#and I'll miss all y'all

[celestialrealms]

Decided to make this bingo card for the upcoming season as a salty and tired Triworlds and trio fan to inject some fun into a season I'm not particularly excited about. It contains things only I, and maybe like two other people, care about.

(Didn't bother labeling it as season 3 because I'll be shocked if a lot of this isn't a concern for future seasons.)

I HAVE RETURNED!!! 💃🎉✨

[maydays-medbay]

You know what, I'm feeling positive today, so I'm going to put that forward into this post.

I love you trans men. I love you trans mascs. I love you demiboys. I love you genderfauns. I love you trans women. I love you trans fems. I love you demigirls. I love you genderfaes. I love you nonbinary people. I love you agender people. I love you xenogendered people. I love you genderfluid people. I love you bigender people. I love you pangender people. I love you genderqueer people. I love you closeted trans people. I love you out trans people. I love you stealth trans people. I love you questioning trans people. I love you curvy trans people. I love you fat trans people. I love you thin trans people. I love you lean trans people. I love you neurodivergent trans people. I love you disabled trans people. I love you tall trans people. I love you short trans people. I love those of you who struggle with dysphoria. I love those of you who don't or no longer struggle with dysphoria. I love those of you without access to HRT. I love those of you with access to HRT. I love those of you who don't want HRT. I love those of you who want HRT. I love those of you who want gender-affirming surgery.

Every single one of you matter to me, if not from the queer or trans perspective, than from a human one. All of you are important. All of you matter. All of you are valid, and all of you are loved. Keep being the awesome people you are, and don't let other people get in the way of letting you be yourself. Even if you're in a situation where being completely out isn't an option, or nobody else is able to know for safety reasons, know that I am here and I respect and value your internal feelings and identity. If you ever need someone to talk to, someone to be a listening ear, just know that I'm always a DM away. If you want to try out a new set of pronouns for yourself, I will happily help you explore that form of self-expression. I love you all. Stay safe, stay happy, and stay yourself 💛

So recently I've really hard committed myself to figuring out the perfect Pokemon to trade to each of the special coaches in Scarlet/Violet's DLC because I am Autistic and OCD but look listen it matters to me I love these characters and want to give them a Pokemon from a New Region I think they'd like

And I have one figured out for everyone except for SALVATORE

I thought a Pika Clone of any type would be fine and I landed on Dedenne because it looks like most like Alolan Raichu who I think he should have and is French which is clearly his default language, but that's in Paldea so it's NOT NEW, and the only other Pika Clone in the Dome is Plusle and Minun who are a PAIR DO NOT SEPARATE but you can only trade him ONE POKEMON.

So now I'm stumped I've been staring at his team for a full week trying to figure out a through line to go off of and honestly I've got absolutely nothing so I'm turning to you, Internet randoms.

What's the best New Pokemon introduced in the SV DLC to give to Professor Salvatore based on his team, subject, or general personality?

[14dayswithyou]

are you a compsci major :0

✦゜ANSWERED: I wish I had the brains and dedication for that ^^; If anything, Ren would be the compsci major (if he chose to go to university with you)!! As for me though?? I'm currently double majoring in digital media and social working ;v;

[significant-narratives]

[theultracharmingladynoire]

I miss being on here

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SCAR!!!!!!

I REALLY STARTED ROOTING FOR HIM DURING THIS EPISODE AND I KINDA HAVE BEEN A BIT ALREADY BUT WHOOOOO!!!!!!

He so deserves that

Also it was kinda funny but OOUFGH that ending can be so angsty/dramatic 👀👀 boutta write that so hard

If anyone was gonna win besides BigB, I wanted it to be Scar. I even said it before we watched Martyn's episode I believe, that it would be wild xd. Maybe it was one of the other episodes idk lol. But just, wow. That was great

Thank you SO MUCH to all of the creators for another amazing Life Series.

Secret Life was AWESOME!!!

This whole thing was so epic, and I'm so proud of and happy for Scar :'D

Gosh, the longest life series over 😭😭❤️

I loved it so much ❤️❤️🥰

For the first time since 2020, I am feeling the urge to read InuKag fics again???

This all started in June when I FINALLY read the iconic "Freak Attraction" by our esteemed @artistefish (which is PHENOMENAL AND AMAZING BTW PLEASE GO READ IT), but then, just now, I saw that the Smut Queen herself, @keichanz had posted new smut...... 👀👀👀

Aaaaaand suddenly I went hunting for other smutty oneshots to add to my "Marked for Later" fics. For the first time in AGES. Like. Um. Holy shit????

[Ramblings about my "Inuyasha history post-2020" below cut. Tl;dr: I'm lowkey Shook that my love for Inuyasha and InuKag fics is finally, slowly coming back 🥹💕]

Here's the rundown: 2020 happened. I went into quarantine with my parents. I was determined to finally devour a BUNCH of Inuyasha fics I kept meaning to read, and at first I did with great gusto..... but..... as April 2020 crept along, my interest began to wane and depression seized a hold of me.

