star wars: the return of kwisatzzhaderach/madsrambles

hello all, i’ve decided to come back after going thoroughly insane for a few months

i’m going through and following as many old mutuals as i absolutely can and i’ll probably tag a few of you in this post in the morning

all anyone new needs to know is that i’m mads, i used to have a blog on here with the same name, i’m in my mid twenties, and i’ll be posting whatever the hell i like

[kyluxtrashpit]

May I ask why under construction is going to be your final kylux fic?? I'm gonna miss your writing for them if that becomes true 😭

So I talked a little bit about this on twitter, but tbh should’ve here both because half my audience is here and also because tumblr actually has the room for a complete explanation without worrying about character limits lmao

At this point, I don’t intend to stop writing star wars stuff completely if that’s any comfort. I have some renbens I want to do/finish, also a recent bentai idea, plus who knows what inspiration will strike. Even kylux inspo is possible, especially if we get new stuff at some point (like perhaps that comic in august). Nothing is set in stone here. I never thought I’d actually be at a point where this fic feels finishable lmao, yet here I am, so who knows

However, I have been writing kylux for over 7 years now. I posted that moodboard on my anniversary of the first fic I published, though I was reading fic and stuff for a few months before that as well. And it’s just… after this fic is complete, I’m not sure I’ll have anything left to add to kylux, you know? With it, I feel like I’m saying everything that I want to say about them. Writing this, as both rough and rewarding a journey it has been, feels a lot like closure to me. Tbqh I’m expecting a lot of people not to like the subject matter or agree with some things regarding this fic, but for the first time in a while, it really is about me and what I want. It’s a story I have to tell - that’s why it’s driven me mad for 3.5 years lmao. And after it’s done? I’m not sure what will be left to say. Maybe something, in which case more kylux will happen, but also maybe nothing. Essentially, I’m preparing both myself and the people I care about in this fandom (including lovely readers like you) for the latter just in case it is what happens, even though it may not. Maybe when I post it, it’ll get a ton of love and I’ll get flooded with sudden inspo. But maybe not. Everything has to end eventually, sadly, and this just feels to me like an ending, like the closing of a chapter. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s just the feeling I have. I’m going with my gut here rather than a specific plan

Also, as much as I have people in this fandom I truly care about and adore and I have people who care about and like me, whether we’re close friends, mutuals, or just a follower and a person that have never spoken to each other yet the care is there regardless, there’s also some elements to this fandom that are not so great. I know a lot of people who’ve been driven out. I myself was cancelled on twitter for running a particular event and the rest of the fandom hasn’t treated me the same since. The fandom has changed a lot in those 7 years, some of which is for the better, and some of which I think we could’ve done without. Plenty has also stayed the same; both the good and the bad. And I think the fandom as it is today and what I want to get out of it are just unfortunately incompatible. It’s no ones fault, but sometimes a space isn’t giving you what you need it to. I wish it could still give me that, I really really do, but right now it just seems it can’t. And that’s not the entirety of the reason, but it is a factor as to why I’m not as interested in continuing as I once was. I’m just not getting what I need out of the fandom right now. Again, everything is mutable, but it’s felt that way for a bit now

All that being said though, kylux will still very much exist on this blog. I still very much enjoy the ship and I don’t have a new fandom to move to permanently as of yet, so reblogs will continue, as will shitposting and memes and all of it. I recently finished collecting all the tweets I want to preserve here, so there will be an influx of posts, ficlets, memes, all of it, that will be coming sometime in the near future (whenever I have the energy to actually start the process lmao). This is still the kyluxtrashpit, after all lmao

So I’m not leaving the fandom by any stretch, it’s just that I feel like this fic will say all the things I have left to say about kylux. And because the fandom space isn’t giving me what I’m looking for at the moment, I have less interest in seeking out inspiration and rather am letting ideas to come to me, which at present I just don’t have any more beyond this fic. I could be wrong and who knows, maybe there’s another 7 years of kylux ahead of me lmao. But I want everyone who’s supported me at any point during these last 7 years to know ahead of time that it is very possible for this to be my last fic for kylux because I think that’s the least I can do for you all

[tealrootsgerardwayreal]

Making an intro post bc why not

Haiiii my name is Millie and I am in love with American rock band My Chemical Romance. I’m 14 and I’m half British half Indian (I live in Britain). I’m kinda shy when it comes to posting but idk I think it’s the fact that I currently have coronavirus, yes in 2024, that I have just decided to fuck it and shitpost on here. The fandoms I’m in are:

My Chemical Romance (they’re my special interest)

Pierce The Veil (seeing them 23.09.25 with my friend <3)

Paramore (I am madly in love with Hayley Williams.)

I love a lot of other bands too but they’re the main ones (some of the others are Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Pulp, not a band but Chappell Roan, Sleeping With Sirens, Crawlers, Black Veil Brides, System Of A Down and Bring Me The Horizon)

non-music are:

The Osemanverse- I love Alice Oseman sm and that’s one of the main reasons I even got tumblr in the first place. 

