I'm curious, do ppl hate Love Never Dies because they think Eristine is problematic and it's made canon in it, or is it due to something else? I havent watched it yet or anything but i like the vibes, lol

Heh... Love Never Dies has always been controversial at the very least? It came out at a time where Erik/Christine was still the most popular ship in the phandom - it still is, by the way. That didn't change despite a clear shift in fandom and ""problematic content"" around 2013, so a good 3 years after the musical came out. If anything, Raoul/Christine shippers have been a minority for most of the phandom's history, and both sides of the debate at some point more or less decided to agree to disagree (I mean, the homophobic slurs Raoul would get at times were starting to REALLY be in poor taste), except on the point that without the love triangle, there wouldn't be much of a story, and there are various ways of interpreting said love triangle. So, quite frankly, I don't understand why some people on either side are trying to restart discourse in the POTO fandom but I digress. And look, if you see people in the tags saying that Erik/Christine is problematic, they're probably new, and not really representative of the phandom at large. Anything having to do with Sierra Boggess is more controversial.

I really don't think the controversy stems from it making Erik and Christine bang and have a love child - I know there are some people who are against the idea of any kind of sequel, in fanfic form or otherwise, for a variety of reasons, but most of them were being responsible adults about it and didn't actively seek fanfic. As I mentioned before, a lot of folks were Erik/Christine shippers and thought that Christine was more into the Phantom than into Raoul, that's nothing new. But a lot of them also had issues with how LND dealt with it, for several reasons. It didn't come from an "anti" sentiment, it was very much them having issues with the material that was presented to them.

Raphael/phantoonsoftheopera (who is a long time fan of POTO) goes into more detail here and I think he sums up a lot of phans' thoughts back in 2010 when LND came out (whether they shipped the Phantom and Christine or not), and I think @musicalhell is another one who was also around at the time (feel free to pop in, and hope I'm not bothering you with the tag).

As for the rest, I wish I could defend ALW's choices here in the same way I'd defend Lana Wachowski for Matrix Resurrections - i.e. you're allowed to not like it but this is this creator's baby and they're allowed to do whatever they want with it, so let's all respect art for the sake of art here. But LND is very much a vanity project, as ALW has proven multiple times, that is mean-spirited to its core in various ways. For my fellow SW fans, it's the TROS to POTO'S TLJ. The cast and crew were treated in a really shitty way back in the original London production days, same with critics of the show, and there was even a case where a journalist and long time phan who provided a critical review of LND was demeaned in an article as some sort of sad housewife who was obsessed with POTO. Mind you, ALW has tried to make LND work FOR YEARS, with various productions and tours opening here and there, but it always underperforms. And mind you, the Eristine crowd is still hanging around, and POTO is doing extremely well whereever it goes to this day. If the Eristine content was good, the crowds would follow, "problématique" posts and tweets or not. They aren't there.

Genuine question, since you seem to be a prolific Superbat enthusiastic. Why do so many Superbat fans disrespect Clark so much? 🤷‍♀️

Whenever I see Superbat posts in the Clark/Superman tag most of them ignore his history, his trauma, personality, his family/friends/allies [Lois, his parents, other Justice League members, Jimmy, Kara, Perry, John Henry, Pete, Steve, Cat and etc] his city, his children, [Conner, Chris, Mia, and Jon] and mythos.

It seems people are only interested in Bruce's character and his family. Also, most Superbat fans strike me as being an odd combination of being homophobic, heteronormative, and misogynistic and sometimes even abusive! Very crazy combo, but that's how it seems to me from looking at the majority of works.

For example, people typically make Bruce the bottom or feminine one. When realistically they would be switches. Yet, overwhelmingly all the work is dedicated to "Brucie Wanye." Even though most of the time his true personality is a cold, macho, caring man. Heck, I see Clark being more the bottom type, since he's a very loving partner, and he enjoys being taken care of. You know he's definitely getting pegged by Lois.

Which brings me to the lack of care towards Lois, where she is either villainized or not made to be an important person in Clark's live. Regardless of ships and platonic/romantic feelings, Lois is Clark's closest friend. Yet, none of that is rarely displaced in fanart, headcanons, and fics. Yet, Bruce's people are always made sure to be included.

Also, what's with the influx of evil Superman and poor innocent babyboy Batman. Look I like some dark tropes too, and I wouldn't mind so much if we at least kept the same treatment with both parties. Instead of only favoring one person.

It's deeply upsetting and disturbing to see the kindest original hero immigrant aka the champion of the oppressed. To be used for such weird, oc, fetishistic works. Again, it's odd to due Batman having so much privilege and is known for being very controlling, yet it's never displayed in these darker takes. Batman is a good man, but can have troubling qualities, as all good characters have. Clark has his darker attributes too, but that’s okay as long as it presented fairly.

Lastly, Clark and Bruce have a close friendship. Yet, again I see no one making art/fics about Clark's other close relationships. But, everyone seems to be a huge fan of being a multishipper for Bruce. Example being Selina, Talia, Joker, Harvey, Ghostmaker, Hal, Barry, Arthur, Diana, and etc. Seems to be to be a bit biased no, for fans that claim to love Clark and ship Superbat have no problem doing this for Bruce.

Where's the love for other Clark ships like Lois, Lana, Lex, John Corben, Brainiac 5, Hal, Arthur, Diana, Barry, Maxima, Volcana, Blanque, and etc.

Also, it's not really special that Clark recognizes Bruce's heartbeat as the go to Superbat trope. He does that with everyone like again to list Lois, his parents, his children, his villains, his friends both in the Justice League, at the Daily Planet, and in Smallville. Heck, he's even given Jimmy his own personal watch to call him!

