#dw I’m not abandoning the blog and I will come back

[teeth-farie]

I’ve decided to take a hiatus.

I’m not sure for how long, but I do know that running this blog has been very draining for me, both mentally and creatively. I got very caught up in creating things that other people want or what other people would like that I never made the things I wanted to make—and as a result it took the joy out of creating.

I will still be running my shop and subsequently reblogging information about products here, though other than that I will not be posting.

All in all, I want to find joy and happiness in writing again and creating in general, as well as writing things other than erotica. As a result my writing commissions will now be closed, though I will still be open for art commissions.

Please don’t be afraid to chat with me in messages, I still do love to talk.

!!IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Elyria here. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for the past seven months. (I can't believe this blog is that old already. I still think it's been a month or so.)

While I've only written like two? Three? Fics, it's still been a great time. I got to release some of my delusions somewhere, haha.

There's still so much I want to write about and improve on, but unfortunately, my journey ends here. It may have been short, but it was still memorable.

This next part is kind of like a TMI or might even be triggering for some people.

The whole reason we started this blog was, honestly, just for me. I've been struggling a bit and wanted a way to release some stress, and since we all liked fictional characters and bonded over them and stuff, we eventually came up with the idea of the Ritsusakumawife blog.

Rin handled the blog creation (Hence why this blog ended up being a side blog and not like a main one lol. She messed up on that part but it’s alright)

After the masterlist and etc were done came the writing..I wasn't sure how to do it at first, so I let someone post something first, that being Valerie, since she had more experience in writing and I just felt like seeing her in action and watching her write, would give me pointers?? An idea on how to start writing? and then I kind of built up on that. If that makes sense??

But I still couldn't build up the courage to post smth so the burger fic came to life.

It was written by "N" or 🍔 to show me that I didn't have to write anything serious/good. It can be something silly, stupid, outrageous, etc.

And I really appreciate them doing all this for me. Everyone went out of their way to try and help me. And I'm very grateful for that.

(We even had little therapy sessions where I basically just vent lmao)

Unfortunately, some things are just out of my control, so I'm choosing to leave this little blog project. Things are just too overwhelming right now, and I can't release my stress, etc., into writing like I want to. (Dw too much though, I’m not depressed depressed just a bit overwhelmed with life rn)

I've already talked about this decision with the others and about what will happen to this blog since its "main purpose" will be somewhat useless now.

Will this blog be deactivated or deleted? The answer is no.

It'll still be up and running; the only difference is that I'm gone. Maybe I will come back and leave behind online footprints, or whatever you call them, but for now, I just want to take a break from online and try to get my life together. Because while I may be perfectly healthy physically, the stress and stuff are taking a toll on my mental health, so yeah, I'm taking an indefinite break online(ofc also meaning that I won’t be in contact with any of my online friends) and will work on obtaining a much healthier mental health.

Of course, my mental health isn’t just the reason I’m leaving.

The truth is, I’m moving back to my hometown (due to personal reasons), which is in another country than the one I’m currently residing in.

At most, the only one who'll know about my well-being will be "N" (because we're siblings lol) and my family.

Note from the other mods:

Since Elyria is leaving, this blog may or may not be abandoned until her return. (If she ever decides to return, that is. If not, we'll respect her decision and wish her the best of luck with whatever challenges face her.)

Also, like said above, Elyria will be moving to her hometown, and since she wishes to remove her presence in the online world, that means we (Valerie and Rin) won't be in contact with her for an indefinite time.

It's a bit hard knowing that your friend is going through a bad time and you won't be there to check in on them, but we want to respect her wishes.

For now, all we can do is hope and pray that she'll overcome these challenges and take on life with a smile. It will be a hard journey, but we have faith that she'll get through it, especially with the support of her family.

P.S you better take good care of her N or I swear we will fly over there and give you the scolding of a life time >:(

Extra info for those that might wonder:

Since Elyria and N are siblings and Elyria is leaving the blog, will N leave too? The answer is yes and no.

He won’t be leaving the blog completely, and he will still be one of the "mods,” but he won’t post fics since he also mostly just got dragged here to be a mod lol.

And lastly, the Ayato fic

Like said before, if I(Val) were to discontinue it, I was planning on handing the project over to Elyria but seeing as that’s not possible it’ll be either discontinued or be in an indefinite hiatus. If I do decide to continue it someday, it’ll just be posted on my main blog

[ruby-whistler]

Srry but i noticed in one of ur dream posts u Referred to tommy's cat as hope. I must correct u, that cat was born pussbou and died pussboi. /lh Also tommy killing that cat was nothing compared to dream killing mushroom henry in exile btw just wanna say Also for ur posts about dreams trauma or wilbur manipulating him can u provide links to vods or other proof? Srry if i seem rude i mean that in a "genuinely curious way"

Aaa sorry if my ask came off as rude im just genuinely curious :(((

hi! dw, you don't seem rude at all, and i'm extremely happy someone with a different perspective has found my blog! i really appreciate that sort of attitude and am happy to answer :]

