MOTORSPORTS ZINE JAM!!

Calling all motorsport enthusiasts! Do you want to express and share your love for Formula 1? Or maybe you'd like to work with other creatives passionate about MotoGP? Or perhaps you want to promote a racing series like Super Formula or IMSA? This is the zine jam for you!

We (a few of us on F1twt) are hosting a digital motorsports zine jam to foster creativity in our community and would like to extend the invitation to motorsport lovers on Tumblr. All types of art for any motorsports series are welcome in this jam!

This zine jam will likely be taking place in either June or August depending on participant responses in the interest check. There are basic rules and an FAQ under the break below to learn more! We hope you join us!

Complete the interest check, whether that be participant, moderator, or just a reader! This form will close in a week!

Rules:

We don't have many rules for this jam as we want to encourage creativity and collaboration! That being said...

Hate speech of any kind (racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) will not be tolerated.

This event is SFW, and there are minors involved. Shipping content is allowed as long as it remains SFW.

Do not use Generative AI to create your works. If you are found to use GenAI you will be barred from participating now or in the future.

FAQ:

Q: What is a zine/zine jam?

A: A fanzine is a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon. A zine jam is a period of time, (in our case one month), where participants will be tasked with planning, executing, formatting, and posting a zine.

Q: Do I need zine experience to participate?

A: No! We aim to make this experience as accessible as possible and will be posting guides and resources to help with zine creation. You also do not need any experience in art, design, or writing to join this jam. We just want to encourage creating cool motorsports stuff!

Q: Is there a size/length limit to the zine I can make?

A: There are no limits! We have resources and examples that can be shared if you would like some guidance or inspiration.

Q: What if I want to make a physical zine?

A: You are absolutely allowed to make a physical zine if that would be preferable. However, as this is a digital event, we would ask that you create a zine that can be easily transferred online, whether that be taking photos or scanning and uploading your physical zine.

Q: How will communication be done for this jam?

A: Communication will be through a Discord server we are currently setting up. We will also be posting updates for Tumblr users on this sideblog. You can also keep up with general happenings on the organiser Eames' Twitter which can be found here.

Q: Why is July not an option for this zine jam?

A: Eames is really busy and hosts events for other fandoms in July. If this first round of this event goes well, we may consider moving the jam to a more accessible month.

Here is a Twitter thread with more questions that have been asked.

If you have more questions/concerns and have already filled out the form, please direct them to Eames @/porgerussell on Twitter or to their Strawpage here! As Eames is the organiser we would prefer you direct your questions to them as they would have the most complete answers. However, we are also able to respond to asks and questions on this sideblog if you really don't want to go on Twitter.

I'd like to share some information to people who enjoy emulating GBA games, especially on android. So here's the thing, I've been itchy to do online linking/multiplayer on GBA emulation, especially Pokemon games, and already spend quite some time to find both ways and people who are interested in it. Then I found an old thread in pokecommunity website saying this:

"Long story short, I have zero friends in real life, and I haven't been able to find a community for users of the GBA Emulator "MyBoy" to gather and link up. So, I figured I'd see if anyone here was interested. The purpose of this thread is to gather anyone interested in linking up on MyBoy and Trading or Battling on Gen 3. Post in here to find some partners willing to link up and have some fun :3."

Well that pretty much describes my intention almost perfectly. But that thread was years ago and already locked for comments. As far as I know, MyBoy has never be able to link you online with other people far away, at least not with the emulator alone. Simply put it can't. But there are other emulators, specifically on Android, that have their own/built-in online multiplayer for GBA games.

The main emulator I used to do online multiplayer is called Multigba S. I'm sure some or even many people here already heard about this emulator. Despite still not yet giving a really good experience in online multiplayer, I can say it's still the best way to do online multiplayer on GBA.

To simplify the reading, here's the main features of Multigba S that you need to know:

- Free/ No paywall features

- Offline/ Singleplayer mode

- LAN mode (for connecting 2 nearby devices to play multiplayer)

- Netplay/ Online Multiplayer mode (for connecting 2 devices via internet to play multiplayer, world wide, cross countries)

- Easy Netplay setup (just need to login via google, no IP address sharing)

- Build with mGBA core, the best and most compatible GBA emulator

- Player 2/guest doesn't need to have the ROM to join the host server

- Can connect 2 different games (Like Pokemon FireRed with Emerald)

- Build-in text chat when playing multiplayer

- Supports both hardware controllers and virtual/on-screen/touch based controller

- Capable to link the emulator from android to windows (with BlueStack)

The image you see is the emulator's Public Server where people find each other and available servers online. I found most Multigba S users are Spanish(?) that play Pokemon Quetzal and barely see other people that speak English that play other GBA games. From what I read and experienced, the online multiplayer requires a pretty stable connection and high-end/flagship phone specifications from player 1/host side to get a smooth/stable gameplay. You can do the online multiplayer on low-end/budget phone, it works, but the disadvantage will be felt by player 2/guest as they'll likely get lags. But alas I can finally fulfill my Pokedex and play games like Zelda 4 Swords with foreigners. I have some more interesting GBA games with multiplayer mode that I can host, both vanilla GBA games and Pokemon romhacks like Unbound and some Emerald hacks.

There is also a Discord server to gather GBA players to find each other to play multiplayer online together, also for technical supports like save file transfer, multiplayer set up and such.

ASPCA AU Masterpost

Those of @cnwolf-brainrot's wonderful Weapon By Name discord have been humoring my ASPCA thread for over two weeks now. I figured it might be good to make a masterpost on here as well.

The basic gist of the AU:

Mystique is less discerning where she drops off her attacker at the beginning of Weapon By Name. Thus, Kurt finds himself at an ASPCA. Things proceed from there.

Notes:

Not everything from the Discord will be transferred since not everything is transferable (generally not long enough, not mine, connected to things which aren't mine, etc).

There are events which have been written multiple times. This is not a mistake, I just like writing these scenes.

If any of these scenes contradict each other, that's okay. I'm just doing this for fun. Sometimes I ignore things I wrote before for one reason or another. This means you get to pick and choose too.

