SELF DESTRUCTION!

[harleycommissions]

so let’s talk.

my payhip got deleted. now my kofi’s gone too.

i’m a gif maker. over the years, across multiple blogs, i’ve made around 125,000 gifs. only about 20,000 of those were paid content — that’s just 18%. meaning, the overwhelming majority of my content wasn’t paywalled. i keep all of these stats tracked in notion — if anyone wants to see them, feel free to message me off anon. i will not entertain anonymous hate.

people love to scream about how “gif makers are greedy” or “paid resources are classist,” but they ignore the actual numbers. ignore the fact that we’ve been doing the most, for the least.

i put in real hours. like when i giffed harris dickinson in baby girl — i finished that pack in under 24 hours. start to finish. no breaks, no sleep. non-stop giffing. and then i got called greedy for charging for it?

what’s greedy is expecting that kind of labor for free.

i always tried to keep things accessible and fair. i ran sales, stacked discounts, and constantly adjusted to people’s budgets when they asked. and let’s be clear — my payhip was deleted in the middle of a huge promo. not just any sale, but one i put together to help cover unexpected medical expenses for a family member. everything discounted. everything stackable. everything priced to make things easier for anyone who was interested. and still — gone. no warning. no explanation. just deleted.

i also went out of my way to give back. i’d add extra gifs to commissions, sometimes gift entire packs for free. i even offered deals: if someone let me resell a commissioned pack, they got 75 bonus gifs — and if they let me resell it at a discount, they got 150. i was always trying to meet people where they were.

i know i’m not the most liked gif maker in the rpc. i’m aware. but there are people who enjoy my work, who use my free packs, who buy my paid packs, who look forward to what i post — and that’s who i do it for.

i’m tired. and yeah, i am fucking angry at the community too. because let’s be honest — half of you don’t deserve to have access to gifs at all. you take and take and take, without even a like or a reblog. you whine when things aren’t handed to you, complain when something costs even a little, and throw tantrums when you have to click more than once to find a link. you treat gif makers like vending machines and then act shocked when we burn out, disappear, or — god forbid — charge for our time. so yeah, i’m angry. because we built this space, we fill the tags, and we keep things moving — and in return, we get disrespected, harassed, and erased. so whatever. i’ve said what i needed to say.

if you’re someone who’s still interested in my work — whether it’s existing packs or commissions — you can message me in ims. i’m going to rebuild a new payhip eventually, and probably a new kofi too, so just keep an eye out if that’s something you care about. for now, i’ll be focusing on commissions.

flower meanings part 2 🌸🌼

this got away from me lmao i didn't realize how many cards have flowers. there's probably going to be a part three smh

spoilers through ep 15 because i can't keep my mouth shut

as stated in the other post these are all guesses and i'm trying my best to reference multiple sources blah blah blah

i have a new crack theory because of these

oh rui, my beloved rui. lots of yellow, which is almost always associated with positivity in these flower meanings. he tries so hard :')

i'm seeing yellow and peach roses, yellow orange and white daisies, a few sprigs of baby's breath, and either kerria or yellow carnation in his pocket. behind him on the wall we've got a single white rose on some...halesia? the shape is a little wack but. who knows

yellow and peach roses have both been discussed previously, but yellow roses are typically friendship and loyalty and peach are for sincerity and admiration. daisies have also been discussed (white ones are for innocence, purity, and "your secret is safe with me.) baby's breath is the same minus the secrets.

white rose - like many other white flowers, it represents innocence and purity. oh rui. they can also be associated with loyalty and remembrance.

yellow daisy - typical yellow with joy and cheerfulness, also can signify loyalty, friendship, and sometimes new beginnings. one site called them the perfect get well soon flower lmaoooo

orange daisy - tumblr deleted half of my draft again this is my villain origin story. anyways the meaning for this one is a little scattered but it basically means joy, friendship, and happiness

i'm still not sure if this is a yellow carnation or kerria so we're doing both

kerria - also called the japanese rose, it usually is associated with wealth and prosperity. it does however also have medicinal properties, which is cool.

yellow carnation - i just started laughing out loud when i looked this one up. this is a flower you give someone to convey remorse, rejection, and regret 😂 poor rui dude

alright this white viney plant at the back has been bothering me the whole time. helasia's meaning is humility...which like...i guess....but also after staring at pics of it i don't think it's right. but also...it really just looks like it's white petals kind of hovering on a vine. not beating the ai art allegations with this one :/

i settled on moonflower - usually symbolic of love, magic, and mystery, and guess what this one witchy site said!! "...symbolic of all the cycles in life and love, living and dying each night."

back at it again with the cycles!!!!! dabs

you thought i was done? jokes on you IM NEVER DONE TALKING ABOUT RUI!!!

anyways i talked about purple roses in the last but they represent mystery and enchantment and love at first sight. similar to how i fell for rui

how tf is he holding that bouquet

the actual next one is haku and writing this one was interesting. in the bouquet itself we've got white and blue roses, lisianthus, a lil bit of baby's breath, blue periwinkle?, and in his pocket are yellow daisies and star of bethlehem. i'm not even going to attempt to ID those pink things in the background.

baby's breath, white and blue roses, and yellow daisies all mentioned above.

