Me (getting back into OM having still not finished the main story):

Me: ..........

[chvoswxtch]

so I spent all day updating my phone theme bc i'm a very exciting person that does very exciting weekend things

anyway it's been like 3 years since I last did it & I went all marvel this time & i'm just really excited about it & proud & wanted to share it with my friends (y'all) <3

[cozymochi]

this has been ongoing for a while between me and another homie to watch every mainline film in the disney animated canon (this doesnt include pixar i kinda always end up having to specifying that), and a homie at work who sorta saw their way into our conversation was like “omg i should do that too that sounds so fun!”

i dont think blud realizes how taxing and genuinely difficult of a challenge that is once u actually try it ��

it aint the same beast as watching ur favorites on repeat,,,,,,

we got 3 films left……….. (this isn’t chronological)

[queer-ragnelle]

First time writing an outline & I’m incapable of taking it seriously. Like Gawain instantly heart-eyes at his pre-curse future wife & she reciprocates & they proceed to engage m in the most unhinged three days of courting ever conceived. My two writing modes are verbose or it’s a joke; a novel or a shitpost. How am I supposed to reconcile this for my editor?

[lecliss]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I finally got to Red's introduction!!!!! I knew Max Mittelman was gonna do a good job as Red but Im so used to energetic voices from him like Ryuji and Agnum that a deep chill voice was like, really unexpected for me. I barely even recognized it as him, but that just goes to show how good of a VA he is!!!!! And hes voicing the Mr. Fuzzy Wuzzy Fluffy Boy aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[inkyquince]

ngl u posting abt naoya being a misogynistic homo with severe incest disease wasnt on my 2024 bingo but i'm loving it AKJDJIQJO

Julian, please, I have visions that are correct and ground breaking.

I cooked for ages and my food is delicious and that man wants to fuck male cousins. But he also has a weird breeding kink and the moment he sees a T-Dick, he collapses, all of his blood going to his boner. If his grandparents had a kid super late, who later transitioned to being a man, he's moaning for his uncle as he's going ham on that thang.

I legitmately went down a mental hole of him sneaking hormones into his fiance's drinks because he found gay trans porn and has been sustaining an erection for over 40 hours now and he can't BREATH.

IM JUST WORRIED PEOPLE AREN'T READY FOR MASCULIZATION AS A KINK, EVEN THO FEMINIZATION IS VERY MUCH A KINK.

It would be the inverse of the omegaverse fics who turn a beta into an omega through bitching them, and instead grabbing an omega by the scruff and forcing them to sit still as the alpha swallows copious amounts of omega cum and puts them on hormones.

Anyway, hey Julian, I kick my wee feet when I see you slapping like in those angry homo Naoya posts. How's the weather, how's the boyfriend? Do you know that baby hedgehogs are called Hoglets? Wonderful time to be alive.

chaotic hot take about Mew!

I keep seeing folks say Mew's got it all under control or the real mastermind blah blah and ep02 solidified to me that's not the way the story's going.

Mew sets a boundary, Top pushes, and Mew gives just enough that Top gets his way - shower time, and Top staying over for the night - but since Top doesn't get his way 100% Mew feels like he's in control. That he's holding all the cards - he's not. I also think Mew likes the idea that he can "fix" Top after what Chuem said, how Mew could be the one to "change" Top. It's classic fixing of the bad boy, Top already crossed out two of Mew's requirements for a boyfriend - "gets along with me friends" is deliciously ironic I ate that shit up lmao - when Top doesn't get along with his friends - Ray can't stand him and Top knows it and needles Ray, while Boston wants to hop on his dick and Top's got an air of well the ring doesn't cover the hole - and Top doesn't really respect Mew - again boundary pushing, public proposal, and not telling Mew about Boston - so like, Mew's on the path to getting with Top even tho he doesn't really know Top at all.

And like, maybe Top does develop legitmate feelings for Mew later on, their relationship is still based on manipulation and lies on Top's part and I don't want Mew to forgive that.

Kick the fuckboi to the curb!! Listen to Auntie Pikachu Mew!!!! We can't fix fuckbois!!!

i love you expanding on the zenin’s & megumi’s dynamic because like — there had to be so much more than gojo just getting megumi. it had to involve more politics, more manipulation, etc & you added to that.

