[kenobster]

The work task I have right now is infuriatingly mind numbing... Thus, for my lunch break, I went rogue at work, installed gimp, and photo-edited some random American Heist screenshots in order to more vividly imagine what Anakin's face is about to look like in 5PE. 😍

Also, FYI, you should thank me because I searched all of pinterest yesterday and found no photo edits of this scene. None. 🙄 Like sheesh, y'all, is the concept of whump entirely foreign to Pinterest peeps? Do I really gotta do everything myself around here? JFC. 😆

P.S. If the photo editing makes these look overedited, then I am blameless and innocent, and you should totally blame my shitty work monitor. 😊 It certainly had nothing to do with me being a dweeb who doesn't know how to photoedit, no sir, not at all.~

P.P.S. If you like the photo editing though, you can absolutely use these for whatever purpose that strikes your fancy, babes. You can make them your profile picture. You can repost them to your blog. Hell, you don't even have to credit me. Do whatever you want with this bloodied up blorbo material ❤️

[pacific-rimbaud]

Love and Other Historical Accidents is one of the most romantic things I've ever read and I can bring myself to tears just thinking about it honestly. The last chapter confession from both Draco and Hermione just kills me. Thank you so much for sharing it with us ❤️ What are your inspirations for romance writing?

Honestly Jane Austen. I vividly remember watching Sense and Sensibility as a young teenager and wanting that feeling again and again. She's one of the greatest character writers in English, and she communicates something timeless about love and partnership. Who deserves our time? What does it look like to be seen? Cherished? There's a reason she's passionately read 200 years later. E.M. Forster, Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, and Tolstoy are also frequent rereads for me.

I don't really read within the romance genre outside of fanfiction. I love reading my friends' novels, and have liked a couple of contemporary and historical romances over the years, but broadly speaking, straight-up romance has never been my deal. I constantly lose my heart to fictional men and the women who love them, though: Howl and Sophie, Jack and Phryne, Kaz and Inej, Lockwood and Lucy, Palamedes and Camilla (brb sobbing into my cappuccino), Westley and Buttercup in both film and novel (though let's be honest, Westley and Inigo...mmf poly triad, maybe?)

I did a lot of imaginative play with Barbies as a kid, and for me, fanfiction feels like lying on the summer lawn of my imagination getting my blorbos and meow meows into Situations and making them kiss. Bonus serotonin for me if there's a tinge of Gabriel Oak or Captain Wentworth or Mr. Knightley. At its best it's shamelessly self-serving and private and absorbing, and it's always kind of wondrous when other people enjoy it.

Thank you for the ask!

[artekai]

tag game (Horizon)

Thanks @nerd-artist for tagging me!! I am flattered :3

1. ride or die ship (your otp): GAIA/Lis ❤️ I felt so validated when Sylens said the "two moms" thing, you have no idea.

2. most annoying ship: I plead the fifth

3. second favourite ship: Erevad! I never considered them until I read a really good fic about them and I was sold lol.

4. favourite platonic relationship: Hmm 🤔 I really enjoy Aloy & Sylens :D I missed him a lot in HFW (given he wasn't in our Focus any longer). mlm-wlw hostility real. Also, Aloy & Gildun and Aloy & Morlund are both very sweet but I suppose they have similar vibes lol.

5. underrated ship: Any of the ones I mentioned lol, I feel like they don't get as much love as others, haha. Which is understandable because it makes sense to gravitate more towards the GAIA gang! But other than that 🤔 I think Aloy/Zo and Aloy/Alva are pretty cute and underrated, even if I don't exactly ship them myself c:

6. overrated ship: I plead the fifth

7. one thing i would change in canon: *side eyes HFW hard*

Just one thing, though? I'd have to concur with most of the people I've seen do this tag game so far and say it's Varl's death. I'm pissed about that.

8. something canon did right: Other people have also mentioned it before me, but I think Horizon's writing excels at the datapoints. Just slowly having to figure out the past, putting the pieces together, getting glimpses of the tragedies (and the little joys) that once happened in those places, filling in the blanks... The environmental storytelling is amazing 👌. The intrigue, the curiosity, the mystery. It really scratches the urge to explore abandoned places and imagine what it was life was like for the people who once lived in them, so close yet so far away. HZD really did it well with the Zero Dawn facilities and I think HFW captured that magic again with Thebes. I crave more of that.

