#especially for a guy that blocks fandom discourse on sight

[average-hua-cheng-fan]

my thoughts on why the mdzs fandom is Like That

[zeroducks-2]

Man I am so tired of people whose DNI lists include some trait of mine interacting with/following my stuff it’s like having to keep dragging someone’s damn dog out of my yard ‘cause they ain’t bothered to put a fence around theirs. None of these damn puritans takes any responsibility for their own damn lives.

I know anon. It feels like they do it on purpose. I had to block A LOT of people who followed me despite having a big fat "PROSHITTERS DNI" or "BATCEST BLOCKED ON SIGHT" in their bio or intro posts, it's not even funny.

It's already hard with the other way around, with having to check blogs' intro posts and DNIs if I want to follow someone, because it really does happen a lot that they don't want "people like me" in their followers count, and I want to respect that. There's one Batman blog in particular that I have been following for idk around a year? And recently I saw a post of theirs which vehemently told their followers to fuck off if they liked batcest or something along those lines. Again I respected that and fucked off, despite being just a silent follower and not having ever interacted with them.

Add on top of this the fact that antis often follow you, and if you're not careful to block them asap they will also send you hate (according to my personal experience at least) once they realize you are a "nasty proshitter". To those folks that diminish this issue and paint the situation in the light of "both sides are exaggerating", I say, do you realize that these guys send people insults and death threats? That if you're not careful as a creator you might wake up one day with 200 hate notifications in your inbox?

And yes, it does feel like some of them do not take responsibility for their own lives, and in some cases it's because it's not true that they don't want "proshippers" to interact with them - they even get pissed when their DNIs get religiously respected! - they want to pick a fight and play the part of the "concerned for the children", pearl-clutchy angel of righteousness while telling artists and writers to kill themselves over an artwork they consider immoral. That's how they get their emotional supply, and that's why I immediately block them if I see them following me: either they want to pick a fight and that is why they followed me, or they didn't realize what they were doing and they WILL get triggered over my content, so I'm doing both them and myself a favor.

But yes, it is tiring and very frustrating. I started this blog out wanting nothing to do with fandom discourse and the likes, but it kind of slaps you in the face whether you want to deal with it or not, doesn't it. Especially if you are a creator but even if you're just sitting there reblogging and commenting the things you like.

about me/blog info

introduction, before you follow, fandom stuff, etc. below the cut!

(star dividers courtesy of saradika)

hi everyone, i'm bees! here's some info about me/my blog:

i usually go by bees (he/him). please feel free to call me by name or whatever silly little nicknames you can think of.

if you know me irl no you don't. this is my happy little cringe fandom habitat <3

i love video games (mostly Nintendo and especially Pokemon/Fire Emblem) and anime (mostly Shounen and Shoujo), and most of the things i reblog are fanart and posts i think are funny

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is my favorite game of all time, and i post about it incessantly (more about this later)

Bernadetta von Varley is my favorite character of all time and i love her dearly and also she is my wife 💜

you can learn more about my favorite things here!

it is very difficult for me to come out of my shell and be myself (even in a space like this), but i returned to tumblr because i want to try to have fun and be cringe and be free, and i'm trying my best every day <3

PLEEEAAASE feel free to send asks/tag me/etc., especially if we're mutuals, and especially about my favorite things! i am far too anxious to initiate anything but i like interacting with people :)

on that note please be patient with me sometimes it takes me a long time to respond to things but I INTEND TO I PROMISE

i don't post art much but when i do you can find it under #my art

taken <3

before you follow (it's not too long i promise)

please don't follow me if you're a minor. i'm hesitant to mark this blog explicitly as 18+ because i don't really post nfsw stuff here besides joke text posts, but i don't want minors here regardless, sorry!

this is a 🏳️‍⚧️ trans friendly blog 🏳️‍⚧️

i don't do DNI's, but i do block/softblock/unfollow/blacklist/filter freely

i tend to avoid fandom discourse, including proship/anti/etc. discourse. my policy is that if i'm uncomfortable with a particular type of fandom content, i will fall back on my previous bullet point as necessary. the same goes for when i see people engaging in bullying and harassment over fandom stuff

this is not a spoiler-free blog, especially for FE3H and Naruto. i will occasionally tag spoilers (usually for jjba and xenoblade), but not consistently

FE3H-specific stuff

please please PLEASE talk to me about Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the Nintendo Switch you're not bothering me i promise

Bernie and Sylvain are my favorite guys i think they're neat

i'm too old and tired for fe3h lord discourse. i have my own favorites and opinions, but i tend to avoid following blogs that post aggressive or uncharitable takes about the main lords

i came from twitter where Bernadetta would only really trend for negative reasons, so please understand that i'm sensitive about the way people talk about her and her fans. no hard feelings if you don't like her, and i actually agree with a lot of criticism about her writing, but i try to keep anything too mean out of sight

That's it for now! Thanks for reading/skimming/whatever you just did, and I hope you'll stick around!

