I mustn't listen to the voices!!

The voices: "Search for every single FrUK smut fanart and fanfiction"

Warning: yapfest of a crybaby toad along with an appreciation letter under the cut

Okay. So. I actually wrote some sort of uh. Appreciation letter for you guys. I wrote it last night while I was preparing to post my fic... I wanted to post it with the fic, but since the fic is comedic, it wouldn't fit the tone of the fic at all, and when I reread what I wrote in the letter, I realized that it would be a bit embarrassing...

But AGH. BUT TODAY HAPPENED. But then Valen-san came with his fic, and Kiflee-san and Yi Xing-san came with their art. I've been feeling emotional all day because of you guys... SIFJSKFJ I've been trying to hold it back in class, but then I read your comments on my fic, and then I started getting even more emotional.

But it doesn't end there... I finally got to sit down to read Valen-san's fic and got even more emotional while leaving comments on his fic, and then I read Kiflee-san's reply to my comment on her art and it got even worse, and I had to act all casual while eating dinner in front of my family while I was itching to just cry already. And so I finally locked myself in the bathroom and cried like a baby. Because. What the hell. I've never felt this loved my whole life. What. You're all just. Too kind. I can't. Anyway. I escaped the bathroom and saw Yi Xing-san's art and. At that moment, I decided that I wanted to post it despite how cringe it is, because. Well. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I just let today end without me telling you just how much I appreciate you all.

So... Here it is. Warning: it's a bit cringe. </3

Posting this today, on my birthday, feels particularly special. And a little vulnerable, to be honest.

Some of you might not know, but 2025 wasn't the first time Twisted Wonderland crossed my path. I actually stumbled upon the English server when it first released. But for whatever reason, I just couldn't really get into it, despite my initial curiosity.

Then, at the beginning of this year—2025—something just... clicked. I decided to give it another try.

It was the best choice I have ever made in my entire life.

To be completely frank, this year—well, these past few years, really—has not been easy for me. It's only June, only just past the halfway mark, but these past six months... they have held a lot. There have been days, weeks, where my life felt incredibly messy, where getting out of bed felt like a monumental task, where anxiety and worry about a lot of things—about everything—felt overwhelming; consuming. Every day felt like a struggle just to hold things together. Like a constant fight that I just couldn't win, no matter how hard I tried to fight back. It felt as though... I couldn't make it.

And I know that I have it better than most others do... A lot of people in the world are suffering from worse conditions than I could ever imagine. And yet, here I am, whining over something so insignificant. Augh. I'll stop myself right there... Moving on.

Amidst all of that, I found myself diving into Twisted Wonderland, and more specifically, into TreyJade.

I've been in fandoms before. I've enjoyed a lot of ships that some might call rare pairs, and I've spent countless hours scouring for fanfiction of those pairs, often finding little to none. But I have never, not once, felt this kind of pull to write about a ship. Not until TreyJade.

I don't know what it is about them—their chemistry, the comfort they bring, the way they fit together in their own uniquely freaky way—but they didn't just make me want to write. They got me to write. The urge to write about them was so strong that I couldn't fight it.

And I think a huge part of that compulsion, that drive, comes from the incredible community of TreyJade fans out there. The sheer effort and love poured into this ship by everyone... it's overwhelming. Seeing everyone's creations on Tumblr, AO3, Twitter and Pixiv—creations that radiate so much genuine affection and care for Trey and Jade, for this ship—it resonated with me, somehow. It made me feel an overwhelming urge to contribute, to add my own voice, however small.

And now, here I am, posting another fic.

If you couldn't tell, TreyJade is incredibly precious to me. And it's not just about the ship itself, as much as I adore them. It's not just about Trey and Jade as characters, whom I also love dearly and who have provided so much comfort and distraction this year.

It's because of you.

You, my readers and my friends. You, who have been there for me through every step of this journey. You, who have offered your support, your encouragement, your kindness. You, who have kept my love for TreyJade, and my drive to write, going, even when life felt like it was constantly trying to drag me down. You, who have always cheered me on, celebrated little milestones, even during the darkest days.

Every single form of support—they mean the world. To me, they aren't just notifications on a screen. They are bright spots. They always, always make me smile. No—they always get me giggling, kicking my feet like an idiot, wanting to punch holes in the wall from pure, unadulterated joy.

To me, they're reminders that there are people out there who enjoy what I put out, no matter how low quality my writing may be. They're reminders that, perhaps, I could bring just a little bit of joy into other people's days. That perhaps, I could be useful as a person. And I cherish every single one of you, more than words can say.

People often talk about how fanfiction writers bring joy and comfort to their readers, and I hope that's true. But honestly, for me, it's the other way around. You are the ones who have brought me joy. You are the reason I'm still here, still writing, still finding moments of brightness in this little life of mine.