9. a thing i'm proud of creating for the fandom PLEASE BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF I WANT TO SEE/READ YOUR ART: I'm not sure I can say anything I make is "for the fandom" since I only make OC stuff 😭 Believe me, I want to be more integrated in the fandom, but not as much as I want to focus on the blorbos from my brain 😔

I guess I can mention To Err is Human, my vampire AU fic, since, if all goes according to plan, that should be relatively fairly split between my OCs and canon characters. Sorry that it's taken me so long to update tho :( As for art, please look at my man :) And here he is again with my favorite Aloy I've drawn lol. I also still really like this one! Also this. And this. And this. And

I've realized I could go on all day actually so I'll stop myself now lol.

10. a character who is perfect to me (wouldn't change a thing): Sylens. I love him, crimes and all.

11. the character I relate to the most and why: Beta. Something something about characters who have the same neuroses as you but in their world their neuroses are justified (sigh). And Gildun! His quest in Burning Shores really grabbed me by the throat, oof. In some ways I also relate to Aloy but not as much, I think.

12. character(-s) i hate the most and why: Well, I could just name the usuals, Ted Faro, the Ceo, Lansra, etc. But they're the characters we're meant to hate, so, ironically, it doesn't feel right to say I hate them, you know? I appreciate a well-crafted villain, and I definitely appreciate their role in the narrative. So, do I really hate them? Yes but actually no.

It's like that one post that goes "I don't care if a villain is redeemable or not but by god please make them interesting." I would be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little bit insane about the likes of Faro and the Ceo lol, so I'd say they did their job. I actually enjoy them being in the narrative.

As for the Zeniths... I used to just hate them straight up, not just for what we're meant to hate them, but for what they did to the narrative. I then started my quick descent into madness until I came to love to hate them lol. But I still think they deserve this spot more than anyone else given that they still make me see red half of the time.

13. something i've learned from the fandom: uhhhhh I'm not sure? Interesting to see the differences between the Persona fandom and the Horizon fandom I guess. In a lot of ways they have the same issues all fandoms have but idk, it's different. I'll leave it at that.

14. three tags i seek out on ao3: I don't really read as much fic as I would like to because of readers' block... But when I do, I feel like I tend to look for Beta-centric stuff. And Nemesis stuff hehe but there's very little of that. I feel like, at least in this fandom, I tend to gravitate more towards genfic instead of ship-heavy stuff. Those aren't three tags but still three things so fair enough.

15. a song i strongly associate with my otp/favourite character: I have a few playlists but I'm not sure any songs in particular jump out to me as much as Sad Machine by Porter Robinson, which has been my quintessential Horizon song from the moment I finished HZD. It still gives me the same chills that going through ELEUTHIA-9 gave me... God, I really wish I could go back to when I was first playing it and experience that feeling again. I might actually cry listening to it now.

Tagging: @banukaihelpme, @cicadaknight, @thatpunnyperson, @snorkeldays and @hartlesshart, but absolutely no pressure to do it! I guess this is more of a [insert your fandom here] thing, so, for any other mutuals who see this, if you wanna do it for your fandom, please tag me as your tagger, I would love to see it 🙏

[apoptoses]

how did you stop comparing your writing to other people's? if you can please share some of what helped for you ❤️

So. First things first. Step away from the fic.

Seriously. We have to develop the skill of being objective about writing before we can stop comparing.

Fic typically has a certain kind of writing style so you've gotta diversify your portfolio of inspo. Take a week long AO3 cleanse. Pick up a few books at the library, watch that movie you've been meaning to watch. Read some books about writing technique and only once you mentally feel refreshed can you come back with a clear mind.

And if you stop reading about your blorbo and start reading about some character in book you don't care a ton about you can disconnect. We project onto our faves, it's just a fact. So when you're reading a shitload of fic about your fave you're thinking 'yes, this is how i see them, no this isn't how i see them' and then you get into the spiral of 'but this is how i wish i could write about them' and you're on a one way train to Sadness.

But! Picking up, say, Call Me By Your Name- Elio and Oliver are fun, but they're not My Guys. So I can look at their experiences in the book more objectively and then actually look at the writing style itself. It's like taking two steps back from a painting and suddenly seeing the whole image at once. If you're too close (physically and emotionally) you're cut off from the big picture.