Q: Do you ever send anon hate 🗣?

A: I never send anon hate. If you want to double-check whether it was me sent a hate message on anon or not, contact me directly. I also send asks from @altamont498 (my main blog) when anon isn’t an option or upon request.

Q: Do you ever post spoilers for your F/Os' fandoms? ⚠

A: Yes, and they may not always be marked. Proceed with caution!

Q: Regarding yourself and Ryunosuke and/or Kazuma, what era is your self-ship set in? 🗓

A: Usually in the DGS era (circa 1900 C.E) but sometimes deviate to write modern AU stuff or “timeless” stuff where no timeframe is mentioned. Though most of the time it’s set after the events of DGS 1 & 2.

A: You sure can! But I'd prefer if you asked me first.

Q: Why do you use stylised text when writing out character names or fandom names instead of plain text?

A: I use stylised names to make sure that the name can be communicated across in full where appropriate, but also to ensure that some of my posts don't make it out into general circulation.

Especially because I know that some people don't want self ship content clogging up certain tags out there on Tumblr.

I know that this can cause issues for people who are reliant on screenreaders, and for that I can only apologise.

For those in need of filters, you can block the aforementioned tags.

TW: MENTIONS OF DISCOURSE, GR//MING, P/D/PHILIA, ASS//LT, C//NSENT, D//RK CONTENT.

- this isnt under a read more because i want people to read this, but please read past this/tread carefully if you cannot handle such topics. this is not meant to be interacted with.

I'm not sure how to really go about this. I've been overthinking if I should address this and bring up some stuff while I've been gone, so sorry the absence. I deleted the tumblr app a few days ago and I downloaded it again today so i could post this. I really don't like making posts like this because it cuts the vibe that I've been trying to portray that everything is okay and it makes me feel really disconnected to you guys. I am sorry for the abrupt absence and cutting off any source of communication between us. I knew if I left any form of direct line of talk to me that I would receive hate and I just mentally decided that I cant sit through being harassed right now.

Have you guys ever paid attention to the same people who always have a statement to say or is always in discourse? It's very telling how everyone can post about me, but I shouldnt dare post about them. I'm tired of not being able to post about what I want without people vague posting about me, bringing me up every time they start another discourse with another writer or directly talking about me. My days on here are starting to feel the same. Its good then it goes bad. Good goes bad and bad goes good. It's not even tiring, annoying, or angering -- its repetitive. When I'm not saying anything people create fake stories about me, and when i speak about it im the one starting discourse. Don't get me wrong, I'm nowhere near perfect and I have made my own mistakes. But why the fuck am I always being told to be the mature one, why am I the one who should've done better, why do you people expect so much from me. It's the fact people are always quick to say, "no one cares about you, youre fishing for attention" when they're the ones who vague and interact with me while ive been minding my business for months now. Hm. The fact people have me proudly blocked but still harass me anyways shows a lot about themselves than it does for me. How its such an issue that im a minor until it comes to demonizing, tearing down my character, gaslighting, lying and bullying. I'm a literal example of how their friend group manipulates their followers and exiles people from fandoms for not kissing their ass. except now its in your face.

Consider this my last post about this discourse. I'm not going to waste my time on people who fail to digest other peoples thoughts and opinions time and time again because theyre weak narcissists. If I so choose to decide to shit post my opinions or argue with someone, none of you should be aggravated or moved by it because youre not even supposed to be on my page. If its not something serious i will not be wasting energy that i can be using to build on myself as a growing person than on miserable old ladies that have to use fanfiction to have excitement in their pity, depressing and lackluster lives. If people so do choose to create stories or vague about me, I do not care. So I ask respectfully to people who do lurk on my page to not attempt to message, post or vague about me please. This includes sending anons to yourself to make shit happen.

Past that, something got me thinking. My (older) friend had showed me screenshots of adult writers (no one i have spoken to) that were very excited to write underaged reader with adult characters. There are other instances where writers (that you have probably read from) on here openly made reader underage while aging characters up as adults/with adults. There are many more but there's really no point in listing them nor do I really care. But least to say, the same people who are gung-ho over these pedophilic themes/stories are the same people who support predatory people.

