just if for a minute aka fake marriage au <33333333333 my Miami idiots

all our words were worth it aka my collection from Simon's month. so many one-shots here that deserved a solo work or continuation but alas i only have two hands

for the tree's sake aka tree boys au aka the fic that started it all.

we sure make things work aka Wille's month. i feel like you can see how much my writing has improved since these, even when you just compare it to Simon's month

5. Do you respond to comments?

i do my very very best to. i have gotten very behind on it but i do read every comment and my heart bursts out of my chest at every single one

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i usually try to give a happy or hopeful ending? maybe Only for Coffee because they're still technically broken up and we don't know what happens after? although I guess also Fright Fest! because they're both still actively bleeding out lmao

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

'just if for a minute' probably? spoilers i guess but they sort their shit out and are literally legally bound together. but like i said i try to give all my Wilmon a happy ending. (for now)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

so far so good! i've been put in jail quite a few times but i think that was all out of love/hate

9. Do you write smut?

haha. yes ✝️

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

oh lord. i dont know. i've gotten comments about my like, descriptions of the setting? and world building.

i worry i am a bit repetitive, esp with like metaphors and shit. there's only so many ways I can describe tension, u know?

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

uh. fun? no harm no foul? i think in some fics it matches the vibes, but me personally i dont usually do more than pet names and the occasional 'tack' or 'snälla'. for funsies.

18. First fandom you wrote for?

i believe all my 1d and hp and other rpf has been wiped from existence (thank god) but young royals is the first i've actually posted on ao3 for

19. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Running with Wolves. so much love to all my other fics - special shoutout to ftts for being my first wilmon born - but this crime fic has taken over all my thoughts and i have had so much fun crafting ways to make these boys miserable and to make this world feel real and tangible and dangerous. it's one of my least popular and i literally don't care because.... little lamb.

i think lots of people have done this and or been tagged a million times so here's some more tags for u <3 @pagegirlintraining @willesredlights @hergrandplan @royalwilmon @skibasyndrome

Major Fallen Through Time spoilers/potential plot discussions.

I have been meaning to discuss another aspect of changes in CTW/FTT -- spoilers beneath the cut? Kinda? Like I do fully discuss my plans and different options, not to the extent of every single change and all that, but nothing is set in stone, I'm just cut between trying to manage expectations, not disappoint people, while also judging what feels believable for the story --

So folk are getting very excited (which I LOVE) about how the adventure portion of the story would change -- a lot of people thinking Theo would end up on the Pearl with Elizabeth, as a captive of Barbossa.

The problem is...I can't actually think of a sequence of events where that would work? Like, the pirates make it very clear that they're happy to kill everybody in that mansion who is not Elizabeth. They kill the footman (butler?), and she has to make the maid hide so that she doesn't also die. I think they'd kill Theo. And that, by some miracle, even if they didn't, there'd be no convincing them to take a random spare along with them. All they want is the gold, and the Turner blood.

I did toy with the idea of them basically being like "we're sisters! we both work here!" and insisting they're both Turners, but a) Theo is quite a few years older than Elizabeth, and I think the only reason Elizabeth's story is so believable is that her and Will are the same age, and b) I just don't think the pirates would buy that...and even if they did, they don't NEED two Turners?

I think the odds of Theo surviving the whole thing are small, and the odds of them taking her along with Elizabeth are even slimmer. There's also the fact that Theo basically needed this arc to get a chance to prove her knowledge to Jack, impress him, and show she can hold her own. If she's on the Pearl with Barbossa, she can't do that half as much.

SO my plan was as follows:

The attack begins, Elizabeth sends Theo away with the maid to fetch help. The maid runs for the Fort, Theo runs to Norrington's house. There, she finds Hattie (either dead, injured, or in the process of trying and failing to fight off the pirate who attacks them in CTW, I hadn't decided that yet), and either saves her or uhhh? It seems a cop-out to not have her die tbh, but I'd be willing to "settle" on a pretty dire set of injuries (no SA though, not doing that, not willing to do that).