/dsmp /rp

the cat was called pussboy by tommy, but dream only called it "the cat" and then said that "it was hope", which is why it sort of became a symbol (his hope is dead, basically) - that's why i kind of made its name capitalized, because it was more of a metaphor than anything.

most c!dream fans call the cat hope because it's just really nice and really symbolic, and also really sad when you think about it. that's why the name was used in the essay, just to clear up the confusion!

tommy killing that cat was nothing compared to dream killing mushroom henry in exile

i don't really think so? mooshroom henry was entertainment more than anything, and even if it was bad, when watching the stream i don't remember seeing him mourn that much - on the other hand, dream was very quickly and very obviously attached to the cat, with it being his only companion in months of isolation, along with the hope that even when tommy left it would keep him company.

keep in mind c!dream has been deprived of stimuli and human contact for so long it's officially classified as psychological torture at that point.

i don't mean to compare trauma or even compare deaths - because honestly, what c!dream and c!tommy have gone through individually is incomparable and i think neither should be diminished in favor of the other since they're both terrible situations.

that's why i disagree that it "was nothing compared to" - it had an obvious effect on c!dream, and was still c!tommy killing an animal specifically to hurt him, no matter what reasons he had.

when i'm talking about effects people's actions have had on c!dream, i'm not talking about those people. i'm talking about him. :) /lh

as for the trauma, a lot of people agree that a lot of the things he says or does are trauma responses, and hence it's very possible that he's had trauma before he went into prison!

this includes being repeatedly called a tyrant via propaganda by about half of your friends who decided to betray you, trying to keep peace and being pushed deeper into villainy instead, repeatedly being put in between a rock and a hard place in order to make sure the people you care about don't start killing each other, then being betrayed by your closest friends after merely trying to keep peace (sapnap & george) and just in general having no control over your life or image and grasping at straws to gain it back.

i know a lot of people with trauma who heavily relate to certain trauma responses, which aren't always just shaky breaths and flashbacks, but trauma often also manifests itself in extremely ugly and destructive ways, both inwardly and outwardly.

trying to control the people around you is also very often a response to going through trauma, as well as emotional repression which is... rather evident on c!dream during season two. it only seems to get worse with repeated abandonment.

in the end, during the vault scene, the way he acts really just isn't at all the way a healthy person would act, and a lot of his really bad mindsets come from the way he was taught by the world around him.

the character is very reserved however, and since we don't have his pov we can't really say for certain - a lot of people claim it in good faith because they have a lot of evidence for it, and i think they're certainly valid in that.

that is just before the prison, however. from what happened during the prison arc? there is no denying he's traumatized at this point.

he's been emotionally and physically abused by c!sam since the very beginning of being imprisoned, and being in solitary confinement for over two weeks is generally considered psychological (and maybe also physical?) torture. that alone shows up in a lot of symptoms of his mental deterioration while in pandora's during people's visits, and quackity's "sessions" just absolutely drove the point home.

what he's gone through during this arc is absolutely incomparable to anything others charactes have faced before, and it's just plain suffering being endured by someone who is, despite everything, still a human being.

as for the wilbur manipulation thing!! it's talking about the whole vassal scene (though even beforehand a lot of their interactions are pretty iffy), and here's a post about that :]

I also have a small question about the analysis u last reblogged cus it says "why dream needed lmanburg gone rightfully" and like. The house analogy is poor because for one cus the land is infinite. And 2 cus punz's yard was literally larger then lmanburg. And also stuff about dream being a mediator? Can u provide examples?

i wouldn't say it was poor. dream's said a lot of times that he didn't care in the slightest about the land - a lot of his problems with l'manberg arose with the fact that wilbur basically built it on lies and tried to disallow half of the server to come there. c!dream was mad about the division and the fact that wilbur wanted "freedom" to have authority in his lands - over others, as can be seen in this post also.

the table analogy was fitting not because dream was some overlord, but because these were literally friends he invited to hang out and live in a place he wanted to call home. claiming a part of it for yourself and saying people of a certain nationality can't come in is directly opposing those goals.

in the early days of the smp, dream's always been a mediator between his friends - sapnap and george, who would often get into fights and go around killing each other! he would always do his best to stop the conflict, which continued after tommy joined when he took him to court and then later tried to mediate conflicts he was a part of, which resulted in tommy killing him unprovoked, stealing his gear, and starting the disc wars when dream was trying to get his stuff back. later, during pogtopia, he is also most concerned with peace over everything, and this seems to continue indefinitely after.