lisianthus - a great cheap alternative to roses! in victorian flower language they were said to represent a flashy or showy person lmao. other meanings include charisma, admiration, and for declarations of romantic feelings.

blue periwinkle - beginning friendships, everlasting love. in ukraine, you give them to newly weds to help their marriage last longer. in some parts of the world, it's also called graveyard vine.

star of bethlehem - once again, pretty similar to other white flowers with the purity and innocence. these ones, however, also carry the meanings of honesty and forgiveness.

why are you asking for forgiveness, haku?

oh jin here we go again. my beautiful princess with a disorder. if that's foxglove i'll scream

in the bouquet we have purple (and maybe white?) roses, potentially baby's breath but that looks a lil yellow, and either white or light purple lillies. maybe pink roses? lighting makes it hard smh. in his pocket he has white roses and serbian bellflower. and then hanging is purple foxglove 🙃

purple and white roses and baby's breath addressed previously (purity innocence remembrance enchantment love at first sight) i'm still not sold on that being baby's breath though. that lowkey looks like the false solomon's seal that was in zenji's pocket.

lighting artistic interpretation blah blah blah

just in case those are pink roses, those have also been addressed but they're basically like the less intense version of a red rose. "i love you but i'm chill about it."

white lillies are typically a funeral and wedding flower, they symbolize new beginnings, rebirth, and like all other white flowers, purity and innocence. new beginnings, love that for him. just in case it's purple, purple lillies symbolize romantic and mysterious love and also royalty

serbian bellflower - on one side of things it represents humility, loyalty, and everlasting love. the other half of meanings have it as endurance and stability. this is a cute one for jin

purple foxglove - this one is crazy. foxglove is heavily associated with magic, healing and death, and especially purple is associated with mysticism. in victorian flower language, however, purple foxglove represents insincerity and immorality. yikes. what a beautiful wedding

bonus jin post! purple irises on the bathroom counter.

purple is typically a color associated with royalty, and these flowers also symbolize strength, wisdom, and positive change. irises also symbolize AND I DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO SEE ME CAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'D UNDERSTAND--

and holy shit i think that's it. there's a couple that have small bouquets (jin with some blue roses and jiro with a red peach and pink rose) and then rui with a tree, but idk if those really count. they dont seem super significant idk

i might do a post about the tarot cards next, this was super fun lol

damn i am gonna have to make an archive link so i can navigate my own posts huh

as always, if i missed anything pleaseeee let me know, asks and dms are always open!

[the-s1lly-corner]

48 hour requests

That's right! It's that time again! As always there is the info! TLDR on the rules under the cut, I do recommend skimming through the Fandom list real quick though as the tags likely don't cover all

Rules and fandoms

NOTE that this blog runs off a queue system, so be patient! The queue is set to post two x reader posts a day by default, should the queue exceed 40 requests it will be bumped to three posts daily

WHAT I WILL WRITE

romantic, platonic, familial... angst, and fluff! anything that isnt NSFW is fine (Ive got a blog for that... requests are... partially opened... kinda... you're free to ask for it so long as you have an age indicator somewhere on your blog. otherwise if you stumble upon it and interact w/o an indicator you will be blocked on sight no exceptions.).. poly is allowed!

readers with traits (can be anything really! hobbies, looks, and so on!), readers are GN by default but you can request a specific gender I just cant say how relevant haha/lh

maximum of 3-4 characters per request, no specified characters will be thrown to a wheel to choose characters. prompt/alphabet requests are limited to 3 prompts 1 character per ask for masterlist purposes

AUs are allowed to a degree- if its a specific AU by someone else it might be rejected due to me not knowing the source/AU

Suggestive requests are allowed BUT there is an unclear line. I will communicate when something teeters too close to NSFW territory

WHAT I WONT WRITE

full on NSFW or hard topics (rape, incest, ect). topics such as ED or SH or past abuse may be asked so long as its not on screen or an endorsement, but even then it may still be denied. fully hinges off of admins mental health that day and what exactly is being requested

some characters are locked for platonic requests only, any requests for romance will be deleted

no character based readers, mostly due to fandom wiki being unreliable and annoying to navigate

NO concealed kink requests. im not dumb, i know what youre trying to do. i do not kink shame but this is not the blog for your request. if you REALLY want to you can ask me about my NSFW (see above in the prev mention of the blog)

WHERE/HOW TO REQUEST

Requests are only to be sent to the inbox. I am not comfortable with requests being sent to my PMs, plus its harder to keep track of. Same goes for requests left in the comments

Asides from that so long as it abides by the above rules you're free to go whack! You may send in multiple requests just be mindful that there are other people requesting and I am only one admin

GENERAL BOUNDARIES

Just be kind man. If I do not see your request or get to it faster please just be patient. Requests will open again soon- do not spam me in my inbox or messages. And because it needs to be stated, do not follow me to my other blogs to badger me about it either

[sodachalice]

im sorry if you don't want people traumadumping in your askbox over that post and you dont have to answer if thats the case but i just thought you should know it really really resonated.