Really... I don't know what I even did to deserve you guys.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading my fics. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for making this the best birthday I could ever ask for. And thank you for being, in your own unique ways, a big part of my world this year.

I love you all, so so much. <3

No. Because I do not like ᴅᴋʙᴋ.

If I sound frustrated in this response, please know that it is because for two and a half years, I ran my meta blog and never received a single question about shipping dynamics. As soon as I specifically named myself as a member of a fixed ktdk/bkdk group, which exclusively releases works with that dynamic, I started getting questions and comments about the opposite dynamic.

My meta analyzes their canon dynamic, which does not go into sexual situations on-screen. I hold myself to high standards of being persuasive and compelling in my writing, and I had no interest in examining the language used in canon to illustrate the complexities of their relationship and then suddenly go "ANYWAY SO THAT'S WHY IZUKU TAKES IT UP THE ASS."

Would that be funny? yeah absolutely. But I wrote my posts to be informative, engaging, and interesting. I wrote them to help people understand more cultural and linguistic nuance in the storytelling and in their characterizations as shown in canon.

As a result, I am not surprised when people do not know my preferences regarding sexual dynamics or assume I might be a switch fan. I intentionally did not get into dynamic discourse for the entire run of my blog because people get really intense about it and take it very personally. It starts fights I have no interest in participating in.

That said, I am a fixed bkdk fan. I always have been. There was a brief period where I tested the ᴅᴋʙᴋ waters out of curiosity, but I discovered I disagreed with the interpretations of their characters, motivations, and desire for each other.

I have no judgment against other people's tastes. I'm happy if people enjoy my work and find it informative regardless of their own preferences. However, I have seen ᴅᴋʙᴋ fans post about my meta and then immediately twist my words and come to conclusions I did not advocate for, and I always found that baffling, but I decided it's not my problem and I can't control how some people simply hear what they want to hear.

If you look at my blog, you will actually see a number of my posts directly contradict interpretations and theories spread by some ᴅᴋʙᴋ fans. ᴅᴋʙᴋ fans were the biggest promoters of the "repressed Izuku/control your heart is about how he needs to accept his feelings for Katsuki" theory, which I criticized and deconstructed from a number of angles.

Another factor is this: ᴅᴋʙᴋ is not really popular in Japan. The exact number varies depending on platform, but at any given time, ᴅᴋʙᴋ content only has roughly 25% of the amount of content bkdk has.

Fanworks on jpn site Pixiv, graphed across the years.

Doujinshi listed for sale on Toranoana. Pairings in order: ʙᴀᴋᴜɢᴏᴜ ᴋᴀᴛsᴜᴋɪ x ᴍɪᴅᴏʀɪʏᴀ ɪᴢᴜᴋᴜ (3,051 doujinshi) ᴛᴏᴅᴏʀᴏᴋɪ sʜᴏᴜᴛᴏ x ʙᴀᴋᴜɢᴏᴜ ᴋᴀᴛsᴜᴋɪ (1,473 doujinshi) ᴛᴏᴅᴏʀᴏᴋɪ sʜᴏᴜᴛᴏ x ᴍɪᴅᴏʀɪʏᴀ ɪᴢᴜᴋᴜ (1,429 doujinshi) ᴍɪᴅᴏʀɪʏᴀ ɪᴢᴜᴋᴜ x ʙᴀᴋᴜɢᴏᴜ ᴋᴀᴛsᴜᴋɪ (1,274 doujinshi)

ᴅᴋʙᴋ doujinshi has a higher ratio than other kinds of fanworks, with 41% of the doujinshi bkdk has. This arguably indicates that ᴅᴋʙᴋ is not popular on a widespread level and instead has a small but loyal fanbase, since doujinshi involve more effort than other kinds of fanworks.

One could argue that ᴅᴋʙᴋ appears more popular, proportionally, in English-speaking fandom than jpn fandom, but no one really knows. Unlike jpn fandom, which is fairly well organized, the numbers for English-speaking fanworks are impossible to glean with any accuracy. Even AO3 tags don't tell the whole story, because not every fanfic on there specifies top and bottom, which jpn fandom never fails to do.

I bring this up because there simply aren't that many ᴅᴋʙᴋ doujinshi, and the number of new releases has dwindled since the series ended. Even if I wanted to translate ᴅᴋʙᴋ doujinshi, I wouldn't have a lot of material to work with. The opposite is true of bkdk doujinshi. We're having a goddamn renaissance over here!

And as I mentioned in my original post about translating bkdk doujinshi, in Japanese fandom, the separate spaces for fans of different dynamics is strongly enforced. A fan of one dynamic may have "landmines," which refers to things they never want to see or engage with in fandom. When you force someone to see or interact with content of the opposite dynamic they have expressed alignment with, you are being disrespectful of that person and the fandom space itself.