The timeline is loose. I've ordered it as best I can, but these aren't written in chronological order so it's hard to organize. Things may be retconned.

Most ending options are not compatible with one another (eg. anything below one bold ending section is not compatible with that below another bold ending section)

This may not be maintained.

General Content Warnings:

Dehumanization, manhandling, restraints, some illness, injury, non-consensual drug use (sedation)

there was something about the club that gave her a thrill like nothing else. maybe it was the clientele, none of them seemed be what they attempted to showcase to the world. everyone gave off the impression that they were hiding something, escaping from something…but then wasn’t persephone too? she was escaping from the mundane tasks left to her at the family shop, needing a distraction after a long day. or maybe it was the atmosphere that drew her to club, the danger of it that somehow granted freedom at the same time. the reality of it though, the real reason behind her draw to the club…was it’s owner. even if she was avoiding him in fear of being tossed out. ever since she’d met him, persephone had been all but forbidden from coming into the club…and yet that just tempted her more. when a familiar figure approached her, the young woman had half a mind to try and run, but she knew she wouldn’t make it far. a shrug lifted her shoulders as she offered a meek smirk. “get away with what?” persephone asked coyly, expression one of faux innocence. “it sounded like a good plan in theory, now in retrospect i’m starting to realize that it was a tad flawed.” she joked, smirk turning a touch more flirty.

𝔬𝔭𝔢𝔫 𝔱𝔬: f. 𝔭𝔩𝔬𝔱: just some modern m.ythology things. basically h.ades owns the u.nderworld, a dangerous but popular nightclub that is a front for sh.ady / cr.iminal activities that his family are involved in. your muse, who h.ades has a secret thing for / is related to / is involved with, is hanging out at said club which he does not approve of…until they go back to his office and he sees the value of having them around, if ykwim. 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔫𝔢𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫: anything welcome. reinterpretations of characters from g.reek m.ythology preferred. do not like this starter.

wasn’t often that the owner ventured out into the chaotic throes of the club — preferred instead to survey the cameras and handle the empire from the comfortable confines of his back office — but when some under the table business goes wrong and a fight broke out between two of his men, it was up to him to smooth things over before the authorities became involved and this whole operation became threatened. it was while the male was heading back after successfully handling the situation that he spotted them, nestled discreetly among the group of the usual gatherers frequenting the establishment week after week. a discontented sigh to himself, marching through the patrons to stand before the subject in question. ❝ you almost got away with it, ❞ features stoic but voice dripped disappointment, ❝ were you going to hide away and try to avoid me seeing you all night? ❞

hi! ive listened to some of chonny jash's songs but did not realize that there was really a story? Or i vaguely knew but didn't have the time/energy to get into it and with the release of the bidding animation ive realized theres like a bajillion awesome animations and art and i want to get into cccc but have no clue how. also why does soul have a trident.

OH man!

The story of CCCC has an overall seeming narrative, but much of it's smaller points are interpretive due to Jash himself leaving it up to fans of the album. But! Overall it kind of goes like:

-Jash or, what most people call Whole, splits as due to mental dissonance and waning mental health. (Time Machine Reprise).

- Whole fades into Soul (End of TMR into Dream) and from there its Mucka Blucka as a sort of introductory song. The recap for a story you have or haven't heard yet.

- (The entire album is a time loop! Which is a big metaphor for the cycles of mental health and illness people go through.)

- From there its the section called "Cacophony" which starts off with Soul, but eventually it turns to Heart and Mind + their fighting and inability to see or listen to one another or their points of view. Of course, as Logic and Emotion, they both have valid ideas or opinions, but believe themselves so contradictory that the other must be evil or out to get them.

- Heart attempts to shoot Mind, as referred to in Ruler of Everything. Literal or Metaphorical as you take this, it is seemingly symbolic for an attempt at one's own life if not self sabotage. If not then both.

- The rest up until Soul Eclectic is sort of just the Mind and Heart fighting and their own personal views each on the situation.

- Soul in The Soul Eclectic reaches his breaking point. Threatening to kill them all (A more direct attempt at suicide)

- Mind and Heart in the subsequent songs decide to get their shit together.

- (Two Wuv) Soul realizes that not only can they be happier now but that trying to force themselves to conform to society's ideas of mental health or belief or love is just plainly unbeneficial. Sort of a song about unapologetically being yourself.

- Welcome To Tally Hall is a tribute to Tally Hall themselves more than anything.

- This transfers into Concord soon after! Concord is Whole or Jash by himself, though many of the songs seem to carry themes from Cacophony in them. Self sabotage, disagreement, importance placed on the wrong thing, the idea that no one person is better off than another. It concludes with Taken for a Ride. Which is also sort of CJ's epic "im burnt out as hell" song towards the end. But exaggerated to my knowledge for lyrical shenanigans.

That is CCCC as neutrally told as best as possible. I highly recommend forming your own ideas on it, but I'd be happy to also discuss more in depth my opinion on each song should you or anyone else express interest!

Getting into the Trident: The fandom took the metaphor of "Tridential Sovreignty" and "This trident he formed (found? Lyrics.) is both weapon and motive" and said "Soul's got a trident" to which Jash responded with "Absolutely yes he does now" Same with the crown most people put Mind in, and that is referenced in the "Trident, Crown and Blindfold" line.

Soul really did get noose imagery, a trident and a mask. All Heart n Mind got were a blindfold and crown. Lmao

Though Heart is also commonly drawn with wings. Which is semi-canonical according to album covers. I choose to ignore them because I don't particularly have an attachment to the idea!

Getting into the fandom itself, I can recommend looking around for the Chonny Jash Fan Server (CJFS) Discord link. But it can be extremely intimidating and even I just stick to discussion and one other thread channel. (Sides from my au channels which pop up every once a month or so).

Important note is that only Tally Hall covers have to do with HMS. Any of Jash's other music (of which I highly recommend, always) is unrelated. There is also a fan QnA somewhere that was done like a year ago now which has some neat answers in it.

I, again, am happy to go into my interpretations of HMS and the music as a whole but skdmsm saved you the reading hopefully should that be undesired!