( i always like that detail about gojo teaching megumi everything from the gojo playbook. like it made me realize that megumi was more gojo than zenin, which probably pissed off the zenin )

what made you expand on the great custody battle between gojo & the zenins for megumi? like the visitation rights? did gojo know how badly megumi was going to be treated? also how would you describe megumi dynamic with each prominent zenin clan member (ex. naoya, mai, naobito, maki.)

I am sooo convinced there’s an entire child custody battle political drama lurking beneath canon but gege denies me

Visitation rights:

The decision that the Zenin clan briefly got visitation rights was a combination of where Gojo was at that point in life and what a sheer, unmitigated shitshow adopting Megumi must have caused.

The thing is that the Zenin and the Gojo clan are established in canon as rivals at best and enemies at worst. Gojo swanning in like "I have discovered the Magic of teenaged fatherhood and want to teach this spunky, angry little dude how to Throw A Baseball. Btw he's zenin and the clan already sort of “”””””purchased”””””” him, meaning they already consider him property even more than they usually do with their kids. i will be keeping him tho. xoxoxoxoxo" must have been insulting to the Zenin. It must have been even more insulting that he could legitmately do that and overpower their entire clan without having to even try. It's bad even if megumi is just like, the run of the mill sorcerer. But he had the most powerful techinque in their bloodline. I legitimately think that Gojo almost started a war when he decided that his boyfriend had dumped him and he needed to immediately adopt a child about it.

The thing is that I think gojo really must have been committing the ultimate taboo for a society he was raised within. Older, traditional mindsets tend to think of children as property, and the clans are established to be almost exclusively self governed. Gojo making a Zenin boy his business would stomp right over that standard. Add in the complication of inherited techniques being viewed as almost a highly treasured clan heirloom within the invidual families, and you have a perfect recipe for the entire world being very very angry at Gojo for doing this.

And the thing is that present-day Gojo would have absolutely told everyone to get fucked, he does what he wants.

But this isn't present-day Gojo. This is seventeen year old Gojo. And he's just coming off three of the biggest failures of his life: 1) Riko's death, 2) Haibara's death and 3) Geto's defection.

Gojo has always been extremely self-assured as a character, but teenagers tend to be a little bit more uncertain and vulnerable than their adult counterparts, and Gojo, again, had just been hit by failure after failure. If there was ever a time in his life where he would have been looking for outside guidance, it was this one.

And the number one most likely candidate to guide him in this was Yaga.

I've talked in other posts about how Principal Yaga's dynamic with Gojo suggests he's not in the inner circle of trust the way that Nanami, Shoko, or even Ijichi is. I've also discussed how I think he compromises too much with the higher ups, why that works with his character but ultimately comes to the detriment of the students, and how he ultimately fails to protect the students in his charge.

The thing is that if Yaga was making the decision, he absolutely would have compromised with the Zenin.

Yaga very consistently is shown to care about the students, but to not protect them. It's also established that the most likely cause of that is the fact that he panders to the higher ups, even if he is more progressively minded than someone like Gakuganji.

In the past arc, geto and gojo have a throwaway line in a conversation about how Yaga's busy campaigning to be principal with the higher ups. we also have him 1) excluded from the people who know about Yuuji's survival, which 2) he later punishes Gojo for, albeit partially because of the disrespect towards Gakuganji and for hiding his survival.

That being said, if I was the principal of a school where my sister school's principal set up my entire first year class to die, i would not be punishing a teacher for disrespecting that man. I would be too busy beating him to death with my bare hands. Good luck trying some shit with my fucking students again you dead fuck.

i would simply not make it as an educator in this world.

Gojo would have had the entire world up in arms at him when he took megumi and refused to give him back. The Zenin, for obvious reasons--but also the higher ups trying to preserve the status quo and the other clans, who want to maintain their ability to rear and keep their children without outside interference. He would have most likely said to give Megumi back entirely, but I don't think Gojo would go for that complete of a surrender of him, especially after Megumi asked him to keep him with Tsumiki and to keep them in a place she could be happy.