Every single one of my posts is tagged with bkdk, not ᴅᴋʙᴋ and not both tags. My bio says "bkdk triumphs." My sexy fanfic wips are top-Katsuki. My fanart is top-Katsuki.

I do understand if, up until my post about translating bkdk doujinshi, you did not notice the signs that indicated my preferences. English-speaking fandom is a mess and has no real respect for structure. People misunderstand tags and terms and misapply them all the time.

But both of these comments have come as a direct result of me specifying my preference, and it is impossible to read that as anything other than disrespect.

I apologize sincerely to anybody who's just chilling here. Please don't take this as an insult to you or your preferences. Again, I am happy people enjoy my work regardless of their taste in sexy fanworks.

It is worth noting that neither of the users who asked these questions follow me, and their blogs are empty, which I find pretty bizarre and don't know how to interpret. Perhaps it's just a couple people trying to circumvent my no-anon-asks policy. Who knows.

Anyway, please stop asking me about ᴅᴋʙᴋ.

Are you ready for our annual Chestnutfest?!

Posted a month in advance, I hope that's enough time for you lovelies to whip up something sweet to celebrate our favourite DBZ OTP♥ Please click Read More to view this year's details!

Happy creating everyone! And pls do share the post around!♥

As always, here are some guidelines.

Starting the 12th of September, upload your submission for the day's theme, note that 9/18 is a free space but you can also use the theme Indirect kiss for that day, and tag me so I can re-blog your marvelous creations! Please use the following tags in the first 5 tags of your post so I can see them in my tracked tags. They are the blog tag Chestnutisland and this years specific tag Chestnutfest2k24. You can also Mention me as @ chestnutisland (without the space) and I will get a notification.

Preferably upload the theme for each day on the actual day but if you can't or rather upload them all at the same time for example, or maybe can't finish on time for one of the days, or just want to participate for one or a few days, that's fine too. As long as you use the tag system I will see it.

Of course, this is Tumblr we're talking about so if for some reason I don't see your work, please send me a DM.

Of course, you are also welcome to use the submit post button to directly submit to me!

Any medium is allowed, art, fics, AMV's,moodboards, playlists, anything you can come up with.

Any rating is allowed, however for NSF(W)T works, please censor your work and use a link to a different website to view uncensored. Please use a Read More as well as a community label and tag appropriately. In example, Ao3 and Pixiv both allow these kinds of works.

No works that break up K18, please. And Absolutely No NTR or ANYTHING of that nature. I will not share it and I will instantly and permanently block you if you submit it.

Please use Tumblr's link feature for off-site fics like on AO3 or FF.net, use a read more if you post fiction directly to Tumblr, that way we don't clog up everybody's dashboards.

Other characters are allowed in your works, of course, hey the more the merrier right? But do make sure K18 is the main focus, please.

The exceptions to the above rule are submissions for 9/17. I decided to dedicate one day of the fest to Android 17 and/or Marron. You can focus on one of them for that day or both, as long as one of them is the focus it's totally cool. Oh and just in case and to be crystal clear because it is out there...**Do not submit Mar17 works, I do not condone those sorts of works for these two characters together!** Ship art of either of them with different characters is allowed as long as it is appropriate. For example, MarTen or 17xOC is fine.

As always, if you have any questions, just send an ask or DM my way, and I'll happily answer any you may have!

This post will be queued a few more times before the start of the fest.

Marchil March 2025 retrospective 🎊

It's been a week since Marchil March ended! The marchil union has worked hard!! 🎉🎉🎉 So much was created for the occasion through the month, the event was once again a joyous success, and even now that March is over, all the art and good times will remain! I'm so happy that all of us are in the community, english speakers or not, and like last year I want to take the time to pat ourselves on the back and remind ourselves of what we've achieved through this whole 1/12th of a yer! Loving the memories we've made after its time has passed is a very marchil thing, after all :)

So, like last year, here are the event statistics! The marchil stonks graphs, if you will. Many people made marchil fanart that wasn't for the prompt event though, so I'm only counting works that both fit a prompt and seemed to be consciously participating in the event. Fanfic wise, I'm also counting every separate day as a different participation no matter if it was chapters in the same one work. Since we're giving the week special emphasis, I'll also list separate statistics for it!

All in all, the statistics of the works made for the event is as such: 

Week:

Total participants: 10 Total works: 32 Fanfics: 18 Fanarts: 14

Month:

Total participants: 15 Total works: 81 Fanfics: 45 Fanarts: 36

You can browse the works with the tag! There were also pieces exclusive to Twitter here, and Pixiv here, or if you prefer browsing fics on ao3 here's the collection! If you're still starved, look around and hunt your meal down, like I said there was plenty of marchil content made in march that wasn't participating hehe~ There are always more than you think out there.

