#and maybe anon that isn't what you intended but i'm not sure how else to read this

[uncanny-tranny]

Quit being transphobic and adding the asterisk to make it say trans men* and trans women*. It's 2023. I thought we were past this.

This is probably about my post about trans women and trans men exchanging advice since it's been gaining traction, and I add the asterisk to signal that this isn't just about trans women and trans men. As somebody who isn't solely a trans man, it's weird to me that people have almost demanded that I just... ignore that, because it "isn't close to cisness." I added the asterisk for brevity and to signal that it's also about transfem people, transmasc people, transneutral people, genderqueers, genderfreaks, and whomever else I am not mentioning (memory loss gang, rise with me on this one).

Maybe you aren't a fan of how I indicated that difference (which is not what I have an issue with), but I truly do not appreciate being told that me acknowledging that trans men and trans women aren't the only people in this community is transphobic. If you aren't a fan of the asterisk, don't use it because that's completely neutral. But don't go after trans people who use it for literally non-transphobic reasons. Trans women and trans men are important members of the community, but they are not the only people who are trans in this space.

This will be my only response about this because I do think an explanation of my thought process in that post and posts like this would be helpful. But I'm drawing a firm boundary with how I'm talked to. This type of engagement is incredibly upsetting to me, and while I understand the aversion you may have to my language, I'm not going to be okay with being spoken to like this.

Will needs better coping mechanisms than putting his dick in her … yeah it’s great but communication is better.

I never want this to end … but how many chapters do you think you’re going to do? 

Hi anon.

Thank you for stopping in with your opinions on how I've written my story.

I always appreciate feedback, but I'll be honest that this isn't necessarily constructive or useful and certainly isn't a good way of helping to motivate me to continue this series that you don't want to end.

It's fanfic. Is it a good representation of how relationships and real life should work? Probably not, but that's okay, because it's for fun and fantasy and indulging a bit. So no, maybe Will putting his dick in her every chance he gets isn't a great coping mechanism but it is for me so that's how I've written it.

I've worked my ass off trying to add depth to this story that when I started it, wasn't even sure it was going to turn into anything, and feel I've included a lot of communication and growth with these characters whether it's blatantly obvious, internal, or just implied. I'm sure I could've done a better job with certain things in this story and with my writing in general, but we're not about to crack open that can of worms. I think every writer deals with the insecurities of comparison and everything else that comes along with writing and sharing FOR FREE and at the end of the day, I am extremely proud of what I've done with this so I'm not about to sit back and apologize for not portraying things how you think they should've been or regret my creative decisions.

Circling back to you never wanting it to end, I'm very happy that you're seemingly enjoying it so much, but I don't have an answer as to how many more chapters there will be and quite frankly, this message knocked any sort of motivation out of me and makes me relieved that I don't have a definitive answer to give you.

I hope the tone of your message wasn't intended to be as negative and offensive as it has come off. I understand that tone does not come out through the internet and I'm unable to see your face or hear your voice so it's hard to know how you've truly meant this. I'm always open to have discussions about my fics as long as they're directed as kind and respectful, and I'll encourage you to consider keeping things you didn't enjoy about someone's fic to yourself.

Hello! It's the same anon who was asking about the months the books take place in, how long the breaks were, when the culture fair was etc etc and I'm actually currently working on the timeline rn (and I plan on including the casts birthdays so that's fun lol) but I wanted to know if there is ever mentioned of any dorm specific events like the unbirthday? And is it ever mentioned when they might happen? (Like anything from the month or the condition for it to happen (ie the unbirthday parties only being able to happen when it isn't someone's birthday))

Also what are the holidays that are celebrated in twst and their estimated dates/months? Should I maybe look into some common Japanese holidays for what they might celebrate? Also are we given any events/celebrations in other countries in twst? (ie Cheka and Felena's birthdays since those are likely holidays as they are Ruling/heir royalty) also are they any mentions in story of any weather changes? (I remember in the prologue when we first stay in ramshackle it starts raining but I'm unsure if the weather is mentioned anywhere else)

Anyways, thank you for all you do here and for running this blog your a life saver lol <3

Hello hello again! ^^ Thank you for this question!

Heartslabyul Events:

The only event specific to Heartslabyul that I have been able to find is, as you say, the Unbirthday parties! There seem to be multiple held throughout the year. Cater says they are held on days when no one has a birthday and if the Housewarden feels like it, so there does not seem to be a specific, pre-determined schedule!

One of these parties overlaps with the Starsending event, which seems to be separate from the party we see in Book 1, which might come before the party we see in Trey, Deuce, Ace and Cater’s dorm vignettes, where Trey mentions “the incident” that was likely Riddle’s overblot.

During the Phantom Bride event Riddle mentions a croquet tournament held at Heartslabyul, but those tournaments seem to be a part of Unbirthday celebrations rather than independent happenings.

Cater mentions that Heartslabyul's garden flowers put on a concert in the spring, but I am not sure if the concert counts as a dorm event or if it is something the flowers do on their own.

Savanaclaw Events:

The only regularly-occurring Savanaclaw happening I was able to find is the morning Spelldrive training that was instituted after October’s tournament! 

Dorms such as Heartslabyul, Scarabia and Pomefiore mention welcome parties for new students, held right after opening ceremonies.

Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, Ignihyde and Diasomnia do not seem to mention these parties, but that does not necessarily mean that they are not taking place and they might be a school-wide tradition—except! In the first visual book Yana has a comment that alludes to Savanaclaw maybe not having one, so maybe they’re not school wide after all? (Comment: “(Ruggie) is thinking about if the welcoming party for new students (is there one?) will have tasty food.”)

Octavinelle Events:

Was not able to find any regular events for Octavinelle, and the dorm’s happenings may be fairly tied into Mostro Lounge?