Sorry, this is a lot. I didn't mean to type so much, but I didn't want to use multiple asks. I also want you to know I'm not attacking you personally. Some of the text posts and art I looked up on your blog are awesome! ❤️ Keep up the good work! I just sincerely want to know why there's such a strong bias in Superbat. I personally, do like the pairing as long as they are both treated like equals.  

Thank you, for reading this and have a great day! 🌟 

Ok uhhh wow this one is a lot. I’ll break it down under the cut.

But first lemme say that thanks for complimenting my blog! Glad you are enjoying it. But for future reference, if you want to complain about something you don't really like about a ship or fandom maybe consider making your own post about it. Cus I know your intentions were good but going to a superbat blog and saying “this is everything I dislike about superbat!!” comes off pretty rude. I could stop there but I’ll address your questions/points because why not and I’m a glutton for punishment,,

So first off, and this is what I’m gonna end up repeating throughout this post, I understand your frustration at parts of Clark's mythos not being explored more in superbat fic/art but a lot of what it comes down is just that uh. Some people know more about batman mythos! And some people know more about superman mythos! It doesn’t really mean that they like/respect one character more than the other.. people are just interested in different comics lol. For example I rely a lot on my wonderful superman mutuals (hello @/blorb-el :] ) for info about Clark and his lore because I just haven’t read as many superman comics.. doesn’t mean I like Clark less. Just means I like sci-fi less…

As for this I have no idea what most of it means lol but like I said, telling a blog that you know likes superbat that superbat fans are “homophobic and abusive” is pretty rude for obvious reasons…

Now uh there’s a lot to unpack with this lol. Long story short, top/bottom preferences dont really have anything to do with personality. And as for “realistically they’d switch” yeah I personally see them as switches too! But there’s no “correct” way of imagining how a fictional character has gay sex lol. People are just gonna have their preferences for what they like to see and most of the times they dont have/need a specific reason for them. Also: this is gonna be a big theme when it comes to my response to you because my advice? Utilize tags. Cus uh if you check the tags for “bottom Clark” and “bottom Bruce” in the superbat tag on ao3 -

There isn’t exactly a dearth of bottom Clark works. There’s plenty great ones out there 

As for this, some of it is going to be because ppl maybe dont know as much about Lois as they do other characters, and some of it is yeah misogyny lol I won’t lie to you. But to be honest I haven’t seen any Lois bashing in fics or fanwork since like the mid 2010s. So I cant tell if this complaint is in good faith or not. Either way I still dont know why you’re telling it to me..

Lmao this one. First rule of fandom is that people are going to write weird, ooc fetishistic fics purely for the sake of writing weird, ooc fetishistic fics. Its fanfiction, its not like they’re official DC stories - they dont have to be accurate. I understand your frustration if you’re seeing a dynamic you dont like a lot but, again, I would advise you to utilize tagging + filtering to your advantage. The reality of fandom is you’re going to see interpretations of a character that you don’t like. And what you do is simply don’t read what you don’t like. Its not always that deep. 

Again! You just! Have! To look! For creators! That are more into! Superman comics! (@/sully-s has a lot of cute Jimmy + Lois/Clois art if you’re interested) Like I’m not a Batman multishipper because I want to personally spite Clark Kent, I’m a Batman multishipper because I’ve read a LOT of Batman comics lol. Like I’m gonna level with you I have no idea who John Corben or Blanque or Volcana even are. But I know there are probably plenty of people who ship superbat who have no idea who Minhkhoa Khan or Silver St. Cloud or Andrea Beaumont are!! And that doesn’t mean they hate Bruce it just means they don’t feel like reading 80 years of Batman comics which!! Is fair!!

As for this part I dont have any advice or suggestions this is just rude. “Hey that popular trope you like is stupid!” Ok! You’re allowed to think that, I get it honestly. But, again, I don’t know why you felt the need to send that opinion to a blog that you know likes superbat. Like its not exactly a question, its just something you dont like lol

In conclusion my advice is: use filtering! use tagging! If you’re good at searching for stuff you can pretty consistently avoid ships/dynamics you dont like! I do this all the time. And for next time, maybe remember that fandom isn’t curated to your personal tastes automatically - you have to curate it yourself, and thats no one else’s job but your own.

and the finished product. a redraw of this piece from three years ago.

-

"It seems introductions are in order." Lana states, stepping out of the metaphorical and literal shadows with their red-jacketed savior a few steps behind. Zanya shifts her weight back to her uninjured foot, taking stock of her surroundings. Beniko had lead her into a trap, whether knowingly or unknowingly and now there's a Republic spy with her. Considering the rest of her company, she wonders how long she had her working in tandem with the opposite faction. She catches the gaze of the cerulean eyed Jedi to her right, long enough to get a sense of her Force Signature.

Closed off, yet hiding something that simmers just below the surface. Pulsating, as if daring for her to seek it out. Reaching out does little, but Zanya can't help but feel like she's felt her somewhere before. Somewhere deep in the recesses of her mind she recognizes the feeling, just barely.

Fascinating.

The Jedi knows she's staring. Feels her, maybe. She averts her eyes, just as she turns her head to look at her.

"Master Qelu, glad you're back in one piece."

Shards of Glass

Intended to post this when I eventually finished and published the Citadel arc of Redamancy, but wrote it instead of actually working on aforementioned arc.

The Citadel Coup's aftermath from the perspective of one Priana T'Lara, and how she spends the night with a certain Mason Shepard.

General warnings for mentions of injury, blood, and a minor panic attack at the end from the protagonist.

-

"Thirsty?"

Priana glances up over her shoulder from where she sits on the balcony, surprised to see her partner with two cups in hand emerging from the dim light of his apartment, along with a medical kit in the other. Unlike her, he'd dressed out of his uniform, hair tied back from his face and donning a t-shirt and sweats. He's barefoot, unafraid of the possible glass spray on his floor -- or maybe too tired to care. She nods wordlessly, taking one of them from him while rolling her sleeves up.