Then when you pick up a writing technique book, you can start seeing the stylistic choices used in Thing You Just Read But Are Not Too Close To. Get back into your literary analysis mindset. Get objective.

Now that you've done your cleanse, come back to a favorite fic. Print it out or download it to your phone. Treat it like an academic exercise. Highlight what you like about it. Figure out what skills that writer had to work on- was it description of places? Was it word choice?

Put those skills into a list of things YOU, the writer, want to work on. And then research how to get better at them! Remind yourself that you're learning and then you'll find yourself comparing in a objective way and not a self-esteem based way.

Now on the psychological side-

Comparing yourself comes from being insecure in some way (I know this, I have been there, I have suffered a lot from it). You gotta work on your self talk.

I've said this before, but work on changing the way you think about your work.

this work sucks -> this story needs edited

X writes blorbo better than me -> I need to reread the source material and write some meta about this aspect of blorbo

X's fic is so much better than mine, I'll never be that good -> X has spent a LOT of time working on their fic and if I work hard my fic will be good too

It sounds silly but god, it works! If I catch myself saying a negative thing then I stop myself, figure out how to reword it, and say that thought to myself in the new, not harsh way. Your brain works like a muscle, you've gotta train it until it remembers these things and you catch yourself before you spiral.

Also, if the person you're comparing yourself to is your friend- ask them about how they do the thing in their fic you like so much!

Remember that they're human too and are likely hitting the stages of grief as they write, and they're here to support you. My most feared writers are now my friends and I go to them for support when I'm in the weeds of self esteem.

Finally, if comparison is stopping you from sitting down and writing at all, you gotta just push through that pain. Write something. No pressure, it can suck, just put a 100 words down. And then the next day do something different. And the next. Just a 100 words! Until something sticks and you feel like you can keep going with it. And then apply previous steps so you don't give up before you're done.

And then? Post it. Fuck it. Your brain might be telling you it's not as good as X's fic but someone is gonna come into your comments and gush about loving it. If you can't post it because you're proud, then post it for the validation. Just share the thing so it becomes habit.

Lastly.

It's fic. We're not competing. We're not getting paid. We're doing this for love of our characters and if you're comparing and struggling with negative self talk then you're not having fun. Figure out what it'll take for you to find the joy in fandom and then try again.

I hope some of this helps! It's so hard but being objective about it is the most important thing you can learn to do ♥ And I promise, your work is better than you tell yourself it is.

WTF Are We Doing Here? (Pinned Intro Post!)

This is my website!

My comments are broken! You know what works slightly better than WordPress comments? Tumblr! My few readers are already here and I'm lookin' for more! So, screw it, time for a side blog!

HEY, TUMBLR! FREE BLORBOS RIGHT HERE! AND NARY A ONCELER AMONG THEM!

"Are they traumatized?" I hear you say. YES! God, yes.

"Are they neurodivergent?" I hear you say. YES! AND SO AM I!

"Do they fuck?" I hear you say. YES! But not here, because the algorithm will eat me if they do. I want to be seen! There will be language and probably violence and queerness and political opinions, but don't get me in fucking trouble, Tumblr. I'm gonna get enough flack for the queerness. I'm very fragile. Be nice.

So! Let me babble for multiple paragraphs trying to explain myself to strangers on the internet, like usual!

This is Milo. If this blog functions the way I want it to, I'll make you some nice reaction images eventually, but Milo in shadow-puppet form will suffice for an example.

Milo says: I don't want to be an example!

Too bad! If you want to talk to Milo, use the ask button and address him by name. He lives in my brain, they all do. I'll get him for you. I'll make him talk.

Milo says: WHAT? *faints*

Well, Milo prefers to communicate in text and images for the time being, so we'll omit the quote marks for him, unless something changes.

Milo says: What? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CHANGE?

Who knows? It's a very long serialized story and there's lots of character development. That's the fun part! Fixate on, I mean, be very normal about a character and get more and more and more content about them, watch them grow and change and develop relationships, scream at me and at them when you feel like it, and just keep doing that until I get bored or die. What's not to like?