Azul says that weekends are their busiest time, and they also seem busy during the National Track and Field Meet.

Scarabia Events:

Was not able to find any reference to regular happenings at Pomefiore, Ignihyde or Diasomnia, and Scarabia’s are a little difficult to track because it seems that Kalim will throw multiple parties on weekends: When asked why he intends to have yet another party when he had one just the night before Kalim explains, “that’s what the weekend is for.”

We see other instances of parties being hosted at Scarabia, such as when the founding mages for a new school to be established in the Scalding Sands visit NRC and when Kalim invites Crowley to a banquet to be held in his honor, but these do not seem to be regular occurrences that are tied to the dorm.

Curiously, Scarabia might even have two banquets for new students: in addition to the welcome party mentioned in Jamil’s ceremonial robes vignette, there is a “banquet for (their) new students” referenced in Kalim’s school uniform vignette.

While this might just be the same party, Kalim invites Riddle to attend and Riddle agrees, despite how Heartslabyul has a post-orientation welcome party of its own, hosted simultaneously with the party mentioned by Jamil.

This seems to mean that either Riddle left the first-ever Heartslabyul welcoming party he was attending as its Housewarden, or Scarabia has more than one welcoming party for new students?

(This post has become quite long! Will compile Twst worldwide-holidays and weather separately ^^ I hope this helps!)

[coffeebanana]

How would you recommend interacting with a writer. If a story wasn't to your taste, or left you unsatisfied. But you still want to encourage, the writer. And show gratitude for the free entertainment?

Hi anon!

The short answer is, a simple "thanks for the fic!" or "thanks for sharing!" or even a few emojis will often suffice. You really don't have to let the writer know what you didn't like. At the end of the day, they're not writing the fic for you, and obiously not every story is going to satisfy everyone the same way--otherwise we'd all be the same and that would be a horrendously boring world to live in.

The long answer is probably unecessary, but I like to procrastinate on my WIPs talk 😂

There's a format of commenting that goes a little like this: "i don't normally like [X ship, X trope, the way X acts in canon, etc...], but i love the way you do it!!" And honestly I myself have used that before--mostly for tropes, though possibly for some ships as well. And on the surface, that's reads as a compliment. Personally, when ppl leave me that sort of comment, I'll usually interpret it as a compliment too--unless they're full on bashing the thing I love (which sometimes happens with people criticizing canon). And I do think it's INTENDED as a compliment. (That's how I've meant it, when I used it, so I do try my best to also interpret others in good faith.)

But it can also read as "I don't like this thing that you really like and I felt the need to tell you that." Honestly, I didn't even realize it would come across that way until I saw someone else point it out. And then...yeah, I started to notice the fics I get it on more (A lot lot lot of my ladrien fics, lmao.)

So I'm at a weird cross roads where I try not to use that anymore--unless it's with someone I'm fairly sure will understand how I mean it?because sometimes you do have more of a rapport with certain ppl and they'll understand what you mean--but I also don't want to say it's 100% a bad thing to say. I really do understand the intent.

Anyways, my point in bringing that up is that you never don't know what seemingly innocent "this wasn't quite to my taste" comment is going to read as an insult. And so if you really DO want to encourage said writer, I'd recommend sticking to the positives.

Another big thing that's important to me personally is: don't lie.

People have a tendancy to...I don't want to say be disingenuous, but certainly to exaggerate at times on the internet. You see that in the SCREAMING CRYING EATING GLASS types comments. And those are USUALLY sincere in the way that the emotions they convey are sincere. We as a society understand they're not literally eating glass but that they're in agony because the angst in the fic was so good and they want more. But then--something I've noticed--that sort of lingo has a way of slipping into a default response of sorts. And sometimes that makes me question if people really mean it?

This second thing is probably more of a personal thing than a response to your question, but since it's something I've been thinking about lately I hope you don't mind that I brought it up too. I really don't want people to lie to me about my writing.

Not even if it's "to be nice".

Maybe this is in part because I myself find it...difficult to be insincere with ppl, but I don't want false compliments--that's something I tell my friends too. If I write a trope or pairing you don't like? There's never any pressure to read it. I don't expect comments or kudos from anyone. And I'm not someone who in general believes people are insincere--that's not really fair to other people. But everyone has doubts at some point, and I feel like adding to that by straight up lying to make someone feel better just isn't the way to go? If you can't pick out a detail from the fic that you genuinely enjoyed, then maybe keep it to the simple "thanks for sharing!"

So, I guess the TLDR is: keep it short and sweet. keep it encouraging if that's really your goal. (and, if this ever happens to be in reference to something that I specifically have written? please don't feel like you HAVE to say anything at all)

Thanks for the ask!! Sorry I went on for so long LOL💜

[fatuismooches]

I'm coping so hard with the fact I'll probably have to wait ~2 years to see Pantalone bc he literally has no reason to leave Snezhnaya🙂💧

At the very least I hope to see Sandrone in Fontaine please, please, please

I heard theory that Arlie will betray the Tsaritsa (bc Childe said he'd do that and Scara called her "wolf in the sheep's clothing", plus in trailer she's surrounded by harbingers figures, but not a part of them). Maaaybe GI will finally add more morally gray characters in character rooster and Arlie will follow us (and become playable as a result) only bc of her own benefit (kinda like Yae Miko). One thing I want is - please, don't change her appearance, especially her clothes, she's perfect the way she is. Don't add her skirt or shorts with kneesocks, leave her her cool tuxedo😔

Another theory I heard is that her arms are black not bc she's wearing gloves, but it's a damage from using delusion. Which... Gives me a small angsty idea. As we saw in Inazuma archon quest, delusion drains vitality out of their user, as for Crepus - he was in such great pain from using it that Diluc had to kill him. So, imagine Reader being concerned for Arlie bc she's in pain after using her delusion, but she brushes it off, after all she's a high-ranked harbinger, maybe she'll even try to hide her pain from Reader as much as possible to not seem weak in their eyes

-can I be 🥀 anon if it's not taken yet?