MLB 😍😍- I’ve been in that fandom since I was seven and have lots of…strong opinions about the writing choices

Friends‼️‼️ I love yapping about this show istg call it overrated all you want but it’ll always have a special place in my heart 😡😡

HAZBIN HOTEL AND HELLUVA BOSS BUT I HAVE TO WARN YOU I SHIP STOLITZ LIKE A LOT AND FULL MOON FUCKING BROKE ME 

Anyway this blog is going to be mainly used for My Chemical Romance, but yeah these are just all the other things I like too 😭😭

Basic dni criteria: racists, homophobes, Zionists, transphobes, being prejudiced against religions, pedos, waycest shippers, etc, I’m a minor so please don’t be creepy

I’m also currently running a fucking I don’t even know what it is but I’m counting how many days it takes for video 165 to come out because I am sad

My other socials:

annoyedkilljoy on instagram

notmillie.aaw on discord

millie.aaw on Airbuds

ANYWAY HAVE A GOOD DAY MOTHERFUCKERS I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT ANYONE HAS READ THIS FAR BUT GO LISTEN TO MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE I LOVE YOU BYE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[gffa]

hey there! coming from a teenager who loves your blog, there’s something i’ve been wondering for a while: how do you have so much time? this isn’t judgemental or anything, i honestly just want to know what i’m doing. if you aren’t finding art or comics or reading books and posting a screenshot, you’re writing whole essays or replying to asks or adding onto posts with a whole number of your usual well thought out paragraphs. it’s perhaps a little enviously that i, awestruck, ask how you do it?

“what i’m doing.” doing WRONG doing wrong that’s what i meant to say. i’m sorry, the previous ask probably comes off baffling otherwise😂💛

Hi!  Honestly, a lot of it just comes down to practice and multitasking.  That and I might seem like I’m doing more than I am--almost all of my blog is run on a queue, so I may seem active throughout the day like today for instance, but I’ve really only been around for an hour or so, the rest is just posts I shoved in my queue.  It’s not that I can’t spend several hours on tumblr stuff (I do sometimes!), it’s just not as much as it might appear! I read books during my commute or listen to audiobooks while I do on-line stuff or while I’m cleaning, I’m reasonably fast at writing the kind of meta or shitposts that I want to write, I don’t do fancy gifs so I can put together a set in like 10-15 minutes if I’m just making them for a meta’s sake, etc.  I’ve got my stuff organized so I can just dive right in, like I have a folder on my computer just for book screenshots and a folder just for comic screenshots and I’ve streamlined my process of dumping the files in there for when I’m ready, then whipping through them quickly when I’m in the mood to liveblog something.  And I have my sources lined up, like I have Hoopla or my library ready to go whenever I hop over there, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time hunting content down. And a lot of that just comes with time, I’ve been at this for a few years and it used to take me so much longer to put together a post!  Now, I’ve put enough Star Wars thoughts into words that I usually know what I want to say and what words I want to say it in within, like, half an hour to an hour.  Responses or tag spirals are just a handful of minutes because I’m hip-deep in the kind of jokes or commentary I want to make.  I don’t have to delete and rewrite parts of posts as often because I have strong views of what I think and practice at putting them into words.  I don’t have to search for the quotes I want to cite as much because I’ve used them often enough that I can remember which ones I want better or I look them up in the document I put together. In contrast, it takes me two-three times as long to write a Tolkien meta piece that’s not even half as in depth because I have to look a ton of stuff up or I have to reread everything so much more carefully, and it’s a slow process! It just comes down to time and practice, for me and I’m pretty sure that it’ll come for you as well.  Even in non-SW fandoms (like Tolkien!), I’m faster than I used to be, because I’ve practiced at phrasing things the way I want them, like a writer gets better at writing the more they do it, or an artist gets better at drawing the more they do it.  It’ll always take effort and be frustrating at times, but you will get better at it and it won’t take as much time as it does now. It might seem like everything is a ton of work for you right now (if you’re like me, that is! XD) or that it just takes so long, but eventually you will find ways to make your process more efficient (like it’s nothing for me to clip out a book quote from my folder because I’ve done it a thousand times, I practically do it with my eyes closed now) and you will gain practice at how you want your post structure to sound and you won’t have to think about it so much and you’ll find yourself writing an entire essay in half the time and so you’ll do another one, as long as you have time, and you’ll like like you have all the time in the world, but really you’re just spending as much or as little time on-line as you always have!  Fandom, for all that it is a hobby, is one that’s also a skill, just like knitting or crocheting or reading or writing.  The more you do it, the more you’ll find your groove with it!