For the moment, I'm the only one working on this story, and I can't afford to hire help, so we're not talking about flawless quality here, but it's free! (Or pay what you want.) So, please,

🌈Lower Your Expectations!🌟

Yay! There are a lot of site issues and there's only so much I'm able to do to fix it. Typos that look like words are my moral enema. If something is so broken you can't read it or understand it, or if I've really hurt you, please drop me a line (via the message box, if it's not for publication) and I'll do what I can. Otherwise, if you like this content and want more, be kind.

I'm autistic and high-masking so you will be speaking to the public-relations version of me. It's as buggy as my site! I'm just gonna be relentlessly positive about everything! Unless I can't. That's not necessarily your fault, but sometimes I can't. So if you're a little ND too, and a lack of response makes you crater - If I don't answer it's probably not because of anything you did. I got a lot on my plate and social ability is always the first thing to go.

Milo says: Preach, Sibling.

The versions of Milo and the others you'll meet will not be the canon versions, nor will their interactions here affect the story. So go nuts!

Milo says: What? No! Be nice to me too!

And, naturally, these versions exist in a context-free void where they can chat happily with strangers from another universe, even if the real ones would freak out and scream

Milo says: You can't mess around with my brain so I can't feel fear! Oh, my gods! I NEED my brain!

No, no. I'm only making sure you don't have an existential crisis due to the context-free void.

Milo says: Oh. Yeah. That's not a big deal. The context-free void has hot chocolate and snacks.

Right, so we're not hurting them. It's fine! It'll be perfectly safe!

Milo says: Yay❤️!

I'll do another post and give you the lowdown on myself and the main cast, including aliases and pronouns. Or, if you've tripped over this out there in your feed, you could always just go read the darn story. It'll take a while. There's a lot of it already. But we'll be here waiting for you! (Don't comment at the site. Are you reading me? You're on Tumblr, you are here to read. Maintain your reading comprehension at all times! The comments are fucking broken.)

[wakanai]

Ok ok, i want to do a little interview with you as well

How long have you been in the bsd fandom?

Who is your favorite character in bsd?

What other anime do you like/is your favourite?

Quick! Your favourite character ever(name them) is held at gunpoint and you need to sing a song you love word for word or they die. Which song do you choose?

Whats something you would never want to change about yourself, no matter how much time passes?

Answer however you like or dont answer at all, no pressure <3

OH MY - HIT ME IN THE HEAD W THE PERSONAL QUESTIONS SKDKS

alr 😭✌️

I've been in the bsd fandom since...2018/2019 I think. I started with the anime. I remember being so early that at that time, almost all the bsd reviews were negative. I went to reddit, I think I went to my-anime-list too, and other websites and it was full of negative reviews. So I went into bsd with a rather "eh" mindset 😅 but I was bored that time and had nothing else to watch and I saw it on Netflix so yeah 👍

Hihi 🤭🤭🤭🤭 if you stalk me long enough, you may find that my bsd blorbo 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 is non other than Oda Sakunosuke. I love that man to pieces fr 💖 I love the fictional version I made of him in my head even more 🤭

Other anime that I like is Hunter x Hunter. Childhood anime was Sailormoon 💖 and Princess Sara. I was also once obsessed with Cedie the little prince (its an old anime). Besides those, I don't remember much anime that I was rlly invested on. Though I did watch JJK the movie and season 1 ❤️

A song I love? Here's the thing - - I don't really have a favourite song. I have different 'top songs' depending on the genre. 😭 But one song that comes to mind rn is 'I am not a robot' by Marina and the Diamonds

Oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. You saved the best for last I see 👀👀👀👀 uhmmmmm 😭😭😭😭😭 one thing I have that I would never want to change about myself? hmmmmm...errr....wait..

my faith in God ig? (I'm christian and God's played a big role in my life so idw lost that ❤️) Besides that, I would say my 'desire' to keep on improving myself. (like even when I fall to new lows or am actively enjoying self destructive behavior, there's always that little desire that makes me want to stop and get better. I think everyone has this in a way but yeah, Idw lose this thing and submit completely to misery 😄✌️. Like I could *fail* hard on one day and feel awful abt it but after a while, I'll feel like trying again). <<<< this is me regarding my (sort of) unhealthy eating habits lmao 😭

Thank you for the ask!!