LITERALLY SAMEEEEE 🥀 ANON IT'S LITERALLY NOT FAIR AT ALLL 😭 Pantalone really is chilling in Snezhnaya, controlling the economy and money flow ig 😭🚶‍♀️ I also can't think of a reason why he would leave, other than perhaps a Liyue mission, because Yelan does say he has his eye on Liyue. I do have a lot of faith that Sandrone will appear in Fontaine, so I'm very excited for her at least!

Yup yup I've heard that theory too! I think it's super cool, and I can really see it happening. But it also makes me wonder how she'll survive if she betrays the Fatui. The Fatui probably doesn't take traitors lightly so she might have a lot of people after her if she does betray them. Girl's gonna be on the run I guess. And now who's gonna run the orphanage? The Fatui are losing their top members hella quickly, makes me wonder how the fight against Celestia is gonna play out. And i completely agree, she needs to keep her tuxedo!! But if she does betray the Fatui, it'll probably end up getting changed a bit, just to cut off association with them.

I've been wondering for a while why her arms are black even though she's not wearing gloves, and that's actually a really interesting theory. I can see her as a person willing to do anything for her goals... even if that means she gets injured herself (though she's always ready to use someone else to take the fall for her.)

You did not need to be a fighter to know the dangers of using a Delusion. It could grant you unspeakable power, but also have drawbacks better left to the imagination. Sure, the Harbingers were capable of controlling it. But sometimes things don't always go as planned.

She was strong, extremely strong, you believed that more than anyone. But you couldn't help but worry, especially when she nearly burst into your shared room, making you jump from the unexpectedly loud entrance. It seemed that she didn't expect you to be here right now, not at this time. You were usually elsewhere in the mansion. And she was usually not home at this time. And you immediately knew why.

"You're hurt," you quickly stood up. Something almost unnoticeable flickered in her eyes as she rebutted your statement.

"It is nothing. I am fine," she replied calmly, brushing off your words. You furrowed your eyebrows at her dismissal.

"Arlie, please consider taking a break from that... thing. It simply isn't good for-"

"[Name]. You know what my mission is. What I have to fulfill." Her voice came off sterner than she intended it to be and she realized as she noticed your quietness.

"There is no bleeding," she stated, returning to a softer tone. "I truly am fine. You need not worry. I just came to pick something up for business." You didn't want to sigh in front of her. Though her face had no trace of pain, you knew she was lying. She was hiding it from you.

You knew better than to push the subject. So right now, the only thing you could do was let it go, as you walked up to your lover and slowly wrapped your hands around her from behind. Arlecchino was still stiff from the tension in the conversation.

"Just... be careful out there." Arlecchino didn't respond, but she brought her hands up to cup your arms. Nothing else was to be said as the two of you stood there, relishing each other's company.

But your heart still hurt when you saw the medical supplies and pills you left for her were used.

[cryptids]

I think it's been about like 3-4 years now since I resolved to try and leave a comment on every fic I enjoy enough to read all the way through to the end, and I do pretty much all of them (the few exceptions are always when I'm reading before bed and accidentally fall asleep then forget to do it lmao) So uhhh.... for no particular reason, here are some things I've learned over time? This is just me personally though so ymmv of course.

It becomes a lot easier to think of what to say after you've been doing it for a while. At first I used to really struggle with what to write and putting stuff into words?? But is easy for me now.

The commenting itself also becomes a habit after some time and stops feeling like something that takes significant extra effort. It's just second nature now and really does feel easier.

I only get a response from the authors on maybe like.... 1/5th?? Of the comments I leave. It can be disheartening at first (especially when it's a really long or heartfelt comment that took you ages to write) bc it feels like the writer isn't seeing it and you're just posting into the void lmao. My only advice is just to try not to let it discourage you... I know a lot of writers don't reply bc they're shy or aren't sure what to say, or they intend to and forget, or they just haven't checked that account in years. Tbh I just figured there's no way to know if my comment will be seen, but it's worth leaving them anyway bc the times they are appreciated always makes up for it like tenfold.

If you can't think of much to say or don't have the energy, simple stuff like "I loved this" or even just some heart emojis still seem to be appreciated in my experience.

Please don't feel too embarassed to leave comments on super old fics!! I've commented on some fics from 10+ years ago, and gotten delighted responses from their authors who were super happy to know people still enjoyed them.

Please don't feel embarassed to be the first commenter on a fic either. This could just be bc I'm always in rarepair hell but I can't even tell you how many fics I'm the singular comment under, even ones that have a lot of kudos and bookmarks. I promise its not weird to be the only person in a comment section, and yours might encourage others.

Making an account makes things quicker and easier than having to put your info in for anon comments each time. I have an empty ao3 account I use only for commenting and bookmarking, I recommend that for anyone else like me who is not a writer themselves.

I'm not bothering with "don't comment rude or entitled things" type of points or "how to write/structure a comment" bc there's already a lot of posts like that from fic writers, this is just some things from the pov of a regular commenter that I learned through my experience.

