#i really appreciate you <33

[beingsuneone]

Hi kaillei! I read one of your recents posts about ur writing and it made me so sad because I can actually relate to what you wrote but I went through your masterlist when I had sometime during my schoolbreaks today and I really liked your writings!! I think they are really great and have a nice flow! I'm usually skeptikal with minors' writings because I have been traumatized by years of falling upon poorly written Wattpad bad boy stories and fanfictions (I know this doesn't apply to ALL minors but you get my point right?) but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with your works. They just have that thing that makes them special. I especially liked the Recollection Yoongi fic. It really made my heart clench :,) Anyways, you're doing great and just remember that numbers don't make you a better writer or so❤️

😭 hi, I saw the notifs and I was lil confused lol but that was really sweet of you and I just wanna say thank you so much. I totally get being skeptic ao about minors writing (believe me I have to actively avoid most fics because they’re either absolutely wattpad or 18+) I think the reason it makes me sad is like I know my writing isn’t bad <\3 like sure it’s not the best but I’ve grown through my cringey phases and I have deadass abandoned wips that felt like too much or too dramatic. And like, I know numbers don’t matter, they really don’t but it can be a tad disheartening seeing things that I spent so much time on and put so many emotions into not reaching people. You know, something about not being able to see people reacting to it and experiencing everything and more than I did while writing it.

You know, funnily enough I’ve gotten a lot of praise on recollections and it was one of the story’s that I felt like I didn’t do so well on, I honestly felt like I forced myself into finishing it and, while I knew it was good (I wouldn’t have posted it otherwise), I just felt like I could do so much better. However, reading back on that story I liked it a lot more.

uhhhhh meant to post this a hot minute ago, but just wanted to tell my followers that i'm probs not gonna be writing for ANY of the natlan characters (minus capitano) or doing any commissions for them. pretty sure i don't even have to explain why, we all know why. it's not even out of spite or having a massive hate boner, just sheer disappointment and my already low expectations being underdone in the worst way possible.

i expected this from mihoyo, but i'm not expecting them to change anything, sadly, because they already pulled this with sumeru. i doubt mihoyo would ACTUALLY listen to the genuine complaints and feedback that certain parts of the fandom have to say. which is disheartening, but imo, if they aren't gonna get revenue from some people, then they'll just focus and pay attention more to the groups who will give them money for the upcoming characters. it sucks, BUT that doesn't mean that you guys can't share your thoughts and opinions on natlan and its cast. everyone is entitled to feel how they feel, and that's okay, great even! but i do hope those people in the fandom genuinely understand why some people think the way they do about natlan and why they're so upset in the first place.

and to anyone who will tell me to "just play a different game," i will admit that genshin has a special place in my heart. it's the game that kickstarted me into writing and doing my comms. however, just because i love a game doesn't mean i can't have genuine criticism towards it! just because you love something doesn't mean you can't point out when it's doing something you feel uncomfortable with.

You should in fact infodump about poptropica, also have you considered doing a DCA Poptropica crossover to unite the interests together?

1) I love you so much dude I hope you're doing well 2) poptropica infodump would take AGES this thing has lore so I will spare you a ramble for now 3) I . HAVE NOT. BUT COULD YOU IMAGINE SUN AND MOON WITH THE BIG BOBBLE HEADS

Hi hi!!!! I saw your sizzy HCs and I would love it if you did TMI gang HCs for the future when they have kids and all💗 How do they all interact with their kids/each other’s kids? That ask about Jace’s kids made me laugh I feel like his kids would have a jar for him to put money in whenever he’s too cocky, kinda like New Girl with Schmidt

simon and izzy are the go-to babysitter couple of the bunch for sure, given that they aren't running an institute or, you know, the entire clave. they're also the most likely to have a movie or game night, which the kids absolutely love

because the cousins span over a decade in ages, there seems to always be a baby to hold, and clary is always the first one to reach for them (followed by alec)

jace is stricter as a father than might be expected. not in a harsh way, but in a protective way. in a 'i want you to learn how best protect yourself and your family' way. he's definitely a teacher, in a very physical way, and loves spending time in the training room with his kids and niblings (not that this makes him any more mature or less ridiculous at his core hehe)

creativity and expression are very well supported by all members of the tmi gang, and their children develop a good amount of confidence when it comes to being themselves and not necessarily folding into shadowhunter (or warlock) norms

magnus loves taking the kids on adventures and showing them things they might never have gotten to see if they didn't have a very powerful warlock for an uncle, but he is also very protective, moreso than some of the other parents. he's seen too many people die to knowingly bear witness to human/shadowhunter recklessness in these kids he cares so much for

alec is the first one to suggest they let rafe go out on patrol, not without alec ofc. that first patrol is a fun one. jace is there too. he's muchhh less strict with his niblings than he is with his own kids, and he tends to treat them much more like how he treats kit. hence the fun hehe rafe has a blast, and the whole time alec's anxiety is through the roof.