We almost made three times the amount of days in the month! If there's something marchil shippers is good at, it's showing how much a small community can, with consistent, individual, small but regular work, come together and end up amounting to a lot!! We're here, we're creating, always more of us than we assume, and we're happy and thriving! Marchil endures!

Thank you to everyone who joined, and everyone who encouraged and supported those who did! Marchil is in good hands! I'll surely come back to these to taste all of you guys' cooking again, for many days to come

[chanif-art]

GIRLLLL about the last anon, literally ignore those losers, fujoshis always act mad when there's a reader insert LMAO because it's either mlm or no in-between,

it's new players seeing fanservice and coming to ogle at characters, shippers are literally insane,

Just see the crazies in reddit leaks sub and another nsfw sub losing their minds over castorice x tb (the mc which is basically a reader insert), while praising m*dei x phai or anaxa, and bullying the castorice pullers saying it's goon bait, while mydei naked ass isn't?!

yuri ships are chill ❤️ I always read gn things and don't mind, but those fujoshis have extreme internalized misogyny that everything that isn't two males or hints at a gn/they/woman makes them lose their minds,

it's literally the most insecure shit ever? like hating yourself so much you can only imagine the character you love with another character and not yourself? LMAO,

also ****toxic ass anon****, go back to shipping like a cuck, while we enjoy the men with US real people 🥰😻 since the shippers ALWAYS hate reader inserts and yumejoshis, go to pixiv and see how much yume art is there! us girls/gns/boys are thriving!!!

ao3 is full of ship fanfics, while Tumblr HAS ALWAYS been for y/n/reader, so this isn't your place, toxic anon

shippers are 70% vulgar gooners, (sometimes i see ship art too), so reader/mc insert is not gooning, because they're also gooning to two people???

DON'T BE AFRAID of backlash from haters who are ALWAYS gonna hate, and post this so that person's self-loathing f*ujo knows we don't care about shipping, I'm playing a game and that character is my HOE! my husband! because guess what? I'm REAL and can imagine, and that stupid ship isn't, Tumblr has always been for reader inserts

anyways, I LOVE!!!! your art!!!!! I follow @meo-eiru and @yandere-romanticaa.tumblr.com and many artists who draw reader inserts for original characters or write, just look at the Dol Fandom lol, or twisted wonderland,

chanif, keep doing you! there are SO MANY CN/JP/EN doing the same thing! I'm so glad you've came back from hiatus 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💋 you're LOVED!!!! and like the many artists, writers, are enjoying yourself and making followers HAPPY!!! unlike those miserable people, just don't engage with those psychos, okay? have a good day ❤️🥰

and ALWAYS know that a ship is temporary/not canon, but you as the real person/writer/artist are eternal,

you're the one who decides,

can't wait till cyrene comes and we get into a poly with both phainon and her 😻😻😭😭🥰❤️❤️❤️ let them haters seeethe!!!!

ALSO Archer and Saber from fate are gonna be soooo focused on mc because servants etc, can't wait for the reader inserts there 🥰😻😻✨❤️ I love my harem 😻💋💋🥰🥰😁❤️

Thanks for all the love! ❤️🙌 GURL don't worry! I'm here to draw yandere AND self-insert, x reader. kinda find it funny tho cus this is the 2nd time my of “insult-ish” in the Hoyoverse fandom. but thanks for sticking around! 💋💖

[nooneandeveryone]

Gonna get a little sappy for a sec. Okay?

Eleven freaking years ago I stumbled into the Collector movies. And was like... yes, I now ship that. scratches all my specific itches. So 2013 me looked to see if there was any fic or art. There was some. iirc there was like 3 or 4 fics on AO3. The only art I found was on pixiv, a lot of cute little doodles by the japanese slasher fandom. I treasure them to this day.

Now, I was going through some Things in 2013 so hell yeah escapism. I did some art. I did some fic. Mostly because teeny tiny fandom of like five people. I, uh, came up with the collectkin ship name... because I wanted something unique people could blacklist if they hated it. Yes, that's seriously why.

But my point is, this fandom started with so little and I've gotten to see it expand. Yeah a lot of people have come and gone but they've left troves of art, fic and rp in their wake.

It's everything I hoped I'd find back in 2013. Sure it took a while but it's here now. ❤

[deepdarkhwsconfessions]

i really love gerita in that order (nsft-wise). not really a deep dark secret or anything, and the reverse order is also very valid, i just like this order so much i felt like saying it here in this inbox uvuvuvuvuvuvuv i've found horny dynamics are signficantly more difficult to mute/sort separately in tumblr, so i'm usually camping on jp twitter instead

it's one of those cases where only in my head can i imagine this ship switching it up occasionally (i do highly believe they would at least experiment and not stick to one thing all the time), yet am not nearly as down with seeing existing material of the reverse dynamic in a very 'this isn't how i see them' kind of way. my way or the high way, i guess.