i'm 19, as a little kid i was a victim of interfamilial COCSA (of course), but my response to that as a kid was to do it to others tenfold. i only had two instances of being 'the victim' but those two experiences gave me questions and curiosities & i would continue to regularly repeat it to other kids for years because i was smart enough to hide my actions and nobody noticed. i stopped once i grew enough to realize that it was wrong (10 years old) but by that point all the damage was done and there's nothing i can do.

i feel like people say 'the cycle of abuse' all the time but they never genuinely think about what it entails. they want to comfort victims by demonizing the people that hurt them. but the internet as a general collective cannot hold two conflicting truths at the same time, you cannot support victims and also support people who create victims, you have to pick a side. like it's dicourse. but like you said it's victims all the way down. the siblings that touched me first were absolutely just recreating their own experiences, we were family, i know their home life.

so when people want to show support for victims of CSA and they want to prove theyre not predator apologists or whatever, they'll default to saying they wish they could kill all abusers and anyone whos ever crossed a boundary deserves to have their rights stripped and be tortured and all this shit. and it lets me know that if i were to be honest about my own CSA they would see it as a sort of trolley problem and decide that im not worth the risk. so ive never told anyone. there is no neutral support for victims like me, only death threats or fetishization(? is that the right word). other victims who would seek me out because i'm capable of playing predator for their own scenarios. and if anything goes wrong with our relationship then they have the '___ is an actual child abuser' card to play for their callout post.

i don't have a good way to conclude this i guess. i don't even know if my points are relevant with your motivations for writing that post. but it helped me feel like out there somewhere there's a space for people with my specific sexual trauma, that isn't crazy biased in one direction or the other. thank you for seeing the pattern and actually fucking trying to stop it. it gives me hope.

i hope you are ok with me posting this, if not, lmk if you want it deleted.

this is exactly what im talking about and something i think about frequently. while i am not personally someone who did that, i carry a lot of guilt for being overly sexual and inappropriate in a lot of situations, and i care a lot about people who did bad things as a kid who didn't know better. its one of the reasons i bring up the fact that i parented multiple kids- when you help protect kids in very very bad and abusive situations, you see them start developing extremely negative and unhealthy behaviors REALLY early. one of the biggest reasons i delved so deeply into child psychology wasn't for myself but because i needed to know the right things to say to the kids in my family because i was seen as the one to go to for help. this meant dealing with kids who HAVE done bad things, and learning why that happened. they were just kids, man, all of them were, and i had to understand the idea of what youre describing very early.

and this is the problem with the way we treat predators exactly. because it literally leaves no room for anybody, including children, to get better, to recover, to learn better, etc. because everyone is so fucking excited to like you said talk about how much they hate and how much they want to kill predators, both to have some sort of power against people they view as oppressive but also to signal that they are good and not connected to these predators. and it leaves a very weird space for people who have done bad things in the past due to their trauma. because the thing is, theyre going to exist. theyre going to keep living. you can't kill them. im very against the death penalty, i'm also anti prison. i hate both of them. the only thing forced isolation in a violent hostile area does is make things worse. ive been hospitalized enough to know that. my father is a correctional officer, my mother is a felon. it doesn't help anyone. and creating these ideas that we just push everyone to the side whos ever done anything bad is equally as bad as never reacting at all, because it's a black and white solution to a very complex and gray problem. you, people like you, people worse than you, etc, all need help. whether or not something happened doesnt change the fact that you deserve help too, and you deserve to recover and find people who will love you and support you through it all.

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

WIBTA if i cut off someone reaching out for help on tumblr? i am a very anxious person. ive been on tumblr a very long time because most all other social media terrifies me as someone who grew up with the wild west internet a decade past (im in my late 20s) so i feel sometimes with how reckless and spurractic people can be online in chatroom and especially clearly public platforms where any stranger, malicious or otherwise can just archive your digital presence for personal use.

more recently as someone who has been here during the pornban and as an asexual really enjoyed the quiet with no drama farming and a slow pace to talk about more unique political topics in a measured way it is something im strangely nostalgic for and a great example of my sensibilities to people when they insist that i use other platforms like discord or twitter or whatever clone for these services comes out of the old guard introducing feature creep to copy everyone else or any other indi "were the anti corporate version" of the endless scroll apps. i just dont want it. tumblr is special because im desktop only, been here for years, and i have kept track of every single change made so i have manually adjusted the change through hacks to evade every bad decision on here and make my set up look identical to how it was in 2010. so let it be understood that i tend to be a loney person because of this stubbornness. web 3.0 is too dangerous to people with addictive tendencies that my adhd brings out and my need to wear my heart on my sleeve. so i hope i defended my personality type enough to show why someone like me would see a post about some horrible abuses they have fell victim to who also share alot of the marginalized status as me and writing depressive things in the replys of others posts as to attention seek about it.