I've been thinking about whether or not i should continue writing for the students anymore. Granted, I still think they're attractive because one snap of the fingers cant stop that. I had been teetering on this thought for awhile because of how borderline pedophilic the people are here towards my age group. I enjoy writing but not to the point of willingly being in a straight line of sight where people who are well over 16 are harassing me and lurking on my page, especially to other minors solely because they are my friends. Backtracking to the statement before, I honestly dont know if I will either stop writing or just for the students as a whole. It shows that clearly some people are using their attraction to teens with the excuse that the characters are fake. The rapid normalization on dark problematic "kinks" is disgusting and vile, and the fact that its discourse now to shame said interests is appalling. Concluding that combined with my experiences here, i feel unsafe.

***(TRIGGER WARNING)*** I dont talk about my personal life on here that much cause I dont see the need too nor do i think its anyone's business. Paired with the fact that the people i have trusted personal information with have used it against me, I will be preventing myself from opening that door. Besides that for now, I have sparsely shared I've been assaulted before. This is my first time really opening up about this and i kind of find it necessary now. Coming from someone who has been a victim of assault and CP by people my age and well over, writing nsfw has been the only way where I could feel comfortable with sex in general. I won't get into details because mentioning this is triggering already and can make people uncomfortable. It feels like anywhere I go, I'm constantly putting myself in a position to be abused. The same people who told me I didn't have to worry about my age and be judged for it, exposed the minimum comfort of keeping myself private online to demonize, judge and hurt me. People call me "extra" for being distraught about my face and age being posted because they think im trying to be sneaky which isn't the case. Its the principle that they KNEW I wasnt ready to share said things, and coming from someone who is inherently a private and closed person, she knew damn well what she was doing when posting screenshots of me on Tumblr. There is no excuse for it. The same writers who write dub/non-con can BARELY understand basic consent and its fucking terrifying. This site was the only other place I could cope without being criticized. To see people who some i was close to proudly lie on my name, (adults) say that i sent them pornographic content without their consent is so very hurtful. To watch people supposedly be victims and then use their own trauma to invalidate my own was so fucking humiliating, disgusting and nerve wracking. Although I knew I made the terrible decision to interact with stories, I have never initiated any NSFW discussion with anyone in DMs unless they did it with me first and a few times -- and trust me raise your hand I'll show you the proof. I was sure that everyone I talked to regularly knew that I was a minor, and to my general consensus, people were under the impression I was 15/16 (which I was and am).***

Whether it be victim blaming from the grooming discourse, I've been met with racism, harassment towards my friends, people wanting me to harm myself and be assaulted. I fear what will happen when i will turn 18, if the harassment will escalate and what not. A big part of me is that I'm still here anyways because it pisses people off and I don't care when I receive hate. I can take it but I don't want it. A good conscious of me knows that I should be doing what's best for me but at the end I'm still attached to my ego-self with the added fact that I sincerely enjoy interacting with my followers and posting stories.

I just don't know how the options look. I'll probably be updating my blog rules as of right now. I've been writing more sfw lately because of this and it'd be nice if you guys supported those until I properly decide. I still have plenty of requests of a bunch of characters (mostly Bakugo and Dabi) and original stuff (all sfw & nsfw) that I really wanna share with you guys. But I just ask that what I do modify that you will respect it like you would to any other writer on here.

Stay safe, keep your mask on, and thank you.

Welcome to my brain (non-fandom related edition)

Hey there! This is a personal side blog for my main @fandomblr, mostly cause I’m tired of seeing non-fandom related posts and not being able to reblog them cause my main is a fandom blog. I probably will be more active on main but here I’ll reblog (and occasionally make my own original posts) content related to the LGBTQIA community, social justice, feminism, BLM, race, culture, and ethnicity, disability, neurodivergency, mental health, and anything else that isn’t fandom related. So here’s a few things about me:

My name is Adrián, I use he/him/they/thempronouns. Specifically they/them are okay too but I prefer he/him better.

I’m 20 years old and currently a college student, so once my classes start you’ll see me interact significantly less on my blog.

I’m a 1.5 gen Mexican American immigrant, my parents had me born here on accident and then went back to Mexico City, where I was raised for twelve years until I came back to the US. I’ve been living in the US for eight years now.

I’m physically disabled and wear a foot brace irl and I’m neurodiverse (OCD, autistic, diagnosed with depression but working on it)

I’m a transmasc non-binary trans guy (my specific label is genderfaun) that is also gray-asexual and aroflux biromantic.