---

in terms of headcanons,,, can i talk headcanons? i've got a few specific headcanons i like to run with for italy veneziano when it comes to gerita;

1. veneziano has moved on from holy roman empire's death a long while back, but tried to suppress his memory for a very long time in grief - and now, even though hre was so important to him, veneziano can't remember his face. this fills him with regret.

(this was inspired by ao3 fanfics, pixiv fanfics and a very specific doujin where feli literally dumped his memories into the venetian sea because he would keep waiting for hre otherwise)

2) so in the case of hre = germany situations, veneziano legitimately doesn't have a clue about germany's visual similarities to hre. i don't remember seeing any indication that veneziano personally associates germany with hre in canon, and have actually become slightly resentful when i see people declare it as the reason for vene liking germany. for me, veneziano's current relationship with germany starts from the guy that found him hiding in a crate pretending to be a tomato fairy, and grew fond of him through their experiences after that.

(i believe in the theory, but in the situation where they were two different people after all i would honestly pick gerita over hre/chibitalia ngl,,,)

3) hre's death absolutely had an effect on veneziano, though. namely, he became a lot more clingy to the people he loves. he learned his lesson the first time.

(so not completely moved on regarding grief and trauma response)

---

i have so many other thoughts, but like. i can post it on my own account eventually. i'm just taking the opportunity to spew out some very specific ideas that serve as my mental baseline when i think about gerita

thank you for providing this inbox for me to fill with my trash :3 my appreciation is immeasurable

Summary: After a year of being away on a business trip, Kratos finally returns home.

Author's Note: I was going to post this one for Good Couple Day, too, but it wasn't finished yet so here it is a couple days later. This one is a sequel to ‘An Ocean Apart’, and is written for October's Pixiv Novel contest. The theme of the contest is “The One Who Came Back”, so I felt it was a good time to write a sequel.

“Have a good night, Kratos!” Martel called out as Kratos exited her small SUV with his briefcase in hand. “It was fun catching up. Say Hi to Anna again for me, okay?”

“Same to you, Martel.” Kratos remarked after opening the passenger side door to the back seat to retrieve his suitcases. “And don’t worry, I will.

“Oh, and does she know you’re coming home tonight?” Martel quickly asked her friend before he could shut the door.

“No, I told her on the phone earlier before my flight to Triet that I wouldn’t be home until Saturday.” Kratos replied, giving his friend a slightly amused smile.

“Ah, then I’m sure she’s going to be pleasantly surprised to find you home a day early.” Martel smiled at Kratos.

Kratos nodded in agreement with her. “I better let you go now, Martel. Thanks again for the ride home from the airport.”

“All right, no problem, Kratos!” Martel waved after putting her car in drive again. “Take care! And I’ll tell Yuan you arrived home safely. We’ll also have to organize a double date with you and Anna sometime. Anyway, take care again, Kratos!”

Kratos shut the back seat door and waved goodbye to his friend as she pulled away from the front of his driveway and drove off. He then turned and carried his briefcase while wheeling both his large and small suitcases in his other hand towards the front door of his house. After taking his phone out of his front pocket for a moment to quietly unlock the door, he carried all three pieces of his luggage through the door and into the dark foyer.

He then locked the door and turned on the lights in the foyer with his phone. After taking off his shoes, he carried his luggage into the darkened living room, and set all three pieces down next to the couch. Kratos retrieved his pajamas from one of his suitcases before heading upstairs to get ready for bed in the guest bathroom. Once he was finished getting ready for bed, he exited the bathroom and glanced over at the closed master bedroom door across the hall. Anna was probably sound asleep by now, and his plan had been to sleep on the couch tonight so he wouldn’t disturb her. A sudden idea came to him, though it would ruin the whole surprise of his homecoming, but he decided to go through with the idea anyway as he quietly walked towards his office down the hallway from the guest bathroom.

After finding a pen and some loose, blank sheets of what appeared to be printer paper on his desk, he hurriedly scrawled a note to his wife on one of the sheets of paper. He then took the note, exited his office, made his way back down the hallway, and slipped the note under their bedroom door. Kratos smiled to himself as he quickly retrieved an extra pillow and blanket from the upstairs hall closet before heading back downstairs and into the living room. Once he was back in the living room, he checked his phone, which he had set down on the coffee table, for the current time.

It was almost two in the morning, and he knew his wife usually set her alarm on her phone for nine on her days off from work. He figured he wouldn’t be awake by the time she woke up in the morning, so she would probably have to wake him up after reading the note he just slipped under their bedroom door. Kratos let out a yawn and set the alarm on his phone for ten thirty, then set the extra pillow down by the arm rest he placed his suitcases next to. He then laid down on the couch and pillow, pulled the blanket up over himself and quickly drifted off to sleep. He was absolutely exhausted, not just from the flight and subsequent ride home, but also from nearly a year of being away from home.