There's still smoke billowing out from levels beneath them, hours after the invasion had ended. Fires probably, still burning. The Presidium's a wreck. The Wards are a wreck. People are dead. Co-workers are dead. Her friends are dead. Her apartment is shot to hell, and nothing is working right. Nothing quite feels real, and she sips down the glass of water faster than she should. She has sixty billion questions fumbling around in her mind, but she can't muster up the strength to rationalize it all. Likely they'll get the botched report within the next few days, with as many redactions as she has years on her.

She wonders who the hell got paid off to make all this happen.

Her eyes are drawn to her partner as he sits down next to her, Mason's got a nasty gash down the length of his exposed arm, and she winces when she sees the bloodied bandage around his forearm. It's carefully wrapped up in gauze by now, but it'd still been ugly when one of the C-Sec meds had to do it for him before rushing off to the next officer who'd been hurt during the invasion.

One of the many mistakes she'd made today, and the one she regrets the most.

"How're you holding up?" He asks, unlatching the clips on the kit. She shrugs. As well as she could be doing. She feels like an elcor is sitting on her chest and she may as well be drowning in the Presidium pools with how heavy her head feels.

The painkillers the apologetic asari had given to her earlier hadn't worked nearly as well as she thought they would.

Still, she gives a half sarcastic smile to the human beside her. He has bigger problems right now, and one of them shouldn't be her passive aggressive nature. Shouldn't be her guilt weighing on his conscience.

Asari were presumably naturally unemotional once they got older. So many years meant they saw people die. Meant they understood that life was fleeting for other races. Meant they grew desensitized over the years that events like this rarely affected them unless it directly hurt their own.

Her's hadn't gotten the memo, because no matter how much she tries to distance herself from the incident, she can't help but get angry all over again. With herself, with citadel security, with Cerberus...it feels like she's about to burst. It didn't matter that there were humans who weren't going home tonight, it didn't matter more that there were turians who were unlikely to check in alongside her tomorrow. All of it felt like death, tearing away at her and leaving her raw.

She'd never been through something like this. Never seen all this destruction and death up close.

It hurts.

It's not supposed to hurt.

"We don't have to be back on duty until later afternoon tomorrow. Injuries and all." He pulls out the rubbing alcohol, tentatively reaching over to her own knuckles. At first she wants to pull away, she's not a child, she can clean her own wounds, but she figures it's equally childish not to let the man do his own job. She gestures for him to take it, and he does, "Bailey's scrambling to get enough officers on duty to flush any remaining Cerberus agents out, but he's brought in outside help where he can. The worst of it's over for now."

She bites her lip, the alcohol burning at her half healed skin. It fuzzes up, turning white as Mason gently dabs at each tear. From stray gunshots, torn right through her gloves before she could toss the offending enemies away. They weren't deep enough to scar for too many years, likely they wouldn't even be there by her tricentennial.

At least her blood had stopped oozing out of it. It'd stained her uniform in multiple places, and made her dizzy with how much she's pretty sure she lost in the fights down in the Wards. Her worse injuries were wrapped at the remains of Huerta, and she'd been sent off with antibiotics and enough painkillers to probably kill a Quarian.

Mason looks worse for wear. Humans always did, so injury prone, so delicate and fleshy. Most were a map of scars in her line of work, and he was no exception. A cut above his eye, one underneath the other. Likely her shields had protected him from anything potentially fatal, but her heart still seizes up at the gauze.

His gaze follows her's, and he sighs, pulling out his own roll to wrap around her hand, "You know T'Lara, humans are sturdier than you think."

"I know." She answers quietly. Scarily so. Almost every organ in their body could be replaced, and they bounced back extremely fast. Broken bones were no problem for them, skin could grow back faster than she thought possible and they did it all within a handful of years.

Usually she wouldn't fret. She'd had human companions before, but Mason is the anomaly.

She feels like she failed him, and it's eating at her.

She hates feeling weak. Exposed. Vulnerable. Hates feeling like this.

"That wasn't your fault." He says, uncapping the ointment and carefully applying it before rolling the fabric out, almost as if he's read her mind, "It'll heal."

Two minutes too long. She'd been stripped of her shields, her own blood dribbling down her chin from her nose and a rolled ankle making it difficult to gain any ground.

Happy Year In Review 2021!!

I've certainly lived in interesting times and here's my eventual result of that. (Can't believe it's already been a year -- 2020)

WORD COUNT:

This year I wrote a total of 127,820 words (92,789 published, 35,031 unpublished). Honestly I'm a little disappointed, I thought I did more than that. Given, it's 2021, the year of crises left and right, but...yeesh. That's less than I did back in 2019. In like, two or three months.

Most of the year was out of my control though, and I'm still standing. I count it as a win.

The Breakdown:

My Mass Effect works took up about 3/4s of the actual word count, at 112,020 words written (and 22,934 unpublished, along with most of what I haven't released for Redamancy yet). My goal this year was to finish Redamancy but it had other ideas, so I'm maybe halfway through actually finishing it? That could be another year.

My Arcane works (what a surprise), are all still unpublished with posting dates being sometime in early 2021. However, they're 12,097 words by themselves so far, so it's okay. I didn't expect to end up writing for League anytime soon, but here we are.

My singular Dragon Age work this year was Bones, which was 1,879 words. Not surprised I didn't have more, it's Dragon Age. That and I lost all of the games when my account was hacked earlier in the year. Not a lot of motivation to write for this fandom.

My singular Mind Blind work this year was "Do It For Them", which was 1,824 words. It's been a while since I've really interacted with the IF fandom, so that's pretty unsurprising.