all the cousins are scared of izzy's cooking. even if she's gotten better as the years have gone on, their parents have ingrained in them too much fear for the food she makes not to be wary when she holds out a wooden spoon with a questionable substance on it. usually the kids ask for pizza. or a delivery of chinese food (like parents like kids hehe)

I am so in love with Mumbo taking up sewing and making everyone outfits and things. And making Grian his sweater, my heart. And just, everything about the two of them, I love them. T-T Also something about Grian going to find Mumbo in the rain, and now Mumbo is trying to find him after a fire... (also also you keep saying 'if you want' Ange I always want, I love Ange rambles)

-🎀

something about sewing actually requiring long hours of sitting still. his hands are moving, though, and there is progress constantly! he's learning to calm himself and to stay put in a way, while feeling productive and useful. it's a bit of a struggle at first, but he settles into it, finding that it helps him feel calm and grounded <3

and he likes figuring things out! whether it's tailor cuts or patterns or, you know, the redstone for the stage. it puts him at ease to have a problem to solve (a harmless one!!)

and and and. yes!!

him and grian together are so precious to me. so important.

i know boatem circus au fics so far have focused on mostly scar and grian, but this is behind the scenes, and grian had more than just scar to rely on. mumbo's done a lot for him!! and he is so attached, he did his best for mumbo too!

... and. mmhm. mumbo's now trying to find him.

thinking what if he won't? what if this is it? what if he failed?

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

[elliotts-letters]

hey Elliott! i have a few questions for you, if that's alright? don't feel forced to answer them all, i genuinly don't mind if you just pick one :)

- Do you prefer orange juice or apple juice?

- Do you read/write fanfiction? (bonus points if you specify which fandom)

- What's your favorite flower? mine are dandelions, what are your opinions on those?

- How do you get through writers block (if/when you experience it)?

- Do you draw?

(to the mod: Thank you so much for running so many blogs for the sdv fandom!! i follow your shane and elliott ask blogs and you put so much work into maintaining so many. all the kudos to you 🤍🤍🤍🤍)

those are all questions i'm here to answer. please, ask to your heart's desire. let's begin.

i have a preference for orange juice; apple juice tends to be a bit too sweet and straightforward for my taste.

as for fanfiction, it doesn't seem like i'm earning any bonus points there... i haven't ventured into it myself.

all flowers have their merits, but i would say a classic red rose stands out the most to me. dandelions are widely considered weeds where i'm from, so i struggle to see them as flowers. they're more like plants, in my eyes. however, that does not mean they don't have their own unique beauty. when i'm experiencing writers block, i find it helpful to take a step back and think. i ponder what i can change and what i've already done successfully. i also find it helpful to look at the world around me for inspiration. in other writers, or while staring at the ocean... there is a lot to be learned. i wouldn't consider myself particularly skilled in drawing, though i do dabble in it from time to time. i've tried oil painting and seem to enjoy that medium the most.

THE MOON IS SO BIG TONIGHT

- hero-of-the-wolf

Djskfjidkejsdkg I saw it it was so cool!

I knew it was the solstice so spent a while looking at her while walking Stitch, my mum also pointed it out to me. The moon is so beautiful I love her.

The full moon of June's happening on the same day (ish) as the solstice which is rare- she's gonna be really pretty tonight and tomorrow too! Go look at the moon everybody, all this weekend she's gonna look fairly full. If it's cloudy I will flip some tables. but luckily I'm not in a big city with as much light pollution now so I'll probably be able to see her well :)

I love the moon :D

Learning about things referenced in Red, White & Royal Blue

Over the last 20 days I’ve been sharing a series where we learn about things referenced in Red White & Royal Blue. I shared a post similar to this at the start, with my intended post list, updating the links as I posted them. Now I have come to a stopping point - at least for now, I do have some other ideas but i want to let the film release happen first - I wanted to share the complete list, with all the posts linked. They are listed in order of posting, not in order of appearance in the book.

It would be great if you could reblog this to share it more widely! I am really pleased with the feedback i’ve received from it & so happy that it’s helping others learn about things just as it helped me. This was always an attempt to learn together, and it warms my heart to see people’s tags that prove we have been doing so. If you do have any ideas that we might want to cover in the future, let me know! I love learning and I love sharing my new knowledge with others.

"Ishizu."

For a moment, another name had been on the tip of his tongue. He can't quite place it, but regardless, that ridiculous sensation causes Seto's mood to sour even further than it already has - and the scowl on his face darkens with a look that to most would be intimidating.

Somehow, he doubts it is to her. And that thought irritates him enough to speak first.

"I was hoping you'd had enough of those nonsense tales of yours." There's no greeting, no further acknowledgement he gives her - instead, Seto speaks as rudely as ever, insulting Ishizu without a care in the world for how she might react. This is familiar territory to him - the struggle for power is a game he's played all his life, and he knows that it's always best to make the first move. But if she's waiting for him to slip up and show weakness... she's going to find herself sorely disappointed.

"Do you actually need something from me, or are you just trying to waste my time? For both our sakes, I'd rather we make it quick."