___________

Anna’s alarm on her phone went off at nine later that morning. She turned it off and let out a sigh before getting out of bed. Only one more day, she thought as she made her way over to their dresser to pick out what she wanted to wear for the day. Then Kratos will finally come home, she thought after picking out what she wanted to wear. Anna then started to walk over to their shared closet beside the door, but came to a halt when she heard something move underneath her feet. She looked down and immediately noticed she had stepped on a piece of paper. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she reached down and picked up the paper, momentarily trying to recall if it had been there last night before she went to bed. The note read:

Tadaima, Anna… That first word means “I’m home” in the village of Mizuho. It’s a word I learned while on my business trip this past year. I wanted to use it to let you know that I’m home, my dear, which is why I’m writing this note to you. Martel dropped me off at around one this morning. I’m going to sleep on the couch tonight so I don’t wake you, and I will likely still be asleep when you wake up in the morning. You may wake me up if you wish to then. Again, tadaima, my dear, and I love you. -Kratos

Anna gasped and dropped the pile of clothes she was holding that she was going to wear for the day. With her husband’s note still firmly in her hand, she frantically opened the door, and all but ran out of the bedroom, her heart pounding with a mix of elation and anticipation in her chest as she ran down the hall and down the stairs into the living room. Fortunately for her, Kratos was already awake, having woken up well before his alarm. He was standing between the coffee table and the couch in a nightshirt and sweatpants that he typically wore as his pajamas. His body turned towards hers as she came to a halt by his suitcases. Her eyes began to well with tears as she looked up at him, the note he had written to her several hours earlier falling to the floor as she let go of it.

“Kratos… It’s really you… You’re home!” Anna cried as she closed the remaining distance between them and threw her arms around his neck. He lovingly embraced her as she began to weep quietly in the crook of his neck.

“This isn’t a dream, is it?” She sobbed while letting a hand run through his spiky hair.

“No, my dear, it isn’t. This is real. I’m home now.” Kratos stated soothingly, his hands gently rubbing her back.

“I missed you so, so much, Kratos, and I’m so, so happy that you’re finally home, honey!” Anna wept into his nightshirt and chest.

He let her cry into his shirt for as long as she needed to, and continued to rub her back soothingly. His lips found the top of her head as she held onto his shirt tightly. Once she stopped crying, she pulled back and looked up at her husband, who immediately and gently cupped her face with both hands and wiped away the last of her tears with his thumbs.

“I missed you too, Anna. It’s good to finally be home…” Kratos smiled softly and leaned down until his forehead touched hers.

She wrapped her arms around his neck again, this time loosely, and gave him an expectant look. Without a second thought he kissed her, their first kiss in nearly a year. He briefly recalled the last time he kissed her, which was at the airport in Triet before his flight to Palmacosta.

“I love you, honey…” Anna sighed contentedly when they parted a short time later.

“I love you too, my dear…” Kratos murmured and gave her a gentle smile.

He kissed her again, then wrapped his arms around her and embraced her once again. She returned his embrace, and the couple held each other in comfortable silence for a short while.

“Oh, I have some gifts for you, my dear. Do you want me to give them to you now?” Kratos asked after softly kissing her temple. “They’re in my large suitcase.”

The couple released each other and Anna looked up at her husband and gave him a soft, sincere smile. “Thank you, honey, but let’s wait until after I make us breakfast. I’m sure you’re quite hungry. You probably haven’t eaten anything since last night, I bet.”

He chuckled softly, “Yeah, you’re right, my dear.”

“Then I’ll go make something special for us right now, honey!” Anna declared, now grinning up at him. “I’m so, so glad that you’re finally home again, Kratos.”

The couple shared another kiss before they parted, and Anna headed off towards the kitchen to make breakfast. In the meantime, Kratos grabbed his large suitcase and set it down on the couch. He then took out all of the gifts, which took up over half of the suitcase, and were neatly wrapped in gift bags of various sizes, for his wife, and set them all down on the coffee table next to his phone. Kratos then glanced toward the kitchen and smiled to himself.

Tadaima. It’s good to be home.

Love your art, they way you draw characters is 👌👌👌. Do you ever get inspired by movies or fics? Do you have any lawbepo fic recs? How do you come up with scenes? I'm super curious