New Things I Tried:

Not much I don't think? Redamancy has actually been beta'd, every single chapter currently published has had a second pair of eyes over it (which is such a big help, you'd never notice how many misspellings you miss yourself), but beyond that I didn't really have the time or mental energy to do much else. EXCEPT for starting to write for Arcane. Never thought I'd do anything relating to League.

(God I hate the culture around League so much.)

Favorite Thing I Wrote This Year:

Probably Letters Home? Not super sure why but it is one of the few times I've genuinely liked something I wrote mainly in a non-OC's perspective. It's a working point for Joker and Citlali, which are two characters I hesitate to write together for whatever reason.

(That and it's criminal how Tiptree and Joker's feelings related to it are just swept under the rug -- it's criminal!)

Favorite Fic I Read This Year:

@ljandersen's Sideways. Easily one of my favorites (even if I'm still behind a handful of chapters -- and mentioned it last year), just for the characterization alone. I absolutely love how their Kaidan(s) and Shepard(s) interact with each other, and the little details that turn out to be bigger than anyone would've guessed. I absolutely adore the ever-growing future that they've weaved into the story, as well as how they expanded the Mass Effect universe into something all their own. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the rest of the story goes.

@shockdowndefiance's A Momentary Lapse In Judgement. Though I really loved just about every work in their library (Allison Shepard my beloved) this one really stuck with me because it really examined the coup for what it was logically and what Bioware couldn't quite do, especially for a Kaidanmancing Shepard. Allison's universe extends Mass Effect something emotionally compelling, and this fic is probably one of the best examples of that. I still absolutely love how they resolved it, as well as how Allison's character really shines through here, both as Commander Shepard as well as -- well, a regular human being. It's painful at times, but also terribly comforting.

@swaps55's Sonata. I'm such a sucker for in-between moment Mass Effect stories, especially Shenko centered ones. Sam Shepard is such a compelling character, and his relationship with Kaidan is certainly one that makes you so very mushy on the inside. Swaps' writing style is something that'll suck you in and never quite let you go, and their attention to detail is something to be admired. (Which is why I was up until the middle of the night finishing it -- definitely worth the read!)

& (last but definitely not least)

@lyrishadow's Between Times. I still read it time to time just because it makes me happy and amuses me greatly. It was a birthday gift from them to me and it still makes me really happy. I really love how they weaved both of our Shepards together to write something so nice, and how they took the time out of their life to do it.

Writing Goals For 2022

Be less on myself about writing. I was genuinely feeling so guilty and completely paralyzed out of having any fun the entire months of October, November and December just because I hadn't gotten any substantial writing done. Which shouldn't be how I feel, writing is a hobby of mine. Just because I was more likely to reach for my stylus or even one of my games than I was my bookmark for my longfic doesn't mean I'm a failure, even if I would've liked to see more progress. I mean, hell I'm a high school student who's about to graduate in a couple months -- you'd think I'd be able to afford myself the same grace I give my peers.

(It's the validation. I live off of it. I shouldn't, but I do.)

Word Of Thanks

Thanking the lovely Lock + Key writers because you guys are lovely people, (@delinquest , @glyndwrwrites , @lnewmanwrites , @tayareum , @thesupremepuff + @colonelpknight [can't tag you]) thank you for going on such a wild ride with me this year, its been so freaking fun working with you all!

The lovely @mallaidhsomo for their contributions to Redamancy and all of the useful advice they've provided me with. Along with the rest of the Bioware Fanfiction server, I might not interact much but its a very comforting place to be. <3

@that-wasnt-so-bad + @kaidans-alenkos + @mariaalenkoshepard + @actualanxiousswampwitch + @oakstar519 for being the people I always love seeing in my notifs and inbox, and the people who always have the best headcanons for the canon characters and their own.

@sheyshen + @greencrusader13 + @anchanted-one + @naaklasolus for always being there to listen to my rambly nonsense in our development channel. And responding with your own OCs because I love them very much.

Conner is dressed up like the Robinson sibling that flies, but Kara is the one who can actually fly between the two of them. Ironic, isn’t it?

You guys get a 2-for-1 deal today! I’d normally release these character posts as I go (which is why they end up being shared one-at-a-time), but I had both Kara and Conner ready to go, so why not upload both at the same time?

I’ve had the biggest urge to draw this scene with Radioheads ever since I saw this post by @honeypixx over a month ago

(Btw, this isn’t the scene OP described, but the moment during the “Crazier Than You” number when Lucas convinces Wednesday to blindly shoot an apple off his head; I couldn’t figure out how to draw “One Normal Night” so I went with this instead)

💘

Happy Halloween, from their family to yours! 🎃🚀

As promised, here’s the finished version of my Meet the Kents project! I actually came up with this idea along with last year’s WFV project, but I didn’t have time to make them both simultaneously. Fortunately, I finally managed to complete this piece, and I’m very happy with how it turned out! I hope you guys like it, too, and I hope that everyone who celebrates Halloween (and those who don’t) has a good day!

Please don’t steal/repost this anywhere!

(Here are the solo shots of the superfamily!)

My #1 post of 2022

What doesn’t kill you, will make you stronger…

Okay, so here’s the context behind this piece: this whole thing began when I came across Matt Ryan Tobin’s alternative poster for the 1985 horror movie “Silver Bullet”, which (surprise, surprise) is about a werewolf killing a bunch of people

I thought this poster was so cool (much better than the actual poster, imo), and bc I was suffering from The Quarry brainrot for a couple of weeks at that point, I thought “hey, this would be pretty cool if it was The Quarry themed”

And so, I sat down and began drawing immediately. Nearly a month later, this project could finally be deemed finished! I couldn’t share this on August 22nd like I originally planned, so I figured the next best time would be on Halloween

I had a lot of fun recreating this awesome movie poster, and I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do!

