my favorite thing about dirkjohn is that i have never seen a truly bad interpretation of them. anything works with them. they have never met. they have secretly known each other for years. they’re fluffy and adore each other after being deprived of love for so long. they fight and bicker and yell at each other. they’re unlabeled. dirk is so obviously gay and john is so obviously bi and they have been boyfriends for a while. you can have depression dirkjohn. ultimate dirkjohn. fucking tattoo artist and flower shop dirkjohn. everyone’s jaws drop at this arrangement. everyone thinks about it and realizes it actually makes sense. they are thematic foils who completely contrast. they are more like alike than anyone thinks. the possibilities are endless with dirkjohn.

Creepypasta is inherently cringy. It's foundations are built on the backs of mentally ill teens and young adults from the late 2000s-2010s. Of course it's self indulgent, we were suffering and needed escapism. Of course some of the portrayals of mental illnesses are less than perfect, we were navigating an ableist world while struggling with said illnesses. Hell, many of us were being abused and the idea of a found family made it so we could make it through another day.

I've been in the creepypasta fandom since I was a little girl. 9 years old, in fact, 2009. The dawn of ARGs becoming popular. I've only recently began creating content because I felt the community has matured enough that if someone didn't like what I did, they'd move on rather than rant and rave over how garbage my art is. That's mostly the case. Mostly.

See, I'm seeing a rise in "mature" portrayals of these characters. Not NSFW "mature", that's always been there. I mean supposedly gritty, realistic, "made for adults" kind of spins. It'd be fine if the people doing it weren't fucking trampling on the heritage of the community in the process. We're a goofy community, and the slenderman is our dad that makes us waffles. We write bullshit, but still entertaining stories about serious topic, then put those characters in goddamn tutus. You can have your cake and eat it too. You just don't have to be unpleasant about it.

My favorite example of this duality is @carnalhaus 's Nine Jeff. His story is heartachingly sad, it's fairly realistic, it's got mature and NSFW themes at times, and yet... we've got art of him in a cat maid outfit. And it's fantastic. The duality of this fandom is what makes it so great. Shunning one part in favor for the other is just a fundamental misunderstanding of the media. Being all high and mighty about how "mature" and "realistic" your interpretation is isn't unique. It's sad.

guys they’ll definitely be a community movie and a hannibal season 4, they’ve only been teasing it for a couple years so it’ll definitely totally happen

Maybe it sounds silly, but Buddy Daddies was honestly one of the highlights of 2023 for me. Not only did I meet some truly wonderful people within the fandom, but for the first time in years I actually felt motivated to write and draw again.

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to bring this family to life. Hopefully we get to see more of them in the years to come, but whether or not we ever get more official content, this beautiful little family will always live rent free in my heart.

Happy New Year Everyone!! ❤️💙🩷

Inspired by this post!

Bzz!

The villain groans and rolls onto her side. It’s still dark out. Surely nothing important can be happening at this time. She’ll ignore it.

Bzzzzzzz!

Ugh. No, it can wait. No job can be that serious when the moon's still out.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

The villain leaps up and snatches her phone from the nightstand. She taps blindly at the screen and brings it to her ear with an incensed “what?”

“Bonjour, amigo,” says the voice on the other side. The other villain. The villain gave him a coffee once—and this is how he repays her endless kindness? Cruel.

“That’s two different languages, you dimwit,” the villain snaps. “What the hell is so important at” — the villain glances at the clock blinking on the table — “quarter to four in the morning?”

“Damn, is that the time?” the other villain says brightly, as if the villain just said it’s time for lunch and not the middle of the goddamn night. “Yeah, okay, look. I don’t mean to get you involved in my maniacal plans” — the villain can imagine him waving his hands rather manically as he says it — “but could you get to the old town hall in, like, half an hour?”

“What—”

“And bring some of your guys.” The other villain coughs a laugh that crackles the speaker. “Your goons, your lackeys. Whatever you call them.”

“I’ll bring a couple of my henchmen,” the villain corrects pointedly, “if you tell me what this is about.”

The other villain goes quiet for a moment. “I’ll give you half the payout if you don’t ask questions.”

Ooh. A fun little mystery and a pile of cash. The villain was never adverse to a little puzzle. “Whatever. I’ll just let [Supervillain] know I’m coming then I’ll get—”

“No!” the other villain cuts in hastily. “No, don’t tell him. It’s a, uh... a surprise.”

“A surprise,” the villain echoes flatly. “You’re an atrocious liar, you know.”

“Half the payout for no questions.”

Something to solve in her free time. “Fine. I’ll be there in an hour.”

“But I said—”

“Half the payout,” the villain drawls, “half the effort. See you in an hour.”

The other villain makes a noise that half resembles a “fine” and hangs up without another word.

The villain sits in silence for a moment, letting the night’s chill rush over her bare feet before begrudgingly hauling herself out of bed.

Half the payout for her silence. The other villain better hope the reward for this is huge.

hi!! i saw that ur reqs r open, so i wanted to request something :: mika kagehira x gn reader whose socially awkward + has mainly low energy headcanons ?? thank you :)

me when i start a request and waits like ten years to finish it/j meeks.. i am so normal about him

kagehira mika x gn!reader | fluff | cw: reader has low energy which can lead to some things we're all familiar with :D

➵ mika knows how socially awkward you can be so he tries not to overstimulate you so much. he knows that he's way too energetic for his own good and he sometimes forgets you tire easily.

➵ "it's not your fault" you tell him as he frantically waves his hands around and apologizes in a rushed manner. your small, yet tired smile makes mika worry more as he finds a way to make it up to you somehow.

➵ mika is a great comforter whenever you're feeling your lowest. he would ask what was wrong before anything else. your comfort and happiness are mika's top priority.

➵ he would sometimes ask ritsu and arashi for advice on how to help you further. he only wants to help you feel less overstimulated.

➵ in that sense, he tries to help you when there's a large crowd and you are too tired socially to deal with it. plus, he knows how socially awkward you were- his teach is the same thing. he would lead you out of there and sit with you until you were okay to go again. if you ask to go home, then he will take you home.

➵ sometimes the only person you'd talk to would be mika because of how socially awkward you were. sometimes you'd talk to him and his friends but that would be it. mika understands completely!

➵ your comfort is what mika values most and he'll continue to support you in any way he can

*Crawling out from the gutter* I apologize, Baldur’s gate grabbed me by my throat and just never let me go

[skunkes]

what they dont tell you about being incredibly introspective is that you'll think you're done making realizations and then you'll just make more realizations always all the time forever