since I love oversharing, I will also share random things abt myself

I wish I didn't overthink that much

I wish I was more confident 🤭

^^ Ik I'll be better at these things in the future tho so might look back on this and feel nostalgic 🤭💕❤️

Oh one more random fact:

I'm kinda dense and I didn't even notice someone hated me last yr lol 🤭 oh well. not my problem honestly 💅✨

thanks for the ask again wonxxx ✌️😺

(your bio is so real. I also post stuff with the intention of looking back on it someday) 💐

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[blackkatmagic]

I think I've read about 8 of your longer fics (20k+) in the past 4 days after having some of both your star wars and naruto fics in my marked for later for probably about 3ish years now and I'm kicking myself wishing I had done it sooner because your writing style has an ironclad grip on my soul... plots like a direct iv line of crack into my veins... Normally I'd comment my thoughts on your fics directly, but I just have so many things going through my mind completely unrelated to your fics that it felt weird to try and fit them into a comment.

The clone wars has had a chokehold on me practically since the first episode was released, mostly because, despite the victories they achieve throughout the series, we know the inevitable conclusion, we know what's gonna happen, and watching it is like a slow motion train crash I can't look away from. I am TRANSFIXED by it, by the heartbreak it puts me through to think about fate and no matter how much the characters struggle, their stories are tragedies through and through. God it hurts so much (which is probably why I obsessively read fix-it fics lmao). You're honestly the kind of author I aspire to be with so many intricate plots and ideas, frequent updates and oneshots, incredible use of language to the point I am either on the edge of my seat in anticipation or bouncing off the walls in despair or glee depending on the situation. You're so talented, it just makes me happy to be able to read something you've written. (Also you're the reason I actually know who Jon Antilles is and I am very grateful for the exposure to a new blorbo lmao)

I mostly just want to ask if there's a fic (or fics) you've written that you wish had gotten more attention, you're especially proud of, or just holds a special place in your heart because I want to read those (or reread them with care if I've already consumed them in my weekend binge). I think you're just neat-o, a swell little lad (gender neutral), and a complete badass all in one and it makes me want to appreciate your favorite parts of your past works❤️

This whole message makes me just. incoherent. Thank you so much??? Words cannot express my delight in your enjoyment, and I fully agree about the tragedy of TCW. It captures my personal imagination in a way a lot of media doesn't, and the tragedy and potential to avert that tragedy makes me a little manic sometimes.

As far as fics....most of my fics get a fair amount of attention, but currently the one that's eating my brain is what if a dawn of a doom of a dream, because I love character growth and that fic is going to be concentrated character growth. The other one that I particularly love because prose is like a wolf at a live heart, which is honestly one of my favorite things I've ever written.

[whentommymetalfie]

Okay Im going on a rant and I cant stop myself, because I gotta tell you - your beautiful writing and also your incredible artwork are so absolutely mind blowing, they've completely stolen my heart! I love how your work keeps the ship alive, and also how it brings us Tommy x Alfie fans together ❤️

I was just wondering, what was the moment watching Peaky that made you decide to start writing about our two favourite lovable disasters?

I got the notification on this message at work today and let me tell you it made my day about 120% better ❤️ Firstly let me tell you that your content is truly ✨perfection✨ and thank you for your contribution to this ship! And thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I don't even know what to say. But please know that messages like this reminds me why I'm still here on this hell site (affectionate)

Oh and this moment... ah I remember it as if it were yesterday (and not like... five years ago. Oh god.) Sit down and I shall tell you the tale, in the wordiest, least coherent way.

Well, I saw that first scene with Tommy and Alfie in the bakery and the rest is history. What can I even say? The chemistry. The banter. The looks. The death threats. The Tension(TM)... I can't even be eloquent about it. I just knew. Those are my blorbos. My true loves. My boys. Idiots in love. Icons. (and later also: Margate husbands. Retired gangsters shooting seagulls and bickering on the beach. Giving each other comfort in this cold and cruel world) They were meant to be. And I went, of course, as one does when obsessed, to ao3. I was at least a year or two (maybe even three) late to peaky blinders, but only found roughly 50 fics. They were all wonderfully fics, but 50 fics is not enough fics to sustain someone. And Tumblr was mostly empty, except reader fics. So, I decided to make the content I wanted to see in the world and well things sort of snowballed from there. Now here I am, years later, and still just as in love with this ship. Truly, they are, my OTP. And I'm so happy to be able to read so many skillfully written fics, and see the beautiful art, and other content created about them.