Thank you so much! No recs, only good lawbepo fics that exist are all on pixiv i read them with machine translation (its a little awkward and not for everybody cuz you gotta assume a lot of meaning that gets lost in tl) there is only one good fic on ao3 and its in russian lol https://archiveofourown.org/works/53837386 but at least if you wanna read it rus to eng translation doesnt lose nearly as much meaning as jpn to eng does so you should check it out

i come up with scenes typically through either just my own brainstorming like i just lay in bed before sleep and come up with jokes instead of sleeping LOL or get inspired by random shit i see on twit (also very much true for porn i get inspo from ecchi/hentai artists i follow for inspo) Sometimes they come through talking to other people like i would expand on a thought in conversation and have a sudden lightbulb moment

sometimes i get anons on here that help <3<3 they may ask me something and i come up with idea while i think of the answer

its very much you get ideas by thinking about them as backwards as it sounds, "learn by doing"? but instead of learn its "come up with more things by thinking about things"

with ideas it's all about expanding and fleshing out - like i would have "i want to draw more of bepo smushing his face against law" - i think "where" like what setting - canon compliant or my hospital au or op academy - all these add their own flavor

this is how train of thought goes and sometimes it may lead to a joke (like the ones where the punchline is penshachi being like jfc you two - or judging law or bepo's perversions heavily) and so on

if its a singular illustration i still try to make it somewhat fun and still think of those things even if the final result may be basic - thinking things through still adds flavor and helps me to visualize it

Hi :)

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

Questions:

About me ★ :

I mostly go by Tam or Rua but I also go by a LOT of other nicknames! (Tamarua, Tamari, Tama, Tamachi, Ruma, Tammy, Tamithy, etc... I'm on par with Mr Jalapeño fr 😼) I'm a digital & traditional artist and I mostly draw my OCs or characters I like!

Currently obsessing over the classical era, medieval and renaissance ‼️(I really like this emoji don't come for me)

I'm in A LOT of fandoms (LMK, JTTW, The Great Comet, Blood Meridian, Greek Myth, EPIC, Hamilton...). This blog respects and supports the LGBT+ community (WHERE ALL MY ACE BUDDIES AT??)

Preferred pronouns are She/Her but I also go by They/Them. I'd say I don't usually get mad, and my humor is very... Uh, what's the word? Questionable? Yea, very questionable- I speak English and Croatian (🇭🇷)!

What art program do I use? ⁠★ :

I use Clip Studio Paint and Ibis Paint (If you want to know what brushes I use feel free to ask!)

Rules? ⁠★ :

If you don't follow these I'm just going to block you :D

What is this blog mostly about? ⁠★ :

OCs!! Well, I mostly use it to talk about my JTTW/LMK OC Zhaoyan (or just Zhao).

Zhao is a Celestial Witch who was brought along to the journey (against her will) as a healer for Tripitaka. Basically, she has the power to heal any wound, illness, disease etc. And general sorcery.

Besides that it's just whatever this stupif mind of mine is currently hyperfixating on

Notes on your OC's story? ⁠★ :

For now my tumblr blog is the only place where you can find out about her.

I do 100% plan to write an AO3 fanfic regards her one day (because she honestly has so much lore that isn't even jttw/lmk related). But not any time soon, I'm very busy with school and I still have to work her whole character out before I start writing. When I do publish the story I'll announce it here :D

Is this blog R18?⁠ ★ :

Not really, I'd say more 13-14+

State of Ms. Rikka Z's Garden Address

I'm quickly writing this out so my followers know what's coming in the future with the partnership announcement.

As of right now, I plan on posting the remaining chapters of GranEssex Chronicles that I haven't posted here, but all future chapters will likely be posted only on Fanfiction.net or on AO3 unless stated otherwise. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I will continue posting art on here, but all of it will be Glazed and Nightshaded. I have already opted out on the AI scraping and I feel that if I can survive it on Twitter, I can survive it on here. Especially since there are better people on here than Twitter. I will likely post the originals on Discord, Pixiv, or Bluesky.

I am still taking comms, but it might take a bit until I start due to being drained rn.

METACCINE WEEK IS STILL HAPPENING IN MAY. I am not letting this news put a damper on one of the things that made me so happy. I will be hosting it on both Tumblr and will make a Bluesky feed dedicated to it. If you are on any other SM site, feel free to participate, too! Just link back to any of my socials!

SD Gundam threads will be coming back when I have more motivation to do them again.

Work on the Dream Buffet Kirby Light Novel will start when I read more of Linebarrels of Iron.

I hope you all have a good rest of your evening. Please remember to drink water and hug your pets.

✨obligatory pinned post✨🥰🥰🥰

Hiiiii 💖 I'm just your average anime fangirlie that likes Demon Slayer a healthy amount!!!! *hides my comically large KibuTan collections* -- currently into Black Butler

✨I am also an artist!!!! At least I try to be. I hope to one day make it into a career because... LOOK, IF I COULD MAKE SEXUALIZING ANIME CHARACTERS MY FULLTIME JOB, YOU BET I'D NEVER CALL IN SICK!

My commissions are open by the way teehee 😇🤭

please DM if interested

✨But okay, enough of the silly. My name is Safa, I am 20+ years old and my pronouns are she/her.

✨I am trying to KEEP having an account here without deleting it this time--- because I do tend to have a habit of going on social media, completely nuking my account and then coming back skjghskjgshjk HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN THIS TIME!