frankly silly how big this pinned post is

hi!! i’m roman :)

last update to this post: dec 5 2024

if you are from Gaza and have sent an ask promoting your campaign, i want to say i stand with you and your people and i’m also disabled. i see the world differently and may not respond in a way that seems empathetic. i am trying my best to stand with you and your people while also making sure i don’t degenerate myself to the point of not being able to function. i come to tumblr to escape from my reality, so forcing myself to comb through my inbox only makes me want to do it less. i promise that i will get to it eventually!! thank you for your patience with me and FREE PALESTINE!!!! :)

my pronouns are (in order) they/he/she, i am 20 years old, and i’m autistic/adhd. i communicate in a way that may not make sense to you

this account is sfw. maybe some swearing and references to dirty jokes but nothing crazy.

my special interest is:

-Undertale. been here since 2015. i've seen everything. i know A Lot. my url is a Papyrus reference. my undertale blog is @autisticundertal-e

this blog is very multi-fandom and very hodgepodge-like. besides my special interest you’ll probably find a lot of things. longtime interests of mine that you Will find on this blog if you scroll long enough (not in order of importance):

-pokemon. games focused, but i like general lore. i have a pokemon roleplay account (UNREALITY CW): @rofromsinnoh

-avatar: the last airbender (i don’t like blue people avatar don’t talk about it here)

-omori. spoilers will be tagged #omori spoilers because this is a game you can only play once

-fnaf. this is a borderline special interest

-disney parks trivia and history. this is a borderline special interest

-posts about being autistic/neurodivergent

-casual/narrative video games. think “slay the princess” (amazing game) and animal crossing

-markiplier. his youtube content, distractable, and his cinematic universe. don’t know what that means? you’ll find out if you’re here long enough

-percy jackson. PJO and HOO. this began in like 2013

-marvel. specifically 2013-2016 era marvel. this comes from childhood

-sonic. games focused and shadow the hedgehog focused

-music. don’t have the energy to delve deep into this but you’ll see posts about what music i like

-writing. mostly fanfic n the culture surrounding it but also other forms of writing too

-random shitposts i think up

current hyperfixations. you might see this on my blog for a while and then it’ll completely disappear or it’ll become a longtime interest.

-hyperfixating on making my darkiplier fanfic: your ivy grows rn (check the 'my fics' tag!)

-arcane!!! i’m a jayvik truther but i swear to EVERYTHING if i see ONE MEL HATER on this blog i will be SHOOTING YOU WITH GUNS. if Miss Mel Medarda has zero fans i’m DEAD btw

if it’s not any of those i’m probably just brainrotting over it for a while and it'll pass soon. or it’ll become a lifelong interest. who knows? i don’t! hope you find something you like!!

Here’s a lil guide for my tagging system -

MY ART - Self explanatory, there was a phase where tumblr banned the word ‘my’ so you might find some stuff tagged under ‘OUR ART’ lmao

MY WRITING - ^^

SADIE SHITPOSTING - I mainly use this one for any funny/shitposty text posts

SADIE THINKIN - for my rambly text posts, it was ‘SADIE’S THOUGHTS’ for a while

TEXT POST - Used for any posts that don’t contain images or videos - any post that’s just text. I started using this as of 7/7/21 so anything before then won’t be tagged with this

IMPORTANT - Can range from announcements to reblogs of petitions or donations, or just stuff I want to remember, may also be used for discourse posts

SERIOUS POST - Anything discourse or “drama” related

ANON HATE - Relatively self explanatory, however don’t worry if you see this! Just because I’ve tagged something this way doesn’t mean I have been effected by it, I just want to ensure that people can filter these posts out should they want to :)

[arcadialedger]

Hi! I love your kotlc posts, the way you write about sophie and keefe’s relationship is so perfect. I wanted to ask how you feel about them getting together romantically as of the ending of unlocked? I’ve seen a lot of people argue that their relationship might not be the healthiest with keefe having left again, and I somewhat agree. I remember after I finished unlocked I was just so frustrated with him (even though I really do understand why he left, I can’t help thinking… again?) and I’m honestly not sure how Shannon’s going to rectify the situation. I’m sure she has a plan, but I’m worried it might not be very satisfying. Even if Sophie isn’t very very mad at him (which she definitely has the right to be), it’ll still be hard to repair the damage even if the next two books are the longest yet. I know they’ll probably end up together because the set up has been too strong, but somehow unlocked made it even more complicated than it already was!

Hi! Thank you so much for the lovely ask— I’m so glad you like my KOTLC posts— i have so much fun making them. It’s honestly an A+ series/ fandom for shitposts as well.

As for your question, my answer is simple— earned forgiveness and trust. The fact of the matter is, Keefe’s actions were done from the right place of heart, the wrong thing for the right reasons. He’s not beyond redemption (far from it in my eyes), and I think distance will only make Sophie realize how much she loves him.

My ideal arc would be one of both acting out of love for one another— including Sophie going to find Keefe and help him— and through their trials and tribulations growing closer and forgiving each other for past mistakes. Keefe has a lot to make up for, but I think he’ll earn it by the end of book 10. I trust Shannon Messenger to give us this arc, too. Because them immediately getting together without proper time to heal and having a conversation? Would be unhealthy.

