Wait hang on I have a stupid obscure hang up about Darksiders 2.

Strife a few realms away, sensing Death calling his revolver a pistol:

Once again, happy birthday to our wonderful-est pink pyramid, Tribot!!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful April Fools Day! I know I've been gone a while (again), but I'm ready to announce some changes to Ask Cueball...

I've decided the direction we're taking is changing a bit. So I'm excited to reveal these sneak-peaks of redesigns for the upcoming-and-definitely-real Mecha Arc! All I'll show for now is the head designs, but I hope this excites you for what's definitely, actually, totally gonna happen..!

(If it wasn't clear, this is another April Fools bit, haha! These designs are indeed for something of mine, but not Ask Cueball...)

The Fluffstiel Bang 2024

Extra Extra! Read all about it! The first annual Fluffstiel Bang will open within the next couple of weeks!

What is fluffstiel you may ask? Destiel fluff! What's a bang you also may ask? I mean, this must be your first time in a fandom space on the Internet, so... ask a friend. I don't have that kind of time.

The Fluffstiel Bang is a mini-bang challenge that is, you guessed it, predominantly fluff. It can be canon, AU, whatever the heck you want, but it has to be fluffy, and Destielly. Authors will have a minimum word count of 5,000. Artists will create one piece of original artwork and one banner inspired by the fic they are paired with.

Author and Artist Sign-Ups open August 1st!

You can read the official rules, guidelines, and schedule here!

MASC SPIDERMAN RHAENYRA !!! Sketches to try and figure out what I want her suit to look like but it's taking shape slowly

[I.D. Rhaenyra as a Spider-Man AU. The drawing on the right depicts Rhaenyra looking ahead, dressed in a red and black Spider-Man suit featuring a spider emblem on the chest. She stands with one hand on her hip and the other down her body, holding her mask. She has short, slightly wavy hair. On the left, she's crouched, still in her suit, holding the mask in her hands that are in front of her. Her hair is shorter with a light taper. A sketchier background figure, dressed in a tank top and pajama pants with Spiderman mask patterns, and drinking from a cup. It's all set against a light blue background. END I.D.]

sometimes you just gotta go back to OCs (and pokemon)

he would be an electric type gym leader, but he uses cubone as a ground while he's working on machines and motherboards to protect himself and his equipment

I have to color him or label him because if he ain’t colored he’s indistinguishable from orbot

Welcome back, after such a long hiatus, to Ask Cueball: Arc 2!!

As you can see, I decided to return to Tumblr! I am also going to set up a Cohost and possibly a Pillowfort for the comic as well - however they aren't up quite yet, as I'm actually away from home on a large trip and will be until the end of the month. Normally I would wait until things are less hectic to post, especially since I haven't decided on a new schedule (I work Saturdays now, so it's not a feasible schedule anymore), but today is also the 4th anniversary of Ask Cueball, and I felt there would be no better time than now to bring us back! It's been in the works for a long time, so I hope you enjoy what I have in store.

And, HAPPY 4 YEARS!!

(P.S. - the Discord server is now open to the public again! The old link should still work, and I'll have a pinned post up by tomorrow that will have the link as well. Feel free to stop in!)

guys?

i’m cooking.

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why don’t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?

not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.

i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.

which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.

and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.

i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!