i directly interact with this person, not only to check if they are real (but wow, modern chat bots make this part horrifying for me. we really cant ever know for sure what is real anymore. trying to find warmth on the internet feels impossible now a days) i have multiple conversations at this point both venting and just casually shooting the shit. but the begging for me to constantly repost their paypal makes me so nervous in a way that i feel so guilty for because it reminds me of all the scams that get associated with this kind of ebegging and the reminder that capitalism takes away all warmth from human interaction to make them purely transnational and conditional. but then it just has been escalating where im so scared that now its not enough that im reposing on my 8 follower, all mutual blog, they are asking me to share it on other socials. accounts i do not have i have a flip phone and a laptop and i am tinkering with a windows 7 tower that will never be connected to the internet so i can always have software sit perfectly in its time capsule for when i need it. i do not have a way to help this person outside of what i learned from collage psyche classes. a part of me is so scared to just abruptly cut them off and just delete my entire account like i tend to do often on tumblr for a multitude of reasons, its a part of what lets people survive being here this long but i worry that would crush them if i did that, i dont want to make them feel more hopeless and unwanted then they already talk about. but i am text on the internet through a screen. i can only do so much. so would i be the asshole if i just deleted my account with a "i hope you hang in there, the world is a harsh place but keep moving" to cut someone so similar to me who is struggling out of my life?

What are these acronyms?

Born wicked(my thoughts/ analysis on wicked)

Hello everyone! So a couple of days back I asked if yall would like my thoughts on Wicked and alot of you said yess sooo here we are. Now before we start i do wanna say i will also be doing an analysis in this post. Because as someone who has spent years in the hannibal fandom i have had multiple conversations with people about the analysis of the show so of course i have to bring that into this post so let’s begin and hopefully you guys enjoy!.

I first remember watching the movie, it had such a great first impression on me, i’ve seen alot of musical movies and this one was of my favorite movie musicals i’ve seen.

It has so much depth and deep meaning to it and after learning more about it im genuinely so impressed by how they did this movie, there are four scenes in the movie that kind show how much detail they put into this movie.

1. Is elphie and Glinda first meeting and glinda saying she doesn’t care what people think and elphie calling her out saying yes you do.

2. Which goes into scene two where we get the OZdust scene where when everyone is watching Elphie dance we see feiryo say “she doesn’t care what people think “ and glinda says “yes she does “

This is one of my all time favorite parallels because of multiple reasons, in several instances throughout the movie we see how much Glinda does definitely care what people think specially while at shiz everyone loves her, she has two people who follow her everywhere and specially because in the scene where Glinda is getting ready for the OZdust scene and the Hat is brought out and one of her friends point out how it’s “ugly “ she is suddenly trying to find an excuse as to why she has it.

Elphie reasons is so completely different, she always been over looked specially by her family, and the only way she really got attention was when she was supposed to look over NessaRoes. Then she gets to Shiz and suddenly all eyes are on her, but for the wrong reasons and along with the “wizard and i” scene, in the song we hear what Elphie truly dreams of and how desperately she wishes to be seen, how she wants to do good and how she wishes people could look past her green skin and genuinely see the good person she is.

Thats where we get back to the OZdust ball room scene and we get to the dance scene, and in that scene we start to see where Glinda and Elphie kinda don’t care what people think. Specially Glinda, this is one scene where she truly doesn’t care this one time even when her friends try and stop her and she still does the dance anyway.

Next is the defying gravity scene and the deleted scene where Elphie promises to not leave Glinda behind again.

In the defying gravity scenes we see them fighting and we saw them almost escaping together. Elphie kept her promise…till Glinda was the one we broke it, she couldn’t go with Elphaba and she had her reasons, we can speculate those and why she didn’t go. But in the end it was Glinda who broke that promise.

Those are just four scenes that add (and would add) so much depth to the movie, I genuinely love everything about it from the acting to the little details, specially the shoes that nessa gets at the beginning of the movie, in the original book the shoes weren’t red they were silver and I loved how they showed both pairs of shoes.

I also loved how even the second time you watch it you catch more than the first time you watched it. The movie has so much emotion and love put into it as well as thought, i also loved how they sung live, it makes the movie feel more real.

I genuinely felt it was a smart decision todo such a thing, and in all honesty I don’t think it would’ve done so well if they hadn’t of sung live. Of course they would’ve done amazing but not like they would have of they hadn’t of sung live.

So inclusion, this movie has a genuine 10/10 from me and one of my favorite 2024 movies, now that it’s out on streaming I would give it watch again (which i will be doing) and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in it.

https://www.tumblr.com/gayeddiejuice/783540404015464448/the-thing-is-we-know-where-the-story-is-going

I mean I do agree rushing in one episode would suck and be a disaster.

But at the same time. “Giving them time to tell the story” is starting to run its course. The dragging it out is getting old. Especially when half the time it gets delayed and dragged out because Tim is sidetracked on guest star characters now.

They had this ready to launch in season 4 (and I will lay the blame with Fox for that). But they again had it ready in season 7. Then we got early renewal and they delayed it once again to “give the story room to breath”

We’ve just spent season 8 getting everything we got. And we are at the end of the season again with “oh they need more time to let the story breath”

They really don’t have many excuses left for why they aren’t ready to actually pull the trigger by now after having been ready multiple other seasons, other than we need the engagement it brings.

ok. i deleted the original post cause i feel like i didn’t word my thoughts right.

what im trying to say is yeah i agree with you its been developing for A LONG time. but i just dont trust tim with the finale, it’ll be rushed and bad. and thats his fault for sidelining the story line (and eddie) for so much of the season!! don’t even get me started on my thoughts on tim as a showrunner 🙄

i do still believe we’ll get some kind of confirmation or feelings realization in the finale. what oliver said in that interview could apply to so many things the fans have wanted and asked for, a kiss for example, and im almost 100% a kiss is not going to happen. would i LOVE a buddie kiss? Hell yeah!! I’ve been waiting YEARS!!!! but i don’t see it happening tomorrow. what i do see happening is the confirmed feelings realization.

we also always have to keep in mind the most important rule of reading actor interviews

🗣️🗣️ ACTORS LIE 🗣️🗣️

oliver cannot go out there and say, yeah this finale is gonna give you everything you’ve asked for. that would be spoiling the whole episode.

anyways gonna end this by saying buddie feelings realization (one sided or mutual I’ll take either) and bobby alive tomorrow TRUST!!