🔥

2012 COLLAB.

STATUS: ACCEPTING CREATORS. JOIN NOW!

Hey y’all! To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Haikyuu!! and my 21st birthday, I’m hosting my first open collab for anyone to join! 

This collab is open to both writers and artists, and I’m really looking forward to seeing all the fun works that everyone creates!

Theme: Anything and everything 2012! From the rise of One Direction, to the fall of the Capitol in The Hunger Games; from Taylor Swift’s monumental Red album, to the end of the world on December 21, 2012— the possibilities are endless. Pick your favorite iconic moment, novel, song, film, or pop culture reference from this year to rewrite our favorites in!

Fandoms: Haikyuu!!, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer

Rules:

You must be 18+ to join! Please have your age visible on your blog; ageless blogs will not be allowed to join and minors will be blocked.

SFW/NSFW/DC are all allowed! Just please be sure to tag warnings as necessary.

All characters must be canonically 18+ or aged up. No exceptions.

All writing is accepted (headcanons, drabbles, oneshots, fics, series, etc). There is no required word limit; however, please try to write at least 500 words!

To join, send me an ask or a DM, including which character(s) you are writing for, your preferred reader (M, F, GN), and the novel/song/film/moment/etc you are basing your work on. Last day to join will be April 1, 2022.

Each writer can sign up for only one work at a time; I want this to be a fun and low-stress collab! Should you finish and want to write another, you are welcome to sign up again.

There are no limits to how many times a character or AU/trope can be claimed. However, a combination cannot be repeated twice. For example, if Writer A is writing for Atsumu in a zombie apocalypse AU (The Walking Dead video game), Writer B cannot write for him in this trope as well. However, Writer B can sign up to write for a different character in a zombie apocalypse AU or for Atsumu in a different AU.

Threesomes/poly relationships are accepted! 

Please reblog this post after you sign up!

When your work is posted, please tag me or send it to me in my inbox. Please also use the tag #dice.2012 on your submission!

Notes: If you have any questions regarding the technicalities of the collab, need help fleshing out an idea, or just want to know if the trope you want to write for qualifies for the collab, do not hesitate to reach out to me! I’m glad to help!

Due Date: April 23 (my 21st birthday!), but this is not a hard deadline. If you need more time, let me know!

Need a refresher of 2012? Here are just a few iconic moments from that year, plus examples of potential works based on these original works and moments! (Note: These are merely suggestions; your works can have a similar (but not exact) plot to the original piece or it can just be loosely based on the original. Additionally, you can just take an aspect, concept, line, or vibe from the original and create something based on that. It’s really up to you!)

About

Hi hello I'm the OP of the pastel bi colors customized N64! For any future custom consoles, controllers, & whatever else I make, please check out my art blog: @little-artworks

For those asking for a tutorial or my process in painting the N64, please go here for a breakdown of my process!

We're the Star Cluster, a plural group (or system) of well over 30 - possibly an infinite number. We have no introjects. We are origin-agnostic.

We and our partner cluster (the Sol Cluster, tagged below) make up the Galaxy Collective. Our two clusters consider ourselves a collective due to a lot of overlap.

A few things about us/this blog:

We are bodily adult (in our 30s).

We reblog some syscourse on occasion (not frequently), & are VERY pro-endogenic & pro-tulpa.

Please don't send us syscourse.

We are anti-harassment & anti-doxxing.

We are VERY pro-trans & anti-terf.

If we reblog something that bothers you or makes you uncomfortable, please don't dm us about it (EXCEPT IF IT'S TERF-Y then absolutely please let us know bc we want no part in that bs & us reblogging it was absolutely an accident). You may unfollow or block if you need to - no hard feelings.

We prefer not to dm if we don't know you well/at all. DMs from complete strangers or people who have only been mutuals for a very short time may go unanswered or may result in a block (unless you have something interesting to share or an important reason for dming us).

Now that that's over with...most of us sign off with emojis. List of common fronters & their pronouns & emojis, as well as additional info on our partner system & sideblogs below the cut.

(Below image by @paws-in-yo-maws )

Common fronters:

🥁 Noé (he/him)

🎃 Shadow (she/her)

🌸 Blythe

☠ Pyri (she/her)

🧁 Zoe (she/her)

🍑 Aislinn (she/her)

🍤 Emiko (she/her)

🐈‍⬛ Gwen (she/her)

🔥 Dawn (she/her)

🌊 Blue (she/her)

🌈 Ceris (he/they)

Sideblogs

@mechanical-briide - Brooke's blog (her pinned post speaks for itself)

@binbins-paradise - beanbon's blog; beanbon is a little so all sfw cute stuff

@astrolo-z - Zoe's astrology blog

@galaxygoths - Galaxy Collective goth kids' blog (this includes Shadow, Aurora, & Kiana from the Star Cluster, & Draven, Hemlocke, & Ambrose from the Sol Cluster)

Partner system

@thelucentsolarium - the Sol Cluster - is our partner cluster & has been since the very early 00s (and the other part of the Galaxy Collective). Here are a couple of their sideblogs, which are AWESOME (we highly recommend giving them a follow):

@declan-rates-trees - Declan's blog; exactly what it says on the tin (& hilariously sassy)!

@gloom-in-remission - Lana's blog; lots of lesbian/queer/activist goodness 💕

Hi my name is Lina and I don't know how to be alive, sorry.

× Depressed on Main. But like, in a fun way.

× Pet blogging, artsy stuff, thoughts from the void and journal entrees.

× Boringly cis and straight. I make up for it by being terrified of going outside and (normal) intimacy.

× Leftist because I'm brown and a woman. Pro-choice. Pro-abortion even. Not good with religion. I won't care for a god, they certainly never did for me.

× Fandoms don't consume my every being anymore & I kinda miss it. Was never that much into shipping, generally won't interact with it.