I think my final thing worth saying is that if you have any anxiety issues with feeling self conscious like I do, you might worry a lot that you're "being annoying" by leaving comments (especially if you end up leaving multiple by commenting on different chapters). But I've expressed this worry to a number of writers over the years and all of them have told me that its actually the opposite to annoying and they love it. So please let their words reassure you as well gsjshdjs

[halfmoth-halfman]

You should respond to reblog comments more tbh. People are taking the time to reblog your stuff, and tell you how much they enjoyed it and not answering is kinda rude. I love your fics, and you seem nice and all, but I’ve seen your notes recently— they���re nowhere near what they used to be and you don’t get anywhere near as much interaction as other CoD writers. It’d probably help your blog a lot! Just some advice, but maybe think about it! 😘💖

this has been sitting in my inbox for a few days cause i've been debating about whether or not i want to answer this, but i'm 98% sure you're the same anon who's sent me a few other messages since they all use the same kiss emoji and are riddled with the same backhanded bullshit you're spewing here, and you've succeeded in annoying me so here's your answer before you get blocked. 😘

i do this for fun. writing is not my bread and butter, it's not how i make my money, it's not how i support myself. it is a hobby. i use some of my free time to write and post fics for my own enjoyment above all else. i don't give a fuck about how many notes, or likes, or reblogs i do or don't get. is it nice to see them and see comments from people who enjoy my stuff? absolutely. i'm incredibly thankful for anyone who takes time out of their day to read one of my fics and even more so for people who go out of their way to interact with me and my work, but i'm not going to worry myself over numbers, because that's not why i write.

also, i've been in fandom spaces for a long time and, i hate to break it to you, but more often than not fandoms tend to slow down and die after the initial hype. i posted my first CoD fic like a week or two after the game came out when it was blowing up all over social media, of course it got an unusually high amount of notes that were, honestly, a little bit overwhelming at the time. now it's been some time, and the hype for the game has died down, so people are moving on to different shows/games/etc. which means interaction is gonna slow down. it happens, and i don't intend to sit and worry over how many asks or reblogs or whatever i get compared to other blogs. that's not fair to me, the other authors, or the people interacting. i'm happy with where my blog is at, and the amount of interaction i get.

i've said this a few times already, but i work a full-time job and have other obligations outside of tumblr. i don't have a lot of free time, and have to plan ahead how i want to spend it. i try my best to respond to replies, to answer asks, and everything else when i can, but i am an adult with adult responsibilities and just don't have time to keep up with every single like and reblog i get. that doesn't mean i'm purposely ignoring anyone, or that i'm ungrateful, i just simply don't have the time to keep up with every single notification i get. if i had more time in the day, then i'd probably respond more and be more active here in general, but i don't.

i greatly appreciate every single follower i have, every person who likes, reblogs, comments, replies, sends asks, etc. while i write for myself, it's always nice seeing other people enjoying my work, i won't pretend that it isn't. it absolutely blows me away the amount of people who like my writing enough to tell me. i'm always open to people sending me stuff, and try to respond as best i can, but i feel it's unfair (and not just to me, but to other writers and creators in general) to call me rude for not responding how you think i should. and i think it's even more rude for you to come into my inbox (on anon of all things) to spam me with messages about how you think i should run my blog with condescending and backhanded asks that you want to pretend is friendly advice.

i think it would be good for you to take some time and step away from tumblr and go outside, touch some grass, climb a tree, eat some dirt, or interact with real people, and maybe try to realize that, outside of this blog, i am a person too and one who really doesn't need to deal with this shit.

Just some advice, but maybe think about it! 😘💖

[nervoustragedyluminary]

I'm still not sure that OP wasn't bait intended to "peak" trans women by making up a hyper specific scenario where going "that Afab is a fake tranny and an evil detransitioner because as we know all detransitioners are the same and hate trans women" would somehow be protecting people ..... I mean look at the effects its having:

like IDK maybe this is a common issue with "TME"&dyadic cis Afab people pretending to be "AMAB" trans women in order to purposefully give bad advice and sabotage people's transitions and use the community like a club? If so why is this anon the first I've heared of it and why does the answer seem to be "tell everyone this bitch is a Cis Afab whose lying about being trans to steal tranny valor from real trans people" and not "tell people this dyadic person socially transitioned to man then detransitioned and started calling herself transfem so doesn't have the experience of reversing a T puberty or going on E "?

but I'm just seeing a lot of responses that are basically "this is why trans women can't trust anyone else they're all out to get us and anyone mentioning the existence of intersex people is automatically bad faith and just hates real trans women and gender is actually binary and anyone who isn't binary is trying to steal tranny valour " is just idk a terf couldn't have done better to try to make this into a" evil afabs stealing trans women's spaces" discussion..

Like "words no longer have connection to reality and her thinking she was male in the first place was delusional" seems like terf rhetoric slipping out from behind the mask

"detransitioners are all the same and all do this"

"this happens all the time"

"this is why trans unity can never work its a trojan horse for watering down trans womanhood"

Like idk I'm sure the OP is super happy at contributing to making a bunch of trans women feel unsafe and like they have to be constantly looking over their shoulders and doubting other trans people.

You can see it in the disingenuous( IMO) "I'm sorry my post stirred up the transmisogyny of those theyfabs who only ever bring up icky intersex people to attack the real trans people it wasn't my intention uwu shame on those delusional theyfabs if a cis man was doing that to them (which was a bait ask anon that I saw someone beign sent previously) they'd totally understand but they can never understand how unsafe trans women can be made by cis interlopers because they don't face danger from cis people unlike you.... I'm one of the good ones"

Like if you thought it might stir up transmisogyny why would you post it in the first place ? Why not instead ask "how do I warn people that my friend is giving misinformation without being an asshole " or "how do I talk to her about why what she's doing isn't okay without accusing her of being a transtrender" or "how do I remove this bad faith transphobe/ chaser who thinks she's playing 4d chess from my life?"