But very limited visitation would 1) at least somewhat soothe ruffled feathers, even if they are still furious, 2) give megumi access to information on his technique that he could not possibly get otherwise, and 3) supposedly cause minimal damage, since they only get him for a few days a month and are supposed to love him more than anyone. It's the sort of compromise I could see Yaga pitching in the best possible faith--and it's the sort of compromise that I see blowing up spectacularly, because the Zenin are fucking insane.

When I'm dealing with past versions of characters with very defined personalities, I sort of like to trace in the roots of their present-day selves in any backstory i make for them. Gojo of the present day is completely uncompromising when it comes to protecting his students and their youth. He is not afraid to butt heads with the higher ups and ruffle feathers to do it. So i decided to make that because he compromised when he was seventeen and doing his best, and Megumi paid the price, and he is so, so goddamn sorry for that. He doesn't let Yaga into the inner circle by the time we make it to canon because he was in the inner circle, and taking his advice directly resulted in Gojo's absolute biggest regret, which was letting the Zenin have unsupervised access to Megumi.

I think Gojo as a character is someone who refuses to repeat old mistakes, and what happened when Megumi was a child is something that he won't ever forgive or forget. A part of him still blames Yaga for convincing him to compromise with the Zenin and iced him out by the time we hit canon as a result.

Gojo and Megumi's treatment:

He had absolutely no idea how bad it would be for Megumi.

The thing is that Gojo approached it with the severely biased mindset of someone who thought he knew exactly how Megumi would be treated when he was with the clan, because it was supposed to be how he was treated growing up. The Six Eyes/Limitless user and the Ten Shadows were supposed to be corollaries. Megumi was meant to be to the Zenin what Gojo was to his clan, and if anything, the issue with his clan was that they treasured him too much. Gojo get up as this much beloved, much revered godling who was put on a pedestal and had all the distance of it.

In my mind, the issue with his childhood was that he was indulged to the point of being deprived of actual human connection or intimacy that he didn't truly get until Geto and Shoko.

In Gojo's mind, the biggest danger was that Megumi would be treated with too much reverence and distance, but he was spending the vast majority of the month with his big sister and the teen parenting trio. He would get plenty of normal interaction and intimacy from them. He thought that there would be no one in the Zenin clan who would dare raise a finger against him, because no one would have ever done that to him as a child. He never imagined that the Zenin would be legitimately dangerous to Megumi, and there were a lot of red flags he overlooked when the worst of it was going on because he assumed he already knew what was happening. When this was happening, he was completely burnt out, overwhelmed, mourning more than one friend, and struggling to meet the burden of being the strongest alone. He thought Megumi was acting out because 1) megumi already was getting in fights at school, and he made the mistake of thinking that Megumi was just a stubborn kid going through a sort of angry phase and 2) that Megumi hated them so much because visitation days meant he couldn’t stay with his sister. He didn’t realize that Megumi was fighting so hard to not go on visits because he was legitimately afraid of what the Zenin clan would do to him when he got there. For a lot of reasons that I won’t get into now, Megumi thought that putting up with the abuse was the cost of getting to keep his sister. He asked for help, told them that he didn’t like it at the Zenin compound and didn’t want to go, but he didn’t have the words to really explain what they were doing to him and gojo didn’t understand how bad it was. Megumi read this as “knowing and not caring” and thought the teen parenting trio knew how bad it was and that he just had to suffer through it or they’d take his sister away from him. By the time they realized what was really going on, it had escalated beyond the point of repair. Gojo has a lot of regrets.

Megumi's dynamic:

Naobito: Disturbed.

Naobito was the one who initially purchased Megumi from his father. And if Gojo hadn't had intervened, he would have personally taken Megumi into his household and raised him as the Zenin clan heir. He didn't really give a shit about Megumi until he realized he was the Ten Shadows, and after that, he felt completely entitled to him.

I think Naobito was always sort of insulted by Gojo's existence. He predated Gojo, is the thing, and he's the most powerful character that we know of in the pre-Gojo era other than Yuki Tsukomo, who wasn't an active fighter for the higher ups. As far as we know, he was the strongest until Gojo and Geto came along. Gojo potentially represented an immediate and violent shift of power from the Zenin clan to the Gojo, and it definitely would sting to be upstaged by a literal child.