I’ve had multiple Tumblrs before that I deleted due to the fact that I was often harassed and cyberbullied anonymously and on my posts by transmeds, TERFS, and ace/aro exclusionists for being vocal on trans and ace discourse, so I ask that these people do not interact.

I’m Mexican so I’m a native Spanish speaker, so feel free to interact with me in español. También voy a reblogear posts en español de vez en cuando si encuentro algunos.

Speaking of discourse, I may reblog some stuff about trans and ace discourse but I’m gonna try to avoid making original posts myself cause again, don’t want to get death threats and slurs on my inbox and in my posts. I was literally targeted by neo-Nazis on this site for being openly LGBT and Mexican soooo yeahh we’re trying to avoid that again. Anyways, here are some of my beliefs:

You don’t need gender dysphoria (discomfort that comes from gender incongruence) to be trans, all you need is gender incongruence (the disconnect between your gender identity and your assigned sex at birth)

Ace and aro people belong in LGBTQIA spaces. Yes, even if they are straight and cisgender.

Trans women are women, period. I’m done being harassed by TERFS on this site, if you’re a TERF or a radfem you get blocked on sight.

Black Lives Matter, even if your feed is back to normal. In the words of Lin-Manuel Miranda, “this is not a moment, it’s the movement.”

Neopronouns and lesser known specific “MOGAI” labels don’t hurt anyone and are valid (few exceptions are with identities made up by trolls like ACAB/ACABself pronouns).

As a pale Latino I have a lot of white privilege because of my skin tone. That doesn’t mean I don’t experience oppression for my ethnicity; I still experience xenophobia and occasional racism once people find out I’m from Mexico. But I have a lot of privilege that BIPOC people do not have, especially my brown and Afro-Latino siblings. So I do my best to be an ally to people of color and learn about anti-racism.

I’m a male feminist, aka I believe all genders are equal (yes ofc I believe in non-binary genders, I myself am non-binary)

That’s about it for my beliefs, so yeah! Feel free to follow, submit posts, send asks on and off anon (but if I start getting lots of anon hate again then I’ll turn it off) or DM me. And again, transmeds, TERFs, and ace/aro exclusionists do not fucking interact. If you are any of these you will be blocked on sight.

I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts condemning yaoi fans and so called ‘fujoshis’ for fetishizing gay men or liking the kind of unrealistic relationships  found in yaoi etd. It’s the same way I’ve seen TERFs condemned, as if Yaoi was about a belief system. I’m not sure if people really understand what Yaoi is. It sure as hell isn’t a unifying philosophy that gay men should be treated like zoo exhibits. (read more for some rambly discourse)

Yaoi is full of unrealistic, idealized men having unrealistic sex and that’s kind of the point. It’s a fandom about p()rn, created by a subset of people who aren’t supposed to like p()rn. It does extended to BL (which is more romance focused.), but I think what creeps people out is the sex aspect. P()rn is, at it’s core, about sexual fantasies, and sexual fantasies aren’t rational, kosher or universally shared. It’s perfectly fine to find yaoi disgusting, or the idea of women fantasizing about gay sex gross or alien. Many find the fucked up power dynamics in yaoi to be repulsive. You can totally opt out of seeing any of it. Block them, blacklist, tell them to knock it off if they are harassing you or pressuring you into a roleplay. Assholery is in every fandom and should be dealt with accordingly. Fujoshi does mean “dirty girl” in japanese. The term is probably outdated and should be replaced because society has changed in the last 10 years since the term appeared. I would argue that the ‘dirty’ part is not about liking a particular type of gay p()rn, it’s that liking/creating p()rn is a transgressive act for women(especially in the still ultra-conservative japan). In America, there’s still an idea that young women should only be interested in having sex if they are in love, or at least should care more about romance. Yaoi is by no means something to be championed as some feminist issue. It just exists for a reason, and that reason is completely about the people who create and consume it, not about the group it..very loosely depicts.  I was a major anime and yaoi fan for most of the 2000s. I was just starting to get out of it when the term ‘Fujoshi’ appeared on the web. I spent a lot of time hunting for scanlations in the bowels of the internet and saving artwork from japanese sites. I’d run across straight guys ranting about Fujoshi from time to time in 4chan, or forum threads. According to them, Fujoshi were obnoxious self-obsessed, fat, ugly girls who were either sexually repressed or couldn’t get  laid. I remember seeing some webcomics or stand alone panels depicting them invading conventions. I would find this stuff mostly on hentai sites, or +18 comics with a hentai aesthetic. They just couldn’t understand why yaoi existed, why it was encroaching on their anime p()rn space. This new tumblr mini crusade against fujoshi reminds me of that, depicting a group by the worst qualities of some of their members to shame the whole group into vanishing.  I’ve been poking around in the fujoshi tag and lots of people seem to be ashamed that they were yaoi fans in the past. I’m not one of them. To me, it's just another fandom that I was in, like Homestuck or anime. I did some dumb things when I was a teenager because of my interest, but I think every person in fandom could say that. It was a good, solid fandom with some amazing people. When I was active (about 8-10 years ago), there were tons of content creators, translators, several large archive sites dedicated to hosting material, elaborate forums and a decent sense of community. There’s nothing for me to be ashamed of, unless I want to start being ashamed of liking illustrated p()rn, which I don’t. 