Instead it just comes off as "trender Discourse 2.0 the AFABs are coming for your trans womanhood and anyone who talks about intersex people is bad faith and to be shunned because they're just looking for excuses not trying to in good faith show possible scenarios where the OP might be being misleading as this ask echoes a lot of terf transmeds and separatist rhetoric "

[bunnyreaper]

hello, anon with the boyfriend (can i dub myself 🍇? is that a thing i can do?) responding to both you and that other anon!

how does one like... can i get tmi real quick? wait we were talking about fingering this has got to be okay ignore me if not but like i've tried to mention stuff in the pasttttttt about like stuff that i like. especially dirty talk or god even just sounds in general because this man is extremely quiet and i've mentioned it a few times before and like other stuff too and i feel like it doesn't change ): like idk if i just wasn't saying it i guess seriously enough or convincing enough maybe?

how do you guys get the courage(? i think) to talk about that stuff? am i just dumb? especially when it comes to me like actually finishing because if i don't manage to finish before he does then i just... don't get to at all 🙃 like do you guys just full send it and it just works?

anyway sorry this is tmi but i need to change something soon i stg 😭

YOU ARE NOW GRAPES BABY!!

If you are mentioning that you're into something, what is his response? Does he say that it sounds good and never acts on it?

Because reading between the lines here, and I'm sorry, your bf sounds fucking selfish. It's hard to build that courage anyway, but especially so if you feel like your needs aren't the priority because you've been made to feel that way by a neglectful partner. I know he and your relationship will be multifaceted, but this is no bueno!

you need to sit him down properly and explain like "hey im sure this isn't what you intended but I feel X because of Y and I would appreciate if you did Z, does that sound good to you?"

Imma be real with you. Some men are lazy as fuck and settle for giving the bare minimum (yes everyone does it ofc but you know), my boyfriend is guilty of it sometimes too, and at this point in life I just have to stop giving a fuck. Like sometimes he'll say to me "I feel bad because I cum a lot more than you do." And i just say "Then put in the effort to make me cum?"

Bcs SOMETIMES you just gotta be blunt!!

AND look it's easy for me to give this advice but I find it so hard to take it myself, so I'm still there with you learning! Any input from anyone else is appreciated as always ❤️

[holybibly]

hi thank you for creating a blog which is so safe. i never felt comfortable with my sensuality and my environment has always shamed me from being too feminine and express my sexuality. ur posts are so memorable that i keep returning to them and then i end up scrolling thru ur answered asks and i just feel so sleepy and safe and so inspired to be like you? btw we both have capricorn moon so maybe i can relate the way u think?

my surroundings have always slut shamed me for even existing but you as a stranger whose works i have read and reblogged and never interacted with you has made me feel inspired to be this much confident. so heres this note for you, me thanking you. i didnt know if i should reveal my blog but i cried halfway thru the pretty flushed matz smut. i never thought i would...

the world has always unintentionally or intentionally kink shamed everyone. you call someone mommy daddy? oh ew. you like being called kitty pup etc. oh god ur a furry. but here seeing u using bunny as a pet name for ur beloved readers and not making fun of any asks or answer any of them rudely. i really am inspired by your energy. i am a witch(?) (i am beginner tho because my environment doesnt let me thrive) and when i first discovered you, i couldnt believe u interacted with ur readers like that and i almost felt envious of how proudly ur comfy with yourself. but lmao look at me here writing paras abt how much i felt like accepting my self even if it was 0.01%

ps. god i would love to talk to you abt everything and share evrythung ur so cool !! 🫂🫂 i wanna be off anon so bad but damn my shyness bruh T-T

Oh bunny, you should never be shy about your wishes and dreams. As I always say, all my bunnies literally live in my head.

My blog is a complete reflection of me, reading my work you can see what a mess my head is in and how different I can be.

Oddly enough, I'm quite shy in life and used to being a real princess, but at the same time I can easily take a dominant position. I can be completely different and adapt to whatever you want, but one thing I am one hundred percent sure of is that I will never love anyone more than I love myself.

Loving myself and accepting who I am now has not been easy for me and I really wish someone had been there for me in my time to tell me that: I will always be with you.

We choose who we are and society has no right to impose standards and labels on us. I want my bunnies to know that I will always be there for them, day or night. This is a safe place for them and I will never tolerate humiliation or insults towards my bunnies.

Pretty Flushed is really special, isn't it? I know it is one of your favourites of my work and I intend to expand this universe. So expect a very special morning with my adored MATZ soon.

Read the Yuuji curse fic and i am EATING YOUR WALLLLLSSSSS MY SKRUNKLIES

Okay but like. The potential of Yuuji-Kenjaku partnership au. The dynamic shift between picture perfectly self-serving sorcerer Sukuna and twisted, loving King of Curses Yuuji.

Maybe Suguru's faction is waylaid early on by a stranger with stitches lining their forehead, because they heard that a member of Suguru's family was a girl from the countryside with a penchant for dolls. Suguru can't focus on those damn monkeys or even Jujutsu Society anymore because some bastard is working with filthy "intelligent" curses and kidnapped Mimiko. That's just as unforgivable as being the reason those curses exist in the first place. So Suguru is still around to cause problems, maybe.

Either way, years later, "Kugisaki Nobara" swaggers into Ryomen Sukuna and Uruame's first year class at Tokyo Tech.

And you know. Hey. What if. While Maki was still born with nothing. Mai was born a year later with Ten Shadows. Consider toxic, tragic, doomed since conception Nobamaki in the midst of clawing for someone else they can't bear to live without.

And Megumi gets to trans his gender cuz that's always fun

Anyways these are all just ideas since I have self-inflicted brainrot now jdfhskdl

Omg sorry, have had a hectic few days but ANON ANON COME BACK YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THIS AND THEN LEAVE OMG YOU'RE INFECTING ME WITH BRAIN ROT !!!!!