The Ten Shadows returning to the clan represented a chance to correct that balance again.

If we accept that the Ten Shadows is a technique that can rival the Six Eyes/Limitless user, as well as the idea that the universe introduces “balances” to the birth of beings of power, then we at least have an environment where the Zenin may believe that whoever is next born with the Ten Shadows would be Gojo Satoru’s equal. Considering they value strength above all else, that gives them major incentive to desire the assimilation of whoever has the ten shadows technique into the clan.

But this was made a lot worse by the fact that the last ten shadows died.

The timeline in this is generally:

Second to last ten shadows: the one who got in the duel with the six eyes that gojo discussed in canon (~500 years ago)

Last ten shadows: child that was killed within months of discovering his technique (~200-300 years ago)

Current ten shadows: Megumi.

So they had just come off an overwhelmingly powerful Ten Shadows user, only to hurtle into the shame and humiliation of not being able to protect the next one. I like the idea that the six eyes and the ten shadows tend to pop up at the same time, so that means that the last six eyes got to grow and gain power while the Zenin were still licking their wounds from their heir being offed at a very young age. It’s insult to injury.

In the modern age, Naobito is coming off the humiliation of having been replaced by a literal child as the strongest sorcerer. He’s still harboring the ancestral humiliation of having lost the last ten shadows. And then gojo hits the humiliation of taking the new one right out from under his nose. Naobito bears that humiliation personally, because he’s the clan leader who should have brought Megumi into the fold and didn’t.

As a result, he’s just about obsessed with Megumi. He absolutely refuses to give up on bringing him back into the clan and grooming him to be the perfect, promised heir whose idea he’s been clinging to since before Megumi was even born.

There’s just something about how, in canon, Naobito had a clause in his will locked and loaded to make Megumi heir if anything happened to take gojo out of commission. I think that losing Megumi to gojo was personal to him, and that he’s almost fixated on Megumi as a result.

For his part, Megumi hates him and is a little afraid of him, though he’d never admit it. All of his interactions with the Zenin clan are skewed through the lens of “he was fucking six and just thought they were crazy motherfuckers who were weird about blood.” Megumi legitimately does not understand how important his technique is to them—he thinks they’d be possessive with any inherited technique, and he has sort of explained away any weirdness particular to him as it being because of what went down with gojo.

The Zenin view what they do to him as love. He’s the inheritor of their most treasured technique, and the only good thing toji did was name him blessing. It’s like Maki said—any resistance he has to them is attributed to Gojo’s influence, and they’re banking on overcoming it one day and returning him to the clan. Things like wearing the kimono and being called the ten shadows is a sign of genuine honor for them.

Megumi views it as a constant, persistent humiliation that’s probably just meant to spite gojo. They bought him because they’d buy any kid who inherited a technique, and then gojo saved him, which embarrassed the clan, so they’ve been getting back at him for it ever since. They can’t actually hurt gojo, so they hurt the kid he saved.

He’s dressed up like a doll in the kimono to mock him. Being called the ten shadows isn’t an honor to him—it’s dehumanizing. He has a name and they refuse to call him anything but his technique, which is why they bought him to begin with. From his perspective, it’d be like if you were hired for being Microsoft proficient and your boss refused to call you anything but “excel spreadsheet” because that’s all you were to them.

Naobito is the one who had “custody” of him as a kid in the clan, and he’s the one who called a lot of the shots with how he was treated. Megumi remembers him as the source of some of his most painful moments in childhood, and it’s undercut with this growing fear that Naobito won’t let him go. He’s sort of picked up on how obsessed Naobito is with him, and it scares him even if he doesn’t want to admit it.

Naoya: about as bad as can be.

Megumi really hits all of naoya’s inferiority/superiority complex hard. The thing is that Naoya kind of is sour he didn’t get the ten shadows. He was born right after gojo satoru, to the heir of the clan. He wants to be strong more than anything, and the ten shadows is supposed to be one of the strongest things in the world. Megumi is toji’s son, who he’s got that weird obsession with. And everyone sort of presumes Megumi would be heir if gojo hadn’t stolen him, which is a position Naoya would kill for.