[!] Stop using cute little orphans as family building tools for your not-canon lgbtq+ ships, please & thank you.

× Adoption Critical. Realising adoption really isn't as good as it seemed and how non-adoptees really shouldn't be allowed to make decisions about us/ for us.

Adoptees are not produce for you to consume.

Family preservation over family separation and a lifelong feeling of abandonment and grief.

Get to know the blogger

Tagged by @sithwarblade

I never know who to tag so if you want to do this consider yourself tagged by me.

1. Why did you choose your URL?

I wanted something easily recognizable as SWTOR related and I was in the middle of a massive Theron Shan hyperobession and here we are.

2. Any sideblogs?

@meanbihexual is all of my random, trying not to clog my swtor blog with non-swtor stuff sideblog I made just recently, but who knows how long that will last before I get tired of switching back and forth.

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

Oh. Um. A long time. Intermittently, though.

4. When did you originally create this blog?

This one is from 2017 I think. Or maybe 2016?

5. Why did you choose your icon?

Because @commander-sarahs-art 's portrait of Safi was too good not to use.

6. Why did you choose your header?

Lizard brain said, "pretty"

7. Which post has the most notes?

I think the one where Lana offers to sleep with Safi as revenge for Theron's whole cult episode but warns her she expects to be courted properly. I might be wrong, but I'm honestly too lazy to look.

8. How many mutuals do you have?

60 ish

9. How many followers?

Uh 175 ish, I think. I haven't looked in a while

10. How many blogs do you follow?

Like 250. I'm a slut (affectionate)

11. Have you ever made a shit post?

Oh yeah

12. How often do you use Tumblr?

Every few days ish. Sometimes every day, sometimes every other. Depends on my work schedule and how much my body hates me, too.

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

I do what I want.

14. Have you ever fought another blog?

Nope. I'm your typical, mid-millenial, totally burnt out, former gifted child who thinks taking up no space, being as people pleasing as possible, and self-sacrificing to avoid any discomfort on the part of others is the only way to be a good person.

Alternatively, I will fight a bitch on behalf of someone else, but that hasn't been necessary so far on the hellsite.

15. How do you feel about Tag games?

Love them

16. Ask games?

Those, too

17. Any Tumblr famous mutuals?

I have some pretty well known SWTOR ones but that's it

18. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

@sithwarblade is my wife, so

New Random Questions

I was tagged by the lovely @downtoclown-around 🥰 thank you dear!

Ok, here we go!

Name/Nickname?

Katherine/Katie/Kate

If you could bring any two fictional characters into the same world, who would they be, which world would you put them in, and what would their relationship to each other be?

I would like to see Heath Ledger's Joker with L from Death Note (yes, I'm still Death Note trash in 2020 lmao). And I would put J in the DN universe because although I doubt he would ever use a death note (too impersonal of a way to kill), I REALLY wanna see him interact with the shinigami lol.

Their relationship could go one of two ways: either L is hunting J down, with J skillfully avoiding arrest and giving L a run for his money.

OR, in some extremely convoluted circumstance, they end up working together to catch Kira. L is known to hire talented criminals when the need arises, and I feel like J could bring a very unique skillset to the task force. And I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they come to work one day and there's this feral clown man parading through the HQ like he owns the place 😂

If you could drop yourself into any fictional world, which would it be?

I would drop myself into the Joker 2019 universe and land right on Arthur's dick where I belong 😂😂😂

Either that one or Animal Crossing, lmao

What's your spirit animal?

My spirit animal is the pangolin. Because it's smol. And it always walks around like it's timidly looking for the only person it knows at a house party because they abandoned it to go to the bathroom and haven't come back yet

What is the most unpopular opinion you have?

UMMMM🅱️ I guess it's that I really don't want a Joker sequel??? I feel like the story is complete and adding on to it is a big risk, yknow? Idk, I just think one of the movie's biggest strengths is its ability to stand alone, separate from the rest of the DCEU

How do you like to style your hair?

I usually just curl it and wear it down, especially when it's long. I put it up in a ponytail when it's hot or when I'm too lazy to wash it lol. It's naturally very dark brown, but I dyed it blonde a few months ago. Probably gonna go back to natural though

What three books would you want on a deserted island?

Lord of the Flies by William Golding (ironic lol), The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and ummmm House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

Something new you've learned in quarantine?

Well, I've been using the extra time to sharpen my piano skills, so I guess that counts?

Favorite alcoholic drink?

Long Island iced tea, especially the way they make it at The Cheesecake Factory 🥰 I'm very tiny though, so one is always enough to knock me on my ass lmao

Music you can't stand? Music you love?

LORD HERE WE GO!! ok so I have a degree in music so I've studied a lot of SHIT music in my life lol. Here are a couple examples:

• There was this composer named Conlon Nancarrow who wrote pieces for player piano using ridiculous patterns and time signatures. Take a listen if you ever want a headache, I'm serious.

• Anything by Bela Bartok ffs

• All country music, but I'll make an exception for Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood lol

As for music I LOVE:

• My favorite piece of all time is Claude Debussy's "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" (it's originally for piano, but listen to the Sakura Cello Quintet version, it's FUCKING BEAUTIFUL)

• Second favorite piece is Mozart's Lacrymosa, the final piece of his requiem

• A really cool avant garde piece by R. Murray Schafer called Epitaph for Moonlight (here's a link to a video where you can listen to it and follow along at the same time. The notation blows my fuckin mind https://youtu.be/dzUXzu7JYFc)

• The Mountain Goats is my current favorite band, John Darnielle is a master lyricist HOOO

• I'm also partial to both Lana del Rey and Post Malone 🥰

Have a favorite herb?

Oregano, cause I'm always a slut for pizza

What kind of cups/glasses/bottles do you prefer to drink out of?