Yuuji being the King of Curses, but specifically it stemming from how much he loves Megumi and Nobara. Man hang on a second.... hang on second !!!!! Like we all know I adore the whole "love is the most twisted curse of all" and so that being reflected in the King of Curses... Yeah, that hits.

Also Yuuji and Kenjaku having a partnership is really interesting too! Because like canonically, Kenjaku just kinda did things without really consulting Sukuna (or at least, that's what seems to be implied) so Yuuji working with them specifically because he doesn't just want to be incarnated again, but so Megumi and Nobara can be... Making sure they have suitable vessels and bodies.... It would be a super interesting dynamic between them! Kenjaku working to make/find those bodies for all of them

And Kenjaku deciding to go after Mimiko is so fun. It creates such a messy conflict for Geto, which in turn affects Gojo, and would also spiral into the Yuta and Rika consolation if Geto isn't as focused on him because he's preoccupied with Mimiko.

Kenjaku likely wouldn't incarnate Nobara without knowing they could incarnate Megumi and Yuuji. One of them by themselves likely wouldn't mean the most stable incarnated curse! But Kenjaku having Sukuna for Yuuji, and having heard about Mai, knowing if they can get their hands on her, she's likely to be a good vessel for Megumi. So they make the decision to incarnate her in Mimiko once they have their hands on her. Mimiko growing up already having Nobara incarnated in her, Nobara developing a fondness for her vessel because she sees herself in this girl. Oh, it would be such an interesting dynamic!

Forgive me, I'm bouncing all over the place, but the implications of Uraume and Sukuna with this being a role swap AU! I'm not sure if this is what you intended, but where my brain is going, is Sukuna being in a similar position as Yuuji is in canon, with him being created specifically to be Yuuji's vessel. But instead of being separated from jujutsu society, growing up in it, being involved in it, as you said, being a picture perfect cutthroat sorcerer. Maybe a bastard child from one of the big three clans? Being connected with them, but looked down upon. Feel like it would be interesting circumstances for him, with Uraume being what feels like his one true ally. Uraume being the one to find the cursed object that allows Yuuji to be incarnated in Sukuna. Sukuna deciding to consume it because he wants more power. And them being enrolled in Tokyo Tech!!! Making them Gojo's students!!! MM. Yeah. Yeah, I'm having a lot of thoughts about that

So Yuuji incarnates in Sukuna, and Kenjaku releases Nobara/Mimiko into the world so she can be enrolled in Tokyo Tech and be by Yuuji's side once again.

Gojo now suddenly having access to Geto's missing adopted daughter, but not realizing it.

And then. Ugh. The Zenins. I'm obsessed with that little plot thread like you don't even know!!! Maki being enrolled at Tokyo Tech, and a year later, Mai is enrolled in Kyoto. Maybe Nobara originally decides to get close to Maki so she hopefully has a chance to get to Mai so they can use her to incarnate Megumi. That's the plan after all! But it's difficult to get access to a Zenin. Kenjaku hasn't been able to manage it yet, but now that Nobara and Yuuji have incarnated in their vessels (even if Nobara is essentially sharing a body, and Sukuna is able to repress Yuuji) they decide it's up to them now to get Megumi's vessel. It's not right without him! But Nobara gets attached to Maki. Maki gets attached to Nobara. Feelings develop, and Nobara begins the miserable spiral of desperately needing Megumi's vessel. Everything pales in comparison to that. She won't give up on it just because she's developed feelings, but that doesn't mean she doesn't start to feel guilt for it. It's the first time she's felt guilt in a long time, and Yuuji is having a difficult time understanding her feelings. After all, this is for Megumi. Nothing matters except that!

But they're finally able to get access to Mai, maybe during the exchange event. Maybe that was the plan the curses worked on for that rather than stealing the fingers as it was in canon. So Megumi is able to incarnate in Mai, and Maki is enraged and hurt. Yeah. Yeah

I am.... so sorry, I just fucking ran with this, it's just!!! Such a fun and interesting concept for an AU and my brain is EATING IT!!!!!

[kneelingshadowsalome]

lmao im sorry for making your blog a space for arguments, but, as the autistic engel anon, i am autistic 😭😭

i genuinely only sent that ask because that's how i myself am perceived by people and how i often end up feeling. the sarcastic "self-indulgent" was the thing that i thought would make it clear where im coming from.

i dont know if this is a language barrier sort of thing but i dont know why That would make people assume that i am not autistic, or why me making that kind of ask to comfort myself is suddenly turned into this kind of conversation lol

especially since i hear the term "loser" towards myself a lot (as well as its synonyms) from other people who don't understand me and don't believe that i could be autistic (because of being a woman, being able to mask well, living in a country that isn't educated on the topic well enough yet)

so like. idk! im sorry for saying something that anon found hurtful, but i think that across most communities that are jokes/sayings/etc that are okay for some people and aren't okay for others. so im sorry if what i said was indeed as hurtful as the other anon described it. i genuinely didn't intend to hurt anyone especially since i sent that ask after being mistreated by someone close to me and wouldn't want to someone else to feel hurt by it

and if that was the case for most people then maybe it would really be better to delete it? im not sure, but thank you as a writer for creating something so beautiful in response to my ask 🫶🩷

Look! 🩷 My darling autistic engel anon. I loved your ask and the first thing I did in the morning was write a little something for it because I thought it was adorable, relatable and delightful. The fact that you came to me of all ppl with that prompt, then came to thank me and say that it’s beautiful?! means the world to me! I don’t want to delete it 🩷 Of course if the majority of people came to me with torches and pitchforks I might reconsider but it sure doesn't look like it, and I trust that those who didn't like it just scrolled past, unfollowed, blocked, you know, the usual. At the end of the day, this is just a silly little cock blog curated by an autistic dumbo :D

