first, but as for the math problem, you forgot that dr. hightower said to make sure you put in the negative sign, not the subtraction symbol because this website won't take that and will mark your answer as incorrect," you explained with a grin, loving to tease him.

"oh."

"yeah," you muttered before sitting back in your seat. you two got back to your work in a comfortable silence that lasted all of maybe thirty seconds before peter spoke again.

"hypothetically speaking," he started, pulling your attention away from your laptop screen, "if i were to ask you on a date, would you say yes?"

your smile returned shortly and you leaned against the table, shifting forward a bit just to tease him. "theoretically, it would depend on what you were thinking of doing on this purely suppositional date."

"i was thinking we could go try that new indian place near campus two buildings down from the coffee bean," peter stated before adding, "strictly notional, of course."

"of course," you agreed before pretending to ponder his 'hypothetical' request, "i'd have to say yes i would think."

"y/n, would you like to go out with me to the new indian place near the coffee bean this friday night?" peter inquired, still visibly nervous but not nearly as bad as before.

"are we still speaking in theory or are you being literal?"

"as literal as i've ever been," he responded, a hopeful grin tugging at his lips.

"then, it's a literal date."

Ok so I've gone through a couple of more pages since yesterday and now the problem is that there's BULKS of missing content from "my works" tag. One fic shows up and the next 10 don't. My mental pain has intensified by x50 because of that because doing this is boring af but there's no other way and I can only blame myself about this so this is me paying the price of being impulsive in 2022.

So, simply said, this is going to take a lot longer than I thought and I was about to swallow a piece that was far too large for me, considering I'd go into it cold turkey. So a little change to the queue schedule:

I will publish one fic every week for an undetermined time. I hope and am aiming to get everything in order and reappear in tags + update my masterlists before London and sometime after me recovering from the shock after coming back, I hope I will be able to start my schedule I promised earlier (2 smaller fics on even weeks, one longer fic on odd weeks).

I'm asking no one will send me disgruntled or pleading messages/asks about this. I know this pace will be slow, but sending me asks/anon messages like "couldn't you post just a little bit faster pleeeeeeaaaaase, your fics are my faves! Please please pretty please? 🥺" only makes me anxious because I can't just whip up 10 new fics in an hour like some people seem to assume, especially not when I ditched fics that are under 500 words. That time when I published every day, most fics were under 100-500 words but I now want to write everything a bit longer.

And yes I'd love to have my whole wip folder queued and publish three times a day permanently with just a snap of my fingers but I'd wear out pretty quick if that was my regular posting pace. YES I KNOW THAT THERE ARE WRITERS WHO REALLY ARE THAT FAST, but I'm not one of them.

Note, the "special week" on the first week of March will still be happening if it's dependant on me, I will post a GV fic once a day for one week. That was also one reason why I had to cancel my initial plans about my new posting schedule because that would have required me to write AT LEAST 23 fics to cover until the end of March + do the massive work with the tagging problem + update the masterlists + preferably cover some time beyond end of March because I'm 97% sure I'll be completely starstruck and dumbfounded after the con and unable to write, possibly beyond the end of March. Now I "only" have to write 13 fics which is manageable. (There will be 19 fics total before end of March, but 6 have been written so far).

But yeah anyway, I really have to stop making rushed decisions and promise to do something grand after 10 minutes from getting that idea 😅 Though to be honest, I originally made that decision because I tried to silence those people begging me to post a little faster than "just" once a week (which is, mind you, still faster than a lot of other writers, no one on my dash consistently posts more than 1 time a week nowadays).

NOTE, if a miracle would happen and I'd manage to write those 23+ fics before 3rd of March, I would return to my original plan but I think it's VERY HIGHLY unlikely and I don't want anyone to count on it. Please don't send me messages like "you can do it, I believe in you, you're amazing, you can write 50 fics in 2 weeks if you just believe in yourself, we are all rooting for you, I know you can do it if you just believe in yourself!", I know you mean good but such asks/messages stress me out. So please don't.

Fixing the tag problem is a mess, but a lot of work has been done! I've managed to return about 20ish fics to the tags by now. I'm currently on page 182 on my blog, and page 30 on my "my works" tag. (Going backwards because it's easier) (I used that tag for yeaaaars and didn't think of using "reader insert" instead. Maybe fixing that too sometime, adding reader insert tag to my old works because most seem to browse through all works by that)

Basically the fix means I have to go through my blog one post at a time and see if it matches the post on the "my works" tag, and then edit the post, remove the tags and tag again, and ensuring the post is fixed/will appear in the my works tag. Not fun, and some posts have already been marked as a problem because they don't appear even when I do this fix, and currently I'm giving them a week to appear but if they don't, then I don't know what to do with them.

I'm just so tired of the "hey I looked through your masterlist and thought you'd like to know, x tag link just brings me an empty page, you probably want to fix it!" messages and I might as well copypaste something like "hi, yes, I'm aware and I'm currently working on a fix, it's just time-consuming because the problem is vast and affects all my tags."

I mean that CONSTANT message is the reason why I kept trying to find a solution and the day I found it felt like Santa came down the chimney early but it's still always as frustrating to receive when I have tried to write it all over the masterlist how I'm aware of the issue.

There may be some changes coming to the masterlist once I get this done btw. I have about 30 pages of fics left to check.

✨the queue✨: a guide

the queue is great! it's helpful if you want to post regularly or if you have lots of posts you want to reblog but don't want to do all at once.

you can queue posts by either a) clicking the reblog button > clicking the arrow next to it once it opens the page where you can add comments > selecting 'add to queue'; or

b) going into settings > clicking on the part that says 'labs' (where tumblr has new features they're working on) > turning on 'fast queue' (this adds a new icon next to the 'reply' and 'reblog' icons where you basically reblog a post but 'add to queue' is the default).

and why would i want to post regularly, you ask? well, the more you post (and the more diverse posts you have), the more likely it is for your posts to reach more people. accurate tags help with this, too. it also helps if you need to post at a consistent schedule for whatever reason, but can't always log on at the same time every day.

if you want to queue your posts at more random times, go into labs and turn on 'queue 2.0'. this enables a more detailed way to schedule your queued posts. i had to play around with it before i found something i liked, and i suggest you do too.

that's it

*screech*

what if, and hear me out, the black family was not french, but japanese? and yes, the original idea started from a wolfstar fic tag on ao3. i forgot which one, sorry.

back to the main point. give me sirius and regulus not speaking french, but japanese. i get that french is a language of love, and all that, but i don't care. give me remus and james falling in lOVe when they hear the black brothers speaking japanese to each other.

please. someone. i'll never get around to doing it myself; do you know how many wips i have in my drafts? (answer: a lot)

writing a new marauders fic where all the marauders in the afterlife react to harry's daily life (not his war stuff but like his cringe everyday stuff)

My #1 post of 2022

okay, but what if peter didn't exist and regulus was in his place and james and remus took sirius and regulus's last name and the marauders were all the blacks and they went to see walburga and were like 'hey mom!' and walburga fucking flips