🌟30+ F 🌟 EST seeking others 25+ for an OCxOC slice of life thread. I am really wanting something that's filled with the traditional anime shoujo clichés, things like: one is a new transfer student, Muse A saves Muse B from an uncomfortable encounter, one has a troubled past or poor home life, sunshine and grumpy muse ship, etc etc (these will be decided upon between us)

I personally want to play a M!OC (dom) against your OC, M or F, I don't mind either. Muses can be late high school 🍪 or in university, so please let me know what you are comfortable with.

Writing will take place on discord, no tupperbox as I am too simple a soul for that. I am an advanced lit writer and I can range from multipara to novella depending on content and plot. I am seeking someone who is willing to work on a slow burn thread with replies being twice a week depending on length. I do like to talk ooc, and share cute aesthetics and pinboard content. I am looking to make friends with whoever i write with, so if that's not for you then please don't answer the ad.

I would prefer serious inquiries only. Leave a like on the post and I'll send a DM 💛

**also, don't be afraid to ask for a taboo topics, no judgement here

give a like and anon will get back to you

In celebration of our one year anniversary the admins and mods and I have decided to give a rundown of the history of Eden’s Rest, our sleep token fan made discord server.

Today, on December 26th, the server was born created by two fans with the intent on building a fan hang out place for people 18+. I was one of the first few to join on day one, after that people began flooding in. It seemed like every day someone new would join. We had many on topic and off topic channels to chat in ranging from fashion, art, other music, to dream journaling and spirituality.

Some of you may remember my rants earlier in the year about Tuesday being related to sleep token. We have @toobluebirdie , a fellow friend in the server, to thank for the deep dive rabbit hole they did connecting links that likely made us look crazy back in January-February. We still go crazy any time sleep token does anything on a Tuesday. One of the fun things to come of this server.

Unfortunately it seemed like things quickly came to an end when the previous server owners one day transferred everything over to a different friend in the server. Leaving without a word of warning, the server was wiped in seemingly random places. Our bots were gone, channels were randomly missing/deleted, and every single channel that remained was empty. In a desperate attempt to get things back to normal, I tried figuring out how bots work on discord (which ended horribly), but thanks to @comp-lady , whole spent hours rebuilding our server from the ground up. She knew how to use the bots and had experience in managing servers. The Wipening, as we call it, left us anxious and traumatized. A whole thread for fics was gone, important pins, gone, but we built it back up with what we could.

Despite the stress that came with The Wipening, a more notable event that we enjoy to share is one you may have seen a while back as well. Two of our fellow friends had experienced homelessness for months, as if anything couldn’t get worse, each day seemed to be another problem and stress for them. Living at their camp was becoming increasingly dangerous. With the help of our server and friends, a plan was made to get them somewhere safe, to get them out, and a gofundme was made to help fund their travel. They quickly met their goal and had moved in to a friend in the servers home with the help of another friend who drove them there. Our server and fellow fans and people in between helped get our friends to a safer place, helped get them out of homelessness.

Though we have faced difficulties in the past, we have built a wonderful and safe place for Sleep Token fans to interact with fellow fans. I’m glad to say that I’ve made friends in this server, I’m glad to say I’m willing to fight to keep this server alive.

And so I ask you, as long as you are 18+ (mind you this is an adult space), are you interested in joining us and celebrating our second coming year as part of Eden’s Rest?

Do you have any tips on how to make CC for beginners? Your stuff has inspired me a lot but idk where to start!! >~<

Hey nonny! I'm so happy you're inspired to make cc.

One of my greatest resources as someone that learns better with written tutorials than videos, is the full index of sims4studio tutorials. It looks a little overwhelming at first, but just take things one link at a time. Also, whenever I have a problem, I usually google whatever my problem is along with "sims4studio", and a helpful thread usually pops up.

The threads I return to very often are:

Weight transfer tutorial

UV_1 tutorial

It's slightly more advanced, but if something's fucky and you can't figure out what, chances are it's the weights or the UV_1. So I would learn about those pretty early on (after looking at the more basic tutorials of course). Also, always remember to remove those doubles! (You'll know what I mean when you follow the tutorials, ha)

Anywho, here's a few more resources that I and others in my discord server have found useful for just starting out:

@thefoxburyinstitute tutorial blog

cc making for beginners video tutorial by @powluna

cc tutorial by @myshunosun

written hair tutorial (part 1/part 2) by @simandy

For general advice, I'd recommend to take things very slowly, one step at a time, one project at a time, until you feel more comfortable. There's a teeny bit of a learning curve at first, if you've never touched blender or any image editing software before- but once you've got the hang of things, you're pretty much golden. Also, it may take a little bit to discover what you like making most. For example, I like making hair a lot, but clothing irks me. Some people love clothing and hate hair lol. So if you start off on one thing and find yourself hating it, don't be afraid to drop it completely and try something else. Every project you try is never a waste, even if you don't finish it, it's all teaching you something and building your familiarity with the process.

If you have any detailed questions, don't be afraid to come back and ask me! I'll help with whatever I can. Good luck, nonny 💜

Sorry we're discussing filegarden sm, I promise this is the last post lol

Huge post be aware!!

We just want to share info from their bluesky, if anyone has info from their discord we absolutely would appreciate that however we aren't in their server [nor can we join any whoops] We also decided to add more information about GoDaddy, which is where the ".garden" domain filegarden uses comes from.

Here [link] is a link to their bluesky account if anyone needs it

The first three posts are from Febuary 11th @ 9:54 [am]. The resg are Febuary 12th @ 15:35 / 3:35pm

"The file.garden domain is currently down. The website (filegarden.com) and all files are fine, but direct links are inaccessible. The issue seems to be on Cloudflare's end (our domain provider). I contacted them and will post as soon as they reply. Unfortunately the average response time is 3 days."

"Cloudflare has confirmed they blocked the domain intentionally, and they did not notify me of this or provide any explanation. I submitted a request to get it unblocked and asked for further details. More updates to come."