This turned into a very wordy and nostalgic ramble, but I get very emotional thinking about them so you'll have to excuse me

And thank you again ❤️

thank you sm for asking for my bestest boy shigaraki 🛐🛐

003 | Give me a character and i will tell you

• How i feel about this character:

he is my bby he is my blorbo he is my little meow meow i want to bite his cheek i want to kiss it i want to hold him gently and never let go i want to braid his hair i want to cling to him like a koala bear he is my boyfriend he is the loml he is my heart (excuse my simping lily i don’t have the means to hold back 🥲 my love is too huge pls don’t regret asking me for shiggy 😭😭)

• All the characters i ship romantically with this character:

me myself and I. shigaraki x maze. my otp for him <33. okay okay okay but in universe i guess i don’t really ship him with anyone seriously? i think shiggy x natsuo is hella funny (istg it’s the superior shiggy ship because the fanfic potential 🤌🏻 (someone ask me to explain myself please please please they’re so much fun)), also shiggy x eraserhead for the crack. otherwise i can’t really see him with anyone romantically because like?? i am right here i am perfect for him <333

• My non-romantic OTP for this character:

oooohhh alright i’ll have to go with him x spinner because they are video game besties 🥺🥺🥺 they can talk about video games all day and play together and they can just forget about everything and enjoy their time together <33 but also shiggy x the whole league <33 because in my heart they are a family <33

• My unpopular opinion about this character:

for some reason this is quite unpopular in the grand scheme of things but shigaraki is the hottest mf alive. he is vv pretty and sooo?!?!? hot and sexy and (excuse my simpery i am trying to remain normal here alright) i love him sm?? i can’t emphasise enough how gORGEOUS i think he is

look at him!!! he is perfect <3

• One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon:

for his own well being i wished he would have distanced himself from afo at some point. like that the league and him realised their goal strays from the ugly potato’s goal and just kicked him to the curb. and became a found family more. and maybe killed afo a little. i also wish he can be saved because i think he should be saved and idk how exactly that would happen and idc how unrealistic it is but i want shiggy to be happy <333 also if he ends up being saved i want him to be the biggest deku stan (after kacchan of course) snsjjssn i just think that would be cute if he says deku is his favourite hero 🥺🥺🥺 and i want him to have a dog again after all this is over

• My het ship:

shigaraki and what woman lmaoo my best boy doesn’t interact with women. the only one he is close to is toga and that’s a no-go! so no het ships for him <333

• My fem/slash ship:

i’ll go with shiggy x natsuo actually like i said they’re super funny and i am all in for the touya/todoroki drama that would ensue in that relationship. and i think that ship is a vvv rare ship and i want more people to know about them (istg if you have all the facts you realise how great they are!!)

• My OTP:

shigaraki x happiness <3333 (but also me and shiggy of course cough cough cough i would make him happy <33 i wouldn’t have let him tumble to the ground i would have caught him 🙄🙄)

• My OT3

shigaraki x hugs x a very nice and warm meal <333 i just want him to be happy fr that’s all i want for him. to be safe and happy (and in my arms,,, i AM SORRY OKAY I JUST LOVE HIM SM 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️)

• My crossover ship:

ehh idkidk

• My kink:

???? i am confused. like my kink fOR him (is that even english shsjsj)?? my kink in regards to him??? what i think his kink would be?? just a random kink of mine?? i am sorry op of this ask game but this is not clear. anyway no context whatsoever and not specifying which one i am going for: hands. i sAID WHAT I SAID NOW LEAVE ME SIT IN SHAME 😭😭😭