I’m here to provide myself and other people a romantic escape, I'm here to address all kinds of funny crazy thirsty tropes, issues, kinks, whatever through writing because it's a much more controlled and safe environment compared to real life. But I can’t please everyone and it’s a bit futile to even try, I'm not perfect. Someone might find my blurbs and fics too fluffy, for someone else they're too angsty, too kinky, too vanilla, too this, too that, insensitive, problematic, boring, evil, I dunno. What other people perceive as cute, beautiful and self-indulgent might be something completely different to others. We're all different and for me your ask happened to bring joy 💌

[oh-snapperss]

Just reread watercolor blues for the like tenth time, I love it so much, it's so well written!I still cry a little bit at the part where Etho is back at the snow fort after Bdubs' death and the garden is completely dead- in your typical story, there'd be maybe one flower bud left, but nothing lived, and I think that's a neat thing for symbolization, how Bdubs died and his garden doesn't have any life left at all.

I also love how the flowers Etho brings Bdubs have their symbolism, but are also Minecraft flowers! It seems like a minor detail that wouldn't be too important, but I think it's really cool when authors do that. And the poppy... the single poppy. Oh my goodness that flower- the symbolism- Along with what happens next...

Incredible.

I admire the way you can realistically write characters' internal thoughts and conflicts! It's something I find difficult to do, and you pull it off so well. Everything the characters feel or think, it's almost tangible the way I feel the same things!

And that part near the end where Etho finally returns and Bdubs isn't quite sure that it's real- I can't find the exact words I want to use but I really love how you write scenes like that!

I just adore you and your writing so much!

WTF ANON EEUEUEUEUEUEU please know that i am making you tea. so much fucking tea. and i'm sitting here like ;-; /pos

OKAY AND YEA:DDD so the garden... it was really important to me to show the garden as almost a metaphor for their home during last life? so once that wither hit and bdubs was gone... so was the home they had created, as flimsy and temporary those snow walls really were. that fic is much more about the symbolism and themes than anything else<3

the flowers,,,, i actually originally was gonna use flowers outside of the game, but then i actually found out something super fucked up and had to share it with everyone in the only way i know how.

so this right here is actually a screenshot from etho's episode eight of last life! he opens the chest just for a split-second, but you can see... those flowers were actually canon. the second i saw it i knew i had to make it happen in the fic, so... yeah. that chest is from bdubs' side of the house as well btw, so there's a good chance he placed them in that chest for god knows what reason.

this chest is also from their base, but to the side a little bit and not the same room! and why i wound up incorporating the poppy the way i did:) i originally had not intended for the fic to have canon basis but once i saw these chests it kinda changed my mind so... here we are!

AND OUGH??? THANK YOU???? writing internal thoughts and conflicts is genuinely a favorite part of my writing because i like to explore the why of what a character is doing in a moment. i'm learning to work with descriptive stuff more and more and it's just AGH i'm literally so<3333 thank you for saying that wtf... as far as the emotions go... i actually have a trick i do to help that where i put myself into the character's head if that makes sense? when i write how a character is feeling, i put myself into the situation and their head and i'm able to then feel what the character would feel. and then i channel it into words and so far it's turned out into some of my favorite pieces of writing:D (watercolour blues, the stories we tell and the truths untold, and can you see me are probably the strongest example of places i did this)

sorry for the massive ramble but anon you've made me so :DDDDDD i hope you have the best day/night and both sides of the pillow are cold okay that's all i got byeeee

I'm sorry, but your post about the pride jerseys is deeply offensive to me. I'm not here to argue or start anything with you, maybe just shed some light from a different POV. Please read this with an open mind. Religion isn't an excuse. It's a life that you live based on faith. And the Bible isn't just some self-help book that you decide to follow. As a young Christian I've always had conflicting feelings about the lgbtq community.

As a Christian you're taught that being gay is a sin. Just like a lot of other things are considered a sin, like using God's name in vain. Without going into a lot of detail that I'm sure you don't want to know, it's not my place to tell you that what you're doing is wrong.

Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable promoting what they consider to be against their beliefs doesn't mean that they're saying you're not welcome. We shouldn't be forcing people to believe or do something that they don't feel comfortable with. It it would be an entirely different situation if they were spewing homophobic language at them or preventing them from going to hockey games. But but they're not. I think everyone should have the choice to live their life how they want to. And that includes religion.

I'm always trying to get educated and if you feel like I'm being offensive I do apologize. That was not my intention at all.

“I’m not trying to be offensive” but also proceeds to say that someone loving someone else is a sin?

“It’s not my place to tell you you’re wrong” I’ll just insinuate it anyway.

You’re not trying to be educated at all because you’ve come in here after reading both my own reply and my original anons stories with your mind already made up.

I don’t want to discuss this as you’re going to end up with your feelings hurt or even further offended and I for one, don’t intend to spread hate.

Unless you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community thought (which I assume by your message you’re NOT) Don’t you dare tell people who are, if they do or don’t feel welcome. That’s not up to you to decide.

[thesherrinfordfacility]

Not it, I'm afraid, but thank you! I'm not even 100% sure it was a Google Doc - I only really remember that it was something about picking apart the opening credits, I think to look for the Clues to s3.

I think Jesus/Judas parallels might be better off in the Second Coming plotline? You're right about it having to be handled extremely delicately if it shows up in context of the Fall and I've been wondering whether Crowley might not find himself quite spectacularly in the crossfire if he interferes with the Second Coming - which of course he will - and while Aziraphale would never actually betray him, I could see Heaven wanting him to. Kill him and be done with it. Or perhaps Aziraphale isn't Judas at all and someone else will or did betray Crowley? It doesn't have to be an exact allegory after all - 🧐 at Maggie - so I think I'll probably be a little suspicious of everyone, just in case.