"No response yet, but I completed a domain transfer from Cloudflare to Porkbun and can now begin restoring the domain's functionality. We relied on Cloudflare for some of our infrastructure, so replacing that may take some time. Rest assured that all will be restored. Thank you for your support. :)"

"The domain is still inaccessible on Porkbun's DNS, so Cloudflare likely misunderstood the situation and was wrong to take blame (fortunately). The issue is likely on the .garden registry's end instead (unfortunately), which is owned by GoDaddy. I contacted GoDaddy and Porkbun and will update you."

"GoDaddy confirmed they blocked file.garden for violating TLD community guidelines. This is the first I'm hearing of this, and they aren't clarifying how their guidelines were violated. They say our registrar Porkbun is responsible for appealing the block, so I'm in contact with them now."

There are also these two posts from Febuary 13th @ 18:34 / 6:34pm and 18:25 / 6:25pm respectively with the second being a reply to a user who asked "do you know how much longer it'll be till its back up ?"

"The Cloudflare support agent mistakenly confirmed they blocked the domain itself, when in reality they only blocked two individual user-uploaded files for containing abusive content. They conflated these two unrelated issues. Cloudflare hasn't wronged us other than by giving inaccurate support."

"There is no way to be sure unfortunately. We're posting more frequent minor updates on our Discord server, in case you'd like to keep track of everything going on with this case in more detail: filegarden.com/discord"

Now, I did want to discuss a bit about what a "TLD" is , a TLD is a top level domain, so urls are actually right to left. As an example "file.garden" is top level domain ".garden" This TLD , in the case of filegarden , comes from GoDaddy. I'll link their TLD policy page that shows when you look to "garden" [link].

Now GoDaddy doesn't have a good reputation, primarily with customers after they've bought their domain, with the common complaint being their customer service is awful. Heres a Reddit thread [link] we found, obviously not gospel but it does share a lot of the exact same points, ones we see within FileGarden, which is no communication from the people who work within GoDaddy about what happened and heres one going over information about pricing. 'Okay well those are old posts now' those posts are 2 and 3 yrs old respectively, however heres a post [link] from 6 months ago, another [link] from 4 months ago and also this one , discussing their trustpilot [link], from 3/4 months ago. 'Those are reddit posts tho people are biased' yes, they are reddit posts, hence why we say do not treat them as gospel, however isn't it weird everyone has the same problems? Slow site , pricing is really high compared to others, poor communication, ect. Another personal experience [link], which in this one they had to go through hoops for a refund of 4025$ USD. "I placed the pre-registration of the domain name and it costed about USD $4025. And, after placing the order the amount was deducted from my account. However soon I realized that renewal would not be at the base price but again have to pay the premium, which is not what was expected. I reached out to GoDaddy support and requested them to cancel my pre-registration. They suggested me to reached out after 14 days when the domain registration is done and then they will cancel the domain registration and do the refund."

'Why would they have a good rating if they're so bad though??' They're heavily promoted, and many people who haven't made a site before often don't know much about it or what options they may have. No domain hoster will be perfect , keep this in mind, even Cloudflare has problems of its own.

Lets look at their trust pilot , as much as I don't care heavily for it many people look there, I'll share some 1 star , 3 star and 5 star reviews, specifically the newest 3 available as most are within the last day [minus 3 stars which are older , I also skipped one as it was either a joke or wrong company.] You will notice some reviews say "invited" , all this means [per trustpilots website] "A review that's marked “Invited” indicates that the business invited the reviewer to write it by sharing a link leading directly to their review form." link

Review 1: "On advice from a Guide I purchased a migration package and was told I needed it to avoid any issues when migrating my website from wordpress to GoDaddy. They failed to complete a successful migration, insisted it was not a guarantee, and collected my $200 fee. Used to be a fan, NO MORE, will move my business else ware. BEWARE!"

Review 2: "Just Avoid At All Costs. Terrible Company. Useless Customer service. They force you into upgrading. Free plan worked for my website great until they decided to push me into buying a plan. They limited my access to many sections of my website. And their useless customer service just wasted my time. I can't have this anymore. I'm moving my domain and website to another host." Review 3: "I removed all the cards to avoid any kid of payment to godaddy because I had previous issues with them. They don't care, and charged me again using my paypal account, which I can't remove from their panel. They literally steal hundreds the euros from me using different techniques like this one, so terrible company"

3 star ;

Review 1: "GoDaddy's call center expertise has always been swift, very intuitive and prompt. Unfortunately, GoDaddy has moved their call center off-shore (India, I presume). The gentleman was helpful to the point that he directed me to Hosting, after approximately an hour on the phone. His English was ok but hard to understand, as he investigated my issue, asked direction from his supervisor, and eventually sent me back to the US. The tech in Hosting was helpful and has submitted my code change to be completed within 72 hours."

Review 2: "GoDaddy talked the talk and at the time seemed like a good idea to pay for them to build me a website. I paid the amount in full over £1600 Which I thought was very reasonable. After half hour I decided that I’d made a mistake and basically had “buyers remorse” so called customer service to cancel the product and get a refund. They said it would have to be sent for “review “ and that I would get an email within 3 days. Didn’t hear from them so called again and again they said they would send for “review “ I asked them if they could email me proof that I had asked for a refund but they said they couldn’t send an email confirming this and that I had to wait for it to be reviewed. I still didn’t hear back so after a further 3 days I called again only to be told the same thing again only this time they cancelled the product as apparently they can’t refund until the product has been taken off . Why wasn’t I told this previously? Again they said they couldn’t send an email to confirm I had asked for a refund etc but once it had gone for “review “ ( a third time ) i would receive an email confirming the refund within 3 days So after approximately two hours of phone calls and 12 days later I finally received a refund so thank you for that. But I would have thought a company that deals in websites surly could have sent me an email confirming that I’d cancelled the product ."

Review 3: "Takes long to upload videos and very limited space , they make you buy storage to upload more videos"

5 star;

Review 1: "As someone who has minimal "tech" skills, I get very agitated and frustrated by tech issues. Mario, the person I worked with to resolve my issue, could not have been more patient, more kind nor more helpful. He not only assuaged my fears, he did it with kindness and patience. It was a huge issue to me and to my company so my appreciation for how he helped cannot be under-exaggerated. I am most grateful."