Vixen’s brainrotts:: what you need to know

MASTERLIST

About me::

You can call me Vixen, I speak both German and English fluently. I’m 22, born on the 26 May 2002. I’m still trying to figure out a good structure for this page, and my aesthetic is still undefined so please be patient with me. Also, if I ever make a Masterlist (as soon as I figure out a system that works well) it’ll be linked separately. I also have a shitpost account if you’d like to check out what I'm screaming into the void (@vixensbusiness)

About my blog::

This page is an amalgamation of things. Every so often I’ll write a thing or two of my own, and reblog pieces that I think are exceptionally well written and deserve all the attention possible. Im currently looking for moots and anons to proofread my content and perhaps triangulate ideas with? Please message me if you’re interested!

About my original content::

3 rules> Don’t steal. Don’t plagiarize. Give credit where its due. If you cant follow those simple ideas, i dont think the two of us will get along very well. I pride myself on creativity and originality, try being a part of that mindset too. Most of my works will contain a female or gender neutral reader, which is what im most comfortable with but f you would like to see a male reader, just let me know by requesting or messaging me! I may not own characters, tropes, cliches or prompts, i do own the things i write, so please just respect that, thanks.

About requesting::

My ask box is always open for requests, especially for ideas, prompts or discussion topics you have. I enjoy being challenged in terms of writing, so please don’t hesitate to send me even your wildest requests! However, I do not write things like incest or rape, or anything degenerate of such nature. Please just be a decent being in the ask box. Please mention whether or not you’d like to remain anonymous too, it just makes a lot of stuff easier, thanks!

About fandoms::

- Stray Kids

- Tokyo Revengers

- Jujutsu Kaisen

I believe that’s all you have to know. Upon further questions please don’t hesitate to contact me, I promise that I’m happy to hear you.

[chimielie]

hii !! I really like your writing and love seeing you on the dash :) tho I’ve also come with a question 💝✨

so I have a small hq blog of my own and have some followers but the thing is that I don’t really get to interact with any :( like I’ll reblog an ask game for them to send in a letter or emoji and no one will or when I do get inbox messages it’s for requests and so I kind of envy social blogs but how should or could I go about this ? :0

thank you sm for reading this far lol and you don’t have to answer !! take care <3

hello hello!! this is so sweet and i’m glad u feel comfy coming to me and asking!!

personally i didn’t get a steady volume of interaction for a good long while so i recall exactly what that feels like :( i think what worked for me was just sort of spitting out shitposts every so often bc it helped me sort of get comfortable with yelling into the void and occasionally it invoked a response lol (it also helps with like personality? so people kind of get to know your humor and thoughts and how to approach you).

i think it was also really helpful to discourage impersonal interaction by like inviting conversation with the people who do interact with you, asking how their day is going and adding some personal notes in your author’s note/tags etc if you’re answering a request. this works better once you’re in a better position to ask things of ppl, but requiring them to hold a little bit of conversation with you can be a really good way to go about it (i asked ppl to send in a joke for my most recent “event” even though the jokes were unrelated to the content as an example). honestly i think a lot of ppl prefer it this way as well, and it’ll attract ppl who are looking for fandom friendships and such rather than for content machines if that makes sense

interacting with other blogs as well will def boost your interactions, like leaving in depth commentary on someone’s fic (or consistently on multiple of their works) will pretty much always gain you +25 friendship points and they’ll be more likely to check out ur work and boost it and interact with you in kind!! plus then other ppl will see how fun u are when ur talking to them and want to come talk to u lol ^ that’s not saying you should force urself to review fics u don’t like as a kind of networking thing though, it won’t always work? it just kind of helps to bond w ppl which is what we’re here to do

anyway this is kinda long and idek if it’s helpful at all haha but i hope it is!! basically just stick with it and eventually you’ll start seeing an uptick :) ty again for stopping by and i hope u have a lovely day/night!

[reddish-light]

tagged by @umibekafka; ty buddy I love you this was fun to do

1. Why did you choose your url?

To match all my gamer tag stuff across a lot of different sites. It actually came from a friend I played Dead by Daylight with and they were a killer and I was a survivor they had just downed. I think they said something along the lines of me being a slug in a puddle of reddish light and I thought it sounded cool so I took it. Now I use it everywhere I don't want my name attached and I use another name for people I know irl primarily.

2. Any sideblogs? If you have them name them and why you have them.

One blog that won't be named because it's my most popular blog full of angry venting stuff / poetry that resonates with similarly angry people that need to vent.

@lilred-fighting-hood for the Achievement Hunter fandom although I'm no longer part of, but I still reblog posts for the people that do follow that blog because I hope it brings them joy.

@lumos-nyx for my aesthetic blog. Lots of purple and space stuff, though recently it's been flowers.