Today i was thinking about how messed up the final control room was. Like. Dream arranged the betrayal and punz and sapnap killed tommy and tubbo who like. Were literal children and their pals (because the author, wilbur soot, is dead/j but srsly if u take the streamers words tommy said he was 9 during the revolution sooo)

Sorry im gonna ramble about how dumb canon ages are for a second cus like. Streamers can say the characters are one way or another (wilbur saying he is mentally 30-something, etc.) But in the end the characters act like they(or at least their streaming personas) do.

i... honestly don't find it that bad? they were in a war, and the final control room was basically just supposed to end it quicker. the l'manbergians made it clear they were going to fight to the death, so they really left c!dream no other choice. and it's not like he didn't give them chances to give up.

also yeah the 9 year old thing was retconned, because in that case c!dream would've been 14 and i don't think that's true.

c!tommy and c!dream were both young and once again, in a war. the final control room was an attempt to assure victory, which both sides would've taken if possible, but only c!dream saw he had the option.

i do agree the whole child soldier thing was bad but... complain about that to c!wilbur, methinks. he talked naive kids into fighting for his personal power. however, the age argument isn't really valid either way. they had enough agency to sign up for it, and whether or not c!wilbur pushing the intense nationalism onto them had something to do with that is another debate entirely.

Bacl to final control room cus like??? Also fun fact punz took 2 of wilbur's canon lives. And like that probably is what started wilbur's paranoia which later lead to his spiral and i. Many thoughts full of lmanburg today.

i'm pretty sure cc!wilbur said what lead to c!wilbur's spiral was a "dark, twister view of possessions" and "disregard for his fellow citizen whom he claimed to love so much", but i really wouldn't say it was the control room; if anything the sudden loss of power after the elections seems to me like the trigger for his spiral.

I watched the exile arc live and. I feel dirty almost for feeling little to no sympathy for c!dream (srry ive been forgetting to add that aa) because of his actions toward c!tommy and like. The whole probation was so humiliating and unfair and c!dream was planning to frame him for the crimes he and puffy did under the the guise of "pranks" and c!quackity was planning to seize the vice president role.

i mean... to be fair, if you didn't watch the prison arc much yet or only watch tommy's perspective i understand not feeling that sympathetic - however, i encourage you to maybe watch a few prison visits, since they could help you see the whole picture better!

i also watched it live, and i also thought it was terrible, but i share very much the same sentiment for the prison arc because. absolutely no one should have to go through either of those things, you know?

i don't think probation was that humiliating? he was just. being asked to not start conflict with the other factions for two weeks. of course, what happened as a result is in no way justified, but i don't think probation itself would've been bad at all. either way yeah the framing and c!quackity's behaviour was. very yikes, i agree.

Also c!tommy antis are dumb because they say "he deserved exile angry emoji" i dont see u saying that about ranboo. Just say you hate cc!tommy and go. Also people say c!tommy was just as toxic to c!dream and i??? No. One is the victim and one is the abuser and like. :/// man. This part is rambly srry

i wouldn't say they hate cc!tommy? cc!tommy has a persona who people think is annoying at first ( but then they subscribe because he is super entertaining big man! ) but a lot of c!tommy's actions are straight up toxic to certain characters, such as c!funndy and c!jack. he has a very dismissive attitude towards others and their trauma and it does affect the people around them very negatively.

examples; his repeated bullying and behavior towards fundy:

Tommy: “Fundy, I’m just here to kinda let you know that I – if you weren’t Wilbur’s son, you would be out of L’manburg, alright? Just remember – you need to keep that relationship with your father. I saw how asshole-y and bratty you were acting in the courtroom the other night. You need to pull your shit together young man.”

......

Fundy: “I’m wearing glasses…are you making fun of my eyesight?!”

Tommy: “Yes.”

Sapnap: “Your father would be very disappointed.”

Fundy: “Wh – disappointed for wearing glasses?!”

Tommy: “You got glasses, like what are you wearing…”

Fundy: “What do you mean?”

Tommy: “Sapnap, Sapnap, over here. Fundy, Fundy, Fundy, I’m really sorry to say this – I’m just here to publicly denounce you.”

Fundy: “…What?”

( credit for transcript: @/findingjoynweirdstuff )

he's also responsible for a big chunk of c!jack's trauma, both with actions and words, and that's why i think certain people might dislike the character, and i don't think that's wrong of them. anyone can dislike any character they want if they don't attack people for liking them, in my opinion.

also c!tommy was most definitely toxic against c!dream in the cell. it's of course understandable but that doesn't change the fact he was constantly hitting and insulting him (without dream doing anything back for a long while until he snapped) which is toxic behaviour.

i wouldn't say he was "just as" though, so i agree with you on that. they're different and they behave differently.

i made a dream blob keychain today. Is it possible to send images if u wanna see? Idk cus i havent used tumblr before. I think that's all for now. Thx for letting me talk :D peepoShy -curious anon (but fr a connoreatspants c!dream redemption arc would be cool)

yooo that's cool! i don't really,,, know if it's possible to send images? try it out and if it isn't i'll try find a way to turn it on.

also, no problem! just please remember this is a c!dream sympathetic blog, and me as well as my followers are uhh,, oftentimes emotionally attached / personally relate to the character, so if you could avoid sending hate on the character (not that you have or that i expect you to, just a friendly reminder) in the asks that would be great! we already see a lot of it unwillingly so, i'd rather not see more, but as long as the discussion is civil i'm absolutely ok with you asking more and with me answering more questions if you'd want to! :)

if anyone else would like to reblog this and add some things i might've missed with my answers, feel free to, just go easy on her (she uses she/her pronouns!) and keep it factual.

i hope u had a good or at least ok time at school today :D

thanks! i gtg now because exam tomorrow but i'm going to try write the redemption essay tomorrow as well because ohhh boy i have a lot of ideas about what all i could write around the concept.

also sorry this was long, i can't keep my tongue on the leash :[

[lida-leeda]

I'm still on the island.