Review 2: "Jason was really helpful and resolved my issue. He even called me back because I had to do something. I told him I was not proficient with websites and he was really understanding. My overall experience with Jason and Godaddy has been exceptional! I will definately tell anyone who is planning on getting a website to use Godaddy as they provide the best customer support! Thanks!"

Review 3: "I have been working with GoDaddy for over ten years and I must say your team gets better and better when it comes to service and support. The representative, Scooter I spoke with today went above and beyond in every aspect. He was super kind, patient, and innovative when it came to suggestions on how to help me. I'm very grateful for your kind words and help Scooter. Thank you! VV"

Why don't we trust, trustpilot? Fake reviews. Thats the simple answer. Sadly as most companies, they are "allowed" often due to a high payment, with fake reviews they often have little commentary to what they're reviewing, or what they say doesn't make much sense to what they're reviewing. We personally say , regardless of what site you use , look to 2-4 star reviews first as they do tend to be the most honest , 1 star reviews can be user error or something else so always pay attention. Every review needs a grain of salt to it because companies do pay for good reviews [we are NOT saying GoDaddy does this]. We also barely trust influencer reviews, Honey is a very good example of why. From r/outoftheloop [link] "Are YouTube content creators being scammed? Are watchers getting scammed? Who is this affecting?" "Answer: The Honey App is advertised as an extension that will automatically search coupon codes for you when you are doing some online shopping. Well, there has been investigations into the extension, and they are not being as honest as they are saying. One if you click on an affiliate link from a creator to buy something, they will sometimes get credit or a commission for you purchasing that Item. However, if you scan it with honey, honey will reload the web page so they get the commission. Two: Honey will say "We scoured the internet and found you 5 codes" well, they don't actually search the internet, what is actually happening is the seller of the item chooses what coupon codes honey can use. So you you may actually be able to find a better coupon code if not using honey." Honey , a browser extention which claims to find the best codes, also happens to be owned by PayPal, a company known for not having a great reputation , post from r/paypal [link] and also ttrustpilots reviews.

Just because a website has a "good reputation" does not mean they are trustworthy. We've seen this quite a few times now, I mean so many youtuber promoted products haven't actually been good or reliable, such as betterhelp , but it holds a "good" reputation because of youtubers and possibly false reviews regardless of if its truely "good".

I'm sorry for the yapping, we wanted to try and explain what we knew about this situation , as someone who uses filegarden quite frequently.

Two days later, her brother approached her while she was doing her daily prayers. She stood her ground when he scolded her for helping Philza releasing those souls he "rightfully claimed".

Angela didn't feel comfortable with the situation but explained how it wasn't okay to horde souls from several cycles.

Ash wasn't going to stand for it and instead of channeling his anger at Philza, he placed the blame on his sister. He didn't think twice before attacking her.

Thankfully, one of Philza's crows was nearby and he was able to intercept just before she took serious damage.

Ironically though, Ash was willing to harm himself to get his revenge. So few knew, but there was a spiritual connection between Ash and Angela. There were strong emotions and pains they shared as if it were their own.

Unbeknownst to them, God's First Creation. Mother, was keeping an eye on the fight.

Philza, having power and higher angelic rank over Ash, did the one thing Angela's brother didn't think could happen.

He severed the connection between Angela and Ash. Thus, leaving Angela's brother free game for Philza to fight.

Their fight was sloppy, Philza humiliating him with his poor sword swipes.

Mid fight, however, Mother spoke into his mind and made a deal with Ash. In exchange for power to have an edge in the battle, he would have to sacrifice an eye.

Feeling honored by the offer, Ash accepted without thinking twice.

Ash had the advantage for a brief amount of time but it didn't last long, as Philza got the better of Ash, even after his deal.

It was only due to Angela that Ash was spared from Philza's scythe, as she stepped between the two of them.

Wishing to keep his dignity, Ash admitted defeat and left.

Chasing Summer Skies by and with rainepaige08

I am Alexio Sospranio and you’re listening to the kaisoo fic podcast!

For new listeners welcome, welcome to the show. The kaisoo fic podcast is a space where we discuss literature found in the kaisoo world. Where we have authors on the show to give them a platform to talk about their writings and journey as an author in the fandom. 

This episode there will be some reference to the previous episode with rainepaige08. If you have not, do check that episode out as well, but this episode can also be a stand alone episode, just that listeners who have gone through the previous episode with Raine will be able to see more or less where we are coming from. Raine is also the very first guest we had on the show, so having this episode together again is very meaningful. 

Without further ado, ladies and gays and of the like, let us give a warm welcome to Ms Raine Paige!

Welcome Raine, thank you for becoming a returning guest on the kaisoo fic podcast show. We are very pleased to have you with us this evening.

Before we begin proper, do you have any opening comments you would like to make?

Thank you for having me here again and hopefully I’m more relaxed now than last time.

Pleasure is mine, i know we are more comfortable now that we have talked a bit more both on the twitter dms and discord voice chats, so I do agree that this episode will be more enjoyable as well. 

Raine. yes? Shall we dive into the episode! We shall! We start with the fic.

Intro to Fic

Chasing Summer Skies is celebrating its 5th year anniversary since it was first posted. Congratulations on that Raine! Chasing Summer Skies is an ongoing, currently at the point of recording it has 11k words in 3 chapters on ao3. For those eager to go through the fic, it is complete as a tweetfic on Raine’s twitter account, rainepaige08.

I think what is really precious about moving tweetfics to ao3 is that there seems to be more flexibility and leeway for there to be commentary on the setting, premise and perspectives. Mainly because of the word limit on each tweet, you are sort of confined to the few sentences. So first question of the evening, I would like to hear from you and your choice of transferring your Chasing Summer Skies to ao3. Why did you make the decision to move?