@icecourt-crows for the Six of Crows fandom! Used to post my writing but I kinda fell out of SOC for now (just wait until I watch the Netflix series though.)

@snxwflakeheart for an old RP thing that I couldn't figure out because I am not good at RP lmao.

3. How long have you’ve been on tumblr?

2012/2013 I believe. Oh wow it's been nearly a decade (using decade puts things in perspective, huh).

4. Do you have a queue tag?

No; I'm sorry. I reblog everything when I am online and the only reprieve my followers get is when I am not online. I don't want to sully their dashboards when I'm not even there to watch.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I believe it was for H/etalia? Migrated from Quotev because I heard there was better fanart and fanfiction here.

6. Why did you choose your icon?

It's a Picrew I did for Halloween and it feeds into so many of my interests (tits out, hearts, heart eyes, dark red, how I see myself in my head or how I'd like to portray myself to others).

7. Why did you choose your header?

I don't have one and that's because I couldn't find one I liked.

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

I don't know how to check that and I am too lazy to find out; I'm sorry ask game :(

9. How many mutuals do you have?

"I don't know how to check that and I am too lazy to find out; I'm sorry ask game :(" PART 2

10. How many followers do you have?

613! Hello everyone that follows me (or followed me by mistake lmao).

11. How many people do you follow?

779 people! I pruned it recently so it's not as high as it was a month ago.

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

I haven't because I rarely personal post on this blog (aside from tag games like this).

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

Daily and sometimes I catch myself getting bored of Tumblr, so I open Tumblr in another tab without realizing it :|

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

Not on this blog, but I have like once or twice maybe? I "won" both times, but there is no "winning" in tumblr drama.

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I really dislike them because of the guilt tripping, but if the information is important to me, then I would reblog it. It would probably be better practice to reblog it from the last most relevant RB to avoid the guilt tripping, but alas.

16. Do you like tag games?

Tag games are fun! Too bad I don't notice I get tagged until much later because I don't check the activity tag lmao.

17. Do you like ask games?

They're fun to do on occasion; I don't like doing them on this blog though because the reach isn't as wide as my more popular side blog. At times, I thrive off the attention. At other times, please do not acknowledge my existence. And also, if one of the people I follow does an ask game, I send them something because I hope it'll brighten their day!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

A few of them! I know for sure that @vorpaldick is popular bc they did the JFK post and are generally witty, eloquent, and hot. Similarily, @exeunt-pursued-by-a-bear is also intelligent and well-spoken and has very in-depth knowledge on theater-related stuff!

19. Do I have a crush on a mutual?

Yeah and they know who they are; I even have a specific tag for them when I find posts that remind me of them.

20. Tags?

Anyone who wants to do it tbh! Just tag me if you're embarrassed abt wanting to do it unprompted :)

Hot take. You are a human being. Running a blog. Who also happens to like Star Wars. How dare your thoughts and opinions differ from any random single individual's in the fandom???? Lumi is problematic for THINKING THINGS! HoW DARE U????

LOL, OKAY, I’ll write a more serious response:  I don’t mind that other people disagree with me about stuff, I don’t even mind genuine attempts at discussion!  I do think that you probably have to step more carefully than you would with other topics--at least with some of us, because we’ve had enough bad faith bullshit to last us a lifetime--but that we’re not closed to all conversation, regardless of whether it’s good faith or bad faith.  I have had and do still have conversations with people who disagree with me! What I mind is when people come to me like I’m just here for them to argue with, when it’s clear they’re not engaging with anything I’ve actually said, when it’s clear they don’t want to have a discussion, but just want to tell me how wrong I am.  That’s only going to get shitpost meme responses from me because I think that’s far funnier and more productive.  I don’t owe anyone on this hellsite my time or energy for these things.  I will gladly give it to those who take extra steps to be considerate, but I don’t owe it to anyone. (I will say, however, that if you want to approach me to have an honest discussion about it, I promise to try to be as genuine as I can in such a conversation.  I can’t guarantee that it’ll be a fruitful conversation, but I can guarantee that I’ll give an honest shot.  You can send me an ask here or, if we’re in block with each other, over on mirkwoodings.) But also I think what you’re saying is important to keep in mind, too.  Yes, I am very loud.  Yes, I post a lot.  But also yes I am just one blogger on the internet.  I’m not obligated to agree to something or be some sort of blog-for-everyone-in-the-fandom, I’m here for the opinions I hold, I’m here for the things I like.  Disagreement is fine!  I follow plenty of people I disagree with on stuff!  But they’re kind and considerate people who recognize that disagreeing with stuff doesn’t mean you have to go around putting that on other people. (This is setting aside more serious issues of shitty behavior in fandom, that’s a whole other discussion.  I’m talking about stuff like, “I think it’s funny to make fun of Anakin for the things I relate to about him.”  Agree or disagree, whatever, but it has nothing to do with you, if it’s not your thing.) Ultimately, I have some popular opinions, I have some unpopular opinions, I’ll keep yelling loudly about all of them, and I’m happy to answer serious questions (when I have the emotional reserves for it, I’ve been cycling through a lot of mental health spirals lately, not worrisome bad, but definitely a lot of “I am not dealing with anything serious on tumblr today” places) and have conversations, but at the end of the day, I’m one person running a blog with the goal of entertaining myself.  I’m here for me.  Everyone should be on their own blog for themselves, you can’t light yourself on fire to keep others warm, even just virtually.