❗If it does though, I've compiled a list here of other sites that I AM on.❗

Anyway, for more ... ✨exclusive✨ artwork, you can support me on Patreon, that's where I throw in my uncensored art as well as content that I don't post anywhere else, not even on Discord: patreon.com/IraqiMenace

If you wish to support me financially but would rather do so on Patreon for whatever reason, here's my Ko-Fi (I also have a shop on there): https://ko-fi.com/iraqi_menace

Now that I have mentioned my Discord, here's a link to that server. Keep in mind that it's STRICTLY 18+, however (but tbh, so is this account, so if you are under 18, what are you doing here?): https://discord.gg/2ncTVeWAhn

For sites where you can view my non-paywalled art properly, here's my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iraqi.menace/ on which I also post selfies and other random shit sometimes.

And here's my Pixiv, where I am more inclined to post logs (which is why my upload schedule there is all over the place): https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/86678266

I am also trying to write more fanfic this year so here's my AO3 if you're interested in that: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Iraqi_Menace

I also stream on Twitch, trying to get affiliate on there so if you can give me a follow that would be appreciated: https://www.twitch.tv/iraqiimenace

honestly I might as well throw my YouTube channel in this post as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5o1ZccF6eJfN0ipbGhWGLg

Anyway, that was this post. I hope I managed to make it as aesthetic as I could ✨💞

My Current Plan For My Tumblr

Since my followers rn are almost predominately my mutuals - I’m sure you’ve all been wondering what exactly my plan is right now

I did send a support ticket in to get my blog back, as well as contacted tumblr_acct_help on Reddit - the account you contact if your tumblr account is unfairly terminated. This was the response:

I also heard from quite a few mutuals that our DMs have vanished entirely - which is something I’ve never seen before and is, frankly, not that reassuring.

I’m still holding out hope, as I tend to do, that all things will work out in the end - whether that means I get my account back or not.

So what’re my plans for this account?

Well. It’s gonna disappoint quite a few of yall I think but I have no intention of creating very much content on this account anymore. Writing, art, etc. If I get back into drawing and writing - it will not be posted here. I’ll probably make a side blog for regular reblogs - this will still be an NSFW account - but it will take on a more personal aspect. I don’t plan on putting much content here, but I also don’t plan on leaving. I do still love all my friends here and would like to stay and support yall until this ship sinks lol

However, I have learned some things about tumblr that I find troubling and I can no longer, in good conscience, continue to promote my own content on here.

As some of you know before my account was terminated I had subscriptions and badges going - I loved tumblr so of course I wanted to support it. Unfortunately after reviewing their terms of services I have become aware of the fact that anything you purchase on tumblr is non refundable, even if your account is terminated.

In fact, tumblr is allowed to terminate your account at will - with or without a reason.

After reviewing their community guidelines as well, I have come to the conclusion that tumblrs “harm to minors” policy is a violation of first amendment rights in the United States.

According to Ashcroft v Free Speech Coalition (2002) - writing and drawings of minors do NOT facilitate or promote sexual abuse, are not illegal, and are protected under your first amendment right to free speech.

So where can you find my content?

On Ao3, mostly! However I do intend to start making use of my baraag account, as well as possibly setting up an account on Pixiv! <3

You can also find my content and more of me, in general, in my mutual discord server!! If you would like to be part of it please hmu in DMs and we can exchange discords. It is still very much a WIP, and I would like to extend a gracious thank you to @nightlist for their assistance in getting it set up, but I do intend to start sending out more invites at some point and getting it more fleshed out as well.

Pinned welcome post 📌

Hello, hello 💚💚💚 Welcome to the chaos that is my main 🙃 Time for a new pinned post.

I'm oneinist (they/them), and you can find me on Discord, Ao3, Pixiv and Twitter under the same ID (mostly viewing on the latter two). Come say hi if you like~

I love Naruto. I am forever going to ship KakaIru. I love the two on their own as well - and from time to time, I branch out into multi-shipping 👀

On this main, I reblog, interact, and play ask games (LOVE THEM!!) on different topics, but ofc Naruto, KKIR, fandom and fannish stuff take up the majority.

Asks are OPEN - nothing is too silly and here is some inspiration.

From 2023 you can find all my art and stories over at my side blog, oneinist's works (I just love that grid view...) where requests are open too. Please check out the pinned post first 😘. I love to collect resources, and I try to tag them so I can go back, why not look through them below? I also reblog any Naruto or multifandom event I come across, but I gotten to organizing tags for that (I probably should).

Art resources Writing resources

I'm a mod over at the Kakairu.Rocks forum where we run events throught the year and hang out. I'm also part of a collective of kkir mods who have run the Kakairu Reverse Bang 2022 and Kakairu Big Bagn 2024.

Come check us out and spread the KakaIru looove~~~