In my mind, Naoya was one of megumis biggest abusers as a child. It made him feel strong to be able to hurt him. It made him feel strong to be able to make Megumi feel weak. His father was obsessed with Megumi, but Naoya was just cruel to him.

Megumi is legitimately terrified of Naoya. There was a time in his life where he genuinely thought Naoya would kill him one day.

Mai: A missed opportunity.

Megumi does remember Maki and Mai. Playing with them was the only good memory he has from that part of his life. He thinks of them as fondly as he can think of anything that happened in that place, and occasionally hopes they're okay, but he doesn’t really think of having a relationship with her ever. That would require going back to the Zenin, and he won’t ever willingly do that.

I’ve talked about how Mai thinks of Megumi in other posts, but he really does occupy a slightly less bitter version of the space Maki occupies in her mind. He was kind to her when no one else was, and it really was something that meant the world to her. There was a time in her life where she wished desperately he would come back and be her friend again. He was the ten shadows and the presumed heir to the clan, and he didn’t let anyone hurt her or Maki and agreed that they could all be friends. He sort of fueled her hope that things would get better one day, and when he went no contact, it sort of crashed her into a realization that it never would.

Maki: potential for growth

Maki turned her back on her entire family so she wouldn’t be crushed down, and that’s not something that didn’t hurt her. She convinced herself she would be absolutely alone for the rest of her life, but it would be fine because she would be strong enough to stand alone. It wouldn’t hurt.

(It did hurt.)

The other first years actually started to pull her back from that. It’s that moment after her talk with Yuuta, where she tells herself that she shouldn’t fall for it and go thinking she’s actually been accepted. She thought she would be alone and suddenly, for the first time, she’s not.

Megumi was a half remembered child she played with one time growing up. He didn’t mean the same to her that he did to Mai, because she didn't consider him a source of hope that things would get better the way that Mai did.

At the beginning of the fic, he was a bit of a sore spot, but not because of anything about him. I tried to very lightly hint that she had a bit of a sore spot around the Ten Shadows because there was a time in her life that people used to think that maybe she'd get it.

From birth, people knew Gojo would be the six eyes and limitless user. I like to think the Ten Shadows is the antithesis of the Six Eyes in almost every possible way, so in my mind, the ten shadows is notoriously hard to spot.

And i think that there is some canon to suggest this. Namely, the fact that they didn't know Megumi would have the ten shadows (or they wouldn't have been waiting to see what technique he had), the fact that megumi's cursed energy aura canonically changes with the shikigami summoned (re: his entire cursed energy output changing when he summoned mahoraga for the first time), and the fact that a huge part of his technique is stealth. With Gojo, you feel him from the other side of the block, but Megumi can be hiding in your own goddamn shadow and you don't know it.

I also like the idea that the Six Eyes and Ten Shadows tend to show up within the same lifetime. So from the second that Gojo Satoru was born, the zenin had an eye on the ten shadows finally returning to the clan once more.

Maki is from a branch of the clan that appears to be pretty high in the zenin clan hierarchy. By the time that she would have been developing a technique, if any, Naoya would have been confirmed as having not gotten it. Maki and Mai were the only other kids in that upper hierarchy that we know of. Canonically, it's implied you don't see curses from birth (if i have the right translation, Gojo at one point asks Megumi if he's started to see them, implying it doesn't happen right away, and when the Zenin buy megumi, they talk about how they think he has potential, implying there's an uncertain period where you don't know if a kid will be able to see curses). The clan probably had a lot of hope for them.

At one point, Kamo mentions that it would have been better if maki or mai had inherited Megumi's techinque, and I like to think that was a shared sentiment. Gojo was seventeen and had already usurped their clan as the strongest. They were getting desperate for the ten shadows to return, and a lot of people looked to maki and Mai for potentially inheriting it. And out of the two of them, Maki is the one that came off as having power (because she did--it was just a heavenly pact). Maki was certain, and confident, and moved like someone strong. People really, really wanted it to be her for a while. When she talks about how her dad used to take her to see the kimono a lot, it's because he was hoping she would wear it one day.