In the past, the decision was just to transfer it word per word from the tweetfic for me to have a copy of my story since it is hard to scroll on the app. But I tried to reread it and with the improvements on my writing over the course of 5 years, I realized there are scenes I could have written better hence why new narrations are added.

Indeed it is hard to scroll on the app. Fic reading becomes more satisfying and the storyline becomes more put together in full potential on ao3 as compared to it being as tweetfics. But being on the app does have its merits as well, especially in gaining reactions and ending each update on the thread with a cliffhanger that makes readers eager to read the next update.

Our first episode together you mentioned you’ve been writing since your first year in collage back in 2011. So that brings us to you writing for a good 13 years. Have any other of your fics been rewritten with an updated plot as well? 

A Familiar Face, which is the CEO AU, was also rewritten and new narrations were added but not to this extent. Maybe I just felt this itch when I am rereading the tweetfic after 5yrs that I want the scenes to be more vivid and their feelings to be expressed more.

Ah yes, Familiar Face, of course! 

As a reader, okay ill speak for myself, this fic is hard to forget. And to me it is very heartwarming to know that you still love it enough to rewrite scenes and breathe new and more life into it.

Let’s continue by talking about the tweetfic, the plot breakdown or the events that happened in the fic.

Raine, would you like to briefly talk a bit on the fic for those who may not be familiar?

Chasing Summer Skies is a story about Jongin, an event photographer and Kyungsoo, a wedding coordinator who met during Summer and had a summer love affair. However, what they didn’t know is that Jongin's girlfriend is Kyungsoo’s sister which he would eventually help plan the wedding.

What a premise to start with… by itself, even without knowing too much of the plot, you know it is gonna be angst and heartache. The question is how deep are we getting into it. More of that in a bit. 

So in the first few scenes, what brings our two lovers together?

It starts with Kyungsoo finding out that his room was double booked and now occupied. But suddenly a stranger approached him and by weird fate; it was the person staying in his room. The man introduced himself as Jongin and offered that they share the room instead. That’s the starting point of how they spent the summer together and got to know each other, to which they would eventually fall in love during the short trip. 

Pacing and Difference between the tweetfic n ao3

Things happen in the fic quite quickly, so much so that Kyungsoo asks himself, i quote:  “Could you fall in love with someone you only met for a week?” He knows the answer but just doesn't want to admit it. With that, will the pacing change now that you're moving it to ao3? Or maybe let me rephrase - generally what is the biggest thing that readers will see differently in this 5th year anniversary of Chasing Summer Skies?

The pacing of how they fell in love would still be fast, since I wanted the readers to doubt too if it was possible to genuinely fall in love with someone in just a few weeks. I like how it begs the question if it was just a spur of the moment thing or not. What the readers will see differently in this version is how Jongin’s and Kyungsoo’s connection were built. I mentioned in one of my posts that I want to build up their happy moments before the chaos would start. So, there would be additional scenes to watch out for. 

Okay good good we as readers do want to see more happy kaisoo moments. Even in the tweetfic we have happy moments in the beginning… but then after Kyungsoo’s return from the vacation, it drastically turns to, i quote what Min says in the very end of the fic that she saw the yearning, love and sadness combined when they would look at each other. 

Inspiration

Now having brought up Min, a question Raine, when you first thought of the fic, what was the very first relationship dynamic you had in mind or a scene that popped as inspiration in your head? Was it Jongin and Min’s relationship or the summer fling or could be neither of the options.

My first thought was “i want a kaisoo but one of them is in a relationship” so like an infidelity fic since I want to challenge myself to something more…controversial? questionable?. Since I think the plot of Infidelity is something that is being frowned upon until now. 

Next that I thought of is Min being Kyungsoo’s twin but I think there are already a lot of fics with that concept so I decided for her to be his sister instead. After that, I thought of a way for them to have a connection. I don’t want the connection that Kaisoo has to be on the summer trip so that’s when I thought of a videographer and an event coordinator and Kyungsoo being Min’s brother, she would definitely ask help plan her and Jongin’s wedding

Infidelity.

Min Kyungsoo’s twin? No, too many twins written. Someone very close to Kyungsoo.

Job connection

Min connection to Jongn

Connection to not be just as a summer fling

Kyungsoo be Min’s brother who happens to be a wedding planner for Min and Jongin’s wedding so that

Kyungsoo can still be in the picture

Similar question to the one I just asked on inspiration because I do want to know a bit more on your author’s choice. When you start a story, how much is already figured out? I will break this question into two sections, one for the tweetfic and one for the ao3 version. 

Inspiration - tweetfic (breakdown while writing for plot)

In our previous episode you mentioned that you had the start and ending in mind specifically for the CEO AU and this fic. As you were writing the tweetfic, what kind of outline did you have or were you exploring their backgrounds, relationship dynamics and oncoming conflicts at the same time as you write?

It was quite different from the CEO AU since I only have the start in mind and up until Chanyeol was introduced. I also have in mind what the ending is and the character’s relationship dynamics and major conflicts. but everything after that point, I would then gauge the reader’s reaction on the twitfic. Part of it was actually if the fic would still be a kaisoo end game or would it change to chansoo since there are a handful of readers that are question the flow of the story at the middle.

What was in mind was just the beginning of the fic to the first time Chanyeol was introduced. And the ending. Possible relationship dynamics and major conflicts. 

Because it was a tweetfic and there are live reactions, it is a good gauge of their feedback. There was a point where readers started to question if the fic was going to change to chansoo end game, which got some readers fired up and questioning. 

What were those relationship dynamics or conflicts that you prioritized to push the plot?

though i did get a lot of feedbacks from people, I still decided on a kaisoo ending. Another would be the decision to push through with Min and Jongin getting married. 

In the tweetfic version of Chasing Summer Skies, were there any specific moments you wanted to see expanded on or did you see potential generally throughout the fic that you thought could be explored in more detail?

What I noticed first is how little are Jongin’s pov on the fic so I wanted to build Jongin’s character at the start since I think that’s the portion I failed to expound on the tweetfic since it is mostly Kyungsoo’s pov. Wanted to expand on Jongin’s POV because there were a lot of negative views on Jongin. Did not to justice to why Jongin did certain things to kaisoo’s relationship because it was mainly Kyungsoo’s POV so there was no insights to Jongin’s actions.