• A headcanon:

okay now this will be long so buckle in. i think toga tried to braid his hair aT LEAST ONCE or put it in pigtails or some shit and he pretended he hated it but it actually made him think of his sister and he doesn’t let toga touch his hair again because it makes him sad. he is iNCREDIBLY touch-starved. this isn’t even a hc at this point there is no way this couldn’t be canon. i think he craves hugs but let’s be real, with his quirk and being partly raised by that potato looking bitch who probably laughed at his face when bby shigaraki even expressed some need for hugs he probably doesn’t think he is allowed to hug people. his favourite game is animal crossing. he keeps it a secret because it’s so wholesome and the gameplay is so uncomplicated but he enjoys building a village and making it look all ugly (let’s be real he has no sense for aesthetics and his island would be all over the place but he’d be so proud). he consumes monsters only and it’s not even one of the special flavours, it’s just the original one. he probably sends hate anons on tumblr 😐😐 embarrassing shiggy get a grip. he is in a forum for all might and other hero slander. he sleeps in fetal position with his fists pinned to his chest. he loves dogs and is one of the people who can’t walk past one without pointing out there is a dog (he also smiles and waves at them :))) the lov names IS isnpired by lol. he doesn’t shower regularly he just gives me big big having a depression hoodie vibes. he is a troll online. he has the worst spelling while texting. he puts the league of villains contact names like “do not text back” “this one’s kinda gross” “likes games” “blonde???” “wizard ordered from wish” etc. he hates emojis. ate dirt as a child and calls it a core memory. needs to be reminded to drink water. i do have more but this is getting kinda long i am so sorry shsjsjss

• My gender bend:

she’d be so hot. women who can disintegrate me with a touch brain go brrrr. 🛐🛐🛐🛐

Getting tested for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in a few hours and I'm fucking ✨scared✨

Please just let the test be positive, I don't know what the hell to do if it isn't- this is basically the only idea we have of what it could be I'm so tired of running around trying to figure out what's going on. I don't just want to be medical mystery I want to figure this fucking thing out and be done with it please

FORGOT TO POST THIS WHOOOOPS

Edit: my bad forgot to clarify but I'm being pretentious and calling this "The Dance Of Before And After", current me dancing with little pre-transition 5-year-ish me

Self forgiveness and acceptance and all that ❤️

nothing but thieves pics are really fun because you got four tall, hypermasc, vaguely dickish looking guys in the back and then you have this tiny nervous little fella with shaggy hair who usually seems to be wearing a sweater thats like 3 sizes too large for him

Happy Blorbo Blursday!! ❤️❤️

I’ll restrain myself from asking you to talk about every single character in HOM because I love them that much and go with one I don’t know a lot about yet. (leaving the ones about Krieve’s courting later hehe)

What is up with this immortal Queen? What kind of personality she is, what kind of relationship she has with the others? What the other characters think about her and what she thinks about Jaisse? Also, if it’s not too spoilery, what was her motivation to make herself immortal through the Hour?

Please gush as much as you want!! ❤️

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Timiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Blorbo Blursday!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the ask!!! I always get so giddy about your excitement!!!! I'm touched!!!!! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️The queen is definitely a fascinating character to talk about!!! Not all good, not bad, just very complicated!

Okay, so the queen!!!! Before the Hour, 100 years ago, Camile (name still pending, not sure if it totally fits the character even if I like the name itself) was a solider in the Correlaine army (back when they had a tranditional army before they had to put all their marital prowess into...you know...fighting monsters once the Hour happened). She was very dutiful, very caring, and lived to protect the ones she loved.

Then the Hour happened, in all its abruptness. Amid the chaos, when she was able to quickly piece together that OH! MAGIC?? REAL MAGIC??? IS A THING NOW???? She realized that the number one way she would want to suddenly use these divine(????) powers is to make it so that she could be strong enough to protect others, to be able to not fear putting her life on the line in defense of the weak! Most people who were able to grasp magic during the Hour weren't able to use it in the exact, specific way to make yourself permanently immortal, so that drive to protect others indefinitely is what really made it "work". (The magic during the Hour was more or less limitless, but very finicky in how it manifested if you tried to will into reality something especially big or powerful!)

During the events of the novel, 100 years later, she's been elected queen for about uhhhhh 50 years now? She's incredibly popular with her people (hence why she keeps getting elected), and still cares very much for her land. She has the commitment, care, and experience to be a great leader, supported of course by her elected advisors.