I still draw btw

Dw I'm coming back soon and sorry for abandoning this blog

[thisdiscontentedwinter]

Scott and Lydia is the best BROTP. They have so much in common. They had ambitions for which they were willing to work. They were gifted students with perfect grades and smarter than everyone else. They were misjudged by their outward characteristics. A lot of character saved each other’s life, but Lydia changed for Scott and became a better person thanks to Scott’s leadership. Lydia’s main priority is and always will be Scott.

But what about Derek? Stiles? Isaac? Liam? I don’t consider them very good friendships because, when push came to shove, they all turned on Scott for their own benefit. Derek handed the reins of Beacon Hills to a seventeen year old boy so he could freely indulge in his manpain. Stiles disobeyed or abandoned Scott so many times in so many seasons that he really needed to install a revolving door.

Scott gave Isaac a place to live and someone to look up to that didn’t use him as a soldier or break his arm when he sassed back, and Isaac could have cared less about Scott’s feelings as long as Scott had a pulse so he could take care of him. And Liam literally beat Scott – his alpha – to death over a stupid girl

________________________

DW: I’m not answering any more of your bullshit after this. 

Don’t come onto my blog and do Lydia dirty like that, or in fact any of the other characters. 

But your last paragraph sure takes the cake. “...over a stupid girl”? 

How about you and your misogyny fuck right off? 

I guess that’s one thing you and Scott have in common though, right? 

Delusionals, this is why nobody likes you. 

[drawlfoy]

awh why is it going to be the last draco x reader fanfic you're going to write? :( i really hope it's because you want to try something new/take a break, and not because of those weird pathetic anons you have been getting lately :\ (whatever is the reason i will always support you and wait for you to come back <3)

also, bestie i am not gonna lie it's been HARD to stop myself from reading the first part of the finale i am kind of suffering here lmfao, but i know it will be worth it when the 2nd part comes out and i get to read them together hehehe

sending you another hug because i have to end my messages to you with a hug lol x

-🌟

i've been playing around with the idea of at least taking a long hiatus/leaving this community in general for quite some time, even before the weird anons! honestly, if i wasn't planning on it before, i probably wouldn't ever stop writing on here just out of spite lmfao...anyways the reason why is because i've really wanted to expand into longer slowburn pieces that focus a lot on character development/would require me to mature in my writing, and i feel like finding an audience who wants that in reader insert is hard (esp in the draco fandom rn bc i feel like there's just so much smut that it's hard to compete). obviously i don't just write for an audience but it is definitely more fun to know that what i'm posting is what people want to read, so i've been thinking about moving over to ao3 and writing dramione.

i'm not sure though! i haven't written much for dramione before and i would like to eventually rewrite some of the series i have going on here. one thing i do know is that i'm not abandoning this blog and that i'll be around for quite some time :) i probably just won't post anything here until i have a good portion of the work done, but i'll keep everyone updated ;)

also dw you'll be able to read both finales soon!!! it won't be long at all and im so excited to share it with you fkdjs;afljsad

also ty for the hug if you feel anything its bc im sending you a hug right back

[literaryoblivion]

A, D and E... to start with. :) And if you want to ask me anything... (I'm also curious about W and Q...)

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

There’s so many haha ok currently...

Jack/Bitty #zimbits (Check Please)

Stiles/Derek #sterek (Teen Wolf)

Dean/Cas #destiel (Supernatural)

Napoleon/Illya (Man from UNCLE the movie)

Thor/Loki #thorki (MCU)

Jamie/Tyler #bennguin (Hockey RPF)

Crowley/Aziraphale #ineffablehusbands (Good Omens)

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

I really want to like Sid/Geno in Hockey RPF, and I don’t hate it and I’ve read them in Bennguin fic, but I just *shrug* can’t get into it. I love Sid a ton, and I can kind of see it and why people ship it, but I don’t think I can go beyond that.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

Oh gurl, the one thing I ever did that was cracky and hilarious was Sterek as flatworms there even ended up being fanart both by me and someone else, though I can’t seem to find it...

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

I don’t really hate a lot of things tbh? I’m willing to read a lot. I guess the one thing that I don’t like is the “always the opposite sex” one that gets used sometimes. And I don’t mean like genderbend (like both are F/F instead of M/M) or like one of them magically turns into the opposite sex for a period of time or like one’s trans. What I mean is when the author makes one of the pairing the opposite sex and that’s just how they are. I see this happen a lot in Hockey RPF (where like one of them is always a girl and the other remains male) but if I had wanted to read my M/M ships as M/F and het, I would’ve read a het romance novel. It’s cool if you’re into that, but I’m really not. (Though I did accidentally read one and didn’t realize it until I was almost done and it spurred an idea that I started writing instead haha.)