After that, things would more or less follow the CTW-verse, but start to diverge once Theo and Elizabeth are once again reunited - because by that point, Elizabeth would have to find out that Theo at least knew something of what was going to happen, and even a saint would not take kindly to that immediatley post-kidnapping, and of course the change also impacts Elizabeth convincing James to go after Will "as a wedding present".

That is what feels right and fitting and uhhh, for lack of a better word, "real" to me as far as the stories go, but I'm seeing a lot of excitement for big grand changes and I just do not want to disappoint 🫠🫠🫠🫠

So lmk your thoughts, all that, and we'll see ig.

[randomkidstarfic]

hey hey!! i’m so happy to see BOM return to regular updates, but i was also wondering if you’ve been thinking of resuming FTTS?

It will return eventually. I've unfortunately hit a bit of writers block with where I am in the story at the moment, and I don't want to post all the chapters I have then have to go on another long hiatus. The inspiration will hit eventually. Sorry it's been so long.

[salty-cs]

The FTT post jprspereira made about raven being 10nons got deleted, even staff knows it was bs. Keep that up please so you can get banned or restricted from posting your shitty advices

A Guide to Abbreviations and Terminology on Chicken Smoothie

Ah, yes! CS abbreviations. There are so many, lol, especially trading lingo. Let's see...

Pets' Growth Stages

OK, to start off there are a handful of easy abbreviations that refer to pets' growth stages:

PPS / EPPS / and kinda, sorta GUPPS

PPS stands for Peter Pan Syndrome and refers to a pet that will never grow to an adult stage. It's usually an "outcome" in a litter that is a little special like that c: Most (but not all) PPS pets will have that abbreviation on the pet image, and the pet info page will say: "PPS This pet has "PPS". What's that? Here's a PPS pet from February:

EPPS is a term that means "early" or "extreme" PPS and is used to refer to PPS pets that never grew from their newborn/first stage. Here's an EPPS pet from February:

Finally, GUPPS stands for "grown up" PPS. This one's a bit weirder because it refers almost exclusively to pets that are released during the advent calendar, when artists of a PPS pet released earlier in the year choose to create an adult version of it. For example, this puppy was originally released in Oct. 2023, then the artist made a "grown up" version for the Advent Calendar in December. The grown up version is a GUPPS:

Trading

The shorthand "WL" stands for "Wish List." The acronym "FTT" stands for Fair-Trade Thread, which is a very popular and useful thread on the forum where you can post a link to a trade you sent or received, and other users will give their opinion on whether it seems fair or not. Some users refer to duplicate pets of the same outcome as "dupes."

Trading Status There are also some shorthand terms users will write into their pet names or pet group names that give you an idea of their trading status, like:

HTTF - "hard to trade for"

VHTTF - "very hard to trade for"

NFT - "not for trade"

UFT - "up for trade"

UFA - "up for auction," or sometimes, in the free adoptions forum board "up for adoption"

Pets' Rarities There are a handful of very easy-to-learn abbreviations that refer to pets' rarities:

OMGSC - OMG So Common

EC/XC - Extremely Common

VC - Very Common

C - Common

UC - Uncommon

VUC - Very Uncommon

EU/EUC/XUC - Extremely Uncommon

R - Rare

VR- Very Rare

ER - Extremely Rare

OMGSR - OMG So Rare

High Value Trades This is where things start to get complex. I'll explain some abbreviations that are common when trading high value pets, but if you start getting confused about what even is happening at this stage, don't stress about it: we can go over how high value trades work and whatnot in the future, if you like c:

High Value Pets Usually, the user base will agree on names for certain pet litters and outcomes to make trading and talking about pets easier. So if someone says "White February," I know they're talking about this white wolf that was originally released in 2009.There are certain high-value pets that come up so often in discussion that users have shorthanded their names into acronyms. Here are some popular examples I can think of:

BA - Black advent

BMD - Bernese mountain dog

TWA - Timberwolf advent

RBM - Rainbow mane

GWJ - Growing white July

BEG - Black-eyed galaxy

CEG - Clear-eyed galaxy

GSD - German Shepherd Dog

WWA - Winged wood angel

(Tangent: if you know the year and month a pet was released but not their (un)official name, there's a really cool archive run by CS users called Chicken Smoothie Transpets that basically functions like the archive, but it lists the widely agreed-upon names of relevant pets, including the acronyms!).