[definitive-receipt]

About the court case:

you are aware that all of the screenshots from discord and other social media sites that are commonly used as evidence against Viv wouldn't be accepted as evidence in a court of law, right?

Screenshots are only admissible evidence in court if they pass authentication requirements; which means you have to have records of when, how, by whom, and on what type of device and operating system it was captured. You also have to prove it wasn't altered in any way and include the metadata of the screenshot. Primarily because it's very easy to alter or falsify digital screenshots.

If you're unable to provide any of that, the court will just throw it out. In fact in most cases screenshots are thrown out by default when presented as evidence. There's tons of legal precedence for it:

Moroccanoli v. Marc Anthony Cosmetics: facebook screenshots were thrown out because they couldn't be authenticated.

United States v. Vayner: A print out of a website was rejected as evidence and that decision was upheld by an appeals court TWICE.

Edwards v. Junior State of America Foundation: the court rejected an attempt by a plantiff to provide screenshots of deleted facebook evidence instead of native files, citing best evidence rule.

Unless you can prove without a shadow of a doubt that all the screenshots of Viv's wrongdoings are 100% authentic with proper metadata to back it up, no court will accept it.

Kendraws has proven that their messages are real and not faked. If you noticed from the last ask I said I would prefer an *ex-employee that has been through the firsthand experience with viv. Also also, spindlehorse is handled through discord and that is where her 'official' business goes through which is shady and weird! Even if messages can be edited/deleted if someone archives the original server the way it is to reveal what goes on behind the scenes then that would be substantial proof bringing an entire laptop/printed receipts over 'yes your honor these are her messages, timestamps, double verified over the original server the way it is and messages before editing'. Im not discussing just screenshots here, obviously, but there can be email confirmations and overall messages from discord because it's been proven that that's what sp1ndlehorse uses.

I think this is a unique case study over the fact that, again, sp1ndlehorse uses and is primarily on discord to pay and communicate with their artists it is not an official licensed business. I'm aware that sometimes internet drama isn't taken seriously but If some ex-artists rally up enough people to actually speak out about this sort of mistreatment and mispay there CAN potentially be a genuine case about this sort of issue at hand. If multiple artists have to come out to say 'she doesn't pay her artists can anyone do something about this? I was paid 20 per shot, someone else was paid 30, and another one of us was only paid 15 per background art'. I think the time is ripe enough to try and make a case here even if multiple artists have quit and only worked on one episode, due to the toxic nature behind the scenes which is kept on the downlow something needs to happen! Not to mention, thinking about it shes been scamming/not fulfilling her patreon for a while to my knowledge her patreon could also be taken down or someone could get her over that as well considering shes funded fully through youtube, Prime, and A24 soooo dont see a reason for her to still keep up an over 5 year old patreon that.... I'll take a court case about tax fraud at this point, mismanagement, or improper crediting ANYTHING.

https://passionfru.it/hazbin-hotel-spindlehorse-studio-46812/

There have been artists that have stated about mispay and mistreatment multiple times. Huge red flags and very weird behavior all around about pay despite trying to cover it up as 'freelance pay fluctuates' there's obviously favoritism within the 'studio' about this sort of thing.

Believe what you want to believe but face the facts knowing artists are mistreated, miscredited, and outright silenced because nobody wants to believe the actual people that work on this and animate it but would rather take Adam Neylan/V1vs word over them because 'Oh they can't be that bad'.

I'm tired of the excuses, and again, I'm not pursuing a legal case I just want justice for the artists and for sp1ndlehorse to maybe learn their place or outright get sued from mismanagement :/

Remus & the Pack Meet

-this is a story i add to whenever Im trying to go to sleep and cant. its just a bunch of bits and pieces of a bigger universe. (if you see this also posted by an account called oscarthegrouch, thats also me I just accidentally posted to it and now cant delete it)-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“By Merlin, this is the worst idea I’ve ever heard. James, tell him he’s an idiot.” Sirius paced the sitting room, arms folded, then flailing, and folded once more. James was looking up and over his glasses from his desk chair, a pile of parchment stacked high in front of him,

“He’s right, Moony. This isn’t a very thought out plan.”

“How can it be!?” Remus threw his arms into the air, “we’ve no clue what Greyback is intending to do at the Pack meet. Who better to find out then,” he gestured to himself wildly, “a bloody werewolf!?”