We do indeed see more of Jongin’s POV already in the first chapter where he goes out for his run and admires Kyungsoo’s sleeping face. 

Another portion I wanted to expound on is chansoo’s relationship and the difference between Kyungsoo when he is with Jongin vs with Chanyeol. 

That is a lot of moments for us to discover, we are very excited for that.

Inspiration - ao3 (develop scrapped or new plot devices)

You did mention in our previous episode that you had the start and ending in mind but changed the scenes halfway and even scrapped some ideas. With you now transferring the fic on ao3, are you planning to develop all the scenes you scraped in the tweetfic or are there new points of the narrative you would like to bring to the readers? 

One scene I scraped which was added is Kyungsoo visiting Jongin’s workroom (this would be updated this week). It would give the readers a little backstory for Jongin and how he loves his work. 

Min “photography is a hobby” but as Kyungsoo visits Jongin in his workroom, readers get to see that Jongin genuinely loves his job.

When you mentioned you will be adding how readers will see Jongin loving his job and Kyungsoo witnessing it, I don't know why but a moment that comes to mind is a scene a week before the wedding. Min invites Kyungsoo to her birthday dinner where Jongin defends Kyungsoo against his homophobic father. Somehow thinking about the dinner scene, and hopefully when reading this new scene, we get to see how kaisoo are able to relate to each other on a very vulnerable level. They feel like they are both misunderstood and undervalued. Kyungsoo with his father’s disapproval and Min’s distaste towards Jongin’s work. 

Another new scene would be with chansoo since before I am scared of building up their part in the story since I know most of my readers have preference over kaisoo, but I feel like that scene would be essential to add. 

For the plot, I definitely do agree that chansoo moments are essential to add. Right now with the tweetfic it may seem like just kaisoo moments with a sprinkle of chansoo. The nature of this fic… it is heavy angst for kaisoo, it would definitely be nice to see more light hearted moments for chansoo to balance things out. Because we were hinted at the fact that chansoo do spend a lot of time together, so it is definitely important to add.

I will talk more about kaisoo vs other ships in fics on the next episode for the one year anniversary of the podcast because this is something I'm passionate about, basically championing for fic writers. But for now i would just like to say that it is sad to know that people have a strong preference for kaisoo so much so that they will not accept any other pairing… But it is for the plot… Having as you said, Raine wants to expound on the difference between Kyungsoo when he is with Jongin vs when he is with Chanyeol. Chansoo’s dynamics is dramatically significant to bring the plot forward. And it also makes kaisoo’s relationship all the more precious and important for Kyungsoo.

Impact

The things that happen between Kyungsoo’s return and Min’s passing, can be quite… distressing. Mainly because there are many times where we readers… okay for me at least, would want closure for Kyungsoo, but then a misstep happens. They fall back on each other, then they are back to square one again where Jongin is with Min and Kyungsoo is heartbroken. It is very anxiety inducing because how many times can his heart take this sting of rejection only to be met with desperation to want to love and be loved again? That is my feelings as a reader, but share with us how writing out these scenes impact you in any way? 

I can actually still recall how emotional I felt writing those scenes. and as a person who easily cries, yes I am crying while writing most of those scenes. I wanted the emotions to be felt through the words and I wanted the readers to feel the same frustration that Kyungsoo feels as his heart is being pushed and pulled and played over and over again. I want every heartache to feel raw and relatable.

You want every heartache to feel raw and relatable, Raine, what insights have you gained upon writing Chasing Summer Skies?

I learned from this fic that I love writing emotional scenes. Emotional struggle of the characters. I also started to build more complex characters like Jongin that there are reasons why people did what they did. 

I like that, the emotional struggle where there are complex human emotions. It is true to life. There are choices taken because of miscalculated steps and different priorities. 

People disagreed with what Jongin did, but I also learned to not be pressured by expectations of the readers and to stick to your end goal. 

The main struggle I had was with chansoo’s relationship. On the surface level they may seem happy, but if you dig deeper, we see that there are different types of love and you meet people at a certain part of your life to help you navigate through it. I think that is what Chanyeol is to Kyungsoo. He made Kyungsoo feel safe. He was the one who tried to push Kyungsoo forward when he was lost. 

But at the same time, you see Kyungsoo going back to Jongin over and over again and at some point Chanyeol realized that needed to be the one to put an end to their relationship. 

Chanyeol’s intention on sticking around Kyungsoo was to put a genuine smile back on Kyungsoo’s face. But I sometimes cannot believe that they almost got married, but again, as you said, different types of love. With Chanyeol it is always safe, but it was not the love that Kyungsoo wanted. Chanyeol needed to be the one to end things especially after it was confirmed through Baekhyun’s intervention that Kyungsoo does not love Chanyeol.

What scene are you most excited for readers to read? If you have, could you read to us listeners a snippet of it?

The extract i will be reading is the part of the wedding in Kyungsoo’s POV

The music played and Kyungsoo watched as Jongin walked towards where the officiant was.

Just one look. Just look at me once, Jongin, and it would be my cue to stop this. Please..

Kyungsoo told himself as the other entourage walked on the aisle. It was Min's turn and Kyungsoo fought the urge to look away as he saw Jongin smiling at his bride.

The ceremony started and the couple exchanged their vows, but Kyungsoo still waited.He still hoped for that sign. For that one glance from Jongin.

But it never came.

The ceremony was concluded and Jongin and Min are now announced as husband and wife.

But Kyungsoo still waited.

Until the reception, Kyungsoo's eyes never left Jongin. Even when Chanyeol checked if he's okay, he still stared at him. Hoping, still hoping, that Jongin would look his way. 

The reception was about to end with Min and Jongin leaving for their honeymoon.

Kyungsoo finally gave up.

He said thank you to his assistant and said sorry that he needs to leave the venue. He walked towards Chanyeol and tapped the man's shoulder. The musician looked at him and nodded as he already knew what it meant.