tl:dr; Yaoi isn’t about dehumanizing a certain group of people, unlike TERFs, there’s no shared philosophy. Yaoi is p()rn, and p()rn is about fantastical sex. If a person is treating you like shit or harassing people because they view them as objects, talk to them about their bad behavior or send a message. Teens especially have trouble with the distinction between fantasy and reality, it’ll be a good learning experience for them on the path to adulthood. Assholery is assholery no matter where it comes from and shouldn’t be overlooked. EDIT: I had to edit so many words to get this to show up in searches. We need to get a better sight, tumblr is awful.

if yugioh's not been sent in already, voltron?

YGO was answered here, so I’ll go ahead and answer for Voltron. =)

The first character I first fell in love with:

KEITH. It was pretty much love at first sight. Literally, from the second he showed up on his hoverbike, I knew. I knew he was The Boy™. Everything I saw after that point only further convinced me that my intuition was exactly on the mark.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:

Hmmm, I’m honestly not sure. I didn’t go into this show with any expectations, so I don’t think I can really answer this question, haha.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:

LANCE. It’s not that I hate him, or even that I strongly dislike him, but I can’t stand fanon!Lance and, more specifically, the way his stans treat him / other characters (especially Keith and Shiro) / other fans. God damn jesus fuck, his stanbase has all but ruined him for me. It’s sad.

The character I love that everyone else hates:

It breaks my heart to say this, but KEITH. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Keith has his fans, but goddamn does fandom at large love to bash and treat him terribly. ;_; Keith, sweetie, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry this ugly ass fandom treats you this way. You deserve better.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Lance once again. I mean, I didn’t love him, but I liked him, and then … then I encountered the fandom …

The character I would totally smooch:

I want to give Shiro a kiss on the cheek and then a hug.

The character I’d want to be like:

Allura. She knows how to have fun and have her soft moments, but she’s also very intelligent and capable as well as headstrong. Girl is a role model for sure.

The character I’d slap:

Lance deserves a smack upside the head for how he sexually harasses Allura (because yes, constantly and aggressively hitting on someone when they make it clear they do not want that DOES in fact count as sexual harassment, even if it’s PG-rated harassment), as well as how he tries to pick fights with Keith regardless of how serious the situation is at the moment. Boy needs to get clue, and maybe a clap upside the head would give him one. (Then again, he’s a teenager, so … might ask Pidge to do it for me instead. >_>)

A pairing that I love:

Keith/Allura and Pidge/Lance are the two romantic ships I care about. I think they’re both great. However, platonic Keith & Shiro is my favorite relationship in the show.

A pairing that I despise:

Keith/Lance. I didn’t mind it when I had only watched the show itself, despite not actually shipping it, but once again, the Lance stanbase and rabid shippers have ruined it for me. I absolutely, positively cannot stand it now. I know that there are perfectly nice people who ship it, and I mean no offense to them, but … yeah. It’s been ruined for me. Sorry, guys. =/

That said, although I am not an anti, I also NOTP romantic Keith/Shiro because trying to view their interactions as romantic squicks me out. Like, I even tried to give it a shot. I loaded up my favorite episode, 2x08 “The Blade of Marmora” to see if perhaps I could see it as romantic … and by the time we hit the part where they’re going to the Blades’ base in the Red Lion I felt my skin getting the creepy crawlies at the idea of the two of them being romantically involved, because their interactions just feel intensely familial to me, particularly in the sense that Shiro feels like a guardian figure for Keith. (Whether it’s big brother or a sort of blend of big brother / promoted to parent, like Guy and Luke in Tales of the Abyss, given that there’s only a four year* age difference there but Guy still absolutely, canonically did raise Luke, and Luke’s own father says that Guy is “[Luke’s] brother, his father, and irreplaceable friend” as a result of how he “looked after and cared for Luke”. It’s like that.) I also get a lot of Sycamore and Alan vibes from them (to the point of joking that their relationship is a Sycamore & Alan space AU), and since Sycamore is Alan’s (unofficially adoptive) father … yeah … I really cannot see Keith and Shiro’s relationship as being remotely romantic. It’s a squick.

