#Thank you for sending them!

[kithtaehyung]

Happy birthday! I hope you have an amazing 👏 🤩 day!

AHHHH thank you very much, babe! I’m glad to see your thoughts in the inbox as you go through your 3tan reread🥹🤍 I’ll respond to them in due time!🍊

(Same anon who asked about whether Wukong and Macaque knew about MK having gone to the Celestial Realm) Ahhh ok got it, thank you for answering my question! Also I know this isn’t necessarily what was actually happening but the image of Shadowpeach forbidding MK from going there and MK considering telling them but then going “y’know what? we don’t have time to unpack all that rn” is a little funny in my head. I guess it’s just karma for all the things they’ve kept from him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Jk jk

No, that's actually pretty accurate! MK knows he needs to tell them eventually, but he made the decision not to at the moment. There is a little bit of karma there, for sure.

Also, I love how people just use shadowpeach, not only as a ship name, but as a combined...name form for both wukong and macaque so they don't have to spell out their names, that's cute.

Like, shadowpeach went to the store, or whatever..🥹 why is that precious to me

Okay! Thorn!

How would you describe him in five words?

For someone who doesn’t know him at all, where is his personality best shown?

What do you think his favorite vacation spot would be, and what would he do?

Five words go:

Perceptive

Brave

Determined

Nurturing

Talented

I think his personality is best shown when he’s taking care of his brothers, especially if there’s an opportunity for him to try and cheer them up. There’s no lengths he won’t go to to make sure they’re alright. He teases them, as to be expected, but he loves them dearly. He truly feels he is his brothers’ keeper 🥺

He’d love Italy, and he would spend the trip eating everything he could find (his fave dish would be cacio e pepe), and looking at sculptures. He is so impressed/fascinated by that particular medium.

One of the things I love about Marika is how complex she is

We literally have no idea who she is and the speculations are varied and numerous

She is like one of the most influential and crucial characters in the Elden Ring lore-wise

We know a lot of what they say about her in-game but we don't even get a bit of her dialogue or her voice

I mean I heard someone call her "a evil bitch queen" which is pretty valid considering what she went through and how she may act. Honestly what Elden Ring taught me is that Everything isn't what it seems

We see characters with deep depths like Mohg, Morgott, Godrick etc. They're vile yes but also pitiful,they don't deserve what they went through. It gives me the impression that everyone in this game has multiple different aspects,not on what they show us on the surface level

Fucking GO OFF!

Fromsoft is filled with plenty of complicated, idealistic, often cruel "founder" figures; think Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, Laurence the First Vicar, ect. and while Marika has enacted serious harm both personal (abandoning her Omen sons) and widescale (Just. So. Much. of the Golden Order.), people are far more critical of her than they are of her male peers.

On one hand, there's so much fun in how obscure she is; how influential yet elusive the fine details of her are; on the other hand... Man, I wished she'd had more time in the limelight as herself. Even your fight with her is really with Radagon, and it's mega-complicated as to how much he is her; the game ends with you fighting the force puppeting her, heavily implied to be against her will.

Regarding your last paragraph, god, that really is the joy of these games, isn't it? --They're such raw, messy people, and we don't get a whole lot on them, but what we do get is telling. There are so many ways to look at these characters, and that's incredible.

Wish people would also extend this to her; Marika.

7 & 17 for the weird asks! ♥️

7., what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

The manta ray!! They just fun and cute.

17. an anxious compulsion you do everyday?

I don't think I have one of those? Or if I do I didn't notice. I do crack my bones a lot tho out of habit, people usually don't really like the sound of it - 🧍

For the moodboard asks: 💗 for Theo & Cassie, please?

💗 for a moodboard about another significant relationship in my muse’s life

Cassie_ let's talk about how much I love that Cassie's uncledad is a plant dad we love Neville in this house.

Theo_ Theo may hate her mother but she was stil shaped by her in ways she even doesn't realize.

that makes so much sense actually. i also am making some aus (unrelated) and am wanting to seperate them into little ficlets/art pieces/comics of the pieces that motivate me before even touching on an overarching story but also god is it difficult for me. if thats what works for you as well id definitely say treat it like that (also i would LOVE to see any animatics you do for this)

i personally am mostly watching the hermits doing their hermit crafting (currently watching 18 hermits simultaneously the hyperfixation is b a d) and a couple SOS members, though i plan to watch more of the creators. I've really only seen up to double life (all through grians pov), and i havent even finished that. in my defence, the "its for your secret soulmate" line utterly and completely destroyed me and i have NOT recovered since (i stopped watching his hermitcraft videos after that too until the start of s10).

i have made the resolution to go watch other povs but i need to finish his first rip.

