>happy 1st anniversary to windo- i mean doors !!

(it's a little rushed cus i'm far too exhausted today and its close to midnight)

but woah !!! it's release day !!! no way !!!!!

i'm so glad i ever came into this fandom, it's where i met a lot of lovely people on here, it's what boosted my drive for art even more, i've made a bunch of comics for it (i've always wanted to make comics, but i never had the ideas nor the motivation to do so), it's improved my art, heck it's just made my life change for the better (as cheesy as that sounds)

not very good at articulating words, but what i'm trying to get is this game has vastly changed me (for better or for worse lmAO) i appreciate all of u for sticking around w me <3 stumbling upon my random little ideas stuck in my head about silly little creatures, so thank you and thank you to the devs of doors for making an amazing game, ngl it's one of the only games i play on roblox (other than phighting) good game, highly recommend, 11/10

This Horror Which Bleeds [ read on A03 ]

He'd known, realistically, that Lilith was gone, and that she'd no intention of coming back. The knowledge didn't make Lucifer anymore prepared to find her mark engraved on the Radio Demon's soul.

Charlie asks her father to check in with Alastor after the hotel's reconstruction. In the process, Lucifer makes a discovery, and things get worse before they get better.

Now kiss (haha Jk... Unless??? (Toby PLEASE make it "Unless"))

Ello Deltarune fandom. Guess what ship has gotten my brainrot now 2 1/2 years later. :P Because ofc I go from one f/f ship to another and cling onto it. But fr tho I love these sapphics sm. I love them so muuuuuch I'm so glad they are semi-canon just 2 chapters in.

Been wanting to draw something with them since February, but because of art block back then I decided to just let my pen go on its own since I had art block and ended up with a rough of this and hallelujah lol ^^

Seriously Toby please. Take your time ofc no rush. But please I NEED to see them together again.

Also I love Noelle's glow-y nose hc so that's mine now too thanks fandom.

wip wednesday: some two-month-old excerpts from the Next Thing

[heartstopperthoughts]

I’m curious about how you found Heartstopper! Like what’s your Heartstopper origin story?

I first read Heartstopper in Jan 2021. The third volume had just won the Goodreads reader’s choice award for best graphic novel, and I was wanting to read more queer stories and more graphic novels so I thought perfect! Two birds with one stone!

I ended up LOVING it way more than I thought I would, and my timing was perfect because right around the time I got caught up with the most recent updates online, THE SHOW GOT GREEN LIT!!! I remember literally screaming and throwing my phone across the room and dancing with joy.

Flash forward to now and I’ve got brainrot from reading it 20ish times and watching it 5 times, but I have no plans of stopping anytime soon.

No OCs? 😔 Alright, going for the Pathfinder squad. 👀

6 for Daeran and 9 for Regill pls

6 for Daeran? Man, if you asked me this six months ago I probably could've gotten pretty specific. I do love Daeran quite a bit even if my choice of MC prevented me from doing the romance (damn you, Carmen). Can I just vaguely say anything he says to Ember? I really love that kind of sibling relationship they have. I'm a sucker for when standoffish characters are good with kids. Of all the "I'll sign the adoption papers right now" characters in the game, he's the one I'm rooting for!

9 is hard because my greatest sin as a person who interacts with the Wrath fandom is that I don't like Regill. Not even in a "I have a passionate hatred" way, but in an "I don't think about this character unless you put him directly in front of me" way. Uhh. Headcanon, headcanon. I suppose I've always imagined he was aromantic? I suppose on a duty bound character that can seem cheap, but I do believe it pretty sincerely.

Session 2:

[the-yearning-astronaut]

So I just finished patching up a hole in the sleeve of my first Mass Effect jacket and I tried remembering when I first started playing.

And at first I was like. Had to have been 2018. Right?

But I felt like I had this jacket for longer than that.

So I went to my OG blog that's still floating around here, archived, and thank FUCK I've always been a compulsive tagger because I was able to search my posts and scroll for a good 10-15 minutes to find my first mass effect post.

Guys I started playing fall of 2016. 6 years ago.

Somehow that feels like both forever ago and not long enough?

Like it feels like Shepard and the Normandy crew have been with me a lot longer than that.