Author Interview

tagged by @kastlecastles

name: tricktster on tumblr, totalskeltetontrash on ao3

fandoms: I gotta tell you, for the author of the #1 Undertale fanfiction of all time [by certain metrics], I’m not great at being a participatory part of any fandom. 

where you post: ao3 and tumblr

most popular oneshot: Probably “In Which Capra Gets Some Bad News,” if by “popular” you mean “people get the most upset with me about it”

most popular multi-chapter fic; favorite story you’ve written; fic you were nervous to post: Since I have taken an utterly bizarre route of basically only writing one fic consisting of two books (and quite a few spinoff one-shots), the answer for all of these has to be Chill or Be Chilled. In particular book 2 of CoBC. 

how you choose your titles: 

I chose Chill or Be Chilled basically on account of laziness, because I had a really antagonistic mentality towards writing a fanfic at the beginning of creating what would end up being a 2 book, 176 chapter, 480,000 word work. It was a super low effort thought process, along the lines of “hahahha wtf dude i’m actually writing an undertale fanfic for some reason and these idiots are gonna have to read it, okay, what’s a line from undertale that I can make a halfhearted attempt to reference, kill or be killed, ok, got it, publish.” Joke’s on me, though, that’s a STUPID name that we all have to live with now. 

I spent a lot more time on chapter titles, because I could actually accomplish something with those. I wanted to establish a chapter titling convention from the beginning, and I’ve always been fond of old fashioned chapter title stylings (I.e. “in which” or “wherein”) combined with either “something that happened in the chapter that is not actually important” or “an actual lie about what happens in the chapter.” What I liked so much about that method, in particular, is the dramatic effect that straying from the convention could cause. I mean, look at these:

When I published 146, which is a weird and spooky chapter (and a definite break from a lot of the other stylistic conventions that are well established in CoBC by chapter 146), I wanted readers to feel on-edge/wondering if this was the beginning of the endgame/searching for hints or double-meanings throughout the chapter. I just checked out the comments on that chapter and screengrabbed a handful of the reactions, which are all kind of along the same lines:

As a rule, end of book/endgame chapters also got titles that were outside the normal conventions. Book 2 was fun, because there’s a miniboss and a larger boss, and I didn’t want to tip anyone off as I was publishing the miniboss chapters that a bigger fight was coming. So for BBEG1, I used thematically appropriate font names as titles, which were genuinely fun to try to find. BBEG2 represented the actual end of a lot of work and a story I’d really grown to care about, so I played it straight and used titles from the undertale OST. 

do you outline: I started out refusing to outline, because that would mean that I actually cared about what I was writing, and if I cared, that meant I couldn’t stay ironically detached from the whole thing. 

But then I gave up on being cool and instead I decided to write a time travel plot that required me to set some things up 70+ chapters before I’d write the chapter that would reveal their significance ... so yeah, I broke down and finally outlined.

 I think an outline is generally a pretty good idea, with the caveat that it’s fine to keep it as bare bones as possible. You can always add to it, but I find that the more I focus on making sure my outline is immaculate, the less I’m able to pivot on the fly when I stumble upon a smarter or more fun way to introduce a plot point.

complete: CoBC is complete, but it’s marked incomplete because, you know, bonus chapters

in progress: There’s a bonus chapter for CoBC that’s half-drafted in a Google doc somewhere. I haven’t touched it in a while, but when it comes out, I think people will be into it, insofar as they like and want to know more about Cody (who is a pretty fun OC, honestly)

coming soon/not yet started: Any part of my original work, High Fantasy, that takes us out of Farhold, and into the greater world at large. Farhold is finally starting to feel fleshed out in my own mind, so bringing an entire continent to life around it is DAUNTING

do you accept prompts: Uhhhhh you can certainly try I guess

upcoming story you are most excited to write: High Fantasy is so fun to write, and I love imagining that distant date where it’ll be finished

Thank you

I’m still feeling really sentimental so sorry about this, folks, but I need to talk about this. So feel free to ignore, I’m just being a bit of a sap.

Mental illness has always made itself known in my family. Like the saying goes, it doesn’t run; it fucking gallops.

I was a quiet kid growing up but I got even quieter during high school and even more so as I started to drift away from my social group. Little to my knowledge I was developing, or had already developed, depression and anxiety.

Happiness can be difficult to hold onto, even when you don’t suffer from mental illness. And when you do have at least one? Oof. Even harder. Speaking from experience.