Maki was never jealous of Megumi. She's better off without her family anyway, and she's confident in who she is. But at the start, he was a little bit of a reminder of the sort of fall she had from the Zenin clan's greatest hope to their biggest disappointment. She never held any of it against him, but he reminded her of bad memories and set her on edge.

That turned on a dime while talking with Tsumiki in chapter 5, when she started piecing everything together. And megumi sort of became this chance to heal from old regrets.

Megumi will never be what Mai was to her, but a part of Maki still hasn't healed from leaving mai behind and losing her. Her sister hates her, and probably always will, and maki doesn't regret what she did but she does regret that it blew back on mai. She couldn't stay for mai, but she doesn't have to stay to help Megumi. She's sort of been ushered into a perfect opportunity to protect him from her family the way she could never protect mai, and he already means more to her than she really wants to admit out loud. She genuinely wants to protect him from her family, and a bit part of that is so that way she can finally protect someone from them, instead of just... failing and losing them.

For megumi's part, it's the same as mai--he barely remembers Maki, but he did think of her as the source of the only good memory he had in the clan.

He ran off with Mai, and Maki tracked them both down. He stomped his stupid clan clothes into the mud, and they didn't hurt him for it, not even a little bit. They played together, and playing is something he never had time to do anymore. Mai was the damsel, and Maki was the brave warrior coming to save her, and megumi's dogs played the part of the terrible monsters who had stolen mai away. Maki bullied Megumi into carrying her "swords" for her, and megumi honestly didn't mind, because all people did was make him fight at that stupid compound, and he just was relieved no one was hitting him for once. it was one of the greatest days he can remember from that phase of his life, and Maki has since been one of the only two zenin he missed. He hasn't thought of her in a while. He'd be glad to hear she got out.

i think with that fear and worry abt ai "doing it better" than ppl, it is good to know that we are unfair and biased with how we treat things and art

if i was shown a video of some great pianist playing a song id be like "hey thats great, what a fun watch" id enjoy it yeah. but if my friend was like "so ive been learning that same song" and they played it for me, but at half the speed, with lots of mistakes, and theyve only learned 50% of the song so far. id be fuckin stoked, id think that was so cool, id want to record it, like legitmately.

"its not nearly as clean as the one on the video tho" you fail to see how cool it is that my friends learning the song, its "irrational" i guess? but at the end of the day i think its really fucking cool and im really happy i get to see them play it. it may seem unfair, but when this applies to everyone, i think its fair.

ai is even more removed from this cuz its not a video of someone performing a song, its a pattern driven program creating it. at best its cool because its a technical feat of programming, that we (people) were able to create a program so complex, but thats it

[mimbotomy]

Thank you @lazuliquetzal for the tag! 🩷

How many works do you have on AO3? 10! Which feels small because I have more than three times as many WIPs rattling around in my google docs rip

What’s your total AO3 word count? 561,190

What fandoms do you write for? AC Odyssey! Except I write so many crossovers so I have a couple other fandoms on my AO3 as well. I also have WIPs for AC Valhalla, House of the Dragon, and ATLA. Fun fact, I also have Odyssey crossovers planned for two of those fandoms, and I'll let you guess which two 😜

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Rebirth - My beloved, my baby, I swear I am still writing this My Miraculous Ladybug fic - I wrote this seven years ago and like to pretend it doesn't exist Assassins, Atlantis, and Avengers - Unfortunately on indefinite hiatus, but I've gotten so many nice comments on it recently that I've been thinking a lot about it! The Children of Kephallonia - MY FAVORITE FIC OF MINE EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS I'M SO PROUD OF THIS ONE Not a Malákes Ravenclaw - Absolutely ridiculous I can't believe people actually like this (it's so fun to write tho 😂)

Do you respond to comments? I do my best but I'm not actually the best lol

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Of my published fics, The Lioness, but only if you read the first chapter and ignore my ramblings in the second chapter about how SPOILERS deaths would change canon.