But. 6 years ago, I was 23. I had just finished my first degree a few months previously. Hell it was pre 2016 elections lmao.

It was an entire lifetime ago. I'm not even close to the same person I was back then. For better or worse.

just realized i've been excessively playing farming sims each year since 2016

[wanderfan2000]

I decided to create a new banner for my blog, featuring Wander and Sylvia in this AMAZING screenshot from The Little Guy! 

NTM, this particular screenshot was pretty much used as wallpapers for the Wander fandom, even the Wander and Sylvia image was used in this wallpaper created by CodyTheMaverick as well as this edit another Tumblr user made of Wander sticking his hand through the TV, inviting the viewer to go on an adventure with him and Sylvia.

As for the quote at the top? I got it from this: On today’s episode of Cody was way too many feeling for an orange fuzzball. (I guess you can say that @codythemaverick is an inspiration to me and she always will be! ^_^

being in true sexyman nostalgia mode today (on account of. IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR BABY.) i think one of the most fascinating things about it is that we will never manage to do that again. like, not in a "we couldn't organize it better" way; there were better ways to do the spreadsheet, we would just turn off comments on posts and anon asks from day one so that we wouldn't then get people accusing us of censorship while we tried and failed to control the tide of things that ended up in the comments and inbox, we'd definitely have a WAY higher non-hermit contingent, both thanks to qsmp and thanks to the sexyman blog and medusa now having MUCH wider reach to other corners of the fandom and the original spread not all rooting at me, etc.

but the reason we couldn't do it again is that i don't know if we could ever replicate the exact circumstances that lead to it blowing up quite to the extent it blew up.

it was while tumblr polls and doing tumblr poll brackets on tumblr itself was still new-ish, and people were still excited about them. the idea of a mcytblr bracket was basically brand new; i won't claim we did it FIRST (because i have no idea if we did and doubt we did), but certainly we did it big first. so there's that; we can never again invent in real time "shit people are sending us threats about fraud lets legalize fraud because its funny, we can't stop it, and that neutralizes that drama as a thing anyone will take seriously", and then in turn accidentally invent a fandom culture of. um. wide-spread voter fraud.

(i don't know if we should apologize for, uh, causing the specific way mcytblr voter frauds. i still think it was better than the alternative at least, especially after seeing how so many other polls crashed and burned after us. there were MANY things we could have done better but i have seen SO MANY ways we could have done things worse since then so i think we came out looking pretty okay.)

but also: february 2023 was a very different time in mcytblr. we were in a hermitcraft dead period, where most of the hermits were either on vacation or playing tcg (which was fun, but didn't end up generating that much fandom activity by that time in february). the former dsmp crew was very much doing Nothing (and in that awkward space when the entire fandom knew dsmp 2 was never happening, but also people were still claiming it would happen, so it was just... busy waiting). qsmp didn't exist yet. there was no ongoing life series and wouldn't be for some time. i think even the dominioners and lifestealers were in a fairly dead zone. there was very little new for people to be excited about, mcyt content-wise.

enter: our poll. our poll which cleo then thinks its funny to call out on twitter. our poll, which was not only new mcyt content for the fandom to interact with (thanks to the fact we KEPT GETTING CC INTERACTIONS???), but participatory.

for about two weeks, we were the mcyt event de jour.

and like. the thing is. now we're in february 2024. mcyt is BOOMING. a new hermitcraft season JUST STARTED. we came off of vault hunters before that. meanwhile, qsmp just restarted and is, if i'm understanding correctly, booming. they just added a new guy! the two current juggernauts of the fandom are in FULL SWING. i honestly think we'd be somewhat overtaken by the fact things are actually happening in fandom. there's stuff to do that ISN'T go insane about a poll.

and it's not new, and we've seen it all before now, and frankly, it's hard to cause a mass hysteria event TWICE. lightning in a bottle, as they say.

i think part of the reason we all just REMEMBER mcytblr sexyman so much is that we could never, ever recreate it, so it remains crystalized in a single moment in time, impossible to replicate, forever memorable.

anyway: HAPPY ONE YEAR TO THE JOE HILLS SWEEP BABY,