“He’s right, Pads,” Peter chimed in, “We really should find out more, Greyback has always been a slippery one, and if we’re to chip away at You-Know-Who’s forces, it could help to start with one of his ‘Generals’, as we might put it.”

Remus sighed, “Thank you, Pete, I appreciate your support.”

“It’s still a stupid plan, though.” 

“Pete!” Remus groaned, “Like I said, there can’t be a plan. We don’t know enough, first of all, and second of all, I have to act as natural as possible. I have to play as an open-minded recruit. Easy as pie.”

“That’s not the point!” Sirius interjected, stepping to the center of the room. 

James cleared his throat, “We also don’t know what intel he has on you. They could very well know you're part of the order and have a trap set in place to get to the rest of us.” he added, “our lives have been connected for years now, they most definitely have all of that on us.”

“Yes, but they don’t know that you all know I’m a werewolf.”

“Bingo.” Pete sang,

“Except for Snape, that weasel.” Sirius huffed.

“And whose fault is that?” Remus muttered under his breath. Sirius whipped around, but the other man was looking pointedly away and no one else seemed to hear. Pete added on, “And he’s most definitely a death eater by now.” Quiet noises of agreement filled the stale air,

“We could just play it off as you all being prejudiced towards werewolves and I’d had enough, so I joined the pack.” Remus attempted the resolve, finally looking at Sirius with arms extended towards his biggest objector,

“You will not go about telling people we’re racists!” Sirius placed a hand on his chest in shock.

“You would be the most believed, Padfoot. You know, with your family background and all…” Peter mumbled the last bit, but Sirius had heard all the same. His mouth, agape, closed and opened multiple times with intent to make an argument, but it was no use. He had nothing in response, so he sat angrily on the settee, arms crossed and pouting.

“So, its settled th-“

“It is NOT settled!” Sirius cut Remus off,

“Yes, it is.” James followed with a sigh, “We all know there's no stopping him. He’ll go whether we support the decision or not.”

“Well, he should take into consideration what his best mates suggest, which is staying the fuck away from Greyback!”

“He is standing right here,” Remus interjected loudly, silencing the others before they could argue with him anymore, “and knows that you all are just trying to keep him safe. But I am capable of this mission.”

Sirius chewed at his cheek, arms still crossed. Remus looked to him, but Sirius avoided his gaze, instead choosing a snagged length of string on the rug to analyze.

“I leave tomorrow at dawn, but I'll make sure to write up as much information on my whereabouts before I go, just in case things head south. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to collect my things.” Remus headed towards the large oak door of the sitting room,

“Need any help?” Peter asked, looking up from his book,

“No, thanks. I should be able to handle it.” He turned the knob and exited, closing the door gently behind him. The room was quiet for a moment, the only sound being James shuffling parchment and the now distant steps of Remus upstairs,

“Bloody fucking werewolves. The lot of them.” Sirius spat, “he's going to get himself killed.”

“He’ll be fine, he always is.” Peter sighed.

“Until he isnt,” Sirius mumbled, and them much louder argued, “he's not invincible! I mean, he cried in year three when you told him the seafood chowder was made from the Giant Squid. Remember, James?” James blew air through his nose in humour,

“Merlin, the guilt after almost ate me alive. It was horrendous. But we aren't thirteen anymore, Pads. We all want to do our part in this war, and he feels this is his.” James looked over the parchment in his hand once more before levitating it to where Peter was sat, “look over this for me, will you?” Peter huffed in annoyance, “if this is the menu for next week's dinner again, I swear on Merlins beard-“ the parchment stopped mid-air, then slowly started to float back to James, who was looking down sheepishly.

I feel so greedy after reading your latest fic, I WANT MORE. 💀 I absolutely loved it, I appreciate that you write our boys in a way that feels realistic. Sometimes I think it’s hard to write dialogue for NFL fics that doesn’t seem odd or forced but I can really see Joe and Ja’Marr in your writing. Hence why I can’t wait for whatever you write next 🥲💜 AMAZING WORK

HAHAHAHA 😭😭🤭 don’t feel bad for being greedy anon!!! I love writing!! <333 (im insane 😵‍💫)

BUT i have a TON of wips rn and i literally keep writing little by little for each because im too obsessed w wanting to finish all of them!!!😔 AND THEN things like last week happened where i get the strongest urge ever to write just about one fic and all my attention is on that one wip 😭 (neglecting the poor others 😾)

so here’s a list of some of the wips i got going on rn: (putting a cut cuz i yap)

1. a joemarr time travel au that has been in the works since october that the wonderful chasedeys came up w and let me write a version of it!!! (she probably doesn’t even remember me asking to write about it cuz it’s been so long 😭😭)

it’s also taking forever because i want it to be multiple chapters and who knew how hard it would be to write the pov’s between the past and the future 😮‍💨😮‍💨 (so this one is most likely going to be my next post because imma put out a couple chapters at different times!!!)

2. a koc/jj smutty Christmas fic 😼😼 (I CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to write a player/couch dynamic) every time i think im getting the hang out it, i reread it and delete it cuz i hate it😭😭 so that one might take a while!!