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

The very first fandom I ever really got involved in and read fic (only het funny enough) for was Doctor Who, and if you’ll notice my blog is very empty of that. I loved David Tennant so much, and I remember following all these Doctor Who blogs and just loving all the gifs. I remember these two authors that started this whole AU where the Doctor, a rock star, invites Rose, an up and coming singer, to be his opening act on tour with him. The authors would volley the fic back and forth and I just loved seeing the updates and where one would pick up and take the story. But then Matt Smith became the doctor and while I still loved the show and watched it, I kind of stopped reading fic (and this was before I got an AO3, so it was kind of difficult for a newbie like me to find anyway). Around this time is when I started to watch Supernatural, so eventually I transitioned my fandom involvement to that instead of Doctor Who. And as the seasons of DW wore on, I became less and less enthusiastic for the show and so did the DW blogs I’d been following. When Matt Smith left and they got Peter Capaldi, I watched maybe the first 2 or 3 episodes and stopped, and I haven’t seen any since. It kind of makes me sad, but it happens.

Ask me things!

[oya-art4]

you ship a lot.... but like, what r ur main ships???

Okay, I’ve had a few of these asks so I’m just going to lump them together:

Anon: why do you ship Shance? I thought Klance was the ‘main’ ship? plus u draw klance….u shaklance??

Anon: What do u ship? Are you okay with “everything-everything”??

So here’s my answer! 

(Hella long BTW)

My MAIN ship is Shance (Shiro X Lance). Originally I felt guilty shipping Shance. I mean, it’s Lance and Shiro. I hated the idea that I was being a predator and forcing these two together. But then I started thinking. Lance is 17~19. He’s old enough to make his own decisions, smoke and blah blah blah. He could legally go to his parents and tell them that he was in love with a man ~7 years older than him. I had an internal fight about this for a really long time. Putting myself in Lance’s situation and putting myself in Shiro’s situation. I overthought myself making ‘real’ scenarios and such. I deleted my original blog becasue I was attacked for liking Shance and tried to vent to some other shippers who thought I was gross and attacked me having others do so too. I was away from Tumblr for a while and almost gave up on Voltron. But then I made a new tumblr and I followed some Shance blogs and actually started with @sir-scandalous and @ulti-mal . I saw how cute Shiro and Lance could be and that nothing predatory was going on. That I was simply overthinking. I then began to indulge, daring to draw my first official Shance picture a few months ago. I read some Shance fics, incognito and giving kudos as a ‘visitor’ because I was afraid that if I liked them then I’d be judged. But after reading enough I decided that I should come out of the shadows and now I’m here! 

Second on my list is Kidge (Keith X Pidge). I love the dynamic, however, right now it seems to be ignored right now. I think Pidge would be there for Keith more so than any of the others can, she knows what it’s like for family to disappear and she can be there for Keith like no one else can. 

Third Hunay (Hunk X Shay). I mean, come on. Does this one need an explanation?? So pure! 

Also, I teeter on Klance (Keith X Lance). I do like their dynamic some times, but I also feel like it has a chance to be toxic (as do all relationships). I feel the ‘rivalry-to-lover’ cliche is used too much and I would be somewhat angry if DW did this to Voltron. Not paring Keith and Lance, but making them rivals to lovers.

Shidge. Shidge (Shiro X Pidge) is a couple I could get on board with. However, I don’t know if Pidge could be there for Shiro like she’d need to be. Pidge is more reactive like when she wanted to go fly off to space and abandon the team. I would be afraid she’d do that to Shiro (though knowing she wouldn’t, but still….).

Sheith (Shiro X Keith) is okay. I think they have an opportunity to be cute. I’m not saying that their fond looks, shoulder touches, and over all atmosphere around each other aren’t already lovey-dovey but there is WAY more room for romantic growth. Everything in their relationship seems to be underwhelming. Keith finding Shiro. What happened when they got him back to the house? Did Keith have spare clothes for Shiro to wear or did Shiro steal some of Keith’s dad’s clothes? When Keith found Shiro again in season 3. We only have the scene in the bedroom. We don’t have the initial crying and joy of finding him, most likely putting him in a cryopod to be safe, and then him coming out. I feel if Sheith were canon this gives us great opportunity to have flash backs, but this also leaves the most gaps in their relationship. They know each other the most. They’ve probably shared a roof at one point because Keith said Shiro was “Like a brother”, as all of my crushes and people who have confessed to me have said to me. 

Shklance (Shiro X Keith X Lance) I’m kind of alright with. I’ve read some amazing fics, but the thing that bothers me is that most of the cases I’ve seen is that Lance is brought into the relationship because Shiro and Keith “don’t want to work out something so why not bring Lance into it! He’ll fix everything!” and I don’t really like the idea of pulling in another member into the relationship just to try and “fix” it. I did read this one fic, Ah! I’ve looked for it forever because I forgot to bookmark it, but it was where the three were just wanting one another, thinking of holding hands and cuddling and it was just so cute. The whole, like 19 chapter book, was them almost acting but then retracting because “what if” and it was so aggravating! But it was one of the only Shklance fics I really liked because no one was in a relationship. They all wanted each other fully, not trying to “fix” something with another partner added onto it. 