Then Yashahime was announced. The fandom imploded. I felt nothing. No interest, no worries, no intrigue. NOTHING. It would've scared me if I was capable of feeling it.

Oh eventually, I felt a mild amusement at all of the squabbling and ship wars and all that nonsense (and spawned a whole fucking series of memes as a result lmaooooo). But my love for the fandom/fics had more or less snuffed out. Which sucked for a number of reasons, not least of which were "shit, most of my WIPs are for this fandom fuckfuckfuckfuck" LMAO 🙃

Depressing shit aside, I dove back HARD into the Disney fanfic side of things, on top of other anime titles and old fandoms like Harry Potter. I moved on to other fandoms, partially due to feeling embittered at the Inuyasha fandom for already making my depression over my lack of interest EVEN WORSE with all the in-fighting over Yashahime (which btw, for the record, is NOT a particularly bad show. It's not a GOOD show, per se, I don't have any strong feelings for it either way, but it's NOT the Antichrist™ like fans were making it out to be, sheesh >.> It's just another mediocre sequel for a classic-but-not-particularly-amazing-original-series. Shocking, I know. Moving on)

The only thing keeping me sane about Inuyasha was watching it with my fiancé, from Nov. 2020-Sept. 2021. His delightful commentary breathed life into the series like you wouldn't BELIEVE lmao 🤣

Eventually.... I felt the desire to write again. But it was HARD. 😭

After Shameless was completed in April of 2020, I felt.... empty of Inuyasha fic writing. By a miracle, I managed to update my Big Three WIPs (An Unexpected Encounter -> June 2020; Inuyasha: Prince of Thieves -> July 2020 & Sept. 2022; and Shards of the Sea -> June 2021 & Sept. 2022), but the gaps between updates kept widening, and I only worked on them because they were already partially written/published. I even ended up archiving older ficlets into Tied Together and Bonds Across Time, but had to resist the urge to delete everything and start afresh SEVERAL times since 2021 (which, coincidentally, was around the time the fandom was tearing itself apart over Yashahime bullshit and by bullshit I mean innocuous junk people were losing their goddamn minds over ugh.... 😒)

The handful of other fics I punched out for other fandoms were small, and only posted briefly in the summers of 2020 and 2022.

The latter summer was thanks to my first InuKag written smut in 2 years: Sinful Symphonies.

So, yay! Finally getting a feel for writing again, both for Inuyasha and in general! But I still felt utterly detached from other Inuyasha fics, not because of the writers (are you KIDDING me, half of the reason it was hard to distance myself from the fandom was because of the AMAZING TALENT in this fandom ugggghhh 😭), but because of my personal, complicated feelings with the fandom and series as a whole.

But then I binge-watched the series by myself this May. And finally, decided to buckle down and read Freak Attraction, which I have been meaning to read LONG before 2020, and thus, it became my first Inuyasha bookmarked fic on AO3 in almost 3 years, and first "new" Inuyasha fave as whole since August 2021.

My last Inuyasha bookmarked fic on AO3 was on Nov. 1, 2020 (on ff.net, I read two small MirSan smut fics in August 2021, but these are outliers; I really could not bring myself to read more than those -.-).

My last InuKag bookmarked smut on AO3 was April 7, 2020.

My last REVIEWS I left for an Inuyasha fic (besides the aforementioned fics) were from June-August 2021 for a couple of updated faves (namely Keichanz's Iconic You Rescued Me, which was a ROLLERCOASTER OF FEELS, LEMME TELL YOU).

And now. NOW. AT LAST. THREE WHOLE YEARS after 2020 sucked the joy of Inuyasha fandom/fic from me.... I want to try again. I want to read more again.

Even if it's only a little bit, I would like to find joy here again. 🥺💕

Hey, stargazers and flowerbeds <3

I know I've been tagged in things (never stop doing that, I love it and it makes me smile!), and I know it's been a while since I last posted a fic. This is a lil 'this is why I'm mainly doing reblogs' kind of post.

First was the holiday season, so of course I was busy during that. Then, some pretty low mental health moments. And of course, me now being sick and shit.

It's a been a few minor-ish things just piling up. I'll be okay, don't worry. Mainly just sick rn. Hoping it'll go away in a few days, so I can prep for Logince Week. So, if there's only reblogs or even radio silence days, that's why. I am simply under the weather rn.

So yeah. Energy very low. It's a lot just doing this post and trying to catch up on things I get tagged in.

I'll be okay :D

Anyway: stay safe and take care <3

[talentforlying]

ello ello again! work's picking up with a vengeance and i have been in & out of the hospital recently, so once again i have been queueing replies. (the latest batch should start posting today.) i'm also going to work on polishing up my multi when i find the time, so if y'all ever want to send things over there, feel free. i'm hoping that things will settle down by the end of the week and i'll be able to be actively active around here again, crossed fingers.

if i haven't replied to something in a hot minute and you're wondering if i'm still down, please don't hesitate to poke me about it! i don't drop threads a whole lot, so chances are good it's in the queue somewhere.

thanks for being patient with me y'all. <3