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? There is No Escape...! It technically has the same ending as my other Kassandra drags Phoibe out of the Underworld fic, but this fic has a planned sequel called the Electric Boogaloo, so I think it's obvious which one I had more fun writing 😂

Do you get hate on fics? One or two negative comments but for the most part people have been really nice to me! Which I appreciate, because I am a smol anxious bean who just wants friends 🥰

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I have a few bordering on spicy scenes, but no real smut.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? BOY DO I HAVE CROSSOVERS I have so many crossovers, like too many crossovers, all putting the queen of my heart Kassandra the Eagle Bearer in another universe and making her the main character she is clearly supposed to be. My craziest one is probably my AC Odyssey x Harry Potter crossover, but I am now hesitant to call it crazy because it now seems to make sense to me??? So maybe I'm going crazy???

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Nope!

Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope again!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Once again, nope! But I honestly think co writing a fic would be so fun to try, at least once.

What’s your all time favorite ship? Kassidas. I always liked it but it has legitmately taken over my brain the last year. I blame @aeide's amazing Kassidas' fics

What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Assassins, Atlantis, and Avengers. It's on indefinite hiatus right now because while I have an outline and even a few scattered scenes written, actually writing it seems impossible right now. But I hold out hope that I will come back to it one day!

What are your writing strengths? Character relationships! (At least in my opinion lol)

What are your writing weaknesses? Does constantly going back and rewriting chapters because I slightly changed my idea and want to foreshadow things better count? If not, I could be better at setting the scene and not just imagining it in my head.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Definitely not opposed to doing so, albiet through google translate because I am truly terrible with languages, but I always try to keep it short and I include translations in the endnotes.

First fandom you wrote for? Miraculous Ladybug. I sometimes like to pretend that fic doesn't exist because I feel bad that I forgot what I had planned/never finished it.

Favorite fic you’ve written? THE CHILDREN OF KEPHALLONIA I feel like I really came into my own as a writer when I started plotting out this fic and I'm really happy with my worldbuilding, character relationships, misc narrative choices, and just how my writing style has improved from my first fics. If you want to read any of my fics, I recommend this one.

I vaguely remember doing this exact tag game at some point, but time is an illusion and I have no idea when this was! So if I tag you and you did this recently, do not feel any pressure to do it again!

Tagging @aeide, @uhhhyaenbyjade, @zephyrwolf5, @ithinkthiswasabadidea, and anyone else who wants to do this!

[blueonwrestling]

jericho vs sydal was some damn good stuff, a top guy like jericho going 50/50 with sydal on rampage is good stuff for jericho.

obviously aew are being a little sneaky here doing this on rampage to edit a crowd, but i legitmately don't think the crowd here was going to overly boo jericho, they seem pretty pro jericho, maybe not on his SIDE jericho, but like just fine to cheer him.

hi i rlly like ur tav reader. theyre very earnest. i dontplaybg3 but i am enjoying the writing quite a lot so far. and i feel like i know wyll already from all your posting. the didion quote has me revaluating writing tho in a positive way! ty fot sharing

thank you!!! im glad their earnesty shines through thats the main character trait i want to show.... thank u for reading it means a lot.

ALSO LOVE THAT JOAN DIDION QUOTE... i dont even know if its that i agree with it but i just. i like that framework. here is the full thing!!!

i like the rest of the article because she goes on to talk about her identity as a writer and experiencing life in this almost periphereal way it was just so... relatable to my own experiences with the practice of writing.

THIS QUOTE IN PARTICULAR.... "I knew that I was no legitmate resident in any world of ideas. I knew I couldn't think. All I knew then was what I couldn't do. All I knew then was what I wasn't and it took me some years to discover what I was.

Which was a writer."

2 years now of bein vegetarian

i will say this for anyone wondering if its doable yes! yes it defitnly is! i ate meat and dairy my entire life before i realy understood like,,,,,what It Was that i was eating and i dont love that i wasnt given a choice, obviously children are fed what the family eats but i have some pretty deep resentment that i love animals and due to the common cogniative dissonace or wtfever i just didnt.....,,think of it the same. which is fine for a child who doesnt know or understand but years later i feel regret over eating animals when i knew for a while that i had issues with it, i dont enjoy the concept of the eating of the dead flesh and nowadays every time i see a photo of a cow or chicken i do legitmately think to myself 'wow i am certainly glad i donr eat you anymore' so its defitnly a singular self choice that an individual makes themselves, i didnt stop eating meat until i was 28 and that was bc my cat avery had a rash on her leg that she had licked the fur straight off and i took her to the vet but it was literally seeing her almost bloodied leg that fucked something in my head and i went 'ah i dont want to consume dead animals anymore' so after that i just like....,didnt.