Because of her long-livedness, however, she is beginning to somewhat lose touch with individuals, looking mostly towards the long term rather than the short term (and for her, the "short term" could count for like....an entire normal lifetime). She's definitely not dismissive nor does she deliberately dehumanize others; it's simply a side effect of one being alive for that long and seeing time stretched out before you. She's met (and lost) so many people. After the Hour and with advances in magic every day, she's seen civilization change (and continue to change) at a rapid pace, so it's hard for her to stay "in the moment" at all times. Her family certainly loves her, and she loves them and does her best to keep track of them as individuals, but there is always that weird tension as she's been, and will be, around for her children's entire life, but they are only in a fraction of her own.

hi 👉👈 i just wanted to tell you that your OCs rekindled my love of character design. we're the same age and i pretty much stopped completely when i was 18 and i struggle with a lot of bitterness towards myself when i see people who didn't quit and are really good. for some reason tho when i see your blorbos it makes me want to pick it up again instead of making me upset with myself for quitting. sorry this wasn't supposed to get so long i just like looking at the funky folk you make!!!

AUUUUUUU MY GOWD 😭❤️💖💞 LITERALLY THIS ASK IS SO SWEET. im so glad my ocs make you feel inspired!!! do be easy on yourself, I also struggled with an INCREDIBLY long art block where I just. didn’t draw at all from ages 19-21. and it was because I was going through huge changes in my life! it’s just apart of growing into an adult and it may become harder to maintain a solid balance with life, work, and art. but just remember why you started drawing to begin with and pursue that joy :-) that’s what personally helped me!!! literally ily and I SUPPORT YOU SM

re this:

DON'T BE SORRY LA VAGUELETTE SLAPS!!! genshin rlly makes some good shit!!! i was doing dishes jamming to the chasm's inevitable conflict ost so that genshin's ost can mayhaps make me think this small task is for a grand adventure i need to prepare myself for <33

AND ITS OK PLS DONT APOLOGIZE ❤️

Hiya ~ as a dedicated anon stalker, I would like to ask you questions :)

❤️ What is your creative process generally, when it comes to writing?

🧡 What are your most common sources of inspiration?

💛 When does inspiration usually strike you?

with tears in my eyes: mom look I'm cool enough to have people ask me questions about my writing (ily <3)

I would love to answer your questions but they're making me THINK because I haven't really considered these things before apeofje??

❤️ - okay so I had to search up what exactly a creative process is. if that tells you anything about my creative process. BUT from what I can gather, it's essentially the steps you take when writing - which is an interesting question! Normally, it's 'I get inspiration, I write out the idea, I post the fic' is my go to method pdafjer. When I'm writing longer fics I write a basic outline, but for shorter fics I just go right in (maybe leaving myself notes so I know what Past Me was thinking when I come back to it later). But when I'm writing for a zine or something like that, my process is similar to how I code, funny enough - write a simple script outlining how the story will go, write it out, run it through a beta editor, then post! It's a very much no thoughts head empty method but it works, so! Also, a lot of my fics tend to be very introspective - in either a fluffy way or an angsty way - so a lot of the planning goes more into 'what sort of metaphor can I put here' instead of like. actual plot

🧡 - I think there's like, two lines of inspiration - stuff I want to write, and how I write it. For the first one - gay people, mostly! My little blorbos are my absolute number 1 inspiration - from mangas, animes, shows, books, whatever. As for how I write, it's a combination of all the fic writers I admire (which is a LOT my god people are so cool) and I love poetry a lot, I think it's incredible, so I think some of that often ends up spilling over into how I write. In terms of the actual fic itself, honestly, just like. my brain - as in, pretty much anything I would like to read? My fics are pretty much written for a target audience of myself. I rotate blorbos in my brain and go 'I want to put them in This Situation' and then I do! Another recent source of inspiration has been the (absolutely lovely) commenters under my fics because some of them have ideas that make me want to chew glass (affectionate)

💛 - inspiration tends to strike me pretty much any time of the day aspfje I am but a vessel for the Thoughts In My Head! but I guess while I'm writing?? once my creative gets in gear that's the time I find I'm best at coming up with ideas. While I'm writing a fic, I'll get ideas for like 4 more fics it's kind of hilarious. Also, listening to music! I play music a lot so I get a fair amount of creative inspiration from that. Other than that, prompt lists? (Typically though, it's less inspiration and more 'okay I want to write my newest blorbos. what situation can i put them in' and it usually just ends up as them kissing (or them crying. 50/50 chance))

...um. That got long!

My answers might not be exactly what you were looking for so feel free to ask more questions or clarification! I be having thoughts all day for free so I love and appreciate it when others want to hear them <33333