Like I’ve said before, and I’ll say a hundred times. I honestly don’t care what ship “wins”. If it’s healthy and happy, hell Lance and Lotor can be together. I just want my Paladins happy, healthy, and saving the world how they see fit. They’ve been through enough, the least they deserve is happiness. 

The ships I disagree with are the ‘unhealthy’ ones. Where there is abuse, hatred, constant yelling, and just hurting each other (sexually and physically). I know that in a relationship, in general, there will be arguments, but a relationship built on hurting or forcing one another is NOT my cup of tea.

My ask box is open if you anon’s (or not) would like me to go into more detail, or explain something else! I love answering asks!

How many works in progress do you currently have in progress? “Just” three - Princess and the Goblin AU, a personal project, and an original work about the world’s grumpiest immortal old lady 2. Do you/would you write fanfiction? Yes and yes :P 3. Do you prefer paper books or ebooks? Paper books to own, but for schoolwork I’d much rather use ebooks as they’re a lot easier to search through when writing a paper and needing that one quote. 4. When did you start writing? Age six! We still have the word document from 2003 where I wrote an epic tale about myself helping the Boxcar Children solve a mystery in which my mom was, for some reason, a police officer. 5. Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with? Knight! 6. Where is your favorite place to write? At home, sitting on my bed. That’s where I work best in general; I don’t do well with the distractions of public places. 7. Favorite childhood book? Oh gosh. I was a ridiculously avid reader all through childhood. I don’t know that I could pick a single one, but the Nancy Drew series had me from very early on. 8. Writing for fun or writing for publication? For fun! But in an ideal world there would also be publication in the future lol. 9. Pen and paper or computer? Computer! I used to do pencil and paper when I was in middle school/high school and filled up a few composition notebooks, but I get too easily sidetracked with pencil and paper and tend to end up doodling if I try to use it for writing nowadays. 10. Have you ever taken any writing classes? I have! I did a fiction/poetry combo the summer of 2014 which was very nice, a poetry class fall of 2015, and am currently in another poetry class. One day I’ll get to have my fiction workshopped again! :P 11. What inspires you to write? Lots of things - music, dreams, other people, daydreams...

Last sentence you wrote:

She’d thought maybe she was doing it wrong, and that was why, but she didn’t quite know how to ask.

that one tag thing it didn’t have a title sorry Name: Mouse Star sign: Cancer Average hours of sleep: 5-8 depending on the day Lucky number: 7 or 27 based on numbers I like, but the OCD demands repetitions of 12 or 20 so take that as you will Last thing I googled: “panko crumbed turkey schnitzel” because I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF I COULD EAT IT Favorite fictional character: Yes I Have Lots of Those What are you wearing right now: Batman pj pants and a soft green plaid buttonup When did you start this blog: May 2013 :’) please don’t go look at my first posts I was an embarrassing child What do I mostly post: Sailor Moon, Alex Kingston, helpful art things, and lately a lot of middle-of-the-night squawking about Scooby Doo Do I get a lot of asks: on the art blog! not here though lol Why did I choose this URL: River Song + memento mori

another one that doesn’t have a title I think sorry again O N E -name: Audrey || nickname: Mouse || zodiac sign: Cancer -height: 5′2″ || orientation: ace lesbian || ethnicity: white enough to make hiding in laser tag very difficult -favorite fruit: apple || favorite season: winter -favorite book: The Last Unicorn || favorite flower: carnation? -favorite scent: vanilla || favorite animal: cat -coffee, tea, or hot cocoa? no thank you -cats or dogs? cats -dream trip: I go to an abandoned, isolated castle in the middle of a wide-open field of green. no one is around. I am wearing a soft, billowy dress. I run through the halls of the castle to echoing sea shanties. in the tallest tower of the castle I sit and fill up an entire sketchbook and it doesn’t even matter if I mess up on a couple pages because I have brought sticky notes to try that cool thing where you just slap a sticky note over the mistake and keep going. -aesthetic: old empty buildings, soft blankets, girls holding hands, scuffed up knuckles and fingertips, the pages in a sketchbook where marker has bled through in just a few spots to make it look splattered, the smell of old books, antique brass pocketwatches, cold grey skies -favorite band/artist: Anberlin -fictional character I’d date: River Song, Elizabeth Corday, Makoto Kino -Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw T W O -countries I’ve lived in: US, UK I guess now? idk does it count -favorite fandom: uhh... if we’re talking about the fandom itself then Scooby Doo, there’s so little drama and everyone is just super into these goofy kids solving mysteries, it’s great -languages you speak: English, and I’m passable enough in Spanish that I could PROBABLY survive if I were dropped in a Spanish speaking country -favorite film of 2016: I have No Concept of Time and also don’t watch that many movies. did Wonder Woman come out in 2016? that’s like the only movie I’ve been to see in theatres recently. idk I apologize -last article you read: uhh something for class, so something about Gothic feminism -last thing you bought online: a maroon sweatshirt with Scooby’s face on it. I am the coolest adult and 12yo me would be proud. -how would your friends describe you: sweet but a huge dork, very little common sense, means well -how would your enemies describe you: I am always trying my best to not make enemies so?? I don’t know?