My bf and I collect fandom mugs for Animal Crossing, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, etc lol

Preferred mode of communication: text, calls, emails, letters?

Text or email. Phone calls give me anxiety lol. And I've only written like five letters in my life lmao

What's your favorite weather?

Cold, drizzly, misty. And I live in the south USA so I almost never get it 🙃🙃🙃

What kind of lighting do you like?

Oooh fairy lights are so pretty 🥰 but I also love the moonlight

What is the best thing you cook?

I make a killer fried rice, and great spaghetti and meatballs. But typically, I'm WAY better at baking, I used to wanna be on shows like Cake Boss when I was little lmao

Do you have a favorite font?

Times New Roman because I'm boring lol

What is something you've always wanted to write in a fic, but you've been too afraid to? Or what's something you were afraid to write, but you did and it turned out awesome?

There's not really anything I'm AFRAID to write. It's more a matter of wanting to do certain topics justice (various mental illnesses, addictions, suicidal ideation, etc.) and needing to do proper research first. The fear doesn't come until it's time to post lol.

Likewise, I was extremely afraid to start posting "They're Funny That Way", but the reception I've gotten so far has made me so happy, and I'm so excited to keep going with it 🥰

If you were in your favorite fantasy world, what would be your weapon of choice?

I'd wanna be a pokemon trainer, and I'd have either a Froslass or a Zoroark

Is there a commonly used expression/saying that you can't stand?

Straight women calling platonic female friends "girlfriends" 🙄

What's something you'd like people to know about you?

• I'm a professional opera singer, but I'm also heavily trained in musical theatre

• I have a cat named Aria

• I'm fluent in both English and French, and I also know a little Spanish, German, Italian, and Japanese 😁

So there you have it! Thanks again to @downtoclown-around for tagging me, this was so much fun! If you've already done it, ignore this, but I'd like to tag @mr--clown @impulsiveclown @starksclown @art-hurfleck @lilredelf and anyone else who would like to do it!!

Love,

Kate ❤

[myswtorchildren]

I got tagged by @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond, thank you! :3

The rules are simple: pick an OC, and then answer these interview questions in-character for them. Then tag five more people to keep it going!

I’m tagging @chubbyooo, @a-muirehen, @darthsiha, @darthakaliae.

Why did I choose Wetta? Because this is my first drawing of her and I’m pretty proud of it (even though it looks like a crime against digital art)! This is taken after all of the story so far, helping the Alliance under Xal’s command.

1. What is your name?

Wettanda Nüx.

2. Do you know why are you named that?

I don’t know. I don’t know my parents, but they left a note with this name on it, so... Yeah.

3. Are you single or taken?

I am FINALLY married to Theron. I just... Love him. He helped me through some stuff.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

Well, obviously my Force powers. It can be used in many different ways... Also, I have a very, very rare power. I can practically suck the life force out from any living creature, just by looking into its eye. Yeah, I don’t have real eyes, but it still works. This is why I wear a blindfold.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

I- I don’t know what is that? Would you care to tell me?

6. What’s your eye color?

Well, I don’t have eyes. So, no-color?

7. How about your hair color?

It was originally white, but I’ve been dying it black for a while now... White hair is a part of my past which I would rather forget.

8. Have any family members?

Oh, yeah. See, the Alliance Commander’s right hand is my mother and her husband is my father. Well, they are not my biological family, they just adopted me. But I can’t remember my real parents, so for me, they are the only and real parents. I was raised as their child, so of course they are like real parents.

Also, I had a brother, Vroma. He was the biological child of my parents. I... I killed him. But it was... It was the biggest mistake of my life. I still regret it and think of him every day. *sheds a tear, Theron grabs her hand*

9. Oh? How about pets?

Yes, I have a beautiful colorful Orobird called Rekao and a cute little Tauntaun called Hanji. Of course, I ride them, but they are still my adorable pets!

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now, tell me something you don’t like?

I hate lies and manipulations. Also, pointless murder and cruelty.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

I really enjoy training. And also nowadays, since Juni joined us and she teaches me, I really love those hours of the day.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

Yes, sadly. I still try to correct my wrongs and become better.

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

Yes. And I regret every and each of them... If I could- if I could only bring them back somehow... *Theron hugs her*

14. What kind of animal are you?

That’s an interesting question! I never thought of it ever so I’m unsure... Maybe something peaceful and shy? I really don’t know.

15. Name your worst habits?

Worrying. I worry about everything and usually I freak out.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

I look up to my dad, he was always a rolemodel for me. Hard-working, precise, organized. Also, Juni is someone I can look up to. I would really love to be like her.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

I am straight, as far as I know. But I never really thought of it, Theron was the first who striked me like “Woah! He is something else!”, so yeah... *chuckles a bit and kisses Theron*

18. Do you go to school?

Well. For a few years I was trained by my mother, but I got into the Sith Academy later. As of now, no. I only learn from Juni.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

I’m already married! *shows the ring and smiles at Theron* But kids? Hmm. We’ll see about that. If I can get my life together as I would like to, then of course! I want a little Theron!

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

I don’t think so. Or... maybe, because of my special power?

21. What are you most afraid of?

Losing control over myself. Doing things I don’t really want. Being manipulated into doing things. *she looks at Xal, who was just passing by at the other end of the room*

22. What do you usually wear?

I usually wear something light and comfy. But I also wear my armor a lot.

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Deep-Fried Nuna Legs. Mmhh, they are just... So delicious. *whispers to Theron: can we go grab some after this?*

24. Am I annoying to you?

No, not at all! This is kind of exciting!

25. Well, it’s still not over!

Nice!

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

I’m not sure. Maybe middle? I’m certainly not that high, but I’m still far away from low. So I’d say on the brink of middle and high?

