I was tagged by @orime-stories to do this quiz about Daemons for an OC. I picked Inky, because I want something light for her right now <3

She got:

Your daemon would take the form of a perching bird! Those who have perching bird daemons are intelligent and like finding patterns, though unlike other bird daemons they are more chatty and social. They enjoy putting their inner thoughts into words and wearing their heart on their sleeves.

Your daemon would take the form of a bluebird! You are a plucky and amicable individual with a determined, high-strung energy. More so than others with perching bird daemons, those with bluebirds are emotional people who freely express their feelings and appreciate vulnerability in their relationships. They are energetic and like staying busy to keep their mind off things; they tend to be more guarded around strangers, and like to come across as capable and perfectionistic.

I'm not sure if Inky comes off as necessarily perfectionistic to strangers, but I do think some people are off-put by just how much she is and how earnest and honest she can be, even with strangers. So I think this is mostly accurate.

Also, ah. Bluebird. Hm. *wink*

I'm exhausted and can't think of who to tag right now. If you're reading this and you have an OC, please do one of these and tag me so I can read it!

Time loops are just about the whiplash of constant highs and lows until you reach the point where it becomes monotonous, but in the back of your mind it's still a rollercoaster; you're just numb to it.

Death as comedy because there are no consequences. Is it allowed to be tragedy when there are no consequences?

Watch the descent laughing until your breath is stolen by the horror and you don't know if you even care anymore.

I do love a good dance with yourself. evil clone? alternate reality version? past version? future version? metaphorical representation of the true self? they should all do a homoerotic little waltz

I feel the need to share since my lube post is going around that my life is just like that since I worked at the sex shop. Sex Ed is a very standard topic. People just immediately pick up a vibe from me and even in situations where someone doesn’t know I used to sling dildos for a living they’ll just start confiding sex stuff to me.

Not in a creeper way. But like this weight had been lifted and they can finally talk freely about sexual topics. The energy I put off is just so blasé and accepting that people tell me about their sex lives, usually very quickly after meeting me. They usually then have a moment of panic or regret and apologize but I always reassure them that I used to work in a shop and that I see nothing odd about talking about it.

My go-to line is, “I’m a creature devoid of judgement.” They always laugh. Then the questions get more specific or people start asking for brand recommendations. It’s always been funny to me.

My beloved has always been a little confused by it. “People don’t just start talking to me about sex! I know you don’t bring it up. It just always seems to go there when people talk to you.”

“It’s just my energy.”

The first time I was meeting their mom she was coming to stay with us. We picked her up from the airport and brought her home. My beloved went upstairs to use the bathroom. When they came back down their mom was asking me questions about vibrators and their jaw hit the floor.

In our room later they said, “She doesn’t even talk to me about that stuff! She’s so embarrassed about sex topics, I cannot believe she was asking you about that!”

“What can I say,” I shrugged, “I’m a creature devoid of judgement.”

Idk who needs to hear this but...write. Write about things you enjoy. About things that are "problematic". Write about controversial topics and non-controversial topics and if it's about a topic you don't know much about but you want to write about it then do your research, talk with people who know more on the subject, who live through it, but WRITE. Care about what you are creating, put love and emotion in it but don't let ANYONE gatekeep creating something that will make you happy.

A follow-up to this ^_^

For the fanfiction tropes: soulmates, mutual pining, time travel fix-it

Hiii, sorry for the delay on this and thanks for asking! Ask relates to this ask meme on rating fanfic tropes

Soulmates

C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.

My thing with soulmate fics is that I will generally give them a shot, but I have some specific hang-ups around it as a trope. These are mainly down to the handling of platonic relationships and the idea of "soulmates as destiny". I'm not a huge fan of the universe saying "you two belong together romantically" and then that's just taken uncritically because to me that raises all sorts of questions about, say, abusive relationships or whether non-soulmated relationships are seen as feasible and how this affects views of same-sex or polyamorous relationships in society. It's just... I guess I prefer it where the soulmate aspect links into the worldbuilding beyond a cursory level. And the idea that you're saddled with one person and they're "the one" for you no questions asked is something that I have a personal aversion to, which then colours my view on seeing it in fiction. But generally speaking, the worldbuilding and a nuanced approach on relationships in society is... not why most people read soulmate fic, so it makes sense that the majority of soulmate fic don't take that approach.

All that said, I'll still largely read fic that doesn't fit my specific takes on soulmates, but it becomes a very much "I am enjoying this despite" rather than "I'm enjoying this on all levels" kinda deal? And there are absolutely some writers who assuage all my qualms around this trope by having really intriguing soulmate concepts and then backing it up with the worldbuilding. So yeah, overall, very much depends on the writer.

Mutual Pining

B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.

Literally what it says on the tin. I find it hard to go wrong with reading mutual pining, but I see it as a very broad category which doesn't tell you too much in of itself, which is probably why I don't filter by it as a tag for the most part. I want the mutual pining *and* some other hook.

But anyway, I'm a big fan of characters having secrets and hiding said secrets to their own detriment so mutual pining takes this and squares it. Guaranteed win.

Time travel fix-it

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.

It makes me so sad that you can only tend to find a good solid 25k+ (50k+?) time travel fix-it if the fandom is over a certain size, and even then, it's not guaranteed.

The whole thing about characters having secrets applies here too. The idea that a character has travelled back (or multiple characters) and they have a chance to fix things, but they have to play their cards carefully for them to have a shot. They have so much knowledge that could change things for everyone but they can't risk sharing it because then they lose control of the narrative or because they worry they won't be believed. And at the same time, they *are* the domino effect. They're someone different than they used to be and it's noticeable. They have to make hard decisions and potentially let horrible things happen in order to try and achieve hope for the endgame, but they're unable to explain any of that to anyone else.

And those are only a few of the aspects I like.

“RABU”

Original story by @merakiui

So my dumbass didn't reread the fic and forgot Reader was 44 already. So here we are, young and fresh.

Funny story 2, I forgot what Rabu was until I finished all the drafts and realized, “It’s love isn't it??” (right?)

Rabu might not be categorized as my fave (coughs SK series coughs) but the ending makes me think late at night, how many options did Reader have?

So here I am, spawned to speed-run the vision in my head. Azul’s hair is too annoying so I'd rather have Floyb first (even though I really want to see Zuzu smoking). Jade’s route(?) is still vague in my mind so he’s no good as well.

I just love the idea of Papa Leech caring more about his sons, doesn't matter what Jade does, Papa Leech will forever cover his track. In this case, Papa Leech didn't care about Reader’s well-being at all, it was probably something done by Jade anyway. That’s Papa Leech’s love~.

Anyway, as I said in my previous RB, long live the seafood (by Chef Meraki!)