Most, but not all - you have written a lot 😂 Although I intend to get through it all eventually! I did see someone suggest that perhaps the events of s2 are being told to us after the fact, specifically that Aziraphale and/or Crowley may be being interrogated by Heaven and/or Hell which is perhaps the explanation I could get behind the soonest, primarily because it's comparatively simple - I confess I've not been able to entirely wrap my head around your time travel spec and BoL theory is extremely complicated - and because I'm a big fan of unreliable narrators, but in general I'm not sold on any of the theories to explain the discrepancies happening, neither in terms of being convinced nor in terms of liking them - I think, whatever's happening, it'll be well pulled off, but still - but I'm increasingly convinced there is a reason. Obvious continuity errors are theoretically possible, even if it does seem strange, but you *cannot* expect me to believe that the wig getting longer was an accident. Maybe I saw it wrong, but if I didn't, it certainly didn't grow, and neither did the fake sideburns change shape on their own.

previous ask - apologies it was so long, i'll try to keep this one brief.

if anyone knows the theory/Google doc that anon is referring to, please drop a link in the replies.

oh i see what you mean now, re: judas parallel. i could definitely see how it would work, but personally i feel it would fit better pre-fall; i think aziraphale is at that stage of his character development where his allegiance - despite going to heaven - is truly on Their Side, with crowley, so i think heaven aiming to get aziraphale to betray him would feel a little redundant. whereas imo, in a pre-fall context, aziraphale is still rather firmly on the side of heaven's (or at least for the most part), which lends more weight to the present-day repurcussions of him betraying AWCW, and having to reckon with that with crowley now.

re: s2 being a retelling, yep ive seen the same, but i can't quite see at this moment what the point in that would be, unless it were to deliberately hide certain elements from the audience which will be revealed in s3... but this again comes back to my thought on whether or not that would be conducive to an effective narrative; what i mean by that is, frankly, is whether a reveal that 'it was all (ish) a lie (ish)" would cheapen the story. im personally more of an advocate for 'it was all in plain sight' kind of plot, but i may well end up eating my words. suffice to say, im not necessarily set on any theory that purposefully screws around with s2 events as we saw them, but i agree with you that the 'errors' are suspicious!!!✨

[stormy-talks]

Hello. I am the anon that sent that ask to @/our-queer-experience about otherkin being insane. I was going through the responses and saw your comment, inviting me to ask anything.

I wanted to thank you.

And. Well.

I wanted to ask, why are you all so sure that this is not a mental health condition? Because after seeing the responses from different people, I'm still not at all convinced that you all are not insane.

Someone else answered with their experience and feelings about the topic and asked me to take a moment to consider if I believe that "you all being actually insane would mean that it is alright for me to be mean to you" or something like that and, honestly? No. I do not believe that. I would never be mean to someone for being otherkin, I am not going to argue with you or try to convince you you are human, I know you are not doing anything wrong, you are not putting yourselves nor anyone else in danger, you do you, it doesn't affect me. (but I'm still going to check myself for internalized ableism anyways.)

I sent another ask after that one, I don't know if you saw it, explaining this. The thing is that I don't want to just go on with my life thinking that you all are just clinically ill people. I want to at least try to understand, at least take a moment to ask questions and listen to the answers.

I know that there is a possibility that there is not something wrong with you, maybe it is something wrong with me. And I do not like being wrong. So if that's the case, I need to know so I can fix it. Acknowledging that I am being stupid is the first step to stop being stupid.

Also like I know it is not anybody's job to educate me and it doesn't matter what I think about you and your experiences. I am nobody and you all are still worthy of respect. Me not understanding something doesn't give me the right to be an asshole about it.

I am defending myself too much lmao sorry. This ended up much longer than intended.

I just want you to know that I appreciate you wanting to take the time to answer to me and explain this stuff to me, and that I am not coming from a place of hate and I don't pretend to "win an argument."

Well, anon. If you were concerned it's a mental health condition, I would hope you'd be an advocate for people with such an experience. But, with your use of the word "insane" in conjunction with "mental health condition", then I can only imagine you do not actually choose to be an ally to people with such conditions.

Bigotry in secret is still bigotry. On the outside, you'll be accepting and amicable. But you see us as insane behind anonymity. I also wouldn't call the use of "insane" internalized ableism. You did not internalize that.

There are a number of otherkin experiences ranging from psychological to spiritual to many more. There isn't really one way to explain otherkinity and invalidating one experience invalidates them all. So I won't spare you with "But some of them aren't psychologically otherkin at all! Sometimes it's a spiritual belief!" They're all real and valid experiences.

It's no different than plurality. In fact, it all fall under the same label of alterhuman. Sometimes it's something clinical, sometimes it's something more. We all have varying experiences with our bodies and our minds, and it doesn't always feel right to consider ourselves human. Something else pulls us away from that. There's a nagging feeling that our bodies and minds just aren't suited to the human experience.

Humans are complicated, but we don't always choose to be complicated.

You had the right idea by saying that we're not hurting anyone or putting ourselves in danger. You are so very close to being on the right track. Even if for some reason it's true that we are "clinically ill", how does that change the validity of our experiences? Yes, a number of otherkin are actually otherkin because of delusions, but they are still very much welcome in the community with open arms because they have very real experiences not unlike any other such identity.

Knowing why we're otherkin, not knowing why - it doesn't have any real effect on you. You can go about your day. But for us, we don't get to just stop being us. Instead, we have to fight to explain why being human just doesn't always work. We have to explain an identity not everyone fully understands. We don't know why it happens, but it doesn't hurt us. I think if anything, it helps us better understand ourselves by leaning into it.