But for the first time in a long time, I’m smiling on a regular basis. I still have depression. I still have anxiety. I will always have bad days. But I’m happier than I have been in a very long time. Who’d thought that writing could make feel me like this? I never knew something could make me feel this happy.

No. It has not healed me through the magic of writing and fandom. Depression is still a bitch. The world is still scary. But I’m having fun and smiling and even giggling more than ever. I’m actually hopeful. And that’s due to this show, especially bumbleby. Yes, even our fandom has its issues and flaws, just like anybody else. But you have all been so welcoming and supportive even though I’ve only just recently had the courage to stop lurking and start posting.

Others can call us as toxic as much as they want. But I can’t really find in me to care. Not when being a part of this community has made me feel so much happier than I have in while. And that’s only after, what, a week?

I don’t know how long this will last. Maybe it’s a once off wave of happiness that’ll fade out. Maybe it’ll be only until the series ends. But that’s okay. We need to find joy where we can. And right now? I’m happy writing and posting and losing my bloody mind over the bees.

Maybe I want to be happy. Maybe it’s time to just let myself just be happy. Even if it’s only for a short while.

So thank you to CRWBY for continuing to create a series that has made such a passionate fandom. For inspiring people. For allowing people to be creative with your characters.

Thank you to the voice actors who put so much life into the voices we know and love. Especially Arryn Zech whose character has helped me see that we all deserve to be happy. Even quiet, anxious introverts like me.

Thank you to the bumbleby fandom for being so kind and welcoming. The RWBY fandom can be hit or miss and there’s a lot of things that anger me. But seeing the energy that you lil bees put into your shitposts, fics and analysis is incredible and inspiring.

And thank you to Monty Oum. None of this would have happened without him. I wasn’t apart of the fandom during his time but I see the effect he had on so many on a daily basis. He was an incredible person who is still greatly missed.

Happiness can be so rare in this world, then we find it in little things like a conversation or a story, whose to say that we shouldn’t hold onto it? You deserve that happiness after all, even if you can’t see it yet. And I sincerely hope that you find it somewhere each day 💕

And at the end of the day, isn’t that what this show is about? Holding onto to that spark and never letting go of hope and love despite the apathy surrounding you?

[ambitionsource]

Thank you, that made my day i haven’t been on here a lot been really busy especially with a school work and everything else but just my heart yes i have been here so long and it always blows my mind with how long i’ve been here cause it feels like just yesterday i stumbled here they aaa and quickly fell in love with like all your writing and just i didn’t think they’re were like any rucas shippers still here or anywhere really and then i see aaa and i’m like oh my goodness someone like me and

just that was the story it just increased my love and i just i still have it to were i hey alerts anytime you update for aaa or anything else and it’ll take me maybe a minute or day if i’m sick or busy and then i just go back and reread it again after that to make sure i miss nothing and i always have fun and just thank you y’all all of a special place in my heart as well and just i love all of y’all and i always day y’all cause i’m always including the betas and other writers and everyone in :3

ugh this is so sweet!! yes it’s crazy how some of y’all really have been here since the beginning... and your comment about rl did touch a special place in my heart. obviously aaa encompasses more than that and in some ways there is a certain amount of distance between og rl and aaa rl, but i totally get what you mean about feeling like there was no community to find anymore (esp bc of how... harsh most of the og fandom was towards them for no reason, it was an incredibly toxic environment) so i am very happy to have been a beacon in a sense for you!! and as you can tell, there are plenty of people who also still quite enjoy them, it’s just quieter and smaller but that’s a-okay :)

i will never get over when people say they have updates turned on for us. that’s so crazy and super humbling (and apologies for when you get an update and it’s just me making a dumb shitpost gFDJSKGDFH). i’m glad this blog can be a safe space for so many people as we bond over something we all love!!!

On mobile, there are no readmores.

Ok, so maybe the key thing that pisses me off is that either way you dice it, the whole "evil Dirk" bullshit is either the distortion of a writer with a noted history of fanfics distorting characters into their most cynical form if not outright mischaracterizing them for an abuser/victim dynamic, or its commentary about an author who lets their own soapboxing overtake the willing suspension of disbelief in the characters' voices and the fabric of the world, rather than anything the character showed signs of being in the actual text. And if you're going to go "but timeskip! People change!" that's a hack move that Homestuck became far too dependent on in its later run, especially after the retcon, that cons the reader into doing the writer's job in order to try and resolve the cognitive dissonance of, say, a character who *actively did not want* to be what he's just suddenly become, and who's showing a level and flavor of asshole he never was.