the only time when i can say for 2 years that i may have eaten some (unintentional) meat was a can of beans that i hadnt checked the ingredients had bacon in it and i scooped the pieces i could find out but probly still ate some. its still a proud thing for me really tho bc i think it has helped my mind alot, but for anyone wondering no i didnt notice a huge difference in my health bc i eat enough othet protein i guess, another thing is i stopped eating dairy by itself meaning i dont eat cheese or eggs or butter or drink milk by like itself, but i have still eaten dairy if its already in the product which i am i gonna go full vegan eventually. alot of the things are hmm like salad dressing or bread or chips or snack foods will have dairy, ive cut out alot tho and dairy i DEFINTLY feel a difference if you have stomach problems (i had acid reflux and some othet evil stuff) i would rather cut out or even just reduce dairy and see how you feel im personally very passionate abt the negative effects of dairy bc of stomach problems and the hormones etc but anyways if ur considering it!!!! lol is possible just keep with it and its okay to slowly wean urself off rather than some grand overhaul but i do genuinly think its a better thing for just ur mind even, just knowing you dont eat something that was alive and had a mind and a personality and feelings.

its a choice only you can make but i think its worth it

me, 2024: wow i love sean paul. too bad i cannot understand a word he's saying.

the man could legitmately produce and distribute music talking about coconuts and mojitos with a list of his top 10 favorite animals as the hook and i'd be like "hell yeah. banger."

dutty rock a vibe tho so whatever.

Daddy ur so brave for making such a FILTHY IF 😳😳 I can’t wait for it to come out :3

Jokes aside tho, it’s actually awe inspiring that you made a dark IF and from what I’ve seen in the IF community they’re quite vanilla at dark things. Like i remember one IF where one of the LI is their brother, i mean they’re not biologically related since the brother is an alien but i guess the sounds of raunchy stepbrother filthy alien sex is scary to them. And seeing you inky one of the best filthy disgusting porn writer making an IF honestly it is very amazing and i love you for it keep it up daddy can’t wait for your next content to drop out‼️

Dont let nobody stops you from making a disturbing content the shit you make is honestly so fucking great

ur so fucking sweet and im going to go fucking insane you little lad im scuttling over im tackling im kissing im wailing im peeing on the floor a wee bit

i just want to implement my favourite shit. a greying doctor who happens to be connected to one of the origins in a familial way, a deeply repressed guy who wants to fuck in werewolf form, a mean husband who wants to make MC their kept paramour, an openly horny nasty one, a younger sibling to another RO who openly WANTS TO smash no matter what- LEGITMATELY, emil/emilia is one of my favourites cuz they're so fucking sick in the head, no matter how you treated them in prior games, from sweet and kindly to dismissive and rude, they're going to develop a weird fixation on the MC just cuz of that and will get so nasty if ur romancing their sibling and want you to cheat. plus an opera singer who is the ex of one of the others who will either be such a fucking bitch to you or will be so weird and possessive and obsessive if you show interest in them both or just them-

inhale.

im just happy i get to implement my favourite tropes plus making an MC i would wanna play with the different origins. like you got bastard mc, adopted mc, rich bitch mc, orphaned mc, etc and URH

im so excited to work way more on it

and you, you sweet, sweet, horny anon, i kiss on the lips for being so fucking nice and sweet

also they should have had nasty alien brother sex in that one game, weak

[nostalgia-tblr]

you’re right about the bashirs tho

i kno but tumblr is VERY against them and some of that seems to be connected to people's own experiences/fears and i worry it'd be seen as ableist to defend them and also one of the tags suggests fandom is sometimes a bit ableist about people with learning disabilities (sorry if not current correct term there, no offence intended) while complaining about the ableism of the bashirs and that could go badly too. "Oh he'd have caught up eventually" well what if he didn't? would you (generic you!) be okay with it then? can i have a list of which disabilities you consider things to be cured and which are allowed to continue to exist as Legitmate Human Diversity?