3. stef/josh angsty reunion. basically they see each other again, outside of the football field (maybe during offseason or sum??) and they finally talk about everything yk?? just a very emotional fic tho with all the angsty and eventually fluff (and probably smut 😭)

4. another stef/josh EXCEPT it has nothing to do with football and it’s a Hallmark au. like city boy Stefon meets farmer boy Josh out in butt fuck nowhere after Stefon’s plane has to have an emergency landing due to weather or some shit like that. and it’s all the cliches of a Hallmark movie. the small town community, trying to save the local bakery, Stefon not liking Christmas that much, Josh teaching him Christmas is more than just Santa and presents, it’ll even start snowing when the kiss. like i wanna go full out!!

but that ones gonna take a while too cuz it would be fully from scratch and i wouldn’t have anything to go off of (if that makes sense??😭)

5. Joemarr in France during the Paris fashion week!!! this was actually asked by an anon a while ago and i still haven’t finished it😔 (IM SO SORRY ANON!!!😓) but basically it’s them in France together and just up to no good yk?? (plus some smut cuz Ja’marr wouldn’t be able to hold himself back after see Joe’s outfit!!!)

SOOO, i have all these wips in my drafts, waiting to be typed upon 😼 CUZ THEY WILL ALL COME OUT EVENTUALLY!!! 🫡🫡

anywhoooo, does this even answer ur question anon??😭😭 TYSM for the compliment btw!! <3333 love you guys!!!💗💗

Hello, I was relieved to see a kind and reasonable reblog as opposed to what I've been exposed of the fandom these past days... You can privately answer this ask or not at all, I'd hate for you to get blocked by mutuals in the fandom LOL (guess who that happened to, whoops?) I wanted to ask you about the Ferdinand fic idea that got you stonewalled?

First, I'm not afraid to be seen interacting with you! You're one of the few people who interact with me directly in the fandom, when I have literally been dying for some sort of aob interaction. I have so much love for you already, though we've only interacted a few times! It will be a shame if my mutuals block me because of this. I understand they probably want to curate their blog to avoid any AoB hate. Sometimes, you just want to keep the good times rolling, and I get that.

It would be a shame since you and me differ in opinions on a lot regarding Aob. If you ingested any of my content, you would know. For one, I'm a fervent Fermyne shipper, and I'm a Ferdinand lover. My blog will always reflect that. I mean, i have a multiple fermyne post on my blog, but at the same time, I'm in the minority(?) that prefer Sylvester over Ferdinand. Funnily enough, when i joined the fandom over 2 years ago, speaking well about Sylvester was almost unheard of. I was still at the beginning of part 3 and couldn't understand, but in part 4, I got it even if I disagreed because he's just a good boy okay? He's trying his best😭😭

Either way, even though I wasn't interacting directly with the fandom, I learned early on that the nail that sticks out will be hammered down in this fandom. And my own interactions outside of tumblr haven't been pleasant. If me a person who falls primarily in the majority regarding my opinions is feeling this then i can only imagine what someone who has interpreted the series in a different way feels and I know I must not be alone in this feeling.

I want this fandom to be a place where we can discuss freely without fear. I want this fandom to feel welcoming. I've been a part of so many fandoms, and too many of them are toxic.

I'm sorry you're getting hate. I haven't seen it in the notes, so I'll assume you're either deleting it or it's in your asks. If so, I am disappointed with us a group. I understand loving something so strongly that you feel attacked, but interacting and analyzing in the way that you do is a form of love as well and has its place in fandom.

I believe we've grown in number here on tumblr over the past two years, and it's time to organize ourselves better to prevent stuff like this from happening in the future and help everyone curate their own experience as we navigate the main tag. To be honest, I'm not even sure if we have an "official" acronym for the series yet(Are we AoB or AoaB?), but I could just be out of the loop. Maybe we should have a tag specifically for discussions and analysis in this fandom?

I'm gonna be tagging this because I feel we as a community need to think on this, and im willing to start that discussion. I just want this fandom to be as welcoming and fun as possible for everyone. We are all never gonna completely agree, but we can have fun together on here like I believe we have been.

mun meme

𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐍!

★  NAME:  Bryn

★  PRONOUNS:  she/her.

★  BEST EXPERIENCE: Meeting my girlfriend through RP has to be at the top of the list, and meeting some really great friends too. Just talking about the IC stuff, idk, I'm pretty happy with how things have been going recently?

★  PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: IMs are okay but discord is best! I am very chatty on discord sometimes, and the search function is really helpful for me when it comes to going back and finding old things. I'm also just on discord basically all day in some capacity, so I rarely miss things for long.

★  MOST ACTIVE MUSE: I can basically write any of my DR OCs at the drop of a hat, although Shinobu is the one who I am currently writing most, and have the easiest time writing because of that. I think for me, though, it's more "do I have energy/creativity to write right now at all" rather than if I have muse for a specific character or not - it's not usually the case that I struggle with a specific character at a time when I'm otherwise writing easily.

★  EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS: I started off on a forum in maybe 2006 or 2007, did some stuff on livejournal, had a cup of coffee at Gaia Online, and settled on Tumblr in maybe... 2012? 2013? I've done some things on discord (don't love it for RP) and google docs (it's okay) since then, and a handful of other places, but I think I'm just Here Now, like furniture.

★  RP PET PEEVES:  

I have talked about these all so many times so I'll try to keep it brief hahaha.