Though, again, to reiterate: I am not an anti, and I’ve honestly never had a negative interaction with someone who romantically ships them / don’t want to Discourse™ with anyone over anything. You do you. It squicks me, but that’s why I use Tumblr Savior and stay in my own lane. I’m not here to harass anyone, shame anyone, or anything like that. You do you, I’ll do me, and we can all peacefully coexist and be friends. ♥ (I hope, anyway. If not, uh, block and move on? Easiest way to handle it, tbh.)

(Note to Everyone: Do not start Discourse™ over this or I will block you immediately. Also, DO NOT reblog, thanks. I do not want the Discourse™, I want no part in that whatsoever. Thanks!)

Some miscellaneous FAQs are available below the cut.

Q: Do you ever send anon hate 🗣?

A: I never send anon hate. If you want to double-check whether it was me sent a hate message on anon or not, contact me directly. I also send asks from @a1tam0nt (my main blog) when anon isn’t an option or upon request.

Q: Do you ever post spoilers for ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴀᴄᴇ ᴀᴛᴛᴏʀɴᴇʏ ᴄʜʀᴏɴɪᴄʟᴇꜱ, ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏᴅ ᴏꜰ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴄʜᴏᴏʟ or ʙᴜɴɢᴏ ꜱᴛʀᴀʏ ᴅᴏɢꜱ? ⚠

A: Sometimes, yes. But these spoilers will be clearly marked and tagged so you can filter them accordingly. They will also be tagged #spoilers when appropriate.

⚠️NOTICE: From July 27th 2022, spoilers for ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴀᴄᴇ ᴀᴛᴛᴏʀɴᴇʏ will no longer be tagged or concealed (i.e. hidden behind a "read more".)

Q: Do you take NS//FW (not safe for work/“explicit”) asks/submissions? 😳

A: NS//FW stuff has been officially transferred over to @reds-self-shipsafterdark, my NS//FW blog, though said blog is officially for adults only.

Some NS//FW content still remains from the past. These are tagged #NSFW and #Smut as appropriate.

Q: Regarding yourself and Ryunosuke and/or Kazuma, what era is your self-ship set in? 🗓

A: Usually in the DGS era (circa 1900 C.E) but sometimes deviate to write modern AU stuff or “timeless” stuff where no timeframe is mentioned. Though most of the time it’s set after the events of DGS 1 & 2.

Q: What are your self-ship tags 🏷?

A: For myself/Ryuu, it’s #OTP: Red Dragon, for myself/Q it's #OTP: Red Joker, for myself/Kazuma it’s #OTP: Red Headband and for me/Chuya it's #OTP: Red Wine, for myself/Ranpo it's #OTP: Red Detective, and for myself/Kiyotaka it's #OTP: Red Vase And when all are grouped together I use all tags as well as the tag #Red’s Polycule.

I may on occasion use the character name and the tag #self ship, so you can filter accordingly using Tumblr’s in-built tag filtering system or your favourite Tumblr-enhancing web extension/app.

Q: I also ship myself with these guys, can I still follow and/or interact? 👉👈🥺

A: You sure can.

Q: Can I add you on Discord? ➕💬

A: Sure! My Discord name is available upon request.

If your Discord name is different to your Tumblr name (e.g. on Tumblr you’re “sampleusername123″ and on Discord you’re “otherusername456#123″) then please contact me to let me know the difference in order to avoid disappointment.

⚠ If I don’t otherwise recognise the username (and perhaps if I don’t know you very well) then the request will be declined.

Q: Why do you use stylised text when writing out character names or fandom names instead of plain text?

A: I use stylised names to make sure that the name can be communicated across in full where appropriate, but also to ensure that some of my posts don't make it out into general circulation.

Especially because I know that some people don't want self ship content clogging up certain tags out there on Tumblr.

I know that this can cause issues for people who are reliant on screenreaders, and for that I can only apologise.

For those in need of filters, you can block the aforementioned tags.

For all further enquiries, please send me an ask or drop me a private message.