Also, having a gay character, who a ton of young readers have identified with for years, suddenly turn bigoted alt-right-in-all-but-name just to make SURE you know he's the bad guy? Idk, that just strikes me as an asshole move. One of several asshole moves, like never addressing how the actions of one or several other characters contributed to his feeling guilty, especially about his sexuality when he's the one gay character whose orientation is directly discussed in the story proper, or how the character who can be reasonably assumed to have the a large hand in contributing to that guilt is never held to account, but instead victimized by Dirk with out-of-the-wild-blue-nowhere transphobic horseshit in the epilogue. In fact, would it be going out on a limb here to say that entire plot point seem to exist *only* for the sake of said out-of-character transphobic horseshit?

Sorry, I was about to say "but this is a whole different rant" but like, no, actually, this pisses me off. It *really* pisses me off how *badly* Dirk gets treated as the one prominent homosexual male character, and it has always pissed me off.

But no, really, the biggest thing pissing me off in the "oh this isn't rational to feel this way, actually, fuck it, I don't care if this is rational, these feelings aren't going away and this shit is PERSONAL now" way, is how most of what makes its way to my dash about Dirk since the epilogues dropped just comes off as uncritical about this. That even in trying to "fix" the damage done, it still tacitly admits there may be some validity to it, instead of staring it down and asking "and what the hell is your justification for that, outside of 'Hussie said so'?"

And let me take a moment to indulge in my neurotic impulse to hedge my own words and say, fine, ok, you want to explore evil!Dirk? Cool, your prerogative, we clearly find this character close to our hearts for very different reasons, whatever. But I don't and never want to see it and now it's everywhere, and people aren't taking to say, fascist Jane with the same gusto as they do to drag my favorite character, whose problems and insecurities are so close to my own he's the first work of fiction I've cried for for since childhood, through the mud.

Oh, and is it worse because this is basically just the same "Dirk is a monster" bullshit I've been fighting since the Great DirkJake Tag Discourse of 2014? Yes. Yes it is. I really do believe that Evil!Dirk - not "he has flaws as a person that result in toxic behavior", not "his actions have resulted in tangible harm and that needs to be addressed", but outright malicious intent or at least such utter disregard for the people he loves that intent is an automatic moot point - in other words, the ugly caricature being paraded around in the epilogues under the fig leaf of authorial approval, alongside the ugly caricatures of Jade and Jane, who only further expose the whole farce - in all its incarnations is and always has been an outright mischaracterization that only holds water if you push for deliberating interpreting the text in the most negative way. And I've spent *years* arguing with myself in my own head because fandom bullshit has convinced me that the only way I can hold an opinion and have a right to speak it is if I can have an airtight argument for my stance, like it's some fucking debate club, or something. And I am done. Dirk is not a monster, never was, and I am *done* screaming at myself in my own head instead of speaking out loud because "oh no, what if I'm wrong on the internet? What if randos online think I'm some dumb yaoi fangirl who's doing an abuse apologism?" Who cares? I know what I fucking read. I know the character that I saw.

You know what happens when you grow up isolated and don't have that first great "I wasn't fully cognizant of the fact that other people have thoughts and feelings like I do and acted like an ass and am now facing consequences - oh god I fucked up, I need to make this better somehow" young, when the stakes are low and you forget about it by puberty? You know how that childhood loneliness gives you a paralyzing fear of rejection that leaves you with a guarded persona, makes you agonize there's something wrong with you? How it makes you feel like you're irreparably broken, irreconcilably different?

I do.

So I'm confident that I know what I'm talking about when I say "it looks a lot like Dirk Strider." Coincidentally, it can also look a lot like Jake English. I know because I've been both. And you'll notice, pile of neuroses though I am, I am neither a victim nor am I a monster.

So. Yeah. Evil!Dirk upsets me greatly and always has and I don't want to see it. Except now it's everywhere and I once again have to tread lightly if I want to find any content of him that isn't made directly by me. A thing I loved has become something that makes me feel feelings that suck. *Again!* And I don't have the time or energy to throw into counteracting it at the moment, unlike with TLCstuck and the retcon a few years back. And yeah, this is personal and no one is responsible for my feelings and emotional wellbeing but me, yes, yes. But also this is my blog and I get to pick what goes on it and this is me telling myself "to hell with what people think when they see it, it's Tumblr, this is the house that personal emotional-fueled discourse built", and also if I didn't get this out I'd kind of end up screaming about it in my head again until all I can articulate is a high-pitched screech? I just need to fucking vent this out so I can get on with my goddamn day and it's out of my head? So maybe it'll quit coming back? It's way too fucking early for this? And oops, this post got way too long and a lot more emotional than I was expecting. Hey, crying helps relieve stress, y'know (Note: I'm not actually crying, it's the principle of the thing).

tl;dr, I have always thought Evil!Dirk was bullshit but it still hurts to see, and while I know I have no reason to bear a grudge against the people writing it as people, on principle, there's a part of me that wants to fucking punch those responsible for putting it back in the fandom consciousness in such a big way? Especially when I'm not seeing anyone pick over the horseshit done to other characters in quite the same way.

That is all. Carry on, I've vented my spleen. I'm gonna toss this post to the wind and go back to Wolf 359 shitposting.