questions Nikki asked specifically 1. You spend an entire year in another time and place for the next three years of your life. When/where do you choose and why? THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS STRESS ME OUT because on the one hand, access to everywhere and everywhen!! BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IF I GO TOO FAR BACK INTO THE PAST I LOSE ACCESS TO THINGS LIKE MEDICINE WHICH I NEED AND POSSIBLY CONTAMINATE THE POPULATION WITH MODERN-DAY GERMS WHILE IF I GO TOO FAR INTO THE FUTURE I GET EXPOSED TO BACTERIA/VIRUSES I HAVE NO IMMUNITY AGAINST. it’s a lose/lose. so... picking close enough to not do too much damage, I’ll spend one year following Agatha Christie around sometime in the 60s, mentor my younger self in 2010, and go through all of 2014 again just so I can go see the Armory production of Macbeth. 2. Okay, be honest: do you put your laundry away immediately, or does it sit somewhere in a pile for entirely too long? IT SITS AT THE END OF MY BED FOR WEEKS YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME OUT LIKE THIS 3. Describe yourself as if you’re in a fic. (Scent, appearance, aura – everything & anything is game.) “She was small and mousy, in the sense that she was a bit skittish of everything and squeaked sometimes when she talked, always too quiet for the ‘real’ grownups. She stepped lightly, and tried to take up as little space as possible, and was almost a ghost for her efforts.” 4. What non-essential thing(s) do you blow the most money on? MARKERS AND BOOKS I am a simple woman with simple desires 5. Did you have extracurricular activities as a child? Any that you wish you’d done? I did ballet and cheer in elementary school for like two years, gymnastics for a bit; journalism in middle school (say hello to the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper y’all); drama in high school - I can’t say that I wish I’d done any more actually 6. You can time travel (or not) and have your portrait done by any artist. Who do you choose? I'm gonna go with El Greco simply because his “Penitent Magdalene” haunts me 7. You’re out in public. You see a cat. How do you react? point at it and say CAAAAAAAT and hope it doesn’t run away 8. What kind of weather do you thrive in, and what can you simply not do? A bit cloudy and 50-60 degrees F is ideal. I cannot abide heat. Anything above 80 degrees is repulsive. 9. Om nom nom, breakfast! What are your favorite breakfast foods? CEREAL AND WAFFLES 10. Do you like running up and/or rolling down hills? ...not particularly... I have a weird thing about heights, and inclines do not really help D:

*  KNOWING YOUR PARTNER CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. REPOST, DON’T REBLOG.  

*  BASICS.  

NAME / ALIAS :   Caitlin! PRONOUNS :   she / her. SEXUALITY :   super gay  TAKEN OR SINGLE :   taken by a lovely lady   

*  THREE FACTS.  

ONE :  I like to make things like body scrubs and bath salts and affectionately refer to part of the den in my apartment as my ‘lab’ TWO :   I’m hearing impaired THREE :   I miss my cat a lot tbh

*  EXPERIENCE.  

HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?) :   UH about... nine, nine-and-a-half years? I started RPing on LiveJournal back in highschool and have been RPing pretty consistently since then. PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED :   oh god now that you mention it I probably did forum RP even before that. Scratch that, definitely. So change the above to more like 12 years?? anyway. forums, MMOs, LiveJournal and Dreamwidth. DW was my main platform until I moved to tumblr middle of last year. BEST EXPERIENCE :  making @bellassan cry for three days with RP, tbh. also just generally meeting Din and befriending her. makes all of RP worth it. /sappy

*  MUSE PREFERENCES.  

FEMALE OR MALE :  no preference! I seem to write guys more often but I blame a relatively small supply of dynamic female characters in the media. FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT : angst is a lot of fun, followed by fluff. no smut on this blog, period. but angst is fantastic I love pain. And fluff makes me happy to have sometimes. PLOTS OR MEMES :  both! if I had to choose, though, plots. Memes are fun for quickly throwing a situation together and rolling with it, but boy you can come up with some great and involved stuff via plotting. But both are super fun. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES :  medium just to be contrary. I usually write on the longer side, but short things can be really refreshing to have.  BEST TIME TO WRITE :  during week days. my partner is at work then and I’m usually at home (especially now that I’m between academic programs) and so writing happens a lot then. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) :  we both have abandonment issues, which is great. other than that, no, not really. he’s a brat and cocky and confident and I am... none of those things.