ANYWAY BACK TO THE AU

How often do you think the vflarp games effect their out of game relationships? like obviously it led to them becoming friends and desert duo becoming "moirails" but like. Did double life cause a rift between grian and scar? has rendog being absent from the games had any significance on anything? (i havent watched further so i cant really give too many other examples). Do the winners get anything other than the satisfaction that they alone won?

absolute behemoth of an ask my bad

Yeah! There’s just something so appealing about being able to just jump around & do mini projects that go together rather than one huge one. I’m hoping it’ll hold off the burn out I inevitably get for my AUs. **stares off into the distance thinking about all my mega fics that only ever got three chapters** I get it being hard to break it down though! I hope you’re able to land at a place where you can create as easily & painlessly as possible. ^^

I feel you on the hyperfixation lol. I was doing that hermitblr survey that’s going around & realized that I watch every episode of a third of the server, & some to most episodes of another third. & there’s a handful in the final third that I’ve been meaning to watch, but haven’t gotten to because I’m so busy watching everyone else & thinking about fanworks. This season is just slamming all the good brain chemical buttons!

Tbf, “it’s for your secret soulmate” hit so fucking hard, I do not blame you an ounce for wanting to take a break after that! When you’re ready, I highly recommend Martyn’s 3rd life, it’s so good! I never quite got the Renchanting/Treebark hubbub as someone who’d only seen Grian’s perspective of that season, but after watching Martyn’s… The drama is just. So. Good. Martyn + Ren is just a combo of theatre kid lore nerds & it honestly slaps. Gem’s Secret Life is damn good as well, just ‘cause she got to be a chaos gremlin & we love to see it.

Oh yes, their VLARPing affects IRL relationships all the time! A lot of early relationships developed due to playing 3rd Life & those relationships continued on to influence who went on which ship once they reached adulthood! Obviously, we’ve got Scar & Griann, but also there’s Scohtt & Jimmie who became auspitices, & Wrehnn & Martyn who stick together & eventually become matesprits. Jimmie & Tangoh hit it off after playing Double Life as soulmates & eventually enter a [matespritship? Moiraillegance? Haven’t decided] as well. & of course, my beloved Boat Boys developed their weird whatevership around the same time. (Joel swears they’re pitch. Eethos never comments on it. The truth is somewhere around them being hate friends who are flushed for each other??? But fuck if you’ll ever get either of them to admit it.)

Things were pretty rocky for Scar & Griann after DL; the whole secret soulmate thing was a case of Griann being mildly annoyed with Scar & thinking he could get back at Scar/make Scar jealous. This blew up in his face ~*~spectacularly~*~ & it took quite a bit for things to heal between them. (Mummbo spent a lot of that time being very confused why the vibes on Scar’s ship were so fucking rancid until he managed to get Griann to fess up.)

There definitely is a plot related reason Wrehnn hasn’t been playing, but I’m holding back on finalizing anything until I get more of the out of game plot mapped out. But yes, that definitely affects/is an effect of things in game!

I think, much like in real life, winning is just for the prestige of it. Like, in this AU, the Life series is just a bunch of games they’re playing for the heck of it. Though this does make me think that I need to decide where these games come from, whether it’s a mass market thing or something Griann threw together or if maybe it came from some other outside influence. Hm…

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

Bruce Wayne is canonically a very handsome man (he is called a "pretty boy" and he is in his 40s, for fuck's sake), and he is pretty famous as a rich philanthropist who doesn't want to leave his awful cursed crime infested city. So, there must be a ton of people thirsting over him on the internet. Fancams, edits, fanfics and imagines ("kidnapped with Bruce Wayne 😍 by a Gotham rogue"), the whole charade!

And anytime one of the batkids stumbles on a thirst post, they have the most dramatic disgusted reaction, loudly gagging, before sending the link to the batkids chat, because if they must suffer, then they should all suffer. Clicking on a link in this groupchat is like playing russian roulette, and getting rickrolled is a good ending.

Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."

Here's a line that got me in particular:

"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."

(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)

it's true! you can't make this stuff up! officially made my deposit, and its happening on the funny tv day for real. i've already made some progress toward the total doll hair amount i'll need (thank you endlessly), but if you want to help me not stress as much about not being able to work for six weeks, you can

get one of my comics (specifically oh huh, which is about gender stuff, but they're all free/PWYW)

pre-order one of the items from my top surgery collection (physical comic, stickers, that sort of thing)

buy me a coffee (or the pypl equivalent)

or if you can't do any of that, just sharing around my art helps as well :) thank you thank you thank you

I just bought my first push up bra! I’ve never bought one because I always feel like I’m lying if I wear one lol. But then I think about what if Yuuji was sitting outside the dressing room waiting for me to show it off, then I don’t feel so bad

Yuuji x Reader. 18+. Smut. All characters are of age. Minors don't interact.

Aaaaah, underwear shopping with Yuuji would be so good! He is so invested! So full of praise and so turned on. You open the door of the dressing room just enough to show him the push-up you tried on, asking if he likes the color, and Yuuji's eyes become so big, his mouth hanging open and almost drooling as he stares unashamedly at your tits.

It takes about five seconds before you get ushered back into the dressing room, this time joined by a very in-love and very horny Yuuji, who moans in your ear, "Fuck, cutie, I am the luckiest guy in the world," while his large hands wander all over your half-naked body, touching, caressing, pushing the panties that match your new bra to the side.

He fucks you right there in the narrow dressing room, in front of the mirror, in which he hungrily watches your tits jiggle in your pretty new push-up bra. So plump, so bouncy, driving him crazy, just like your cute ass usually does. Maybe if Yuuji fucks you fast and deep enough, he can even make them spill out of your new bra💗