High Value Worth Shorthands Because trading high-value pets on CS can be a bit complex (since we don't know exactly how much rarer certain pets are compared to others; we only know estimates according to their rarity labels), there have been user researched and made guides to trading OMGSR and ER pets taking into account their demand and estimating how many are found up for trade. The current such guide that seems to be popular right now is Horror's [🐝] Guide to Trading Every Pet on CS. In order to trade certain high-value pets for others at the more or less agreed upon values, most of the userbase use certain labels to describe a pet's worth:

OR - Stands for Old Rares and refers to rare pets from 2010-2011

MA - Is equal in worth to 10 ORs. It stands for "Mid Advent," mostly as a leftover term from an older guide. It's not really important to know exactly why this term is used, and I feel like I am already giving you too much info, so maybe I can tell you the story another time XD. MAs are used to measure the more valuable pets on the site.

Non - Is equal in worth to 10 MAs (or 100 ORs). The term comes from the unofficial names of some of the earliest dogs to be released on CS.

True Date, Un-Released and Re-Released Pets Lore - December 18th is a really exciting day for the whole CS userbase. It is the day. The only day when all users have a chance to adopt pets that were released on previous years and are no longer available though the Adopt page. It is the only day you can adopt a very rare or more valuable pet reliably on the site—I hope you're around for that!

RR - Pets from previous years that are adopted on Dec. 18th are called Re-released pets, or RRs.

TD - In contrast, pets that were adopted in the month and year when they were originally released are called True Date pets, or TDs.

UR - Finally, Un-released pets, or URs are also adopted only on December 18th, but unlike every other pet given out on that day, UR pets have never been released normally before. They are always extremely rare and valuable. You can find the UR pets released each year under the "Special Releases" tab of the archive.

COPPA Sorry for the info-dump. Take a breath, we're back in easy territory c: You may see users mention COPPA users in their tarde rules and such. The acronym stands for "Children's Online Privacy Protection Act." To comply with this act, CS allows kids under 13 years old in the US to make an account and collect pets, but not to participate in the forums or write trade messages.

And, well, that's probably too much information already! But I hope you find it helpful. And if you have any questions about any abbreviation or terminology being used around the site, don't hesitate to ask. I promise to return a shorter answer next time! Let me know what else I can help out with or if you want to dig deeper into any of the subjects I mentioned above. c:

[captoring]

hey i don't know if this is an issue with phrasing or incorrect information, but this post gave me the impression that this threat from iceland came from their official eurovision organizers.

what has in fact happened is that on the 12th of december, icelandic artists (through musician's labor association FTT) have penned an open letter asking to not participate as a nation unless israel is disqualified.

RÚV, the national broadcaster, has not agreed to support this request. please fact check me if i'm wrong here -- i couldn't find a response statement to the open letter, negative or positive. earlier, on the 9th of december RÚV did put out a statement saying iceland would participate as normal. and again, nothing since then saying they agree to the artists request for a boycott.

the pressure the artists are creating is great, and the popular support seems to be with them, but it seems iceland is a bit far from OFFICIALLY threatening to pull out

iceland is threatening to pull out of eurovision unless israel is removed... please g-d let them blacklist israel that would be so huge

The Philippine Navy (PN) recently restored their Multi-Mission Training Simulator (MMTS) and also acquired a Navigation and Combat Management System (CMS) Simulator at their Fleet Tactical Trainer (FTT) at the Fleet Training and Doctrines Center (FTDC) at the Naval Base Heracleo Alano in Sangley Point, Cavite City.

MY NOTES: Glad to see the PN have their own Simulators also. This is the Way to go, Simulators help the Operators adopt faster to their Workstations, and also help enhance Competence as it enables them to train with various Scenarios and help them prepare them to solve these Scenarios in the Real World.