TAGGED BY :  @tachiisms sort of TAGGING :  @bellassan did u get tagged

State of the Social Media, 2017 Hi friends!! It's been a loooong time since I last checked in about this, and Russia has made an update Weirdly Relevant, so let's talk social media! I'm gonna post this everywhere I mention, except on Twitter where I'll just link it, because I do not hate my twitter friends that much. SO! I use social media! Let's talk about which and how. This is going to be a real-person post, which means long and rambling. I may make a tl;dr for Facebook. Livejournal:(KDSorceress) WELL OKAY FINE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. I WON'T USE THIS ANYMORE. Okay, no, realistically I have given up on online privacy *and* my Russian-speaking-friend who uses LJ doesn't seem to be bailing, but given that EVERYONE ELSE has pretty much finally bailed...it's time to drop it entirely, and that's a bummer. So I'm gonna turn off cross-posting (MASSIVE WINCE) and abandon the place I've updated at least once a month for the last 161 months1. That's over thirteen years, my livejournal is old enough to start its own livejournal. But it's okay because I'll be finally fully transitioning to... Dreamwidth:(Sorcyress Wooooo! Open-source! Community-controlled! Transparency and not randomly deleting journals and not run by a government that thinks Teh Gay is a major league problem and why was I on elljay in the first place? Anywho, DW is where I put long-style thoughts, and Real Serious Life Stuff! It's my (new) home. I have never given up on longform personal blogging, and I still love it more'n anything, and I want the rest of you to return to it. Meanwhile, you can also find Real Serious Life Stuff on... Twitter:(@Sorcyress) This is where I have been dumping my serious stuff in sortof the immediate, because...I...also don't have attention for longform blogging right now? Please see my eighty part tweet-saga on "does Kat have health insurance and/or medication for their ADHD this week?", which I have been performing 140 characters at a time for the last six months. Also, there's a *lot* of selfies. If you wanna see my face, you gotsta follow my tweets. Tumblr:(Sorcyress My Tumblr is an uncoordinated cesspit, and I mostly just reblog stuff that I theoretically want to follow up on later somehow, but then don't. I really should stop using Tumblr. You are welcome to follow me there, I provide no original content and very little original commentary, but you might still find my curation cool or useful or something. Meanwhile, on the offline side of the internet you have... Facebook:(Firstname Lastname, go ahead and ping me privately if you want it) Facebook is what I use to speak to lots of people at once --lots of "hey I need a thing from y'all" but also it's the place where my party ideas show up and invites and stuff. I also post a weirdly high amount of genderstuff, because I remain eternally thrilled that Facebook lets me set my gender accurately and my pronoun correctly. Anyways, because Facebook has my wallet name attached instead of my handle, I also behave all delicately and professionally and whatnot. This means I don't swear on my own page2, and don't link to my handle! Places I am no longer include: deviantART, Sluggy.net, any other forums...Iunno. The rest of the world I used to be on? Oh yeah, OKCupid, which isn't really social media and I never really used it, but I've pretty much wholly abandoned it. And that one bounty-hunter3 website that a certain subset of my friends list is thinking of, yes I still have an account, every few months I'll post a thing, but I hardly ever read or do anything else. Places I am not currently that you probably are: Instagram (I haven't gotten around to it), Pintrest (I fundamentally object to their screwing up of Google Image searches), Snapchat (Technically I have one, every few months I remember to look at my sister's timeline, but I do not "get" it like at all) Separate from social media, if you wanna get in touch with me, you can... Text me! After two decades of fundamentally hating telephones, I finally got a tiny-pocket-computer-that-incidentally-makes-phone-calls and I like it very much. I like getting random texts, and will do my best to respond, if whatever my job is allows it. IM me! I still looooove instant messanger, even though I'm not always the best at using it. When I am on the computer, I have access to GTalk and AIM (username on both: kdsorceress), when I'm on the phone, just GTalk. Call me? Please...um...I mean, I like having phone calls very rarely with a smallish subset of the People I Like, so please don't randomly call me for conversation without pinging me otherwise first? But if that's a thing you like, I mean, try pinging me and we'll see! Skype me! (Or Google Hangouts or whatever --the kleenex problem is coming for you, Skype.) I especially like utilizing this for the "I'ma work on cleaning my room and you work on cleaning your room" type stuff. Last big Skype chat I had, Tailsteak was inking or something, and I made a LEGO set! (my skype is Sorcyress, my google is kdsorceress) Email me! Oooo, I love getting emails! I am _absolutely terrible_ at replying to emails. You will not bother me if you send me reminder emails to reply to your email. Seriously. It is good for me! (kdsorceress at gmail dot com) Is there anything I'm missing? If you wish to get in touch with me on a social media I didn't specify, go ahead and email me at [insert appropriate email here]. Or leave a comment or whatever! Yay social media! ~Sor MOOP! 1: Except two, back in 2005 because I was being a petulant and sulky baby. 2: My grandfather objects, and again, I try to pretend that Facebook is professional even though I have it locked up pretty tight privacy wise. Of course, it's sFB, so those privacy settings could randomly change any day now. 3: I am very clever! Do you like how clever I am?