As Kyungsoo walked towards the hotel, he failed to see Jongin looking back at him before the man left.

One last look.

I want to repeat this line for my own sake because it is just devastating: Kyungsoo fought the urge to look away as he saw Jongin smiling at his bride.

A very definitive moment for Kyungsoo happens right before the extract you just read, where chansoo are in the hotel and Chanyeol comforts Kyungsoo by saying he does not have to be at the ceremony, but Kyungsoo persists on and says: "No. I want him to take that path while knowing I am there witnessing it. That even after knowing that it would shatter me, he would still do it."

That moment is an example of how their love is a love at the wrong time. 

Yea, and this happens after Kyungsoo’s proposal to: "Meet me at the airport at 4am tomorrow. I'll book a flight. I'll do anything. I'll find a way to escape."

Kyungsoo looked at Jongin's eyes and held his cheek as he added,

"Just say yes."

This is his final ace. The last card that Kyungsoo could gamble on.

Raine, what a line… what a moment, desperate but hopeful Kyungsoo… it is too hard to read. 

It shows that Kyungsoo did all that he can for Jongin to pick him… despite all that, Jongin still chose to be with Min. 

And hence Kyungsoo is persistently fighting the urge to look away from Jongin because he wants Jongin to take the path knowing that it will shatter Kyungsoo’s whole being. And Min knows that. Wait no she knew after they got married and when Kyungsoo left the country. When Jongin heard that Kyungsoo left, he broke down and told Min everything about their relationship. 

I just want to remind readers that Min understands why Kyungsoo wants to stop the wedding but she also knows that Kyungsoo will choose Min’s happiness because she is the only one that understands him in their family. 

Thank you for sharing, i think I speak for listening readers that we are very eager and excited to read that point in the narrative when it comes.

What is your favorite comment of all time, something you always think about when you're in a lull and unmotivated to write?

“It’s been quite some time since I last delved into the world of Kaisoo fanfiction, but recently, I stumbled upon this latest work of yours. As I immersed myself in your storytelling once again, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia wash over me. Your writing still carries the same emotional depth and authenticity that first captivated me years ago.

Your fanfictions always hit me right in the feels, and reading this fanfic (eventho it’s an angst) made me miss Kaisoo even more. I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing stories you’ve shared over the years. You’ve got serious talent!”

Before we end things, dear Raine, do you have any other comments or running thoughts we did not cover today you want to share with us listeners?

It was really nice to be able to talk about this fic after 5 yrs as I think it was one of my hidden gems among those I wrote.

A fic that i always want to go back to when i need a good cry from life. 

Wow, an angsty fic as a comfort fic. But yea i do agree we need to cathartically express our feelings in reading a good fic that knows how to make us cry. 

Thank you for providing this platform to authors and artists to discuss their craft and our love for kaisoo. 

It is my greatest pleasure to be able to celebrate your mastery in this craft you have chosen to do. We share this joy together. 

Dear listener, the link to the author’s ao3 and twitter profile will be given below in the notes section. And with that ladies and gays and of the like, we have come to the end of today’s episode. 

Do keep a lookout for next month's episode because oh my! it will be the one year anniversary of the kaisoo fic podcast show! Can you believe that listeners… One year… im so touched, happy and relieved that people tune in and enjoy the show. Next month’s episode would be like a review of the past year’s episodes. 

New episodes either every 13th of the month or 12th and 14th, special kaisoo dates, of course.

To reach me, i am kaisooficdrunk on twitter and if you want you can drop me questions on my curious cat you can do so with the same username. There will also be another link that brings you to my tumblr blog with the transcription for today's episode. There you can also find the other scripts for other episodes as well.

Thank you for listening, have a good day, dear kaisooist, and we look forward to next month’s episode. Stay tuned.

[kit-just-kit]

an announcement!

*After many weeks of consideration, I've decided that this blog will no longer be actively posting threads or my replies to them. I've come to this decision for many reasons - the pressures of my new job, the needs of my family members that take up my time when not working, the regular and nonsensical changes inflicted upon us, the 'glitches' we have to constantly work around and unfortunately, the often toxic atmosphere around some elements of rp'ing.

I'm not archiving or leaving this blog altogether - I'll still pop by every so often, probably a lot less often than I've been managing to do lately, I'll send some asks from time to time, post pics, maybe even a couple of memes that seem interesting and any asks that I get as a result but, as for threads, these won't be replied to any further.

That being said, if we have a thread or multiple ones and you have discord, I'm happy to move writing together to there. For me, discord provides the 'fuss free, spontaneous and no way obligatory' environment that was present on tumblr when I began rp'ing here. I appreciate that it doesn't for everyone, but that's just how it is for me.

So, if you'd like to discuss moving our thread to discord, please feel free to IM and we can get that sorted?

For those who don't use discord, please know that I will miss writing with you very much and this is no way any kind of commentary on either your talent, muse or approach to rp'ing.......this is just something I have to do for myself, at this stage of my life.

I'll also give myself the option of changing my mind in the future on this, hence why I'm not archiving or deleting the blog.

It's been a fun nearly-ten years here (between the old and this present blog) and who knows, giving myself this freedom might make me feel less obligated and therefore, more free to commit to be here more but, I have to be honest, that doesn't seem likely to me at this point.

Anyways, I wish you all well and hope that on the rare occassions here in the future, you'll still interact by posting whatever I might send you and send me stuff in return.

Ta-ta for now,

Sarah (and Kit) xxxxxxx

p.s. on logging in today I discovered that the number of blogs I follow had gone down quite a bit - don't know if this is yet another glitch or something I've done but, if I'm no longer following and you'd like to discuss transferring our currnet thread or starting a new one on discord, feel free to IM/send an ask to me?*

so, in regards to the lack of time now that the end of the year approaches - i'm trying to figure out ways to keep doing what i like to do and also keep in contact with you all.

i have brought back my old discord account for that and i will be taking threads there. they are generally quite fast and i can reply on the app on my phone, which makes things a bit easier.

if you do want to transfer threads or come up with new and dirty ones there, feel free to approach and we can add each other and stuff.