27. How many friends do you have?

All right, let me think it through. I have Theron, of course. Then there’s Lana, Juni, Mako, Jaesa, Vette, Torian... Yeah, let’s say I have a few.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

I’m not really a fan of sweet stuff- except for Theron. *they both laugh, Theron slightly blushes*

29. Favorite drink?

I don’t really drink, so I can’t choose one.

30. What’s your favorite place?

Mmh, I really love Odessen. But I loved Rishi too, I got my orobird, Rekao there.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

Well, other than my husband, no one.

32. That was a stupid question…

Well, considering you already asked a similar question, yeah, kind of.

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

I think a lake. It’s calm and peaceful. That is what I really need nowadays.

34. What’s your type?

As I said, I never looked at anyone other than Theron, so... You could say my type is Theron Shan! *gives kiss to Theron’s blushing cheek*

35. Any fetishes?

Nothing that I’m aware of.

36. Camping or outdoors?

Outdoors! It can be so calming and perfect for meditation. Or to just run away for a little time.

Favourite musician: I listen to all kinds of styles and musicians, but there are a few I keep coming back to I guess: Florence and the Machine, Hozier, Lana Del Rey, Marina and the Diamonds, Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons,...

Song stuck in my head: Currently Sunflower by Post Malone and Swae Lee

Other blogs: None, I am too occupied with this one as it is

Following: 247, is that a lot, I have no way of knowing if this is normal

Followers: 386, is tHAT A LOT, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS IS NORMAL (I joined only last year in september, I guess a growth like that is standart on tumblr, right...?)

Do I get asks: Occasionally, lately I got an ungodly amount of “Write down 10 things that make you happy” asks to the point I ran out of things that make me happy. :’D

Amount of sleep: About 6 or 7 hours, I wake up often at night though ever since I was born. There is rarely a night I sleep without waking.

Lucky numbers: 1, 2

What am I wearing right now: I knitted turtleneck with dark grey and black stripes, dark blue pj pants and black socks. (I am freezing and feel like I get a cold, gotta keep myself warm.) Also a PMA pin and a reddish-brown leather bracelet.

Dream job: Something with art and psychology and very independent. I want a job in which nobody has expectations and lets me work freely without a deadline.

Dream trip: I want to visit Britain, Ireland, Scotland and Japan someday. Also the Netherlands again because one of my best friends lives there. <3

Favourite food: Potatos, avocados, bananas, CHOCOLATE, CHIPS/CRISPS, bread, cookies, cake, ice cream,...

Instruments: singing, I played the recorder as a child, I tried playing the guitar (emphasis on ‘tried’...)

Language: German (my native language), english, a little bit of french, some words in romanian, also I practise ASL now (dunno if that counts tho)

Favourite song: Spectrum by Florence and the Machine (I love a lot of songs, but this one will always be one of my favorites), also Schalas Theme from Chrono Trigger <3

Random fact: I barely know anything about the world, which came from the way I was brought up by my parents and later years of isolation by my peers. I often hear people talking about stereotypes and cliches, but in my eyes everything looks original and fresh. Also I have less of a sensitivity towards things that make people tick these days. This gives me the ability to be open minded and being able to form an opinion without the influence of others moods. It does make me a little naive and uninformed though. Basically I never lost the ability to look at the world though the eyes of a child.

rules: answer these questions then tag people you would like to know better!

nickname:  Mel, except now that’s what they call me at work so I’m starting to like my full name a lot more lately

height: 5′5″ish

time: almost 3am because what is a circadian rhythm

fav bands/solo artists: aaaa this one’s always hard... Alabama Shakes, Against Me!, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Foxy Shazam, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, the Who, Regina Spektor

song stuck in my head: 25 Bucks by Danny Brown

last movie i saw: i legit had to consult Letterboxd because I’ve been not watching anything recently - apparently it was Birdbox

last thing i googled: “Kimi no Na wa” - I reblogged a gifset from it and wanted to know what it was about (it’s the original title of Your Name apparently)

other blogs: I have had this one since the dawn of time and no others.

do i get asks: almost never

why i chose my username: i was hard pressed to come up with something decent and i was taking a Sanskrit class and reading bits of Hindu folklore and /shrug. i’m not particularly attached to it but i’m bad at usernames.

following: I am currently following 229 blogs

what I’m wearing: a white tshirt with some palm trees on and red basketball shorts, because florida

dream job: editor is the realistic goal, eccentric corner bookstore owner is the dream.

dream trip: ok so with no practical basis in reality: sleep in a van and drive all over north & south america. then take a boat across the atlantic and hit Not America, literally wherever. i never run out of money, i eat awesome food, hike up mountains, meet some animals, and make friends with people, and i never have to get on a Fucking Plane. a realistically cool trip if i am ever in a place to just not work for a period of time and still have money would be some form of cross country endeavor through to alaska and back down, and then maybe a bed and breakfast in scotland or ireland, maybe some old villages somewhere.

fav food: salmon probably

play any instruments: i’ve played the piano off and on since i was about 6 or 7 and it’s my primary instrument. i played french horn for summer band camp and then moved to bassoon for middle school, and only picked up bassoon again briefly in college for a shit sand giggles orchestra class (i miss it!)

fav song: we will be here all day while i think of one. i’ll just throw out Shut Up and Dance by walk the moon because it’s happy and I always crank it when it comes on.

play(ed) any sports: i did soccer for a year as a kid (i did cartwheels on the field apparently). i did martial arts and dance for a while though.

hair color: right now really light bottle blonde but it’s growing out. think rose tyler but with more roots and floof.

eye color: bluish green

most iconic song: ???

random fact: my dog is snoring and hogging the bed

languages you speak/are learning: English. I learned German in high school/college but not to the point of functionality, and I’ve been trying to pick up Spanish from my coworkers.