People who repeatedly drop threads without reaching out to say anything (this is my #1 pet peeve), and people who generally cycle "taking on too many asks/drafts, then dropping all of them, repeat."

People who habitually archive/delete and remake their blogs, especially if they don't make any changes to how they run things, who they interact with, etc. I see it as, like "bringing your bed to your new apartment and being confused as to why you still have bedbugs."

People who post tons of OOCs, as well as things like memes, starter calls, ship calls, etc. while having a massive backlog of drafts and inbox things already.

People who treat OCs/female characters/female OCs dismissively, or as stepping stone interactions.

★   PLOTS OR MEMES: Plots. I honestly don't like memes very much since I feel like they seldom lead to the kind of long-term interactions I like the most, but they're so entrenched on tumblr that I just kinda have to accept them. I would much rather talk to people and plot out loose thread ideas than send in a dialogue prompt from a movie I haven't seen and hope it gets answered and hope that that answer feels like something I can respond to and hope that my reply gets replied to and it's actually a thread. I like doing stuff that develops across multiple threads too, and plotting is much better for that.

★  ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: Not really, I don't think. There are pieces of me in all of my characters, of course, and there are superficial similarities sometimes in terms of like, hobbies or interests, but I think the characters who feel like they got more of me mixed into them are like, D&D characters, or characters from my other blogs.

tagged by: @more-than-a-princess also tagging because tumblr is a functional website and perhaps putting things on a new line is the only fix: @timesunder @shishigirls @saburaito @sunbreathr

tagging: @lunaetis @guidedhearts @amaidol @infintasmal @corrpse also tagging myself since that seems to be the only way to not have it break someone else's tag very cool: @quickdeaths

Normally, if I get weird or hate anons, I just delete them and move on. But I feel like I have to say something this time, because that is apparently not getting the point across.

I turned anon back off again because I have now received four different anon messages (not including the "critique" one) that may have been well-intentioned, but have wildly overstepped. I don't usually mind when people send asks with questions or commentary, but there is a line, and it has definitely been crossed.

If you send someone multiple messages about the same sort of thing and they don't reply, they probably don't want to deal with whatever you're talking about. Especially when the only avenues they have are to answer the question publicly (since there's no way to reply privately to an anon message) or simply delete it.

If it had just been one message, I would have deleted and moved on. But since I have now received four that are on the same / similar topic, it's getting to the point of harassment.

This is going to be the only time I address this instead of just deleting, so here we go:

1. I am not, nor will I ever be, a fictional character. You are trying to project something onto me, and keep pushing and pushing, but it's not going to happen. I may relate to fictional characters, see some of my own struggles and traumas in them in a way that helps to recontextualize my own, but they do not exist.

2. The messages I have been getting feel like they are bait for me to post them and make other people feel bad, and I am not going to do that.

3. Don't ask people to share pictures of themselves, especially not through an anon message. If you've become friends, and you've been chatting for a while, you might be able to talk to them and be like "here's a picture of me" and see if they want to share themselves in a private setting, or maybe they'll be like "it's munday; here's a picture of me," but straight up asking, especially couching it in compliments to try to draw attention away from the request is uncomfortable.

4. I do not know why you have decided that I'm the one you want to fixate on, but at this point, it has become weird and uncomfortable. I understand that you think it's flattering, and maybe it would have been if it was just one message, but when that went unanswered, you should have stopped there.

5. If you really wanted to talk to me, you should have sent me an ask yourself (not one through anon) or an IM. I'm pretty open to talking to people, but all of this would have been better one-on-one.

I know I'm still being pretty vague, but there's no way I can post any of the asks I received that would add additional context without feeling even more uncomfortable than addressing things even like this has made me.

I don't owe anyone anything. I am simply trying to tell stories on my silly little RP blog with my friends, and I deserve to have my own space be a solace I can go to without worrying about whether or not someone else is going to project onto me or harass me when I don't answer their asks.

I love this blog; I have been more creative here than I have anywhere in a long time, and I'm not going to let anyone ruin that for me.

[your-absolute-destiny]

Why you don't you respond to people that are trying to apologize?

//answering ooc here. man im one guy and at multiple points, within 3 days of making this blog, luckys inbox has reached over 100 asks. thats a lot to sort through within the first 3-4 days of a character!! i have an actual life. im stuck on mobile. i need to sleep. there is a person behind the screen not just the character.

//if lucky doesnt answer something, unless its got posted with an ask deleted thing or i make an ooc post, theres a large chance that either a) i dont see it in thr mass of notifications b) i genuinely dont know how to respond to somethint said or sent or c) i see it and then go to do something else and forget. hell sometimes on my other blogs i purposely save asks for later because they work better if posted some other time. its not always the character ignoring you im just busy sometimes AND I HAVE POSTED THIS OOC.

//just be patient please because im a real person with a life outside of pkmn irl. the first ask apologizing for the legendary shit was sent while i was doing stuff with friends, and this ask was sent sometime after midnight while i was asleep. its 8 am while im answering it. i am under no obligation to answer any asks from people here im doing it for fun. this isnt a job im being paid for. pestering me to answer your asks will not get me to answer them faster.
